‘Shocked and bewildered’ NPF on ADGP Sharma transfer case
Kohima, November 26 (MExN): The Naga People’s Front (NPF) expressed ‘shock and bewilderment’ over the controversy surrounding the transfer of Additional Director General of Police (DGP), Rupin Sharma. In a press release, the NPF had claimed that the Deputy Chief Minister and in-charge of Home, Y Patton had ‘threatened’ the State Chief Secretary, R Benchilo Thong (IAS) on the subject matter of the transfer case.
The statement claimed that ADGP, Sharma who was removed as DGP, a couple of months back is ‘seeking for a deputation to Nagaland House, New Delhi’ but the “Home Commissioner has moved the file for grant of medical leaves which Sharma has not prayed for.”
As such, the matter was brought to the notice of the Chief Minister who has agreed to place him at Nagaland House, New Delhi.
The NPF statement claimed that Patton “has gone to the extent of threatening to finish off the Chief Secretary, Thong after his return from Mizoram.”
“How far are we going to bear these brunt and the unruly behavioral attitudes of our today’s political leaders”, asked the NPF and added that the Chief Secretary is sandwiched between Chief Minister and the Deputy CM due to their clash of interest and not for the welfare of the state.
The NPF also stated that it is ‘amused’ at the silence maintained by the PDA Chief Minister and all these controversies depicts deep insecurity within the alliance.

Paris, November 26 (IANS): A report by the United Nations and its partners on Monday showed overall global wealth was rising but at the cost of environmental assets, such as water, clean air, forests and biodiversity.
Korea, Singapore and Malta came out on top of a biennial survey of growth in the wealth of nations, according to the preliminary findings which were presented by the UN Environment and partners on the sidelines of the Global Finance Roundtable in Paris.
The Inclusive Wealth Report 2018, the full findings of which will be released in coming weeks, was curated by over 200 economists from around the world.
It explores alternatives to using Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a measure of a country’s wealth and says the GDP measures the size of a country’s economy, but not its underlying asset base.
Instead, it uses inclusive wealth, which focuses on human and natural capital.
By this measure, 44 of the 140 countries — more than a third — ranked in the report’s Inclusive Wealth Index have declined in inclusive wealth per head since 1998, even though GDP has increased in many of them.
“The health of an economy is drawn from the health of the environment,” Senior Economic Advisor at UN Environment and coordinator of the report Pushpam Kumar said in a statement.
“To make the right choices that will keep us on a sustainable path, we have to be able to properly measure our progress. This report will equip policy-makers with the right numbers, so that they can make the right decisions to deliver results for generations to come.”
The report follows a study from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that found that just 12 years remain to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
It adds in absolute terms, carbon damage is relatively large in high-income countries.
By allowing countries to measure their holistic wealth stock comprising manufactured, human and natural capital, countries can then observe their peaks and troughs over time, mapping out a means for navigating future development endeavours and sustainability.
The Inclusive Wealth Report is a biennial report that seeks to evaluate and report on a country’s wealth and well-being through the Inclusive Wealth index, a tool assessing a nation’s ability to look after its wealth in a way that is sustainable and safeguards its future generations.

OPPO to debut SuperVOOC charging with new smartphone in December
New Delhi, November 26 (IANS): After launching its patented flash charging technology in smartphones, Chinese smartphone-maker OPPO on Monday announced that the brand is set to debut an even better version of fast-charging technology — SuperVOOC — with the launch of “R17 Pro” smartphone in December in India.
With SuperVOOC in OPPO’s latest offering, the devices would charge 40 per cent charge in 10 minutes, the company said in a statement.
From VOOC to SuperVOOC, the output power is maximised from 5V, 4A and 20W to 10V, 5A and close to 50W — which will save time and facilitate fast and safe charging.
The technology adopts a bi-cell design, which during charging can distribute the output voltage of 10V and reduce the voltage of each cell by half.
The SuperVOOC technology is also patented by OPPO and has been designed as a solution to the need for a quick, reliable, safe and long-lasting charging technology with a five-core protection that would check the safety level when the phone is charging, the company said.
All nodes including the charging plug, USB cable, mobile phone and battery are separately protected by specialised chips.
Oppo’s VOOC charger was first introduced with the launch of “F1 Plus” smartphone in India in 2016.
