DIMAPUR, SEP 3 (NPN): Taking serious note of the recent vandalization of a Church in Punjab, the Naga land Joint Christian Forum (NJCF) said the incident has once again raised an alarm that Christians are never secure in the hands of the majority.Ina statement, NJCF vice president Rev. Dr. N. Paphino wondered why has the nation become so intolerant to people of other faith? Pointing out that India has always taken pride in her size as the world most populous democracy in the world, NJCF, however, said this was turning out to be a threat to the religious minorities in the big nation. “The uncontrolled element fuelled by certain religious fanatics in the country has emboldened certain scrupu lous groups to create restless and unsafe situations across the nation,” he said. While appreciating Punjab chief minister for reassuring the people by proclaiming that a probe has been initiated into the “highly condemnable” in cident, NJCF demanded justice and to restore peace of mind and assurance to the Christian community and other minority groups that “we matter to the nation as much as the majority.” NJCF said that hate crimes in the country against religious minorities have always a labelled as false report and a conspiracy while the authority “usually explain their way out”. “There is an undercur rent movement to destroy the secular spirit in the coun try. Only when the author ity takes what has happen seriously as a threat to the nation then, confidence and insecurity feelings of the minorities will be restored and the nation will move forward,” NJCF stated. The forum called upon people of different religious traditions and faith in India to live in peace. (Full text on p-6)

SEP 3 Doctors are seeing cardiovascular, neurological and mental health disorders. A lot of young patients are having myocarditis after Co vid infections, said Nishith Chandra, director of inter ventional cardiology at For tis Escorts Heart Institute. “They are definitely related to Covid,” he said. Adding a word of caution for those who have had Covid, he said: “Anyone who has had moderate to severe Covid should look for symptoms of fatigue, breathlessness or palpita tions. If these symptoms are present, then they should seek consultation from a car diologist who should do an ECG and ECHO to rule out Covid-induced myocarditis. If treated in time, it can be reversed to a great extent.” Anurag Agrawal, for mer head of the Insacog laboratory consortium and chair of the WHO’s Techni cal Advisory Group on Virus Evolution, said the trend of increasing cardiac events was being reported globally. Joyeeta Basu, a phy sician from New Delhi’s Lady Hardinge Medical College, said those who had recovered from Covid in the recent past should get a physical check-up before resuming training. This is especially for those who are training for marathons, longdistance runners and people who do high-intensity work outs, Basu said, adding that she had seen more cases of post-Covid arrhythmias in the 30-45 age group. The mantra, doctors say, after Covid would be moderate exercise and not strenuous, high-intensity exercises. Covid is leaving people sicker- susceptible to a range of medical condi tions. Nutritionist Kavita Devgan said an increasing number of patients were hav ing a badly affected gut, hay wire sugar and thyroid cases due to stress and fatigue. A recent analysis by the Financial Times showed a significant rise in deaths from heart disease since the start of the pandemic. FT analysed data from UK’s National Health Service and found that in the 4064 age group, heart attacks increased 15% in 2021 com pared with 2019. Researchers also found that rates of many conditions like heart failure and stroke were substantially higher in people who had recovered from Covid.

The Kremlin’s refusal to formally declare a state funeral reflects its uneasi ness about the legacy of Gorbachev, who has been venerated worldwide for bringing down the Iron Cur tain but reviled by many at home for the Soviet collapse and the ensuing economic meltdown that plunged mil lions into poverty.

Correspondent SHILLONG, SEP 3: The BJP on Saturday threatened to withdraw support to the National People’s Party (NPP)-led Meghalaya Dem ocratic Alliance (MDA) government following the spate of allegations against the government.“Wemay withdraw support from the government within one month. We will discuss with our party na tional president (JP Nadda). Discussions are going on,” BJP’s national vice-president and Meghalaya in-charge, M Chuba Ao told reporters after a marathon meeting chaired by BJP general sec retary (Organisation), B.L. Santosh. “Once the party makes a decision to with draw support it would chalk out its strategy for its way ahead by explaining to the people why it has withdrawn its support,” he informed. However, the Conrad Sangma-led government will not collapse even if the two BJP legislators- Alexan der Laloo Hek and Sanbor Shullai- withdraw support as the effective strength of the government then will be 46 including the Speaker Met bah Lyngdoh and Deputy Speaker Timothy D. Shira in the 60-member House Meghalaya assembly.

Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, SEP 3 (NPN): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Jagat Prakash Nadda is expected to visit Nagaland during the third week of September.According to BJP sources, JP Nadda is sched uled to inaugurate the State BJP office in Kohima dur ing his visit. He is also like ly to hold meeting with BJP karyakartas and legislators. Nadda is also expected to pay a courtesy call on chief minister Neiphiu Rio. BJP sources said Nad da’s visit will be finalized once the final touch-up is done on the State BJP office.Nadda’s visit comes close on the heels of the visit by national BJP gen eral secretary (Organisa tion) BL Santosh. During his visit Santosh had also inspected the BJP office site. Santosh had reportedly been made to understand that BJP cannot go it alone contrary to the demand of some of its leaders. The state party unit is also mulling the re-location of some of the 20 seats to other districts where it has better prospects. On this, score sources said Nadda could likely discuss the is sue with the state party. In 2018, BJP had con tested 20 and won 12 seats in the following districts: Dimapur (2/2), Zunheboto (4/2), Mokokchung (2/2), Phek (1/0), Wokha (3/2), Mon (2/1), Longleng (1/1), Kiphire (2/1), Tu ensang (2/0) and Noklak (1/1).Nationalist Demo cratic Progressive Party (NDPP) contested 40 and won 18 seats but after merg er of other party MLAs (NPP, JDU), the party tally went up to 21. The in April 2022, 21 NPF legislators also merged with it and raised the tally to 42 MLAs. The issue of seat shar ing formula in 2018 is un der contest since several of the 21 NPF legislators who merged with NDPP, had won against BJP can didates. In seats where NPF candidates won in 2018 against BJP but who are now NDPP legislators, ticket distribution could pose some Furthermore,problem.the 21 MLAs had merged with NDPP on the assurance that they will be given NDPP ticket to fight the forthcomingHowever,election.NDPP is sticking to the 40:20 ar rangement and how it does that remains to be seen. On the other hand, several candidates from both NDPP and NPF are making a bee line for BJP tickets.The sources said BJP tickets will be issued on the basis of winnability and that it is also likely some sit ting BJP legislators would be denied party tickets due to their unsatisfactory per formances.Onwhether party workers will hold any dis cussion with Nadda over such issues remains largely speculative. B.L. Santosh during his recent visit held consultations with party workers and other wellwishers to gauge the party’s prospects for the forthcom ing assembly polls. As reported, BJP sources said that the party high command could “re view” the seat/ticket allo cation and may not stick to the 2018 seat arrangement. The BJP party high command has already as sessed the political situa tion and taken note of all these issues after which a final decision will be taken at the appropriate time, sources said.

He raised the issue of the recent attack on Gujarat AAP general secretary Manoj Sorathiya and apprehended that many more attacks will take place “on the people of Gujarat for supporting AAP”. “The attack on Manoj Sorathiya shows that BJP is desperate. It is not able to understand what to do. It is staring at a defeat,” he said. Kejriwal said AAP is not like Congress and can not be intimidated by the rulingChallengingparty. the ruling BJP, he said, “You have dealt with Congress so far, but we are AAP people. We consider Sardar Patel and Bhagat Singh as our ideals”. Kejriwal said if BJP thinks it can scare AAP by orchestrating such attacks, then it is “Wewrong.arenot going to be scared. We are not cowards. We will fight hard against injustice and corruption. Six crore people of Gujarat now have an alternative (in AAP). They will respond to the 27 years of misgov ernance (of BJP),” he said. He appealed to people to not resort to violence. “I would like to tell the people that the number of attacks will increase in the coming 2-3 months not just on AAP but on the people. They will attack those peo ple who say they will vote for AAP. Those who speak against BJP will be attacked. They are going to attack people in large numbers,”the AAP leader said. He said people shouldn’t resort to violence but stay patient and express anger by pressing the (EVM) button to vote out BJP. Kejriwal, who has an nounced a string of “guar antees” in a bid to reach out to various sections of the society in Gujarat, said he had met representatives of police personnel, anganwadi and ASHA workers, health workers, traffic cops, gram raksha dal (GRD), auto drivers, and home guards among others during his multiple visits to the state. The AAP leader said he will meet every group separately in the coming days.

Rising intolerance Areport by the United Christian Forum (UCF) says that in the first 45 days of the new year till February 14, 2022 itself, 53 incidents were reported by its helpline number, according to media. In a study reported by the United Christian Forum (UCF), an ecumenical group located in New Delhi that tracks violence against Christians, at least 127 incidences of violence against Christians were documented in the first 103 days of 2022 in India. As per statistics, it indicates that in 2022 there were more than one incident each day so far. While not attempting to speculate on the reasons behind, yet the figures also prove that the number of attacks on the minority Christian community in India is a cause for concern. In 2022, the highest number of attacks against Christians occurred in Congressruled Chhattisgarh (12), Tamil Nadu (10), Madhya Pradesh (8) and Uttar Pradesh (7). Of all northern states, Punjab has fewest number of anti-Christian attacks. However there appears to be some people fomenting trouble in the otherwise communally peaceful state. Earlier, on July 19, a pastor in Lud hiana was attacked in his car. The FIR registered at a local police station booked the accused for attempt to murder and rioting while armed with deadly weap on. On August 29, there were at least two incidents of violence and intimidation reported in Punjab. In Amritsar district, Nihangs, blue-clad members of a Sikh order of warriors, disrupted a Christian prayer meeting, alleging forced conversion. The Akal Takht – the highest centre of authority in Sikhism – later demanded that the first information report on the incident be withdrawn and the arrested Nihangs be released. In Ludhiana, a pastor was forced to bow to a Hindu idol. On August 31, a group of people in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district allegedly forcefully entered a local church last night and vandalised a statue of Jesus and Mary. They also set fire to the pastor’s car. Visuals from the spot show the car engulfed in flames and a broken statue inside the church. In many states, such as Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, stringent anti-conversion laws have been used to target Christian communities. Despite India being a secular democratic country where fundamental rights of every citizen is guar anteed under Article 25-28, communal violence continue unabated. In particular, Christians have been targeted solely on the allegation of forced conversions to justify such incidents, although the census data indicates no massive conversions have happened over the years and the population of the 2.3 % Christians in India has not seen any significant rise which proves that mass conversions has been a bogey. Punjab does not have such a law, although there is growing pressure from sections of the Sikh clergy and from Hindutva groups for one. Sikhs have a reputation of being most tolerant and respectful to all other religious communities. The recent at tacks on Christians in Punjab are the handiworks of certain elements hell bent on creating disharmony for vested interests. It is also encouraging that all political parties in Punjab, the ruling AAP, opposition Congress, BJP and Akali Dal have condemned the incidents and demanded strict action. As for forced or fraudulent conversion, an impartial probe should be conducted to ascertain facts in the interest of justice.
Pouring Out the Water of Satisfaction
The contribution of agricultural engineering
DailyDevotion
Post-mortem OPINION/EDITORIAL6 Nagaland Post VOL. XXXII NO. 270 DIMAPUR, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2022 NAGALAND POST, DIMAPUR SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2022
A griculture is a unique biological field, de spite the concept of the discipline being changed by engineering. “The farm ing, cultivation, and animal breeding of lands” is the definition of agriculture. A definition of engineering is “the design and production of equipment and machin ery for the convenience of people.” The scientific disci pline of combine agricultural engineering creates, designs, improves, and constructs machinery and equipment for the benefit of agricultural workers. Future farming will be easier thanks to a new device developed by an agri cultural engineer employing cutting-edge scientific meth ods. Agricultural engineers help the agricultural industry flourish by developing and discovering useful instru ments. The practise of ap plying engineering concepts to any procedure involved in the production of items with an agricultural basis and the management of our natural resources is known as agricultural engineering. The field focuses on the creation of labor-saving agricultural equipment, farm structures, irrigation and drainage systems, and meth ods for preserving and pro cessing agricultural output into useable feed and fibre products. Thus, it is clear that agricultural engineering is not the same as tractor ization, despite what many people mistakenly believe. Because the first engineer ing intervention heavily involved the use of tractors to reduce drudgery for a very long time, people have long believed that agricultural engineering is synonymous with Agriculturaltractorization.engineers need a wide range of knowl edge and abilities to work efficiently in the diverse agricultural and agribusiness sectors. The agricultural engineer contributes to eco logically friendly, environ mentally safe farming. They evaluate new technology and procedures for farming in order to boost yields, optimise land use, and save resources like fuel, water, fertiliser, pesticides, and seed. The engineer makes recommendations for mea sures to safeguard the well being, safety, and security of agricultural goods, workers, and animals. Better methods are developed by agricultural engineers to minimise crop loss due to field damage during handling, sorting, packaging, and processing. Food and fibre storage is a significant sector of the agriculture economy. The agricultural engineer is re sponsible for organising the post-harvest heating, cool ing, and ventilation systems. Agricultural engineers create techniques and machinery for clearing land, planting crops, and harvesting. They provide automation, ac curacy, and “intelligence” through smart technologies to both new and old equip ment.

4. Improvement of the quality of life for the farmer: Farm buildings, good farm roads, and other amenities are made possible by agricultural engineering. Options in Agricul tural Engineering A wide range of spe cialty fields are included in agricultural engineering. Specialty fields change and are established when new problems, technologies, and information are discovered; many of these areas overlap with one or more others. Areas of specialization of Agricultural Engineering include:1.
NE states must develop united character muscles for overcoming challenges and adversities Unmasking the fake face of secularism by masked men
Buddha
What has been like “water from the well of Bethle hem” to you recently— love, friendship, or maybe some spiritual blessing (2 Samuel 23:16)? Have you taken whatever it may be, even at the risk of damaging your own soul, simply to satisfy yourself? If you have, then you cannot pour it out “to the Lord.” You can never set apart for God something that you desire for yourself to achieve your own satisfaction. If you try to satisfy your self with a blessing from God, it will corrupt you. You must sacrifice it, pouring it out to God— something that your common sense says is an absurd waste. How can I pour out “to the Lord” natural love and spiritual blessings? There is only one way— I must make a determination in my mind to do so. There are certain things other people do that could never be received by someone who does not know God, because it is humanly impossible to repay them. As soon as I realize that some thing is too wonderful for me, that I am not worthy to receive it, and that it is not meant for a human being at all, I must pour it out “to the Lord.” Then these very things that have come to me will be poured out as “rivers of living water” all around me (John 7:38). And until I pour these things out to God, they actually endanger those I love, as well as myself, because they will be turned into lust. Yes, we can be lustful in things that are not sordid and vile. Even love must be transformed by being poured out “to the Lord.” If you have become bitter and sour, it is because when God gave you a blessing you hoarded it. Yet if you had poured it out to Him, you would have been the sweetest person on earth. If you are always keeping blessings to yourself and never learning to pour out any thing “to the Lord,” other people will never have their vision of God expanded through you.
3. Land and Water Resources Engineering: What happens to water af ter it hits the ground? This element relates to irrigation design and management, drainage, and erosion con trol, as well as the recom mendation of excellent soil and water conservation mea sures. Utilizing this knowl edge, it is possible to increase crop productivity, preserve soil, prevent erosion, and safeguard water quality.
4. Agricultural Pro cessing and Food Engineer ing: Over 40% of the out put of different agricultural crops is squandered each year during storage and pro cessing because the experts in crop processing and stor age are not employed in the agro-industries. Therefore, the emphasis of this choice is on the design, construc tion, and maintenance of crop processing and storage equipment and systems. This specialty focuses on the processes and tools required to convert agricultural prod ucts into food. Agricultural engineering is currently go ing through important and major changes as a result of the global economic shocks. These adjustments are due to some new technologies. Some of these emerging technologies include in formation technology, bio technology, environmental engineering, and renewable energy.
Conclusion The practise of apply ing engineering concepts to any procedure involved in the production of items with an agricultural basis and the management of our natural resources is known as agricultural engineering. There is more to agricultural engineering than merely tractorization. The field of agricultural engineering was developed from other engineering specialties. Ag ricultural engineering seeks to accomplish a wide range of goals and has made a significant contribution to national economic growth in the areas of food production, employment opportunities, industrial development, sus tainable agriculture, farmer quality of life, environmen tal management, natural resource conservation, rural infrastructural development, reduction of drudgery in agricultural work, food se curity,Agriculturaletc. engineer ing is the cornerstone of agricultural progress, and its neglect could jeopardise a nation’s long-term viability. Most of the nations that have recently called out for aid are those where the ag ricultural system has failed either because of a drought, an insect invasion, or a lack of agricultural input. Inter estingly, given the resources and difficulties, agricultural engineering as a profession could have prevented the majority of these issues. The occupation has excel lent potential to address the majority of issues affecting agriculture, particularly in emerging nations.
T o play effective role in North East politics, one need to study the genesis chapter in depth and need to understand the intricacies of the region politically or otherwise. Undivided Assam was ruled by various dynasties-the Pala, Koch, Kachari, and Chutiya and there was constant warfare among the princes until the coming of Ahom people in the 13th century. Till 1714 Ahom kings ruled the entire Assam before the Ahom kingdom was occupied by warriors from Myanmar in the late 18th century. The Britishers came in and ultimately drove out the invaders, and, Treaty of Yandabo was signed with Myanmar in 1826. That’s how Assam became a part of British India. With the par tition and independent of India in 1947 Assam became a constituent state of India in 1950. Between the early 1960s and the early 1970s Assam lost much of its territory to new states those emerged from within its borders. In 1963 Nagaland become the 16th state of India under the name of Nagaland with a political agreement under the protection of Article 371-A. In 1972 Meghalaya was given statehood. Also in 1972 Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram were separated from Assam as union territories; both became fullyfleged states in 1986. Princely states Tripura and Manipur were merged with India in October 1949, and On 21st January, 1972 the state of Manipur and Tripura also became full-fledged states under the North Eastern Region (ReOrganization) Act, 1971. Likewise, Sikkim became a fully-fledged 22nd state of India in 1975 under the protection of Article 371-(F) of the constitution of India. North East India, consists of eight states, as we all know today, is very different from what it was some centuries ago. The entire NER was not part of India politically and not even administratively, till the Britishers unified it with the rest of India sometime in the beginning of the 18Aftercentury.having excruciating ex perience dealing with the people of the region, based on political and administrative convenience, the region was divided to eight political units-Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur and Sikkim. Unlike the formation of states in so called mainland India on lin guistic basis, these states in NER were formed on the basis of ethnic and tribal boundaries. Therefore the formula of the creation of these eight states is on ethnic and cul tural differences. Nevertheless, on the basis of some common shared problems, nature of its geographi cal isolation.Itisalso due to a particular unique geo-political strategy in the Indian polity that for all practical purposes the NER is looked upon as a single unit. These eight states as one unit is the Eastern-most region connected to mainland India via a narrow corridor squeezed between Nepal and Bangladesh, which is popularly known as Chicken’s Neck. It is pertinent to mention that no where does India’s complex issues exists as serious as it exists in the northeast India, where the politics of identity and self-determination led to internal and external security challenges.Forsometime, situation had been looking somewhat peaceful in the recent time since signing of the Mizo Accord, Bodoland Ac cord, Accord with Karbi Armed groups and Nagas peace accord between GOI, NSCN I.M and NNPGs. Nonetheless, it seems the much hyped signing of Naga Peace Accord between Narendra Modi government and various Naga insurgent groups have hit a road block due to growing trust deficit between government of India and the Naga insurgent groups. More so, when seat sharing formula an nounced, forgetting the last famous election slogan, “ELECTION FOR SOLUTION” which have hurt the sentiments of the enthusiastic Nagas waiting for final settlement of the final Naga Accord. If the talks fail after waiting with such a high enthusiasm, the consequences could be highly unsavory. Of late, looking at the growing unrest between Assam with the neighboring states in the region. It’s evidently clear that the biggest blunder committed by the Britishers, and the then successive governments at the Centre for not properly demarcating the state boundaries between Assam and the neighboring states. As a result the alarming rise in the aggressive and violent behavior of Assam towards all her neighbor ing states in the most volatile North East India, the situation is getting deteriorated day by day and ag grieved youths are in no mood to watch the situation as mute bystand ers and no one can predict what’s there in Therestore.are numerous instances where peace loving tribal people from the neighboring states residing in the common border areas lost lives and properties due to unprec edented aggression from Assam side. The situation has so much worsened in almost all the border areas, the grave fear of succumbing to one’s aggressive impulses, violent urges and starting civil unrest is clearlyParticulvisible.arly in Assam-Naga land, Assam-Mizoram, AssamMeghalaya and Assam-Arunachal border areas. For many decades, tribal people from across all these states are tolerating to coersive Dadagiri attitude of Assam, and all these ill treatment committed against every innocent commuters across Assam border areas hap pening under the nose of various centralIt’sagencies.evidently clear that Assam superior political influence at the Centre and privileged placement in various central government establishments is systematically abused to. Harass the people from the neighboring states and intended to destroy lives, properties and caus ing injury to the neighboring states with their much improvised fighting forces fully supported by New Delhi on variousAggrievedpretext.people will defi nitely try to find the root causes of such aggressive hostility and why such violent behaviors are on the rise lately.Inthe given situation, sharing the same Governor with Assam is not at all acceptable. Nagaland need to have separate Constitutional head of the state at the earliest. Every Naga leaders must un derstand the Role and power of the governor as per Article 154 of the IndianCentralconstitution.government must im mediately review the policy for maintaining maximum harmony and coordination with all the ag grieved NER states and also review the deployment of central neutral forces policy in the disputed border areas. As of today, so called neutral forces functions under the com mand of an officer who takes order from Assam police Head Office. Keeping in view of the stated reasons, It is evidently clear that Assam always stands as the most fa vored choice of New Delhi in terms of socio-economic upliftment and other Developmental programmes, irrespective of whichever political party is at the helm of affairs in New Delhi.

He would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord. —2 Samuel 23:16
“For my government, the Constitution is its real holy book. And, in that holy book, freedom of faith, speech and franchise, and equality of all citi zens, regardless of background, are enshrined as fundamental rights” (Economic Times, 8 June Unless2016). the good speech is translated into action in a time such as this, the future of the nation is bleak. A nation cannot be called developing nation/developed nation unless the fear which inhabits in the minds of the people are dealt with. False accusations one after the other will disintegrate the nation. “Force conversion” has no constitutional defini tion, it is only used as a shield for perpetrators and those who are trying to create animosity among the people. Religion be it Christianity, Islam or others lie within the ambit of “freedom of religion.” Religious buildings used for worship is not only considered as sacred but is an integral part of the community spiritual experience. The Nagaland Joint Chris tian Forum urges upon the government of Punjab under the leadership of the Chief Minister to do all that they can and bring the perpetrators and be dealt with sternly according to the law of the land. Vandal izing of sacred worship places must be put to an end once and for all. What happened in Tarn Taran district in Punjab is most unfortunate. The authority should not leave the matter at the “sympathy” level but most investigate and good down to the bottom and expose the link because what happened in Punjab is not an isolated case. There is an under current move ment to destroy the secular spirit in the country. Only when the authority takes what has happen seriously as a threat to the nation then, confidence and insecurity feelings of the minorities will be restored and the nation will move forward. We call upon people of different religious traditions and faith in India to live in peace. Violence will beget violence; it is only love that will give birth to peace and harmony.

Dr. Laishram Kanta Singh SMS (SWCE/Agric. Engg) ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra Imphal West ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Manipur Centre W hat has gone wrong with our big nation? Why has my faith and my worship place become the target of the religious fanatics? Why has the nation become so intolerant to people of other faith? India has always taken pride in her size as the world most populous democracy in the world. However, unfortunately, this is turning out to be a threat to the religious minorities in the big nation. The uncontrolled element fuelled by certain reli gious fanatics in the country has emboldened certain scrupulous groups to create restless and un safe situations across the nation. The recent vandalization of a church in Punjab has once again raised an alarm that Christians are never secure in the hands of the majority. We do not need to speculate that there is a force behind all these acts in the na tion. We appreciate the Chief Minister of Punjab for reassur ing the people by proclaiming that a probe has been initiated into the “highly condemnable” incident. From far, the Nagaland Joint Christian Forum demands justice be delivered and restore peace of mind and assurance to the Christian community and other minority groups that we matter to the nation as much as theNevertheless,majority. until the people who are in power at the centre take a drastic step and action it will be labelled as “conspiracy.” We are not new to this kind of situation. Minor ity groups have gone through untold miseries time and again leading them to lose their faith and trust in the system to pro tect them.Hate crimes in the country against religious minorities are always a labelled as false re port and a conspiracy and the authority usually explain their way out. Thus far, we have not heard of befitting penalization of the guilty. The perpetrators hide under the forearms of the big brothers who run the show. Life has become miserable and intolerable in recent past. The sweet talks are failing to cover up the acts of those who are instigating things from behind. It is now time to put the speech of Prime Minister, Nar endra Modi to the US congress in 2016 into action.

NEW D ELHI, SEP 3 (PTI): The Congress will launch an all-out attack on the BJP government over price rise, unemployment and the GST hike on essen tial items with a big show of strength at Delhi’s Ramlila maidan on FormerSunday.Congress presi dent Rahul Gandhi and a host of party leaders would address the “Mehngai par halla bol” rally. Party work ers from Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, besides other parts of the country, would participate in it. The rally comes ahead of the opposition party’s 3,500-km “Bharat Jodo Yatra” from Kanyakumari to Kashmir starting Septem ber 7, where Rahul Gandhi will walk across the country highlighting the issues of price rice and unemploy ment, and promoting com over price rise and unem ployment and saying that these are issues of the com mon people and should be discussed at all forums. The opposition party is also seeking a solution to the problems of price rise, inflation and unemploy ment, besides the hike in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on essential items, and want efforts on the part of the establishment to help provide respite to people. On Sunday, former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad is also scheduled to address his first public ral ly after quitting the party at the Sainik farms in Jammu. Azad, who was critical of the Congress leadership in his resignation letter, may step up his attack further on Sunday. The Congress has, however, termed the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister’s public utterances against its leadership as “diversionary tactics” initi ated at the behest of the rul ing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The pressure of popu lation is increasing in the neighbouring districts as well and there are com plaints of unplanned devel opment at times. Keeping in view the needs of the future, Uttar Pradesh State Capital Region should be formed on the lines of National Capital Region (NCR), he said. Adityanath asked officials to prepare a proposal in this regard and Lucknow and its surrounding districts like Unnao, Sitapur, Rae Bareli, Barabanki, Kanpur Nagar and Kanpur Dehat could be included in the SCR. After deliberating on all aspects, a detailed action plan should be submitted as soon as possible, the chief minister said.

JAIPUR, SEP 2 (PTI): Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday said after the report of the National Crime Records Bu reau (NCRB) was released, efforts are being made to defame the state. He said it would be appropriate to compare the figures of 2019 and 2021 as there was a lockdown in 2020. Gehlot said despite the policy of compulsory regis tration of FIRs in Rajasthan, the number of incidents of crime registered in 2021 was about 5 per cent less than that of 2019, while 17 states and Union territories, including MP, Haryana, Gujarat and Uttarakhand, registered more crimes. In a statement, he said Gujarat registered an in crease of about 69 per cent in incidents of crime, Hary ana recorded a 24-per cent hike and Madhya Pradesh a 20-per cent increase. “UP is ahead in the country in murder cases, crime against women and kidnapping. Gu jarat has the highest number of custodial deaths. In the case of rape of minors under the POCSO Act, MP ranks first in the country while Ra jasthan is at the 12th place,” the chief minister said. He said it is the result of the compulsory FIR reg istration policy that in 201718, 33 per cent FIRs were registered through courts under section 156(3) of the CrPC but now, this has come down to 13 per cent. Gehlot said as a result of the steps taken by the state govern ment, the time taken in the investigation of rape cases has come down to 68 days from 274 days in 2017-18. The average time taken in the investigation of a POCSO case was 232 days in 2018. It has now come down to 66 days, he pointed out. “In Rajasthan, effec tive action is being taken by the police against every crime and the government completely stands with the victims,” he Gehlotsaid.said in 2015, about 51 per cent cases un der the SC-ST Act were reg istered through courts under section 156(3) of the CrPC and now, it has come down to about 10 per cent. “It is a matter of con cern that some people have misused the government’s policy of compulsory regis tration of FIRs and got false FIRs registered.

Gross domestic prod uct (GDP) growth of 13.5 per cent year-on-year com pares to a 20.1 per cent expansion a year back and 4.09 per cent growth in the previous three months to March, according to official data released earlier this week. The growth, though lower than the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) esti mate of 16.2 per cent, was fuelled by consumption and signalled a revival of do mestic demand, particularly in the services sector. Pent-up demand is driving consumption as consumers, after two years of pandemic restrictions, are stepping out and spend ing.

Also, imports being higher than exports is a matter of Additionally,concern. an un even monsoon is likely to weigh upon agriculture growth and rural demand. The GDP print will, however, allow the RBI to focus on controlling in flation, which has stayed above the comfort zone of 6 per cent for seven straight months.The central bank has raised the benchmark policy rate by 140 basis points in three installments since May and has vowed to do more to bring inflation un der control.Besides tighter mon etary conditions, Asia’s third-largest economy faces headwinds from higher en ergy and commodity prices that are likely to weigh on consumer demand and companies’ investment plans. Also, consumer spending, which accounts for nearly 55 per cent of economic activity, has been hit hard by soaring food and fuel prices.TheGDP growth in the first quarter of the cur rent fiscal was higher than China’s 0.4 per cent expan sion in April-June.

JOHANNESBURG, SEP 3 (PTI): A huge wall mu ral of images of Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Ahmed Kathrada and a host of other South African leaders, both deceased and still alive, has been unveiled at the Aryan Benevolent Home in the sprawling mainly Indian township of CelebratedChatsworth.Indian-or igin artist Nanda Soobben spent more than a month painting the mural after the violence in South Africa last year as an exercise to show the solidarity between dif ferent communities in South Africa which brought about the democratic order in 1994 after decades of whiteminority apartheid rule. “The aim of the paint ing (unveiled on Friday) is to bring about peace and a non-racial society follow ing the unrest, without the allegations spread on social media that inflamed such violence. It is to bring about social cohesion and show that different races in South Africa made great sacrifices to free our country of apart heid,” Soobben said. “Besides being peace murals, I also wanted them to be history lessons on a wall. Hopefully, the images will encourage those who see them to go and read up more on these great leaders of our past and present,”
Soobben said of the mural at the Aryan Benevolent Home (ABH), a non-profit organisation, in Durban’s Chatsworth. He recalled how a mural he had painted in New York almost three decades ago had spurred him to do something similar in SouthSoobbenAfrica. had to go abroad to further his career as an artist and cartoonist before he returned to South Africa to start the Centre for Fine Art Animation and Design in 1994 after Nelson Mandela became the presi dent. He had a number of challenges earlier with the regime due to his outspoken but widely appreciated antiapartheid cartoons in lead ing newspapers.TheCentre has assisted scores of previously disad vantaged young artists in developing their passion for a range of skills, from design to animation, using the lat est technology.Soobbensaid he chose the ABH for the first mural because of the excellent work that it does in look ing after orphaned children and the aged. The late Dr Sishupal Rambaros, who founded the ABH with oth ers 101 years ago, was him self an orphan cared for at the fledgling institution and spent his entire life there. He is one of the people featured on the mural.

Former US Attorney General William Barr, who was appointed by Trump, questioned the usefulness of such an appointment. “I think at this stage, since they’ve (FBI) already gone through the docu ments I think it’s a waste of time” to have a special mas ter, Barr said in an interview on FoxBarr,News.who left the post in late December 2020, de fied Trump by not backing his false claims that the presidential election that year had been stolen from him. In the interview, Barr added that he saw no “le gitimate reason” for Trump having documents at his Florida estate if they were classified.One of the records, released on Friday, provides a little more detail about the 33 boxes and other items the FBI found inside Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, as part of its ongoing criminal in vestigation into whether he illegally retained national defense information and tried to obstruct the probe. It shows that docu ments with classification markings were at times comingled with other items such as books, magazines and newspaper clippings. Also found were un specified gifts and clothing items.Of the more than 11,000 government records and photos, 18 were labeled as “top secret,” 54 were la beled “secret” and 31 were labeled “confidential,” ac cording to a Reuters tally of the government’s inventory. “Top secret” is the highest classification level, reserved for the country’s most closely held secrets. There were also 90 empty folders, 48 of which were marked “classified,” while others indicated that they should be returned to staff secretary/military aide.

A new study looked at eating avocados and the potential to improve metabolic factors. Researchers found people who ate one avo cado a day had slightly lower cholesterol levels than the control group. Other measures, in cluding body weight, BMI and insulin levels, were not significantly different between the two groups. New research pub lished in the Journal of the American Heart As sociation looked at whether or not eating one avocado per day could impact these levels. Researchers found a small but noticeable re duction in key cholesterol levels.“While one avocado a day did not lead to clini cally significant improve ments in abdominal fat and other cardiometabolic risk factors, consuming one avocado a day did not result in body weight gain,” study author Joan Sabate, MD, professor at Loma Linda University School of Public Health, said in a statement. Study included over 1,000 participants Called the Habitual Diet and Avocado Trial (HAT), the study was de signed to test whether con suming one large avocado per day for 6 months in a diverse group of about 1,000 people with an el evated waist circumference would decrease belly fat compared with those who ate their habitual diet.

He pointed out that the key to maintaining heart health comes down to focusing on fundamentals that include: A healthy diet; Regular cardiovas cular exercise; Avoiding smoking and significant alcohol“Theintake.study showed that simply adding one large avocado a day to your diet for six months does not make a significant difference in reducing your total body fat levels and had minimal impact on total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels,” said Chan.“This was essentially a negative study.” Chan recommended a diet rich in vegetables and fruits to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. This includes legumes such as lentils, lima beans, chickpeas, soybeans, kid ney beans, and whole grains like oatmeal, buck wheat, and barley. Chan said lean protein like fish with high omega-3 fatty acids could also help. “Avoid red meat, shellfish, whole milk prod ucts and limiting saturated, and trans fats would be ”rudent,” he cautioned. Experts say statins can be critical to reduce cholesterol Joshua Yamamoto, MD, a cardiology specialist in Washington, D.C., and co-author of “You Can Prevent a Stroke,” said high cholesterol levels are best managed with statins. “This is really just genetic, and all you have to do is stop being stub born and take statin,” said Yamamoto.“Allthis concentra tion on diet when the body runs on pure biology and genetics – vascular dis ease is genetics and aging, and statins solve both,” Dr. Kristin Thom, Yama moto’s partner at Foxhall Medicine.

DUBAI, SEP 3 (PTI): The famed top-order would be desperate for a course cor rection while the bowling attack could be rejigged as India aim for a ‘Sunday En core’ against Pakistan in an Asia Cup ‘Super 4s’ clash. If top-order’s Power play philosophy is a prob lem, the inexperience of Avesh Khan at the death is no less a worry as the team management may need to revamp the bowling attack against a strong Pakistan side which is coming into the game after demolishing Hong Kong by more than 150 runs.With no Ravindra Jadeja available in this game, Axar Patel seems a straightaway replacement but the team combina tion does take a hit in the absence of Saurashtra allrounder. In the last game against Pakistan, head coach Rahul Dravid pro moted Jadeja to number four to keep the left-right combination going in the top six as Rishabh Pant was dropped from the play ing XI.It remains to be seen if skipper Rohit Sharma and Dravid will take the gamble again on Sunday. But it won’t be an exag geration to say that when it comes to requirement of having a pure left-hand bat ter in top six, only the man from Roorkee can provide the solution.LastSunday, it was Hardik Pandya’s oneman show that got India over the line in a thrilling last-over finish and Rohit would expect that intensity is maintained in this game too. However, the Indian team despite being a mine field of talent does have a soft underbelly and the top-order’s cautious ap proach in the Powerplay overs is one of them. Nei ther Virat Kohli nor Rohit looked comfortable against Pakistani attack and as the pitch got slower their problems seemed to have compounded.
TOWNSVILLE, SEP 3 (IANS): Zimbabwe scored a historic three-wicket victory against the Aaron Finch-led Australia, with leg-spinner Ryan Burl grabbing five wickets for just 10 runs as he brought the hosts to their knees in the third and final One-day International here on Saturday.Though Australia clinched the series 2-1, it was the manner in which the hosts capitulated which stood out, with nine of their batters scoring in single digit. Opener David War ner, with his patient 96-ball 94, helped the hosts to 141 before they were bundled out in 31 overs. In reply, Zimbabwe notched up the required runs for the loss of seven wickets in 39 overs to record a memorable win. Australia had a forget table start with the bat, as they were reduced to 72/5 after only 18 overs. Put in to bat first, Zimbabwe made full use of the conditions on offer here. Richard Ngarava and Victor Nyauchi sent Finch and Steve Smith pack ing for 5 and 1 respectively.

Glenn Maxwell (19) and Ashton Agar (0) were his first two victims. Warner finally ran out of patience, as Burl accounted for his wicket after a workmanlike 94. Burl then dismissed the remainder of the tail including Mitchell Starc (2) and Josh Hazlewood (0) as Australia were bowled out for 141.

But after Kaitano was dismissed on 19 by Hazlewood, the visi tors would have to endure some jitters. Hazlewood then sent Wessly Madhe vere (2) and Sean Williams packing on back-to-back deliveries to further increase the tension in the Zimbabwe camp.Sikandar Raza (8) also could not contribute much and Marumani’s dismissal for 35 by Green had the visitors reeling at 77/5. A vital stand of 38 between skipper Regis Chakabva and Tony Munyonga then calmed some nerves. The duo batted patiently, taking their time, while not taking unnecessary risks.

Serena retires from Tennis define success in her sport. Another 50 singles titles elsewhere.The14 majors in dou bles with her sister, Venus. The 319 weeks at No. 1.

Obviously, that’s an understatement,” said Martina Navratilova, an 18-time major winner who certainly is part of that wholeButconversation.Williamsis also about a lot more than that.

Over the more than two de cades since, Williams and Venus, who earned seven major singles trophies of her own, get credit for inspiring Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka and count less of others to play tennis, yes, but also for pushing plenty of others to change their views about what can be done and what can’t. “She embodies that no dream is too big,” Tom ljanovic said. “You can do anything if you believe in yourself, you love what you do and you have an incredible support system around you.”

SHARJAH, SEP 3 (PTI): Sri Lankan batters showed enormous tactical acu men in yet another tricky run-chase as they defeated Afghanistan by four wick ets in the opening Super 4 game of the Asia Cup here on Saturday.Itwasfantastic bowl ing effort at the death that saw Sri Lanka restrict the Afghans to 175 for 6 with only 37 runs coming in the last five overs despite a brilliant 84 off 45 balls by Rahamanullah Gurbaz. In reply, Sri Lanka chased down the target in 19.1 overs with several small but impactful con tributions that sealed the issue for them. This was the highest run-chase in a T20I at Sharjah.Justlike great bow ing at the death, the overs between 15-18 yielded 51 runs for the Lankans and that proved to be a gamechanger.Kusal Mendis (36 off 19 balls) started from where he had left against Bangladesh the other day as he launched into oppo sition’s best bowler Rashid Khan, depositing him for two successive sixes as 17 r uns came in that over inside the Powerplay. His opening partner Pathum Nissanka (35 off 28 balls) also gave solid support as 62 were added for the open ing stand.However, it was Danuska Gunathilaka (33 off 20 balls) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa (31 off 14 balls), whose 32 runs stand of just 2.3 overs changed the com plexion of the game. Their daredevilry had enormous impact in the final outcome of the game as they hit sixes and found the gaps with ease. The Af ghan bowlers, who are not always used to handling pressure situations, did fal ter in the end and Rashid’s poor day (1/39 in 4 overs) at the office did have its effect.Put into bat young opener Rahmanullah Gur baz gave a brilliant ex hibition of his dashing strokeplay as his innings was the cornerstone of Afghanistan’s competitive total of 175 for 6. However, Afghanistan will be a bit disappointed as the last five overs yield ed only 37 runs and lost five wickets in a jiffy with Gurbaz’s dismissal putting some sort of a brake on the run flow. Gurbaz, the 20-year-old right-hander, who was a part of IPL champion team Gujarat Titans, smashed half a dozen sixes and added 93 in just 10.4 overs with Ibrahim Zadran (40) to take Afghanistan to a more than respectable total at the Sharjah Cricket ground. Zadran though got a few lusty blows and so did Rashid Khan (9) towards the fag end of the Afghani stan innings to take the score close to 180. While spinners Theek shana (1/29) and Hasaran ga (0/23 in 4 overs) gave away only 52 in their eight overs, it was skipper Dasun Shanaka (0/22 in 2 overs) and Karunaratne (0/29 in 2 overs), who leaked 51 runs in four overs for the “fifth bowler’s quota”.

“If they (his oppo nents) were so confident of victory, why a power ful union minister had to come at the hotel (where the voters were staying) at 9pm (on Thursday) and stay there till 2am in the morning of election day (on Friday) and take all of them to a particular floor of the hotel?,” he said. Though Bhutia did not take the name of the union minister, his propos er in the polls and Rajast han state association presi dent Manvendra Singh had on Friday alleged that law minister Kiren Rijiju was present at the hotel and told the members to vote against the former India captain. Bhutia, one of the legends of the game in the country, said he did not understand why a central minister would spend so much time with the voters the night before the AIFF elections, though he did not accuse Rijiju of can vassing against him. “Out of the 34 mem bers of the electoral col lege, 33 (except Gopal akrishna Kosaraju) were taken to a floor of the hotel and access was denied to the whole floor. I could not contact any of the voters, the network was down. “I tried calling the secretary of Rajasthan as sociation, who is a voter and whose president (Man vendra Singh) was my sec onder, but I could not reach him on “Thephone.political interfer ence was a shocking thing to me and it was very un fortunate and a sad thing for IndianAndhrafootball.”Pradesh state association president Kosaraju had seconded Bhutia.
