In a representation to DoSE commissioner & sec retary through principal director, ANSTA president Kasheto Sumi and general secretary Pekinto Y Jimo re called that the teachers were appointed against sanc tioned posts on ad hoc basis between 1995 and 2012. They said the first ap pointees of 1995 had com pleted uninterrupted ser vice of over 26 years, while the last appointees of 2012 had completed 10 years of uninterrupted service. They pointed out that these teachers appointed in the prime of their lives were now left helpless or rather overaged to find another job to sustain their livelihood. The duo mentioned that the 2015 batch teachers had also undergone suitability test for service regularisation, which had been acknowledged by the State government in its letter to Personnel & Admin istrative Reforms (P&AR) Department joint secretary on August 8, 2017. The DoSE under-sec retary had also written a letter to the Cabinet Cell deputy secretary on October 26, 2017 for service regula risation of the 2015 batch, they added. However, they lamented that the regula risation process had not materialised to date due to which ANATG-2015 Batch had served an ultimatum to the State government on July 21, 2022.

DIMAPUR: Longwa Village Council (LVC) and Longwa Students’ Un-ion (LSU) have vehemently condemned the August 15, firing incident at Nyasa Village and Longwa Village, where some Indian army personnel were also injured. In a joint statement, LVC chairman, Nyasa Village and Longwa Village and LSU president, Jeilei said the incident which occurred on the na-tion’s Independence Day created a very tense environment while sending waves of fear and terror among the people of the region. LVC and LSU said the people of Longwa are “shocked and dismayed at the audacity of the concerned group/ individual to carry out operations in the heart of the village while risking the lives of the peace-loving inno-cent people, just for the sake of their inter est”. Despite of the strategic location of the village, LVC and LSU said the people of Longwa, though their minds are filled with fear, have been en-joying a peaceful environment for decades. “The reckless behaviour of the concerned group/individual has now be-come a barrier to our attachment to a peaceful environment, since our minds are disturbed post the incident,” read the statement. LVC and LSU said such acts would only be a hindrance to Naga Political Talks and that the stake holders should strictly refrain from use of vio-lence especially at the cost of risking the lives of the innocent public. Further, LVC and LSU has strongly appealed the concerned group/individual to abstain from cre ating such untoward incident hereafter and warned that such action would only invite non-cooperation of the people towards them.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia Thursday wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah urging him to order an “im partial probe” to ascertain on whose instructions the decision to shift Rohingyas to flats here was taken. Addressing a press con ference, Sisodia termed the move to shift Rohingya refugees “a conspiracy” and alleged that the decision in this regard was taken by some central government officials and those of Delhi Police while keeping him and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal “completely in dark”. “Hence I have writ ten a letter to home minister and requested that he should first make Centre’s stand clear before the country. If the Centre also believes that Rohingyas must not be allowed to settle down, then on whose instruction these decisions were being taken going against even the Centre’s stand. An impartial probe should be held into the issue, and whosoever, if they were going against the Centre’s stand or go ing ahead hiding it from the elected government of Delhi, strict action should be taken against them,” he said. Sisodia said the Kejriwal dispensation has made its stand clear time and again that it considers any type of “illegal stay of Rohingyas” in the national capital a threat to Delhi and national“Wesecurity.didnot take any decision to shift Rohingya Muslims to flats. The Cen tre also says it didn’t. Then who did it?” Sisodia asked and demanded strict action against those behind the decision. Sisodia claimed the Union Home Ministry came out with a clarification on the issue on Wednesday only after a row erupted over Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri’s tweets on the move to shift Rohingyas to apartments in Bakkarwala area in outer Delhi. Hours after Puri said that Rohingya refugees in the national capital will be shifted to flats for the economically weaker section, the Union Home Ministry on Wednesday denied any such move.

And the Delhi government is now planning to give them flats. Now they are distributing ‘revdi’ (free bies) to Thethem.”BJPand the AAP have been engaged in a war of words on the issue of shifting of Rohingya Mus lims to flats for the economi cally weaker section (EWS) in the Bakkarwala area in Delhi.Hours after Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday said Rohingya refugees in the na tional capital will be shifted to EWS flats, the Union Home Ministry denied any such move and directed the Delhi government to ensure that “illegal foreigners” re main in detention centres pending their extradition.

Kejriwal distributing ‘revdi’ to Rohingyas: BJP Manish Sisodia writes to Shah, seeks probe
SKM begins 75-hour-long farmers’ protest in UP here at the dharna spot on Thursday morning along with his supporters, said “our fight is for justice to the farmers killed in Tiku nia violence on October 3, 2021.”“We demand sacking of Union MoS home Ajay Kumar Mishra, compen sation to the families of farmers who died in farm ers’ agitation, law for MSP, roll back of electricity bill 2022,” Mehlo said. The Union minister’s son, Ashish Mishra, is an accused in the violence that left four farmers dead here last year.Farmers from various parts of UP, Uttarakhand, Punjab, and Haryana have started pouring in large groups to participate in the dharna.On October 3 last year, eight people were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri in Tiku nia village during a car inci dent that happened during a farmers’ protest against Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya’s visit to the area. Four farmers who were part of the protest were mowed down by an SUV, with the minister’s son allegedly as one of the occupants. A driver and two BJP workers were al legedly lynched by angry farmers.Ajournalist had also died in the violence that triggered outrage among the Opposition parties and farmer groups agitating over the Centre’s now-re pealed agriculture laws. Sandhu, when asked if permission had been taken from the district authorities for their current agitation, said, “We had informed the district authorities about the agitation.”“Though no written permission was sought or obtained, the authorities have made arrangements of safety and security, sani tation, and water etc,” he added.Elaborate security ar rangements in and around the Mandi Samiti have been ensured by the authorities.

National Health Mission, Nagaland T he local papers pub lished the Nagaland Home Commission er’s order dated August 16, 2022 based on the National Highway Act 1956 and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act 1984 including Indian Penal Code(IPC) restricting open public “bandhs, strikes, agi tations involving blocking National Highways and public roads in the State as a mode of agitation to press for (redressing) their grievances.” “…agitation to press for certain local demands, calls are given for disturbing celebrations of ‘National Days’ or forceful ly preventing law-abiding citizens from participating in such celebrations and functions.” On the eve of the 75 years celebration of India’s Independence Day, the NSCN(K-YA) and ULFA jointly called for boycott. It is therefore obvious and relevant that such an order restricting anti- national elements from disturbing the set na tional day celebrations by the Govt. is correct and is in the public Nevertheless,interest.such an order of the UDA Govt. intending to totally curb the voice of the aggrieved individual or a group of the aggrieved individuals seeking for redress through peaceful agitation in Naga land is against the spirit of democracy. The very order, as I understood, implies that the general public has no right to disagree and to criticize the decisions and actions of the Govt. how ever detrimental it may be. There is no law which per mits the established Govt. to take the public for a ride as though the people are lesser human beings hav ing no right to oppose and expose the wrongdoings. Rather, the Constitution of India provides the basic and fundamental rights for every citizen of India. One has the freedom of speech and expression, freedom to assemble peacefully, and the citizens have the right against exploitation. The very order is, therefore, against the spirit of the Constitution of India. No matter how trans parent and honest an es tablished Govt. of a State or of the Union may be, it is humanly impossible to usher in a perfect gov ernance. There are always both natural and unnatural tendencies to commit er rors in governance whereby any citizen or section of citizens is/are aggrieved. When so, the ag grieved party has the demo cratic rights to seek for redress through peaceful agitations. Such demon strations are natural too to cause inconveniences to the targeted authority or to the general public for a limited period of time. And if at all no such inconvenience is caused to the concerned authorities, how will the aggrieved party attract the attention of the redresser? And if the attention of the authority is not drawn by such agita tion, how will the aggrieved party ever attain redressal? Is not the very order of the Home Commis sioner, Govt. of Nagaland an overlapping notification when there has been such existing laws as quoted and not requiring repetition or addendum? Was the successful public rally on the 5th of August, 2022 at Dimapur town the eye opener as well as the eye sore to UDA Govt.? Had the facilitation of the UDA Govt. been sincere, trans parent and effective, the political solution would have evolved by now. Yet, since the UDA’s facilita tion goes ‘flip-flop’ most of the time, the citizens of Nagaland are made to feel unrepresented lest they themselves present their plight to GoI through such public involvement. And the said public rally was nothing more than the ear nest demand of the public for early political solution from the negotiators and particularly from the GoI. If the UDA is genu inely for solution, and it is believed so since it has never made any official statement against the politi cal solution there was no difference in its objectivity between the UDA Govt. and the Dimapur rallyists for the fact that the rally was solely for early politi cal solution. Therefore, the UDA is supposed to be pleased with the show of public strength on that day rather than being alarmed. What prompted the UDA Govt. to suddenly become so apprehensive about public agitations in the democratic State-Na galand? Does UDA Govt. have the hidden agenda that no right message be sent to GoI from the gen eral public out of such rallies as for the political solution is concerned? At this juncture, if one places one’s ego above solution, no matter how one pro fesses, it comes to naught. Well, much to the con sternation of the rulers, the governance of UDA Govt. has been in shambles. So much injustices have been done to the citizens of Nagaland over the years. Some few decades ago, the Opposition bench accused the Treasury bench that ‘developments are made in heaven and bills are made on earth.’ Similarly, the rul ers have been at their best in attempts to camouflage their anti-people activities with HiFi public state ments similar to that of the hiding of the Ostrich. It is therefore undem ocratic and unacceptable of such order of curbing the public agitations which are peaceful. The UDA Govt. being ultimatum fueled and agitation fueled Govt., unless democratic agitations are there, the suf fering and the suppressed public will be forced to live in the 17th and 18th centuries slavery age. The elected members have the mandate to rule the State for 5 years and yet they are not voted to take the citizens to be their slaves. I, for one, stand for democratic and peaceful agitations of any kind as my rights are enshrined in the Constitution of India. I stand against the autocratic rule because I am neither a Russian nor a Chinese, but I am a Naga and an Indian citizen. Z. Lohe
19TH AUGUST IS THE WORLD HUMANITARIAN DAY

~ C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed
When he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich. —Luke 18:23 The rich young ruler went away from Jesus speech less with sorrow, having nothing to say in response to Jesus’ words. He had no doubt about what Jesus had said or what it meant, and it produced in him a sorrow with no words with which to respond. Have you ever been there? Has God’s Word ever come to you, pointing out an area of your life, requiring you to yield it to Him? Maybe He has pointed out certain personal qualities, desires, and interests, or possibly relationships of your heart and mind. If so, then you have often been speech less with sorrow. The Lord will not go after you, and He will not plead with you. But every time He meets you at the place where He has pointed, He will simply repeat His words, saying, “If you really mean what you say, these are the“Sellconditions.”allthatyou have…” (Luke 18:22). In other words, rid yourself before God of everything that might be considered a possession until you are a mere con scious human being standing before Him, and then give God that. That is where the battle is truly fought— in the realm of your will before God. Are you more devoted to your idea of what Jesus wants than to Jesus Himself? If so, you are likely to hear one of His harsh and unyielding statements that will produce sorrow in you. What Jesus says is difficult— it is only easy when it is heard by those who have His nature in them. Beware of allowing any thing to soften the hard words of Jesus Christ. I can be so rich in my own poverty, or in the aware ness of the fact that I am nobody, that I will never be a disciple of Jesus. Or I can be so rich in the awareness that I am somebody that I will never be a disciple. Am I willing to be destitute and poor even in my sense of awareness of my destitution and poverty? If not, that is why I become discouraged. Discouragement is disillusioned self-love, and self-love may be love for my devotion to Jesus— not love for Jesus Himself.
Aday after prime minister Narendra Modi made his longest speech on India’s 75th Independence Day on the ramparts of the historic Red Fort, when he said that a distortion had crept in societal con duct toward women and therefore urged upon every In dian to respect women, eleven men convicted of raping a pregnant Bilkis Bano in 2002 in Gujarat when he was chief minister. The convicted rapists were released by the state government under remission of prisoners which is governed under some conditions. According to media reports, Bilkis Bano, was in her early twenties at the time and also pregnant. After her rapists were released, Bano, on August 17, issued a statement. She said that no one enquired about her “safety and wellbeing before taking such a big and unjust decision.”

T his monsoon session of Parliament con cluded with the pass ing of the Energy Conser vation (Amendment) Bill, 2022 (bit.ly/3pmZHkM) by the Lok Sabha. Among other things, the bill pro poses a momentous carbon market framework in India to incentivize carbon emis sion reduction. The Bill empowers the government to specify a carbon credit trading scheme as well as issue tradable carbon credit certificates. Any other au thorized agency may also issue these certificates, as per the Bill. These can be traded by entities registered for the carbon credit trad ing scheme, which may involve the sale of such credits by entities reduc ing emissions in excess of the required levels to those unable to meet their reduction requirements. Through a recent article, professor Amit Garg of IIM Ahmedabad has dis cussed how India could draw upon international experiences in designing its carbon credit market. The origins of carbon trading can be traced to 1997, when the Kyoto Pro tocol established carbon as an internationally tradable commodity and developed countries (except econo mies in transition) were mandated to have carbon markets. This changed with the Paris Agreement making it voluntary for countries. This piece dis cusses the importance of the steps taken by Indian Parliament and the need for a holistic framework to reduce carbon emissions. Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the world. We are made of carbon and so are our homes and hearth. Most economic activities lead to carbon emission into the atmosphere. Rapid indus trial growth, an outcome of the Industrial Revolution and its spread, led to the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere. Climate change is already being ex perienced and would only intensify once a tipping point is reached. This un certainty is a worry to all. In the absence of a carbon price, economic agents do not factor in the social cost of their emissions. Setting a price for carbon emissions has been conceded as an opti mal strategy to internalize these costs. Carbon pricing is often done explicitly through specific carbon taxes and carbon markets, and implicitly through in direct taxes, subsidies, etc. In addition, it is widely accepted that a portfoliobased approach with nonpricing policy measures can positively incentivize a gradual shift to low-carbon and green alternatives. Regulatory instruments like setting standards for products,

A ll human beings need help at a cer tain time. People need more support when they are in crisis or in some problem. Individu ally someone may need help but the community also needs help when they are in a disaster or conflict. There is a saying that goes: It takes a village to raise a child. Similarly, it takes a village to support a person in a humanitarian crisis. We have seen that whenever and wherever people are in need, there are others who help them. They are the affected peo ple themselves – always first to respond when di saster strikes – and a global community that supports them as they recover. Far from the spotlight and out of the headlines, they come together to ease suffering and bring hope. The global facts and figures are not positive as In 2021, 460 aid work ers were attacked: 140 killed, 203 wounded and 117 kidnapped. Of the aid workers who died, 98% were national staff and 2% were international (ex patriate) staff - more than half (53%) were staff of national NGOs. Most of the violence took place in South Sudan, Afghanistan and Syria.There is importance of humanitarian support or assistance. With recordhigh humanitarian needs around the world, this year’s World Humanitar ian Day (WHD) which is observed on 19th August builds on this metaphor of collective endeavour to grow global appreciation of humanitarian work.

promise made at the Earth Summit in 1992 and as part of the Paris Agreement in 2015. Instead, one of the biggest contributors to the world’s cumulative carbon emissions of the last 150 years, the EU, is now using disparities in carbon prices across countries as a tool to justify carbon border taxes. Europe is responsible for around 22% of the world’s carbon emissions, while a country as large as India has contributed only 3%. These taxes are being promoted as a way to prevent supposed carbon leakage from a country with stringent carboncontrol policies to those with laxer policies. Seek ing to establish a uniform emission trading system, similar regulations and comparable carbon taxes across countries violates the principle of common but differentiated respon sibilities and respective capabilities set out in the Rio convention and Paris Agreement, which also required developed coun tries to provide financial resources to assist develop ing countries in implement ing the objectives of the convention. In principle, carbon mitigation should be a shared responsibility, but the burden of carbon prices cannot be shared uniformly by all. V.

The released men were convicted following a long and complicated legal battle waged by the National men who have now been Human Rights Commis sion (NHRC) against the Gujarat government – then under Narendra Modi. The Supreme Court accepted the NHRC’s argument that the Gujarat police and ad ministration were intent on covering up the crime and handed the investigation over to the Central Bureau of Investigation. However, the release of the rapists by the prime minister’s own home state and a day after the Independence Day speech, has taken the moral wind off the sails over the gender concern. It means that speeches can be made to sound good for public consumption only. The government of Gujarat main tained that it only exercised its discretionary powers vested with the government on the basis of the 1992 remission policy. This policy was in force at the time of their conviction but does not include any category of criminal from being eligible, provided they had served at least 14 years of their total sentences. This claim has been challenged legally in the court and the outcome is awaited. The Gujarat state committee vested with recommendation for remission of sentences, has a total of four members. According to a report, among the four panel members who recommended the release of 11 convicts included two Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs. The third panel member was, one Murli Mulchandani, the person whose testimony as a prosecution witness in the Godhra train attack was disbelieved even by the trial court. Upon release on Monday, the convicts were greeted with sweets outside the Godhra jail. On March 3, 2002, Bilkis Bano, then 21 and five months pregnant including her 3-year-old daughter and family were hiding from the mob when they were attacked by 20-30 men with sticks, sickles and swords. Seven of Bano’s family were massacred while she was raped by the mob and her 3-year-old daughter snatched and murdered with her head smashed on a rock by one of the attackers. The release of the 11 rapists means that the Gujarat government placed more importance on remission than on justice for Bano. It is also very disturbing that most TV channels who continue to conduct kangaroo trials against religious minorities and including the National Commission on Women, have remained silent on the release of rapists. Bano’s case is not an isolated one but an example of how under the new Indi, there is little space for citizens from the minority religious and caste community.

SRINAGAR, AUG 18 (PTI): The National Con ference on Thursday termed the inclusion of outside vot ers in Jammu and Kashmir electoral rolls as “clear-cut de-franchising” of people of the erstwhile state, saying no outsiders should be allowed to vote just because they come here “Firstly,temporarily.thereis no clarity on what the chief electoral officer (CEO) has said. What is the criterion of an ordinarily living citizen? Can anyone, including tour ists, register their vote here?” party’s chief spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq told report ers here. He said there are apprehensions among the people, and the government should“Theclarify.important point is that there are many states in the country where there are no elections yet. Those states can send their people here, register themselves as voters, then vote and then de-register themselves here, after which they will again register themselves in their own states. “This is the ap prehension in the minds of the people as there is no clar ity... there is apprehension that all this is being done under a plan,” he said. The reaction comes after Chief Electoral Officer Hirdesh Kumar announced that the Union territory is likely to get around 25 lakh additional voters, including outsiders, after the special summary revision of elec toral rolls being held for the first time after the abroga tion of Article 370. The National Confer ence (NC) chief spokesper son said the people of Jam mu and Kashmir should be given the right to vote only because they are locals, and “no outsider should be al lowed to vote just because he has come here temporarily”.

NEW DELHI, AUG 18 (PTI): The Delhi High Court has ordered that an FIR be registered forth with against BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain on a woman’s complaint in 2018 allegingWhilerape. noting that there was a complete re luctance on the part of the police to even register an FIR, Justice Asha Menon said there was no perver sity in the 2018 trial order directing the registration of the FIR and vacated the interim orders of the court staying its “Thereoperation.isnomerit in the present petition. The petition is dismissed. The interim orders stand vacat ed. The FIR be registered forthwith. The investiga tions be completed and a detailed report under Sec tion 173 Cr.P.C. be submit ted before the learned MM (metropolitan magistrate) within three months,” said the court in its order on Wednesday.ADelhi-based woman had moved the lower court seeking registration of an FIR against Hussain on her allegation of rape. In its order, the high court said that while refer ence is made in the police status report to the record ing of the statement of the prosecutrix on four occa sions, there was no explana tion as to why the FIR was not lodged.“The FIR only puts the machinery into opera tion. It is a foundation for investigation of the offence complained of. It is only after investigations that the police can come to the conclusion whether or not an offence had been com mitted and if so by whom. In the present case, there seems to be a complete re luctance on the part of the police to even register an FIR,” said the court. A magisterial court had on July 7, 2018, or dered registration of an FIR against Hussain, saying a cognizable offence was made out in the complaint of theThiswoman.waschallenged by the BJP leader before a ses sions court which dismissed his plea.On July 13, 2018, the high court had passed an in terim order staying the trial court order which directed the Delhi Police to register the FIR. The BJP’s support to criminals displays the party’s mindset towards women, Congress leader Rahul Gan dhi alleged on Thursday and asked Prime Minister Naren dra Modi if he was ashamed of “such politics”. He cited the examples of rape cases in Unnao and Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir and now Gu jarat where the government this week released those con victed of rape and murder in the 2002 Bilkis Bano case. “Unnao - worked to save BJP MLA. Kathuarally in favour of rapists. Hathras - the government in favour of rapists. Guja rat - the release and honour of rapists. The support to criminals displays the petty mindset of the BJP towards women,” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi. “Are you not ashamed of such politics, Prime Minister ji,” he asked. Discussing the release of the Bilkis Bano case con victs, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram added that two BJP MLAs were part of the review panel that granted them“Thereremission.isan interest ing side story to the grant of remission to 11 persons convicted for gang rape in Gujarat. Among the Review Panel were two BJP MLAs Shri C. K. Raolji and Shri Suman“AnotherChauhan! member was Shri M urli Mulchan dani who was a key wit ness for the prosecution in the Godhra Train burning case!,” he alleged on Twitter. He asked whether this was a neutral, non-partisan panel of experts in criminol ogy and penology and said the district collector was the chairperson. Gandhi and his Congress party have been attacking the BJP and the prime minister for releas ing the rapists in the Bilkis Bano case by granting them remission.Eleven convicts, sen tenced to life imprisonment, walked out of the Godhra sub-jail on August 15 after the Gujarat government al lowed their release under its remission policy. They had completed more than 15 years in jail. A special CBI court in Mumbai on January 21, 2008, had sentenced the 11 to life imprisonment on charges of gangrape and murder of seven members of Bilkis Bano’s family. Their conviction was later upheld by the Bombay High Court.

LUCKNOW, AUG 18 (PTI): Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said on Thursday that the po litical shift in Bihar is a “positive sign” and hoped a strong alternative to the BJP is formed in the 2024 parliamentary polls. He also claimed that the BJP’s allies in Uttar Pradesh are not happy with it and will also break free from the saffron party in the future.JD(U)’s Nitish Kumar recently dumped the BJP and joined hands with Lalu Prasad’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (R JD), the Congress and other parties to form a new government in Bihar. In an interview to PTI at the party headquarter here, Yadav said his party is focusing on strengthening and restructuring its organ isation and will be holding a national convention this year.

NEW DELHI, AUG 15 (PTI): Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) President Vikas Singh on Monday said 43 per cent of lawmakers have criminal antecedents and the country needs a course correction by enacting a law to prevent such persons from getting elected.Singh, addressing a function at the Supreme Court on the 75th anniversa ry of India’s independence, also urged the Collegium to elevate people from the low er judiciary to the Supreme Court “only on the basis of the disposals they do rather than on the seniority”. He said these were the two areas with regard to the justice delivery -- quality of legislators and appointment of judges -- where serious reforms and serious intro spection were needed. “Today, after 75 years if we see 43 per cent of our legislators having criminal antecedents, I think we need a course correction. I think we need to amend (law) be cause no individual political party can take the initiative of ensuring that people with criminal antecedents are not elected. Because if a party does not give a ticket to somebody who has been winning, the other party will,” he said. Chief Justice of India (CJI) N V Ramana, who was the chief guest at the function, hoisted the national flag at the Supreme CourtThepremises.SCBA president also urged Law Minister Kiren Rijiju, who was pres ent on the occasion, to “seri ously think on this line”. “If there’s a law, if there’s a level playing field, then definitely we will be able to have a better Parlia ment, better law making, and more lucid discussion on law making. Justice de livery will ultimately benefit if lawmaking gets better,” he added.Regarding the judges’ appointment, he claimed that Collegium members, especially at the high courts, are more interested in elevat ing judges whom they know rather than trying to find the best names.Singhsaid his efforts as the SCBA president to get SC lawyers elevated to the bench has faced “a complete stumbling block” because “nobody is interested in good“Thatnames”.iswhere the fal lacy lies. Once in a while we have a person from the SC (bar) getting elevated but that is only when one of the Collegium members here tries to push their candida ture, and that is not a healthy thing at all...,” Singh said.
(From p-1) He said IDAN was only opening the door and bridging the gap between investors and entrepreneurs. Jamir informed that any CSO could apply for the CSRs provided they were eligible and meet all the criteria.Jamir disclosed that IDAN was a CSR registered body and had been working closely with deputy commissioners of all the districts to identify eligible CSOs for the CSR. He also pointed out that the benefits of banking were still untapped as people had only started accessing the banking sector very recently and had not been able to fully exploit the potentials available in the sector.Jamir further informed that IDAN had formed a dedicated Centre for Financial Outreach (CoFU) to help people link up with the banks. He observed that the provisions in Article 371(A) coupled with the protracted Naga issue had discouraged investors from venturing into the AdvisorState.

MUMBAI, AUG 18 (PTI): Inflation is persistently at elevated levels that warrants appropriate policy responses to anchor expectations going forward, said an RBI article published on Thursday. Retail inflation based on the consumer price index (CPI) softened to 6.71 per cent in July, mainly on account of moderation in food Theprices.Reserve Bank has increased the benchmark lending rate (repo) in three quick successions by 140 basis points to tame inflation, which remains above its tolerance level for the seventh month in a row. “...perhaps the most heartening development in recent times has been the easing of inflation in July 2022 by 30 basis points from June 2022 and an appreciable 60 basis points from the average of 7.3 per cent for “ThisQ1:2022-23.hasvalidated our hypothesis that inflation peaked in April 2022,” said the article on the ‘state of the economy’.Forthe rest of the year, the RBI’s projections scent a steady easing of the momentum of price changes, it said. The article has been authored by a team led by Reserve Bank Deputy Governor Michael Debabrata Patra. The RBI said the views expressed in the article are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Reserve Bank of India.“With the trajectory of outcomes largely in line with projections, we expect momentum to ease from 3.0 per cent in Q1 to 1.7 per cent in Q2 and further to 1.3 per cent in Q3 and turn mildly negative in Q4 before picking up modestly and on seasonal food price effects to 2.2 per cent in Q1: 2023-24,” according to the article. If these expectations hold, inflation will fall from 7 to 5 per cent in Q1 next financial year - within the tolerance band, hovering closer to the target, but not yet positioned for landing, the authorsImportedsaid. inflation pressure points remain the overarching risk, followed by pending pass-through of input costs if producers regain pricing power and wages.Yet, some risks have turned down - commodity prices, especially of crude; supply chain pressures; and revving up of monsoon activity due to the depression in the Bay of “InflationBengal.has edged down, but its persistence at elevated levels warrants appropriate policy responses to anchor expectations going forward,” the article said. It further said that global growth prospects have turned gloomier over the month.Theeasing of supply chain pressures and the recent ebbing of commodity prices are providing some breather from record high inflation. In India, supply conditions are improving, with the recent monsoon pick-up, strong momentum in manufacturing and a rebound in services. The onset of the festival season should boost consumer demand, including rural, also as sowing activity picks up. Robust central government capital outlays are supporting investment activity, it said.

And essentially the entire ecosystem is solar-powered,” he mentioned.“Civilisation uses a tiny amount of energy by comparison. Not hard to generate from wind/solar,” he added.

BAN president appointed HPMC member of NSSH L Mongkum Jamir (From p-1) would pose a grave danger to the unity and integrity of India but added that BJP was more concerned about winning elections. On the other hand, Dr. Kumar reaffirmed that Congress had always stood for the good of the country, by citing the case in 1985 when Rajiv Gandhi signed the Assam Accord with the As-sam agitation leaders. He said the Congress signed the Assam Accord on August 15, 1985 de-spite realising it would lose election because for the party, nation came first. In contrast, he said for BJP it was about winning elections even at the cost of the nation’s interest. Dr. Kumar also slammed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as BJP’s “Election Department”. According to Dr. Kumar, ED has been investigating chief minister Rio for accruing huge assets beyond which were multiple times of what was found in West Bengal against the ruling TMC. However, he said the ED stopped investigating Rio’s assets and was keeping the probe under wraps. He also hit out at Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, for being busy taking legislators across India on “tours” (referring to the recent political crisis in Maharashtra where Shiv Sena MLAs were camping at a hotel in Guwahati), rather than focussing on resolving the Naga issue as the convenor of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA). Dr. Kumar also expressed concern over the rampant taxation by armed groups in Nagaland and reminded about the August 5 public rally in Dimapur, under the aegis of Nagaland People’s Ac-tion Committee (NPAC) which had demanded early solution. Theire slams PM Addressing the media, NPCC president K. Therie questioned Prime Minister Modi on why was he continuing to “lie and betray” the aspirations of the people of Nagaland who wanted peace and settlement? He said the people of Nagaland were expecting some announcement on settlement of the Naga political issue during India’s 75th anniversary of Independence but nothing was said aboutTherieit. said Modi, as the Prime Minister of India and also representing the people of India, had lied to the Naga people despite declaring that the Naga political of issue had been resolved after signing of FA. Therie said he was in Delhi to appeal to the nation that the people deserved an honest Prime Minister. He also recalled that on his visit to Nagaland in December 2014 Modi, had promised Nagas that he will resolve the Naga issue in 18 months. But nothing was done till date even after Modi de-clared that the Naga issue had been resolved, he said. He also pointed out that the then President of India R.N. Kovind during his visit to Nagaland declared that “solution will be very soon”. However, then BJP general secretary (i/c North East) Ram Madhav declared “Election for Solution” in 2018. Likewise, Therie said the BJP had made several promises that the Naga issue will be resolved after elections of various State includingTherieManipur.alleged that the BJP after winning the elections in Manipur with the support of the insur-gent groups, decided to apply the same tactic to win the 2023 elections in Nagaland. “This is how BJP was delivering its promises to the Naga people”, Therie said. He said all these denote that the Modi government was not serious about any settlement. Therie reminded that Nagas have struggled for the past nine decades and that the way BJP gov-ernment was taking the Nagas for a ride was “unacceptable to the people”. “We are sorry but we cannot compromise our ethnic values for communalism in our soil,” The-rie stated and regretted that BJP was trying to use the Naga issue for electoral benefits.

KABUL, AUG 18 (AP): A bombing at a mosque in the Afghan capital of Ka bul during evening prayers killed at least 21 people, in cluding a prominent cleric, and wounded at least 33, eyewitnesses and police said Thursday.There was no immedi ate claim of responsibility for the attack Wednesday night, the latest to strike the country in the year since the Taliban seized power. Sev eral children were reported to be among the wounded. The Islamic State group’s local affiliate has stepped up attacks targeting the Taliban and civilians since the former insurgents’ takeover last August as US and NATO troops were in the final stages of their with drawal from the country. Last week, the IS claimed responsibility for killing a prominent Taliban cleric at his religious center in Kabul. Khalid Zadran, the spokesman for Kabul’s po lice chief, gave the figures to The Associated Press for the bombing at the Sunni mosque.According to the eye witness, a resident of the city’s Kher Khanna neigh borhood where the Siddiqui ya Mosque was targeted, the explosion was carried out by a suicide bomber.

Also Thursday, Tai wan’s military held a drill with missiles and cannon simulating a response to a Chinese missile attack. Taiwan and China split in 1949 after a civil war and have no official relations but are bound by billions of dol lars of trade and investment. The island never has been part of the People’s Republic of China, but the ruling Communist Party says it is obliged to unite with the mainland, by force if necessary. President Joe Biden’s coordinator for the Indo-Pacific region, Kurt Campbell, said last week trade talks would “deepen our ties with Taiwan” but stressed policy wasn’t chang ing. The United States has no diplomatic relations with Taiwan, its ninth-largest trading partner, but main tains extensive informal ties. The U.S. Trade Repre sentative’s announcement made no mention of tension with Beijing but said “for mal negotiations” would develop trade and regulatory ties, a step that would entail closer official interaction. Being allowed to ex port more to the United States might help Taiwan blunt China’s efforts to use its status as the island’s big gest trading partner as politi cal leverage. The mainland blocked imports of Taiwan ese citrus and other food in retaliation for Pelosi’s Aug. 2 visit. U.S.-Chinese rela tions are at their lowest level in decades amid disputes over trade, security, technol ogy and Beijing’s treatment of Muslim minorities and Hong Kong. The USTR said negotiations would be con ducted under the auspices of Washington’s unofficial embassy, the American In stitute in “ChinaTaiwan.always opposes any form of official ex changes between any coun try and the Taiwan region of China,” said Shu, the Chinese“Chinaspokeswoman.willtake all necessary measures to reso lutely safeguard its sover eignty,” Shu Washingtonsaid. says it takes no position on the sta tus of China and Taiwan but wants their dispute settled peacefully. The U.S. govern ment is obligated by federal law to see that the island has the means to defend itself. “We will continue to take calm and resolute steps to uphold peace and stability in the face of Beijing’s on going efforts to undermine it, and to support Taiwan,” Campbell said during a con ference call last Friday. China takes more than twice as much of Taiwan’s exports as the United States, its No. 2 foreign market. Taiwan’s government says its companies have invested almost $200 billion in the mainland. Beijing says a 2020 census found some 158,000 Taiwanese entre preneurs, professionals and others live on the mainland. China’s ban on imports of citrus, fish and hundreds of other Taiwanese food products hurt rural areas seen as supporters of Presi dent Tsai Ing-wen, but those goods account for less than 0.5% of Taiwan’s exports to the mainland.Beijingdid nothing that might affect the flow of pro cessor chips from Taiwan that are needed by Chinese factories that assemble the world’s smartphones and consumer electronics. The island is the world’s biggest chip supplier.
The latest survey, cov ering 1,089 Conservative Party members who hold a vote in the leadership election, was conducted between August 12 and 17. It comes on the back of a separate Conservative Home survey on Wednes day, which also gave Truss a 32-point lead in the race. The YouGov survey shows the contest has tight ened only very slightly since its last similar poll of mem bers over two weeks ago, when Truss had a 38-point lead, indicating that the debates and hustings are not injecting much-needed momentum for the Sunak camp.Only 13 per cent of voters say they have not yet decided how they will vote or will not be voting, which would not be enough to give him a last-minute swing in the online and postal ballot closing on September 2. Among those who have already voted, 68 per cent say they voted for Truss and 31 per cent for Sunak.

You can get enough essential amino acids through eating a diet rich in protein. These proteins are available in both plant foods and animal foods. Some foods contain complete proteins. These are foods that contain all 20 or more types of amino acids. Some foods are incomplete proteins and they may be missing one more of the nine essential aminoAnimalacids. and plant foods that contain complete proteins or all amino acids include:Red meat, Chicken, Fish, Seafood, Eggs, Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, Quinoa, Chia seeds, Tofu Plant foods that contain some amino acids include: Grains, Nuts, Seeds, Beans, Legumes, Fruits, Vegetables How much protein do you need? The Recommended Daily Allowance for protein is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day in the United States, or about 7 grams for every 20 pounds of bodyweight. That means if you weigh 140 pounds, you should eat about 50 grams of protein in a day.Most healthy people who live in a developed country get more than enough protein in their diet. However, millions of people, especially children and those who live in developing countries, do not get enough protein because of food insecurity. The best way to get all the amino acids you need is to eat a variety of foods throughout the day that contain amino acids. People who do not eat animal foods may need to eat more and a greater variety of plant foods that contain amino acids to reach their recommended daily intake. Risks and outlook Protein is required for your health to maintain healthy body functions. Children need extra protein as they grow, and pregnant or breastfeeding women need good amounts of protein as they grow a baby. Risks of not enough protein People who live with food insecurity may have difficulty getting enough protein and essential amino acids. People who do not eat animal foods may also be at risk for not enough protein or a variety of proteins. Too little protein and malnutrition can lead to: Poor growth Loss of muscle mass Weakened heart Weakened respiratory systemDecreased immunity Severe malnutrition and a lack of protein can lead to death.

On a pitch assisting the bowlers, left-arm spin all-rounder Akeal Hosein and pacer Alzarri Joseph picked three wickets each to bowl out New Zealand for just 190 in 45.2 overs. The chase was not straightforward for the West Indies. But Shamarh Brooks made a patient 79 off 91 balls to ensure West Indies had a rare clini cal performance in ODI cricket and take a 1-0 lead in three-match series. Martin Guptill and Finn Allen stitched a 41run opening stand in eight overs.

West Indies beat New Zealand by 5 wkt the score would have been much more lesser for New Zealand, who fell ten runs short of the 200-mark. West Indies put on a collective bowling perfor mance, with Hosein (3-28) and Joseph (3-36) being pick of the bowlers while Jason Holder (2-39), Kevin Sinclair (1-37) and Yannick Cariah (1-49) chipping in as well.New Zealand struck twice in the powerplay as Shai Hope and Kyle May ers fell to Tim Southee and Trent Boult respectively. But Brooks hanged around for long to lead the chase for West Indies, with cap tain Nicholas Pooran mak ing 28. The duo were also aided by some inconsistent bowling from New Zea land, with tearaway pacer Lockie struggling to find his rhythm.Bythe time Brooks fell, West Indies were 1725 and Jason Holder, along with Jermaine Blackwood, playing in his first ODI since 2015, saw the team get over the line with five wickets and 11 overs re maining.
The fight will take place at Brooklyn’s Bar clays Center, the setting for Wilder’s knockout wins against Dominic Breazeale, Luis Ortiz and Bermane Stiverne.Helenius (31-3) last fought on the card of the third Fury-Wilder fight, securing a sixth-round win against Poland’s Adam Kownacki.“I’vebeen waiting for this opportunity for a long time and I’m going to be ready,” said the 38-yearold. “I’m going to produce an even bigger upset than I did with Kownacki. I’m going for the belt, so this is a fight to prepare me to achieve that goal.”
