Govt flip-flop on draft forest policy

NEW DELHI, JUN 25 (PTI): In a flip-flop, the Environment Ministry Saturday said it had “inadvertently” uploaded a “study” and “not issued” any draft forest policy, days after it put up a document, titled the Draft National Forest Policy 2016, on its website and sought public opinion.

The Ministry said the study done by Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM) in Bhopal was “inadvertently” uploaded on its website as draft forest policy. “The Ministry has not issued any draft notification on National Forest Policy. What has been uploaded on the website was a study done

by Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal. The study has not been evaluated by the Ministry.

“The Ministry has not taken any decision on draft forest policy. The study report prepared by IIFM, Bhopal was inadvertently uploaded as draft forest policy on the website,” said S S Negi, Director General, Forest, and Special Secretary, Environment Ministry. The Ministry had uploaded the draft national forest policy on its website which, once ratified, would have replaced the 1988 policy. The document, a copy of which is in possession of PTI, said “the draft of the National Forest Policy, 2016, has been prepared by the Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal (IIFM) based on village level focus group discussions... regional and national level consultations, inputs from various stakeholders and analysis of primary and secondary datasets carried out during the years 2015 and 2016.” There were also reports in a section of media that the Ministry, after uploading the document, had given very little time for stakeholders to comment on it. Negi said the Ministry has an elaborate procedure of preparing a draft policy and no such process has been undertaken by it. “As Director General Forest, I would like to clarify that this document is not the draft forest policy.

The Ministry has an elaborate procedure for preparing draft policy document, which takes into account multiple inputs from all stakeholders, state governments, think tanks and public consultation.

This is it!

Terrorists kill 8 CRPF men in J&K

Security forces inspecting the CRPF bus which was attacked by militants on SrinagarJammu National High Way at Pampore on the out skirts of Sringar on Saturday. Eight CRPF personnel and two militants were killed in the shoot out. (PTI) SRINAGAR, JUN 25 (PTI): In the deadliest attack on security forces in three years, eight CRPF personnel were killed and 21 others critically wounded when terrorists rained bullets on a bus carrying them in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district today.

The suspected LeT terrorists sprayed a bus carrying the personnel of 161 battalion of CRPF with bullets at Frestbal, 14 KMs from here, officials said.

The CRPF’s Road Opening Party (ROP) engaged the

terrorists and killed two of them. According come accounts, two more militants were involved in the attack but there was no official confirmation.

The area has been sealed and message flashed about the possibility of two terrorists having fled the spot in a car towards Srinagar.

The injured were rushed to the hospital where doctors declared five of them having been brought dead, while the condition of four of the 21 personnel was stated to be critical.

After the encounter was over, bodies of three more CRPF personnel were found on the back seats of the bus raising the death toll to eight.

The terrorists appeared to have carefully chosen the spot for the ambush as every vehicle has to slow down there because of a sharp curve on the road. Security agencies suspect a reconnaisance might have preceded the assault.

This is the third terror strike in three weeks targeting security personnel and the deadliest after the June 24,

2013 attack on Army personnel at Hyderpora on the outskirts of Srinagar in which nine armymen were gunned down.

Inspector General of CRPF Nalin Prabhat rushed to the spot and was leading the combing operations. “We have eliminated two terrorists who are believed to be from Lashkar-e-Taiba,” he said.

Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police K Rajendra, who visited the spot, said the two terrorists had been neutralized but “unfortunately we have suffered some causalities too”.

Asked whether the slain terrorists were from across the border, Rajendra said, “In all probability they seem to be from Pakistan.”

Director General of CRPF Durga Prasad will visit the scene of encounter tomorrow.

In Delhi, Home Minister Rajnath Singh expressed deep anguish over the killing of the CRPF personnel.

“My heart goes out to the families of the CRPF men who lost their lives in Pampore. I also pray for the speedy recovery of the injured,” he said in a tweet.

This is the second attack on a bus carrying security personnel within three weeks. On June 3, terrorists had fired at a bus carrying BSF personnel in Bijbehara, killing two of them.

On June four, terrorists had gunned down three policemen at general bus stand.

Kithan said while the matter of petroleum and natural gas issue was sub judice as a result of the PIL filed by members of Lotha Hoho on the matter, they said a clarification of the Lotha legislators of the 11th NLA (2008-13) was being issued to allay any confusions or misunderstanding that may have resulted.

The signatories pointed out that as all the four legislators of the district were in the treasury bench of the govern-

Lotha Community (barely four months after the formation of the 11th House of the NLA),” they stated.

agreed upon by raise of hands and the same with appended signatures were submitted to Convener Cabinet SubCommittee (CSC) on oil the same night.

They said CSC convener was very receptive as all the demands made were duly taken into consideration except revenue sharing, which the convener purportedly said was done after much research and rates laid were minimum and base point subject to variability on bidding.

After all those participatory approach, they said many Lothas were taken by surprise by the PIL. “Let it be known that the present PIL is not a conscious decision of Lotha Tribe but a decision of a handful of people from the Tribe…” the signatories asserted. In the light of the above, the signatories urged the Lotha Hoho to withdraw the PIL on P&NG as it tantamount to challenging the constitutional authority of Nagaland Legislative Assembly as provided under Article 371 A.

LONDON, JUN 25 (IANS): Over one million Britons have signed a petition calling on the British Parliament to hold a new referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union (EU).

The petition, set up by William Oliver Healey, called for implementing the rule that “if the Remain or Leave vote is less than 60 per cent based on a turnout less than 75 per cent, there should be another referendum”.

Parliament released a message on its official website that it will consider the request for a discussion, as parliament is committed to consider any request or initiative with more than 100,000 signatures.

The committee concerned with petitions will meet on Tuesday in this regard.

A total of 51.9 per cent of Britons voted on Thursday to leave the EU in a referendum, nicknamed “Brexit” with the participation of 72.1 per cent of voters.

DIMAPUR, JUN 25 (NPN): Twenty villages students’ union under Longleng Sadar has termed as “false and bias” the statement of Yongnyah Area Students’ Union (YSAU), published on June 25, 2016, saying the statement attempted “to strangulate the minds of the peoples.”

In a press release, 20 villages students’ union convenor B. Ating Phom and secretary M.Chaupong Phom expressed resentment over selecting the site at Yungho under Yongnyah village for establishment of polytechnic institution.

They questioned YASU as to how site at Yungho could be feasible when there was no facilities such as electricity, postal service, banking, medical, security etc. The signatories asserted that the site would not benefit the student community as the proposed site was “too far away” – 30km from district headquarters Longleng.

Women talk about peace & challenges

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUN 25 (NPN): Trying to reform the society, build bridges, maintain peace and stand firm and calm in times of conflict what mothers/women in Naga society have been doing for several decades and whether society acknowledged the contributions these women (mostly mothers) who left behind their families and walked miles for days-risking their lives so peace was maintained in Naga society?

These were thoughts and question raised by two Naga mothers and former presidents of Naga Mothers Association (NMA) -Neidonuo Angami and Khesheli Chishi- as they shared about their experiences as NMA leaders.

Each of them spoke on their perspective on the formation of NMA and challenges women faced in mid 1980s and early 1990s during when drugs and pornography and killings amongst the Naga groups were at the peak.

The event on “stories of women in peace” was organised by The Morung Lecture -- an initiative of The Morung for Indigenous Affairs & Just Peace and The Morung Express, at DABA Elim Hall, Duncan Basti.

Neidonuo, one of the

(R-L): Neidonuo Angami and Khesheli Chishi.

founding members of NMA, admitted that initially the association was formed to check “social evils” such as drug addiction and rampant sale of pornography videos and check such screenings in the video halls which she said was very prevalent in the 80s.

“We did not recognise our role as peacemakers those days but eventually as we worked for peace, we realised the roles of mothers/women in peacemaking”, said Neidonuo. She said initially NMA along with the law enforcing agencies was more focused on preventing drug trafficking and helping the drug addicts, mostly youth, for rehabilitation. However, in early 1990s when Nagaland experienced “maximum factional killings”

she said, as mothers, people started to look upon them to be facilitators.

Ter ming’90s as the “worst period of factional killings”, Neidonuo said each day two to three Naga sons were killed and their bodies remained unclaimed.

As an association of mothers, she said NMA started to collect Naga shawls from the members to give those unclaimed bodies a decent Naga burial. However, with the increase in killings, she said the association could not provide more shawls and then had to request churches to donate the same.

Unlike the present days, Neidonuo said mothers were not in the position to contact any of the Naga groups neither the groups could contact

them. As such, 40-50 Naga men were buried unclaimed but not without being covered in a Naga shawl.

She said a day of mourning declared in August 1994 by the association for the deceased Naga soldiers and Naga mothers gathered at State Academy Hall Kohima, where they also resolved to set up a peace team, “Shed no more blood”.

Only after the signing of cease-fire between government of India and Naga groups, she said the mothers could approach the Naga groups to unify and reconcile among themselves.

Narrating the experiences of NMA members who walked for six days (to and fro) to meet NSCN (K) chairman SS Khaplang at Mynamar (Burma) in the year 1999 and 2002, Khesheli Chishi admitted that it was not easy navigating the terrain.

Though the mothers had to walk for days without proper food and equipments, she said they were determined and was not ready to give up as they wanted peace to prevail in Naga society.

“We laughed, we cried but we did not give up because we wanted peace to prevail and that motivated us”, said Chishi.

She admitted that Nagas in that part of the region was

living in a “pathetic condition” and the realisation that half the population of Nagas were living miserably was also one of the reasons that motivated the members.

Chishi also briefed about NMA delegates meeting with leaders of the neighbouring states and highlighted on the need to maintain peace and cordial relationship.

“How can we yearn for peace while our neighbours are crying?” questioned Chishi and added that this motivated NMA to approach the neighbouring states.

During the discussion session, NMA advisor Rosemary said absolute peace could be achieved when there was social justice and women were empowered.

Incumbent NMA president Abei-Ü Meru also agreed that peace was a continuous process and has no boundary.

Neidonuo rightly summed up the struggle of mothers for peace saying “peacemaking is an ongoing process and an effort of all Naga women” and added that NMA alone should not take the credit. Making a clarion call to Naga women, Neidonuo said “I want all Naga women to understand that you are all part of the peacemaking and we should all keep up the process”.

Youth asked to do away with ‘ism’

Chuba Ozukum.

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUN 25(NPN): Highlighting the need for a great revival of younger generation of Nagas for a developed and prosperous Nagaland, Naga Hoho president Chuba Ozukum asked them to come out of “tribalism” and emotionalism”.

He was speaking at career guidance programme for school students coinciding with the launching of a nonprofit making organisation “Open Minds” at Don Bosco Higher Secondary School, Dimapur on Saturday.

Ozukum said “tribalism” and emotionalism” are two factors that have been

pushing the younger generation back from competitions with the youths of other parts of the country “Usually Naga people do not want to go for hard work. They like to earn easy money. Moreover, they do not think of the future of the generation,” he lamented.

Expressing concern over excessive use of social media, he was of the view that there was “something wrong going” with younger generation and that the impact of social media on youths should be examined seriously.

Saying that the youth have to choose their career at the right time, Naga Hoho president said it was observed that many parents try to impose their own ideas on their children in choosing their career. He lamented that this practice has damaged the personal growth of many children in the state.

Stating that many parents advised their children to choose their career option depending on their results on performance on secondary schools, Ozukum said this practice was not good and that the parents should see the interests of the children at first for choosing their options.

Special guest, joint secretary to government of Manipur, Tribal Affairs Department, Armstrong Pame also urged all students to work

UPF decries detention of KNF activist, assault on women by AR

Correspondent

IMPHAL, JUN 25: United People’s Front (UPF), one of the two apex bodies of Kuki militant groups under suspension of operation (SoO), has expressed strong resentment over the recent detention of four activists of its constituents Kuki National Front (KNF) by Assam Rifles and alleged assault on the womenfolk protesting against the detention.

On June 21, troops of 35 Assam Rifles posted at Henbung of Senapati district detained four activists of KNF who were deputed as personal security guard of UPF chairman ST Thangboi.

On the following day, womenfolk of Henbung area who stormed the Assam Rifles camp clashed with the troops, resulting in the injury of over 50 women.

UPF said in a statement on Saturday that the detention

and assault were an insult to the significant “tripartite political dialogue” which was held recently in New Delhi among the representatives of the Centre, state and UPF and KNO. “It is also an insult to the whole Kuki community and UPF will not tolerate any insult to the political talks and the Kukis,” UPF said.

Recalling the very day, it alleged that top leaders of KNF including its president, ST Thangboi were on official meeting in connection with the tripartite talks at Hengbung on June 21 was eventually disrupted by the Major Gulati, post commander of 35 AR Hengbung post by apprehending four PSOs of the UPF chairman at the meeting place.

The “tripartite dialogue” which began on June 15 in New Delhi between the two conglomerates of the Kuki militant groups and the governments since the signing of

HAPPY 85TH BIRTHDAY

tripartite SoO in 2008 was a historic event for the whole Kuki community which is well regarded by the governments as well.

UPF questioned whether Major Gulati is actually ignorant of the SoO ground rules or demonstrating his sinister motive to disrupt the dialogue.

UPF further said that UPF regretted to have an Indian Army officer who is not well aware of the SoO ground rules in places where SoO is enforced.

The peace loving UPF in its endeavor to bring peace and lasting solution towards the Kuki political issue had hailed the initiative of the governments for dialogue and welcome any constructive suggestions and efforts from all walks of life for its fertile accomplishment, it stated.

AAP MLA Mohaniya arrested; Arvind Kejriwal slams Modi

Police detain AAP MLA Dinesh Mohaniya in New Delhi on Saturday for allegedly misbehaving with a group of women who had gone to him to complain about water crisis. (PTI) of Police(south East) RP Upadhyay.

Reacting sharply to the arrest of the party MLA, Kejriwal said in a tweet, “Modi declares emergency in Delhi.

Arresting, raiding, terrorising, filing false cases against all those whom Delhi elected (sic).”

In another tweet, the Delhi CM said, “Dinesh mohaniya arrested from his press conference in front of all TV cameras. What msg does Modi want to give to everyone?”

Mohaniya is the eight AAP MLA to be arrested by Delhi Police since the party came to power for the second time in Delhi February 2015.

The MLA was booked on June 23 for allegedly misbehaving with a group of women, who approached him with a complaint regarding water crisis in their locality.

An FIR under Sections 323, 506 and 509 was registered in south Delhi’s Neb Sarai police station.

The police added Sections 354 (assault or criminal force on woman), 354 A (making sexually coloured re-

marks), 354 (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe) and 354 C (Any man who watches, or captures the image of a woman engaging in a private act) of IPC after two of the complainants presented themselves before a magistrate yesterday and their statements were recorded under Section 164 of CrPC. In their statements, the women alleged that Mohaniya also molested them during the tussle on June 22 as they had gone to complain to him against water problem faced by them.

In their complaint, they had earlier told police that the MLA and his men had verbally abused them and threatened them.

Another case has been registered against Mohaniya at Govindpuri Police Station for allegedly slapping a 60year-old man in Tughlaquabad area yesterday.

Shah sounds poll bugle in U’khand, slams Rawat, Cong HARIDWAR, JUN 25 (PTI): Describing the Harish Rawat government in Uttarakhand as “one steeped in corruption”, BJP president Amit Shah Saturday asked the people to dislodge it from power and help the lotus “bloom” in the state.

“With a BJP government at the Centre, it would be ideal if there is a BJP government in the state as well. That would ensure smooth implementation of development schemes conceived for the state by the Centre,” he said sounding the poll bugle from the party’s Shankhnad rally at Rishikul Maidan here.

Asking the people to get rid of a “corrupt government embroiled in scams”, Shah said if they were looking for development, they should overthrow it in the 2017 Assembly polls in the state and let the lotus bloom. Mocking at Congress for accusing BJP of “murdering democracy” in the hill state, Shah urged the people never to forget June 25, the date on which former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had declared Emergency and “muzzled the whole nation”. “You should never forgive those who imposed Emergency and murdered democracy silencing a whole nation and reducing the media to a helpless mouthpiece of those in power,” he said.

Assuring that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had “grandiose” plans for Uttarakhand, Shah said it was necessary to have a BJP government in the state to help those plans materialise.

Taking a dig at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for “repeatedly asking” what has the BJP government done in the last two years, he said the party has given the country an “audible” Prime Minister in place of “one who was audible only to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi”. “You ask us what did we do? My answer is, we have given the country a Prime Minister who speaks. You had

given the country a PM who could be heard either by you or Soniaji,” he said, adding that the Congress’ also left a legacy of scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore.

Rolling out a long list of schemes launched by the Modi government, especially for the poor, farmers and women, the BJP president said Rahul should pose the question to Rawat instead.

“While you (Rahul) relax and beat the heat in a foreign land, you ask us what did we do in two years. You better ask that question to your Harish Rawat whom the whole country saw negotiating a deal to buy back the support of disgruntled MLAs for Rs 5 crore each,” said Shah referring to the sting CD controversy involving the Uttarakhand Chief Minister.

With his “track record of corruption”, Rawat has no right to remain as the Chief Minister even for a minute, he said, exhorting the people to give BJP a mandate so that Centre’s schemes, including distribution of free LPG connections to five crore poor by 2018, could be achieved in totality.

Security of CRPF camp tightened due to threat

J A M S H E D P U R (JHARKHAND), JUN 25 (PTI): Security have been beefed up in a CRPF camp and some police stations of Maoisthit Ghatsila sub-division in East Singhbhum district following information provided by a youth who managed to escape after being abducted by the rebels.

“We have made tight security arrangements around Musaboni CRPF camp and some police stations of the sub-division based on the inputs provided by the youth,” Superintendent of Police (Rural), Md. Arshi, said. The youth told his interrogators that at least 50 Naxals including women with sophisticated firearms assembled in the jungle to attack the CRPF camp and some police stations, he said. Some of the Naxals seemed to have come from outside Jharkhand as they were speaking in Bengali and Odiya, the youth told police. Arshi said, “We have been receiving such threats from the Maoists but it was authenticated following the disclosure by the youth.”

Govt should tell why India didn’t get NSG berth: CPI(M) BHUBANESWAR, JUN 25 (PTI): CPI(M) today questioned the Modi government why India failed to become a member of NSG and how New Delhi’s case was presented in the plenary of the 48-member group.

“We have asked the government about the reason behind India failing to get an NSG spot and are awaiting a reply,” CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury told reporters here.

Reports say some countries like Mexico and Switzerland did not support India’s bid despite their assurances.

Even Brazil and South Africa did not push India’s case, he said.

“We want to know how India’s case was presented and the reason why the bid failed,” Yechury, a member of Parliament’s Consultative Committee, said. Attacking the Modi government’s economic policies, he said one of the reasons why RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan wants to return to academics after completing his tenure could be a difference

Sitaram Yechury of opinion over use of the extra resource finance of the central bank. “The NDA government wants to bail out some defaulting corporate houses that do not pay back loans to nationalised banks. It wants that RBI should adjust NPAs of the banks through extra resource finance and Rajan does not agree to it,” Yechury said.

Besides, the Modi government was not happy with Rajan’s opinion of changing law and creating a provision for recollecting loans from a group of companies if one of the units failed to repay, he said.

Issue of immigration

B

ritish prime minster David Cameron lost the referendum when the British people rejected his call to remain with the European Union by voting to leave, at the historic vote and for which he had to take moral responsibility and resign. The decision in favour of Brexit(Leave) , following a bitterly close electoral race, represents the biggest shock to the political establishment in Britain and across. The vote also exposed underlining cracks within the UK when Scotland vote by majority to Stay as also Northern Ireland. The referendum on Brexit has been increasingly contentious and emotional. Among the most deeply felt issues has been immigration. Leave campaigners say there has been a net migration increase. Net migration’ is the number of people immigrating to the UK minus those emigrating from it Britons feel that immigrants working in UK on certain jobs is good but that their continued stay is not welcome. Those who favoured Leave felt that immigration was a cause of concern under the EU as people from all of Europe were entitled to work and stay in any part of EU. The recent wave of immigration from largely Muslim countries in West Asia and Africa has suffered a totally negative and hostile perception notably due to the spate of terror attacks in France, Belgium, Germany. Considering the statistics that there are 30 lakh immigrants in the UK who make up 6.6 % of the work force and that 71% of them qualify for permanent residence. The other issue involved is on whether the resident immigrants can bring their family members to the UK ? Germany receives the highest number of immigrants most of who gain entry under the plea of seeking asylum. In 2015 alone Germany took in more than 4.76 lakh and over half a decade more than ten lakh immigrants have entered the country and staying on under the plea of political asylum. Europe has been flooded by millions of immigrants from West Asia, Africa and Asian during the recent decade and more are still pouring in. With rise in radicalisation of Islam and thousands lured by Islamic terrorism, there is much disquiet in many parts of Europe. It is therefore, not difficult to understand how the issue had dominated the Brexit vote. The issue of extremismimmigration has also become another big issue in the United States where presumptive candidate of the Republican party Donald Trump has raised the decibel level. It is reported, that in the USA there are 1.1 to 1.2 crore illegal immigrants most of who are Latino and Mexicans. America’s exceptional status as a “nation of immigrants” is being challenged by globalization, which is making both migration and terrorism much easier. The biggest challenge for policymakers is distinguishing illusory immigration problems from real problems. Illegal immigration into the United States is massive in scale. More than 10 million undocumented aliens currently reside in the U.S., and that population is growing by 700,000 per year. Incidentally, the issue of illegal immigrants, was highlighted during the Assam students agitation during the 70s. Most north eastern states in India are also faced with the problem. The immigrant problem in the region is accentuated by the distinction made between refugees and aliens which essentially borders on religious lines. However, the issue is bound to become a serious issue in the near future, if not handled sensibly.

DailyDevotion Receiving Yourself in the Fires of Sorrow …what shall I say? “Father, save Me from this hour”?

But for this purpose I came to this hour. “Father, glorify Your name.” —John 12:27-28 As a saint of God, my attitude toward sorrow and difficulty should not be to ask that they be prevented, but to ask that God protect me so that I may remain what He created me to be, in spite of all my fires of sorrow. Our Lord received Himself, accepting His position and realizing His purpose, in the midst of the fire of sorrow. He was saved not from the hour, but out of the hour.

We say that there ought to be no sorrow, but there is sorrow, and we have to accept and receive ourselves in its fires. If we try to evade sorrow, refusing to deal with it, we are foolish. Sorrow is one of the biggest facts in life, and there is no use in saying it should not be. Sin, sorrow, and suffering are, and it is not for us to say that God has made a mistake in allowing them.

Sorrow removes a great deal of a person’s shallowness, but it does not always make that person better. Suffering either gives me to myself or it destroys me. You cannot find or receive yourself through success, because you lose your head over pride. And you cannot receive yourself through the monotony of your daily life, because you give in to complaining. The only way to find yourself is in the fires of sorrow. Why it should be this way is immaterial. The fact is that it is true in the Scriptures and in human experience.

You can always recognize who has been through the fires of sorrow and received himself, and you know that you can go to him in your moment of trouble and find that he has plenty of time for you. But if a person has not been through the fires of sorrow, he is apt to be contemptuous, having no respect or time for you, only turning you away. If you will receive yourself in the fires of sorrow, God will make you nourishment for other people.

Post-mortem Response on ‘LH clarifies to NGBF’s appeal’ T

his press release is in response to the news item “LH clarifies to NGBF’s appeal on oil exploration” which appeared on 7th June issue of your esteemed daily. While the matter of Petroleum and Natural Gas issue is subjudiced as a result of the PIL filed by members of Lotha Hoho on the matter, the undersigned are compelled to issue this press release as it is deemed that the 2nd last paragraph of the news item will invariably create confusion in the minds of the general public both within and outside the Community (Lotha). It is mentioned that six memorandums and appeals, including that of Lotha Legislators in 2008 have been submitted to the Government and that response was being awaited. The Legislators submitted no memorandum in 2008 as implied. Therefore, this is a clarification of the Lotha Legislators of the 11th NLA (2008-13) to allay any confusions or misunderstanding that may have resulted.

In view of the fact that all the four Legislators of the District were in the treasury bench of the Government, Lotha Community raised hopefulness that its Legislators will take good initiatives and leadership for all round development of the District and in particular, to revive exploration and extraction of oil in the District. Accordingly, on this issue(oil exploration and extraction) multiple meetings were held with the Lotha Gazette Officers’ Union, the Kyong Hoho and its frontal Units, LLRPO, Kohima and Dimapur Lotha Hohos, The Kyong Students’ Union, the concerned Land Owners etc.

Discussions mainly focused on Changpang oil fields, which are already producing fields. After these deliberations, consensual points specially related to installation of mid downstream facilities and protection of the rights of the landownersin terms of rehabilitation, employment and land usewere hammered out. These were summarized into a concise charter and a DO Letter was written to the Principal Secretary Department of Geology and Mining; Govt. of Nagaland on 15th July 2008 by the four Legislators on behalf of the Lotha Community (barely four months after the formation of the 11th House of the NLA). The wish of the people of Wokha District was also brought to the notice of the then Chief Minister Shri Neiphi-u Rio with whom the Legislators had a very progressive discussion.

With this consensus among different Lotha leaders and the landowners,the issue was taken up for Cabinet discussions. This in time led to the formation of a Cabinet Sub-Committee on oil led by Shri T. R. Zeliang, the then Minister Planning and present Hon. Chief Minister of the State. Shri Y. Patton Hon. Minister Home who was the then Parliamentary Secretary holding the charge of Geology and Mining was also made a member of the CSC. The first step taken by the CSC was to advice the Cabinet on the need to pass an assembly Resolution on Article 371 A. Accordingly the 26th July 2010 Assembly Resolution on Article came into being which is now a history. The CSC painstakingly researched into all aspects of oil exploration& Extraction searching out worldwide experiences by involving experts in the field, but always keeping Article 371 A in the picture making it the basis of all discussions.

Ultimately, after a process of consultations involving Tribal Hohos, the Nagaland P&NG

D

Regulations 2012 was passed in the Assembly on 22nd September 2012 and the Nagaland P&NG Rules 2012 was framed and notified on 7th December 2012.

Again, following laying of the draft Regulations for discussion, Lotha Community leaders raised points of shortfalls and for inclusion in the Regulations. Therefore a meeting of Wokha District Legislators, Lotha Gazetted Officers’ Union, Kyong Hoho, LLRPO, Kohima Lotha Hoho, Dimapur Lotha Hoho, CLOU, Kyong Eloe Hohoand Kyong Students’ Unionwas convened on the 9th September 2012 at Hotel Japfu. All but Dimapur Lotha Hoho attended the meeting. The five hour long meeting which started at 02:00 pm deliberated on revenue sharing, infrastructure, employment opportunities, issue related to land use and the need for inclusive and consultative approach. Finally, a 5 (five) point charter of demands were filtered and agreed upon by raise of hands and the same with appended signatures were submitted to the Convener CSC the same night. The Convener CSC was very receptive as all the demand made were duly taken into consideration except the revenue sharing which the convener said was done after much research and rates laid were minimum and base point subject to variability on bidding. Meaning, the shares will be invariably more than what has been laid in the Regulations. After all these participatory approach, many Lothas were taken by surprise by the PIL. Let it be known that the present PIL is not a conscious decision of Lotha Tribe but a decision of a handful of people from the Tribe. Importantly, it (the PIL) also does not have the will of the landowners of the District at stake.

The following excerpts from the Nagaland P&NG Regulations 2012 & The Nagaland P&NG Rules 2012will make clear how diligently the Regulations and Rules explicated Article 371 A and sought in all possible ways to protect Naga Customary Law and the rights of the landowners and importantly an inclusive approach involving Tribal Hohos.

1. Indicators of protection of Naga Customary Law. Regulation 5 No owner of land or oil and gas well in Nagaland, whether an individual or a village body or the State Government shall alienate land or such well in favour of a non-Naga or a Company but may give consent to a non-Naga or a Company to access land or oil or gas well for pre-production, production and post-production operation in a zone, which shall revert to the owner at the end of the operations.

Regulation 12 (f) The Company should have trust in Nagas, their culture, customs and way of life.

Regulation 16 The company operating under these Rules shall name all petroleum and natural gas products and by-products by prefixing to the name of every such product or by product the Brand Name “Naga”……

Regulation 22 (1) Every company, before being issue with a permit for pre-production production or post-production operations shall give an undertaking to the State Government that it shall bind itself to the Naga customary practices of the respective Tribes.

Rules 9 (2)(iii) Every expression of interest shall contain… An undertaking that the company shall bind itself to the

Naga customary practices of the respective tribes as required under Regulation No. 22.

Rules 24 (2) T h e Hoho(s) will have primordial responsibility in adjudging the ground situation in the Zones and in serving as a link between the State Government and the Land owners and the Village Councils, so that the customary practices of the Nagas and the corporate practices of the companies are harmonized in the best ways with the least detriment to each other.

2. Indicators of the inclusive nature of The P&NG Regulation & Rules2012 and delegation of authority to Tribal Hohos and Village Councils.

Regulation 4 (1); 3 An individual owner of oil or gas well in Nagaland and /or lands in a zone shall be certified to be so by the village council concerned.

Regulation 13 (3) No permit for pre-production or postproduction operations shall be issue to a company and no renewal of permit or fresh issue of permit shall be done, without an agreement providing for the land access annually in advance to the land owners, being signed between the Government on behalf of the landowners, and the company, with the Tribal Hoho(s) and the Village Councils concerned as witnesses.

Regulation 13 (4) Immediately upon signing of the Agreement as in clause 13(3), another Agreement shall be signed between the land owners and the company for handing over the land for access to the company for the requisite period, with the Village Council concerned as witness.

Regulation 14 (5) No permit for production operations shall be issued to a company without an agreement to the aforesaid revenue sharing arrangement signed between the Government on behalf of the landowners, and the company, with the Tribal Hoho(s) and the Village Councils concerned as witnesses.

Regulation 23 (2) Monitoring and Reporting: There shall be a Committee at the District level of the Zone(s) concerned with Deputy Commissioner as the Head and the President(s) of Tribal Hoho(s) as members with representatives drawn from the private landowners and village councils.

Rules 5 The President of Naga Hoho and the President ENPO shall be ex-officio permanent invitees to the Meeting of the Board (Nagaland P&NG Board). There is objection to this clause from certain sections because of the fact that Naga Hoho jurisdiction has expanded to areas outside Nagaland and therefore the awkward possibility of a Non-Nagaland Naga holding the post of Naga Hoho president. This is not a big issue, the State Government of Nagaland can direct Naga Hoho and ENPO to create a Committee on P&NG in their respective Organizations with members comprising of Nagas of Nagaland only. The Conveners of the two Committees can be made the permanent ffxinvitees to the Nagaland P&NG Board. Rules 12 (2), Rules 19 (7), 21 (4) may also be accordingly amended.

Rules 12 (2) The President of Naga Hoho, the President of ENPO and the Presidents of respective Tribal Hoho(s) of the Zone(s) may be invited as special invitees to the meeting. (of the Ministerial Group).

Rules 13 (1) The Chair-

man of the Board will request the President of Naga Hoho/ ENPO to obtain consent of the land owners in writing in the form of a “no objection certificate” for undertaking the operations.

Rules 15 (2) …. Immediately upon signing Agreement under Regulation 14 (5), another Agreement shall be signed between the land owners and the company for handing over the land for access to the company for the requisite period, with the village council concerned as witness….

Rules 17 (2) The Deputy Commissioner shall, before finalizing the list of land owners, shall consult (i) the Village Councils; (ii) the Tribal Hohos concerned ……

Rules 19 (7) (Land Access Fee): All disputes relating to payment or nonpayment of moneys in this behalf by the company and to the land owners shall be dealt with by the Board at special sittings convened for the purpose during which the President of Naga Hoho/ENPO and the Presidents of Hohos of the Zone(s) concerned shall assist the Board.

Rules 21 (4) (revenue share): All disputes relating to payment or nonpayment of moneys in this behalf by the company and to the land owners shall be dealt with by the Board at special sittings convened for the purpose during which the President of Naga Hoho/ENPO and the Presidents of Hohos of the Zone(s) concerned shall assist the Board.

Rules 24 (1) Hoho(s) to play lead role: The Naga Hoho, the ENPO and the respective Tribal Hoho(s) shall have a lead role in maximizing economic benefits for the landowners, a sustainable development of the areas under operations and other infrastructure and commercial investments in the zones and the State as a whole.

Rules 24 (2) ( s t a t e d above) 3. Indicators that the rightsand benefits of the landowners have been duly considered. …..the State Government shall carefully keep in view …

Regulation 12 (b) The plan of the Company in regards to corporate social responsibility especially for providing a sustainable income generation ambience to the people of the areaconcerned and for promoting health, education and infrastructural development.

Revival of Tuli paper mill

uring my tenure as MP (LS) I had physically visited Tuli paper mill to ascertain the position of the mill on that day where I was accompanied by the present minister RD, C. L.John. After visiting the TPM (Pvt. Ltd) I had taken up in with many concern ministry for revival of Tuli paper mill. Now, I have seen in all local news paper that, government of India assured to sanction Rs. 30 crore to Hindustan Paper Corporation and Rs. 12 crore would be made available to Nagaland Pulp & Paper Company Limited (NPCC Ltd.) to clear machineries repair. Yes, this topic may be new to this government

while taking up the matter.

However, let me give detail reason for consumption of the government.

Basing on my request government of India has taken up the matter with concern ministry and the department.

Accordingly Mukesh Nigam department of Heavy Industry had a letter vide letter No. 8(38) 2004-PE VII dated 29 December 2005 to R.C Thamlani advisor (IBVSE) of Planning Commission, subsequently department of heavy industry made a presentation in planning commission on revival scheme of NPPL. Lts on 16/02/2006. After examining the proposal the planning commission and the commission agreed to accord

in principle andapproved for financing the scheme and decided to make available of Rs. 50 crore for three years from non-lapsable funds (DONER). Department of heavy industry presented the outlay and approved by the Planning Commission, which even agreed to the proposal for furnishing a counter guarantee for the term and working capital loan since state could not manage. Therefore, my appeal to government of Nagaland particularly commerce and industry to know the fact if government is so interested to revive the NPPC Ltd. If need be the department can collect the paper from me.

leum and not less than two percent in the case of natural gas to the District Development Board of that zone.

Regulation 17 (1) …. Shall compulsorily reserve not less than 50 % jobs of unskilled category and 10% of non-technical white collar jobs to Naga youths from the respective oil/ gas bearing Districts in all (i) pre-production (ii) production and (iii) post-production operations.

These excer pts from the Regulation and Rules are enough indicators that all due consideration have been given to our customary practices and the rights of landowners.

Also that, the Tribal Hohos and Village Councils of the producing zones are empowered.The landowners stand to have multiple benefits viz. from the revenue share, the land access fee, employment and from corporate social actions and also not forgetting by reversion of the land to the respective owners on completion of operations.

Fellow Nagas,its high time truth goes into our minds and understand without confusion that,notwithstanding anything laid in the Constitution of India, Article 371 A, only seeks to empowers the State Legislative Assembly to resolve on whether or not to accept any Acts of Parliament in respect of (i) Religious and Social practices of Nagas, (ii) Naga customary law and procedure, (iii) administration of civil and criminal justice involving decisions according to Naga customary law. (iv) ownership and transfer of land and its resources. In regards to P&NG,this means that, Indian Petroleum Act 1934 and the Indian Petroleum Rules 1976 should not be applicable to the State of Nagaland ifNagaland State Assembly resolves not to. Otherwise our State will continue to be bound by the same Indian Act & Rules on P&NG. Framing of Nagaland P&NG Regulations and Rules 2012 was therefore in the right direction and constitutional.

The opening statement of the Nagaland P&NGRegulation 2012 is quoted here for readers’ understanding; “…WHEREAS the Nagaland Legislative Assembly, in exercise of its powers under Article 371-A(1)(a) of the Constitution of India, had unanimously passed a Resolution on the 26th July 2010 rendering inter alia all Acts of Parliament governing petroleum and natural gas inapplicable to the State of Nagaland…. … NOW THEREFORE, in continuation of the legislative affirmation as contained in the Resolution dated the 26th July, 2010 and in exercise of its special Constitutional powers conferred upon it by the provisions in article 371-A(1)(a) of the Constitution of India, the Nagaland Legislative Assembly hereby resolves to re-state the customary practices of Nagas to “ownership of land and its resources” particularly in relation to petroleum and natural gas within the territory of Nagaland by enacting the following Regulations.”

In conclusion the undersigned also urge the Lothahoho to withdraw the PIL on P&NG as it tantamount to challenging the constitutional authority of Nagaland Legislative Assembly as provided under Article 371 A .And also not to mislead people with wrong information.

To the president NNC, Adinuo Phizo

A

wonderful opportunity for the Naga political final settlement has arrived at hand during your leadership time and for which submission of this appeal letter.

First of all I would like to congratulate you and thank you for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to meet you today for sharing our heavy responsibility. That by the grace of the Almighty God the door of the Naga political final settlement is opened to us and for which I thankful to prime minister, Narendra Modiji that there shall be no more war between the GoI and the Nagas and signed a peace accord on 3rd August 2015 between the two nations by the GoI and the Nagas led by NSCN (IM) and now the process of amicable and honourable settlement is on the way which will be involved with all section of the Nagas that the overground and underground Nagas to settle the issue as one and for all.

That madam, you are well aware that the Nagas have greatly changed their living standard during the last 50-60 years due to Naga political issue based on 1951 Naga plebiscite conducted under the leadership of your father A. Z. Phizo, the president of NNC who already gave his life for the Nagas during the 1990 and the Nagas buried him at Kohima and written his name as the father of Naga nation on his memorial stone at new secretariat area Nagaland.

That to speak the truth, that due to non settlement of Naga political issue the Naga national political group (NNPG) has divided into many factions, but all of them are from the offshoots of the NNC only. And as such, no faction or group have right to claim that he/she is the right group for the Nagas and the other factions or groups are wrong party. All of them must come together into one conclusive point while the final settlement is to take place. And now this is the right time for the whole Nagas to achieve the Naga common goal as endorsed by the Nagas.

That madam, by the grace of Almighty God, the time of the Naga political final settlement has come to us during your leadership and your life time we are to achieve the final goal of the NNC which field is already ripe. Come forward and settle the issue with the other NNPG and fulfil the dream of your father. During the life time of your father A. Z. Phizo the father of Naga nation, he said that though you have demanded rupee one you may be sold out at 75 paisa if the same amount is reasonable for the Nagas.

I on my behalf and on behalf of the whole Naga village chief (GB) would like to appeal you and your government to fulfil the dream of your father for the Nagas during your presidentship as desired by the Nagas and your authority of presidency ship should not be handed over to any new leader while the opportunity is at in your hand. Come forward and settle the Naga political final goal with the other leaders of the NNPG. Do not miss this opportunity which is at your hand for disposal of the Naga issue.

Reader’s Post

“Open Letter” to EE PWD (R&B), Atoizu

Sir,

Our appeal for the road diversion under the CRF road construction from Phuye New to AichiSaghe village against the Suruhuto Medical Colony to Kitsakita road was utterly neglected and turned to deaf ears, without any intimations or consultations since a year ago. Neither our appeal demanding for road diversion of Phuye New to AicheSaghe village nor the officially sanctioned road project upgradation i.e Suruhuto Medical Colony to Kitsakita road were never maintained nor upgraded yet. However, we had learnt that all the money/funds meant for the road upgradation had already been sanctioned and withdrawn, whereas the construction, development or roads upgradation was never initiated or visible till date. In this connection, we, the ASVC held numerous marathon meetings including all concerned Kükami/GBs, council members and elders as per the direction of the EE PWD (R&B), Atoizu, but the concerned nodal department, contractor (s) or the local MLA failed to attend the meeting nor deputed any representatives on various occasion since last year till date. As per the directives of the concerned department.

Therefore, We are constrained and compelled to seek an open explanation of all the failures, non development or road upgradations; we want to know, where has all the money/funds sanctioned and withdrawn year long ago in 2014-2015 financial year gone or vanished?

Chairman, Aichi Saghemi Village Council (ASVC)

Explaining the process, the officer said that India had sent a letter of request to the US government showing interest in buying the guns which will be deployed in high altitude areas in Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh, bordering China.

The US had responded with a Letter of Acceptance and today’s DAC looked into the terms and conditions and approved it.

This letter will now be sent back to the US and the process for the payment of first installment will begin.

NEW DELHI, JUN 25 (AGENCIES): With the draft of the Full-Statehood Bill already in the public domain for suggestions, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said that there will be a referendum on the full statehood for Delhi soon. Taking a cue from Britain, which held a referendum on Thursday whether to remain or exit the European Union, Mr. Kejriwal said that Delhi will go through the same. Expressing his views he tweeted, “After UK referendum, delhi will soon have a referendum on full statehood (sic).” The demand of full statehood to Delhi was AAP’s poll plank and with the Centre and Delhi government constantly at loggerheads for control over Delhi Police, Land and transfer or posting of officials, Mr. Kejriwal in the past had also sought legal opinion on holding a referendum in the city.

When in 2015 Greece held a referendum, Mr Kejriwal had asked officials to explore the option for Delhi.

Meanwhile, Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken said his party was opposed to the idea of holding a referendum, which he termed a “dangerous” one. “The Constitution does not provide for holding any kind of referendum. Mr. Kejriwal is treading on a dangerous path. Other States will also start demanding referendums, including a plebiscite in Kashmir.

NEW DELHI, JUN 25 (PTI): Defence Ministry Saturday paved the way for purchase of 145 Ultra Light Howitzers, worth about USD 750 million, from the US and also approved bulk production of 18 Dhanush artillery guns, the first acquisition of such weapon systems by the Army in three decades since the Bofors scandal.

Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, took up 18 proposals including new schemes worth Rs 28,000 crore for discussion.

Another key project that got an Acceptance of Necessity (AON), which will now allow the Navy to issue tenders, was the proposal

was delay in lodging of FIR and medical examination of the victim.

The Union Agriculture minister asked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar what kind of administration is working in Bihar that there is no fear of law among the criminals.

Criminals’ morale would be high if the government failed to tame such incidents, Singh said while cautioning the state government that it would be difficult for it (state) to stem people’s angst.

Kushwaha too echoed similar sentiments and demanded “speedy trial and stern action” against the culprits.

“The situation in Bihar is worse than what it was before 2005 but the state government is not ready to accept the reality. Incidents of crime are taking place every day in different parts of the districts of the state,” Kushwaha said adding that Nitish Kumar is not ready to accept that “Sushashan does not exist in the state”.

Police had yesterday arrested one Samiullah from Chhitauni bus stand in Motihari town in connection with the incident.

A three-member medical board which examined the girl on June 15 and June 22, however, did not confirm the rape, district Superintendent of Police Jitendra Rana had stated Friday.

KOLKATA, JUN 25 (PTI): West Bengal speaker Biman Banerjee Saturday asked Trinamool Congress MLA Abdul Khaleque Mollah to submit his mobile to him while the debate on state budget was going on.

When another Trinamool Congress MLA Pulin Behari Roy started speaking on the budget just after the recess, the mobile phone of Mollah, who was sitting next to Roy, began to ring.

Baner jee asked the member to submit the mobile to him else he would ask the marshall to sieze it.

Mollah then went up to the Speaker and handed over his mobile to him.

Later, it was returned when he was leaving the assembly.

When the session resumed after the break, RSP member Bishwanath Chaudhury drew the attention of the Speaker saying that the attendance of the members from both the ruling and opposition parties was thin and the debate be put on hold since the issue under discussion was very important.

Banerjee said there was quorum in the house and the debate could continue.

Also it was advisable that members from both the camps should be serious in attending the house.

MOTIHARI, JUN 25 (PTI): Two Union ministers, hailing from Bihar, today demanded speedy trial in the attempt to rape case in East Champaran district and stern action against the accused.

Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Radha Mohan Singh and Union Minister of State for Human Resources Development Upendra Kushwaha met the family members of the victim and enquired about the condition of the girl who is admitted to Motihari Sadar Hospital.

Both the ministers later visited the hospital to enquire about the victim’s health.

The girl, in her complaint, had alleged that her neighbour Samiullah had raped her on June 13 at Jamai Tola village of East Champaran district.

She informed her mother of the incident and lodged a complaint on June 15 in this regard at Ramgarhwa police station of the district.

Comparing the incident with Delhi’s Nirbhaya rape incident, Singh said, “This is the repetition of Nirbahaya incident... Bihar is witnessing the situation (law & order) that was prevailing 15 years ago.” “It is an administrative failure and lapse on part of police machinery. The government should conduct speedy trial and ensure stern action,” he said while expressing shock that there

Union ministers demand speedy trial in ‘rape’ case

Subramanian Swamy

K-2200

NEW DELHI, JUN 25 (PTI): Robert Vadra Saturday took a dig at Subramanian Swamy for his “derogatory” remarks about waiters and termed them “classist”, prompting the BJP MP to retort that he should concentrate on “staying out of jail” instead of making political comments.

Vadra, who is Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s sonin-law, earlier in the day attacked Swamy over his apparent swipe at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in which he had said ministers who wear a coat and tie look like waiters and must be instructed to wear Indian clothes.

In a Facebook post, Vadra said, “Undermining waiters who work hard for a living; making condescending and derogatory remarks about them is deplorable and classist”.

Swamy soon hit back.

“Mr Vadra should concentrate on staying out of jail instead of making political comments,” he told reporters.

Asked about the reported unhappiness of the BJP leadership over his consistent tirade against Jaitley and his ministry’s officials, he said, “That is what your press is saying. I don’t know.”

Her rivals in the National Conference and the Congress had made Mehbooba Mufti’s decision to continue the alliance with BJP a hallmark of their electoral campaign in Anantnag.

The by-election was necessitated because of the death of her father, then Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. The late Chief Minister represented the seat in the assembly that has an effective strength of 87.

“It is a perfect example of Make in India and an engineering marvel in aviation history of India. It proves that when all agencies come together with one mission, there is nothing like impossible”, said T Suvarna Raju, CMD, HAL who was present on the occasion.

He pointed out that this programme was taken up by HAL as an indigenous challenge at its Nashik Division and the required data was generated without the assistance of OEM for the modification.

“She has won people’s endorsement for the vision of Mufti Muhammad Sayeed,” a senior PDP minister told IANS. Opposition candidates alleged that the Chief Minister “engineered” her victory by using the government machinery in her favour.

The Congress’ Shah alleged discrepancies in some Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) as they were “not sealed properly” and that postal ballots were counted as “bogus votes”.

“They have changed the voting machines. This is a murder of democracy.

We nationalist forces had to come together because there was a danger” Swamy said alleging Sonia Gandhi had tried to decalred a state of emergency in 2011-12 “cooking up this Hindu terror basis”.” Under criticism over his “waiter” jibe, Swamy made tongue-in-cheek remarks today complimenting Jaitley for his “smart” looks and ticking off Robert Vadra, who spoke of the dignity of waiters.

He said he did not target anybody and what he only wanted was politicians should not look like waiters.

“The attire comment was not against anybody. I only said politicians should not look like waiters. There is nothing wrong in it (to wear such attires). I said they should not be mistaken...thats all,” Swamy said in press conference here.

“I did not aim anybody.

Actually Mr Jaitley looks very smart in the attire. He looks like an exception,” he said.

Swamy also hit back at Robert Vadra, who criticised him for his “derogatory” remarks about waiters and termed them “classist”, saying Vadra was pained as his mother was a waitress in a restaurant in England.

NEW DELHI, JUN 25 (PTI): In a boost to India’s air strike capability, frontline fighter aircraft Su-30 MKI today flew with an integrated BrahMos supersonic cruise missile that has a range of over 290 kms, making IAF the only air force in the world in possession of such a system.

With this successful flight, the BrahMos air version programme now inches closer towards actual test firing when a 2,500 kg BrahMos air-to-ground missile will be fired from Sukhoi-30 in coming months. Integration of BrahMos with Su-30 MKI will render the weapon a multi-platform capability while making the IAF the only Air Force in the world in procession of a supersonic cruise missile system.

The Indian Air Force is elated about the enhancement of the firepower and the range this deadly combination of Su30 with Brahmos will provide to them, an official statement said. The powerful missile will enable the IAF penetrate deep inside enemy territories to deliver a deadly blow to their vital installations from stand-off ranges.

The integration brings a paradigm shift in the capability of the IAF vis-a-vis its

A NA N T NAG, J U N 2 5 (IANS): Making mincemeat of her electoral rivals, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday won the Anantnag assembly by-poll by a margin of over 12,000 votes -- in what is seen as a first popularity test of the over year-old PDP-BJP government in the state.

Mehbooba Mufti polled 17,701 votes while her closest rival Hilal Ahmad Shah of the Congress managed just 5,616 of the over 28,500 polled on June 22, an official of the election commission told IANS here.

National Conference’s Iftikhar Hussain Misghar came a distant third with a little over 2,800 votes in the low turnout polling -- 34 per cent -- amid a boycott call by Kashmiri separatists and militants.

In Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated Mehbooba Mufti on her electoral victory.

Modi termed it a “phenomenal victory”.

T H I R U V A N A N THAPURAM, JUN 25 (PTI): BJP MP Subramanian Swamy Saturday sought to downplay his threat of “bloodbath” making it clear he did not intend the literal meaning of the word but only hinted at “chaos” which has not happened.

“I said I am the most disciplined person. If I was indisciplined, there would not be what they called as bloodshed. Bloodshed did not mean blood spilling. Bloodshed means there will be chaos.

And I said that because I am disciplined, nothing of that kind happened,” he told a press conference here.

The BJP leader said his usage of the word was ‘misunderstood’ as everyone took the literal meaning of bloodshed.

Asked about the reported unhappiness of the BJP leadership over his attacks targeting those in the finance ministry, he said, “That is what your press is saying. I don’t know.”

Jaitley had counselled Swamy restraint in public course while attacking government officials who are unable to defend themselves because of office discipline.

The BJP had also distanced itself from Swamy’s attacks on Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian

Mumbai, Jun 25 (IANS): Britain’s exit from the European Union (Brexit) is likely to keep the Indian rupee under a tight bear grip of around Rs 67-68 to a US dollar in the very near-term.

According to experts, the negative impacts of Brexit will further divert foreign funds from the bourses and currencies of India and other emerging markets (EMs) to more stable investment options like gold, silver and the US dollar.

The Indian rupee is predicted to range between 67.2068.20 in the very near-term.

“Now that Brexit is over, equities and currencies have pulled back a bit before close.

Rupee looks forward to monsoon, and the monsoon session (of parliament),” Hiren Sharma, Senior Vice President, Currency Advisory at Anand Rathi Financial Services, told IANS. “Rupee is expected to be in a range of 67.20/66.80 to 67.80/68.20 in the very near-term.”

Experts further said that the extreme volatility of “Black Friday” -- June 24, 2016 -- when Britain decided to exit the EU will be overcome eventually, though investors are expected to be “very cautious before taking on any fresh positions.”

On Friday, the Indian rupee weakened by 71 paise to 67.96-97 against a US dollar from its previous close of 67.25-26 to a greenback. It had dived over 1.4 per cent to an intra-day low of 68.22 to a US dollar.

On a weekly basis, the currency fell by 88 paise to 67.96-97 against a US dollar from its previous close of 67.09 to a greenback.

The barometer 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the BSE closed on Friday at 26,397.71 points, down 604.51 points, or 2.24 per cent.

This was the biggest fall in percentage terms since May 12, 2015, which wiped off nearly Rs 3.3 lakh crore in the market capitalisation of BSE listed stocks.

The Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) recouped some losses and ended at 8,088.60 points, down 181.85 points, or 2.20 percent.

Bansi Madhavani, analyst, India Ratings and Research, told IANS that an immediate sentiment of risk aversion is likely to keep the rupee on the defensive amid heightened volatility; however relatively stronger macro fundamentals may cushion the impact vis-à-vis its peers.

mance criterion should not be allowed to earn future annual increments. The Commission is therefore proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.

This will act as a deterrent for complacent and inefficient employees. However, since this is not a penalty, the norms for penal action in disciplinary cases involving withholding increments will not be applicable in such cases. This will be treated as an efficiency bar,” it said in the report submitted to the government.

BEIJING, Jun 25 (PTI): Sky is the limit for investments in India and its economic growth is sustainable because it has a lot of distance to cover, finance minister Arun Jaitley said on Sunday.

“It (growth) is sustainable for the reason that India has lot of distance in terms of economic growth to cover,” Jaitley, who is here on a five-day visit, told Chinese state-run CCTV in an interview.

In view of this a lot of potential exists for investments in infrastructure, urbanisation, housing, power, water and social sector, he said.

“For us today sky is the limit. That is the kind of investments we require. Therefore a lot of economic activity has to go into it. Currently public finances are taking the lead in doing so. I am sure in due course as the economy is picking up, private sector will also boost this,” Jaitley said.

“Secondly we grew in the last two years despite the fact that we had less than normal monsoon. Monsoon plays very important role in India’s economic growth. This year

So, we need to study... how this Blockchain technology can be used in financial transactions where the entire data systems move to some more levels,” Khan told reporters at an event organised by the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT). “We have a group of officials from RBI, IDRBT and industry people

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity dropped by Rs 485 each to Rs 30,400 and Rs 30,250 per ten grams, respectively.

The precious metal had surged Rs 1,215, its biggest single-day gain since August 2013 in yesterday’s trade as Britain voted to exit the European Union leading to bloodbath in global equity and currency markets.

Sovereign followed suit and declined by Rs 100 to Rs 23,300 per piece of eight grams.

On the other hand, silver ready advanced by Rs 90 to Rs 42,390 per kg, while weekly based delivery fell by Rs 310 to Rs 42,150 per kg on lack of speculators buying support.

On the other hand, silver coins held steady at Rs 72,000 for buying and Rs 73,000 for selling of 100 pieces.

New Delhi, Jun 25 (PTI): Making a contrarian pitch, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Group Chairman Anand Mahindra today said Brexit is an “exaggerated” Tsunami alert to the world which needs to “take a tranquiliser”. A day after Britain voted to leave the European Union, Mahindra tweeted: “Brexit is a Tsunami alert to the world that I believe is exaggerated. The world needs to take a tranquiliser.” Explaining the rationale, he said: “The European experiment was akin to rolling a boulder uphill in the absence of complete political and fiscal union.” Mahindra feels that the post-Brexit negotiations are an opportunity to design a more practical global template for common markets and travel access. Yesterday, industry leaders had cautioned that India cannot be in a denial mode as the referendum has opened a “Pandora’s box of grave uncertainties” and Indian companies, especially those in the information sector, will have to rework their strategies for the region.

The Commission has also recommended introduction of the Performance Related Pay (PRP) for all categories of central government employees.

The panel said, “There is a widespread perception that increments as well as upward movement in the hierarchy happen as a matter of course.

The perception is that grant of Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP), although subject to the employee attaining the laid down threshold of performance, is taken for granted.”

New Delhi, Jun 25 (PTI): Gold prices fell from a 26month high by plunging Rs 485 to Rs 30,400 at the bullion market today on considerable fall in demand from jewellers at prevailing higher levels amid profit-selling by stockists, even as the metal strengthened overseas.

However, silver continued its upward journey and advanced by Rs 90 to Rs 42,390 per kg on increased off take by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said slowdown in buying by jewellers at existing higher levels at domestic markets, mainly led to fall in gold prices.

Besides, some retailers selling old gold further influenced trading sentiment, they added.

They said however, a firming trend overseas, where gold surged the most since 2008 after the UK voted to exit the European Union, causing turmoil across markets and boosting haven demand, capped the fall.

“This is likely to support the emerging markets, once the panic subsides,” Madhavani said.

“Over the coming week, focus will be on how the rest of the EU nations respond to the exit as also how central banks respond to this unprecedented shock.”

Anindya Banerjee, Associate Vice President for Currency Derivatives with Kotak Securities, said: “Over the short run we expect volatility to stay very high, as the central bank’s intervention to stabilise asset prices and market’s attempt to reduce leverage and risk create a perfect storm in financial markets.”

“Emerging market currencies like the rupee are exposed to this kind of volatility.

Though our macros are sound, but weak growth environment and expensive valuation of risk assets can cause the rupee to depreciate against the dollar and yen.”

Banerjee’s forecast pegs the Indian rupee to remain in a broad 67-69 range over the medium term.

all set to embrace the Nicolas Cage & Alice Kim separates Mumbai vivid ‘Colours of North East’

T

he actor’s rep has confirmed that the couple, who have been married for 11 years, separated back in January. The pair have one 10year-old son together, Kal-el Coppola Cage.

Cage and Kim’s whirlwind romance was one for the books. The movie star met

Kim when she was a waitress at Los Angeles restaurant Kabuki back in February 2004, and ended up putting a ring on her finger two months later!

The couple tied the knot at a ranch in northern California in July of that year.

A few years back, Cage explained that his seemingly

sporadic decision to wed Kim, who is 20 years his junior, was so she could travel with him to South Africa while he shot the 2005 film Lord of War. “You can connect the dots. And we did it because we loved each other,” he said.

“I made a very clear decision to marry out of my own zip code,” he said. “I mean, way out of my own zip code. I married into another culture, and it’s interesting because in Korea they call me the Son-in-Law.” This was Cage’s third marriage. The 52-year-old was previously married to actress Patricia Arquette from 1995-2001, and then briefly wed Lisa Marie Prestley for roughly four months in 2002, however their divorce wasn’t finalized until 2004. Cage also has a 25-year-old son,Weston, from a former relationship with model Christina Fulton.

Aziz Ansari articulates fear of Donald Trump

A

ziz Ansari, who can always be relied upon for his humour and insight, has penned a sombre editorial for the New York Times, explaining how the rise of Donald Trump has led him to feel increasing fear for his family.

In the opening of the piece, Ansari reveals that in the wake of the Orlando attack, he texted his Muslim immigrant mother to tell her that she should avoid public places of worship and do all her prayer at home.

He continues: Being Muslim American already carries a decent amount of baggage. In our culture, when people think “Muslim,” the picture in their heads is not usually of the Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, Kareem AbdulJabbar or the kid who left the boy band One Direction. It’s of a scary terrorist character from “Homeland” or some

he third edition of ‘Colours of North East’ is back as a part of North East India Business & Cultural Integration Initiative. The first two editions were attended by the top personalities of Mumbai, and the third edition promises to be bigger and better than ever and would be held on June 30 at the iconic Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai.

With support from various North Eastern States, Taj Group of Hotels and co-organised by Ministry of DoNER, the initiative is driven by the reputed socio-cultural trust of North East, Trend MMS as a part of the North East Festival initiative. IndusInd Bank is the presenting sponsor of the event.

In the evening, Colours of North East would display a beautiful presentation of North Eastern culture.

monster from the news.

Today, with the presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and others like him spewing hate speech, prejudice is reaching new levels. It’s visceral, and scary, and it affects how people live, work and pray. It makes me afraid for my family. It also makes no sense.

He goes on to despair at the fact that ordinary Muslim Americans - and even people who look as if they might be Muslim, including non-religious people such as himself - find themselves under constant pressure to explain that they are not terrorists: I asked a young friend of mine, a woman in her 20s of Muslim heritage, how she had been feeling after the attack. “I just feel really bad, like people think I have more in common with that idiot psychopath than I do the innocent people being killed,” she said. “I’m really sick of having to explain that I’m not a terrorist every time the shooter is brown.”

I myself am not a religious person, but after these attacks, anyone that even looks like they might be Muslim understands the feelings my friend described. There is a strange feeling that you must almost prove yourself worthy of feeling sad and scared like everyone else.

WHEN DRIVING TO THE BIG DREAMS, TAKE THE RIGHT PATH QUESTION: WHY TO INVEST ADDITIONALLY IN COACHING? ANSWER: THE NECESSITY OF COACHING MAKES IT ESSENTIAL AND NOT ADDITIONAL.

If cost is the concern, consider one/two years a student may waste after higher secondary while preparing for entrances if a student doesn’t join coaching while being in school. The cost of coaching will then appear negligible to the precious years of the student’s career.

because of which it becomes extremely crucial for science students to take coaching if they target to clear entrance exams without wasting any year after school.

Most Schools generally lack in giving:  Exposure to Medical & Engineering entrance exams.  Entrance oriented innovative questions because focus is on only board exams in schools.  MCQ practice  Mock tests in exact pattern of medical and engineering exams.  Do not teach important class 11 topics again in class 12, before entrance exams which are absolutely necessary.  No extra classes before entrance exams for better performance in entrances.

QUESTION: HOW WILL THE STUDENT FIND TIME FOR COACHING AFTER SCHOOL AND TUITION? ANSWER: FINDING TIME FOR COACHING CLASSES SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTION BUT A NECESSITY

if one wants the best preparation. Analyze, how many students were successful in entrance & board exams following the traditional method of preparation i.e., just tuitions.

QUESTION: IS IT REALLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE NATIONWIDE FOLLLOWED & PROVEN METHODS? ANSWER: IT IS HIGH TIME THAT PARENTS & STUDENTS SHOULD TAKE UP THE NATIONWIDE FOLLOWED METHODS to ensure success in Medical & Engineering entrances and to ensure high score in board exams simultaneously. All across India, the concept of simultaneous & integrated preparation for board & entrance exams has replaced the concepts of tuitions which are monotonous and redundant.

sports Italy winger Candreva ruled out of Spain clash Montpellier, Jun 25 (IANS): Italy winger Antonio Candreva was on Saturday r uled out due to a right hamstring injury from the prequarterfinal against Spain in the Euro football championship on Monday.

“Antonio Candreva will not be available for Monday’s game against Spain. The Lazio midfielder will not have time to recover from the injury remedied with Sweden,” Italy said in a statement.

The 29-year-old also missed the final group game against Ireland which the latter won 1-0.

Federico Bernardeschi was also rested on Saturday following a knock to the knee, but the team confirmed that he should be back in training on Sunday.

In place of Candreva, Alessandro Florenzi is an alternative on the right side of midfield, though he tends to play as a right-back at Roma.

AIFF chief Patel should resign: Banerjee Mumbai, Jun 25 (IANS): India football great Prasun Banerjee has demanded All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Praful Patel’s resignation as he expressed concern about the state of football in the country after Goan club giants Salgaocar FC and Sporting Clube de Goa decided to pull out of the I-League.

B a n e r j e e, w h o i s a Member of Parliament, said he would raise this issue in the Lok Sabha monsoon session and claimed that Patel, AIFF president since 2009, is “totally unfit” for the job.

“Praful Patel doesn’t love the game and is totally unfit to run Indian football. I strongly opine that he should vacate his post at the earliest and I will also raise this issue in the next session of Lok Sabha,” Banerjee was quoted as saying by goal.com on Friday.

Indian football on Friday received a body blow as Salgaocar FC and Sporting

announced that they will not take part in the 2016-17 I-league season. They joined Pune FC, Bharat FC, Royal Wahingdoh to pull out of I-League in the last couple of years.

Sporting Goa finished fourth in the 2015-16 edition of the league while Salgaocar finished seventh.

Banerjee added: “Just count how many teams have shut shop in the last few years.

What do these people like Kushal Das understand about the game? At least during the Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi era, he requested all experts to express their concerns in seminars. Patel doesn’t even hear the former India players.”

“For example, they could have asked for the opinion of legends like Inder Singh in this matter. It is absolutely shocking that two more clubs have fallen victim to this. Just think about the contribution of JCT and Salgaocar to Indian football and you will understand what exactly we are missing.

role in the development of Indian players.

“I was so happy to see India win against Laos with a big margin. But what happens to the players now? Where will they play with clubs closing down and the ISL having so many foreigners? I don’t have anything against the ISL. But that doesn’t mean that the Federation will not think about Indian players. We used to rule at the continental level and see where we are now,” the 61-year old, who is widely regarded as one of the best central defensive midfielders the country has ever seen, said.

“They have also included my name in the technical committee, but I have never received any letter or any form of communication from them. Now people ask me why do I speak up against AIFF when their website shows me as a member of the committee? This gives you a fair idea about how the game is run here,” Banerjee concluded.

Praful Patel

“Keep this in writing that I will raise this issue in the parliament also when the monsoon session starts next month. I will ask the Sports Minister (Jitendra Singh, Minister of State, Independent Charge) in the zero hour about what he plans to do to do away with this menace. He (Patel) will end up killing Indian football otherwise.” he added.

WADA suspends Rio 2016 drug laboratory

Rio de Janeiro, Jun 25 (IANS): The World AntiDoping Agency (WADA) has suspended the license of a drug laboratory slated to test athletes during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in August.

In a statement on its website on Friday, WADA said the decision was based on the facility’s “non-conformity” with its international standards, reports Xinhua.

The Brazilian doping control laboratory, or LBCD, as it is known, is expected to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

An LBCD spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment.

No offers for Pellegrini to coach Russia Moscow, Jun 25 (IANS): Chilean football coach Manuel Pellegrini did not receive an offer from the Russian Football Union (RFU) to helm the national team, his agent Jesus Martinez has confirmed.

A Spanish sports daily reported earlier in the week that Pellegrini had received an offer from the RFU to work as the head coach of the Russian team and the former Manchester City coach was considering the proposal, reports Tass.

“The Russian Football Union did not make any offers to Pellegrini,” Martinez said in an interview with TASS. Nicknamed ‘The E n g i n e e r, ’ 6 2 - y e a r - o l d Pellegrini was the head coach of Manchester City since 2013 leading the club to the English Premier League (EPL) title in the 2013/2014 season. The Chilean has been replaced at the end of the season by former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola.

Martinez announced in mid-April that Pellegrini considered Russia’s Zenit St. Petersburg FC as one of Europe’s top ten clubs and would be interested to work as the club’s head coach.

The ban, which took effect on June 22, precludes the laboratory from conducting blood and urine samples.

WADA did not provide details of the laboratory’s problems and it was unclear if the decision could be overturned in time for the Olympic opening ceremony on August 5. “(We) will work closely with the Rio laboratory to resolve the identified issue,” WADA’s incoming director general Olivier Niggli said in the statement.

The Montreal-based body said that samples at LBCD would be transported for testing at an accredited laboratory in another country.

Hales and man-of-thematch Roy were completely in command against a toothless Sri Lanka attack.

Hales smashed six sixes and 10 fours while Roy went to his second one-day international century with his fourth six before driving Seekkuge Prasanna to the cover boundary to seal victory.

“It was a lot of fun. We wanted to get off to a good start. The next thing you know, we’re across the line,” Roy told the BBC. “It’s a great buzz. There’s a lot of love in the dressingroom. I’m stoked for the win.”

The third match of the series is in Bristol on Sunday.

Poland sink Swiss on penalties; enter qtrs

stunning strike from Shaqiri, who acrobatically produced a superbly placed effort from the edge of the penalty area that bounced in off the post, following substitute Breel Embolo’s cross. Both sides threatened at the death, prior to a highly reserved and cautious first period of extra time.

The Swiss were by far the more dangerous in the second period, and Derdiyok seemed set to net a header from Shaqiri’s fantastic delivery, only for Fabianski to produce an excellent stop. Derdiyok had another good chance but, under pressure from Seferovic’s low cross, he could not generate the requisite power on his close-range effort.In the shootout, immediately after Xhaka had sliced his effort strike well wide of the target, Sommer very nearly kept out Milik’s spot-kick.

The Poles, however, found the net with all five of their strikes, securing a spot in the quarter-finals at the expense of the heartbroken Swiss.

Poland players celebrate after beating Switzerland on penalties on Saturday.

Saint-Ètienne, Jun 25 (Agencies): Poland beat Switzerland 5-4 on penalties, following a 1-1 draw in SaintEtienne, to book a quarter-final berth at the European Championships.

Jakub Blaszczykowski finished off a quick counterattack to give Poland the lead at the interval but a spectacular strike from Stoke City’s Xherdan Shaqiri ensured that extra time was required. Switzerland substitute Eren Derdiyok missed two fine chances in the second of the additional periods. The Swiss were made to pay in the shootout, as new Arsenal man Granit Xhaka’s wild strike proved costly, with

Grzegorz Krychowiak converting the penalty that confirmed Poland’s progression.

Adam Nawalka’s troops go on to meet either Croatia or Portugal in the last eight of the tournament in Marseille on Thursday. At the very beginning of the clash at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, the Swiss almost gifted Poland at a goal through a poor Johan Djourou back-pass. Yann Sommer, however, denied Robert Lewandowski and Arkadiusz Milik fired the rebound over the crossbar.

The Poles should have scored just prior to the half-

hour, as the unmarked Grzegorz Krychowiak headed wide from eight yards. With the chances continuing to come for Poland, Kamil Grosicki shot a dipping effort over the top and Milik struck high and wide from the corner of the six-yard box.

Blaszczykowski, though, was successful with six minutes off the first half remaining, slipping a side-footed effort under Sommer after Kamil Grosicki had taken advantage of good fortune to fire a square pass that was dummied to the eventual goal-scorer by Milik.

Switzerland had enjoyed

sights of goal prior to Blaszczykowski’s finish, most notably when Blerim Dzemaili turned a decent opportunity off target and Fabian Schar headed straight at Lukasz Fabianski.

The Swiss started the second half very brightly but, with his side being adventurous, Sommer was forced into good saves from Lewandowski and Blaszczykowski.

Ricardo Rodriguez and Haris Seferovic both went very close to levelling, the Wolfsburg man’s almost ideally placed free-kick tipped over by Fabianski before Eintracht Frankfurt hit the crossbar with a powerful effort. The leveller arrived in the 82nd minute through a

“Blood and urine tests were taken without any incident.” Spain face Italy in a repeat of the Euro 2012 final in Paris on Monday.

(AP/PTI) N E W YO R K , J u n 2 5 (Agencies): Lionel Messi will bid to gild his legacy as the greatest footballer of his generation by ending Argentina’s 23-year wait for a major title in

a dream final against holders Chile in the Copa America Centenario.

For Messi’s many millions of admirers, the five-time world footballer of the year

has already achieved enough in his glittering career to be considered in the same bracket as Pele and Diego Maradona.

Yet the only hole in the Barcelona superstar’s CV - a

Dutee qualifies for Rio; first woman in 100m dash in 36 yrs

New Delhi, Jun 25 (PTI): Ace sprinter Dutee Chand today became the first Indian female athlete to qualify for the 100m dash in Olympics in 36 years as she booked a Rio Games berth at the 26th G Kosanov Memorial Meet in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

20-year-old Dutee clocked 11.30 seconds in the women’s 100m heats and then ran an even better 11.24 seconds in the finals to win a silver medal in the Kazakhstan Meet too book the Rio Olympics ticket.

In the process, Dutee bettered her own national record of 11.33secs which she set at Federation Cup National Championships here in April.

The qualifying mark for the Rio Olympics was set at 11.32 seconds.

Dutee is the first Indian woman to have qualified for 100 metres race in an Olympics after legendary P T Usha competed in the blue-riband event in the 1980 Moscow Games.

The Odisha athlete is the first Indian woman athlete to make the cut for an Olympics 100m dash since the qualifica-

PUNE, Jun 25 (Agencies): A 10th place finish in 50m pistol qualification on Friday was compensated by a silver in the 10m air pistol by Jitu Rai as the Indian secured a podium finish at the ISSF World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan on Saturday.

This was Jitu’s sixth World Cup medal overall.

Jitu had an average start to the qualification round, as he totaled 95 in the first series.

But he stabilized soon and shot impressive series of 97, 97, 98, 96 and 97 to total 580 in the qualification round.

But there was more drama in store. Jitu was not alone to score 580, there were six more shooters who had reached the score. But because Jitu had shot more inner 10s (22) than the other six, he was placed sixth in the qualification round.

Dutee Chand tion system was introduced in the event. There was no qualification system when Usha took part in the 1980 Olympics.

Overall, four Indian women have taken part in the 100m dash in the Olympics -- Nilima Ghosh and Mary D’Souza (1952), Mary Leela Rao (1956) and Usha (1980).

Dutee is the 20th Indian track and field athlete to have qualified for Rio Games.

For Dutee, it is a remarkable achievement to qualify for Olympics as she had to fight her way back to an international career by winning a landmark ‘gender’ case last year.

She was banned mid 2014 and dropped from the Commonwealth Games as she was found to have a higher level of testosterone (male hormone) than was permissible in a woman athlete, according to the IAAF hyperandrogenism rules.

Dutee lost an entire year of training and competition but faced the turmoil bravely and fought the ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) in Switzerland. In July last year, in a historic verdict, the CAS partially upheld her appeal and allowed her to resume her career.

“I am really happy to have qualified for the Olympics. It has been a tough year for me.

My hard work and that of my coach (N Ramesh) has paid off,” Dutee said after booking the Rio berth.

“I could qualify for the Olympics due to blessings of a lot of people. I want to thank Sports Authority of India, Sports Ministry, Athletics Federation of India for their support. I will continue to work hard and hope to bring a medal for the country,” she added.

Devendro fails to qualify for Olympics

BAKU, Jun 25 (PTI): Commonwealth Games silver medallist L Devendro Singh (49 kg) fought his heart out but failed to clinch an Olympic berth losing in the semi-finals of the International Boxing Association’s (AIBA) World Qualifying Tournament here.

With only two quota spots available in the 49 kg, it was end of the road for the gutsy Manipuri as he lost 1-2 to Spaniard Carmona Heredia Samuel in a closely fought encounter.

Devendro however won India’s third bronze medal in the competition after Manoj Kumar (64 kg) and Vikas Krishan (75 kg) also won bronze medals losing their respective semifinal bouts. “My boy gave his everything, he gave one of his best performance but could not get the judges nod. But he was brilliant,” chief coach

Jitu Rai bags silver at shooting WC

Messi ready for crowning glory in Copa final major tournament title with Argentina - is invariably, and somewhat unfairly, cited as a justification to delay his elevation to football’s pantheon.

That could all change on Sunday before a sell-out crowd of 81,000 at East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium, the home of the NFL’s New York Giants, when Argentina face the Chileans in a rematch of last year’s Copa America final.

It is the third final in as many years for Messi and his teammates, who suffered agonizing defeats in the 2014 World Cup final against Germany and to the Chileans on penalties in Santiago last year.

On each occasion, Messi has borne the brunt of the backlash from critics in Argentina who trot out a familiar laundry list of grievances. He has no passion. He doesn’t sing the anthem. He doesn’t “feel” the shirt.

Barely a ball had been kicked in this Copa America before Maradona, a regular sniper, accused him of lacking “personality” and “leadership.”

Maradona amped up the rhetoric this week shortly after Argentina booked their place in the final with a 4-0 demolition of the United States. “We will certainly win on Sunday... and if we don’t win, they shouldn’t come back,” Maradona told an Argentinian television network.

Messi is not above being angered by the criticism. “I get annoyed by the people who attack you without thinking,”

In the final, Jitu had a desirable start. Despite shooting a 9.8 in his first shot, he shot a 10.2 and 10.5 in the first series of three shots to top the scores with 30.5.

He maintained the lead till the 10th shot (98.9) but a 9.7 in the 12th shot put him joint second. He was going neck and neck with the eventual gold medallist Brazil’s Felipe Almeida Wu and Korean legendary shooter Jin Jongoh.

While the Brazilian shot 200 after 20 shots to win gold, Jitu was just 0.5 point behind to claim the silver. Jongoh on the other hand won the bronze with 178.8.

Jongoh had won gold in 50m pistol on Thursday. Other Indians in fray, Omkar Singh scored 575 to be placed 28th, while Rio-bound Gurpreet Singh was 42nd with a poor 569.

Gurbax Singh Sandhu said. Earlier, Vikas was declared medically unfit and had to concede his bout against Turkmenistan’s Achilov Arslanbek while Manoj lost 0-3 to reigning European champion Pat McCormack of Britain. Manoj was satisfied with his performance but also did not forget to mention that it was a lonely fight for him without any sponsorship or government help.

“I am very happy with how I have performed because I had no backing from anybody.

I am not in the TOP scheme neither do I have a sponsor. I have only got the support of my elder brother Rajesh. I am Class III staff of Indian Railways. I have not been promoted despite my achievements but I am glad that I came this far without anybody’s support,” the pain was palpable in Manoj’s voice. web : www.skyleds.co

he said in a recent interview.

“We got to two finals. We didn’t win. What can you do?

But we got to the final. It’s not like we lost in the last 16.”

So far in the United States, Messi has shown no sign of being overburdened by the pressure to end Argentina’s wait for a title.

After missing Argentina’s opening group match, he scored an electrifying 19-minute hat-trick against Panama after coming on as a substitute before going on to equal Gabriel Batistuta’s Argentina goals record in the 4-1 quarter-final win over Venezuela.

Against the US, he scored a magnificent curling freekick to become his country’s leading international goalscorer with 55, while setting up two more goals in a magical all-round display.

He even found the time to sign the shirt of an autograph-hunting fan who sprinted onto the pitch at the start of the second half.

His smiling, laidback demeanor however masks a fierce determination to lift the title, revealing that Argentina have become a more formidable unit since suffering the pain of multiple final defeats.

“It’s been almost a year since the last Copa America, and I think that made us stronger as a group, and as a team,” Messi said.

“We grew a lot, in a lot of ways, and above all, even though we didn’t win, it helped us.”
