Transporters launch indefinite steering wheel down strike

IMPHAL, December 4: The All Manipur Road Transport Drivers and Motor Workers’ Union (AMRTDMWU) has launched an indefinite steering-wheel down strike along Imphal- Jiribam road (NH-27) against the burning of

Announcing their agitation in a press conference held at its office today the union’s general secretary, M Anil Meitei said that the union will not call-off its strike unless proper security arrangement are made along the highway.

Claiming security lapses as the main reason for the incident, he said the deputy Chief Minister who also holds the Home portfolio continues to remain indifferent to the plight of the transporters despite several appeals made to him.

Anil further demanded proper compensation for the loss, and urged proper action against the nearest police station for their negligence.

A truck bearing registration number MN 03T 0196 was burned down at Leingangpokpi, under Leingangpokpi police station around 6:30pm on December 3.

The transporters have been urging the government to deploy sufficient security forces including setting up of highway protection force along both the national highways to protect the transporters, said Anil adding that they are not satisfied with the Government’s measure which is unfortunate.

The president of the All Manipur Truck Owners Welfare Association (MTOWA), Hijam Ranjit, showing solidarity to the transporter divulged that his association will give full cooperation and support in the steering down strike launched by AMRTDMWU till the demands are met.

He further reiterated the demand to setup a Highway Protection Force at the earliest for the welfare of the transporter.

Father of minor found dead two years back still hoping for justice

IMPHAL, December 4: Father of a minor with multiple disabilities who was allegedly murdered in January last year lamented the delay in tracing the suspects even today.

Amuthoi, the still grieving father regretted although the police had assured to bring out the killers within a month, it is already two long years and the killers are still at large.

A team consisting of members of the Women Action for Development and media persons among others led by WAD secretary M Sobita visited the father at his Chandonpokpi Khongabal Leikai residence as part of the ongoing ‘fact finding on Crime Against Women’ the 16-days activism on Gender based violence.

Amuthoi said it has been almost two years since the incident however, the culprits are yet to be traced let alone be arrested.

It may be recalled that the young girl who was just 10 at the time was found dead on January 31, 2014 under the Khuga Bridge in between Phaijol and Chonglankhong, under Kumbi Police Station.

She had gone out of her home on January 22 to gather their cattle and had gone missing before her body was recovered under a culvert.

Police had also indicated foul play as it was reported that there were external injuries on her body and that her undergarments were found manipulated.

Forensic test had also confirmed that she was raped before being eventually murdered.

“The scene when her body was found under the culvert is still fresh in my mind,” he lamented.

“My daughter was loved by the whole villagers as she was very understanding, despite of her multiple disabilities,” he bemoaned.

Meanwhile, the North East Dialogue Forum had filed a complaint to the national Commission for Protection of Child Rights following which, the commission had observed that Section 5 (m)/6 of the POSCO Act should be applied as the victim is said to be sexually assaulted before her murder.

The commission had also observed that status report of the investigation of the case may be sought from the SP, Bishnupur, according to sources.

The commission had also informed the SP in this regard, sources said.

Meanwhile, Sobita said the State police is well equipped and intelligent enough in tackling the insurgency issue in the State, but is facing problems in handling such sensitive case.

Two years have passed since the young girl was found dead and there is still no development in the case, she claimed.

January 22 when the young girl went missing was at a time when security throughout the State was on alert owing to the January 26 celebration of the Republic Day.

During this period, the cordoning and search operations are conducted not only by the State force but by also the paramilitary forces, she said.

She further appealed to the higher authorities to speed up the investigation in the case.

Happy Serendipity

One of the unforeseen but serendipitous fallouts in Manipur of the local area development funds made available to legislators, has been a sudden and quantum jump in the standard of young badminton players. The local area development funds, as we all know is a relatively new programme introduced by the Government of India in 1993 to ensure that durable assets are created at every Parliamentary and Assembly constituencies of the country, and under this scheme, a respectable amount of fund is earmarked annually for each legislators to invest in infrastructure building in his or her constituency during his tenure. Different legislators invest this fund differently to cater to the needs of their communities. As it has turned out, in the Imphal area, responding to the demands of their local communities, most MLAs have invested this fund in building community halls. Today, practically every locality has a community hall, and these have indeed been of great service in very many ways. As Imphal city gets progressively congested because of rapid urbanisation, traditional homesteads have transformed radically in response. One of the most prominent of these changes has been for the traditional courtyard and the shangoi (extended porticos) surrounding flanking it in practically in all direction, to either shrink drastically or else disappear altogether. This is the space where traditional family ceremonies, beginning from the feasting in celebration of birth to sankirtan held as part of last rites for the dead were once held. These disappeared but important spaces have now found a convenient common replacement in the new community halls.

But these community halls are serving their publics in another very important though unforeseen way. Almost all of them, when they are not used for ritual ceremonies, which incidentally is most of the time, become badminton courts for local children to hone their skills. As it is turning out, the reflex game that badminton is, is turning out to suit the sporting temperament of local youth very well. Indeed, arguably because of this phenomenon, Manipur today is becoming a force to reckon with in National badminton circuits, especially in the junior and sub-junior categories, with the promise that when the current generation of junior players come of age, they will retain the respect they earned in their junior days, to become champion materials in the senior and open categories as well. In the recently concluded National sub-junior badminton championship at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, Manipur put a formidable show, especially in the boys section, bagging two golds and one silver. However, it is not just those who emerged at the top who impressed, but equally those who did not make it. On their given day, they could very well have beaten the very best and be at the top themselves. Even those who lost, did so only after giving their opponents, many of them who went on to win medals, big scares. The awesome team and bench strength of Manipur did not miss the audience either. It was flattering to hear many actually inquire as to how many badminton academies Manipur had. It was even more flattering to see they were in utter disbelief when the answer was, “none”. Mark our words, if nothing catastrophic happens to deflate the spirit, Manipur will soon see the emergence of champion materials from its current stable of extremely talented young players.

One other thing became clear after witnessing the Visakhapatnam championship. Indian sports, not just badminton, is coming of age and the days of amateur enthusiasts is getting over. Now you have young talents giving their entire time and energy to single sports in various sports academies. It is no longer a question of an engineering student also interested in badminton, but a badminton student also desiring at least a basic academic degree, and completing the formalities to get one. Young players and their parents are now increasingly putting their entire stake into the sports they pursue, hoping to win not just a career but also glory from them. Just as traditionally many students give everything to win a medical or engineering seat, or else to get through the civil services examinations, there are today young sporting talents equally focused on winning a place in society through sports. There will be heartbreaks, just as in all other fields, but given the energy invested, there will also soon be world beaters. In some of the elite sports such as badminton and tennis, this is already evident. There is nothing to say such breakthrough will not begin to happen in other sports as well. The upcoming Rio Olympics will be an interesting indicator if the dawn of an Indian sporting revolution has already come in sight.

CDRO condemns the army terrorism in Garo Hills

IMPHAL, December 4: Coordination of Democratic Rights Organization (CDRO) has strongly condemned the continuing army terrorism in the name of combing operations in Meghalaya’s Garo Hills. While Meghalaya is not notified as a ‘disturbed area’ and the writ of the army does not run large, the AFSPA allows army personnel located in neighbouring states to conduct operations within 20 kilometres of the state border, said a press release by CDRO.

It said, the Gurkha regiment stationed in Assam’s Rangjuli town shot dead two unarmed civilians, a few kilometres from Kharkutta Bazaar in the Garo Hills area, in Meghalaya on November 25. The incident occurred at around 8:40 p.m. when Alphus Momin, a school teacher, and SD Marak, a vendor, were returning home to Rajasimla village on a motorbike.

Earlier, in March 2015, two daily wagers, Selba Sangma and Jekke Arengh were shot dead by the Dogra regiment in the same area and in a bid to cover its ‘mistake’ and pass off the killings as an ‘encounter’, the army planted two country-made pistols near the bodies. The matter came to light as two other men were also intercepted in the same incident and were taken to custody. The government had then ordered a probe into the killings.

Army lawlessness is inherent in the AFSPA as it allows impunity and immunity to men in uniform. However, even within the next-to-negligible safeguards available in the Act, the army is supposed to inform the local police and seek its help before conducting operations. In the November incident, not only did the army not inform the local police station, it did not even bother to take the victims to a nearby hospital. Instead, it abandoned the bodies on the roadside. It was the local police which arrived on the spot after hearing the gunshots and it took the two men to Kharkutta PHC where they were declared, ‘brought dead’. The police initially registered an FIR against unknown people but growing public protests prompted the army to acknowledge its ‘mistake’, said the press release.

It said, on November 26, the army submitted an FIR claiming that the incident occurred as the duo had not adhered to the security instructions and refused to comply with them at a mobile check post. Despite the army’s ‘face-saving’ denial, the magnitude of the protests, including that by the local MLA has compelled the Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner to promise a magisterial inquiry into the incident. Given the prevailing nature of army lawlessness, it is imperative to question the Meghalaya High Court’s decision to ask the Centre to impose AFSPA in the Garo Hills. Making a case of deteriorating law and order, on November 4, a three-member bench including the Chief Justice cited 87 instances of kidnapping and ransom demands by rebel groups and pointed out that even the Chief justice and other judges were receiving ‘veiled’ threats and that they would have to face ‘dire consequences’ after retirement.

Ironically, instead of upholding the rights and liberties of individuals, the Court damaged its reputation by acting on its own fears, as two of the judges are said to retire on February 2016. Besides, in asking for the imposition of the AFSPA, the Court also violated the constitutional arrangement of separation of powers by acting on its own authority. It is quite another matter that the Centre has decided not to heed the High Court and the state government has decided to file an affidavit in the next hearing. However, it is to be noted that the Centre has promised the state government paramilitary troops for the Garo Hills. So, even while the Centre and the state government are opposed to the imposition of AFSPA, there is consensus on the issue of legal immunity as prosecution of paramilitary forces also requires official sanction, said the press release.

Why didn’t the Meghalaya High Court acknowledge the issue of army abuses and why has the state government demanded more paramilitary forces from the Centre? Why is the army or the paramilitary the answer to the intransigent problems of the Garo Hills? It is a known fact that the nexus between the coal mafia, sections of rebels groups and the political establishment has thrived in the Garo Hills area, questioned CDRO in the press release.

In the press release, CDRO has also stated that such a scenario is an issue in which army lawlessness acquires greater magnitude and where there is no effort towards a political resolution to the problem of the Garo Hills conflict, and also added that the two incidents in Garo Hills area illustrate the legal impunity and immunity that the army enjoys the most dangerous adversary in conflict areas, and not only are civilians’ lives least cared for, the absence of routine checks and balances stipulated in normal law offers untrammelled powers to men in uniform.

In the press release, CDRO has further stated that the army and paramilitary operations in the Garo Hills must be immediately ended and has demanded for,
1. Stringent action against the army personnel who is/are guilty of murdering Alphus Momin and SD Marak.
2. Information on action taken against guilty personnel involved in the murder of Selba Sangma and Jekke Arengh.
3. Compensation to the families of the deceased who have been gunned down by the army.
4. Immediate halt to any paramilitary deployment in the area.

Myanmar Meitei diaspora yearning for Manipuri cultural revival in adopted country

IMPHAL, December 4: Lack of proper facilities to learn the Manipuri language and Manipuri art forms are the most challenging factors of the Meiteis residing in Myanmar in their effort

IMPHAL, December 4: Lack of proper facilities to learn the Manipuri language and Manipuri art forms are the most challenging factors of the Meiteis residing in Myanmar in their effort to promote and preserve their own culture in their adopted country, lamented the Myanmar Meitei Diaspora group.

The group shared this during an interaction with media persons at a reception ceremony held today for the Myanmar Meitei delegates of the recently concluded Manipur Sangai Festival 2015 at the Youth Hostel, Khuman Lampak.

The function was organised by the All Manipur United Clubs’ Organisation.

One of the delegates, Uthui Suiye whose Manipuri name is Sundergopal said such visit to Manipur is rare for a Myanmar Meitei.

He said that it is nearly impossible for them to come and visit Manipur very often by road.

The Manipur Sangai Festival has, however, opened a window of opportunities for them to visit their native land, although the due process to get the permission for the visit even during the festival was painstaking as the Sagaing Region government doesn’t give permissions easily, he observed.

It took a long process of changing documentations between the Indian Embassy and the Myanmar government before the permission for the by-road visit to Manipur was granted, he said.

“Now the festival is the ticket for us to see Manipur. The Myanmar High Command hardly grants permission on normal days,” he observed.

Elaborating on the grievances of the Meitei population in Myanmar, he said one of the most challenging issues before them is the lack of proper facilities to learn the Manipur language and Art forms so that they could preserve the Meitei culture and language.

The military junta administration of Myanmar had several restrictions on religious and cultural activities in the past, however, with the relationship between the two countries improving in recent times it has somewhat been relaxed, he added.

The visiting delegate also recalled that on the request of the Indian Embassy there, a cultural dance teacher from Assam was brought to Myanmar and assigned to teach Manipuri Cultural dance forms including Ras Lila for six months.

He observed that Manipuri dances are gaining popularity in Myanmar while calculating the potential to grow further more.

Lauding the lady dancer, he said she danced excellently as she had learnt the dance forms from a dance academy in Manipur in 2008.

Seeking help from the State government and all concerned, he drew the attention of the authorities concerned to make arrangement to provide with a Meitei cultural dance and language teacher to ensure that the Myanmar Meitei can preserve the Manipuri heritage in Myanmar.

During the reception ceremony representative of AMUCO also presented the delegates with Meitei traditional attires.

Dr Y Mani Khuman AMUCO’s president said that such event would mark the beginning of a process to bring closure the diaspora groups with the people here in Manipur.

The revelation of grievances being faced by the Myanmar Meitei is an eye opener that similar and frequent interaction in the future could help the people yield the solutions to their problem, he continued.

A reception ceremony for the Meitei Myanmar delegates was also conducted today at Panthou Esaikon, Wangkhei Hijam Leirak.
