Anomalies in PWD (R&B) Dimapur division: ACAUT

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUN 13 (NPN): Following an RTI filed by ACAUT Nagaland, various anomalies were brought to light in the PWD (R&B) Dimapur division.

T h e RT I f i l e d b y ACAUT sought information on five major roads in and around Dimapur city including— 1. Zion Hospital to Government Primary School, Purana Bazar Toluvi; 2. Khermahal police point to Batacharalli via Friends hall; 3. Khermahal police point to Neisatuo colony to Notun Basti Circular Road; 4. Flyover approach and 5. Dhobinallah to Thahekhu.

According to the RTI replies made by the department, it was stated that the work orders for all the said roads were issued in December 2015 and except work no 5-Dobinallah to Thahekhu which was to be completed within six months from the 7th day of the issue of the work order, the rest four were to be completed within three months from the 7th day of the issue of the work order.

It pointed out that as per Court’s directive; there should be Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) in order to maintain transparency and fair-play. However, ACAUT

‘Terrorism must be eradicated by collective efforts’ ACCRA, JUN 13 (PTI): Terrorism is a scourge which knows no borders and must be eradicated through the collective efforts of the civilised world, President Pranab Mukherjee said here as he expressed solidarity with Ghana which is confronting this challenge.

In his address at the banquet hosted by Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, Mukherjee, who is on a twoday visit, said India has been a victim of terrorism for three decades and shares Ghana’s concern that it has become a global menace. “It is a scourge and knows no borders; it has no ideology except the ideology of wanton destruction. It must be eradicated through the collective efforts of the civilised world,” he said.

While Mahama quoted Mahatma Gandhi and recalled the bond shared between Ghana’s first President Kwame Nkrumah and India’s first PM Jawaharlal Nehru, both founding fathers of Non-Aligned Movement, Mukherjee quoted a poem of Rabindranath Tagore titled ‘Africa’ in his address.

“Today the world order demands global governance structures that are consistent with the new challenges that confront the global community. It is a serious anomaly that India, home to every sixth citizen of the world and Africa, a vibrant hub of the global economy, still remain out of UN Security Council,” Mukherjee said.

This is it!

“How were we to know that a combination of storm and fast running river would bring that bridge down?”

K Y M C

stated that the RTI reply by the department cited that they could not publish the NITs in the newspapers due to shortage of time. This was clearly in violation of the court’s order and favouritism and malpractice in distribution of public work, it said.

It also cited NCSU’s statement demanding all public works should to be floated through tender process.

It further said that if there was time constraint, the department could have given the NIT for short notice tender, which could have been done with 14 weeks.

During spot verification

by ACAUT along with media persons on the above mentioned road, it was alleged that the works were found to be well below the value of the total funds released for the projects.

ACAUT pointed out that except work no 5., the total amount for other works was released even before the contractors could furnish the completion certificate.

ACAUT said that most of the works were yet to be completed even after a span of six months, after the release of the work orders.

It said that the date of release of the work order for work no 5 was December 22, 2015. However, there was

GST rollout from April 1 if law passed: Sinha

no mention of any date for the other work orders, which again signifies that the photocopies of the work order furnished by the department seemed only to appease the RTI applicants, ACAUT stated.

Although the PWD department had been claiming lack of funds, a total of Rs 8 crores was sanctioned for the five works out of which Rs. 6 crores were already released.

ACAUT has urged the concerned minister to take action against the firms that were allotted the works. It also said that the minister should not just wash his hands off by claiming that there was no fund.

Further, ACAUT has requested the concerned department to blacklist those underperforming firms so as to not allocate any more work to them in the future.

While maintaining that when the educated creamy layer of the society residing in cosmopolitan cities like Dimapur and Kohima were robbed off their basic needs, there was no question of any developmental activities taking place in other remote and rural areas.

ACAUT further assured that it would continue to fight for justice and work for the people.

The Raj Bhawan, which received the letter on Monday, handed over the threat letter to the police. The Commissionerate of Police, Bhubaneswar-Cuttack, confirmed the receipt of the threat letter.

“We are examining the letter. If required, the police will register a case in this regard,” a senior police officer told PTI. The Odisha Police contacted its Jharkhand counterpart to ascertain the identity of the duo.

4 chargesheeted in Ritika murder case MLA’s statement attracts flak from NPF DIMAPUR, JUN 13 (NPN): Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Dimapur Police investigating into the sensational murder of Ritika Mehta- proprietor of the Apna Hotel, has filed the chargesheet against four persons.

Addl. DCP & PRO in a press note said that Ritika Mehta was shot dead after miscreants fired upon her inside her establishment on December 14, 2015. “The building where her establishment was located was a subject of dispute following the sale of the property by the stepmother of the victim. The dispute was a matter known widely in the public domain”, police said.

PRO said that the SIT during the investigation was able to gather necessary evidences against the accused persons in the form of physical, documentary and digital evidences. The investigation was also assisted by the Forensic reports in the form of Narco Analysis Test and Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature profiling (BEOSP) conducted upon two accused persons

from the Directorate of Forensic Sciences, Gandhinagar.

On January 9, 2016, PRO said that the SIT arrested one “Motsuthung Ngullie s/o Ntsenthung Ngullie, a resident of Boro Lingrijan”, reportedly a ‘tatar’ of the Lotha Region, GPRN/NSCN. SIT established that Motsuthung party in the conspiracy of the murder, PRO said.

“Incriminating evidences of his involvement in the stages of planning and reconnoiter are found against him,” PRO said.

Later, on January 12, 2016, PRO said that the main conspirator identified as one “Thungkhomo Jungio S/o Nnio”, GPRN/NSCN dy. kilonser was arrested.

“The investigation was also able to establish that he was in receipt of huge sum of money from the members of the family engaged in the dispute with the victim. He had received the money on various occasions with an assurance to have the victim evicted out of the property by any means,” PRO said.

Further, PRO said that the stepbrother of the victim-Tiachungba Ao S/o lt. B.S Sharma, was also arrested and charged with liabilities of the case for being party to the conspiracy ultimately leading to the death of the victim. “He was found to be involved in all dealings and a payment made in connection to the conspiracy and was in knowledge of the plan,” PRO added.

Police also arrested Thechano Ngullie w/o Martoshi Lemtur, and charged with the liabilities of the case for being party to the conspiracy and facilitating the deal between the parties of the conspiracy, PRO said.

The charge sheet filed is exhaustive and lengthy explaining the details of the investigations and its findings into the various angles”, PRO stated.

DIMAPUR, JUN 13 (NPN): NPF Central, Kohima and Women Wing Central, in separate statements on Monday slammed independent legislator N. Thomas Ngullie, a day after he accused State government of not taking any action to prevent influx of illegal immigrants.

NPF Central press bureau ridiculed Thomas for being in stupor and making such “irresponsible” statements just to grab some headlines.

The party maintained that the Dimapur district administration was sincerely working to prevent further inflow and detection and deportation of illegal immigrants.

NPF said it noted that Thomas, who was also former Congress minister, had confessed that Congress was responsible for paving the way for illegal immigrants to penetrate into North-eastern region.

It described the “lone ranger”( Thomas) of going into a “political hibernation” since early part of last year and so could not see the de-

Dr. Nicky calls for addressing issues of CCAs DIMAPUR, JUN 13 (NPN): A policy dialogue workshop on “does Nagaland need a policy for community conserved areas?” under Global Environment Facility (GEF)-Satoyama Project was held in the conference hall of principal chief conservator of forests (PCCF) & head of forest force (HOFF), Kohima on June 13, 2016. The objective of the workshop is to address the need for a policy on community-conserved areas (CCAs) in Nagaland, and to brainstorm on the modalities of developing such a policy including legal, financial and other implications.

In a press release, PCCF & HOFF, M.Lokeswara Rao, stated that the workshop was the first in a series under a CIJapan, GEF-Satoyama sponsored study on “Mainstreaming Community--Conserved Areas for Biodiversity Conservation in Nagaland’ that was being carried out by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) with the support of the Nagaland forest department.

In his inaugural address, Nagaland Minister of forests,

Dr. Neikiesalie (Nicky) Kire, acknowledged numerous challenges faced by CCAs and said local people required incentives to compensate for lost livelihood opportunities as productive landscapes and forests were set aside for conservation. TERI study found that the major challenge faced by 81% of the CCAs was providing alternative livelihood avenues, especially where most of the economic activity in the villages was based upon utilization of natural resources from those CCAs. In the long-term, Dr. Nicky said threatening the viability of those forested areas were the lost revenues from timber production. He said creation of CCAs may lower incomes that previously came from the sale of forest products, and also have associated opportunity costs.

A major issue, he said was foregone benefits from the sale of timber revenues, which has significant implications for the sustainability of CCAs. Since many of the CCAs comprise private or clan

lands, forest minister said owners frequently want those areas returned (particularly as forests improve) for their timber revenues. “These issues will need to be addressed, particularly since 58% of the village councils reported facing financial constraints and 59% reported incursions of the timber mafia,” said Dr.Nicky.

Given that only 11.7% of forests were under the governance of the state, the minister said those CCAs constituted the primary method for forest management and conservation in the state, in many ways on par with the country’s protected area system.

Moreover, he added that those CCAs sequestered carbon worth more than 20 crores annually. Despite their importance, however, there is currently no policy on the community-conserved areas of the state and few funding avenues available, Dr.Nicky said.

To ensure the future of Nagaland’s CCAs and thereby its forests and biodiversity, the minister of forests said a multipronged approach including

alternative livelihood opportunities through the development of ecotourism, ecological restoration, and long-term ecological monitoring was required. However, he asserted that primary importance was the development of a policy on CCAs to buttress state recognition, support and funding of community-managed initiatives in Nagaland.

Giving introductory remarks, J V Sharma, Senior Fellow, TERI, said in Nagaland, traditional conservation and wise-use practices have helped protect biodiversity over the centuries.

He, however, said that escalating pressures on forests for multiple uses has adversely impacted the forests and local people, given their dependence on forest cover for a variety of provisioning and regulating ecosystem services. These livelihood issues form a major impetus for the creation of CCAs in the state to help conserve and protect key ecological interactions and ecosystem services, Sharma said.

velopmental activities around the State.

“It was true that in the last 35 years or so since he entered politics, nothing like this has been seen and that no MLA has ever neglected his Constituency, or avoided attending Government office and stayed away from his colleagues, like our Thomas has been doing for nearly two years”, NPF alleged.

On Thomas’ question as to why the August 3, 2015 Peace Accord was not taken forward, the NPF said Thomas was confused since the “state government was not a signatory to the Accord, and is in no position to take it forward”.

It advised Thomas a “self-proclaimed leader of the people”, to keep himself abreast of the activities of the Parliamentary Working Committee and understand how it has been interacting with the Central leaders as well as leaders of various Naga political groups in the recent past, for an early and honourable settlement of the Naga politi-

cal problem.

NPF also asked Tomas to attend the scheduled meeting of the Nagaland Legislators’ Forum on Naga political issue on June 15 to learn more before “shooting his mouth off and making a fool of himself in public domain”.

On the chief minister, T.R. Zeliang’s educational qualification row, NPF asked the MLA to first consult some legal experts what exactly the word “subjudice” meant.

Reacting to Thomas, who said MLAs were suffering from fear psychosis and do not raise their voice to speak the truth, NPF advised him to get in touch with his colleagues rather than spend his time in 5-star hotels in Delhi or in the “star-facilities at Hotel Vivor, Niathu Resorts or Rio Villa holding on to the hands of his mentors and going on his Quixotic escapades”.

NPF Women respond In another statement, NPF women wing central president, Tonlih Wangsa and general secretary Kerie Pfukha cautioned Thomas to

stay away from NPF internal affairs and to be careful while commenting on the NPF Party matters since he was not even a primary member.

NPF women said that as an MLA, Thomas was expected to raise the issue on illegal immigrants not only in the media but inside the Assembly but unfortunately, he do not attend Assembly session even while it was in session.

O n t h e Fr a m ewo r k Agreement, NPF women asked Thomas about his contribution when all the Naga people were working hard to solve Naga Political issue.

When MLAs were supposed to go to the respective constituency to sensitize the people on the framework agreement and possible solution of the Naga issue, NPF said Thomas was shuttling between Dimapur and Delhi.

NPF women also expressed surprised that instead of doing good for the people, Thomas, who was described as the “most luxurious MLA in the 12th NLA” was only blaming the government.

The JMFC Peren has fixed the hearing of the case on June 14, 2016.

In a petition to the JMFC Peren, the DCC Peren president Aluibe Iheilung expressed hope that justice would be delivered to the people without any further delay.

DCC Peren stated that if justice was not delivered to the people in due to time, the complainant “may have no other option” but seek the intervention of the Supreme Court of India “as is the practice of any other undelivered case by the subordinate courts in the country.”

On April 25, 2016, the Gauhati High Court, Kohima bench transferred the case to the court of JMFC Peren district.

sations on Monday said they have resolved to lift the economic blockade on NH-702 (Longleng-Changtongya road) following an assurance given by the PWD (NH) department and Gayatri-Maytas company that their grievances would be addressed and the road (Longleng-Changtongya) would be continuously maintain till the actual work resumed.

In a joint press release, LDDU president O. Alemtetba Phom, CCI Longleng president B.Shamkai Phom, LTSU president A. Angmau Phom and LTWU president L.Chuba Phom stated that the assurance was made at a consultative meeting with the concerned department led by Lima Ao, superintending engineer (NH) circle 1, Kohima; Chubatoshi executive engineer (NH) Mokokchung division and the representative of M&G company project manager Vinod Kumar Reddy, at DC’s conference hall on June 11, 2016.

They said the manager also gave “full assurance” to

The four bodies have, however, cautioned that on the failure of the company to carry out the maintenance work, they would be compelled to “reinitiate” any course of action till the matters were addressed.

Meanwhile, the signatories said phase-II agitation, which included a 48-hour economic blockade on NH702, closure of government offices, non-movement of private and government vehicles and shutdown of business establishment, culminated on Monday.

The phase-II agitation was peaceful and there was no report of any untoward incidents, they said.

The protest was launched immediately after the expiry 15 days extension allotted to the Gayatri-Maytas company and the concerned department. It was also the result of the company’s inability to fulfil its assurance of deploying sufficient manpower and machineries for the maintenance of the road.

Project director RD Kohima Kevipodi Sophie plants a tree sapling along with JSU golden jubilee committee convenor Zavishio Khieya at the plantation drive conducted by the Jakhama Students Union (JSU) on June 11.

DIMAPUR: Around 500 tree saplings were planted by the Jakhama Students’ Union (JSU) on June 11, with proper fencing along the NH-29 to village, covering the village circular road in view of its forthcoming golden jubilee.

JSU president Kelethuzo Yosa stated that the project was undertaken along with village council, youth society, women society, sanitation committee, churches and Jakhama Union Kohima (JUK) with a strong object to promote and protect environ-

ment in and around the village and also to keep the village clean and green.

During a shor t programme chaired by JSU president an invocation prayer was pronounced by pastor Jakhama Christian Revival Church before commencement of the social work.

It stated that during the planting of a tree sapling, project director RD Kohima, Kevipodi said that it was important to protect and conserve “our” natural resources including air, water, and forests in order

to maintain the overall health of the environment as all of these resources were at a risk, resulting in shortage of water and change of weather.

Convenor of JSU golden jubilee committee, Er. Zavishio Khieya said that “we are failing on our part in replacing the trees that we have cut or cleared” either for development or construction of roads and in order to fight for the menace of global warming, vigorous efforts should be made. He said that activities or developments or businesses which are detrimental to environment should be discouraged.

An environment activist and co-convenor of JSU golden jubilee committee, advocate Kezhokhoto Savi commented that by protecting rivers and their related ecosystems as well as searching for new sources of water, even in the form of preserving trees in the jungles and rocks in the rivers, “we can assure ourselves of a substantial supply of this crucial substance in the future while still protecting important fish and wildlife habitat”.

Savi said that Jakhama village was a blessed village with beautiful and rich natural resources, jungles and the two rivers namely Kehoru and Tsuchoru which were the lifeline of the villagers. He called upon everyone to work together towards protecting the trees especially in the Dzukou road, jungles, mountain and the rocks as these are the main sources for good environment in air and water supply.

SCSU stated that it would be the watchdog to ensure smooth developments in the region.

NEFIS protest over police action on Manipuri tribals NWUM condemns police action on protestors

NEFIS activists staging a protest in New Delhi on Monday.

DIMAPUR, JUN 13 (AGENCIES): North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) along with other organizations Monday protested against Delhi Police at the Police Headquarters at ITO, an NEFIS press release informed on Monday.

It should be noted that on June 7, Manipuri tribal stu-

dents were protesting against the state government at Manipur Bhawan, when Delhi police resorted to lathi-charge on them without any provocation. The role of both Union Government controlled Delhi Police and Manipur Government controlled Manipur Rifles is condemnable, as both the forces cracked-down

on peaceful protesters in a colluded manner. It is a clear manifestation of the ruthless way in which the governments continue to rule over people.

NEFIS said it stands against such brutal attacks on the right of the people to protest and will continue to fight and build a movement against state violence.

Naga Women’s Union (NWUM) vehemently condemned the brutal act of the Manipur Rifles and the Delhi Police on the tribal students of Manipur during a peaceful protest against the three infamous Anti Tribal Bills outside Manipur Bhawan, New Delhi on June 7.

NWU denounced any form of violence and strongly condemned the inhumane and sadistic action meted out to already victimised tribal people of Manipur particularly womenfolk who were molested, indiscriminately thrashed, beaten, kicked and detaining them overnight in the police station.

The act of mercilessly dragging out the badly injured protesters by the so-call security forces even from the hospital is inhumane and barbaric which is not practice even in a war situation.

This is a gross violation of human rights unprecedented in nature wherein the custodian of law in a democratic country behaves like vengeful savages, it said. NWU urged the authority to investigate the matter and award befitting punishment to the culprits so that such acts by the security forces are not repeated in future. NWU prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured persons.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, June 14, 2016

A record 5,546 ousted from CPI-M in Tripura in a year AG A RTA L A , J U N 1 3 (IANS): A record 5,546 persons were expelled and dropped from the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) in Tripura in the past one year, party official Bijan Dhar said here.

“In the past one year, 535 members were expelled from the party and 5,011 whole-time members were either dropped from the party or denied renewal of membership for numerous reasons,” Dhar, who is CPI-M Tripura state committee secretary, told reporters on Sunday evening.

He said despite the ouster of 5,546 people, the membership rose to 91,578 this year, a growth of 2.24 per cent from last year.

Following a decision taken in December at the party plenum, the CPI-M introduced stricter norms for continuance and renewal of membership, said Dhar, a CPI-M central committee member. Women constitute 26.92 per cent of the CPI-M’s members in Tripura, much more than about 10 per cent nationally.

“After the annual renewal of party membership during January to March, around 26.92 per cent of the 91,578 members in Tripura are women,” he said, noting that the state party has always had a better women representation than other states.

At the national level, around 10 per cent of the total of 10.58 lakh members (as per

2015 CPI-M congress data) is women. The women membership of Tripura CPI-M rose to 26.92 per cent this year from 26.49 per cent last year and from 25.76 percent from 2014.

Of the total of 91,578 members, 35.55 per cent are tribals, 19.58 per cent are Scheduled Caste and 22.89 per cent are Other Backward Classes (OBC).

The CPI-M dominated Left Front is in power in Tripura for the past 38 years except for five years from 1988 to 1993.

During 1988 to 1993, a coalition of the Congress party and tribal party Tripura Upajati Juba Samity, led by two successive Chief Ministers Sudhir Ranjan Majumder and Samir Ranjan Barman, ruled the state. Dhar said: “Quality of party members is a big issue for us. Our rectification move is on and this is an endless task. To maintain quality of membership is also a non-stop endeavour.”

Dhar said his party was concerned over the growth of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Indigenious People’s Front of Tripura, Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura and Amara Bangalee in Tripura.

“These are divisive forces and their political work creates division among various communities and ethnic groups, disturbing peace, tranquility and integration among the people,” he said.

Dearest kaka (Lothungbeni) Happy birthday, to our smartest and strongest girl, Kaka You have amazed all of us with your talent and creativity.

Indigenous Manipuri couples prefer large families IMPHAL, JUN 13 (IANS): The more the merrier. That’s what indigenous couples in Manipur believe. So they don’t care much about family planning.

It’s not surprising then that Mutum Sobita, 44, is happy that she’s the mother of 15 healthy children. So is Ningombam Sanahanbi, 54, who gave birth to 13 children. And in both the cases, the children were provided proper care and education. It’s not at all a bleak story here at all despite the high count. These two mothers -- Mutum Sobita of Keinou in Bishnupur district and Ningombam Sanahanbi of Okram Chuthek in Imphal East district -- were awarded on Sunday

at an event held at the Press Club here. There were other recipients too -- 13 in total -- who were awarded with cash prize and citation for being wonderful mothers to their children.

The event was organised

by Iramdam Kunba Apunba Lup (IKAL). But why do indigenous Manipuri families want large families?

Observers here point out that the fear of being outnumbered by non-locals have been prompting these families to notch up the number of children. According to the 2011 Census, population in the state was 27,21,750 of which the non-locals accounted for over 1200,000, government officials told IANS. Unlike other north-

Pul holds class at Government Middle School in Arunachal ITANAGAR, JUN 13 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Kalikho Pul took class of the students of Government Middle School here under Vidyanjali programme launched by the department of School Education & Literacy under union Human Resource Development ministry.

In the half hour class taken by him yesterday, Pul taught the students a lesson titled “Love for your country”, an official release said here on Monday.

The chief minister exhorted the students to study sincerely and try to understand the lessons instead of only memorizing for scoring marks in exam.

“As the pattern of education and competition levels is changing day by day, you should prepare yourselves from the lower level and should abstain from bad habits like consuming tobacco

products,” he advised the students.

He also advised them to maintain discipline and keep themselves away from the influence of bad friends. While interacting with the students, Pul asked them about their ambitions in life and advised them to work hard to achieve their dreams.

He told them that scopes are not only limited to government jobs but there is future in other fields too.

The chief minister along with Education Minister Wanglin Lowangdong and a host of officials also inspected the school after the programme.

Shocked at the dilapidated condition of the school building in the heart of capital complex, Pul asked the Head Master to submit a proposal for renovation of the school building immediately along with inventory of the infrastructures and man power.

eastern states, Manipur doesn’t have the Inner Line Permit system yet. It’s a contentious issue here and that sentiment got reflected in the words of MLA O. Lukhoi who was the chief guest at Sunday’s event.

“People are agitating today and demanding their protection since they have a fear that they will become strangers in their own home state,” Lukhoi said. In 2015 Manipur Assembly had passed three Bills following demands to implement the Inner Line Permit system. While the valley people, predominantly Meiteis, see it as the right step to protect them from the outsiders, the Nagas and Kukis in the hills are opposed to the Bills.

5 arrested students released in Mnp Correspondent IMPHAL, JUN 13: Police on Monday released five members of Kangleipak Students’ Association (KSA) who were arrested on the charge of kidnapping two non-local businessmen without any condition.

Following the development KSA announced calling off all its ongoing and proposed stirs which include among others closure shops and business establishments run by nonlocals and 48-hour bandh.

The five KSA leaders, including general secretary S Bidyananda were arrested by a team of city police from its office while they were parading two non-local businessmen caught red-handed with adul-

terated salt packets selling at their shops in Imphal on May 27. They were charged with section 365 and 368 of IPC for kidnapping and confinement of person(s). They were released after producing in the court of chief judicial magistrate, Imphal West around 1.30 p.m.

CJM Lamkhanpao Tonsing issued an order stating that the FIR lodged against the KSA members was closed.

KSA members and its supporters escorted the release members upto their office at Keishampat Junction where its president Moirangthem Luxman announced calling off all the stirs the student body was launching pressing the authority to release the arrested members.

PM Modi outlines 7-point ‘mantra’ for BJP workers

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP President Amit Shah, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Senior BJP leader LK Advani during the party’s national executive meet in Allahabad on Sunday. (PTI) the party’s political power has grown, this power has to be used for the society,” Jaitley said.

To a question over what was the provocation for Modi to lay down seven point mantra, he quipped, “politicians make well-considered statements, not necessarily under provocations.” At the national executive, the Prime Minister spoke at length about the importance of sensitiveness, saying that it is not with words but with with continuous good behaviour and conduct, one can win over people.

Citing examples like somebody helping others cross the road, Modi said a similar sensitivity can be shown in policies like vaccination of children.

“If we ensure that no child is spared vaccination as it will prevent them from developing health problems, then it is sensitivity,” party sources quoted him as saying.

Jaitley quoted the Prime Minister as saying that India has missed a chance to grow during industrial revolution but has got another such chance now, which if utilized properly will strengthen the nation.

Asked about the Kairana issue, Jaitley said that the party

President had already referred to both Kairana and Mathura issues yesterday and the party has nothing more to say on it.

His remarks came hours after Union Minister Nitin Gadkari dubbed the “migration” of Hindus from the area as bad for democracy and promising proper action after probe by a party team into the matter.

Targeting Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Jaitley dared him to accept the results of 2017 assembly polls as a referendum on law and order in the state under his tenure.

“If he is so confident about law and order here, then BJP is ready to accept the 2017 polls as a referendum on law and order. If this election is accepted as a referendum on 2017 polls, it will hurt Samajwadi Party very much,” Jaitley said.

The Finance Minister also faced questions over the long-pending GST bill in Parliament on which he expressed confidence that the number of those supporting the bill is growing and made it clear that he will approach all parties on the issue including AIADMK to see the bill through.

Modi will not make you Vice Prez of India: Kejriwal to LG

ALLAHABAD, JUN 13 (PTI): Skipping any mention of controversial issues, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked party workers to follow seven mantras, including empathy and restraint in their conduct, and said people are not content with mere slogans but concerned about how the nation is being strengthened.

Delivering his concluding address to the party’s National Executive, which saw its president Amit Shah raising concerns over “migration” of Hindus from a communallysensitive western UP town, Modi made no reference to the controversial issues and instead asked leaders to use power for the benefit of society.

He also invoked Maratha icon Shivaji, saying he did not enjoy the fruits of power despite being a ruler and sarcastically added that the country has on the contrary also seen those who enjoyed the fruits of power without legitimately owning it, a veiled dig at the Gandhi family of the Congress.

The Prime Minister referred to the party’s win in Assam and growth in Kerala and West Bengal and had a word of caution for its leaders and workers.

“We are witnessing his-

ALLAHABAD, JUN 13 (PTI): Asserting that the future belongs to it, the BJP Monday said its fortunes are on the rise, including in east and south India where it did not enjoy significant presence earlier, while that of Congress are on decline which is resorting to compromises with regional parties to survive.

Against the backdrop of Congress joining hands with INLD in Haryana and BSP in several states in the Rajya Sabha polls, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said, “On one hand the graph of BJP and Modi is on the rise while that of the main Opposition party is falling. They were deciding on their policies by compromising with regional parties.”

Addressing a press conference after the party’s National Executive adopted a political resolution, he also raised questions over relevance of Congress in Uttar Pradesh,

tory in the making. We are benefitting from the hardwork of crores of workers for over many decades in building the party. We are in power in the Centre and many states as well.

We should not get affected by this power but think as to how we can use this for the society’s benefit.

“There is a need to strengthen the nation. People are no longer satisfied only with slogans. They are concerned over how the nation is being made strong,” he said.

Briefing reporters about Modi’s speech, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the Prime Minister also laid down seven mantras for party workers to follow in their conduct and policy.

“Sevabhaav, Santulan, Sanyam, Samnway, Sakaratmak, Sadbhavana and Samvad (Service, balance, restraint, coordination, positivity, empathy and dialogue)… The Prime Minister stressed to the workers that all these seven traits should be reflected in their conduct and policy,” Jaitley said.

He had earlier used the word “sadbhavna” (harmony) but later clarified that it was “samvedna” (empathy). “To sum up, the message from the National Executive is that when

Nitin Gadkari which goes to the assembly polls early next year.

He recalled that when the first NDA government was formed, BJP was dubbed as a north Indian party and political rivals were not ready to accept it as a pan-India organisation and referred to its maiden victory in Assam and rise in vote share in Kerala and West Bengal as trends of its growth everywhere. “The coming times belong to the

leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and victory of our party and its ideology. BJP will emerge as a strong option in south and eastern India,” he said, adding that the country’s future and fate will change in future under Modi. Gadkari was also dismissive of a change of guard in Congress for Uttar Pradesh where Madhusudan Mistry has been replaced by Ghulam Nabi Azad as AICC general secretary in-charge for the poll-bound state.

“Those who understand the politics of Uttar Pradesh know how much relevance Congress has there. Both we and you know that. It is up to Congress to make anybody its in-charge. What is the need to take some one seriously, who has no relevance? Let them bring any leader. All of us know what is the position of Congress here,” Gadkari said amid talks of some more changes in Congress UP team.

NEW DELHI, JUN 13 (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Monday took a swipe at Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, saying notwithstanding the “obstacles” put by him at the “behest” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he will never be made the Vice President of India. In an acerbic letter to the LG, Kejriwal took on Jung and Modi for allegedly putting spanners in every small initiative of the AAP government by getting them probed by the Anti- Corruption branch and CBI. “I want you to know that only yesterday the government has inaugurated a 100-seater medical college. I want to request you to ask your ACB team to lodge an FIR and get it investigated. “Kindly also tell Prime Minister Modi to get a raid done on Health Minister Satyender Jain for committing the crime of completing the medical college in a record time,” Kejriwal wrote.

Gulberg massacre: Quantum of sentence for convicts on June 17 NAGALAND

AHMEDABAD, JUN 13 (PTI): A special SIT court Monday said that it will pronounce the quantum of sentence on Friday for 24 convicts of the Gulberg Society massacre in which 69 people, including former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, were killed.

The court of Special Judge P B Desai here said that the quantum of sentence will be declared on June 17, after the prosecution submitted a list of jail terms spent by all 24 convicts, as asked by the court.

Earlier, the court had on June 2 convicted 11 persons for murder and other offences, while 13 others, including VHP leader Atul Vaidya, were charged with lesser offences.

It had also acquitted 36 others in the case. The court had concluded the arguments on quantum of sentence on Friday last week after taking into consideration submissions made by both the prosecution and defence lawyers as well as the lawyer of the victims.

During the arguments, special public prosecutor and

national

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, June 14, 2016

counsel for Supreme Courtappointed Special Investigation Team (SIT), R C Kodekar, had asked the court for nothing less than death sentence or jail term till death for all 24 convicts.

He said all 24 convicts were found guilty of offence under section 149 of the IPC, and therefore required to be treated at par when the sentence is pronounced.

Section 149 states that “every person who, at the time of the committing of that offence, is a member of the same assembly, is guilty of that offence”.

“The manner of crime was cruel, barbaric and inhuman. Victims’ bodies were roasted alive, in the crime for which there was no provocation, much less in case of women and children who were defenceless,” Kodekar had told the court. He also informed the court during the course of hearing that those involved in the ghastly act of killing the residents of Gulberg were either known to them or their neighbours, and not terrorists from other country.

Militant killed after attack on CRPF camp in Udhampur JAMMU, JUN 13 (PTI): Security forces Monday gunned down a militant who targeted a CRPF camp on the JammuSrinagar national highway after a state road transport bus in which he was travelling was intercepted for checking at Kud. Three civilians -- two women and a child -- were injured in the incident in Udhampur district, which falls in Jammu region of the state, police said.

The State Road Transport Corporation (SRTC) bus was on its way from Kashmir Valley to Jammu when it was stopped for checking at Kud, about 170 kms from here.

“Police and CRPF were frisking all the Jammu-bound vehicles at Kral Nallah area in Kud when they stopped an SRTC bus and during its checking, an unidentified suspected militant opened fire at them this evening,” Director General of Police (DGP) K Rajendra Kumar told PTI. In the cross-fire, one militant was killed and one AK-47 rifle and one pistol were recovered from him.

He said it seems only one militant was travelling in the bus.

“It was just the random checking of the vehicles when the police and the CRPF team were attacked, while the militant was gunned down, three civilians including two women and a child were injured in the firing,” the DGP said.

He said while it seems that the attack was carried out by one militant, the security forces cordoned off the area and launched a combing operation to ensure that no other suspected militant was involved in the attack.

“The firing has stopped, CRPF and Police is on the spot and we are carrying a combing operation. Investigation is also on to ascertain the identity of the slain militant,” the state police chief said.

Inspector General of Police (IGP) Jammu, Danish Rana said that one militant has been eliminated even though the search operation is on.

A Congress delegation along with Indian National Lok Dal & Congress supported candidate for Rajya Sabha RK Anand coming out after a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner in Haryana. (PTI) NEW DELHI, JUN 13 (PTI): Congress Monday approached the Election Commission to demand cancellation of the election to both Rajya Sabha seats from Haryana, alleging a conspiracy by BJP-RSS led to the defeat of a candidate backed by the party under controversial circumstances.

A delegation comprising Congress general secretary B K Hariprasad, party’s Haryana unit chief Ashok Tanwar and its legal cell secretary K C Mittal accused the Manohar Lal Khattar dispensation of “misusing” the government machinery to defeat R K Anand.

The Congress leaders and Anand, a well known lawyer, claimed there was no “internal sabotage” that caused the defeat.

INLD, which had originally backed Anand, had alleged that Congress leader and former Chief Minister B S Hooda and BJP were “responsible” for the 14 votes of party MLAs being declared invalid in Saturday’s Rajya Sabha election, leading to the victory of BJP-supported independent candidate Subhash Chandra.

The Congress leaders and Anand accused Chandra,

a media baron, of “playing fraud on the democracy and Constitution” with the help of an independent MLA and some EC officials.

“There was a conspiracy hatched to hijack the elections... We have made a complaint to the Election Commission about the fraud played by Subhash Chandra, Jai Prakash (independent MLA) in the Rajya Sabha election.

“The AICC too has filed its complaint. The EC has heard our side, they will decide the matter accordingly. We have urged them to declare as null and void the entire election process and hold re-polling there,” Anand told reporters after the meeting with EC officials.

Hariprasad said all the Congress MLAs voted for Anand “as per the direction of the party”.

Hariprasad said he, being agent of the party during the polls, had seen votes of all but one MLA. “There was no revolt.

Congress people voted (to the right candidate), it was the conspiracy of the RSS-BJP. This indeed is a conspiracy and deliberate attempt (to defeat Anand). It is a big conspiracy

to wipe out Constitution and election process,” he said.

When asked by reporters whether Hooda did not vote, Hariprasad retorted, “Who told you that Hooda did not vote? He did cast his vote.”

On the pen theory, Anand claimed it was BJP legislator Aseem Goyal who had allegedly switched the pen meant for marking the votes so as to make the 14 Congress votes declared invalid. He alleged that Jai Prakash took away the original pen from the voting enclosure.

When asked why the pen issue was not raised while the election process was on, Anand said, “One will not know such things when the polling is on”.

“We realised about the fraud when we checked the voting pattern. There was no point of Jai Prakash going there (inside the booth) again (twice)... after two of our MLAs cast their votes, he (Jai Prakash) went there again and changed the pen,” Anand claimed.

The votes of 14 Congress MLAs were declared invalid leading to the loss of Anand who was otherwise expected to win.

IAF MiG-27 crashes; pilot ejects safely

JODHPUR, JUN 13 (PTI): A MiG-27 aircraft of the IAF Monday crashed in a residential area of the city, with the pilot ejecting safely.

The aircraft was on a routine training sortie when it crashed at 1130 hours.

“The MiG-27, which had taken off from Jodhpur Air Force Station, developed some technical problem and hit a locked house in Kuri Bhagtasni housing board at about 11:30 AM,” DM Vishnu Charan Mallik said. The plane caught fire after the crash and fire fighters were rushed to douse the blaze. “The pilot ejected safely seconds before the crash,” said Mallik. IAF sources said the pilot had reported a technical problem and sought priority landing.

However, as the engine had failed, he had to eject, the sources said. Defence Spokesperson, Lt Col Manish Ojha, said, “The MiG-27 crashed at 1130 hrs. The aircraft was on a routine training sortie. The pilot ejected safely. A court of

Governor indicts govt

W

hether politicians appreciate or not, the views expressed by Nagaland and Assam Governor P.B.Acharya, pertaining to various issues such as –backdoor appointments, proxy teachers under the Department of School Education, poor performance of government schools in HSLC and HSSLC examinations and irregularities in implementation of central schemes. What the Governor spoke of, are not new but issues that have been plaguing the state since the mid-70s when politicians, who promised change instead began to sow seeds of corruption at various levels.

However, the very fact, that the Governor of a state has come out openly in expressing his serious concerns is in itself, a very significant step. Of course, politicians in power, have lost all sense of probity as they have developed very thick skins over the decades. Politicians represent people and so people are also not above blame. In fact, people should accept moral responsibility for electing those with dubious background. Be that as it may, such a situation has led to growing despondency among public and weakening moral authority in the government. Even the very structures of society has been weakened since existence of corruption in the corridors of power has undermined the forces of law and order besides reducing public morale. Society has been gradually criminalized at almost all levels. It is a widespread problem of a moral abyss afflicting contemporary society because people generally tend to think that power is a license to serve personal, family or community needs above all. Those who take away 70% of the fund as salaries include bogus teachers and perhaps other bogus employees that are believed to exist in various government departments. Thus, the bogus rolls that make up the state’s swindler’s list has to be dealt with appropriately. The bogus teachers list surfaced only after the state education department in 2008 discovered a huge deficit to the tune of around Rs.25 crore in its finance Every development project is made at great cost with hardly any returns. On the issue of helping the government in eradicating anomalies and scams, the ordinary public may not be in a position to verify such anomalies, since they don’t have the means or wherewithal to do so. There are also several scams in the government with regard to diversion or siphoning of funds, some of which had been reported in the media-such as the road and VRS scams but that was the end of it. There are also some allegations made by the public and NGOs on corrupt practices which are also available in the report of the CAG every financial year ending. To assume that more funds for development would be a panacea is not based on facts. The Right To Information Act (RTI)is a good weapon to be used against corruption. The level of awareness on corruption can be complemented to a larger degree through proper use of the RTI Act. At the end of it, unless public themselves are vigilant, the fight against corruption will prove to be a Herculean task. What was sought to be stated, though laced with despondency is an indictment of the fact that the government’s cupboard is full of skeletons with corruption which is systematic and endemic. How development funds have been cornered by some may be seen in buildings, lands and other financial investments.

DailyDevotion Getting There (3) …come, follow Me. —Luke 18:22 Where our individual desire dies and sanctified surrender lives. One of the greatest hindrances in coming to Jesus is the excuse of our own individual temperament. We make our temperament and our natural desires barriers to coming to Jesus. Yet the first thing we realize when we do come to Jesus is that He pays no attention whatsoever to our natural desires. We have the idea that we can dedicate our gifts to God. However, you cannot dedicate what is not yours. There is actually only one thing you can dedicate to God, and that is your right to yourself (see Romans 12:1). If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you— and His experiments always succeed. The one true mark of a saint of God is the inner creativity that flows from being totally surrendered to Jesus Christ.

In the life of a saint there is this amazing Well, which is a continual Source of original life. The Spirit of God is a Well of water springing up perpetually fresh. A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus. Never try to make your experience a principle for others, but allow God to be as creative and original with others as He is with you.

If you abandon everything to Jesus, and come when He says, “Come,” then He will continue to say, “Come,” through you. You will go out into the world reproducing the echo of Christ’s “Come.” That is the result in every soul who has abandoned all and come to Jesus.

Have I come to Him? Will I come now?

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope. ~ Josh Billings

o you experience bloating, intestinal cramps and excessive gas in your stomach often? This could be lactose insensitivity which is a very common reason for digestive problems.

Lactose is a sugar found in milk and milk products.

Lactose should be broken down in your upper intestine by the enzyme lactase. Most people in India have varying degrees of lactose insensitivity, making it difficult for them to digest sugar. But since the pain and bloating differs, people often don’t connect the two.

Technically, as infants, humans produce lactase in our digestive systems and can digest milk. As we enter adolescence the enzyme in the body starts decreasing and with it the ability to break down lactose.

This is natural because milk is for infants and humans are the only animals that drink milk beyond infancy. All Asians and 75% Africans and Caribbeans, 50% Europeans and 35% Americans have degrees of lactose intolerance. The only people who can really digest milk are Northern European whites and Americans of North European descent who have a genetic mutation to deal with lactose. Unfortunately, it was these North Europeans who colonized much of the world and they brought their eating habits with them; which is why America, colonial Africa and Asia started drinking milk.

So, while your background defines whether you can tolerate dairy or not, most governments push milk aggressively, and food manufactur-

ers find milk sugar a cheap ingredient and add it to wide variety of processed products; which is why the largest selling medicine in the world is a lactose digestive.

How sensitive you are depends on how much lactase enzyme your system is still producing. Some people can drink a glass of milk without apparent side effects. Some can have just a spoonful in their tea or coffee or on their cereal and it triggers off a gastric upset.

Why does lactose cause gas and abdominal pain?

When your body does not produce enough lactase in your small intestine, all your milk/ milk products pass through to the large intestine undigested.

Bacteria in your colon love lactose and quickly ferment it. This fermentation creates lots of gas. Due to the high levels of protein in the milk, the gas is very smelly. These extra gases bloat the intestine causing spasms and cramps.

When the pressure from the gas interferes with water absorption in the colon it causes diarrhoea.

Some people experience bloating and flatulence in 15 mins.-2 hrs. after ingesting milk or its products. Gurgling or rumbling sounds in your belly, loose stools or throwing up are common symptoms. While passing wind almost immediately is the best thing to happen, apart from being uncomfortable it is also embarrassing for you - both the smell and the noise are not socially acceptable. Smell has a decisive role in changing mood and it becomes very annoying for people to share your space.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur tuesday, June 14, 2016

Are you lactose intolerant?

Since this is such a common problem, why do most people not realize it. One of the reasons is that since food containing lactose (paneer with vegetables for instance) travels much slower than liquid, it may take hours for the symptoms to appear. You could have eaten something in the morning and end up with gas in the evening without making any connection between the two.

Here is a list of food and drinks that contain lactose.

Milk is obviously the first product that you should avoid, especially cow and goat milk.

All dairy milk, even skimmed milk, has extremely high levels of milk sugar. All protein powders have concentrated lactose. Butter and all cream contain slightly less than milk but enough to cause you trouble. Freshly made cheese- feta, paneer etc. has a large amount.

The harder the cheese, the less lactose it contains. For instance, parmesan will have much less than mozzarella. Ice cream is particularly bad because not only is it made from milk, but manufacturers add extra milk sugars to sweeten it. Good quality curd, made at home and without any flavouring has

the least amount of lactose. But commercial yogurt is simply thickened, sweetened milk with very little beneficial bacteria in it. All yogurts are made with live cultures, but many yogurts go through a process called “heat treatment” that kills the bacteria. Check the label for the words “contains live and active cultures.”. Canned soup has lactose – especially if it is “creamy”. So do packaged savoury snacks, especially if they are cheese flavoured.

Milk chocolate, cakes, puddings, biscuits, doughnuts have lactose, as do premade sauces, gravies and salad dressings like mayonnaise. Breakfast cereals are sometimes made with milk powder or solids and then you eat them with more milk. Bread, baked goods, instant breakfast drinks, instant potatoes, instant soups, pancake, cookie, and biscuit mixes, margarine and salad dressings too. Even processed meats like sausages, luncheon meat have lactose.

Pizza with its combination of soft cheese, bread and perhaps processed meat is the worst thing you can eat. Start looking at labels for the words lactose, milk solids, milk powder, milk protein, non-fat dried milk,

casein, sodium caseinate and whey. Strangely enough, birth control pills, headache tablets and some drugs and supplements also contain lactose. By themselves they are unlikely to have a major effect but if your food is bad, it all adds up.

If you are lactose intolerant, it is far more serious that just cramps, bloating and flatulence. If the colon is constantly deluged by fermenting lactose it can leave the digestive system permanently weakened with harmful bacterial overgrowth and weakened immunity. If you are Indian, take it for granted that you have some level of intolerance. Sometimes the small intestine stops making lactase after a short-term illness such as stomach flu or as part of a lifelong disease such as cystic fibrosis. Or the small intestine sometimes stops making lactase after a surgery to remove a part of the small intestine.

In rare cases, new-borns are lactose-intolerant – this is serious because diarrhoea causes dehydration. Some premature babies have temporary lactose intolerance because they are not yet able to make lactase.

Lactose intolerance increases as you get older.

You need to check out what harm you are doing to yourself. The best way to check this is to avoid eating all milk and dairy products to see if your symptoms go away. If they do, then you can try adding small amounts of milk products to see if your symptoms come back.

here is already a demographic imbalance and threat to Naga’s identity.

The uncontrolled and unrestrained immigration pose a great threat to our state security, demographic balance with the viewpoint of the outsiders becoming a majority community dropping the majority indigenous community of the Nagas to a minority even in our own home land. There is wisdom of powerlessness, nervousness and stiffness amongst the Nagas fearing that the Nagas identity or tribal identity is under severe threat. The situation after arrival of Train to Dimapur is so alarming. The incidence of local girls marrying immigrants is swelling every year and the numbers is going up nowadays.

The immigrants originate with an intension to marry local girls to seek shelter or secure social sanction and establish themselves by buying land, constructing houses and getting white colour jobs. The Immigrants come with an intention to marry local girls to settle and in most cases, they are given Naga names. So, they cannot be detected by the authorities concerned. When they apply for opportunities like jobs, which are meant only for the indigenous people of our state, we face uncountable problems.

Time has come for us to debate on whether the Nagaland Government should discourage Naga women marrying outsiders and they need to pass an order that these women shall not be allowed to inherit any ancestral land property or buy land properties in their names. The Illegal Immigrants particularly the IBI’s

Awake Nagas

are not using family planning methods for birth control although the indigenous population are practicing family planning methods leading to population imbalance. The immigrants are indulging in illegal drug trafficking or any other crime for earning quick money.

The population of Immigrants are increasing by leaps and bounds in Dimapur as the political leaders, GB’s are entirely responsible for fast increase of IBI population in Dimapur. Many of our Political Leaders in Dimapur/ Nagaland use the immigrants as vote banks. I have personally seen some Ministers dancing with lean and thin ugly looking immigrants in their own constituencies. They supported and assist the immigrants in getting ration cards, BPL cards, driving licence, Voter ID, Birth certificate etc. They even helped them in purchasing land or owning shops. Many IBI’s came to Dimapur with ration cards, driving license, birth certificates issued by the Government of Assam. No wonder Assam is now called: the “Exporter of Foreigners”. So our security system cannot identify them as foreigners and the same practice is being carried in Dimapur also.

The Police, Administration, GBs, Politicians is overprotective to the migrants. For instance, If there is a quarrel or little bit of violence involving at Hazi park and New Market area, our own Naga brothers immediately appears out of nowhere and start harassing our own Nagas whether right or wrong. They allow themselves to be used by outsiders and it is such a shame to see those Chamchas

to IBI’s.

In general, we Nagas do not want to work as domestic helpers, rickshaw pullers, Cart pullers, cobblers, barbers, garbage collectors, mason, Plumbers etc. Jobs that are generally unattractive to the natives are being occupied or booked by the immigrants. So there is always a vacuum, which can be filled by migrant workers at cheaper rate. When the BRO or any outside contractors come to work in Nagaland, they bring hundreds of labourers. These labourers never return to their home states even after completion of the specific task. We Nagas are lazy and the easy availability of jobs and better economic prospects attract immigrants to Dimapur. Migrants are more hard working. They do not enjoy Sundays and Holidays where we Naga Manu are enjoying not only Sundays and Holidays but also all festivals, making ourselves more undependable and unreliable.

Since the migrants also charge less, local contractors also prefer to employ them. Such scenarios pave the way for large-scale immigration. However this practice should be stopped by our own people and instead encourage our local youths to take up such jobs.

Moreover, the Dimapurians are becoming increasingly dependent on the immigrants.

There is also an absence of any law for regulation of internal migrants in Dimapur and effective implementation of Foreigners act must be applied immediately by the state government. The immigrants should not be allowed to purchase land without government permission.

A special temporary work permit for the specific trade should not be encouraged rather a seminar or workshop programme about “Dignity of labour” must be conducted by the state government to encourage our youngsters to fill up into those space and all the departments responsible for issue of ration cards, BPL cards, Electoral or Voter ID, driving licence should be trained and alerted.

On July 10, 2009, Nagaland home minister Imkong Imchen stated on the floor of the state assembly in Kohima that a total of 75,807 ILPs were issued in 200809, and the total amount collected was Rs 2,024,690. In 2007-08, the number of permits issued was 76,268, with the total amount collected being Rs. 2,157,345.

However, he admitted that the state did not have any mechanism to check if people coming in through this permit ever left the state or not. An overwhelming majority of the intelligentsia (94.28 per cent) in Nagaland is felt that the ILP had not been effective at all. Dimapur had the largest non-Naga workforce followed by Kohima. The construction sector had the highest. More than 50% of this income goes to their own states. Now all sections of the Naga people are increasingly getting worried that unabated immigration will become a major economic, demographic and political problem. Their apprehension is that this may lead to loss of land and damage to Nagas and tribal cultural identity. This is matter of great importance and great consequences.

Why has Modi mooted for early solution to Naga issue

B

harat Karnad, a strategist and was a member of a National Security Advisory Board, was once known to have assumed that the United States has a ‘nursery’ for growing great powers while underscoring India’s effort in early alignment with the United States’ geopolitical strategy. He is known for his antithetical viewpoint to the ideals of India’s first PM who stood firm on ‘soft state’ policy, and arguing that nurturing a great power is, inter alia, the “use of both soft power and hard power to expansively mark its status in the external realm”.

To say that his strategic thinking has categorically given effect to a paradigm shift in respect to foreign policy of the current Modi government is a time factor, yet it is hardly deniable that NDA’s brand ‘Act East’ has timely paralleled with America’s ‘Pivot to Asia’. This common interest in Southeast Asia has brought the two former not-so-friendly nations to a common calculated platform, which is unprecedented and unanticipated.

It is unprecedented as the self-proclaimed Non-Aligned nation, India, has never been into any military alliance with any groupings nor involve in geopolitical game which contribute to destabilizing an established government. Further, it is unanticipated because the leader of the Non-Aligned Group has strayed from its principled stance to militarily flourish a nexus with elite forces. Either ways, the real intent of such a shift in foreign policy and, essentially, a more pragmatic participation in military exercises lies in its attempt to pose itself an emerging superpower.

Having learnt a lesson from the 1962 episode, India is treading cautiously

in designing its claim to be a would-be superpower. Adding to its ostensible military vision for possible alliance is the availability of options at its knees for remedy in case of any fall-out. It may be recounted that the then National Security Advisor to the NDA government under Vajpayee hinted at a possible formation of a Washington-Tel Aviv-New Delhi axis in the international affairs. The audience is of the opinion that the current political dispensation is implementing this vision into a reality.

Growing weary of China and its presumptuous rise in both military and economic arenas, also facing with uneasy relationship with its neighbors surrounding to the east through north and till west, India has to reluctantly re-orient its foreign policy to look to some great powers to rebalance the disadvantages it get and check the advantages that accrued to the regional rivals at the expense of its soft approach. Thus, the foundation of the US-India relationship was envisaged in 2005 when the 123 agreement was signed known as the Indo-US nuclear deal. Though, the previous government stopped short of meeting certain options advanced by the US, the NDA government has seized an opportune time by walking an extra mile in forging the relationship to a new horizon.

The NDA regime has cleared itself of doubts to be a military partner of the United States as contemplated in the announced logistic support agreement (LSA) to be signed between the two countries shortly. Under this agreement, the US Army would be allowed to have access to India’s air, land and naval bases and vice

versa. In addition, work for preparatory work on site in India for six nuclear reactors to be built by an American company will also commence very soon.

Not coincidental, India followed the steps of the United States vis-à-vis Vietnam where the latter had recently lifted the arms sales ban on Vietnam in line with Obama’s signature foreign policy of rebalancing Asia-Pacific. India and Vietnam signed a Joint Vision Statement on defence cooperation for 2015-2020 in 2015. Accordingly, a $ 100 million line of credit was okayed for Vietnam mainly for defence procurement. Vietnam’s readiness for Brahmos missiles could be next as Russia, the co-developer of the missile, gave a green signal to India for sale as Russia was previously edgy.

Despite a major breakthrough in heralding a novel concept in India’s presence in international affairs, Modi isn’t successful yet. The question of morality in ensuring country’s greatness, the issue of economic and social disparities backed by underdevelopment and most importantly the separatist and revolutionary movements extended its arms across the country that stood in Modi’s way.

Dubbed as the mother of all political movement in the Northeast, Naga National Movement (NNM) has offered Modi with a complex-stricken action-oriented dialogue as he already has it at his finger’s end that a mono-pronged approach would dearly cost his ambitious Act East. Premised on the following considerations, the Modi government is devising an early solution to the protracted Naga political problem.

test, you need to avoid certain foods, medicines and cigarettes.

On the day of the test, you will drink a liquid that contains lactose and then breathe into a machine several times over a couple of hours. If the hydrogen levels in your breath are high, you may have lactose intolerance. The other test is the Lactose tolerance test. This test measures your blood sugar after you eat or drink lactose.

After midnight on the night before the test, you should not eat or drink anything. On the day of your test, you will drink a liquid that contains lactose, which may cause gas or pain in your belly. Then your blood will be tested every 30 minutes for 2 hours. If your blood sugar levels do not rise, you may be lactose-intolerant. You may also be asked to bring in a sample of your faeces. The faeces of a person who has lactose intolerance is usually loose or watery and foamy.

There is no cure for lactose intolerance. But you can treat your symptoms by replacing milk products; with soy milk/cheese. If you are worried about getting enough calcium, you can easily get it from all greens, bhindi, broccoli, saag, almonds, and all soyas. You can use non-dairy creamers in your coffee. If you cannot bear the thought of life without milk, ice cream, cheese and pizzas you can take lactase supplements of which the best known is Lactaid 9000 Fc. You need to take these pills just before your lactose based food. The capsules start at 1000 FC for those with slight insensitivity. But pills always have their own fallout.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Who is a nonindigeneous Naga?

Referring to the article “Naga Hoho opposes Transfer of Land Ownership to Non-Nagas “appeared on 10th June 2016 in local papers, I would like to express my views on the applicability of the term. To my understanding, the term Indigenous Inhabitant of Nagaland is supposed to be citizens who possess Indigenous Certificates from office of the Deputy Commissioner of any district of Nagaland.

If the Hoho is strictly to oppose acquiring of land by a non-Naga, it should also cover the Nagas from Manipur, Assam or Arunachal who are purchasing land mostly in Dimapur district. Many non-Indigenous Naga villages and colonies have been established in plain areas of Nagaland who definitely do not hold any legal documents to claim as indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland. Restriction of acquiring land should not be only to the Plain people but the fatality should include the Nagas who hails from other neighboring states of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal as well. A NonNaga can be a Naga from other states living in Nagaland.

Can a Naga of neighboring State be exempted because he is a Naga by blood? Or is there any relaxation for those Nagas who are from other states are Nagas by blood? If not, the law of the land should be at par with other Non-Nagas as per legality of the term till such time we come together as a Naga in one State. The Naga Hoho may examine the Act and come up proper guidelines. It is not that we hate our Naga brothers who hail from other states but till the Act is relaxed, the rule should be applicable to the defaulters irrespective of blood or caste or creed. Clear cut directives should be make known to all the concerned to be aware of the consequences issued by the Hoho.

Rahul vows to end drugs menace; hits out at Akalis

JALANDHAR, JUN 13 (PTI): Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi Monday promised to end the drugs menace in Punjab if the party comes to power in 2017 Assembly polls in the state by bringing in a new law.

Hitting out at the 9-years old SAD-BJP government in the state, Gandhi accused the Akalis of “protecting” drugs trade and said there was “ease in doing only one business in Punjab which is of drugs”.

Gandhi also lambasted the Akali dispensation for unemployment in the state.

Leading a dharna against the drugs menace and “deteriorating” law and order situation in the state, Gandhi asked people to be beware of the “dangerous enemy” which was “ruining” their lives, and promised to bring the state back on track.

“Amarinder Singh ji said he will take one month to end the drugs problem when Congress comes to power.

Why did he say so. If you have to eliminate the drugs problem, then you will have to give power to the police.

“You will have to put right officers on the job and remove inefficient ones and this work is not being done

by Akali Dal. When you do this job and you end the nexus of police and Akali Dal, then the drugs problem will be addressed in one month,” Gandhi said.

“Those who have made

money, big houses and robbed the youth of their money from this drugs trade, we will get that money back (from them) and return it to you. We will bring a law and deploy the police in the right manner to stop the menace,” he said.

He also took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.

“Modi ji and Badal ji talk about ease of doing business. Punjab has only one business where there is ease and that is drugs business.

That business is protected by Akali Dal,” he said.

“There is no shortcoming in Punjab police. Jawans here had fought against terrorism ... But the Akali Dal government has put good officers who want to work on ‘Khudeline’ (unimportant) job. The government asked them not to work and empowered the wrong officers,” he said.

He said when he raised the issue of drugs problem four years back, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal made fun of him.

On the controversy surrounding film ‘Udta Punjab’, which highlights the drugs problem in the state, Gandhi said, “Udta Punjab is being banned here. Today again, they are not ready to admit the truth, because they are benefiting from this. Everyday they benefit from this

national/state

truth, from drugs and lawlessness in Punjab. Akali Dal and its leaders are benefiting from this.” “If Punjab wants a future, then it will have to eliminate drugs problem from the state. There is no other solution to this. Another matter has come to light. On the one side there is a problem of drugs and, on the other side there is a problem of law and order and unemployment,” Gandhi said.

He also vowed to restore the money made by drug dealers to the victim families.

Noting that Punjab’s future has been “destroyed”, Gandhi asked the people of the state to accept the reality of drugs in the state.

“The hands and feet of Punjab’s youth are chained and without breaking these chains, Punjab cannot move forward. Punjab’s people will have to accept this truth and only then we can wage a war against drugs. Nothing will happen by hiding it. Punjab has the strength to recognise this truth as its people work with honesty and so does the Congress party,” Gandhi said.

“I want to tell you that when Congress comes to power (after next elections), we shall fight against drugs the way we fought for Bhatta Parsaul, the way we sent back ordinance (on land acquisition) thrice,” Gandhi said.

“Industrialisation which

used to happen here, farmers who used to speak loudly, we shall bring that time again.

We shall fight your MSP battle and we shall win it,” he said.

Recalling the Bhatta Parsaul incident, Gandhi said when he raised the matter, people made fun of him.

“When farmers in Bhatta Parsaul came to me, they told me about their pain.

People made fun of me at that time and said why did you go to Bhatta Parsaul. I remember, they said nothing had happened in Bhatta Parsaul.

“There was a truth in Bhatta Parsaul and farmers were feeling the pain. I fought for them and in the end, we got the Land Acquisition Bill,” he said.

“Farmers know who fought for them, who did not.

Modi Ji made a promise on MSP and farmers know what is the truth,” he said.

“It is easy to speak but you ask farmers of Bhatta Parsaul who fought the battle and who brought the Bill and who stopped ordinance and with whose support, it was stopped,” he said talking about the agitation he led in Uttar Pradesh against alleged forcible land acquisition.

He said the youth of Punjab had come to him and shared their pain about drug problem in the state, saying, “our future is being ruined”.

Lalu attacks BJP, alleges Giriraj’s closeness to Bachha

PATNA, JUN 13 (PTI): Seeking to turn the tables on their opponents, RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav have released a photograph of Union Minister Giriraj Singh with Bihar toppers muddle kingpin Bachha Rai to show their proximity.

Lalu Prasad and Tejaswi Yadav released the photograph on the former’s twitter account and sought to know the “truth” from BJP. “What BJP got to say on it? Remember crores of rupees were recovered from this minister’s house, whose money it was?” the RJD supremo said in his tweet.

His son and the Deputy Chief Minister also joined in the attack on Singh, Union Minister of State for MSME and MP from Nawada.

“The main culprit (Bachha Rai) has cordial relation with a central minister who regularly joins his college functions to distribute prizes to toppers,” Tejaswi tweeted.

“All malpractices of dis college wre tking place probably by his encouragement.

ModiJi’s Minister wanted to open a Medical college with culprit,” he alleged.

Bachha Rai, Secretarycum Principal of the controversial Vishun Roy College in Vaishali district, is said to be the main culprit in the Bihar Intermediate merit muddle which drew a lot of flak for the state across the country.

Rai was arrested last Saturday. Controversial Arts and Science toppers Ruby Rai and Saurabh Shrestha respectively, hailed from Bachha Rai college.

Dr.Nicky calls for addressing issues of CCAs (From p-1)

He maintained that the revival of traditional conservation and forest management practices through the creation of CCAs, offers hope for forest protection and biodiversity conservation, as communities set aside parcels of forests within productive, jhum (shifting cultivation), landscapes.

A study of Nagaland’s CCAs conducted by TERI and the forest department of Nagaland found that almost one-third of Nagaland’s villages have constituted CCAs and as many as 82% of these 407 CCAs have completely or partially banned tree felling and/or hunting within the CCAs, and enforce various regulations for forest protection (TERI, 2015).

These CCAs which cover more than 1700 sq. km, by setting aside forests for conservation, also contribute extensively to carbon storage (an estimated 120.77 tonnes per ha (TERI, 2013), reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation, and are an important mitigation and adaptation strategy for climate change.

Earlier, in his opening remarks, Neihu C.Thur, commissioner & secretary, department of forests, ecology environment and wildlife, spoke about the community conservation areas and its importance and growing pressure on CCAs. Keynote address was given by Dr S K Khanduri, IG Forests (Wildlife), ministry of environment, forests and climate change. He emphasized the need for resources to not only strengthen the efforts but also to sustain the ecological,

economic and social benefits accruing from the CCAS. He clarified the weightage of 7.5% to forests in the 14th Finance Commission calculations for devolution of central resources is only the beginning of recognition of the state of forest in the economy. Evolution of models and a policy on CCAs is needed to integrate community level conservation with sustainable forest management in Nagaland, he said.

I. Panger Jamir, additional principal chief conservator of forests, Government of Nagaland, welcomed the gathering.

Dr Pia Sethi, Fellow, TERI, gave introduction to the GEF-Satoyama project: Background, objectives & expectations. A recap of TERI’s work on Community-Conserved Areas in Nagaland by Siddharth Edake, Associate Fellow, TERI. Community representative (Sendenyu/Sukhai/ Khonoma/SriY.Nuklu Phom, Secretary Phom Baptist church Association) have given Perspectives on CCAs. Tokaho, DFO, Zunheboto spoke about challenges in initiating CCAs. Later, there was discussion/question answer session taken by M Lokeswara Rao, PCCF & HOFF, and all participants gave their inputs. Concluding remarks were given by Dr J V Sharma, Senior Fellow, TERI and M Lokeswara Rao. Vote of thanks was given

by Temjen Yabang Jamir, CF(Pub).

Officials from TERI, all forest officers, community representatives, and NGOs attended the workshop.

Prez rejects Delhi govt bill on Par Secy issue

NEW DELHI, JUN 13 (PTI): In a jolt to Delhi’s ruling AAP government, President Pranab Mukherjee has refused to give assent to a legislation that protects 21 party MLAs, who have been appointed Parliamentary Secretaries, and face the prospect of disqualification.

Petitions have been filed with the President seeking disqualification of these MLAs on the ground that they occupied office of profit violating constitutional provisions. Acting as a quasi judicial body, the Election Commission to whom the President referred the issue, had sought replies of the MLAs. The Delhi Government had sought an amendment to the Delhi Members of Legislative Assembly (Removal of Disqualification) Act, 1997.

“All that Congress cares is about the people having lots of money and muscle power,” he said.

SAD secretary and spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema said the appointment of Nath was the outcome of Rahul Gandhi’s recent visit to the state and asked the Congress vice president why he still follows the Gandhi family policy of “protecting and promoting” the perpetrators of the 1984 riots.

He claimed it was a fact that Nath had been indicted by the Nanavati Commission and that a witness had testified to seeing Nath leading an armed mob that attacked Rakabganj gurdwara.

MP G Vivek, and his brother and former minister G Vinod, both sons of late Congress leader and former Union Minister G Venkataswamy, also announced their decision to join the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.

CHANDIGARH, JUN 13 (PTI): AAP and SAD Monday tore into Congress for appointing Kamal Nath as the party’s general secretary incharge of Punjab with Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal terming it as “the ultimate insult to Sikhs”.

“It is an unbelievable brazen act of insensitivity towards Sikhs and crass and vulgar disregard of national opinion on the guilty of the massacre of thousands of innocent Sikh children, men and women by Congress goons in November 1984. I just cannot believe a political party can be so brutally insensitive to the sentiments of Sikhs,” Badal said.

“I am shocked that the Congress high command is going to these heights to rub salt into Sikh wounds while at the same time enacting the drama of putting up a show of prime ministerial repentance over its sins. Are these signs of genuine repentance or adding fresh insult to old wounds?” he said.

Hitting out at Congress, H S Phoolka, an advocate fighting for the victims of the 1984 riots, said by appointing Nath as the Congress in-charge of Punjab, the party has tried to rub salt into wounds of the victims. “...On November 2, 1984 a national daily reported that Kamal Nath was leading the

The differences among party leaders are hurting Congress in the state, he claimed.

The need to work for development of Telangana is a major motivation to take the decision, he said, adding that he would not hesitate to quit as Member of Parliament.

Congress won only two Lok Sabha seats in the state in the 2014 elections. The other Congress MP is Nandi Yellaiah from Nagarkurnool constituency in the state.

Penal powers for Trai not a solution to call drop issue: DoT New Delhi, Jun 13 (PTI): Amid intense lobbying by mobile operators against giving more teeth to regulator Trai, Telecom Secretary J S Deepak on Friday said penal powers cannot be the “one and final solution” for call drop and the firms have committed Rs. 12,000 crores to install new towers to check this problem.

After its earlier direction asking telecom firms to pay consumer for each dropped call was quashed by the Supreme Court, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has asked the government to amend laws to give it powers for imposing fine of up to Rs. 10 crores on operators and jail term of up to two years for their executives. Deepak said the government will “take a view” on Trai’s demand for more powers, but in his “personal opinion” a person cannot be sent to jail “for every call drop”.

Mobile operators, who had challenged Trai’s earlier

India world’s fastest growing economy: BJP A l l a h a bad, J u n 1 3 (IANS): Having inherited a “very bad economy” amidst global slowdown and two successive years of drought, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi India has emerged as the fastest growing economy, the BJP said on Monday. “India has emerged as a bright spot in a world in recession, in which most of the nations are facing a slowdown and decline in growth. Economic experts, think tanks, multilateral institutions and reputed media have acknowledged India’s growth story,” a resolution passed at the BJP’s National Executive meet here said.

“India’s GDP had grown to 7.2 per cent in the year 201415 and 7.6 per cent in 2015-16.

It is significant to note that last quarter witnessed GDP growth rate of 7.9 per cent,” the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) resolution said. “Despite severe resource constraints, we could achieve fiscal deficit of 4.1 per cent and 3.9 per cent in the year 2014-15 and 201516 respectively,” the resolution added. India received “an unprecedented amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the calendar year 2015,” it said.

“Increased capital spending in infrastructure development, increased credit for agriculture and small industries” has facilitated India’s fast growth, the resolution said.

“This has increased domestic growth and domestic consumption. Indian consumer spending increased from 6.2 per cent in 2014-15 to 7.2 per cent in 2015-16,” the BJP resolution said. Notably, some economists and newspaper columnists have questioned the growth figures flaunted by the government, putting them a few notches lower than officially claimed.

direction on call drops before Supreme Court, are opposed to this idea as well and have termed such powers as ‘draconian’.

Responding to Trai’s demand, Deepak said, “Business as usual cannot happen (after this). I am not sure penal power will be one and final solution to this. In my personal opinion I do not agree that for every call drop a person has to be sent to jail. That’s my personal view. It is more sophisticated and more difficult. But we will take a view on what Trai has said.”

The secretary said that mobile operators have committed to install 60,000 towers to improve service quality.

“Government believes in the telecom sector. The quality of service must improve and industry has responsibility.

They have committed 60,000 towers. Each tower cost about Rs. 20 lakhs which is around Rs. 12,000 crores. The industry will make this investment in

next three months,” Deepak told reporters after his first review meeting with industry players.

Representatives of all telecom operators, including Bharti Airtel chief for India and South Asia Gopal Vittal, Vodafone India head Sunil Sood, Idea Cellular CEO Himanshu Kapania and Reliance Jio Infocomm MD Sanjay Mashruwala, were present at the meeting. Each operator presented his 100-day plan for improving service quality and raised issues hampering improvement in the networks.

Call drops have been a major concern for over a year now and the situation has failed to improve despite involvement at the top level for several past months. Most of the mobile service providers have frequently failed in quarterly sample call drop tests conducted by Trai but operators have contested the results saying that they comply with benchmark set by the regulator.

Govt plans to ease process for importers New Delhi, Jun 13 (Agencies): To push its ‘Make in India’ drive, the government will soon be announcing a scheme to extend single port clearance, deferred duty payment and relief from routine checks for select importers.

The finance ministry is uniting and expanding the scope of two existing programmes for importers, the Accredited Clients Programme (ACP) and the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) scheme. It will extend direct port transfers, allowing members to move their cargo as it arrives at a land or sea port to a warehouse without checks. “The framework has been finalised, after consulting the industry. It is aimed to significantly cut time and cost for importers and boost domestic production,” said a ministry official.

Only members of the revamped scheme will be eligible for deferred payment benefits.

The new scheme will have a benefits matrix, extending most of the benefits, including assured clearance from ports, to direct manufacturers in India.

“We will divide a month into two. Importers in the revamped AEO scheme and bringing in shipments by the 15th of a month will get to make payments by a particular date of the second fortnight.

Similarly, those bringing in consignments during the second fortnight will have to make payments by a specified date at the beginning of the second month,” said an official, who did not wish to be named. “The move will significantly help importers with cash flows.”

Members will be graded on compliance history. “Those in the business for long and dealing with non-sensitive countries will be rated a higher

grade of low risk,” said the official. “Importers can keep the transporter ready at the port ahead of the arrival of the cargo and plan their inventories better without a lag.”

An AEO programme offers members reduced examination and inspection, higher facilitation than ACP clients, and acceptance of pre-arrival import declarations. Only about 18 entities so far have AEO status in India. The ACP Programme, begun in 2005, has about 300 members; 13 per cent of imports are through this route.

The government is aiming that at least 40 per cent of imports occur through the revamped programme, with at least 1,000 members. The US has 11,000 members as part of an AEO programme.

The gover nment will probably do away with the eligibility criterion of Rs 10 crore of imports in the earlier financial year, to encourage medium and small enterprises to be a part of this scheme.

“Under the revamped scheme, there will be no value thresholds. Minimum documentation will be required,” he said. While manufacturers will be given preference, traders will not be barred.

“Entry norms were tough under the earlier scheme and not many could qualify. We’re easing the minimum import norms, without making the scheme weak. Those with doubtful credentials will not be allowed to join,” said another official.

The Central Board of Excise and Customs is holding consultations with other government departments, to come on board and mutually recognise imports, and opt for only risk-based assessment for member-importers.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur tuesday, june 14, 2016 business Privatise unlisted GST rollout from April 1 if law passed: Sinha PSUs: NITI Aayog N e w D e l h i , J u n 1 3 to be passed.

New Delhi, Jun 13 (Agencies): NITI Aayog, which has been tasked with preparing a road map for disinvestment, feels the government should privatise unlisted public sector companies, instead of divesting shares once they are listed. While the large PSUs are listed, smaller ones remain wholly owned by the government. In addition, several subsidiaries of large staterun firms are yet to be listed, potentially opening the door for the government to tap into these entities. NITI Aayog, which is also identifying sick state-run companies for closure, has identified around 25 PSUs that need strong intervention for revival. But the bot tom line is that the revival should not hinge on sale of land or other assets. “Companies should only be revived if they are viable and they have a business plan that can sustain them in the future,” said a source.

At the same time, NITI Aayog believes that the PSUs which are unviable should be immediately shut down so that they do not remain a burden on the exchequer.

(PTI): Targeting April 2017 for the rollout of Goods and Services Tax, the government is betting on support from smaller regional parties to pass the national sales tax legislation in the Parliament session from next month, and expects approval for supporting laws by year-end.

GST was earlier planned to be introduced from April 1 this year, converting 29 states into a single market through the new indirect tax regime, but the deadline was missed as the bill to roll it out remains stalled in the oppositiondominated Rajya Sabha.

“If we can pass it in the monsoon session (of Parliament beginning next month), then we can implement it in April 1, 2017,” Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha told PTI. The government has enough backing from smaller regional parties to pass the Bill in Rajya Sabha without support from the main opposition Congress party, he said.

Congress, which first proposed the constitutional

pass another bill to implement the GST, Sinha said.

“First the Constitution Amendment will have to be ratified by 50 percent of the state assemblies, then the GST Bill will be passed by all the state assemblies,” he said.

After the Constitution Amendment Bill is passed in Parliament, there are three more legislations - Central GST (CGST), State GST (SGST) and Integrated GST (IGST) - which are required

“Of course, there is a complicated legislative calendar that we have to work through.

Then there are implementation issues which are working, but we feel that we can get all of that done in time,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers will deliberate on the model GST law at a two-day meeting in Kolkata beginning tomorrow.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will participate in the meeting and try to iron out differences with the states over the new regime.

The GST bill -- which will help create a single national sales tax to replace several state and central levies -- has already been approved by the Lok Sabha or Lower House of Parliament and is pending in the Upper House where the government doesn’t have a majority.

Sinha hoped to get support of most of the parties on GST Bill so that it is passed with national consensus.

Govt-to-govt contract plan to import pulses

SBI Life Insurance eyes 30-40% growth in new business premium

LG unveils Next-Gen audio system in India

Bengaluru, Jun 13 (PTI): Government-to-government contract is being planned to import pulses to bridge the supply-demand gap and maintain stability of prices, Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan today said.

The situation of pulses is now under control and month on month their prices have gone down, he told reporters here.

“There is a gap between demand and supply. This year our production is 170 lakh tonnes, last year it was 171 lakh tonnes, before that it was 173 lakh tonnes.

“On the demand side it is increasing 10 lakh tonnes per year. This year it will be 246 lakh tonnes,” he said.

The minister said the central government has worked out a strategy to mitigate the shortage of pulses and maintain the stability of the prices.

He said there would be a gap of over 76 lakh tonnes. In this case, private importers may import only 60 lakh tonnes. For the rest, the government has planned to have governmentto-government contract to fill the gap. “Our team will go to Myanmar and other countries for this.”

Paswan said the government has also maintained a buffer stock, for which it has already purchased 1,13,000 tonnes of pulses.

State governments have also been asked to purchase pulses (for retail distribution).

“We are providing them tur dal at Rs 66 per kg and urad dal at Rs 82 per kg. The strategy that we have made has resulted in price stability,” he added.

On sugar prices, Paswan said in the last few months it has gone up and to mitigate this, government has taken various steps.

Kolkata, Jun 13 (IANS): SBI Life Insurance is eyeing to achieve a growth of 30-40 per cent in the new business premium in 2016-17, a top company official said.

“We are targeting to achieve 30-40 per cent growth in new business premium in the current fiscal and intending to grow by 25-26 per cent in the gross total premium including new and old,” said company’s Managing Director and CEO Arijit Basu.

The life insurer will remain focused on banking and agency channel to achieve the growth, he said.

The company achieved 29 per cent growth in total new business premium in 2015-16 and 37 per cent growth in the rated Individual new business premium as compared to 8 per cent for the industry, he said.

“This was attributed to performance of banking and agency channel. Sales through agency channel grew by 12-13 per cent in the last year while banking channel also had a fantastic growth,” Basu said.

“We intend to grow by 20 per cent in the current fiscal in agency channel while our banking channel growth is expected to over 50 per cent,” he said.

The life insurer will strengthen its banking channel by increasing the number of licensed specified persons who are SBI staffs having licence to sell life insurer’s product.

“We have about 28,00030,000 specified persons adding 3,000 in the last year. We will increase the number,” he said.

Banking channel contributes about 55 per cent of

Nokia signs $1.5bn framework deal with China mobile

EPFO may soon allow members to contribute for pension scheme

Helsinki, Jun 13 (Agencies): Nokia has signed a 1.36 billion euro ($1.5 bln) one-year framework deal with China Mobile, the Finnish company said on Monday, easing fears that it would lose market share while it merges operations with Alcatel-Lucent.

Shares in the company were up 0.2 percent as of 1120 GMT versus a Helsinki bourse down 1.42 percent.

Nokia’s network equipment sales fell more than expected in the first quarter as buyers held off due to the Alcatel integration process.

China Mobile is Nokia’s biggest customer in China.

Amazon, Filpkart, Snapdeal Rupee tumbles 38 Government drafting separate top 3 sites for sellers: Study paise to one-week bankruptcy law for finance cos low of 67.14

Mumbai, Jun 13 (PTI): Amazon followed by Filpkart and Snapdeal were the most preferred e-commerce websites among sellers, with highest top of the mind recall, a recent study has revealed.

The findings came as a result of a study by Nielsen for the January-March quarter, which surveyed 1,184 online sellers.

It revealed that 39 per cent of online sellers “explore two or more e-commerce websites as an option to sell products on and grow their business.”

A high level of familiarity along with in-depth knowledge of an e-commerce website is the most important factor that drives brand equity, the report said. While Amazon had the highest top of the mind recall (25 per cent), Flipkart stood second (21 per cent) and Snapdeal (20 per cent), it added.

“With the e-commerce industry growing in double digits, there is surge in demand by customers, and an evolving online seller category that is fuelling supply on portals,” said Dolly Jha, executive director of Nielsen India.

“To ensure the equilibrium of demand and supply, it is essential for e-commerce portals to focus on developing an inviting platform for online sellers in the country. Sellers

are also increasingly discerning when it comes to reaching their customer and meeting business needs,” Jha added.

The first wave of the newly launched study was conducted in 16 markets with a population of over 10 lakh, and a sample size of 1,184 respondents. It aims to understand the inclination and experience of selling products on e-retailing platforms.

The study also gauges the brand equity of e-commerce websites amongst connected online sellers, and of those who intend to sell their products online in the next few months.

“Considering the juncture at which the category is, it is now very critical for e-tailers to understand push and pull factors that make sellers pick one website over the other,” Jha said.

Other key factors that impact brand equity are certain perception of the e-retailers like they help the sellers stay relevant and ahead of competition, provide new market opportunity, and help minimise costs to reach out to more customers, it said.

In terms of overall awareness, 86 per cent respondents in the study voted Amazon, 82 per cent voted Flipkart and 75 per cent respondents voted Snapdeal, followed by others.

Mumbai, Jun 13 (PTI): Extending losses against the U.S. dollar for the third day, the rupee on Monday plunged by 38 paise to hit a one-week low of Rs. 67.14. This was due to persistent demand for the American currency from banks and importers in view of sharp fall in domestic equities.

The rupee opened lower at 67.07 against last Friday’s closing level of Rs 66.76 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market and dropped further to 67.19 before ending at a one-week low of 67.14, showing a loss of 38 paise or 0.57 per cent. The rupee has dropped 49 paise or 0.74 per cent in the last three days. The rupee had last ended at 67.25 per dollar on June 3, 2016. The currency hovered in a range of 66.94 and 67.19 per dollar during the day.

Meanwhile, the dollar index was down by 0.16 per cent against the basket of six global currencies in the late trade.

The RBI fixed the reference rate for the dollar at 67.0737 and euro at 75.5116. In cross-currency trades, the rupee firmed up further against the pound sterling to close at 95.24 from the last weekend’s level of 96.24 while moved down against the euro to 75.67 from 75.46 per euro previously.

New Delhi, Jun 13 (PTI): Having overhauled the century-old bankruptcy laws for companies, the government will now bring a new insolvency law for banks and financial institutions to vest with depositors the first right over assets of a defunct entity.

In an interview to PTI, Minister for State for Finance Jayant Sinha said the new legislation that is in the process of being drafted will help in quick winding up of stressed banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and microfinance institutions while safeguarding the interest of small savers.

“We are also looking at additional legislation for resolution of bankruptcy in financial firms,” he said.

Last month, Parliament passed the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code that unifies more than four overlapping sets of laws and aims to slash time taken to wind up a dying company or recover dues from a defaulter.

The inability to shut lossmaking firms and collect dues had locked up funds at banks and damped lending and investment. The government is setting up infrastructure to operationalise the law, he said.

Financial firms, Sinha

said, “by their characteristics, have depositors of money as well. So we have to come up with appropriate resolution processes for orderly winding down of financial firms. It will be a new law.”

“We are working on that as well. So this is more in terms of the structural reforms we are doing which is to look at the resolution and insolvency process,” he added. The new law will deal with financial institutions, including banks, NBFCs, and other financial institutions, that have money deposited, he said.

Asked whether the depositors would have first charge on liquidation, he said, “let’s wait for that legislation to be drafted, but obviously yes depositor money is first in line. We are working on that.”

Sinha said the government is also planning to come out with comprehensive law – Enforcement of Security Interest and Recovery of Debt Laws and Miscellaneous Provisions (Amendment) Bill, 2016 – to amend the debt recovery laws with an overall objective of improving the ease of doing business.

“We are making amendments to the DRT and Sarfaesi Act,” he said.

Jayant Sinha amendment in 2006, is demanding capping the overall rate at 18 percent and scrapping an additional 1 percent tax designed to compensate manufacturing-heavy states that fear losing revenue once the measure is implemented.

After Parliament approves the constitutional amendment to allow GST, it needs to be ratified by more than half of states.

Then Parliament must

products sales while agency has a share of about 39 per cent, the remaining comes from other channels.

The company plans to launch a new ULIP product for high net worth individual by end of this month, he said.

The company reported the gross total premium received in FY 2015-16 was Rs 15,825 crore, of which the new business premium accounted for Rs 7,107 crore and renewal premium accounted for Rs 8,719 crore.

Corresponding figures for last financial year were Rs 12,867 crore, Rs 5,529 crore and Rs 7,338 crore respectively.

The company has about 27 products in individual platform while group platform has about 20 more.

NEW DELHI, Jun 13 (PTI): Retirement fund body EPFO may soon allow its subscribers to contribute voluntarily towards its pension scheme in addition to their employers’ mandatory contributions.

“We are considering a proposal to allow employees to contribute towards ‘EPS 95’ for getting enhanced benefits after retirement. But that contribution would be paid by the employees,” EPFO’s Central Provident Fund Commissioner VP Joy told PTI. At present, an employer contributes 8.33 per cent of basic wages of Rs 15,000 per month towards to the Employees’ Pension Scheme 1995 (EPS-95).

The threshold for monthly basic wages for deduction of EPS contribution is Rs 15,000.

Therefore, the maximum con-

tribution in a pension account can be Rs 1,424 every month which includes government subsidy of 1.16 per cent of basic wages even if an employee is drawing more than the threshold.

Once the proposal is approved by the EPFO’s Central Board of Trustees, the employees would have an option to contribute towards EPS 95 in addition to contributions made by employers.

As per the back of envelop calculations, over three decades of service with average basic wages of Rs 15,000 would result in a pension of not more than Rs 7,500 per month.

Considering the enhanced paying capacity of a large number of subscribers, the EPFO is working on the proposal to allow them to

contribute more in addition to employers’ contribution for ensuring higher pension after retirement, an official said.

The official also said, “Since the pension under the EPS 95 scheme is not inflation linked, it remains stagnant after retirement. Thus the employees should have an option to contribute more towards the pension scheme.”

The unions have been demanding indexing of pension and a minimum monthly benefit of Rs 3,000 under the scheme. However, government has fixed minimum monthly pension of Rs 1,000 under the scheme.

Bangladesh anti-militant crackdown crosses 8,500

London, Jun 13 (PTI): An Indian-origin employee claims he has been sacked for speaking out against his employer’s attempts to dodge paying staff the new “National Living Wage” in the UK. Kumaran Bose, an employee with Kettleby Foods for 12 years, has been backed by his Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) this week over his whistleblowing.

“What his managers particularly disliked was his brave decision to stand up for his rights and refuse to accept that he and his fellow workers should be treated so appallingly,” BFAWU regional organiser George Atwall said.

The Leicester-based firm owned by Samworth Brothers is at the centre of a scandal in which companies have reacted to the introduction of the higher minimum wage in the UK from April 1 this year by cutting workers’ terms and conditions.

The food giant has allegedly slashed overtime, night shift and Sunday rates — even cancelling paid tea breaks.

The strict rules are set to be highlighted in a television expose by Channel 4’s investigative ‘Dispatches’ programme, which will be broadcast next week.

“I was the voice of the union, they set me up as an

example. This is what will happen to you [if you join].

I feel I’ve been dismissed for union activities,” Bose told The Times.

Bose and union officials say that in some cases workers could be denied up to 2,000 pounds a year in wages.

An employee working from Friday to Sunday, they say, would lose 27 pounds per week simply by being docked pay for taking an hour’s break each day.

A disciplinary investigation by the company concluded that Bose was guilty of gross misconduct for mentioning the 2,000 pounds figure, which they said was misleading.

“Kumaran Bose was dismissed for two reasons and neither of them have anything to do with his union activity.

As he has lodged an appeal and therefore the process is continuing it would be unfair on Mr Bose to make any further comment,” a spokesperson for Samworth said.

“We are investing more than 5 million pounds extra in the pay bill every year for the next three years to support our recent pay review, a process that we launched more than 18 months before the national living wage was announced.

The vast majority of staff are seeing a pay increase as a result of these changes,” she added.

Rana Dasgupta had said.

“We feel that India being a Hindu majority country, should do something. We have high hopes on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He should act and take up the matter with Bangladeshi government and ensure the safety and security of Hindus,” he said.

A wave of recent attacks that left a number of secular or liberal activists and religious minorities dead prompted Bangladesh to launch a nationwide anti-militancy crackdown on Thursday.

Colombo, Jun 13 (PTI): The UN’s human rights chief today said there should be an “inclusive and meaningful engagement” of all Sri Lankans when implementing the resolution on the country adopted by the UNHRC last year.

The Sri Lankan government’s efforts to implement its commitments in resolution will require a comprehensive strategy on transitional justice that enables it to pursue different processes in a coordinated, integrated and appropriately sequenced manner, said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad Al Hussein.

“This will require the inclusive and meaningful engagement of all Sri Lankans. I will present an oral update later in the session,” Zeid said while speaking during the opening of the 32nd session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva.

Sri Lankan foreign minister Mangala Samaraweera will make a presentation on the progress made in implementing the resolution.

The resolution called for an international investigation into war crimes blamed on both government forces and the LTTE during the last phase of the conflict that ended in May 2009.

approach.

“Last week, I telephoned the foreign ministers of Russia, New Zealand and South Korea, who will in future head the NSG, and our viewpoint was that they should support the criteria- based approach and we have gathered support for it, China was already supporting it,” Aziz said.

He expressed hope that due to “Pakistan’s efforts and its strong credentials”, if India gains entry into the 48-nation club, Pakistan will also not be left behind.

Responding to a question about nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan’s proliferation network, Aziz said Pakistan has come a long way since then and everyone has witnessed Pakistan safeguarding its nuclear assets.

“If you compare it with India, when our neighbouring country conducted a nuclear test in 1974, it misused the nuclear supplies given to it for peaceful purposes, which led to the formation of NSG. After that nuclear fissile material was stolen from India, but such an instance has never occurred in Pakistan,” Aziz claimed.

Malaysia’s Indians-owned Sharia-compliant airline shut Kuala Lumpur, Jun 13 (PTI): Malaysia’s Rayani Air, the country’s first Shariacompliant airline owned by an ethnic Indian Hindu couple, was shut down today, months after it was suspended for failing to adhere to aviation rules.

The Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) revoked Rayani Air’s Air Service Licence (ASL) after finding Rayani Air had breached the conditions of its licence.

It said the airline also lacked the financial and management capacity to continue operating as a commercial airline.

“As a consequence, Rayani Air can no longer operate as a commercial airline with effect from today,” it said.

The airline was founded

by Ravi Alagendrran and his wife Karthiyani Govindan and started operations in December last year. They used parts of their first names for the airline’s name.

On May 25, MAVCOM had issued a show-cause letter to Rayani Air after it had completed its evaluation of the airlines commercial standing and capabilities to determine whether it could continue as an ASL holder.

MAVCOM required the airline to submit its representation in writing within 14

days before the commission decides on whether Rayani Air should be allowed to continue to hold the ASL or whether it should be revoked, or suspended.

Rayani Air submitted its representation in writing to MAVCOM on the last day of the stipulated time.

“After reviewing Rayani Air’s written representation, MAVCOM has decided to revoke the ASL as the representations made by Rayani Air are not satisfactory responses to the show cause letter dated May 25, 2016,” it said.

The commission also said Rayani Air was still liable to refund its customers.

Customers who have purchased tickets with Rayani Air but were not able go on their journey may lodge a complaint with the company and seek a refund.

In the event consumers are not able to obtain their refunds, consumers can file a civil suit for those refunds.

DOHA, JUN 13 (AGENCIES): A Doha court on Monday convicted a Dutch woman of adultery and handed her a one-year suspended sentence after she reported being raped while on holiday in Qatar.

The 22-year-old woman, known only as Laura and who was not in court, was also fined 3,000 Qatari riyals ($800/710 euros) and will be deported once she pays the fine, court officials said.

She had denied the charge against her.

The male defendant, said by a court official to be Syrian and named as Omar Abdullah al-Hasan, was sentenced to 100 lashes for the illicit sex and 40 lashes for consuming alcohol.

Hasan, who was also not in court, will undergo a medical examination to see if he is fit enough to withstand his punishment. He will not serve any time in jail but will also be deported once he has been punished.

The Dutch ambassador to Qatar Yvette Burghgraefvan Eechoud, who was pres-

ent in a packed courtroom, told reporters the embassy would help Laura leave Qatar.

“We will do everything to get her out of the country as soon as possible to where she wants to go,” said Eechoud.

The envoy added that she expected Laura to leave Qatar, which will host the football World Cup in 2022, within the next few days. The ambassador added that she had spoken to Laura yesterday and said that “under the circumstances she was doing fine”.

Back in the Netherlands, Laura’s mother said she had not yet spoken to her daughter but was “so happy” at the news of her release.

“I do not know yet when she gets home, but this is not most important,” she told the Dutch television NOS website. “The most important is that she gets home ... I am so happy,” she said.

Bert Koenders, the Dutch foreign minister tweeted that he was “relieved” that Laura could soon go home.

Armed man sought to attack Gay Pride parade in LA: Cops

Group of Pak clerics issues fatwa against honour killing

Los Angeles, Jun 13 (AFP): A man whose car contained a cache of weapons and bomb-making materials was arrested after telling police he wanted to “harm” the Gay Pride parade in Los Angeles, authorities said. James Howell, 20, of Indiana, was arrested yesterday in nearby Santa Monica where police found multiple weapons, ammunition and bomb-making materials in his car, police said.

The arrest came just hours after 50 people were massacred at a gay nightclub in Florida.

Santa Monica police chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said on Twitter that Howell told officers about “wanting to harm Gay Pride event,” in reference to the annual LA Pride parade that took place in Hollywood yesterday. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told local radio that the suspect’s car was “full of weapons, long rifles, ammunition and explosive materials -- not explosives but the powder for explosives.”

Lahore, Jun 13 (PTI): At least 40 clerics of the Barelvi school of thought in Pakistan have issued a fatwa against honour killing, declaring it ‘un-Islamic and unpardonable sin’ amidst a series of such incidents.

The clerics under the banner of Sunni Itehad Council (SIC) told a news conference here yesterday that honour killing is kufr (infidelity).

“Burning women alive for marrying of their own choice is against Islamic injunctions,” the fatwa (religious decree) said.

It condemned recent honour killings in Lahore, Abbottabad and Murree, saying such incidents have shaken the whole society as we are moving towards social and societal degradation.

March 14 and has since been held in custody. Her lawyer previously said that the incident happened after she had visited a Doha hotel.

“She went dancing but when she returned to the table after the first sip of her drink, she realised that” she had been drugged, Brian Lokollo has said. “She really didn’t feel very well,” he added.

The young woman remembers nothing more until the following morning when she woke up in a totally unfamiliar apartment “and realised to her great horror, that she had been raped,” he said.

The male defendant had insisted that their night together had been consensual and that the woman had even asked for money.

Adultery, or illicit sex, is treated as a serious crime in the conservative Gulf emirate.

But the case provoked an international outcry with many appalled by the treatment of an alleged rape victim and an online campaign using the #freelaura hashtag to try and draw attention to the Dutch woman’s imprisonment.

It said killing in the name of family honour is based on ignorance and waywardness. The fatwa urged the government to implement proper legislation to curb such crimes, and declare heinous acts such as burning or killing of woman as an unpardonable crime as it is an Islamic government’s responsibility to protect women rights.

At least 1,100 women were killed in the name of honour in Pakistan last year by their relatives on the pretext of defending what is seen as family honour.

“A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness” -- a film based on the story of a rare survivor of an attempted honour killing had won an Oscar for best documentary short subject at the 2016 Academy Awards.

Dhaka, Jun 13 (PTI): Bangladesh today said it did not need any foreign help to provide security to its religious minorities despite a recent wave of deadly attacks

by Islamists targeting Hindus and other communities along with liberal activists in the Muslim-majority country. “The followers of minority religious faiths are being attacked along with other ordinary citizens as part of an orchestrated plot to embarrass the government but these incidents could in no way affect the interfaith harmony in Bangladesh,” Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu said.

He added, “We don’t need to seek assistance of any foreign country or government for the security of our minority communities the (Bangladesh) government by principle is secular and it is awake 24 hours”.

Inu heads the left-leaning party which is a partner of ruling Awami League-led coalition government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The minister’s comments came in response to a recent media report that said the Hindu community in Bangladesh had sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention for their protection in the wake of the attacks. “The Hindu community, which is the biggest minority community in Bangladesh, is vulnerable in Bangladesh. Fundamentalist and Jamaat forces are trying to wipe out Hindus from Bangladesh,” general secretary of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council and noted human rights activist

UN chief calls for engagement of all Lankans

Islamabad, Jun 13 (PTI): Pakistan today claimed that its credentials for NSG membership are “stronger than India” if the elite club agrees on a uniform criteria for non-NPT states to join the group.

Pakistan’s Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said Pakistan has diplomatically engaged numerous countries over the criteria-based approach for the countries that are not signatories to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

“If the group forms such a uniform criteria, then Pakistan has stronger credentials for NSG membership than India,” he told Dawn News.

Pakistan has bright chances of getting membership to the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) on merit, he claimed.

“Our strategy was to apply after India did, after which we would have immediately followed. We have had our application in an advance state of readiness for the past three months for this purpose,” Aziz said.

He claimed that Pakistan has gradually gathered support for the criteria-based

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its fundamentalist ally Jamaat-e- Islami were patronising the attacks under an orchestrated plot against the government.

The attacks since last year, which has left more than 30 people dead, has put Bangladesh under a global spotlight for failing to prevent such attacks.

Last week, a 60-yearold Hindu ashram worker was hacked to death by IS jihadists, days after another priest was killed by the same terrorist group in the Muslim-majority nation.

In February, militants stabbed to death a Hindu priest at a temple and shot and wounded a devotee who went to his aid.

In April, a liberal professor was brutally hacked to death in Rajshahi city.

The same month, a Hindu tailor was hacked to death and Bangladesh’s first gay magazine editor was murdered in his Dhaka flat by Islamists.

groups blamed for most of the recent killings - or Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT).

The arrests were made as part of a week-long antimilitant drive launched after a high-level meeting held

by Inspector General AKM Shahidul Hoque last week.

It involved the paramilitary Border Guard Bangladesh and the elite Rapid Action Battalion.

Bangladesh has been witnessing a string of brutal attacks by Islamists. Islamic State and al-Qaeda in the Indian Peninsula have claimed some of the attacks but the government denies the presence of these groups in Bangladesh.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday told a meeting of her ruling Awami League party that police would stamp out the violence and vowed to catch “each and every killer”.

Dhaka, Jun 13 (PTI): Over 8,500 people, including 119 suspected militants, have been arrested in Bangladesh, police said today as they intensified their nationwide crackdown on extremists to halt a spate of deadly attacks on minorities and secular writers in the Muslim-majority nation.

“During the anti-crime clampdown we have arrested 8,569 people and of them 119 are suspected militants,” Dhaka Police Headquarters spokesman AKM Quamrul Ahsan told reporters.

On the third day of the crackdown by Bangladesh authorities, 3,245 people were arrested until this morning. Of them, 34 were suspected militants, the spokesman said.

During the past two days over 5,300 criminal suspects, including 85 militants, had been arrested. Most of the suspects belonged to banned outfits like Jagrota Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB) - one of two local

Music stars in solidarity with LGBT community

Tony Visconti Apologizes to Adele

T

ro tip for anyone making public statements: always think twice before using a celebrity as an example to support your argument — especially one as outspoken as Adele. Producer Tony Visconti recently received a forceful reminder of why it’s sometimes best to hold one’s tongue, inadvertently sparking Adele’s ire while weighing in on the state of modern music.

“You turn the radio on and it’s fluff, you are listening to 90 percent computerized voices. We know Adele has a great voice, but it’s even questionable if that is actually her voice or how much has been manipulated. We don’t know,” Visconti recently told the Daily Star. “There’s a sound to pop now that is so perfect it’s boring, because everything is fixed.”

Visconti’s comments

were widely spun as criticism of Adele herself, or a suggestion that she isn’t as talented as many people believe — which eventually got back to her.

NME reports that she aired her grievances during a show, telling the audience, “Some d—head tried to say that my voice was not me on record.

Suck my d—.”

Duly chagrined, Visconti spoke to Billboard, gently pointing out that his comments were misrepresented and offering Adele an apology.

“I’m sorry that what I said in regards to what’s being played on radio was misconstrued, yet I cannot apologize for something taken the wrong way,” he said.

“If Adele has taken my comments as offensive, that was certainly not my intent. Adele has a great voice and it brings pleasure to millions.”

he music world has reacted to the shooting at a club in Orlando, Florida over the weekend, with many sending messages of support.

Omar Mateen killed 50 people and wounded 53 more when he opened fire at Orlando gay nightclub Pulse in the early hours of Sunday morning. He was shot dead by police.

Responding to the news, Elton John wrote on Twitter: “Our hearts go out to all the families and loved ones of those lost in Orlando”, while Florence Welch said that she

is “sending love and light” to those affected.

Pharrell Williams tweeted: “I will never understand why people hate. No words can express how sad my heart feels about the tragedy in Orlando,” while Haim wrote: “The news about Orlando has left us heartbroken. Sending all of our love to all the friends and families affected by this tragedy”.

Meanwhile, James Corden began his hosting of the Tony Awards in New York City last night (June 12) by addressing the day’s tragic events.

Pantera react to Christina Grimmie’s murder

Udta Punjab: HC overrules censor cuts; fresh controversies crop up

P

antera have called on the music industry to do more to protect musicians after the weekend murder of Christina Grimmie, a former contestant on television show The Voice.

The 22-year-old singer was shot while signing autographs after a performance in St Petersburg, Orlando, Florida, on Friday. She was attacked by 26-year-old Kevin James Loibl who then took his own life following a struggle with Grimmie’s brother.

Pantera say the incident brought back memories of the 2004 shooting of guitarist Dimebag Darrell while onstage with his band Damageplan.

And the band add that they hope more will be done to prevent further similar tragedies.

In a statement posted on Facebook, Pantera say: “We are so sad and disappointed to hear that Christina Grimmie was gunned down the same way that Dimebag Darrell was.

“After Dime’s murder, we all prayed that our industry - club owners and promoters - would do whatever they needed to do to protect artists from gun wielding fanatics.

ontroversial Indian film Udta Punjab will be released on Friday with one cut and three disclaimers, the Bombay High Court has ruled.

The filmmakers had approached the court after claiming that the censor board had asked them to make 89 cuts.

Censor board chief Pahlaj Nihalani told reporters on Sunday that the film could be released with 13 cuts, ahead of the court verdict on Monday.

The film focuses on the problem of drug abuse in the northern state of Punjab.

The court asked the censor board to issue a certificate for a film within 48 hours.

The censor board had defended its cuts, which included removing every mention of the word “Punjab” from the film, deleting swear words, and also a number of other words like “parliament”, “legislators” and “elections”.

It also said that the film questioned the sovereignty of India, but the court rejected the argument.

“We have read the script in its entirety to see if the film encourages drugs. We do not find that the film questions the

sovereignty or integrity of India by mentioning the names of cities, or referring to a state or by a signpost,” the judge said.

The court had last week told defence lawyers that the film industry was “not made of glass” to be handled with care and added that there was no need for excessive censorship as the public was the “biggest censor”.

It had also said that it was important for creative people and the industry “to survive”.

The board has the option of appealing against the verdict in the Supreme Court.

The film’s director, Abhishek Chaubey, told reporters outside the courtroom that

he had accepted the order to delete a scene which showed the lead character urinating into a crowd while under the influence of drugs.

He said he would also add disclaimers specifying that the film was not against any specific state, and did not support drug abuse or the use of swear words.

The film board has recently come in for criticism for its controversial decisions to remove scenes in several films, including some Hollywood movies, before they were allowed to be screened in cinemas.

If the earlier roadblocks for the makers of ‘Udta Punjab’

weren’t enough, it seems the film will not see the light of day in Punjab and Haryana. The latest update in the controversy is that the Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued notice to the producers of the film asking them why the film shouldn’t be banned in the state.

On the one hand, while Bombay High Court’s observations are in the favour of the film and the High Court has ruled the verdict in the favour of the film upholding only one cut out of suggested 89 cuts, on the other, Punjab and Haryana court is in no mood to let the film release in the state. As per a report on Times Now, the P&H High Court issued notice to the filmmakers asking for an explanation as to why the film shouldn’t be banned in Punjab and Haryana.

The onus is now on the producers to prove this. However, the Bombay HC verdict has finally ruled in the favour of the film, which can now be released with just one cut. The scene that the Bombay High Court have asked to delete from the film is where Shahid Kapoor’s character of Rockstar Tommy Singh is seen urinating in front of a large audience.

ip-hop musical Hamilton has led the Tony Awards in New York, winning 11 including best musical and lead actor.

The hit show about the life of one of America’s founding fathers just fell short of The Producers’ record of 12 statuettes in 2001.

For the first time at the ceremony, all four musical acting winners were black, including British star Cynthia Erivo.

But Saturday’s mass shooting in an Orlando gay club overshadowed the show, and many paid tribute to the victims.

Host James Corden dedicated the night in New York to celebrating the diversity of Broadway, saying: “Our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity. All we can say is you’re not on your own right now. Your tragedy is our tragedy.

“Hate will never win.

Tonight’s show stands as a

symbol and a celebration of that principle.”

Corden won a Tony Award in 2012 for his performance in One Man, Two Guvnors.

US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle introduced the cast of Hamilton, which had 16 nominations, with a video message at the ceremony. The president said it was “not only a smash hit but a civics lesson our kids can’t get enough of ”, while rapper Common described the show as a “cultural phenomenon”.

It won awards including best musical, best director, best original score and best book of a musical for the spoken, non-sung dialogue and storyline.

The cast changed their performance in the light of the Orlando shooting, which killed 50 people and wounded 53, leaving their prop guns behind when they took to the stage.

Photo-syncing was an optional feature Facebook launched on iOS in 2012 which allowed users to automatically copy all their photos from their smartphone to a private album on Facebook.

These photos are stored in an album called Synced (in the app) or Synced from Phone (on the desktop), the report noted.

The Conjuring 2 scares off US box office competition

T

he Conjuring 2 has topped the North American box office chart in its first week of release, breaking a recent slump in success for movie sequels. The horror starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as paranormal investigators made $40.4m (£28.5m). Video game adaptation Warcraft came in second with $24.4m (£17.2m) and crime caper Now You See Me 2 was at three, taking $23m (£16.2m). Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dropped to four with $14.8m (£10.4m).

Following a spate of poor performing sequels such as The Huntsman: Winter’s War, Alice Through the Looking Glass and Ride Along 2, The Conjuring 2 opened nearly on par with its 2013 original.

“There’s seemingly been a spell cast over the second installments and The Conjuring, I think, broke that spell,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore.

“Just the overall quality won over the audience in a genre that’s generally looked down upon from a critical perspective.’’

Big budget CGI extravaganza Warcraft, taken from the K

Y M C

hit video game franchise, reportedly cost $160m (£112.8m) to make, so effectively bombed in the US financially as well as critically.

However, it was a phenomenal success overseas, particularly in China where it made $156m (£110m) in its first five days, surpassing 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron to set a new record for the biggest debut for a foreign release.

The game is particularly popular there, even spawning a theme park.

The magician crime caper Now You See Me 2, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo and Woody Harrelson, followed the disappointing trajectory of most recent sequels, dropping from its 2013 original opening debut of $29.4m (£20.8) to $23m (£16.2m).

The fifth Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Out of the Shadows, fell to number four in only its second weekend.

The last movie in the franchise grossed nearly double in its opening weekend box office.

Rounding off the top five was X-Men: Apocalypse, taking $10m (£7m) in a troubling third weekend.

Peru dump Brazil out of Copa America

The defeat left Brazil struggling to digest their worst performance in the Copa America since 1987, the last occasion the five-time world champions failed to make it past the group stage.

Brazil, needing only a

draw to qualify for the quarterfinals as winners of Group B, looked to be on course for a place in the last eight with 15 minutes to go against Peru.

But a rare foray into Brazilian territory from Peru ended with Raul Ruidiaz bundling in Andy Polo’s cross from the by-line, appearing to use his arm to score.

Ruidiaz wheeled away to celebrate and Uruguayan referee Andres Cunha signalled for the goal.Brazil’s players protested furiously, swarming around Cunha in a bid to persuade the official to reverse his decision.

The protests appeared to have swayed Cunha, who looked to be frantically checking with the fourth official via his headpiece to determine whether the goal should stand.

Yet after a chaotic delay of around four minutes with players from both sides surrounding the referee - Cunha ruled the goal should stand.

Multiple replays from different angles, however, showed that Ruidiaz had used his arm to knock the ball into the net past Brazil keeper Alisson. Brazil pressed forward in the final closing minutes in an attempt to find an equaliser that would take them through but it was to no avail.

Elias squandered a golden chance from close range in injury time and Brazil’s fate was sealed.

Colombia in the quarter-finals after finishing top of Group B. Bra zil c oa c h Dung a lambasted the decision to allow Peru’s goal. “I am sure the Brazilian fans saw the game and saw how Brazil was eliminated,” Brazil coach Dunga said.

“There is no way to anticipate imponderables. The team was not eliminated by anything to do with football,” he added, criticising the lengthy deliberations between the match officials which held up the game. I do not quite understand who or what the referee was consulting,” Dunga said, adding that he had watched replays of the incident on screens in the Gillette Stadium.

“It was such a clear handball, but we have no influence over the referee,” he said. Brazil’s early exit is certain to pile pressure on Dunga after what was a lacklustre tournament.

The Brazilians, desperate to begin the road to recovery after their humiliating 7-1 defeat

by Germany in the World Cup semi-finals two years ago, never convinced at any point of the group stage.

A 0-0 opening draw with Ecuador - where a refereeing decision which might have given Ecuador a victory went in Brazil’s favour - was followed by a 7-1 drubbing of Haiti, arguably the weakest team in the tournament.

Ecuador set up US showdown after Haiti rout

Ecuador booked a Copa America quarter-final clash with the United States after a 4-0 Group B win over Haiti in East Rutherford.

La Tricolor finished second in the group and made a quick start as they scored their first two goals inside the opening 20 minutes. West Ham forward Enner Valencia put his team ahead in the 11th minute with his second goal of the tournament. Christian Noboa played in the Premier League striker and he made no mistake in dispatching the ball past Johnny Placide.

Ecuador doubled their lead nine minutes later when a long ball from Walter Ayovi picked out Enner Valencia and he beat Romain Genevois, drew Placide towards him before laying it on a plate for Jaime Ayovi to tap into an empty net. After the restart, Jerome Mechack headed against the crossbar for Haiti before Ecuador went further ahead in the 57th minute.

Noboa met Jefferson Montero’s cross on the halfvolley and they wrapped it up 12 minutes from time when Enner Valencia beat the offside trap and set up Manchester United’s Antonio Valencia to fire home.

Titles for Pliskova, Vandeweghe BCCI in talks with ECB, London, Jun 13 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : K a r o l i n a Pliskova and Coco Vandeweghe claimed grass court titles on Sunday with Pliskova winning the Aegon Open and Vandeweghe the Ricoh Open.

With Wimbledon just a couple of weeks away and the clay-court season over, the first grass-court titles of the year were decided over a rain-interrupted weekend in England and the Netherlands.

In Nottingham, it was top seed Pliskova who emerged victorious from a tough battle with the unseeded Alison Riske but only after a delay of more than two hours.

Pliskova started brightly and moved into 3-1 lead with an early break, but back came in-form Riske who came into the final on the back of a ninematch winning streak on grass having claimed the ITF title in Eastbourne last week.

The American world number 89 rallied and broke back to level at 3-3, the match went with serve with Pliskova saving three sets points at 4-5 before three more went begging for Riske in an epic tie-break.

Eventually Pliskova came out on top winning 10-8 in the tie-break but it was Riske who grabbed the crucial first break in the second set to lead 3-2 before Pliskova broke back in the eighth game of the set to level at 4-4.

A third break of serve in the set gave Riske the chance to serve out the second and take the matches into a decider but world number 18 Pliskova broke back immediately saving set points in the process.

And with Riske now serving to stay in the match it was her 24 year-old opponent who str uck at the cr ucial moment and as in the first set took her chance when it arose to claim her fifth career title and first this year with a 7-6 7-5 triumph.

The American took the opening set before the second looked to be heading the way

of Mladenovic who took a 5-3 lead and served for the set.

However, the 23-year-old, who won the French Open women’s doubles title alongside Caroline Garcia just a week ago, spurned her opportunity and Vandeweghe broke to trail 5-4 before reeling off three games in succession to claim the title.

K o lkat a , J u n 1 3 (Agencies): The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly approached the England and Wales Cricket Board with the proposal of playing a day-night Test after New Zealand turned down India’s offer. While the ECB is yet to convey their decision, the board is also believed to be in talks with Cricket Australia for the same when they tour India next year.

New Zealand expressed their apprehension of partaking in a pink-ball Test in Indian conditions and informed the BCCI of the same a few weeks ago. “The New Zealand board is not willing to play day-night Test as they are not comfortable with the Indian conditions,” a top BCCI official was quoted saying by the Indian Express on Monday (June 13). “There are various reasons, for instance the dew factor and ground conditions.

“New Zealand played the first day-night Test against Australia and players could not find batting and fielding easy at dusk. So BCCI has got in touch with ECB and Cricket Australia to find out if they are interested

in playing one day-night Test when they travel to India,” he confirmed.

The Test was initially speculated to be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata after Sourav Ganguly was found persuing the idea of his home ground hosting the fixture. Now, however, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is in line to host it.

Whilst a decision on whether Australia will participate in a pink ball Test early next year hasn’t been taken yet, CA and BCCI have agreed on playing a pink ball four-day game during India A’s tour of Australia in August. India A is slotted to play two four-day games and a tri-series which also includes South Africa.

Kookaburra, the company that manufactures the pink ball, will send some sample balls to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore where they will be tested as the BCCI believes that if the ball retains its shine, the essence of the contest will be lost.

Hamilton wins in Canada for fifth time

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, of Britain, celebrates his victory at the Canadian Grand Prix auto race in Montreal, Sunday. (AP/PTI) M ON T RE A L , J u n 1 3 (Agencies): Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix for the fifth time on Sunday and paid tribute to the late boxing great Muhammad Ali after cutting Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg’s championship lead to nine points.

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. That’s for Muhammad Ali,” the triple world champion said over the radio after taking the chequered flag at a cold Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel finished second and Finland’s Valtteri Bottas was third for Williams, but 46.4 seconds behind the winner.

Indian men break 18-yr national record in 4x400m relay ERZURUM, Jun 13 (PTI): The Indian men’s 4x400m relay team created a new national record, clocking 3:02.17 at the International Sprint and Relay Teams Cup on Sunday.

They bettered the previous record of 3:02.62 set at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok.

Meanwhile, the Indian women’s 4x400m relay team, who are the reigning Asian Games champion and recordholder, clocked 3:30.16 and jumped to world No 12 in the rankings, to emerge as strong contenders for a qualification berth for the 2016 Olympic Games.

Earlier, the Indian team management decided to field two teams each in both the relay events for more options.

The men’s second team (B team) clocked 3:06.61 while the women’s second team (B team) finished with a timing of 3:34.45.

Hamilton, who made another sluggish start, but he refused to yield as they fought for the tight space and their wheels banged and forced the title leader onto the grass.

The collision was not on the scale of their crash in Barcelona last month, which took both of them out, but proved a huge setback for Rosberg who dropped to 10th with Hamilton staying second.

Vettel, benefiting from the upgraded turbocharger Ferrari brought to the race, held the lead until his pitstop on lap 11 but the two-stop strategy was to prove the Italian team’s undoing.

Hamilton regained the lead for the final time when Vettel stopped for fresh tyres on lap 36 and despite the Ferrari showing quicker pace at times was never in a position to mount a challenge.

Fractured finger puts Warner out of tri-series

Ba s s e t e r r e , J u n 1 3 (IANS): In-form Australia opener David Warner has been ruled out of the remainder of the tri-nation cricket series with a fractured left index finger.

The team vice-captain sustained the injury while fielding during their 36-run victory over South Africa in the fourth game of the tournament at Warner Park on Saturday, reports CMC. Subsequent X-rays revealed on Sunday that the damage would keep the left-hander out of action for up to six weeks, or could even require surgery.

The X-Ray showed an intra-articular fracture of the distal phalanx of the index finger of the left hand - the top part of that finger, team doctor Geoffrey Verrall said on Sunday.

We w i l l a s s e s s t h e situation over the coming days to see if the injury requires a

surgical option but should that not be the case then David is likely to be available to return to play in somewhere between two and six weeks.

A decision will be taken on if Warner will remain on tour and whether or not a replacement will be summoned.

Warner, who struck 109 in Saturdays game, said he would try to take the positives from the injury layoff.

Its obviously disappointing to be sidelined given the form Ive been in and given the important stage the tri-series is at, but its always important to look at the positives, he said.

This downtime, however long or short it is, will give me the chance to freshen up and spend quality time with my family after an intense period of action, with trips to New Zealand and South Africa, plus the World Twenty20 and the Indian Premier League.

Ireland own goal hands Sweden draw India pocket third straight

Ibrahimovic (centre) battles for the ball against Republic of Ireland’s Hendrick (left) and Ciaran Clark (right).

Paris, Jun 13 (Agencies): It’s a case of what might have been, as Ireland were held to a 1-1 draw by Sweden in their Euro 2016 Group E opener at the Stade de France.

Ireland took the lead after 48 minutes through Wes Hoolahan’s brilliant half-volley, but then immediately sat back and allowed Erik Hamren’s side to regain the initiative.

But a lumbering Sweden side still couldn’t muster a shot on target through their own efforts, with the equaliser coming 19 minutes from the end when Ciaran Clark headed Zlatan Ibramovic’s cross into his own net.

For 50 minutes the Ireland diamond shone in SaintDenis, with Glenn Whelan immense at the base and the rock that allowed Seamus Coleman and Robbie Brady to attack down the flanks.

And it was a 16th minute Brady set-piece that almost got Ireland on their way, with Clark’s header from his corner just rolling past the desperate stretch of John O’Shea in the six-yard box.

But this wasn’t the Ireland of old, content to soak up pressure with the vain hope of nicking a goal from a dodgilyawarded set-piece.

Sweden were toothless and leaden, only able to offer a solitary, off-target shot in the opening 45 minutes, with an increasingly tetchy Zlatan dis-

appearing deeper and deeper into O’Shea’s pocket.

And any fears that Ireland’s momentum might be lost during the half-time break were soon dissipated as Hoolahan broke the deadlock with a brilliant half-volley into the far corner from Coleman’s gambolling run into the area and chip.

Which made what happened next all the more inexplicable – Ireland lost their shape, allowed Sweden onto

them, and almost paid the price immediately, with first Emil Forsberg and then Zlatan going close as Martin O’Neill’s defence panicked.

And the inevitable Sweden equaliser arrived on 71 minutes, as Clark headed Zlatan’s cross from the left touchline into his own goal from point-blank range.

And with Belgium to come on Saturday for Ireland followed by Italy on Wednesday, and vice versa for Sweden, the nightmare scenario could be that both teams go out of the tournament with just this single point to show for their efforts.

Earlier, Gerard Pique

scored a late goal to give Spain a 1-0 victory over Czech Republic in their Group D match.

Twice defending champions Spain had a ball possession up to 68 per cent, created 14 corners and fired 17 attempts, but they just failed to turn those numerous chances into goals.

With the match more and more likely ending as a goalless draw, second half substitution Pedro Rodriguez and

Andres Iniesta combined on the right before the latter sent a cross towards the back post.

Iniesta’s Barcelona teammate Pique jumped the highest and earliest to head the cross past Petr Cech, who should have made history by earning his country a point nearly single-handedly.

Iniesta proved dominant in the midfield, launching attacks wave after wave but Cech, together with their central defender Roman Hubmik, always reacted quicker to keep their goal intact.

Although contained for most of the time in their own half, the Czechs finally found their best chance in the 65th

minute. A short corner and delivery gave Theodor Gebre Selassie the chance to head from a tight angle and Cesc Fabregas saved his side with a last-ditch clearance off the line.

David Silva was found in the box by another Iniesta cross in the 78th minute. The Manchester City forward cut inside and almost found the far corner with a left-footed effort.

Clinical Germany begin campaign with win

Goals on either half by Shkodran Mustafi and Bastian Schweinsteiger assisted world champions Germany to a 2-0 win over Ukraine in their Group C opener at Euro 2016 in their bid for a record fourth European crown.

The Germans enjoyed greater ball possession from the start. They lead 1-0 at halftime at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

It was the sixth meeting between the two sides with Ukraine never having won once. But they could not carve open a disciplined Ukrainian defence easily who were not overawed by the occasion or at the prospect of facing the world champions.

It was clear they were not going to go down without putting up a fight. Germany went ahead in the 19th minute.

Shkodran Mustafi’s perfectly timed header gave them the 1-0 halftime lead.

It was his first international goal. Mustafi beat his marker and towered above everyone else to meet Toni Kroos’ curling free kick from the right just outside the penalty area.

His powerful header went in the top left corner of the net.

Ukraine were not bogged down after conceding and despite Germany’s superiority, they had chances of their own.

German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made two crucial saves.

He first stopped Yevhen Konoplyanka with a dive towards his left and then tipped over Yevhen Khacheridi’s effort from close range. Defender Jerome Boateng cleared a goal bound ball off the line.

Ukraine had a goal ruled out for offside in the closing stages of the first half.

The second half was similar to the first half with both teams fighting neck and neck. They created chances but could not finish them off as it moved towards the end seemingly to end at 1-0.

But in the final seconds Schweinsteiger latched on to a pinpoint Mesut Ozil pass, of a swift counter-attack, to put the result beyond doubt.

UEFA ‘may move future games’

UEFA is considering making changes to the way games are allocated to cities and the timing of kick-offs at future European Championships, in the wake of violence at Euro 2016.

It is likely the governing body will change the current protocol and allow itself to move matches and start times to minimise the risk of hooliganism.

Euro 2016 has been marred by violence, with Marseille hit by three days of fighting between England and Russia fans and local French troublemakers.

There has also been trouble in Nice, where Northern Ireland and Poland supporters were involved in fighting with local youths, and between Germany and Ukraine fans in Lille.

There are fears that English and Russian supporters could clash again in the northern city of Lille later this week.

Russia play in Lille on Wednesday, and England play Wales 20 miles away in Lens on Thursday - but many English fans are staying in Lille.

UEFA says that under the current arrangements, it had no power to move games or kick-off times, as these were all pre-arranged ahead of the draw which took place in Paris in December.

series win in Zimbabwe

Harare, Jun 13 (IANS): India pocketed its third consecutive One-Day International (ODI) series win against Zimbabwe on Monday after the Mahendra Singh Dhoniled side inflicted an eightwicket defeat on the hosts in the second of the three-match series here.

In what turned out to be another one-sided affair at the Harare Sports Club, India romped home with 139 balls to spare after the bowlers led by young leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (3/25) restricted the hosts to a meagre 126 in just 34.3 overs.

In reply, the men-in-blue were off to a brilliant start with openers Lokesh Rahul and Karun Nair putting on 58 runs before being separated. Rahul, the centurion in the previous match, got to another good start with a 50-ball 33 comprising four boundaries before being bowled by all-rounder Chamu Chibhabha.

But Nair and Mumbai’s Ambati Rayudu forged another 67-run partnership for the second wicket to take India within sniffing distance of a win before the righthanded opener was packed back by off-spinner Sikandar Raza. Nair’s patient 39 came off 68 deliveries with five hits to the fence. Coming in at No. 4 Manish Pandey (4) finished off the proceedings with a boundary to covers, with Rayudu remaining unbeaten on 41 from 44 balls. Rayudu’s knock included seven boundaries.

For the hosts, none of the bowlers could trouble the Indian batsmen as Chibhabha and Raza managed to take one wicket apiece.

E a r l i e r, Z i m b a b w e squandered a patient start to lose the plot after being sent into bat on a cold morning.

Middle-order batsman Vusi Sibanda (53) waged a lone battle as the home side were comfortably placed at 106/3 by the halfway mark.

But when it looked like Sibanda had weathered the top-

The Indian cricket team is in Zimbabwe for ODI and T20 matches. (AP/PTI) order wobble to steer them towards a competitive total, Chahal struck twice in successive deliveries to trigger the collapse which saw seven wickets falling for just 20 runs.

Sibanda, who hosted Chahal for a brilliant six over long on in the leggie’s very first over, put on 67 runs for the fourth-wicket with Sikandar Raza (16), providing some resistance to the Indians.

Opener Chamu Chibhaba (21) was the second highest scorer for the home side as all the other batsmen failed to reach double figures. Sean Williams did not bat because

of a finger injury he picked up after the toss. And he went for scans earlier. India’s young bowling unit was once again at its lethal best with the medium pace trio of Barinder Sran (2/17), Dhawal Kulkarni (2/31) and Jasprit Bumrah (1/27) complimenting Chahal and Patel (1/22) well. The teams will now lock horns in the inconsequential third ODI on Wednesday before the three-match Twenty20 series at the same venue. During their previous two tours, India thrashed Zimbabwe 5-0 and 3-0 in 2013 and 2015 respectively.

Thiem seals Stuttgart title Stuttgart, Jun 13 (Agencies): Dominic Thiem continued his remarkable season by claiming his fourth title of the year at the rain-delayed ATP Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart on Monday.

After the adverse weather caused the grasscourt final against German Philipp Kohlschreiber to be held over, world No 7 Thiem came through to secure victory.

Kohlschreiber had been leading Thiem 3-2 in a first-set tiebreaker on Sunday when play was halted for the day.

But the 22-year-old Austrian upped his game on Monday, eventually running out a 6-7 (2-7) 6-4 6-4 winner.

London, Jun 13 (Agencies): Former Liverpool and Norway left-back John Arne Riise has decided to call time on his career, the player confirmed in a blog post on his official website on Monday.

The 35-year-old Riise spent seven years at Liverpool, making more than 250 appearances and winning the Champions League, the FA Cup and the League Cup during his spell on Merseyside. “I like to play football, but the motivation is still not strong enough to run the race at the highest level,” he wrote, in a post translated in full on the Liverpool Echo website.

“This body - and this head - has been through so much over the last 20 years. It is an admission that is both heavy and painful, and very full of emotion, but it is most of all honest... “Lately there has emerged a completely new feeling in me, feeling that joy, glow but no longer strong enough to perform at my best.”

Riise played for several clubs, including Fulham and Italian side Roma following his departure from Anfield, and last played for Norwegian outfit Aalesund. And he spoke in his post about how much the game has meant to him over the years.

“To succeed as a footballer you have to have a mental strength...

Every fight is a public examination where you’re measured and judged. But beneath all this lies the joy.”

Riise ends his career as the most-capped Norwegian player of all time, having made 110 appearances for his country. Social media quickly paid tribute to a star who was a mainstay of Liverpool’s side for almost a decade.
