year’s average of 2,200 MW.

the supply system has led to
power outage in some areas.
“In terms of accessibility,
Assam has achieved 100 per
cent electrification under the
Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har
Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA) in
2019. Additional left-out house-
holds were also electrified un-
der DDUJGY-New Scheme
during 2022. Such massive elec-
trification and improved busi-
ness sentiment has led to man-
ifold increase in demand of pow-
er in Assam over previous
years,” an official said.
However, supply con-
straints continue to persist
due to various system bot-
tlenecks like inadequate
transformation and transmis-
sion capacity, lack of distribu-
tion substations, lack of dis-
tribution transformers – both
in terms of capacity as well
as numbers, etc.
Heavy constraint at the ER-
NER transmission corridor
(popularly known as ‘chicken’s
neck’) is one of the major rea-
sons for supply curtailment.
Maximum cases of power
cut over the last few days
have been due to fuse failures
following increased load.
“We have arranged for spare
transformers of higher capaci-
ty and installing new transform-
ers to divide the load. Additional
teams have been deployed as
well,” the official said. In cen-
tral Guwahati areas alone, 12-
14 new transformers have been
installed during the last two
months and another 200 are in
the pipeline.

Next year, the Government of Assam would target planting
of three crore commercially-viable saplings while in 2025, the
aim would be to plant five crore saplings, Sarma added.
The Chief Minister said the current dispensation in the State
accords top priority to a harmonious existence with the
surrounding environment and raising farmers’ income. Amrit
Brikshya Aandolan, apart from boosting the State’s green cover,
would facilitate an increase in the income of Assam’s farmers.
Agro-farming elsewhere is providing a constant and remunera-
tive source of income for farmers but owing to several factors, it
is yet to catch the fancy of the State’s farmers, he remarked.
The Assam Wood-based Industries (Promotion & Develop-
ment) Rules 2022, which replaces the Assam Wood-based In-
dustries (Establishment & Regulation) Rules of 2000, would
facilitate the growth of indigenous wood-based industries by
removing the handicap imposed by the earlier rules, he added.
This would prove particularly helpful for the agar-wood grow-
ers as the new rules would allow for processing of agar oil in
home-based units, he said, adding the Agarwood growers of
upper Assam would benefit immensely from it.

The APDCL claims that power supply position in rural as
well as urban areas has improved significantly. In rural areas,
power supply has increased to 20 hours a day from 15 hours
during 2017-18. Similarly, for urban areas, it is 22 hours a day
from 18 hours a day four years ago.
Assam has been the first state to get sanction under the
Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) of the Union
Ministry of Power designed to arrest the issues of operational
efficiencies, including AT&C losses. Assam is also implement-
ing system enhancement and loss reduction projects for both
transmission and distribution sectors with an investment of
around Rs 12,632 crore from AIIB.
“All these will create more than 200 new substations and
other enabling infrastructure to achieve the target of 13 per
cent AT&C (aggregate technical & commercial) loss by 2024-
25,” the official added. The APDCL’s AT&C loss was below the
targeted 16.50 per cent for financial year 2022-23. During the
previous year, it was 16.95 per cent against the national average
of 16.42 per cent for 2021-22.

Though tension was brewing between both communities, the
Government did not take any preventive measures to prevent
violence, he said. Moreover, prompt steps as soon as the violence
erupted could also have controlled the situation. Along with ef-
forts to restore peace through confidence-building measures, the
police and security forces will have to deal with the law and order
situation with strong hands, he said.
Manipur may face a shortage of food items as the farmers
could not cultivate their lands for a long period because of the
law and order situation, while, most petrol pumps other than
the ones in Imphal town are closed. Bhattacharya said that the
students are also suffering and their careers are at stake. The
Government should immediately deal with these issues.
The NESO is also planning to meet the Governor and Chief
Minister of Manipur before leaving the state.

Trump, who is again running for President, denies wrongdoing.
“As you know, I did nothing wrong. It’s well-documented that I
told Americans to act ‘peacefully’ and discouraged the use of any
violence. This is nothing but an egregious act of Election Inter-
ference and a final act of desperation from crooked Joe as he
crashes in the polls,” Trump said in a statement after he was
charged on four counts. – PTI

Bengal Governor opens anti-graft cell at Raj Bhavan

KOLKATA, Aug 2: West Bengal
Governor CV Ananda Bose today
inaugurated an ‘anti-corruption cell’
at the Raj Bhavan here, amidst pro-
tests by the ruling TMC of this be-
ing an “intrusion” into day-to-day
administration which was the re-
sponsibility of the State government.
Bose, who said that such an initi-
ative would help common people
forward their complaints to com-
petent authorities, dismissed the
TMC’s allegation, and said the cell
would not “infringe on others’ turf”.
“Here at the anti-corruption cell, we
are trying to give voice to the voice-
less. In the days of violence, Raj Bha-
van is trying to be a friend of the un-
friended poor. When the ‘peace room’
was set up, there were apprehensions.
What did the ‘peace room’ achieve?
We will not try to infringe on the turf
of others. There is something called
‘Lakshman Rekha’. We will certainly
try to confine ourselves within the Lak-
shman Rekha,” Bose said.
The Governor had opened a
‘peace room’ at the Raj Bhavan to
address violence-related complaints
from people in districts during the
recently held panchayat elections.
“Do not give money to anyone.
We will not allow that. If someone
wants money, take his picture and
send it to me. This was said in Cooch
Behar by my constitutional col-

league CM of West Bengal. This is
precisely what we are trying to im-
plement. That is what we are going
to do,” the Governor said, refer-
ring to the Chief Minister’s recent
remarks at a rally.
Anyone who comes across cor-
ruption can report it to the anti-cor-
ruption cell, Bose said.
“We will take it up with the com-
petent authorities,” he added.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee today lashed out
at setting up of an ‘anti-corruption
cell’ at the Raj Bhavan by the Gov-
ernor, terming this as an attempt to
interfere in the functioning of the
State’s administration.
She also alleged that Bose is
“wearing a mask” and “working
under instructions of the BJP”.
“I have heard that the Governor
is setting up an anti-corruption cell.
This is not the job of the Raj Bha-
van. We respect the Governor. He
is setting up cells on his own. He is
unnecessarily interfering with the
State’s rights,” Banerjee said.
“I can see that he (Bose) is wear-
ing a mask and working under the
instructions of the BJP,” Banerjee
said, adding that the Governor’s re-
sponsibilities have been specified in
the Constitution. – PTI

greater heat due to climate
change during July.
For 2 billion people, in a
mostly tropical belt across
the globe, climate change
made it three times more
likely to be hotter every sin-
gle day of July. Those include
the million-person cities of
Mecca, Saudi Arabia and San
Pedro Sula, Honduras.
The day with the most
widespread climate-change
effect was July 10, when 3.5
billion people experienced
extreme heat that had global
warming’s fingerprints, ac-
cording to the report. That’s
different than the hottest day
globally, which was July 7, ac-
cording to the University of
Maine’s Climate Reanalyser.
The study is not peer-re-
viewed, the gold standard for
science, because the month just
ended. It is based on peer-re-
viewed climate fingerprinting
methods that are used by oth-
er groups and are considered
technically valid by the Nation-
al Academy of Sciences. Two
outside climate scientists told
The Associated Press that they
found the study to be credible.
More than a year ago, Cli-
mate Central developed a
measurement tool called the
Climate Shift Index. It calcu-
lates the effect, if any, of cli-
mate change on tempera-
tures across the globe in real
time, using European and US
forecasts, observations and
computer simulations.
To find if there is an effect,
the scientists compare re-
corded temperatures to a
simulated world with no
warming from climate
change and it’s about 2 de-
grees (1.2 degrees Celsius)
cooler to find out the chanc-
es that the heat was natural.
“By now, we should all be
used to individual heat waves
being connected to global
warming,” said Princeton Uni-
versity climate scientist Gabri-
el Vecchi, who wasn’t part of
the study. “Unfortunately, this
month, as this study elegantly
shows, has given the vast ma-
jority of people on this planet a
taste of global warming’s im-
pact on extreme heat.”
In the United States, 22 US
cities had at least 20 days
when climate change tripled
the likelihood of extra heat,
including Miami, Houston,
Phoenix, Tampa, Las Vegas
and Austin. – AP

HC concern over seat quota
implementation in medical colleges
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, Aug 2: The
Gauhati High Court has ex-
pressed concern over the im-
plementation of the 15 per
cent reservation of seats for
OBC/MOBC candidates in
the Postgraduate Degree
and Diploma courses in med-
ical colleges of Assam.
The Court has sought clar-
ification from the State gov-
ernment regarding the ab-
sence of classification based
on economic status (non-
creamy layer) for OBC res-
ervation.
The division bench com-
prising Chief Justice Sandeep
Mehta and Justice SP Khaund
in its preliminary observa-
tion, has noted that the 15 per
cent reservation for OBC
without considering econom-
ic status appears to be in con-

“The present system of

 6 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI
MESSAGE FOR TODAY
True peace is not merely the absence of war, it is
the presence of justice.
– JANE ADDAMS
Apt admonition
Perhaps never in recent history had the top court of
India used such harsh words against the administration
of a particular state as it has done in the case of Manipur.
Summoning the state’s Director General of Police (DGP)
to be present before it on August 7 to personally furnish
an explanation, the Supreme Court lashed out at the “le-
thargic” and “tardy” probe into loss of human lives, digni-
ty and properties during the protracted ethnic violence
that has rocked the state, while lamenting that Manipur
has seen an “absolute breakdown of Constitutional ma-
chinery for two months.” Investigations into the numer-
ous acts of violence there have been slow and lethargic,
and there has been incomprehensible delay in FIRs be-
ing registered and statements being recorded. The fact
that the Solicitor General Tushar Mehta’s data on this
aspect was vague and sketchy reinforced the apt nature
of the apex court’s admonition. According to Mehta 6,523
FIRs related to the violence have been registered, but
only 11 of these pertain to crimes against women and
children, indicating the inadequate nature of the investi-
gations into the prevailing situation. As for the case of the
women who were paraded naked and gang-raped which
had triggered universal outrage, Mehta stated that seven
people have been arrested, but could not confirm whether
the policemen accused of handing over the women to the
mob have been interrogated.
When the court asked for details of another incident in
which two women were gang-raped and murdered, Me-
hta admitted that the information he possessed, of a zero
FIR being registered in that case on May 15 and con-
verted into a regular FIR on June 16, might be erroneous,
and he had no information whether any arrests have been
made! The court pertinently observed that except for
one or two cases, there are no filing of FIRs or arrests in
other cases, nor have the statements of victims been
recorded, which indicated that the state police was inca-
pable of investigation and had lost control, and there was
no law and order in Manipur. In consideration of the lack
of verified data, the court ordered the DGP to be present
during the next hearing with information on each of the
FIRs, date of occurrence of the incident, date of registra-
tion of zero FIR, date of registration of regular FIR, date
on which witness statements were recorded, date on
which statements under Section 164 of the Criminal Pro-
cedure Code were recorded; and date on which arrests
were made. The court also observed that if adequate
information on these aspects was not provided, it might
think of constituting a committee of former high court
justices to probe the situation. Indubitably, given that two
months have elapsed, if the apt admonition of the Su-
preme Court helps to galvanise the state administration,
it would serve the purpose.
Tackling cybercrime
With a spurt in cybercrimes conspicuous across the State
and in the country as a whole, the governments need to
devise a matching mechanism. This should deal with varied
aspects of the crimes including prevention and follow-up. A
parliamentary panel has now suggested that the RBI de-
vise an automatic compensation system under which the
financial institution would immediately compensate the cus-
tomer pending further investigation and final traceability of
funds. This is a good suggestion, as cybercrimes have as-
sumed disturbing propositions, robbing people of their hard-
earned money – often for no fault of theirs. Of course, there
will have to be some guidelines on the exercise, as not eve-
ry case can be compensable, especially when the victims
had failed to abide by even the basic safety norms. Also,
there has to be a limit up to which a duped customer will get
back his lost money. While such a compensatory mecha-
nism is a need, – especially when a customer’s account is
hacked for no fault of his – even more important is to ensure
better cyber literacy among the people so that they are not
hoodwinked into parting with their money by fraudsters. In
many cases we have seen how customers are easily duped
by cyber criminals, as the former lack the knowledge of
even the basic do’s and don’ts about cyber security. A major-
ity of the cases witnessed in the State in recent times con-
cern online fraud, with most of the victims acting in an irre-
sponsible manner by sharing personal details like ATM pin
and OTP with the fraudsters. This is particularly surprising
given that online fraud has registered an all-time high across
the country and there have also been sustained awareness
campaigns by banks in recent times on the do’s and don’ts
concerning cyber fraud.
It is not surprising that with the IT revolution sweeping
our lives in a never-before manner, anti-social elements,
too, are increasingly taking recourse to technology to fur-
ther their nefarious agenda. The anonymity of the inter-
net user and the absence of geographical boundaries in
the cyber world have made e-crimes a rather complex
affair, especially in investigating cases and bringing the
culprits to book. Hacking, stealing of password, stalking,
online fraud, industrial espionage, etc., are some of the
common forms of cyber crime – many of which have been
reported in the State. As the absence of a deterrent mech-
anism has compounded the situation vis-a-vis e-crime, the
authorities also need to focus on prevention and investiga-
tion. Unfortunately, bereft of awareness, expertise and in-
frastructure, our police forces are hardly equipped to deal
with e-crimes. The existing legal mechanism to deal with
cyber crimes, too, needs to be updated so that the law
keeps pace with the changes taking place in society. Police
officials being the first respondents to crimes, it is all the
more imperative that their capacity building is enhanced
for handling offences having a digital perspective. Since
cybercrime is often trans-national in nature, international
cooperation is a must to deal with it.
Manipur: The way ahead
Brig R Borthakur (Retd)
T
he entire country has
been shamed by the news
and videos of two naked
women paraded on May
4 in an obscure village of Manipur.
The video went viral in social me-
dia on July 19. The state has been
witnessing the worst forms of vio-
lence ever since clashes between
the Kuki and Meitei communities
erupted on May 3. But this ghastly
video has touched every Indian. It
is indeed a sad state of affairs that
despite the presence of large con-
tingents of security forces which
include the state police, para mili-
tary forces as well as the Army, the
situation has not been brought fully
under control. The state machinery
is helpless, at times being a mute
spectator and at times displaying an
extremely partisan attitude.
India’s Look East Policy where
Manipur plays a pivotal role has tak-
en a beating on account of the vio-
lence. The country is embarrassed
in the international forum. There is
total isolation between the two war-
ring communities – Kukis and
Meiteis. Both the communities are
making extensive efforts to sell
their own narratives, and both have
been successful in distorting facts.
Schools, colleges and offices are
closed. The business community
has suffered immensely. Thou-
sands of people are in relief camps
in Manipur as well as Mizoram.
What is the way out to restore
normalcy? While the solution to
the problem may take years, the
main concern is to ensure that the
situation is brought under control
at the earliest as well as to en-
sure that the violence does not

ugust 13 is celebrated as
World Organ Donation Day
as on this day Ronald Lee
Herrick had donated his
kidney to his twin broth-
er. This year the Government of In-
dia has decided to launch an aware-
ness campaign ‘Angdaan Mahotsav’.
As part of the campaign, August 3,
2023 will be celebrated as the Indian
Organ Donation Day to commemo-
rate the first deceased donor organ
transplant in India, which was the first
heart transplant done in the country.
Actors Amitabh Bachchan and Aish-
warya Rai Bachchan support eye do-
nation campaigns. In fact, the two
have pledged to donate their eyes.
Other actors Salman Khan, Aamir
Khan, Rani Mukherjee to name a few,
are also organ donors.
Organ donation is a noble act that
can save or improve the lives of
many people. Why is then ‘organ
donation’ such a scary term for most
of us? As we celebrate World Organ
Donation Day in August, let us take
an in-depth view of this noble act.
Organ donation is the process of
donating an organ or tissue from one
person (the donor) to another per-
son (the recipient) in need of a trans-
plant. Organ donation can save lives
and improve the quality of life of peo-
ple suffering from organ failure, dis-

Sir, – It is heartening that
Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY
Chandrachud has very rightly
said the “systemic” and “un-
precedented magnitude” of
sexual violence committed
against women in Manipur
amidst ethnic clashes cannot be
excused on the ground that
crimes happened to women in
other parts of the country too.
The way the Supreme Court led

violence to include similar
crimes committed against
women in Bengal, Chhattisgarh
and Rajasthan, is praiseworthy.
The people hope that the SC
would give justice to the people
of Manipur. Its contention that an
offence is an offence regardless of
who is the victim or perpetrator,
is enough to leave no scope for

ing the neighbouring states.
The Meiteis being the dominant
community with 58 per cent of the
population, have not been able to
accept the fact that they are being
challenged by a community (Kuki)
that accounts for just 12 per cent of
the population. At the same time,
the Meiteis are greatly concerned

power in 2021 has added
further concern to the Meiteis.
How can the government restore
normalcy and provide the much
needed healing touch? To deliber-
ate on this aspect, one has to exam-
ine the major demands of both the
communities. The Meiteis have all
along been demanding that the SoO

Kuki groups be terminated as they
are involved in militancy, gun run-
ning as well as illegal drug traffick- areas of the state. There is no doubt lords, etc. It is also pertinent to note

ease or injury. According to a 2018
report, 1.46 lakh people donate their
organs every year, which is a very
poor ratio, as about 5.6 crore people
die annually. Only 0.01 per cent of
people in India donate their organs.
Most of them are friends and family.
More than half a million Indians are
in dire need of transplants. While
organ donation is more common in
other countries, it is still a relative-
ly new concept in India.
Organ donation is regulated by the
Transplantation of Human Organs and
Tissues Act (THOTA), 1994, which
was amended in 2011 to prevent or-
gan trafficking and promote ethical
practices. As reported by the Direc-
torate General of Health Services,
there has been an overall increase in
lifestyle diseases like diabetes, hy-
pertension, chronic kidney disease,
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the
past decade, which may cause organ
damage. Once the end stage organ
failure occurs, such cases may re-
quire organ transplants. THOTA es-
tablished the National Organ Trans-
plant Programme (NOTP) under the
aegis of the National Organ and Tis-
sue Transplant Organisation (NOT-
TO). This is responsible for coordi-
nating organ donation and transplan-
tation and functions under the Min-
istry of Health and Family Welfare.

respecting their sentiments. The
minority Kuki community at the

peacefully with the Meiteis can bring
peace, harmony and development
for them. Hence, at this juncture the
Kukis need to rethink their demand
for Kuki land. Manipur’s neighbour-
ing state Mizoram that has been ex-
tremely burdened by the internally

due to the ethnic clash, can also play
a very positive role in bringing peace

How to become an organ do-
nor? You can register to be an organ
and tissue donor if you are 18 years
of age or above by filling an online
form on NOTTO’s website (https://
notto.mohfw.gov.in/) or by calling
their toll-free helpline number
(1800114770). Inform your family
about your decision, as your family
will be making the final decision
whether or not to donate your or-
gans after you die. You can also talk
to your doctor about organ donation
to understand the process and give
clarity on the process. You can
show your support for organ dona-
tion by filling a donor card or by
wearing a donor badge. Organ do-
nation is a way of expressing one’s
gratitude and compassion towards
humanity. By donating organs, one
can leave behind a legacy of hope
and generosity that can inspire
others to follow suit.
World Organ Donation Day is a
global day to spread awareness about
organ donation. The first successful
organ transplant took place in 1954
in the United States. It was done by
Dr Joseph Murray who was also
awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiol-
ogy and Medicine in 1990 for suc-
cessfully carrying out a kidney trans-
plant between twin brothers Ronald
and Richard Herrick. You can also
spread awareness by donating blood.
push injections of antibiotics,
steroids, hormones and other
sensitive drugs without diagnosing
the disease, which is not possible
for them. They don’t know the
proper dose or course of the
medicines and haphazardly use
them. In Assam all kinds of
medicine are available in the
market without any prescription.
As a result, the animals develop
resistance to the drugs. This is a
signal for disaster to the animals’
health that will reflect upon human
health too. Nobody is there to
check the menace. Qualified
veterinarians are frustrated as
third or fourth generation antibiot-
ics have failed to fight the diseases
and many high yielding and
valuable animals either died or
became liabilities to the farmers.
If the authorities continue to
ignore the problem, a time will
come when the pre-antibiotics era
will prevail, consequences of which
will be frightening for both animals
and human beings. Yours etc., DR

Youth trying to create awareness Bajali cultivators pin hopes on organic farming of scented joha
against child labour CORRESPONDENT

CORRESPONDENT
UDALGURI, Aug 2: Child labour is a major
problem that the country has been enduring
for a long time, despite the fact that the gov-
ernment has been taking various measures to
tackle the menace.
In such a scenario, news of efforts made by
individuals and organisations come as a whiff
of fresh air. Recently, a youth named Dipankar
Ojha conducted several anti-child labour
awareness programmes in different parts of
Udalguri district. The awareness drive cov-
ered several remote villages and tea estate
areas. The programmes were attended by
hundreds of children and their parents. Dur-
ing the programmes, Ojha, along with social
worker Rakesh Deka, appealed to the villag-
ers to be committed to making their children
interested in studying instead of engaging them
in labour-oriented tasks. Areas having eco-
nomically vulnerable people and tribal settle-
ments were selected for the awareness drive
at the initial stage. The first phase of the aware-
ness campaign ended on July 29. Rakesh Deka
also took part in the campaign that day.
The awareness programme will be expand-
ed to other places in the future and Ojha aims
to spread awareness to many people. Ojha
said various programmes are on the cards to
curb the menace of child labour. A massive
public signature programme has also been
launched with a target of collecting about
10,000 signatures initially.
PATACHARKUCHI, Aug
2: Organic farming of keteki
joha and bakul joha rice culti-
vation in 50 bighas and trans-
plantation of joha seedlings
were officially launched recent-
ly in the Niz Shatishamuka
(Kharadhara) agricultural field
of Bajali district with the help
of the Arohan Organic Group.
The initiative was supported
by the Central Agriculture
University, Imphal, and Krishi
Vigyan Kendra, Barpeta.
“The scented joha rice has
high demand and its cost is also
high. If the farmers can certi-
fy their produce, then they will
benefit immensely and we are
ready to help the farmers who
are interested to reap the
benefits. Organic farming
maintains the natural proper-
ties of the soil and does not
harm our health. Therefore,
the farmers of our State
should come forward to adopt
the concept of organic farm-
ing. By implementing such
projects, the farmers of the
region will get immense en-
couragement. This is the sec-
ond year of the experimental
process,” said Dr Arup Ku-
mar Deka, head of Krishi Vi-
gyan Kendra, Barpeta.
He assured that all neces-
sary assistance would be pro-
vided for certification of the
produce of the farmers.
Inaugurating the scheme at
Kharadhara, he also took part
in the transplanting of seedlings
to kick-start the organic farm-
ing. Arup Kumar Ramchiary,
ADO, Bajali, urged the farm-
ers to involve themselves in
such farming. The agriculture
department also supplied some
equipment to help the group.
The programme was an-
chored by farmer Mahendra
Das. He urged other farmers
to come forward in this direc-
tion and popularise the idea of
organic farming in the region.
Das explained as to why or-
ganic farming should be adopt-
ed and also pointed out sever-
al problems being faced by the
farmers of the area.
The programme was attend-
ed by several farmers of the
area. It was also attended by
crop science expert Dr Pinkud-
har Burman, Patacharkuchi cir-
cle agriculture development
officer Arup Ramchiari, agricul-
ture extension assistant Ranjit
Kumar Das, Nityanand Panbari
Gaon Panchayat president Par-
ag Talukdar and others.

Shock loss leaves Italians in tears
South Africa stun the World No. 16 ranked side to knock them out Women’s World Cup
WELLINGTON, Aug 2:
Italy’s players dropped to
their knees, buried their fac-
es and tearfully wondered
how their tournament had
suddenly ended following a
shocking upset to South Af-
rica in the FIFA Women’s
World Cup 2023.
The 54th-ranked team in
the world stunned Italy,
ranked 16th by FIFA, with a
3-2 victory over the Italians
in Wednesday’s Group G fi-
nale. South Africa won with
a stoppage-time goal by
Thembi Kgatlana.
South Africa were ecstatic
as players screamed and
danced and said thankful
prayers in the hallway lead-
ing to their locker room.
The Italians left in tears and
were unable to explain the
upset.
“I really don’t know,” goal-
keeper Francesca Durante
said after the match.
“I don’t know what didn’t
work.”
Nearly every player took
the blame for the early elim-
ination, even Arianna Caru-
so, who scored both of Ita-
ly’s goals.
“I don’t think I can find the
right words at this moment,”
Caruso said.
“I am not happy because
we scored two goals and we
didn’t do anything.”
Italy’s problems against
South Africa began before
Wednesday night’s game: a
brutal 4-0 loss to Sweden was
perhaps too difficult to over-
come, even with a spot in the

Former Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi
Buffon retires from soccer at age 45
PARMA (Italy), Aug 2: At
age 45 and after a career that
included a World Cup title
with Italy, a long list of tro-
phies with Juventus and
many years when he was con-
sidered among the best goal-
keepers in soccer, Gianluigi
Buffon announced his retire-
ment on Wednesday.
Buffon had one season re-
maining on his contract with
Parma in Serie B and there-
fore leaves the sport with the
same team that he began his
professional career with near-
ly three decades ago.
“That’s all folks! You gave
me everything. I gave you
everything. We did it togeth-
er,” Buffon wrote on Insta-
gram next to a video of his
career highlights.
The pinnacle of Buffon’s
career came during the 2006
World Cup, when he conced-
ed only two goals during the
seven matches of the Azzur-
ri’s run to the trophy. Nei-
ther of those two goals were
scored by opponents during
open play. One was an own-
goal by teammate Cristian
Zaccardo and the other was a
penalty kick by Zinedine Zi-
dane during the final.
“I experienced Buffon for
25 years, first with Juve and
then on the national team –

round of 16 at stake.
“I’m sure that the game
against Sweden and all the
goals we conceded affected
our trust, our confidence, our
peace of mind,” said Italy
coach Milena Bertolini.
“I think it’s clear that to-
day the emotional side was
actually an important factor.”
The Italians were slowed
by more than their emotions.

Jamaica hold Brazil,
advance to knockouts
MELBOURNE (Australia), Aug 2: Jamaica held Brazil to a
0-0 draw Wednesday and advanced to the pre-quarters of the
FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 for the first time.
After conceding 12 goals in its Women’s World Cup debut
in 1999, Jamaica shut out France, Panama and Jamaica in con-
secutive games to book an improbable place in the tourna-
ment’s knockout stage.
It’s the first time since 1995 that Brazil have failed to ad-
vance out of the group stage.
In addition to being ranked well below both Brazil and
France, Jamaica progressed despite the financial struggles it
faced before the tournament.
These difficulties resulted in Jamaica receiving support from
fans through crowdfunding due to inadequate support from its
federation. Nearly USD 100,000 was raised for the team through
two fundraisers. After opening the tournament with a 4-0 victory
over Panama, Brazil failed to get the victory it needed to extend
the great Marta’s sixth and last World Cup campaign. – AP

Deodhar Trophy
South Zone hold edge over East Zone in final
PUDUCHERRY, Aug 2:
The formidable South Zone
will be eyeing their second
national title in three weeks
when they face an equally
combative East Zone in the
Deodhar Trophy final here on
Thursday.
South Zone, who had won
the Duleep Trophy last
month in Bengaluru, have
entered the title round with
an all-win record in the league
stage, and hold a slight edge.
South will be looking to add
a ninth Deodhar Trophy to
their cabinet, while East

sixth title in the competition.
However, recent form fa-

children’s writing is at a ‘crisis point’
in the U.K., as the number of children
enjoying it in their spare time has
dwindled drastically. The number of
young people who say they enjoy writing has
fallen drastically over the past 13 years, according
to a National Literacy Trust research.
Just 34.6 per cent of those aged between
eight and 18 said they enjoyed writing in their
free time in 2023, compared to 46.8 per cent in
2010. The drop, coupled with a decline in writing
attainment, suggests “we are no longer facing a
setback but a crisis”, according to the charity’s
report.
It comes after only 69 per cent of children
met the expected standard in writing in the key
Stage-2 SATs (standardised assessment tests) in
2022, compared to 78 per cent in 2019.
The report suggests that the majority of
children (72 per cent) enjoy writing in their
free time between the ages of five and
eight, but this steadily decreases as they
go through the school system. Slightly
more than a quarter (26.4 per cent)
of children aged 14 to 16 said they
Overall, 71,351 children and young people aged
five to 18 from 285 schools across the U.K. were
surveyed online between January and March 2023.
Jonathan Douglas, chief executive of the National
Literacy Trust, said: “Writing for enjoyment needs
to be encouraged, protected and nurtured as a
priority. The reduced scope for creative writing
in the curriculum may be affecting children’s
motivation and enjoyment for writing, which can, in
turn, affect their confidence and literacy skills.”

third highest scorer of international goals
among active footballers. He has 93 strikes
from 142 matches — the top two posi-
tions held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel
Messi. In June 2005, Chhetri earned his
first international cap — the same year as
Messi, and two years after Ronaldo.
Born in Secunderabad on August 3,
1984, Chhetri was inclined to football
since childhood — which is not surpris-
ing because his father, an army man,
used to play football in his youth and his
mother had played for Nepal’s national
football team. Although Chhetri excelled
in football, he never considered becom-
ing a professional footballer. However,
at the age of 17, he joined the Tata
Football Academy in Delhi and began his
professional football career with Mohun
Bagan AC in 2002.
As he turns 39 today, it is the perfect
occasion to honour this football legend
who has inspired a generation of play-
ers in a country like India which is more
inclined to cricket.

Tell me why?
Hey, you humans!
Why are you cutting me?
Do you think I don’t have a life?
I, too, have a life
I also have a family like yours.
Stop cutting me.
I know you all need me.
But why
Are you cutting me to build buildings?
Hey, you humans!
Instead of building factories, buildings...
Start planting more trees!
It’s your choice.
The future is in your hands. Mohammed Saif Ullah, Class-IV,
Hey, you humans! Delhi Public School, Jorhat

The world
Is the sky blue
Or is it white?

Does it shine
Or is it already bright?

Is the water transparent

Or is it just a one-way mirror?

Does it flow due to wind

Or does it have a gear?

Do the trees sleep

Or do they simultaneously see the sky?

There are many mysteries in the world,

We should solve them all,
We should not give up whenever we fall.
