Imphal, Dec 17: Several bursts of gunfire were heard today at Kangpokpi in Sadar Hills where Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh paid a visit to inaugurate a newly constructed office building of Additional Deputy Commissioner in the Deputy Commissioner office complex and also to lay foundation stones for four SDO offices.
At about 11:30 am, several rounds of loud gunfire started bursting near Heijang range located just opposite to the Additional DC office complex at IB when the convoy of the chief minister was about to reach its destination, police said.
The police said prima facie the blank fire shots were triggered by the Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) militants but further said the tattering of the gunfire, which they believed a threatening move to the chief minister’s visit, could not thwart to go ahead with his scheduled programme.
The chief minister inaugurated a new building constructed at DC office complex and also laid foundation stones for four SDO offices and another SDC circle there.
The CM, O. Ibobi said there is no change in the decision of govt. regarding the upgradation of Sadar hills autonomous district council to state level for which process has been going on. India is a democratic country. There is no harm when someone demands in a democratic way.
While we are alive, we should live cordially to keep an exact record of hills, it is necessary to open a separate department.
We was speaking at the inaugural function of newly constructed building of AWC complex, Kangpokpi and laying the foundation stone for construction of SDO, Tuyang Waichong sub-division, SDO Dhamphai sub division, SDO Kangchup heljang sub division and SDC Lungtin circle today.
Due to lack of records in hills, the state govt. is facing a lot of problem. He announced to set up district sports complex in an appropriate area of Sadar Hills. Adequate security forces will also be posted at ADC complex, he said and added that to take up measures for the development of hills the people should not call band and blockade in the near future.
Presiding over the function, Th. Debendra, revenue minister said, the demand of a full fledged states of a district is reasonable and he was of the view that priority should be given to Sadar hills for the states of a full fledged district. To have more districts will develop the state.
K. Ranjit, works minister, Thangminlen Kipgen, chairmen of hills areas committee, Haokholet Kipgen, MLA, ADC members and concerned officials also attended the function.
Addressing at the function, Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh said Sadar Hills district could be granted only after development of “adequate infrastructure” that required to a full-fledged district.
Apparently showing anger to the gunfire shots that he encountered on his way today, the chief minister said “gun culture” cannot bring any solution but coming to the table is the only way out in resolving issues.
The government is making efforts to set up a separate revenue directorate for hill districts for smooth record for everyone as population will keep on growing which may make more and more complicated situation in the near future without a revenue directorate, Ibobi said.
Meanwhile, the gunfire which police said an undesired disruption stopped just as the chief minister team left Kangpokpi.
The police said they recovered strewn of projectiles on the roof the office building of Additional DC even as some bullets smashed through the wall of the building. No one was injured in the firing, they added.
The Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) Saturday claimed responsibility for the gun fire incident at Kangpokpi that happened during the visit of Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh where he inaugurated an office building of Additional Deputy Commissioner.
KRA publicity secretary P. Simte while clarified that the gun fire shots were triggered by the militant group to protest the change of office location of SDO and it was not opposing the visit of the chief minister.
Sadar Hills Disricthood Demand Committee (SHDDC) and the Government of Manipur are working in the interest of just one particular clan in their attempt to solve the Sadar Hills issue, Simpte alleged.
He said, “KRA does not oppose to the much expected inauguration of Sadar Hills district and we are indeed demanding a speedy resolution of the issue to facilitate its inauguration at the earliest possible.”
Simte also said KRA and all the communities in Sadar Hills by and large have boycotted the inauguration of the newly built sub-division office at a new location. But he said only one clan among the communities accepted it.
The SDC Kangchup Chingkhong has been upgraded to SDO and transferred to P. Golyang village, the Chalwa SDC to Tujanwaichong village and Kangpokpi SDO to Champhai village, he further said.
KRA wants to keep the offices where they were before, Simte said, adding that the militant group has been working hard for the betterment of all the communities.

Guwahati, Dec 17 NNN : Tea industry is doing a roaring business and in the next three years time the industry’s turn-over will be almost double the present income.
On Saturday, Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) said the total turnover of India’s tea industry is likely to be Rs 33,000 crore by 2015 from the current level of about Rs 19,500 crore. Assocham is the apex industry body and today’s revelation was based on its study.
With nearly 600,000 hectares under tea cultivation, the domestic tea industry is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 15 per cent, according to the study titled ‘Indian Tea Industry’.
Assocham general secretary DS Rawat while releasing a booklet containing the findings of the study said, “India is world’s largest consumer, second largest producer and fourth largest exporter of tea after China and accounts for nearly 30 per cent of global output and nearly 25 per cent of tea produced worldwide is consumed in India.” “Branded market accounts for nearly 55 per cent of the total market and is growing at about 20 per cent while the unbranded market is growing at 10 per cent annually,” DS Rawat added.
About 35 lakh workers are employed in over 1,500 tea estates across India and about 65 per cent of these are employed indirectly. Assam produces more than half of India’s tea and accounts for more than 12 per cent of annual global tea yield, Assocham said.
Nearly 90 per cent of Indian households are regular tea drinker, the beverage being cheap, affordable and addictive. According to an Assocham estimate the tea production during the current year is likely to stay over 950million kg as against 966.4 million kg in 2010.
“Awareness about health benefits associated with moderate intake of tea is another significant factor behind this upsurge in its demand as now more and more people are familiar with healing properties of tea,” Rawat said. “It not only helps combat heart related ailments but also helps lower cholesterol, protects skin, keeps cancer at bay, strengthens bones and teeth and contains no calories, fat and salt.”
Historically regarded as a hot beverage, the penetration of tea in the non-alcoholic cold beverage segment is another driving force for this industry owing to the rising affinity towards ice-tea which currently accounts for over five per cent of entire non-alcoholic beverage market in India, Assocham said.
