Imphal, July 26 NNN: The Zeliangrong Baudi, Manipur (ZBM) has expressed its gratification to what it calls a “historic decision” taken by the 60 MLAs of Nagaland state assembly comprising both the ruling and Opposition in one single accord to resign en masse to create a convenient way to bring an “Alternative Arrangement” to the over six decade-old Naga political issue.
The 60 MLAs of Nagaland state assembly, including both the ruling Naga People’s front (NPF) and Opposition Congress in a significant move has taken a unanimous decision to step down from their position to create a conducive environment for an Alternative Arrangement to the vexed Naga Political issue.
Furthering their move, the 60 MLAs have also constituted a Joint Legislature Forum (JLF) to put forward the peace process and urged the government of India to expedite the solution, ZBM said Thursday.
It said the ZBM, while upholding this historic decision of JLF, urges the government of India to speed up its steps to bring the solution on Naga political issue for which the Naga people as well as the Zeliangrong people have been waiting for a long time.
ZBM also expects various outcomes from the ongoing peace process between the government of India and the Naga, the statement said, adding that the Zeliangrong civil body also hopes the peace process will usher in a meaningful and logical settlement which is praiseworthy to both the parties once and for all.

Imphal, July 26 NNN: Movement for Tribal People’s Rights Manipur (MTPRM) has on Thursday urged the state Home
Minister to intervene in the matter pertaining to non-implementation of the Manipur Reservation of Vacancies in Post and Services (for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Act, 1976 in the Manipur Police Housing Corporation Ltd.
In a representation to Home Minister Gaikhangam, MTPRM said that there are only 11 regular employees belonging to ST category instead of 34 out of 109 employees in MPHC Ltd.
Till November 19, 2011, in 21 regular posts of Junior Engineers in MPHC Ltd, not a single post was reserved for STs, but now two posts have been reserved for STs with a backlog of five more posts.
The MPHC Ltd is a government of Manipur undertaking corporation and is controlled by itself and it comes within the meaning of the state under Section 2 (g) of the Manipur Reservation of Vacancies in Post and Services (for SCs & STs) Act, 1976, hence all appointments to post and services in the corporation are to be made by applying the Act, including the relevant rules, MTPRM maintained.
The present percentage of reservation in the state or STs in post and services is 31.
In view of the settled position of law of reservation, the Gauhati High Court (Imphal Bench) by an order had held that the provisions of the Manipur Reservation of Vacancies in Post and Services (for SCs & STs) Act, 1976 will be followed in filling up the post of Junior Engineers (civil) and Assistant Engineers in MPHC Ltd, MTPRM mentioned in the representation .
