“If the people make good use of the school, state will see a sea of change of prosperity within four to five years”, he said.

With over 50% food grains being supplied from outside the state, Zeliang said it was a major concern, as Nagaland needed to attain self sufficiency by 2025. He said just by having mere vision, Na-

gas would never see the reality.

Laying emphasis on farming, he said “it is not only for the poor economic background but, everyone can do farming be it serving or retired government employees, educated unemployed.”

Parliamentary secretary for Vety. &AH, S. Chuba Longkumer in his address said that the FTS was to impart technical knowledge to the farmers in order to enhance animal production and allied activities for improving economic status of farmers and thereby creating job opportunity for the unemployed.

This would have a significant beneficial impact in generating employment and reducing poverty in rural areas, he added.

Prime Minister Modi blasts cow vigilantes, calls them ‘anti-social’ ‘Anti-social elements’ indulge in crimes by the night and masquerade as cow protectors by the day NEW DELHI, AUG 6 (PTI): In his first public denouncement of cow vigilantes, some of whom flogged dalits in his home state Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said he felt enraged at such “anti-social elements” who indulged in crimes by the night and masqueraded as cow protectors by the day.

Amid the continuing outrage over the brutal flogging of four dalit men by cow brigade members in Gujarat, the Prime Minister said real cow protectors do not terrorise people and that some criminal elements has opened “shops” in the name of cow protection. To prevent violence in the name of cow protection, he urged state governments to prepare “dossiers” on such so-called cow protectors and put them on a tight leash.

“I feel infuriated at some people who have opened shops in the name of cow protection.

I have seen that some people who commit anti-social activities through the night, don the mantle of cow protectors by the day.

“I urge the state govern-

ments to prepare a dossier of such self-proclaimed volunteers and big cow protectors. It will be found that 70 to 80 per cent are such people who commit such bad deeds which society does not accept. To hide their bad activities, they don the mantle of cow protectors,” he said, in his first public snub to the vigilantes perpetrating brutalities in the name of cow protection.

Modi said volunteer groups and organisations are not meant to “terrorise and brutalise people” and should instead inculcate in themselves the feeling of compassion and sacrifice to do social work.

“For doing good work and social service, one does not need the Prime Minister to deliver a speech,” he said, asking people to help the poor of their own accord.

Modi’s denounced the cow vigilantes during his Town Hall-style address to mark the second anniversary of his government’s MyGov initiative.

His comments come at a time when his government and BJP are facing flak over incidents of violence against

Dalits and Muslims by cow vigilantes in various states including Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

Noting that more cows die from consuming plastic than from slaughter, he said those who want to serve the animal should rather work towards stopping cows from eating plastic as that will be a bigger service. Recalling his own work in the service of cow, he said at one health camp organised by him for the animal, at least two buckets full of plastic were removed from the stomach of one of them.

‘Gau Seva’ can’t be misused: PM

Following the first-ever townhall address to the nation by an Indian prime minister on Saturday, PM Narendra Modi took to Twitter to highlight some views expressed earlier in the day, specifically those dealing with the recent violence inflicted by Gau Rakshaks in the name of cow worship.

The prime minister in a series of tweets said, “The sacred practice of cow worship and the compassion of Gau Seva can’t be misused by some miscreants posing as Gau Rakshaks,” adding that, the “misdeeds” of some people posing as cow vigilantes are “doing a great disservice to the noble deed” of cow worship practiced by Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave.

CM inaugurates farmers’ training school Custodial death: State govt. Heavy downpour triggers suspends 2 police officers mudslide in Mokokchung

JALUKIE, AUG 6 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on Saturday inaugurated the state’s first ever Farmers’ Training School (FTS) at Jalukie, Peren district.

With Peren district being considered as one of the most fertile area in Nagaland and the school being established in the district, Zeliang urged DIPHU, AUG 6: Oppos- the people to make best posing the ban on sale of sand sible use of the training school from Karbi Anglong by ‘Sand Mahaldars Suppliers Association’, the sand quarry (mahal) owners of Karbi Anglong have requested the truckers from Dimapur (Nagaland) to lift Rupesh Dutta sand from all parts of Karbi Anglong district “without any N E W D E L H I , AU G 6 apprehension.” The quarry (IANS): The historic Naga owners have also assured the Peace Accord has completed buyers and transporters of one year but ambiguity still sand that they would guaran- looms large over its details. tee safety and security of the Naga society appears divided truckers and buyers within the over the accord, with some district.

Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation(ENPO) general secretary Manlang Phom, a stakeholder of the Naga Peace Accord inked in August last year, says he has lost interest in the pact and would rather press ahead for a separate state of Frontier Nagaland.

“I feel our issue -- the demand for Frontier Nagaland -is more important. It is better not to comment on the Naga “What can you expect Peace Accord, which again is by checking bogus ration very sensitive. Too much time cards when you don’t has elapsed since the accord check where rice and was inked,” Phom told IANS kerosene go to?” on phone.

Further, the minister envisioned the role of this College that would go a long way in helping Nagaland in accessing modern technologies to fulfil the vision of the state government for self-sufficiency in animal husbandry produces, given the reality that livestock, piggery and poultry farming has been an integral part of the Naga people.

Union Minister said agricultural education played an important role in ensuring food security and human resource development in any society, wherein the role of Universities was pivotal.

Considering this need, he said the Government of India established Central Agricultural University in the region

in 1992. The University has so far established seven colleges.

Keeping in view the advancement of human resource and agricultural and allied sciences, during the Twelve Five Year Plan, the Centre added six more colleges in the Region.

The CoVS&AH, Jalukie is also one of the colleges added during the Twelve Five Year Plan, he said.

While the College was being established by the Central Government, Singh said help and support of the state government and VCI was also equally important in achieving the mandate of the College in letter and spirit. Minister also assured that the infrastructure will be developed in a faster speed and all required posts of teaching and non-teaching staff will be filled up expeditiously.

Union Minister also announced that another Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) would be established in Kiphire district. He said front line demonstration of pulses and oil seeds would be conducted in 60 hectares and 220 hectares respectively in the state this year.

Delivering keynote address, State chief minister, T.R Zeliang, described the day as another important milestone in the history of the onward journey of Nagaland towards all round development.

Zeliang informed that while seeking to achieve self sufficiency in meat production by 2025 and the Vision Docu-

After signing the accord, Government of India said it would come out with the details in the next six months, but it is yet to do so. The delay is adding to rising differences among the other NSCN factions, whose support is important for the accord to become a success.

GPRN/NSCN Khitovi Zhimomi, whose faction was not part of the accord, said that Nagas of Nagaland were not supporting the peace deal as the NSCN (I-M) leader Th. Muivah was a “Naga from Manipur” who was merely speaking for his people.

“After the accord was signed, Naga inhabitants in Manipur lighted candles in celebration. But in Nagaland not even a matchstick was lighted.

The people in Nagaland are still in the dark about it. How can such an accord be accepted by the people of Nagaland?,” Zhimomi said.

“We had foreseen the confusion of the deal. My government had declared in the media that if the accord benefits the NSCN (I-M) and

Naga brothers and sisters living in Manipur, let them have it. Nagas of Nagaland should not be disturbed because they have their own social and political structure,” he added.

NSCN (Reformation) general secretary, P. Tikhak, which supported the accord, says that delay in conclusion of the pact is a “deliberate act” of the Indian government and the increasing differences of opinion over it was further complicating the situation.

“Uncle Muivah will have to work out a formula with the Indian government as he has already entered into an agreement. In case he is not able to manage that, then it will lead nowhere,” Tikhak told IANS. According to sources in the Union Home Ministry, if the Naga Peace Accord becomes a reality it will only benefit the NSCN (I-M) and its leadership and not the other factions as they did not join the negotiations.

According to the sources, the accord has a clause for creation of a new paramilitary force battalion to absorb

the over 4,000 armed cadres of the NSCN (I-M). But the cadres of the other factions have been left out.

Naga Hoho president Chuba Ozukum, the apex Naga civil society body and a stakeholder of the accord, told IANS: “In a democratic setup there cannot be any consensus, but at the same time the government cannot afford to listen to each and every opinion of the individuals which vary drastically.”

“I am sure there is no Naga who is against the political settlement. Yes, certainly we have different tribal factions and different problems, which is quite common. It is the prerogative of the Indian government to look for a solution,” said Ozukum.

Rosemary Dzuvichu, advisor to the Naga Mothers Association, also a stakeholder in the Naga peace negotiations, said: “The government is quite serious about the negotiation process. We can’t afford to talk about differences in opinions regarding the accord.”

DIMAPUR, AUG 6 (NPN): Incessant rains in Mokokchung district have triggered mudslides affecting normal life with most of the roads within the town and the roads connecting villages remained disrupted.

According to an official bulletin, continuous heavy downpour for the last two days has caused landslides in different wards and localities of Mokokchung town causing minor damages to residential buildings. One servicing centre in the town was hit by a mudslides resulting in damaging of two vehicles. However, no loss of life was reported.

Measles behind deaths of 40 children in Naga area of Myanmar M A N DA L AY, AU G 6 (AGENCIES): At least 40 people, nearly all of them children, have died from an outbreak of measles in a remote, impoverished region of Myanmar where there is little available health care, officials said on Saturday.

More than 200 people have come down with measles since mid-July, when an epidemic swept through five villages in the mountainous Naga Self-Administered Zone of northwestern Myanmar.

Thirty-five of the dead were children under the age of 15, said U Kay Sai, the chairman of the Naga SelfAdministered Zone.

Myanmar is emerging from five decades of military rule that left it one of the poorest countries in Asia. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy took power in April, but her government has been slow to improve services or

adopt an economic recovery program.

Khar Nu, whose family lives in the largely Christian village of Htan Kaw Lar Mar, told a doctor who reached the area that his 10-year-old daughter, Ma Nyout, had initially come down with a fever.

“Then I saw red spots on her skin, and she was coughing all the time,” he said, according to the doctor, Dr. Kyaw Soe. “We don’t have a clinic here. I just gave her rainwater.

But she didn’t get well and passed away after three days.

She is in heaven now.”

The villages, home to about 2,500 people, are so remote that it took doctors a week to reach them, after first hearing reports of an outbreak of an unknown illness. The travel was especially difficult because this is the rainy season in the Naga region.

Even then, two more weeks passed before the health authorities publicly confirmed that the illness was measles.

“These areas are remote and hard to reach for medical care,” said Dr. Soe Lwin Nyein, Myanmar’s director of public health. Many areas of Myanmar are without medical services, “and we are trying our best to have a health care system there,” he said.

He said the public health department was seeking assistance from the military to reach other affected villages by helicopter.

A measles epidemic in the region in 2001 killed at least 30 people, Dr. Soe Lwin Nyein said.

Dr. Than Tun Aung, the country’s deputy director of public health, said 94 percent of Myanmar’s population was vaccinated for measles in 2015. He could not say how many people in the Naga Self-Administered Zone had received the vaccine or why so many people had come down with measles in the affected villages. “Some kids were missed,” he said.

The Joint Council also alleged that “the post mortem and the disposal of the dead body of the deceased was carried out in a hush hush manner and the colony authority were kept in the dark all throughout.”

“Whether we remain a state under the Indian union we have to sustain ourselves, whether we constitute a sovereign independence nation we have to sustain ourselves, the position does not change.

Whether be it as a state within the India union or we become a sovereign nation we have to sustain our own.

We need to bring out our tax structures, revenue structures, economic policies developments, industrialization,” he said.

He rued that if “we” expect to get salary from the government of India by staying within India union with no industrialization, no economic activities, then that would be very foolish on “our” part, he added. This is where “we” are running against time, he added.

Each and every individual has to come together and discuss the issues on how to create a space for development /industrialization friendly climate in order to have secure and provide a better future for the upcoming generation, for which the present one should take the responsibility of achieving the desire, Yitachu said.

NIA team visits Kokrajhar; massive operations on

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal chairs a meeting to review the law and order situation of the state in Guwahati on Friday. (PTI) KOKRAJHAR (ASSAM), AUG 6 (PTI): An NIA team Saturday scoured the site and spoke to eyewitnesses of yesterday’s terror attack here in which 14 people were killed while a massive combing operation was on to nab the militants of Bodo separatist outfit NDFB(S) suspected to be involved in the strike.

Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who visited the attack site, told reporters that the militant who was neutralised yesterday has been identified as Manjay Islari.

“He is a self-styled area commander of 16th battalion of NDFB(S) faction. We will give the body to his parents,” he said.

He said that combing op-

eration in the area has been intensified to nab those who fled after carrying out the attack on Balajan Tiniali market, about 12 km from here, just days before Independence Day. To a question, he said that the militants were not part of any suicide squad. “If they were part of a suicide squad they would not have fled.”

An NIA team has reached the spot and was speaking to eyewitnesses, officials said.

Combing operation by police, para-military and army is also on in neighbouring Chirang district to nab militants.

Defence sources said specialised troops, tracker dogs and other equipment have been pressed into service.

The Ar my was also

carrying out extensive area domination operations in the district to ensure swift actions, they said.

The situation was described as tense but under control by police.

maintained along the AssamBengal interstate border and international fronts with Bhutan to prevent the NDFB(S) militants from escaping there, the sources said.

Meanwhile, opposition Congress leaders, who visited Kokrajhar today, accused the ruling BJP government in the state of failing to take preventive measures despite the fact that militants regularly indulge in violent activities in the run up to Independence and Republic Days.

Armed militants dressed in army fatigues and belonging to the Bodo separatist outfit had opened fire and threw grenades at the crowded weekly market killing 14 people. One of the attackers, who were believed to be five in number, was killed in retaliatory action by security forces, police had said.

Assam Director-General of Police Mukesh Sahay had said that the attack was suspected to be the handiwork of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-S). AK-56 and 47 series rifles along with grenades were also recovered from the spot.

The Assam Director General of Police and Additional Chief Secretary T Y Das also held a high level security review meeting with the district administration where it was decided to continue with the security operations.

ITANAGAR, AUG 6 (PTI): To address the recurring flood problem in the state, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has called for finding a long-term solution instead of taking short-term measures.

“What we want is a longterm solution. The cost will be high but efforts will be on,” the Chief Minister said yesterday.

During his visit to floodravaged Namsai district yesterday, Khandu inspected a breached embankment of NoaDehing river that has taken a new course through low-lying areas of Lower Silatoo, Nongkhong and Mahadevpur areas crossing NH 52 to rejoin its original course near Mahaloni village, an official release said today.

The swollen river pose a danger to the entire Mahadevpur town and could be a threat to Namsai area if it is not diverted to its original course, the release said.

Redirecting the river to its original course would involve latest technology, the Chief Minister said, adding the work would be entrusted to the Water Resource department, which would consult specialized firms fo r river piping to prevent erosion along the 2 km of breached embankment.

“What we want is a longterm solution. The cost will be high but efforts will be on.

I have authorized the Chief Secretary to go ahead with the work,” he said at a public meeting in Namsai town and announced that the project to channel Nao-Dehing river

to its original course will be started soon.

Khandu said the people affected by the floods will be “fully” compensated as per relief norms.

“I have come here to share your sorrow as Chief Minister. Don’t worry the government is with you, the administration is with you,” he assured.

Responding to the memoranda submitted by the public, Khandu advised the people to be optimistic during a difficult situation like this.

“People are in grief over their loss. If we fill the atmosphere with negativity, it will make them sadder. What we need is a problem-solving attitude. Give them hope,” he urged the officials, the release added.

Earlier in the day yesterday, the Chief Minister visited a relief camp in New Silatoo area and promised its inhabitants that there would be no shortage of ration, water supply and medical facilities in the camps.

In view of the flood, the local administration had set up 28 relief camps in which about 6,000 people had taken shelter.

With the flood situation improving, the number of the camps has come down to 4 and the number of inhabitants to 308.

“I have directed the administration and the department to ensure that there is shortage of any facilities in the relief camps,” Khandu told the flood victims.

They prevented movement of all kinds of vehicles along this section of the highway. No untoward incident has so far been reported on the first day of the bandh.

Emergency ser vices, media, religious related and patient carrying vehicles were being kept outside the purview of the bandh.

Notably, M Lamneikim Haokip was found dead in a mysterious condition at her house at H Wajang Village under Tengnoupal police station of Chandel district on August 4 last.

JAC convener M Lhunmang Haokip alleged that Lamneikim was murdered by her boy friend DP Kophung Maring (25) of Lamlong Khonou.

He claimed that DP Kophung Maring and one of his friends Cornilus visited the house of the victim on that very day while she was alone.

While the alleged culprit, Kophung Maring, was inside the victim’s house, his friend stayed as a watchman near the main gate of the residence before the duo left the house.

Victim’s younger sister who was at their aunt’s house opposite to the their house has seen them leaving the house hurriedly after which she rushed to the house only to witness her sister lying dead.

Bora, a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) volunteer, had filed the defamation suit against Rahul for allegedly tarnishing the image of the RSS by stating before media that he was not allowed to enter the Barpeta Satra, an institute, by RSS members in December last year.

Bora said that Rahul was supposed to visit the 15th century Satra on December 12 last year. But Rahul decided not to go to the Satra and instead took part in a public rally in Barpeta town.

Another IED recovered close to Friday’s blast site Correspondent IMPHAL, AUG 6: A 2.5 kg IED was found on Saturday near a sentry post of PIB (Defense Wing), Imphal office premise, just around 50 meter off Friday’s explosion site.

The bomb was found conceale in an unattended flower pot by personnel of 109th CRPF who were foot patrolling in the periphery of the Imphal Raj Bhavan around 6.15 a.m. on Saturday. Manipur police used its sniffer dogs to detect the IED before the bomb detection and disposal squad defused the bomb. The bomb squad had a hard time trying to defuse the IED which had a dual mechanism trigger. According to them, the IED was a new model. Both Friday’s blast site and Saturday’s recovery were close to the temporary Ima market shed. Strongly condemning the

blast and recovery of another one, women vendors of the Ima (Women) markets ceased their business of the day and staged a sit-in-protest at the Ima Keithel Temporary Market.

The women vendors describedit as ‘barbaric act’.

President of Khwairamband Nupi Keithel Sinpham and Saktam Kanba Lup Th Santi Devi said, ‘We are only daily earners and who will be benefitted when we are threatened,” she said while saying that “it seems to target only the Ima Keithel.” She also urged if any of the underground groups behind the incidents to come out and clarify the motive.

She also blamed that the state government for unable to check bomb blasts which were frequently taking place in the state mostly at the time of Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations.

Rupani to take oath as Guj CM today

GANDHINAGAR, AUG 6 (PTI): Vijay Rupani will tomorrow be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where BJP is grappling with unrest due to the Patel quota stir and attacks on Dalits ahead of the high-stake Assembly elections scheduled next year.

60-year-old Rupani today met Governor O P Kohli and staked claim to form the government, a day after he was elected by BJP legislators to succeed Anandiben Patel, with the central leadership playing a vital role in the choice.

After the meeting with the Governor, BJP state in-charge Dinesh Sharma said Rupani will take oath tomorrow at 12.40 PM. While Rupani was accompanied by Deputy CM designate Nitin Patel and other state leaders, outgoing Chief Minister Anandiben Patel was conspicous by her absence.

“We have told the Governor that the BJP Legislature party has endorsed the names of Vijay Rupani as new Chief Minister and Nitin Patel as Deputy Chief Minister,” Sharma said after the meeting.

“The Governor has given his go ahead for the oath taking ceremony which will be held tomorrow at 12.40 PM,” he said. He, however, evaded a direct reply to a question on

File photo of Vijay Rupani with BJP President Amit Shah.

Rupani was on Friday chosen by the Gujarat BJP as the State’s next Chief Minister. (PTI) Anandiben’s absence, saying, “She was present when she resigned. Today those who have been chosen are present.”

In a dramatic turnaround the BJP central leadership yesterday decided on Rupani, an Amit Shah loyalist and state party chief, to replace Anandiben as the chief minister, instead of Nitin Patel who was the front-runner till the

last moment. Anandiben had insisted on Nitin Patel as her successor, while Shah stood firm by Rupani.

As a compromise formula, Patel was elevated to be Deputy Chief Minister after intervention of the central leadership, including Modi.

Selection of Rupani, who belongs to Jain Baniya community, is being seen as a deft

move by the party to avoid the impression of favouring any major segment of the society over others.

While the Patel community has been on a warpath with their demand for OBC quota, the state has witnessed Dalit unrest over the widely condemned Una flogging incident which seems to have dented the image of the government.

Rupani, who came up through the RSS, is being assigned the task of leading BJP in the polls at a time when BJP is struggling to retain its political base. The party has also been affected by the absence of leaders of Modi’s calibre in the state. Anandiben, who turns 75 this November, had handed over her resignation to the Governor on Wednesday.

Under her leadership, BJP had suffered losses in the civic polls last year, with the opposition Congress making handsome gains at the expense of its saffron rival.

In the last two years, BJP has been at loggerheads with its loyal vote bank of Patidars who have been demanding OBC quota and launched violent protests for the same.

A devoted RSS member since his school days, Rupani, hailing from politically significant Saurashtra region, is known for hard work but keeps a low profile.

Sonia walks, exercises; doctors happy with progress NEW DELHI, AUG 6 (PTI): Congress chief Sonia Gandhi is on the road to recovery as she walked and did some exercises today, three days after she underwent a surgery on her left shoulder, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, where she is admitted, saidon Saturday.

Her condition is “stable” and all vital parameters are normal, the hospital said in its latest medical bulletin on the veteran leader’s health status.

“The experts treating Mrs Gandhi are happy with her steady recuperation. She also walked and did some exercises today.

“Her condition is stable and all vital parameters are normal. Dr Prateek Gupta, Orthopaedic Consultant from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and Dr Sanjay Desai from Mumbai who operated on Mrs Gandhi for a shoulder injury, are happy with her progress,” according to the bulletin issued by Dr D S Rana, Chairman (Board of Management) of the hospital.

69-year-old Gandhi was shifted to the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on Wednesday from the Army Research and Referral Hospital, where she was rushed soon after her arrival from Varanasi around midnight on Tuesday.

‘Win hearts of people’ in Kashmir, Azad tells PM Modi NEW DELHI, AUG 6 (PTI): Opposition Congress Saturday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “win the hearts” of the people of Kashmir, where the situation is turning “too dangerous”.

“I would request your kind indulgence for taking urgent steps to win the hearts of the people of the state and also ensure that the law and order situation is restored at the earliest,” Ghulam Nabi Azad, a former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, said in an open letter to the Prime Minister.

Azad, the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, regretted that there was no recognition of the Kashmir situation at national level.

Making a pitch for “political process” to find a solution to the problem, he reminded the Prime Minister that even in the face of worst provocations past governments had never abandoned it both on external and internal fronts.

“The initiative taken by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee that Kashmir problem can be solved within the ambit of ‘insaniyat’, Jamhuriyat’ and Kashmiriyat” followed by Delhi-Lahore bus service, was appreciated by

Ghulam Nabi Azad one and all,” Azad said.

Similarly, the UPA government under Manmohan Singh took some bold confidence building measures to win the hearts of the people of the state by starting a bus service between Uri and Muzafarabad, and Poonch and Rawalkote.

“But, unfortunately no such initiative is forthcoming from the present NDA Government under your leadership,” he said.

“Neither is the government showing any urgency to deal with the situation nor is it taking other national political parties into confidence as was demanded during the discussion in the Parliament,” he said.

Azad termed as “unfor-

tunate” the government having “forgotten or ignored” lessons from 2008 and 2010 agitations when the then governments had appreciated the political nature of the problem and at least initiated a political process by sending an All-Party Parliament delegation.

He said in 2010 an-all party delegation vsited Kashmir and met a cross-section of people. Subsequently, the interlocutors were appointed.

They carried out wide ranging discussions as a result of which the anger and resentment subsided.

“Today there seems no such effort on the part of the Central Government. What is New Delhi waiting for? When is Government of India going to wake up? The use of pellet guns is not a solution at all,” he said. Azad said there is a complete breakdown of law and order and “today even elected representatives are also facing the ire and are not able to connect with the people.

They are running away from scene which tells us about the reality on the ground.”

He said the “silence” of the Centre has further compounded the problem and asked the government to change its attitude towards Jammu and Kashmir.

THIRUVANANTHAPUAM, AUG 6 (PTI): Kerala police has come under flak after a traffic official allegedly hit a motorcyclist, who was with his child, with a wireless set for riding without a helmet, leaving him injured, with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today warning the force against such behaviour.

Terror signature

ven as the prospect of return to normalcy remains the highlight of various political groups including armed militants and when a new coalition government led for the first time by the BJP has raised expectations; the cold blooded killings in Kokrajhar on August 5 was a jolt to such expectations. The killing which Assam Police blamed on the NDFB (Songbijit) faction has only confirmed that the law and order situation in several states of the north east region cannot be tagged as peaceful since there are various armed outfits that have refused to respond to New Delhi’s call for peaceful resolution to their demands. While Nagaland and Mizoram and to an extent, Arunachal Pradesh remain largely peaceful, the strains of being in a politically highly volatile region is reminded by the happenings in other states. Perhaps the region cannot do away with the politics of ethnicity that has made it also a cauldron. There can be no words to describe such cowardly attacks against innocent and unarmed people. Further, Friday’s gory killings in Kokrajhar has also confirmed that the government of Assam, under any political party, has not been able to use its machinery and system to prevent such violence.

It is therefore now a time to seriously ponder over giving formation of an anti-terrorism division comprising of select police and paramilitary forces with wide powers and unfettered by legalism. Such mindless acts against innocent people deserve not only condemnation but should lead to a resolve to unite against forces inimical to human sanctity and sanity. Several incidents in the recent past have clearly shown that some outfits have no compunction to cause loss of innocent human lives. No sane human being will condone such acts but sanity is perhaps missing from the dictionary of all those who use terrorism as a political tool. The Government of India too must adopt a proactive strategy to bring all outfits to the negotiating table with an open mind.

There should be a time frame for responding to the open call for negotiations and if this is rejected, then the government should combat terrorism and ensure that political governments in the region fall in line with the singular objective of isolating outfits that use terror tactics and bringing them to their knees. If militant outfits are interested in talks, they must cease every kind of anti people act and resolve their demands through peaceful negotiation.

Deploying more armed forces will also not help as it will only lead to functional problems. Heightened security and vastly improved intelligence networks are two factors that can act as strong deterrent against terrorism. This aspect needs to be applied to the entire north east in order to check movement of militants and which calls for wider involvement of agencies of other nearby states. Outfits armed with sophisticated weapons, had managed in the past few years to strike at their will. It clearly shows that even the innocent are not spared for use as pawns in the deadly terror game. The political leadership at the Centre and the various parties that have a stake in Assam must come together in meeting the challenge. Society cannot be held ransom and neither people’s lives imperilled by those who do not respect the will of the people or show regard for human lives.

DailyDevotion The Cross in Prayer In that day you will ask in My name…

—John 16:26 We too often think of the Cross of Christ as something we have to get through, yet we get through for the purpose of getting into it. The Cross represents only one thing for us— complete, entire, absolute identification with the Lord Jesus Christ— and there is nothing in which this identification is more real to us than in prayer.

“Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:8). Then why should we ask? The point of prayer is not to get answers from God, but to have perfect and complete oneness with Him. If we pray only because we want answers, we will become irritated and angry with God. We receive an answer every time we pray, but it does not always come in the way we expect, and our spiritual irritation shows our refusal to identify ourselves truly with our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove that God answers prayer, but to be living trophies of God’s grace. “…I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; for the Father Himself loves you…” (John 16:26-27). Have you reached such a level of intimacy with God that the only thing that can account for your prayer life is that it has become one with the prayer life of Jesus Christ? Has our Lord exchanged your life with His vital life? If so, then “in that day” you will be so closely identified with Jesus that there will be no distinction.

When prayer seems to be unanswered, beware of trying to place the blame on someone else. That is always a trap of Satan. When you seem to have no answer, there is always a reason— God uses these times to give you deep personal instruction, and it is not for anyone else but you.

Post-mortem

keep concealing the Environmental issues in Dimapur Why contents of Framework?

S F and/gravel mining issue: Sand mining is becoming a major environmental issue as the demand for sand increases in construction of roads and buildings. Mention may be made that sand mining is still going on rampantly in various places (without ensuring the protection of the environment in accordance with prescribed environmental assessment guidelines) despite ban imposed on mining activities by the district administration. As a matter of fact, increasing demand of sand and gravel for developmental works has resulted in a mushrooming of river sand mining activities, given rise to various problems that require urgent action by the authorities. Because of illegal mining activities, we are witnessing the river bank erosion, river bed degradation, damage to bridges and nearby structures etc. Hence, taking the substantial environmental damage into consideration, it is seriously felt that ban on mining activities should be totally enforced immediately.

Sand stocking issue: Stockpiling/ sale of sand along the National Highway/ Roadsides should be prohibited as far as health impact and environment issues are concerned. Tons of sand lying alongside National Highway in various places requires urgent attention. It is a sad fact that the commuters are being faced with health complication as a consequence of illegal deal alongside the highway. The result becomes unbearable for commuters in Autos and two-wheeler particularly while loading the sand to the lorry as there has been numerous instances of sand entering the eyes of the commutersand drivers. This increases the chances of mishap for two wheelers and health risk for commuters. Sand stocking alongside highway also hinder traffic flow and problem to drivers of vehicles as sand carried by wind makes driving difficult. Hence, it is to be suggested that the competent authority should direct the owners to carry out their deal in other areas.

Stone crushers issue: Stone crushers illegally operating in human habitation and alongside National Highway should be relocated without delay. According to Environment (Sitting of Industrial Projects) Rule, 1999, minimum distance of the stone crusher from the nearest human habitation shall be 500 meters while the minimum distance of the stone crusher from State Highway/National Highway shall be 500 meters. However, stone crushers here in our city have been operating in the heart of human habitation and alongside National Highway. To be precise, stone crushers dust not only pollutes the environment but also posing severe health hazards to the workers engaged and the people living nearby. It is a sad fact that the nearby residents’ health has been adversely affected by the noise and dust emanating from the crushing activities. Mention may be made that in Burma Camp alone there are over half a dozen stone crushers operating within the residential area (without installing efficient pollution control mechanism) posing a threat to the lives of the inhabitants.

Drainage issues: A major area of concern in the city is the drainage system. It is a sad fact that almost all the drain in the city remains chocked due to excessive dumping of garbage by the traders/residents in the city. Owing to unrelenting dumping of waste in the drains by the traders/residents there is a considerable amount of garbage fluctuating on almost every drains in the city. The amount of waste in those drains is simply unbelievable. In times of drainage flood, water finds its way into the streets and into people’s home which is more vulnerable to our health and environment.

There are also many areas in the town where footpath drains covers are found lacking. It is to be mentioned that the dwellers or pedestrians normally throw all kind of waste in the drains without slabs. As a result, drains without slabs are almost packed with garbage. Broken drain slabs in many areas of the town needs urgent repair or replacement. In fact, roadside drains system are intended to confiscate water efficiently off the road and make it safe for vehicles and other road users

besides preventing structural damage to the road. However, the system here is quite different.

Here in our city, roadside drains are being efficiently utilized for dumping of garbage. The people out here take pleasure in dumping all kinds of garbage in the drains. No matter how best the municipal give its effort, there won’t be any desirable change unless we change our way of life. Drains usually get blocked when garbage or plastic bags are thrown in them leading to overflow of water on the roadsides.

Hence, drains in the city must be kept clean and obstruction-free. Any person found dumping waste into the drain should be sternly dealt with. Routine cleaning should be executed to prevent the drains from chocking.

It is sad to see that the waste dumped in the drain remain clogged for a long period of time giving a terrible experience for the residents and commuters. The wastes clogged in the drain not only produce awful stench but also creating a lot of health hazards to the people dwelling in the area. Municipal should take serious note of the drain that have been reported as blocked or have found to be blocked. In fine, the dream of clean city can never be achieved unless the drainage system is improved.

DMC’s dumping site issue: Dumping of waste in the human inhabited area is a matter of serious concern as far as health of the nearby residents and environment are concerned. The present DMC’s dumping site located at Burma Camp, Dimapur pose a threat to the life of the adjoining residents.

Besides, terrible smell and flies, the nearby residents have been undergoing untold sufferings all through the years particularly during routine burning of waste at the landfill. They had to spend the sleepless night on account of unbearable smell and smoke that emanates from the landfill during burning process.The nauseating stink during the disposal of sceptic tank and bio-medical waste from the landfill are another problems being faced by the resident.

A statistical analysis found that among men living in the exposure zone closest to the site, elevated risks were observed for cancers of the prostate, stomach, liver, and lungs. Increases in risk of adverse health effects (low birth weight, birth defects, and certain types of cancers) have been reported among resident residing nearby dump site as per the studies. Children living near waste sites also had increased rates of asthma.

The SEN has highlighted the plight of the people living nearby dumping site to the relevant authority and suggested for introduction of modern technology or shift the landfill to another location. As a sign of their serious concern towards environment conservation, the Dimapur Naga Students Union (DNSU) assured the SEN to jointly take up the issue of sand mining and dumping site in the city. Accordingly, the SEN and DNSU official after a consultative meeting at DNSU office met the CEO of DMC and apprise him of the dumping site issue. Wherein, the DMC chief disclosed its new project and assured the joint team that Integrated Solid Waste Management would be set up

by December.

Integrated Solid Waste Management facility by December: The Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC’s) move to introduce Integrated Solid Waste Management facility in the city (before December) is a welcome step.

The motive behind introduction of modern technology was to solve solid waste problem in the city. This was disclosed by Atokhe Aye, Chief Executive Officer of Dimapur Municipal Council on July 28. Interestingly, the DMC chief assured that the present dumping site would be upgraded to a ‘state of art’ by way of introducing modern technology. Atokhe also disclosed that soon after the introduction of Integrated Solid Waste Management; the present dumping site would be converted into an organic farming, water treatment plant, biogas plant, recycling plant and skill development thus paving the way for employment opportunities to the

unemployed Naga youths. DMC chief further highlighted that after the introduction of the Integrated Solid Waste Management, Dimapurians would not see any wastes rather witness tremendous development. I am convinced that once ISWM is set up as assured

by DMC chief before December, one of the most challenging issuesin the city i.e. solid waste management will be solved.

Piggery farm/pigs stockist issue: Pig farm close to human inhabited areas pose serious health risk to those living nearby. The residents living in piggery farm located at Burma Camp, Dimapur have been faced with untold health problems. It is to be mentioned that pig farm with such a poor condition should not be allowed to operate in the area. It was came to light that the colony members has in numerous occasions made a fervent appeal to the piggery farm owner to shift the farm to other location but their appeal have not yielded any results causing severe hardship to them. Hence, it is seriously viewed that the danger to public health caused by the pig farming sector should not be played down.

Miserably, the pigs are housed in the poor sheds close to human habitation. As a result, people living nearby are affected by terrible smells, flies, etc. greatly impacting their health. (According to study, pollution produced from pig farm causes illnesses in humans that range from brain damage and depression to miscarriage and birth defects. They are also responsible for antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections and severe respiratory problems).In fine, government agencies should not ignore the growing threat that these farms pose to the residents.

Food safety violation: Sale of dead/ailing pigs for food to slaughter houses is a matter of serious concern.

It has been reported that pigs died of illness or disease-ridden from pigs stock yard (located at Burma Camp and Ghorapatti near Nagaland Gate) has been sold off at low prices to the traders/butchers. As far as food safety is concerned, the concerned department should undertake routine checking before the pigs are delivered to the slaughterhouses. On seeing the condition of some pigs with different disease, it is seriously felt that those pigs are not fit to be sold for human consumption. However, those infected pigs are reported to have been sold to the butchers/traders at a lower price which finally ended up on our dinner plate. Illegal sale of death pigs or pigs infected with disease to the butchers who then sell the pork illegally to consumer should be sternly dealt with.

Surprisingly, slaughtered pig’s innards are disposed at the bank of drainage adjacent to pigs stock yard (also called piggery farm) at Ghorapatti. It is a clear indication that dead pigs/pigs suffering from various diseases are sold to the consumers since Nagas are known to savour the innards of different types of animals as special delicacy.

There is no denying the fact that the slaughter houses operating in the town are unhygienic. The meat is normally swarmed by insects/flies which is not fit for human consumption. We are also ignorant on how the meat which we savour is infested with flies before reaching our palate. We have on several occasions highlighted about the health risks in consuming meat which are sold without any coverings, but regretfully, it is to bring to notice that most of the butchers are still into selling their slaughtered animals without taking any precautionary measures which are harmful for human consumption.

Many butchers are into selling meat that has been already swarmed by flies before being sold to the ignorant customers. As far as healthy consumption is concerned, the meat should be regularly kept covered either by net or glasses to avoid access of insects. It is advisable that the meat sellers should carry out their deal in a way that would not be detrimental to the health of the people. There should be hygienic rules.

Selling meat under unhygienic conditions should be properly checked by the concerned authority time to time.

or academic interest: The Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang gave a clarion call to Nagas to appreciate the 3rd August 2015 Framework inhis address to participants at Tsungremmong festival at Mokokchung on 2nd August 2016. As the speech was published in local papers on 3rdAugust 2016, the CM added that ‘what India can provide to Nagas should be accepted’ by the Nagas. This is the question. What is or are the offer or offers India is ready to give to the Nagas out of the Framework? Out of the offer or offers, what are the facilities earmarked for the State of Nagaland? What is sillier than asking the people to accept an offer of which an iota is not known? Unless one who knows the merits of the Framework, how one will appreciate it imaginatively and hypothetically except for those sycophants?

What I know about the Framework and I do not doubt about it is that NSCN(IM) had agreed to frame such agreement under the Constitution of India, and therefore that agreement under Framework will be without Naga integration and sovereignty. My assertion is based on what the GOI had reiterated publicly that the issues of integration and sovereignty are not negotiable.

The logic is therefore obvious that had the group insisted on cessation from India, meaning Independence and amalgamation of all Naga contiguous areas, GOI would not have agreed to have the framework on 3rd August 2015.

The DAN Govt. headed by CM TR Zeliang has the knowledge of the contents of the Framework as the Interlocutor Sri. RN Ravi claimed. Ravi’s press interview was published in Nagaland Post on 15.7.2016 in which Ravi stated that the contents of Framework were shared with 60Legislators on 27th August 2015 at the Legislature complex (perhaps at Kohima). Quote ‘I am grateful to the Hon’ble Speaker, Nagaland Assembly and Hon’ble Chief Minister, Nagaland for acceding to my request for arranging a briefing of the legislators on the contents ofthe Framework agreement soon after it was signed. I am also grateful to all the Nagaland legislators for actively participating in an about four (4) hours long briefing session....I explained, at length, the contents of the framework Agreement and clarified specific queries and doubts of the legislators. The briefing session concluded only after there was no more questions from the legislators’. Unquote. What more explicit evidence I require to convince myself that the present 60MLAs have full knowledge about each clause of the Framework.

Ravi continued. Quote. ‘I also collectively invited all the Tribal Hohos and briefed them in an over four(4) hours long session on December 8, 2015 at Kohima.....I explained, bit by bit, the contents of the Framework Agreement and responded to their queries till they had no more question to ask. How can it be said that the contents are secret?’ Unquote. The Tribal Hohos headed by Naga Hoho are in the know of the contents of Framework as per Ravi ‘s disclosure.

See the differences of the reactions of Nagas in respective States. Our Naga brothers in Manipur celebrated the signing of the Framework Accord on the 3rd August 2015 evening with candle lit.

Again, they had just celebrated the one year anniversary of the same Accord. Whereas, we, the Nagas of Nagaland came to know about the same from TV news. We also had to pass off the 3rd August 2016 in usual silence.

Ravi has kicked the ball to the court of 60 MLAs. Since Ravi had disclosed everything pertaining to Framework to 60 MLAs, it is their bounden duty to share it with the electorates to whom they are accountable. A year has passed since they came to know about the

Naga nation and the will of God (From previous issue) This is an accepted political culture and a requirement in a negotiation that involves the issue of nationhood. Meaning, Naga constitution is the heart and soul of the struggling Naga nation wherein the aspirations of the Naga people is embodied with.

The Framework Agreement is to be worked out on the basis of the terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by the parties but is to be at the same time necessarily guided by their own respective constitutions. Without a separate Naga constitution, sharing of sovereign powers between the two equal entities appears to be practically quite absurd.

The Naga national identity can only exists with that of her distinct constitutional identity.

They are like head & tail of the same coin. Therefore, apart from incorporating special Naga law in the constitution of India as articulated in the media, it would be praiseworthy and a big heart on the part of India to allow Nagas to retain their own separate constitution howsoever small it is. An already incorporated Indian state like Jammu & Kashmir has her own constitution. It would be an act of mockery to deny this right to the Nagas whose unique and distinctive political history is said to have been recognized and whose territory is not incorporated as claimed. Nagas are quite hopeful to the present government.

In fact Nagas are happy to acknowledge that in the history of the post independent India one of the most charismatic, dynamic, capable, compassion-

ate and down to earth Prime Ministers in the person of Hon’ble Shri Narendra Modiji and his team have been providentially put in place to steer the country forward. We hope this government will not only work hard to make a prosperous India but it will seriously find ways to re-establish a new relation with the Nagas based on her core values of peace & non-violence. It must equally pursue to bring a momentum of the finest democracy and freedom in India where everyone would have a space to live in happily.

The Framework Agreement which recognised that sovereignty of the Nagas lies with the Naga people must be implemented in letter and spirit to bring honourable solution.

Historical experiences remind us that any solution lacking the

will of God and the aspiration of the Nagas may not be the real and lasting solution. May every Naga citizen, Naga National Political Groups (NPGs) and all other stakeholders of Naga society be benefitted out of this resolution of Indo-Naga conflict.

May it bring wider horizon of fraternity and friendship in Naga world. May it bring better understanding, enduring love and peace with our neighbours and friends. Hope, the Framework Agreement produce real, qualitative and workable solution to enable the Nagas to have their own government as a nation with the highest political association with India based on mutually agreed terms. Let us give peace a chance!

contents, and they continued to keep it as sacred and secret whereby their people are kept in suspense. In other words, it is the MLAs who are withholding the disclosure of the contents, and are therefore responsible for keeping the Nagas of Nagaland in the dark. Therefore, for DAN ministry, instead of giving blind altar call to the Nagas of Nagaland to accept or to appreciate it, disclose those contents for general consumption. The contents are required to be examined, analysed and understood collectively by those who are going to be affected directly or indirectly.

What motive the 60 MLAs have? Do they stand for the Nagas of Nagaland? Do they care for the welfare of the Nagas of Nagaland? While the present Govt is so immersed and obsessed with the Framework, the condition of Nagaland is deteriorating. Look at the protective laws of Nagaland which are abused and ignored. Look at how the established system of governance is placed in haywire. Look at the roads under your ministry. Look at the Schools and health centres. Look at the Govt. lands which are being rampantly seized by private parties.

Look at the Govt. quarters which are privatized by their occupants. Look at how the politicians and bureaucrats are competitively frantic after commissions and kickbacks against every project and deduction of percentage of salary of poor employees.

Look at the plight of your employees who are not getting salary for months together. Look at how you have reduced the only investigative authority in Nagaland as Vigilance Commission to a mere show piece.

The list can go on.

The business beyond academic interest is: I was one of the delegates of NTC to meet Ravi at 6 pm at Japfu Hotel, Kohima on 8th December, 2015 which lasted for two hours. The principle message we conveyed to Ravi was to have inclusive negotiation for the sake of lasting peace. And therefore when we asked for inclusion of all NNPGs and stakeholders in the negotiation, the only response from him was that when the agreement with NSCN(IM) is finalised it will be disclosed to public. Such is nothing but imposition which is not acceptable.

What I understand and believe the negotiation in question is, the Nagas of Nagaland, being the pioneers of Naga National Movement and have been spearheading the struggle as rightly and factually asserted by NTC, should not have become the second fiddle and forced to accept the subservient role. The Nagas of Nagaland are not supposed to become so helpless and implores upon the negotiating parties to share what is in the offing brewed in camera while the chief stakeholder is locked out of the room as unwanted. We have been fighting as equal partners and should be treated so in negotiation too. Rather, the Nagas of Nagaland deserve to play the reversed role as per the sacrifices invested.

Whoever becomes or is the Chief Minister of Nagaland, his priority isthe welfare of the citizens of Nagaland. Whereas, at a very given opportunity, the Chief Minister talks about the importance of Framework as if the rests on ground are ok. As much as the CM tries to give attention to Framework, equal importance should be given to the welfare of the people of Nagaland.

The Framework’s importance depends on the merits of the contents which he knows. Therefore, convince the Nagas of Nagaland that by any clause of the Framework, the status of the State will be enhanced beyond Art 371(A).

Rather than playing hide and seek game, better become transparent and make the task at hand to be a collective responsibility so as to have the end result acceptable to all.

Reader’s Post Nagaland need prayers Sir,

Everybody will hear of war and rumour of war.

Nations will rise against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. There will be “famine” and terrible earthquakes in various places and water will flood the earth, terrible cyclone. This happened recently in Nepal where many people were killed and the same tremor was felt in Nagaland. People cry to God to save them, running to and fro with much excitement while believers silently pray to Almighty God. God said, “call upon me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you and you will glorify me (Psalm 50:15).

This is absolutely true, as I have got experience on several occasions. In the last days perilous time shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemous, disobedient, unthankful without natural affection, troublemakers, false accusers. Nagaland need prayers for a new blessing from God. Rikhyo Kikon Lotha, Pensioner NCS

Govt launches survey to assess SBM progress

M. Venkaiah Naidu

He addressed, via video conferencing, the Mayors, Municipal Chairpersons, Municipal Commissioners and other officials of the cities and towns to be surveyed.

He said cities will be ranked based on the reports by urban local bodies on the progress made towards construction of toilets, feedback of citizens and independent observation of sanitation levels.

Since the launch of the Swachh Bharat Mission in October 2014, construction of 21 lakh household toilets has been completed and construction of another 21 lakh toilets is in progress, Naidu said.

The mission target in this regard is construction of 1.04 crore toilets by 2019.

Naidu launched a Swachhta mobile app and Swachhta helpline (1969) to enable citizens to participate

more effectively and actively in the Swachh Bharat Mission in urban areas.

Citizens can post photos of unhygienic places in urban areas on Swachh App and they will be informed of action taken by the respective urban local bodies in a specific time period.

Using toll free helpline number 1969, citizens can seek information about the ways of participating in the cleanliness mission and can also enquire about the status of their applications for construction of toilets.

The minister also launched ‘Asli Tarakki’ campaign highlighting the need for construction of toilets and using them.

Naidu felicitated three sanitation workers for their exemplary contribution to ensure cleanliness in their respective cities.

They are T. Venkataiah, a garbage collector of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, for working without taking any leave for 16 years; N. Gaurav of Guwahati Municipal Corporation for a similar commitment; and B. Nagaraj of Coimbatore Municipal Corporation for his sincerity to the cause and contributing Rs 50,000 for the education of poor children.

The Quality Council of India, which conducted the last survey in 73 cities, will conduct the survey in 500 cities and towns.

Andhra Minorities Commission campaign against IS other, he said, “If they don’t stay out of Muslim world it will cost them dearly tomorrow”. Eminent lawyer Shafeeq Mohajir said the manner in which IS has rapidly spread to large area of world and waging war against established armies leaves no one in doubt that there are governments behind this phenomenon. He said the sense of persecution and injustice may draw youth towards such outfits. He said the administration should address the sense of injustice and inequality.

pathiser had informed investigators that while he and three other IS sympathisers were in Iraq in early 2014, they had asked their IS handler for some money to go to Syria, following which Al-Enezi sent $ 1,000 to them from Kuwait.

“The NIA had earlier sent a mutual legal assistance request to Kuwait in the Areeb Majeed case in respect of transfer of $1,000 by Kuwaiti national Al-Enezi to him,” the NIA officer said.

The officer said that Kuwait authorities have now arrested Al-Enezi, who has revealed that he had sent the $1,000 to Majeed through Western Union which was later used by him and his three associates to facilitate their travel to Syria.

Al-Enezi informed Kuwaiti authorities that he has been involved in financing of terrorism after his return from Pakistan in 2013, the officer said. He also supported terrorist organisations.

JALUKIE, AUG 6 (NPN): With the inaugural of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) or Agriculture Science Centre in Peren, Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang on Saturday urged upon all to make best possible use of KVK, saying “there should be a people’s movement as KVK was meant not only for the technical people but it involves every individual”.

Addressing the farmers fair cum exhibition programme held Jalukie organised by ICAR, Nagaland Centre Jharnapani Medziphema, Zeliang appealed to the gathering to be prepared to learn from KVK officials and at the same time to change the mindset by inculcating the habit of work culture.

He also appealed all, particularly farmers to work together with KVK officials

in order to make Nagaland an economically independent state.

Zeliang also noted that Nagaland was becoming more dependent on import of meat for domestic consumption. For this, the chief minster informed that the Veterinary & Animal Husbandry department launched a major effort to increase domestic meat production to reduce the dependency on meat import.

He said it was estimated that the state’s import of meat, milk and eggs still stands at around Rs. 213 crore per year, out of which import of pork was the highest.

Veterinary and Animal Husbandry, parliamentary secretary, S. Chuba Longkumer who graced the occasion as guest of honor lauded ICAR authority for imparting the latest know-how to farmers through work experience and by applying the principles

“Governments have to change themselves. Procedures should be simplified and the system has to be made flawless,” he added, saying that NDA government was in the process of making things like securing a licence or getting the original papers verified simple.

Answering a query on India’s foreign policy under his government, he said it is based on “India first” concept.

On the condition of the Indian economy, Modi said that it was growing well at 7.5 percent but India needs stable growth for at least the next 30 years.

“Our economic development should be constant. It should not be fluctuating,” he said, adding that if India is able to ensure growth at the rate of 8 percent per annum,” every good thing of the world would be available to its people.

N E W D E L H I , AU G 6 (IANS): Terming “participatory democracy” the need of the hour for India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that governance suffers when people don’t do their duty and hold others responsible for their failures.

He also said that governments in India must have a good grievance redressal system as it will strengthen democracy in the country.

“Governance suffers when people don’t do their duties. They would hold others responsible for the work that they should be doing,” the Prime Minister said while addressing a Town Hall-style event organised here to mark the second anniversary of MyGov platform.

“Participatory democracy is needed in a country like ours and technology has made it possible,” he said.

ling youth arrested for allegedly trying to join IS. Omer Jaleel, Secretary (minorities’ welfare) of Telangana government, said the time had come for every Muslim to stand up and be counted against IS. He said IS had nothing Islamic about it. “Its acts of killing and burning people and committing other barbaric acts have nothing to do with Islam,” he said.

Jaleel said ‘Islamic State’ is a misnomer given that Islam means peace and tranquillity.

“It should be called just a terrorist group,” he said.

Mohammed Ali Rafath, a former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, described IS as a global conspiracy to put Islam and Muslims on the defensive.

He said IS was the product of the same forces that put up Osama Bin Laden and AlQaeda in Afghanistan.

“By doing this, these powers have achieved their objective of diverting world’s attention from their atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine,” he said.

Rafath said IS was part of the larger conspiracy by the capitalist and imperialist forces who want to grab precious resources of the region.

N E W D E L H I , AU G 6 (IANS): A 32-year-old man who allegedly funded Islamic State (IS) sympathisers in India has been arrested in Kuwait, based on a tip off by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), an officer said on Saturday.

An NIA officer told IANS that Abdullah Hadi Abdul Rahman Al-Enezi was arrested by Kuwait authorities for sending $1,000 to alleged IS recruit Areeb Majeed and his three associates while they were staying in Iraq in May 2014.

Majeed, a resident of Panvel in Maharashtra, left Mumbai along with four friends on May 24, 2014. He returned in November that year and has been in custody since. He is being prosecuted for several offences.

Majeed, a civil engineer by training, was the first Indian graduate from terror group IS’ training school as a fidayeen or suicide bomber.

HYDERABAD, AUG 6 (IANS): The Minorities Commission of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh on Saturday launched a campaign against Islamic State (IS) by roping in imams of mosques to create awareness among Muslim youth about the terrorist organisation.

The campaign, said to be the first by any state minorities commission in the country, comes in the wake of recent arrests of seven Muslim youth in Hyderabad, allegedly owing allegiance to the IS. The commission launched the campaign with a seminar on ‘ISIS - Interpreting reality’ here on Saturday. Speakers including intellectuals, religious scholars, bureaucrats, lawyers and activists made suggestions to wean away youth from the ideology of the terror outfit.

The commission’s Chairman Abid Rasool Khan said the ‘imams’ during their sermons next Friday will speak on the dangers posed by IS and to warn Muslim youth against falling into its trap.

The speakers said that IS had nothing to do with Islam and that its activities were in fact damaging Islam and Muslims across the world. They advised youth not to allow themselves to be misled by the propaganda of the terror group on social media.

The speakers suggested setting up a body for counsel-

N E W D E L H I , AU G 6 (IANS): Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday launched a survey here to assess and rank cities and towns based on levels of sanitation and efforts made by the urban local bodies.

The Swachh Survekshan 2017 is the second survey since the launch of the Swachh Bharat Mission in October 2014.

“While the last round of survey was conducted among 73 cities with a population of 10 lakh and above each, this second round of survey will cover 500 cities and towns,” Naidu said.

The survey will include urban areas with a population of one lakh and above each, capital towns with less than one lakh population, and towns of importance from the point of view of heritage, tourism and hilly locations, etc.

Naidu said since the first Swachh Survekshan Survey, 115 cities have become open defecation-free (ODF) and another 793 cities and towns are set to become so by March next year. Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala are expected to become ODF by March, 2017.

The minister released various publications and mobile applications to help the 500 cities and towns prepare for the survey to be conducted in January next year.

The Lok Sabha is also likely to consider the amendments made by the Rajya Sabha in the Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2016 and the Mental Health Care Bill, 2013.

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has issued a whip asking its members to be present in the house on Monday in view of the GST bill being taken up for consideration.

Modi, who was under attack by the Opposition parties, especially the Congress for his absence during the passage of the Constitution amendment bill for GST in the Rajya Sabha on August 3, is now likely to intervene in the Lok Sabha, sources said.

The Rajya Sabha passing the GST bill -- the first step in reforming India’s tax laws -boosted investors’ sentiments, which was supported by the Bank of England’s decision to reduce key lending rates by 25 basis points to 0.25 per cent.

“A firm close last week not only signals that markets have in principle acknowledged that there is an emerging consensus, but the recent correction has also allowed to ease the ‘rich’ valuation feeling,” Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services, told IANS.

(IANS): The government is likely to move the amended Goods and Services Tax (GST) bill in the Lok Sabha for passage on Monday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi likely to intervene in the debate.

The gover nment has listed the bill for next week’s legislative business in the lower house along with other important bills.

During the forthcoming week, the lower House will also take up the Central Agricultural University (Amendment) Bill, the Employee’s Compensation (Amendment) Bill, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2016, the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, and the High Courts (Alteration of Names)

The positive cues were negated by a mid-week correction. Further, the key indices were dragged down by profit booking, lower crude oil prices, uncertainty on macroeconomic data and the risks to two global events.

US not involved in Turkey coup attempt: John Bass Istanbul, Aug 6 (AFP): The United States’ ambassador to Turkey has again said his country played no rule in last month’s failed coup attempt, showing exasperation with persistent accusations to the contrary, local media reported today.

“I just want to say again, as I’ve said before and as we’ve said from Washington, the United States government did not plan, direct, support or have any advance knowledge of any of the illegal activities that occurred the night of July 15 and into July 16. Full stop,” US ambassador John Bass said in remarks published in English daily Hurriyet Daily News.

He added that he was “deeply disturbed and offended by the accusations” targeting his country.

The July 15 military action blamed by Ankara on USbased Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen has rattled Turkey’s relations with the US, with Ankara warning Washington that ties will suffer if it fails to extradite Pennyslvania-based Gulen.

Erdogan has also described the failed military action as a “scenario written from outside” in an allusion to foreign involvement.

John Bass Shortly after the coup attempt, Labour Minister Suleyman Soylu went even further to say “the United States is behind the coup.”

And this week, Turkey’s former army chief, Ilker Basbug, claimed that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was also behind it.

Bass on July 18 rebutted claims his country supported the putsch as “untrue” and “harmful.”

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim today chaired a security summit of justice, foreign, interior and defence ministers as well as army chief of staff Hulusi Akar and spy chief Hakan Fidan.

Erdogan’s government

is readying for a “Democracy and Martyrs” rally in Istanbul’s Yenikapi square tomorrow, which hundreds of thousands of people are expected to join.

Other rallies will also be held across the country.

The main Istanbul rally, set to be attended by opposition leaders save for those from Kurdish parties, will be the last of a series held daily since people first took to the streets to answer Erdogan’s appeal for support immediately following the coup.

Meanwhile, a US citizen of Turkish origin was arrested in southern Hatay province as part of a probe into the failed coup, state-run Anadolu news agency reported yesterday, quoting a local governor.

Acting on a tip-off that he was a member of Gulen movement, police detained 36-year-old Serkan Golge, who said he was visiting his family in Hatay, governor Ercan Topaca said. He was later remanded in custody by a local court.

A German national has also been caught up in the purge, Berlin said yesterday, after books were found at her home suggesting she had links with the Gulen movement or was a member of it.

Hindu doctor killed in Karachi Karachi, Aug 6 (PTI): A 56-year-old Hindu doctor has been fatally shot outside his clinic in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi, in what is being described as a “religiously motivated murder”.

Dr Pireetam Lakhwani, a resident of Garden East, was shot once in his chest near Bara Road in Pak Colony on Thursday.

Lakhwani was rushed to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital and later shifted to Aga Khan University Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries yesterday.

“He was returning home from his clinic when he came under attack,” Lakhwani’s son Rakesh Kumar was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune.

“Someone called me from my father’s cellphone and informed me that he has been killed,” said Kumar.

The victim’s son said that his father neither had any personal enmity nor had he received any threats.

He had been running the clinic for the past 15 years. The police is yet to determine the motive behind the murder.

The doctor’s clinic was located in a residential area and the incident occurred when there was a power failure in the locality. It is yet to be ascertained who was behind the attack, said police, which believe it was a targeted killing.

Taliban hold Pak chopper crew hostage

Dera Ismail Khan, Aug 6 (AP): The crew of a Pakistani helicopter that crashed in a lawless region of Afghanistan is being held by insurgents, an Afghan official and a Pakistani Taliban commander said today.

The crash took place late last night and authorities on both sides of the border reported it, saying it had come down in territory controlled by insurgents. It was unclear why the helicopter strayed into Afghan territory.

Hamidullah Hamid, governor of the Azra district in Afghanistan’s Logar province, said all seven people aboard the MI-17 chopper had been detained by the Taliban.

China’s fighter jets ‘inspect’ airspace over SCS islands Beijing, Aug 6 (PTI): China’s long-range bombers and fighter jets have “inspected” the airspace over the disputed South China Sea islands in a fresh bid to assert its sovereignty over the area after an international tribunal last month struck down Beijing’s claims.

Chinese Air Force aircraft, including several H-6 long bombers and Su-30 aircraft, have inspected the airspace around the Nansha (Spratly) and Huangyan (Scarborough Shoal) islands in the South China Sea, a Chinese air force spokesperson said.

The flight is part of actual combat training to improve the Air Force’s response to security threats, Senior Colonel Shen Jinke of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force was quoted as saying by the state-run Xinhua news agency.

helicopter crashed and burst into flames.

However, a local Taliban commander said there were only six people in the crew and that his faction was holding them.

The discrepancies in the crew numbers could not immediately be reconciled.

Qari Saifullah Saif, a commander of the Tahrik-eTaliban Pakistan as the Pakistani Taliban are known, said the crew are in “safe hands” of the local TTP commander, Adam Kochi, in neighboring Afghanistan’s Logar province.

The airmen had been taken to a “safe location” by the TTP to avoid any attacks by Afghan forces or the Afghan Taliban faction. One of the pilots was

critically injured in the crash, Saif said, adding that the crew allegedly also includes men from Pakistan’s secret service.

While the Taliban were taking the crew captive, their positions were shelled by aircraft, which killed one and wounded two of their fighters, Saif also said.

Pakistani officials also said there were only six crew members on board after one backed out of the flight at the last minute. Pakistani army spokesman Lt. Gen. Asim Bajwa said the Russian-made chopper was being flown to Russia via Uzbekistan for maintenance.

The crew also included a Russian navigator while the rest are retired army officers serving on civilian aircraft.

Beirut, Aug 6 (AFP): Jihadists and rebels captured strategic military positions on the edges of Syria’s second city Aleppo today, turning the tables on Russian-backed regime forces besieging the city.

To the northeast, a Western-backed alliance of Arab and Kurdish fighters scored a major victory against the Islamic State group in the town of Manbij after a fierce two-month battle.

The developments have rocked the key northern province of Aleppo, a microcosm of Syria’s topsy-turvy, multifront war that has killed more than 280,000 people.

Rebel and regime forces have fought for control of the provincial capital of the same name since mid-2012, transforming the former economic powerhouse into a divided, bombed-out city.

“Days ago, I was only thinking about how to get a bite to eat,” said Ahmad Adna, a 46-year-old resident of eastern Aleppo.

“Now I’m more optimistic after the Army of Conquest’s advance. I hope today will be the last day of the siege.”

The former Al-Nusra Front - renamed Jabhat Fateh al-Sham after breaking from Al-Qaeda - today announced having captured the two military academies and a third military position.

Drone footage posted by the group online showed a series of explosions in some of those buildings, followed by massive columns of billowing black smoke.

Pictures obtained by AFP show a crumpled body, reportedly of a regime fighter, laying next to artillery weapons lined up in a building newly captured by jihadists.

captured territory south of Aleppo in a bid to cut off regime forces and open up a new route into besieged rebelheld districts.

“The Army of Conquest... took control of the armament school, where there is a large amount of ammunitions, and a large part of the artillery school” at a military academy, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The coalition of rebels, Islamists, and jihadists “is about to cut off, by gunfire, the supply route into government-controlled districts,” said Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman.

That road passes through a southwestern suburb of Ramussa and is the last route into Aleppo used by regime troops.

Opposition forces - encircled by the government since July 17 - are hoping to expand their control in the area and use that route

Beirut, Aug 6 (AFP): More than 500 rebels and government forces have been killed in one week of fierce fighting to control the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, a monitor said today.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights could not give a specific toll, but said the majority of those killed since July 31 were rebels and jihadists “because of the aerial superiority of the regime and intense Russian air strikes”.

Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said at least 130 civilians had also been killed since Sunday, most in rebel shelling of governmentcontrolled districts.

He said at least seven civilians were killed today in rebel shelling of the regimeheld neighbourhood of Hamdaniyeh.

Regime forces today struggled to push back a powerful assault on military positions south of the battleground city.

The offensive has brought together rebels, Islamists and jihadists in an attempt to cut off a regime route into Aleppo and break the government siege of eastern districts.

Abdel Rahman said the advance left the regime forces “in a very difficult position despite Russian air support”.

Rouen (France), Aug 6 (AFP): A fire apparently sparked by birthday cake candles tore through a bar in northern France early today, killing at least 13 people in the nation’s deadliest blaze in a decade.

Through the shattered front windows of the bar in Rouen melted stools and scorched liquor bottles were visible, as tearful mourners hugged each other and brought flowers to the scene of the tragedy.

Most of the dead were between 18-25 years old, with one person among the six injured still fighting for their lives. Authorities said the bar was crowded with young partygoers.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls expressed “deep sadness at the tragedy that claimed 13 young lives.”

Local prosecutors described the blaze as accidental, but an investigation is underway to pinpoint the cause of the flames.

“There wasn’t an explosion, it was candles used for a birthday party,” a senior police official told AFP. The flames ignited the polystyrene ceiling of the basement room where the celebrations were taking place, putting off a toxic mix of gasses that poisoned the victims, police said.

The blaze started at around midnight at the Au

Milner announces England retirement

James Milner London, Aug 6 (Agencies): Liverpool midfielder James Milner has retired from England duty, the Football Association (FA) has announced.

The 30-year-old, who made his debut in 2009, is eager to spend more time with his young family, new England head coach Sam Al-

lardyce said.

Milner explained that the decision was “common sense” after holding talks with Allardyce over his international future this week.

“I would like to thank Sam for taking the time to come and see me in person and have the conversation face-to-face, regarding my

international future and role within the England set-up,” Milner told the FA’s official website.

“I think the decision we have reached is all about common sense. I wish Sam, the players, staff and supporters success in the future.”

Allardyce feels Milner can be proud of the contribution he has made to England, having been part of the squad at two World Cups and two European Championships.

“James has had the chance to reflect on his international career in recent months and consider his next steps, particularly with a young family at home and having allowed himself little free time away from the professional game in the past 15 years,” he said.

“After we had a lengthy conversation with him earlier this week, he has decided to take a step back from international duty; a decision I fully respect.

“James can be proud of his seven-year career as a senior England player and has never let his country down when called upon. His club career, already glittering, has many years ahead and we wish him well with Liverpool this season and beyond.”

Milner has, however, told Allardyce that he would be willing to return to international duty should a specific need arise.

“In what is the mark of a true professional, James is a proud Englishman and has acknowledged that he would be prepared to step up again if I ever needed him to play a specific role of importance within my team,” Allardyce said.

India’s women archery seventh in ranking round RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 6 (PTI): Deepika Kumari once again faltered under pressure to miss a target as India’s medal hope in the women’s team event received a big blow by finishing a lowly seventh in the archery ranking round of the Rio Olympic Games here on Friday.

Hours after Atanu Das+ impressed on his Olympic debut by finishing a creditable fifth in the individual section, India’s star archer Deepika put up one of her most inconsistent displays to finish a poor 20th with a score of 640 out of 720.

In her third Olympics, senior archer Bombayla Devi Laishram shot 638 to finish 24th while Laxmirani Majhi finished a lowly 43rd with 614 points.

Eyeing their eighth gold from as many editions, Koreans lived up to their reputation with Choi Misun, Chang Hye Jin and Ki Bo Bae making it top three. The three women archers’ wayward performance will affect their medal prospects in the team event where they got a ranking of seventh and open their campaign against Colombia who were ranked 10th.

If they manage to advance, India may face second ranked Russia and third ranked China in their prospective quarters and semifinal clashes. The double Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Deepika, led by one point after 30 arrows only to slip in the sixth end when she shot a poor 49 with scores of 9,9,8,8,8,7.

The worst happened in the last arrow of the seventh end when she drew a blank by completely missing the target.

Deepika raised her game from the next five ends by securing 13 perfect 10s from 30 arrows but it could only raise her ranking up to 20.

Isinbayeva claims discrimination by Olympic officials

Elena Isinbayeva Moscow, Aug 6 (IANS): Russia’s two-time Olympic pole-vaulting champion Elena Isinbayeva has claimed that she will not give up training as long as there is any chance that she can take part in the Rio Olympics.

In November 2015, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accused Russia of violating anti-doping rules and recommended that the Interna-

tional Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the sports governing body, eliminate all Russian athletes from participating in all contests under its aegis, including the Olympic Games.

The IAAF followed the recommendation, voting to remove the All-Russia Athletic Federation (ARAF) from participation denting Isinbayeva’s hopes of participation.

On July 21, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected an appeal from 68 Russian athletes and the Olympic Committee of Russia.

Subsequently, the Russian national team was removed from participation in the Rio Olympics.

On Friday, Isinbayeva made a statement through her Twitter account, suggesting that the true motive for her elimination is her training in Russia.

“WADA and IOC don’t have reservations about me,” she said. “IAAF also has no claims against me regarding the doping issue. I’m clean and honest here. My entire career speaks to that. The only obstacle that keeps me from competing at the Olympics is the fact that for the past two years I have been living and training in Russia.”

Born in Volgograd, the athlete called the situation in which she has found herself “absurd,” as foreign athletes can train in their homelands, and as she would have to to “leave her country, family and coach” to receive permission to

Nagaland Post, Dimapur sunday, august 7, 2016

compete in the Olympics.

Isinbayeva also noted that Russian long-jumper athlete Daria Klishina can take part in the games in Rio, as “she has lived in America for three years.”

“There’s still no clarity on this issue, there are no answers. I don’t stop training, in hope that this injustice will end soon,” she wrote on her Instagram page, calling the media to help her “to dig down the truth and ask IAAF chief Sebastian Coe the reason,” for her removal from competition.

Rio Olympics begins with colourful ceremony

Nagaland Post, Dimapur sunday, august 7, 2016

Paes-Bopanna beaten in first round Rio de Janeiro, Aug 6 (IANS): India’s men’s tennis doubles pair of Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna went down 4-6, 6-7 (6) against Poland’s Lukasz Kubot and Marcin Matkowski in their first round match here on Saturday. Paes-Bopanna surrendered the first set in 32 minutes at the Olympic Tennis Centre and the second set in 52 minutes. It was Paes’ record-setting seventh Olympic appearance, which ended on a disappointing note for the veteran player. Paes-Bopanna converted both break points received but gave away seven break points in the first set.

Kubot-Matkowski won three of the seven break points received to win the first set 6-4. The Indian pair committed 18 unforced errors in comparison to 10 by their opponents in the first set.

The second set was closely contested with both teams retaining their serves to stretch it to a tie-breaker. But ultimately the Indian pair went down fighting 8-6 in the tie-breaker to bow out in 1 hour 24 minutes. They won only 59 of the total 132 points played in the match.

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 6 (IANS): The 31st Olympics, the first to be held in South America, formally opened on Friday with a sparkling ceremony drawn from Brazil’s vibrantly diverse culture and dedicated to its history and the environment and followed by a colourful procession of the world’s leading athletes, many in traditional garb, at the Macarana stadium here.

The huge statue of Christ the Redeemer, that dominates the skyline of the Brazilian capital and where the Olympic torch was lit at dawn, was specially lit up ahead of the opening ceremony starting at 8 p.m. local time (4.30 a.m.

IST).

However, legendar y footballer Pele, who was widely expected to light the Olym-

pic cauldron, pulled out a few hours before due to ill-health.

The ceremony, which has famed Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles, known for crime drama “City of God”, Andrucha Washington and Daniela Thomas as creative directors, started with thousands of performers entering the arena with sheets of metallic paper, quickly transformed into a sort of “pillow” and struck hard to create a beat that resounded through the stadium.

The Brazilian national anthem “Hino Nacional Brasileiro” was then rendered by the gentled-voiced sambista Paulinho da Viola, accompanied by a string orchestra.

A panoramic depiction of Brazil’s history, including its slave trade past, followed

before a unique homage to Alberto Santos-Dumont, who is, in Brazil, credited with inventing the first aeroplane and taking the first flight instead of the Wright Brothers, as a light plane flew inside the stadium before taking off into the night sky across a celebrating city.

But the high point was in rendition of the late Tom Jobim’s legendary “The Girl from Ipanema”, performed by his grandson Daniel as supermodel and national icon Gisele Bundchen, clad in a long sleeved, gold-sequin spangled dress, sashayed across on her most ambitious catwalk across the stadium.

And her trail, formed into the contours of iconic works

by Brazil’s greatest architect, Oscar Niemeyer.

Other star performers

included the legendary samba singer Elza Soares, and hiphop proponents Karol Conka and the 12-year-old M.C. Soffia (hip hop), all representing Brazil’s black community too.

Also captivating was 21year-old funk sensation Ludmilla, who rendered “Rap da Felicidade” (Happiness Rap) as the slick box set was rendered into the “favela” (slum), while 13-year-old Cristian do Passinho displayed nimble footwork of “Passinho” - the latest Rio dance craze.

The hour-long cultural fiesta, capped by a spectacular display of fireworks, led to the Parade of the Nations, or the march past of the participating contingents, comprising 207 including Kosovo and South Sudan who are making

rest but Bhokanal maintained his third position although he was more than 13 seconds behind the second placed Cabrera.

Even as there was some rejoicing in the Indian camp over the army rower’s performance, there were setbacks from the shooting range, which provided the country with two medals in the 2012 London Games, with the elimination of the two women shooters.

Chandela shot an overall 411.6 to finish 34th out 51 competitors while Paul finished further down in 47th place with a total score of 403 in the 10m air rifle event in which China’s Li Du set a new Olympic record of 420.7 to top the qualification stage.

The expectations for a better show from the Indian duo of Chandela and Paul, who had won the gold and silver in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, were dashed as they were found wanting in a top-class field.

Around 70 athletes and 24 officials are expected to attend the march-past to be held during the opening ceremony scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. on Friday evening Rio time (4.30 a.m. on Saturday India time).

Sri Lanka’s team members acknowledges the crowd as they celebrate their victory over Australia by 229 runs in the second test cricket match in Galle, Sri Lanka, Saturday. (AP/PTI) Galle, Aug 6 (Agencies): Off-spinner Dilruwan Perera bagged six wickets to fashion Sri Lanka’s historic series win over Australia Saturday as the world number one side suffered a humiliating 229-run loss inside three days in the second Test in Galle.

Australia, chasing a challenging 413 for victory, were bundled out for 183 after lunch as Sri Lanka, who won their last series against the visitors in 1999, took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the threematch rubber.

Veteran spinner Rangana Herath set up the win for the hosts with his maiden Test hat-trick which helped dismiss Australia for a record low of 106 in their first innings.

Australia faltered in their second outing as well after Perera, who registered his career-best figures of 6-70, sent the visitors packing in just 50.1 overs as the Sri Lankan players went into a celebratory huddle.

Overnight batsmen David Warner and skipper Steven Smith offered some resistance with their 51-run fourth wicket partnership but both of them fell to Perera’s guile.

Warner, who tried to counter attack during his 31ball 41, was trapped lbw off a straighter Perera delivery that hit the batsman on the front pad. Smith (30), who used his feet well against the spinners during his 58-ball stay, was the next to go as he gave away a

Rower Bhokanal in quarters; women shooters flop Rio de Janeiro, Aug 6 (PTI): India had a mixed morning on day one of competitions in the Rio Olympics here as rower Dattu Baban Bhokanal entered the quarterfinals in men’s single sculls while shooters Ayonika Paul and Apurvi Chandela put up a flop show to crash out of the 10m air rifle final.

The day’s proceedings started on a promising note when 25-year-old Pune-based armyman Bhokanal ended up third in the first heat of the day by finishing the 2000m race in 7 minutes, 21.67 seconds behind Angel Fournier Rodriguez of Cuba (7:06.89) and Mexico’s Juan Carlos Cabrera (7:08.27).

Bhokanal, who had qualified for the Games with a silver medal finish in the Asia-Oceania qualifier, was in second place for the first 500 metres of the race but started to lag behind once the Mexican in lane 2 picked up the pace around the 700 metres mark.

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 5 (IANS): The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has announced a prize of Rs 50 lakh for every gold medal winner, Rs 30 lakh for silver and Rs 20 lakh for bronze among the Indian participants at the 31st Olympic Games commencing on Friday evening.

This is the first time that IOA has announced such a prize in any Olympic Games.

The coach of the winner would be given half the prize.

A medallist’s coach would thus stand to gain Rs 25 lakh, Rs 15 lakh and Rs 10 lakh, respectively.

This is apart from whatever honour or purse the central or state government bestows upon an Indian medal winner.

With less than three minutes left in the second quarter, Rupinder Pal Singh put India up 2-0 with a thundering penalty corner strike. Ireland pulled things back in the last minute of the third quarter with a goal from John Jermyn, but their celebrations were short lived as Rupinder scored again with another stunning PC strike. With five minutes to go, Ireland reduced the deficit to one goal thanks to Conor Harte.

As the clock ticked down, India staved off Ireland’s charge to emerge winners. Clubbed with Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Argentina and Canada in Group B, the Indian men’s team will next play Germany on Monday. India is the most successful country in men’s Olympic hockey, having won eight gold medals, but they have not reached the podium since the Moscow 1980 Games.

St. Lucia, Aug 6 (IANS): Two time World T20 winning skipper Darren Sammy has been sacked as West Indies captain ahead of the two-match series against India, later this month in Florida. Sammy, who recently guided the Caribbean side to the T20 title for the second time, posted a video message on Facebook informing about his axing as the captain.

“I got a call yesterday morning, it was probably 30 seconds, from the chairman of selectors telling me that they’ve reviewed the captaincy of T20 and I won’t be captain anymore of the T20 team, (and) my performances have not merited selection in the squad,” the 32year-old said in the video.

“That’s okay, I’ve always believed West Indies cricket is not about Darren Sammy. They are looking to the future and I wanna wish the new captain - I don’t know if it’s out yet so I won’t call any names - all the best as he looks to lead West Indies cricket and take it forward.” “Obviously, throughout my captaincy, winning the two T20 World Cups has been the highlight. And these memories I will cherish for a long time,” he added. Sammy, whose St. Lucia Zouks team lost the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) final to Trinbago Knight Riders, however, made it clear that he was not announcing his retirement from the shorter formats of the game.
