By R. Lester Makang
UKHRUL, January 20: For every bona-fide Indian citizen who has attained the voting age of 18 years, possessing of voters ID Card or Elector`s Photo Identity Card (EPIC) is vital because not only does it enable him/her to exercise franchise during elections but also proves their citizenship or personal identity for various other purposes. Many such eligible voters in Ukhrul district, however, still remain deprived of this important document as the state election department has failed to issue them new EPICs though they had surrendered their cards for correction of errors in names, age or other entries over three years back.
Now with the Lok Sabha Election 2014 scheduled for mid-April drawing near, many of these eligible voters are growing apprehensive of losing out on the opportunity to cast their valuable votes in the forthcoming general elections merely through lack of voters ID Cards.
Mention maybe made here that some of these eligible people had been left out of the actual vote casting exercise during the last Manipur Legislative Assembly Election in 2012.
A simple survey conducted by this correspondent at the district Election Office, Ukhrul in this connection has confirmed that issue of over one hundred new EPICs is still pending with the department.
On being quizzed about the number of voters ID Cards pending issuance in the district, the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) maintained that more than one hundred new EPICs for voters who had surrendered their cards are pending till date but failed to furnish the correct figure.
“The exact number is not available with us as the list is probably misplaced now…” he said.
Meanwhile, District Election Officer, Innocence qouting sources from Imphal has said that the process of printing the cards is still going on at Kolkota and the despatch is expected before the forthcoming election.
On the other hand, a resident of Phungreitang who happens to be one of those eligible voters awaiting a new EPIC after surrendering her voter ID Card Monday said on condition of anonymity that that was the same response they had been getting each time they enquired at the office ever since they surrendered the card in 2010 when the DC Office was functioning at the now demolished building of the ADC office.
She further said that on the advice of the ERO, `”we surrendered our respective EPICs along with a processing fee of Rs. 25 per card which they said was stipulated by the head office at Imphal.”
Stating that stipulation was duly complied with in anticipation, she said, “we did this in the hope of exchanging erroneous EPIC with a new one with corrected names and other particulars but after three years of repeated enquiries and waiting, we are back to square one, as we are still kept waiting” before adding that they are often hard pressed to find an alternative document for want of this card all these years.

Boxer Dingko’s career as a coach has run into trouble before getting a chance to even take off. After his unwarranted and brutal assault of three students, the man idolised as the first great boxer who brought laurels for the Manipur has been slapped with criminal charges for intending voluntarily causing hurt and assault or use of criminal force on a woman. On the other hand, the Sports Authority of India has suspended him as coach pending the probe by a committee it had constituted and notified that necessary action will be taken up against him as per the panel’s report.
Dingko was the inspiration of thousands of young girls and boys and they took to the ring to emulate his achievement. The tragic irony is now none of the boxing prodigies is likely to consider coming under the tutelage after his exhibition of recklessness and impulsiveness. The turnaround of events is a saddening occurrence in our quest for more glory at the national and international scenario in the boxing arena. According to reports, Dingko apparently has not settled down to his new job yet. After quitting the Indian Navy, the coaching job at SAI Imphal Centre was supposed to be his first assignment. Having travelled the world and locked horns with the best boxers and granted the service of the best available coaches and training technologies, he must have set personal dreams to chase in his new avatar as coach upon the thoughts of touching down on his home soil. The experienced boxer and the countless raw talents available in Manipur would have definitely emerged as a fruitful combination. Very much like he used to wrest bouts from his opponents corners with brief burst of fury releasing a series of lethal punches, the pugilist might well have ruined all his dreams in a single spurt of rage. Having fought even for basic needs during his impoverished childhood, underlined by him being tossed at an orphanage, Dingko should be well-versed with the harsh facts of life. However, even with his familiarity with adversities, the separation from his fans is capable to churn his inner feelings and take him down on a deep abyss of despair. Is this the complete downfall of one of the superstars of Manipur?
Had the incident happened two or three decades back, the ace boxer might probably have escaped with a reprimand. But, physical assault of innocent individuals, particularly those against women and child, are receiving due coverage in the media – irrespective of whether they are victims of excesses by the security personnel, armed militants, or domestic violence. The increased attention from the media augurs well in keeping crime down by intimidating possible offenders with the fear of public exposures. It appeared to be a well established fact that Dingko had mercilessly canned the three young athletes. Subsequently, legal proceedings had been initiated and the boxer was ordered into judicial remand. Moreover, if the prosecution (or the panel’s reports) ends up proving Dingko’s criminal intent, then his illustrious past records would prove too little too less in saving his job. The moment will be saddening indeed but justice must prevail. The whole episode had fallen down out of the blue and painted our world in shades of shock and disbelief. There is nothing for us to do except wait for the legal proceedings to commence and follow wherever course it takes us. What actually transpired between the boxer and the girls will unfold steadily, plus there will be witnesses taking the stand including their parents and the medical persons who attend to them for the judge to determine the gravity of his offence. But most importantly, Manipur will be observing how Dingko conduct himself in the aftermath of his most deplorable action. Unnecessarily crying for his rigorous imprisonment, renaming of a street or pronouncing the end of his coaching career should be held back as of yet. People need chances to show repentance. The robber Ratnakar took the opportunity to become the great sage Valmiki. Calling for his blood will tantamount to kicking a fallen man down to the dust. Let us pray that Dingko reforms his behaviours like a champion.
