NEW DELHI, NOV 28 (AGENCIES): Opposition parties took to the streets all over the country on Monday to denounce the scrapping of high value currency but the protests were largely symbolic barring in a few states.

Monday also saw the first two instances of vandalization, in Manipur, of banks by clients after they were stopped from withdrawing Rs 24,000 citing a cash crunch (See full report p-4).

The Left called a ‘Bharat Bandh’ against both the November 8 demonetisation and the widespread currency shortage. Most other political parties marked it as “Aakrosh Diwas”.

Life was badly hit in

Longon calls on Health minister

Left-ruled Kerala and Tripura while Left activists partly halted rail and road traffic in Bihar. The protests in West Bengal were dominated by chief minister Mamata Banerjee, who vowed to oust Prime Minister Narendra Modi from politics.

“I appeal to everybody, take a vow -- either I will die or live, but remove Modi from politics. There is no place for dictators like you, Modi babu,” Mamata told a massive rally in Kolkata.

She asked Modi to take back his “disastrous decision” of banning Rs 500 and 1,000 notes, saying it had caused widespread misery and some 80 deaths in the country.

This is it!

Normal life was crippled in Tripura in response to a 12-hour shutdown called by the Left that shut government and private offices, educational institutions and shops. The shutdown appeared to be total in Kerala. Only private vehicles plied, offices saw minimal attendance and normal life was crippled. In Kerala too, banks were allowed to remain open.

The strike evoked a mixed response in Bihar.

Normal life was hit in some rural areas, but urban areas were largely unaffected.

Train and road traffic was disrupted in some places.

The RJD and Congress did not join the shutdown

Punjab jailbreak: KLF chief arrested in Delhi

J.P. Nadda with P. Longon

NEW DELHI, NOV 28 (NPN): Union Health Minister, J.P. Nadda Monday met Nagaland Health minister, P, Longon and discussed “pivotal” issues concerning expansion of National Health Mission (NHM) in Nagaland. Nadda also reviewed various aspects regarding establishment of Nagaland Medical College and Tertiary Cancer Care Centre in Kohima.

In his tweet, Nadda said: “Met Sh. P. Longon, Health Minister of Nagaland. Discussed pivotal issues concerning the expansion of National Health Mission in #Nagaland”.

“Reviewed the matters relating to establishment of Nagaland Med. College & Tertiary Cancer Care Centre at Kohima,” he wrote in the microblogging site. Nadda said the Centre is committed to the “holistic” development of all northeastern states.

“NDA government & @ MoHFW_INDIA is committed to holistic development of NE,” he tweeted.

Harminder Singh Mintoo

NEW DELHI, NOV 28 (AGENCIES): In a swift operation, chief of Khalistan Liberation Front (KLF) militant outfit Harminder Singh Mintoo was arrested here last night within hours of his escape from Nabha jail in Punjab, with Delhi Police saying he was planning to flee abroad, to Malaysia or Germany.

However, high alert continued in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi as about 12 armed dreaded fugitives are still at large. Two cars used

by them in the escape have been found in Haryana’s Kaithal district.

48-year-old Mintoo was nabbed from Nizamuddin railway station’s parking area, marking the second arrest in the sensational jailbreak case of yesterday morning in which 8 people stormed the prison to free six inmates.

Earlier, Parminder alias Penda was arrested yesterday in Shamli district of UP, few hours after the jailbreak.

Mintoo, accused in 10 terror cases, was in touch with terror groups in Pakistan, Punjab DGP Suresh Arora said.

Mintoo was carrying a sophisticated semi-automatic pistol along with six live cartridges when he was arrested, Arvind Deep, Special Commissioner of Delhi Police’s Special Cell, told reporters.

but staged protests. The JD-U of chief minister Nitish Kumar kept itself away from both the strike and demonstrations.

In New Delhi, the Congress described the demonetisation as the “biggest scam in independent India” and asked Modi to apologise for the “mess” he had created. Spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said “Modi has brought the entire country to a standstill and demonetised the whole country”.

In Chennai, police arrested DMK leader M.K. Stalin, state Congress President S. Thirunavukkarasar and CPI-M leader G. Ramakrishnan along with their supporters. But life was oth-

erwise normal in the state.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the scheme had flopped vis-avis its stated objectives. “The entire scheme is a flop,” he said, adding Modi’s ego had put the entire nation into misery and pushed back the economy by a decade in just 20 days.

The ‘Bharat Bandh’ evoked little support in Uttar Pradesh, where both the BSP and the ruling Samajwadi Party are bitter critics of demonetisation.

Samajwadi Party workers protested on rail tracks in Allahabad and Kanpur.

“The BJP says the opposition has called a Bharat Bandh but the fact is the BJP itself has done a Bharat Bandh by demonetising high currency notes,” BSP leader Mayawati said. In Odisha, opposition activists staged noisy protests in many cities and towns. But the ruling BJD has welcomed the demonetisation move.

Led by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, leaders from the Congress, CPI-M, CPI, DMK and RJD protested outside Parliament. Both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha were again adjourned on Monday.

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 8 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) on Monday joined the nationwide protest by non-BJP political parties against demonetisation here at Supermarket, demanding monetisation of Rs.500 and 1000 notes till new notes are sufficiently supplied and opening of banking facilities in rural areas.

Hundreds of party workers and well wishers, veteran party leaders were present. The party workers were seen holding placards and some of which read-- “Monetise Rs.5001000 notes,” “Allow schools and hospitals to accept all notes,” and “Open service bank in rural areas” etc.

NPCC members hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government for its “disastrous” demonetisation move which they

said had brought untold sufferings especially to the common man.

The speakers also took a dig at the BJP government, not only for rendering Rs.1000/500 notes illegal, but also for the conspicuous lack of planning and execution. The whole process has created chaos in every part of the country resulting in the deaths of many.

Insufficient lower de-

nomination notes, non-availability of ‘change’ for Rs. 2000, lack of banking facilities in rural areas, inability to purchase essential commodities due to withdrawal limits etc were, among other things, some of the concerns raised by the speakers.

NPCC president K. Therie in his address lambasted the move saying it was a “disaster” which has burdened the common pub-

lic in numerous ways.

He accused Modi of failing to fulfil his election promises on the issue of black money and added that demonetisation was just a sham to cover up his unsuccessful attempts to bring back black money from offshore accounts.

Therie maintained that no person in their right mind would implement such “egoistic diktat” which

He however acknowledged that adopting IT and e-governance at the initial stages would be difficult since it requires changes in working system.

Minister Transport, IT&C P. Paiwang Konyak highlighted the achievements of the department and said the core infrastructure project under the national e-governance Plan (NeGP) being implemented by the department consists of the state data centre, state wide Area Network, State Portal & state delivery gateway, capacity building and common service centre.

Sources informed that OPD complex and main hospital project come under the North Eastern Council (NEC) and based on that new construction was approved by the Central government.

Sources maintained said that unless the demolition was carried out soon the time period of the project would also elapse.

Pointing out that the old building was ill-defined in its structure, sources said it should therefore be demolished so new construction could be taken up at the earliest.

Sources also expressed concern that unless the old building was demolished, it would continue to be used as a hub for anti-social activities like public littering and immoral activities.

It may be mentioned that the new complex constructed under NEC project consist of clinical laboratory, laboratory for RNTCP, biochemistry laboratory, antiretrovirus and MRT. The ground floor comprises of X ray room, ultra sound, ECG, MO emergency room, nurses duty room, four casualty rooms, dispensary room etc.

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 8 (NPN): Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) urged upon state chief secretary (CS) to restore original status of State Vigilance Commission (SVC) at the earliest in line with the judgment and order of the Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench passed on November 22.

The Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench after considering all aspects of the matter set aside and quashed the impugned resolution dated June 8, 2016 of the state government that modified all previous resolution and notifications concerning SVC. PIL was filed by Theja Therieh, convenor, SVC and chairman media cell, NTC; Zhovehu Lohe, advisor NTC and Er. Talituba Sanglir, member SVC challenging the validity of the government resolution dated June 8, 2016.

has not just inconvenienced the common man but has caused deaths in several cases.

Therie also took a jibe at the leadership acumen of Modi, saying “he should know that black money is not with common people but with people in position-- big corporations, mafias etc.”

Therie also termed Modi’s ‘cashless society’ slogan a ridiculous proposition pointing out how very few shops in Nagaland accept cards.

Later, a representation signed by NPCC president and party workers addressed to the President of India was submitted through Deputy Commissioner’s office, Dimapur.

Meanwhile, Kohima District Congress Committee also staged a rally in Kohima and later submitted a memorandum to the President of India through DC Kohima.

IMPHAL, Nov 28: Protests were Monday staged at the headquarters of four Naga dominated hill districts in Manipur demanding immediate unconditional release of arrested UNC president and publicity secretary.

The protests near the DC offices of Tamenglong, Ukhrul, Chandel and Senapati were staged responding to reported call from the UNC. The UNC had had set 48-hour deadline to release their president Gaidon Kamei and publicity secretary Stephen Sankhui, who were arrested by Manipur police on November 25 last.

Reports culled out from the four district headquarters said that people supporting the cause of the UNC

gathered in front of the DC offices of their respective districts and carried out the protest.

At Senapati district headquarters, the protest was staged in front of DC office under the aegis of the UNC, NPO and ANSAM with a public meeting in which many civil society leaders including UNC vice president talked on various issues in the fore of the Nagas in Manipur. The UNC vice-president convinced the people taking part in the protest to remain calm and see the development until the deadline set by the UNC for the release their leaders. He further announced to continuation of the economic blockade being in force in the national highways passing through the Naga inhabited areas of

the state which had entered 28th days on Monday.

President of Zeliangrong Baudi Manipur Thomas Kamei read out the memorandum before the participants before submitting to DC. Leaders of various civil societies based in the district asserted that Nagas particularly Zeliangrong people were not against the creation of Saddar Hill and Jiribam districts but against inclusion of “Naga ancestral land” in the creation of the districts.

Congress protest against note ban

Shillong, Nov 28 (PTI): Ruling Congress in Meghalaya today staged a demonstration against demonetisation even as the Left-sponsored bandh on the issue did not evoke any response here. State Congress President and former Chief Minister D D Lapang led the protest along with senior workers of the party wherein about 200 of them gathered at Dhanketi point here.

The demonstrators raised slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and held placards condemning demonetisation.

In his short address, Lapang said Modi’s idea may have been good but the time, the system and the non-preparation of the NDA government has caused problems at grassroot level and added that they were not supporting black money.

He said a lot of parents were not able to cope up with the expenses at schools. Festival and marriages would be hit the hardest. Congress will continue with its protest and a poster campaign will be launched tomorrow in the entire state, party sources said.

Bank can sell mortgaged properties to non-tribals: SC

Agartala, Nov 28 (Agencies): There is no restriction on banks in Tripura to sell properties mortgaged to them to non-tribals for realization of their dues, the Supreme Court has ruled as it upheld the primacy of a central law over a state act which said such assets could be sold only to people belonging to schedule tribes.

A bench of Justices Ranjan Gogoi and A M Sapre set aside the order of Tripura High Court which had said that Tripura Land Revenue and Land Reforms Act, 1960, would prevail and cancelled the notification of auction of properties issued by UCO Bank. “The dominant legislation being the Parliamentary legislation, the provisions of the Tripura Act of 1960, pro tanto (to that extent) (Section 187) would be invalid,” said Supreme court, adding, “It is the provisions of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act of 2002, which do not contain any embargo on the category of persons to whom mortgaged property can be sold by the bank for realisation of its dues that will prevail over the provisions contained in Section 187 of the Tripura Act of 1960.”

The bench said that the Act passed by Parliament in 2002 is related to the entry of banking which is included in List I of the Seventh Schedule. “Sale of mortgaged property by a bank is an inseparable and integral part of the business of banking. The object of the State Act, as already noted, is an attempt to consolidate the land revenue law in the State and also to provide measures of agrarian reforms.

Besides, every year NEC gives Rs 3 crore to Border Roads Organisation, Rs 47 crore to Alliance Air as Viability Gap Funding for operating flights in loss making routes and Rs 100 crore to North Eastern Region Community Resource Management Project for sustainable livelihood programme, he added.

“So practically, we are left with only Rs 600 crore in this fiscal. Out of this amount, around 70 per cent goes to ongoing projects or to clear liabilities, which currently stands at Rs 2,100 crore,” he said.

That means, only 30 per cent of Rs 600 crore is left for new projects and this amount needs to be divided between eight states,” Muivah added.

Singh said it was clear that nobody was questioning the government’s intentions over demonetisation or imputing any malafide.

Even as he was speaking, opposition members trooped into the Well and shouted slogans.

Amid the din, Singh said the government is ready for a discussion and willing to listen to the complaints and suggestions different parties have over the execution of the demonetisation move.

“As far as the Prime Minister coming to the House is concerned, if the Opposition wants he will come and intervene,” Singh said, assuring the Opposition.

The decision regarding the rule under which the debate should take place is for the Speaker to make, he said.

He termed demonetisation as a “historic, bold and pro-poor” decision taken to target black money and in national interest.

However, as the uproar continued, Speaker adjourned the House till 2 pm.

“This is a case which gives a test for criminal jurisprudence on the concept of fair trial and witness protection,” a bench of justices Dipak Misra and Amitava Roy said while also favouring all the pending criminal cases in Bihar to Delhi.

Mamata threatens to protest outside Modi’s house

KO L K ATA , N OV 2 8 (IANS): Intensifying her attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday threatened to stage a demonstration outside his residence against demonetisation and vowed to remove him from politics, saying there was no place for “dictators” like him in a democracy.

“I appeal to everybody, take a vow -- either I will die or live, but remove Modi from politics. There is no place for dictators like you, Modi babu. This is a democratic country,” Banerjee told a huge rally here against the demonetisation move of November 8.

need be, I will demonstrate outside Modi’s house,” she said.

Going all guns blazing against Modi, Banerjee likened him to 14th century Delhi Sultan Mohammed bin Tughlaq.

“This is a Tughlaqi fiat. Even Hitler had not taken such a step.”

Banerjee said had she been in Modi’s chair, she would have not taken such a step. “And even if I had made such a mistake, I would have taken my decision back.”

She alleged that every person protesting against the move was being threatened by central agencies, and even newspaper owners were not spared.

the hearing for tomorrow and asked the advocates to come prepared on the point of transfer of cases and accused to Delhi from Siwan.

At the outset, senior advocate Shekhar Naphade appearing for Shahabuddin said the petition filed by wife of a journalist who was killed in May has sought his transfer out of the jail in Siwan.

He said that the plea is an interested litigation and is politically motivated and just because there are allegations he should not be transferred.

To this the bench said that for the concept of fair trial he can be transferred out of Siwan jail.

Naphade said it will be unfair on his part as he will lose the visitation rights.

“We are not saying you do not have any visitation rights but we have to weigh a balance somewhere,” the bench said.

The senior lawyer then said that there are no allegation against him and the only allegation is that police was not acting against me.

Asked if they will contest the upcoming polls, Navjot Kaur and former Hockey Olympian Pargat Singh said they have joined the party unconditionally and will abide with whatever the party leadership decided.

Both were, however, ready to contest from their respective Amritsar East and Jalandhar Cantt as-

sembly seats.

To a question the Congress’ Jaipur resolution that new entrants should have a colling off period, Amarinder said the “Congress President will take a final call on this issue”.

Navjot and Pargat had met the party’s top leadership last week and later met Amarinder before sealing the deal.

Country already cashless: Sibal NEW DELHI, NOV 28 (PTI): A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi pitched for a cashless society, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal today took a dig at him, saying the country has already become “cashless” due to demonetisation.

He said the dream of India becoming a cashless society could only come true if there is institutional framework or arrangements to support it. “If there are no arrangements in place, then how will this dream realise?” he wondered. “There have to be arrangements first...

In this country, over 70 crore people are earning Rs 10,000 a month (who cannot deposit the amount in banks), what will they do?

“There are no ATMs, no banks, no branches, people need to walk upto 20 kms...

The country has already become a cashless society as the people don’t have cash with them at the moment,” Sibal said.

BJP leads in Maha municipal polls MUMBAI, NOV 28 (PTI): BJP today emerged as a major gainer in the first phase of municipal council polls winning 39 municipal chief ’s posts of the 147 urban local bodies, dealing a blow to Congress and NCP in the keenly fought elections, whose campaign centred around issues like demonetisation.

Trends and results pouring in from around the state showed the BJP making inroads into the Congress and NCP strongholds.

Polls were also held for 17 nagar panchayats on Sunday.

As per the trends available till late afternoon, BJP is ahead with its candidates winning 455 seats, its ally Shiv Sena with 187, NCP 231 and Congress 333.

In the last elections, BJP tally was 298, Sena 264, Congress 771 and NCP 916.

However, in Parli municipal council in Beed district, Women and Child Development Minister Pankaja Munde of the BJP was outsmarted by her cousin and NCP leader Dhananjay Munde.

The panel backed by Dhananjay, leader of oppo-

sition in Legislative Council, won 27 of the total 33 seats in Parli.

“I accept the people’s verdict. I will analyse what went wrong and what led people to give this verdict,” Pankaja said.

Elections to 147 municipal councils and 17 nagar panchayats across 25 districts in Maharashtra were seen as ‘mini’ Assembly polls and a test of popularity of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who led the BJP’s campaign to extend his party’s influence in the rural areas, where Congress and NCP has held sway for long.

Fadnavis, who entered third year in office heading the first BJP-led government

in the state, had addressed around 50 poll rallies.

As many as 15,826 candidates were in the fray for 3,705 seats spread over the municipal councils and nagar panchayats, where voting was held yesterday in the first phase with around 70 per cent of the electorate exercising its franchise.

Polling was also held for municipal council presidents post in 147 places for which 1,013 candidates were in the race.

In all, 212 civic bodies, comprising municipal councils and nagar panchayats, are going to polls in four phases. The next rounds of voting are scheduled on December 14, December 18, and January 8.

NEW DELHI, NOV 28 (PTI): For the 8th straight day, Opposition stalled Parliament over demonetisation today, even as the government sought to break the logjam by promising that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will speak on the issue if a debate takes place.

Functioning of both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha was disrupted, leading to their premature adjournment for the day.

Rajya Sabha saw three adjournments between 11 am and 2 pm, before the final adjournment for the day. Lok Sabha was adjourned twice before being adjourned till tomorrow at 2.10 pm.

In the Lok Sabha, a number of Opposition leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge (Cong), Sudip Bandhopadhyay (TMC) and Mulayam Singh Yadav (SP), pressed for acceptance of their demand for an Adjournment Motion and debate under a rule that entails voting. They also demanded presence of the Prime Minister during the debate.

In response, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the Prime Minister will speak on demonetisation if the Opposition wanted but

demonetisation had harmed the economic system, the farmers, youths, labourers and women among others who are in distress.

The Congress leader said over 70 people have died due to the faulty implementation of demonetisation decision.

He cited the incident of a Union Minister facing difficulty in paying hospital bills after his brother died and said it was an evidence of the extent of the crisis.

He was referring to Sadanand Gowda who faced the problem.

“There is only one way to break this deadlock.

The Prime Minister should come to the House and the opposition’s adjournment motion should be accepted,” he said.

Bandhopadhyay of Trinamool said the government must take initiative to break the impasse as people will ask what does Parliament stand for, if it is adjourned everyday.

Supporting Kharge, Mulayam Singh said if Modi does not come to the House on such an important matter, then when he will come.

Farmers are facing a lot of problems, he said.

Jai Prakash Narayan Yadav (RJD) called the decision impractical and anti-people.

An AIADMK member said the government should take initiative to ease people’s sufferings, while B Mahtab (BJD) said the onus was on the Centre to take steps to break the impasse.

Anandrao Adsul of BJP ally Shiv Sena targeted opposition parties, saying neither ‘Bharat Bandh’ nor ‘Aakrosh Diwas’, which different parties had announced for today, was visible.

Tourism reality check

C

ome December and the government of Nagaland’s calendar during the first week will be totally filled with so many programmes to celebrate the Hornbill Festival, a mega event that has come to symbolise the annual carnival of Nagaland. Hornbill Festival is being celebrated as a festival of festivals , to showcase Naga culture, arts and handicrafts with the objective of promoting culture tourism. These measures are note worthy in the light of the fact that today, today tourism is a global industry which is growing at a phenomenal rate. The variety of programmes that seem to be undergoing evolution, reflect the imagination of those involved with the planning.

On their part, from the chief minister and down to all heads of departments to the selected and privileged lot involved with the programmes, nothing is being left to chance in order to ensure a successful celebration. Tourism in Nagaland is still yet to show a sustained growth except for the rush during December during the Hornbill Festival.

Promoting tourism needs more than organizing a mega event. In a small country like Singapore, which is one third the size of Nagaland, more than six million or sixty lakh tourists visit it annually.

Nagaland, on the other hand attracts just a meager two or three lakh tourists each year and that too restricted within the ten-day Hornbill Festival.

Nagaland has its own attraction offered by the natural landscape However, the scenic spots in the state tell a tale of neglect. The state of these highly prized assets point to a lack of sensitivity towards making our environment healthy. River beds are littered with broken bottles while plastic containers or bags of every shape and colour, are strewn around places by the uncaring litterbags. The state’s natural environment cannot be ignored or take for granted. Damage to the environment reflects a confused priority since it is the backbone of eco-tourism. Agri-tourism, which is also one among many other facest of the attractions offered by Thailand, can become a special beneficiary in the development of tourism and travel industry. In this regard, the concept requires establishing agri museums, agriculture related festivals and fairs including farmers’ markets. Agri museums will have the benefits for farm vacations, heritage trails, farm tours and farm activities. Infrastructures such as road, power, connectivity and lodging are important ingredients for encouraging tourism. Road and power sectors should be accorded top-most priority so as to generate the feeling of genuine tourism spirit.

The hotel industry has been growing but not at a desired pace and quality. Hotels get overbooked during Hornbill Festival and many are compelled to backpack. While road and power infrastructures fall within the state’s domain, connectivity by air, rail and road come under the centre’s domain.

Air connectivity to Nagaland is through the only airport at Dimapur. As commented in this column years ago, there is urgent and dire need to have at least five long distance trains from Dimapur railway station. Considering the fact, that Dimapur railway station is the second highest revenue earner for the NFR, the demand is rational, just and deserving. Tourism and Hornbill are symbiotically related and can help boos tourist trade if only a holistic view is taken. The deficit-laden state also has to think of privatizing tourism through PPP to enable its sustenance.

DailyDevotion The Riches of the Destitute …being justified freely by His grace… —Romans 3:24

The gospel of the grace of God awakens an intense longing in human souls and an equally intense resentment, because the truth that it reveals is not palatable or easy to swallow. There is a certain pride in people that causes them to give and give, but to come and accept a gift is another thing. I will give my life to martyrdom; I will dedicate my life to service— I will do anything. But do not humiliate me to the level of the most hell-deserving sinner and tell me that all I have to do is accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

We have to realize that we cannot earn or win anything from God through our own efforts. We must either receive it as a gift or do without it. The greatest spiritual blessing we receive is when we come to the knowledge that we are destitute. Until we get there, our Lord is powerless. He can do nothing for us as long as we think we are sufficient in and of ourselves. We must enter into His kingdom through the door of destitution. As long as we are “rich,” particularly in the area of pride or independence, God can do nothing for us. It is only when we get hungry spiritually that we receive the Holy Spirit.

The gift of the essential nature of God is placed and made effective in us by the Holy Spirit. He imparts to us the quickening life of Jesus, making us truly alive.

He takes that which was “beyond” us and places it “within” us. And immediately, once “the beyond” has come “within,” it rises up to “the above,” and we are lifted into the kingdom where Jesus lives and reigns (see John 3:5).

Quotes

Thought is the unconscious and unceasing language of the mind. ~ James Lendall Basford

I

t is extraordinary that a religion claiming to be completely based on ahimsa should be the reason for the extinction of our national bird, the peacock.

The peacock is the only bird whose feathers are allowed to be sold – and this became a part of the Wildlife Protection Act 1972 – solely because the Jains put so much pressure on the Congress party and Smt. Indira Gandhi. So, shops came up selling feathers and other people started buying the easily available feathers.

Subsequently, every study and raid by wildlife departments showed that these feathers could only have come from the bird being killed. A demand rose for this exception in the Act to be removed.

During Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee’s time, the Act came to Parliament for this amendment. I sat for a long time with the Prime Minister who was an eminently sensitive human being. I showed him the data on peacocks disappearing from most of India and what the various raids had uncovered.

He agreed to ban the sale of feathers. Shri Pramod Mahajan entered the room.

In a very loud voice he insisted that the party would lose the entire Jain vote because the Digambara monks were very upset at the idea of peacock feathers being banned. The Prime Minister ordered the amendment to be withdrawn.

A third try was made in 2013 during Shri Jairam Ramesh’s time. Again it failed because the Jain

community sent a million threatening messages and, as usual, the politicians backed off. Better to lose the national bird than to lose a single vote – even if it is the vote of monks who do not vote.

The Jains are not stupid or ignorant – far from it.

They know that silk is made of dead butterflies and silver varakh, till July 2016, was made with the intestines of cows and buffaloes. But they continue to use both.

They will eat vegetarian food – but none of them is vegan even though they know that the cow is forced to give milk, suffers when she loses her own baby to slaughter and two years later is killed herself. They know that peacock feathers come from murdered birds, but their monks insist on owning tails made of feathers, so they allow this bird to be killed. Like every religion, Jainism has millions of adherents who claim to aspire to ahimsa but are hinsak in their day to day living.

What do they claim?

That the feathers are made from naturally shed feathers. That has never been true. The peacock sheds one feather every month.

No one is going to pick up that single feather and sell it. Peacocks don’t live in large groups so there is no question of one place having hundreds of shed feathers.

That single feather is eaten almost immediately by other creatures who get calcium from the spine.

The Jains are basically businessmen. So they know that to do commerce, one

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, November 29, 2016

Saving the peacock needs a steady and large supply. And like the skin of one dead cow in some remote village cannot sustain the leather industry, the hundreds of peacock feather shops in religious places cannot be sustained by waiting for peacocks to drop solitary feathers.

The Digambar Jain munis, when they renounce the world, must have no possessions except a kamandalu (which is a tree gourd from the kamandalu tree, which has also become extremely rare because no Jains have ever planted new ones. They have simply helped themselves to the fruit so that new trees could never grow.) and a pichchi which is a small broom to sweep an area where the Muni sits.

At some point the Munis decided that the broom should be made of colourful and rich peacock feathers.

And now this utilitarian cleaning item has become an important ritual of the religion itself – a religion that was supposed to be a reaction to elaborate Brahmanical ritual.

Over the years it has become even worse. The number of Jain munis has grown and so more peacock feathers are needed. At the

same time, because of deforestation and sustained killing the number of peacocks has shrunk. Because it is legal to buy peacock feathers, many foreign tourists also buy them quite happily.

The items that Jain ascetics carry around are known as upadhi or upakaraṇa. It is important to understand that these are not possessions of the monks and nuns, because the principle of non-attachment or non-possession – aparigraha – is a crucial one for Jain mendicants. They do not own these items, which are given to them, and they must avoid feelings of attachment or possession towards them.

Mendicants are given them as – dana – by lay people.

But now, the Digambar munis have become so attached to these brooms that they want a new one every year. So a new tradition called Pichchi parivartan samaroh has started in which the old pichchi is thrown away, after really elaborate ceremonies, and another even more grand pichchi is presented to the muni by his devotees. Something like getting a new sari at Diwali every year or presents at Christmas.

It would be quite sim-

ple for the Muni to check whether the feather has been naturally shed or not. A naturally shed feather would be whole and have a tapering white funnel. A feather that has been taken from a killed bird always has this funnel cut because, while removing it forcibly, it fills with blood.

Every Jain pichchi has half cut stalks.

Swetambar munis use cotton or pichchis called rajoharanas or Oghas. And none of them are attached to their brooms. Digambara monks made their own sect to emphasise that they were sky clad. They do not wear any clothes as it is considered to be parigraha (possession), which ultimately leads to attachment. So munis who are not attached to clothes are fanatic about their brooms?

I was at a friend’s house and we talked about the idea of renunciation. She told me the story of how a monk was celebrated because he was so detached from the world. He owned nothing but a small pot for drinking water and washing in. But one day when the pot rolled away he scrambled after it so hard and so desperately that he fell and hurt his knees.

Ownership is ownership.

The Digambara monks of Jainism need to be actually disconnected from all things.

Having less or more is irrelevant if one is attached to even one thing. The peacock feather pichchi has become a symbol of their attachment to all the things on Earth. Simply knowing the scriptures does not make a religious or spiritual leader

– specially in Jainism where non-attachment to all things, even clothes, is revered. We all look up to the ideal Jain monk, but where is he? For one feather tail he encourages the death of millions of birds, because he refuses to let this tail go.

Instead of understanding what I am saying, no doubt the Digambar sect will again rally round and make a noise. So, I will say michchhami dukham for causing any hurt. But who will say michchhami dukham to the spirits of all the thousands of dead peacocks.

Of the 28 mūla guņas (primary attributes), the first is Ahimsa : not to injure any living being through actions or thoughts. Number 5 is Aparigraha, the renunciation of all worldly things.

Brooms are not listed as an exception. Number 2 is to speak and acknowledge the truth – which is that their brooms are causing extinction of an entire species.

Number 9 is Adan-nishep, the careful handling of possessions- not the discarding and replacement of brooms every year. Whether it is Pratikhayan (renunciation) or Kayotsarga, all the 28 lead directly to the giving up of attachment to all worldly things. If the purpose of the peacock broom is to save the lives of small insects by sweeping them away, what about saving the life of the peacock itself and changing to cotton or even to plant stalks.To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@ nic.in,www.peopleforanimalsindia.org

Kohima: The smacked city

he capital of Nagaland, the Kohima town, deserves better treatment than what it has been receiving during the decades. “Is Kohima Nagaland?” used to become the question of people from other parts of Nagaland as to why the Govt. of Nagaland (not the present Govt.) spent so much money for Kohima town disproportionately at the cost of the interest of other areas in the State. At times there may not be satisfactory reply to such question so raised. The fact is that had the targeted developments been accomplished commensurately as per the amount of funds provided, the roads in Kohima would have been much better, water supply would have become more available, the sanitation should have become less embarrassing, the landslide prone zones would have been mitigated and the overall management of the town would have been more efficient.

The Kohima town requires few basic infrastructures to make it worth calling the Capital of the State of Nagaland.

1. Kohima roads: The present day leaders, be it politicians or bureaucrats, lack sense of shame at the way the Capital roads are left to be in deterioration. The citizens of Kohima are made to suffer from bad road is one thing and the visitors from outside the State to see nothing worth calling road but mule tracks in the State Capital is another. To those visitors, the first two impressions which none will not forget to share with friends on return from Kohima are the town roads and the sanitation.

The subject matter experts know better as to how one can construct a lasting blacktopped road in a hilly and unstable terrain and heavy rain prone area like Kohima. In my layman’s view, blacktopping alone cannot make a road a lasting all weather road. Prior to investment on blacktopping, the basic foundations as proper drainage, cross drain, retaining and protection walls are firstly provided.

Without these basics, blacktopping is just a whitewash that becomes a wastage of investment.

At this rate, we will continue to reel under paucity

of fund for improvement of Kohima town roads. It is therefore better to take up road repair in Kohima town in phase manner in the sense that when repaired it should be of lasting workmanship.

2. The Drinking Water: Quite some time ago, GOI provided fund for Kohima town water supply augmentation. Huge money was spent on purchase of CI pipes for the project and even those pipes were dumped all along the road. In the midst, with lame excuse, the pipes were collected and took it down to Dimapur and later reportedly disposed off at depreciated rate. The failure to successfully implement the said project became road block to subsequent proposals for the same as the concerned Union Ministry was disappointed.

Those Kohimaians who enjoy requisite amount of water in Kohima town do not know the hardships of others who have to undergo scarcity of drinking water during every lean season of the year. It is said people spend more money on purchase of water than on house rent in Kohima. Having money or not, one cannot survive without water. Even at the cost of School children fee one has to purchase water.

The State Govt. is expected to appreciate the plight of Kohimaians as there is no dearth of good water source around Kohima.

3. Medical facilities: The State of Nagaland has crossed half a century in age.

Be it the Govt. hospitals or private hospitals, we cannot go on referring the medical cases to outside the State for want of technological equipments or specialists for diagnosis and treatment. The people deserve to have better facilities and at cheaper rates for both diagnosis and treatment.

4. Nagaland is as very fragile and inefficient as India in monitoring the poisonous consumable items be it cereal or meat in the market.

The consumers are naturally ignorant about the quality and validity of those items they consume. These days, the traders use all kinds of chemicals for preservation of their items at the cost of human health. The meat of dead animals or diseased animals are on sale in the market Reader’s note: Articles or letters published in

from time to time without any authority to check or ban it. Those authorities who are supposed to be the watchdog over spurious items on sale in the market are nonexistent.

The manipulation of weighing scale through intimidation particularly at meat shops in Kohima is a regular practice. The KMC has its responsibility to ensure honest and transparent scaling worth the money of the buyer. The KMC has duty to oversee the exorbitant rates of vegetables and other items in Kohima markets are under control.

If there is KMC collecting taxes from the public, so reciprocate in not allowing the private traders from imposing their private rates of their items on the consumers. The Kohimaians deserve essential commodities at cheaper rates than what they are forced to spend on items nor worth their money.

To me, the above four issues are most basic requirements than those hi-fi gadgets proposed by concerned authorities as items for Kohima Smart city as publicized.

While the ink of congratulatory notes for Chief Minister TR Zeliang by groups on the selection of Kohima town as Smart City in the second group was yet to get fully dried, the Kohimaians were smacked

by State Govt. that for want of 50% matching grant the project cannot be carried out. I understand the inability of the State Govt. to contribute 50% of its share towards making Kohima a Smart City when it has not been paying its employees for months together for want of 10% share contribution under semi-CSS schemes. The GOI may not contribute 100% to make Kohima a smart City by exempting Nagaland for the reason that Kohimaians are being unique.

The attempt of Nagaland Govt. to convert Kohima town into a smart city along with several other cities in India and the inability to meet the condition of 50:50 share contribution ratio will go down into the annals of smart city history except that the Kohimaians will remain enjoying the same old rugged facilities as one of the most expensive places in the country under Kohima Smacked City.

Women’s reservation: a suggestion

W

ith all the furore created by the Women’s Reservation Bill, it takes a foolhardy person to enter into an argument which has such vocal proponents, both for and against the bill. I dislike sticking my nose into issues which affect certain sections of the population but I feel it is the duty of every right thinking citizen to offer opinions which he/she believes to be in the best interests of all; so I’ll take the risk of getting a bloody nose and stick said nose into the issue.

I’ll begin by stating that I’m against the bill, not because I believe that women should be second class citizens but because it is another illegitimate child of the Congress(I) party and their vote bank politics. I have always supported the Congress party but I believe that the Nehru/Gandhi(not the Mahatma) family is responsible for nearly all the ills that affect Modern India. Mr. Jonah Achumi has rightly pointed out that if the aim of the Bill was really social justice, women should have been given 50% reservation.

But no, the Congress party wanted to have their cake and eat it, i.e. they wanted to capture the female vote and, at the same time, try to keep the males from going up in arms. But as with all such ill-conceived attempts, they have managed to anger all.

Various suggestions have been put forward to overcome the impasse and all have the have been noteworthy. The one that I feel has been gaining ground is the proposal for 1/3 of the councillors to be nominated, with the nominated members having full voting rights. Theoretically, this seems the best way to overcome the various objections, both for and against the bill; but I beg to disagree, for we all know what the

political class in Nagaland is like and we will see a massive surge in the population of CHAMCHAS (sycophants) and a widening of the scope for nepotism, cronyism and favouritism. I know that my opinion doesn’t matter and that I’m just howling into the wind but I’d like to suggest the following:1. Elections to all the wards in the councils should be held, as in the past, with both men and women being free to run for office.

2. Every 3(three) wards should be combined to form a super ward (for lack of a better term) wherein only women candidates will be eligible to run for office. So, in a council of 30(thirty) wards, you would have 10(ten) wards reserved for women.

I know the math does not add up(for you eggheads and nitpickers, in a constituency of 30 the percentage works out to 25% of the total councillors), but it will benefit all because the elected will have no cause for resentment, as would be the case if the women were nominated, and the women cannot complain because they are free to contest against the men.

And at the same time, it will eliminate the scope for the sickening culture of nepotism, cronyism, sycophancy and favouritism that has pervaded the Naga body politic.

I would advise all concerned, especially the women, to come to an understanding one way or the other, as early as possible because we all know that the present government hasn’t suddenly developed a conscience and decided to empower women.

Request for traffic police at the tension bridge

Sir,

The need for a traffic police or rather two is highly felt at the one-way bridge standing over the Chathe river at CIHSR, Diphupar especially during this festive season. I call it the tension bridge on two counts: firstly, it appears the bridge may come apart any day but nevertheless we brave commuters will go on betting our life on it all the same – Why, give us a thread and we will take! The body of this earnest request makes up the second count. The bridge being the shortest way connection to a large population on the east side of the river, it is in use every minute. It is nothing short of a busy highway! The vehicles that ply on this bridge in a day averages to thousands and sometimes a jam or queue stretches for more than fifty cars. The situation gets worse at night with only the lights to show the approach of vehicles, drivers can hardly make out the distance and it literally becomes a question of who will hit the bridge first and in times like this both sides end up right in the middle of the bridge to compound all the problem and time wastage. Also the bridge being over some favorite spots for picnics and parties, the side effects of the parties make their presence felt on the bridge in the form of drunk entries and lawless spirits.

Unfortunate but there are times when people come to blows; curses and red looks thrown at each other are a routine thing! The bridge stands by a hospital and no doubt its use doubles up, however, in times of medical emergencies one can only imagine the moans and tension a patient will have to endure – “so close but why is not the car moving anymore!” let the humour fade away. As a concerned citizen, it is the pain and miseries we cross each day, young and old alike, that makes up this appeal. I would like to request the rightful authority to assign two traffic policemen (one at each end) for the smooth flow of traffic.

Media as enabler of IT and e-governance

KOHIMA, NOV 28 (NPN): The afternoon session of the e-Naga Summit underway in Kohima was held under the topic “Can Media Be An Enabler In Promoting IT And e-Governance”.

Journalists from various organisations shared their views during the session on the role of media for promoting Nagaland as IT hub and for e-governance.

At the brainstorming session, Reporter of IANS Rupesh Dutta expressed the belief that the media can play an important role in making Nagaland as an IT hub of the North East as was done for Hyderabad and Bengaluru which have today emerged as IT centres of India. The IANS reporter said both local and national media need to highlight the potential of Nagaland as an IT hub so that the government can lure investment firms from India and abroad. Further Dutta said the Centre’s Act East Policy involving the North Eastern states as channel for the socio-economic development of the nation, could only succeed with proper media

highlight and participation.

He opined that media can help Nagaland achieve its potential in the IT sector so as to create more job and employment opportunities in call centres. In this regard, Dutta threw the ball in the court of the media fraternity to highlight the efforts of Nagaland in becoming an IT hub in the region. Editor Eastern Mirror Wapong Longkumer termed information as empowering to empower information and that media was needed on this and also for the latter to play a major role in this regard.

Longkumer said media has to raise interest in this regard since being non-committal will not help society grow. He spoke of the fastpaced growth of technology in various fields which has led to creation of a world of technology.

Longkumer encouraged the youth who hold the future on proper usage of social media and also advocated to leverage the existing media. Senior correspondent of “The Telegraph” H. Chishi said media represented a strategic opportunity that could help

government become more transparent by providing citizens with better services and enhancing information access in a way that makes them more involved. He said the most important issue in implementing successful e-government is the citizens’ acceptance and usage, to educate and train the citizens to use the e-portal services available in the corresponding structure.

Chishi spoke on need to promote computer literacy from school level in order to achieve the desired outcome related with egovernment strategies.

Media professional, Highland Dawn Media Bob Swaggerty said government should use all forms of media to disseminate its activities and also encouraged the youth to use social media to reach out to the people.

Media was relevant to e-governance if used effectively and an outstanding tool for effective governance he said. Swaggerty insisted that online portals, websites have to be constantly updated. Administrative Staff College, India Dr. Shahaida also spoke at the discussion.

Restore original status of SVC...

IMA pitches for NPGs appealed to vacate Chukitong monitoring use Range and New Wokha village areas of antibiotics DIMAPUR: Village coun- the decision to issue this

(From p-1) Here, NTC quoting court’s order said that the notification dated 15/6/1976 which declared SVC as Police Station was still in force till date and another notification dated 9/12/1976 which directed Director of Vigilance & Anti-corruption Nagaland to act as officer in charge of the Police Station (Vigilance) also was still in force. Therefore, with the issuance of the notifications dated 15/6/1976 and 9/12/1976, the SVC has been exercising its powers and jurisdiction as provided under the appropriate statute as enacted by the Parliament.

In the light of the above, the court concluded that the State respondents could not have modified the meaning of public servant.

Furthermore, at para 18, the court had clearly stated that by an executive decision, the functions of the SVC cannot be curtailed or curbed. And as such the impugned resolution dated 8/6/2016 issued by the chief secretary was only by executive decision, and SVC already declared a Police Station and Director of Vigilance & Anti-corruption directed to act as officer in charge of Police Station (Vigilance), NTC said to curtail or curb the functions of the SVC on the basis of an executive decision was not tenable in law and the

executive cannot be allowed to tinker with the provisions of any statute passed by the Parliament. Further, the court after examining the Clause 2 & Clause 3 of the impugned resolution dated 8/6/2016, had summed up that SVC would be subjected to political and bureaucratic control and influence, which meant that chief secretary should decide whether or not the SVC would start an enquiry or investigation against the corrupt officers, NTC said. Therefore, NTC demanded necessary action from the chief secretary on the matter.

ACAUT hails judgement: ACAUT hailed the judgment of Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench in restoring the legal powers of the State Vigilance Commission (SVC) and termed the move as a significant landmark in the fights against corruption. Since, the court has directed that SVC should re-open all investigations affected prior to June 8, 2016, ACAUT media cell said the time has come for the government to realise that the “khushi-khushi days” are over.

It also lauded Nagaland Tribes Council for filing the PIL challenging the validity of the govt. resolution dated June 8, which “castrated” the powers of SVC and “reduced it to a mere facade for the government”.

Time for Nagaland govt. to digitize services: Governor (From p-1 Paiwang also highlighted the 20-point vision of the department-- to make Nagaland a IT hub through setting up of world class BPO/Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) for North Eastern region ad South East Asia, provide high internet bandwidth to every village panchayat and to transform Nagaland into a highly digital society through transparency and accountability.

In her address, the advisor to president of Estonia, Dr. Liia Hanni acknowledged the commitment of the state government to implement the ambitious e-governance initiatives with focus on IT&C infrastructure enhancement and citizen-centric government service delivery.

She said e-Nagaland initiative was a forward-looking strategy to harness the best from modern information and communication technology.

Chief secretary Panjak Kumar in his keynote address said that the state government intends to add more e-services soon. He informed that the public consultations for smart city challenge as well as vision document 2030 has been finalized and has been car-

ried out on e-platforms.

Staff of the department of IT&C presented special number while commissioner and secretary K.D Vizo proposed vote of thanks.

Resource persons from Estonia and from across the country, students and others attended the inaugural function.

Role of law makers: In the second session, advisor to the President of Estonia, Dr. Liia lauded Nagaland on recently being recognised by the Computer Society of India as the top performer on e-governance.

She said such achievement was a boost to successfully start the journey towards Digital Society.

Addressing at the eNaga summit under the topic “what role can law makers play in promoting IT and e-governance”, Dr. Liia said the government has to be strong to implement such initiative and

that leaders need to have vision with political will.

While pointing out that digital identity was a real architect in a society, Dr. Liia insisted that government install online voting for electoral process, and for which she said Nagaland would be able to achieve.

Founder of Estonia e-governance academy, Dr. Ivar Tallo said during the initial part of implementation, the role of leaders, political support for development of technologies and e-governance, funding and creation of legal framework was important.

Also speaking at the summit, NLA Speaker Chotisuh Sazo said law makers can promote good governance through information technology through various ways like-- increasing transparency, information and accountability, by facilitating accurate decision making and public par-

ticipation and by enhancing the efficient delivery of public goods and services.

He also stressed on the need for online public hearings, electronic voting, feedback systems, compliant registration, signature campaigns and participation in decision-making. He said such kinds of citizen centric services Acts needed to be adopted even in Nagaland so that ordinary citizens get basic citizen centric services on time.

Transport and IT&C m i n i s t e r, P. Pa i wa n g Konyak opined that legislators and bureaucrats must work together to promote one’s own department.

Vital departments should introduce websites and online system for the conveniences of the public and for the safety of the government, he added. Forest and Environment minister, Dr. Nicky Kire said “today we are living in an era of technology where every-

thing is information based where one has become so dependent on technology”. Though it has made life easy and comfortable, he however stressed on the need to have proper cyber laws in order to avoid misuse of technology.

RD and REPA minister, C.L John said with the Act East Policy in line, it was time for Nagaland “to unleash the potentiality by networking, collaborating and initiating innovative solutions by focusing on e-governance and IT&C as an enabler for essential transformation”.

He also said regulations are needed to keep check on misuse of technologies. Higher and Technical Education parliamentary secretary, Deo Nukhu spoke on the genesis of the department. Voicing concern like the other legislators, Nukhu also cautioned on the misuse of social media.

NEW DELHI, NOV 28 (PTI): To tackle antibiotic resistance, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) today pitched for monitoring the use of antibiotics to curb over-prescription by doctors.

“Antibiotic resistance is a global concern. We stand at the edge of an imminent ‘post-antibiotic’ era where resistant bacteria can render precious lifesaving drugs obsolete.

“Medical science is heavily dependent on antibiotics, from treating simple tetanus wounds to complex surgical procedures. If this over-usage continues, even simple infections will have the potential to be fatal. It is important that both medical and patient communities become more aware about the judicious and just use of these precious drugs,” Dr K K Aggarwal, national president-elect, IMA, said.

He said it was important to understand when the doctor or the patient is at fault as far as antibiotic usage is concerned.

P a n d e y, h o w e ve r, warned that like most of the other public sector banks, SBI’s asset quality is also likely to remain stressed, given the tepid domestic industrial activity, subdued corporate sector profitability, and high leverage in certain segments.

Individually, he said, managing a large organisation and aligning associates’ policies and asset quality recognition norms in line with its own would be a challenge.

New Delhi, Nov 28 (PTI): With bullion market reopening after 16 days today, gold prices witnessed a massive plunge of Rs 1,750 to Rs 29,400 per 10 grams in the national capital, while silver slumped by Rs 3,100 to Rs 41,600 per kg. Gold and jewellery establishments had been closed since November 11 after the Income Tax Department carried out surveys following reports of alleged profiteering and efforts at tax evasion in the wake of government’s demonetisation of move.

The survey operations were conducted on November 10 in at least four locations in Delhi-NCR region, including Dariba Kalan, Chandni Chowk and Karol Bagh.

affirming all the issue ratings on the bank’s debts.

“The affirmed rating on SBI reflects the bank’s undisputed market leadership, supported by a strong domestic franchise and high customer confidence,” S&P Global Ratings Credit Analyst Amit Pandey said, adding, these factors translate into a good funding profile for the bank. SBI’s stressed asset quality and moderate capital temper these strengths.

New Delhi, Nov 28 (PTI): India’s economy grew at 7.1 per cent in the first six months of the current financial year despite subdued growth in the world economy, Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said today.

Noting that the government has been taking steps to boost industrial production and growth, she said the country’s economy grew 7.1 per cent during April-September period of current fiscal which ends on March 31, 2017.

“Despite subdued growth in the world economy, India has maintained a GDP growth rate of 7.2 per cent in 2014-15, 7.6 per cent in 2015-16 and 7.1 per cent during April to September of 201617,” the Commerce and Industry Minister said in a written reply during Question Hour in the Lok Sabha.

further amount of 25 per cent of the tax, surcharge and penalty to be paid by March, 31 next year; and the balance amount to be paid on or before September 30, 2017.

The I-T department only yesterday issued advertisements in this regard in leading national dailies stating that non-payment of the first installment of tax and penalty by November 30 on the part of declarants will render their declaration under IDS as “invalid”.

As per official data, 64,275 declarants had disclosed an amount of Rs 65,250 crore under IDS which would yield about Rs 30,000 crore in taxes to the government.

The four-month IDS was a one-time window, beginning June, given to black money holders to declare their stash and come clean by paying 45 per cent tax and penalty.

“Accordingly, all the member banks are requested to make note of the...time schedule and as directed accept payments under IDS, 2016 up to September 30, 2017 and also for such cases the banks should not seek source of funds,” it said adding, “we request you to sensitize your branches accordingly.”

It added that the recent communication from the Central Board of Direct Taxes to the RBI, subsequently sent to the IBA for action, had said that it “has been alleged that the bank authorities are refusing to accept payment stating that since IDS, 2016 has closed on September 30, the banks cannot accept the challan beyond the date”.

The CBDT has also appended the scheme of the IDS which stipulates that a minimum amount of 25 per cent of the tax, surcharge and penalty is to be paid

as well as a surcharge called PMGK Cess at the rate of 33 per cent of tax (33 per cent of 30 per cent).

Further, the declarants have to deposit 25 per cent of the undisclosed income in a scheme to be notified by the government in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The money from the scheme would be used for projects in irrigation, housing, toilets, infrastructure, primary education, primary health and livelihood so that there is justice and equality, said the Statement of Objects and Reasons of the Bill.

For those who continue to hold onto undisclosed cash and are caught, existing provisions of the Income Tax law will be amended to provide for a flat 60 per cent tax plus a surcharge of 25 per cent of tax (15 per cent), which will amount a levy of 75 per cent.

Besides, if the assessing officer decides he can charge a 10 per cent penalty in addition to the 75 per cent tax. The current provisions of penalty on under-reporting of income at 50 per cent of the tax, and misreporting (200 per cent of tax) will remain

New Delhi, Nov 28 (PTI): With the last date for paying the first installment of due taxes and penalty under the one-time black money window IDS nearing, banks have been asked to ensure that such payments are accepted without any hassle and the source of funds is not sought from the declarant.

The Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) has written a letter to all its members in which it referred to a recent CBDT communication to RBI which cited a complaint from a declarant that he/ she could not deposit the payment as a bank branch in Bengaluru allegedly refused to accept the tax and penalty as per plan of the Income Declaration Scheme (IDS) that ended on September 30. CBDT, which is the I-T department’s policy-making body, noted that the scheme stipulates that a minimum amount of 25 per cent of the tax, surcharge and penalty is to be paid by November

New Delhi, Nov 28 (PTI): Providing a window to black money holders, the government today proposed to levy a total tax, penalty and surcharge of 50 per cent on the amount deposited post demonetisation while higher taxes and stiffer penalty of up to 85 per cent await those who don’t disclose but are caught.

Nearly three weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced junking high denomination 500 and 1000 rupee notes, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley introduced a bill to amend the Income Tax law which also provides for black money declarants a mandatorily depositing of 25 per cent of the amount disclosed in anti-poverty scheme without interest and a four-year lock-in period.

Those who choose to declare their ill-gotten wealth stashed till now in banned 500 and 1000 rupee notes under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana 2016, will have to pay a tax at the rate of 30 per cent of the undisclosed income.

Additionally, a 10 per cent penalty will be levied on the undisclosed income

Mumbai, Nov 28 (PTI): Expecting the nation’s largest lender SBI to fare better than its peers, global rating agency S&P today retained its long-term as well as short-term ratings on the bank with a stable outlook.

“We expect SBI performance to remain better than its public sector peers and therefore we are affirming our ‘BBB-’ long-term and ‘A-3’ short-term issuer credit ratings on the bank,” S&P said in a note.

It said the stable outlook reflects its expectation that the bank will maintain its financial profile over the next 24 months.

The agency also reaffirmed its ‘A-3’ short-term issuer credit rating on State Bank of India apart from

and no changes are being made to them.

Under-reporting/misreporting income is normally difference between returned income and assessed income.

The Taxation Laws (Second Amendment) Bill, 2016 proposes to amend Section 115BBE of the Income Tax Act to provide for a punitive tax, surcharge and penalty on unexplained credit, investment, cash and other assets.

Against current provision of 30 per cent flat tax rate plus surcharge and cesss, a steep 60 per cent tax will be levied on such income together with 25 per cent surcharge of tax (15 per cent of such income). So total incidence of tax will be 75 per cent with no expense, deductions or set-off allowed.

Also, the assessing officer can levy an additional 10 per cent penalty, taking the total tax incidence to 85 per cent.

The current provisions for penalty in cases of search and seizure are proposed to be amended to provide for a penalty of 30 per cent of income if it is admitted, returns filed and taxes paid.

New Delhi, Nov 28 (PTI): Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has invested a total of Rs 9,723 crore in exchange traded funds as on October 31 this year and the absolute returns till that time has been 9.17 per cent, the government told the Lok Sabha today.

“The total corpus of EPFO was Rs 7.49 lakh crore as on March 31, 2016.

The total amount invested

by EPFO in ETFs is Rs 9,723 crore as on October 31, 2016 and the absolute return was 9.17 per cent as on October 31, 2016,” Labour and Employment Minister Bandaru Dattatreya said replying to questions.

He also said EPFO’s investment in exchange traded funds (ETFs) would be increased to 10 per cent from the current level of 5 per cent within the scope of investment pattern notified by the Finance Ministry.

As a precautionary measure, EPFO is investing only in Nifty and Sensex ETFs, he added. “The returns from investment made in ETF are generally more than the returns from other investments.

Therefore, the subscribers are benefitted due to higher returns,” he said.

Syrian forces retake most of Aleppo

A L E P P O, N O V 2 8 (Agencies): Syria’s rebels lost all of the northern neighbourhoods of their stronghold in east Aleppo on Monday, as the army gained significant ground in its offensive to recapture the entire city.

The regime’s advance has prompted an exodus of desperate civilians, some fleeing to districts held by the government or Kurdish forces, others heading south into areas still under rebel control.

The rebel losses suggested it was only a matter of time before all of east Aleppo -- held by the opposition since 2012 -was back in government hands.

The loss of the city’s east would be a potentially devastating blow for Syria’s rebels, who have seen their territory fall steadily to the government since Russia began an intervention to bolster President Bashar alAssad in September 2015.

On Monday, government forces seized the Sakhur, Haydariya and Sheikh Khodr districts, while Kurdish fighters took the Sheikh Fares neigh-

Syrians escaping the gun battle between government forces and rebels in northeast Aleppo.

bourhood from rebels, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said.

Kurdish forces in Syria are officially aligned with neither the government nor the rebels, but the opposition views them as effectively allied with the regime in its bid to recapture Aleppo city.

The advances left all of northeast Aleppo in government hands, and prompted more civilians to join a wave of displacement from the east.

On Sunday night, the Observatory said nearly 10,000 civilians had fled the east, with around 6,000 moving to the Kurdish-held Sheikh Maqsud neighbourhood and 4,000 to government-held west Aleppo.

Syrian state television showed footage of families disembarking from the green coaches regularly used to transport civilians and surrendering rebels from territory retaken by the government.

Civilians were also

fleeing south to the remaining districts held by the rebels, arriving with little more than the clothes they were wearing, an AFP correspondent said.

He said dozens of families arrived in the south of the city overnight, and were being accommodated in some of the many empty buildings left behind by earlier waves of residents fleeing the city.

People in southern neighbourhoods were donating blankets and other

items to the new arrivals, who travelled on foot, exhausted, cold and hungry.

Aleppo’s east has been under government siege for more than four months, with international aid provisions exhausted and food stocks running desperately low.

The United Nations has appealed for access to the east of the city multiple times, but has failed to secure the necessary guarantees to deliver aid.

The government advances mean the regime now controls at least a third of eastern Aleppo, just under two weeks into its renewed bid to recapture the city.

The assault has been waged with heavy air strikes, barrel bomb attacks and artillery fire that has killed at least 225 civilians, including 27 children, in east Aleppo, according to the Observatory.

Rebels have also fired onto the government-held west of the city, killing at least 27 civilians, among them 11 children, since November 15, the monitor says.

Baloch HC issues arrest warrant against Musharraf

Pervez Musharraf

ISLAMABAD, NOV 28 (Agencies): The Balochistan High Court on Monday issued a bailable arrest warrant against former Pakistani president General Pervez Musharraf in a case pertaining to the alleged murder of former Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti in a military operation in 2006.

A divisional bench of the Balochistan High Court passed the order during hearing of review petition challenging acquittal of the 73-year-old former president by an anti-terrorism Court in the case, Dawn reported.

Justice Jamal Mandokhail

and Justice Zaheeruddin Kakar heard a review petition filed by Nawabzada Jamil Bugti, the son of Akbar Bugti.

The counsel of Musharraf, Akhtar Shah pleaded to the court that although his client respects the court, he cannot appear before the court due to “security reasons”.

However, Bugti’s lawyer complained that despite repeated orders, the former president Pervez Musharraf has failed to appear before the court. The court ordered that the administration should ensure adequate security to Musharraf while he appears in court.

9

Pakistan government had allowed Musharraf to go abroad in March this year for medical treatment.

Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti was killed in an operation in Balochistan’s rugged mountains of Taratani in Kohlu district on August 26, 2006.

Bugti had led an armed campaign to press for provincial autonomy and a greater share of profits from Balochistan’s natural resources.

The death of the Baloch chieftain had sparked angry protests in parts of the country.

Musharraf, who went into self-imposed exile in Dubai after being forced to resign as president facing impeachment following the 2008 elections, had returned to Pakistan in 2013 to contest elections but was implicated in several cases.

He also lost in the polls.

He was not allowed to leave the country until government allowed him in March this year to go abroad for treatment following orders by the Supreme Court.

South Korea prez refuses questioning Charleston massacre accused to defend himself

Park Geun-hye

Organizers claim up to 1.5 million people protested in downtown Seoul on Saturday night. Police put the figure at close to 270,000.

Either way, it was one of

the largest demonstrations since the democratization of the country in 1987.

Snow and freezing temperatures did not dampen growing determination to publicly and peacefully show the President they want her to step down, marching at one point within 200 meters of the Blue House, the Presidential palace, where Park lives.

Prosecutors have been wanting to question Park over her links to Choi, who is a member of a cult-like religion and has been a close confidante of the president for years.

South Carolina, NOV 28 (Agencies): A white man accused of killing nine black people at a South Carolina church will be allowed to represent himself at trial, a federal judge has said. US District Judge Richard Gergel said 22-year-old Dylann Roof ’s wish to be his own lawyer was “unwise”, but nevertheless granted his request.

The surprise development came just as jury selection was set to begin.

Last week Mr Roof was deemed competent to stand trial in the shooting of nine Charleston parish-

ioners in June 2015.

Wearing a grey jailissue jumpsuit, he was sitting on Monday morning at his defence table after his lawyers moved to the side.

Judge Gergel told the court: “I do find defendant has the personal capacity to self-representation.”

Addressing Mr Roof, he said: “I continue to believe it is strategically unwise (to represent yourself), but it is a decision you have the right to make.”

Mr Roof smiled slight- Dylann Roff (center), the accused in Charleston church ly and replied quietly: “yes, massacre. sir.” Beginning on Monday, 516 potential jurors will be

questioned individually by the judge; 12 will ultimately be selected to decide his fate. As the judge began questioning potential jurors - the first 10 of whom were white - Mr Roof did not ask questions or make any objections.

Mr Roof faces 33 federal charges, including a hate crime count. He has already been found competent in a state court, where he faces nine counts of murder, and prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty.

Seoul, NOV 28 (Agencies): South Korea’s President Park Geun-hye has once again refused to be questioned by prosecutors in a corruption scandal that has prompted mass street protests. In an SMS message to the prosecutors’ office, Park’s attorney Yoo Yeong-ha said the President was too busy. “President Park is currently working to control the situation in Korea and also has to pick a special prosecutor by tomorrow so given this schedule it would be difficult,” the text read. “Park cannot co-operate with the prosecutors’ request to question her face-to-face ... and we regret that.”

Prosecutors want to question Park as a suspect in a rapidly-expanding corruption case which started with the disclosure that she had shown classified documents to confidante Choi Soon-sil.

the second wicket between Tom Latham (80) and Williamson (42) helped New Zealand extend their lead further.

MACAU, Nov 28 (PTI): Three-time champion and Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu will look to continue her rampaging run when she starts her title defence at the $120,000 Macau Open Grand Prix Gold badminton tournament which begins on Tuesday. Second seed Sindhu, who clinched her maiden Super Series Premier title at China Open and then reached the finals at the Hong Kong Super Series in the last two weeks, will be the hot favourite when she starts her campaign against China’s Yue Han on Wednesday. Interestingly, Sindhu’s march towards her fourth title might be halted by compatriot and top seed Saina Nehwal, who is slowly and steadily getting back her bearing after recovering from a serious knee injury which affected her Olympic campaign three months back.

After undergoing a knee surgery in August, followed by a rigorous rehabilitation and training under the watchful eyes of her coach Vimal Kumar, Saina made a comeback at China Open but lost in the opening round. She competed at the Hong Kong Open before losing closely in the quarter-finals. The former World No. 1 Indian, who will take on Indonesia’s Hanna Ramadini in the opening round, will be eager to add this title to her name to boost her confidence ahead of the new season.

Hamilton, Nov 28 (Agencies): Ross Taylor hit his 16th Test match hundred as New Zealand dominated day four in Hamilton to set Pakistan a victory target of 369 to win the second Test.

It was the first time Taylor had passed fifty in his last 12 Test innings, and he finished unbeaten on 102 from 134 balls when Kane Williamson declared with his side well placed on 313-5.

That gave his bowlers three overs at Pakistan’s openers before the close, but Sami Aslam and stand-in captain

throughout his knock - particularly brutal on anything short or wide outside off stump, as he reeled off a series of punishing cuts for four among his 16 boundaries.

By way of contrast, Henry Nicholls (26) struggled for any sort of fluency in his time at the crease and was furious with himself when he chased the widest of deliveries from Imran and got a bottom edge through to Sarfraz.

Ashwin puts India in cruise control

Mohali: England’s captain Alastair Cook is bowled out by R Ashwin (unseen) during the 3rd day of 3rd India-England test match in Mohali on Monday. (PTI)

Mohali, Nov 28 (PTI): Star India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin kept his team firmly on course for yet another comprehensive victory, outclassing England on all counts here at the end of the third day’s play in the third cricket Test.

At stumps, England were in deep trouble at 78 for four, still 56 runs in arrears and only six wickets at their disposal.

Earlier in the day, Ravindra Jadeja smashed his way to a career-best 90 while Ashwin hit 72 as lower middle-order once again put up a power-packed performance to score a commendable 417 in the first innings, thereby giving India a healthy 134-run lead

Santos confirm interest in Schweinsteiger Rio de Janeiro, Nov 28 (IANS): Santos coach Dorival Junior has confirmed the Brazilian football club could make a bid to sign Manchester United and Germany international midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger. Speaking after his team’s 0-2 defeat to Flamengo in Brazil’s Serie A championship on Sunday, Dorival said that during a meeting with the Santos board he requested the club to pursue the 2014 World Cup winner, reports Xinhua.

“I told them (the board) that we should try to get a big name in world football, or at least send an invitation,” Dorival told reporters at the Maracana stadium here. “It was just a recommendation.

It would be like Botafogo’s signing of Clarence Seedorf (in 2012). It won’t hurt us to try.” Schweinsteiger, 32, has fallen out of favour at Manchester United since the arrival of Jose Mourinho as manager in July.

Media reports have indicated the former Bayern Munich star could leave United during the next European transfer window in January.

over England.

A four-day finish with a 2-0 lead is looking imminent for India.

Having set up the match with a well-compiled half-century with the bat, Ashwin (3/19 in 12 overs) came back to remove rival captain Alastair Cook (12), Moeen Ali (5) and Ben Stokes (5) as India tightened the noose around England. Jayant Yadav (1/12 in 6 overs) then came in to remove first innings halfcenturion Jonny Bairstow (15) before the close of play.

England’s No 1 batsman Joe Root (36 batting, 101 balls) stands between India and victory. While he may not be 100 per cent

fit but Ashwin looked like getting a wicket with most of his deliveries. On a pitch where Moeen Ali and Gareth Batty looked ordinary, Ashwin, with his length and deception, looked more potent. It seemed Ashwin has been successfully able to play on Captain Cook’s mind as he again tried in vain to indulge in a game of survival.

Cook survived a couple of close calls on DRS but then Ashwin bowled one that angled in with skipper playing down the wrong line only to find his bails clipped off.

Moeen, batting at No 3, didn’t reach to the pitch of the delivery and his forced chip shot could not

ATK, Kerala look to get closer to ISL semis berth Kolkata, Nov 28 (IANS): Atletico de Kolkata (ATK) and Kerala Blasters will square off on Tuesday knowing a win will help them take giant strides towards sealing a playoffs berth in the Indian Super League (ISL) football tournament.

ATK are third in the points table, with 18 points from 12 matches, just above their opponents on goal difference. A win will ensure movement to the second spot and in a relatively safety zone in their aim to qualify for the semi-finals.

Mumbai City FC have all but secured a semis spot sitting pretty at the top of the heap with 22 points from 13 matches, followed

by Delhi Dynamos at 20 points from 12 games.

NorthEast United FC -- in the fifth spot with 15 points from 12 outings -- are still in the fray and will like to catapult either of ATK or Kerala to grab a top four place.

ATK have won against Kerala away earlier in the tournament. But their uninspiring home form at the Rabindra Sarovar Stadium

will keep them on the edge.

ATK coach Jose Molina’s boys have only triumphed onve in five occasions at home.

They have lost one of their five home games and drawn thrice. ATK’s last league match is also at home against FC Pune City.

Kerala, on the other hand, could be peaking at the right time with local lad and Bengaluru FC striker CK Vineeth hitting a purple patch for the 2014 finalists.

He has scored thrice in four matches he has played so far also providing one assist for a goal.

Although Kerala were handed a 0-5 drubbing

by Mumbai City FC recently, Steve Coppell’s side showed verve to comeback and win 2-1 against Pune in their last game.

Kerala’s defence is strong with Cedric Hengbart playing well at centreback along with marquee player Aaron Hughes.

ATK will have to do well to break the backline and cannot afford to miss any opportunity that comes their way.

clear Jayant Yadav at midon, who ran a few yards back to complete a reasonably simple catch.

The highlight of the first two sessions was Jadeja’s 90 off 170 balls that had 10 fours and a six. His partnership of 97 with Ashwin is likely to have a great impact in the final context of the match.

Not to forget the 80run stand he shared with rookie Jayant (55, 141 balls, 5x4), who also helped himself to a maiden half-century in Test cricket.

Jadeja also eclipsed his previous best of 68 against the same opposition at Lord’s in 2014.

Debutant Jayant, India’s ‘find of the series’ once again impressed with his fighting qualities as his gutsy innings ensured that India scored 400-plus for the third consecutive time in the series.

For the record, no visiting team has won against India after having conceded 65-run lead in the first innings. The last time it happened was 52 years ago, back in 1964 when Bob Simpson’s Australia won after conceding a 65-run first innings lead.

Brief scores: England 78/4 (Joe Root 32*; R Ashwin 3/19) trail India 417 all out (Ravindra Jadeja 90; Ashwin 72) by 56 runs.

Ribery extends contract with Bayern Munich M u n i c h , N ov 2 8 (IANS): French midfielder Franck Ribery has put pen to paper for a one-year extension with German giants Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga football club has confirmed. With the one-year extension, he extends his stay at Bayern until June 2018. His contract was about to expire next season, reports Xinhua.

“Six Bundesliga titles, five German Cups, the Champions League trophy, the Club World Cup as well as the Super Cup are successes of Bayern in recent years that are closely linked to the name Franck Ribery,” Bayern Munich CEO KarlHeinz Rummenigge said on Sunday.

Ribery joined in the summer 2007 from French top-flight club Olympic de Marseille to make 333 competitive appearances for the German champions. Since his arrival, he has provided 108 goals and 164 assists.

In 2013, the midfielder was named as the European Player of the Year. “I am very happy to be able to play another year for Bayern,” Ribery told the club’s official homepage.

Amateur men’s double badminton tourney underway Dimapur, Nov 28 (NPN): The 1st Open Amateur Men’s Double Badminton tourney, organised

by Super Shuttlers Club, got under Monday evening at Thahekhu village.

NIDC chairman Tovihoto Ayemi graced the inaugural programme as the chief guest.

Addressing the players, the chief guest highlighted on the benefits of playing badminton.

The game of badminton, said Tovihoto, is not only fun and exciting but also offers tremendous physical benefits.

He asserted that Nagas have inborn talent in games and sports and further added that Nagas can excel if it can be taken up in professional level.

The chief guest also lauded the club for organising the tournament thereby providing a platform to the players.

Earlier, the welcome address was delivered by club president Mughavi Chishi, God’sblessing was invoked by Mughabeto Jimo, associate pastor TVBC and a special number was presented

by Livika Swu. The programme was chaired by Nikita Engheepi.

Juan Mata, the Manchester United captain, shots but is under pressure from West Ham’s Obiang, who blocks his shot.

It’s the first time since 1990 that the Red Devils have failed to win at home in four consecutive games, and the pressure is clearly taking its toll on Jose Mourinho who was sent to the stands in the first half.

It was West Ham who came out of the blocks the quicker in Manchester, with the visitors taking the lead only two minutes into the clash. Sakho, making just his second start of the season, nodded his side

in front after outmuscling Ibrahimovic to meet Dimitri Payet’s fine free-kick from the right wing, grabbing his first goal since May. But United responded well to a disastrous start, with Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard causing problems for West Ham’s nervous back line.

And 21 minutes in the Red Devils had their equaliser, as Paul Pogba and Ibrahimovic linked up superbly – something that hasn’t often been said this season.

The world’s most expensive player spotted the run of his team-mate, sending a long ball over the Hammers defence and onto the head of the centre forward, who made no mistake in nodding the ball past Darren Randolph.

Lingard had an excellent opportunity to give his side the lead, firing a volley over the crossbar from close range. Rashford, a few minutes later, outpaced West Ham’s defenders, burst-

Kuki United FC enter Classic cup final

Ko h i m a , N ov 2 8 (NPN): Kuki United FC entered Classic Cup 2016 final after defeating Naga FC in the second semi-final match played at Kohima local ground on Monday.

Kuki United FC faced tough resistance from title contender Naga FC in the early part of the match.

However in the 36th minute, Kuki United found the net. Naga FC effort to equalize the goal was in vain as Kuki United boys thwarted their every move

throughout the first half.

Ju s t t wo m i nu t e s into the second half, Kuki United FC doubled the score through Elminhao (7). Despite two goals behind, Naga FC never gave up hope and continued on fighting. However, in the 82nd minute, Letminthang (10) scored the third goal to seal the berth for final match. As the discouraged and helpless Naga FC continued to struggle, the lone and face saving goal came in the 89th minute through Senenlo Kath (6). Senenlo Kath (6) and Medoneito (7)

of Naga FC and Lehminthang (8) and Thangminlal (14) of Kuki United were cautioned for unsporting behaviour. In the final, Kuki United FC will take on Barak FC on November 30, 1pm at Kohima local ground. Parliamentary secretary YRS, MTF, and state lotteries Khriehu Liezietsu would grace the final match as the chief guest.

On Tuesday, the 9th edition of the challenger cup would be played between Kohima Press Club and Classic Club at 2pm at Kohima local ground.

Argentina beat Croatia to win Davis Cup Z ag r e b, N ov 2 8 (Agencies): Argentina took their first Davis Cup title after Juan Martin Del Potro and Federico Delbonis won Sunday’s reverse singles to complete the South American nation’s spectacular comeback in a 3-2 victory over hosts Croatia in the final.

Del Potro fought back from two sets down to beat Marin Cilic 6-7(4) 2-6 7-5 6-4 6-3 before Delbonis swept aside Ivo Karlovic 6-3 6-4 6-2 in the decisive rubber, sparking wild celebrations among several thousand away fans in the Zagreb Arena.

Argentina joined the list of Davis Cup winners after losing all four finals they had previously contested and their dismal record in the title showdown appeared set to continue when Cilic came within a set of clinching Croatia’s second title.

The 2005 winners saw the red carpet pulled from under their feet, however, as a battling Del Potro launched a ferocious comeback and played through the fifth set with a broken finger on his left hand.

“It happened when I tried to catch a ball in the fifth set,” Del Potro, who

ing into the penalty box with ease, but his effort was stopped by the right leg of Randolph. With it 1-1 at half-time, all was to be played for, but United continued to waste their chances. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Wayne Rooney were called into action just after the hour mark, with Mourinho clearly unhappy with the lack of creativity in his side.

West Ham posed little threat so far, but United, despite carving plenty of openings on goal, failed to really test Randolph, made to suffer for their poor decisionmaking in the final third. But into the final 10 minutes and the game became stretched, and the Hammers looked particularly dangerous on the counter attack.

United should have been out of sight at halftime, but were ultimately made to pay for miserable finishing and few could argue that either side were deserving of the three points.

had struggled with wrist injuries in recent years, told a news conference before rushing back courtside to watch Delbonis pick apart Karlovic.

“This was an emotionally exhausting match and one of the biggest wins of my career. Thanks to all those who prevented me from retiring, I was very close to never playing again and, well, here I am.”

Having clinched the opening set’s tie-break, Cilic

raced through the second set before Del Potro, who improved his record against the Croatian to 9-2 in all competitions, started his comeback with a passing shot between his legs.

He broke Cilic’s serve in the ninth game of the fourth set and then held his own to draw level but fell behind again at the start of the fifth, handing the initiative back to the home crowd favourite. Once again Del Potro showed nerves of steel

as he broke straight back and forced the final twist to seal the contest in four hours 53 minutes, laying the path for Delbonis to finish the job.

His team-mate did so superbly, holding serve throughout his one-sided contest with Karlovic as he kept running the Croatian ragged with punishing baseline shots.

The Argentinian team saluted their fans who created a fantastic atmosphere in the Zagreb Arena.
