Tharoor declined to comment on whether he would throw his hat into the ring, he has written an article for the Malayalam daily ‘Mathrubhumi ‘calling for a “free and fair” election. In the article, he has said ideally the party should have announced elections also for the dozen seats on the Con gress Working Committee (CWC) itself which are sup posed to be “Allowingelected.members of the party drawn from the AICC and PCC delegates to determine who will lead the party from these key positions, would have helped legitimize the incoming set of leaders and give them a credible mandate to lead the party,” said Tharoor, who was among the group of 23 leaders who wrote to Con gress chief Sonia Gandhi in 2020 seeking organisational reforms. “Still, electing a fresh president is a start to wards the revitalisation the Congress badly needs,” the MP from Thiruvanantha puramTharoorsaid. said the elec tion also has other beneficial effects-- for instance, “we have seen the global inter est in the British Conser vative Party during their recent leadership race, a phenomenon we already witnessed in 2019, when a dozen candidates contested to replace Theresa May, and Boris Johnson emerged on top”. Replicating a similar scenario for the Congress will similarly increase the national interest in the party and galvanise more voters towards the Congress party once again, he said. “For this reason, I hope that several candidates come forward to present them selves for consideration. Putting forward their visions for the party and the nation will surely stir public inter est,” he wrote. While the party as a whole is in need of renewal, the most urgent leadership position that needs to be filled is naturally that of the Congress presi dent, Tharoor said.

In an interaction with the media, the new ly-appointed envoy also described China’s claims over Arunachal Pradesh as “outrageous”. Terming the Russian attack on Ukraine as the most serious aggres sion in the world in the last 70 years, the envoy said he believed the Indian side also very well recognise that it is a violation of in ternational law. Ackermann said India and Europe may not agree to “every single line” when it comes to the Ukraine crisis, but there was an understanding of the problem between the two sides. “We are aware of the Indian problem at the Northern border. We should not forget that China claims Arunachal Pradesh is part of China. We see very clear ly that the infringement at the border is extremely difficult and should not be accepted,” he Ackermannsaid.said India should also differentiate be tween what is happening at the border with China and Ukraine.“This (Russian attack on Ukraine) is by dimension is completely different than what we see at the border (India-China border) at an abstract level,” he said. “I think the Indian side very well recognises the vio lation of international law,” the envoy said about the Indian position on Ukraine. The ambassador wel comed India’s recent vote at the UN Security Council allowing the Ukrainian president to address the global body virtually. It is progress in India’s position, he said. The Ger man envoy said the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a constant subject of discussion between Ger many and India, adding it has “manifold impact” in cluding on food and energy security.

AGARTALA, AUG 30 (PTI): BJP president JP Nadda has said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should answer the questions on the alleged liquor scam and go to court if no wrongdoing was committed. Addressing a press conference in Agartala, Nadda claimed that Kejri wal was trying to divert the people’s attention from the alleged scam. “Whenever he is asked about the liquor scam and excise policy, he evades the questions. Sometimes Ke jriwal claims that the Central govern ment is trying to send his leaders to jail and sometimes he says AAP leaders are being harassed and sometimes he says something else,” Nadda said on Monday. Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has recommended a CBI probe into alleged corruption in the implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 while the AAP is claiming that he is “interfering” in the city government’s work. “You first answer the queries of the investigative agencies. All the ac cused after detention claims he or she is innocent, honest and clean. If you have not committed any wrongdoing and are honest, go to the court and prove your minister’s innocence,” Nadda said. Based on the LG’s rec ommendations, the CBI had registered an FIR in connection with the alleged irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi govern ment’s Excise Policy 2021-22. The agency has raided the resi dence of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds the excise portfolio and is an accused in the case.“Amassive scam has taken place in your government and the state has suffered a huge revenue loss. The press has already highlighted the liquor scam in detail. Why are you talking aimlessly? Stop talking aimlessly and make it clear why the treasure was stolen?” he added.

Gandhis, in two separate affidavits, submit ted no case was made out for the court to issue direc tion for registering an FIR against them and there was no requirement to order con stitution of a Special Investi gation Team (SIT) to probe the matter. No interference and the case of issuance of direction to register an FIR against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi is not made out and no interference is called for by this court to pass any order. The high court, while hearing a batch of petitions related to the 2020 riots in north-east Delhi, had on July 13 allowed several amendment applications wanting to implead political leaders, including Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, as parties to proceedings seeking FIR and investigation against them for allegedly delivering hate speeches leading to the communal conflagration.
On Monday, a bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Amit Sharma listed the matter for further hearing on September 27. In their affidavits filed in response to the petitions seeking FIR, Gandhis said to prevent a citizen from forming, holding, expressing a bonafide opinion in public interest on a bill passed by Parliament is not a reason able restriction and violates the basic principles on which our democracy is founded. “To prevent a citizen from expressing a bonafide opinion against any bill or law passed by the govern ment and putting it in the public domain to inform, generate a debate, build public opinion for reforms/ change is violative of our right to free speech,” the affidavits, filed through ad vocate Tarannum Cheema, said. It said, “Moreover, the respondent (Sonia Gandhi) as major leader of the op position is bound by the fundamental duty towards the citizens of the country, to call out and criticise the bills introduced by the rul ing government which are detrimental to the rights of the citizens.”Hatespeeches by po litical leaders during antiCAA protests were alleged to have fuelled the riots.

RANCHI, AUG 30 (PTI): The MLAs of the ruling UPA coalition in Jharkhand on Tuesday left Ranchi for neighbouring Chhattisgarh to stave off the BJP’s possi ble poaching attempt during the ongoing political crisis in the state.Achartered flight car rying about 40 MLAs took off from the Ranchi airport shortly after 4.30 pm to wards Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, sources said. The ruling coali tion has 49 MLAs in the 81-member Assembly. “This is not a surpris ing move. It happens in politics. We are ready to face any situation,” Chief Minister Hemant Soren told reporters after coming out of the airport. The legisla tors had started from Soren’s residence in two buses and Soren himself was on the front seat of one of them. He came out of the Birsa Munda Airport staying in side for some time. A Congress legislator, on condition of anonymity, said that they will be shifted to a resort in Raipur in Chhattisgarh, a state with a non-BJPSoren’sgovernment.JMMbelieves that the BJP may make a serious attempt to poach MLAs from it and from the Congress in a bid to topple the government in a man ner “similar to Maharash tra” and there is a need to ringfence the legislators in a “safe haven.”

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader is among the 15 people and entities named in an FIR registered by the agency in connection with alleged irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi government’s Excise PolicyThe2021-22.CBI was acting under pressure, Sisodia told reporters after the search was over.“Just like my home, they did not find anything in my lockers. Jewellery of about Rs 70,000-80,000 of my children, my wife...I am happy that I got a clean chit from the CBI in searches to day. They have found noth ing (incriminating) from searches of my locker or resi dence,” Sisodia told report ers here. The Delhi deputy chief minister said he was happy “the prime minister got my house searched but could not find anything”. “Today, he sent the CBI to get my locker searched but could not find anything. This is the proof that I and my family have come out clean in all the inquiries done by the prime minister. I have got a clean chit in all the probes done by the prime minister and not a single penny of questionable nature has been detected. I have full faith in my truth,” Sisodia said. He said all the CBI of ficers were cordial with him and his“Wefamily.also cooperated.

Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi NEW DELHI, AUG 30 (AGENCIES): Delhi is the most unsafe for senior citi zens among all metropolitan cities in India accounting for over 27 per cent of total crimes committed against people aged 60 years and above in these cities, accord ing to the latest NCRB data. Moreover, the national capital has also witnessed a 28.69 per cent surge in crime against senior citizens in 2021 as compared to the pre vious year with 1,166 cases registered by the police, the data of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) showed.In 2020, 906 crimes against senior citizens were reported in the national capital. The charge sheet rate in cases involving such people is also quite low in Delhi at 31.5 per cent. After Delhi, Mumbai also reported a high number of crimes against senior citizens (987). As many as 4,264 cases of various crimes against senior citi zens were reported in 19 metropolitan cities in 2021. Among the crimes against senior citizens, theft is the most common with 659 cases reported in Delhi in 2021, followed by cheat ing and fraud (153). In 2021, Delhi Police investigated 2,318 cases of crimes against senior citizens, out of which 1,152 were pending investigation from the previous year, NCRB data shows. The police disposed of 1,143 cases of crimes against such people in 2021, it added. Experts believe that higher reporting of such cases and zero sensitisation for the needs of elders might be the reasons for the higher crime rate against senior citizens in “DelhiDelhi.has a higher density of older people. Nearly 15 per cent of our population is older people. Moreover, police in the capital are quite active and sensitive about older people so there is higher reporting of crimes,” said Himanshu Rath, founder of Agewell Foundation.“However, there is zero sensitisation among people for the need of elders in society. Moreover, the pan demic might also lead to the rise in the abuse of the older people,” he added.

Why is there opposition to the proposed Electricity Amendment Bill?
Jesus Christ is saying here, “Don’t rejoice in your suc cessful service for Me, but rejoice because of your right re lationship with Me.” The trap you may fall into in Christian work is to rejoice in successful service— rejoicing in the fact that God has used you. Yet you will never be able to measure fully what God will do through you if you do not have a right-standing relationship with Jesus Christ. If you keep your relationship right with Him, then regardless of your circum stances or whoever you encounter each day, He will continue to pour “rivers of living water” through you (John 7:38). And it is actually by His mercy that He does not let you know it. Once you have the right relationship with God through salvation and sanctification, remember that whatever your circumstances may be, you have been placed in them by God. And God uses the reaction of your life to your circumstances to fulfill His purpose, as long as you continue to “walk in the light as He is in the light” (1 John 1:7). Our tendency today is to put the emphasis on service. Beware of the people who make their request for help on the basis of someone’s usefulness. If you make usefulness the test, then Jesus Christ was the greatest failure who ever lived. For the saint, direction and guidance come from God Himself, not some measure of that saint’s usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that counts, not what we do for Him. All that our Lord gives His attention to in a person’s life is that person’s relationship with God— something of great value to His Father. Jesus is “bringing many sons to glory…” (Hebrews 2:10). T he Ministry of Power in the latest Monsoon Session of Lok Sabha introduced the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2022 with an objective to transform the power sector, with a special focus on boosting the power distribution network in the country. However, the move did not go well with the opposition parties, as a ma jority of them vehemently opposedForcedit. by vocal op position to the Bill in the House, the federal govern ment sent the legislation to a Parliamentary Stand ing Committee for a better scrutiny of the Bill, before initiating a discussion on the same in the House. Po litical parties such as the Indian National Congress (INC), Trinamool Congress (TMC), the Communist Par ty of India-Marxist (CPM) and others, opposed the introduction of the Bill in the Lok Sabha citing threat to the powers of the states, a fear of an increased priva tisation of the power sector in the country. They also had apprehensions regard ing the subsidies given to farmers for electricity, being snatched away. The Bill aims to amend the principal Act – The Electricity Act, 2003, which governs the electricity business in India. Union Power Minis ter R.K. Singh, during the Lok Sabha session, denied several apprehensions of the rival parties calling it a “false propaganda”. He told the Lok Sabha, “The Bill does not mandate snatching any kind of subsidies for the farmers and the provi sion of allowing more than one distribution company (discom) in one area was already prescribed in The Electricity Act of 2003.” However, it’s not just the political parties that are against the controversial Bill, but also the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a coalition which had spearheaded the farmers protest following newly introduced farm laws in India in 2020-21. The coalition had also raised their apprehensions against provisions of the Bill. The All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) has also written to the government voicing their views about the provisions of the Bill. The power ministry in the ‘statement of object’ of the legislation claimed that the legislation was meant to boost the competition and efficiency of power distribu tion companies in order to enhance non-discriminatory open access, so that the services given to consumers are improved and the power sector becomes sustainable. The most controversial reform the Bill tries to im pose, is the provision of al lowing more than one power distribution company in one region which could lead to the end of monopoly of one power network in one area. It also mandates several changes in the powers of the State Electricity Regula tory Commissions (SERC) in terms of regulating the power tariffs in the coun try, gives the SERC powers equivalent to a civil court. The new Bill also attempts to remove the punishment of jail term in case of defi ance of rules made under the Bill, and in the case of offences like power theft, but keeps the provision of fines with an increased amount going up to Rs 1 crore per offence. The discom dilemma While the new Bill pro poses 35 amendments to the massive 84-page Electricity Act of 2003, one provi sion that stands out is Sec tion 5 of the Bill which is about allowing more than one distribution licensee (or discom) in one region to distribute power to the consumers. Although the provision of allowing more than one discom in one area was also mentioned in the 2003 Act, as per the old law the new discom had to have its own wire and dis tribution infrastructure. The new Bill, however, envisages a regime where the new entrant can use the distri bution infrastructure of the existing discom by paying some charges like wheeling charge and others. Opposi tion parties and others see this as an alleged attempt to boost privatisation in the power distribution business with this Somitprovision.Dasgupta, a senior visiting fellow at the International Council for Research on Interna tional Economic Relations (ICRIER) told MongabayIndia, “The most distinctive feature of the bill under consideration is the con cept of multiple distribution licensees in each geographi cal area. While there can be multiple distribution li censees, the distribution wires of only one of the licensees will be used. The concept of having multiple licensees in one area is not a workable proposition in India where we have large scale cross-subsidy, huge commercial losses etc. The central government is well within its rights to suggest something as a matter of policy since ‘power’ is a concurrent subject, but the problem is that it is not vi able,” Dasgupta elaborated. “What is more mys tifying is that in case an applicant applies for a distri bution license in more than one state, the license will be granted by the CERC and not the SERCs. CERC actu ally has nothing to do with the subject of distribution,” he continued.Healso claimed that as around 80 percent of the costs incurred by discoms are in purchasing powers from power generating com panies, the consumers are not likely to get any great benefits in a case of avail ability of more than one discom competing with each other. Can multiple discoms help meet the losses? The concept of co-exis tence of multiple discoms in a single area is not alien to India. In Mumbai, there ex isted a model in which two discoms operated together. However, it was mired in several litigation processes and experts do not cite this as a success Ashwanimodel.Ghayal Chit nis, Senior Advisor, Legal Initiative for Forest and Environment (LIFE) cited the Mumbai case and said that multiple players can not be linked to lowered costs. “There is no data to support the assumption that simply having multiple privately owned distribution companies will lead to cost improvements. The success of the proposed changes will depend on parameters such as: how the area of supply is defined, what would be the basis for determining the floor and ceiling tariffs, would there be regulatory certainty for cost recovery for all distribution licensees, who will invest in network augmentation, and so on. However, these absolutely crucial details are not part of the proposed bill and will be defined later on by the central government through rules,” she told MongabayIndia.She also added that this kind of opaque process does not bode well for creating a transparent and level playing field, which is a pre-requisite for healthy competition. “Also, there is no effort to improve and strengthen consumer participation and public accountability of the regulatory commissions. Issues with the current sys tem such as, lack of access for a common consumer to approach the fora such as the Appellate Tribunal For Electricity (APTEL) or CERC, remain unad dressed,” she said. A study report by Chit nis and Saumya Vaishnava, on the Mumbai model of multiple discoms earlier had claimed that although the cables were underground and saw less losses the com petition in terms of distri bution was not very much significant, as the consumers who wanted to transit had to pay heavy regulatory charges which proved as a deterrent.A2021 report of the NITI Aayog also claimed that in several parts of India, the presence of private play ers in distribution networks is significant in cities like Delhi, Surat, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Mumbai which also saw reduction of distri bution losses. But the report also cited the example of Odisha, where four discoms were privatised in 1999, but they could not help in improving the distribution system or reduce losses while one private discom even abandoned the attempt leading to its de-licencing.

Other reasons for crit icism of amendments The Bill also suggests that the central government can give directions to the SERCs directly, bypassing the states, which is another reason for opposing, added Dasgupta. “Further, the composition of the selec tion committee for appoint ing the Chairman and the members of the SERCs, has been altered somewhat. Currently what happens is that the Central government provides direction to the CERC, and the states give directions to the SERC. But the Bill proposes that, now the Centre can give direc tions to the SERC directly, which the states are likely to oppose,” he explained.
“The government is comparing electricity dis tribution infrastructure with that of telecom distribution. While telecom works on air waves, electricity is supplied with huge infrastructure with wires, transformers, and others. The Bill will not give equal playing op portunity to the government discoms and private players because while the onus is on the government discoms to reach out to all sets of con sumers, the private players would be allowed to use our infrastructure,” Dubey told Mongabay-India.“So,withthis Bill, the government units are likely to face the brunt of invest ing in all areas without dis criminations, private units will have the advantage of choosing their area of their choice without any infrastructure of their own. In such a situation, the gov ernment discoms of today would become the BSNL of tomorrow,” said Dubey. Discom health and RPO obligations Discoms in India are often seen incurring losses in their power distribu tion business which has remained a major chal lenge for decades, yet to be resolved despite several reforms. According to the government data, discoms owe around Rs 1.1 lakh crore to the power generat ing companies.ThenewBill mandates that the discoms would be liable to comply with Renewable Purchase Obli gations (RPOs) otherwise they would be forced to pay penalties.RPOs refer to the man date given to discoms, to purchase a portion of their total power through renew able sources of energy. Ex perts working in the energy sector claimed that this could lead to increased use of clean energy but there are still several challenges in this pathway too.
T here have always been untold storiesthe stories of suffer ing, heroics, valor, courage, determination, inspiration, struggle, martyrdom, de feats and victories remain buried in the unknown, largely ignored, silent, invis ible corners of the world. The northeast region of In dia that comprises the State of Nagaland, Manipur, As sam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura and Sikkim is a rich reser voir of stories of patriotism, unity and national spirit which unfortunately could not become a part of the mainstream academic as well as cultural narratives. Not too many people from outside the region would know about Haipou Jadonang, the Rongmei Naga leader, social re former, political & spiritual leader from present-day Ma nipur who fought valiantly against the British Raj in pre-Independence India. The spiritual leader and po litical activist envisaged an independent Naga kingdom or ‘Naga Raj’ that brought him in direct conflict with the then British rulers of India. He was eventually hanged on August 29 in 1931. Haipou Jadonang was a man who built a strong army of 500 to take on the British and set up a Naga kingdom. He has been largely overlooked by writers and historians. It’s time to put his story in right perspective.Hisfamous slogan “Makaam Mei Rui Gwang Tu Puni” which means “The sons of soil will reign”has been an inspiration to all indigenous people in the northeast India. Jadonang was one of the first Nagas to claim to be the ‘Messiah King’ of the Nagas and strove to liberate his people from British rule. Playing the role of a God-King, he became popular for his prophesies, healing power, religious and social activi ties. He organised his people into an effective resistance against British rule. His movement popu larly called the Naga Raj movement spreading like wildfire in no time and engulfed the whole Ze liangrong areas and the neighbouring areas. Haipou Jadonang was distantly in spired by Mahatma Gandhi and the Congress Movement for national freedom as evi dent from the writings of the Political Agent Higgins that he had a suspicion based on information received from his sub-divisional officer in the North Cachar Hills Dis trict that Haipou Jadonang was, whether directly or indirectly, coming under the growing influence of the Indian National Congress. It may be recalled that before launching his po litical movement Haipou Jadonang first saw the rising proliferation of Christianity. He felt this was an instru ment of British imperialism. In the areas in and around present-day Tamenglong and Noney districts, the British had asserted control by then, posting officials to oversee ZeliangrongducedreligiousGangmumeirenownedreligion.practicesthethetocourageoustwenties,thoughHaipouanofhighimposedisheconomicOfbeliefs,toregionBritishtheAccordingadministration.toJadonang,conversioneffortsofmissionariesintheposedaseriousthreatindigenousNagafaith,customsandsociety.course,therewerethecoststhatBritimperialismhadalsoontheNagaswithtaxes,theintroductionunjustcoloniallawandoppressiveportersystem.Jadonang,evenhewasinhisearlyayoungman,tookandboldstepsgoagainsttheeldersincommunitytoreformirrelevantsuperstitiousofthetraditionalAccordingtoascholarProf.Kamei,thereformheintrointhetraditionalsocietywas
Usefulness or Relationship?
“The Bill also talks about boostin g clean en ergy by ensuring manda tory RPO compliance by discoms. This provision is likely to force the discoms to buy clean energy at a higher cost. In such a situation how, these companies will ensure compliance is a question to discuss and needs special attention.Usually, the discoms tend to pass on such extra burden on the consumers. We have to see how the consumers would be af fected by such actions,” said Tirthankar Mandal, Head of Energy Policy at the World Resources Institute (WRI), India.Mandal, however, add ed that the Bill needs a wider consultation, to address the bigger and fundamental questions around power distribution.

It is also hoped that the state government will also intervene in issues where NFR has ‘hijacked’ trains such as Jan Shatabdi and even Nagaland Express from Dimapur to Assam and also press for providing demand for more ticket quotas for Dimapur.

Post-mortem OPINION/EDITORIAL6 Nagaland Post VOL. XXXII NO. 266 DIMAPUR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2022 NAGALAND POST, DIMAPUR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2022
a synthesis of Christian monotheism and Hindu idolatry and Temple culture, rationalized and simplified form of a religious worship and a political ideology of a kingdom. It is worth noting that socially he wanted to unite all his kindred groups of Zemei, Liangmei, Rong mei and Puimei and lay the foundation for Zeliangrong movement as a social and political entity which gradu ally evolved as a strong political voice in the region. As has been men tioned, as a social and spiri tual leader his reforming activity began by preaching the unity of God, Haipou Ragwang and later on it was directed against the social abuses of the Zeliangrong society. He worked hard to remove the blind supersti tions, prejudices, orthodox ideas and beliefs and also for the abolition of certain social taboos and gennas. In short, the Heraka movement of Haipou Jadonang was launched to eliminate the evils that crept in his own religion and society and to save the religion in par ticular from the onslaughts of the alien religion. As regards the political aim of his movement, Haipou Jadonang appealed to all the Nagas to forget about the past hatred, history of savage internecine warfare, inter-village feuds and com munalism and unite against the foreigners and their exploitation to achieve it. It may also be mentioned that Haipou Jadonang was living in very challenging times. Mainly three kinds of challenges faced him. The first chal lenge was the prevailing so cial and religious conditions - Zeliangrong superstitions, beliefs, orthodox ideas and practices. The second chal lenge was the atrocities of the British colonialism. The third challenge was the in trusion of the Kukis during their rebellion against the British rule. Jadonang be lieved that taking advantage of the situation, the Kukis armed with firearms/power were ruthlessly exploiting, suppressing and killing many Nagas including the Zeliangrongs during their armed rebellion against the BritishThisrule.belief was so to say backed by what Robert Reid had written that in the year 1930-31, occurred the unrest connected with the rise of Haipou Jadonang who started a new reli gion and induced the su perstitious Zeliangrongs to believe that he would overthrow the existing ad ministration and enable them to take on the Kukis. John Parratt also mentioned in his book that the Kuki Rebellion has resulted in ethnic violence in which Kabui Nagas in particular suffered severely. This vio lence thus remained in Naga memory as a bitter scar for another decade and hence became one of the main factors behind the Jadonang movement.Itmay be clearly mentioned that Haipou Jadonang wanted to drive out all the Britishers and set up the Naga kingdom. Perhaps his refusal to ac cept the British suzerainty had caused a great hostility between him and the Brit ish authority. By the end of 1927, his movement had become such an irritation to the British Administra tion in Manipur that it had decided to arrest Jadonang and bring him in for serious questioning.Asplanned, the Brit ish authority arrested him and on 29th August, 1931 hanged him on false accusa tion, nipping his movement in the bud. The Zelian grongs, and other Nagas, the people of Manipur re gion and India have lost a great freedom fighter, an inspiring figure and a promising leader whose real intention was to end the British colonial rule and establish “SWARAJ”. It is certain that if he had lived, the story of his movement would be a different one.

One of the main reasons why Dimapur Rail way Station, among the oldest railway sta tions in the north east, continues to be in a state of stagnation, is because of unauthorised occupation of lands belonging to the railways and a step-motherly attitude shown by the Northeasten Frontier Railways(NFR). Shrinking land at Dimapur railway station is the chief reason for the stagnated expansion and development. Nagaland Post has been highlighting the problems through a series of reports during the past decades. This is the reason why a double track could not be constructed through Dimapur and as a consequence, it continues to be a bottleneck against expansion and development. A double-track would have enabled trains to run in both directions and shortening mandatory stops for slower trains. Since the track from Dhansiri-Bokajan via Dimapur is still a single lane track, some trains have to schedule longer at certain stations to allow express trains to pass. Consequently, due to this problem many trains do not stop long enough at Dimapur. Even the Jan Shatabdi express has a stoppage of hardly ten minutes at Dimapur. Other trains also stop for hardly the same period. It may be recalled that the Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO), NFR Lumding Division, Sabyasachi De, told Nagaland Post recently that around 30.283 hectares out of 53.806 hectares of railway lands have been under unauthorised occupation in Dima pur. The CPRO claimed that the NFR has not been getting positive response from the government of Nagaland and the Dimapur district authorities to evict illegal encroachers. The other problem is that court cases have been dragging on for decades without any end in sight. Nagaland Post had also highlighted the consequences due to the twin problems- stagnation of development and also the step-motherly attitude shown to Dimapur by the NFR. Dimapur railway station has been earning the second highest revenue under NFR but owing to the land issues which have halted expansion and also giving NFR an alibi to look at other options, the train travellers of the state are made to bear the brunt. The most reassuring statement in recent times came when current General Manager(NFR) Anshul Gupta told media on August 26 that NFR will implement the Supreme Court order on December 16,2021 that the Indian Railways is “equally respon sible” for ensuring that there is no encroachment on its properties and it must initiate action against unauthorised occupants immediately after the issue is brought to its notice. Gupta said Dimapur railway station is no exception to the Supreme Court order when asked about unauthorised occupants, most of who have been issued with land pattas(permits) by the Dimapur district authorities in the past. Asked to comment even on some religious structures at the railway station, Gupta said the same Supreme Court order will apply after due process is followed. The ball is in the state government’s court and it now has to show political will to free the encroached lands. This will serve to facilitate expansion and development of the railway station for the benefit of the state in terms of trade, travel and tourism.

Jawhar Sircar is free to leave the party: TMC MP KOLKATA, AUG 30 (PTI): Senior TMC leader Sougata Roy Tuesday said Jawhar Sircar, who has criti cised the corruption within the party, is free to leave as it does not need “selfish people at the time of crisis”. Sircar, he said, should stop “attaching too much importance to his views” and Trinamool Congress should immediately initiate disciplinary action against him for violating party dis cipline. “If he (Sircar) is so embarrassed by the develop ments, then why is he still holding on to his post? He should immediately resign from his post of (Rajya Sabha) MP. He is free to leave the party, it won’t have any impact. People like Jawhar Sircar had no role in TMC’s struggle or in its fight in the last Bengal Assembly polls,” Roy said. Sircar had said on Monday that a sec tion of TMC is “completely rotten” and that BJP cannot be fought in the 2024 general election with such elements.

UDAIPUR, AUG 30 (IANS): India is no longer weak and has become the most powerful country in the world, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said here on SpeakingTuesday.afterunveiling a statue of Panna Dai, a 16th-century nurse maid, the Defence Minister also said that the Russia-Ukraine war was stopped for a few hours at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and hence the government could bring back over 22,000 Indian students from the war-torn region. “Such an incident will never be repeated in the future,” he said after unveiling the 9.6 feet tall statue. Panna Dai is known sacrificing her son to safeguard the future of Mewar in Rajasthan. When Mewar scion Udai Singh was left in her care after Rani Karnavati committed ‘Jauhar’ in 1535, he was attacked by his uncle Banvir. It was Panna Dai who sacrificed her own son’s life to save UdaiSpeakingSingh. on the occasion, Rajnath Singh said, “I consider myself lucky to have unveiled this statue. The story of Panna Dai’s sacrifice is known to all. I was also touched by her bravery and valour.” “India has not invaded any country till date, nor has it occupied any place. However, if someone looks at our country with an evil eye, we give a befitting reply,” he added. Speaking about the country’s armed forces, the Defnce Minister said, “We will soon stop buying arms and ammunition from other countries, as everything will be manufactured in India. Presently, we are selling weapons worth Rs 13,000 crore. Eight years ago, this figure was only Rs 900 crore. By 2047, it will go up to Rs 2.75 lakh crore.” “’Amrit Kaal’ is ending in 2047, which will take another 25 years. By 2047, India will become a ‘Vishwaguru’,” he added.

He said the party members were demanding a discussion on the liquor and education “scams”, but the deputy speaker not only ignored their demands, but also got them marshalled out of the House.“BJP members had given notices for discussion on liquor scam and educa tion scam in the house even today. No explanation has come from the government till now on the liquor scam of thousands of crores,” he said. The Delhi government kept the CVC report on hold for two and a half years, de spite it clearly stating about a scam in the construction of classrooms. “The Ke jriwal government is run ning away from discussion on both these issues. The MLAs of the ruling party continued to create hue and cry in the well of the House, but it is unfortunate that the BJP members were thrown out to suppress their voice. “The Kejriwal govern ment has no answer to these allegations, so they are not tolerating the opposition even in the House,” he said. Bidhuri said the MLAs will sit on a night-long pro test for the second consecu tive day near the statues of Chandrshekhar Azad, Bha gat Singh and Rajguru in the Assembly premises to demand a probe into various scams by the government ranging from the liquor to the DTC to the Jal Board scam.Bidhuri said they have already written to President Droupadi Murmu over their “voices being throttled in Delhi Assembly” and have sought an appointment with her. Earlier in the day, BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri had come to meet the party’s eight MLAs who sat on a night-long protest but was stopped at the gate.

NEW DELHI, AUG 30 (AGENCIES): Not long ago, a spate of killings, attacks, and threats in the name of religion follow ing the Nupur Sharma episode had India on the edge.

NEW DELHI, AUG 30 (PTI): The Congress Tues day questioned the timing of Ghulam Nabi Azad’s letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi attacking the lead ership and asked why this “divine knowledge” did not dawn upon him before 2021 “when his seat and bunga low wereNowsafe”.thatAzad’s Rajya Sabha seat and his Delhi bungalow are not safe, “di vine knowledge has dawned upon him and he is writing five-page letters in British English”, Congress spokes person Gourav V allabh said. “Whoever resigns from the party, writes fivepage letters. Going by the English used in the letter, it seems some Britisher has written that. But the ques tion is why did this divine knowledge not come to you before 2021? All answers lie in that,” he told reporters Asked about Azad’s attacks on the Congress leadership while severing five-decade-long ties with the party, Vallabh said, “The divine knowledge which was attained today, why was that not attained before 2021? Because before 2021 your seat was secure and your bungalow was safe. “When there was a crisis on the seat and the bungalow, divine knowl edge dawned on you and now you are writing big letters,” he said. The Congress spokes person said writing a letter is very easy for educated people but asked what is the meaning of that. “Why was that letter not written before 2021? This question has the an swer to all your questions. But keep in mind, whatever they do, there will be a his toric rally on September 4 at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan and questions will be asked about why GST was im posed on flour. We will not leave that,” he said. To a question about Rahul Gandhi, Vallabh said on September 4, the party is organising a “Halla Bol rally” against inflation and one would have to walk 25 km daily for 150 days from September 7 covering more than 3,500 km. “For 150 days, Rahul Gandhi Ji will walk in the Bharat Jodo Yatra to con nect the country. He will walk to raise the issues of the country. I have given his schedule of the next five months to Azad ‘Sa heb’ through you,” he told reportersAbout the Congress president election, the par ty’s national spokesperson said the election schedule mentioning the dates for filing nomination, polling and counting has been an nounced.“So, if anybody wants to contest, the dates are there. The Congress has a constitution and the entire timetable has been placed before you,” Vallabh said. In a fresh attack on the Congress, former leader Gh ulam Nabi Azad Monday said the “ailing” party needs medicines which are being provided by compounders instead of doctors.

PENGHU (TAIWAN), AUG 30 (AP): Taiwan’s president told the self-ruled island’s military units Tues day to keep their cool in the face of daily warplane flights and warship maneu vers by rival China, saying that Taiwan will not allow Beijing to provoke a conflict. China has kept up mili tary pressure on Taiwan in the weeks following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pe losi’s visit to Taipei in early August.Beijing initially retali ated with large military drills in the waters and skies near ItTaiwan.fired missiles over the island, some of which landed in Japan’s economic zone, considered a serious escalation, while also send ing warships and planes toward the island in large numbers.President Tsai Ing-wen said Taiwan must remain restrained despite the daily pressure from China.
Taiwan has responded by tracking the ships and the planes, issued warnings and used its missile systems to monitor the other side’s movements.China has also sent drones flying over the Kin men islands, which are clos est to China, in the latest escalation.Avideo that went viral last week showed two sol diers staring up at the drone from an outpost in an outly ing island in Kinmen before attempting to strike it down with a rock. This weekend, another video published online allegedly showed a Chinese drone flying around a different outlying island. A spokesperson for Kinmen’s army unit said in a statement Monday that Tai wan would take a four-step measure to deal with drones in the future, which involves warning it off, reporting the incursion, expelling the drone, and finally shooting it down if it doesn’t leave.
UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths made the remarksat a UN Secu rity Council meeting on the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, reports dpa news agency. More than half of the country’s popu lation needs humanitarian assistance, Griffiths said. With the Taliban’s re turn to power on August 2021, the country’s situation has further deteriorated. Un employment and extreme poverty have forced tens of thousands of Afghans to flee their country. In addition, a devastating earthquake and flash floods have com pounded the situation. The international com munity is pumping roughly $40 million into the coun try’s economy each week. But there are com plaints that the Taliban is allocating the majority of the money to its supporters. “Poverty is deepening, the population is still grow ing, and the de facto au thorities have no budget to invest in their own future,” Griffiths said.

The death toll rose to at least 30 people after two days of unrest, officials said. After cleric Muqtada al-Sadr announced Mon day he would resign from politics, his supporters stormed the Green Zone, once the stronghold of the U.S. military that’s now home to Iraqi government offices and foreign embas sies. At least one coun try evacuated its embassy amid the Iraq’schaos.government has been deadlocked since al-Sadr’s party won the largest share of seats in October parliamentary elections but not enough to secure a majority gov ernment — unleashing months of infighting be tween different Shiite fac tions. Al-Sadr refused to negotiate with his Iranbacked Shiite rivals, and his withdrawal Monday catapulted Iraq into politi cal uncertainty and volatil ity with no clear path out. Iran closed its bor ders to Iraq on Tuesday — a sign of Tehran’s con cern that the chaos could spread, though streets be yond the capital’s gov ernment quarter largely remained calm.

Endometriosis is a condition in which lining tissue of the uterus tissue grows in other locations of the body outside of the uterus. The extra tissue may infringe upon other organs like the bowel and bladder. This is called deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Blue-eyed women are more likely to develop DIE than women who have eyes of any other color. Researchers think genes that govern eye color may be linked to those responsible for DIE. Response to Therapy Can your eye color determine how well psycho therapy works for you? Maybe. One study found that people who have brown eyes achieve better treatment results from behavior therapy that is more rigid. People who have light-colored eyes may do better with therapy that changes with them at a pace that is comfortable for them. Unequal Pupil Dilation Anisocoria is a term that means the pupils are not the same size. About 1 in 5 of people have pupils that differ in size. Sometimes it is no cause for concern. Other times, different sized pupils may be a sign of something more serious like a problem with the nervous system, the presence of an infection, or a stroke. Vitiligo Vitiligo is a condition that creates loss of pigment in patches on the skin. People who have blue eyes are less likely to get vitiligo than those who have brown eyes. Researchers think it may be because genes responsible for blue eyes are linked to decreased risk of getting the condition.
T here’s a type of cancer that affects the eyes called uveal melanoma. It is more common in those who have green, blue, or gray eyes than it is in people who have brown-colored eyes. The risk of this type of eye cancer is very low. It affects approximately 2,500 people in the U.S. every year. Trustworthiness

cataracts than those who have blue eyes. People with brown eyes are twice as likely to get cataracts as those who have lighter-colored eyes. Scholastic Achievement Larger pupils may be a sign of high intelligence, according to the results of some studies. Larger rest ing pupil size may indicate a brain that functions well.
Eye Health: How eye color and shape can affect your health
Multicolored Eyes Eyes that contain multiple colors may be a sign of Waardenburg syndrome. This is a rare genetic condition that causes loss of pigment in the hair, eyes, and skin. People who have this condition may go deaf or have distinct facial features such as a wide-bridged nose or wide-set eyes. Athletic Ability Eye color may be linked to athletic ability. People who have brown eyes may excel in sports that require a reaction, such as football defense, boxing, and hitting a ball. Those who have blue eyes may excel in sports that require constant control, such as golfing, bowling, and pitching a baseball. Tolerance to Pain Scientists observed women in labor to determine the link between eye color and pain tolerance. They noticed women with brown eyes showed more distress during labor. They also felt more pain while moving and at rest, they woke experiencing pain more often, and experienced more depression due to pain compared to women with light-colored eyes. Macular Degeneration People who have light-colored eyes are twice as likely to develop age-related macular degeneration compared to those who have brown eyes. Light-colored eyes allow more UV light reach the retina where it causes damage. Macular degeneration may lead to a loss of vision.

In one study, scientists found that people trust those who have brown eyes more than those who have eyes of another color. Researchers note the findings may be explained by facial features common in those who have brown eyes, which may convey trust. Type 1 Diabetes Risk A study from 2011 found that Caucasian people living in Italy who had blue eyes were more likely to develop type 1 diabetes. More research is needed to confirm the results. A prior study in northern European Caucasian people also concluded that blue eyes and fair-colored skin increase the risk for type 1 diabetes.
Hearing Loss Exposure to loud noise harms hearing, especially for those who have blue eyes. People who have brown eyes seem to be better protected. Researchers think it may be because brown-eyed people have more melanin that protects the ears against loud noises. Alcohol Dependence
