Left with only three members, including former Chief Minister Nabam Tuki, in the 60-member House after the wholesale defection to the regional party PPA, the Congress pleaded for disqualification of those MLAs as member of Arunachal Pradesh Assembly under Article 191(2) Rules, 1987/2003 for ‘voluntarily’ giving up the membership of their original political party Indian National Congress and joining PPA. “Although a notification was issued by the Assembly showing these MLAs as PPA MLAs but no separate order for merger has been issued,” it claimed.

India, Russia defence deals TO TOUCH `72000 cr

All eyes on Modi-Putin meet

NEW DELHI, Oct 15 (AGENCIES): Correcting the pronounced tilt towards the US in defence deals over the last decade, India on Saturday inked pacts with Russia to acquire advanced air defence missile systems, stealth frigates as well as jointly produce lightutility helicopters. The three projects are collectively worth an estimated $10.5 billion (over Rs 72,000 crore).

The two pacts or intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) for five new-generation Russian S-400 Triumf missile systems and four upgraded Teg or Grigorivich-class frigates, apart from the joint venture to produce 200 Kamov-226T light utility helicopters, are not actual contracts as yet. That will take some time, with the nitty-gritties and final costs to be sealed through further negotiations in the days ahead.

But Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, in whose presence the pacts were inked in Goa, were all gung-ho about the reinforcement of the bilateral strategic partnership “to lay deeper defence ties” in the years ahead. “Agreements on manufacturing Kamov-226T helicopters; constructions of frigates; and acquisition and building of other defence platforms are in synergy with India’s technology and security priorities,” said Modi.

In terms of sheer strategic value, India’s acquisition of the five S-400 systems for over $5.5 billion is clearly going to be game-changer. TOI was the first to report in October 2015 about India’s decision to go in for the S-400 systems, which basically have three kinds of missiles that can fly at supersonic and hypersonic speeds to intercept all kinds of targets at ranges from 120 to 400-km.

Defence sources said the S-400 systems, with three meant for the western front with Pakistan and the other two for the eastern one with China, can shoot down Chinese or Pakistani fighters while they are flying in their own airspaces.

India will be the second customer for the S-400 (called SA-21 Growler by NATO), with China slated to get the anti-aircraft\anti-missile systems under a $3 billion deal

with Russia in 2014. A defence source said, “Most of the negotiations for our S-400 systems are over ... the contract should be inked among the first to be inked.”

The $4 billion pact for the four 4,000-tonne guidedmissile stealth frigates also has some strategic content to it though it is not acknowledged in public. India’s quest to lease a second nuclear-powered submarine (the first INS Chakra came in 2012) for around $1.5 billion from Russia has been linked by Moscow to New Delhi’s agreement to acquire the frigates lying half-constructed at the Yantar Shipyard due to a cash-crunch.

India will also have to acquire Zorya gas-turbine engines for the frigates from Ukraine, which is bitterly opposed to Russia as of now.

“While two of the frigates will come from Russia, with a

faster delivery time, the other two will be built here. It will take time for the contract with the selected Indian shipyard to be finalized,” said a source.

As for the Kamov-226T choppers, the IGA for it was inked during Modi’s visit to Moscow in December last year. It’s only now the joint venture for the project, with the memorandum of association, share-holders agreement and the like, has been inked between defence PSU Hindustan Aeronautics (with majority 50.5% stake) and Russian Rostec State Corporation.

But the different pacts do show that Russia is reasserting its numero uno status in the Indian defence market. It was after the 1999 Kargil conflict that India began to increasingly turn to countries like US, Israel, France and UK so as to not put all its eggs in the Russian basket. As the strategic clinch with the US got tighter, Washington alone bagged Indian defence deals worth $15 billion since 2007.

Though India still remains slightly unhappy with Russia for not sticking to delivery schedules, jacking up costs mid-way, putting hurdles in technology transfer and unreliable spares support, New Delhi knows only Moscow will help it with “strategic projects” like nuclear-powered submarines or the S-400 systems.

DIMAPUR, OCT 15 (NPN): Nagaland Contractors’ & Suppliers’ Union (NCSU) head office has clarified its position to the people of the state concerning DimapurKohima four lane project, saying it had no intention to obstruct the proposed construction of four lane road in any manner.

In a press release, the NCSU president, Pele Khezhie, and general secretary, John Kath, said the union rather reaffirmed to render its fullest cooperation and support for the successful completion of “this historic” four lane road.

In this regard, the NCSU has appealed to all responsible citizens of Nagaland not to be “misled by propagandas and speculations” but to understand the truth behind it.

The union said it had time and again raised objection against M/s.

Gayatri & Maytas joint venture (JV), which had “miserably failed” in the construction of LonglengChangtongya road, Mon-TamluMerangkong road, Phek-Pfütsero and Zunheboto-Chakhabama road under SARDP Phase-1.

NCSU reminded that JV was awarded the projects in the year 2010 with total tender amount of Rs. 987 crores and the work order

amount of Rs. 1131 crore was enhanced to Rs. 2988 crore, which it said was almost triple from the original DPR. The union said so far around Rs. 383 crore has been released to the company, but the work completion was not even 1km till date. Therefore, the NCSU sought to know “where and how this huge amount was spent?”

In view of the above, NCSU said the people of those areas have been facing great hardship all these years. It added the same fate should not be repeated in near future in the construction of other mega project in Nagaland.

In the mean time, the union stated that the same M/s. Gayatri Company has been awarded another work in the proposed construction of Dimapur-Kohima four-lane project in package No.3 from Pephima to Jotsoma bypass.

Expressing its reservation that the said company may not be able to execute the work properly according to the laid specifications, NCSU said “this company continue to use socalled ‘Sister Concern Firm, Ratna Company’ on their behalf in such mega project which proves failure.”.

Therefore, the NCSU has appealed to all the stakeholders to put “our

Co-ordination Committee (CorCom), the conglomerate of five major rebel groups struggling for regain of Manipur’s sovereignty called the protest shutdown against the “forcibly” merger of Manipur to Indian Union.

The rebels groups have been observing the day as “Leibaki Amamba Numit (National Black Day)” every year as a mark of protest against the merger of Manipur to Indian Union.

They alleged that merger of Manipur to the republic of India on October 15, 1949 was an invalid one saying that the then king of Manipur Maharaja Budhachandra was forced to sign at gun point in Shillong, Meghalaya.

Congress suspends MLA in Meghalaya Shillong, Oct 15 (PTI): Congress has placed under suspension a legislator who rebelled against Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, following which five other members of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council tendered their resignations from the party.

The Chief Executive Member and legislator P N Syiem was suspended by the state party leadership for alleged “anti party activities” last night.

His suspension came as the party prepares to contest for seven vacant posts of the two tribal autonomous district councils.

Following the suspension order, five executive members in the Congress-led People’s Democratic Front coalition at the Council tendered their resignation from the party

membership and supported Syiem as their leader.

Syiem openly rebelled against the chief minister and was the only legislator who did not resign from the membership of the council even as seven other legislators were forced to resign under the new legislation passed by the state Assembly last year preventing legislators from holding two elected posts.

Congress has appointed Mansturdy Nongrem as the new parliamentary party leader in the council.

Syiem, who claimed to have the support of majority of the members at the council, said the appointment of Nongrem was not as per norm since the actual leader did not convene the parliamentary party instead a party functionary did it.

India, Russia call for enacting CCIT

BENAULIM (GOA), OCT 15 (PTI): In a veiled disapproval of terror sponsored from across the border, India and Russia today strongly pushed for steps to deny safe havens for terror and called for an early conclusion of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) by the UN to tackle the menace.

The strong condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations came forth in a joint statement issued by the two countries after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held wide-ranging talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an engagement that took place against the backdrop of the Uri attack and the subsequent surgical strikes. The two leaders also favoured a strong global legal regime on the principle of “zero tolerance” to the menace and without adopting double standards.

“India and Russia recognise the threat posed by terrorism, and believe that the full implementation of the relevant UNSC resolutions, the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy without application of any double standards or selectivity will be instrumental in countering this challenge.

“They stressed the need to deny safe havens to terrorists and the importance of countering the spread of terrorist ideology as well as radicalization leading to terrorism, stopping recruitment, preventing travel

PTI of terrorists and foreign terrorist fighters, strengthening border management and having effective legal assistance and extradition arrangements,” the joint statement said.

At a joint press briefing, Modi conveyed to Putin his appreciation of Russia’s unequivocal condemnation of the Uri attack during their talks on terrorism, including that emanating from Pakistan.

“Russia’s clear stand on the need to combat terrorism mirrors our own. We deeply appreciate Russia’s understanding and support of our actions to fight cross-border terrorism, that threatens our entire region.

We both affirmed the need for zero tolerance in dealing with terrorists and their supporters,” Modi said.

Putin, on his part, said both the countries were united

in dealing with the challenge of terrorism.

The joint statement said the two sides stressed the need to have a strong international legal regime built on the principle of “zero tolerance for direct or indirect support of terrorism” and that they called upon the international community to make sincere efforts towards the earliest conclusion of the CCIT. Asked if the issue of crossborder terrorism emanating from Pakistan figured during the talks, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar said, “The restricted form did cover Uri and support given for the terror strike (by Pakistan).”

India, which has conveyed its opposition to Russia undertaking joint military exercises with Pakistan – a country which “sponsors and practices

terrorism as a matter of State policy”, also said it was “satisfied” about Russia understanding its interests.

“We are satisfied that Russia understand India’s interest and they will never do anything contrary to India’s interest and I think there was a strong meeting of minds on this subject,” Jaishankar said when asked about the Russian response to India’s concern over the recent Pak-Russia joint military exercise.

The Foreign Secretary also asserted that the assumption of friendship with Russia, “which was more than a partner”, was that India trusts that they will not do anything contrary to its interest.

The joint statement also said “President Putin reaffirmed Russia’s continued commitment to the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership with India and noted the commonality of positions of both the countries on such issues as war on terrorism. Indian side expressed its appreciation for Russia’s unequivocal condemnation of the terrorist attack on army base in Uri.” It said India and Russia recognised the threat posed by terrorism, and believe that the full implementation of the relevant UNSC resolutions, the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy without application of any double standards or selectivity will be instrumental in countering this challenge.

(From p-1) However, it said with intervention of the state government headed by the chief minister and the apex Naga civil society organisations, the total bandh was kept in abeyance as per the assurance given by the state government.

In this connection, the union said the C&S had represented state government to New Delhi as a good will mission. However, the union said he failed to convene a joint meeting with NCSU till date and the reason was “best known to him alone.”

NCSU appeals WAPO: NCSU while appreciating the position and the concern shown by the Western Angami Public Organisation (WAPO) regarding the proposed four lane Dimapur-Kohima road construction under its jurisdiction has appealed to WAPO to “work hand in hand with NCSU with full understanding for common interest.”

It also appealed to all the NGOs and civil society organisations of all levels in Nagaland to stand united for common good.

Meanwhile, the union has expressed its appreciation and gratitude to all its district units for the overwhelming support and solidarity extended.

Curfew lifted across Kashmir SRINAGAR, OCT 15 (PTI): Authorities today lifted curfew across Kashmir following improvement in the situation, but normal life remained affected due to the unrest which erupted after killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani in July. A police official said there is no curfew anywhere in Kashmir and the curbs on the movement of people have been lifted across the Valley, including from the summer capital here, following improvement in the situation. However, restrictions on the assembly of people under Section 144 CrPc were in force throughout the Valley. He said security forces have been deployed in sensitive areas to maintain law and order as also to instil a sense of security among the people so that they can carry out their day-to-day activities without fear.

The authorities last night restored outgoing call facility on prepaid mobile phone connections after three months in view of the improving situation. However, mobile internet services continued to remain suspended across Kashmir.

Meanwhile, normal life remained affected in the Valley for the 99th day due to the ongoing unrest.

The unrest, which has claimed 84 lives, including that of two cops, and left thousands of others injured in clashes between protestors and security forces, would complete 100 days tomorrow as shops, business establishments, petrol pumps and educational institutions remained closed, while public transport continued to be off the roads.

Ansari leaves for 5-day visit to Hungary, Algeria NEW DELHI, OCT 15 (PTI): Vice President Hamid Ansari today left on a five-day visit to Hungary and Algeria, where he will raise the matter of cross-border terrorism and a host of other bilateral issues.

The visit comes amid the continuing tension between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Uri terror attack and the Indian Army’s surgical strikes on terror launch pads in PoK. “Absolutely. This will be the major theme in all his (Vice-President) bilateral talks,” Sujata Mehta, Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs told reporters yesterday, when asked whether Ansari will raise the issue of cross-border terrorism with the leaders of the two countries. “Terrorism will be a major item in both Hungary and Algeria,” she said.

Ansari will first visit Hungary from October 15 to 17 and Algeria from October 17 to 19.

During the visit, Mehta said, Ansari will hold discussions with Presidents of Hungary and Algeria, Prime Minister of Hungary and Speakers of national assembly.

SP govt’s schemes better than Centre’s: Akhilesh Yadav

NEW DELHI, OCT 15 (IANS): President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday paid tributes to former President and ‘Missile Man’ A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on his 85th birth anniversary.

Mukherjee paid floral tributes to Kalam at Rashtrapati Bhavan here. Kalam’s family members were also present on the occasion. “Officers and staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan along with family members of Kalam also paid floral tributes on the occasion,” a press release issued

by Rashtrapati Bhavan said.

Modi said in a tweet “Tributes to our former President, the person who captured the imagination of every Indian, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, on his birth anniversary.” Kalam, who was given the highest civilian award Bharat Ratna in 1997, became the 11th Presi-

“There will be meetings of minds to fight terrorism with all his (Ansari) interlocutors and counterparts in both the countries,” Mehta said.

The Vice-President’s visit to Hungary comes after more than two decades after the then President Shankar Dayal Sharma had visited the central European country in 1993.

Algeria’s President Abdelaziz Bouteflika was the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations in India in 2001.

While around 50 Indian companies are operating in Hungary and have made their base to expand their businesses in other European countries, bilateral trade between India and Algeria stands at USD 1.5 billion per annum, majority of which are related to importing oil and oil products to India.

Nobel balladeer

W

ithout prejudice to Robert Zimmerman a.k.a. Bob Dylan, the balladeer, songwriter, artist, and writer who has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades; the Nobel prize for literature was quite a surprise. Whichever way one would tend to analyse the Nobel prize for Dylan, the frontiers of literature are being widened in recognising popular lyrics as literature. Perhaps there would have been little surprise if Dylan had won the Nobel prize for music or perhaps the message of peace in his songs. Dylan’s lyrics were considered as literature of a unique blend. He has been able to hold on to his popularity with mesmerizingly sentimental tunes for so many decades. Dylan’s lyrics incorporate a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences. They defied existing pop music conventions and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture. He amplified music genres of song writers whose performances he was inspired by, such as Little Richard and the song writing of Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams. He made a mark on pop with celebrated work dates from the 1960s when his songs chronicled social unrest. Early songs such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a-Changin” became anthems for the American civil rights and anti-war movements.

Dylan was not only a balladeer who enchanted audiences with his message of the period but did it in a unique style of blending lyrics with the tunes. Dylan’s songs were his inner expressions that millions found resonance but he later made it clear that he wasn’t anti-establishment. During the 60s when “flower people” and “flower power” went viral with the revolution of “make love not war”. As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the bestselling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. He is only the second person to have won both the Oscar Award and the Nobel Prize, the other is George Bernard Shaw. Nobel Prizes in Literature are not solely awarded on the basis of a glimmering career ; a wide range of criteria needs to be satisfied as well. If up to 1912,the juries were scrupulously following Alfred Nobel’s will that idealism should be rewarded, as of 1913,they were more open but more biased. Many world famous writers whose highly influential writings of great contemporary relevance such as –Leo Tolstoy, Proust, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Valdimir Nabokov, Auden, Chinua Achebe, JL Borges and James Baldwin — never caught the committee’s attention. Reasons for Nobel choices are often political. Few from a pool of brilliant writers of the developing world have received Nobel’s attention.

The space occupied by popular music is not under threat. Dylan deserved, and won, several Grammys, including the lifetime achievement award and is present in the Rock &Roll Hall of Fame.

With music now taken as another form of literature hopefully, many other renowned songwriters, singers and performers like Leonard Cohen and Paul McCartney or Elton John etc could one day be nominated for their tremendous contributions to the world of music.

DailyDevotion The Key to the Missionary’s Message He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. —1 John 2:2 The key to the missionary’s message is the propitiation of Christ Jesus— His sacrifice for us that completely satisfied the wrath of God. Look at any other aspect of Christ’s work, whether it is healing, saving, or sanctifying, and you will see that there is nothing limitless about those. But— “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”— that is limitless (John 1:29). The missionary’s message is the limitless importance of Jesus Christ as the propitiation for our sins, and a missionary is someone who is immersed in the truth of that revelation.

The real key to the missionary’s message is the “remissionary” aspect of Christ’s life, not His kindness, His goodness, or even His revealing of the fatherhood of God to us. “… repentance and remission of sins should be preached…to all nations…” (Luke 24:47). The greatest message of limitless importance is that “He Himself is the propitiation for our sins….” The missionary’s message is not nationalistic, favoring nations or individuals; it is “for the whole world.” When the Holy Spirit comes into me, He does not consider my partialities or preferences; He simply brings me into oneness with the Lord Jesus.

A missionary is someone who is bound by marriage to the stated mission and purpose of his Lord and Master. He is not to proclaim his own point of view, but is only to proclaim “the Lamb of God.” It is easier to belong to a faction that simply tells what Jesus Christ has done for me, and easier to become a devotee of divine healing, or of a special type of sanctification, or of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But Paul did not say, “Woe is me if I do not preach what Christ has done for me,” but, “…woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!”

(1 Corinthians 9:16). And this is the gospel— “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

Post-mortem Reply to ‘life versus I stick to my statement dated 29.10.2013 truth and justice’ T S (Recognition of immigrants should be done basing on truth and justice.)

ilverstein’s assertion (Nagaland Post & Morung Express, Oct.13, 2016), that “life should take precedent over truth and justice” and that “the living (should) take priority over the dead” at the surface level, sounds very correct. However in the case of Nagas and their defense of their motherland, they are not talking about a “precedent” or a choice between “the livings” having more right to life than the dead.

In our case, a collective national choice was taken in our national Plebiscite of May 16, 1951 where we had declared to both India and the world (Including ourselves) that we are not, and will not become a part of India.

Having made that declaration, our leaders desperately tried to defend our rights through non violent means.

But when Indian troops invaded our country from the early 1950’s and started to burn, rape, torture and murder our people, we were forced to take up arms to defend ourselves. And in that most unequal fight, thousands of us died defending a cause a nation knew was right and based on truth. In this collective sacrifice, not one single individual, past or present, has been spared the agony in one form or the other as-even where a father or a son had not fallen- a clansman or fellow villager had died from every Naga village. Therefore, in our case, the issue now, is not whether we should give precedence for the living against the dead, but a case where the price

for the defense of truth and justice has ready been paid in the highest measure.

Today, our political issue is not a theory for debate or vote, but a sacrifice for which we demand a verdict from India and the world including Silverstein. Ours is a case of “post sacrifice” demand for an answer rather than a “Pre-sacrifice heart rending decision” where we have to give precedence for the living as opposed to those who have died.

Finally, as for an example of any country in the world- where by sacrificing truth and justice- a people have found peace and prosperity, I would be grateful if anyone can point out one single country today, enjoying such benefits. As far as my knowledge is concerned, every country in the world that has compromised and sacrificed truth and justice has reaped a harvest of injustice and exploitation for “the living”. After all, as for the dead, they have died and are gone, but it is the living that must live the consequences of their own choices over truth and justice. The choice is tough but compromise is neither the answer nor the way out. Life indeed is precious, but life without freedom and liberty is slavery to evil and injustice.

I will therefore, rather than choosing compromise and exploitation, choose liberty and freedom- whatever the cost.

he people irrespective of clans, tribes and races living together within a boundary as permanent settlers are to be treated as equal citizens.

In the village the population consists of descendants of various clans or tribes or races living together for many years forget about who belongs to what and there is no sense of discrimination among the village community.

Whether in a village or tribe or State or country, all of the people who are permanent settlers are to be recognized as bonafide citizens basing on fulfillment of rules and conditions of citizenship and not basing on tribalism or racism. There are some Nagas living in Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya and U.S.A. as domiciled citizens and there

M

are many people from other tribes and races living together with the Nagas for many years who may deserve acquiring citizenship to live as bonafide citizens.

Recognition of citizenship is not to be in term of tribe or race but to be in term of whether the candidate is qualified or not as per the existing rules and conditions.

Some persons belonging to Rongmei tribe lived at Kohima since British time and if such particular persons are recognized as bonafide citizens, it does not mean that Rongmei tribe is recognized. In like manner, whether Maos, Kukis, Kacharis, Nepalese, Punjabis, Bengalese, Assamese, Manipuris, Khasis and so on who have been residing in Nagaland many years having their per-

manent homes should be recognized as equal citizens and should not continue to be treated as temporary so- journers. It is individual matter and to be dealt with individually. Whether a community has set up a village or not is not the question.

Formation of NTC is both antagonistic and laudatory going on side by side but it is already in existence and it is no harm unlike an armed faction because any organization whatsoever is subject to the general public and any organisation has to do anything according to universal human right and truth and justice before God. In anything we have to stand for the truth and justice because we all are stewards only in the world.

Rev. L. Suohie Mhasi

Resolve the Rongmei issue amicably

uch have been said on the Rongmei tribe recognition issue and I think, by now the Rongmei community had also understood why the Nagas of Nagaland vehemently opposed the state government’s decision. Time and again, the tribal hohos of Nagaland have clarified that they were not opposed to the granting of indigenous inhabitant status to the Rongmei who had settled in Nagaland prior to 1963, but were opposed to granting of INDIGENOUS TRIBE STATUS to the Rongmei in the state of Nagaland.

And there must be no confusion that some Rongmei individuals (numbering 1313 according to some reports) were already settled in Nagaland prior to the formation of statehood in 1963. This automatically gives the 1313 Rongmeis and their descendents the right of indigenous inhabitants of the state of Nagaland, like the Kukis, Kacharis, Garos who had settled down in Nagaland prior to 1963, by the Nagaland state notification dated the 28th of April, 1977 No. AR-8/876.

Indigenous tribe status is exclusive, and not inclusive,

it is reserved for those tribal communities who have ancestral land/territory in a state. In the case of Nagaland, the tribal communities that can be and are recognized as indigenous tribes are: Angami, Ao, Chakhesang, Sumi, Lotha, Konyak,Chang, Phom, Sangtam, Yimchunger, Pochury, Khiamniungan, Rengma and Zeliang. Rongmeis, as you know, have their ancestral land in the Tamenglong district of the state of Manipur, and here, they are recognized as indigenous tribe and enjoys all the rights and privileges of a Scheduled Tribe.

Therefore, the crux of the matter is that the 1313 Rongmeis and their descendants must enjoy the rights and privileges of an indigenous inhabitant of the state of Nagaland, but Rongmei cannot be recognized as an indigenous tribe of the state of Nagaland. Unfortunately, this is precisely what the NPF’s government had done in 2012. So, in the interest of the people of Nagaland, the same NPF government must revoke it at the earliest.

CNTC clarifies on Rongmei tribe recognition issue (From previous issue) Subsequently close on the heels of the state government’s clarification over the issue of recognition of Rongmei tribe in response to the stand of the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) Feb.1 2014, the ENPO vice president Yonglong Konyak and joint secretary Manlang Phom expressed support to all Naga communities/ brethren in terms of needs or difficulties regardless of where they are from or where they are domiciled. Putting the record straight, ENPO said it stood absolutely for all possible moral and practical support to Rongmei Naga brethren in difficulties and was willing to go to any extend to defend and uphold their rights for social, political and economic rights in this regard, the signatories said the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of ENPO had on May 4 2013, resolved to facilitate the difficulties and aspirations of fellow Rongmei Nagas in fully supporting them to avail the ‘Indigenous Certificate’ of Nagaland for all practical purposes. However, ENPO said the CEC “equally resolved to oppose and object the recognition of the Rongmei as a tribal status of Nagaland for all practical hurdles and difficulties”. ENPO also made it clear to Rongmei brethren that the eastern Nagas of Nagaland should “not be misunderstood or misconceived” in any manner.

ENPO made the stand of the six tribes clear to the government of Nagaland and the department and to put on record, that while it supported the status of fellow Rongmeis in Nagaland whose ancestors were listed in the 1963 E-Roll for status as indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland to avail ‘indigenous certificates’ for practical purposes and privileges, it opposed any proposition to accord recognition of Rongmei Nagas as Scheduled Tribe in Nagaland, as per the May 4 resolution. ENPO said the reso-

lution was adopted under the aegis of CEC and attended by officials of ENPO, members of CEC, federating tribal students, colleagues, president and colleagues of all frontal organisations such as ENSF, ENWO, steering committee members, advisors, prominent leaders and senior members.

3. In a rejoinder to state home commissioner Temjen Toy’s statement on granting of indigenous tribe status to the Rongmei community in Nagaland, Zeliang People Organisation (ZPO) has stated that the cabinet decision on recognition of Rongmei community was “totally against the wills and welfare” of the Zeliang community. In a statement, ZPO general secretary Kiesamyi Irangaung and joint secretary Itingau Haihing said many reminders had been submitted to the state government on the issue but the latter had turned down “genuine grievances” of Zeliang community.The organization alleged that the cabinet decision on the recognition was notified without “ascertaining” facts and without “verification and any valid reason” in 2012.

ZPO once again reminded that an emergency meeting held on August 23, 2012 hosted by Heningkunglwa Village Council had resolved to initiate appropriate steps to safeguard the rights/ privileges of the Zeliang people of Peren district in particular and Nagas in general.Stating that even the Gauhati High Court had issued an interim order to the state government, ZPO stated that the move to recognize Rongmei community in Peren district was “totally baseless” and contradicted the state of Nagaland.The organization recalled former chief Secretary L. Lungalang, who in his memorandum dated February 25, 1972 clearly stated that Naga tribes such as “Tangkhul, Mao, Zeliangrong etc. whose home are from place outside the

present jurisdiction of the state of Nagaland cannot be treated as Indigenous to Nagaland.” ZPO said former joint secretary A. Shamungam in his notification cited criteria to determine indigenous inhabitants in April 1977 followed by other notifications issued by N.I. Jamir in August 1979, I. Longkumer in April 1983 etc.The organization also took exception to the home commissioner for ignoring and overruling court order passed by the Gauhati High Court after a case was filed by one T.A. Rongmei against the state of Nagaland dated July 10, 2003. ZPO also asked on what ground and basis the home commissioner stated that historical injustice to Rongmei has been rectified. It added that the state election secretariat had also given clarification that there was no particular Rongmei name found in the electoral roll of 1963 in Kohima and Peren districts and that there was “not even an inch of land” belonging to the Rongmei community in Nagaland.

ZPO pointed out the home commissioner Temjen Toy has however correctly pointed out Zeliang tribe was included leaving out Rongmei tribe as Zeliangs had their own ancestral land/territory in Nagaland whereas Rongmei community members were “invited from Imphal valley during later part” on October 19, 1965 by the then Tribal Council Chairman Namgaheing Iheilung to “cultivate land” which was reclaimable as clearly stated in his appeal.

The organization also alleged that the enumeration report submitted by the committee was “fictitious and baseless” and reiterated that the names of those (223) Rongmei enlisted in the list submitted was not from Peren district prior to the electoral roll of 1963.Alleging that the move to recognize Rongmei was “purely political gimmick and divisive policy of some politicians”, Zeliang

People Organisation said it was made to create “disharmony among peaceful citizens in the state and Peren in particular. It has termed this policy of “dual identity” as discriminatory and was taking advantage of the “patience and meekness” of native Zeliang people of Peren district. ZPO reminded Temjen Toy to note the law of the land and “study the ground reality, fact and circumstances” before issuing clarifications and before becoming a “prey to a political trap.” Questioning the authority of the commissioner, Zeliang People Organisation said that if the government of Nagaland could accord sanction to Rongmei as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland, why not the same yardstick be followed for original Nagas living in Myanmar, Arunachal, Assam, Manipur so that equality and historical justice prevailed to the entire original Nagas.

Zeliang People Organisation added that this statement was issued based on fact and circumstances and to let every Naga intellectuals conscious of the pros and cons of Naga’s inherent rights and privileges per the given situation so as to respect the integrity of each and everyone besides giving peace a chance.

4. The CPO on Sept.28, 2016 maintained that any negotiated settlement that differed with this principle would render the outcome futile and so consent of all stakeholders must be taken for the talks to be inclusive so as that the outcome was honourable and acceptable to all people.

They also recalled that the state government notification on August 4,2012 was in pursuance of the cabinet decision on July 23,2012 to recognise Rongmei as one of the Naga tribes.

Chakhesang Public Organisation said such a status did not befit the community since they are already recognised as

a tribe in Manipur besides not having any ancestral land in Nagaland.

They however said the CPO was not inimical to accord indigenous inhabitant to the Rongmeis in line with the notification dated April 28,1977 issued by the government of Nagaland.

They urged upon the government to review the anomalies and loopholes in the Act in the greater interest of all Nagas.

A Naga will remain Naga no matter even if he/she settles in Arunachal, Myanmar, Assam, Manipur or anywhere but giving the status of an indigenous tribe is altogether a different matter. When Nagaland today has reached a saturation point in the government employment and scarcity of land and its resources, we cannot remain mute when the status of indigenous inhabitant tribe of the state is given to anyone who demands it.

The guideline notification dated the 28th of April, 1977 No. AR-8/876 had clearly defined the status of the Indigenous Inhabitants of the State of Nagaland. The criteria for determining a person to have had a permanent settlement in the state of Nagaland prior to 1-12-1963, must be a person whose name or parents’ name or legitimate guardian’s name, in case the person was then a minor should have been enlisted in the Electoral Roll published on 5-12-1963; or a person or his/her parents or legitimate guardian should have acquired property and possessed patta prior to 1-12-1963.

The Committee headed

by Shri J. Alam,IAS Home Commissioner,Nagaland clearly stated in its report “Such a status while entitling them to avail all the benefits of reservation to pursue employment and education will not make them an indigenous Naga tribe of the State”. Members of Rongmei

3. Information that is proactively disclosed must be properly and organized in such a manner that it facilitates easy retrieval.

Information on the website must be organized in a searchable and retrievable database to enable people to access this information can actually contribute to opaqueness rather than transparency.

Record management: One major constraint faced by PIOs in providing information in a timely manner is the poor state of record management in most public authorities.

Recommendations: Section 4(1) (a) of the RTI Act obligates every public authority to properly manage and speedily computerize its records.

5. Public Information Of-

ficers of the Government Training of PIOs: Many PIOs have not received any training on the RTI Act. In fact, the PIOs interviewed identified lack of training as their number on constraint. A much larger proportionate of non-PIOs civil servants, who have to provide information to the PIOs or function as first appellate authorities, have not been oriented and trained towards facilitating the right to information.

Recommendations: State government and the Information Commission should direct all Public Authorities and training institutions, that apart from conducting separate training courses for PIOs/FAA and other officers, a module on RTI should be incorporated into all training programmes, considering all government employees are subject to the RTI and most of them are potential PIOs or first appellate authorities.

6. Nagaland Information Commission Delays and pendency: Unlike Nagaland Information Commission, there are huge and growing delays in the disposal of

cases in many of the information commissions, with pendency of cases growing every month.

Recommendations: 1. Newly appointed information commissioners must be provided an opportunity to orient themselves to the law and case law. Incumbent commissioners should have an opportunity to refresh their knowledge and understanding and to discuss their experiences and thinking with commissioners from other commissions, and with experts outside the information commissions.

2. There also needs to be standardized format for Information Commission orders that ensures that at least the basic information about the case and the rationale for the decision is available in the order. Each order needs to be speaking order and contain at least the date of the applications; description of the information asked for; date of response, if any; nature of response; reasons given for refusal, if relevant; legal basis and rational for the order of the commission; whether the actions of the PIO attract a penalty under any of the grounds laid down in section 20

of the RTI Act. 3. Whenever a commissioner is due to demit office in regular course of time(by way of retirement), the government must ensure that the process of appointment of new commissioners is done well in advance so that there is no gap between previous commissioner demitting office and a new one joining in.

Composition of commission: The composition of information commissions across the country has a bias towards retired government servants. It is desirable to have a more balanced composition so that diverse expertise is represented in the commission.

Recommendations: Towards this end, the process of short-listing candidates for appointment to information commissions must be participatory and transparent, allowing public consultation and debate before a short-list is finally sent to the selection committee. The criteria used for short listing and for selection must be made public.

community who are qualified as per the criteria as laid down by a notification dated 28th of April, 1977 No. AR-8/876 is entitled to be an indigenous inhabitant of the state of Nagaland.

Nonetheless, such entitlement will not make them indigenous Naga tribe of the state.

THE STATE CABINET BLATANTLY DISCARDED THE EXPERT COMMITTEE FINDINGS AND HAD TAKEN POLITICAL DECISION TO RECOGNIZE RONGMEI TRIBE AS INDIGENOUS INHABITANT TRIBE OF THE STATE OF NAGALAND ON THE 23/7/2012 AGAINST THE POPULAR WISHES AND INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE.MOREVER, OUT OF THE TWELVE CABINET MINISTERS FOUR OF THEM DID NOT APPENDED THEIR SIGNATURE FOR THE RONGMEI RECOGNITION. On the Naga Hoho claiming ,their letter dated September 22, 2008 to the state government contained just the opinion and views of the Naga Hoho and not “endorsement” as alleged ,here the CNTC clarifies that the subject of the letter itself reads as “ GRANTING of status of Indigenous Naga Tribe to Rongmei Community settled in Nagaland.” As a matter of fact and to put the record straight the word “Granting” means yielding, surrendering, giving away, conceding or compromising and is much stronger than the word “ Endorse” which only means support or approval. The very subject of the letter states itself the Naga Hoho’s acknowledging the indigenous Naga tribe status for those Rongmeis of Nagaland on the letter itself.

This is the root cause for this entire imbroglio which need to be corrected for once and all keeping the Nagas of Nagaland future intact and preserved.

Reader’s Post To director of social welfare Kohima

Sub: Complaint on opening of bank account for old age pension beneficiaries Sir, On the subject cited above, I on behalf of the Japukong Senso Senden (Japukong Range Hoho) would like to lay down few lines for favour of your kind necessary action.

Sir, having learnt that the department is having a proposal to open bank account for all the old age pension beneficiaries for payment of their pensions. In this connection, I would like to state that, the present system of payment made through village council would be much better for the people of our range. It will be difficult for the aged and bed ridden beneficiaries to go to the bank, owing to their physical difficulties and also because of the deplorable road condition. Therefore, the under mentioned village council resolved to object the proposal for payment through bank account and instead continue with the present system of payment through our respective village councils, in the interest of the people within the area: Satsukba, Japu, Longtho, Longjemdang, Lakhuni, Alongtaki, Lizo Model, Changdang, Nokpu, Longchem, Saring, Aonokpu, Armongkong, Lirmen, Tsuremen, Akumen, Yajang A, Yajang B, Yajang C and Yajang Model.

Fund raise appeal for brain tumour patient

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 15 (NPN): Imtimenla, a 14-year-old teenage girl has been suffering from brain tumour or intracranial neoplasm diagnosed since last two years.

Her problem started from an early age but years of wrong diagnosis had taken a severe toll on the patient and her family.

Her mother, Bendangla recalled how the killer virus grew in her brain with symptoms of severe headache since she was just two-year and six months old. Imtimenla’s parents had to visit many surgeons, specialists to find out about her ailment until it was first diagnosed at Zion hospital Dimapur.

The mother expressed that on the day she found out that her daughter had a serious brain tumour, the world just caved in around her. Imtimenla was then

There was a positive signal but financial constraints again shattered their hopes as they were told that more than Rs10 lakh would be required for the surgery.

Imtimenla’s health has been deteriorating each day from the continuous seizures.

She is a 7th standard student studying at Corner Stone Higher Secondary School in Dimapur but has stopped going to school since June (last week). The family resides at Duncan Basti, Dimapur.

When all hopes seemed to have faded, a group of like-minded people came to the rescue of the family by organising a concert in aid of Imtimenla’s surgery. They have handed the proceeds of the concert to the family.

Anybody can become a part of her miracle by contributing in whatever possible way.

NEW YORK, OCT 15 (IANS): Imagine a TV that looks like glass and can be fit into your furniture’s glass panes. Panasonic has developed a protoype of an “invisible” TV which generates bright, clear images as normal TVs. According to tech website Engadget, Panasonic has improved the image quality in the new prototpye. “The OLED screen is made from a fine mesh, embedded into the glass sliding door,” the report added.

The TV image is visible even with the backlighting on.

Once it’s dimmed, the image is bright enough to be almost indistinguishable from existing TV sets.

The screen shifts between “transparent mode” where you can see the shelving behind it, and “screen mode”, where you can see the screen. “Because the display is on a railing, you can move it up and down the shelf for even greater customisability,” Engadget reported.

curbing illegal mining activity in the country, said a Ministry statement.

Developed under the Digital India Programme, MSS is one of the first such surveillance systems developed in the world using space technology, it said, adding that as the current system of monitoring of illegal mining is based on local complaints and unconfirmed information, there is no robust mechanism to monitor the action taken on such complaints.

Launching the system, Union Mines Minister Piyush Goyal said: “MSS will put a leash on illegal mining through public participation.” The system checks a region of 500 metres around the existing mining lease boundary to search for any unusual activity which is likely to be illegal mining.

N ew D elhi , O ct 1 5 (IANS): With the objective of curbing illegal mining, the government on Saturday launched the satellite-based Mining Surveillance System, an official statement said.

The system is built up to establish a regime of responsive mineral administration, through public participation, by curbing instances of illegal mining activity through automatic remote sensing detection technology, it said.

The Mines Ministry, through Indian Bureau of Mines(IBM), developed the system, in coordination with the Gandhinagar-based Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geoinformatics(BISAG) and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY), to use space technology for

ing of best practices among members.

Vikramjit Singh Sahney, Chairman, Sun International, suggested the Council to do one flagship project in all of these suggested sectors.

South Africa emphasised that the country should be considered as a platform for the rest of Africa.

Goa, Oct 15 (IANS): The BRICS Business Council, which met here on Saturday during the ongoing 8th annual summit, suggested the member countries continue the dialogue for a new rating agency for emerging economies.

“Among key recommendations of various working groups of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa Business Council is the continued dialogue on BRICS rating agency,” Onkar Kanwar, Chairman, BRICS Business Council India Chapter, said during the meet.

With a huge scope for intra-BRICS cooperation in infrastructure development and financing, the formation of a group of angel investors was also one of the key recommendations of the Council, he said. The Council said they looked upon the New Development Bank for developing an infrastructure project preparation facility and for a deep and vibrant capital market.

NEW DELHI, OCT 15 (PTI): Gold continued to slide for the second straight day today as prices fell by Rs 50 to Rs 30,250 per 10 grams at the bullion market, tracking a weak global trend amid tepid demand from jewellers.

Silver too followed suit and lost Rs 150 at Rs 42,200 per kg.

Bullion traders said sentiment remained bearish largely in line with a weakening global trend where gold declined for a third day as investors weighed the likelihood of higher US interest rates after a consumer confidence gauge unexpectedly dropped.

Globally, gold fell 0.58 per cent to USD 1,250.50 an ounce and silver by 0.49 per cent to USD 17.38 an ounce in New York in yesterday’s trade.

Furthermore, a fading demand from jewellers as well as retailers at the domestic spot market, fuelled the downtrend, they said.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity declined by Rs 50 each to Rs 30,250 and Rs 30,100 per 10 grams, respectively. The precious metal had lost Rs 100 in yesterday’s trade.

Sovereign, however, remained flat at Rs 24,300 per piece of eight grams.

Following gold, silver ready eased by Rs 150 to Rs 42,200 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 130 to Rs 41,820 per kg.

On the other hand, silver coins, however, remained unaltered at Rs 72,000 for buying and Rs 73,000 for selling of 100 pieces.

Of the $12.9 billion value, $6.5 billion is for the debt with Essar Oil and port company. Another $0.5 billion is for working capital, leaving $5.9 of equity value which is equal to the delisting price of Essar Oil. Mr Ruia said as per SEBI order the shareholders of Essar Oil will be paid if the final equity value of the deal with Rosneft is higher than the delisting price.

“We will get to know of that when the deal closes in first quarter of 2017,” he said.

The acquisition is the biggest in India and largest outbound deal for Russia. The all cash deal is expected to close in first quarter of 2017.

The deal was announced as Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting here of the leaders of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa).

Historic deal reached to cut fastest growing greenhouse gases, HFCs

Kigali, Oct 15 (PTI): In a landmark step to combat climate change, about 200 nations, including India, today struck a legally-binding deal after intense negotiations to phase down climate-damaging hydrofluorocarbons that have global warming potential thousand times more than carbon dioxide.

Negotiators and policymakers held meetings all through the night, intensely deliberating to iron out differences over the amendment to the Montreal Protocol to reach the Kigali Amendment to phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) - that are widely used in fridges, air conditioning and aerosol sprays.

The agreement reached by 197 parties on the amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is expected to prevent a global temperature rise of up to 0.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, while continuing to protect the ozone layer. According to the amendment, developed nations will reduce HFC use first, followed by China. India and nine other nations of South and West Asia will follow suit.

Overall, the deal is expected to reduce HFC use by 85 per cent by the year 2045.

Environment Minister

Anil Madhav Dave, who attended the high-level segment of the conference in the Rwandan capital Kigali, said: “We cared for our development, industrial interest and at the same time the interest of the country.”

“We were flexible, accommodative and ambitious.

The world is one family and as a responsible member of the global family, we played our part to support and nurture this agreement,” he said according to an official statement.

Speaking after the adoption of the amendment, Environment and Forest Ministry Secretary Ajay Narayan Jha said India came to the meeting “with an open mind and a sense of accommodation to get the best deal for India, for the developing countries and for the world. We have achieved that.”

The amendment will enter into force on January 1, 2019, provided that at least 20 instruments of ratification, acceptance or approval of the amendment have been deposited by states or regional economic integration organisations that are parties to the Montreal Protocol on substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

Under the amendment,

three different schedules have been set for countries to freeze and then reduce their production and use of HFCs. The developed countries, led by the US and Europe, will reduce HFC use by 85 per cent by 2036 over a 2011-13 baseline.

China, which is the largest producer of HFCs in the world, will reduce HFC use by 80 per cent by 2045 over the 2020-22 baseline. India will reduce the use of HFCs by 85 per cent over the 2024-26 baseline.

Developed countries have also agreed to provide enhanced funding support to developing countries. The Montreal Protocol amendment is legally-binding, unlike the Paris Agreement signed last year but set to enter into force next month. India’s lead negotiator Manoj Kumar Singh said: “It was very good negotiation and hope all the Parties are happy with it because major concern of major countries - all the economies - has been taken care of and it is a good balance between environment and economy,” Kumar said.

Noting that India has taken a position to have baseline of 2024-26, then freeze year in 2028 and start work thereafter, Kumar said, “we

will be having a very good ambition and doing the phase down in time”.

The baseline is the year against which each country’s consumption of HFCs is capped. Countries will have to reduce HFCs from that capped amount.

Hailing India’s role in reaching the deal, Indian climate experts said India went with a clear strategy and a proactive agenda to enhance the overall environmental ambition of the agreement and to protect the nation’s economic interests.

Director-General of Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) Sunita Narain said the Kigali amendment reflected the principal of common but differentiated responsibility. “It also reflects the emerging reality of a world in which China will have to take more and more responsibility to solve global environmental issues,” she said in a statement.

Her deputy Chandra Bhushan said the amendment “finally agreed to not only protect India’s economic interests, but also doubles the climate benefit compared to the previous Indian proposal.

It will avoid HFC emissions equivalent to 70 billion tonne of CO2.”

Baghdad, Oct 15 (AP): A suicide bombing targeting a funeral gathering in northern Baghdad today killed at least 35 people and left another 63 wounded, Iraqi police and hospital officials said.

The attack in the Shaab neighborhood occurred at around lunchtime, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement carried by the IS-linked Aamaq news agency.

The claim could not be independently verified, but it was carried by a news organisation affiliated with the IS group.

The attack comes as Iraqi security forces are preparing for an operation to retake the militant-held northern city of Mosul, the country’s second largest city, from the IS group.

In the past the extremists have increased insurgent attacks inside government-held territory far from the front lines after suffering territorial losses on the battlefield. Iraq has seen several bombings in recent months, though most have had lower death tolls than Saturday’s attack. In July, a massive car bomb in central Baghdad’s popular shopping district of Karradah killed about 300 people and forced the resignation of the country’s interior minister.

Russia slams US Children in ‘Calais Jungle’ to arrive in UK threats over cyber attacks MOSCOW, OCT 15 (Agencies): The Kremlin on Saturday slammed Washington for its “unprecedented” threats against Moscow over an alleged series of cyber attacks and vowed to respond.

Last week, Washington formally accused the Russian government of trying to “interfere” in the 2016 White House race through cyber attacks on American political institutions.

And on Friday, US Vice President Joe Biden told NBC a “message” would be sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin over the alleged hacking, with the channel saying the CIA was preparing a retaliatory cyber attack “designed to harass and ‘embarrass’ the Kremlin leadership.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov immediately denounced Biden’s remarks, saying Moscow would take precautions to safeguard its interests in the face of the increasing “unpredictability and aggressiveness of the United States”. “The threats directed against Moscow and our state’s leadership are unprecedented because they are voiced at the level of the US vice president,” RIA Novosti news agency quoted him as saying.

“To the backdrop of this aggressive, unpredictable line, we must take measures to protect (our) interests, to

Dmitry Peskov hedge risks.”

And Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov vowed Moscow would respond to any US cyber attacks, saying such threats were “borderline insolence”, the news agency said. In the NBC interview, excerpts of which were released late Friday, Biden said Washington would respond “at the time of our choosing and under the circumstances that have the greatest impact.” Earlier this week Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov shrugged off the US allegations, telling CNN the hacking claims were “flattering” but baseless, with not a “single fact” to prove it.

The Kremlin was propelled to the heart of American politics in July after Hillary Clinton’s campaign blamed Russia for an embarrassing leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee.

London, Oct 15 (Agencies): British and French officials have begun registering unaccompanied children in the Calais “Jungle” who are hoping to join relatives in Britain. A significant number of child refugees will arrive in the UK from the migrant camp within days, the BBC understands. The Children’s Commissioner for England has previously said about 300 children in the camp, from countries like Syria and Afghanistan, will come to the UK. French authorities have said they will close the camp by the end of the year.

It is estimated up to 10,000 people are living in the Jungle which is situated near the port of Calais, and close to the 31-mile Channel Tunnel.

Many of the migrants in northern France attempt to reach the UK by boarding lorries as they approach ports or the Channel Tunnel.

French President Francois Hollande wants to move the inhabitants it holds to reception centres across the country and demolish the camp. Aid groups have raised concerns that the planned closure will lead to children disappearing before they are processed.

Home Office officials in Calais have been focusing first on unaccompanied minors who have the right to join relatives under EU legislation.

At least 140 people were killed in the bombing. (Source-Internet) Sanaa, Oct 15 (Agencies): The Saudi-led coalition bombing Houthi rebels in Yemen has said it attacked a funeral hall in the capital, Sanaa, based on “bad information”.

At least 140 people were killed, most of them civilians, in the attack on 8 October - one of the single worst death tolls in the two-year conflict.

An inquiry blames “noncompliance with coalition rules of engagement” and “the issuing of incorrect information”.

The attack was heavily criticised internationally.

The 14-nation Saudi-led inquiry, carried out by the Joint Incidents Assessment Team, said coalition aircraft were wrongly told that the funeral hall was full of Houthi leaders.

It said “a party affiliated to the Yemeni presidency of the general chief of staff ” was to blame.

The inquiry also apportioned blame to the Air Operation Center in Yemen for directing aircraft onto the target without obtaining approval from the coalition’s command.

“World Food Day ” 16th October is being observed as the World Food Day commemorating the founding day of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation in 1945. World Food Day is about “ZERO” hunger, a global goal. This day is celebrated by many organizations concerned with food security including World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agriculture Development. Since 1981 World Food Day has adopted a different theme each year in order to highlight areas needed for action and provide a common focus. The theme for World Food Day 2016 is “Climate is changing, food and agriculture must too”.

At the same time, the global population is growing steadily and is expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. To meet such a heavy demand, agriculture and food systems will need to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and become more resilient, productive and sustainable.

Population growth is increasing, urbanization are coinciding with increase of poor nutrition around the world.

Climate change is going to exacerbate the loss of crop bio-diversity unless managed in a sustainable manner. Once genetic resources are gone, there will be no options to retrieve them back. One of the biggest issues related to climate change is food security. The world poorest are farmers and they are hit by increasing frequency of weather related disasters.

FAO is working with countries to improve livestock management and mitigate the effects of climate change which contribute to nearly two thirds of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) and 78% of methane emission. Deforestation accounts to 10-11% of GHG emissions. The world aims to achieve zero hunger by 2050, hence climate change is a big challenge to achieve this goal.

This year’s theme requires effective chain between the producer and the consumer. The diversity of all local food sources including wild foods is to be protected to fill the nutrient gap for livelihood support. Climate resilient agriculture production system may even change our “FOOD BASKET”. Therefore concerted efforts of all stake holders to support the conservation and sustainable use of agricultural bio-diversity, by creating awareness through knowledge, food value chain and community initiatives. Needless to say, as consumers we ought to change our attitude to food habits that is THINK, EAT and SAVE food, because there are 795 million people still suffering from insecure food supplies in the world.

The investigation called for families of the victims to be compensated. An estimated 600 people were injured in the bombing.

“Coalition forces must immediately review their rules of engagement and update their procedures to ensure adherence in future,” the inquiry team said.

The findings of this Saudi-led investigation will come as no surprise and little consolation to those caught up in the devastating air strike on a funeral in Sanaa.

Already social media postings have suggested that blaming a senior Yemeni military officer for ignoring the rules is a case of scapegoating.

But for Saudi Arabia, which was already looking for ways to extricate itself from the Yemen conflict, this could be a watershed moment.

Beyond sacking those responsible for this catastrophic breach of its targeting rules and compensating the victims’ families, the Saudi-led coalition is immediately reviewing

its rules of engagement. Will this be enough to silence those calling for the UK and US to curb their arms sales to Saudi Arabia?

Unlikely. As long as air strikes continue over Yemen civilians will continue to die, while Houthi rebels continue to fire their missiles across the border at Saudi villages. So the pressure to end this unwinnable war is greater than ever.

The conflict in Yemen pits forces loyal to the internationally recognised government of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi against Houthi rebels.

The coalition led by Saudi Arabia accuses Iran of backing the rebels and supports the president.

The United Nations says more than 6,000 people have been killed in the conflict, many of them civilians.

The coalition, which includes Saudi Arabia’s Gulf Arab allies, enjoys logistical backing from the United States but the White House condemned the bombing and said it was reviewing its assistance.

rahmaputra HarleyDavidson, the first and exclusive showroom for Harley-Davidson in the North East Region, gave Nagas an opportunity to test some of the best ranges of its premier motorcycle models.

A team from the showroom located at Samir Automobiles Pvt Ltd, NH 37, Guwahati, Assam, headed by the marketing head-Indraneel Sarma, conducted the two day test rides from Niathu Resort, 7th Mile, Dimapur.

Armed with four models of the premier motorcycles including Legendary HarleyDavidson Fat Boy, Street 750, Iron 883 and the Fat Bob, Brahmaputra Harley-Davidson gave the opportunity for the motorcycle lovers to get a taste of a real motorcycle.

Naga riders trying out the motorcycles were more than amused as they narrate the feeling they had mounting a machine well known for its durability, performance and accountability.

For over a century, Harley-Davidson, fondly called as Harley or HD has ruled the motorcycle world and some of its first models have been rebuilt, redesigned and upgraded over the years to the taste of the riders as time demanded.

Although Harley motorcycles are elusive because of its high price, Brahmaputra Harley-Davidson has made a lot of Naga motorcycle fans get a glimpse of the legendary two-wheeler by actually riding it and getting a step closer to own one as well.

The team from the showroom gave detail and clear information on the motorcycles and the merchandises that were imported from the US.

T

he New York office of Palgrave Macmillan, an international publisher of academic and professional books, journals, and reference, has published a book on the Nagas. The book, Colonization, Proselytization and Identity: The Nagas and Westernization in Northeast India, is authored

by Tezenlo Thong.

In this book, Dr. Thong “examines the formation of identity of the Nagas in northeast India in light of the proselytizing efforts by the Americans and the colonization by the British in their search for control over areas inhabited by the Nagas which were perfect for tea plantations. The author explores the westernization of Naga culture, its effect on the Naga Nationalist movement, and how it has led to the formation of modern Naga identity. As a unique indigenous group, the colonization of the Naga people offers fresh insights into our understanding of the processes and effects of colonization in India, as well as its long-term negative effects, particularly with regards to the preservation of traditional beliefs and customs.”

Dr. Thong is the author of Progress and Its Impact on the Naga: A Clash of Worldviews (Ashgate 2014/Routledge 2016) and a number of journal articles.

Sushil Kumar NEW DELHI, OCT 15 (AGENCIES): Former world champion and two-time Olympic medallist wrestler Sushil Kumar is reportedly in talks to join World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE).

According to Hindustan Times, Canyon Ceman, Senior Director of Talent Development WWE is in New Delhi to hold formal discussions with the 33-yearold Sushil to join the highly popular wrestling franchise.

The English daily also quoted Raman Rahaeja, whose company looks after the wrestler’s commercial interests, as saying that WWE is “exploring all options for Sushil to get into professional wrestling...”

If the deal is sealed, Sushil will become part of the highly successful wrestling franchise as early as 2017 with the move also aimed at opening another avenue for those who are

unable to make the cut for Olympics.

Sushil was involved in a hotly contested legal battle with the Wrestling Federation of India for their decision to send dope-tainted Narsingh Yadav to Rio Olympics in his stead.

Eventually, no Indian contested in the 74kg category after World Anti-Doping Agency imposed ban on Narsingh for doping, hours before his opening bout.

Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, OCT 15 (NPN): Sovima T20 Cricket Gold Cup Tournament took off today at Nagaland Cricket Stadium Sovima, Dimapur, Saturday with Parliamentary Secretary for Irrigation and Flood Controll, Government of Nagaland, Jacob Zhimomi as the chief guest during the inaugural function.

In his speech, Zhimomi

said Cricket was a game where job opportunity and security was available and that the government was ready to provide assistance to interested and deserving players.

Describing the change in the approach to Cricket which, a few years back was considered as a mere hobby, Zhimomi said youths now were taking the game more seriously considering the lucrative opportunity the sport

had provided in the form of numerous international personalities even in India.

“Government is aware of the opportunity Cricket has become and with tournament like this, we are headed in the right direction, there is job and profession opportunity for everyone,” he said.

He asserted that sports was a medium where success rate was high and it was the only platform where a person

could gain overnight popularity and fame provided the players were proficient and efficient in their preferred game.

The BCCI president Anurag Thakur paid a visit to the state recently and he must have seen the enthusiasm for the game among the youths in the state, Zhimomi said.

Calling on the players to be aware that their personality and attitude would be reflected during the game, the legislator urged them to maintain a team spirit while exhibiting their best during the tournament.

He further wished the best team success and thanked the organizers for coming up with such preparations to host the game.

The chief guest later tossed the coin for the first match of the tournament.

Earlier the inaugural programme was chaired by Sovima Cricket Gold Cup organizing Committee president-Jasahie Rüpreo while Sovima Village Council chairman-Neikhriehu Kense conveyed the greetings.

A total of 16 teams including nine teams from Nagaland and seven teams from Assam and New Delhi. The closing ceremony of the tournament will be held on October 26 with Governor of NagalandP.B. Acharya as the chief guest, while Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha-Neiphiu Rio and Minister for Rural Development & REPA, Government of Nagaland-C.L. John will be guests of honour.

Shanghai Masters: Murray advances SHANGHAI, OCT 15 (AGENCIES): Andy Murray is through to the Shanghai Masters final and will play Roberto Bautista Agut, after Novak Djokovic smashed his racquet and tore his shirt as he lost to the Spaniard. The world number one, 29, lost 6-4 6-4 to world number 19 Bautista Agut. Murray reached his 10th final of the year with a determined 6-4 6-3 semifinal win over France’s Gilles Simon.

The 29-year-old Briton, seeking his sixth title of the year, saw off world number 32 Simon in a confident display.

If Murray wins Sunday’s final he will be just 915 points behind Djokovic in the annual rankings points, increasing his chances of finishing as the year-end world number one.

Djokovic vents fury at umpire Having ripped his shirt open in frustration, Djokovic was further incensed at receiving a time violation when changing into a new one, raising the point forcefully with umpire Carlos Bernardes at the end of the match.

“He was the star of the show,” Djokovic said of the official. “That’s what he wanted to be today.

“But there are definitely things that I need to regain from the emotional, mental point of view.”

Djokovic, who has won the event three times and was also aiming to reach his 10th final of the season, said exhaustion may have played a part in his mood during the match. “I had to experience this sooner or later,” he said.

“I knew I could not go on playing at the highest level for so many years all the time.”

Bolt sets last race in Jamaica for June Sourabh reaches Chinese ISL: Delhi, North East in exciting draw

Usain Bolt

JAMAICA, OCT 15 (AGENCIES): Jamaica’s Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt will run his last race on home soil at June’s Racers Grand Prix before retiring from competition two months later, he

said on Friday.

The 30-year-old, who won the 100 metres at this year’s Racers Grand Prix, has already said he plans to retire from the sport after the August 5-13 World Championships

in London having won nine Olympic gold medals.

“The Racers Grand Prix will be my last race in Jamaica people, it will be the last time I run in Jamaica,” Bolt told Television Jamaica’s “Smile Jamaica” morning magazine programme.

The Racers Grand Prix will be held on June 10.

The Jamaican, who drew down the curtain on his Olympic career in August by securing a sweep of the sprint titles for a third successive Games, will resume training next month.

Bolt has wild card entries for both the 100 and 200 metres at the World Championships but remains undecided on whether he will run one or both events, saying only it will be his last competition.

“Yes I am definitely going to retire after the World Championships in London, that will be my last one,” said Bolt.

Taipei Grand Prix finals

TAIPEI CITY, OCT 15 (PTI): Indian shuttler Sourabh Varma stormed into his third successive summit clash after notching up a straight-game victory over local favourite and top seed Hsu Jen Hao in the men’s singles semi-finals of the Chinese Taipei Grand Prix badminton tournament here on Saturday.

2011 National champion Sourabh, who had reached the finals at two international challenger at Belgium and Poland, defeated Hao 11-4 11-7 11-9 in a 33 minute clash.

Sourabh, who is on a comeback trail after being on the sidelines with multiple injuries, will next take on the winner of the match between Malaysia’s Daren Liewand fifth seed Lin Yu Hsien of Chinese Taipei.

The 23-year-old from Madhya Pradesh opened up a 2-0 lead early on and then slowly crafted his way to a 8-3 lead and then pocketed the

first game with three straight points. In the second game, Hao made the early movement, leading by a slender two points but Sourabh soon turned the tables with a four-point burst and then reached 7-3 in a jiffy.

The Indian kept the foot on the pedal to grab the second game as well to go 2-0 up.

The third game was the most hard-fought contest as once again Hao had surged ahead to 5-2 and though the Indian drew parity at 5-5, Hao once again led 8-6. A three-point burst helped Sourabh to grab the lead at 9-8 and though Hao levelled the score, the Indian picked up two points to shut the door on the local hero. Sourabh won the 2013 Tata Open India International Challenge, Iran Fajr International Challenge and Austrian International in 2014.

He won his first international title by winning the Bahrain International Challenge.

N e w D e l hi , O ct 1 5 (IANS): Delhi Dynamos were lucky to have maintained their unbeaten record in the Indian Super League (ISL) after settling for an entertaining 1-1 draw against NorthEast United FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Saturday.

Delhi Dynamos surged ahead after Kean Lewis capitalised on an error from NorthEast United’s goalkeeper Subrata Paul in the 38th minute but the visitors earned a point through Emiliano Alfaro in the 51st minute. The draw saw NorthEast United FC maintain their position at the top of the table with 10 points from five matches while Delhi Dynamos are at the third position with five points from three matches.

In an entertaining clash, both teams had several chances to get the upper hand early in the game, but were found wanting in front of goal. The strikers of both teams saw plenty of chances to score, only to be

spurned. Former Real Madrid midfielder Marcos Tebar was the first to go close in the 18th minute for Delhi Dynamos as his free header from Marcelinho’s corner kick was misdirected from close range.

A minute later, NorthEast United goalkeeper Paul was called into action twice to keep away attempts from Milan Singh and Kean Lewis.

Marcelinho then had a chance to finish off the move but only ended up aiming at the sky.

NorthEast United had their chances as well, largely from defensive mistakes. First Ruben Gonzalez gave away the ball to Nicolas Velez and the Argentinean squared it for Alfaro whose shot from handshaking distance was embarrassingly wide. Katsumi Yusa and Velez too went close for the visitors. Delhi Dynamos got the breakthrough when Marcelinho’s corner saw goalkeeper Paul completely miss the flight of the ball and it fell nicely for

Lewis, who controlled it well and directed it into the goal.

NorthEast United fought their way back into the match six minutes after the second half kicked off. Typically, it came from a defensive mistake

by Delhi Dynamos after Ruben gave the ball away to Velez.

The Argentine striker, who troubled his markers with pace and swift movements, then picked up Alfaro whose shot was blocked by Delhi defender Chinglensana Singh. However, the rebound fell for Alfaro again and this time he made no mistake, bringing his team back on level terms.

Either team could have walked away with full points had their strikers remained sharp. Immediately after drawing level, Holicharan Narzary shot wide with only the goalkeeper at his mercy and then Gadze had a chance at the other end but Paul came to his side’s rescue by saving the attempt with his knee.

MDFA Trophy 2016: Sports EPL: Chelsea beat Society Suyim enter semi-finals Leicester City 3-0

Players of Sports Society Suyim (Yellow jersey) in action with OCYU (Green jersey) at the first quarter final match of the ongoing MDFA Trophy 2016 at Imkongmeren Sports Complex, Mokokchung on Saturday, October 15, 2016. Sports society Suyim won the match 1-0.

MOKOKCHUNG: The first quarter-final match of the MDFA Trophy 2016 between OCYU and Sports Society Suyim (SSS) witnessed a match of a kind – a vigorous and attacking SSS players while a formidable OCYU defense line, helped with a seasoned OCYU goalkeeper.

The quarter final match of the ongoing MDFA Trophy 2016 between OCYU and Sports Society Suyim (SSS) was a crucial match by all means.

OCYU without a loss and SSS with a large support base (as one of the favourites in the tournament) was one sided to some extent. Suyim, with their strong midfield and strikers, especially in the person of

Osen and Moatemsu – ensured a vicious attack. But, to their credit, the OCYU defense line was formidable; if not, very formidable. The first half of the match ended in a draw.

The second half witnessed the same offensive (SSS) and defending (OCYU) play.

But at the 60th minute, the attacking SSS midfielders found a gap in the four-man strong OCYU defense. A shot was attempted which was deflected by the OCYU goalkeeper, but somehow right into the boots of Ngulie Pochury (7) who scored the first and the only goal in the 59th minute.

The onslaught by Sports society Suyim was relentless even after the first goal. The

OCYU played defensive till the very last minute of the match. The ball possession, as per rough estimates from the MDFA technical officials were in favour of Sports Society Suyim (SSS), who gave their vote in favour of SSS 45-30 percent.

Meanwhile, the match patron for the first quarter was the Superintendent of Excise, Mokokchung Moarenba. Upcoming young singer, Mejena, a thirteen year old schoolgirl, presented a special song at the programme.

2nd Quarter Final Match Monday, October 17.

Time 1:30pm Dilong Y/A Vs Socianian FC

London , O C T 1 5 ( A G E N C I ES ) : L e i c e s t e r slumped to another big defeat before a Champions League game, losing 3-0 to Chelsea in the English Premier League on Saturday. Diego Costa scored his league-leading seventh goal to set Chelsea on its way in the seventh minute, before further goals by Eden Hazard and Victor Moses at Stamford Bridge.

Leicester has sustained three-goal defeats before each of its games in the Champions League group stage this season, having already lost 4-1 to both Liverpool and Manchester United. Leicester’s susceptibility at set-pieces struck again, with Costa driving in a finish at the back post after a low right-wing corner was flicked on by Nemanja Matic. Chelsea made it 2-0 in the 33rd when Pedro Rodriguez somehow managed to flick the ball forward after falling on the ground. Hazard ran onto the loose ball, rounded Kasper Schmeichel, and tucked it home.

Chelsea defender David Luiz struck a free kick against the post – and then directed a sliding clearance against his own goal frame _ before Moses exchanged a one-two with substitute Nathaniel Chalobah and finished under Schmeichel in the 80th.

Arsenal 3-2 Swansea City Theo Walcott struck twice as 10-man Arsenal moved level with Premier League leaders Manchester City and consigned Bob Bradley to an enthralling 3-2 defeat in his first match in charge of Swansea City on

Saturday. Some slack defending from Swansea was punished by Walcott twice in the first half at the Emirates Stadium, taking his tally to six goals in his last five Arsenal appearances in all competitions.

Stoke City 2-0 Sunderland Joe Allen’s first-half double saw Stoke City brush Sunderland aside to deepen the visitors’ woes.

West Brom 1-1 Tottenham: A late Dele Alli equaliser gifted Tottenham a 1-1 draw with West Brom after Nacer Chadli’s strike against his former club had looked to have given Tony Pulis’ men victory at The Hawthorns.

Manchester City 1-1 Everton Manchester City missed two penalties but still came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at home to Everton and stay top of the Premier League on Saturday.

Bournemouth 6-1 Hull City Bournemouth completely outclassed Hull City on Saturday, as they thumped the Tigers 6-1 in Mike Phelan’s first match in permanent charge of the Tigers. Phelan was finally confirmed as Hull head coach this week, but the dogged defensive solidity he had inspired in the early weeks of the season melted away at the Vitality Stadium as Eddie Howe’s side ran rampant. As talk swells of Howe’s long-term prospects of taking the England job, the Cherries’ win was built on home-grown talent - all of their six goals were scored by Englishmen.
