Border trade not progressing

IMPHAL, August 30 NNN : Border trade of the Indo-Myanmar has not been benefitting the traders as expected because the 1995 trade agreement is quite primitive in nature. Another negativity of the border trade is that the food items that come from Myanmar to India are also not been checked whether they are fit for consumption in want of laboratories to test the food items. The luke-warm border trading has been due to the lack of knowledge in trade by the local people.
These were deliberated during the 18th Foundation Day celebration of the Indo-Myanmar Border Trade Union (IMBTU) held at Manipur Press Club in Imphal today.
All Manipur Working Journalists Union (AMWJU) president W. Shamjai while speaking on the occasion pointed out that food items coming to India from Myanmar side through the border town Moreh need to have a laboratory test to see if these food items are safe for consumption.
“However, this cannot be done now as there is not a single laboratory for such task,” rued the senior journalist while Manipur commerce and industries minister Govindas Konthoujam assured that a laboratory only to test the food items coming to India through Moreh be set up by next year.
It said the above packaged food items are reportedly imported from Myanmar for selling in Manipur without labelling and import license and without indicating the name of the manufacturer, batch number, date of expiry.
Such imported food items are selling in the state in violation of Section 23 & 25 of the Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006 and Regulation No-22 of the Food and Standards (packaging & Labelling) Regulation, 2011, the order said.
Meanwhile, in today’s function, speaking as the chief guest, minister Govindas Konthoujam said due to the primitive nature of the 1995 border trade agreement, the traders are not getting benefits as expected. The minister mooted to modify the agreement to cope with the fast changing business scenerio in the South Asian countries impacted by India’s Look East Policy.
Prof N Mohendro suggested for the awareness campaigns both in the hills and in the valley districts injecting the people the knowledge of the border trade.

FSB will ensure return of Congress to power

Just as Sudarshan chakra is to the Lord Vishnu, supreme God of Hindus and the Trishul to Lord Mahadeva, Food security Bill, which will become an act after it is passed by Rajya Sabha and assented by the President of India, will be a weapon of the Congress party. Congress party will use the provisions contained in the bill to attract the voters on the Congress side. Heavily armed with all these policies and programmes that had been declared in the past one decade all the people oriented in the party will take on the opposition parties in 2014 Lok Sabha elections. If MGNREGA could ensure smooth sailing of the Congress party to power after 2009 elections, there is no reason as to why the bill will not ensure the return of the party to power. Congress is making all out efforts to emulate the record set by the same party under leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru winning continuously three terms. Since then no party let alone Congress party has been able to win continuously for three terms at the centre. Food security bill envisages to help nearly 81 crore people in the country. No one will go to bed without food; hunger will be a thing of the past. This is a big claim of the Government. Such a vast dream is going to materialise in India having one billion plus population. The other nations in the world might be looking to Indian Government enviously for doing something that they cannot even dream of doing it. Congress leaders heaved a sigh of relief when the bill was passed by Lok Sabha the other day. Manipur Chief Minister O. Ibobi understands that the bill will increase the burden of the state Government in transforming the provisions contained in the bill into action. But he has decided to play pro active role for the smooth flow of the benefits to the people. He has asked the officials concerned of the department, which will be playing key role in making the dream a reality. Chief Minister O. Ibobi having swept the assembly elections continuously for three terms understands how the party can return to power at the centre also. Let him do what he wants to.
