should not be any scope forleniency in such cases. TheSociety made these de-mands after visiting thebrave survivor at the RKMission, where she is cur-rently recuperating.

The Society has alsocoordinated in extendinglegal help through theArunachal Pradesh LegalServices Authorities, whosent a lawyer to meet thefamily today at the hospi-tal. The society further saidthat compensation shouldbe given at the earliest tothe girl by the state govern-ment as applicable.

Society's Pres identGumri Ringu has further ap-pealed to the people of thestate to protect the identity,by not sharing the photo-graphs of the under agedgirl on social media network-ing sites and media as it vio-lates the provisions underProtection of Children fromSexual Offences Act.

Commission for Women(APSCW) and ArunachalPradesh Social WelfareBoard (APSWB) led bychairpersons MitaliTingkhatra and Marina Nidorespectively visited R.K.MHospital to express theirsolidarity and support to the14 year old girl.

Accordingly Secre-tary RKM obliged to theappeal.

Meanwhile, the APSCWand APSWB have vehe-mently condemned thecrime meted on the girl andappealed for strong legalaction against the culpritsinvolved.

Staff ReporterITANAGAR, Mar 04:Arunachal Pradesh Con-gress Committee (APCC)president Padi Richo hasbeen blamed for the politi-cal crisis in the state.

"The damage has beendone by the Congress partyitself. It is all because of thebiasness of APCC Presi-dent. If he was unbiased andhad not sided with NabamTuki despite of the fact thatKalikho Pul had the major-ity, the situation would nothave arrived. We would stillbe with Congress, if not forhim," accused Basar MLAGojen Gadi.

"Till March 2, we havebeen with Congress. But

then all our moves were be-ing termed wrong. What elsecould we do if our own partydisowns us?" he laments.

"The Congress alwaysblamed Pul that he wouldform BJP government but heproved them wrong by join-ing PPA instead," Gadi said.

Also speaking, YachuliMLA Likha Saaya ques-tioned the unyielding waysof former Chief MinisterNabam Tuki during the po-litical stalemate.

"He could have justhumbly handed over his po-sition like his predecessorLate Jarbom Gamlin did.Why could not he sacrificewhen he was a party loyal-ist?" he lamented.

Both the MLAs dis-owned their expulsion fromthe Congress party sayingthat the letter only had thesignature of the state gen-eral secretary Tamchi Tagar.

"The expulsion letter hasnot been signed by any of thehigh command or the APCCpresident," Gojen Gadi said.

Adding to the point,Saaya said, "There is mock-ery of politics in the state.No rules or regulations arebeing followed here".

They also cried foul onthe conduct of the Con-gress Party saying whythey were being singled outof the total members whojoined from Tuki camp.(Contd. on P-5)

ITANAGAR, Mar 04:Union Minister of State forHome Kiren Rijiju today saidhe was offered the post ofChief Minister of ArunachalPradesh but he declined ashe did not want to get in-volved in state politics.

"Chief Minister KalikhoPul offered me the post firstbut I declined...He wantedme to lead the new govern-ment but I did not want toswitch at this point of timebecause I have been givena mandate to representpeople of the state in Parlia-ment and I am doing myduty," he told reporters atthe sidelines of an event atRajiv Gandhi University atDoimukh, near here.

Rijiju also appreciatedPul saying that he is not aselfish person.

He said Prime MinisterNarendra Modi had givenhim responsibility as a min-ister which he had to dis-charge for the country andhe would get the maximumbenefit for ArunachalPradesh.

Rijiju said he is not in-terested or involved in state

affairs but only interested inthe welfare of its people andasserted that all possiblehelp would be provided bythe Centre to the people ofArunachal Pradesh.

"Who became the chiefminister and who runs thestate is not important for me.I have been given mandateby the people and I care forthem. Which party rules thestate does not make any dif-ference to me. My percep-tion is my conduct," he said.

On rumours that he hadappointed his brother-in-law as secretary to the Gov-ernor to gain political mile-age, Rijiju said an IAS of-ficer cannot be s toppedfrom being appointed.

"I have not made anyIAS officer. They must beappointed somewhere orthe other. I have so far notappointed any OSD, PS orPA from my family. This ismy principle," he said.

On whether there is pos-sibility that the newArunachal governmentwould merge with BJP, hesaid he is not interested.

"When I became MP,

people across party linevoted for me. I am not con-cerned for MLAs or parties.My concern is for the peopleof the state.

The Centre, he said, isproviding additional moneyspecially for T irap,Changlang and Longdingdistricts. Money was alsobeing provided to the statefor modernisation of policeforces, police stations andfor procurement of armsand ammunitions.

"We will give extramoney for other necessaryrequirements. For non-planand capita l expenditurewhich is required for the ba-sic welfare of the Arunachalcivil police, I want to extendbest poss ible help tomodernise state police," headded. "There is nothing likespecial package...Whateveris required will come from theCentre. The governmentshould submit proposalsand we are ready to help,"Rijiju said.

The union minister saidbesides normal budget hewould try to get some extrafor Arunachal. PTI

ITANAGAR, Mar 04: Toimprove the living standardof working class and to cre-ate a strong work force, ChiefMinister Kalikho Pul hasdecided to enhance the mini-mum salary of contingencystaffs in all departments. Theenhancement will be from theexisting Rs 4500 to Rs 6000for unskilled and Rs 7000 forskilled workers.

The enhanced salary willalso affect the five-yearlyenhancement scheme ofworkers which has now beenincreased to Rs 2000 fromthe existing Rs 500.

These revised labour

wages is much higher thanthe present wage of the Na-tional Floor Level MinimumWage (NFLMW), which isRs. 160 per day.

The idea behind the hikein wages, according to theChief Minister, is that whilethe regular government em-ployee gets travel and dear-ness allowances and medi-cal reimbursements, thecontingency and the casualstaffs are deprived of suchbenefits.

Pul made the decisionafter consulta tion withwork departments andshared his views to theLabour Commissioner onThursday, who was askedto immediately work outmodalities for its implemen-tation. (Contd. on P-5)

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) When we see road signs in the distance, they take time tomake themselves clear. We know what they are before we're able to actually readthem properly and we also have expectations about how helpful they can or shouldbe. If they're placed strategically and helpfully, then they should give us plenty of

advance warning about what we need to know. What your inner voice is telling youneeds to be acknowledged in the same way. Soon, it will become much clearer.TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Can negative energy be helpful or positive? Much de-pends on how it's used. We know wonderful things can happen from seeminglynegative situations or when we're faced with adversity. You could be inclined to focuson all that's negative within an area of your world and reasons why you must free

yourself from it. Yet, through recognizing what you know you don't want, you're aboutto gain clearer understanding of what you want. That, in itself, will prove very positive.GEMINI (May 22- June 21) Someone in your world needs enlightening and theyappear to need this from you. Are you prepared to 'show them the way' or highlightwhat they need to know or should be doing? You might believe you're not best placed

to take on this responsibility yet might also suspect you know more about a particularmatter than they do. You are being encouraged to speak up and highlight what mightappear obvious. The benef its of doing this will be clear enough soon.CANCER (June 22-July 22) From a young age, we learn to assess what is and isn't'fair' in life. Over time, we push personal preferences or opinions aside and base

what we deem to be fair by assessing what is and isn't logical or balanced in anysituation. You might be looking at a particular arrangement in the belief someone isbenef iting from it in an unjust way. This, understandably, doesn't sit well with you.However, a certain person is about to be made aware of this and without interventionfrom you.LEO (July 23-Aug 22) We know every action we take is preceded by a thought. That

process is simple enough but we can sometimes be unaware of precisely whatmotivates us to take the action in the first place. The preceding thought might onlyinvolve doing something for the sake of it or because we feel we must do so for areason we can't quite identify. Where you're considering taking action now, try torecognize what's motivating you to take it. You might be surprised at the reason.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) If you know a task needs doing and know it needs to bedone properly and in a particular way, then you might feel inclined to shoulder re-sponsibility for it. Are you really obliged to do so, though? Shouldn't someone elseaccept the necessary part they must play in making something happen? Don't be tooquick to accept sole responsibility for something that ought to be shared. It might suit

someone else for you to do so but you're not as obliged as they want you to be.LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) We know many of our attitudes and beliefs surroundingwhat we're capable of doing are formed at a young age. All it takes as a child is forsomeone to tell us we're 'no good at doing that' or shouldn't believe ourselves ca-pable of doing 'this' and, for some reason, we believe them. The repercussions ofsuch statements can last a lifetime. You're being encouraged now to reassess your

reasons for believing why you 'can't do something'. This is timely and extremelypositive.SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) We can all look at what's going on around us in the beliefsome people don't appear to have a clue what they're supposed to be doing or wecould play a very helpful part in improving or solving certain situations if only our input

or advice was requested. You might be looking on at a situation with both amuse-ment and frustration now. Are you obliged to step in and highlight the obvious? Fornow, you're wise to remain on the sidelines!SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Some room for maneuver is needed and the goodnews is, what's expected of you is to simply be receptive to a sudden development in

some way. That sounds easy enough, doesn't it? As a situation alters without inter-vention from you, it will become clearer how allowing spontaneity to work on yourbehalf represents a far better option that trying to force or a steer a situation yourself.Relax and allow what's changing to sort itself out.CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan. 20) We tend to make progress in strides, not 'dolly steps'.We also don't want to have to wait for something demanding patience and self-discipline when we can see ways in which it can be obtained or happen sooner. Yourfrustration at how long a particular process is taking to unfold is understandable butit's important to have faith in the fact that it needs time it's taking to ensure everythingis in place for you to take action when required and the sky insists that's very soon.AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) There's nothing quite like a feeling of pride that wellsup within us. If we've been integral to something happening and can see the f inalresult as something to be proud of, then we naturally want that feeling to be strongand last as long as possible. Something in an area of your world is giving you causeto feel proud and you can trust that your involvement isn't going unnoticed or unap-preciated by certain others who are very grateful for your efforts.PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) As tempting as it might be to divulge certain information ona 'need to know basis', it's possible you could end up doing yourself a disservice bydoing so. You might have umpteen reasons to want to keep certain information toyourself but, by being selective about whom you choose to divulge it, can gain sup-port in a way you could use some. You don't have to reveal everything at once, justenough to satisfy someone who ought to know more than they do currently.

Divya Kumar: 90s musicshouldn’t be recreated

MUMBAI, Mar 4:Bollywood playback singerDivya Kumar says the trendof re-creating iconic songsfrom the 90's is not a healthyone as the tracks have emo-tional value attached whichcannot be modernised.Divya, who sang thechartbuster 'Jee karda' num-ber from 'Badlapur' last year,feels adding a rap portionto the re-created song takesaway the purity which theoriginal track has.

"For me, the 90s is a veryemotional era. The essenceof 90's music cannot bebrought back...It was verypure, you can't add rap to itand make it modern.'Aashiqui 2's soundtrack wassuccessful because theydidn't recreate any of the hittracks of the previous films.They created new melodieswhich were in the similar zone.I am completely against therecreation of 90's songs. Ithink those should not betouched," Divya told PTI.

The singer has lent hisvoice to hit songs like'Maston ka jhund' from'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' and'Sunn saathiya' from 'ABCD2'. It was however, 'Jee karda'which brought him to in-stant fame.

Divya feels a Bollywoodsong has to be a hit if itwants to reach out to maxi-mum people even thoughthe independent musicscene in the country isslowly flourishing.

"'Jee Karda' was a superhit song because it reachedout to many people. EvenVarun Dhawan pushed itand promoted me too. Theindependent music scene isslowly emerging again, butas long as we depend onBollywood music, we needhit songs to reach as manypeople through music."

Divya has sung thesong 'Binu baadar' in thePriyanka Chopra-starrer 'JaiGangaaJal', which hit screenstoday. The singer says hehad a great time recordingthe track for music composerSalim-Suleiman, with whomhe worked for the first time.

"I had a great time re-cording the song with Salim-Sulaiman. The song comesat a point in the film wherePriyanka is bashing goons...I had to pronounce 'Binubaadar' in a certain UP style,and the lyricist also helpedme with it. Prakash Jha wasthere. The song has come outreally nicely," he said.

The Arunachal TimesSATURDAY, MARCH 5, 2016

Thought of the day

The Election Commiss ion on Fridayannounced the schedule for the forthcomingAssembly elections in four States and one UnionTerritory. The States are Kerala, Tamil Nadu,West Bengal, Assam and Puducherry. Assamwill go to poll in two phases on 4th and 11th ofApril. Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry willgo to poll in a single phase on 16th May. TheCounting for all Assembly Constituencies in allfive States will be held on 19th of May. With theannouncement of the poll schedule, the modelcode of conduct has come into force. Around20 crore voters will participate. The comingassembly election can be virtually termed as amini parliament election.

The stakes are especially high for BJP. Theruling party has been facing severe backlashover poor governance and their overzealousnationalism. The arrest of JNU students onsedition charge and death of dalit Phd scholarRohit Vermula has not gone done well with thepublic. These issues will definitely hurt prospectof BJP in the coming election. The BJP isdesperate to win the assembly election as theyare worried about their number in Rajya Sabha.The opposition parties which are in majority inthe Rajya Sabha have managed to use it totheir advantage. If BJP wants to improve itsstrength in Rajya Sabha then they have to startwinning assembly elections . Also if partyperforms poorly in the assembly election, themomentum will shift to opposition. In the longrun this will hurt the prospect of saffron party.

Readers’ Forum

Poll-Bound States

Political parties in poll bound States are scramblingfor ‘last minute deals’. After three months ofnegotiations and declaring it would go it alone, the

Asom Gana Parishad has done a U-turn. It has sealed adeal with the BJP in the Assam polls, “in the larger interestof the State, including ensuring a total rout of theCongress”. A relieved BJP has now two allies, the otherbeing the Bodo People’s Front and is hopeful this north-eastern State may help it make inroads into the region. Ithas its record win of seven of the State’s 14 Lok Sabhaseats in 2014 and feels the people of Assam are desperatelyseeking a change. Observers too feel the tie-up with AGPcould hurt the prospects of the Congress, which is facinganti-incumbency, but at the same time the party is bankingon its alliance with the AIUDF help it secure its fourthterm. Though alliances have finally been worked out, thepartners have another hurdle to cross—work out seat-sharing formulas. This may well turn the new foundbonhomie sour.

Likewise, in neighbouring West Bengal the three mainplayers are trying to work out poll partnerships, thoughthey haven’t been as lucky so far. Like the AGP, the rulingTrinamool Congress had announced it would go it alone.However, it now seems to be having second thoughts. Itsjoint walk outs on issues with the Congress in the LokSabha have raised eyebrows that it may want anunderstanding with it in the ensuing Assembly election.This after the Grand Old Party is said to having been intalks with the Left parties for some time and is close tohaving reached an understanding, which the TMCdescribed as ‘a desperate attempt’ by the two to remainrelevant in State politics! Though the TMC may not like toadmit it, but the party is obviously worried with BJPPresident Shah concentrating on the State for the past oneyear. While he hasn’t scored any gains at the civic level,his diatribe has peeved the TMC and realises that the battlefor the State Assembly may not be a cakewalk.

TN Final Tie-UpIn Tamil Nadu too, AIADMK supremo and Chief

Minister Jayalalitha may well dilute her stand of going it

Clinching last minute dealsalone and bat with the BJP this Assembly poll. This againwould be under pressure as rival DMK has revived itsalliance with the Congress. The AIADMK-BJP talks arelearnt to be at the highest level and the former would wantthe BJP to contest 25 seats where its position is not strong.However, the BJP is said to be bargaining for 60 seats. Atthe same time, the ruling AIADMK has kicked off itscampaign by raising the Aircel-Maxis scandal in Parliamentand stalling it not just to hit out at rivals DMK and theCongress but also to strengthen the Centre’s hands. Thisapart, it has raised the popular demand of releasing the heconvicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. While ithas sought the Centre’s opinion as per Supreme Court’sdirection, the move is seen to pass on the blame on to BJPif a poll arrangement doesn’t work. At its end, the BJP ishoping to have an alliance with Vijaykanth-led DMDK,

but the latter may be inching towards the DMK. All eyeswould be on how the final picture pans out.

Maharashtra Dance BarsEnough is enough, is Supreme Court’s terse message

to Maharashtra Government. With the latter continuing tomake a song and dance about granting licences to dancebars, the apex court has issued a deadline—do so by March15. On Wednesday last, it minced no words and stated:The Maharashtra authorities shall act in accordance withthe commander of the apex court and not put any additionalcondition to stall grant of license to dance bars.” It refusedto allow Fadnavis government’s demand that there be alive feed from a dance bar to the nearest police station,saying ‘CCTV coverage of the performance area would bea violation of privacy.’ The Dance Bar Association hadpetitioned the court after the police imposed 24 newconditions, including putting up a three foot wall betweenthe performance area and patrons’ seating area, beforeallowing them to open dance bars. How many licences willbe issued is the big question.

Himachal’s GooglyThe pitch for holding the India-Pakistan World T-20

match in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh is not declaredcleared. Till Thursday last, reports suggested thatVirbhadra Singh’s government wasn’t against holdingof the match as people in the State were against it forPakistani terrorists continued to target India. It was alsosaid the Government was concerned over the protestby families of the martyrs/ex-servicemen and wouldn’tuse any force on the day of the match, March 19.However, after HP Cricket Association President AnuragThakur called on him, there appears to be a change ofheart. Have the Association meet the families of themartyrs, Singh advised Thakur and let’s find a solution.With practical difficulties in shifting the venue at the11th hour, it is hoped Chief Minister Singh would bailout the BCCI and the nagging suspense is over. If not,neighbouring Delhi is getting prepared as a standbyvenue. Himachal’s loss will be Delhi gain!

UP, Army In Cheating MessWhere is our education system heading? After Bihar,

Uttar Pradesh has hit the headlines with mass cheating inthe Class 12 Board exams in Mathura and Agra. Studentswere seen openly copying and relatives climbing walls tohelp them with chits being passed through windows in aschool, caus ing much embarrassment to theadministration. Nine invigilators and a superintendent ofa school were suspended in Mathura. On the other hand,the Army has had the most absurd way of trying toprevent cheating. Some 1100-odd candidates for therecruitment exam for soldiers on general duty and inclerical and technical categories being held inMuzaffarpur, Bihar were asked to do so in underwears!Its explanation: there were complaints that many takingthe exams were resorting to unfair means through notes,cellphones and Bluetooth devices. The shocking incidenthas forced the Patna High Court to step in, following aPIL. It has sought an explanation from the DefenceMinistry and the Army Regional Office. Wonder how theyput up a defence.—INFA

There lies no doubt tothe fact that nothing hasbeen more regressive forIndia than its policy of res-ervations. This policy isnothing but a means of re-verse discrimination. Oftenan individual belonging to"backward" class super-sedes his "privileged"counterpart in the sphereof education or service, de-spite having an inferiortrack record. In the pro-cess, not only does the cri-terion of eligibility gets rel-egated in the background,the pernicious practicealso gives rise to a class of

"neo-Brahmins". Social jus-tice and equality cannot beachieved through such poli-cies. Rather it only gives riseto resentment and ill-feeling.

Reserving seats for the"deprived" is as ridiculousas reserving berths in theIndian cricket team for play-ers of Ranji teams like Goaor Tripura just because theyfail to make it to the nationalside. Not only would theperformance of the teamsuffer, it would also meangross injustice to the eli-gible players (who wouldhave to make room for thereserved ones). Similarlynational interests indeedget assaulted if ineligiblepersonnel are allowed todon responsible posts. It isindeed sad to note that af-

ter causing Himalayan dam-age to the society throughthe reservation policy prac-ticed in educational institu-tions and Governmentorganisations, attempts arebeing made to extend thislaggard mindset to the Pri-vate sector as well.

Thus, irrespective ofcaste affiliation, people de-prived of proper educationdue to financial constraintsshould be given free accessto schools and colleges andbooks. But this is where thepositive action should end.Admission to higher educa-tion and employmentshould be based solely onmerit.

Dear Editor,I would like to state a

few words about the im-portance of a regionalparty for a smooth statelike Arunachal Pradesh.The great sons of the soilnamely, Lt Bakin Pertin, LtTomo Riba, Lt Oken Lego,formed the Peoples PartyOf Arunachal Pradesh as aregional Party of NEFA In1976. The principle reasonto remain in a regionalparty is that there will notbe any confrontation withthe national parties and itmay extent cordial relation-ship to National Parties forthe interest of the peopleof Arunachal Pradesh.

My heartfelt congratu-lations to Kamen Ringuwho has understood theimportance of a regionalparty for ArunachalPradesh and have kept theflame burning since hisjoining in the party alongwith his wife Gumri Ringuand few others. in spite ofmany unsuccessful elec-tion results in the parlia-mentary and assemblyelections, my friend Kamen

Ringu had never changedhis political colour, as hehad the firm belief and havebeen convinced that a re-gional party is the only al-ternative for party system inthe state, in maintaining acordial relationship with thenational parties as the stateis solely dependent on cen-tral assistance.

I also take this opportu-nity to congratulate Honor-able Chief Minister KhalikoPul and welcome him andhis team for landing in anappropriate ground, thePPA. I would like to suggestand wish that our youngpoliticians of ArunachalPradesh should have astrong will and ideologicalcommitment to serve thestate and the party. I haveobserved and felt that theNational Parties do nothave a very good opinionon the integrity and deter-mination in the ideologicalcommitments of our youngleaders, which is not a mat-ter of honor to the tribalpeople of the state. And Ihope Honorable Chief Min-ister and his team of ener-

getic legislators will main-ta in the dignity of thePeoples Party of ArunachalPradesh.

Therefore I would like toadvice young legislatorsand leaders and party work-ers of PPA to follow the prin-ciples and ideology ofKamen Ringu, Chairmanworking committee PPA andimbibe his qualities of de-termination, perseverance,and the selfless sacrifice forthe state as a whole and theparty in particular.

Las tly, I offer myprayers to the great soulsof all the PPA leaders andworkers who are not with ustoday to celebrate this greatoccasion and I also thankalmighty Donyi Polo, forblessing me with longer lifeto see the party in poweragain. While rejoicing thisgreat moment, I pray andwish that God almighty tobless the offsprings of thestate with more energy andwisdom to lead the state inthe right direction.

Yours,Dagmo Jini

Dear Editor,Although the new Chief

Minister who is highly ex-perienced and gutsy is mak-ing all the right noises byrefusing to dilute the peoplecentric moves of GovernorJP RajKhowa, however themillion dollar question stillis will Pul withstand thepressure tactics and black-mailing habits of our Legis-lators, once the full fledgedCabinet Body and a jumbojets sized Parliamentary Sec-retaries are sworn in?

To prove himself differ-ent from his other predeces-sors, the first and foremostthing Pul needs to do is todo away with the policy ofappeasement and divideand rule. He should set themotto that it is the qualityand not the quantity of ten-ure which is more important.Late Tomo Riba of PPA, al-though ruled the State foronly 46 days yet he is lovedand remembered for sayinga big no to corruption inpublic life and gifted the

State with permanent assetssuch as Shergaon Applefarm, Kamba Diary farm, amonth extra salary for thepeople in uniform, no Chullatax. Similarly, late Khandu’sshort rule floodedArunachal’s markets withhard cash and brought hugedevelopment packages es-pecially in road and powersector. Therefore, takingcues from such leaders Pulhas not only the herculeantask of balancing the needsand aspiration of differentethnics groups and regionsbut more importantly ad-dressing the mandatoryconstitutional requirementssuch as early and timebound constitution of LokAyukta, State Human RightCommission, Right to Foodand Security Act, address-ing the Boundary disputeswith Assam and more impor-tantly the volatile Chakma-Hajong issue.

Unlike his predecessorshe should refrain from theculture of backdoor ap-

pointment and direct allGroup A and Group B postincluding non gazetted postof JEs and JTs to State Pub-lic Service Commission.The modus of operandihitherto adopted by ourpolitical bosses to absorbtheir kit and kin is by the il-legal method of one time re-laxation of RR and throughdepartmental recruitmentprocess. Such a practice isviolative of AP Public Ser-vice Limitation Act as wellas directives issued by theMinistry of Personal andPublic Grievances whichArunachal had adopted in2009 wherein all category ofjobs with pay scale of Rs.9200 and above falls underGroup B category andtherefore to be fil ledthrough APPSC only. Mak-ing the dysfunctional andparalyzed APPSC func-tional by immediate fillingup of the two posts of chair-man and a member is the ur-gent call of the hour as wellas the mandatory constitu-

tional duty of the Govern-ment. Similarly, the StateInformation Commission isyet to get its Chairman.

All said and done,Pul’s way ahead is full ofstress and strains and timealone will tell if the peoplewho are the ultimate judgeaccepts his leadershipwith hugs and roses or heis leveled as yet anothertime pass CM. The shortyet effective governancedelivered by J P Rajkhowaduring a short period ofPresident Rule has set avery high level of stan-dards and expectationamongst the people andthereby questioning theeffectiveness and neces-sity of having a democrati-cally elected system ofgovernance vis-à-vispresidential form of gov-ernance specially in a cashstarved and highly sensi-tive border State likeArunachal Pradesh.

Yours,A Concerned Citizen

Give the younglegislators a chance

Dear Editor,After lots of specula-

tions, manoeuvring anduncertainty, the Arunachalpolitical situation seems tobe heading towards a stablegovernment formationwhich will fulfil the hopesand aspirations of thepeople of the state. But theneed of the hour now is toform a ministry comprisingof experienced and sea-soned legislators which willalso include new faces whoare young, energetic andhighly qualified legislators,who will serve the peoplewith full dedication and sin-cerity. Thus, giving them alarger platform and chanceto meet the aspirations ofthe youth of Arunachal,which comprises a sizeablepopulation.

Dear Editor,P.A. Sangma's sudden

demise has led to a colossalgrief amongst the citizens ofIndia and in particular here,in the North East. We payour allegiance to a man ofsuch honor.

It is gratifying to learnhow a simple man from theremote suburb of a distantDistrict of Meghalaya,strived and materialized hisdream of serving his people,as a social worker and as aLeader. His Journey from the1970s as the Vice- Presidentof the Pradesh Youth con-gress in Meghalaya to thefight for the post of the 13thPresident of India is a note-worthy. His feat of becom-ing a nine- time member andthe speaker in the LokSabha, and his various otherachievements are those thatneeds to be narrated, ex-claimed and celebrated. Hisresignation from the party,

NCP, to which he was one ofthe founding member in2012, after having faced op-position from Sharad Pawarwas of high morale. Thoughhe did not win the Presti-gious Presidential Post, hewas successful in making thefirst move of manifesting aleader from the marginalisedsection.

Perennially smiling, hewas indeed a man of masses,relentlessly thriving for theamelioration of themarginalised sections. Hewas exemplary in makingour suffocated voices reachthe Parliament in the Capital.

In all the fortunatechances I've had to visit himthrough my Dad, who washis good friend and abrother. My Dad consideredhim as his guide and wouldoften remark of his intelli-gence. They would engagein debates and discussionsand there I learnt what a

man of profound knowl-edge he was. Sangma talkedponderously about Interna-tional Politics, Society andGovernance. He was of arighteous kind and his lastwords to me, when I met hima year back was, urging achange in the Political Sys-tem in the North East andwishing more young edu-cated leaders to come for-ward in bringing a changein the society.

I hope his works will notgo futile and would bevaloured in all the years tocome.

We pay our awe and la-ment over our loss; losing asignificant man like you.May your family findstrength at such difficulthours.

Rest In peace, Sir.Yours,

Poverty is thebiggest challenge for

environment: PMNEW DELHI, Mar 4: As-serting India's stand in tack-ling climate change, PrimeMinister Narendra Modi to-day said same set of rulescannot be applied to allcountries "uniformly" evenas he identified poverty asthe biggest challenge forenvironment.

PM Modi said some-times the concern for envi-ronment was defined "nar-rowly" while making a strongpitch for "climate justice",addressing a conference onsustainable developmentwhich was attended byChief Justice of India TSThakur among others.

Suggesting a balancedapproach in combating cli-mate change, he said everycountry has its own chal-lenges and ways to dealingwith them and "If we applythe same set of rules for allcountries and for all people,it will not work."

Noting that a path be-comes sustainable, if allstakeholders are benefited,he also added a word ofcaution saying the stakeshould be natural and inher-ent and it "cannot bestretched to include thosewho may be working withulterior motives."

"India has been main-taining that the developedcountries have been histori-cal polluters and theyshould contribute more toaddress the problem of cli-mate change," the PrimeMinister said.

"The rule of law dictatesthat no one can be punishedfor another's misdeed. Weneed to recognise that thereare many people who areleast responsible for theproblem of climate change.They are also the peoplewho still wait for access tomodern amenities," he said.

He said the poor, vulner-able and marginalizedgroups have fewer re-sources to cope with climatedisasters and that theirpresent and future genera-tions are also burdened bylaws and agreements onenvironment. PTI

Congress is in power in Assam and Kerala while theBJP fancies itself as being a top contender in Assam inalliance with AGP and some small outfits. The BJP isseeking to emerge as a major player in West Bengal, wherethere are possibilities of Congress and Left joining handsdirectly or indirectly to take on Trinamool Congress.

Like in 2011, West Bengal will have polls spreadover six phases. The first phase to be held in Left wingextremism affected areas will have two polling dates--April 4 and April 11. The other phases will be held onApril 17, 21, 25, 30 and May 5. Assam will go to polls intwo phases on April 4 and 11.

APCC chief blamed...(From P-1) "After all these years what I have done for Congress Party, this is what I

get as a reward!" Yachuli MLA said.Meanwhile, APCC in the wake of merger of the Congress MLAs into People's Party of

Arunachal Pradesh (PPA), blamed the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh for the politicalturmoil in the state.

Giving the political developments in the state after formation of BJP-led NDA Govern-ment at the Centre in a chronological manner, APCC vice president TC Tok stated that"All the hopes of the people of Arunachal has been killed by the Governor at the behestof the BJP and RSS."

"These leaders who have deserted the Congress party have cheated and betrayedthe mandate of the people of the State," the APCC vice president said.

"PPA is just a stopover for them. After taking oxygen from it, they will go to BJP," Tokopined.

He asked every member to concentrate in the party works and appeal to the peoplewho had given their mandate to the Congress, not to fear or lose hope.

Former minister and veteran party leader Tako Dabi while sharing his views said,"Congress must play a constructive and strong role as an opposition".

"In the ocean of democracy, many governments come and go. But we should not bediscouraged and demoralized for such ups and downs, said former minister BosiramSiram. He encouraged the party cadres to stand united and fight back.

Tara Bagang, Chairman APCC Kissan Cell opined for educating the leaders and thecandidates about the party principles and ideologies before giving them tickets for elec-tion. Kissan Cell chairman said the party is still expecting justice from the Supreme Courtin this matter.

Conveying the message of CLP Leaders Nabam Tuki and APCC president Padi Richo,who directed the party workers and cadres to remain strong, united and vigilant, partyDisciplinary Action Committee chairman cum general secretary Tamchi Tahar said themerging of the 30 Congress MLAs with PPA is purely illegal and against the 10th sched-ule of the Indian Constitution.

"Whatever verdict the court pronounces, the party will abide by it," he said.

CM seeks corrective...(From P-1) Being inquired, Pul was also informed by the hospital authority that medi-

cal expenses were covered in a package, as per the agreement between insurance com-pany and the hospital.

The package may include consultation fee, medicine, cabin charges, food and allother charges during the treatment.

But despite all these benefits, patients may be charged separately because certainservices may not be covered under the insurance scheme, informed the authority.

Pointing out the lacunae, the Chief Minister questioned the effectiveness of thescheme if it does not cover the entire medical expenses.

"The benefit of the scheme should be complete, and not in piecemeal manner. If thereare any shortcomings with the schemes, the hospital authority should suggest correc-tive measures, " the Chief Minister said.

"Once they accept it, they should implement it in its totality. The scheme is for poorpeople and not for the benefit of the hospital," he said.

The Chief Minister, however, termed the scheme as a novel initiative and assured tocarry it forward.

Govt. enhances wages...(From P-1) In a separate meeting with the Department of Water Supply and Sanitation,

the CM stressed on urgent improvement of water supply in the capital city. He opined foridentifying alternative source of water like boring well to extract ground water in everysector to meet the water requirement.

Water tanks could be constructed to store the ground water, he suggested. The CM,however, directed the department to work out the expected recurring expenditure of suchprojects.

While asking to plan out their strategies on short term, mid-term and long term basis,Pul pitched for preparation of comprehensive and result oriented projects. On the sideline, he stressed for maintaining the existing infrastructure.

Giving special emphasis on water supply in far flung interior villages, the CM in-structed the department concerned to ensure that every household in every village getssufficient drinking water facility.

During discussions with the department of UD, CM reiterated for taking the cleanArunachal Campaign on a holistic manner.

While directing for identifying waste dumping grounds in all the urban towns, Pulasked UD Department to do a detailed feasibility study for setting up solid waste man-agement and treatment plants in all urban towns. He also directed to identify suitablelands for construction of burial grounds in all the urban towns across the state.

PA Sangma passes...(From P-1) In his condolence message to former Union Minister of State Agatha

Sangma, daughter of the veteran leader, Pul said "with profound grief, I on behalf of thepeople of Arunachal write to share the grief of losing a true son of the soil, a patriot, aveteran politician of all time, and a man who led from the front and left behind a legacy tocherish".

"In his demise, we have lost a great leader, a tall political figure who served thecountry in different capacities. Besides, proving his calibre in governance by holding thehelms of Meghalaya as Chief Minister, the Congress and later Nationalist Congress Partyand National People's Party stalwart went on becoming the first North-eastern to hold thecoveted chair of Speaker of Lok Sabha" Pul wrote.

The Governor of Arunachal Pradesh JP Rajkhowa has also condoled the demise offormer Lok Sabha Speaker P.A. Sangma.

The Governor said that Late Sangma was an outstanding parliamentarian and a pro-found statesman who made immense contribution towards the nation in various capaci-ties during his long and distinguished career.

Former MLA Ngurang Pinch has condoled his death. Pinch termed late Sangma as afatherly figure and said his death has created huge vacuum in the minds of every Indian.The Arunachal unit of Nationalist Congress Party observed two minute silence as a markof respect to the departed soul. "He was co-founder of NCP. He was one of the bestparliamentarians. His contribution for national development in all aspect will be alwaysremembered by the people of India," the NCP stated.

The Bharatiya Janata party, Arunachal Pradesh remembered late Sangma as down-to-earth and said his affable nature endeared him to many.

North Korea leader tells military to be readyto use nuclear weapons at any time

ADEN, Mar 04: At least 16people, including four In-dian nurses, were killedwhen gunmen opened fireFriday at an elderly carehome in Yemen`s mainsouthern city of Aden, se-curity officials said.Four gunmen stormed thefacility in Aden`s SheikhOthman district, killing aguard before tying up andshooting employees, theofficials told AFP.

Dozens of stricken fam-ily members arrived at thesite following the attack,witnesses said.

One official said the at-tackers were "extremists"and blamed the Islamic Stategroup, which has been gain-ing ground in Aden in re-cent months.

The dead nurses wereIndian nuns, the officialssaid, adding that the rest ofthose killed were Yemenisworking at the home.

No group claimed re-sponsibility for Friday`s at-tack, the first of its kind inYemen, where the interna-tionally-recognised govern-ment is grappling with anIran-backed rebellion onone side and a growingjihadist presence on theother.

President AbedrabboMansour Hadi has declaredAden Yemen`s temporarycapital as Sanaa remains inthe hands of the Huthirebels and their allies sincethey seized it in September2014.

Further eas t, a sus -pected drone strike hit avehicle carrying al Qaedamilitants in Shabwa prov-ince, killing all four on board,local government and tribal

sources said Friday.Only the United States

is known to operate armeddrones over Yemen.

Al Qaeda and IS havestepped up attacks in Adendespite the efforts of thegovernment and its backersin a Saudi-led coalition bat-tling the Huthis and theirallies to secure it.

However, most of thejihadists` attacks have tar-geted coalition forces and

pro-government Yemenitroops.

Late on Thursday, gun-men in Aden shot deadHussein al-Wuhayshi, aleader of local pro-govern-ment militia formed in thesouth in 2011 to fight Qaeda,along with his brother, a se-curity official said.

On Monday, suicide carbombing in Sheikh Othmanhit a gathering of loyalistforces killing four people

and wounding five others,according to a security offi-cial.

A suicide bombing lastmonth in Aden claimed byIS killed 14 soldiers.

The rebels controlledYemen`s main port city formonths before governmentloyalists pushed them outin July.

Because of the unrestgripping Aden, Hadi himselfand many senior officials inhis government spend mostof their time in Riyadh.

Qaeda has been well-es-tablished for years in southYemen, but now faces com-petition from IS, which hasmounted a series of deadlyattacks, particularly in Aden.

In December, suspectedjihadists blew up a smalldeserted Catholic church inAden, completely destroy-ing the building which wasattached to a cemetery andbuilt in the 1950s whenAden was a British protec-torate.

More than 6,000 peoplehave been killed in theYemeni conflict with morethan 80 percent of the popu-lation in dire need of food,medicine or other basic ne-cessities, according to theUnited Nations. AFP

SEOUL, Mar 04: NorthKorean leader Kim Jong Unordered his country to beready to use its nuclearweapons at any time and toturn its military posture to"pre-emptive attack" modein the face of growingthreats from its enemies,state media said on Friday.

The comments, carriedby the North's offic ia lKCNA news agency, markeda further escalation of ten-sion on the Korean penin-sula after the U.N. SecurityCouncil on Wednesday im-posed harsh new sanctionsagainst the isolated state forits nuclear programme.

Kim made the commentsas he supervised military ex-ercises involving newly de-veloped rocket launchers,KCNA reported. It did notmention the date of thedrills but said the new weap-ons had South Korea withinrange.

South Korea's defenceministry said on ThursdayNorth Korea launched sev-eral projectiles off its coastinto the sea up to 150kilometres (90 miles) away,an apparent response to theU.N. sanctions.

Kim said North Koreashould "bolster up (its)nuclear force both in qual-ity and quantity" and

stressed "the need to getthe nuclear warheads de-ployed for national defencealways on standby so as tobe fired any moment,"KCNA quoted him as say-ing.

"Now is the time for usto convert our mode of mili-tary counteraction towardsthe enemies into an preemp-tive attack one in every as-pect."

North Korea has previ-ously threatened pre-emptive attacks on its en-emies including South Ko-rea, Japan and the UnitedStates. Military expertsdoubt it has yet developedthe capability to fire a long-range missile with aminiaturised warhead to de-liver a nuclear weapon as faras the United States.

"We urge North Koreato refrain from provocativeactions that aggravatetensions and instead focuson fulfilling its interna-tional obligations andcommitments," said Com-mander Bill Urban, a U.S.Defense Departmentspokesman, responding tothe report.

A U.S.-based think tanksaid recent commercial sat-ellite imagery showed newactivity at North Korea'sSohae Satellite Launching

Station that could be prepa-rations for a rocket-enginetest.

Johns HopkinsUniversity 's 38 Northproject, which monitorsNorth Korea, said an imagefrom Feb. 21 showed an un-usual convoy of trucks nearthe vertical engine teststand.

"One possibility is thatthese vehicles are returningfrom a delivery of supplies,fuel, or even engine compo-nents for testing to thestand," the report said.

North Korea had takens teps a t Sohae in pas tmonths to better concealpreparations for spacelaunches and engine tests,making identifying prepara-tions for launches usingcommercial satellite imagesmore difficult, 38 North said.

South Korean PresidentPark Geun-hye on Thursdayrepeated a stern warningagainst the North to aban-don its nuclear ambitionsand said should would workto "end tyranny" by theNorth's leader.

Last month, Seoul sus-pended the operation of ajointly run factory projectwith North Korea that hadbeen the rivals' last remain-ing venue for regular inter-action.

Greenland ice sheet getting darker, ups melting risk: studyNEW YORK, Mar 04:Greenland’s snowy sur-face has been gettingdarker over the past twodecades, absorbing moreheat from the Sun and in-creasing snow melt, a newstudy using satellite datahas found.

The results show thetrend is likely to continue,with the surface’sreflectivity, or albedo, de-creasing by as much as 10per cent by the end of thecentury.

While soot blowing infrom wildfires contributesto the problem, it has notbeen driving the change,the study found. The realculprits are two feedbackloops created by the melt-ing itself. One of those

processes is not visible tothe human eye, but it is hav-ing a profound effect, re-searchers said.

The results have globalimplications. Fresh melt-wa-ter pouring into the oceanfrom Greenland raises sealevel and could affect oceanecology and circulation,they said.

“You do not necessar-ily have to have a ‘dirtier’snowpack to make it dark. Asnowpack that might look‘clean’ to our eyes can bemore effective in absorbingsolar radiation than a dirtyone,” said Marco Tedescofrom Columbia University inUS.

“Overall, what matters,it is the total amount of so-lar energy that the surface

absorbs. This is the realdriver of melting,” saidTedesco. During a warmsummer with clear skies andlots of solar radiation pour-ing in, the surface starts tomelt. As the top layers offresh snow disappear, oldimpurities, like dust fromerosion or soot that blewin years before, begin toappear, darkening the sur-face.

A warm summer can re-move enough snow to allowseveral years of impuritiesto concentrate at the surfaceas surrounding snow layersdisappear.

At the same time, as thesnow melts and refreezes,the grains of snow getlarger. This is because themeltwater acts like glue,

sticking grains togetherwhen the surface refreezes,researchers said.

The larger grains createa less reflective surface thatallows more solar radiationto be absorbed, they said.The impact of grain size onalbedo – the ratio betweenreflected and incoming solarradiation – is strong in theinfrared range, where hu-mans cannot see, but satel-lite instruments can detectthe change.

“It is a complex sys-tem of interaction be-tween the atmosphere andthe ice sheet surface. Ris-ing temperatures are pro-moting more melting, andthat melting is reducingalbedo, which in turn is in-creasing melting,” said

Tedesco.The study used satel-

lite data to compare sum-mertime changes inGreenland’s albedo from1981 to 2012. The first de-cade showed little change,but starting around 1996,the data show that due todarkening, the ice beganabsorbing about 2 per centmore solar radiation per de-cade.

At the same time, sum-mer near-surface tempera-tures in Greenland in-creased at a rate of about0.74 degrees Celsius perdecade, allowing moresnow to melt and fuel thefeedback loops.

The findings werepublished in TheCryosphere journal. PTI

Tibetan schoolboy who sethimself alight dies in India

NEW DELHI, MAR 04: ATibetan schoolboy living inIndia has died four days aftersetting himself on fire to pro-test Chinese rule, the hospi-tal treating him said Friday.

Dorje Tsering died froma cardiac arrest late onThursday at the hospitalwhere he was taken after set-ting himself ablaze at a hous-ing settlement for Tibetanrefugees in the northern cityof Dehradun on Monday.

"He died las t nightaround nine," hospita lspokeswoman PoonamDhanda told AFP, refusingto comment further.

The 16-year-old saidfrom his hospital bed he hada "strong determination todo something for T ibetsince my childhood", ac-cording to a translation fromFree Tibet.

The London-based ad-vocacy group said the teen-ager was the eighth Tibetanto mount such a protestoutside China.

His death came after an18-year-old Tibetan monk in

China self-immolated onMonday to protes tBeijing`s ironclad control ofthe Himalayan region.

Radio Free Asia (RFA),which is funded by the USgovernment, said themonk`s action was the firstsuch protest in China thisyear, and brought the total

number in the country to 144.Tens of thousands of Ti-

betan refugees live in Indiansettlements, the biggest ofwhich is in southernKarnataka state.

Their presence and that ofexiled spiritual leader the DalaiLama are an irritant in relationsbetween India and China. AFP

Canada PM, provinces setoutlines of carbon pricing deal

VANCOUVER, Mar 04:Canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau persuadedthe country's 10 provinceson Thursday to accept theconcept of putting a priceon carbon but agreed thespecific details could beworked out later.

The compromise dealwas unveiled at the end of atough day's talks with theprovinces, many of whichhad signalled their opposi-tion to the idea of Ottawaimposing a s ingle priceacross the country.

Instead, the two sidesagreed that mechanisms forpricing carbon would takeinto account each province'sspecific circumstances. Thetwo sides will present moredetailed proposals at a meet-ing in October.

Trudeau's Liberal Partywon the election last Octo-ber on a pledge to do muchmore than the previous Con-servative government tocurb emissions of greenhousegases, which are climbing asfirms exploit Canada's vastcrude-rich oil sands.

"There will be differentapproaches but pricing car-bon is part of the solutionthat this country and all ofits premiers will put for-ward," Trudeau told a newsconference.

The provinces, whichenjoy significant jurisdic-tion over the environment,were wary of Ottawa's inten-

tions and say they shouldbe allowed to cut carbonemissions their own way.

The federal governmentcan unilaterally impose atax, although Trudeau hasbeen pushing for a pan-Ca-nadian solution.

"There was a momentwhen the conversation wasfrank," Trudeau said, pro-moting Quebec PremierPhilippe Couillard to breakinto a broad smile.

Asked whether a prov-ince could avoid a set pricefor carbon

Trudeau said the matterwould be among those dis-cussed over the next sixmonths.

Saskatchewan PremierBrad Wall, speaking to re-porters after the talks, saidhe believed his province'sexisting carbon capture andstorage initiative wouldcount as a pricing mecha-nisms.

"It's a price on carbonfor sure," he said, adding:"If there is a notion thatcomes forward that this(agreement) is some sort oflicense to pursue a nationalcarbon tax, I will be in dis-agreement with that."

The previous federalgovernment had pledged tocut greenhouse gas emis-sions to 30 percent below2005 levels by 2030, a targetthat official figures show isout of reach in the absenceof radical measures.

BARCELONA, Mar 4:Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick as FC Barcelona tookanother step towards the LaLiga title and set a new Span-ish football record of 35games unbeaten in the pro-cess with a 5-1 win at nine-man Rayo Vallecano onThursday.

Two goals in as manyminutes midway throughthe first-half killed the gameas a contest as Ivan Rakiticand Messi netted beforeDiego Llorente saw astraight red card for a highchallenge on Rakitic.

Messi completed hishat-trick after Manucho'sconsolation for Rayo.

Luis Suarez also misseda penalty after ManuelIturra was also sent-off forthe hosts before ArdaTuran rounded off the scor-ing with his first Barca goal.

Barca now lead AtleticoMadrid by eight points withReal Madrid a further fourpoints adrift in third with 11games remaining.

"We played very welland when we are at thislevel in terms of attitude andintensity, it is very hard forthe opponents," said Barcaboss Luis Enrique.

Rayo were unbeaten intheir seven league gamesthemselves and forced

Barca 'keeper Claudio Bravointo a smart early save asthe Chilean internationalflew to his right to turn awayAdrian Embarba's drive.

However, Rayo's highdefensive line was offeringplenty of encouragement tothe European championsand it seemed only a matterof time before Barca tookadvantage as Carlos madea good save at his near postto deny Messi.

The opener arrived inunusual fashion for Barca,

though, as an aimless ballpunted into the box wasdropped by Carlos andRakitic was on hand tosweep into an empty net

The visitors ' secondtwo minutes la ter wasstraight out of the Barcatextbook, though, as a bril-liant one-two betweenNeymar and Messi freed theArgentine to slot home fromclose range.

Llorente let Rayo's frus-tration boil over three min-utes before the break when

he lunged in studs up onRakitic and was rightlyshown a straight red card.

Messi piled on furtherpunishment for the hostswhen he casually rolled theball home after Suarez hadsmashed against the postsoon after the restart.

Rayo showed someresistence as Manuchonodded home his fourthgoal in three game fromBebe's knockdown.

Yet, the hosts momen-tum was short-lived as they

were reduced to nine menwhen Iturra chopped downSergio Busquets inside thearea after Neymar's free-kickhad come back off thecrossbar.

Messi passed up thechance to seal his hat-trickto help Suarez in his battlewith Cristiano Ronaldo to beLa Liga's top scorer.

However, Barca's awfulrecord from the spot thisseason continued as Carlosmade amends for his earliererror with a fine save.

The five-time WorldPlayer of the Year had towait just three minutes moreto get his third of the nightas Messi sauntered throughon goal before slotting pastthe advancing Carlos.

And Turan rounded offa perfect evening for LuisEnrique's men when heheaded home from JeremyMathieu's cross five min-utes from time.

Rayo are now just abovethe drop zone on goal dif-ference as Granada strucktwice in the final 20 minutesthrough Youssef El Arabiand Isaac Success to beatSporting Gijon 2-0.

Real Betis also easedtheir relegation fears as theytook advantage of anEspanyol side ravaged bygastroenteritis to win 3-0.

MIRPUR, Mar 4:Bangladesh captainMashrafe Mortaza hintedthat he may end his interna-tional career after the 2016season with the ICC WorldTwenty20 in all likelihoodhis last global event.

Asked if he has set anytargets like playing the 2017ICC Champions Trophy or2018 World T20, Mashrafesaid that he would not liketo stick around for that long.

"I don't think so. Onething is for sure, I will notbe playing for a long time.By the grace of Almighty, ifI am fit, then I intend to playthis whole 2016. After that Idon't think there is any bigglobal event for a longtime," 32-year-old Mashrafesaid during an interactionafter a practice session atSher-e-Bangla Stadium.

For him a career deci-sion, big or small has al-ways been instinctive.

"But from a very youngage, I have been an instinc-

tive person. I have neverever treaded the usual fixedpath. I live for the moment.Yes, whenever I take the bigdecision, my teammates willknow about it before myfamily as it is a cricketingdecision. When I take anydecision, will make sure thatit is convenient for every-one," the skipper said.

Mashrafe is the onlyplayer in this team, who hasplayed more than 15 yearsof international cricket andthat is the reason why like abig brother, he shares a finerapport with the next batchof seniors like Shakib AlHasan, Tamim Iqbal andMushfiqur Rahim.

"I guess the biggest rea-son is that I have started 15years back. Some of the se-niors like Tamim, Shakib andMushfiqur only came intothe side when I was alreadyin the middle phase of mycareer. My biggest pluspoint is that I share a finerelationship with everyone.

The revival of Bangladeshcricket happened as nowplayers are empoweredmore.

"They have a sense ofresponsibility in them. Evenif they fail 10 matches in trotbut the intent is to win forBangladesh, we stick withthat player" a proudMashrafe said.

As a senior statesman,Mashrafe wants theBangladeshi fans not totreat this game as a "war"even though the emotionalquotient runs high.

"Actually emotion issomething which is difficultto check but a cricket matchis not war for sure. Oneshould know after match, allthe players stay in samehotel, chat with each other,exchange pleasantries.

"So I personally don'tlike equating cricket withwar. In Indian team, Yuvrajis a close friend, I share goodrapport with Harbhajan,"Mashrafe said.

You wanted suspense, now you've got it: GuardiolaMUNICH, Mar 4: Germanfans have finally got theirwish for a more excitingBundesliga season and thetitle race will really hot upwhen leaders BayernMunich lock horns withBorussia Dortmund on Sat-urday.

Bayern's shock 2-1 de-feat by Mainz 05 at theAllianz Arena in midweekmeans a home victory forsecond-placed Dortmund atthe weekend would lift themwithin two points of theBavarians with ninematches to go.

Such is the worldwideinterest in the top of thetable clash, it will be broad-cast to 208 countries.

"Everyone wantedmore suspense in theBundesliga. Now you haveit so all is well," Bayerncoach Pep Guardiola toldreporters.

"We are not perfect.Sometimes you have to lose

to understand what youneed to do in order to be-come an even better team."

Bayern, who are chas-ing a record fourth con-secutive Bundesliga crown,had an 11-point lead earlierin the season.

The defeat by Mainzand a 2-2 draw at Juventusin their Champions Leaguelast-16 first leg, after lead-ing 2-0, have raised alarmbells among the supporters.

"The results againstJuve and Mainz were notgood but our performanceswere," said Guardiola whois leaving at the end of theseason to join ManchesterCity.

Bayern's injury prob-lems have receded in recentweeks following the returnof winger Franck Riberyand defender MedhiBenatia.

Former Dortmund for-ward Mario Goetze may haveto wait a bit longer to make

his comeback despite beingfit again following a lengthyabsence.

"Mario has to keep do-ing what he is doing," saidGuardiola. "The coach de-cides who plays.

"He has to be ready tocome on when I say 'now'.We have seven forwardsand not everyone canplay.

"He was out injuredfor a long time and that isthe only reason he hasnot yet played," addedGuardiola.

UEFA to introduce Goal-Line Technologyfor Champions League final

LONDON, Mar 4: UEFAwill introduce goal-line tech-nology to its competitionsin time for this season'sChampions League andEuropa League finals, Euro-pean football's governingbody announced on Friday.

A decision to bring inthe technology (GLT) intime for Euro 2016 and fornext season's ChampionsLeague had already beenannounced in January, butwill now also be in place forthe Champions League finalin Milan on May 28 and theEuropa League showpiecein Basel, Switzerland, on

May 18.The technology, which

determines whether the ballhas completely crossed theline, is already used in theEnglish Premier League,Italy's Serie A, the GermanBundesliga and Ligue 1 inFrance.

World governing bodyFIFA also brought it in forthe 2014 World Cup in Bra-zil after a series of success-ful trials.

UEFA confirmed in Janu-ary that GLT would be usedin the European Champion-ship in France in June andJuly and in the Champions

League from next season,and added that it wouldlikely ultimately be extendedto all UEFA competitions.

However, former generalsecretary Gianni Infantino,now the FIFA president, hasadmitted that fitting allgrounds with the necessarytechnology would be a logis-tical headache, particularly ina competition as extensive asthe Europa League.

Even in countries wherethe technology is already inplace, a different system isused in France to that usedin England, Germany andItaly.

Patna Pirates rout Puneri Paltan, enter finals

NEW DELHI, Mar 4: Ridingon impressive shows byPardeep Narwal and RohitKumar, Patna Pirates' routedPuneri Paltan 40-21 to enterthe finals of the Star SportsPro Kabaddi League in NewDelhi on Friday.

Narwal and Kumar werethe star raiders of the matchbut Patna Pirates' defencealso joined the party to wina lop-sided match in thematch.

The Pune side was all-out on three occasions inthe match. The first twocame in the first 12 minutesof the match.

The al l-ou t assau ltlaunched by the Pirates wasso severe that Puneri Paltanliterally lost heart after theytrailed 7-25 at the break.They did come back for abrief period in the secondhalf to inflict an all-out ontheir rivals but that was allthey could manage.

It all started wi thPardeep Narwal targeting

rival skipper ManjeetChhillar with his first raidwith a touch. It was PardeepNarwal's guile versus thePuneri Paltan defence andevery t ime he came uptrumps in the first 15 min-utes.

His 6-point super raidwith four victims and twofor the second all-out wasthe best show by a raidertill date and more impor-tantly it came at a crucialjuncture.

As the Patna Pirates de-fence too started hackingthe rival raiders one after theother the crowd wasstunned and so was PuneriPaltan. They didn't realizewhat exactly hit them.

The match was almostover in the first half itself.Puneri Paltan seemed tohave found out a way for abrief period as ManjeetChhillar came up with threegood tackles to arrest thetop three from Patna Pirates-- Rohit Kumar, Pardeep

Narwal and Manpreet Singhin a row.

That led to the only all-out Puneri Paltan could in-flict. But two successful do-or-die raids by PardeepNarwal and Rohit Kumarbrought the Patna Piratesside back on track.

A super ten for PardeepNarwal before he wasrested with a minor injury,seven to Rohit Kumar witha tackle point and in de-fence Sandeep Narwal (5),Vinod Kumar(4), Sunil (3)and D Suresh Kumar (2)showed the intent wi thwhich they subdued the ri-val attackers.

Puneri Paltan's attackwas so too thless that itnever bothered their rivals.Ajay Thakur scored his firstpoint in the 32nd minute andthat was his only raid point.Surendra Singh failed toopen his account andManjeet Chillar scoring justtwo speaks poorly of theirattack.
