KOHIMA, AUG 1 (NPN): State capital, Kohima has been hit with its worst calamity in recent memory, where landslides, mudslides and sinking of land continue to pose serious threat to citizens, forcing many families to move out of their houses in some areas.

Condition of the main road to Civil Secretariat, Sonoru worsened on Wednesday morning, making it difficult to ply even light vehicle. Further subsidence narrowed the road, posing a huge threat to commuters.

The condition of road near Soul Harvest Church also turned from bad to worse, affecting three families. According to an affected person Vira, cracks occurred inside the church and their houses forcing some family members to take shelter outside. Sinking cracks have also emerged in a large area in Para-medical from the riverbed till the main highway.

Govt machinery on high alert to meet challenges, says Rio Rio writes to Modi, seeks Central help

DIMAPUR, AUG 1 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, Neiphiu Rio on Wednesday said that the government machinery has been put on high alert and all possible measures and preparedness exercises have been put in place to meet the challenges caused by heavy and incessant rains in the state.

structure and properties all over the State, besides claiming precious human lives.

He said landslides have damaged national and state highways disrupting vehicular traffic at many places and snapped power lines and communication networks.

Supply of essential commodities, including petroleum products, to all district headquarters was not possible and stocks were getting depleted, Rio said, adding that Aspirational District of Kiphire too had been cut off. In the foothills and plain areas, floods have caused enormous damage to life and property and that

entire colonies and villages had been submerged, the chief minister said.

Rio explained that while the local media had extensively covered the calamity, there was hardly a mention in the national media and thus it had become essential to draw “your attention to the calamity we are facing in Nagaland.”

Government agencies in coordination with Nagaland Disaster Management Authority were making all out efforts for restoring damaged infrastructure and taking measures for relief and rehabilitation.

IMPHAL, AUG 1: Normal life in Manipur came to a grinding halt on Wednesday due to general strike called jointly by three leading civil society organizations (CSOs) and supported by various other organisations. United Committee Manipur (UCM), All Manipur United Club Organization (AMUCO) and Committee of Civil Society Kangleipak (CCSK) gave strike call in protest against Centre’s alleged intention to extend Article 371 (A) to Manipur.

According to reports collected from various sources, the strike evoked good response from the people across the valley districts even though there was little impact in the hill districts. The strike was by and large peaceful, except people in large numbers taking to the streets and blocking the roads by making human chains, catching fire, stretching log and piling stones and debris.

At some places, strike supporters shouted slogans denouncing Centre’s alleged intention.

There was report of brief tension along Imphal-Moreh section of NH-102 at Singjamei area in Imphal after strike supporters blocked even the movement of ambulances and media persons even as they were relaxed from the purview of the strike. At some places in Thoubal and Bishnupur districts, besides blocking the roads, local youth clubs and women bodies organized sit-in protest showing solidarity to the cause of the CSOs. State government took up security measures to prevent any untoward incident during the strike by detailing large number of security personnel at sensitive areas, particularly in the twin Imphal districts. The strike that commenced July 31 midnight was due to end Thursday midnight.

KU appeals regarding Mon District Hospital BJP reconstitutes state team DIMAPUR: Konyak Union (KU) on July 27 submitted a representation to the minister for Health and family welfare regarding requirements and suggestions for District Hospital Mon. According to a press release from KU president Manlip Konyak and general secretary Honang Konyak, in the representation, the KU said that the sanctioned amount of Rs. One crore which was exclusively earmarked under Special State Plan for procurement of equipment for District Hospital Mon (DHM) should be duly executed with proper & thorough consultation with the Hospital Management Committee (HMC). It also asked for intensive caution so as to avoid any anomalies & irregularities.

The union also asked that an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) be immediately installed at the hospital since it was a necessity in tune with the Indian Health Standard norms “No op-

eration without ICU”.

In the representation, the union expressed profound gratitude for the up-gradation of DHM to a 100 bedded facility but also pointed out some necessities. In accordance with the norm that every 100 bedded hospital should have a nursing school, the KU asked that the department should ensure that the completed nursing school and hostel building should be manned with sufficient tutors and students.

The union further said that DHM is being sustained with only eight doctors and up-grading to the 100 bedded building would be illogical if the number of doctors is not increased.

The KU, therefore, asked that the number of doctors be increased to 22. In addition, with the up-gradation, the department would also be required to deploy 60 nurses for efficient running of the 100 bedded hospital.

The union further demanded that the 14 casual

workers, appointed during the MSF period, be absorbed into the facility and also appealed for the creation of 20 additional posts for casual workers.

In the press release, the union stated that the notion of Mon district being a “remote” area, which “State Govt policy makers had always considered such evil tagging through utmost absorption,” had been upheld for long. This has given rise to a “state of stagnancy whereby the actual purposes & avenues were left un-absorbed, un-explored and unfurnished.”

The union pointed out that Mon district is situated at a strategic and advantageous location bordering Assam & Arunachal, and two districts of Nagaland (Tuensang & Longleng) and Myanmar in the East.

It asked the concerned minister & department consider the “most popular maxim ‘Medicine knows no borders’” and fervently appealed to them to consider the union’s plea.

Temjen Imna holds meeting with BJP Wokha

DIMAPUR: Temjen Imna Along, who is also the president of BJP Nagaland, held a meeting on July 30 at BJP office Wokha district and exhorted all the party rank and file to make all efforts to strengthen the party from the top to the grass root level.

A press release from BJP Wokha president, Meribemo Kinghen and district media secretary in-charge BJP Wokha, Cyrus James Tungoe stated that the minister reminded them that they all had chosen to become a politicians so they should not expect high posts at once and fulfil their present stations with sincerity, hard work, dedication and integrity. He said that once the BJP party was not favoured by many saying it was a Hindu RSS party but now people were eying to grab power by holding the important posts. Along however main-

tained that only the capable and seasoned leader could reach the top post. He also encouraged the gathering to build up the habit of going to church and to pray more.

“As a Christian BJP it is the responsibility of every one of us here to project the image of the BJP as normal as many political party we have in a Christian state like us. So that together we work for peace and unity and let people know the love of God through our lifestyle, good work and our integrity”, the press release quoted him as saying.

BJP organising secretary, Anand Narayan Mishraji, and Kisan Cell president, Senkathung Jami, also delivered short speeches. The program was chaired by BJP Wokha president, Meribemo Kinghen while vote of thanks was delivered by M James Tungoe.

JD(U) state unit wants NRC-like exercise

DIMAPUR: Janata Dal (United) Nagaland state unit on Wednesday said that the party has decided to put up an agenda in the next meeting of the Peoples Democratic Alliance (PDA) for carrying out a similar exercise of updating the NRC in Nagaland in the form of thorough electoral revisions or any other methods that could be appropriate and deemed fit with December 1, 1963 as the cut-off date and year. JD (U) Nagaland through its media cell recalled that a massive electoral revision exercise was conducted by the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) some decades back. However, it said due to various reasons, a successful conclusion could not be reached. “Nevertheless, a beginning was made and an awakening bell was sounded,” the JD(U) unit stated. It, however, cautioned that indigenous rights and privileges of Nagas and other rightful non-Nagas based on the cut-off date and year should not be misused by any individual or authorities so as to accommodate other nonindigenous people. The JD(U) unit also asserted that indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland should not allow any outsiders to infringe upon their rights under any circumstances.

RMSA teachers threaten class boycott

DIMAPUR: Nagaland RMSA Teachers Association (NRMSATA) 2016 batch has threatened to stop going to work over the non-release of four months’ salary. In a press release, NRMSATA-2016 president, Sao Venuh, and general secretary, Haisoliabe, said it was unbecoming of the government to not pay the salary of teachers until they resort to agitation. With prices of commodities soaring, they said it has become very difficult to survive with meagre fixed salary that too without being credited for several months. Asserting that it has become impossible to carry out our duties on an empty stomach, NRMSATA-2016 appealed to the government to pay salaries at least for the sake of the students if not for teachers’ sake. The aggrieved teachers expressed dismay that in spite of the famous catch phrase “change is coming”, nothing has changed for them. “Our salary has not increased a single paisa since our appointment in 2016 and even worse, we are not paid for 4 months straight,” they said.NRMSATA-2016 has, therefore, cautioned that the teachers would have to stop going to work if their salary was not paid at the earliest.

available with them to support their claim, he added.

The EC voter enrolment exercise is independent of the NRC, though authorities responsible for the two lists are working in sync.

“The EC, with its objective of ‘no voter to be left behind’, has asked CEO Assam to coordinate closely with State Coordinator NRC so as to ensure that all eligible persons are included in Electoral Roll during Summary Revision 2019.

This way a final Electoral Roll will be published on January 4, 2019, to be used for general elections 2019,” Rawat had said yesterday.

The complete draft of the NRC, published earlier this week, in Assam has included 2,89,83,677 people out of a total 3,29,91,384 applicants.

Names of around 40.07 lakh applicants did not figure in the document.

At the time of last assembly elections in 2016, Assam had about 1.99 crore voters, out of which about 1.69 crores (84.72 percent) cast their votes, as per the information available with the state’s chief electoral officer.

Shillong, Aug 1: Following the successful conduct of National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, Meghalaya’s powerful Khasi Student’s Union (KSU) on Wednesday demanded that a similar exercise be conducted in this mountainous state so that people of doubtful antecedents will be flushed out of the state.

“The KSU after observing the NRC exercise conducted in Assam which based March 24, 1971 as the cut-off year, wishes to propose to the Meghalaya government to expedite a similar exercise so that people of doubtful antecedents will be flushed out of the state,” KSU President, Lambokstarwell Marngar demanded.

A delegation of the KSU met deputy chief minister, Prestone Tynsong and submitted a petition emphasizing the need to expedite a similar NRC exercise in the state. Marngar said that Tynsong has promised that the issue would be taken up for discussion in the cabinet besides stating that the government would put in place mechanisms to address influx problem including setting up of entry and exit points in various parts of the state to detect illegal immigrants entering Meghalaya.

Noting that the first mass migration of outsiders into the regions of the

present Meghalaya was in 1971 during the Bangladesh Liberation War, Marngar said “The migrants mostly refugees of Bengali origin were from the then East Pakistan. Since then, the small state of Meghalaya had been witnessing excessive and unabated influx of migrants from different parts of the South Asian sub-continent especially Bangladesh, Nepal and people from mainland India.” “If such a trend continues unchecked, then there is a likelihood that Meghalaya will become like Tripura or Assam whereby indigenous communities are reduced to minorities within their homeland,” he added.

Proposing 1971 as the cut-off year to segregate genuine and non-genuine residents of the Meghalaya, Marngar said, “If such an exercise is implemented in Meghalaya then it would be able to segregate the genuine and the non-genuine residents of the state and also will contribute immensely to the continuous survival of the indigenous communities of the state.”

Marngar feared that 40 lakh people in Assam who failed to find their names in the NRC, may infiltrate into Meghalaya which shares a 900 kilometer long border with Assam even as the union pointed out to the fact that there is a lack of stringent mechanism to curb and combat the menace of influx.

New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI): Chief Election Commissioner O P Rawat on Wednesday said that the NRC and electoral rolls are “very different”.

With 40 lakh people failing to get their names on the draft National Register for Citizens (NRC) in Assam, the poll panel told PTI that an exclusion from this list would not automatically result in their removal from the electoral rolls as registration of voters is decided by the election laws.

He said the NRC is just one element that affects the electoral roll and quoted provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1950 to say that anybody can register as an elector if that person is a citizen of India, is above 18 years of age on January 1 of the year of enrolment, and is ordinarily a resident of the constituency in which enrolment as a voter is sought.

“These three conditions have to be fulfilled with documentary evidence and that person can be enrolled in the electoral roll,” he said.

Giving an example, Rawat said there can be a person who has not applied for the NRC in Assam but may be living

He also directed officials to provide immediate financial and medical assistance to people severely affected by rains.

Meanwhile, an SUV plunged 15-20 feet after a service road caved in alongside the Agra-Lucknow expressway today following heavy rains, prompting the state government to order a probe. No one was injured in the accident, officials said.

According to Relief Commissioner Sanjay Kumar, 148 people were killed in rain-related incidents in the state since July 1.

“During this period, 122 persons were injured, while 177 cattle also died and as many as 1,185 houses damaged,” he said.

According to the Met office, more rain and thundershowers are likely at most places over the east and at many places in the west Uttar Pradesh tomorrow.

Moderate to heavy rain

and thundershowers occurred at most places of the state today, it said.

Nanpara (Bahraich) and Baheri each recorded 15 cm rainfall, followed by Haidergarh (Barabanki), Safipur and Nighason (11 cm each), Bareilly (10 cm), Lucknow, Unnao, Kannauj (9 cm each), Bareilly (8 cm), and Fatehgarh, Fatehpur, Bhatpurawaghat, Mathura (7 cm each).

According to a Central Water Commission report, the Sharda river was flowing above the danger mark in Paliakalan (Lakhimpur) and near the mark at Sharda Nagar (Kheri), while the Ghagra river was above the red mark at Elgin Bridge (Barabanki) and at Ayodhya (Faizabad). While the water level of the Ganga river was rising in Kanpur Dehat, Kanpur, Raebareli, Garhmukteshwar, Mirzapur, Fa f a m a u ( A l l a h a b a d ) , Ghazipur and Ballia, the Yamuna was flowing above the danger mark in Mathura.

It was also rising in Agra and Eetawah, it said.

Rail blockade in Bengal in protest against NRC draft K o l k ata , A u g 1 (IANS): Thousands of members of the All India Matua Mahasangha on Wednesday squatted on the railway tracks in various stations in West Bengal, disrupting train services for hours over Eastern Railways Sealdah division in protest against the exclusion of 40 lakh people from Assam’s draft of National Register of Citizens (NRC).

The rail blockade began even before 8 a.m. at New Barrackpore station in the Sealdah-Bonagaon section and quickly spread to around 30 stations in North 24 Parganas and Nadia districts.

Commuters were greatly inconvenienced as the agitation continued in most of the stations till a little while after noon. An Eastern Railway spokesman said the blockade was lifted around 12:10 p.m., following which normalcy

was gradually restored. The Mahasangh, a representative body of the Matua community, comprising primarily low-caste Hindu refugees from Bangladesh, has alleged that the NRC was a ploy by the Bharatiya Janata Party to “drive out Bengalis from Assam”. The community commands nearly a crore votes in various Southern Bengal districts and plays a crucial role in determining the electoral fortunes in at least 74 of the state’s 294 assembly seats. It is almost a ritual for all parties to call on Matua ‘godmother’ Boroma (Binapani Devi) at the Masangh headquarters in Gaighata’s Thakurnagar and seek her support ahead of every election.

However, Baroma has been consistently supporting the ruling Trinamool Congress over the past few years.

the foreign ministers of the two countries decided that the leaders should not be restricted to any specific issue, she said.

“The decision to host Wuhan was taken not to resolve any issue but to create a conducive environment.

Three main objectives were to ensure mutual comfort, mutual understanding and mutual trust. In all the three objectives, we have achieved success,” she said.

Swaraj said as a followup to the Wuhan summit, the Chinese defence minister is coming to enhance military cooperation while the foreign minister will arrive later this year as part of efforts to enhance peopleto-people contact.

The external affairs minister also said after the Wuhan summit, both the leaders met on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg and the SCO summit. As a result of the understanding developed in Wuhan, later meetings also covered the issue of Doklam.

The first informal summit between Modi and Jinping was held at the Chinese city of Wuhan on April 27-28.

New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI): The CBI will soon be conducting an exhaustive forensic examination of the Muzzafarpur shelter home where minor girls were allegedly raped by officials of the centre, officials said today.

They said a team from CFSL will soon be sent to Muzzafarpur to reconstruct crime scenes and collect forensic samples from the centre.

The statements of the victims will be used to reconstruct the crime scene and develop a timeline which will be used to prosecute the accused, they said.

The agency may also take help child psychologists to record the statements of the girls, some

of them as young as seven years, the officials said.

Over 30 girls were allegedly raped at the centre run by one Brajesh Thakur, chief of the state-funded NGO. The agency will also record statements of doctors and forensic specialists, used by the local police during its probe, and collect evidence from them, they said.

The alleged sexual exploitation of the girls was first highlighted in an audit report submitted by the Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS), Mumbai, to the state’s Social Welfare Department in April.

An FIR was lodged on May 31 against 11 people, including Brajesh Thakur, the owner of the NGO

Khan’s PTI emerged as the single largest party in the country’s National Assembly after the July 25 election. However, it is short of numbers to form its government independently.

It is now reaching out to smaller political parties and independent candidates for support to form a coalition government. But it is more or less clear that Khan is all set to become the Prime Minister.

A bad cure

fter the final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) which was published on July 30,2018 in Assam, out of 3.29 crore citizens, 2.89 crore names have been accepted while the remaining 40 lakh names are in a state of limbo. Some have gone as far as to describe the 40 lakh people who do not find their names on the NRC as “ stateless” and deportable. The NRC was set up in 2005 by the then UPA government as a consequence of the Assam Accord signed during Rajiv Gandhi’s tenure with the Assam students (AASU) who had turned the state upside down over the issue of illegal immigrants or aliens in the state during their agitation years from 1979 to 1985. The former AASU leaders-turned politicians occupied power from 1985 to 1989 and again from 1996 to 2001. They came to power after receiving people’s mandate to implement the Assam Accord. However, the former student leaders, who had received the backing of Rajiv Gandhi, himself then also a young man in his prime; did not devote themselves to the tough challenge of implementing the Accord to detect and deport aliens, excepting mouthing rhetoric. The issue remained unresolved till it was revived by the AASU in 1999 when the then NDA government agreed in principle to update the citizen’s registry. However nothing was done and in 2005 the Supreme Court struck down the Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunal) Act, popularly known as the IM(DT) Act enacted after the 1985 Assam Accord.

This then paved the way for updating NRC in Assam.

It may be recalled that the government of India had instituted the process of the NRC in 1951 to determine who was an Indian citizen and who was not. It is remarkable and emblematic of the nature of citizenship in the country that the Supreme Court, in a directive to the Assam government in 2014, ordered for an updated NRC to be completed in the state at the earliest. This updating of the citizens registry is happening for the first time post-1951 in any part of the country.

It will be updated to include names of those persons (or descendants) whose names appear in the NRC of 1951 and those in any electoral rolls or legally admissible documents issued upto the midnight of March 24, 1971. Anyone who has documents dated after this date will be considered a non-citizen and is liable to be expunged from the country. One of the major tools for the NRC process has been the method of determining citizenship through ‘legacy data’. The legacy data has been divided into two lists of documents, which contains the NRC of 1951 and electoral rolls up to midnight of March 24, 1971 in List A and documents such as birth certificate, land documents, board/university certificates, bank/LIC/PO documents, circle officer/ GP secretary certificates, ration cards and any other legally accepted document in List B. Today, 40 lakh people that included not only Bangladeshi muslims but also an equal number of Hindus from Assam or those who have returned back after residing in other states for decades but who are not from Bangladesh.

So many such persons also do not find their names in the NRC. Among the 2.89 crore whose names are included, are large numbers of suspected illegal immigrants. It is unfortunate, that in the end the NRC has become a cure that is worse than the disease.

DailyDevotion Learning About His Ways When Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples…He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities. —Matthew 11:1 He comes where He commands us to leave. If you stayed home when God told you to go because you were so concerned about your own people there, then you actually robbed them of the teaching of Jesus Christ Himself. When you obeyed and left all the consequences to God, the Lord went into your city to teach, but as long as you were disobedient, you blocked His way. Watch where you begin to debate with Him and put what you call your duty into competition with His commands. If you say, “I know that He told me to go, but my duty is here,” it simply means that you do not believe that Jesus means what He says.

He teaches where He instructs us not to teach.

“Master…let us make three tabernacles…” (Luke 9:33).

Are we playing the part of an amateur providence, trying to play God’s role in the lives of others? Are we so noisy in our instruction of other people that God cannot get near them? We must learn to keep our mouths shut and our spirits alert. God wants to instruct us regarding His Son, and He wants to turn our times of prayer into mounts of transfiguration. When we become certain that God is going to work in a particular way, He will never work in that way again.

He works where He sends us to wait.“…tarry… until…” (Luke 24:49). “Wait on the Lord” and He will work (Psalm 37:34). But don’t wait sulking spiritually and feeling sorry for yourself, just because you can’t see one inch in front of you! Are we detached enough from our own spiritual fits of emotion to “wait patiently for Him”? (Psalm 37:7). Waiting is not sitting with folded hands doing nothing, but it is learning to do what we are told.

These are some of the facets of His ways that we rarely recognize.

Post-mortem

213th Rajya Sabha committee report on the Northeast P T

PDR rejoinder to Fisheries & Aquatic Resources Deptt

h e 2 1 3 t h R a j ya Sabha Standing Committee that P. Chitambaram chaired, in its Report presented to the Rajya Sabha on 19th July 2018 on the Security situation of the Northeast among others, published in local daily on 26 July 2018, said: (quoted) “it was the WW II that united the numerous Naga Tribes and clans and converted them to modern guerilla fighting machines, providing them with arms and ammunition left behind by the Japanese army to wage their armed struggle for sovereignty. Nagaland also blamed the policies of British that prevented the Naga Tribesman to mingle with the greater Indian society”.

Such highest-level Reports have tremendous impacts and consequences on the development Policies of the Government that would affect the whole country and the people immensely.

There are inaccuracies, assumptions and irrelevancies in the Report on Naga Hill and the Naga Tribesman. A few of the important ones are: i. The WW II united the numerous Naga Tribes and Clans. ii. The WW II converted Nagas to modern guerilla fighting machines with arms and ammunition left behind by the Japanese army. iii. Nagaland blamed the policies of British that prevented the Naga Tribesman to mingle with the greater Indian society.

I. The claim that the WW II united the Naga Tribes and Clans, if it were true, would have as well, united the various Castes, Races and Divisions of India without the Indian National Congress movements.

It is not understandable how the battle of Kohima would unite the Naga Tribes and Clans. It was not a War between the Naga and Japan. It was a war of the Whiteman with Japan.

Most importantly, the WW II never overran the whole of Naga Hills District in the way it overran most of Europe and Asia, and continued for several years. In Naga Hills, there was only one isolated battle of Kohima that lasted only for 3 months that ended in the defeat and retreat of the invading Japanese forces. The Battle of Kohima did not extend to other parts of the Naga Hills District.

The battle confined around only the British HQ of Kohima and there simply was no reason of connection for uniting the whole Naga tribes already under one peaceful District of British Admin-

T

istration.

The burden of sudden violent deaths and massive destructiveness of a modern battle from gunfire of automatic rifles, machine Guns from far distances and bomb blasts rained down from the Air, fell on the Naga and nonNaga communities in and around Kohima only.

The great majority of Tribes only heard the story from hearsay in their remote villages surrounded by trackless jungle.

II. Did the single battle of Kohima, -exaggerated as World War II- converted the whole Nagas tribes into a modern guerilla fighting machines with arms and ammunition left behind by a section of retreating Japanese Army?

There is an interesting perception of an old veteran of Kohima Village, Lt, Vimedo Rutsa, when asked by some Authors of a possible Book on why the Japanese lost the Battle said: “the Japanese lost Kohima battle because they did not bring their Tiffin”.

Most Naga read with elation the interesting story that the Naga turned into “moder n guerilla fighting Machines with the leftover arms and ammunitions of the Japanese, to wage their armed struggle for sovereignty”.

Such stories are attractively speculative fairy tales of armchair Writers not known to reality on ground!

Most Authors, of books from the West who took part in the Kohima battle and on the wider WW II, narrated the difficult overstretched support line of the Japanese War Materials from Burma.

The Lack of food, of Ammunitions run out and the great importance of Native population support for the Allied forces, were the main reasons for the Japanese debacle in the battle of Kohima.

The bountiful war materials of the allied forces left over the entire battleground with -unexploded bombs, missiles, rockets, live bullets in Boxes or strewn on the ground and in trenches and CGI Sheets of burned out houses perforated like Iron Nets with bullets, broken down vehicles scattered here and there, testify the dominance of the Allied Forces.

It was however, not many to find Japanese Rifles, its short bayonet of unusual hard steel, Swords, split-toe rubber shoes with footprints different for different Grades of Officers, small cooking pot and ladle-in-1, pickaxe and hoe-in-1 and few live Japanese bullets.

The Japanese soldiers could not use British bul-

lets because their Rifles were of .22 Bore and that of the Allied were different. Even the few Naga who, after the War, found the few abandoned Japanese rifles had to sawn-off the barrel from the breech, to fit it in with vehiclesteering-wheel pipe and make BL 12 bore Gun for hunting.

Let me not embarrass anybody by mentioning from where and how the gun toting, gun-loving Naga guerrillas obtained their Arms and their Kalashnikovs. They have already taught most of the Armed Groups of the Northeast from where and how to!

In 1983, 39 after the battle, the Kohima Village Baptist Church decided to have a bigger Church building in the Village at a more central place, which in pagan times was part of a much-feared abode of unknown Ghosts. Very early in the mornings, the members would gather at the site, have prayer and dig the mount side for the foundation of the building.

Living in the city far off from the Village, this Writer with his wife and small children one morning went to the site to contribute their share of the work. When the small family reached the spot at 8 AM, the crowd had already done their share early in the morning and had left the site empty and quiet.

Alone, the family of six –7 years old eldest daughter, two smaller boys including the youngest one-year-old toddler, without prayer, enthusiastically started to dig the ground in pleasant earnestness, and in about an hour, were gladly tired when they dug out a rusty Japanese Rifle characteristically long, unwieldy and unhandy but very accurate 77.5 cm (30 Inches and a half) long barrel.

The normal two pieces wood stock of the rifle and other parts were all Termite and rust eaten, and gone.

I thought the bore could be .275, smaller than prohibited 303 of the British, and to find out exactly, I got a .22 shot at home put it in the muzzle and it was surprisingly fitting.

The Rajya Sabha Report that the Naga “converted to modern guerilla fighting machines, with arms and ammunition left behind by the Japanese army to wage their armed struggle for sovereignty”, is a very interesting imaginative work of rare Art, good reading to the Naga, but devoid of reality and depth.

It indicates the Rajya Sabha Standing Committee ignorant of the

Cause/Effect of the battle on the Naga outside the battleground. There were no Post Offices, News Papers, Telegraph wires or Wireless communications lines between the Tribes or the Villages surrounded by trackless jungles abounding in ferocious wild animals and in the remote jungles of the State, to unite all the Tribes and clans.

Had the Committee included at least an MP of the Rajya Sabha from Nagaland State or from the Northeast, the Report could have much relevant, sounder, more weighty, deeper and nearer the Truth.

The Northeast and the Mainland worlds are different and if the mainland cares about the northeast enough, it would have at least a backbencher from the Area in relevant Central Bodies! The Northeast also has the right to be in relevant Central Committees that concerns their area and their people. I hope Home Minister Rajnath and Prime Minister Modi have acute Ears and would hear.

III. The Re por t that, “in 1873, the British introduced the inner line system that prevented the people from the plain from entering the Nagainhabited areas and Nagaland blamed the policies of British that prevented the Naga Tribesman to mingle with the greater Indian society”, is very True.

However, the British did not prevent the Naga from going out and mingle with people of the outside. In fact, the East India Company Authority, in pursuance of their policy, opened Salt market ‘Hauts’ in the plains and even recorded the increasing number of Nagas that went down every year to Dimapur to barter trade with the outside. This encouraged some of the enterprising Nagas even to go alone as far as Cambay in Gujarat to buy Cornelian Stones in great demands among all Nagas.

The overwhelming majority of Naga today say the Innerline Regulation is welcome and very necessary in picking out unknown, unwelcome immigrants freely entering Nagaland.

Nagaland today encourages others to come to Nagaland and the State has relaxed the System to attract Tourist and Investors for easy entrance to the State.

Nagaland was formed a State on 31st December 1963 and the Assembly did not blame the British Policy.

NNC (parent body) rejoinder to rival leadership

he NNC Parent Body has totally denounced Z. Royim (betrayer) leadership once for all now as condemned by all the concerned regions authority, CEC members, Naga Women Federations, NNC officials and so on and so forth, as stated clearly in the earlier statements too.

Z. Royim is a betrayer, conspirator and a failed leader now as stated clearly by the NNC Parent Body. He is not worthy to be called a leader as he has no moral authority and executive power as officially and publicly condemned and rejected by the Reader’s note: Articles

entire NNC Body.

It is a shame like Z. Royim who could not stand on his official speech of 16th May, 2018 of Naga National Plebiscite Day. He is a disgraceful and failed leader who is full of lies and misleading with conspirators and compromised leaders.

The NNC Parent Body condemns the fake article published on the 30th of July, 2018 in the name of NNC Parent Body without any name and identity is the real duplicity known to one and all. Another misleading article on 1st August made in the name of NNC Parent Body is completely or letters published in any of the

false and “the media cell” mentioned in the article doesn’t exist at all in reality. These are the proof of deception and delusion that this false leader propagates to confuse and manipulate the Naga people.

The NNC Parent Body once again states firmly and extends our unequivocal support to the General Secretary and Co-Convener V. Nagi for his uncompromising stand on the inalienable historical and political rights of the Nagas.

Y.C Lotha, Information & Publicity Wing, NNC Parent Body columns do not reflect the view

eople for Democratic Rights (PDR) is astonished at the supposed “factually incorrect” response on fish production in the state. PDR had said that fish production increased to 8605 MT during 2016-17 as against 8220 MT in 2015-16 as per Nagaland Economic Survey 2016-17.

PDR had also clearly stated that the fish production stood at 8220 MT during 2017-18 and that data was attributed to the then Secretary, Fisheries Depar tment who said “the total fish production of the state is 8200 MT which covers about 30% of the total requirement of fish consumption in the state” as published in a local daily on 18 April 2018. For the decline in fish production, PDR had never quoted the Annual Administrative Report 2017-18. The only thing quoted by PDR out of the Administrative Report was the gap between demand and supply. If the fish production during the last financial year stood at 8990.5 MT as stated by the Director of Fisheries & Aquatic Resources, then it proves that either the Secretary or the Administrative Report had provided incorrect data. Whichever is wrong, why did the Department not take any corrective measures to rectify the misinformation to the public? Whom should the public believe was giving the correct data; the Secretary, who is the Administrative Head of Department or the Administrative Report?

As for the potential fishery pond culture covered in the state, the PDR said 4000 hectares have been covered so far basing on what was said during a programme on ‘Recent advances in development of aquaculture and fisheries’ under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana 2016-17 organised by Department of Fisheries at Hotel Japfu, Kohima on 23 August 2017 and subsequently published in the local dailies.

However, if the Director says that the current potential area developed stands at 3375 hectares, then, it reflects that the developed area has been reduced from 4000 hectares in 2017 to 3375 hectares in 2018.

As for the output production not commensurating with the amount released, PDR had also mentioned that there have been many projects “prior to 2017-18 and crores have been invested” and did not say that the funds released during 2017-18 specifically did not commensurate with the output.

The production not commensurating with the funds received was said taking into account crores

of rupees released to the Department over the years even before 2017-18.

PDR heartily welcomes the position of the Department for joint verification of projects, however, the Department is urged to keep all records ready regarding state/ central schemes/projects since inception of the Department so that a clear picture can be brought out regarding performance of the Department.

Advising the PDR to ascertain facts from the Department before making it public is most absurd.

What is more to ascertain when facts were extracted from official documents that have already been made public and statements of the Depar tment’s officers who spoke during the Department’s own official programmes were referred to as already published in local dailies? The Department may, perhaps, conduct orientation programmes for its officers on providing correct data/ records during its official programmes in the future.

Records/data provided by the Director contradicts with the statements of the Department’s own officers thereby confusing the public as to which officer is providing the “factually” correct data.

Some of the funds released during 2016-17 It would be meaningless to go on mentioning all funds released and received during all the previous financial years.

However, PDR would mention only an instance or two regarding funds released during 2016-17: 1. Rs 2.05 cr was released on 17 March 2017 by the Finance Department under Blue Revolution Project.

2. Rs 1.20 cr was released on 24 March 2017 for implementation of Fishery Project at Lamhai Dunki village at Peren District under NEC (2nd instalment) 3. Rs 50 lakh was released on 18 March 2017 for Livestock cum Fish Farming at Suruhuto village, Zunheboto.

While some fishery activities funded by centre/state may be individually owned, it is the responsibility of the Department to see that such projects are properly monitored and then assist the beneficiaries of all logistical assistance to see that success is achieved and that public money do not go waste.

Any project being individually owned is not free from public and departmental scr utiny as long as such projects receive financial assistance out of the public exchequer.

Sir,

Spread of viral videos and pictures

With the recent number of increasing incidents that has been taking place across our state like drowning, rapes, murders, natural calamities, it has become a rising trend to take pictures/ videos and sharing it on social media platforms like whatsapp, facebook or instagram. Spreading such information not only shows our lack of sympathy for the victims but also but also degrades our position as sensible citizens. The temporary concern after watching those videos in no way brings any consolation to the victimised and already trauma-stricken people. Refrain from spreading such viral videos or photos and prevent the misuse of social media platforms.

Mamata meets Sonia for alliance Govt machinery on high alert to meet challenges, says Rio New Delhi, Aug 1 (IANS): Seeking to rally opposition parties, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday met UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and leaders of several other parties and declared that her priority is to defeat BJP in the Lok Sabha elections next year with the issue of prime ministership to be settled collectively later.

She also kept up her attack on the BJP over the exclusion of 40 lakh names from the National Register of Citizens for Assam, saying they were playing with fire and were using offensive language against those excluded.

Banerjee personally invited Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders for the January 19 mega rally she has planned in Kolkota.

The Kolkata rally is expected to help Banerjee emerge as the pivot of opposition efforts to dislodge the Narendra Modi government in 2019 Lok Sabha polls. “There will be collective face. Ours is a collective family. Priority is to defeat BJP. If, to defeat BJP, we can fight collectively inside Parliament then why can we not outside...I haven’t come to talk about my state,” Banerjee said after her meeting with So-

nia Gandhi and Congress President Rahul Gandhi.

The meeting with the Gandhis capped a day of hectic activities in Parliament House where Banerjee met leaders of various parties including Shiv Sena, AIADMK, Samajwadi Party, TDP, YSCRP, DMK, RJD, Kerala Congress-Mani. She also called on JD-S leader and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda in Karnataka Bhavan and senior BJP leader L. K. Advani in his chamber in Parliament.

While Shiv Sena is a constituent of the the BJPled NDA, AIADMK is friendly towards it.

“Whenever I come to Delhi I meet Soniaji as I have very old relation with

Rajivji. We have discussed political matters also. How we can fight together,” she said, indicating that Congress would be part of anti-BJP front.

“I don’t want to interfere in Congress matter or what Congress will decide... Wherever, whoever is strong should fight,” she said in reply to a question whether TMC will ally with Congress in West Bengal.

Attacking the BJP, she said the BJP “is nervous politically, tense politically.”

“The reason why it says whatever these days, because it knows it is not going to come back to power in 2019. If it talks with responsibility then we will talk to them. Not

India’s unemployment rate may rise to 3.8% this year: ILO Management of Bristlecone, a Mahindra Group company, said that due to migration to urban areas there is a sharp rise in the unemployment rate in rural areas as well.

“Government should step up their efforts to support skill and retraining activities to address the gaps between demand and supply of work skills and qualifications and to address long-term unemployment,” she told PTI. In South Asia, labour markets continued to suffer from high rates of informal/agricultural employment where jobs are poorly paid and unprotected, ILO said in the report.

Unemployment rate in India is showing an increasing trend since 2011 when it was 3.5 per cent.

The same rose to 3.6 per cent in 2012 and climbed to 3.7 per cent last year.

This year, jobless rate is expected to rise to 3.8 per cent, according to the report ‘Global Employment Trends 2014’.

According to the ILO report, it has been argued that India was experiencing ‘jobless growth’ due to the fact that total employment grew by only 1.1 million from 2004/05 to 2009/10 (based on the National Sample Survey), representing an employment elasticity of almost zero.

He also conveyed deep sympathy and condolences to families who had lost their near and dear ones in different parts of the State in the past few days. He also expressed his deep sorrow at the damage of properties and infrastructure due to the natural calamity, besides displacement of families.

Rio further directed Roads & Bridges depart-

Meanwhile, Tsiesama–Peducha road has been restored and fuel tankers and other essential commodities trucks were being allowed to ply on the route.

Stating that the Ao community had set important benchmarks in the society, the deputy chief minister remarked that till today he was impressed with the “Survival Mokokchung” initiated by Ao Students’ Conference where illegal immigrants were flushed out from the district, and where local youth, men and women had taken up their works.

He added that this move should be emulated in every district.

NEW DELHI, JAN 26 (AGENCIES): The count of people being without a job is on the rise in India as economic slowdown and slower business expansion activities cast a shadow on employment generation, according to experts.

Indicating sluggishness in the country’s job market, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) has said in its recent report that the unemployment scenario in India over the last two years has been showing a rising trend.

Going by ILO’s latest estimates, India’s jobless rate could be 3.8 per cent this year. Ritu Mehrotra, VP Global HR and Talent

PM will be decided later, first fight the election first,” she said.

Baner jee said she briefed Sonia Gandhi also on the problems of those excluded from the National Register of Citizens in Assam.

Banerjee met Congress leaders Ahmed Patel and Ghulam Nabi Azad, Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav, AIADMK leader M. Thambidurai, Kerala Congress-Mani leader Jose K. Mani, suspended BJP MP Kirti Azad, Shiv Sena member Sanjay Raut,’DMK’s Tiruchi Siva, Vijay Sai Reddy of YSRC Party, Misa Bharti and Jay Prakash Narayan Yadav of RJD. She also met TDP MPs. Former Law Minister and Congress leader Ashwani Kumar also met Banerjee.

Banerjee arrived in Delhi on Monday and met Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday. She also met dissident BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha and former union ministers Yashwant Sinha and Ram Jethmalani.

She had visited the national capital in March also and met opposition leaders.

s a m g ove r n m e n t h a s just released its National Register of Citizens and there was high apprehension of infiltration in the neighbouring States. He claimed that the State government had put all entry points from neighbouring Assam on a high alert to check influx of illegal immigrants.

He admitted that the government alone could not put a complete check on this unless there was strong support from the public.

“And this is where the call for the same zeal

and initiative taken during ‘Survival Mokokchung’ becomes pertinent.” he explained.

Patton called upon citizens of the State, especially those districts neighbouring Assam, to cooperate with the government to check the influx of illegal immigrants.

Concluding his speech, he called upon all citizens not only to celebrate Tsungremmong festival for individual and social sanctification, but also celebrate it as a thanksgiving and blessing festival.

The special guest also inaugurated the exhibition arena where 105 stalls had been put up various SHGs and government departments.

Earlier in the programme, Higher & Technical Education minister Temjen Imna Along extended Tsungremmong greetings to the people.

The inaugural programme was followed by cultural presentations from various troupes and other items like inter-ward tug of war and inter school U-14 barefooted football match.

Last month, Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu noted that the global trade is passing through “challenging times” and the existence of World Trade Organisation (WTO) was under threat.

The RBI in its monetary policy statement observed: “Rising trade protectionism poses a grave risk to near-term and long-term global growth prospects by adversely impacting investment, disrupting global supply chains and hampering productivity. Geopolitical tensions and elevated oil prices continue to be the other sources of risk to global growth.”

According to Patel, apart from rising trade tensions, other risks like higher crude oil prices and an upward inflation trajectory might also impede India’s growth rate which he expects to grow at 7.4 per cent in 2018-19.

Patel’s cautionary note came after the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to raise the apex bank’s key benchmark lending rate by 25 basis point to 6.5 per cent in the third monetary policy review of 2018-19 on Wednesday.

The company cannot absorb the full impact any longer.

“So it is now imperative for us to pass on some impact of the above factors to the customers through a price increase. This will happen across the range of models in August itself,” he said. When asked about the quantum of hike, he said, “We are working on it. It will vary depending on the models.”

Stating that the company’s finance team is currently working out the details, he said, “It is difficult to give any range of the price hike till the finance team finalises it.

Mumbai, Aug 1 (IANS): The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday warned of a global currency war on rising trade tensions and said it did not want to add to the risk profile of India’s growth as it hiked its key lending rate by 25 basis points to 6.5 per cent. “We already had a few months of turbulence behind us and it looks like that this is likely to continue. For how long, I don’t know. But the trade skirmishes evolved into tariff wars and now we are possibly at the beginning of currency wars,” RBI Governor Urjit Patel said at a press conference after a meeting of its monetary policy committee.

Lately, a slew of trade protectionist measures initiated by major economies led by the US has impacted international business sentiment and resulted in retaliatory tariff wars.

Further, there is also a fear of China devaluing its currency to boost its exports at the cost of other countries.

“Given this we have to ensure that we run a tight ship on the risks that we control to maximise the chances of ensuring macro economic stability and continuing with the growth profile of 7 per cent to 7.5 per cent going forward. We do have things that are in our favour and if

New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI): Maruti Suzuki India on Wednesday said it will hike prices of its vehicles across models this month to offset adverse impacts of rise in commodity costs, foreign exchange fluctuations and fuel price increases.

The company, however, said it is currently working out the details of the quantum of price increase, which will vary depending on the model.

Joining the global tightening bandwagon, the RBI for the second straight meeting raised its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 per cent to 6.50 per cent on hardening inflationary risks, while not strangulating growth.

The key trigger for the rate hike was the expectation that inflation could go up rapidly in the next one year impacted by a steep hike in minimum support prices of crops.

Markets were expecting that the RBI would prefer to wait for the full impact of the MSP, monsoon progress and the US Fed outcome before hiking rates in October, a forex dealer commented.

The bond markets also reacted positively, with the 10-year benchmark bond yield plugning by 7 bps to 7.70 per cent from 7.77 per cent.

Mumbai, Aug 1 (PTI): Gold prices eased further

E l s e w h e r e, s i l v e r dipped further by Rs 70 to close at Rs 37,870 per kg owing to reduced offtake from industrial units.

Standard gold (99.5 per cent purity) edged down by Rs 10 to finish at Rs 29,665 per 10 grams from Tuesday’s closing level of Rs 29,675.

Pure gold (99.9 per cent purity) also eased by the same amount to close at Rs 29,815 per 10 grams as against Rs 29,825, previously.

Silver (.999 fineness) fell by Rs 70 to conclude at Rs 37,870 per kg compared to Rs 37,940 earlier.

Globally, gold was stable near one-year lows early today on a stronger dollar, as the market waited for signals on the direction of US monetary policy from a Federal Reserve meeting later in the day. Spot gold edged down to USD 1,223.08 per ounce in early European trade, close to a one-year low of USD 1,211.08 reached on July 19. US gold futures were lower at USD 1,231.80 an ounce.

The forex market sentiment was buoyed by the Reserve Bank maintaining its growth outlook for the economy, projecting an GDP expansion rate of 7.4 per cent in 2018-19 on the back of robust macroeconomic environment.

The central bank’s upbeat comments on the economic growth outlook predominantly triggered a fresh leg of a bullish move for the home currency after initial wobbliness.

As per the GST provisions, transporters or businesses have to generate an e-way bill for moving goods worth Rs 50,000 crore or more both within and outside the state. Experts however expressed apprehensions that GST collections in the coming months may decline as the impact of tax rate cut on 88 products would be felt in the returns filed in August.

“It is estimated that the rate cuts may lead to reduction of GST by approximately Rs 1,000 crore per month. However, this reduction may be offset against the increased demands of these high price sensitive products,” Khaitan & Co Partner Abhishek A Rastogi said.

With recent anti-evasion measures by the government, collections should improve over next few months, though there would also be an impact of recent rate cuts from July 27.” Of the collections for July, Central GST accounted for Rs 15,877 crore, State GST (Rs 22,293 crore), Integrated GST (Rs 49,951 crore) and Cess is Rs 8,362 crore (including Rs 794 crore collected on imports).

“The total gross GST revenue collected in July 2018 is Rs 96,483 crore...

This is broadly on expected lines,” a Finance Ministry statement said.

Heatwave deaths to rise steadily by 2080: Study around the equator,” Guo said.

It projected excess mortality in relation to heatwaves in the future under different scenarios characterised by levels of greenhouse gas emissions, preparedness and adaptation strategies and population density across these regions.

A key finding of the study showed that under the extreme scenario, there will be a 471 per cent increase in deaths caused by heatwaves in three Australian cities (Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne) in comparison with the period 1971-2010.

The study comes as many countries around the world have been affected by severe heatwaves, leaving thousands dead and tens of thousands more suffering from heatstroke-related illnesses.

The collective death toll across India, Greece, Japan and Canada continues to rise as the regions swelter through record temperatures, humidity, and wildfires.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (PTI): The US has designated three Pakistanis linked to the LeT, the outfit responsible for carrying out the 2008 Mumbai attack, as global terrorists to shut down the terror group’s financial network and curtail its ability to raise funds to carry out violent terrorist attacks.

LeT commander Abdul Rehman al-Dakhil was named as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) by the Department of State.

Separately, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action yesterday to disrupt the LeT’s fundraising and support networks by designating two of the group’s financial facilitators, Hameed ul Hassan and Abdul Jabbar, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs).

A longtime member of the US designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) and Lashkar e-Taiba (LeT), Dakhil was an operational leader for LeT’s

London, Aug 1 (Agencies): A passenger plane has crashed in the capital of Mexico’s Durango state, just moments after take-off, BBC reported.

All 103 passengers and crew on board the Aeroméxico flight survived the crash but 97 of them are injured.

State Governor José Rosas Aispuro said the plane was hit by a gust of wind, which caused a sudden descent.

Its left wing then touched the ground and two engines came off.

Most of the passengers were able to walk away before it caught fire.

Aeroméxico f light AM2431 was flying from Guadalupe Victoria International Airport in Durango to Mexico City when it crashed at around 16:00 local time (21:00 GMT).

Initial reports spoke of 97 passengers and four crew, but Governor Rosas said that two children were also on board - bringing the total to 103.

The plane’s pilot is one of two who were seri-

ously injured. He needed an operation on his spine but is reportedly in a stable condition. A young girl sustained burns. Ninety-seven other people were taken to hospital but most had only “very light” injuries, officials said.

Passenger Jacqueline Flores described the moment she knew something was wrong.

“When we were already aloft, up high, it felt like the plane was going to level out but just then it plunged to the ground,” she told the AFP news agency.

“I think we fell back on the runway because it

was a hard surface, then we skidded on the ground until it stopped,” the 47-year-old said.

“I undid my seatbelt and saw flames, and realised we had to jump. There was a hole right next to us where the plane had broken up. I told my girl, ‘We have to jump over here’, and we jumped,” she added.

A local politician on board the flight, Rómulo Campuzano, said he had been “very lucky because I was able to get out by the main door”. He said the door had been torn off and was lying next to the plane “acting as a ramp”.

or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism,” the State Department said.

Designations of terrorist individuals and groups expose and isolate organisations and individuals, and deny them access to the US financial system, it added.

Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Sigal Mandelker said Hassan and Jabbar were responsible for collecting, transporting and distributing funds to support the terror group and provide salaries to extremists.

“Treasur y’s designations not only aim to expose and shut down Lashkar-e-Taiba’s financial network, but also to curtail its ability to raise funds to carry out violent terrorist attacks,” he said.

As a result of the designation, all property and interests in property of Hassan and Jabbar subject to US jurisdiction are now blocked. US persons are

generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.

As of late 2016, Hassan worked with Falah-e Insaniat Foundation, a front for the LeT, to collect and send funds to Syria.

Further, as of early 2016, Hassan worked with his brother, Muhammad Ijaz Safarash, and Khalid Walid to transport funds to Pakistan on behalf of the LeT. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) previously designated Safarash and Walid as Specially Designated Global Terrorists for their association with the LeT in March 2016 and September 2012, respectively.

Additionally, Hassan has an active Twitter account, which identifies him as the leader of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed-led Jamat-ud Dawah in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

According to the Treasury, Jabbar is a financial facilitator for the LeT and

distributes salaries for the terrorist group.

He has worked in the LeT’s finance department since around 2000. Additionally, as of mid-2016, Jabbar distributed funds on behalf of the Falah-eInsaniat Foundation.

In December 2001, the Department of State designated the LeT as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation. The LeT was also added to the UN Security Council’s Sanctions List in May 2005.

Jamaat-ud Dawa was designated as an alias of LeT pursuant in April 2006 and was added to the UN Security Council’s Sanctions List in December 2008.

In November 2010, the Department of State amended its designations of LeT to include the alias Falah-e Insaniat Foundation.

In March 2012, the UN amended its Sanctions List to recognise the Falah-e Insaniat Foundation as a front for LeT.

After his release from Pakistani custody, Dakhil returned to work for the LeT. In 2016, Dakhil was the LeT divisional commander for the Jammu region.

Sydney, Aug 1 (IANS): If people cannot adapt to future climate temperatures due to global warming, deaths caused by severe heatwaves will increase dramatically in tropical and subtropical regions, followed closely by Australia, Europe and the US, warns a study.

For the study, published in the journal PLOS Medicine, the researchers developed a model to estimate the number of deaths related to heatwaves in 412 communities across 20 countries for the period of 2031 to 2080.

“Future heatwaves in particular will be more frequent, more intense and will last much longer,” said study leader Yuming Guo, Associate Professor at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

“If we cannot find a way to mitigate the climate change (reduce the heatwave days) and help people adapt to heatwaves, there will be a big increase of heatwave-related deaths in the future, particularly in the poor countries located

Copenhagen, Aug 1 (IANS): A Danish ban on garments covering the face, including Islamic veils such as the niqab or burqa, went into force on Wednesday.

With 75 votes in favour and 30 votes against, the Danish Parliament adopted the act on May 31.

The legislation said “anyone who wears a garment that hides the face in public will be punished with a fine”, Xinhua news agency reported.

The government said it was not aimed at any religion and does not ban headscarves, turbans or the traditional Jewish skull cap.

Moreover, it allows people to cover their face when there is a “recognizable purpose” such as cold weather or complying with other legal requirements, for example using motorcycle helmets under Danish traffic rules.

Violation of the law will result in a fine ranging from 1,000 Danish kroner ($150) to 10,000 kroner (about $1,504) for repeat offenders.

Islamabad, Aug 1 (IANS): The presidential polls in Pakistan will likely be held in the first week of September and the Election Commission has started the preparations for the purpose, the media reported on Wednesday.

President Mamnoon Hussain’s five-year term is due to expire on September 8.

According to the Constitution, the indirect election to the office of the President is held no earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days before the expiration of the term of the incumbent President.

If the presidential election cannot be held because of the dissolution of the National Assembly, then it should be held within 30 days of the general election.

The presidential elections were scheduled to be held on August 8 but the Electoral College could not be finalised, ECP sources told Geo News. The new assemblies will not be functional till August 10, they said.

The poll body will issue the final schedule for the presidential elections after completing the electoral rolls. Members elected to the national and provincial assemblies will get to vote in the presidential elections.

Pakistan on July 25 held its general election in which former cricketer Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged as the single largest party.

The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan People’s Party headed

by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari were second and third respectively.

Khan will take oath as Prime Minister on August 11.

Protests by MDC Alliance supporters in the city centre took an ugly turn by the afternoon.

The crowds had been there since the morning but when news came that ZanuPF had won the majority of seats in parliament and that the presidential results were not ready, the mood turned.

They went on the rampage down Harare’s busy streets towards an old Zanu-

until their man is in the top job - except that’s not quite how elections work.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) has announced 122 seats for Zanu-PF so far, and 53 for MDC Alliance, ZBC state media reported. There are 210 seats in the National Assembly’s lower house.

State broadcaster ZBC had reported that the electoral commission would announce the presidential results at 12:30 local time (10:30 GMT), but only parliamentary results were read out.

The BBC’s Shingai Nyoka reports that the announcement on the presidential poll was not made because representatives of some of the 23 candidates had failed to turn up to verify the results.

A presidential candidate needs more than 50% of the vote to win outright.

Otherwise, a run-off election will be held on 8 September.

More than five million people were registered to vote, and there was a high turnout of 70%.

Lo n d o n, Au g 1 (Agencies): Troops have opened fire in Zimbabwe’s capital Harare after opposition supporters went on the rampage.

At least one man has reportedly been shot dead.

The opposition MDC Alliance alleges that the ruling Zanu-PF party has rigged Monday’s presidential and parliamentary vote.

Parliamentary results show Zanu-PF heading for a big majority, while the presidential result has yet to be declared.

European Union poll monitors have expressed concern over the length of time it is taking to declare the presidential result.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has urged patience and calm following the first elections since longserving ruler Robert Mugabe was ousted from power.

The MDC Alliance says its presidential candidate, Nelson Chamisa, won Monday’s election.

Could Max Martin’s musical be the best pop show of all time?

ove over Mamma Mia! Max Martin is putting together a new musical.

OK, the Swedish producer’s name might not be instantly recognisable, but his songs are.

In total, he’s written 22 US number one singles - from Britney Spears’ ...Baby One More Time and Katy Perry’s I Kissed A Girl to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off. A casting notice for the new musical says those songs are the “inspiration” for the show, which is set to premiere in the UK next year.

The briefing notes explain the musical is in the “final stages of development” and is being created by Max Martin, with orchestration and arrangements by Bill Sherman, who previously worked on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s pre-Hamilton show In The Heights.

n order to curb digital addiction among adolescents, the France government has voted in favour of a ban on the use of smartphones during school hours.

The decision will come into effect next month when the new school session starts in France, an official statement said.

The lawmakers from French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist LREM party and its allies gave final approval to the bill, while lawmakers on the left and right abstained from the vote, calling the law a “publicity stunt” that would change nothing, reported Le Monde.

Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer had previously said that the ban is a matter of public health because children are not playing during breaks anymore.

According to Blanquer, the move may also encourage other countries to implement the same rule for the betterment of the young students.

The 23-year-old finished a driving run by firing a shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 47th minute, for his second goal of pre-season.

It was Spurs’ second

win in three games, having beaten Roma and lost to Barcelona on penalties on the tour.

They face Girona in a friendly on Saturday, before their Premier League

opener at Newcastle on August 11.

Spurs started six academy players in Minneapolis - Luke Amos, TJ Eyoma, Anthony Georgiou, George Marsh, Oliver Skipp and Kyle Walker-Peters.

Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min both came on for the final half-hour.

While Spurs had more possession in front of 31,000 at US Bank Stadium, their Serie A opponents had three times as many shots.

Patrick Cutrone went closest for the Rossoneri, with Michel Vorm palming away the Italian’s pointblank header. Jose Mauri sliced a shot wide in injury time.

Meanwhile, Son will miss South Korea’s games against the Philippines and Kyrgyzstan in January, as well as an international friendly in November.

Spurs and South Korea have agreed a compromise which will see Son playing at the Asian Games, which run from August 18 to September 2.

BCCI to bear all expenses of NE states’ Ranji debut Football coaching camp for U-17

New Delhi, Aug 1 (Agencies): The BCCI will bear the entire cost of the cash-strapped North Eastern states’ Ranji Trophy debut, which has been mandated by the Supreme Court-appointed Lodha Committee, a couple of whom will play their home games at neutral venues due to lack of infrastructure, DNA reported.

It has been reliably learnt that Sikkim and Arunachal do not have grounds that will match up to requirements of first-class cricket and will play at neutral venues in neighbouring states.

The BCCI will be providing all the six states with their accreditated NCA coaches, physios and trainers (men’s, boys age group, women, girls’ age group).

Normally the BCCI units pay for their support staff but for NE states, the parent body will make an exception. “BCCI has assured that all the state teams will be provided with coaches. We will have to submit our requirements and accordingly they will depute the support staff. The entire expenses will be borne by the board,” a representative of the North

Konta stuns Serena at Silicon Valley Classic Lo n d o n, Au g 1 (Agencies): Johanna Konta inflicted the worst defeat of Serena Williams’ career with a thumping first-round victory over the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion at the Silicon Valley Classic.

The British number one took less than an hour to win 6-1 6-0 in San Jose.

Williams, 36, had never lost a match without winning at least two games since turning professional in 1995.

“I tried to put aside the incredible champion she is and just play the player of the day,” Konta, 27, said.

“She obviously wasn’t playing at her best level, nowhere near it, and I really just tried to play the match on my terms.

“I felt I did better than her on the day but it’s still a humbling experience to be out here with her.”

Williams, who only returned to the women’s tour earlier this year after giving birth, made 25 unforced errors to Konta’s nine.

supporting documents and certificates and justification papers through the Sports Association under the signature of the president and general secretary/honorary secretary on or before August 7.

The concerned Sports Association or Nagaland Olympic Association must submit a report of the performance of the athlete with detailed explanation and justifications on why it feels that the athlete deserves to receive the award.

If any misleading or manipulated information is found while nominating an athlete by the Sports Association, action shall be initiated against them.

Eastern state told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

“We will not be paid any grant directly. We need to submit the budget clearly mentioning all the overheads and BCCI directly makes the payments. It is difficult to pinpoint a figure but anything in the range of 4-5 crore needs to be spent per state. Infrastructure and logistics are two key issues,” he added.

The representatives of the North Eastern states met the BCCI’s Cricket Operations team headed by Saba Karim at the headquarters in Mumbai today. “Sikkim

will be playing their home games in Siliguri while Arunachal Pradesh are likely to play in one of the grounds in Assam. Development of infrastructure was the key issue that was discussed along with streamlining the budget requirements. There will be a few matches between the NE states, where teams need to be travelling by train as there are no direct air route. The railway bookings need to be done accordingly,” he said.

The NE state representatives also want to have their pre-season camps in Southern states like Karna-

taka and Tamil Nadu due to the prevalent monsoon in the eastern India. Another key issue discussed was about the criteria of domicile for all those who want to use the opportunity to get first-class matches under their belt.

“Rules are clear. One needs to show birth certificate, at least two years of employment in those new states, bank account in those states. While three professional players will be allowed (common BCCI rule), we were advised that we should groom our own players, which is a fair call,” he added.

DIM A P U R , AUG 1 (NPN): Department of Youth Resources & Sports will be organizing a football coaching camp with international coach Sebastian Rassmusen from August 6 to 16 at I.G Stadium Kohima.

According to DIPR, all the district football associations have been requested to submit their selected six players list on or before the August 4.

There shall be a reservation of 28 players as general quota where any bonafide Naga interested in

football may obtain application the form and submit to the mentioned football coaches viz. Ropfu Meyase & Kevilebei Paphino (con-

India reduce Eng to 285/9 on day one Khriekesa FC beat United FC 4-1 Kohima Football League -2

thereafter.

England lost three wickets for eight runs in the next 25 balls. First, Bairstow played on off Umesh Yadav (1/56) and then Ashwin trapped Jos Buttler lbw for a two-ball duck as England were rocked out of their comfort zone.

Sensing a kill, India never let go the pressure in the remainder of the session. Every time England tried to build a partnership, Indian bowlers struck back and it resulted in regular wickets.

Ashwin dismissed Ben Stokes (21) with a return catch in the 75th over as England were reduced to 243 for seven. A 35-run partnership between Adil Rashid (13) and Curran India’s Mohammed Shami, second right, celebrates with teammates after raised visions of a fight back dismissing England’s Keaton Jennings, Wednesday. (AP/PTI) Birmingham, Aug 1 (PTI): Off-spinner Ravichandran Aswhin produced one of his impactful performance outside the subcontinent as India reduced England to 285 for nine on the opening day of the first cricket Test, here Wednesday.

Ashwin (4/60) registered his best figures in Test cricket across South Africa, England and Australia as the hosts lost six wickets for 69 runs in the final session of play to find themselves in

a precarious position after opting to bat. Joe Root (80 runs off 156 balls, 9x4s) scored an unbeaten 41st Test half-century, but the English innings completely got derailed after his dismissal.

At stumps, Sam Curran was batting on 24 with James Anderson for company. In the final session of the day, India didn’t begin well with England progressing as Jonny Bairstow (70 off 88 balls, 9x4s) brought up his 18th Test half-century off 72 balls. In doing so, he

put on 105 runs with Root for the fourth wicket.

Root and Bairstow got their runs off only 138 balls as England crossed 200 in the 62nd over and were looking set for a strong total before things unravelled in the most odd fashion.

It was the 63rd over of the innings when Virat Kohli’s direct throw ran out Root as he tried to come back for non-existent double. That dismissal changed momentum of the innings with England collapsing

but Ishant Sharma (1/46) finally got return for his hard toil, trapping Rashid lbw with a sharp inswinger.

Ashwin then accounted for Stuart Broad (1), lbw too, but Anderson somehow managed to thwart his efforts for a five-wicket haul.

Earlier, Mohammed Shami struck twice in the second session before England skipper Root scored his 41st Test half-century to guide the hosts to 163 for three at tea. Root also became the quickest batsman to 6,000 Test runs in terms of time from his debut when he reached the landmark.

Root got to the landmark in five years and 231 days of his Test career, surpassing former England captain Alastair Cook’s mark of five years and 339 days.

KOHIMA, AUG 1 (NPN): Velukho Rakho scored a hat-trick as 10-man Khriekesa FC Meriema beat United FC 4-1 in the ongoing 2nd edition of the Kohima Football League at Kohima local ground here on Wednesday.

Khriekesa FC were reduced to 10 men after Kekhriengulie Usou was sent off the field for foul play in the second session.

The tournament is organized by Kohima Town Club (KTC).

Khriekesa FC, which finished fourth in the first edition, drew the first

blood, when Velukho Rakho scored a stunning freekick in the 14th minute.

United 16 pressed hard for equalizer but without much success. They finally restored parity through Longkhoi’s strike with eight minutes remaining to the first session. Earlier, in the 5th minute, United FC16 should have taken the lead had Longhoi converted the spot-kick. The first session ended in 1-1 draw.

After the breather, Khriekesa FC came back strongly by scoring three more goals to earn three crucial points even thought they played the second half with only 10 men.

Velukho Rakho netted his second goal again through a free-kick in the 78th minute.

He scored his third through a spot kick in the 89th minute to become the second player to score a hat-trick in this edition.

The fourth goal was scored

by Vimelie in the added time (90+2).

Velukho Rakho and Ruokuovolie Phewhuo of Khriekesa FC Meriema received yellow cards for foul play.

PV Sindhu

Kidambi Srikanth

Nanjing, Aug 1 (PTI): PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth notched up contrasting wins to progress to the pre-quarterfinals but world no 11 H S Prannoy suffered a shock defeat to unheralded Brazilian Ygor Coelho to bow out of the World Championship in Nanjing on Wednesday.

Olympic silver medallist Sindhu, who had got a bye in the first round, opened her campaign with an easy 21-14 21-9 win over

Indonesia’s Fitriani. The 23year-old Indian, who won the silver medal last year, will face Korean Sung Ji Hyun, a 2015 World Championship bronze medallist, in the next round.

Srikanth, seeded fifth, recovered from a slump during the hard-fought contest to see off Spain’s Pablo Abian 21-15 12-21 21-14 in a second-round match that lasted 62 minutes.

The 25-year-old Indian, who had clinched four titles

last year, will lock horns with Malaysia’s Daren Liew, a former world no 10, who had won the 2012 French Open Super Series.

B Sai Praneeth also entered the next round after defeating Spain’s Luís Enrique Penalver 21-18 21-11 to set up a meeting with Denmark’s Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus.

However, Prannoy and Sameer Verma bowed out of the tournament. Prannoy, seeded 11th, couldn’t hold on to the momentum after breezing through the opening game to eventually lose 21-8 16-21 15-21 to Coelho, ranked 39th in the world.

Later, Sameer failed to get across former two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan, losing 17-21 14-21 in a 45-minute match.

It also turned out to be a disastrous day for the Indian doubles pairs as all of them lost their respective matches to crash out of the prestigious tournament.

London, Aug 1 (IANS): Asian champions India powered past lower-ranked Italy with an easy 3-0 victory in a playoff here on Tuesday to set-up a quarter-final against Ireland in the Women’s Hockey World Cup. World No 10 India produced a good all-round display and were helped by goals from Lalremsiami (ninth minute), Neha Goyal (45th) and Vandana Katariya (55th) at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre.

India had to be alert against world No 17 Italy, who had defeated higherranked sides South Korea and China to qualify for the playoffs. Even though the European outfit conceded 12 goals against the Netherlands in their last game, both Italy and India were guarded against each other. It resulted with the match opening up with a slow tempo during the beginning moments of the first period.

But India created a glorious opportunity in the ninth minute as Navjot Kaur

won the first penalty corner of the match. The resulting flick was taken by Gurjit Kaur and her fierce strike was deflected away by the first rusher.

India took their long corner quickly, managing to exploit the space in the Italian striking circle, and young striker Lalremsiami benefitted from it as she produced a calm finish from the left side of the goal to give India the lead.

The early stages of the second quarter saw India’s captain Rani Rampal create a chance in the 17th minute as she ran by the left baseline, passing the ball inside which was eventually cleared by Italian goalkeeper Martina Chirico.

The Italian goalkeeper was called into action again two minutes later as Udita found herself in the striking circle, clear of all Italian defenders, but Chirico got to the ball first to clear away the danger. India could have gone 2-0 up in the 34th minute as Navneet Kaur found

The young forward turned and deceived the Italian goalkeeper but just missed the target as she placed the ball wide of the goal-post.

India continued to surge forward and earned three penalty corners in this quarters. From the third penalty corner, Reena

Khokhar’s flick deflected off an Italian defender and clumsily got trapped under the goalkeeper. The Indian attackers looked to put the ball into the back of net and it was Neha who got the final touch to extend India’s advantage. Trailing 0-2, Italy showed some urgency in the fourth quarter. Drag-flicker Agata Wybieralska forced

a good save from goalkeeper Savita. However, India upped the ante to kill off the game by earning two backto-back penalty corners in the 54th and 55th minutes.

In the second penalty corner, Gurjit Kaur’s fierce low flick towards the right side of goalkeeper was cleverly deflected in by Vandana to make it 3-0.

Man Utd hold on to beat Real 2-1 F l o r i da , A ug 1 (Agencies): Jose Mourinho was finally given something to smile about as a tempestuous trip to the United States ended with Man United’s 2-1 win over former club Real Madrid thanks to first-half strikes from Alexis Sanchez and Ander Herrera, AFP reported.

Mourinho has cut a miserable figure during their two week trip to the United States, lashing out at a lack of transfer activity while reserving stinging criticism for a number of first team players.

But seeing his side establish a two goal lead in the first half was encouraging, as was holding Real at bay after Karim Benezema’s goal just before the interval gave the Spanish side hope of mounting a comeback.

The Portuguese has been without 12 key players for most of the tour with many enjoying an extended break following the World Cup. In front of 64,141 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, United were finish-

La Liga starts a week later than the Premier League so new Real manager Julen Lopetegui was able to name the likes of Gareth Bale to start while Germany star Toni Kroos

was on the bench.

Spanish international David de Gea was making his first start since returning from the extra time given to him following the World Cup and he was almost beaten in the eighth minute - Bale starting a move which saw Benzema fire just wide from close range.

Brazilian Fred, who was signed earlier this summer for £52 million, was making his first United start and looked comfortable in his new surroundings.

And on 18 minutes, United were ahead. Herrera fed Matteo Darmian and teed up Sanchez who clinically swept the ball home.

The second goal which arrived on 27 minutes was equally impressive.

Darmian lifted the ball to Mata and once the Spaniard had regained his composure he crossed for Sanchez who was able to divert the ball into the path of Herrera who made no mistake.

Bale curled wide soon after but just before the interval, Benzema tapped in an excellent Theo Hernandez cross to give the vast amounts of Madrid fans in Miami something to cheer.

Bale, a one time target for Mourinho, was withdrawn for the second half as Lopetegui shuffled his pack and one of the substitutes, Martin Odegaard should have levelled on 56 minutes when he blazed over the bar from eight yards.

The Norwegian saw a free-kick saved by De Gea late on but United held firm to lift Mourinho’s mood.

It was their first victory in regulation play this pre-season - AC Milan were defeated on penalties in Los Angeles last week.
