Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL 12 (NPN): The 12th Nagaland Legislative Assembly created a record of sorts when, on the opening day, Tuesday, it concluded business in just 15 minutes and leaving visitors wondering whether an “opposition-less” assembly of all members being part of the “all-party government” was actually healthy for democracy.

Irate United Village block NH-29 Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUL 12 (NPN): Hundreds of residents from United Village on Tuesday blocked NH-29 near DC court junction here with stones and burnt tyres after they were prevented by IRB, police and district administration from proceeding towards the Daldali Reserve forest. Traffic was disrupted for nearly two and half hours (6:30 am to 9 am) as the residents mostly armed with machetes burnt tyres in the middle of the road. Wooden structures were also used to barricade the road. No casualty was reported in the incident. One of the resident told Nagaland Post, that they were discontented on the state government for not taking requisite action on AssamNagaland border issue. State government had barred the people from this village from taking up construction works in the area on numerous occasions. However, United Village claimed that since village was established adjacent to Indisen village they should be allowed to carry out construction works. According to an eye witness, the residents proceeding towards Daldali Reserve Forest with “machetes and other agricultural tools to take up construction activities” were intercepted by IRB, police and district administration at DC Court Junction at around 6:30 am. Later, the road blocked was lifted and the crowd were

He told media persons that the residents were made to understand certain process with regard to the border issue. Moa also said that Daldali Reserve Forest was “officially Nagaland state government claimed area” and did not fall under Disturbed Area Belt (DAB). Since the border issue between Assam-Nagaland case was in Supreme Court, the state government was trying its best to find appropriate solution on the border issue and has taken up the matter on a very serious basis, he added. He fervently appealed to various groups to refrain from creating unwanted situation while the case is in process. District administration and police have also urged upon various groups, to ab-

NESMS approaches CIC over SVC responds to ACAUT’s allegation ‘false info’ furnished by PIO DIMAPUR, JUL 12 (NPN): Nagaland Ecological & Sanitation Management Society (NESMS) has submitted complaint to the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC), Nagaland Information Commission (NIC) against PIO of the National Rural & Health Mission (NRHM), Directorate of Health & Family Welfare, for furnishing of ‘false information’ and failure to provide information within stipulated time of 30 days. In a complaint to the CIC, the NESMS managing director and social activist S. Lepzung Jamir pointed out that an RTI application was submitted on April 15, 2016 and the applicant waited 62 days for NRHM authority to furnish information. The complaint stated that the PIO also did not communicate in any form to the applicant the reason for not furnishing the information on time. Therefore, the applicant filed the first appeal to the first appellate authority (FAA), the principal director of H&FW, Kohima on June 16, 2016, requesting to give necessary direction to the PIO

concern to furnish the information as stated in the RTI application. It stated that on June 18, 2016, the applicant received information from the NRHM authority, but information furnished in serial No.1, 2, and 3 was “totally false information”. In this regard, the applicant urged the NIC to immediately act upon the authority and impose penalty against the PIO, officers and staff involved in handling the case. The applicant also requested NIC to direct the NRHM authority to furnish the right information as soon as possible. Information that was sought included incumbency list of ANM, GNM, lab technician and such other posts lying in the entire community health centres, sub centres and district hospitals from Grade I - Grade-IV; detail list of various post appointed under NRHM through departmental examination conducted by the department and detail list of fund sanctioned by the state and central governments for NRHM for various proposes.

DIMAPUR, JUL 12 (NPN): Reacting to the allegation by ACAUT, terming the State Vigilance Commission (SVC) as a decorative arm of the State, the director & DIGP, Vigilance & Anti-Corruption Police, I. Meyionen in a rejoinder said that such statement was uncalled for. SVC, while acknowledging the concern expressed by ACAUT regarding issues that needed the attention of the Commission, pointed out that the Commission has been investigating 90 cases (regular and preliminary enquiries) including SIT cases that require involvement of a good number of officers in every case. As investigating team required touring various districts to probe cases, SVC however, said it had the strength of only 13 IO, 11 Assisting IOs and three SO including the director for the whole State. On fuel adulteration scam, SVC said it had taken serious note of the issue. Stating that since investigation could be on full swing with two FIRs were already lodged

by Dimapur police-- one at Diphupar P.S and the other at West P.S Dimapur, SVC clarified that as per the policy of the state government, no parallel investigation can be carried out for a particular case, as the law also prohibits the same and not practical as mentioned. As regards to Excise department case in 2014, the Commission said it had investigated the case and the findings and recommendation of the Commission was communicated to the department for necessary action. Accordingly the department acted by serving administrative warning to one deputy superintendent of Excise and one Inspector, while an inspector was censored. It said that the Commission also noted the poor maintenance of record by the department and recommended that the Excise department streamline the maintenance of all official records. With regard to the complaint raised by ACAUT on backdoor appointment of BDOs in 2015, SVC said that

NSF seminar on education system in Nagaland Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL 12 (NPN): With the objective of improving the present education system through discourse from different individuals and professionals, the Naga Students’ federation (NSF) organized a seminar on education system in Nagaland at Hotel Japfü here Tuesday on the theme “generating improvement through research educational system of Nagaland”. In her address, state college of teacher education (SCTE) Kohima principal Dr. Bendangyapangla stressed the need for coordination between the different levels of education in the state for curriculum planning and introducing of vocationalisation at the secondary level. She reminded that learning should not be text-book centric but its content should be made relevant to the sociocultural, politico-historical, and geographical context of the learners. Expressing concern over the absence of research-based planning and

development in the state education system, SCTE principal suggested that school education should establish linkages with other departments by introducing choice based credit system at higher secondary. Dr. Bendangyapangla said Nagaland needed a common executive and administrative heads where the system of management needed to be decentralised, giving community responsibility in management to strengthen the system. She opined that PPP mode in school education could be considered and funding to institutions could be made on performance-based. Challenging the gathering, she said “is our education system preparing the children to face the challenges and opportunities of the world in which they would live and grow?” NBSE controller of examination, Rangumbuing Nsarangbe, in his presentation on secondary and higher secondary education in Nagaland, highlighted the result of HSSLC and HSLC for the last 10 years with some analysis and

observation. Sharing one of his observations, Nsarangbe said the teaching profession was being taken very lightly in Nagaland. He said teachers once appointed should be responsible for the children’s education and shared his opinion that private school teachers needed to be given more incentives in terms of pay and allowances. Nsarangbe said some of the concerns of education system in Nagaland were less interaction by the students to the teachers, neglecting maths and science subjects, teachers’ qualification and parents monitoring the children’s education. University of Hyderabad, Department of Philosophy, assistant professor, Dr. Venusa Tinyi, one of the resource persons, in his speech on “education and identity”, said Nagas needed to learn the critique of “our own culture” and “appreciate our own culture”, which, he said was lacking. He said “our stories will have to become a part of our identity and mode of existence.” Lamenting the poor education system, he said Naga

youth know more of others’ cultures than their own. He also stressed the importance of developing enough literature to “grow and develop our society.” Speaking on the topic “new approach to the curriculum and evaluation system in Nagaland state education”, NUEPA New Delhi Research scholar Lakpachui Siro said many scholars argued that the education system under the British colonial regime was to serve the interest of the colonial administration. He asked the gathering to ponder on whether the “present education system is addressing the purpose of education and if this system is transforming our children into better human being and a resourceful person.” Nagaland University controller of examination, Dr. Abemo, in his presentation, challenged the gathering to ponder over literacy rate of Nagaland, which was more than 86%, whether this rate was producing quality or quantity education.

the matter was addressed to the chief secretary and copy endorsed to State Vigilance Commissioner. However, SVC said that the matter was not taken up by the Commission since it had not received direction from the government to investigate into the matter. With regard to the PDS scam under F&CS department, SVC said there was no formal complaint till date. With regard to the allegation that the SVC was not taking up suo-moto cases, it clarified that the Commission functions as per the government Resolutions and Notifications adopted from time to time. “There are some technical issue with regard to the government amendments on the Resolutions regarding suomoto cases for which clarification has been sought from the government”, the State Vigilance Commission said. In this regard, the SVC appealed to the public to understand the limitations and functioning of the Commission. (Cont’d on p-7)

Massive 9.0 quake lurking under India, B’desh: Study DHAKA, Jul 12 (PTI): A huge earthquake may be building beneath Bangladesh, which can turn urban areas in eastern India into “ruins”, a new study has warned. Scientists said they have new evidence of increasing strain where two tectonic plates underlie the world’s largest river delta. They estimate that at least 140 million people in the region could be affected if the boundary ruptures; the destruction could come not only from the direct results of shaking, but changes in the courses of great rivers, and in the level of land already perilously close to sea level. The newly identified threat is a subduction zone, where one section of earth’s crust, or a tectonic plate, is slowly thrusting under another. All of earth’s biggest known earthquakes occur along such zones; these include the Indian Ocean quake and tsunami that killed some 230,000 people in 2004, and the 2011 Tohoku quake and tsunami off Japan, which swept away more than 20,000 and caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Up to now, all known such zones were only under the ocean; this one appears to be entirely under the land, which greatly multiplies the threat. The strain between the plates has been building for at least 400 years - the span of reliable historical records, which lack reports of any megaquake, said lead author Michael Steckler, a geophysicist at Columbia University.

stain from such activity as the case was in Supreme Court and judgment would be finalized soon. Three companies of IR and police personnel from district enforcement force were deployed at the site. Water canon vehicle was also stationed to avoid any eventuality. DC assures appointment with HM: United Naga Tribes Association on Border Areas (UNTABA), in a press statement, said that the DC Dimapur to pacify the public had assured them of an appointment with the state home minister at the earliest. UNTABA chairman Hukavi T Yeputhomi and general secretary, Imsumongba Pongen said that the public resorted to “confrontation” with the administration after they were stopped from taking up cultivation and construction works in and around Rilan, Indisen and Aoyimkum.

State-owned hotels in Meghalaya face closure Shillong, Jul 11 (PTI): Meghalaya’s heritage PineWood Hotel and other hotels owned and run by the state tourism department are facing closure for allegedly failing to install waste water treatment plant and releasing polluted water directly into water bodies, officials said today. The newly-built State Convention Centre adjacent to Hotel Pinewood, the Orchid Hotel and its Annexe building in Polo Bazaar and the Orchid Lake Resort near the scenic Umiam lake are among the 35 other privately owned hotels and guest houses that have been issued with closure notices by the Meghalaya State Pollution Control Board recently, they said. “We have issued closure notices to PineWood Hotel and other hotels and guest houses for failing to comply with the standing order of the government. These hotels have failed to install a waste water treatment plant to ensure that polluted water are not released directly into the river

SVC responds to ACAUT’s... (From p-1) Lamenting that “greed addicts prevalent in the society” were pushing humanity into a medieval sort of decadence, SVC said “everyone these days, from all walks of life are all thirsting for personal profits”. The lack of transparency, morality, accountability, consistency and institutional weakness provide fertile ground for the growth of corruption, it added. Further, SVC urged ACAUT and the general public to have faith in the police investigation on fuel adulteration and to cooperate with the investigating team to ensure speedy justice.

Irate United Village block NH-29 (From p-1) According to the UNTABA, unless Daldali Reserved Forests areas “illegally occupied by the people of questionable origins” from Assam were completely evicted including Dillai Gate of Assam, 6th mile and all other establishments and settlements, all these “skirmishes and confrontations” between the administration and public of Nagaland would continue.

Further, UNTABA reminded the state government that unless realistic approach adopted, it will be unwise to stop “our people from occupying their rightful activities since people from Nagaland side has been only trying to occupy the areas given and recognized by the state government”.

SETAN submits 4-point demand to state govt. DIMAPUR: Special Education Teachers Association of Nagaland (SETAN) has submitted a four-point demand to the government requesting to look into the demands and take necessary arrangement within 20 days. In a memorandum addressed to the commissioner & secretary, school education, the SETAN president T.S.Honwang Konyak and general secretary Atoka Sumi demanded that no fresh appointment be made until all the in-service special education teachers (SETs) were absorbed and streamlined. Further, SETAN demanded that extension of all the SETs be given from February 2016. It also demanded that some ample time be given to untrained SETs for in-service training. Lastly, the association appealed that salary of the special teachers be equivalent to normal graduate teacher after training as per the guidelines of the Rehabilitation Council of India. SETAN alleged that the special education teachers of the state were one of the most neglected government employees with no clear policy or sets of standards instructed upon them. Since their appointment, the association said there has always been perplexity in the implementation and execution of definite work objectives. Nonetheless, it said the special education teachers dutifully discharged the responsibility entrusted to them with full commitment. However, SETAN alleged that the government was giving them all kinds of reasons to undermine and lay them off, which, it said was “a high case of human right violation.”

New Delhi, Jul 12 (Agencies): The urban development ministry has approved an assistance of Rs 658 crore for five major infrastructure projects aimed at unclogging key stretches in Delhi. While four will be new projects, the Centre has sanctioned Rs 85 crore for completion of the stalled grade separator at Rani Jhansi Road, a project that had started in 2006, reported TOI. The new projects are a flyover and underpass connecting Mahipalpur, Aerocity, IGI

New Delhi, Jul 12 (IANS): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has called on secular parties to unite to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Mr Gandhi told a gathering of leaders of different parties and Muslim groups in New Delhi that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS were dividing the country both on religious and caste lines. “It is easy to divide the people but rather difficult to unite them,” he said at an Eid Milan reception hosted by Jamait Ulema chief Maulana Arshad Madni on Monday night. The event was attended by leaders of political parties including Ajit Singh (RLD), Sharad Yadav (JD-U), Sitaram Yechury (CPI-M), Atul Kumar Anjan (CPI) and Sanjay Singh (AAP) as well as heads of Jamaat-e-Islami, Jamaat Ahle Hadees, Muslim Majlis Mushwarat and the Barelvi sect chief Maulana Tauqeer Reza. At least a dozen Congress leaders from Uttar Pradesh were present at the meeting besides Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is in-charge of the state. Mr Gandhi said a division of the secular vote had helped the BJP to consolidate its political gains. “If we have to defeat communal forces, we need to get united,” he said, addressing Ajit Singh and the others. Maulana Arshad Madni of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind said his party would never allow “communal and fascist forces” to change the country’s secular character. He said his organisation had strongly opposed the 1947 partition of the country. “We opted for secular India and will not allow this country to change its secular and democratic fabric.” Sharad Yadav said an overwhelming majority of Indians was secular. “But it has been observed that the secular vote gets divided, benefitting the BJP and its affiliated parties.

Dr. Abemo emphasized the importance of teachers’ commitment towards their job, saying they played a vital role in education system and the society. Northfield school administrator Pheluopfelie stressed the need of education system to focus on strong economic development with technology and industry. He suggested that the state needed to build up institutions that created human capital as per the needs and requirements of the state. Earlier, the programme was chaired by NSF general secretary Boveio Poukai Duo, welcome address was delivered by NSF president Subenthung Kithan and invocation was given by NBCC school coordinator Rev.

Expressing regret over the loss of lives and injuries in the clashes in Kashmir, UN chief Ban Ki-moon has called on all parties to exercise “maximum restraint” to avoid further violence and hoped that all concerns would be addressed through peaceful means. “The Secretary-General is closely following the recent clashes in Kashmir. He regrets the reported loss of dozens of lives and the injuries to many others,” a statement issued by Ban’s spokesperson said here. The statement said Ban “calls on all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid further violence and hopes that all concerns would be addressed through peaceful means”. Earlier during the daily briefing on Monday, Ban’s spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the reports of the clashes in Kashmir, in which about 23 people have been killed so far and over 250 injured, “are of concern to us”. Dujarric also rejected remarks by a Pakistani journalist that the UN chief, who had earlier in the day addressed the press on the situation in South Sudan, had “brushed aside” the Kashmir issue and was not taking note of the situation there. “I think no one is denying that we are concerned about the situation in Kashmir. The fact that the Secretary General did not raise it as he did not raise many other critical situations around the world does not mean that he is brushing anything aside,” Dujarric said. Tensions are rising in Kashmir where clashes have broken out between protesters and security personnel following the killing of Hizbul terrorist Burhan Wani last week.

Kashmir unrest: PM calls for peace

Srinagar/New Delhi, Jul 12 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday appealed for peace in Jammu and Kashmir where more than 30 people have been killed in widespread protests after the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani. Modi chaired a highlevel meeting in New Delhi and voiced concern over the incidents of violence in the Kashmir Valley, where curfew continued for a fourth consecutive day. “Prime Minister has appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to maintain calm and peace so that normalcy returns and no innocent lives are disturbed,” Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office Jitendra Singh told reporters after the meeting. The meeting was attended by Modi’s senior cabinet colleagues. In Kashmir, amid curfew in most parts of the valley, the authorities grappled to control continuing violence that has also left nearly 1,400 people wounded, many seriously, in clashes between thousands of protesters and security forces. Police said “strict curfew shall continue” almost all across the

Recurring racism

t appears that despite all the media publicity highlighting the plight of people from the north east in Delhi and despite the positive response of the central and Delhi governments, crimes against the north east community continue. In the latest, Monika Khangembam, from Manipur got unwanted publicity the wrong way when she became another victim of racial prejudice at the hands of immigration officials at Indira Gandhi International Airport on July 10, Saturday night. Narrating the incident on her facebook, Monika wrote that at the immigration desk at IGI the male allegedly hurled racist remarks at her when she was on her way to Seoul for a conference. When she produced her visa and passport, the immigration official smirked at her and asked her how many states comprised the country, in an apparent bid to “know her Indianness”. She alleged that a female official at the adjacent counter was giggling while the male officer paid no heed to her saying that she was getting late for the flight. The incident only served as a bitter reminder that racism continues in the national capital. The shocking behaviour of the immigration official also typifies what the people from the north eastern part of India have been experiencing in New Delhi. Besides the spate of crimes against women and girls from the north east, the community also experience a total lack of concern and often, uncooperative and even hostile attitude by the majority society. There have been many incidents of racial bias in Delhi and the reluctance of Delhi Police to crack down on crimes against people from the north east has only added to the woes. These racial abuse faced had also taken fatal form when several north east people were murdered in Delhi. What these deaths have in common is that the victims were all from the north eastern part of the country, who had a “particular” physical appearance, and were seen as outsiders in the places they died. These incidents have been read as a symptom of the pervasive racial discrimination that people from the region face in metropolitan India.It happened in the past even in Bengaluru, a city that is rated as the most liberal cosmopolitan city in India. There is no denying the fact that Indians, by and large, are racist in so many obvious ways, but will hotly deny any such slur on their “national character”. It appears that racial profiling is a problem with north Indian society and this needs to be seriously addressed by the centre and other north Indian states. African students and tourists often complain of experiencing racial prejudice while in India. Ironically, most Indians see racism as a phenomenon that exists in other countries, particularly in the West, and without fail, see themselves as victims. They do not see themselves harbouring (potentially) racist attitudes and behaviour towards others whom they see as inferior. It is also prevalent to some degree even in the north east where mainlanders or ‘outsiders/non-locals’ often face some hostility. However, unlike in other parts of India, the north east region has a sizeable population of mainlanders who have been accepted as part of society. If the problem of biasness among the local people of Delhi is not tackled through effectively, the slogan of unity in diversity proclaimed from the ramparts of the national capital would sound more hollow each time victims are chosen on the basis of race etc.

DailyDevotion The Spiritually Self-Seeking Church …till we all come…to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ… —Ephesians 4:13 Reconciliation means the restoring of the relationship between the entire human race and God, putting it back to what God designed it to be. This is what Jesus Christ did in redemption. The church ceases to be spiritual when it becomes self-seeking, only interested in the development of its own organization. The reconciliation of the human race according to His plan means realizing Him not only in our lives individually, but also in our lives collectively. Jesus Christ sent apostles and teachers for this very purpose— that the corporate Person of Christ and His church, made up of many members, might be brought into being and made known. We are not here to develop a spiritual life of our own, or to enjoy a quiet spiritual retreat. We are here to have the full realization of Jesus Christ, for the purpose of building His body. Am I building up the body of Christ, or am I only concerned about my own personal development? The essential thing is my personal relationship with Jesus Christ— “… that I may know Him…” (Philippians 3:10). To fulfill God’s perfect design for me requires my total surrender— complete abandonment of myself to Him. Whenever I only want things for myself, the relationship is distorted. And I will suffer great humiliation once I come to acknowledge and understand that I have not really been concerned about realizing Jesus Christ Himself, but only concerned with knowing what He has done for me. My goal is God Himself, not joy nor peace, Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God. Am I measuring my life by this standard or by something less?

Post-mortem

Assu Isak Chishi Swu: an immortal icon P eople realize the real value of a person only after they’re gone. One’s true worth transpires or surfaces only after they become a memory. For a great leader like Assu Isak Chishi Swu who believed in relationships greater than the problems, losing him is not only a loss for a particular tribe or faction but for the whole Naga people. It is an end of an era in the history of the Naga Movement. Assu Isak Chishi Swu’s dead came as a jolt to the collective conscience and emotion of our people and has send shockwaves throughout the Nagas living around the world. Assu Isak’s life and his passing away mark an important historic phase of the Naga National Movement. The greatest inherent factor of the great leader is not only the personality but humility. Assu Isak was denied what he deserved by many of his adversaries while he was alive but those who denied him that too wept along on his demise. Hate them or love them, but we cannot ignore that he along with Th. Muivah took the Naga Cause to newer heights on the world stage and international recognition. As humans,they too surely had their own shortcomings and mistakes but the enormous sacrifices they made for the Nagas is remarkable and noteworthy which can never be denied.His departure leaves an irreplaceable vacuum as he left us during this crucial juncture when his presence was so much needed than before as he had been throughout his life. Maybe many felt his presence never mattered and thought it never made any difference but today we are proved wrong by his absence. Like salt we fail to notice its presence but become completely aware of its absence only when it is not there. Today his absence causes more than mere heartaches, pain and sadness but of a great emptiness and a very huge void not only among the Sumis but to every

Nagas beyond Nagaland. Everyone has grieved immensely and expressed the deepest sorrow over the demise of this great leader Assu Isak Chishi Swu. A noblest soul, a God’s servant, a freedom fighter to the fullest, a truest patriot, a visionary leader, an inimitable man of principles, Late Assu Isak Chishi Swu has left a irreplaceable vacuum with his extremely rare and exceptional qualities of a soldier, missionary, guide, philosopher and an astute statesman. In losing him Nagas has lost one of its greatest sons of the soil. He will always remain as one of the greatest source of inspiration to many and an exceptional leader among the Nagas who was the rarest among the rarest. He was a man who placed God above everything. For him the Nation came before anything even before his own family and his own community. Now after he has left, the rise of unpredictability increases in these rapidly changing dynamics of times and continuous upheavals of our long running Naga Movement. Great achievements require great sacrifices and Assu Isak without any doubt was one such person. Assu Isak’s death has made us realize Nagas need more of emotional unity and social integration and we need to be more calculative and wiser in our decision makings while navigating through the choppy and murky waters of divisions and hatred within us. Our worries have only seemed to exacerbated by the uncertainties of turmoil and seem more difficult in charting a way through this hard road of a long drawn conflict with the passing away of this great legend. He gave his all and stayed completely focused on what mission he started out till the end of his life’s journey. True leaders take responsibility instead of always blaming others and he was one of them. He was one strong personality to stand alone when the time demanded. He

was his own self to stand apart when situations compelled. To lead people you need to walk behind them was thus exhibited by this man. Great leadership isn’t shaped in the absence of opposition but in the presence of it and he proved it. Great leaders draw us to them with their universal humility and he was truly one of them. They derive clarity of vision inspite of the chaos and amidst extreme difficult circumstances or through turbulent phases and the test of times. Assu’s life was completely different from the multitude of today’s many questionable leaders who without any clear political and ideological vision,where amassing of personal wealth and glory has become a priority much to the channelizing in the growth of anger and resentment from the common masses. His enemies shed their tears and expressed their sorrow alike how his friends did at his passing away. The people who hated him and despised his ideology and policies while he was alive grieved along too with those who loved him and started missing him from the moment the news spread that he was no more. Assu Isak was a devout,God-fearing humble soul never complained about the silent attempts to discard and deny him the status of fatherly figure and an icon of the Naga Movement all his life but all that were due to him came as he left this world. Even his adversaries became forlorn, gloomy and sorrowful when they learnt that this great son of the soil was no more. Such things are rare, very rare. He relied on God as his source of strength and guide in the complexities and dilemmas he battled. Now how many more Assu Isak do we have? Or will we ever have? Maybe we will never. Nagas need to pragmatically think over it and must thoroughly introspect and retrospect. The realization of how Assu Isak’s presence mat-

tered a lot came a little too late to the Nagas only after he was gone. The worst thing we Nagas can do to ourselves and against the dream of this great man is destroy ourselves with our narrow nationalism. The video clip of him strolling around the lawn in a wheel chair and singing ‘Sailing for Home’ made me shed tears and it sure did to many who have watched it. His failing health in the ever growing challenging situations for over a year did not even bother to awake our conscience. The sad consequence of losing such a great outstanding leader as Assu Isak after battling for his life for quiet sometime makes us now to ponder if only we should have given him his due share of credit while he was alive too like we did after he passed away. Men make history and not the other way round. Throughout the ages, where there is no leader, society stands still. Progress occurs only when courageous and skillful leaders seize the opportunity to make things for the better. The Naga Nation today is certainly not what our great leader like Assu Isak Chishi Swu must have dreamt of. The picture that emerged from the long bloody conflict of nearly six decades maybe potentially great but now completely in state of disarray and chaos. Nagas now suffer from a fatty degeneration of conscience and dissolution of our moral values. The soul of great leaders like him will rest in complete peace only if we relearn and live the values to which they stood for. Farewell Assu. You have lived well. Today our land has become a land of story-tellers, story-tellers of your great heroic deeds. You are a true legend. You are a true hero. Legends never die. Heroes live forever. You have left behind a great legacy of true patriotism that will be forever engraved in our minds and hearts. Jonah Achumi.

Representation to home minister Rajnath through governor of Nagaland (Mysterious demise of Sepoy Vezota Vasa of the Jat Regiment at Bareilly (UP) on 23rd of June, 2016 and necessary investigation thereupon.) Hon’ble Sir, There have often been reports of Naga boys being harassed and meted out undue humiliation after joining various professions in the mainland and one such case was the result which led to the demise of one Sepoy Vezota Vasa of Jat Regiment at Bareilly (UP) on 23rd of June 2016 which is a case in point. The demise of late Sepoy Vesota Vasa was communicated to his father on 23rd of June 2016 by Colonel Jeevan and to which Shri.Vekhwutso Vasa, father of Late. Vezota Vasa requested the Colonel to keep the post mortem in abeyance until his arrival at the Jat Regiment Centre, Bareilly (UP). The following day, Shri. Vekhwutso Vasa along with his family members reached the Centre at 0115 hrs and insisted to see the dead body of his son late Sepoy Vezota Vasa which to their shock and dismay was denied permission by the authorities in the Centre. It was only at around 0900 hrs, they were permitted to see only a partial sight of the body in which they noticed only the forehead and half part of the chest which was stained with blood. It was agreed upon with the authorities that the family would do the honour of cleaning the dead body of their beloved son at 1800 hrs to 1900 Hrs and put on the necessary garments as their last duty and respect to the mortal remains of their beloved son Late Sepoy Vezota Vasa. However, to their dismay, the authorities had already cleaned up and wrapped the dead body and placed it in the morgue without the family members having to witness it totally in contradiction to their under-

standings reached. It is clear that the first person to have witnessed the dead body of Late Vesota Vasa at 0530 hrs on 23rd of June 2016 is said to be one, Sepoy Ajay Kumar according the FIR lodged by the Regimental Centre. The incident was reported to the Barrack after a gap of 40 minutes and this automatically raises the question as to why such a matter of grievous nature was reported after such a long gap of 40 minutes when the toilet where the dead body was found is learned to be located only 12 feet away from the Barrack. Further, the family’s desire to meet Sepoy Ajay Kumar was totally denied upon and the response to given to the queries of the family by the Barrack mates were very casual and lackadaisical. The photographs available with the Police, clearly indicates that it is not a matter/ case of suicide as claimed by the authorities. Contrary to their claims, there appears to be deep connivance of conspiracy and foul play in the tragic death of late Sepoy Vezota Vasa on 23rd of June 2016. Over and above there are many instances to be doubtful about and mysterious in nature in regards to the unnatural death of late Sepoy Vezota Vasa. In view of the above circumstances, the Naga Hoho would like to request you to take up with the appropriate authorities to conduct a fair and impartial investigation, whereby, the whole truth will be unearthed. Your action will also allay the fears and the prejudices that our youth would have on the Indian Armed Forces in particular and the other professions in general. Thanking you in anticipation. Naga Hoho president, P. Chuba Ozukum and general secretary, Mutsikhoyo Yhobu.

A presentation to the Nagaland Nagaland in process of banning dog meat Vision 2030 expert group T

(From previous issue...) An inclusive vision for Nagaland: People with disabilities are vulnerable because of the many barriers we face: attitudinal, physical, and financial. Addressing these barriers is within our reach and we have a moral duty to do so. Beyond that moral duty we would do well to remember the many other reasons to act. Legislation introduced to assist the disabled today will benefit nearly everyone at some point: almost all of us will be impaired at some time in life or care for someone who is. But most important, addressing these barriers will unlock the potential of so many people with so much to contribute to the world. Governments everywhere can no longer overlook the hundreds of millions of people with disabilities who are denied access to health, rehabilitation, support, education, and employment - and never get the chance to shine. - Stephen Hawking Stated objective of Nagaland Vision 2030: To prepare a document that envisions a sustainable, progressive and viable Nagaland Fact: There cannot be a sustainable, progressive and viable Nagaland if Nagas with disabilities are left out from the Nagaland Vision A viable Nagaland is one that includes people with disabilities in political, social, economic and environmental developments. Why: • Because it is their human right to be included • Because no effort at development will be successful without their inclusion • Because not to do so is to consign another generation of children with disabilities to a life of isolation and indignity without education, with limited economic opportunity, with poorer health and with no involvement in the decisions that affect their daily lives Also, mounting evidence points to the high economic costs of excluding people with disabilities on the development agenda and the productive cycle – as it is estimated that the global annual GDP loss due to exclusion of disabled people from the labour mar-

ket is between US$1.37 and 1.94 trillion. Furthermore, disability does not affect only one individual, but usually has ongoing repercussions on an entire household, especially in terms of time and money that is required to provide special care for an individual with disabilities. (Social Analysis and Disability: World Bank) Our vision is a Nagaland where no one is left behind: A Nagaland where all citizens have equal opportunities to realise their rights, achieve their potential and live in dignity, free from poverty, exclusion, stigma, discrimination and violence. A Nagaland where people with disabilities have a voice, choice and control over the decisions that affect them; where they participate in and benefit equitably from everyday life, everywhere. Making the vision a reality: To make this vision a reality a State Disability Strategy must be developed with a time-bound State Plan that addresses issues in all areas of life that exist solely on the basis of disability. The Strategy must articulate long-term goals across key policy areas which impact on people with disabilities, their families and carers. It must also provide leadership for a societal shift in attitudes towards disability and people with disabilities. The disability strategy must be geared towards: • establishing a policy framework to guide government activity across general and disability-specific areas of public policy • driving improved performance of mainstream/general services in delivering outcomes for people with disabilities • giving visibility to disability issues and increasing the understanding and importance of the needs of persons with disabilities and ensuring that these needs are recognised when policy is developed or when initiatives which impact on disabled people are implemented • providing state leadership toward greater inclusion and opportunities for people with disabilities across all areas of society Key policy areas • Accessibility: Current

situation: ZERO accessibility – in the physical environment as well as information and services. Accessibility is at the core of inclusion. Making the environment and services accessible must be the goal - the physical environment including public transport; buildings and housing, commercial spaces and all public places; digital information and communications technologies; civic life including social, sporting, recreational and cultural life. • Education and skills: Current situation: Most children with disabilities have no access to education due to physical and attitudinal barriers, as well as lack of trained teachers – the repercussions of this situation echoes throughout their lives. Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all must be given top priority - early childhood education and care, accessible schools, further education and vocational education • Health services: Note: Having a disability is not synonymous with having a health problem: most people with disabilities live healthy lives. However, there is some evidence that, collectively, they experience poorer levels of health and require more healthcare than the general population (WHO & World Bank, 2011). Health services must be made accessible and affordable. Early intervention and rehabilitation health services must also be put into place on priority. This can help reduce future costs of care and support. Establishing strong interface between health and disability systems is also critical. • Support services: Current situation: ZERO disability services - there is not even a single rehabilitation centre or any other support service available for people with disabilities in the state.

he article on Nagaland government is in the process of banning the use of dog meat as food in the state and directives have been issued to the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to this effect dated July 11 2016 wherein Quote “The official also said that pressure to ban capture of dogs for the purpose of slaughter and meat came in the wake of a legal notice served to the State Government by an Advocate from Assam, N M Kapadia under instruction from his clients. The Advocate through the legal notice had noted that dog meat was openly

sold as food, just as chicken and mutton while all the parts of a dog’s body are used as food under the impression that it contains iron and is the medicine for some disease” Unquote. Article 371A which gives special powers to Nagaland reads as “ Special provision with respect to the State of Nagaland.—(1) Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution,— (a) no Act of Parliament in respect of— (i) religious or social practices of the Nagas, shall apply to the State of Nagaland unless the Legislative Assembly of Nagaland by a resolution so

decides;” If we say that dog meat is a source of food to Nagas and the learned Advocate N.M Kapadia rightly admitted that it is “openly sold as food just as chicken and mutton” so what is wrong here. Why not ban chicken and mutton? I am not suggesting that we be should cruel to animals. It may be mentioned here that some village councils had banned the rearing of dogs after rabies outbreak. Therefore, Nagas may best be left to themselves in religious and social matters as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Rusovil John.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

A sincere apology to NCSU

In my previous write-up dated June 29, 2016, “Abandoned SARDP-NE Project: An appeal to ACAUT,” I have made anapprehensive negative hypothetical predictions punctuated with the word “if ” on the Nagaland Contractors’ and Suppliers’ Union (NCSU) betraying our own people in seeking sub-contract works from Maytas&Gayatri Company. The article have painted the NCSU in a bad light for which I do sincerely apologise. Undeniably, till date the NCSU have continually sought the interest and welfare of our people. Their unflinching retaliation against the Maytas&GayatriCompany with a stipulation (that they should first complete the SARDP-NE project) before taking up the NH-2, 4-lane Dimapur-Kohima project has been a reassuring voice for the public. As a Bible student, I care for nothing but the truth and truth alone. The article was purely out of a pure conscience and not motivated by any ill-intention to damage the reputation of the NCSU.The writer is truly sorry for the apprehensive words spoken hastily. Vebu Khamo, Bible Sudent.

BSNL telecom lackadaisical service

Sir,

Nowadays, everybody use mobile set for quick conversation, but not possible because on dialing of mobile one hears the recorded voice tells us “no network coverage”. This is an obstruction throughout the day and night. This is the reason why everything fails. The reason is best known to BSNL, Telecom department only. Thereof, this trend should be checked immediately and rectify and maintain in tip top condition. Failure to do so would make everybody face untold hardship and everything would be a failure and who is to be blamed BSNL/ telecom department? Hence BSNL/telecom nomenclature should be “no network coverage”. Although, every mobile set holder face untold hardship, but no voice at all but just remain as mute spectator therefore, BSNL/telecom department is proud enough. BSNL telecom department regard mobile set holders as “inanimate” so even if maximum punishment is given to them none will raise objection or complaint from any corner. It is quite true nevertheless, if this defective system of practice continue, it is intolerable therefore, it may likely start “agitation across the country”. If any untoward accident occurs then BSNL/telecom department have the sole responsible as adage saying goes “prevention is better than cure”. The ACAUT is the apex body NGO(s) organization therefore, it is earnestly appealed to write to the BSNL telecom authorities to look into the problem on top priority basis, because mobile business is most important for public.

Alappuzha, Panaji and Mysuru Indian govt responsible for creating Wanis: Geelani cleanest cities in India: CSE survey

The ailing separatist leader has been under house arrest off and on since 2010 and suffers from multiple ailments. He has been a strong votary of Jammu and Kashmir’s merger with Pakistan, saying the Kashmir dispute was an unresolved portion of two-nation theory that divided India and Pakistan in 1947. Rocked by widespread protests, the Kashmir Valley has been on the edge following the weekend killing of rebel commander Burhan Wani, 22, who had emerged as the new face of Kashmir’s militancy, using Facebook and other social media to

I want to be the voice of the state through non-violence and work for the uplift of poor, farmers, youth and women,” he said in the letter which was made public by his lawyer Yashwant Vala today. Claiming that his nineodd months of jail term has

taught him how to “cleanse dirty politics”, he expressed his distrust in political parties like Congress and BJP. “I have spent nine months in my mother’s womb, and another nine months in jail, totaling eighteen months. In this period I understood how to cleanse dirty politics,” he said. Hardik said he comes from a simple farmer’s family and has full faith in judiciary, and the court’s verdict has strengthened his belief that “innocents and poor do get justice”.

disposal is not the problem. The problem is two-fold. One, households and institutions are not responsible for management, through segregation or payment of the waste they generate. Two, there is an absolute collapse of financial and institutional (human) capacity and so accountability in our municipal systems,” said Sunita Narain, director general of the CSE. She said, “In this scenario, the best option is what we have found in Kerala, where municipalities have withdrawn from the waste business. People segregate and compost; informal recyclers collect and sell. This is perhaps the most exciting model for future waste business in the country. And even if it cannot be emulated completely, it holds important lessons for other cities”. Asked how did the think-tank select these 14 cities for its survey, Swati Singh Sambyal, senior research associate (waste management) of the CSE said, “We had first solicited nominations from people and environmentalists on cities they think are managing their wastes well. Once the list of nominations

NIA arrests Hyderabad ISIS chief New Delhi, Jul 12 (IANS): In a major breakthrough, National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials on Tuesday arrested Hyderabad ISIS module chief Yasir Niamatullah. Also, NIA has arrested Athaullah Rehman, who raised funds for the dreaded terror outfit, ISIS, reported Zeenews. “Yasir Niamatullah, chief of Hyderabad module, and Athaullah Rehman, a motivator who raised funds, have been arrested by NIA from here,” sources in Telangana Intelligence Department said. “They are being produced in court on

was ready, researchers visited these cities to comprehensively analyse their waste management practices”. Handling of solid municipal waste is going to be a big challenge, considering the amount of waste being generated in the country. In 2009, the department of economic affairs’s position paper on solid waste management had projected India would be producing 260 million tonnes of waste annually, needing over 1,400 sq km of landfills, by 2047. This is an area equal to Hyderabad, Mumbai and Chennai put together. “As India becomes more literate and politically aware, most cities are encountering stiff resistance when they attempt to dispose of waste in somebody else’s backyard. In Pune, Bengaluru, Panaji, Alleppey and Gurgaon, village communities have been up in arms against the dumping of waste by a neighbouring city. This resistance will continue to grow. Cities are also finding it difficult to secure ‘environmental approval’ for their landfills”, said the CSE deputy director general Chandra Bhushan.

Jammu, Jul 12 (IANS): Another batch of pilgrims escorted by the security forces on Tuesday left Jammu for the Kashmir Valley in a convoy on the way to the Amarnath cave shrine. “Another batch of pilgrims escorted by the security forces left Bhagawati Nagar Yatri Niwas in Jammu city around 4.20 p.m. for the valley in 150 buses,” a senior police official told IANS. “On Monday, a batch of pilgrims left for the valley in 300 buses to perform the Amarnath Yatra,” he said. The Amarnath Yatra remained suspended for two days because of law and order situation in the valley, triggered by the clashes between security forces and agitating demonstrators after top Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed on Friday evening. All the pilgrims who have already reached the valley were safe and performing the yatra, the official added. An official of Shri Amarnath ji Shrine Board (SASB) which manages the annual pilgrimage has said that so far over 1,35,000 pilgrims have already had `darashan` of the ice formation inside the cave shrine devoted to Lord Shiva.

Earlier, five youths were arrested from Hyderabad by the NIA on charges of involvement in an alleged ISIS terror module. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi had said his party would provide legal help to the arrested youths. Reacting to Owaisi’s statement, BJP MLA T Raja Singh had demanded his immediate arrest for announcing that his party will provide legal help.

Ahmedabad, Jul 12 (PTI): Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel, who obtained bail in three cases and is set to walk out free after being in jail for nine months, has claimed he did nothing that could cause law and order problem and invoked the famous phrase ‘Satyamev Jayate’ (truth alone prevails). Extolling the virtue of the phrase in a letter, addressed to Gujarat government, Hardik said, “Satyamev Jayate. This phrase has been the guiding force for Lord Rama and Mahatma Gandhi, and remains so for today’s youth. I have full faith in India’s judiciary. I believe that innocents and poor do get justice. I was thrown in jail even when I am not guilty,” he said. “Let me tell you the truth: only a goat is made to sacrifice, not a lion,” the 22-year-old leader said in the letter, written by him a day after the court granted him

titled ‘Not In My Backyard’, released here on Monday by the Union urban development minister M Venkaiah Naidu. This survey is different from the UD ministry’s January survey that took into account the components of ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ like construction of toilets, solid waste management and independent observation while coming out with its ranking. Fifty-three cities with a population of above 10 lakhs each and 22 capitals that do not have that much population were selected for the survey. Mysuru, Chandigarh, Tiruchirapalli, New Delhi Municipal Council, Visakhapatnam, Surat, Rajkot, Gangtok, Pimpri Chindwad and Greater Mumbai had emerged as the top 10 cities in terms of sanitation and hygiene in the government survey. The CSE survey was, however, limited to 14 cities, It tried to find out what actually makes these cities clean and how the best practices would act as a guide for future policy. “What is absolutely clear to us as we researched for this report is that technology for waste

rally supporters and reach out to other youths. Asked if the separatist political leadership had failed Kashmir’s new generation in giving them alternatives to the gun to claim democratic and political rights, Geelani blamed “pro-Indian forces and the Indian government for creating Burhan Wanis”. “India shows no respect for humanity, fundamental rights of Kashmiris.” He mocked at the Jammu and Kashmir government for urging the Hurriyat to restore peace to Kashmir. “The government has not allowed democratic forces to flourish. I am under house arrest since 2010. We are not allowed to meet people. India has unleashed a reign of terror.” The former Jama’ate-Islami chief alleged that police and paramilitary troopers were “shooting to kill protesters at will”. He asked the protesters to keep “resisting and venting their anger” but appealed to them not to forget “moral and human values cherished by peace loving people of Kashmir”.

NEW DELHI: Alappuzha had missed the Centre’s survey on cleanliness - Swachh Survekshan-2016 - due to population criteria and so the government ranking in January, but this small city of Kerala along with Goa’s Panaji and Karnataka’s Mysuru on Monday emerged as the first three cleanest cities in India in a different survey - conducted by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE). The Delhi-based environment think-tank, CSE, has ranked these three cities along with 11 others on the basis of the way they manage their solid municipal waste. The country’s capital Delhi has appeared at the bottom of the list of 14 along with Chandigarh and Bengaluru. The CSE survey found that the cities, figured at the bottom, like Delhi, Chandigarh and Bengaluru have managed to remain clean, but only by sweeping their garbage under the carpet. “Dumping waste in landfills is not a solution. These cities must learn to process waste”, said the CSE’s report on solid waste management in Indian cities,

S r i nag a r , J u l 1 2 (IANS): Senior separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Tuesday said he was not in “absolute control” of the situation in the Kashmir Valley and blamed “pro-Indian forces” for the bloodshed that has left over 30 people dead in violent street protests. In an interview with IANS at his heavily-barricaded Srinagar residence, Geelani said the new generation of Kashmiris was politically more aware as well as sensitive. They are facing “brutal forces fearlessly”, he said. “We cannot say we are in absolute control of the situation,” said the 87-yearold chairman of the hardline faction of the Hurriyat Conference -- an amalgam of Kashmiri separatist groups. He, however, quickly added that the young Kashmiris participating in the widespread violent protests were “influenced” by the Hurriyat ideology of “resistance against India”. “They have learnt it from us. We have influenced them. They follow our shutdown calls. But they are more determined,” Geelani told IANS.

New Delhi, Jul 12 (PTI): The Centre has asked private firms to slash retail prices of non-urea fertilisers by up to Rs 5,000 per tonne, in line with public-sector firms, or else it will cut down the subsidy provided to them. Retail prices of non-urea fertilisers such as Diammonium Phosphate (DAP), Muriate of Potash (MoP) and NPK are decontrolled and are determined by the manufacturers, while the Centre gives them fixed subsidy each year. Earlier this month, the Fertiliser Ministry asked both public and private fertiliser companies to pass on falling global prices of raw materials by reducing the retail price of non-urea soil nutrients. Accordingly, state-run Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers (RCF) and National Fertilizers Ltd (NFL) reduced the retail price of DAP by Rs 2,500 to Rs 22,000/ tonne, MoP by Rs 5,000 to Rs 11,000/tonne, while complex fertilisers rates were brought down by Rs 1,000/tonne. Private players, however, did not cut the rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even private companies will be reducing the prices. International prices have come down, they have to reduce the retail price. If they do not reduce the price, we will cut down the subsidy.

China rejects tribunal ruling on SCS

Members of activist groups celebrate the ruling on South China Sea by an arbitration tribunal in The Hague, along a bay in Manila on Tuesday.

“There was no legal basis for China to claim historic rights to resources within the sea areas falling within the ‘nine-dash line’,” the Permanent Court of Arbitration said, referring to a demarcation line on a 1947 map of the sea. Beijing said the unilateral case filed by Philippines was “out of bad faith.” It also accused the UN-

backed court of muddying the waters. “It aims not to resolve the relevant disputes between China and the Philippines, or to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, but to deny China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea,” the statement said. Beijing said that Philippine had earlier agreed to resolve the dispute mutually but by taking it to the tribunal, had violated the international laws. It said it will continue to work with countries directly concerned to resolve the disputes in the South China Sea through negotiations and consultations “on the basis of respecting historical facts and in accordance with international law”. The South China Sea is a resource-rich strategic waterway through which more than $5 trillion worth of world trade is shipped each year. China has placed runways and radar facilities on new islets in the disputed waters, built by piling huge amounts of sand onto reefs. China’s expansive claims over the South China Sea, contested and mirrored by the Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Taiwan have triggered concerns globally, with the US sending its warships in the disputed waters.

Beijing, Jul 12 (IANS): China on Tuesday rejected an international arbitration tribunal’s ruling against its claims over the South China Sea, dismissing it as “null and void.” Beijing said it will not accept nor recognise the verdict which it described as having “no binding force”. “The Republic of China solemnly declares that the

award is null and void and has no binding force. China neither accepts nor recognizes it,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said its reaction to the ruling. The arbitration tribunal in The Hague on Tuesday rejected China’s claims to almost the entire South China Sea, backing the Philippines which had approached the court in 2013.

7th DEATH ANNIVERSARY of our beloved mother LT. NYEMCHE (13.07.2009)

Dear Onyü (Mom) Seven years have passed, since you left us for heavenly abode. Feels like yesterday, those moments, when you taught, rebuked, encouraged and gave us unforgetable memories. We always remember you as a kind, loving, simple, caring, joyful and a beautiful mom. Words cannot express how much we miss your presence. But the hope that we will meet again in a better place comforts us. We also thank God Almighty for making you as our mom and those opportunities that we had, to spent time with you. Missing you a lot.

On this day, two years back, Father, you have suddenly left our family without letting us see that your life clock has been stopped, not giving us a chance to nurse you and to revive your life. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say "goodbye", you were gone before we knew it. We still miss the wisdom in your advice and just being in your presence. Although you have passed away, you have left us with great examples of how we should lead our lives and we comfort ourselves with the belief that we will meet again one day. DP-4468

The trains each had four carriages. A photograph released by the fire brigade showed that three carriages had disintegrated under the impact, suggesting at least one of the trains had been traveling at high speed. “It looks like there has been a plane crash,” said the mayor of Corato, Massimo Mazzilli.

China launches space tracking ship

Bari, Jul 12 (Agencies): Twenty people died and dozens were injured when two passenger trains collided head-on in southern Italy on Tuesday, a regional official told reporters. The force of the impact crumpled carriages and sent debris flying into an olive grove that flanked the single stretch of track in countryside between the towns of Corato and Andria. “Unfortunately the death toll has risen to 20,” said Giuseppe Corrado, the deputy head of the local province. He appealed for blood donors to go to local hospitals. Firemen worked in fierce summer heat after the crash, which happened at around 11.30 a.m. (5:30 a.m. ET)), picking through the wreckage and shattered carriages in search of other victims. “The rescue is compli-

Beijing, Jul 12 (IANS): China’s new generation of space tracking ship, the Yuanwang-7, which will perform maritime tracking of manned spaceflight Shenzhou-11, was formally launched on Tuesday after a 60-day trial period. The vessel, designed by China, marks a new high for China’s space tracking technology, said an official statement. Shenzhou-11 will carry two astronauts to dock with Tiangong-2, China’s second orbiting space lab to be launched later this year. The docking is expected to allow two astronauts to live in space for up to 30 days. The Yuanwang-1 and Yuanwang-2 ships, China’s first-generation space tracking vessels, were launched in 1979.

Two passenger trains are seen after a collision in the middle of an olive grove in the southern village of Corato, near Bari, Italy on Tuesday.

[Kiir’s] forces are directed to cease any hostility and abide by the order and control their forces,” Ateny told Reuters. “President Salva Kiir is determined to carry on his partnership with Riek Machar.” Machar responded by ordering his troops to stand down. “The president has declared a unilateral ceasefire, I want to reciprocate the declaration of unilateral ceasefire,” he told the independent Eye Radio. Much is unclear, however, about the latest violence in Juba, including what the objective of either side has been and how much control Kiir and Machar have over their forces. The U.S. State Department said it was carrying out an “ordered departure” of its staff from South Sudan. The fighting has raised fears of a return to the civil war that erupted in late 2013 and broadly ran along ethnic lines, pitting Kiir, an ethnic Dinka, against Machar, a Nuer.

LONDON, Jul 12 (Agencies): An “emotional” British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday chaired his last cabinet meeting before handing over the baton to Theresa May who will assume charge on Wednesday, becoming the UK’s second woman premier after Margaret Thatcher. Cameron will cede power to 59-yearold May after visiting Buckingham Palace to resign on Wednesday. In one of the final tasks of his premiership, Cameron on Tuesday gathered his top team for a final time. The meeting was described as “emotional” by Culture Secretary John Whittingdale who said “there was a touch of sadness” to the Prime Minister and his ministers. Cameron had announced he would be stepping down for a new prime minister to take the Brexit negotiations forward with the European Union a day after the June 23 vote in favour of Britain leaving the economic bloc. “It was emotional but quite rightly we spent a lot of time on the Government business. But then we had a period in which people paid tribute to the extraordinary service the Prime Minister has given, led off by George Osborne and Theresa May our new prime minister. And then we looked forward to getting back to work,” the leading Brexit campaigner told Sky News. Whittingdale said his Cabinet role was “entirely a matter” for Theresa May to decide on but said he was “very happy to continue” in Government if asked to do so.

JUBA, jul 12 (ASgencies): South Sudan’s president and vice president ordered their loyalists to cease hostilities on Monday after days of fighting threatened to plunge the country back into civil war and bring further instability to an impoverished region of Africa. Fighting erupted four days ago in the capital Juba between followers of President Salva Kiir and Riek Machar, the former rebel leader who became vice president under a deal to end a two-year civil war. The violence, which has killed hundreds of people, broke out as the world’s newest nation prepared to mark five years of independence from Sudan on July 9. Presidential spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny said Kiir and Machar had spoken by phone on Monday, a day which saw tanks and helicopters involved in some of the fiercest clashes yet. “All the commanders of

point agreement that the Maoist party and CPN-UML forged in May was also national consensus,” he pointed out. “But as the leadership of the existing government was not ready to implement the nine-point agreement and the three-point gentlemen’s agreement (including change in government leadership), it would be politically inappropriate for our party to remain in this government. Thus, we withdraw our support from this government now.” Oli and the Maoist chief had reached a verbal agreement in May to hand over the leadership of the government to the latter after the parliament endorses the new budget, according to sources close to Prachanda.

aylor Swift has topped Forbes’ annual list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities. With a $170m (£130m) fortune, the singer-songwriter is ahead of Adele, who’s at number nine with $80.5m (£61.9m), Madonna is in 12th spot with $76.5m (£58.8m) and Rihanna at number 13 with $75m (£57.7m). Taylor’s 1989 World Tour earned more than $200m (£154m) last year. The star’s ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris is in 21st spot with $63m (£48.4m). Other top 10 earners include boy band One Direction at number two with $110m (£84.6m), actor-comedian Kevin Hart at number six with $87.5m (£67.3m) and US radio DJ Howard Stern at number seven with $85m (£65.4m). Kim Kardashian is featured on the magazine’s cover. She’s number 42 on the list with $51m (£39.2m). Forbes says 40% of her pay this year came from her mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. The game’s maker, Glu Mobile, is scheduled to release an app starring Taylor Swift

next year. Katy Perry is at number 63 with $41m (£31.5m). “The world’s 100 highest-paid celebrities pulled in $5.1bn (£3.9bn) pre-tax over the past 12 months, more than the GDP of Belize, Gambia and Bhutan combined,” Forbes said. Magazine editor Zack O’Malley Greenberg said live entertainment continues to be a major cash draw. “From soccer games in Spain to concerts in China, fans are willing to shell out to see big names - and this is driving the celebrity economy to ever greater heights,” he said in a statement. On the Hollywood front, Jennifer Lawrence was the industry’s highest-paid actress for the second consecutive year, earning $46m (£35.1m), a slight drop from the $52m (£39.7m) The Hunger Games star banked the year before. Jennifer Lawrence Actor Dwayne Johnson wrestled the highest-paid actor spot from Iron Man’s Robert Downey Jr, earning $64.5m (£49.3m), largely thanks to the billion-dollar Fast and Furious franchise and the surprising

success of 2015’s San Andreas movie. Many athletes also made the list, including Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo ($88m - £67.2m), tennis player Roger Federer ($68m - £51.9m), and British F1 driver Lewis Hamilton ($46m - £34.9m). There are other Brits at 18 (Rolling Stones), 25 (Paul McCartney), 34 (Gordon Ramsay), 44 (Muse), 60 (Rory McIlroy), 61 (Elton John), 67 (Mumford & Sons), 77 (Gareth Bale) and 82 (Ed Sheeran). Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay

Kumar are among the world’s highest-paid celebrities of 2016, according to an annual list by Forbes. The list has been topped by American singer Taylor Swift with an earning of USD 170 million. Shah Rukh ranks 86th on the list with earnings of USD 33 million, while Akshay comes in on the 94th spot with USD 31.5 million earnings. Forbes said the “Fan” star “continues to rule Bollywood’s box office” with lead roles in hit films and also earns multimillion dollars upfront fees and a cut of the back end for his efforts. “He also cashes

in on endorsement deals for dozens of brands most Americans have likely never heard of,” Forbes said. Akshay, 48, however slipped in ranks this year from 76th in 2015, Forbes said adding that he is one of Bollywood’s busiest leading men and banked top rupee for three hit films. “The action star bolsters his earnings endorsing a wider range of products than most Hollywood shills including motorcycles and gold loan company.” Top 10 highest-paid celebrities 1.

tudy shows that young Americans pay for music more than their parents Young Americans pay for music more than their parents, according to a new study. The research was carried out by John Blackledge and Tom Arcuri of financial services company the Cowen Group. Business Insider report the study found that 46% of respondents in the US aged between 18-24 had bought music over the course of the past month, compared with 26% of the 45-54 age group. The findings also show that only 26% of the 65 and overs paid for material over the same time. The findings appear to challenge the perception that young people tend not to pay for music. Cowen have also found that while Spotify is leading the way when it comes to streaming services, it’s finding increasing challenges from Amazon, Apple, Pandora and YouTube. They say that revenue from on-demand music services is expected to double by 2021 and will rise from 18% of industry revenue this year to 40% by 2021. K

aiser Chiefs have explained the motivation behind working with Xenomania, the production team behind Girls Aloud and Sugababes, on their new album. Xenomania boss Brian Higgins produced Kaiser Chiefs’ new album ‘Stay Together’. Out on October 7, the album also features co-writes with Westlife songwriter Wayne Hector and pop singer MNEK. Speaking to NME backstage before their show at the Palladium theatre in London’s West End, singer Ricky Wilson said: “The music world has changed. Ten years ago, we’d have been against co-writing with other musicians. It was: ‘We’re a band, it’s about what the five of us can create behind closed doors.’ But that’s a daft way to approach it. Why, for the sake of ego, would you not

make a song as good as it can possibly be?” Hector, who has written hits including ‘Flying Without Wings’ for Westlife and One Direction’s ‘Best Song Ever’, co-writes ‘Sunday Morning’ on the new album, while MNEK co-wrote ‘Press Rewind’. Wilson said: “Those were songs that I’d taken so far and couldn’t push any further. On ‘Press Rewind’, I was spent. A few days later, Brian Higgins said: ‘I’ve got someone else to have a go.’ When he played us what MNEK had done, it was fucking brilliant. People are more impressed that we’ve got Wayne and MNEK writing with us than if we’d done it on our own. They’re going ‘Wow, how did you get Wayne Hector?’ and I’m: ‘I didn’t even know he was doing it.’” The Palladium show previewed five songs from

‘Stay Together’, including new single ‘Parachute’. Bassist Simon Rix said: “It’s taking longer to work out how to perform each song live than with a normal Kaiser Chiefs album, where it’s about guitar, bass, drums and keys. We’re trying to work out who played what in the studio with Brian. But you want modern technology. You don’t want to just be dinosaurs with guitars.” Having previewed ‘Parachute’, ‘Hole In My Soul’ and the title track of ‘Stay Together’ on their tour of forests, the Palladium gig saw ‘Press Rewind’ and ‘Why Do You Do It To Me?’ played live for the first time. Alongside ‘Take My Temperature’ and the second half of ‘I Predict A Riot’, ‘Press Rewind’ was one of three songs Wilson sang from high above the stage after climbing to the top of the theatre’s lighting rig.

to perform it with them. But they’ve made it clear that they have no intention in reuniting at any point. So, life is short, this is going to be my 50th birthday and it just felt like the right time and place to finally play this music. “I wrote all five of these songs with the intention of them being performed from start to finish, and I would have loved nothing more than to be doing it with Dream Theater. But it’s obviously not on the cards for them. “I can’t sit around waiting for a reunion that may not happen. That being said, all four Dream Theater guys have an open invitation to join me on the cruise. I would love nothing more than for them to be there with me.” Portnoy wrote the collection of tracks to deal with his experience of alcoholism. He turns 50 on April 20, 2017.

The drummer recently revealed that he’ll perform all five tracks of the 12 Step Suite in their entirety and in sequence on the Cruise To The Edge floating festival, which sets sail from Tampa, Florida, on February 7 and runs until February 11. The 12-Step Suite is made up of five tracks, each of which featured on separate Dream Theater albums and Portnoy said he alway intended to play it live.

According to the document, the team’s victory will lead to revenue from sectors including federations, publicity agencies, hospitality, restaurants, cleaning services, newspapers, television stations, sports brands and travel agencies among others, Xinhua reported.

New Delhi, Jul 12 (Agencies): PR Sreejesh and Sushila Chanu were named captains of the Indian men’s hockey team and women’s hockey team, respectively, that will compete at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Sreejesh’s appointment comes as a surprise as Sardar Singh, who has been the Indian captain over the past few years, is in the squad. Sardar was the skipper in the 2012 London Olympics too. Sreejesh led India to a historic silver medal at the recently-held Champions Trophy, in which Sardar did not play. He played a stellar role in leading India to their best finish in the 38-year-history of the tournament. The team played a brilliant final where they held eventual champions Australia to a goalless draw in the regulation time before losing in a

LOS ANGELES, Jul 12 (Agencies): San Antonio Spurs star power forward Tim Duncan on Monday announced his retirement after 19 seasons in the NBA, ending a glittering career that included five National Basketball Association championships and 15 All-Star Game appearances. The 40-year-old Duncan, who was originally selected by the Spurs as the first overall pick in the 1997 NBA draft, spent his entire career with the team. They reached the playoffs in every one of his 19 seasons, the team said in a statement. “ N i n e t e e n s e a s o n s. F i ve r i n g s. O n e t e a m . #ThankYouTD,” the Spurs tweeted. Duncan, together with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, formed one of the most successful trios in NBA history. They hold the league record for regular season wins (575) and postseason wins (126), according to the team. Duncan and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich also formed a dynamic duo, accounting for the most wins ever by a playercoach duo at 1,001. Duncan, a three-time NBA Finals MVP and a twotime regular season MVP, is widely regarded as one of the

best power forwards ever to play the game. He averaged 19 points and 10.8 rebounds per game during his career. Last season’s campaign was disrupted by a knee injury and he played in only 61 games. San Antonio was eliminated in the playoff this past season by the Oklahoma City Thunder. In a league where players often change teams, Duncan was an anomaly -- he remained with the Spurs for 19 seasons, a mark tied by Laker great Kobe Bryant, who retired this season, and retired Utah Jazz guard John Stockton. At the end of June, Duncan had exercised a $6.4 million player option for next season, but talk of retirement loomed large. Spanish star Pau Gasol, who during his career has played power forward and center, has reportedly agreed to join San Antonio on a two-year deal worth $30 million, after spending the last two seasons with the Chicago Bulls -- and it now looks like he will help fill the void left by Duncan. Ginobili, 38, has said he plans to take his time in deciding about playing a 15th season for the Spurs for $2.9

The five-time gold medal winners were the first team to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics as they beat Pakistan in the 2014 Asian Games final, where Sreejesh helped India win in the penalty shoot-out. Sushila was appointed the Indian women’s hockey team after Ritu Rani was dropped by the selectors due to poor form and attitude problems. Indian women’s team qualified for the first time in Olympics after stellar show at the Hockey World League Semifinals in 2015. Their maiden and till now only appearance in the Olympics was in the 1980 Moscow edition, but there was no qualification process back then.

The 28-year-old from Tamil Nadu has played 156 international matches so far. Of late, Sardar has been embroiled in off-field controversies. Recently, he was accused of rape by a British hockey player. His performance has dipped on the field too, as he is no longer as sharp a midfielder as he used to be.

Tottenham were subsequently granted permission by Alkmaar to hold talks with the forward and they flew him to London to cast an eye over the Spurs training ground at Hotspur Way. But Spurs had their first offer of £15m rejected by Alkmaar who, on the advice of ‘Moneyball’ baseball expert Billy Beane, said he was worth more.

Kingston, Jul 12 (PTI): West Indies pacer Jerome Taylor has bade adieu to Test cricket after a 13-year long international career but will be available for selection in the shorter format of the game. The 32-year-old, who took 130 wickets in 46 Tests, was not considered for the squad which will play against India in the four-test series after he gave a “formal notification” of his decision to retire, the WICB said in a release. Taylor had made his international debut against Sri Lanka in 2003 and played his last international test series against Australia in January this year. Plagued by injuries, the Jamaican had spent almost five years out of the Test side between 2009 and 2014.

Chennai, Jul 12 (Agencies): Indian Super League (ISL) season 2 champions Chennaiyin FC have announced that they have retained defender Ber nard Mendy for the third season of the ISL. With 28 appearances, Mendy is Chennaiyin’s most capped player and has also netted three goals including the famous bicycle-kick strike against Kerala Blasters in 2014.

We believe he will once again inspire our team both on and off the field,” said Chennaiyin FC co-owner Mrs Vita Dani. “We are very happy to have Bernard at the club for the third consecutive season. His class and experience were instrumental in our consistency in the first two campaigns. We look forward to another strong season from him,” Chennaiyin FC head coach Marco Materazzi stated.
