Cabinet approves Film City, hints at introducing new building construction norms

IMPHAL, December 22: The State cabinet has approved setting up of a Film City in Imphal East and to revamp Art and Culture Department by creating more posts in the department, stated Commerce and Industries minister Govindas Konthoujam.

After the cabinet meeting, Govindas Konthoujam briefing the media at his official quarter in Babupara said the Art and Culture of Manipur is unique and quite popular around the globe. It has made Manipur a well known name in the international arena of Classical dance, he added.

Manipuri dance is an important performance whenever any Indian cultural troupe performs in an international platform, he said.

The film city being setup is one of the components for revamping the Art and Culture Department and the government has decided to create more posts of the department by recruiting more staff. About 200 to 500 acres of land has been identified today, the minister said.

Another component for the Arts and Culture department, a Cultural University in the state will be set up later, he added.

The cabinet has also discussed to amend the building by-laws which previously intended to make it mandatory for every house to harvest rain water by making it compulsory to have rooftop STV power plants in newly constructed houses, he informed.

Houses which have more than 100 square meters must be equipped with STV solar power panel sheets in their rooftops and the plots which have more than 1000 square metres must be equipped with STV solar power panel sheet of 1 KWP to 500 KWP respectively, he said.

The decision was taken to improve the power potential and decrease the power consumption of electricity grids, he added.

Dy CM reiterates bomb blast is act of terrorism

IMPHAL, December 21: The deputy Chief Minister, Gaikhangam who also holds the portfolio of Home minister on the concluding day of the winter Session Assembly termed the December 21 bomb

IMPHAL, December 21: The deputy Chief Minister, Gaikhangam who also holds the portfolio of Home minister on the concluding day of the winter Session Assembly termed the December 21 bomb blast incident in Khuyathong as an act of terrorism.

Speaking during the Calling Attention of the Session, Gaikhangam on the floor of the House came down heavily against the perpetrators of the bomb blast; maintaining that such acts are committed by people who do not have any meaningful objective. The act has been committed out of utter frustration, and it is a cowardice show of strength to the weak, he added.

He appealed to every right thinking people to join him in condemning the dastardly act.

He informed the House that a valley-based militant outfit is suspected to be involved behind the blast.

A case has been registered in this regard and investigation by his department is going on in full swing, and those found involved in the crime will be given befitting punishment according to the law of the land, he said.

Further he maintained that any individual or group who supposedly has divergent views against the government should address their grievances in a democratic manner instead choosing the path of violence.

He warned that if at all they want to challenge, they should challenge against rightful opponents, but not against the weak.

During the Calling Attention, Th Shyamkumar, MLA of Andro A/C drew the attention of the deputy CM on the non-issuance of appointment letters to the 315 selected ASIs.

In his reply, Gaikhangam pointed out that the Home Department is taking extra care and is rechecking documents submitted by the candidates, especially the certificates acquired from various universities across the country.

He assured that the scrutiny of the documents will be completed by January next year to enable the candidates to start training schedule.

Kh Joykishan, MLA of Thangmeiband A/C during Question Hour enquired whether there are any instances of the Police not taking up any action even though FIRs have been filed. He said there have been complaints from the public in this regard.

In his reply, Gaikhangam said that there are no such cases in the functioning of the Police. He informed the House that from 2012 to 2014, there have been 17736 FIR cases, from which 1324 have been charge sheeted and 9679 withdrawn.
