Court scalps 21 Parl Secys AAP GOVT IN DEEP CRISIS; BALL IN ECI COURT

NEW DELHI, SEP 8 (AGENCIES): In a major jolt to the Arvind Kejriwal government, Delhi High Court on Thursday set aside its order appointing 21 AAP MLAs as parliamentary secretaries on the ground that it was issued without the concurrence of the Lieutenant Governor (LG).

The order came around a month after the High Court on August 4 held that the LG was the administrative head of the Union Territory of Delhi and his concurrence was “mandatory” in administrative issues.

A Bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal set aside the March 13, 2015 order after the counsel appearing for the Delhi government “conceded” that it was issued without taking concurrence or views of the LG. Senior advocate Sudhir Nandrajog, appearing for the Delhi government, referred to the August 4 verdict and said, “Today, I have to concede that the judgement stands against me (Delhi government).”

He said that the March 13, 2015 order, appointing 21 legislators as parliamentary secretaries, was issued without taking the concurrence or view of the LG. Taking note of the submissions, the bench said, “it has been conceded by the GNCTD that order dated March 13, 2015 was issued without seeking concurrence/view of the LG. The impugned order of the GNCTD is set aside following the ratio laid down (in the August 4 verdict).” The High Court had passed the August 4 verdict on a batch of petitions arising out of the tussle between the Centre and the AAP government over LG’s administrative powers on governance of the national Capital.

During the hearing on Thursday, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain told the bench that the Election Commission was also seized of the matter pertaining to appointment of these legislators as parliamentary secretaries.

No parl. secy in Delhi now: AAP

The AAP on Thursday said there are no Parliamentary Secretaries in Delhi following the Delhi High Court’s order quashing their appointments.

Delhi’s ruling party noted that the verdict was based on the high court’s earlier ruling giving the Lieutenant Governor primacy in administrative affairs in the Capital. AAP spokesperson Dilip Pandey said the Delhi government told the court that the appointment of 21 Parliamentary Secretaries was made without the approval of Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.

“Taking cognizance of this the high court quashed the appointments of the 21 Parliamentary Secretaries. This implies that at this point of time there is no Parliamentary Secretary in Delhi,” Pandey said. Nagendar Sharma, media advisor to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, said: “After today’s (Thursday) high court order there is no Parliamentary Secretary in Delhi.” Sharma said they will not move the Supreme Court over the issue. “Why should we go to Supreme Court?”

EC to examine verdict

The Election Commission on Thursday said it will examine the verdict of the Delhi High Court setting aside an order appointing 21 AAP MLAs as parliamentary secretaries to ascertain whether it will have an im-

3 student bodies serve ultimatum on state govt DIMAPUR, SEP 8 (NPN): Angami Students’ Union (ASU), Lotha Students’ Union (LSU) and Ao Students’ Conference (AKM) while reminding the government of their representation submitted to the chief minister through the principal secretary on August 24, 2016, have served a five-day ultimatum on the government to address their demand.

In an ultimatum addressed to the chief minister, ASU president Dievi Yano, LSU speaker Abenthung Tsopoe and AKM president L. Jemti Longchar stated that they were “anxiously awaiting” for response to their previous representation trusting the authority to redress the matter.

However, the three student bodies said they were “shocked” by both the silence and the government’s assurance given to Eastern Nagaland College Students’ Union (ENCSU), which was published in the local dailies on September 7, 2016. They said government’s assurance was against their appeal to maintain status quo of the

declared result conducted by NBSE and issued by Higher and Technical Education.

They said the guidelines as per Government Notification dated Kohima, May 30, 2016 under Section III clause (d) of the order states that; “In case qualified candidates under Backward tribe reservation are not available, then all such unfilled seats will be de-reserved and allotted to candidates under category I while maintaining merit”.

The three bodies stated that following the order, four seats were de-reserved and selection towards that end has already been declared.

Therefore, they affirmed that under any circumstances the status quo of the declared result must stand “as the career of every student is equally important who by the sweat of their brow have earned their position of merit.” As such, the three bodies demanded that its ultimatum be addressed within five days, failing which, they would “initiate all necessary measures to fight for our just democratic rights.”

pact on a case being heard by it seeking the disqualification of the lawmakers for allegedly holding office of profit.

“We will have to study whether the high court order has been issued on a retrospective basis. Only then can the commission decide whether it will have an impact on the ongoing cases of disqualification against the MLAs,” a senior functionary said.

But one view in the commission is that the proceedings in the Delhi High Court and the EC are on different issues — the first dealing with appointment of MLAs as parliamentary secretaries and other seeking their disqualification for allegedly holding office of profit.

Earlier, the Punjab and Haryana High Court reasoned that the Governor or the state legislature has no competence to frame rules regulating conditions of appointment and services of either CPSs or parliamentary secretaries for their functioning within the House of the state assembly and therefore set aside the appointment of 18 Chief Parliamentary Secretaries (CPSs) of Punjab’s SAD-BJP government made in April 2012.

In a 71-page judgment pronounced, the division bench comprising Justices SS Saron and Ramendra Jain said that the parliamentary secretaries in fact perform the functions almost like ministers and enjoy perks and facilities equivalent to that of ministers. “Therefore, the parliamentary secretaries are in the nature of junior ministers who change with the government of the day. As such, appointments of Chief Parliamentary Secretaries amount to infraction of the provisions of Article 164 (1A) of the Constitution,” reads judgment.

Appraisal of govt projects under stringent scrutiny NEW DELHI, SEP 8 (AGENCIES): To ensure expeditious implementation of projects, the expenditure department has come out with stringent norms for appraisal under which ministries will have to provide both financial and physical targets for current as well as future years.

The concerned ministry/departments, the office memorandum said, will be required to indicate outcomes in the form of “measurable indicators” which can be used to evaluate the proposal periodically.

As per the new norm, administrative ministries will have to ensure that the significant outcome of the proposed scheme should not overlap with that of the existing schemes.

The government has modified the norms for appraisal of public funded schemes after a comprehensive review of the existing guidelines.

As far as the funding of the scheme is concerned, the ministries will now have to indicate the source of finance, whether it is budgetary support, extra budgetary support, external aid or contribution of the state.

As part of the appraisal process, the ministries would be required to spell out targeted beneficiaries, social groups, and mode of delivery.

The ministries would also be required to submit cost analysis for the duration of the scheme -- both year and component wise. It should also include segregated non recurring and recurring expenses.

In case the scheme involves pay out of subsidy, the annual quantum of such payout will have to be indicated.

Wherever land has to be acquired, the details of cost of land and cost of rehabilitation and resettlement have to be provided.

To shed some light into the world of MTF, which has been receiving funds from the state government, Nagaland Post met with Project Director MTF Gugs Chishi on Thursday.

KTDSSU expressed shock that GPS building (erstwhile boys hostel for GMS Sitimi Town) at Sitimi town built in 1985 was in deplorable condition. The union said during rainy seasons students were compelled to shift to two-room extension provided by SSA thus hampering normal classes during rain.

KTDSSU also said that GPS Seyochung Town and GPS Shothumi “A” buildings were on the verge of col-

Prez nod to Constitution Amendment Bill on GST

Pranab Mukherjee

NEW DELHI, SEP 8 (PTI): President Pranab Mukherjee today gave assent to Constitution Amendment Bill on Goods and Services Tax (GST), a major step towards rolling out the new indirect tax regime which the Modi government wants to come into effect from April 1 next year.

Mukherjee has given approval to the bill, official sources said today.

The passage of the bill will pave the way for setting up of a GST council that will decide the tax rate, cess and surcharges.

The GST is a single indirect tax which will subsume most of the central and state taxes such as Value Added Tax (VAT), excise duty, service tax, central sales tax, additional customs duty and special additional duty of customs.

The Parliament had on August 8 passed the bill which was then circulated to state governments seeking its ratifi-

cation. A Constitution amendment bill needs to be ratified by the legislative Assemblies of at least 50 per cent of the states. The bill was sent to the President’s secretariat after as many as 17 states, BJP-ruled Assam being the first, ratified the bill.

The other states which have passed the legislation include Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Nagaland, Maharashtra, Haryana, Sikkim, Mizoram, Telangana, Goa, Odisha and Rajasthan.

Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia had recently said that the government is ahead of schedule for implementation of GST. “Instead of 30 days kept for this (states’ ratification), it is achieved in 23 days,” he had said in a tweet.

Now that the bill has got Presidential assent, the government will notify the GST Council, which will decide on the tax rate. Headed by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, the Council will comprise state Finance Ministers.

The states and the Centre are working overtime and talking to stakeholders to draft the Central GST, State GST and Integrated GST laws, which are to be passed in the Winter Session of Parliament.The CGST and IGST will be drafted on the basis of the model GST law. The states will draft their respective State

Though the matter has been brought to the notice of the responsible SDEO and directorate of school education by various organisations, the union said the department has failed to address the damage caused by natural calamity.

Owing to roofless class rooms, students were made to occupy in one class room af-

Music & entertainment industry in Nagaland KOHIMA, SEP 8 (NPN): State government in 2004 set up a think-tank under a special task force and this resulted in the creation of the Music Task Force (MTF) in 2006, a body patronised by the state government with the professed objective of promoting musicians.

In August 2012, the state government declared music as an industry in the state with great pride. Nagaland then became perhaps the first state in India to have declared music as an industry and leaving states like Meghalaya (supposedly the rock capital of NE/ India) and Mizoram (another state that had been producing performance winning beat groups) wondering.

After its formation, the MTF has become a household name in the state and other states as the facilitator of rock festival later international rock contest etc, held every year during the Hornbill Festival.

support programmes. MTF has supported more than 91 musicians, trained outside the state and said today many of them runs music schools in the state. Each trainee was given Rs 1 lakh as scholarship to cover their basic costs.

He said MTF has supported more than 440 organizations including clubs, church youth departments and music educational institutions and has partnered over 200 reality live events and shows including Naga organizations from within and outside the state besides.

fecting normal classes for the past five months, they said.

It was also stated that during rainy days many students hesitate to come to school leading to increase in drop outs at the primary level.

In this regard, the KTDSSU has urged the responsible department to look into the matter and address the hardships faced by the innocent students and teachers. The union cautioned that failure to address the matter would force it launch phase

wise agitation.

The union further said owing to shortage of teachers in some schools, even Grade IV staffs were compelled to teach main subjects.

Expressing dismay with the department for neglecting the primary and middle schools, the union said while some schools have excess teachers there was shortage of teachers in some schools.

Therefore, the union has urged the education department to speed up the “rationalisation” process to mend uniformity of teachers’ strength for smooth functioning of schools.

2 PHCs without doctors

KTDSSU has alleged that two Primary Health Centres (PHCs) at Sitimi and Seyochung were being neglected by the department, adding that both PHCs were functioning without doctors for several months and year.

It claimed that the doctor at Seyochung was on a study leave and doctor for Sitimi PHC was attached to District Hospital Kiphire.

RSCH reacts to ENPUD statement DIMAPUR, SEP 8 (NPN): Rson Star Children Home (RSCH) has reacted to the press statement of Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Union Dimapur (ENPUD) published on September 8, 2016, wherein the union claimed that 16 Eastern Naga children were rescued from Rson Star Children Home.

In a press release, RSCH secretary clarified that five children from the home studying in class A to 5, were allegedly caught for stealing guava, lemon and biscuits from a colony.

RSCH secretary stated that the children were expelled from the colony on August 22, 2016.

Thereafter, on hearing the matter, the secretary said ENPUD, ENSUD and ENWOD wrote a letter to Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Dimapur to “eject the remaining eastern children from the home”. On the same day (August 22), RSCH secretary said “CWC rushed to eject the children from the home against the wishes of the children and guardian.”

In view of that, RSCH

secretary said on August 23, an FIR was filed with West Police Station and the matter was referred to Lotha Hoho and Dimapur Lotha Students’ Union (DLSU) by the home on August 29, 2016.

On August 30, 2016, secretary said a case was filed in Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) as the matter involved a child in conflict with law, adding that case was being examined headed by magistrate (judicial).

Further, the secretary said an appeal case was also filed in the District and Sessions Judge Court against the CWC’s “illegal action” and the case was registered first appeal (CRL) No 3/2016 to “unearth the truth behind the episode of the lightning development against the home.” Therefore, RSCH has requested the public not to be carried away by “fallacious news report” as the case was under the stage of investigation and sub judice. It also appealed to refrain from making any statement till the truth was brought to light to avoid social discord.

This clarification is pertaining to the plea raised by Sodzülhou Village that Shri. L. Mero & brothers, son of Late Weprelo Mero donated a plot of land to Sodzülhou Village and 7th Mile Village as Community Play Ground which was mentioned in an acknowledgement published in the Nagaland Post issue of Dt. 21.08.2016, such acknowledgement or plea is quite unfounded and wild story "in as much as" the playground in question is well within the Village land of 7th Mile Village since the establishment of the Village way back in 1951 and the playground in question was developed in 1973 by the 7th Mile Village as sole and rightful owner of the said playground. It is an undisputed fact that the 7th Mile Village being a Govt. recognized village having its distinct and defined boundaries and the same playground is situated well within the boundaries of 7th Mile Village. Hence, the playground in question was never donated by Shri. L. Mero & brothers as claim by the Sodzülhou Village in the same acknowledgement.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Silver Jubilee of Chakhesang Games & Sports Association Dimapur Area (CGASADA) 1973–1998 was hosted by 7th Mile Village at its 7th Mile Village playground as the name of the said Silver Jubilee. In that event no one has raised a word this side or that side over the issue of playground of 7th Mile Village.

The ownership of the 7th Mile Village over the said playground has been affirmed by a settlement Azah passed by the Judicial Board, UT-I vide No. GPRN/JB-UT/SA/10/05 Dt. 10.08.2005 to the fact that 7th Mile Village is the legal and rightful owner of the playground dismissing all the claims of the Sodzülhou Village over the said playground.

Shillong, Sep 8: The autumn session of the Meghalaya Assembly will begin on Friday as the Congress-led Meghalaya United Alliance (MUA) government would try to get the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill passed in the session.

Apart from the GST Bill, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma said the government will also placed the Meghalaya Residents Safety Security Bill, 2016, which will verify tenants and prevent criminals from finding shelter in the state and enhancement of corpus contingency fund from Rs 105 crore to Rs 205 crore to meet the increasing expenses of the state government. The combined opposition Meghalaya People’s Front comprising of United Democratic Party and National People’s Party have decided to move a no-confidence motion against Speaker Abu Taher Mondal, as he had failed in his post.

This is the second time in a span of one year that the Opposition is moving a no confidence motion against the Speaker. The sudden development comes at a time when the Congress legislators are still unhappy with the style of functioning of the chief minister as their demand was for change of leadership and not for cabinet reshuffle.

Yesterday, a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party

and legislature party of MUA was held at the residence of the Chief Minister wherein the legislators have decided to stand united with the government during the five days assembly session, which is scheduled to be adjourned sine-dine on September 16.

The Congress has issued a three-line party whip to all party legislators, asking them to be present in the assembly when the no-confidence motion is taken up.

Meanwhile, Sangma said all members of the House must know their priorities and the important issues before the State and the time available to them in the Assembly must be utilized for the benefit of the State. “If they think that their agenda is to help the State, I leave it to their wisdom to decide,” he said.

Earlier in March last year, the opposition MPF had move the no-confidence motion against Speaker Mondal but survived through a voice vote.

Apart from the no-confidence motion, the opposition parties have decided to raise the burning issue of crime against women and children.

MPF spokesperson Paul Lyngdoh said the front members, in a meeting on Tuesday, raised concerns over the spurt in crime against women and children in the city as well as other parts of the State in the last few months.

which the hearing on held on August 6 and the court reserved till date.

The court pronounced its verdict today, Ratan’s counsel senior advocate Khaidem Mani informed media.

He said that above the personal bond for granting the bail, the court directed Ratan not to leave the state without prior consent of the court.

Ratan’s counsel said that the district and session judge while granting bail to Ratan rejected earlier ruling of Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMIC) Imphal West-1 citing that there were reasonable grounds for granting bail to the accused.

Advocate Mani, reiterated that the accused (Ratan) was detained in police and judicial custody on the basis of flimsy allegations and without material facts and activity or evidences, and that shall lead to the deprival of his rights and personal liberty.

On Thursday, he said, “The threat is local, regional, and transitional at the same time. Our partnership with ASEAN seeks to craft a response through coordination, cooperation at multiple levels.” In the face of growing traditional and non-traditional challenges, political cooperation has emerged as key in relations. “We are willing to take concrete steps to enhance cooperation in cyber security, de-radicalisation and counterterrorism,” he said. ‘’ASEAN is central to India’s Act East policy.

Sidhu formally launches new political front ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab’

Navjot Singh

THE

NEW DELHI, SEP 8 (AGENCIES): Cricketerturned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu formally announced his new political front ‘Awaaze-Punjab’ in Chandigarh on Thursday.

“At this stage ‘Awaaz e Punjab’ is not a party, it’s a forum. The redemption, resurrection and revival of this state is the aim of our Awaaz-e-Punjab,” Sidhu said at a media briefing in Chandigarh.

Sidhu had resigned from the Rajya Sabha on July 18, fuelling speculation that he may join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). On Thursday, he attacked both AAP chief

Arvind Kejrwal and the BJP. “Kejriwalj told him don’t fight (the upcoming Punjab) elections, ask your wife to contest, (i/we) will make her a minister. I said ‘Sat shri Akal’,” Sidhu said. The AAP chief, Sidhu added, only wants “yes men.” The former cricketer said his resignation from the Rajya Sabha “had nothing to do with Kejriwalji”.

The former Rajya Sabha member had on September 2 floated the ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab’ front. It is expected to contest the Punjab assembly elections that are slated for early next year.

Other members of the new front include former Indian hockey team captain Pargat Singh, a legislator of Punjab’s ruling Shiromani Akali Dal, and two independent legislators, Balwinder Singh Bains and Simarjeet Singh Bains. Pargat Singh was last month suspended from the Akali Dal for “anti-party” activities. The Bains brothers, who had fallen out with the Akali Dal top leadership three years ago, have significant influence in Ludhiana district.

Securing the seas was a shared responsibility. Sea lanes are “life lines of global trade.”

India supports freedom of navigation based on United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), he said.

He thanked the member- countries for sharing their views on “nature, direction and priorities of our engagement.”

“All three pillars of our partnership — security, economic and socio-cultural have registered good progress. Engagement of India-ASEAN is of economic optimism. We continue to expand and deepen our economic engagements,” Mr. Modi said.

Indian rocket lifts off with INSAT-3DR weather satellite SRIHARIKOTA (ANDHRA PRADESH) SEP 8 (IANS): An Indian rocket with an over two tonne INSAT-3DR advanced weather satellite blasted off from the Sriharikota spaceport here on Thursday afternoon.

At precisely 4.50 p.m. the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Development 5 (GSLV-F05) rose into sky with a deep growl, breaking free from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre here. The launch was delayed for 40 minutes due to a delay in fuelling the rocket’s third stage The 49.1 metre tall rocket, weighing 415.2 tonne rapidly rose towards the blue sky, spewing a thick orange plume.

The rocket would sling the INSAT-3DR satellite, which can also aid in search and rescue (SAR) operations, into a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) around 17 minutes into the flight.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists at the mission control centre here are intensely peering at their monitors to observe the rocket’s progress.

The GSLV is a three stage rocket. The first stage is fired by solid fuel and its four strapon motors by liquid fuel. The second is powered by liquid fuel and the third is the ISRO-developed cryogenic engine that is more efficient as it provides more thrust for every kilogram of propellant burnt.

Bosefiles.Info says Japan’s communication to the US in 1945 was an interim report and a prelude to the final report handed over to the Indian government in 1956.

The information had been sought by Lord Louis Mountbatten as commander of Allied Forces in India (then under British rule) and South East Asia. The Commander of the Allied Land Forces in the South West Pacific, US General Douglas MacArthur, through the Yokohama Division of the Japanese Army sought information from Japan on ‘Reported Death of CHANDRA BOSE” on behalf of Mountbatten on August 30, 1945 - 12 days after Netaji is believed to have been killed on August 18.

The latest disclosure is

attributed to 91-year-old USbased Govind Talwalkar, the former chief editor of ‘Maharashtra Times’ who had received the documents from the National Diet (Parliament) Library of Japan on December 23, 2015. In the “ad interim” report now published on the website, the Japanese government said Bose died “in an airplane accident” in Taihoku (Japanese name for Taipei).

The report says the 97-2 Model Japanese bomber carrying Bose reached the Taihoku Airfield (from Tourane, now known as Da Nang) at 13:00 o’clock.

It states: “After refuelling it took off at 14:00 o’clock.

When it rose about 10 metres above the ground the propeller of the left side engine fell apart.The plane, shaking violently right and left, listed to the left and crashed against the mound at the end of the airfield. Fire broke out instantly at both the front and the rear of the plane. “Bose, drenched in gasoline and covered with flame, emerged from a hole on the left side and toward the

Joint action needed for 100 % literacy: Prez

Pranab Mukherjee with Prakash Javadekar presenting the Saakshar Bharat National Literacy Award 2016 on Thursday. (PTI) New Delhi, Sep 8 (PTI): Saakshar Bharat and Swachh Bharat are two sides of the same coin and there cannot be one without the other, President Pranab Mukherjee Thursday said as he called for joint action by government and private bodies to achieve 100 per cent literacy in the country.

India) without Saakshar Bharat (Literate India),” he said at an event on the occasion of International Literacy Day. While emphasising on literacy, he said certain other things - cleanliness, environmental consciousness, responsibility to the neighbours, inculcating core civilisational values - are closely related and run parallel.

He said many a times it is seen that people who are

not literate show more dedication than those having formal education.

In his speech, Mukherjee said though much progress has been made, still the country has a “substantial” number of illiterate population of the world.

He mentioned the passing of the Right to Education Act a “crucial” step.

Taking note that a large number of people are still illiterate in the country, the President called for a “joint action” involving government, NGOs, local bodies, volunteers etc so that “tremendous momentum” can be generated and 100 per cent literacy can be achieved.

Ag reeing with HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, who had spoken before him, Mukherjee said that ‘each one, teach one’ can go a long way in achieving this goal.

The President said apart from being a teacher, he has also been a literacy activist.

Earlier Javadekar said the Narendra Modi government’s mantra is “reaching the unreached” and added that literacy is a great step towards empowerment.

VIENTIANE, Sep 8 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday expressed deep concern over the rising “export of terror”, in an apparent reference to Pakistan, saying it is a common security threat to the region and there was need for a coordinated response from the ASEAN member nations to combat the menace.

Mr. Modi, who was addressing the 14th ASEANIndia summit here, noted that growing radicalism through the ideology of hatred and spread of extreme violence were the other security threats.

“Export of terror, growing radicalisation and spread of extreme violence are common security threats to our societies,” he said in his second attack on Pakistan in two days amid escalating war of words between New Delhi and Islamabad. On Monday, Mr. Modi made a sharp attack on Paki-

“His aide HR (Habib-urRahman) also crawled out of the machine, and endeavoured to extinguish the fire on Bose, who however had been severely burned, beside being injured at several places, including two or three cuts in the neck. Ten minutes after the accident, he was taken to the Army Hospital in Taihoku, and received treatment at 15:00 o’clock. His death came at 21:00 o’clock.”

In reference to the “disposition of the remains of Bose”, the report said, they were “placed in a coffin” on August 20, the “cremation” took place on “22 August” and the “funeral at the Nishi Honganji Temple, Taihoku” on “August 23”.

“The records provided by the Japanese National Diet corroborate the mass of evidence published Bosefiles.Info to establish beyond all doubt Bose’s tragic death at Taipei on 18 August 1945,” the website said in a statement.

would be hardly much to attempt to question that. However, one of the complaints has been that performing at concerts abroad or being part of the delegation, are being cornered by an exclusive band. In addition, one that has been often heard is whether going abroad to perform with state government money and being guest(s) of some country, could be taken as professional earning?

This was made by several of those who strongly felt that there was need for greater transparency in the entire process and that offering the opportunities only to a handful does not promote others.

KTDSSU dismayed over...

(From p-1) Due to absence of doctors, the union said people of those two areas were facing untold hardships and miseries.

“The people of these areas have to go either Kiphire or elsewhere to get medication for mere illness,” KTDSSU said.

In this regard, the union has appealed to the responsible department to deploy doctors in both the PHCs without any further delay.

Also, stating that building of PHC Sitimi built in 1975 was on the verge of collapse, the Union has urged the responsible department to take necessary steps at the earliest.

It further expressed shock that PHC Seyochung town with no building was presently running in a doctor’s quarter headed by compounder with no ambulance.

KTDSSU has strongly urged the government to provide enough facilities and basic equipments at par with other parts of Nagaland.

The union said it also visited government offices at

Sitimi and Seyochung towns.

It said there was no permanent EAC posted at Sitimi town and demanded the government to depute permanent EAC at Sitimi town. The union also detected some offices that were locked for months and year or so.

KTDSSU has urged officers posted there to remain at the station and cautioned that their absence would not be entertained and stern action would be initiated against those defaulting officers.

Further, the union also cautioned irregular officers, teaching staffs and non-teaching staffs, saying action would be taken against those placing substitutes and proxies.

During its tour, the union said it also interacted with the staffs, village education committee /town education committee chairmen and town health committee/village health committee chairmen.

Meanwhile, KTDSSU has expressed gratitude to GBs, village council chairmen and colleagues for extending cooperation during its tour.

C handi g arh , S ep 8 (Agencies): In more embarrassment for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), former convenor of Punjab’s Ferozepur unit and state committee member Amandeep Kaur has now made a startling claim that 52 women workers from Delhi were sexually exploited by party leaders.

According to Zeenews, while levelling serious allegations, Kaur said, “AAP came to power on the issue of women’s safety in the aftermath of the 2016 Delhi-gang rape case and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had made tall promises to provide security to women. However, the reality is that women are not safe within the party.”

“During a state-level meeting, I was abused too and foul language was used against me. I apprised Delhi Dy CM Manish Sisodia and senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh about the incident, and even staged a dharna outside Kejriwal’s place, but all resulted in vain,” she added. “Out of 52 women, one committed suicide, I will release the list of 51 other victims soon,” she said.

Kaur’s claim can seriously dent party’s image ahead of Punjab Assembly Elections 2017. Fresh allegations against the Arvind Kejriwal-led party members come at a time when a Punjab party Observer Vijay Chauhan and ex-women and child welfare and social welfare minister Sandeep Kumar are already facing serious charges of rape. Kumar was sacked from the council of ministers by Kejriwal after he received a nine-minute-long CD in which Kumar was purportedly shown in a compromising position with a woman.

Economic narrative

t is estimated that 45% of the population in Nagaland are those belonging to the age group 15 to 35 and they cannot wait for ever to get jobs.

Till today, despite several years of expansion of government through bifurcation of departments or creation of new ones, backdoor appointments and also promoting entrepreneurship; unemployment continues to rise. These efforts have proved incapable of absorbing a larger segment among the rising number of unemployed youth in the state. There could be practically over one lakh unemployed youth in the state, by some estimates.

Each year the ranks of unemployment inflate with thousands who come out of colleges or various institutions. The situation has indeed crossed the point of being merely a matter of serious concern.

There are many graduates, some specialized in a particular field and also a good number of post graduates and they cannot find employment. The investment made to graduate or even to obtain higher learning has been in vain. Unemployment is a serious issue and no sacrifice is enough to ensure that the upcoming generation are not pushed to the sidelines and even compelled to take up unlawful activities. Many youths have been inspired by the economic visions spoken of and seek to be active participants. Imparting skills that are honed in for employment may not be the cure for the ailment.

Unless something tangible is done to address this issue, the consequences on society can only be imagined. More jobs are needed but there isn’t any. To add to the problem, the state’s economy is on unsure ground, no industries and restricted opportunities for investments in private enterprises owing to the feeling of insecurity. There is hardly any scope of enough vacancies either on superannuation or creation of new posts in the state government. Nagaland like any other state, particularly those which have not established a sound economic foundation, are facing a serious problem over the issue of providing jobs to the educated youth. The only viable economic activity is for tapping huge resources from oil operations. However, till the oil issue is resolved, the practical aspect is to evolve a sustainable economy is agro-industrial which , has been retarded and eventually consigned to unstable ground due to frequent changes of ‘vision’. This field would not only benefit the state financially but also provide the much needed quantum job opportunities for many thousands of youths with self-employment avenues. However, the chief architect of economic stagnation(in addition to inefficient services of the government ) comes from a combination of factors resulting in social problems created by the enlarging cycle which result in an unhealthy climate for investments. While Nagaland harbors an economic vision as announced by various chief ministers, the rails of economic progress are uneven when the visions are impracticable and when the delivery is blocked by lack of good governance . Good governance is needed to effectively enforce the rule of law and tackle lawless elements spreading their tentacles because of disinclination of the authorities to crack the whip . Merely having an economic vision without taking into account all aspects of society and environment and without goal setting will only turn into a futile attempt. This has been the case and will remain unless there is a will to make a turnaround.

DailyDevotion Do It Yourself (1) …casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God… —2 Corinthians 10:5 Determinedly Demolish Some Things. Deliverance from sin is not the same as deliverance from human nature. There are things in human nature, such as prejudices, that the saint can only destroy through sheer neglect. But there are other things that have to be destroyed through violence, that is, through God’s divine strength imparted by His Spirit. There are some things over which we are not to fight, but only to “stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord…” (see Exodus 14:13). But every theory or thought that raises itself up as a fortified barrier “against the knowledge of God” is to be determinedly demolished by drawing on God’s power, not through human effort or by compromise (see 2 Corinthians 10:4).

It is only when God has transformed our nature and we have entered into the experience of sanctification that the fight begins. The warfare is not against sin; we can never fight against sin— Jesus Christ conquered that in His redemption of us. The conflict is waged over turning our natural life into a spiritual life. This is never done easily, nor does God intend that it be so. It is accomplished only through a series of moral choices. God does not make us holy in the sense that He makes our character holy. He makes us holy in the sense that He has made us innocent before Him. And then we have to turn that innocence into holy character through the moral choices we make. These choices are continually opposed and hostile to the things of our natural life which have become so deeply entrenched— the very things that raise themselves up as fortified barriers “against the knowledge of God.” We can either turn back, making ourselves of no value to the kingdom of God, or we can determinedly demolish these things, allowing Jesus to bring another son to glory (see Hebrews 2:10).

A provisional diagnosis

s Nagaland really a dry state?

YES! It is indeed economically and geographically speaking.

But, referring to alcohol, NO! It is indeed flooded with that. One has to closed eyes tightly to proclaim that.

Mineral bottles turn to alcohol after 6 pm. As a saying goes, “the eye cannot see what the mind doesn’t know”, in our context, the eye is not seen as the mind is not allowing it to see, black googols can be a contributory factor to this poor visual problem. Hey! Let us try to be more specific in this grave matter.

Here is my provisional diagnosis. Nagaland has become a dumping ground for all kind of adulterated products. The root cause of all these is the policy and imposition of total prohibition directly or indirectly, by pushing this white business to underworld, giving undue advantages to public by opening doors to various illegal practices, beside adulterate alcohol, like fuel, milk and its products, fruits and vegetables, meat and fishes, drugs and cosmetics so on and so forth. This is because the need for license, registration, age bar, designated shops having named etc. does not arise and can do away with. Risk taking is the only qualification require for these businesses. But I guess, they (public) knew they are save knowing that the policy has brought the entire department concern under government and nongovernmental department to a standstill, as the need for quality testing does not arise when there is no sample to do the testing (remember, Dry state), this mind set and approach has paralysed the whole system there by killing us. Only a sincere, none bias data or statistical reports can prove me wrong, I guess there will not be any.

With the recently publish in the local papers, a tanker carrying 20000 litres of solvent heading to Manipur has been ceased in Nagaland, on inquiry, we came to learned that this is meant for alcohol adulteration, also it has been practicing for the past five years, who knows, perhaps much longer. With the declaration of the European Commission that 75% of the global cases of Spurious/ Falsely- labelled/ falsified/counterfeit (SFFC) medicines originate from India, like Israel, in a way, we are surrounded by people of other faith, believes and intention, the Christian can never expect, accept or even understand. Their success in business by whatever mean is their goal and heaven.

But this Israel is becoming more like Egypt by our own thoughtless, selfish way of life by their influences (sweet and persistence way dealing) now even capturing all the after 6 pm Shops. Will God send other Mosses to come and deliver us from this muddy pool again? It may not happen so, but I do believe that we just have to realise, step out and be free.

Little bit of myself, I hope I am not been taken otherwise or misunderstood. I am a Christian, lukewarm, backslidden, whatever you may call, I am all that, barely surviving by His mercy and grace

without any output in return. I am (more so for Muslim) not at all encouraging the sale or consumption of alcohol, rather 100% against it.

But my concern is that, in my observation, this policy is encouraging methanol (methyl alcohol) and discouraging ethanol (ethyl alcohol).

Medically, ethanol has negligible adverse effect on us when taken in moderation, whereas methanol and other cheaper substance used in alcohol adulteration has deleterious effect on us. I do not have the ability to speak, write or even think loudly but with the genuine zeal for the betterment of society, sharing few thoughts with this humble righting, knowing that everyone has a role and every role is important for the system to function optimally.

This is a debatable issue, I do not meant it for debate, the time is running out; the hour has come for us to take action before another precious life is lost untimely.

It is not the time to pinpointing at each other (Luke 6:37). I am not interested in knowing who is responsible? What and why have they done this? Rather my interest is in knowing what is really going on? What impact are we receiving from this policy? Is this policy doing more harm than good to our society? If so, why are we taking so long to rectify or get away with it?

How do we go about then?

It is a serious matter more than we thought, the magnitude of peoples’ suffering in our neighbouring state in terms of life and properties losses from the flood, attracting national and international attention is no where comparable to our situation which is flooded with spurious/adulterated /substandard/ sub branded/ counterfeit products for several years. Is it because we are good people that we are enduring all these silently? I guess not, either we are ignorant or lazy or both we have no record to report to the media, hence, no national or international awareness to our problem.

It is mandatory to call patient for review if treatments is given on provisional diagnosis to see that it is working, and if not, always resort to further investigation to find out the actual/ final diagnosis. No more shotgun (combination of antibiotics) treatment for the second time.

The same method can be applied here; question is, whether we have expert or sophisticated equipments to detect the actual reasons. One cannot be so irresponsible for what has been started, more so for this matter imposing to the whole population and not paying hit to it for more than two and a half decades.

Congratulate to Bihar state for a kick off start again. I would say they are more meticulous in their approach by taking into consideration, along with the total prohibition other reinforcing laws like 5 to 10 years imprisonment, after all they have learned from other states’ experiences. But, with the recent incidence of people died following consumption of spurious alcohol in Bihar, I am still very sarcastic about the outcome. So far, only three states have actually taken such extreme step. State

Personal view of 33% reservation for women

(From previous issue) But make no mistake. Electoral democracy literally has no democracy in it in Nagaland’s perspective. It is a total sham but we are compelled to live with it. Womenfolk daring to wade through in these dirty waters of politics may have telling effects in some ways including the domestic front and may even end up in catastrophe. Perhaps the Naga Hoho’s “premature” refer to this? Otherwise I don’t see any other premature.

I am nobody to dissuade womenfolk from joining the fray. It is always open to both men and women all over the democratic world. And I am no male chauvinist. Of all the people on earth I love my wife the most and she is a woman.

Likewise, I loved my mother too who was also a woman.

Man and woman are the two sides of the same coin. Only the heads and tails are of different pictures. Likewise there are certain things where male can do better and vice versa.

BUT electioneering is, by no means a child’s play, and more so in Nagaland context. It is not the democracy you find in political science textbooks. Free and fair, they say. Free, maybe (in other connotation) but far from being fair. In Nagaland, it is all about money and muscle power. Of course, you’ll have to start with lots of ground works, strategies and calculations. But

in reality it starts like a cold war and ends up in a battlefield (of ballot box).

But there are more to it than just that in-between but I feel uncomfortable to put it all in writing for obvious reasons.

They say all’s fair in war, and election is a war as far as Nagaland is concerned. Candidates will put every conceivable method to win his war. Illegality and immorality have just been wiped out from their dictionary.

Except for the historic, giant-killing move of Mrs Rano Shaiza in the state’s lone Lok Sabha polls long ago, no woman has come forward to the political chessboard of Nagaland.

A few women have dabbled at the hustings but returned only with ‘”almost even those were” or “nearly” results. But I thought even those were good enough signs considering the circumstances. Don’t make that bygone Lok Sabha poll the beginning and the end of it. And just don’t think about treading backward again but follow the trailblazer.

If the present government cannot formulate an alternative solution out from their magic lamp I don’t think that 33% reservation would be good enough as it will have flaws in its practicalities. Time is running out so why not just join to be at par with the male chauvinistic pigs.

(Concluded) M S Longkumer, Mokokchung

like Gujarat (PM own state) has desperately failed, one can say by observation the free flow availability of alcohol, import and export in and through their land despite been warned dead penalty if found guilty. Another state, Mizoram has helplessly resort to alternative, we all know. Do not mess up things.

Let the religious matter be kept sacred, avoid so much indulging with politics and business. Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is god’s (matt 22:21).

It is so plain and simple when we allow the bible to speak what it is saying, when we try to interpret it to suit our purpose it becomes confuse and complex. This is my experience as a Christian and as a doctor. All indications for abortion under MTP Act, is applicable and possible by laws, as a doctor, but not all indication are permissible as a Christian. Law is for justice and but not vice- versa, law is not consistent and can be manipulated.

“Let the truth and justice prevail above laws”. I do not believe that life begin with the beating of the heart, approximately at 21 days after conception or at birth etc.

Why not at Conception? I cannot force someone to go for absorption neither one cannot force me to conduct abortion despite with the good reasons. It is purely an individual decision and matter, consent therefore is always needed for any procedure. I cannot imposed my ideas, faith or believe on others, it is a personal decision, God has given this will to everyone to decide their own fate, we cannot force someone to go to heaven or hell. We can only share our views, compelled/ impress them by our non-judgemental and exemplary way of life, making awareness by our living not by imposing. We Learned a lesson from HIV/AIDS control programme, how their logos has changed from imposition to relaxation, to start with “ say no to drugs”, “ No sex before marriage”... to... “ No sharing of needles” “ be faithful to one partner” finally resort to adopt “free distribution of condoms” and “free exchange of syringe programme”. Again, If this imposition of total banned on alcohol is base on religion point of view, what difference is there in our approach with that of ISIS except by degree of torture, “Give some space for those who determined to go to hell, for this is their heaven”, Pardon me for being a bit harsh and straight, but more than majority of people whom I have encountered agree to disagree the imposition.

This is a world of relativity not absolute. On the other hand, if we have so much concern to the extent of imposition total banned, how can we let these goes on for this long in observation without taking a serious note on its consequences?

Vikram Patel, a well known public health expert said, “, Prohibition of substances which give pleasure to people does not work” “addiction is a health problem, not of moral one, and there are many proven strategies which can reduce its burden. The desire to address the serious social problem cause by a minority of those who consume al-

Rejoinder by NNC GDRN

cohol by prohibition is a travesty of the experience of history and public science. Prohibition is rejected by most public health scientist who knows this field, even the world health Organisation (WHO) does not recommend it.”

Prescribing generic drug by medical doctors as per the order is not going to make any difference, adulteration is in both generic as well as branded medicines, in fact, this can encourage the corruption by opening the door for the pharmacy to give any company’s products of their choice. Who will be responsible if they are tight up with some ungenuine one and who will check this sincerely? Only way is to restrict and reduce the entry of companies to that extend we can manage to check within our capacity, if we cannot check do not allow them.

Knowledge explosion is a sign of the end time (Daniel 12:4) but with more knowledge, more confusion has come which is also the end sign. I guess, this alone shows we are really at the verge.

With this, let me conclude by giving few opinion base suggestion of my concern.

1. Rectify or lift the total prohibition if found necessary.

2. Equip the department concern with updated testing machine and expert, start working towards quality testing and restrict or reduce the manufacturing companies to the extent we can check them. Gather knowledge from Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), International medical products anti-counterfeiting taskforce of World Health Organization (WHO-IMPACT) and stop the spurious/falsely-labelled/falsified/ counterfeit (SFFC) drugs, Not of Standard Quality (NSQ), etc.

3. Do not take negative advantages over the policy but play our role well for the system. Start our home work to unearth all the secret things that is killing us by giving sincere, nonbiased, factual records and statistical report for the government to implement the right policy.

4. Entrepreneurship can take up initiative in some project, a diploma course on value added products in food and vegetables etc. may be helpful.

5. Council like NMC, NPC etc. Department like drugs and cosmetics, food, supplies and consumer affairs, statistical department etc. to take sincere initiatives, the public health is in your hand.

They need the pharmacist, not his registration certificated paper, need the doctor not his designation and posting. In our context, availability is more important than ability is very relevant.

6. Universities scholars can take up clinical or public health research on the effect and impact of spurious/ adulterated products in the state.

7. Government to set up a committee to start with and be little generous towards various project to bring about solution on this matter.

May be.

Danger of confusing Naga issue with non – issue

Reader’s Post

T

his is in reference to the news report appeating in your esteemed dailies highlighting that the Naga civil societies are demanding withdrawal of AFSPA from Nagaland without stating any reason. Here it may be pointed out that to demand withdrawal of the AFSPA without first restoring unity among the Naga groups, will be inviting fratricidal war among our people like in the headhunting days as all are armed to the teeth. Historically, it was the failure of the Government of India to fulfil its commitments and thereby emanates the Indo-Naga conflict, which is the cause for the emergence of so many opposing factions in Nagaland. And if the Government of India acknowledge this historical truth and fulfil its promises made to the NNC there would be no reason to impose AFSPA in Nagaland and there will be no Indo-Naga conflict. We must also understand that past records have clearly shown that the Government of India never intended to integrate the Nagas to be in India as a whole but in pieces.

Therefore all the Nagas people both overground and the underground national workers should stand united and demand what the Government of India had already committed to the Naga people in the 9 points Agreement of 1947 in order to settle the Naga issue. This is what Shri A. A. Phizo the father of Naga Nation had wisely suggested to the then Governor General of India Sri Rajagopalachari in 1948 stating that “ if my people had not taken to other route, the settlement of the Naga issue, I believe, should be based on Governor’s Ten Years Agreement (which resulted in the famous 9 points Agreement) and that settlement should not be to the people but of the land which belongs to the Nagas” In view of the above let us stop mixing the real Naga issue with Non-Issue but rather let us agree together and demand what is our right and settle the Naga issue in the line with the prophetic suggestion of the father of the Naga nation.

he NNC/GDRN(Non-Accord) is constraint to issued this statement basing on the fact activities carried out by Mr. Kiumukam Yimchunger, otherwise the impeachment was not done in the individual capacity but in the interest of GDRN government and the Nagas. Eversince the inception of the NNC(Non-Accord), Mr. Kiumukam Yimchunger has been playing dirty politics among the fellow national workers, lies after lies in every directions he steps, which lead to the division and give birth to many new Naga political groups such as NNC(Parent body),NNC(NPGN), NNC(PRN) etc. Unfortunately, he was arrested by Indian army at his rented house on 29th Aug.2016 alone with his personal bodyguard driver, 5% demand note to railway contractors, demand letter to advisors DUDA and Women Development etc therefore he was booked under Indian panel code (IPC) 385(putting person in fear of injury in order to commit extortion- whoever in order to committing of extortion, puts any person in fear or any injury) and IPC. 120B (whoever is a party to a criminal conspiracy with death), R/W-7 NSR’62(Extortion with arms) and was released out on 5th sept.2016.

The NNC/GDRN(Non-Accord) convened an emergency national hoho on 6th sept. headed by Hon’ble Ato kilonser but he was hidden from govt. and exile himself. The NNC/ GDRN(Non-Accord)too have an allegation against him for misused of power and misused of govt.treasurey.

In sept.2015 Rs 1,20,000(one lac twenty thousand was transfer into his account which was meant for govt. developmental work, but till date the govt.is yet to received the records even after the lapse of a year. To mention a few, he took one 12 bore gun from gun house union, He took money from FCI suppliers, Godrej company, Amar mill, Rs.150000 from DUDA (on the advice of extortion President)apart from his monthly honorium Rs.46000 (forty six thousand)(documentary proof available for verification in NNC/GDRN (Non-Accord) office)and many more to come up. Therefore, he was impeached from Presidentship through democratic means.

On sept.7th some NNPG leader called upon our Hon’ble Ato kilonser and appeal for reconciliation and also YTC appeal not approached to media as they were trying their best to settle the difference. So the NNC/GDRN(NonAccord) abide by the appeal by NNPG leader and YTC. But Mr.Kiumukam Yimchunger with his fellow public issued the statement claiming themselves as so called MIP GDRN/NNC N/A terminating Hon’ble kilo kilonser which is totally baseless. Therefore, the NNC/GDRN(Non-Accord) request Mr. Kiumukam Yimchunger to come out clearly to this following points if he claim himself as legitimate Naga leader, when did you appointed other MIP other than existing MIP? When you attended meeting after releasing from jail?How can a mere public terminate the Nation worker?

In the above statement, it is the civil societies, Naga political leaders, Intellectuals to judge who is right.

Many NGOs, civil societies, intellectuals raise out their resentment against extortion, corruption, and anti-social element, but when we impeached extortionist, corrupted leader in our govt, why many were silent on this issue.

MIP NNC/GDRN (Non-Accord)

Sir,

Open letter to Governor of Nagaland

The All Nagaland Social Welfare Field Staff Employee Association (ANSWFSEA) comprising of Supervisors and equivalent cadre under Social Welfare Department, Nagaland is constrained to bring to your notice the incongruity in the service matter mentioned below.

All though, there are only 60 sanctioned ICDS Projects in Nagaland, presently there are 63 CDPOs in the department and despite of objection by the association over those unsanctioned posts of CDPO who are appointed on contract/backdoor flouting every service rule, the department had somehow placed those CDPOs for regularisation seeking cabinet approval.

Therefore, the association implore upon your concern authority to prompt necessary enquiry into the matter.

Benjamin Sema, President ANSWFSEA & Chotangse Anar, General Secretary ANSWFSEA

US supports India’s NSG bid: Obama tells Modi China to probe airlines’ racial remarks

Pakistan accuses India of ‘financing terror’ Islamabad, Sep 8 (IANS): Pakistan on Thursday accused India of “financing terrorism” on its soil, saying “open evidence is available of India’s involvement in subversive activities”.

The statement comes days after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in an obvious reference to Pakistan at the G20 Summit, said “One single nation in South Asia is spreading agents of terror in countries of our region”.

Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria, hitting back at Modi’s statement, said: “India is in fact that single nation.”

Zakaria said the confessional statement by arrested alleged Indian intelligence agent Kulbhushan Jadhav had “made it clear which country was spreading terrorism”.

Asked if Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would raise the issue of Jadhav at the upcoming UN General Assembly, the spokesman said: “The issue of Indian involvement will definitely be highlighted.

“The issue will be raised because of its direct links with incidents of terrorism in Pakistan,” he said.

38 dead, 92,000 left homeless by Niger floods

Niamey, Sep 8 (PTI): At least 38 people have been killed and more than 92,000 left homeless since June in disastrous floods in Niger, the United Nations have said.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said the deaths, up from a previous government toll of 14, followed torrential rains in August. More than 26,000 livestock have been lost and more than 9,000 homes destroyed, the UN said, citing government figures. Authorities and NGOs have already given out aid to more than 50,000 people, the UN added, with many of the homeless sheltering in schools and public buildings.

Despite being in the middle of the desert, Agadez in the north and Tahoua to the west are among the worst hit regions, along with Maradi in the south. Niger is in the midst of its annual rainy season, having struggled to overcome a severe food crisis caused by drought. One of the poorest countries on the planet, its authorities are also struggling with 300,000 refugees and internally displaced people who have fled the Boko Haram insurgency in Niger’s southeast and in neighbouring Nigeria.

Both leaders reviewed the immediate priorities in the strategic partnership. They discussed climate change issues and energy cooperation.

The two leaders also reviewed progress on Indo-US collaboration in nuclear energy, solar energy and innovation, the sources said. “President Obama thanked Prime Minister Modi for his cooperation on a broad range of global and bilateral

issues and commended Prime Minister Modi’s leadership in addressing the urgent threats posed by climate change,” the White House official said.

“The leaders noted our joint commitment, fulfilled by the United States in advance of the G20 Leaders’ Summit, to join the Paris Agreement this year as well as our resolve to adopt an ambitious HFC amendment to the Montreal Protocol this year,” the official added. The meeting was “very warm and friendly”, sources said. Modi praised President

Obama for his contribution to the relationship and the growing trust between the two countries.

He also invited the US President to visit India after demitting office to which Obama said he would welcome any opportunity to visit India.

On a lighter note, Obama said he and his wife Michelle were yet to see the Taj Mahal.

Last year, Obama had cancelled a planned trip to the Taj Mahal, cutting short his visit to India to travel to Saudi Arabia following King Abdullah’s death.

Barack Obama

Vientiane, Sep 8 (PTI): The US “strongly supports” India’s NSG membership bid, President Barack Obama today told Prime Minister Narendra Modi here as they discussed the immediate priorities in the strategic partnership, including deepening the civil nuclear cooperation and combating climate change.

“Had a great discussion with President of the US (POTUS) on India-USA relations,” Modi tweeted after his meeting with Obama on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit here, their eighth in the last two years.

A White House official, giving details of the meeting, said, “Reaffirming the strong bonds of friendship between

the United States and India, the President underscored that the United States strongly supports India’s membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).”

The US has been playing a lead role in supporting India’s bid in the 48-member elite group. China had scuttled New Delhi’s bid at the Plenary Session of NSG in June.

The two leaders reaffirmed the importance of the deepening partnership between the US and India and the value of their shared engagement in the region, including through the East Asia Summit, the official said. “President Obama praised Prime Minister Modi’s initiatives to reform the Indian economy. In particular, the US President expressed confidence that the passage of GST will unleash significant economic activity,” sources said.

n the first official photo for Sherlock season four, we saw that the modern detective (Benedict Cumberbatch) made a new friend. It may have left some wondering, is Sherlock friendless now that his partner-in-crimefighting Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) is married and expecting a baby? Rest assured, Watson has not been replaced. At least, not entirely. The new photo doesn’t give too many clues, but it is nice to see them back at it.

One thing that does stand out is Watson’s head turned away from Sherlock. It makes us wonder: is he looking away because he’s miffed, which wouldn’t be a huge shock, or is he looking at something?The BBC “Sherlock Season 4” premiere will bring in the “ghost” of Jim Moriarty, James Holmes, Mary and John Watson, Mrs Hudson (Una Stubbs) and star Benedict Cumberbatch on January 2017.

Rio Paralympics kick off with music and colour

New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS): The third One-Day International (ODI) between India and New Zealand, scheduled to be held on October 19 at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium here, was on Thursday postponed by a day due to the Karva Chauth festival.

Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) vice president C.K. Khanna confirmed the development.

DDCA requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to push the match behind by a day and the national governing body accepted the request.

“I requested BCCI to postpone the match due to Karva Chauth which was agreed. Now instead of October 19 the match will take place on October 20,” C.K. Khanna told IANS on Thursday.

DDCA has written a letter to BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke informing him about the difficulties in organising the match on the day of a festival popular in North India.

DDCA expected ticket sales to be significantly low if the match went ahead as per the earlier schedule.

Providing security would also have been an issue as the police would have been busy with managing the festive pressure during the one-day traditional festival observed by women.

New Zealand are scheduled to play three Tests and five ODIs. The first Test begins on September 22 in Kanpur. The first ODI is on October 16 in Dharamsala.

Ferozeshah Kotla will also host a warm-up fixture for New Zealand when the visitors take on Board President’s XI from September 16-18.

Rio de Janeiro, Sep 8 (IANS): The opening ceremony of the first Paralympics on South American soil was a tropical celebration full of colours and Samba music, filling the famous Maracana Stadium for almost four hours in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

The ceremony on Wednesday began with a video which starred Philip Craven, a British wheelchair athlete who competed in five Paralympic games from 1972 to 1988.

He later waved from one of the stands as the president of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), reports Efe. Aaron Wheelz, an American wheelchair athlete, delighted the audience with an impressive jump from a steep ramp on one of the highest stands of the stadium.

After that moment, music took a leading role.

With rhythms such as Samba,

Tropical and Bossa Nova, performances with colours, lights and sounds illuminated the night here.

With a single piano, the maestro Joao Carlos Martins was in charge of adding music to the anthem of Brazil and the hoisting of the flag of the country.

Then, one by one, representatives from the 164 participating countries paraded around the stadium, including Ibrahim Al Hussein, a Syrian refugee who joins the Paralympics as an independent athlete.

The entrance of the Brazilian team, the last one in the parade, led the audience to rejoice and completed the unfinished heart-shaped puzzle on the stadium floor, illuminating a metaphor of life.

That moment was the prelude to the official speech from Carlos Arthur Nuzman, president of the organising committee for the Rio 2016

“Dipa Karmakar must be appointed as sports ambassador of India. We would raise the issue in the winter session of Parliament begin-

ning from November 9,” Prasun Banerjee told reporters at the felicitation function. “’Golden girl’ of India Dipa should be chosen as the brand ambassador of Indian sports for her incredible success in Indian gymnastics, without any proper infrastructure and with her personal initiative and zeal along with her coach,” said Banerjee, who had represented India at the Asian Games thrice and also captained the country’s national team on a number of occasions.

Banerjee, who is the brother of legendary footballer P.K. Banerjee, said that it is unfortunate that even after 70 years of India’s Independence the country has no sports policy.

Advani has already been conferred with a Padma Shri (2009), Khel Ratna (2005-06) and Arjuna

Award (2004).

The Padma awards are given for distinguished and exceptional achievements, service in fields such as art, literature and education, sports, medicine, social work, science and engineering, public affairs, civil service, trade and industry.

Last date for receipt of the nominations for the Padma awards is 15 September, according to a notification issued by the Home Ministry.

The nominations/recommendations are placed before the awards committee, constituted by the Prime Minister.

The winners will be announced on the eve of Republic Day.
