Zeliang refused Dr. Shurho’s offer: Yitachu

Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL 10 (NPN): T.R. Zeliang, who presently leads the majority rebel group to reclaim the post of chief minister, had declined the offer of chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu to take over the chair on July 8.

This was disclosed

by NPF spokesperson and School Education & SCERT minister, Yitachu on Monday, while addressing media persons here at the State Banquet Hall. Yitachu said Dr. Liezietsu, had made the offer to Zeliang, after considering all aspects in the interest of the Naga people, since the whole issue was about leadership. He said chief minister Dr. Shürhozelie’s offer came after consultations with legislators and party officials.

He said the message was conveyed to Zeliang through R&B minister, Y. Vikheho Swu over telephone on July 8. However, after waiting for over four hours, Zeliang declined to accept the offer, Yitachu said.

He said the present crisis cropped up on July 7 at a dinner party hosted

by Zeliang at his Dimapur residence after the campaign meeting of the NDA

Govt employees asked to attend office regularly DIMAPUR, JUL 10 (NPN): State government has directed Administrative Heads of Departments (AHoDs) to instruct their employees to attend office regularly. Addl. chief secretary (Home), Temjen Toy, who held a meeting with the AHoDs at chief secretary’s conference hall on Monday, lamented that officers and staffs taking undue advantage of the current political crisis were neglecting their office duties and being irregular in office. According to an official bulletin, Toy maintained that the bureaucracy would continue to function under any circumstances and asked AHoDs to instruct their employees to work sincerely and attend office regularly.

BSNLEU to launch stirs

DIMAPUR, JUL 10 (NPN): BSNL Employees’ Union (BSNLEU) NE-II Circle Dimapur on Monday announced to launch series of agitation to press its demands including wage and pension revision. In a press release, the union secretary, KS Singh, stated that as per the action programme, the employees would hold hunger strike on July 13 and one day strike on July 27.

This is it!

“The entire state is reeling with bad roads and power cuts and all the MLAs care for is power games?”

presidential nominee at Dimapur.

Yitachu described Dr. Liezietsu as an honest and sincere leader, who kept his word to step down but Zeliang’s refusal was surprising and reasons still unknown.

He said the fallout of the July 7 rebellion prompted the party and the government to take action against some of the members for trying to destabilize the government and indulging for anti-party activities.

Yitachu also admitted that there were internal differences within the party since the day T.R. Zeliang was made to step down over ULB election issue.

On the bye-election, Yitachu categorically pointed out that on May 26 the cabinet, DAN legislators and NPF Central Executive Council unanimously endorsed Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu to become an elected member. DAN MLAs also appealed to the ECI to hold the bye-election at the earliest. However, he said the announcement of bye-election led to severe internal problem within the party, since T.R Zeliang had probably felt that by-election should not be held and CM’s seat should be vacated and

handed over to him. Yitachu said since Zeliang refused Dr. Shürhozelie’s offer to reclaim the chair, there was therefore no question of leadership issue within the NPF. Yitachu maintained that ministers and parliamentary secretaries in Kohima were attending offices.

He also said that since it was an internal party matter, whatever inconveniences caused to the government functioning and general public would be resolved soon.

When asked about the claims that NPF central had the support of BJP at the Centre, Yitachu said “be it at state or national level, BJP was firm on their alliance with NPF and the MLAs have been discharging their duties.”

On suspension issue, Yitachu said there were certain reasons for initiating action against some. He also said since it was an internal matter, approaching the Governor would not be wise since the Governor’s office had nothing to do with NPF internal issues.

According to reports, Zeliang has gone to Delhi where he is camping to meet Governor P.B. Acharya.

Zeliang has staked claim to form the new govern-

ment with the support of 42 MLAs (35 NPF and 7 Independents) camped at a resort in Kaziranga.

To queries on Pillai’s case, Yitachu said chief minister was very clear on issues of corruption. “The CM has made it clear that any corruptions at any level will not be tolerated,”said Yitachu.

Meanwhile, Kuzholuzo Azo Nienu, MLA citing an instance of the 2015 Sovima episode, said even though they had majority, they failed to topple the government that time. He also clarified that the appointment of Khriehu Liezietsu as advisor to CM had nothing to do with the present crisis as Khriehu never accepted the appointment.

With the ongoing political crisis casting a shadow of uncertainty over the functioning of the government system as the stalemate would persist till the return of Nagaland Governor P.B.Acharya to the state capital. As per itinerary, the Governor was scheduled to fly to Arunachal Pradesh for some official programme and return to Kohima on July 13.

Azo appointed as DAN chairman: Advisor State Planning Board, Kuzholuzo Azo Nienu has

been appointed as chairman of the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) with cabinet status in place of former chief minister, T.R. Zeliang. This was stated in a notification dated July 10, issued by the officiating cabinet secretary, Temjen Toy. The newly appointed DAN chairman said that the alliance partners NPF, BJP, JD(U) and NCP held a meeting on Monday reaffirming their support to chief minister, Shürhozelie Liezietsu.

Dr. Liezietsu to file nomination today: Setting aside all speculations, chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu would be filing his nomination on Tuesday for the 10-Northern Angami I by-election, scheduled to be held on July 29.

Informing this during the press conference, NPF spokesperson Yitachu said keeping in mind the outmost priority of the Naga political issue and also as desired by the people of the state, Dr. Liezietsu will file his nomination on Tuesday.

Azo said there was strong apprehension that NGOs might revolt against Zeliang’s leadership, thereby the step was taken that Dr. Shürhozelie must contest.

8 MLAs warn ‘bureaucratic community’ of Nagaland DIMAPUR, JUL 10 (NPN): Against the backdrop of administrative orders issued by the government for removal of security escorts, seizure of administrative powers of dismissed ministers and parliamentary secretaries and re-allotment of some bungalows of dissident ministers, eight rebel MLAs from the T.R. Zeliang camp in Kaziranga, have cautioned the “bureaucratic community in Nagaland” to be “very watchful and meticulous” that though they may be subjected to tremendous pressure from the top, while issuing official “legal or illegal” orders .

In a communiqué issued through press and media cell of the NPF Legislature Party -- Y. Patton, Tokheho Yepthomi, Imkong L. Imchen, G. Kaito Aye, Zhaleo Rio, C.M. Chang, Y.M. Yollow and Neiba Kronu said they have been constrained to issue the caution due to the “series of decisions” taken by an “unmandated Chief Minister Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu” during the last few days.

The eight described

Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu as one “deeply rooted in hypocrisy”, without democratic ideas, political morality and filled with vindictiveness and greed for power.”

The rebel MLAs maintained that their group would form “a popular government mandated by the people” to be installed “within the next few days”.

Therefore, they cautioned that all the decisions taken during the last few days would be effectively reviewed and nullified once they form the popular government.

The MLAs have especially cautioned the AHoDs and HoDs to be “more watchful” so that their actions taken under pressure from incumbent chief minister, did not attract nor invite legal action against them.

They expressed hope that the “respected bureaucratic community” would take their statement in a positive perspective and not construe it as power mongering adding that their only interest was to accord due respect and humility to all the rank and file of the state bureaucracy.

Khriehu declines Advisor’s post Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL: 10 (NPN): Khriehu Liezietsu, who was appointed as Advisor to CM with cabinet status, has declined to accept the assignment “due to other pressing public engagements.”

In his letter to the chief minister, Khriehu expressed regret for not accepting the assignment. Khriehu who was the MLA from 10 Northern Angami-I constituency, vacated the seat for his father Dr. Shürhozelie to contest the bye-election schedule to be held on July 29.

NPF sources confirmed that Khriehu had declined the post. His appointment was made because there was immense pressure from within the party and legislators, to reward him for sacrificing his MLA seat, the source said.

However, the source said he had officially never accepted the offer as he was in Delhi since June end for medical check up. He had come only two days back from Delhi, the source added.

When contacted, Khriehu confirmed that he was in Delhi for over a week for his wife’s operation.

He did not say much but confirmed that he declined to take the post of advisor to CM.

DAN betrayed Nagas by supporting Kovind: Cong Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUL 10 (NPN): Hitting out at NPFled Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) government for declaring full support to NDA’s presidential nominee, Ram Nath Kovind, the All India Congress Committee secretary in-charge of Nagaland Dr. Jayakumar on Monday said that as elected representatives of the people, the MLAs and MPs, have committed a “great sin” and betrayed the people of Nagaland.

He alleged that MLAs and MPs by extending unanimous support to Ram Nath have become slaves of RSS. DAN on July 7 extended unanimous support to NDA presidential nominee for the upcoming Presidential elec-

tion to be held on July 17.

Addressing media persons at Hotel Acacia, Dimapur, Jayakumar in the presence of senior Congress leader K.L. Chishi, said that the move of the DAN government was an insult to the people and Christian society of Nagaland. He alleged that Ram Nath was a “hardcore RSS” and in one of the press conference in 2010, he (Ram Nath) had said that Christians and Muslims were from other planet.

This statement has proved beyond doubt that he is also anti-Christian and anti-Muslim, Dr. Jayakumar said. Despite knowing all this, Jayakumar said the MLAs and MPs have failed to understand the sentiments for the people, and has instead become power crazy and power mongers.

In view of the above, he maintained that it would be dangerous for such a person to be the President of India for the Naga society.

They should understand that people have elected them as their representatives and that by extending support to BJP candidate, he said it was a real threat on the way of life and religious belief. Therefore, Dr. Jayakumar appealed to the MPs and MLAs to work on their conscience and not on the direction of the party.

Pointing out that since no party whip would be applicable, and that the voters were free to decide on whether they want to cast their vote or not, the secretary incharge appealed to the voters (MLAS and MPs) to take people’s consideration and sentiments into account.

MLA slams appointment of Azo DIMAPUR, JUL 10 (NPN): Hitting out at chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü for the recent appointment of Kuzholuzo (Azo) Neinu as DAN chairman (replacing T.R. Zeliang), rebel legislator Merentoshi Jamir said only Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü approved the appointment and not the BJP and Independent MLAs. In a statement, Merentoshi pointed out that DAN was a conglomeration of various political parties such as- NPF and BJP including independent MLAs. Therefore, since the appointment of Azo as DAN chairman did not pervade beyond NPF, it was therefore, “a politically and legally infirm exercise”.

Merentoshi also pointed out that when T.R. Zeliang was proposed by Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü as DAN chairman, it was a unanimous election by all DAN legislators comprising of 48 NPF, 4BJP and 8 Independents on February 22, 2017. Zeliang still enjoyed confidence of DAN

legislators said Merentoshi and so in order to replace him (Zeliang), it would required approval of majority of NPF, BJP and Independent MLAs. In this regard, he noted that the cabinet notification dated July 10, according cabinet status to Azo Neinu was “ultra vires” to the law on such appointments and that the notification was also “void ab initio” since Azo did not have the sanction of NPF, BJP and Independent MLAs to be DAN chairman. Further, noted that it was “strange” that the notification did not even invoke the name of the Governor as required under article 166 of the constitution of India.

In the light of the above, Merentoshi said MLAs and public “may therefore ignore” the notification as “rubbish produced by a beleaguered chief minister and as lacking legal validity.”

He said only T.R. Zeliang has the distinction of obtaining approval of all NPF, BJP and Independent

MLAs on February 22, 2017 and continues as DAN chairman with cabinet status and that the appointment was revocable only by the same conglomeration of MLAs “and not by Dr.Shürzhozelie, who is a minority chief minister with the support of only 10 MLAs and awaiting his own exit.” Merentoshi also asked Dr. Shürhozelie not to overlook the democratic system by doing as he like because of his greed to hang on to power with support of minority MLAs. Hitting out at Dr. Shürhozelie, Merentoshi said it was surprising that while Dr. Shürhozelie claimed to be “a Christian to the core”, he chose Sunday (July 9) to “commit evil acts of dispossessing his own party MLAs of their portfolios as ministers, parliamentary secretaries, advisors and chairmen.”

Merentoshi also accused Dr. Shürhozelie of withdrawing vehicles, security and official bungalows and displayed “his sense of vengeance not a forte of a Christian.”

IPFT begins indefinite blockade movement for separate state

Indigenous People Front of Tripura and other tribal wings protest in Khamtingbari area to demand a separate state- Tipraland on Monday. (PTI) Agartala, Jul 10 (Agencies): Road and rail traffic was affected in Tripura on Monday as the Indigeneous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) party leaders and supporters launched an indefinite blockade for Tipraland statehood.

The IPFT is demanding carving out Tipraland state from the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council at Khumulwung in West district, about 23 km from state capital Agartala.

“The blockade is a part of our long-standing state-

hood demand. Our movement will be peaceful,” said IPFT chief NC Debbarma.

The IPFT had carried out a 24-hour blockade of NH-8 and railways last year to press for Tipraland. The IPFT claims the indigenous community has seen little development under the Left Front government, which chief minister Manik Sarkar has been heading uninterrupted since 1998.

Police stepped up security at Khamting in Barmura Range of National Highway 8 (NH-8), where IPFT activ-

ists launched the blockade at 6am. The highway connects Tripura to the rest of the country through Assam.

Railway authorities decided to terminate the Sealdah- Agartala Kanchanjungha Express at Badarpur following the strike. Rail passengers faced even more trouble as several trains in Assam were disrupted due to a ‘rail roko’ agitation called by All Assam Koch Rajbanshi Students’ Union.

Vehicles stayed off NH-8 and no violence was reported from the blockade

M’laya women panel summons DGC secy S h i llo n g, J u l 1 0 (PTI): Meghalaya State Women’s Commission Monday summoned the secretary of Delhi Golf Club, following a petition by Tailin Lyngdoh, who was ousted from the posh club because of her traditional attire last month.

“We have summoned the secretary of the club to depose before the Commission on July 14,” State Women’s Commission chairperson Theilin Phanbuh told reporters here.

She said that the Commission acted on a complaint made by Lyngdoh, a governess, who accused the club and its members of allowing racial profiling of people in its premises which tantamount to racial discrimination of tribal people, a punishable offence.

On June 25, staffers of Delhi Golf Club had asked

Lyngdoh, an invited guest, to leave a dining room because her traditional Khasi attire ‘jainsem’ looked like a “maid’s uniform”.

Lyngdoh along with her employer Dr Nivedita Borthakur Sondhi deposed before the Commission today.

Phanbuh said, “Lyngdoh was humiliated by the club. We will support her in her struggle against such racial profiling as it is against the Constitution of our country.”

“We want strong actions be taken to ensure that such incident do not take place in future,” she said.

Stating that since the PMO has also taken note of the incident apart from the National Commission for Women, Phanbuh said the National Commission for Schedule Tribes and the National Commission

for Human Rights has also been petitioned.

Borthakur said Tailin was part of the nine other guests at the Golf Club but she was singled out because of the jainsem she was wearing and her looks apparently.

“The Club has such policy and allows racial profiling of people based on their looks. Mere action against the manager of the club will not suffice as the policies are anti-people,” she said.

Justice (retired) Mukul Mudgal will head a committee, set up by the club, to look into Lyngoh’s case.

Borthakur, however, said, “How can they inquire against their own people and the policies of the club?

We do not recognise this committee but will surely cooperate with an independent inquiry.”

site. The Left Front government slammed the IPFT. CPM state secretary Bijan Dhar said the Tipraland demand was not democratic.

“The IPFT is losing importance in the hill areas and their Tipraland movement is a desperate attempt to hold on. We oppose the stir and urge them to withdraw it.”

Dhar added, “IPFT leaders met DoNER (Development of North Eastern Region) minister Jitendra Singh, who is also minister of state in Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), in May and then announced the blockade. It is clear that the BJP is backing them.”

The IPFT dismissed the CPM allegation that the BJP was supporting its statehood movement. The IPFT has indicated it will withdraw the blockade if the Centre agrees to call for either a bipartite or tripartite meeting to consider its statehood demand, among others. Last month, the IPFT had extended support to the Gorkhaland movement and held rallies. Most parties in Tripura, including other indigenous groups, have opposed the blockade. The dissident faction of IPFT led by Rajeswar Debbarma described the blockade as a “conspiracy to help the CPM”.

Close Bru camps if they refuse to return: MHA adviser

Aizawl, Jul 10 (PTI): The six Bru relief camps in Tripura should be closed and assistance provided to the inmates there should be stopped if the Brus continue to refuse to return to Mizoram, an adviser of the Ministry of Home Affairs said.

An official release here said that Ministry of Home Affairs Adviser (North East) M K Singla expressed this opinion while meeting Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla.

However, this is his personal opinion, the release said. The MHA and the Mizoram government had made a number of plans to repatriate the Brus from Tripura since 2009.

However, a number of Bru families refused to return to Mizoram and the

started patrolling in boats, specially during night, with the help of other agencies like Assam Police and Special Task Force to save the animals from poachers.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, july 11, 2017

Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum, the apex body of the Bru refugees in the relief camps, continued to make fresh and series of demands till date.

Singla proposed that a time-bound repatriation process should be undertaken to ensure that all the Brus return to Mizoram from the relief camps.

He alleged that some Bru leaders have been misguiding the inmates of the relief camps.

Brus migrated en masse to Tripura after Bru militants gunned down a forest guard inside the Dampa Tiger Reserve on October 21, 1997 and many of them remained in the relief camps while hundreds of families have returned during government-sponsored repatriation and also on their own will.

Dorphang, who is supporting the ruling Congressled Meghalaya United Alliance government has also been appointed as Committee on Subordinate Legislation headed by Nationalist Congress Party legislator, Sanbor Shullai.

The other members include Saleng Sangma, United Democratic Party legislator Titosstarwell Chyne and Hill State People’s Democratic Party legislator Phlastingwell Pangniang.

The powerful Civil Society Women’s Organisation (CSWO) has strongly opposed the appointment of Dorphang as members in the Assembly panels.

“We strongly oppose this appointment... is this what Meghalaya government awarding the alleged rapist instead of speeding up justice for the victim,” CSWO president Agnes Kharshiing said.

E a r l i e r t h i s ye a r, M e g ha l aya Po l ic e ha s chargesheeted Dorphang and five others in connection with a case of human trafficking and sexual abuse of the minor girl. Dorphang has been chargesheeted under Section 5(c)/(1)/6 of the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 for “committing aggravated penetrative sexual assault by a public servant and committing the same more than once”.

Law panel recommends on certifying farmed chickens

it affects the consumer food quality standard”.

It said that currently there are no statutory regulations to prescribe the standard, quality and quantity of food for poultry in India which leads to rampant use of antibiotics in the poultry feed.

The Commission had invited suggestions on the issue. One such suggestion received from Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, pointed out that many Indians suffer from antibiotic resistance. It claimed that it is proven that non-therapeutic antibiotics given to poultry cause such resistance and that such antibiotics are given to poultry because their living conditions are cramped and unhygienic.

Modi urges states to share experiences

New Delhi, Jul 10 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday asked states to learn from the best practices of each other to find solutions to problems and challenges that they face.

At a conference organised by the NITI Aayog here, the Prime Minister said there is a lot to learn from the experiences of states “which could provide the best solutions to problems and challenges”.

He said top government officials have the collective vision and capabilities to overcome challenges.

“In this regard, ex-

Narendra Modi perience sharing is very important,” he added.

Before addressing the gathering of chief secretaries of all states, the Prime Minister listened patiently to each one of them as they spoke briefly on one best practice in each of their

respective states.

“This is the first time, that the Prime Minister has addressed such a gathering, at such an event. He spent over two-and-a-half hours listening to each Chief Secretary and then shared his views with them,” NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant told reporters.

The best practices presented at the conference included themes such as rural development, skill development, crop insurance, reducing infant mortality, tribal welfare, solid waste management, Direct Benefit Transfer, solar energy and ease of doing business among others, a NITI Aayog statement said.

“For generations, we have been successful in protecting environment through these solutions.

Cong quizzes Govt on lack of a full-time Defence Minister

New Delhi, July 10 (IANS): Amidst its flip-flop on party Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s meeting with the Chinese envoy, the Congress on Monday questioned why the country does not have a full-time Defence Minister during the time of a sensitive security situation like the present border stand-off.

“As so far as India’s position is concerned we have consistently and unequivocally backed any position taken in national interest.

However, there can be a divergence on how a particular matter should be handled.

“A s a r e s p o n s i b l e national party, we are extremely concerned because there seems to be almost a two-front situation developing and it is unfortunate

that in the last 38 months for a substantive period of time, India has not had a full-time Defence Minister,” said Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari.

“The PM needs to answer these questions that when you have a sensitive security situation as defined in the words of spokespersons and senior ministers of the government, why does India do not have a full-time Defence Minister.

“Probably the Finance Minister (Arun Jaitley) is competent to bat on two fronts - North Block and South Block. But a two-front situation may prove to be different,” he added.

On Rahul Gandhi’s meeting with Chinese Ambassador Luo Zhaohui, Tewari said: “In this par-

ticular instance, he did meet with the Chinese ambassador, he also met with the Bhutanese ambassador, he did meet with the former National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon.”

The party also mounted an attack on the government, asking why so much of brouhaha was being made about the meeting while Modi went out of the way to meet Xi in his hotel in Hamburg.

“If so much of a brouhaha is being made about it then why did Prime Minister Narendra Modi actually cross Lake Alster and go to Grand Elysee Hotel to meet with the Chinese President, specially after the Chinese had made it known that a structured bilateral meeting is not possible because of the stand off.”

Vijay Mallya argue on the quantum of punishment.

The offence of contempt of court entails a maximum imprisonment of up to six months or a fine of upto Rs 2,000 or both.

India had recently asked Britain to ensure early extradition of Mallya, who is an accused in a bank loan default case of over Rs 9,000 crore involving his defunct Kingfisher Airlines.

The apex court’s order

had come on a plea by the consortium of banks, led by the State Bank of India (SBI), which had said that Mallya had allegedly transferred $40 million received from British firm Diageo to his children in “flagrant violation” of various judicial orders.

The banks had argued before the court that Mallya had wilfully disobeyed the orders and made “vague” disclosure about his assets.

The top court had on March 9 asked the liquor baron about the “truthfulness” of the disclosure of assets by him and the transfer of money to his children.

The bench had reserved its order on two pleas of lending banks seeking contempt action and a direction to Mallya to deposit $40 million received from offshore firm Diageo respectively.

Six Amarnath pilgrims killed in Kashmir

Anantnag, Jul 10 (IANS): Six Amarnath pilgrims were killed and 12 others injured, including policemen, on Monday when a bus of yatris was caught in a cross fire between militants and a police party in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantang district, police said.

Inspector General of Police Munir Khan confirmed the toll and said 12 others were injured, including security men.

Nandakumar (WB), July 10 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today accused the Centre of smuggling in foreigners from across the international border to perpetrate violence the state.

Banerjee asserted that the international border was for the Central government to look after, but the Centre instead was “opening the gates and letting outsiders enter the country to conspire and cause violence.”

“You (Centre) had opened up the border and let them enter the state and now you are asking the state to submit report. It’s because we are in the government

that we have been able to keep the people calm despite such conspiracy against us,” she claimed. “Both the central and state governments are elected by the people. Then why is the central government conspiring against a state government?

Senior minister in the Mehbooba Mufti-led government Nayeem Akhtar termed the attack a “dark patch in the history of Kashmir”.

National Conference leader Omar Abdullah was quick to react and said: “The attack cannot be condemned strongly enough.”

Rallies and protest marches in Darjeeling Darjeeling (WB), Jul 10 (PTI): Several rallies and protest marches were held in various parts of Darjeeling today as the indefinite strike in the hills demanding a separate state entered its 26th day.

There have been no reports of violence since last night. However, vigil has been increased outside all police stations, camps and outposts to prevent attacks by pro-Gorkhaland supporters, officials said.

Police and security forces are patrolling the streets and keeping a watch on entry and exit routes to ward off any trouble.

Suppor ters of various political parties in their traditional dress took out processions demanding a separate Gorkhaland state.

healthy farming of hens in cage free environment and the produce obtained from battery cage farming,” the law panel said in its 269th report titled “Transportation and House-keeping of Egg-laying Hens and Broiler Chickens” released last week.

“Towards this end, certification by the animal husbandry departments of the states, recognising that the poultry farms follow the practice of cage-free egg farming, is desirable.

This would enable the consumer to select the produce obtained from healthy farming,” it said.

The Law Commission stressed that the chickens’ feed must be nutrient rich and “devoid of antibiotics as

Apart from the report, the Commission has also drafted separate prevention of cruelty to animals rules for egg-laying hens and broiler chickens.

As per draft rules, antibiotics, “including coccidiostats, shall not be administered”. If the antibiotics have to be administered for therapeutic purposes, it should be done only under supervision of a veterinarian.

The r ules also bar poultry farmers to administer growth promoters to chickens.

The law panel also felt that the penal provisions in the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (PCA Act), 1960, need to be revised.

“The PCA Act 1960 largely suffers from weak penal provisions. While the penal provisions pertaining to fine in the Act may have been a sufficient deterrent in 1960, those provisions have lost their significance due to inflation,” it said. “...The penal provisions in the said Act are required to be revised suitably. While keeping in view both the health and welfare of the people and the avoidance of pain and suffering of animals, punishment for all offences under the Act need to be appropriately revised,” the Commission has recommended.

Lalu checkmated

or Lalu Prasad Yadav, the man who brought peels of laughter within the hallowed portals of the Lok Sabha and beyond; it has probably dawned upon him, that while he laughed, the world laughed with him but when he cries, he would cry alone. The rustic politician for Chapra, Bihar has been off and on under the radar of the CBI which has probed the fodder scam when it erupted in 1996 when he was the chief minister(1990-1997). The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked former Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejaswi and others for alleged corruption in the award of a contract for managing two railway hotels. The FIRs came after a series of raids conducted at the premises of Lalu’s family members in Patna, Delhi etc. The contracts were awarded to a Patna-based private company, Sujata Hotels, allegedly in lieu of a threeacre plot of land. The land was later acquired by Lalu’s family, the CBI alleged. The raids on the premises of Lalu and his family members have been attributed to the BJP and which is also not difficult to believe. Lalu has been the most vocal critic of the BJP and especially Modi. Lalu is the typical Bihari dada who thinks he has a divine right to rule his state. Ahead of a major political rally in Patna, the RJD chief has been put on the defensive. Lalu Prasad may be the direct, easy target, the not-so-hidden agenda is to make it difficult for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to continue his political partnership with a perceived corrupt leadership. The issue on which Nitish Kumar had snapped ties with the BJP – the leadership of Narendra Modi – is still alive. But Nitish’s recent gestures do indicate a change of heart. The BJP in Bihar has been hard at work in trying to create a wedge between Lalu’s RJD and Nitish Kumar both alliances partners of the Mahagathbandhan government, where Congress is also a partner. Lalu is certainly not a model of virtue nor a victim of being a Yadav rustic; he is a cunning politician who has remodeled Bihar into a personal fiefdom.

That the BJP is gunning for Lalu may seem like nonsense but it makes political strategic sense in the light of a national determination of ModiShah duo to work out ways to retain power at the Centre in the 2019 elections by a bigger margin.

For Lalu Prasad and his family it is a battle for political survival since a conviction would mean an end of the road for most in the family. Already because of a conviction in the fodder scam Lalu Prasad stands barred from contesting elections.

It will be an uphill task for Lalu to build a credible alternative narrative about their collective innocence. It is not uncommon for every out-ofpower leader to take the moral high ground of being victims of “political vendetta” when cornered for corruption. In India, it is not unusual for any ruling government to use central agencies to settle political scores but in this, the BJP has probably scored over others. Based on this, it may be said that it’s all fair in love and politics and that is what the BJP may be thinking.

DailyDevotion The Spiritually Lazy Saint Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together… —Hebrews 10:24-25 We are all capable of being spiritually lazy saints. We want to stay off the rough roads of life, and our primary objective is to secure a peaceful retreat from the world.

The ideas put forth in these verses from Hebrews 10 are those of stirring up one another and of keeping ourselves together. Both of these require initiative— our willingness to take the first step toward Christ-realization, not the initiative toward self-realization. To live a distant, withdrawn, and secluded life is diametrically opposed to spirituality as Jesus Christ taught it.

The true test of our spirituality occurs when we come up against injustice, degradation, ingratitude, and turmoil, all of which have the tendency to make us spiritually lazy. While being tested, we want to use prayer and Bible reading for the purpose of finding a quiet retreat. We use God only for the sake of getting peace and joy. We seek only our enjoyment of Jesus Christ, not a true realization of Him. This is the first step in the wrong direction. All these things we are seeking are simply effects, and yet we try to make them causes.

“Yes, I think it is right,” Peter said, “…to stir you up by reminding you…” (2 Peter 1:13). It is a most disturbing thing to be hit squarely in the stomach by someone being used of God to stir us up— someone who is full of spiritual activity. Simple active work and spiritual activity are not the same thing. Active work can actually be the counterfeit of spiritual activity. The real danger in spiritual laziness is that we do not want to be stirred up— all we want to hear about is a spiritual retirement from the world. Yet Jesus Christ never encourages the idea of retirement— He says, “Go and tell My brethren…” (Matthew 28:10).

Post-mortem Comparative analysis of NLA members and Drink, drank, drunk the educated unemployed in Nagaland

eople are not addicted to alcohol or drugs, they are addicted to escaping reality.”

Introduction:Almost everybody knows an alcoholic or has one for a relative. We are not innocent about the scars burned into the nation’s heart and bounty by the misuse of alcohol.

All of us who counsel in any capacity will sooner or later become involved, at least indirectly, in the problem, with alcoholics themselves or with affected members of their families or colleagues at work. A pervasive smog of stress arises from alcoholic problems. Difficulties with drinking involve many persons besides the drinkers, multiplying stress manifold. The aura of alcoholism encompasses a cluster of people, invading each with a different intensity of emotion. Although some counsellors never meet an alcoholic face-to-face, almost every day they get the whiff of some alcoholic’s breath in the life of at least one of the persons seeking help from them. The person across from us may be a spouse or an adult still unable to pull free of the shadow cast across their lives by an alcoholic parent. The marks, the memories, and the stresses of problem drinkers are found almost everywhere in our culture. In recent years, the problem of alcohol use and abuse has become more amenable to study. Against a background of increased cultural concern and a better sense of the problem’s dimensions and sequelae, research instruments have been fashioned to measure agreed-upon criteria to diagnose the various levels of severity of what are now termed “substance-related disorders”. As a result, remarkable strides have been made in assessing the international public health dimensions of alcohol use.

The things we carry with us: For counsellors, counter transference problems with alcoholics seeking help frequently arise as responses to transference reactions of theirs that crackle with rebelliousness, dishonesty, or aggression.

These feelings may also emanate from our lack of knowledge about alcoholism

Nagaland Post, Dimapur

hat is a Gaonbura?

A Gaonbura is an Assamese word meaning a village (gaon) Bura (old man); which signifies a village elder who is, supposedly, wise in the ways of the world, and knowledgeable of the customs and laws of the village and the people. We Nagas have used this term to encompass all the decision making members of the villages of the many tribes and people that inhabit Nagaland. In our stupidity, we have also appointed Gaonburas to all the localities of all the townships in Nagaland. A Gaonbura of a locality in a town is a contradiction in terms (an oxymoron if you will); but let us leave this topic for another day.

The primary purpose of a G.B., in Nagaland, is to govern a village or locality according to accepted customs and to aid governmental agencies in the course of their duty, and in accordance with the laws of the land. The recent petition of the G.B.’s Association of Chumukedima, requesting the police not to entertain the First Information Report filed by the A.C.A.U.T. against the Block Development Officer and the minions of the office of the B.D.O., Chumukedima, is not only stupid, but against the law. We Nagas have to understand that:-

and its treatment or our own experiences with alcohol as a problem in our own lives, families, or friendships.As counsellors we always profit from examining our own feelings about alcohol and alcoholic persons. Some trauma close to the bone can make it very difficult for us to be sympathetic to, or even interested in, persons with drinking problems. We may rule out working with them because we find them morally objectionable. None of us can be of much assistance to individual with drinking problems if we have within us serious emotional blocks to the basic acceptance of these individuals as persons.

Many helpers function with a smattering of general impressions about alcoholism.

They may not have read much or they may habitually respond out of instinct when they must deal with the problem. Such styles may be improvisation in reaction to the difficulties involved in getting a comprehensive and useful clinical picture of the alcoholic person. Nonetheless, we have a professional obligation to deepen our understanding through reading or by attending continuing education programme on the subject.

The basic principle in counselling is to keep the person, rather than just the person’s problem with alcohol, in focus. Many counsellors find it almost impossible to perceive such individuals as persons. The problem itself looms so large – and with such an unpleasant emotional aura – that compassion does not easily arise and establishing a helping relationship is difficult.

It is easy to perceive a person with drinking difficulties as a problem case even when we intellectually agree that alcoholism is a disease rather than a personal fault.

The effort to see drinkers as persons beneath all their disruptive and abhorrent behaviour remains, however, fundamental if counselling is to succeed.Counsellors may also have negative feelings about individuals with alcoholism because of the chronic relapsing nature of the illness. Professionals as well as nonprofessional counsellors can easily become frustrated and irritated at the individual’s inability

1. No gover nment in the world has any money, nor is any government formed to make money.

The government gets money from the public taxpayer.

The taxpayer pays taxes with the understanding that the government will provide him security and the proper infrastructure so that he is free to lead his life with a measure of safety and comfort. We Nagas of Nagaland do not pay Income Taxes so we think that it is the government that gives us money and thus government servants are free to deduct any amount they want.

This is not so, every paisa we receive comes from the hard earned income of the Indian Taxpayer. The Indian Taxpayer pays his taxes to the Indian Government, which in turn allocates a certain sum to the Nagaland Government to maintain and develop Nagaland. The Government of Nagaland is nothing more than a glorified, “Dalal” (to use the Indian vernacular). The government servants are paid to use the money properly, not to deduct it. Our Legislators are elected to pass laws and to ensure that the money that the Indian Taxpayer gives us is utilised in the best way possible, (but they seem to be too busy camping in Kaziranga amidst the wild animals, where, in my opinion, they rightly belong).

to maintain sobriety and identify with family members who express some of the same feelings.

A Core Difficulty: Despite advances in our recent understanding of alcoholism, many still perceive the alcoholic as an individual who makes a conscious decision to drink too much.

They view alcoholics, in other words, as sinners, moral failures who choose their own uncomfortable fate. They judge them to be responsible for deciding to stop and to pull themselves free of the pit into which they threw themselves. Such people think themselves wise when they say, “Nothing can be done until they decide to do something for themselves.” At another level, it is recognized that an essential characteristic of alcoholism is that these persons can’t control their choices about drinking.

Much, however, can be done. Counsellors should know that the most successful alcoholism programmes are those that reach out to alcoholics rather than wait for alcoholics to come to them. Persons with drinking problems can respond to family interventions and to treatment when it is offered to them. Helpers should not construct an attitude that traps them into a role of waiting for alcoholics to prove that they are ready to get better. They should be ready to support families or friends in planning and carrying out interventions to get alcoholics into treatment.

Conclusion: Counsellors frequently function best if they are part of a treatment team. Joining in effort to reach out to the potential alcoholic is one of the most promising functions that a counsellor can fulfil. This goes against the instincts of many counsellors, however, because they may expect, because of some previous experience, to wait for, rather than seek out, persons who need help. Some participation in a team that recognizes the effectiveness of moving out toward the potential alcoholic at an important time should not be underestimated.

I

f my assumption is right, and many share my assumption, the constant fight among the elected legislators is a fight for portfolios in the government.

This has come about because, and I hope my assumption is right again, there are too many elected legislatures and too less portfolios. In Economics terms, the demand (for portfolios) is more than the supply (the portfolios being constant).Since the portfolios are constant, or near constant because many posts of advisors are created, what has happened is drastic competition among the legislators. If there are other means by which the legislators can be lawfully and satisfactorily employed, employed as in being engaged in other works related to the government where they can be satisfied, then the issue of fighting for portfolios won’t arise (extreme care is being repeated to give the assumption that the fight is symptomatic i.e. less portfolios and no viable means of employment outside of present governance).

Now, turn this scenario to the case of the Naga Educated Unemployed Youth.

Just like legislators eligible for fixed portfolios have increased, so has the number of Naga educated youth well qualified for the ‘government’ jobs in Nagaland. The portfolios have been almost constant so has the number of posts year after year which has been almost constant. Different positions have been created to accommodatethe elected members as much as possible. The same has been the case with the educated youth in Nagaland where jobs have been created under different categories such as contract, substitute, proxy etc. to accommodate the unemployed.

Another resemblance is the high cost the elected members pay to get elected.

The Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) to Higher Education in the country is one of the lowest in Nagaland which probably is because of the high cost of higher education in the form of college fees. Elected members are expected to recover the costs of elections by getting good portfolios; so are the educated youth in Nagaland who are expected to get good jobs. Nagaland ministers are dependent on the generosity of the central government in the form of subsidies, I mean, let’s be frank, of all the states in the country, the state receives the highest proportion of revenue vis-à-vis to its budget from the central government.

Unfortunately, due to fiscal prudence measures being carried out by the central government, the subsidies over the years are given with more care. In other words, the funding has relatively decreased. This puts the elected members in a tight spot.

Keen readers will already perceive that scholarships given to students, which is a form of subsidy, face troubles every year.

Come September and the issue of scholarship will be all over the place.

One pressure which the elected members face is that they are expected to give jobs to those who seek their help. “Where there is a will, there are 500 relatives” goes a quip. In Nagaland, that is translated as “where there is an elected member, there

2. Indian laws are based on the British model, not the American model.

The difference lies in the fact that under the American Judicial System, the parties to the dispute can arrive at any compromise, on any issue, provided that all parties to the dispute are amenable to it.

But under the British Model, if a crime has been committed, even if the victim and offender are willing to compromise, the police can still choose to prosecute the offender. So, the question of the Police entertaining the petition of the G.B.’s Association of Chumukedima does not arise. The money does not belong to the G.Bs. The money belongs to the people of Chumukedima. So, the parties to the dispute are the officials of the R.D. Department at Chumukedima and the people of Chumukedima. The only locus standi (right/capacity to bring an action/appear in court) the G.B.s have is as ordinary citizens of Chumukedima.

The G.B.s Association, in reality, is liable to prosecution for obstruction of justice.

3. It is the duty of every citizen of India to report any instance of violation of laws; even to the extent of making a, “Citizen’s Arrest”, in the absence of the Law Enforcement Agencies.

So A.C.A.U.T. or any of its

members, or anyone else, for that matter, is entitled to file an F.I.R. on any matter where there is a perceived instance of violation of the law. And the Police are duty bound to register such cases.

Why does it always have to be A.C.A.U.T? We seem to have hundreds of thousands of unions, associations and organisations. The N.B.C.C. seems to think that if Nagas stop drinking alcohol and refrain from taking money for votes during elections, Nagaland will turn into a heaven on earth. If those in the Church hierarchy wish to interfere in temporal matters, instead of sticking to spiritual matters, here is another chance for you to speak out. Speak out now, or forever hold your silence on all matters of the flesh.

And I ask all citizens of Nagaland to demand that the union, association or organisation that you belong to speak out against this all pervasive corruption that is rotting the flesh off the bones of Nagaland.

I am grateful that God gave the Sumis the wisdom to pass the resolution to uphold our traditional address of “Kukamis” in place of G.B.s and “Akukau” in place of G.B. I would advise the other Naga Tribes to follow suit. The Konyaks should revert to their “Anghs” and

are 50’000 relatives.” Now, the elected members who do not have a portfolio will say, “This guy is understanding us now. We are expected to give jobs and without a portfolio, how much can an elected member do? This is why we fight for portfolios.” This view has a naïve assumption that the uneducated youth do not face any such pressure from the kith and kin to search jobs. While the elected members at least have a position of being an elected member, the educated unemployed youth do not hold such position and the pressure of not having a job and being asked to search a job for someone is like, well, it’s like being ask to lend when you need to borrow.

The elected members, while they have much work to do in their constituencies, prefer portfolios because the system in Nagaland is such that an elected member cannot do much without holding one. The educated youth can take other forms of employment however prefer government jobs because the system is such that one cannot do much without holding one.

I mean, education seems to be the only functioning industry, apart from real estate, and one cannot be expected to be paid very less teaching in colleges and schools. A graduate teacher is paid as less as 3000 per month, may be even lower.

It is not feasible to be employed in other employments except the government sector (remember the education cost where e.g. the father’s field has been sold to finance higher education).

Squabbles among the elected members have reached such a point that the present scenario is seen as a crisis. The case of the educated unemployed youth has been in a crisis for a long time.The already existing competition for portfolios may have been exacerbated by the entry of someone who went outside of the state and came again. There is a huge competition for jobs from youth who goes outside the state for education and come back home for employment adding to the already crowded unemployed.

There is one primary difference: While the elected members can goto Kaziranga, Niathu Resort, Chief Minister’s Residences (whichever) many times in five years, the educated unemployed cannot even go to Kohima for a protest gathering because that would be too costly. Another difference is that if sixty elected leaders are fighting for ten portfolios, that makes it a ratio of 6:1. In 2016, for the NPSC exam, 13’593 candidates applied for 73 posts making it a ratio of 186:1 which means an elected member is 31 times more likely to get a portfolio than an unemployed getting a job through NPSC which also means that we have to sympathize for the educated unemployed more than we sympathize for the elected members without a portfolio.

The issue of the educated unemployed needs more space than is currently given.

the other Naga Tribes may use the Ao “Tatar”, or their separate traditional terms to designate their village decision making elders. There have been too many G.B.s appointed by the government in too many places, on nothing more than political and nepotistic grounds, for the title to hold any respect in the eyes of the people.

I was always ashamed of our politicians, theologians, bureaucrats and “Freedom Fighters”; now the G.B.s As-

sociation of Chumukedima have given me another reason to be ashamed of being a Naga. We have become a land of headless chickens, running helter skelter, with no purpose and no clue as to what to do or where to head.

Just a few years back, when we had the first opposition less government, hopes were high that at last we were going to witness some changes in our society (read developmental activities). As it turned out, we are witnessing the worst phase in the history of Nagaland Politics.

It has become difficult for a government to last even six months - a new low indeed. A sorry state of affair and unbecoming of a Christian State.

The lack of maturity, principle, ideology and vision shown by our leaders is indeed a disturbing trend, which sends a wrong message to our society, especially the younger generation. The lust for power and chair has never been so clearly demonstrated, as it has in present times.

Changing sides at every given opportunity for whatever little personal gain, is the newest mantra and Kaziranga the place to be, when in crisis. If this be the path our leaders are paving for our generations to follow, then God forbid, our future is bleak. And just like the one horned rhino, honest politicians will be almost extinct in our land.

that the Central Bureau of Investigation should probe recent incidents of desecration of religious places in Goa. “I demand CBI inquiry into desecration of religious places. Whether it is a religious structure of Christians, Muslims or Hindus, such attacks cannot be tolerated,” Goa Congress chief Shantaram Naik said here.

He was speaking to reporters after meeting state Director General of Police Muktesh Chandar.

Police department is capable of investigating these cases but is likely to get “pressurised”, Naik claimed.

“The CBI, being a neutral agency, would be able to investigate these cases better,” the Congress leader said.

Opposition likely to announce joint VP candidate on Tuesday New Delhi, Jul 10 (Agencies): The opposition is likely to announce the name of a joint candidate for the vice presidential polls following a strategy meeting of all opposition parties at Parliament library on Tuesday.

Though Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has already recused himself from Tuesday’s 11am meeting, JDU MPs Sharad Yadav and KC Tyagi will remain present, making it a coming together of 18 political parties.

Sources in the Left told TOI that while the opposition has not formalised the name of any vice presidential candidate as yet, there is already a broad consensus on two things; one, that

after Meira Kumar’s nomination as presidential candidate, no person affiliated with the Congress should be nominated as the joint VP candidate. There is also a consensus that with time running out, the opposition parties should announce the name of their VP candidate even though the NDA government has not, as yet, announced the name of its own VP nominee. The Left has also indicated that it remains committed to contesting the polls even though the numbers will be stacked in favour of the NDA nominee. A senior Left leader said they are even willing to consider a candidate who has no political affiliation.

During the month-long back and forth over identifying a joint presidential candidate, the Left parties had pressed for an early announcement of candidature in order to keep the opposition flock together. Senior leaders said that the opposition rift - in a last minute decision, the JDU decided to back NDA’s presidential nominee Ram Nath Kovind - could have been avoided if all parties had agreed to announce their joint candidate before the government did.

Sections within the opposition did not rule out on Monday evening the possibility of suggesting Prakash Ambedkar’s name for vice president.

Raju said that the commission had taken suo-motu cognisance of the case after several newspapers published the reports.

Hours after the Congress demanded a CBI inquiry into the series of desecrations of religious places, deputy speaker Michael Lobo said if police cannot crack the case, the matter should be handed over to the CBI. Lobo said he will soon meet chief minister Manohar Parrikar and raise the issue with him.

“I will be meeting Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar once he is back from the US and demand that if the police are not able to crack the case, then the matter should be handed over to the CBI,” Lobo told reporters today.

“Goa police have failed completely to crack the case. They are completely clueless. I feel, police are not working in the right direction,” he said.

Continuing the spate of desecrations, unknown miscreants last night attacked a cemetery in South Goa’s Curchorem village vandalising around 50 gravestones.

“I am here to condemn continuous attacks on religious places. People of all religions are living in Goa with peace and harmony,” Lobo said.

“There are some outside elements, like some individuals or groups or organisations that have entered our peace loving state and are trying to disturb the communal harmony,” the BJP MLA said.

the Naval Exercise off the coast of Chennai.

Responding to a query whether the exercise had anything to do with the standoff in Sikkim, Indian Flag Officer, Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command, HCS Bisht said, “it has nothing to do with Malabar Exercise.”

“The process of Malabar exercise starts a year before (its scheduled beginning) and the initial planning takes place six months in advance. The stand-off you are talking about has got nothing to do with the Malabar exercise. Through this exercise we learn from each other,” he said.

Bisht reiterated that the joint naval exercise would focus on the “mutual learning,” “sharing of best practices” and enhancing the “inter-operability” among the three countries.

As many as 95 aircraft, 16 ships and two submarines from the three countries are taking part in the Naval exercise, an Indian official said.

It also comes amid the current military standoff between the armies of India and China in the Sikkim section and Beijing ramping up its naval presence in the South China sea.

“I would like to say that the strategic message to China is the exact strategic message that we are sending to Canada or to Republic of Korea or to Australia or to any other maritime force,” US Navy Commander Rear Admiral William D Byrne Jr said when asked by newsmen whether the exercise was intended to send any “strategic message” to China.

“Operating together and practising together is a good thing. It is because -- we are better together and we learn from each other.

We know who we are and what is our capability. That is the strategic message to the entire world. I think, we are setting a great example here in Malabar (exercise) 2017,” he told reporters after the inauguration of

Panaji, July 10 (PTI): Goa Agriculture Minister Vijai Sardesai today said those involved in recent incidents of desecrating holy crosses should be “treated as terrorists and shot at site.”

The minister made the statement amid a spate of attacks on religious symbols since early this month. At least nine crosses and a temple have been defiled since July 1 in several areas in South Goa district.

Last night, several gravestones in a Christian cemetery in Curchorem town were allegedly vandalised by unidentified persons.

“Those who desecrate Holy crosses are terrorists.

This is an act of terrorism.

We should treat them like terrorists. You don’t go with arrest warrants to catch terrorists. You shoot them at site. Here also, those who are involved in such acts should be shot,” said Sardesai, who is the mentor of the Goa Forward Party (GFP) which is one of the alliance partners in the BJP-led state government.

The minister, however, refrained from criticising the police who have so far failed to achieve any breakthrough.

“Such things never happened in Goa and hence they are not able to detect these cases,” said Sardesai in defence of police.

O n - b o a r d IN S Jalashwa, JUL 10 (AGENCIES): India, Japan and the US on Monday kicked off their trilateral ‘Malabar’ naval exercise featuring 95 aircraft, 16 ships and two submarines, seeking to forge “deeper” military ties amid growing Chinese assertiveness in the region.

USS Nimitz, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, will figure in the fiveday exercise in the Bay of Bengal involving the US, Japanese and Indian maritime forces that is aimed at “achieving deeper military ties between the three nations.”

The 21st edition of the Malabar exercise, conducted ashore and at-sea, assumes significance as it is being held at a time when China has become more assertive and the forays by their submarines in the Indian Ocean region have increased. China has stepped up its activities in the Indian Ocean in recent years and is building ports in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh

Collectively the value of the demonetised notes was put at close to Rs 17.5 lakh crore and accounted for more than 85% of the currency in circulation.

In the months following the dramatic announcement, there was a growing perception that an unexpectedly high amount of demonetised notes has flown back to the banking system — with the holders either choosing to deposit undisclosed cash to pay tax and come clean, or launder cash using the services of an overburdened banking system.

Thus, to freeze the liability (as on June 30, which is the year-end for RBI), the central bank has to add the lower currency notes which were not demonetised to the newly printed currency (through remonetisation that followed the note ban) and net it with the currency that were returned to banks and RBI.

New Delhi, Jul 10 (Agencies): Non-vegetarian food for economy class passengers aboard Air India’s domestic flights will now be a thing of the past.

According to Hindustan Times, the national carrier has stopped serving non-vegetarian food in the economy class for all flights in the domestic sector with immediate effect.

The move is seen as one of the many cost cutting measures adopted by the company facing a debt of around Rs 55,000 crore.

However, non-vegetarian food will continue to be served for passengers in the business and first class.

“We have made it veg only to reduce both wastage and cost,” Air India chairman and managing director Aswani Lohani told Hindustan Times.

Air India sources said the latest move is an extension of a December 2015 order, which stopped nonvegetarian food in under 90 minute duration flights.

“It will be wrong to call it a ban. We have stopped serving non-vegetarian food in the economy class. We had stopped it for flights under 90 minutes duration.

This will now be spread to all flights,” said a senior AI official in Delhi.

Airline sources said the move will also ensure that vegetarian and nonvegetarian food do not get mixed up.

Iraqi troops fight to clear IS from last patch of Mosul

MOSUL, JUL 10 (AGENCIES): Iraqi forces were still battling Islamic State militants in a small area of Mosul on Monday, a day after the prime minister visited to congratulate the troops on retaking nearly all of Iraq’s second largest city.

Brig. Gen. Haider Fadhil of the Iraqi special forces said that even after the militants are defeated in the last pocket under their control, Iraqi forces will need to carry out clearing operations to root out sleeper cells and defuse booby traps. Iraqi commanders believe hundreds of IS fighters remain inside the group’s last enclave and are using their families — including women and children — as human shields in a fight to the death.

Humvees could be seen racing out of the Old City on Monday, ferrying wounded soldiers to field hospitals.

He said most civilians left in the Old City are believed to be IS family members. “But we will not accuse them of anything,” he said.

“if they don’t carry weapons they are civilians.” The battle for Mosul has killed thousands and displaced more than 897,000 people, and the United Nations said Monday there was no end in sight to the humanitarian crisis in Iraq despite the recent gains in Mosul. It said thousands of Mosul residents will likely remain displaced from the

city after the fight is concluded because of “extensive damage caused during the conflict.”

Airstrikes, artillery and militant bombings have destroyed thousands of buildings as well as key infrastructure in Mosul. Iraq’s Interior Ministry says more than half of all buildings in western Mosul, where the fighting was heaviest, were damaged or destroyed.

Mosul, Iraq’s secondlargest city, fell to the Islamic State group in 2014, when IS blitzed across much of northwestern Iraq and subsequently declared a caliphate in the territory under its control in Iraq and Syria.

Iraqi forces launched the operation to retake Mosul last October and by late January, the eastern half of the city was declared liberated. The push into western Mosul began the following month.

Three killed, 11 injured in Pak blast K A R AC H I , J U L 1 0 (PTI): A senior Pakistani police official was among three persons killed today when a motorcycle-borne suicide attacker targeted his vehicle in the country’s restive Balochistan province. Eleven people were also injured in the attack.

Although initial reports suggested the blast was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device, sources later said it was a suicide attack targeting the vehicle.

The blast took place in Chaman city in Balochistan located near the Afghan town of Spin Boldak.

District Police Officer (DPO) Killa Abdullah Sajid Mohmand, who was critically wounded in the blast, succumbed to his injuries in the hospital.

“The DPO, his guard and a civilian were killed while another 11 people were injured,” police spokesman Shazada Farhat said.

Tillerson aims to ease Qatar crisis with shuttle diplomacy I S TA N B U L , J U L 1 0 (AGENCIES): The Trump administration tossed aside its aversion to mediating a weeks-long Persian Gulf dispute Monday, as the top U.S. diplomat flew to the region hoping to corral Qatar and its neighbors into negotiation. The new approach isn’t without diplomatic risk, thrusting America into the middle of an Arab squabble at a time President Donald Trump had hoped the U.S. allies would be uniting against terrorism. On his first foray into shuttle diplomacy since becoming secretary of state, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will hop between Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia from Monday until Thursday, testing ways to break an impasse that has persisted despite Kuwaiti mediation efforts. The crisis has badly damaged ties between several key American partners, including hosts of two major U.S. military

bases, threatening counterterrorism efforts.

Washington is worried the dispute is hampering Trump’s bid to combat international terrorist financing. U.S. officials said Tillerson doesn’t expect an immediate breakthrough, which they warned could be months away. Rather, they said, he wants to explore possibilities for sparking negotiations.

“We’ve had one round of exchanges and dialogue and didn’t advance the ball,” senior Tillerson adviser

R.C. Hammond said.

Qatar has rejected 13 demands of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt to restore diplomatic relations and end a blockade they’ve imposed on the small, gasrich monarchy since early June. They include Qatar shutting down the media network Al-Jazeera, cutting ties with Islamist groups including the Muslim Brotherhood, limiting ties with Iran and expelling Turkish troops stationed in the country.

The actors did their best to stay to the original melody of the song and in most of the cases they did succeed; but the very point of the video was to relate the message of frustration and absurdity in the whole political system of the state.

The song also takes a dig at the so called ‘keyboard warriors’, referring to those people who are heroes only in the virtual world like social media and other networking sites but never actually present to take up any cause in the real world.

The team did not fail to include the ‘spinal cord

The message in the music video which is accompanied by a lyrics subtitle is clear, simple and straight forward in order to enable the viewers to rethink, restructure and act accordingly. And like the song’s final line says, ‘We all are tired and we need change now so bad, so bad,’ maybe we do.

ctress Yami Gautam says feminism needs to be reflected in “societal structure”, and should not be “merely restricted to an industry”.

“Feminism is an ideology that needs to be reflected in our way of life and societal structure, not merely restricted to an industry,” Yami told IANS. The “Kaabil” actress, who is associated with swimwear brand Speedo India and joined the CrossFit Aqua Aerobics instructor Pooja Arora for Speedo AquaFit -- Underwater, Vertical, Fitness Training Programme last month in Mumbai, feels talent trumps good looks in Bol-

lywood.

Asked how has the definition of beauty changed in Bollywood, Yami said: “It is your talent and consistent hard work on yourself that matters...

That’s what makes one look attractive, I feel, in terms of beauty -- being natural and easy is what is essential these days.”

On the film front, Yami was last seen in Ram Gopal Varma’s “Sarkar 3”, which also starred megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

She is willing to explore that dark zone again.

“All depends on the quality of the role. If the role deserves it, then why not,” the actress added.

aisie Williams has criticised the TV and film industry for encouraging young actresses to play older, more sexualised characters.

Though the actress was cast as Arya Stark on Game of Thrones when she was just 12 years old, she said she has been unlucky to escape the usual Hollywood trope of “young sexy woman”.

“I have been really lucky, in that I play characters who aren’t necessarily the eye candy. It’s hard for young actresses who still feel like scrappy teenagers but are sort of forced to play characters who are a lot more mature, because, you know, ‘young sexy woman’ really sells in Hollywood,” she told Sunday Times Style.

During the interview, Williams also revealed that she went through a difficult period shortly after she joined Game Of Thrones.

“At 12, I was fearless K

and didn’t care, so I really enjoyed it,” she recalled.

“But then, as each season passed, the pressure built and it became a little destructive. Everyone goes through that dip in confidence. That also came with puberty. It all fizzled out a bit, and I lost my confidence and now I’m slowly starting to get it back again.”

“But the first two years were weird,” she added. “I was having the time of my life, but I look back and I think I wasn’t really very happy because I didn’t have many friends.

I had left school and I was working a lot and it was a strange time. I remember in maybe season two or three, other cast members coming up to me and saying, ‘Your life is going to change’, and to me that wasn’t exciting. I was, like, ‘I don’t want it to change, I quite enjoy my life.’”

Episode titles released for Game Of Thrones season 7 have recently revealed potential plot spoilers.

ctor James Franco will be seen portraying dual characters in TV series “The Deuce”, a new teaser for the drama has revealed.

HBO channel has released a new teaser for the show, and Franco will be seen playing Vincent and his twin brother Frankie Martino in the show, reported aceshowbiz.com.

The series will also feature actress Maggie Gyllenhaal who will play a character named Candy, a sex worker with an entrepreneurial spirit who is drawn into the emerging pornography industry.

The trailer is a sneak peek at how the Martino brothers are trying to build the first legalised porn industry in New York and also filming two female porn stars.

Hailing from “The Wire” creator David Simon and George Pelenacos, “The Deuce” follows the legalisation and ensuing rise of the porn industry in New York beginning in the 1970s. Themes explored include the rise of HIV, the violence of the drug epidemic and the resulting real estate booms and busts that coincided with the change.

Zimbabwe beat SL to clinch ODI series

The victory was Zimbabwe’s first away series win against a Test-playing nation since 2001.

Masakadza made 73 to go beyond 5,000 one-day runs for his country. The last time Zimbabwe defeated a Testplaying nation in a one-day series on foreign soil was when they beat Bangladesh 16 years ago, and this outcome speaks volumes of a Sri Lankan side struggling in a transitional period.

Their batting let them down as they were restricted to just over 200 having had double-century opening partnerships in each of the

previous two ODIs, with Niroshan Dickwella following up back-to-back tons with just three to be one of six Sri Lankans dismissed for single figures.

Sikandar Raza’s 3-21 in 10 overs set the tone and that was built on by a 92-run opening stand between Masakadza and Solomon Mire, and though Zimbabwe lost six wickets for 38 runs, they eventually got over the line thanks to Raza’s unbeaten 27.

JP Duminy also departed cheaply and once Hashim Amla was trapped lbw by Liam Dawson, it was only a matter of time.

England had their share of luck when Quinton de Kock chopped the ball on to the stumps off his foot but they thoroughly deserved the win against a side who made too many mistakes in the field.

The final wicket fell when Morne Morkel heaved Dawson to Keaton Jennings on the boundary.

SC relief for Anurag Thakur; appeal of HP dismissed New Delhi, Jul 10 (PTI): The Supreme Court today dismissed an appeal filed by the Himachal Pradesh government challenging the high court order quashing a criminal case against BJP MP Anurag Thakur and others.

A bench comprising Justices A K Goel and U U Lalit declined to interfere with the Shimla High Court’s May 30 last year order on the case lodged in Dharamshala.

The counsel appearing for the state contended before the apex court that the high court had erred in quashing the case as Thakur, along with several others, had disrupted the work of public servants by forcibly entering into the office of the Superintendent of Police in 2013.

The counsel argued that Thakur, along with 200-250 persons, had disrupted the work of government officials by raising slogans and bursting crackers and “these persons cannot go away lightly after doing this”.

The high court, in its order, had held that the trial court, which had summoned Thakur and others as accused, had no jurisdiction in the case as there was no complaint in writing before it by the

London , J u l 1 0 (Agencies): England comfortably beat South Africa by 211 runs in the first Test at Lord’s to give Joe Root his first win as captain after a roller-coaster fourth day on Sunday.

Set an improbable target of 331 after England had lost their nine remaining second-innings wickets to be dismissed for 233, the touring side never came to terms with a spiteful pitch of uneven bounce and were bowled out for 119.

The win was England’s first against South Africa at Lord’s since 1960.

Root simply had to rotate his bowlers, although spinner Moeen Ali took the honours with figures of 6-53, giving him 10 wickets in the match, a fine performance to set alongside his invaluable first-innings score of 87.

Moeen produced turn and bounce on a pitch that seldom favours fourthinnings run chases. Only three teams have won a Test match by scoring more than 300 at the home of cricket, but the tourists must have felt they were in with a chance after dismissing England so cheaply by mid-afternoon.

Muguruza knocks Kerber out

Spain’s Garbine Muguruza returns to Germany’s Angelique Kerber during their Women’s Singles Match on Monday.

Lo n d o n, J u l 1 0 (Agencies): Wimbledon top seed Angelique Kerber is out after losing 4-6 6-4 6-4 to Garbine Muguruza.

The clash of the former Grand Slam winners and beaten Wimbledon finalists was the standout women’s match of the fourth round and it didn’t disappoint.

Kerber started the better and won the opening set but her Spanish opponent improved as the match went on and ultimately prevailed.

While Kerber was the top seed few expected her to triumph at Wimbledon.

After a brilliant 2016, in which she won both the

Australian and US Opens and reached the final here, the German has struggled badly.

This was her ninth meeting against a top 20 opponent this year and she’s lost all of them.

The result means she will lose her ranking as world No 1 with her replacement depending on what happens in SW19 over the next few days.

Muguruza, the runner up in 2015, will play seventh seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in the next round after the Russian beat ninth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2 6-4 earlier on Monday.

In other women’s fourth round, Jelena Ostapenko, the in-form 13th

seed from Latvia, caused an upset out on Court 12 by beating Elina Svitolina.

Ostapenko beat the fourth seed in straight sets but struggled to get it over the line – ultimately needing eight match points before winning 6-3 7-6.

In the next round she plays Venus Williams who, playing on Centre Court, had no trouble against her opponent Ana Konjuh, winning 6-3 6-2.

Kuznetsova enter quarters after 10 years

Svetlana Kuznetsova prevailed in one of the most established “fixtures” in women’s tennis as she beat Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2 6-4 to reach

Chelsea sign Rudiger from Roma

Defender Antonio Rudiger has signed for Chelsea from Roma.

L o n d o n , J u l 1 0 year contract for a reported (Agencies): Chelsea fee of £29m. have signed Antonio RuThe German becomes diger from Roma on a five- the Premier League Cham-

pions’ second signing after the arrival of Manchester City goalkeeper Willy Caballero. “It’s a great feeling because not every player has the opportunity to join a huge club like this,” the defender said.

“I am looking forward to meeting up with my new team-mates and I’m very proud to officially become a Chelsea player.”

Rudiger has spent the past two seasons in Italy, signing with Roma on loan before making the move permanent for a fee of £7.6m.

the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Monday for the first time in 10 years.

The Russian, seeded seventh, has found Radwanska an agreeable opponent over the past decade and did so again to beat her for the 14th time in 18 matches.

Kuznetsova, 32, is in the quarter-finals for the fourth time and is yet to drop a set so far in this year’s championships, spending less than five hours on court so far.

Having faced opponents with an average ranking of 139 in her opening three matches, Kuznetsova was required to up her game against tricky ninth seed Radwanska and she did so, striking 37 winners to her opponent’s 13.

There was no way back for Radwanska in the first set as she lost the opening four games on a sundrenched Court Three.

But the second set lasted nearly an hour and contained a succession of long baseline exchanges.

Kuznetsova, one of six grand slam champions to reach the last 16 and the second-oldest woman left standing, broke crucially in the seventh game.

She wobbled as she served for victory at 5-4 but battled back from 15-40 down and nailed a backhand winner on match point to move through to a quarter-final.

BCCI puts coach’s appointment on hold Mumbai, Jul 10 (PTI): In a dramatic tur n of events, the three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) today decided to put the appointment of next India coach on hold despite completion of the interview process.

The decision to withhold the appointment is a clear indication that Ravi Shastri is no longer a runaway favourite for the top job after Virender Sehwag appeared in person for the interview which went on for two hours.

It was revealed that five people including Shastri, Sehwag, Lalchand Rajput and Richard Pybus appeared for interview while Phil Simmons made himself unavailable.

The CAC comprises former captains Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly along with VVS Laxman. Tendulkar joined today’s proceedings via skype as he is currently in London.

“We will hold on to the announcements as we need a few more days. We feel there is no hurry, the Sri Lanka tour is coming in a few days’ time,” Ganguly told mediapersons.

Ganguly made it clear that they are looking at the bigger picture for the next two years and will take a decision in the best interest of Indian cricket.

WI beat India by 9 wkts in one-off T20

Lewis took over opening partner Chris Gayle’s mantle to smash an unbeaten 125.

K i n g s to n, J u l 1 0 (IANS): Riding on Evin Lewis unbeaten century, West Indies defeated India by nine wickets in the oneoff Twenty20 International match against West Indies at the Sabina Park here on Sunday.

Lewis slammed 125 runs in just 62 balls to guide his team to a comfortable victory over the visitors.

Lewis innings was laced with six boundaries and 12 sixes.

Chasing a mammoth 191, West Indies got off to a perfect start as openers Lewis and Chris Gayle (18) forged 82-run partnership in the 8.2 overs before Gayle was dismissed by left arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

Incoming batsman Marlon Samuels (36) then joined the in-form Lewis and the duo thrashed In-

dian bowlers all around the park to hand West Indies a victory with nine balls remaining.

For India, Kuldeep was the lone wicket taker.

Earlier, put in to bat, India posted a challenging total of 190/6. Dinesh Karthik was highest scorer for the visitors with 48 runs off 29 balls which included five boundaries and three sixes.

Asked to bat first, India were off to a good start with skipper Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan producing an opening stand of 64 runs in 33 balls.

Kohli, who smashed Williams for a six and a four off the first two balls of the sixth over, mistimed the very next delivery when the pacer delivered a slower ball for an easy catch to Sunil Narine at mid-on. Dhawan was also dismissed just two

balls later when there was a horrible piece of miscommunication between him and Rishabh Pant and Williams caught the former short of his crease with an excellent throw.

However, Pant and Karthick brought the innings back on track with an 86-run partnership in 59 balls. The hosts struck back when Taylor removed Pant and Mahendra Singh with consecutive balls in the 17th over. But Ravindra Jadeja 13 not out) and Ravichandran Ashwin (11 not out) delivered a strong finish to help India to a big total.

Brief scores: India: 190/6 in 20 overs (Dinesh Karthick 48; Jerome Taylor 2/31, Kesrick Williams 2/36) vs West Indies: 194/1 in 18.3 overs (Evin Lewis 125 not out, Marlon Samuels 36; Kuldeep Yadav 1/34)

Jadeja, Ashwin remain on top of ICC Test bowlers rankings DUBAI, Jul 10 (PTI): India’s spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin continued to sit at the top two positions in the ICC Test bowlers’ rankings, released on Monday.

Jadeja is heading the table with 898 points while Ashwin is placed at the second spot with 865 points but none of the other Indian bowlers figure in the top-10 list.

In the all-rounders chart also, Jadeja and Ashwin remained static at second and third places respectively.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

As far as Indian batsmen are concerned, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli have remained at

fourth and fifth places. KL Rahul climbed up a place to ninth spot in the batting table, which is continued

to be headed by Australia’s Steve Smith. Meanwhile, England’s Moeen Ali has received a rankings boost in both batsmen’s and bowlers’ list. Ali was declared the player of the match at the Lord’s Test, where England beat South Africa by 211 runs to go 1-0 up in the four-match series.

In the batting chart, Ali has gained three places and is now just outside the top 20 at 21st place, while in the bowling table, he has broken into the top-20 in 19th position by rising nine places.

G. Rio School enter semi-final KOHIMA INTER-SCHOOL FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT

Match between G.Rio School (black) and Mt. Sinai HSS during the pool –A final match on Monday. (NP)

Correspondent

Kohima, Jul 10 (NPN): G. Rio School entered semi final at the ongoing 1st Kohima District Inter-School Football tournament after beating Mt. School Higher Secondary School 4-3 via penalty shootout. The thrilling match was decided through tie-breaker after both teams ended with 1-1 score in the stipulated 90 minutes.

The heavy down pour failed to dampen the spirit as players of both teams played their hearts out in the soggy play ground. In the 29th minute, Mt. Sinai HSS missed a golden opportunity. 2 minutes later, Sangti opened the account for G. Rio School in the 31st minute. However, Shovelo Duolo found the equalizer for Mt. Sinai HSS in the 39th minute.

Heavy down pour and water logging in the play ground played spoilsport and both the teams failed to find the net despite several opportunities.

Shovelo Duolo and Shoungoalou Pohena of Mt. Sinai and Wanmei of G.Rio School were shown yellow card for unsporting behaviour. After the allotted 90 minutes, due to heavy rain, direct tie-breaker was applied to decide the winner.

G. Rio School will now play either Ministers’ Hill Baptist Higher Secondary School or Riizhiikhrie Govt Higher Secondary School.

Earlier, Pool- A final match was graced by director of Urban Nagaland, Ken Keditsu as the match patron.
