Making people live in dirt, filth : The rot at Lamphel

The filth, the dirt, the piling garbage near the Lamphel supermarket can easily be linked to the pathetic failure of the Government to provide the needed market shed to the vendors who were displaced from Nagamapal sometime in 2011 and were told to go to Lamphel.

Fresh quota stand off at MU ! Return of the ghost of 2016 ?

If the matter is not dealt with judiciously and promptly, without losing sight of what is known as universal justice, then the 2016 fracas over the reservation quota in admission to PG courses in Manipur University may just return to haunt the varsity again.

Reserve ACs for indigenous folks call : Real threat perception

Regulate or check the inflow of non-local people into the State. Bar non-locals from contesting elections in Assembly segments which have been identified as vulnerable.

India and China: From rivalry to enmity

If media reports on both sides of the Himalayas are any indication, China and India are literally standing on power kegs, ready to flex their military muscles at the slightest provocation from either side.
