The Chief Minister is expected to return here tomorrow.\

On the other hand, CPI, which is partner of the Congress led SPF Government is likely to contest for the seats of the Churachandpur District Council only and stay away from the election in the other two District Councils.

In this regard, State secretary of the party L Iboyaima has informed that whether the party would field its candidates in all the seats of the Churachandpur District Council or not would be decided in the next couple of days.

Meanwhile, RJD, which is supporting the SPF Government, is preparing to contest in 30 seats in the first phase of the District Council elections.

April 29: Hmar community's one and only social networking site Hmarrunpui.com will be down for some days due to some problems with the hosting company, viz. Manashosting.com, according to side admin Pu Nelson.

The hosting company has been under fire from many of its customers. "They promise big things and delivers just a fraction of that," says an enraged customer in one of the consumer forums.

Fans and account holders in Hmarrunpui.com are requested to have patience while the admin is digging out the database as "as Manashosting refused to give" access to the social netwoking site database.

The site is expected to be up again by end of this week.

Imphal, April 28: The Manipur Tribal Joint Action Committee Against Election Under Unwanted District Council Act (MTJACAEUUDCA) has called three days total bandh in Manipur hill districts as a mark of the beginning of Black-Day starting from April 30 midnight.

The Manipur tribal JAC body also asked all the tribal Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) of the Hill Areas Committee (HAC) under Manipur Legislatice Assembly to resign immediately from their respective representation as ministers or MLAs as they have failed to live-up with the expectation of the tribal people.

The tribal JAC also appealed all political parties to accept the move of the intending candidates when they withdraw their candidatures.

Attacking the Secular Progressive Front (SPF) government led by O. Ibobi Singh as anti-tribal people, the agitating tribal body said, “It is an anathema to the tribal people from now on-forthwith”.

Meanwhile, taking a dig at the statement made by N. Biren, Irrigation and Flood Control department (IFCD) and sport minister published in all the leading local dailies on Wednesday, the tribal JAC queried the minister that as to how the demand for extension of 6th Schedule of the Constitution can be unconstitutional, adding with a question, "Could such demand can fragment the Manipur state?"

It further asked the minister, “Has Manipur been broken into pieces because of the 8th Schedule, the 11th Schedule (Panchayati Raj) and the 12th Schedule (Imphal Municipality Council) which were being given to the state of Manipur valley ?”

Cautioning the minister ‘not to repeat irresponsible and unbecoming expression’, the tribal body suggested ‘to realize that the Indian Constitution originally contained 395 Articles and 9th Schedule was articulated and framed, adding it would be a suicide to go against the 6th Schedule of the Constitution of India’.

The tribal JAC then said that the bandh will cover the railway-line works from Jiri to Imphal. It however, maintained the essential services will be relaxed from the bandh purview.

 Ty11Jacintha2 *Hmar students want link-bridge over Tuivai river to facilitate links with Mizoram during monsoon

By Lalmalsawm  Sungte

April 24, 2010: Churachandpur district commissioner Ms Jacintha Lazarus’ surprise one-day visit to Hmar villages in Manipur’s Parbung sub-division on April 21 has set people talking about development issues again and the Tamilian IAS lady officer herself.

According to reports received here, the people were so impressed by Ms Jacintha’s desire to meet them that in very villages she was “warmly received by the locals who aired their grievances without any reservations.”

Sources said that Ms Jacintha was scheduled to attend only the District Level Co-ordination Committee Review Meeting at Thanlon sub-divisional headquarters on April 20. But on the morning of April 21, she changed her plan and headed for Parbung sub-divisional headquarters, which is some 80-plus km away from Thanlon.

“Ms Jacintha told her team to take her to Ruonglevaisuo (Tipaimukh) area where there is practically no functional government machinery. She had always wanted to see for herself the ground realities,” the source added.

The commissioner’s team made brief stoppages at Pherzawl, Damdiei,Taithu, Parbung, Lungthulien and Senvon villages.

At Parbung sub-headquarters representatives of Hmar Welfare Association and Hmar Students Association met Ms Jacintha at the IB Center and submitted their grievances in writing. “We asked her to speed up the reconstruction work of NH-150 connecting Mizoram and Manipur,” they said over phone.

Members of the Tipaimukh Area Development Front (TADF) also asked Ms Jacintha to take up re-construction work of Tuivai Leilak (bridge) to facilitate links with Mizoram during the monsoon season. Another prominent demand of the representatives was the construction of a Mini-Sport Stadium at Parbung.

The sub-divisional staff members who accompanied Ms Jacintha literally turned purpled when they were openly snubbed by HSA leaders during the reception function held at Parbung. “The SDO and TD Block staff members and the medical officials are present today here just because of you. We don’t even know their names,” they told the district magistrate, who looked stunned.

And in Lungthulien village, the TADF members informed Ms Jacintha that Tipaimukh constituency never got the 9000-metric tonne rice sanctioned by the Central government last year in view of mautam. “In the Agriculture Input Subsidy people in Tipaimukh area are given just Rs.1000/-while other subdivisions got Rs 2000/-approx,” Ms Jacintha was informed.

To take action

Listening patiently to the people and their angst against state government officials, the district commissioner assured them that she will take necessary steps to make corrective changes once she is back in office.

An analyst who spoke on condition of anonymity said that Ms Jacintha’s approach and strategy is completely different from her predecessor Mr Sumant Singh. “Mr Sumant Singh was like a stamp sent by vested groups. This young lady is his opposite,” another observer said.

Ms Jacintha had already visited Vangai TD Block under Tipaimuk sub-division last month to take stock of the ground realities. It may be mentioned that Churachandpur district was and is still the stronghold of militants. However, if one is to go by the current situations, Ms Jacintha has garnered an unwavering support of all sections of the people with her USP- development. But, the question in everyone’s mind is whether this “brave” Indian civil servant from Tamil Nadu has the guts to carry forward her development plans in this trouble-torn part of the country. Only time will tell.

Shimla, April 22, 2010: Swami Nithyananda — who faces charges of rape, criminal nithyananda intimidation and cheating and has been absconding for over a month — was on Wednesday arrested along with four others from village Mamleeg in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh.

The Karnataka-based Nithyananda has been on the run since March 23, when the Karnataka High Court rejected his application for anticipatory bail and quashing of criminal cases against him. He was nabbed from the sleepy Mamleeg, which is near Arki town in Solan district, about 50 km from here.

Swami, along with his close associate Gopalsalesh Reddy and three others, was arrested by a Bangalore Police team with assistance from the State police. He would be produced in a local court on Thursday and taken to Karnataka for interrogation.

“Swami Nithyananda was arrested by a joint team of Himachal Pradesh and Bangalore Police from Mamleeg village. He was staying in a house there for the past few days,” said Additional Director General of Police ID Bhandari.

Two of those arrested belong to Delhi. “The Himachal Police got a fax from Karnataka Police on April 17, stating they had information that Nithyananda was hiding in Himachal Pradesh. Subsequently, two DSPs reached Shimla for investigation,” Bhandari said.

“The Karnataka Police came to know of Nityananda’s whereabouts through a mobile call he had made. The accused may be taken back to Karnataka on Thursday morning,” Bhandari added.

“The police have recovered three laptops and eight mobile phones from Swami and his associates. A SIM card, procured in Himachal Pradesh, was also in their possession but it was seldom used,” Bhandari said, adding that Swami also made some international calls.

Rajinder Singh, who headed the Himachal Police team, said Swami’s location was traced with help from a local taxi driver, who had ferried the five to a nearby place some days back.

Swami Nityananda and Reddy never moved out of the rented house, while the other three used to visit the nearby market for buying groceries etc. Moreover, police said, Nityananda did not stop donning his saffron robe.

MS Hussain, a police officer from Karnataka, disclosed that Nityananda and Reddy reached Himachal Pradesh via Haridwar and stayed in the village. The police also recovered $7,000 and Rs 3 lakh from Nityananda and Reddy, who have been booked under Sections 295A, 376, 377, 420, 506 and 120B of the IPC.

After the Karnataka High Court rejected his anticipatory bail plea, Nityananda had quit as head of his ashram, Dhyanapeetam, located about 35 km from Bangalore. Swami has been maintaining that he had done nothing illegal.


Senvon, April 21, 2010: More than 30 houses were damaged by heavy rain and storm yesterday night in Senvon village situated along the Mizoram-Manipur border, villagers said over mobile phone which was cut off intermittently due to inclement weather conditions.

As mobile phone connectivity could not be re-established due to the heavy rain and storm, no detailed information could be confirmed with regards to the exact number of houses destroyed and number of persons injured in many of the remote villages of the sub-division.

Till date, the Government of Manipur is yet to take stock of the situation and to determine the extend of damages done to the people in the area. Also, no relief materials has been sent or compensation given to the victims or people of the area as been provided to victims in other parts of the State.

Senvon is the largest village in Manipur and is inhabited by the Hmar Mizo community.

London, April 19 (ANI): A 12-year-old Indian girl, who was abandoned at a railway station in Bihar as an infant, has become the head teacher at a school in Kusumbhara, headmistress her adopted village.

Bharti Kumari teaches Hindi, English and maths to 50 village kids who would otherwise receive no education.

She gives them lessons every morning and evening, under the shade of a mango tree. In between, she attends a state school in Akhodhi Gola, a two-mile walk away.

In her school uniform, she passes on the knowledge gleaned from her lessons to the village children, aged between four and 10, in her own class.

"I have a long day. My school is from 10am to 3pm and I study late. This is what I love doing. I enjoy teaching children their ABCs as well as the Hindi alphabets," Times Online quoted her as saying.

Kusumbhara is a poverty-stricken village 87 miles from Patna, the state capital.

Rampati, Bharti's adoptive father, an impoverished farmhand, said he would not follow the rural tradition of pushing girls into early marriages but would allow her to continue her studies. (ANI)

(Delhi, May 12, 2006)

Sakawrdai, April 17, 2010: The Hmar Peoples Convention-Democratic (HPC-D) in its press statement today urged the Mizoram government to reconsider its policy on the construction of the controversial Tipaimukh Dam project to be built near the Mizoram and Manipur border.
The armed HPC-D group is an offshoot of the Hmar People’s Convention (HPC), which came into existence in 1986, spearheading a movement for self-government in the north and northeast of Mizoram.

H. Zosangbera, General Secretary of the HPC-D, stated that it is the duty of the Mizoram government to provide protection to the people in the demand areas of the HPC-D. Last year, the HPC-D demanded the creation of Hmar Territorial Council (HTC) in the State of Mizoram within the scope of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India.

The HPC-D stated that it is firmly committed not to seek separation from Mizoram but to strengthen it against outside actors who are planning to steal and grasp the rich natural resources and land of the people of Mizoram.

It also added that if the Tipaimukh Dam is forcibly built without first considering the destructive impacts it will have on Mizoram and its people, and without taking the consent of the Hmar people, it will create more conflict and bloodshed.

The press statement also said that if the Mizoram government allows the dam to be built, then it will be fighting against its own people. It asked the Mizoram government in protecting the interests of its people and land.

The armed group destroyed the foundation stone of Tipaimukh Dam and some drilling machinery used by NEEPCO in 2008 at the remote Tipaimukh Dam site.
The Tipaimukh Dam is a 1500MW hydroelectric project proposed to be built 500 metres downstream of the confluence of the Tuivai river (Mizoram) and Tuiruong (Barak) rivers in Manipur.

Last year, the Government of India asked the NHPC Ltd, Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd (SJVN) and the Government of Manipur to form a joint venture (JV) for developing the project. NHPC would hold a majority 69 per cent stake in the project, while SJVN would take up another 26 per cent stake. The remaining 5 per cent would go in favour of the Manipur government.
The project was initially awarded to the state-owned utility North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Ltd (NEEPCO). The company had, however, expressed its inability to take up the project citing lack of budgetary support. The Mizoram government had 1-2 percent stake then.
Different national and international organisations have long been resisting the construction of the Tipaimukh Dam.

cop out film Cast: Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan, Guillermo Diaz, Ana de la Reguera Director: Kevin Smith.

If there is one thing audience loves about comedy based on cops, it’s usually the unmatched spirit of friendship as seen in ‘Lethal Weapon’ and ‘Rush Hour’ series. Sadly, the relationship of two NYPD cops Jimmy (Willis) and Paul (Morgan), even after being partners for nine years in the film, hardly generates any such chemistry.

After a botched attempt to get the baddies, the two cops are suspended and with no pay Jimmy decides to sell a family a prized baseball card to pay for his daughter’s wedding. But, baseball-obsessed drug kingpin Po’ Boy (Diaz) is interested in the card for reasons known to him. He tells Jimmy and Paul to retrieve his stolen Mercedes in exchange for the card. However, when they realise that there is kidnapped woman Gabriela (Reguera) in the car, their focus shifts to rescuing her.

This film is one of the worst comedies on cops bonding. Willis and Morgan fail to bring out the Chan-Tucker comedic touch or the camaraderie shown by Gibson and Glover in ‘Lethal Weapon’. The script tries its best injecting some winking moments but is sapped by the slow pace.

‘Cop Out’ is childish and sloppy like the two main characters.

HPC D Hmar rebels Aizawl, Apr 15 (PTI) The Hmar community, living in the Mizoram-Manipur border areas today asked Mizoram government to initiate peace talks with the Manipur-based underground Hmar People's Convention-Democrat (HPC-D) for a lasting solution to Hmar insurgency problem.

A press statement issued by the Sinlung Hills Area Village Council Co-ordination Committee said the Hmar community living in the area adjoining Manipur border have been facing extreme hardships due to insurgency for years.

HPC-D was formed in the wake of the surrender of Hmar People's Convention (HPC) cadre along with arms to the state government in 1997 by Lalhmingthanga Sanate, the then Assistant General Secretary of the outfit.

The HPC started an armed insurrection in 1989 demanding a separate autonomous district council for the Hmar community by slicing the north-eastern part of Mizoram.

Silchar, April 12, 2010: Hundreds of people representing Bengali, Manipuri, Naga, Khasi, Reang, Dimasa and other communities living in southern part of Assam district staged demonstration in front of Deputy Commissioner’s office at Silchar last week demanding total scrapping of controversial Tipaimukh Dam to be constructed on Barak River.

During the demonstration they shouted slogans condemning government’s attitude and demanded immediate scraping of this project.

Pijus Kanti Das, Secretary General of Committee on Peoples and Environment (COPE) and a number of leaders from different organizations and groups joined the demonstration before the DC’s office.

It may be mentioned that the people, both in Manipur and neighboring country Bangladesh are strongly opposing this project for a long time, but the NHPC, Sutlej Jal Vidyut Nigam and Manipur government are signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to start this 1500 MW project.

The demonstrators later sent memoranda separately to the President Pratibha Devi Singh Patil, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Union Minister for Forest and Environment, Jairam Ramesh, Assam Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi and Manipur Chief Minister, O Ibobi Singh through DC, Cachar.

In these memoranda they raised few pertinent issues and expressed their concern about the impact on people and environment emanating from the construction of Tipaimukh Dam at the upstream of Barak River.They observed that during recent days, lot of hue and cry is being registered opposing the construction of a ‘water bomb’ at Tipaimukh.

A handful of protests have been witnessed in Manipur, Mizoram, Barak Valley of Assam, besides many other from neighboring country Bangladesh.They believed that there should be an extensive downstream environmental impact study from the proposed dam site up to sea-mouth and it should be jointly conducted at the initiative of the Government of India and Bangladesh, where experts from Non Government Organizations, particularly, from the environmental outfits, IITs and Universities, must be included to assess the possible detrimental impact on the environment and life of inhabitants in catchment areas at large.

Without downstream impact study, if a clean-chit to the project is given it would be detrimental for both environment and people at large and poor rural people of both in India and Bangladesh in particular.

They further mentioned that the proposed dam falls at the confluence of Indo-Burma, Indo-Malayan and Indo-Chinese biodiversity hotspot zone.

These areas are characterized by the presence of a large number of plant and animal species, like tiger, hillock gibbon, hornbill, turtle, dolphin etc.

many of which are not seen or seldom witnessed in other parts of the world.

A large number of them have been categorized as endangered and threatened as the IUCN Red Data Book and the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972.Once the dam is constructed, these innocent endangered and threatened species would have no other alternative, but to perish.

Moreover, many of the tribal people including Hmar, Zeliangrong, Kuki, Mizo and others who have been living there for generations will have to leave the place for ever.

Under such a situation the construction of a dam at the proposed site cannot be taken in favor of biodiversity conservation.

The COPE strongly believed and observed with deep concern that this rock filled 390 mts long and 1628 mt high dam to be constructed at the earthquake zone-V, wherein there will be constant pressure of water, if for any reason cracks, the entire civilization of the whole of downstream will be washed down in no time.

The age old Barak-Surma culture will live in the history only.

Besides the above mentioned burning issues, other important impacts like flush floods, water scarcity, crop cultivation, navigation siltation, ecological imbalance and river pollution, extinction of aquatic life forms, livelihood change and the likes are never the less important frontier areas that deserve careful and serious attention before construction of the dam.

They urged to consider all the matters seriously and looking the entire issues from the pro-environment and pro-human point of view to scrap the proposal of construction of Tipaimukh Dam, the life time curse for the inhabitants of Barak-Surma Basin.

New Delhi, April 12, 2010: Former President of Hmar Inpui (Hmar Supreme House) Mr. HK Joute has denied that he had written to Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting Ms Ambika Soni with regard to the non-objection of use of Paite as official link language in the proposed Local Radio Station of All India Radio, Churachandpur.

In a letter to the Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting dated April 9, 2010, Mr. Joute said that he had never written any letter to her on the issue.

It may be mentioned the on November 22, 2006, some people purportedly submitted a letter supposedly written by Mr. Joute to the Union Minister giving a clean chit to Paite language to be the official link language of the much delayed Churachandpur AIR station.

Claiming that the letter was the “handiwork of some individuals and people with vested interests”, Mr. Joute said, “That (letter) is a total lie and fabricated and the same was never written by me.”

Mr. Joute also said that the Hmar Inpui has a tradition of putting agenda before its Executive Committee and resolutions passed in writing. “The said letter does not have any reference of our Executive Meeting – its date and resolution numbers, etc”, Mr. Joute said.

Terming the letter “a testimony of its duplicity and (works of) forgery”, Mr. Joute informed that the Hmar Inpui never count the Hmar Youth Association (HYA) and the Hmar Students’ Association (HSA) as ‘sister organisations’ but as ‘constituent members’ and are independent in their own. The ‘fake letter’ had claimed that Hmar Youth Association and HSA were ‘sister organisations’.

He also said that he will take legal proceedings against the perpetrators of the “forged letter” and is currently consulting his legal advisor.

Mr. Joute also requested the Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting to treat the said letter as null and void and to take no decision on the same.

The copies of Mr. Joute’s letter have been forwarded to Chief Minister of Manipur, Chief Executive Officer of Prashar Bharati, Director General of All India Radio, Deputy Director General (NER II) and Station Director (AIR, Imphal).

Guwahati, April 7, 2010: Social activists in the Northeast are being victimised by the state for opposing dams and industry. Many are being branded as Maoists and ULFA with one of them being a national award winning RTI activist.

Chairman of Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti Akhil Gogoi has been branded a Maoist even though he is a national award winner for his RTI activism.

"Much before the National Tribal Forest Act, we have been fighting for forest dwellers of Northeast. They have to get their patta (papers) and forest rights. This is Assam's biggest movement now," he says about his cause.

However, a report mentions Gogoi's apparent meeting with Maoists in Golaghat district of Assam. Bhuban Pegu, a Missing leader and another social worker has also been named as a Maoist. Under pressure the Assam government has now admitted that the report was an error.

"They have been named as Maoists, also as Hujis and as ULFA, NDFB supporters. Why? Because we have been coordinating and working together against the construction of big dams in Arunachal Pradesh and we have been demanding local patta for ordinary farmers," says Ganasakti MLA Bhuban Pegu.

he Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti has been opposing big dams like the 2000 MW Lower Subansiri Dam project in the ecologically fragile Brahmaputra basin.

They've also been demanding land for marginal farmers and there have been vicious crackdown on their protests. It's a trend echoed in Manipur. NGO worker Jiten has been against the proposed Tipaimukh Dam.

He was arrested under the National Security Act in September 2009 and later released. His medical report mentions severe pain in private parts due to electric shock.

It is not just Manipur or Assam as activists have also been threatened in Arunachal Pradesh as well.

Dissent of any kind is not only being dubbed as anti-state and anti-development, it's an either with us or them approach seems to be the only rule.
