Pearls of wisdom from Dalai Lama : Understanding essence of unity

The Dalai Lama came, saw and left pearls of wisdom for the people to digest. But as in things which are generally associated with all the holy, the pious and the good, the wisdom shared by the spiritual leader here will sooner be forgotten than imbibed. This is the sad reality here in Manipur, but […]

Eleven LPG refills in 4 months ! Something is fishy

Something is fishy here. Very fishy, if one may add. If you have an Aadhaar card and link it with your consumer number at the local Gas agency, chances are you would have received only one or two LPG refills in the current financial year. On the other hand if you do not have Aadhaar […]

Of Leikhom Leinang and Uphul Waiphul : Rickety ride on NH-2

When it rains it is all Leikhom Leinang and when it does not it is all Uphul Waiphul.

Need to study LPG diversion : Non-locals in subscribers list

There are just too many loose ends to be swept under the carpet with some excuses or ‘explanations.’ The non-local names that one finds in the list of Tousem Indane Gramin Vitrak, an LPG distributor based at Tousem, may be explained on the ground that these people stay at Tousem on a temporary basis and […]

Out but certainly not down :: Needed : A strong Cong

Granted the Congress is out of power. This is however not to say that it is now down as a political power. This is a point which should not blow over the head of all those Congress wallahs who have had their share of glory when the party was in power for 15 years on […]

VIPsm on the roads of Imphal : Not the heirloom of anyone

Cracking down on LPG hoarders : Now go for the big fishes

Heed the words of Thangmeiband MLA : To make Night Plaza meaningful

The BJP led Government needs to take the view point put forth by Congress MLA Kh Joykisan with the seriousness it deserves. This is not to say that the Government should not go ahead with the planned Night Plaza from October 2, but the inputs or rather critique from the Thangmeiband AC MLA deserves attention. […]
