Govt. to implement 33% reservation Zeliang says civic body polls will be announced soon

Correspondent

KOHIMA, AUG 11 (NPN): In a major relief to the Naga Mothers Association (NMA), who had been pressing hard for the state government to implement 33% women reservation in the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) polls, Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang on Thursday announced the decision of the Cabinet to go ahead with the elections to the Urban Local Bodies/Town Councils under Nagaland Municipal Act, 2001 by granting 33 per cent women reservation.

Addressing the state level watershed conference organized by Land Resources department at NBCC convention hall, Zeliang informed the gathering that the decision to this effect was taken during a Cabinet meeting held on August 10. Zeliang said that the government would soon notify on the dates to conduct the election.

Pointing out that while the apex tribal organisations in the state were against women reservation, the state cabinet after thorough deliberation, decided that elections would

be conducted to the ULBs with 33 per cent women reservation.

He said “we should allow the women-folks to participate in the municipal councils and see the outcome of their participation and if things go well, the reservation may be increased.”

Zeliang said NMA’s Joint Action Committee on Women Reservation was fighting in the Supreme Court for 33 per cent women reservation, which has also led to withholding of the elections to the ULBs. Meanwhile, a CMO media cell press communiqué also stated that the Cabinet decided to strengthen the Municipal Cadre in the state. The cabinet in this regard has asked the department to work out their minimum manpower requirements and send fresh proposal after following the laid down procedures. It was

also decided that there was no need for a separate Municipal Commissionerate in the state and directed that the matter be taken up for review before the Guwahati High Court through the Advocate General.

CMO media cell said that the Cabinet also took a serious view of the assurance made by the Department of Municipal Affairs through its Counsel before the Guwahati High Court in PIL 71/2015 without the approval of the Government. the government has directed that an inquiry be held to identify the officer(s) responsible for the lapse for further appropriate action, it stated.

The Cabinet further approved the proposal of the Department of Municipal Affairs for setting up of nine Town Councils for Bhandari, Chozuba, East Dimapur, Longkhim,

Mangkolemba, Pungro, Tening, Tizit and Tobu towns and setting up of five Urban Station Committees for Athibung, Chessore, Chuchuyimlang, Tsudikong and Yisemyong towns in Nagaland. It also approved the creation of six new Sub-District Industries Centres at Atoizu, Mangkolemba, Meluri, Noklak, Tizit and Tuli by redeploying the existing staff under the department of Industries and Commerce.

It may be mentioned that the Supreme Court, in a landmark judgment, on April 5 ‘revived’ the 2011 ruling of the single bench Guahati High Court of Kohima which had ruled in favour of Joint Action Committee on Women Reservation and directed state government to hold elections to local bodies with implementation of 33% reservation.

Nagaland needs to be self-sufficient: Zeliang Correspondent

KOHIMA, AUG 11 (NPN): Expressing serious concern over out-flow of money from the state, Nagaland chief minister T.R Zeliang stressed on the need for Nagaland to become self-sufficient by the next decade. “In less than 15 years from now on state must become self-sufficient by producing all kinds of crops from within the state and should stop the outflow of money to outside state,” he said this while addressing the state level watershed conference in culmination with Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) Batch-1 at NBCC convention hall organized by the department of Land Resources on Thursday.

Once this is done, Zeliang said he was optimistic that the state economy would boost. He pointed further out that nearly Rs 200 crore on meat alone was going outside state. This must also be stopped, he said, encouraging people to take up piggery to achieve meat production by 2025.

IWMP implemented state in the country in 2015, Zeliang lauded the department for taking up things with a focused approach and implementing the various programmes successfully by bringing about many positive changes for the people.

Zeliang said watershed development programme has a critical role to play in ensuring conservation and utilization of natural endowments for increasing agricultural productivity and enhancing peoples’ livelihood. For this, he urged the farmers and IWMP officials to exchange ideas and views and work together keeping in mind the fast growing technology.

Stressing on the importance of the “Year of Construction Workers” 2016, Zeliang lamented that there were hardly any Naga construction workers or carpenters. He said Dimapur district alone spends Rs. 2000 to 3000 crores in construction, and the money goes to people from outside the state. Zeliang said “vision alone will not work, thereby the youths need to be trained through the skill development training department in the state and likewise youth must be prepared

to take up any profession”.

He also informed that by this month (August) the ‘Vision 2030’ document would be released and the main focus would be self-sufficiency. Like the “white revolution” in Haryana, Zeliang said “if all the citizens in every district take firm decision and work together by making “people’s movement” then Nagaland will also prosper like any other states”.

He further cautioned that random creation of new villages for want of schemes and projects will not help to improve state’s economy.

For cultivation, Zeliang urged the department to identify areas as to what crops would be best suitable and accordingly help the farmers in order to bring in changes and improvement.

In order to achieve all this peace was a requisite, he said. Though government of India is serious about ushering in a lasting solution, Zeliang however said “it was time to question ourselves where we are standing and without solution what would be the future of our coming generation”.

Measles outbreak under control in Naga areas K A L AY ( S A G A I N G ) , AUG 11 (AGENCIES): An outbreak of measles which scourged some remote villages in far northwestern Myanmar’s Naga Self-Administrative Zone (SAZ) is now finally under control, according to the Naga SAZ authorities. According to Myitmakha News Agency report, the specialists from the Public Health Department (PHD) of Nay Pyi Taw and Sagaing Region hospitals are reportedly administering vaccinations and providing medical treatment for locals in areas where the disease broke out.

“The disease is now under control as specialists from the capital have come and given treatment. They’ve identified the previously mysterious disease as measles and it has since stopped spreading,” said U Kay Sai, chair of the Naga SAZ. The symptoms of measles reportedly start with a sore throat, increasing to a fever, then red spots that cover the whole body, before sufferers vomit blood. The disease can then prove fatal if not treated.

A medical team led by Dr Aung Kyaw Moe, assistant director of the PHD of Naypyitaw, reportedly worked together with four doctors from Sagaing Region in providing the aforementioned medical treatment within villages in the Naga SAZ which saw the outbreak of measles.

NSF protest rally for repeal of AFSPA

Participants attend public address programme at Local Ground Kohima on Thursday. (Inset from L-R) Abeiu Meru, Subenthung Kithan, Mutsikhoyo Yhobu, Neingulo Krome. (NP) Correspondent

KOHIMA, AUG 11 (NPN): To express strong resentment against the imposition of Armed Forces Special Power Act (APSPA), the Naga students’ Federation (NSF), the apex Naga student body, organized mass protest rally in the streets of state capital and later converged at Kohima local ground for public address on Thursday. The protest rally was also simultaneously conducted in all the district headquarters of Nagaland and four Naga district headquarters in Manipur including Senapati, Tamenglong, Ukhrul and Chandel.

After public address programme in Kohima, a memorandum was submitted to Prime Minister of India through the Governor of Nagaland and also to Chief Minister of Nagaland. The memorandum was jointly signed by mass-based Naga organizations like NSF, Naga Hoho, Naga Mothers’ Association and Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR).

NSF president Subenthung Kithan told this correspondent that the same memorandum would be submitted to the chief ministers of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh very soon.

Addressing a mammoth gathering, the NSF president Subenthung Kithan vehemently condemned the AFSPA, which authorized the Indian Army, without retribution, to arrest or kill on mere suspicion. NSF president asserted that with ongoing political negotiation and peace process between the Government of India and the Nagas any policy that harmed the atmosphere of trust and confidence should be summarily repealed at the earliest.

He said Nagas were peace loving people and did not want atrocities and brutality anymore and added that “enough is enough”.

NPMHR secretary general Neingulo Krome in a 3-page backgrounder speech on the works of NPMHR on AFSPA said that NPMHR as a human rights organization right from its formation started to protest the Armed Forces (special Powers) Act of 1958, the Nagaland Security Regulation of 1962, Assam Maintenance of Public Order, 1953, and others, which were earlier called “Black Laws” but was rephrased to “draconian laws”.

Krome said he wondered if the Government of India was aware that AFSPA was not only killing the victims but was also taking away the very humanity of all Indian soldiers

who were serving under the provisions of the Act. Naga Mothers Association (NMA) president Abeiu Meru, in her speech, said the Naga mothers were deeply anguished over the continued imposition of the AFSPA and the extension of the Disturbed Area Act. “How long are we going to suffer the brunt of the Army atrocities on our men and brothers, our women, mothers, wives and sisters, on our children and remain helpless,” NMA president questioned.

She further said “our towns are filled with Military guns that try to muzzle us with fear and intimidation, our youth, our children have been wiped away on mere suspicions through fake encounter killings like the most recent Wuzu massacre and the Pangsha border killings of unarmed civilians and cadres.” Reminding the gathering of the Naga history, NMA president said she has seen the deaths of thousands at the hands of the Indian Army. Meru said that under AFSPA, which has been used indiscriminately, even in times of peace, thousands of women down the years have been raped, tortured and subjected to terrible disgrace, which cannot be imagined.

ACAUT cautions state govt over HC order DIMAPUR, AUG 11(NPN): Close on the heels of the August 5, 2016 landmark judgment of the Kohima Bench of the Gauhati High Court to its November 2015 PIL, ACAUT Nagaland through its media cell has highlighted the core aspects of the court order.

ACAUT Nagaland media cell said that the court order had taken away the “unfettered right” of the state government in making “illegal appointments” and the state cabinet from regularizing such appointments after giving legal sanctity of the Office Memorandum passed by the state cabinet and notified on July 6.2016.

ACAUT said the Office Memorandum (OM) of 2016 was a partial modification of an earlier OM issued on February 26, 2001 where it was decided that no appointment shall be made on contract basis. It stated that the HC order on August 5, was clear that all forms of backdoor appointments were to be stopped and that the said order was to be also understood in relation to the OM 2016 and the OM 2001 as reiterated in the Dr. Atouzo Vs state of Nagaland and Umadevi case. The OM 2016 and the undertaking submitted by the chief secretary quoted extensively from the two above cases, said ACAUT. ACAUT also main-

tained that by inserting the Dr. Atouzo Vrs State of Nagaland in the OM 2016, the state cabinet had “on its own volition” notified that it has no power to regularise contract/ad hoc appointments in line with the judgement order when the court struck down the regularisation of 19 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons(VAS). The cabinet had “illegally” regularised the services of the VAS and after the OM 2016 which overrode the OM 2008, which contained the “controversial clause” that “contract employees may be regularised by the department, who have completed more than 3 years of service (sic)”. Successive governments had applied this clause where tens of thousands of back door appointments were made, stated ACAUT. ACAUT fur ther reminded, that as per the Office Memorandum 2016 services of contract or ad hoc employees cannot be regularised and that as per the OM 2001 any contract appointment cannot be extend beyond one (1) year.

On the basis of the OMs, ACACUT maintained that there was no option but for the government to clean up the mess and allow thousands of contract appointments “to lapse with immediate effect”.

ACAUT further cautioned that government that ignoring

KOLKATA, AUG 11 (IANS): Aimed at easing access to silkrelated web resources, a portal on sericulture designed by Indian researchers comes with a built-in search engine to enable quick and accurate data mining and also seeks to protect indigenous knowledge on the subject.

Developed by researchers at Bioengineering Research Laboratory, Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati, the portal is called ‘SeriPort’. It is projected as a “database of databases” that pools in information from databases related to seribiodiversity such as those on silkworms, host plants, pests, pathogens and the like.

Launched in May, it germinated from a systematic review of the existing databases on sericulture. “Currently, about 70 databases have been appended to the portal,” says Utpal Bora, the corresponding author of the review published recently in ‘Database: The Journal of Biological Data-

bases and Curation’.It has 22 silkworm databases, 23 host plant databases, one pest and pathogen database and 24 combined databases. “It would be strengthened to serve as a data aggregation platform for analytics and decision-making in future,” Bora, who leads the Unit of Excellence for Seribiosciences (a project funded by India’s Department of Biotechnology), told IANS. The database has recorded over 3,800 hits so far and culls information from countries across the globe including top silk-producer China and leader in sericulture research, Japan. But what triggered the effort to create a platform on sericulture?

“The need for the comprehensive database arose during our research on silk when we discovered it was difficult to find out what work had already been done,” Deepika Singh, review co-author and a research scholar at the laboratory, told IANS.

Thousands turn up for rally against AFSPA in Dimapur

Students attend protest rally at Clock Tower junction in Dimapur Thursday. (NP)

DIMAPUR, AUG 11 (NPN): NSF called protest rally against AFSPA was organised at two locations in Dimapur – one at Clock tower, organised by Dimapur Naga Students union, and the other at Agri Expo Junction, Diphupar, organised

by Diphupar Naga Students Union (DNSU).

Responding to the call of NSF, around 8000 students from several colleges and schools in Dimapur converged at Clock tower, Dimapur on Thursday to protest against imposition of AFSPA and DAA. Braving the scorching sun, students from 42 schools and college in Dimapur shouted slogan, “Repeal Armed Force Special Power Act in our land”.

Some of the students held

DC Dimapur informs on four lane compensation DIMAPUR: All the landowners and beneficiaries of the villages affected by the proposed Dimapur bypass four lane road from Chumukedima/ Patkai Bridge to Khushiabill village have been informed that phase-III payment of compensation for land building and other items would be paid at the office of the deputy commissioner (DC), Dimapur on August 18, 2016.

In a public notice, DC Dimapur, Kesonyu Yhome, said compensation amount for Chumukedima town, Block-I (plot No 2 to Plot No. 21) would be paid from 9am to 12:30pm and beneficiaries who were yet to collect compensation from the first and second instalments would be paid from 1pm to 2pm.

In this regard, DC has directed the concerned affected landowners/beneficiaries to come in person to collect their respective cheques.

Head GBs/chairmen/ convenor and members of the concerned village/ward councils have also been informed to be physically present for identification of the landowners and beneficiaries during disbursal of cheques of their respective village, failing which payment would be withheld.

Mandatory documents required to be furnished by the beneficiaries include ID proof, Bank passbook, five passport photos, original land documents (Jamabandi/patta passbook etc.).

The deputy commissioner (DC) Dimapur informed that said the National Highways and Infrastructure development corporation Limited (NHIDCL) sanctioned the third instalment of the compensation amount for payment of land, building and other items to the affected landowners vide F.No.NHIDCL/Nagaland/ Dimapur bypass/2015 dated August 2, 2016.

placards that read, “AFSPA inhuman activism, repeal the AFSPA, and Indian armies leave us alone, etc”.

Earlier, the students assembled in their own schools and colleges and proceeded to the Clock tower on foot.

No untoward incident was report.

Elaborate security arrangements were also deployed at various strategic locations in the event of any situation.

DNSU president, Sungkum Aier, who addressed the rally, questioned the Government of India by asking why AFSPA was imposed when all the different Naga political groups have agreed into ceasefire and agreement with the Government of India and negotiation were in progress?

He said the “draconian act” has become a big hurdle, which has “taken away our

rights”, and challenged “our existence”. He urged the students to take the lead and educate the people around to build a powerful resistance movement in the state. Representatives from Naga Council Dimapur, Naga Women Hoho Dimapur and student representative (DGC) also addressed the rally.

Addressing the rally at Agri Expo Junction, Diphupar, former NSF president and editor of Tir Yimyim, K. Temjen Jamir, asked the students if it was alright to have an Act that gave impunity to the Indian army to walk into their homes anytime, search their houses, arrest them and even kill them on mere suspicion. “No one could feel secure as long as the Act remains’” he added.

Jamir said there was not a single Naga family that has not been touched by the brutal-

ity of the Indian army under AFSPA, which was passed despite huge opposition by many parliamentarians when the bill was first introduced on August 11, 1958.

Commenting on the Naga political issue, he said the government of India has always tried to suppress the Naga spirit but never succeeded. NSF’s former president said the Centre allowing such anti-people Act to prevail despite having ceasefire agreements did not send a positive sign and rather displayed that solution might not be nearing.

Citing the example of Tripura from where AFSPA was lifted after the intervention of the state government, he opined that if Tripura could do it, so could the government of Nagaland. He asked the state government to go to Delhi and convey the message that Nagas did want to live under this Act besides rushing to the capital for more funds and to talk about peace.

Jamir also urged the student to write to the Governor and Chief Minister against the Act. Delivering presidential address, DNSU president Kumlamo Patton said draconian laws have no place in the modern civilized world and should be outrightly condemned by all the right thinking citizens.

Earlier, the programme was chaired by former speaker DNSU, Zuchamo Mozhui while associate pastor of SBCD, Benjamin Aye, invoked God’s blessing. Vote of thanks was proposed by DNSU general secretary, N.Pitovi Achumi and benediction by ABCD youth director, Talimoa Jamir.

PSC serves 30-day ultimatum on government

Further, the conference accused the state government of betraying and depriving hundreds and thousands of students with the basic necessity amongst which failure to provide required number of teachers was the most prominent one.

Iron to Irom

anipur’s Irom Sharmila began her hunger strike on November 2, 2000 when she was 28 and went on for sixteen years, to become the world’s longest hunger strike. Irom refused to heed to pleas to end her hunger strike as she continued to press ahead with her demand for repeal of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act 1958. Her hunger strike attracted nationwide and international focus and she became an icon of civil rights activists and also earned fame and name as ‘The Iron Lady’ of Manipur. She was awarded the 2007 Gwangju Prize for Human Rights, shared the award with Lenin Raghuvanshi of People’s Vigilance Committee on Human Rights, a NorthEastern Indian human rights organisation and in 2009, was awarded the first Mayillama Award of the Mayilamma Foundation “for achievement of her nonviolent struggle in Manipur”. On August 9,2016 Irom Sharmila decided to give up her hunger strike after having been forced fed by authorities for sixteen years. On Tuesday, Irom took her first voluntary few drops of honey at a public function to mark the end of her 16-year old hunger strike. There is no doubt that the ‘Iron Lady of Manipur’ had proved to the world that she had the guts and determination to continue and so when she decided to give up her hunger strike, there were understandably, mixed reactions. It may be recalled, that Irom took the vow for repeal of AFSPA after an incident in Malom on November 2, 2002 when ten civilians were shot and killed while waiting at a bus stop allegedly by the Assam Rifles. The victims of the “Malom Massacre” included Leisangbam Ibetombi, a 62-year-old woman, and 18-year-old Sinam Chandramani, a 1988 National Bravery Award winner. Sharmila ended her fast exactly a month after the Supreme Court judgment questioned the immunity enjoyed by the security personnel under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act of 1958 (AFSPA) against criminal action for acts committed in disturbed areas.The apex court had said last month that there was no concept of “absolute immunity” from trial by a criminal court if an Army man had committed an offence. Presently, there are mixed reactions to Sharmila’s decision to end her hunger strike. Moreover, she had also declared her intention to marry and contest elections (possibly 2017) and wants to become chief minister (to use politics for revocation of AFSPA. However, the public did not take well of Sharmila’s intentions as they felt she has gone off track and let them down. Of course, there were many who criticised Sharmila for letting them down and they found her decision to give up hunger strike as a surrender. People who had made Sharmila a living legend probably to suit their interests, today have not only criticised her but abandoned her for trying to be what she is- a human being with human feelings. Even her friends (or feather weather ones) have abandoned her and she had to return to the hospital that sheltered her for most part of her hunger strike and later took shelter in a Red Cross premises. Unfortunately, people don’t accept Sharmila’s decision end her hunger strike. They think she has given up for repeal of FSPA. Indeed, the people of Manipur have turned the Iron Lady to Irom the Lady and that has added a twist to an epic journey.

This Experience Must Come

Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha…saw him no more. —2 Kings 2:11-12 It is not wrong for you to depend on your “Elijah” for as long as God gives him to you. But remember that the time will come when he must leave and will no longer be your guide and your leader, because God does not intend for him to stay. Even the thought of that causes you to say, “I cannot continue without my ‘Elijah.’ ” Yet God says you must continue.

Alone at Your “Jordan” (2 Kings 2:14). The Jordan River represents the type of separation where you have no fellowship with anyone else, and where no one else can take your responsibility from you. You now have to put to the test what you learned when you were with your “Elijah.”

You have been to the Jordan over and over again with Elijah, but now you are facing it alone. There is no use in saying that you cannot go— the experience is here, and you must go. If you truly want to know whether or not God is the God your faith believes Him to be, then go through your “Jordan” alone.

Alone at Your “Jericho” (2 Kings 2:15). Jericho represents the place where you have seen your “Elijah” do great things. Yet when you come alone to your “Jericho,” you have a strong reluctance to take the initiative and trust in God, wanting, instead, for someone else to take it for you.

But if you remain true to what you learned while with your “Elijah,” you will receive a sign, as Elisha did, that God is with you.

Alone at Your “Bethel” (2 Kings 2:23). At your “Bethel” you will find yourself at your wits’ end but at the beginning of God’s wisdom. When you come to your wits’ end and feel inclined to panic— don’t! Stand true to God and He will bring out His truth in a way that will make your life an expression of worship. Put into practice what you learned while with your “Elijah”— use his mantle and pray (see 2 Kings 2:13-14). Make a determination to trust in God, and do not even look for Elijah anymore.

I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. ~ Bill Cosby

Nagaland Post, Dimapur friday, August 12, 2016

A

fter learning that the Union Minister of Railway Suresh Prabu would be laying the foundation stone for Dimapur (Dhanshiri) to Zubza train route on August 1, 2016 a lot of thought began to process in my mind. The thought of train running from Dimapur to the interior parts of Nagaland may be fascinating however the thought of the pain this train is going to bring out weights the happy thoughts of the coming train.

There are lot’s to be pointed out however few points that are worthy to be considered at the present junction as to what could happen with the coming of the train are:1. Taxi Drivers will lose their jobs: There are hundreds of taxis in Dimapur alone. With the coming of Train many people will take the train to travel form Dimapur towards Kohima. The reason would be the cost of train travel will be very less compared to that of a taxi fare and much comfortable. Which in turn will result in the passengers taking the train and dumping the taxis.

Once the taxi driver loses its passengers that will be the end of their jobs. We have to remember that these taxi drivers have family to take care too. They have kids going to school/colleges; they may have old sickly parents to take care of. Their kids also have dreams and would want to become doctors and engineers.

The only one who earns might be their father who Is a taxi driver and when his/her father lose his job as a taxi driver that would be the end of the dream for all those who depend on him.

Has the central govt/state govt/ Nagaland NGO’s considered the situation?

2. The roadside hotels will have to close down: Today while travelling up to Kohima we see many small hotels serving good food. These hotel owners are mostly locals who are trying to make a living depending on the taxi drivers/bus drivers who bring costumers to them. Once the train starts the hotels can say

“N

agaland Vision 2030” is understood by the Lotha Hoho as how a Naga would wish Nagaland to be by 2030 AD: a wishful Nagaland of 2030. For a nation or people or country to be seen as great, the people or nation needs to be economically self reliant, the society must be refined, the people must be ready to respond to any difficult event or situation including natural calamity or external threat.

Therefore while envisioning Nagaland as a respectable entity, we need to ask ourselves some questions like “are the Naga people economically self reliant, are the Nagas socially refined, or can the Nagas stand on their own feet in the event of Natural Calamity such as earthquake causing destruction of properties like houses, roads, public utilities such as water or power supply installations etc or in times of cyclonic holocaust or famine or epidemic etc”? Let us look at the so called great countries like the USA, Russia, Japan, China, Germany, UK, Switzerland, South Korea etc, These countries have developed their countries and are seen as great countries in terms of economic prosperity, defence capability, living standard of the people etc. Hence we again need to ask “ how have these countries achieved their present status”?

Let us take the example of the Russian socialist logo of hammer and sickle, meaning “work with the hammer and reap with the sickle”, that is also to say work will enable harvest and harvest will make us prosperous and great. Let us also take note of the recent instance of aspiring students asking the UPSC topper about the secret of his success. The topper replied “very simple, there is no secret, it is only hard work”. In like manner, the Nagas need to work if we are to achieve economic reliance. Our Naga forefathers were known to have been hard working; but in spite of their hard work, they could hardly sustain themselves; not to speak of nationally or globally recognisable prosperity. Hence we realise that hard work needs to be reinforced with science and technology, like the above named countries and most European countries, if we are to achieve economic prosperity and economic self reliance.

Unless Hard Work is coupled

goodbye to their little earnings because the taxi/bus passenger would be riding the train. Which means many locals Hotel walas will have to close down their hotel. Many of these hotel walas might have taken loans and even sold off their land to start their small hotel and now this train is going to put an end to their dream. These hotel walas have kids and other family member depending on them. What will become of them? Again has the central/state govt/Nagaland NGO’s considered this situation?

3. The local Truck owner/ mini-goods carrier vehicles will lose their job: There are many locals who own Trucks/minigoods carriers for carrying goods from Dimapur to Kohima. These tuck owners have taken loan from the bank or borrowed from someone some have even sold their land to buy the truck. Now once the train comes in the truck drivers/mini goods carriers will lose their job. Because the train will carry goods at much cheaper rate. Any person with common sense would use the train to save money. This will result into complete business failure for the truck/mini-goods carrier owners.

What has the central/state govt/ Nagaland NGOs thought about this situation?

4. The local fruits/ vegetable sellers will lose their costumer: Many self help groups have opened fruits/vegetable stalls along the Dimapur Kohima high way and depend on the taxi and other commuters for their sale. One the train comes all these self-help groups will become help-help groups. There small business will be utterly destroyed by the coming of train. Has the central/sate govt a mechanism to help these people?

5. The damage to the Environment: For the coming of the train a lot of vegetations would have to be destroyed to make way for the Train tracks and stations.

Nagaland is already bustling with vehicles with no proper air pollution control. The train most likely will be a diesel engine.

with Science and Technology, we cannot achieve economic prosperity and be competitive and no amount of Planning or envisioning will .make us better. Therefore, envisioning a better future Nagaland is possible only by inculcating work culture among the Nagas, especially the youth the future citizens.

The Lotha Hoho is impressed with the state govt’s idea of Envisioning, for a better Nagaland, with an eminent bureaucrat like Mr. Alemtenshi Jamir, IAS Retired, as Convener, of Nagaland Vision 2030.

The Basic ingredients necessary for evolution of Nagaland’s economy, are knowledge of science and technology coupled with hard work and elimination of anti social activities, including corruption.

1. Our strengths seem to be limited although there are potentials, among which, the few major ones are availability of natural resources such as Oil & Natural Gas, forest wealth, Hydro Power generation potential, congenial climate friendly to manual workers, prospect for beneficial agricultural pursuits, animal husbandry, rich cultures and aesthetic landscapes creating enormous tourism potential, etc.

2. Our weaknesses are lack of work culture, love for easy money and thereby misuse of available fund without commensurate work output resulting in poor infrastructure especially road connectivity, drug abuse and alcoholism, especially among the youth, absence of industries, there seems to be many schools in the state up to Higher Secondary level; but the govt schools are being spoiled by too many hands of communitisation, but we lack necessary Higher Science and Technological institutions, like Medicine and Engineering. In today’s world of science and technology, Nagaland needs such worthy educational institutions for the needed improvement in all aspects. The Chinese saying “if you plan for a year, sow crops, if you plan for ten years, plant trees; but if you plan for a century educate the people”, should not be forgotten if we are to really envision for a better Nagaland.

3. Opportunities are varied and many; but feasible only if we eradicate our weaknesses and overcome the threats : sufficient fund available under

The amount of diesel smoke put into the fragile environed would be dangerous. The fresh air of the Naga Hills will no longer be fresh but polluted with toxic diesel exhaust of the train. We can expect more asthma, and other lungs infections with the coming of train. Has the central/ state govt/environmental NGO’s thought about this situation?

6. The illegal immigrant issue: With the coming of the train there will be a train of Illegal immigrants reaching every interior parts of Nagaland, because the train would make it more easy for them. Which means after the coming of train in few years the number of illegal immigrants would multiply at an alarming rate. Which would translate to more problems in the future. Has the central/state govt and all Nagas sick with illegal immigrant issue in Nagaland thought about it?

These are just few things but there are more to be discussed. I wonder if our Central / Nagaland Sate government have done a proper homework and weighted the “cost and worth factor” of ushering a train to reach to the interior parts of Nagaland. It is well understood that the coming of train is much wanted, however the real question is do we really “need” it now? When there is no proper mechanism at place for the taxi drivers, road side hotel walas, vegetable vendor who would be the first ones to lose their jobs and to check the inflow of illegal immigrants, why ask for more train services. Nagaland would need more train service to the most interior parts of its state but not now now. Just as we cannot imagine of bus service from Dhobinal to DC court Junction as it will effect hundreds of Autowalas, we cannot imagine of a train where taxi walas are barely making enough to feed their family. The Nagaland Govt/politicians encourages Nagas to stop looking for government jobs and start their own private business and when the people are trying to establish themselves by driving

taxi, trucks, selling vegetables etc. The State Government plots with the central government to throw a train in the mist of the competition. What kind of backstabbing policy is this? The Nagaland politicians and the Govt better have an answer for such ugly policy. No right sensing government would throw a train in a fragile economic environment like Nagaland where small business individuals are struggling to survive. It is not that we don’t have a train station in Nagaland. We have one train in Dimapur which is enough for us for now. The lone Train Station in Dimapur has contributed to the economic growth of the state however it has also poured in more illegal immigrants to the State and has caused enough headache/heartache as well.

The taxi unions, the truck drivers union, the hotel unions etc should consider the case very carefully. And take up the case soon with the State/Central government before it’s too late. Naga land owners should also study the matter carefully before giving any land for the rail track. Where are the so called environment activists? Who sing slogans for protection of environment? Why are the environment NGO’s being silent over the matter? Taking pictures of hugging/planting trees does not help much neither wearing a cap/T- shirt that says protect environment. If the Environmental organizations in Nagaland truly care the current New train project form Dimapur- to Zubza should have been enough to stir up their spirits and they would have done something already.

We have to put ourselves in the place of the taxi driver, truck/ mini-goods carriers, vegetables vendors etc only then we will understand the seriousness of the matter. It would be great if our Union Minister of Railway Suresh Prabu take a drive from Dimapur to Zubza then to Kohima and see the situation for himself. Nagaland needs train service reaching all the districts but not now.

4. The Threats to Nagaland’s development are rampant corruption in almost every activity, including extortion, unfair electioneering by way of use of money and muscle power etc, and thereby electing the wrong representatives, unemployment problem, etc Short term (three years) Plan : Without knowing our strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, we cannot properly utilise our strength, eliminate our weaknesses, avail the opportunities or overcome the threats. Hence we need to start with the identification of our strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We can then find out the needed initiative to properly utilise our strength, eliminate our weaknesses, avail the opportunities and overcome the threats. This initiative may be carried out by conducting seminars, awareness campaigns, conducting social survey for gathering information, opinions and views of the common public, both urban & rural. Electioneering has to be made to be carried out without money or muscle power, by apprising every candidate that if no liability is created, not getting elected will have no adverse consequence. Corruption is, to a great extend, the child of unfair electioneering and hence free and fair electioneering will minimise corruption, to a great extend and politicians can have the courage to work against corruption. Drug abuse and alcoholism have to be minimised, by effective implementation of existing remedial measures.

Perhaps, lifting Prohibition can minimise drug abuse and hence the Prohibition Act needs to be reviewed. Unemployment problem is due to apathy towards manual work and craze for white collar jobs only. White collar jobs do not directly produce any commodity; manual work with modern technology and industrialisation alone can evolve our economy. Hence motivation for skilled manual work have to be carried out by way of opening Industries and Technical Training institutions.

Mid term Plan (3rd to 10th - seven years) : Having identified our strength, weak-

nesses, opportunities and threats, and having found the means to utilise/eradicate/ avail/overcome them, to firmly implement these action plans. to encourage “the willing but underprivileged”, motivating the social institutions like churches, tribal hohos, etc to do their part in social upliftment activities, enact suitable state govt acts/laws and enforce them firmly, review and streamline state govt policies/abandon ineffective policies like communitisation: Communitisation is ideal in principle; but the grass root level participants have not perceived the ideal principles and instead too many hands are spoiling the initiative, especially in departments like Education and Health & Family Welfare etc. Our strength like availability of Natural Resources and Tourism potential need to be explored and developed. The existing NP & NG Regulations

Village Education Committee (the other side of the coin)

T

he Nagaland communitisation of Public Institutions and Services Act 2002 passed by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly had brilliantly empowered the VEC on Administration of the Public Elementary School, its Academic Concerns and the Financial or Maintenance of School’s Accounts. There is a popular quote which says, “With great power comes great responsibility”; the capacity and question of the delivery of expected responsibilities by the VECs in the villages have to be examined sincerely and honestly.

Definitely, there are some villages that would not be in a position to have such qualified and verified team to run the Public School with all the legal authorities vested upon them. This would certainly reverse the excellent policy of Communitisation of Public Institutions. There are standing examples yet unofficial records with regard to misappropriation of funds, granting substitute teacher(s), almost nil enrolment in the school, politicising of the selection or election of the VEC/CEC Chairman, wrong representatives or unproportionate representatives of the VEC members etc. committed by the VECs. There are some villages that cannot shoulder the responsibilities in managing the Temple of Learning despite orientations and instructions from the implementing agencies. In other words, some villages are not matured enough to effectively implement the concept of communitisation which in actual term required qualified individuals and prolific leaders to make it successful one and rather not cultivators nor a self-styled village school masters to run the formal educational institution at their own fashion. The concern department is silent in these matters and issues. Sometimes, the situation is like the compass of the ship is given to a group of persons who do not know how to operate and let the ship go astray in the mighty ocean or letting the villagers to experiment and drive the school bus packed with students and teachers on board irrespective of their mechanical knowledge and skill of driving. It is not to underrate the rustic wisdom nor challenge the implementing agencies at the higher level yet and true enough that in some villages, VECs are terrible!

School buildings are good shelters for village cows, students are without study materials or out of school, village teachers compete to cultivate paddy with fellow villagers, interested only in funds or runs after school building constructions and other facilities etc. and does nothing or knows very little about the teaching learning process and students-teachers welfare which is the core importance of learning outcome. Such are the situations which directly or indirectly delay the students and teaching community for educational progress and social change in the village level. Communitisation of the public school is too costly affair to let the rural people ruin their own Temple of Learning at the expense of their own ignorance. A mechanism must be formulated to check this perplexity before this kind of environment hatch and raise another generation of idiots. The sanctity of the Temple of Learning is to be considered and by doing so RTE and New Pedagogy can be smoothly implemented.

& Rules need to be reviewed and amended, in accordance with the Constitutional provisions like Article 371 A, the Representations of affected people like the Lotha Hoho filing a PIL for safeguarding the interests of the affected Land owners. The LOTHA HOHO P.I.L. IS NOT AN OUTRIGHT REJECTION OF NP & NG REGULATIONS OR RULES; BUT FOR REVIEW AND AMENDMENT OF CERTAIN REGULATIONS/ RULES. If these reviews and amendments are carried out and done, the Lotha Hoho and people will gladly co operate with the concerned authorities or companies for exploration, extraction or development. The Lotha Hoho PIL would have never come up had the state govt, instead of arrogantly one-sided attitude, done the needed consultations, review and amend the needed Regu-

lations & Rules, the scenario could have been different for the better. It is necessary to Identify the available opportunities and create suitable ways and means/sponsorship for availing the opportunities. The funds available under GOI programmes need to be judiciously utilised, without corruption, favouritism or partiality and to ensure proper workmanship, commensurate with the fund provided. Work culture must be inculcated by way of strict maintenance of attendance in offices, work places, appropriate censures, punishments given to erring workers, with the motto that “pardoning the bad harms the good”.

Reader’s Post

Open letter to minister of Education & SCERT Nagaland

Sub: Discrepancy in distribution of RMSA teachers in the state.

Sir,

Needless to mention again but Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhijan (RMSA), Nagaland is a comprehensive and integrated flagship programme of the Government of India (GOI), implemented in the state for providing quality education to all children in the age group 14-16 years of age for Secondary Schools (i.e. Class 9 & 10) and 16-18 years of age for Higher Secondary Schools (Class 11 & 12).

Appointments of RMSA teachers were done to teach secondary students (i.e. class 9 and class 10 students). However, it is found that there are still many recently upgraded High Schools which have no class IX & X students. Despite the fact that there are no secondary students, the recently appointed RMSA subject teachers have been deployed in those empty student schools anyway whereas some schools are facing shortages of teachers to teach secondary students. I am giving you a sample figure below taking GHS Khuza as an example for your better understanding.

Enrolment of students is as follows: • Class V - (13 students) • Class VI - (11 students) • Class VII - (6 students) • Class VII - (5 students) • Class IX - ( Nil) • Class X - (Nil) Total enrolment is 35(thirty five).

Enrolment of teachers is as follows: • Teachers appointed under SSA for teaching elementary students-9(Nine) • Teachers appointed under RMSA for teaching secondary students-5(five) Total teaching staff is 14(fourteen).

(Please note that this school is not the only one having excess of teachers but due to availability of school statistics, it has been randomly picked to depict the faulty system of teachers distribution.)

As you can see from above, there is already excess of teachers with TSR 14:35 which is so abnormal when there are many secondary schools facing shortages of Graduate Teachers. The government should have done proper survey and assessment about the availability of students before deployment of these teachers so that there is fairness in distribution of teachers for every school. Since the subject-wise distribution of teacher has been left to the State Government, special attention is required towards the provisioning of subject-wise teachers as it is critical at the secondary education stage for bringing quality education in the state.

However, he said the Government of Nagaland despite the hue and cry of public till date has not taken any steps for the withdrawal of the controversial Act.

NSF protest rally for repeal of AFSPA

(From p-1) NMA president urged upon the chief minister and the state government to stand up for the people, protect their rights to live as a people with equal respect, and recommend for the repeal of AFSPA and withdrawal of the Disturbed Area Act. NMA also appealed to the Government of India to prove their commitment to true peace and peaceful negotiations and ensure repeal of the AFSPA and withdrawal of the Disturbed Area Act at the earliest. Naga Hoho secretary general, Mutsikhoyo Yhobu, in his address, said AFSPA was “a repressive Draconian Law and an obsolete law” that had no place in modern democratic civilized nations of the world.

He said the Act provided the Indian Army unlimited power and to act with impunity. Yhobu said under the protection of this controversial law, the Indian Army can give orders to shoot, arrest without warrant, enter any place and search without search warrants, frisk and search vehicles protected by legal immunity.

Naga Hoho general secretary also reminded the gathering that AFSPA has been withdrawn in Punjab after 14 years from 1983- 1997 of imposition

and sought a copy of the inspection report which was filed in a sealed cover to file its response.

The matter has now been listed for the next hearing on September 28.

Earlier, AOL foundation had deposited Rs 4.75 crore “environment compensation” with Delhi Development Authority as directed by NGT for damaging Yamuna’s biodiversity during its ‘World Culture Festival’ in March.

The green panel had on March 9 refused to prohibit the festival held between March 11 and 13 but asked it to pay a compensation of Rs 5 crore for damaging biodiversity and aquatic life of Yamuna.

On March 11, AOL had moved a plea seeking four weeks time for depositing the amount after which the tribunal allowed the foundation to deposit Rs 25 lakh on that day and granted three weeks time period to pay the balance amount.

He stressed on the need of sharing ideas from various departments like forest, agriculture, horticulture, PHED, soil and water conservation, irrigation and flood control.

Kumar said through the three Cs “Conservation by Convergence by Community” land resource department will be able to work better in watershed development.

The green panel granted liberty to the committee, also comprising senior scientist from National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Professor C R Babu, Professor A K Gosain, Professor Brij Gopal and two more members, to seek assistance of a specialised agency in determining the cost of restoration.

“An inspection report by the expert committee dated July 28 has been placed before the tribunal. Copies of the report be furnished to all the counsel and three weeks time is granted to file replies,” the bench said.

NEW DELHI, AUG 11 (AGENCEIS): The renowned spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Thursday called the National Green Tribunal blind and based a day after an expert committee concluded that the three-day ‘World Culture Festival’ organised by his Art of Living (AOL) had caused major damage to the Yamuna riverbed.

The AOL founder took to Twitter and tweeted: ‘’Expert Committee of the NGT is blind & biased. We will fight against this untruth.’’

Satellite images and scientific data do not lie, he tweeted further.

The reactions from Sri Sri, as he is popularly known, came a day after the National Green Tribunal (NGT) directed the AOL to submit its response within three weeks on the inspection report of Yamuna flood plains by an expert committee.

A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar directed

(From p-1) He said that the present stand of the state government is solution that should be inclusive of all stake holders.

He also informed that state government would continue to appeal NSCN (K) to reinstate the ceasefire agreement in the interest of a permanent solution. Speaking at the programme, parliamentary secretary for Land Resources BS Nganglang Phom said that watershed management was not only a hydrogical unit but also socio-political entity which plays a crucial role in determining food and economic security that provides life support services to the people.

He said “we should give more importance to rain water harvesting and added that understanding the hydrologic cycle is a key to the proper management of water which helps to understand the role and cycle on human impact”.

Chief Secretar y Nagaland, Pankaj Kumar in his short speech said that the integrated watershed management program (IWMP) has become an integral component of the new Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) from 2016-17.

SpiceJet founder-promoter Ajay Singh again took charge of the airline last year.

The Q400s allowed the airline to expand presence on regional routes in south and north India but added to cost and complexities. Also, the airline faced engineering and maintenance issues with the aircraft. Last year, plane maker Bombardier approved GMR’s maintenance, repair and overhaul unit in Hyderabad to conduct checks on their aircraft and until then, SpiceJet was forced to send its planes abroad for checks.

Rajan, a former IMF Chief Economist, also ruled out joining politics.

“I think that is one place where my wife overrides everything and her answer is ‘no’,” he said on joining politics. Asked how he feels about being on the list of India’s ‘most desirable men’, the 53year-old Governor quipped: “I wish they had done it when I was 25.”

Rajan described himself as a “boring guy” and said he being described as ‘Rockstar Banker’ is an “overblown” statement.

N E W D E L H I , AU G 1 1 (AGENCIES): SpiceJet will add three Bombardier Q400 aircraft to expand regional services, starting in October, to the northeast and elsewhere.

The airline has 14 Q400 aircraft in service from its original order. It is the first such addition.

Sources indicate the new aircraft will be based in Kolkata and used on existing and new routes in the northeast.

The airline is planning a new Kolkata-Dhaka and KolkataSilchar service. At present, it only flies to Guwahati and Agartala.

At present, SpiceJet operates nearly 300 daily flights and around 120 of these are operated with Q400 aircraft from Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru.

The number of daily flights is likely to increase by a fifth after induction of the new aircraft.

“There is a new civil aviation policy which focuses a lot on regional connectivity. We are the largest regional player in the market and are looking at taking advantage of the leadership position in the space. We are exploring new sectors and destinations in various parts, including the northeast,” a SpiceJet spokesperson said in an e-mailed response.

The airline inducted its first Q400 aircraft in 2011, when under Sun Television chairman Kalanithi Maran’s control. Originally, it had placed a firm order for 15 aircraft, with an option for 15 more. It took delivery of the former but did

Raghuram Rajan

In an earlier TV interview, Rajan had said he was open to staying a bit longer at RBI to complete the unfinished work of bank cleanup, but was perfectly happy to go.

Rajan, who announced in June that he would not serve another term at RBI, said the dialogue with the government did not reach a stage where he could have agreed to stay on.

In recent months, Rajan has faced a slew of personal attacks from BJP MP Subramanian Swamy who had alleged that the former IMF chief economist was “mentally not fully Indian” and sent confidential and sensitive financial information abroad.

Rajan has also faced criticism by some others for his controversial remarks on various occasions. At a select media interaction earlier this week after presenting his last monetary policy, he strongly defended his views saying they were “perfectly legitimate” ones and within the remit of a central bank head.

“In none of those speeches that I have made has there been an explicit criticism or an implicit criticism of the government. There are people who read the interpretation of what is the speech I have given,” he said.

LONDON, AUG 11 (AGENCIES): Reserve Bank’s outgoing Governor Raghuram Rajan, whose outspoken views have often been seen as being critical of the government, feels whatever he will say on Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be “problematic”.

Rajan, whose tenure at RBI has been marked with several controversies triggered by his comments on issues ranging from tolerance debate to the government’s flagship programme ‘Make in India’, was asked to describe Modi in a televised rapid- fire like interview with BBC. “I think I will pass on that question. Whatever answer I give will be problematic, so I will just pass,” said the on- leave professor of finance at Chicago University, who will return to academia after end of his three-year term at RBI on September 4.

After his decision to return back to academia, there have been voices suggesting that his candid public speeches were one of the aspects which made the government uncomfortable about reappointing Rajan for another term.

Some of the controversial speeches made by him include the one where he quoted American political philosopher Francis Fukuyama to question whether strong governments can really help

Donald Trump calls Obama ‘founder of ISIS’

WA S H I N G TO N, AU G 11 (AGENCIES): Donald Trump on Wednesday repeatedly called President Barack Obama the “founder” of ISIS and labeled Hillary Clinton the “co-founder.”

At a rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Trump also said that ISIS “honors” Obama -- who the GOP nominee referred to as “Barack Hussein Obama.”

After lamenting the “mistake” the US made by going to war in Iraq -- a conflict he repeatedly says that he opposed, despite evidence to the contrary -- Trump then criticized Obama’s attempts to “clean up.”

“Normally you want to clean up; he made a bigger mess out of it. He made such a mess. And then you had Hillary with Libya, so sad,” Trump said.

“In fact, in many respects, you know they honor president Obama. ISIS is honoring President Obama.

He is the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder of ISIS, OK? He’s the founder. He founded ISIS.” He then said that the “co-founder” of ISIS was

“The way he removed our troops -- you shouldn’t have gone in. I was against the war in Iraq. Totally against it.”

“That mistake was made.

It was a horrible mistake -- one of the worst mistakes in the history of our country.

of the Obama administration have used the president’s middle name to highlight what they see as Muslim sympathies and Trump had for a long time claimed Obama was not born in the US. In fact, Obama is a Christian who was born in the US. Following June’s horrific nightclub shooting in Orlando, Trump had suggested that Obama had an ulterior motive.

“We’re led by a man who is very -- look, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind. And the something else in mind, you know, people can’t believe it,” Trump said on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.”

“People cannot believe, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and he can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable. There’s something going on.”

Obama has previously responded: “Calling a threat by a different name doesn’t make it go away.”

ISLAMABAD, AUG 11 (IANS): Twelve people were injured on Thursday in a roadside blast near a hospital in Pakistan’s Quetta city, police said.

“Balochistan Federal Shariat Court Judge Zahoor Shawani was the target in the attack,” the Nation daily quoted Balochistan Home Minister Sarfaraz Bugti as saying.

Civilians and security officials were injured in the attack that took place near Al Khair Hospital in Zarghon road.

The explosion comes just after a suicide bombing at the emergency ward of Quetta’s Civil Hospital on Monday that killed over 70 people, mostly lawyers and journalists.

The bomb was planted along the side of the road and exploded as the Anti Terrorism Force’s (ATF) vehicle passed by.

“This is a busy road and the terrorists take advantage of this, planting bombs and fleeing on motorcycles,” Dawn online quoted Bugti as saying.

“These blasts are aimed at sabotaging Independence Day (August 14) activities in Balochistan. I believe these cowardly acts will not bring down our morale. We are in a conflict zone and we will fight with renewed resolve,” the Home Minister said.

Turkey offers Russia joint operations against IS in Syria ISTANBUL, AUG 11 (AGENCIES): Turkey on Thursday called on Russia to carry out joint operations against Islamic State (IS) in Syria, after crucial talks between President Vladimir Putin and Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan aimed at ending a crisis in ties. The comments by Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu came as a Turkish delegation was in Russia for talks aimed at coordinating actions on Syria and other bilateral issues.

“We will discuss all the details. We have always called on Russia to carry out antiDaesh (IS) operations together,” Cavusoglu said in a live interview with the private NTV television, adding that the proposal was still “on the table”.

Cavusoglu urged Russia to fight against the “common enemy” of IS jihadists in Syria.

“Let’s fight against the terrorist group together, so that we can clear it out as soon as possible,” the minister said, warning otherwise that the group would keep on expanding and spread into other countries.

Erdogan visited Russia’s second city of Saint Petersburg on Tuesday -- his first trip abroad since the July 15 coup attempt.

It was also his first direct

meeting with Putin since the shooting-down of a Russian fighter jet by Turkish air forces on the Syrian border in November that caused unprecedented damage to relations.

NATO member Turkey was long criticised by its Western partners for not playing a full role in the fight against IS

but upped its involvement last year by offering US forces use of an air base for raids against the group.

Turkey has also carried out air and artillery strikes against IS of its own although it it believed to have halted the operations in the wake of the Russian plane incident.

Swedish prosecutors to question Assange US conveys concerns to India over ‘religious freedom’ questioning of Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, as well as proposing other political and legal measures, in order to reach a satisfactory solution for all parties involved in the legal case against Julian Assange, to end the unnecessary delays in the process and to ensure full and effective legal protection.

In line with this position, Ecuador proposed to Sweden the negotiation of an agreement on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, which was signed last December and which provides the legal framework for the questioning, the statement said.

“Ecuador’s foreign ministry reiterates its commitment to the asylum granted to Julian Assange in August 2012, and reaffirms that the protection afforded by the Ecuadorian state shall continue while the circumstances persist that led to the granting of asylum,

namely fears of political persecution.

Assange is wanted in Sweden in relation to a 2010 rape allegation, which the Australian national denies.

He has fought against being extradited to Sweden, saying he fears he would then be transferred to the US to face charges on Wikileaks’ activities.

In 2012, while on bail, he claimed asylum inside the Ecuadorean embassy in central London after the UK Supreme Court had ruled the extradition against him could go ahead.

A UN working group had ruled in February that Assange was being arbitrarily detained.

However, the UK Foreign Office has called for the UN decision to be reviewed, saying Assange was staying in the embassy voluntarily and that the UK had a legal duty to extradite him to Sweden.

Obituary Alila Vito, Co-Founder & Director, Christ For The Nations Bible College, Kohima Nukshilila (Alila) was born in 1945, the 5 th of 11 children of Pangjungmeren and Chubanungla Jamir of Khensa village. Like many Nagas during the political turmoil, she grew up with fear and untold suffering and witnessed Khensa being razed nine times by the Indian army.

On the other hand, revival fire was spreading among Nagas and Alila found Jesus, who gave her joy, peace and abundant life!

After her class ten, she dedicated her life to serve her Lord and Saviour and went for further training in the Word at Kohima Bible College. There she met and married her teacher Rev. Vitokhu on August 17, 1972. An Ao lady marrying a Sumi man in an Angami Revival Church is quite a testimony of our Father’s creative plan! Blessed with four children, God instructed them to establish Christ For The Nations Bible College in 1980.

The couple planted many prayer houses and churches in different states and countries like Myanmar.

Widowed at 47, she took on the mantle of her beloved husband to train disciples from different tribes, tongue and nations. One of the many songs she sang with her ‘darling’ Vito was I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go. Indeed, the Holy Spirit led her to walk on foot to some of the remotest places as well as fly several times to the USA and once to Japan teaching and preaching the Word. Her personal prayer was to see all her children serve the Lord. She is blessed with seven grandchildren.

Alila fought the good fight on her knees. She was a prayer warrior and a woman of deep faith and charity. Alila’s spiritual legacy continues and its full impact one will only see in eternity. Let us celebrate her as Heaven is!

WA S H I N G T O N, A ug 11 (PTI): The US said on Wednesday that it has been clear in conveying its concerns whenever the Indian government was “slow” in reacting to incidents of religious violence and cow vigilantism.

“We have been clear in our engagement with India about our concerns about those times when the government has been slow to react when violence has taken place, and some of those controversies over the cows -- are an example of that,” US Ambassador-at-

Large for International Religious Freedom, Rabbi David Nathan Saperstein, told reporters at a news conference.

“There have been other times where (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi has spoken out and has spoken out very forcefully about the need to protect religious freedom for all and security for all,” Mr Saperstein said in response to a question on religious freedom in India after releasing the annual report on International Religious Freedom in 2015.

LONDON, AUG 11 (PTI): Swedish prosecutors investigating a rape allegation against Julian Assange will question the Wikileaks founder at the Ecuadorian embassy here where he has been holed up since 2012, in a possible breakthrough to the four-year impasse.

The Ecuadorian attorney general delivered a document agreeing to a request by the Swedish authorities to question Assange at the Ecuadoran embassy in London, where he has been hiding out since the 44-year-old sought political asylum from Ecuador four years ago.

“In the coming weeks a date will be established for the proceedings to be held at the embassy of Ecuador in the United Kingdom,” a statement issued in Ecuador to the ‘Guardian’ said.

Ocean’s 8 all-female reboot now includes Anne Hathaway

O

cean’s 8 is the latest ensemble film to get an all-female reboot, and it’s shaping up to have quite the cast, including Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Rihanna, Anne H a t h away, N o r a Lum (a.k.a. rapper Awkwafina) and, of course, Sandra Bullock, who will be leading the group, confirms Deadline.

The film will be directed

by Gary Ross (The Hunger Games), and will follow the original and George Clooney follow-up about a group of cons who attempt a massive heist.

“It’s a pretty similar tone. You know, Steven Soderbergh and I are incredibly close friends, and we would not have done this if we weren’t. I don’t think he would’ve wanted anyone to do it if we weren’t,” Ross said to Slashfilm in June. “This is very much an extension and a continuation.”

With the aid of a Zimmer frame, Ait Said makes tentative steps along the hospital corridor

With his leg in a cast and aided by a Zimmer frame the Frenchman has been walking along the hospital corridors and posing for photos.

Ait-Said was visited in his bed by Bruno Grandi, president of the Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG), with the pair smiling for a picture.

On Sunday, just a day after suffering the gruesome his injury, Said posted a Facebook video from his hospital bed thanking people for the outpouring of support and pledging to return to the sport eventually. Said underwent surgery on Saturday night to repair the tibia he fractured while trying to land on vault.

The image of his leg bent grotesquely at a nearly 90 degree angle went viral immediately.

He even suffered more agony after being dropped by ambulance staff as he was carried away from the gymnastics arena.

Said praised his French team-mates, some of whom managed to qualify for event finals later this week despite being visibly rattled after watching Said leave the Rio Olympic Arena on a stretcher.

Gros Islet, Aug 11 (PTI): Overnight thunderstorms and incessant rain washed out the morning session of the third day of the third cricket Test between India and West Indies here today.

USA continue to dominate; Ledecky claims third gold

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 11 (Agencies): Katie Ledecky swam a sensational anchor leg to claim her third gold medal of the Rio Olympics as the United States won the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay on Wednesday, extending their lead at the top of the medals tally. Ledecky overhauled Australia’s Tamsin Cook to take her team home in 7 minutes 43.03 seconds, beating the Aussies into second place with Canada third.

China’s Ding Ning won the women’s Olympic table tennis title on day five, beating her team boss Li Xiaoxia to avenge

the bitter defeat she suffered to her compatriot in London 2012.

Four years after losing the title in acrimonious circumstances when she became embroiled in a row with the referee, Ding, nicknamed ‘big baby’, finally won the gold she had hankered after so dearly.

Elsewhere, beefy Kazakh swimmer Dmitriy Balandin put the former Soviet state on the Olympic map by winning his country’s first gold medal in the sport. The 21-year-old, who resembles Dolph Lundgren’s character Ivan Drago in the movie Rocky IV, roared home from lane eight to win the men’s

200m breaststroke title, surprising even himself.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet that I’m an Olympic champion,” Balandin told reporters in Rio. At the end of day five, United States topped the medals tally with 32 medals (11 Gold, 11 Silver, 10 Bronze), followed by China on 25 (10 Gold, 6 Silver,9 Bronze).

Japan on 18 medals (6 Gold, 1 Silver, 11 Bronze) and Australia on 13 medals (5 Gold,3 Silver, 5 Bronze) overtook Hungary on 7 medals (5 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze) to claim the third and fourth spot respectively.

Saina Nehwal

NEW DELHI, Aug 11 (Agencies): Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu has emerged as the only winners for India’s Olympic contingent on Thursday in Rio de Janeiro, marking the start of badminton at the Games with a facile win in the women’s individual competition. Nehwal beat local hope Vicente Lohaynny 21-17, 21-17 in her opening Group C match.

Sindhu brushed aside her opponent Laura Sarosi of Hungary 21-8, 21-9.

Saina got a tough competition from the Brazilian shuttler. Lohaynny being 5-9 down, fought back levelling the game at 10-10. saina just edged past the mid-game interval with a one point lead.

The 20-year-old local hope then fought neck-to-neck with the former world No.1.

At 17-17 level, the Indian took four points on the trot and clinched the first game 21-17 in a well-battled 20 minutes.

At the Olympic Hockey Centre in Deodoro Park, India’s progression to the men’s

sports

hockey quarter-finals were put on hold for another day, following a 1-2 defeat to the world No 2 Netherlands.

However, the exits of former boxer Shiva Thapa and the last of India’s two female archers added a pall of gloom to the mood.

Thapa, a former world No 3, was beaten 0-3 by Cuba’s Robeisy Ramirez in the men’s bantamweight 56kg competition. That leaves the other two Indian pugilists, Vikas Krishan and Manoj Kumar to contest the pre-quarters of their respective categories.

The last of India’s archers exited the Rio Olympics within 20 minutes of each other, losing in the individual women’s pre-quarters. Deepika Kumari was beaten 0-6 by Chinese Taipeir’s Ya-Ting Tan and Bombayla Devi 2-6 by Mexico’s Alejandra Valencia.

Though the men’s hockey team lost to Netherlands, there was further proof that this is a squad on the ascendancy. A goal-less first half during which India’s defensive line was exceptional - was

followed by goals conceded in the 32nd and 54th minutes, leading up to a frenetic last few seconds during which India missed five penalty corner chances to draw level with the Dutch. Pertinently, India never faltered in intensity and the Olympics knockouts remain within their grasp.

The news from India’s other badminton events was disappointing, with both the women’s and men’s doubles pairs beaten in straight games.

First, Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa lost their Group A match to Japan’s Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi 15-21, 10-21. The No 1 seeds wrapped up the win in just 38 minutes, sending Gutta and Ponnapa into their next match against the Dutch pair of Eefje Muskens and Selena Piek on Friday needing to win to remain in contention for the next round.

Later, Sumeeth Reddy and Manu Atri were beaten by Indonesia’s Hendra Setiawan and Mohammad Ashan 21-18 (in 18 minutes), 21-13 (in 14 minutes).

Hockey: Dutch beat India 2-1 India had been excellent in defence during the first half, with goalkeeper PR Sreejesh saving several attempted shots and the defenders keeping the pressure on the Dutch. The back line, in particular, was adept at reading the Dutch attack and repeatedly quelled shots at goal.

The second half, however, saw a familiar pattern play out.

Netherlands went ahead 1-0 in the 32nd minute when Rogier Hofman tapped on a rebound, but six minutes later the scores were leveled courtesy a feisty VR Raghunath penalty corner

strike. Two brilliant saves from Sreejesh were followed by a converted penalty corner in the 54th minute by Mink van der Weerden.

With 2:30 left on the clock, Ramandeep Singh fired in a penalty corner but the ball was lost in the huddle in front of the Dutch goal.

The Netherlands’ defence held their nerve to repel whatever India had left in the tank, which led to a harrowing final few moments of the match.

Five PCs made for riveting viewing, but the result left India to fight another day.
