India-Afghanistan corner Pak at UN Pakistan a terrorist state, Ivy League of terrorism - Eenam Gambhir -

WASHINGTON, SEP 22 (AGENCIES): Bluntly calling Pakistan a terrorist state and a global epicenter of terrorism, India on Wednesday told the United Nations that Islamabad’s use of terrorism as instrument of state policy is a war crime. “The worst violation of human rights is terrorism. When practiced as an instrument of state policy it is a war crime,” a junior Indian diplomat tasked with exercising India’s right of reply to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ’s speech, in which he had raised the human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir, said. First Secretary Eenam Gambhir’s response to what she described as Pakistan’s “long tirade” about the situation in J&K, expressed earlier in a speech by the country’s prime minister Nawaz Sharif, was short, furious, and unprecedented in its intensity and descriptions. It also indicated a new Indian resolve to push for having Pakistan recognized as a nuclear proliferating terrorist state based on its record and substantial evi-

Earthquake jolts Nagaland, NE region Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, SEP 22 (NPN): An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 hit Nagaland including other parts of the North Eastern region on Thursday evening at around 7.30 p.m. The epicentre of the earthquake was located near Phek district, Nagaland at a depth of 139 km. So far, no loss of life or property has been reported. Experts have pointed out that a big earthquake is overdue in the Northeast and it is a matter of time before this eventuality takes place. Large-scale mining and ill planned towns have also contributed to fears that if an earthquake takes place this time there may be substantial damage to life and property.

dence of its nurturing of terror groups. Reminding the U.N of how so many terrorist attacks, including that on 9/11 in US, led to Pakistan, she said, “The land of Taxila, one of the greatest learning centres of ancient times, is now host to the Ivy League of terrorism.” There was a specific reference to the hunt for Osama bin Laden leading to Abbottabad, Pakistan, where he was found and killed next to a Pakistan military garrison. Several other terrorists including Mullah Omar, Ramzi Yousef, and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, not to speak of numerous foot soldiers, including last week’s New York bomber, have found refuge and inspiration in Pakistan. “It attracts aspirants and apprentices from all over the world. The effect of its toxic curriculum are felt across the globe,” Gambhir explained. “It is ironical therefore that we have seen today the preaching of human rights and ostensible support for selfdetermination by a country which has established itself as

the global epicentre of terrorism,” she added in a reference to Sharif ’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir. More humiliation followed as Gambhir also accused Pakistan of diverting international aid for terrorism, raising the possibility that New Delhi will now begin a campaign to cut off assistance on which Islamabad subsists. India also took aim at the internal tensions in Pakistan, calling it a “country with a democracy deficit”. “In fact it practices terrorism on its own people. It extends support to extremist groups, it suppresses minorities and women and denies basic human rights including through draconian laws,” Gambhir told UN delegates.

Afghanistan hits out

Slamming Pakistan at the UN for providing safe havens to terrorists, Afghanistan said Pakistan has been waging an “undeclared war” on its people by plotting “merciless” terror attacks and training and financing groups like the Taliban and Haqqani network. Speaking

at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Afghnaistan’s Vice President Sarwar Danesh said his country has repeatedly asked Pakistan to destroy known terrorist safe havens but there has been no change in the situation. “Taliban and Haqqani network are trained, equipped and financed there,” he said, adding that Pakistan has a dual policy of discriminating between what it views as “good and bad terrorists”. He said that an “undeclared war” continues to be waged against Afghanistan and its people are still subject to “merciless attacks of terrorist groups”. Citing the recent attack on the American University of Afghanistan and against a peaceful demonstration in Kabul, Danesh said based on “existing evidence”, these attacks were planned and organised from inside the Pakistani territory. Danesh said that more than 10 Pakistan-based terrorist groups were creating obstacles for its state-building efforts and preventing the establishment of peace and stability in Afghanistan.

UNTABA slams Assam MP over his remark DIMAPUR, SEP 22 (NPN): United Naga Tribes Association of Border Areas (UNTABA) has slammed BJP’s Lok Sabha MP from Assam, Ram Prasad Sharma, for his remark that the Assam government should reclaim Dimapur, even if it required force. In a press release, UNTABA chairman Hukavi T. Yeputhomi and general secretary Imsumongba Pongen termed as “very unfortunate” the MP’s “outlandish comments” on the issue, which “the history are well defined.” The association stated that inasmuch as the traditional, ancestral and historical boundary between Assam and Nagaland was concerned, there was no dispute. UNTABA said the boundary was “clearly demarcated by the Kings themselves and maintain as such throughout the centuries”, adding it cannot be challenged by any individual or any group of people. They said the comment was “not only an embarrassment” for the Central government and Assam government but also “inviting contempt of Court” since the issue was under active litigation process and was sub judice. UNTABA said no individuals from both the states should involve in “uttering such unsubstantiated and cheap political rhetoric.” (Cont’d on p-7)

NH issue: Ao MLAs appeal Ao Aboi students to impose Senden to reconsider decision indefinite road blockade DIMAPUR, SEP 22 (NPN): Taking note of the prevailing situation that has arisen out of the proposed withdrawal of three apex tribal bodies that constitute the CNTC—Sumi Hoho, Lotha Hoho and Ao Senden from the Naga Hoho- the Ao legislators have appealed to the Ao Senden to “reconsider” the proposal from dissociating from Naga Hoho. A joint statement issued by minister of PWD (NH), Mechanical & Elections Nuklutoshi and advisor to CM & Urban Development, SI Jamir, on behalf of the Ao legislators, appealed to the Senden “not to take any hasty decision, especially at this crucial juncture when the Naga political talks with government of India is at a crucial stage.” The legislators opined that all stakeholders, be it organizations or individuals, “need to stand united and exercise utmost restraint and settle issues through constructive dialogue in the spirit of give and take”. While appreciating the concerns expressed by the three apex bodies, the signatories said the Ao legislators

were of the opinion that “further discussions and deliberations on the issue” was required between all civil society organizations and the state government. This would dispel all misgivings and misunderstandings, they stated. The signatories said the Ao legislators expressed solidarity and willingness to proactively cooperate with the Senden on all important issues, that may impact the lives and future of the Ao community in particular and the Nagas in general. It may be recalled, that the Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) along with the three apex organisations resolved on August 24 , that in the event Naga Hoho failed to comply with the demand (30-day deadline) to withdraw the endorsement for Rongmei tribe recognition in Nagaland, the three organisations would dissociate from Naga Hoho. Subsequently, the Sumi Hoho and Lotha Hoho dissociated from the Naga Hoho, based on the CNTC resolution. However, Ao Senden was yet to make known its decision on the matter.

DIMAPUR, SEP 22 (NPN): Aboi Area Students’ Union (AASU) on Thursday announced that as per the resolution adopted on September 21, 2016, it has resolved to impose indefinite Aboi road blockade starting October 3 in order to express its resentment against non-completion of road construction. In a press release, AASU working president, Wangam Konyak, and assistant general secretary, Langwang Angh K, asserted that the blockade would remain in force until the work was expedited, saying it “shall give no room for any assurances hereafter.” According to AASU, the road project, which commenced in 2013 by 100 RCC BRO Mon, was lying without any progress resulting in deplorable road condition. Despite several appeals for speedy completion, the union said the authority paid no heed, adding it has compelled the union to impose road blockade. AASU said Aboi road, which was the only lifeline connecting southern part of Mon district, was in worst condition. It said the road that was meant for all forms of development was in degrading stage suppressing all kinds of progress. The union maintained that the commuters were encountering terrifying experiences while plying on “chips and muddy road”. It also claimed that alarming high rates of tragic accidents have occurred on Aboi road. “Pedestrians are facing immense misery walking on swampy road,” stated AASU and pointed out that all the hardships and hurdles faced by the public were unexplainable. Further, the union has expressed serious concern over the deplorable road condition and stated that it has “gone beyond tolerance (Cont’d on p-7) and cannot be ignored anymore.”

Connectivity of NE-SEA countries important to boost trade: Zeliang DIMAPUR, SEP 22 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on Thursday stressed on the need to have “people to people connectivity” vis-à-vis rail and road connectivity in the Northeast to boost trade and commerce in the border areas and with the South East Asian (SEA) countries. He was addressing the Northeast Connectivity Summit at Agartala, Tripura, on the theme “Connect Northeast, 2016”, organized by Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and supported by the Ministry of DoNER, Government of Tripura and NEC, a press note from the CMO stated. Lamenting that more focus was needed on infrastructure, Zeliang said “if border trade and people to people connectivity were to be improved in the region, the first priority should be construction of quality highways and railways connecting the region, with the mainland on the one hand, and with the neighbouring Southeast Asian countries on the other”. Once this is achieved in line with the Act East Policy, Zeliang said, the geographical location of the region would become central and strategic in terms of International trade and development Zeliang opined that the most practical and convenient road and rail connectivity between India and the South East Asian countries “should run through Kohima to Moreh via Imphal.” He reminded that this particular route was a strategic stretch for the allied forces during the historic WWIII battle of Kohima, which he said would have allowed Japanese forces to enter the plains of India. While informing that a highway already connects Moreh with Kuala Lampur, Zeliang made a strong plea that the East-West corridor, which presently ends at Silchar in As-

T.R. Zeliang with Tripura CM, Manik Sarkar.

sam, should be extended from Doboka to Moreh via Kohima and Imphal. Zeliang also suggested for the railway line to run along this alignment, and appealed for a re-look by the government of India into the broad gauge line from Diphu (Dhansari) to Karong (Manipur), the foundation stone of which was laid by Nitish Kumar in 1998. This route would be shorter by 125 km to connect with the Southeast Asian countries, he added. He however said that the project was abandoned “due to some inexplicable political consideration”. Shortage of power supply in the region was another serious concern, Zeliang said, while underlining the need for not only adequate power generation but efficient transmission and distribution. Commenting on the topic of “Seamless Border Trade with Bangladesh and Southeast Asia”, Zeliang opined that fencing of the borders in most parts of the North Eastern region may not be practical as done in the borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh. Citing the example of Nagaland, he said the International boundary “does not follow a river or other convenient landmarks” but rather, based on the “watershed principles.” He pointed out the case of the house of the Angh in Longwa village in Mon district where half of it lies in India and the other half in Myanmar. “In fact, what we need is not barbed wire fencing, but construction of roads along

and across the borders so as to unlock the land-locked areas, and promote trade and development”, Zeliang said. He went on to state that the absence of road and communication has rather made these areas “the perfect hiding grounds for insurgents”. Zeliang was also critical of the restrictions imported by the Ministries of Defence and Home Affairs on construction of roads and development activities within an aerial distance of 25 kms due to security concerns. “An aerial distance of 25 kms from the border can mean a lot, as some sub-divisional and block headquarters are actually located within such distance”, he said, adding “many roads constructed under various centrally sponsored schemes are with such distance”. Zeliang also emphasized on the need for better internet connectivity in the region to enable the Northeast people fully participate as equal partners in building regional value chain. He urged the Centre to expedite the proposed broadband internet network for NE through Cox Bazaar in Bangladesh, so as not to “deprive the English –speaking and Internet-savvy youth of the Northeast from effectively utilizing the global internet highway for educational and business purposes.” Meanwhile, Zeliang has extended invitation to the delegates to attend the fourth edition of the Summit, scheduled to be held in Nagaland from September 21 to 23, 2017.

Demand for all weather road from Tizit to Mon Centre to monitor DIMAPUR, SEP 22 (NPN): Despite hue and cry over deplorable road condition in the state, there seemed to be no improvement and the road further deteriorated during rainy season. On Thursday, Tizit Area Students’ Union (TASU) raised the pathetic and terrible road condition under its jurisdiction and demanded that the state government to construct all weather road from Tizit to Mon accordingly as per highway norms and standard. TASU president, Manpang Wangyen and general secretary, Tahkai Wangshaham in a press statement, reminded state government that this would be their final appeal which would be followed by ultimatum. In this regard, the union sought support from the Konyak Student’s Union and other likeminded societies. TASU also drew the attention of the elected leaders under Mon district and wondered what they (legislatures) were actually doing, when they were all elected with the responsibilities to look after public welfare. It further urged

the legislators wake up from their “deep slumber” and immediately take this issue collectively, “if you are for the people of Mon district”. According to the release, Namtola to Mon is the main road that connects the people of Mon from the rest of others. However, the condition of the road has never been in a good shape and worsened with the advent of rainy season. The union said that the deplorable condition of the roads has greatly affected the economy in Mon district and various sub-divisions linked to it. Therefore, it urged the state government to wake up and respond positively before the public could no longer bear the step motherly treatment. The union further reminded the government that the public were not responsible for the current financial status of the state government. It claimed that despite several appeals to the government and responsible authorities on various occasion both verbally and in writing, the response was not satisfying. TASU also demanded

that the contractor of InterState Connectivity (ISC) road from Tizit Hq to Nokzang be completed as per DPR norms though the stipulated period has expired. Further, the union demanded that the contractor of North East Council (NEC) road from Tizit to Nokyan be handed over to the PWD for immediate repair and maintenance before the road becomes deplorable beyond repair. The union also asked the PWD, Mon why work on Tizit - Nokyan Road (13.00 km) under PM’s package(2004-2005) was not executed after some few meters of earth cutting only when the department had released an amount of Rs. 1,20,42,255 as first running bill, Rs. 33,10,748 as second running bill and Rs. 1,50,00000 approximately as third running bill out of the total approved amount of Rs. 4,72,00000. In the light of the above, the signatories stated that non completion of the work as per the DPR norms and standard before December 2016, would be viewed seriously by TASU and Konyak Students’ Union.

construction of rural roads via sats

NEW DELHI, SEP 22 (PTI): In a bid to check corruption in construction of rural roads, the Centre will do geo-satellite monitoring of the entire process of construction of rural roads in the country. Recently, a pilot project in this regard was carried out by the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR) under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). The four-month pilot project was conducted in five states- Odisha, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Assam. It found that nearly one-third (31 per cent) of the village roads in 10 districts across India were shorter than the sanctioned length. “The Rural Development Ministry will sign an MoU with the National Remote Sensing Agency for geosatellite monitoring of the construction of rural roads and also the roads which have been constructed,” a source said.

Dr. Neiphrezo Keditsu and others releasing the souvenir at Kohima, Thursday. (NP) Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 22 (NPN): NSMDC Ltd chair man & MLA, Dr. Neiphrezo Keditsu has asked lawyers to charge reasonable legal fees from their clients saying being exempted from service tax does not mean that lawyers should charge “exorbitant fees”. Reminding the lawyers that they were “selling” their knowledge, he said lawyers and doctors shares similar profession and that people have “blind faith” on them. He then asked them to respect their profession and not to abuse or take advantage. He was speaking on the 7th Biennial general conference of Nagaland Law Students’ Federation (NLSF) at Jubilee Memorial Centre (KABA), Lerie, Kohima on Thursday. Dr. Neiphrezo said that losing or wining a case should not matter as long as justice was delivered and asked the lawyers to uphold their motto, “Justice for all”.

rights and duties and urged them to uphold the essence of justice and equity. Speaking on human rights in Naga context, human rights activists and general secretary NPMHR Neingulo Krome said Naga society should move ahead with every little positive development in every sphere of life, instead of getting stuck with negative elements. He said Nagas should take the present and upcoming generation of Nagas out of the shadows of the horrors of the past. In a presidential address, NLSF president Lanu-

sowa Pongen highlighted the demand for Government Law College; separate High Court in the state; demand for setting up of law department and policy for higher education in Nagaland University etc. He urged the MLA to take the matter to the highest level to bridge the gap and also to avoid another kind of agitation. On the occasion, the chief guest also released the first NLSF Souvenir. Other highlight of the programme was presentation of special songs by the Kohima Law College and Atsula Kips.

DIMAPUR: Nagaland Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti (NRPS), Hindi Uchchatar Vidyalaya (HUV) Kohima, Nagaland observed “Hindi Pakhwara (week)” from September 14-21. The main celebration was held on September 21 at the auditorium of the Samiti with Hindi Education officer, Directorate of School Education, S.N. Dubey as the chief guest. Speaking on the occasion, Dubey highlighted the importance of Hindi at the present globalized world saying people’s attitude towards Hindi was very positive. However, he added that there were still rooms for

changes in “our” thinking towards the national language and its development. While dwelling on the history and origin of the language, he urged upon the students not to study Hindi just to be a Hindi teacher but to think beyond that. He pointed out the various platforms and sectors which offers opportunities for Hindi professionals. “The children of north east India have more opportunity than the other part of the country as they are good in English and if they excel in Hindi, they will have more advantage for being bilingual experts,” the chief guest said.

In the chairman’s remark Dr. Philip also pointed that Hindi was a nation’s pride and all the languages of India were jewels of the country. Earlier, the programme was chaired by Hindi coordinator of DoSE, Dr. B.P. Philip, AHM of the Institute, Kesaw Kumar Mahatto, was the moderator of the programme, welcome address was delivered by the former principal Dr. Abhijit Payeng and vote of thanks was delivered by HM of the Institute, Omprakash Tiwari.

Terming Right to Information (RTI) ACT as a tool to check corruption and developmental developments, Dr. Neiphrezo said that this Act should be used with a purpose and not for any hidden or ill motive. Exhorting the students to be ambitious and to dream big, he asked them to be practical and also create awareness on legal rights to the citizens. In a solidarity message, deputy commissioner Kohima, Rovilatuo Mor encouraged young legal students not to only focus on getting a government job but to be prepared to proactive for private firms.

Gadkari promises Arunachal to expedite 4-lane road project and Highways asked a senior officer to examine the case for early approval. Chief Minister Pema Khandu had earlier submitted a memorandum to MoS for Road Transport & Highway Mansukh Mandaviya, during his visit to the state recently, demanding declaration of four roads as National Highways. He had named AkajanLikhabali-Bame Road (106 km) in West Siang, Margherita-Changlang (37 km) in Changlang, Daporijo to Dollungmukh via Dumporijo along the left bank of Subansiri river (125 km), and Tezu to Chapakhowa via Sunpura (20 km).

IOC to transport 2nd batch of tankers via Bangladesh GUWAHATI, SEP 22 (PTI): Indian Oil Corporation will transport 10 tankers of fuel from Assam to Tripura through Bangladesh on September 23 for the second time in a month to avoid the dilapidated NH-44 in Barak Valley. Indian Oil-AOD, the company’s North East division, will move LPG from its North Guwahati bottling plant to Bishalgarh unit in Tripura in a convoy through Bangladesh. “This is the second convoy of fuel we are moving to Tripura through Bangladesh. In this convoy, we will transport exclusively LPG in 10 tankers,” IOC Executive Director (IndianOil-AOD) Dipankar Ray told PTI here. This consignment will be followed by another convoy next week, he added. On September 9, IOC transported nine tank trucks carrying 1,08,000 litres of diesel and kerosene and one LPG truck from its Guwahati depot to Tripura via Bangladesh. The transportation agreement with Bangladesh is valid till

this month. “This option of sending tankers via Bangladesh started to overcome fuel shortage in Tripura. The crisis is receding now. Regarding renewal of contract, we will take a decision by the end of this month or first week of October,” Ray said. During May-June, Tripura had faced unprecedented fuel crisis as supply was badly hit due to pathetic condition of NH-44 at Barak Valley in Assam and thousands of tankers were stranded on roads for weeks. The situation forced IOC and Tripura government to scout for alternate ways to supply fuel. One of the options was transportation of tankers by open rail wagons from Bhanga in Assam to Churaibari in Tripura, but IOC termed this system non-economical as transporting 24 tankers one way cost Rs 3.9 lakh. NF Railway has made two trips with oil tankers so far and the company will use this mode only in extreme cases.

Mein also apprised the Minister of the incessant monsoon rains that play havoc resulting in huge damage both on the completed stretch and on-going NH projects every year. “As such, regular maintenance and protection work is required so that damages due to landslides and other damages can be arrested to ensuring all-weather connectivity,” Mein pointed out. The Deputy Chief Minister also requested the Union minister to allocate a maintenance fund of Rs 10 crore for the maintenance and repairs works of National Highway 13- Potin to Ziro road as a special case.

of Planning Commission and the new policy of NITI Aayog, Tripura is losing Rs 1,800 crore every year. How can we develop infrastructures if the central government does not help us,” he asked. “As you are looking after the various affairs of northeastern states on behalf of the NITI Aayog, please do something for the betterment of the backward region. Only recommendations will not be enough...ways and means for real development must be evolved with adequate financial backing,” Sarkar told Debroy. The Tripura Chief Minister said that the northeast has been neglected by successive governments at the Centre, putting the people of the region at a disadvantage. “The northeast region is surrounded by four crucial neighbours -- China, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar. We could help each other for mutual benefits,” he added. NITI Aayog member Debroy said that development of physical infrastructure is necessary in the region. “Services sector, like higher education, health, bio-technology and tourism, can be the priority sec-

ITANAGAR, SEP 22 (PTI): Union MoS for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju has said looking at larger political perspective for overall development of the people should be the ideology of all political parties. “The day Arunachal Pradesh attains political maturity by imbibing true values of democratic processes, the state can make a lot of developments both politically and economically,” the minister said after releasing the book ‘Party Politics in Arunachal Pradesh’ authored by Prof Nani Bath at Rajiv Gandhi University, here, an official communiqué informed here today. While complimenting Proffesor Bath for writing the book, Rijiju appealed to the people to read it to know history of politics in the state and offer constructive criticism through various media and so-

cial platforms for a healthy appraisal of the views expressed by the author. Elaborating on his views of political development over the years in the state, the minister said that political ideology needs to be infused among the people. Commenting on the right of political representatives to change their loyalties and choosing leaders in parties, Rijiju said, “Let actual right be vested with the people although MLAs have right to decide their leadership in their parties. Rijiju also lamented about the growing unemployment in the state where natural resources abound and only eight lakh indigenous populations live. Earlier, Prof Bath explained the backdrop behind the writing of the book in which many young research scholars travelled all over the state for research on the subject.

EC seeks to revise Mizoram’s electoral rolls; tensions resurface

AIZAWL, SEP 22 (IANS): An Election Commission decision to conduct a special summary revision of electoral lists in Mizoram has triggered protests and a court case over the inclusion of names of tribals who had fled to neighbouring Tripura almost two decades ago. Around 31,300 Reang tribals, who locally call themselves “Bru”, have been living in seven makeshift camps in northern Tripura for the past 19 years after they fled following ethnic trouble after the killing of a Mizo forest officer in Mamit district. “Following Election Commission instructions, the Mizoram Election Department has published the draft electoral rolls on September 15 and from that date the process of summary revision was started,” an official of the department said. “After completing the three-and-a-half-month process, the final publication of the electoral rolls would be done on January 5, 2017, with January 1, 2017, as the qualifying date for including

Tripura CM opposes PPP model for raising infra in northeast AGARTALA, SEP 22 (IANS): Even though Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar sees an urgent need for raising physical infrastructures in the northeast, he advocates against harnessing the public-private partnership (PPP) model to achieve that in the mountainous region. “Development of physical infrastructure is crucial in northeast India, but the muchtalked about PPP model should not be adopted in the hilly region,” Sarkar said addressing the third North East Connectivity Summit on Wednesday. He said, “Private investors and industrialists would not come to the region in a big way unless physical infrastructures, like roads, railways, power and connectivity, are developed. The PPP model is not workable in this region.” In a remark aimed at NITI Aayog member Bibek Debroy, who was present and spoke at the summit, Sarkar said, “The Narendra Modi government at the Centre destroyed the vital Planning Commission and set up the NITI Aayog. Hence, there is no scope for Centrestate discussion on planning process.” “With the demolition

tors for development. Poor condition of the national highways in the region must be improved at once. Medium, small and micro industries have great scope in Northeast,” he added. Tripura Industries and Commerce Minister Tapan Chakraborty highlighted the scope and opportunities for industries in the state. He expressed happiness that diplomats, officials and business representatives from Russia, Japan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan attended the summit. The three-day summit has been organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) and supported by the Tripura government. Ficci’s North East Advisory Council Chairman Ranjit Barthakur said that during the three-day summit experts, diplomats, officials and investors would discuss infrastructure development of the northeast region, information technology, healthcare, agriculture, bamboo plantation, connectivity, development of border infrastructure, and development of road, air and water connectivity.

new names,” he added. The Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF), the lone representative of the tribal refugees, is officially unaware about the special summary revision of electoral lists in Mizoram. MBDPF general secretary Bruno Msha told IANS over phone from Kanchanpur in northern Tripura that the Mizoram government has told Union Home Ministry officials that they would start taking back the refugees only from November, by which time the vital procedures of the revision of rolls would be over. “We don’t know how the names of the refugees would be included. Besides, former State Chief Information Commissioner Robert Hrangdawla filed a petition before the Mizoram bench of the Gauhati High Court seeking a direction to exclude the names of the Reang tribals from the state’s electoral list,” Msha pointed out. Msha also said that the Mizoram government and the Union Home Ministry are yet

to officially inform them that the repatriation of Reang refuges from Tripura to Mizoram would start from November. “If the refugees remained out of the electoral list revision process, it would be a blatant violation of the fundamental rights of genuine Indian citizens,” he added. He said Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla had also written to the Election Commission to keep out the names of the Reang tribals from the electoral list as they had been staying outside the state for many years. Meanwhile, the Young Mizo Association (YMA) and the Mizo Students Federation (MSF), the two most powerful youth bodies in Mizoram, have been asking the Election Commission to delete the names of the tribals staying in Tripura since October 1997. Following the commission’s advice, almost all states in the country, including Mizoram, have undertaken a special summary revision of photo electoral rolls with January 1, 2017, as the qualifying date.

Suspicious men spotted near Mumbai; alert sounded

A policeman stands guard at Badhwar Park in Colaba.

Mumbai, Sep 22 (PTI): The Western Naval Command here issued a high alert along the Mumbai coast after four men in military uniform were today spotted moving suspiciously near a Naval facility in Uran, about 47 kms from here. A search is on to trace the four men, police said. According to Indian Navy Chief PRO Capt D K Sharma, the search operation is going on along with Maharashtra police after the matter came to light. The Western Naval Command (WNC) issued “the highest state of alert” along the Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Raigad coasts after suspicious movement of a group was reported in Uran.

The WNC has roped-in the police and Coast Guard also for the task. According to initial information received by the authorities, four school students spotted a group of people dressed in uniform similar to that of Indian Army near Uran and Karanja area. The DGP office immediately issued alerts to all police stations along the coast. Security has been beefed up at sensitive locations along the coast, including the Gateway of India, Raj Bhawan, Bombay High (rig), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and other major establishments near the sea. The Maharashtra police has also issued an alert follow-

Navtej Sarna appointed ambassador to the US NEW DELHI, Sep 22 (PTI): India’s High Commissioner to UK Navtej Sarna was on Thursday appointed as ambassador to the US, a high-profile posting where he will face the task of engaging with a new administration in Washington following the November 8 Presidential poll. Sarna, an Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer of the 1980 batch, was serving as secretary (West) in the ministry of external affairs before he was posted in London in January. He succeeds Arun Singh, who is due for retirement. The 59-year-old diplomat

was among the longest-serving spokespersons of the MEA. He had held the post between 2002 and 2008. “He is expected to take up the assignment shortly,” the external affairs ministry said. Government has also appointed 1988-batch IFS officer Taranjit Singh Sandhu as the next High Commissioner of India to Sri Lanka. He will replace Yash Sinha. In Washington, Sarna’s main task will be to ensure continuity in India-US relations when a new dispensation takes charge.

ing the information that some suspects were moving around near Uran, Director General of Police Satish Mathur told PTI here. All the coastal police stations in the state have been put on alert and police teams are working in coordination with the Navy in search operations, he said. Mathur, however, was quick to point out that no suspect has been traced so far. Notably, the coastline is guarded by a three-tier network which starts with the local police (with its coastal police stations) closest to the land, followed by the Union Home Ministry-led Coast Guard while the Indian Navy patrols the high seas.

Centre declares JE as notifiable disease

NEW DELHI, Sep 22 (PTI): The Centre on Wednesday declared Japanese Encephalitis (JE) as a notifiable disease and asked states to ensure that all health care providers inform local authorities about such cases, a move aimed at reducing the transmission of the disease and stopping it from spreading to newer areas. The move of the Union Health Ministry, which issued a notification to this effect on Wesdnesday, comes after Health Minister J P Nadda had given an assurance to Lok Sabha in August this year for making JE a notifiable disease. “Japanese Encephalitis is an important public health concern in the country accounting for substantial morbidity, mortality and disability. Early reporting of JE cases is necessary for effective implementation of preventive measures and case management. “In order to ensure early diagnosis and case management, reduce transmission, address the problems of emergency and spread of disease in newer geographical areas, it is essential to have complete information of all Japanese Encephalitis cases. “Therefore, the health care providers shall notify every JE case to local authorities that is District Health Officer or Chief Medical Officer of the district concerned and Municipal Health Officer of the Municipal Corporation every week (daily during transmission period),” the notification said. The notification has been sent to the heads of state health departments and other health functionaries of all the states and UTs.

Sri Lanka makes its debut in the table with the University of the Colombo in the 801+ band, while Pakistan has five new entries, taking its total to seven. “But the star of the region is India, which has 31 universities in the list. Its leading university - the Indian Institute of Science - is edging closer to the top 200, claiming a spot in the 201-250 band, its highest ever position and the country has four new entries in the top 800,” said Phil Baty, the editor of the THE World University Rankings. “India’s strong performance is partly thanks to

the country recognising the importance of participating in global benchmarking exercises; just last month the government launched a new funding-backed project aimed at catapulting Indian Institutes of Technology to the top of world university rankings,” he said. Baty described as “encouraging” that the Indian government had displayed an ambition to create world-class universities, witnessed by the country’s leading institutions “edging towards the world top 200”. The other Indian universities on the list include IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras, all within the 401-500 ranks, and IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee in the 501-600 band. India has 19 institutes in the top 800, two more than last year and 12 others in the 801-980 band. Overall, India has 31 institutions, including 14 new names, in the list of 980.

Prez lauds Indian Railways, calls it unifiers of nation NEW DELHI, Sep 22 (PTI): Terming the newly-inducted Railways officers as agents of change, President Pranab Mukherjee today asked them to ensure safety of passengers who have reposed tremendous trust in them. The Railways, with its glorious history, is one of the few institutions which can truly be called the unifier of the nation, he said during a meeting with a group of probationers from six railways services here at Rashtrapati Bhavan. They (probationers) would confront new problems as the world is changing fast. However, they should be able to meet those challenges with a spirit of innovation, an open mind and willingness to learn. The nation expects them to face the challenges with fortitude as they are the agents of change, Mukherjee said. “It (the Railways) connects people across the length and breath of the country with a rail network of more than sixty-six thousand kilometres. The Railways continues to be the main source of connectivity for people as well as the movement of goods,” the President said. Mukherjee said the probationers should always remember that people have reposed in them tremendous trust. Therefore, they should carry out their responsibilities with dedication and ensure punctuality and safety of passengers. The probationers who called on the President were from Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS), Indian Railway Personnel Service (IRPS), Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS), Indian Railway Service of Signal Engineers (IRSSE), Indian Railway Stores Service (IRSS) and Indian Railway Service of Electrical Engineers (IRSEE).

Dosa sellers, vada paav shops next on tax list MUMBAI, Sep 22 (Agencies): The income tax department is leaving no stone unturned in its bid to make the income declaration scheme (IDS) a success. With less than 10 days to go before the September 30 deadline, small businesses and roadside eateries-—many of which have never seen an IT officer before — are the latest to feel the heat, reported TOI. In Mumbai alone, about 50 — including a well-known vada pav centre in Thane, a dosa centre in Ghatkopar, a sandwich centre in Andheri and a jalebiwallah in south Mumbai — were raided and the owners asked to declare their

black money under IDS. Also, about 100 raids or surveys were conducted in Ahmedabad and eateries and well-known shops in New Delhi and Kolkata. The raids are based on information collected by the tax department in the last six months. According to a tax official ET spoke to, about 1 lakh small businessmen and shopkeepers have been identified by the government as possible evaders. It is also understood that the government has given targets for each city. As in Mumbai and New Delhi, tax departments are said to have been given a target of Rs

2,500 crore. ET could not independently confirm these figures from tax officials. Experts said raids and surveys have increased in the past week. “In my 25 years of experience, I have not heard of any raids or surveys on these eateries. They seized cash from the shops, many shopkeepers were taken by surprise as they have never dealt with tax officials ever,” said a chartered accountant who is advising some of those raided in Mumbai. As much as Rs 2 crore may have been seized, according to some estimates. The push is set to intensify. People with knowledge of the matter said tax officials

are expected to conduct about 1,000 similar raids or surveys across India by September 30. “Many smalltime businessmen have now been on the receiving end as the income tax department seems to be going after them. In most cases the tax officials are asking the tax payers to declare all the money under the IDS,” said Paras Savla, partner, KPB & Associates, a tax consultancy. On Monday, about 400 tax officials descended on Khau Galli in Mumbai in one such exercise. This paralleled swoops on shop owners in other parts of Mumbai and in New Delhi and Kolkata.

Standing its ground

agaland’s efforts to transform its economy with oil money expected from operation of oil and natural gas in the newly designated Oil Zones( in 11 districts) through the Nagaland Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules and Regulation and Gas Board 2012 and then rushing off to issue permit to Metropolitan Oil and Gas Private Limited(MOGPL) which subsequently launched its operation fields in Chanpang under Wokha and Peren districts, haven’t taken off yet. The delay has been attributed to the PIL filed by Lotha Hoho Wokha over various clauses contained in the NP& NG Rules and Regulations 2012. Furthermore, the Gauhati High observed that the respondent No.7 (MoGPL) was incorporated on September 14, 2012 and already suffered adverse orders at the hands of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and therefore, awarding permit for oil exploration to such a party “is not in the public interest”. On October 8, the GHC passed an order that stayed the permit granted by the state government to MOGPL and questioned the constitutional basis of the NP& NGR 2012.The other aspect of the case pertains to Article 371A which was reaffirmed by the state assembly while the court looked at whether the state has the power to enact its own separate rules by over riding the supremacy of the Indian parliament. The interpretation is that while the state enjoys special guarantee under Article 371 A, yet that did not grant supremacy over parliament in framing laws pertaining to extraction and trade in oil and natural gas. Article 371A is not an obstacle since the individuals that own the land and all that is contained within, are definitely for development. The issue of 16-Point Agreement under the Special Provision of Article 371(A) which was made a political issue and criticised by several politicians, is now seen in a more positive light. In this regard, Clause VII section (d) pertaining to the safeguard of the rights of ownership and transfer of land and its resources has become a constitutionally valid umbrella over the issue of rights. However, the NP & NG Rules and Regulations 2012, while seemingly reaffirming the rights of land owners has practically given the go by when it came to being the final say. The Loth Hoho maintained it is pursuing the PIL mainly on the basis of protecting the rights and authority of the landowners in line with Article 371A. Despite numerous appeals or even pressures, the Hoho has stood its ground. It is a remarkable quality that is sadly missing among many organisations in Nagaland, who seem eager to strike deals in order to give up their demands. Of interest is the issue at Changpang in Wokha district which has a proven reserve of 50 million tonnes of crude oil. The crude at Changpang could last for at least twenty five years and one can only imagine the huge revenue that the owners would get if exploration and exploitation was being carried out today. The other reserves estimated at nearly 600 million tonnes at Mokokchung (Changki), Mon (Singphan) and Peren districts to name a few, could benefit the state and its people for the next few centuries in terms of revenue. The state government represents the people and should act wisely so that pursuance of benefit should not be the sole criteria but other aspects concerning the future welfare and well being of the people and the state.

DailyDevotion The Missionary’s Master and Teacher You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am ….I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master… —John 13:13, 16 To have a master and teacher is not the same thing as being mastered and taught. Having a master and teacher means that there is someone who knows me better than I know myself, who is closer than a friend, and who understands the remotest depths of my heart and is able to satisfy them fully. It means having someone who has made me secure in the knowledge that he has met and solved all the doubts, uncertainties, and problems in my mind. To have a master and teacher is this and nothing less— “…for One is your Teacher, the Christ…” (Matthew 23:8). Our Lord never takes measures to make me do what He wants. Sometimes I wish God would master and control me to make me do what He wants, but He will not. And at other times I wish He would leave me alone, and He does not. “You call Me Teacher and Lord…”— but is He? Teacher, Master, and Lord have little place in our vocabulary. We prefer the words Savior, Sanctifier, and Healer. The only word that truly describes the experience of being mastered is love, and we know little about love as God reveals it in His Word. The way we use the word obey is proof of this. In the Bible, obedience is based on a relationship between equals; for example, that of a son with his father. Our Lord was not simply God’s servant— He was His Son. “…though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience…” (Hebrews 5:8). If we are consciously aware that we are being mastered, that idea itself is proof that we have no master. If that is our attitude toward Jesus, we are far away from having the relationship He wants with us. He wants us in a relationship where He is so easily our Master and Teacher that we have no conscious awareness of it— a relationship where all we know is that we are His to obey.

Importance of Disclosure, Partner & Spouse Testing of HIV

isclosure of HIV Status means telling someone that you are HIV+, while you may receive love and support from some of the people you disclosed, others may not be accepting. Try to find someone who can support you through this difficult situation. If you have not told any family yet, turn to your health care provider, social worker, counsellor at Care Support Centre or at ART Centre. Disclosing your HIV status will also have an effect on the people you tell. Your friends and family may immediately embrace you and accept your diagnosis. Others may react negatively or need some time to process what you have told them. You do not have to tell everyone that you are HIV+. However, it is important that you tell your current and past sexual partners and anyone you have shared needles with to inject drugs. In this way they can be tested and seek medical attention if required. If you are afraid to tell them, health service provider in your area can notify your sexual or needle-sharing partners without even using your name. You also need to tell your health care providers to ensure that you receive appropriate care. Your health care provider may ask how you were infected to determine if you are at risk from other diseases, such as hepatitis C for injection drug users and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) for women infected through sex. If you are in a serious relationship, telling your partner is one of the first things you will probably think about. Many turn to their partners for comfort and support. However, some people may worry that they will lose their partner’s love when they disclose. It’s normal to feel nervous,

uncomfortable, or even fearful of your partner’s reaction. Disclosing your HIV status can put a strain on the best relationships. It’s important for you to think about when and how to disclose, but keeping the information to yourself for too long is probably not a good, find professional counsellor and get support. Be aware that women are at risk for violence when disclosing their HIV status. If you are worried that your partner may become violent, think about having the discussion with another person you trust such as a therapist, an HIV advocate, or a health care professional. In most cases, sharing your HIV status is a personal choice, but in the case of sexual relationships, it can be a legal requirement. It is best if you disclose your status prior to have sexual relation with anyone. Non- disclosure of HIV status in a sexual relationship can lead to a criminal, the law requires that you disclose your HIV status before knowingly exposing or transmitting HIV to someone else. You can be found guilty of an offence for not telling a sexual partner that you are HIV+ before having intimate contact. Women often choose to disclose their status to their close friends and family members whom they trust and thus they received both emotional and practical support. There are many reasons to tell people that you have HIV by getting support from family and friends, at the time of diagnosis and in the future, fostering a sense of closeness with friends and loved ones, reducing the risk of HIV transmission to others, not having to live with the stress of keeping HIV a secret, ensuring that you get the most appropriate

care and treatment from your health care providers. Disclosing can feel empowering. Disclosure is a process, so it may take several conversations. To make the disclosure process as open as possible in a safe and secure place that provides privacy, yet offers comfort and familiarity. Tell your spouse or partner that you have some important news to share. Be prepared to talk about your diagnosis in a clear way and provide basic information about what it means to live with HIV, explain that HIV can be contracted during unprotected sex and provide your partner with information about HIV testing and where he or she can get tested. Disclosure is necessary to protect the health of the spouse or sexual partner; also it will prevent the spread of HIV. The Partner Counselling and Referral Service can help you with notifying your partner. Living with a secret, such as HIV, can be more emotionally harmful than the rejection that could result from disclosure. Many people who have kept a secret for a long time feel a sense of relief after disclosing their status. However, disclosing your HIV status can also have downsides. Think carefully whom to disclose. Remember that once you disclose, you cannot take it back. Visit to your nearest Vihaan Care & Support Centre & Help Desk at Kohima, Dimapur, Kiphire, Tuensang Mokokchung , Peren, Wokha, Phek & Zunheboto and get support and guide from Counsellor, Peer Counsellor and Outreach Workers through the disclosure & partner testing.

GDRN/NNC (Non-Accord) clarify on Kiumukam statement

he GDRN/NNC (Non-Accord) would like to clarify the statement of Kiumukam which appeared in local daily on dated 22nd Sept. The GDRN/NNC (Non-Accord) once again refresh his minds on the ground of his impeachment from presidentship. Ever since the inception of NNC (Non-Accord) his favourite hobby was division among the group. The split of NNC (Non-Accord) into many groups such as NNC(Parent body, NPGN, PRN, all this happen because of his monger and his double tongue. He was a person without political vision which led the government in infant stage still. What have you done during your tenure as presidentship? What relationship with civil societies you have created? Up to what extend govt. has developed? Rather you occupied the post of president for 5 yrs was only to increase your wealth in Tuensang, Showba and in Dimapur. Where is Rs.1,20,000 meant for short hand gone? Why did you told lies to our senior leaders in this matter? Mr. Philip your bodygaurd will reveal you the truth in this episode. Have you give up you attitudes of womanizer? Have you stop going to Lahorjin? Every decision taken in Sun city (Lahorjin) shall applied to Govt. which is totally unacceptable and the shameful acts is the story of his guard commander’s wife molest, when she came to beg rice in his resident. All these for Naga sovereignty? Mr. Kiumukam was a man who is very short in decision making. As a president when things came for final approval, he used to shy away was run by few individual and outside influence even today. You took 12 bore gun in the name of govt.Rs.20,000 from Amar mill, Rs.30,000 from godrej company, from FCI contractor, state govt. HoDs in Kohima, took 5% from railway contractor with full arms and ammunition guarding him and called contractor to one of his loyal resident. The govt. inspite of its poor revenue paid

Nagaland stepping into a time bomb of Illegal Bangladeshis immigrants (IBIs)

uch is being talked about, shouted and discussed on the influx of IBIs in the social media, like on facebook, whatsapp etc. Yet, the solution to eradicate this disease is very slim. Alas, the whole issue is almost like kids singing the same chorus on Sunday school or kids repetitively reciting nursery rhymes in a preparatory school. We are all blaming the state Govt. for not implementing or executing the Inner Line Permit (ILP) Act. Yes, in some ways I too agree on the failure of the Govt. specially the executing authority. But the real answer lies in the hands of our citizens and also our duty to curb this menace. Many may not agree with me, however, as a layman I am writing to share my thoughts (which I have not targeted on any individual).

We, Nagas are saying Nagaland is facing an unemployment problem, but my answer is a BIG NO NONO. If Nagaland is having an unemployment problem then why are these IBI’s entering Nagaland on a daily basis? We are facing an unemployment problem because we are over populated by those IBIs and instead we justify by saying we Nagas are lazy, unskilled etc. Are they really skilled, trained & qualified? Therefore, in this regard I want to bring to the attention of our Nagas that we are creating this IBIs menace by ourselves by renting them our house, hiring them in our building/s, properties for business establishments and also making them our eldest son, grand children etc. As a matter of fact, to get a rented house especially in Kohima and Dimapur by our own locals is the

hardest thing/job. Whereas, it’s very easy for those IBIs to do the same I really wonder if these IBIs are using American Dollars instead of Indian Rupees. To stop the IBIs, stop taking money in advance from them to built your houses/properties, chase out all the Bangla speaking people (except Bengalis from West Bengal) from your land/ house/properties etc as they are the agents and they themselves are bringing those IBIs into our State. And as a matter of fact all Bangla speaking people are from Bangladesh/Bangladeshi breed. I salute the Ao community for not allowing IBIs in their district as well as village/colonies in and around Dimapur. Let us all follow their footsteps before Nagaland becomes another Tripura. I also appeal to all the

to burn tree leaves collected from street sweeping; f) provide training on solid waste management to wastepickers and waste collectors; g) make an application in Form-I for grant of authorisation for setting up waste processing, treatment or disposal facility, if the volume of waste is exceeding five metric tones per day including sanitary landfills from the State Pollution Control Board; h) submit application for renewal of authorisation at least sixty days before the expiry of the validity of authorisation; i) submit the annual report shall to the State Pollution Control Board by the 31st May of every year; j) create public awareness through information, education and communication campaign and educate the waste generators. 5. Duties of State Pollution Control Board a) enforce these rules in their State through local bodies in their respective jurisdiction and review implementation of these rules at least twice a year in close coordination with concerned Directorate of Municipal Administration or Secretary-incharge of State Urban Development Department; b) monitor environmental standards and adherence to conditions as specified under the Schedule I and Schedule II for waste processing and disposal sites; c) issue authorisation to the local body or an operator of a facility or any other agency authorised by local body.

Apex bodies of all TribalHoho/ Students/Churches/Associations/Organizations of Nagaland to take up this IBI issue as an Agenda on top priority in their next meeting which will indeed be a great and successful endeavour in driving them out from our land. I also appeal to the Naga Contractors/Builders to hire our Naga unemployed youth and also tie up with the Department of Employment and Craftsman Training (ITI), Youth Net and other training Institutes for skilled and unskilled employee. Lastly let us all play our part to save Nagaland our land, our soil, and our home before we step onto a time bomb of the illegal Bangladeshis immigrants (IBIs). Limhachan Kithan, Kohima Town

Rs.46,000 as his monthly maintenance but his (president) writing pad is spread all over Dimapur and even in his region (which can be varified at GDRN office) only to increase his wealth in the name of national struggle. Many time our senior official adviced him not to misuse his (president) writing pad but he has many excuses as his sole intension was to make his wealth. Regarding his arrest by 32 Assam rifles, they found many documents, demand letters, extorted amount, etc which was available in seizure list by prepared by Assam rifles and can verified at east police station, Dimapur. Therefore, he was booked under IPC 385,120b (extortion and criminal conspiracy) R/w-7 NSR’62(extortion with arms) which was make known to the public in local media (Eastern mirror and morung express) about his arrest. But on 22nd sept. he claimed that he was arrested by A.R on demand of Naga sovereignty, which was totally lie, and his liedcan be visible even in his small statement but fool cannot feel ashamed. Nagas do not want this kind of leader to lead the nation. NNC/GDRN is not govt by now nor it belong to Kiumukam. Therefore, Kiumukam must stay away from the affairs of NNC/ GDRN (Non-Accord) because he was impeached and from the day of his impeachment he becomes public. The writer of Kiumukam should open his eyes widely and publish in the dailies because your publication shows that you are not familiar with out govt. The NNC/GDRN (NonAccord),once again appeal to Khehoi campers that Khehoi camp was established and supported by the Nagas as a ‘Unified’ place for Nagas which means a ‘holy place’ so far as our observation. Therefore, if the above campers so desire to support extortionist, criminal, conspires, then where is the spirit of nationalism who are trying their best for Naga cause. MIP NNC/GDRN (Non-Accord)

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Appeal to leaders of the nations

The People’s Republic of Nagaland appeal to the Foreign and Commonwealth office (FCO) of the UK, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Global Affairs Canada to exclude Nagaland from “threat of insurgency”. The Nagas are friendly, peace loving people, Nagas are God fearing people witnessed by the world as 99% Christianity. According to your constitution in respect to Indian Constitution, the Naga political groups may be known as militants/insurgency, but as per our unique History, we stand for the people by the people. Therefore, there is no question of threat in entire Nagaland or Naga inhabited to tourist. Naga people are also a member of human race, we’re not animals, and we understand what is right and wrong, The People’s Republic of Nagaland urge leaders of the Nations to understand our unique history, and acknowledge the Naga people as friendly in your eye. Kuknalim. Ministry of Information & Publicity, NNC/PRN

New Delhi, Sep 22 (PTI): Gold raced ahead for the fifth day on firm global cues and continuous buying by jewellers, with prices gaining Rs 300 to hit a two-week high of Rs 31,550 per 10 grams in the bullion market today. Silver too soared Rs 600 to Rs 46,800 per kg following a surge in demand from industrial units and coin makers. Bullion traders said sentiment remained bullish backed by a firm trend overseas after the US Federal Reserve yesterday decided to keep interest rates steady, thus whipping up demand for the precious metal. Besides, a weaker dollar fed the bullion’s upmove. Globally, gold surged 1.54 per cent to close at USD 1,334.90 an ounce in yesterday’s trade

Out of these Reliance Jio has alone deposited Rs 6,500 crore, followed by Vodafone India at Rs 2,740 crore. The government has set an ambitious target of mopping up over Rs 5 lakh crore from the process. Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is indicative of a company’s strategy to bid in specific circles and spectrum bands. It gives them eligibility points with regard to those circles. The Finance Ministry in the Budget pegged the revenue target at Rs 98,995 crore from the telecom space, which includes Rs 64,000 crore from the auction of about 2,354.55 Mhz of spectrum and the rest from various levies and services this financial year.

Mumbai, Sep 22 (PTI): The rupee today soared by 36 paise, its biggest single-day gain in four months, to close at two-week high 66.66 a dollar on easing worries of foreign fund outflows. Investors and currency traders rejoiced as sentiment turned highly buoyant after the US Federal Reserve expectedly left the policy rate unchanged. The country’s current account deficit (CAD) narrowing sharply also boosted the sentiment. The rupee spurted by a whopping 36 paise, or 0.54 per cent - its best one-day gain since May 25 -- to settle at 66.66 a dollar. The local currency resumed on a firm footing at 66.86 as compared to previous close of 67.02 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market. It soared to intra-day high of 66.65 before concluding at 66.66. The country’s current account deficit (CAD) nar-

Besides, Jaitley outlined the government’s strategy to boost the economy through initiatives like “Make in India”, “100 smart cities”, and “liberalised FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) regime”. He elaborated that the government gives high priority to infrastructure development and has taken a number of policy decisions like NIIF (National Investment and Infrastructure Fund), REITS (Real Estate Investment Trust), INVITS (Infrastructure Investment Trusts), IDFs (Infrastructure Debt Funds). Jaitley added that BRICS member countries should share their experiences in financing and delivery of infra projects so that they can collectively move to higher quality and efficiency in the delivery of public services. In his welcome address Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said that infrastructure financing, especially in clearly demarcated projects is the need of the hour.

New Delhi, Sep 22 (IANS): Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said that infrastructure is the key to economic growth. Jaitley said this in his inaugural address at the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) India 2016 seminar on “Best Practices in Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and Long-term Infrastructure Financing”. The one day seminar was organised in the national capital by the Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, with organisational support from the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII). Delegates from BRICS countries and senior officials of the Finance Ministry, along with senior executives of private sector companies participated in the seminar. It was organised in the run up to the BRICS Summit scheduled for October, 2016. India assumed the chairmanship of BRICS in 2016. According to Jaitley, an institutionalised forum amongst BRICS countries could serve as a regional knowledge hub with exchange of information facilitated through cloud sharing, and other electronic methods. He pointed out that development projects in transportation sector like highways, ports and railways will be the area of mega economic activities as far as the infrastructure sector in India is concerned.

WASHINGTON, SEP 22 (IANS): Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is leading Republican rival Donald Trump nationally by six percentage points among likely voters, according to a new poll. In a head-to-head between the two major party nominees, Clinton’s lead expands to seven percentage points, 48 per cent to 41 per cent. Four per cent of respondents said they would not vote for president, while three per cent said they were undecided, the NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll, released on Wednesday, showed. Half of the registered voters backing Clinton said their vote was more for Clinton, while 44 per cent characterised it as more against Trump, Politico reported. On the Republican side, only 41 per cent of registered voters said their vote was for Trump, 51 per cent said it was against Clinton, the poll showed. Registered voters gave Trump the edge as the candidate who would be best in dealing with the economy, but they favoured Clinton when it came to dealing with immigration, changing the country for the better, being a good Commander-in-Chief and handling nuclear weapons.

No room for another ethnic war: Sirisena

UNITED NATIONS, SEP 22 (PTI): There will not be a repeat of the ethnic war with Tamils, Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena has assured the international community as he sought their help to make the country a nation “devoid of differences”. Addressing the 71st session of the UN General Assembly, Sirisena said his government would preserve Sri Lanka’s independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty while chartering the country’s democratic journey based on an indigenous thinking. He said Sri Lanka has in recent months taken many steps for socio-economic transformation, leaving no room for the repeat of the separatist war. He appealed to the international community for support to make Sri Lanka a modern nation devoid of differences. Sirisena, who defeated the Sinhala-majority favoured Mahinda Rajapaksa, has introduced several political reforms since being elected President in 2015. He has made an attempt to address the concerns of the Tamil minority to achieve reconciliation. Tamils, however, say a lot more is needed to be done.

SYDNEY, SEP 22 (IANS): The analysis of the debris found in the Indian Ocean from the Malaysian Airlines plane showed no signs of exposure to fire, official sources said Thursday. The investigation focused on two fibre pieces found near Sainte Luce in southeastern Madagascar in June. The pieces were handed over to Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) on September 12. The remains -- which the press had reported were burned -- could not be associated with the missing airplane, said Australian Transport Minister Darren Chester, Efe news agency reported. “At this stage it is not possible to determine whether the debris is from MH370 or indeed even a Boeing 777,” Chester said in a statement. He further specified they found “no manufacturing identifiers, that provided clues as to the items’ origins”. He also stressed that “contrary to speculation, there is no evidence the item was exposed to heat or fire”. Australia is leading the operation, which includes Malaysia and China, to search for the wreckage of MH370 in an 120,000-sq. km area of the Indian Ocean off the Western Australia coast, which is expected to conclude in December. So far, pieces have been recovered from beaches in Reunion Island, Mozambique, Mauritius, South Africa and the French island of Rodrigues, and the authorities have confirmed the debris to be from the missing plane.

UNITED NATIONS, SEP 22 (IANS): Efforts need to be intensified for Security Council reforms, Ministers from India, Brazil, Germany and Japan said in a statement on Wednesday after reviewing the status of process. The G4 ministers welcomed what they saw as “expressions of flexibility” by several countries during the negotiating sessions that finally made some progress, but said that “substantial progress was still limited and that efforts need to be intensified to build further momentum and to arrive at real text-based negotiations.” The reform process that has been languishing for over two decades, received a boost when the General Assembly finally approved in 2014 the

adoption of negotiating text so that substantive discussion could be held. The Inter-governmental Negotiations (IGN), as the process is known, began in earnest during the current session of the Assembly but lost momentum. The G4 countries jointly lobby for expanding the Council and mutually support each other for permanent seats on an expanded body. The meeting was convened by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and was attended by M.J.Akbar, India’s Minister of State for External Affairs, Brazilian Foreign Minister Jose Serra and Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida. The ministers “expressed their support for equitable

regional representation, underscoring the imperative for Africa’s representation in both the permanent and non-permanent membership as well as adequate and continuing representation of small and medium sized Member States, including the Small Island Developing States, in a reformed Security Council.” At the General Assembly on Wednesday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spoke of the urgency in getting the reforms process moving. “If we do not carry out the reform Security Council now it will easily be put off for a a decade or two,” he said. “Will we stand in the position of of harming the values of the UN? Or will we wish for a strengthening of the Security council?”

COPENHAGEN, SEP 22 (IANS): The Indigenous Australians are the most ancient continuous civilisation on the Earth, with their origins dating back to 50,000 years ago, an extensive study of their DNA has revealed. In the study published this week in human origins paper Nature, scientists were able to trace the journey made by intrepid ancient humans by sifting through clues left in the DNA of modern populations in Australia and Papua New Guinea, the Guardian reported on Wednesday. The study showed that they were probably the first humans to cross an ocean. Professor Eske Willerslev, an evolutionary geneticist who led the work at the University of Copenhagen, said: “This story has been missing for a long time in science. Now we know their relatives are the guys who were the first real human explorers. Our ancestors were sitting being kind of scared of the world while they set out on this exceptional journey across Asia and across the sea.” The study revealed that early humans would have encountered other roving hominin species, including an unknown human relative who has now been shown to have contributed around 4 per cent to the Indigenous Australian genome. Willerslev’s study also resolves around the apparent discrepancy between genetic findings implying that indigenous populations have been in Australia for tens of thousands of years and the fact that the languages spoken by these populations are only around 4,000 years old.

North Korea has just 28 websites Bashar al-Assad blames US for Syria truce collapse

WASHINGTON, SEP 22 (AGENCIES): North Korea, like many countries, has its own country code top-level domain name. This means any Web address that ends with “.kp” is linked to the notoriously isolated nation, much like addresses that end “.de” are linked to Germany and “.jp” are linked to Japan, reports The Washington Post. What’s unusual, however, is how few websites actually use that address. Thanks to an apparent mistake, North Korea has revealed that only 28 websites use the “.kp” domain name. That’s a remarkably small number. To put it in perspective, more than 16 million addresses end with Germany’s “.de” domain name. Many of the websites with the “.kp” domain name are familiar to North Korea watchers. They include kcna. kp or rodong.rep.kp, which belong to the state news agency and the state newspaper, re-

spectively, or the website of Air Koryo, the national airline. But others are more unusual. One, apparently titled “Friend” at the address friend. com.kp, appeared to be some kind of social network. Another - cooks.org.kp - showed off recipes, while korfilm. com.kp was devoted to North Korean movies. All seem to be in keeping with the rudimentary Web design skills that are a hallmark of North Korea’s online presence. In fact, many of the websites appeared to have stopped functioning at all by Wednesday morning. Their administrators were perhaps unprepared for the traffic coming their way after Doug Madory, a researcher at Internet monitor Dyn, uploaded the details of the “.kp” domain name to GitHub, a website popular with programmers, on Tuesday.

servers, had noticed that North Korea’s system administrators had made a mistake that allowed outside users to query websites that used the “.kp” name. His discovery soon made its way to Reddit, where thousands of users quickly began exploring the websites they found. “Bet NK has one less DNS administrator now,” one Reddit user observed. Perhaps, but there’s no major revelations in the “.kp” domain. The small number of websites that use the domain isn’t exactly surprising - only a few thousand North Korean citizens, if that, have access to the Internet.

DAMASCUS, SEP 22 (AGENCIES): President Bashar Assad rejected US accusations that Syrian or Russian planes struck an aid convoy in Aleppo or that his troops were preventing food from entering the city’s rebelheld eastern neighbourhoods, blaming the US for the collapse of a cease-fire many had hoped would bring relief to the warravaged country. In an interview with The Associated Press in Damascus, Assad also said deadly US airstrikes on Syrian troops last week were intentional, dismissing American officials’ statements that they were an accident. Assad said the US lacked

“the will” to join forces with Russia in fighting extremists. Assad, who inherited power from his father and is now in his 16th year in office, cut a confident figure during the interview, a sign of how his rule, which once seemed threatened by the rebellion, has been solidified by his forces’ military advances and by the air campaign of his ally Russia, which turned the tables on the Bashar al-Assad battlefield last year. He said his enemies alone his troops. He said the war was were to blame for nearly six only likely to “drag on” because years of devastation across of continued external support Syria, and while acknowledging some mistakes, he repeatedly denied any excesses by

for his opponents. “When you have many external factors that you don’t control, it’s going to drag on and no one in this world can tell you when” the war will end, he said, insisting Syrians who fled the country could return within a few months if the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar stopped backing insurgents. He spoke yesterday in Damascus’ Muhajireen palace, a white-stone building where he often receives guests, nestled among trees on the foothills of Qasioun Mountain.

The man was not shot by police who had massed in riot gear to keep the marchers outside an upscale downtown hotel, Charlotte officials announced on Twitter.

Pat McCrory announced late on Wednesday he was accepting a request from Charlotte’s police chief, declaring a state of emergency and calling in the National Guard and state troopers to help restore order and protect downtown. Destr uctive protests Tuesday that included shutting down eight-lane Interstate 85 and burning the contents of a tractor-trailer turned violent on Wednesday. Along with the man critically injured, paramedics said two other people and six police officers suffered minor injuries. Wednesday’s protest started as a downtown prayer vigil, but an angry group left the peaceful event and marched through downtown Charlotte. They shouted “black lives matter” and “hands up; don’t shoot” while cursing at officers with bicycles blocking intersections in Charlotte’s flashy and vibrant downtown. As the protesters approached the Omni hotel, officers in riot gear lined up outside arm in arm and a few marchers threw bottles and clods of dirt.

India’s official entry to Oscars is Tamil film Visaranai R

Iron Maiden go to war with ticket touts

amil film Visaranai, directed by Vetrimaran and produced by Dhanush, is India’s official entry for Academy Awards 2017 in the Foreign Language Film category. The film had earlier won three National Awards including best Tamil film. The critically-acclaimed film is based on police brutality and is adapted from M Chandrakumar’s novel Lock Up. This choice has for the second year in running bucked the trend of choosing Hindi language films for the prestigious awards. Earlier Tamil films such as Jeans, Indian, Kurithipunal, Devar Magan, Anjali, Nayagan, Deiva Magan were chosen as India’s official entries for Oscar awards. Based on lives of four migrant workers who are accused of a crime they never committed, Visaranai shows these migrant workers from Tamil Nadu being picked on by the police in Guntur. This leads to them being enmeshed in a web of crime and politics and they are finally killed in an encounter. The movie has similarities to some real-life events.

Brad Pitt vows to fight Angelina Jolie for custody of their six children

ock band Iron Maiden are introducing a series of measures, including paperless tickets, in an effort to combat touts on their forthcoming UK tour. It means that fans will not receive printed tickets - but will have to present photo ID and a credit card when they arrive at the venue. The band say they hope it will stop tickets changing hands for “ludicrously inflated” prices on resale websites. They join the likes of One Direction and The Pixies in addressing the issue. “We do not want our fans being ripped off either by counterfeit tickets or through costly mark-ups on so-called secondary ticketing websites,” said Iron Maiden’s manager Rod Smallwood. “These problems now affect the UK more than any other country outside of the USA.” He said paperless ticketing had helped combat touts on Iron Maiden’s recent North American tours. The band is

also employing other measures to prevent fraud. A limit of four tickets per person has been set, and a dedicated team will monitor transactions for suspicious activity. Tickets found to have been bought by touts will be retrospectively cancelled and put back on sale, the band added. At venues where the paperless system is not 100% enforceable, tickets will have the purchaser’s name printed onto them; and they will be required to show photo ID before seeing the show. Dates for the band’s tour will be announced on Friday. Ticketmaster are providing the technology to make paperless ticketing possible - despite having a slice of the secondary market via their ownership of Get Me In!.

rad Pitt is reportedly under investigation by the LAPD and L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services for allegedly getting verbally abusive and physical with his children. But a source close to Brad told TMZ he strenuously denied any abuse of his children. According to TMZ, sources said Jolie, Pitt and their six children were on a private jet last Wednesday where he allegedly got drunk. He then allegedly screamed and got physical with their children. According to TMZ, sources including witnesses said Pitt continued on the tarmac, and tried to leave in one of the fuel trucks. TMZ sources report that

someone anonymously reported the incident to the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services. It is understood that Pitt and Jolie have already been interviewed and DCFS plans to interview the kids as well. That investigation is ongoing. A source close to Pitt reportedly told TMZ: “He takes the matter very seriously and says he did not commit any abuse of his children”. “It’s unfortunate that people involved are continuing to present him in the worst possible light.” But sources said Pitt will fight hard, saying sole physical custody “for either of them doesn’t seem like what’s best for the children.”

United, City progress in League Cup

Michael Carrick is surrounded by his Manchester United team-mates after opening the scoring at Northampton.

London, Sep 22 (Agencies): Two er rors from Nor thampton goalkee per Adam Smith proved the difference as Manchester United booked their place in the EFL Cup fourth round with a 3-1 victory over their League One opponents. Smith was penalised on 17 minutes when he picked up a backpass and from the resulting free-kick, Wayne Rooney’s weak effort was blocked and the ball fell into the path of Michael Carrick who guided home a lovely strike from 18 yards. The Cobblers were level just before the break when Alex Revell equalised from

the penalty spot after a trio of mistakes from Marco Rojo, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Daley Blind. Ander Herrera restored Jose Mourinho’s side’s advtnage on 68 minutes with a superb drive from distance. Substitute Marcus Rashford sealed the win seven minutes later when Smith hesitated with a clearance and the young striker nipped in to take the ball off him and lash it into the empty net. Manchester City cruised to victory in Wales as they beat Swansea City 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium. A rare Gael Clichy goal put the Premier League side ahead not long after the

break before Alex Garcia put City in control by adding a second. Substitute Gylfi Sigurdsson scored a late consolation for the hosts who were outclassed on the night. Vincent Kompany returned for Pep Guardiola’s side after over five months out with injuries. Paddy McNair scored twice as Sunderland came from behind to beat QPR at Loftus Road. The hosts went ahead on the hour mark when Sandro found the back of the net with a half-volley from a corner. However, Manchester United midfielder McNair equalised just 10 minutes later

Sports plan targets 50 medals at 2024 Games

NEW DELHI, Sep 22 (Agencies): With India winning only two medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Niti Aayog has come out with a 20point plan of action, including implementation of controversial sports bill which limit age and tenure of office-bearers of sports federations to identifying ten priority sports on the lines of countries like Kenya and Jamaica with a target to win 50 medals in 2024 Olympics. The Aayog’s plan also recommends that the schools should include sports as part of their curriculum and award marks, besides advocating equal pay for sports teachers.

The other recommendations are harnessing the potential of national sports talent especially in tribal, rural and coastal areas, recruiting world-class coaches and grading them as per performance and upgrading existing training centres. The action plan, released by the government’s think tank on Wednesday for public comments, suggests to identify ten priority sports with high winning potential, as well as those in which India has won medals in the past. In a bid to clean up the sports management, it has also suggested annual performance review of sports bodies, infrastructure and sportspersons.

Srikanth advances to quarter-finals of Japan Open TOKYO, Sep 22 (PTI): Rio Olympics quarter-finalist Kidambi Srikanth emerged as the lone survivor at the Japan Open after he reached the last eight stage of the men’s singles competition at the Super Series event on Thursday. However, it wasn’t the sort of victory that Srikanth would have ever wished for as his match against compatriot Ajay Jayaram was stopped midway after the 28-year-old Mumbaibased shuttler injured his left ankle. Jayaram retired following the end of the opening game, which went in favour of Srikanth 21-16. “I injured by left ankle but it doesn’t look serious so hopefully with proper rest for a few days, I should be ready for Korea Open,” Jayaram said. The Eighth seeded Indian will next face Germany’s Marc Zwiebler. Srikanth has a 2-1 record against the German, who defeated the Indian during the 2014 edition of the same tournament. It was also not a good day in office for HS Prannoy as he went down fighting 16-21, 19-21 against second seed Viktor Axelsen of Denmark in a 44-minute battle.

U-16 AFC Cup: India bow out with 0-3 loss to Iran Margao, Sep 22 (PTI): Mohammad Sharifi struck twice in final few minutes as Iran recorded a convincing 3-0 win to oust 10-man India from the AFC U16 Football Championship, here on Wednesday. The Iran boys entered the quarter-finals from group A. Iran controlled proceedings throughout with Mohammad Ghaderi scoring in the 23rd minute while Sharifi was on target in the 81st and 90+1 minute. Thus, Iran along with UAE, who both finishing with seven points each from group A, made it to the quarter-finals along with Japan, Uzbekistan and North Korea. India along with Saudi Arabia finished the competition with a point each. Iran played short passes amongst themselves following it up with long ball moves to keep the home team defence under constant pressure. India defended foggedly until 23rd minute when they conceded goal through K Y M C

quick counter. Midfielder Ghaderi, who kept the pressure on the home team with his constant sprints down wide left initiated the move as he played a one-two with Vahid Namdari before a rasping shot crashed onto the roof of the net. India made occasional forays and came close to scoring once but Komal Thatal shot from a Sanjeev Stalin assist went straight into the rival keeper’s gloves. Unable to create impact on the rival goal in the first half, India’s coach Nicolai Adam brought in Aniket Jadhav in place of Mohamad Rakip. But hosts received a jolt when they were reduced to 10 men after defender Boris Thangjam was sent off by referee Yaqoob Said Abdullah Abdul Baqi of Oman for a second bookable offence on rival player. Iran kept up the pressure to earn a couple of penalties, which Sharifi converted to make it 3-0.

when he scored after playing a nice one-two. He then tapped home with 10 minutes remaining to seal the Black Cats’ place in the next round. A trademark free-kick from Dimitri Payet in the sixth minute of injury time earned West Ham the win against the desperately unlucky Accrington Stanley. The League Two side seemed to have brought the game into extra time but the France midfielder broke their hearts with a stunning strike. The Hammers had struggled to carve out many clear openings against the visitors as they again struggled to get going. However, Slaven Bilic will hope Payet’s dramatic intervention can kickstart their season. Spurs br ushed aside League One Gillingham 5-0 at White Hart Lane. Christian Eriksen opened the scoring with a cracking 25-yard strike and added a second just after the restart to put the hosts in cruise control. Summer signing Vincent Janssen then got his first for the club from the penalty spot minutes later. Erik Lamela and Josh Onomah were grabbed the fourth and fifth not long after the hour-mark to give Spurs the easiest of wins. Stoke City’s miserable start to the campaign continued as Hull City came from 1-0 down to beat the Potters at the Britannia Stadium. Marko Arnautovic put Mark Hughes’ side ahead on 24 minutes but former Spurs midfielder Ryan Mason squared the game on half-time. The game appeared destined for extra time until Markus Henriksen grabbed a winner in stoppage time.

Rome Mayor withdraws 2024 Olympic bid ROME, Sep 22 (Agencies): Rome’s bid to host the 2024 summer Olympics was dealt a potentially fatal blow after the city’s mayor, Virginia Raggi, said she would not give her formal backing. Giovanni Malago, the president of Italy’s Olympic Committee (CONI), said last week the committee would abandon its bid to host the Games in the event Raggi refused to give her backing. In an emphatic speech in front of bid supporters, opposition and media in Rome on Wednesday, Raggi was unequivocal. “This is our position: it is irresponsible to say yes to this candidature,” she told a packed media conference. “We are effectively asking the people of Rome and of Italy to shoulder the debts (accrued by hosting the Games).

I say no to another concrete Olympics.” Malago had previously pledged that the estimated 5.3 bn euro budget for the 2024 Games would come exclusively from the Olympic Committee, sponsors and state coffers. But Raggi added: “Boston, Hamburg and Madrid all had strong reasons to oppose hosting the Games. As Rome mayor I believe this bid is unsustainable. We don’t need more white elephants. We need to restore the existing facilities, make the entry prices affordable to our citizens.” The decision now leaves Paris as the favourites to host the 2024 Games although the French capital, which lost out to London in 2012, will be battling Los Angeles and Budapest.

India collapse to 291/9 vs NZ on Day 1

New Zealand seamer Mitchell Santner celebrates with his teammates after dismissing K.L. Rahul on the opening day of the first Test match at Green Park in Kanpur on Thursday. (PTI) Kanpur, Sep 22 (PTI): India frittered away a solid start as a middle-order collapse saw them reduced to 291 for 9 on the opening day of the first cricket Test against New Zealand despite halfcenturies from Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara, here today. After electing to bat in the historic 500th Test, India were comfortably placed at 154 for riding on 112-run second wicket stand between Vijay (65) and Pujara (62).

However a disciplined bowling effort complemented by some inept shot selection by middle and lower order saw four wickets for 16 runs after the second new ball was taken. Rohit Sharma (35) once again got a start only to throw it away at the fag end of the day. Ravichandran Ashwin was well set before being dismissed to a brilliant delivery from Trent Boult. While left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner (3/77)

rocked the top-order, it was Boult, who looked menacing with the second new ball finishing with figures of 3/57 in 17 overs. All his wickets during the last 10 overs of the day. Ravindra Jadeja was batting on 11 at the end of the day with Umesh Yadav (8). The Green Park track was not a rank turner on the first day itself but it did offer some assistance to the spinners. The Kiwis fielded three

spinners – Santner, offie Mark Craig and leg-break bowler Ish Sodhi, who bowled 59 out of the 90 overs. India were comfortably placed at 154 for 1 after losing KL Rahul (32) but lost four wickets in gap of 15 overs, spread over two sessions to get into the backfoot. Rohit (35) and Ashwin (40) combined for a fighting 52–run stand for the sixth wicket. In an important phase in his Test career, Rohit was expected to fire and he showed some early promise before trying to chip one off Santner over mid-on but was holed out by Sodhi. The other two Indian batsmen who played poor shots were skipper Virat Kohli (9) who fell for Neil Wagner’s short ball mistiming a pullshot. Boult, in his final spell of the day, got rid of Ashwin wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha (0) and Mohammed Shami (0) nearly polishing off the Indian tail. Wriddhiman and Shami got identical deliveries that jagged back in from three quarter length breaching their defence. Ashwin got one that was full and kicked up from good length as he gloved it to Ross Taylor at wide second slip.

The visitors deployed the suffocating defence on Wednesday that has made Atletico the least favourite opponent for star-studded attacking sides like Barca and Real Madrid, reports Efe. Barcelona managed just three shots on goal in the first 40 minutes, all of them from a distance. Visiting keeper Jan Oblak turned aside efforts by Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, while a rocket from Neymar went just wide off the net. The hosts opened the scoring in the 41st minute on a set piece, thanks to a magnificent header by Ivan Rakitic off a cross from Iniesta. Atletico’s Antoine Griez-

mann sought to take the game to Barcelona in the early going after the half-time break, forcing Marc-Andre ter Stegen to make a stop on one occasion and lofting a ball harmlessly into the stands on his second try. The first signs of trouble for Barca arrived in the form of injuries to Sergio Busquets, who went off in the 51st minute, and to Messi, who left just before the hour mark. Smelling blood, Atletico coach Diego Simeone sent in Fernando Torres and Angel Correa to press for the equaliser. He didn’t have to wait long. Torres got the ball near midfield and fed it to Correa, and the Argentine exploited a miscue by defender Javier Mascherano to barge into the area and beat Ter Stegen with a low shot in the 61st minute.

Undaunted, Barca came roaring back, with Neymar challenging Oblak twice. Neymar provided perfect service to Gerard Pique on a free kick after a foul, but the defender’s header went just wide. Jordi Alba would have made it 2-1 for Barcelona minutes later if a deflection had not sent his shot over the cross-bar. With five minutes left in regulation, the stands at Camp Nou buzzed with expectation of the goal that would seal an epic victory. Atletico, however, refused to cooperate and Diego Godin produced a corner for the visitors with a thundering header that Ter Stegen had to stretch to tip over the cross-bar, taking more seconds off the clock. Nothing came of the pair of chances Barça generated in the three minutes of stoppage time added on by the referee.

Gabala, Sep 22 (IANS): Indian shooters took bronze in the men’s team Trap event on the final day of the ISSF Junior World Cup here on Thursday. Lakshaya and Kismat Chopra along with Manavaditya Singh Rathore finished third in the men’s Trap event when they shot a team total of 347 points out of a possible 375. Italy notched 360 to win gold in the event while Australia finished a point ahead of India to claim silver.

Rathore qualified for the individual bronze medal match-up in the event, being part of two shoot-offs in the lead up, but had to be content with the fourth place eventually. Earlier, both Manavaditya and Lakshaya were at the tied fifth place with two other shooters on a score of 118 at the end of the qualifying round of 125 shots each. Only six shooters qualify for the final rounds. In the ensuing shoot-off, Manavaditya

and Chinese shooter Chengjiang Liu were on target with their first two shots and qualified. Lakshaya missed his second and the other Kazakh shooter, Nikolay Belskiy, missed his first, to be placed seventh and eighth respectively.
