ENCSU suspends phase-II agitation Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 6 (NPN): Eastern Nagaland College Students’ Union (ENCSU) has decided to keep its phase-II agitation in abeyance following an assurance from the state government to conduct counselling in three phases.

In a press release, ENCSU chairman Longre Chang and joint secretary Nokchem Angth said an assurance letter they received stated that the department, during an emergency convened by the chief secretary at his official residence on September 6, 2016 at 9.30 a.m., decided to conduct the counselling in three phases as per verbal advice/instruction given by the government. The letter also purportedly stated that the next and third counselling would be conducted after the approval of cabinet/ government.

ENCSU has, however, cautioned that it would resume phase-III agitation at any point in time if the decision of the cabinet was not according to its demands. ENCSU is demanding that the department of higher and technical education resolve the issue concerning the 15% reservation for backward tribes in the NSEE II exam.

ENCSU has expressed gratitude to Angami People Organization (APO), Angami Youth Organization (AYO), Eastern Nagaland People Union Kohima (ENPUK), media, administration, police, citizens of the capital and all the students for their cooperation. Meanwhile, the union has apologised to the office of Angami Students’ Union (ASU) for not being able to send official copy of information about ongoing agitation.

Youths involved in gang fight in Kma Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 6 (NPN): Over forty youths were involved in gang fight, Tuesday evening around 7.40 p.m. at Box Cutting Road Kohima.

This was the second such incident in the same vicinity.

On September 23, 2015, one youth was killed when two groups got involved in a gang fight. On Tuesday, soon after receiving information of the fight, police, citizens of Officers’ Hill colony and members of Officers’ Hill Youth Organization (OHYO) swung into action and controlled the situation. However, most of the youths fled from the scene on seeing the police squad and the group of colony citizens. Police were able to arrest few of them and taken into custody, police sources said.

M e a n w h i l e, O H YO president Keneisezo Kera and Officers’ Hill Colony Council (OHCC) Action committee convenor Seyiekhrietuo Suokhrie said people continue to indulge in illegal activities without paying heed to warnings issued during surprise checking. Reaffirming the resolution adopted by the colony, OHYO and OHCC have warned that the colony would initiate stringent action against any defaulters without any further warning.

Rajkhowa refuses to quit

ASEAN key to development of NE states, says Modi Says ‘I want the President to dismiss me’ NEW DELHI, SEP 6 (IANS):

Guwahati, Sep 6 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa, who claimed the Centre has asked him to step down citing “health grounds”, has refused to resign, saying he wants the President to dismiss him.

“I want the President to dismiss me. I will not resign.

Let the President express his displeasure. Let the government use provisions of Article 156 of the Constitution,” the Governor told a Guwahatibased TV news channel yesterday.

Rajkhowa said that he had been asked to resign “on health grounds” weeks after the Supreme Court had restored the Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh censuring him.

He said, “I have fully recovered from my illness and I have been discharging my duties after complete recovery.

If they want me to quit, the prime minister and his cabinet will have to recommend the same to the President, who will then issue an order under specific provisions of the Constitution.”

“Even a fourth grade employee of the government has to be given in writing if the government wants him or her to resign or even go on leave.

I am a Governor and this is a Constitutional post,” he said.

Stating on August 27 night a well-known person

Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa

from Guwahati had informed him over telephone that the government wanted him to resign on health grounds, Rajkhowa said, “I was shocked, surprised and felt humiliated.”

“I asked the person to inform whoever in the government wants me to quit to call me directly. When there was no such call, I called up the Union Home Minister (Rajnath Singh) and asked if it was true or false. But the Home Minister clearly told me over telephone that he knew nothing about it.

“Instead, he started telling me that I was doing good work in Arunachal Pradesh.

But when I called up another central minister, he called me back on August 30 and said that a decision had been taken at a high level for me to resign on health grounds and vacate my post by August 31,” he said.

Rajkhowa said he informed the particular minister that he had returned to Ar-

UNTABA on inclusion of Naga inhabited areas DIMAPUR, SEP 6 (NPN): United Naga Tribes Association on Border Areas (UNTABA) has reiterated on its “consistent stand” for inclusion of the integration of the Naga inhabited areas and returning of all the traditional Naga territories in the present “anticipated” Peace Accord between the NSCN (I-M) and the government of India.

“If integration of the Naga inhabited areas and return of all the traditional Naga territories are not included... the accord will have no meaning for the Naga people,” said UNTABA chairman, Hukavi T. Yeputhomi and general secretary Imsumongba Pongen in a press statement.

UNTABA said based on the commitment made by the government of India in “written agreement” in 1947, NNC had agreed to join the newly formed Union of India. But, since the government of India failed to fulfil its commitment, NNC went on to declare unilateral ‘Plebiscite’ in 1951, declaring that Nagaland is for the Nagas

only.Therefore, UNTABA said government of India should not shift its responsibilities but seriously reflect on its past failures and sincerely uphold its “professed policies and present understanding made so far” in bringing about acceptable and honorable Peace Accord with the Naga people by fulfilling its promises made in the ‘9 Points Agreement’.

In this regard, UNTABA fervently appealed to all the stakeholders to firmly stand on bringing about final Naga political settlement based on historical facts. UNTABA said it had also observed the good progresses on discourses and inputs on the framework agreement and the ongoing peace talk between the Government of India (GoI) and the NSCN (I-M) from all the stakeholders.

This, UNTABA said would be appreciable, if the government of India not only recognize the unique history but also understand the deeper stand of the Naga people on its ‘legitimate right’ for integration.

unachal Pradesh 47 days ago after medical treatment and has been working since August 13 last.

“I also told him that I am totally fit now. What is my fault that I have been asked to go on medical or health grounds?” the Governor said.

The former bureaucrat who was appointed as Governor in June last year said, “I do not have a single blot in my long career. The government must have appointed me as Governor on the basis of my spotless track record. I feel very humiliated. It was a bolt from the blue.”

“For the Governor’s post, I never met or approached any BJP leader whether at the local level or that of the PM,” the former Assam Chief Secretary said. Stating that he was prepared to vacate the Raj Bhavan instantly on receiving the President’s order, Rajkhowa said, “I have kept all my belongings packed since August 30. I have also told my office that if the order (regarding the dismissal) arrives in Raj Bhavan, they should immediately inform me and I will not stay even one minute after that.” On July 13, the Supreme Court had ordered restoration of the Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh by quashing all decisions of the Governor precipitating its fall in January, holding them “violative” of the Constitution.

DIMAPUR, SEP 6 (NPN): Exposing the dubious way in which the state government and Airports Authority of India (AAI) reneged on the rate of land compensation to landowners of Aoyimti village for extension of the Dimapur airport Aoyimti Village Council (AVC) in a letter addressed to DC Dimapur dated August 16,2016 disclosed that its numerous appeals for withdrawal of the November 28,2009 letter before negotiations could restart for land deal, were simply ignored.

AVC chairman T. Lima Pongen in a statement revealed that the villagers had quoted Rs.600 per sq.feet as compensation but that the land owners finally agreed to the proposal of the authorities for Rs.450 per sq. feet and which was conveyed vide their letter dated October 16,2009.

However, AVC claimed, that without providing any opportunity to the village, the joint meeting of the AAI with state chief secretary in presence of the chief minister and

CM promotes Nagaland at Pangkor Dialogue

T.R. Zeliang addressing the gathering at the 4th Edition of the Pangkor Dialogue in Malaysia’s Ipoh city, Perak on Tuesday. (CMO)

DIMAPUR, SEP 6 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang who is in Malaysia to attend the 4th Edition of the Pangkor Dialogue at Ipoh city of Perak, took the opportunity to promote Nagaland, the people and the historic turn of events that took place in the state.

Drawing attention of hundreds of delegates from across the world, CMO media cell in a press note said, Zeliang in his speech on Tuesday shared his experiences and knowledge about the State, which he said some could find beneficial.

He spoke of the Battle of Kohima, considered as the greatest battle fought by the allied forces during the WW-II. He enlightened the gathering with the words inscribed in the monolith erected in honour of the valiant dead: “When you go home tell them of us, and say for your tomorrow we gave our today.”

Speaking of the epitaph, Zeliang urged upon all to cor-

relate the words while considering the general principles of sustainable development.

“The impor tance of maintaining and improving the quality of life and at the same time ensuring that decisions made today, take into consideration social, economic, and environmental consequences for the future,” he said.

This fundamentally entails sacrifices on the part of the present generation so that the future societies can continue to live and survive, Zeliang said. “Sustainable development, therefore, also means containing our needs that very often turns into greed”, Zeliang added.

Sharing with the leaders the political realities in Nagaland, Zeliang pointed out that the traditional Naga way of life, like many societies of the South East Asian nations, did not quite get along well with Western concept of Parliamentary democracy. He also stated that the concept of

parliamentary secretary in –charge transport, through a letter dated November 28,2009 said it was decided that the rate of Rs.450 per sq feet was “too exorbitant” and also cited that presence of National Highway 39 in front of the airport and also petrol pumps near the airport hindered scope for extension of the airport.

AVC said the DC has in a letter dated April 5,2016 wrote about the proposed extension of the airport and to which it wrote a letter dated April 14,2016 for revocation of the November 28,2009 letter.

Thereafter, AVC delegation met with the DC Dimapur on June 23,2016 to renew appeal for withdrawal of the November 28,2009 letter but discovered that the letter dated April 14,2016 addressed to the DC Dimapur had never been endorsed to him by his subordinates.

The AVC had responded to the letter issued by the Revenue Officer dated June 23,2016 to the AVC to initiate dialogue

with landowners. However, but said it could not do so unless the November 28,2009 decision was revoked first.

AVC then met with DC Dimapur on July 11,2016 to press for revocation of above letter(Nov.2009) after which the DC agreed to furnish minutes of the November 28,2009 meeting of the SLAA but that the meeting minutes could not be traced in office.

As per advice of the DC Dimapur, the AVC convened a general meeting on August 6,2016 wherein it reaffirmed to demand revocation of the November 28,2009 letter of the SLAA. AVC m a i n t a i n e d i t should not be treated as a stumbling block to airport extension in view of the above but that the authority involved should be blamed for not responding to numerous appeals. It also pointed out that NH 39 and petrol pumps in the vicinity existed long before the present airport became operational and extension planned.

DIMAPUR, SEP 6 (NPN): In an interesting development, Kohima police recovered two stolen cars that were put up on sale online on Facebook shopping group and arrested five persons, Sr. SP Kohima, Joseph Hesso informed in a press note.

Hesso said after receiving specific inputs, police deployed some decoy source to make contact with the gang dealing with the stolen vehicles.

Officers from North PS initiated the move, as customers, to purchase the stolen vehicle (Maruti Swift Dzire).

The gang was under scanner as negotiation was underway, police said. Later, after finalizing the price, the decoy customer lured the gang members to meet up mid way between Kohima and Dimapur with the vehcile. On September 5, North PS personnel consisting of cut-off team, quick response team and decoy customer were deployed at Piphema where the transaction was to take place. Three gang members showed up in a Santro Zing (black color NL07-

Ceasefire, an opportunity to move forward: Rev. Keyho

Ahead of his visit to Laos to attend the 14th India-Asean Summit and the 11th East Asia Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that southeast Asia is the key to the development of India’s North Eastern region.

“Asean is a key partner for our Act East Policy, which is vital for the economic development of our North Eastern region,” Modi said in a predeparture statement posted on his Facebook page.

Modi will attend the annual India-Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) annual summit on September 7 and East Asia summit on September 8.

“Our strategic partnership with Asean is also important for safeguarding and promoting our security interests and countering traditional and non-traditional security challenges in the region,” Modi said. His statement assumes significance in the wake of his visit to Vietnam on Friday and Saturday. “Our ties with the countries of South East Asia are truly historic,” Modi stated, adding that “our engagement and approach can be best encapsulated in just one word – connectivity.”

“During the visit, I will also have the opportunity to interact with the leaders of participating countries to discuss bilateral issues of mutual concern,” he said.

Kohima, Sep 6 (NPN): Ceasefire was never to “make us comfortable” but an opportunity to move forward, said the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) general secretary, Rev. Dr. Zelhou Keyho at the 52nd anniversary commemoration of Indo-Naga Ceasefire Day here on Tuesday.

He said that ceasefire was not only to stop the hostility between two warring enemies and “save us” from the terror of hunting each other, but to “give us hope” to stand on an equal footing with the force, which “sought to destroy

Universal Adult franchise was something new to the Naga people resulting in glaring material corruption and faulty electoral practices in the State.

He went on to laud the ‘Clean Election Campaign’ launched by the Church in its attempt to cleanse the malpractice in the electioneering process. Zeliang went on to share the positive and novel developments in the State such as Communitisation of public services such as Education, Health services, electricity etc. which he said were being managed by the villagers themselves. In recognition, Zeliang told the gathering that the United Nations awarded Nagaland for instituting such a reform.

He also highlighted issues such as environmental degradation and climate change that has adversely affected Nagaland in the recent past in the form of drought-like situation, damaging hailstones and cyclones in various parts of the State.

us”, and “give us a platform to dialogue and negotiate for our rights.”

The programme, organized by NBCC, was held at Chedema peace camp to commemorate the ceasefire that was signed between the Government of India and the Federal Government of Nagaland on September 6, 1964 with the intervention of NBCC. Rev. Keyho appreciated and thanked those who took the pain and put effort to sign the ceasefire agreement, which came at a time when Nagaland was caught up in a warlike situation. He said Nagas in general suffered untold miseries, their homes were burnt down to

ashes and the common and the innocent citizens, regardless of who they were, become prime suspects and suffered torturous treatment and abuse, and the Naga national workers were hunted like animals in and out of the jungles.

NBCC general secretary recalled that in such a situation, the ceasefire came as an interim relief for the Nagas. However, he said ceasefire was not final in itself. Rev. Keyho said it was not an achievement but a springboard upon which greater things were to happen though it was a relief to end hostility, reckless operations and killings of the innocents in “our land”. “It was neither an end, nor a final achievement,” he said.

Reverend lamented that today the end seemed to have been buried deep inside “our selfishness” and in the ever luring temptation to be comfortable and maintain the status quo. He further said the ceasefire seemed to have “seized our right to self determination based on our historical and political rights.”

Therefore, Rev.Keyho told the gathering “though we honour

this day what value is there if our political will for self determination is made to die a natural death.”

Reverend called for revisiting the glory of those days where nationalism reigned supreme without arms, without muscle power in the atmosphere of ceasefire.

Recollecting the events leading to this day, he asserted that Nagas must not blame “our counterpart” for everything that has not been but to admit “our mistake of stubbornness, mistake of pride, mistake of self justification, mistake of holier than thou and above all mistake of lording over all.”

He said this has been the problem and mistake not only of one particular political group but all the political groups that existed today. He called for speaking out in unison to India to listen to “our rights and aspiration” and cited the words of J. P. Narayan that “sovereignty of Nagaland in imminently practicable and negotiable” but that “negotiable” can turn into “possible” if Nagas unite.

Rev. Keyho also asserted that Nagas cannot pretend that things were alright with them when it

was not. “We cannot expect angels to come and fix things right for us but we must act and begin to mend the broken relationship and it must begin with someone, somewhere and somehow,” he said.

He said “we must seek God and live” and stop playing with God and jeopardising the future of “our younger generations and the generations to come.”

FGN representative, I. Temjen Longkumer, narrated the events that lead to the signing of Ceasefire Agreement. He said this Peace Day celebration was a reminder of wartime days lest the younger generation forget to give the life to their roots. Longkumer said it was also to “caution us” about what a war could bring to a country in the absence of peaceful means. The programme was led

by NBCC school coordinator Rev. Dr. Mechiehol Savi, bible reading and prayer by NBCC education and communication secretary, Dr. Botoholi, and special song presented by NBCC staff. Programme was attended by NNC rank and file, public, church leaders, NBCC officials and others.

The decoy personnel took the vehicle for test drive along with one of the gang members while the other four were apprehended by the cut-off team and QRT. Later, police said after investigation the Swift Dzire was found to have been stolen from Guwahati, where a case was already registered and the Santro Zing, found to have actually been allotted to a Hyundai Getz.

No funds for Amur Falcon roosting, claims AFRAU DIMAPUR: Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union (AFRAU) of Pangti village, a union working towards conservation of Amur falcons in Nagaland, has expressed resentment against non inclusion “in funds received by the department of Tourism, Nagaland Kohima, under Swadesh Darshan for Wokha district in the name of Amur falcons.”

Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union president Zanthungo Shitiri and general secretary, Nribemo Merry in a letter addressed to Nagaland chief minister has sought for intervention while highlighting the efforts made by the union in conservation of Amur Falcons in the area.

The union claimed that it found out, through an RTI application, that some funds have been received by the department of Tourism, Nagaland Kohima, under Swadesh Darshan for Wokha district in the name of Amur falcons but all the funds were to be used for development in other villages other than Pangti.

The union rued that none of the Pangti villagers have been included in any of the components in the five projects worth Rs. 4,19,65,070. 90 taken up against Amur Falcon Observation Area through department of Tourism, Nagaland under Swadesh Darshan at Wokha district.

Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union stated it was “injustice of the highest degree” adding that the claim for development in the actual place was not meant just for the local inhabitants or just for their needs, but was mainly to request and fight for their rights in the name of justice and facilitate and give homage to the National/International Tourists.

In this regard, the union appealed to the CM to acknowledge the “immense” contribution of the Pangti villagers in conserving the Amur falcons by relocating the project to the rightful Amur Falcon Roosting place.

It has also asked CM to allot the work to the needy citi-

zens/champion in protection at the earliest before the next arrival of the migratory birds in order to avoid any hostile atmosphere in the days to come.

Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union claimed that its efforts has resulted in zero killing of the bird by 2013 thereby bringing fame and name to a State which was earlier infamous for being hunters and lovers of wild meat.

Therefore, in order to gain more support and cooperation, Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union stated it made a representation to the minister of Forest & Wild Life on October 1, 2014 and also to chief minister

T. R. Zeliang on November 7, 2015, and also to union minister of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Prakash Javadekar on November 15, 2012 for various amenities and developmental improvements around the area, which was also a tourist attraction point.

“Despite our repeated requests, the Government hasn’t provided us with any support thus far and is in fact giving us a step motherly treatment without considering any of our proposals,” the union lamented.

Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union expressed hope that the CM would do the needful by taking the quickest action possible.

The incomplete kitchen and main building of District Hospital Kiphire.

DIMAPUR: Citizen Welfare Society Kiphire (CWS) has raised concern over the condition of District Hospital Kiphire and has urged Nagaland government to take up the matter on priority and to provide adequate health care system to its citizens.

In a press release, CWS Kiphire president, Tsilikyu and secretary, Hotingkyu Sangtam informed that the society visited District Hospital Kiphire on August 29 and interacted with the hospital authority for overall infrastructure and problems faced by the doctors in the hospital.

During the visit, CSW said it was dismayed to learn that one lab technician has

been transferred out from DHK since 2015, with no reliever/appointment made against the post till date.

CWS also lamented that new main hospital building, kitchen, doctors quarter etc. which was started 4 to 5 years back and supposed to be completed by December 2015 has not been not completed and with no sign of progress since 2015.

The society has appealed the concern contractor/agencies responsible for new building to resume the works and complete the incomplete project at the earliest.

It also pointed out the lack of specialist doctors, infrastructure and the shortage

of staff nurse. CWS while appreciating the tireless efforts put forth by the doctors and nurses and staff of DHK, further urged upon them to give their best for the cause of humanity.

CWS also acknowledged the service of Obstetrics and Gynaecologist and further urged them to be more sincere as expected by the people.

Kiphire being economically backward, CWS said the citizens have to go for treatment outside the district which it said was next to impossible and the only hope is the district hospital.

Therefore, CWS has urged the government to take up the matter on priority.

DIMAPUR: Nagaland Contractor and Suppliers Union Wokha Unit has reiterated its full support to Nagaland Contractor and Suppliers Union on awarding contract/supply works without open tender by government departments.

A press note by NCSU Wokha Unit president Solomon and secretary A. Lipon stated that the union has found many irregularities in various departments in awarding contract works by table tender and without inviting open tender.

Reaffirming its earlier resolution, the NCSU Wokha unit has reminded that the concerned department should strictly follow the government order that all contract and supply works were put for open tender and only recognized and valid NCSU members were eligible to get contract works.

NCSU Wokha Unit has reiterated its stand that contract/supply works should not be awarded to any person without producing NCSU ID Cards. NCSU Wokha unit has further stated that it would henceforth check those departments not adhering to government directive and standing order while awarding contracts.

It has further stated that illegal practices should be stopped and proper action would be initiated against the defaulting departments. The unit also warned that any contractor, firm or company without valid identity card of NCSU would be dealt with stern action.

Correspondent

Manipur CAG report reveals misappropriation of fund

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Sep 6: The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has detected misappropriation of huge amount of funds sanctioned for implementation of various central sponsored schemes in Manipur through the state social welfare department.

The audit reports for the state ending March 31, 2015 was released on September 2 last by the (CAG) after the state chief minister presented the same in the house of the Manipur on the first day of monsoon session.

The audit reports revealed a number of discrepancies and wrongdoings committed by the state government.

A total of Rs 44.02 lakh which should be given to 4,641 destitute children as stipend by

NDFB cadre killed in Assam Guwahati, Sep 6 (IANS): In another blow to the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland, Assam Police said a senior cadre of the outfit was a gunned down early on Tuesday after a gunfight in the state's Kokrajhar district. Additional DGPL.R. Bishnoi also said police have also recovered an AK 81 rifle, two grenades, a magazine, several round of live ammunition from the slain militant, identified as Agun Basumatary, a close associate of NDFB faction leader B. Biday.

"Based on specific information, three police teams laid three ambushes in and around Mainaopur area under Kochugaon police station in the district since Monday night. The team led by me came face to face with two militants around 4.20 a.m. When we challenged them, they started firing at us forcing us to retaliate. Later, we could find one injured militant while the other one managed to escape," Bishnoi said adding that although he was taken to the hospital immediately, doctors there declared him brought dead.

social welfare department had been withdrawn but there was no evidence of ever disbursing the same amount.

“There is no evidence of ever disbursing the amount,” the CAG report said while revealing that the department had withdrawn the amount (Rs 44.05 lakh) in three phases in March 2012, March 2013 and June 2013.

The amount was meant for payment of stipends to destitute children under the schemes of Children Home/ Creache-Balwadi, Foster Care Home and for setting up of State Resource Centre under the National Mission for Empowerment of Women.

Out of the 4641 children, who are eligible to get scholarship/stipend amounting to Rs 32.67 lakh, the department could furnish a list of only

1004 children who were entitled to stipend/scholarship of Rs 7.23 lakh.

The department could not furnish copy of APR for actual disbursement of scholarship/stipend and for payment made to third party for the State Resource Centre. As such, the way the amount of Rs 44.02 lakh was expended was doubtful, said the AG report.

The CAG further found misappropriation of another Rs 10.25 crore by the same social welfare department.

The department encashed Rs 10.25 crore for Supplementary Nutrition Programme (SNP) and Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY) with objective to improve the health and nutritional status of pregnant and lactating women and their young infants.

BGB prevents zero line fencing in northern Tripura AGARTALA, Sep 6 (Agencies): Wire fencing along the zero line of the India-Bangladesh border in Kailashahar in North Tripura was suspended for the twelfth time on Sunday following objections from Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB).

NBCC, the construction company entrusted with the task of fencing the zero line, suspended work and accused the BGB jawans of threatening to kill them. "Initially, BGB jawans, who guard the other side of the border, asked us to stop work. When we argued, they attempted to fire at us," alleged Abdul Mannan, a worker.

BSF officials said BGB has been informed about India's dissatisfaction with the conduct of its jawans.

Work to fence the zero line has been held up for over a decade. According to the Indira-Mujib agreement, no permanent structure is allowed between the zero line and 150 yards of the India-Bangladesh border. However, in some cases, construction has been allowed as a goodwill gesture between

BSF and BGB. "Bangladesh on principle had agreed to erect wire fencing within 150 yards from the zero line in 13 locations in India as important institutions like the airport, market and schools fell within this zone. In the first phase, it allowed nine places to be fenced after several stages of discussions," BSF officials said.

According to a communique from the Union home ministry, zero line fencing was to be allowed in Kasba Kalibari, Akhaura checkpost, Agartala Airport, Mohanpur Bazar, Khowai Bazar in West Tripura, Belonia and Sabroom in South Tripura and Kailashahar in North Tripura.

Last year, Bangladesh had agreed to do the same in 25 patches barring two spots, Sidhai (Mohanpur) of Agartala and Amritpara under Nutun Bazar PS in South Tripura.

The issue of zero line fencing and difficult terrain had stalled wire fencing work along 23 km of the border, thus allowing anti-national forces to enter Indian territory.

Seven bills were encashed for IGMSY in March 2012 and SNP in January and March 2012.

Scrutiny of the records of the directorate showed that Rs 10.25 crore was deposited during January 2012 and March 2012. Out of the amount deposited, the DDO concerned made total payments of Rs 9.75 crore for IGMSY and SNP during April 2012 to February 2014 through 93 cheques.

However, bank balance available against the particular account at that time was only Rs 6239. This left an unaccounted amount of Rs 50.51 lakh and there were no records to show that the amount has been spent which only implied that the same amount was misappropriated, the CAG report remarked.

Meghalaya to ratify GST in Assembly Shillong, Sep 6: The Meghalaya Cabinet on Tuesday has decided to adopt a resolution in the upcoming assembly session on Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act, 2014.

The five-day assembly session is scheduled to be held from September 9.

“The amendment was a culmination of the whole exercise between the union government and state governments including various commercial organizations,” Chief Minister Mukul Sangma told journalists after the cabinet meeting.

When asked about the impact of GST Act once it is introduced in Meghalaya, Sangma said, “ The state do not foresee any drop in revenue realization and in such event the state will be compensated. This was taken up at the level of consultation and an acceptable format will come up.” (Correspondent)

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Wednesday, September 7, 2016

High prevalence of cancer in NE due to tobacco consumption Agartala, Sep 6 (PTI): Prevalence of cancer in the north-eastern part of the country, neighbouring Myanmar and Bangladesh, is much higher than any part of India due to high consumption of tobacco, experts said here today.

“The north-east is most vulnerable to cancer in India followed by Bangladesh and Myanmar. They are mostly prone to cancers in oral, breast, cervical, esophageal and gall bladder,” Dr G K Rath, an oncologist from AIIMS told reporters here.

He said the chances of cancer could be reduced in the region by giving up tobacco and changing the food habit and lifestyles. He also advised consumption of natural food over junk food.

“The number of cancer patients in the region is at least five times more than in Maharashtra. In northeast, people mainly suffer from cancer due to tobacco,” Rath added.

A three-day conference of the International Cancer Screening Network (ICSN) began here last evening where representatives of 11 countries were participating to discuss about the procedure of screen-

ing of cancer in different communities.

The ICSN has developed modules for three types of cancer— oral, cervical and breast and the delegates would examine these modules in a global context, he said.

The International Cancer Screening Network (ICSN) was established in 1988 with representatives from different countries with the aim of evaluating cancer screening and improving outcomes of the study globally.

Dr Ravi Mehrotra, Director of Institute of Cytology and Preventive Oncology said nearly 80 percent of people are diagnosed late as they are not aware of screening the disease on time.

Cancer screening at the right time could reduce 80 per cent chances of cervical cancer, 50 per cent chances of gastrointestinal cancer and 25 per cent chances of breast cancer by use of modern technologies applied in developed countries.

But nearly 80 percent people in India come late for diagnosis,” Mehrotra said.

Apart from that, he said, in India, around 10-20 per cent people suffer from cancer due to their western food diet.

Sub: - Clarifications in respect of nomenclature ‘KHEZHA AREA’.

K-3361

The undersigned on behalf of the Khezha Area Public Organization (KAPO) would like to bring out certain clarifications with regard to the recent ‘Khezha Area’ nomenclature issue.

1. The expression ‘Khezha’ was inserted in the nomenclature Chakhesang (Cha-khe-sang) which came into being on 10th January 1945. Wherein, the middle prefix ‘Khe’ stands for ‘Khezha’.

2. The origin of the word Khezha traces back to Koza the foremost ancestral forefather who established and settled at Khezhakeno village or Kozabomi village, which is regarded as the ancestral home to most of the Naga tribes. The descendants of Koza who speaks Kozale or Khezha dialects are known as Kozami or Khezha and the off-spring- generations are known as Kozalhü.

Whereby, the origin and the inception of the nomenclature usage ‘Khezha Area’ is a borrowed term from the usage ‘Khezha’ representing particularly the area covering from Khezhakeno village to Pfutseromi village.

3. Accordingly, the usage ‘Khezha Area’ was given due recognition by the CPO under the relevant Article section 7, (ii), (e) of its Constitution. The Khezha Area covers the Seven (7) villages namely Khezhakeno, Leshemi, Lasumi, Zapami, Kami, Lekromi and Pfutseromi. Subsequently, the Khezha Area Public Organization came into being as the apex body representing the area people and which is still in operation.

4. Hence, the claim that “Kuzha Area Public Organization from inception till date has never changed its nomenclature,” is simply untrue and considered an attempt to distort the genuine history. (Press Statement by Kuzha Area Public Organization as appeared on local media, Nagaland Post, etc on August 27, 2016).

5. As per the evidential record, the organization Khezha Area Students (1945-1948) was in existence with Lt. Wezulhi Krome as its Chairman. (as per Lt. Wezülhi Krome’s condolence Message on 15th Oct 2013 “Profile of Mr. Wezülhi C. Krome (Ex-MLA)”.

This proves that the origin or inception of the nomenclature “Khezha Area” dates back to the year 1945 and whereas the term Kuzha is only an afterthought consequence based on the resolution of 1979 Zapami convention meeting of Khezha Literature Committee as understood by the so called Kuzha Area Public Organization.

6. In the wordings of Dr. Kedutso Kapfo based on his book ‘The Ethnology of the Khezhas & the Khezha Grammar’, the Khezha Literature Committee’s Convention meetings were inconclusive. It is evident that at no point of time the word ‘unanimous’ in totality was reached, which in other word means to say ‘fully in agreement’ or ‘a decision by everyone involved’ can be inferred upon.

The text content: “….and resolved to be used the names “Kuzhami” for English equivalent of ‘people of Khezha’ and “Kuzhale” ‘language of Khezha’ for all the purposes. However, some of the villagers did not fully satisfy with the resolution and wanted a review.” “....the Literature Committee again convened the second convention at Pfütsero Town Committee Hall from 8th–10th November 2001, which reiterated the earlier resolution and unanimously approved by all the respective village representatives except one village”. Dr. Kedutso Kapfo.

7. Where also, in its most serious term, the expression ‘unanimous’ and not ‘majority’ should form the basis of a brotherhood relationship. And that the historical facts should not be twisted by the voice of majority. As also, in any case, signing an attendance register in a given meeting cannot necessarily construe as endorsing the content ‘Resolution’ of that particular meeting(s) without its approval. Therefore, to drag Khezhakeno membership attendance as an act of approval in this regard is considered unfortunate and invalid.

8. In this context, the people of Khezhakeno village or also known as Kozabomi village, since time immemorial till date, remains firm in trying to guard and uphold the priceless truth of our ancestral historical facts, which is a God’s given history. Wherein, it also seriously views some fellow members, wherefore time and again, with restless attempts to distort the genuine ancestral history had been trying to introduce varied confusing coined names or nomenclatures such as Khezhalha, Khuzha Thede, Kuzha, etc for reasons best known to them.

9. In addition, what is more worrisome is that, under the guise of the present imbroglio, certain habitual divisive minded are attempting a ploy to polarize and further divide the sanctity and unity of the churches and its Council. This is also posing serious threat to the foundation of the unity and integrity of our community.

10. As such, with a keen sense to safeguard the unity and also to preserve the rightful legacy and the historical facts, Khezhakeno people had to disagree to various nomenclatures and usages which are not conforming to the original history whether in content, meaning or usage.

11. Therefore, unless by a unanimous decision, the present approved ‘Khezha Area’ by the CPO and the apex Khezha Area Public Organization should remain intact in its functioning.

Nevertheless, with due regard, the Khezha Literature Committee or the Kuzhalhü Zawe which is a People’s Movement Organization covering villages from Khezhakeno to Jessami in Manipur state is hence appealed upon, to understand these realities in upholding the genuine historical facts and to also mediate upon the parties with revered understandings. Further, we appeal the apex CPO to kindly take considerations to resolve this particular ‘area issue’ to its rightful conclusion.

India’s borders need larger attention: Vohra

Govt set to integrate skill development with edu: Rudy Kolkata, Sep 6 (PTI): To improve employability of youths, the government is embarking on a process to integrate skill development with education for which financial assistance would be given to the states, Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Rajiv Pratap Rudy said Tuesday.

“In the last 65 years or so, the entire skill eco-system of the country has been killed.

It is a major challenge for us to build such an eco-system and the Center is ready to work with the states for this purpose”, Rudy said at an event here.

Funds would be given to the states for developing skill sets among the youth for which the ministry has set up a corpus of Rs 32,000 crore provided jointly by World Bank, Prime Minister Kaushal Vikas Yojana and Apprentice Yojana.

Appreciating the Mamata Banerjee government in Bengal for its move to set up more ITIs in the state, Rudy said the Directorate General of Training (DGT) would provide affiliations to these newly set up centres.

“We will be supporting the West Bengal government.

We appreciate the passionate efforts of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in her bid towards skilling the people of the state”, he told reporters on the sidelines of the CII event.

“The DGT will give affiliation to the new ITIs set up in the state,” he said.

Stating the ITIs would be moved from the labour ministry to his ministry, Rudy said it was the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who realised the need for a separate approach for developing skills.

“For long, skill development was being looked after by the education ministry and then the HRD ministry. It was Prime Minister Modi who realised the need for a separate ministry for skill,” he said.

Patna, Sep 6 (PTI): Toll in Bihar floods rose to 205 with a fresh death reported Tuesday even as the situation appeared to be easing with the water level of swollen Ganga flowing below the danger mark. The lone death has been reported from Samastipur district, a Disaster Management Department statement said. According to the Water Resources Department, for the first time in a fortnight the water level of Ganga is flowing below danger mark today in all the seven places where it is monitored in Bihar. The water level of the river receded in Kahalgaon for the first time today though at Digha ghat, Gandhi ghat and Hathidah in Patna district and Buxar, Munger and Bhagalpur it had receded a couple of days ago.

nataka. Krishna Raja Sagara Dam and Brindavan Gardens were closed to the public for four days.

Hundreds of buses were taken off the roads in protest in the Bengaluru-Mysore section and between Chennai and Bengaluru. In Tanjavur, Karnataka state buses were vandalised, while many state transport buses remained out of service at Chennai’s CMBT bus terminus.

Protesters from Karantaka also burned effigies of Jayalalithaa and stopped all buses coming from Tamil Nadu. “We do not want to give even a drop of water to Tamil Nadu.

The Karnataka government is to blame as it could not put the case of Karantaka farmers properly in the court,” a protesting farmer said.

Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah called an allparty meeting to discuss the Cauvery river water issue and the apex court’s order on the matter. TB Jaychandra, Karnataka law minister, appealed to the public not to take law and order in their hands and to maintain peace.

“We know that the Supreme Court is the highest court in the country. We have to oblige to their orders. My appeal to public is not to resort to agitation and keep calm.

They should cooperate with the state government,” Jaychandra told ANI.

In order to tackle the global concern, Zeliang appealed to world leaders “to think together, to share the solutions and to further help each other in reducing the risks through adaptation as well as mitigation strategies in the better interests of our survival.”

On conservation, Zeliang boasted of how communities which once hunted migratory Amur Falcons in hundreds of thousands, were now protectors and have made Nagaland a safe haven for the birds earning the distinction of being

levels on issues of governance and environment.

“This can be done through appropriate institutions with professionally designed trainings programs that will add value to their work and thereby, enhance governance at their respective levels,” he added.

With the declaration of ‘Act East Policy’, Zeliang said he was confident that the Government of India, under the dynamic leadership of Narendra Modi would agree to such proposals that would benefit India and the East as partners for economic growth and well-being.

School children run risk of backaches and hunchbacks

KOLKATA, SEP 6 (PTI): Thanks to the load of books in their bags as much as 68 per cent of school children in the age group of 7-13 years face the risk of backaches and even hunchbacks.

A recent survey conducted by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) under its Healthcare Committee has found that 68 per cent of school children under the age of 13 years across India may suffer from mild back pain, which can develop into chronic pain and later into hunchback.

The survey noted that over 88 per cent of children in the age group of 7-13 years carry more than 45 per cent of their weight on their backs including art kit, skates, taekwondo equipment, a swim bag, cricket kit every alternate day leading to serious spinal damage and irreversible back problems. “Early slip disc, spondylitis,

spondylolisthesis, persistent back aches, early degeneration of spine and postural scoliosis are some of the problems that these children face,” chairman of Assocham’s health committee B K Rao said. As per the Children’s School Bag Act 2006, a schoolbag should not weigh more than 10 per cent of a child’s weight.

The law also stipulates that nursery and kindergarten students should carry no schoolbag and the school authorities should issue guidelines on bags. It also suggests that the state government provide appropriate lockers in schools. “Excessive and uneven loads are linked to an increased risk of back-trouble and deformation of the spine. Stress from such excess weights may affect the growth of the musculoskeletal system especially if children carry the bag on one shoulder.

India will soon be zero petroleum import country: Gadkari NEW DELHI, SEP 6 (PTI): With the Centre focusing more on developing alternative fuel economy, India will soon stop importing petroleum products, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said today.

“We are going to develop this country where our import of petroleum will be zero.

We are promoting alternative fuel like ethanol, methanol, bio-CNG... this will boost the rural and agriculture centre and create huge employment,” Road Transport and Highways Minister said. Despite low prices globally, India at present is incurring a massive Rs. 4.5 lakh crore on crude imports which was earlier Rs. 7.5 lakh crore, Mr Gadkari said address-

ing a conference on methanol economy organised by Niti Aayog today.

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. At present, it is “golden opportunity” to cash on its agriculture, bamboo, surplus coal and power.

“The time has come to diversify agriculture,” the minister asserted stating that it has the potential to change the entire rural economy at a time when more than 10,000 farmers in Vidarbha region had committed suicide.

“The socio-economic situation is not good, agriculture is facing acute problems. This alternative fuel economy is going to change socio-economic

Nitin Gadkari picture of agriculture and rural economy. This is time for the country to plan the way by which we can save the life of people in rural and agriculture sectors.. We can make

ethanol from biomass that is cotton straw, wheat straw, rice straw and bagasse. Even from municipal waste we can make ethanol,” the minister said.

Stressing on “waste to wealth”, he said manufacturing ethanol and bio-gas from waste could result in savings to the tune of Rs. 5 lakh crore annually. The minister said ethanol is generated from biomass in Europe. One tonne of rice straw can get 400 litres of ethanol.In North East, bamboo could be used for making ethanol, he said. He added it will eliminate pollution too as farmers in states like Haryana burnt wheat straw which caused pollution.

Besides municipal waste and waste of vegetables and fruits

could be used in manufacturing bio-fuel. He stressed the need for use of science, technology, entrepreneurship and research and also said Niti Aayog is taking initiatives in this regard.

“We have finalised standard norms for bio-diesel, bioCNG and ethanol and electricity,” Mr Gadkari said adding the bureaucracy also needed to fast track decisions.

Taking a jibe at bureaucracy, the minister said somewhere there is a need to expedite the entire decision-making process. “If there is a will, there is a way if there is no will there is no way. There will only be committees, discussions and research groups,” Mr Gadkari added.

Dear Madam,

Bihar flood toll rises to 205

Chennai, Sep 6 (Agencies): The Cauvery water war escalated on Tuesday as protests erupted after the Supreme Court ordered Karnataka to release 15,000 cusec a day for the next 10 days to Tamil Nadu.

According to the Hindustan Times, in Tamil Nadu, farmers from the Delta region expressed unhappiness, claiming 15,000 cusec was inadequate for their farming needs and described it as “too little too late”.

In Karnataka’s Mandya region, farmers took to the streets against the apex court order and blocked roads in protest, threatening to launch a bigger agitation and block feeder canals to stop the supply of water to Tamil Nadu.

“When we are being given only drinking water and not a drop for irrigation, why should farmers in Tamil Nadu be given water to grow their crops. This is patently unjust and the Karnataka government must file a review petition in the Supreme Court against the decision,” said Mandya MLA MH Ambareesh.

A bandh was called by a pro-Kannada outfit on Monday, and thousands of police officers were deployed to monitor the situation.

Tamil Nadu state transport buses were halted at the Hosur Border Bus Stand due to protests in parts of Kar-

called in conservation circles as “Amur Falcon Capital of the World”!

Zeliang expressed his envy of the Malaysian people for successfully preserving the famed Hornbill birds, which is also Malaysia’s National Bird, and which Nagas associate with valour and honour.

As discussions on environment, sustainable development and governance continue Zeliang said the need of the hour was “cooperation and sharing for our mutual existence”. He also stressed on the need is to re-skill the public servants and policy makers at all

surgencies and militancies supported from across the borders, it was not possible to deal with sectoral violence only through internal and external security.

Vohra said maintenance of public order in the hinterland was an extremely important component of border guarding.

“If you have insurgency, militancy and a proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir, or terrorism which can strike at any time from anywhere..that infringes our border guarding,” he said.

The Governor said since 2012, there have been four ‘successful’ fidayeen attacks sponsored by Pakistan against the Army and police at places

like Kathua and Sambha in the Valley. “We have deficiencies along the borders...the nature of communication we have, the nature of facilities, equipment and gadgetries,” he said while drawing references to the suicide attacks at Dina nagar police station and IAF base in Pathankot.

“Therefore, we need to take into account smart border management. It is important to take care of the people living along the borders and behind the borders. Their welfare, needs and problems need to be attended to. A dissatisfied border community does not contribute to the border force or border management,” he said.

Vohra maintained that looking after the people living in forward areas goes a long way.

“Such people provide very strong support to the Army and the border security forces in terms of supplying information, logistical support etc,” he said.

People think that securing borders is the responsibility of the Union government but the responsibility rests with everyone living in the forward areas, the Governor added.

Cauvery water war: SC order CM promotes Nagaland at Pangkor Dialogue sparks protests in TN, K’taka

DP-6694 (A)

New Delhi, Sep 6 (PTI): India’s borders need much larger investment and attention, Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra said Tuesday as he batted for “smart border management” for people living along these areas.

Speaking at a conference on ‘Homeland Security, Smart Border Management’ organised by FICCI here, he said such management was required for a state like Jammu and Kashmir which faces proxy war and infiltration attempts round the year.

“In the state where I am working, infiltration attempts are made throughout the year..across the high and snow-clad mountains, across the planes, riverbeds and nallahs,” he said.

Stating that India’s borders needed more attention and investment, Vohra maintained border management was no longer a general problem.

“One needs special forces to tackle highly-trained terrorists,” he said.

He said owing to the nature of threats Jammu and Kashmir has faced in the last three decades particularly infiltrations, proxy wars, in-

S

The idiot box

ome sections of the Indian media convince themselves that pursuing a hawkish stance instead of a patient yet firm diplomacy in dealing with India’s two important neighbours-Pakistan and China- is very patriotic.

Unfortunately, justifying vitriolic attacks against the neighbours and accusing those who disagree with the considered view of the anchorperson(s) of treason, only exposes the nadir that has been reached by such people who are self-proclaimed patriots. With the Indian media creating hype and hysteria to fever pitch, over incidents in the disputed border there seem to be a sense of impotent rage on how to deal with the red dragon. The shrill rhetoric against Pakistan is only strengthening the hands of hardliners in that country and hysterics back home. No good can ever come out of such offensive strategies as it also shuts the doors for exploring avenues for dialogue. Some sections of the media have taken it upon themselves as the ‘self-appointed’ advisors to the Modi government on dealing with China and Pakistan. So far, there has been no contradiction from the government of the day and which has only added to dismay. No country can benefit through war and especially in the nuclear weapons age. Even if it seems hopeless, the small opening for dialogue should always be kept open. Bullying Pakistan may seem like an achievement but it is a pyrrhic victory since people of both countries have a better opportunity to resolve some issues because they share the same historical roots. Dealing with China is however, a totally different ball game.

India cannot and should not expect the US to stand by India in time of serious crisis with China.

This is a new global environment unlike in the 60s when the US could bully the Chinese. The China we see today is not the China of the 1962 and the sooner Indian media realise it, television talks shows would be more meaningful and enlightening. If the diplomatic channel is closed in a worse case scenario, then India will have to depend on other nations for a back channel dialogue.

India has not been able to match the Chinese in matters of construction of super highways and air and helicopter divisions all across its border.

Even till today, many India army posts are fed by air drops or donkeys. The correct response from India is to quietly build up its capabilities without saying much and this is the kind of message that the Chinese understand. Struggling to deal with a rigid China on the intractable border issue, India would do well to digest the fact that it has to pursue diplomacy with firmness and at the same time build its capabilities. China can be expected to be hard on issues involving its territorial integrity, which it amply displayed with regard to the South China Sea and East China Sea where the PLA navy is playing an increasingly assertive role.

With a military force of over 45 lakhs as compared to India’s nearly 14 lakh personnel and GDP that is ten trillion to India four trillions, China is indeed a global giant. The best non-violent defence is to improve ties with Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Bangladesh. It will do well to remember that history has shown that the cost of weak politics and diplomacy has been paid by the soldiers.

DailyDevotion The Far-Reaching Rivers of Life He who believes in Me…out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. —John 7:38 A river reaches places which its source never knows.

And Jesus said that, if we have received His fullness, “rivers of living water” will flow out of us, reaching in blessing even “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8) regardless of how small the visible effects of our lives may appear to be. We have nothing to do with the outflow— “This is the work of God, that you believe…” (John 6:29). God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.

A river is victoriously persistent, overcoming all barriers. For a while it goes steadily on its course, but then comes to an obstacle. And for a while it is blocked, yet it soon makes a pathway around the obstacle. Or a river will drop out of sight for miles, only later to emerge again even broader and greater than ever. Do you see God using the lives of others, but an obstacle has come into your life and you do not seem to be of any use to God? Then keep paying attention to the Source, and God will either take you around the obstacle or remove it. The river of the Spirit of God overcomes all obstacles. Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source. Never allow anything to come between you and Jesus Christ— not emotion nor experience— nothing must keep you from the one great sovereign Source.

Think of the healing and far-reaching rivers developing and nourishing themselves in our souls! God has been opening up wonderful truths to our minds, and every point He has opened up is another indication of the wider power of the river that He will flow through us. If you believe in Jesus, you will find that God has developed and nourished in you mighty, rushing rivers of blessing for others.

Post-mortem

33 % Reservation, what it means to the Nagas O T he 33 % reservation for women in the state which was approved recently by the state cabinet will enable the womenfolk to take an active part in the decision making local bodies, namely, Municipalities and town councils. The Naga women has been fighting for their right against the gender discrimination for a long time, that has finally resulted in government decision, though it has created some controversial reactions for and against it.

Gender is a concept which defines the relationship between male and female. With this development enabling women to directly involve in the decision making bodies; which was traditionally an exclusive domain of the male members, will bring about changes in the definition of the status as well as in the relationship between the sexes in the days to come. For this reason, a section of the people consider the reservation move as an encroachment into that exclusive jurisdiction upsetting the aged old established roles and defined responsibilities between male and female.

Traditionally, the ideal roles of a woman in the earlier days in most societies all over the world were mainly assigned to domestic activities. A renowned writer had remarked that while husband is a provider, a woman would be, “A lady in the drawing room, a magician in the kitchen, An angel in the nursery, and a pleasure in bed.”

To an extent in the bygone days, when the society survival depended mainly on superior physical strength, that could have been an appropriate expected role of a women but will that be the relevant criteria determining the women’s place in society today?

Role has now changed where women are now encouraged from the school days that they can strive for academic champion and achievers, excellent in every field that was once the exclusive domain of men. They have amply proven themselves with their actual performances in every field these days doing better than the man folk. Today they are in many cases equally the earning member and provider in the family.

Frankly, the Naga tribal tradi-

tions have not been fair to the womenfolk in many ways. Their role were relegated to Domestic services, e.g. child bearing and rearing, household chores, Labor for the family but denied the right to exclusive property ownership and inheritance. Many women knowingly or as a matter of old tradition, meekly accept the traditional subordinate position to their male counterpart and just live accepting the gender discriminatory status. If their main occupation is limited to household duties then a lot of capable talents equipped with sound education will be wasted. Since so much of investment is made in giving them good education, it will amount to criminal waste of competent resources in human capital, and a social injustice to the better half of the population and a lost to the society. Given a chance and space, Women are equally competent and intellectually capable to shoulder any responsibilities. Malefolk must, instead of opposing, be ready to share equal responsibility by sharing rights and duties in all sphere of activities, be it social, political or economic matters.

Man’s resistant to change is normally expected when the set pattern of life is disturbed by changes requiring readjustment. Tension will be generated till it is settled in the new pattern of life.

The traditionalists,-who oppose the reservation, are apprehensive about the implication of the decision. They feel that it will erode the traditional values and will upset the harmonious relationship in the society if the traditionally defined role of male and female which were of standard practices over the years, are dislocated. Further, the reservation will undermine the especial Constitutional Guarantee accorded to the Nagas under Art 371A protecting the application of their unique social practices and the Naga customary laws and procedures etc.

While the protagonists- of the reservation feel that it’s a timely decision. It’s about time the Naga women are empowered to actively participate in the important decision making bodies which will only enrich the qualities of governance. It will not, in any way dilute nor infringes the privileges

guaranteed under the constitution to the Nagas.

This is an opportune moment for the Naga society to look at the tradition practices handed down from the past and to redefine those outdated ones making it more relevant to suit the modern challenges and prepare for the future. We need not look in isolation at this political concession given through this reservation but also in many other spheres of activities. An active involvement of capable women in political decision making arena will slowly and surely undergo changes in the relationship between the sexes thereby the traditional family values and behavioral pattern and sharing of responsibilities will undergo a new adjustment when women mindset come out of the confined cocoon of the household activities and take equal share of duties and socio- political responsibilities. We should be prepared for it, because sooner or later, it is bound to happen.

In today’s knowledge society where the knowledge is expanding exponentially, having the technological and intellectual knowledge is the core driving force to bring about the positive changes. And in a democratic welfare state only the best knowledgeable and truly committed to the welfare interest of the people must be selected irrespective of sexes to occupy such vital policy making bodies. In this context, the women folk have amply proved themselves equal if not superior intellectually with male counterpart and are waiting for an opportunity to show to the world that they can also do given a space and a chance. They are equally capable, educationally, intellectually and mentally qualified and are ready to prove their mettle for the benefit of all.

It is seen that traditionally, women were not treated at par with men especially in matters of owning property and wealth, inheritance and were disallowed to participate in political or important community policy decision making functions. In that deprived position so long from the past, they are put in clear disadvantaged position in the society. That being so, we cannot expect them at this stage, to compete confidently at par with men in politically competitive electioneering arena;

Follow in her path

unless they are given some space by such concession like the reservation of a specific number or percentage.

In some states in the country, like in Kerala, Madhya Pradesh etc, reservation for women is 50%. It’s about time that we all need to be modern and forward looking and be ready to accommodate such positive changes.

Their involvement as an equal partner with the men recognizing their qualities will be an asset to us all.

It is not only the preservation of the tradition for the sake of preservation, but must mentally accept the urgent need to change or redefine the outmoded, irrelevant components of the tradition which have become obsolete. Otherwise, it would become obstacles in the path of progress and development in this digital, fast changing world. It is true that tradition is dynamic not static thus, it grows and subtly adjust as being part of the finer defining image of the society. The society need to adhere to the time- bound necessary adjustment and refinement to remain relevant regulating social guidelines of the growing society at every stage of time.

I honestly feel that the male chauvinistic tendencies that are seen in the Naga traditional setting need to be re-examined dispassionately to enable us to readjust and redefine the redundant and anomalous aspects which will impedes overall healthy growth of our society. It is certainly a redefining moment for the Nagas to look at the tradition and custom and bring about the necessary changes to suit the modern challenges and for better future growth. The cabinet decision in question will ensure all citizen’s active participation especially the women in developmental administration in local urban bodies which is a welcome paradigm shift from the past. Such involvement can expectantly bring about the needed changes and revitalize the stagnation, inefficiencies and complacencies in the present governance state of affairs by injecting the fresh set of players. Every well meaning citizen irrespective of sexes must agree to give a fair chance to the womenfolk and excitingly look forward to see the outcome of the new development in our society.

N 8TH September the Catholic Church celebrates feast of Nativity of our Lady - the birthday of Mother Mary, the blessed Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is also known as the Role model of Mercy and the same time we also honor Mother Theresa of Kolkata, also known as the saint of the gutters who is canonized as the saint by Pope Francis on 4th September 2016.

It is also a time for each one to introspect on the values of St. Mother Theresa, who founded the Missionary of Charity and worked to support the poor and the downtrodden. This is also an invitation for us to imitate the values by reaching out to the poor and the needy of the broken world and shattered society, particularly those isolated and neglected by the society. Let’s open our hearts and reach out to the people who need our help and care.

There is a need to help the unemployed people who go into depression and frustration cause by unemployment and take up negative ways like alcoholism, drug addiction, and other wrong ways. This is an invitation for us to imitate St. Mother Theresa of Kolkata, who is known as the “saint of the Gutters”, who is known for ministering the sick and dying in the some world’s poorest areas.

We have to imitate St. Mother Theresa of Kolkata who are not just physically sock, but those who are affected by different sort of addictions like drug addiction, alcoholism, back-biting, gossiping etc. Hence let’s pray to St. Mother Theresa that she will lead us in the right path to follow Christ’s divine path to heaven and follow her path in the words she quoted; If God answers your prayers, he is increasing your faith. If He delays, he is increasing your patience. If He does not answer your prayers.

He is preparing the best for you.

Rejoinder to ‘illegal Bangladeshi migrants in Chungtiayimsen village’

T

his rejoinder is in reference to the recent publications in a number of local English dailies relating to allegations of presence of illegal Bangladeshi migrants in Chungtiayimsen village jurisdiction. We appreciate the name survival Nagaland (SN), however, in the context of the peculiar and extraordinary situation in the establishment and existence of our village as the pioneer village in Tzürangkong area, we have our own survival policy gained through frequent eviction drive and raid

by Armed Assam Police claiming adverse right of title on the land. Unlike urban areas where most of the educated and qualified Nagas are paid salaries and wages down to Rs. 3000/- per month mostly in educational institutions and business establishments as against daily wages for manual workers mostly unknown migrants who are being paid Rs. 450/- and upwards per day, we have our own survival policy of social and economic

activities.

Our policy is deadly against economic exploitation; rather exploration, proper harness and use of available resources are our motto. As per our experience, capital investment in any occupation by borrowing money is in most cases turned out to be indirect form of exploitation of the poor by the rich. In labour market, demand of Rs. 450/- and upwards plus lunch expenses and various refreshments per day by the local manual labourers is certainly beyond afford and highly detrimental to the rural economy of local indigenous marginal farmers and entrepreneurs. As an advantage for bordering with Assam, availability of any number of daily rated manual labourers at Rs. 200/- plus only lunch expenses per day has given rise to steady progress in the economic life of our village.

Unlike other suspected illegal migrants swarmed elsewhere in the State, these labourers

come for work in the morning and returned back in the evenings to their home in neighbouring Assam after 6 to 7 hours of work. Here, we have no concern as to whether they are having ILP to come our village and whether such manual labourers working during the day time and returning back home shall require ILP. It is highly pertinent to let know by all concerned that Chungtiayimsen village has been brought into continuing existence only after writ was issued by the Gauhati High Court protecting the right of residence under Article 19 of the Constitution of India.

However, despite existence of the village has since January, 1961, and State Assembly Election Started since 12964, no election has been held in Tzürangkong area till date despite of the fact that there are several numbers of villages in the area. It appears that the adverse claim of right of title on land by Assam appears to be

the reason why the Nagaland Government is indifferent to our grievances leaving us defended by ourselves. The continuing existence of Assam Armed police Post near the village and disallowing the functioning of an oil depot which was also established nearby are the reason why we are being left to survive by ourselves. Thus, unlike other parts of Nagaland, we have our own survival policy and right from the initial establishment of the village, we have our own act of confrontation with intrusion by Assam Police Armed Forces and other attempted settlement of migrant.

On the question or alleged harassment to Mr. Talisunep Longkumar, it is made known to all concerned, that as far as the antecedents of the said person known to our village is concerned, at one point of time the said person and his family lived in Aokum village and during that time his house was raided by women folks on

People for ethical treatment of animals (PeTA)

I

have been a Member of the ‘PeTA, India’, an Organization of People for Ethical Treatment of Animal, for how long I do not exactly remember now. They send me their Bi-Monthly Magazine about their activities for the prevention of cruelty in India and they also unfailing send a litany of requests for donations for the prevention of cruelty to Animals in the country. Sometimes they encourage Members to adopt Vegetarian food habit.

I once received a communication from them advising me of the goodness to become a Vegetarian.

I sent them back an uncivilized reply that I am a strong omnivorous animal, eats anything that is not poisonous and share the PeTAinterests but have no interest of changing my Food habits.

I have also not developed Nagaland’s modern elite habit of drinking plain water routinely served in every Funerals or Public Gathering as if every thirsty person about the Town is gathered there, nor am I a Yogist who takes Cow Urine to for good Health without a paid Doctor.

While appearing the UPSC in 1967, at about the end of the Interview, one Member of the Commission suddenly said: “I am told you Nagas eat dogs without cleaning the entrails”!

I sensed he was trying to tease me, and so I replied: “Sir, we eat any thing that is not poisonous”.

Immediately, there was an uproarious laughter filing the whole

Room spontaneously and they offered me also the Tea brought for them. I accepted it with thanks.

And afterwards I found I was, perhaps mistakenly given, marks much too much more than I expected.

All these is because of the Angamis eating Dog Meat and many other Naga Tribes have now become the Angamis Disciples.

Very pleasantly, even the Pension I get more than my basic requirements today, without doing any Work even though I retired voluntarily from a highest paid Post for the last 16 years, is I pressume, because of the Naga eating Dog Meat!

And if the UPSC Member teases me further, I would have said: “Sir, Beef is also our favorite Foods”.

It is beyond comprehension that BJP’s Cow Vigilantes, wearing perhaps Animal Skin Shoes, even of Cow, would mindlessly and viciously beat up the Untouchable Castes in the society for moving dead Cows from the Property, It is unimaginable how Leather Goods are so very highly valued in Shoes, Sofa Seat Covers, fantastically costly Seat Covers of posh German Cars but ferociously thrash poor hapless unresisting Schedule Castes for doing the unenviable job processing Cow Skins for Leather!

The whole hypocrisy in the Nation originates from the centre of Gravity of the Government and of the Society, which pay lip Ser-

vice for the up-liftmen of the down trodden have-nots and shamelessly protect unconscionable violence of the Cow Vigilantes on the hapless downtrodden Schedule Caste in the Streets.

The Government behaves like the ISIS Caliphates for whom their Religious Laws of murder of other Sects is taken as Devine requirements. In the case of the BJP Vigilantes, the whole trouble originates from the gravitational Centre of the abominable Hindu Caste System.

The NBCC should have strongly Objected to Uncontrolled, –production, -Transport, -Sale and -Marketing of defined Alcoholic Drinks, but should have never resorted to Dharnas, Strikes, Bandhs or Hunger Strike to force a weak Government make Rules prohibiting a specific Food Habits of the People. It is uncharacteristic of the Gospel of Christ to resort to Strikes, Dharnas or Mass Hunger Strikes to caw down a weak Government on a mammon’s matter.

Food is a Fundamental Right to Man: The Government even physically force-feeds a person with life-sustaining food or Liquid if a Person resorts to Hunger Strike to Death. The Government should not make Law preventing a specific Food Habit of the People.

The UN would do well to declare FOOD, -any kind of Foodsa Fundamental Human Right like Religion and other Human Rights subjects.

several occasions during which he was caught for selling liquor.

Thereupon, his family came to our village and the children were admitted in our village school. However, under the pretext of licensed by SN, he started terrorizing the labourers working in our village school. However, under the pretext of licensed by SN, he started terrorizing the labourers working in our village area and spreading the propaganda in electronic media alleging presence of illegal Bangladeshi migrants in our village area.

Hence, on his own admission of guilt, our village imposed him a fine Rs. 500/It is also clarified that save and except in the case of hot chase and pursuit of escaping suspected criminals, in order to carry out any lawful or to exercise any lawful authority, the village authority within the jurisdiction of which such action is to carried out are informed of the matters before such action is taken. So also,

such actions are taken in the presence of the village authorities or the GBs. However, in the case at hand, the said Mr. Talisunep Longkumer himself acted with the authority of aw and terrorized the peaceful labourers. Even assuming that the said Mr. Talisunep Longkumer may have authority to act, even then, there is on rationale as to why only the labourers in the village were targeted by leaving aside the other non local people living in the same area where the Assam Armed Police Post is located. Thus, the oblique motive of the said questionable character and act of Mr. Talisunep Longkumer who is also given protection as member or SN is explicit from his own acts and antecedents.

Hence, it is made clear that any person/party interested to know the matters in more clarity may come and approach our Village Council with prior information.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Appeal to CE, department of Power, Nagaland

We write this letter to you beseeching your immediate appraisal & action on the neglected power shut down at Emlo-To Area, Asukhuto Town & Kheloshe Polytechnic Atoizu (KPA).

When the other part of the world are striving & moving ahead with every passage of time, the denizens of Emlo-To viz. Suko, LItsa, Emlo, Yesheluto, Asukhuto & KPA has been under complete realm of darkness since May 2016 and the hardship being faced by the public is inexpressible and unimaginable as our very basic need has been deprived for long.

We’re almost back to the age where phones, tvs and other electronic products seemed impossible, Inconvenience in communications & use of basic technological products has become unfeasible, the expense on candles & kerosene has become enormous. Besides, the students of KPA are studying without light, let alone providing them full electric power daily for practical & technical classes.

The miseries, anguishes, disappointments have become uncountable, nevertheless the Students’ Union, Councils & general mass has co-operated with the power department by not showing our resentments & frustrations, understanding the due process involved in departmental works and had emphatically listened to the reasons provided for the failure. However this courtesy should not be taken for granted as the limit has already been crossed and we no more want any reason than power in our area.

The obsolete 750 kv transformer which was taken for repairing never arrived for some absurd reasons and the news of bringing in the same very shortly was awaited for nearly 4 months. Surprisingly, In the month of August we heard that a new 1600 kv transformer will be installed in place of the former, which was somehow a big relief to us, Sadly it lasted specifically for 2 days and never worked again. Later we found out that the last arrived transformer was a repaired & painted, worn out one from Pfutsero.

In respect to the mentioned condition, the undersigned request your authority to have genuine concern & consideration for the oldest KPA in Nagaland taking in view the plight of the students and Emlo-To area, by immediately sanctioning a new transformer with kb available to suffice so that the problem will be solved once and for all. We will remain grateful if prompt operation is taken and the needful is done.

Vikato I. Chishi, President, Emlo-To Students’ Union

New Delhi, Sep 6 (PTI): Country’s onion output is estimated to have touched the 21 million tonne mark -- a new record -- in the crop year ended June 2016, the government said Monday.

Tomato production also rose 12 percent to 18.4 mt in 2015-16 crop year as against 16.3 mt in the previous year.

However, potato output declined 9 percent to 43.7 mt compared with 48 mt last year.

“Production of onion is estimated to be around 21 million tonnes, which is 11 percent higher than the previous year,” the agriculture ministry said while releasing the third advance estimate of horticultural crops for 2015-16.

Onion output had dropped to 18.92 million tonnes in 201415 crop year (July-June) due to poor rains. The previous record was 19.4 mt in 2013-14.

“We have achieved a new record in onion production in 2015-16 as acreage rose buoyed by good weather and better prices during the sowing period,” National Horticulture Board Managing Director A K Singh told PTI. Potato production has dropped because of a fall in output in West Bengal, he said. Higher onion output meant wholesale prices crashed to as low as Rs 7 per kg in producing states this year, from Rs 45 in the same period last year, as per government data.

“We have to wait to know the real impact of Brexit.It’s too premature how companies are going to react. See what’s happening is all business in the UK has come down by 10 per cent in rupees because of currency impact. And (the) UK is about 15 per cent of India’s exports.

So, 15 per cent (10 per cent of 15 per cent) means, it will come down by 1.5 per cent (currency impact). Australian currency is appreciating. We do not know how Euro will behave in the next three months. So, we have to wait. It’s too uncertain to take a call,” he said.

On what Indian IT companies have to do to improve operational efficiency and costcutting, the Chairman of venture capital fund Aarin Capital Partners, and Manipal Global Education, said the sector has to automate and become more productive but added that they are already doing that.

“They have to get into the consolidation mode, buy up smaller companies... Because the industry is consolidating and they must become costefficient which is not difficult.

Hyderabad, Sep 6 (PTI): The revenue growth of Indian IT exports this financial year is likely to be slower than industry body Nasscom’s projection of 10-12 per cent, according to industry veteran T V Mohandas Pai. “The figures could be lower than what Nasscom has said. But it’s still (expected to) be good figures. They forecast 10 to 12 per cent, I would say 9 to 10 per cent is something that could be more reasonable because we already have seen in the first quarter some companies not meeting numbers...Second quarter, some companies going quiet. So, 9 to 10 per cent is reasonable,” the former Board member at Infosys told PTI. A clear picture would emerge after companies announce results for the September quarter, which is generally good for them.

“Europe is beginning to look better. Brexit has hurt the UK. America... We have to see what happens. Some industries are going quiet. So, we need some time, it’s too premature to say anything. In 30 days, we will have a clear picture,”

Mumbai, Sep 6 (PTI): Markets put up remarkable moves today, with the Sensex surging by 446 points to hit a nearly 17month high of 28,978.02, while the Nifty zoomed 133.35 points as investors were in a buoyant mood after a weak US jobs data diminished hopes of an interest-rate hike by the Fed. Both the indices, Sensex and Nifty, recorded their biggest single-day gains in nearly two months.

Bulls took over as soon as the market reopened after a long gap, as weaker-thanexpected US jobs data, released last week, reduced chances of a near-term US interest-rate hike.

A three-and-a-half year high in domestic services sector growth, led by new business orders amid improved market conditions, also perked up market momentum.

He still faces the prospect of a possible investigation by the House of Commons’ watchdog over the tabloid allegations after he was referred to the UK’s Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Kathryn Hudson,

by Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen yesterday.

Vaz - who was born to Goan parents in Aden, Yemen, in 1956 and went on to study law at Cambridge University - has been Labour party MP from Leicester East since 1987 and served as minister for Europe in former prime minister Tony Blair’s cabinet, becoming the first Indian-origin minister to occupy a senior cabinet portfolio at the time.

The Labour party, meanwhile, seems to be standing by Vaz, with party leader Jeremy Corbyn indicating there is no need for him to stand down from the party.

London, Sep 6 (PTI) :Britain’s longest serving Indianorigin Labour MP Keith Vaz today resigned from his post as chair of the influential Parliamentary committee following a sex scandal involving male prostitutes.

The 59-year-old influential lawmaker has served as chair of the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee for over nine years but told its members at a meeting today he was “genuinely sorry” over recent events but added that “those who hold others to account must themselves be accountable”.

“It is in the best interest of the Home Affairs Select Committee that its important work can be conducted without any distractions whatsoever. I am genuinely sorry that recent events make it impossible for this to happen if I remain chair,” he said in a statement.

“Those who hold others to account must themselves be accountable... I told the committee today of my decision to stand aside immediately from committee business, and my intention to resign. This is my decision, and mine alone, and my first consideration has been the effect of recent events on my family,” Vaz said.

However, the judge concluded a custodial sentence was a given even as his supporters shouted “Allahu Akbar” from the public gallery at Old Bailey court.

“You are free to hold your views but Parliament has made it an offence to invite support for a proscribed organisation. The reason is obvious. A terrorist organisation with the support of many will be stronger than that with the support of a few. You referred happily to the prospect of the ISIS flag flying over 10 Downing Street and the White House,” the judge told Choudary. The trial heard that the preacher, viewed by British security services as a key force in radicalising young Muslims, had been the “mouthpiece” of Omar Bakri Mohammed, currently in jail in Lebanon, and Mohammed Fachry, the head of the banned group in Indonesia.

Commander Dean Haydon, head of Scotland Yard’s counter- terrorism command, said after his conviction had become public last month: “These men have stayed just within the law for many years, but there is no-one within the counter-terrorism world that has any doubts of the influence that they have had, the hate they have spread and the people that they have encouraged to join terrorist organisations.

London, Sep 6 (PTI): UKbased radical Islamic preacher Anjem Choudary was today jailed for five-and-a-half years by a British court which convicted him of encouraging support for the Islamic State terrorist group.

Choudary, 49, was convicted at the Old Bailey court in London in July and a judge today ruled that the “calculating and dangerous” man should be locked up behind bars. The preacher, who had backed the ISIS in an oath of allegiance published online, was imprisoned alongside his 33-year-old aide Mohammed Rahman, also sentenced to five years and six months in prison.

Choudary’s barrister Mark Summers had argued that his client regretted breaking the law and urged Justice Holroyde not to sentence him on the basis of his 20 years of notoriety, nor on claims he had indoctrinated “a generation of people to commit direct acts of terrorism”.

“Choudary has done his best to stay within the law, acting on the boundaries of it maybe, but determined to stay within the law. He has had time to reflect, and on reflection would have done things differently had he known the boundaries of the law. He is determined not to cross those boundaries in the future,” Summers said.

Washington, Sep 6 (PTI): The White House cancelled the meeting of the US President Barack Obama with his Philippine counterpart Rodrigo Duterte after the latter used obscene language against him.

“President Obama will not be holding a bilateral meeting with President Duterte of the Philippines this afternoon,” said Ned Price spokesman of the National Security Council, White House. “Instead, he will meet with President Park of the Republic of Korea this afternoon, September 6,” Price said in a brief statement.

The White House decision in this regard came after the newly elected President of Philippines accused Obama and used an obscene language against him – an unprecedented accusation against a US President. “Who does he think he is? I am no American puppet.

I am the president of a sovereign country and I am not answerable to anyone except the Filipino people.

Son of a bitch, I will swear at you,” Duterte said in Philippines yesterday. His remarks came after the White House officials said Obama in his meeting with him in Laos today would confront about his country’s human rights record of handling drug traffickers.

that “to ensure durable ties and their steady development, it is of paramount importance that we respect each other’s aspirations, concerns and strategic interests”.

Their meeting took place in the backdrop of steady decline in the relations over China’s technical hold in UN over banning Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar and Beijing stalling India’s bid to gain members of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) besides CPEC.

“The two sides also agreed to respect and accommodate each other’s concerns and properly handle sensitive issues to avoid their impedance to the normal development of bilateral relations,” Hua said in response to a question.

In the bilateral meeting with Xi, Modi raised India’s concerns over the USD 46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) being laid through PoK and told Xi

After meeting Modi, Xi had said that “China is willing to work with India to maintain their hard-won sound relations and further advance cooperation”.

“China and India should respect and care for each other on issues of major concern, and handle differences in a constructive way,” Xi was quoted by state-run Xinhua news agency as saying.

Commenting on ModiXi meeting, Hu Shisheng, Director of the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations affiliated to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said India-China ties faced serious tensions over issues relating to Pakistan.

He said Pakistan has become a visible negative factor in India-China relations.

“This may also be due to India’s rapidly increasing relations with the US and Japan.

Chinese scholars apprehend that the Cold War my come again. We should prevent that,” he said and called for enhanced talks between the two countries.

John Abraham: Sad that we have alienated North East from India

B

ollywood actor John Abraham says it is rather sad that the North East region has been ‘alienated’ from the rest of the country, with people having little knowledge about it. John says the region has been ignored not only geographically, but also in terms of history.

“Historically and geographically, we have alienated the North East from the rest of India. It is truly sad. I think we have to be inclusive and it is high time we include North East in India,” says John.

The ‘Dishoom’ star feels it is important for people to know how beautiful the place is and spread more awareness regarding it.

“It is important for us to bring it back in the mainstream and tell people that this place is not impossible to go to. It is so beautiful, it has everything that we look for,” he added.

The 43-year old actor has been roped in as the brand ambassador for Arunachal Pradesh Tourism. The ‘Rocky Handsome’ actor says when

he was offered to be the face of the state, he considered it as a ‘blessing in disguise’ as it is the region he supports the most. John says he is now keen to shoot films there and has already spoken to the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh about it.

“I spoke to the honourable chief minister Pema Khandu and told him that I would be keen to shoot a film there. He assured me that he will extend any kind of support and service that is needed. So when the CM is forthcoming, it makes life easier,” he said. John, who already owns a football team in North East, is also open to back talent from the region.

“I would really like to back talent in films from there just the way I do it for my football team. Not necessarily in front of the camera but also behind the camera.”

Viacom18 has partnered with the government of Arunachal Pradesh to provide strategic consultation services to promote the tourism in the state.

hether anybody is a Shah Rukh Khan fan or not, they would all agree with one thing that Shah Rukh Khan has earned his name and fame in the world without any godfather.

We recently stumbled upon one such short film which has a very young

Shah Rukh showing his acting prowess and how! The film is called ‘Mahaan Karz’. Shah Rukh can be seen in the garb of a treasurer’s son who wants to work in the castle of Maharaja.

This short film is a proof of how far the superstar has come in his journey as an actor and the amount of effort he put to become the Badshah of Bollywood. It proves that he never took acting lightly and we love him for that.

Apart from world number five Nadal, who lost in the fourth round at the US Open, Spain has packed the side with world number 13 David Ferrer, world number 18 Feliciano Lopez and Mark Lopez (world number 19 in doubles).

India though have competitive doubles players in the squad in Rohan Bopanna (world number 17 in doubles) and Leander Paes (ranked 62). “That is a fully loaded Spain team and it will be a battle for us. Hope it brings the best out of us,” Myneni told PTI from New York, reacting to the squad announcement.

Jimmy Neesham W e l l i n g to n, S e p 6 (IANS): Aiming to win their maiden Test series in the subcontinent, New Zealand selectors on Tuesday recalled allrounder Jimmy Neesham for the three-match series in India, starting later this month.

The 15-man squad has three changes from the side which recently toured South Africa, with pacer Matt Henry and opening batsman Jeet Raval dropping out and Neesham the one addition.

Neesham, who has played nine Tests, has battled a back injury that forced him to return from the series against Australia in November last year.

He played for Otago province during the last New Zealand domestic season and recently played for the English county Derbyshire. “Jimmy has put in a lot of work to make sure he is physically ready for a return to Test cricket,” selector Gavin Larsen was quoted as saying by blackcaps.co.nz.

“Having two pace bowling all-rounders in Jimmy and Doug Bracewell helps the balance of the squad, particularly if playing on pitches which demand a spin-heavy bowling attack.” The Kiwis also retained out-of-form opener Martin Guptill, who failed drastically in the two Tests against South Africa last month. Larsen said India’s home record was formidable but the Kiwis were looking for a historic series win.

“We’re yet to win a Test series over there and that’s motivating for everyone,” he said. “We’ve got three Tests to try create a special piece of history.” New Zealand will play Tests in Kanpur, Kolkata and Indore, followed by a five-match one-day series against India.

The entire Russian paralympic team has been barred from the Paralympic Games that will start in Brazil on September 7.

Last month, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld the International Paralympic Committee’s decision not to admit any Russian Paralympians to the Games.

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) denied 175 Russian paralympians the right to compete in the Rio Games as individual athletes.

The IPC based its decision on the conclusions made in the report of sports law Professor Richard McLaren, who chairs the independent commission of the World AntiDoping Agency (WADA).

On July 22, the IPC opened a case against the Russian Paralympic Committee on grounds that the names of 35 Russian para-athletes were mentioned in McLaren’s report.

Rozhkov said 10 Russian athletes whose bids for an injunction allowing them to compete at the Paralympics were rejected by the Bonn court on Monday have appealed the ruling at the court in Cologne.

“The state court in Bonn has rejected the bids of 10 Russian Paralympians for adoption of urgent measures to allow them to compete in the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro,” Rozhkov said.

Mumbai, Sep 6 (Agencies): Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting wants a two-tier system to be introduced in one-day cricket where teams would face promotion and relegation.

Speaking in India ahead of Australia’s tour later this autumn, Ponting believes ODIs would be made more relevant by increasing the stakes on individual series.

His proposal would see international teams divided into groups depending on their ICC ranking, a change that has already been discussed regarding the Test format.

Murray powers into US Open qtrs

Andy Murray, of Britain, returns a shot to Grigor Dimitrov, of Bulgaria, during the fourth round of the U.S. Open tennis tournament, Monday. (AP/PTI) New York, Sep 6 (Agencies): Andy Murray sent down his fastest ever serve as he quickly dismissed Grigor Dimitrov to set up a quarterfinal with Kei Nishikori at the US Open.

The second-seeded Scot recorded a 141mph serve as he exploited an error-strewn display from Dimitrov to complete a 6-1 6-2 6-2 win in New York.

Murray has reached the final of every Grand Slam tournament this year and will next face Nishikori, a man he has beaten in seven of their eight matches.

The Wimbledon champion had lost his last encounter with Dimitrov at the Miami Masters, but would dominate their latest meeting, breaking the Bulgarian’s serve almost at will.

Dimitrov dumped a rou-

tine overhead volley into the net to offer an early 3-1 lead to Murray, who then reeled off the next six games in a row.

After collecting the first set, the Scot would surge 3-0 up in the second and briefly exchanged breaks with Dimitrov before serving out for a two-nil lead in the match.

Dimitrov had no answer to Murray’s precise ground strokes which were finding the corners with pinpoint accuracy and the British No 1 added two more breaks to quicken his progress in the third.

A brief rain delay only kept Murray at bay for a few minutes and he returned to complete a dominant victory.

Asked about his fastest serve, Murray said: “I served one at 145 in San Jose, but the next day they recalibrated the gun, because it was completely wrong. But that is definitely

the fastest serve that I have hit.

I think the other fastest serve I hit was here at the US Open, around 138.”

“But I’ve never hit over 140, so I think it was lucky.

I only did it once, so I’m not expecting to do it again.”

Wawrinka to face Del Potro

Stan Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro will meet in the quarter-finals of the US Open after contrasting fourth round successes.

Del Potro was handed an easy passage into the last-eight when Dominic Thiem retired from their encounter midway through the second set while trailing 6-3 3-2.

Wawrinka had things harder for a second successive match, dropping a set to unseeded Illya Marchenko two days after being taken the dis-

Serena through; Venus bows out

Williams’ victory took her one above Roger Federer with 308 Grand Slam match wins.

New York, Sep 6 (Agencies): Serena Williams passed another landmark as she reached the quarter-finals of the US Open, but her sister Venus suffered defeat at Flushing Meadows.

The six-time champion swept aside Yaroslava Shvedova 6-2 6-3 to record her 308th Grand Slam match win, taking her past Roger

Federer’s previous record for the most victories at major tournaments.

Serena was never seriously troubled by the 52ndranked Kazakh as she stayed on track for a 23rd Grand Slam title and will next face fifth seed Simona Halep.

Venus had earlier suffered a heartbreaking fourthround loss to Karolina Plisko-

Indian men beat Cuba in Chess Olympiad

CHENNAI, Sep 6 (IANS): The Indian team in the open section continued its winning run defeating Cuba 2.5-1.5 in the fourth round of the World Chess Olympiad held at Baku, Azerbaijan on Monday.

While Indian Grandmaster (GM) and Chess Olympiad debutant Vidit Santosh Gujarathi won against his Cuban opponent, his team mates GM P Harikrishna, B Adhiban and SP Sethuraman split points with their opponents.

On the other hand, the Indian women’s team drew its outing against Israel 2-2. World No.5

va in New York The 36-year-old fended off three match points to force a tie-break, but Pliskova held her nerve to complete a 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7/3) win, which sent the 10th seeded Czech into her first Grand Slam quarter-final.

The elder Williams sister won the opening set as she attempted to become the oldest female Grand Slam quarterfinalist of the Open era.

But Pliskova claimed a break mid-way through the second and soon levelled the match. Both players dropped serve in an eventful deciding set and Pliskova failed to serve out at 6-5 up, with Williams saving a succession of break points.

There would be one more reprieve for Williams in the tie-break as she successfully challenged a match point, but Pliskova sealed victory with the very next point.

Halep joined Pliskova in the last eight after defeating Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2 7-5.

tance by Britain’s Dan Evans.

The third seed looked to be in cruise control when he opened up a two-set lead for the loss of only five games, but he was sloppy in the third before regaining his rhythm to progress 6-4 6-1 6-7 6-3.

Things will get even tougher in the quarters for Wawrinka, despite Del Potro’s lowly world ranking of 142.

“It’s going to be great to play (Del Potro),” Wawrinka said. “He beat me this year at Wimbledon. He’s back after so many injuries, so it’s good to see him playing so well again. “It’s going to be a great challenge for me to play him here on the hard court for the first time. Excited to play against him and hopefully I can keep going here.”

The Argentine has been in fantastic form since his long-awaited return from a series of wrist surgeries, giving Andy Murray an almighty scare when they met in the final of the Olympics in Rio last month.

Del Potro won the championship at Flushing Meadows in 2009 and looks to be heading back to that kind of form, albeit not needing to be at his best against a limping Thiem.

The Austrian blamed compensating for blisters on his feet for a problem with his knee that forced him to bring an end to the match after consulting with trainers.

“I was close to retiring before my third surgery but after that I always believe in myself to come back,” said Del Potro, “When I made the decision to do the surgery, I always believed I will come back, for sure. I didn’t expect to be in quarters in my second grand slam after my comeback. My level is growing up every day.

Everything can happen.”

Yogeshwar’s Olympic medal won’t be upgraded to gold: UWW New Delhi, Sep 6 (IANS): The United World Wrestling (UWW) on Tuesday quashed all speculation about star wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt’s bronze at the 2012 Olympics turning into gold by announcing that gold medallist Togrul Asgarov of Azerbaijan has not tested positive for banned substances.

“Contrary to news reports, 2012 Olympic gold medallist Togrul ASGAROV (AZE) has never been in violation of UWW’s anti-doping policy,” UWW, the governing body of world wrestling confirmed on Twitter.

Yogeshwar had originally taken bronze in the men’s 60kg freestyle category at the London Olympics in 2012 by defeating Ri Jong-Myong of North Korea in the play-off.

The 34-year-old had been defeated by Russian grappler Besik Kudukhov in the pre-quarterfinals at the

2012 Games. Kudukov went on to bag the silver after losing to Asgarov in the final.

However, Kudukov, who had died in a car crash in southern Russia in 2013, was recently found to have used a banned substance during a retest of samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics conducted by the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA), which means the Indian’s bronze medal is expected to be upgraded to silver.

Earlier, Yogeshwar, who failed to win a match at the 2016 Rio Olympics, had said that he has been informed that his 2012 bronze was upgraded to silver.

“This morning I got to know that my Olympic medal has been upgraded to Silver. I dedicate this medal to my countrymen,” is the English rendering of what Yogeshawar wrote in Hindi on August 30.

Sushil Kumar recommended for Padma Bhushan

New Delhi, Sep 6 (PTI): New Delhi: Two-time Olympic-medallist wrestler Sushil Kumar has been nominated for the Padma Bhushan, India’s third-highest civillian honour, by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).

The Federation has also recommended female wrestler Alka Tomar and Dronacharya awardee Yashvir Singh, Sushil’s coach, for the honour.

“All three names were recommended earlier last month for the honour,” WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar said.

Earlier, Sushil’s name was recommended for the honour two years ago but was rejected.

Sushil is the only Indian athlete to have won two individual Olympic medals -- a bronze in the 2008 Beijing Games and a silver in the 2012 London Games.

Already bestowed with the Khel Ratna award -- the country’s highest sporting honour -- Sushil is also a World Championships goldmedallist, a two-time Commonwealth Games gold-medallist, four-time Commonwealth champion.

Narsingh, who ultimately could not take part at the Rio Games after failing a dope test, was picked by the WFI ahead of Sushil on the basis of him bagging the 74kg Olympic quota berth with a World Championships bronze last year.

Sushil’s demands for a trial in 74kg category to select who would represent India at the Rio Games were rejected by both WFI as well as the Delhi High Court after a lengthy legal battle.

Messi aggravated the injury on his return to international football with Argentina last week, where he scored the winner in a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay.

The five-time World Player of the Year was supposed to feature in Argentina’s next qualifier against Venezuela on Tuesday but instead returned to Catalonia where he underwent scans over the weekend.

Barcelona said in a statement on Monday, “Tests conducted today on Leo Messi have confirmed that the player is still having trouble with the left adductor muscle. He has been recommended to lighten his training load over the next few days and his availability will depend on how the issue progresses.”

Messi has played down the injury and wrote on Facebook: “Everything is fine, I have to slow things down as I recover with physio, but it’s nothing to worry about.”

Nagaland Post, Dimapur wednesday, september 7, 2016

Costa is congratulated by Spanish team-mates after helping get their 2018 World Cup campaign off to a winning start.

B A RCELO N A , S e p 6 (Agencies): Spain started their World Cup qualifying campaign with a crushing 8-0 win over Liechtenstein, laying down a marker in Group G with a ruthless second-half display on Monday.

Diego Costa scored his first goal for Spain in almost two years to put Julen Lopetegui’s side ahead in the 10th minute in their first competitive game under their new coach and Sergi Roberto doubled the lead in the 55th.

Costa got his second while David Silva and substitute Al-

varo Morata also got braces and Vitolo opened his international account as the former world champions ran riot.

“Sometimes an opponent’s name can fool you but we played a great game,” said Lopetegui. “We reaped in the second half what we had sowed in the first.”

Costa was the focus of the pre-match build-up having netted once in his previous 11 appearances since switching nationalities from Brazil in 2014 and needed only 10 minutes to open the scoring, rising high to head in Koke’s free kick.

The entrance of substitute Nolito for Thiago Alcantara at the start of the second half livened up the home side and it was the Manchester City forward who laid the ball on for Roberto to grab his first international goal.

The floodgates had opened for Spain, the 2010 world champions who lost in the last 16 of this year’s European Championship.

Silva was soon in on the act, adding to his double in the friendly against Belgium last week by turning in Vitolo’s cross from close range. Barely

Rio de Janeiro, Sep 6 (IANS): Represented by their largest ever contingent, India will hope for an improved medals tally when the Paralympic Games start here on Wednesday. A total of 19 Indian athletes will feature in 10 disciplines at the Games which will be held September 7-18.

The Sports Ministry announced on Tuesday that the Indian gold medallists from the Paralympic Games will be awarded Rs.75 lakh, the silver medallists will get Rs.50 lakh while Rs.30 lakh will be given to the bronze medallists.

Among the Indian athletes, javelin thrower Devendra Jhajharia, who became India’s first Paralympic gold medallist in Athens 2004, will be taking part in his fourth edition and will hope to finish on the podium this time as well. The 2016 Paralympics will see as many

a minute later, Silva repaid the favour by teeing up the Sevilla forward to mark another impressive display for his country with a goal. Spain only grew hungrier and Costa wanted another bite. He effortlessly turned two defenders in the area before firing at goalkeeper Peter Jehle’s right foot, calmly nodding in the rebound for the fifth goal.

“Players control their destiny and we just try to help them, but Diego is a great player and he proved it today,” added Lopetegui.

Costa came off to a standing ovation but his replacement Morata threatened to upstage him with two strikes in under a minute, slamming in at the near post before striking the ball past the hapless Jehle from the edge of the area. Silva had a goal harshly ruled out as stoppage time approached but the City playmaker grabbed his second a minute later with a crisp shot.

Ten-man Italy beat Israel

Ten-man Italy claimed a hard-fought win in Israel in their opening World Cup qualifier last night – but the three points came at a cost.

Graziano Pelle’s goal and Antonio Candreva’s penalty had Giampiero Ventura’s visitors two up after half an hour of the Group G clash and, even after conceding before the break

and then having Giorgio Chiellini harshly sent off shortly after it, they never looked like losing control.

Ciro Immobile, a secondhalf substitute, sealed the victory with an emphatic finish seven minutes from time.

Chiellini’s dismissal, though, could be keenly felt as it means the defender will be suspended for Italy’s heavyweight meeting with Spain, the side they beat in the last 16 of Euro 2016 and who opened their qualifying campaign with a thumping 8-0 over Liechtenstein, in Turin next month.

Maccabi Tel Aviv winger Tal Ben Haim had got Israel back into the match with a glorious chip 10 minutes before half-time, but, despite playing with an extra man for much of the second period they could not get an equaliser.

Meanwhile, Valon Berisha celebrated being cleared to play for Kosovo by earning them a 1-1 draw in Finland in their first ever World Cup qualifier. He scored his new country’s first competitive goal, converting emphatically from the penalty spot on the hour after namesake Bernard was fouled by Thomas Lam. Finland had taken the lead in the 18th minute when Robin Lod’s corner found its way to defender Paulus Arajuuri, who blasted home from six yards.

Moscow, Sep 6 (IANS): Over 100,000 people have submitted personal applications to serve as volunteers at the 2018 football World Cup, to be hosted by 11 Russian cities, a senior official in charge of the competition has announced.

Alexei Sorokin, Director General of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) Russia-2018, announced on his Twitter account that Monday “marked the 100,000th volunteer application”, reports Tass.

“Thank you everyone, wishing to stage the world’s best ever championship,” Sorokin said.

The 2018 World Cup and the 2017 Confederations Cup Volunteer Recruitment campaign was launched at a solemn ceremony in Moscow on June 1 by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Last October, the Russian Sports Ministry certified 15 higher education establishments in 11 cities across Russia, officially authorising them to recruit and prepare volunteers for the Confederations Cup and the World Cup, which are the two major football events to be hosted

by Russia in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
