Claimants for renaming PM’s new address

New Delhi, Sep 21 (AGENCIES): Some sort of controversy has arisen over who proposed that Delhi’s Race Course Road, or RCR as it is known, should be renamed as Lok Kalyan Marg. While Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed today he was behind the name, New Delhi MP, Meenakshi Lekhi, has rubbished Kejriwal’s claim.

According to Lekhi, after she proposed that RCR be renamed as Ekatma Marg yesterday, she received hundreds of calls from people all over that the name should be easy to understand. At the meeting, therefore, she pointed this out and the next name that was proposed was Guru Gobind Singh Marg. Kejriwal too seconded the name, but then it was pointed out that there already is a lane by that name in Delhi. There was then apparently a discussion on what and it is then that Mrs Lekhi proposed Lok Kalyan Marg.

PIL on oil for Nagas: Lotha Hoho

URGES ELECTED LEADERS NOT TO MISLEAD NAGAS BUT TO BE REALISTIC Dimapur, Sep 21 (NPN): Lotha Hoho (LH) has vowed to pursue its PIL on NP&NG Rules, while reacting to the statement made by parliamentary secretary Geology& Mining (G&M) Dr. Imtiwapang Aier while launching the state’s first coal stockyard at Tuli (Longnakba Lenden) recently.

LH chairman Mhao Humtsoe and general secretary Er. Mhondamo Ovung, in a joint statement, said they were astonished that certain elected leaders were spreading rumours that the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed

by Lotho Hoho on the Nagaland Petroleum & Natural Gas (NP&NG) “would amount to surrendering the provisions of Article 371A” as reported in the local media on September 19,2016.

They agreed with the Parliamentary Secretary’s speech, that coal and oil are for the socio-economic development of the people.

LH said it was on this issue that it filed the PIL, not against having NP&NG Regulations & Rules 2012 but to seek review and amendment of some provisions which were deemed as “anti land owners” in spite of Article 371A on ownership and transfer of land and its resources.

Lotha Hoho said, when Nagas are keen to uphold the provisions of Article 371A, why did the state government on July 21,2014 impose Section 144 CrPC to launch operations by Metropolitan Oil and Gas Private Limited (MoGPL) at Tssori Champang in violation of Art.371A? LH also recalled that when Lotha (then Kyong) Students Union submitted a memorandum to the NP&NG Board on June 25,2014, requesting the state government to reconsider permit issued to MoGPL; the government instead, brought MoGPL to the work site to launch exploration/extraction works on July 21,2014.

Due to this, it said LSU went to the venue to protest but the state government preempted by imposing Sec.144 CrPC to prevent them from reaching the site. Under cover of Sec.144 CrPC, LH said police assaulted student leaders when they tried to show their presence at the launching ceremony.

LH said MoGPL was launched in this manner, without the consent or participation of the people and asked if Nagas saw the episode created by the state as bestowing rights under Art.371A?

First shoulder replacement operation held at NHAK

Doctors carrying out the operation at NHAK

KOHIMA, SEP 21: A team of orthopaedic surgeons held the “first ever shoulder joint replacement operation” in a government hospital on the September 21.

The operation, held at Naga Hospital Authority Kohima (NHAK), was successfully carried out by Dr. Rokoleibi Khate, Dr. Gwalozu Thong, Dr. Kehousetuo Koutsu and Dr. Neilakuo Kire (surgeons) while Dr. Tiakala Walling was

the anaesthetist for the operation.

Dr. Gwalozu Thong said that the operation was carried out on a 40-year old policeman, who had an accident last year and broke the head of his humerus (arm bone). Though the initial operation was unsuccessful, Dr. Gwalozu said it was only in the second attempt that “the broken head of the bone was replaced by a prosthesis ordered from Delhi”.

Further, Lotha Hoho urged Nagas to understand that all 11 Oil Zones in Nagaland would be affected eventually. It asked people if individual PILs should be filed only after they are affected in order to streamline NP&NG to be land-owner friendly for all time to come?

LH maintained that it was doing what was best for the Nagas in filing the PIL and instead asked whether the leaders had ever read and understood the contents of the NP&NG Regulations and Rules 2012?

Instead of misleading the common Naga people by blaming the LH, the signatories urged the elected leaders on the need to understand that as Nagas, they should not barter away the future of their children for temporary gains.

On the parliamentary secretary’s advice that as the government was ever willing to listen and so why not negotiate with it; LH reminded that the government turned a deaf ear on seven(7) submissions starting from 2008 to 2015- Lotha Legislators (15/7/2008); Land Owners Union of Champang(22/1/2009); Lotha Hoho (then Kyong Hoho- 16/8/2012 and on 15/9/2012) and Lotha Students Union (20/7/2015).

LH reminded that (as Kyong Hoho) it had raised objections to some of the contents in the NP&NG Regulations and Rules 2012 by submitting draft modalities on 17/92012 to the Cabinet Sub Committee on NP&NG with suggestions but the Board did not even bother to discuss the matter but “arrogantly went ahead with the Regulations and Rules and then issued permit to the least competent firm –Metropolitan Oil & Gas Pvt Ltd (MoGPL) on February 28,2014 out of 22 other bidders.

“Let the Nagas judge whether the Nagaland state govt is ever willing to listen” when it remained adamant to various submissions of the Lotha people from July 15,2008 to July 20,2015 said LH. Further LH also pointed out that even the Ao Senden (July 27, 2012) and the ENPO (November 18,2012) had also rejected the NP & NG Regulations and Rule. It therefore asked, if Lotha land (Wokha district) was to be an “experimental playground” before the NP&NG was executed in other places?

LH also pointed out that the state government did not even invite it to the NP&NG Board consultative meet on (Cont’d on p-7)

RS member moots bill to declare Pak terrorist nation NEW DELHI, SEP 21 (AGENCIES): After US lawmakers moved a bill to declare Pakistan a terrorist nation, Rajya Sabha member Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Wednesday that he will submit a private members’ bill as well as a resolution to declare Pakistan a terrorist nation in a “couple of days”.

Chandrasekhar, an independent member of Rajya Sabha, told IANS he will submit the bill to Rajya Sabha Secretariat in a “couple of days” and has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking action in this regard. “The bill seeks to declare Pakistan a terrorist state and break all trade, economic and other relations with it,” Chandrasekhar told IANS. The bill and resolution are titled “Pakistan State Sponsor of Terror”. “ Basically, Pakistan has put itself in a position similar to North Korea by exporting terror. It should be boycotted,” he said. “As the world condemns Pakistan today, US lawmakers have also introduced a bill,” Chandrasekhar wrote in the letter.

He urged the government to consider his private members’ bill and resolution, and said: “It would be speedier and more efficient if the government takes the necessary executive and legislative steps to do the same.” “Pakistan currently enjoys the MFN (Most Favoured Nation) status with India and also has reasonably unfettered travel and economic access,” he said and urged the government to suspend these and use “economic” and “trade” tools along with diplomatic and military options to isolate Pakistan.

Budget reform: Cabinet clears merger of rail, general budgets To end non-Plan, Plan distinction N EW D ELHI , S EP 2 1 (IANS): India on Wednesday decided to bid adieu to three British-era legacies -- the 92 year-old practice of separate general and rail budgets by unifying them, ending the distinction between plan and non-plan expenditures and advancing the presentation date in Parliament from the last week of February.

“From the coming year, the Railway and the General budgets will be amalgamated.

There will be only one budget. Secondly, the distinction between plan and non-plan expenditure will be ended from next year. Consequently, there will be only one appropriation bill,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said here after a cabinet meeting, presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Finance Minister said over the years, the budget dynamics had undergone a sea change, with some ministries like Defence having more outlays than Railways.

“We will also complete the twin-budgetary exercise before March 31,” he said, alluding to the decision to also advance the date of tabling.

The decision to merge the two budgets, officials said, was mooted by Railway Minister

NEW DELHI, SEP 21 (AGENCIES): Australia, Canada and the UK have issued fresh advisories to their citizens travelling to India to avoid visiting parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, Nagaland, Tripura, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the India-Pakistan border, barring the Wagah border.

According to The Wire report, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the UK and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade also warned their citizens about the recent Cauvery disputerelated violence.

On September 16, the FCO updated its travel advisory cautioning its citizens “against all travel to Jammu and Kashmir with the exception of travel within the city of Jammu, travel by air to Jammu and travel within the region of Ladakh.” It also advised “against all but essential travel” to Srinagar and travel between the cities of Jammu and Srinagar on the JammuSrinagar national highway. The advisory said, “The tourist destinations of Phalgam, Gulmarg and Sonmarg fall within the areas to which the FCO advises against all travel.”

individual smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for ten years would typically spend about Rs. 100,000 in buying them.

Dr. Ravi said it was estimated that for every rupee earned as revenue (for the government) in sales of tobacco, Rs. 13 was lost in treatment related expenses and loss of productivity. He said that cervical cancer, which accounts for about 40% of cancers in women, and gastric cancer, which was a leading cancer in some of the registries in South India and the North East, was linked to infectious agents (the Human Papilloma

Virus for cervical cancer and H. pylori for gastric cancer) that could be prevented or treated.

Further, he pointed out that the incidence of breast and colorectal cancers was rising in the country. “These have been shown to be related to lifestyle and urbanization,” Dr.Ravi said. He said that public education and creating awareness about preventive measures and early detection possibilities was the key to primary prevention.

He added that activity need not necessarily involve oncologists or even physicians entirely.

Earlier, delivering over-

Suresh Prabhu and endorsed by official think tank NITI Aayog -- which also proposed the doing away of the distinction between plan and nonplan expenditure. The decision on the merger of two budgets will also save Indian Railways Rs 9,700 crore it pays as dividend to the exchequer.

Both Jaitley and Prabhu, during the press briefing, said that the distinct identity of the Indian Railways will be maintained -- including the freedom to raise resources via extrabudgetary means and fix tariff.

“Functional autonomy of the Railways will be maintained,” Jaitley said. “The government will also take an initiative to ensure there is a separate discussion on Railways during Budget Session,” he added.

“This is a historic step, matching global benchmark and best. This will help raise capital expenditure in Railways which will enhance connectivity in the country and boost economic growth,” Prabhu said, adding: “Our effort to leverage extra budgetary resources will continue.”

The Railways has seen a separate budget since 1924 when the British thought it necessary to focus on India’s most important infrastructure network. The Railways then accounted for 70 per cent of the total budget -- now pared down to just 15 per cent, on an average, of the country’s overall budget, the size of which

was around $300 billion for this fiscal. India Inc welcomed the decisions.

“Purely from a policy point of view, the cabinet decisions send a clear message that the government is orchestrating big bang reforms in a major way,” said CII Director General Chandrajt Banerjee. “Global and domestic business sentiment would get a further fillip and so would the environment for doing business in the country.” Jaitley also clarified on the proposed new date for budget presentation and said while it will be advanced, the decision will depend on a host of issues, notably state elections.

He, nonetheless, said the advancement is to ensure that the Finance Bill is passed in the first half of the Budget session, than spill over to the second half after a month-long recess.

Finance Ministry officials said after the abolition of the Planning Commission, the relevance of plan and non-plan expenditure is lost -- and a better indicator of productive and general expenditure would be a distinction under the heads of revenue and capital.

For long, non-plan expenditure is what the government earmarked for the so-called non-productive areas such as salaries, subsidies, loans and interest, while plan expenditure pertained to the money aside for productive purposes, like various developmental projects of ministries.

Australia, Canada, UK issue travel advisories for India; Nagaland included The same day, Global Affairs Canada also advised its citizens against travelling to “Jammu and Kashmir, with the exception of Ladakh via Manali or by air to Leh, due to sporadic terrorist activity and violent demonstrations.” Besides, “areas within the immediate vicinity of the border with Pakistan, in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Punjab, due to the possibility of landmines and unexploded ordnance, as well as unmarked border areas.”

It said, “The Wagah border crossing and towns farther from the border, such as Amritsar in Punjab and Bikaner and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, are excluded from this advisory.” FCO also kept Wagah out of the advisory.

In the case of the north eastern state, the countries’ advisories have asked their citizens to either cancel or reconsider their visit to these states citing recent militant attacks: the shooting of 14 people in a market in Assam’s Kokrajhar district this past August and the killing of 18 soldiers in Manipur’s Thoubal district last year. Global Affairs Canada advised against “non-essential travel” to “Ma-

Nagaland highest in Nasopharynx cancer: Report DIMAPUR, Sep 21 (NPN): As per the three-year report of Population Based Cancer Registry (PBCR) 2012-14, Nagaland has the number one prevalence of nasopharynx cancer or nasopharyngeal carcinoma in male and female, with an alarming rate of 15.2% and 6.8% rate per 100,000 populations respectively.

Referring to the report, the director of Cachar Cancer Hospital & Research Centre, Dr. Ravi Kannan, on Wednesday said that about 40% of cancers in men and 20% in women were related to tobacco in the Northeast. Speaking to Nagaland Post on the sideline of a workshop organised by National Cancer Grid (NCG) India here, Dr. Ravi said the cancer situation in Nagaland between 2012 to 2014 has reported 1361 cases out of which 815 males and 546 females for a population of about 21 lakhs.

He asserted that tobacco exposure for many years was required for cancer initiation.

Citing an example, he said an

view on workshop and NCG vision, Dr. Ravi said that NCG was an initiative of the Government of India funded by the Department of Atomic Energy, which has as its members over 85 institutions including cancer centres, medical colleges, patient advocacy groups and research institutions. He also said that the aim of NCG was to standardise cancer care in the country, help generate human resources and foster research.

He said that workshop would standardise pathology reporting across the country and thereby impact positively

on the quality of cancer surgery and help patients to access treatment across various centres seamlessly.

Dr. Ravi informed the gathering that such workshop has planned across each of the cities over the next two years and also planned to open learning tools on its website, organize webinars online, provide standard reporting formats and help organize QA/ QC programmes and offer help with difficult diagnoses/ second opinions.

Various detailed reports were presented at the workshop by speakers including Dr. Sangeeta Desai (professor department of pathology, Tata memorial centre, Mumbai), Dr. Ritesh Tapkire (head, department of surgical oncology, Cachar cancer hospital & research centre), Dr Aekta Shah (department of pathology, Tata memorial centre, Kolkata), Dr. Geetashree Mukharjee (professor department of pathology, Tata memorial centre, Kolkata). Earlier, the workshop opened with a welcome address by NMC president, Dr. L.M.Murry.

nipur and the areas of Arunachal Pradesh that border with Myanmar, due to the threat of insurgency” besides advising travelers to also avoid areas in Assam bordering Bangladesh and Nagaland bordering Myanmar “as they are significantly affected by insurgency.” A large number of tourists from these three countries visit the north east every year, particularly Assam’s Kaziranga National Park, home to the one-horned rhino.

In 2013, a similar travel advisory was issued by Australia. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said, “We continue to recommend Australians to exercise a high degree of caution in India overall because of the risk of terrorism, civil unrest, crime and vehicle accidents.”

“Possible targets include public places in New Delhi, Mumbai and other major cities, and Indian security and political interests. Major secular and religious holidays could provide terrorist groups an opportunity or pretext to stage an attack,” the advisory added. However, the overall advice for Jammu and Kashmir and north eastern parts of India was similar to the past ones.

Pol parties want single-phase poll in Mnp: ECI

IMPHAL, Sep 21: Political parties in Manipur have suggested a single-phase in the state to prevent dual voting by certain persons having entries in the electoral roll, chief election commissioner Nasim Zaidi said Wednesday.

He said state chief secretary has been asked to look into if any irregularities in rampant recruitment drives being taking place in various departments of Manipur government when the election to the state Assembly is knocking at the door.

Talking to reporters before concluding its two-day visit in the state to review poll preparedness, the commissioner said that the conduct of single-phase poll was among various suggestions made by the political parties for free, fair and peaceful conduct of the polls in the state.

The eight-member full bench of the ECI led by chief election commissioner Nasim Zaidi arrived in Imphal on Tuesday left for New Delhi today after reviewing poll preparedness with state stakeholders.

The commission’s visit in the state was primarily aimed at making a first-hand assessment of the advance preparations made by the state election machinery for the forthcoming elections.

Chief election commissioner Nasim Zaidi said that they have received complaints from some political parties alleging the incumbent government was indulging in recruitment in its various departments rampantly while the election is knocking at the door.

The ECI noted the complaints as it might indirectly impact in the free and fair elections which the commission wanted to ensure in the forthcoming elections.

Chief secretary has been

asked to look into the matter if there was any irregularities in the recruitment process, Zaidi informed the media.

He said that during meetings with representatives of various political parties, they aired their grievances and concerns such as abuse of money power for gaining the favour of electors, misuses of official machinery and government resources, rush of large-scale recruitment, fairness, neutrality and competence of some officers, influence of insurgent organisations in election process.

Political parties while stressing the need for singlephase poll approached them (ECI bench) that it will not only able to check dual voting by certain persons having double entries in the rolls

but also better for election management and security arrangements besides a peaceful poll.

The commission has also noted down a suggestion proposing announcement of poll scheduled atleast three month so that the model code of conduct can be enforced early to prevent the misuse of official government machinery for influencing and inducing the voters.

ECI members further informed the media that for the first time, Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) will be used in some selected Assembly Constituencies of the state in the forthcoming poll.

In this regard adequate awareness campaign about VVPATs will be conducted by the district election machineries.

The commission has laid a special focus on election accessibility for all sections of the electorate especially the aged, infirm electors, persons with disabilities by providing their need based facilities.

Asserting that ECI attached highest importance to creating conductive environment for peaceful free and fair elections at all costs, both state and district level officials have been directed to reassess the vulnerable locations and prepare a comprehensive security management plan from the grass root level upwards.

Bandh against merger hit life in Manipur Correspondent IMPHAL, Sep 21: A 24-hour shutdown call given by underground National Revolutionary Front Manipur (NRFM) hit normal life in Manipur, particularly in Imphal on Wednesday.

NRFM gave the statewide shutdown call in protest against the ‘forceful’ merger of Manipur with the Indian Union on September 21, 1949.

Owing to the shutdown, business establishments in market places in Imphal including at Khwairamband Bazaar covering Paona Bazaar, Thangal Bazaar, BT Road, Allu Galli, Khoyathong, Nagamapal, Wahengbam Leikei and Keishampat were closed. Oil pumps were not function for the day.

A sharp reduction in the traffic volume was witnessed on the streets in Imphal. Similar situation was reported from other

valley districts of Bishnupur and Thoubal were also hit by the shutdown. Inter-state passenger buses and goods trucks were also off the roads. The shutdown, however, did not affect regular flights. Except non-arrival of the inter-district buses and other commercial vehicles, there was no impact of the shutdown in the hill districts of the state. While giving the shutdown call, the NRFM alleged that Delhi has

ruined the indigenous people’s identity during its nearly seven decades of oppressive rule.

NRFM further alleged that the armed conflict between Manipur and India was also the by-product of the ‘forceful’ merger of Manipur with the Union of India.

No untoward incident was reported from any part of the state during the strike which would be ended by this midnight.

The DEOs and SPs have been instructed for intensive scrutiny of all trouble makers, goons, etc, and assess vulnerabilities in their areas arising out of issues like communal, demographic, ethnic, socioeconomic, insurgencies from the election management perspective.

“Such sensitivities should be mapped at the police-station level and detailed action planned for confidence building,” ECI members said.

After taking first-hand stocks of the poll preparedness, the commission has directed the state and district machinery that preparations must be in full swing to make full efforts to ensure free, fair, peaceful, transparent and participatory elections and enhance confidence of electorate to exercise their franchise without any fear, influence, coercion or inducement, they said.

The commission further assured that a level playing field would be provided to all political parties and candidates. “Entire electoral machinery is expected to be totally fair and neutral and the commission has a policy of zero tolerance in respect of any erring officials,” said chief election commissioner Nasim Zaidi.

Describing non release of salary as discrimination against Hindi teachers, it said that teachers depend fully on their salaries for maintenance and livelihood and are facing hardships due to the non payment of their due salaries. The union questioned how the teachers could perform their duties sincerely, if they were not paid for their works and duties? Therefore the union has appealed for timely release of the salaries in the coming days also.

Improve healthcare system: Prez

President Pranab Mukherjee presents medal to a meritorious student at the centenary convocation of Lady Hardinge Medical College in New Delhi on Wednesday. Union Health Minister, J P Nadda is also seen. (PTI) falling prey to epidemics like cholera, small pox, tuberculosis and plague.

“Invariably I used to see advertisements in railway stations and in every post office issued by the public health department of the then state government -- be careful of mosquitoes - mosquitoes are the death symbol. It was so prevalent,” he said.

“Of course new situation has emerged. Old diseases are no longer prevailing. Due care have been taken to remove them from the society. Medical research and science has made substantial contribution.

“But at the same time, in the new century and in the new millennium we have to face new problems. I request you (young doctors) to always keep in mind certain basic facts – our deficiencies. It is on your

young shoulders again to substantially meet that deficiency,” Mukherjee said.

He said India has one doctor per 1,700 people against international standard ratio of one doctor per 1,000 and the situation is more alarming in the rural areas, where the shortage of surgeons is as high as 83.4 per cent. “So we can apprehend and also appreciate the huge dimensions of building up the health infrastructure particularly in the rural sector and your (young doctors) cooperation and sympathetic hands will no doubt help the government of the day to overcome the problem,” he said.

The President advised the young graduating doctors to be proud of the skills instilled in them by the college to face challenges of the competitive world.

Nitish flays decision to scrap separate Rail budget

NEW DELHI, SEP 21 (PTI): Concerned over the spurt in dengue and chikungunya cases, President Pranab Mukherjee today asked young doctors to strive for overcoming the deficiencies in the healthcare system so that such vectorborne diseases become a thing of the past.

Noting that the ratio of doctors in the country is far less in comparison to international standards especially in the rural areas, Mukherjee said the cooperation of the young doctors will help the government to build the health infrastructure in the country.

JP Nadda NEW DELHI, SEP 21 (PTI): Union Health Minister JP Nadda today said the country is facing shortage of doctors but the government is taking several measures to address the issue as “health for all” is its objective.

“India faces a crippling shortage of doctors. The government is tackling this by rapidly increasing the capacity for training undergraduates and postgraduates in existing medical colleges and also by establishing new ones,” he said.

The government is working to improve training capacity and establish new medical colleges to tackle the situation arising out of the “shortage” of doctors, the Health Minister said.

Speaking at the centenary celebration and convocation of Lady Hardinge Medical College, the Minister said, “Health for all is a national goal and a priority for this government.”

He said the government has “grand” plans for redeveloping and modernizing Lady Hardinge Medical College.

“This government has grand plans for redeveloping and modernising LHMC to make it comparable with the best in the world. The redevelopment plan, with superspeciality block and other associated structures, on completion will decongest the present campus, provide enhanced infrastructure for teaching and research and wholesome environment for patients,” Nadda said.

He said the government aims to improve the standards of medical education in the country. “AIIMS-like institutions in different parts of the country are being established to set standards of medical education and healthcare at par with the best in the world.

“Existing premier medical colleges are also being upgraded with top class infrastructure and facilities. Medical teachers will also be closely involved in policy planning, regulation and enforcement of standards in medical education,” he said.

PATNA, SEPT 21 (PTI): Former Railway minister and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today criticised the decision of Union cabinet to scrap separate Railway budget and merge it with general budget which he said would end autonomy of the largest public carrier in the country.

Making a strong point against ending over ninedecade old tradition of presentation of separate Rail budget in Parliament, he asked the NDA government at the Centre to rethink its decision.

The Union Cabinet today approved advancing presentation of the annual Budget by a month, scrapped over nine-decade old tradition of having a separate Railway Budget and removed classifications for expenditure to make the exercise simpler.

“Based on my personal experience as Railway minister I can say the decision will have no benefit,” said Kumar, who was Railway minister during NDA government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee

“Be truthful, be virtuous, have compassion and never deviate from your own conviction,” he said.

He further asked them to be learners, students, and innovators and researchers as they go forward in their profession.

President Mukherjee said that during the 190 years of “colonial exploitation”, India was “forced” to get accustomed with names of the rulers and most of them have been forgotten but certain names like Lady Hardinge left a permanent impression in the minds.

“In our long history of 190 years of colonial rules, we were forced to get accustomed with so many names of our colonial rulers and personalities.

Most of them we have forgotten today. We wanted to forget along with the end of 190 years of colonial exploitations.

“But certain names which are associated with the colonial era have left a permanent impression in our mind like Bethune, and one such name is Lady Hardinge who thought of providing medical education to girl students and establish an exclusive college,” Mukherjee said. He said that while the college was established in 1917, the British women got the right to vote in the Parliament elections in 1924.

“Seven years before, Lady Hardinge thought of providing modern scientific medical education to Indian women, I appreciate that,” Mukherjee said.

The President termed doctors as the most important component of the society, who have a tremendous responsibility to provide healthcare to the needy.

Cabinet Committee on Security meets after Uri attack New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS): The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) met here on Wednesday in the wake of the Uri army camp terror attack that left 18 soldiers dead.

The meeting was attended

by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Home Minister Rajnath SIngh.

According to sources, the Uri attack was discussed in the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. Asked whether the issue was discussed, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley dodged the question and said: “What is discussed is what you have been informed.” Jaitley was speaking at a briefing on the Cabinet decisions. Asked again, the minister said: “Government reaction to Uri has been stated in last three days very elaborately. Armed forces have expressed their view, which is also the view of the government”. Jaitley added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also already made his views clear. Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt. Gen. Ranbir Singh on Monday said India reserves the “right to respond to any act of the adversary at a time and place of own choosing”. A multi-pronged strategy being adopted by the government includes building diplomatic pressure on and international isolation of Pakistan, as well as army action, though it has not been clarified in what form.

Modi and Parrikar have both said that those responsible for the attack will not be spared.

Meanwhile, the government also chose to stay mum on the deal for 36 Rafale fighter jets, which is in its final stage.

Test-fire of long range surfaceto-air missile successful: DRDO

BALASORE (ODISHA), SEPT 21 (PTI): A day after conducting its perfect trials, India today again successfully test-fired a new long range surface-to-air missile (LRSAM), developed jointly with Israel to strengthen its air defence capability, from a base off Odisha coast.

The sophisticated LRSAM was test fired from the launch pad 3 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur near here at about 2 PM today, defence sources said. Terming the test mission as “successful”, a Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) official said today’s trial was on a different altitude and range compared to the test launch of the missile yesterday. The state-of-the-art advanced missile, a product of joint venture between India and Israel, was successfully flight tested twice from ITR at about 10.10 AM and again at about 2.25 PM yesterday. The trajectory of the flight of missiles was through-

out tracked and monitored by the radars and electro-optical systems installed at ITR. “Apart from the missile, the system includes a Multi Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MF STAR) for detection, tracking and guidance of the missile,” sources said, adding the missile along with MF-STAR would provide the users the capability to neutralise any aerial threats. Both Israel and Indian scientists and technicians have been involved in the launch campaign. Earlier, between June 30 & July 1, 2016, three consecutive test firing of the medium range surface to air missile were conducted from the DRDO base at Chandipur.

The missile, guided by armoured seeker, had successfully hit the last minute manoeuvring target, they said. Indian Navy had successfully test launched the long range surface-to-air missile (LR-SAM). The test was undertaken on Western Seaboard by INS Kolkata on December 30, 2015.

Army intensifies combing ops in Kashmir

Army personnel take positions and moves towards the site where militants were hiding during an encounter at Lachipora in Uri Sector of north Kahsmir on Wednesday. (PTI) URI, SEP 21 (PTI): Despite inclement weather, army was today carrying out intense combing-cum-search operations in Uri and Naugam sectors along the Line of Control in Kashmir where alert troops foiled two infiltration bids but have so far drawn a blank in retrieving bodies of the slain militants.

Army personnel continued their search operations in the higher reaches of Uri and Naugam sectors of Baramulla and Tangdhar districts respectively but have not managed to reach the spot where the bodies were supposed to be lying.

The bodies lay very close to the LoC and there was a possibility of the jawans coming under fire from across the border, official sources said.

The army personnel were maintaining a tight vigil to foil any fresh attempts by militants to sneak in through these sectors by breaking the security cordon or inflicting casualties on the troops. Low clouds were

said. The combing-cum-search operations have been intensified to cover the densely forested areas adjacent to Uri and Naugam sectors to ensure that no remnants of the infiltrating terrorists are missed, they said.

The infiltration bid came just two days after the deadly attack by four Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists on the Army base in Uri which claimed the lives of 18 soldiers and left several others injured.

As part of strengthening the counter-infiltration grid, army is firing illuminators intermittently at night to prevent more militants from sneaking in to this side of LoC, the sources said. The failed infiltration bids yesterday were provided cover by the Pakistani troops, who resorted to ceasefire violation in Uri sector.

Army has refrained from making any comment on the number of terrorists killed during its operations to neutralise the infiltration attempts as the operations are still going on.

CVC tells banks to hold antigraft campaigns in rural areas

NEW DELHI, SEP 21 (PTI): Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has asked all public sector banks to hold anti-corruption campaigns in ‘gram panchayats’ to sensitise people in rural areas about the illeffects of graft.

Besides them, all public sector undertakings have been tasked to create anti-corruption related awareness among school and college students. It will be done as part of the vigilance awareness week, to be observed from October 31 to November 5, aimed at combating corruption. The probity watchdog has also asked all central government organisations to use social, electronic and print

also hampering the operation for retrieving the bodies of the militants which were lying close to the LoC, the sources said.

“The operations along the LoC in Uri and Naugam sectors continue,” an Army spokesman said.

One soldier was killed yesterday as Army foiled two infiltration bids in the two sectors of Kashmir.

While bodies of militants have been spotted nearly 300 metres short of the LoC, a search is on in neighbouring areas to find out if there are more casualties on ultras’ side, the sources said.

Army officials in New Delhi yesterday had claimed that 15 terrorists had attempted to cross the LoC. However, the sources said army was treading cautiously in retrieving the bodies of the slain militants as there was a possibility of enemy troops opening fire. “The bodies of the terrorists are so close to the LoC that army might not be able to recover them,” they

media for spreading awareness.

“The Commission desires that special efforts may be made by each field unit, branch of every central public sector enterprise, public sector banks, organisation to organise activities in at least two schools and three colleges in every city or town,” the CVC said in a directive issued to all the departments.

They have also been asked to organise ‘awareness gram sabhas’ in gram panchayats to sensitise citizens on ill-effects of corruption. “This activity would largely be taken up by the public sector banks which will ask each of their branches to conduct such awareness gram sabhas in at least two gram

panchayats. Similar sabhas or meetings could be organised at the district level also by the lead bank of the district,” it said. All government departments have also been asked to ensure participation of non-government organisations, corporates and public in vigilance awareness campaigns by conducting seminars, workshops, skits, street plays, walk and marathon, among others. The CVC said combating corruption is not just a matter of making laws and creating institutions, but is deeply rooted in human values and morals of individuals and the fight against corruption cannot be won without citizens’ support and participation.

Climate change virus

M

osquito-borne virus infections, such as dengue and chikungunya, are continuously expanding their geographical range. Despite outbreak and threat of vector-borne diseases, which have been widely reported in the national media and also getting nearer to Nagaland, there is need to be alert especially during end of September to October.

Dimapur’s stagnant water in clogged drains continue to provide the best conditions that help spread of mosquitoes. It may be pertinent to note that in nearby Guwahati, the incidence of dengue has maintained an upward graph, with more than 400 cases reported officially. There are also views that suspect that the figure could be more than twice of the reported figure. According to Assam health authorities, the situation was not “alarming” and urged the people not to panic but to take adequate precaution and to go for early diagnosis and treatment in the event of developing symptoms. Of course, there is no need for panic over dengue or chikungunya since they are not fatal except if patients are not treated properly. Dengue is caused by an arbovirus belonging to the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family spread through Aedes adgypti which transmits the virus I,II,III and IV types. High fever, headache, fatigue are common symptoms for all three diseases. Dengue additionally will result in low platelet count and internal bleeding in rare cases.

The chikungunya virus is transmitted from human to human by the bites of infected female mosquitoes. Most commonly, the mosquitoes involved are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, two species which can also transmit other mosquito-borne viruses, includingdengue, zika and chikungunya. This year, Dengue III – considered less potent – is predominant in Delhi. Strains II and IV are considered deadly. Chikungunya triggers severe debilitating pain, especially in joints and also itchy rashes that can be severe in cases. For chikungunya, doctors may advise non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve joint pain once dengue has been ruled out.

Though the media focus has been on the casualties in the national capital, there were over 9,000 cases of chikungunya being reported in Karnataka and prevailing there for many years, the disease never caused panic in South India. Outbreak of chikungunya in Delhi this year is reportedly the worst ever in half a decade where around 1,724 were afflicted resulting in 14 deaths reported so far in the national capital. Precautionary measures for prevention of this viral disease, include three things to do: home care, hydration and hydrotherapy. The basic things one should do to tackle chikungunya is rest well at home, eat well and stay hydrated and apply hydrotherapy if suffering from high temperatures. Climate change, which may consist in changes not only in temperature but also in the pattern of humidity and precipitation, may influence the activity of some vector-borne infections. In general, increased temperatures and humidity favor the growth of mosquito populations, but paradoxical effects, such as the association between drought and the emergence of chikungunya. As with education, where private institutions have been at the forefront in providing high academic standard and bringing up future administrators, engineers and professionals; even in health, it is the private institutions that have contributed immensely. Health authorities need to tackle diseases by coordinating with private hospitals and clinics and providing whatever necessary assistance in the interest of the public.

Scene of linguistic chauvinism

orrors of partition came to my mind when I saw television beaming pictures of rioting and killing in Bengaluru. It was the same way I felt when partition took place and we, the people living in the newly-constituted state of Pakistan, had to leave our home and hearth to migrate to India. I never imagined that a cosmopolitan city like Bengaluru could be the scene of linguistic chauvinism, which would go to the extent of killing Tamils by Kannadas. Leading IT firms preferred to open their offices because they considered the city liberal and peaceful. If someone had asked me at that time that such scene could be repeated at a place like Bengaluru, I would have said: No and never. Yet this has happened because the people known to be liberal were swept off their feet over appeals in the name of parochialism. Fortunately, Tamil Nadu chief minister J. Jayalalithaa’s determination not to allow similar incidents happening in the state prevented any reprisals. She rightly deserves the kudos for handling

the problem before it could assume a proportion leading to indiscriminate violence.

There is a long-standing dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu on sharing of the Cauvery water. This is not the first time that Karnataka has refused to abide by the Supreme Court verdict on the amount of water to be released to Tamil Nadu. Earlier, whenever such a situation had arisen, the people of both states had been at each other’s throat. So, what is happening in Bengaluru today is a mere repetition. But what is the way out? Nobody can challenge the Supreme Court’s decision, but the problem can be solved by sitting across the table and arrive at a solution, particularly when people’s emotions are involved. Since the river water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu is a sensitive issue, I recall former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s idea of evolving a consensus to handle the issue.

Knowledgeable circles have been warning the nation against the dangerous consequences of letting the river

water dispute linger on. Kar- problem was population. I did nataka’s unilateral decision to mention this to an American abrogate all the inter-state river Nobel Prize winner who conwater agreements has created tradicted me and said: “Your a situation, the like of which problem is going to be water.” the nation has not experienced. We were discussing the ordeals And to cap that India would it all, all face in the years Kuldip Nayar chief minto come.

What hapwhich does not go well with pened at Latur in Maharashtra the idea of a federal structure some time ago has renewed the which the Indian constitution American’s warning to me. He demands. Needless to say, it had also given me an optimistic is difficult to find a consensus side: There is an ocean of water on the sharing of river waters under Yamuna-Gangetic plan than on any other subject. waiting to be tapped. I wonder The protracted war of nerves if this is true. Had it been so, between the two states on the the government would have sharing of Cauveri waters is a done a scientific study by this case in point. time to estimate the collected Consensus can be evolved water. I have not heard of only when political parties any such plan so far. India rise above their parochial in- has seven major rivers—the terests to use their vision to Ganges, Brahmaputra, Indus, make water into a factor that Narmada, Krishna, Godavari unites our country. They need and Cauveri—and numerous to have the necessary will to tributaries. New Delhi has achieve this noble goal. It is set up the Central Water and not impossible to find a formula Power Commission to have a protecting the interests of both systematic plan to harness not Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. I only water but also generate had always thought our real power. This has worked to a

large extent but in certain parts of India the fallout has been a serious of disputes which even after decades remain unsolved.

Nearer home, Haryana, then part of Punjab, has refused to release water to Rajasthan and Delhi. This goes contrary to the stand New Delhi had taken when the Indus Water Treaty was signed. At that time we argued that we wanted more water because we had to irrigate Rajasthan, which has a large part of desert. Unfortunately, several incongruities are responsible for inter-state water disputes. Even after 70 years of independence, the disputes are far from settled.

When the Congress ruled both at the Centre and in the states, the problems never assumed an ugly shape. The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), which then only commanded a few Lok Sabha members, did not count much.

It is a different scenario today.

Now that it has a majority in parliament, the party sees to it that the states run by it get the maximum benefit, rules or no rules. However, the situation is different in the south. Both

Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are ruled by parties other than the BJP. New Delhi should have stepped in long ago. Prime Minister Narendra Modi who claims to have united different parts of the country into one unit looks distant from the problem that Karnataka and Tamil Nadu face. His statements have been general. What is needed is tackling of the country’s problem arising out of language, border or water.

Hindus and Muslims who were living together for hundreds of years became strangers soon after partition and had no compunction even in raping women. They were facing on a large scale the situation which Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are encountering on a small scale today. Sometimes I shudder that the disputes among the states may take the shape of some kind of partition. When friends and neighbours could suddenly become strangers because they pursued a different religion, what the Kannadas did on the streets of Bengaluru could well be a page from the history of partition.

Post-mortem

UrraUvie: The question of Naga-Land in Assam

n 1988, the State of Assam filed a suit against the State of Nagaland, asking the Supreme Court to recognize the present demarcations drawn by the British, or the so-called “constitutional boundary” of Assam, based on: (1) the Notification No. 3102R dated November 25, 1925, (2) the Naga Hills-Tuensang Act, 1957, and (3) the State of Nagaland Act, 1962.

Recently, Ram Prasad Sharman, a BJP’s Member of Parliament, went a lot further. He is reported to have encouraged the government of Assam to take steps to claim even Dimapur and Merapani from Nagaland---even by using force. But despite all the unreasonable claims or aggressive push by their counterparts in Assam, most of our Naga politicians and bureaucrats, past and present, aren’t bothered about the possibility of losing our ancestral land to others, either due to utter ignorance or sheer negligence.

To fight for our rights, we must, first of all, know that some of our fellow Nagas have been residing in their ancestral homeland for hundreds, if not thousands of years in certain parts of Assam. Since ancient times, the Naga-Ahom boundaries were determined in accordance with the various traditions, customs, and rituals prevailing at that point of time. It was only in the year 1858 that the Naga traditional boundaries were disturbed again when the Naga Hills District was formed by the British by way of the transfer of power from the East India Company to the Crown territories in India. Thereafter, various notifications were issued at different times

to draw some arbitrary demarcations for limited purposes of economic and administrative convenience. Among these notifications, the most critical one is the Notification No. 3102R dated November 25, 1925, wherein the boundary of the Naga Hills District was amended again and some forest areas within the Naga traditional territories were taken out to be included as part of the Sibsagar and Nagaon Districts, possibly with the intent of exploiting the forest wealth and the mineral resources of the Nagas for their own economic interest. Thus, the British illegally transferred some of our Naga traditional territories out of the then Naga Hills District for their “administrative convenience,” which was done without the consent of the actual land-owners.

But from the perspective of the Nagas, they had never given up their land-ownership rights to anyone else at any point in history. They had always been in possession of their own land. They had only allowed a non-possessory use (easement rights) to the British for their “administrative convenience.” Technically, this means that the validity of the easement rights of the British to the Naga lands ended when their need to use our lands for their “administrative convenience” ended. In other words, the British’s action of taking out certain Naga territories has no legal force right after they left. Therefore, the claim of the Assam Government that the present boundary lines (about 512 kms. in length) between the State of Assam and the State of Nagaland are the “constitutional boundaries” and are therefore legitimate must be

questioned and challenged. The fact remains that even the demarcations of the Naga Hills Districts cannot be understood as final or absolute, because the Naga traditional areas are much beyond the purported Notification of 1925.

As for the Naga Hills-Tuensang Area Act (NHTAA), all the areas under the Naga Hills District and the Tuensang Frontier Division (formerly called Naga Tribal Areas) were amalgamated through an act of the Indian Parliament on November 29, 1957, to provide for the formation of a new administrative unit within the State of Assam. In this case, the new independent India gladly took over the illegal demarcations drawn by the British and unilaterally made the decision to claim these Naga lands as part of the State of Assam. The question, however, is this: Is this action morally right or legally justifiable? From the perspective of the Nagas, this is certainly unacceptable as no Naga had ever agreed to be part of the new State of Assam, whether officially or unofficially, at that time.

Now, what about the State of Nagaland Act, 1962, which was passed by the Indian Parliament and got the President’s assent on September 4, 1962? Section 3(1) of the said Act states, “There shall be formed a new State to be known as the State of Nagaland, comprising the territories which immediately before that day were comprised in the Naga Hills-Tuensang Area and thereupon the said territories shall cease to form part of the State of Assam.”

Admittedly, certain sections of

the Naga people opted to accept a separate statehood under the Indian Constitution. But even in this case, the acceptance of Nagaland as the sixteenth State within the Indian Union was based on the 16-Point Agreement, in which the amalgamation of all Naga areas was clearly stated and agreed upon. For example, the return of all previous Naga traditional territories to the new State of Nagaland was clearly spelt out in Point Nos. 12 and 13 of the 16-Point Agreement, which is really a reaffirmation of Point No. 6 of the Nine-Point Agreement of 1947.

The reasons why the government of India agreed to this arrangement seem to be two-fold: (1) to set right what was wrongfully committed by the British Colonial Power which had arbitrarily taken portions of the Naga traditional territories out of the Naga Hills District, and (2) to use the promise of re-transferring these Naga traditional lands to the Naga people as a bargaining tool or concession on the condition that the Naga people would agree to be part of the Indian Union. After all, the Naga people did not ask for a separate statehood. Instead, it was India which only came up with this offer to the Naga people. Hence, the Assam-Nagaland border issue is much more than a border dispute between the two States. More accurately, it has a lot to do with a political agreement, which India has failed to fulfill so far.

For that matter, the Government of Assam, under Sir Akbar Hydari, the Governor of Assam, was also a signatory of the Nine-Point Agreement in 1947, when it agreed: (1) “to bring back into the Naga Hills District all

the forest transferred to Sibsagar and Nowong Districts in the past, and (2) to bring under one administrative unit as far as possible all Nagas …”

(Point No. 6).

This being the case, it is the Government of India (GoI) which should solve the Assam-Nagaland border issue rather than expecting the two state governments to resolve the problem between themselves. To be candidly self-critical, the Government of Nagaland (NoN) had erroneously opted for mutual settlement of the border dispute, although the Supreme Court had earlier directed the GoI to take the necessary steps to do so. But the resolution to the problem of the Naga traditional lands is something only the government of India, not even the Supreme Court, should undertake.

Otherwise, the State of Nagaland will continue to be without a legally recognized and settled boundary.

The GoN had, on various occasions, reminded the GoI that the ongoing Indo-Naga conflict today is due to the non-fulfilment of the commitment made by the GoI. Similarly, Dr. HokisheSema, a former Chief Minister of Nagaland and Governor of Himachal Pradesh, had confirmed that the GoI was well aware of this fact.

As for the Nagas who have accepted the 16-Point Agreement, they have honored their word by physically and politically remaining with India for the last six decades.

But what about the GoI? When will it honor all its commitments made to the Naga people as per the 16-Point Agreement?

DailyDevotion Implementation of Food Safety and Standard Act 2008 Reader’s Post T Opposing the Tezpur The Missionary’s MP’s remark on Dimapur Predestined Purpose Now the Lord says, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant… —Isaiah 49:5 The first thing that happens after we recognize our election by God in Christ Jesus is the destruction of our preconceived ideas, our narrow-minded thinking, and all of our other allegiances— we are turned solely into servants of God’s own purpose. The entire human race was created to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. Sin has diverted the human race onto another course, but it has not altered God’s purpose to the slightest degree. And when we are born again we are brought into the realization of God’s great purpose for the human race, namely, that He created us for Himself. This realization of our election by God is the most joyful on earth, and we must learn to rely on this tremendous creative purpose of God. The first thing God will do is force the interests of the whole world through the channel of our hearts. The love of God, and even His very nature, is introduced into us.

And we see the nature of Almighty God purely focused in John 3:16— “For God so loved the world….”

We must continually keep our soul open to the fact of God’s creative purpose, and never confuse or cloud it with our own intentions. If we do, God will have to force our intentions aside no matter how much it may hurt. A missionary is created for the purpose of being God’s servant, one in whom God is glorified. Once we realize that it is through the salvation of Jesus Christ that we are made perfectly fit for the purpose of God, we will understand why Jesus Christ is so strict and relentless in His demands.

He demands absolute righteousness from His servants, because He has put into them the very nature of God. Beware lest you forget God’s purpose for your life.

Life is the sum of all your choices. ~ Albert Camus

he Govt. of Nagaland requires implementing the Food Safety and Standard Act 2006 in a more proper and effective manner in the state Food means any substance whether processed, partially processed or unprocessed. It includes packaged drinking water, vegetables, infant food products, meat, even the water used for food during its manufacture were all included.

Food safety refers to the condition and practices that preserve the quality of food to prevent contamination of food borne illness. The Food Safety & Standards Act 2006 aim to consolidate the laws relating to food and to establish the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India(FSSAI) for laying down science based standards for articles of food and to regulate their manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import, to ensure availability of sale and wholesome food for human consumption in the country.

In terms of discharge if its function stipulated under Section 16 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, the Authority shall, inter alia, conduct surveys of enforcement and administration of the Act in various parts of the country, search, collect and analyse relevant information relating to food consumption and exposure of individuals risks, incidence and prevalence of biological risk, contaminants in food, residues of various contaminants etc. The Authority is also obliged to promote general awareness as to food safety and food standards. The Food Authority has been undertaking activities and programmes for dissemination of Information, Education and Awareness in this behalf through Media as also through association of different organisations and institutions in this behalf. However, recognizing that effective enforcement of the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder primarily rest with States and Union Territories and that there is need for greater focus on these activities. The Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 repealed all the other food related laws

such as Prevention of Food Adulteration Act 1954, Fruit Products Order 1955, Meat & Food Products Order 1973, Vegetables Oil Products (Control) Order 1947, Edible Oils Packaging (Regulation) 1988 which were in operation prior to the enforcement of Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006. The most important and critical stakeholder in food safety is the consumer who is directly impacted by the safety of food in the country. It is necessary for the Authority to keep engaged with the consumers and apprise them of the emerging trends in food safety so that the concerns of the consumers are appropriately reflected in the food safety system in the country. Therefore Food Safety and Standards Authority of India(FS&SAI) has regulated Food safety and standards act 2006 for every state of India to ensure food safety and standards for human consumption and to check the sub standard of any article of foods in every state by Food Safety Officer. Under Section 63 of FSSA 2006, if any person or food business operator carrying out a business without license is punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months and also with a fine which may extend to five Lakh rupees. A person is also punishable with a fine of 10 lakhs rupees for misleading advertisement, falsely describing quality of food or give false guarantee to the consumers.

Slaughterhouse should have proper hygiene and maintenance instruments and to be regularly checked by the medical concern doctor and thereafter it should be given to the slaughter house for human consumption. Under the Consumer Protection Act 1986, the consumers have the right to safety, they are protected against marketing of goods and services which are hazardous to life, and therefore, the goods which are hazardous to health is illegal and punishable.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare governs the FS&SAI. FS&SAI governs all food business operators in the country and has entrusted the powers at various levels to other designated authori-

ties. In Nagaland, the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, rules and regulations 2011 is being implemented in the State from 2012. However, to strictly enforce the Act, every State must have the separate Commissioner of Food Safety Commissioner whereas the Commissioner & Secretary to the Govt. of Nagaland, department of Health & Family Welfare is yet to take the charge and supervise his designate officials for effective implementation and to ensure food safety to the consumer. The Food Safety Officer must be appointed as an independent charge as per the Act and should checked all the Food Business Operators which includes Hotels, restaurants, canteens, tea stall, bakeries, street food vendors etc in all the respective district. With the enforcement of this Act in Nagaland, any person in practice of selling of food products are required to have a license to sell such goods and the license is to be given by the Chief medical Officer. There are times where the FS&SAI has asked the Food Commissioner in the state to inspect and evaluate in the market and had suggested that the state food safety commissioners should prepare their line for action and collect samples of all the packaged products, even those which are not registered with FS&SAI and also told to take action if required. The Chief Medical Officer and designated officers Kohima have informed all hotels, restaurants, provisions, groceries, home based canteens of schools, colleges, office, etc to obtain food safety license/ registration from the Chief Medical Officer office, Kohima and has also inform to the food business operators that whose license/registration were valid upto 31st march 2016 to renew before stated date in order to avoid penalisation as per the food safety and standards act rules and regulations and newly established food business operators have also been directed to obtain the license/registration.

Sir,

We are utterly shocked on seeing the news item entitled “BJP MP’s remark to reclaim Dimapur stokes controversy”, published in the front page of your esteemed daily on September 19, 2016.

As quoted to the Sunday Standard of the New Indian Express group, Ram Prasad Sharma, the honourable Parliament Member from the prestigious Tezpur Lok Sabha constituency wants the Assam government to reclaim the “leased out Dimapur” along with Merapani, even if it requires force. This is entirely a sinister move and we vehemently oppose it.

We all know the traditional saga of benevolence and cooperation among the Assamese and the Nagas for centuries. Of course, it is a fact that a vicious circle has been trying its level best to distort this chronicle during the recent decades in the name of border disputes with own vested interests. Some anti-social elements are mostly engaged into it and the common people from both the sides are neither setting off, nor supporting this sort of activities.

Many civil society organizations under the aegis of Assam Sahitya Sabha, Naga Hoho, All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) and many more are working relentlessly hard to maintain peace and tranquillity along the borders of Assam and Nagaland. On the other hand, Assam-Nagaland border demarcation is yet an unsettled dilemma and it is still under the purview of the Honourable Supreme Court of India.

Now, as stated by a responsible MP of ruling NDA government, if Assam Government reclaims the “leased out Dimapur”, it will simply ignite violence, and nothing else. On the contrary, it is an undeniable fact that growing Dimapur’s present day demography is no longer dominated by indigenous Assamese at all, any more. Only a handful of permanent indigenous Assamese settlers (mostly the Kacharis’) are still there in Dimapur and their rights are well protected. The issue of Hidimbapur, the capital city of ancient Dimasa kingdom is a forgotten anecdote now. Of course, the ruins of the Dimasa kingdom have obvious historical importance and it should be well protected as an archaeological site. We appeal to the Government of Nagaland also here along with to take care of that stock in a better way. But, Mr. Sharma only knows the targeted beneficiary of his impractical, provocative statement. We suppose, he has earned some self political mileage by raising the issue in this manner and we people should thwart his grubby politics.

It said if this was the attitude of the government , does any sensible Naga believe that the interest of the landowner would be protected under Article 371A? The LH signatories requested elected Naga leaders to be “realistic” and not say or do anything that could mislead the ignorant common Naga public on the subject and be a mockery to honest Naga intellectuals.

In view of the above, Lotha Hoho maintained that it knows what it was doing and that as the ultimate guardian of the zone of “Wokha” it will not withdraw the PIL as long as the NP&NG Rules 2012 exist in its current form that infringes and undermines the rights of Naga land owners which are entitled by the provisions of Article 371A. LH called upon all honest Nagas to support the common and noble cause.

into a drinking water crisis, the apex court had directed the Congress government to release 6,000 cusecs daily till September 27.

This was a modification of an earlier order of its constituted Cauvery Supervisory Committee on Monday to release 3,000 cusecs daily for 10 days till September 30 in response to Tamil Nadu’s plea for water for cultivation.

Karnataka had gone to the apex court to complain that the Cauvery Supervisory Committee had no authority to direct it to release 3,000 cusecs, but was ordered to release double that amount.

Even Tamil Nadu opposed the committee’s order, saying it was too little and would spell doom for its samba crops.

Now that Karnataka has defied the SC order, it can be hauled up for contempt. The court can even recommend dismissal of the Siddaramaiah government. In 2002, then chief minister SM Krishna was pulled by the court when he defied its order to release water to Tamil Nadu. He apologized and later released water.

N E W D E L H I , S ep 2 1 (Agencies): Giving a new twist to the ongoing Cauvery water dispute, Karnataka has decided that it will stop releasing water to Tamil Nadu for now.

The Supreme Court had directed the state to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu till September 27. A cabinet meeting was convened by Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah to discuss the situation and consider the possibility of not implementing the directive, reported TOI. “The cabinet has decided to defer releasing of water to Tamil Nadu”, Siddaramaiah said shortly after the meeting.

Cabinet has also decided to request the governor of Karnataka to convene both the Houses on 23rd September 2016 at 11am. Citing protests in the Cauvery basin districts in Karnataka, several leaders had earlier suggested Siddaramaiah that the order be defied. Brushing aside Karnataka’s plea that releasing any more Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu would plunge Bengaluru

“I acknowledge support of the government of India in implementation of the Metro Rail project,” she said while inaugurating the project from the Secretariat through video conferencing.

The second elevated corridor covers a distance of 8.6 km from the Airport to Little Mount Station.

This stretch covers stations at Airport, Meenambakkam, Nanganallur Road,

tions from Koyambedu to the airport, without having to change at Alandur, she said.

“All these are steps towards realising my vision of making Chennai a truly modern city of the 21st century with all amenities for its residents,” Jayalalithaa said.

She expressed confidence that the share of public transport in Chennai would go up substantially with seamless integration of buses, suburban train services, air services, metro rail and eventually the monorail.

Thanking Japan for its support, she said it was India’s and Tamil Nadu’s largest development partner today and that she was confident that Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) would continue support for the CMRP. “We also request support for other important projects in the pipeline like the 400 million litres per day Desalination Project near Chennai, Chennai Peripheral Ringroad Project and Tamil Nadu Investment Promotion Programme Phase II,” she said.

She congratulated all those associated with the project, “who have brought a modern mass transit system to the city of Chennai.”

NEW DELHI, SEP 21 (PTI): The monthly pension of freedom fighters, including those who were incarcerated in Cellular jail in Andaman Islands or suffered outside British India, was hiked by around Rs 5,000 each. The decision to give 20 per cent enhanced pension to all categories of freedom fighters, their spouses and dependents was taken at a meeting of the Union Cabinet.

The revised scale of pension has taken effect from August 15, 2016 and the revised total amount of pension will be taken as basic pension for the respective categories of freedom fighter pensioners for calculating Dearness Relief.

The existing Dearness Relief system based on All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial workers, which was so far applicable to freedom fighter pensioners on annual basis, is being discontinued and replaced by the DA system applicable to central government employees twice a year.

MUMBAI, SEP 21 (PTI): Gold prices rose for the third straight session at the domestic bullion market here today on sustained wave of buying interest from stockists and retailers as well as bullish overseas sentiment.

Elsewhere, silver continued its rallying momentum on the back of heavy speculative demand coupled with strong industrial buying support.

New Delhi, Sep 21 (PTI): The monthly pension of freedom fighters, including those who were incarcerated in Cellular jail in Andaman Islands or suffered outside British India, was today hiked by around Rs 5,000 each.

The decision to give 20 per cent enhanced pension to all categories of freedom fighters, their spouses and dependents was taken at a meeting of the Union Cabinet headed

by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The revised scale of pension has taken effect from August 15, 2016 and the revised total amount of pension will be taken as basic pension for the respective categories of freedom fighter pensioners for calculating Dearness Relief, an official statement said.

The existing Dearness Relief system based on All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial workers, which was so far applicable to freedom fighter pensioners on annual basis, is being discontinued and replaced by the Dearness Allowance system applicable to central government employees twice a year.

This will be termed as “Dearness Relief ”, the appropriate term in case of pensioners, it said.

morning.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said dozens of raids hit the city’s east overnight, as regime troops advanced on rebels in Aleppo’s southwestern outskirts.

It was a sleepless night for many Aleppo residents, AFP’s correspondent in the city said, with the bombardment continuing until rain broke out over the city at dawn.

In the rebel-held neighbourhood of Sukkari, Abu Ahmad cleared rubble and shattered glass from his doorstep after bombardment demolished the six-storey building next door, killing his neighbours.

Syrian state media reported the city’s governmentheld west had come under rebel shelling, which killed two people. A medical aid group said four of its doctors were killed and a nurse critically wounded when an air strike hit a clinic in a village near Aleppo late yesterday.

The Union of Syrian Medical Relief Organisations (UOSSM) said the clinic in

the village of Khan Tuman was completely levelled in the 11:00 pm (local time) strike and more dead were feared to be buried under the rubble, the group added.

The Britain-based Observatory said nine medical staff affiliated with the Army of Conquest rebel alliance were also killed while working in the clinic. According to the World Heath Organisation, Syria is the most dangerous country in the world for health professionals, with 135 strikes on clinics and hospitals last year. Monday’s strike on the aid convoy near Aleppo killed 20 civilians and destroyed 18 trucks, the Red Cross said, and prompted the UN to suspend all humanitarian convoys across Syria.

“There only could have been two entities responsible, either the Syrian regime or the Russian government,” President Barack Obama’s national security spokesman Ben Rhodes said. “In any event, we hold the Russian government responsible for air strikes in this space.”

Salahuddin Rabbani New York, Sep 21 (PTI): Pakistan’s lack of will in dealing with insurgents stems from its “India phobia”, its military and civilian tensions and its trust deficit with neighbours, Afghanistan’s foreign minister has said while demanding the dismantling of “safe havens” in Pakistan to defeat terrorism.

“The way Pakistan behaves is because they have India phobia, there are military and civilian tensions and there is trust deficit between Afghanistan and Pakistan,” Salahuddin Rabbani said here when asked what motivates Pakistan in dealing with insurgent groups and its “lack of will” to help deal with Taliban and other terror groups.

Brazil ex-prez Lula to be tried for corruption Brasilia, Sep 21 (AFP): Brazil’s former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva must stand trial for corruption, a judge ruled, after prosecutors accused the popular leftist of masterminding the large-scale plundering of state oil company Petrobras.

The crusading judge behind the Petrobras investigation, Sergio Mora, accepted charges filed last week by prosecutors investigating Lula -- making him the highestprofile figure to face trial in a case that has taken down some of the country’s most powerful business executives and politicians. “Given that there is sufficient evidence of (Lula’s) responsibility... I accept the charges,” Moro said in his decision. The charges allege that Lula, 70, received the equivalent of 3.7 million reais (USD 1.1 million) in bribes.

Among the accusations

PIA cancels flights to northern Pakistan cities Islamabad, Sep 21 (PTI) Pakistan’s national flag carrier PIA today cancelled flights to northern Pakistani cities due to “air space restrictions” in the wake of Uri terrorist attack. Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) called off flights to Gilgit and Skardu in Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan- occupiedKashmir (PoK) and Chitral in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

“As per directives of CAA (Civil Aviation Authority), the air space over Northern areas will remain closed on Wednesday. Inconvenience regretted,” PIA spokesperson Danyal Gilani said on Twitter.

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva are charges that the former union leader and his wife received a beachside apartment and upgrades to the property from a major construction company, OAS, which was one of the players in the Petrobras scheme. More broadly, prosecutors last week singled out Lula -- who was president during much of the

time that Petrobras was being fleeced of billions of dollars -- as the scheme’s “supreme commander.” Lula, who presided over an economic boom from 2003 to 2011, will now go head to head for the first time with Moro. The crusading judge’s anti-graft investigation, known as Operation Car Wash, has had explosive consequences in Brazil.

It may now thwart Lula’s hopes of a political comeback in the 2018 presidential election. It already played a part in ousting the leftist Workers’ Party, which he co-founded.

The once unstoppable party’s 13 years in power ended last month when Lula’s hand-picked successor, Dilma Rousseff, was convicted of budget irregularities in an impeachment trial.

The charges against Rousseff were unconnected to the Petrobras case, but the

Sharif on Kashmir issue not yielding traction United Nations, Sep 21 (PTI): Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has raised the Kashmir issue with almost every world leader he has held talks with on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session, but his efforts to internationalise the dispute with India appeared to have gained no traction.

Sharif raised the issue with the leaders of the US, the UK, Japan and Turkey and sought their intervention to resolve the matter. He met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan here yesterday.

“PM Sharif briefed Japanese PM about the grave turn that the situation in occupied Kashmir is taking.

“PM Nawaz Sharif also apprised his Japanese counterpart of the human rights violations being committed

by Indian occupation forces in Kashmir,” Lodhi said in another tweet.

Erdogan and Sharif “agreed that OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) Commission on Human Rights should send a factfinding mission” to Kashmir, Lodhi said.

scandal -- combined with Brazil’s worst recession in decades -- did much to bring her down.

Rousseff was replaced on August 31 by center-right President Michel Temer, her vice president-turned-nemesis.

He has vowed to slash a ballooning budget deficit and lead Latin America’s largest economy back to growth.

But the Petrobras case also looms large over his administration, and several of his close allies are under investigation. Lula was hailed internationally for combining business-friendly economic policy with social-welfare programs that helped fight centuries of deep-rooted inequality in Brazil. He also was key in winning hosting rights to the 2014 World Cup and the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, which finished on August 21 -- South America’s first.

Aleppo, Sep 21 (AFP): Intense air raids shook Syria’s Aleppo today as increasing tensions between Moscow and Washington poisoned efforts to revive a failed ceasefire.

The UN Security Council was due to meet later for talks on salvaging the truce -- which collapsed on Monday after only a week -- but the mood was likely to be tense after the United States said it held Russia responsible for a deadly air strike on an aid convoy.

US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are both to address the council, ahead of more talks expected later this week.

Russia and the United States co-sponsored the ceasefire plan, with Kerry warning it could be the “last chance” to try to end Syria’s civil war, which has killed more than 300,000 people in five years.

In Aleppo, a key battleground in the conflict, bombardment pummelled opposition-held districts and the city’s outskirts into this

India, the BRICS member nations sought a “firm” legal framework under the UN for concerted efforts to fight terrorism effectively and called for expediting negotiations to an international accord against the menace.

India along with other BRICS member nations - Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa - in a meeting held here on the sidelines of the 71st session of UN General Assembly yesterday expressed concern that continued conflicts in several regions provided “fertile” grounds for terrorist activities.

The BRICS leaders called for an early conclusion of the negotiations on the Comprehensive Convention against Terrorism.

The meeting of BRICS’ Ministers of Foreign Affairs also reaffirmed the need for a comprehensive reform of the United Nations, including its Security Council, with a view to make it more representative and efficient, besides calling for “collective action” to boost world economic growth.

Brazil’s Jose Serra, Russia’s Sergey Lavrov, India’s Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar, China’s Wang Yi and South Africa’s Maite Nkoana-Mashabane reiterated their “strong condemnation” of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

“They strongly condemned the recent several attacks, against some BRICS countries, including that in India,” a joint communique released after the meeting said.

AGT winner Grace joins Adele, Beyonce at Columbia Records

GCTC to organize EXO Scores Second No. 1 on 2nd Autumn Festival World Digital Songs With ‘Lotto’

G

I

t’s official: America’s Got Talent winner Grace VanderWaal has a record contract.

The 12-year-old singer and ukulele player -- who became a sensation from her very first audition when judge Howie Mandel hit the coveted Golden Buzzer -will see her deal with Simon Cowell’s Syco Music land at Sony Music’s Columbia Records, Billboard confirms.

There, VanderWaal will be labelmates with Adele, One Direction, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and more.

While on America’s Got Talent, VanderWaal earned praise from Stevie Nicks, who told host Nick Cannon: “she reminds me a lot of me in a lot of ways. She’s got it.

Whatever happens, Grace is going to the top.”

Dubbed “the next Taylor Swift” by Cowell, that same superstar singer even sent VanderWaal a huge bouquet of flowers to wish her congratulations.

Speaking to Billboard, Cowell said all this excitement is only the beginning for the preteen.

“It’s a lot to take in, but

I’ve got to hand it to her,” he said. “She’s a very smart, calm, focused girl and I think she knows what she wants to achieve and what we always say to artists in this situation is it’s not a race.”

VanderWaal is set to headline three dates inside the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas Oct. 27 through Oct. 29 with AGT acts The Clairyvoyants and Tape Face.

While those three dates are the only announced shows so far, Cowell promises something else is in the works.

fter earning EXO their first No. 1 on Billboard’s World Digital Songs with “Monster” earlier this year, the boy band’s Ex’act album continues its exciting run as the lead single from the record’s new repackage also tops the chart.

For Anupam Kher, Robert De Niro is ‘God of acting’

A

nupam Kher may be known for his powerpacked and versatile performances but the veteran actor considers Hollywood star Robert De Niro as the ‘God of acting’.

Kher recently met the “Raging Bull” actor in New York. He had previously worked with him in the Hollywood film “Silver Linings Playbook”.

“I can proudly call him (De Niro) my friend. Over the period of time he has a certain amount of respect for me, he likes me. I was to go to Toronto because my film ‘Head Hunters Calling’ was there (Toronto Film Festival), but I wanted to go to New York and say Hi to him.

kind of thing. Why don’t you guys go out and sign for four hours? That’s why she’s the most famous woman in the world.’”

“She’ll always get onto us after a show: ‘I couldn’t hear Caleb’s voice last night at the concert. You need to tell your soundman, he’s gotta turn Caleb up!’”

In the same interview, the band described how they no longer hate their hit ‘Sex On Fire’.

The band recently debuted a new song called ‘Around The World’ on Jools Holland. They have also shared their lead single ‘Waste A Moment’.

“He was kind enough to meet me when I went to New York. It was like meeting ‘The God of Acting’,” Kher told PTI. Though the “Khosla Ka Ghosla” star has worked with De Niro in the past, he never meets the actor with the intention of collaborating with him

for a Hindi film.

“I don’t want to be that person. When I spend half an hour, one hour with him, that is sufficient. If it (Bollywood film) has to happen, it’ll happen. But I don’t have an agenda behind meeting him and he recognises that,”

he said.

The 2012 AcademyAward nominated romantic comedy “Silver Linings Playbook” was one among the several international projects Kher featured in, like “Bend it like Beckham” and “The Other End”.

The 61-year-old actor says international cinema has given him “friends for life” and he cherishes that a lot.

“It’s beautiful to be friends with these people.

Even being with Gerard Butler, Armie Hammer, it was wonderful. You make friends for life. This is what international cinema has given me,” he said.

The track sold 8,000 downloads in America last week -- a sizable increase from the first week sales of “Monster,” that moved 6,000 downloads in its first charting week.

Produced by British duo LDN Noise -- who also produced EXO’s most recent singles “Monster” and “Lucky One” -- “Lotto” is yet another dive into a slightly darker pop sound that the group has toyed with in their most recent

releases.

To date, only seven Kpop acts have hit the top spot on World Digital Songs and with two No. 1s to their name, EXO now boast the third-most chart-toppers among Korean acts. The outfit trail only PSY (who has four No. 1s on the chart) and BIGBANG (with three). Meanwhile, 2NE1, BTS, CL, Blackpink plus G-Dragon and Taeyang all have one.

Kareena reacts to Rishi Kapoor’s recent media brawl

R

ishi Kapoor’s recent scuffle with a couple of media personnel during Ganpati Visarjan brought him a lot of flak from various quarters but the actor has full support from his family, the recent one being his niece and the mommy-to-be, Kareena Kapoor Khan.

The actress was recently asked at an event about what were her views on the entire brouhaha that followed after Rishi Kapoor alleged slapped and misbehaved with a couple of media personnel, and the actress said that Rishi is a very senior person in the industry and a very intelligent man.

Further coming to her uncle’s rescue, Bebo said that it was raining very heavily on the day of Ganpati Visarjan and the crowd too got uncontrollable and that probably must have triggered something.

WADA seeks more funding, sanctioning powers Montreal, Sep 21 (IANS): The World AntiDoping Agency (WADA) needs to increase funding and to enlarge sanctioning powers, the agency has said after summarising results of consultations with other sport organisations.

WADA held consultations with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), the Associations of Summer and Winter Olympic International Federations and many other institutions to discuss challenges to the current anti-doping system on Tuesday.

“Among other matters that were discussed, participants reached consensus on the need for Centralised World Anti-Doping Code (Code) compliance monitoring by WADA with proportionate and graded sanctioning powers,” A WADA statement said. It added that additional funding will be required for regular audit and monitoring of subordinated organisations.

According to WADA, boosted resources would improve the agency’s ability to ensure proper anti-doping control.

He therefore, challenged the association to give their best to uplift the game in the state. Former DGP further said that during his service time, he tried to start Nagaland police sport academy to absorb sporting talent from the young age, however his proposal was not accepted by the government.

Director Life sports and life ministries Colo Mero in his brief address blamed lack of support from the family, institution and government for the reason behind on the poor performances by the sportspersons in the state.

According to him, state can excel as far as football is concern by taking into the account talent and enthusiasm of the youngsters, however, for that, Mero said everybody should come together and work as a team.

Meanwhile, newly elected and first president NFCA Roko Angami in his address assured to work for the welfare of the license coaches through various activities and programmes.

President also informed that state has 68 D license holders, 12 C license, two B license and others.

Lahore, Sep 21 (PTI): Pakistan captain Misbah-ulHaq on Wednesday received the ICC Test Championship mace for leading the side to the top of the ICC Test Team Rankings for the first time since the current rankings system was introduced in 2003.

ICC Chief Executive David Richardson presented the mace to Misbah at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and the Pakistan Test skipper said it was befitting that the mace presentation was taking place there.

“There can’t be a better location to receive the ICC Test Championship mace than this ground where we last played a home Test seven years ago,” said Misbah.

“It is ironic for both the players as well as the fans that the journey to the number—one position has been outside Pakistan. The players have missed on the crowd support, while the spectators have been unable to watch live some magnificent team and individual performances.

But I am confident that things will change and international cricket will soon return to Pakistan,” he added.

Pakistan are only the fifth side after Australia, England, India and South Africa to top the ICC Test rankings, while Misbah is the ninth captain to lift the mace after Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, Steve Smith (all Australia), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (India), Andrew Strauss (England), Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla (both South Africa).

Delighted to hold the mace in the twilight of his career, Misbah said: “It has always been a dream to lift an ICC trophy as captain”.

Bengaluru FC in AFC semifinals

Eugeneson Lyngdoh (right) tries to get past Tampines Rovers defenders.

S i n g a p o r e , S EP 2 1 (IANS): I-League champions Bengaluru FC qualified for the semi-finals of the AFC Cup by eking out a goalless draw against Tampines Rovers in the second leg at the Jalan Besar Stadium here on Wednesday.

The win over two legs set up a semi-final date with familiar foes and Cup holders Johor Darul Ta’zim of Malaysia, where the Blues will travel for the first leg on September 28 at the Larkin Stadium.

Coming into the game with a 1-0 result in the home

leg, Bengaluru’s best chance came in the 38th minute when a free-kick variation caught the Tampines defence unaware but a sliding Eugeneson Lyngdoh couldn’t get his foot to what was a delicious pass across the face of the goal from CK Vineeth.

Only a minute later, Jermaine Pennant fluffed his lines from inside the box when the former Arsenal man when he lobbed a half-hearted strike over the Blues’ goal.

Earlier, Tampines’ Muhammad Hafiz came close to giving the hosts a lead when

he intercepted a poor pass from Nishu Kumar and set off on a free run before his strike drew a save from Amrinder Singh.

The Blues got off to a bright start in the second half and Chhetri could have handed them a vital lead in the 48th minute when he lost a defender in the box before shooting, only for Mohamad Izwan to make a save.

A far cry from the frantic first half that saw them give away possession rather cheaply, the Blues turned up with a far more controlled show that

saw them string passes and hold possession for long spells in the game.

Needing a goal to keep their hopes alive and take the game to extra-time, Tampines pressed high up and came close on a few occasions through Jordan Webb and Muhammad Hafiz.

But the Bengaluru defence refused to press the panic button, making vital steals and patiently building up the game from the back.

In the 77th minute Chhetri and Eugeneson exchanged a smart one-two but the latter’s shot lacked the sting it needed.

The Blues should have surely put the game to bed in the third of the five minutes of additional time but late substitute Vishal Kumar’s fierce strike was kept out by Izwan and Eugeneson’s follow-up strike ricocheted off the post with the ‘keeper well beaten.

But none of the missed chances hurt the I-League champions who joined Dempo SC and East Bengal to become only the third club from India to make it this far in the competition.

By the virtue of the draw, CK Vineeth’s 6th minute goal in the first leg was enough to put the Blues from the IT City of India into an elite bracket of clubs as they become only the third ones to qualify for the last four of the AFC Cup after Dempo and East Bengal achieved the feat earlier in 2008 and 2013 respectively.
