IMPHAL, Feb 23 NNN : The Kuki Students’ Organisation, Chandel (KSO-Chandel) and the Naga Students’ Union of Chandel (NSUC) in Manipur have threatened to impose a 48-hour general strike March 1 and followed by indefinite economic blockade along National Highway-2 from March 3 midnight to push for their demand for reassignment of Executive Engineer, DRDA, […]
IMPHAL, Feb 23 NNN : The Kuki Students’ Organisation, Chandel (KSO-Chandel) and the Naga Students’ Union of Chandel (NSUC) in Manipur have threatened to impose a 48-hour general strike March 1 and followed by indefinite economic blockade along National Highway-2 from March 3 midnight to push for their demand for reassignment of Executive Engineer, DRDA, Chandel.
The tribal student bodies have been demanding Manipur Government to re-assign L Sharatchandra, Executive Engineer, DRDA, Chandel, accusing him of being a corrupt and aggressive official.
“The Manipur Government should transfer EE Sharatchandra by February 27 else the KSO, Chandel and NSU, Chandel will jointly impose a 48-hour bandh in the district starting March 1 and another parallel strike in the form of economic blockade along the Imphal-Moreh road if the Government remains as a silent spectator to the demand,” KSO, Chandel president Thangjalet Mate told reporters at Molnoi Community Hall in Tengnoupal, Chandel district on Saturday.
He said the two student bodies had on February 22 submitted a joint representation to the Chief Minister, urging him to take necessary steps to transfer EE Sharatchandra and send a competent officer in place of him and cited the reason for their demand.
The beleaguered EE hardly ever attends the office and that he stays at home back in Imphal all the time, the memorandum accused.
It also alleged that EE Sharatchandra deducts 10 percent to 15 percent of every Central Government sponsored scheme in the district since he joined the office of DRDA, Chandel. At times, he used abusive words to the beneficiaries of Government schemes who went to enquire about progress of files, it alleged.However, certain relaxation will be made for vehicles transporting students of Class X who are to appear the ensuing HSLC exam in the state, religious and medical related activities will also be exempted from the purview of the strikes, Mate informed. Expressing concern over huge number of substitute teachers in the Government schools in Chandel district, Mate warned against all the Government teachers, informing them to report to their respective educational institutions immediately.
He also announced that a stringent drive against these standby teachers will be launched from first week of March.
As per a 2012 survey, more than 80 percent of teachers in the Government schools in the hill district were turned out to be substitutes, he added.

IMPHAL, Feb 23 NNN: Eleven heavily armed men clad in full combat dress who were said to be the president of militant outfit KYKL-MDF, one of its cadres and nine other personnel of 24 Assam Rifles have been taken into police custody on Saturday after they barged into the office room of RIMS Director.
KYKL-MDF, a faction of Kanglei Yaon Kanna Lup, is led by its president and commander-in-chief Athouba.
Police reports informed that the incident occurred around 12:30 pm at A-Block of the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences here.
They came to the hospital in a Bolero jeep in full combat dress holding weapons and asked the security guards manning the hospital main gate to allow them to meet the hospital Director, then they allowed them to enter inside it after assuming them to be VIPs.
Near the office room of the Director, they were stopped by another group of security guards telling them that they could not meet with the Director when they asked for permission to meet him. Then, they somehow tried to enter the Director’s room, but the CRPF personnel who were on duty informed the matter to the police.
After that, a team of Lamphel Police led by its Officer-in-charge arrived at the scene and arrested them all, the police said.
It is worth mentioning that the KYKL-MDF is one of the signatories to Suspension of Operation (SoO) involving both the Central and Manipur Governments.
The police declined to provide detailed information about the incident and it was not clear as to why they wanted to meet the Director.

As the demand for creation of separate homeland within the state of Manipur hots up the heart begins to boil. Restlessness has been created and normal life has been thrown out of gear. One is confused. Why such demand comes up in a tiny state like Manipur. Can this demand be met? There is understanding among all to safeguard territorial integrity of Manipur. We feel sad Manipur has been reduced to a plaything by different communities. Demands can be made, that is the democratic rights of all people living in the state. When one makes a demand one must weigh the practicability aspect. Because Manipur will never be fragmented; this has been told again and again by the Union Government. Leaders of all the political parties have also said that. Yet some section of the people belonging to different communities play with the issue again and again. If one has an ear one will hear what these central leaders are saying. Central leaders are saying they will make all out efforts to protect territorial integrity of Manipur. If one has eye, one would have surely seen young and women dying for protection of Manipur’s boundary. If there can be no extension of Greater Nagaland into the state of Manipur how can there be a separate Kuki homeland within the state of Manipur. June great uprising that happened sacrificing 18 lives was for protection of territorial integrity of the state. All those incidents appear in front of our eyes when certain section of people demand separate homeland. Manipur belongs to all communities. Every community has their share in this land. Stop dreaming. The map released by the demand committee claiming almost 80 percent of lands as kuki areas confuse the already confounded mind. Manipur kings fought several wars, all were for protecting the boundary of the land. History tells that. Future generation will not pardon the present generation if we allow fragmentation of Manipur. Nothing wrong in telling the agitationists not to put up such irresponsible demand. Time is precious. Conserve energy to fight for a better cause that will be acceptable to all. Kukis can demand for development of their culture and language. Nagas too can make similar demand. But the agitation for demanding homeland is wastage of time and energy. There will be lots of hurdles in fulfilling the demand. Let us give peace a chance. It is time the Government of Manipur rejects outright the demand of the agitating section saying the demand cannot be fulfilled. The leaders of the Kuki state demand committee have been advised not to use high way as weapon to reach their message within the belt of hearing of those at the helm of affairs. If the leaders are serious about their demand they must learn a lesson from those demanding Telengana state within Andhra Pradesh. Those demanding separate state do not resort to road blockade or economic blockade. Something needs to be learnt from them. The Union Government is also considering creation of Telengana state. The time and energy wasted in making irresponsible demand could have been used in doing other better job.

Chennai, Feb. 23 (ANI): The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Saturday backed former Telecom Minister A. Raja, who has expressed his desire to appear before the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), and said it is convinced that there is nothing wrong in the allocation of spectrum.
Spokesperson TKS Elangovan said Raja has written a letter to LS Speaker Meira Kumar requesting her to permit him to appear before the JPC probing the 2G spectrum scam.
“I think there is nothing wrong in it because he is the prime accused and he has to be heard. When JPC is going into the allocation of spectrum and Raja being the prime accused, the JPC should also hear him and then decide on their report. So, I don’t think there is anything wrong in Raja claiming that he should also be heard,” said Elangovan. “We are convinced that there is nothing wrong in the allocation of spectrum, but somehow it was hyped very big and a propaganda has gone against the DMK and the DMK Ministers and also the UPA Government. But Raja has time and again said that he had been following what the previous government had followed, he has not done anything new in this regard. So, Raja depose before the JPC and let the JPC come out with a conclusion,” he added.Elangovan further said that he believes in the former Telecom Minister’s statement that he has not done anything wrong.
