of concern” but rejected the contention that the violence in the valley was a result of the BJP getting into power at the state.

A PDP MLA was attacked by a stone pelting mob while fresh clashes between protestors and security forces on Monday left five people injured in Kashmir where curfew continued for the 10th day following the unrest in which 39 people have died.

Mohammad Khalil Band suffered injuries when a mob pelted stones at his vehicle in Pulwama district last night.

Newspapers fail to hit stands for third day: Local newspapers in curfew-bound Kashmir failed to hit the stands Monday for the third consecutive day after the government’s alleged “clampdown” on the media in the aftermath of widespread protests in the Valley.

No local daily -- English, Urdu or Kashmiri -- was available as the newspaper owners decided not to publish them after the “clampdown” by the government on Friday night.

Jammu and Kashmir Police on Friday allegedly closed down the offices of at least two printing presses after seizing plates of newspaper and printed copies in Rangreth Industrial Estate in the outskirts of the city here.

Local news agencies also said they have stopped their news bulletins after police allegedly asked them not to issue those.

India-Thailand road link to be a reality soon NEW DELHI, JUL 18 (AGENCIES): In the near future, if you wish to visit Bangkok, one of the options on the table is likely to be taking a bus ride, as talks are in an advanced stage to implement a project promoted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to start a regular bus service between India and Thailand via Myanmar.

The bus service would be part of a transport agreement being negotiated by India, Thailand and Myanmar for completion of the historic 1,400-km highway currently under renovation.

Top ADB officials said the negotiations are expected to be concluded next year, as the Indian government has offered Myanmar financial assistance to upgrade bridges along the route linking India’s Northeast with Myanmar and Thailand. Sources in the Union Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that 73 bridges inside Myanmar, built during the Second World War, are being renovated, to ensure that the highway is safe to use.

The MEA has already invited tender for selection of a contractor for construction of 69 bridges, including the approach roads on the TamuKyigone-Kalewa road section of the Trilateral Highway in Myanmar on engineering, procurement & construction (EPC) mode. The bid closes on July 19.

Post-Matric Scholarship mess; another ‘exodus’ in the offing Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUL 18 (NPN): Hundreds of students who secured admission under the initiative of Eastern Naga Students Union Dimapur (ENSUD) Education Initiative Committee and studying in various colleges across India have expressed fear that they might suffer the same fate like the 150 students who, in 2015, were unceremoniously kicked out of their college on account of non-payment of scholarship by the Nagaland Government.

On Monday students studying in various colleges and Universities of Mewar, Divya Jyoti College, Adhunik College, International Group of Institution and Mewar Girls College along with parents held a join meeting with ENSUD at Dimapur town hall and deliberated on the issue.

At the meeting, ENSUD stated that on July 6, 2016 they (ENSUD) submitted a memorandum to the state chief minister to release the full scholarship under the PostMatric Scholarship Scheme of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India for the year 2014-2016.

ENSUD informed it requested the CM to respond on or before July 9, 2016, to which the CM assured to reply within ten days. However, ENSUD rued the CM haven’t responded to their memo yetdays after expiration of the ten-day period.

NEW DELHI, JUL 18 (PTI): Rejecting ‘plebiscite’ demands as an “outdated” idea, the government on Monday asserted that Kashmiris are “our own people” who are being “misguided” as it blamed Pakistan for the unrest in the valley and said all parties will be taken along in dealing with the situation.

The unrest in Kashmir resonated in Rajya Sabha on the opening day of the Monsoon session, with the House taking up urgent discussion during which the opposition slammed the government and pressed for holding an all-party meet while pitching for a political solution rather than using “barrel of the gun”.

The opposition, while attacking Pakistan for fanning trouble in Kashmir, asked the government to initiate a political process and direct security forces to exercise restraint while dealing with protests.

Replying to the debate, Home Minister Rajnath Singh affirmed that while militancy will be dealt with sternly, there should be “no instant” use of bullets while dealing with mobs which should first be tackled by the use of teargas and water cannons.

The use of pellet guns, which have been blamed for most civilian injuries, would be looked into, regarding which he will talk to chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, he said.

Singh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he himself had asked security forces to exercise maximum restraint in dealing with mob violence which started after the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani in an encounter on July 8. “Whatever is happening in Kashmir is Pakistansponsored. The name is ‘Pakistan’, but its acts are ‘na-pak’ (not pious),” Singh said.

for ‘plebiscite’, he ruled it out, saying it is “outdated” and people of Kashmir are being “misguided” on this issue.

“Kashmiris are our own people. We will bring them on the right path... We will make them aware of the reality,” he said.

Earlier, initiating the discussion, Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad said while his party stands with the government and the PDP-BJP coalition in the state in dealing firmly with militancy, the “excessive use” of force against the common citizens, including children and women, is not acceptable.

For the current unrest, the Congress leader blamed a number of reasons including BJP’s participation in government with PDP in the state, provocative statements made by some leaders of BJP and RSS besides Pakistan, “whose existence is the root cause of all problems.”

He underlined that Kash-

DIMAPUR, JUL 18 (NPN): Judicial Inquiry Commission (JIC) constituted by the state government to probe the July 16, 2015 Wuzu firing incident on Monday said that the question of delay in submitting the report was wrong and sought to clarify apprehensions and displeasure expressed by civil society organisations during “candlelight service” held at Kohima on July 15, 2016.

In a press release, JIC secretary, K. Naben, asserted that the commission constituted vide Nagaland government notification dated November 13, 2015 initiated the process of enquiry and some witnesses filled written statements were also received but found those written statements not in proper order.

In the meantime, JIC said that the government vide letter dated December 9, 2015 demanded that the report of the Dimapur jail breaking incident and lynching case be submitted first. Therefore, it said the Wuzu firing incident investigation process was put off and jail breaking incident report was finally submitted on March 9, 2016.

Further, JIC stated that the then secretary to the commission resigned in the month of April 2016 and the new secretary could be posted/attached only on May 10, 2016. Subsequently, JIC said the commission undertook a tour to Meluri on June 17, 2016 and

mir cannot be ruled “through the barrel of the gun or bullets” and demanded that responsibility be fixed for “excessive use” of force. Azad said the “bullets that are meant for militants should not be used against our own people in Kashmir”.

He even questioned why such bullets and pellet guns were not used in Haryana which had witnessed large scale Jat violence over quota in February.

Azad also demanded allparty meeting on the issue, a sentiment echoed by almost all other parties. Some demanded sending of an all-party delegation to Kashmir.

Azad also blamed TV channels for whipping up passion through talk shows.

This sentiment was echoed by members of various other political parties also.

Leader of House Arun Jaitley admitted that the situation in Kashmir was a “matter

held a press conference in the Dobashi’s Court of Meluri headquarters on June 18, 2016, which was attended by all the administrative and police officers, public leaders of Pochury Hoho, Pochury Mothers’ Association, Phokungri Area Public Organisation, Pochury Students Union, Pochury Youth Association, village leaders of both Wuzu and Phor, parents of the deceased victims, injured women besides media persons.

At the press conference, it said the commission sensitised the administrative and police officers based at Meluri and leaders of various Pochury organisations to come forward with written statements in the form of affidavits. It said all leaders also assured full cooperation to Judicial Inquiry Commission.

Accordingly, JIC said a public notice was served dated June 20, 2016 notifying that within a period of one month’s time the witnesses were supposed to file the written statements in affidavits to the office of JIC. The date of filing written statements is to be on or before July 20, 2016.

Therefore, the commission said “the question of delay in submitting the report by JIC does not hold water”.

Meanwhile, JIC has requested stakeholders to bear with the commission and extend cooperation for early submission of the report.

DIMAPUR, JUL 18 (NPN): Alleging that the state government has “decimated the lawful authority” of the State Vigilance Commission (SVC) by its recent resolution dated June 8, 2016, the Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has urged the government of Nagaland “to restore the legal powers to the State Vigilance Commission” by revoking the erroneous resolution without delay.

In a representation addressed to the chief secretary, the NTC president Lendinoktang Ao and committee on state vigilance commission, NTC convenor Theja Therieh objected to the concluding sentence of the resolution, which read “This Resolution modifies to the above extent all previous Resolution and Notifications concerning the State Vigilance Commission”.

Stating that the last sentence was “a complete contradiction to the opening sentence”, the NTC said over and above, all the previous resolutions and notifications concerning the SVC stood modified.

It pointed out that the clause 1 of the June 8, 2016 resolution confined the jurisdiction of the SVC to

just the employees of state government and also the employees of the public corporations, statutory bodies and undertakings of the state.

Whereas, NTC said not only government employees but any private individual or group of private individuals could cause offence against the interest of the state.

However, it stated that the amended provision kept the private individual or private firm immune from the purview of SVC. “This amendment is a defeat of the purpose for which the Nagaland State Vigilance Commission is step up,” said NTC, adding that clause 2 of June 8, 2016 resolution modified the power of inquiry of SVC to the extent of removing the power of suo-moto.

Further, NTC claimed that June 8, 2016 resolution “though not specifically referred to” has indeed emasculated the clauses 2 and 5 of the first Resolutions of April 9, 1976, which provides that the SVC “will not be subordinate to any Deptt. and will have the same measure of independence and autonomy as the State Public Service Commission”.

Asserting that clause 3 of June 8, 2016 resolutions has made

the chief secretary to have the “overriding authority” over the Commission arbitrarily, NTC said such dilution of the powers of SVC would “definitely hamper the efficiency of the investigative authority.”

NTC observed that June 8, 2016 resolution has subjectively divested the legal powers of the only investigative establishment (SVC), adding that “by this resolution, the Commission has now become a mere showpiece.”

The council maintained that if SVC was “to be reduced to a paper tiger as this”, it was as good as winding up the commission “because there is no necessity to have such Commission without legal investigative powers.”

Urging the state government to restore the legal powers to the SVC by revoking the erroneous resolution without delay, the NTC said it expected the government to “rectify the anomalies committed in the resolution in question within two weeks time.”

NTC cautioned that in the event of the government remaining insensitive to its demand, the council would be compelled to take the issue to the next level.

They lamented that ST Students from Nagaland were yet to receive the full amount whereas ST students from other states in the same colleges and universities have received their full scholarship.

Student representative from Mewar University, T. Thomas Konyak, said during their meeting with the officials of Ministry of Tribal Affairs GoI, the officials had held the state government responsible for not showing interest in the matter unlike the other states and remarked that the Ministry of Tribal Affairs was willing to assist if the state government shows interest.

Handing out a copy of the release of central assistance to state government of Nagaland towards full and final instalment of projected expenditure for the year 2015-16 (scheme of Post-Matric Scholarship to ST students) by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs GOI, wherein an amount of Rs.26,46,34,161 to the state government of Nagaland was released on February 4, 2016, the officials questioned as to why the state government was taking time to release the scholarship when five months have passed by.

They also questioned the State Level Committee set up which has yet to come up with any findings or reports.

With no concrete response from the State government, the students concluded that they are liable to agitate against the state government.

MTLT meets EE over Mkg power outage DIMAPUR, JUL 18 (NPN): To take stock of the latest status of the power outage problem in Mokokchung, the Mokokchung Town Lanur Telongjem (MTLT) met the Mokokchung electrical division executive engineer (EE), N.

Cooperate to probe fuel racket: NPF youth wing NSSATA refutes CM’s ‘co-terminus’ remark Dimapur, Jul 18 (NPN): In the light of the raging controversy on the setting up of Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe into fuel adulteration racket exposed recently by Dimapur district administration, police and ACAUT volunteers, the NPF Youth Wing Monday appealed to all concern to cooperate and work out for ways and means on how to book the culprits involved instead of criticizing the investigation team.

In a press release, NPF youth wing media cell has also appealed to all concern not only to accuse, blame or criticise; but also learn to appreciate and cooperate.

On the other hand, NPF youth wing wanted the SIT to expedite its findings and not to prolong the matter which would otherwise give chance for the guilty to flee, suppress evidences or influence anyone that would be detrimental to fairness and justice.

The youth wing further asked every right thinking citizen to appreciate the state

government for setting up the SIT to investigate whether adulteration of fuel is also being sold in other outlets in other parts of the state, and that guilty should be brought to book without any bias.

It also appreciated chief minister T.R. Zeliang for setting up SIT to bring the guilty to book, stop the malpractice and deliver justice to the people.

The youth wing also stated that the efforts of the district administration and the volunteers of ACAUT needed to be appreciated by everyone since adulteration of fuel, especially adulterated diesel if distributed to outlets all over the State would adversely affect all diesel-run motor vehicles.

“It is galling that the few identified kingpins of the racket have been running the malpractice at the expense of the public, and under the very nose of the administration for decades, making lakhs and crores of rupees in the process illegally”, the youth wing said.

It claimed that this malpractice were also reported in the past, where complaints lodged and in some cases accused were caught but released on bail. “This must have emboldened the wrong doers and the magnitude of the racket, and the quantum of adulterated fuel being supplied to the outlets, has assumed alarming proportions now”, the youth wing stated.

It was for this reason, NPF youth wing said that the preceding Governments failed to do, or were unwilling, but the present government had taken a bold step and initiated a move which can reach to a logical and satisfactory conclusion.

However, the youth wing reminded that it was through the initiative of the chief minister, state government has decided to implement the National Food Security Act in the districts of Kohima and Dimapur by July this year, and to cover the remaining districts of the State by August.

The youth wing said

by implementing NFSA, the state government was “bringing out new wine in a new bottle”, which could benefit more than 11 lakh people. To achieve this goal, the department of food and civil supply was working on “war footing”.

Knowing that the implementation of the Act will have huge financial implications on the State Government, the government has decided, and that “NFSA is going to be a reality and that pilferages of food grains and other essential commodities to the beneficiaries would be minimal, if not impossible, with the support of the people”.

The youth wing further claimed that pilferage of SK Oil, presently used to adulterate diesel fuel and reportedly emanating from the F&CS rations to the beneficiaries, would be checked and directly go to the beneficiaries alone once NFSA is implemented a proper way. It will also go a long way to check fuel adulteration in the State, NPF youth wing said.

DIMAPUR, JUL 18 (NPN): Refuting the purported statement of the chief minister that “SSA teacher employees were bound to be co-terminated along with projects and schemes”, the Nagaland SSA Teachers’ Association (NSSATA) on Monday asserted that SSA teachers of 2010 and 2013 batch were appointed as regular state government employees and were not coterminus in any case.

In a press release, NSSATA general secretar y Thungchamo Lotha pointed out that as per advertisement dated November 20, 2009 and government notification dated October 20, 2009, the word “co-terminus” was not found mentioned in the recruitment norms.

The association also stated that as per appointment order dated May 4, 2010, the appointment orders were issued according to the approval of the government order dated March 29, 2010.

NSSATA said terms and condition point 2 clearly stated that in the event of discon-

tinuation of SSA programme, their pay and allowances would be borne by the state. It said point 4 mentioned deduction towards GPF/GIS. Further, the association said in the advertisement dated December 9, 2011 for recruitment of teachers , there was no reference to SSA or co-terminus. NSSATA said in the appointment order issued in March 2013, it was mentioned that deduction towards NPS@10% of the total emolument and GIS should made.

Also, the association pointed out that SSA teachers appointed in 2010 and 2013 were recruited with the approval of three proper channels of the state government – state cabinet, P&AR and the finance department – as regular employees through open competitive examination on merit basis.

The examination was conducted by SCERT and appointment orders were issued by the department of school education with no reference

by SSA mission authority, it

said.

NSSATA said at a meeting on May 16, 2016 at chief secretary’s conference hall, the chief secretary, finance commissioner, commissioner & secretary school education, additional director school education, all additional directors of schools education, mission director SSA and various subordinate officials acknowledged that SSA teachers of 2010 and 2013 batch were regular government employees. Besides, it said the minister of school education Yitachu during a meeting on May 28, 2016 in Kohima also acknowledged the nature of their appointment as on par with the rest of the state teacher employees and were entitled for equal service benefit. It said the school education department had included SSA teachers in the seniority list prepared in 2015.

In the light of the above, t h e N S S ATA t h e r e f o r e claimed that the question of SSA teachers of 2010 & 2013 being co-terminus did not arise.

Further, PSU said it was against the claim that AR treats all people of Nagaland with respect, when they are terrorizing and killing innocent people. “After killing two of our innocent students and grievously injuring a mother without any provocation whatsoever, the AR, shamelessly calling themselves ‘Friends of the Hill People’, have the audacity to condemn the Pochury Students’ Union for speaking out the truth.”

Manmohan Singh colluded and conspired against Assam: Sarma

Himanta Biswa Sarma GUWAHATI, JUL 18 (PTI): Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Monday alleged that former prime minister Manmohan Singh had “colluded and conspired” against the state by not giving it oil royalty on pre-discounted price.

“Manmohan Singh is the man who colluded and conspired against Assam -- his own state from where he was elected to Rajya Sabha -- by

not giving oil royalty at prediscounted rate.

“With him, Tarun Gogoi (former chief minister) had also colluded and conspired,” Sarma said at a press conference in the Assembly complex.

Stating that Gujarat High Court had awarded oil royalty at pre-discounted rate to Gujarat, Sharma noted the Singh government had moved the apex court against the decision, a step which had a direct bearing on Assam.

“I would have brought a censure motion against the former prime minister if I did not have extreme personal regard for him,” he said.

Sarma said the current government at the centre has asked the PSU oil companies to pay the royalty on prediscounted price with effect from January 1, 2014 and Rs 1,480 crore for the same was released two days ago for Assam. The Finance minister also made a statement inside the House on the same issue when it was raised by AGP MLA Pabindra Deka.

Student body demands fair interview

Correspondent

DIPHU, JUL 18: United Students’ Union of Karbi Anglong (USUKA) has demanded Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) authorities to conduct fresh interview for appointment of several posts lying vacant in the office of deputy director of Panchayat and Rural Development (P&RD) in Diphu.

In a press release, USUKA president Rajib Tisso and general secretary Welson Tisso alleged that the department had conducted an interview for selection of candidates for the post without sending calling letters to the candidates who filled up forms for it.

Moreover, the interview was conducted on the day of general strike in the hill district, it said.

“Many candidates could not appear for the interview due to lack of public transport on that day.

We strongly condemn the act of the department for conducting the interview in absence of majority of candidates applied for the post,” it also said.

USUKA also threatened to launch a vigorous movement if the department fails to conduct fresh interview for selection of candidates for the post.

G U WA H AT I , J U L 1 8 (AGENCIES): The threat from the Islamic State (IS) and other jehadi elements towards Assam and other parts of the northeastern region cannot be overlooked and the government should take adequate precautionary measures before the situation goes out of control.

This was the observation by security analyst Lt Gen (Retd) DB Shekhatkar.

Talking to The Assam Tribune, Lt Gen Shekhatkar said, “We will be fooling ourselves if we say that the threat is not real.” He pointed out that there is a new term called ‘home grown terrorism’, which is now frequently used in Bangladesh that is facing a serious terrorist threat. He said that the outfits like the IS do not have to send fighters all the way from Iraq and Syria to create disturbance in places like Assam. Such outfits only need to radicalize local youths with their ideology to create trouble as they have done in Bangladesh, he pointed out. He also said that Assam having a sizeable immigrant population,

the threat is very much real and the government would have to take adequate measures to thwart any such threat.

Lt Gen Shekhatkar, who is well versed with the ground situation in the Northeast as he had served in the region in various capacities, including the GoC of the 4 Corps of the Army, suggested that intelligence gathering is one of the keys to deal with such threats.

He expressed the view that the security agencies would have to go for anticipatory threat analysis and predictability threat analysis to thwart any move by the jehadi elements to create trouble. He admitted that India is still weak in anticipating threats and “we only act after the militant or terrorist outfits manage to create trouble.”

The former GoC of the 4 Corps of the Army said that when the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) started establishing roots in Assam, no one took the militants seriously and only later a full-scale operation had to be launched. He also pointed

out that no Chinese person came to Assam to help out the ULFA or other militant outfits, but members of the outfits went to China. Similarly, the IS leaders will not have to come to Assam to train up local youths, he added.

Pointing out that the jehadi elements can create trouble in Bangladesh and sneak into India and vice versa, Lt Gen Shekhatkar stressed the need for augmenting security measures along the international border with Bangladesh.

He said that the order of using only non-lethal weapons by the BSF should be withdrawn as the criminals should be given a strong message. The facilities offered to the BSF personnel deployed along the border should be improved immediately, he said.

Lt Gen Shekhatkar also pointed out that if the Act East Policy of the Government of India is implemented properly, Assam would be the main hub of trade and commerce and the adversaries of India would not like the policy to become successful.

When the Speaker moved ahead with the scheduled business of the day, the entire Opposition walked out of the House for the day.

For ensuring timely payment of wages, the central government has started National Electronic Fund Management System (NeFMS) in 11 states, Yadav said in a separate reply.

The state governments have been advised to notify the rules and implement the system of compensation for delay in wages payment and to review and discuss with the programme officers this, he added.

In another reply, the Minister also informed that special camps are being organised in campaign mode at block level or gram panchayat level for linking the Aadhaar numbers of MNREGA workers with their bank accounts.

MNREGA is a demanddriven wage employment programme. Not less than 100 days of employment are provided to registered workers upon receipt of their demand.

Clampdown on media: PCI seeks report from govt

HCU clash: ABVP leader held for assault HYDERABAD, JUL 18 (PTI): Days after two groups of students clashed on the campus of Hyderabad University here following a meeting on “Kashmir situation”, ABVP leader N Susheel Kumar and others have been booked for allegedly assaulting an M Phil student.

The M Phil student, Amol Singh, claimed that the attackers mistook him for a Kashmiri.

Police also booked Singh after Kumar, accused of abetting the suicide of dalit scholar Rohith Vemula on the campus in January, alleged in his cross complaint that Singh had attacked them.

Gachibowli police have booked Kumar and 30 others under sections 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC after Singh alleged that some ABVP students “brutally” attacked him on Saturday evening, a senior police officer told PTI on Monday.

Similarly, based on a complaint lodged by Kumar, a counter case has been registered against Singh with Miyapur Police under sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and other relevant sections of IPC, he said, adding that both the cases are under investigation.

On July 16 evening, a scuffle had broken out between twogroups of students after a meeting was conducted to “condemn” the police action against protesters in Jammu and Kashmir, at the shopping complex on the varsity campus.

In his complaint, Singh alleged that Kumar and others rained punches and kicks on him on the campus after mistaking him for a Kashmiri student while he was returning

to JAC, a group of students had conducted a”public discussion on the current situation in Kashmir on July16 evening and the ABVP cadres took out a bike rally in the middle of the night as a reaction to that programme.”

“They mistook Amol (Singh) for a Kashmiri student and thrashed him while shouting anti-Muslim slurs and abuses. Susheel Kumar was one of the leaders of this ABVP gang,” theJAC alleged.

UoH, also known as HCU, has been witnessing sporadicprotests since Vemula’s death with a section of students demanding dismissal of Vice-Chancellor Podile who is amongst those booked for abeting the dalit scholar’s suicide.

“Kumar, who has been accused of abetting suicide ofdalit research scholar Rohith Vemula, is once again on a spree of attacking students on campus and this has been made possible because he and his brother with others enjoy impunity because of the BJP and RSS support.

“The University administration and Podile Appa Rao are part of the same nexus. This incident again exposes the BJP/ RSS nexus that operates in the University. The fact that action has not yet been taken upon Podile Appa Rao, is responsible for facilitation of such violence,” the JACalleged.

It stated that the struggle put up by students seeking justice for Vemula has been going on even after six months despite “constant harassment from university.”

“Podile Apparao and University administration, alongwith ABVP students, are deliberately creating controversies to divert the attention from Rohith Vemula issue and to victimisestudents.

the Upper House, has been at odds with the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal was also vocal against his party’s alliance with it.

AAP’s Punjab convenor Sucha Singh Chhotepur hailed Sidhu’s decision and said the party was “looking forward” to welcome him.

“Navjot Singh Sidhu is most welcomed to join @ AamAadmiParty @sherryontopp @AAPPunjab2017.

Appreciate Navjot Sidhu and Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu Move, looking forward for their Welcome to @AAPPunjab2017 @AamAadmiParty @DrDrnavjotsidhu (sic),” he tweeted.

Asked if Sidhu could be made AAP’s CM candidate in case he decides to take the plunge, AAP’s Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann said, “Whoever joins AAP, he is clearly told that it has to be unconditional.”

Sidhu, a former Lok Sabha MP from Amritsar, was convicted in a culpable homicide case in Patiala and is out on bail.

Reacting to his resignation, Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh said BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu’s resignation from Rajya Sabha was a “foregone conclusion” as he had been left with “little option”.

“Pushed to the wall by the Akalis and his own party, the BJP, maintaining a conniving silence, Sidhu was left with little option other than resigning,” he said.

“He (Sidhu) may have resigned from Rajya Sabha today, but we all know he had virtually withdrawn from active politics for a long time

and was left with only a token presence in the BJP,” he said, adding that hence, his resignation from Rajya Sabha and maybe even from the BJP sooner or later, does not come as a surprise.

The senior Congress leader said given the treatment meted out to him and his wife by the Akalis, the BJP’s alliance partner, Sidhu’s continuance within the party (BJP) defied all logic.

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said “nobody likes Dalbadloo” (turncoat) while reacting to the speculations that cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu along with his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu may join AAP. However, he refused to comment on the decision of Sidhu who resigned from Rajya Sabha seat.

“This is his (Sidhu) decision what can I say,” Badal told reporters here this evening. When he was asked that speculations were rife that Sidhu along with his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu, who is also Chief Parliamentary Secretary in SAD-BJP regime in Punjab, might join Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Badal said, “He joins whichever party. But nobody likes Dalbadloo (turncoat),” said Badal.

In a surprise move, BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu today resigned from Rajya Sabha amid rising speculation that he could join Aam Aadmi Party.

The resignation of 52year-old Sidhu, who was nominated on April 22, has been accepted by Chairman Hamid Ansari with immediate effect.

NEW DELHI, JUL 18 (PTI): Press Council of India (PCI) chairman Justice Chandramauli Kumar Prasad has ordered registration of a complaint over alleged crackdown on media in the Kashmir Valley and sought a report from the state government on the issue within a week.

His direction came on a complaint by president of Jammu and Kashmir Press Association G H Kaloo on alleged “attack on press” in the restive state.

“The Chairman took into consideration the communications made by Council members expressing their concern about state of affairs in Jammu and Kashmir and prima facie being satisfied sought reports within one week from the Chief Secretary, Secretary (Home) and Director General of Police,” the PCI said in a statement.

The Editors Guild of India had yesterday condemned the Jammu and Kashmir government for “unwarranted muzzling” of media in the state and termed as “unfortunate” the attempts “to shoot the messenger”. The newspaper owners in violence-hit Kashmir have decided not to publish newspapers after authorities allegedly raided some media houses and seized their printed copies on Saturday.

Local newspapers in curfew-bound Kashmir failed to hit the stands for the third consecutive day today after the alleged “clampdown” on the media in the aftermath of widespread protests in the Valley following the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces.

Navjot Singh Sidhu also upset with the BJP, were on for the past few months and he will join the party soon.

Sidhu’s wife, who is a BJP MLA from Amritsar (Rural) is also expected to follow suit.

However, the party is still tight-lipped over declaring him as its chief ministerial face.

Sidhu’s decision came on a day when AAP chief Kejriwal is touring Punjab as part of the party’s intense push to capture power in the northern state by defeating the incumbent SAD-BJP alliance and Congress in a triangular contest. He is also expected to join the meet Kejriwal soon. The buzz of Sidhu joining the AAP was on after the party won four Lok Sabha seats from Punjab. He was also reportedly upset over the party denying ticket to him from Amritsar.

The party, however, tried to pacify him by sending him to Rajya Sabha.

NEW DELHI, JUL 18 (PTI): Six suspected ISIS operatives were allegedly conspiring to carry out terror activities in national capital and adjoining regions and during Ardh Kumbh in Haridwar to terrorise people, the NIA today told a special court.

According to the sources, in its charge sheet filed before District Judge Amar Nath, National Investigation Agency (NIA) claimed that the accused were planning to assemble Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) from explosive materials extracted from “match sticks”.

The court has put up the charge sheet for consideration on August 25.

The charge sheet was filed against Akhlakur Rehman, Mohd Azeemushan, Mohd Meraj, Mohd Osama, Mohsin Ibrahim Sayyed and YosufAl-Hindi under Section 120 B (conspiracy) of IPC and several provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in the case. While the five accused are currently in judicial custody, Yosuf-Al-Hindi is wanted in the case.

“They were conspiring to carry out a terror activity in the area of Delhi/NCR and during Ardh Kumbh festival in Haridwar in order to create terror in the minds of people of India and send global message that they are representatives of ISIS in India,” the charge sheet said.

It further added that the “accused owed their allegiance to Islamic State/Islamic State and Levant (ISIL)/ Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to further its activities in India by way of motivating Muslim youths in this regard and ulti-

mately train and prepare them to carry out terror activities in India and also to shift them to countries like Syria, Iraq etc.” “...they were conspiring to carry out terror acts by planting IEDs during the Ardh Kumbh Mela, Haridwar, and for this, they were in the process of acquiring explosives and the necessary expertise in assembling the IEDs with the help of literature provided to one of them through internet,” the charge sheet said.

The case was filed by the special cell of Delhi Police on January 18, 2016. On the directions of Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the case was later transfered to NIA. The report further said that the members of the gang were in touch with each other through mobile phones and various other communication platforms such as WhatsApp, Surespot, Twitter, Trillian, Skype and Facebook.

“Their association with each other is established on record and the recovery of explosives in the form of explosive materials from the matchsticks. The extraction of explosive nmaterials from match sticks was to be used for assembling of IEDs,” the report said.

KOLKATA, JUL 18 (PTI): A BJP-backed outfit in West Bengal will conduct a census of cow population in the state in an attempt to raise awareness about how to protect them.

From August 1, hundreds of volunteers of the Gau Raksha Committee, which has many BJP members, will fan out in the state for the exercise, the outfit said. The survey will be done in two parts. A head count of cows will be done and it will be repeated after Bakr Eid in September to see how many cows went missing.

“Every year during Bakr Eid, thousands of cows are slaughtered and are smuggled to Bangladesh. This has to stop.

It is true that cow slaughter is not banned in the state but even if a cow is to be slaughtered, there are certain norms to follow,” Subrata Gupta, president of committee, told PTI. Asked to explain the ‘norms’, Gupta said, “A cows is eligible to be slaughtered and sold if she is 14 years of age, doesn’t have any disease and is not pregnant. A medical officer also needs to certify. But in most of the cases, a cow as young as four years old is sold and smuggled.”

NEW DELHI, JUL 18 (PTI): Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar, who was involved in a spat over Twitter with Congress leader Shashi Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushkar hours before her death, has been questioned

by Delhi Police in connection with the murder case.

Pakistani national but she had earlier stated that she was open to joining investigation into the matter and had also written to a senior official communicating the same.

51-year-old Sunanda was found dead at a suite in a fivestar hotel in South Delhi on the night of January 17, 2014, a day after her spat with Tarar on Twitter over her alleged affair with Tharoor, the Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.

NEW DELHI, JUL 18 (PTI): Cricketer-turned-BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who quit as Rajya Sabha MP on Monday , is all set to join the AAP which could be a shot in the arm for the party’s prospects in the Punjab Assembly polls slated next year.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hailed Sidhu’s resignation from the Upper House, saying it requires courage to give up a Rajya Sabha membership to “save” his state.

Top AAP sources said the 52-year-old politician will join the party in a few days’ time. There was speculation that Sidhu may be in the race for AAP’s chief ministerial candidate in the state.

“People can give their rt hand for an RS seat. Ever seen a sitting RS MP resigning to save his state? I salute Sidhu ji for his courage,” Kejriwal, who is currently touring Punjab, tweeted.

AAP’s senior leader and party’s Punjab affairs in-charge, Sanjay Singh said “Navjot Singh Sidhu has taken a brave step by resigning from membership of Rajya Sabha and I welcome his decision. The official announcement will be done at the right time.

“In the war between the dharma and adharma, he will come along.

Singh had claimed that he was attackedagain near a hospital.

In a counter complaint, Kumar accused Singh and his friends of assaulting him and other ABVP members.

Kumar alleged that the group of students raised separatists slogans after the meeting on “Kashmir issue”following which they objected to it.

“The university has received complaints from students groups and (that) laid down procedures will be followed in dealing with the same,” University Pro Vice-Chancellor 1 and official spokesperson Professor Vipin Srivastava said.

Controversial custodians

I

t was not without reason that Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar had sought for abolition of the post of governor on the ground that the existing federal structure of India does not warrant such a post.

Nitish said this while addressing the 11th meeting of the inter-state council in Delhi presided over by prime minister Narendra Modi. Nitish Kumar’s remarks, came against the backdrop of the Supreme Court’s severe criticism of the Arunachal Pradesh governor over dismissal of the Congress government in the state and some opposition-ruled states and accusing the occupants in Raj Bhavans of working politically at the Centre’s behest. The roles of the executive heads- the President of India at the national level and the governors at the state levelhave been the subject of intense debates. Like the President of India, the governor is a titular head and can only act on the advice of the elected chief minister and the council of ministers. President and Governors are de jure or nominal executive at centre and state respectively. Constitutionally both are integral part of the central and state executive authorities. Both enjoy prestige and hold responsibility endowed upon them by the Constitution of India. One very important function assigned to both is that it is only after their assent a bill becomes a law. This unique and pragmatic feature prevents the existence of an authoritarian and despotic state.

Apart from this there are various other fields where these institutional positions are held in high esteem.

The nation’s and state’s decision are made known by these two. Both the position are enshrined in the constitution of India and cannot be abolished.

Any act of abolishing these posts would lead to institutional vacuum in the constitutional setup of the country. While the president of elected by the elected members of state legislatures and both houses of parliament, the governor is appointed by the President on the advice of the prime minister and the cabinet. The governor appoints the chief minister and on the latter’s advice, other ministers and several important state officials such as the advocate general, the chairman and members of the State Public Service Commission are appointed.

Recently the office of the governor has come under sharp criticism especially the actions of the governors of Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh. Both incumbents had acted in highly partisan manner to favour the party or alliance of the central government. The role of the governors has therefore become a re-ignited debate. Governors are supposed to be the custodians of the constitution and strictly impartial. However, when ruling parties award their faithful old members or even former bureaucrats willing to do their bidding; it is not surprising that the office has lost its reputation and image. If a governor lacks experience or maturity, then controversial decisions would not be surprising. However, when the incumbents are people who have risen to the highest positions in their professions and who are considered of good reputation; it is shocking that such people could grossly violate the constitution in order to please their political masters. When the Supreme Court has severely chastised the actions of such incumbents, it is only right that they should be asked to resign. If the prime minister is not willing, then the President of India should do it, at least as a symbolic gesture.

DailyDevotion The Mystery of Believing He said, “Who are You, Lord?” —Acts 9:5 Through the miracle of redemption, Saul of Tarsus was instantly changed from a strong-willed and forceful Pharisee into a humble and devoted bondservant of the Lord Jesus.

There is nothing miraculous or mysterious about the things we can explain. We control what we are able to explain, consequently it is only natural to seek an explanation for everything. It is not natural to obey, yet it is not necessarily sinful to disobey. There can be no real disobedience, nor any moral virtue in obedience, unless a person recognizes the higher authority of the one giving the orders. If this recognition does not exist, even the one giving the orders may view the other person’s disobedience as freedom. If one rules another by saying, “You must do this,” and, “You will do that,” he breaks the human spirit, making it unfit for God. A person is simply a slave for obeying, unless behind his obedience is the recognition of a holy God. Many people begin coming to God once they stop being religious, because there is only one master of the human heart— Jesus Christ, not religion. But “Woe is me” if after seeing Him I still will not obey (Isaiah 6:5 , also see Isaiah 6:1). Jesus will never insist that I obey, but if I don’t,I have already begun to sign the death certificate of the Son of God in my soul. When I stand face to face with Jesus Christ and say, “I will not obey,” He will never insist. But when I do this, I am backing away from the recreating power of His redemption. It makes no difference to God’s grace what an abomination I am, if I will only come to the light. But “Woe is me” if I refuse the light (see John 3:19-21).

Post-mortem

What do you say backward tag!! An encounter with the IBI’s I W hat is the stand of an advanced tribes and how do you reacts the most backward tribes in Nagaland towards the recent selection system of the allocation of MBBS & BDS course studies seats by the Common Selection Board of NSEE-II for the session of 2016-17 under the department of Technical Education?

Because some of the tribes in Nagaland claimed as backward tribe but in many fronts these tribes are more advanced than the advanced tribes in Nagaland.

And some tribes were advanced tribes before 1973 but afterwards degraded into backward tag and still continuing as backward tribes. Thanks to the Rengma tribe for their bold decision as they have recognized their efficiencies and the backward tag of their tribe has been denounced. And it is not only in MBBS/BDS studies reservation quota but everything such as: NPSC, Divisional level and ministerial job quota and other technical studies course etc, Chakhesang and Zeliang tribe usually used to tops.

For the present example, overall numbers of seats allocation; Angami have got 10 seats and Chakhesang and Sumi got 8 each including one backward quota for Chakhesang. So far, my observation and general bird’s eye view is concerned from the year 1994 till date Chakhesang and Zeliang tribes became either in a first, second and third position in every competition in Nagaland for overall performances percentage or tribe-wise population ratio. And for the present instances calculation of MBBS/BDS allocation, Chakhesang tribe has got highest nos of seats according to the

tribe-wise population ratio and Angami tribe stood in a second place.

It is naked truth that, the first class gazette officers of the single Chakhesang backward tribe are more than whole nos of ENPO areas 6 backward tribes first class gazette officers and the nos of 1st class gazette officers of single village in Zeliang tribe, one of the backward tribes in Nagaland are more than the most populous tribe of whole Konyak.

As per the latest record of Human Resources Development index in Nagaland, Chakhesang tribe claimed at the top list who had obtained Ph D degree in Theological studies. And in actuality; Chakhesang and Zeliang elites are think tank of Nagas comparison to Ao and Sumi intellectuals.

My conscience is very clear that, I have no ill will nor envy or jealousy towards any particular community or individual but I am just trying to highlight the reality in Nagaland which general public must think and ponder upon and realize the actual truth and reality since both the advanced and backward tribes are being perished and deprived of its own privileges at the mercy of backward tag but in reality they are not backward tribes. I recalled that, during the course of agitation for separating the 25% reservation quota for ENPO tribes I had a hot argued and words of petty wrangled with my Zeliang and Chakhesang friends to impose door to door anti backward campaign in order to reveal the actual fact and for creamy slice.

And in Nagaland, Chakhesang seems to be one of the most advance tribes and in terms of many Zeliang

hen I flip the newspaper, my eyes directly fall on the report given by K. Therie on 13 July 2016, about the 12th NLA session, which was held from 12-14 July 2016 in Kohima, and on the First day of the session i.e. 12”‘ July, the meeting lasted for 15 minutes (Only 15 minutes). Is It that the meeting was just to say hi and hello to one another or maybe 10 minutes to boil the water and make tea where another 5 minutes to drink and end up the session.

I’m not a writer or scholar or a judge trying to prove them wrong but am just a student who wants to see change. The moment I read, a question just strikes my mind that is, “Ayah! Why do we vote to such candidate who does not even think to bring development or change in the society?”

For this reason the NBCC has warned us through the clean election campaign as well as clean election Sunday which we recently had on May 22, 2016 also given us a passage from Psalm 125:3. In addition, warned us “why you must vote. Only when you cast your vote you do fulfill your Christian responsibility in government.”

Therefore, we have to choose the right candidate which can help or bring change and development for the society. Using ones own vote can change. This NLA session has taught us to think deeper. The GoI has made a budget for every corner of Nagaland for development whereas they shared the budget and bring development only in some places and publish it in the paper.

The 3 C’s of Life: Choices, Chance and Change. You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change.

A saying goes “Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made, if you want different results, start making different choices.” Hence, in the coming general election what are we going to do, will you take the money and let the candidate rule over us for years and with that money we enjoy for few days or choose the right candidate and enjoy every year. Zig Ziglar said that “Every choice you make has an end result.”

Therefore, the choice is Yours.

tribe was second to none as the first Chief Secretary was from Zeliang and so also is the present incumbent Chief Minister in the state and the single village having first class gazette officers more than that of the most populous tribe in Nagaland still claiming as backward tribe is an illogic. Yes, some portion of these areas could be lagging behind in terms of infrastructural development but Socio-Economically, Educationally and regionally; Konyak, Pochury and Khiamniungan are the only backward tribes in Nagaland. It is naked truth that, we Konyaks are the most victimized and deprived tribe in Nagaland as in every reservation quota of roster system, more than Two Lakhs Seventy Thousand population of Konyak tribe is getting same allocation or single NCS/NPS post and that of having only Thirty to Forty Thousand populations in the single tribe is getting equal shares. And even though it is pained to us of depriving our dues privileges in front of our nose and being shamed to be in a backward tag yet the common naked reality cannot be avoided which is undeniable fact and one has to bear all these agonies tightening its anus. So, what is the stand of the both advanced and backward tribes in Nagaland and what do you think and reacts to the some of the most advanced tribes in Nagaland continued to claim as backward tribe? “Do not hide the truth and reality from the eye of Ethics”. And there is no judge to give the verdict but you, me and we only. Rejoinder, any refute and comments are welcome!

t was on December 28, 2014 when I came back from Guwahati to Dimapur at around 7 pm, I happened to witness an incident which is unforgettable.

A taxi was ready to move out waiting for a single passenger to be occupied, and I ran towards it and hopped in feeling lucky to have got a seat at a late hour.

The taxi then moved towards Kohima. I was fully unaware that I was with the Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants (IBI’s) in that cab. As we reached 7th mile, the transporter of the IBI started to teach the immigrants how to interact with the police at the check gate and moreover they were given new names by the transporter.

He was instructing them although I could not understand their language they were asked to pronounce their names multiple times by the Accomplice. I was so infuriated looking at them as it was happening right before my eyes. The driver was also with them. Before reaching the check gate at Chumukedima, again the transporter asked their names and this time they were asked to pronounce their parents name and the village.

However, the night got lucky for them as we reached the Chumukedima check gate there was no one to halt our taxi for checking.

They easily passed the check gate and this made me dumbstruck, I was wondering if such transportation is done so easily then many

Climate change warming Asian waters, altering monsoon

he study indicates future ocean warming in the region, could increase the amount of rainfall during monsoons,...but most of that rain would fall before the monsoon front reaches land.

Each year as temperatures rise across India, farmers look to the sky and pray for rain.

The all-important monsoon forecast becomes a national priority, with more than 70% of India’s 1.25 billion citizens engaged in agriculture and relying on weather predictions to decide when they will sow their seeds and harvest their crops. But getting the forecast right remains a challenge, thanks to the complex — and still poorly understood — ways in which South Asia’s monsoon rains are influenced by everything from atmospheric and ocean temperatures to air quality and global climate trends. Even the amount of ice in Antarctica is suspected to have an impact. And it’s only getting harder to figure out, scientists say, as the monsoon becomes increasingly erratic.

A new study released Friday in the journal Science Advances helps clear up a bit of the mystery, by showing that man-made climate change is responsible for most of the change seen in ocean surface temperatures near the equator across Asia, which in turn affect regional rainfall patterns including the Indian monsoon.

By showing that link, the study indicates future ocean warming in the region, which could in turn increase the amount of rainfall during monsoons, strengthen

cyclones and increase precipitation over East Asia.

“This has important implications for understanding changes in rainfall patterns for a large, and vulnerable population across Asia,” said oceanographer Evan Weller, who led the research team while he was at Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea, before recently shifting to Monash University in Australia.

The study looks specifically at a mid-oceanic body called the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool, which holds some of the world’s warmest seawaters and spans the western Pacific to the eastern Indian Ocean.

Scientists have long known that India’s monsoons are partly influenced by that warm pool.

And they’ve known that the pool has been expanding — and warming — for decades. That expansion and warming have already caused some sea rise around islands in Asia.

It wasn’t entirely clear why the pool was changing, until now.

Weller and his team compared data observations with several climate models, and deduced that rising greenhouse gases along with aerosols and other atmospheric pollutants were the dominant cause of the pool’s warming and expansion over the past 60 years, though regional climate variations also had some effect.

“This wasn’t entirely surprising. We’ve long suspected climate change to be behind the changes, but no one had yet proven it,” Weller said. What they didn’t ex-

pect was to find that the western portion of the pool, near India, was expanding more than the eastern part in the Pacific. “We don’t really know why. We’ll try to figure that out next.”

But one thing is clear: If climate change trends continue, and by most indications they will, forecasters will have to consider the warm pool in their monsoon predictions. And by demonstrating how greenhouse gases are the dominant driver of changes in the warm pool, the team has added another dimension that can help improve climate models.

Asia, in general, could face significant consequences from this trend: more storm activity over East Asia, and stronger South Asian monsoons between June and September.

That sounds like good news for water-scarce India, but probably isn’t. Most of that rain would likely fall before the monsoon front reaches land. Already, studies by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology show a declining trend in precipitation over land.

Still, climate modelling is complex, and models still have their biases and limitations. Focusing so specifically on the warm pool may obscure the larger picture, some suggested, especially in the Pacific where there are many other factors at play.

“My only concern is that treating the western Pacific warm pool in isolation provides very limited insight,” said climatologist Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University.

Helping youth build work skills for job success

E

mployment is a crucial aspect of a youth’s journey towards adulthood. Families of youth, including youth with disabilities, play a vital role in helping youth explore careers that match their strengths and interests and in helping youth understand the importance of building basic work skills so they are prepared for employment. The term “work skills” may seem vague, but it simply refers to basic abilities and habits employers are looking for in their employees. Work skills are a combination of “hard skills,” the foundational skills that employers desire like reading, writing, and math, and “soft skills,” the common-sense, everyday skills, like getting along with others, that help youth succeed in all aspects of life.

Many work skills have benefits that extend beyond the work place.

Learning work skills can contribute to a youth’s ability to function independently in the community, have positive experiences in postsecondary education, and thrive in social situations. There are several strategies available to families to help their youth develop work skills.

Which Skills are Needed to Succeed?

In the 1990s, several initiatives attempted to classify the types of skills needed to succeed in the workplace. Among these efforts were the Secretary of Labor’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS)

IBI’s might be infiltrated easily into Kohima.

I wished to protest at them but who knows it was already late night that I might be thrown out in the woods if I uttered a word or complained about the issue. That is the reason why I remained silent throughout the journey. They were successful in reaching Zubza area. The driver stopped the cab whereas the immigrants and their accomplice went out. The driver also went out of the cab and as I turned around to see what was happening, I just saw the driver receiving 4000 rupees. The driver came back to his seat, and drove straight off to Kohima.

That night I couldn’t sleep thinking about the incident. I forgot about the incident but my friend narrated to me how he too happened to encounter travelling with the IBI’s to Kohima. He told me how after reaching the check gate the transporter told the police that the IBI’s were Priests (Imam) and they were allowed to pass.

This prompted me to write down this article.

Although, IBI issue is much debated there is no such action towards them as they are easily creeping in our neighbourhood.

We all heard about the Brussel, Paris or Dhaka attack by the terrorists, therefore if any terrorist creeps into Nagaland disguising themselves as IBI’s then it will be disastrous to our society.

and the National Institute for Literacy’s (NIFL) Equipped for the Future Framework (EFF). The NIFL effort is holistic because it addresses some key foundational “hard skills,” specifically reading, writing, and math skills, along with the important “soft skills” that help people succeed in the workplace, and as members of families and society.

Ten of the 16 EFF-defined work readiness skills fall within the following four categories and are recognized as important for developing entry level skills needed across all industry sectors. The EFF skills include: • Communication Skills: Read with Understanding; Convey Ideas in Writing; Speak so Others Can Understand; Listen Actively; and, Observe Critically.

• Interpersonal Skills: Guide Others; Resolve Conflict and Negotiate; Advocate and Influence; and, Cooperate with Others.

• Decision Making Skills: Use Math to Solve Problems and Communicate; Solve Problems and Make Decisions; and, Plan.

• Lifelong Learning Skills: Take Responsibility for Learning; Reflect and Evaluate; Learn Through Research; and, Use Information and Communications Technology.

Below is a breakdown of what can be considered work skills and soft skills under the EFF Framework.

Please note that the EFF Framework

does not formally break up its 16 skills areas in this way.

Work Skills • Observe Critically • Convey Ideas in Writing • Read with Understanding • Use Math to Solve Problems and Communicate • Solve Problems and Make Decisions • Plan • Advocate and Influence • Guide Others • Use Information and Communications Technology • Learn Through Research Soft Skills • Listen Actively • Speak So Others Can Understand • Cooperate with Others • Resolve Conflict and Negotiate • Take Responsibility for Learning • Reflect and Evaluate These are the critical skills for employment. Youth who have these skills are more likely to be hired and less likely to be fired, giving them an important advantage in today’s job market. Families play a significant role in helping youth learn these skills.

Every employer seeks employees who have the skills needed to do a given job. While employers understand that many youth lack technical skills that come with education, training, or previous work experience they do expect youth to possess work skills and soft skills needed for job

success. These include being able to solve problems and communicate effectively with others, and assuming personal responsibility for learning and attendance. Regrettably, employers report that many youth are coming to work without these skills.

Families who understand what these skills are and help their youth develop these skills give their youth a real advantage in the job search.

Becoming prepared to enter the world of work is a process, and nothing promotes that process better than gaining real work experiences. Sadly, many youth lack opportunities for work experiences. This is especially true for youth with disabilities and other at-risk and disconnected youth.

So where are youth going to learn the work skills needed to be a success on the job? Families might assume that this is the school’s responsibility, but schools often do not address the variety of work skills youth need. Often, it is families who take the lead.

For youth with disabilities, the role of family in building work skills is especially critical. Some youth may have disabilities that impact their ability to read, do math, or complete complex tasks. These youth may need extra help in mastering work skills and identifying effective accommodations that can be used on the job to increase efficiency and improve job performance.

He was not involved in the study.

“One has to view it as part of the larger tropical Pacific coupled ocean-atmosphere system and the dynamics of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation, and how they may change in a changing climate.”

Anxious to improve its forecasting, India is investing at least $43 million through 2017 to buy more powerful computers and better technology that can help specialists make more accurate calculations and models of seasonal weather forecasts. Meanwhile, researchers from across the world are launching one study after another to better understand the many dynamics involved.

“It is not so easy to predict the monsoon,” said meteorologist B.P. Yadav, a spokesman for the Indian Meteorological Department.

“There is variability from region to region, time to time, and then the rains move in different stages across the land.”

Indian meteorologists had announced this year’s monsoon would be normal, only to watch the rains make landfall a week late in the southern state of Tamil Nadu and then stall repeatedly on their month-long progression north. At one point, officials urged farmers to wait to sow until they actually saw the raindrops falling from the sky.

But on Friday, when the monsoon was scheduled to hit New Delhi, the sky turned ochre and millions in the long-sweltering Indian capital delighted in the ontime relief of rain.

Don’t politicise the fuel adulteration racket issue Sir,

The recent exposure of fuel-adulteration racket by the ACAUT is highly commendable.

However, it is sad to learn that instead of acknowledging the ACAUT’s initiatives, the state government is politicising the issue. It must be noted that ACAUT’s apprehension on the SIT formed by the government is not unfounded given the track record of SITs/HPCs in the state.

Moreover, the state government and law enforcement agencies should be ashamed of the fact that the racket was busted by ACAUT, and not the agencies assigned to deal with law and order. The episode presents an opportunity for the government and law enforcement agencies to introspect whether they are up for challenges facing the state.

The fact that a racket of such proportion existed unbeknownst to Nagas all this while somehow indicates a bigger nexus and some ‘big’ names are likely to crop up in the course of investigation i.e. if the investigation is unbiased and without interference or intimidation.

Therefore, I appeal to the government to kindly stop politicising the case and applaud the ACAUT for doing the Govt’s job. Instead of engaging in confrontations, it will be highly appreciated if the govt investigate the case sincerely and prove its detractors wrong.

National/state

BENGALURU, JUL 18 (PTI): Facing mounting pressure, Karnataka Minister K J George on Monday resigned shortly after acourt directed police to register an FIR against him and twotop police officers in connection with alleged suicide of aDySP, which has kicked up a huge storm in the state.

George stepped down within hours after a local court atMadikeri in Kodagu district gave the direction on a privatecriminal complaint filed by the deceased police officer M KGanapathy’s son Nehal requesting it to direct the police totake up investigation against the minister and two officersfor allegedly abetting his father’s suicide.

“I have submitted my resignation...it is left to theChief Minister (to accept or not),” George, Minister forBengaluru development, said, adding, he had taken the step topave the way for an impartial probe.

Asserting that his conscience was “clear”, George said”... I have not harassed anybody... I will come out clean.”

The order by Additional Judicial Magistrate First ClassAnnapurneshwari came, as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah facedgrowing clamour to remove George, with the Opposition stallingproceedings of both the Houses of legislature, which were abruptly adjourned sine die on Monday much before the July 30schedule.

Ganapathy’s wife Pa-

K J George

vana and Nehal had approached thecourt, stating that the police had rejected the complaintlodged by them with the Kushalanagar police on July 10 againstGeorge and IPS officials A M Prasad and Pranab Mohanty.

In his complaint, Nehal had said his father had made a”dying declaration” naming George and the two officers andtheir acts amounted to “abetting the commission of suicide.”

Appealing to the court to take cognisance of the offencepunishable under IPC section 306 read with Section 34, thecomplaint had also claimed that the accused were highly placedand influential persons who had prevailed upon police fromtaking action against them.

George said he would take a “legal remedy” in the case.

Stepping up pressure after the court directive, BJP wenton a “Raj Bhavan chalo”

march requesting Governor Vajubhai Vala to direct the government to order a CBI probe and to drop George “in the interest of fairness and natural justice.”

As news of George’s resignation came, state BJP President B S Yeddyurappa said it had come after the court direction to file an FIR and added, “resignation is not important. An impartial probe is important.” “Along with George’s resignation, a CBI probe is required. Our fight will continue,” Yeddyurappa said after leading the march which came soon after the sudden end to the monsoon session of the state legislature.

Nehal’s counsel M T Nanaiah said Investigating Officerswould have to question George and the two police officers andtake a call on whether to arrest them or not depending ontheir probe.

“Hope we will get justice.

Let us see further whathappens,” Gapanathy’s wife told reporters at Madikeri.

Ganapathy (51) was found hanging from the ceiling fan ina room at a lodge in Madikeri on July 7, prior to which hegave an interview to a local TV channel, saying the ministerand A M Prasad (IG-Intelligence) and Pranab Mohanty (IGP-Lokayukta) would be responsible “if anything happens to me.”

Facing a combative Opposition, which has been stallingAssembly proceedings since Monday last, the state governmentconstituted a

judicial commission headed

by K NKeshavanarayana to inquire into the alleged suicide.

The commission would inquire into the “circumstances andevents” leading to the “unnatural death” of Ganapathy. Thecase was being probed by the state CID. The Opposition BJP and JDS had rejected the judicial probe, with the former insisting on a CBI inquiry.

A series of incidents involving alleged suicides by two DySps and resignation by another DySP has put the Siddaramaiah government in the line of fire of Opposition parties, which alleged that honest officials were being tormented.

Chikkamagalur DySP Handibag, named as accused in akidnapping case, was found hanging in his fatherin-law’s house in Belagavi district on July 5.

Prior to this, Anupama Shenoy had resigned as DySP ofKudlagi in Ballari district unhappy over alleged inteferenceby the then district in charge minister Parameshwara Naik, whohas since been dropped in the recent major ministry rejig.

The Siddaramaiah government faced the first major stormin March last year when senior IAS official DK Ravi allegedly committed suicide under mysterious circumstances, with the public and Opposition outrage forcing the government to handover the case to the CBI.

MTLT while assuring the EE that it would take efforts “to calm the already volatile public restlessness”, however, cautioned that “mass movements are not dictated by any individuals/organisations but a spontaneous overflow of common interests for the welfare of all.”

in both intensity and distribution,” said MeT Director Vikram Singh, adding that there was no ‘heavy rain’ warning for the state today or the next 3-4 days.

The current spell of heavy rains has affected the ChardhamYatra with the highways leading to the Himalayan shrines of Badrinath and Kedarnath still blocked.

Sahdev Chohri, a bank employee, was killed in Uttarkashi when the car he was driving fell into a swollen Bhagirathi river after being hit by a boulder due to a landslip, said Dharasu police station in-charge Ravindra Yadav.

The mishap occurred on Rishikesh-Gangotri national highway when Chohri was on his way from Chinyalisaur

to Uttarkashiwhere he used to work in Punjab National Bank, he said.

It took NDRF and SDRF personnel four hours to recover thebody from the river. A child drowned in Badhedi Rajputana village of Haridwar district after being swept away by flood waters this morning.

With these incidents, the number of casualties during the current spell of rains in the state has risen to 14 since Friday. Two more persons from Jamalpur Khurd village of Haridwardistrict drowned late last night.

Four persons were killed in Tehri district last evening astheir car was hit by debris falling from the hill due to a landslide triggered by heavy rains.

NE W D E LHI, J UL 18 (PTI): Senior IAS officer BK Prasad, who probed the Ishrat Jahan missing files case, has got two- month extension with Prime Minister Narendra Modi reducing the three-month period sought

by Home Minister Rajnath Singh.

In a letter to Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha, Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi has said that finding Prasad’s replacement will not be easy and changing the officer, who was recently in news for allegedly ‘tutoring’ a witness, will set the clock back by almost three months.

While seeking the threemonth extension, he also said that the probe is “highly sensitive” and the report may be discussed in Parliament.

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has then processed the request for Prasad’s extension which was approved by the Prime Minister for only two months till July 31.

Prasad, a 1983 batch IAS officer of Tamil Nadu cadre, was due to retire on May 31. The government has recently appointed Maharashtra cadre IAS officer Bipin Bihari Mallick as his replacement.

In the aftermath of the controversy surrounding the issue of missing papers from the file dealing with the filing of affidavit in Ishrat Jahan case, the Home Ministry had ordered an enquiry by Prasad on March 14, this year. The panel has submitted its report on June 15

MUMBAI, JUL 18 (PTI): NIA Monday filed a charge sheet against the chief recruiter for the banned ISIS terror groupin India Shafi Armar alias Yusuf-Al-Hindi and three others forallegedly being involved in various terror activities in the country.

The NIA filed the charge sheet against Armar, RizwanAhmed, Mohsin Ibrahim Sayyed and Ayaz Mohammed before as pecial court here under various sections of Indian Penal Codeand Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. While Armar and Mohammed are absconding, the two othersare in judicial custody.

The NIA said it found during the probe that Armar and histhree accomplices hatched a conspiracy between July andDecember 2015 to “influence, instigate, motivate andradicalise the young vulnerable Muslim youth from Malwani areaof Malad, Mumbai, to join the ISIS.” All the four had used numerous social networking platformsfor waging jihad by violent means to attract the attention oflike-minded persons and motivate vulnerable youngsters toindulge in terror activities for the banned internationalterrorist organisation, ISIS, with an intent to threaten theintegrity of the nation.

According to the NIA, Ayaz Mohammed went to Iraq viaAfghanistan and joined the ISIS. He was in contact with MohsinIbrahim Sayyed and a few other youths from Malwani, whom hetried to radicalise and motivate to join the ISIS.

Minor’s gangrape rocks Maharashtra assembly

MUMBAI, JUL 18 (PTI): The brutal gangrape and murder of a minor girl in Ahmednagar district rocked both the houses of Maharashtra Legislature as its Monsoon session got underway Monday with the Congerss-NCP opposition targeting the Devendra Fadnavis Government on a host of other issues as well.

A 15-year-old girl was brutally raped last week allegedly by three men who inflicted injuries all over her body and broke her limbs before throttling her at Kopardi village in Ahmednagar district.

The incident has sparked outrage as well as political slugfest, with the Congress demanding Fadnavis’ resignation on “moral grounds”.

Making a statement after ruckus by the Opposition in the Assembly, the Chief Minister said the accused in the heinous crime have been arrested and the case will be heard in a fast-track court.

Noted lawyer Ujjawal Nikam has been appointed as the public prosecutor in the case and the government has given Rs five lakh solatium to the victim’s family, Fadnavis said.

DNA samples of the victim and the accused have been sent for forensic tests, he said.

The issue also figured in the Legislative Council, where, backing an adjournment motion by Leader of Opposition Dhananjay Munde (NCP), senior Congress member Narayan Rane

hit out at the government saying that state Home department is in shambles.

The Upper House agreed to a short-duration debate on the issue tomorrow after the matter led to a 10-minute adjournment of the proceedings.

Taking a dig at Fadnavis who performed puja at Lord Vitthal temple in Pandharpur on the occasion of Ashadi Ekadashi last week, Rane said, “It seems as though the chief minister has entrusted the task of maintaining law and order to the Lord almighty.”

“Women are not feeling safe and the chief minister is only making statements,” he said.

He said that giving solatium and the appointment of Nikam as public prosecutor in the case will not bring back the girl to her parents.

Moving the adjournment motion, Munde said the Kopardi incident is scarier than the Delhi gangrape case.

“The anger among the people is palpable. The government is not serious, Chief Minister and Guardian Minister have no time to visit Kopardi,” he said, adding that the CM shows haste in defending his Guardian Minister. “Girls are scared of going to school. Attempts are being made to suppress the case as the statements were recorded late,” he alleged.

Council Chairman Ramraje Nimbalkar later ruled that the House would take up debate on the issue for a short duration tomor-

row after the question and answer session.

Raising the issue in the Lower House, NCP legislator Ajit Pawar said the Kopardi case was more heinous than the Nirbhaya gangrape in Delhi.

“I request CM Fadnavis to take action against the guilty, considering the victim as your and our daughter,” the former deputy chief minister said.

Former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan insisted that the House discuss the issue today itself.

Opposition leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, who raised the issue through an adjournment notice, said the matter was serious and the House should discuss it.

Fadnavis said the matter could be discussed in a meeting of party group leaders in the House, before it is discussed in the Assembly.

The Assembly later adjourned after transacting other items on the agenda, which included paying condolences to former members of the House and introduction of new ministers.

The session commenced amid vociferous protests by opposition against the BJPled government also on issues like corruption and agrarian crisis.

Slogan-shouting Congress-NCP legislators staged a protest on the steps of Vidhan Bhawan complex alleging that tainted ministers have been inducted in the cabinet by the CM during the recent ministry expansion and reshuffle.

Book LTC tickets on lowest fare or face action: Govt NE W DE LHI, JUL 18 (PTI): Employees who fail to buy air tickets at the lowest price available on the day while undertaking journey on Leave Travel Concession (LTC) claim will face severe penal action, as per the draft guidelines finalised by the Centre.

The move comes after the government noticed instances where some of its employees colluded with private travel agents to submit LTC claims showing inflated airfare to clandestinely obtain undue benefits like free boarding, lodging, transport or cash refunds.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is also looking into cases of alleged irregularities in availing the LTC claims.

The ministries concerned will also carry out random checks with airlines to ensure that the tickets were booked at the lowest fare available on the date of purchase. “It has now been decided that in accordance with the canons of financial propriety, government servants should purchase tickets at the lowest rate available at the time of booking for the date and time of scheduled journey.

“Government servant will be required to submit print-out of tickets showing date and time of booking in addition to the fare charged,” the new guidelines drafted by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.

There are about 50 lakh central government employees. The proposed guidelines have cited provisions of the service rules “which require the government servants to maintain absolute integrity at all times”. In addition, cheating and fraud also attract various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), it said.

“Ministries and departments should therefore not hesitate to take severe action against employees guilty of deliberate malpractices, particularly in collusion with travel agents etc,” the DoPT said.

Mumbai, Jul 18 (PTI): Equities fell for a second straight session today as the BSE Sensex gave up all of its early gains to end lower by 90 points at 27,746.66 on widespread fagend selling amid weaker opening in the European markets.

Things changed dramatically in the last one hour as profit-booking emerged and Europe-based shares opened lower following the failed coup attempt in Turkey at the weekend.

The first half was upbeat, driven by better-than-expected earnings jump by Reliance Industries. Shares of the firm rose to a high of Rs 1,039 intra-day, but later on profit-booking it fell to end the session 0.82 per cent down at Rs 1,004.25. FMCG major Hindustan Unilever shares fell 2.04 per cent to Rs 920.45 after company reported lower-than-expected 3.6 per cent revenue growth for the first quarter.

achieve tremendous expansion in exports despite significant devaluation of currency.

“Currency is a complicated animal. In the same way as a cheaper price for my exports may allow me to export more, it also means my imports are costly. Often exporters import a lot what they export. It is not obvious that just devaluing helps everybody,” he said.

Rajan believes India has a long way to go and needs strong sustained growth for many years to catch up with China’s GDP per capita.

He pointed out that China’s GDP per capita today is about four times that of India’s. At one point in 1960s,

He was asked if he feels any need to devalue the rupee to increase exports from the country in view of current scenario of global slowdown.

“Devaluation has lot of side effects including the fact inflation will pick up in the county. You have to pay significantly more for your imports and significantly more for oil. It will have inflationary impacts which will offset any benefits you may get from devaluation,” he said.

Hyderabad, Jul 18 (IANS): Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan believes the current value of the rupee is ‘pretty reasonable’ and devaluation may not be the key to increasing exports.

Any devaluation of the rupee will have inflationary impact offsetting any benefits the economy may get from devaluation, Rajan said here on Monday.

“My belief is that today’s value of rupee is pretty reasonable. I don’t think we should emphasise moving one way or the other as an answer to any problem,” he said while answering questions at a national seminar on ‘Equity, access

Coimbatore, Jul 18 (PTI): The Textile Ministry’s direction to CCI to sell the entire balance quantity of cotton only to MSME category spinning mills was also leading to speculation of prices and availability, an industry body has said. Since the directive will give a boost to “Make in India”, a fresh study should be carried out to know how the domestic textile industry can use CCI for its benefit and bring in reforms to suit today’s changing global environment, Secretary of Indian Texpreneurs Federation (ITF) Prabhu Dhamodaran said. The body has suggested that there is a need to bring in reforms in Cotton Corporation India (CCI) in the wake of the Textiles Ministry direction.

Stating that many in the industry strongly believed that CCI selling cotton to traders was also leading to speculation of prices and availability, Prabhu said. However, he lauded the decision saying, the ministry has taken a right direction to support millions of farmers and also industry, which is giving employment to millions of workers.

both were at the same level.

He said a few years of strong growth will not help because there will be very slow growth after that. “We need sustained growth which is why we need systems in place and we need macro stability in addition to growth,” he said He, however, was of the view that just GDP numbers are not enough to say that the country has developed. He said there were many other factors like the harm done to environment which was not measured by GDP. “It would be good if we reach their level of GDP without the kind of environmental damage that has occurred in some parts of China and that is occurring in some parts of India. We have to have environmentally sustainable development path but we will also benefit from having equitable development path,” he said while stressing the need for financial inclusion.

“Equity ensures that every citizen rise to his potential and benefits of growth are not captured by a few. We have to make sure that capacity to grow is there for everyone,” he added.

On farmers’ suicides, Rajan said it was a complex phenomenon and there was a need to work on all fronts.

He called for understanding the complex phenomenon and emphasising the need to make access to credit easier.

He, however, said overlending was as much a problem as access to credit.

According to reports, the gunman, served in the US Marines for five years starting in August 2005 as a data network specialist, and attained the rank of sergeant.

His Iraq tour lasted from June 2008 to January 2009.

Obama called for national unity and asked Americans and political leaders to avoid inflammatory words and focus on “uniting the country rather than dividing it”.

“It is so important that everyone regardless of race or political party or profession, regardless of what organisations you are a part of, everyone right now focus on words and actions that can unite this country rather than divide it further,” Obama said in an address to the nation from White House after three police officers were killed by a a former African-American Marine veteran in Baton Rouge in Louisiana.

Condemning the shooting, he said, “Attacks on police are an attack on all of us and the rule of law that makes society possible.” “We as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies violence against law enforcement,” Obama said after describing the shooting of the police officers as “a cowardly and reprehensible assault” in an earlier statement.

Gavin Eugene Long lieved that two other assailants might be at large, but hours later said that no other active shooters were in the city.

“The dead suspect in the Baton Rouge shooting was wearing all black and a mask,” Baton Rouge Police Department Sgt Don Coppola said.

A witness told WBRZTV that a man, dressed in black with his face covered, was shooting indiscriminately when he walked out between a convenience store and car wash. Police received a call of “suspicious person walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle,” a source said, adding that when police arrived, the man opened fire.

President Barack Obama condemned the shooting as “cowardly” assault and called

for national unity, urging Americans and political leaders to avoid inflammatory words and focus on “uniting the country rather than dividing it”.

“It is so important that everyone regardless of race or political party or profession, regardless of what organisations you are a part of, everyone right now focus on words and actions that can unite this country rather than divide it further,” Obama said in an address to the nation from White House after the shooting.

France falls silent for Nice victims as politicians bicker NICE, JUL 18 (AFP): France fell silent today for the victims of the Nice truck attack, but the mourning was overshadowed by politicians tearing into each other over the massacre. A sea of people thronged the Nice promenade for the emotional minute’s silence just days after a Tunisian attacker drove a truck into a crowd at the same place on Bastille Day, killing 84 people and injuring around 300.

Similar gatherings were held across the country, with the minute’s silence accompanied by the ringing of church bells. Prime Minister Manual Valls was booed and faced shouts of “resign” as he arrived and left the seaside promenade in Nice, in a sign of the anger and bitterness gripping France after its third major terror attack in 18 months.

French investigators have yet to find links between at-

tacker Mohamed LahouaiejBouhlel, a 31-year-old Tunisian, and the Islamic State group which claimed responsibility for Thursday’s carnage, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told France’s RTL radio. He defended government efforts to halt terror attacks, calling for “dignity and truth” from fiercely critical opposition politicians as the national mood soured further nine months ahead of a presidential election.

France was wrapping up a three-day period of national mourning after LahouaiejBouhlel zigzagged a 19-tonne truck through a crowd of tourists, locals and families enjoying afireworks display in the Riviera city of Nice on Bastille Day.”We must not move on too quickly. We need to exorcise our demons, to talk about it, to gather together,” said Philippe Gambino, who has visited the

China announces South China Sea military exercises aircraft carrier and discuss ongoing Rim of the Pacific military drills. China rejected last Tuesday’s ruling by the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration in a case initiated by the Philippines, and refused to take part in the arbitration.

It has responded by asserting that islands in the South China Sea are “China’s inherent territory,” and says it could declare an air defence identification zone over the waters if it felt threatened. In a further show of defiance, Beijing followed the ruling by landing two civilian aircraft on new airstrips on disputed Mischief and Subi reefs and dispatched its coast guard to block a Philippine fishing boat from reaching a contested shoal.

Dennis Blair, a former commander of US forces in the Pacific, told a congressional hearing on Wednesday that the United States should be willing to use military force to oppose Chinese aggression at a disputed reef off the coast of the Philippines.

The verdict came as the prosecution accused all the eight of five charges relating to crimes like mass murders, abductions, tortures and lootings. Prosecution lawyers said six of the convicts were members of Al-badr auxiliary force of the Pakistani troops during the war and carried

The announcement came in the middle of a three-day visit to China by the US Navy’s top admiral to discuss the South China Sea dispute and ways to increase interactions between the two militaries.

The Kashmir American Council led the three-hour protests yesterday attended by women and children as well.

Holding banners and placards that read ‘Indian Forces Out of Kashmir’, ‘No Democracy Without SelfDetermination’ and ‘Time to Resolve Kashmir Dispute Now’, the protesters shouted slogans demanding “freedom” for Kashmir and its people. The demonstrators also shouted slogans in support of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, who was killed this month by Indian forces in Kashmir.

“The US and other western countries must intervene to stop the human rights violations in Kashmir,” Shaheen Khalid Butt, Chairman of the Kashmir Mission USA, said.

Ghulam Nabi Fai of World Kashmir Awareness said India and Pakistan must sit at the negotiating table “without any condition from any party” and keep “their horizon open” to find a solution to the Kashmir dispute.

Fai has served two years’ imprisonment in the US on the charges of working on behalf of Pakistan’s ISI.

Turkey dismisses top officials

Istanbul, Jul 18 (AFP): Turkey has dismissed almost 9,000 officials including a massive number of police officers after a failed coup targeting the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the state-run Anadolu news agency said citing the interior ministry.

A total of 8,777 public personnel including 7,899 police, one provincial governor and 29 governors of towns have been dismissed, the ministry said.

They also include 614 members of the police force that looks after domestic security, it added.

Former president and main opposition leader Nicolas Sarkozy said yesterday that “everything that should have been done the past 18 months was not done”. “We are at war, outright war. So I will use strong words: it will be us or them,” he said. While previous attacks saw grand displays of national unity, there was no semblance of cohesion after the Nice massacre, with Sarkozy joining a long line of opposition politicians who have accused the government of not doing enough to protect the French.

Manned by activists of fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami, which was opposed to Bangladesh’s 1971 independence from Pakistan, the Al-Badr appeared as an extremely notorious force by carrying out ruthless atrocities siding with Pakistani troops.

The verdict came amid a nationwide tension following the recent two back-toback Islamist terror attacks in the country following which Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina hinted that Jamaat could be behind the assaults.

Colombo, Jul 18 (PTI): Former Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa’s eldest son was today granted bail but was banned to travel abroad by a court here over allegedly accepting USD 500,000 from an Indian firm in connection with a multi-million dollar real-estate project in the heart of Colombo. Namal Rajapaksa, a member of parliament, was arrested last week and kept under remand custody till today, becoming the second son of the former president to be remanded over financial irregularity.

Among the bail conditions by the magistrate court here were a ban on his foreign travel and permission for the police’s Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) to peruse his bank accounts.

Ten generals have already been remanded in custody ahead of trial, the Dogan news agency said.

Those detained are accused of seeking to violate the Turkish constitution and attempting to overthrow the authorities by force.

They are also accused of belonging to what the authorities call the Fethullahci Terror Organisation (FETO) led by Fethullah Gulen, the exiled US-based preacher who Erdogan blames for the coup.

Gulen’s supporters say their group, which they call Hizmet (Service), is entirely peaceful.

H o u s to n / Bato n Rouge, Jul 18 (PTI): A black US Marine veteran killed three police officers in Baton Rouge before being shot dead, nearly two weeks after the fatal police shooting of a black man in the city that sparked country-wide protests and led to the massacre of five law enforcement officers.

The African-American gunman, identified by the media as 29-year-old Gavin Eugene Long, dressed in black and armed with a rifle, shot the police officers in an “ambushstyle” attack yesterday.

The motive of the shooting was not known but comes amid spiralling tensions across the city and the country between the black community and police amid the ambush on Dallas police officers where a sniper killed five officers.

Officials confirmed that three law enforcement officers died while three others were wounded during the shooting on Airline Highway in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, over a kilometre away from police headquarters.

The gunman, a decorated former Marine sergeant who served in Iraq, was shot dead minutes later in the gunfight with police.

The shooter appeared to have attacked police officers on his birthday, police said.

Blade Runner 2: First official artwork revealed

T

he first official artwork from Blade Runner 2 reveals a street scene that will look familiar to fans of Ridley Scott’s original film.

Ryan Gosling will star in the as-yet-untitled sequel, which is set several decades after the first story. Harrison Ford, who played police officer Rick Deckard in the original 1982 cult movie, will also appear.

The film will be directed

by Denis Villeneuve, whose films include Sicario and Prisoners. Blade Runner 2 is scheduled for release in October 2017.

“I’ve always been attracted to science-fiction films with strong visual signatures that

lead us into unique parallel worlds and the original Blade Runner is by far the best of all time,” Villeneuve said.

“Ridley Scott had the genius to blend science-fiction and film noir to create this unique exploration of human condition.

“The new Blade Runner is an extension of the first movie a few decades later.”

Principal photography is due to begin this month.

The cast also includes Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Carla Juri, Mackenzie Davis, Barkhad Abdi and Dave Bautista. The first look at the some of the film’s concept art was unveiled in Entertainment Weekly.

Salman Khan’s dad wanted him to be a cricketer!

S

uperstar Salman Khan says his father Salim Khan wanted to see him play cricket for the country.

Salman, who played a wrestler in his latest film “Sultan”, said former Indian cricketer Salim Durani was hired as his coach and he told his father that the actor had a bright future in the field.

“My dad wanted me to play cricket. That could have happened easily but I just didn’t see myself going for cricket practice at 5:30 in the morning. This life is as it is difficult for me, cricket would have been very difficult,” Salman said.

The actor was speaking at the launch of tennis star Sania Mirza’s autobiography “Ace Against Odds”.

The “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” star said he used to play cricket fairly well but the day his father K

came to see him, he intentionally gave a bad performance.

“Salim Durani was hired to be my coach. First day, he saw me play, I played very well. Second day, I did really well so he called my father the third day and said your son has got a very bright future.

That is the day I realised, my father came to see me play.. so I should play really badly,” the 50-year-old actor said.

Salman said it was tough for him to even reach school on time, so waking up early for cricket practice was next to impossible.

“Reaching school used to be a big problem itself. At 9 I used to attend my first lecture. So I used to wake up at about 8:30 AM and barely manage to reach school on time. Now before school, it was this... I actually wanted to be a director.”

Jacqueline Fernandez plays the female lead opposite Tiger in the film, while Nathan Jones plays the antagonist.

Directed by Remo D’Souza, ‘A Flying Jatt’ runs high on fight scenes and gravity-defying stunts. It is all set to hit the theatres on August 25, 2016.

A

actor has not yet addressed the hoax publicly.

The hoax dates back to 2013, thus citing Atkinson’s age as 58 rather than his actual age of 61. A photo circulating Facebook also cited the actor’s birth year as 1995, which would have made him 21.

Atkinson was the subject of a previous death hoax in 2012 too, with a Twitter rumour claiming that he had died in a car accident.

K GN’R detained for gun possession

G

uns N’ Roses (GN’R) were detained for gun possession while travelling to a show in Canada last week, it has been revealed.

The recently reunited band played a concert at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Saturday night (July 16), with frontman Axl Rose telling the crowd at the gig that the band were stopped at the Canadian border ahead of the show.

Before playing ‘Out Ta Get Me’, Rose said, “We weren’t exactly arrested, we were detained.” He went on to describe the customs officers as “very nice”.

“They were very understanding. You know, it happens - you can forget you had a fuckin’ gun,” he said, before adding that it “wasn’t my gun.”

A representative for the band later confirmed to

Billboard that the incident occurred on Friday (July 15) and claimed that the gun did not belong to any member of the band.

Meanwhile, Guns N’ Roses are early favourites to headline Glastonbury Festival 2016.

In his first interview since Guns N’ Roses’ reunion, Slash said that “everyone’s playing nice” since getting back together.

atrina Kaif had a grand birthday bash with industry buddies on Friday, but she made sure everyone who was part of her big day felt special — including the paparazzi.

The actress made it a point to see that media photographers, who were at the venue (Juhu) to click pictures of her and the guests, were given food packets and water bottles. She also happily posed for pictures.

Says a photographer, “It’s not about food, it’s about kindness. We stand outside stars’ houses for long hours, but no one bothers to even offer water.

Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin’s divorce finalised

C

oldplay frontman Chris Martin and Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow have had their divorce finalised.

The divorce, which was signed off by a Los Angeles judge on Thursday, states that neither Paltrow nor Martin will pay spousal support.

The pair married in December 2003 and have two children together.

In March 2014, the couple announced they were separating, with the process described as “conscious uncoupling” on Paltrow’s lifestyle website Goop.

The concept is based on

the idea of a joint spiritual journey, resulting in an amicable split which also takes the needs of any children into account. The website crashed due to the volume of traffic when the couple’s statement was published and the nowinfamous phrase drew scorn from some quarters.

Paltrow later distanced herself from the original post, although she did actually use a version of the “conscious uncoupling” phrase in the blog post announcing the split, written under her and Martin’s names. Paltrow filed for divorce in April last year, citing irreconcilable differences.

Croatia beat US in stunning comeback

Kyle Edward falls to the floor after securing Great Britain’s Davis Cup quarter-final win over Serbia.

But Edmund kept his nerve and rallied from 2-4 down in the tie-break to win five of the final six points and book Great Britain a semifinal berth against Argentina.

It made James Ward’s clash with Janko Tipsarevic a dead rubber, which the Serbian veteran won 6-2 3-6 7-5.

Overall, it was a largely confident display of powerful and attacking tennis by the young Brit whose booming forehand was often used to keep his opponent pinned to the baseline.

Lajovic played his part in the contest but, just as it appeared he was about to claim the third set, world No 67 Edmund hit back to secure one of the most important wins of his career.

On Friday, Edmund lost just seven games as he crushed

Janko Tipsarevic in the opening rubber of this quarterfinal.

And his victory over Lajovic two days later, spared James Ward from having to play a ‘live’ fifth rubber, following the Surrey player’s straight sets defeat in the opening round of singles.

World No 2 Andy Murray sat among the British squad and celebrated as Edmund beat Lajovic who was playing on his favourite surface.

Leon Smith’s squad will now face a home tie against Argentina, who took an unassailable 3-1 lead against Italy in Pesaro.

The contest was played in gloom and often light drizzle, as the Davis Cup holders posted a first win at World Group level - without Murray

Delhi Dynamos sign Manipur’s Milan, Soram N E W D EL H I , J u l 1 8 (Agencies): Delhi Dynamos FC have added two Manipur players, Milan Singh and Soram Porei, to their squad ahead of the third season of the Indian Super League. The move, as the franchise admitted on Monday, was taken to reach out to the strong North East presence into country’s capital.

“Soram Poirei is an exciting goalkeeper making his ISL debut while Milan Singh is a dynamic central midfielder who might well become the fulcrum of new coach Gianluca Zambrotta’s plans,” said Dynamos in a statement. “Milan has come on loan from DSK Shivajians although he has added to his reputation by turning out for North East United in ISL’s opening season. Porei has been the stubborn custodian for newly promoted Aizwal FC. It will be his first foray into the country’s

premier soccer league.” The pair are childhood friends and have played together at Shillong Lajong and Pailan Arrows. Porei, 23, represented Pune FC for two years before a one-year stint with Pailan Arrows, then transferred to Bengaluru FC. Most recently, he played for Aizawl FC colours during the I-League season. “It is my first year in the ISL and I am really looking forward to it. It is a very big opportunity for me to play for such a great club. It is a platform for me to learn and shine under the new coach Zambrotta. He is a legend and under his tutelage I believe I will learn a number of new things,” said Porei.

Milan, 24, began his senior career with Pailan in 2010.

After three years, he moved to Shillong for another threeyear deal, before being signed

by NEUFC and then by DSK Shivajians. “I have played only

one season in the league and have a very strong desire to prove myself in the ISL. I am very excited to have joined DDFC and feel that I belong to this city. I might be from Manipur but my heart beats for Delhi as a number of people from the North East live here and I believe they will come out in full support for me and my team,” he said. Added Italian World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta, who earlier this month was named head coach of Dynamos: “I am very pleased to have Soram and Milan on my team. These two players are really talented and i look forward to working with them. Their names were discussed over the last couple of days among all of us, including club president Prashant Agarwal and the backroom staff. We believe that they fit perfectly in our plan for the upcoming season.”

Oregon, Jul 18 (Agencies): Teeanger Borna Coric completed an unlikely comeback for Croatia as the small Balkan nation beat the United States 3-2 in a Davis Cup quarter-final in Oregon on Sunday.

After losing the first two singles rubbers on Friday, Croatia kept alive their hopes by winning Saturday’s doubles before swepping both reverse singles on the hardcourt in Portland.

Marin Cilic, the 2014 US Open champion, beat John Isner 7-6(11) 6-3 6-4 in a battle of big servers to set up a deciding rubber between 19-yearold Coric and Jack Sock.

The 54th-ranked Coric prevailed 6-4 3-6 6-3 6-4.

“Our team just shows how much spirit we have, how much we’re motivated,” Cilic said in an on-court interview as Coric celebrated with a small but vocal section of Croatian fans. “All weekend we played amazing tennis and Borna produced unbelievable tennis (in) the deciding rubber.” Croatia advanced to a home semi-final against France.

Juventus to compensate Nike with $2.2m Turin, Jul 18 (IANS): Juventus will have to pay two million euros ($2.2 million) to compensate their former kit provider Nike for including a third star on the club’s jersey during the 2012-13 season in reference to wining the Serie A 30 times, although the Italian football federation only recognises 28 of them following the 2006 Italian football scandal.

It seems that Juventus have contracted another sponsor to provide unofficial kits including the three stars, which led Nike to file a complaint against Italy’s football giant, reports Efe. After the 2006 scandal, better known as the Calciopoli, Juventus were stripped off the 2004-05 and 2005-06 league titles following match fixing investigations.

BUC H ARES T, J u l 1 8 (Agencies): Simona Halep produced a sensational display in front of her home fans to ‘double bagel’ Anastasia Sevastova 6-0 6-0 in the final of the Bucharest Open.

Halep needed more than two hours to beat Vania King in her semi-final on Saturday, but Sunday’s final proved little more than a stroll in the park.

Sevastova came into the match with a 3-1 head-tohead advantage but her game completely fell apart under a powerful assault from the world No 5.

The seventh-seed was broken early in her first service game and that pattern continued throughout the entire match, which was done and dusted in 47 minutes.

Halep was winning for the second time in Bucharest, having also tasted success in 2014, and for the second time this year, adding to her victory in Madrid. “I don’t think I’ve ever won 6-0, 6-0 in a WTA event,” said Halep.

“I knew she was a tough adversary and I never dreamt of winning this way. ”

Chennai, Jul 18 (Agencies): Ronaldinho says Lionel Messi is still the best player in the world despite failing to win a major trophy for Argentina. The 29-year-old is his country’s top scorer with 55 goals but retired from international duty last month after Argentina lost to Chile in the Copa America final for the second year running.

Messi, who has won the Ballon d’Or five times, has played in three Copa America finals and the 2014 World Cup final, but lost them all.

Cristiano Ronaldo recently won Euro 2016 with Portugal to reignite the debate about which of the two is the world’s best player but Ronaldinho, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, believes his old team-mate is still the greatest. “For me, Messi leaving international football does not change anything,” Ronaldinho said.

“He is still the best football player in the world. The respect I have for him doesn’t change at all. And if he really has decided to leave interna-

tional football then the sport will miss his presence, and so will the fans.”

Ronaldinho, who won the Ballon d’Or crown himself in 2005 during a five-year spell at Barcelona, said he had nurtured Messi when the pair played together at the Nou Camp.

Sania Mirza Sania, however, said that she was not preparing differently for the Olympics.

“As tennis players, we can’t really prepare (ourselves) for one thing that comes you know. I am playing in Canada a week before the Olympics.

This will be my third Olympics, we prepare for it the same way we prepare for every big tournament that we play, be it Wimbledon or US Open. So, we are looking forward to it,” said the 29-year-old.

Asked if she has any concern about Zika virus in the backdrop of some tennis players pulling out of the Olympics, Sania said “I am going to Rio for the Olympics.

I am sure we will try and take whatever precautions we can.

But there is no so to say an injection or something you can take. I have already taken the

yellow fever injection which was supposed to take. We will see whatever we can do but I am going (for the Olympics).”

Recently Prarthana had said that she was not scared of facing big names in Rio with the world number 1 Sania at her side.

Asked about Prarthana’s comments, Sania said, “That’s really good. I think younger girls, younger kids today so to say are so much more confident. It’s amazing if that’s how she feels and that she is going to play at the big stage and she is not frightened at all, that’s going to be amazing.

“But I am sure there will be some nerves, I hope there will be, because nerves are always good to have. She has been around me for a long time and hopefully that experience should help her.”

Asked what is lacking in Indian Futsal players, Figo said, “Most important is the passion & the will to work hard & chase your dream.

Mumbai, Jul 18 (PTI): Ace tennis player Sania Mirza is geared up to represent the country in next month’s Olympics but she refused to predict winning a medal in the Rio Games.

Sania will pair up with young Prarthana Thombare in women’s doubles and with Rohan Bopanna in mixed doubles in the Games, and she says she will prepare for the Olympics the same way she does for every big tournament.

“You try and play every tournament, play every match at merit, give your best and hopefully come back with a medal. If you don’t (win a medal) then you try again.

You cannot sit and predict what is going to happen,” she told PTI in an interaction when asked about chances of clinching a medal in Rio. S a n i a ’s a u t o b i o g r a phy ‘Ace against odds’ was launched by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in Mumbai on Sunday.

Asked about her chemistry with Bopanna, Sania said, “It’s been very good. Me and Rohan have known each other for a very long time, we have played a lot together. So we are looking forward to playing together in Olympics.”

The women’s doubles world number one player said to achieve success in the Olympics, the biggest inspiration was to play for the country.

“You have to be your own inspiration, you have to be there because you want to be there (in the Olympics).

The biggest inspiration is for playing for your country and there cannot be bigger inspiration than that,” she said.

He’s improved so much physically. His forehand is so huge, such a great shot. His serve is better, his backhand is rock solid.”

The match against Argentina, who GB have not beaten since 1928, is most likely to be staged in Glasgow.

GB reach Davis Cup semi-finals

Belgrade, Jul 18 (Agencies): Kyle Edmund proved there is more to British tennis than Andy Murray, as he helped the visitors reach the semi-finals of the Davis Cup in an eventual 3-2 win over Serbia on Belgrade clay.

The 21-year-old from Yorkshire claimed his second straight-sets victory of the tie, beating Dusan Lajovic 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-5) in two hours and 34 minutes.

However, Edmund had to survive a third set wobble when he served for the match at 5-4, only to be broken for the first time.

Lajovic, the world No 81, took full advantage by holding his own serve and then almost broke Edmund for a second time when he twice held set points in the long 12th game.

BCCI shake-up on cards as SC Naga wrestlers departs for 5th NTWFI Championship approves Lodha recommendations New Delhi, Jul 18 (PTI): Cornered by the Supreme Court’s acceptance of the Lodha Committee recommendations on sweeping reforms, the BCCI is set for a revamp as some of its senior functionaries are staring at the prospect of losing their positions in either the parent or state bodies.

The Supreme Court accepted the recommendations, including a bar on ministers and civil servants and those above 70 from becoming BCCI members but left it to Parliament to decide whether the Board should come under RTI and betting on the game be legalised. The Board has been given six months’ time to implement the recommendations.

The apex court also accepted the recommendations of the Committee headed by retired Chief Justice of India Justice R M Lodha to have a CAG nominee in BCCI.

A bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice F M I Kalifulla rejected BCCI’s objection against recommendations for one-state-one-vote and said that states like Maharashtra and Gujarat having more than one cricket associations will have voting rights on rotational basis.

“We respect SC’s decision. We will look into how we can implement the Lodha panel recommendations,” senior BCCI functionary and IPL Chairman Rajeev Shukla said. “We respect the Supreme Court’s decision.

We are studying it,” added the Board’s recentlyappointed CEO Rahul Johri, whose appointment was itself a result of Lodha committee recommendations.

The court also accepted the panel’s suggestion that there should be a player’s association in the BCCI. The apex court also ruled that one

person should hold just one post in cricket administration to avoid any conflict of interest and scrapping of all other administrative committees in the BCCI after CAG nominee comes in.

The verdict means that BCCI President Anurag Thakur (Himachal Pradesh), Secretary Ajay Shirke (Maharashtra), Treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhary (Haryana) and Joint Secretary Amitabh Chaudhary (Jharkhand) will have to forego their positions in their respective state associations to avoid “Conflict of Interest”.

The ruling on age cap of 70 years on BCCI officebearers, on the other hand, effectively means the end of the road for veteran administrators like Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan, and Niranjan Shah to name a few.

While former BCCI president Pawar is 75 years old,

Tamil Nadu strongman Srinivasan is currently 71 years old.

Both are presidents of their respective state associations -- Mumbai CA and TNCA respectively.

Saurashtra Cricket Association supremo Shah, who has served BCCI for over three decades in various capacities such as secretary, joint secretary, treasurer and vice President, is 72 years old. Shah admitted that he is “disappointed” but has to “respect” the Apex Court’s order.

Shah, however, feels that it will at least take another 18 months to fully implement the SC verdict.

“The BCCI will have to first implement it at their end and then the state associations will have to also implement the same. In my understanding it will take another 18 months to put everything in order as per Lodha Committee recommendations,” Shah observed.

Kohima, Jul 18 (NPN): Thirteen wrestlers from Nagaland Wrestling Association (NWA) has left for Pune Monday to take part in the 5th National Traditional Wrestling Federation of India (NTWFI) championship.
