CM justifies stand on civic polls D imapur , O ct 2 5 (NPN): State chief minister T.R. Zeliang has justified the cabinet decision for holding elections to municipal and town councils to the provisions in the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 and amendment made to the Act by the state government in 2006.

Media Cell of the CMO said the chief minister made the statement while inaugurating the Pungro Town Council Kiphire district Tuesday morning.

Zeliang said the state government had taken a “bold decision” to hold civic polls with 33% women reservation even though the case was pending in the Supreme Court. He revealed that his government had decided not to wait for the judgment of the Supreme Court since the outcome was “unpredictable”.

Zeliang also informed that grants for development of towns would not be forthcoming if no municipal and town council polls were held as per the recommendations of the 14th Finance Commission.

He also pointed out that urban local bodies were expected to raise their own resources and asked people to pay taxes and fees

to their councils willingly so as to help them flourish.

The chief minister maintained that development demanded that people inculcate a progressive mindset and an attitude of willingness to contribute towards common development needs.

He urged people to ask what they could do for the new town council instead of asking what it could do for them if it was to flourish.

Zeliang also announced that the government has put as priority, the proposal for 400 housing for the urban poor at Pungro in the current financial year. CMO also

informed that president of Eastern Naga Women Organisation (ENWO) Mrs Birila Tonkiu in her address, thanked the chief minister and his cabinet for their decision to hold civic polls with 33% women reservation.

The CMO said that Mrs Tonkiu had reiterated that women reservation did not infringe upon Article 371A as the former involved urban governance.

CMO said she also countered that if Naga men could enjoy rights why not Naga women? Birila also reiterated that constitutional rights was for all, irrespective of gender. The ENWO president also as-

serted that Naga women would not have fought for 33% reservation if it infringed upon Article 371A. She also rejected suggestions on nomination of women with voting rights and instead wanted that women quota be accepted as per the assembly amendment in 2006.

Also speaking at the function, Parliamentary secretary municipal affairs Tohanba reminded that the primary role of urban bodies was to empower urban local governance through delegation of powers to local bodies.

Tohanba expressed optimism that Pungro T own Council would boost the economic activities within the town which is located near the border and generate revenue incomes.

Citinig 2011 census he said Pungro has 5,744 people with 854 households and a literacy rate of 80.67% that was higher than the state average of 79.55%.

DIMAPUR, OCT 25 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland has made another startling allegation of a whopping “Rs. 1276 crore wheat scam” with regard to distribution of PDS wheat in Nagaland under the Food & Civil Supplies (F&CS) department.

ACAUT through its media cell, raised objection on what basis the department was distributing wheat when there was no consumer/beneficiaries, alleging that the whole consignment may have been diverted to the open market by the carriage contractors and the syndicate players.

Distribution of wheat under APL, BPL, AAY, to all the 11 districts as per departmental records (in Kg) 12,51,30,000 Anomaly: B cannot be more than A 14,92,28,000 ------12,18,80,000 ------9,01,76,000 ------3,49,08,000 3,09,06,000 2,42,92,000 3,61,37,000 3,59,06,000 3,09,06,000 2,34,14,000 2,52,87,000 72,81,70,000 Kg or 72.81 Crore Kg

ACAUT said the whole PDS was in such a mess that even the records supplied through RTI showed that in the years between 200307, F&CS distributed more wheat than was supplied by the Central government.

If calculated, ACAUT said the 12 year quota (20032015 as per table) of wheat supplied, that is-- 51.07 crore kg x Rs.25 per kg at present market rate, the monetary value comes to Rs.1276,98,25,000.

Justifying its claim based on an RTI reply, ACAUT said the figures (See Table) would make the pub-

Centre released Rs. 6 cr Certificate issue: ZPO (N) Lotha Hoho slams CMO for Hindi teachers’ salary demands speedy probe for dragging its name Correspondent

KOHIMA, OCT 25 (NPN): Even as the Hindi and SSA teachers are on agitation against non-payment of salaries for more than seven months now, it has emerged that the Central government had on September 29 last “reluctantly” released an amount of Rs. 6 crore for disbursement of salary to the Hindi teachers.

Highly placed sources told Nagaland Post that though the amount was released for payment of salaries to Hindi teachers, after adjusting Rs. 463.96 lakhs (the amount arranged by state government from the state budget for the payment of salary till February 2016 in the month of July 2016) from Rs. 6 crore, the remaining amount Rs. 136.04 lakh from the recent release did not meet the requirement of the Hindi teachers salary even for one month.

Moreover, sources said despite acute shortage of fund being released, the centre has

signalled the state government that funding of Hindi teachers would be discontinued by March 2017.

Sources said the state government had already sent a request note for extension/continuation of the scheme for the Hindi teachers. According to sources, the amount required for Hindi teachers’ salary was over Rs. 4 crore in a month amounting to more than Rs. 50 crores in a year while for SSA teachers the monthly requirement was Rs. 9.2 crore.

For the SSA, sources said owing to the change of guard in the MHRD, things had been delayed, as the ministry has again sought for more details and clarifications. For this, sources said the department has responded three weeks back, adding that the state share of 10% for SSA and RMSA has already been cleared. It was also informed that minister of school education and commissioner & secretary school education were currently in Delhi for all these matters.

DIMAPUR, OCT 25 (NPN): Zeliang People’s Organisation, Nagaland (ZPO-N) Tuesday urged upon state government to expedite its investigation to verify the issuance of ST certificate, Indigenous Inhabitant Certificate and backward tribe certificate to two persons from Manipur in the name of Zeliang tribe. ZPO (N) media cell in a press statement said that delay in the investigation process by the competent authority will prolong in finalization on the issue of appointment letters to those deserving indigenous Naga candidates.

It may be mentioned that ZPO (N) had in its complaint to Commissioner, Nagaland on July 26, 2016 demanded that the NPSC to withhold the candidacy of the two-- K. Rangsobe, s/o Peining and Lunghilang Pamai s/o Ramlan from Manipur, who appeared NPSC Exam 2016 (Roll No. 15424 and 15663) in the name of Zeliang tribe. In response, the Commissioner, Nagaland in its order dated August 10, 2016 to the Home Commissioner, recommended for verification after obtaining documents of the two persons from the NPSC. Therefore, ZPO (N) wanted NPSC to segregate the deserving and undeserving cases so that normal procedure of filling the antecedent form of selected candidates that have no complaint can be settled separately. ZPO (N) further, cautioned that any blunder committed by those undeserving candidates at the expense of the indigenous Naga job aspirants would be “unceremoniously dismissed” as the process of verification will reveal the truth.

DIMAPUR, OCT 25 (NPN): Lotha Hoho (LH) has taken strong exception in dragging its name

by Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) while reacting to independent legislator N. Thomas Ngullie on holding civic polls.

LH asked CMO that if it was reacting to Thomas’s view on 33% women reservation, then why did it dragged Lotha Hoho on the PIL? LH had earlier clarified that PIL was filed to sustain the provisions of Article 371 A, since NP&NG Regulations and Rules 2012, were against the rights of the land owners.

Therefore, LH said that PIL has nothing to do with the 33% women quota; neither does it in any way imperil the safeguards of the said Article. Instead, it cautioned the politicians

not to twist the facts with an “ulterior motive” to mislead the Naga public.

LH chairman Mhao Humtsoe and general secretary Er. Mhondamo Ovung in a press statement also asked CMO, whether this was an indicative of an ulterior motive? If not, LH reminded the politicians and CMO not to make fun of themselves, as every Naga intellectual and organisations knew that the PIL was for safeguarding the provisions of Article 371A. LH also asked CMO why the state government violated Article 371A (guarantee the rights of landowners) by imposing CrPC 144, and launched MOGPL at Tssori- Champang Oil fields, on July 21, 2014? It therefore, appealed to one and all to desist from politicising the PIL so that the general Naga public would not be misled.

Remark by ACAUT Nagaland

It is an absolute fabrication to claim that the F&CS deptt has been supplying Wheat to the Villages in the Districts when Nagas don’t eat Wheat. The only Realistic conclusion Is, there is virtual 100% diversion Of wheat to the Black market

lic understand how the syndicate allegedly comprising of carriage contractors- local Nagas as decorative fronts, politicians, the department, and non-Naga businessmen have pocketed thousands of crores of rupees.

In this regard, ACAUT urged the public to make their own conclusion as highlighted, saying “It’s a Rs. 1,276 crore scam”.

Meanwhile, a day after it demanded cancellation of the Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) on contract and supply works, floated by F&CS department, ACAUT made (Cont’d on p-7)

NTC appeals GPRN/NSCN for maximum restrain Ibobi’s stage managed ambush: NSCN (I-M) DIMAPUR, OCT 25 (NPN): Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) while condemning the unprovoked firing by 28 Assam Rifles at Okotso village on October 23, which resulted in the killing of one member of GPRN/NSCN and injury to another, has appealed GPRN/NSCN to exercise maximum restraint.

NTC media cell said that such kind of incidents could have been averted when both the parties respect the laid down rules.

Since, it came to know from local sources that the incident took place 40 km away from 28 AR camp, NTC wondered what could have provoked AR to resort to violence.

NTC said that the security forces by resorting to violence once again reminded the public of the past hostility thereby threatening the fragile peace in the state.

Since, used of violence

was tantamount to disrespect of the general sentiment of the public, NTC wanted both the parties to take up any violation of Ceasefire ground rules with the Ceasefire Monitoring Cell so that such kind of “dreadful incident” could be avoided.

Further, NTC asked the Government of India to avoid using “carrot and stick policy of peace process and indiscriminate hunt on the groups engaged in ceasefire”. It urged the State government to investigate on the incident and book those responsible, so that such recurrence could be prevented.

GPRN/NSCN condemns

GPRN/NSCN while condemning the October 23 firing incident in the jungles of Okotso village, said it was a clear case of violation of cease-fire ground rules perpetuated by 28th Assam

Rifles GPRN/NSCN supervisor for cease-fire supervisory board, Jack Jimomi through its MIP said “the situation on the ground at that very moment was quite normal, without a slightest thought of provocation”.

Since the process of the designated camp was at its final stage, Jimomi said both sides knew of the presence of each other from the very beginning.

While stating that the security forces literally deviated itself from the agreed rules of engagement, Jimomi said the unilateral action has also clearly exposed the real intent of the “Indian security forces deployed in cease-fire declared zone” since He urged upon both Indian security forces and Naga Army to remain committed to the collective wisdom, animated from the political leadership of the GoI

and NSCN and to adhere to the laid down ground rules.

Jimomi reminded that under the established norms, no one was empowered to take one’s precious soul on whimsical pretext. “Ground rules clearly states, under Clause-IV that, ‘there would be no offensive like ambush, raid and attack leading to death/injury/damage or loss of property against the NSCN by the Indian Army, Para-military forces and the Police”.

Pointing out that the Okotso firing incident was evidently backed by its fatal human casualties and collateral damages against NSCN, Jimomi said the ground rules was “grossly utilised by a section of 28 AR”.

Meanwhile, CFSB/ NSCN said it deeply mourned the untimely demise of ‘lieut.’ Imti Ao of Chungtia village and extended deepest condolence to the bereaved family members.

DIMAPUR, OCT 25 (NPN): NSCN (I-M) has termed it as “false allegation” that it was involved in the ambush on the CM’s chopper on October 24 at Ukhrul which was made

by Manipur chief minister Ibobi and deputy chief minister Gaikhangam.

Narrating the sequence, MIP said Ibobi was to inaugurate the development projects in Ukhrul on October 15 to boost his government’s dwindling image on the eve of election. Security was therefore beefed prior to the visit especially in the three venues where Ibobi was to have visiteddistrict hospital Hunpung, Chingai Block and LM Block, it said.

MIP maintained that Ibobi had “done so much damage to the Naga people and tribal in general in Manipur” and cited the following- the three anti-tribal bills and which resulted in the loss of nine innocent tribal lives at Churachand-

pur; strongly opposed solution of the Nagas and the 1997 cease fire between the government of India and NSCN and advocating war at Naga areas; totally opposed the home visit of chief negotiator of the Naga people in the “Indo-Naga political talks” and general secretary Th. Muivah to his native village and resulting in the killings of two innocent Naga students at Mao Gate in 2010.

As such, MIP said, the Tangkhul Naga Long declared boycott Ibobi’s visit to Ukhrul because of his “anti-Naga and antitribal mentality, attitude and policies” adding, that such a man did not deserve to set food on Naga soil.

In response MIP said entire citizens of Ukhrul district extended cooperation to the call of the Tangkhul Naga Long. It said the entire area of the hospital to be inaugurated had been cordoned off and thoroughly sanitized prior to October

15 “where even a rat could not penetrate” till the scheduled arrival by a tier-security ring by Manipur Rifles, Manipur Commandos, CRPF, Manipur Police and Assam Rifles.

MIP said that under such a blanket security, there was no chance of other external force(s) causing injury to one IRB personnel except by themselves. When Ibobi landed at Bakshi town, the entire town was deserted and Ibobi continued to remain confined inside the helicopter , till it took off again after a few minutes, said MIP. Right after the chopper took off, MIP said the security commander “shouted urgently to all security forces positioned inside the ground” to go inside the hall which was occupied by security personnel. Then six rounds of AK 47 were fired injuring one Manipur Rifles jawan, MIP said as Ibobi had instructed the security men (Cont’d on p-7) to fire K Y M C

Naga bodies react

The United Naga Council (UNC) and Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL) termed episode in Ukhrul as an event allegedly stagemanaged by Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh.

TNL President Weapon Zimik told media that it was not possible for any armed elements to ambush someone or plant bombs when a large number of security force personnel were deployed in the area as a security measure for the visit of the Chief Minister to Ukhrul.

Zimik said his organization while fully endorsing the stand of the tribal people to bar anti tribal people from entering the hill districts, imposed the bandh. “Ibobi Singh government was responsible for the passing of the three Anti Tribal Bills. Still nine tribal martyrs are lying at Churachandpur. How can

we allow a leader like Ibobi Singh to enter our soil,” Zimik said.

“Ibobi’s plan to visit Ukhrul was with bad intention. His intention has been to create troubles in the hill districts district.

He knew we tribal people are boycotting those anti tribal legislators in the hill districts. Even after fully aware of the situation he wants to come to our soil,” he added.

Speaking on the same line UNC President Gaidon Kamei said Ibobi’s intention to visit Ukhrul was to create problems in the peace zone. He then called Ibobi Singh as the mother of terrorism while recalling the Mao Gate incident, the Ukhrul killing incident, and the Churachandpur incident of 2015.

“We have a standing resolution that Ibobi Singh and his loyal legislators have been boycotted in the hill districts but still he wants to create troubles,” the UNC president added. Kamei also said that Ibobi Singh’s doctrine is violence” and strongly condemned the “act of Ibobi Singh in Ukhrul.

Mulayam projects ‘all is well’ image

LU C K N OW, O C T 2 5 (PTI): Notwithstanding the deep divide in his family and party, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today sought to project an ‘all is well’ image even though he could not commit whether his brother Shivpal would be reinstated in the cabinet of son Akhilesh Yadav who had sacked him.

The “party and family are united”, he said here at a press conference where he was flanked by Shivpal and three other sacked ministers but Chief Minister Akhilesh was conspicuous by his absence.

While Mulayam addressed the press conference, a day after acrimonious scenes were witnessed at the party meet, supporters of Akhilesh and Shivpal held protests outside the SP office.

Seeking to assert his dominant role, Mulayam said SP had come to power in Uttar Pradesh in 2012 because of him only and still he had made Akhilesh the Chief Minister. He how-

SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav addresses the media at the party office in Lucknow Tuesday. (PTI) ever, ruled out becoming the Chief Minister with Assembly elections barely few months away.

“My entire life is devoted for the welfare of the people and he will continue to work for them,” he added. Mulayam strongly defended party MP Amar Singh, who is being blamed by the Akhilesh faction for the problems in the family, asking “why to drag him in all this”?

“My family and party

are united. All workers are united. There are some conspirators, who do not have any mass base,” Mulayam told a hurriedly convened press conferences. “There is not ‘matbhed’ (difference) or ‘manbhed’ (ill feelings) among our leaders,” Yadav said. Asked whether Shivpal and other sacked ministers would then be reinstated in the Akhilesh cabinet, he said, “I leave this to CM....

You ask him why he made them ministers and why he

sacked them.”

Appearing cautious while replying to a questions, Mulayam said, “I will not make any single controversial statement. Whatever you may ask.”

To a question whether he would take over the reins of the state from his son Akhilesh, the SP supremo said, “Why will I consider it now when Assembly elections are just few months away.” He said Model Code of Conduct will come into force in November or December and government will not be able to work freely.

About party’s Chief ministerial candidate for 2017, the SP supremo said, “Ours is a democratic party.

First let us get majority and then elected representatives will select their CM. Presently, Akhilesh is CM, does anyone have any problem?” On certain statements by pro-Akhilesh cousin Ramgopal Yadav, who has been expelled from the party, Mulayam said, “I do not give him any importance now.”

Armed forces upset over status downgrade NEW DELHI, OCT 25 (PTI): After crying foul over OROP and disability pension, officers in the armed forces are upset over a Defence Ministry circular which purportedly downgrades their status vis-a-vis their civilian counterparts, prompting Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar to say he would personally look into it and resolve the issue.

The order has brought an army Major General (rear admiral in the navy and vicemarshal in the air force) on par with a principal director at the Armed Force Hq Civil Service. A Brigadier/Commodore/Air Commodore would be equal in status to a director, and a Colonel/ Captain/Group Captain equivalent to a joint director in the civil service. The circular issued by the Defence Ministry on rank equivalence between defence officers and AFHQ civil service officers brings the rank of armed forces officers a notch down compared to their earlier status, officers said.

Yashwant meets separatists over unrest Hindutva verdict: SC not to SRINAGAR, OCT 25 (IANS): A five-member team led by senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha on Tuesday met separatist leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq here with a view to break a logjam after over three months of deadly unrest in the Kashmir Valley.

The team, which includes former bureaucrat Wajahat Habibullah, who has served in Jammu and Kashmir, ex-Air Vice Marshal Kapil Kak, journalist Bharat Bhushan and activist Sushobha Barve, landed in Srinagar and drove to Geelani’s residence in Hyderpora.

The delegation members made it clear that they did not represent the government and were visiting the Kashmir Valley on their own initiative. Geelani, who heads the hardline faction of the separatist Hurriyat Conference, agreed to meet and talk to the delegation.

The octogenarian separatist had on September 4 shut the door on Marxist leader Sitaram Yechury and three other non-BJP

Rahul to become Congress chief soon: Soni SHIMLA, OCT 25 (IANS): Rahul Gandhi will soon become the Congress party President, party leader Ambika Soni said on Tuesday.

“We know that Rahul Gandhi is going to become the Congress President soon but I cannot provide you any further details,” she told reporters here. Soni was here along with former union minister Anand Sharma to attend the general house of the Himachal Pradesh Congress that concluded on Monday. She said the next assembly election in Himachal Pradesh, due in December next year, would be fought under the leadership of Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh.

“Virbhadra Singh will be the Chief Minister for the seventh time,” she told reporters. Patting the state government for its publicoriented policies, the incharge of party affairs in the state said there was no quota system in the party for the allocation of party ticket for the assembly polls.

“Only winning prospects of a candidate and his/her loyalty to the party will be criteria for the ticket allocation.”

Regarding Priyanka Gandhi’s role in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh election, she said: “Priyanka has been playing an active role in the party for the past 14 years.”

Yashwant Sinha MPs who were part of an all-party delegation on a visit to Kashmir.

“Our objective was to meet and interact and that objective has been achieved.

The talks were held in cordial atmosphere,” Sinha told reporters outside Geelani’s highly fortified house where he has been kept under detention for over three months.

Sinha and his team members later went to meet Mirwaiz Umar Farooq at his Nigeen house, a day after the moderate separatist was freed from a guest-house-turned-jail in Srinagar and has now been detained at his residence.

They are also expected to meet other separatist leaders, including Jammu

and Kashmir Liberation Front leader Yaseen Malik who was moved from jail to a Srinagar hospital after his health deteriorated.

Sinha said they were visiting the valley purely on a humanitarian basis and their trip should not be seen as a government effort to break ice with the separatist leaders, who have been spearheading the agitation since the July 8 killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.

“Our motto is to share the grievances and pain (of Kashmiri people). I hope the state of unrest will be resolved soon,” the former BJP minister said, adding that they were “not here as a part of any delegation”.

Habibullah said the team didn’t represent any government or political party. “Ours is a purely personal initiative to identify with the sufferings of the people here.”

Bhushan, a veteran journalist and editor of multimedia Catch News, refused to divulge details of the meetings. “Sorry, I cannot talk,” Bhushan told IANS.

NEW DELHI, OCT 25 (PTI): The Supreme Court, which is hearing a contentious matter relating to electoral malpractices arising out of its 1995 judgement, popularly known as the ‘Hindutva’ verdict, today said it would not examine the issue of religion at this stage.

“We will not go into the larger debate as to what is Hindutva or what is its meaning. We will not reconsider the 1995 judgement and also not examine Hindutva or religion at this stage,” a seven-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said.

“At this stage, we will

The Indian army gave a “befitting response” to the ceasefire violation from the Pakistani side, he added.

“We have inputs that two to three Pakistani soldiers have been killed in the retaliatory firing by our men,” an army officer told PTI here. “The firing is still going on and our side is giving a befitting reply,” he said, adding there is no loss of life or injury on our side. In Jammu district, 6 female members of a family were injured in Suchetgarh sector of R S Pura along the International Border after a mortar shell fired by the Pakistan Rangers exploded in their house this evening.

“They are being given first aid at R S Pura hospital after which they will be shifted to Government Medical College (GMC) hospital here shortly,” DC (Jammu) Simrandeep Singh said.

Drawback or laidback

W

hile there has been a lot of satisfaction about the high 80.11 per cent literacy rate of Nagaland(2011 census), there is also a lot of dissatisfaction about the poor achievement of youth of Nagaland in competitive examinations outside the state. There are sufficient indicators that the youth of Nagaland are falling way behind in the realm of professionalism and that could be a piece of bad news which possibly reflects the quality of education. Candidates of other north east states are doing better and that is also an indication that the environment in the state needs to be analyzed in order to understand the reasons or factors responsible for the drawback(s). In a profit sheet and efficiency goal-oriented world, the dynamism of work culture is evaluated by performance produced through professionalism and productivity. Contemporary society in Nagaland faces several dilemmas that stem from the conceptual philosophy of politics, religion and renaissance of cultural ideology. Traditional values that have imbibed the spirit of self reliance in the past, have almost disappeared and made way to a life of dependency upon government largesse. Such a trend has led to erosion of the base for professionalism which severely weakened the fundamental structures during the decades. There has been a lot of discussion on the quality of education in the state. The point to note, is that education is not confined any longer, to within the four walls of institutions. Today, any keen student who is focused, can self develop with inputs from the environment to inculcate a sense of professionalism and become specialized with knowledge or skills to achieve high standards of productivity or results as desired. The dependency or government-spoon feeding syndrome is one of the negative aspects which has weakened the spirit of excellence among society’s youth.

The success rate of youths from Nagaland in UPSC is rare while not too many are doing well in the lower or middle levels of various professions.

This picture does not compliment investment of huge sum of money in the education and other fields that are meant to promote the interest of the youth. Though the condition at home gets no better other than the flicker of hope or dreams about an economic turnaround; the concept of self-employment has been weighed down by lack of dignity of labour. Every notion and concept has to be developed and sustained over the decades or even centuries. However for the Naga people the concept of development continues to be barraged by the negative aspects of politics. People of every race or nation throughout the world are proud of their unique identity or history and the pride is sustained by a sense of responsibility to build and develop society. Though professionalism has not developed as it should; there can only be a vigorous effort to keep pace through innovative learning programmes beyond the classrooms etc. Another syndrome that has become self defeating are babuism or sahebism among the so-called middle class. Too many babus at the lower level and sahebs at the upper level has become the bane of real progress. It is time that some though be given on this matter so as to create some awareness about professionalism.

DailyDevotion Submitting to God’s Purpose

I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. —1 Corinthians 9:22 A Christian worker has to learn how to be God’s man or woman of great worth and excellence in the midst of a multitude of meager and worthless things. Never protest by saying, “If only I were somewhere else!” All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them.

Unless we have the right purpose intellectually in our minds and lovingly in our hearts, we will very quickly be diverted from being useful to God. We are not workers for God by choice. Many people deliberately choose to be workers, but they have no purpose of God’s almighty grace or His mighty Word in them. Paul’s whole heart, mind, and soul were consumed with the great purpose of what Jesus Christ came to do, and he never lost sight of that one thing. We must continually confront ourselves with one central fact— “…Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).

“I chose you…” (John 15:16). Keep these words as a wonderful reminder in your theology. It is not that you have gotten God, but that He has gotten you. God is at work bending, breaking, molding, and doing exactly as He chooses. And why is He doing it? He is doing it for only one purpose— that He may be able to say, “This is My man, and this is My woman.” We have to be in God’s hand so that He can place others on the Rock, Jesus Christ, just as He has placed us.

Never choose to be a worker, but once God has placed His call upon you, woe be to you if you “turn aside…to the right or the left…” (Deuteronomy 28:14).

He will do with you what He never did before His call came to you, and He will do with you what He is not doing with other people. Let Him have His way.

Post-mortem

Asking Hitler to investigate holocoust?

F

uel adulteration racket is a well entrenched mega multi-crore enterprise that has been going on for decades under wilful indulgences of a non-transparent Department of Food & Civil Supplies in connivance with ruthless cut-throat businessmen.

The spectacle of the kingpins still floating around scot-free on bail despite all the rotten physical evidences piled up against them is a stark example of the system that has completely gone off the rail. The unpalatable aspect of this greed dictated recklessness on the part of the Government is the total lack of concern for the common man not only being deprived of essential services like kerosene but additionally causing huge recurring mechanical and financial havoc to all vehicle owners in Nagaland, including every other mechanical equipments that operate on fuel across the board. The simple truth is that government servants attached with vehicles do not feel the pinch of having to repair their vehicles again and again because this expenditure is borne by the government. They therefore have no concern at all or realise the immense hardships that is being caused to private vehicle owners having to repair their ‘fuel adulteration’ related problems with their hard earned income at regular intervals that also shortens the functional lifespan of their vehicles.

There are certain facts that need to be put on the table and squarely addressed. The Chief Minister of Nagaland is the Minister in-charge of the Department of Food &Civil Supplies.

This puts him at the centre of the storm with all the ongoing misappropriation turbulence. It would be awfully difficult to expect him to show ethical decency and accept moral responsibility for all the evidential rot that has already been dug up in his own backyard. Asking him to concede to public demand for calling in an Independent Investigating Agency is like recommending that he commit hara-kiri. The simple fact is that no transaction within his department of Food and Civil Supplies would have been initiated in the absence of his specific instruction...certainly not in the magnitude of 11.90 Cr litres of SK Oil with an estimated value worth Rs.500 Crores as reflected in the local print media. This is as plain a knowledge as God created little apples. The vain argument that SIT is carrying out

the investigation is but a sham of the century. Members of SIT are mere government servants and it does not take a rocket scientist to know that they are bound to severely be exposed to upstairs interferences. They will never humanly be able to withstand the load knowing well that their service will be on the line directly or indirectly.

Considering that the interest of the rich and powerful, both in the political and bureaucratic arena, is under the scanner it is practically impossible to expect anything legally tangible to emerge from SIT’s investigation no matter how determined they may be.

Now, consider this fact that the above astronomical amount is related only to one item of supply in F &CS. The question that automatically comes to the fore is: What about other subsidised state quota items like rice, wheat, sugar etc. where similar non-transparent manipulation of Districts allotments are being carried out in paper through syndicated stockists and transporters year after year? If one digs deeper it may not surprise anyone to discover that the NPGs may also have a percentage share in it considering that this daylight robbery has been going on flawlessly for ages.

ACAUT has done a commendable job of digging up the decade old garbage that has been plaguing the people all these years. They need to expand the road map of inquiry into all the other essential commodity items like rice, sugar and wheat quotas being received on a monthly basis in huge quantities meant for the people which are also being misappropriated without doubt. CCoFA being sweet-talked by CM into suspending the ‘bandh’ and agreeing to a time bound submission of report by SIT was a costly mistake.

It is as good as agreeing to allow Hitler to investigate the holocaust. However, we learn by mistakes and therefore the first round slip should make them more resilient for the next round that is eminently waiting round the corner. Now that the battle line has been drawn, it is important for CCoFA to maintain a focus on the ground reality and ensure that an uncensored copy of SIT report is demanded from the government no matter how watered down it is likely to be.

Naga People verses NSCN (IM) Framework Agreement

T

he most sophisticated and political conscious Naga People becomes most confused and worthless group of people today in the hands of most selfish and stubborn leaders of different Naga Political Groups. The most remarkable and worthier period were the regime of NNC between1940s to 1970s, till NSCN came into being in 1980 under the leadership of Lt. Isak Chisi Swu, Th. Muivah, Khole and S.S. Khaplang accusing some workers of NNC of being the part of infamous Shillong Accord of1975. They failed to use their wisdom to judge the situation and began to attack one another. The best solution to the given situation could have been expulsion of accord signatories instead of condemning their own government i.e. NNC. But the said leaders installed the parallel organization which resulted into downfall of Naga Political Movement.

They might felt proud of what they did without realizing that, their action torn down the unity of the Naga people which was regrettable and unfortunate for the Nagas.

The NSCN/GPRN which they have installed in 1980 witnessed disintegration only after eight years of its formation mainly due to selfish and suspicious character of the leaders and the undivided NSCN/GPRN vertically divided into two i.e.

NSCN-K and NSCN-IM. The leaders refused to reconcile and began to bath with fellow Nagas’ blood. Now, unfortunately, the single NSCN/ GPRN produced four NSCNs, namely, NSCN-K, NSCNIM, NSCN-U and NSCNReformation. The formation of NSCN- Reformation was not out ofchoice but abnormal situation have created it after S.S. Khaplang expelled Y. Wangtin Naga and P. Tikhak, followed by unilateral abrogation of 14 years old cease fire without NSCN party meeting against the wishes of the Naga People. Today, even the NNC/

FGN have been divided into seven houses of which NNC/ PRN recently merged with NSCN-Reformation. Then who should we blame for all these developments?

The leaders of different NPGs should realize their mistakes and begin the process of seeking one another to become one and single force. The unity of the Naga people should precede the independence.

After its formation, the NSCN-Reformation collective leadership undertook its journey of meeting with the leaders of different NPGs and shared the ideas of meeting together in solution table and that was why, the NSCN-Reformation leadership met with NSCN-IM leadership consecutively after Framework Agreement signed between NSCN-IM- GoI on 3rd August 2015 and suggested for wide consultation with all stakeholders but the leadership of NSCN-IM have not used their wisdom and have come on their way and continue to stressed on open door policy, which means all the NPGs should join NSCN-IM. The leaders of NSCN-Reformation on the other hand advised the NSCN-IM leaders to consult all the NPGs instead of talking with GoI because it will not be possible to solve Asian longest political problem by talking to GoI alone. If GoI has power to solve the Naga problem, it could have been solved long back during Nehru-Indira periods. The NSCN-Reformation does not demean the Naga Civil Societies but the NPGs who are in battle line should be best consulted but the proud ness and boastful character of NSCN-IM leaders have unshaped the Naga Political situation pushing it to impossibility. While the Naga people disapproved and refused to accept Framework Agreement and factional solution, the NSCN/GPRN-Reformation will also equally disapprove and reject it whatsoever. Therefore, the NSCN-IM leaders should change the present

atmosphere by consulting other NPGs. About Mr. Khole habitual defection, the NSCN-Reformation is in exclamatory mood because, he first defected from NSCN-K claiming that, he wanted Naga unity and formed NSCN-U but one wondered as to how he claimed that, he have defected for Naga unity by disintegrating his own organization (NSCN-K)? The same man once again defected from NSCN-U by betraying good numbers of his followers in Khehoi and joined NSCNIM. Was it good thing they have done? If he wanted to unify with NSCN-IM, as a President of NSCN-U, he must take all his army and civil authority on board and merge officially shocking every single Naga. On the part of NSCNIM, it could have been far better to consult with NSCN-U as a whole instead of stealing Mr. Khole alone. All what we did have lacked God’s wisdom.

The Shillong Accord of 1975 must be all out condemned because it becomes a bone of contention in Naga National Movement.

In regards to Wokha incident where 28th Assam Rifles attacked and killed NSCN-U Cadres, the NSCN-Reformation condemned the barbaric and uncivilized action of Indian security forces who have no human compunction. The NSCN –Reformation who lost five Naga Armies with five arms in Zeliangrong Region last year in the hands of Indian security forces and inhuman killing of four Naga Army in Changlang District (Arunachal) this year in the hands of merciless Indian Army shared the pain and distresses of the GPRN/ NSCN. These act of Indian Army is direct violation of not only ceasefire clause but also disrespect the human rights of the mankind. We need to have equal respect to understand one another to ensure permanent solution.

Adulterated Cabinet decision on Nagaland Municipal Act, 2001

M

uch have been said and talked about the implementation of the elections to Urban Local Bodies, citing reasons that the fund meant for municipal bodies are being stalled if the Government don’t go ahead with it and the money spend on legal fees exceeding expectations, and the observations of some senior Supreme Court lawyers that the verdict might likely favour the petitioners which will embarrass the Government, etc are the excuses described by the government of the day to go ahead with the elections to Urban Local Bodies. To go for elections in Urban Local Bodies basically implies, this cabinet is all set to implement the Judgement and Order of the Hon’ble Gauhati Court’s order quashing the Nagaland Legislative Assembly cabinet’s decision dated 21st December 2009 to postpone indefinitely the said election vide Order dated 21st Oct. 2011. To go for elections amounts to waiving before the Supreme Court as a Respondent in the matter of: Smt. Rosemary Dzuvichu & Anr, Petitioners VERSUS State of Nagaland & Ors Respondents in (Civil Appellate Jurisdiction), Special Leave Petition NO.(C) 26794 of 2012. A contest between Part XI A (74th Amendment) and Article 371 A (13th Amendment) of the Indian Constitution.

Following the huge sea of unrest all over Nagaland against the 33% reservation of Women led by Naga Hoho and ENPO submit-

ted their joint representation on 16th March 2012, followed by Public of Kiphiri Town, dated 7th March 2012, Gaon Burah Union, Jalukie Town dated 5th March 2012, Sumi Hoho dated 15th March 2012, Kohima Village Council dated 29th Feb. 2012, Kyong Hoho dated 12/ 03/ 2012 and the survey report of the Naga Hoho with their (then) constituent Units Rengma Hoho dated 10/06/2011,Ao Senden dated 10/06/2011, Kyong Hoho dated 11/06/2011, Pochury Public Forum dated 16/06/2011, Chakhesang Public Organization dated 17/06/2011, Zeliangrong Baudi dated 30/06/ 2011, Sumi Hoho dated 9/08/2011, Naga Council Dimapur(sub-ordinate body) dated 16/08/2011 and the Angami Public Organization dated 18/08/2011. The resentment and representations of various NGO’s and tribal Hohos led to the formation of the SELECT COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT RESOLUTION ON THE NAGALAND MUNICIPAL ACT, 2001.

Indeed the decision of the Cabinet, 10th August 2016 have taken the populace as well as the Civil Society Organizations by surprise. A careful post-mortem into this mess reveals the clashes or conflicts of opinion then and now. A select Committee on Government Resolution on the Nagaland Municipal Act, 2001 was constituted on 22nd March 2012 under the chairmanship of (1) Shri. T.R. Zeliang, (2) Dr. Shurhozelie, Minister as

member, (3) Shri. I. Imkong L. Imchen, Minister as member, (4) Shri. C. Kipili Sangtam, MLA as member, (5) Shri. K.L. Chishi, MLA as member, (6) K.V. Pusa, MLA as member and (7) Shri. C. Apok Jamir, MLA as member.

Following are the extracts of the speeches of the members of the select committee on 20/03/12 in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly session. Quotation of the Chairman of the Select Committee, “….From time immemorial, Naga as a society have developed their social, cultural and other ethnic practices without the aid of any law.

Law is an artificial instrument which intruded into tribal society and alters the natural evolution of the tribal society. This 33% Reservation is a legally propounded idea which will permanently alter the natural evolution of the Naga society. Any demand for any such thing must come from within our society in view of our unique history and not thrust upon us from external forces.

This is the reason why we have constitutional filter of 371A to screen the parliamentary laws including constitutional amendments Acts so that the innate nature of the Naga society is prodded forever. Some may say that why should we not tune ourselves to modernly. We are modern without losing touch with our tradition, our way of becoming modern is little different from non-tribal societies becoming modern.

We have our umbilical cord always fetter to our tradi-

tion, our ethnic and cultural practices. Naga society can never be severed from our unique cultural norm and that is the reason why constitution makers made Article 371 A, a permanent one to remain in the constitution forever unlike other provisions which are there temporarily for 10-15 years and so on. Mr. Speaker Sir, the 2001 Municipal Act Amendment was done in 2006 in this Assembly. It was done because of the court order to the state Government to enact 33% reservation for women.

But to my mind, no court of law can enforce any Act of Parliament in the State of Nagaland under special provision of Article 371 A.” Speech of Dr. Shurhozele, Minister, (NPF) Minister of Urban Development in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly session on 20/03/12... “Sir, on this, I want to make some observation. The above statement of the NMA suffers from two fallacies.

The first fallacy is that 33% reservation for women in Panchayats as mandated in articles 243D of Part XI of the Indian Constitution, is inapplicable to Nagaland in view of the exception granted in Articles -243M which says that Part XI of the Constitution of India will not apply to Nagaland.

The second fallacy is the opinion of the NMA that article 371A is subject to other provision of the constitution of India and Nagaland Assembly, by invoking article 371A, cannot supersede other provision of the Constitution.

NMA should know that Article 371A starts with the non obstante phraseology.” “Notwithstanding in the constitution” including the 74ht Amendment Act, stand superseded. Whenever in a law, the words “Notwithstanding anything” are used, it means, it is a law capable of superseding other provision.

Therefore, article 371A is the supreme law that empowers Nagaland to be the Supreme Legislative Body in the state with capacity to supersede all Parliamentary laws including the constitutional Acts.

Even the Law Minister, Shri Asoke Sen, when article 371A was being enacted declared in Lok Sabha on the 28th August, 1962 that Nagaland Legislative Assembly has the unique Legislative Assembly powers of superseding the central laws.

It is surprising to note that the Naga Women, under the aegis of the NMA, in their bid to grab political power, develop such misconceived notions, like the Nagaland Legislative Assembly does not have powers to supersede Constitution Acts, which is really unfortunate. And it will be in the interest of Naga Women if their leaders do not cross the perimeter of the subject matter may invite more criticism.”

To my opinion, 2012 and 2016 aren’t that far.

The above speeches on the 20/03/2012 in the Assembly session of the then chairman who is now none other than the Chief Minister and one of the member who was then the

Minister in-charge of the department who is now none other than the chief of the NPF party and the cabinet decision of the 10th August 2016 at the official bungalow of the Chief Minister does not resemblance at all. Towering speeches as a member of the select committee, upon which the Naga people believed in and voted to power, because of the fact that the privileges’ accorded to the Nagas under 371A is beyond the reach any other states wherein overriding powers is inserted acknowledging the inherent and inalienable rights of the Nagas. Article 371 A is a constitution within a constitution of India. This provision supersedes all Acts of the parliament. This Article exist in all the sense of Supreme Court, for which even after nearly three decades of the case between Assam and Nagaland border, the case is lying in the Supreme Court which cannot be just disposed off, because of this very Article, an off shoot of 9 Point Agreement and 16th Point Agreement. People stood together with you in protecting and upholding our rights enshrined in the constitution like you mentioned in the assembly.

However, all of a sudden, cabinet in contravention of the Assembly Resolution rooting to go for elections to Urban Local Bodies is very much uncalled for, an attempt to demean our rights.

NEW DELHI, OCT 25 (PTI): Natural resources in forests should not be exploited at the cost of tribals living there, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said, favouring stringent action against those who “snatch” away their land and rights.

Inaugurating the first national tribal carnival at the Indira Gandhi Indoor stadium, Modi said his

government has initiated a number of measures for tribal welfare and launched a campaign for providing land rights to them.

Insisting that development and preservation of forests can go hand in hand, the Prime Minister called for economic development of tribal areas by setting up a web of over 100 rurban (rural-urban)

security men. MIP also asked Ibobi to go through video clippings while his helicopter was taking off and how shooting took place inside the hall. It also asked Ibobi not blame NSCN (I-M) for his failures as it was completely clean on this issue and had nothing to his staged managed ambush.

(From p-1) known that it had objected the NIT for the simple reason that “the tendering norms favoured the same syndicates who had been controlling the department for the last 15-20 years”.

Appreciating F&CS department for initiating the tendering process after a gap of almost two decades, ACAUT however pointed out that thousands of crores worth of PDS items like rice, wheat, levy sugar, SK Oil, etc., have not reached the intended beneficiaries in the districts because of the presence of syndicates.

“Even if the tendering system is an effort to streamline the department, the process is not only flawed, but most surprisingly, is designed to propagate the stranglehold of the syndicates further”, ACAUT stated.

LBES condemns AR’s forceful occupation DIMAPUR, OCT 25 (NPN): Lotha Baptist Ekhümkho Sanrhyutsü (LBES) has strongly condemned forceful occupation of Mekokla Baptist Church by 28 Assam Rifles for carrying out military operations.

LBES executive secretary, Rev. Nyanchumo Lotha in a press statement, said that on October 22, AR personnel forcefully occupied the church and guest house.

KBES said when the pastor tried to reason out with the Commander-inCharge, the Commander retorted that the area being within his jurisdic-

tion, he was at liberty to take any decision without anybody’s permission or in consultation with anybody.

Despite strong protest by the pastor and the Church officials, the 28 AR led by the Post Commander of Doyang Outpost “forcibly occupied” the church and guest house.

In this regard, LBES appealed to the district administration and police to take up the matter with the Indian Army so that such forceful occupation on any ‘place of worship’ could be averted.

BHUBANESWAR, OCT 25 (PTI): The Odisha government today put the collectors of 14 districts on high alert even though the IMD predicted that Cyclone Kyant is likely to move towards Andhra Pradesh coast.

The directions to collectors in coastal, northern and southern districts were issued by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik through video-conferencing while reviewing the preparedness.

IMD Director S C Sahoo, who attended the chief minister’s review meeting, said, “Cyclone Kyant is likely to move towards north Andhra Pradesh. However, the coastal region and adjacent districts may experience rainfall under its impact on October 27 and October 28.”

The deep depression created over east-central Bay of Bengal has moved west-northwestwards and intensified into a cyclonic storm, named as Kyant and lay centred about 710 km east-southeast of Gopalpur, a bulletin issued by the IMD said.

The system will move initially west-northwestwards and then west to west-southwestwards to-

centres across the country.

He also called for modernising mining techniques to help preserve forests and reduce pollution, while economically empowering the tribals through effective marketing of their produce.

“For generations, tribals are protecting forests and fending for themselves while farming on small pieces of land. Neither do they have any document nor lease deeds (to show their ownership), they are living off what their forefathers have given them.

But due to changing rules, tribals are now sometimes facing problems.

“Government of India with the support of states is running a campaign and providing land to them.

Tribals should get their rights and this is our priority. No one in this country should have the opportunity or the right to snatch their land...the government favours stern action in this regard,” he said.

New Delhi, Oct 25 (PTI): Gold prices bounced Rs 85 to Rs 30,500 per 10 grams today following uptick in festive and wedding season demand from jewellers and retailers at the domestic spot market amid signs of a strong global trend. Silver too rebounded Rs 100 to Rs 42,900 per kg on higher off-take by industrial units and coin makers. Bullion traders attributed the recovery in gold prices to the surge in demand as reflected in festive and wedding season sales, and firm global cues.

Globally, gold rose 0.15 per cent to USD 1,266.30 an ounce in Singapore. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity recovered by Rs 85 each to Rs 30,500 and Rs 30,350 per 10 grams, respectively.

The items which are very important, which are of use to a large cross-section of people and common man are pegged at 6 per cent, he said, adding that 6 per cent, 12 per cent, 18 per cent and a higher rate for demerit goods has been proposed.

Former finance minister P Chidambaram on Monday criticised the proposed multiple-rate GST structure as “disastrous”.

“We sincerely hope that we do not misinterpret the design of standard, standard minus and plus rates of GST. We can have 20 rates”.

“It will be disastrous and that cannot be GST, it will be fooling the country,” Chidambaram had said.

Emphasising that the bankruptcy law together with GST will bring in a lot of dynamism into Indian economy, Das said the government is determined to implement GST from April 1, 2017.

NEW DELHI, Oct 25 (PTI): Asserting that the government is determined to implement GST from the next fiscal, Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das on Tuesday expressed confidence that the revenue neutral rate structure will be decided the next month.

“The rate structure on which there is a lot of discussion going on at the moment with the GST Council and also in the public domain... will get resolved in the next meeting of GST Council in the first week of November. Maybe, one or two sittings, it should come to a conclusion,” Das said at an Assocham event here. Dismissing criticisms, he said the rate structure has been prepared based on “a very practical basis”.

“The rate has to be necessarily revenue neutral. You cannot have a rate structure where governments run into huge deficit... Therefore, GST rates are worked out in such a manner that bulk of commodities are under the

was removed last evening as Chairman of Tata Sons, the main holding firm of over USD 100-billion conglomerate, while his predecessor Ratan Tata was recalled as an Interim Chairman.

“They (Tatas) have pleaded to be heard before the court passes any interim order like stay on Mistry’s sacking,” a source said.

Earlier there was confusion over reports that Mistry had filed caveats, which was denied by his office.

A statement from Mistry’s office said, “A caveat is a notice filed by a party fearing legal action seeking notice before action.

Tatas have filed caveats seeking notice from Cyrus Mistry fearing legal action.

Cyrus has not filed any caveats. He has already made a statement that such concerns are misplaced at this stage.”

Mumbai, Oct 25 (PTI): In a highly volatile trade, the rupee maintained its edge against the American currency for the second day today and appreciated by a modest 3 paise to close at 66.82.

Trading has been thin and confined to extremely narrow range in the absence of any market moving factors even as resurgent dollar remained in spotlight on the currency market. Sluggish domestic equities and persistent capital outflows largely pressurised the Indian unit, a forex dealer said.

The home currency opened substantially lower at 66.93 from Monday’s closing level of 66.85 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market as sustained dollar demand from importers fairly weighed on trade.

However, some dollar selling by corporates and bank predominantly helped the rupee to recover towards the tail-end trade to settle at 66.82, revealing a gain of 3 paise, or 0.04 %.

view that under GST, there will be national single tax rate on each product and “that is where the big gains are”.

He added: “A lot of people think that they have identified single tax rate across commodities. But the bigger part is single tax rate on every product across entire country. There is no tax theorem that two rates are better than four.”

He further said, “If you do a single rate (16 or 18 per cent) then some of rates you will have to bring very far off.

Obviously, then there will be inflation on those particular commodities (with lower rates of tax).

There are products which have 3 per cent rate of tax.

Those if you take all the way to 16 or 18 per cent then there will be inflation implications.”

Mumbai/New Delhi, Oct 25 (PTI): The boardroom battle at Tata group today appeared heading for a legal tussle with Tatas filing caveats in the Supreme Court, Bombay High Court and the National Company Law Tribunal against Cyrus Mistry moving for relief against his ouster as Chairman.

In a bid to prevent Mistry from getting any ex-parte relief from any legal forum, Tata Sons and a Tata Trust, among others, filed the caveats that they should be heard before grant of any relief to the ousted Chairman.

The petitions included one by Ratan Tata and others against Mistry.

Soon after his removal last evening, sources had said Mistry may challenge the decision by Tata Sons’ board to replace him with Ratan Tata.

and demerit goods.

There is ongoing debate whether GST, which is to be rolled out from April 1 next year, should be a single rate regime or should it have multiple rates.

Earlier in the day, former finance minister P Chidambaram said the proposed multiple rate GST structure will be “disastrous” and nothing more than same old VAT rates in a “new shape”.

“We sincerely hope that we do not misinterpret the design of standard, standard minus and plus rates of GST. We can have 20 rates. It will be disastrous and that cannot be GST, it will be fooling the country,” Chidambaram told an interactive session with IIM Calcutta students on economic reforms.

Explaining the rationale behind the proposed four rates under GST, he said: “...big gains from GST will be because of having a single rate across any given product geographically.”

The United States, he said, should not treat the Philippines “like a dog with a leash”, adding to confusion about the future the longtime allies’ ties.

LONDON, Oct 25 (AP): Britain’s government gave the go-ahead on Tuesday to build a new runway at London’s Heathrow airportdespite concerns about air pollution, noise and the destruction of homes in the capital’s densely populated western neighborhoods.

The Department for Transport said the decision underlined its commitment to keeping the UK “open for business.” Theresa May’s government rejected other options to expand airport capacity, including the extension of an existing runway at Heathrow or building a second runway at Gatwick Airport, south of London.

“The step that government is taking today is truly momentous,” Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said. “I am proud that after years of discussion and delay this government is taking decisive action to secure the UK’s place in the global

Demonstrators hold placards as they protest outside the Palace of Westminster against the decision to be announced on the building of a third runway at London’ Heathrow Airport on Tuesday.

aviation market.”

The decision is only the first step, though. The government’s recommendation will be studied further and a decision on the exact location of the new runway will be the subject of consultation. Parliament will vote in about a year.

Anti-expansion groups gathered in the village of H a r m o n d swo r t h , n e a r Heathrow and in Crawley, near Gatwick, to await the news. Neil Keveran has campaigned against Heathrow expansion for years and plans to fight on - even if the government goes for the

Moscow denies air strikes on Aleppo M O S C OW / B E IRU T, OCT 25 (Agencies): Russia said on Tuesday Russian and Syrian military planes had not launched air strikes on Aleppo since Moscow said it was suspending bombing seven days ago, contradicting a monitor who says air strikes on some areas resumed on Saturday.

Defence ministry spokesperson Major-General Igor Konashenkov said Russian and Syrian planes had not even approached, let alone bombed, the devastated city since last Tuesday when Russia suspended air strikes ahead of a pause in hostilities.

“Flights over Aleppo by the Russian and Syrian air forces have been completely halted for the last seven days,” said Konashenkov in a statement.

He said six humani-

tarian corridors in eastern Aleppo, which opened as the 48-hour ceasefire began on Thursday, were still operating. Around 50 women and children had left the city late on Monday escorted by Russian military officers, Konashenkov said.

But the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said air strikes had resumed since the lull in fighting

ended on Saturday, hitting a major frontline in the city’s southwest. No deaths occurred inside residential eastern Aleppo, the monitor said, indicating there had been no air strikes in the area.

On Tuesday, districts outside the city to the west of Aleppo were hit by air strikes, the Observatory said. Air strikes had continued outside Aleppo during

the ceasefire.

Aleppo, Syria’s most populous city before the war, is now divided into government and rebel-held areas. Intense bombardment by Syrian and Russian warplanes has reduced the rebel-held east of the city to ruins.

Russia has accused rebels of thwarting its efforts to evacuate civilians, saying they opened fire on those wanting to leave, but rebel groups say Syrian government forces and allies had been shelling and sniping around the corridors.

Rebels did not accept the ceasefire, which they said did nothing to alleviate the situation of those who chose to remain in eastern Aleppo, and was part of a government policy to purge cities of political opponents.

third runway.

“A monopoly at Heathrow will serve nobody,” he said.

“It won’t be good for passengers, it won’t be good for other regional airports. I don’t believe the runway will be delivered. I think legal challenges, and if necessary direct action, will prevent the growth of Heathrow.”

London and southeastern England need more airport capacity to meet the growing demands of business travelers and tourists.

Heathrow and rival Gatwick, 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of central London, had offered competing projects that will cost as much as 18.6 billion pounds ($29.1 billion).

With the building of a new runway at Heathrow, homes will be destroyed and surviving neighborhoods will have to cope with increased noise, pollution and traffic.

Four dead after Australia theme park accident SYDNEY, Oct 25 (AFP): Four people were killed in an accident at a theme park on Australia’s popular Gold Coast on Tuesday, police said, with witnesses describing how “everyone was screaming” after a raft apparently flipped on a waterbased ride.

The Dreamworld theme park, which has over 40 rides and attractions, said at least three people died, but police said four were dead.

“Four adults have been confirmed as being deceased,” Queensland Police said in a statement, adding the incident involved a conveyor belt.

rince’s home will remain forever in his life. The musician’s iconic recording studio will officially become a museum after a unanimous vote by the Chanhassen City Council Monday night, according to the Chanhassen Villager.

Prince’s Paisley Park estate was opened for tours earlier in October, five months after his death.

The museum was open from Oct. 6 through 23 on a temporary permit, but is now expected to be open weekly from Thursday to Sunday. Paisley Park has been kept intact since the “When Doves Cry” singer

died of an opioid overdose in April, including Studio A, the Purple Rain Room and the NPG Music Club.

“Since its opening in 1985, Paisley Park has been not only Prince’s home, but the center of Prince’s creative endeavours. We continue to be moved by the endless number of fans from around the world who come to Paisley Park to stand outside and pay their respects to our brother,” siblings Omarr Baker; Alfred and Sharon Jackson; and Norrine, John and Tyka Nelson said.

“The new Paisley Park museum will offer fans a unique experience, an exhibition like no other, as

rammy award winner Justin Bieber stor med off the stage during a performance here after being booed by the crowd. The 22-year-old singer was booed by the concert-goers as he spoke to them between songs.

The audience wanted him to get on with his singing, so the ‘Baby’ hitmaker dropped his microphone and walked off the stage on Sunday. However, he soon returned and said: “Manc can’t handle the talking so I won’t talk.”

“The reason why I was getting upset earlier was because I travelled across

the whole world to come here and I dedicate my life to performing and bring smiles to people’s faces,” Bieber said.

“I feel that people were just not giving me the same respect back and it hurts a little bit so that’s why.

But we’re gonna end it on this last song... ‘Baby’,” he added.

M U M B A I , O ct 2 5 (Agencies): Offering a ‘sincere apology’ to all potential bidders and stakeholders ‘who have put in efforts to put together bids and travelled from across the country and the world to participate in the tendering,’ the BCCI said late on Monday evening that it would not be possible for them to go ahead with IPL media rights bid process which was scheduled for Tuesday.

In doing so, the BCCI put the ball in the court of the Justice RM Lodha Committee and said: “ At the time of going to press, BCCI has not received any further directions from the Committee, which is now the custodian of the entire (bidding) process and has been tasked with the duty to ensure that the tender process is undertaken in a professional and transparent manner with least inconvenience to all stakeholders.”

In a long official statement, the Board clearly suggested that it now believed the onus of tendering the IPL media rights for the next rights period would now lie on the Lodha Committee and not the Board. “Once BCCI receives a response from the Committee, it shall bring the same to notice of all stakeholders as the BCCI is currently not in a position to take any decision in the matter other than what the Committee recommends,” the BCCI said. The statement brought an end to the 72-hour drama that had played out between the Board, the Committee and the bidders. Even before the BCCI had decided to make it official, Star TV, the broadcast rights holder for Indian cricket, had communicated to them that they would not be participating in the tender process until there was complete clarity on the matter.

The Minister said that for realising the full potential of sports, it is essential that we take effective steps to promote it in educational institutions without any further delay.

Goel emphasised that every educational institution should have access to a playfield and basic sports facilities. Such institutions which do not have these facilities should tie up with neighbouring institutions.

ATK were coming off a win against Delhi Dynamos and were playing their second consecutive home game. ATK coach Jose Molina drafted in Stephen Pearson, Abinash Ruidas, Arnab Mondal, Javi Lara and Robert Lalthlamuana into the squad.

Mumbai FC suffered

a shock defeat against FC Goa in their last game and made several changes with Anwar Ali, Sehnaj Singh, Cafu, Gerson and Albino Gomes coming into the side. Influential striker Matias Defederico, Pronay Haldar and Leo Costa were all missing due to niggles.

In a packed Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, it was the away side that unlocked the Kolkata defence in the eighth minute.

Sony Norde down the left flank. The Haitian chested the ball well but his left footed effort missed the goal by a whisker.

With Cafu and Forlan controlling the match, Atletico were left frustrated with striker Sameehg Doutie kept in check by Sena Ralte.

In the 25th minute, ATK midfielder Javi Lara was awarded a free-kick from about 25 yards but he failed to hit the target.

In the 33rd minute, Mumbai defender Sena Ralte made a bucaneering run and sent in a good ball into the box, which fell to Norde who was lurking just inside the box. But Norde’s effort though was tipped over by ATK goalkeeper Debjit Majumder.

Both sides went into the break goalless.

Much against the run of play, the visitors took the lead in the 79th minute when Forlan struck the ball into the roof of the net after Norde did well to set him up from inside the box albeit off a deflection.

Debjit was at fault as he could have done better with his tame effort to block the ball.

In the dying minutes of the match, Lara got a free-kick from the edge of the box but Mumbai goalkeeper Albino Gomes parried his effort away.

Svetlana Kuznetsova beat Radwanska in WTA Finals Singapore, Oct 25 (Agencies): Svetlana Kuznetsova opened her WTA Finals account in bizarre fashion with a threeset win over Agnieszka Radwanska in Singapore.

Ku z n e t s ova , w h o qualified for the seasonending tournament by retaining her Kremlin Cup crown on Saturday, beat the Pole 7-5 1-6 7-5 in a stamina-sapping match, but it was her behaviour in the deciding set that stole the show.

She had str uggled badly in the second set at the second-ranked Radwanska levelled the match, and spectators watched in stunned silence early in the decider when she pulled a pair of scissors out of her bag and started to chop off the end of her ponytail.

Kuznetsova threw the loose strands of hair on to her seat and proceeded to play a couple of games before coming off court, bursting into tears and sobbing into her towel, appearing to be on the verge of exhaustion.

“It was bothering me a lot. I was trying to put it behind my headband but my hair is very thick and

“Every time when I was hitting good forehands and coming forward, it would hit my eye and I struggled. So I thought ‘Okay, what’s more important now, my hair which I can let grow or the match?

Okay, I got to go for it right now’ and that’s it. I was just trying to give myself the best chance and remove what was bothering me. At the time, I don’t even know how much I cut there.”

Somehow she managed to regain her composure but Radwanska broke her serve in the ninth game to lead 5-4 and served for the match, wasting a match point before being
