Solution should be inclusive: NTC to PM

DIMAPUR, AUG 22 (NPN): Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) in a memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi through Nagaland Governor has categorically stated that it would not accept “mere population integration” of people and that solution should be inclusive with prior consent of all stakeholders including all Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs).

NTC president Lendinoktang Ao and general secretary Nribemo Ngullie stated that the council was constrained to write to the PM, “concerning our inherent rights, since the indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland were not at all aware of the contents of the frame work agreement.

In view of the 18 years of political negotiation between the Government of India and NSCN (I-M) and the contemplation to arrive at a conclusion, NTC said “if not for physical integration of both land and its people; it can never accept mere population integration”. It further made known to the Prime Minister that NTC steadfastly stood for “inclusive solution”.

“In the event of any negotiation leading to finalization of any agreement under Framework covering

‘Can never accept mere population integration’ Nagaland, prior consent of the stakeholders is a must and all the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) must be taken on board for inclusive solution so that the solution arrived will become lasting and acceptable to all,” NTC stated.

Making it explicitly clear to the Prime Minister of its stand, the Nagaland Tribes Councilsaid Nagas of Nagaland were not in a position “to accept any point under Framework that either modify, dilutes or infringes upon any provision in Article 371(A) under any circumstances.”

While stating that the pioneers of India considered Nagas of Nagaland vulnerable, the council however said that they (pioneers) found the tradition, culture, lands and its resources as an inalienable part of life of the Nagas and felt the need to protect and preserve them in the interest of both the Nagas and the country. “In view of providing legal insulation from possible

exploitation, the conditions in 16-Points memorandum of 1960 were incorporated in Article 371(A) of the Indian Constitution at the creation of the 16th State of Nagaland,” NTC said.

Reminding the Prime Minister that point no. 13 of the 16-points memorandum referred to integration of Naga contiguous areas, to this NTC said it would “uphold the principle of amalgamation of all the Naga inhabited areas in the North East India into a single administrative unit, and this has been the long cherished desire of the Nagas of Nagaland.”

Basing on the “fact of the natural law that the land and its people are but one and inseparable”, NTC said “Naga Integration should therefore evolve the coming together of the Nagas with their lands to live in a single state.”

Nagaland being one of the smallest states in terms of geographical area (16,579 Sq. Kms) having almost 2 million populations, NTC said for survival of the ethnic indigenous inhabitants and with the limited area of land, “we cannot afford to allow Nagaland to become the concentration camp or designated area for all hue.”

China warns India against deploying cruise missile in NE NEW DELHI, AUG 22 (AGENCIES): Weeks after Government of India cleared the deployment of a special version of the BrahMos cruise missile in the North East, China has warned that such a move would have “a negative influence” on stability along the border. Earlier this month, cabinet committee on security, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cleared the raising of a new regiment to be equipped with an advanced version of the BrahMos developed for mountain warfare at a cost of more than Rs 4,300 crore.

A commentary over the weekend in PLA Daily, official publication of People’s Liberation Army, said the deployment of the supersonic cruise missiles could lead to countermeasures by China. “India deploying supersonic missiles on the border has exceeded its own needs for self-defense and poses a serious threat to China’s Tibet and Yunnan provinces,” the commentary said. “Deploying BrahMos missiles is bound to increase competitiveness and confrontation in Sino-Indian relations and bring a negative influence to stability of the region,” it added. The piece noted other steps taken by India to beef up its capabilities along the border with China, such as the deployment of UAVs and Su-30 combat jets, and claimed such moves were part of a policy of “counterbalance and confrontation”.

Myanmar assures India not to allow insurgents use its soil

NAY PYI TAW, AUG 22 (PTI): Myanmar on Monday gave an assurance that it will not allow any insurgent group to use its territory against India. The assurance comes in the backdrop of certain insurgent groups from North Eastern states using Myanmar for launching attacks against India. The Indian army had carried out a major operation against these groups in June last year along the Indo-Myanmar border.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who arrived here on a day-long visit, held talks with Myanmarese leaders on key bilateral issues, including cross-border activities by certain insurgent groups.

“Myanmar leadership assured that they will not allow any insurgent groups to use any territory for action against India, (that) they all recognised is a friendly country which has stood by people of Myanmar and they look forward to a very productive partnership with India as Myanmar continues on its journey of peace, progress and development,” MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup told PTI. Swaraj’s visit also comes just days after the Indian Army had an encounter with NSCN (K) militants in Nagaland who were trying to enter the country from Myanmar. While reports suggested that the Indian Army had crossed over to Myanmar, it was officially de-

nied by India. In the first highlevel visit from India after the civilian government assumed office here, Swaraj called on President U Htin Kyaw and held extensive talks with State Counsellor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi during which she conveyed India’s commitment of “all help” to the new government.

Describing India as a friendly country, Myanmarese President told Swaraj that he looks forward to a “very productive partnership”. Swaraj also discussed with the Myanmarese leadership how India can help in Myanmar’s development efforts. They discussed a number of areas of possible collaboration such as power.

India is already supplying 3

MW electricity to Myanmar through the Moreh-Tamu link but this can be further upgraded, Swarup said.

Congratulating Suu Kyi on her party’s victory in the “first genuine election”, Swaraj assured her of “all help”. “India is committed to strengthening your democratic institutions and socio-economic development of your people,” Swaraj said during her meeting with Suu Kyi, whose National League for Democracy party won a historic landslide election last year that finally brought an end to five decades of military rule.

Swaraj said this was the message of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Pranab Mukherjee.

Myanmar denies clash between Army, Naga rebels

Myanmar military authorities have denied that there was a recent exchange of gunfire on its soil between the Indian army and NSCN (K), the media reported on Monday.

The denial referred to some reports that the Indian Army entered the Myanmar territory and fought with Naga rebels on August 19 and that the fighting lasted for three hours, Xinhua news agency reported.

Myanmar military’s information quoted witnesses as saying that the gun battle occurred inside India, one mile west of the Myanmar-India border, and not in Myanmar.

However, Myanmar military columns on the border were on full alert to ward off foreign troops from entering the country, the military authorities said.

Myanmar would neither accept nor encourage any armed group to station on its soil to potentially terrorise the government, it said.

The authorities insisted that Myanmar armed forces was working in tandem with Indian army and rendering cooperation in patrolling the border and exchanging information.

KU Chen unit flays August 19 strike D I M A P U R , AU G 2 2 (NPN): Konyak Union (KU) Chen unit has strongly condemned what it described as “provocative cross-border strike by the Indian Army’s 12 Para,” which allegedly crossed the international border near border pillar 151, near Chenmoho village and resulted in exchange of gunfire with the NSCN(K) at around 3.30 a.m. on August 19 last.

In a press release, KU Chen unit president T.P. Pongyao Konyak appealed for peace in the region and maximum restraint from Indian Army and NSCN (K).

It also called for avoiding any propaganda from both sides that could create further confusion and disturbance for the public.

KU unit said the “provocative raid” would only intensify the conflict of war and causality on civilian life and loss of property and great deal of hardship in the normal activity of the villages across border, which was “otherwise a peaceful border area.”

Asserting that there has been international furore over such cross border strike, KU unit said, “This charged and disturbed activity happened while the peaceful regions of Chenmoho, Chenloisho and Wangti and the neighbouring villages - Throilu, Hoyat, Nyanching and other villages across international border (Cont’d on p-5)

ULFA abducts BJP leader’s J&K issue: PM for solution ‘within Constitution’ Cancel all table tenders for son; demands 1 cr ransom work orders, demands NCSU

G U WA H AT I , AU G 2 2 (AGENCIES): A chilling ISIS-style video -- showing a young man kneeling, asking for help, surrounded by five masked men holding guns -- has been released by the banned militant group ULFA (United Liberation Front of Assam). The man is 27-yearold Kuldeep Moran, whose father is a BJP leader and uncle a BJP legislator in Assam.

The ULFA -- notorious for a series of kidnappings and killings in the northeast -- has demanded Rs. 1 crore for his release - a ransom amount unprecedented in the organisation’s 37-year history. This is also possibly the first time the organisation has released a ransom video like this.

The son of BJP leader Ratnaswer Moran and nephew of party lawmaker Bolin Chetia, Kuldeep was kidnapped from Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang district on August 1. Four days ago, media houses received the email from ULFA demanding ransom.

NLA spl session

DIMAPUR, AUG 22 (NPN): Governor of Nagaland, P.B. Acharya, in exercise of the power conferred by Clause (I) of the Article 174 of the Constitution of India, has summoned the 13th (special) session of the 12th NLA to meet at 9:30am on August 26, 2016 in the Assembly Hall, Kohima.

This is it!

“India’s only two medals were won by women.

Proves that women are behind every nation’s success.”

Dressed in a green Tshirt, Kuldeep is heard begging his parents, uncle and Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to free him. “I am sick, I miss my parents. Please pay the ransom and get me released. I could be killed in a crossfire,” he is heard saying in Assamese.

The email to the media houses was sent by Arunodoy Dauhotia, assistant publicity manager for ULFA (I)- the faction led by Paresh Baruah.

The video is similar to the ones released by terror group ISIS of victims who have subsequently been beheaded, mostly on camera. “We’ve never had such a huge ransom demand, nor a video in ISIS style,” said M Mahanta, SP, Tinsukia district. “We are in touch with Arunachal Pradesh police to identify the location where it was shot.” Bolin Chetia, BJP legislator from Sadiya in Tinsukia district, said, “We are shocked. The government has ordered a full probe.” Kuldeep, who is married, was working with Chetia.

NEW DELHI, AUG 22 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday told Jammu and Kashmir opposition parties that “there has to be a dialogue” to end the weeks-long unrest in the valley but any solution to the problem will be “within the Constitution” of India.

The Prime Minister’s statement indicates that the government may be considering some political initiative on Kashmir where the overfive weeks long agitation has left nearly 70 people dead in clashes between pro-freedom protesters and security forces.

Opposition parties in Delhi as well as in Kashmir have been pressing for political solution to the unrest.

At a meeting with a delegation of opposition parties from the state, Modi expressed “deep concern and pain” over the violence in Kashmir and the loss of lives in the unrest.

“Those who lost their lives during recent disturbances are part of us, our nation.

Whether the lives lost are of our youth, security person-

nel or police, it distresses us,” Modi said, according to an official statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.

“There has to be a dialogue and we need to find a permanent and lasting solution to the problem within the framework of the Constitution,” he said.

Leaders of Kashmir opposition parties led by former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah urged the Prime Minister for a political initiative to deal with the unrest, complaining that the state and central governments had shown no political will to respond to the crisis -- the deadliest Kashmir has seen in six years.

Abdullah said they told Modi that Kashmir was not an issue related to the development or the lack of it. “It is a political issue and we told the Prime Minister that we need a political approach to deal with the situation in Jammu and Kashmir,” Abdullah told IANS. “If we don’t find a political solution to this, then every time we’ll repeat the

same mistake.” The National Conference working president said the they handed over a memorandum to the Prime Minister warning him against the “tried and tested formulations of dealing with the issue in Kashmir administratively rather than politically”.

“We are of the firm opinion that the central government should waste no further time in initiating a credible and meaningful dialogue with all stakeholders to address the unrest.” State Congress chief G.A. Mir said the meeting with Modi may augur well for Kashmir. “The Prime Minister agreed that development isn’t the only way out, indicating a thinking that a dialogue over Kashmir is being considered.

We are hopeful that it will happen soon.”

But Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari said the government had an incoherent policy over Kashmir with Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley “not on the same page”. He was referring to Jaitley’s remarks in Jammu on Sunday, ruling out any dia-

logue and warning that those indulging in violence would be dealt sternly.

The Prime Minister’s meeting with the Kashmir politicians comes as the valley remained under strict curfew for the 45th day in a row. The valley has been on the boil amid violent clashes between stone-throwing protesters and security forces since the July 8 killing of rebel commander Burhan Wani.

The clashes have also left thousands of people, including children, injured, mostly in pellet firing. Hundreds of the injured have partially or fully lost their eyesight after being hit by pellet guns -- a dangerous mob control weapons used in Kashmir.

The Kashmir delegation sought an “immediate ban on pellet guns” and also urged the Prime Minister “to advice relevant quarters against the policy of mass harassment, raids, and arrests” in the valley.

“This has worsened an already volatile situation and also goes against the values and principles of democracy.”

D I M A P U R , AU G 2 2 (NPN): Alleging that various departments were awarding contract and supply works through table tender without inviting open tender, the Nagaland Contractors’ and Suppliers’ Union (NCSU) has urged the state government to immediately stop such practices and cancel all the work orders issued through table tender and call for fresh open tender by inviting all the eligible contractors.

In a press release, NCSU president Pele Khezhie and general secretary John Kath said table tender system was illegal and total violation of norms and objectives of the state government. It further demanded for open tender for all contract and supply works in Nagaland as per government memorandum.

NCSU stated that representations have been repeatedly submitted to the state government and all the departments for strict imple-

mentation of government standing order. The union maintained that as per standing order only NCSU registered identity card holders were eligible for the tender.

Nagaland Contractors’ and Suppliers’ Union said it deputed its action committee officials to all the head of department (HoD) to ensure implementation of government order. NCSU has also directed all the district units to check all the head of department in their respective district and submit report to the head office for further necessary action.

The Contractors’ and Suppliers’ Union has further requested its district units to check those who have dual registration in other union and cancel of his/her membership.

Further, it warned that any contractor, firm or company without valid identity card of NCSU would be dealt with stern action.

Govt set to ban transactions over `3 lakh D&SJ reserves judgment NEW DELHI, AUG 22 (AGENCIES): Government of India is set to ban cash transactions over Rs 3 lakh as it seeks to clamp down on black money in the economy following recommendations from the Supreme Courtappointed Special Investigation Team (SIT).

The government, however, is yet to decide on the SIT’s other proposal to bar cash holdings over Rs 15 lakh due to opposition from trade and industry, sources told TOI. “There are concerns that this will result in harassment by tax officials,” an officer said.

The Rs 3 lakh-limit is aimed to ensure that transactions are made using credit or debit cards, cheques or drafts which can be easily tracked.

Despite the crackdown on unaccounted money, authorities continue to unearth several transactions involving purchase of jewellery or even cars in all cash deals. The finance ministry is also trying to promote use of plastic money and recently did away with transaction charges for government services.

In the past, businesses have cited payments to workers, espe-

cially smaller players, to justify large cash holdings. But the argument is seen to have become weak in the wake of a spurt in number of bank accounts, especially after Jan Dhan was launched two years ago.

The government has already initiated several steps, including banning cash advance of more than Rs 20,000 for property trans-

actions. The move came after income tax raids revealed unaccounted cash was often attributed to “recently concluded property transactions”. A similar limit has been placed on repayment of bank loans.

The SIT had suggested the twin moves citing examples of countries such as France and Italy, that allow transactions up to

a certain limit.The panel argued that cash transactions of over Rs 20,000 were rampant and often tax was not being deducted at source as prescribed under the law. “Question of levying penalty will arise only when such transaction comes to knowledge of I-T department because it is difficult to find out or locate the same,” the SIT said in its report.

on Neiphiu Rio’s petition

Correspondent

KOHIMA, AUG 22 (NPN): Upon hearing arguments on the petition filed by advocate for former chief minister and Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio for transfer of the case from the court of Chief Judicial Magisgrate, District and Sessions Judge Kohima Y. Maongkaba Imchen reserved judgment. Advocate for Rio in a petition had sought transfer of the case from the court of CJM Mezivolu Therie under Section 408 CrPC for trying the case. Advocate Ashipri Zho appearing on behalf of the petitioner(Rio), expressed apprehension that fair proceeding for justice cannot be expected from the court of present CJM on the ground that she is the sister-in-law of NPCC president K.Therie and also family-related to chief minister T.R.Zeliang.

Zho cited instances to explain the underlying reasons why his client has lost confidence on the court of present CJM and therefore pleaded for transferring the case to any other court.

Advocate Akito Zhimomi, appearing on behalf of the plaintiff Rosemary Dzuvichu (who had filed the case against Rio) argued that re-

spondent counsel’s ploy was merely to delay the case by seeking transfer to another court of his choice so as to obtain a favourable judgment. Akito therefore, pleaded with the D&SJ to dismiss the petition for transfer of the case. The argument lasted for more than two hours after which the D&SJ Maongkaba reserved judgment on the petition.

It may be recalled that Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) Nagaland Unit coordinator, Rosemary Dzuvichu had stated that an FIR was lodged at South Police Station, Kohima by two persons against Neiphiu Rio for allegedly submitting false graduation certificate at the time of filing of nomination papers for the election to the Lok Sabha in March, 2014.

The nomination papers filed by Rio stated that his educational qualification is BA Honours in Pol. Science and that he passed out from Kohima Arts College under NEHU, the note added.

On the other hand, Neiphiu Rio had furnished replies from the said college which owned up its error in stating he passed BA with honours, while issuing the duplicate mark sheet.

SSU on damaged hanging bridge DIMAPUR: Sodzulhou Students Union (SSU) has drawn its attention and concern over the hanging bridge, the only lifeline between Sodzulhou village and Seithekima village which was damaged recently, affecting hundreds of students who would commute everyday to many schools and colleges.

A press note by SSU president, Kevemesu Koza estimated that around 300 students were affected and many had to shell out Rs 200 to Rs 300 daily in order to reach the schools/colleges, with many of their parents as mere farmers.

It stated that this is taking an economic toll on them, while it has also been reported that now students were crossing the river in truck tyre tube.

SSU stated that this was not only risky but dangerous, putting their life on the line every day.

SSU therefore appeal to schools and colleges to be considerate and sensitive as many students are under stress due to this situation.

It also appealed NGOs/ departments that if there were any provisions, it would be pertinent to assist the student’s community financially so that their education processes are not hampered.

Meanwhile, Sodzulhou Students Union has also acknowledge Jacob Zhimomi, who along with the village elders is taking active role to find the solution.

The convention further recommended the JCILPS to insist the state government to formulate an acceptable bill for the regulation of Non-Manipuri people with due consultation and participation of all indigenous people of Manipur.

The convention also resolved to condemn the declaration of wanted tag, arbitrary arrest of Khomdram Ratan, former convener, JCILPS and release them and to extend full co-operaiton to the JCILPS to translate into action this recommendation of people’s convention.

Resource persons who shared their opinion in the new proposed bill observed that the latest proposed bill does not content any provision to protect the indigenous people of the state.

Amri Citizens slam trailblazers

IMPHAL, Aug 22: A oneday peoples’ convention organized by the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) Monday rejected the new proposed bill, Manipur Regulation of Non-local People Act, 2016.

Law experts were among the resource persons who studied the new proposed bill in depth during the peoples’ convention held at the auditorium of the MDU, Imphal under the chair of the JCILPS convenerin-charge BK Moirangcha and moderated by prof Ch Priyoranjan of Manipur University.

The new proposed bill had already been published in the local media besides uploading in the web portal of Manipur government which any individual can share their comments and suggestion to the proposed bill on or before August 24 (Wednesday).

While pointing out various flaws in the fresh bill to replace the Protection of Manipur People Bill-2015 which President of India had already withheld, the convention opposed the title “Manipur Regulation of Non-local People Act, 2016” itself.

Banwarilal Purohit Gwahati, Aug 22 (PTI): Banwarilal Purohit was today sworn in as the Governor of Assam. Chief Justice of Gauhati High Court Ajit Singh administered the oath of office and secracy to Purohit at the Raj Bhavan here.

Purohit succeeded Padmanabha Balakrishna Acharya, Governor of Nagaland who was Governor in-charge of Assam.

The oath of office was administered at the Durbar Hall of the Raj Bhavan and the function was attended by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and some of his cabinet colleagues.

An public personality inseparably involved in social, political, educational and industrial fields of Vidarbha

in Maharashtra, Purohit had plunged into active politics in 1977.

He had won election to Maharashtra Assembly for the first time in 1978 from Nagpur east seat, was re-elected in 1980 from Nagpur south and became a minister in 1982.

In 1984 and 1989, Purohit was elected to the Lok Sabha from Nagpur-Kamptee seat and was a member of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee of Defence Ministry.

He was re-elected from the Lok Sabha seat in 1996 and served as a member of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Home Affairs, Member of Standing Committee on Defence and Member of Public Sector Undertaking Committee.

Purohit is also credited with revival of ‘The Hitavada’, an English daily founded by Gopal Krishna Gokhale, the mentor of Mahatma Gandhi.

Under him ‘The Hitavada’ became a leading newspaper of central India and apart from its headquarters edition at Nagpur the daily also launched editions from Jabalpur, Raipur, and Bhopal.

Correspondent Diphu August 22: Troubled people of Amri (no 2) MAC ( member of autonomous Councill) constituency have resented over the representatives of Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) assimilation with the BJP after spending more than 15 years with the Congress simply to protect their self interest.

Stating that those representatives merged with the BJP for more money and for fear of investigation of corruption records, people in Amri stated that those types of leaders only change their clothes without changing their mindset. “Those are the same people who corrupted crores of people’s money during the Congress ‘regime.

Those are the same people who denied IAY schemes, widow pension, old age pension etc to the deserving persons. Will they look after the public and poor people after merging with the BJP?” they questioned.

The concerned citizens also appealed all the people of Karbi Anglong to vote for the right person irrespective of political parties for the sake of development of Karbi Anglong.

tection of indigenous people. It rather will facilitate influx of non-indigenous people.

JCILPS co-convener Ng Deba said “JCILPS stands not to support the bill, particularly the base year.”

The root of the issue of demographic imbalance in Manipur was after 1950 after the entry and exit system was lifted, reiterating JCILPS objection to the proposed January 21, 1972 as based year to define Manipur people. He demanded state that the base year should be 1951 based on the relevant documents of NRC 1951, Census report of 1951, electoral roll of 1952, Electoral roll of 1948 or any relevant documents for the same.

Deba further stated that the state government has failed to implement the agreement made between JCIPLS and government of Manipur onAugust 25 last year by not commissioning Manipur population commission, Manipur land reform commission, agreements made between AMSU and AMSCOC with government in 1980 and agreement made between AMSU and government of Manipur in 1994, which are under the purview of the state government.

CALLING NOTICE

(TSEMOMO) Hd. GB, EVC

SHILLONG, AUG 22: Over two lakh students across Meghalaya were on Monday affected by a strike called by schools teachers over the demand for provincialisation of teachers’ services. Chief Secretary K.S.Kropha has invited the agitating teachers for a dialogue on August 24 to discuss their grievances.

“Our eleven-day strike started today, and has affected more than two lakh students of government-aided schools ranging from the lower primary up to the higher secondary level across Meghalaya, mainly due to the unresponsive and adamant attitude of the government by not inviting us for talks,” said E.D. Nongsiang, chairman of the Joint Action Committee of All Teachers’ Associations of Meghalaya (JACATAM).

The JACATAM is a conglomeration of various school associations, from primary school up to higher secondary level, of deficit and adhoc system institutions.

The teachers have been agitating from July 27 to July 29 followed by a public meeting on August 5 to mount pressure on the ruling Congress-led government for provincialisation of their services.

“The government has forced us to resort to this strike for its double standards. We will intensify our agitation to put pressure on the government to fulfil our demands,” Nongsiang said.

However, he said the teachers association is open for dialogue if the government invite them. “We are open for dialogue but we will lift up our agitation only if the government implements our demand,” Nongsiang said.

“The very title of local people marginalized the identity of the long run and used national character and identity of the Manipur nation enjoyed during the kingdom period,” one of the five point recommendation adopted by the convention said.

The first point of the recommendation opposed the revision of the cut of base 1972 in the newly draft regulation, 2016. The new proposed cut of base year has distorted problematic in the matters of demographic imbalance, national identity and character, social, economic and unacceptable for the indigenous peoples of Manipur.

“The influx of non-indigenous population in Manipur was resulted in huge quantity after the abolition of the permit of entry and exit system of Manipur by Himmat Singh, the then chief commissioner of Manipur on November 18, 1950 after Manipur merged into Indian Union in 1949.

Hence, the People’s Convention adopted the year 1951 as base year.” The no. 1 recommendation said.

Two get death term for Jigisha murder

N ew D elhi , Au g 2 2 (IANS): A court here on Monday awarded death penalty to Ravi Kapoor and Amit Shukla for kidnapping and killing Jigisha Ghosh in 2009, saying the magnitude and brutality of the crime made it “a rarest of rare cases”.

Additional Sessions Judge Sandeep Yadav also sentenced the third accused, Baljeet Singh Malik, to life imprisonment.

Kapoor and Shukla looked impassive while Malik seemed shocked upon hearing the sentence.

The parents of Jigisha Ghosh, who worked as an IT executive, welcomed the verdict, saying justice has been done to their deceased daughter.

“I had hoped for the two convicts to get death penalty and that is exactly what has happened,” Jigisha’s mother said.

The court imposed a fine of Rs 1.1 lakh against Kapoor, Rs 2.8 lakh against Shukla, and Rs 5.8 lakh against Malik and directed that Rs six lakh be given to Jigisha’s parents as compensation from the amount collected from the convicts.

KU Chen unit flays...

(From p-1) area were having a positive outlook to the opening of the Indian-Myanmar road running via Throilu to Nyanching from Chenmoho, built jointly

by India and Myanmar to facilitate trade and communication, peace and development between members of the Konyak Naga tribe, who live on both sides of the border.”

Meanwhile, KU unit lauded the district administration, SDO Chen and Nagaland police officials led by Mon SP, Yangba Konyak and Village Guards assistant commandant, S.Laopa Konyak, who quickly responded by rushed to Chenmoho village and controlling the situation.

“Offence in the present case was committed in coldblooded, inhuman and cruel manner,” the court said.

“Innocent, helpless and vulnerable victim remained in the captivity of convicts for hours.”

The court observed that to save herself Jigisha handed over her debit card and other belongings to the convicts.

She also disclosed the PIN numbers of the debit card to the convicts.

The convicts killed Jigisha even after she pleaded for her life and were satisfied only by brutally mauling her to death, the court said.

“In other words, the convicts behaved in uncivilised and barbaric manner against a helpless girl,” the court said.

“It is the level, magnitude and degree of brutality, attitude and mindset of wrongdoer behind the crime along with other factors which makes it a rarest of rare cases.”

Gruesome crimes against women are on the rise and showing leniency will send a wrong message to the society, the court said.

Leniency will encourage

criminals like the convicts while passing an appropriate sentence in such cases will go a long way in arresting the increasing trend of crime against women, the court said.

In awarding death penalty to Kapoor and Shukla, the court relied upon a report submitted by probation officer which recommended extreme penalty, observing that they cannot be reformed and would be a threat to society.

The probation officer said Malik’s behaviour was normal throughout the trial.

The court on July 14 convicted the trio under Sections 302 (murder), 201 (destruction of evidence), 364 (kidnapping or abducting in order to murder), 394 (voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record), 482 (using a false property mark) with 34 (common intent) of the Indian Penal Code.

Public Prosecutor Rajiv Mohan sought maximum punishment for the convicts as they showed no remorse while killing Jigisha.

national/state India seeks Iraq help in release of abducted Indians New Delhi, Aug 22 (IANS): India has sought the release of 39 Indians abducted in Iraq while expressing support for “unity and territorial integrity of Iraq”, the External Affairs Ministry said on Monday.

Minister of State for External Affairs M.J. Akbar, who is on an official visit to Iraq from August 21 to 23, conveyed this while meeting the top Iraqi leadership, according to a statement issued by the ministry.

Among others, Akbar met President Fuad Masum, President of the Council of Representatives Salim al-Jabouri, Foreign Minister Ibrahim Al-Eshaiqer Al-Jaafari, and National Security Advisor Faleh al-Fayyadh.

“During the official meetings, the two sides acknowledged the grave threat posed by international terrorism and its sponsors to international peace and security as also the very architecture of nation state,” the statement said.

Both sides conveyed strong support to each other in their common fight against the menace of terrorism.

Media should avoid making terrorists heroes: Naidu Hyderabad, Aug 22 (IANS): Information and Broadcasting Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Monday referred to terrorism and violence as the biggest threat to humanity and advised media to avoid making terrorists heroes.

“Terror, terrorism and violence are the biggest threats to humanity. Terrorism has no religion, no colour and everyone in one voice must denounce terrorism. Media should not play into the hands of terrorists and avoid making them heroes,” Naidu said at a review meeting held at Doordarshan Kendra in Hyderabad.

The minister stressed the need for upholding credibility in dissemination of information by public broadcasters.

“Public service broadcasters have a great responsibility on their shoulders to ensure credibility in the era of competition.”

He said that public discourse should be guided by development rather than disruptive tactics and politics.

Naidu advised the public broadcaster not to jump to conclusions, but confirm the news before putting it out on air.

“A public broadcaster, while disseminating information, must abstain from obscen-

ity, vulgarity and violence,” he said.

“People in the media while producing programmes, plays, cultural programmes, must keep in mind India’s great heritage, culture, traditions and customs.” Naidu said that media must maintain high standards in informing the masses, keeping in mind the philosophy and guidelines established by the founding fathers in various spheres of public life.

He also advised the media not to get involved in either speculation or invention of news. “Let us not mix news with views and create a bad practice.”

Over 26,000 people rescued from 5 flood-hit states: NDRF

Submerged houses after heavy monsoon rain in Allahabad on Monday. (PTI) NEW DELHI, Aug 22 (PTI): More than 26,400 people have so far been rescued by the NDRF from the flood-ravaged areas in Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and other states.

The National Disaster Response Force has fanned out 56 rescue and relief teams to help people hit by heavy rains in various states and tasked two Deputy Inspector General-rank officers in Bihar and UP with monitoring the situation.

“So far, the NDRF teams have evacuated more than 26,400 people from various flood-prone areas in the country this monsoon season. Besides the rescue work, these teams have provided medical care to the more than 9,100 people in these states,” the force said.

The rescue operations are underway in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

In Bihar yesterday, NDRF teams evacuated 3,400 people from Didarganj, 580 from Bakhtiyarpur, 545 from Danapur, 380 from Chhapra, 355 from Vaishali and 15 from

Maner in Patna.

The force said 11 flood rescue teams rescued 275 people from Ballia, 275 from Varanasi and 325 from Chitrakoot in Uttar Pradesh yesterday.

147 marooned people were shifted to safer places from Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh yesterday.

“An NDRF team prepositioned in Sikkim conducted similar operations in Tingbung and Lingdang villages and evacuated more than 450 people yesterday,” it said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today promised total support to these flood-hit states in conduct of rescue and relief operations.

He said Home Minister Rajnath Singh is closely monitoring the situation and has spoken to chief ministers of of these states. Singh had a telephonic conversation with chief ministers Akhilesh Yadav (UP), Harish Rawat (Uttarakhand), Nitish Kumar (Bihar) and Vasundhara Raje (Rajasthan) this morning and took stock of the flood situation in their respective states.

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has drawn flak and ridicule for a photograph showing him being lifted by security personnel to cross a swollen nullah in the state’s Panna district to meet flood-hit people there, with the Opposition Congress saying it reflected his “feudal mindset”.

The picture, which has gone viral on internet with netizens taking pot-shots at the BJP leader, was issued yesterday by the State Public Relations department after his visit to the rain-ravaged district but was later withdrawn.

Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Arun Yadav said Chouhan’s “photo-stunt” for cheap publicity had backfired but Principal Secretary SK

Mishra contended that the Chief Minister was a ‘Z’ security protectee and the security personnel had to ensure that he is not bitten by any poisonous animal in the flood waters.

“Chouhan in a bid to garner cheap publicity has indulged in this photo stunt.

Instead of mitigating the problems of flood-hit people in Panna and other parts, the Chief Minister has himself become a problem for people (security personnel),” Congress leader Arun Yadav said.

He said that the “real face” of Chief Minister has been exposed in the photo.

“Now people know him well.

We seek his resignation over the photo, depicting his feudal mindset,” the Congress leader said.

This year, dengue cases have been reported rather early. The vectorborne disease claimed its first victim on July 21 when a girl from Jafrabad in northeast Delhi died at Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital.

Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan’s sister-in-law died of dengue on August

12 at Apollo Hospital here, though the municipal authorities have not officially acknowledged these two deaths. A total of 91 cases were reported in July, six cases were recorded in May, while June witnessed 15, it said.

Thirty-four fresh cases were reported till August 20 since the last count and the total number of cases so far in the city is at least 311, the senior civic official said. The capital city had seen 277 cases of the vector-borne disease till August 13.

To, The Editor, Electic Northeast, Saraswati Market, 2nd Floor, Above SBI, Sixth Mile Branch, Suruj Nagar, G.S. Road, Guwahati, Assam – 781022.

IN RE: SHOW CAUSE NOTICE.

Dear Sir, Whereas, it has come to the knowledge of the Sumi Hoho, the apex body of the Sumi Naga tribe in Nagaland that in the July issue of your esteemed “Electic Northeast” monthly magazine (hereinafter magazine), at page 40, an article on the issue of illegal immigrants was published for public reading all over the country of India.

And whereas, in the aforementioned magazine, a coloured picture of two women selling vegetables were shown with a caption “Two women in a market place in Dimapur. One of them belongs to a new Naga ‘tribe’ called ‘Sumiya’ – born out of a legitimate marriage between Sema or Sumi (Naga tribe) and Bengali-speaking Muslim men called Miya”.

And whereas, the picture of the aforesaid two women with the caption having depicted the existence of the new “Sumiya tribe” in Nagaland, exclusively arising out of the Sumi Naga women intermarriage with illegal immigrants. The Sumi Hoho is desirous to take immediate steps against the so called new Naga tribe “Sumiya” which is a threat to the Sumi tribe in particular and Naga tribes in general.

Now therefore, you are hereby called upon to Show Cause with proof and evidence of your claim of the existence of a new Naga tribe called “Sumiya” in Nagaland born out of Sumi Naga women intermarriage with illegal immigrants, either by way of producing the official recognition notification of the said tribe and/or any Sumiya tribe in person/woman in the picture and/ or a declaration certificate from the Officials of the Sumiya tribe before the Sumi Hoho within 15 days from the receipt of the instant show cause notice, failing which, the Sumi Hoho will take legal course of action deemed fit.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan visited the flood-hit Panna district on Sunday.

In social media, social activist Ajay Dubey posted the photo of Chief Minister being lifted by security personnel with a caption “I am a prince”.

Mr Dubey took a dig at Mr Chouhan saying the picture has revived memories of feudalism. Reacting to the photo, one Sachin Jain posted “Liability, isn’t it”.

Likewise, journalist Abhilash Khandekar, who had written Mr Chouhan’s biography, has reacted to the photo commenting it as “Inhuman.

Indecent.”

When a senior officer of State Public Relations Department was asked about the photo release, he said the picture was released by their Panna office to media houses and not by Bhopal office.

However, it was withdrawn yesterday evening itself, he added.

Meanwhile, defending Mr Chouhan, the Principal Secretary said the Chief Minister was having ‘Z’ security cover prompting his security personnel to lift him to ensure that any poisonous animal in water doesn’t bite him. “Nothing should be read into it,” Mr Mishra told PTI. “Chouhan in fact risked his life to cross the swollen nullah. He is too sensitive to people’s problems. He is meeting people affected by flood round-the-clock. We should appreciate his concern, sensitivity for the people rather taking it the other way round,” Mr Mishra said.

PM Modi promises Centre’s support to flood-hit states

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today promised Centre’s total support to five flood-hit states in rescue and relief operations.

He said Home Minister Rajnath Singh is closely monitoring the situation and has spoken to chief ministers of UP, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh to take stock of the situation.

“Centre assures total support in the rescue & relief operations. I hope the situation in the affected areas normalises at the earliest,” he said in a tweet. “HM @ rajnathsinghji is closely monitoring the situation. He has spoken to the CMs & taken stock of rescue & relief operations,” he said.

“I pray for the safety & wellbeing of those in areas affected by floods in parts UP, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan & MP: PM @narendramodi,” he said.

5 Centre sets up team on voter secrecy machine New Delhi, Aug 22 (PTI): A team of ministers has been constituted to take a call on using a new machine which prevents disclosure of voting pattern during counting to enhance voter secrecy.

The move comes against the backdrop of the Supreme Court asking the Centre to decide on the issue by next month.

The five-member team headed by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, was set up on the directions of the Prime Minister’s Office, to recommend to the Union Cabinet on whether the machines can be used.

The other members include Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.

The Election Commission had in 2008 proposed to use ‘totaliser’, which prevents disclosure of voting pattern during counting to enhance voter secrecy, and has received the backing of the Law Commission.

The issue was pending with the government. On August 5, a Supreme Court bench, while hearing a writ petition, gave the Centre eight weeks time to take a “final decision” on the issue and post the matter for further hearing in February, 2017.

“The writ petition has been coming up for hearing during the last two years in the Supreme Court, and the court has been pushing hard for taking a view in the matter at the earliest,” a Law Ministry note on the issue said.

The Law Ministry is the administrative ministry for the poll body.

The poll panel is of the view that with the use of totaliser, a further level of secrecy in voting and the mixing of votes at the time of counting will be achieved. It said the machine will prevent the disclosure of pattern of voting at a particular polling station.

Centre’s two-pronged policy

W

hile national media have repeatedly described the recent clash on August 19 between NSCSN (K) armed cadres and supposedly the special unit of the army as “a surgical strike” inside Myanmar’s territory; the Army has refuted reports of intrusion inside Myanmar. Rather, it was clarified that the incident took place within India near the international border. Sources in Mon had reported the firing/clash took place near Throilo within Myanmar. Section of the national media had also widely reported that the clash/ambush etc. involving the special unit with NSCN (K) took place inside Myanmar.

According to national media, highly placed government sources had disclosed that the troops had crossed the international boundary near border pillar 151 near Chen Moho in Mon district and that clash between the two forces took place on August 19 at around 3.3.0 a.m. The August 19 strike by the Indian Army inside Myanmar is the second after the “surgical strike” in June last year after insurgents had killed 18 soldiers in Manipur.

After the shocking attack on a convoy of a unit of the 6 Dogra Regiment where around 18 died, the army was ordered to launch counter-insurgency operations to trace and eliminate the militants involved in the attack. However, according to national media the strike inside Myanmar to eliminate those involved did not achieve the objective as only seven members of the 253 Mobile Battalion of the People’s Liberation Army of Manipur, were killed but none from the NSCN(K) and other Manipur valley group who were involved. New Delhi has made it clear a number of times, that those who rejected talks would be hunted down and destroyed. Since the NSCN (K) comprises of Nagas from both India and Myanmar, both the governments of India and Myanmar have their respective roles in responding to the problem. It may be pertinent to note that for decades, Nagas have expressed a clear desire to be free from the climate of ever-present fear of sniping, assassinations and military operations. As stated, whether it be Nagas from either India or Myanmar, they are the same people and the Naga political issue also involves them. What actually led/made the NSCN (K) to abrogate the cease fire is another matter, but Delhi has to exhibit its sincerity in keeping its doors open. The government of Nagaland has been urging the Centre to re-enter into a cease fire with the NSCN (K) and also appealed to the latter to respond to public demand. For Nagas, what also matters a lot is the continued activities of various outfits. The public in several districts have even aired the feeling that the cease-fires have been rendered meaningless because of violations by the factions and failure of the authorities in enforcing the ground rules. Paving way for peace would demand that government strictly maintain a peaceful atmosphere that encompasses every aspect of good governance. It also means that peace for solution would have to involved all factions of society. The issue is complex and it would require the best efforts of both the state and central governments, the public and leaders of various political and tribal organisations to make a renewed bid to get all factions on board.

I

think it is possible that what we see as the Universe could simply be a collection of blood cells floating in plasma/ ether inside another body.

Imagine if we were simply a floating cell in the stomach of a large being. The cells inside us could be worlds of their own and they could have astronomers in there who look at other cells and call them stars. The human body is not a collection of “human” cells. We are a world, a planet, of millions of creatures which are simply not human and which, seen under a microscope cause a normal person to recoil in horror!

More than 70% of the human body is made of other beings. If an artist were to paint a body looking through a sophisticated microscope, what you would see is a hybrid creature like the man-lion-eagle form of mythology, except with many more combinations of beasts. At least 500 species of bacteria, weighing about 1.5 kg, live inside the human gut.

Firmicutes and Bacteroides are the main families that live inside your intestine. They break down carbohydrates and make essential nutrients like vitamins K and B12. They battle all the time with the bad bacteria warriors. Good bacteria —notably members of the Lactobacillus family—inhabit the vagina, secreting lactic acid and fending off hostile invaders like Candida albicans.

Microbes, fungi, virus,

animals, insects – all of them contribute to making a “human being”. For all the creatures that live in and on us, our bodies are simply food. Like us, bacteria on the surface jealously guard their home and invading bacteria find it difficult to find nutrients and space to grow.

Invading bacteria can also be attacked by existing bacteria using chemical warfare.

In fact, you are not even the only animal using your face.

In the vicinity of your nose, there are at least two species of microscopic mites living in your pores. Demodex mites are microscopic relatives of spiders and ticks that live in and on the skin of humans. These eight-legged beasts live inside the follicles of the eyelashes, coming out at night to roam over your face feeding on skin cells. Generally, they live out their lives unnoticed. But if they multiply then they cause mange, rosacea and blepharitis in humans. Every human sample of DNA has also shown demodex mite DNA as well.

The two species on our faces, Demodex folliculorum (long, skinny) and Demodex brevis (short, chubby), are not even close relatives. We just share the same space. And just as we have different racial traits so do the mites: D. brevis mites from China are genetically distinct from mites from the Americas, East Asians and European populations.

Thousands of different

Nagaland Post, Dimapur tuesday, August 23, 2016

Striving to multiply nations of microscopic bacteria- each shaped and coloured uniquely- live on the tongue, teeth, skin and in the intestine.

Perhaps strangest of all are the self-replicating, virus-like pieces of DNA that infected ancient humans, and make up about 8 percent of all our genes. Your body is home to 90 trillion or so microbes which live peaceably. And some really bad ones, like herpes simplex who stay dormant for years or human papillomaviruses which cause pimples, boils and warts, cause surface membranes to erupt in nasty pustules or warts.

There are more than 100 types of papillomaviruses and they can extend to causing cancers of the cervix, penis, vagina, anus, and rectum.

From time to time bedbugs, fleas, ticks and lice attack. The more common one is the louse that settles down in a schoolchild’s hair, sucks on human blood and cements its eggs to our hair. The human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus, looks a lot

like the human head louse, but it lays its eggs in the seams of clothing. Overcrowded living conditions and lack of access to clean clothes and bedding help infestations spread, causing typhus and trench fever. The 800 species of ticks feed on many hosts, including humans, and they pass along a menagerie of pathogens, from the bacterium that causes Lyme disease to the virus responsible for Colorado tick fever. The human botfly lays its eggs on a mosquito that passes them on to the human.

The botfly larvae burrow into the skin and feed on the host’s tissue for a month or two before emerging.

Bed bugs are tiny, beige creatures that feed on human blood. They pierce the skin of their host with hollow, tubeshaped tongues. Fleas burrow into their host’s skin and suck their blood. They also feed on the faeces of other fleas.

Scabies mites don’t suck your blood; they eat your skin. Living in burrows just beneath the surface of the skin, scabies

mites cause intense itching and a pimply red rash. Although the mites themselves are too small to see, their burrows sometimes appear on the skin as raised ridges. People that live in leech infested areas can get small leeches in their noses or between their fingers/toes.

Here are some of the alien species that enter your body: Trichophyton and Epidermophyton are filamentous, parasitic microbes that latch onto bare feet. These species creep into the toenails and display themselves as athletes foot. They move higher and reach the scalp and genitalia, where they trigger ringworm and jock itch.

It is estimated that there are over 100 different types of parasitic worms that can be found living in humans.

Many are tiny, while others grow long. When small they travel around the blood stream finding suitable places to grow and develop. They can cause diarrhoea, fatigue, skin rash, nervousness, asthma, anaemia and more. The Guinea worm’s larvae live in the water you drink. Once the larvae get into the stomach, they pass through the digestive track and enter the anus areas where they grow into three-foot-long adults who poke through the skin.

The Filarial worm lives in the human lymph system brought in through mosquito bites. The worms grow into adults, living up to seven years.

Although most people with lymphatic filariasis will not develop symptoms, a percentage will suffer from excess fluid in the legs, arms, breasts and genitalia.

The eye worm, or loa loa, comes through deerfly bites and causes itchy swellings .

You can see the tiny worm inching its way across your eyeball.

Flatworms include Tapeworms and Flukes. They feed on the blood, tissue fluids, or pieces of cells inside our bodies and range in size from microscopic to 20 metres long.

Tapeworms live in human intestines where they feed on the partially-digested food in their host’s intestines.

Roundworms, like Pinworms, Threadworms, Hookworms, Ascaris and Heartworms, have hollow bodies and generally grow between 2-5 inches long.

Some of the smallest animal parasites in the human body are called protozoa.

Protozoa breathe, move and reproduce by splitting into two. Amoeba are single-celled animals. They come through water/ food.

Post-mortem

Transformation of Nagaland by Water supply system and roads in Nagaland strengthening citizen participation A

T

he involvement of citizens in the development process is very essential and the strategies for increased citizen participation in governance should be genuine participation of all members of society, particularly the poor, to discuss and share their experiences and ideas. It involves ordinary citizens assessing their own needs. It is important for improving public resource management and reducing corruption, by making public servants and political leaders accountable to the people. For citizen participation to work, transparency of government information is needed, as well as the inclusion of members into decision-making from groups under “Freedom of Expression” and access to information.

Excluding the weak and powerless from decision-making is a cause of poverty because it denies them rights and creates unequal power relationships. To increase awareness and to empower citizens through the discussion body “National Concern Initiatives” having more than thousand members of farmers, disabled, students, unemployed and poor public from various districts are working hard and discussed on various public grievances and have jointly surveyed every development status and public benefits in the last 4 years.

As a result, it has been remarked that the general public benefits and development performance

is not on its right track. The actual benefits of the beneficiaries and work implementation have been responded negative on ground reality. The basic needs are not being met, not being treated fairly and resources are distributed unfairly.

Now, it is obligatory by bringing together citizens’ groups and government officials to jointly formulate program plans which will ensure equitable distribution and provision of goods and services under Transparency and Corruption free in cent percent Christian State. It is important for the government to consider citizenship rights and democratization.

In Nagaland, it is crystal clear to see the livelihood status of the Poor & Rich. Meanwhile, we are blessed and lucky to have our present Governor of Nagaland P.B. Acharya who has shown his heartiest concern over poor household Nagas expressing as on Nagaland Post-dated 11th June 2016. We are glad to review few important points below: 1. Acharya touched on various issues that were matters of concern in the state such as corruption, backdoor appointments, poor performance of government schools, implementation of central schemes, and expectation of solution of the Naga political issue lamented on the poor performance of government schools at the recently declared results of HSLC and HSSLC ex-

aminations despite expenditure of a huge amount of money.”

2. Acharya highlighted on the importance of the department and how it would be able to bring change not only within the state but also at the national level. Lack of transparency source of corruption P. B. Acharya -One major source of corruption arises because of lack of transparency, Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya said and emphasized on the need to have accountability for good governance, possible only through transparency in operation.

The Governor appealed to all administration, institution and individual officials, the need to bring about greater transparency and accountability in the system of governance to minimise corruption.

All citizens shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression under Article 19 in the Constitution of India 1949 that freedom of speech of a citizen may be an aid to good governance. It is highly expected from various leaders, departmental officials, and state authorities that any common public must be allowed to express their grievances and rights. All the NCI members from various districts had held a meeting and ready to discuss the same with the Central Government for making certain changes in policy adoption and development initiatives particularly.

s you are all aware that some 70 years ago India got freedom from British rule and since then the aspirations of the people for their upliftment has been raising higher and higher which is mingled with the ever increasing population growth. Both the Union and the State Government have been doing their best to provide maximum benefits to the people through various programmes and schemes launched by the Government of India from time to time. Although all the demands and wishes of the people cannot be fulfilled at a stretch, atleast their basic minimum needs must be fulfilled so that they also enjoy the fruits of freedom in a realistic manner so that India becomes a good tree bearing fruits for ordinary and common people and the people as a whole realise the reality of freedom. In the State of Nagaland almost all villages, administrative centres were provided with tap water some 60 years ago. But by now, the water tanks in the villages have become dilapidated. Their condition is so bad that water spreads around them in the nearby ditches causing water born diseases like malaria, dysentery and diarrhoea etc. In most of the villages, administrative circles and even in the capital town of Kohima, most of the water pipes are broken which needs special attention and consideration by the Department before it is too late.

In view of the above, it is imperative that the Ministry of Rural Development should take up major repair/replacement works of all the old and rusted water pipe lines on a war footing so that there is no scarcity of water during dry season. The people living in Kohima town suffer heavily due to scarcity of water and they are even compelled to buy water at high cost for their daily needs causing economic burden on its citizens.

Secondly, India, as growing and developing nation, is free from foreign rule and they have already celebrated 70th Anniversary of Independent’s Day including Nagaland. We earnestly wish that she will become a good tree bearing fruits to be enjoyed by entire citizens. But in reality, it is proved otherwise. There is no stable and strong National Highway for comfortable traffic movement in the State of Nagaland and that the people are annoyed and angry.

The N.H. 39, now 29, built during the IInd World War by the British Government is still used by both the States of Nagaland and Manipur. The State Government under Roads & Bridges, constructed so many roads in the State and even connected all the villages. But these roads are not properly maintained and as such frequent accidents occur causing injuries to travellers or loss of life. Even in Kohima town there are many roads named after Ex-Chief Ministers/ bureaucrats and high ranking Officers.

But these roads are never maintained for several years and the condition of the roads are deteriorating which appears like Nullah. Even the Hon’ble Governor of Nagaland P.B. Acharya severely criticized the Government for their failure and bad performance. Earlier interior roads like Kohima-Meluri-Zunheboto etc. Roads were constructed and maintained by Border Roads Organisation. But after these roads were taken over by Maytus Gayotri Company for two lane purpose, they carried out their works very haphazardly and roads are worst than before, unable to ply safely endangering human lives causing heavy damage to the vehicles.

We urged the responsible leaders to be serious enough to ponder with all the courage to fulfil the aspirations of the common people.

DailyDevotion Land of Nagas under Rejoinder to discrepancy in distribution of RMSA teachers foreign invasion T “I Indeed. . . But He” N I indeed baptize you with water…but He…will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. —Matthew 3:11 Have I ever come to the point in my life where I can say, “I indeed…but He…”? Until that moment comes, I will never know what the baptism of the Holy Spirit means. I indeed am at the end, and I cannot do anything more— but He begins right there— He does the things that no one else can ever do. Am I prepared for His coming? Jesus cannot come and do His work in me as long as there is anything blocking the way, whether it is something good or bad. When He comes to me, am I prepared for Him to drag every wrong thing I have ever done into the light? That is exactly where He comes. Wherever I know I am unclean is where He will put His feet and stand, and wherever I think I am clean is where He will remove His feet and walk away.

Repentance does not cause a sense of sin— it causes a sense of inexpressible unworthiness. When I repent, I realize that I am absolutely helpless, and I know that through and through I am not worthy even to carry His sandals.

Have I repented like that, or do I have a lingering thought of possibly trying to defend my actions? The reason God cannot come into my life is that I am not at the point of complete repentance.

“He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” John is not speaking here of the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience, but as a work performed by Jesus Christ. “He will baptize you….” The only experience that those who are baptized with the Holy Spirit are ever conscious of is the experience of sensing their absolute unworthiness.

“I indeed” was this in the past, “but He” came and something miraculous happened. Get to the end of yourself where you can do nothing, but where He does everything.

his rejoinder is necessitated due to publication of an article with faulty statistics about GHS, Khuza authored by one so called writer named Nuthizolu , PR Hill, Kohima under the caption “Discrepancy in Distribution of RMSA Teachers in The State” which appeared in the local dailies on 12th August, 2016. As per the article, the writer is a lady and is stressing on some serious issue which GHS, Khuza is enjoying abnormally.

Therefore, on behalf of the School Management & Development Committee, Govt High School, Khuza we had to occupy some space here, so as to rectify the misconception that might have been created in the minds of the intellectuals alike by that article.

Yes, the 2016 enrollment for Cl-9 & 10 of Government High School, Khuza under EAC Khuza Hq. Phek is nil but, the reason should not be beyond the comprehension of such a person who is well versed with the educational set of the School.

By the time of its up gradation to a High School on 16th Dec, 2011, there were two Graduate Teachers of state cadre viz. Math & General, one Subject Teacher/ Instructor each for Tenyidie, Hindi, Carpentry, Knitting, Physical Education, Drawing and one Graduate Teacher (General) got posted through Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) recruitment in March 2013. That makes up to 9(nine) teaching staffs but all teaching staffs for elementary section cannot be SSA appointees because SSA appointments are made only in 2010 and 2013 to teach scholastic subjects and 80% of our teaching staffs have been serving for 15 years or more with some on the verge of retirement. Here, we want to enlighten her with the working system of government schools of our state, for she had portrayed different subjects and the class standards that

exist into a composite whole.

The government of the day’s policy is not only about reading and writing but also to equip the students with technical skills. Those technical subjects are categorized as coscholastic subjects whose instructors may not necessarily be a graduate, but must have an expertise to teach their respective subject matter. They are: carpentry, knitting, physical education and drawing. The other category is called scholastic subjects and they are Math, Science, Social Sciences, Grammar, English Hindi, Tenyidie. In our case, we had a full strength of technical staffs but dearth of teachers to cover the scholastic subjects. When the Subject Teacher for Math, Tenyidie and Hindi deals with their respective subject matter, each one having four classrooms to cover i.e. from Class 5 -8, the two General Graduate Teachers remaining will have to share the remaining, including General Knowledge which is altogether, 20(Twenty) subjects.

Then, the first batch of cl-9 was admitted in 2013, the 2nd batch the next year and it goes on for three consecutive years. Will it make sense when students are enrolled just for the sake of showing data and occupying the classroom or should we ignore the lower classes and emphasize only onto those appearing NBSE Board exam? The answer has to be pragmatic because, the Elementary Section itself have 24(twenty four) scholastic subjects as stated, to be shared by 3(three) Graduate Teachers and so, the School Management authorities on realizing that spoiling a student’s career is more disastrous than having a fewer enrollment of the School, had anticipated for the appointments of RMSA at the right time for quite long, confused whether to enroll the new batch or not to do so, but it was a bit late. Our outgoing students are already resuming their classes in

their new schools by the time; the joining reports of the new appointees reached the School.

An arithmetic genius is displayed when TSR 14:35 was exemplified and many readers might have agreed with that. Does it mean 14(fourteen) teachers to teach 35(thirty) students is not a normal practice? If so then, that’s a wrong concept. Teacher appointments are made according to the availability of the subject and not the other way round and GHS, Khuza must surely be amongst the schools in the state having the least no. of teaching staffs for, the Subject Teacher’s post against English and Science for Elementary Section is still vacant.

Is it illegal for a RMSA appointee to assist in teaching Elementary Section in a school where children are deprived of quality education owing to acute shortage of teachers?

Elementary stage is as important as the secondary stage for it will surely determine the rapid or stagnant progress at the secondary level.

Yes, it’s legal for anybody to argue about the rights having legal sanctity, but that argument should not be a mockery to ones commit-

ment. It’s also interesting to come across such a statement depicting the wrong data about the school at a time when there is a tussle between The School Management & Development Committee and a certain RMSA appointee over the claim of the later having the right to place his proxy, by virtue of the enrollment for Secondary section against which the appointment being made is nil and the stance of the Committee in applying equal yardstick with ‘no pay for no work’ regardless of their nature of appointment.

Now, it’s not difficult to comprehend the motive and the authenticity of the writer who is none other than our own comrade, but Dear, as cited above, equal yardstick had to be maintained because the situation for the 2nd half of the year is more complicated owing to the intervention from the District Administration and the order of the Hon’ble Education Minister of the State to reform the faulty system of education.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

For a job well done

I on behalf of Neisatuo Colony Dimapur would like to express our profound appreciation to the Rengma Church Dimapur for beautifully repairing the culvert which is located way to Notun Bosti road.

The damaged culvert had made the road very narrow almost impossible even for a single vehicle to pass. Therefore the Church deserves a heartiest appreciation for restoring it. May the good Lord bless them with good health and wisdom in all their future endeavours.

Didn’t give clean chit to Amnesty: K’taka minister

International. “The (police) commissioner has made a statement which will be on record. It is left to the police and the IO (Investigating Officer) to take action accordingly - whether to close the case; whether to take it forward ... I am not going to interfere in that.”

Parameshwara rejected the charge by some Union ministers that the state government was protecting Amnesty International and had virtually given it a clean chit.

He asked the Centre to get the activities of the NGO probed and take action accordingly.

“Why they (central government) think that we in Karnataka are trying to protect them, trying to give them (Amnesty international) a clean chit and all those things.

“They (BJP) have the government of India in their hands and also all investigation agencies in their hands.

Let them find out what Amnesty international is doing and take action accordingly,” he said.

“Nobody can stop the Centre or the Union home ministry or any other agency which is responsible for that (from probing Amnesty’s activities),” he added.

Parameshwara had on August 20 said Amnesty has never involved itself in any kind of anti-national activities.

“I have not heard of Amnesty International being involved in any seditious activity so far,” he had said.

BENGALURU, AUG 22 (PTI): Under attack over the Amnesty International row, Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara on Monday said he had not given a clean chit to the rights advocacy group, which has been booked for sedition for hosting an event where antiIndia slogans were allegedly raised.

“First of all let me clarify because there is a lot of talk in the media about it ... let me be very clear, I have not given any clean chit to Amnesty International,” Parameshwara told reporters here as he went into damage control after his remarks drew sharp criticism.

“All I have said is that I have not heard Amnesty International being involved in any anti-national activity.

Second thing is, there is an investigation going on, and I am not a fool to say that everything is well,” he said.

To a query, Parameshwara said his remarks had been misinterpreted. “Of course, I have been misinterpreted. That is why I did not want to react to it unnecessarily,” he added.

“Now that the investigation is going on, the law will take its own course. That’s all I have said and I am also standing by that statement,” he said.

He said he is not going to interfere with the probe as home minister and it has been left to the police to decide on the next course of action against Amnesty

ing of Extreme Weather Events in the context of Changing Climate’.

This is the second meeting and is the follow up of the first meeting of the BRICS ministers for disaster management convened by the Russian Federation in St Petersburg.

The Ufa Declaration signed by BRICS nations in July last year identified the need to promote cooperation in developing responses to emergency situations.

Rijiju called upon BRICS countries to collaborate for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) saying it will influence the global agenda for strengthening efforts on DRR and resilience.

He said that India is willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with other BRICS nations and explore all possible areas of collaboration and added that disaster risk reduction was a high priority area for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

BAN: Business Association of Nagas (BAN) through its media cell vehemently condemns the heinous act and as a business association looking out for the interest of Naga businesses it would not tolerate such criminal act on Naga businesses. It stated that business community has always borne the brunt of taxations and harassment by different NPGs and all the while business community has been left to fend for themselves.

BAN along with Naga Business Association Kohima (NBAK) will stand by the victim and ensure that justice was served and that work toward ensuring that such incidence does not happen.

BAN further demanded the state government and the district administration to immediately arrest those responsible for this criminal act, stringently award punishment as per the law and immediately work on toward bringing about a sense of security to its citizens, particularly to the business community.

BAN also called upon all Naga businesses not to pay any tax to any factions and to uphold the people’s resolution of one government one tax and warns the NPGs not to test the ire of the Naga people.

He said that the world is facing new challenges in the field of disaster management due to rapidly increasing urbanisation, population and arbitrary exploitation of natural resources and the new policies should be incorporated while considering these challenges.

Rajasthan disaster management and relief minister Gulab Chand Kataria said that the state government provided relief to farmers and transferred Rs 2,467 crore to bank accounts of those who suffered losses in crops due to hailstorm last year.

Udaipur, Aug 22 (PTI): The concept of disaster management should be incorporated in designing buildings and infrastructure and for making a smart disaster control programme which is workable from top to bottom, Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said Monday.

“Disaster management should be in our thought.

Houses, roads, shopping malls, schools, colleges and other buildings should be designed and constructed and even street poles should be installed in accordance with this thought,” Rijiju said here while addressing the inaugural session of twoday meeting of ministers for disaster management from the BRICS countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

He said that the policies should be incorporated while ensuring participation from the people.

The minister said that

Kolkata, Aug 22 (PTI): President Pranab Mukherjee Monday called for greater collaboration between academia and industry for converting the country’s demographic dividend into an opportunity.

“India has a big demographic dividend. But that dividend will be of no use if we cannot transform it into an opportunity by making it industry-ready. Then it will become a huge liability,” he said at an interaction organised by CII here.

Mukherjee said there is need to impart skill so that the employability increases in the world job market.

“This is only possible when we build a truly knowledge economy. We must emphasise on innovation and that is not possible without the partnership of the industry and academia,” he said.

The President said India’s expected growth rate in the next two calendar years is 7.5 per cent and there is also a possibility of revival of the manufacturing and industrial sectors.

“For this there is not only a need for a conducive policy environment, but also creation and infrastructure like industrial and freight corridors following which FDI flow will rise,” he said.

The four things which wild aid in such an effort were the ease of doing business, creation of infrastructure and industrial corridors, increased FDI flow and openness to the IPR regime, he said.

“Only opening up more sectors to FDI is not sufficient”, Mukherjee said.

DIMAPUR: Naga Business Association Kohima (NBAK) held a joint meeting on August 22 with various frontal tribal Hohos, student bodies, youth organisations and ACAUT relating to the August 19 assault case against one Naga Businessmen who was also the member of NBAK by one GPRN-NSCN (Unification), Region Commander Pitovi and two of his accomplices.

NBAK media cell stated that the joint meeting while condemning the incident passed resolutions that the state government agency immediately arrest region commander Pitovi and two of his accomplices at the earliest and book them under NSA. NBAK also asked the GPRN-NSCN (U) authority to immediately terminate from the region commander from service. It further demanded unconditional apology from the GPRN-NSCN (U) authority to tender unconditional apology and assured the safety of the victim as well as his family members.

NBAK stated that if the demand of the joint meeting could not be fulfilled, the NBAK along with the frontal organisations, student bodies and youth organisations would resort to its own course of action. NBAK also reaffirmed in principal to support the ACAUT stand on ‘one government, one tax”.

The US dollar was firm against global currencies in overseas markets on rising prospects for a rate hike by US Federal Bank, which hit the rupee sentiment, a dealer said. Investors, too, turned cautious over the upcoming redemption of the FCNR-B deposits, even though RBI has reiterated its commitment to provide enough liquidity, another dealer said.

S Korea-US military drill Turkish wedding blast victims mostly minors 26/11 LeT financier shadowed

by N Korea threats sent to judicial remand tack groups involved,” said a spokesman for the KPA General Staff.

The slightest violation of North Korea’s territorial sovereignty would result in the source of the provocation being turned “into a heap of ashes through Korean-style pre-emptive nuclear strike,” the spokesman said.

Pyongyang has made similar threats in the past, and actual retaliation to South Korea-US military drills has largely been restricted to firing ballistic missiles into the sea.

As the drill began, South Korean President Park GeunHye said a recent spate of headline-grabbing defections from North Korea signalled political turmoil in Pyongyang that could cause the leadership there to lash out against the South.

“It is increasingly possible that North Korea may undertake various terror attacks and provocations... to block internal unrest, prevent further defections and create confusion in our society,” Park told a meeting of her National Security Council.

Her comments came a day after the Unification Ministry in Seoul urged all citizens to be on guard against possible North Korean assassination attempts on defectors and anti-Pyongyang activists in the South.

Landmark ICC trial on destroying cultural sites

Tokyo typhoon leads to flight cancellations

Lahore, Aug 22 (PTI): The alleged financier of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, who supplied nearly Rs 4 million to the LeT men, has been sent to judicial remand after the Pakistani anti-terrorism court hearing the case did not allow the FIA to have his custody for more days.

Sufayan Zafar has joined the other six suspects - Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hammad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Mohammad Younis Anjum - in the high-security Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, where they are lodged since 2009.

Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operations commander Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi, the mastermind of the Mumbai attack, is living at an undisclosed location after being released from jail on bail over a year ago.

The anti-terrorism court sent Zafar on the judicial remand on Saturday noting that the Federal Investigation Agency had been given enough time to probe the suspect, a source in the FIA told PTI today.

He is accused of providing Rs 3.98 million to coaccused Riaz through account no. 2338-2 of the Muslim

Mali, Aug 22 (Agencies): An Islamist militant has admitted destroying cultural sites in Timbuktu, Mali, in a landmark trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi said he was “really sorry” for his actions and asked for forgiveness.

He was accused of leading rebel forces who destroyed historic shrines at the world heritage site in 2012.

It is the first time that the court in The Hague has tried a case of cultural destruction.

It is also the first time a suspected Islamist militant has stood trial at the ICC and the first time a suspect has pleaded guilty.

Prosecutors said Mahdi was a member of Ansar Dine, an Islamist group that occupied Timbuktu for months.

Islamists regard the shrines and the city’s ancient manuscripts, covering everything from history to astronomy, as idolatrous.

Court documents describe Mahdi as a religious scholar who directed fighters

Commercial Bank’s Drigh Road branch in Karachi and account no. 2464-0 of the Allied Bank’s Drigh Colony branch in Karachi prior to the Mumbai terror attack.

During interrogation by the FIA, he was quizzed over providing millions of rupees to the suspected terrorists of the Mumbai attack case, his relations with them and other absconding suspects, the source said.

“The FIA has interrogated Zafar for providing financial assistance to the co-accused in the Mumbai case besides his connection with the terrorists and the LeT. He was also interrogated for the channel/source from which he got the huge sum of money to provide it to the co-accused,” he said.

Zafar was absconding after being declared proclaimed offender in the Mumbai case.

He was arrested early this month (on August 3 or 4) from his hideout in KhyberPakhtunkhwa province. A resident of Gujrawala district of Punjab - some 80 kms from Lahore, Zafar is among 21 other absconding suspects wanted in this high-profile case.

According to court documents, the other suspects who

allegedly arranged funds for the attacks include undertrial Ahmed and Anjum and proclaimed offenders Mohammad Usman Zia, Mukhtar Ahmed, Abbas Nasir and Javed Iqbal.

The FIA wanted more time to investigate him further, the source said, adding that the agency would indict him along with the seven other suspects of the case in the trial court after completing his challan.

The trial court will resume the hearing of the case on September 7 after over a month-long court summer vacation.

Defence lawyers are of the view that indicting Zafar along with the seven accused may further delay the conclusion of the case, which has been pending in an anti-terrorism court (ATC) since 2009, due to repeating the exercise of cross- examining witnesses in the light of the new arrest.

“Since the trial is being conducted under Section 21-M of the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997, Zafar may be tried along with seven suspects for an offence they are alleged to have committed in connivance with each other,” Raja Rizwan Abbasi, counsel for Lakhvi, told the Dawn.

Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi appears Monday at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands. to wreck several sites with pickaxes and chisels after failing to deter locals from praying at them.

He was charged with war crimes over the destruction of nine mausoleums and a mosque.

Pleading guilty, he said: “I am really sorry, I am really remorseful, and I regret all the damage that my actions have caused.

“I would like to give a piece of advice to all Muslims in the world, not to get involved in the same acts I got

involved in, because they are not going to lead to any good for humanity,” he added.

Given his guilty plea the trial will probably be over by the end of this week. He faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in jail.

Nine victims are later due to share their experiences in court.

Human rights groups say their presence is especially significant in demonstrating how the destruction of cultural heritage not only harms buildings but tears through the

At the time, Unesco said the attack on the shrines of local saints was “tragic news for us all”.

Timbuktu is famous for its distinctive mud and wood architecture. It was a centre of Islamic learning between the 13th and 17th centuries and was added to the Unesco world heritage list in 1988.

Ansar Dine, an extremist militia with roots in the nomadic Tuareg people, has ties to al-Qaeda. It was eventually driven out of Mali in a French-led intervention.

The court has previously heard that Mahdi, a former teacher aged about 40, was a “zealous member” of the militia. He is alleged to have been the head of the section that enforced strict Islamic law in Timbuktu.

Timbuktu was a centre of Islamic learning from the 13th to the 17th Centuries.

Tokyo, Aug 22 (Agencies): A strong typhoon packing heavy rain and wind has struck near Tokyo, grounding hundreds of domestic flights.

Typhoon Mindulle made landfall at about 12:30pm local time (04:30 GMT) in Tateyama city, some 80km (50 miles) southeast of the capital.

The storm packed gusts of up to 180 km/h (112 mph), and was headed north at a speed of 20 km/h, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

Officials have warned of landslides and flooding.

“In Tokyo... please exercise caution for landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, surging rivers, violent wind and high waves,” said the weather agency. There were no official reports of casualties, however local media reports said at least two are feared dead. Passengers stand in queue for reimbursement at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan, 22 August 2016, as typhoon Mindulle hits eastern Japan.

On Sunday, a would-be child bomber was captured by security guards in Kirkuk -- a city in northern Iraq with a large Kurdish population.

Broadcaster Kurdistan 24 aired footage of guards apprehending the teen and stripping him of his suicide vest before he could strike.

The bomb str uck in crowded streets of the Beybahce neighborhood of Gaziantep’s Sahinbey district on Saturday night during celebrations for the wedding of a Kurdish couple.

Gaziantep is about 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of the war-torn Syrian city of Aleppo.

Turkish news agency DHA broadcast footage showing the bride and groom over-

come by emotion as they returned to the blast site at an apartment building that was home to the groom’s parents and where the newlyweds were to live after their wedding.

Distraught to revisit the scene of so much bloodshed, the couple were rushed back to the hospital for treatment, with the overwhelmed bride carried into the ward by her husband and a relative.

The pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party said in a statement that the wedding was for one of its members.

It added that the bombing resembled other suspected ISIS attacks on the party in Turkey, such as in Suruc in July 2015 and in Ankara in October. The latter attack, targeting a peace rally near the capital’s central railway station, claimed more than 100 lives, making it the deadliest terror attack in modern Turkish history.

B’desh drafts law against defaming 1971 War Dhaka, Aug 22 (PTI): Bangladesh’s Cabinet today approved a draft law with a provision of life imprisonment and Tk 1 crore compensation for defaming the 1971 Liberation War against Pakistan and the country’s founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

“The proposed law suggests that if anybody conducts propaganda against the War of Liberation and its spirit, Father of the Nation ‘Bangabandhu’ Sheikh Mujibur Rahman or the Liberation War issues, which are resolved by the court, through electronic media, he or she will suffer maximum life imprisonment and the minimum three-year imprisonment and the highest Taka 1 crore (about USD 1.27 lakh) fine or both the punishment,” Cabinet Secretary Shafiul Alam told reporters.

Management, using digital devices.

Officials earlier said the proposed law sought to replace sections of the existing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) (Amendment) Act, 2013 - meant to deal with cybercrimes that could cause financial and administrative damage to the country.

They said the draft law would not replace the ICT Act but scrap provisions which were incorporated in the new proposal.

The new law has been proposed while Bangladesh already has Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act-2006 in effect and it recently drafted Liberation War Crimes Denial Act-2016 to check distortion and denial of established historical facts related to the 1971 war against Pakistan.

The 1971 war was a revolution and armed conflict sparked by the rise of the Bengali nationalist and selfdetermination movement in then-East Pakistan.

Seoul, Aug 22 (AFP): South Korea and the United States kicked off large-scale military exercises today, triggering condemnation and threats of a pre-emptive nuclear strike from North Korea.

The two-week annual Ulchi Freedom drill, which plays out a full-scale invasion scenario by the nuclear-armed North, is largely computersimulated but still involves around 50,000 Korean and 25,000 US soldiers.

The exercise always triggers a spike in tensions on the divided Korean peninsula, and this year it coincides with particularly volatile cross-border relations following a series of high-profile defections.

Seoul and Washington insist the joint military drills are purely defensive in nature, but Pyongyang views them as wilfully provocative.

T h e N o r t h Ko r e a n Foreign Ministry today condemned Ulchi Freedom as an “unpardonable criminal act” that could bring the peninsula to “the brink of war”.

The Korean People’s Army (KPA), meanwhile, threatened a military response to what it described as a rehearsal for a surprise nuclear attack and invasion of the North.

North Korea’s frontline units were “fully ready to mount a preemptive retaliatory strike at all enemy at-

Gaziantep (Turkey), Aug 22 (CNN): Twenty-two of the 54 victims of a devastating bomb attack that struck a Kurdish wedding celebration in southern Turkey were children, a Turkish official said Monday.

The revelation added a fresh layer of horror to Saturday night’s bombing in Gaziantep that killed 54 and wounded dozens of others -- the deadliest in a string of blasts across Turkey this year.

As the dead were swiftly laid to rest, in accordance with Islamic tradition, their loved ones spoke of their agony.

Emine Ayhan, who lost four of her five children and whose husband was seriously injured, told Turkish television: “If my remaining child was not alive, I would commit suicide.”

Hakki Okur, 14, was among the young victims. His cousin, Mesut Bozkurt, recounted searching for the teen throughout the night following the blast before his family was summoned to the hospital to identify his body.

“No injuries on his head but burns on his chest.

We think he may have been trapped in the panic since he was a skinny boy.”

The latest bombing stunned Turks -- not just for the high death toll but also because Turkish officials say the bomber was between 12 and 14 years old.

Donin Yeng with some of his exhibitions in the background. (NP)

A

two-day premier photography exhibition on the title, “A walk into a fading heritage”, was held at heritage Old DC Bungalow Kohima commemorating the world photography day by Donin Yeng the founder of “fading heritage” a media production firm documenting the fading culture of North East region by means of photography and video documentation.

The exhibition consisting of various collections like our culture, our people and our

place concluded on Monday.

Interacting with the media persons at the exhibition spot, Yeng said the key area of interest in the documentation works done are to preserve, protect and promote the festivals and the rich old cultural heritage of the North East region for the upliftment of our culture, people and place so as to bring people from around the world closer to North East through the photos. Further he said it was not just another photo exhibition but an ex-

hibition with a social cause driven with a purpose.

Yeng said he was a travel photographer working all across North East India including the neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar. Adding he said has travelled various districts of Nagaland during various tribal festivals and took photography of various moments.

Yeng shared that the idea to start this “fading heritage” (media production to document the NE culture) was provoked when the mainland people treat the North East people differently though from the same country as he has experienced while working at Delhi. He said through photos can speak lots about people, culture and place and it would bring people around the world closer to the North East India.

He exhibited hundreds of his photos collection especially which were collected from Mon district during Aoleang festival.

Bale doubles guides Real to victory

Gareth Bale celebrates with his Real Madrid team-mates after he scored his side’s first goal against Real Sociedad.

Cincinnati, Aug 22 (Agencies): Czech Republic’s Karolina Pliskova beat Angelique Kerber in straight sets to take the title at the Cincinnati Open and deny the German the world number one ranking.

Pliskova upset Kerber 6-3, 6-1 on Sunday to win the tournament and claim her seventh career title.

Before the match, Olympic silver medallist Kerber was one win away from becoming the women’s world No 1, a position occupied by the United States’ Serena Williams since February 2013.

The result means Williams, who withdrew from Cincinnati with a shoulder injury, is just three weeks away from equalling the 186-week record set by Steffi Graf.

Wimbledon runner-up Kerber, who had said all week she was keeping the number one possibility out of her mind, got off to slow starts in both sets.

She went down an immediate pair of breaks in the first set and lost her first service game in the second on the slippery slope to defeat.

The momentum mounted fast for Pliskova on a sunny day after a week of poor weather and rain.

The Czech clinched the opening set in 32 minutes and needed just 62 minutes in total to see off the German.

Kerber fell into a 5-1 deficit in the second set after a double-fault to allow Pliskova to serve out the biggest win of her career a game later on a second match point.

ward one.

Zidane’s side began with great intent and had their first goal almost immediately, as Bale showcased his aerial prowess to send a powerful header beyond Geronimo Rulli from Dani Carvajal’s cross.

The home side did not produce much of a response and almost found themselves two behind midway through the first half, but on this occasion Rulli got down to his right and brilliantly kept out Kroos’ 20-yard strike.

Sociedad did improve, however, and they should have equalised, only for David

Bengaluru FC may leave I-League in 2017 Mumbai, Aug 22 (Agencies): Bengaluru FC might well be one of the two new teams competing in the Indian Super League (ISL) from 2017 onwards. According to International Business Times UK, a source reveals that the club is all set to bid adieu to the ILeague and join the franchise based tournament after this season.

ISL is currently not the recognised league of the country and I-League serves as the top tier recognized league of India. However, as All India

Football Federation (AIFF) announced a few months ago, ISL will become the top tier tournament with I-league being the 2nd tier in a three-tier format. There are 8 teams as of now and AIFF have already said that 2 more teams will be joining from 2017, making it a 10 team tournament.

Reports suggest that there will be no promotion or relegation for the first few years of the league. It is believed that ISL will be a closed league for a few years as a contract exists between ISL

franchises, IMG-Reliance and AIFF as all franchises have invested a huge sum of money and want to be financially stable in the near future.

Bengaluru FC, which is owned by Mumbai-based JSW group, joined the I-League gaining direct entry to the ILeague in 2013 and went on to win the league in their debut season. They won it again last season to make it two titles in a span of three years, stamping their authority as a potent force in India, under Ashley Westwood.

New Delhi, Aug 22 (Agencies): From Sports Minister to the Athletics Federation, officials indulge in blame game after marathon runner OP Jaisha revealed that there was no official to provide her with water during the grueling 42km long marathon at the Olympics. The national record holder fainted after completing the marathon due to severe dehydration.

Now, having returned from the Games, Jaisha shockingly revealed that while athletes of other countries were being provided refreshments at regular intervals by their officials, Indian runners were left to refresh themselves at the

When we contacted the Athletics Federation of India, they blamed the athlete & her coach. AFI secretary CK Valson told India Today, “It is the responsibility of the athlete & her coach to ask us to provide refreshments. We cannot feed the athlete anything from our side. We had provisions but neither Jaisha nor her coach asked us that they would be needing them. Moreover there were water stations along the marathon route in Rio. It is wrong for the athlete to blame AFI after the incident”. India’s long distance coach Nikolai Snesarev, who also trains the likes of Lalita Babar and Sudha Singh, was detained in Rio after he confronted a lady doctor for not letting him meet Jaisha after she had fainted.

The Belarusian was only released after the intervention of the Indian embassy in Brazil.

Jaisha could not register her personal best and finished in 89th place. But it’s a wonder she finished the race at all despite no support from those who were responsible to support her.

Narsingh intentionally took substance in tablet form: CAS New Delhi, Aug 22 (PTI): While handing down a four-year ban on Narsingh Yadav, the Court of Arbitration for Sports has ruled that the wrestler failed to produce any “real evidence” regarding the sabotage theory he had advanced and the balance of probabilities” was that he orally took the banned substance intentionally in tablet form on more than one occasion.

In its full award, the ad hoc panel of the CAS relied on expert evidence that Narsingh’s dope offence was not due to one-time ingestion of

the prohibited substance and its concentration in the first test result (of June 25) was so high that it had to come from an oral ingestion of one or two tablets of methandienone, rather than from a drink where the powder had been mixed with water.

The expert opinion was given by Professor Christiane Ayotte from Canada who was presented by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Professor Ayotte is a member of IAAF Doping Commission since 1995 and was elected representative of the Heads

of IOC Accredited Laboratories in 1995-1996. She is currently the Director of the WADA-accredited laboratory in Montreal.

Narsingh’s urine sample taken out-of competition on June 25 was found to contain metabolites of methandienone and long term metabolite of methandienone. Another sample taken out-of competition on July 5 was also found to contain long term metabolites of methandienone. “...all in all found the sabotage (s) theory possible, but not probable and certain-

ly not grounded in any real evidence. The panel therefore determined that the athlete had failed to satisfy his burden of proof and the panel was satisfied that the most likely explanation was that the athlete simply and intentionally ingested the prohibited substance in tablet form on more than one occasion,” the CAS panel said.

The CAS had handed Narsingh a four-year ban in its ‘operative award’ on August 18 barely hours before his 74kg freestyle opening bout was scheduled.

Rio water stations provided by organisers at every 8km.

Speaking to India Today an emotional Jaisha revealed, “Indian officials were not there nor was any refreshment or water kept at the Indian counters while other countries had water and refreshment in their counters. We got water only after every 8km where organisers had kept water, but that was not enough.

Our body is not used to this temperature. It was 42 degree and it was not possible to run without water” When India Today confronted the Sports Minister Vijay Goel, he simply passed the blame to the Athletics Federation of India. Goel told India Today “Whenever such small incidents happen we always investigate. It was the responsibility of the Athletics Federation of India to take care of the athletes and I am being told that Jaisha has complained to them. The federations should take care and they do, but if there has been a mistake then it should be looked into”.

Pliskova denies Kerber no 1 ranking

league debut for the club, justifying Zinedine Zidane’s decision to start him ahead of James Rodriguez and Isco.

Toni Kroos went close to adding a third when his volley crashed against the crossbar in the second half, with the home side showing no indication of salvaging a result and Bale rounded the keeper to wrap up the victory in stoppage-time.

Madrid had opted to sit back for much of the second half and looked a potent threat on the break, and although appearing to be playing within themselves, their triumph was a straightfor-

Zurutuza to inexplicably miscue a pass across the face of goal, robbing Juanmi of what would have been a simple tap-in.

That wasted opportunity proved costly five minutes before the break when Asensio latched on to a lofted Raphael Varane pass and showed exceptional composure to lift a clever lob over the approaching Rulli.

Alvaro Morata started the second half like he had a point to prove and felt aggrieved to be given a yellow card for simulation instead of a penalty when appearing to be caught in the area by Inigo Martinez.

The striker was in the thick of it again shortly after, running at the defence before seeing his blocked shot fall kindly for Kroos, who struck against the bar from just inside the area.

Sociedad did finally craft a chance in the closing stages, but Marcelo got back brilliantly to produce a perfectly timed last-ditch tackle on Mikel Oyarzabal.

A feisty encounter eventually reached boiling point when a scuffle saw Sergio Ramos – who along with Varane had comfortably kept the hosts at bay - and Yuri pick up yellow cards.

Madrid then put the result firmly beyond their hosts in the fourth minute of added time – Bale racing beyond the defence after James’ pass and coolly rounding Rulli to tap in his second as he started the season in lethal fashion.

Madrid, Aug 22 (Agencies): Gareth Bale’s double and superb Marco Asensio strike ensured Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence was not felt as Real Madrid began their 2016-17 LaLiga campaign with a comfortable 3-0 win at Real Sociedad.

The Portugal star is still struggling with the knee injury he suffered in the Euro 2016 final, but Bale netted inside two minutes to calm any early nerves and the away side rarely looked like dropping points thereafter.

Rio bids colourful farewell to 2016 Olympics

(L) Fireworks light the sky during the closing ceremonies for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games. (R) Flag bearers enter the stadium.

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 22 (IANS): Rain drenched Rio partied and brought out the myriad and diverse culture of Brazil, saluting the nation’s music maestros, traditional arts and dance forms, as the 31st Olympic Games - the first in South America - drew to a colourful close here on Sunday.

Tradition and modernity merged during a nearly threehour-long closing ceremony, watched by over 60 thousand people at the historic Maracana stadium, and millions across the globe on television, with the nagging showers and a strong wind failing to dampen the spirits of the 11 thousand odd athletes who mingled freely in the true spirit of Olympic camaraderie and bid farewell to each other cutting across national barriers.

Over 3,000 volunteers and 200 actors took part in the ceremony that resembled a carnival mood with intoxicating beats of Brazilian music interspersed with moments of nostalgia and a wrenching feeling of sadness when International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach officially declared the games closed and urged the youths of the world to converge in Tokyo in 2020 for the next edition of the quadrennial

Sania moves alone at top of WTA rankings

Sania Mirza

CINCINNATI, Aug 22 (Agencies): Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza has romped into the number one spot in the latest WTA doubles rankings after she teamed up with her new partner, Barbora Strycova of Czech Republic to win the Western and Southern Open.

Mirza and Strycova outclassed her former Slovakian partner Martina Hingis and Coco Vandeweghe 7-5, 6-4 in the summit showdown clash that lasted one hour and 22 minutes in Cincinnati.

The 29-year-old Indian will move alone to the top of the rankings as Sania and Hingis ended their highly successful partnership last month with mutual consent.

Following the match, Mirza admitted that it was not easy for her to compete against Martina while pointing out that that the duo are still good friends. “I’m not going to lie.

It’s a very difficult situation.

It’s not easy because we are still good friends, so it’s never easy.

The first we tournament we split and we come and we have to play each other. Of course there is no better match to play than the final, so was difficult, I think for both of us,” Mirza said.

Mirza, however, said that being a professional tennis players, they have to come out and give their absolute best to seal a victory.

“It was going to happen eventually. We had to play against each other at some point. I think it’s better that it happened earlier, as soon as we came out, because next time it’s obviously less difficult to play,” she added.

Earlier, in a joint statement posted on Twitter, the topranked women’s doubles pair stated that they had mutually decided to split following their recent defeats against lowerranked players.

showpiece.

“I declare the games of the 31st Olympiad closed. In accordance with tradition , I call upon the youth of the world to assemble four years from now in Tokyo, Japan, to celebrate with us the games of the 32nd Olympiad. Bye bye Rio,” Bach said.

“We arrived in Brazil as guests, we leave as your friends.

You will have a place in our hearts forever,” he told the Maracana while receiving a thunderous warm applause.

A little earlier, in a customary handover ritual, the flag of Greece - the host of the ancient Olympics and the stage of the first modern games in 1896 - went up and the Olympic flag was lowered and handed to the Mayor of Rio, who gave it to Bach.

Silence and emotion took over Maracana, with Bach presenting the flag to Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike in a symbolic gesture to the Asian city, now busy preparing for the games - the biggest sporting extravaganza in the globe.

The Olympic flame was extinguished with singer-actress Mariene Castro crooning ‘Pelo tempo que durar’, that spoke of “the time we have left”, and narrated the impermanence

of life and nature’s constant change. The rain soaked Castro, and aided in extinguishing the torch that had burnt in all its glory over the past 17 days, during which 206 teams -- including a first ever refugee squad -engaged in a fierce competition over 306 events.

The US, with 121 medals ( 46-37-38) took the top position, leaving closest challengers Great Britain far behind at 67 (27-23-17).

China took the third slot claiming one gold less than Britain but overall three more medals (26-18-26).

India finished 67th with a silver won by shtuttler P.V. Sindhu in Women’s singles and a bronze claimed by wrestler Sakshi Malik in women’s freestyle 58 kg category.

Sakshi incidentally carried the Indian tri-colour at the closing ceremony where some other athletes and officials also took part.

The closing ceremony began with a connect to the opening show of August 5 by again celebrating the spirit of Brazilian aviator Santos Dumont, as the countdown to the party began courtesy a wristwatch.

The Brazilians hold that Dumont was the first man to wear a wristwatch as he

wanted to see the time while flying his aircraft. Performers formed distinctive shapes of Rio’s landmark sites like Sugarloaf Mountain, Corcovado Mountain and the Arches of Lapa, as figures clad like multi hued birds “flew” over them.

The over 25 thousand years old cave paintings found in North Eastern Brazil’s Serra da Capivara National Park were also focused upon, as was

Pakistan dethrone India to reach No.1 Test spot Dubai, Aug 22 (IANS): Pakistan cricket team on Monday topped the International Cricket Council (ICC) Test team rankings for the first time after the final Test between India and the West Indies was called off due to wet ground at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, the world cricket body stated on Monday.

India could not defend the top spot which it had reclaimed from Australia on August 17 and is now currently placed at second spot with 110 points -- one behind Pakistan and two ahead of third-ranked Australia. India had entered the series on 112 points, 44 points ahead of the eighth-ranked West Indies. Misbah-ul-Haq’s side has

now become only the fifth team after Australia, England, India and South Africa to top the ICC Test rankings since these were introduced in 2003. Reacting to their ascent to the top spot, an elated Misbah-ul-Haq said, “There is no greater feeling than to achieve the number one ranking in the most traditional and purest format of the sport.

This is what cricketers play for and want to achieve in their careers.” “Number one ranking is a reward for something we had planned as a group a few years ago and have worked extremely hard to achieve it. To top the Test table, which boasts some of the best sides and players, is something to be very proud of.”

“I want to compliment ev-

eryone who has been involved in the process, including all the players, the support personnel, the management, as well as our loyal fans and followers who remained committed to us and continued to back and support the side through the good and not-so-good days.”

“For us, the number one ranking is not a destination but part of a journey. Our longterm objective and strategy is to remain competitive, continue to challenge the top sides with good cricket and once again become the most followed side like the Pakistan teams of yesteryears. If we can achieve these on a consistent basis, then I am sure there will more laurels like this down the line,” he added.
