Ayodhya dispute
SC calls for
out-of-court
settlement
NEW DELHI, March 21:
The Supreme Court today
suggested an out-of-court
settlement of the lingering
Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri
Masjid land dispute at Ayo-
dhya, observing that issues
of religion and senti-
ments can be best re-
solved through talks.
Chief Justice JS Khehar also
offered to mediate even as the
bench headed by him suggest-
ed that the parties to the dis-
pute adopt a give a bit and
take a bit approach for a mean-
ingful and sincere negotiations
to resolve the vexatious issue.
The Lucknow bench of Alla-
habad High Court, in 2010, had
ruled for a three-way division
of the disputed 2.77 acres area
at the site in Uttar Pradesh.
The three-judge bench, by
a majority of 2:1, had said the
land be partitioned equally
among three parties, Sunni
Waqf Board, Nirmohi Akhara
and the Ram Lalla (nascent
Lord Ram).
Theme song of Namami
Brahmaputra released
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, March 21: The theme song of the Namami
Brahmaputra, a mega event being organised by Assam Gov-
ernment to offer collective gratitude to the mighty river,
was launched by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today.
The programme, held at the Madhab Deb Auditorium of
Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra here, was attended among
others singer Angaraag Mahanta (Papon), Transport Min-
ister Chandra Mohan Patowary, Chief Secretary Vinod Ku-
mar Pipersenia and DGP Mukesh Sahay.
The apex court said that such
religious issues can be best re-
solved through negotiations.
These are issues of religion
and sentiments. These are is-
sues where all the parties can
sit together and arrive at a
consensual decision to end the
dispute. These issues are best
decided jointly. All of you may
sit together and hold a cordial
meeting, the bench, also
comprising Justices DY Chan-
drachud and SK Kaul, said.
The observations were
made after BJP leader Subra-
manian Swamy mentioned the
matter seeking urgent hear-
ing, saying that it has been
over six years after the High
Court decided the civil appeal
and that it needed to be heard
at the earliest.
The BJP Parliamentarian
told the court that he had ap-
proached the Muslim commu-
nity members who favoured
judicial decision in the conten-
tious matter.

Centre for fundamental My govt will work

changes in govt workforce for all, says UP
NEW DELHI, March 21:
The Centre has favoured fun-
damental changes in manage-
ment of government employ-
ees for a competent and well-
functioning administrative
structure to ensure citizen-
centric governance.
The Ministry of Personnel
has written to Collectors and
Magistrates of all districts
across the country seeking
details of challenges being
faced by them and to maxim-
ising their potential.
Changing economic and
social milieu and the increas-
ing awareness and rising ex-
pectations of the people de-
mands a paradigm shift in the
concept of governance. The
introduction of new regula-
tions, technologies and in-
Suspected Khalistani
terrorist held in Delhi
NEW DELHI, March 21: A
suspected member of the Kha-
listan Commando Force, alleg-
edly involved in over 50 cases of
terrorist activities, murder and
dacoity, was arrested in the na-
tional capital, police said today.
Gursewak Singh alias Babla
(51) was allegedly trying to col-
lect funds to revive the KCF and
was in touch with gangs in Del-
hi with a plan to commit bank
robberies, they added.
He was arrested yesterday
from National Highway 8 at
Mahipalpur and a sophisticat-
ed pistol, loaded with four car-
tridges, was seized from his
possession, police said.
Gursewak was an associate of
Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale who
was killed during the armys
Operation Blue Star in 1984.
He was planning to revive

creasing focus on the citizen
centricity in governance calls
for changes in the existing
governance processes, policy
framework, manpower and
skill requirement etc, said a
background paper, released by
the Ministry seeking sugges-
tions from the District Col-
lectors (DCs)/ District Mag-
istrates (DMs).
It is imperative, therefore,
to build a competent and well-
functioning administrative
structure that is geared to
adapt with the changing envi-
ronment. To enable this, fun-
damental changes are called
for in human capital manage-
ment, it said.
It is understood that a
number of challenges are cur-
rently being faced across the
the banned outfit on instruc-
tions of KCF chief Paramjeet
Singh Panjwad, who is current-
ly in Pakistan, and was in touch
with Jagtaar Singh Hawara and
other militants lodged in Indi-
an jails, said Joint Commission-
er of Police (Crime) Praveer
Ranjan.
Gursewak had twice man-
aged to run away from the cus-
tody of police, once in Delhi and
once in Rajasthan, he added.
In the 1980s, Gursewak was
involved in over 50 cases of
terrorist activities, murders of
police officials and informers,
bank and police station dacoi-
ties etc. In Punjab, Delhi, Ra-
jasthan and Madhya Pradesh,

brother Swaran Singh was a

life-cycle of human capital
management in government.
The recruitment of staff
has not been in sync with the
growing and changing work.
This has also resulted in an
ageing workforce, the paper
reads.
The skill standards/bench-
marks for recruitment need
to be reviewed considering
new ways of working and new
technologies being put to use.
Focus also needs to be brought
on continuous learning of the
workforce and acquisition of
new skill sets, it said.
Another challenge per-
tains to addressing reluctance
to accept the changes in con-
trol, accountability and al-
tered roles and responsibili-
ties. PTI

The Supreme Court today said
it will commence on July 11 the
final hearing of the appeals filed
by Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and

of the Cauvery Water Dispute
Tribunal (CWDT) on sharing of
water for 15 consecutive work-
ings days.

will continue to be in force till

Appearing for Tamil Nadu,
senior advocate Shekhar
Naphade alleged that Kerala is
drawing water in excess of
what has been allocated to it by
the tribunal to build check dams
across inter-state Bhavani riv-
er, which is a tributary of Cau-
very, for its irrigation project.
He said if the check dams
were built by Kerala across the
Bhavani river, it will affect the
flow of water to Tamil Nadu
with its western part facing
shortages for irrigation and
meeting drinking water re-
quirements.
The allegations were denied
by counsel for Kerala who said
the state is not using the Cau-
very water to build the dam or
the irrigation project. The coun-
sel said that the height of dam
will be at the optimum level and
would not hinder the flow of
water from the river. PTI

Bangladesh to put ex-Pak Army
officer on trial for 1971 war crimes
DHAKA, March 21: A
Bengali Army officer, who
sided with the Pakistani forces
during the 1971 Bangladesh
Liberation War, will be put on
trial for committing crimes
against humanity, becoming the
first Pakistani Army officer to
face the charges.
Coordinator of a special in-
vestigation cell on war crimes
Mohammad Abdul Hannan to-
day said that the International
Crimes Tribunal (ICT) final-
ised its investigation report on
accused 75-year-old ex-Paki-
stani Army Captain
Mohammad Shahidullah.
We found his involvement
in crimes like murder, confine-
ment, torture and looting,
Trumps daughter gets White House office
WASHINGTON, March 21:
President Donald Trumps
high- profile daughter Ivanka
has been given an office at the
White House and she will also
have access to classified infor-
mation, according to an admin-
istration official.
Ivanka's role will be to serve
as Trumps eyes and ears
while providing broad-ranging
advice to the US President,
her attorney was quoted as works in the West Wing the
saying by Politico.
But she will not have an offi-
cial title or salary when she media reports that the 35-
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen waves as she boards the Hai Lung-class submarine (SS-794) at
a navy base in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on Tuesday. UNI
China overtakes Japan in S Koreas
least favoured nations list
SEOUL, March 21: The row
between Seoul and Beijing over
the deployment of a US missile
defence system has seen China
overtake even former coloniser
Japan in the ranking of South
Koreans least favoured coun-
tries, a survey shows.
Japan has consistently been
Southerners most disliked coun-
try after North Korea, mainly
due to disputes over Tokyos
wartime atrocities including the
use of up to 200,000 Korean
women as sexual slaves for Japa-
nese troops.
But now South Korea and the
US have begun deploying the
Terminal High Altitude Area
Defence (THAAD) system to
guard against missile threats
from the nuclear-armed North,

Close shave for plane passengers
JUBA, March 21: All passen-
gers and crew have survived a
plane crash in South Sudan in
which the jet hit a fire truck on
the runway before bursting
into flames.
There is no one who died,
Bona Gaudensio, Information
Minister in the northwestern
state of Wau where the acci-
dent happened, said today. He
said 37 people had been
treated for injuries in hospital
but, miraculously, no one was
killed despite a fireball con-
suming the plane soon after it
crash-landed.
Wau is a regional capital with
a busy airport used by the
Hannan told reporters.
The ICT, during its investi-
gation that continued from Oc-
tober 11, 2015 to March 20,
2017, could primarily prove
three counts of charges against
Shahidullah who has been in
jail since his arrest on August
2, 2016.
He was posted in West Pa-
kistan and on leave at his
home... He reported to duty
at Dhaka cantonment as the
war broke out and (subse-
quently) committed mon-
strous crimes in Comilla dis-
trict as he was transferred
there, Hannan said.
Shahidullah is the first
Bengali ex-Army officer to be
put on trial for crimes against
Ivanka Trump
hub of US executive power.
The official also confirmed
bilities.
Beijing launched a series of
measures against the South,
seen as economic retaliation,
forcing dozens of South Korean
retail stores in China to shut their
doors and banning Chinese tour
groups from visiting.
Chinas rating in an opinion poll
by the Asan Institute for Policy
Studies slumped from 4.31 in
January to 3.21 in March, on a 0-
10 scale, with 10 representing
the most favourable.
Japans number also fell amid
a diplomatic row over the com-
fort women issue, from 3.56 to
3.33. A drop in the Chinese fig-
ure was expected given Beijings
response to THAAD but the
sharp decline was surprising,
Asan said in a statement today.
Even more surprising is that
Koreans are now more favour-
United Nations and aid agen-
cies as well as private and com-
mercial planes.
The remains of older air
crashes lie in the long grass
next to the runway.
The plane hit a fire brigade
truck, that is how it caught
fire, said Gaudensio. He sug-
gested that both a technical
problem and some negli-
gence might be to blame and
added that an investigation
would be carried out. Bad
weather has also been blamed
for the accident.
Pascal Ladu of the South Su-
dan Red Cross said that after
the plane operated by local
humanity, but investigations
were under way against sev-
eral other Bengali Army offic-
ers who took part in atrocities
as members of the Pakistan
Army in 1971.
Bangladesh launched the be-
lated process of trying 1971
war criminals in 2010 while all
those who were tried until
now are civilians and mostly
belonged to fundamentalist
Jamaat-e-Islami, which was
opposed to the independence.
Six 1971 war crimes con-
victs, including five Jamaat
leaders and one from the
former Prime Minister
Khaleda Zias Bangladesh Na-
tionalist Party, have been ex-
ecuted so far.

who has her own fashion
brand, will be joining her hus-
band Jared Kushner, a real es-
tate developer, who is a sen-
ior adviser to the President.
Ivanka Trump runs a fash-
ion line named after her. But
in an attempt to avoid conflicts
of interests, she has handed
day-to-day management of the
firm to her top executive,
Abigail Klem, and has also set
up a trust to provide oversight.
The couples reported influ-
able towards Japan (3.33) than

Trump, Chinese President Xi
Jinping and Japanese Prime Min-
ister Shinzo Abe all declining, but
Xis falling the most, plunging
from 4.25 in January to 3.01 in
March. The only good news for
President Xi was that his rating
remained higher than Prime
Minister Abes, Asan said.
The survey of 1000 adults car-

Anomalies in
Housing Board
allotments alleged
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, March 21:
The Greater Guwahati Ten-
ants Rights Protection Com-
mittee has demanded a probe
into the alleged anomalies and
corruption under the previous
Congress government in allot-
ting houses under the Assam
Housing Board.
In a statement, it said a large
number of people were allotted
houses in gross violation of
norms during the Congress rule
since its first term in 2001.
Moreover, many of the occu-
pants in Housing Board resi-
dences later constructed their
own homes and have been rent-
ing out their Housing Board ac-
commodations to others, it said.
The committee demanded
that the State government im-
mediately probe the matter
and take action against the
guilty, besides evicting the non-
eligible occupants from the
Housing Board flats.

GUWAHATI, March 21:

The extended state commit-
tee meeting of UCO Bank
Employees Association
(North Eastern States Coun-
cil) was held here on Sunday.
It was attended by represent-
atives of UCO Bank employ-
ees from different NE states.
Addressing the meeting, Joy-
dev Dasgupta, national president
of UCO Bank Employees As-
sociation highlighted the prob-
lem of non-performing assets
(NPAs) in the banking industry
which has already crossed the Rs
13,00,000 crore mark and the
need for stringent measures
against the wilful defaulters.
Opposing the anti-worker
labour reforms contemplated
by the government, he called
for adequate recruitment and
opening of branches in the un-
banked areas of the NE.
banks in Kamrup (M) district
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, March 21: Kamrup Met-
ro Deputy Commissioner Dr M Angam-
uthu today reviewed the performance of
the banks located in the district for the
quarter ended December 31, 2016, and
called upon the bankers to contribute their
best for development of the economy.
Dr Angamuthu, who is also the Chair-
man of the District Consultative Com-
mittee and District Level Review Com-
mittee, said the bankers have proved that
they have the ability and capacity to han-
dle any situation in times of need and
there is now a need for development of
the economy of the district.
The DC expressed his satisfaction with
the work performed by the bankers, es-
pecially during the demonetisation peri-
od and thereafter. He appreciated the
bankers for their cooperation in the digi-
tisation work in the district.
We are the first district to achieve
various milestones like digitisation of oil
and LPG marketing points and govern-
ment hospitals. And even the DCs office
has been brought under the digital pay-
ment system, he said.
As on December 31, 2016, the priority
sector achievement stood at 94 per cent
against the Annual Credit Plan Target for
2016-17 at Rs 2,000 crore with its sector-
wise achievements in agriculture at 95 per
cent, for MSME at 109 per cent, while for
Kisan Credit Cards it stood at 90 per cent
of the financial target. For the district as a
whole both in the priority sector and non-
priority sector, it was 126 per cent against
the Annual Credit Plan Target.
Expressing satisfaction with the fig-
ures, Dr Angamuthu hoped that the per-
formance of the banks would be even bet-
ter in the last quarter ending March 2017
and the achievement would be more than
150 per cent of the target set for this
district for the 2016-17 fiscal.
With regard to the banks non-perform-
ing assets, Dr Angamuthu assured the
bankers of providing all support for re-
covery of NPAs. He asked the banks to
take stern action against the defaulting

Stand-up India programme where the
district is in the first position among all
the north-eastern states as on date by
financing 131 proposals with an exposure
of Rs 29.67 crore.
The DC also asked the bankers, who
have no rural operation or rural branches
within the district, to open at least one
rural branch each within the next fiscal.
He further asked the bankers to dis-
pose of the loan applications pending with
them immediately and to ensure zero
holding at bank level as on March 31. He
said that if any loan application is found
pending with the banks after that date
then it would be dealt with seriously.

M ost of the dividers, mainly on GS

traffic congestion and facilitate smooth
movement of vehicles. But, in our view,
instead of reducing traffic congestion, it
rather creates more problems. It be-

particularly the vehicles coming from the
opposite direction. We have noticed that
the dividers are blocked by placing plastic
barriers, or by using bamboo and ropes,
so that vehicles cannot cross over to the

autovans, autorickshaws, cycle rickshaws
and two-wheelers cross over by remov-

Reiterated objections
The Dalai Lama continues to be a thorn in the flesh of
the Chinese authorities and they do not desist from reit-
erating their objections to every move the Tibetan spir-
itual leader makes in India. At the same time, Arunachal
Pradesh continues to be a bone of contention between
China and India, so the combination of the Dalai Lama and
Arunachal is the equivalent of a red rag to a bull. The
very moment the Tibetan head had announced his deci-
sion to visit Arunachal in April, the Chinese propaganda
machinery was at it again, expressing grave concern
at the invitation extended by the Arunachal Government
to someone who according to them is engaged in anti-
China separatist activity and has very disgraceful be-
haviour on issues relating to China-India boundary ques-
tion. Ironically, it is not the Lama alone whose visit to
Arunachal so irks the Chinese! It may be recalled that
last October, China had protested a visit by the then US
Ambassador Richard Verma to attend a tourism-related
festival at Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. Many tribes in
Arunachal are Buddhists by faith and the Dalai Lama is a
revered figure for them, a reality that China, which had
for strategic reasons annexed Tibet, forcing the Dalai
Lama to flee and seek safety in India, has chosen to ig-
nore. No wonder time and again China has tried to belittle
Indias claims on Arunachal.
Moreover, Chinese objections to actions of the Dalai Lama
are not confined to Arunachal visits alone. At the moment
China has warned India not to go against her core con-
cern to avoid disruption to bilateral ties after New Delhi
invited the Tibetan leader to an international Buddhist
seminar. A Chinese spokesman asserted that her nation
is strongly dissatisfied with the invitation and urge the
Indian side to clearly see the anti-China splittist nature of
the Dalai group and honour its commitment on Tibet and
related questions, respect Chinas core concerns and avoid
China-India relations from being further disrupted and
undermined. This was in response to the inauguration by
the Dalai Lama of an international seminar on Buddhism
on March 17 at Rajgir in Bihar. That China has throughout
persisted in anti-Indian actions, of course, is totally ignored
by her while reiterating her objections. Her persistence in
backing Pakistan on its claims upon Kashmir or blocking

here was a perception
among the people of As-
sam that with many or
most of the insurgent
outfits having been engaged in peace
dialogue with the Government, the
level of all forms of violence in the
State or intensity of the armed am-
bushes and the resultant fatalities
inflicted by the ULFA or any other
anti-talk armed groups on the secu-
rity forces has to a large measure
declined. Similar was the feeling
even among some sections of po-
lice and security forces in the State
with the insurgency-related vio-
lence on the wane, and most ultra
groups engaged in peace talks with
the Centre.
But, it was established that their
notion about it was nothing but
unfounded. Because what had hap-
pened were some hair-raising at-
tacks resulting in the death of few
soldiers, all in Tinsukia district,
within two months time. There-
fore, it is a wrong perception that
the insurgency is currently at low
ebb in the State.
However, during the period, be-
tween November 19, 2016 and Jan-
uary 22, 2017, the incidents of all
the three armed ambushes had oc-
curred only on the Army person-

places in India including Guwahati,
where people are facing acute
water scarcity. For creating
awareness about saving water we

current scenario of global acute
water shortage, the wasteful use
of water in the name of Holi
celebration is extreme. But, this
time also like previous years, we
saw that people wasted water in
the name of Holi celebration. It is
common to use buckets of water
during Holi. But, we should keep
in mind that we are not only

Train condition
Sir, I am a frequent traveller
in the Kamakhya-Murkongselek
Intercity train. The standard of
the train was good since it was
inducted after the gauge conver-
sion. But over the last few
months, the condition of the train
has deteriorated. Most of the
rakes are in very poor condition
with broken berths and lights,
especially those of the sleeper
class. The plight of the toilets is
horrible as there is always
shortage of water to flush them. It
seems old and worn out rakes are
being used. This is an injustice to
the passengers. The condition of
the Guwahati-Naharlagun
Intercity train, which also runs on
the north bank of the Brahmapu-
tra, is better as far as the
condition of rakes are concerned.

Oil royalty
Sir, It is heartening to know
that the Central Government has
awarded a sum of Rs 6,323 crore
as petroleum royalty to Assam. It
was a long-pending due which now
can be used for various develop-
ment projects in the State. With
the grant of this royalty, the State
Government should immediately
reduce the local taxation on the
petroleum products which is the
highest in the country. It pains to
know that the current price of a
14.2 kg LPG cylinder is Rs 737 at
Delhi and Rs 821 at Guwahati. The
price of the same cylinder is much
higher at other places in Assam. It
costs a whopping Rs 155 more at
Silchar than at Delhi or Rs 126
more than at Ahmedabad with
current price standing at Rs 892.
This is despite the fact that Assam
is that one particular ideology
cannot dictate someone keeping
Indias vast socio-economic and
cultural diversity in mind. What
we need in our universities is an
environment cultivating liberal
thoughts and novel thinking
where ideological conflicts are
obvious but that should not get
politicized. Dissent in the univer-
sity is different from that of a po-
litical Opposition. Here, one
shouldnt act as fascist. It is a fight
to resist such orthodoxy and to
safeguard the democratic values
of our academic arenas. The right
to dissent and the freedom of ex-
pression are two democratic
ethoses that should always re-
main intact in our country; oth-
erwise, we would reach an intel-
lectual vacuum.

Apparently, the voluntary giving up

ABHINJAN BARUA, Silchar.
Passport service
Sir, Through your esteemed
daily, I would like to thank the
passport authority for their
prompt action in addressing my
grievance. I applied for my
passport on December 16, 2014.
But for unknown reasons, the file
was pending for two years. So I
decided to inform about this delay
to Arun K Chatterjee, Joint
Secretary, PSP and CPO, Union
Ministry of External Affairs. The
next day, I got a mail from the
RPO of the Guwahati Passport
Seva Kendra that my file had been
again reopened. Eventually, after
two years of long wait, I received
my passport a few days back. At a
time when the Digital India
campaign is going on, this kind of
positive effort from government
officials boosts the hope of the
common people in the transparent
running of a system. Yours etc.,

Anomaly alleged in transfer

of management of Kamini TE
STAFF CORRESPONDENT
DIBRUGARH, March 21:
Gross irregularities have been
alleged in the transfer of man-
agement of Kamini Tea Estate
to another business group by
the Assam Tea Employees
Provident Fund Organisation
(ATEPFO) authority.
The ATEPFO has been ac-
cused of conducting the trans-
fer of management in an arbi-
trary and unusual manner by
publishing Expression of Inter-
est (EOI) in only the website
portal of the department and
refraining from extensive pub-
licity in local English and As-
samese language newspapers.
Aggrieved business groups in
the tea sector have also alleged
that the concerned authority
did not issue any public notice
on the matter due to which
very few people related to the
tea industry knew about the
opportunity.
It may be pertinent to add
here that Kamini Tea Estate was
attached and taken over by the
Assam Tea Employees Provi-
dent Fund Organisation (ATEP-
FO) authority on February 18
last due to default of provident
fund and related dues.
Chandpur Tea Planters &
Industries, which is a Chabua-
based business group, has in
the meantime lodged a writ-
ten complaint to the con-
cerned authority and has also
brought the matter to the no-
tice of the Chief Minister, La-
bour Minister, Commerce and
Industry Minister and Deputy
Commissioner of Dibrugarh
respectively.
The management of Chand-
pur Tea Planters & Industries
has expressed surprise as to
how the ATEPFO completed
all the formalities of accept-
ance of EOI against a single
tender and handed over the
property within a short span
of 3-4 days. This is gross in-
justice to all our tea concerns.
This act has demoralised all our
tea concerns in the area and
created disenchantment
among us, the management
stated in its complaint.
However, on contacting the
Dibrugarh zonal office of the
Assam Tea Employees Prov-
ident Fund Organisation here,
the Assistant PF Commission-
er-cum-Recovery Officer Su-
jit Kumar Baruah told The
Assam Tribune that transfer
of management of the attached
property was conducted as per
procedures and as per the di-
rection of their Guwahati-
based head office. On the mat-
ter of publicity, Baruah said that
the matter was published in
The Assam Tribune, and de-
nied any irregularity. Porcupines being installed to prevent erosion of Gamiri River in Gohpur, on Monday. UB Photos

Tourism potential of Dima
Hasao district highlighted
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, March 21:
Travel and tourism industry
representatives have come up
with wide-ranging suggestions
to boost tourism in Dima
Hasao district.
A discussion was organised
here on Monday by Guwahati-
based research think-tank Cen-
tre for Development and Peace
Studies (CDPS) as part of an
initiative by the Department of
Tourism, North Cachar Hills
Autonomous Council, to come
up with a Tourism Vision Doc-
ument for the district.
More than 30 representa-
tives, that included hoteliers,
tour operators, adventure
tourism professionals, and ac-
ademics from hotel manage-
ment institutes, attended the
meeting. Director of Assam
Tourism, Palash Barooah, and
officials of India Tourism, also
attended the meeting.
Addressing the gathering,
Kulendra Daulagupu, execu-
tive member of Tourism,
North Cachar Hills Autono-
mous Council, spoke about the
problems and prospects in de-
veloping tourism in Dima
Hasao. He said that pictur-
esque Dima Hasao has three
of Assams highest peaks, abun-
dant flora and fauna, diverse
ethnic groups, waterfalls as
well as megalithic remains of
the past. He urged entrepre-
neurs to invest in the tourism
sector in Dima Hasao, which
can act as the engine of growth
in the otherwise underdevel-
oped district.
Some of the suggestions
from the participants included
organising biking tours to the
district, organising calendar
events so that tourists can plan
their itinerary well in advance
and training local people in ar-
eas like hospitality, home-
stays, adventure tourism and
as tour guides. The partici-
pants also stressed on the need
for sensitisation of police to
make them tourist-friendly.
CDPS will hold a similar con-
sultative meeting at Haflong
next month to be attended by
various local stakeholders and
Council and district authorities.

vaccinated area said that more
than 511 domestic animals have
been vaccinated till now and
some other adjoining villages
would be covered soon to con-
trol the disease.
General symptoms of FMD
are lesions in the oral cavity,
between hooves and around
udder. It causes serious eco-
nomic loss to the owners of
the livestock . This disease
also makes the animals lame
and worthless. Prevention can
be done through massive im-
munisation. So there is a need
on the part of State Veterinary
department to organise aware-

order to apprise the villagers
to do regular vaccination
against FMD and prevent the
occurrence of the disease.

DIBRUGARH, March 21:
An awareness programme on
Swachh Bharat was organised
by the NSS wing of DHSK
College in collaboration with
the district administration
here at the Shankardeva Sab-
hakakhya yesterday.
Deputy Commissioner Laya
Madduri attended the function
as the chief guest. The Depu-
ty Commissioner, in her
speech, emphasised on the
need and importance of the
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. She
shared her experience of the
Swachh Bharat Mobile App
and its use. She also spoke on
the importance of peoples
participation through the
Swachh Bharat campaign. She
appreciated the initiative of the
college for organising such a
programme.
Dipu Deka, the Circle Offic-
er of Dibrugarh East demon-
strated the use of the Swachh
Bharat Mobile App and asked
the students to download the
mobile app from the play store
of their android mobile. While
interacting with the students,
he also called upon the gather-
ing to extend their help and
cooperation for making the city
clean. The District Information
Officer also delivered a talk on
Swachh Bharat and peoples
role in making the city clean.
Earlier Dr Biraj Dutta, NSS
Programme Officer initiated
the programme with the wel-
come of the guests. Dr Sashi
Kanta Saikia, Principal, DHSK
College explained about the
objective of the programme.
Dr Saikia, in his speech, high-
lighted the need and impor-
tance of health and hygiene.
The programme was at-
tended by about 200 students
from DHSK College, MDKG
College and DHSK Com-
merce College.
The city unit of All Dibrugarh
Students Union today staged

ments failure to nab Subodh

Acharya highlights achievements of Nagaland govt

CORRESPONDENT
DIMAPUR, March 21: The 12th
Nagaland Legislative Assembly
began this morning with Gover-
nor PB Acharya highlighting the
achievements and policies of the
government.
Addressing the session, he said
the year gone by has been an
eventful one for the State. While
progress was made on several
fronts on one hand, the State gov-
ernment faced various problems
on the other hand in conducting
elections to the Urban Local Bod-
ies in the State, leading to violence
and the elections being ultimately
declared null and void on Febru-
ary 2, the Governor said.
He informed the House that a
judicial inquiry has been ordered
into the matter and the govern-
ment will hold consultations with
all stakeholders, civil societies and
tribal bodies for arriving at a con-
sensual approach towards Urban
Local Bodies elections and related
matters at the right time.
Acharya said he is happy to an-
nounce that through the collective
efforts of the civil society organi-
sations, the State government and
the Government of India, it has
been possible to impress upon the
Myanmar government to stop the
border fencing work. He added
that the State government will
continue to make efforts to ensure
that no such fencing works are car-
ried out in the international bor-
der areas in Nagaland.
He said the government will
support the ongoing political dia-
logue between the Government of
India and the NSCN(IM) and would
continue to strive to work for a fi-
nal solution to the decades-old Naga
political issue in a peaceful, inclu-
sive and honourable manner. The
State government has also recent-
ly constituted the Political Affairs
Mission to spearhead the Govern-
ments efforts and has replaced the
Political Affairs Committee of the
State government, he added.
The Governor also informed the
House that the IT infrastructure has
been created at customary courts
in all the 11 districts of the State.
The State government took a
major step towards charting a clear
road map for development by
bringing out the Nagaland Vision
2030 last year, adding that the gov-
ernment would strive to align its
various programmes accordingly
so as to accelerate the develop-
ment activities in the State with
focus on creating employment for
the educated unemployed youth
and ensure that the fruits of devel-
opment percolate equitably to all
parts of the State.
On agriculture and allied sec-
tors, the Governor said the Naga-
land Vision 2030 will emphasize
on growth of the sectors. The
Jhum Land Survey of the State has
already been published and the
State Waters Policy is under ac-
tive consideration of the govern-
ment, he added.
On the activities of the Depart-
ment of Land Resources he said
the department has taken up Forests & Climate Change has taken

NEW DELHI, March 21:
With the nominal year-over-
year (y-o-y) expenditure
growth at 12 per cent and with
consumption set to triple to $4
trillion, India will be the third
largest consumer market by
2025, a report said today.
Consumption in India is set
to triple to $4 trillion by 2025
as rising affluence drives
changes in consumer behav-
iours and spending patterns
that have big implications for
companies, said the report,
released by the Boston Con-
sulting Groups (BCG) Centre
for Customer Insight (CCI).
Nominal year-over-year
expenditure growth of 12 per
cent is more than double the
anticipated global rate of five
per cent and will make India
the third largest consumer
market by 2025.
According to the report, ti-
tled The New Indian: The
Many Facets of a Changing
Consumer, among the factors
that will shape consumption is
the countrys unique pattern
of urbanisation, in which
emerging cities are the fast-
est growing.
About 40 per cent of Indias
population will be living in ur-
ban areas by 2025, and city
dwellers will account for more
than 60 per cent of consump-
tion, the report said.
Expenditures in these cit-
ies are already rising by nearly
14 per cent a year, while con-
sumer spending in Indias big-
gest cities is increasing at about
12 per cent a year, it added.
The report noted that an-
other important trend is shift-
ing family structures to nucle-
ar households, the proportion
of which has been on the rise
during the past two decades,
reaching 70 per cent and pro-
jected to increase to 74 per
cent by 2025.

off-court solution
to Ayodhya issue
COIMBATORE, March 21: The RSS
today welcomed the apex courts sugges-
tion for a negotiated settlement to the Ay-
odhya dispute, saying it should be resolved
at the earliest and a grand shrine should
be built with participation of all.
We welcome the suggestion of Su-
preme Court. RSS always supported a
settlement outside the court or a legisla-
tion to solve the sensitive issue, RSS
Joint General Secretary Dattatreya Ho-
sabale told reporters here.
The top RSS brass is here to attend a
three-day meeting of its highest decision-
making body, Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi
Sabha, which concluded today.
It is to be decided by the
Dharam Sansad as they
are the people who
organised the entire Ram

and the parties who went
to the court. The RSS will

Hosadale
Hosabale was responding to a question
on the suggestion by the Supreme Court
bench headed by Chief Justice JS Khehar
that such religious issues can be solved
through negotiations and its offer to me-
diate for arriving at an amicable settle-
ment.
He said though the RSS was not direct-
ly involved in the litigation, it would sup-
port any decision taken by the Dharma
Sansad, which spearheaded the Ram Jan-
ambhumi movement.
It (the Ram temple issue) is to be de-
cided by the Dharam Sansad as they are
the people who organised the entire Ram
Janambhumi movement and the parties
who went to the court. The RSS will not
decide, he added.
BJP veteran LK Advani also welcomed
the Supreme Court suggestion of an out-
of-court settlement of the Ayodhya dis-
pute and said all concerned parties should
reach a consensus to resolve it. PTI

for absence in Parliament
NEW DELHI, March 21:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi
today pulled up BJP MPs for
skipping Parliament proceed-
ings following incidents of lack
of quorum and even warned that
he will keep a tab on them by
calling any member any time
during the session.
Modis tough talk to his par-
ty MPs at the weekly BJP Par-
liamentary Party meeting came
following frequent delay in start
of work in the two Houses due
to lack of quorum - the mini-
mum number of members
needed for valid proceedings.
He told them that attending
Parliament is their basic re-
sponsibility and added wryly
that he can do a lot of things
but cannot be present there on
their behalf.
Bill passed for rights
of HIV/AIDS patients
NEW DELHI, March 21: A
crucial bill to ensure equal rights
to people afflicted by HIV and
AIDS in getting treatment, ad-
mission in educational institu-
tions and jobs, was passed by
the Rajya Sabha today.
The Human Immunodefi-
ciency Virus (HIV) and Ac-
quired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome (AIDS) (Preven-
tion) and Control) Bill, 2014,
moved by Health Minister J P
Nadda, was passed in the Up-
per House by a voice vote.
During the debate on the
measure, many members
suggested amending the Sec-
tion 14(1) of the bill, to re-
move the phrase as far as
possible for providing medi-
cal treatment by the Centre
and the states to those infect-
ed with HIV and AIDS.
In his reply to the debate,
Nadda said, I would like to in-
Parliamentary Affairs Min-
ister Ananth Kumar spoke
about incidents of lack of quo-
rum in both the Houses, in-
cluding yesterday, prompting
Modi to say that it should not
be about requesting the MPs
to be present as it is their
basic responsibility.
BJP members said that the
PM told them that it did not
matter to him if they were in
the Central Hall, a place to host
joint sittings of Parliament
where MPs often meet for in-
formal conversation, as what
is important is that they should
be inside the Houses.

ed that Modi was visibly un-

form the House that while mak-
ing the rules, we will ensure
that nobody is denied treatment
and we are committed to pro-
vide medical treatment to all
those living with HIV or AIDS.
We are going with an aggres-
sive policy.
Stressing the govern-
ments commitment to the
issue, the minister said In-
dia will treat anyone with HIV
and AIDS. Anyone in India
having HIV or AIDS, the Gov-
ernment of India will take care
of the treatment.
He said there will be a pro-
vision in the rules to provide
justification for denying treat-
ment to the patients. tra), Bijapur, Gulbarga, Hasan
A large number of members
were of the view that the
phrase as far possible would
defeat the purpose of the bill as
it provides a leeway to the
Centre and the States. PTI
Modi had in the past also
asked members to ensure
their presence in the two
Houses but this time he spoke
out without mincing words.
He recalled the remarks of
an RSS functionary who had
lamented that though the Hin-
dutva organisation had spread
far and wide, its members
seem to be too busy to attend
shakhas (meetings).
Likewise, the MPs too
seemed to have so much of
work that they do not have
time to attend Parliament,
which should not be the case,
he said.
As representatives of la-
stituency, it is their job to
attend the House proceed-
ings, he said. PTI
Centre nod for
18 new airports
NEW DELHI, March 21:
The government has given in
principle approval for setting
up 18 airports which
together are estimated to
cost nearly Rs 30,000 crore.

Aviation Jayant Sinha today

provided by developers, the
total estimated cost for setting

Maximum Kashmiri youths joined

militancy in 2016, says Centre
NEW DELHI, March 21: A total of
88 Kashmiri youths joined militancy in
2016, the highest in last six years, the
Centre has said, adding that infiltration
almost tripled last year as compared to
2015.
It, however, said the situation in Jam-
mu and Kashmir has improved to a large
extent in the current year.
In written replies to two separate ques-
tions in Lok Sabha, Minister of State for
Home Affairs, Hansraj Gangaram Ahir
shared data about Kashmiri youths tak-
ing up arms, infiltration attempts and law
and order situation in the valley.
The data shows a steady increase in
the number of youths taking up arms in
the valley from 2014 onwards as com-
pared to ones between 2010 and 2013.
According to the data, 88 Kashmiri
youths have joined militancy in 2016
which is highest in last six years.
In the year 2010, 54 youths joined mil-
itancy, in 2011, the number came down
to 23. It further dipped to 21 in 2012 and
16 in 2013, it said.
In 2014, the number shot to 53 and in
2015, it reached 66 before touching the
highest mark in six years (88) in 2016,
the data said.
The state of Jammu and Kashmir has
been affected by terrorism sponsored and
supported from across the border. The
levels of terrorist violence in the hinter-
land of Jammu and Kashmir are linked to
infiltration from across the border, Ahir
said.
The data on infiltration shows that about
121 terrorists had sneaked into the coun-
try in 2012, highest in six years, followed
by 119 in 2016.
The counter terrorism efforts saw the WATER PURIFIER
best figures in 2010, when 81 per cent of
infiltration attempts were thwarted by
security forces, with only 95 terrorists
entering the country as against 489 at-
tempts, the data said.
In 2011, 52 terrorists had crossed over
against 247 infiltration attempts, while in
2013, 97 ultras managed to sneak against
277 attempts, it said.
In 2014, 222 terrorists tried to enter
the country, but only 65 could do it and in
2015, 121 ultras attempted but 33 of them
were successful, the data said.
Under the surrender policy notified
by the state government, since January
31, 2004 till date, 219 surrendered mili-
tants have been benefited under the
scheme, Ahir said. PTI

WASHINGTON, March 21:
Passengers travelling to the US
from 10 airports in eight Mus-
lim-majority countries, includ-
ing from global hubs like
Dubai, cannot carry large elec-
tronic devices like cameras and
laptops as cabin baggage un-
der a new Trump administra-
tion order today, citing terror-
ism concerns.
According to the tough secu-
rity restrictions, passengers will
have to check in any devices big-
ger than a smartphone includ-
ing iPads, Kindles and laptops
before clearing security or
boarding, US officials said.
The open-ended ban will af-
fect more than 50 flights from
10 airports, including major
global hubs like Dubai and Is-
tanbul, according to senior ad-
ministration officials.
The 10 international air-
ports covered by the ban are
in Cairo, Egypt; Dubai and Abu
Dhabi, UAE; Istanbul, Turkey;
Doha, Qatar; Amman, Jordan;
Kuwait City; Casablanca, Mo-
rocco; and Jeddah and Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia.
The nine airlines are
Egyptair, Emirates Airline,
Etihad Airways, Kuwait Air-
ways, Qatar Airways, Royal
Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian
Airlines, Saudi Arabian Air-
lines and Turkish Airlines.
The nine airlines affected by
the ban were notified of the
procedures by the Transpor-
tation Security Administration
today and must comply within
96 hours.
Senior US administration of-
ficials said the rules were
prompted by evaluated intel-
ligence that terrorists con-
tinue to target commercial avia-
tion by smuggling explosives
in portable electronic devices.
Based on this information,
Secretary of Homeland Secu-
rity John Kelly and Transpor-
tation Security Administration
acting administrator Huban
Gowadia have determined it
is necessary to enhance secu-
rity procedures for passengers
at certain last-point-of-depar-
ture airports to the United
States, The Washington Post
quoted an official as saying.
The officials said US carri-
ers are not affected because
none of them fly from the air-
ports in question to the US.
The ban involves some of
the widest reaching aviation
security measures taken since
the terrorist attacks on Sep-
tember 11, 2001.
It means all laptops, cam-
eras, tablets, e-readers, port-
able DVD players, electronic
gaming devices and travel
printers or scanners will have
to be kept in the cargo hold for
the duration of the flight.
Royal Jordanian Airlines told
passengers yesterday that medi-
cal devices were still allowed. If
the airlines do not comply with
the order within the 96 hour
time frame, we will work with
the FAA to pull their certificate
and they will not be allowed to
fly to the United States, the
CNN quoted one senior US of-
ficial as saying.
He said the move is partly
based on intelligence that they
believe indicates Al Qaeda in
the Arabian Peninsula is close

Southgate picks up pieces as England rebuild again SU DO KU

LONDON, March 21: After a year scarred
by scandal and sporting catastrophe, Gareth
Southgate will begin his attempt to steer Eng-
land into calmer waters in Wednesdays friend-
ly against Germany in Dortmund.
England began 2016 with a stirring 3-2 win
over Germany, but they were humiliated by
Iceland at Euro 2016 before new manager Sam
Allardyce was brought down by a newspaper
sting after just one game in charge.
Southgate, 46, has been left to pick up the
pieces and he asserted his authority by omit-
ting captain Wayne Rooney from his first squad,
explaining that it is time for England to
build for the future.
When youre in the role tem-
porarily, you are always think-
ing, Do I make decisions
for the long term or
do you just need
points for the coun-
try? said South-
gate, who initial-
ly replaced Al-
lardyce on an
interim basis.
Now theres an opportunity to put down
things I think are important. Weve got a clear
longer-term vision of how we want to work as
a group of staff, so the last few months have
been about putting that into place.
England left Germany a year ago with con-
fidence sky-high after goals from Harry Kane,
Jamie Vardy and Eric Dier saw Roy Hodg-
sons men come from 2-0 down to beat the
world champions 3-2 in Berlin.
Hodgsons young team were expected to
make a splash at Euro 2016 in France, but
after limp group-stage draws against Russia
and Slovakia, they were stunned 2-1 by Ice-
land in the last 16.
Hodgsons resignation saw Allardyce hand-
ed the job he had long coveted, only for him to
fall foul of undercover Daily Telegraph report-
ers who secretly filmed him making indiscreet
comments in a hotel bar.
Promoted from his role as England under-
21s coach, Southgate was given four games to
prove himself worthy of the top job.
Results and performances were mixed as
England beat Malta and Scotland in World Cup
qualifying, but could only draw 0-0 in Slovenia
and let a 2-0 lead slip to draw 2-2 in an end-of-
year friendly with Spain.
But it proved a successful audition and
Southgate abetted by a glaring lack of other
strong candidates was awarded a four-year
contract in November.
His first significant act was to sideline Roon-
ey, four months after the 31-year-old had to
apologise for being pictured looking the worse
for wear alongside wedding guests at the Eng-
land team hotel.
