Imphal, March 31 (NNN): First time elected MLA from Saikul assembly constituency Yamthong Haokip toured parts of his constituency today overseeing the road condition and meet people. Driving down a bumpy and dusty road along with his supporters, Yamthong Haokip said Saikul constituency which has been neglected for so long will see a fresh lease of life soon. The Saikul representative said he will not disappoint his people.
The stretch of road from Imphal to Saikul is a nightmare for the commuters as potholes and dust disrupt them. If a vehicle runs before another one, the driver of the tailing vehicle is lost in the thick cloud of dust as the visibility becomes almost nil.
“During dry season, the bumpy road and dust have been the cause of concern and during rainy season different problems crop up,” rues Lalboi Haokip, a resident of Saikul.
Speaking at Tuinamjang village in a programme, Yamthong Haokip said he will share the hardship of the people of his constituency of his people and put his maximum effort to address the problems.
After touring parts of his constituency in the first half of the day, Yamthong Haokip came to Saikul bazar and attended the closing ceremony of the 2nd Khanglai Meet, 2012 which was an open football tournament of the Kuki-Chin-Mizo.
Addressing at the programme, the Saikul MLA expressed happiness saying in spite of the backwardness of the area, the people could organise a big sports meet as the 2nd Khanglai Meet, 2012. Besides contributing a financial help and donating sports items to the organisers of the sports meet, Yamthong Haokip assured that he would fully endorse the organisers of Khanglai Meet in the coming years.
Also expresing his happiness for giving an opportunity to serve the Saikul constituency, Yamthong Haokip assured the mammoth gathering that he will not waste time in putting his effort and attention in order to bring all rounds development in the constituency. “Kindly extend your co-operation to me, I will try my best to bring all rounds development in Saikul constituency,” appeals Yamthong Haokip.
Also addressing the sports meet, Kuki Inpi, Saikul block president Thangkam Hangmi expressed his hope that if this type of sports meet is held often, many talented youngsters will have exposure. He urged the organisers not to discourage in organising such events though hardships are on their way and effort.

Imphal. March 31 : The 12 hour bandh called today by the militant outfit Maoist Communist Party over the death of two handymen of a bus which caught fire while they were sleeping inside it affected normal life in Imphal and other districts of the state. The two markets of the capital, Imphal, Thangal Bazar and Paona Bazar bore a deserted look as all shops remained closed. Educational institutions, banks, business establishments and government offices were also closed due to the general strike called from 6 in the morning to 6 in the evening today.
Inter-state and inter-district transportation was severely affected as buses, vans, autos remained off the road, and only few private vehicles could be seen plying on the roads of Imphal.
The general strike had been called by the Maoist Communist Party to condemn the killing of the two young handymen Ningthoujam Mangal alias Naoba, 18, s/o N. Shanti of Wangoi Laiphakpam, Thoubal district and Abung @ Boy, 19, of Singhat, Churachandpur district who were sleeping in the bus (Ayangleima) owned by one Adhikarimayum Dhanabir of Keisampat Leimajam Leikai. The bus was operating bus service between Imphal and Churachandpur.
It may be mentioned the two handymen were rushed to the Regional Institute of Medical Science with burn injuries by local people, but the succumbed to their injuries at the hospital. It may also be mentioned that passenger bus service on the Imphal-Churachandpur road had been stopped a few days before the unfortunate incident following disagreement over certain matters between the All Manipur Bus Owners Federation and All Lamka Taxi Owners’ Society.

PIB Feature
Urbanization and industrialization- the two facets of development are becoming the cornerstone of all developing countries and much the same is true for India. Though the two sound encouraging, but bring in the problem of enormous generation of wastes. In fact, the problem is gaining greater currency as these wastes are becoming sources of pollution. Most wastes that are generated find their way into landfills and water bodies. Significantly, these are disposed off without proper treatment and hence emerge as sources of green house gases like methane and carbon dioxide. The solution to it lies in the practice of treating the wastes before disposal and using it in the production of energy. It would be a two-pronged approach wherein not only the waste would be rendered environment friendly thereby mitigating pollution but at the same time generate a substantial quantity of energy so essential for meeting developmental needs.
There are various procedures through which energy from waste can be generated.
Biomethanation
First and foremost is Anaerobic Bigestion or Biomethanation. In this process, the organic waste is segregated and fed into a biogas digester. The waste undergoes biodegradation under anaerobic conditions to produce methane rich biogas. The so produced biogas can be used for cooking, heating, generating electricity etc. The sludge can be used as a manure depending on the composition of the input waste.
Combustion/Incineration
The next procedure is Combustion/Incineration which is direct burning of wastes in the presence of
excess air (oxygen) at high temperatures (about 800C). It results in conversion of 65%-80% of heat content of organic matter into hot air, steam and hot water. The steam generated can be used in steam turbines to generate power.
Pyrolysis/Gasification
Pyrolysis/Gasification is another process of chemical decomposition of organic matter through heat.
The organic matter is heated in the absence or restricted supply of air till it breaks down into smaller molecules of gas (known collectively as syngas). The gas so produced is known as producer gas which constitutes carbon monoxide (25%), hydrogen and hydrocarbons(15%), carbon dioxide and nitrogen(60%). The producer gas is burnt in internal combustion (IC) generator sets or turbines to produce electricity.
Landfill Gas Recovery
Landfill Gas Recovery is another measure of recovering gas from waste dumps wherein the waste slowly decomposes to produce ‘Landfill gas’. This gas consists of high percentage of methane (approx.50%) and has a high calorific value of about 4500kcal/cubic metre and hence can be used for heating cooking and generating power.
Plasma Arc
Plasma Arc is a relatively new technology for disposal of wastes, particularly, hazardous and radioactive wastes. Since it involves nearly complete destruction of waste while producing energy, it is less polluting. It does not produce oxides of nitrogen and sulphur and makes toxic ash left in the process easier to handle. However, the technology is costly and has not been tried in India.
Advantage of Using Waste for Energy
Another significant advantage of using waste for energy is reduction in the demand for landfills in land scarce cities. The cost of transportation of wastes is also reduced. In some cases, it can produce fertilizer as a by- product. But, on the flip side, the technologies are at present often expensive and even imported in India. The approximate cost per MW for waste to energy projects based on different technologies is high. While for Biomethanation, it ranges between 6-9 crores, for Gasification and Combustion, it is in the order of 9-10 crores. However, there is a financial support provided in the scheme ranging from 20 lakhs to 3 crores.
It is estimated that there is a potential of generating 3600MW of power from urban, municipal and industrial wastes in the country and it is likely to be increased to 5200MW by 2017. It can be set up by the urban local bodies, government as well as participation by the private developers.
At the end of February, 2012 the cumulative achievement of grid interactive power from waste was 36.20 MW in urban sector and 53.46 MW in industrial sector. In off-grid/ captive power cases the cumulative achievement of waste to energy capacities was 3.50 MWeq for urban sector and 90.15 MWeq for industrial sector. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is encouraging such feats to bring in an era of sustainable development by deriving energy through wastes.

New Delhi, Mar 31 (ANI): Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi on Saturday said that the large amount of money seized in Jharkhand during the Rajya Sabha polls was a shocker for the entire nation.
“It is a shocker not just for us but also for the entire nation, it is very unfortunate if horse trading like this is going on in the Rajya Sabha elections,” said Quraishi. Quraishi further said that he took action after he received complaints from political leaders and the media.
“See we had received complaints from senior political leaders like Mr. Marandi (Babu Lal Marandi) and before that Mr. Sharad Yadav had complained, Gurudas Dasgupta also complained about it and media had reported about the matter that such kinds of transactions are taking place.
So we had alerted our machinery in Bihar, a day before the incident, to alert the income tax machinery to keep vigilance on such activities,” he said.
Expressing happiness over the work done by the income tax authorities, Quraishi added that in light of such evidence it was necessary to cancel the elections. “I am very happy that the income tax authorities worked very efficiently in capturing the car carrying 2.15 crore rupees. And those who were caught also told that there were two more cars behind it in which money was kept and which went back.
So in light of such evidence, we thought it was necessary that we took some action, and so we wrote a letter to president to cancel this election and conduct it again,” added Quraishi.
The Election Commission (EC) on Friday countermanded the Rajya Sabha polls in Jharkhand after the seizure of over two crore rupees from the car of a candidate’s relative.
The income tax officials had seized cash of over two crore rupees from Namkum area in Ranchi and arrested two persons along with the cash.
It was reported that the car belonged to the brother of R. K. Aggarwal, who was contesting as an independent candidate in the Rajya Sabha polls from Jharkhand.
