Ayodhya judgement likely in mid-Nov Supreme Court sets Oct 18 deadline for completion of hearing NEW DELHI, SEP 18 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday set an October 18 deadline for conclusion of hearings in the protracted Ram-Janmabhoomi Babri Masjid land title dispute, a move that has raised the possibility of a verdict in the politically sensitive case in the middle of November.

The target date for completion of arguments by both the Hindu and Muslim sides assumes significance as Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, who is heading the five-judge Constitution bench hearing the case, is due to demit office on November 17.

The apex court also said the parties to the dispute can amicably resolve the matter through mediation if they want to but told lawyers from both the sides that it wanted to conclude the day-to-day hearings by October 18 so that the judges get almost four weeks time to write the judgment.

DoPN cautions Kohima public DIMAPUR, SEP 18 (NPN): Department of power, transmission division, Kohima has informed that “conversion of 33 kV Kohima Ring Main feeder to G.I Lattice Towers between New Secretariat to Kiyake” passing through New Secretariat area, New Medical College and Kiyake would be test charged at the rated voltage on September 20, 2019 at 7am and would remain charged thereafter. The department has, therefore, cautioned the public not to touch the said line nor go near it.

Govt deptts owe Rs.2.18 cr to DoPN

DIMAPUR, SEP 18 (NPN): Department of Power Nagaland (DoPN), which released the list of defaulting government departments that have failed to clear their electricity, Wednesday said that the total outstanding amount upto June 2019 was Rs.2.18 crore. In a press release, chief engineer (D&R) KK Awomi has requested the responsible departments to clear the dues failing which the department would disconnect the power supply to their establishment without further notice after 15 days from the date of publishing of notice.

it had to decide the matter pending before it.

The court, which on March 8 referred the matter for mediation, had asked for in-camera proceedings to be completed within eight weeks, but later granted time till August 15 after the panel’s earlier report said the mediators were “optimistic” about an amicable solution.

The top court fixed the seat for mediation process in Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, around 7 km from Ayodhya, and said adequate arrangements, including the venue of the mediation, place of stay of the mediators, their security, travel should be forthwith arranged by the state government.

It had perused a report about the progress of mediation process till July 18 and said its contents will remain confidential.

Fourteen appeals have been filed in the apex court against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment, delivered in four civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among the three parties -- the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.

PAC confronts parallel tax system Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, SEP 18 (NPN): There were few trucks passing through New Field, Burma Camp and Dillai check gates on Wednesday which happened to be ‘Vishwa Karma puja’ on the third day of the ongoing ‘Operation Check Gate’ launched by the Public Action Committee (PAC) with volunteers from various tribe-affiliates of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD).

However, those “authorised” collectors acting on behalf of or contract-leased by the geology & mining , forest and veterinary & animal husbandry departments were merrily carrying out their job of overcharging but issuing receipts for much less amount.

This was discovered at the New Field check gate where collectors or contractleasees of the departments of geology & mining and forests were still collecting taxes separately for the same items such as sand from nearby Karbi Anglong. It may be noted that both departments have authorised tax collections on similar items- marble, granite, sand, stone chips etc separately.

PAC had barred both

departments from such collections till both clarify on the reasons and legality for collecting royalty on similar items such as marble, granite etc transported from other parts of India which have been taxed under GST. Even when the two departments were yet to clarify their stands, their collectors were still charging royalty tax from various trucks at the check gate. PAC volunteers prevented a collector of forest department from collecting tax. When asked he said the order to collect royalty was issued by a “Ranger” and to share the amount with the geology & mining department. The collector could not show the letter issued by the Ranger when asked to do so.

In another incident, whe n vo lunte e r s we r e

questioning the driver of a Maruti van (AS 09-8454) transporting poultry to Dimapur, he showed a letter under “To Whom It May Concern” purportedly issued by a functionary of one particular Naga political group dated June 6,2019.

In the letter the functionary declared ownership of the van and requesting all tax collectors to exempt the driver from paying any tax as it was his own local enterprise.

PAC volunteers seized the document and said they would release it only after further investigation.

RESOLUTIONS Meanwhile, PAC has issued a four-point resolution adopted at its meeting with apex tribe hohos on Wednesday in Dimapur.

Never asked for imposing Hindi: Amit Shah Committed to conclude Naga

Fuel prices see steepest hike since July 5

A view of the Supreme Court in New Delhi, August 28, 2019. (PTI)

The Court on Tuesday asked the counsels for the Hindu and Muslim parties to inform it about a tentative “time schedule” for concluding their arguments.

The Constitution bench, which also comprised Justices S A Bobde, D Y Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S A Nazeer, also said it has received a letter from former apex court judge F M I Kalifulla, who was heading the threemember mediation panel, in which it was stated that some parties have written

NEW DELHI, SEP 18 (AGENCIES): Amid a raging debate over his appeal for Hindi as the common language across the country, Home Minister Amit Shah Wednesday said he never asked for imposing Hindi over other languages but proposed that other than one’s mother tongue, there should be a common second language and that should be Hindi.

“I never asked for imposing Hindi over other regional languages and had only requested for learning Hindi as the second language after one’s mother tongue. I myself come from a non-Hindi state of Gujarat. If some people want to do politics, it’s their choice,” ANI quoted him as saying.

Speaking at an event in Ranchi, Shah said his speech at a Hindi Diwas event had been misconstrued. Stating that he too hailed from Gujarat, where Gujarati and not Hindi, is the primary

to him for resumption of the mediation process.

“There is an ancillary issue. We have received a letter that some parties want to settle the matter by way of mediation,” the bench said, adding they may do so and the proceedings before the mediation panel can remain confidential.

The bench said the day-to-day proceedings in the land dispute case have reached “an advanced stage” and will continue.

The apex court on August 6 commenced day-

to-day proceedings in the sensitive land dispute case as mediation proceedings initiated to find the amicable resolution had failed.

The court had taken note of the report of the three-member panel, also comprising spiritual guru and founder of the Art of Living foundation Sri Sri Ravishankar and senior advocate and renowned mediator Sriram Panchu, that mediation proceedings, which went on for about four months, did not result in any final settlement and

language, he said: “People should carefully listen to my speech (delivered on Hindi Diwas). If one wants to do politics, they are free to do so. But I had repeatedly stated (in the speech) that Indian languages should be strengthened.

A child can study better and his mental development assured if he takes his lessons in his mothertongue. By mother-tongue, I did not mean Hindi. Every

state has its own language.

I only requested that if there is a second language being learnt it should be Hindi. What is wrong in this? I don’t understand.”

Shah said that someday, a campaign to strengthen local languages will have to be undertaken, “or else we will end up like Australia and Africa”.

“When I meet people from Australia or New Zealand, I ask them what

is their native language.

They can’t meet my eye.

We should not reach a point where we lose our local languages. So local languages should be strengthened but Hindi learnt alongside,” he stated.

Last week, Shah had pitched for Hindi as a common language for the country, reigniting the debate on the issue even as regional satraps in the south said they would oppose any attempt to “impose” the language. Many states, even the BJP-ruled Karnataka, had openly resented his statement.

DMK president M K Stalin has asked his party workers to get ready for another anti-Hindi agitation. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the Hindi language was not the mother tongue of a majority of Indians. Actorturned-politician Kamal Haasan protested against Hindi imposition.

Accord by year end: Madhav

DIMAPUR, SEP 18 (NPN): BJP national general secretary and in charge of North East and Kashmir, Ram Madhav, Wednesday said the BJP government at the Centre was committed to conclude the Naga Accord by the end of this year so that peace and prosperity would prevail in Nagaland.

Madhav said this while addressing the Jan Jagaran Abhiyan - public awareness campaign and Sampark Abhiyan on Article 370, which was organised by BJP Nagaland State at Wokha town and attended by a host of BJP leaders from across the state.

Madhav said “Nagaland is in safe hands and there was no comparison between Article 370 and Article 371 as Article 370 did not recognise the sovereignty and integrity of the Indian Government, whereas Article 371 A does not question the Indian government and

the Indian State”. Stating that there was a BJP government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi and there was a BJP-led government in Nagaland, Madhav said therefore nobody can touch any of the special provisions provided to the state of Nagaland under the Constitution of India.

He said the future of Nagaland is in very safe hands with Modi and the present BJP leadership in the state.

Referring to its alliance partner NDPP, Madhav asserted that the seat sharing arrangement between the two parties was “a gentlemanly agreement” and would complete its term.

Also, speaking at the meeting, deputy chief minister Y Patton and BJP state president and minister Temjen Imna Along urged upon all the party workers to spread the message of hope and peace across the state.

NEW DELHI, SEP 18 (PTI): Petrol and diesel prices were on Wednesday hiked by 24-25 paise per litre, the steepest increase since July 5 Union Budget, as a fallout of turmoil in global oil markets following drone attacks on Saudi Arabian crude oil facilities.

Petrol price was increased by 25 paise per litre to Rs 72.42 and diesel by 24 paise to Rs 65.82 in the Delhi market, which is sort of a national benchmark, according to price information available from stateowned fuel retailers. This is the biggest single-day hike since the July 5 Budget of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman that raised rates by almost Rs 2.50 a litre.

The hike on Wednesday followed a 14 paise a litre increase in price of petrol on Tuesday and 15 paise per litre rise in diesel rate.

2 Assam cops suspended for custodial torture of 3 women VAHAN 4.0 system: ANTA G uwahati / N ew Delhi, Sep 18 (agenies): Two cops, including a woman constable, have been suspended for allegedly torturing three women in police custody in Assam’s Darrang district.

In a horrific incident, a pregnant Muslim woman and her two sisters were allegedly stripped and tortured inside a police station in Assam’s Darrang district.

Kicked in her belly by a police officer, the pregnant woman started bleeding and lost her baby due to the torture.

The incident took place on September 8 and came to light only on Tuesday.

After the alleged torture, the pregnant woman was admitted to a hospital where she lost the baby due to miscarriage. According to reports, Darrang district police picked up three sis-

ters - Minuwara Begum, Sanuwara and Rumela from Sixmile area in Guwahati on September 8 night in connection with a kidnapping case and took them to Burha police outpost.

In a complaint filed with the Darrang district Superintendent of Police on September 10 by Minuwara Begum, she has alleged that the three of them were picked up from their homes by a police team led by the officer-in-charge of Burha police outpost, Mahendra Sarma, on September 8 night. In the complaint they have said that they were taken to the Burha police outpost where the Mahendra Sarma and a lady constable physically tortured them the whole night. They were also stripped naked.

Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal suspended Officer in-charge of

Burha police station Mahendra Sarmah and Constable Binita Boro following a complaint filed by three sisters with Darrang Superintendent of Police on September 11 alleging that they were tortured and stripped by the police in custody on September 6. A inquiry has also been ordered into the allegations.

According to the complaint, the police had detained the three sisters based on a FIR filed by a girl’s family that their brother had eloped with their daughter ealier on September 6. The sisters were beaten black and blue and also allegedly stripped by the police in custody. The torture led one of the sisters, who was pregnant, to deliver a stillborn baby. They were released by the police the same evening after the boy surrendered with the girl.

NCW seeks stern action

The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Wednesday sought stern action from Assam Police against officials who allegedly stripped and beat three sisters at a police outpost.

According to a media report, the three sisters have accused the Assam Police of custodial torture, including being stripped, kicked and beaten with lathis, at a police outpost in Darrang district.

Reportedly, one of the women was pregnant and suffered a miscarriage due to the alleged torture.

The women were picked up by police on September 9 in connection with a case registered against their brother for allegedly abducting a Hindu woman, the media report said.

NCW, which took suo moto cognisance of

the issue, condemned the treatment meted out to the women.

The commission has asked Assam director general of police to take up the matter urgently and ensure that the accused officials are given stern punishment, the NCW said in a statement.

It said it is “anguished” by such alleged misconduct on part of the police officials. The police officials, the NCW said, ill-treated the women not involved in any crime but suspected to know the whereabouts of an alleged criminal.

The role of police officials is to help uphold law and order impartially, and protect people, especially women, it said. The commission is of the view that these officials should be dealt with very strongly so that they do not repeat such an act in future, it said.

units support MDCVOA

MOKOKCHUNG, SEP 18 (NPN): Various units of All Nagaland Taxi Association (ANTA) have extended support to Mokokchung District Commercial Vehicle Owners Association (MDCVOA)’s opposition to the introduction of VAHAN 4.0 system.

Representatives of ANTA Tuensang, Longleng and Zunheboto and Mokokchung held a joint meeting with MDCVOA representatives at Mokokchung town and deliberated at length the current issues relating to Vahaan 4.0 system.

At the meeting, the house after thorough deliberation decided to extend support to MDCVOA. It was learnt that ANTA Wokha and Mon also gave verbal assurance that they extend support with regard

to VAHAN 4.0 system.

It may be mentioned that on September 3, 2019 MDCVOA had served a seven-day ultimatum on the Regional Transport Officer (RTO) Mokokchung to remove/delete VAHAN 4.0 system from their application and re-install the previous application before VAHAN 4.0 was introduced.

MDCVOA had threatened that all commercial vehicles would stop plying (Chaka bandh) indefinitely if the authority failed to do so within the stipulated period.

However, the bandh has been deferred for ten days after the request made by the deputy commissioner (DC) Mokokchung during a joint meeting. The extended deadline ends on September 20, 2019.

Seminar on child rights & protection Girl child day celebrated in Mon Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 18 (NPN): Considering that only 27% of Indian children live in urban zones and an overwhelming 73% live in rural areas, chairperson Nagaland State Commission for Protection of Child Rights Awan Konyak said it was important to expand access to social protection programmes for children.

Addressing at the oneday seminar on child rights and protection for government teachers, organized by the department of School Education, Wednesday at its conference hall, the chairperson said when a good portion of a student’s day was spent in schools, the responsibility of the school to provide child protection becomes top priority.

Konyak said one way to go forward would be to train all the employees of the school by creating and implementing a comprehensive child protection strategy which adhere to the key principle that children have to be safeguarded from any harm.

She reminded that according to Child Rights and You (CRY) over 33

million children in India, between the ages of 5 and 18 years, work as child laborers at tea stalls, factories, construction sites and even as domestic help and they are vulnerable to exploitation that can affect the course of the rest of their lives.

Asserting that schooling was the one experience that most children worldwide have in common and the means to prepare the young for the future, however she regretted that schooling was not always a positive experience for children. She elaborated that this included being

forced into unfurnished classrooms, hunger, thirst or sick or it can mean being frightened by threats of punishment, humiliation, bullying or even violence at the hands of teachers and fellow pupils. These she said thwarted learning, making them worse.

Asserting that visionaries of the world understood that peace meant guaranteeing every person certain rights that are conditional for humanity, Konyak said education being one of the most important all children deserve a chance to grow up in a safe and secure environ-

ment that helps them to learn.

She also informed that United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) defined child rights as the minimum entitlements and freedoms that should be afforded to every citizen below the age of 18 regardless of race, national origin, color, gender, language, religion, opinions, origin, wealth, birth status, disability, or other characteristics.

ONGC fined Rs 2.05 cr for green norm violation in Assam GUWAHATI, SEP 18 (PTI): The Pollution Control Board, Assam has slapped a fine of Rs 2.05 crore on PSU firm Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) for allegedly violating an order by the Supreme Court and causing pollution to the environment.

The board’s order was issued considering violation of environmental laws in six wells of the state-owned energy behemoth in Assam.

“Pollution Control Board, Assam, is constrained to inform you that you have nonchalantly violated the provisions of law in force causing pollution to the environment “Environmental compensation fine amounting to Rs 2,04,90,000 only has been assessed as per formula provided by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), Principal Bench,” said the order dated September 5, 2019. ONGC has been asked to deposit the money within one month of issuance of the order.

When contacted, ONGC officials declined to make comments immediately.

Before taking the action, the Pollution Control Board, Assam (PCBA) had issued a show cause notice to the company on June 28 this year and ONGC replied to it on July 18.

“Your reply to the show cause notice is not based on the facts and findings of the inspection carried out during July 6 to July 8, 2019 by engineers and scientists deputed from Head Office cum Central Laboratory of this board,” the order said.

It also said that the drilling operation of the six well units were “either completed or in operation without installing any primary effluent treatment plant” (PETP) at the sites.

“During inspection by the officials of the board’s Regional Laboratory cum Office, at Sivasagar, it has been observed that there is seepage/leakage in the waste pits of the wells. Waste pits were full of effluent and without having any treatment facility,” PCBA said.

It also mentioned that the Supreme Court, in its judgment passed on February 22, 2017, had directed

all the effluent discharging units to install PETP within three months, which was by May 22, 2017.

“Thereby you have violated the aforementioned order of the Supreme Court of India pertaining to installation of primary effluent treatment plant,” the board told ONGC. As per the “analysis report” of samples collected during the inspection by the officials, it was found that parameters such as “oil and grease and total suspended solids” are beyond the permissible limits in all cases, which indicate “your failure in pollution control measures”, the order said.

Though the penalty was for six wells, but the board informed ONGC that the Regional Laboratory cum Office had reported there was no mobile ETP for treatment of the effluent of the waste pits in eight wells.

“You are directed to take necessary measures for proper treatment of the effluent and arrange for reclamation of the completed drill sites,” it added.

party leaders had supported the government on important issues.

“Atal Bihari Vajpayee had supported former prime minister Indira Gandhi after winning the Bangladesh Liberation war.

“Atal ji also put Indias side at the United Nations on Kashmir issue when former prime minister P V Narasimha asked him to go and put Indias side,” Shah said. With assembly election in Jharkhand expected shortly, the BJP president sought to know what the Congress-led UPA government had given to the state in terms of developmental initiatives.

The BJP president said that the Congress had not accepted Jharkhand peoples

state and moving forward with developmental initiatives,” he said.

Shah gave an account to the people of how the central and state governments developed the sectors like electricity, housing, health care, toilet construction, free of cost gas connection and drinking water, two battalions comprising Paharia tribes and setting up nearly 70 Eklavya schools the current regime, and demanded that the Congress should also give an account what it had done during its ten years rule.

“I would like to ask what has the UPA given in its ten years r ule to Jharkhand? While the 13th Finance Commission had given only 55 thousand and 200 crore to Jharkhand, the 14th Finance commission under Narendra Modi gave 2.5 times more funds, giving one lakh and forty-five thousand crore,” Shah said.

He said after the “Johar Jan Ashirwad Yatra” of Chief Minister Raghubar Das, which he kicked off Wednesday from Jamatra, will criss-cross all the 81 assembly constituencies and when it reaches Ranchi, the BJP would once again form a majority government.

SRINAGAR, SEP 18 (PTI): Armed militants are trying to spread fear among residents and defy the administration by forcibly shutting shops, sometimes by walking into the premises and intimidating owners, through threats made in posters that appear on walls overnight or by sealing shutters with tape, officials here say.

Jammu and Kashmir Police has officially kept mum with no one willing to come on record, but officials said on condition of anonymity that the situation could be slipping out of their hands. The incidents of terrorists sealing shops and posters, both handwritten and typed, being pasted in markets, mosques and other areas with do and don’t diktats from different terror groups, have become a regular feature in Kashmir Valley, they said.

There have also been instances of armed militants walking into shops to warn owners to keep shutters down and barging into Jammu and Kashmir Bank branches in south Kashmir to ask employees to stay away from work, they said.

Two shops in Modri-

gam village in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district were recently sealed by adhesive tapes with a seal of the banned terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen, sending shock waves in the area. And it is not just about a far-flung village or one terror group, officials said.

In Karan Nagar market in Srinagar’s Civil Lines area, the words ‘LW’ were emblazoned on two shops followed by an insignia of the Hizbul Mujahideen.

Police deciphered ‘LW’ to mean ‘last warning’ as the two shops had defied the militants, officials said.

“We want to open markets but who will guarantee our security when we return home. We have held talks with senior police officials privately but no solution to our problems is forthcoming,” said a shopkeeper who did not want to be identified.

It’s a common refrain in the Valley, which has been under virtual lockdown since August 5, when the Centre announced the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and the bifurcation of the state into the union territories of

Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.

Normal life remains hit with a communications clampdown, markets and other business establishments closed, and public transport largely off the roads. “We do not understand why police is ineffective and not acting against those creating mischief,” said another shopkeeper.

In Ganderbal in central Kashmir and in Srinagar’s downtown Fathekadal area, posters came up on behalf of the terror outfit Al Badar asking them to socially boycott the families of the policemen. Several police officials said the posters were pasted at night when security deployment was low. In another instance, a poster in English from the Musa Baba group was pasted on the wall of a shop at Srinagar’s Bemina Bazar asking shopkeepers to sell essential commodities till 8.30 am.

Officials admitted that such posters were dictating the defiance against the administration. Many people were taking them seriously and preferring to remain indoors, they said.

ISRO thanks all Indians for support Fire breaks out at UCO Bank in Bengaluru’s MG Road after it lost contact with lander sky,” the Indian Space Research Organisation said.

Prime Minister Modi, who had flown down to Bengaluru to watch the planned touchdown of Vikram, had told ISRO scientists not to get dejected and disheartened and said the country was proud of them.

“I see disappointment on your faces. No need to get dejected. We have learnt a lot,” Modi had said.

“These are moments to be courageous, and courageous we will be! We remain hopeful and will continue working hard on our space programme”, he had said.

Lander Vikram, with rover Pragyan housed inside it, lost communication with ground-stations during its final descent, just 2.1 kms above the lunar surface, minutes before the planned touch-down on the Moon.

Efforts to reestablish

the link have been going on since then. On September 8, ISRO had said the lander was spotted on the lunar surface by camera on-board of the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter.

Vikram had a hard-landing.

The lander, designed to execute a soft-landing on the lunar surface, and rover have a mission life of one Lunar day, which is equivalent to 14 earth days.

The space agency after losing contact with the lander had said that till date, 90 to 95% of the Chandrayaan-2 mission objectives have been accomplished and it would continue contribute to Lunar science, notwithstanding the loss of communication with the Lander. It had also noted that the precise launch and mission management has ensured a long life of almost 7 years instead of the planned one year for the orbiter.

Fortunately, there were no casualties and the Fire and Emergency Services reached the spot in time and put off the fire. According to the fire officials, the distress call came in around 2.54 pm and three fire tenders were rushed to the spot from fire station at Ashok Nagar. Chief Fire Officer Ramakrishna and

The students from the terrace were then asked to come down the building after which it was cordoned by the fire officers. The fire officials suspect the cause of the fire to be off from a short circuit, but they have collected samples to ascertain the cause of the fire. The Cubbon Park police have registered a case and are awaiting reports from fire officials to pursue the case.

BENGALURU, SEP 18 (PTI): ISRO has expressed gratitude to Indians in the country and abroad for the support it received after the space agency lost contact with lander of Chandrayaan-2, minutes before touchdown on the Moon recently.

The space agency had got support from the entire nation, despite it losing communication with the lander ‘Vikram’ ahead of the touchdown on September 7, with people from all walks of life praising ISRO and its scientists for the achievement.

“Thank you for standing by us. We will continue to keep going forward propelled by the hopes and dreams of Indians across the world!” ISRO tweeted on Tuesday.

“Thank you for inspiring us to always aim for the

“We were on the second floor and all of a sudden smoke started billowing up which caused panic among students,” said Shyamala, one of the students. “We came in the morning for our coaching on Embedded In C and IOT classes. The first session was over in the morning, and after lunch, while the second session was on, the fire started near the Bescom meters of a bank on the ground floor,” said Sushmitha and Yeshaswini L, two other students.

Since the bank was on the ground floor, all the bank staff rushed out of the building almost immediately. As the strength of students were

NEW DELHI, SEP 18 (AGENCIES): Pakistan has turned down an overflight request by India for Prime Minister Modi’s upcoming US trip. This request, according to officials, is as per protocol, since Air India One is not a commercial flight but a VIP one. The longer route that AI One will now take will increase the flying time for the Delhi-Frankfurt (fuelling halt for onward flight to Houston) leg of AI One by 45-50 minutes.

Pakistan had earlier this month turned down a similar request by the President, Ram Nath Kovind when he flew to Europe.

The alternate route from Delhi bypassing Pakistan airspace means flying near Mumbai-Arabian Sea (steering clear Pakistan airspace around Karachi) — Muscat — and then to Europe. The straight route would have entailed flying from Delhi to Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran to Europe.

Pakistan had closed its airspace for overflying on February 27 following Indian Air Force’s Balakot strike and had re-opened the same after 138 days on July 16. During this time all flights between Delhi and the west took the longer route.

In June Prime Minister Modi flew from Delhi to Bishkek. Due to the longer route, AI One covered a distance of 5,475 km with a block time (time from when aircraft door closes for departure to when it opens at destination on landing) of 6 hours and 30 minutes.

“Our stand has been to remove Article 370 ever since it had been there,” Shah said and asked “why the Congress felt a ‘stomach ache’ following its abrogation?”. Making a scathing attack at the Congress, he said the party had also opposed and sought evidence after surgical strike.

“They (Congress) should tell the people which direction they want to go,” he added.

Shah said even while being in the opposition, his

decades-old wishes for a separate state, but it was for prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee who had fulfilled their dreams.

“I dont hesitate to say that Atal ji created Jharkhand and Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji nursed it towards development during the last five years,” Shah said. Jharkhand was carved out of Bihar and made a separate state in 2000 by the then NDA government of A B Vajpayee.

Referring to how the previous Arjun Munda-led governments in the state had been overthrown due to lack of majority, Shah said the people had given a stable government in 2014 under the leadership of Chief Minister Raghubar Das and the state government worked for their development.

“There is Modi government above and Raghubar Das government below. The double engine governments have changed Jharkhand, and the evidence is that the people of Jharkhand gave 12 of the 14 Lok Sabha seats to Modi government in the Lok Sabha elections,” Shah said.

“Naxalism was there, but now Jharkhand is headed towards almost naxal-free

JAMTARA (JHARKHAND), SEP 18 (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi showed Pakistan its place by abrogating Article 370 and 35A and established that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India.

Shah also said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should tell people of Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Haryana, when he goes there, whether he was with the decision to abrogate Article 370. Assembly elections are due in Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Haryana this year.

Addressing a public meeting after launching the BJP’s ‘Johar Jan Ashirwad Yatra’, the BJP president said his party stood in favour of removing Article 370 ever since it had been there, and asked why the Congress felt a “stomach ache” following its annulment.

Located in santhal paragana near Dumka, Jamtara is more than 250 km from the capital Ranchi.

Post-mortem

The Apex Hoho as the collective Strength (Voice) of the Nagas

T

ince the massive public rallies in several parts of Nagaland against “unabated, illegal and unauthorised tax collections” that was kickstarted by ACAUT Nagaland in 2013 in Dimapur, the Public Action Committee(PAC) of the Naga Council Dimapur(NCD) after consistently highlighting the menace has taken up the challenge to take the bull by the horns with a week-long anti-tax collection drive at various check gates beginning from September 16,2019. Unabated, illegal and extortionate taxes at check gates had earned Nagaland notoriety as transport operators of goods-laden trucks , except a handful, refuse to enter Nagaland and pass through its infamous check gates. The daily collections could be as high as approximately over Rs.10 lakh per day from several hundred trucks. The efforts of the PAC volunteers from various Naga tribes in Dimapur, is laudable and public by large should support their untiring efforts. The task of checking such illegal collections is humungous. It is so because, those involved have, after PAC launched the drive, devised a strategy to avoid check gates by setting up their mobile collection counters at either Khatkhati or Dillai bazaar in Karbi Anglong or alongside roads at several places in Dimapur, bypassing the check gates. PAC convenor Vekhosayi Nyekha, told media that the timing of the PAC drive became less effective as trucks were not permitted entry after 5 a.m. when the PAC volunteers began vigil from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. at various check gates. Again the trucks were permitted entry only after 10 p.m. when the PAC volunteers ended their vigil( from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m). This has proved a setback since it deprived PAC of ensuring that no collections were done. The PAC needs to review its timing and so also the police in order to ensure that the drive becomes effective otherwise it defeat the purpose. As stated earlier, besides various Naga political groups, some government departments are also vying for a piece of the cake. The collections are multiplied by the number of groups and agencies. Worse, after a truck has to pay tax to various groups, the receiver has to pay godown tax. From the godowns, the items distributed to dealers and retailers again attract tax.

Government departments like Forest and Geology & Mining impose different taxes on the same items at the check gates. It is reported that the two departments including veterinary have leased collections to ‘professionals’ who overcharge to earn a neat sum.

In addition, the PAC also needs to seriously consider the other aspect of illegal collections and syndication within the town. There is also a syndication of items in the market where “dealers” are appointed by various parallel governments and from whom retailers are made to purchase the items for re-sale. For decades since the late 80s people of Nagaland have been expressing serious concern over growth of corruption in the high places and extortion on the ground but it is unfortunate that instead, the degree seems to be growing. PAC has taken up a drive that is difficult and which will certainly arouse strong reactions. The state government on the other hand, has failed to perform its constitutional duty and which is a crying shame. It is shocking the elected members have not addressed these problems and instead talking only about unity and political solution.

ime has changed, peoples’ perspective and priority have altered, and understanding and expectation have changed. Are the changed mindset of the people still in conformity to the collective vision for a common goal of the people? Looking back into the history of the Naga TOGETHERNESS and how it had evolved over the years, to me, is quite revealing which I would like to share with general readers.

It is good to know the past to determine what we need to do for the future.

1. The British Influence on the Naga: Historically, the advent of British occupation of the Naga territories and subsequent consolidation into a single administrative jurisdiction, and subsequent introduction of certain positive measures, such as, prohibiting head hunting practice, construction of a net work of bridle paths connecting the interior adm units etc, were the first step enabling the Nagas to come together. Further, appointing DB (Dobasha) in the administrative centres and GBs (Gaon Bora) in all villages who were knowledgeable in their customary law and traditional ethos, and Christianization of the Nagas had all been contributing factors enabling the divided Nagas to come together. These were the positive contribution of the British Administration. For the first time such measures had brought about a dramatic change in their life style and attitude and come to realise the advantage of living together without fear of one another.

2. The Naga Club: over the years, with their free movement and free social interaction cutting across the village or tribal boundaries had made the Naga realised the need of a larger platform to air the issues of com-

His Temptation and Ours

We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. —Hebrews 4:15 Until we are born again, the only kind of temptation we understand is the kind mentioned in James 1:14, “Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.” But through regeneration we are lifted into another realm where there are other temptations to face, namely, the kind of temptations our Lord faced. The temptations of Jesus had no appeal to us as unbelievers because they were not at home in our human nature. Our Lord’s temptations and ours are in different realms until we are born again and become His brothers. The temptations of Jesus are not those of a mere man, but the temptations of God as Man. Through regeneration, the Son of God is formed in us (see Galatians 4:19), and in our physical life He has the same setting that He had on earth. Satan does not tempt us just to make us do wrong things— he tempts us to make us lose what God has put into us through regeneration, namely, the possibility of being of value to God. He does not come to us on the premise of tempting us to sin, but on the premise of shifting our point of view, and only the Spirit of God can detect this as a temptation of the devil.

Temptation means a test of the possessions held within the inner, spiritual part of our being by a power outside us and foreign to us. This makes the temptation of our Lord explainable. After Jesus’ baptism, having accepted His mission of being the One “who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29) He “was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness” (Matthew 4:1) and into the testing devices of the devil. Yet He did not become weary or exhausted.

He went through the temptation “without sin,” and He retained all the possessions of His spiritual nature completely intact.

mon interest and to know each other more closely.

This is how the Naga Club was formed at Kohima in 1918. The Club was further enriched by Naga Labour Corps returnees joining the Club with their exposure and experiences in Europe during the 1st W War. The Naga Club had then represented the collective voice of the Nagas.

Its notable contribution had been the famous Memorandum presented to the Simon Commission (the Indian Statutory Commission) on 10th January 1920 at Kohima demanding before that the Nagas should be excluded from the new reform scheme and be left ‘alone” as they were before when the British leaves India. Their representation (Memorandum) was a success as the Naga territory was declared “Excluded Area” in the government of India Act of 1935, keeping outside the purview of any provincial legislated laws but kept directly under the control of the British administration, the Governor.

3. The Naga Nationalist Council (NNC): The Naga Hills District Council formed under the initiative of the last British Deputy Commissioner, Kohima Sir Pausey was renamed as the Naga Nationalist Organisation (NNC) in 1945 at Wokha session. Then the NNC had taken over the responsibility of representing “the collective Voice” of the Naga in Socio-political matter. The NNC team met the British government cabinet committee members in Delhi in April 1946 and firmly conveyed to them that the Nagas political destiny should not be arbitrarily decided without consulting the Nagas. Their representation was honoured by sending the then Governor of Assam Sir Akbar Hyder Ali as the representative of the govern-

ment of India to Kohima to discuss political future of the Nagas as desired. He had concluded the historic 9 point Agreement with the NNC members representing the collective aspiration of the Nagas at Kohima in June 1947.

The Agreement was an article of faith for the Nagas and believed in honouring it by the parties in letter and spirit. Unfortunately, in spite of repeated assurances from the governor’s office giving false hope all along, on 9th Nov 1949 the than Governor Shri Gopinth Bordoli himself admitted that the Government of India no longer recognised the 9 point agreement. It was the most shocking news, an ultimate betrayal by the government of India which was taken as the core insult to the Nagas.

On 24/1/1950 the NNC informed the GOI and all foreign Embassies that the Naga do not accept the Constitution of India reaffirming the declaration of Naga Independent day on 14th August 1947.

Subsequently, the NNC was declared as a secessionist organisation and all hell was let loosed by the Indian Army committing heinous crimes indiscriminately on the innocent Naga villagers but were protected by draconian laws like The Armed Forces Special Powers Act 1958.etc.

4. The Naga Peoples’ Convention: Since the NNC was not visibly operating, the Naga Peoples’ Convention (NPC) was emerged to represent the ‘Voice of the Naga’ They had in their 3rd meeting at Mokokchung, in Oct 1957, drawn up the 16 point memorandum which was later converted into 16 points Agreement between the government of India and Naga convention Team with certain modification. Thus, the Nagaland State was

created out of this political agreement which is unique to Nagaland state, but it was opposed by a section of the Nagas who believed in nationhood rather than the statehood.

The State hood had brought many beneficial socio-economic developmental activities and privileges to the Nagas. Many jobs were created bringing employment to the people.

However, the long term negative impacts on the Naga society outweigh the positive initial gains especially in matters of Naga political movement for a nation in the making, instead it had deepen the divide in the Naga society seriously affecting the unity effort.

For, (a) The Divide were between: (i) the Nagas of Nagaland Vs Nagas outside, (ii) the Indian supporters Vs the Naga supporters resulting into an immediate political assassination starting with the killing of Dr. Imkongmeren in a broad daylight at Mokokchung. He was the first president of the Naga Convention and had just return from Delhi after finalisation of Nagaland state creation. (b) Boundary; A hasty, arbitrary and haphazard fixation of the newly created State boundary declaring the unverified 1925 boundary line of the erstwhile Naga Hills district with the neighbouring districts of Assam as the constitutional State boundary. (It was an arbitrary line fixed by the British for their administrative convenience only). For this arbitrariness, right from the day one, border dispute with Assam started for which no solution is in sight and unless the government is serious about it Nagaland may lose at the end and remain an emotional unfulfilled dream.

The lofty dream of integration of Naga inhabited contiguous area into

one consolidated Naga autonomous region is also becoming an elusive distant dream. These controversies with no visible solutions are mainly the offshoots of the state formation. The geographical and administrative divide is now percolating into mental divide among the Naga people in general which is weakening the feeling of oneness and goodwill toward each other.

On the hind side, the Naga convention leaders were knowingly or otherwise trapped in an appeasement ploy of the government. It was clearly an act of political expediency to pre-empt and disable the growing influence of Naga political movement and consolidation of Naga unity. It was a strategy of the detractors planned right at the time of creation of the state. It was thus destined to create more problems in the long run rather than solving the problem. In this regard, BM Malik (X-IB Director) has pertinently remarked in his book that ‘the formation of Nagaland state in the present form was to break the Naga solidarity. Serious collective effort is call for to take conscious possible corrective measures to salvage the Naga society from a permanent divide.

5. The Apex Naga Hoho:15th Nov. 1994, Wokha.- After the formation of the Nagaland state, for quite a long time, the collective Naga voice at the apex level had been missing to take up issues of common concern on any matters.

It was under the aegis of Lotha Hoho, various Naga tribal representatives were assembled at Wokha once again on 15/11/94. The convener Dr TM Lotha had, made a pertinent introductory remark that the Nagas felt, ‘we are one with pride and a sense of belonging and that should be preserved

and promoted further’. In pursuance of that direction, they put up two important agendas for deliberation.

That were (a) the feasibility of forming an Apex Naga Organisation consists of tribal hohos. (b) To collectively take up the AssamNagaland Border crisis .The summit had also discussed with concern the growing dissension among the Naga national workers(UG) weakening the Naga national movement. They appealed for tolerance and reconciliation among themselves.

The 2nd Summit, Kohima on 15/6/1995:- the APO president has emphasised upon the need for a Neutral Apex Naga Body consisting of all Nagas including those from outside Nagaland regardless of political or religious affiliation or status. A highest Nonpolitical and Non-partisan forum of the people can be an effective bridge to unite the divided Nagas again. He appealed to the gathering to see that the formation of a common platform becomes a reality.

The issues taken up were (a) for unity of UG factions for early political solution.(b) protection of Naga territorial integrity in the line of traditional boundaries.

The 3rd Summit at Phek on 12-4/3/1996:-In the Summit 7 (seven) important resolutions were passed relating to, stoppage of factional fights, repealing of ‘Black law’ in operation in Nagaland, sending Naga delegates to Delhi to appeal to the central leaders to agree for unconditional political talk, and to admit the Naga tribes from other states mainly from Manipur into the Hoho fold, to finalise the Hoho constitution and to hold the next summit at Mokokchung.

(To be concluded) T. N. Mannen IAS (Rtrd)

Why do the Naga want a separate flag? and during the colonial Period, it did not take part in the political history of modern India.

If India would deal the Northeast Hill People magnanimously, honestly, strongly and wisely, she need not fear the trouble of the Northwestern Fron-

tier trouble of India during Churchill’s days or of Pakistan today and of India today, if not there may be climate-change trouble in the Northeast in future.

The Naga wants a National Flag because they are a distinctive People in India.

Sir,

To make road safer, MV (Amendment) Act 2019 has come w.e.f. 1st Sep. For layman, traffic checking is all about challan. But social media platforms are flooded with hilarious jokes and reactions. And people probably enjoyed with acceptance. It proposes a huge increase in penalties and making owners criminally liable for juvenile. The most significant is to provide cashless treatment of victims during golden hour. It defines a Good Samaritan who renders emergency assistance.

The Act empowers government to ask manufacturers to recall vehicles. Apart from Users and Vehicles, the Act focuses on road infrastructure. It has provisions of fine on contractors in case of potholes.

People take traffic laws very lightly. There have been instances where VVIPs break the laws. Intelligent traffic system is required to catch violators. Apex Court ruled that NHAI cannot collect toll from commuters if the road is in bad shape. However, there are penalties for overloading vehicles. Traffic rules and regulations are to assure the smooth flowing of vehicles. There are unscientific speed breakers. Western countries rather have STOP sign. Our city suffers from transportation handicap with tangled plans. Infrastructure hasn’t kept pace with time. The roads are taken away by parking/ encroachments. People don’t follow lane discipline as police don’t crackdown.

The rules are never implemented with good spirit instead forcing fines. Public transports are the most disobedient. Road users violate road markings/signals.

Are we aware of prohibition of high beams within city limits? Prohibition of blow horn and judicious use of siren by ambulance are necessary. Construction of flyovers, subways, highway engineering is those immediate steps to be taken into consideration. Technology can play a key role to smooth flow of traffic. We need to treat roads as airways. Hope Amendments will address all these issues. Yours etc, Kamal Baruah, Guwahati kamal.baruah@yahoo.com newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

Mamata Banerjee meets PM Modi

Mamata Banerjee and Narendra Modi at the later’s residence in Delhi, Wednesday.

Confidence of investors shaken but govt Azad, Patel meet Chidambaram in Tihar jail refuses to acknowledge truth: Priyanka NEW DELHI, SEP 18 (PTI): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday attacked the government over the state of the economy, saying the confidence of investors is “shaken” but the Modi dispensation is refusing to acknowledge the truth.

The Congress general secretary also cited a media report which claimed that after pouring USD 45 billion into India’s stock market over the past six years on hopes that Modi would unleash the country’s economic potential, international money managers have sold USD 4.5 billion of Indian shares since June.

“By showing glitter, saying 5 trillion, 5 trillion, everyday or by doing media’s headline management, economy cannot be improved. Investors do not come by sponsoring events abroad,” Priyanka

Delhi govt’s oddukxkyS.M even scheme plea refused NAGALAND eq[;ky; % yqekeh

NEW DELHI, SEP 18 (PTI): National Green Tribunal on Wednesday refused to entertain a plea challenging the decision of the AAP government to implement odd-even road rationing scheme in the national capital from November 4-15.

A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel questioned the maintainability of the plea and “dismissed it as withdrawn”.

“Under which law of the land is this plea maintainable,” the bench said.

The plea filed by advocate Gaurav Kumar Bansal said CPCB did an assessment of impact of odd-even scheme on air quality of Delhi and ambient air quality of the city was found to be more deteriorated than the one when the said restriction was not in place.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal had said the odd-even scheme was part of the seven-point ‘Parali Pradushan’ action plan that also includes mass distribution of anti-pollution masks, mechanised sweeping and water sprinkling on roads, tree plantation, and special plans for 12 pollution hotspots in Delhi.

Gandhi said in an apparent dig at Prime Minister Modi’s upcoming diaspora event in Houston.

The confidence of investors is “shaken” and the foundation of economic investment has “cracked”, she said in a tweet in Hindi with the hashtag ‘BJP bad for business’.

“But the BJP government is refusing to acknowledge this truth. This slowdown is a speed breaker in the direction of becoming an economic superpower.

Without improving this situation, all other razzmatazz is useless,” Priyanka Gandhi said in another tweet.

She has been relentlessly attacking the government over the issue of economy in the last few days and demanding answers from the government over the economic slowdown.

NEW DELHI, SEP 18 (AGENCIES): Karnataka Congress leader D K Shivakumar told a Delhi court Wednesday that there was no point keeping him in “endless custody” in the money laundering case, since he was not accused of “terrorism” or any other heinous offence.

Shivakumar’s counsels, A M Singhvi and Mukul Rohatgi, told the court that he had already given information about his around Rs 800 crore property in his election affidavit and “if I (politician) gave wrong information, it can lead to prosecution”.

Special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar posted the matter for hearing on September 19 after the Enforcement Directorate’s counsel, Amit Mahajan, sought an adjournment.

Unless you’re giving us all one Jalsa each, don’t sound so ridiculous pls,” said one message on Twitter.

Activist Zoru Bhathena, who has moved the Bombay High Court against the metro project, offered to take the actor on a tour of Aarey. She said in a tweet: “Sir, let us take you for a visit to Aarey. It will change your perception, Sir. When will you join us, Sir. Aarey is waiting”. The Bombay High Court is currently hearing a petition against cutting down trees in Aarey colony, a thickly forested area that adjoins the Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

The proposal to cut down Aarey’s trees has drawn protests from citizenry and environmentalists.

Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray has opposed the project, and has also warned the state government that the proposal would meet the same fate as that of the Nanar refinery in Ratnagiri district—a proposed project of Rs 3 lakh crore that had to be abandoned after the Sena joined locals to protest against it.

MUMBAI, SEP 18 (AGENCIES): Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s tweet appreciating Mumbai’s metro has drawn him into the Aarey metro row, where protests are growing against the government’s proposal to cut down 2,700 trees to make way for the ambitious project.

Several students held placards that read, among other things, “A few gardens do not make a forest”, as they stood outside Bachchan’s residence protesting his tweets. The protests however were peacefully, and although there was police deployment in the area, protesters were not evicted.

The tweet that brought on the latest controversy was one in which Bachchan both appreciated the metro rail and also advised people to grow more trees. “Friend of mine had a medical emergency, decided to take metro instead of his car .. came back very impressed .. said was faster, convenient and most efficient .. Solution for Pollution ...Grow more trees .. I did in my garden .. have you,” Bachchan had tweeted on Tuesday.

It was the first time, since PM Modi came to power for the second term, that Mamata Banerjee met the prime minister.

Earlier, the state government had written a letter to the Home Ministry regarding the same. The TMC delegation also met PM Modi on this issue in the last session.

NEW DELHI, SEP 18 (PTI): Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved a first-of-its-kind project under which the history of the country’s borders will be written, the Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.

Singh held a meeting with officials of the Indian Council of Historical Research, the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, the Directorate General of Archives, the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Defence here on Tuesday in this regard.

The project will cover various aspects, including the tracing, making, unmaking and shifting of borders, the role of the security forces, of the borderland people, encompassing their ethnicity, culture and socio-economic aspects of their lives.

The project is expected to be completed within 2 years.

“The Defence Minister emphasised the importance of writing the history of the Indian borders, reiterating that it would provide a better understanding of the borders to the public in general and officials in particular,” a statement issued by the ministry said.

Further, Mamata Banerjee distanced herself from any political question or any statement on former Kolkata top cop Rajeev Kumar. She strictly kept her briefing to what was discussed with PM Modi.

“Don’t ask me all these nuisance questions, didn’t discuss all this with PM Modi,” Mamata Banerjee said.

While leaving for Delhi on Tuesday, Mamata told reporters at the airport that she had to meet the prime minister to claim the dues the Centre owes West Bengal under the various Centre-state jointly sponsored programmes.

Mamata Banerjee had wanted to meet PM Modi earlier at a time when former Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar (he’s presently the West Bengal CID additional director general) was making rounds of courts to ensure the shield of protection against custodial interrogation by the CBI was not lifted.

On the other hand, auto sales have dropped to a record low and India’s biggest carmaker Maruti Suzuki’s sales slumped by over 30% in the last months.

The decision comes after demands from several quarters to ban Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, which includes e-cigarettes, Heat-Not-Burn devices, Vape, e-Sheesha, e-Nicotine Flavoured Hookah, and other similar devices.

E-cigarettes do not burn tobacco but heats the liquid chemicals into vapour or steam that a person inhales. E-cigarettes are considered harmful to health.

The government would introduce a bill in Parliament in the winter session, she said.

Mumbai, Sep 18 (PTI): Snapping its two-day falling streak, the rupee rebounded 54 paise to finish at 71.24 against the US dollarNSE -2.07 % on Wednesday as sliding crude oil prices eased pressure off emerging market currencies.

However, unabated foreign fund outflows capped the gains, forex traders said.

Global equities and oil markets stabilised after Saudi Arabia’s energy minister said production capacity at its plant targeted by drone attacks over the weekend would be fully restored by the end of the month.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange, the rupee opened at 71.47 and surged to an intra-day high of 71.17 against the US dollar. The local unit finally settled at 71.24, higher by 54 paise over its previous close of 71.78.

“Indian rupee led gains in emerging market Asian currencies as crude prices eased after Saudi Arabia partially restored production at its damaged oil plant,” HDFC Securities Head PCG and Capital Markets Strategy V K Sharma said.

Sharma further said lower crude oil prices calmed concerns about inflation and the fiscal side which will provide room for the RBI to lower interest rate in the coming October meet.

Finance Secretary Rajiv Kumar said this will enable bankers to take genuine and commercially prudent decision without fear.

The panel in its previous avatar was called the ‘Advisory Board on Bank, Commercial and Financial Frauds’. The Advisory Board for Banking Frauds (ABBF), formed in consultation with the RBI, would function as the first level of examination of all large fraud cases before recommendations or references are made to the investigative agencies by the respective public sector banks (PSBs), CVC said in an order.

The four-member board’s jurisdiction would be confined to those cases involving the level of officers of general manager and above in the PSB in case of allegation of fraud

New Delhi, Sep 18 (PTI): Anti-corruption agency CVC has set up the Advisory Board for Banking Frauds, headed by former Vigilance Commissioner T M Bhasin, to examine bank frauds of over Rs 50 crore and recommend actions, in line with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s call for protecting honest decision making.

This development will instill a sense of protection among bankers from prosecution for genuine decisions, and promote lending.

It will decide whether the case is a criminal act or a genuine commercial decision and accordingly, recommend the future course of action.

When asked about the move of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC),

in a borrowal account, it said.

Lenders would refer all large fraud cases above Rs 50 crore to the board and on receipt of its recommendation or advice, the bank concerned would take further action in such matter, it said. “(The) Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) may also refer any case or matter to the board where it has any issue or difficulty or in technical matters with the PSB concerned,” it said.

Other members of the panel are Madhusudan Prasad, former Urban Development Secretary; D K Pathak, former director general of the Border Security Force; and Suresh N Patel, former MD and CEO of Andhra Bank.

The tenure of the chairman and members would be of two years, the order said. It further said the board will also periodically carry out frauds analysis in the financial system and give inputs for policy formulation related to the fraud to the RBI. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will provide required secretarial services, logistic and analytical support along with the necessary funding to the board headquartered in Delhi.

Inflammatory, says Pak on Jaishankar’s remark on PoK

Mohammad Faisal (File)

Islamabad, Sep 18 (IANS): Pakistan has condemned Indian Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar’s statement that Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) is a part of India and New Delhi will have its physical jurisdiction some day. Pakistan called the statement “inflammatory” and “irresponsible”.

According to reports in the Pakistani media, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal strongly condemned

the statement and said, “we reject the inflammatory and irresponsible remarks made by the Indian external affairs minister regarding Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir,” “These remarks are an obvious manifestation of India’s utter frustration over the continued international censure of its egregious human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir,” Faisal added.

Faisal claimed that India was “committing state terrorism” as nearly a million military personnel have incarcerated more than 8 million Kashmiris in one of the world’s largest prisons”.

Pakistan urged the international community to take note of India’s “aggressive posturing” and added that such remarks have the potential to further escalate tensions and jeopardise peace and security in the region.

Washington, Sep 18 (IANS): Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist, has told the US politicians that they were not doing enough to combat climate change.

At a meeting of the Senate climate crisis task force on Tuesday, lawmakers praised a group of young activists for their leadership and display of wisdom far beyond their years. They then asked the teenagers for advice on how Congress could combat climate change.

Thunberg, who has inspired young people across the world to demand more action to combat the impact of global warming, told the lawmakers that she was a student, not a scientist - or a senator. “ P l e a s e s ave yo u r praise. We don’t want it.

Don’t invite us here to just tell us how inspiring we are without actually doing anything about it because it doesn’t lead to anything,” she told the Senate climate task force, according to the K

The pair of bombings also injected a new level of alarm into the presidential race, which the Taliban has denounced and vowed to disrupt. A Taliban statement Tuesday said the group had targeted “a rally for the fake presidential election” and noted that it had previously warned people to stay away from campaign rallies and other election events.

The attacks came one day after a U.S. Special Forces soldier was killed by

small-arms fire during an operation in Wardak province, an insurgent-infested area 30 miles south of Kabul. U.S. military officials said U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Jeremy W. Griffin, 41, of Greenbrier, Tenn., died of his wounds.

Griffin’s death raised to 17 the number of U.S. combat fatalities in Afghanistan this year, already higher than the 13 combat deaths in all of 2018. More than 2,400 U.S. service members have died in the conflict since 2001.

“We [are] going to focus on the elections,” he said. “The most important thing is the political thing in Afghanistan and making sure that to the extent possible we are supporting the [Afghan security forces] and maximizing the number of people who have access to the polls.”

Ghani, who is seeking a second five-year term, has campaigned steadily, flying to more than a dozen provinces to hold rallies. All have been held under heavy security, with attendees searched multiple times.

The event in Charikar, held on a field inside a police training compound, was the first to be directly targeted. Health officials said women and children were among the victims.

The town is in Parwan province, one of four among Afghanistan’s 34 provinces that election officials had expected to be the safest.

will lose the top job even if his party remains in power.

Benny Gantz, the head of Blue and White, has said he’s interested in a national unity government — but only if Likud dumps Netanyahu. This is the fight of Netanyahu’s political life — and his personal one, too. Because if he loses, he will have no way to protect himself from imminent indictments on corruption and bribery charges.

A suicide bomber on a motorcycle detonated outside the entrance to rally , a quarter-mile away, killing 26 people and wounding more than 30

Until early this month, U.S.-Taliban peace talks seemed to be nearing a framework agreement in which the United States would have withdrawn about 5,000 troops in the coming months in exchange for Taliban officials agreeing to renounce alQaeda and prevent it from operating on Afghan soil.

The Ghani government has remained determined to hold elections despite President Trump’s abrupt decision to cancel the talks and public concerns about violence.

Officials have pledged to protect the polls with about 70,000 security forces, but they have also decided to close more than 2,500 of about 7,400 polling sites in provinces where insurgents are active. The Taliban is estimated to control or influence nearly half of the country’s 400 districts, most of them rural.

JERUSALEM, SEP 18 (agencies): The September Israeli election results are in — and it’s still not clear who the country’s next prime minister will be. But the results are the biggest threat to incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hold on power since he took office in 2009, reports vox.com.

With over 90 percent of the vote now counted, the centrist Blue and White party looks to have won the largest number of seats in Israel’s parliament, called the Knesset — 32 out of a total of 120. Netanyahu’s rightwing Likud came in a close second, with 31 seats.

Obviously, neither one of these parties has enough for a parliamentary majority on its own. Which means they will either have to make some kind of power-sharing deal with each other and form what’s called a “national unity” government or else cobble together some

CHARIKAR, SEP 18 (AGENCIES): President Ashraf Ghani stepped out of an armored car, accepted bouquets from costumed schoolgirls and strode onto the stage of an outdoor campaign rally just before noon Tuesday, beaming and raising his arms as thousands of people cheered and waved miniature Afghan flags, reports The Washington Post..

Moments later, a suicide bomber on a motorcycle detonated outside the entrance to the event, a quarter-mile away, killing 26 people and wounding more than 30. Ghani and his running mate in the Sept. 28 elections, Amrullah Saleh, were unharmed.

Less than an hour afterward, in Kabul, the capital 35 miles south, a second suicide bombing near the U.S. Embassy and the Afghan Defense Ministry killed 22 people and wounded 38, officials said. The attacks, both claimed by Taliban insurgents, made Tuesday the deadliest day for civilians in Afghanistan since U.S.-Taliban peace talks

ilmmaker Christopher Nolan has started shooting for his action drama ‘Tenet’ with Robert Pattinson and Indian actress Dimple Kapadia here. The team was spotted shooting for the project at the Gateway of India on Monday.

Nolan was joined by Dimple and Pattinson. They also shot at Colaba Causeway, Royal Bombay Yacht Club and on the streets near the famous Taj Mahal Hotel.

Several pictures from the shoot have gone viral on the Internet. In one image, Nolan is seen wearing a garland, and is busy guiding his team. In another, he is seen on a ferry wearing an orange life-jacket, and in one he is seen cranking the camera while an assistant follows him with a large umbrella. Pattinson is seen in a crisp formal shirt, beige suit and sunglasses. In one image, he is engrossed in a conversation with someone from the team on the set.

Dimple is seen getting ready for the shot with large clips on her hair. She wore a salwar suit and a red shawl.

The cast and crew will shoot for the film in Mumbai for 10 days. They will film action sequences in countries including Italy, UK and Estonia. “Tenet” is slated to release in 2020. (IANS)

Launched by former President Pranab Mukherjee in New Delhi on September 10, the award distribution event took place in Dubai on September 14 amid the presence of a galaxy of Bollywood stars and diplomats from around the world.

Mandy Moore returns to music after a decade

S

inger-actress Mandy Moore has released her first song in a decade. Titled “When I wasn’t watching”, the number is from her new album, the name of which is yet to be declared. The album is slated for release early next year.

“The idea of diving back into music after so much time and personal change was really intimidating to me for a while,” a report in “variety.com” quoted Moore as saying.

“But then I finally realised: I’m the only person who can make this move.

It all has to start with me,” she added.

The song has been produced by longtime collaborator Mike Viola and the video has been directed

by Lauren Dukoff. The release is significant because it is her first music since her former husband Ryan Adams faced multiple accusations of sexual harassment.

“I think everyone’s had the experience of feeling lost and not quite understanding how you’ve found yourself at a certain

point in your life. And I think the key is not to judge yourself for that. I’m a big believer in the idea that what you’ve journeyed through is ultimately going to factor into the person you become, and how you’ll greet whatever big challenge you face next,” Moore asserted.

The actress, who is looking forward to the premiere of her show “This Is Us”, began recording her upcoming album earlier this year. She created the album’s lyrics on her own and recorded each song live with a full band set-up.

“No one’s playing to a click track -- it’s all happening live on the floor, which gives everything a magic and spontaneity that’s so

different from what I’ve done on any other record,” Moore said, adding: “And on top of that we’re recording to tape, so there’s no reworking or editing: a take is a take. At first that was scary, but now it’s become a fun sort of pressure that really fuels me.”

Moore will release another single before the end of the year.

“I very much feel like I’m at the helm of the ship now, where I’m stepping back into music completely on my own terms. Everything that’s happened up until this point has gotten me to where I am today, and I’m so excited to just keep moving forward,” she said.

China Open: Sindhu enters 2nd round

Changzhou (China), Sep 18 (IANS): P.V. Sindhu on Wednesday cruised to the second round of the 2019 China Open with a straight-game win over Chinese Olympic gold medallist Li Xuerui.

In a match that lasted 34 minutes, Sindhu beat Li Xuerui 21-18, 21-12 to reach the second round where she will face either Thailand’s Pompawee Chonchuwong or Canada’s Michelle Li. Sindhu took a fourpoint lead first up before Li fought back to get the first game level at 9-9.

After the interval, Sindhu took control of the game.

Although Li managed to save four game points in the end, Sindhu took the game 21-18.

Li started the second game on the front foot.

Sindhu was trailing 6-2 at one point but once the reigning world champion got into her groove, there was no looking back. Sindhu raced into the lead and ended up winning the second game by a comfortable margin of nine points.

Saina Nehwal crashes out

P.V. Sindhu Sindhu’s fellow World Championship medallist Sai Praneeth also booked a place in the second round with a hard fought three game win over Thailand’s Suppanyu Avihingsanon 21-19, 21-23, 21-14. He will next face China’s Lu Ghuangzu.

Earlier, Saina Nehwal was knocked out after a defeat to Thailand’s Busanan Ongbamrungphan while

mixed doubles pair N Sikki Reddy and Pranaav Jerry Chopra lost to German pair of Mark Lamsfuss and Isabel Hertrich. Reddy will next be featuring in women’s doubles with Ashwini Ponnappa later in the day. Other Indians yet to play their matches are Parupalli Kashyap in men’s singles and Manu Attri and Sumeeth Reddy in men’s doubles.

Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal was knocked out of the ongoing China Open World Tour Super 1000 tournament on Wednesday after suffering a crushing defeat to Thailand’s Busanan Ongbamrungphan in the opening round.

The eight-seeded Indian lost 10-21, 17-21 to World No. 8 in just 44 minutes at the Olympic Sports Center Xincheng Gymnasium. It was her second consecutive defeat against the Thai shuttler.

China Open has been one tour nament where Saina has had a decent outing in the past. The 29year-old triumphed Changzhou in 2014 and went on to reach the final the very next year, where she fell to 2012 Olympic champion Li Xuerui.

However, on Wednesday, the London Olympic bronze medallist didn’t seem to be in any sort of rhythm as out of the 69 points played, she could only manage to win 27

while the remaining 42 went to Busanan’s way.

2019 hasn’t been a great year for the former World No.1. Ever since her comeback from injury, things haven’t panned out the way she would have liked. Having played the New Zealand Open in May, she was forced to stay away from the court for more than two months due to fitness issues.

When she made a return at the Thailand Open, Saina, who was only the second Indian to be World No. 1 after Prakash Padukone till then in 2015, managed to win just one match before bowing out to Sayaka Takahashi.

At the World Championships held in Basel, Switzerland, she made a secondround exit as she went down to Mia Blichfeldt.

The only competition she won was the Indonesia Masters in January where she defeated Olympic gold medallist Carolina Marin, who was forced to retire in the summit clash.

Panghal, Kaushik in semis at AIBA New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS): Asian Games gold medallist Amit Panghal (52kg) and Commonwealth Games silver medallist Manish Kaushik (63kg) confirmed medals for India by entering the semi-finals at the AIBA Mens World Championships in Ekaterinburg, Russia on Wednesday. Panghal and Kaushik join Vijender Singh, Vikas Krishan, Shiva Thapa and Gaurav Bidhuri as the only other Indian boxers to have medalled at this prestigious event.

This is the first time that more than one Indian boxer will be on the podium at a single edition of the World Championships. In the last edition in 2017, only Gaurav Bidhuri was able to bring home a bantamweight bronze medal.

It, however, could not be a flawless day for India as Sanjeet (91kg) went down fighting in the quarter-finals.

Up against a familiar opponent, Carlo Paalam of the Philippines, whom Panghal beat at the Asian Games last year, the Asian champion did not put a foot wrong.

Liverpool, Chelsea lose Champions League openers

London, Sep 18 (AFP): Holders Liverpool began their defence of the Champions League trophy with a defeat against Napoli on Tuesday, while one missed spot-kick condemned Chelsea to defeat against Valencia and another came to Barcelona’s rescue.

Kohli leads India to T20 win over South Africa Imchaba memorial trophy update

NEW DELHI, Sep 18 (Agencies): India captain Virat Kohli led from the front with an unbeaten 72 to help secure his team’s comprehensive seven-wicket victory over South Africa in the second Twenty20 International on Wednesday.

According to Reuters, after disciplined Indian bowling restricted the touring side to a below-par 149-5, Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan (40) helped the hosts chase down the target with an over to spare in the north Indian city of Mohali.

After the series opener in Dharamsala was washed out, Quinton de Kock made his debut as South Africa’s Twenty20 captain as they explore leadership options before the 20-overs World Cup next year.

The left-hander topscored with 52 and Temba Bavuma contributed 49 but the subsequent South African batsmen could not capitalise on the decent start.

De Kock and Bavuma helped South Africa overcome the early setback with

a fluent partnership.

De Kock raced to his fifty before Kohli produced a magnificent piece of fielding, running to his left from mid-off to take a tumbling one-handed catch and send

back the skipper.

Ravindra Jadeja caught Rassie van der Dussen off his own bowling to peg back South Africa who found boundaries hard to come by.

Bavuma, making his Twenty20 debut along with Anrich Nortje and Bjorn Fortuin, fell just short of his fifty, foxed by Chahar’s slower delivery.

The touring side milked 16 runs of the final over from Navdeep Saini but fell short of the 150mark.

India’s chase got off to a fast start as Rohit Sharma greeted Nortje with two sixes in the debutant’s first over. Andile Phehlukwayo dismissed Rohit before Kohli and Dhawan effectively killed off the contest, Kohli hitting three sixes in his 52-ball knock.

Bengaluru hosts the third and final match on Sunday before the teams clash in a three-test series next month.

B RIEF S CO RES: India: 151 for 3 in 19 overs (Virat Kohli 72 not out, Shikhar Dhawan 40; Tabraiz Shamsi 1/19); South Africa: 149 for 5 in 20 overs (Quinton de Kock 52, Temba Bavuma 49; Deepak Chahar 2/22).

Kohima, Sep 18 (NPN): Nagaland badminton team has reached Gangtok, Sikkim on Wednesday to participate in the North East Zone inter-State Badminton Championship.

The championship will be held at the Indoor Badminton Hall in Paljor

Stadium complex, Gangtok from September 19 to 22.

A 20-member team of Nagaland Badminton Association is led by veteran player Joseph Sumi as team coach along with Nagaland Badminton Association officials R. Thsanso Yim and Amardeep.

The championship will see international and top-

rated players from North Eastern States vying for the coveted title. The organiser is expecting around 160 players from all the Northeastern States for the championship.

The winners of the championship will also get direct entry in the national championship as zonal winner from five zones.

Tokyo, Sep 18 (AFP): Japanese tennis superstar Naomi Osaka beat qualifier Viktoriya Tomova of Bulgaria in straight sets on Wednesday to reach the Pan Pacific Open quarterfinals.

Making her first appearance at the tournament following a first-round bye, top seed Osaka outclassed Tomova, ranked 181st in the world, 7-5, 6-3 in Osaka, western Japan.

“I was a little nervous at the beginning,” admitted Osaka, seeking to clinch her first victory at the home event after being runner-up in 2016 and 2018.

Osaka, who crashed out of this month’s US Open in the last 16, started slowly, losing the first three games in the first set, but later found her rhythm with solid serves and crisp volleying to secure the first set.

Tomova’s quick court coverage caused Osaka difficulty throughout the match but in the end the two-time Grand Slam champion had too much power for her lowly opponent, serving a succession of rapid aces.

The 21-year-old, who was born in the city, said the cheers of her hometown fans helped her put in a solid performance.

N ur - S ultan ( K a zakhastan), Sep 18 (IANS): After becoming the first Indian wrestler to secure an Olympic quota for the 2020 Tokyo Games, Asian Games gold medallist Vinesh Phogat on Wednesday ended her medal drought at Wrestling World Championships by winning a bronze here.

Vinesh beat two-time world bronze medalist Maria Prevolaraki of Greece by fall in the bronze medal bout of 53 kg freestyle category. She is only the fourth Indian female wrestler to win a medal at the

Vinesh Phogat meet. Earlier, Vinesh won both her matches in the repechage round of the 53-kg weight category to seal a quota for Tokyo Olympics. Vinesh first defeated former World

Championships bronze medallist Yuliya Khalvadzhy of Ukraine 5-0 and then went on to upset World silver medalist Sarah Hildebrandt 8-2 in the second bout of the repechage round to enter bronze medal playoff bout where she faced Greece’s two-time World Championships medallist Maria Prevolaraki.

The 25-year-old, on Tuesday, began her quest for a maiden medal from the world event with a thunderous 13-0 win over Rio Olympic bronze medallist Sofia Mattsson of Sweden.

Even though it sparked hopes of gold, her next bout against the reigning world champion Mayu Mukaida of Japan proved tough. The Japanese kept the Indian on the backfoot and prevented her from showing her usual aggression, resulting in a 0-7 loss.

This was the second consecutive defeat that Vinesh suffered at the hands of Mukaida. However, with Mukaida managing to reach the final, Vinesh was presented with yet another shot at a medal. And this time the Indian didn’t walk off the mat empty handed.

India U16 boys thrash Turkmenistan 5-0

India under-16 players at the AFC U-16 championship qualifiers.

Tashken t, S e p 1 8 (IANS): The India Under16 boys’ team marched on to yet another win, this time defeating Central Asian side Turkmenistan 5-0 in their opening match of the AFC U-16 Championship Qualifiers, Group B, here on Wednesday.

Sridarth was the top performer, scoring a brace, while Shubho Paul was also not too far behind, scoring a first-half goal and providing an assist for Taison Singh in the second half.

Substitute Himanshu Jangra scored the remaining goal in

the second half. Playing at the Transport Institute Stadium, home to the reserve side of reigning Uzbekistan Super League champions Lokomotiv Tashkent, India looked to dominate their opponents from the first half itself.

While the ball seesawed up and down the pitch in the opening exchanges, India soon gained control of the match.

Both sides had a go at each other in the opening exchanges. While the likes of Anish Mazumder and Singson held off the Turk-

men attack, the combination of Pritam and Taison down the right flank, looked dangerous for India.

India had their first real chance when Sridarth was advanced inside the box, crossed it in for Shubho, who scuffed his header over the bar from inside the sixyard box.

Just ahead of the halfhour mark, however, the Indians took the early lead through winger Shubho.

Sridarth was played through into the Turkmen box from the right, as he made his way through, sold a dummy,

and pulled the trigger. While his shot was initially saved, Shubho was on hand to turn in the rebound.

Turkmenistan attempted to mount a comeback for large parts of the first half but the Indian midfield duo of Yoihenba and Sibajit maintained solidity in the middle of the park.

Just a few minutes ahead of the half-time break, Sridarth doubled the lead.

Taison forced himself into the area, played a cutback, which was duly turned in

by Sridarth, from inside the six-yard box.

They may have gone into the break with a twogoal lead, but Bibiano’s boys picked up right where they left off. A few minutes into the restart, Taison Singh added the third, as he smashed in a Shubho Paul cross from just outside the far post. It was after this goal, that India gaffer Bibiano Fernandes brought on striker Himanshu Jangra in place of Taison, pushing Sridarth out to the wing, and providing some physicality upfront.

The physical striker had an immediate effect as he was played through into the box by Maheson and he went on to finish with great aplomb.

Sridarth finished off the scoring late in injury time, as he plonked it over the keeper to make it five.
