armed forces, public servant, tribals, women and ordinary citizen in the nation-building process. “Young person who founds a start-up and becomes a job creator is a nation builder,” he said.

AAP unit ultimatum on CM DIMAPUR, JUL 25 (NPN): A day after the state chief minister, T.R. Zeliang, appealed for calm and assured to work towards all round development, the Aam Admi Party (AAP) Nagaland unit on Tuesday challenged the chief minister to undo the wrongs of the past years within 15 days.

In a press release, media cell, AAP Nagaland unit, said Zeliang was not a new leader for the Nagas to believe that he would bring peace, development and give basic rights to every Naga citizen.

“His poor former leadership is indicated everywhere in the State in every field like poor health center, poor road, poor administration of every school, secondary, college and university and others,” AAP said and urged Zeliang to abstain from making false statement for the sake of speech.

Fur ther, the par ty claimed that not a single district in the state has good bridge and good road. It also said that many towns had no street light, adding there were various loopholes prevailing as a proof of his poor leadership.

Describing Zeliang’s assurance as “extremely vague”, AAP maintained that it was “under the same leadership with the same promises for the past many years, Zeliang promulgated broken political party, broken community, tribalism, religious violence, fuel adulteration, food scam, killing of the innocent youth, and betrayal to the Church Association, boycotting internet service, water cannon upon the citizens seeking for justice and threatening justice seekers and so on.”

In this regard, AAP demanded that Zeliang build all the broken bridges throughout the state, build

Nine advisors and 26 parliamentary secretaries sworn in Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL 25 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on Tuesday completed the formation of his jumbo-sized ministry by inducting nine advisers and 26 parliamentary secretaries. Zeliang administered the oath of office and secrecy to the advisors and parliamentary secretaries at State Banquet Hall.

With this Zeliang has been able to accommodate all the 47 legislators. However, the question lies as to how Zeliang would distribute the portfolios in a jumbo-sized ministry to please all.

Talking to media persons after the swearing-in, the chief minister disclosed that the distribution of portfolios to the council of ministers and others would be done in a day or two.

Considering the fact that there are so many members with less vacancies, the portfolio distribution needs to be worked out properly, he added. He also disclosed that except senior legislators, not all advisors will be given the cabinet status.

On expulsion and suspension of MLAs, Zeliang said action initiated by the party was not according

issue show cause notice first and if the reply is not found satisfactory, the Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC) recommends to the party president for initiating disciplinary action.

Zeliang said since the action taken was arbitrary and not according to the NPF constitution, the MLAs have decided to demand resignation of the NPF president, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu. The issue was deliberated during the NPF legislature meeting on July 24, he added.

On the issue of NPF central taking the party whip issue to court, Zeliang said their intention was to get a stay order before the expansion of his ministry. How-

ever, the court did not allow it and rather fixed the next hearing for July 31, Zeliang said. Zeliang was optimistic that the petition will be dismissed, saying it does not hold any merit.

When asked whether he would seek to initiate any action against the 10 NPF MLAs who had voted against the whip issued by him during the July 21 floor test, Zeliang said the matter would be discussed during the NPF legislature party meeting.

However, citing the anti defection law, Zeliang said if any member defies the whip it will directly attract disqualification and that if anyone files petition before the speaker, they will

also face disqualification.

He further noted that as per rule, one can submit a petition only after 15 days.

Meanwhile, on MKR Pillai’s case, T.R. Zeliang said he would pursue the matter since the government had already instituted an Inquiry Commission. With regard to termination of Pillai’s service, which was yet to be made public, Zeliang said he is yet to see the file which has been under process. He said Pillai will not be allowed to continue service until investigation is completed.

Earlier, chief secretary, Pankaj Kumar initiated the oath taking ceremony which was witnessed by cabinet ministers, government officials and party workers.

link Aaadhaar with E-roll

DIMAPUR: Citing anomalies in the electoral roll, the Kiphire Tuensang Districts Sümi Students’ Union (KTDSSU) and Pungro Area College Students’ Union (PACSU) have appealed to the chief electoral officer (CEO) of Nagaland to link Aadhaar with electoral roll under Kiphire district “as per ECI notification” dated February 27, 2015.

It may be mentioned that following apprehension among the citizens that their names could be deleted from the electoral roll on the basis of non-furnishing of Aadhaar number, the ECI in a clarification dated May 22, 2015, stated that “furnishing of Aadhaar number is not mandatory; it is only optional and may be furnished voluntarily, as clarified by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

No electoral service will be denied to any elector on the ground of non-furnishing of Aadhaar number…

Similarly, non-furnishing of Aadhaar number will not be a ground for deletion of name of an existing elector from electoral roll.”

In a joint representa-

tion addressed to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Nagaland, the KTDSSU, Bothuka Yepthomi, and PACSU president, Rasuka Jacob, claimed that in almost all the villages under Kiphire district there was excess of electors. The two unions said they have observed on close scrutiny that there were multiple electorates using fictitious name with the same photo.

Photos of some electorates, the two unions said did not match with their age. They also claimed that some villages that were yet to be recognised already have polling station.

Further, citing various anomalies, the KTDSSU and PACSU requested the CEO to immediately link Aadhaar with electoral exclusively under Kiphire district within a month. Failing which, the two unions said they would have no option but file PIL in higher court for its judgement.

Guwahati, Jul 25 (Agencies): On a day when a seven-member interministerial team from New Delhi arrived in Assam to make an on-the-spot assessment of the damage caused by the floods, the BJP-led government of Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday sought Rs 2,393 crore assistance from the Centre to carry out repair work of various infrastructure, including major breaches caused by the Brahmaputra river and several of its tributaries.

“We have made our own preliminary assessment and submitted a detailed list of damage caused to infrastructure under various departments by the unprecedented floods. Of the Rs 2,939 crore that we have listed in our assessment, about Rs 1,800 crore would be required to repair and strengthen embankments and other flood control measures under the water resources alone,”

PM Modi displeased by BJP LS adjourned after Oppn uproar Army adequately equipped members’ absence from houses to defend country: Jaitley

US regulatory nod for Zydus drug to treat ulcer Ahmedabad, Jul 25 (IANS): Zydus Cadila on Tuesday said it has received final approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for its Mesalamine delayed-release tablets (800mg) to treat a bowel disease that causes inflammation in the digestive tract (ulcerative colitis).

“The drug will be manufactured in our formulation manufacturing plant at Moraiya near Ahmedabad,” a company statement said.

The company has received 27 final ANDA (Abbreviated New Drug Application) approvals and two tentative approvals from the USFDA since January.

“We have 130 regulatory approvals and filed 300 ANDAs since the filing process began in 2003-04,” said the statement.

Arun Jaitley out of 152 types of ammunition available, are good for less than 10 days of war. The army should ideally hold stocks of ammunition for 40 days of intense war.

The opposition, not satisfied with Jaitley’s clarification, posed some tough cross-questions to the government. Congress leader Anand Sharma was quick to ask Jaitley as to when the procedure was simplified, claiming that the decision in this regard had been take just a few days back.

“For three years nothing was done,” he said, alleging that there has been no full-time defence minister in the country with the earlier one, Manohar Parrikar, being a “non-performer”.

Deputy Chairman P J Kurien asked the Opposition to give a separate notice in case it wanted a discussion

on the subject. Earlier, SP’s Ramgopal Yadav, while raising the issue, pointed out that the CAG report on the shortage of arms and ammunition came amid tension on the borders with both China and Pakistan.

“Why don’t we have arms and ammunition to fight more than 10 days of war,” he asked. “The people are concerned. Please do whatever is needed to save the country.”

Ripun Bora (Cong) raised the issue through a Zero Hour mention, saying major decisions for procurement taken during 2009 and 2013 by the previous UPA government, have not been approved by the present government. A Rs 16,500 crore plan prepared by the defence ministry too has not yet been implemented, he said, adding the CAG had in its report pointed to “very bad condition of Indian Navy” with 38 accidents taking places in the last few years.

The safety organisation too has not been functional because of lack of approvals, he said.

Jaitley said the CAG report has 2013 as a reference point and there have been follow-ups.

Narendra Modi New Delhi, Jul 25 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed his displeasure over BJP members’ absence from the both Houses of Parliament leading to trouble or embarrassment for the government.

Modi’s remarks came here during weekly BJP parliamentary party meeting just after Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar and his junior Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi’s reference to incidents and problems arising out of lack of quorum.

In his response, the Prime Minister said that “he was worried and not satisfied with members’ percentage of presence in houses,” according to a BJP MP. The government had to face an embarrassing situation in the Rajya Sabha last week when a bill on jurisdiction and settlement of

Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia speaks in the Lok Sabha during the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament in New Delhi on Tuesday.

15 years.

As Congress members, including Scindia, Kantilal Bhuria, K C Venugopal and Ravneet Singh Bittu, rushed to the Well, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said she was trying to accommodate everyone by allowing them to ventilate their concerns.

However, members from the treasury benches also vociferously responded to the Congress charge, leading to a ruckus in the House.

This led Mahajan to warn the members that if any one of the officials or the Secretary General are harmed by mistake, then consequences would not be good.

Anguished over the unruly scenes, the Speaker said “if you are bent upon creating a ruckus, how will

the House run? I have told you to raise your concerns under the rules ...

Don’t try to teach me (how to run the House)”.

Kharge said the opposition also wants the House to function. He also accused Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar of trying to “pour petrol into the fire”.

As the din continued, Mahajan adjourned the House for the day.

Soon after the House had reassembled at 3 PM, the Speaker ordered the listed papers to be laid.

Earlier, the House was adjourned till 3.00 PM within minutes after it had assembled at 11 AM to allow members to participate in the swearingin ceremony of Ramnath Kovind as the 14th President of India.

Madras HC makes Vande Mataram mandatory C HE N NA I, J u l 25 (Agencies): Singing of Vande Mataram in schools, government offices, private entities and industries in Tamil Nadu has been made compulsory by the Madras high court. While schools must sing it at least once a week either on Monday or Friday, the national song must be crooned in offices once a month, said Justice M V Muralidharan on Tuesday.

Justice M V Muralidharan said that private and government schools in the state should ensure that their students sing the national song at least twice in a week, preferably on Monday and Friday. Noting that the song can also be played in other government and private establishments at least once in a month, the judge said, “If people feel it is difficult to sing the song in Bengali or in Sanskrit, steps can be taken to translate the song

in Tamil.”

NEW DELHI, Jul 25 ( Ag en c ie s ) : I n d i a n armed forces are “reasonably and sufficiently equipped” to defend the country, defence minister Arun Jaitley assured the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.

Jaitley was responding to concerns raised by opposition MPs regarding defence preparedness in the light of a CAG report, tabled last week, pointing to a shortfall of ammunition with the Indian Army, with the available stock barely enough to last 10 days in a state of war.

The defence minister replied that CAG’s findings on shortage of ammunition relate to a period of time, with 2013 being the reference year, and may not be relevant anymore.

“Subsequently...significant progress has been made,” he said adding that “procedures for (procurement of arms and ammunition) have been simplified, powers decentralised and the armed forces reasonably and sufficiently equipped”.

As per the CAG report, which covered the period April 2013 to September 2016, the army faces a shortfall of 40 per cent, that is 61

maritime claims could not be taken up due to lack of quorum. Modi also called upon the BJP MPs to observe fortnight programmes of Sankalp Yatra and hold Tiranga Yatra in their constituencies to celebrate 70th Independence Day. “The Prime Minister said that this year there will be nationwide celebrations starting from August 9 till August 15. After this, for 15 days a sankalp yatra will be conducted throughout the nation, pledging development of nation and every individual,” Parliamentary Affair Minister Ananth Kumar told reporters after the meeting.

“The Prime Minister also stated that from 1947 till now India reached new heights but till 2022 India will become a power to reckon with in the world,” he added. Ananth Kumar also said that the Prime Minister said that they have to change the lives of poor by three ways - by welfare, by social harmony and good governance.

Modi also said that Ram Nath Kovind taking oath as 14th President of India is a historic day in BJP’s journey, “started by Syama Prasad Mookerjee during which lakhs of people sacrificed their lives”, according to a BJP leader.

New Delhi, Jul 25 (PTI): The Lok Sabha was Tuesday adjourned for the day, virtually without transacting any substantial business, after Congress members created an uproar over a range of issues, including remarks made by certain BJP MPs against its leader Jyotiraditya Scindia and the revocation of suspension of six of its members.

Congress and opposition parties were also demanding a discussion on the lynching incidents in the country in the name of cow protection.

Scindia said BJP MPs Veerendra Kumar and Nandkumar Singh Chouhan had levelled certain allegations against him pertaining to the Dalit community.

He said if these remarks were found to be true, then he would quit as the member of the House and demanded that if the BJP leaders failed to prove their allegation, then they should tender their resignations.

“My image has been tarnished,” Kharge said.

Mallikarjun Kharge, the Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, defended Scindia and said the Guna MP has been fighting for the well-being of the Dalits in the House over the last

espite being the nation’s largest ever public transportation system, the Indian Railways has failed to deliver on efficiency, hygiene and amenities. As the fourth largest railway network in the world comprising 119,630 kilometres (74,330 mi) of total track with 7,216 stations at the end of 2015-16m, the Indian Railways has tremendous potential of becoming a profit making PSU giant However, despite all the potential, the Indian Railways appear to be insulated from the demands for a total revamp. The Indian Railways alone carried 8.107 billion passengers annually during 2015-16 or more than 22 million passengers a day and 1.101 billion tons of freight annually. In a damning report, the CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) has found the food served by the Railways in trains and at railway stations unsuitable for human consumption. Since the passengers travelling long distance trains like Rajdhani etc pay for food, they are forced to buy contaminated and recycled foodstuff at prices higher than those in the open market and often no bills are issued. In addition, packaged and bottled items past their shelf life are available for sale as also unauthorised brands of water bottles, indicating poor monitoring. The damning indictment of the Indian Railways was contained in a report based on the inspection by a joint team of CAG and railways. The joint team inspected 74 railway stations and 80 trains and in common, found utter lack of hygiene. The packaged food items are often reheated and not fresh. There is also lack of hygiene at catering units at stations and on trains. Railway pantries teem with cockroaches, rats and other insects. Often, rat droppings and dead cockroaches used to be found in food items. Frequent train travellers are not surprised by the damning report of the joint team. The Indian Railways has been notorious for lack of cleanliness and hygiene. The stations emit foul smell as human excreta, urine and dirty can be seen on the railway tracks. The ugly sight is enough to make some people sick. Even the train compartments are not properly cleaned after previous passengers detrained. Toilets basically are unhygienic and disgusting in all compartments but passengers have no choice. Though toilets are expected to be cleaned at every other station, the cleaners just flush out water and fill the tanks. Toilets and latrines are not brushed nor cleaned with disinfectants. The canteen team and their uniform stinks, the utensils used for serving beverages are dirty and worn out. It is better to carry one’s own water and biscuits rather than forced to eat unhygienic or contaminated food and fall sick. Even the linen issued on some of the trains seem to smell of starch while blankets are dirty and unwashed for days. As per rule, linen should be changed once a day. With mosquitoes, bed bugs, cockroaches and even rats giving company passengers can barely catch sleep. Current union railway minister Suresh Prabhu is trying his best to bring about major changes but the system itself is resistant to changes. It will be a great achievement if prime minister Narendra Modi also initiate actions to transform Indian Railways besides his dream of bullet trains.

DailyDevotion Am I Blessed Like This?

Blessed are… —Matthew 5:3-11 When we first read the statements of Jesus, they seem wonderfully simple and unstartling, and they sink unnoticed into our subconscious minds. For instance, the Beatitudes initially seem to be merely soothing and beautiful precepts for overly spiritual and seemingly useless people, but of very little practical use in the rigid, fast-paced workdays of the world in which we live. We soon find, however, that the Beatitudes contain the “dynamite” of the Holy Spirit.

And they “explode” when the circumstances of our lives cause them to do so. When the Holy Spirit brings to our remembrance one of the Beatitudes, we say, “What a startling statement that is!” Then we must decide whether or not we will accept the tremendous spiritual upheaval that will be produced in our circumstances if we obey His words. That is the way the Spirit of God works. We do not need to be born again to apply the Sermon on the Mount literally. The literal interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount is as easy as child’s play. But the interpretation by the Spirit of God as He applies our Lord’s statements to our circumstances is the strict and difficult work of a saint.

The teachings of Jesus are all out of proportion when compared to our natural way of looking at things, and they come to us initially with astonishing discomfort. We gradually have to conform our walk and conversation to the precepts of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit applies them to our circumstances. The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of rules and regulations— it is a picture of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His unhindered way with us.

The grape is sour

ad not NPF been rejected by BJP, the relationship would have remained and had not NPF thus provoked, its clandestine ties with BJP for the last 4 decades since 1977 would have been divulged for general consumption. And had the reactionary statements of NPF to BJP soon after severing ties contained sobriety, comment of this nature would not have been necessary. People believe that NPF’s alliance with BJP was of recent tie up after it changed its nomenclature to NPF. Yet, 40 years, from 1977 till 2017 is a long time. Whereas, NPF used to have the audacity to claim the regional identity all these years. I remember how the erstwhile UDF claimed to be the party that stood for Naga sovereignty movement and branded the erstwhile NNO which merged with Indian National Congress (INC) as anti-Naga sovereign. When I entered into State politics some 35 years ago, I came across many Nagas were hypnotised to believe that supporting the erstwhile NNDP was as good as standing for Naga Independence as though this regional party candidates never took oath for integrity and sovereignty of India under the Constitution of India to fight for Assembly seats. As the years rolled on, people started realizing that rules thus exist for election or for governance are for all the people belonging to regional party or national party to follow alike without exemption.

Meanwhile, after 40 years of association with BJP, the local papers carried the news about NPF’s

T

severing ties with BJP on 20.7.2017. Whereas, while NPF was struggling to save Dr. Shurozelie’s ministry, BJP, its 40 years ally, was offered even 2 cabinet posts and parliamentary secretary posts. Yet, BJP rejected the offer and preferred to stand for Chief Minister TR Zeliang. Only then the grape became sour. It is ironic for NPF to warn the Naga people to beware of BJP elements trying to ‘pierce the Trishul into the heart-land of Christ’.

Let me once again remind NPF what is BJP made of ? BJP is the political platform of Hinduism.

BJP survives by VHP, Bajrang Dal and RSS in particular. In the words of the famous columnist Kuldip Nayar, “If there was any iota of doubt about the links between RSS and BJP, PM Modi dispelled it.

He presented his key ministers to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and asked them to provide information on the working of their ministries.” –Nagaland Post 17.9.2015. Yet, NPF’s alliance with Hinduism party as BJP was not accidental but intentional and motivational.

In March 2010, Ram Nath Kovind, as BJP spokesman, vehemently opposed the inclusion of Muslim and Christian converts in the Scheduled Castes as recommended by Justice Ranganath Misra Commission. RN Kovind branded ‘Islam and Christianity are alien to India’ quoting from Morung Express dt. 21.6.2017.

Whereas, NPF had unanimous decision to vote for Ram Nath Kovind just the other day and made him the President of India.

In other words, you have

agreed with your candidate that we, the Christians, are alien to India.

Being the ally of BJP for 40 years up to 18th July 2017, NPF preferred to remain mute when Christian Calendars have been unconstitutionally infringed since 2014. What greater threat to the existence of Christianity when not allowed to celebrate Christmas and Good Friday peacefully in our own land? NPF refused to notice how Churches were vandalised, nuns raped, pastors and missionaries were persecuted by BJP workers. Even the tomb stones of Christians were not spared. The BJP workers hate not only the living Christians but even their death. Yet, NPF calls BJP as the ‘natural ally’ as published by Eastern Mirror 29.6.2017.

W h e n B J P G ov t . banned sale, purchase and slaughter of cow, secular people in Kerela sharply reacted. Followed by fellow Christians in Mizoram who held ‘Beef Ban Banking Banquet’ to welcome the visit of Union Home Minister Rajnath to Aizawl.

JV Hluna, President, BJP of Mizoram State challenged the beef ban saying that the Bible permits eating beef. Meghalaya State Govt. adequately reacted to all anti-Christian policies framed by BJP. What a farce was the NPF’s so called ‘beef feast’ at Kohima on 21.7.2017 which appeared in local dailies on 22.7.2017 immediately after severing ties with BJP? In fact, NPF had no disagreement with BJP’s policies except that the former was angered by the latter’s refusal to rescue the ship that sank.

It is simply pitiable to read NPF’s statement dated 20.7.2017 that ‘... all these years and playing host to the saffron party was successful in containing the agenda of the BJP in Nagaland.’ I am not convinced so. Rather the Trishul was pieced into the heart of NPF ministry and fatally injured it jointly by ‘Hereka boy’ and RSS Pracharak Governor. Also saying that ‘BJP has another thinking coming because its culture and mentality were alien to the Naga people’. Had BJP responded to the invitation of NPF and continue to be the ally in ruling or in opposition, will NPF ever come out with the above few truths about its natural ally? The just deposed CM Dr. Shurhozelie humbly admitted that ‘due to its alliance with BJP, the party on many occasion could not speak out the truth’.

He is indeed the face of NPF, and as the most elderly figure admitted compromise of its beliefs for the sake of relationship with the saffron party.

Though too late, such admission of fact befits the status of a Christian leader. Such dilution of the political principle is as not simple as one can admit and another can hear of; it is very serious because of its ramifications on our society. Whatever said and done, the credit should go to Dr. Shurhozelie who revoked the Rongmei recognition as a tribe in Nagaland. Similar credit should go to NPF for being the sponsor of BJP to have established its roots, the Hinduism root, in our small land called Nagaland for Christ.

he task of every policeman is to ensure safety to the public to the best of their ability. They heat of the day and the cold winter do not deplete their service. They bear such unpleasantweather to make our life pleasant and comfortable. They are the unrecognized treasures of the society.

Sometimes, the goodness of the policemen is taken for granted. Therefore, some policemen are used for personal works of the officers. The burdens of the officers are carried by unpretentious constables. During election, they are used like scarecrows by politicians. To be under the law is to close one’s mouth. They have less words to question or frame a sentence. Yet, they must be treated with respect and honour.

A simple constable might have left his family in the far flung village to serve the State. His service to the State is hardy recognized by people. Due to disproportionate work that is entrusted to them.

They die early death.

I am sure some of you must have some friends or relatives, brother or sister, or even son/ daughter in the police department.

We need to be proudof them and encourage the service they render to us. Our constant prayers and support will guide them towards good and faithful life.

Failure of encouragement and constant support both from the family and the department can lead them to wrong side of life. There are many cases where misfortune intrudes the life of the policemen and repentance takes place only on the death bed. It is a tragedy that many policemen die of alcohol and drugs. Before the sting of death comes, they sting themselves with death. Even before they reach half of life’s span, they grow old and weary.

Every day, we read in the local dailies that truck load of alcohol and thousands tablets of prohibited drugs are caught by the policedepartment in Nagaland.

The monthly or yearly collection would be unimaginable. Having a good eye on those items spoils

the life of the policeman. Yes, it is true that the eye does not know what the heart desires. Sometimes, it so happened that they catch and enjoy themselves from the free supply. I am sure they must be thanking God for such big catch of fish. Yet, it only kills them in few years.

Instead of catching the fish, the fish swallows them alive. What a painful death it is! May be some fishcan also be soldin the black market to make their life more secure. Nothing is impossible in Nagaland. Every policeman can become another Napoleon Bonaparte. The word ‘impossible’ is not found in Naga’s dictionary. That is why (a missing page) common sense is absent in many people.

I have come across young policeman almost breathing his last on his death bed. He agreed that many policemen (will) die of alcohol and drugs if they do not take care personally. Other causes are few. He married a pretty girl just to bring down tears upon her check every day. This type of policeman manages the family with the sad tune of cries and agonies.

Some homes become theatres where only live tragedy movies are shown and enacted. You must have come across handsome young boys who darkened his skin and flesh with heavy intake of alcohol. Most policemen are of dark complexion either because of hard work or hard drinks. Likewise, they travel in the same boat only to drown themselves at the young age. Death catches many young policemen in the pretext of duty.

My high School teacher who became Officer in Charge (OC) of a police department in a certain place left his goodness in the dustbin to be in constant touch with drinks and drugs. He goes for duty in the highestpossible spirit with his jawans to give better surprise to people by his heavenly spirit. Instead of bringing law and order, he brings disorder. I met him several times. But the meeting on the cold December night in the hospital was never to be forgotten. There was some accident in the town.

The patients were brought to the hospital. He came along with his jawans for further investigations.

His movements were unstable and slow and his face was dark enough together with the dark hours of evening.

The combination seems perfect. He was not fine enough to talk to. He pretended not to know me and I pretended to not know his state of mind. It was a twilight encounter. The young jawans were just made to obey in spite of his senseless behaviour. This is how alcohol and drugs destroy our Naga policemen. Many policemen will be heading for faster funeral ceremony to be performed on their dead body if they do not choose the better side of life. Are you a policeman? Be on your guard.

How many of you have lost your father, brother, son or friend in alcohol and drugs? They are dead and gone but the future path can be made clean by creating awareness among the Nagas. We are never too late to set things right. Let us not allow our young jawans to die early leaving their kids to grow without propershelter.

The young wife becomes widow before five to ten years of marriage life.The tears of the hearts are more painful than that of the eyes.

We should not make Nagaland a ‘Widow State’, a State without husband.

We all love and appreciate police personalswho are well disciplined and well cultured. Nagas do not lack such personals. Many Naga policemen are living the best exemplary life in the society.

Their families are kept in peace and happiness because of their good conduct. They become the source of joy to the family and society. They perform their duty with service and dedication. By this, they enhance the growth of Naga society.

We should all allow tr ue spirit of service andcommitment to soften our coarse mind and heart. This will open our inner eyes to see the horizon within and outside of us.

Why should we continue to suffer

society is the aggregate of people living together in an ordered community. More broadly, a society may be illustrated as an economic, social, industrial or cultural infrastructure made up a varied collection of individuals. The state on the other hand is responsible to those that have elected them to provide conditions that foster and facilitate security, prosperity, happiness and development of the people.

In the context of my Nagaland, an exceedingly dismal picture emerges. The two way symbiotic relationship between the people and the state has been affected due to the greed of few and no development.

Our land is blessed and offers wonderful opportunities. Instead what we have today is a state riddled with numbing corruption, apathy by the powers, a strange system of money collection by various factions, non existent infrastructure and lack of opportunities of employment for the youth. There are no industries to speak and our revenue is amongst the lowest. A journey along the pothole riddled National Highway linking the two major towns of Dimapur and Kohima is an exercise in acute agony. The roads in the interiors are even worse and in the current monsoons are not only acutely uncomfortable but pose a major safety hazard for travellers. The cartel of timber smugglers aided and abetted are steadily reducing the rich eco system of our Reserve Forests to barren wastelands. One should not be surprised if, within the next decade or so, our land will start witnessing droughts, landslides and other natural calamities.

If one talks of reasonable civic amenities then water supply and electricity are both, at the best of times erratic. In fact, large portions of our urban areas do not have access to piped potable water and people resort to randomly sink borewells which will have its own adverse impact on the ground water levels in a few years time. The sewage system in our towns is mostly non- existent. Take Dimapur for instance- we are happy to divert the filth and muck from our homes, shops and commercial establishments to flow into the Dhansiri River polluting it beyond redemption.

The over riding question is - who is responsible.

The answer is not difficult to find – ‘US’. We need to raise these issues and the unholy nexus needs to be exposed. We cannot continue to talk about pride, self determination and oppression while we continue to languish without any development as others march ahead. People cannot be permitted to play power musical chairs to serve their narrow and selfish ends. Those who pretend to represent us while lining their pockets need to be exposed. It must be remembered that we have the power to seek a better future for our progeny.

Reader’s Post Nobody wants democracy Sir,

The elected and the electorate have never been more apart than in the past six months. If anything, the recent political mess in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly highlights the lack of standard governance in the state. In these times, Naga people are asking where are the good roads, bridges, electricity, good hospitals and schools.

For the infighting of the legislators is like a malady upon the people and as a sick person promises to live well during recovery, so too, the electorate are reminded of their power to elect well during elections. In a way, this hurried government leads the way to easy questioning of ethics in governance and the role of governments as institutions for public welfare of its citizens are made apparent. The irony is that the more the newspapers print the political tussle, the more the public recall what should be the ideal duties of their elected officials. The play for personal power however imperative for our honourable legislators was unnecessary for the common man. It is the need of the hour for compassionate Naga leaders regardless of tribe or political party.

E. T. Ezung, senior Congress leader

What type of governance is prevalent for us Sir,

Our bridges are collapsing, road conditions are depleting , fuels are being adulterated, rice meant for the downtrodden are sold off, funds meant for developmental purposes are siphoned off into private accounts, teachers are not paid salaries..... the list goes on but the saddest part is that there is no one to own up and take responsibility.

There seems to be not an iota of accountability, transparency and responsibility in our governance system. It is just like enjoying the whole pie on rosy days and passing the bucks to others when tragedy strikes.

And the irony in the entire drama is that, every one wants to grab power and authority. Needless to say, the lust for power and authority has time and again been illustrated by our leaders in the recent past in full public glare.

This leads to the question - What type of governance is prevalent in our set up? What do we call a governance system where everyone wants power, seat and authority but no accountability and responsibility?

In recent memory there is no mention of such type of governance in our academic curriculum, the closest being a dictatorial form of governance.

Maybe it’s time some of our esteemed leaders enlighten the masses on our governance system and ‘broaden’ our horizons.

Delhi Police acquiring 35 sniffer dogs from Army currently 60 dogs are kept at two centres located in Model Town and Chanakyapuri areas. “But all of them are not fit for work round the clock. So we decided to raise their number.

T h i r u v anan thapuram, Jul 25 (IANS): Congress MLA M. Vincent, arrested on charges of sexually harassing and stalking a 51year-old woman in Kerala, on Tuesday said he was framed by CPI-M leaders.

“The CPI-M Thiruvananthapuram District Secretary and the Neyyattinkara CPI-M legislator are behind this frame-up,” Vincent told reporters after he was sent to a day’s police custody by a court here.

His bail plea would be heard on Wednesday.

“The conspiracy was hatched by these people and the former was in the hospital late in the night where the lady was hospitalized. The CCTV will reveal the truth. I have done no wrong at all,” he said.

The Congress and its United Democratic Front have extended support to the legislator on Tuesday saying he was a victim of political vendetta and

blamed the office of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for acting in undue haste.

“This is a politically motivated case and the UDF has decided that there is no reason for him to resign as a legislator,” UDF Convener P.P. Thankachan told reporters after a meeting with Congress leaders.

Vincent was arrested on Saturday and remanded to 14 days’ judicial custody.

The police on Tuesday demanded five days’ custody to question him and to collect evidence.

The woman he had allegedly harassed attempted suicide. This is the first time a legislator in Kerala has been arrested for sexual harassment.

“Majority of states were in favour of detention.

If one or two states do not want to, then they will do that under the federal structure,” Swarup said.

The current “no detention” provision under Right To Education (RTE) Act, prohibits schools from detaining or expelling any student up to Class 8.

“It does not mean you can’t take exams, it’s about detaining a student,” the official clarified in reference to the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (Amendment) Bill, 2017.

two to three dogs in each police district. This is less than the minimum requirement,” Bhagat told IANS. “We keep such dogs for eight years and after that we declare them retired.

We need more strength this time to manage the security of Delhi. Therefore, we sent a proposal to the Army to give Delhi Police 150 dogs more.

“They agreed to give us 100 dogs soon, out of which 35 trained dogs will be given within July from the Army Veterinary Corps,” said Bhagat, who is also incharge of the Delhi Police Dog Squad.

These dogs are also deployed at Delhi Metro stations, hotels and VVIP events.

“Delhi witnesses a number of VVIP programmes or mass activities on a daily basis, which can be targeted by anti-national elements,” the officer said.

New Delhi, Jul 25 (IANS): Delhi Police will add 35 sniffer and explosive detection dogs trained by the Indian Army within a month.

D isc l o sing this to IANS, Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajan Bhagat said these dogs would help police in tracking and solving crimes and finding evidences from crime spots.

The decision to add these dogs to the force was taken after back-to-back inputs by the Special Cell of Delhi Police of possible terror attacks in the national capital.

Even on Monday, the Special Cell issued an advisory about two terrorists trying to enter Delhi to execute terror attacks.

“Currently we have 60 sniffer and explosive detection dogs, comprising Labradors, German Shepherds and Cocker Spaniels. But we have a requirement for 150 dogs. At present, we have

India was fifth largest military spender in the world in 2016 at $55.9 billion, with its military expenditure growing around 8.5 per cent from the previous year.

The Army Vice Chief also noted that a large amount of China’s defence spending remains undeclared.

which suits China,” he said.

Chand also stressed that India needs to pay more attention to security.

“We have to pay much more attention to security that what we are doing now. India being at the center of the volatile region is the net security provider,” he added.

A stand-off is continuing between Indian and Chinese troops along the border in the Sikkim sector, after China attempted road construction in Bhutan’s territory around mid-June.

Both sides have reinforced troops and are maintaining position along the border, with no signs of a withdrawal soon.

Chand also slammed Pakistan for targeting a school building in cross border firing, adding that India would never do something like that. “ Pa k i s t a n s h e l l e d schools, it is not something we would do; when we retaliate we assure Pakistani military is targeted. It is unfortunate to see that they’ve stooped so low and caused casualty to the children,” he said.

New Delhi, Jul 25 (IANS): China is bound to be a threat to India in the years to come, Vice Chief of the Army (VCoA), Lt. Gen. Sarath Chand said on Tuesday as a stand-off between Indian and Chinese troops continues along the border in the Sikkim sector.

Addressing a joint seminar of the Army’s Master General Ordnance and Confederation of Indian Industry, Lt Gen Chand also slammed Pakistan for shelling a school.

Referring to China, he said: “On the North, we have China which has a large landmass, huge resources and a large standing army.... Despite having the Himalayas between us, China is bound to be a threat for us in the years ahead.” He also said that China was racing with the US in militarisation.

Mokokchung, Jul 25 (NPN): Mokokchung Entrepreneurs Consortium (MEC) Tuesday launched a new scheme for promotion of local women entrepreneurs in Mokokchung by extending microloan assistance. A total of 20 women entrepreneurs availed the microloan under the scheme. The newly launched scheme “La Catalyst” is an initiative of MEC and supported

by YouthNet Nagaland.

Chairman of MEC, Tsukti Longkumer encouraged the women entrepreneurs to work diligently and demonstrate business acumen by recovering the loan in time.

Pastor of Sungkomen Baptist Church Rev. O.Yashi also exhorted the beneficiaries.

MEC was formed in 2011 with the objective of promoting local young entrepreneurs in Mokokchung.

NEW DELHI, Jul 25 (Agencies): Stressed telecom companies may get relief on spectrum payments to the government with the inter-ministerial group (IMG) likely to allow delayed payments. The IMG may also offer lower interest rate (10.5% at present) on outstanding spectrum payments. The high-powered group has been set up for looking into woes of the sector.

According to sources, the telecom companies may now get 16 years to make spectrum payments instead of eight years at present.

This repayment period starts after a two-year moratorium following the initial downpayment.

However, the IMG has not touched the thorny issue of inter-connect charges (IUC) — where older operators such as Airtel, Vodafone and Idea are opposing Reliance Jio’s demand for a reduction. It feels that the issue should be decided by the regulator Trai. It is not yet clear whether IMG will provide telcos any relief

Steps have been taken to augment RBI’s machine processing capacity and efforts are afoot to complete the counting of notes “as soon as possible”, Jaitley added.

According to the finance minister, demonetisation has resulted in “several gains” and the I-T department between November 9 and January 10 has made more than 1,100 searches and surveys.

“These actions have led to the seizure of valuables of more than Rs 610 crore which included cash of Rs 513 crore. Seizure of cash in new currency notes was about Rs 110 crore.

The undisclosed income detected in these actions was more than Rs 5,400 crore,” Jaitley said.

“The key to the Green Revolution was the highyielding varieties of seeds.

It is time for us to return to that lesson and allow massive research into improving seed varieties including genetically modified ones.

“Elsewhere in the world, most notably the United States, GMO seeds have been in use for over two decades with no adverse effects on either other crops or those consuming the products of those seeds.

China has been far ahead of us in this regard. Our own experience with BT Cotton seeds has been a success,” the governmentthink said.

NEW DELHI, Jul 25 (PTI): The old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes are being reconciled and processed by the RBI for verifying numerical accuracy and authenticity and the progress is being closely monitored, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said today.

The government had demonetised old high denomination notes on November 8, 2016, and had given people time till December 30, 2016, to deposit the same in bank accounts.

The RBI has been entrusted with the job of counting the notes deposited post the cash recall.

In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha, Jaitley said the central bank is still completing the counting of specified bank notes (SBNs).

However, as per the revised GDP series, the economic growth in the country stood at 5.6 per cent and 6.6 per cent in the last two years of the UPA government.

Rather than projecting a single average growth rate over the five-year period, the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17) envisaged three scenarios -- strong inclusive growth, insufficient action and policy logjam.

The Plan pegged the average annual growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) under the three scenarios at 8 per cent, 6-6.5 per cent and 5-5.5 per cent, respectively.

New Delhi, Jul 25 (PTI): The actual performance of India’s economy during the last two years of the UPA government (2012 -13 and 2013-14) was worse than the ‘policy logjam’ scenario witnessed in the 12th Five Year Plan, Niti Aayog has said.

In its appraisal of the 12th Five Year Plan (201217), the Aayog said that when measured at factor cost, the real GDP growth under the old methodology turns out to be 4.5 per cent in 2012-13 and 4.7 per cent in 2013-14.

“Because the Twelfth Plan projections were based on the old series, it may be reasonably concluded that at least in 2012-13 and 2013-14, India has performed worse than the ‘policy logjam’ scenario,” the Aayog said in its appraisal document.

Trump calls Sessions ‘very weak’ on ‘Clinton crimes’

Attorney-General Jeff Sessions (R) was the first US senator to publicly endorse Donald Trump.

Washington, Jul 25 (IANS): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday continued his public criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, calling his appointed head of the Justice Department “very weak” on “Hillary Clinton crimes”.

“Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign -- ‘quietly working to boost Clinton.’ So where is the investigation A.G.,” Trump wrote in the first of several Tuesday morning tweets.

His latest Twitter onslaught came amid reports that Trump was consulting advisers about possibly firing the country’s top prosecutor, ABC News reported.

“Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!”

Trump said in another tweet.

Tr ump had earlier made it clear he was unhappy with Sessions for recusing himself from an FBI inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

“How do you take a job and then recuse yourself ?” Trump had told The New York Times. “If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said, ‘Thanks, Jeff, but I can’t, you know, I’m not going to take you’.”

Trump said that Sessions’ recusal was “extremely unfair, and that’s a mild word, to the President”.

The President’s new Communications Director A n t h o n y S c a r a mu c c i fanned speculation on Tuesday that Sessions’ days could be numbered.

When he was asked if Trump was thinking to fire Sessions, Scaramucci said: “If there’s this level of tension in the relationship that’s public, you’re probably right.”

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders also said that the President was “frustrated and disappointed” in Sessions.

“I know that (the President) is certainly frustrated and disappointed in the Attorney General for recusing himself,” Sanders said on “Fox and Friends.”

“He is continuing to move forward and focus on other things. But that frustration certainly hasn’t gone away, and I don’t think it will.”

When asked if Trump wants Sessions out as Attorney General, the spokeswoman said that is a “decision if the President wants to make, he cer tainly will.”

9 ‘We don’t care’ about US China asks US to Egypt tells European Union stop unfriendly no ‘compromise’ over Qatar travel ban: N Korea official military activities international

Pyongyang, Jul 25 (AFP): Washington’s ban on US citizens travelling to North Korea will have no effect on the country’s tourism industr y and Pyongyang does not care about it “at all”, a senior development official insisted Tuesday.

The measure is due to be enacted this week and once it goes into force US passports will no longer be valid for travel to the isolated country, which is subject to multiple sets of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear and missile programmes.

Around 5,000 Western tourists visit the North each year, tour companies say, with about 20 percent of them Americans. Standard one-week trips cost about USD 2,000.

But Han Chol-Su, vice-director of the Wonsan Zone Development Corporation, denied the loss of business would have any impact.

“If the US government says Americans cannot come to this country, we don’t care a bit,” he told AFP in Pyongyang.

Wa s h i n g t o n a n nounced the move after the death of Otto Warmbier, the University of Virginia student who was sentenced to 15 years’ hard labour in the North for trying to steal a propaganda poster.

That my son T. Jacob was apprehended by 32 AR on 18th July 2017 with Maruti Alto Car bearing No. NL05C/3121 along with arms and ammunition and the same had been published in the Nagaland Post and Eastern Mirror on 23rd July 2017 stating that my son is a resident of Virazouma Village, Dimapur.

This is for clarification that we are a resident of Kikhrüzha Colony Chumukedima and not Virazouma Village, which is regretful.

Warmbier was sent home in a mysterious coma last month -- Pyongyang said he had contracted botulism -- and died soon afterwards, prompting US President Donald Trump to denounce the “brutal regime”.

The State Department has long warned its citizens against travelling to North Korea, telling them they are “at serious risk of arrest and long-term detention under North Korea’s system of law enforcement”, which “imposes unduly harsh sentences for actions that would not be considered crimes in the United States”.

Showing disrespect to the country’s leaders and proselytising are among the actions that can be treated as crimes, the State Department warns, saying it is “entirely possible” that money spent by tourists in the North goes to fund its weapons programmes.

Han’s organisation is tr ying to promote the Wonsan-Mount Kumgang International Tourist Zone, a grandiose vision of a tourism-driven development hub on the east coast.

He said Washington’s move was politically motivated. “The US has been continuing with sanctions against us but we don’t care at all,” he said.

Beijing, Jul 25 (PTI): China on Tuesday defended the action of its fighter jets flying close to a US naval plane in the East China Sea, saying American aircraft coming near China’s border and carrying out reconnaissance has threatened China’s national security.

China’s Defence Ministry was responding to a report that the US Navy EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft had to take evasive action on Sunday after a Chinese J-10 warplane zoomed underneath it. The ministry said the action of its pilots was “legal, necessary and professional”. “The US military aircraft coming near China’s border and carrying out reconnaissance has threatened China’s national security, damaged Sino-US military air and sea safety, endangered the personal safety of both pilots,” it said in a statement. “The US side should immediately stop such unsafe, unprofessional and unfriendly dangerous military activities and take practical measures to add positive energy to the development of Sino-US military relations,” it said.

Reports from US quoting Pentagon as saying that the US Navy EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft had to take evasive action on Sunday after a Chinese J-10 warplane conducted sorties perilously close to it.

B RUSS E LS, J u l 2 5 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : E g y p t warned the EU on Tuesday that four Arab states would accept no compromise in their dispute with Qatar over allegations that the gas-rich emirate supports terrorism.

Fo r e i g n M i n i s t e r Sameh Shoukry, speaking after talks with European Union diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini in Brussels, said Qatar must accept in full the demands by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

“It is not an issue of compromise, we cannot compromise with any form of terrorism, we cannot compromise or enter into any form of negotiations,” Shoukry told a press conference.

“It is only once the necessary measures are undertaken by Qatar, that goes towards truly accepting to be a partner in the fight against terrorism, that this crisis will be resolved,” he said.

Shoukry said Qatar was “harbouring elements

associated to terrorist ideologies, to radical ideologies, that they have utilised their media outlets to promote and to justify and to glorify terrorist activity.”

The four Arab states have demanded that Qatar stop supporting the Muslim Brotherhood movement, end ties with their Shiite rival Iran, and close broadcaster Al-Jazeera which they accuse of inciting unrest in their countries.

But they face mounting international pressure to compromise in their weeksold boycott against Qatar, particularly from the United States.

Mogherini -- who at the weekend met Kuwait’s emir, a key figure involved in trying to mediate the crisis -- in turn reiterated calls for talks to resolve the crisis “We in Europe see this as a need not just for one country but for all countries,” she said, adding that the EU shared with Egypt a “clear commitment to fight terrorism”.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Glory be to God in the highest!

Through this column, we the undersigned on behalf of the pastor & church staff, church construction committee, board of deacons and members of the THAHEKHU VILLAGE BLOCK-7 BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP CHURCH would like to express our sincere and profound gratitude to those churches and individuals who have extended invaluable help in terms of cash, kind/materials and prayer support all through 2013–2017 for successful completion of the new church building and dedication which was held on 22nd July 2017.

“Our call to the ‘Constituent Assembly’ only seeks to unite the country ... Despacito!” go the new lyrics.

Luis Fonsi responded angrily on social media: “At no point was I asked, nor did I authorise, the use or the change in lyrics of Despacito for political means, and much less so in the middle of the deplorable situation experienced

T

he singers of global hit Despacito have lashed out against the Venezuelan president, accusing him of using their song for political gains.

President Nicolas Maduro presented an altered version during his weekly television show on Sunday.

The reworked lyrics promoted his plans for a controversial new citizen’s assembly, which will be elected on Sunday to rewrite the constitution.

Puerto Rican stars Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee branded it an outrage.

The president was seen clapping along to the remix, as his audience

out for their freedom,” he added.

Daddy Yankee posted a picture of Mr Maduro with a large red cross over it on Instagram.

“That you illegally appropriate a song [Despacito] does not compare with the crimes you commit and have committed in Venezuela,” he wrote.

“Your dictatorial regime is a joke, not only for my Venezuelan brothers, but for the entire world.”

Despacito translates as “slowly”, referring to the speed of the lead singer’s seduction technique.

However, the Venezuelan version strips back the sex.

Instead, the new chorus runs, “Slowly, take your vote rather than weapons, and express your ideas. Always in peace and calm.”

Introducing the new take to an audience of supporters, President Maduro said a creative group had reworked it and he wanted to put it to the test.

“What do you think, eh?” the grinning president asked the crowd.

Asked by ET Canada for his opinion on Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s T-shirt featuring Metallica’s “Kill ‘Em All” album cover with an Instagram image of Kylie placed on top, Hetfield said: “I guess what they were thinking is, ‘We can do whatever we want.’

To me, it’s disrespectful.

We’ve spent thirty-six years working hard, doing our best to keep a really close connection with people, make every note count, and someone just throws something up over something that we feel… Not that it’s sacred or anything, but show some respect.”

When the shirts launched on Kendall + Kylie, Ozzy’s wife and manager Sharon made it clear that the Jenners failed to reach out to the Black Sabbath singer to secure the legal rights to his image.

“Girls, you haven’t earned the right to put your face with musical icons.

etallica frontman James Hetfield has slammed Kylie and Kendall Jenner for selling “vintage” Tshirts with the pair’s faces superimposed over some of rock and rock’s biggest icons, including his band.

The T-shirts in question were unveiled on the sisters’ Kendall + Kylie online shop late last month, and featured images of Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Led Zeppelin and the late Notorious B.I.G. overlaid with Instagram shots of the model/reality star siblings.

The merchandise — which was being sold for $125 apiece and featured the logo “Repurposed in the USA” — did not go over well, and especially not with Voletta Wallace, mother of the late Christopher Wallace, the real name of Notorious B.I.G. She slammed the girls on Instagram, calling the shirts “disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!”

The reality TV stars quickly withdrew the shirt from sale, explaining in a statement: “These designs were not well thought out

2nd Death Anniversary LATE LIPOKLEMBA YADEN

NEW DELHI, Jul 25 (PTI): India will host its first WTA tournament in five years when the city of Mumbai stages a $125,000 event in November, giving home players an opportunity to compete with the world’s top-50. Yet again, it is Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA) which has come forward to bring the much-needed tournament to the country.

MSLTA had recently bagged the hosting rights of India’s ATP World Tour event, Chennai Open and it was re-branded as Maharashtra Open, to be held in Pune.

The last time India hosted a WTA event - Royal Indian Open - was in 2012 in Pune.

There will be four wild cards each on offer in main draw and the Qualifiers of the Mumbai Open. Top players in the country at that time are likely to get those wild card entries.

Bayern beat Chelsea in Singapore

James Rodriguez (left), who signed on loan from Real Madrid this summer, tackles Chelsea star N’Golo Kante from behind.

Singapore, Jul 25 (Agencies): Chelsea have suffered their first defeat of pre-season after Bayern Munich held on to record a 3-2 victory in their International Champions Cup fixture in Singapore.

Bayern stormed into a 3-0 lead after just 27 minutes and although Chelsea cut the deficit to just one thanks to goals from Marcos Alonso and Michy Batshuayi, they could not force an equaliser against their opponents, who are managed by their former boss Carlo

Ancelotti.

Chelsea started brightly in the second game of their tour of Asia but they fell behind after just six minutes when Rafinha drilled a 30yard strike into the net via the post.

It gave the Bundesliga side the platform they required to seize control of the contest and six minutes later, they doubled their advantage through Thomas Muller, who volleyed home at the back post after meeting James Rodriguez’s cross.

Rodriguez should have

made it three before the 20minute mark but he somehow fired over after being provided with an opportunity inside the box.

Chelsea were on the back foot and it got worse for Antonio Conte’s side on 27 minutes when Muller curled a delightful shot into the top corner from 25 yards.

A break in play allowed Conte to let his players know what he thought of them, and it had the desired effect as they dominated the closing stages of the first half.

I’m staying at Real Madrid: Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo, 32, has been summoned to appear before a judge near Madrid on July 31 to answer four counts of evading 14.7 million euros ($16.8 million) in taxes. The four-time Ballon d’Or winner has protested his innocence with O Globo saying he had threatened to leave Real over the investigation.

Since extending his contract last November until 2021, Ronaldo is the highest paid sports star in the world with $93 million (83m euro) in 2016-2017, according to Forbes magazine.

On Saturday Real manager Zinedine Zidane assured Real supporters that the superstar striker “was on holiday and would be back with us on (August) 5”.

Ronaldo has been given leave to miss the club’s pre-season US tour and Zidane, speaking in Los Angeles, insisted that he would be back at the club “on the fifth (of August) and I think he’ll stay for the next two or three years he’s got left with us.”

In Tuesday’s Marca interview Ronaldo also looked ahead to the 2018 World Cup with European champions Portugal. “We still have to qualify but I’m hoping that Portugal can win an incredible title.”

uayi and Gary Cahill all had chances before added-on time, but the Premier League side eventually got a goal back when Alonso met Victor Moses’s cross and lashed an effort past Tom Starke.

It took a while for anything significant to happen during a lacklustre start to the second half, but Bayern eventually regain their rhythm and looked like scoring at every given opportunity. Firstly, Marco Friedl set up Rodriguez who sent a header past the post, before Chelsea stopper Thibaut Courtois pulled off an excellent block when the Colombian was provided with an opening much closer to goal.

With 20 minutes remaining, Chelsea began to offer a response but they were not showing the same clinical touch as against Arsenal. However, with five minutes left, they finally moved to within one goal of levelling the match as Batshuayi scored from close range after debutant Alvaro Morata had flicked the ball into his path from a Cesc Fabregas corner.

Chelsea tried to push for an equaliser but Bayern were able to hold form as they overcame the disappointment of slipping up against both Arsenal and AC Milan by registering an impressive win over the English champions.

New Market FC in Kohima Football League Dimapur, Jul 25 (NPN): New Market FC, one of the oldest football clubs in Kohima, will be participating in the upcoming Kohima Football League 2017. The club will conquer the field with the motto- ‘Sauviter in Modo, Fortiter in re, Uno Animo’ meaning ‘gentle in manner, faithful in deed with one mind.’ The club popularly known as New Market XI started playing in 1977 by participating in Sir CR Pawsey Trophy.

Thereafter, New Market XI participated in every major tournament in the state.

Some of the tournaments participated by the club on regular basis are: Senior Soccer League (1980s), Royal Gold Cup (1988-2013), NSF Martyr’s Memorial Trophy (1990’s till date) and Classic Cup (1995 till date).

The club bagged the runners-up in the last Sir. CR Pawsey Trophy in 1982. Having won the cup twice, it is one of the most successful in Classic Cup. The club is also credited with Senior Soccer League title in 1994, Sekrenyu Football League title in 2006 and Peace Cup in 1998.

M A D RI D, J u l 2 5 (Agencies): Ending weeks of speculation about his future, Cristiano Ronaldo has told a Spanish newspaper he is staying put at Real Madrid to plunder more silverware.

“To win important trophies with my club and the personal honours last season was brilliant, to do it again would be nice,” Ronaldo told the sports daily Marca on Tuesday in

an interview from Shanghai. Ronaldo’s declaration of intent to remain at the Bernabeu for the upcoming season comes despite rumours of his departure which surfaced last month in Portuguese newspaper O Globo.

Those reports were founded on his apparent feeling of abandonment by his club over his run-in with the Spanish tax authorities.

Djokovic in doubt for US Open

SS Punglwa lifts east zone football trophy

T o ro n t o, J u l 2 5 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : N ova k Djokovic is a doubt for the US Open due to his elbow injury, according to quotes attributed to Serbia’s Davis Cup team doctor in the country’s media.

Djokovic retired hurt during the quarter-finals at Wimbledon and said he was considering taking a break from playing to recover from the long-standing injury to his right elbow.

Serbia’s Sportski Zurnal reported that the 30year-old could face up to 12 weeks on the sidelines.

“He has a bruised bone due to excessive playing,” it quoted Zdenko Milinkovic as saying.

The 12-times grand slam champion won the U.S. Open in 2011 and 2015. This year’s tournament begins on August 28.

India to host World Boxing Championships

New Delhi, Jul 25 (PTI): In a historic first for Indian boxing, the country will host the men’s World Championship for the first time in 2021 besides next year’s women’s World Championship, shaking off the last remnants of administrative turmoil that once plagued the sport.

AIBA made the groundbreaking announcement for India at the end of its two- day executive committee meeting in Moscow.

India has never conducted the men’s World Championship but has played host to the 2006 women’s mega-event. The major men’s boxing events hosted by India have been the 1990 World Cup in Mumbai and the 2010 Commonwealth Championships in New Delhi.

The development is quite significant given that India had a federation in place only last year after serving suspension and termination between 2012 and 2016 owing to administrative wrangling.

After analysing the presentations, the AIBA Executive Committee unanimously awarded the 2019 women’s World Championships to Trabzon, Turkey.

The AIBA 2018 Congress was awarded to the Russian capital city of Moscow.

Peaty breaks men’s 50m breaststroke world record BU DAPE S T, J u l 2 5 (Agencies): Britain’s Adam Peaty broke his own men’s 50m breaststroke world record on Tuesday in the heats of the world aquatic championships.

The 22-year-old clocked 26.10 seconds, lowering his own mark of 26.42 set two years ago in the semi-finals of the world champs in Kazan, Russia, on his way to winning the final.

Fresh from winning the men’s 100m breaststroke gold on Monday night, Peaty blasted out his world-record time to qualify for Tuesday night’s semi-finals.

“I wasn’t going for a world record, I was just trying to qualify for the semis,” said Peaty.

It is the third time he has held the 50m world record in his career.

His main rival in Wednesday’s final looks to be Cameron van der Burgh, who was only 0.44secs behind Peaty in the heats.

The South African was the joint record holder with Peaty before the Brit lowered his own time in Kazan.

Kevin Cordes of the United States, the 50m bronze medalist in 2015, and Brazil’s Joao Gomes were also within a sec-

ond of Peaty’s time in the heats.

“I saw Cam and Kevin going quite fast, obviously I was just trying to put a marker down, but I was quite relaxed,” said Peaty.

Van der Burgh, the 50m silver medalist two

years ago, was unimpressed with Peaty’s time.

“World records in heats don’t win finals,” said the South African.

“Now we know what he is capable of, we can go back and plan on going forward.”

Netherlands, Denmark enter women’s Euro qtrs DEVENTER, Jul 25 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : H o s t s Netherlands beat neighbours Belgium 2-1 to advance to the women’s Euro quarter-finals alongside Denmark, who edged 2013 runners-up Norway 1-0 in Group A on Monday.

In Tilburg, Sherida Spitse converted a penalty - her second in two games - in the 27th minute to put the Netherlands ahead after Maud Coutereels had brought down Jackie Groenen in the box.

Tessa Wullaert put Belgium level on 59 minutes with a high chip that caught out goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal.

But Lieke Martens helped the hosts keep their perfect record of three wins from as many games with a shot that was deflected by defender Heleen Jaques over keeper Justien Odeurs.

In Deventer, Denmark’s Katrine Veje scored on five minutes, blasting her shot past Norwegian keeper Ingrid Hjelmseth after being set up by skipper Pernille Harder.

Norway wasted a spotkick just before half-time as Danish keeper Stina Lykke Petersen kept out Caroline Graham Hansen’s shot following a foul on striker

Ada Hegerberg.

Denmark finished second on six points, ahead of Belgium with three and Norway - who had advanced to the knockout stages every time since 1997 - with zero points.

The Dutch were on the front foot for most of the match, with Martens firing over on 11 minutes.

Belgium, playing their first European Championship, could have levelled earlier but Janice Cayman flicked the ball just over after the break.

In the closing minutes, Davina Philtjens curled a free-kick over the Dutch

goal, Wullaert had a leftfooted strike tipped over by Van Veenendaal and Jaques saw her header cleared off the goalline.

Denmark pushed for a goal from the beginning, with Harder and Stine Larsen missing the target.

Norway g radually took over, but Guro Reiten drove her two shots over.

Denmark were more dangerous, with Hjelmseth stopping shots from Sanne Troelsgaard and Frederikke Thoegersen, while Nadia Nadim fluffed a chance and was then was denied by Hjelmseth after the break.

At the other end, Graham Hansen fired over and then hit the post with a cross-cum-shot five minutes from time, with Ingrid Wold’s rebound turned onto the bar by Petersen.

“This was a very tough match for us,” said Danish coach Nils Nielsen.

“The first half was ours and we created the chances we needed. In the second half we changed a little bit and Norway put a lot of pressure on us and maybe they should have scored but it just didn’t go in for them. We might have been a bit lucky but we were chasing the luck.”
