DIMAPUR, JUL 31 (NPN): Nagaland chief secretar y, Temjen Toy, Tuesday described the present situation in Nagaland as an emergency-like situation, with various district headquarters including the state capital Kohima wreaked by landslides that threaten to snap off road links.

According to DIPR, Toy said this while deliberating on the overall situation in the state at an emergency meeting with high officials on Tuesday, to take stock of the alarming situation arising out of unremitting monsoon rain in the state.

The chief secretary asked the senior officials to put more efforts to ensure that major roads connecting all district headquarters were not completely cut off. He also advised departments to ensure that at least one life-line should be maintained to connect the towns. Toy also discussed about impending danger of shortage of essential commodities and fuel.

Reviewing the road connectivity between Kohima and Dimapur, the chief secretary urged the PWD officers to deploy adequate manpower and machineries to carry out restoration works on war footing to tackle the fury of nature.

Gov greets Aos, Changs DIMAPUR, JUL 31 (NPN): Nagaland governor, PB Acharya, has extended greetings to the Ao community on the occasion of Tsungremong and to the Chang community on the occasion of Naknyulüm festival.

Acharya also encouraged the Aos to safeguard and promote their rich culture and traditions through the festival.

DIMAPUR, JUL 31 (NPN): Security along the inter-state border with Assam, particularly the two main entry points to Dimapur-- Dillai and New Field check gates, have been stepped up to thwart influx of illegal immigrants to Nagaland following the release of second draft of NRC. When contacted Commissioner of Police Dimapur, Limasunep Jamir said police and district administration were keeping a close watch of the bordering points. On Tuesday, police along with district administration officials were seen checking documents of those entering the state. So far there has been no detection of illegal immigrants entering the state, police sources said.

Police personnel posted along the inter-state boundaries have been asked to maintain a strict vigil over the situation.

A column of IRB personnel were also deployed to assist in border patrolling.

It may be pointed out that the Home ministry had also directed all the neighbouring states of Assam to step up its security apparatus particularly in the border areas.

Manipur CSOs to KVYO assists in traffic regulation Tripartite agreement inked for augmentation of water supply to Kma begin 24-hr strike Correspondent

DIMAPUR, JUL 31 (NPN): A tripartite agreement on augmentation of water supply to Kohima was signed among Poilwa and Khonoma villages and the State government at State Banquet Hall in Kohima on Tuesday.

Speaking on the occasion, chief minister Neiphiu Rio said signing of the tripartite agreement was a red letter day for all.

He expressed his gratitude to the villagers of Poilwa and Khonoma for being large-hearted and extending support and cooperation to provide water from Teupuiki and Dzupfu rivers.

Stating that signing of the tripartite agreement was a historic moment for the government and the people of Kohima town in particular, he added that this action would send

a message to the whole of Nagaland to be cooperative and supportive and also contribute and participate in developing “our State”.

The chief minister recalled that in 1977, the population of Kohima was 21547, which jumped to 1,23,114 in 2011 and was further expected to cross three lakh by 2050.

He said the demand for water would continue to rise and that after 20 years 30 million litres per day would be required, which the water supplied from Jotsoma and Southern villages would not be able to meet. Expressing his happiness at the two villages burying their difference and for signing the agreement, Rio remarked that it was now the responsibility of the government to find the resources to

bring water to Kohima.

He added that it was a challenge for all to leave aside their differences and resolve local issues at the village levels.

Rio said he looked forward for continued support from both the villages in working together to make the dream come true.

“It is God’s gift and it does not belong to anybody. And when we put these things in good use, it will benefit everybody – the government, villages and the people,” he added.

Concluding his speech, he thanked the two villages again for resolving their differences and signing the historic agreement, which would fulfil the dream of people living in Kohima.

IMPHAL, JUL 31: Civil society organisations have decided to go ahead with the proposed 24-hour general strike against Centre’s alleged intention to extend Article 371 (A) to Manipur even as state government decided to conduct Assembly session on August 10 to discuss the burning issues of the state including the Naga peace accord.

The 24-hour general strike jointly called by United Committee Manipur, All Manipur United Club Organization and Committee of Civil Society Kangleipak would commence on the intervening night of July 31, 2018 and August 1, 2018.

“The strike-call was not against any particular community or tribe. It is against divide and rule policy of India government,” a leader of the one of the CSOs said.

He alleged that government at the Centre was trying to create disharmony among the different communities living in the region. Meanwhile, various CSOs have announced their (Cont’d on p-8) supports to the general strike.

Sr AAG denies ACAUT, PSAN assertions DIMAPUR, JUL 31 (NPN): Responding to the demand of ACAUT and Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland’s (PSAN) over the alleged illegal appointments of 706 persons , Senior additional advocate general (AAG) of Nagaland K. Sema pointed out that he had sought dismissal of the writ petition filed

by ACAUT and Nitoka V Swu in Kohima Bench of Gauhati High Court seeking termination of 655 appointments and requisitioning of 706 posts to Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) under various grounds.

First, he asserted that the petition by ACAUT and PSAN was defective and liable to be dismissed as it sought termination of 655 appointments made in 25 State government departments through a single petition.

He also pointed out

that being an unregistered body, ACAUT was “nonjuristic person” having no locus in law to challenge the appointments made by the government. Further, he said Swu was also not an aggrieved person as per law and also failed to disclose as to whether he possessed the requisite eligibility criteria to be appointed against any of the post(s) to which appointments had been made.

Sema also claimed the petition was also defective for “non-joinder of necessary parties” as those persons whose services were sought to be terminated had not been impleaded in the case.

The AAG also rejected claims of ACAUT and PSAN that he had stated before the court, that 706 posts mentioned in the writ petition were all nonsanctioned posts, following which the organisations

sought clarification from the State government. He denied that any mention was ever made before the court that the 706 posts were non-sanctioned posts.

He said the court was told that the 706 appointments sought to be terminated and requisitioned to NPSC were not only made in different departments, but even the nature of appointments and the present status of services of the appointees were different. K. Sema also clarified that filing of a single petition seeking termination of the services of such a huge number of employees en bloc was inherently defective.

Sema said the court was also told that when the petitioner(s) had failed to impugn the policy decisions of the government and the order regularising and absorbing the service of the employees, they

NNC ‘Parent Body’ suspends Nagi DIMAPUR: NNC (Parent Body) through its media cell Tuesday said that the Central Executive Council (CEC) including regional authorities at an emergency meeting on July 30, 2018 in Dimapur unanimously resolved to suspend general secretary V Nagi indefinitely for breach of NNC Yehzabo.

Levelling various charges against Nagi, the media cell accused Nagi of “utilizing local media” and “brazenly insulted and dishonored the office of NNC President in particular and NNC as a national political institution of the Nagas”.

The media cell also accused Nagi of abusing the power and authority bestowed upon him by the “national workers” through the Yehzabo. It said Nagi issued media statements mentioning names and lifting signatures of co-workers many of whom were not informed putting the safety and security of many “national workers” at risk.

According to media cell, when the official letter reporting the “childish and reckless behavior” of Nagi reached the office of the president, a prompt request was made to other Naga leaders pleading for him to continue as co-convener in the IndoNaga dialogue. Media cell stated that although Nagi departed for New Delhi, he remained hidden from other Naga leaders and did not join the Naga delegation in the dialogue. Going against the

president’s order, media cell said he continued to claim the co-convenership of the WC, NNPGs when Toshi Walling had replaced him in the WC as co-convener endorsed by the CEC meeting on May 6, 2018.

Asserting that WC, NNPGs, and the government of India have understood the core issues and significant steps have been taken without compromising basic historical rights of Nagas, the media cell said V Nagi had however pointed an accusatory finger at all Naga leaders presently in Delhi. “In the process, he has failed to inspire us as a leader. He has fallen short of our expectations,” it said.

Therefore, it said that the president, in consultation with the CEC members, suspended V Nagi, general secretary, indefinitely on July 30, 2018.

Media cell stated that all rank and file of NNC (Parent Body) remained confident that Nagi would “introspect on his personality traits, cultivate a positive outlook, create space for love understanding, acceptance and comradeship in his heart thereby re-establish himself as a leader of men.”

Meanwhile, NNC Parent Body affirmed that Toshi Walling, CEC member would continue to represent the group as co-convener and assist WC, NNPGs in the ongoing political dialogue with the government of India.

NPF youth wing rejoinder to NDPP youth organization Longleng SHG and field workers training DIMAPUR: NPF Central Youth Wing has issued a rejoinder a day after NDPP youth organization attacked leader of opposition, T.R. Zeliang over the issue of illegal immigrants.

In the rejoinder, the youth wing through its press and media wing said that “irresponsible statement” of NDPP youth organization has shown the frustrated NDPP led PDA four months old government in running the affair of the state through their “negativism and ulterior motive in handling the state affair”.

The NPF central youth wing said that the youth organization should not deviate the core issue by turning the appeal made by leader of opposition, TR Zeliang into an irrelevant personal issue.

The statement said that Zeliang had only raised the pertinent issue due to the K

release of National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam and its likely impact to the state of Nagaland since influx cannot be controlled by checking of Inner Line Permit (ILP) alone.

It was therefore, essential on the part of the government to deploy additional administrative officers and forces to the border areas, but “the uncertainty on the fate of NDPP and the overwhelming anxiety of its party members stemming from the incompetence of its leader Neiphiu Rio has not only clouded the judgment but also veiled the perception of NDPP workers”, the youth wing alleged.

The youth wing alleged that NDPP’s habit of shifting blames to others and in viewing issues from the wrong perspective has once again manifested in the public domain.

With such “immaturity

attitude” of the NDPP, the NPF central youth wing said how can the general public expect solution to social problems leave aside the infiltration of illegal immigrants into Nagaland.

The youth wing questioned NDPP that if it believed that former chief minister, TR Zeliang was responsible for non-effective implementation of ILP during his tenure of four years, then what has the present chief minister, Neiphiu Rio done in streamlining the ILP system in the State during his 11 years as chief minister “during which the rarest of killings, arrest incidents were much higher than during the 4 years rule of TR Zeliang.”

The NPF Central youth wing alleged that chief minister, Neiphiu Rio did not pay heed to the contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 when civil societ-

ies, intellectuals including the NPF party and leader of opposition questioned him on the decision taken by his Cabinet on June 5, 2018.

It also attacked the silence of the chief minister on his controversial statement on Naga integration issue declared at New Delhi.

The youth wing also questioned the chief minister of maintaining silent on the four lane road from Dimapur-Kohima National Highway despite clear indication in the contract agreement that the State government was supposed to take up the deteriorating road-condition of the existing two-lane with the concern contractors.

In view of the above, the youth wing concluded that the deafening silence of the chief minister was due to the reason that there was no financial benefits.

The NPF central

youth wing further demanded that the NDPP youth organization and the chief minister to come out with a clear cut roadmap on how to uproot the chronic problem of illegal immigrants in the Naga society instead of taking it to the arena of political parties at this crucial time.

“The Government of the day should act instead of simply issuing advisories. We should look at the prevailing burning situation and hammer out a solution instead of adding more fuel to the burning house,” the release added.

Therefore, NPF central youth wing has condemned the irresponsible statement of NDPP Youth Organization and asked NDPP to not divert important issues into personal attacks since the issue was for the people and not for any particular political party.

Don’t take any coercive action over draft NRC: SC

New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI): The Supreme Court Tuesday said the publication of the complete draft NRC of Assam cannot be the basis of any coercive action against anyone since it is merely a draft.

It also directed the Centre to formulate standard operating procedure (SOP) to deal with claims and objections.

The apex court directed the Centre to place the SOP before it for approval and said it should be fair and giving reasonable opportunity to contest exclusion.

A bench of justices Ranjan Gogoi and R F Nariman said the Centre should place the SOP before it by August 16 and that a local registrar has to give notice to those who have filed claims and objections, and give them reasonable opportunity for hearing.

At the outset, Assam National Register of Citizens (NRC) coordinator Prateek Hajela placed before the court its status

report giving details of publication of the draft NRC Monday.

To this the bench asked what was the future course of action.

Hajela told the court that the claims and objections with regard to inclusion and exclusion in the NRC could be filed from August 30 to September 28.

He said till August 7, the draft NRC is being made available to the people to see whether their names are there or not.

Attorney General K K Venugopal , appearing for the Centre, said the ministry concerned is willing to formulate modalities of the SOP to deal with the process of claims and objections and that courts should direct that no coercive action shall be taken till equal opportunity is given to all.

The bench asked Venugopal to place the SOP before it for approval.

The second and final

draft of the NRC, which is a list of the state’s citizens, was published yesterday with over 2.89 crore names out of 3.29 crore applicants in Assam. Names of around 40.07 lakh applicants did not figure in the document.

The first draft of the NRC for Assam was published in December end as per the top court’s direction. It was published on the intervening night of December 31 and January 1 where names of 1.9 crore people out of the 3.29 crore applicants were incorporated.

Assam, which had faced influx of people from Bangladesh since the early 20th century, is the only state having an NRC, which was first prepared in 1951.

The top court had earlier said that the claims of those citizens, whose names do not figure in the draft NRC for Assam published

by December 31 last year, would be scrutinised and included in the subsequent list, if found genuine.

NIA raids Cong legislator’s residence in Manipur Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jul 31: National Investigation Agency (NIA) team continued its raid at the residence of sitting Congress MLA Yamthong Haokip on Tuesday.

Haokip, who is representing Saikul Assembly Constituency of Kangpokpi district, is reportedly in a hospital in Imphal for medical treatment.

A team of Guwahati based NIA conducted the raid in connection with arms missing case in which 56 pistols with 58 magazines went missing from the 2nd Manipur Rifles (MR) garrison armoury.

The raid resumed around 10 am Tuesday and continued till noon. No outsiders including media persons were allowed to enter the house during the raid. The officials also refused to disclose the details if any recovery was made during the raid.

However, a highly reliable source said that at least five pistols suspected to be among enlisted missing 56 pistols were recovered on the

first day of the raid.

The arms missing case came to light after commandant of the 2nd Manipur Rifles lodged a complaint with the Imphal police station. The missing weapons were part of a consignment of 570 9mm pistols purchased by the Manipur government on September 11, 2014 for the state’s security forces.

The police had already arrested five suspects involved in the case, including two personnel of the MR and a cadre of a Kuki militant. They were recently re-arrested by the NIA. Taking serious note of the case, chief minister N Biren Singh in April had announced to hand over the case to NIA. Later, the Manipur government suspended four of its senior police officers, including an IPS officer.

The suspended police officers include a sub-divisional police officer (SDPO), CO in-charge of 3rd India Reserve Battalion (IRB), Additional SP Jiribam and a Superintendent of Police Kamjong district.

Manipur youth gets death Two dead in second wave of floods in Assam sentence in rape, murder case and a post-mortem was conducted in the presence of a magistrate. The reports concluded sexual assault and death from strangulation. Charges against David were framed on July 5, 2018, after examining 21 witnesses during the course of the hearing.

Terming the case, rarest of the rare, the Judge said, “There is no mitigating factor to deter in other alternative punishment. In my considered view, maximum punishment should be awarded and it should be an eye opener for the society at large in order to prevent such brutal and heinous crime in our society. This court has delivered justice to the victim as well as to the society through earnest efforts made by the investigation agency�.

The court also recommended for awarding the compensation of Rs. 25 lakhs to mother of the victim as per NALSA.

ber of people who lost their lives in floods this year in the state rose to 36, including three in landslides triggered by the deluge. The ASDMA said over 47,800 people are affected at present in Dhemaji, Golaghat and Sivasa-

Nagpur, Jul 31 (PTI): Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb Tuesday said that there was no demand for a citizen’s register like the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in his state.

He said it is not even a sensitive issue in Assam, where the final draft of the NRC was published yesterday with over 2.89 crore names out of the total 3.29 crore applicants in the north-eastern state.

Deb, who visited Nagpur Tuesday to meet RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, said there was no demand for the NRC in Tripura. “Everything is in order in Tripura and everyone has valid papers. Hence, it is not an issue for us,� said Deb. “I don’t feel it is even a sensitive issue in Assam and its chief minister is capable of handling the situation,� he said to a query.

Some people in politics having “foreign mindset� were trying to vitiate the atmosphere, Deb alleged.

The NRC contains names of Indian citizens of Assam.

Shillo n g, J u l 3 1 (PTI): Meghalaya Chief Minister and NPP president Conrad K Sangma Tuesday filed nomination papers from South Tura assembly constituency, the by-election to which would be held on August 23.

NRC issue: Mamata warns of civil war Vijayan’s proposed trip to US faces opposition

New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today warned that exclusion of 4 million people from National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam could lead to “bloodbath” and a “civil war” in the country, which was strongly denounced by BJP president Amit Shah.

She also accused the Modi government of trying to make millions of people “stateless” in Assam for political gains.

However, Shah, rejecting Banerjee’s charges, sought to project the NRC in Assam as a national security issue and rights of Indians. He also asked all opposition parties to clarify whether they support NRC or not.

The attack on the government by Banerjee and several opposition parties came, a day after names of over 4 million people in Assam were excluded from the draft NRC list, prepared following a longdrawn process to identify illegal Bangladeshis living in the state.

The NRC is being done with a political motive. We will not let this happen. They (BJP) are trying to divide the people.

The situation cannot be tolerated. There will be a civil war, blood bath in the country,” Banerjee told a

Mamata Banerjee (PTI) conclave here. The issue rocked the parliament as well. Separately, a number of political parities held a protest outside the parliament, accusing the BJP of trying to divide the society and making Indian citizens become refugees in their own country.

At a press conference, Shah asserted that the NDA government was determined to throw out illegal Bangladeshis from the country and that NRC will be implemented “to the last full stop”. He also asked all political parties to clarify their stand on NRC. The Congress also said the BJP of playing politics on Assam’s NRC and accused Shah of deliberately giving a “mischievous twist” to the issue. Congress senior spokesperson Anand Sharma said the BJP and the government should behave responsibly on the issue in national interest and unity.

He said the issue that the Congress is highlighting is that a large number of Indians have been rendered as refugees in their own country and this was unacceptable. Joining the row, BSP president Mayawati condemned the exclusion of over 40 lakh people and demanded an all-party meeting on it.

“By depriving 40 lakh people from religious and linguistic minorities living there for years of their citizenship, the BJP governments both at the Centre and in Assam have achieved the target of their narrow and divisive politics,” she said in a press release.

Mayawati said it would be very difficult to contain the “frenzy” caused by the publication of the draft NRC, adding the all-party meeting was needed to work out “remedial” measures.

Shah, on his part, said the process for NRC, whose

mandate is to identify illegal immigrants, was started in 2005, when the UPA was in power, but it lacked the courage “to throw out illegal Bangladeshis”.

“The BJP is committed to the national security and safety of its citizens.

This is our top priority.

All other parties should clear their stand,” he said, also condemning Banerjee for her warning that there could be civil war and bloodbath.

In her comments, Banerjee accused the government of trying to make millions of people “stateless” in Assam for political gains.

She also dared the BJP to try implementing NRC in West Bengal and said it can never come to power in the state.

“The BJP has the audacity to say that they would implement NRC in Bengal and thinks only they and their supporters would stay in India and rest will have to leave the country,” she said, asserting that the “present situation” cannot go on. The firebrand leader also appealed to the all communities to build up a momentum against the decision of the government.

“No one can give us direction. This is not the politics of India. Indian politics is about tolerance,” she said.

LS passes Insolvency Code amendment Bill New Delhi, Jul 31 (IANS): A Bill to amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016, allowing home buyers to be treated as financial creditors, was passed in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday amid allegations from opposition parties that some changes were intended to “help just one industry”.

Finance Minister Piyush Goyal said the aim of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Second Amendment) Bill was to ensure that all cases are led to resolution instead of liquidation. He said the Insolvency Law Committee submitted its report on March 26 and every recommendation of the committee was accepted and brought into the amendment.

The Bill that seeks

Piyush Goyal (file) to replace an ordinance brought by the government earlier this year was introduced by Goyal on July

23. The Minister said the government brought the ordinance to expedite the resolution process.

“We wanted that the benefits (of committee recommendations) are quickly brought into the resolution process. I feel that the focus of the government should be on resolution, not liquidation. Liquidation should be our last option. And longer the delay in the process, greater are the chances of job loss,” Goyal said in his reply during the discussion on the Bill in the Lok Sabha.

He added the necessity to bring the ordinance was also to protect the interest of home buyers who would now be treated as financial creditors.

“It is the responsibility of the government to protect the interests of home buyers and that’s why it was important to bring the ordinance.

However, all the provisions are prospective in nature, not retrospective.

So there is no question of bringing it to benefit any particular individual or industry,” he said.

Digital payments to be trillion-dollar market by 2023

New Delhi, Jul 31 (IANS): The digital payments market in India is set to become a trilliondollar industry in the next five years, led by growth in mobile payments which are slated to rise to $190 billion by 2023 from $10 billion in 2017-18, the NITI Aayog said on Tuesday.

This would present huge business opportunities for players in the digital space, according to the NITI Aayog’s “Digital Payment: Trends, Issues and Opportunities” report released on Tuesday.

According to the study, growth momentum of digital payments in volume and value sustained post demonetization with “spectacular growth” in new products like Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

Pinarayi Vijayan (file) gies change!!.” Chittilappilly whose group companies owns premier leisure water parks, electronic and electrical appliances, textile units in Kerala and outside, had a few years taken on the militant Kerala trade unions by single-handedly unloading things from a truck, after headload workers demanded hefty rates for the work.

The next reaction came from M.T. Sulekha, widow of late Congress veteran G. Karthikeyan.

While wishing him a successful trip, she however cautioned Vijayan,

that he will have to be prepared to answer so many questions on what happened there.

“When I returned from Mayo Clinic with my husband, his office (Karthikeyan was the Speaker of the Kerala Assembly) had to answer several questions that came from an activist through the RTI window and it included questions like which medical professional here asked that the Speaker should go to US for treatment, who all accompanied the Speaker, which all countries were visited and such questions.

“So you should be prepared to keep a list of all what you do, as there will be such questions, when you are back,” wrote the retired college professor. Ahead of the 2001 assembly elections, which the Congress-led United Democratic Front won, one big campaign issue was a photo, captioned “Revolutionaries in a UK hospital”, showing veteran Left leader V.S.Achuthanandan lying in a hospital bed in Britain with the then Chief Minister E.K. Nayanar visiting him.

EGI welcomes draft data protection bill New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI): The Editors Guild of India (EGI) today welcomed the draft data protection bill, noting that the provisions for journalists in it broadly allow media professionals to use sensitive as well as non-sensitive personal data while discharging their duties.

Amid a sharp rise in data breaches, a new legislation last week proposed taking explicit consent of individuals before sensitive personal information such as religious or political beliefs, sexual orientation and biometric information, is processed.

The draft of the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2018 -- which is based on the recommendations of the government -- constituted high-level panel set up last year and headed by Justice B N Srikrishna -- restricts and imposes conditions on the cross-border transfer of personal data, and suggests setting up of the Data Protection Authority of India to prevent any misuse of personal information.

The Editors Guild of India, in a statement, said it welcomes the specific provisions for journalists in the draft Personal Data Protection Bill 2018 as they broadly allow media professionals to use sensitive as well as non-sensitive personal data while discharging their duties.

“By placing data gathered for ‘journalistic purposes’ in the exempt list under the proposed law, the committee, headed

by Justice B N Srikrishna, has also allowed journalists to collect, review and preserve personal data for use in news reports without seeking the consent of individuals.

“However, the Srikrishna draft says journalists will have to adhere to the code of ethics prescribed by the Press Council of India or ‘any media self-regulatory organisation,” it said.

The Guild’s Code of Ethics provides for broad norms and it will also be amended soon for greater clarity, the statement said.

The Guild also endorses the Srikrishna Committee’s suggestion that the Press Council of India and other media watchdogs should incorporate provisions for data privacy in their code of ethics so that the exemption provided to journalists does not lead to undue violation of the data protection rights of individuals, it said.

The Srikrishna panel submitted its report on data protection as also the draft of the bill to Union Minister for Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad, wrapping up nearly one year of deliberations.

Fresh FIR filed against tainted NGO in Bihar Muzaffarpur, Jul 31 (AGENCIES): A fresh FIR has been registered against Brijesh Thakur, the main accused in the Muzaffarpur shelter home case, following the “disappearance” of 11 women from the premises of a self-help group run by his NGO. Thakur is in judicial custody in connection with mental, physical and sexual exploitation of the girls residing at Balika Grih, Muzaffarpur.

A fresh FIR was registered against him on Monday evening by Assistant Director of the Social Welfare Department Devesh Kumar Sharma in connection with the “disappearance” of 11 women from the premises of a self-help group run by the same NGO – Seva Sankalp Evam Vikas Samiti, Mahila Thana incharge Jyoti Kumari said.

After the sex scandal had surfaced last month and the NGO was blacklisted, the condition of other homes run by the NGO was reviewed. During the review, 11 women supposed to have been staying in the home for the self-help group in the Chhoti Kalyani area here were found missing, official sources said.

There was no communication on record from the NGO to the Social Welfare Department about their whereabouts, they said.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jul 31 (IANS) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s proposed 17-daylong treatment, at state expense at US’ famed Mayo Clinic for an undisclosed ailment has led to a number of adverse reactions from across the spectrum.

According to Kerala’s General Administration Department, Vijayan, accompanied by his wife Kamala Vijayan, will leave for the US on August 19 and return on September 6, with the entire expenses to be met by the state exchequer.

The first reaction came from Kerala’s foremost industrialist who is also one of the highest tax payers.

Kochuouseph Chittilappilly wrote in his Facebook page on Tuesday: “Nothing personal, but while reading this news I remembered about the days when we had labour strike at V-Guard years back... The CITU people then called me ‘Petty Burshua ... American cheruppu nakki..’ At that time I was only a small scale industrialist, having only an old Lamby scooter.

Nature hits back

limatologists believe that the reasons for the unusual heat, humidity and rains are due to man made factors such as deforestation, emission of CFC gas and other atmospheric pollutants. Indeed ,no other issue confronts mankind as dangerously as global warming or simply putting it, the startling and shocking increase of around 0.17 Centigrade in the earth’s weather temperature as recorded in 1997. These combined create what is known as ‘greenhouse effect’ on the planet earth as the temperature rise and gets trapped within the earth’s atmosphere. The global warming due to the greenhouse effect has led to unusual melting of the ice caps in the polar regions and the resultant effect has been a rise in the ocean level. Needless to say, the cycle of evaporation and condensation and rain has increased as witnessed in recent months in south America, China and even Britain where floods have caused widespread havoc. Man’s contribution has pushed up the to somewhere a little over 14 degrees Celsius. Monsoon harbingers both good and bad tidings in India and Asia. Currently monsoon rains are like a deluge over India where cities like Mumbai are inundated and normal life almost grinding to a halt. The north east also is facing a serious threat to road communications especially in the hill states of Arunachal Pradesh, some parts of Assam, Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram. The torrential rains pouring down over the hilly areas have caused landslides and mudslides and snapping of road links between various places. Several people have died after being swept away by flash floods in the hilly states including Nagaland. The rains can barely suppress the summer heat and humidity which has recorded high temperature in Dimapur during the last week of July with the mercury recording as high as 37ºC which was at least three degrees higher than in north India. The heat and humidity has been unbearable and made worse by regular and long duration of load shedding. The weather condition even in India has been marked by an unusually heavy monsoon rain in most parts of the country. These are sufficient indications that there is definitely something unusual about the weather conditions in recent years. Flood in the north east accompanied with landslides serve as reminder that the days are getting wetter and hotter. Of interest for the people of this part of the world remains the fact, that deforestation over the past fifteen years has led to far reaching changes which has permanently damaged the environment of this region which plays an important part in the nature greenhouse effect. Deforestation has already shorn off moisture retention of the roots. As a consequence, the greenery around can hardly hold the soil and so under a heavy downpour, landslides and flash floods occur. The unusual rains are becoming a phenomenon and the world has to brace for a sudden rise of temperature in the near future. This will be the ultimate manifestation of the move towards a global warming and melting of glacial ice caps. Ultimately, there will be more floods as ocean levels also rise. For the moment, as Nagaland and other states face the prospect of a monsoon calamity and states need to take adequate measures to prevent loss of life and prepare contingency plans.

DailyDevotion Becoming Entirely His Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. —James 1:4 Many of us appear to be all right in general, but there are still some areas in which we are careless and lazy; it is not a matter of sin, but the remnants of our carnal life that tend to make us careless. Carelessness is an insult to the Holy Spirit. We should have no carelessness about us either in the way we worship God, or even in the way we eat and drink.

Not only must our relationship to God be right, but the outward expression of that relationship must also be right. Ultimately, God will allow nothing to escape; every detail of our lives is under His scrutiny. God will bring us back in countless ways to the same point over and over again. And He never tires of bringing us back to that one point until we learn the lesson, because His purpose is to produce the finished product. It may be a problem arising from our impulsive nature, but again and again, with the most persistent patience, God has brought us back to that one particular point. Or the problem may be our idle and wandering thinking, or our independent nature and self-interest. Through this process, God is trying to impress upon us the one thing that is not entirely right in our lives.

We have been having a wonderful time in our studies over the revealed truth of God’s redemption, and our hearts are perfect toward Him. And His wonderful work in us makes us know that overall we are right with Him. “Let patience have its perfect work….” The Holy Spirit speaking through James said, “Now let your patience become a finished product.” Beware of becoming careless over the small details of life and saying, “Oh, that will have to do for now.” Whatever it may be, God will point it out with persistence until we become entirely His.

F

inally, the much-anticipated “complete” draft of National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published in Assam on July 30. And much to the relief of both the Centre and State government, the day passed off peacefully with no untoward incident being reported from any corner of the State despite fears from many quarters indicating otherwise.

While of the 3.29 crore applicants, 2.89 crore made it to the complete draft, the remaining 40 lakh didn’t.

The publication of the draft NRC in Assam has managed to draw “national” media’s attention too, but for all the wrong reasons.

For, if one is to follow them, the following perceptions emerge: i) lakh of immigrant population will be hounded out of Assam following the NRC update; ii) NRC is being updated purely with this end in mind and iii) the Central and State governments are updating it. And the likes of Mamata Banerjee and Congress president Rahul Gandhi (though it was during Congress regime that the process started) with their utterly ridiculous – if not provocative – comments have only reinforced such a perception among many in rest of the country. The media and political leaders may have their own agenda in hyping fears, but, nothing can be farther from truth.

Agreed, the update may not be foolproof or even desirable in the backdrop of absence of any strategy as to what to do with those unable to prove their citizen-

NRC in Assam: Truth vs myth

ship status. But, none can deny that it was one of the most rigorously carried out exercise where applicants were required to prove their residency in the State prior to 1971 or their legacy. So, it’s unfair to attribute any motive, especially because the entire exercise was carried out at the directive and under total supervision of Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, while the implications of non-inclusion of approximately 40 lakh individuals are yet to be fully felt, updating of NRC in Assam could open a virtual floodgate of demands from other States and groups seeking similar registry to insulate them from “outsiders”. And there are already enough indications towards this end with groups in Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura clamouring for similar legal protection. Manipur had already taken a lead with its Legislative Assembly recently passing the controversial the Manipur People’s Bill, 2018 that fixed 1951 as the base year for distinguishing the indigenous from non-indigenous. This led to violence in Jiribam area few days back where a sizeable non-indigenous population reside and who are opposing it on the ground that when Manipur achieved Statehood in 1972, how 1951 can be considered a base year.

For the uninitiated, Assam is the only State in the country to have an NRC that was prepared based on the census of 1951 and had names of the entire residents

But, after widespread

violence in Barpeta in which four persons lost their lives in July that year, the Tarun Gogoi Government immediately called off the project.

The NRC update exercise was then put on cold storage till the Supreme Court took up hearing on a public interest litigation filed by Assam Public Works (APW), an NGO, on July 20, 2009. The APW had sought directives from the apex court to the Central and State governments to correct Assam’s electoral rolls as the organisation alleged that names of 41 lakh illegal immigrants had been included in them. It was then that both the Centre and State government told the Supreme Court that since the NRC was being updated, the matter would be automatically taken care of as those names not included in the NRC would not be included in the electoral rolls too.

And that was how the NRC update came under the apex court’s monitoring.

Subsequently, the AASU was made a party to the case. The Supreme Court, after hearing all parties to the case, then issued a directive in 2013 that the NRC be updated. And accordingly, the process was initiated in 2014 and enrolment started in 2015. The court had set post midnight of 31st December 2017 as deadline for publication of the first NRC draft after constant follow-ups with the authorities concerned – Registrar General of India (RGI) and Office of the State Coordinator of NRC, Assam.

Earlier, the NRC update had

missed the deadline of 31st December 2015. Though both the RGI and NRC State Coordinator had sought extension of the deadline on more than one occasion, the apex court had stuck to its gun with the deadline of post midnight 31st December 2017 for publication of the first part draft of NRC. And the rest is history.

At the stroke of 12 on New Year’s Day, fate of 1.90 crore individuals were decided in the first part NRC draft, while the fate of remaining 1.39 crore that hanged in balance was decided with publication of “complete draft” on July 30. Authorities concerned once again reiterated that “genuine” Indians shouldn’t be perturbed as their names won’t be left out and given another chance to include their names, while all foreigners would be excluded. The reason for somewhat tardy progress thus far was largely attributed to noncompletion of verification of documents, which too was a colossal 6.50 crore, to validate proof of residency and legacy of the 3.29 crore applicants.

So, against such a gargantuan exercise monitored closely by the highest court of the land and where each and every document is painstakingly cross-checked – queries sent to issuer of documents to other States and abroad (37 countries) for cross-checking – it is ridiculous to attribute a motive. And not just Bengali Hindus or Muslims, many “indigenous” people’s names too have been left out in the NRC draft.

Post-mortem NSF reiterates call for integration of Naga areas What has the Christian faith to do with Hindu Yoga? W

A

s declared by the United Nations (UN), June 21 was observed as International Yoga Day. But in Mizoram, apart from the Assam Rifles and the Border Security Force (BSF), our Mizo friends decided not to fool with Yoga because they knew better. Mizoram is a Christian-majority State, Presbyterians and Baptists for the most part. I salute them for their guts to oppose the imposition of Yoga on them. The Rashtrya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-controlled BJP government in New Delhi has already introduced Yoga in schools and colleges. This is another way of saffronizing education. Unlike Mizoram, in Nagaland the Assam Rifles and BSF weren’t alone in observing International Yoga Day; Nagas (Baptists and Catholics for the most part) were there also.

We Nagas take pride in Nagaland being a Christian-majority State. Shouldn’t we have done better, like the Mizos? What about June 21, 2019? In the meantime, the church and lay Christian leaders ought to be educating and sensitizing fellow Christians and non-Hindus about what Hindu Yoga really is.

The whole world seems to be enthusiastic for Yoga because the Yogis, the protagonists of Yoga education, have fooled the public by claiming that Yoga provides important physical and health benefits, hiding the subtly damaging mental and spiritual effects of real Yoga on those who practice the cult. I know very little about Yoga, but I do understand that Yoga is an integral part of Hinduism. It is not simply physical exercise for the health and wellbeing of the body.

What then is Yoga? The Reader’s Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary defines Yoga as “1. A Hindu system of mystical and ascetic philosophy that involves certain physical and mental disciplines together with a withdrawal from the world and abstract meditation upon some spiritual principle or object. 2. A related system of exercises, the purpose of which is to achieve both physical and spiritual well-being.”

Yoga is practiced in all sects of Hinduism. “There is no Yoga without Hinduism and no Hinduism without Yoga.” There are Hindu Yoga, Buddhist Yoga, and Jaina Yoga. Yoga assumes various forms of which Hindu Yoga is the most diversified.

Someone has said: “Underlying all forms of Yoga is the understanding that the human being is more than the physical body and that through a course of discipline, it is possible to discover what this ‘more’ is.

Hindu Yoga speaks of a transcendental Self (atman, purusha), which is eternal and inherently blissful, as our true eternity.” In the words of Jeremy Butler, “all (different types of yoga) are touted as a means to achieve unity with the divine and thus to earn salvation.”

Everyone must know that the physical exercises and postures are just the preliminaries of yoga education and practice. A yoga is no yoga if its practice begins and

culminates only in physical exercises, consisting of stretches and postures in a variety of forms and styles. I am already doing some yoga-type exercises for my dizziness. But Yoga is religious in nature, and meditation is central to all its forms.

It is a method of spiritual training whose purpose is to integrate or unite the self with “God” (Brahma).

There is much to say about Hindu Yoga and all that it entails. But I will simply present three concepts borrowed from Michael Gleghorn to support my view that Christian Faith and Hindu Yoga are diametrically opposed to each other, and hence believers in Christ must not indulge in Yoga.

1. Hindu Yoga and Christian Faith have very different concepts of God. The goal of Yoga is to experience union with “God” (Brahma). Yogis conceive of “God” as an impersonal or spiritual force. Such doctrine is known as pantheism, meaning that everything is “God.” On the other hand, biblical Christianity teaches a personal God. The God of the Bible reveals Himself as the personal Creator of the universe. In other words, the Christian God is the Creator, the universe His creation.

2. Hindu Yoga and Christian Faith have very different views of Man. Yoga philosophy teaches that everything is “God.” This means that man, too, is “God.” But Christian Faith makes a sharp distinction between God and Man: God is the Creator, man is one of His creatures, though unlike other animals, man is unique, having been created in the image of God. 3. Hindu Yoga and Christian Faith differently conceive man’s fundamental problem as well as its solution.

Yoga treats man’s problem as primarily due to ignorance; man doesn’t realize that he is “God.” The solution is enlightenment, an experience of union with “God.” Such solution, which is the goal of Yoga, can only be attained through personal effort. To the contrary, biblical faith reveals man’s primary problem as sin, failure to measure up to God’s expectations. As a result, man becomes alienated from God. Hence the need for reconciliation through Jesus Christ, “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29).

Only through Jesus Christ’s death on the cross did God reconcile the world to Himself (2 Cor. 5:19). Unlike Yoga, Christian faith considers salvation as a free gift. It can only be received, not earned.

Without a doubt, Christian Faith and Hindu Yoga are mutually exclusive and diametrically opposed to each other.

Every follower of Jesus Christ must avoid indulging in Hindu Yoga for the reasons mentioned above. To be sure, in Christianmajority States like Nagaland, Mizoram, and Meghalaya, there is no place for Hindu Yoga in our education system, let alone in our individual lives.

e, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), has our foundation deeply rooted in the Naga Freedom Struggle apart from student’s welfare and have been consistently voicing it’s stance on the topic of integration of the entire Naga contiguous (ancestral) areas. We do not wish to infringe on the rights of others and merely state our claims on what belongs to us, so far as our ancestral lands are concerned. We call upon all people to understand the Nagas dilemma, and how the historically once holistic Naga people now lay divided: forcibly dissected, and the fragments of the Naga people tossed into arbitrarily marked areas during the twentieth century by outside invaders who did so for their attainment of geographical and administrative gain with no consideration for the indigenous people of the land at the time. The Naga people thus, have a justified right to call for a claim on the integration of its land and people. Let it be understood, that within the purview of our Naga history, the amalgamation of the Naga people and the Naga homeland is not merely a wish nor a fancy. It is the birth-right of every Naga to reach for re-consolidation of our people’s sense of identity and live under one administrative roof that governs us with complete understanding of our needs as a distinct indigenous tribal community and that acts

as a safeguard to our safety and our future.

The NSF is aware that our neighbouring communities are apprehensive of the outcome of the ongoing political talks between the Naga National workers and the Govt. of India (GOI). In fact, the present peace process and its outcome is expected to ease down the prevailing tension in the entire North-East region.

As neighbours since time immemorial, we expect our neighbours to be more sensible in its utterances and actions as provoking each other will only lead to hatred and animosity between us rather than strengthening our long cherish neighbourly relationship. It is high time our neighbouring communities realised that Nagas have suffered too long and as such any interference and hindrance on solution to the protracted Naga political issue do not go down well with the Naga people. Our neighbouring communities must also realised that there are forces within as well as outside our communities who have been playing hide and seek game to instigate fight among us all these while. And for too long we all have been made a victim of such gimmicks. Having had enough experienced of human sufferings; the Naga people in general are looking and longing for an honourable and peaceful solution to the long drawn Naga political issue.

For which, we urge upon our

neighbouring communities to be magnanimous in their approach and wholeheartedly support the Integration of Naga contiguous areas as part and parcel of the impending solution. Rest assured that Naga people would never snatch or encroach even an inch of land that belongs to other communities/nonNagas, while asserting that no matter how long it takes Naga Peoples ’aspiration to live together as a people shall persist.

Meanwhile, the NSF strongly expresses dissatisfaction over the slow-paced progress with the ongoing political talks as it has taken more than two-decade ever since the talks started at the Prime Ministerial level. We, the NSF, therefore impress both entities i.e. Naga National Workers and the GOI, to be more sensitive to the growing anxieties that the Naga people suffer without respite from this delay of finding a proper solution. All the Political entities are urged to work swiftly yet carefully on the issue of integration of the Naga contiguous area as the Naga people have every right to live under one political roof. These Political talks must come to a logical conclusion without any further procrastination.

NSF president, Kesosul Christopher Ltu and general secretary, Imtiyapang Imsong

Reader’s Post Sir,

Woes of NH Delhi

I would like to address the condition of the Nagaland House at R.K.Puram Delhi or would rather say leave a feedback for the improvement of the place. Nagaland House R.K. Puram became functional recently however, there are lots of finishing touches to be done when it comes to the rooms and the building. The rooms are filled with patches of cement and lack basic necessities for the guests. I asked for a glass for drinking water since there was none in the room and the waiter told me that they had no glass in the kitchen and rather only served mineral water bottles. The quality of food, the service of the kitchen and the chain of command is just pathetic. We do not expect miracles in a day or two however, even after months at least the basic requirements of the house could have been looked into which has never been achieved from the past experience of the House. Moreover, why not employ and encourage our very own Naga brothers and sisters for the staffing of the house instead of giving employment to non-Nagas? I am uncertain whether much progress will happen but whoever is the care-taker of Nagaland House on a contract or whatever basis must at all cost improve the way it is functioning because we even have outsiders visiting the place and it really leaves a bad impression of who we are too. I therefore hope that quality service is given priority for the services paid for and that we as Nagas leave lasting impression to people who use our services through the job we have been assigned.

Working on Maratha quota: Fadnavis

Mumbai, Jul 31 (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today said his government was working on the demand for reservations to the Maratha community, but that the legal process could not be curtailed.

Speaking at a function here to release a book on Chhatrapati Rajaram, King Shivaji’s descendant, Fadnavis said the decision cannot be taken only on the basis of sentiments.

He described as lamentable the incidents of violence and alleged suicides for the quota demand reported during the ongoing agitation

by Maratha organisations in the last few days.

“If sentiments are aroused, there will be unrest in the community. The legal process needs to be completed and our government will do that in a time-bound manner,” he added.

The BJP-led government in the state enacted a law to provide reservation in jobs and education to the community within a year of coming to power, he noted.

“But the High Court stayed the decision and the Supreme Court upheld the high court order. There is a 1992 Supreme Court judgement that reservations

tions stand legal scrutiny, the 1992 Supreme Court judgement must be followed, the chief minister said.

“We have to give reservations to the Marathas without tampering with the SC-ST-OBC quota,” he added.

“We are being asked to issue an ordinance. It can be done, but it will not stand (scrutiny) in the court....

A 38-year-old man allegedly committed suicide on July 29 in Nanded district over the Maratha quota demand, police said.

K a c h a r u K a l ya n e hanged himself from the ceiling at his home in Dhabad village of Nanded, aound 570 km from Mumbai, when his family members were out for some work.

His suicide note mentioned that he was ending his life over the Maratha community’s demand for reservation, a police official said.

A 35-year-old man had allegedly committed suicide by jumping in front of a moving train in Aurangabad on July 29 over the Maratha quota demand, police said.

Last week, two men in Aurangabad district committed suicide over demand for the quota, while another protester, injured in the Maratha stir violence in Navi Mumbai, died at a Mumbai hospital on July 26.

The politically influential Maratha community, constituting around 30 per cent of the state’s population, has been agitating to press its demand for reservation in jobs and education.

Madras HC warns TN SEC of contempt proceedings C h e nna i , J u l 3 1 (IANS): The Madras High Court on Tuesday ordered the Commissioner of the Tamil Nadu State Election Commission (SEC) to file the schedule for holding the elections to local bodies on August 6 or face contempt of court proceedings.

Hearing the contempt petition filed by DMK Rajya Sabha Member R.S.Bharathi that the SEC failed to implement the court order to hold the polls for local bodies by November 17, 2017, the court warned that the officials would be held guilty of contempt of court for their failure.

The SEC counsel told the court that the delimitation process was on as per 2011 census.

However the court pointed out that in their order it was clearly stated that the polls shoud be held based on 2001 census.

The court on September 4, 2017 had ordered SEC to issue the poll notification on September 18, 2017 and complete the polling process by November 17, 2017.

42 houses damaged at Pezielietsie Colony

(From p-1)

while the Colony Welfare Board, council and all colony members were assisting in evacuating and sheltering the affected, besides dismantling the damaged houses.

Meanwhile, with the continuous heavy downpour, an entire portion of Pezielietsie Colony seems to have become very vulnerable as the land continued to slide when this correspondent visited the site.

Condition of NH-2 worsens: The condition of NH-2, which is considered a lifeline for residents of the State Capital, worsened on Tuesday in two portions– Merima village (below IG Stadium) and at High Court junction – as sinking and

landslides occurred early morning.

The road below IG Stadium sank more than seven feet, leaving a narrow space for light vehicles to ply.

Also, huge landslide occurred at Merima-High Court junction where twoway traffic was affected.

On both the roads, villagers and university students were seen assisting the traffic police throughout the day.

On the other hand, some commuters informed Nagaland Post that few portions of Peducha road that leads to 10th Mile on NH-2 were in a pitiable condition though heavy trucks could still ply.

The road near Soul Harvest church, Daklane that passes through Census

office has also been completely damaged as the entire portion sank on Tuesday morning.

Another major portion of the road in Supply Colony (from Para-Medical to Raj Bhavan) has been completely damaged too due to sinking.

Supply Colony youth president Kerihosa Natso said the colony residents worked at the riverbed cleaning debris throughout the day.

He said since the sinking occurred last summer too, the colony residents had informed the Kohima deputy commissioner about the situation with a representation, He, however, lamented that no positive response had been received so far by the residents.

in making the “auspicious occasion” possible. He also thanked adviser to chief minister Viketol Sakhrie for taking care of the logistics and carrying out all preparations and communications pertaining to the water project.

Giving a brief introduction about the water project, Sakhrie said the project was simple but very significant.

He remarked that had it not been a divine intervention, the project would not have been possible.

Stating that good sense prevailed in spite of hurdles and obstacles, he also thanked the leaders of the two villages. He attributed the success in signing the deal to them for having a strong conviction to materialise the project into reality. Chief secretary Temjen Toy chaired the programme, while State chaplain Rev Kuzierang Thou invoked God’s blessing on the occasion.

water from Dzupfu river was initiated and pursued earnestly. And Khonoma people had no objection to water supply for Kohima and did not ask anything in return, he added.

He explained that due to some undesirable factors and boundary disputes, there was a stalemate for quite some time. He mentioned that attempts were made during the tenures of TR Zeliang and Dr. Shiirhozelie Liezietsu too.

On receipt of the proposal, several meetings were held at various levels, during which there were hiccups, obstacles and staunch opposition. However, the agreement for augmentation of water supply to Kohima was finally given consent and approved at a general meeting held at Panchayat Hall, Khonoma on July 28, he added.

In his speech, Poilwa village I chairman Daniel Zeliang said he was very optimistic that the tripartite agreement would herald a new beginning for prosperity and faster development.

He explained that Poimi Baudi Nagaland and Poilwa Village Council signed the agreement to bury differences between Poilwa and Khonoma and make use of the “God-given water resources” for the greater good of Nagaland.

Deputy chief minister and home & national highways minister Y Patton, who too was present, expressed his gratitude to Khonoma and Poilwa villages for mutually agreeing to augmentation of water supply to Kohima town from Teupuiki and Dzupfu rivers and signing the tripartite agreement. Expressing happiness over the agreement, he said hitherto several at-

tempts on water supply to the State Capital had failed.

He hoped that this tripartite agreement would turn into a reality.

Patton pointed out that people from remote areas and other districts wanted to settle in Kohima but were discouraged at times due to scarcity of water. He wanted the State government to remain firm and stand on the assurances given to the two villages.

Speaking on behalf of Khonoma Village Council, Huzo Meru thanked Almighty God for the momentous occasion, where they could come together in unison to create a history for the welfare of people. He said water crisis in Kohima was without exception and that its residents had been suffering untold miseries for decades due to water scarcity.

Mumbai, Jul 31 (PTI): Making a spirited comeback ahead of the RBI’s policy announcement, the rupee gained 13 paise to close at a fresh two-week high of 68.54 against the dollar on expectations that the US Fed is likely to keep rates unchanged.

Notwithstanding initial listlessness, the home currency staged a smart recovery towards the tail-end trade despite heavy monthend dollar demand from importers and corporates.

A rally in domestic equities further supplemented the recovery momentum.

S&P said the central bank is reportedly conducting another asset quality review, focusing on 240 corporate loans. Many of these loans are already classified as NPLs, but the RBI is said to be investigating whether they are under-provisioned.

“Another year of high provisioning is likely as public sector banks clean up their balance sheets and provide for losses on their stressed assets. Other drags on earnings include lower treasury income amid rising interest rates,” it said.

The gover nment is working on a four-pronged strategy to improve the health of the banking sector: recognition, recapitalisation, resolution, and reform.

The first three of the “4Rs” has progressed significantly, but in our view, India hasn’t done enough with respect to reform, S&P said. S&P’s stable outlook on banks is underpinned by the expectations of a very high likelihood of government support.

materialise in the agriculture sector, where for example government-granted loan repayment waivers could hurt credit discipline. The loan-against-property segment may also be vulnerable, it said. “India’s weakened banking system is set to strengthen over the next couple of years as stressed loans are cleared and capital injections from the government shore up eroded capital bases,” S&P said.

Banks categorised an increasing proportion of weak loans as NPLs due to more stringent requirements by the Reserve Bank and government.

S&P said this more realistic recognition, coupled with rebounding corporate profits, and quicker resolution of nonperforming assets under the new bankruptcy law, will help banks gradually recover from a protracted bad-debt cycle.

“We believe the RBI’s strengthening norms and more stringent timelines mean that banks will increasingly find it more difficult to window-dress accounts to

New Delhi, July 31 (PTI): The government Tuesday sought Parliament’s approval for Rs 980 crore as supplementary grant for equity infusion in Air India which is grappling with financial crunch.

The amount is part of the total gross additional expenditure of Rs 11,697.92 crore, for which approval has been sought from the Parliament.

The grant has been sought as part of equity infusion into Air India under the Turnaround Plan (TAP), as per the document tabled in the Lok Sabha for supplementary demand for grants for 2018-19.

“Taking into account the surrender of savings available in the revenue section of the grant, the ... expenditure (Rs 980 crore) will not entail any additional cash outgo,” it added.

The grant has been sought under the Civil Aviation Ministry.

As per the document, the net cash outgo totals Rs 5,951,22 crore and gross additional expenditure aggregates to Rs 5,745.68 crore.

New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI): India’s weak banking system will strengthen over couple of years as stressed loans are cleared and capital base expanded by government’s fund infusion in state-owned lenders, S&P Global Ratings said Tuesday. In its report titled ‘The Worst Is Almost Over For India’s Banks’, S&P said the ratings on the banks are “more likely to be raised than lowered” in the next 2 years. But, weak risk management and internalcontrol practices limit the potential for considerable upside, it said.

“We estimate that Indian banks’ recognised nonperforming loans (NPLs) now cover a substantial part of weak loans in the system, which comprise about 13-15 per cent of total loans,” S&P Global Ratings Credit analyst Geeta Chugh said.

S&P said a turnaround in the earning performance of India’s banks should take place in fiscal 2020 (ending March 31, 2020). This turnaround could be delayed if large unexpected NPLs

UN chief calls for efforts to end human trafficking

United Nations, Jul 31 (IANS): UN SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres on Monday called for global efforts to end the scourge of human trafficking.

In a message on World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, which falls on July 30, Guterres said that human trafficking knows no borders.

“Human trafficking takes many forms and knows no borders. Human traffickers too often operate with impunity, with their crimes receiving not nearly enough attention. This must change.”

Human trafficking is a vile crime that feeds on inequalities, instability and conflict. Human traffickers prey on the vulnerable and

rob them of their fundamental rights, Xinhua quoted the UN chief as saying.

Children and young people, migrants and refugees are especially susceptible. Women and girls are targeted again and again, he said. “We see brutal sexual exploitation, including involuntary prostitution, forced marriage and sexual slavery. We see the appalling trade in human organs.”

Guterres said the UN is committed to advancing action to bring traffickers to justice while protecting and supporting their victims.

The rights of victims must come first -- be they the victims of traffickers, smugglers, or of modern forms of slavery or exploitation, he stressed.

Washington, Jul 31 (IANS): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has warned against providing an International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout for Pakistan’s new government that includes funding to pay off Chinese lenders.

The issue arises from Pakistan’s dependence on China for infrastructure subsidies, which have left Islamabad deeply indebted to Beijing. Pakistan reportedly plans to ask for $12 billion from the IMF, but this has not been confirmed yet.

“Make no mistake. We will be watching what the IMF does,” Pompeo told CNBC in an interview on Monday.

“There’s no rationale for IMF tax dollars - and associated with that, American dollars that are part of

WASHINGTON, Jul 31 (Agencies): US intelligence agencies have found that North Korea is building new missiles, based on satellite photographs taken in recent weeks and other new evidence, The Washington Post reported Monday.

Just weeks after a highstakes summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Pyongyang appears to be developing at least one or two liquidfueled intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Post said, citing officials familiar with the intelligence.

The factory outside Pyongyang in Sanumdong where the work is underway produced the North’s first ICBMs capable of reaching the United States.

Following the Singapore summit in June, Trump had declared that Pyongyang was “no longer a Nuclear Threat,” and touted his own diplomatic achievements.

But Kim did not publicly promise to end work at the country’s nuclear and missile facilities, instead of speaking of eventual denuclearization.

The reported new missile construction follows Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s testimony last week in which he told senators Pyongyang continues to make the nuclear fissile material, without indicating whether the hermit state was building new missiles.

Imagery from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency suggests ongoing work on at least one Hwasong-15 ICBM at the Sanumdong plant, the Post said.

up a bomb-laden car at the entrance, local representatives of foreign donors and agencies were meeting department employees inside the building.

“All the partner agency representatives attending the meeting were Afghans and those who were stuck inside, including the director of the refugees and repatriations department, were rescued,” Khogyani said.

Wa s h i n g to n, J u l 31 (PTI): Softening his tone, US President Donald Trump Monday said that he is ready to meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani without preconditions to craft a new deal over its nuclear programme after threatening Tehran of grave consequences.

Trump in May pulled the US out of the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement struck by the Obama administration by calling it the “the worst” deal ever negotiated.

An Olive branch from Trump to Iran marks an abrupt shift in his tone.

Trump had lashed out at Rouhani a week ago in a tweet, saying “Never, ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before.”

The White House, however, said that Trump’s potential willingness to meet with his Iranian counterpart does not change his administration’s intent to ratchet up sanctions against Tehran with the stated goal of “seeking changes in the Iranian government’s behaviour.”

North Korea developing new missiles: report

Security forces gather following a deadly attack including a suspected suicide car bombing and gunbattles, in Jalalabad, Afghanistan on Tuesday. (AP/PTI)

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for Saturday’s attack, which left at least three people dead and several wounded.

Jalalabad has been the scene of multiple attacks in recent months that have killed dozens, as US and Afghan forces continue offensives against militants.

In the western province of Farah today the bomb which hit the bus killed at least 11 people and wounded 31.

“It was a bomb planted by the Taliban to hit security forces but... it got a passenger bus,” Farah provincial police spokesman Muhibullah Muhib told AFP. There was no immediate confirmation from the Taliban that they were responsible.

In a separate incident, 22 passengers travelling on a Kabul-bound bus in the eastern province of Paktia were kidnapped by gunmen on Monday night.

Officials blamed the Taliban for both incidents.

Most of the attacks in Jalalabad have been claimed

by IS, which has a relatively small but potent presence in Afghanistan, mainly in the east and north.

Jalalabad, Jul 31 (AFP): A suicide bomb and gun attack by militants on an Afghan government building in Jalalabad Tuesday killed at least 15 people, some burned “beyond recognition”, officials said, the latest in a series of assaults on the eastern city.

On the other side of the country a roadside bomb apparently intended for security forces hit a passenger bus and killed 11 people, marking yet another bloody day for civilians who have borne the brunt of violence in Afghanistan.

The attack in Jalalabad targeted the compound of the refugees and repatriations department. It ended after more than five hours of intense fighting between militants and security forces, said Attaullah Khogyani, spokesman for the governor of Nangarhar province.

At least 15 people were killed and the same number were wounded, Khogyani said.

The Twisted Sister frontman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who got to know Trump personally after appearing more than once on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Celebrity Apprenticeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spoke about the billionaire real estate mogul during a recent interview with Loudwire.

Snider said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a fan of Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style.

But again, this is the hand that we were dealt. And a large part of the election going the way it did is because a lot of young people became apathetic after their guy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the nomination,â&#x20AC;? apparently referring to supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders, who attracted more young voters than Trump and Hillary Clinton combined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember being 21 and stupid too. And [I saw things as] black and white â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have my guy, [Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll vote for] nobody. Or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll write something stupid

in the margin of the ballot, or whatever. So now you have to live with those decisions. But at the end of the day, this is how the game is played. So next time, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fuck up. Get out and vote.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain unless you voted.â&#x20AC;?

Dee went on to say that he has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;multi-facetedâ&#x20AC;? take on the current political situation in the United States. He explained: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supportersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; extreme, aggressive support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seemingly blind support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is partially a reaction to the lashing out toward himâ&#x20AC;Ś Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not being given a chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There used to be this spoken rule that, okay, we had an election, my guy won, or this guy won, that guy lost, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our president â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like it or not, for the next four years, this is the guy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we need to stand behind him, or at least give him a chance,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

taken that approach: we need to give him a chance to doâ&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different game, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different guy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different world, all those thingsâ&#x20AC;Ś And yes, I know the man. And by the way, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one friend Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to be president of the United States.

And can you think of one of your friends â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking everyone watching â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that you would want to be president of the United States? None. Because we know our friends too well, and they know us too wellâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think that we need to take a breath and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is our guy. He was elected fairly. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta give him a chance,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And just sort of relax a little bit. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the problem.â&#x20AC;?

Murray wins on return to hardcourt Washington, Jul 31 (Agencies): An emotional Andy Murray made a triumphant return to hardcourts on Monday in his first match on the surface for nearly 17 months, outlasting Mackenzie McDonald at the ATP Tour’s Washington Open.

The three-time Grand Slam champion and former world number one, who missed 11 months with a right hip injury and surgery last January, defeated the 80th-ranked American 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.

Murray, who has fallen to 832nd in the rankings, needed seven match points to subdue McDonald, squandering five before being broken in the 10th game of the final set before breaking back and finally ending matters after two hours and 37 minutes.

“I fought hard and I had to,” Murray said.

“The movements and stuff were fine. I didn’t break down. It lasted pretty well.”

The 31-year-old Scotsman unleashed a primal scream and a right fistpumping frenzy of joy after McDonald hit a forehand long on the final point.

“I enjoyed getting through that one. You could

Nagaland Post, Dimapur WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2018

After making his return from January hip surgery last month at Queens and Eastbourne, Murray skipped Wimbledon and began preparing for the hardcourt campaign.

Murray’s first hardcourt match in nearly 17 months, delayed three hours by rain, turned when he broke in the

penultimate game of the second set and again on his fifth break chance in the opening game of the third set.

Murray served for the match in the 10th game but squandered five match points, four of them on errors, and McDonald broke back to 5-5 when Murray netted a forehand to end the 12-minute game.

At 30-30 in the 11th game, McDonald stuck his racquet over the net to play the ball, losing the point on a violation quickly called

by French umpire Arnaud Gabas. McDonald then hit a forehand long to give Murray another chance to serve for the match.

Murray, who surrendered four double faults and won only five-of-15 second-serve points in the first set, broke to open the second set but swatted an ugly forehand well wide to surrender a break in the next game, slamming a ball to the court in frustration at what in top form would have been a routine shot.

Both held serve until the ninth game, when McDonald sent a forehand wide to hand Murray the break and a 5-4 lead. Murray held on a service winner to force a third set.

Boat racing team to be added to Asiad contingent

New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI): Denied entry by the IOA, a favourable Delhi High Court order has now paved the way for India’s traditional boat racing contingent to take part in the Asian Games in Indonesia from August 18-September 2.

Abhay Singh, one of the athletes in the boat racing squad, had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against Indian Olympic Association’s (IOA) decision to not send a team of the water sport at the Games as it did not meet the eligibility criteria. He had sought High Court’s intervention in the matter after team returned home with a silver and bronze at an Asian level tournament.

On Monday, the High Court ruled the matter in the petitioner’s favour and “directed the IOA to consider the case of the petitioner and team and take all steps to accredit the team to represent India in traditional boat racing”.

IOA secretary Rajeev Mehta confirmed sending the entries to Games Organisers following the High Court order. “We have sent the entries. Now it remains to be seen if the organise accept their entries,” said Mehta.

Mitrovic signs deal with Fulham L o nd o n , J u l 3 1 (Agencies): Aleksandar Mitrovic will remain with Fulham in the Premier League this season after the newly promoted club sealed his permanent move from Newcastle on Monday.

Mitrovic, 23, scored 12 goals in 17 games last season after joining Fulham on loan on deadline day in January, helping the London club to promotion after navigating through the playoffs.

The transfer had been reported at between £20-22 million, though the clubs did not confirm the transfer fee, and Mitrovic said he was thrilled to stay with Fulham. “I’m happy to the moon and back,” said Mitrovic, who scored for Serbia at the World Cup earlier this summer. “I’m very glad and happy and proud to finally be here and officially become a Fulham player. I have love for the fans. They’re amazing fans and I have a really good connection with them.”

“This is a big club and last year we made history.

We did big things and I want to continue this. We want to keep making big things, and with all the fans behind us I think we can go far.”

Newcastle will likely make a profit on the £14.5 million

they paid Anderlecht for his services in July 2015. He scored 17 times in 72 games for the Magpies.

After breaking out with Partizan Belgrade in his native Serbia, Mitrovic scored 16 goals from Anderlecht in his debut campaign in Belgium before leading the

league with 20 goals in the 2014-15 season.

“I’m delighted to announce that Aleksandar Mitrovic is back where he belongs at Fulham Football Club! We have reached an agreement to bring Mitro home,” Fulham director Tony Khan said.

‘Requiem and rebirth’ to be theme of Tokyo 2020 Summer Challenger Cup: Ngwalna, Fury win Tokyo, Jul 31 (Agencies): The newly-appointed creative directors of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics opening and closing ceremonies said on Tuesday spectators will see a mix of traditional and modern Japanese culture.

An acclaimed actor of traditional Japanese kyogen comic theater, chief executive creative director Nomura Mansai, aims to portray Japan’s recovery from disaster to a global audience under a theme of

“requiem and rebirth.”

“First and foremost, this is a Games for reconstruction, to show that people have suffered from conflicts and events in our recent past,” Mansai told reporters at a press conference.

“We will keep the ceremony simple while honoring and expressing the spirit of Japan.”

Mansai said the eight creative directors will share expertise in their respective fields as they work together to craft visuals for the Olym-

pics and Paralympics. Film director Takashi Yamazaki and ad agency creative director Hiroshi Sasaki join

Mansai on the production team. “I’m from the classic performing arts, so a lot of it may be based on my own personal sense as a kyogen actor,” Mansai said.

“But the diversity of these leading figures in their own respective industries will be key. Each person has great talent and they are a wonderful group of people -- we cannot do without any one of them.”

When asked how the creative team would accomplish their expansive goal

with less than two years to go, Mansai was reluctant to give details but said the ceremonies will touch on themes such as recovery and humility in the wake of the March 2011 disaster.

But Mansai emphasized that the ceremonies will not feature iconic examples of Japanese culture for their own sake, but will emphasize similarities with other cultures around the world.

Azarenka took the first set comfortably but faced stiffer resistance in the second from the Ukrainian, who battled hard against the 29-year-old Belarusian on a night when her powerful first serve lacked its usual accuracy.

Azarenka committed 12 double faults and was broken four times but did just enough to edge the defensive-minded Bondarenko, who sent a backhand long on match point to put an end to the marathon match. Elsewhere, Australian Ajla Tomljanovic defeated Spaniard Georgina Garcia Perez 6-4 6-1 to set up a second-round meeting with second-seeded American Madison Keys.

Badminton World C’ships: Saina, Srikanth win Sports Ministry to sponsor kits

Saina Nehwal

an experienced opponent in fourth seed Ratchanok Intanon of Indonesia.

Ratchanok staged a strong comeback to win a tough encounter against the impressive Mia Blichfeldt of Denmark.

The nail-biting see-saw battle, which lasted an hour and 16 minutes, saw Ratchanok carve out a 16-21, 22-20, 21-10 victory.

In the men’s singles category, Srikanth took 37 minutes to defeat Nhat Nguy-

en of Ireland in straight games.

The Indian, who advanced to the second round, did not have to sweat too much on his way to a 2115, 21-16 victory over his unseeded opponent.

Srikanth forced the early advantage, taking four consecutive points to open up a 7-2 lead before increasing the gap to 11-5. Nguyen staged a strong fight back with two four-point streaks of his own to level the scores

Nanjing, Jul 31 (IANS): Indian stars Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth won their respective matches at the Badminton World Championships here on Tuesday.

Saina defeated Aliye Demirbag of Turkey in straight games to enter the third round of the women’s singles category.

Saina fought off a brave effort from her Turkish opponent to cruise to a 21-17, 21-18 victory in just

39 minutes.

The opening game saw a tough battle in the early stages before Saina produced a four-point burst to lead 14-10. She held on to the advantage till the end to win the game.

Saina showcased her class in the second game, scoring at ease as she romped to a win.

N’Golo Kante

Lo n d o n, J u l 3 1 (Agencies): Chelsea have offered N’Golo Kante a new contract worth nearly £290,000 a week, which would make him the club’s

best-paid player. They have acted to deter interest from Paris Saint-Germain in the midfielder who impressed at the World Cup, where he helped France to lift the tro-

phy. Kante has been offered a five-year deal worth up to £15 million a season, which roughly doubles his present wage and would take him above Eden Hazard who is Chelsea’s top earner on £220,000 a week.

Chelsea will not allow Kante to leave for France and the 27-year-old has not asked to go. He helped Chelsea to win the Premier League title in his first season after joining for around £30 million from Leicester City two years ago and his contract ends in 2021.

Kante played in every France game at the World Cup and recovered the ball more often than any other member of the squad. His team-mate Paul Pogba said that he “must have 15 lungs” and Didier Deschamps, the manager, called him the “essential element” of the triumphant side.

Chelsea are ready to increase Hazard’s salary to a similar level to Kante’s, but the Belgian said recently that he was considering a move. He has attracted interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI): Javelin thrower Amit Kumar, who had won a bronze medal at the recent National Inter-State Athletics Championships, has tested positive for a banned substance during an exposure trip to Finland last month.

While Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has remained tight lipped about the developments, sources close to the athlete confirmed that Amit has been handed provisional suspension.

It is learnt that Amit was tested in Finland during the exposure trip in June.

The tests were conducted

by Finland’s anti doping agency on the directions of the Athletes’ Integrity Unit (AIU) of the IAAF. While filling up the Dope Control form, Amit did not mention about a supplement he had consumed before landing in Finland.

He tested positive for excessive levels of testosterone that was present in that particular supplement.

at 13-13. He subsequently took a slender lead at 15-14, but the Indian came up with an impressive run of seven back to back points to take the opening game.

The second game saw a neck and neck battle till the halfway stage when the two players went into the break with Srikanth in possession of a 11-9 lead.

The Indian came out all guns blazing after the resumption, taking six consecutive points to open up a comfortable 17-10 advantage. Although Nguyen closed the gap to within two points, Srikanth produced another late burst to wrap up the match.

Srikanth will be up against Pablo Abian of Spain in the next round. The unseeded Spaniard defeated Toby Penty of England 2118, 21-6 in his campaign opener.

In the mixed doubles competition, the unseeded Indian pair of Saurabh Sharma and Anoushka Parikh lost to eighth seeds Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying of Malaysia by an 18-21, 11-21 margin in 36 minutes.

It was curtains for Pranaav Jerry Chopra and N. Sikki Reddy as well, since they lost 16-21, 4-21 to 12th seeds Hafiz Faizal and Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja of Indonesia.

of athletes not affiliated to IOA

New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI): The Sports Ministry Tuesday said it will bear the cost of kits and uniforms of the Asian Games-bound athletes, whose federations are not affiliated to the Indian Olympic Association, after the IOA refused to cover these expenses.

“NO team participating in #AsianGames2018 will have to bear the expenses of kit & uniform by themselves I have directed @IndiaSports @Media_SAI to issue kits and apparel to EVERY team representing India,” Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore tweeted.

Earlier, the IOA Secretary General Rajeev Mehta said expenses of the ceremonial dress and playing kits of the athletes do not come from its coffers. He claimed that cost will be borne by the sponsors who have signed a contract with it to deal with only the affiliated federations.

He said the IOA cannot force the sponsors Li Ning (apparel) and Raymond (ceremonial dress) to also take care of those athletes, who are from non-affiliated federations. Mehta said this has been an established norm and the IOA has never foot the bill of non-Olympic sports and the ones not affiliated with it. He also said the

Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore

Rs 50 lakh insurance offer to the athletes by Edelweiss does not the cover players from non-affiliated federations.

“We are sending more than 540 athletes and more than 200 officials and the expenses for their attire run into crores and IOA has limited resources. So we signed these contracts with the sponsors but they cover only the players of the federations affiliated to the IOA and not outside it,” Mehta told PTI. “The sponsors get commercial value from association with us. They (sponsors) get commercial mileage from it, say from the interviews, branding or endorsement of their products by the top athletes, so they get benefit from these contracts. We cannot force them to deal with athletes not affiliated to us,” he added. He said even in the 2014 Asian Games, the IOA had not borne the expenses of the

attire of the athletes.

“Everybody knows the government bears all these expenses, we are not a rich organisation,” Mehta said.

“The federations who are not affiliated to us but have recognition from the government will get their reimbursement later,” he added.

Asked about federations such as kurash, spot climbing and pencak silat who are neither affiliated to the IOA nor recognised by the Sports Ministry, Mehta said, “If they have got recognition from Olympic Council of Asia (hence taking part in the Asian Games) but are yet to get recognition from the Sports Ministry, what can we do? We are not involved in that.”

Out of the 37 sports India is competing in the Asian Games, seven governing federations, bridge, kurash, pencak silat, roller skating, sambo, sepaktakraw, soft tennis, and sport climbing, are not recognised by IOA. These sports constitute 114 athletes out of the 541 announced so far by the IOA. Out of these bridge, pencak silat, roller skating, sepaktakraw and soft tennis are recognised by the Sports Ministry while kurash, sambo and sports climbing federations are not recognised.

NE states to meet BCCI India eye perfect start in England’s 1000th Test

New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI): With only a couple of months left for Ranji Trophy to begin, the representatives of six North Eastern states will meet the BCCI bigwigs on Wednesday, seeking release of funds for upgrading the current infrastructure.

The representatives of Sikkim, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh will meet BCCI’s GM (Cricket Operations) Saba Karim along with members of Task Force (NE) to discuss the prevailing issues ahead of their maiden first class season. “The Task Force team had come for inspection and noted all the problem we were facing. Right now, we need funds to upgrade the grounds. We need to prepare the pitches, renovate the dressing rooms as per first class standards,” Meghalaya Cricket Association top boss Naba Bhattacharjee told PTI today.

“We would also require help of good coaches and for that we need to give them good remuneration.

The preparation of good turf pitches will require decent money,” he said.

He informed that Sikkim will play their home matches in Siliguri (North Bengal) as their ground won’t be ready.

“Apart from Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Manipur have their own ground but it will take some time to get those ready. We might request the neighbouring states to allow some of our home matches on their spare grounds,” Bhattacharjee added.

On a different note, he expressed his displeasure at Telangana Cricket Association’s plea to BCCI to stop North Eastern states from playing Ranji Trophy.

“The Telangana CA secretary should mind his own business. Can he even locate Meghalaya, Manipur or Mizoram on India map?

Who is he to question our competence. He should concentrate on his association,” an angry Bhattacharjee, who is also the convenor of North Eastern state associations, said

Birmingham, Jul 31 (PTI): India would be driven by the desire to shed the poor travellers’ tag, while England would be desperate to arrest the recent slide at home when the two teams clash in a fivematch Test series, starting here Wednesday.

The English side will be celebrating its 1000th Test at Edgbaston, and it will be up to world No.1 India to spoil the home party.

India last won a Test series in England in 2007 under Rahul Dravid, and it will be no easy task ahead of the Virat Kohli-led side to duplicate that feat.

England’s Test form coming into this series is also a cause of concern.

Since September 2017, England have only won one out of nine Tests against Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan.

They have been beaten twice in their last five home Tests by West Indies and Pakistan, with both sides’ pace attack exploiting the

weaknesses in a batting lineup heavily dependent on Root, Jonny Bairstow and seasoned opener Alastair Cook.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be buoyed by the fact that three out of their six wins here have come since 2002. India’s assistant coach Sanjay Bangar was part of the Test squad as Sourav Ganguly’s team won at Leeds.

Wicket keeper Dinesh Karthik was part of the 2007 series-winning squad.

Skipper Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma toured here in 2011 and 2014 and seven other players in the current side have also featured during that last trip.

But India’s record at Edgbaston is exceptionally poor with five losses in six Tests here stretching back to 1967.

The visitors must pick an optimal playing eleven and avoid the mistakes made on their previous overseas trip to South Africa. There, the team man-

agement had backed an in-form Rohit Sharma over Ajinkya Rahane.

This time around, an in-form KL Rahul is bidding for a spot. Both Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri

have maintained that as third-choice opener, Rahul must wait for his chance.

But the fit-again batsman’s fine form might just compel them.

Rahul scored a flu-

ent 58 in the first innings against Essex followed by a second innings 36 not out off 64 balls.

In contrast, Shikhar Dhawan faced a total of four balls in two innings

and scored a pair. Four years ago, the left-hander was unable to come to terms with the moving Duke ball and scored 122 runs in three Tests before being dropped.

Cheteshwar Pujara’s form is a worry too. He is yet to get a half-century in this first-class summer and managed only 172 runs in six matches at 14.33 for Yorkshire. He scored a mere 35 against Afghanistan in Bengaluru and in the practice game at Chelmsford, he managed 1 and 23.

In bowling, with R Ashwin and Ishant Sharma also having county experience, the general feeling is that this Indian squad is better prepared to face the English challenge this time around.

India’s other selection conundrum pertains to Ashwin and the number of spinners will define the visitors’ bowling strategy in this first Test. The heat wave seems to be over and there is a chill in the Birmingham air.
