Law and order has turned ugly situation. UG elements are unrelenting. They can strike at will the target of their choice. In Jammu and Kashmir when the terrorists attacked and killed panchayat members the Chief Minister of the state dared the terrorists to attack him if they can. He termed the terrorists attacking the panchayat members as cowards. His statement reflects the deteriorating level of law and order in his state. A sign of desperation. That reflects he has lost in the war against terrorism. Kashmir remained under central rule for several years as elections could not be held in the state. Pakistan based Mujahideens opposed the conduct of elections in Kashmir. When elections were held in Kashmir it was considered a victory of the Indian democracy. The situation prevailing in NE region is different from what is happening in Kashmir. What is happening here is slightly better. Here in Manipur leaders can move freely and live together with common masses. Nagaland had seen a sea change after NSCN and the Government sat together over the negotiating table. Even the elected representatives resigned en-masse to pave way for installation of rebel leaders on the seat of power. Meghalaya could implement this pattern of power being handed over to rebels. Laldenga became the Chief Minister of his state. Will it be practicable in Manipur? This question is being asked by many. The answer will be in the negative. Because rebel leaders are maintaining strong posture not to bow to pressure unleashed by the Government of India to come to the negotiating table. At the moment they declare openly liberation of Manipur is their sole aim. This is reflected by the series of bomb blasts that had occurred in the last few days. One bomb here and another at other place. Their actions have permeated everywhere. Sensing their presence and their ability to strike at will the target of their choice Manipur Government had sounded alert. Law enforcing agencies it seems are ill equipped to tackle the menace of bomb culture. Though some were caught none was caught while they were planting bombs or hurling them to the target. It reveals that extremists plant bombs in the dead night or when none moves on the road. They also plant the bombs at the area where security forces used to walk or take rest. This is one tactics used by the elements to crush the morale of the security personnel. Now they will know where they should move or not. A lot more needs to be done to improve the law and order situation in the state. There had been time in the state in the past when young man did not join office even after appointment as per recommendation by MPSC . But that situation may not happen. Because thousands and thousands are vying for entry into police service. Brace up Manipur will continue to see bloody war for some time more.
