Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, DEC 9 (NPN): A joint team of ACAUT and C joint team of ACAUT and Concerned Citizens of Nagaland (CCN) on Friday unearthed a multi crore Public Distribution System (PDS) rice scam at Dimapur.

When the joint team reported its finding to the Village council of the area and upon inspection, a Joint Action Committee (JAC) consisting of ten colonies/ village councils, sealed the two godwons-- R.Z. Lotha Godown at Kevijau Colony and M/s Lotha Trading Company at Lhomiti colony. The committee also demanded thorough investigation to bring the matter to a logical conclusion.

According to ACAUT, the godowns belonged to Tinku and Nirmal Jain, from where PDS items were allegedly sold off to various mills and in open market.

In a joint statement, the members of the committee from - Kevijau colony, Thahekhu village, Signal Angami, Lhomithi colony, Naga Goan, Sematilla, Metha colony, Sangtamtilla and Y.Zhimo colony - alleged that the two godwons

NPF hits back at NPCC’s statement DIMAPUR, DEC 9 (NPN): Reacting to NPCC’s statement for hitting out at the NPF-led DAN government over the declaration of December 25 as “Good Governance Day”, NPF through its media & press bureau reminded that the party had deliberated the very agenda threadbare and also adopted a resolution at the NPF Central Executive Council (CEC) meeting held on Nov. 29, 2016, registering its unhappiness and disapproving December 25 as “Good Governance Day” as declared by the central government.

Rather, NPF in a press note said NPCC appeared to have been left with no other agenda of value to present to the people of Nagaland, other than to beat around blindly, accusing the NPFled DAN government.

NPF said NPCC should not worry as most of the issues raised by them in the local media have “all been taken care of and pursued by the present government” Meanwhile, reacting to Z. Lohe’s statement on the “BJP-NPF relationship”, NPF said it could only advice Z. Lohe to mind for his party since he was already in the Nagaland Congress.

This is it!

“After having to queue up for cash now each note is suspected to be fake.”

Actual PDS rice item in jute bags (behind) and the re-packed rice in white synthetic bags.

were siphoning PDS rice after repacking in synthetic bags and sold it in open market and mills.

During inspection, it was also found that rice, a PDS item, was being repackaged in thousands of white synthetic bags for disposal.

According to one of the employees, the bags of rice were sent to 16 mills in Dimapur from and polished before being pumped into the market.

In this connection, ACAUT Nagaland has filed an FIR at Sub-Urban police station against Tinku and Nirmal Jain, and department of Food & Civil Supplies for allowing both the firms to operate godowns in private establishments other than

the designated FCI godowns.

In the FIR, ACAUT alleged that inside the M/S Lotha Trading Company about 500 bags of FCI rice in white synthetic bags and about 3,500 bags in “gunny bags” were found, and in R.Z.Lotha Godown 3, 500 bags in synthetic bags and 18,500 in jute gunny bags.

ACAUT claimed that rice meant for PDS beneficiaries was never supplied in white synthetic bags but in jute gunny bags only.

Further, ACAUT demanded that the investigating agency should conduct a thorough probe since the racket has been going on for the last decade.

Meanwhile, ACAUT in a press note pointed out

that the gowdowns—“R.Z. Lotha Godown in Kevijau colony and M/s Lotha Trading company, located at Lhomiti colony actually belonged to Mr. Tinku and Mr. Nirmal Jain”.

“The in-charges of the Godowns at the time of the visit told the ACAUT team that both the Godowns actually belong to Mr. Tinku and Mr. Nirmal Jain. They also disclosed that the rice was being sold off to different mills and the open market,” ACAUT stated.

ACAUT said, despite the claims made by F&CS that the department was doing everything to ensure fair distribution of PDS items to the people of Nagaland under the Food Security Act

(FSA), the reality was shockingly otherwise.

As soon as the matter was reported to village councils of the area, ACAUT said upon inspection, 13 villages “unilaterally decided to seal off the Godown” until thorough investigations were carried out.

I n t h e g owd ow n s, ACAUT said rice (PDS item) were being packed and kept ready in 1000s of white synthetic bags for disposal. Soon after the discovery, ACAUT said the team informed the Sub-Urban Police Station for necessary action.

ACAUT further stated that the team was informed by the Food Corporation of India (FCI) manager, that the “FCI never supplies rice in synthetic bags but in jute bags”.

This revelation, ACAUT said, has made it clear that the thousands of synthetic rice bags foundapproximately 3500 bags in all- were PDS items meant for the poor people to be disposed off to the open market and mills. Since the racket has been going on for the last decade, ACAUT asserted that a thorough probe would reveal the true picture.

Gov asks state govt to form ACAUT backs Governor’s Human Rights Commission stand against corruption DIMAPUR, DEC 9 (NPN): Nagaland Governor P.B. Acharya on the occasion of Human Rights Day has asked the State government to expedite and form Human Rights Commission as per the constitutional provision.

In his message to the people of Nagaland, Acharya also appealed to all stake holders to come forward and hold discussion on the issues of human rights through political conferences, meetings, exhibitions, cultural events, debates, etc.

He also suggested disseminating public awareness through various social media, posters, music, drama, dance, fine art etc to let the people know their rights. He further encouraged vulnerable group such as women, minorities, youth, poor, disabled person, indigenous people, etc to take part in this event of decision-making.

Denying people of their rights was a challenge to the humanity, he appealed to all sections of people to join hands in protecting our inherent rights on the occasion, which is celebrated to improve the physical, social, cultural & spiritual well being and welfare of the vulnerable group of people.

Meanwhile, human rights activists have expressed concern over the gradual decline of democratic space and violation of rights of the minority and marginalised people in India. “We are going through such a dark period that any protest against the government is termed as anti-national activity,” said Henri Tiphagne, Executive Director of People’s Watch, a Madurai-based NGO.

DIMAPUR, DEC 9 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland has come out in support of Governor P.B. Acharya for openly criticizing the NPF- led DAN government for alleged corruptions at various levels.

According to ACAUT media cell, the Governor has absolutely right to rebuke “his children”, when they indulged in “thievery”.

Since, the “children” has done nothing good but brought scam after scams only, namely- mid-day meal, fuel adulteration (Rs. 500 crore), wheat (Rs. 1200 crore), backdoor appointment, non-payment of teacher salaries, Rs. 100 Cr pension, CAG report 2015-16 on Rs. 300 Cr plus misappropriation in F&CS department, MNREGA anomalies, anomalies in Roads & Bridges department, etc, the Governor has the right to be “miffed”, ACAUT said.

Therefore, ACAUT said

NPF instead of reacting on the statement of the Governor should be appreciable, when the Governor, who is also part and parcel of the government for coming out openly against his own government.

“Therefore, this bold and unconventional Governor should have no problem with niceties and decorum but should address the next budget session with the opening statement My corrupt government….”, ACAUT said.

Meanwhile, ACAUT appealed to the Governor that the NIA probe into the 24% salary deduction and 5% departmental deduction as levied by the Naga Factional Groups (NFGs) be widened to encompass all the departments (presently 36 departments are under scanner). In this regard, ACAUT also demanded that all government servants found conniving should not be spared irrespective of their status.

Zeliang justifies on holding civic polls with women quota

Zeliang being presented with a souvenir during the jubilee cum inaugural of town council at Mangkolemba.

DIMAPUR, DEC 9 (NPN): Against the backdrop of all apex Naga tribal bodies opposing the hasty decision of the government to implement 33% reservation for women in civic bodies without holding wider consultation and concurrence, Nagaland chief minister TR Zeliang Friday, sought to defend that decision by maintaining that the women quota would not infringe upon Article 371 A and Naga customary and traditional practices.

Speaking as chief guest at the Silver Jubilee celebration of Mangkolemba town and also inaugural programme of Mangkolemba Town Council at the Mangkolemba public ground on Friday, Zeliang said that instead, 33% per cent reservation for women will not affect the Naga customary practices, as even in wards and colonies of urban areas, traditional Naga practices can be enforced and maintained by respective wards/ colony councils.

Zeliang asserted that Nagas would also continue to follow the Nagaland Village Councils Act and reservation of 25% funds of

VDB for women was being implemented for more than 15 years or more. He further advised all not to misuse Article 371 but instead use it in the right perspective. On women reservation, Zeliang asked, if men and women were equal and women did not need reservation; then why was it that there is not a single woman legislator for many decades?

While ignoring the fact that he as minister of parliamentary affairs in 2012 had piloted a resolution against 33% women reservation on the ground that it infringed upon Article 371A; now as chief minister, Zeliang said his government decided to implement what was decided in 2001 (when Nagaland Municipal Act was passed) and 2006 (when 33% women reservation was incorporated) instead of waiting for court verdict (on the SLP filed by NMA representatives in the Supreme Court).

The chief minister also affirmed that the government would not impose tax collections on the urban bodies and that it will be left duly to the elected councillors.

Zeliang also urged upon the people to be “more willing

to pay their taxes and fees to the municipal and town councils so that enough resources could be raised for their common needs and facilities”. He pointed out that development in towns and cities in the state has been adversely affected in the last ten years due to inability to avail funds from the Central government since civic polls could not be conducted.

In the light of the above, he further appealed to the people to let elections to the ULBs take place as scheduled in the latter part of January or early part of February 2017.

Zeliang also added that “due to non-holding of elections in our municipal and town councils, certain grants recommended by the 14th Finance Commission are not being released to us by the Government of India.”

He also fervently appealed to people to extend fullest support on the government’s decision to hold elections to municipal and town councils with 33% reservation for women so that small and medium towns not covered by the VDBs would be benefitted.

Zeliang also lauded the decision of Western Angami Public Organisation and Chakhro Public Organisation to fully cooperate with the authorities in construction of the 4-lane road between Dimapur and Kohima. Zeliang said with cooperation of land owners, all sanctioned National Highways and other Centrally-sponsored Schemes projects could take off and completed within the stipulated period.

AgustaWestland probe: CBI arrest ex-IAF chief SP Tyagi NEW DELHI, DEC 9 (IANS): CBI on Friday arrested former Indian Air Force (IAF) chief S.P. Tyagi on charges of corruption in its ongoing probe into the Rs 3,767-crore AgustaWestland helicopter deal. S.P. Tyagi is the first chief of any wing of the armed forces to be arrested in the country.

He was taken into custody from Delhi along with his cousin Sanjeev Tyagi alias Julie Tyagi and a Delhi-based lawyer, Gautam Khaitan, for their involvement in alleged irregularities in the procurement of 12 AW-101 VVIP helicopters from a UK-based private company AgustaWestland.

They were arrested after being called for questioning to the CBI headquarters in south Delhi. Tyagi has denied the allegations hurled against him. “S.P. Tyagi, his cousin Sanjeev and Gautam Khaitan were arrested from Delhi. They will be pro-

S.P. Tyagi (File)

duced before a designated CBI court on Saturday,” CBI spokesperson Devpreet Singh told IANS. She said the total deal amount in AgustaWestland was Rs 3,767 crore and bribe amount was 12% of this. “It was revealed during investigation that undue favours were allegedly shown to AgustaWestland by accepting illegal gratification from the accused vendors through middlemen or relatives including Tyagi’s cousin Sanjeev and advocate Khaitan,” the spokesperson said.

“The arrested persons accepted the illegal gratification for exercising influence through illegal means and personal influence over the concerned public servants,” she said. It was alleged that S.P. Tyagi entered into criminal conspiracy with the other accused in 2005, one year after he came to head the IAF. S.P. Tyagi, his cousins Sanjeev, Rajiv and Sandeep and 14 others, including three European middlemen -- Guido Ralph Haschke, Carlo Vlentino Ferdinando Gerosa and Christian Michel -- were named in an FIR which the Central Bureau of Investigation lodged in March 12, 2013.

Others named in the FIR are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Aeromatrix Info Solution Pvt Ltd Praveen Bakshi, Chairman of IDS Infotech Ltd (India) Satish Bagrodia and its Managing Director Pratap K. Aggarwal.

Giuseppe Orsi and Bruno Spagnolini, then CEOs of the Italy-based companies Finmeccanica and AgustaWestland, were also named in the FIR. And so were companies Finmeccanica, AgustaWestland, IDS Infotech Ltd (India) and Aeromatrix India.

All the accused, companies included, were booked for criminal conspiracy, cheating and the Prevention of Corruption Act. The former IAF chief has been accused in Italy and India of helping AgustaWestland win the chopper contract by reducing the flying ceiling of the helicopter from 6,000 metres to 4,500 metres (15,000 feet). CBI officials probing the case told IANS that such changes in operational requirements made AgustaWestland eligible to participate in the Request For Proposal (RFP) for VVIP helicopters.

Lanuakum Imchen with his products at hornbill festival Kisama, Friday (NP)

Correspondent

KOHIMA, DEC 9 (NPN): A pack of organic and garden fresh black tea from “Cold Mountain” has become a hit among festive goers at the ongoing Hornbill festival due to its defining qualities—100 % organic, free of caffeine and harmful chemicals and preservatives.

Interacting with Nagaland Post the 25-year old young proprietor of Cold Mountain, Lanuakum Imchen said the main reason for his initiative in making organic tea was to promote Nagaland tea and also to educate the young educated youth about organic tea.

“With determination, nothing is impossible,” Imchen said as he narrated his journey of making the organic tea.

He said a cousin staying in China inspired him to make the organic tea as China is the homeland of tea plants and is accredited with having first introduced tea into daily life.

Owning 10 hectares of tea garden, Imchen took the challenge and discovered himself in many areas and after doing intense research outside the state he started his organic tea products with just Rs.3000.

He said the officials from Tea Board of India

who visited the stall took sample of the “Cold Mountain.”

This Nagaland tea comes from a cold and virgin hill of Longkhum village under Ongpangkong range in Mokokchung district, situated at an altitude of 1846 meter above sea level, the highest altitude of Mokokchung district of Nagaland.

Imchen said he prepares the tea in Mokokchung and does the packing in Dimapur.

tion of Sadar Hills and Jiribam as full-fledged revenue districts.

Chief minister O Ibobi said that the creation of the new districts was for administrative convenience while hoping that the move of the government will ease the “misinterpretation” of what a district in a state is meant for.

The bifurcation of the districts was “purely for administrative convenience” and not against the interest of any particular community said chief minister O Ibobi Singh who attended a one-day political conference organized by the Chingai Block Congress Committee (Ukhrul district) at the auditorium of Tribal Research Institution (TRI) in Imphal’s Chingmeirong.

The move of the government was for administrative convenience also as part of the government’s effort to bring about balanced development in both

hills and valley, said Ibobi.

“The move is also related with outreaching government’s policies and programmes to the every section of the people,” he said.

Referring to objections raised against inclusion of land belonging to a particular tribe in the creation of a new district, he said there has been lots of misinterpretation in the creation of new districts in the state.

“Any land belongs to any particular community or individual. The land belongs to government and it is the bounden duty of a government to reach out the unreached section of people and give them the light of development,” he said. Asserting that decision taken yesterday by his cabinet was in the interest of the development, the chief minister appealed to people of all sections not to misinterpret the move of the government.

Arunachal to frame new stipend policy

IMPHAL, Dec 9: Manipur government Friday published a gazette notification regarding creation of seven new districts bifurcating seven of the nine existing districts of the state. With this, Manipur will have 16 districts.

A marathon cabinet meeting which lasted till midnight of Thursday approved the creation of the seven new districts. Except Imphal West and Bishnupur district, all other districts have been divided into two districts.

The newly created districts are Tengnoupal (bifurcated from Chandel district), Kakching (from Thoubal), Pherjawl (from Churachandpur), Kamjong (from Ukhrul), Noney (from Tamenglong), Jiribam (from Imphal East) and Kangpokpi (from Senapati).

Aizawl, Dec 9 (Agencies): Mizoram Assembly on Wednesday unanimously passed the Mizoram Drug (Controlled Substances) Bill, 2016 as introduced in the legislature by the state Social Welfare Minister P.C. Lalthanliana, which would authorize law enforcement agencies to seize and prosecute people possessing and selling drugs, including those legally manufactured in the country, if abused by some people.

The legislation was meant to take up controlling of abuse, possession and sale of several drugs under the purview of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, Assam

the 16 districts including the seven new districts, the gazette notification published today stated that the district boundaries will be as per the existing boundaries of the concerned subdivisions. “………in the event of any disputes relating to the district boundaries, the matter will be decided by a district boundary commission headed by a ritired judge of high court, with administrative secretary of home, revenue and tribal affairs & hills of the state government as members,” the government gazette read.

The Manipur government further created two offices of additional deputy commissioner with headquarters at Mao in Senapati district and Jessami in Ukhrul district.

The creation of the news districts was despite the ongoing UNC sponsored economic blockade against proposed declara-

Drugs Control Act and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Lalthanliana while introducing the bill, said, “Conviction rate in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 is extremely low in Mizoram due to complex procedures and stringent provisions laid down in the act.” “The new local law would ensure simplification of procedures in order to raise the rate of conviction,” he informed, adding that manufacture, sale, use, abuse and treatment were included in the lists of pharmaceutical drugs commonly abused in the state to be listed out from the Schedule

H1 and Schedule X of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, conditions of licencing, sale and prosecution.

“In order to ensure quality in treatment of addicts, accreditation of the Treatment cum Rehabilitation Centers will be undertaken after which they will be certified and authorised by the government agency to act and provide drug treatment related services in the state of Mizoram,” he disclosed.

Mizoram government has allocated Rs 95 lakh for implementation of the legislation under different heads of account of the social welfare department.

Tura, Dec 9: The Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) suffered a major setback to the leadership in Meghalaya after the number two man in the terrorist outfit surrendered on Friday post demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.

Nikam Ch Momin alias Baichung, the second in command and one of the senior most leader of GNLA, wanted in several killings and extortions cases, surrendered to Anand Mishra, the police chief of South Garo Hills district, a police official said.

“It is a huge setback for the GNLA leadership (Sohan D. Shira). We are expecting more of them to surrender following the demonetisation,” Mishra said.

The surrendered terrorist deposited one HK(Heckler & Koch )-33 Rifle, 120 rounds of live ammunition, one 1 magazine, one pouch and 1 rifle pull-through besides two

mobile handsets, batteries with four SIM cards and incriminating documents.

Mishra said the surrender came after Baichung survived many encounters, recently one in Dabalgre area after which two GNLA terrorists succumbed to bullet wounds.

In fact, the surrender of Baichung came after police detected his terror fund generated by him post demonetization in South Garo Hills. Police had arrested two civilians -Sengchang Momin and Solly Sangma- for depositing Rs 28,00,000 in bank accounts in Tura (West Garo Hills district) after demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes at the behest of Baichung.

“Under heavy pressure by police operations, crackdown upon terror money, arrests of over ground workers and simultaneously opening a channel for negotiation by civil society has resulted in this surrender which has finally broken the back-bone of GNLA,” Mishra said.

Dear Deep (Sandeep Das) Wishing you love, success, fortune, friendship, happiness and everything that you want on your birthday. We love you a lot and always wish the best for you. Happy Birthday to you!

Gov condoles Rhipi’s demise

44 fake accounts with Rs. 100 crore found in raids on Delhi Axis Bank branch

IT dept seizes Rs 142 cr cash, gold

Huge cash seized by the Income Tax department after it conducted searches in Chennai. A total of Rs 106 crore cash, including Rs 10 crore in new notes, and 127 kg gold has been seized. (PTI)

Chennai/New Delhi, Dec 9 (PTI): In the biggest seizure of cash and gold post demonetisation, the Income Tax department today said it has seized unaccounted assets worth over Rs 142 crore -- that includes about Rs 10 crore in new notes and gold bars weighing 127 kg -- during searches at multiple locations in Chennai to check tax evasion.

This largest seizure of new currency notes in the country, after the old Rs 500/1,000 notes were scrapped on November 8, was seized by the sleuths of the investigation wing of

the Income Tax department after raids were launched yesterday on eight premises of a group engaged in sand mining in Tamil Nadu.

“The group has sand mining licence for the entire state of Tamil Nadu. Eight premises (six residential and two offices) were covered in the search.

“During the search, Rs 96.89 crore cash in old high denomination notes and Rs 9.63 crore in new Rs 2000 currency notes along with gold weighing 127 kg worth approximately Rs 36.29 crore were found and seized, as unaccounted assets,” the Central Board of

Lok Sabha adopts motion to suspend AAP MP

Sushma likely to undergo kidney transplant on Saturday

New Delhi, Dec 9 (IANS): The Lok Sabha on Friday adopted a motion to suspend Aam Aadmi Party MP Bhagwant Mann from the Lok Sabha for the remaining period of the winter session. Mann was being probed for posting a video footage of Parliament on social media.

The move was recommended by a parliamentary committee, headed by BJP MP Kirit Somaiya, that was probing Maan’s actions.

The committee presented its report on Thursday that said: “The committee, after due deliberations, recommends that Bhagwant Mann, MP, be suspended for the remaining period of the current session, i.e. the 10th session of the 16th Lok Sabha.”

The committee also said that there were repeated contradictions in his communications and therefore it felt that “tendering of his apology before the committee cannot be treated as unconditional apology”.

New Delhi, Dec 9 (IANS): The scheduled kidney transplant of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj is likely to take place on Saturday around 8.30 a.m, sources close to the team of doctors constituted to monitor the minister’s health said.

Among the doctors performing the transplant will be AIIMS director M. C. Misra, V.K Bansal and Sandeep Agarwal -- all prominent surgeons of the country.

“The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday) around 8.30 a.m.

Director M. C. Misra and V. K. Bansal will be part of it,” the source told IANS. According to the hospital authorities, the organ for Sushma Swaraj’s transplant was being harvested from a living unrelated donor. The clearance from the authorisation committee has been obtained. Earlier doctors said that most of the medical procedures required prior to the transplant such as crossmatch and a series of blood and immunological tests has been completed and found

‘Earthquake’ will happen when I speak on demonetisation: Rahul New Delhi, DEC 9 (Agencies): Attacking the government, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, Friday, said that he wants to speak in the Lok Sabha but the government is not allowing him to do so.

Speaking to reporters outside the Parliament, Rahul said, “For one month we have been wanting to debate demonetisation, we want the government to debate in the House. PM is giving speeches across the country, but he fears coming to the Lok Sabha.

He is the House, but he is not willing to sit in the Lok Sabha.”

“What is the reason, why is he so worried? (He) First talked about black money, then ran towards counterfeit currency and now is talking about cash less... come in (to Lok Sabha) and talk to us,” Rahul said.

Making a direct charge on the PM, Rahul said, “This is the biggest scam in India’s history. I will speak inside (the Lok Sabha) and

the PM will not being able to sit.” When a scribe asked him whether he felt that government is against him speaking in the Parliament, Rahul said, “They are not allowing me to speak.

When we said let’s debate, the government ran away...I will talk about the scam carried out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”

“An earthquake will happen when I speak in the Parliament,” Rahul said emphatically.

Direct Taxes, policy-making body for the I-T department, said in a statement issued in Delhi. The total value of the assets is about Rs 142.81 crore. Pictures of the seizures made by the sleuths in Chennai show big paper cartons packed with old and new notes kept side-by-side shining gold bars in a room in a posh locality in the southern metropolis.

It added that the searches are “still in progress at four out of the total 8 premises and more specific details including modus operandi would emerge after examination of the documents and other evi-

both the recepient and donor fit for the procedure.

Apart from the surgeons, who will be performing the transplant surgery, a team of doctors from other departments have also been constituted to monitor the health of Swaraj -- a severe diabetic.

The team of top doctors constitutes Head of Endocrinology Nikhil Tandon, Head of Pulmonary Medicine Randeep Guleria, Chief of Cardio Thoracic and Head of Nephrology Sandeep Mahajan.

Earlier the possibility of having Swaraj’s daughter as a potential donor was turned down by the doctors as she too was a severe diabetic and a patient of obesity. Doctors also said that Swaraj was undergoing dialysis whenever required.

O n N ove m b e r 1 6 , Swaraj tweeted that she was in AIIMS because of kidney failure. The 64-yearold, who has been in and out of the hospital for last few months, was admitted to AIIMS on November 7.

dence detected during the search.”

Meanwhile, officials said S Reddy, a contractor working with the state government, has claimed the entire money and the gold as his own and is being questioned along with few other people.

A senior department official said this seizure of gold and cash was “an unprecedented amount that the tax department has seized in recent times.”

The department, the officials said, carried out the searches based on intelligence inputs about the activities of Reddy and few others for the last few days.

Officials said the agency was investigating how the new notes in such a large quantity were stashed by the individual.

The bundles of the new Rs 2000, that were seized, had no banking slips on the them and were jumbled up to mislead investigators, they said.

The officials said a number of documents related to financial transactions, entries of gold sale and records of sale/purchase have also been seized by the tax sleuths.

“He (Reddy) is a contractor working with the state government. He is claiming the entire cash and gold to be his own. Further probe is on,” they said.

DIMAPUR, DEC 9 (NPN): Nagaland governor, PB Acharya, has expressed grief at the passing away of Rhipi Nukhu, father of parliamentary secretary of higher & technical education Deo Nukhu, on December 7 at Naga Hospital, Kohima.

People outside an Axis Bank branch that was raided by Income Tax officials in the Chandni Chowk in New Delhi on Friday. The officials have found several fake accounts in the bank. (PTI)

New Delhi, Dec 9 (Agencies): Income Tax officers have in a raid allegedly unearthed 44 fake accounts at a branch of Axis Bank in central Delhi’s Chandni Chowk.

Tax officials said about Rs. 100 crore in old notes have been deposited in these accounts since November 8, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi banned 500 and 1000 rupee notes to combat black money and money laundering, reported NDTV. A total 450 crores have been deposited in the branch since the day that the ban was announced,

the officials said.

The 44 fake accounts, they said, had been created using forged documents and investigators suspect that the money may have been routed to buy gold.

This is the second raid since the notes ban at an Axis Bank branch in Delhi. Last month, tax officers had caught two people with 3.5 crore in new currency as they came out of the Kashmere Gate branch of the bank, also in central Delhi.

After the Prime Minister’s sudden announcement abolishing high value currency, the government

has allowed people to deposit the outlawed 500 and 1000 rupee notes in bank accounts till December 30.

It has said that deposits of more than 2.5 lakh will attract scrutiny by the taxman.

The government has also given people with old notes in black or untaxed money a last opportunity to deposit these in their accounts and pay a 50 per cent tax plus penalty. It warned that if tax officials catch deposits made without them being informed, they will have to pay a much bigger fine.

Behind notes ban, Team of 6 worked secretly at PM’s home: Report

NEW DELHI, DEC 9 (Agencies): Prime Minister Narendra Modi handpicked a trusted bureaucrat, little known outside India’s financial circles, to spearhead a radical move to abolish 86 percent of the country’s cash overnight and take aim at the huge shadow economy.

Hasmukh Adhia, the bureaucrat, and five others privy to the plan were sworn to utmost secrecy, say sources with knowledge of the matter. They were supported by a young team of researchers working in two rooms at Prime Minister Modi’s residence, as he plotted his boldest reform since coming to power in 2014.

When announced, the abolition of high-value banknotes of 500 and 1,000 rupees came as a bolt from the blue. The secrecy was aimed at outflanking those who might profit from prior knowledge, by pouring cash into gold, property and other assets and hide illicit wealth.

Previously unreported details of PM Modi’s handling of the so-called “demonetisation” open a window onto the hands-on role he

played in implementing a key policy, and how he was willing to act quickly even when the risks were high.

While some advocates say the scrapping of the banknotes will bring more money into the banking system and raise tax revenues, many are furious at having to queue for hours outside banks to exchange or deposit their old money.

Many labourers, who used to get their salaries in cash, have also been unpaid and produce has rotted in markets as cash stopped changing hands. Not enough replacement notes were printed in preparation for the upheaval, and it could take months for things to return to normal.

PM Modi has staked his reputation and popularity on the move.

“I have done all the research and, if it fails, then I am to blame,” Prime Minister Modi told a cabi-

Hasmukh Adhia and five others privy to the plan were sworn to utmost secrecy.

net meeting on November 8, shortly before the move was announced, according to three ministers who attended. Overseeing the campaign, with support from the backroom team camped out at Prime Minister Modi’s residence in the capital, was Hasmukh Adhia, a top finance ministry official.

The 58-year-old served as principal secretary to Mr Modi from 2003-06 when

he was chief minister of Gujarat, establishing a relationship of trust with his boss and introducing him to yoga. Colleagues interviewed by Reuters said he had a reputation for integrity and discretion.

Mr Adhia was named revenue secretary in September 2015, reporting formally to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. In reality, he had a direct line to Prime Minister

Modi and they would speak in Gujarati when they met to discuss issues in depth.

In the world’s largest democracy the demonetisation was revolutionary: it called into question the state’s promise to “pay the bearer” the face value on every banknote.

At a stroke, Prime Minister Modi scrapped money worth 15.4 trillion rupees ($220 billion), equal to 86 percent of cash in Asia’s third-largest economy.

The idea is backed by some economists, although the speed of its implementation is widely seen as radical. “One is never ready for this kind of disruption - but it is a constructive disruption,” said Narendra Jadhav, a 31-year veteran and former chief economist of India’s central bank - The Reserve Bank of India. He now represents Prime Minister Modi’s party in the Rajya Sabha.

Cancer called corruption

N

agaland Governor P.B.Acharya has highlighted the significance of December 9 which is International Anti-Corruption Day which is in lieu of the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption on October 31,2003. The Convention had stated that the UN was “concerned about the seriousness of problems and threats posed by corruption to the stability and security of societies, undermining the institutions and values of democracy, ethical values and justice and jeopardizing sustainable development and the rule of law”.

The UN convention had estimated that every year, Rs. 65 lakh crore is paid in bribes while an estimated Rs.170 lakh crore was stolen annually through corruption which is a sum that is equivalent to more than 5% of the global GDP. Further according to UNDP, in developing countries, funds lost due to corruption is estimated to be ten(10) times the amount of official development assistance. Corruption exists everywhere but there is marked difference in the level and magnitude. India is ranked 126th among 180 nations in a UN-human development index survey; slightly ahead of Pakistan and far behind China (which is 81st rank). Each year, some scam or the other surfaces in India and interestingly, top politicians have never been sent to prison and which sends the message that the arm of the Indian law is too short. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has made a big splash against corruption but has fallen short of fulfilling its pledge except as to name and shame.

Unfortunately, corrupt politicians don’t care much for being named. However, Nagaland, like few of the states where corruption of the worst magnitude plagues the entire strata of society; the issue of tackling corruption has not translated into impartial investigation and prosecution. Those organizations that seemto have made themselves prominent by raising the issue have ignored that cardinal principle that corruption is as worse as violation of human rights. Corruption exists in some form or the other with individuals. Left unchecked, corruption, like cancer spreads and destroys society at all levels. The tenets of any religion is to inculcate moral and ethical values as primary requirement of obedience to God. Individual corruption is the cause of institutionalized corruption, the latter being the most dangerous and deadly. Today, institutionalized corruption has become so deep rooted in the government that people have become insensitive to it. In fact, corruption is no longer considered a crime but most unfortunately, an achievement. Instead of treating the corrupt of society as pariah, people instead run after them and place them on a pedestal for the sake of monetary gain. This condition is best exemplified by a word called asociality- a moral abyss afflicting contemporary society that leads ordinary people to believe that there is a price tag for everything as those in power have purchased the mandate to serve personal, family or community needs above all. Government servants in Nagaland, especially the bureaucrats, are considered to be among the richest in the state.

This amplifies the practical meaning of “serving the public” being turned into serving one’s interest. The vicious circle gets enlarged during elections which has to be the starting point where the battle against corruption has to be fought. The silence of the “religious leaders” of the church against cash for vote scam, anti social and criminal acts is deafening.

The Opposition of the Natural

Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. —Galatians 5:24 The natural life itself is not sinful. But we must abandon sin, having nothing to do with it in any way whatsoever. Sin belongs to hell and to the devil. I, as a child of God, belong to heaven and to God. It is not a question of giving up sin, but of giving up my right to myself, my natural independence, and my self-will. This is where the battle has to be fought. The things that are right, noble, and good from the natural standpoint are the very things that keep us from being God’s best. Once we come to understand that natural moral excellence opposes or counteracts surrender to God, we bring our soul into the center of its greatest battle. Very few of us would debate over what is filthy, evil, and wrong, but we do debate over what is good. It is the good that opposes the best. The higher up the scale of moral excellence a person goes, the more intense the opposition to Jesus Christ. “Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh….” The cost to your natural life is not just one or two things, but everything. Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself…” (Matthew 16:24). That is, he must deny his right to himself, and he must realize who Jesus Christ is before he will bring himself to do it. Beware of refusing to go to the funeral of your own independence.

The natural life is not spiritual, and it can be made spiritual only through sacrifice. If we do not purposely sacrifice the natural, the supernatural can never become natural to us. There is no high or easy road. Each of us has the means to accomplish it entirely in his own hands.

It is not a question of praying, but of sacrificing, and thereby performing His will.

Post-mortem Making of a mammoth tragedy

I

t is said that “money is an idea that inspires confidence”.

At the stroke of the midnight hour, on November 9, 2016, the confidence of more than a billion Indians was destroyed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had declared that more than 85 per cent of the value of money held in notes of Rs.500 and Rs.1,000 was worthless overnight. In one impetuous decision, the Prime Minister has shattered the faith and confidence that hundreds of millions of Indians had reposed in the Government of India to protect them and their money.

The Prime Minister in his address to the nation said, “there comes a time in the history of a country’s development when a need is felt for a strong and decisive step,” and propounded two primary reasons for this decision. One was to check “enemies from across the border… using fake currency notes”. The other was to “break the grip of corruption and black money”.

Both these intentions are honourable and deserve to be supported whole-heartedly. Counterfeit currency and black money are as grave a threat to the idea of India as terrorism and social division. They deserve to be extinguished using all the firepower at our disposal. However, the popular saying “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” serves as a useful reminder and warning in this context.

The underlying premise behind the decision of the Prime Minister to render Rs.500 and Rs.1,000 currencies as illegal overnight seems to be this false notion that ‘all cash is black money and all black money is in cash’. This is far from reality. Let us understand why. Life thrown into disarray More than 90 per cent of India’s workforce still earn their wages in cash. These consist of hundreds of millions of agriculture workers, construction workers and so on. While the number of bank branches in rural areas have nearly doubled since 2001, there are still more than 600 million Indians who live in a town or village with no bank. Cash is the bedrock of the lives of these people.

Their daily subsistence depends on their cash being accepted as a medium of valid currency. They save their money in cash which, as it grows, is stored in denominations of Rs.500 and Rs.1,000 notes. To

F

tarnish these as ‘black money’ and throw the lives of these hundreds of millions of poor people in disarray is a mammoth tragedy. The vast majority of Indians earn in cash, transact in cash and save in cash, all legitimately. It is the fundamental duty of a democratically elected government in any sovereign nation to protect the rights and livelihood of its citizens. The recent decision by the Prime Minister is a travesty of this fundamental duty.

Black money in India is a genuine concern. This is wealth that has been accumulated over years by those with unaccounted sources of income. Unlike the poor, holders of black money have access to various forms of wealth such as land, gold, foreign exchange, etc.

There have been various attempts by many governments in the past decades to recover this illicit wealth through actions by the Income Tax department, the Enforcement Directorate and schemes such as Voluntary Disclosure. These measures were targeted strikes at only those suspected to be holders of such unaccounted wealth, not on all citizens. Evidence from these past attempts has shown that a large majority of this unaccounted wealth is not stored in the form of cash. All black money is not in cash, only a tiny fraction is. Against this backdrop, the decision by the Prime Minister is bound to have obverse implications by causing grievous injury to the honest Indian who earns his/her wages in cash and a mere rap on the knuckles to the dishonest black money hoarder.

To make it worse, the government has actually made it easier to generate such unaccounted wealth in the future by the introduction of a Rs.2,000 note. This brazen policy measure has neither tackled the stock of black money holistically nor has it stemmed the flow of it.

It is no surprise that the logistical challenge of replacing billions of old currency notes with new ones is a monumental one. It is a huge challenge in most nations, and in a country as vast and diverse as India it was bound to be doubly so.

This is also one reason why most nations that have undertaken such currency swap operations have done so over a certain time period and not as a sudden overnight operation. It is heartbreaking to see and hear of millions of poor Indians standing in long lines to withdraw some money for basic

sustenance. As someone who has experienced long lines for rationed food during war time, I never imagined that one day I would find my own countrymen and women waiting endlessly for rationed money.

That all of this suffering is due to one hasty decision makes it even more disconcerting.

The macroeconomic impact of this decision of the government is likely to be hazardous. At a time when India’s trade numbers are at multi-year lows, industrial production is shrinking and job creation is anaemic, this policy can act as a negative shock to the economy.

It is indeed true that India’s cash to GDP ratio is very high vis-à-vis other nations. But this is also an indicator of the Indian economy’s dependence on cash. Consumer confidence is an important economic variable in a nation’s growth prospects. It is now evident that this sudden overnight ban on currency has dented the confidence of hundreds of millions of Indian consumers, which can have severe economic ramifications. The scars of an overnight depletion of the honest wealth of a vast majority of Indians combined with their ordeal of rationed access to new currency will be too deep to heal quickly. This can have ripple effects on GDP growth and job creation.

It is my humble opinion that we as a nation should brace ourselves for a tough period over the coming months, needlessly so.

Unintended consequences Black money is a menace to our society that we need to eliminate. In doing so, we have to be mindful of the potential impact on hundreds of millions of other honest citizens. It may be tempting and self-fulfilling to believe that one has all the solutions and previous governments were merely lackadaisical in their attempts to curb black money. It is not so. Leaders and governments have to care for their weak and at no point can they abdicate this responsibility.

Most policy decisions carry risks of unintended consequences. It is important to deftly balance these risks with the potential benefits of such decisions. Waging a war on black money may sound enticing.

But it cannot entail even a single loss of life of an honest Indian.

On relevance

A

ssociations and Unions are interest groups.

They are formed to protect and promote the interests of their members. But if members feel that the body is no longer addressing their concerns and/or promoting their interests, and the said association/union is no longer relevant to them; divisions arise that weaken the association/ union; and, unless addressed, could lead to its eventual demise. We, in Nagaland have seen this happen in the case of the Naga Hoho. The Eastern Nagas were the first to feel their issues neglected, and broke away from the Hoho. And now, arising out of a perceived conflict of interest, we have seen the birth of the Nagaland Tribes Council and the Central Naga Tribes Council. Whether the Naga Hoho realises that the formation of the N.T.C and the C.N.T.C.; after the disassociation of the Eastern Nagas, is the sounding of its death knell, remains to be seen. As to how it can regain its former status is for those who formulate and drive its policies to decide.

Alongside the Naga Hoho, we have seen a near identical crisis arising in the Naga Students’ Federation. The students’ body has mirrored the Naga Hoho in that it has seen the Eastern Naga students break away; and it is for the present office bearers to decide whether it will follow in the footsteps of the Naga Hoho.

They have to decide on whether to take up issues relevant to the problems students face on a daily basis and which affects their future; or whether to play to a larger audience.

I am extremely heartened that the N.S.F. has taken up the issue of Backdoor Appointments. This issue is has a common denominator spanning tribal and individual barriers.

It has found resonance with students and parents alike. It is only by taking up such issues, which have a direct bearing on the futures of all students, will the N.S.F. find its relevance in a society which has lost its moral compass. The Naga Hoho, the C.N.T.C., the N.T.C., etc, are bodies which have interests with emphasis on the present whereas the N.S.F. must have

IRECRACKER A firecracker is a small explosive device primarily designed to produce a large amount of noise, especially in the form of a loud bang; any visual effect is incidental to this goal. They have fuses, and are wrapped in a heavy paper casing to contain the explosive compound.

FIRECRACKER AFFECT OUR HEALTH The bursting of crackers is primarily responsible for an increase in concentration of dust and pollutants. The fine dust that settles after bursting crackers is rich in pollutants like oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, metal dust and organic pollutants.

• Even the tiny sparklers, torches and flower pots which are otherwise considered to create no noise at all generate thick smoke that can affect the respiratory tract of young children.

• The suspended particulate matter (SPM) levels rise significantly during Diwali.

This causes throat, nose and eye related problems which can later develop into adverse health issues.

• Firecrackers have much more severe effects in people with heart, respiratory or nervous system disorders.

• They can aggravate problems for people suffering from colds, allergies or coughs and can also cause congestion of the throat and chest.

• They can also cause water contamination and acid rains.

• They result in air pollution that creates carcinogenic Sulphur compounds and airborne arsenic effect.

• The green light pro-

duced in fireworks displays comes from barium, which is radioactive and poisonous.

The blue colour produced from copper compounds comes from dioxins linked to cancer.

FIRECRACKERS AFFECT THE ENVIRONMENT Noise Pollution: Firecrackers make more noise than the allowed decibel limit.

Air Pollution: Smog caused by firecrackers is harmful when inhaled. It also causes reduced visibility.

The Central Pollution Control Board of India has also banned firecrackers with a decibel level of more than 125 at a distance of 4 mts from the bursting point.

Fire Hazards: Sometimes rockets set fire to huts, heaps of dry grass and even houses.

Garbage: After bursting of firecrackers the main problem that comes to our sight is the garbage lying on the roads. This garbage is chemical garbage that has effect on people’s health.

FIRECRACKERS AFFECT ANIMALS • The sound of bursting crackers can be quite traumatic to pets, as they cannot bear loud sounds.

• We know that dogs have an incredible hearing ability and they can detect sounds that cannot be heard by human beings.

CHEMICALS IN FIRECRACKERS Today, simple sparklers have given way to elaborate fireworks that can light up the entire sky above your home.

Unfortunately the fumes that these crackers produce are

harmful to the environment and us.

The levels of various chemicals used in making fire crackers are injurious to our respiratory passages. The various chemicals used in fireworks and their effects • Copper: Causes irritation in the respiratory tract.

• Cadmium: Reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of blood, leading to anaemia.

• Lead: Lead in the body has a harmful effect on the nervous system.

• Magnesium: Magnesium fumes cause a condition known as metal fume fever.

• Zinc: Causes metal fume fever and also induces vomiting.

• Sodium: Sodium is a highly reactive element and combines with moisture to cause burns.

• Nitrate: Can cause mental impairment • Nitrite: Can cause skin problems, eye irritation, and respiratory problems in children.

NAGALAND POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD NOTIFICATION ON FIRECRACKERS Nagaland Pollution Control Board had vide notification no. NPCB/ Noise/7144-54 Dated 27th April, 2016 issued that it has been observed that fire crackers are widely used during the festive seasons like Diwali, Chhath Puja, Christmas, New Year, Weddings, and Birthdays etc.

Fire crackers emit noise and gas during bursting and the Government of India under the Noise (Regulation and Control of Pollution) Rule, 2000 had laid down certain

rules in order to regulate noise so that people are least disturbed, such as:1. The Deputy Commissioner is the authority to implement the said rule.

2. Bursting of crackers during night time i.e. 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM is not permitted.

3. Fire crackers above 125 decibels are banned.

In addition to the above Rules, the Nagaland Pollution Control Board under Section 31 A of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Section 8 of The Noise (Regulation and Control of Pollution) Rule, 2000 directs; That, if there is to be firework; 1. Prior permission has to be taken from the concerned Administration who shall give permission to carry out the firework specifying the time and place for the purpose (away from the hospitals, schools, residential areas).

2. Wide publicity shall be given prior to the event to avoid panic to the people in the vicinity and to maintain congenial environment, prevent annoyance, disturbance, and discomfort to the public.

CELEBRATE ECOFRIENDLY Let us celebrate Christmas and New Year in an eco-friendly way and save the environment from pollution.

SAY NO TO FIRE CRACKERS MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR Issued by: Nagaland Pollution Control Board

interests with emphasis on the future. That fact that the N.S.F. has taken up the said issue shows a paradigm shift in its approach to the problems facing Nagaland; it is relevant to all students across Nagaland, and it seeks to address one of the many factors which are destroying the future of Nagaland.

But this is only the beginning of the road that the N.S.F. must travel. Nagaland has no lack of issues which need correcting. The call by the N.S.F. for a protest by students against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act was commendable, but not pressing; for other organisations and bodies had a more urgent need to address the A.F.S.P.A. What it needs to do is bring up the issues students and parents face day in and day out, year after year. The frequent change of the syllabus of the Matriculate exams by the Nagaland Board of School Education is one; the lack of uniformity in the prescribed text book from classes 1 to 8 is another; the sale of, and frequent change in uniform by many private schools is another; the sale of, not only text books, but also notebooks by the schools is another; the manipulation by the government of the reserved seats in the medical and technical branches of education is another. These are just some of the many examples of the exploitation of the students and parents by the authorities, both governmental and private, which spring to mind; but there are many more such issues.

If the present office bearers of the N.S.F. can bring to the fore relevant issues which affect every student, and in consequence, their parents; there is no reason why they cannot grow from strength to strength. And with their growth in strength, they will have been instrumental in saving an institution that was once a cornerstone of Naga Society; they may even induce our Eastern Naga Students to come back to the fold. A feat which will surely earn them a place in the history of Nagaland.

In a joint statement issued following that visit, both Modi and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Xuan Phuc “expressed satisfaction at three decades of bilateral cooperation in the use of

New Delhi, Dec 9 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that a new civil nuclear agreement between India and Vietnam will boost ties with the Southeast Asian nation seen as a crucial partner of New Delhi in that region.

“The Prime Minister said that the bilateral Agreement on Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, being signed today (Friday), will further strengthen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between India and Vietnam,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup told the media after visiting President of Vietnam’s National Assembly, Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, called

atomic energy for peaceful purposes pursuant to the agreements signed by the two countries in 1986”. Friday’s agreement is important given that Vietnam is India’s country coordinator for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), a region which is the focus of India’s Act East Policy.

In November, India signed a civil nuclear deal with Japan during Modi’s visit to Tokyo.

Apart from Vietnam and Japan, other countries with which India now has civil nuclear agreements include the US, Russia, Australia, Canada, France, Britain, South Korea, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Namibia and Argentina.

In his meeting with Ngan on Friday, Modi also called for increased interactions between the parliaments of India and Vietnam and the institution of an exchange programme for young parliamentarians between the two countries.

“The Prime Minister recalled their earlier meeting in Hanoi during his visit to Vietnam in September 2016,” Swarup said.

“He said that Ngan, as the first woman to head the National Assembly of Vietnam, is a source of inspiration to women across the world.”

Mumbai, Dec 9 (PTI): Gold prices slipped at the domestic bullion market here today on subdued offtake from stockists and jewellers coupled with lack of local buying interests as well as weak global cues. Silver too fell on sustained selling and lack of industrial buying support. Standard gold (99.5 purity) declined by Rs 145 to close at Rs 28,035 per 10 grams from Thursday’s finish of Rs 28,180. Pure gold (99.9 purity) also fell by a similar margin to settle at Rs 28,185 per 10 grams as compared to Rs 28,330 yesterday. Silver (.999 fineness) declined by Rs 185 to end at Rs 41,565 from Rs 41,750 earlier. Globally, gold edged lower and was headed for a fifth straight weekly decline, weighed down by a stronger US dollar and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike next week.

New Delhi, Dec 9 (IANS): As many as 85 per cent ATMs have been recalibrated by November 30 for the new currency notes, Parliament was informed on Friday.

what prosecutors say was collusion by Park with a longtime friend to extort money from companies and to give that confidante extraordinary sway over government decisions.

Organisers said about 10,000 people gathered in front of the National Assembly to demand that lawmakers pass the impeachment motion.

Some had spent the night on the streets after traveling from other cities.

Scuffles broke out between angry anti-Park farmers, some of whom had driven tractors to the assembly from their farms, and police.

When impeachment happened, many of those gathered raised their hands

in the air and leapt about, cheering and laughing.

“Can you hear the roar of the people in front of the National Assembly? We need to overcome the old establishment and create a new Republic of Korea by passing (the impeachment motion),” Kim Kwan-young, an opposition lawmaker said ahead of the vote, referring to South Korea’s formal name. “Our great people have already opened the way. Let’s make it so we can stand honorably in front of history and our descendants.”

The handover of power prompted the prime minister to order South Korea’s defense minister to put the military on a state of heightened readiness to brace for any potential provocation by North Korea. No suspicious movements by the North were reported, however.

Park will be formally removed from office if at least six of the Constitutional Court’s nine justices support her impeachment, and the country would then hold a presidential election within 60 days.

National Assembly speaker Chung Sye-kyun said the bill on Park’s impeachment was passed by

a vote of 234 for and 56 opposed, with seven invalid votes and two abstentions.

That well surpassed the necessary two-thirds vote needed in the 300-seat assembly, with the opposition getting strong support from members of Park’s party.

Present for the vote were relatives of the victims of a 2014 ferry disaster that killed more than 300 and was blamed in part on government incompetence and corruption; they cheered and clapped after the impeachment was announced.

Most lawmakers left the hall quietly, though some could be seen taking selfies as they waited to vote.

Lawmakers from both parties faced huge pressure to act against Park, the daughter of a military dictator still revered by many conservatives for lifting the country from poverty in the 1960s and 1970s.

Her approval ratings had plunged to 4 percent, the lowest among South Korean leaders since democracy came in the late 1980s, and even elderly conservatives who once made up her political base have distanced themselves from her.

Colombian prez to receive Nobel Peace Prize Bogota, Dec 9 (IANS): Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos travelled to Norway to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, together with representatives of the thousands of victims of the country’s half-century conflict, the media reported on Friday.

Santos on Thursday invited “some 40 people, many of them close friends and relatives, but also (peace) negotiators and about 10 representatives of the victims of the conflict”, Xinhua news agency reported.

“I will accept the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of all Colombians, but especially the victims of the conflict,” Santos said.

Among those accompanying the President were Pastora Mira Garcia, a community activist who lost much of her family and still helped both the victims and those fighting the civil war, Leiner Palacios, a survivor of massacre, Fabiola Perdomo, a widow of a deputy who was kidnapped and killed by the rebels, and Ingrid Betancourt, a former presidential candidate and high-profile kidnapped victim.

7.8 magnitude earthquake hits Solomon Islands WELLINGTON, Dec 9 (Agencies): A strong 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the Solomon Islands on Friday. A tsunami warning issued for a wide swathe of the South Pacific was later lifted. There were no immediate reports of casualties or excessive damage.

Solomon Islands National Disaster Management Office director Loti Yates said he received reports of collapsed buildings on Malaita, an island near the epicentre of the massive undersea quake, which had initially prompted a tsunami watch as far afield as Hawaii.

“Most houses are built by traditional materials, so some houses are reported to have been damaged in south Malaita but the extent is not known,” Yates told Reuters by telephone.

place shortly before Muslim Friday prayers, when Cairo’s streets are mostly empty.

Militants have repeatedly attacked policemen and soldiers since the army overthrew Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013 and unleashed a bloody crackdown on his followers.

Most of the attacks are conducted in the Sinai Peninsula by a branch of the Islamic State group.

But militants have also targeted security forces and

government officials in the capital.

An Egyptian judge in one of the trials of Morsi, who was detained after his ouster, escaped unharmed last month when a car bomb exploded in the capital as he drove by.

That attack came days after a roadside bombing targeting a police convoy in Cairo killed a passerby.

In September, militants set off a car bomb as the country’s deputy state prosecutor was passing. He too escaped unharmed.

UN calls on Suu Kyi to visit crisis-hit Rakhine United Nations, Dec 9 (Agencies): The UN has urged Myanmar`s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi to visit the north of Rakhine state, where the army is accused of carrying out a brutal crackdown on the Muslim Rohingya minority. The Nobel peace prize winner has faced growing criticism for not stopping the military`s campaign, which has pushed more than 20,000 Rohingya over the border to Bangladesh.

Escapees have told AFP shocking stories of mass rape, murder and arson at the hands of security forces, which took control of the area after deadly raids on police posts in October. Malaysia has accused the army of “genocide”, a charge Myanmar officials have vehemently denied.

In a statement released in New York on Thursday, UN special adviser on Myanmar Vijay Nambiar appealed directly to the peace icon to intervene.

“The adoption of a generally defensive rather than proactive approach to providing security to the local population (has) caused frustration locally and disappointment internationally,” he said.

“I also appeal to Daw Suu to visit Maungdaw and Buthidaung and reassure the civilian population there that they will be protected,” he added, referring to the locked down area in Rakhine.

South Korean president impeached

Seoul, Dec 9 (Agencies): South Korean lawmakers today impeached President Park Geun-hye, a stunning and swift fall for the country’s first female leader amid protests that drew millions into the streets in united fury.

After the vote, parliamentary officials hand-delivered formal documents to the presidential Blue House that stripped Park of her power and allowed her No 2, Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, to assume leadership until the country’s Constitutional Court rules on whether Park must permanently step down. The court has up to six months to decide.

“I’d like to say that I’m deeply sorry to the people because the nation has to experience this turmoil because of my negligence and lack of virtue at a time when our security and economy both face difficulties,” Park said at a Cabinet meeting after the vote.

Once called the “Queen of Elections” for her ability to pull off wins for her party, Park has been surrounded in the Blue House in recent weeks by millions of South Koreans who have taken to the streets in protest.

Imlibenla Wati credits God for her success

S

uper Talent World (Asia Pacific) 2016, runner-up Imlibenla Wati, credited her success to God and said she had achieved more than her expectations. Talking to media persons at Agago building, Burma Camp, Dimapur, Friday, Imlibenla said, the recent competition held in Sheraton, South Korea on December 3 as “one of the toughest and most

challenging competitions” she had every participated.

She said, “God gave me the opportunity to give the message to the world that we Nagas are also capable of great things and that we are second to none.”

Disclosing about her future plans, Imlibenla said she was keen on doing social works and becoming a state’s person.

When asked about her

experience about being part of the recently concluded Miss Nagaland contest, 2016 as guest of honour, she said the pageant had improved over the years.

Regarding 33 % women reservation, she said that women should come forward as they are equally capable and it’s high time that they involve in decision making bodies.

At the same time she added

that there were lesser women representatives in politics especially in Nagaland.

Answering to a question on whether she was interested in politics or join the municipal election, Imlibenla said she was interested in politics, she said that she was interested in politics as she feels that every concerned citizen should be aware of the political developments, but that

she does not have any definite plans to contest elections right now but only time will tell. She said, “God will be the guiding force behind every decision I take in my life.”

Imlibenla Wati is currently pursuing her 5th semester in National Education Foundation (NEF) Law College, Guwahati.

Students of different musical departments including Piano, Guitar, Violin and Vocals performed solos and groups which attracted even the pedestrians passing by the venue.

The students made wonderful presentations although they had to bear the inconveniences caused by some senseless drivers honking along the road inspite of the full view of the music recital that was in progress.

Street performance is still a risky affair in Nagaland unlike in other cities where artistes consider the street as their first stage and a place where they can perform, improve their skills and get appreciated for their talents and performances.

The music recital ended with an open jam session where musicians took turns to perform. The recital was hosted by Note Grid administrator Alemkala.

PSA 54th meet underway

Mumbai, Dec 9 (PTI): India made a strong reply with the bat after off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin picked up yet another five-wicket haul as the hosts reached 146 for 1 on the second day of the fourth cricket Test against England here today.

After Ashwin took two more wickets today to return with innings figures of 6/112, Murali Vijay (70 batting) and Cheteshwar Pujara (47 batting) led a solid Indian reply to England’s first innings 400 all out with a 107-run stand for the unbroken second wicket to help the hosts take the Day 2 honours.

India, 2-0 up in the fivematch Test series, now trail England by 254 runs with nine first innings wickets in hand on a Wankhede Stadium track offering copious turn and bounce to the spinners.

Opener Vijay rediscovered his form with an elegant knock of 70 not out while in-form number three Pujara continued to torment the visitors with his impeccable judgement with his bat in making 47 not out as India closed the day with their nose ahead on 146 for 1 in 52 overs.

The duo’s unfinished second wicket partnership of 107 runs came from 228 balls and it was their seventh 100-plus stand in Tests and second of the series after the double century stand in the drawn series opener at Rajkot. Earlier, Indian spin twins Ashwin and Jadeja claimed all the 10 wickets between them to bowl England out for 400 in the visitors’ first innings.

Ashwin bagged 6 for 112 with his off-spin, his 23rd five-wicket haul in his 43rd match, while left-arm spinner Jadeja claimed 4 for 109 as the tourists were all out in the post-lunch session.

Brief scores: India 146/1 (Vijay 70*, Pujara 47*; Moeen 1/44) trail England 400 (Jennings 112, Buttler 76; Ashwin 6/112) by 254 runs K Y M C

Sumis win tug of war

Sumi and Yimchunger during final match of tug of war competition on Friday. (NP)

Correspondent

Kohima, Dec 9 (NPN): Sumi community emerged as the champion of tug of war competition, one of the most exciting Naga indigenous games, on the 9th day of the Hornbill festival held at Naga Heritage village Kisama on Friday.

S u m i c o m mu n i t y defeated Yimchunger in the final and walked away with a cash prize of Rs.20,000.

Runner-up Yimchunger tribe received Rs.10,000.

In the first round, Sumi tribe beat Garo community. They defeated Khiamniungan and Konyak community in the quarter-final and semi-final

respectively.

Altogether 15 tribes participated in the competition.

Tourists both domestic and foreign and local visitors thronged the main area and witnessed the exciting game. Director youth resources and sports Asangla Imti gave away the prizes to the winners.

Manchester United reach Europa last 32 LONDON, Dec 9 (Agencies): Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored his first goal for Manchester United to secure their spot in the Europa League knockout stage with a 2-0 win at Zorya Luhansk on Thursday.

A draw would have been enough to see United through on a frozen pitch in Ukraine, but often out-of-favour Mkhitaryan’s goal three minutes after half-time put them ahead before Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s late second.

Marcos Rojo won the ball back in midfield and Mkhitaryan ran at the heart of the Zorya defence, weaving his way into the penalty area before firing home the coolest of low finishes. And United’s victory was confirmed when a fine pass from Paul Pogba put Ibrahimovic through and he slid the ball home to remove any doubt.

However, United could face a difficult draw in the round of 32 after only finishing second in Group A behind Fenerbahce.

Moussa Sow’s bicycle kick from five yards out after an ill-advised defensive header ensured the Turkish club finished on 13 points, one ahead of Jose Mourinho’s side.

Dimapur, Dec 9 (NPN): 5 Assam Rifles organised a friendly volleyball match between Company Operating Base (COB) Chare and Chare Town Students Union on December 8.
