BJP prepared to walk out of DAN Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): Following the unceremonious sacking of BJP legislator, Mmhonlumo Kikon as parliamentary secretary of Labour and Employment and Skill Development, uncertainty looms over the 13-year old NPF-BJP alliance-Democratic Alliance of Nagaland.

Furious at the shabby treatment meted to its party legislator, BJP members at a general meeting held in the head office here Monday, expressed strong resentment at the unilateral and arbitrary decision of chief minister T.R. Zeliang in sacking the BJP legislator.

It was also disclosed that irate party members were prepared to walk out of the DAN alliance.

Though this sentiment dominated the meeting, the party leaders however assuaged the ruffled feelings by reminding members that since the North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) is spearheaded by BJP and of which, NPF is also part of the non-Congress entity, the state unit would opt for

reviewing its alliance with DAN instead of walking out immediately.

In the statement, Yanghose also rebuffed the statement of BJP national ST morcha vice president, Johnny Rengma that appeared in a section of the local press wherein he was quoted saying that it well within the prerogative of the chief minister to sack the BJP legislator.

Yanghose said Johny’s remarks were “non-official and unauthorized and the party shall not be held responsible” and added that it was purely his opinion and not the party’s.

M e a n w h i l e, B J P sources told Nagaland Post that Kikon’s dismissal was not only shocking but also a slap on the face for the BJP. BJP party source said though it was the prerogative to appoint and dismiss members of the cabinet and government yet it should follow the proper procedure, protocol and spirit of the alliance.

They pointed out that Kikon was sacked without the consent of the party nor was there a discussion or approval of the DAN Coor-

dination Committee.

“If there were any shortfalls on his part or on the part of the BJP, then it should have been discussed thoroughly before taking such an extreme step,” a senior BJP member stated.

However, if his sacking was related to the PIL filed by Lotha Hoho, as reported, sources said the CMO should have been well aware that once a PIL is filed and admitted it cannot be withdrawn till the matter reaches its logical conclusion.

The Supreme Court on January 15, 2016 said once a PIL is filed and heard, it cannot be allowed to be withdrawn. The apex court was hearing a lawyer’s plea that he was getting threats for filing a PIL seeking entry of girls and women in the historic Sabarimala temple in Kerala.

“Let people know this that once a public interest litigation (PIL) is filed and entertained, you cannot withdraw it,” a bench of Justices Dipak Misra and N V Ramana said.

BJP sources said: “The fact needs to be recorded that a legislator doesn’t

ACAUT hits out at No civic polls without amendment F&CS department to Municipal Act 2001: Ao Senden DIAMPUR, OCT 31

(NPN): ACAUT Nagaland has expressed dismay that the Food & Civil Supplies (F&CS) department has ignored their appeal to cancel and rectify the tender called to transport PDS under NFSA covering entire block of Nagaland even after pointing out anomalies and procedural flaw in the NIT. In a press note, ACAUT media cell alleged that the director, as the NIT calling authority, “went ahead with total disregard to the rules and procedure and bended rules to protect those cronies and syndicates by adding a clause under terms and condition which was neither listed in the tender document nor in the NIT”.

ACAUT alleged that the clause signed by the director, was made known to the participants inside the tender opening hall, which reads as-- “After opening of tender, no complain shall be entertained”. This clause was an attempt to manipulate foolproof, ACAUT said.

It reminded the department that “in a democracy where manipulation, favoritism and anomaly is found the participant has every right for disapproval and lodge a complaint and if need can even go to court for redressal”.

DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): Ao Senden has highlighted clauses contained in the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 which went against the constitutional protection accorded by the Constitution of India on ownership of land and resources and infringement on Naga social custom and usages by granting 33% reservation of seats in civic bodies to women.

Ao Senden in a memorandum addressed to the chief minister of Nagaland, has therefore demanded that amendment be made to the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 by deletion of section 120(1)(a) of the Municipal Act 2001 dealing with “tax on land and building” as it would “snatch away ownership of land and building from the Nagas” within areas covered

carry their respective tribal hoho’s in their pockets.”

This is definitely not the way to treat an alliance partner, which is also a national party and is leading the country under the dynamic and visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi, sources said, while condemning the NPF and its leadership of trying to out-muscle the BJP in an autocratic manner and embarrassing the party.

Sources said Kikon was not informed about the decision, but came to know of his removal only through WhatsApp and social networking sites as the letter that went viral.

Kikon at the time was in Arunachal Pradesh attending a regional conclave with national and international leaders.

The chief minister nor the DAN chairman had the courtesy to inform the elected member, the party sources said.

The sentiments of the state party unit would be conveyed to the central party after which the latter would take the final call on whether to continue or discontinue with the alliance.

KO H I M A , O C T 3 1 (NPN): Clad in colourful traditional attires, hundreds of people from Zeliangrong community celebrated Chaga Gadi/Lamsimnyi festival at NSF Solidarity Park, Kohima with pomp and gaiety, organized by Zeliangrong Baudi on Monday.

Nagaland governor P.B Acharya graced the celebration as chief guest while chief minister T.R Zeliang was the host of the occasion.

In his address, Acharya asserted that festivals were not only for entertainment but a gift from ancestors, to strengthen family and social ties and to thank God for the bountiful blessings.

He also stressed on the importance of preserving one’s identity by ensuring that mother tongue was not ignored, saying “a person was known by his or her language which one cannot change”.

Reiterating that Nagas’ rich culture was even recognized outside the state, the governor called upon the Nagas to exhibit the rich (Cont’d on p-5) culture and show to the

On the yearning for peace by the Naga people, Acharya said that Prime Minister has taken a bold step on the UG’s movement to solve the Naga issue. He therefore, reiterated his appeal to the UGs to come together saying “enough is enough” as Nagas wants peace and development.

He also expressed con-

Talks with Centre likely by March 2017: Mulatonu KEHOI/DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): Convenor National Political Advisory Council (NPAC) and senior kilonser GPRN/NSCN Kughalu Mulatonu Monday informed that talks between Government of India (GoI) and GPRN/NSCN are on the cards and likely to start

by March next.

He was briefing media persons on the sidelines of the ongoing Ato Area Sports Association sports meet at Kehoi Village where he was the chief guest in the opening ceremony. The NPAC convenor informed that top leaders of the GPRN/ NSCN were in Delhi lobbying for formal talks between the two entities adding that till such time the GPRN/ NSCN will be doing their homework in consultation with all stakeholders.

During the briefing, Mulatonu dwelled on vari-

cent development of the Naga political issue and the framework agreement signed between NSCN (I-M) and GoI in August last.

Mulatonu along with NPAC members said that the GPRN/NSCN NPAC had held at least 18 rounds of meetings with civil societies, NGOs, tribal bodies/ hohos with all the “tribes of Nagaland” (indigenous) including Gorkhas.

On the reason behind the existence of NPAC, Mulatonu maintained GPRN/ NSCN was “compelled” to find solution for the “Nagas of Nagaland.”

He explained how NSCN (K) has confined its political ambition to Myanmar, NSCN (I-M) to Manipur, thereby necessitating the existence of NPAC to represent the aspirations of the Nagas of Nagaland.

He also dismissed the August 3 framework agree-

that the agreement has nothing for the Nagas of Nagaland. “We will not restrict anybody but we will not allow any ‘stranger’ to decide the fate of Nagas of Nagaland when we are there,” Mulatonu asserted adding there was no dearth of capable “sons of the soil.”

When asked about the objective of the GPRN/ NSCN when it sits with GoI, the kilonser stated “sovereignty” will be the basis as that has always been the demand of the Nagas.

“Hundreds of talks in last twenty years between the NSCN I-M have miserably failed and the losses are at the expense of the son of the soils ie Nagas of Nagaland,” rued one NPAC member while asserting that the GPRN/NSCN will consult every stakeholder in a “transparent” manner prior to talks. “The talks will be based on Sovereignty and

148 members from various NPGs join NSCN (I-M) Mon district hospital doctors, staffs protest

DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): NSCN (I-M) has informed that 148 members from different Naga political groups (NPGs) “who stayed astray have now decided to join the revolutionary mainstream where it lies the future of the Nagas.”

(Cont’d on p-5) In a press release, MIP stated that the joint council of NSCN/GPRN consisting of steering executives, cabinet kilonsers, deputy kilonsers and heads of department welcomed them and appreciated the “bold decision” they have taken keeping in mind the aspirations of the Nagas.

According to MIP, GDRN/NNC (Non-Accordist), Ato Kilonser, Hangping Zeliang, speaking on behalf of the group, said that “It’s the people need of demand for oneness which “Times have changed.

Ao Senden president Imolemba Jamir and general secretary S.Panger Ao also pointed out that under various clauses of sections 120/123/144/182/194 in the said Act, would eventually render Nagas as landless/slave in their own land.

Ao Senden said this apprehension was contained in the memorandum submitted by Naga leaders to the Simon Commission in 1929.

Ao Senden also pointed out that the Municipal Act 2001 was passed by the 60 legislators elected by the Naga people despite the fact that the government of India protected Naga ownership and transfer of land as per Article 371A. Therefore, Ao Senden said, the Municipal Act 2001 was contradictory to the constitution. (Full text on p-6)

MIP said NSCN (U) deputy kilonser, Hotovi Awomi, begged for forgiveness from the Nagas for “wandering in the wrong direction.” According to MIP, he said that the NSCN(U) did not represent the Nagas “as it was a fruitless organization. Therefore, they decided to come together morally and physically.”

Exhorting the gathering, NSNC (I-M) kilo kilonser, Rh. Raising, stated that “salvation of the Nagas lies with the NSCN and it’s the only true way to our destination.” He also urged the “home comers to re-dedicate themselves and to possess a revolutionary spirit.”

MON, OCT 31 (NPN): With no visible action taken by the law enforcing agencies till date over the October 27, 2016 incident, wherein some doctors and staffs on duty were allegedly abused and threatened by a group of youth, the doctors and staffs of district hospital Mon on Monday started their phase-I agitation by wearing black badge.

Narrating the incident, the doctors said that on October 27 night, a group of youth had brought one injured youth with deep cut wound on his forearm to the hospital. As soon as they entered the hospital premises, the doctors said the youths started abusing and even threatened the doctor, nurse and staffs on duty at the emergency room without any rhyme or reason. Despite

such harassment, the hospital staff said, sensing the severity of the wound, they decided to shift the injured patient to the operation theatre (OT).

Even in the operation theatre, the doctors lamented they were not spared.

Even after repeated appeals not to enter the OT, the youths forcefully kicked open the door and entered the OT with their shoes on and started to abuse and threatened the doctors and nurses.

The youths also ransacked the emergency room. It was learnt that after a meeting on October 30, 2016, the doctors and staffs of the district hospital Mon had submitted a representation to the deputy commissioner Mon. Meanwhile, according to source, the doctors and staffs were likely to continue with their protest and may even go to the extent of taking mass casual leave.

(NPN): Nagaland Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Teachers’s Association (NSSATA) on Monday announced that it would launch its phase-II agitation from November 1, 2016. In a press release, NSSATA president, Aliba Sangtam, and general secretary, Thungchamo Lotha, stated that NSSATA 2010 & 2013 batches consisting of around 2600 teachers, as a display of resentment against the government, would resort to sit-in protest through peaceful means at directorate of school education (DoSE) demanding fulfilment of its four-point charter of demands.

In a press release, NNagaDAO president, Abou Mere, pointed out that a deadline was given to NACO and NSACS till October 31, 2016 to release the liabilities of four months fund for the last fiscal year 2015-16, but they have failed to clear the liabilities and also failed to share the status to the action taken. Therefore, Mere said as part of their democratic and peaceful protest, the NNagaDAO and NTIEF would close all the drop-in centres and HIV and AIDS intervention (HIV Prevention and Harm Reduction) programme across the state from November 1-3 and also start non-cooperation movement to NACO and NSACS till justice delivered.

F. P. Solo and Rev. Dr. Chingmak Chang signing the MoU at Kohima, Monday. (NP) Correspondent KOHIMA, OCT 31 (NPN): In an effort to maintain transparency and accountability and to reach out to all students in Tuensang district, department of school education and Eleutheros Christian Society (ECS), Tuensang signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for implementation of Mid-Day Meal (MDM) in Tuensang district at the chief secretary conference hall, Nagaland Civil Secretariat Kohima today.

According to the MoU, ECS, in accordance with the objectives of the Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS) of the government of India, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), New Delhi and on recommendations of the State Level Steering and Monitoring Commit-

tee (SLSMC) for MDM, have been identified by the department to be the nodal agency through which the scheme would be implemented in Tuensang district on Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode, as per procedure prescribed from time to time by the state government. MDM would be provided regularly to all government schools from class I to VII in Tuensang district.

ECS shall observe the guidelines of MDMS issued by the government of India MHRD, department of School Education and Implementation Manual developed by the department.

There would be state, district and block Steering & Monitoring Committee (SMC) and at the village level a MDM Committee comprising of church, SHG federation, VEC, mothers, parents forum and the ECS as members would be formed.

The second party should submit annual report at the end of every financial year to the department monthly, quarterly and yearly report should be submitted to the concerned SDEO/DEO and the department as per the implementation of the MDMS. The present unit costs

for each component, subject to revision by the GoI for 220 working days excluding holidays included cooking cost for primary @ Rs.4.13 ps per day/child and for upper primary @ Rs.6.18 ps per day/child for which the initial payment will be released immediately after the signing of the MoU.

Adequate distribution and provision of rice would be overseen by the DEO/SDEO. Head of Institution/ School Management Committee/ Village Education Committee shall co-operate and provide assistance to ECS as per provisions of the MOU signed.

In his introductory speech, F. P. Solo described the signing of the MoU as a historic day and the success would lead to the implementation of the PPP mode of providing MDMS in other districts as well.

Reacting against the issue surrounding MDMS, Solo stated that transparency and accountability needed to be looked into for which the co-operation between the government and head of institution/school management committee was necessary.

He also stressed on accurate U-DISE figure of the students enrolled so that it would ensure the proper implementation of the MDMS. Rev. Dr. Chingmak Chang said that for the implementation of MDM in a district like Tuensang where connectivity was constraint, centralized marketing system would be effective.

He reminded the gathered crowd including representatives from various organizations not to be contented only when government provides them developmental activities but reply back by casting their vote in favour of those leaders who was willing to take up development activities. “We ask only for one vote, please don’t forget us”, he said.

According to Patton, politicians have to face interview every after five years, unlike government servant who continue to serve till they attained retirement age. “Whether we pass or fail, it all depends on your hand”, he said. He also appealed to the people to extend support to the government on any development activities.

He admitted that the

issue of land ownership has become a major concern for development in the Naga society. He said unless there was availability of land, development cannot take place. However, he appreciated the landowners of Bhandari for not creating any hindrance towards developmental activities taken by the government.

On the occasion, Patton also congratulated the commandant and his staff on the successful completion of the office building of Commandant 7th NAP battalion at Bhandari after a lapse of 31 years of its inception.

He said, Bhandari headquarter was established in 1985 with a recruitment of 30 boys only and initially, Chumukedima was declared as the

temporary headquarter. It was shifted to its present location in 1994.

“In fact, it is disheartening to say that proper commandant office building could not be constructed even after a lapse of 31 years but, indeed a proud moment for fulfilment of a long felt dream”, he said.

In this regard, he urged the people to acknowledge and appreciate the government.

He further expressed hope that infrastructural development such as inauguration of commandant office would give boost to the commanding officers and staff members to enhance their zeal in the service of the people.

Patton also planted a tree outside the premises of the newly inaugurated

office.

In his brief speech, DGP L.L. Doungel lauded 7th NAP for their unity and said that inauguration was the new resources for them (7th NAP).

According to DGP, state police has achieved many milestones in development front through home minister’s unstinted support.

He further urged the police personnel to continue to work together so that more could be achieved.

Earlier, the programme was chaired by deputy commandant 2 i/c 7th NAP bn, Chuba Walling while commandant 7th NAP V.Z. Angami delivered welcome address. The act of dedication was done by pastor PBC 7th NAP Bhandari Rev. M. Woben Lotha.

IMPHAL, Oct 31: United Naga Council (UNC) 48-hour total shutdown in Naga inhabited areas has begun even as Meitei and Kuki-Mizo-Chin communities are all set to celebrate their biggest festivals “Ningol Chakkouba” and “Kut” respectively.

On the other hand, Manipur chief minister has made no mention about government’s plan to declare Sadar Hills and Jiribam as full-fledged revenue districts of the state.

The UNC imposed the 48-hour total shut down against the alleged plan of the Manipur government to declare Sadar Hills and Jiribam as full-fledged districts of the state. There was speculation that the chief minister would announce Jiribam as full-fledged revenue of the state on Monday and Sadar Hill district on Tuesday.

However, the speculations proved wrong when chief minister O Ibobi Singh made no mention about the

two matters in his address after the inauguration of some developmental projects in Jiribam today afternoon.

The chief minister said nothing about the two issues but said that his government has been giving top priority in improving the road connectivity in hills and remote areas of the state, a journalist based in Jiribam said when contacted by this correspondent. With the commencement of the total shutdown, hundreds of Imphal-bound vehicles including passenger service vehicles and goods laden trucks were reportedly stranded midways along NH-37 and NH-2.

The strike supporters took to the road along the highways at various places and prevented the vehicles from further proceeding to Imphal. Hundreds of vehicles coming towards Imphal on NH-2 were reportedly stranded at Mao gate. Some of the vehicles were ferrying fish, the main item of the Ningol Chakkouba festival which is to be celebrated on Tuesday.

The UNC imposed the to-

tal shutdown affecting the national highways passing through Naga areas despite two major festivals are to be celebrated on Tuesday.

On the other hand, state Governor, chief minister and others greeted the people of the state on the eve of the two grand traditional festivals of the state.

The Governor, in her Ningol Chakkouba message, wished ‘may this year’s Ningol Chakkouba, one of the biggest social festivals of Manipur, bring the real meaning of love and bond of unity among all ethnic communities of Manipur.’

Greeting the people of Manipur, especially the Kuki-Mizo-Chin brethren on the occasion of Kuk festival-2016, the Governor said that the festival will certainly spread the message of peace, love, communal harmony, friendship and brotherhood amongst the different communities in the North-east and especially in Manipur.

“Let this traditional festival spread the message of peaceful co-existence for a better Manipur,” she wished.

Tension grips Tripura village over molestation of four tribal girls

Agartala, Oct 31 (Agencies): Tension mounted in Bishnupur ADC village at Sabroom of this South Tripura district, following alleged molestation of four tribal girls on their way back home after attending a cultural event on Deepawali.

Police has been accused of not registering cases against the accused youths, who reportedly belonged to the ruling CPI-M and rather, insisted the victim families to end up the case mutually, to avoid future trouble.

The opposition Trinamool Congress and BJP have raised voice against the role of police and demanded to book the accused under law, while asking the administration to take strong action against the police personnel responsible for misguiding the victims.

H oweve r, S u b - D i visional Police Officer (SDPO) Shisir Kumar Das denied the allegation and stated that nobody has come to them for registering a complaint.

He admitted that according to report, four youths had behaved in an indecent way to the girls yesterday, when they were

returning home to Ruhidaspara of the village. ‘’In police record, there is no incident of molestation with the girls. But if we get specific complaints, the accused will be dealt as per law,’’ he assured.

According to villagers, six teenagers of the tribal village were returning home at around 0400 hrs yesterday, after attending a cultural programme.

Four tribal youths identified as Chelafru Mog (18), Keosi Mog (18), Thanga Mog (20) and Ula Mog (18) had followed them on road.

Four of the six girls were molested inside a nearby forest by the accused, but two of the girls managed to escape from the spot and raised alarm.

The villagers cordoned the area and detained the youths and handed them over to police.

Allegedly, police neither arrested them nor registered any case against the accused.

Later, they were released, suggesting to compromise between them at community level, as both the parties belong to Mog tribe, which triggered resentment.

Woman kills drunkard husband

Crackers sparks fire in Guwahati

Shillong, Oct 31 (Agencies): The Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has violated the party constitution while taking action against Congress legislator and KHADC CEM P.N Syiem, some party leaders feel.

“In the past, the party would first serve a showcause notice to any member who violated the principles of the party,” a Congress leader said. He added that based on the reply of the member, the disciplinary committee would take a decision on whether to take any action.

However, in the case of Syiem, neither a showcause was issued nor any meeting of the disciplinary committee was held to discuss the matter. MPCC president D.D Lapang recently justified the reason for not issuing a showcause notice to Syiem by saying that the rebel leader’s intention was very clear as expressed through the media reports. Lapang had claimed that showcause notices are generally issued to party members whose intentions are not clear.

Agartala, Oct 31 (Agencies): A woman, along with her two sons, killed her husband in Ratanpur village under Belonia sub-division of south Tripura district.

Police sources said Gouranga Tripura (65) was a regular drunkard and created trouble at home.

Last night after returning home in an inebriated condition, Gouranga started abusing his wife and sons in the vilest possible manner.

Fed up with his daily torture, Gouranga’s wife People in traditional attires during the Chagaa-Gaadi festival celebration on Monday.

The body was discovered in the courtyard of her home yesterday morning by her husband and two sons.

8 SIMI men killed in encounter BHOPAL, OCT 31 (PTI): Eight SIMI activists were today killed in an alleged encounter with police on the outskirts of the city hours after they escaped from the high-security Bhopal Central Jail killing a security guard but questions cropped up over the encounter.

As a controversy raged over the police action after the daring pre-dawn jailbreak, TV channels showed footage purportedly from the encounter site in which a policeman is seen pumping bullets into a man from close range after some unidentified person takes out what appears to be a knife said to be in a plastic cover and places it back.

The activists of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India(SIMI), two of whom were involved in a similar jail-break in Khandwa three years ago, managed to escape around 2-3 AM after killing a jail security guard by scaling the prison wall with the help of bed sheets, DIG Bhopal Raman Singh said.

Acting on the leads provided by locals, the undertrials were tracked down to Malikheda where they were encircled and killed when they tried to challenge the police, a police official said. All the eight activists were killed by Bhopal Police at Malikheda on the city outskirts, Home Minister Bhupendra Singh told PTI. The eight activists were identified as Amzad, Zakir Hussain Sadiq, Mohammad Salik, Mujeeb Shaikh, Mehbood Guddu, Mohammad Kalid Ahmed, Aqeel and Majid, a police official said.

NIA will probe the jailbreak even as contradictions surfaced on the encounter.

The jail superintendent was among four officials suspended by the Madhya Pradesh government. IG

Police at the encounter site after the STF killed 8 SIMI activists who escaped Central Jail killing a security guard in Bhopal on Monday. (PTI) Yogesh Choudhary said the fleeing SIMI activists had weapons in their possession and opened fire when confronted and the police fired in retaliation, in comments that appeared to contradict the Home Minister’s statement.

Bhupendra Singh said the undertrials used spoons and plates they carried from the prison as weapons to attack the security personnel. Asked for his comments on the TV footage that appeared to contradict encounter theory, he maintained that it was an encounter and police had no option but to eliminate them. At a brief media interaction, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the jail-break would be probed by the NIA but parried a question on the encounter. He said the state government will also carry out a separate investigation into the matter.

Soon after the incident, the state government released the sketches of the eight activists and suspended four officials including Jail Superintendent Akhilesh Tomar. The government also announced a reward of Rs 5 lakh each on the heads of the activists.

“We have taken a decision to suspend MP Prison

Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Bhopal Central Jail Superintendent, Deputy Jail Superintendent and Assistant Jail Superintendent,” Chouhan added.

Opp demands probe

Congress and other opposition parties today demanded a judicial probe into the killing of 8 SIMI terrorists in an encounter after their escape from Bhopal Central jail.

While Congress and CPI-M sought a judicial probe so people get to know the truth, the BJP questioned Congress for coming in support of SIMI terrorists and accused it of politicising the incident.

“I am demanding a judicial probe because even the government must know under what circumstances they escaped.

People of the state and country must know how terrorists with such a record were able to escape from such a high security jail and within hours caught and shot dead,” Congress leader Kamal Nath, a Lok Sabha MP from Madhya Pradesh, said. His party colleague Manish Tewari, however, said he would comment on the issue after more details are received since the situation is still evolving.

Judges’ phones being tapped, alleges Kejriwal NEW DELHI, OCT 31 (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today created ripples by alleging that there is a “widespread” fear that the phones of judges are being tapped and said if it is true, then it is the biggest assault on the independence of the judiciary.

Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad promptly denied the allegations, saying the independence of judiciary is fundamental and uncompromising for the Narendra Modi government.

Kejriwal claimed during his meetings with judges he has “overheard them telling each other that they should not talk on phones because they could be tapped”. The Chief Minister said when he told them the phones of judges cannot be tapped, “they retorted by saying that all phones could be tapped”. “I don’t know whether it is true or not but there is a widespread fear.

If it is true that phones are tapped then judges can be influenced...,” he said. Addressing the golden jubilee celebrations of Delhi High

Arvind Kejriwal Court here in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Justice of India T S Thakur also participated, he said even if there has been a wrong-doing by a judge then phone tapping should not be allowed. “There are many other ways to gather evidence for wrongdoing, otherwise it will be the biggest assault on the independence of the judiciary,” he said.

Prasad, who spoke after Kejriwal, said, “I deny with all authority at command the allegations that phones of judges have been tapped.”

He said right from the prime minister to other ministers and the government, all have fought for the independence of judiciary and individual liberty and freedom of media during emergency.

ACAUT hits out at F&CS deptt

(Form p-1)

ACAUT also questioned the tender committee as to how some firms with same truck registration and numbers were made to qualify for multiple districts when the tender guidelines pointed out that-- “a tender for one district should have a minimum of ten (10) numbers of trucks attached for carrying food grains”. It wondered whether it was feasible for the contractor with 10-15 trucks to carry all the food grains for multiple districts. ACAUT demanded that the contract work be split into separate 75 blocks rather than 11 districts, so that the educated unemployed youth can gainfully engage themselves as self-employment rather than few powerful individuals. ACUAT said the reluctance shown to correct the unfair practices in the tendering process, only raises suspicion of personal interest. In this regard, ACAUT reminded the director to cancel the tender immediately and make changes as suggested by ACAUT. In case of failure to comply with the demand, ACAUT said the director, who is NIT calling authority, would be fully responsible as stated in the earlier letter.

Soldier, woman killed in Pakistan border firing

JAMMU, OCT 31 (IANS): An Indian soldier and a woman were on Monday killed in firing by the Pakistan Army across the defacto border in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.

Two more soldiers and another civilian were injured in the latest violation by the Pakistan Army of the 2003 ceasefire agreement to maintain peace at borders and along the Line of Control (LoC), a police spokesman said. The spokesman said the fresh cross-border firing incidents occurred in Rajouri and Poonch districts on the LoC that divides Jammu and Kashmir between the two countries. The spokesman said the Pakistan Army used 82 mm mortar shells and automatic weapons to target Indian positions on the LoC and the soldier and the woman were killed in the Tarkundi sector of Rajouri.

DIMAPUR: Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has said it “fully supported” the genuine demands of the aggrieved t e a c h e r s , N S S AT A / RMSA/Hindi teachers, to release pending salaries for the last six to nine months.

In a press release, CNTC, media cell, stated that the teachers under the various central flagship programmes have been suffering greatly and being denied of their basic salary, which it said was a gross violation of human rights.

Describing teachers as the builders of the nation, CNTC said “when our people in this noblest profession are being denied of their basic salary facing untold hardships upto the point of starvation, the CNTC cannot just be a mute spectator of all these injustices and discrimination meted out to the teaching community who are our own children.”

It said the state government cannot keep on forever giving the “usual excuse” of “No funds from the centre”.

Central Nagaland Tribes Council said it was the duty of the father to provide the bread to his family and children from any permissible and lawful source. “Mere exhortations, lofty words and felicitating them with yearly awards on Teachers’ Day by our politicians and bureaucrats alone are not sufficient,” CNTC stated.

Maintaining that teachers needed to be truly valued and treated with reverence, CNTC, however, said it was just the contrary at present.

Pointing out that it was impossible for any people to survive when the very source of their survival was deprived, the Central Nagaland Tribes Council has urged the state government to release pending salaries to the aggrieved teacher without delay.

NSCN (I-M), NSF oppose creation of districts in Mnp

(From p-1)

Nagaland chief secretary expressing concern over the proposal.

Drawing attention of the CS, in the memorandum NSF said the issue needs to be attended to as critical imperative for Nagas and for the peaceful co-existence of the various ethnic groups in Manipur.

While acknowledging the initiatives taken by the Manipur government with various Naga civil organisations with regard to the understanding and agreements of the various MoUs on the stated position of the Nagas against the creation of the Sadar Hills district without the consent of the Naga people, NSF urged upon the CS to take corrective action and to ensure peaceful coexistence as espoused by Nagas.

NSF said, as the apex body of all Nagas, it had been vocal against the creation of any district from the present districts predominantly inhabited by Nagas.

NSF said the consent of the Nagas in any matter related with the creation of the Sadar Hill district should be convincingly understood to avoid any untoward outcomes with regard to any government action.

Good and bad money

T

here is little doubt that the role of financial lending institutions is crucial for spurring economic progress and this is undeniable with respect to Nagaland. If the banks don’t provide the needed financial loans then economic progress will stagnate. This can be gleaned by figures which do a lot to reveal this belief. Once the revelation of the Entrepreneurs Association of Nagaland(EAN), that 18 commercial banks had provided only around 16% of the deposits as credit as against the national average of around 70% has only buttressed the widely held belief that financial institutions in Nagaland were willfully neglecting their obligations on specious arguments. The EAN had stated, at a meeting with the Parliament Standing Committee on Finance, that financial institutions were fighting shy of coming forward to promote entrepreneurs .If commercial banks in Nagaland shy away from providing loans for whatever reasons or excuses, then it can only mean they are not interested to play their role in the economic development of the state. It can also mean that the commercial banks prefer to plough the deposits they hold, to lend it for business in other parts of the country. There may be many reasons for the poor percentage of credit but surely, most of the reasons arise basically on account of preconceived notion that loans would go bad and which can also mean that all those seeking loans are future defaulters. While banks also have some genuine problems, yet it does not mean that there cannot be any business in Nagaland since there are many other states with similar or worse problems but banks still keep their doors open. The biggest drawback with obtaining loans from banks is the mandatory collateral as guarantee from the applicants. Some banks insists on 70% collateral while others go up to 100%. This has been a big hurdle for many would-be entrepreneurs in Nagaland. As a consequence, many aspiring potential entrepreneurs have to abandon their dream projects midway due to this problem. In view of the existing laws that prevent transfer of land ownership to non-Nagas as collateral guarantee, which has been seen to be a major hurdle by lending institutions; the relaxation in Dimapur cadastral area has opened the loan bottleneck. The issue of poor recovery of loans is an issue that needs to be given a serious consideration in the state but banks must also accept the fact that Nagaland is certainly not the worst case scenario as being made out. However, there is another side of the story which involves too many loan defaulters.

Ironically, the biggest roadblock to bank loans is caused by the government itself. The government has made it mandatory for banks to give loans to selected entrepreneurs under PMRY or CM’s Corpus Fund. An overwhelming majority of beneficiaries who got loan from Banks end up defaulting on repayments. The selected beneficiaries are also given subsidies. The banks have taken this enlarging cycle of defaulters as an excuse or a pretext for not giving loans. The alleged bank loan scams involve government officials and politicians. On the other hand, banks should not feel that being compelled to give loans under PMRY or CM’s Corpus Fund is more than enough as these have helped them play their roles as lending institutions for the progress and development of the state schemes.

DailyDevotion The Trial of Faith If you have faith as a mustard seed…nothing will be impossible for you. —Matthew 17:20 We have the idea that God rewards us for our faith, and it may be so in the initial stages. But we do not earn anything through faith— faith brings us into the right relationship with God and gives Him His opportunity to work. Yet God frequently has to knock the bottom out of your experience as His saint to get you in direct contact with Himself. God wants you to understand that it is a life of faith, not a life of emotional enjoyment of His blessings. The beginning of your life of faith was very narrow and intense, centered around a small amount of experience that had as much emotion as faith in it, and it was full of light and sweetness. Then God withdrew His conscious blessings to teach you to “walk by faith” (2 Corinthians 5:7). And you are worth much more to Him now than you were in your days of conscious delight with your thrilling testimony.

Faith by its very nature must be tested and tried.

And the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God’s character must be proven as trustworthy in our own minds. Faith being worked out into reality must experience times of unbroken isolation. Never confuse the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life, because a great deal of what we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive. Faith, as the Bible teaches it, is faith in God coming against everything that contradicts Him— a faith that says, “I will remain true to God’s character whatever He may do.” The highest and the greatest expression of faith in the whole Bible is— “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15).

The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds. ~ Will Durant

ndians love freebies. And they love chicken. The per capita consumption of poultry has increased four-fold in the last 50 years. So, let me give you the knowledge of two free things you get with your chicken. A bacterium called Compylobacter, and the stuff we use to clean our bathrooms with, Chlorine.

Campylobacter comes from contaminated meat products, especially poultry. The avian species are the most common host for Campylobacter, probably because of their higher body temperature. Contamination occurs both on the farm and in poultry slaughter plants.

Routine procedures on the farm, such as feed, handling, and transport practices, bring infected birds for slaughter. At the slaughter plant, de-feathering, evisceration, and carcass chillers have been documented to cross-contaminate poultry carcasses. Researchers have found Campylobacter to be at their highest populations on poultry during the warmer months. During these months, 87% to 97% of the samples tested were positive for the bacteria.

Freezing does not eliminate the pathogen from contaminated foods. It survives even at 4 °C. Campylobacter was first described in 1880 by Theodore Escherich. It has long been recognized as a cause of diarrhoea in cattle and of septic abortion in cattle and sheep. Only in the last 25 years has Campy-

lobacter been recognized as an important cause of human illness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that it is the major cause of bacterial diarrheal illness, with thousands of cases documented annually, and 50% to 70% of those attributed to consuming poultry and poultry products. Children and young adults are more susceptible to this disease, and individuals with immunosuppression can develop prolonged or unusually severe cases of illness. Many thousand people die. Doses as low as 500 organisms have been reported to cause illness.

The most common clinical symptoms of campylobacteriosis are fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhoea that occur within 2 to 5 days of ingestion of food or water contaminated with C. jejuni.

Antibiotics, like erythromycin and fluoroquinolones, are usually prescribed, but now the bacteria is resistant to both. In about 1 of 1000 cases, the infection is followed 2 to 3 weeks later with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a debilitating inflammatory polyneuritis characterised by fever, pain, and weakness that progresses to paralysis.

Other possible autoimmune diseases, from Campylobacter infections, include Miller Fisher syndrome and Reiter’s syndrome or reactive arthritis.

At the consumer level, accidental ingestion of 1 drop of raw chicken juice can easily constitute an in-

Are you ok with that fectious dose. Infections can occur during the improper handling of raw chicken carcasses, by eating insufficiently cooked chicken, and via cross-contamination of other foods by contact with knives or cutting boards used to prepare raw chicken.

The elimination of Campylobacter infection from birds, before killing, is not feasible. It spreads through the communal drinking water, the hands of the handlers, the faeces which contaminates all Indian poultries. Chickens are stuffed into cages and sent for slaughter. Campylobacter has been shown to increase during transport. It is known that stress lowers the resistance of the live animal and increases the spreading of intestinal bacteria. Potential sources of Campylobacter contamination, on poultry carcasses, include faecal contamination of feathers and skin during transport to the slaughter facility, leakage of faecal content from the cloaca, intestinal breakage, and contact with contaminated equipment, water, or other carcasses.

By the time the birds reach the place of killing, campy-

lobacter infections are 10fold greater than when they started off earlier that day.

Birds are unloaded, shackled, killed, scalded, de-feathered, eviscerated, washed. The data showed no reduction in bacteria, Escherichia coli, or Campylobacter on carcasses during scalding and de-feathering.

So, the poultry industry as a last resort, has, for the last forty years dunked the carcasses into a bath of chlorinated water to remove blood, faecal and bacterial contamination. Then the carcasses are required to be cooled rapidly to prevent bacterial growth. So the dead birds are put into water chillers. 20 to 50 ppm chlorine and chlorine dioxide is added to the water chillers and the bodies are immersed in it from 5-15 minutes. Chlorine is not just used directly on the chicken, but in all the machinery that is used to cut and clean the bird.

Chlorine has a variety of uses. It is used to disinfect water, and is part of the sanitation process for sewage and industrial waste.

It is also used in cleaning products, household bleach,

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, November 1, 2016

solvents, pesticides, polymers, synthetic rubbers, and refrigerants. Chlorine bleach is used to disinfect toilet bowls.

Chlorine is used by the poultry industry to reduce spoilage bacteria and compylobacter, control the spread of pathogens, and prevent build-up of microorganisms on working surfaces and equipment. Does it succeed? Not really. Most studies show that, in commercial poultries, chlorine shows a small amount of reduction in carcass contamination.

Researchers, like Sanders and Black, say that there is little effect of chlorine in the final carcass wash unless at least 40 mg/L is used. Washing carcasses post-chilled with water containing 50 mg/L of chlorine did not reduce the proportion of salmonella bacteria.

These studies emphasized the importance of adequate contact time, which is not usually done in a washing operation.

Chlorine dioxide is a synthetic yellowish-green gas, which smells like chlorine bleach and is being used since the 90s. In 1967, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) first registered the liquid form of chlorine dioxide for use as a disinfectant and sanitizer.

From drains it has found its way to chickens and is used to control the microbial population in poultry processing chill water. Chlorine dioxide tends to result in a slightly lighter skin colour, because it bleaches

the chicken.

The illness caused by Campylobacter contamination is clearly a major issue in our food system. But most poultry processing plants do not measure Campylobacter levels, since doing so would involve rejection of all chicken carcasses.

Chlorine does not bring the bacterial load levels of contamination below the threat to public health.

Campylobacter has been discovered in 69%-98% of retail-packaged broilers sampled from grocery stores in the U.S. A study (Bongkot) from New Zealand showed that Campylobacter existed in 63% of chicken carcasses at retail outlets. Blankenship and Craven detected viable strains of Compylobacter in ground chicken meat.

A study (Friedman) in the United Kingdom estimated Campylobacter organisms on the surface of 80% fresh chicken carcasses.

Kanenaka found 93% infected poultry samples in 2 large retail markets in Hawaii. If this is what happens in countries with strict food controls, what could happen to us where the food inspector has no labs, no checking equipment, and exists only to take bribes.

So, your favourite curry has a large dollop of free Campylobacter bacteria and the bleach you used to clean your toilet bowl with this morning. Are you ok with that? To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@nic.in,www.peopleforanimalsindia.org

is hands hung loosely on his sides as he walked up the street towards me.

For some time now, I knew this moment would come when the two of us would meet up face to face. It was inevitable.

Our fates were decided the day we met Nancy, the most popular woman in the NETbourhood.

I watched him approach.

There was no hurr y in his steps.

The afternoon sun shone directly on his face, and I could see there was sweat on his brows.

A horse neighed somewhere. Else, all was quiet. The Bartender came out of the bat wings and leaned against a post to watch. This was nothing new for him. He had seen it all. He had dragged many a lifeless body from the dusty floor of his Bar to Boot Hill. Men had come and gone. And many had simply fallen dead from the gun shots and had to be dragged away to meet their Maker.

From the corner of my eyes I could see people moving out of the way. For when bullets fly fast and furiously, the wise know it is best to get out of the way.

The initial shots are mostly true to their targets, but the fingers of a dying man could squeeze off shots not knowing where the business end of their gun is pointed.

A fly buzzed near my face, but I did not swat at it knowing any sudden move on my part would precipitate the fight. I wanted him up close so that I could look into his eyes when I shot him full of holes. I could also be shot, but I knew I would surely get my chance to pump my bullets into him.

Ever since I was knee-high, I have hunted with a rifle I could scarcely lift off the ground. But when I took aim, my shots rarely went off the mark. Bullets were hard to come by in our small frontier town, and those times when I came back home without any game, Pa would scold me for wasting precious bullets and made me go to bed without dinner. And those times when I came back home with several squirrels, Pa would scold me for shooting at the bodies wasting precious meat. By the time I grew waist-high, I had mustered the art of barking squirrels, as we called it. We would should at the bark near the squirrel or birds and splinters of wood would knock out or stun the small animals and birds. That’s the way to go about it, Pa would smile and pat

Vigilance week observed across Nagaland

(L-R): Officials of the vigilance commission along with the vigilance commissioner at the vigilance awareness week at Dimapur. Director, IPR Limawati leading the staff in taking the vigilance awareness pledge at DIPR. Vilgilance awareness pledge being read out during the vigilance awareness week at Wokha. Vigilance awareness week observed at Mon on 31 October, 2016. (DPRO, Mon) DIMAPUR: Nagaland also observed the Vigilance Week 2016 under the theme “public participation in promoting integrity and eradicating corruption” at town hall, Dimapur on October 31.

According to DIPR report, vigilance commissioner, Nagaland, K. T. Sukhalu IAS (Rtd) in his keynote address said that corruption was cancerous which every citizen must strive to cure.

He observed that many new leaders on campaign declare their determination to eradicate corruption but soon they themselves become corrupted. He said that if people do not act now to remove corruption from the root, Nagaland would remain a developing state. People as citizens of the state are the solution for removing corruption and help to develop Nagaland, he said.

Sukhalu was also disheartened to see corrupt people after taking bribe talking about the high moral standards and urged the people to follow the principles and ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi.

Terming election as the root of corruption, Sukhalu appreciated the NBCC’s call for clean election. He was optimistic that various affiliated association/churches across the state would carry forward the message to their respective members. He however, felt that the church should also introspect on

the source of its funds. Giving importance to raising awareness and educating the public about corruption, he said that function of different NGOs should be educating and creating awareness about corruption issues among the general public. Commissioner also stated RTI as the powerful means of preventing corruption and has a good number of success stories but regretted to hear huge sum of money being offered to the applicants and manipulating documents while furnishing the details by the department officials. Commenting on the role of youths towards a corruption free society, Sukhalu said that the nation belongs to its youth and the youths can do a great deal in this matter but must be careful not to take up misguided ideals and ideas. He also felt the need to take up politics, to give new dimension and relevance and law also must ensure protection and rights to its citizens who believe in it. “We must remember that however much the corrupt insist on corruption, it can be rooted out by the public saying “No” he said. Sukhalu also administered the Vigilance Pledge.

Short speeches on the theme was also delivered by president, Naga Council Dimapur, Bangerloba, president, Naga Women Hoho Dimapur, Hukheli T. Wotsa, president, DNSU, Sung-

DIPR: Department of Information & Public Relations, Nagaland observed the programme at the DIPR conference hall.

Director IPR, Limawati Ao while addressing the staff said neither Nagaland nor India was corruption-free therefore anti-corruption week was observed every year in India. He mentioned that people usually think of corrupted politicians and officials in developmental departments who are constructing massive buildings in Dimapur and elsewhere.

“Corruption is not just taking bribes, not coming to office on time or being absent without leave are also corruption” he said.

People hardly pay taxes here so we do not really care about corruption when it comes to government’s money which was public money, he asserted.

Director also expressed happiness over the record maintained in the IPR Department where no major corruption case was reported. Urging the staff, he said even a small department can make a difference in the state by being a good example.

banks were not forthcoming with the reporting of frauds to it.

CBI Director Anil Sinha had recently red-flagged rising cases of bank frauds saying the issue of delay in identifying and reporting frauds, which allows borrowers to siphon off funds before investigations are taken up, needs serious thoughts.

“In the case of banks, there is some misunderstanding in what constitutes fraud. Fraud as understood in the banking sector is different from the fraud as understood by investigating agencies under IPC and CrPC. Banks do report NPAs and frauds to Reserve Bank as per their guidelines,” Central Vigilance Commissioner K V Chowdary said.

He said after consultation with RBI, changes have been brought in to the system.

A special chapter has been added in the Vigilance Manual for Banking system with updated one to be unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a function of CVC on November 7.

New Delhi, Oct 31 (IANS): Domestic fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies have performed significantly well vis-a-vis the multinational companies (MNCs) in India during 2015-16, a research report said on Monday.

“The combined overall revenue of selected eight MNCs during the FY 16 registered a total of $9,436.66 million, whereas the combined revenue of selected seven Indian FMCG is $11,066.46 million,” the Assocham-TechSci Research report said.

According to the joint study, which observed performance analysis of selected Indian FMCG companies, the highest profit after tax margin is maintained at 25.48 per cent

Till now this report was shared with the RBI only, Vigilance Commissioner T M Bhasin said.

The banks will also now have to report the modus operandi of all the alleged frauds to the CVC which will share these details with other banks to ensure that systemic changes can be brought in to prevent such cases being repeated, he said.

“Frauds were being reported by the Central Vigilance Officers of the banks to the RBI through the Fraud Monitoring and Reporting (FMR) mechanism. Now the Commission has decided that fraud of Rs 50 crore and above will be regularly followed up by the CVC. “For this purpose, we will convene regular meetings where concerned people of CBI and RBI will be called and BSFC concerned banks,” T M Bhasin said.

The move comes following the difference in the definition of “fraud” in the banks and investigating agencies.

New Delhi, Oct 31 (PTI): With several highticket alleged frauds like Vijay Mallya loan default case coming to fore, Central Vigilance Commission has now made it mandatory for the public sector banks to report to it all such matters involving funds over Rs one crore.

Based on the reports, the anti-corruption watchdog, which has hired four General Manager ranked officers from bank as advisors, will recommend whether CBI probe can be ordered.

According to CBI data, in 2015, the agency had probed 171 cases of bank frauds involving funds of Rs 20,646 crore. In addition, CBI is also investigating the Ponzi schemes involving funds of over Rs 1.20 lakh crore.

The Commission will also call regular monthly meetings of senior officials of Reserve Bank of India (RBI), CBI and banks to monitor probe in suspected bank frauds of Rs 50 crore and above. The banks have been asked to share their reports of Fraud Monitoring and Reporting (FMR)

In a same regulatory filing, Tata Steel said as part of review by Brickwork Ratings, the agency on October 27, 2016 revised Tata Steel Ltd’s credit rating to BWR AA from BWR AA+ for NCD and BWR AA- from BWR AA for the perpetual debt, with a negative outlook.

“While the company clarified its position vide its press release dated October 27, 2016, according to Brickwork, the ratings change has resulted due to the uncertainty consequent to the recent change in top management at Holding Company/ Group Level which could slow down vital decisions such as cost cutting and deleveraging the Balance sheet concerning the unprofitable UK operations and restructuring of the European business,” it added.

Lebanon’s Michel Aoun elected President

BEIRUT, Oct 31 (Reuters): The Lebanese Parliament elected former army commander Michel Aoun as President on Monday, ending a 29-month presidential vacuum as part of a political deal that is expected to make Sunni Muslim leader Saad al-Hariri prime minister. Aoun, who is in his 80s, secured the presidency by winning the support of 83 MPs, well above the absolute majority of 65 needed to win, according to a tally of votes read out in a televised broadcast from parliament.

China to invest USD 140 billion by 2020 to relocate poor citizens Beijing, Oct 31 (Reuters): China will invest 946.3 billion yuan ($140 billion) by 2020 to relocate its poorest citizens from remote, inland regions to more developed areas, the state planner said on Monday.

The mass relocation is part of a strategy to lift 10 million people out of poverty by 2020, with 2 million estimated to be moved this year, the state council said in May. The funds will be used mainly to construct homes, support facilities and basic public infrastructure, with the rest going to the restoration of vacated lands, state planner National Development and Reform Commision (NDRC) said in a document.

The investment will be

financed mainly by China`s two policy banks - China Development Bank and Agricultural Development Bank of China, who will provide 341.3 billion yuan in long-term loans and 50 billion yuan in construction bonds - as well as by local governments, who will provide 285.8 billion yuan.

Local governments will also raise up to 100 billion yuan through bonds, while the central government in Beijing will allocate around 80 billion yuan.

Relocated villagers are expected to contribute 21.5 billion yuan. China`s poor make up about 5 percent of a population of 1.4 billion, living mostly in the countryside and earning less than 2,300 yuan a year, according to the government and state media.

decisive influence wielded by the Tehran-backed Hezbollah. Saudi Arabia had backed Hariri and his allies through years of political struggle with Hezbollah and its allies.

Hariri’s own financial misfortunes have also played a big part in bringing about the breakthrough.

His political network in Lebanon was hit by a cash crunch caused by financial troubles at his Saudi-based construction firm, Saudi Oger. Analysts say the position of prime minister, which he previously held from 2009 to 2011, should help him shore up his support ahead of parliamentary elections that are due to be held next year.

Turkey detains opposition newspaper editor, managers ISTANBUL October 31 (AP): Turkish police detained the chief editor and two columnist of Turkey’s opposition Cumhuriyet newspaper on Monday and had warrants to detain 10other senior staff members, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

Editor-in-chief Murat Sabuncuand columnists Guray Oz and Aydin Engin were taken into custody following raids at their homes, Cumhuriyet said on its website. Police were searching the homes of other senior staff, including the paper’s cartoonist. The detentions of leading employees of the left-leaning and pro-secular Cumhuriyet _ one of Turkey’s oldest newspapers _ come amid accusations

by opposition parties and human rights groups that Turkey is using the state of emergency imposed following a failed military coup in July to clamp down not only on the alleged coup plotters but on all government critics. A statement from the Istanbul chief prosecutor’s office said those detained were suspected of ``committing crimes’’ on behalf of the movement led by U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen _ accused by the government of masterminding the coup attempt _ as well as the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK. The statement said that while those detained are not accused of membership of the Gulen movement or the PKK, there are

``claims’’ and ``proof ’’ that a shortly before the July 15 coup attempt, the suspects had published content that attempted to legitimize the rebellion. Meanwhile two prominent Kurdish politicians have been put under arrest. Gultan Kisanak, the mayor of Turkey’s largest Kurdish-populated city of Diyarbakir, and co-mayor Firat Anli were formally put under arrest Sunday, days after they were taken into custody on unspecified terrorism-related charges. Sibel Gunes, general secretary of the Turkish Journalists’ Association, told The Associated Press that some 170 media outlets have been shut down since the attempted coup and 105 journalists have been arrested.

Eric Martin says he is excited to be back in Dimapur E

Eric Martin (C) and Marcus (4th from left) along with the organizing team ‘LiveNow’ after the press conference at Niathu Resort, Dimapur. (NP) of rock music Eric has been able produce some of the most loved and evergreen songs with his band Mr Big. Although their list of hits would be lengthy, ‘To Be With You’, is the chartbuster scoring no 1 single in 15 countries simultaneously after its release in 1992 which have never been equalled by any other rock band so far.

Eric currently resides in Marine County, San

Francisco, US, but spends most of his time touring the globe.

He described his journey to India and Nagaland as exciting, challenging with a lot of nice foods, places and beautiful clothes.

Answering to a question on his second journey to the region, Eric said he liked to take up challenges besides doing what he loved to do, which was singing.

He said, “Initially I was scared to tour solo

since I had relied on my friends Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert (his bandmates), I wanted to take up the challenge of doing solos, I wanted to experience me. I could say and do whatever I wanted in my solo tours. I get nervous sometimes but that’s what thrills me and keeps me going.”

On being asked about the road condition, Eric said it had become worse than how it was when he

visited way back in 2009.

He described the road as “brutal” and wished he could talk to someone from the government about it.

Answer to a question, Eric said he felt overshadowed by Mr Big, nevertheless, he added, “who wouldn’t” feel overshadowed by a band that scored no 1 in 15 countries. He went on to say that Mr Big had also served as an umbrella and that he was proud to be part of the supergroup.

Born in 1960 in Long Island, New York, Eric was at the top when Mr Big ruled the rock and roll world in between 1989 to 1997 and becoming a global phenomenon.

He recalled of how he released his first record ‘Electro Asylum’ in 1985 and his first gig which was

at a senior prom.

On a note to the aspiring singers, he said, “Keep hanging in, work hard, keep a fan base, keep it fun, don’t leave school, don’t drink, drop your vices and thing will work out for you when you least expected it.

And most importantly be patient because it takes time and that’s why it’s called ‘experience’ and your time will come.”

He further announced that he would be singing most of the Mr Big hits during his show on Tuesday night.

The Eric Martin unplugged concert was organized by LiveNow. Eric’s next stop will be in Kohima where he is scheduled to play at the main arena in Kisama heritage village on November 2.

The conflict was settled by the stewards who swiftly handed the Dutchman a five-second penalty for gaining an advantage when he went off the track at Turn One. Verstappen, who had finished third, had already taken his place in the prepodium room with the two Mercedes drivers before the stewards’ decision was taken –- while Vettel fumed and gave vent to a stream of pro-

Berlin, Oct 31(Agencies): Germany’s World Cup-winning coach Joachim Loew has extend his contract until 2020, the German FA announced on Monday.

The 56-year-old, who took charge in 2006, has penned a two-year extension to lead Germany’s defence of the World Cup in Russia in 2018 and to the European Championships in 2020. If Loew stays in office until 2020, his 14year reign would make him the joint second-longest serving Germany coach, equal to Helmut Schoen (1964-78). “We have visions and things that we want to tackle, so the time of the extension was just right,” Loew told a press conference in Frankfurt.

“The goal is, of course, to repeat our success story in Rio and we want to be European champions, which is a big goal of mine.

When the head and the heart both say ‘yes’ at the same time, then there is not much to think about.”

“I feel the same motivation as I did at the beginning of my term at the DFB and I still feel their confidence.”

It was marvellous.” Ronaldo played for United between 2003 and 2009, winning three Premier League titles and one Champions League working under Ferguson at Old Trafford, while also receiving the first of three Ballon d’Or trophies to date. “(Ronaldo) emerging as one of the best players in the world was not a surprise for me. Having him since he was 17 years old allowed me to follow his progress, and to understand what made him into such a star,” Ferguson said.

“There are players born to be greats with their natural talent, and another essential factor -- the work ethic necessary to make yourself into a complete player. Cristiano had this determination, this desire to be the best to the level of obsession, along with an amazing discipline at training. This constant desire drove him along in his day-to-day work. Even as a young player at United he was an example for everyone.”

Manchester, Oct 31 (IANS): Portugal and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is “unbeatable” in the race to win the 2016 Ballon d’Or, former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said.

Ronaldo was firm favourite for a fourth career Ballon d’Or award after 51 goals in 2015-16 as his club won last season’s Champions League, and the Portugal captain then lifted the Euro 2016 trophy in June after scoring three times in the competition.

While other candidates including Antoine Griezmann and Lionel Messi are thought to still be in the running, Ferguson told Spanish publication Marca: “I cannot think of anyone better to take the Ballon d’Or trophy. One of my proudest moments are those when I recall the part Manchester United played in his career.

We wish him the best.”

A below-par start to the new season in which the 31-year-old scored just four times in his first nine games led to concerns, but a treble in Saturday’s 4-1 win at Alaves has gone some way towards resting the doubts.

Mexico City, Oct 31 (Agencies): Defending champion Lewis Hamilton kept alive his title defence with a controlled victory ahead of championship leader and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in a stormy Mexican Grand Prix.

The 31-year-old Briton came home comfortably ahead of the German to trim his advantage to 19 points with two races remaining after a fiery finish to the 71lap race. This saw four-time champion Sebastian Vettel lose his temper during a

However, almost three hours after the race had ended, Vettel was penalised 10 seconds and demoted from third to fifth after officials deemed he had made a dangerous blocking move on Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo.

That moved Ricciardo up to third and Verstappen to fourth. But the final fury could not overshadow a near-flawless drive by Hamilton to his second win in succession, his eighth of the season and the 51st of his career.

Hamilton also went off-circuit at Turn One on the opening lap, but without being penalised before he settled and drove with his customary elan. Sixth was Kimi Raikkonen in the second Ferrari while Nico Hulkenberg was seventh for Force India.

Valtteri Bottas finished eighth for Williams ahead of his team-mate Felipe Massa and local hero Sergio Perez who claimed the final point in the second Force India.

Chelsea make it four in a row

Chelsea’s Diego Costa and Southampton’s Cuco Martina fights for the ball during their EPL match on Sunday.

L o n d o n, O c t 3 1 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : C h e l sea made it four Premier League wins in a row and moved to within one point of top spot with a 2-0 win over Southampton at St Mary’s on Super Sunday.

Eden Hazard netted for the third league game in succession before Diego Costa curled home a sumptuous second to end Southampton’s eight-month unbeaten run at home.

Hazard has now scored more goals (5) in this Premier League season than the last campaign (4), while Costa is now the

Nagaland Post, Dimapur tuesday, november 1, 2016

sports

leading goal scorer in the league with eight goals.

Since being dispatched 3-0 by Arsenal and switching to a back three, Chelsea have taken maximum points and kept four consecutive clean sheets.

The victory moves Antonio Conte’s men into fourth place on 22 points, just one point off Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, who are all level on 23.

Conte decided to keep the faith with the same team that rampaged past Manchester United last weekend while Ryan Bertrand

returned for Southampton in their only change from the 1-1 draw at Manchester City.

It took just six minutes for Hazard to break the deadlock.

He darted into space down the right-edge of the box and cut back inside Steven Davis, before rifling a low drive through the legs of Fraser Forster, who will be disappointed he didn’t keep it out.

From that moment, Chelsea’s defence took over as they sat deep and soaked up Southampton’s dominance of the ball.

Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kante broke up play excellently as the Saints struggled to break through a well-organised defensive unit.

Chelsea should have gone in at half-time two goals to the good but Costa fluffed his lines when oneon-one with Forster after Matic had won the ball back on halfway.

Costa did get his goal on 54 minutes - and it was a beauty.

The striker dropped deep and picked the ball up about 25 yards out and curled home a stunning effort into the far corner.

Chelsea could and perhaps should have made the victory more convincing. Pedro and Costa both squandered brilliant openings from close range, while Forster had to be alert to palm away a Hazard effort.

Southampton’s biggest threat was always posed

by Charlie Austin but he should’ve done better on 69 minutes but he planted a header over the crossbar from 12 yards out.

Davis flicked a header off the top of the crossbar with 14 minutes remaining, but this Chelsea backline wasn’t to be breached.

It is now nearly seven hours since they conceded a goal in the Premier League, this latest victory an assertion of their title credentials.

Barca style has changed since Pep left, admits Messi Ma d r i d, O c t 3 1 (Agencies): Barcelona star Lionel Messi has affirmed that the Catalan giants have changed since Pep Guardiola ruled on the bench, as he prepares for Tuesday’s reunion. Guardiola was shown up on his Camp Nou return earlier in October, as Messi ran riot with a hat-trick to down Manchester City 4-0 in the Champions League. And while Luis Enrique’s side prepare for the return clash at the Etihad Stadium, the Argentine mused on the differences between his former and current coaches.

“In reality, the system of Barcelona is something that everyone knows,” the forward explained to the Sun. “I can say we are one of the few clubs that have it, but each boss has different things and applies them as he sees fit.” “We have not noticed massive changes but, yes, some — in that with Luis maybe now we are a bit more aggressive when we attack at speed, whilst with Pep we used counter-attacks less.” Despite that inauspicious display at Camp Nou, Messi is convinced that Pep will make City a better team during his tenure. “City are a great team. They have always been a great team each year we have faced them but now, by having Pep, they will grow more through his work,” he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Mulatonu extended greetings on behalf of GPRN/NSCN chairman and ato kilonser.

Mulatonu pointed out that the three disciplines of the weeklong event-football, volleyball and badminton—are widely popular the world over and challenged the participants to take up sports at a professional level.

Also lamenting on how young talents hardly make it to the national or global arena, the chief guest exhorted the players that, “with determination, discipline, hard work and spirit of the game one could proceed to higher level thereby earning both livelihood and fame not5 only for self but also for the community.”

Mulatonu also took the opportunity to dwell

During the weeklong event, several teams comprising both male and female will be vying for the

titles in three disciplines namely G.B’s Trophy (Football), late Nikhekhu Memorial Volleyball (men/ women), and late Shekuto Suu Memorial Badminton Trophy (men/women).

Chekiye memorial Sania retains year-end World No. 1 rank Cilic claims the Swiss Indoors title football trophy cum

Marin Cilic overpowered Kei Nishikori in straight sets on Sunday to win the Swiss Indoors title.

Basel, Oct 31 (Agencies): Marin Cilic beat Kei Nishikori in straight sets to win the Swiss Indoors title, a repeat of their 2014 US Open final meeting. The fourth-seeded Croat raced through the first set in 25 minutes on his way to a 6-1 7-6 (7-5) victory.

Nishikori, the thirdseeded Japanese, wasted three set-point chances at 5-4, then double-faulted when Cilic held a second match point.

Cilic’s second title of

the season strengthened his hold on the last qualifying place for the ATP Tour Finals in London.

“Well done for Kei, but tough luck today,” Cilic said. “It was a very close match. I played well. I had pressure all week fighting to qualify for London. But it was a great week for me, I played some good tennis.”

“I feel great, it was a tough week, there was a lot at stake. I came up with some great tennis despite the pressure.”

Cilic, who was win-

ning his 16th career title from 27 finals, added “I now have the first 500 series title in my career. I’m adding it to all my other trophies. It shows me that I’m in a good way, I’m playing very well.”

Ranked No 12 coming to Basel, Cilic rose above Tomas Berdych in the points race. The Finals week line-up is decided at the Paris Masters starting Monday.

Sunday’s final was the first Basel title match in a decade that did not feature hometown favourite Roger Federer.

Nishikori, who already knows that he is on his way to London for the third straight year, refused to make excuses after his defeat.

“I didn’t feel I was in there all the time. If I could have won the second set, maybe something would have changed,” he said.

“In the end, I didn’t feel comfortable and didn’t feel the balls well today. It was a combination of his good tennis and the fact that I was not at 100 per cent. In the second set it was close, I had a couple of set points but couldn’t convert.”
