Tourism deptt-NPRAAF meet held; J&K murder: Pochury bodies deptt okays separate TO for Kiphire seek state govt intervention DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): The department of Tourism, on the demand of Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF), has agreed to post a separate tourist officer (TO) at Kiphire. In this regard, director (in-charge) of tourism department, K.T. Thomas has, in a written statement, assured NPRAAF that “the directorate will take into account for necessary action with the Administrative Head.”

During a meeting held at Tourist Lodge Dimapur on June 24, NPRAAF said it also put forth fresh suggestion for increasing the number of 12 sanctioned posts of TOs to at least 27 recognizing the need for more TOs both within and outside the state especially where Nagaland Houses were established.

The organization, nevertheless, affirmed that it was “uncompromising in its demand for cancellation of backdoor appointments of Tourist Officers which led to excess officers,” stated a NPRAAF press statement.

NPRAAF said its demand for increasing the sanctioned posts of TOs should not be confused as contradictory with the demand for cancelling

appointment of excess officers, which were made through backdoor. “Whether there is excess or permissible number of officers, as long as the appointment is backdoor, NPRAAF will continue to oppose such appointments,” it stated.

At the meeting, the department, which was represented by assistant director I. Temjen Ao, clarified the cases of appointments of few officers, which, NPRAAF described as “backdoor” in its ultimatum.

NPRAAF said the since clarification was substantiated with documentary evidence, it has dropped the demand for cancellation of such appointments.

However, it said there were several other anomalous and irregular appointments that were yet to be discussed and for which the department has sought more time to look into the issues.

Seeing the positive response of the department, NPRAAF said it has extended the deadline to cancel all backdoor appointments and rectify other anomalies to July 20, 2016.

Meanwhile, NPRAAF has appreciated the positive steps taken by the department to rectify irregularities.

DIMAPUR, JUN 27 (NPN): After a delay of nearly three years, Nagaland government on Monday finally launched the much awaited ‘National Food Security Act’ (NFSA) 2013 here at the Directorate of Food and Civil Supplies (F&CS), Dimapur.

It may be mentioned that under the Act, beneficiaries of Priority Household (PHH) would be provided 5 kgs of subsidized foodgrains per head at Rs.3 per kg for rice and Rs.2 for wheat in the ratio of 4:1. NFSA 2013 would also cover 78.83% of the rural populace and 61.98% of the urban populace in the State.

Launching the NFSA, Nagaland chief minister T.R Zeliang, who is also holds the F&CS portfolio, remarked that the launching of NFSA 2013 was a landmark event in the State’s history.

T.R. Zeliang informed that delay in implementation of the Food Security Act in Nagaland was due to unfavourable funding pattern and various logistical issues such as lack of infrastructure, lack of godowns in most districts of the State, lack of power backup, digitization process, constitution of State Food Commission, vigilance committees, and grievances redressal mechanism at the

district level.

He was however optimistic saying it was “better late than never”, and called upon all stakeholders, particularly the beneficiaries, to actively participate at all levels for the successful implementation of the Act. Zeliang also highlighted the incorporation of technology in the Act to ensure transparency from top to bottom.

The chief minister later distributed PHH cards to women beneficiaries of Dimapur.

Also speaking on the occasion, Food and Civil Supplies director, Alun Hangsing stated that the Act would greatly benefit a large number of the population.

Hangsing informed that the department, from top to bottom, was fully mobilized to achieve the target of providing highly subsidized food grains to the beneficiaries.

Informing that both Above poverty Line (APL) and Below Poverty Line (BPL) beneficiaries have been amalgamated under the name of Priority Household as per the Act, director said the department had 2,37,434 households with an increase of 44,464 households with female members as head of family in the PHH ration card covering 11,93,922 individual beneficiaries. Together with

2,12,034 Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) beneficiaries, the department would cover 14,05,956 beneficiaries, he added.

He also stated that details of food grain allocation, date of dispatch and receipt, grievance redressal mechanism at state, district, and sub-divisional level etc. would be made online by uploading transaction details at www. fcs.nagaland.gov.in.

Highlighting the importance of Aadhar card, Hangsing said that since Point of Sale machines would be used shortly in fair price shops across the State, seeding of Aadhar number with ration cards was essential to identify genuine beneficiaries.

Earlier, the function was chaired by F&CS secretary, Ramongo Lotha, invocation pronounced by pastor, TBC Dimapur, Rev. Vilodi Sakhrie and introductory address on NFSA 2013 was delivered by director F&CS. The vote of thanks was delivered by joint director of F&CS.

KOHIMA, JUN 27 (NPN): School Education and SCERT minister, Yitachu flagged off a fleet of 26 vehicles (pick-up trucks) for each SDEO in the state at Secretariat Plaza here on Monday, meant for delivering food grains under mid-day meal (MDM) programme.

Speaking at the launching programme as chief guest, Yitachu said the idea of launching MDM vehicle struck his mind while interacting with a village council member, who

shared the transportation problem faced in the rural areas.

The minister challenged the responsible officers to produce successful MDM implementation story with the vehicles so that could be replicated in other parts of the country.

He said the good idea and programme alone cannot run the system successfully unless the responsible officers and persons involved worked sincerely on the ground.

Urging the responsible officers to work hard, the minister said those who provide

their best service would be cherished even in future.

Minister also told the drivers that the vehicle was to be used for mid-day meal programme and assigned duty of school by SDEO only. He warned that anybody misusing the vehicles would be penalized.

from holding agitating against the department, which he said would be a loss for them and the department.

Chairing the programme, commissioner & secretary (C&S) school education and SCERT, F.P. Solo, said the vehicle would transport the MDM from FCI godown to SDEO office and to the school respective school. Besides transporting MDM, he said the vehicle would also carry textbooks and uniform for the school.

Solo also informed that the misuse of the vehicle would be strictly monitored through SDEO and any defaulter would be penalized immediately.

C&S said this noble idea was initiated by the minister Yitachu to address the problem of transporting MDM faced by the in-charges especially to the remote areas.

Youth killed in intervillage clash in Mnp Correspondent

IMPHAL, JUN 27: A youth was killed and another sustained injuries in a clash between the people of two villages, Nungei and Nungei Muslim Leikai in Manipur’s Thoubal district on Monday.

The incident took place around 10 a.m. when the people of two villages engaged in stone pelting each other. The villagers of Nungei tried to dig out the road being blocked by the villagers of Nungei.

The deceased has been identified as Md Arib alias Abo Khan (18) while the injured has been identified as Md Muhibur Rahman (25).

The injured has been shifted to hospital.

It may be mentioned here that tension between Nungei and Nungei Muslim Leikai, was running for the last three months after 10 women and children were injured in a group clash on April 11 night.

The villagers of Nungei village blocked the inter-village road connecting the two neighoburing villages by erecting fencing by villagers of Nungei.

The villagers alleged the assailants who fired on the group of women and children hailed from the neighbouring

village and pressing the state authority to arrest them and award befitting punishment.

State authority deputed the IRB personnel at the border of the two villages since the very eruption of the tension between the two villages to prevent any untoward incident there.

When all efforts of the IRB personnel to stop hourslong stone pelting clash went in vain, additional police force called out. Amid the stoning, gun firing sounds were also heard, reports said.

Owing to the strong resistance coming up from the villagers, the additional police force faced a hard time. It was only around 2.30 pm another police force arrived there, the police could reach the spot where the clash was still continued.

In their efforts to stop the clashing villagers, police resorted to tear gas shelling besides using several mob dispersion bombs. The IRB personnel at the spot also opened fire several rounds of bullets protect themselves.

According to reports, the simmering tension was comes to a boil after the Nungei villagers dug out the road following a heated argument with the IRB personnel last night.

Even as the villagers dug out the road while resolving to restrict entry of police and security forces in their village, the incident happened to an insult to the villagers of Nungei Muslim Leikai who were under tense since the blocking of the inter-village road.

While some villagers were digging the road last night, another group armed with deadly weapons engaged in a clash with the IRB personnel who tried to stop the digging.

The IRB personnel retaliated by firing gunshots in the air at first.

However, this morning, the situation took a serious turn when all of a sudden the villagers of the two neighbouring villages started stoning each other. For the time being the situation was brought under control. However, tension was brewing up as both sides were preparing to strike at each other at the time, a police officer said.

Centre govt, Northeast states unhappy at slow border fencing

A G A RT A L A , J U N 2 7 (IANS): The Union Home Ministry and the state governments of the northeast region have expressed discontent over the slow progress of fencing work along the IndiaBangladesh border, an official has said.

“Various state governments and MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) have expressed dissatisfaction over the slow progress of works for erection of fencing along the IndiaBangladesh border,” a senior Tripura home department official said.

“The MHA had sanctioned erection of barbed wire fencing along the 4,096km India-Bangladesh border around 15 years back. So far, approximately 3,000 km has been fenced,” he said.

“To accelerate the work of fencing, the MHA had engaged five central government agencies and state PWDs (Public Works Departments).

The performance of National Buildings Construction Corporation Ltd. (NBCC) and National Projects Construction Corporation Limited (NPCC) is very poor in this regard,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

Union Home Ministry’s Border Management Secretary Susheel Kumar, who is on a visit to Tripura and earlier visited Meghalaya, Assam and West Bengal, asked the NBCC and NPCC to speed up their work and to complete the fenc-

ing in Tripura by March 2017.

The other central government agencies working for border fencing are the Engineering Projects (India) Ltd, Border Roads Organisation and the Central Public Works Department. “MHA has asked all the agencies to complete the border fencing works in the rescheduled timeframe,” the Tripura official added.

“As per international norms, the barbed wire fencing is being erected 150 yards from the zero line of the border.

Where there are problems, the fencing is being erected at the Zero Line after consulting the Bangladesh government,” he added.

Tripura government officials told Union Secretary Kumar that pending land acquisition cases, protests by the local people and delay in getting forest clearance are some of the major hitches in completing the fencing in time.

Kumar has said district magistrates and collectors have been asked to talk to the people in case of any negative public perception regarding the fencing.

He also said the state government officials should amicably resolve the issue of shifting the population along the border.

On Sunday, Kumar held a meeting with Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar and discussed various border-related issues, besides interacting with the BSF troopers.

Regional parties yet to come under one banner in M’laya S H I L LO N G, J U N 2 7 (AGENCIES): Despite BJP’s tireless effort to group the anti-Congress parties in the Northeast by forming the North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), the coalition may not yet be able to convince all regional political parties to come under the same umbrella to wipe out the Congress in Meghalaya.

Recently, the alliance (NEDA) organised its first meeting in Guwahati where it was decided to form working groups to tackle major issues confronting the region. The National People’s Party (NPP) and United Democratic Party (UDP) of Meghalaya, who are part of the NEDA, attended the meeting. But another major regional political party of the state - Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) - was conspicuous by its absence. Other smaller regional parties of the state like the Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) and the Garo National Council (GNC) are also not in the NEDA till date. Both the KHNAM and the GNC does not have any MLA in the Assembly.

According to reports, the non-Congress parties in Meghalaya may go for an alliance by following the experiment of non- Congress political parties in Assam which came under one banner to oust the Congress from power.

Surprise!!!!!! Marsen...!!!!

May this birthday be filled with lots of happy hours and also your life with many happy birthdays, that are yet to come. Happy birthday.

AGP opposes BJP decision to auction Assam oilfields

G U WA H AT I , J U N 2 7 (AGENCIES): Two days after Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced the NDA government’s decision to auction 12 small oilfields of Assam, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) – an ally of the BJP in the state – has opposed the decision and asked the Centre to reconsider the move.

“We are against privatization of any oilfield of the state.

This decision goes against the wishes of the people of Assam who had only two months ago voted the BJP-led alliance to power in the state. Privatisation of the oilfields takes away the people’s right over the state’s resources. We appeal to the Centre to reconsider the decision,” AGP general secretary Kamala Kanta Kalita said here on Monday.

Kalita also said that the AGP stood for strengthening PSUs like Oil India Ltd and

ONGCL so that these government companies could acquire better technology to explore the 12 oilfields that they had discovered and were still holding with them. “The best way out is to strengthen Oil India Ltd and ONGCL and let them acquire better technology to explore these so-called unviable oilfields,” Kalita said. The AGP, which had won 14 seats in the recent Assam assembly elections, has two ministers in the Sonowal cabinet.

Senior AGP leader and former party president Brindaban Goswami too opposed the centre’s decision. “I personally feel that the oilfields should not be handed over to private companies through auction.

There are many government companies. Even the Assam government has a couple of companies that should be able to explore these oilfields,” Goswami, currently AGP legislator from Tezpur said.

Manipur completes 945 minor Plan to build NH through Manas causes concern Two tribal student bodies irrigation schemes under AIBP caution JAC-ATB in Manipur

AIIMS: Bandh hits life in Nagaon and Morigaon

Correspondent IMPHAL, JUN 27: Manipur minor irrigation department has so far completed 945 minor irrigation schemes in the state under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP), an official source said Monday.

AIBP of Union ministry of water resources was started implementation in the state from the year 1999-2000 and the minor irrigation department has incurred Rs 473.80 crore in the completion of the 945 schemes to provide irrigation facility to 53914 hectare of cultivable land.

AIBP was playing a commendable role in promoting agricultural productivity in the areas under its operation. Minor irrigation schemes were being taken up with central assistance under AIBP funding (now PMKSY) of the Union ministry of water resources.

With funds from other funding agencies such as NLCPR, NEC and NABARD, these schemes were being implementing with proper assessment of the suitability of the sites and feasibility of the

particular schemes viz. construction of mini barrage or weir, lift irrigation schemes or irrigation tank in relation with the need of the locality.

The minor irrigation schemes in the state were taken up in two categories the surface flow schemes and lift irrigation schemes.

Surface flow irrigation schemes comprise construction of (a) Pick-up weirs/mini barrages which divert water from rivers/streams through canals and give water to the agricultural fields. (b) Irrigation tanks which conserve/ store rain water or water from hill streams via link channels which can be used for irrigation as and when needed.

Lift irrigation schemes were constructed at suitable places for lifting irrigation water from rivers or other water bodies by using diesel/electric pumping sets.

The water is conveyed through canals to the irrigation fields which lie nearby.

One such lift irrigation schemes have the capacity to irrigate 20 hectare of agricultural land by deploying a 25 Horse power pumping set.

G U WA H AT I , J U N 2 7 (AGENCIES): Even as the big cat has made a successful comeback to the Manas National Park with the latest count confirming the presence of 18 tigers, disturbing developments continue to pose a serious threat to the Manas landscape, reports Assam Tribune.

While habitat loss, wildlife fatalities, unregulated tourism, water unavailability, etc., have been persistent banes for long, the latest threat – according to conservationists – comes in the form of a recent proposal by the Government of India to have a highway constructed along the Indo-Bhutan international border.

“The implications that such a linear structure may have on the fragile ecological balance of the Trans-boundary Manas Conservation Area (TraMCA) landscape comprising Manas National Park, Royal Manas National Park, Phipsoo Wildlife Sanctuary and Jomotshangkha Wildlife Sanctuary are grave to say the least. Such permanent barriers would bifurcate the contiguous habitats and adversely affect wildlife,

which in turn will bring in severe ecological affects, including water availability and agriculture regimes of the TraMCA region,” a senior National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) official told The Assam Tribune. The latest report on joint monitoring of tigers in Manas and Royal Manas identified 21 individual tigers in the study area covering some 600 sq km of India and Bhutan Manas in TraMCA. “The study found four individual tigers that are common to Bhutan and India Manas, indicating that connectivity is crucial in the TraMCA region to protect tiger as well as other biodiversity of the area. A previous study in the TraMCA in 2011-12 reported 14 individual tigers,” the official said. Wildlife experts also believe that effective management of the trans-boundary landscape across the international boundary from river Sankosh in the west to the river Dhansiri in the east will determine the long-term conservation success of a vast forested area. Of these, Manas Tiger Reserve – the core area of which forms the Manas National Park – has suffered

maximum damage due to encroachment, illegal logging and development activities.

In fact, the Tiger Reserve has already lost about 40 per cent of its forest cover since it was declared a Tiger Reserve in 1973. While Manas National Park and Royal Manas National Park have a joint transborder management mechanism in the form of sharing of information, monitoring of wildlife movement, etc., the initiative has fallen short of yielding the desires results as it is yet to have legal sanction from the government.

“We have been following the joint protocol on trans-boundary management for the past six years but the mechanism needs formal endorsement from the Government of India to make it stronger. The recent NTCA meeting in Delhi made a representation to the government in this regard and we are hopeful of a positive response,” HK Sharma, Field Director, Manas Tiger Reserve, said. Sharma added that from a count of 13 adult tigers in Manas in 2015, the latest count in 2016 yielded the presence of 18 adult tigers.

Tripura urges Centre, Assam for immediate repair of NH 8

AGARTALA, JUN 27 (PTI): Tripura PWD minister Badal Chowdhury Monday urged the Centre and the Assam government for immediate repair of a portion of the National Highway 8 in Karimganj district of Assam as thousands of trucks carrying essential commodities for Tripura are stranded there.

A long stretch of the Assam-Agartala (NH 8) at Lowerpoa in Karimganj district of Assam is badly damaged since a year and about 10-15 km area is unfit for movement of vehicles for three months, Chowdhury said.

As a result, thousands of trucks carrying essential commodities for Tripura are K

stranded, he told reporters.

“If such condition continues for a few days more, the state would face acute crisis of essential commodities and fuel. I have urged the Central government to take urgent steps to immediately repair the national highway and create a situation for bringing essential commodities through neighbouring Bangladesh,” Chowdhury said.

He said, about 450 trucks could have entered Tripura on Saturday through an alternative road, but the condition of that road too is very bad.

Earlier in several occasions, commodities were transported to the state from Kolkata

port by using the water ways of Bangladesh through the Ashuganj river port on Meghna, about 50 km from here.

He said about two months ago, Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy himself visited the area and informed the matter to the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and Chief Minister Manik Sarkar also spoke to Gadkari but the situation did not improve.

Chowdhury said he had written to the Central government and Tripura Chief Secretary also spoke to the Chief Secretary of Assam and officials of the Union government, but nothing was done.

GUWAHATI, JUN 27 (PTI): Sahitya Akademi Awardee novelist Nirupama Borgohain and renowned poet-lyricist Amarjyoti Choudhury today released two drama collections of eminent theatre personality Sitanath Lahkar.

The two collections, published by famous theatre group Samahar Natya Gosthee, contain a total of 10 stage dramas written by Lahkar.

These two are Lahkar’s second and third drama collections containing the plays written between 1989 and 2004. The first book Natyargha-2 was released by Borgohain and this collection contains the five stage plays -- Aadhaarshila (1989), Agnigarbha (1993), Aakraman (1994), Trikalagya (1995) and Juddhakaal (2006).

In her speech, Borgohain said, “Dr Lahkar’s plays reflect his social concern.

They depict social problems so realistically that they leave an impact on peoples’ mind.

I hope with publication of the plays, these will be enacted

more widely now.”

The second book Natyargha-3 was released by Choudhury and it has the five stage plays - Mahanayak (2010), Baghabondi (2011), Junj (2012), Biplovee Vivekananda (2013) and Sankat (2014). “Though I have not got the chance to watch any of his dramas, I have read the plays of Dr Lahkar. They compel you to think about the society. In today’s time, when our children are not aware of our surroundings, these dramas can play very important roles in informing about our society and its problems to the young generation,” Choudhury said.

Earlier, talking about the two books, Lahkar said that the dramas in both the volumes basically deal with the problems of the society and some important transitions in the history from 1949 to 2014.

“Drama is a mighty weapon that can be either used for the greatest good or evil of the society. My plays are not for only entertainment,” he added.

Four Bangladeshi women arrested

SHILLONG, JUN 27 (PTI): Four women from Bangladesh were arrested in Meghalaya’s South Garo Hills district for illegally crossing the border in an attempt to sell their products in a local market, officials said on Monday.

This has led to loss of confidence among the people and the community mandated organizations concerned, it said. The joint statement further said JAC’s movement was now a movement that is confined to only a few and hitherto unknown organizations.

The present functioning style of the JAC raises more questions than answers, they said. The two student pressure group further said that the President of India has withheld assent to the Protection of the Manipur People’s Bill 2015, and referred the Manipur Land and Revenue Reforms (seventh Amendment) Bill 2015, and the Manipur Shops and Establishment (Second Amendment Bill) for review and study by Constitutional experts.

“Our central leadership sent a message for PPA’s merger with the BJP. The ball is now in the chief minister’s court but neither he nor the PPA has responded yet,” Gao said.

Gao had last month said the PPA-BJP merger was just a matter of time. The PPA, how-

ever, has dubbed the merger talk as ‘rumour’. “The PPA is not merging with the BJP, which is our ally. There are no differences or misunderstanding between us,” party chairman Kamen Ringu said.

But, he said, a decision could be taken in the next three-four months if the Pul government fails to deliver on the development front. “There is no problem as of now.”

Pul, a former Congress leader, had in February formed a dissident Congress government after dethroning Nabam Tuki. The rebel Congress government, with support from BJP and independents, had 31 MLAs in the 60-member assembly. Less than a month later, Pul and the other rebel Congress MLAs defected to the PPA. The PPA is one of 11 constituents of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) that BJP heads.

Mizoram CM Re-Invites PM Modi to Remna Ni

AIZAWL, JUN 27 (AGENCIES): Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla has once again written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, inviting him to be the chief guest on the occasion of Remna Ni, the anniversary of the signing of the historic Mizo Peace Accord to be observed on June 30.

This is the second invitation by the Mizoram CM to the PM, after no response was received from the PMO confirming Modi’s presence or absence.

CYMA president and organising chairman, Lalbiakzuala said that they invited the Prime Minister to grace Remna Ni because the occasion will provide an opportunity to hold talks with him about the implementation of some of the terms of memorandum of settlement signed between the Government of India and MNF in 1986.

dengue cases in Hyderabad HC suspends two India joins group that controls PM disapproves of Swamy’s remarks 28Delhi; at least 15 lower court judges following stir reported in June global missile technology sale

NEW DELHI, JUN 27 (IANS): Days after the setback at the Nuclear Suppliers Group due to China’s opposition, India on Monday became the 35th member of a global anti-proliferation bloc, the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). This will not only ensure access to high-end missile technology but also enable the country to sell indigenous BrahMos missiles internationally.

“The MTCR...is pleased to announce that India now formally is the 35th member of the regime,” a statement from the grouping said after a “consensus decision by all members”.

The grouping said India’s membership would “strengthen the international efforts to prevent proliferation of delivery systems of ballistic missiles or unmanned aircraft capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction”.

The MTCR membership is seen as a step forward in IndiaÂ’s recognition as a legitimate nuclear power after it conducted atomic tests in 1998.

India had applied in 2008 for the membership of the elite club of countries set up in 1987 that controls exports in missile technology and unmanned delivery systems of atomic or other weapons of mass destruction.

The club places restrictions on its members exporting missile and missile-related technology, particularly on those capable of carrying a payload of at least 500 kg to a distance of at least 300 km.

These include both cruise mis-

siles and larger drones.

IndiaÂ’s long wait to join the MTCR actually ended in Washington D.C. earlier in June during Prime Minister Narendra ModiÂ’s US trip when a deadline for members of the grouping to object to India’s admission expired on June 6.

None of the groupÂ’s 34 members raised any objections, paving the way for IndiaÂ’s smooth entry into the bloc of which China is still not a member.

China along with other nations like South Africa, Norway, Brazil, Austria, New Zealand, Ireland and Turkey last week blocked IndiaÂ’s entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) -- one of the four multilateral export control regimes.

Since India’s civil nuclear deal with the US, New Delhi has been wanting to join all of the regimes, including the Australia Group and Wassenaar Arrangement since 2008 as part of the India-US civil nuclear cooperation agreement.

The MTCR membership gives India access to restricted high-end technologies for developing its cryogenic rocket engines in order to further its space exploration.

India will now also be able to acquire from the US armed Predator drones -- AmericaÂ’s hot favourite in its war on terror in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

India can now also explore the sale of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, jointly developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation

(DRDO) and Russia.

Both countries have been hoping to sell the missile to third countries which would now be possible after IndiaÂ’s MTCR membership, making it a significant arms exporter for the first time. India is already in talks with Vietnam to sell BrahMos with a flight range of 290-300km and payload of 200-300 kg.

The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry welcomed the development that will “facilitate access to niche technologies to (the country’s) industry in sensitive sectors like defence, aerospace and nuclear”.

“This inclusion also augurs well with India’s position as an important player in the world order and fitting an emerging economic superpower,” Ficci Secretary General Didar Singh said.

“As Indian industry, we have opportunity to rise to the occasion and put in place checks and balances compliant with the obligations that this regime entails.”

Italy in 2015 had blocked IndiaÂ’s entry over the issue of two Italian marines accused of killing two Indian fishermen in 2012 off the Kerala coast.

The Supreme Court of India recently allowed the second marine, Salvatore Girone, also to return home in Rome on May 29, pending trial against them. “India would like to thank each of the 34 MTCR Partners for their support for the membership,” Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesman Vikas Swarup said.

Narendra Modi NEW DELHI, JUN 27 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday disapproved of party MP Subramanian Swamy’s attacks on RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan and some top finance ministry officials saying they are “inappropriate”.

Calling Rajan “no less patriotic”, he virtually ticked off Swamy saying “if anybody considers himself above the system then it is wrong”.

The Prime Minister’s comments assume significance in the context of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and the BJP distancing themselves from Swamy’s recent attacks on Rajan, CEA Arvind Subramananian and Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das. Swamy also had made some carping comments about Jaitley without taking his name.

“Whether it is in my party or not, still I think such things are inappropriate. This fondness for publicity is never going to do any good to the nation. People should conduct themselves with utmost responsibility. If anybody considers himself above the system, it is wrong,” the Prime Minister told Times Now. Without taking the name of Swamy, Modi was asked about the comments of “your Rajya Sabha MP” in the

context of Raghuram Rajan and queried whether it was appropriate.

Even after that there have been criticisms made against very senior government officials, the questioner said recalling Modi’s recent counsel to party leaders in Allahabad to maintain balance and restraint in their speech and conduct.

“My message is very clear.

I have no confusion about it,” Modi said when he was asked whether his message on the issue is clear.

Modi then went on to praise Rajan, who has said no to a second term in RBI, saying his patriotism was no less and was sure that he would continue to serve India irrespective of whether he was in some position or not.

“My experience with him has been good and I appreciate the work that he has done. He is no less patriotic. He loves India. Wherever he will work, he will work for India and he is patriotic,” he said in an apparent riposte to Swamy’s attack that Rajan not mentally fully Indian.

Referring to apprehensions whether Rajan would be allowed to complete his term, the prime minister said though he was appointed by the previous UPA government, Rajan would be completing his term.

Asked about reports and apprehensions that Rajan’s exit would affect the image of Indian economy abroad and whether it would harm investment, Modi said if one recalled the media reports for three months after he took over in 2014 there were a number of articles written whether Rajan would be allowed to continue in the post to which he was appointed by the UPA government.

NEW DELHI, JUN 27 (PTI): At least 28 cases of dengue have been reported in the national capital with 15 of them in the month of June, according to a municipal report released Monday.

May witnessed six cases of the vector-borne disease and 15 cases till June 25, it said.

Last year, the city saw a staggering 15,867 dengue cases, the worst in 20 years, even as the disease also claimed 60 lives, as per municipal reports.

During 1996, a severe outbreak of dengue had occurred in Delhi wherein about 10,252 cases and 423 deaths were reported. In 2010, besides over 6,200 cases, only eight deaths were officially reported. The Commonwealth Games was held that year and massive construction works in the city was a major factor in the spread of the disease. This year, dengue cases have been reported rather early and relatively in larger numbers. From June 1-25 last year only only six cases were reported. Thirteen cases were reported till May this year taking the total number of cases so far in the city to 28, a senior civic official said. No case has been reported from any of the zones under the North Delhi Municipal Corporation while Najafgarh Zone of SDMC has recorded two cases, a senior SDMC official said. SDMC compiles dengue report on behalf of all the civic bodies in the city. The civic body has reported 4 cases overall while East Delhi Municipal Corporation has recorded one. Of the total number of cases this year, two were reported from areas outside the jurisdiction of the three municipal corporations.

Court dismisses AAP MLA BJP spreading falsehood, rumours: Sena Dinesh Mohaniya’s bail the other accused persons.

Senior advocate H S Phoolka, appearing on behalf of the politician during in chamber proceedings, submitted that there was a delay of 11 hours in lodging the FIR and the offences alleged were bailable.

He also told the court that the statement of a woman was recorded two days after lodging of complaint and there was no basis to consider it.

The counsel said the allegations levelled against the accused were false as the gap of two days gave time to police to frame the politician.

Phoolka also said the offence under section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of IPC cannot be attracted as there was no intention on the part of Mohaniya to molest or tear clothes of the alleged victims.

Mohaniya, an MLA from Sangam Vihar, was arrested on charges of molestation and sexual harassment amidst high drama when he was addressing a press conference, triggering an angry reaction from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of declaring an “emergency” in Delhi.

Mohaniya, who is also vice chairman of Delhi Jal Board, was virtually dragged from his seat by a police officer when he was talking to reporters at his office in Khanpur in South Delhi around 12.10 PM.

Kidney racket: Delhi Court denies bail to organ recipient

NEW DELHI, JUN 27 (PTI): A Delhi court Monday denied bail to a 22-year-old kidney recipient, arrested in connection with an organ racket recently busted at a private hospital here, saying he had knowingly participated in the transplantation process which prima facie appeared to be a “pre-planned criminal conspiracy”.

The court rejected the application of Ashutosh, the 13th accused arrested in the scam busted earlier this month, while observing that human organs were not commodities of trade.

“After careful and studied perusal of available material, it is apparent that accused (Ashutosh) voluntarily and knowingly participated in the process of transplantation of a kidney which was not donated by his real uncle but by a donor unrelated to him by impersonating himself as real uncle of applicant,” Metropolitan Magistrate Arvind Bansal said.

The magistrate further said “the complete process of transplantation of kidney prima facie appears to be pre- planned criminal conspiracy and the role of the accused in the said process requires comprehensive investigation.”

“It is observed that people understand and know that human organs are not commodities of trade. The legal and ethical principles associated with organ donation and transplantation must be strictly followed.

“These principles appear to have been violated in the present case and therefore Ashutosh does not deserve the benefit of judicial discretion of bail at this crucial stage of investigation.

The application is accordingly declined,” the court said.

The police have so far arrested 13 persons, including some middlemen, personal assistants of senior doctors, donors, a recipient and the racket’s kingpin Rajkumar Rao, in connection with the matter. Investigators have come across 10 transplant cases facilitated by the gang in the Apollo Hospital here.

ing copies of its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, Sena said doing such a thing would be like setting ablaze the RSS’s ideology and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s basic ideals.

“Politics has become murky. Everybody has the right to criticise, but the voices of those trying to speak the truth are being stifled right from

Delhi to Maharashtra. This is an example of politics going into the head,” an editorial in ‘Saamana’ said. Sena cadres had last week burnt effigies of BJP state spokesperson Madhav Bhandari over his article in party publication ‘Manogat’ in which he had dared Uddhav Thackeray’s outfit to walk out of the alliance.

A member of Telangana Advocates Joint Action Committee said they may boycott the court duties at Court No 1 -- court of the Acting Chief Justice -- to protest the suspension.

Some 125 judicial officers of Telangana yesterday gave their resignations to the Telangana Judges Association President, authorising him to hand them to the Governor (not immediately) as and when he felt right if the demands are not met.

Advocates and judicial employees across Telangana launched an agitation on June 6 protesting the provisional allocation of judicial officers between AP and Telangana.

They are opposing allocation of judicial officers hailing from (post-bifurcation) Andhra Pradesh to Telangana courts.

Telangana Advocates JAC co-convener T Sriranga Rao had said yesterday that the allocation was done by the High Court without taking into consideration the guidelines framed by the HC itself in February this year.

NEW DELHI, JUN 27 (PTI): AAP MLA Dinesh Mohaniya, arrested in a case of alleged molestation, was Monday sent to judicial custody for 14 days by a Delhi court which rejected his bail plea.

“There is no change in the circumstances in the last 2 days to interfere with the duty magistrate’s June 25 order.

This second bail application of accused is dismissed,” Metropolitan Magistrate Bhavna Kalia said.

The duty magistrate on Saturday had denied him bail and sent him to Tihar jail for two days till Monday.

The MLA was booked on June 23 for allegedly misbehaving with a group of women who had approached him with a complaint regarding water crisis in their locality on the previous midnight. An FIR was lodged at South Delhi’s Neb Sarai Police Station.

Mohaniya has been arrested under the sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354 A (sexual harassment), 354 B (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe) and 354 C (voyeurism) of the IPC. Opposing the bail plea, police submitted before the court that if relief was granted, Mohaniya could influence the probe which was still on against

HYDERABAD, JUN 27 (PTI): The High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad today suspended two judges on disciplinary grounds following an agitation against provisional allocation of judicial officers between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Over 100 judges under the banner of Telangana Judges Association yesterday took out a procession here in protest against the provisional allocation.

The court today suspended Telangana Judges Association president K Ravinder Reddy, who is the 4th additional metropolitan sessions judge, and its secretary V Vara Prasad, a special sessions judge of Rangareddy district.

All India Judicial Employees Association’s general secretary B Lakshma Reddy said non-bifurcation of the High Court (after the creation of Telangana) was the root cause of the problem. “We have already issued a strike notice on various issues from July 1,” Reddy told PTI.

Hard facts

izoram, where the church holds sway over spiritual and social affairs of the people, took a major decision to repeal The Mizoram Liquor Total Prohibition (MLTP) Act banned sale and consumption of alcohol in 1995.

The state then amended the Act in 2007 to permit manufacture and sale of wine made from guavas and grapes but with restrictions on the alcohol content and the volume possessed. Eventually, the government of Mizoram repealed prohibition on July 10, 2014, after a period of 17 years after it had been imposed. Mizos were obviously not pleased to have had to repeal the Act but they had accepted the reality that prohibition was only creating a worse problem caused by sale of spurious liquor and rise of a thriving black market. Perhaps, the reality had a sobering effect that no protests were held across the state. Enforcing the Act was difficult and requiring a lot of manpower and funds. Perhaps, there are many similarities between Mizoram and Nagaland, in that the church had spearheaded the demand for legislating prohibition in their respective states. Prohibition was introduced in Nagaland much earlier in 1989 and continues to remain. When the state is losing a huge amount as excise duty on sale of alcohol, it is interesting that those who consume are willing to pay a hefty premium in the black market. This black marketing has only ensured a thriving trade in smuggling of alcohol that has certainly benefited some. In fact, the irony of the entire Prohibition issue has been the continual rise in smuggling of alcohol which has turned into a thriving black market. A lot of people have claimed, that since there is so much money in black market sale of alcohol, those involved are against lifting the Act. The worse is that spurious liquor continues to flood the state and claimed hundreds of lives.

The reality is that all those who consume alcohol cannot be brushed with the same brush. Kerala has imposed partial prohibition while Bihar has invoked the Act. Both states had made prohibition their electoral pledges. If the prohibition law was to achieve just this, despite the inherent cost in the form of loss of huge revenue; then it has failed and the loss of the state has become a multiple gain for those involved in black marketing. There are some who feel that the issue of prohibition should not be dragged under a spiritual issue but that the elected representatives should take the call. There are those who however, feel that alcohol is the cause of all evils and therefore, it is a duty of every believer to prevent its sale and consumption. There had been several efforts by the government to either repeal the Act or amend it for partial prohibition such as permitting sale and consumption of wine and beer. Whatever may be one’s perception of opinion about alcohol, it must be noted that prohibition has not been effective not only in the country but even in other countries.

However, even if this is a fact, it does not mean that no effort be made to educate people about the evils of drinking alcohol. Again, even if there is a vigorous campaign against drinking alcohol, the very method of imposing total prohibition does not solve the problem.

DailyDevotion The Overshadowing of God’s Personal Deliverance “…I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

—Jeremiah 1:8 God promised Jeremiah that He would deliver him personally— “…your life shall be as a prize to you…”

(Jeremiah 39:18). That is all God promises His children.

Wherever God sends us, He will guard our lives. Our personal property and possessions are to be a matter of indifference to us, and our hold on these things should be very loose. If this is not the case, we will have panic, heartache, and distress. Having the proper outlook is evidence of the deeply rooted belief in the overshadowing of God’s personal deliverance.

The Sermon on the Mount indicates that when we are on a mission for Jesus Christ, there is no time to stand up for ourselves. Jesus says, in effect, “Don’t worry about whether or not you are being treated justly.” Looking for justice is actually a sign that we have been diverted from our devotion to Him. Never look for justice in this world, but never cease to give it. If we look for justice, we will only begin to complain and to indulge ourselves in the discontent of self-pity, as if to say, “Why should I be treated like this?” If we are devoted to Jesus Christ, we have nothing to do with what we encounter, whether it is just or unjust. In essence, Jesus says, “Continue steadily on with what I have told you to do, and I will guard your life. If you try to guard it yourself, you remove yourself from My deliverance.”

Even the most devout among us become atheistic in this regard— we do not believe Him. We put our common sense on the throne and then attach God’s name to it.

We do lean to our own understanding, instead of trusting God with all our hearts (see Proverbs 3:5-6).

Quotes

Prejudice is weighing the facts with your thumb on the scales.

~ Alex Dreier

H

ow weird human beings are. Ask a normal person to touch a snail and they recoil in horror. The body of the snail is long, moist and slimy. The slime that snails secrete is seen as disgusting. In the Christian religious texts, Psalms 58:8 uses snail slime as a metaphorical punishment.

And yet...

Snails are defined by children as beings who carry their houses on their backs.

This does not just apply to the small horned beast on land with a large coiled shell on its back that it can retract into. It is used for sea snails, freshwater snails and slugs as well. Snails that lack a shell are called slugs. Both can’t hear but they have eyes on tentacles on their heads and a sharp sense of smell. They are most active at night. They are hermaphrodites- each snail has the reproductive organs of both sexes and produces sperm and eggs. They have a top speed of about one centimetre an hour!

The snail retreats into its shell and seals the entrance with slime in dry weather to protect its body from drying up. During very cold weather or winter, it hibernates in the ground. It lays about 80 eggs several times a year in holes in the soil concealed with a mixture of soil, mucus and excrement.

Snails eat living and decaying plants. They control algae in ponds, recycle organic matter. They are food for beetles, earthworms, lizards, snakes, toads, turtles, and birds.

Many birds rely on snails for the extra calcium they provide.

During egg-laying season, female birds eat 40 % more snails than normal.If there are no snails, you won’t have a large number of bird species Humans have these attitudes towards snails: -They are slimy and repulsive pests and toxic pesticides and salt are used to kill them.

-They are gourmet food for the French.

-For those who find the eating of snails too awful to even contemplate, I suggest you look at your cosmetics.

The snail moves by creeping on a flat “foot” underneath the body. The band of muscles in the foot contracts and expands and this creates a rippling movement that pushes the snail forward. The “foot” has a special gland that produces slimy mucus to make a slippery track. The slime hardens when it comes into contact with air allowing the snail to move on pointed needles and vines without being injured. The slime trail that the snail leaves behind is often visible as a silvery track on surfaces such as stone or concrete. Mucus is used by a snail to adhere passively to surfaces such as rock, lubrication, repulsing predators and to cover its eggs when they are buried in the earth.

It is this slime that is now being used in medicines and cosmetics.

About 20 years ago, the potential of snail slime was noted by Chilean snail farmers who found that skin lesions healed quickly, with no scars, when they handled snails for

Nagaland Post, Dimapur tuesday, June 28, 2016

For the pursuit of beauty the French food market. This observation resulted in the production of ‘Elicina’, a Chilean snail slime-based product. In 2010 ‘Missha’ then launched Super ‘Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream’, claiming that its 70% snail extract ‘soothes regenerates and heals skin’. Now, snail slime based products are claimed to be the new miracle face-fixer where they are used to treat acne, reduce pigmentation and scarring, and combat wrinkle.

In Italy, slug mucus has been used for many years to treat warts and dermatitis, inflammations, calluses, and acne, and to promote wound healing. In the UK a 1898 exhibit, in the natural history museum, is a slug impaled on a thorn which says ‘Go out alone and find a large black slug.

Secretly rub the underside on the warts and impale the slug on the thorn. As the slug dies the warts will go’. Warts are growths caused by an infection caused by human papilloma virus. Does slug slime have antiviral abilities?

It would not be surprising if such properties existed, for slugs and snails have a moist

skin and live an in environment heavily contaminated with potential pathogenic agents, and thus might be considered to be at particular risk of developing infections. Mucus(or snot), present in our noses for example, functions as a physical barrier between us and the stuff in the air we breathe in.

Slugs produce two types of mucus; pedal mucus, which is relatively thin and contains about 96-97% water, and a thick and sticky glue which is produced over the entire body.

Mucus consists of a complex mix of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycoprotein enzymes, hyaluronic acid, copper peptides, antimicrobial peptides, and metal ions. The glue contains zinc, iron, copper and manganese, which may have particular relevance for wound healing.

Studies have also shown that mucus contains peptides, such as mucin, which possess antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. These antimicrobial peptides not only act as natural antibiotics, but also stimulate many elements of the immune system, including

Post-mortem

I

believe every citizen and denizens whether educated, uneducated, young or old residing in the Northeastern State of Nagaland, Manipur, Assam and Arunachal, Naga diaspora and also not to forget Nagas at Myanmar are all eyes and ear to the provisions of the 3rd August Agreement of 2015. Nagas has termed it as a fulfilment of our dreams to live under one administration. As a Naga, I am also one, among the thousands who wants to live together with our own people but I am forced to raise this question, Are we willing and prepared to live together as one? our historic trademark is that we never stood as one but there been more than one group heading into different directions and eventually resulting into fragmented pieces.

Some here and some there and most of us, like me at nowhere and why are we at nowhere? I have no option but to comment that if our leaders had taken one decision back then, we won’t be stuck at this chaotic juncture not knowing where we are heading to or need to head. I can only sense dark days ahead, waiting for us. Some or many Nagas may not accept the settlement and may attempt to sabotage it.

Here I want every responsible Nagas to think deeply, what if the agreement is implemented and it divides the Nagas. We can all picture a civil war like situation so who is benefitting out of it? When we are divided, the central government has not much to lose but it is we the Nagas and we cannot let historical accidents happen again and again, we must never re-write our history with blood and tears again but with love and acceptance of each other to progress as one. If we claim to be a Naga we should live and walk like a true Naga and do away with the attitude of judging our own people based on tribes or domicile status.

It is true when people say that we are more united or more Naga when we are outside our home State but ironically we are at each other’s throats in our own home! My question is if we claim to be Naga we should be Naga first and be Naga whether you live in Nagaland or Manipur, Assam,

Are we safe

Arunachal Myanmar or in any other places. Our history tells that once we fought for a homeland for all but the journey ended up in different destinations. Some ended in Nagaland after the creation of Nagaland State, while some in Assam, Manipur, Arunachal and Myanmar.

After all these events or development the fight continues followed by forming of different party one after another, now we have nearly ten movements or organization all functioning as a recognised government in their own rights. For good or for bad, people from future generation will be judging and studying this present scenario as a historical accidents left by early Nagas for them to solve and they will solve it easily like a simple mathematics solution. What the future holds, no one can predict but I believe with fast scientific advancement, technological developments and the present world becoming a global village, future Nagas also becoming a global citizens. They will make a mockery of our stupidity and arrogant, some may see tribalism which is considered to be ones pride by all Nagas as a meaningless propaganda because I believe future generations will not live as we have lived now. To be specific (now majority of us live as a citizen having concern for his or own respective tribe’s well being and always having low opinion on other tribes,) but I tell u our future generation will be living as a global citizens with no concern for tribes superiority but solely focus on building their own empire with immense wealth and sky as their limits aided by the advancement of technology, some may even go up to live in mars as the top scientist are now trying to start a civilization there and anything is possible. The hard fact here is that future generation might even have low opinion on govt. Job considering it as belonging only for less intellectual/innovative people for I believed in big corporate and billion dollar enterprises taking control of everything.

Now, leaving aside all these presumption of future world and

technological advancement I would like to ask each and every Naga with a sound mind whether young or old; Are we prepared well enough to live under one umbrella? If yes, are we ready to set aside our differences and work together to reach our common goal??? And common goal here implies progressing together as one .Or like in the past, will we be forced to witness power struggles, factional clashes and formation of more than one government to represent all the Nagas.Logically, legally and politically speaking, only one government can represent us on this earth, but we had many governments representing us and all claimed the right to do so, ignoring or not respecting its legality, it is an accepted democratic political theory that government derived its power from the people to govern and applying this same principles and others, they never hesitate to launch a new party if they have support of few thousands and as a result our small state has many government of different organization and each claims to carries the mandate of the people.

Another factor is also due to a fact that the Nagas has been without a law like the law that govern the English or the French. When I said the Nagas don’t have a law like the English or the French, some nationalist and patriotic NAGAS will definitely challenge me saying that Naga law is the best which is customary law but let me clarified that our customs is just a source of law(law at a nascent stage) and not the law itself for the customs to become a law, it need to be documented and sanctified by the sovereign state or at least be codified to serve the society better and provides uniformity but till date we find no such documented laws applying to all and not to forget different village have different custom and practices forget all the tribes, to add, the Government haven’t started any project to develop proper laws distinct from laws implemented and followed by government of India.

Correction to the news item, ‘Lotha Hoho asked not to mislead people’

I

n response to the news item, “Lotha hoho asked not to mislead people” appeared on Nagaland Post dated 20th June 2016, the undersigned is pained and constraint to state the following facts that I am not a party to it for the pure reason that I was not consulted and that am an individual who always uphold the sanctity of my tribe’s apex body at all times with all the limitations that may sometime occur due to unfortunate bad leadership at certain stages, which is also true to all organizations. That it is true that during our tenure in the ministry we had submitted a representation to the cabinet sub-committee a six point charter of demand in regard to the modality on NP&NG since we detected some anomalies, in which I affirmatively said that, if these demands are not met, I shall walk out of it and in which the point on revenue sharing suggested by us was not accepted.

In addition to this, after thorough study of the Lotha Hoho PIL, I find that the PIL seeks to rectify the faulty aspects of the government’ undue claim of ownership of land and its resources in the modality and the NP&NG rules and regulation since it is contrary to the content and spirit of the

constitutional provision enshrined in the Article 371 (A) which states that the land and its resources belongs to the people and not the state government. In contrast, one finds in the modality on petroleum and natural gas and the rules and regulation on NP&NG, the state government is listed as owner No.3 which is absolutely against the Article 371 (A) of the constitution.

The other issue in the NP&NG that talk about revenue sharing and not royalty is also against the customary ownership of the people over their rights to their land and its resources that the LH’s PIL wisely seeks to rectify. This is precisely so because ‘revenue’ denotes earnings of the government and ‘royalty’ denotes recognition of the people’s right over their land and its resources.

Lastly, I cannot be a party to the news paper report that asks the Lotha Hoho to withdraw the PIL because I know that a PIL once admitted in a court of law cannot only be withdrawn but also the PIL is very much in the interest of the Nagas as a whole even though other Naga populace may not understand the sanctity of the LH PIL.

barrier repair and inflammatory cell recruitment. Slug slime is also said to contain a local anaesthetic, and for this reason there are anecdotal accounts of live slugs being used to treat toothache. In the US a patent has been filed for the use of slug slime in the treatment of burns.

Scientists have found that the common garden snail, helix aspersa, contains antioxidants which are substances that protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. The authors also reported that the snail slime stimulated cellular regeneration, so could be useful in repair of wounded tissues.

In the last few years, covering your face in snail slime has become a major skincare trend and shows no signs of slowing down. There are thousands of products available that contain snail slime that claim to improve your skin, prevent ageing and wrinkles and plump up the skin.

There are a number of specialized farms throughout the world that specialize in obtaining snail slime. The slime is then sent to special laboratories where it is turned into SSF, the cosmetic ingredient. Serums and creams on the market have approximately 10 to 15 percent SSF. Anna Cerutti, from Northern Italy, runs a natural cosmetics company, La NaturaSiamoNoi. She says “Snail creams are our best-selling products”. In Russia, beauty salons do slime massages of

WSBAK pays tribute to Rev.Lano Longchar

he passing away of Rev. Lano Longchar on 20 June has left an indelible loss to the Sumi churches across Nagaland and the Churches under the Western Sumi Baptist Akukuhou Kuqhakulu in particular.

The genesis of Rev. Lano Longchar’s association with the Sumi Churches traced back to the Revival in 1976 at Mokokchung Ao Baptist Church. Within no time this great wave of Revival swept the Sumi Churches with immeasurable spiritual renewal.

During these periods Rev. Lano Longchar played a vital role in reviving the Sumi Christians.

His contributions towards the Sumi churches after the revival break in 1976 are indispensably significant for three reasons.

Firstly, when the revival wave swept the Sumi Churches, he was the one of the first preachers from other tribes who volunteered in reaching the Sumi churches with powerful Word of God. As a matter of fact, from late 1970s to early part of 1990s he was the most loved and sought preacher from other tribes by the Sumis.

Assisted by late Rev.Inaho Swu and myself as his interpreters and co-preachers he zealously reached every nuke and corner of the Sumi land and urged the people to repent from their sins and return to God. As a result thousands of people were led to Christ. Secondly, to be more specific, when Western Sumi Baptist Akukuhou Kuqhakulu (WSBAK) was newly inducted as 16th Association under the Nagaland Baptist Church Council and was under intense revival wave, he brought a message of hope and life. Many people received physical and spiritual healing through him. God sent his servant to nurture the churches in the Western Sumi areas during those transitional periods. Thirdly, wherever he went he was much

loved and held in reverence by the Sumis because of his non parochialism lifestyle which was clearly demonstrated in his love for the Sumis. He built a new level of bond and trust between the Aos and the Sumis and set an example to be emulated by other God’s servants.

At his death, we are profoundly sad and grieved because he has been taken away from us and we will never see him again on this earthly life. We grieve because of this dedicated and anointed life has been taken away from our churches and communities. We grieve because of the hurt and sorrow we see in the lives of his family and friends. But beyond words, we are grateful to God for the family that raised him up.

We are grateful to God for the churches he loved and nurtured.

We are grateful to God in whose name he lived each day of his life.

We are grateful to God because he has gone to be at the bosom of His Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He is not dead, he has gone to another place, another country to be with his Master. In the arms of our dear Lord Rev. Lano Longchar is now eternally blessed, secured and saved. Paul says, “FOR TO ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN” (Phil 1:21) Though the churches under WSBAK mourn the death of our beloved servant of God, yet we are grateful to God for having sent His humble servant Rev.Lano Longchar and blessed us through the Word of God and his life testimony. His love for our people, his life testimony and his preaching of the Word of God will ever be cherished and remained forever with us. May God console the bereaved family!

the Giant African land snail to speed up the regeneration of the skin and eliminate scars. In France, Louis-Marie Guedon from Champagnolles has developed a secret technique to harvest the slime and has started industrial-scale snail mucus extraction operation with a target to harvest 15 tonnes every year.He has contracts with cosmetic labs that mix cosmetics for some of the biggest names in consumer beauty products.

Spas in Tokyo offer facials using live snails that crawl across the face leaving their fresh slime on the reclining client.

Snail face creams, serums and masks have surged in popularity in Japan and South Korea. Companies such as Biocutis, Misshaus, Alternative Secrets, Réelle Skincare and Peachandlily.com are some companies providing snail gel products.

Just as lipstick contains fish scales, and baby placenta, and bird droppings are in spa facials, cosmetics manufacturers are now including snail slime as the latest ingredients.

The use of slugs and snail is not without risk, however, as their slime can carry ecoli and other dangerous bacteria and rat lungworm. Lungworms are dangerous because once ingested they head to the brain where they can cause meningitis type symptoms, with damage to brain tissue and swelling of the brain.

Sir,

Inland water way

Government of India is aware that Nagaland is under special category state. People of Nagaland don’t know that the inland water transport is also available in the country. They have not seen in their dream. Meantime ministry of shipping has taken up a project for construction of inland waterway in Tizu River in Nagaland between Longmatra and international border of Myanmar for promotion of Indo-Myanmar border trade through inland water transport.

Inland water transport (IWT) proposed the length of waterway to be taken up is 42 kms. The survey work had been awarded to minor ports survey organization (MPSO) and assurance given by the minister was that survey work has to be commencing shortly. Meantime, this survey work could not be taken up because MPSO has been diverted to the Andaman & Nicobar islands to take up post-Tsunami survey however, the minister had again given the written assurance to me that to explore possibility of deputing another survey team to commence the survey work in Nagaland during last season. But this survey work is yet to start.

I therefore, request the minister for Shipping and Road Transport & Highway to get the survey work started by any team or agency and get detailed project report (DPR) prepared immediately, so that the people of Nagaland also may know the meaning of inland waterways.

Rajnath Singh

and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Emphasising that infrastructure should be adequate so that the forces would not face difficulties, Singh regretted that the special infrastructure scheme (SIS) had been stopped two years ago.

He said he had spoken to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in this regard and noted that “they assured him of its revival”.

He said that Maoists were declining continuously in strength and their big groups had no capacity to work. He felt that the focus should be on the splinter groups.

Wondering what ideology the Maoists professed, Singh said while the government intended to work for the poor, the rebels were putting hurdles. “If anyone is the enemy of the poor and the people, it is the Maoists,” the Home Minister asserted.

The Centre and the state governments are working for the poor to eliminate poverty and develop Jharkhand, but the Maoists are sabotaging it and yet claim they are the “well wishers of the poor”.

Branding Maoists as “anti-democracy and anti-poor”, Singh said, “To help the poor, the Prime Minister is giving free gas cylinder connections but the Maoists are playing with their feelings.”

CHANDIGARGH, JUN 27 (AGENCIES): Adding to the worries of actor Salman Khan, a survivor of gangrape from Hisar on Saturday has served a Rs 10-crore damage notice on him while asking him to tender a public apology over his alleged remark about rape victims.

The notice has been sent to Salman’s West Mumbai’s Bandra address. Last week, the actor made a remark linked to rape victims during a show.

The remarks had gone viral on TV, print and social media.

The actor had even clarified later and tendered an apology.

Reshma (name changed) fell prey to a group of 10 goons who allegedly raped her after kidnapping her in Hisar four years ago. Following this, the victim’s father had even committed suicide.

Four out of 10 accused have been sentenced with life imprisonment and the victim has moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking death penalty for them.

“My client has felt and is

passing through very troublesome period of psychological trauma by heart and mind by your statement of the rape victims-like feelings in the print media and social media.

Your statement dated 21-062016 is solely responsible for her mental and psychological degradation and she is in touch with psychiatrist for counselling,’’ the legal notice read as further.

“Your statement dated 21-06-2016 is wrong, illegal and against the spirit of Constitution of India and you are liable for every type of civil, criminal liabilities,” the notice served by lawyer said further.

When contacted, the rape survivor who too is part of an NGO working for the rehabilitation of rape survivors informed about taking this fight to a logical end.

“How can such a prominent personality use such words. We know the pains and sufferings of rape survivor. I have lost my everything - my father and I am yet to come to the terms of trauma I have gone through.

Artificial insemination trg concludes

ACAUT busts fuel adulteration...

From p-1) Further inputs drew the entire team back to Dimapur where they went to a place behind Tata Parking, used as another petrol adulteration unit. The team found ten tanks of 2000 litre capacity and another four tanks of 10,000 litres capacity filled with kerosene and two barrels of 500 litre capacity filed with petrol. The team also found a ten-wheeler truck and another six-wheeler truck used for transportation.

It may be noted, that all the adulteration units were operating independent off each other. The taxation department needs to order a thorough investigation on exactly how all the petrol pumps get the oil and also backed by movement and transit permits from various oil depots.

ACAUT also expressed deep suspicion that officials of Food and Civil Supplies Department and other senior government officials could be involved in the racket.

ACAUT issued an ultimatum on the district administration and law enforcing agencies to bust the entire racket and book all culprits under the provision of law within a period of one week time.

RANCHI, JUN 27 (PTI): Rooting for complete eradication of Naxalism from the country, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Monday hoped that Jharkhand becomes the first state to be freed of extremism among other Naxalaffected states.

“Solution to the Maoist problem in Jharkhand will be found,” Singh said, adding that he was convinced of the capability of Jharkhand Jaguar (special force) to root out Naxalism.

Addressing jawans after inaugurating an administrative building, parade ground and other newly constructed buildings here, Singh appreciated the valour of the Jharkhand Jaguar force.

He said that the martyrs not only shed blood for Jharkhand but also for the country. He said even a single incident of killing in the hands of extremists had pained him

Arundhati Bhattacharya

NEW D ELH I , J u n 2 7 (Agencies): The government has narrowed down its list of candidates to become the next governor of the Reserve Bank of India to four, a senior government official told Reuters.

A new Monetary Policy Committee also will be chosen soon, the official said.

The moves seek to ensure policy continuity after RBI chief Raghuram Rajan shocked markets 10 days ago when he announced he would not seek reappointment in September.

The failure of negotiations on his possible return had sparked fears that Rajan’s departure could put at risk the inflation-targeting central

banker’s gains in stabilising Asia’s third-largest economy over the past three years.

Sending a reassuring message to markets, the official said that the list of candidates to replace Rajan had been whittled down to four - three of them central bank veterans, with the other the head of the country’s largest commercial bank.

The four were current RBI Deputy Governor Urjit Patel, former deputy governors Rakesh Mohan and Subir Gokarn, and State Bank of India Chair Arundhati Bhattacharya.

Another official from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office said that Rajan was expected to join the search

committee to appoint three external members of a new six-member RBI Monetary Policy Committee.

The objective was to ensure that the MPC is constituted as soon as possible, before the appointment of Rajan’s successor, both officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

“We are very hopeful that the present governor will be a member of this search committee,” the first official said, adding that if all goes well the new panel would be formed by Aug. 1.

If that timetable holds, it would mean that the MPC is in place in time for the last bi-monthly policy meeting that

Rajan is expected to chair in early August.

The central bank held rates earlier this month after an uptick in consumer price inflation, but maintained its easing bias, meaning it is more likely to reduce interest rates than to raise them in future.

Under the finance bill passed this year, three members of the MPC would be RBI insiders, headed by the governor.

The three external members would be chosen by a search committee comprising Modi’s cabinet secretary, the RBI governor, the secretary of the finance ministry’s department of economic affairs and three outside experts chosen by the government.

Assocham for gender parity as women workforce falls tors,” a study said. India has recorded the lowest FLFP rate among BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations, noted the study, titled ‘Female Labour Force Participation in India’, by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) and knowledge firm Thought Arbitrage Research Institute (TARI). India rates lowest in terms of FLFP with a dismal score and a huge gap between it and the other BRICS countries - China (64 per cent), Brazil (59 per cent), Russia (57 per cent), South Africa (45 per cent) and India (27 per cent), it said.

The study suggested promoting skill training programmes for women, setting up child care centres in large

Online system to check delay in pension soon: Govt New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): All Central government ministries will soon be connected to an online system to ensure quick grant of pension and check any delay in its disbursal.

Besides, the Centre has decided that all Pension Payment Orders (PPOs) will be digitised.

Addressing a conference of pensioners association, Union Minister Jitendra Singh suggested an institutionalized mechanism to make good use of the knowledge, experience and efforts of retired employees which can help in the value addition to the current scenario.

“All central ministries and departments will be linked to the online Pension Sanction and Payment Tracking System ‘Bhavishya’ very soon,” he said.

With this step, the pension release will be expedited and it will also help in quick resolution of pending issues,

the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, said.

Singh said India has a large number of pensioners and to make best use of them is a “challenge”.

“Retired employees are a healthy and productive workforce for India and we need to streamline and channelise their energies in a productive direction” “We should learn from the pensioners’ experience,” he said addressing the 28th Standing Committee of Voluntary Agencies (SCOVA) here.

Singh said that a focused approach and emphatic attitude need to be developed towards the pensioners.

Earlier, C Viswanath, the Secretary, Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare, and Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, directed that the Pension Payment Order (PPOs) sbe digitised.

numbers, ensuring women safety and security in every sphere through efforts by both the Central and state governments and other such measures to boost female labour force participation in India.

Even a 10 per cent increase in FLFP rate can boost gross domestic product (GDP) by 0.3 per cent, according to The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (Escap), it added. The gap between rural male and female labour force participation in India in 2011 stood at about 30 per cent while in urban centres gap was more pronounced (about 40 per cent).

“This can be attributed to social and cultural curtailment Regd. No. 1493/2016 Date : 27-06-16

and often the lack of work opportunities,” the study noted.

As per the latest available data, the FLFP rate in India was about 36 per cent as of 2011-12, with 31 out of 35 states and union territories scoring rates below national average, while only Andhra Pradesh (erstwhile), Chhattisgarh, Sikkim and Himachal Pradesh fared better in this regard.

“My view is that we are about halfway there,” he added.

Kotak also questioned whether nationalisation of banks served the purpose of checking uneven lending to big businesses, as most of the stress on their books is due to loans to big corporates.

The bank claims to be the country’s biggest buyer of stressed loans and says that it is struggling to find deals because banks are rejecting over the true value of their troubled assets.

Last September, the RBI had estimated that stressed assets, which include restructured and non-performing loans, are amounted to 14 per cent of assets at the state-controlled banks. This also account for about three-quarters of banking assets.

Kotak Mahindra, the country’s third-biggest nonstate bank by market capitalisation stood at 2.1 per cent of its loan book at the end of March for the non-performing assets.

New Delhi, Jun 27 (PTI): CBDT has issued a new circular clarifying that the Tax Collected at Source (TCS) levy will not be applicable when cash part of the payment for certain goods or services is less than Rs 2 lakh, even when the total payment is more than this amount.

A fresh circular has been issued by the Board to clarify the issue with regard to applicability of the provisions to levy TCS, as announced in the Budget, where the sale consideration received is partly in cash and partly in cheque.

“TCS will not be levied if the cash receipt does not exceed Rs two lakh even if the sale consideration exceeds Rs two lakh,” the Central Board of Direct Taxes said.

It illustrated this statement by an example that in a case where a good worth Rs 5 lakh is sold for which the consideration amounting to Rs 4 lakh has been received in cheque and Rs 1 lakh has been received in cash. “As the cash receipt does not exceed Rs 2 lakh, no tax is required to be collected at source as per Section 206C (1D),” it said.

Cameron’s replacement to take over by early September

LONDON, JUN 27 (PTI): The successor to British Prime Minister David Cameron will be in place by September 2, the Conservative Party said on MondaY following the Brexit fiasco.

According to the Conservative party’s 1922 Committee, consisting of senior MPs who run Tory leadership elections, nominations for the post will open on Wednesday and close on Thursday.

“We... recommend that the process of electing a new leader of the Conservative Party should commence next week... and conclude no later than Friday September 2, although an earlier conclusion may be possible,” said committee chief Graham Brady.

“I think the view of the party is that both we as Conservatives and the country more generally, really want certainty, we would like some resolution, and we think it would be a good thing to conclude this process as soon as we practicably can,” said Brady.

“That ought to mean that we would have a new prime minister before the House of Commons returns for its September sitting,” said Brady.

A list of nominees will then be whittled down to two candidates in a series of votes by Tory MPs, with the final two then voted on by Conservative members.

The new party leader and PM candidate is then expected to be formally declared

by September 2.

Cameron, 49, who has been Britain’s Prime Minister

Cameron cautions Scotland against 2nd independence referendum

David Cameron for six years, announced his resignation at the Downing Street doorstep in his first speech following the results of last week’s referendum in favour of Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU).

He had said that his successor would be in place before the Conservative party’s annual conference in the first week of October.

Among those expected to enter the Tory leadership race include leading Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson, UK Home Secretary Theresa May, former defence secretary Liam Fox and Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb.

It has been suggested UK Chancellor George Osborne could back Johnson in return for the promise of a frontline role in the new Cabinet.

There is also speculation that a new prime minister could call a snap general election later this year, or early 2017, in order to win a personal mandate from the British public.

Pak looks for lobbyist in US after diplomatic disasters ISLAMABAD, JUN 27 (PTI): Pakistan is scouting for a new lobbyist in the US after suffering two diplomatic setbacks when America refused to subsidise an F-16 deal and openly campaigned to induct India into the NSG, a media report said on Monday. The ties between the two countries have plummeted over differences about how to deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan and allegation by the US that Pakistan failed to root out militants groups.

Nadeem Hotiana, Pakistan Embassy spokesman in Washington, confirmed the country was now looking for a paid lobbyist “but has not yet taken any decision”, the Dawn reported. Earlier, Locke Lord Strategies was hired in 2008 to lobby for Pakistan but Islamabad failed to renew its contract with the firm in July 2013. The group was hired by government of Pakistan People’s Party mainly because one of its partners, Mark Siegel, was a personal friend of the late prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

The embassy was paying USD 75,000 per month to this group, which is the lobbying arm of the law firm Locke Lord, but it failed to improve Pakistan’s image. Pakistan’s main expectation from the firm was to promote its interests on Capitol Hill, where it often has to face angry lawmakers every time an issue related to the country is discussed. But the firm had little

influence on the Hill.

It proved equally ineffective in lobbying the US media for Pakistan. There were occasions when the embassy’s press section managed to gather more senior journalists than did the firm for official briefings and for group or individual meetings with visiting Pakistani leaders.

Cameron today cautioned Scotland against triggering a second referendum on the region’s independence from the UK after Britain voted to leave the European Union despite strong Scottish support for remaining a member of the bloc.

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been holding a flurry of meetings to weigh up her response to last week’s referendum, in which Scotland voted decisively to remain a member of the 28nation EU, in stark contrast to the UK-wide results in favour of Brexit. “The reasons for Scotland to be in the UK are as strong now as they were 18 months ago. The last thing Scotland needs now is another divisive referendum,” Cameron’s Downing Street spokesperson said.

However, Sturgeon has already indicated that circumstances had significantly changed since the first independence referendum held in 2014 and that a second independence referendum was back “on the table”.

Scotland voted by 62 per cent to Remain in the EU while Britain, as a whole, voted by 52 per cent to 48 per cent to leave Europe.

The First Minister will make a statement to the Scottish Parliament on the outcome of the EU referendum tomorrow, which will be followed by a debate on the implications of the result for Scotland.

Turkish president apologises to Putin over Ankara’s jet

German, French Border dispute a major challenge ministers call for for Sino-India ties: China minister strong Europe

MOSCOW, JUN 27 (AFP): Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has apologised to Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over Ankara’s downing of a Russian military jet last year that shattered ties, the Kremlin said on Monday.

“The head of the Turkish state in his message expressed his sympathy and deepest condolences to the family of the dead Russian pilot and said sorry,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

He added that Erdogan said he wanted to do “everything possible for the restoration of the traditionally friendly relations between Turkey and Russia.”

The Kremlin then released a statement citing Erdogan as saying Ankara “never had the desire and the intention” to down the Russian jet.

“I want to once again express my sympathy and deep condolences to the family of the dead Russian pilot and I say sorry,” the statement quoted Erdogan as saying.

Turkey’s downing in November of the warplane on its border with Syria -- where Moscow is flying a bombing campaign in support of long-standing ally President Bashar al-Assad -- sparked an unprecedented crisis in the two nations’ relations.

According to the Kremlin, Erdogan also said that authorities were probing a Turkish national allegedly responsible for the downing of the jet.

BEIJING, JUN 27 (PTI): China has said the vexed border dispute with India and some “emerging new issues” pose a “major challenge” to the development of bilateral ties.

“As the two neighbouring countries, China and India have historical issues such as the border dispute and also some emerging new issues with the development of the relations between the two countries. How to deal with these issues is a major challenge for the relationship between the two countries,” Chinese Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs Li Huilai said.

“The two sides have agreed to strengthen communication and dialogue, and to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution through friendly consultations, and to manage and control these issues so that the overall development of the relationship between the two countries is not affected,” he

BERLIN, JUN 27 (IANS): German and French foreign ministers raised proposals on Monday to prevent “erosion” of the European Union and improve its solidarity after Britain decided to leave the bloc in a referendum last week. “We are seeing the European Union being severely put to the test,” said German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and French Foreign Minister JeanMarc Ayrault in a joint document titled “A strong Europe in a world of uncertainties.”

The two ministers said the decision of the British people last week marked a watershed moment in the history of Europe and created a new situation, reported Xinhua news agency. “Neither a simple call for more Europe nor a phase of mere reflection can be an adequate answer,” the document read, “To prevent the silent creeping erosion of our European project, we have to be more focused on essentials and on meeting the concrete expectations of our citizens.”

main task that lies ahead for both China and India is to implement the consensus between leaders of both countries and strengthen the good momentum of the development in their ties.

“Over the past years, China and India have kept their relationship developing in a sound and steady manner. The leaders of the two countries have successfully exchanged visits and met repeatedly, reaching an important consensus on deepening the strategic partnership between China and India and building a closer partnership for development,” said Li. Asked why Beijing blocked India’s bid to get Jaish-e- Mohammed chief Masood Azhar banned by the UN, he said, “China supports the fight against terrorism in all forms and advocates strengthening international counter-terrorism cooperation.

Labour leader under pressure as more ministers quit LONDON, JUN 27 (IANS): With the resignation of 11 shadow ministers on Monday morning, British opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has lost more than half his cabinet and seen more than 30 of his MPs revolt against his leadership since the Brexit vote.

Corbyn, who has refused to step down as the Labour leader, is reportedly planning a secret vote on Tuesday on his future.

The Labour rebels have criticised his performance in the European Union referendum and he faces more resignations from the junior frontbench ranks amid fresh calls for him to stand down as leader, the Telegraph online reported.

Jeremy Corbyn’s grip on the Labour leadership looked increasingly weak as Angela Eagle became the most senior member of his shadow cabinet to quit.

told PTI. The Minister, however, did not specify what are the “emerging new issues” faced by the two countries.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who was on a five-day visit to China last week, had said on Friday that the differences between India and China on the boundary issue and other matters may have “some marginal effect” on bilateral trade but businesses between the two sides have been expanding.

The two countries held talks in April this year to resolve the vexed border dispute. While China claims the border dispute is confined to 2,000 kilometres, mainly Arunachal Pradesh in eastern sector which it claims as part of southern Tibet, India asserts the dispute covered the whole of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) including the Aksai Chin occupied by China during the 1962 war.

Anurag Kashyap: I am still at Glimpses of Glastonbury 2016 the periphery in Bollywood F

rom being on the fringes of the Hindi film industry to becoming a sought after director with a dedicated fan base, Anurag Kashyap has come a long way but the filmmaker says he would rather stay at the periphery than be an insider in Bollywood. After more than a decade in the industry and a host of brilliant films to back him, Anurag says he is extremely comfortable in his own space and no longer wishes to be part of the “interiors” of Bollywood.

“I am still at the periphery in Bollywood. The fact is that I have stopped trying to be part of the interior now. I am very comfortable where I am right now in my career and with myself. I have become mature. May be that’s because of my age... I just want to make films,” Anurag

told PTI. Entering the industry at a point when soft romantic stories were popular, Anurag’s work explored the grittier and darker stories be it is writing in films like ‘Satya’, ‘Shool’ and ‘Kaun’ or initial films as a director, ‘Black Friday’, ‘Paanch’ and ‘No Smoking’.

He eventually got acceptance

with critical acclaim for ‘Dev D’, ‘Gulaal’, ‘That Girl in Yellow Boots’ and his biggest success till date, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur- 1 and 2’ and Hindi film industry had found its new rebel.

But the director cringes at the many fancy labels that have been attached to him. “I never called myself rebellious.

All my life has been about one thing, I will do what I want to do and will stand by what I believe in. In that, people have given me definitions and interpretations. So, I think it’s their problem, not mine.

“I find these labels irritant. It irritates me, it nags me like a leech and I feel why doesn’t it go. I want to be left alone. If I had my way, I would want the world to leave me alone. I love complete isolation,” he says.

“I’m determined to give my best at Rio as it is going to be my last Olympics,” the 24year-old boxer from Haryana added.

Vikas, who had sustained a cut during his quarterfinal contest at Baku, said he would need a couple of days to recover and then travel to Venezuela to train for the Olympics. “I am going to Venezuela on June 30 and will be there till July 10.

“Then I’ve gone for two Kiwis. That’s purely because when I was captain of New Zealand, I said I’d never change (Boult and Southee) for the world. I saw them change us from an average Test team to a much harder to beat Test team, because of their ability to get 20 wickets,” he added.

Vikas confident of winning at Rio NEW DELHI, Jun 27 (PTI): Vikas Krishan, one of the three Indian boxers to have qualified for the Rio Olympics, on Monday said he has bright prospects of winning a bronze medal at the upcoming Games, which could be his last.

Vikas (75kg) grabbed an Olympic berth with a bronzemedal finish at the recentlyconcluded International Boxing Association’s (AIBA) World Qualifying Tournament at Baku, Azerbaijan.

“I have a feeling that I will win a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics. I will have to win two bouts to bag a bronze. I am hoping to get a favorable draw as my world ranking is decent and hopefully I won’t face tough boxers in my first two rounds,” a modest Vikas told reporters at an event here.

“The fact that I will be fighting in same category in which Vijender Singh had won a bronze, I have a strong feeling that I will also finish third.

Vijender had won a bronze at the World Championship and so did I, while he had bagged a silver at Asian Championship and I also did the same,” he added.

Vikas, who had lost to USA’s Errol Spence in the pre-quarterfinals of the 2012 London Olympics in a contentious bout, said he would not leave any stone unturned to win a medal this time around as it would be his last Games.

“For the London Olympics, I had qualified some eight months prior to the Games but failed to win a medal there. This time there was a lot of tension as I had not qualified earlier, but that forced me to work very hard.

I didn’t rest for a single day.

And that reflected in my results at Baku.

NE W DE L H I , J u n 2 7 (Agencies): A unique centur y was scored on Sunday. It didn’t come in a cricket game, but had Team India written all over it. The country’s contingent to the Rio Olympics swelled to over 100 - the largest ever for the quadrennial event.

The milestone was reached when quarter-miler Mohammad Anas, sprinter Srabani Nanada, long jumper Ankit Sharma and archer Atanu Das clinched Rio berths.

Par ticipating in a qualifying event in Poland, Anas made the grade by clocking 45.40 seconds in the men 400m to equal the qualification mark and win gold in the Poland National Athletics Championships.

The 21-year-old also smashed his own national mark of 45.44s. “This has to be the best moment in my career.

It hasn’t sunk in yet that I’m going to the Olympics,” the Kerala runner gushed. At the Kosanov Memorial Meet in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Odisha sprinter Srabani Nanda won a qualification in the 200m race. Almaty was the scene of Dutee Chand’s history-making women’s 100m qualification a day earlier.

Completing a rare double for India, Srabani clocked 23.07 secs, a good 0.13 seconds off the Olympic qualifying mark of 23.20, and win bronze at Almaty. Rachita Mistry was the last Indian woman to qualify for the women’s 200m,

Considered as one of the most successful all-rounders in the history of the game, Kallis is next in the batting slot while stumper Gilchrist is McCullum’s choice for the No.7 position.

“At number six I’ve gone for the greatest all-rounder in my opinion of all time, Kallis, he’s a bit lower in the batting order than he’s used to but I’m sure he’ll find his way, he’s an adaptable man.”

Sachin lone Indian in McCullum’s all-time XI

London, Jun 27 (IANS): Batting icon Sachin Tendulkar is the lone Indian to find a place in former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum’s list of all-time cricketing XI with West Indian legend Vivian Richards as the captain.

M c C ullum ’s tea m comprises four Australians in Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne and Mitchell Johnson, three West Indians in Vivian Richards, Brian Lara and Chris Gayle, two Kiwis in Tim Southee and Trent Boult, Tendulkar and South Africa’s Jacques Kallis.

The Kiwi great, who broke the record for fastest Test ton in his final match, opted for Gayle and Tendulkar to open the batting with former Australia skipper Ponting at first drop. “I wanted someone destructive at the top of the order. Chris Gayle -- there ain’t much better than that,” McCullum was quoted as saying by lords.org.

“Obviously Sachin can bat for days. Ponting is another man with phenomenal statistics, he takes the game on and even if you lose two early wickets, he’s still going to come on and play his shots and be aggressive.”

In the middle order, McCullum went for Lara at No.4 followed by the legendary Richards. “(Lara) can hopefully take the game away in a session.

Chile retain Copa America crown

penalties once again but after Vidal’s opening effort was saved, Messi miscued, bowing his head and clenching his fists in frustration.

Nicolas Castillo and Aranguiz converted their kicks for Chile, while Javier Mascherano and Aguero dispatched theirs, but after Beausejour put Chile ahead, Bravo dived to his right to save from Biglia.

Silva kept his cool, drilling low into the corner as Chile’s players raced to celebrate, Messi consoled by his team-mates as Argentina glory remains elusive.

Brazil to host 2019 Copa America

Chile celebrates the win over Argentina during the Copa America Centenario Championship match in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

E a s t Ru t h er f o r d, Jun 27 (Agencies): Lionel Messi missed a spot-kick as Chile beat Argentina on penalties in the Copa America final for the second successive year.

Messi blasted wide from 12 yards after a feisty contest that saw both sides reduced to 10 men had finished goalless after 120 minutes, Lucas Biglia also fluffing for Argentina before Francisco Silva struck decisively to seal a 4-2 shootout victory for the holders.

Sergio Aguero spurned fine chances to make the breakthrough in regular and extra-time, slicing wide before seeing Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo stretch improbably

to push a looping header over the bar.

But Argentina’s 23-year trophy drought goes on and Messi - playing two days after his 29th birthday - is still to win silverware with his country’s senior team, who have now lost three major finals in a row following defeats at the 2014 World Cup as well as last year’s tournament.

An fractious showpiece for the 100th anniversary tournament - in front of a crowd of more than 82,000 - saw eight yellow cards as well as first-half reds for Chile’s Marcelo Diaz (28) and then Manchester United’s Marcos Rojo (43).

Argentina should have

taken the lead on 21 minutes when Gary Medel miscontrolled a back-pass but Gonzalo Higuain’s attempted chip over Bravo dropped wide.

Diaz had already seen yellow when he was penalised for a body-check on Messi but the contest was pock-marked by flare-ups and ill-timed challenges.

Messi was booked for diving - Chile’s players surrounding the referee in protest - after he tumbled following a collision with Jose Pedro Fuenzalida but the card was red when Rojo caught Arturo Vidal two minutes before the break.

Premier Futsal ropes in ex-Real Madrid defender Salgado

Michel Salgado Mumbai, Jun 27 (IANS): The world’s first-ever multinational Futsal league, Premier Futsal, announced on Monday the signing of former Spain and Real Madrid defender Michel Salgado in a three-year deal.

Salgado, part of Real Madrid’s star-studded ‘Galacticos’ line-up that also included Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham, has won four La Liga titles, two UEFA Champions League crowns

and an Inter-Continental Cup during his career.

The defender, who after a decade at Real Madrid moved to Blackburn Rovers for a three-year stint in the English Premier League, also made 53 appearances for Spain.

His signing marked a major coup for Premier Futsal, after the league roped in former Manchester United star Paul Scholes, FC Porto and Barcelona Champions League winner Deco and global futsal

legend Alessandro Rosa Vieira, fondly known as Falcao, to name a few.

“Futsal is an extremely underrated sport. It has been the breeding ground for some of the biggest names in football the world over and I’m glad Premier Futsal in India is creating a platform that can showcase the sport and give it its due,” Salgado said in a release.

“I think the talent the league has managed to draw is fantastic with not just futsallers like Falcao but also career football players like Paul Scholes and Deco taking part,” the former Real star added. “It’s almost nostalgic in a way to go up against these players again and I’m really looking forward to reliving the old days and reigniting those old rivalries, this time on the futsal court.”

Premier Futsal, a game split into two halves of 20 minutes each, will be hosted by eight Indian cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi, Hyderabad and Goa from July 15 to 24 in a franchise based outfits in the inaugural season.

bookings as the match continued to raise tempers and tension only grew as chances came and went at both ends.

Chile striker Eduardo Vargas went close in the 80th minute, thumping a fierce low shot that Sergio Romero did well to block at his near post, while Aguero blazed high when in prime position four minutes later.

Ramiro Funes-Mori made a stunning match-saving block to deny Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez - substituted before the shoot-out - as the clock ticked down but the best chance came in extra-time when Aguero drew a stunning reaction save from Bravo.

The Copa America, the world’s oldest competition among national soccer teams, will be played in Brazil in 2019, taking the tournament back to South America after this year’s centennial edition was organised by first-time hosts the United States.

Brazil last hosted the tournament in 1989, winning the trophy, South American Soccer Federation, or Conmebol, president Alejandro Dominguez said.

This will be the fifth time that the Copa America is played in Brazil, which hosted the event in 1919, 1922, 1949 and 1989.

The South American soccer powerhouse has won the title eight times.

In 2012, the Brazilian Soccer Federation, or CBF, approved an agreement that awarded Chile the 2015 Copa America hosting rights and assigned the 2019 tournament to Brazil.

Brazil hosted the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2013, the World Cup in 2014 and is the site of the Summer Olympic Games this summer.

Messi retires from intl football East Rutherford, Jun 27 (Agencies):Lionel Messi has retired from international football after Argentina crashed to a defeat against Chile in the final of the Copa America.

“For me the national team is over. I’ve done all I can, it hurts not to be a champion,” said the 29-year-old Barcelona superstar in the wake of the penalty shoot-out defeat in New Jersey.

“It’s been four finals, it’s not meant for me. I tried. It was the thing I wanted the most, but I couldn’t get it, so I think it’s over.”

Messi’s announcement, just two days after his 29th birthday, comes after Argentina suffered their third loss in a major final since 2014.

The five-time FIFA Player of the Year, winner of four Champions League titles and eight Spanish La Liga crowns with Barcelona, missed from the penalty spot as Argentina lost to Chile for the second straight year, losing 4-2 in the shootout following a goalless 120 minutes.

They were beaten 1-0 by Germany in the final of the World Cup in 2014 and lost on penalties, also to Chile, in the final of the 2015 Copa America, while Messi also tasted defeat with Argentina in the final of the 2007 Copa America.

“On top of everything, I missed the penalty kick,” Messi added on Argentinian TV network TyC. “I think this is best for everyone. First of all for me, and then for everyone. I think there’s a lot of people who want this, who obviously are not satisfied, as we are not satisfied reaching a final and not winning it.” Although regarded as one of the greatest footballers ever, Messi has regularly been criticised by demanding fans for his failure to land a major title with Argentina.

Messi’s bombshell decision comes after a gruelling season which was disrupted by injury last year.

He recovered to help Barcelona win the Spanish title once more and was relishing the prospect of leading Argentina to glory in the Copa America Centenario.

His commitment to playing for Argentina was reflected in his decision to fly from Spain to Argentina for a low-key friendly against Honduras shortly before the tournament, where he suffered a back injury.

He then returned to Spain

to give evidence at his trial for tax fraud before jetting off to the United States to join up with his Argentina team-mates.

Although he was injured for his team’s opening group game against Chile, he came on as a substitute in a 5-0 hammering of Panama to score a hat-trick in 19 minutes.

He then equalled Argentina’s international goalscoring record of 54, held by Gabriel Batistuta, in the quarter-finals before setting a new mark with his 55th international goal in the semi-final win over the United States.

Chile’s Argentina-born coach Juan Antonio Pizzi paid respects to his countryman after the victory, describing Messi as the “best player ever.”

Hazard powers Belgium past stubborn Hungary 4-0

Paris, Jun 27 (Agencies): A superb performance

by Eden Hazard guided Belgium to a 4-0 victory over Hungary on Sunday and a place in the European Championship quarterfinals.

Defender Toby Alderweireld opened the scoring with a header in the 10th minute, but Belgium had to wait until the closing stages before securing a convincing victory at the Stadium de Toulouse, thanks to some moments of brilliance from Hazard.

The Chelsea playmaker provided the pass for substitute Michy Batshuayi to tap home in the 78th minute, and then scored a spectacular solo goal after a mazy run two minutes later.

Yannick Ferreira Carrasco added the fourth in stoppage time as Belgium lined up a quarterfinal against Wales on Friday in Lille.

Hungary paid for an early defensive lapse that left its players chasing the game and exposed to Belgium’s attacks on the break.

Romelu Lukaku and Alderweireld both broke away from the Hungary defense and were left unmarked when Kevin De Bruyne’s free kick from

the left swerved in. Lukaku was inches away from making contact but Alderweireld jumped at the same time and powered the ball home.

Despite the early blow, Hungary defended robustly and looked dangerous at times.

But Belgium stretched Hungary’s defense on numerous occasions with its creative attacking play, with Hazard and De Bruyne pulling the strings.

De Bruyne hit the crossbar with a free kick in the 35th minute and was lively throughout the match, only to be denied several times by goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly.

Hungary had its chances to equalize, with captain Balazs Dzsudzsak going close with a shot that flew just wide of the post. Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois nearly gifted Hungary a goal when he slipped while trying to control a back pass in the first half.

Luckily for the Chelsea player, it trickled out for a corner.

Hungary’s players had no such luck in the closing stages, as Hazard put the match beyond their reach.

Moscow, Jun 27 (IANS): Russia’s Investigative Committee has sent a request to the United States demanding to question former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov, committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said on Monday.

On June 18, the Russian Investigative Committee opened criminal proceedings against Rodchenkov, who has fled to the United States, on charges of abuse of authority.

Rodchenkov has spoken widely about how Russia ran a cover-up of doping by dozens of its athletes at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

“We have sent a request on legal assistance to the US competent bodies so that they interrogate him on our questions. Let’s see how they will implement this request,” Tass quoted Markin as saying by the Vesti FM radio station.

“Judging by his (Rodchenkov’s) words and his explanations hysterics, it is not ruled out that this was done to discredit the Russian anti-doping

system and provoke a scandal,” Markin said.

In particularity of the Russia’s investigation on Rodchenkov, he said he substituted more than 100 samples taken from Russian athletes during the Sochi Olympics.

On June 8, the investigative committee also opened a criminal case against the persons who managed the AllRussian Athletics Federation (ARAF) in 2009-2013 over office abuse, which cause disqualification of athletes over doping use. The investigation will look into materials published in some media, where the former official claimed in interviews many violations of the antidoping regulations in the Russian sports. The investigation will also include his participation, and also into the information presented in report of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) of November 9, 2015, related to Rodchenkov’s orders to discard on December 12, 2014, doping probes, which violated international standards, the spokesman said.
