In the news for all the wrong reasons :: CCpur at the epicentre

In the last few years, Churachandpur district has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. If ten years down the line, 2015 is remembered it will most probably be for the huge uproar in the district after the State Assembly passed the three contentious Bills on August 31 and nine people were killed.

Catching up after 20 years : No justice in ‘mob justice’

The proverbial long arm of the law catching up. Crime committed back in 1997 and the accused convicted in 2017 and sentenced to two years rigorous imprisonment and herein lies the profundity of the ‘long arm of the law’ phrase.

Threats to the idea of Manipur : Noting stand of AMUCO

The stand of AMUCO has always been consistent. That is no force on earth should try to compromise with the territorial integrity of the land.

It is BJP and BJP all over : Silence of the Congress

The BJP led Government seems intent on being in the limelight. A point which can be easily discerned from a look at the daily newspapers published in Imphal.
