GMCH to have two shifts
to reduce waiting time
Second superspecialty unit to be
functional from February 2022
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, Nov 22:
Tests like MRI, CT scan, X-
ray, ultrasonography, etc., at
Gauhati Medical College and
Hospital (GMCH) will be con-
ducted up to 10 pm from to-
day in a move aimed at reduc-
ing pendency of cases and wait-
ing time for patients.
Health Minister Keshab
Mahanta said earlier the tests
were conducted till around 3
pm. “From today, there will
be two shifts for which addi-
tional manpower has been re-
cruited,” he added.
“Earlier around 30 MRI
tests were conducted in the
two machines at the hospital
daily. The number will now go
up to 60. Similarly, the number
of CT scans per day will go up
to 150 and X-ray to 1,000. The
number of ultrasonographies
in the five existing machines
will go up from 150 to 300 dai-
ly,” he said.
The second shift at the
GMCH will be from 4 pm to
10 pm. “We can now conduct
the tests of outdoor patients
in the morning and take up
those of indoor patients in the
evening,” he said.
Around 2,000 outdoor pa-
tients visit the GMCH daily.
However, the equipment
and machines at emergency
units are functional round-the-
clock. Revealing that opera-
tion theatres (OTs) will also
function in the evening from
today, the minister hoped that
the waiting time for general
surgeries would come down
from a month to around five-
ten days.
Mahanta also informed that
the second superspecialty unit
of the GMCH is likely to be
operational from February
next. A director has been al-
ready appointed for the new
unit to be known as ‘Cardio
and Neuro Centre’.
It will have ten OTs. More-
over, ten departments will be
transferred to the two super-
specialty units.
Mahanta further said work
is on to digitalize the hospital
information system so that
patients can book appoint-
ments for doctors and tests
online. Ultramodern machines
are also being procured for
GMCH, he added.
intensify anti-CAA stir
GUWAHATI, Nov 22:
The Centre’s decision to
repeal three controversial
farm laws following an
over-a-year-long agitation
by agriculturists has giv-
en a fresh impetus to sev-
eral outfits in Assam to
revive the anti-CAA stir.
From All Assam Students’
Union (AASU) to Krishak
Mukti Sangram Samiti
(KMSS), outfits that were at
the forefront of the move-
ment in 2019, to Raijor Dal
(RD) and Assam Jatiya
Parishad (AJP), political out-
fits formed by leaders of the
protests, all are now holding
discussions within their organ-
Assam Police forms SIT to
probe TET exam ‘anomalies’
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, Nov 22: The
Assam Police has formed an
SIT (special investigation
team) to probe the anoma-
lies that had allegedly taken
place in TET examination,
Education Minister Dr Ranoj
Pegu said here today.
Significantly, for the last
few days various screenshots
of WhatsApp messages are
circulating on social media
platforms. The screenshots
showed how a section of mid-
dlemen is communicating
with TET candidates who
took the recent examination.
“The middlemen could
somehow access the data-
base of TET candidates. Now
a number of candidates are
receiving WhatsApp mes-
sages from the gang that is
offering higher marks in the
AASU in talks with NESO and 30
other organisations on how to take
forward the movement through
new strategies
isations and with other groups
to intensify the agitation.
Leaders of these outfits
said the agitation against the
Citizenship (Amendment)
Act, 2019 lost its “mass na-
ture” due to the Covid-19
pandemic, but they asserted
that the decision to repeal the
farm laws has given a push to
their stir.
Several outfits in the
examination on payment,” a
TET candidate told The As-
sam Tribune.
However, Dr Pegu today
refuted the allegation of the
TET website being hacked.
Last month, the CID of As-
sam Police conducted raids in
14 districts and picked up 31
TET teachers and arrested
those who got jobs by pro-
viding forged TET certifi-
cates. Police also arrested six
middlemen in this connection
and seized different docu-
ments and electronic gadg-
ets from their possession.
Police also raided a printing
press that was used for print-
ing forged TET certificates.
The case was initially reg-
istered against 36 teachers
who got appointment in the
BTR area based on forged
documents. According to a
statement issued by the As-
Northeast oppose the CAA
that seeks to grant citizen-
ship to Hindus, Jains, Chris-
tians, Sikhs, Buddhists and
Parsis from Bangladesh, Pa-
kistan and Afghanistan who
have entered India on or be-
fore December 31, 2014,
fearing it will cause demo-
graphic change in the region
that shares long borders with
Bangladesh.
sam Police earlier, these ac-
cused had generated forged
TET certificates as if they
have qualified the examina-
tion and submitted them to
the Director of Education,
Kokrajhar and got appoint-
ment in the schools of BTR.
Sources said that after the
raid, police also collected the
database of all the TET can-
didates who have got ap-
pointment in the period
from 2016 to 2021, from the
education department.
Senior officials of Assam
Police said that as the matter
is under investigation they
will not reveal anything about
the recent developments. At
the same time, they also hint-
ed that during the course of
investigation a number of
TET teachers are likely to
face police questioning in the
days to come.
AASU chief adviser Samu-
jjal Bhattacharya said the de-
cision to repeal the farm
laws was taken because it
was “Narendra Modi gov-
ernment’s injustice to the
people”.
“Now, the Centre has to
repeal the CAA as it is against
the indigenous people of the
Northeast. The AASU and
the North East Students’ Or-
ganisation (NESO) are firm
on opposition to the CAA. It
is related to the question of
the identity of the people of
the region,” Bhattacharya,
also a NESO adviser, said.

Governor
removes DU
Vice-Chancellor
STAFF CORRESPONDENT
DIBRUGARH, NOV 22:
The Governor of Assam in
his capacity as the Chancel-
lor of Dibrugarh University
(DU) removed Prof Ranjit
Tamuli, from the office of the
Vice-Chancellor of DU by an
order today.
Prof Tamuli was suspend-
ed on February 11 by the
Chancellor on allegations of
financial irregularities. The
Governor also constituted a
fact-finding committee then.
The Dibrugarh University
Teachers’ Association, the
then Lahoal MLA Rituparna
Baruah, the Dibrugarh Uni-
versity Officers’ Association
had submitted separate peti-
tions to the Governor level-
ling allegations of financial ir-
regularities and misuse of
power and position against
Prof Tamuli and sought a high-
level inquiry into the matter.

No scientific evidence
backs need for Covid
booster dose: ICMR
NEW DELHI, Nov 22:
There is no scientific evidence
so far to support the need for
a booster vaccine dose against
Covid-19, ICMR Director-
General Dr Balram Bharga-
va said on Monday underlin-
ing the completion of the sec-
ond dose for India’s adult pop-
ulation is the priority for the
government for now.
According to
sources, the
booster dose
issue is likely to
be discussed in
the next meet-
ing of the Na-
tional Technical
Advisory
Group on Im-
munisation in
India (NTAGI).
“Administer-
ing the second
dose of Covid-19 vaccine to
all adult population and en-
suring that not only India but
the entire world gets vacci-
nated is the priority of the
government for now.
“More so, there is no sci-
entific evidence so far to sup-
port the need for a booster
vaccine dose against Covid-
19,” Bhargava told PTI.
On the probability of ad-
ministering a booster dose,
Union Health Minister Man-
sukh Mandaviya recently said
that adequate stocks are avail-
able and the aim is to com-
plete the vaccination of the
target population with two
doses. After that, a decision
on booster dose would be
taken based on expert rec-
ommendation, he had said.
“The government cannot
take a direct decision in such
a matter. When the Indian
Council of Medical Research
and expert team will say that
a booster dose should be giv-
en, we will consider it then,”
he had said, add-
ing that Prime
Minister
Narendra Modi
has always de-
pended on ex-
pert opinion, be
it vaccine re-
search, manu-
facturing or ap-
proval.
According to
officials, around
82 per cent of
the eligible population in In-
dia have received the first
dose of the vaccine while
around 43 per cent have
been fully inoculated.
The total number of Cov-
id-19 vaccine doses adminis-
tered in the country has ex-
ceeded 116.87 crore, accord-
ing to provisional reports till
7 am.
The government has
launched a month-long ‘Har
Ghar Dastak’ campaign for
house-to-house Covid-19
vaccination of those who are
yet to take a dose and for
people whose second dose is
overdue. – PTI

Farm laws: SC panel member to release report after analysing ‘legal consequences’
Centre’s decision on repealing farm laws won’t end agitation, because farmers’ demand to make MSP legal will continue, says Ghanwat
NEW DELHI, Nov 22: Anil
J Ghanwat, part of the three-
member Supreme Court-ap-
pointed committee on farm
laws on Monday said he will
decide on whether to release
the panel’s report after analys-
ing the legal consequences and
claimed that the two other
members have given him the
freedom to take a call.

Tikait; demands talks on MSP
LUCKNOW, Nov 22: Bhar-
tiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader
Rakesh Tikait on Monday hit out
at the government, accusing it
of trying to divide the farmers,
and said it should talk to them to
resolve their issues or else “we
are not going away”.
The farmer leader also said
that Prime Minister Narendra
Modi should give a clear an-
swer on the demand for a law
guaranteeing Minimum Sup-
port Price (MSP) that he had
“supported” when he was the
Chief Minister.

Dengue cases
in Delhi mount
to over 7,100
this year
NEW DELHI, Nov 22:
Dengue cases in Delhi this sea-
son have jumped to over
7,100, with nearly 5,600 of
those being recorded in No-
vember alone, according to a
civic report released on Mon-
day.
On November 15, the city
had recorded a cumulative
total of 5,277 dengue cases,
making it the highest
number of cases of the vec-
tor-borne disease recorded
in the national capital in a
year since 2015.
Nearly 1,850 fresh cases
have been logged in the last
one week. However, no fresh
fatality due to dengue has been
reported.
According to the civic re-
port on vector-borne diseases
released on Monday, a total of
7,128 dengue cases have been
recorded this season till No-
vember 20.
In the previous years, the
total dengue cases reported
were 4431 (2016), 4726
(2017), 2798 (2018), 2036
(2019) and 1072 (2020), as per
the report.
Of the total dengue cases
in Delhi this year, 5,591
were reported in the first 20
days of November. In Octo-
ber, 1,196 cases were re-
ported, the highest dengue
cases count for October in
the last four years.
The total number of cases
this year till November 6 had
stood at 2,708 and the official
death toll due to dengue was
then nine.
A three-year-old girl and a
minor boy are among the
nine persons who have suc-
cumbed to dengue recently.
A 63-year-old male resident
of Rohini had also died due to
dengue. – PTI
Over one-fifth diabetic patients have long-term complications
Strict control of blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol can go a long way in preventing diabetes-related complications
NEW DELHI, Nov 22:
More than one-fifth of diabetic
patients have one or the other
long-term complications like
heart disease, kidney, eye or
nerve problems with conse-
quent disability, experts said,
advising timely screening so
that these can be detected early
and managed to prevent and
delay their consequences.

The panel, after studying
the three farm laws and con-
sultation with stakeholders,
had submitted its report to the
apex court on March 19.
Since then, the report has
not been made public despite
Ghanwat having requested the
Chief Justice of India in a let-
ter dated September 1 to re-
lease the report in the public
another language,” Tikait said,
addressing a mahapanchayat
called by the Samyukta Kisan
Morcha (SKM), an umbrella
body of the agitating farmer
unions, on the MSP issue.
“They understood in one
year that these laws are harm-
ful and took the laws back. They
did the right thing by with-
drawing the laws but tried to
divide farmers by saying that
they failed to make some peo-
ple understand the laws. We are
some people,” Tikait said.
He was referring to Prime
Minister Modi’s apology while
announcing the decision on
Friday to withdraw the three
Central farm laws against
which the SKM was agitating.

“The struggle will continue.

to farmers about the issues

country and we will tell the
people about your work,” he
said.
Talks between the govern-

over the three farm laws were

including his birthplace in
Mhow, ‘Deeksha Bhoomi’ in
Nagpur and the place where
he breathed his last. The gov-

Dr Madhu advised all dia-

prevent and delay their con-
sequences. Also strict control
of blood sugar, blood pressure

Joint Committee of Parliament
examining the Personal Data

ferred to it for further scruti-

tions.

fortunate decision. Farmers

now they will be exploited as

Jairam Ramesh gave his dis-
sent note to the committee on
the Bill after the panel adopt-
ed its report at its meeting
here. The former Union min-
ister also lauded the democrat-
ic manner in which the panel
functioned under PP Chaud-
hary’s chairmanship for past
four months.
Congress MPs Manish Te-
wari, Gaurav Gogoi and Vivek
Tankha also submitted their
dissent notes, along with
TMC’s Derek O’Brien and
Mohua Moitra and BJD’s
Amar Patnaik.
The report was delayed by
the panel as its former chair-
person Meenakshi Lekhi was
elevated to a minister and
Chaudhary was appointed as
its new chairperson.
The Bill was referred to the

others”.
CEC Chandra, the state-
ment said, stressed on the sig-
nificance of effectiveness and
visibility of the CEOs as they
represent the commission in
the States. “He (CEC) asked
the CEOs to ensure purity of
the electoral roll, availability
of assured minimum facilities
and to ensure better facilities
at all polling booths for all vot-
ers,” it said.

which will be repealed are:

Ramesh shared the informa-
tion that the report has been
adopted by the panel. “Finally,
it is done... There are dissent
notes but that is in the best
spirit of parliamentary democ-
racy. Sadly, such examples are
few and far between under the
Modi regime,” he said.
He said he was compelled
to submit a detailed dissent
note on the Bill as his sug-
gestions were not accepted
and he was unable to convince
the members.
“But that should not detract
from the democratic manner
in which the committee has
functioned. Now, for the de-
bate in Parliament,” Ramesh
tweeted. – PTI
Chandra told the CEOs that
all efforts should be made to
ensure better voter experi-
ence. “CEOs should have reg-
ular interaction with political
parties to redress their griev-
ances, if any,” Chandra said.
The CEC “emphasised”
that new initiatives and best
practices by the CEOs for
election-related activities
should be regularly dissemi-
nated through the media for
enhanced outreach.
He said that the objective
of the conference was to iden-
tify the gaps and challenges to
ensure instructions of the
commission are implement-
ed uniformly in all States and

China will not seek dominance India-made Covaxin on

over Southeast Asia, says Xi UK’s approved travel list
BEIJING, Nov 22: Chi-
nese leader Xi Jinping on
Monday said his country will
not seek dominance over
Southeast Asia or bully its
smaller neighbours, amid
ongoing friction over the
South China Sea.
Xi made the remarks dur-
ing a virtual conference with
the members of the Associa-
tion of Southeast Asian Na-
tions, or ASEAN, held to
mark the 30th anniversary of
relations between China and
the grouping.
Two diplomats said
ASEAN member Myanmar
was not represented at Mon-
day’s meeting after its mili-
tary-installed government
refused to allow an ASEAN
envoy to meet with ousted
leader Aung San Suu Kyi and
other arrested politicians.
Military ruler Gen Min Aung
Hlaing was also barred from
representing his country at
the last ASEAN summit.
China has repeatedly
sought to overcome con-
cerns about its rising power
and influence in the region,
particularly its claim to vir-
tually the entire South China
Sea that overlaps the claims
of ASEAN members Malay-
sia, Vietnam, Brunei and the
Philippines.
“China resolutely opposes
hegemonism and power pol-
itics, wishes to maintain

ture lasting peace in the re-

cording to the official Xinhua
News Agency.
Xi’s remarks came days
after Chinese coast guard
ships blocked and sprayed a
powerful stream of water at
two Philippine boats carry-
ing supplies to troops at a dis-
puted South China Sea shoal
and forced them to turn back.
Philippine President Rod-
rigo Duterte highlighted the
incident in his remarks at the
conference, referring to the
shoal by its Philippine name.
“We abhor the recent
event in the Ayungin Shoal
and view with grave concern
other similar developments.
This does not speak well of
the relations between our
nations and our partnership,”
Duterte said, according to a
statement from his office.
Duterte also called on Chi-
na to respect the 1982 Unit-
ed Nations Convention on the
Law of the Sea which estab-
lishes maritime entitlements
and sovereign rights over
maritime zones, along with a
2016 Hague arbitration rul-
ing that mostly invalidated
China’s South China Sea
claims. China has refused to
recognise the ruling.
“We must fully utilise
these legal tools to ensure
that the South China Sea
remains a sea of peace, sta-
bility and prosperity,” Du-
terte said.
On Monday, the Philippines
redeployed the two supply
boats to provide food to the
marines based at Second
Thomas Shoal aboard a
World War II-era warship
which it deliberately ran
aground in 1999 in a move to
fortify the country’s claim.
Chinese vessels have sur-
rounded the shoal and de-
manded the Philippines tow

ra Madre. – AP
LONDON, Nov 22: India’s
indigenously-made ‘Covaxin’,
one of the vaccines being used
nationwide in the inoculation
campaign against the Covid-
19 pandemic, is on the UK’s
list of approved Covid-19 vac-
cines for international travel-
lers from Monday.
It will benefit more fully vac-
cinated Indians planning trav-
el to the UK without the need
for a pre-departure PCR test
or self-isolation at the address
declared on their compulsory
Passenger Locator Forms.
Like other fully vaccinated
travellers, including those
vaccinated with Covishield,
they are required to pre-book
a PCR or Lateral Flow Test
on arrival in England, to be
taken before the end of day 2.
“From November 22, the
government will recognise vac-
cines on the World Health Or-
ganisation’s Emergency Use
Listing (WHO EUL) at the bor-
der,” the UK’s Department for
Transport confirmed.
“As a result, Sinovac, Si-
nopharm Beijing and Covax-
in will be added to our exist-
ing list of approved vaccine
for inbound travel, benefit-
ting more fully vaccinated
passengers,” it said.
Earlier this month, the
Bharat Biotech manufactured
Covaxin – the second most
used formulation in India - had
received its WHO EUL sta-
tus, resulting in the UK an-
nouncing plans to include it on
its list of approved Covid vac-
cines from November 22.
The WHO Emergency Use
Listing process includes a re-
view of quality, safety and effi-
cacy data performed by WHO,
and many countries such as the
United States, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and Iceland recog-
nise this categorisation. – PTI

LISBON, Nov 22: Envi-

coming the end of electricity
generation from coal in Por-
tugal, though they said Mon-
day the possible conversion
of the country’s last coal-fired
power plant into one that
burns wood pellets would be
a step in the wrong direction.
The Pego plant located 150
kms northeast of the Portu-
guese capital Lisbon stopped
generating over the weekend,
as Portugal became the fourth
European Union country to
stop burning coal to produce
electricity.
Portugal has no coal, oil or
gas, and has been investing
heavily in green energy in
recent decades. “Coal’s dire
economics and public desire
for climate action are driving
faster and faster phase outs
across Europe,” said Kathrin

Russia’s coronavirus deaths
still hover near all-time highs
MOSCOW, Nov 22: Rus-
sia’s coronavirus death toll
was still hovering near all-
time highs Monday, but the
number of new infections
continued to decline.
The state coronavirus task
force reported 1,241 Covid-
19 deaths, down from the
pandemic’s record of 1,254
recorded last week.
The task force also report-
ed 35,681 new confirmed
cases, reflecting a steady
downward trend since early
November when the daily
numbers topped 41,000, the
highest level since the start
of the pandemic.
The surge in deaths comes
amid low vaccination rates
and lax public attitudes in
Russia toward taking precau-
tions. About 40% of Russia’s
nearly 146 million people
have been fully vaccinated,
even though the country ap-
proved a domestically devel-
oped Covid-19 vaccine –
Sputnik V – months before
most of the world.
Russian President
Vladimir Putin said that on
Sunday he got a booster shot
of Sputnik Light, a single-dose
version of Sputnik V that he
received in the spring. Putin
said he was feeling fine and
felt no side effects.
The Kremlin has delegat-
ed the power to introduce
restrictions to regional au-
thorities depending on the
local situation, and many
provinces across Russia
have tightened restrictions,
allowing access to public plac-
es only to those who are im-
munised or test negative for
the virus.
Kazan, the central city of
the Russian province of
Tatarstan, on Monday be-
came the first in Russia to
start demanding QR codes
proving vaccination, past ill-
ness or a negative coronavi-
rus test on public transport.
About 500 people were
denied access to public trans-
port in the city of 1.2 million,
and a conflict between a pas-
senger and controllers led to
a brief suspension of service
on one of the city’s tram
lines.
The Russian Cabinet has
submitted new legislation
that would restrict access to
many public places, as well
as domestic and interna-
tional trains and flights, to
those who have been fully
vaccinated, have recovered
from Covid-19 or are medi-
cally exempt from vaccina-
tion. The legislation, which
is set to take effect early
next year, has already trig-
gered protests across the
country.
In total, Russia’s coronavi-
rus task force has reported
over 9.3 million confirmed
infections and 265,336 COV-
ID-19 deaths, by far the high-
est death toll in Europe. – AP

Taliban bans women from

appearing in TV dramas
NEW DELHI, Nov 22: Women have been banned from
appearing in television dramas in Afghanistan under new
rules imposed by the Taliban-led government, the BBC
reported. Female journalists and presenters have also been
ordered to wear headscarves on screen, although the guide-
lines do not say which type of covering to use.
Reporters say some of the rules are vague and subject to
interpretation, according to the BBC report.
The latest set of Taliban guidelines, which have been
issued to Afghan television channels, features eight new
rules. They include the banning of films considered against
the principles of Sharia, or Islamic law and Afghan values,
while footage of men exposing intimate parts of the body is
prohibited, the report added. – IANS

CHOUDHURY, Chandan Nagar,

Language policy
Sir, – Central minister Dharmen-
dra Pradhan has chortled over the
proposed language policy implicit in
the NEP 2020. Assam is to be a
laboratory for use of the mother
tongue as medium of education. Of
course this won’t apply to English
medium schools for reasons best
left unmentioned.
The big exception is Hindi.
There is no conceivable reason for
that. If it is considered wholesome
for other languages, why has it been
denied the honour? Has it been to
protect it from harm that other
Indian languages might suffer in
consequence? There are dialects of
Hindi like Awadhi, Haryanvi,
Khariboli, Bhojpuri, Bundelkhandi,
Braj and Chhattisgarhi, and so on.
Yet all these are denied the great
honour being given to our common
and garden dialects. Why?
There seems to be a fly in the
and spirit.
The third debt is to one’s par-
ents. Parents take great pains in
fostering and educating their chil-
dren. Mother is the first teacher of
man. The Vedas proclaims, Matri
ointment. Is the ultimate aim to
unloosen the links among them and
displace Assamese from the place it
had acquired through nearly a
century of setbacks and grim
struggle? Eventually, it will lead to
fragmentation of the Assamese
nationality and its dissolution. The
purpose seems to be political rather
than educational. Yours etc.,
HIREN GOHAIN, Nijarapar Road,
Guwahati.
Farm laws
Sir, – The BJP Government at
the Centre has finally decided to
repeal the three farm laws. There
is no denying the fact that India
should get its agriculture modern-
ized and productive. Good reforms
in agriculture in India are indeed
necessary. While some reforms in
the agricultural sector in India are
highly necessary, a section of
farmers in India does not want the
Government to make some
reforms in agriculture. The greater
interest of the country should never
be undermined. Former PM
Jawaharlal Nehru always advocated
reforms in India’s agricultural
sector. He said, “It has often been
said that agrarian reform is the
most important question in Asia
today. We realized that long ago and

your life in such a way that you are

ing his life in worldly enjoyments.
even took steps to that end. But the
Constitution and rules we have
framed have made it difficult for us
to increase the pace of progress.”
Yours etc., MAHESWAR DEKA,
Rangiya.
Transport recruitment
Sir, – Through your esteemed
daily, I would like to draw the
attention of the Transport Depart-
ment about the written examination
notified by the State-level Police
Recruitment Board, Assam. I am an
applicant for the post of assistant
enforcement inspector under the
Commissionerate of Transport,
Assam notified on July 20, 2021.
There are 225 posts including
junior assistant, assistant enforce-
ment inspector, Grade IV and other
vacancies. Nearly one-and-a-half
years have passed now but there
has been no exam. Despite looking
at the website almost daily, I haven’t
got any smell of the admit card.
Why is such a delay? Are those
vacancies cancelled? Yours etc.,
KALYAN DEY, Nagaon.
Controversial remark
Sir, – The recent statement of
Kangana Ranaut has created a
controversy. With our moral
courage, we achieved our
freedom and fulfilled our goal of an
are the embodiment of limitless
love. Even though we may have
all comforts and pleasures, life
without love is like a desert. Of
course, we need food to eat,
clothes to wear and a place to rest.
But our real need is to attain the
grace of God. When God is ready
to give strength, devotion and lib-
eration, why should we desire
worldly life and pray for worldly
things? We should pray to God
for love and peace which we do
have. God is the embodiment of
love and the ocean of peace. We
should offer our lives to God and
dedicate it totally to him. He will
look after us and protect us. We
should hand over our responsi-
bilities to God who is the only
doer. God is everything.”
With salutation to Baba, we pray
for his blessings on all of us so that
we can serve and perform our duty
for mankind.
independent India. It was possible

led by the Father of the Nation,
Mahatma Gandhi. Tolerance is our
main principle for our self-defence
at the time of the freedom
struggle. Hence, such comments
are highly condemnable. Yours
etc., MANINDRA BORAH,
Guwahati.
Anti-CAA protest
Sir, – Through your esteemed
daily, I would like to draw the
attention of the anti-CAA agitators
of Assam who are in mute mode
now. Did the agitators really work
for the greater interest of the
people of Assam? The farmers
tirelessly staged protest pro-
grammes against the three farm
laws and forced the Central
Government to bow down and
repeal the same. They did not let
the sacrifices of more than 700
farmers go in vain. The anti-CAA
protesters should follow the
farmers’ footsteps in order to
overcome the challenge faced by
them. Yours etc., PRANJAL KR
SHARMA, Morigaon.

He said the AASU is already
in talks with the NESO and 30
other organisations on how to
take forward the anti-CAA
movement through new strat-
egies.
“The movement never died.
We were continuing our resist-
ance at different forums. The
Covid-19 pandemic, lockdowns
and examinations had led to
some slowdown, but now we
are discussing ways to intensify
the stir,” he said.
Noting that the KMSS is firm
on its opposition to CAA, its joint
secretary Mukut Deka urged the
people to unite against the Act.
“Everyone should come to-
gether against the CAA. Only
then we can ensure that it is
repealed. The issue of reviv-
ing the movement will figure
in the November 27 KMSS
meeting which will be attend-
ed by district as well as cen-
tral leaders,” he said.
Raijor Dal, formed last year
mostly by the KMSS leaders,
is also rolling up its sleeves to
revive the anti-CAA movement.
The party’s working presi-
dent, Bhasco De Saikia, said,
“After the Centre’s decision to
repeal the farm laws, there is
a feeling among the people of
Assam that the anti-CAA agi-
tation did not sustain. They
want it to be revived.”
The arrest of 40 KMSS
leaders in 2019, including its
then president Akhil Gogoi,
had “constrained our partici-
pation in the later stages of the
stir, while the pandemic and
lockdowns were other deter-
rents,” he said. “But we are
now holding discussions on
how to revive it,” he added.
The AJP, formed after the
anti-CAA stir with former
AASU leaders steering it, said
it will politically fight the Act
but support the agitation
against it.
“We’re a political party and
we will fight CAA politically.
That is our mandate. Outfits
that had earlier led the stir
against the Act should revive
it. We will support them,”
AJP spokesperson Ziaur
Rahman said.
“The Centre has not yet
framed rules to implement the
CAA, which indicates its fear
of people’s opposition to the
Act. But the government can
do it whenever it wants.
Hence, to keep the pressure
on it, the anti-CAA stir must
be revived,” he said.
The anti-CAA stir began as
a mass movement led by stu-
dent and youth organisations
in December 2019. But later
it was marred by violence,
with protesters damaging and
burning down government
properties, including a railway
station, post office and other
establishments in different
parts of Assam.
This led to a government
crackdown, including arrest of
leaders of the stir, snapping of
internet connectivity and im-
position of curfew. Movement
leaders claimed that five pro-
testers were killed in police
firing but the State govern-
ment asserted that the num-
ber of fatalities was three.
The momentum of the stir
slowed down after the AASU,
which came into prominence
after the arrest of Akhil Gogoi
and some of his associates,
decided to not block roads,
organise demonstrations in
fields and completing daily pro-
tests before sunset.
The stir almost faded away
after the AASU announced a
“temporary break” from pro-
tests in view of class 10 and 12
board exams in January-Feb-
ruary 2020. The agitation lit-
erally died following the Cov-
id-19 outbreak and subsequent
lockdowns.
The political parties born
out of the anti-CAA stir also
performed miserably in this
year’s Assembly elections,
with the AJP scoring a duck
and only RD supremo Akhil
Gogoi winning the Sibsagar
seat. – PTI

Call for making Sattras
more visitor-friendly
CORRESPONDENT
BARPETA, Nov 22: The
entire district of Barpeta is
dotted with numerous Satt-
ras as it was the work station
of 15th-century saint-reform-
ers Mahapurush Srimanta
Sankaradeva and Madhavde-
va, besides Harideva and Da-
modardeva.
The sattras in Barpeta dis-
trict attract a huge number
of tourists from different
parts of the State and also
from outside the State.
The incumbent Deputy
Commissioner of Barpeta Te-
ment committees of the sat-
tras in the district, Bhushal
requested them to install a
board at the entrance of the
sattra depicting the time of
establishment, the person
behind its establishment and
other important related in-
formation so that visitors to
the sattras can be acquainted
with the rich heritage.
He also suggested that
mobile numbers, if possible,
may also be mentioned in the
board so that visitors willing
to know more can contact the
management committees for
further information.
head of the district also sug-
gested that a guide well versed
with the history and tradition
of the sattra culture should be
engaged so that people willing
to learn can quench their thirst
for knowledge.
Emphasising the need for
cleanliness and hygiene,
Bhushal suggested keeping a
sufficient number of dustbins
around the sattra campus and
stressed issuing a directive
to avoid single-use plastic.
Significantly, Bhushal clar-

happy with the achievement.
However, Swachhata is an

the efforts of Rajiv Chanda

every morning to ensure
this necessary service runs
in a hassle-free manner.
“This award is dedicated to
the sanitary workers who
are the backbone of this
achievement. I thank the cit-
izens of Lakhipur for owning
their city and ensuring it is
clean,” she added.
Meanwhile, speaking
about the condition of Silchar
in terms of cleanliness and
garbage disposal, the Depu-
ty Commissioner said, “Our
next effort should be to fo-
cus on Silchar town for
which we need citizens also

TURA, Nov 22: Two Bang-
ladeshi nationals who had in-
advertently crossed over into
Indian territory and were ap-
prehended by the Border Se-
curity Force (BSF) were hand-
ed over to the Border Guard
Bangladesh (BGB), on Mon-
day as a goodwill gesture.
The two Bangladeshi nation-
als were identified as Md
Akhter Ujjaman (43) of Mukhtir
Kasandi village under Matlab PS
in Chandpur district and Md
Amirul Islam (18) of Raipur,
Dhobaura village under Netra-
kona district of Bangladesh.
As per BSF sources, the two
had come towards the border in
South Garo Hills and inadvert-
ently entered Indian territory on
November 20. They were ap-
prehended immediately.
AGARTALA, Nov 22: Tol-
lywood star turned politician
and Trinamool Youth Con-
gress president Sayani Ghosh,
who was arrested on several
charges including attempt to
murder (307), was granted bail
on Monday by a local court,
giving a moral boost to the
party ahead of elections to the
Agartala Municipal Corpora-
tion.
Ghosh was taken before the
Additional Chief Judicial Mag-
istrate, West Tripura, under
tight security seeking two-day
police remand for interroga-
tion. However, the defence
lawyer strongly demanded bail
for Ghosh, saying the charge
levelled against the Trinamool
Congress leader was false and
After hearing the case, the
Additional CJM granted bail to
Ghosh for discrepancy be-
tween the original FIR and the
forwarding letter by the Inves-
tigating Officer. While the FIR
alleged that Ghosh while re-
turning from the campaign,
hurled inflammatory words at
BJP supporters at a rally, po-
lice in its forwarding letter said
the Trinamool Congress lead-
er stopped her vehicle and
tried to foment the BJP activ-
ists.
“The court has granted bail
to me. It shows the allegations
brought against me were false
and politically motivated. It is
a lesson for me. Tripura will
win,” Sayani Ghosh told the
media after her release by the
court.
firebrand leader brought
cheers among Trinamool Con-
gress leaders and supporters.
They said the Sayani episode
will have an impact in the en-
suing civic elections.
Meanwhile, Trinamool Con-
gress All India general secre-
tary Abhishek Banjerjee who
arrived here for a road show
as part of the party’s campaign
for the civic election could not
make it on account of the pre-
vailing situation.
However, Banjerjee left no
stone unturned to target Chief
Minister Biplab Kumar Deb
for his “autocratic” way of func-
tioning. “Tripura is probably
the first State in the country
where a women’s police sta-
tion was attacked by the rul-
ing party goons twice within
arrest has been made so far,”
he said at a press conference
on Monday.
“BJP-backed goons are mak-
ing supreme mockery of the
Supreme Court’s order which
had asked the State’s poll pan-
el and the DGP to stop vio-
lence and ensure free and fair
elections. It seems the Chief
Minister is reluctant to obey
the apex court’s order,” Ban-
jerjee said.
“We filed a case of contempt
of court today (Monday) in the
Supreme Court revealing
what is happening in Tripura
even after the honourable
court’s strict order and the plea
was admitted. It will be taken
up for hearing tomorrow
(Tuesday). We hope justice will
prevail,” he said.

CORRESPONDENT
ITANAGAR, Nov 22:
Following Union Law and
Justice Minister Kiren
Rijiju’s statement that
“Rahul Gandhi does not
know about border security
issues” after the Congress
leader attacked the Centre
over China’s colony-building
activity near the Arunachal
Pradesh border, the Aru-
nachal Pradesh Congress
Committee (APCC) on
Monday said Rijiju’s
statement was “inexcusa-
ble” and instead of blaming
others, he should go to the
area to check the ground
reality and tell the “truth”
to the people.
“The recent statement of
Kiren Rijiju against Rahul
Gandhi that ‘Rahul Gandhi
does not know about border
security issues’ is inexcusa-
ble and just to divert the
attention of the people.
Instead, he should go to the
said territory to check the
reality and address the truth
to our people about the
Chinese intrusion in
Arunachal Pradesh,” APCC
spokesperson Zirgi Kadu
told the media here.
Endorsing the statement
of Gandhi on the issue, the
APCC said their leader “has
taken it seriously to safe-
guard the Indian territory

of coronavirus
KATHMANDU, Nov 22:
Nepal has reported 385 fresh
cases of Covid-19 in the last
24 hours, taking the total
number of infections in the
country to 914,718, the health
ministry said on Monday.
The Ministry of Health and
Population also said that there
have been deaths of four coro-
navirus patients in the coun-
try in the last one day.
“The total number of coro-
navirus infections in the coun-
try has touched 914,718 with
the fresh 385 cases reported
in the last one day. Four
deaths were reported too in
the same period taking the
total number of fatalities due
to the disease to 11,500,” the
health ministry said in a
statement – PTI
NEW DELHI, Nov 22: The organisers
of a conference in Lahore condemned the
alleged “muzzling” of former Pakistan
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s speech,
as internet services at the venue were
reportedly suspended soon after his ad-
dress began, Dawn news reported.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz
(PML-N) supremo began his speech
which was relayed from London via vid-
eo link during the closing ceremony of
the keenly watched conference held in
Lahore by paying tribute to the late cel-
ebrated lawyer and human rights activ-
ist Asma Jahangir. But the live stream
abruptly stopped shortly after.
Munizae Jahangir, Asma’s daughter
and one of the organisers, confirmed to
Dawn news that broadband internet
services and mobile internet had been
suspended soon after Sharif began
speaking.
In a statement issued after the event,
the organisers regretted what they
termed “the state’s high-handedness”
for allegedly blocking the former pre-
mier’s speech, the report said.
“The internet provider was restrained
from providing the organisers with in-
ternet services for the conference two
hours before the closing and Sharif’s
speech was supposed to start,” the state-
ment said.
It adding that cellular internet servic-
es were also cut off two hours before
the closing session in the vicinity of the
Avari Hotel Lahore, the Dawn news
report said.
“The organisers of Asma Jahangir Con-
ference 2021, which include the Supreme
Court Bar Association, Pakistan Bar
Council, and the AGHS, strongly con-
demn this act and consider it an onslaught
on the freedom of expression.”
After the video call was cut off, the
organisers arranged for a telephonic
address by Sharif, according to their
statement.
It quoted Munizae as saying: “We be-
lieve in freedom of expression that is
why this non-partisan platform is open
to everyone and we condemn the muz-
zling of the closing session where Sharif
was going to make an address.”
In his wide-ranging speech, Sharif
called for immediately devising a national
agenda to pull Pakistan out of its current
crises and take it on the path of democ-
racy, reiterating the need to “put our
house in order”.
The former Prime Minister once
again hit out at the military establish-
ment and criticised interference in ju-
dicial and government affairs that he
claimed had led to Pakistan’s “down-
fall”. – IANS

Zverev wins ATP Finals
with aggressive tactic
TURIN, Nov 22: Auda-
cious swinging volley win-
ners. Serve-and-volleying.
An ace out wide on his first
match point – with his sec-
ond serve.
Alexander Zverev showed
off new, more aggressive, tac-
tics in a dominant 6-4, 6-4 win
over second-ranked Daniil
Medvedev on Sunday to lift
the trophy at the ATP Finals
for the second time.
A day after beating top-
ranked Novak Djokovic over
three sets in the semifinals,
Zverev raised his game to a
new dimension.
“It was definitely a game
plan,” Zverev said.
“He’s one of the best base-
line players in the world, and
against him you need to take
control over the points, and I
did that today and that’s why it
worked out very well for me.”
It was a similar approach
to how Djokovic beat
Medvedev in the Paris Mas-
ters final earlier this month,
when the Serb attacked the

BALI, Nov 22: Two-time
Olympic medallist PV Sind-
hu and former world number
1 Kidambi Srikanth would
look for a consistent show
when they compete at the
USD 850,000 Indonesia Open
starting here on Tuesday.
Just days after their semi-
final finishes at Indonesia
Masters Super 750, the two
top Indian shuttlers will be-
gin their campaign at the
World Tour Super 1000
event in their quest for title.
Sindhu, the reigning world
champion, last reached the fi-
nals at the Swiss Open. She
came close to the summit clash
thrice by reaching the semifi-
nals on three occasions, includ-
ing her last two tournaments.
Last week, Sindhu’s cam-
paign was cut short by Ja-
pan’s Akane Yamaguchi with
a straight game win and the
Indian will look to quickly re-
cover from the loss.
The third seeded Indian
will begin her campaign
against Japan’s Aya Ohori and
she is likely to face Canada’s
sixth seed Michelle Li in the
quarterfinals if she can cross
the early rounds.
Srikanth, who had claimed
four titles in 2017, has re-
gained some form with two
back-to-back semifinal finish-
es at Hylo Open and Indone-
sia Masters last week and he
would be desperate to con-
tinue his good run and break
his title drought.
Srikanth was outplayed by
Anders Antonsen of Denmark
last Saturday in the semifinals
and he would look to put that
disappointment behind when
he faces HS Prannoy, who
would be itching to settle the
scores after being outwitted
by his compatriot last week.
Prannoy, who was down
with COVID-19 last year,
showed glimpses of his earli-
er self when he notched up an
upset win over Tokyo Olym-
pics gold medallist Victor Ax-
elsen of Denmark last week
and he would hope to continue
the momentum this week.
World number 16 B Sai Pra-
neeth, who became a father
recently, will also hope to turn
his form around when he
meets France’s Toma Junior
Popov in the opening round.
Lakshya Sen, who is ranked
fourth in the Race To
Guangzhou, will have an up-
hill task of taming the top seed
and two-time world champi-

ing match, while Parupalli

At 6-foot-6 (1.98-metres)

Zverev can be quite an im-
posing figure at the net.
“That’s what I told him. I’m

“That’s what he was do-

“There’s no better way to

Gambhir criticises
Shastri for his
‘best team in the
world’ remarks
NEW DELHI, Nov 22:
Former India opener Gautam
Gambhir is not happy with Ravi
Shastri’s remarks in which he
had termed the Virat Kohli-
led side best in the world.
Shastri’s remarks did not go
down well with Gambhir say-
ing, we won’t hear this kind of
statement from newly-ap-
pointed coach Rahul Dravid.
Shastri’s tenure as head
coach ended after India’s for-
getful campaign in the re-
cently-concluded ICC Men’s
T20 World Cup. One of the
most celebrated batsmen and
legendary cricketer Dravid
was appointed as the head
coach of Team India.
Shastri had famously com-
pared Team India’s Test se-
ries win in Australia with the
1983 World Cup title triumph.
Gambhir said it is fine if this
statement came from others,
not from the outgoing coach.
“It’s really a pity that this
statement came from him; you
will never hear this kind of
statement from Dravid. That’s
the basic difference between
Dravid and others,” Gambhir
told Times Now Navbharat.
“When you win, let others
talk about it. You won in Aus-
tralia, that’s a big achievement
no doubt. You won in England,
performed well, no doubt. But
let others praise you. You won’t
hear such statements from Ra-
hul Dravid. Whether India play
good or bad, his statements will
always remain balanced. More-
over, it will reflect on other play-
ers,” said the former Indian
opener. – IANS

Shahrukh Khan’s late heroics
help Tamil Nadu defend title
NEW DELHI, Nov 22: M
Shahrukh Khan’s late hero-
ics (33 not out off 15 balls),
including a last-ball six,
helped Tamil Nadu defend
their Syed Mushtaq Ali Tro-
phy title, beating Karnataka
by four wickets in a hum-
dinger final of the 2021/22
edition at the Arun Jaitley
Stadium on Monday. It was
also the second consecutive
season Khan hit the winning
runs to clinch the trophy.
With this, Tamil Nadu have
now won the title three times
(2006/07, 2020/21 and 2021/
22), the most by a team in the
history of the tournament.
The win also meant that
Tamil Nadu avenged their
one-run loss in the final to
Karnataka in the 2019 edition
of the tournament in Surat.
The thrilling final also adds
another glorious chapter to
Karnataka-Tamil Nadu clash-
es in white-ball matches.
Tamil Nadu have now won the title the most times in the history of the tournament.
Chasing 152, C Hari Nishan-
th looked great but was run
out by Vidyadhar Patil in the
fourth over. Post Nishanth’s
dismissal, Tamil Nadu became
sluggish as Sai Sudharsan was
trapped lbw by Karun Nair. N
Jagadeesan (41 off 46 balls) and
skipper Vijay Shankar (18 off
22 balls) struggled for fluency
in their 44-run stand.
KC Cariappa, one of the
shining lights for Karnataka in
the tournament, took out both
Shankar and Jagadeesan, who
fell in identical fashion while
going for the big shot, in the
16th over to make things dif-
ficult for Tamil Nadu.
With 55 off 24 balls, Khan

Prateek Jain conceded only
six runs off the next over, in-
cluding taking Yadav’s wick-
et to bring the equation to 30
off the last two overs.
Khan got a six off the last
ball of the penultimate over
despite losing M Moham-
med as Tamil Nadu needed
16 off the last over.
In the final over, R Sai
Kishore got a boundary off
the leading edge off Jain. Af-
ter three singles, two wides
and a brace, it all came down
to five off the last ball. On the

Napoli finally beaten

MILAN, Nov 22: Serie A
leader Napoli lost for the first
time this season as Inter Milan
reinvigorated its Italian title bid
with a 3-2 win on Sunday.
Inter, the defending cham-
pion, cut the gap on Napoli and
AC Milan to four points after
13 rounds and ended Napoli’s
status as the last remaining
unbeaten team across Eu-
rope’s five major leagues.
Dries Mertens, who had
set up a pulsating finale with
his club-record 137th goal for
Napoli, missed the chance to
equalise in injury time when
he blazed his shot over.
SU DO KU
Solution of last problem
Originating from Japan, ‘su
do ku’ is a mind game and a
puzzle that can be solved
with proper reasoning and
“It was a very tactical match
and we could have drawn it in
the end,” said Napoli coach
Luciano Spalletti on his first re-
turn to the San Siro in Milan
since he was fired by Inter af-
ter finishing fourth in 2019.
Spalletti’s players wore jer-
seys paying tribute to soccer
great Diego Maradona, who
died on November 25 last year.
It was another Argentine
who scored the winning
goal. Lautaro Martinez
scored Inter’s third on a
counterattack in the 61st

ot Joaquin Correa. – AP
Nice move up to second
with win over Clermont
Bottle hits Payet in abandoned game
PARIS, Nov 22: Amine
Gouiri scored twice as Nice
rallied past Clermont 2-1
to climb to second place in
the French league, 11
points behind leader Paris
Saint-Germain.
In the latest round to be
marred by fan violence, a
game in Lyon was abandoned
with the score at 0-0 after
Marseille midfielder Dimitri
Payet was hit on the head by
a bottle of water thrown from
the stands while taking a cor-
ner kick. Payet collapsed to
the ground in the fifth minute
but was able to get up after
receiving treatment.
The referee ordered play-
ers to head back to the lock-
er room with play suspend-
ed. After a wait of about 75
minutes, a stadium announce-
ment said play would resume
but Marseille players stayed
in their dressing room.
About two hours after kick-
off, it was announced that the
game had been abandoned.
Against Clermont, Nice
winger Gouiri equalised with
a volley in the 77th. He then
raised his tally to eight league
goals this season by control-
ling a corner in the 82nd be-
fore guiding the ball into the
far corner.
Clermont had a fourth
straight loss to fall into the rel-
egation zone. The hosts had
dominated the first half and
took the lead in the 17th when
Florent Ogier headed in a free
kick from Jason Berthomier.
Nice goalkeeper Walter
Benitez limited the damage
by saving efforts from Vital
Nsimba in the fifth minute,
Jim Allevinah in the seventh,
Johan Gastien in the 12th and
Salis Abdul Samed in the 40th.
“It was one of our worst
games in terms of perform-
ance. We still managed to
grind out a positive result,”
Nice defender Jean-Clair To-
dibo told Canal Plus television.
“Now if we keep playing
like this, we won’t stay in
second place for long.” Also
on Sunday, Brest earned a
third straight win in the
French league by stunning
Lens 4-0 to move away from
the relegation zone. Lens
dropped to fourth place, two
points behind Nice.
Benin striker Steve Mou-
nie opened the scoring in the
third minute by heading
home a deflected cross from
without a shot on target.
