IS kills 80 Kabul protestors

A scene of the blast site, with people scattered, moments after the explosion on Saturday.

horrific attack on a group of peaceful protestors in Kabul demonstrates the utter disregard that armed groups have for human life. Such attacks are a reminder that the conflict in Afghanistan is not winding down, as some believe, but escalating...” Amnesty International said in a statement.

In a statement, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said he was “deeply saddened” by the carnage, adding that the casualties included security officials.

“Holding protests is the right of every citizen of Afghanistan... but terrorists entered the protests, and carried out explosions that martyred and wounded a number of citizens including members of security forces,” the presidential palace said.

The protest march was largely peaceful before the explosions struck as the demonstrators sought to march on the presidential palace, waving flags and chanting slogans such as “death to discrimination”.

The 500-kilovolt TUTAP power line, which would connect the Central Asian nations of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan with electricityhungry Afghanistan and Pakistan, was originally set to pass through the central province.

But the government rerouted it through the mountainous Salang pass north of Kabul, saying the shorter route would speed up the project and save millions of dollars.

Lack of funds hit Doordarshan Kendras in NE G U WA H AT I , J U L 2 3 (AGENCIES): Production of programmes across 12 Doordarshan Kendras in the North East has been hit due to lack of funds from Prasar Bharati.

Four months into the new financial year, Prasar Bharati is yet to allocate funds under the professional and special services head to the 12 Kendras in the region, official sources said. “This (lack of funds) is a perennial problem,” a source said and added that kendras in other parts of the country received funds on time.

“Doordarshan Kendras of NE have been suffering as they are not in a position to produce (record) programmes due to paucity of funds. An extraordinary situation prevails here. The employees are totally demoralized. They have been rendered almost jobless due to lack of programmes to produce,” the source said.

“News bulletins are aired for half an hour but recorded programmes have maximum air-time. The programme production centre (NE) of Doordarshan runs a 24-hour satellite channel with contribution from other Kendras. Due to lack of funds, all the Kendras have stopped producing (recording) programmes and the same programmes are repeated again and again,” the source added.

The funds crunch has also hit production of programmes to showcase different government schemes and initiatives.

KABUL, JUL 23 (AGENCIES): Islamic State group jihadists claimed responsibility for twin explosions today that ripped through crowds of Shiite Hazaras in Kabul, killing at least 80 people and wounding 231 others in their first major attack in the Afghan capital.

The bombings, apparently aimed at sowing sectarian discord in a country well known for Shia-Sunni harmony, came as thousands of Hazaras gathered to protest over a multi-million-dollar power line.

Charred bodies and dismembered limbs littered the scene of the attack, with ambulances struggling to reach the site as authorities had overnight blocked key intersections with stacked shipping containers to control move-

ment of the protesters. “As a result of the attack 80 people were martyred and 231 others were wounded,” the interior ministry said in a statement.

“Based on initial information, the attack was carried out by three suicide bombers...

The third attacker was gunned down by security forces.”

T h e wo u n d e d ove r whelmed city hospitals, officials said, with reports emerging of blood shortages and urgent appeals for donors circulating on social media.

The Taliban, who are in the middle of their annual summer offensive and are more powerful than IS, strongly denied any involvement in the attack.

MOKOKCHUNG, JUL 23 (NPN): The sudden termination of two teachers by authorities of a renowned school in Mokokchung, resulted in a stand-off between school authorities and students along with their parents.

In this regard, the parents had reportedly called for a joint meeting with the school authority on Saturday at the Salangtem Community Hall, to address the grievances. However, it was reported that the school authorities failed to turn up.

They also alleged that the school

had cautioned them for expressing resentment over the issue. For this, the students said they staged a protest near the school premises, demanding that the two teachers be re-instated at the earliest. They also said that if their demands were not met, with clear clarification, the protest would continue.

However, they were terminated on the July 19 (Math teacher) and July 20 (English teacher), the parents stated.

Under the Income Declaration Scheme (IDS) which opened on June 1, black money holders can come clean by declaring the assets by September 30 and paying tax and penalty of 45 per cent thereafter. Those who fail to take advantage of the scheme will have to face stringent actions, including imprisonment.

Talking to Nagaland Post, Nzanmongi informed that her research paper, “investigates the possibilities of offering tourists insight into the impact of human beings on environment and in fostering a greater appreciation of our natural habitats. It also explores the different responsible eco-tourism programmes and ways to minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and seeks to develop a sustainable model that will promote energy-efficient economic opportunities and enhance bio-cultural diversity.”

Nzanmongi further opined that “some of the furthest corners of Nagaland, especially along the borders, are unfazed by the modern developmental activities, and thus, could provide a perfect destination for tourists looking to experience the rich cultural heritage of the Nagas while exploring nature in its peaceful habitat based on mutual co-existence.”

SRF banned from Phom area DIMAPUR: Invoking the “Shopilak Declaration 2016” during the 15th ENSF Federal Assembly on June 28 and the resolution adopted in the joint consultative meeting with Sovereign Republic of Freeland (SRF) and ENPO on July 7, Phom Students’ Conference (PSC) has “strictly prohibited” SRF to set up its base/camp, hoisting of SRF flag nor allow any citizen of Phom to be a member of SRF within Phom jurisdiction.

In a press note, PSC president, Hongkam D. Ngoyen and general secretary, Lungchem, while banning SRF from its jurisdiction, warned individuals, be it Phom or any other tribe, trying to convinve people of Phom to join SRF would be dealt seriously without any hesitation and questioning.

Further, PSC directed all the village councils and its federating units to take initiative to make Sovereign Republic of Freeland members denounce membership of SRF along with their ID cards in order to uphold the people’s mandate.

This was decided at a meeting between a World Bank delegation with Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal at his office chamber at the Assam Legislative Assembly here today.

BHUBANESWAR, JUL 23 (PTI): The anti-corruption vigilance sleuths on Saturday arrested an IPS officer of Tripura-Manipur cadre from Ghaziabad for his alleged involvement in a scam in Odisha.

Joydeep Nayak was produced before the court of chief judicial magistrate in Ghaziabad of Uttar Pradesh which has granted the transit remand, an official release said.

He was being brought to Odisha, Vigilance superintendent of police Swarup Kumar Parida said.

Nayak was on the run for one month after a case was registered against his name by Odisha vigilance. He was arrested by a special team of the vigilance wing.

Nayak, a 1991-batch IPS officer, was allegedly involved in misappropriation Rs 88 lakh meant for computer education of SC/ST students and self help groups (SHGs) in Odisha when he was on deputation in the Human Rights Protection Cell (HRPC) of Odisha police.

Nayak has been accused

of awarding the contract to a computer company in Cuttack without floating any tender.

The scam came to light this year after Nayak’s successor took charge of HRPC. Later, the ST and SC development department also conducted a special audit during which the misappropriation was detected and the department lodged a formal complaint with the vigilance this month.

Based on the complaint, the state vigilance has already arrested the additional SP Basanta Kumar Pradhan, who was then DSP of the cell, Pracheta Kumar Mishra, the then steno, Ashutosh Mishra, proprietor of the computer company, Chandi Charan Patnaik, its general manager and Mamata Rout, who is the proprietor of a printing press.

Tripura government had suspended Nayak on July 6 for breaching service rules. Nayak, who was posted as director in Tripura fire service department, was transferred as OSD to State Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development.

Patients denied treatment due to doctors’ strike at Imphal hospital IMPHAL, JUL 23 (IANS): Hundreds of patients from different parts of Manipur as well as those from neighbouring north eastern states were denied treatment at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) here after doctors went on a two-day closure of the Out Patients Department on Friday.

The Teachers and Medical Officers’ Association (TAMOA) of RIMS took the step as the authorities refused to revoke the suspension order of gynaecologist L. Trinity. The organisation has threatened to resort to further agitation if the order is not revoked.

A young woman, T. Kheroda, died due to intense bleeding on July 6 shortly after giving birth to a baby in RIMS. Family members and activists said she died as a result of dereliction of duty by the attending doctors.

The RIMS authorities held two inconclusive inquiries.

Trinity, who was on duty when Kheroda was admitted, was suspended to “facilitate inquiry”.

The Chief Minister also pointed out that besides building the economic foundation of the State on the vast resources of the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers, the State government has also accorded priority towards strengthening the Inland Water Transport system.

The Government of Assam has submitted a comprehensive Assam Flood Erosion and River Management Modernisation Project to the tune of Rs 1,500 crore to the Central government.

The Centre has made an in-depth evaluation of the project and handed it over to the World Bank for necessary sanction.

On the proposed constriction of the two-lane road from Nongstoi to Mawthabah, Sangma said he would write to the union ministry of road transport and highway to clarify if the objective of the proposed road was to facilitate mining of uranium.

He said the people should not interpret the construction of the proposed two-lane road projects as facilitating uranium mining in the state since the government would not take a decision on the matter unless a consensus was reached with all the stakeholders and people of the state were fully convinced about it.

On the other hand, antiuranium mining groups vowed that they will not allow any predevelopmental projects, including the proposed two-lane road in uranium-rich deposits areas.

North East Student’s Organisation Samuel B Jyrwa told journalists that the two-lane road between Nongstoin and Mawthabah was to facilitate mining of uranium.

JE claims one life; 12 hospitalized in Manipur Correspondent IMPHAL, JUL 23: A fear psychosis is brewing among the people in Manipur following the death of a fouryear girl in dreaded Japanese Encephalitis (JE) in Imphal East’s Changamdabi village in the last week.

According to the report, as many as 12 patients afflicted in Japanese Encephalitis are undergoing treatment in various hospitals.

The monir girl was shifted to hospital in a critical condition. The preliminary report tested positive for the disease. However, she died in the disease, a senior health official informed.

Meanwhile, two other suspected cases were found negative, he added.

The other patients are undergoing treatment at

RIMS, JNIMS, Shija and Dr Ratan’s Mothers Care Children Hospital and Research Centre hospitals. One more patient has been shifted to a hospital in Guwahati. Among the 12 patients, three were from Imphal West, two each from Thoubal, Imphal East and Churachandpur, and one each from Senapati (Sadar Hills), Chandel and Ukhrul.

State health director, O Ibomcha said that they have been closely monitoring the situation as “JE, though curable, does not have a medicine and in final stages even if a patient is cured, he or she could be crippled for life as the virus affects the brain.”

Manipur had reported a JE epidemic spread in 1995 in which about 200 people were affected and again in 2010 in which about 100 persons tested positive.

Auction of twelve Assam oilfields as per policy framed in ’92: Govt G U WA H AT I , J U L 2 3 (AGENCIES): The decision to hand over 12 small oilfields of the State to private companies through international open bidding is in consonance with the New Exploration and Licensing Policy (NELP) started by the then Congress government at the Centre in 1992. And during the period from 1998 to 2012, a total of 21 oilfields of Assam have been auctioned.

Stating this at the Assembly today in reply to a call attention motion by legislators Ajanta Neog (Congress) and Ramendra Narayan Kalita (AGP), Commerce and Industries Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said that in no way would the handing over of micro oilfields to private companies harm Assam’s interests; rather the State would gain a

lot from the development in terms of enhanced oil production, additional revenue generation and creation of direct and indirect employment.

“This is not the first time that the State is witnessing international bidding for oilfield exploration as is being projected in a section of the media. Since the NELP came into force, 21 oilfields of Assam have gone through such international bidding and the latest auctioning of 12 oilfields is part of the bidding for 67 such oilfields across the country,” he said.

Dismissing apprehensions that the bidding would result in handing over of land rights to foreign private companies, Patowary said that they would only get permission to explore and extract oil for a period of three years and

that unlike the earlier practice of reimbursement for exploration costs in the event of the drilling not yielding any oil, the companies would get nothing from the government.

“Exploring micro oilfields is a costly and risky exercise, as the exploration may not yield any oil at all.

Moreover, according to experts, the 12 oilfields will necessitate drilling up to a depth of 6,000 metres. The resources of our PSUs are too meagre to take part in such exploration, and in any case, they are free to compete jointly with OIL and ONGC in the bidding

process,” he added.

Patowary said that the recent auctioning of coalfields in the country enriched the government’s coffers by a whopping Rs 4 lakh crore, and that the oilfield auctioning would also benefit the country immensely. Stating that Assam’s internal crude oil production was insufficient to run its four refineries even at their optimum level, Patowary said that unless production was boosted, they would always fall short of contributing to the State’s economy at the desired level.

Earlier, raising the issue, Ajanta Neog said that the decision to auction the oilfields was not taken in the best interests of the State and apparently the decision was imposed on the State by the Centre. She said that there is reason to believe that vested interest circles, which do not want the oil PSUs to prosper, are behind the move. “The people of Assam are opposed to the auctioning of their oilfields to foreign private companies and want the move to be rescinded.

However, people who are still marooned alleged that sufficient relief materials from the government and district administration have not reached them.

SHILLONG, JUL 23: Meghalaya has asked the Uranium Corp of India Ltd (UCIL) to keep in abeyance the Expression of Interest (EOI) for a mine and processing plant of uranium ore in South West Khasi Hills district, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma said on Friday.

Sangma, who held a meeting with anti-uranium mining groups and pro-developmental group, however urged the people to allow the construction of a two-lane 68-km road from Nongstoi, the district headquarters of West Khasi Hills, to Mawthabah village, which has rich uranium deposits.

“I shared at the meeting that UCIL floated the EOI without the knowledge of the state government which is not a correct approach. Therefore, we have asked the UCIL to keep in abeyance the EOI,” the Chief Minister told journalists.

Moreover, Sangma said he would also write to the central government to ensure that the UCIL does not resort to any activities in the future without the knowledge of the state government. “We will not allow UCIL to take up any preliminary activities or pre-mining developmental activities in the uranium deposit areas in South West Khasi Hills district unless it can convince the people of the state on the safety aspects or how it can insulate the people from the ramifications of uranium mining,” he said.

Worries mount as no trace of missing IAF plane

CHENNAI, JUL 23 (PTI/ IANS): Apprehensions grew over the fate of the missing IAF transport aircraft with 29 people on board as search teams were yet to find any trace of the AN 32 plane while efforts were intensified today over the Bay of Bengal where inclement weather appeared to be a hurdle.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who arrived here this morning to take stock of the situation, undertook a two-hour aerial survey with as many as 18 navy and coast guard ships including a submarine, and eight aircraft like P 81, C 130 and Dorniers pressed into search operations.

The Russian-made workhorse of the IAF went missing yesterday soon after taking off from Tambaram air base for Port Blair, a distance of 1,400 km. It made the last radio contact at 0846 hours, 16 minutes after take off. Worries mounted for the authorities as time was running out and no positive signals emerged from the operations which were launched soon after the news of the missing aircraft trickled in yesterday morning.

Personally monitoring the operation, Parrikar reviewed the utilisation of assets and resources to find the plane even as he instructed that more resources could be diverted for the purpose if necessary,

defence sources said.

He was apprised of the difficult conditions under which operations were being carried out during the last 24 hours.

The sea is very rough and there is thick cloud cover in the area, sources said, adding he has directed all Commanders to be in touch with families and provide them information that may be required, they said.

Parrikar was briefed by the Air Force and the Navy in Tambaram, near here. He then boarded a P-81 aircraft from Arakkonam Naval base to monitor search and rescue operations being conducted in the Bay of Bengal. The minister was briefed by Air Force and Naval personnel on board the P-81 as well.

He later left for Arakkonam from where he was flown to the area where the SAR was being undertaken jointly by the IAF, Navy and Coast Guard.

The Defence Minister was accompanied by senior IAF officials including Chief of Air Staff Arup Raha, before being briefed at the Naval Air station at Arakkonam, located around 50 km from Chennai.

“Hon’ble RM (Raksha Mantri) @manoharparrikar being explained about the ops (operations) whilst in search area on P81,” a Defence Ministry spokesperson said on

twitter.

The 29 people on board the Air Force’s workhorse for a long period included six crew members, two of them pilots and one navigator.

Besides, there were 11 personnel from the IAF including a lady officer, two from the Army, one from the Coast Guard and 9 from the navy which included some from its armament depot.

The Maritime Rescue and Coordination Centre at Chennai has been coordinating round the clock surveillance towards search effort along with Southern Air Command of IAF, Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard.

The Defence Ministry in a statement said Parrikar was briefed about the challenges of undertaking SAR under monsoon conditions with heavy rain, cloud cover, rough sea condition and most importantly depths of over 3,500 metres in the area.

He was also briefed about future plans involving additional ships and a submarine that were heading for the area to join in the operation. “The sea is very choppy with thick monsoon clouds in the area making the search effort quite challenging. Raksha Mantri has directed that the operations be continued unhindered till further orders,” the statement said. As of now a massive

search operation is in progress braving prevalent monsoon weather conditions and poor visibility wherein IAF, Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard have pooled in resources to look for any possible sign of the aircraft in the vast swath of Bay of Bengal between Chennai and Port Blair.

ISRO to use radar imaging to locate IAF plane

The Indian space agency will be using its Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT) that can see through the clouds to locate the missing Indian Air Force (IAF) plane that went missing on Friday morning with 29 people on board, said its chief on Saturday.

“We will be using RISAT to locate the missing aircraft.

The satellite can take pictures both during the day and night.

It can see through the clouds,” Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman A.S. Kiran Kumar told IANS. He said ISRO’s satellites could be tilted to some extent to look at a different place in times of need. The RISAT’s active microwave remote sensing provides cloud penetration and day-night imaging capability.

These unique characteristics of C-band (5.35GHz) Synthetic Aperture Radar enable applications in agriculture, particularly paddy monitoring in kharif season and management of

MP: Minor boy who fell into 150-ft deep borewell dies GWALIOR (MP), JUL 23 (PTI): A three-year-old boy who had fallen into a 150-feet deep borewell in a village near here died on Saturday allegedly due to suffocation, police said.

“The boy is no more. He died due to suffocation,” said Gwalior SP Hari Narayanchari Mishra.

Earlier in the day, the boy identified as Abhay Pachouri was taken out from the borewell in Sultanpur Kheria village under Dabra tehsiland and rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him dead.

“Preliminary examination revealed that there was no proof of any snakebite or any other animal attack on his body. Doctors said that he died due to suffocation after falling into the borewell,” Gwalior Collector Dr Sanjay Goyal said.

The Collector informed that the boy was taken out after nearly 22 hours of rescue oepration. Detailed post-mortem will reveal the exact cause behind the death.

An assistance of Rs one lakh will be provided from the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and the damages caused to the agriculture field too will be restored, the Collector said.

member Brinda Karat, who also visited Mota Samadhiyala village where seven people belonging to a Dalit community were brutally flogged by selfstyled cow vigilantes, took exception to Modi’s “deafening silence” over the incident.

Janata Dal (United) stalwart Sharad Yadav, CPI leader D Raja and Babasaheb Ambedkar’s grand son Prakash Ambedkar also visited the victims, expressing strong concern and anguish over the incident.

Speaking to reporters, Yadav lashed out at the state government for not taking

prompt action against the culprits and questioned the saffron party’s claim of safeguarding the dalits’ interests.

He said that victims were beaten up with public looking on and police did not act despite a police station being located nearby.

“We have come here to give encouragement, strength to the victims and their family members...The state government did not take prompt action which indicates how the government is concerned about the safety of Dalits,” Yadav said. “Had the government been competent (in protecting

Dalits), no atrocity would have taken place. People were standing around when they were beaten, and the incident took place near a police station,” he said, while demanding immediate release of dalits jailed on “fake charges.”

Raja, who accompanied Yadav, said that the incident is a “projection and promotion of Hindutva fascist politics,” while terming the BJP-led government as “anti-Dalit.”

“It is the projection and promotion of Hindutva fascist politics. And this BJP-led government at Centre is anti-Dalit.

This is the politics one should understand. Why else should Dalits be subject of such ordeal, such an attack?” he asked.

Ambedkar, who travelled separately, said that RSS-VHP are using “private army” like cow protection groups to attack Dalits and Muslims and demanded ban such groups functioning under VHP and RSS. “Gorakshak sansthan is a private army of the RSS. Togadia’s army is also a nongovernment army. We need to ask as to why such a private army should exist? Ban the army, and if they do not agree, put them in jail,” he said.

Karat said “While Dalits are immolating themselves in their own home state out of anguish and protest and there is a national outrage, the prime minister’s deafening silence shows his support to the criminal activities of the so-called gauraksha samitis,” she said.

natural disasters like flood and cyclone, ISRO had said earlier about RISAT. According to Kiran Kumar, ISRO is in the process of looking into the data of satellites that can throw some light on the missing plane. He said the search and rescue beacon signal from the IAF plane was not picked by the ISRO satellites as the signals were not there.

“Aircrafts with search and rescue beacons should also have a transmitter to transmit the signals for the satellites to pick up,” he said. The IAF AN-32 aircraft went missing on Friday over the Bay of Bengal off the Chennai coast. The search and rescue operation by Indian Navy and Coast Guard, which went on through the night, continued on Saturdaay and more assets were deployed.

Two P8I surveillance aircrafts and two Dornier are continuing the search while one Dornier is on standby at Port Blair. Another AN 32 and two C-130 Hercules aircrafts and Mi-17 V5 with floats are also on standby. At present, 13 ships of the Indian Navy and four ships of Coast Guard are involved in the search operation.

A submarine was also sent for locating transmissions from the emergency locator beacon on board the missing aircraft. Emergency locator beacons usually get activated in case a plane crashes.

FIR lodged in the beating of Dalits in Muzaffarpur MUZAFFARPUR, JUL 23 (PTI): A group of people allegedly beat up two Dalit youths severely and urinated in the mouth of one of them on the charge of stealing a motorcycle in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district, a senior police official said on Saturday.

The incident occurred on Thursday night in Baburam village and an FIR was registered in Paroo police station of the district yesterday by the mother of one of the victims.

Rajiv Kumar Paswan’s mother lodged the FIR against 11 persons, including the husband of the local panchayat head, alleging her son was beaten up and the other person was urinated in the mouth on the charge of stealing a motorcycle.

Police confirmed that the youths were thrashed but denied the allegation that they were urinated upon.

Senior Superintendent of Police Vivek Kumar said as per the supervision report submitted by Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Madan Kumar Anand, the allegation of beating up of the youths was true but the charge of urinating in the mouth was not corroborated during the inquiry. SDPO along with an inspector visited the spot on Friday to probe the matter following registration of the FIR.

Nitish using liquor ban as political tool: Das PAT NA , J U L 2 3 ( P T I ) : Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today launched a scathing attack on his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar accusing him of using the ban on alcohol as a “political tool” against rivals.

“Prohibition order in Bihar is nothing but a ‘nautanki’ (drama) which Nitish Kumar is using as a political tool,” the BJP Chief Minister of the neighbouring state said at a programme here.

He claimed large quantity of liquor is being illegally traded into Bihar from West Bengal after prohibition but “still Nitish Kumar is not asking Mamata Banerjee to ban alcohol in her state”.

Das said Kumar has been touring BJP-ruled states and demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi impose a ban on alcohol there “but, why does he not take a tour of West Bengal and Nepal from where alcohol is being smuggled in large quantity after the ban?”

Later, Das attended a felicitation programme organised

by Teli (oilmen) community in his honour at Patna. Senior Bihar BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, leader of opposition Prem Kumar and state party chief Mangal Pandey accompanied him to the programme at the S K Memorial hall.

Abducted Indian woman in Kabul rescued; returns to India

Judith D’Souza NEW DELHI, JUL 23 (PTI): Judith D’Souza, an Indian aid worker who was kidnapped in Kabul last month by suspected militants, has been rescued, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Saturday.

The 40-year-old woman, who works for Aga Khan Foundation as a senior technical adviser, was kidnapped outside her office in the heart of Kabul on June 9.

“I am happy to inform you that Judith D’Souza has been rescued,” Swaraj tweeted.

She also thanked Afghan authorities for securing her release. “Thank you Afghanistan - for all your help and support in rescuing #Judith.”

The External Affairs Ministry was in constant touch with Afghan authorities to ensure the safe release of Judith, who hails from Kolkata.

“Judith D’Souza is with us - safe and in good spirits. She will reach her Motherland at the earliest. Vande Mataram,” Swaraj said, adding she has spoken to Judith.

It was not immediately known who were Judith’s captors and how she was rescued.

She was abducted along with two other persons.

The External Affairs Minister also lauded the efforts made by India’s Ambassador to Afghanistan Manpreet Vohra in ensuring Judith’s release.

In Kolkata, her family thanked the government for its efforts to secure her release.

“We are thankful to the Indian government for the rescue of our sister. We are now waiting for her to be back home.

We would request the media to respect our privacy,” Judith’s sister Agnes told PTI.

Kashmir will never be a part of Pak: Sushma NEW DELHI, JUL 23 (AGENCIES): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Saturday slammed Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over his comments on Kashmir, after she said the whole of India would like to tell PM of Pak that this dream won’t be realized even at the end of eternity. In a strong-worded riposte to Pakistan PM’s critical comments on Kashmir, Swaraj said, “Pakistan fuelling violence in Kashmir. It has given pain

of terrorism there. Pakistan’s designs will never succeed.”

“Behind Pakistan’s encouragement to terrorism lies its delusional though dangerous dream ‘Kashmir will one day become Pak’ as Pak PM said yesterday. Pakistan is perpetrating terror activities through Hafiz Saeed and other terrorists in an area which is integral part of India,” added Swaraj.

S wa r a j ’s c o m m e n t s came a day after Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif told a public

gathering in Muzaffarabad that “We are waiting for the day Kashmir becomes (part of) Pakistan”.

Swaraj lashed out Pakistan PM for calling slain Hijbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani a ‘martyr’.

“Doesn’t he know that Burhan Wani was a Hizbul Mujahideen Commander? Country which used fighter planes & artillery against its own people has no right whatsoever to point a finger against our security forces,” said Swaraj.

Delhi Police rule out involvement of 2 MPs in trafficking of women NEW DELHI, JUL 22 (PTI): Delhi Police Saturday gave clean chit to two Parliamentarians whose name surfaced during probe into an alleged case of trafficking of women from Central Asian countries while investigation is underway into the role of two cricketers. “Police are investigating all angles of the case. The probe so far has not revealed any role or complicity of any Parliamentarian in it,” DCP (South) Ishwar Singh said. 62-year-old Pritindra Nath Sanyal was arrested on Wednesday on charges of trafficking after documents indicating his involvement in the illegal activity were found during raids at his residences by Income Tax authorities.

RAJKOT, JUL 23 (PTI): Attacking the BJP government over the dalit thrashing incident, leaders of different non-BJP parties on Saturday accused it of being “anti-Dalit” and promoting “Hindutva fascist forces” even as they questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “deafening silence” over it.

A host of leaders met the victims at the Rajkot civil hospital and Mota Samadhiyala village, and lashed out at the BJP dispensation for not taking prompt action against those behind the beating.

was found that Sanyal had sent messages to government officials and other senior functionaries, posing as Member of Parliament and top bureaucrat for getting favours in certain business deals. Sanyal had used the names and “fake” letterheads of the two MPs but no complicity has been found on their part, Singh said. Meanwhile, police have also recovered photographs and other material showing Sanyal’s alleged accomplice Col Ajay Ahlawat (retd) with two Indian cricketers.

“Investigation is going on,” Singh said when asked about the role of the two cricketers in a late night briefing at Delhi Police headquarters here.

Ahlawat has not been detained

yet but he is being questioned by the police, the DCP said.

The matter came to the fore after Sanyal’s residences in Safdarjung Enclave and Vasant Kunj here and also in Lucknow were raided by Income Tax authorities in June. Documentary evidence in the form of WhatsApp messages and SMSes were seized from his residence at Safadarjung Enclave, he said.

The IT officials had rescued a Russian national, aged about 23 years, from his residence in Safdarjung Enclave. The SMSes and WhatsApp data of the woman’s mobile phone indicated that she was being kept against her will... Her travel documents including passport were allegedly taken away by the accused.

A one-way street

uring the 60s till mid-80s, it used to be unthinkable for government servants in Nagaland, to defy orders for transfer and posting to any place beyond the comfort zones. Today, it is just the opposite- government servants know that transfer and posting orders are meant to be bent and what is needed to influence them. There are government service and conduct rules which every employee is expected to adhere to since they are in service purely “on public interest”. However, when government employees flout rules, they do so because they believe that their interests matter and nothing else. Therefore, what had been stated by the Principal Director of the Department of H&FW in Dimapur, is nothing new against the backdrop of rampant and blatant disregard for the authority of any government department. These are not simple issues that can be accepted as normal goings on in the system. What the PD had stated, should be taken seriously. To describe the entire phenomenon, it is called “interference” in the decision making of any department. That means no departmental head today, can exercise his or her power and authority, as provided by the service rules, to decide and act on what is best for the department. Today, even the heads of departments have become partners in throwing the sanctity of government service rules and conduct to the winds to reward their favourites or curry favour with power politicians in order to safeguard their position. These days, the authority of the bureaucracy and the heads, has sharply declined since the late 80s and hasn’t stopped.

The consequence of loss of authority has also contributed to irregularities, supersession, absenteeism and backdoor appointments. One cause for concern in the total absence of work culture in most departments. This may be considered against the backdrop of the fact that Nagaland has the highest population to employee ratio in the country(and still rising, courtesy backdoor appointments). Time has come for the state to be realistic and accordingly do what is needed to bring a semblance of proportion between population to employment under the government. Government has become obese and employees are not having much work and so, doing precious little. This syndrome is the biggest hurdle against development. Only a small section of officers and staff are doing some work, while the rest spend less than two hours in offices. Prime Minister Modi had called for dismissal or cut in pension of officers found erring and still refusing to mend their ways. Central government employees are enjoying the best salary package in the country besides various other perks. An overhaul of the government’s work culture was one of the major changes Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised before taking charge. Even after 52 years of statehood, a majority of the districts and most far flung areas of Nagaland lack even the basic essentials-good road, power, water, schools, health centres. In part, absenteeism has been blamed as the cause. It may be pointed out that government employees earn not less than four to five times more than those in private firms; yet their output is hugely disproportionate. While the government employees may be focussed on what they ought to get, perhaps the people would also want them to also accept that they must also focus on what they ought to give by way of efficiency in services.

DailyDevotion Sanctification (2) But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us…sanctification… —1 Corinthians 1:30 The Life Side. The mystery of sanctification is that the perfect qualities of Jesus Christ are imparted as a gift to me, not gradually, but instantly once I enter by faith into the realization that He “became for [me]… sanctification….” Sanctification means nothing less than the holiness of Jesus becoming mine and being exhibited in my life.

The most wonderful secret of living a holy life does not lie in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfect qualities of Jesus exhibit themselves in my human flesh. Sanctification is “Christ in you…” (Colossians 1:27). It is His wonderful life that is imparted to me in sanctification— imparted by faith as a sovereign gift of God’s grace. Am I willing for God to make sanctification as real in me as it is in His Word?

Sanctification means the impartation of the holy qualities of Jesus Christ to me. It is the gift of His patience, love, holiness, faith, purity, and godliness that is exhibited in and through every sanctified soul.

Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy— it is drawing from Jesus the very holiness that was exhibited in Him, and that He now exhibits in me. Sanctification is an impartation, not an imitation. Imitation is something altogether different. The perfection of everything is in Jesus Christ, and the mystery of sanctification is that all the perfect qualities of Jesus are at my disposal. Consequently, I slowly but surely begin to live a life of inexpressible order, soundness, and holiness— “…kept by the power of God…” (1 Peter 1:5).

A view on AFSPA 1958

ith my limited and meager knowledge about history and politics, allow me to express a few words regarding the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958.In 1942 the then British government promulgated the armed forces special powers ordinance to contain the Quit India movement spearheaded by Mahatma Gandhi. Sixteen years later, based on that ordinance the Indian parliament passed the armed forces special powers act in 1958 commonly known as the AFSPA 1958 solely to crush the Naga national movement spearheaded by AZ Phizo. Once an area is tagged as ‘DISTURBED’ (undefined) by the central government, AFSPA automatically comes into force. The home ministry still feels Nagaland is a very disturbed and dangerous place and made no hesitation again in extending AFSPA 1958 to the whole of Nagaland for a period of six months wef June 30 2016.

Under this Act, the armed forces are given extraordinary powers to search or make arrests without warrants, to shoot on mere suspicion even to the extent of causing of death and no prosecutions or no legal proceedings can be initiated by any court against the security forces personnel for their actions without the sanction of the central government. AFSPA 1958 was first applied to the Naga hills(then under Assam) and then extended to other seven north eastern states and to other states including Jammu and Kashmir(AFSPA 1990). It’s a well-known fact that under this very Act and some couple of similar Acts before AFSPA 1958, Nagas especially in 1950’s and 1960’s had suffered the most. Under the pretext of fighting insurgency, AFSPA1958 continues to remain in Nagaland for more than five decades. This is ridiculous because when it was promulgated in Nagaland in 1958, there was only one Naga political group under the banner of NNC and here today we have nine or ten groups.

The point is, ‘is it really serving its purpose?’ Many renowned national as well as international human rights activists/organizations have widely condemned the Act and urged India

to repeal the Act for good saying the very Act overrides the constitution of India and is not in consonant with the international laws. Some worth mentioning are as follows; under the AFSPA 1958,article 14-equality before law, article 21-right to life, article 22protection against arrest and detention, article 32-right to constitutional remedies are violated. The United Nations human rights committee in 1997 declared that AFSPA is in violation of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) law to which India is also one of the signatories. The international human rights watchdog, Amnesty international has been urging India to withdraw AFSPA completely. in fact the UN in 2012 asked India to repeal AFSPA saying it has no role to play in Indian democracy. Even the Jeevan Reddy committee set up by the then UPA government in Nov. 2004 to review the provisions of AFSPA 1958 says the Act is “a symbol of oppression, instrument of high handedness” and had recommended its repeal but its still far from being implemented. Why set up a committee when its report is going to get rejected anyway? the most surprising and interesting of all is that the supreme court(the guardian of the constitution) is in no mood to strike down AFSPA as unconstitutional. This definitely emboldens some mindless and heartless individuals in the government set up to stick to their guns and never allow the Act to get repealed or even get amended. On one side, the international communities around the world especially the U.S which is also a democratic state like India is following standard procedures complying with the international laws in the military campaign against the dreaded ISIS. On the other side, India boasting herself as the largest democracy in the world is making mockery of her democracy by discriminating her own citizens through AFSPA 1958 in the north eastern states.

Instead the government of India should practice without any double standard the basic principle of democracy, that the government is’ by the people, of the people and for the people’.

Faction or Unity

A

t this juncture in the context Naga society especially in the rural area, even in the remote villages like Avakhung and Pangsha well recognised places known as International Trade Centre without function till date. The living exunderground old and young monotonously discuss about Nagas movement for freedom. At any time or any moment when they start to narrate their topic fro so called “Naga independent”- they don’t want to give a chance to other till deserted by audience.

Most of them always used to express their past history as journey to China Country in the year 1967 December when they went to east Pakistan now Bangladesh 1964. On one occasion during Phoyisha Culture festival at Sha Tuza village, the two of old man used to argue with each other and the eldest one is Mr. T. Mulaku and younger one is Y. Jithru. When the elder person lookdown and criticized on his fellow ex-UG and said I have much experience than you and even you are one of the ex-UG like others.

But in replied by younger person said that I any more experience than you while I vent to China and carried more knowledge from our leaders like Gen. Late Maw and Isak after all they were influenced by wine.

Nowadays, the people living in Naga villages including mere public are talking about faction and sovereignty by frequently without knowing the meaning and its process.

Let us remember this verse; Jesus said there is no need a physician for healthy people. So also villagers are like unhealthy

Nagas to be a nation is the will of God

T

he Naga National Council (NNC) was constituted by the Naga people on 2nd February, 1946. Thus NNC declared Naga independence on 14th August 1947 and conducted the Naga Voluntary Plebiscite on 16th May 1951 showing to the world to remain as a free Nation. On 22nd March, 1956 the Naga people through a Federation established the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) under the aegis of the Naga National Council (NNC). On that Historic day, the FGN made a covenant with God through the preamble of the Yehzabo (Constitution) of Nagaland, which reads, “We the people of Nagaland, solemnly acknowledging that the sovereignty over this earth and the entire universe belongs to Almighty God alone ………………….”.

These are the authorities who read out the following Bible verses and hoisted the Naga National flag for the first time on 22nd March 1956 at Parashen, Rengma Region: 1. Wheha, Ato Kilonser

= Matthew 6: 33.

2. Khriesaneisa, Kedahge = Romans 10: 18 and 1Peter 2: 9-10.

3. Kruzhalie, Ahng, = Romans 8: 33.

4. A.Z. Phizo, President, NNC = Zachariah 6: 4.

In order to resist the invading Indian Armed Forces which were sent by Nehru the then Prime Minister of India to Nagaland in 1954, the Federal Government of Nagaland was compelled to resist the aggressor, India and therefore, the Naga Army fought against Indian Armed forces till the International ceasefire was signed between the two Nations i.e. the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) and the Government of India (GOI) in 1964 through the initiative of NBCC. But the Ceasefire Agreement was unilaterally abrogated by the GOI in 1972, and the situation in Nagaland became bad to worse and thereby many National workers were requested by the village leaders

and parents to surrender. During this BROOM OPERATION carried out by the occupational Armed Forces of India, some National workers surrendered, but few National workers could withstand and came out without surrendering when peace was declared in Nagaland in 1975.

In the midst of this ugly situation, God revealed to the Nagas that, “Peace is coming soon for the Nagas and so they (National workers) would celebrate the Christmas of 1975 peacefully with their family members or parents”. Truly this was fulfilled and peace was brought to Nagaland in November 1975.

More than six hundred National workers were released from different jails of India and some hundreds of National workers who were saved from the bullets and deaths of the Indian Armed Forces came home and celebrated the Merry Christmas of 1975 with their family members and their dear ones.

How great and wonderful things that God has done for the Nagas.

So we should always give thanks to the Almighty God. At present many Nagas speak and write that reconciliation is a must and without which Naga sovereignty is not possible. Besides, the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) played an active role to bring all the factions under its banner through: 1. Reconciliation 2. The Naga historical right. The FNR conducted several meetings in Nagaland as well as outside Nagaland to reconcile among the factions. It is seen that through the initiative of FNR, bloodshed in Nagaland was at least reduced. However the FNR did not come in touch with the historical right of the Nagas so far.

In defence of the Naga sovereign right, many Naga patriots were killed by the Indian Armed Forces as well as by our own Naga brothers for holding the Naga Historical right and these are the most difficult tasks to save our people and nation from the outrages of traitors and the aggressor, India.

The framework agreement ing and from the strategic point of view, China has an upper hand with regard to the control of the North east region if in any case war ensues between the two countries. It is also easier for the Chinese to move their troops in to the North East region than for India to send its reinforcements to the North East. Once the Chicken’s neck is under the control of the Chinese, the entire North East will be cut off from the mainland India and India cannot risk of being a mute spectator while large chunk of its territory is annexed by its neighbors.

Besides, the Ministry of Home Affairs has also ruled out any possibility of giving separate flag and passport

which the NSCN IM has been bragging about all these time. If absolute sovereignty is not the question then it means some tacit understanding have been arrived at between the GoI and NSCN IM at the signing of the framework agreement negating the tall claim of the NSCN IM that it would take nothing less than‘sovereignty’.

With barely a month left for the agreement to reach a year it is time they stop fooling the public with false hope. With the passing away of Asu Isak, a tall standing figure in the NSCN IM set, the power of the organization is now mainly concentrated in the hands of NSCN M (Muivah) one of the signatories of the Framework Agreement. Mr.Muivah should

now take into consideration the aspirations of the people with due respect to the departed soul of Asu Isak who always wished for the wellbeing of the people. The more the contents of the agreement are kept aloof from the public the more serious the repercussions will be. The NSCN IM should also know that the ‘Framework Agreement’ that it had signed with the GoI should not lead to the ushering of new factions as was the case with the signing of the ‘Shillong Accord’ and should be meticulous while framing the agreement so that history does not repeat itself.

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life……….”. Before Jesus was crucified on the Cross, Jesus was brought before Governor Pilate for trial. Where the Jews shouted that Jesus be crucified and Barabas be set free, and that was happened. But Jesus rose on the third day bringing salvation to all mankind whosoever believed in Him. In the same way many Nagas are shouting in support of the murderers and traitors as Jews were in favour of Barabas. Judas Iscariot was one of the disciples of Jesus, but he betrayed his Master for the lust of money. Similarly some of our people are doing so and they may continue to do so till the victory of our Nation comes.

Thousands of Nagas have been killed by the renegades pretending to be a true Nationalist and our people are blindly believing them. Is not it a time for Nagas to understand?

Can such Pseudo Nagas who are dwelling in the capital of the enemy bring logical solution for the Nagas?

Can our people expect right solution from India the aggressor through imposters? All these are against the will of God and God does not want the Nagas to live together with the Idol worshipers.

The beautiful Nagaland never lived under any Kings or Queens nor ruled by any foreign nations, whereas India had been ruled by various Kings and Empires before British ruled over India. Therefore, India has no right to claim that Nagaland is an Indian territory. In order to wipe out our rights India had applied all sorts of barbaric acts, but by the grace of God and His protection we have been saved till today.

From the beginning to this day, we have experienced His wonderful and miraculous deeds. Therefore, it is our bounden responsibility to proclaim His name to the world. The sooner we understand His love, the better we live in peace.

Reader’s Post

(A riddle wrapped up in an enigma)

(From previous issue) 4. China Factor: India’s relation with China has always been far from good. A close analysis of the relationship between the two countries reveals a rather clandestine approach taken by both the countries against each other.

The ‘Siliguri corridor’ or the ‘Chicken’s neck’ is of strategic importance for India which connects the mainland India with the rest of the North-east.

India cannot risk of losing NorthEast to its adversaries by grantingsovereignty to the Nagas. It is an obvious fact that China would annex the Naga inhabited areas once it is set free which would mean that the security of India will be threatened. Realistically speak-

people and they need a physician for their health care. Who will make them to know about Sovereignty and factions? The former President of NNC Late A.Z. Phizo described it Naga as a sovereign nation and under no nation rule before the advent of white people. We lived independently although unrecognized country by other nations.

Nagas are a nation of having its tribes and villages with their sovereignty, each village has its own king or village chief, they lived independently under Naga inhabited area economically, socially, culturally and having their own respective customary law within their own jurisdiction. In reality sovereign means a nation of independent and not under the authority of any other country.

And the other and faction is not so important than unity.

Faction means make division into form many smaller organisation breakout of disunity from main organization and disagreed to each other by ideology and political will or system.

Therefore Naga need her independent and sovereignty but not factional war. If there is a sovereignty, there will be no faction and also faction is only the root cause of disunity and self style Govt.

The writer of this passage is not only saying for Naga factions but want to make understand the actual meaning of faction and sovereignty to the villagers and mere public of Nagaland those who are yet to improve the knowledge for their future “we want unity” not war.

Police removes barricades putup by protesters during protest march against the killing of 45 persons, in Srinagar on Saturday. (PTI) in the Mehbooba Mufti government, including Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh.

A group of Muslim clerics also met Singh at the highsecurity Nehru Guest House.

A delegation of Shikarawalas and houseboat owners also called on the Home Minister and apprised him of their problems.

A Home Ministry release said Singh would meet Governor N N Vohra and the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti later today. Mehbooba was away meeting families of those killed in action by security forces when Singh arrived here.

Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industr y (KCCI) and Kashmir Economic Alliance (KEA), two major representative trade bodies in the Valley, decided not to meet the Home Min-

ister, saying such exercises in the past have been futile.

Meanwhile, curfew was lifted from Bandipora, Baramulla, Budgam and Ganderbal districts and some parts of Srinagar city in view of the improving situation in these areas, a police official said.

The official, however, said restrictions on assembly of four or more people under Section 144 CrPC will continue in the areas where curfew has been lifted. He said curfew remained in force in Anantnag, Kulgam, Kupwara, Pulwama and Shopian districts of the Valley and eight police station areas of the city.

Singh is scheduled to hold meetings with state government officials, political leaders and others during his two-day stay. However, representatives of the two

trade bodies, who were to meet him today, decided to boycott him.

Meanwhile, two senior police officers have been transferred from South Kashmir range, which was worst hit by violence following killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Wani.

Senior IPS officer Ghulam Hassan Bhat has been posted as DIG South Kashmir range, replacing Nitish Kumar, a government spokesman said.

He said SSP Anantnag Abdul Jabbar was also transfered and replaced by SSP Traffic (Rural) Zubair.

The KEA, in an open letter to the Home Minister, said while they could understand the urgency for his visit to Kashmir for assessing the situation, “we also can esily determine the futility of this exercise.”

In the hard-hitting letter, the trade body accused the Union ministers of showing “arrogance and hostility” to the people of the Valley about whose problems they had “no real knowledge”. “Your predecessors have used similar tactics in almost similar situations and once you have met with some representative bodies you go back and sleep over all the issues confronting the people here and issue statements without addressing the ground realities. Therefore, Mr. Singh we have decided not to meet you,” the KEA said in the letter.

It criticised Singh for his statement in Parliament in which he had blamed Pakistan for the disturbance in Kashmir. “Please seek the cooperation and guidance of the real leaders of people and stakeholders, that includes Pakistan,” the KEA said.

‘Govt to ensure passage of GST Bill’ NEW DELHI, JUL 23 (PTI): Government is engaging with various parties to ensure the passage of GST Bill during the ongoing Monsoon session of Parliament, Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ananth Kumar said today. He said there is “widespread” demand for early introduction of the GST bill in Rajya Sabha, where it is pending for a long time, and government will make “best possible” efforts to make this key tax reform legislation sees the light of the day.

“There is a widespread demand for early introduction of GST from almost all the political parties, state governments, trade and industrial bodies and even general public. Government is engaged in talks with political parties to ensure passage of the Bill during the current Monsoon session.

“The government on its part would make the best possible effort to ensure that this long pending legislation sees the light of the day during this session. I appeal to all parties to sense the mood of the nation and cooperate in this regard,” he said.

Kumar said the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) of Rajya Sabha has already allocated five hours for discussing this Bill and termed it as an important development.

The Minister said bills relating to afforestation fund, prevention of corruption, benami transactions and whistle blowers protection are on the agenda during the second week of the session.

After a productive first week of the Monsoon session that saw passage of five bills out of 16 proposed by the government, he said five bills have been lined up for consideration and passage in the coming week.

Docs filed by candidates in 2004 elections not traceable: EC educational qualifications of Irani, against whom a complaint was filed for allegedly giving false information in affidavits to the poll panel.

“The original election forms and affidavits of all candidates who contested Lok Sabha election from Chandni Chowk in 2004 are not traceable despite best efforts. However, their photocopies are available on the commission’s website,” the poll panel official told Metropolitan Magistrate Harvinder Singh. An affidavit was also filed by the official regarding the information furnished by Irani while contesting 2004

elction. Meanwhile, the court completed recording of statement of complainant Ahmer Khan, a freelance writer, and posted the matter for further hearing on August 27.

The court had on November 20 last year allowed the plea of complainant seeking a direction to the officials of EC and Delhi University to bring records of Irani’s qualifications after he said he was unable to place them before the court. The complainant had claimed that Irani had deliberately given discrepant information about her educational qualification in affidavits filed before the poll

‘Don’t delay treatment of patients with eye injuries’ The court directed the Director, Health Services, Kashmir, and Principal, Government Medical College, Srinagar, to ensure that the patients admitted for retina surgery and other eye treatment “are treated without loss of time” and sought a status report by July 26.

The division bench directed the law enforcement agencies not to close any medical shop during the times when there are restrictions and, wherever necessary, protection be provided for selling of medicines as the state cannot allow people to suffer for want of medicines.

The court said it is also reported that about 140 patients need retina surgeries within the next three weeks.

It is also reported that hospital can conduct surgeries of three to four patients in a day which means roughly 28 surgeries in a week can be made and to operate upon 140 patients, it may take about five weeks.

“However, the patients need to be operated upon within three weeks after getting the primary treatment of the injury and if there is delay the patients eye globe will shrink and will become visually disabled for life,” the court said.

It said if the details in the news reports were found to be true, immediate steps have to be taken to treat patients, including conducting of retina surgeries.

“Want of space or operation table or surgical items or surgeons cannot be an answer to deny timely treatment to the patients who are to be treated for getting vision in their eyes.

“These are highly abnormal times for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. You should not stop the voluntary organizations.

“Please do not do it. You must encourage them. Please also do not interfere with the working of NGOs who are distributing medicine to the people,” the court said, asking the government to ensure opening of medical shops even in night hours.

The court also asked the government to provide relaxation in the curfew at least in certain peaceful areas. “It has been 14-15 days. For how many days can you shut the doors? There must be some relaxation, at least in some peaceful areas.

“The other day, they announced relaxation but some unwise people advised you otherwise. They are making their own people suffer. Have some wise people who can advise the government,” it said.

The division bench said the government must also ensure everybody gets ration and other essential items.

“People should not suffer,” it said.

The court also asked the Jammu and Kashmir Bank to keep open its ATMs and branches so that people can avail the facilities.

“You have your (security) protection and you can also approach police (for protection) if there is need,” it said.

RAJKOT, JUL 23 (PTI): Criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “deafening silence” over the issue of public thrashing of Dalits in a Gujarat village, CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat Saturday said this shows his “support to criminal activities” of cow protection committees.

Karat and CPI(M) MP PK Biju are in Gujarat to meet the victims of atrocities on Dalits and their family members at Mota Samadhiyala village under Una tehsil of Gir-Somnath district.

A group of Dalit youths from the village were paraded and flogged last week for allegedly skinning a dead cow.

panel in 2004, 2011 and 2014 and not given any clarification despite concerns being raised on the issue. Khan had alleged that Irani had knowingly furnished misleading information about her educational qualifications in affidavits filed before EC and that a candidate deliberately giving incorrect details could be punished under provisions of IPC and under section 125A of Representation of the People Act (RPA).

Section 125A of RPA deals with penalty for filing false affidavit and entails a jail term of upto six months or fine or both.

Srinagar, Jul 23 (PTI): The Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Saturday said the state government should discontinue use of pellet guns for crowd control during law and order situation in view of the statement made by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh in Parliament.

“The (Union) Home Minister has said in the Lok Sabha that an expert committee will be framed to find substitutes to pellet guns.

“This statement should be sufficient for the government to discontinue the use of pellet guns,” a division bench of the court said here while hearing a PIL. The bench comprising Chief Justice N Paul Vasanthakumar and Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar said Singh’s statement also meant that the pellet guns were “not nonlethal”.

The Home Minister’s statement meant that in Kashmir it is not non-lethal weapon, the court said, adding the procedures have to be reasonable, fair and just.

The court directed the government to provide necessary treatment to all those injured in the ongoing unrest and shift those, who need specialised medical attention, out of the state.

“Ensure that treatment is provided to the patients. Shift those who need specialized treatment,” it said.

Observing that “when a person loses his eyesight, he loses everything, he loses universe”, the division bench said, “No sensitive soul can bear looking at these pictures (in a newspaper of a minor boy injured in security forces action).

He is a five-year-old child. You cannot accuse him of throwing stones”.

The court also asked the government not to interfere in the working of voluntary

Rajnath begins Kashmir visit; curfew lifted in parts of Valley

SRINAGAR, JUL 23 (PTI): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Saturday began his two-day Kashmir visit to give a healing touch to the restive Valley, with two trade bodies boycotting him as curfew was lifted from four districts and parts of Srinagar town but remained in force in other areas as a precautionary measure.

Barring stray incidents of stone-pelting, the day passed off peacefully.

As the situation in the troubled Valley, which was on the boil for several days following the killing of militant commander Burhan Wani on July 8 in an encounter with security forces, somewhat eased, Home Minister Rajnath Singh began his visit of the state to take stock of the situation.

Manila, Jul 23 (IANS): Finnish telecommunications giant Nokia is all set to make a smartphone comeback with two new Android 7.0 Nougat devices by the end of this year, a media report said on Saturday.

The two unnamed devices will have premium metal designs complete with IP68 certification, which means they will be as water resistant as Samsung’s Galaxy S7, The Inquirer reported.

The smartphones may come up with 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch QHD screens, along with fingerprint scanner and “innovations” in the camera, the report noted.

Both the smartphones are expected to feature split-screen modes, enhanced notifications and improved gaming thanks to support for the Vulkan API and could bring “elements of touch and hover interaction”, hinting 3D Touch-like technology.

The struggling company revealed in May that it licensed Finland-based HMD to produce Nokia branded mobile phones and tablets.

“It was also informed that IWAI will take forward the discussion with the private sector and public sector companies who have expressed long term interest in utilizing the National Waterways for freight movement,” said the statement.

Of the total navigable length of 14,500 km, 5,200 km of rivers and 4,000 km of canals can be used by mechanized craft. However, approximately 90 percent of freight in India currently moves through land transport (road, rail, pipelines).

CHENGDU (China), Jul 23 (Agencies): The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned risks to the global economy are growing, as it called on some G20 nations to boost government spending.

Central bank chiefs and finance ministers from the world’s top 20 economies gathered in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu on Saturday to tackle a slowing global economy facing new uncertainties with Britain voting to leave the European Union (EU).

“Global growth remains weak, and downside risks have become more salient,” the IMF said in a report released ahead of the G20 meeting.

Istanbul, Jul 23 (AFP): Turkey today pushed with a sweeping crackdown against suspects accused of taking part in the failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, extending police powers to hold people in detention and shuttering over 1,000 private schools.

A week after renegade soldiers tried to oust him with guns, tanks and F16s, Erdogan’s government has rounded up or sacked tens of thousands of perceived state enemies, including almost 300 officers of the guard shielding his Ankara palace.

But in its first major release of suspects amid global criticism of the crackdown, Turkey set free 1,200 soldiers.

Under heightened police powers, suspects can now be held without charge for one month, up from four days, the official gazette announced on the third day of what Erdogan has said would be a three-month state of emergency.

Fears that the strongman will seek to further cement his rule and muzzle dissent through repression have strained ties with Western NATO allies and cast a darkening shadow over Turkey’s long-standing bid to join the European Union.

After Brussels issued stinging criticism and warned Erdogan that bringing back the death penalty would end the membership bid for good, Erdogan fired back that the EU had taken a “biased and prejudiced” stance on Turkey.

He added bitterly that “for the past 53 years Europe has been making us wait” and that no EU candidate country “has had to suffer like we have had to suffer”.

they fled screaming.

Survivors described terrifying scenes as shoppers rushed from the area, some carrying children in their arms. “We entered McDonald’s to eat... then there was panic, and people ran out,” one woman told Bavarian television.

Another video appeared to show the gunman on a car park roof exchanging a tirade of insults with a man on a nearby balcony.

“I’m German, I was born here,” the assailant replies after the man fired off a volley of swear words, including an offensive term for foreigners.

Police initially believed there could be up to three assailants.

Tim Kaine Washington, Jul 23 (PTI): Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has picked Tim Kaine, a seasoned politician and a Senator from the battleground-state of Virginia, to be her vice presidential running mate as she gears up for an epic clash with Republican Donald Trump in the November polls.

“I’m thrilled to announce my running mate, Tim Kaine, a man who’s devoted his life to fighting for others,” Clinton announced on Twitter last night, days ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

“Tim Kaine is a relentless optimist who believes no problem is unsolvable if you put in the work to solve it,” she said. Kaine, 58, is a former Governor of Virginia. He was elected to the US Senate on 2013. He is a member of the Senate India Caucus. He had visited India as part of a Congressional delegation in October 2014.

Washington, Jul 22 (PTI): US President Barack Obama today rejected Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s claim that America is in deep crisis, asserting that it does not jibe with facts as violent crime and illegal immigration have plunged during his leadership to their lowest rates in last three decades.

“We’re not going to make good decisions based on fears that don’t have a basis in fact,” Obama told reporters at a joint news conference with his Mexican counterpart Enrique Pena Nieto.

“America is much less violent than it was 20, 30 years ago. Immigration is much less a problem than it was not just 20 or 30 years ago, but when I came in as president. That doesn’t mean we haven’t solved those problem, but those are facts,” Obama said in response to a question. Obama said he did not watch the convention, but has a broader idea of what was discussed during the fourday event in Cleveland.

“I don’t think that’s a surprise. I’ve got a lot of stuff to do and they are pretty long events. But I did read some of what was said, and the one thing that I think is important to recognise is this idea that America is somehow on the verge of collapse, this vision of violence and chaos everywhere, doesn’t really jibe with the experience of most people,” he said. “I think it is important, just to be absolutely clear here, that some of the fears that were expressed throughout the week just don’t jibe with the facts.

176 killed or missing in heavy rains in China Beijing, Jul 23 (PTI): Sixty people were either killed or missing in fresh torrential rain and floods in north China, taking the toll to 176 due to rainstorms this week that have flattened homes and triggered massive evacuation, officials said today.

As many as 26 people were killed and 34 others listed missing in Hebei Province in the rains in the rain since yesterday, local officials said.

42 people were killed and 74 missing in heavy rains in central and north areas on July 21. Jingxing County, located in the west of the province, saw an average precipitation of 545.4 mm in 19 hours on July 20, surpassing the amount received by the county in the whole of 2015.

The local government has A man sits outside of a flooded shop in Shenyang in northeastern China’s Liaoning evacuated 38,750 people from Province. the area, state-run Xinhua news

agency reported today.

There have been power outages, disruptions to communication and other infrastructure, and road closures across Jingxing.

North and northeast China have been swept by heavy rain this week, causing many casualties and a lot of property damage.

Meanwhile, Chinese disaster relief authorities today launched an emergency response to deadly floods in Shanxi Province.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Commission for Disaster Reduction have also sent teams to assist relief work in the northern province. The development came even as angry people accused officials of negligence in handling of the floods and online footage showed locals clashing with police.

Barack Obama let’s take two specific examples.

When it comes to crime, the violent crime rate in America has been lowered during my presidency than anytime in the last three, four decades,” he said. Acknowledging an uptick in murders in some US cities this year, he said the violent crime rate is still far lower than when Ronald Reagan was president in the 1980s.

“Although it is true that we’ve seen an uptick in murders and violent crime in some cities this year, the fact of the matter is that the murder rate today, the violence rate today is far lower than it was when Ronald Reagan was president and lower than when I took office,” he said.

“We’ve just gone through

a tragic period where we saw both tragedy in Minnesota and Baton Rouge, and then the insanity and the viciousness of people targeting police officers.

And we are all heart broken by that and we’re all troubled by how we can rebuild trust, support law enforcement and make sure the communities feel that they are being fairly policed,” he said.

“The fact is that the rate of intentional killings of police officers is also significantly lower than it was when Ronald Reagan was president. Those are facts. That’s the data.”

On immigration, he said illegal migration into the US today is lower by two-thirds than it was when Reagan was president. “When it comes to immigration, I think Americans expect that our immigration process is orderly and it is legal. And we have put unprecedented resources at our border,” said the US President.

“Well, it turns out that the rate of illegal migration into the United States today is lower by two-thirds than it was when Ronald Reagan was president.

We have far fewer undocumented workers crossing the border today than we did in the ‘80s or the ‘90s or when George Bush was president.

That’s a fact,” he said.

Ali Sonboly A police spokesman had said earlier that terrorism was suspected, without revealing any immediate indications of an Islamist link.

Armed with a handgun, the attacker opened fire at a McDonald’s restaurant and continued along the street before entering the mall.

Andrae said there were young people among the nine dead and that some of the 16 injured were children.

A police patrol had shot and wounded the gunman but he managed to escape, he said.

“We found a man who killed himself. We assume that he was the only shooter,” police said on Twitter.

A video posted on social media appeared to show a man in black walking away from a McDonald’s while firing repeatedly on people as

Munich’s main train station was evacuated and metro and bus transport suspended for several hours while residents were ordered to stay inside, leaving the streets largely deserted. By early today, transport services were running again.

“We are determined to do everything we can so that terror and inhuman violence stand no chance in Germany,” Merkel’s chief of staff Peter Altmaier said.

President Joachim Gauck said he was horrified by the “murderous attack”, while US President Barack Obama voiced staunch support for Washington’s close ally.

“Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all German people. Europe stands united,” EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said.

The attack came just days after a 17-year-old asylum seeker went on a rampage with an axe and a knife on a train on Monday near Wuerzburg, also in Bavaria, injuring five people.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere had said that assailant was believed to be a “lone wolf ” who appeared to have been “inspired” by Islamic State group but was not a member of the jihadist network.

Munich shooter acted alone; toll reaches nine

Munich, Jul 23 (AFP): A teenage German-Iranian gunman has killed nine people in a shooting rampage at a busy Munich mall and then committed suicide with the German police saying today that he likely acted alone.

Nine people were killed and 16 wounded as the gunman brought terror to Germany’s third largest city last evening, the third attack on civilians in Europe in eight days.

“Bloodbath in Munich,” was the headline on the bestselling Bild newspaper as shockwaves reverberated across the continent.

The killing sent the southern city into lockdown as elite police launched a massive operation to track down what had initially been thought to be up to three assailants.

Chancellor Angela Merkel will convene her security council today to address the shooting, which came just days after an axe rampage on a train in the same German state of Bavaria and just over a week after a truck attack in the French Riviera city of Nice that killed 84 people.

“The perpetrator was an 18-year-old German-Iranian from Munich,” police chief Hubertus Andrae told reporters, adding that he had no criminal record.

“The motive or explanation for this crime is completely unclear,” he said.

e danced, he sang and he acted... but no matter what he did, this great comedian ended up making his audience double up in laughter each time, and on some occasions, soon after he had made his appearance in a scene.

In spite of rarely playing the lead role, he was a superstar alright. His name helped producers sell more tickets and his picture on the poster ensured that scores turned up at the theatres. Such was the effect of this young, funny man and his self-effacing easy humour that it is said that some male stars of his time were insecure about sharing screen space with him.

The sixties belonged to this mad, mad man who was so effortless that sometimes it’d seem like he had forgotten that he was in front of the camera.

There was a time when his presence in films was impera-

tive for the film to do well at the box office.

He must be one of the few comedians who managed to deliver box-office hits with some films riding solely on his shoulders. A case in point is Do Phool where he played the double role of Chuttan and Phuttan with much aplomb.

Mehmood was not just a laugh-a-minute comedian.

This intelligent man went on to make some sensitive films like Ginni Aur Johnny and Kunwara Baap.

We speak to some newage comedians to tell us about their impression of this onetime phenomenon...

Sunil Grover-Quote unquote: “One can learn from Mehmood how to be easy, effortless, natural and impactful.

He had an amazing connect with the audiences. He believed in what he did. And he did it on his own terms. He will always live on in our hearts. I loved his comic timing, especially the scene where he narrates a ghost story to Om Prakash in the film, Pyar Kiye Jaa.” Sajid Khan-Quote unquote: “He was called the king of comedy by the media and that was so well-deserved. He had this one-to-one connection with the audiences. He would give them the feeling that he was one of them; people would watch films just to catch his comedy track. So many of his movies have classic comedy scenes that will remain funny

rake has retained the UK number one spot for the 15th consecutive week.

His single One Dance is now only two weeks away from breaking the record for the longest uninterrupted reign at the top of the chart.

Bryan Adams’s single Everything I Do (I Do It For You), which held the number one spot for 16 weeks in 1991, is the current record holder.

The last single to notch up 15 weeks at number one was Wet Wet Wet’s Love Is All Around, released in 1994.

One Dance owes much of its continued success to its popularity on streaming sites.

The song received 4.33 million streams this week equivalent to 43,300 sales.

It has also been boosted

by its absence from YouTube, which has prompted music fans to download or stream the song in order to hear it.

Mourinho’s Man Utd lose to Dortmund

Memphis Depay closes down defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos during a run-out through the middle.

Olympics 2016: PM Modi to flag off ‘Run for Rio’ event New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI): In order to create ‘Olympic Fever’ in the country ahead of next month’s multi-sporting spectacle in Brazil, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off ‘Run for Rio’ event at India Gate here on July 31, Sports Minister Vijay Goel said on Saturday. “We want to create a fever of Olympics in the country and keeping that in mind, we will be organising a ‘Run for Rio’ event from India Gate.

When I talked to Prime Minister Modi about this idea, he said he will come and flag off this run. Thousands of people will join the run to give their support to the Olympic athletes,” said Goel at the ASSOCHAM conference here. Besides this, giant screens will also be put up at the Central Park here starting August 1, along with an exhibition containing information on Rio-bound Athletes.

“A big screen will be placed below the flag at the central park along with an exhibition in which there will be posters and cutouts of Olympians like Vijender Singh and others.

This will create a carnival-type scenario,” he said. Responding to a query on the state of boxing in India, Goel said, “Presently, we don’t have a boxing federation in India. Our complete concentration is on Rio-bound boxers. We have formed an ad hoc committee so that no problem arises in their preparations and for sending them to Rio.”

Mourinho did not include Wayne Rooney, opting to give his captain more time to get fit after only joining the squad earlier in the week after Euro 2016.

Dortmund enjoyed the better of the early skirmishes and when they took the lead in the 19th minute the United defence had only themselves to blame.

Rosberg grabs dramatic pole position for Hungarian GP

Nico Rosberg pipped Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton to pole position for Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

B u da p e st, J u l 2 3 (Agencies): Nico Rosberg stole pole position from under the nose of Lewis Hamilton in a chaotic wet-dry qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Hamilton was on what would almost certainly have been the pole lap when he came across the McLaren of Fernando Alonso, which had spun. He had to back off and lost the lap, while Rosberg, running behind Hamilton, was able to complete his.

The Red Bulls of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen start third and fourth.

The session started on a soaking track after heavy rain, ended two hours later, and featured four red flags - three of them for crashes. Hamilton will be frustrated after losing

what was looking like being a remarkable lap - he had been 0.35secs up on his own previous best time on the first sector on the final lap, and was 0.4secs faster there than Rosberg - only to come across Alonso’s McLaren broadside across the track at Turn Nine.

Hamilton said: “I felt good on the lap. I was a bit unfortunate with Fernando but these things happen. I’m not too disappointed and we still have a long race ahead of us.”

The yellow caution flags were also displayed for Rosberg on his lap, but he said he did not expect to lose the time for not slowing sufficiently.

“I had a big lift and I was also slower in that segment than on previous lap so I am sure I will be OK,” Rosberg said.

Vijender Singh pleads for an end to Indian boxing’s administrative mess New Delhi, Jul 23 (PTI): Worried about the administrative logjam in Indian boxing, recently-crowned WBO Asia Pacific champion Vijender Singh today pleaded with the officials to put together a new federation at the earliest for the sake of country’s pugilists.

Speaking at the ASSOCHAM conference, in the presence of Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel, Vijender said the country’s boxers have been denied a voice at international events because of the current situation. “Our country does not have a boxing federation since last three to four years. (An) ad-hoc committee is presently running boxing. Earlier we had Abhay Singh Chautala as the Boxing Federation President for 10 to 12 years (till 2012), things went well but later the court case started and since then we don’t have any federation,”

Vijender Singh the 2008 Olympic bronzemedallist said.

“I want India to have a Boxing Federation again and anyone including (national coach Gurbax Singh) Sandhu Sir can become president of it but a federation is required which can fight for the rights of the boxers,” said Singh, who turned professional last year.

In 2012, the erstwhile

Indian Amateur Boxing Federation (IABF) was terminated for manipulation in elections. The body that took shape later -- Boxing India -- could not run the show for even a year and had to be dissolved after a rebellion by the state units. Ever since, an adhoc committee appointed by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) is administering the sport and elections are being planned tentatively in September to put together a new body -- the Boxing Federation of India.

This logjam has affected Indian Boxing as only three boxers have qualified for the Rio Olympics as compared to eight in London in 2012.

Singh called on the country to pray for the athletes going to Rio for next month’s Olympics and said “Unko Dua mein yaad rakhna” (Remember them in your prayers).

IOC strips Turkish weightlifter of silver

Lausanne, Jul 23 (IANS): The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced it ordered Turkish weightlifter Sibel Ozkan to return the sliver medal she won at the 2008 Olympic Games for violating anti-doping rules.

Ozkan, 28, came second in the 48kg category in Beijing, but she was caught after the IOC ordered a retest of samples from both the 2008 Games and 2012 Olympics in London, reports Xinhua.

The IOC on Friday asked her to return her medal after she had tested positive for the metabolites of anabolic steroid stanozolol. Earlier on Friday, the IOC reported 45 new doping cases from the two previous Olympic Games after more than 1,200 samples, notably those of past medal winners, were reanalysed, bringing the total number of positive drug tests to 98.

London, Jul 23 (IANS): English football club Sunderland on Saturday confirmed the appointment of former Manchester United head coach David Moyes for four years.

The 53-year-old Scot, who was out of work since being sacked by Spanish side Real Sociedad last November, replaces Sam Allardyce who was on Friday appointed the chief coach of England’s men’s national team.

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome David Moyes to Sunderland, who was by

far and away our first choice.

He is a man whose football pedigree speaks for itself and is someone I have long admired,” Sunderland club chairman Ellis Short said in a statement.

“He was my number one managerial target for the last five appointments, but his desire to honour existing contracts meant we were not able to bring him to Sunderland previously.

To be able to finally welcome him as our manager is fantastic news for the club,” he added.

“The fact that David has committed to a four-year deal

is a clear demonstration of his belief in what he can achieve here. “It is our aim to become a better, stronger and more stable football club and with a manager of David’s calibre and experience at the helm, we have a fantastic opportunity to begin looking upwards, rather than downwards every season.”

Moyes said: “I am delighted to have joined Sunderland. I am relishing the challenge and excited by the opportunity.

“I have taken over a big British club with a great support and I’m looking forward to

Shanghai, Jul 23 (Agencies): New Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho saw his side get off to a poor start on their tour of China when they lost 4-1 to Borussia Dortmund on Friday.

Temperatures of 35 Celsius (95 Farenheit) at the 8:00 pm kick-off time in Shanghai meant the International Champions Cup match was largely played at a pedestrian

started training one match and 10 days ago and who has had one month and four games,” Mourinho told reporters after the match. “This was Formula One against Formula Three, they are much sharper.”

United’s only chance of the first half fell to Jesse Lingard on the break, but his weak right-foot effort was easily snaffled by goalkeeper Roman Wiedenfeller.

The second-half exploded into life in the 57th minute.

Frenchman Dembele scored the goal of the night as the summer signing from Rennes turned Marcos Rojo inside-out before burying a right-foot shot into the corner for Dortmund’s third.

Two minutes later new midfielder signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored his first goal for United -- against his old employers -- when he slotted into an empty net after being set up unselfishly by Juan Mata.

Mkhitaryan, who could have scored a couple more, shone brightest for Mourinho’s undercooked side as the North Rhine-Westphalian giants sealed an emphatic win in spectacular style when Castro smashed home a stunner four minutes from time.

“It’s been 10 days of work. People are really tired,” said Mourinho. “High quality opposition and the reality is we have six players still in Europe plus Rooney and (Chris Smalling) who are only training.

“That is eight not involved. Some others are not going to stay in the squad and it will be different than it is at the moment.”

United wrap up their tour against Manchester City in Beijing on Monday.

Futsal League: Mumbai enter final

Mumbai 5s’ Angellot (L) scored in three different quarters to help Mumbai win.

Goa, Jul 23 (PTI): In a thrilling encounter, Mumbai 5s held their nerve to defeat Kolkata 5s 4-2 in the first semifinal of the Premier Futsal and storm into the finals to be played on Sunday.

Mumbai’s in-form player Colombian Angellot, who starred in the win with three goals, was ably supported especially by Charanpreet and Fogila during the match played at the Peddam Indoor Stadium here.

Angellot continued his good form and netted the ball in the 9th minute and gave the side a lead over their rivals. He displayed some outstanding skills as he scored evading the Kolkata defence.

Both the sides, though were aggressive in their approach in the quarter, Mumbai 5s had an upper hand. Kolkata players too had their chances, but missed them on occasions.

The story remained the same in the second quarter with Mumbai dominating and scored two goals to make it 3-0 at the half time even as their crowd cheered for their marquee player and former Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.

In the 11th minute, it was Angellot again who scored his second goal and extended the lead. The coordination and passes of the Mumbai players was up to the mark and so were their counter

attacks. Kolkata remained clueless in this quarter. In the 20th minute, Kevin Ramiraz made it 3-0 as he nut megged the keeper and put pressure on them.

Futsal is a game where things can change within minutes and Kolkata 5s fans witnessed it in the third quarter as they tried to bounce back by scoring two quick goals. While it was Vander Carioca who scored in the 22nd minute with a brilliant volley, in the 24th minute in what was a successful counter attack, Gabrial netted the ball to make it 3-2.

Mumbai could have gone way ahead had Angellot not missed a definite chance and a

pass after just a few seconds in the quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Angellot made the most of Kolkata 5 week defence and what was an open goal post, he scored it easily in the 32nd minute taking his team ahead 4-2.

During the match, Mumbai keeper Luis Amado too saved some good shots from the opposition players. Their defence remained strong as they did not give any opportunity to Kolkata 5s players in the quarter.

Kolkata tried hard but all their efforts went in vain as they were unable to match Mumbai and at the end of the play.

Kohli’s double ton a classy knock: Viv Richards Antigua, Jul 23 (IANS): West Indian legend Vivian Richards has hailed Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli’s maiden double century on day two of the first Test against the hosts as a “classy” knock.

“I think it was a magnificent hundred. To score a double hundred at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground is a formidable task in terms of what he has achieved,” Richards told the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) website on Friday.

“I remember when I met him at the hotel (before the Test series) I did say good luck, but I didn’t believe he would take it this far in terms of achieving a double.

As a batsman myself, it was very pleasing to see and even though it was against the West Indies, I do appreciate seeing class and his was a classy knock,” he added.

Richards said he thoroughly enjoyed the Delhi batsman’s effort with the willow.

Kohli scored 200 from 283 deliveries to guide India to a commanding 566/8 along with the other centurion Ravichandran Ashwin (113).

“Those who weren’t here missed something, but I saw it and I am happy to say that it’s the first time I saw (Virat) Kohli make century and to see him complete the double.

I was here to speak, so I had a very good seat and I thoroughly enjoyed that,” he said.

PTI adds: Meanwhile, “Extremely satisfied” with his maiden Test double hundred, India skipper Virat Kohli says the feat has helped him wipe off the memories of his disappointing debut tour to the Caribbean in 2011 when he had struggled with the bat.

India reduces WI to 90/3 at lunch, lead by 476 runs

Indian players unsuccessfully appeal for the wicket of West Indies’ Devendra Bishoo during day three, Saturday. (AP/PTI) North Sound (Antigua), Jul 23 (PTI): Pacer Mohammed Shami picked up the crucial wicket of Darren Bravo just before lunch to peg West Indies back on day three of the first cricket Test here Saturday. The hosts reached 90 for three at lunch, still trailing by 476 runs in reply to India’s mammoth first innings total of 566 for eight declared.

At the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Kraigg Brathwaite (46 batting) defied the Indian bowlers along with Devendra Bishoo (12), as the duo put on 38 for the second wicket but more importantly frustrated the visitors by batting out 17.5 overs. Starting at their overnight score of 31/1, Bishoo looked to stay with his partner for as long as possible, and he was successful in achieving that goal. He frustrated the Indian bowlers for nearly 70 minutes, and in

this interim, saw off the likes of Ishant Sharma (0-24), Umesh Yadav (0-12) and Shami (2-23) without much discomfort.

Part of it had to do with the fact that the Indian pacers were guilty of bowling too short, especially to the night watchman. Ishant as the leader of the attack was a disappointment in particular in this scenario as skipper Virat Kohli looked at him twice to bring about a dismissal. Shami was the one who troubled Bishoo the most, but couldn’t induce an edge despite going past the bat on many occasions.

At the other end, Brathwaite was happy to leave as many deliveries as possible, and he was helped by the wide deliveries bowled at him by the Indian pacers. When the spin came on, he looked to attack R Ashwin (0-22) and didn’t allow the lead spinner to settle down

at all, hitting him for boundaries in successive overs.

While only 29 runs had come in the first hour of play, the 50-mark for the West Indies had come up in the 24th over of the innings. Then the breakthrough finally came as Mishra (1-7) was introduced into the attack, and Bishoo was stumped going for a sweep shot.

Bravo (11) then came to the crease, and he looked solid there albeit only for a short while. Kohli changing around his bowlers too quickly perhaps helped him in this endeavour, particularly the pacers who all bowled short spells from the Sir Curtly Ambrose End. It seemed as if Bravo would be able to take the West Indies to lunch without any further loss, but he played at an outswinging delivery that he didn’t really need to, and ended up edging behind to keeper Saha.

Sports a great means of ntl integration: PM Bolt eases to victory, Harrison breaks world record

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacting with the children at the launch of the Reliance Foundation Youth Sports, via video conferencing on Saturday. (PTI) N E W DELH I , J UL 2 3 (IANS): Launching the Reliance Foundation Youth Sports (RFYS) initiative, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday urged the country’s youth to take up sports, which he feels can be a great means of national integration.

Modi digitally launched the initiative pan India, kicking off nation’s largest multicity, multi-sports school and college sports competition.

The initiative is in sync with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports’ vision ‘Khelo India’ to bring together a unified and professional system in India to develop sports, players and a sporting ecosystem.

“Sports must be a part of everyone’s lives,” a tweet from

the PMO read. “We are a large and diverse nation. Sports can be a great means of national integration,” another tweet read.

Modi insisted that young sportspersons should work hard to get success. “In order to be a good sportsperson, it is essential to be hardworking,” PMO said in another tweet.

“If you don’t play, you won’t shine. And never let defeat affect you so much.”

With the official launch, Reliance Foundation will invest in building a culture of sports in schools and colleges to unearth the vast and untapped talent in our education system. RFYS will promote and inculcate multi-discipline sports avenues among the

youths of India.

LONDON, Jul 23 (Agencies): Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt promised on Friday he will be physically ready for next month’s Rio Olympics -- on the night Kendra Harrison broke the 28year-old 100 metres hurdles world record.

Bolt, running at the track where he achieved the individual Olympic sprint double and the 4x100m relay for the second time four years ago in London, was the star attraction on day one of the Anniversary Games in front of 40,000 people at the Olympic stadium and he did not disappoint in the men’s 200m.

Brushing aside any concerns about the hamstring injury which forced him to withdraw from his country’s Olympic trials in Kingston earlier this month, Bolt ran a solid time of 19.89sec in his first competitive 200m of this season.

Panama’s Alonso Edward ran a season’s best of 20.04sec while Britain’s Adam Gemili produced a 2016 best of 20.07sec.

Bolt, who remains undefeated in this stadium in East London, is confident he can iron out any glitches with his cornering in his favourite discipline.

“I’m getting there. I am not fully in shape,” said the

“I need more work, but over time I will get there. I thought the cornering wasn’t perfect. But I am feeling good.

“At least I came here, ran the race and had no injuries. I am ready to defend my Olympic titles. The main thing is I am injury free. I always love competing here. It’s always a great fun at this stadium.”

For once, though, Bolt was not the best athletics performance of the night. That went instead to an American

who, incredibly, will not be running in Rio. Harrison has not been selected for the US Olympic team but she showed the selectors what they will be missing by lowering the 100m hurdles world record.

The mark of 12.21sec ran by Bulgarian Yordanka Donkova has stood since 1988 but Harrison went 0.01sec under that to earn himself a Diamond League bonus of $50,000.

“Not making the Olym-

pic Games was upsetting,” said Harrison.

“So, I wanted to come out here and show the world I still had it in me. I came out here with vengeance to show what I could do.”

Harrison beat the previous record of 12.21sec set by Bulgaria’s Yordanka Donkova back on August 20, 1988.

The 28-year-old, who spoke to US journalists in a conference call after her record-breaking run, admitted she let the cut-throat nature of

the US trials -- where only the top three finishers book Olympic berths -- get to her.

She went into the selection meeting as the fastest woman in the world this year -- already threatening Donkova’s world mark with a time of 12.24 at the Prefontaine Classic in May. But on the same Eugene track on July 8 she finished a disappointing sixth in the final, where 2013 world champion Brianna Rollins won ahead of Kristi Castlin and Nia Ali.

Indian hockey eves beat Canada in USA tour

Indian women’s hockey team defeated Canada 5-2 in the opener.

MANHEIM (PENNSYLVANIA), JUL 23 (IANS): India’s women’s hockey team thrashed Canada 5-2 to record their second victory in their United States tour here.

Vandana Katariya (ninth and 51st minutes) and Deepika (38th and 49th) scored a brace each and Poonam Rani netted

the fifth in the 58th minute of the match on Saturday.

Getting quickly off the block, India were dominant in the early exchanges, putting Canada on the defensive.

The Indian eves got a penalty corner early in the first quarter, but failed to convert it. Soon enough though, they

had the lead via Vandana’s field goal.

Off a second penalty corner soon after, Poonam’s deflected shot was saved by the defender on the post to prevent India doubling their lead. Canada came out with a penalty corner of their own but India defended strongly to prevent an equaliser and went into the break with the lead.

Canada came out quicker in the second quarter and scored the equaliser with Stephanie Norlander’s penalty corner conversion in the 17th minute. Over the course of the quarter, India stoically defended several of Canada’s penalty corners and ensured they went into half-time level at 1-1.

The two teams came out all guns blazing in the second half; Canada dominating the ball in midfield as India looked to play on the counter.

It was the latter’s tactics that worked, though. A quick press led to Deepika scoring their second to take the lead in the

38th minute. Canada equalised via a Brienne Stairs goal in the 42nd minute. With little time left in the third quarter, a host of chances fell to both sides with their respective goalkeepers put to the test.

Canada’s penalty corner was bravely denied by Savita in India’s goal, before an attempt

by Anuradha was denied by Kaitlyn Williams in Canada’s.

The teams went into the final break tied at 2-2.

In the final quarter India came out with renewed zest and were soon in the lead via Deepika’s second goal in the 49th minute. Two minutes later, Vandana doubled her tally with a field goal and extended India’s lead to 4-2.

Reeling from the double blow, Canada tried to string together some possession and take control of the game, but India never truly let them back in it. Poonam scored a fifth in the 58th minute to consolidate a second consecutive victory for India on the tour.
