India asks Myanmar to act against NSCN (K)

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): India has asked Myanmar to act against four top leaders of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), including its chief S.S. Khaplang, accused of the ambush on an army convoy in Manipur in June last year in which 18 soldiers were killed, reports The Hindu.

The message was conveyed to a Myanmar delegation, led by Deputy Minister for Home Affairs Maj. Gen.Aung Soe. The team is on a two-day visit here. The stand is being seen as a climb-down as India had earlier requested Myanmar to hand over the top leadership of the outfit, stated the report.

After the Myanmarbased NSCN (K) abrogated the ceasefire agreement with the government in March 2015, it has launched a series of attacks on security forces in Nagaland, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh. After the Manipur ambush, the army’s special forces launched an attack on insurgent camps 20 km inside Myanmar last year and were believed to have killed at least 20 militants.

Besides Khaplang, the other NSCN (K) leaders against whom India has sought action are Niki Sumi, Kirichu and Asang. They are believed to have planned and supervised the ambush.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) registered a case and named NSCN (K) in the FIR. NIA said 23 NSCN (K) members participated in the

NSCN (K) absent from Mai Ja Yang Summit

MAI JA YANG, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): Four ethnic armed groups, including the NSCN (K), were noticeably absent from an ongoing ethnic armed group summit in Kachin State’s Mai Ja Yang.

In a run-up to the government’s upcoming peace conference, which is dubbed as the 21st Century Panglong Peace Conference, the leaders representing 17 ethnic armed groups (EAGs) are in Mai Ja Yang attending the four-day meeting, which began on July 26, to seek common ground in working toward federalism.

Other absentees included the United Wa State Army (UWSA)—the largest nonstate armed group in Myanmar—the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) and the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA).

According to The Irrawaddy, NSCN (K), an independent group with no alliance to other ethnic armed groups, has said that it would not attend the Union Peace Conference, which is scheduled for the end of August.

“The Wa cannot come and attend the 21-party plenary meeting as the meeting coincides with their appointment with the Union government and senior leaders. The Kokang, Palaung and Naga organisations did not inform us of the reasons for their

absence from the meeting.

Maybe they have some difficulties in attending,” Mizzima quoted spokesman for the plenary meeting organising committee, Padoh Kwe Htoo Win, as saying.

Despite the fact that the UWSA did not attend the event, its ally—the National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA), better known as Mongla Group—joined the summit as an observer. Also, the Arakan Army (AA)—a TNLA and MNDAA ally— was present.

“The TNLA and MNDAA wanted to attend but there were difficulties for the time being. Please forgive their absence. They will be present and cooperate in the next stages,” said Khu Oo Reh, chairman of the summit organizing committee, who is also secretary of the United Nationalities Federal Council (UNFC).

The AA, TNLA and MNDAA are all members of the UNFC—a coalition of nine ethnic armed groups who opted out of signing a nationwide ceasefire agreement (NCA) with the previous government in 2015. The UNFC has stuck to its all-inclusive policy regarding a ceasefire with the government, and opted out of signing the NCA because the former administration had not included the MNDAA, TNLA, and AA in the peace process.

attack, including the two who were killed. Of the remaining 21, it has identified 14.

Since India and Myanmar do not have an extradition treaty, India’s request to hand over the four leaders was revised this time. “We gave a list of insurgent camps as well as the names of the terrorists operating from Myanmar and have asked them [Myanmar] to take action against them.

There is no extradition treaty with Myanmar, so other options will have to be explored,” a senior official said.

The NSCN (K) has a ceasefire agreement with the Myanmar government. Khaplang, a Naga from Myanmar, was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Yangon till a few months ago. He is learnt to have shifted to his base in Taga, considered a haven for anti-India insurgent groups, in north-western Myanmar.

“At the meeting, security issues, including cooperation to check the activities of insurgent groups along the interna-

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (PTI): Central government employees and NGOs receiving government funds now need not declare their assets by the deadline of July 31 as Parliament on Thursday approved an amendment in the Lokpal Act to extend the timeline.

The amendment to Section 44 of the Lokpal Act was approved by voice vote by the Rajya Sabha today, a day after the Lok Sabha did the same.

While moving the bill to amend the Lokpal Act for consideration of the House, Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said it is an immediate necessity and the provision will be examined in detail by a Parliamentary Standing Committee which will possibly submit its report before next session of Parliament.

During a brief discussion, the Opposition asked the government to adopt this law without any dilution.

The ‘Naga Zone’ A part of western Myanmar is ‘part’ of Nagalim -Greater Nagaland-that Nagas lay claim to

tional border, drug trafficking, smuggling of arms and wildlife articles and exchange of intelligence, were discussed,” the Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement.

In April-May 1995, India and Myanmar had conducted a joint military operation– “Operation Golden Bird” – along the Mizoram border following the signing of the MoU for maintenance of peace and tranquility in border areas.

During the operation, they had intercepted and killed 38 insurgents who were moving through the Myanmar-Mizoram border towards Manipur with a consignment of weapons. The operation, however, was disrupted after Myanmar’s military rulers pulled out of the joint operation to protest India giving the Nehru Peace Prize to the Myanmar’s Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. In January 2006, India and Myanmar had conducted joint military operations inside Myanmar to flush out militants from the NSCN (K) group.

Naresh Agrawal of Samajwadi Party said he was opposed to the Lokpal Act as this is not good for democracy and constitution. “Can the country’s Prime Minister be dishonest and Lokpal be honest,” he asked.

Replying to the concerns raised by the members, Singh said: “There is no intention to dilute or to delay the Lokpal Act. The government is committed to implement this law in letter and spirit”.

He also said the message should not go out that members of this House have joined hands to prevent declaration of their assets.

“Under the People Representation Act, what we declare is more than enough, regardless of the fact that we have Lokpal Act or not,” Singh said, adding that exercise to amend this Act has been done in good faith and is only to extend the deadline with only two days left. It gives relief to 50 lakh govern-

ment employees.

The amendment pertains to Section 44 of the Lokpal Act which deals with declaration of assets and provision of making the assets public, he said.

As per the rules notified under the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act 2013, every public servant shall file declaration, information and annual returns pertaining to his assets and liabilities as well as for his spouse and dependent children on March 31 every year or on or before July 31 of that year.

In April, the government had extended the date of filing returns by public servants from April 15 to July 31. This is the fifth extension in the deadline since the Act came into force in January 2014.

As per rules, organisations receiving more than Rs 1 crore in government grants and donations above Rs 10 lakh from abroad fall under the ambit of Lokpal.

NPRAAF, parl secy Tourism meeting discuss issues

Govt to ask all doctors to prescribe generic medicines

The forum said it was also agreed that any deputation service sought by the department would be openly declared for competition and filled within one year from the date of utilizing that deputation service. Under this policy, NPRAAF said unemployed qualified youth would be benefitted.

The forum said it also agreed that “absorption along with post” and back door appointments in the department should be completely stopped and that there should be no further privatization of tourist lodges in the state. In line with the department’s service rule of 12 sanctioned posts of tourist officers, the forum said the parliamentary secretary “agreed to designate 12 senior tourist officers as district tourism officer”.

While acknowledging Apok’s sincerity and commitment towards transparent functioning of the department, NPRAAF said it will periodically monitor the “commitment” made by the parliamentary secretary in the interest of justice.

Apok clarifies: Parliamentary Secretary Tourism, C. Apok contacted Nagaland Post over the statement of NPRAAF to clarify that he had made no commitment about agreeing to all their demands. Apok said he appreciated the genuine grievances of NPRAAF and assured that he would sympathetically look into their demands.

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (IANS): The government is planning to modify the rules of the Medical Council of India to make it compulsory for all physicians to prescribe medicines with generic names, Chemical and Fertiliser Minister Ananth Kumar said today.

In response to a calling attention motion in the Rajya Sabha, the minister said the Ethics Committee Regulation of the Medical Council of India (MCI) is proposed to be modified to make prescribing generic medicines compulsory.

Under the amended regulation, “every physician should prescribe drugs with generic names legibly and preferably in capital letters and he/she shall ensure there is a rational prescription and use of drugs”.

The minister also said the issue has been taken up with the health ministry to make it mandatory for doctors to prescribe generic medicines and to allow pharmacists to substitute generic medicines for branded medicines. Ananth Kumar said availability of good quality medicines at reasonable price is a high priority area for the government and steps taken include bringing out a revised National List of Essential Medicines and inclusion of more medicines in the list.

“The price of medicines included in the NLEM have gone down in the recent past as a result of the downward trend in the wholesale price index,” the minister said.

DIMAPUR, JUL 28 (NPN): Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) had called on parliamentary secretary tourism, Apok C. Jamir at his office chambers in Kohima on July 27, and discussed on anomalous and irregular appointments in Tourism department including other issues.

NPRAAF information and publicity cell in a press release said that meeting with the parliamentary secretary was fruitful. During the meeting, NPRAAF said various points including increased in the sanctioned posts of tourist officers and its representation to the state government were also deliberated.

The forum said after a series of meetings with various department officials, NPRAAF and the parliamentary secretary “agreed on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)” proposed by the former. In the MoU, NPRAAF said it was agreed that all tourism infrastructures constructed would be handed over to the department within 45 days.

The two sides agreed that henceforth, all infrastructures lying unused owing “to unknown reasons” which were under the authority of certain individuals/landowners, and all clearance/utilization certificates of infrastructural development should be issued jointly by the Engineering Wing and the Tourist Officer concerned.

HepCoN laments lack of HCV diagnostic facilities in state Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL 28 (NPN): Expressing concern over the continuous rise in Hepatitis C infection, which is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), the Hepatitis Coalition of Nagaland (HepCoN) has lamented the lack of HCV testing and diagnostic facilities in the state.

Speaking at an event to commemorate “World Hepatitis Day 2016” at LCS building here Thursday, HepCoN secretary, Ketho, also pointed out that there was no proper data source to project the real face of HCV burden in the state.

In spite of new developments in the world of science, Ketho said cases of HCV related deaths have been reported and people continued to die of a preventable and curable disease due to lack of awareness and high treatment cost in the state.

The event organized by HepCoN, NUN, Kripa Foundation, NNP+ and NSACS on the theme “Elimination” was

Scientists find new antibiotic in human nose WA S H I N G T O N, J U L 2 8 (AGENCIES): Scientists have discovered a bacterium living inside the human nose that produces an antibiotic capable of killing one of the most hard-to-treat pathogens — a pathogen that causes serious, even deadly skin and wound infections, bloodstream infections and pneumonia.

German researchers found that this antibacterial substance was effective in treating skin infections in mice caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, according to a study published Wednesday in Nature. The scientists said the substance, which they named lugdunin, has potent antimicrobial effects against a wide range of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus bacteria.

The number of MRSA infections is among the highest of all antibiotic-resistant threats. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates more than 80,000 invasive MRSA infections and more than 11,000 related deaths occurred in 2011, the last year for which data is available.

The scientists said their find

represents the first known example of a new class of antibiotics.

That’s particularly welcome news given the urgent global problem of antibiotic-resistant superbugs and the dwindling arsenal of drugs to replace ones that no longer work.

Until now, conventional antibiotic discovery has focused on looking for compounds from bacteria living in dirt. But identifying novel compound structures from soil microbes has been getting harder. The new research, from Andreas Peschel and colleagues at the University of Tübingen, suggests that the immense variety of microorganisms living in the human body, particularly in the nose, may be a potential source of new antibiotics.

“These organisms, or the antibiotics they produce, might serve as drug-discovery leads,” Kim Lewis of Northeastern University in Boston wrote in an accompanying commentary. Lewis, who was not involved in the study, directs Northeastern’s Antimicrobial Discovery Center and was part of the team that last year identified teixobactin, a new class of antibiotic in dirt that fights bacteria in a way that prevents bacteria from becoming resistant to it.

The German researchers said lugdunin also is not prone to causing S. aureus to develop resistance.

They are not exactly sure how it works, and clinical development is many years away and will require partners from the pharmaceutical industry, they said.

It’s possible that lugdunin disrupts the target bacteria’s cell membranes, but that could also make it harder to develop as a drug for injection because of its potential for also disrupting animal membranes, Lewis wrote.

Asked during a media briefing Tuesday why others had not looked within the human microbiome for similar leads, Peschel said that perhaps they looked in the wrong places. “Or maybe we are just lucky,” he said.

Bacteria that live in the human body number more than a thousand species. Many compete for space and nutrients. Perhaps the pathogen residing in the nose developed the mechanism to produce an antibiotic that knocks out other bacterial species, allowing it to survive in a “nutrient-poor” environment filled with “soggy fluids,” Peschel said.

Microbiologist Richard Novick of the New York Univer-

sity School of Medicine, who is one of the leading experts on S. aureus and was not involved in the latest research, called the findings “enormously interesting.”

It’s long been known that bacteria make compounds — called bacteriacin — that attack or inhibit other bacteria in such places as the human intestine, he said.

“But no one thought about bacterial warfare in the nose,” Novick said. “That’s novel.”

This nostril-dwelling bacterium is also a species of Staphylococcus bacteria called S. lugdunensis. It’s a nasty pathogen in its own right. While the compound it produces “may be fantastic,” Novick said, “you wouldn’t want to colonize people with Staph lugdunensis because it causes lots of infections.”

The German researchers examined nasal swabs from 187 hospitalized patients and found that of the people who carried S. lugdunensis, only about 6 percent also carried S. aureus, compared with 34 percent in individuals without the nasal bacteria. Those differences are evidence that bacteria in the nose help keep S. aureus at bay, according to the study.

Participants of the ‘World Hepatitis Day 2016’ in Kohima. (NP)

simultaneously held in Wokha, Mokokchung, Tuensang, Kiphire, Phek and Satakha.

Ketho said HepCoN was advocating for price reduction of medicine for HCV and free testing. He alleged that some private hospitals were exploiting patients by charging exorbitant rates for testing of HCV and medicines. HepCoN secretary said that since most patients were injecting drug users, high rates of treatment bore financial burden.

A was also adopted to urge the government to initi-

ate a state surveillance system through the health department/IDSP. Besides, asking the government to regulate Hepatitis C treatment price, the resolution also urged the government to ensure availability of Hepatitis diagnostic facilities and treatment drugs in all Public Health facilities.

Further, it asked the government to put thrust on IEC services for viral Hepatitis and also appealed to the government to introduce government Health Scheme for treatment of HCV.

ILP stir: 4 students hurt in NSCBEU to join police-protestors clash bank strike Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jul 28: At least four students, including a girl sustained injuries in a clash between police and protestors during a protest rally on Thursday demanding introduction of Inner Line Permit System (ILPS) in Manipur and roll back of “wanted tag” on head of former JCILPS convener Kh Ratan.

Hundreds of students from various schools took out a rally along the NH-2 at Singjamei area.

The police stopped the protestors at the super market area of Singjamei to allow normal traffic, following which a clash erupted.

As some students started pelting stones, police used tear gas shells and smoke bombs to disperse them. “Recent occurrence of unpleasant incidents where tribal students of higher secondary schools in Imphal were forced to take part in rallies by the student unions is strongly condemnable,” the KSO, Imphal in a statement signed by its general secretary Khaiminlen Doungel stated.

The statement further alleged that tribal girl students who refused to participate in rallies were assaulted. In addition to this, tribal students who refused to partake in the rallies were locked up in their own classrooms day long.

“The students were physically abused and subjected to unimaginable ordeals inside the schools,” it went on to allege.

“It is imperative that they should respect the rights, views and opinions of the tribal students with respect to the bills, if we are for the unity and integrity of the state,” the KSO added.

DIMAPUR, JUL 28 (NPN): Nagaland State Cooperative Bank Employees’ Union (NSCBEU) on Thursday at an emergency meeting of its executive committee has resolved to participate in the proposed all India bank strike on July 29, 2016.

In a press release, State Cooperative Bank Employees’ Union assistant general secretary Joshua Swu, however, said that it was subject to withdrawal from the proposed strike in the event of sudden call-off at the national level by United Forum of Bank Union (UFBU).

The strike has been called to oppose the move of the government towards privatisation of public sector banks and against the proposed “anti labour amendments” to labour laws. The union is also demanding stringent action against wilful defaulters towards recovery of NPAs. Meanwhile, NSCBEU has requested customers of the bank to bear with the union in the event of the strike.

8 baby rhinos saved from flooded Kaziranga GUWAHATI, JUL 28 (PTI): Eight rhino calves from Assam’s Kaziranga National Park, who were swept away in the floods, have been safely rescued so far, officials said on Thursday.

A team of Assam forest department and a mobile veterinary service team from the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) have rescued eight baby rhinos aged between one month and a year in the last 2-3 days.

Rathin Barman, Deputy Director of Wildlife Trust of India, which runs the CWRC, said everyday they are coming across distressed calves of the famed one-horn rhinoceros in the flooded Brahmaputra.

Two of them were rescued during the day as field staff used boats to reach them and pull them out using ropes.

“They were found separated from their mothers after being washed away in the floods. We have rescued them and they are under treatment at our veterinary centre which is 5 km away from the main gate of the park,” Barman told PTI.

Led by Barman, a team of over a dozen workers, besides forest department officials, has been trying to rescue the wild animals displaced in the floods.

“Some of them are in a critical condition because they were about to get drowned before we saved them. They are also suffering from severe trauma of the floods. We are hopeful that all of them will be fine very soon,” he said.

Adult rhinos usually try to escape to the Karbi Anglong hills on the southern side of Kaziranga which does not get submerged during floods.

Located on the floodplains of the Brahmaputra River, Kaziranga National Park, one of India’s UNESCO world heritage sites, is facing a major wildlife crisis this year as large portions of its area have been inundated in what are being described as the worst floods in a decade.

The rescue team have also saved about 50 hog deer who live in the Kaziranga and nearby forests.

Govt to invest Rs 4,000 cr in road projects in Tripura NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (PTI): The government plans to pump in around Rs 4,000 crore in road projects in Tripura through PWD and the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL).

The state has 853 km of national highways, of which 731 km are with the state PWD and 122 km with NHIDCL, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways said in a statement.

Four projects are currently on in the state, with a total length of 147 km and total project cost of Rs 1,162 crore.

One project with a length of 24 km and total project cost of Rs 42 crore is likely to be awarded in next three months, and another three projects with a length of 110 km and cost of Rs 470 crore are under DPR and various stages of award.

These are likely to be awarded in the next one year, it added.

Innovative method of Maths teaching in M’laya SHILLONG, JUL 28 (PTI): An innovative method of teaching Maths in the foundation classes in Meghalaya has made ‘Maths phobia’ a thing of the past and transformed the subject into a fun-filled activity for learners.

With the state government roping in an NGO three years ago to address the problem, innovative teaching methods have been taken up at the primary level and the results are encouraging.

At present, over a lakh students in primary and secondary schools across the state are benefitting from the project that incorporates stories, colours, shapes and songs

in the process, state director of School Education and Literacy Ambrose Ch Marak told PTI. He said there has been an improvement in the quality of mathematics education in primary classes and the results are encouraging.

The phobia that used to affect many has now undergone a change following the government roped in the NGO, ‘Jodo Gyan’, three years ago to help solve the problem, he said.

The NGO, which has trained teachers from over 4,000 government and government-aided schools in the state, discourages the use of the traditional ‘chalk and talk’

method, a representative of the NGO said.

Rather, it stresses on the interactive method that allows a child to learn while playing, she said. A visit to one of the beneficiary schools under Mawkynrew Community and Rural Development block, considered to be one of the most backward areas in the state, gave an idea about the interest it has kindled among the students.

Rahul targets PM over price rise arun JAITLEY counters Rahul, says bluster no match to statistics

Rahul Gandhi He also alleged that NDA’s flagship programmes like Make in India and Stand Up India had failed as they could not generate jobs for the youths. Repeatedly directing his tirade against the Prime Minister, Gandhi referred to the BJP’s popular election slogan then -- ‘Har Har Modi’ and said now the people are reaping its harvest by saying ‘Arhar Modi’ -- a reference to growing prices of pulses, including Arhar dal.

“You had made a good speech then. But now that you are the Prime Minister, we want to ask you one question... why the prices have not come down,” Gandhi said.

Gandhi claimed that compared to 2014, prices of certain essential items have gone up by anything between 100 per cent and 300 per cent.

“There is a huge gap between the market price and the minimum support price,” something not seen during the Congress-led UPA rule, Gandhi said. Further reminding the

KANPUR, JUL 28 (AGENCIES): An upper-caste shopkeeper hacked a Dalit couple to death on Thursday after they failed to clear a debt of Rs 15 in Uttar Pradesh’s Mainpuri, considered the political fiefdom of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.

The incident comes against the backdrop of a series of attacks on lower caste people across the country and could spark a political backlash against the ruling SP in the poll-bound state where Dalits form a sizeable portion of the electorate. Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati, who champions the cause of lower castes, has been vitriolic in her attack on the ruling BJP at the Centre over the rising incidents of atrocities on Dalits.

Fearing law and order trouble after the killing of the couple, the administration deployed personnel of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) in Lakhimpur village. Police quickly arrested the accused, identified as Ashok Mishra, from his house and slapped charges under the stringent the SC/ST Act. The five children of the couple -- Bharat Nat, 45, and Mamta, 40 – were placed under the custody of one of their neighbours for the time being, officials said. Eyewitnesses said Mishra, said to be in his sixties, picked up an axe and attacked the couple who owed him Rs 15.

The couple worked as daily wagers and used to buy groceries from the shop of the accused.

“The heads of both of them were severed; the man’s body

had nine wounds and woman’s seven,” said a police officer who visited the incident spot.

Mainpuri is represented in the Lok Sabha by Tej Pratap Yadav, the grand-nephew of Mulayam Singh. Assembly elections are due in the state early next year and the SP faces a tough challenge from the BSP and BJP, both of which are making serious efforts to grab power in the country’s most populous state. Mayawati, a four-time chief minister, is citing alleged atrocities on Dalit and other lower caste people to rally her voters ahead of polls.

Prime Minister of his election speech in Uttar Pradesh in 2014 -- when Modi had said he wanted to be a “chowkidar (guard)” for the country and not the Prime Minister, Gandhi said the task of safe-guarding interests of poor people now should be “left to the Congress”.

Gandhi lamented that today a huge quantity of pulses are being looted under Modi as the “guard”.

“During elections, Modiji had said ‘make me a chowkidar’ (guard). Now, there is a theft of dal under the very nose of the chowkidar,” Gandhi said.

“Now you are the Prime Minister... you have become a big man. Why should you be a chowkidar too? Leave that duty to us, the Congress party,” Gandhi said amid strong protests from the BJP members.

The Congress leader said in 2014, the price of tomatoes was Rs 18 a kg, which has shot up to Rs 55 in 2016. Urad and tur dals, priced around Rs 70 in February 2014, have now gone up to Rs 160 and Rs 180 this month.

He said there was a gap between the minimum support price of Rs 45 a kg given to the farmers for tur dal, and its price in the market at Rs 75 a kg.

Now, the MSP has risen to Rs 50, but the price of the pulses have gone up to Rs 180 a kg, Gandhi said.

“So there is a gap of Rs 130 under the NDA government. Where is this Rs 100 going,” he wanted to know.

Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi,Finance Minister Arun Jaitley reeled out statistics in Lok Sabha to assert that the NDA government had brought down inflation and expressed hope that prices of essential commodities will come down further after a “good” monsoon.

After Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and alleged that the government had failed to control prices, particularly of the essential commodities, Jaitley contendedthat the NDA government had inherited high inflation from the UPA dispensation.

“Any form of bluster is not substitute of statistics,” he told the Congress Vice President while intervening in a debate on price rise and asked him to compare the status of inflation during the UPA government and that prevailing now.

Referring to Gandhi’s attack on Modi for criticising the then Congress-led government over inflation in February 2014, Jaitley said, “This is a topic of statistics and not sloganeering. The UPA had left government in a serious state and it is but natural that any contesting candidate before election would say that if I come to power, I will try to bring inflation down. No one should have any objection to that.”

Major secretary-level reshuffle; Aruna Sharma new Steel Secy

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (PTI): Tamil Nadu government has moved the Supreme Court seeking review of its judgement in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case in which it was ruled that the Centre has “primacy” over states’ right to grant remission.

The petition sought review of the apex court’s verdict in December last year virtually overturning the State government’s clemency decision.

A five-judge bench had said the State governments must secure “concurrence” of the Union government before freeing convicts in certain cases.

The review petition said as per the Criminal Procedure Code, the central government had no primacy in matters relating to remission or commutation of sentence and that it was “erroneous” on the part of apex court bench to hold that Centre had a “special status” under the constitutional scheme.

The court, which had settled questions arising out of Tamil Nadu government’s decision to free Gandhi’s assassins, had dealt elaborately with the situations where the Centre will prevail over states’ decision to grant remission which included cases where their powers are co-extensive, where trial has been held under central laws or conducted by agencies like CBI, or when they pertain to death penalty.

The Constitution bench had said states cannot exercise “suo motu” the power to grant remission without any specific plea from the convicts.

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (PTI): Senior IAS officer Aruna Sharma has been appointed as Steel Secretary as part of a major top-level bureaucratic reshuffle effected on Thursday by the government.

A total of 15 new Secretaries have been appointed in various central government ministries.

The portfolios of Sharma and Aruna Sundararajan, who is Steel Secretary, have been swapped. Aruna Sharma will now be Steel Secretary and Sundarajan will be Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, an order issued

by Department of Personnel and Training said.

Both are 1982 batch IAS officers. BK Prasad, who conducted an inquiry into the missing files relating to alleged fake encounter of Ishrat Jahan, has been appointed as Secretary, National Commission for Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-nomadic Tribes for two years.

Prasad was given twomonth extension, till this month-end, beyond his superannuation. He was due to retire on May 31.

Gujarat-cadre IAS officer Amarjit Singh has been named as new Secretary Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation. He will take over as Officer on Special Duty in the same ministry with immediate effect, it said.

Singh, who is presently Special Secretary in the Ministry, would take over as Sec-

India needs 50 judges per mn people: Law panel

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (PTI): Law Commission has reviewed the criteria of judge-population ratio for determining the number of judges needed which the Chief Justice of India had cited to say that India needed 50 judges per million people, the government said in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

In the presence of the Prime Minister on April 24, CJI TS Thakur had lamented the government’s “inaction” in increasing the number of judges from the present 21,000 to 40,000 to handle the “avalanche” of litigations, saying, “You cannot shift the entire

burden on the judiciary”.

He had said “nothing has moved” since 1987 when the Law Commission had recommended increase in the number of judges from 10 judges per 10 lakh people to 50.

Minister of State for Law P P Chaudhary said at the inauguration of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices Conference here in April, the CJI had cited the 120th report of the Law Commission brought out in 1987 for increasing the ratio of judges per million of population to 50.

“However, the criteria of the judge-population ratio for

determining the adequacy of the judge strength in the country has been reviewed by the Law Commission in its 245th report (submitted in 2014) prepared on the directions of the Supreme Court,” he said in a written reply.

The apex cour t had asked the law panel to evolve a method for scientific assessment of the number of additional courts to clear the backlog of cases.

“In the 245th report, the Law Commission has observed that filing of cases per capita varies substantially across geographic units as filings are associated with eco-

nomic and social conditions of population. As such, the Commission did not consider the judge-population ratio to be a scientific criterion for determining the adequacy of the judge strength in the country,” the minister said.

The Commission had found that in the absence of complete and scientific approach to data collection across various high courts, the ‘rate of disposal’ method to calculate the number of additional judges required to clear the backlog as well as to ensure that the new backlog is not created, is more pragmatic and useful, Chaudhary said.

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (IANS/ pti): Targeting the government over rise in prices of essential commodities, Congress VicePresident Rahul Gandhi on Thursday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to announce a date by which the prices would come down.

In a brief speech at the Lok Sabha, Gandhi reminded the Prime Minster of his promises in the run-up to the 2014 general elections and said in the last two years Modi made “hollow promises” to the people.

The Congress Vice-President referred to Modi’s speech at an election rally in Himachal Pradesh in February 2014 wherein he had said, “Ma, bachche raat raat rote hain, aasoon pee ke sote hain” (mothers and children cry the whole night and sleep swallowing their tears).

“What a dialogue,” Gandhi exclaimed sarcastically, slamming Modi, who was not present in the house.

“I want to remind the Prime Minister of the promises he made that when the BJP government comes to power, it will bring down the prices,” Gandhi said.

“Modiji, jitne khokhle vaade karne hai kariye... Stand Up India, Make in India. Par is house ko ek tareekh de dijiye jab market mein daam kam ho jayenge (Modiji, make as many empty promises as you want...

Stand Up India, Make in India.

But please announce a date in this house when the prices will come down),” Gandhi said.

Capitalist democracy

B

y general sense and expectations, the Republican party in America should be in a position to retake the White House after November 4,2016 after having been occupied two consecutive terms by Democrat incumbent Barack Obama.

However, things don’t seem as expected as the Republicans have not exactly buried their differences and sing the tune of unity under its nominee Donald Trump. Donald Trump may not be the best candidate even as Democrat Hillary Clinton may also not be the best candidate for the people; but when one is the official nominee, it is expected that the party will even grudgingly come together after the gruelling and bruising primaries. Donald Trump won the primaries through grit, determination and ability to make voters listen and think. His messages many have sounded divisive, polarising or sexist but they came out as brutally frank unlike the liberalist ideologies of the Democrats which are cleverly camouflaged in flowery phrases and long but vague superlatives. If the Republicans have unified, at least superficially, the Democrats too have not wholeheartedly embraced Hillary Clinton. A large number of Democrats feel that the party establishment has cheated Bernie Sanders of a possible ticket to the White House by conspiring to ensure that Hillary got through. When Bernie Sanders criticised Super Political Affairs Committees (PACs) for donating millions to Hillary. These PACs are independent expenditureonly committees, who may raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums to overtly advocate for or against political candidates. Bernie Sanders also hit out at Wall Street for backing Hillary Clinton with billions of dollars in campaign funds.

The collective name for the financial and investment community, which includes stock exchanges and large banks, brokerages, securities and underwriting firms, and big businesses. The allegations against Hillary Clinton was solidified by Wikileaks when over 20,000 emails were put on social media to expose the inner conspiracy by the Democratic National Convention(DNC) to stop Bernie Sanders from getting the required delegate votes for nomination. The DNC had already ‘fixed’ or ‘sealed’ state delegates even before primaries were over, in favour of Hillary. Emails released showed members of the DNC trading ideas for how to undercut the campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders. Hackers have released a trove of 20,000 emails stolen from the servers of the Democratic National Committee. It is a fact that both Hillary and Bill Clinton have built a very big influence within the party including with big business houses and party establishments. This can be gauged from the fact, that Hillary continued to lie to house committee that she turned over all emails to the State Department. It was found she had not accounted for many missing emails classified as ‘secret’. Hillary had exclusively used her family’s server for official communication rather than the official email account maintained on Federal servers. The FBI controlled by the Democratic president Barack Obama refused to charge sheet Hillary when lesser mortals would have been sent to jail. Again, on July 6, 2016, Bill Clinton appointed- Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that no charges would be filed against Hillary. Even if people don’t like Hillary, she could still win when the “establishment” corner the electors in her favour. This, in essence, is true American democracy - of the capitalists, by the capitalists and for the capitalists.

DailyDevotion God’s Purpose or Mine?

He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side… —Mark 6:45 We tend to think that if Jesus Christ compels us to do something and we are obedient to Him, He will lead us to great success. We should never have the thought that our dreams of success are God’s purpose for us. In fact, His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have the idea that God is leading us toward a particular end or a desired goal, but He is not. The question of whether or not we arrive at a particular goal is of little importance, and reaching it becomes merely an episode along the way. What we see as only the process of reaching a particular end, God sees as the goal itself.

What is my vision of God’s purpose for me? Whatever it may be, His purpose is for me to depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay calm, faithful, and unconfused while in the middle of the turmoil of life, the goal of the purpose of God is being accomplished in me. God is not working toward a particular finish— His purpose is the process itself.

What He desires for me is that I see “Him walking on the sea” with no shore, no success, nor goal in sight, but simply having the absolute certainty that everything is all right because I see “Him walking on the sea” (Mark 6:49). It is the process, not the outcome, that is glorifying to God. God’s training is for now, not later. His purpose is for this very minute, not for sometime in the future. We have nothing to do with what will follow our obedience, and we are wrong to concern ourselves with it. What people call preparation, God sees as the goal itself.

God’s purpose is to enable me to see that He can walk on the storms of my life right now. If we have a further goal in mind, we are not paying enough attention to the present time. However, if we realize that moment-by-moment obedience is the goal, then each moment as it comes is precious.

Post-mortem Principles of taxation Panacea for the confronting issues

N

AKEDLY speaking: Had it been in the Head hunting days, no one Tribe would have dominated the other and all Villages of every Tribe in Nagaland would have been living in the Purest form of Democracy in mutual Peace from mutual fear of each other. There would have been no headache of Woman Reservation in the land of the Naga then!

On the question payment of Tax; like all civilized People, wild head hunting Nagas also hate Payment of Tax. There was no Custom of Taxation among the Naga before the British Administration. And Womenfolk beat their Steatopigia with their hands to show their utter contempt to the Tax Collectors gone to the Village to collect house Tax of the British Colonial Power.

The every Naga builds his own House with the timber and Building materials brought from his own Tree Stand. His Villagers helped him carry the heaviest Timber, the Rige Piece and his neighbors helped him carry the heavier Posts; otherwise he built his own House.

That is why the Naga hated payment of Tax but understood the payment of Fireplaces Tax the British collected on the basis of number of Fireplaces even when more than one family shared the same kitchen and tried to fool the Administration.

The British administration collected Tax because they rendered their Service of Protecting the Citizens from Headhunting, giving health Services against diseases, provided School Education and administered Justice to every against injustices from any Source.

One of the greatest Principles of Democracy is: NO SERVICE; NO TAXATION! Jesus asked Peter: “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes –from their own sons or from others?”

Peter answered: “from others”.

The Roman Colonial Cities like Philippi, Caesarea and Caesarea Philip in the Roman Empire of Israel in the days of Jesus, were exempted from payment of the Roman Tax and citizens of Rome like Paul were exempted fro summary punishment unless given a chance to speak in their defense.

In the Federal Government of the

Naga National Council, every Ten Families of a Clan supported for the upkeep of One Nominee of the Clan in the Government.

This is perfectly rational and reasonable and representative of the People. The NNC still operates the System and so the People have no complain of the common System of cooperation. The NNC did this in its own Territory and each Clan, Each Khel and each Village supported itself in the common endeavor.

The IM claims the Power to collect Tax from the every Citizens of Nagaland State claiming they have the mandate of the People. I am just a layman, not a legal Expert but principally; having the Mandate of the People and having the Power of the Law to Tax are different. Mandated people must pass a law or a System in the National Parliament or in the legislative Assembly, a Law or a System empowering the kinds of People the Power to Tax. Principally, it is only the Parliament, and the Legislative Assembly, in conformity with the Constitutional Provision, can make a Law empowering certain Grades or Echelons of Officers, the Power to Tax and there are various kinds of Taxes: Income Tax, Value Added Tax, Sales Tax, Customs Tax, Vehicle Tax, Land Tax, Import Tax, Export Tax, House Tax, and countless other Taxes, even amusement Tax, that a legitimate Government can collect.

Taxation is a very serious matter even for a qualified Lawyer, but the cardinal Principle of Taxation is: NO SERVICE; NO TAXATION! NO REPRESENTATION: NO TAXATION. Even mandated Government must collect Tax through a System, not by negotiation in the Market.

Do the IM considers the Citizens of Nagaland as “Others” that they collect Tax from Nagaland? The IM has not the Mandate of the People. Compulsory Or paid Consultative Meeting in which the Hearers are only Lectured, is not a System of gaining Mandate of a People, particularly when the Fund is obtained with an unlicensed Firearms.

Rejoinder ‘on review NSEE results, demands ENCSU’

T

he demand of the ENCSU for review of the recently conducted NSEE result published in local dailies recently is unjustified, irrelevant and devoid of reason. As a concerned parent observing the result of the NSEE results from close quarters for the past 2-3 years, I have noticed the many write ups by individuals and organizations alleging the discrepancies of the Technical Education Department which are far from truth.

It is true that according to the policy of the state 15% of the total seats per course are reserved for candidates belonging to backward tribes of Nagaland securing minimum qualified marks. However, according to the same policy, it is stated that “incase qualified

candidates under Backward Tribe reservation are not available, then all such unfilled seats will be de-reserved and allotted to candidates under category 1 while maintaining merit”.

It learnt from reliable sources that only three candidates from backward tribes secured 40% and resultantly the department has de-reserved and allotted to the deserving candidates.

Thus, demanding knowingly what is not due to you and requesting for re examination solely for candidates belonging to the backwards tribes and asking for grace marks is totally ridiculous, unreasonable and unjustified as no university would accede nor entertain such proposal.

Recognize our rights

T

he Nations of the world has clearly understood our national movement, we appreciate the Govt of India for mutual understanding that Indo- Naga issue cannot be solved with bullets but through peaceful talk accepting each other’s needs to be recognized.

We demand our rights to be recognized as Nagas not as invaded foreign people, as per the international rights, the democracy country known as India should recognize the indigenous people’s rights, govt of India has declared under section 3, as disturbed area and forced the armed forces ( special powers) regulation of 1958, even Air force, act of 1959 ( 45 to 1950), and brought monster destruction in our land, the cried of People shall remain curse to you until you release us, you’ve sow the seed of divide, hatred, killing, rape, etc, which will soon harvest.

The NNC/People’s Republic of Nagaland urge Govt of India to be aware that without the consent of Naga civil societies and its people, whatever agreement or solutions may arrive must have knowledge as mentioned, without which the agreement may treated as null and void. In this crucial period leaders of revolutionary Government must unite and stand together with one voice and one spirit. Kuknalim Ministry of Information & publicity, NNC/ PRN

“I

n a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top,they will have to live in different ways .Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence.

They are a reflection of it.” Cal Thomas Nagaland Government presented a deficit budget of Rs.1419.35 cr! Pathetic road condition of Nagaland! Nagaland State Government employees suffering due to delayed salaries! Registered educated unemployed in Nagaland crossed over 70,000! And yes “Naga political issue” all these problems cover the major headlines of our local dailies.

Our fiscal deficit is not a result of wars, recessions or tax cuts .It is a known fact that these are simply the consequence of political corruption and financial mismanagement.

Completely eliminating the fiscal deficit is a near impossibility.

However, something has to be done! As recommended by the Governor of Nagaland, P. B. Acharya, Lokayukta Act should be enacted in the state to check any kind of irregularities. The Government can increase taxes from wealthy Nagas starting from our wealthy politicians .United States followed the same policy of Passing Deficit Reduction Act which proved miraculous result. Nagaland annually spends Rs.231 crore on importing of livestock alone.

Why not generate revenue by exporting those commodities which are suitable for our soil, like Naga king Chilli? Tourism also contribute to strengthening of our economy.

It is even more sad to know that our state is known by the name of potholes. If Nagaland requires 350 crores each year to

maintain the existing road but is receiving only Rs.40 crore per year, at least 40 crores can improve the condition of our road to some extent. We all want to drive or walk in good roads but we can’t sacrifice a part of our land for the betterment of society. This all owes to the selfish nature of human beings.

Regarding non payment of salaries, we are well aware of the root cause and the result it has on the lives of the people and economy .It has a disastrous impact on the lives of children of those non-paid government employees as well.60-70 percent of states budget is said to go towards employees remuneration.

It is in the interest of general welfare that the process of getting salary only after some protest NOT becomes a trend.

Top public officials should release the salary at the appropriate time instead of waiting for the public to protest and create commotions. By withholding the salary, they are losing the trust of the general public on them The number of educated unemployed are increasing at an alarming rate. This is direct result of people’s mindset.The traditional curriculum is mainly concentrated towards writing competitive exams. Every human individual simply are not born to be govt. servant, but much bigger and better than that! Nagas have great taste in music and entrepreneurship.

The innate talent they possess be nurtured and guided in the right direction. Then only Nagas can grow and develop.

Talking about the Naga political issue, We Nagas were always independent! We were never a part of India. As from the perspective of Indian government, Nagaland is just only

Mercenaries of the Devil

R

ecap. Longjanglepzuk Ao of Merangkong village was Baptized from Sibsagar Baptist Church on September 7, 1851 by Rev. S.W. Whiting. He was the first Christian from amongst the Ao tribe and the second Naga convert after Hobe-Konyak who was earlier baptized on September 12, 1847. Unfortunately, Longjanglepzuk became a victim of a hostile attack on Merangkong by a combined force of 9 villages.

It was in the early part of October 1871, Supongmeren from Molungkimong village was baptised at Sibsagar and enrolled as an American Baptist Church member. He became the bridge between the American Baptist Misionary E.W. Clark, Evangelist Godhula and the headhunting Ao Nagas. The Kosasanger Council of Molungkimong Village (Dekahaimong) dispatched 60 warriors to escort Dr. E.W. Clark to escort him.

It took almost three days from Sibsagar to reach Molungkimong.

Clark arrived on 18 December (Wednesday) and baptized 15 new converts on 22nd (Sunday) December 1872 at a Village drinking well called ‘Chungli Tzubu’ which was permitted by the Village council. Another miracle for Clark after which they had a worship service and celebrated the first Lord’s supper. Thus, on this day, the first Naga Church was founded with 28 Baptized members. They were Dr. Clark, Godhula and his wife, Supongmeren, 9 converts baptized on 10

(Seduction of our Inheritance)

November at Sibsagar, and 15 converts baptized at Molungkimong on 22 December 1872 (Wikipedia), after which they all partook the Lord’s Supper at the chapel hall.

This first baptism in Naga Soil marked the establishment of the first Church in Nagaland at Molungkimong . Godhula Rufus Brown or Gandhela Barua an Ahom from Sibsagar, Assam, was the 1st Missionary to set foot in the Naga Hills in October 1871. It is pertinent to make a mention that he lived at Merangkong village during 1881-1885, & 1887 to 1900 as a preacher, teacher and evangelist The seed of God’s words in erstwhile Naga Hills (Nagaland) was first planted more than 144 years ago. Hence in 6 years time, we will be celebrating 150 years of the establishment of the church in Nagaland. In 144 years of Christianity in the state, the question comes to one’s mindhave we progressed positively?

What can we show to the rest of the world about our faith and religion for the past 144 years? A hundred thoughts crosses the mind when we see the present situation and conditions of our state.

The Nagas in general and the Ao’s in particular, do in fact; have a great responsibility and even greater accountability before God. The accountability before God will be too severe and heavy to pay and the consequences would be truly disastrous if we do not “introspect” and change our mindset and attitude towards each other. It

is a brave man and a hero who is able to change his life and those around him.

The past 30 to 40 years in every General election, the people have resorted to violence, caused death, and captured polling booths. Masterminded bogus and proxy voters, abduction, enforced curfew on those who differ on the choice of candidates just to satisfy their political lust.

Feasting, free use of alcohol, compounded shamelessly with the sale and purchase of votes. This is a common practice indulged in every election in our Christian dominated state. The disease or virus has rapidly spread over the decades to every nook and corner of the state.

Today, this has become a common practice in every General Election in Nagaland which has compromised our faith, culture and traditional values. Is this our inheritance?

Where are we heading today? Is this the will of God? To unwittingly become the Mercenaries of the Devil?

The NBCC’s clarion call for a “Clean Election Campaign” is noteworthy. The question is – should a different yardstick be applied for different folks?

Ex-communication by the Church should have a much broader area for application rather than just immorality.

Extortion and robbery are both anti-development and anti- progress as it is also a form of corruption. Despite the significant role of the Christian church in everyday life, the church seems to stay out of politics. The Church

Coconuts may inspire designs

he specialised structure of coconut walls may help to design buildings that can withstand earthquakes and other natural disasters, a new study suggests.

Coconuts are renowned for their hard shells, which are vital to ensure their seeds successfully germinate. Coconut palms can grow 30 m high, meaning that when the ripe fruits fall to the ground their walls have to withstand the impact to stop them from splitting open.

To protect the internal seed, the coconut has a complex structure of three layers: the outer brown, leathery exocarp, a fibrous mesocarp and a tough inner endocarp

surrounding the pulp which contains the developing seedling.

Researchers at the University of Freiburg in Germanystudied how this specialised structure could be applied in architecture. They used compression machines and an impact pendulum to study how coconuts disperse energy.

“By analysing the fracture behaviour of the samples and combining this with knowledge about the shell’s anatomy gained from microscopy and computed tomography, we aimed to identify mechanically relevant structures for energy absorption” said plant biomechanist Stefanie Schmier.

one of the many states that strive to disintegrate from Indian Union. India with 1.3 million active personnel, ranks the third largest military force in the world .Therefore, fighting them physically is a near impossibility. This problem can be tackled only with the help of sheered diplomacy.

However, Nagaland, becoming economically independent is a pre- requisite. A retired geology professor, Naresh Ghose, from Patna university reported that Nagaland has gold reserves. The natural resources and minerals in our land should be dug out and exploited to make our economy prosper.

We complain our politicians are corrupted .Taking a closer look at their life testimonies, all of them have in one way or the other struggled to hold the position as they are occupying now. They amassed wealthsome by right means and other by wrong means- because it is the mindset of the people that resolve to vote for those leaders who shower them more money at the time of election.

A policy is formulated wherein only those leaders who don’t even distribute a single penny be allowed to contest election.

Then only corruption can be tackled to some extent.

The bottom line is “we, the common people, are responsible for the problems we are facing today.”The proverb,” As you sow; so shall you reap”is applicable in our context .Instead of grumbling and complaining, let’s devise a way; a solution and an answer because we human beings are capable of overcoming any difficulties only to stand taller and stronger!

May God continue to bless our Nagaland!

Imkongnukla Ao, B.A.lll, Patkai Christian College

The study found that within the endocarp layer - which consists mainly of highly lignified stone cells - the vessels that make up the vascular system have a distinct, ladder-like design, which is thought to help withstand bending forces.

Each cell is surrounded by several lignified rings, joined together by parallel bridges. “The endocarp seems to dissipate energy via crack deflection” said Schmier.

“This means that any newly developed cracks created by the impact don’t run directly through the hard shell,” she said. It is thought that the angle of the vascular bundles

helps to “divert” the trajectory of the cracks. The longer a crack has to travel within the endocarp, the more likely it is that it will stop before it reaches the other side. The distinct angle of the vascular bundles in the endocarp could be applied to the arrangement of textile fibres within functionally graded concrete, to enable crack deflection.

“This combination of lightweight structuring with high energy dissipation capacity is of increasing interest to protect buildings against earthquakes, rock fall and other natural or humanmade hazards,” said Schmier.

(the heart of the Naga people) is not moving actively towards the degree of their involvement in the fight against various modes of corruption amongst the political class and the bureaucracy, who controls much of the state’s purse strings (source). A message often quoted to the good people, who are complacent and do not vote – remember “Bad Politicians are elected

by Good Citizens, who do not vote.”

Every Naga should now “be the change” to deliver the land from every form of physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, financial and material corruption. Nagas are now sitting at the threshold of a major decision to truthfully and honestly introspect about our own personal lives, before we try to emulate Christ without a change of heart. Let us not take pride that we have celebrated 144 years of the establishment of the Church in Nagaland.

Let us not make big budgetary provisions for the 150 years celebration in 2022, let us look at the sick affairs of the state and be that precious medicine to bring the desired change which the people are crying to the Lord for justice and deliverance.

Let us not ignore the writings on the wall which are loud and clear. Let “good will towards all man” prevail.

Nagas must rise up and build Nagaland into a New Jerusalem, a city of peace in Asia.

That the world may see and experience that; Christ indeed lives in Nagaland.

Sir,

Genuine concern and understanding

The ex-Parliamentarians’ Association of Nagaland expresses its profound gratitude and appreciation to chief minister, T. R. Zeliang and speaker Chotisuh Sazo, Nagaland Legislative Assembly for passing of the Nagaland Salaries Bill, 2016 during the recently concluded assembly session, treating all ex-members equally.

This noble and magnanimous gesture on their part has shown their genuine concern and understanding for the exmembers who had sacrificed their best services for the public and are going through difficult times due to the increasing cost of living.

Former Environment Minister and Rajya Sabha member Jairam Ramesh earlier sought amendment to the clause that stressed on disbursement and utilisation of the funds by the states.

However, he withdrew the amendment later.

“Normally, I would have moved this amendment but in view of the written assurance by the minister that the spirit of the amendment will be reflected in the rules and that if the rules are insufficient, he will come back in one year’s time, I am withdrawing it,” Ramesh said.

Further, Dr. Singh said the government has taken up several projects for improvement in road, rail, air, communication, waterways and telecom network in the region.

Stating that addressing connectivity issues assumed a new seriousness, he said the government has set up National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) in 2014, which was now fast tracking road building activity.

NHIDCL has also undertaken upgradation of neglected, but critical inter-state roads, a new scheme launched by ministry of DoNER, Dr. Singh said, adding that the

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (PTI): Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued fresh summons against Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh’s wife Pratibha after she skipped today’s date in connection with the alleged money laundering case against her husband and others.

Official sources said Pratibha was scheduled to appear before the investigating officer of the case today but sought exemption citing some personal reasons. They said she has now been summoned to appear next week, the third date of her appearance.

Incidentally, the Delhi High Court is expected to hear tomorrow Singh’s plea where he had sought a direction to the agency to not take any coercive step against him in the wake of the arrest of LIC agent Anand Chauhan in the case.

The agency has also attached assets worth about Rs eight crore against the Chief Minister earlier this year.

Singh has denied allegations of any wrong doing by him and his family.

ED had filed a case under criminal provisions of money laundering laws after taking cognisance of a complaint filed by the CBI in this regard in September last year.

provocative statements on the Kashmir situation in the wake of Burhan Wani’s killing on July 8. Wani was a wanted terrorist Commander of the banned terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen.

Not only did Sharif praise Wani but he also remarked that “Kashmir will one day become Pakistan”, a comment which evoked a sharp reaction from External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who said his dream of the state becoming a part of his country “will not be realised even at the end of eternity”.

Singh will be accompanied by Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi and several other senior officers of the Home Ministry. Key issues like fight against terrorism, illegal trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and small arms and how to make coordinated and concerted efforts to combat such menace will figure in the SAARC meet. The three-tier meeting will begin at the joint secretary- level on August 2 and then move on to Secretary and Home Minister-level meetings. The meeting will also focus on strengthening networking among police authorities of SAARC membercountries and also enhance information-sharing among law enforcement agencies.

DoNER minister also said heavy investment has been made in power transmission with two projects covering all the 8 states sanctioned the total cost of Rs.9865 crores in order to reach power to more areas.

According to Dr. Singh, the Comprehensive Telecom Development Plan with a budget of Rs.5336 crore has enabled better mobile connectivity with new nodes at district, block and gram panchayat levels. “Internet services got a boost with the recent launch of international internet gateway from Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh to Agartala, making it the third in the country after

Mumbai and Chennai,” he added.

The minister said thrust has been given for promotion of Handlooms & Handicrafts in the region. He pointed out that under the North Eastern Region Textile Promotion Scheme, an amount of Rs. 286 crore has been spent during the last two years. Besides, Dr. Singh said the government was implementing various schemes/programmes for promotion, upgradation and development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises throughout the country including NE region.

In addition, North Eastern Council has supported a number of projects posed by state governments relating to development of work-sheds and marketing of produce, he said.

KOLKATA, JUL 28 (PTI): Eminent author and social activist Mahasweta Devi, whose writings focused on the marginalised communities in the country and served as the voice of the oppressed, died here on Thursday after a multi-organ failure. She was 91.

P. Tandon, CEO of Belle Vue nursing home, where she was admitted since May 22, said she was suffering from multi-organ failure and died at 3.16 PM. She suffered a cardiac arrest following the multi-organ failure. “Her condition deteriorated at 3 PM. We tried our level best, but suddenly her condition became very bad and at 3.16 PM she passed away,” he said.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condoled her death and said the country has lost a great writer.

On what kind of signal India, which has postponed the resumption of Comprehensive Bilateral Dialogue in wake of Pathankot terror strike, was giving by sending the Home Minister to Pakistan, Swarup said,”Our participation is in the context of our ‘neighbourhood first’ policy and our commitment to regional cooperation within the SAARC framework.

“The meeting also provides an opportunity for us to underline the high importance we attach to achieving forward movement on security cooperation in the region.”

In previous meetings as well, India has participated at Home Minister and Home Secretary level, he noted.

He also reiterated that India wants a peaceful, cooperative relations with Pakistan and is prepared to discuss all outstanding issues with Islamabad in an atmosphere free of terror and violence.

It is incumbent on Pakistan to create such an atmosphere, he added while stressing that humanitarian issues such as fishermen are important to India.

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (PTI): Pakistan’s sustained support to cross-border terrorism will be raised by Home Minister Rajnath Singh during his two-day visit to Islamabad to attend the SAARC ministerial conference on August 4.

During his stay in Pakistan, the minister will be representing India at the 7th meeting of SAARC ministers of Interior/Home but there is no bilateral meeting scheduled with his Pakistani counterpart, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.

This will be the first visit by any senior Indian leader to Pakistan after the Pathankot attack on January 2, which created tension between the two countries.

Asked specifically if the Home Minister will hold a bilateral meeting with his Pakistani counterpart, Swarup said, “He is going for a multilateral event...There is no such proposal. He (Rajnath) is going for a multilateral SAARC event.”

According to sources in Home Ministry, Singh is expected to bluntly ask Pakistan to stop sponsoring acts of terror in India and also raise the issue of slow pace of probe into the Pathankot airbase terror attack, which was carried out

by Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad, and the

compartments,” Dave said.

The funds will be primarily spent to compensate for loss of forest cover, regeneration of forest ecosystem, wildlife protection and infrastructure development.

Of the fund corpus, the Centre will get 10 per cent and the remaining will be distributed among the states.

This is one of the major amendments to the earlier version of the bill. In 2013, the share of the states was increased nine-fold to 90 per cent. The Comptroller and Auditor General though took a note of the lack of preparedness among the state forest authorities to utilise the funds. Odisha will receive the highest Rs 5,996 crore.

The funds for 13 other states have been fixed, depending on their respective forest covers and other projects. The remaining states will receive Rs 1,000 crore each.

NE W DE LHI, JUL 28 (IANS): A bill to amend the Lokpal and Lokayukta Act, 2013, was passed by parliament on Thursday doing away with the time limit for public servants to furnish details of their assets and liabilities, which as per the original act was July 31 every year. The Lokpal and Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill, 2016, which was passed by the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, was passed by the upper house on Thursday.

It allows extension of the time given to public servants and trustees and board members of NGOs, receiving government funds of more than Rs 1 crore or foreign funding of more than Rs 10 lakh, to declare their assets and those of their spouses.

Speaking on the bill, Minister for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Jitendra Singh said the government had no intention to dilute the Lokpal bill.

“We have no intention to dilute or to deviate from the Lokpal bill. Government stands by Lokpal Act and is committed to implement it in letter and spirit,” he said.

“The message should also not go out that members have joined together to get away from provision of stating their assets. It is also a fact under the Representation of People Act what we are declaring is much more than any other class or section of society,” the minister said.

NE W DE LHI, JUL 28 (IANS): Paving the way to unlock Rs 40,000 funds to establish corpus at the national and state levels to pay for afforestation activities, the Rajya Sabha on Thursday passed the Compensatory Afforestation Bill, 2015.

“We are giving money to those who have lost in the race of development,” Anil Madhav Dave, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Environment, Forests and Climate Change, told the upper house.

The bill seeks to create a Compensatory Afforestation Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) and a Compensatory Afforestation Fund for both states and the Centre. Each state will get its share in the funds.

frontiers as the two border guarding forces agreed that there has been a greater adherence to ceasefire along the International Border (IB), since September last year.

BSF Director General K K Sharma and Pak Rangers (Punjab) DG Maj Gen Umar Farooq Burki, signed a joint record of discussions at the end of the four-day meeting that began on July 25 at the headquarters of the Rangers in Lahore in Pakistan.

“The meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere and

each other’s concerns in a time bound manner,” it said.

The Indian side, during the talks, is also understood to have raised issues related to cross-border smuggling of arms and ammunition along with narcotics consignments, detection of illegal tunnels running across the IB and the growth of ‘Sarkanda’ (elephant grass) and its weeding off along these areas.

The BSF chief also extended an official invitation to his counterpart to visit India for the next round of the bi-annual talks later this year.

“The talks ended on a optimistic note with both sides agreeing on constant endeavour to maintain peaceful and tranquil borders,” the statement said.

Last time the two sides met in Delhi it was decided not to fire heavy artillery like mortar shells and ensure that civilians living along the IB were not harmed.

The two forces had also decided that their officials, right up to the level of Directors General, will exchange mobile numbers, email ids and fax numbers for swift communication to resolve disputes on the IB running through Indian states of Jammu Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

The DG-level talks between the two sides are a bi-annual affair with the either side hosting it in their respective headquarters one after the other.

“This is why preparing the long-term vision and strategy documents and placing them in the public domain for extensive discussion is extremely important,” the Aayog recommended.

The policy research arm of the government also underscored the importance of giving “adequate hearing” to “internal criticisms” of proposed policies.

“Without this, there would be no incentive for critics to offer constructive criticisms, which can play a crucial role in formulating sound and relevant polices,” it added.

Modi, the Chairman of NITI Aayog, also took stock of the economy and progress of various government programmes that are monitored by the official think-tank.

The meeting was attended by Panagariya and other members. The body has been mandated to come up with a 15-year vision document for a period up to 2030, which will be co-terminus with sustainable development goals.

NEW DELHI, JUL 28 (PTI): Think-tank Niti Aayog has batted for inclusion of more experts in the government and placing the long-term vision and strategy documents in the public domain for extensive discussion.

The measures are part of the premier policy-making body’s presentation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who chaired a meeting of the Aayog today to give a concrete shape to the 15-year vision document to quicken all-round development of the country, a senior official told PTI. In the presentation made by NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Arvind Panagariya on this critical aspect of planning in the country, the Aayog said: “It is very important to induct more and more experts from different fields in the government.” He added: “Increased complexity of the economy has meant that as a general rule, it is no longer possible for generalists to learn any subject within a matter of weeks or even months.” He suggested that only proper analysis and assessment of proposed policies

Paswan, however, had asserted that the state governments were equally responsible in bringing down the prices of pulses and urged them to take action against hoarders and reduce local taxes/VAT on lentils.

The Minister had asked the states to place demand for pulses from buffer stock for retail distribution at subsidised rate of Rs 120/kg to provide relief to comman people.

State-owned MMTC has contracted 56,000 tonnes of pulses, of which 21,584 tonnes have arrived, as per the official data.

India imported about 5.8 million tonnes of pulses both through public and private agencies. The gap in pulses demand-supply has widened due to fall in domestic production to around 17 million tonnes in the past two crop years affected by consecutive droughts.

Yesterday, Paswan in Parliament had said barring pulses, there has not been increase in rates of other essential items.

Obama slams Trump for ‘selling fear’

President Barack Obama and Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wave together during the third day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Wednesday. (AP/PTI)

pitched for his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as his successor in the White House.

“I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman more

ally a plans guy. Not really a facts guy, either. He calls himself a business guy, which is true, but I have to say, I know plenty of businessmen and women who’ve achieved success without leaving a trail of lawsuits, and unpaid workers, and people feeling like they got cheated,” he said.

Obama said Clinton is respected around the world not just by leaders, but by the people they serve.

“She’s worked closely with our intelligence teams, our diplomats, our military.

And she has the judgment, the experience, and the temperament to meet the threat from terrorism. It’s not new to her,” he said.

“Our troops have pounded ISIL without mercy, taking out leaders, taking back territory. I know Hillary won’t relent until ISIL is destroyed.

She’ll finish the job - and she’ll do it without resorting to torture, or banning entire religions from entering our country. She is fit to be the next Commander-in-Chief,” he asserted.

“America is already strong. And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump. In fact, it doesn’t

Assad offers amnesty to rebels who surrender

depend on any one person.

And that, in the end, may be the biggest difference in this election - the meaning of our democracy,” he said.

“Ronald Reagan called America ‘a shining city on a hill’. Donald Trump calls it ‘a divided crime scene’ that only he can fix. It doesn’t matter to him that illegal immigration and the crime rate are as low as they’ve been in decades, because he’s not offering any real solutions to those issues. He’s just offering slogans, and he’s offering fear.

He’s betting that if he scares enough people, he might score just enough votes to win this election,” he added.

“That is another bet that Donald Trump will lose. Because he’s selling the American people short. We are not a fragile or frightful people,” Obama said.

“Apparently, he doesn’t know the men and women who make up the strongest fighting force the world has ever known. He suggests America is weak. He must not hear the billions of men, women, and children, from the Baltics to Burma, who still look to America to be the light of freedom, dignity, and human rights,” he said.

Jakarta, Jul 28 (Agencies): Indonesia Thursday rejected appeals from the UN and EU to halt the execution of 14 drug convicts including foreigners, as speculation mounted they could face the firing squad in a matter of hours.

The group, including foreigners from Nigeria, Pakistan, India and Zimbabwe as well as Indonesians, have been placed in isolation on a prison island where Jakarta carries out executions.

Authorities stepped up preparations with ambulances carrying coffins seen crossing over to Nusakambangan island. Family members say they have been told the convicts will be executed Thursday night, according to a lawyer and diplomat -- who were angry as it was earlier than they thought was allowed.

The attorney general`s office, which oversees executions, could not be reached for comment.

Indonesia last carried out executions in April 2015 when it put to death eight drug convicts, including two Australians, sparking international outrage.

B u t P r e s i d e n t Jo k o Widodo has defended the use of the death penalty to combat rising narcotics use.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra`ad Al Hussein on Wednesday called on Indonesia to end the “unjust” use of the death penalty, while the European Union urged Jakarta to stop the “cruel and inhumane punishment, which fails to act as a deterrent”.

Indonesian foreign ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir defended the looming executions as “pure law enforcement”.

“I need to emphasise that all the legal processes of the convicts have been completed, all their rights have been fulfilled -- we target the drug traffickers and not users,” he said.

Jakarta faced accusations of breaking its own laws by apparently planning to hold the executions on Thursday.

Diplomats and lawyers say they were given the legally required three days notice of the plan on Tuesday afternoon and believed the earliest it could happen was Friday.”I am very concerned -- this cannot happen,” Ricky Gunawan,

Damascus, Jul 28 (Agencies): Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday offered an amnesty to armed rebels battling his forces if they surrender, the official SANA news agency reported. “ E ve r yo n e c a r r y i n g arms... and sought by justice... is excluded from full punishment if they hand themselves in and lay down their weapons,” SANA said, quoting a presidential decree on the three-month amnesty offer.

The reprieve also includes any rebel who frees a hostage, according to the decree text.

The offer comes as opposition neighbourhoods of Aleppo city are effectively surrounded by pro-government forces, sparking fears for the more than 200,000 people trapped there. Assad`s ally Russia said Thursday it had launched a “large-scale” operation with the Syrian government to open humanitarian corridors for civilians and fighters fleeing the northern city.

Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told Russian news agencies that three humanitarian corridors were being opened “to aid civilians held hostage by terrorists and for fighters wishing to lay down their arms” and one more corridor to the north of the city for rebels to flee with their weapons.

Assad has issued several amnesties in recent years, including one in July 2015 for people who have dodged service or defected from the army.

a lawyer for a Nigerian convict set to face the firing squad, told AFP. “It is clearly against the law. This execution has been completely under secrecy from the start.”

Four citizens from Indonesia and ten others from Nigeria, India, South Africa, Pakistan and Zimbabwe would be executed, said lawyers from the Jakarta-based Community Legal Aid Institute, who had visited some of the inmates in prison this week.

Syed Zahid Raza, deputy Pakistani ambassador in Jakarta, said the family of a Pakistani man, Zulfiqar Ali, had been informed he would be executed Thursday night.

Spokesman Nasir said his ministry had fulfilled all their obligations by notifying foreign representatives.

But Amnesty International outlined Wednesday “systematic flaws” in the trials of several of the death row inmates, and warned the executions could not proceed while appeals for clemency were pending.

Family members of Michael Titus Igweh, a Nigerian prisoner, said his case was still under review.

“You know, nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the Oval Office.

Even in the middle of crisis, she listens to people, and keeps her cool, and treats everybody with respect.

Man Booker Prize 2016 longlist

he Man Booker Prize has announced its longlist, featuring two-time winner JM Coetzee going for a third bite of the cherry, a surprising crime thriller, an offbeat romance and several debuts.

The Booker’s Dozen, contains 13 authors – six women, seven men - each vying for the £50,000 prize.

The award is open to authors of any nationality writing in English and whose works are published in the UK. Britain tops the selection with six nominations, while the US received five nods and one Canadian and one South

African author have also been listed.

The list is less diverse than in 2015, when it featured authors from Ireland, Nigeria, India and Jamaica, home to Marlon James, the country’s first Booker winner.

“The range of books is broad and the quality extremely high,” said judge Amanda Foreman.

While some of the titles challenged expectations of what a novel is and can be, the writing was “uniformly fresh, energetic and important”, she added.

Coetzee is the acknowledged veteran of this year’s

list, having taken the title in 1983 and 1999, as well as being a Nobel Prize laureate.

The Schooldays of Jesus is the South African’s first novel since The Childhood of Jesus in 2013.

Other inclusions are debut novelists Wyl Menmuir’s The Many, Ottessa Moshfegh’s Eileen and David Means’ Hystopia, along with Pulitzerwinner Elizabeth Strout’s My Name Is Lucy Barton, Virginia Reeves’s Work Like Any Other, David Szalay’s All That Man Is, Canadian Madeleine Thien’s Do Not Say We Have Nothing, and Ian Mcguire’s The North Water.

According to Mumbai Mirror, “They will perform in India on November 19 as part of the charity’s annual fund-raising concert. It is yet to be decided whether Mumbai or Delhi will be the chosen city.”

While any official confirmation from the band about the same is still awaited, clinging on to the very thought of a Coldplay concert in the country seems like solace enough for now.

f you’ve always cribbed about Coldplay not performing in India, your woes might soon see an end.

The band, which has the reputation of being all kinds of brilliant--and boasts of a loyal set of fans--is soon going to be performing on the Indian turf.

Reportedly, the band will be headed to India in the month of November, where it will perform at a charity concert organised by the Global Poverty Project. The Global Poverty Project is believed to be the very reason behind Chris Martin’s surprise visit to the cities of Mumbai and New Delhi last year.

The other obvious reason being Coldplay’s muchtalked-about track, Hymn

iving the shirt off your back used to be ultimate sign of generosity.

But Hollywood stars Sharon Stone, Benicio Del Toro and Emma Watson have gone one better, donating their trousers for a new charity drive called “Jeans for Refugees”.

Singers Elton John and Lily Allen have also handed over their denims to the American artist and designer Johny Dar to transform and then auction them off for the International Committee for Refugees (ICR).

Other stars who have also reached into their wardrobes to help include rock legend Mick Jagger, models Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson, and actresses Eva Longoria and Audrey Tautou and singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham.

“The world refugee crisis has had an impact on everyone,” said the designer Dar, adding that the online auction would close in October.

rt house filmmaker Kim Ki-duk, best known for award winning movies like “The Isle” “Pietà” “Bad Guy” “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring” has received 250 million yuan ($37.4 million) in investment from a Chinese production company for his upcoming film “Who is God,” according to an industry insider.

A war epic set in an ancient Asian kingdom, “Who is God” has been a work in progress since even before the release of Kim’s awardwinning film “Pieta,” which was met with controversy in Korea due to its violent and graphic nature.

Kim’s biggest budget film to date, the upcoming movie will star an all-Chinese cast, including singer-actress Liu Yifei.

Best known for his internationally-acclaimed 2003 production “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ... and Spring,” Kim had previously indicated that he may take a hiatus from the Korean film industry.

“I have shot about 20 films in Korea. I think I’ve told all the stories I’ve wanted to tell in Korea,” said the filmmaker at the 2015 Busan International Film Festival.

Notorious for his iconoclastic taste, Kim told reporters at the press conference for “Who is God” in Beijing last September that he is “willing to alter the content of the film for the Chinese audience.”

Note perfect Murray ready for more Olympic glory

Andy Murray LONDON, Jul 28 (Agencies): Andy Murray has revealed the secret behind the personalised notes that fuelled his Wimbledon triumph and will inspire his bid for more Olympic glory.

Murray was often seen reading a sheet of paper in breaks between games as he marched to a historic second Wimbledon title in July. The Scot offered a rare insight into the motivational scribblings after his success at the All England Club.

The 29-year-old, who has worked with a sports psychologist in the past, writes down important aspects of his game-plan to focus on during each match and sprinkles in inspirational reminders of his qualities.

As Murray prepares to defend the Olympics singles gold medal he won so memorably in London four years

ago, the world number two will again turn to his notes for guidance in Rio. “They’re personal notes.

Some of them stay the same the whole time. They’re basic things I remind myself to do during the matches,” Murray said.

“When I play my best tennis I feel like I’m doing these things. They would be like, Make sure you’re moving your feet when you’re nervous. People have a tendency when they’re nervous to not move, not use their legs.”

“I think when I play my best tennis, I do this, X, Y and Z, whatever it is on the notes.

Then I have some notes of the tactics for the match. Sometimes when you’re in the heat of a second set tie-break in a slam final, it’s easy to forget exactly what you’re trying to do. Sometimes I just look at the tactics that I’ve written

down for the match. I refer to them at change of ends. I find it helps me.”

Murray’s notes are typical of the perfectionist nature of the British star, who will travel to Brazil refreshed after a long break in the aftermath of his draining fortnight at Wimbledon.

His imperious march to the title culminated in a final victory over Milos Raonic which made him the first British man to win multiple All England Club crowns since Fred Perry in the 1930s.

Determined to recover mentally and physically in time for the Olympics, Murray opted out of Great Britain’s Davis Cup quarter-final win over Serbia and also pulled out of the Toronto Masters 1000 event.

That will leave the threetime Grand Slam champion with no match action under his belt since Wimbledon.

Instead, Murray was due to fly to Mallorca to begin his Olympic preparations with a 10-day training camp including practice time with injury-plagued Spanish star Rafael Nadal. For all Murray’s success at the majors, the Olympics will always retain a special place.

Having lost in a tearful Wimbledon final to Roger Federer, Murray returned to the All England Club weeks later to avenge that painful defeat.

Inspired by seeing Mo Farah and a host of other British athletes take gold on home turf, Murray routed Federer in the Olympic final -- becoming the first British man to win the singles gold medal in tennis since 1908. He also earned a silver medal with Laura Robson in the mixed doubles.

London, Jul 28 (Agencies): England all-rounder Ben Stokes will miss the third Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston with a torn calf muscle.

Stokes’ absence is not a surprise after he pulled up while bowling in the 330-run second Test win at Old Trafford, which levelled the four-Test series at 1-1.

Nottinghamshire seamer Jake Ball has been included in the 13-man squad alongside Middlesex pace bowler Steven Finn and Yorkshire leg-spinner Adil Rashid. Stokes, who has suffered an injury-ravaged summer, will be assessed again

by England’s medical team when the team meets in Birmingham on Sunday ahead of the third Test, which starts on Wednesday.

Arsenal cannot compete financially with rival clubs

London, Jul 28 (Agencies): Arsenal do not have the financial strength to “outgun” Premier League rivals in the transfer market and have to be careful in signing new players, according to the club’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis.

Arsenal finished a distant second to champions Leicester City last season and fans have vented frustration at the lack of big-money signings. Over the past few years, Arsenal have signed marquee names like Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil and Chile winger Alexis Sanchez, but they have still spent considerably less than many of their rivals. “We can’t afford to outgun competitors that have far more money -- we have to be very careful, very selective,” Gazidis told British media.

Mendis ton gives Lanka hope in Pallekele Test Pall e k e l e , J u l 2 8 (Agencies): Kusal Mendis may have played the innings of the first Test as Sri Lanka played themselves to a position of strength before bad light stopped play on Day 3 of the first Test against Australia in Pallekele on Thursday.

Mendis was unbeaten on 169 as Lanka ended the day at 282 for six, a lead of 196 runs.

The 21-year-old’s maiden Test ton could not have come at a better time in this bowlers’ dominated contest.

Sri Lanka needed someone to stand up to the Australian bowlers and despite a poor start, the Lankans were 86 for 4 - Mendis fought it out with Dinesh Chandimal in company.

Mendis and Chandimal produced 117 runs for the fifth wicket and this could turn out to be a match-winning one with two days left on a pitch that has largely favoured the

slow bowlers.

Mendis remained unbeaten on a match-high 86 to help Sri Lanka weather a wobbly morning and reach 116 for four at lunch. Chandimal was unbeaten on seven at the other end as the hosts erased the 86run first innings deficit and led by 30 with six wickets in hand at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

After collapsing for 117 on the opening day and conceding a handy first-innings lead, Sri Lanka could not afford a second batting collapse but the hosts received an early jolt after resuming on six for one on Thursday.

Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc struck with the third delivery of the morning, trapping Dimuth Karunaratne leg before for the second time in the match.

Steve O’Keefe dismissed Kaushal Silva leg before and spin partner Nathan Lyon sent

Rio de Janeiro, Jul 28 (IANS): International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach said problems facing the Rio Olympics are not unique to these Games and he is confident that Rio will solve all of the problems.

Bach arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday ahead of the IOC Session and the Olympic Games. He told reporters that he had made two stops, reports Xinhua.

The first was a visit to the Olympic Village to meet with athletes. The second was to tour the renovated port area with Rio 2016 president Carlos Nuzman and mayor Eduardo Paes to see where the Olympic Flame will be housed during the Games. “In the last couple

of days before the Olympic Games, there are always some challenges to be addressed.

We have seen them also here.

But if you see the determination of the Brazilian people, it makes everybody confident that the remaining problems will be solved in the next 24 or 48 hours,” Bach told reporters at the public leisure park in the port area.

The IOC president arrived just as problems with the Olympic Village dominate the talk in Rio. Two days earlier, the Australian delegation refused to move into the Village citing an unsafe building.

Numerous NOCs have since reported issues with the cleanliness and readiness of the complex. They since have said that joint cooperation

Mendis, however, looked unfazed and went on to score

Any Olympic Games could have challenges. We have seen there the speed of the changes,” Bach added.

In every democratic state, a leader or representative is elected to the state assembly to fight for the right of the people and for good governance and development. At time of election people speak volume for area development but in no time after election people speaks volume of money and self benefits and denounced area development. We may question ourselves what role we are playing in upholding our vision and hope of area development. Is it not that our representative is misguide and misleading towards committing corruption when we speak only for our personal gain. Let us rekindle ourselves and focus for the area development for better tomorrow.

The hosts were mauled by an innings and 92 runs in the first match which ended on the fourth day at the Sir Viv Richards stadium in Antigua.

Besides the 19-year-old fast bowler from Antigua, the selectors have retained the same squad which now contains 14 players.

Joseph has only played 12 matches at the senior level, including eight first-class matches in which he has taken 24 wickets at an average of 24.45 with two five-wicket hauls.

He was, however, one of West Indies’ most impressive performers on their way to winning the Under-19 World Cup in February.

Pep claims maiden City victory

Nicolas Otamendi (centre) launches into a challenge to try and dispossess Dortmund’s Mor during the friendly.

S h e n z h e n, J u l 2 8 (Agencies): Despite conceding a last-gasp equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City were able to celebrate Pep Guardiola’s first win in charge thanks to a penalty-shootout success.

It looked as though City would claim the triumph in regulation time when David Silva and Sergio Aguero - off the bench and featuring for the first time since last season combined for the latter to open the scoring in the 79th minute

in China.

But just when it seemed they had done enough for a 1-0 victory, City switched off from a corner in the fifth minute of stoppage time and Christian Pulisic’s effort crept its way into the net, through the legs of replacement goalkeeper Angus Gunn.

Although Gunn - the son of former Norwich goalkeeper Bryan Gunn - may feel he could have done better with that goal, the 20-year-old proved the hero in the shootout, saving three times as City

Chennaiyin FC rope in Baljit Sahni

Decision on Narsingh’s fate deferred

Chennai, Jul 28 (IANS): Indian Super League (ISL) champions Chennaiyin FC on Thursday announced that they have signed former ISL winner Baljit Sahni on a oneyear deal. Baljit, who hails from Hoshiarpur in Punjab and is capable of playing in different positions including on the wing and as a striker, played the first two seasons for Atletico de Kolkata (ATK).

He won the ISL title with ATK in 2014, scoring two goals that season, and reached the semi-finals last year. After ISL 2015, Baljit was on loan from ATK to DSK Shivajians in the I-League and has now joined Chennaiyin on a permanent deal after the expiry of his contract at the Kolkata franchise.

New Delhi, Jul 28 (PTI): The suspense over wrestler Narsingh Yadav’s Olympic participation was today prolonged further after the National Anti-Doping Agency deferred its final verdict on the doping scandal surrounding him to Saturday or Monday at the end of a two-day hearing here. A day after Narsingh and his lawyers presented their case on the failed dope test, which according to them, was a conspiracy against the grappler, NADA’s legal team gave its arguments against the sabotage theory before the disciplinary committee.

“Hearing has been concluded today. The judgement will come out either on Saturday or Monday,” NADA’s lawyer Gaurang Kanth told

prevailed 6-5 after eight kicks apiece.

Raheem Sterling having missed City’s seventh effort, Gunn saved from Jacob Bruun Larsen to keep City in it and then again from Mikel Merino after Angelino’s successful conversion for the victors.

Likely hindered by the 30-degree temperatures and sluggish pitch, the game was a far cry from the incisive, attacking football the expectant Shenzhen crowd had come to see.

While City had Mon-

day’s meeting with Manchester United in Beijing cancelled due to adverse weather, Dortmund had thrashed the same opponents 4-1 last Friday and Guardiola’s side started in sloppy fashion here.

Dortmund were almost gifted an opener three times in the first 20 minutes when two errant passes from Willy Caballero and one from Tosin Adarabioyo led to chances for Ousmane Dembele and Emre Mor, but neither man could convert.

While posing a danger to themselves, City continued to look a threat going forward with Kelechi Iheanacho denied by Roman Burki, who effected a stunning point-blank save with his right boot on the stroke of half-time.

Dortmund ought to have gone in front with 15 minutes to play when Marco Hober’s sublime reverse ball set up fellow substitute Gonzalo Castro, who prodded straight at Gunn when clean through.

And Thomas Tuchel’s side were left to rue that miss shortly afterwards as Aleix Garcia’s exquisite pass released Silva inside the area, and the Spaniard selflessly squared for Aguero to complete an easy finish.

Pulisic looked to have saved Dortmund with the final kick, but Gunn’s three excellent saves handed Guardiola his first success as City boss.

reporters at the end of the hearing today. “The argument

by NADA was that he is not eligible for remission which he has been asking. Narsingh did not produce the relevant circumstantial evidence that there could have been sabotage as had been claimed by them,” he added.

“They filed an affidavit that his drinks or water was spiked but they did not produce the evidence to prove it to satisfy NADA and WADA,” he argued. The wrestler, who has alleged the involvement of fellow grapplers in the conspiracy, has already been replaced by Parveen Rana in the Olympic bound squad but will be reinstated if he gets a favourable verdict from NADA. NADA’s lawyer, how-

ever, today said that Narsingh’s claims of conspiracy are not backed by sufficient proof. “We argued that the requirements of due diligence and care which was needed to escape from punishment was not provided as to satisfy the WADA Code. So we said he should be given punishment as appropriate this panel thinks fit,” Kanth said.

“We also opposed his contention that he was not negligent and had not committed mistake in not taking due care as an athlete. We said as an international athlete he should have taken due care about his food and drinks. But from what he had produced before the panel there was nothing to prove due care on his part,” he added.

Bencic withdraws from Rio Games London, Jul 28 (Agencies): Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic became the latest top 20 player to pull out of the Rio Olympics, just 24 hours after superstar compatriot Roger Federer also announced his withdrawal.

The 19-year-old Bencic, who was forced to withdraw from the second round at Wimbledon with a wrist injury, said she needs to concentrate on getting fully fit for the US Open.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have to withdraw from this year’s Olympics,” world No 16 Bencic wrote on Twitter. “Although I have recovered from the wrist injury that I sustained at Wimbledon, I am behind in my training schedule and therefore not completely ready to take part in Rio. “I will be using the next few weeks to fully prepare with my coach Melanie Molitor for Cincinnati, New Haven and the US Open.”

Kerala Blasters sign Hughes as marquee player Kochi, Jul 28 (Agencies): Kerala Blasters have secured the services of Northern Ireland international defender, Aaron Hughes for the third season of the Indian Super League (ISL). The 36 year-old joins the Sachin Tendulkar co-owned franchise as a marquee.

Hughes, an English Premier League veteran has over 205 league appearances for Newcastle United and close to 200 appearances for London based former Premier Club Fulham. He has also been a key figure in the Northern Ireland national team set-up with over a hundred appearances.

The Cookstown-born six footer arrives a player who has a taste for the big occassions as the Blasters needed. He was part of the Fulham team that carved their way to UEFA Europa League final, in 2010, against Atletico Madrid - only to lose in extra-time.

Hughes also gained his 100th international cap for

the Norn Iron at the recently concluded Euro 2016 tournament, held in France.

His last league stint came in Australia for Manchester City sister club Melbourne City FC. He made six appearances in the A-League. Hughes replaces Carlos Marchena, who was the 2015 marquee

for ISL franchise, although he made just a solitary apperance for the Tuskers.

Earlier this month, the 2014 ISL runners-up signed Steve Coppell as their head coach for season three of the ISL, a widely experienced manager who has managed a couple of Premier League clubs himself.

Muralitharan to be inducted into ICC Hall of Fame Dubai, Jul 28 (Agencies): Former Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is to be inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame later this year.

Muralitharan will be joined by former Australia captain Karen Rolton, Arthur Morris of Don Bradman’s ‘invincibles’ and George Lohmann, the 19th century fast bowler who took 100 wickets in just 16 Tests.

They will be presented with commemorative caps honouring their contribution to the game, with family members representing Lohmann and Morris at the presentations.

ICC chief executive David Richardson congratulated the four, saying, “The ICC Cricket Hall of Fame recognises some of the truly great players from cricket’s long and

illustrious history, and this year’s inductees thoroughly deserve to be in this highly prestigious group.

“Muralitharan has been one of the greats of the modern era. His guile and consistency over the years helped Sri Lanka develop as a very competitive side in both Tests and ODI cricket.

“We have in the list some very famous names of different eras. Lohmann and Morris were outstanding performers during their times and are part of cricket folklore, while Rolton’s performances have been recent and came during an era when women’s cricket became very competitive.”

Muralitharan, whose last international fixture was the World Cup final in 2011, finished his career with 800 wickets in Tests, 534 in ODIs and 13

Muttiah Muralitharan

wickets in 12 T20Is. He was also a big part in Sri Lanka’s ODI successes from 1993 to 2011 and was a member of the squads that won the World Cup in 1996 and shared the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy with India.

Lohmann, an exponent of swing bowling in the late 19th century and rated by his contemporaries as the most

difficult opponent, will be the 27th Englishman in the Hall of Fame list. He raced to 100 Test wickets in 16 matches before tuberculosis shortened his career and he died at the age of 36 in 1901.

Morris, a stylish lefthander of the 1940s and 50s, scored 12 centuries and 12 fifties in 46 Tests between 1946 and 1955 and will become the 22nd Australian to be inducted.

He was the man at the other end when Bradman was out for a duck in his final Test innings at The Oval in 1948 and went on to score 196 in that match.

Rolton, a dynamic allrounder in both Tests and ODIs who is best remembered for her match-winning century in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2005 final, will be only the sixth woman and the third Australian to get onto the coveted list.

“We have had a rigid drug-testing programme, especially leading up to Rio 2016 and all four Russian athletes have been tested in and out of competition and their samples have been analysed outside of Russia,” Thomas Lund, secretary general, said during the draw.

“We believe the information that we have provided on these athletes lives up to the criteria for participation in the Badminton Competition at Rio 2016, but it is left for the IOC to validate.

“We have chosen to keep them in the draw, pending that validation.”

The badminton competition at the Rio Olympics takes place from Aug. 11-20.
