Vehicle lifters are prowling everywhere. They work in group chalking out strategy and operate like professionals. Police caught too many of them but they escaped scot free. Thieves’ mentality remains unknown. How they operate and the strategies they adopt need to be elaborately described. Vehicle owners do not know when and how the lifters act, so they carelessly leave behind their vehicles on the street and courtyard. If they the modus operandi adopted by the thieves they will be able to take precautionary measures and they may keep their vehicles safe beyond the reach of the thieves. The owners, who have been deprived of their two wheelers by the thieves have different stories to tell, many sound funny and others mindboggling. While negotiating the price of vegetable the two wheeler, which was parked nearby was pushed away slowly to disappear. When he turned back what he found was the imprint of the tyre. He was a miserly person. The thief knew he would waste nearly one hour to bargain the price of coriander leaves worth Rs five. Then another had his Honda Acitva gone within minutes of his entry to a hotel to have a bottle of cold drink. Does not the story sound funny? In the two incidents the owners’ foolishness is exposed. The duo was different from other smart guys, who buy vegetables without actually getting down from the vehicle and exchanging the item with money by remaining on the driver’s seat. A lady employee, whose two-wheeler was lost said she parked the vehicle at the roadside of the Kangla pat. Manipur will continue to hear the news of the loss of vehicles as long as owners show carelessness in parking their vehicles. One must be vigilant of one’s own vehicle. Do not park the vehicle at the area which does not have care taker. Drug addicts joining the profession is a dangerous trend. Because the addicts need money more than anybody else to buy drugs. They show readiness to do anything if they would be given some money. Their thinking capability having been disturbed by the drugs they cannot see the harms they are doing to the society. They can be used even for hurling hand grenade. This is sorry state of affairs which we have witnessed in Manipur. Thieves are everywhere waiting for the opportune moment to begin their job, therefore vehicle owners should calculate the time being taken in meeting friends or buying goods from the shop. If they would depart from their vehicles for prolonged period of time they should use extra locking system to deceive the thief. Tuition goers use a method inserting an iron rod in the engine before going to the teacher’s house. Similar method can be applied by others also. Manipur police having talked to the thieves might have known how the thieves operate. Speak it out to make owners wiser that will be of immense help in controlling the menace of vehicle lifting from the crowded bazaar area.

Mail News Service
Imphal, Sep 5 : Two havildars of the 28 Assam Rifles were wounded in a powerful Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast at Keishampat in the heart of the Imphal on Wednesday.
The injured have been identified as Rajendra Kumar, 32, a havildar, son of Gopal Ram, hailing from the village of Kotyared in Almari district, Uttarkhand and Birendra, 40, also a havildar from the state of Himachal Pradesh. They were taken to Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) here for medical treatment.
Reports said the blast ocurred around 8:40 a.m. when the IED believed to have planted on a scooter grey in colour targeted at the 28 Assam Rifles team, injuring two of them, one critically. The security personnel were taking rest at the spot after an ROP duty for the day when the IED exploded. The registration number of the two wheeler involved in the blast was MN0-4 1242. The scooter was completely destroyed in the explosion. One Tata Magic van and another Hyundai i10 car were also damaged in the blast.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
In the meantime, womenfolk of Keishampat staged a sit-in to protest the attack and appealed to all concerned not to repeat such incident in such a densely populated area in future.
Meanwhile, one rifleman of City Police was hurt when a Sub-inspector accidentally fired one shot from his service revolver at Imphal City Police Station.
The wounded is identified as Chabungbam Iboyaima, 32, son of late Ch Lilasingh, a resident of Thangmeiband Yumnam Leikai and the SI as AK Dilip from Thoubal district.
The incident happened around 8 a.m. when AK Dilip accidentally fired one shot from his service revolver which hit in Iboyaima’s right neck.
He was rushed to Raj Polyclinic but referred to Shija Hospital .
A HQ IGAR S press hand out said in view of the forth coming Panchayat elections in the Imphal Valley and the festive season ahead underground groups have planned to disturb fragile peace in Manipur by intensifying their subversive activities such as bomb blast, targeting media people and Govt employees, planting of IEDs and lobbing of grenades near important institution and at residents of Govt employees. To support their malicious intentions, large numbers of attempts are being made by various underground outfits to infiltrate from International Border in order to create disturbance in the State. Troops of Assam Rifles, being on high alert and maintaining strict vigilance by dominating International Border have foiled many infiltration attempts made by various groups in recent past. This has contributed immensely in ensuring environmental security to the people of Manipur. A combination of failed infiltration attempts, large number of surrenders evident by two recent surrender ceremonies at Mantripukhri, inability of the undergrounds to interfere with coming panchayat elections and disturb prevalent peace in the Manipur state has left the CorCom demoralised and disparate. In desperation and in an attempt to make their presence felt, the CorCom has started resorting to acts which might endanger the local population, if their nefarious designs succeed. In one such attempt today at 0845h an IED exploded near Keishampat Junction which led to two Jawans of Assam Rifles and a civilian suffering minor injuries. The cowardly action carried out by CorCom shows the frustration among the insurgent groups who wants peace, tranquility and prosperity in Manipur to be disturbed at any cost. Undeterred troops of Assam Rifles along with other Security Forces are ready for supreme sacrifice to defeat nefarious designs of UG groups and ensure that none of the evil design of the terrorist fructify it was added.”

TAMENGLONG, Sept 5: The militant outfit Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has said that exploration or excavation of mineral deposits in Zeliangrong areas will not be tolerated by the outfit.
The ZUF said that the ongoing public hearing or the seismic survey, investigation and drilling as part of oil exploration in the Zeliangrong inhabited areas especially in Temenglong district, Churachanpur district, Jiribam, sub-division should halt immediately. “ZUF will not torerate any arbitrary attempt or project to excavate mineral resources in the Zeliangrong lands in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland,” the outfit asserted.
Any attempt to extract mineral resources without consulting the indigenous people connected with the effected lands amounted to violation of human rights and exploitation of traditional land use system of the tribal people, it said while adding, “Article 371(a), (b) and (c) of Indian Constitution and the UN charter of Human Rights including the right of the indigenous people should be recalled to protect rights of the effected indigenous people. NGOs and other vested interest groups or individual are against further trespasses into the indigenous lands”.
The ZUF has been striving hard to protect the natural resources and public properties especially lands, the outfit claimed.
The outfit then asks to all those who have issued no objection certificates (NOC) in favour of oil exploration in Zeliangrong areas should withdraw immediately.
The ZUF is also opposed to the “irresponsible attitude” of the Indian Army at Khoupum valley who tried to create trouble by questioning civilians accusing them as members of the Zeliangrong Tigers Force (ZTF), the armed wing of ZUF with fake photographs. “The security force personnel have raided civilian areas showing the false photos on August 28 and 29. This should be discontinued as it tender to yield nothing but trouble,” it warns.

GUWAHATI, Sept 5 NNN: North East Students Organisation (NESO) leaders have met the chief ministers of Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh in the last three days and discussed matters for the safety of the people from the North East region in the southern states of India.
On the eve of its bandh in the region, NESO adviser S. Artax informed Newmai News Network this evening that the state government concerned should ensure the safety of North East people in the mainland India by formulating effective mechanism and measures. The NESO adviser also said that institutions ans companies or even the governments in the state of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka should not victimise the people of the North East region for their absence in their work places during the recent exodus. “The people from our region had fled as they were compelled by the volatile situation. When these people return back to their work places, they should not be victimised,” asserted S Artax.
The NESO adviser then demanded that all the Bangladeshi citizens who had come to India with valid documents but untraceable in the country should be booked by the government without losing time. Over 80 thousand people from the neighbouring country have “disappeared” in the country in the last three years.
Meanwhile, NESO is all set to hold a massive rally on Thursday from a place called Latasil in Guwahati. Chief ministers of the north eastern states have been invited to participate in the rally tomorrow. It is expected that the Members of Parliament (MPs) from the region are likely to join the rally. When the rest of the North Eastern states will witness bandh, a massive rally has been planned in Guwahati in protest against the recent episode where people from the North East region have been discriminated in the mainland India and the callous attitude of the central government in the matter.
On August 23 in Guwahati, issues on the illegal immigrants in the north east region, the prolonging fencing process of the government of India along the Indo-Bangla border and a policy to ensure the safety of the north east people in the mainland India were disccused in the NESO meeting.
The NESO units from all the North Eastern states participated in that meeting where they had deliberated that the government of India should ensure to check the influx of foreigners illegally in the north east region. The need to have a comprehensive policy to detect and deport the illegal immigrants from the north east region should be made by the government of India was also stressed in the meeting.
The NESO leaders had also pointed out the prolonging period to complete the fencing work in the Indo-Bangla border when the same could be done in the Indo-Pakistan border within a short period. “There are so many porous areas in the Indo Bangla border which have been serving as gate-ways for illegal immigrants,” one of the NESO functionary had said.
