New Delhi, OctO-ber 28 (AgeNcies): New figures released by the National Crime Re-cords Bureau show In-dia’s two largest cities ac-counted for one-third of the rape cases registered in 2010, and underline de-pressing infirmities in the prosecution of perpetra-tors — just over a quarter of them were convicted.

Last year, the national capital recorded 414 rape cases, the biggest num-ber among 35 major cities monitored by the Bureau, followed by 194 in Mum-bai. Delhi accounted for 23 per cent of all rape cas-es recorded in urban ar-eas, while Mumbai made up 10.3 per cent.

In population-adjusted terms, howev-er, several mid-size cities emerged as even more dangerous for women than the two

big cities: in Jabalpur, 7.3 in every 1,00,000 people — both men and women — reported having been raped, followed by 5.5 in Bhopal, 5 in Faridabad, 4.8 in Visakhapatnam, and 4.2 in Indore.

The rape cases were just part of a larger mass of crime directed at wom-en: Delhi alone recorded 1,422 cases of kidnap or abduction, a staggering 37.7 per cent of the total cases in the cities.

Delhi, however, was the most dangerous of the five megapolises, with 3.2 in every 1,00,000 popu-lation reporting having been raped in 2010, fol-

lowed by 1.2 in Mumbai, 1.1 in Bangalore, 0.7 in Chennai and 0.2 in Kolkata — the last the lowest figure in any Indian city, along with Varanasi.

Chizokho VeroKohima | October 28

Nagaland State Women Com-mission Chairperson Sano Vamuzo has said that the impact of conflict on women has be-come a huge topic particularly in the conflict-ridden regions of the world, and the northeast has in recent years become a fo-cal point for research and study from various angles.

She was speaking during the programme “Bearing witness: The impact of conflict on wom-en in Nagaland and Assam” or-ganized by the Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research (C-nes) with the support of Hein-rich Boll Foundation held here at the Red Cross Conference Hall.

Complimenting the Centre

for North East Studies and Pol-icy Research for the initiative, she said “Your work has shed light on a very crucial issue that has remained in the dark for so long.” She said for so long, sto-ries of Nagas and their political struggle had been silenced, and many, who have undergone tre-mendous experiences over the past six decades, have died with their stories untold. “This is a shame and a huge loss for those coming after them, as it means the loss of information about the past which we need to know in order to better understand our present circumstances. How-ever, it is encouraging to see that over the past couple of decades, the stories have gradually begun to emerge and to be document-ed,” the chairperson said.

She said the Nagaland State women commission was deal-ing with a wide range of issues pertaining to women with the major issues like domestic vio-lence, trafficking of women and children, rape, molestation etc. She also stated every Naga vil-lage and every Naga family has a story to tell because the political struggle has not left one family unaffected. “The effects of world War II have been intolerable as they have not only traumatized women and homes, but have car-ried on into the Naga struggle for freedom, which saw thousands of our men dead, our homes and granaries burnt to the ground time after time and our women raped, abused, and killed, com-pletely losing their rights to pro-tection and security”.

In the present scenario, Sano added that Naga women have been experiencing new trends of conflict in the society and the concern over the alarming rise in crimes against women. “We call for valuable wisdom and insights in order to curb this menace that threatens that very fabric of our society.” In this regard, Sano mentioned that the widespread prevalence of domestic violence was a reflection of deep- rooted gender imbalance in the state. She said that education of wom-en in knowing their legal rights will go along way to curb atroci-ties against women.

Earlier, screening of the film “A Measure of Impunity” was introduced by Maulee Senapati while Kausiki Sarma briefed on the photo exhibition. Dr. Buno

Legiese, head, department of Education, Nagaland Univer-sity delivered welcome address while Charles Chasie chaired the function. Prof.Sanjoy Hazarika, project director highlighted the account of the C-nes and the study report. The two day event will continue till October 29 with film screening at 1:00 PM while photo exhibition will start at 11:00 AM till 5:00 PM.

It may be mentioned that the study report, screening of film and photo exhibition on “Bear-ing witness: The impact of con-flict on women in Nagaland and Assam” is aimed at documenting the impact of conflict on women in two states of Nagaland and As-sam. The project seeks to place these issues in the larger con-text of the challenges of nation

building, regional growth and also look at broader issues of just laws, the use of state power and the rights of citizens especial-ly women. The project is built around the assumption that women have been particularly and severely affected by ongoing civil conflicts in the two states as indeed in much of the north east region of India.

Sanjoy Hazarika is the manag-ing trustee of the Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research which he found in 2000, which works extensively on governance issues especially health and edu-cation delivery. The research team from Nagaland includes Charles Chasie, Dr. Buno Liegise and Dr. Lungsang Zeliang. From Assam- Mirza Zulfiqur Rahman and Ritu-rekha Baruah.

‘To win polls, earn it’ – Luizenho

Faleiro tells party leaders in Nagaland

Al NgullieDimapur | October 28

Amidst optimistic declara-tions from Nagaland Con-gress leaders that the party would be victorious in the forthcoming state assem-bly elections, a quite word of caution comes from the Delhi command – the central Congress lead-ers are still worried at the frequent leadership prob-lems in Nagaland’s chief opposition party.

The caution, from a top Congress leader today, re-flects the uneasiness of the Indian National Congress’ top brass that the Nagaland unit – along with Tripura’s – would remain in the op-position for a third consec-utive term if the State unit let its socks hang.

Luizenho Faleiro, Gen-eral Secretary of All In-dia Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge of Naga-land, told The Morung Ex-press Friday evening that the central chiefs are defi-nitely “concerned” at the regular infighting within the Nagaland unit. He was

Faleiro also hit out at what he said is the rampant corruption in the Naga People’s Front (NPF)-led Demo-

cratic Alliance of Nagaland government. “This is the corruption capital of India. Has Anna Hazare come to Nagaland? Has he spoken about the corruption happening in Nagaland?” the former Goa chief minis-ter thundered.

Nagaland, he remarked, is the only state in India where ministers use funds sent by the Central government as “dowry for his family and his people.” He said the more than 90% of the funds ‘which the NPF govern-ment is musing’ are money from the UPA government given to the Naga people for

thriving development. “Is it (funds) reach-ing the poor?” he queried.

He expressed sadness that ‘this beautiful land, beautiful people, instead of marching forward with India, is marching backward.’ About 30% of India lives under the Poverty line, he said. But, he lamented, about 60% of Nagas are under the poverty line.

Today, he said, India is one of the fast-est growing economies in the world with more than 8.5 GDP of growth and Naga-land should be marching with the rest of the country. “How long would you toler-ate this? How long would you endure this march into backwardness when others are marching forward?” he challenged.

DiMAPUr, OctOber 28 (MexN): There is good indication that the General Secretary of All India Congress Committee (AICC) Rahul Gandhi may have now sched-uled a visit to Nagaland during the period November 8-10. This information was dis-closed by AICC general secretary in-charge of Nagaland, Luizenho Faleiro, during a program of the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee in Dimapur, Friday, October 28.

Addressing the program at the Congress Bhavan in Dimapur, Faleiro said he had per-

sonally requested both Rahul Gandhi and his mother, AICC chief and chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance at the cen-ter, Sonia Gandhi, to visit Nagaland. “Rahul Gandhi will be visiting Nagaland during the 8th up to the 10th (of November). I have also personally requested Sonia Gandhi to visit the state,” Faleiro said. In his speech in the program, he had indicated that Rahul Gan-dhi’s visit to the state would be part of an itinerary to some North East states, includ-ing especially Tripura.

responding to a query if So-nia Gandhi and the Delhi command are ‘aware’ of the state Congress’ history of dissension and frequent tussling over leadership.

“Yes, she (Gandhi) is and we are concerned. We want them (Nagaland Con-gress unit) to be united; we want them to be a robust party, strong and united,” Faleiro told this daily on

the sidelines of a Nagaland Pradesh Congress Com-mittee (NPCC) program held to make the conclusion of an all-districts tour.

Nonetheless Faleiro, for-mer chief minister of Goa, said democracy is not im-mune to dissension. “In a democracy, in any effective democracy, differences are part and parcel of life,” he explained. “We have to be

united, we have to be robust.” Interestingly, earlier in his speech, the Congress leader had made faint references to Sonia Gandhi’s apparent worry for Nagaland and Tri-pura – the only two states in the country where the party remains in the opposition for consecutive terms, about nine years for the former and 19 years for the latter.

New Delhi, OctO-ber 28 (iNDiA tODAy): The Centre and the NSCN (Isak-Muivah) should reach an in-principle agree-ment to resolve India’s old-est insurgency before the assembly elections in Ma-nipur in mid-2012, Naga HoHo president Keviletuo Kiewhuo has suggested. Naga HoHo is the apex body of various Naga tribes.

Peace talks between the Union government and the biggest Naga insurgent group have been going on since the past 14 years, ever since the two sides entered into a ceasefire agreement in 1997. But innumerable rounds of negotiations be-tween the two sides have not yielded any result.

“Fourteen years in any negotiations between a

state and a rebel group is not a small period. Consen-sus in politics is never an easy task. But the two sides should take into consider-ation the views of the ma-jority and arrive at a frame-work or an in-principle agreement that will form the basis of a future agree-ment to address all tricky issues,” Kiewhuo said.

His views probably re-flect that of a large section of the Nagas yearning for an end to the negotiations and a settlement. The Naga HoHo has been pushing for an early settlement fearing obstacles in the coming months. The next assembly elections in Manipur will be held in mid-2012. This will be followed by elections in Nagaland in early 2013. According to Kiewhuo, it will be difficult

for the government to an-nounce an agreement on the merger of Naga majority areas of Manipur with Na-galand, a key demand of the NSCN (IM), once elections in Manipur are announced.

“Similarly, during the Nagaland elections, Nagas will be divided as some will support one political party while others will support another. This will adversely impact the peace process. And any mid-term elections in the Lok Sabha will further delay the process. Under such circumstances a frame-work agreement should be worked out that will fulfill demands like unification of Naga areas in Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh with that of Nagaland,” the Naga HoHo president said.

Kohima, october 28 (mexN): The All Nagaland Cooperative Societies’ Fed-eration (ANCSF) expressed its serious concern and un-happiness over the “undue delay and too slow process” in implementing National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) spon-sored schemes in the state despite the fact that the DAN government under the leadership of Neiphiu Rio had lifted suspension of NCDC sponsored schemes in the state in January 2005 after a lapse of 5 years.

The ANCSF had ob-served with regret that al-most the entire chunk of the selected cases under NCDC from the whole state since

2005 have been kept in cold storage and nothing seems to be moving ahead except that the department had picked and choose a few cases even during 2009 and 2010 and had received sanctions and payment too violating all norms or selection process.

The selected benefi-ciary cooperative societies for various schemes under NCDC by the state level co-ordination committee for the last several years arte still lying pending with the state finance department for financial concurrence.

“We are all aware that the NCDC has been pro-moting and financing a wide range of economic activities in rural areas

ANCSF concern over delay in implementing NCDC schemes

through cooperatives and there is no other institu-tion in the country which is exclusively for meeting the requirement of coop-eratives. Hence, if we do not implement the scheme and get our due share from NCDC, it is our own loss as the funds are being di-verted for other states,” the Federation said.

The Federation also said poor recovery should not be the excuse of the state de-partment of cooperation all the times “since there is re-covery cell or mechanism in the department.”

Nagaland state falls un-der the category of “Coop-eratively Least Developed” in the entire country, it said and was of the strong opinion that the state government of Nagaland should pay special attention to the cooperative sector to build strong coop-erative movement for the upliftment of rural economy through its active support and participation.

The Federation presi-dent R.K. Mekro and vice president Kedou Wetsah strongly urged the state government to put the implementation of NCDC sponsored schemes on the right track and effectively implement the much im-portant economic life vein of the cooperatives with-out further delay.

Dimapur, OctOber 28 (mexN): The Nyishi Elite Society (NES) has demanded justice for the death of one of its mem-bers, Heri Tai on Octo-ber 12, 2011 at Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh. A press note from NES President, Bengia Tollum today stated that,NES had demanded the Arunachal Pradesh government to arrest the culprits responsible and award exemplary punish-ment as per the law on Oc-tober 16. However, till date no action has been taken, NES alleged.

The NES stated that Heri Tai was injured in the police firing incident at I.G Park and later succumbed

to his injury at GNRC Hos-pital Guwahati. Owing to the government’s unre-sponsive attitude, the Heri clan in particular and Nyi-shi community in general is being deprived of jus-tice. Therefore, the NES has submitted a memo-randum to the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh to intervene and ensure de-livery of justice by direct-ing the government to im-mediately constitute an enquiry committee to be headed by either a sitting or retired Judge of High Court to find out the cause, culprit and punish as per law.

NES has alleged that such attitude from the

State government clearly shows their complete lack of interest in solving the serious issue. NES stated that executive members of NES and ANSU have been getting intimidation, life-threatening calls and SMS ever since it started the movement against the derogatory remarks in the national media.

NES has warned that if happens to any of the ex-ecutive members of NES, ANSU and members of the community in this is-sue, the State government shall be held responsible and the society shall take its own course of action. NES has further reiterate that the initiative by the

the State to shun violence and join the path of peace. "UTLA had joined the path of peace under SoO and they should strictly follow the ground rule, the Chief Minister," said speaking on the occasion. He said some signatories of SoO are not abiding the ground rules and there are reports that they are indulging in extortions. He also warned them not to repeat such activities in the future.

DGP Y Joykumar said UTLA mainly operated in Jiribam, Vangai range, Nungba hills range, etc. "The group was the main obstacle in the construc-tion work of railways but the problem will be solved soon as they have shunned violence and joined the mainstream", the DGP said.

Touching the prevail-ing situation in Manipur, the Manipur police chief said, “The people will suf-fer no more because of economic blockades on na-tional highways as every-thing will be much cheaper when railway service starts in the State.”

UTLA decided to 'come home' by abjuring the path of violence under the guid-ance and direction of GOC Red Shield Division, Major Geneneral Binoy Poonen, VSM. The ' home coming' of the outfit was facilitated by Commander of 27 Sector Assam Rirfles Brigadier, VS Ranade and Commandant 46 Assam Rifles Colonel Vi-kas Chawla.

It was pointed out that UTLA was raised by James in 2003. However, at a later date after the death of its

leader, the group was split into two factions called UTLA and UTLA (Max). UTLA (Max) over the pe-riod of time got neutralized and at present, majority of them are in jail.

Due to leadership cri-sis and differences, the president of UTLA mo-tivated to join the 'main-stream'. The two leaders announced formally to engage in the Suspension of Operation (SoO) on September 8th 2011. This report was carried out in all the leading newspa-pers of Manipur.

nIGerIA, october 28 (PtI): Ni-gerian telecom regulator NCC has threatened to fine an Indian firm’s sub-sidiary, Airtel Nigeria, and two other companies if they fail to improve the quality of their mobile services and pre-vent them from registering new sub-scribers. Airtel Nigeria, a subsidiary of Bharti Airtel, South Africa’s MTN and locally owned Globacom would pay a fine of $ 6,216 per subscriber if the sanc-tions take effect, the Nigerian Commu-nications Commission (NCC) said here in a bid to improve quality of telephone service in the oil rich country.

According to NCC, it has procured equipment to monitor if customers are able to make and receive calls as well as the quality of the calls. The di-rective followed customer complaints of poor services by some telecom companies. NCC spokesman Reuben Muoka said the Commission has giv-en the operators 30 days to improve their service quality or face sanctions. “This follows a dismal performance by the three operators on quality of service from the result of an indepen-dent monitoring exercise carried out by the Commission across the coun-try.” Muoka said. Meanwhile, Airtel Nigeria’s Managing Director and CEO

Rajan Swaroop had earlier urged the government to issue a National Policy on Communications (NPC).

At the 3rd West African Informa-tion and Communications Technology (WAFICT) event, he urged the policy makers to incorporate broadband in the framework of their strategies. Swa-roop’s comments and the regulator’s warning came amid some experts say-ing that the quality issues can be liked to under-utilisation of landline net-work. A telecom expert Monday Ogbe told a local newspaper that the poor services could be linked to poor fibre-utilisation. Ogbe said there is over-de-pendence on mobile technology to the detriment of fixed lines -- a situation that has led to congestion and poor quality, adding that in Nigeria most of the calls are routed through mobile phones unlike in other countries.

Bharti Airtel embarked on the larg-est-ever telecom takeover by an Indian firm on June 8, 2010, when it complet-ed a transaction to buy Kuwait-based Zain Telecom’s businesses in 15 Af-rican countries for $ 10.7 billion. The same year, the company invested $ 600 million in Nigeria’s mobile market. The 3 companies involved are yet to issue a statement on the NCC directive.

‘No more will you face the threat of a police case or be treated with suspicion, thanks to new norms of the Reserve Bank of India”hyDerAbAD, october 28 (AGencIes): If you come into possession of a fake currency note inadvertently, don’t be afraid to report it. No more will you face the threat of a police case or be treated with suspicion, thanks to new norms of the Reserve Bank of

India. As per the existing norms, banks are required to file a first information report (FIR) imme-diately upon detection of a fake note. However, hesitation among customers as well as bank officials in taking the matter to police has led to under-reporting of the de-tection of fake notes.

To address this, the apex bank now has instructed banks that there is no need to register a case with police unless five or more pieces of fake notes are detected in a single transaction. In all other cases where one or up to four fake notes are detected, a consolidated

report can be sent to the police at the end of every month, the RBI said. This decision was taken on the recommendations of the High Level Group on Systems and Pro-cedures for Currency Distribu-tion Chaired by Usha Thorat, for-mer Deputy Governor, RBI. From the police perspective, there are still some more gaps to address. Amit Garg, Additional Commis-sioner of Police (Crimes), Hyder-abad, said a compliant should be scientific.

“I have recently suggested to some banks that they should segregate huge amounts de-

posited by different customers with some kind of identifica-tion. This helps proper mapping of source and region while we investigate,’’ he said. There is a greater need for banks and peo-ple to come forward with com-plaints if fake notes are detect-ed, he added. The RBI Governor, D.Subbarao, while addressing the press during the policy re-view, agreed that there was un-der-reporting of the matter.

Pointing out that detecting counterfeit notes was the respon-sibility of both the central bank as well as commercial banks, he

said: “The reporting was skewed because we found that only one or two banks were reporting coun-terfeit notes. The others were probably not paying enough at-tention.” He said that the RBI was in discussion with banks on the subject. As a first step, at least 20 per cent of frontline staff – both officers and clerks – would be trained in the detection and re-porting of fake notes during 2012. According to the RBI, 45,235 pieces of counterfeit notes were detected by it, while 3,90,372 pieces were detected by various commercial banks in 2010-11.

Naga leader pushes for peace pactThe Manipur government, civil societies and student

organisations in the Manipur valley have been opposed to any bifurcation of the hill districts. The Centre, whether led by the BJP or the Congress, has not been able to con-vince Manipur in making any concessions. Asked if grant-ing of hill council status to the Naga majority districts of Manipur could be an interim solution, Kiewhuo replied in the negative. He said such an arrangement would weaken the demand of the Nagas. Kiewhuo warned that vested interests in Nagaland could get active as the elec-tions approached in order to sabotage the peace process.

Sonia worried about Nagaland...The AICC leader illustrated Gandhi’s dilemma:

“(Gandhi) said to me, ‘please help me as far Nagaland and Tripura are concerned. She personally requested me, ‘Mr. Faleiro, these are the two states in the country where the Congress is without power.’” If the Congress is to win and be in position to lead the state forward, he explained, it has to be united. “We have to be united to be victorious.”

He also had a ‘message’ for the gathered Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) and Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leaders – “This is my message to you on behalf of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi: Forget your dif-ferences; we have to work in cohesion. If you want to win elections, there is no magic wand. You have to earn it.”

Faleiro’s strong caution somewhat dampened the oth-erwise hitherto-exuberant mood of optimism from the NPCC and CLP leaders that the state’s Congress is ready to face, and ‘win’, the coming state assembly elections.

The reports and speeches from various frontal Con-gress leaders from the state indicated strong readiness to fight the polls, and equally, the declarations that the opposition would be victorious this time around in Na-galand – in the nature of the previous “Congress wave” in Nagaland which led to the party securing four out of five Dimapur constituencies.

Addressing the gathered Congress members, NPCC president SI Jamir encouraged the workers to endeavor even harder as the assembly elections are already near-ing schedule. In “Nagamese” Jamir declared: “Amar next election loke vijay hobo” (‘we will be victorious in the next elections’). He urged the party to double their efforts as ‘there is not much time left for the elections; by March next year, election campaigning would start,’ he told the workers in “Nagamese.”

CLP leader Tokheho Yepthomi also spoke briefly at the program. He encouraged the Congress workers to continue to work toward strengthening the party “as the election is approaching very fast.”

I, on behalf of Dimapur Rengma Bap-tist Church would like to bring this for the information of the general public and condemnation that, Sir the Head mistry/contractor of our church has been served with demand note/extor-tion note by the above stated faction in the name and title of Tsanthungo Ovung, Deputy Kilonser, Wokha Re-gion In-charge, NNC (Non Accordist) on 13/10/11 for payment of Rs. 10000/- within 20/10/11. In order to avoid un-wanted harassment, one Head mis-

try paid Rs. 5000/- and another Head mistry paid Rs. 4000/- respectively to the same person. However, within few days of payment another demand was made by the same person to the Head mistry. Due to continual harassment the head mistry has stopped coming to supervise the construction work of the church thereby hampering the construction.

The deacon Board and elders of the Church deliberated threadbare the contents of the demand and de-

cided to condemn such activities of the faction. Taxing our worker is di-rectly or indirectly taxing the Church as ultimately the church becomes the payer. If a non-Christian respect and keep the sanctity of the Church, should Naga Christian disrespect and abhor the House of God?

I Major C.P.Krichena,Naga Army would like to respond and clarify on the article on the Eastern Mirror on dated-19th Oct 2011,Under the cap-tion-“Alternative Arrange-ment” shall not encroach on Kukis traditional land by KSO.

Since time immemorial we the Nagas are protect-ing and fighting for our land, people and till today we are sacrificing our lives apart from free labour and ser-vice for our Nagas land and this will continue till the last drop of our blood bled. This

is not merely a claim but many of our people knows and stand witness to this, that our land never belongs to Kukis as claimed. I would like to stress a brief history of our Kuki brothers to the young and educated Kukis. Earliler your people were brought from Burma by Me-ities Maharajas to serve and guard them and their kins and gradually settled on our lands forcefully and illegally. You people came only after the British colonial invade India on the latter part of the 19th century. So the question

of Naga people encroach-ing on your land does never arise. It is therefore, my sin-cere advice to Kuki brothers never to claim our land today or tomorrow, if you want your separate district or whatever arrangements you need, go and seek your original mas-ters i.e. the Meities and nego-tiate with them. And this, you wouldn’t do because it is your master who brainwashed you with their evil design and pol-icies to have a confrontation with the Naga people.

He said setting up a farm school in the village with Apok Ze-liang as farm achiever, every member of potato growers should also consider oneself as an achiever since as per my observation everyone is taking keen interest in cul-tivating potato crop some years back. Earlier, Zieleigai Ndang SDAO & BTT Con-venor ATMA Tening Block had spoken in brief on the

concept, setting up of Farm School in rural areas under extension reforms while Apok an achiever on pota-to had shared his past and present experiences on po-tato cultivation with other crops taken up subsequent-ly as mixed, intercrop and relay cropping in the said location.

Every year many tour-ist visits Nagaland. Al-though it’s a slow pace, we are now gradually being sensed under the tourism radar. To catch public interest within the country and worldwide is

a big struggle, and it’s take maximum avail-able cracks. Ceaselessly, it’s very important to promote ourselves and Nagaland, and one best way is by encouraging and inviting tour-ist to our land.

As a travel journalist and writer, I’ve trav-eled across India and some other countries for the past seven years. I write about travel desti-nations, healthy travel measures and other in-formation related to tourism. It’s always good to know and understand tourists who visit us. Here are some tips and advices shared from my travel experiences to make our tourist have a comfortable stay in Nagaland.

Accommodation: Study shows, 80% of foreign and young Indian tourists, travel-ing in India do not look for luxurious hotels. Instead, B&B (Bed&Breakfast), guesthouse, rest house, cheap hotels and even dorms suits their budget more.

People running budgeted accommoda-tions have an edge over the others who charge slightly higher. Fixed price with clean rooms will also double the chances of travelers stay-ing in your hotel. Backpackers who are most likely to visit Nagaland may not require room services or scented bath tub, but maintain-ing a friendly staff would be a bonus. Tourists always look for security, for instance proper doors, windows and lock system. And, keep-ing the washroom clean is very important be-cause tourists are very particular about clean washroom. Tourist should also never feel cheated while staying in your hotel, in such cases, they also give bad remarks which will have negative impact on the business.

Transport: Most tourists would rather

walk 2km than pay Rs. 50 to the Auto drivers. Almost 90% of the tourists in India feel cheat-ed by taxi drivers, auto drivers, rickshaw pull-ers and other various travel agencies. Tourists will try to negotiate or bargain because they

do not feel secure most of the time. Remem-ber no tourist would blindly visit a particular destination without proper research.

Providing a healthy transportation sys-temisveryeasy.Simplyhaveafixedpriceforeach locationordestination.Unless ithighly required, a constant flexible price list will trigger curiosity. Never overcharge the tourists simply because they are new in your area, instead ask for tips. People don’t hesi-tate to tip for receiving good services.

Attitude: The natives contribute 70% accomplishment for a successful tourism en-vironment. There are many instances where the natives display hostile attitude towards tourist and at times, they even pick fights with the tourists. And, in such places, the in-flux of tourists met a drastic fall.

Natives or the local people in this case we (Nagas) should always display friendly attitude towards travelers. Travelers should feel at home and welcomed, and exchange of smiles and greet-

ings is a nice way to start with. Travelers are al-ways looking for someone to pick a conversation, with the intention to learn more about the place. Do not hesitate to approach travelers, welcome them for a conversation, that’s how people learn about places. Also, if you come across any uncom-fortable situation, try solving them in a subtle way or approach the right channel.

Management: Apart from beautiful landscape and activities, a healthy manage-

"Revolution 2020" by Chetan Bhagat, the widely awaited latest offering from Chetan Bhagat, has been already in the market for about a couple of weeks now. Perhaps, in re-cent times, Indian readers have not waited

as eagerly as they have for this latest book - "Revolution 2020" - by Chetan Bhagat. Has the waiting proved worthwhile to Chetan Bhagat's zillion fans? The indications are that it has. Chetan Bhagat does not seem to

have let his readers down with his "Revo-lution 2020". Chetan Bhagat started his career as a writer of fiction with "Five Point Someone" and followed it up with "One Night @ the Call Center", "The 3 Mistakes of My Life", and "2 States". "Revolution 2020"

Travel Comforts for Tourist in Nagalandment system is most encouraged. There are many tourist destinations, where foreign-ers are treated differently by the law, and it could be either more lenient or harsh.

The law of the land should be equal for all offenders. In many places, police provoke fear among travelers, which is not healthy. Remember, no tourist would be interested to travel to an insecure destination. The police on patrol should not be a threat, but a ref-uge. Also, tourists don’t really care what they wear. Their only concern is comfort. Besides, tourists are not the most fashionable people when they are traveling. And, this should not trigger otherwise activities and harass-ments, that authority must keep an eye.

Information: Proper information is the hallmark. No tourist would want to go to any place without a proper guide. There are times, when tourists seek help and advice, but all they get is varied and vague informa-tion. That discourages travelers, which also means bad review for that destination.

The best way is having information made available on the internet. Travel agencies, ho-tel owners and tourism office must also study the locality well. It’s a shame when travelers cannot be provided with accurate information. Running a hotel or a guest house isn’t very easy. It’s not only about providing shelter, but own-ers must know the area very well. They must be in a position to suggest and advice the travelers on all sorts of information, starting with basic amenities that we all require.

Tourists come with the purpose to learn something about our place, only to be shared with others around the globe. Besides, it’s not really an impossible task to make Nagaland a tourist friend destination. Because, we already have the attributes in us, we just got to realize our potentials. We Nagas are well known for our friendly attitude towards people who come and visit us. Besides, Hornbill festival is only a month away, and there is a need to provide our best services to tourists visiting our land. I hope these tips will bring a realization and im-prove our service quality.

Once upon a time, in small-town India, there lived two intelligent boys.One wanted to use his intelligence to make money.

One wanted to use his intelligence to create a revolution.The problem was, they both loved the same girl.

Y ou’dbehardpressedtofinda soulful young singer that has such an amazing and different voice than that of

British gem, Adele. She sings in a way that can’t really be characterize or compared to anyone in my vast cata-logue of music.

The 22 year old British marvel just released her sophomore album, 21, and is named after the age she was when she wrotethealbum(Iassumeherfirstal-bum, 19 was named similarly). Before I tell you my favorites, I wanted to share with you a dream concert: Adele, Flor-ence and the Machine, and Sia (Edit: who’s in fact, Australian). A British boss lady powerhouse! Allow your mind to be blown with the notion. First on my short list is the 8th track, I’ll Be Wait-ing. It’s a groovy, piano heavy funk track, with an uplifting energy that made me think Elton John was hang-ing out in the same room on the keys (premonition maybe?). A song about trying to win back the heart of the love

she let get away, Adele crawls to her lover with a dance-mash force.

He Won’t Go was pure head bob-bing R&B, with a slick bass line, and fluttering piano about it. The drums were also precise and crisp, following Adele’s words throughout the chorus. The 6th track, it deals with two lov-ers that despite what everyone says, and what seems right on paper, they can’t let each other go. After hearing so much about how heartbroken the songstress is, I imagine it was damn near impossible to write this track.

You most likely guessed my (and the world’s) favorite track on this al-bum. Rolling in the Deep has one of the catchiest choruses in years, and I’ve found myself playing the song on repeat.Thefirsttrackofthealbum,it talks about a simple concept: tak-ing the heart of a lover and playing it downright dirty. The song has a sim-ple message…you fucked up, dude. I can’t really describe how great the song is, so take a look at the equally impressive music video and see what I’m talking about.
