Wuzu inquiry Commission:
Nov 11 set for CABINET SIDESTEPS SEPT 22, 2012 RESOLUTION ON WOMEN QUOTA submission of Staff Reporter that Article 371A stated that: the state legislature under Rule (1) Notwithstanding anything 221-A(1) appointed a Select list of witnesses Dimapur, Oct 21 (NPN): A legal interpretation, that unless the state cabinet first resolves the September 22,2012 Nagaland Legislative Assembly resolution which exempt Part IX-A of Article 243(T) on 33% women reservation in civic polls from applicability; holding civic polls cannot be enforced, as it would be going against the spirit of Article 371(A) as enshrined in the Constitution of Indian. This interpretation made by former Additional Advocate General Nagaland, Pius Lotha has virtually thrown a legal spanner in the works of state chief minister T.R. Zeliang and his cabinet on holding civic polls with 33% women reservation under Part IX-A of Article 243(T). In a press communiqué Pius maintained that first, the September 22, 2012 resolution of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly has to be resolved by the Assembly itself in order to nullify the amended Act before the decks are cleared for calling for elections to civic bodies with 33% women reservation. However, it was also noted that Article 371(A) that is enshrined in the constitution of India protects Nagaland from any Act passed by Parliament unless the Nagaland Legislative Assembly adopts a resolution to the effect. In his communiqué Pius reminded
Racial violence against NE people: SC grants time to govt NEW DELHI, OCT 21 (PTI): The Centre today got a week’s time from Supreme Court to inform it about the proposal to set up a nodal agency to coordinate on the issue of hate crimes and racial violence, especially against the people of North East living in other states. When the matter came up for hearing before a bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur, Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh said “I will take instructions from Ministry of Home and inform about the issue of nodal agency.” The bench, also comprising Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and L. Nageswara Rao, accepted the plea of the law officer and posted the matter for hearing on October 28. The court on October 18 had expressed displeasure over the steps taken to address the issues of northeastern people, many of whom have fallen victims to hate crimes and racial violence in the past. SC had stressed that there should be a nodal agency to address the issues of Northeastern people and such an agency, at the time of need, could be asked to implement measures and coordinate with various departments. The bench had said the Bezbaruah committee, set up by the Home Ministry on February 5, 2014 after several incidents of hate crimes, had made several immediate and short term measures along with long term measures and all this should not remain only on paper.

in this constitution; (a) No Act of Parliament in respect of (i) religious or social practices of Nagas (ii) Naga customary law and procedures (iii) administration of civil and criminal justice involving decisions according to Naga customary law and (iv) ownership and transfer of land and its resources, shall apply to the state of Nagaland, unless the Legislative Assembly of Nagaland by a resolution so decides. Based on the above Act, various rights and privileges provided therein were propounded, he said. He pointed out that the Nagaland Legislative Assembly had passed the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 (Act. No.10 of 2001) which came into effect after the Governor’s assent on September 26,2001 and published in the Gazette Extraordinary dated October 18, 2001. In 2006 the Act was amended to effect Part IX-A of Article 243T on 33% women reservation. However, with approaching civic body elections there were several tribal groups who objected to applicability of 33% women reservation under Article 243T by submitting several representations to the government, he said. Amidst the high voltage tussle between opposing groups, Pius pointed out that
Committee to revisit the 33% women reservation and based on the report submitted by it, the Nagaland Legislative Assembly adopted a resolution on September 22,2012 to exempt Part IX-A of the constitution of India pertaining to 33% women reservation in municipal and town councils which effectively nullified the Act of 2001. Meanwhile, it may be mentioned that the Naga Mothers Association (NMA) had demanded holding of civic polls due in the state with implementation of 33% women reservation. Representative of NMA filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) against the July 31, 2012 judgement of the Division Bench of the Gauhati High Court . The Supreme Court on April 5,2016 granted the appeal and also stayed the application of the impugned order of the Division Bench Gauhati High court. The case has yet to be concluded since final hearing has also not been held. At the heart of the matter remains the legal validity and sanctity of Article 371A, which has been reaffirmed on several occasions by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly. The Article 371A also involves the stakeholders who are- the entire Naga tribes of Nagaland, the stewardship of the elected representatives and the state government.

First e-payment facility in state for electricity bills launched Staff Reporter
DIMAPUR, OCT 21 (NPN): In a major relief to consumers who have had to wait for long hours in queues to pay their electricity bills, Power minister, C. Kipili Sangtam on Friday officially launched the online payment or e-payment facility of electricity bill here at Electrical office Complex, Full Nagarjan, Dimapur. With just a few clicks, consumers can now pay their electricity bills sitting at home by logging on to www. dopn.gov.in. It may be noted that Power department has become the first utility department in the state to provide online payment facility for services rendered. Initially, the e-payment facility would be available for consumers under SDO I and SDO III at Dimapur and further extended to SDO II Dimapur, Chumukedima and Kohima by end of 2016 and rest of the towns by 2017. As the department prepares to implement the central government RAPDRP, Part-A (IT) Project in nine towns, the pilot project would first be implemented in Dimapur. Speaking at the launching programme, Kipili remarked that launching of the facility was a very important milestone achieved by the Power department. While admitting the department’s shortcomings in providing stable power sup-

(NP) ply and consumer services, Kipili maintained the department alone cannot be squarely blamed as it was plagued with shortage of fund and manpower. He lamented that citizens fail to understand that the department is a commercial department vested with supply of power and realise revenue-revenue that can be spend on infrastructure development, consumer services, and power purchase. “Are we honestly paying our electricity bill?” the minister questioned and urged upon citizens to ponder over how much they were contributing towards the wealth/resources of the state for development. Expressing astonishment over the 68 percent AT&C loss in electricity revenue during 2015-16, Kipili said the state was almost catering free elec-
tricity. Terming it as a moral issue, the minister said the main factor responsible for revenue loss was due to power theft and non-payment of bills. Kipili expressed hope that the facility would not only ease consumers for payment of bills, but would also impact the department’s commercial operations/performance and revenue collection. Kipili also informed that very soon customers will have access to Customer Service Centre (CCC) centrally located at Dimapur for lodging their grievances and service related queries online. He further congratulated the officers and staff of Dimapur electrical division, CERMS, TCS Ltd, and Bill Desk for working tirelessly towards launching of online payment facility. (Cont’d on p-7)
NNC/GDRN (NA) reacts DIMAPUR, OCT 21 (NPN): In a sharp reaction to GDRN/ NNC (Non-Accord) claim that its Naga army shot “impeached president” Kiumukam, the NNC/GDRN (NA) MIP on Friday said it wanted to know what impeachment “Kumchi and Hangping gang are talking about”. Instead, MIP reminded GDRN/NNC (Non-Accord) that impeachment meant formal accusation of wrongdoing against public official. “Do you think egging false allegation, then going off track, attempting assassination, creating another cover-up story is formal accusation”, MIP said. If further, asked GDRN/ NNC (NA) not to try to terrorize the Nagas, who are yearning for a peaceful solution. It claimed that NNC/GDRN (NA) ‘tatar hoho’ also failed to understand the word impeachment used by “Kumchi and Hangping gang”. Whatever it was, MIP said that it would not have impact on NNC/GDRN (NA) but will remain intact and keep moving ahead with its objectives. MIP contented that, “Toivi Sumi attempt to assassinate president Kiumkum in collaboration with few rogue elements will not be overlooked”. However, in defense of NNC/GDRN (NA), the MIP warned of retaliation in whatever possible means. Further, MIP said that will be the final decision of the Naga army as the gang were “still braving out with false propaganda” after they failed in the assassination attempt.

Kohima, Oct 21 (NPN): Accompanied by hundreds of people, many waving banners and placards, who turned up in a show of solidarity, former chief minister and present
Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio marched to the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class as summoned, to make his statement in the case filed against his election affidavit on his educational qualification 2014 by Dr. Rosemary Dzuvichu on
February 11, 2016. The case against was heard in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate First Class (CJMFC) Tucuno Vamuzo after it was shifted from the court of CJMFC Mezivolu T. Therieh on an appeal by
Rio’s counsel. The counsel for the complainant appealed for time of two weeks on the plea that they had sought the High Court’s intervention in the transferring of the case. Considering their appeal, the lower court deferred the hearing to November 11. Speaking to media persons outside the Court, Rio Advocate B.K. Mahajan said the case against Rio politically motivated and a vendetta by his opponents. On his part, Rio denied any wrongdoing since Kohima College had apologized for having erroneously issued duplicate BA (Honours in Political Science) certificate instead of BA. Rio maintained that even on his election nominations in 2013 and 2014 he had never mentioned that he passed BA with honours. Asked why he had not informed college authorities to correct the mistake after getting the certificate, Rio said “As the Chief Minister of the State I had been busy and did not see that I had been issued with BA (Honors) certificate.” Admit-
ting that the error in filing affidavit was committed 2014 Lok Sabha election,Rio explained that “since the documents were already there, my people must have seen the papers and recorded as it was found”. “I had never mentioned that I am BA (Honors) but recorded as BA from Kohima College Kohima under North East Hills University in any of the profiles in State Assembly (Who is Who) and even in the Lok Sabha,” he said. Rio said he appeared before the Court in person Friday, to dispel misgivings and prove his innocence to allegations made against him on the educational qualification issue. When asked if it was a “political war” between him and incumbent chief minister T.R. Zeliang, Rio replied “I have no political war with anybody but if they have it with me that I don’t know”. The MP, who arrived at the court with his advocates, was welcomed by hundreds of his supporters holding placards that read: “Rio is the only answer, Truth will prevail”.

Nicky launches ‘Energy Efficient Nagaland’ CMO Nagaland reacts to Ibobi’s statement DIMAPUR, OCT 21 (NPN): Nagaland minister of Forest, Environment & Climate Change, Dr. Neikiesalie Nicky Kire, on Friday launched the “Energy Efficient Nagaland”, under Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) scheme at DC’s Conference Hall, Kohima. UJALA scheme, energy efficient fans and tube lights programmes are being implemented by Energy Efficient Service Limited (EESL), a JV under the administration of Central Ministry of Power.

initiated such a programme and expressed confidence that better outcome would prevail in future. On the occasion, the minister appealed to all the officers from different districts to initiate the programme and move forward in their respective districts to ensure that the whole state was covered with this programme. Urging every household to take this programme seriously, Dr. Nicky further appealed to all the representatives to go back and introduce
it in all the house, wards, colonies and villages so everyone get benefitted. Further, he added that it would not only reduce the electricity bills but would also help reduce climate change. “Very often we keep blaming the power department without giving them what they fully required,” said Dr. Nicky and added that the power department required heavier transformers as the existing transformers were quite old to take the load. “Not only the Power
Dept but if each department is given its requirements, each department will make a lot of improvements in its respective area” he added. In his keynote address, the deputy commissioner (DC) Kohima, Rovilatuo Mor, said the district administration has taken up the initiative to tackle with the problem of wide gap between high demand and short supply of power. He said the grim scenario of power status in Kohima district was that the installed capacity was 24 MVA with 132/33KV (maximum), the demand for power was 26 MV with an increase of 2MV/ every year. DC said with the festive season approaching, it was expected to cross 30MV, which he warned would only invite more frequent loadshedding. He said that the district has taken up the initiative in direct liaise with the EESL for procurement/distribution and installation of highly subsidized LED bulbs/tubes/fans throughout the district.

DIMAPUR, OCT 21 (NPN): Reacting to the statements made by Manipur chief minister, O. Ibobi against Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang during his visit to Senapati, Chief Minister’s Office media cell clarified that Zeliang had “spoken about the need for the Nagas of Manipur to be united to protect their birth right over their land, customs, culture and tradition”. Zeliang, at no point mentioned about territorial integration or disintegration, which Ibobi seems to have assumed, CMO added. However, CMO avoided any reaction to Manipur BJP spokesperson, O. Joy’s statement accusing Zeliang of “instigating disintegration not only Manipur but also unity of India” O Joy had also demanded Manipur government to take up legal action against T.R. Zeliang. CMO said Zeliang had only expressed his opinion that the August 3, 2015 Framework Agreement seemed to be a Preamble, and not the final agreement, which was indicative of the intention of both the
negotiating parties to settle the issue amicably without use of force or violence. Zeliang had also specifically stated that he believed the final agreement would be finalised after having wide-ranging consultations with the stake-holders. CMO, however said Ibobi seemed to have more than jumped the gun and had gone ahead to perceive apparitions where there were none. CMO alleged that “Ibobi had already segregated the communities of Manipur, injected the politically-major valley voters with venom, and on the eve of every election, unfailingly raise the issue of integrity of his State just to gain political mileage”. Accusing Ibobi that he had already emotionally disintegrated the State into pieces, CMO said he (Ibobi) had once again shown how he had retained power all these years. CMO said Ibobi has had the habit of making wild speculations against the tribals of Manipur, especially Nagas, to ensure that the people of the Valley, comprising of various communities and ethnic
groups, are kept on tenterhooks before the elections and come together to vote for him. “It would appear that his only political agenda for the people is to go against the Nagas and tribals just to fetch the votes of the varied communities of the Valley and hang on to power,” CMO stated. Wondering why Ibobi was so vehement against Zeliang’s visit to Manipur, CMO reminded that Zeliang had never mentioned anything about disintegration of Manipur, but merely asked the Southern Nagas to stand united and fight for their birth right over traditional holdings of land and customary systems. Rather than construing it as anti-Manipur, CMO opined that Ibobi should take it as a positive suggestion to ensure justice in the land. “And it is much better than taking the lives of scores of tribals protesting against Bills which were infamously dubbed “antitribal Bills” by none other than the communities of his own State,” CMO said.

Beneficiaries face problems receiving ENCSU phase-II stir in Longleng NSAP entitlements in Wokha district
Correspondent
WOKHA, OCT 21 (NPN): A recent survey funded by the European Union (EU) has revealed that all Wokha district beneficiaries of National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) faced problems receiving their entitlements while a mere 5 percent of them have lodged official complaints about it. The European Union (EU) funded project on ‘Improving access to information and delivery of public service schemes in remote and backward districts of NorthEast (NE) states of India’ also found that Wokha district NSAP beneficiaries received a pension of Rs.800 on an average in a 6-12 months period and that Village Council meetings played a limited role in creating awareness about the scheme. Carried out in the later part of 2015, the survey which covered 28 villages from 2 blocks of Wokha district also found that 50% of beneficiaries got to know about NSAP from neighbours and friends and through notices/sign boards at the GP office while 60% of beneficiaries were not aware of the process of submitting the application forms. This European Unionfunded project covers 7 backward districts across 5 NE states, namely, Goalpara and Cachar in Assam, Ri-Bhoi in Meghalaya, Churachandpur
and Chandel in Manipur, Lawngtlai in Mizoram, and Wokha in Nagaland. The project is being implemented by the Parisbased French NGO Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) along with Guwahati-based North East India Committee on Relief and Development (NEICORD) which in partnership with local NGO Team Metamorphosis (TM) is responsible for field implementation, Bangalorebased Public Affairs Center (PAC) which is tasked with the research component, and the Guwahati-based Nanda Talukdar Foundation (NTF) as its media advocacy component. The project seeks to achieve three main results, namely, to encourage demand for improved service delivery, improved access to and quality of public services particularly for the most marginalized and women, and to enhance transparency of service providers for 10 central government flagship schemes: IAY, JSSK, ICDS, MDM, MGNREGA, RKVY, NBA/TSC, RGGVY, NSAP, and TPDS. NSAP was introduced in 1995 by Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India. In Nagaland, it is under the department of Social Welfare.

Diphu, Oct 20: The Karbi Students’ Youth Assembly (KSYA) has demanded CBI probe to unearth the alleged financial scams in 30 departments functioning under Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC). “ T h e C E M s, E M S, MLAs, MPs, Engineers and other government officials are to be blamed for poor infrastructure and deprivation in the district. They have been canalizing the government funds meant for development including old age pension, widow pension, funds for farmers, students towards their personal coffer and utilizing it to support their lavish lifestyles while the common people are left high and dry,” alleged KSYA propaganda secretary Chesong Engti. The organization in its press note stated that “no one involved will be spared including political party leaders who have been in power like the Congress for not fulfilling their pre-poll promises made to the public and indulging in unabated swindling of funds sanctioned by the center and state governments.” KSYA has also threatened to launch vigorous protests if their demands are not met.

Aga rtala , O c t 2 1 (IANS): Dismissing the Trinamool Congress (TMC) proposal to form an alliance to defeat the Left Front in the November 19 bypolls to two assembly seats in Tripura, the BJP on Friday announced its candidates. The Congress too rejected the TMC appeal and will announce its nominees on Saturday. The Election Commission will hold the by-elections on November 19 in Barjala and Khowai assembly constituencies in Tripura. The Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded former Tripura Civil Service Officer Shista Mohan Das for the Barjala seat and Tapan Kumar Paul in the Khowai constituency. “No alliance of non-Left parties will be formed. TMC, unilaterally declaring its candidates, urged all non-Left parties to form an alliance to defeat the candidates of ruling Left Front in the next month’s by-elections,” BJP vice-president Subal Bhowmik told IANS. “The TMC leadership did not discuss on the issue with us, probably with no other parties.

The last incident of rhino poaching was reported on June 18 when the state Director General of Police was there to hold meetings in the Park’s Kohora Range office with officials of various departments on ensuring security and safety of rhinos and other animals there.

Prior to that, during the visit of British Royal couple, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge in April, a male rhino was shot dead by poachers using AK-47 rifle.

to the mystery, a handwritten 60-page note was found near Pul’s body, titled ‘My Thoughts’, which was sealed by the police. A case of unnatural death was registered and the state government had ordered a magisterial inquiry. The sudden death had caused a stir in this Himalayan state’s already volatile politics and led hundreds of Pul supporters to take to the streets, alleging foul play and demanding a CBI inquiry. The state saw a major political churn last month with chief minister Pema Khandu along with 42 MLAs leaving the Congress and joining the Peoples’ Party of Arunachal. The 60-member state Assembly now has 11 MLAs belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party, three to Congress and two Independents. In a swift turn of events in state’s unstable political canvas, senior BJP leader Tamyio Taga was sworn-in as minister on October 14, making the BJP coalition partner of Khandu-led PPA government to become an alliance of Northeast Democratic Alliance (NEDA) headed by Assam Minister Hemanta Biswa Sharma.

KSYA demands CBI enquiry
Itanagar, Oct 21 (PTI): The circumstantial evidence and the forensic report into the cause of former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Kalikho Pul’s death show there are “99 per cent chances” that he committed suicide, state DGP S Nithiyanandam said today. IGP Naving Payeng said the Capital district Superintendent of Police had received the report of Pul’s viscera test from the Guwahati-based forensic science laboratory last week. “There are 99 per cent chances that he committed suicide,” state DGP S Nithiyanandam told PTI. The 47-year-old leader’s body was found hanging in the official CM bungalow here on August 9, less than a month after he had to quit as CM following the July 13 Supreme Court verdict. Denying that he had given any press statement ruling out foul play in his death, Payeng said the report did not find presence of any poisonous evidence and confirmed it was a case of suicide. However, all reports would be sent to the court, whose verdict on the cause of death would be final, he categorically stated. Adding
Carcass of rhino recovered in Kaziranga
K a z i r anga , O c t 2 1 (PTI): Carcass of an adult male rhino, killed by poachers and its horn taken away, was recovered at Kaziranga National Park (KNP) in Assam today, taking the toll to 14 this year, a forest department official said. The carcass of the rhino riddled with bullets and its horn sawn off was recovered near Balipukhuri forest camp in Agratoli Range of the Park, said DFO KNP Suvashish Das. Forest guards at the park had heard gun shots the day before yesterday and launched a search operation leading to the recovery of the carcass today, he said. Following the incident of poaching, state forest minister Pramila Rani Brahma has rushed to Kaziranga.

The UGC team who visited the varsity campus on Thursday to look into the crisis had reportedly advised the MU authority to follow the Central reservation policy. In the meantime, noting the unabated impasse within the MU, Manipur government wrote a letter to the secretary of the department of higher education of Union ministry of human resource development recalling an earlier letter sent on October 4, 2016. The letter written by state chief secretary reportedly expressed concern while highlighting the prevailing deadlock/impasses out of the reservation in admission of students in PG courses. It further expressed fear of losing academic year and serious law and order problem if the impasse is allowed to continue unresolved. On the other hand, JAC against the Implementation of State Reservation Policy in Admission in Manipur University is continuing its relay hunger strike.

fight strongly against the ruling Left Front,” he said. The TMC had urged opposition parties to field united candidates for the bypolls to defeat the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CMI-M)-led Left Front in the state. According to party President Surajit Datta and party leader Sudip Roy Barman, the TMC appealed to all opposition parties to support it to avert division of opposition votes in both assembly bypolls. Barman, who led a split in the main opposition Congress recently, said: “To free Tripura from the clutches of CPI-M-dominated Left Front, the opposition must unite.” The TMC earlier this week nominated former minister Prakash Das for the Barjala constituency and Manoj Das, a former CPI-M leader, for the Khowai constituency. A large number of Congress leaders, including Das and six party legislators led by Barman, recently quit the Congress protesting the party’s alliance with the Left Front in West Bengal polls. Rejecting the TMC appeal, the Congress said the TMC itself damaged the op-
tion by unilaterally declaring its nominees for the bypolls. “Before announcing candidates, the TMC should have discussed the issue. We will declare our candidates on Saturday,” Tripura Congress Vice President Tapas Dey said. The Left Front on Monday declared their aspirants -- youth leader Jhumu Sarkar in Barjala and district party secretary Biswajit Datta in Khowai. Ahead of the 2018 polls in the Left-ruled Tripura, the crucial bypolls are set to be a multi-cornered contest, giving an electoral gain to the ruling CPI-M. The Barjala assembly seat fell vacant after the Congress legislator Jitendra Sarkar resigned on June 6 this year following internal feud in the main opposition party. The Khowai seat has been vacant since the death of veteran CPI-M legislator Samir Deb Sarkar, who was the chief whip of the Left Front in the 60-member state assembly. In all 39,007 electorate, including 18,935 female, will be eligible to vote in the Barjala seat, while 39,400 voters, including 19,436 women, will cast votes in Khowai.

IMPHAL, Oct 21: The crisis ridden Manipur University Friday got its third vice-chancellor in-charge in less than a month. The appointment of Prof Amar Yumnam as new vice-chancellor came up barely a day after recently appointed vice-chancellor Prof Th Jekendra resigned from the post. Manipur University has been reeling under crisis after the authority decided to follow UGC guidelines in the reservation of seats in the admission to various courses of the university. In the wake of unabated crisis, the then vice-chancellor Prof P Nabachandra resigned from the post in the first week of October. He had resigned taking moral responsibility for the prevailing crisis in the university. Following his resignation, Prof Th Jekendra took over the charge of vice-chancellor on October 4 last. He tendered his resignation from the post late Thursday compelling the authority to appoint another vice-chancellor for the second time within a fortnight. Soon after he assumed the office as vice-chancellor
in-charge, Jekendra tried to resolve the impasse over the reservation of seats for admission in different courses of the institution. However, a decision of the Academic Council of the MU convened under his chair to adopt Central Educational Institutions Reservation (Admission) Act 2006 on October 8 last happened to add fuel to the unabated crisis. Pressing the authority to review the decision and demanding adoption of Central Educational Institutions Reser vation (Admission) Amendment Act-2012, tribal students of the university under the banner of Manipur University Tribal Students’ Union (MUTSU) had left their respective hostels of the university. On the other hand, a group of students under the banner of JAC Against The Implementation Of State Reservation Policy In Admission in Manipur University has been pressing the authority to implement the decision of the Academic Council taken on October 8 last which was reaffirmed on October 11. Condemning the ‘inconsiderate’ nature of the UGC team over the impasse, over 500 students of the university surrendered their identity

CBI files case in 2008-Embraer aircraft deal; defence agent Vipin Khanna named key accused (File) NEW DELHI, OCT 21 (PTI): CBI has registered a case against NRI arms dealer Vipin Khanna and two companies based abroad in a case of alleged kickbacks worth over USD 5.70 million in connection with three aircraft deals with Embraer signed in 2008. CBI sources said today that Khanna, whose name had figured earlier also in defence deals probed by the agency, has been booked along with two companies--Brazil-based Embraer and Singapore based Interdev Pte Ltd--in conenction with the deals totalling USD 208 million. It is alleged that the kickbacks were allegedly routed from subsidiaries of Embraer to Khanna through Interdev.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur saturday, October 22, 2016
The sources said the agency had carried out searches at several locations here yesterday. The operation continued till late in the evening. Khanna had faced CBI probe in a gun deal involving South African company Denel in which the agency had to file a closure report as it could not gather enough evidence from abroad. He had also faced the agency probe in the Barak missile deal with Israel and sale of arms to Pakistan. Khanna is believed to be a relative of a former Congress leader and his son was an MLA in Punjab till last year. The sources also said that it is alleged that the commission in Embraer deal was
routed through Austria and Switzerland. They said the agency, which had registered a preliminary enquiry in September, has converted it into a regular FIR on October 18 as enough prima facie material has been found by it to proceed in the case. The deal for the three aircraft which were to be used by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for air-borne radar systems was inked with Embraer in 2008. A Brazilian newspaper had alleged that that the aviation company had taken the services of middlemen to clinch deals in Saudi Arabia and India. According to defence
procurement rules of India, middlemen are strictly barred in such deals. Leading Brazilian newspaper ‘Folha de Sao Paulo’ had reported that the company allegedly paid commissions to a UK-based defence agent to finalise the deal with India. DRDO had purchased three aircraft from the company in 2008 and customized them for serving as air-borne radar system known as airborne early-warning and control systems or AWACS for the Indian Air Force. The company has been under investigation by the US Justice Department since 2010 when a contract with the Dominican Republic raised US suspicions, the report said. Since then, the investigation has widened to examine business dealings with eight more countries. After the PE was registered, Embraer had issued a statement saying, “Since 2011, Embraer has publicly reported that it has been conducting an extensive internal investigation and cooperating with the authorities on investigations regarding alleged violations of the FCPA. “The company voluntarily expanded the scope of the investigation, systematically reporting the progress of the case to the market.” “The company is not party of the legal proceedings in Brazil. Therefore, it does not have access to the information contained therein,” it had said.
App to control air pollution launched N ew D elhi , O ct 2 1 (IANS): The Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA), a Supreme Courtappointed pollution watchdog, on Friday launched a mobile app “Hawa Badlo”, aiming to improve air quality with public participation. Jointly developed by EPCA, Delhi’s municipal corporations and concerned departments from Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Haryana, the app provides a public platform to report the incidents causing air pollution. The complaints will be forwarded by EPCA to the concerned officials. “The app aims at an inclusive participation of citizens in reporting incidences of leaf and garbage burning, building and construction dust and unpaved road dust, and thereby makes them part of the city’s fight to curb toxic air pollution,” said EPCA Chairperson Bhure Lal. The app will also facilitates the concerned officials to help resolve cases related to air-pollution and then upload the GPS tagged evidences of results such as photo and copy of the challan. “The app is expected to act as an accountability, public information dissemination and public engagement mechanism,” said Sunita Narain, member EPCA and head Centre for Science and Environment. The app will also generate weekly reports on the status of the cases and action taken. This information will be submitted to the Supreme Court on actions taken in compliance with its orders.
Govt has sought report on debit card data compromise: Jaitley
New Delhi, Oct 21 (PTI): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Friday said the government has sought a detailed report on the extent of debit card data compromise following the biggest security breach in the Indian banking industry that affected over 32 lakh card holders. The gover nment has asked RBI and banks to provide details of the data breach and also banks’ preparedness to deal with cyber crimes. “Have sought a report in the debit card issue. The idea is to contain the damage,” Jaitley told reporters here. Several banks, including state-owned SBI, have recalled a number of cards, while many others blocked the ones suspected to have been compromised and asked their customers to change PIN (personal identification number) before use. There are some 60 crore debit cards
Arun Jaitley operational in India, of which 19 crore are indigenously developed RuPay ones while the rest are Visa- and Master Cardenabled. Fraudulent withdrawals have been reported from 19 banks so far while complaints have been received from a few banks that their customers’ cards were used fraudulently abroad, mainly in China and the US while the customers
were in India. Meanwhile, Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said there is no need to panic over the feared security breach and promised swift action in the matter. SBI is said to have recalled around 6 lakh cards while others like Bank of Baroda, IDBI Bank, Central Bank and Andhra Bank have replaced debit cards of several customers as a pre-emptive measure. Among private sector players, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Yes Bank have asked customers to change their ATM PINs. HDFC Bank also advised its customers to use its own ATMs for carrying out any transaction. The suspected security breach happened through a malware in the systems of Hitachi Payments Services, which serves ATM network of Yes Bank and also some white-label ATMs.
SC freezes BCCI’s financial powers
New Delhi, Oct 21 (Agencies): The Supreme Court has again come hard on Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) by blocking the funds to state associations and giving the board two weeks time to implement Lodha reforms. According to India Today, the apex court has also appointed an independent auditor to monitor the financial transactions of BCCI and set a threshold beyond which the board will have to take permission from the Lodha Panel. The auditor and Lodha panel to work together oversee the contracts entered into by the BCCI. This may impact the Indian Premier League and other major advertising agreements. The apex court also directed the BCCI to file an affidavit within two weeks on how will the Lodha recommendations be completed. Moreover, SC has also asked the BCCI president Anurag Thakur to appear
before the Lodha panel. The Supreme Court has also given power to the Lodha panel to oversee financial transactions beyond the accepted threshold. The threshold will be set by the auditor and Lodha Panel. State associations would not be given any funds till they comply with the Lodha reforms. A copy of the Supreme Court order has to be sent to the International Cricket Council to make them aware of the sanctions on the BCCI. In its hearing on October 7, the top court also barred the BCCI from releasing any funds to its state affiliates until they give an unconditional undertaking that they will comply with the organisational reforms as recommended by the committee. Pronouncing the order, the Supreme Court had said that the state associations would not get funds unless a resolution is passed to implement the reforms.
Bird flu scare: ‘No threat to humans’ Rajnath pays tribute on National Police Commemoration Day
Spraying is carried out by a veterinary department worker at Gazipur Murga Mandi in Delhi on Friday in the wake of Bird Flu scare. (PTI) NEW DELHI, OCT 21 (IANS):The Delhi government Friday ruled out any threat to human beings due to the bird flu or avian influenza as the strain of the virus is “less infective”, even as six ducks were found dead in the national capital. Development Minister Gopal Rai said the H5N8 virus were found in the samples of three birds which had recently died at Delhi zoo, and not the H5N1 virus, which are more “infective” and “may affect humans”. Addressing a press conference here, Rai said there is no need to panic as all measures are in place to deal with the any situation. “The category of H5N8 influenza has been found in the samples of three birds died recently at Delhi zoo. Experts suggested that H5N8 is not harmful for human. This virus
has also been found in US, Japan, Netherlands, China and other countries where H5N8 has not affected human,” he said. Rai today chaired a meeting with Chief Secretary and officials from departments concerned over the situation. The Minister said six ducks have also been found dead in Deer Park and no death has been reported from any part of the national capital. “We have sent samples of the dead ducks to a laboratory in Bhopal. So far, 24 bird deaths were reported from different places,” he said. The Delhi government yesterday shut down Deer Park in the wake of five bird deaths. Meanwhile, according to IANS, six more birds died at the now shut Deer Park here on Friday, taking the total reported death count of migra-
tory birds in the capital due to bird flu to 24. A sample of eight birds was first sent to the regional lab in Jalandhar and later to the central lab in Bhopal. The initial reports said H1 virus was found in three of the birds. The Delhi government received the final report on Thursday evening. “The H1N1 is the most dangerous strain, which we were fearing... But the final report has concluded that it is H1N8 virus,” Rai said. “We talked to medical experts and they said that while H5N1 has been found to infect humans, no such reports have come regarding H1N8. So people of Delhi need not panic,” the minister added. Rai’s remarks came after he held a meeting with experts from Bhopal and Bareily central labs.
New Delhi, Oct 21 (PTI): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today paid homage to the police personnel who laid down their lives in the line of duty as the nation marked the National Police Commemoration Day.

Losing track
othing that happens in the government of Nagaland should surprise anyone especially with regard to how several hundred crore rupees are being spent on health each year but most tragically, patients get literally too little or almost nothing in many instances. According to official sources, the health service delivery is heavily dependent on central schemes and projects like National Health Mission(NHM) and its flagship programs, and National AIDS Control Program. Any cut in the allocations affects the services unless the state makes up the shortfall. Newspaper reports with photographs proved that health care system in the far flung rural areas exist only in name in dilapidated buildings. There are also many areas where no doctors are available either because of absenteeism or because the department may have forgotten that these places exist. It may not be a surprise to people in Nagaland but certainly a source of embarrassment for the health and family welfare department, when, a year back, a visiting team of doctors of the Rotary Club of Mumbai North, expressed disappointment at the “poor health infrastructure” in Nagaland. The visiting doctors found that basic facilities were lacking and even an ordinary item like bandage was also not available. This newspaper has been highlighting the condition of the state’s health system on several occasions. It is also undeniable that due to the pathetic condition of the district hospitals, where equipments are not available and many doctors are unable to perform their duties. There has been several scams in the department during the past decade at the political and bureaucratic levels. Complaints of manipulation on posting, absenteeism or the issue of abuse of Non Practising Allowance(NPA) are also not rare . Many doctors themselves are certainly unhappy with the state of affairs and some have even complained or written about how the department had wilfully neglected the health care system. Sometime back, one doctor had said that, the state has one of the worst performing health service system as shown by service indicators such as –anti natal care coverage, full immunisation coverage, hospital births etc. It was reported that some hospitals in some districts do not even have a single functional X-ray machine, while ultra sophisticated equipments worth several crore rupees are lying unused for many years in some hospitals either because they were not installed or because no qualified and experienced technician have been posted. Much of the purchases are supply-oriented with the sole aim of making a lot of money in the name of public health care. Due to such problems, doctors have to send patients to private clinics. Doctors posted in rural areas are unable to treat patients because basic equipments are not available since the job is more than hanging a stethoscope around their necks. One need only to read in the media on how the department, spends a large slice of the budget for salaries and other wages etc. Bifurcation sprees in the past have only caused huge dents in the budget and a small state like Nagaland can ill afford. Instead of trying to streamline the mess and reduce salaries that are going out of control, it appears, the department is pushing for bifurcating the bifurcated department into a directorate of dental health. The proposal needs to be seriously deliberated since serving the poor and needy does not require creation of a department.

All Have Sinned
So it is that we are saved by faith in Christ and not by the good things we do. ~ Romans 3:28 Many people still cling to the notion that man is naturally good. We did not get this from the Greeks. Aristotle said, “There is no good in mankind.” We did not get it from Judaism. Jeremiah said, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). We did not get it from Christian teachings. The Apostle Paul said, “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We got this illusion, I believe, from the philosophers and psychologists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who taught the false doctrine that man is a helpless victim of his environment. The Bible says that man is not naturally good. All human experience confirms it. Man is rebellious by nature. This first rebellion in history happened in the Garden of Eden, where the environment was perfect and there was no heredity on which to blame it!

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Saturday, October 22, 2016
Post-mortem Facts and hearsay on Rongmei issue How to repair moral capital H T he Rongmei case in Nagaland is quite simple to decide. The Rongmei is not an INDIGENOUS TRIBE OF NAGALAND, nothing more nothing less. Anyone can find the meaning of “Indigenous” in the Oxford Dictionary which says: ‘INDIGENOUS’ means to belong Naturally to a Place”. The Rongmei is not Native of Nagaland, they do not naturally belong to Nagaland. They have no traditional Tribe or Villange Territory Land in Nagaland. Plant, Animal or People of a Place naturally are known as INDIGENOUS; others not Native or not naturally belonging to the Place are known as INTRODUCED. People of Indian origin in Fiji are the majority in the Island but they are not Indigenous, they are Migrants or ‘INTRODUCED’ to the Island. Many beautiful Flowers in Nagaland are Introduced and not Indigenous to Nagaland. The Forest Department of Nagaland once engaged some native Botanists to make a Book on Orchids of Nagaland but when the Book was printed, the Department was sorry to find quite a few of the Orchids were found to be Introduced Garden Species not Indigenous to Nagaland. The Department paid the Researchers but did not Thank them!? Christianity is not Indigenous to Nagaland, it is an Introduced Religion in Nagaland. Christianity can not be declared an Indigenous Religion by Cabinet neither do the SUPREME COURT makes Law. Christian Principles like: ‘if someone strikes you on one Cheek, turn the other; if someone takes your cloth by force, give him your Coat also etc, are heavenly principle but the Government do not make them into the Law of the Land. On the question of Indigenous Tribe, even the White Americans are not INDIGENOUS of North America; it is only the native Red Indians like the Apaches, the Comanches, the Inuis etc are Indigenous. A Naga can settle get DOMICILED in Australia but he can not become an Idigenous of Australia. To be Indigenous to a place, must involve Nature and natural Process, he or she must be Native to the Place. Naga Tribes of ‘Naga Hills and Tuensang-Mon’ Area (now Nagaland), some Kacharis of Dimapur Area including some Mikirs (Karbis) are Indigenous to the Area and some Kukis settled in the Naga Hills well prior to World War I, are INDIGENOUS Tribe to Nagaland. And rightly or wrongly the Garos of Dimapur and Nepalis of Kohima Area have become recognized as Indegenous Inhabitants of Nagaland. Keeping the previledges already given them intact, they may be Re-designated as DOMICILED of Nagaland. The 3 Tribes of Nagaland, though not Naga by Race, were there by a Process of Migration or joust of Power accepted as a Way of settling in a Place in bygone primitive days prior to the British colonization of the Region, are Indigenous Tribe to the Place. Simply, inclussion in the Electoral Roll of a City or a Village cannot make a person INDIGENOUS NAGA TRIBE of NAGALAND. Rongmei is Naga
Tribe and some must have settled in Naga Hills for quite some time and have become Domicile in Kohima, Dimapur or in Peren. But they are not Indigenous to Nagaland. They were Introduced to Nagaland for Employment or on political considerations and get the privileges the Government may grant. But the Government can not declare them INDIGENOUS NAGA TRIBE of Nagaland because they ARE NOT. The “DOMICILED” of Nagaland are like Adopted-Child in a Naga Family but do not normally inherit the Adoptive Naga Father’s inheritances equally the same with his (adoptive Father’s) biological children unless the adoptive Father specifically expresses so. * Nagaland State on 28 April 1977 first attempt, to designate a DOMICILED Citizen of Nagaland “for the Purpose of employment” and grant of other political privileges in the State, by Notification No.AR-8/8/76 dt 28 April 1977 by Joint Secretary (A. Shanmugam) Department of Administrative Reforms, GoN requiring the Non-Nagaland Person: I. must be in the Electoral Roll of 5-12-1963. II. must have Paid House Tax prior to 1-12-1963. III. must have Land acquired Patta prior to 1-12-1963. The Government’s basis for the Rongmei Recognition depended most importantly on the Item I of the 28 April 1977 Notification but no RONGMEI WAS NOT FOUND IN THE ELECTORAL ROLL OF 1963. ** Again, on 12 March 2013, the Joint Chief Electoral Officer, (N.MOA AIER) of Nagaland, under the compulsion of RTI (Right to Information) Law provided the Applicant Kiesamyi of Jaluke Town, with the official Letter No. Elec/2/2013/1758 dt 12 March 2013, it provided : I. copy of Electoral Roll 1963 and stated, II. “the name of Rongmei not found/not available in the Electoral Roll under Kohima District since 1963.” *** Again the Asstt Election Officer & Pubblic Information Officer, Peren Nagaland (Olivi Thurr) supplied (No. ELE/RTI/2010-13/639 dt Peren10 Jan/2013): I. “entire set of 1963 E/Roll of Peren District” and wrote II. “ Particulars members of Rongmie Community could not be traced out from 1963’s E/roll by this office”. **** Further the DC Peren (N Mesen) in his letter NO. JUDL-5/o6-07 (Pt II)dt 15 Oct/08) stated: I. the Rongmei Community claimed their forefathers migrated to Peren from Dimapur District numbering 157. II. There is no Copy of Electoral of 1963 and other official records to ascertain the Claim. The Home Department could provide every required informations relavant to the subject but the Cabinet in its own wisdom, on 8/Sept/2007 constituted an advisory Committee on the Issue of of Rongmei demand for ‘Indigenous SubNaga Tribe of Nagaland.’ The Cabinet did not appear to have
Tomorrow is the devil’s day
O
ur life hangs on God’s timetable. No mortal being knows when eternity will break in. There lies an eternal abyss within each soul and only God is big enough to fill that void. Endless pursuit of worldliness, carnality and material gains has blinded humans from seeking the transcendent glorious satisfaction in God. The inner depth of the soul cries for freedom from the corruption of human flesh yet the carnal mind indulges on and the still small voice is flushed out. The craving of human carnality defies the appetites of spirituality. The struggle to please God and the sinful nature rages on. Many have been noosed and tied as the worldly spirits entices them until they’re pierced with the arrow of death. “Come, my darling, and I will give you all that you want,”calls aloud the sin-loaded harlot. The seductive voice and appearance makes men stumble and tremble at her. The ramifications of the enchantment of worldly desires are deadly and bitter as gall. Humans have yet to learn from past failures. O, our soul longs to be free! Free from the shackles of this world. Why is this struggle between flesh and spirit so relentless? The road to sanctification and holiness is the inner cry of the heart. “Be holy because I am holy,” says theLord (1 Peter 1:16). The call to live a life of purity strikes a chord with many Christians and the need is imperative. But we push it out of our mind. The spirit yearns for prayer, communion and Bible meditation but the flesh says “Tomorrow.” We think about prayer and the night haunts us for deeper intimacy with the Divine. But procrastination gains the control. Repent tomorrow but not today. There is still plenty of time to make rectifications. No! This could hardly be recognized as the voice of our enemy. “Tomorrow is the devil’s day,” states J.C. Ryle. “But today is
God’s. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow,” unquote. The belief of God as love and grace should not blind us from the inescapable character of God’s holiness and justice. As plain as it sound, “Without holiness no one will see the Lord,” says Hebrews. Christian life is much more than being justified before God; it is being sanctified and purified before the maker of Heaven and earth. It is not just being saved from the penalty but from the power of sin. It is dangerous for Christians to be indulging in worldly affairs having the faulty assurance that forgiveness is still in balance. What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? God forbid! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?Do not take the grace of God in vain. His fury will be unleashed on those who have trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them. We see so little of God because we seek him so little. We feel less of God’s power in our lives because we experience of Him too less. In focusing our attention to the upward heavenly direction, the things of this world will grow strangely dim. The goal of Christianity is to know more and more of Him. It is to search for living water and find satisfaction in the fountain of life. Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory (Col. 3:1-4). Amen.

given any clear Term of Reference or Time Limit to the advisory Committee and the later took 5 years (2007 - 2012) to submit its Report. The Committee did not appear to have gone deep into the question of ‘INDIGENOUS TRIBE OF NAGALAND’ and appear to have recommended: “the status of Indigenous Rongmei Naga of the state of Nagaland. Such a status, while “entitling them to avail all the benefits of reservation to pursue employment and education, will not make them an indegenous Naga tribe of the State” This Bureaucratic Committee Recommendation appear to be less than professional in competance; it appears sloppy and inaccurate, because: i. The Government Notification (NO.AR-8/8/76 dt 28 April 1977) is very clear -Rongmei name not recorded in E/ Roll of 1963 is not entitled ‘Indegenous Naga Tribe of Nagaland. ii. Only those Rongmei name found in the E/Roll of 1963 and their descendants are to be recorded but the Committee Enumerated all Rongmei population of three Districts -Kohima, Dimapur and Peren- and reported a population number of 1313 after correction of discripencies detected though no Rongmei name was found in E/Roll of 1963. iii. The Committee, Recomending the Rongmei an ‘Indigenous Naga Tribe of Nagaland’ for employment and education privileges but not allowing them Indigenous Naga Tribe of Nagaland Status’ is a paradoxical proposition. iv. Recommending against a universal social Norm for “political decision” is less than a competant professional advice. Such conflicting and puzzling Recomendation could have miss-led if not confused the casual uncaring political decision makers of Nagaland! In addition, several NGOs and the NSCN (IM) very intreguingly and significantly supported the resourceful and powerful State Government on the Issue. This is very unfortunately odd. There are many things to wail about for Nagaland today but perhaps the Rongmei Issue in Nagaland is one of the most damaging that will affect the future of Nagas of Nagaland, the only beacon of light is in those who fight for the Right of future Nagaland generations, withous expectiong any Praise or Favour. In this beacon of light includes the Court. The High Court Guwahati (W.P.C No4519/12 of 22.11.2012) has in its Judgement Order said: THE STATE OF NAGALAND SHALL FOLLOW THE NOTIFICATION DATED 28.4.1977 IN RESPECT OF CERTIFICATE PERTAINING TO “INDIGENOUS INHABITANTS” IN THE STATE OF NAGALAND. This has effectively prevented the Government operation of Rongmei as the ‘Indigenous Naga Tribe of Nagaland’. The Government of Nagaland would do best to withdraw the recognition of RONGMEI AS THE INDIGENOUS NAGA TRIBE OF NAGALAND. Thepfulhouvi Solo. IFS Ret (RR-68), Retd Principal Secretary, Nagaland
illary Clinton, who has been in politics all her adult life, seems to have learned something from Michelle Obama, who has never run for public office. Clinton gave three masterful answers in the debate Wednesday night that were tonally different from her normal clichés. They were about Donald Trump’s alleged assaults on women, his refusal to respect the democratic process and the contrast between his years of “Celebrity Apprentice” experience and her own governing experience. Clinton’s answers were given in a slow and understated manner, but they were marked by moral passion, clarity and quiet contempt. They were not spoken from the point of view of a politician. They were spoken from the point of view of a parent, which is the point of view Michelle Obama frequently uses. The politician asks: What can I offer to win votes? The parent asks: What world are my children going out into when they leave the house? The politician is focused on individual interest, but the parent is interested in the shared social, economic and moral environment. That turns out to be a useful frame for this ugly year. It’s becoming ever clearer that the nation’s moral capital is being decimated, and the urgent challenge is to name that decimation and reverse it. Moral capital is the set of shared habits, norms, institutions and values that make common life possible. Left to our own, we human beings have an impressive capacity for selfishness. Unadorned, the struggle for power has a tendency to become barbaric. So people in decent societies agree on a million informal restraints — codes of politeness, humility and mutual respect that girdle selfishness and steer us toward reconciliation. This year Trump is dismantling those restraints one by one. By savagely attacking Carly Fiorina’s looks and Ted Cruz’s wife he dismantled the codes of etiquette that prevent politics from becoming an unmodulated screaming match. By lying more or less all the time, he dismantles the fealty to truth without which conversation is impossible. By refusing to automatically respect the election results he corrodes confidence in our common institutions and risks turning public life into a neverending dogfight. Clinton has contributed to the degradation too. As the James O’Keefe videos remind us, wherever Hillary Clinton has gone in her career, a cloud of unsavory people and unsavory behavior has traveled alongside. But she is right to emphasize that Trump is the greatest threat to moral capital in recent history and that the health of that capital is more fundamental than
any particular policy position. The sad fact is that in the realm of common life, gnats can undo the work of giants. “Moral communities are fragile things, hard to build and easy to destroy,” Jonathan Haidt writes in his book “The Righteous Mind.” “When we think about very large communities such as nations, the challenge is extraordinary and the threat of moral entropy is intense.” We are now in a country in which major presidential candidates can gibe about the menstrual cycles of their interviewers and the penis size of their opponents. We are now in a society in which the childish desires of a reality-TV narcissist can insult the inheritance that Washington and Hamilton risked their lives to bequeath. We are now in a society in which serial insults to basic decency aren’t automatically disqualifying. Clearly, we have a giant task of moral repair ahead of us. That starts with a renunciation of the Trump style. One big lesson of 2016 is that that can only happen if people police members of their own party. If somebody is destroying the basic social and moral fabric through brutalistic rhetoric and vicious misogynistic behavior, it doesn’t really matter that he agrees with you on taxes and the Supreme Court; he has to be renounced or else he will drag the whole society to a level of degradation that will make all decent politics impossible. It also means addressing the substantive social chasms that fueled Trump’s rise. We are clearly going to have a lot of angry populists around in the years ahead, of right and left. It should be possible to oppose them with a political movement that champions dynamism with cohesion, globalism with solidarity — a movement that supports free trade, open skilled immigration, ethnic diversity and a free American-led world order, but also local community building, state-fostered economic security, moral cohesion and patriotic purpose. In other words, it should be possible to be conservative on macroeconomics, liberal on immigration policy, traditionalist on moral and civic matters, Swedish on welfare state policies, and Reaganesque on America’s role in the world. The election of 2016 has exposed the staleness of the Republican and Democratic ideologies. It has also established a nihilistic, reality TV standard of conduct that will pull down the country if it is allowed to survive. The one nice thing about Trump is that he has prompted so many people to find their voice, and to turn from their revulsion to a higher alternative. David Brooks
What about the planet?
ur two major political parties are at odds on many issues, but nowhere is the gap bigger or more consequential than on climate. If Hillary Clinton wins, she will move forward with the Obama administration’s combination of domestic clean-energy policies and international negotiation — a one-two punch that offers some hope of reining in greenhouse gas emissions before climate change turns into climate catastrophe. If Donald Trump wins, the paranoid style in climate politics — the belief that global warming is a hoax perpetrated by a vast international conspiracy of scientists — will become official doctrine, and catastrophe will become all but inevitable. So why does the media seem so determined to ignore this issue? Why, in particular, does it almost seem as if there’s a rule against bringing it up in debates? Before I get there, a brief summary of the policy divide. It’s strange how little credit the Obama administration gets for its environmental policies. Everyone has heard about how loan guarantees to one solar-energy company, Solyndra, went sour — at a cost, by the way, that amounted to only a bit more than half the amount Mr. Trump personally lost in just one year thanks to bad business decisions. Few people, by contrast, have heard about the green energy revolution that the administration’s loans and other policy support helped promote, with plunging prices and soaringconsumption of solar and wind power. Nor have many heard about the administration’s tightening of fuel efficiency standards, especially for trucks and buses, which in itself is one of the most significant environmental moves in decades. And if Mrs. Clinton wins,
it’s more or less certain that the biggest moves yet — the Clean Power Plan, which would regulate emissions from power plants, and the Paris climate agreement, which commits all of the world’s major economies to make significant emission cuts — will become reality. Meanwhile, there’s Mr. Trump, who has repeatedly called climate change a hoax and has suggested that it was invented by China to hurt U.S. competitiveness. I wish I could say that this puts him outside the mainstream of his party, but it doesn’t. So there is a huge, incredibly consequential divide on climate policy. Not only is there a vast gap between the parties and their candidates, but this gap arguably matters more for the future than any of their other disagreements. So why don’t we hear more about it? I’m not saying that there has been no reporting on the partisan climate divide, but there has been nothing like, say, the drumbeat of stories about Mrs. Clinton’s email server. And it’s really stunning that in the three nationally televised forums we’ve had so far — the “commander in chief ” forum involving Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump, the first presidential debateand the vice-presidential debate — the moderators have asked not a single question about climate. This was especially striking in Tuesday’s debate. Somehow Elaine Quijano, the moderator, found time for not one but two questions inspired by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget — an organization concerned that despite relatively low budget deficits now and extremely low borrowing costs, the federal government may face fiscal problems a couple of decades down the line. There may be something to this, although not as much as deficit scolds claim (and Ms. Quijano managed to suggest that Mrs. Clinton’s proposals, which are fully paid
for, are no better than Mr. Trump’s multitrillion-dollar debt blowout). But if we’re worried about the longer-term implications of current policies, the buildup of greenhouse gases is a much bigger deal than the accumulation of low-interest debt. It’s bizarre to talk about the latter but not the former. And this blind spot matters a lot. Polling suggests that millennial voters, in particular, care a lot about environmental protection and renewable energy. But it also suggests that more than 40 percent of young voters believe that there is no difference between the candidates on these issues. Yes, I know, people should be paying more attention — but this nonetheless tells us how
easy it is for voters who rely on TV news or don’t read stories deep inside the paper to miss what should be a central issue in this campaign. The good news is that there are still two debates to go, offering the opportunity to make some amends. It’s time to end the blackout on climate change as an issue. It needs to be front and center — and questions must be accompanied by real-time fact-checking, not relegated to the limbo of he-said-she-said, because this is one of the issues where the truth often gets lost in a blizzard of lies. There is, quite simply, no other issue this important, and letting it slide would be almost criminally irresponsible. Paul Krugman

An appeal to teachers’ teaching below class X
Respected sir, Being a responsible citizen of Nagaland, I would like to draw your kind attention towards my letter for a while. Maybe you are doing this or not but in general I have come across many teachers giving homework or assignments to a student which is very difficult for even a graduate person to solve the problem (referring to a slow learner person like me). The most important thing is let the student below 10 standard solve it through internet at home which lead to a poor student fighting with their parents for not having or buying a Smart phone, laptops and desktop, not only that but many student started using internet for finding an assignments notes lead to corrupt student career by started using Facebook, whatsapp etc. For 10 standard above is ok in other words but letting a 13-14 years students use internet for finding notes is very harmful because they don’t know what is good and bad in a sense. Yes I know it’s a digital and modern world but I wonder why a teacher of such a teenage student giving homework in Internet. You teachers are matured now and know all about internet but do you allow your son, daughter, sister etc below 13-14 use it? Please try to understand my point of writing and give homework/assignments according to the student brain standard. Thank you Tokhevi. Jakhalu, Zunheboto

Making it known to Ibobi of the Centre’s repeated reminder that all stake-holders would be consulted before working out the final agreement while solving the Naga political issue, CMO said he (Ibobi) should not assume that Nagaland chief minister would dictate the terms of the final agreement. “It would be through mutual understanding to ensure lasting peace and harmony in the region.” It added. Moreover, CMO said Zeliang was of the firm belief that good, neighbourly and cordial relations should, by all means, be maintained between different communities and States in the region for mutual growth and benefit.

We (NHRC) also want to have more power,” he told reporters. The former Chief Justice of India was addressing a press conference in Delhi to mark the Foundation Day of the NHRC. According to a recent media report, Justice Dattu had termed NHRC a “toothless tiger” that needed some teeth to enforce its orders on remedial measures in cases relating to any violations. “In many cases, due to our active intervention, we have addressed human rights issues.

When asked what action the NHRC takes in case a party to which a notice has been served by it does not respond within the stipulated time, he said, “In case they don’t, we give them one more opportunity, and even then if they don’t respond, then we issue them a conditional summon to appear before us and submit the report.” “In 95-96 per cent cases the state government or authorities do respond. But, there have been instances, where despite repeated reminders they don’t respond and in those cases, we presume they have nothing to say in the matter.

New Delhi, Oct 21 (PTI): A delegation of opposition parties in Tamil Nadu Friday met President Pranab Mukherjee and sought his intervention in the setting up of Cauvery Management Board, a demand Karnataka is opposed to. The leaders belonging to these parties later lashed out at the “defiant” attitude of Karnataka in complying with the apex court orders over release of waters from Cauvery and alleged they are making the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu into a “begging bowl”.
New Delhi, Oct 21 (Agencies): The Supreme Court on Friday pulled up Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government over tonnes of garbage lying on Delhi streets. According to ANI, the apex court expressed displeasure over the way the garbage had been piled up in various places across the national capital and asked the AAP government to clear the filth at the earliest. “45 metres of height of garbage in places are alarming,” the division bench, headed by Justice Madan Lokur said. The apex court also raised concerns that garbage piled up on streets can led to serious health hazards, including the outbreak of diseases like bird flu. “What are your plans to clear garbage. You have to plan for the future. You don’t have to react to a situation,” it said. The highest court also directed the Delhi government to convene a meeting of all stakeholders including the MCDs on the issue of garbage disposal. The apex court passed the order while hearing a case pertaining to the suicide of parents after their child died due to vector-borne diseases. The apex court, however, said that matters related to dengue outbreak will be heard on November 11. The strong observations made by the apex court is important in the wake of bitter war of words between the Delhi government and the centre over MCD workers’ strike that has aggravated the garbage pile up in the city-state.

The PWF leaders criticised Karnataka also over its plans of constructing two dams on the river, expressing apprehensions that it will result in a drought-like situation in 16 districts of Tamil Nadu including its capital Chennai. “We requested the President to consider our concerns regarding these issues to which he assured to take necessary steps.” Vaiko said. When asked about the Front’s silence over the issue for the past two years even after the publication of award in the Central government Gazette, Vaiko said the Front had not taken up the issue in the way it has now as the previous UPA government had not ruled out the formation of the Board. “But now, it’s the Modi government which is saying that it won’t constitute the Board. They are denying us justice, therefore prompting us to raise the issue now,” Vaiko added. Besides Raja and Vaiko, the delegation comprised state leaders of various other political parties including CPI(M) state secretary G Ramakrishnan, CPI state secretary R Mutharasan, VCK president Thol. Thirumavalavan and its secretary D Ravikumar, along with CPI leader T K Rangarajan.

Kolkata, Oct 21 (PTI): The country’s largest commercial lender, State Bank of India (SBI), has advised its customers to use the bank’s own ATM network after the security breach of around six lakh debit cards issued by the bank, an official said. “We are advising our customers to use SBI’s ATM network as a pro-active measure. At the same time, the bank is aiming to replace around six lakh debit cards within two weeks,” Partha Pratim Sengupta, CGM of SBI Bengal circle, told reporters here last night. Meanwhile, the bank had blocked the debit cards whose security had been reportedly breached due to the malware attack. As for the Bengal circle, the bank is aiming at disbursing Rs 1,000 crore towards retail credit during the festive season. “Last year, retail lending during the festive season was Rs 700 crore,” he said.

well-executed, well-engineered ecosystem. It is a Rs 2,50,000 crore investment,” Ambani had said in a media interaction last week. Fitch said the intense competition will weaken the credit profiles, and coupled with the high capital expenditure requirements, gave it a negative outlook. The industry’s revenue growth could slow down to mid single-digit from 7-8 per cent in 2016 on lower data revenue growth, where it expects tariffs to fall by up to 20 per cent. The pre-tax profit margins of the top four telcos, which stood at 34 per cent in 2016, will be hit by up to 2 percentage points, it said, attributing it to lower tariffs and increased marketing spend as data competition rises. The free cash flows will be negative as cash generation is likely to fall short of capex requirements, the report said. It said Rcom’s plan to demerge its wireless business is credit neutral - as the demerger will take away an equal proportion of debt and pretax profit from the company. On its stable outlook for the Anil Ambani-led company, the company said it is based on the expectation that Rcom will use the proceeds from the sale of tower assets to improve leverage.

Mumbai, Oct 21 (PTI): India’s foreign exchange reserves declined by USD 1.506 billion to USD 366.139 billion in the week to October 14, due to fall in foreign currency assets, the Reserve Bank said today. In the previous week, the reserves had decreased by USD 4.343 billion to USD 367.646 billion. It had touched a life-time high of USD 371.99 billion in the week to September 30, 2016. Foreign currency assets (FCAs), a major component of the overall reserves, dipped by USD 1.486 billion to USD 340.908 billion. FCAs, expressed in US dollar terms, include the effect of appreciation/depreciation of nonUS currencies such as the euro, pound and the yen held in the reserves. Gold reserves remained steady at USD 21.406 billion, the apex bank said. The special drawing rights with the International Monetary Fund declined by USD 8 million to USD 1.468 billion, while India’s reserve position with the Fund dipped by USD 12.8 million to USD 2.356 billion, RBI said.
Mumbai, Oct 21 (PTI): Global rating agency Fitch does not see Reliance Jio, the new entrant in the highly competitive telecom space, gaining even 2 per cent of revenue market share in 2017 but will disrupt the industry with its aggressive pricing strategies. “We expect Reliance Jio to gain less than a 2 per cent revenue market share in 2017, but to act a major price-disruptor,” it said in a note today. The top four existing telcos will consolidate their revenue market share by eating into the revenues of the smaller players, it said. The agency expects Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India, Idea Cellular and Rcom/ Aircel’s market share to go up to 84 per cent from 79 per cent in 2016. It can be noted that the Mukesh Ambani-led company has invested Rs 1.5 trillion for the service so far, and has earmarked another Rs 1 trillion capex by 2020, which has been launched with many firsts like free lifetime voice telephony and cheaper data prices. It is offering its services for free till end of the year. Earlier this week, Ambani had asserted that Jio is a well thought-out venture and not a “punt”. “First and foremost, it is no punt.

Mumbai, Oct 21 (PTI): GMR Group-run Delhi International Airport Ltd has raised USD 522.6 million by selling 10-year bonds in the international market at a coupon of 6.125 per cent. The company said the proceeds from the notes will be used to entirely refinance the current outstanding rupee loans and external commercial borrowings. “The deal completely refinances entire bank term loans in DIAL and brings a long dated termed out structure ideal for infrastructure projects,” Sidharath Kapur, president of GMR Airports said. The issue is as per RBI regulations on automatic route for ECBs and the amount raised is capped by the outstanding amount of the rupee term loans and the ECB, the company said, but did not offer a break-up of the two. Srinivas Bommidala of the GMR Group said this transaction reinforces the group’s capabilities to raise funds from international investors. Without quantifying the oversubscription, he said the issue was oversubscribed multiple times despite volatile market conditions. Kapur said the company got a good pricing as the final pricing was fixed at 6.125 per cent against an initial pricing of 6.50 per cent, reflecting the strength of the book and saw investment interest coming from high quality investors in Asia, Europe and the US.

Mumbai, Oct 21 (PTI): Falling for the second-straight session, the rupee today depreciated by 8 paise to end at 66.89 against the US dollar due to increased demand for the American currency from importers and state-owned banks. A rise in the dollar on Friday to touch a seven-month high against a basket of currencies driven by buoyant expectations of a US interest rate hike this year mainly weighed on the forex trade. Lacklustre domestic equities alongside ongoing FCNR redemptions further added pressure on the local currency, a forex dealer said. Though, the trading largely remained range-bound in the absence of any market-moving factors, ahead of the weekend.

tepid growth in nominal variables and RBI continuing to maintain high surplus liquidity in the interbank market against the stated strategy for neutral liquidity,” it said. The note said after financing of the current account deficit (CAD), it expects the capital inflows to add nearly USD 17.4 billion (Rs 1.18 trillion) to the forex reserve in the 2016-17. These accretions take into account the FCNR (B) redemptions. According to the latest BoP data available, USD 7 billion had been added to the forex reserves till August 2016. It said growth rate in CIC for the current year is likely to be restricted by multiple factors, such as drive against declaration of unaccounted wealth which could bring back large amount of cash into the system.

Towards VGF, the civil aviation ministry will create a Regional Connectivity Fund (RCF), which will be funded by a “levy or fee per departure on all domestic flights other than the ones on Category II / Category IIA routes under Route Dispersal Guidelines (RDG), RCS routes and flights using small aircraft below 80 passenger seats”. Apart from VGF, the select airlines participating in the scheme will be extended various concessions, including two per cent excise duty on jet fuel drawn at RCS airports as well as lower VAT on the fuel. According to the ministry, state governments are encouraged to also consider “extending any additional incentives like underwriting of passenger seats to encourage operators / additionally support select airline operators in undertaking operations under the scheme”.
Mumbai, Oct 21 (PTI): With an objective of keeping liquidity at neutral level, Reserve Bank is likely to infuse Rs 55,000 crore through open market operations (OMO) in the second half of this financial year, says a report. “We expect that another Rs 55,000 crore of durable liquidity needs to be infused through OMO purchases in second half of 2016-17. Our base case scenario is built on RBI’s stated objective of neutral liquidity, which ensures minimal shortages as well as minimal surpluses,” India Ratings and Research said in a note. It said since Rs 1.05 trillion liquidity has been infused by RBI in the first half of this fiscal, necessity of similar amount of OMO in second half will only be limited to certain conditions. “It would be contingent upon subdued net forex flows, or lower than estimated USD 17.4 billion balance of payment surplus, sharp rise in currency in circulation (CIC) against

against the backdrop of some airlines being unhappy with the proposal to charge a levy for funding the scheme. The draft scheme was unveiled in July. Civil Aviation Secretary R N Choubey said the rules related to the levy will be “printed in the gazette in two days” while the executive order in this regard will be ready by month-end. The levy will be “very small”, he added. Charging a levy on profitable routes is likely to push the air fare for fliers. “This is first of its kind globally... We are doing something not done anywhere else,” Minister of State Jayant Sinha said. The fares will be capped at Rs. 2,500 for one-hour flights on unserved and under-served routes. Airlines operating under the scheme will be provided viability gap funding (VGF), which will be shared by the Centre and the states concerned, for a limited period.
New Delhi, Oct 21 (PTI): Air passengers on major routes will soon have to shell out more for flights to fund the regional connectivity scheme under which fares will be capped at Rs. 2,500 for one-hour flights. The government expects the first flight under this scheme to take off in January. A “first of its kind” in the world, UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Naagrik) will be based on market mechanism as well as bidding for a minimum of 9 seats and a maximum of 40 seats in a fixed wing aircraft. For 50 per cent of the seats of flights under UDAN, the fare cap will be Rs. 2,500, and the rest will be market-based pricing. “We are cautiously optimistic about it (UDAN),” Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said today, adding that the first flight under the scheme is expected to take off in January 2017.

Trump, Clinton trade barbs as roast turns bitter
N E W YO R K , O C T 2 1 (AGENCIES): The annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, a whitetie gala in New York that is often the last time the two presidential nominees share a stage before Election Day, is traditionally a time when campaign hostilities are set aside. Not this year. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton traded sharp barbs and brutal takedowns Thursday, the night after their final debate, with many in the well-heeled crowd turning on the Republican nominee midway through his remarks and showering him with jeers. Trump, who had drawn big laughs earlier in the speech, appeared to lose the room as he repeatedly dug in with caustic swipes at Clinton, drawing rare boos at a charity event meant to raise money for impoverished children throughout New York. He appeared to straddle the line when he talked about how “listening to Hillary rattle on and rattle on” has made him better appreciate his longtime nemesis Rosie O’Donnell. But he then seemed to cross it when he referred to her as “corrupt” during a lengthy riff on the FBI’s investigation into her use of a private email server as secretary of state. New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan called his seat “the iciest place on the planet.” “Hillary is so corrupt she got kicked off the Watergate Commission. How corrupt do you have to be to get kicked off the Watergate Commis-
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, right, shakes hands with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner, Thursday. (AP/PTI) sion? Pretty corrupt,” he said to loud boos and at least one call demanding he get off the stage. He then almost appeared to segue into the standard attack lines of his rally speeches, setting aside jokes to bring up material contained in hacked Clinton campaign emails. “Hillary believes that it’s vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and a totally different policy in private,” he said to growing jeers. “Here she is tonight, in public, pretending not to hate Catholics.” Clinton also veered into personal digs, making one joke in which she said the Statue of Liberty, for most Americans,
represents a symbol of hope for immigrants. “Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a ‘4,’” Clinton joked. “Maybe a ‘5’ if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair.” Trump and Clinton sat one seat apart for the evening, with New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan acting as the only buffer. And when they entered and took their seats, they did not greet each other or make eye contact, though they did shake hands at the conclusion of the roast. Dolan later called his seat “the iciest place on the planet.” M o s t e ye s we r e o n Trump, who infamously glow-
ered through President Barack Obama’s jokes at his expense during the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner and is not known for being selfdeprecating. Some of his jokes landed well, drawing laughs from both the crowd and Clinton. His biggest laughs came as he talked about Michelle Obama getting rave reviews for a recent speech. “They think she’s absolutely great. My wife Melania gives the exact same speech, and people get on her case,” he said to whoops and laughs. And some of his attack lines flashed a sense of humor that has been mostly absent from the grueling campaign.
6.2 earthquake hits western Japan: USGS
A part of the fallen ceiling covers the floor of the Kurayoshi Mirai Chushin multipurpose event hall following an earthquake in Kurayoshi, Tottori prefecture, western Japan, Friday. (AP/PTI) TOKYO, OCT 21 (AFP): A strong 6.2 magnitude earthquake hit western Japan today, the US Geological Survey said, but there was no tsunami risk. The quake, at a shallow depth of 10 kilometres, struck shortly after 2:00 pm (0500
GMT) in Tottori prefecture. Initially, the USGS had pegged the quake’s magnitude at 6.6 before downgrading it. Public broadcaster NHK quoted local officials as saying they had received reports that a house collapsed in the
town of Yurihama, while fires broke out in another part of the prefecture, without giving details. In Kurayoshi City, the fire department reported receiving seven emergency calls for injuries.
Te l e v i s i o n i m a g e s showed severe shaking in the region. “We felt fairly strong jolts, which I think were the biggest in years, but we have not seen any damage or things falling,” Suminori Sakinada, a local government official, told AFP. Bullet train services were suspended in the area, while nearly 40,000 homes were left without electricity as the quake damaged power lines, officials said. NHK said switched-off nuclear reactors in the region were not affected. Japan sits at the junction of four tectonic plates and experiences a number of relatively violent quakes every year, but rigid building codes and their strict enforcement mean even strong tremors often do little damage. A massive undersea quake however that hit in March 2011 sent a tsunami barrelling into Japan’s northeast coast, leaving more than 18,000 people dead or missing, and sending three reactors into meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant.

weekend and would try to get some answers. “We are going to be seeking an explanation of exactly what the president meant when he talked about separation from the US,” BBC quoted Kirby as saying. China has virtually embraced Duterte, who decided to visit Beijing after his bitter spat with US over his controversial violent war on drug smugglers.

Salahuddin seeks Pak military help over Kahshmir ISLAMABAD, OCT 21 (PTI): Hizbul Mujahideen head Syed Salahuddin has sought Pakistan military’s help over Kashmir issue and mocked India’s claims of “surgical strikes” in PoK. “The festering (Kashmir) issue is not going to resolve through talks or resolutions… Pakistan should militarily support Kashmiris by providing resources to the mujahideen,” Dawn newspaper quoted Salahuddin as saying. Salahuddin, who is also chairman of and United Jihad Council (UJC), also promised to change the map of the region. “If the mujahideen get military support, not only Kashmir will clinch freedom but the map of the subcontinent will also undergo a change,” he said. Without elaborating the details of military support he asked for, Salahuddin said Indian military power cannot be defeated through diplomacy. Mocking India’s “surgical strikes” claims, he said Indian troops did not have the courage or capability to cross the Line of Control (LoC) to conduct any such operation.
LONDON, OCT 21 (PTI): British Prime Minister Theresa May today called for “give and take” in negotiations with the European Union (EU) on the UK’s exit from the 28nation economic bloc. During her first EU summit since she became PM following the Brexit vote and on her 100th day in office, May held meetings with her EU colleagues including European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. “I recognise the scale of the challenge ahead, I am sure there will be difficult moments, it [Brexit] will require some give and take,” she told reporters. “But I firmly believe that if we approach this in a constructive spirit, as I am, then we can deliver a smooth departure and build a powerful new relationship that works both for the UK and for the countries of the EU, looking for opportunities, not problems,” she said. May said she aimed to “cement Britain as a close partner of the EU once we have left”, with the country able to control its immigration but trade freely with the EU and would seek a “mature cooperative relationship” with the EU. “The UK will continue to face similar challenges to our European neighbours, we will continue to share the same values, so I want a mature, cooperative relationship with our European partners,” she said.
BEIJING, OCT 21 (PTI): Chinese President Xi Jinping today called for building strong armed forces - under the command of the Communist Party leadership - that commensurate with the country’s international status and national security. Speaking at a function to commemorate 80th anniversary of victory of Long March led by Chairman Mao Zedong to capture power, Xi, who is regarded as the most powerful leader after Mao, said the party’s absolute leadership over armed forces is the fundamental guarantee for the army’s victory. “To build a strong country requires efforts to build a strong army, and only with a strong army can the country’s security be guaranteed,” said Xi, the general secretary of Communist Party of China and chairman of Central Military Commission - the high command of the Chinese military.

trenchment of three lakh troops to downsize 2.3-million strong People’s Liberation Army (PLA) - the world’s largest military. Xi has already reconstituted military’s administrative and command structure after carrying out an anti-corruption drive in which several retired and servicing top officials were indicted. He called for efforts to foster a new generation of Chinese servicemen who are “soldiers with soul, high caliber, gut and virtue,” and to build rock-solid troops with “iron-like belief, conviction, discipline and commitment.” “The Long March is the glory of the people’s army, and the honourable people’s army must always carry forward the great spirit and fine tradition of the Red Army in the Long March,” Xi said. He called on the armed forces to adhere to the party’s absolute leadership, maintain their nature and uphold their principles as the people’s army, and be the heir to the Red Army. Moreover, he urged the military to uphold political integrity, promote reform and rule of law, and strengthen combat readiness, state-run Xinhua news agency reported. The entire military should remain vigilant and be aware of its responsibilities, Xi said, noting that the modernisation of national defence and armed forces must advance in a bid to safeguard the country’s national sovereignty, security and development interest.

BEIJING, OCT 21 (PTI): A jubilant China today defended Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s decision to “separate” from the US, saying as an elected leader of a sovereign state he has every right to make “independence choices”. “Duterte is elected by the people. We believe he will make choices independently which benefits the Philippines and its people in mind,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told a media briefing here reacting to confusion and concern caused by Duterte’s remarks in the US. “The sovereign state Philippines can make decisions policies based on its own interests and we respect that,” she said defending Duterte’s U-turn virtually ending the Philippines alliance with the US and turn to Beijing. In a shocking announce-
Clinton was the first one to laugh when Trump joked that she had bumped into him earlier in the night “and she very simply said ‘Pardon me’” — an unsubtle reference to the Republican nominee’s frequent declarations that his opponent should go to jail. Clinton, meanwhile, was more self-deprecating than Trump, joking that she’s taken a break from her “usual nap schedule” to attend and suggesting that the audience should be pleased she’s not charging her usual fee for speaking in front of potential donors. But she also got in some digs at Trump, a few of which drew scattered jeers. Clinton said she understood why Trump was leery of teleprompters because they can be difficult to follow and “I’m sure it’s even harder when you’re translating from the original Russian.” The dinner is named after the former New York governor, who was the first Catholic to receive a major party nomination for president when he unsuccessfully ran in 1928. And fittingly for an event named after a man nicknamed “The Happy Warrior,” the occasion has produced dozens of memorable presidential jokes — and sincere moments of goodwill that have remained largely absent from the 2016 campaign. “I can’t wish my opponent luck,” John McCain said in 2008, turning toward Obama, “but I do wish him well.”

Kirkuk, an ethnically and religiously divided city currently under Kurdish control, woke up to find IS fighters spreading across several neighbourhoods. A correspondent saw a group of men carrying rifles and grenades and wearing “Afghan-style clothes” walk down one street in Kirkuk. At least five suicide bombers struck government targets in the city, including the main police headquarters, in a coordinated attack that began in the middle of the night. IS claimed the raid, ac-
cording to the IS-affiliated Amaq news agency, one of the most spectacular such attacks by the group in recent months. Gunfire and explosions echoed across the city all morning, residents said, and live footage on local television showed street battles in several neighbourhoods. “A r o u n d m o r n i n g prayers, I saw several Dawaesh (IS fighters) enter Al-Mohammadi mosque,” Haidar Abdelhussein, a teacher who lives in the Tesaeen neighbourhood, told AFP. The governor of Kirkuk, Najmeddin Karim, said he suspected the involvement of IS sleeper cells. According to Amaq, the jihadist group claimed to control half of the city but reports from witnesses and security officers suggest that may be an exaggeration. Kirkuk lies 240 kilometres north of Baghdad, in an oil-rich region. The IS fighters who attacked before dawn and later holed themselves up in several buildings appear to have no vehicles nor heavy equipment.

November 11. “People here are lovely, and have inherent love for music. We also fell in love with the place as we start the journey of the film. As Shillong has many rock bands that also performed in different cities, we felt it incomplete if no band from here is involved in the movie,” Akhtar said. He said that when people saw beautiful places from Meghalaya and the Northeast featuring in films, it may also promote tourism as visitors may like to visit such beautiful
places. She described Shillong one of the places where she felt difficult to go back home, Kapoor said, “I have been here four times from the time the film was shot. This is my favourite place, and it’s very hard to say goodbye to Shillong. “ “People are lovely and we all feel at home. It is a dream to be part of Rock On 2,” she added. Asked if he proposed to shoot more films in Meghalaya, the Bollywood actor said, “every film calls for its

I do hope more movies come and shoot here and have the creative experience that we had and enjoy this amazing place.” Echoing Akhtar said, Kapoor said, “Trust me, given any chance, we want to come back”. Meanwhile, Akhtar exuded confidence that the Rock On 2 will get a good audience “people have seen and enjoyed the first one (Rock On), and I hoped the second film which also featured new characters would do well,” he said. Reacting to the ongoing debate not to allow Pakistani artistes feature in Indian films, Akhtar said, when things were “good” nobody was complaining about working with each other. “It’s not only films, there are lot of export and import, and lot of exchanges that happen. It’s a way beyond that film industry can imagine. It affects a lot of things and we need to weigh the pros and cons of the issue. Personally, I believed there is certain distinction to be made between artists and others.” he observed. (Correspondent)
Phil Collins fans react after tickets sell out in seconds
Nagaland Post, Dimapur Saturday, October 22, 2016
Lady Gaga responds to David Bowie’s son’s criticism of her: ‘It hurt’
L T
ickets for Phil Collins’ comeback tour sold out in seconds leaving many fans disappointed. Collins is coming out of retirement to perform a five-night residency at London’s Royal Albert Hall in June before playing dates in Cologne and Paris. Fans were outraged after tickets for the musician’s first live shows in a decade were snapped up in record time, only to appear on secondary ticket sites minutes later with eye-watering markup. Buyers looking for tickets on Ticketmaster are now redirected to its official ticket reselling site Get Me In, where prices range from £290 to £2200. Users voiced their annoyance with touts on Twitter, complaining that “Tickets for Phil Collins have been on sale for 3 mins and they’re already on resale on GETMEIN. People are the worst.”
ady Gaga has spoken out in response to David Bowie‘s son Duncan Jones’ criticism of her GRAMMYs performance, revealing that ‘it hurt’. The ‘Joanne’ and ‘Perfect Illusion’ star performed a tribute performance in honour of Bowie at this year’s GRAMMY Awards. Joined by Nile Rodgers, she ran through a medley of hits by the Thin White Duke – before his son, acclaimed director Duncan Jones, slammed it as ‘overexcited, irrational and mentally confused’. Speaking to NME for this week’s cover story, Gaga said “I don’t know why people compare me to David Bowie, because there will never be another David Bowie and I don’t think anyone is comparable to him. “Maybe because I stole his lightning bolt for my first video, but it was an homage to my greatest inspiration. I don’t know, it makes me uncomfortable, I should say – I just want to be me.” Revealing that the Grammys performance was ‘devastating’ and ‘extremely difficult, she continued: “I really did not want to do it when they first called me because it was so soon after and I felt very uncomfortable. “I did my very best to put
together something that I hoped would be the showstopper of the night. All I wanted was for when the Grammys were over, for people to talk of nothing but David Bowie, and I think I achieved that.” Responding to Duncan Jones’ Tweet, she told us: “It did hurt. But what are you going to do? I can’t… it’s his father, you know. Whatever he was feeling in that moment I have compassion and love for him. But yes, of course it hurt. I still have to trust and believe in myself as a Bowie fan. I’m not his family, and the thing is, that’s his father. His father is not David Bowie, his father is David Jones. Bowie passed away in January at the age of 69. A new ‘best of ’ compilation ‘Bowie Legacy’ is set for
release on 11 November. It has been reported that David Bowie planned ‘a long list of musical releases’ before he died, with the upcoming release of the ‘Lazarus’ musical soundtrack to feature his final ever recordings and unheard songs Meanwhile after great anticipation, Lady Gaga’s new album Joanne is now out. Joanne is Gaga’s fifth studio album and her first in two years. If this set hits No. 1 on the Billboard 200, it will make for Gaga’s fourth consecutive chart-topper. The album was executive produced by Gaga and Mark Ronson and includes collaborations with Beck, Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Father John Misty.
Dave Grohl helps Jane’s Addiction get Hall of Fame nomination
J
ane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell says the band’s nomination for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame came about thanks to Foo Fighters’ leader Dave Grohl. Earlier this week, Jane’s Addiction were confirmed as one of the nominees for next year’s event, along with artists including Yes, Pearl Jam and Bad Brains. And Farrell reports that Grohl tipped him off about the news before it became public knowledge – and that the Foos’ man had a helping hand
in their inclusion. Farrell tells Eddie Trunk: “I’m very excited about it. When I heard about it, I was on the phone texting, but my feet were clapping. “Just recently, Dave Grohl had a fundraiser for his children’s school and he invited me to participate. When I was there, he took me in the corner, and said, ‘Hey, man, I just want to let you know something. I’ve been working with the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame – and I got you on the ballot. I hope it all goes well.’
“And that’s when I heard about it and really got excited. So it was a great weekend.” Meanwhile, guitarist Dave Navarro says he’s excited by the thought of entering the Rock Hall – but doesn’t want to look too far into the future in case it doesn’t happen. He tells Billboard: “We’re super excited, but it’s hard to talk about because it’s a nomination. The jury’s still out. It’s very much an honour and we’d love to be in the Hall – but we don’t want to jinx it.

ruce Springsteen has revealed that he wrote a song intended for the Harry Potter film franchise. In an interview with BBC Radio 2’s Simon Mayo, the American singer-songwriter said he offered Harry Potter producers the chance to use his ballad ‘I’ll Stand By You Always’ but was turned down. “It was pretty good,” he said. “It was a song that I wrote for my eldest son, it was a big ballad that was very uncharacteristic of something I’d sing myself. But it was something that I thought would have fit lovely.” It’s possible that one of Springsteen’s songs could still find their way into a Harry Potter movie, however. Last week, JK Rowling announced that her spin-off novella Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be adapted into five movies. The author’s decision to extend the 128 page book into a new film series was questioned by some on social media. Rowling responded by reassuring fans: “I think, when you realise what story we’re *really* telling, you’ll understand that it can’t possibly fit in one movie!”

MDFA Trophy 2016 suspended; organisers question dist admn
Correspondent
Mokokchung, 21 Oct: In an unfortunate development, the district administration M o k o k c h u n g Fr i d ay h a s issued an order suspending the ongoing MDFA Trophy. The turn of events unfolded when the 2nd semi final match was underway between Fusion SC and Shitilong SA. The match was disrupted after the official decision given by the referee was disputed which led to disturbances making the match unable to continue. And within half an hour of the chaos, the district administration promulgated the order of suspending of the trophy. When queried about the order, an official of the district administration said that the order of suspension was declared due to public nuisance and as a preventive measure. Meanwhile, the Mokokchung District Football Association (MDFA) and the
NWA qualified referees meeting
organizing committee of the MDFA 2016 has expressed shock at the sudden suspension of the ongoing trophy while the second semi-final match was underway. While it is understandable that there was some misunderstanding among the teams playing the tournament from time to time for varied reasons, the Mokokchung district administration giving a suspension order of the most popular and much awaited football tournament in the district, without calling the MDFA or the organizing committee for a consultation, is most shocking and uncalled for, stated tournament Supongwati and organizing committee convener Aodangnok in a press statement. The decision of the district administration to stop the match citing “that the tournament has caused law and order situation in the district HQ” was very unfortunate and shocking, the MDFA statement
stated. MDFA and the organizing committee has also questioned the district administration as “what their motive is”, given the fact that the MDFA Trophy is being organized under the strong patronage of the Mokokchung District Sports council in which the Deputy Commissioner is the chairman. The district administration has always given strong support to the MDFA Trophy in the past years but the suspension of this year’s edition of the MDFA Trophy is most questionable and for which the MDFA has taken serious note and would call meetings among the different stakeholders for further course of action, the press statement added. M e a n w h i l e, M D FA a n d t h e M D FA Tr o p h y 2016 organizing committee apologized to the football fans of Mokokchung for the inconveniences caused due to unavoidable circumstances.
