The message said, “I extend my best wishes as you celebrate all the blessings of the goddess with your friends, family, acquaintances and loved ones on this Durga Puja.” He prayed that the festivals of Durga Puja and Dussehra be celebrated in the true spirit of peace, joy and brotherhood.

MON, OCT 7 (NPN): While the phase wise agitation called

by Eastern Nagaland College Students’ Union (ENCSU) over MBBS seat allocation continues to affect normal functioning of government offices in the four districts of Eastern Nagaland- Mon, Tuensang, Longleng and Kiphire, the state government has so far failed to give any positive response.

In Mon, ENCSU and Konyak Students’ Union (KSU) on Friday intensified agitation by shutting/locking all government offices under its jurisdiction. No untoward incidents were reported till this report was filed. However, ENCSU has temporarily suspended

the agitation in view of the closure of government offices on account of Durga Puja, “till the call for further phase of agitation is announced”.

ENCSU has been demanding allocation of four MBBS seats to backward tribe (BT) candidates. The student bodies picketed government offices after state government failed to intervene even after two days of agitation (disallowing government vehicles to ply in Eastern Nagaland).

Volunteers in Mon picketed and locked all government offices by putting up placards in the main entrance of the offices, some of which read “justice delayed is justice denied”, “locked untill justice is delivered” etc. District administration, security forces, emergency services and medical team were exempted from the purview of the agitation. A seminar on RTI, which was scheduled at DC’s Mon office on Friday, had to be postponed.

Meanwhile, ENCSU informed that the agitation in the form of seizing government vehicles and locking down of government offices in the four districts was likely to continue till government respond.

On the first day of the three-phase agitations, volunteers from Mon confiscated 12 vehicles and one motorcycle belonging to various government departments. As of now, the union has seized 22 government vehicles. According to ENCSU officials, the vehicles would be released only after state government fulfilled the demand. ENCSU also threatened to enforce blanket bandh in the four districts if they failed to get positive response from the government.

ENPO appeals to govt

DIMAPUR, OCT 7 (NPN): Taking serious note of the issue, Eastern Nagaland Peoples Organisation (ENPO) has fervently appealed to the state

government to immediately intervene and resolve the matter without further delay. A statement from ENPO president Khoiwang Konyak and general secretary Manlang Phom, reminded that the demands made by the aggrieved students were legitimate. ENPO alleged that the government policies on the issue appeared “to be flawed denying, overlooking and abusing the rights of the students”.

It demanded that the student community of the six tribes-- Chang, Khiamniungan, Konyak, Phom, Sangtam and Yimchunger be given the due share to participate as professionals in the governing system of the state and for the welfare of public. “It is only fair to mention that the denial of the aspiring and rightful students must be redressed and availed thereof,” ENPO stated. ENPO also cautioned the establishment and state government not to mishandle the issue in the larger interest of all concerned.

PWD (NH) dismisses NCSU charges NTC hits out at govt. on DIMAPUR, OCT 7 (NPN): The Public Works Department (PWD), National Highway, has issued a clarification to the allegations leveled against the Maytas-Gayatri (JV) by the Nagaland Contractors’ and Suppliers Union (NCSU), which was published in local media on October 7, 2016.

In a press release, commissioner & secretary, works & housing, I. Himato Zhimomi dismissed the NCSU allegation that JV abandoned the two lane projects under SARDP-Phase-I after carrying out formation cutting. He said the JV had to suspend the works as the revised estimates were not approved by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). Subsequently following a PIL, commissioner & secretary said the Gauhati High Court directed MoRTH to reconsider the revised estimates and appointed a Court Commissioner to oversee the completion of works. Consequently, he said the MoRTH filed a review petition in the Gauhati High Court, which was dismissed.

According to commissioner & secretary, the ministry has now filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court and the matter was listed to be heard at the earliest. He said SARDP phase-I works was therefore expected to recommence as soon as the matter

was dispensed by the Supreme Court and once the Revised Estimates were approved by the MoRTH. “There is therefore no question of abandoning of the SAR DP-Phase 1 roads in Nagaland by the JV,” Himato said.

On NCSU allegation that the JV “managed to eyewash” the MoRTH in winning the four lane project of NH-29, the commissioner & secretary said Gayatri won the national tender floated by NHIDCL for 15km stretch of the road. He said there was no issue of any ‘eyewash’ by the company as they qualified technically and financially for the aforementioned road through open bidding basis.

In view of the above, the PWD (NH) has appealed to the NCSU to refrain from “unfounded charges” and to also desist from making “indirect intimidations to the company.” The department stated that long-awaited four lane NH 29 would be the lifeline for the Naga people and would act as the most important link of Government of India’s Act East Policy.

Commissioner & secretary said it was therefore important that all sections of the society understand the significance of this road and provide full cooperation to this national project so the companies were able to complete the works on time without any interference.

fuel adulteration issue

DIMAPUR, OCT 7 (NPN): In a sharp attack on the state government, the Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) on Friday accused the latter of becoming “the major partner in exploiting the gullible public by depriving its due share of benefits from the Public Distribution System (PDS) and posing harm to public out of fuel adulteration” .

In a press note, NTC media cell lauded the ACAUT detecting and “busting the illegal operations in the State through its consistent activism and vigilance over anti-people activities promoted by State Govt.”

It said Nagaland was badly plagued by corruptions at all levels and the accountability and transparency in the governance in the State was a matter of the past. “It is a matter of shame for how much we, the Naga Christians, do blackmail the name of Jesus Christ in our double standard dealings,” NTC stated.

One of the most destructive businesses is the nefarious nexus between the people in power and the ruffians who have converted public distribution system to a mere money minting industry, it said. Taking note of these, NTC said it had resolved on October 4, during its executive meeting held at de Oriental dream Hotel, Dimapur to extend all possible cooperation and support to the Co-ordination Committee on Fuel Adulteration (CCoFA) and its decision to take the issue to the public (Cont’d on p-7) domain.

KOHIMA, OCT 7 (NPN): Decks have been cleared to hold municipal council and town council polls in Nagaland, after the state government issued a notification through the Municipal Affairs Department (MAD) signalling that polls would be held as per the schedule to be notified by the State Election Commission, Nagaland.

According to DIPR, the MAD issued the notification in exercise of powers conferred with the state government under section 25(1) of the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001.

Reservation of seats for women would be effected in the polls in accordance with Section 23A(1) the Nagaland Municipal Act 2001 and details of the quota would be notified in due course of time added DIPR. The Nagaland Assembly passed the Nagaland Municipal (First Amendment) Act in 2006 which provided for 33% reservation of seats for women. However, the state government did not hold elections due to opposition from tribal hohos(males) who maintained the state was exempted from laws that do not conform with Article 371A. NMA filed a writ petition challenging the state government’s refusal to hold municipal elections was filed before the Kohima Bench of the Gauhati High Court on June 26, 2011. In October 2011, the court, presided by a single judge, upheld the petition and directed the government to hold the elections to municipal councils and town councils on or before January 20, 2012.

However, the state government filed an appeal before a division bench of the Gauhati High Court. The previous ruling was stayed.

According to some lawyers, the SLP filed by the women (JAWCR) in the Su-

preme Court has been made infructuous by the state government itself when it issued notification for polls. The apex court had granted the SLP and also stayed the Gauhati High Court order of the Division Bench which stayed the October 2011 order of the Single judge bench.

The petitioners (JACWR) then moved a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court in September 2012 and finally got a ruling on April 20 this year. The Supreme Court upheld the single-judge ruling of the Gauhati High Court of October 2011.

Women ready for polls

Nagaland Post contacted various women organisations to solicit their views and line of action with regard to their participation in the polls.

Angamiapfu Mechu Krotho (AMK) president Ruokuoheü Miachieo said there are women candidates prepared to contest in five or six of the 19 wards under Kohima Municipal Council.

Ao women, rather than the Ao Watsu Mungdang (Ao women organisation) are also preparing to contest in at least five to six wards out of 15 wards under Mokokchung Town. Lotha Eloe Hoho president Mhonchumi Humtsoe said that though specific candidates were not identified yet women were prepared to contest in five out of the 15 wards under Wokha Town with the support of Lotha Hoho.

Sumi Totimi Hoho (STH) president said they were also ready for the election and women woukld contest in seats that will be reserved as per the 33% women reservation.

Eastern Nagaland Women Organization (ENWO) comprising of six women tribal organizations- Konyak Nyupuh Sheko Khong (KNSK), Yimchunger Women organization (YWO), Khiamniungan Women Organization, Chang

Women Organization (CWO) Phom Women Organization and Sangtam Women Organization (SWO) – are also prepared to contest in civic bodies where seats will be reserved for women candidates, with the support of ENPO, ENGOA and ENSF. ENWO president Birila Tokiu said that for Mon town, Shamator, Kiphiri and Longleng town, three wards each would come under the 33% quota out of 11 wards. In Tuensang four wards out of 16 are to be reserved for women.

Birila said in Noklak, three wards out of 9 wards were reserved for women and process for screening candidates would be done as soon as the poll schedule is announced.

Naga Women Hoho Dimapur president Hukheli T. Wotsa said the election with women reservation would be held for the first time and NWHD was in the process of screening suitable women candidates (for 7 of the 23 wards under DMC).

Rengma Mothers Association (RMA) president Kelesha Kath said three out of nine wards will be reserved for women and for which RMA will convene a meeting to begin the process for selection.

Pochury Mothers Association (PMA) president Machu Joshu expressed confidence that it will be able to choose three women candidates out of 9 wards and along with the support of the Pochury Hoho.

LM&CP deptt inspects sealed petrol pump in Mkg Correspondent

M O KO KC H U N G, O C T 7 (NPN): A petrol pump at Mokokchung town, which was sealed by the district administration and police on Thursday after the Ongpangkong Kaketshir Mungdang (OKM) complained of faulty meter reading, was unsealed on Friday, under the supervision of EAC Daniel, to allow inspection by the department of Legal Metrology & Consumer Protection (LM&CP).

On inspection, the department officials found that the seal in one (out of four fuel dispensers) of the machines had been allegedly tempered.

Speaking to the media persons, assistant controller, Meyimeren, stated that it was the duty of the LM&CP department to seal each of the fuel machine (in the metering unit and pulsar assembly) and that it was the responsibility of the management to inform whenever there was a breakdown of the machines.

Unfortunately, he said the department was not informed

of the damage and repair of the machine (the tampered machine). Assistant controller pointed out that the damaged and repaired fuel machine was one of the oldest and should have been replaced earlier.

Following the findings of LM&CP department, EAC Daniel assured OKM that the findings would be submitted to DC Mokokchung, who would

then direct the competent authority to address the issue at the earliest.

Meanwhile, OKM president, R. Sunep Pongen, demanded that whoever tampered the machine be arrested.

OKM also demanded that the faulty and old machines (two of the four) be replaced and seal the petrol pump till the matter was solved.

ACAUT: Meanwhile, ACAUT in a press note while urging the authorities to probe deeper, alleged that the fuel outlet, based on the complaints, was also selling adulterated fuel. While terming it as an insult to the authorities and public of Nagaland, ACAUT said despite the recent exposure and crackdown on fuel adulteration in Dimapur, the fuel outlet had the audacity to carry on with such illegal activities.

ACAUT has requested the authorities to book and take “stringent action against the actual owner of the outlet-- RBC & Sons, after observing all the formalities”. ACAUT cautioned the authorities against sending the samples only to Guwahati, saying the same should also be sent to other accredited labs as a precautionary measure and to summon IOC officials to inspect the site and verify. It has also appealed SIT on fuel adulteration to expand its scope of investigation beyond Dimapur and to probe fuel outlets in Zunheboto and Tuensang, where is said the worst quality fuel was openly sold.

workers have accomplished a major task by meticulously documenting their findings in the monographs.

Temsula said it was just the beginning and should convert the enquiry into reality for Naga women to follow the directions advocated in the document and help the young visionaries of NEN in covering as many villages as possible in the near future.

She challenged the members to convince the whole state that without the active participation of women, either

Executive director NEN Dr. Monisha Behal in her address said there was discrimination against women in Nagaland as per the study and research by the network and it often happen due to lack of institutional support.

She reminded that the constitution of India gives equal rights to all and the

government should extend support. Monisha opined that women giving opportunity in the election to represent people would provide better governance as women know the ground reality problem face by the people.

Programme associate NEN Hraveine David in her presentation on “enquiry into the status of women in Nagaland” gave detailed report about the rationale, gender base discrimination, violence against women (VAW), scope of the study, objectives, analytical framework, key finding of the study and others.

Gender redistributive measures to mainstream care work irrespective of gender, family counseling centres to be set up even in rural areas and needed of inclusion of women’s participation in public and political affairs through strategic gender inclusive policy and professional mandates for community based institutions and the Government stakeholders, the State must ensure the effective implementation of pro-women laws such as that of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, to enable aggrieved women to access justice and support services must be provided for women who are the victims of violence.

SDO sadar (judicial) Neilozo Tep in his address said many domestic violence go unexposed or reported in Nagaland due to social issue. He said there was lack of dedicated and sincere NGOs to study intensively for women issues.

Programme manager NEN Wekoweu Tsuhah proposed vote of thanks. The programme was attended by various women organization from different districts.

He encouraged the students to aspire to stand on their feet and not depend on the government for jobs.

The chief guest was also lamented the attitude of government employees in the state saying there were people who have never seen their place

He said that the government was always blamed for insincerity of employees and teachers and urged the children to be sincere in everything they do.

Eshak noted that the purpose of education was lost if no matter how educated a person is if the person lacks patience, tolerance and sincerity.

End chaotic situation in MU: MUTA

Teaching and non teaching staff of Manipur University staging urging to resolve choatic in the varsity on Friday.

Correspondent IMPHAL, Oct 7: The teaching and non-teaching staff of Manipur University under the initiative of Manipur University Teachers Association (MUTA) Friday staged a sit-in-dharna demanding restoration of normalcy in the varsity.

The university has been reeling under various crisis and the authority are yet to commence its academic session for the current year due to controversy that surfaced after the authority decided to switch the reservation policy of the University Grand Commission (UGC).

While some section of the students are demanding early commencement of the academic session, others particularly tribal students are protesting against adopting UGC’s reservation policy.

Amidst the chaotic situation, recreation hall of the university along with four other facilities storing research papers for many students were reduced to ashes by an arson on the night of October 3.

Following the incident coupled with chaotic situation prevailing in the varsity, vicechancellor M Dhaneshwar had tendered his resignation the next day.

Various placards “Make

Manipur University a Violence Free Zone”, “We Condemn Violence”, “Honour the Sanctity of University” among others were displayed at the sit-in.

MUTA president Prof S Jibonkumar termed the arson as unfortunate incident and urged to resolve all issues in the university through dialogue. Violence will not bring solution to any problem, he added.

The violent activities being witnessed inside the university complex in the past few days were not a thing expected by the people from such high educational institution, said the president.

Many research materials of students have been reduced to ashes. The hard earned knowledge of the students for project works had been destroyed and the impasse in the university would only make the final semester students of the university suffer, he added.

Jibonkumar added that the admission of the academic session could not begin till date due to differences of opinion on reservation policy for admission.

In the meantime, Akhil Bharatiya Vidarthi Parishad (ABVP), Manipur today joined voices demanding reopening of Manipur University which has remained shut after the October 3 arson incident and resignation by the VC-in-charge on the following day.

The student wing of the BJP insisted that Union human resource minister must intervene immediately to bring an end to the prevailing chaotic situation.

Addressing a news conference at Manipur Press Club Imphal, ABVP state secretary Narendra Sapam said “The decision to shut down the University totally should be revoked immediately.”

Normal classes and other activities should resume immediately, he demanded, asserting that shutting down of the varsity was not the solution to the prevailing issues.

GNLA’s 2nd in command surrenders Williamnagar, Oct 7: The Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), suffered a heavy setback to the leadership of the deadliest terrorist outfit in Meghalaya after the number 2 man surrendered to government authorities on Friday. Zen Robert Ch. Marak alias Rupanto Marak, the deputy commander-inchief of the GNLA along with his aide Armindo B. Marak alias Rangdat, surrendered before Davies Marak, police chief of East Garo Hills district, in the wake of the ongoing combing operation. “It is a heavy setback for the GNLA leadership (Sohan D.Shira). We are expecting more of them to surrender,” Marak said. Interestingly, the surrendered terrorists deposited one 9mm pistol with nine live rounds of ammunition besides mobile handsets. “Rupanto had told us that he decided to give up the GNLA due to the growing dictatorial attitude of Sohan towards the cadres besides the unwanted killings,” Marak quoting the surrendered terrorist leader, said. However, the police officer said that both the terrorists came overground in the wake of the intensified combing operation launched by the Meghalaya police in Garo Hills against the outfit. “They have been under intense pressure and the only option for them was to surrender to us. Therefore, we are hopeful that more of them will follow suit,” Marak said. The GNLA, which claims to be fighting for a separate ‘Garoland’ in western Meghalaya, is headed by police officer-turned-rebel Champion R. Sangma, who is lodged in the Shillong jail after being arrested from near the India-Bangladesh border in 2012. It has forged an alliance with the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent.

Diphu, Oct 7: The Hills State Demand Council (HSDC) has Friday voiced against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016. If the bill is passed in the Parliament, it would pave way for large scale influx to Assam particularly into Karbi Anglong where the place is already over populated. According to latest census, there are 9,65,280 people in an area of 10,432 square kilometer. Compounded problems have jeopardized the existence of indigenous hills tribals like Karbis, Dimasas, Kukis, Rengmas, Hmars etc, said Daniel Teron, member of media cell HSDC in a press communiqué. “The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 initiated by the Narendra Modi led

BJP government is against the spirit and concept of secular character as enshrined in the Preamble to the constitution,” the HSDC statement stated.

The regional Party also added that the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 would also contradict the Assam Accord. The Accord accepts 1971 as the cut year for the detention and deportation of foreigners but the present bill is going to grant citizenships to foreigners who came even after 1971, it alleged

New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI): Demanding a “peace bonus”, Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling today appealed to the Centre to undertake more development initiatives in the Northeast, saying his state is yet to be connected by air and rail networks and condition of roads are pathetic.

Chamling sought “peace bonus” from the central government for remaining the most peaceful state in the country.

“There is no insurgency, no militancy, no violence in

Sikkim. Our state is the most peaceful in the country. We should be given a peace bonus by the Central government,” he told reporters here.

In 2000, the Central government had given a “peace bonus” of Rs 182.45 crore to Mizoram for being the most peaceful state in the Northeast after decades of insurgency.

The Chief Minister said construction of an airport in Sikkim has been going on for years while no progress has been made in implementing

the plans for connecting the Himalayan state with trains. “Our only lifeline is road. But condition of roads are very pathetic.

We urge the Central government to take more development initiatives in Sikkim as well as other Northeastern states,” he said. The Chief Minister said Sikkim has tremendous potential to be the “Switzerland of India” and a “Ram Rajya” as it is blessed with tremendous beauty and natural resources but it needs help from the Central government.

million”. He said if the other northeastern states of India were as open to trade with Bangladesh as Tripura, there would be a “tremendous scope” for business in the region.

With Bangladesh engaging in mega projects, the neighbouring country requires huge amount of construction materials, industrial chemicals and fuel like natural gas, which could be easily imported from the northeastern region following improvement of connectivity, he said. Similarly, the land-locked northeast region of India can have the shortest sea route through Chittagong port via the Brahmaputra, Barak and Karnaphuli after completion of the mega port projects being undertaken by Bangladesh, he said.

Islam said Bangladesh has trade links to Tripura, Assam and Meghalaya, but Dhaka wants “better connectivity” which will facilitate business ties with other northeastern states, including Mizoram.

“Our Prime Minister wants maximum connectivity with our neighbours so that trade can benefit all countries concerned,” he said.

Connectivity through waterways to the region, he said, would boost trade of both the countries. Describing bilateral trade as “extremely imbalanced”, Islam said trade volume worth around USD 7.5 billion was “hugely in favour of India, Bangladesh exports to India was around USD 900

States must focus on power for all

Vadoda r a , O c t 7 (Agencies): Setting a precedent, the Union ministry of power has urged states to do away with demarcations in rural electrification program and focus on power for all.

According to Business Standard, to facilitate the same, Piyush Goyal, minister of state for coal, power, new & renewable energy and mines said the states are now open to use any data to mark the households and provide electricity.

Speaking on the sidelines of the State Ministers’ Conference in Vadodara, Gujarat, Goyal said, “We have asked states to use funds allotted under Rural Electrification programs for providing electricity to all rural households.

And if more money is needed, Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) would provide soft loans.” He said REC would give long-term loans at lowinterest rates. “The idea is to give connection to all rural households and recover costs in next 10 years,” said Goyal.

He added that most states have agreed to the proposition and the centre would look into the legalities.

“We have urged the states to look beyond definitions of APL and BPL and aim at power for all. Our sole commit-

Kejriwal defends Modi against Congress attack New Delhi, Oct 7 (Agencies): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday condemned Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s comment that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing politics over the blood of jawans, who sacrificed their lives for Kashmir. According to ANI, Kejriwal said words like ‘dalali’ is derogatory and painful and should not have been used by Gandhi. “I strongly condemn what Rahul Gandhi said about our jawans, this is a matter in which we all need to stand united,” said Kejriwal.

Gandhi, who had accused Modi of hiding behind the blood of soldiers and doing “dalali,” (cashing in) on their sacrifice, earlier today again insisted that he supports the surgical strikes but will not support the use of Indian Army in political posters and propaganda. “I fully support the surgical strikes and I have said so unequivocally, but I will not support using the Indian Army in political posters and propaganda all across the country,” said the Rahul in a series of tweets.

Piyush Goyal ment is to give 24*7 power. The definition of Rural Electrification can’t be changed but the aim would be to electrify 100% households by March 2019,” said Goyal.

The ‘Rural Electrification’ policy in 2006 cites a village would be classified as electrified if the basic infrastructure such as distribution transformer and distribution lines are in place.

“Electricity is provided in the inhabited locality as well as a minimum of one Dalit basti/ hamlet where it exists; and to public places like Schools, Panchayat Office, Health Centres, Dispensaries, and Community Centres etc.

The number of households electrified is at least 10 per cent of the total number of house-

holds in the village,” said the Section 5.1 of the policy.

Of the 6 lakh villages which are claimed to be electrified, more than half are yet to be ‘intensively electrified.’

It means electricity infrastructure is accessible to all in that village/district. It includes all the majra, tola, APL and BPL type of households that fall in the territory of that village.

Close to 1.5 crore households are without any metered connection, as per government estimates.

IANS Adds: Declaring that it doesn’t aim to give out dole to states, the central government exhorted state power departments to become more efficient and transparent to achieve the goal of supplying affordable electricity.

“We are not here to give out dole to states... rather the Union Government encourages states to become efficient in their functioning, more transparent and self-reforming so as to work for the wider interests of the society and achieve the goal of 24x7 Affordable Power for All,” Piyush Goyal said inaugurating a conference here of Power Ministers of states and union territories (UTs).

“I am greatly satisfied with the encouraging response from the states,” Goyal said in

this regard, also drawing attention to the response of the states to the Centre’s UDAY debt restructuring scheme for state distribution companies (discoms). Issues such as implementation of Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana (UDAY), National Electricity Plan, open access, compliance of renewable purchase obligation (RPO) by the states, policy interventions for hydro development, and import substitution of coal, among others, are expected to be discussed at the two-day conference here.

Twenty Indian states and one UT have given in-principle approval for UDAY and 16 have already signed up for the scheme. The conference is being organised as part of the Switch Global Expo here organised by the Gujarat government.

In the area of renewable energy, state-wise review will be taken on issues regarding solar power, wind power as well as the compliance of Renewable Purchase Obligations and Renewable Energy Certificates, the statement said. In the coal sector, deliberations will focus upon issues like import substitution of coal, and flexibility in utilisation of coal, among other outstanding issues of coal companies, it added.

NGOs, journalists to assess govt depts’ transparency New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI): Civil society activists and journalists will be roped in to suggest ways for improving transparency and accountability in governance through effective implementation of the Right to Information Act. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), nodal authority for implementation of the RTI Act, has decided to give short-term fellowship to researchers from the field of media, journalism and civil society organisations associated with the transparency law to assess voluntary disclosures by various central government ministries.

The objective is to contribute towards better understanding of the success of RTI and constraints in its implementation. The proposal should clearly indicate the output that will be delivered at the end of the fellowship. It could be in the nature of a monograph of say 10,000 words which is ready for publication or features, news or investigative stories that could be printed or published as a journalistic piece in national and international media or in the case of professionals from the field of audio-video media, it could even be short video films or stories.

NEW DELHI, OCT 7 (IANS): Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah on Friday launched a scathing attack on Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi over his “dalali” remark targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and said with it he has crossed all limits.

Gandhi on Thursday hit out at Prime Minister Modi, accusing him of doing “dalali” (profiteering) over the bloodshed by Indian soldiers.

Shah demanded a clarification from Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Rahul Gandhi’s “dalali” remark.

Shah lambasted political leaders, particularly Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, for “playing politics” over the September 29 surgical strikes.

Targeting Kejriwal, Shah said that the trend of doubting the “surgical strikes” was started by the Delhi Chief Minister.

“By saying ‘dalali’ over soldiers’ blood, Rahul Gandhi has crossed all limits. The remark reflects the Congress’ mentality,” Shah told a press conference here.

“I strongly condemn his remarks. They are an insult not only to the brave armed forces

Amit Shah and martyrs but the entire country,” he said.

“I want to ask Gandhi: Does he perceive our soldiers’ blood to be a thing to do ‘dalali’ (trade) with. His words are an insult to the armed forces and the country as a whole. I want to ask what dalali is he talking about?” asked Shah.

“From Bofors to Embraer, from coal to 2G spectrum, who indulged in dalali,” asked Shah, referring to the allegations of various scams against the Congress and the UPA. Shah also asked Gandhi to focus on issues pertaining to “Alu ki factory” (potato factory) instead of making statement on such sensitive issues.

was a “tough job”. “It was basically emulating what a High Commissioner’s day is like and honestly, it is quite a tough job.

I got to attend a session with a few diplomats that included the Mexican Ambassador and Deputy Ambassadors from Canada, South Africa and Australia. I am glad that I got a chance to do this, given my current skills,” she said. The contest she won required women from across the country to explain in a video, “Why girls’ rights are important and what can be done to achieve greater gender equality.” Medha participated in several public events to create awareness about the importance of girls’ rights including the run along Shanti Path with staff from several foreign missions in the city and students

and volunteers. “I learnt that it does not take as much effort as it seems to raise awareness,” she said. A “staunch feminist”, Medha has very strong views on the issue of gender equality.

According to her, with half the population of the world being women, it is an issue that should be taken up globally. “I think it should bother us that we are okay with the metaphor of ‘a glass ceiling and a sticky floor’. That is something that globally as a society we should be working to tackle,” she said.

Medha was joined by Jess Dutton, Deputy High Commissioner of Canada to India, for a ‘chat with diplomats’ session at IILM Institute for Higher Education to discuss the issue of women in leadership with management students.

said, “It was Kejriwal who started the trend of doubting the surgical strikes and casting aspersion on the bravery of our armed forces.”

“His attempt to demand proof on the surgical strikes has led to the social media ridiculing him as a pro-Pakistani,” Shah said.

“On behalf of the BJP, we strongly condemn these attempts and whoever are questioning the surgical strikes have insulted the army, insulted the martyrs,” he added.

Shah asserted that the “surgical strikes” are the achievement of the army and the “political will” behind it was that of Prime Minister Modi. Asked if he would make it an election issue ahead of Uttar Pradesh polls, Shah said: “It should not be made an issue for Uttar Pradesh elections. But we’ll take this issue to the public because it is the responsibility of every political party to boost the confidence of the armed forces. No political leader should claim credit for this.”

He also slammed the Congress for questioning the “excitement” shown by a few BJP ‘karyakartas’ (activists) after the surgical strikes.

Centre opposed the practice of triple talaq.

New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI):: For the first time in India’s constitutional history, the Centre Friday opposed in the Supreme Court the practice of triple talaq, ‘nikah halala’ and polygamy among Muslims and favoured a relook on grounds like gender equality and secularism.

The Ministry of Law and Justice, in its affidavit, referred to constitutional principles like gender equality, secularism, international covenants, religious practices and marital law prevalent in various Islamic countries to drive home the point that the practice of triple talaq and polygamy needed to be adjudicated upon afresh by the apex court.

“It is submitted that the issue of validity of triple talaq, nikah halala and polygamy

needs to be considered in the light of principles of gender justice and the overriding principle of non-discrimination, dignity and equality,” the affidavit filed

by Mukulita Vijayawargiya, Additional Secretary in the Ministry, said.

Responding to a batch of petitions including the one filed by Shayaro Bano challenging the validity of such practices among Muslims, the Centre first dealt with the right of gender equality under the Constitution.

“The fundamental question for determination by this court is whether, in a secular democracy, religion can be a reason to deny equal status and dignity available to women under the Constitution of India,” it said.

Referring to constitution-

al principles, it said that “any practice by which women are left ‘socially, financially or emotionally vulnerable’ or subject to the whims and caprice of men-folk is incompatible with the letter and spirit of Article 14 and 15 (Right to Equality) of the Constitution”.

Linking the issue with the Right to Life and Personal Liberty, the Centre in its 29-page affidavit said “gender equality and the dignity of the women are non-negotiable, overarching constitutional value and can brook no compromise.

The Centre’s affidavit said women must be made equal participants in the development and advancement of the world’s largest democracy and any practice, which denuded their status as citizens due to religion, is an “impediment” in achieving the larger goal.

It also referred to various apex court judgments to buttress the point that fundemental rights like Right to Equality and life with dignity formed part of the basic structure of the Constitution and hence were non-negotiable.

The Centre also said that the nation, being a founding member of the United Nations, was committed to international covenants and the UN Charter which spoke about equal rights for men and women.

Rajnath Singh chairs a meeting with the Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje Scindia, the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Shri Kiren Rijiju, the Union Home Secretary, Shri Rajiv Mehrishi, the Secretary (Border Management), Shri Susheel Kumar and senior officers of MHA and BSF over the sealing on Indo-Pak border, in Jaisalmer on Friday. (PTI) Ja i s a l m e r ( Raja s than), Oct 7 (IANS): India has decided to completely seal its winding border with Pakistan by December 2018, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday.

Talking to reporters here after a meeting to review the situation on the border in the wake of heightened tension with Pakistan, Rajnath Singh said the plan to seal the border will be implemented in a timebound manner.

“The Home Ministry has set up a target of fully sealing the Indo-Pakistan border by December 2018. To achieve this target, the action plan prepared is fully time bound

by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said.

The observations came during the hearing of a case filed by Vardhaman Kaushik on the deteriorating air quality in the national capital.

The Tribunal directed senior officials from states of Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, besides officers of Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board, to appear before it on October 19, the next date of hearing.

The NGT in September had asked Uttar Pradesh and Haryana government to mull over the possibility of installing CNG stations in NCR while refusing to grant permission to over 10- year old diesel vehicles to ply in these areas.

and the implementation will be fully monitored periodically -- monthly and quarterly,” Singh said.

He said monitoring will be done at the level of Home Ministry as also at the level of state governments and the Border Security Force (BSF).

“We have given special emphasis on monitoring, because by December 2018, we want to achieve the target of fully sealing the Indo-Pakistan border,” said Singh, adding that technological help will be taken

to seal off the riverine sections of the border. Rajnath Singh said a new concept, “Border Security Grid”, would be put in place and the border states have given their suggestions on it.

“On that basis, we will give a final shape to this Border Security Grid and the central government will issue guidelines in this regard to the respective state governments,” he added.

The meeting was attended

by Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, Punjab

Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and Gujarat Home Minister Pradeepsinh Jadeja.

Chief Secretaries of Rajasthan, Punjab, Gujarat and Jammu & Kashmir were also present.

The decision to seal border with Pakistan has come in the wake of heightened tension with Pakistan since the September 18 terror attack on an Indian Army camp at Uri in Jammu & Kashmir and the surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) by the army.

Aware but now awake

A

wareness on environment protection is not something that begins and ends with campaigns. That would be belittling the huge challenge faced by planet earth in providing the cycle of sustenance for human habitation. Unfortunately, humans have opted for artificial comforts at the cost of nature. Due to human interference with the environment through emissions of chemicals and pollutants, the changes are being witnessed through changing climatic winds, oceanic currents and rising heat and humidity. The global warming debate has neglected and thus underestimated the importance of technical change in considering reduction in greenhouse gases and adaptation to climate change. At the local level, awareness has not gone beyond the seminars and workshops and destruction of natural forests continues to be a pillaging threat to the environment.

The local destruction of the local environment has also added to the changes in climate. According to environmentalists, there can be no compensation for the loss of natural forests because open forests are often classified as degraded. A dense or closed forest, as it is known in scientific terms, is characteristic of that area and climatic conditions. When a natural forest is felled what is lost is the ecological system, including rare species of flora and fauna.

What replaces it is a monoculture plantation of fastgrowing species. What is needed is a long term five-year plan and annual plan of action. Unless we get down to action, all these concerns would only be futile and meaningless. One of the most destructive symbols on the environment has been the total loss of the once lush Rangapahar reserved forest which was declared as a sanctuary. This newspaper had exposed the nexus that had systematically destroyed the forest since 1990. At the height of its prime, Rangapahar Sanctuary had 21,768 acres when it was notified as a reserved forest in 1925 by the forest department of Assam. Today, what is left of the sanctuary is about hardly 300 acres that is supposed to be the Nagaland Zoological Park. The battle to save the last patch of green in Nagaland beginning from the mid-80s was lost when the forest department itself became predator in 1990by wantonly felling all standing trees on one hand.

Even the present Intangki National Park has been under severe depredation since the mid-90s. There is also a success story of recent years involving the saving Amur Falcons from becoming another of the hundreds of species that have become extinct. The Nagaland Wildlife & Biodiversity Conservation Trust (NWBCT), a Dimapur-based NGO, has made a mark by successfully creating awareness on saving Amur Falcons in collaboration with the forest department including district authorities in Wokha as well as community members to stop the killings in 2013.

The state has won international recognition for this. o government in the state should overlook the role of sustainable development while pursuing economic growth. Ignoring this matter would only create an unfavorable climate literally and geographically and disturb the need to maintain equitable and healthy rates of growth. Nagaland has or had till a decade back, rich biodiversity but today, the land has been bled while the rivers have been thoroughly sterilised to an extent where they are now unable to actually sustain any form of aquatic life. Environmental quality is not a matter of sentiment. It is an economic imperative, particularly in Nagaland where history and tradition are about environment.

DailyDevotion The Nature of Reconciliation He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. —2 Corinthians 5:21 Sin is a fundamental relationship— it is not wrong doing, but wrong being— it is deliberate and determined independence from God. The Christian faith bases everything on the extreme, self-confident nature of sin. Other faiths deal with sins— the Bible alone deals with sin. The first thing Jesus Christ confronted in people was the heredity of sin, and it is because we have ignored this in our presentation of the gospel that the message of the gospel has lost its sting and its explosive power.

The revealed truth of the Bible is not that Jesus Christ took on Himself our fleshly sins, but that He took on Himself the heredity of sin that no man can even touch.

God made His own Son “to be sin” that He might make the sinner into a saint. It is revealed throughout the Bible that our Lord took on Himself the sin of the world through identification with us, not through sympathy for us. He deliberately took on His own shoulders, and endured in His own body, the complete, cumulative sin of the human race.

“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us…” and by so doing He placed salvation for the entire human race solely on the basis of redemption. Jesus Christ reconciled the human race, putting it back to where God designed it to be. And now anyone can experience that reconciliation, being brought into oneness with God, on the basis of what our Lord has done on the cross.

A man cannot redeem himself— redemption is the work of God, and is absolutely finished and complete. And its application to individual people is a matter of their own individual action or response to it. A distinction must always be made between the revealed truth of redemption and the actual conscious experience of salvation in a person’s life.

Post-mortem Nagaland – yet to constitute State Human Rights Commission H

uman right are the basic rights and freedom to which all humans are considered entitled, the right to life, freedom of thought and expression and equal treatment before the law, are some among others. These rights represent entitlements of the individual or group, as well as responsibilities of the individual and the government authorities. Such rights are ascribed “naturally” which means that they are not earned and cannot be denied on the basis of race, creed, ethnicity or gender. Every year the 10th December is observed ass International Human Rights Day to bring to the attention of the peoples of the world that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations. The Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, adopted by the World Conference, marked the beginning of a renowned effort in the protection and promotion of human rights.

Promoting human rights is one of the core purposes of the United Nations. And the core purpose of the United Nations was deliberately failing as Nagaland government could not constitute a State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) till date. Human Rights are fundamental to our every existence without which we cannot live as human beings. To protect human rights is to ensure that people receive some degree of decent, human treatment.

However, in many cases public authorities and government official institute policies that violates basic human rights.

Such abuses of power by political leaders and state authorities have devastating effects.

The President of Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organisation(NVCO) & Con-

T

venor ACAUT Nagaland(legal cell) Kezhokhoto Savi said that the churches, educational institutions and colleges in Nagaland are to play an active role in promoting peace, justice and social transformation.

Atrocities on women at home and workplace, insurgency, problems of drugs, alcoholism among youths and adults, child abuse and flesh trade, extortion, anti-Indian mentally, delay in receiving justice and growth of non-humanitarian values are dear indication of violation of human rights. Slavery, poverty, physical torture, destruction of property, killing, hunger, sex exploitation, forced labour, child labour, commercial sex exploitation, illiteracy, etc. are against human rights. As indigenous people of the land, Article 371A of the constitution of India provides a special provision giving the Naga people rights to protect their own way of life, its land and resources. The various Naga Tribal Councils in Nagaland raised strong voices against the certain notified community as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland is simply the demand to protect the rights of indigenous people as indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland. A major theme of the human rights discourse is the Armed Forces (Special Power) Act widely seen in the state as ‘draconian’. The law comes into force in any part of India that is declared to be ‘disturbed’ by the state. It allows anyone of any rank in the army, or a paramilitary force under its operational command, to shoot, arrest or search without warrant – even to kill on the basis of suspicion alone. A unique form of protest against the Act is demonstrated by the Mainpuri poet, Irom Sharmila Chanu, who has been recently ended her 16 years fast against the

Armed Forces(Special Power) Act on August 9, 2016. Rights and duties are one of the primary concerns of the human civilization. However, knowledge about human rights is not popular among the citizens of the state. As a result, violation of human rights is so common that the purpose of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is defeated considerable number of times and one of the reasons is ignorance about human rights, not only among the illiterate sections but also among the literate and educated ones. Article 21 of the constitution of India is the heart of all other fundamental rights, without which all other fundamental rights are meaningless.

Right to life includes all those rights that make human life worth living.

Basing on the parameters of value, a number of other aspects developed to regulate the behavioural patterns of man.

These values such as dignity, liberty, equality, justice, ethics and morals, have had their significant impact to shape the human relations in a society.

The main aim and function of law in any society is to regulate the relations between men and to alleviate the intensity of conflicts to promote peace, security, good and orderly behaviour of mankind to establish a conflict free society. In view of the linkage and importance that values play a significant role in the promotion and realization of human rights, the different concepts of values are examined in brief; Human Values: In general, we think of values that are commonly followed by us in day to day life.

This value vary from person to person depending on their experiences and circumstances in which they grow. However, there are certain basic values

O

which are common to all.

They are life, liberty, security, freedom and success, security to life, kindness, pain and pleasure. Depending on the circumstances, which each person grow up considers which value is important to him. But adhering to values which is important to all, in the longer run develop a society, to establish peace for the progressive all round development of all the sections of a society. This will help to learn to live with unity in diversity.

Dignity: Dignity is another value that regulates the behaviour of individuals. Dignity is a relative term with regulatory nature. It prescribes the norms and ethical standards need to be followed and adopted. In the day to day inter-relationships, individuals are expected to behave with one another in a dignified and honest manner. This concept dictates that everyone of us has to exercise due caution and care in our relations without undermining the capacities of other person. Further, it teaches us not to create a situation wherein others are made to undergo either emotional, psychological, physical, tense situations or to harm their personality.

Equality: Equality is another important component of human rights. From ancient to modern times, people are fighting to achieve this in terms of its practical application to each situation. In general, equality proposes to bring all the people into one category, and apply the principle of law, and justice without any distinction whatsoever it may be among the individuals.

Equality is a relative concept which may be distinguished basing on a number of factors, and the enjoyments of rights

on an equal footing. The aim of the Universal Declaration of Human Right and the constitutions of various countries including India are to treat all the people on an equal footing without any kind of discrimination. This may be referred to formal equality. Wherein in the eyes of law are equal.

Although all people are numerically considered as equal in the eyes of law in providing the amenities or distribution of resources, all may not be considered or treated as equal in reality. This is because of the socio-economic political and cultural conditions that prevails in each society. In order to up lift the people who are not equal on any ground specified above, they need to be given certain concessions and facilities to improve their states and to reach the equal status with that of others who are on a high pedestal.

Liberty: Liberty is another concept which plays a vital role in the promotion of human rights. Liberty is an ancient concept. This concept has its roots in the political philosophy. In simple terms, liberty means human beings are free to regulate their relations and are able to govern their relations, behave at their own will, and be responsible for their acts. But if the acts are bad or performed with an intention to defray anybody or deprive them of their legal claims, they not only affect the rights of others, but also of their own in the long run.

Ethics and morals: Ethics and morals are considered as equal concepts. However, there exists a subtle difference between these two. Morals deal with the personal character of an individual. On the other hand, ethics lays its importance on a social

Intimacy for the Avoidant

ver the past generation there seems to have been a decline in the number of high-quality friendships.

In 1985, most Americans told pollsters that they had about three confidants, people with whom they could share everything.

Today, the majority of people say they have about two. In 1985, 10 percent of Americans said they had no one to fully confide in, but by the start of this century 25 percent of Americans said that.

All of this has left people wondering if technology is making us lonelier. Instead of going over to the neighbor’s house, are we sitting at home depressingly surfing everybody else’s perfect lives on Facebook?

Over the past decade, the best research has suggested that no, technology and social media are not making us lonelier. These things are tools. It’s what you bring to Facebook that matters. Socially engaged people use it to further engage; lonely people use it to mask loneliness. As Stephen Marche put it in The Atlantic in 2012, “Using social media doesn’t create new social networks; it just transfers established networks from one platform to another.”

But recently, people’s views of social media have grown a bit darker. That’s because we seem to be hitting some sort of saturation level. Being online isn’t just something we do. It has become who we are, transforming the very nature of the self.

Earlier this year, Jacob Weisberg had a fine essay in The New York Review of Books reporting that, according to a British study, we check our phones on average 221 times a day — about every 4.3 minutes.

A decade ago almost no one had a smartphone. Now the average American

spends five and half hours a day with digital media, and the young spend far more time. A study of female students at Baylor University found that they spent 10 hours a day on their phones.

A lot of this traffic is driven by the fear of missing out. Somebody may be posting something on Snapchat that you’d like to know about, so you’d better constantly be checking. The traffic is also driven by what the industry executives call “captology.” The apps generate small habitual behaviors, like swiping right or liking a post, that generate ephemeral dopamine bursts. Any second that you’re feeling bored, lonely or anxious, you feel this deep hunger to open an app and get that burst.

Last month, Andrew Sullivan published a moving and much-discussedessay in New York magazine titled “I Used to Be a Human Being” about what it’s like to have your soul hollowed by the web.

“By rapidly substituting virtual reality for reality,” Sullivan wrote, “we are diminishing the scope of [intimate] interaction even as we multiply the number of people with whom we interact. We remove or drastically filter all the information we might get by being with another person. We reduce them to some outlines — a Facebook ‘friend,’ an Instagram photo, a text message — in a controlled and sequestered world that exists largely free of the sudden eruptions or encumbrances of actual human interaction.

We become each other’s ‘contacts,’ efficient shadows of ourselves.”

At saturation level, social media reduces the amount of time people spend in uninterrupted solitude, the time when people can excavate and process their internal states. It encourages social multi-

‘Common sense’ is sensible, wise behavior in man

I

ntentionally naked and Unashamed, I once wrote an open letter to a Person of: ‘How sensible his Good Sense is’, because he wrote a Write-up I thought lack Common Sense Civility.

Actually ‘Common Sense’ is not very common. Common Sense is having wise and nice sensibilities, a not very common Trait in Many.

I knew the Ban on Movement of Vehicle in the Road on 5th Oct, was 6 AM to 6PM to emphasise Environment Cleanliness in our land. I did not know it was limited to Kohima District only.

For an unavoidable work I had programed ahead to go to Dimapur on that day, and to reach Dimapur before 6AM, I and my wife woke up at 2:15 AM and started for Dimapur at 3:06 AM while it was still dark.

We finished our works early but straggled at Dimapur to while away some time and started for Kohima travelling slowly intending to spend some 3 hrs on the way.

When we reached Chümukedima Check Gate we saw Vehicles on the Road coming towards Dimapur from the direction of Kohima. I thought the BAN must have been relaxed from the Afternoon, more so because there were no Youth Volunteers stopping Vehicles at Chümukedima, Gaspani, Pherima or at Piphema.

We reached Peducha Bridge, and One Youth signalled us to stop. When I did, the Youth, middle height and build, a Volunteer, apparently the Leader of a Pact of Youths standing at the Roadside, came and politely informed me that Vehicles are not allowed to ply in the Road on the day to emphasise Environment Cleanliness in the Land. He was crewcut, in clean half-sleeved shirt, decently dressed and spoke very civilly in calm normal low voices.

“But”, “Vehicles plied down towards Dimapur and nobody stopped us at Chümukedima or at Piphema from coming up”, I said, trying to justify myself.

“The Ban is only within Kohima District Jurisdiction, we are doing this to make a wide circle of the general Public to be aware of the Need of Environmental Cleanliness” the Youth said.

He stopped another Car and spoke to the Driver. The Driver stopped and spoke to him something and then drove off.

The other Angami Youths of the Group simply stood quietly looking at the whole episode ‘unlike a pack of wild dogs’, saying nothing to help their leader. I remembered Lawrence of Arabia describing the Arabs as: “A Fiercely Independent People; but Does not know cohesion”: I thought Lawrence may as

system, which regulates the code of conduct of a group of individuals, In other words, the morals need to be applied in each society depending on the values that are acceptable by a society. From the perspective of human rights, the concept of justice, equality and the participation of individuals in the socio-cultural aspects of the community are ethical aspects. Accordingly, every human being in a society is responsible at all times to strive to achieve human rights as a moral or ethical subject of society. Ethics is a normative science of human conduct in society which differentiates between right and wrong, good or bad, proper or improper. The standard, which makes one to differentiate good from bad or right from wrong is a value.

Ethics with reference to human right presupposes freedom as a necessary pre-conditions. A free man can take his decision of action and such a decision can be evaluated as good or bad, right or wrong, proper or improper. Goodness is the highest of value. Goodness is objective, universal and rational. Some basic values are courage, tolerance, benevolence, kindness and friendship. This brief discussion of the various concept highlight the significance that human rights can never be achieved in total until and unless all the people of the united Nations, discharge the responsibilities with utmost sincerity. This in turn enables us to achieve, universalization of human rights without any kind of deviation to race, sex, language, religion, region, etc. This leads one to learn how to live in a diversified world, more particularly in the contemporary era of fourth phase of globalization.

well describe the Angamis.

The Youth calmly said: “You may defy the Ban and go but it will be at your own risk or you may go ahead and stop to rest somewhere in the Road and enter Kohima only after 6.PM.” I felt a little uncomfortably embarrassed because of the Youth’s civility, and my violation of the Ban but I thought I would stop ahead at Manipur Hotel at Zubza and moved on only in time.

The Youth Volunteers of the day conducted themselves considerably civilly and maturely and I hope the day passed off successfully without any ugly incidents.

Indeed, environment problems have appeared starkly even to Nagaland, and everybody, learned or not, must be aware of the seriousness of the problem. I am proud the Angami Youths are one of the first to do something for the Issue I looked after when I was in Service, but since this problem can not be tackled with a onetime Action only, in future, a less drastic Action may be devised than Ban of Vehicle on the Road for the whole day, particularly on the National Highway.

tasking: You’re with the people you’re with, but you’re also monitoring the six billion other people who might be communicating something more interesting from far away. It flattens the range of emotional experiences.

As Louis C.K. put it in a TV appearance, “You never feel completely sad or completely happy. You just feel kinda satisfied with your products. And then you die.”

Perhaps phone addiction is making it harder to be the sort of person who is good at deep friendship. In lives that are already crowded and stressful, it’s easier to let banter crowd out emotional presence. There are a thousand ways online to divert with a joke or a happy face emoticon. You can have a day of happy touch points without any of the scary revelations, or the boring, awkward or uncontrollable moments that constitute actual intimacy.

When Montaigne was describing the accumulating intimacy he enjoyed with his best friend, he described an emotional interaction that was full and progressive: “It was not one special consideration, nor two, nor three, nor four, nor a thousand; it was some mysterious quintessence of all this mixture which possessed itself of my will and led it to plunge and lose itself in his; which possessed his whole will and led it, with a similar hunger, and a like impulse, to plunge and lose itself in mine.”

When we’re addicted to online life, every moment is fun and diverting, but the whole thing is profoundly unsatisfying. I guess a modern version of heroism is regaining control of social impulses, saying no to a thousand shallow contacts for the sake of a few daring plunges.

ANAHTA salary woes

The All Nagaland Aggrieved Hindi teachers Association (ANAHTA) being running into eight months without pay were left with no option but to boycott class. Since we were surviving on credit all through the year by regularly performing our duties faithfully hoping that the department will relies all our bending salaries at earliest. Whereas we have to pay our children School fees up to Feb 2017 for which we are left with no corner even to take credit. Our Department is aware of the fact that all the Hindi Teachers appointed under CSS are all regular State employees, appointed by following the proper procedure of law.

Just because we are paid under the CSS does not mean that we can be deprived of our monthly salary, despite being regular employees of the State we have been giving Step motherly treatment from the initial stage of our appointment. This should be stopped immediately and henceforth. Urging the Department to realize all the bending salary by the second weak of Oct as we are performing our duties regularly. Releasing salary for one or two Month will not be sufficient enough even to pay our credit Therefore if our department fails to fulfill our demands we will be left with no option but to boycott class by 17th Oct 2016 as resolved by our members during the general meeting on 11 August 2106; until all the Teachers receive all our pending salaries. Reminding the department once again that our duties are to teach the Students and not to pursue our Department for the release of our salaries. Therefore urging the Department to acknowledge our sufferings before compiling as to take further step and acknowledge our writing.

SC stays Patna HC order quashing liquor ban in Bihar

Never imagined BJP would stoop so low: Cong

CHENNAI, Oct 7 (Agencies): With doctors indicating that Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa’s stay in hospital will be a lengthy one, the pressure on her party to name a stand-in is surging.

Governor Vidyasagar Rao met this evening with the top bureaucrat, the state’s Chief Secretary, and two senior ministers including O Panneerselvam and E K Palanisamy. Mr Panneerselvam replaced Ms Jayalalithaa when she was arrested on corruption charges in 2014.

She returned to office after being acquitted nine months later.

Governor Rao asked

sought details about Ms Jayalalithaa’s health, the “general administration of Tamil Nadu”, and the arrangements being made for a crucial visit by experts assigned to decide a water dispute between the state and neighbouring Karnataka, said sources.

Governor Rao was reportedly informed that decisions are being taken “on a day to day basis”.

The Governor’s consult comes the day after doctors attending to the 68-year-old said she is on respiratory support and has been advised to remain at Apollo Hospital.

Two days ago, a team of doctors from Delhi’s premier

New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the Patna High Court order quashing the Bihar government’s ban on liquor.

A bench of Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Uday Umesh Lalit gave the respondents - Confederation of Indian Alcholic Beverage Companies and others - six weeks time to respond, and gave the Bihar government four weeks’ time to file its rejoinder.

The stay of the high court order came on a petition by the Bihar government which contended that it made the choice to impose prohibition in view of the prevailing social conditions.

The bench directed the hearing of the matter after 10 weeks.

Senior counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for the Confederation, told the court not to stay the high court’s order as because of the new law, the whole prohibition policy was in operation in the state.

Singhvi told the court that the high court, had by its September 30 order, quashed the notification prohibiting the bottling, sale, distribution and consumption of liquor and the state government brought a new law on October 2.

He also told the court that new law reinforcing the

prohibition has not been challenged so far.

However, the unimpressed bench stayed the operation of the high court order, which had declared ultra vires Section 19(4) of the Bihar Excise Act, 1915 and the notification prohibiting liquor in the State.

It had also declared as ultra vires the provisions providing for enhanced sentence and confiscation of property of those violating the prohibition policy.

The Bihar government has contended that as a consequence of the high court order, its effort to have complete prohibition in the state in pursuance to its obligations under Article 47 of the Directive Principles of State Policy stood frustrated.

The petition has contended that the high court had declared void Section 19(4) without taking into account the mandate of Article 47 which says that it is the duty of the state to raise the level of nutrition and the standard of living and to improve public health.

The ban on liquor is a deterrent and consumption of liquor in Bihar is not in the public interest, says the petition by the state government, pointing out that the prohibition policy has been appreciated by a large number of people especially women.

This is a really good initiative of the Delhi Police to hold a programme for its officers to train them in cracking cases that happen in the online world. We need more such steps to be taken to educate our police officers in tackling such crimes, said Biswas.

“Many of the crimes against women and children are happening in the online space. We have to up our game when we are dealing with such criminals. It is essential for our officers to know about online platforms and social media and the threats posed by them. “For instance, if a girl visits a police station saying that she is being stalked on Facebook and the officer there doesn’t know about the social media platform, what will the girl do? It was DSCI that approached us with the idea and we were quite happy to partner with them,” said Nanda.

While the officers enjoyed learning about things like preserving online evidence, safety precautions, file sharing investigations, Google search, they also spoke about many of the technologies that are not yet available in our country.

“The sessions have been quite informative but many of the technologies that the speakers explained about, we don’t have access to such kind of technologies. Many of the speakers were using quite technical terms which many of us couldn’t grasp fully,” said one of the attendees.

He accused the BJP of slashing the disability pension of army personnel to Rs 27,000, from the earlier Rs 67,000.

Sibal said the BJP government should apologise for saying it was the first time that Indian armed forces had conducted surgical strikes and it was disrespect to the army.

“Its a disrespect to the army, the BJP must apologise to the army,” the Congress leader said.

Slamming Modi and Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “Prime Minister and Defence Minister have ample time to attend ceremonies in Goa and Agra, but they have no time to meet the families of the martyred soldiers.”

The Congress also accused the BJP of helping their friends to do businesses with Pakistan, and said, “Who is in talks with Pakistan to provide power? Who is doing business deals with Pakistan?”

The Congress also played a video clip, featuring a tweet of Modi in September 2013 questioning the preparedness of the Indian Army and a video clip of him comparing the job of a businessman as being more risky than of soldiers.

New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI): Delhi Police sleuths might soon be using the crime tracking software developed by law enforcement agencies in the US, to crack and prevent cases of online child abuse.

On the concluding day of a three-day training programme organised by Delhi Police’s Special Police Unit for Women and Children (SPUWAC) in collaboration with Data Security Council of India (DSCI) and International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC), police officers were told that they might be given access to software used by the FBI and other premier investigative agencies.

“During the three-day training programme, we were told that ICMEC has developed software in collaboration with the FBI, other law enforcement agencies in the US and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that might be made available to us.

“These softwares are quite advanced and can track online predators, how they are accessing child pornographic images, where all the images have been circulated, from where it was uploaded. They can lead you to the IP address from where the abuse might be happening,” said a senior police officer who attended the programme.

Officers were also taught about working on various file sharing websites and different kinds of torrent files.

NEW DELHI, Oct 7 (PTI): Modernisation process in the Indian Air Force will turn it into even more potent and strategic force which can take on all future challenges, President Pranab Mukherjee said here today. In his message to the IAF on the eve of its 84th anniversary, the Supreme Commander of Indian Armed Forces said the nation is proud of the capability and competency of the IAF. “Over the last eight decades, the IAF has emerged as an immensely professional and combat-ready force. It has achieved distinction in defending our skies and delivering vital humanitarian aid and disaster relief,” Mukherjee said. Greeting the force, the President said

“The incident did not have in any damage to the aircraft or property, nor injuries to crew members or guests on board,” Jet Airways said in statement to PTI. Taking note of the “serious” incident, the Civil Aviation Ministry has ordered a detailed probe into it.

The two-member committee, constituted to look into the incident and headed

by Jitendra Singh, has started its probe.

JAMMU, Oct 7 (PTI): Pakistani troops have violated ceasefire over 25 times along the LoC in Jammu andKashmir since the September 29 surgical strikes by Indian Army in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to destroy terror launch pads.

“There have been over 25 ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir after the surgical strikes,” a senior Army officer said on Friday.

The major ceasefire violations took place on 3, 4 and 5 October along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu region.

On October 5, Pakistani troops violated ceasefire thrice and resorted to heavy firing and mortar shelling to target several Indian posts and civilian areas in three sectors in Poonch and Rajouri districts of J-K, provoking retaliation by the Indian Army.

Three soldiers had suffered minor injuries, while nine Pakistani armymen were injured in the retaliatory action by India.

leader also said that the Indian Army had earlier also carried out surgical strikes across the LoC. “Former Army chiefs have also said that the our armed forces have carried out such strikes in the past.

So stop politicising the issue through posters and let the army do their job of safeguarding the borders of the country,” Sibal said.

“We never politicised the surgical strike issue during our time, because these kind of works are done silently and without any politics involved in it,” Sibal said.

“Today BJP president said that he will take this surgical strike to every home, thus he made it clear that they will do politics over it,” the Congress leader added.

Sibal also said that the Election Commission in September 2013 had slammed the BJP for using the Army in its poll posters. “The Election Commission made it clear that the armed forces cannot be used for political gains as they are the guardian of the borders,” he added.

Taking a dig at the BJP, Sibal said, “Today these attacks happened as they (BJP) released Jaish-e-Mohammad militant Maulana Masood Azhar.”

“If BJP hadn’t released Maulana Masood Azhar then the JeM wouldn’t have taken birth,” Sibal alleged.

(From p-1) The demand of CCoFA for CBI to inquire into the scam is justified as the scandal has immense ramifications against the public interest, NTC noted.

With the absence of any credible investigating agency in the state to take up such case of public importance, NTC was of the opinion that a CBI enquiry was necessary for an impartial enquiry into the scam and to bring the case to a logical conclusion on time. On the other hand, NTC expressed dismay that the only investigating bureau, the State Vigilance Commission, was disrobed of all its powers by a Cabinet resolution since June, 2016.

“The state govt. is therefore free to indulge in corruption of any magnitude without deterrent. Therefore, what alternative is left to public for redress of its grievances if not demand justice from CBI’s involvement?” NTC questioned. In this regard, NTC has called upon all the right thinking citizens to support CCoFA as and when it seeks public support for its movement against the racket under Public Distribution System and for restoration of the system in the interest of the common man.

Ms Jayalalithaa was admitted on September 22.

Her party, the AIADMK, said she was being treated for fever and dehydration and has refuted talk of serious medical concerns, filing four police cases against people who misreported her condition on social media.

But its announcements of her returning home soon have been cancelled out repeatedly by doctors, doing little to dispel the talk that the AIADMK is not being straight up about its chief ’s health matters.

New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS): The Congress on Friday slammed the BJP for “politicising” the crossborder surgical strikes by the Indian Army, and accused BJP President Amit Shah of using the issue for political gains.

“The people who have been to jail and who have murder cases against them are pointing fingers at others,” Congress leader Kapil Sibal said at a press conference here, without naming anyone.

“We never imagined the Bharatiya Janata Party will stoop so low. They are questioning the roots of (Congress Vice-President) Rahul Gandhi; they are questioning Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, who laid their lives for the country,” he said.

Sibal said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should stop Shah from making such remarks.

“Modiji should speak and stop his party president from making such statements.

But how will he do that? He himself is benefiting out of this,” the Congress leader said.

“Pakistan is a patient; it has cancer; it needs chemotherapy. But one surgical strike will not cure the cancer.

Give up this political propaganda and treat the cancer,” he said.

NEW DELHI, Oct 7 (PTI): India’s second-largest telecom operator Vodafone today said it will spend Rs 20,280 crore on the spectrum it has acquired in all its key telecom circles in the just-concluded auction.

“The new spectrum significantly enhances coverage, capacity and speed of Vodafone India’s 4G data services in its key circles, complementing existing high-quality 2G and 3G voice and data capabilities,” the company said in a statement.

Vodafone’s investment totals Rs 20,280 crore, of which Rs 10,140 crore is payable upfront.

Just last month, as the telecom industry was gearing up for the spectrum auction, Vodafone had announced that it had pumped in Rs 47,700 crore in its Indian arm since April.

Given the Rs 20,280 crore push for the spectrum purchase, Vodafone had emerged as the most aggressive bidder in the recently-concluded auction ahead of rivals such as Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular and the new-comer Reliance Jio.

He was of the view that there is much scope for India to benefit from Chinese experience in the manufacturing sector and transform the country into a modern urban economy.

Panagariya termed India and China as “two rare bright spots” in an otherwise sluggish world economy. “Despite a decline in growth rate, China contributes a handsome US $500 billion or more to annual growth of the global economy,” he said. His Chinese counterpart Xu Shaoshi, Chairman of National Development and Reform Commission (China) (NDRC), said: “China and India are two important forces.

They are powerhouse of Asia and the world. There is a need for the two countries to go beyond bilateral relationships.”

Shaoshi was clear that the two countries have the potential to build the world’s most attractive and competitive places.

Shaoshi is leading a team of businessmen and government officials to participate in the two-day India-China Strategic Economic Dialogue on October 6-7, 2016.

New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI): Gold extended its slump for the third day and lost another Rs 170 to Rs 30,320 per 10 grams in the bullion market today amid a weakening global trend and slack demand from jewellers. Silver cracked below the Rs 42,000-mark by tumbling Rs 920 to Rs 41,930 per kg on poor offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Sentiment was downbeat, largely in keeping with a weak global trend where gold is on course for the biggest weekly loss in two years to trade at four-month lows on expectations that the Federal Reserve is close to raising US interest rates, boosting the dollar and sapping the precious metal’s safe haven appeal. Globally, gold fell by 0.06 per cent to USD 1,254.40 an ounce, the lowest level since June 7, and silver by 0.09 per cent to USD 17.27 an ounce in Singapore.

Furthermore, easing demand from jewellers and retailers in the domestic bullion market weighed. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity slumped

by Rs 170 each to Rs 30,320 and Rs 30,170 per 10 grams, respectively.

on structural reforms (constitutional amendment enabling implementation of the national goods and services tax, adoption of inflation targets, and removal of foreign direct investment (FDI) ceilings),” the report said.

The IMF said India’s growth has continued to benefit from the large improvement in the terms of trade, positive policy actions, including implementation of key structural reforms, gradual reduction of supply-side constraints, and a rebound in confidence.

Consumption growth has remained strong and activity in core industrial sectors has picked up. Government consumption is set to continue to support growth in 2016, it noted.

According to the report, in China, GDP growth is projected to remain relatively strong in the near term, helped by the fiscal stimulus on infrastructure spending.

Overall, growth is projected to be 6.6 per cent in 2016 and 6.2 per cent in 2017 (0.1 percentage point higher for 2016 relative to the April 2016 WEO), reflecting fiscal stimulus and credit support.

NEW DELHI, Oct 7 (PTI): India can become a US $10 trillion economy in the next 15 years, from the existing US $2 trillion, like China did in last one and a half decade, said NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Arvind Panagariya today.

“India started off to rapid growth a little later than China, but now it has the potential to accomplish in the next 15 years what China did in the last 15 years. Today, India’s GDP stands at about US $2 trillion and it has good prospects of rising to USD 10 trillion in the next 15 years,” Panagariya said addressing the India China Investment Conclave at Ficci.

“What China has accomplished in last 15 years is very impressive. It (China’s economy) has gone from US $2 trillion 15 years ago to US $10 trillion today.” NITI Aayog is preparing a 15-year vision blueprint which will provide a road map for developing India into a big economic powerhouse with inclusive growth.

A n a ly s t s s ay I n d i a n economy will have to grow at over 10 per cent in the next 15 years to hit the US $10 trillion level. On bilateral co-operation, Panagariya said, “With China promoting out-bound investment and India seeking foreign capital and technology, it

working-age population in some economies like India and Indonesia continues to grow, potentially helping sustain strong potential growth.

In its report, the IMF said India’s GDP growth is projected at 7.6 per cent in both 2016/17 fiscal year (ending in March 2017) and 2017/18 fiscal year, up 0.1 percentage point relative to the April 2016 World Economic Outlook, a survey conducted and published by the IMF. The ongoing growth recovery remains braced by private consumption, it said.

“Monsoon rainfall coming in at normal levels bodes well for agriculture and, along with a decennial rise in government employee salaries, will underpin the ongoing recovery in domestic demand,” the IMF report said.

“Further progress on reforms will boost sentiment, and the incipient recovery of private investment is expected to help broaden the sources of growth amid gradual fiscal consolidation and broadly neutral monetary policy,” it said.

Washington, Oct 7 (PTI): Asserting that India has shown that progress on reforms could “ignite” business investment, the IMF today said the adoption of goods and services tax is poised to boost the country’s medium-term growth.

“India’s strong reform push in 2016 is welcome and should continue apace. Adoption of the goods and services tax is poised to boost India’s medium-term growth,” the IMF said in its latest Asia Pacific regional economic update.

Greater labour market flexibility and product market competition remain essential to create jobs and raise growth.

Priorities also include effective implementation of the new corporate debt restructuring mechanisms, it said.

“As shown by India, progress on reforms could ignite business investment (including already strong FDI inflows), further boosting domestic demand,” the IMF said.

Hurricane Matthew: Dead toll reaches 478 in Haiti

Miami/Port-AuPrince, Oct 7 (Agencies/AFP): Hurricane Matthew death toll rockets to 478 in Haiti as rescuers discover hundreds more dead as they move into devastated areas.

Alongside the devastation left by the hurricane, electricity companies in Florida have said that 300,000 homes are now without power The death toll caused

by Hurricane Matthew has reached at least 478 people in Haiti as the disaster begins ripping through Florida.

Hurricane Matthew is bringing gusts of 100mph as it heads along Florida’s east coast - with the storm’s eye 25 miles east of Cape Canaveral, home to the United States’ chief space launch site.

In just one part of Haiti’s south west region 283 people have lost their lives, and 61,500 remain in shelters across the country.

Dr Steven Godby, an expert on natural hazards from Nottingham Trent University, described the terrible impact on Haiti.

He said: “The poorest nation in the western hemisphere, it has struggled in recently with drought and food insecurity, the devastating earthquake of 2010, en-

“In addition to the loss of life and damage to infrastructure there will be longer term impacts.

“Almost 40% of Haitians work in agriculture and many are subsistence farmers who be severely affected by the heavy rains.

“The loss of homes, livelihoods and savings will

impact communities long after the relief operation for Matthew has finished, leaving them vulnerable and magnifying the impacts of future events.”

And now locals in Florida have been sharing their devastation on social media as it heads in their direction.

The storm downed power lines and trees and destroyed billboards in Cape Canaveral,

Peace in Kabul only via Kashmir: Pak to US Washington, Oct 7 (PTI): For the first time, Pakistan has linked peace in war-torn Afghanistan to the resolution of the Kashmir issue, saying a solution to both is required for peace and they cannot be “compartmentalised”.

“Road to peace in Kabul lies in Kashmir in the sense that when you talk of peace, you cannot compartmentalise peace, you can’t segregate a section... ok you can have peace in Kabul and let Kashmir burn. That is not going to happen,” Pakistan Prime Minister’s special envoy on Kashmir Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed said here.

“So you (US) talk of a

comprehensive peace settlement, so let the people of South Asia not be hostage to the hostility of the past.

Let them move forward,” said Syed, Chairman of the Pakistan Senate’s Defence and Defence Production Committee said during an interaction at Washingtonbased think-tank Stimson Centre.

He is accompanied by Shezra Mansab, a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan, as Special Envoys of Pakistan Prime Minister on Kashmir.

“Our core issue this time is Kashmir and no peace can prevail in the region, if this issue is not solved. It is

an international dispute. It is not an internal problem. The stakes are very high now, we are nuclear neighbours so we need to have peace on the issue of Kashmir and then rest of the things can be solved,” Mansab said.

She added that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has offered peace talks “without any preconditions” but it has been consistently rejected by India.

“The way to move forward is negotiations. We are ready to talk on any subject.

It is India which says that it is willing to talk about only one subject. We are ready to talk on that subject as well as other subjects,” she said.

Jeff Piotrowski, a 40-yearold storm chaser from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

“The winds are ferocious right now,” he said. “It’s fierce.”

NASA and the US Air Force, which operate the Cape Canaveral launch site, took steps to safeguard personnel and equipment.

A team of 116 employees is bunkered down inside Ken-

nedy Space Center’s Launch Control Center to ride out the hurricane.

“We’ve had some close calls, but as far as I know it’s the first time we’ve had the threat of a direct hit,” NASA spokesman George Diller said by email from the hurricane bunker.

No significant damage or injuries were reported in West Palm Beach and other communities in south Florida where the storm downed trees and power lines earlier in the night.

In West Palm Beach, street lights and houses went dark and Interstate 95 was empty as the storm rolled through the community of 100,000 people.

Hurricane Matthew was carrying extremely dangerous winds of 120mph in some areas. It is expected to gradually weaken during the next 48 hours, experts said.

Matthew’s winds had dropped on Thursday night and into Friday morning, downgrading it to a Category 3 on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity.

It could either plow inland or tear along the Atlantic coast through Friday night, the Miami-based center said.

British PM Theresa May to visit India London, Oct 7 (PTI): British Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to visit India early next month, according to highly-placed sources involved in finalising the details of her first trip to the country as premier. May’s visit is likely to coincide with the India-UK Tech Summit in New Delhi between November 7 and 9, they said.

The summit is being organised by India’s Department of Science and Technology and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and has Jo Johnson, UK minister for Universities, Science, Research & Innovation, as a confirmed keynote speaker from the UK end.

The bilateral summit was among the major announce-

ments made during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UK in November 2015.

The India-UK partnership has since moved into a new era, with Britain voting to leave the European Union (EU) in a referendum in June and leading to the resignation of then Prime Minister David Cameron.

May, 60, as the post-Brexit leader of the country, has often mentioned India among the priority countries for a free trade agreement to boost the UK’s ties outside the EU. “Countries including Canada, China, India, Mexico, Singapore and South Korea have already told us they would welcome talks on future free trade agreements”.

as powerful as Matthew’s have struck Florida, and the NHC warned of “potentially disastrous impacts.”

T h e U. S. N a t i o n a l Weather Service said the storm could be the most powerful to strike northeast Florida in 118 years.

Four people were killed in the Dominican Republic, which neighbors Haiti.

Damage and potential casualties in the Bahamas were still unclear as the storm passed near the capital, Nassau, on Thursday and then out over the western end of Grand Bahama Island.

It was too soon to predict where Matthew might do the most damage in the United States, but the NHC’s hurricane warning extended up the Atlantic coast from southern Florida through Georgia and into South Carolina.

More than 12 million people in the United States were under hurricane watches and warnings, according to the Weather Channel.

Florida is facing the most dangerous storm in living memory as Hurricane Matthew barrels in from the Atlantic threatening coastal cities with surging tides, torrential rain and 130 mile-an-hour winds.

Colombian prez wins Nobel Prize for peace Oslo, Oct 7 (AFP): Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos won the Nobel Peace Prize today for his “resolute” efforts to end more than five decades of war in his country, despite voters’ shock rejection of a historic peace deal.

The award came as a surprise after voters rejected the terms of a historic deal Santos reached last month with FARC rebel chief Rodrigo Londono, alias Timoleon “Timochenko” Jimenez, after nearly four years of talks.

“The Norwegian Nobel committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2016 to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos for his resolute efforts to bring the country’s more than 50-yearlong civil war to an end,” said committee chairwoman Kaci Kullmann Five.

The deal, which was signed on September 26, was supposed to be ratified following an October 2 referendum but in a shock development, voters shot down the agreement, leaving the country’s future hanging in the balance.

The announcement caught most Nobel watchers off-guard, with most experts saying that the referendum had torpedoed Colombia’s

Juan Manuel Santos chances of winning.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said the aim was to encourage peace efforts in the war-torn country, which are now in “real danger” of collapse.

“We hope that it will encourage all good initiatives and all the parties who could make a difference in the peace process and give Colombia -finally -- a peace after decades of war,” Kullman Five said.

The Colombia conflict has killed more than 260,000 people and left 45,000 missing over five decades, drawing in several leftist guerrilla groups, right-wing paramilitaries and drug gangs.

Under the terms of the deal, FARC, the oldest and largest rebel group, was to relaunch as a political party.

Lanka clarifies on SAARC summit Colombo, Oct 7 (PTI): Under attack from the opposition for boycotting the SAARC Summit to be held in Islamabad, the Sri Lankan government today said there was no question of pulling out when there was “no summit to attend”.

“There was no question of pulling out when there was no summit to attend”, Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera told Parliament. He said Sri Lanka had regretted that conditions were not conducive to holding the Summit.

Samaraweera said the Lankan statement was released only after several countries had issued statements

with their intention to pull out.

“We will take part (in the summit) whenever it happens,” he said. The opposition hit out at the government, saying Sri Lanka was staying out of the summit to please India while hurting Pakistan.

Samaraweera said the South Asian region must unite against terrorism. “Terrorism must unite our region not divide it,” he said while inviting the region’s leadership to forget the past and unite against terrorism.

Sri Lanka on Sepember 30 pulled out of 19th SAARC Summit in Islamabad, becoming the fifth country to do so after India, Bhutan, Afghani-

stan and Bangladesh.

“Sri Lanka regrets that the prevailing environment in the region is not conducive for holding the 19th SAARC Summit in Islamabad,” the Foreign Ministry had said in a statement.

O n t h e s a m e d a y, Pakistan had postponed the SAARC Summit to be held in Islamabad from November 9 and 10.

Besides India, three other SAARC members -Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan -- had pulled out of the summit, indirectly blaming Pakistan for creating an environment which was not right for the successful holding of the meet.

L

et’s talk about SCAD. What is SCAD? It sounds like it could be an adjective or a slang or street speak. It is the acronym for Savannah College of Art and Design, Georgia, U.S.A. S o, l e t ’s t a l k a b o u t SCAD. It is my good fortune to be invited to a retreat in SCAD. And I can’t wait to visit the college and experience college life once more albeit as a visitor after so many years. But this visit has got me thinking on college and learning.

How our college years are supposedly our most formative years intellectually; we explore our minds, we question the world around us, we start to form our own ideas. I started to think about the years I spent ‘learning’ what would come to define my professional life.

What did I gain intellectually? How did those years of learning shape my understanding of the world around me?

The more I delved into these thoughts and questions the more unsatisfied I became with

the answers.

Yes, I believe that a profession such as mine, Photography, cannot be taught. But then so is it with any form of art.

One can learn the technique of photography, or painting, or pattern-making etc but one cannot be taught the application of mind. And I believe this to be the most important aspect of a subject that falls under the category of ‘Art’.

I am focusing on photography because that’s the subject I’m most comfortable with. Before I go any further I’m clearly stating here that I’m not an art historian nor write about art in any form.

My thoughts and opinion arise from my own practice of photography. While photography is strictly not art in the way we understand art to be but sometimes photographs can also fall into the art category. Photography can be news documentation or beautiful landscape photos or abstract photography, it is without limit what one can do with the camera.

The works of Walker Evans, an American photographer of the 1930’s -1970’s, has had an immense impact on me. I read his work to be a documentation of his time but yet anticipating the future of America. There is poetry and prose in his work. Today looking at his photographs I can categorise most of his work as work of art. I could go on about his work but the point I want to make is, is there a thought behind all work of art.

I believe there is and there must be if an artist is to make his/her work stand apart from other artist. Take the example of fashion designing which is the most mainstream form of art. It has the artistic expression, the language or thought of the designer stamped all over the work. Think Rei kawakubo or Alexander McQueen.

We can immediately recognise their work from other designers, there is individuality in their work which is important while creating art. In all work of art I strongly believe that the individual is always

present; one’s experience or thought process or growth can all become the hallmark of the artist work.

Can such a thought or experience be taught in an institution? What makes for a good Art and Design Institution? This is what I’m about to find out in SCAD. Will I be convinced that SCAD can direct the artist to gain their own unique language? Will SCAD throw up stimulating dialogues of the practices of art and design?

Browsing through their website I get the impression that they are dedicated to helping their students excel in their chosen field. The programmes offered are vast and diverse ranging from a programme that is well known like fashion designing to one I have never heard of; equestrian design.

What is equestrian design and what are the possibilities for such a subject? It is extremely exciting to enter unknown territories and see new possibilities opening up.

I’ll be keeping my eyes

and ears open for such new programmes which might just be a subject to some of you who might want to explore.

The college campus life according to their website is not only work but encouraging diversity of mind, intellect and culture.

Besides all of that college life in SCAD sounds like one big party where everyone is invited to share in the fun.

I’ll be talking to the people at SCAD to find out more about their college and what they are learning and taking away from being at SCAD. I’ll also be talking to the other people invited to the retreat about their expectation from this trip and their ideas and impressions of their experience of being in the SCAD retreat.

Lots and lots of questions to ask.

NB: This write up is my (Zubeni) personal diary of the retreat and my opinions and impressions are my own which I will be updating everyday of the trip. So keep reading. (@notonlypassportsize.wordpress.com)

akistani actor Fawad Khan found himself on the receiving end of a political backlash, post the recent Uri attacks. The ongoing tension between the India-Pakistan governments also lead to the ban of Pakistani artists working in the film industry. Apart from all the bad blood being spilt, Fawad Khan’s name has indefinitely cropped up whether it is condemning the attacks or sneaking out of India amidst all the drama. On Friday, the actor, who has been accused of speaking against the Bollywood film industry and India at large, broke his silence and cleared his stance on the same.

He issued an official statement on his social networking site saying, “I’ve been in Lahore since July+ as my wife and I had been expecting our second child.

I’ve received numerous requests from the media and from well wishers worldwide asking me for my thoughts on the sad incidents+ that took place in the past few weeks.

As a father of two little children, I pray and wish like many others that together we can build and live in a more peaceful world. I believe we owe it to our children who will shape our tomorrow. This is the first time I have spoken on the matter. Please disregard any other words attributed to me during this time because I have not said them. I thank all my fans and fellow artists from Pakistan, India and people in general all over the world who have shown continued support for their belief in love and understanding to unite a divisive world.”

Mumbai beat wasteful NE United

Mumbai city’s Diego Forlan celebrates with team-mates after scoring a goal against NorthEast United FC on Friday.

M um b ai , O ct 7 (Agencies): NorthEast United tasted their first defeat in this season of the Indian Super League as Mumbai City FC were saved by some terrific no-nonsense defending to win 1-0 at the Andheri Sports Complex on Friday.

United were the pacesetters in the game as Roberto Volpato’s goal was tested with a series of shots, but Mumbai survived the onslaught without conceding a goal. United’s Romaric got the first shot on target with a sweetly struck volley but Volpato positioned himself well to grab the ball.

Mumbai’s Aiborlang Khongjee, out of nowhere, unleashed a shot from 25 yards out. The ball bounced awkwardly in front of Subrata Paul, who just about did enough to parry the ball behind at the far post.

The Highlanders though, never stopped short of creating chances. Emiliano Alfaro got into the game with a cut shot but it was saved but the ball bounced off a Mumbai’s defender and went behind.

Mumbai went ahead against the run of play. Reagan Singh brought down Pronay Halder and Mumbai got a penalty. Forlan, who was invisible for large spells in the game, stepped and struck the penalty into the roof of the net, leaving Paul no chance.

Yusa missed another simple chance as Alfaro found him free on the left, inside the box, with a clever pass that eluded two Mumbai defenders.

Alfaro also got a chance, with five minutes left on the clock as he ran to the byline, but was caught in two minds whether to play the cut-back or go for goal.

Mumbai’s resolute defence held on to make it two wins from two.

Italy draw Spain in WC qualifier Turin, Oct 7 (IANS): Italy came from behind to hold Spain to a 1-1 draw in their football World Cup qualifier. Spain could not translate their clear superiority into goals and the first half ended 0-0.

The Spanish were equally impressive in the opening minutes of the second half and the much-deserved goal came in the 55th minute as veteran Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon came out to cut off a long ball from Sergio Busquets.

The usually rock-solid Gigi whiffed on the clearance and ended up watching from the ground as Vitolo launched the ball into the net.

The goal was the signal for the Azzurri to abandon their fear-driven conservative strategy and begin pressing.

From that point on, La Roja found themselves scrambling to contain the Italian onslaught and the disarray in front of their net led to a foul by Sergio Ramos on Eder in the area.

Initially waving off the penalty, referee Felix Brych pointed to the spot after conferring with the line judge and Daniele De Rossi converted with assurance to bring Italy level in the 82nd minute.

Narsingh Yadav’s doping SC bars BCCI from releasing funds to states case referred to CBI

Lodha Committee.
