Inter-state bus services suspended

Inter-state bus services suspended over burning down of state bus in Assam; Two charred to death inside locked bus

IMPHAL, Oct 24: The All Manipur Inter State Bus Association has suspended all inter-state passenger bus services from this morning in protest against the burning down of an Imphal-Guwahati passenger bus of the Imphal Airbus Travels at Naorijan in Assam, near Dimapur, on last Thursday evening by two unidentified gunmen resulting in the death of two passengers, including one woman.

A Budha Luwang, president of the AMISBA during a press conference held at North AOC in Imphal this noon narrated the inhuman and barbaric act of last Thursday at Naorijan.

He said the ill-fated passenger bus bearing registration No. MN01-1664 was travelling from Imphal towards Guwahati when it was stopped and set ablaze after dousing it with petrol by two unidentified gunmen from Dimapur after the passengers numbering 32, including women and children, were locked inside the bus. The incident took place on last Thursday evening around 8.30 at Naorijan under Khatkhati police station.

He said the passengers inside the bus managed to escape after breaking the windows and jumping out of the bus. Many of them received burn injuries in the process and two passengers including a female who could not get out of the bus were charred by the flames inside the bus.

The two deceased were identified today as Robert Golmei, 35, from Tamenglong district and his mother-in-law Jinthailiu Gangmei of Pengba Chalungthou village in Churachandpur district. Robert Golmei was serving as a jawan in the Indian Army, the source added.

He further mentioned that the association while taking the matter very seriously called an emergency meeting this morning where it strongly condemned the incident and decided to suspend all passenger bus services including Imphal-Guwahati, Imphal-Dimapur, Imphal-Shillong and Guwahati-Imphal via Dimapur and Shillong-Imphal from this morning till the armed persons involved in the incident were booked and punished by the concerned government authority and till the state government provided necessary highway protection to the association.

The meeting also decided to organise a joint meeting with various civil society bodies of the state to consider the future course of action regarding the matter.

The association also submitted a memorandum to the chief minister yesterday asking for provision of land for booking counters and bus parking at Imphal, Guwahati, Shillong and Dimapur and also provision of land at Khatkhati for the travellers to take shelter during bandhs and blockades along with proper construction of and maintenance of the NH-39, NH-53 and NH-150.

The spokesperson further said that more than 110 inter-state buses were plying daily from Imphal to Guwahati via Dimapur and to Shillong and the association had been serving the people of the state for the last more than 20 years on NH-39 despite facing serious difficulties caused by law and order problems.

Mentioning some of the grievances faced by the transporters of the state, he said drivers, handymen, bus owners, association members and innocent passengers had been victims of kidnap, extortion, rape, murder, dacoity, bandhs and blockades for several years. Besides, Dimapur had now become a den for kidnappers, looters and other criminals.

Despite being aware of all these facts the government had not taken up any arrangements for redressing the grievances of the transportes of the state and the innocent passengers till now.

Because of all this there was immediate need for providing sufficient security at the various vulnerable areas along the national highways, the spokesperson added.

Aid for tribal writers/authors

IMPHAL, Oct 24: All tribal writers/authors have been intimated that the Tribal Research Institute, Manipur is extending financial assistance to tribal writers under the scheme of Encouragement of Books in Tribal Dialects. A press release issued by the institute further informed that interested tribal writers/authors may apply for the assistance in the prescribed form with relevant documents/manuscript on or before November 10.

KLO/KLA claims, apologises

IMPHAL, Oct 24: Claiming responsibility for burning down the passenger bus bearing registration no. MN-01/1664 belonging to Imphal Airbus Travels at Karbi-Anglong district of Assam last night that led to the death of two passengers, information and publicity secretary of KLO/KLA Malsawn Kuki today said that it was the handiwork of Eagle Claws unit of the outfit.

Explaining the reason for committing the act of arson, Malsawn Kuki said that KLO/KLA had asked the Inter-State Bus Owners’ Association to pay annual taxes as it is being paid to other outfits, but the Association refused to pay the tax at the instigation of one man identified as Romeo who works at Airbus Travel. Romeo also disclosed the mobile no. to the State forces.

Asking other bus owners to pay the tax, Malsawn Kuki also warned of the same consequences to them as well and said that the Association should aware that KLO/KLA operates not on-ly in Manipur but also in rest of the North Eastern States unlike other Kuki outfits. Furthermore, Malsawn Kuki said that death of two persons in the last night’s incident was not intentional but accidental. Asking forgiveness of the bereaved families, Mal-sawn Kuki said KLO/KLA pays homage to the depart-ed souls and expressed re- gret over the inconveniences caused to other passengers.

Moreh-Imphal air service, Joint inspection on the card

IMPHAL, Oct 24 : After the preliminary inspection conducted by a team of Air Deccan-Kingfisher officials to study the feasibility of starting daily flight service between Imphal and Moreh, a joint inspection would be conducted very soon to finalise the matter.

Disclosing this while talking to The Sangai Express today, ADC of Moreh Hopeson Chothe informed that at the request of the Air Deccan-Kingfisher officials, a preliminary inspection had been conducted on October 17 along with him in connection with starting daily flight service between Imphal and the border town.

During the inspection, the officials of the private airliner identified that the ground of the Eastern Shine School at Ward no. 7 of Moreh would be the most suitable site for plane landing. Accordingly, Meitei Council Moreh has also given its nod to allow use of the land for the stated purpose.

While informing that the proposed flight service would have two sorties in a day, the ADC said that there would be no need for development of new runaway on the present ground of the school for landing plane. Only after a little development, the plane would be able to land on the grassy ground itself. The plane would land and take off before the commencement of the school classes and after the school hours.

To be introduced with an eye on mainly facilitating the movement of VIPs and emergency treatment of patients,

the flight service which would have a total seating capacity of 18 passengers and it would be very helpful from the point of deplorable condition of the Imphal-Moreh Road stretch as well, the ADC said. The flight service would also help the businessmen and tourists, the ADC said, adding that the fare for one-way travel may be around Rs 2000. However, the exact fare amount would be finalised by the officials of Air Deccan-Kingfisher, he hastened to add.

Stating that the private airliner wants to introduce the service at the earliest possible, the ADC disclosed that a joint inspection would be conducted very shortly to finalise the matter. However, the private airliner has not yet given any official intimation to the State Govt nor taken any approval from the Centre in connection with starting the flight service. So necessary preparations would be taken up only after all the necessary formalities have been completed, the ADC said.

Blazing inferno reduces Khuga power house to cinders

-S. Singlianmang Guite

Lamka, Oct 24 : For the third time Khuga multi-purpose project was attacked by suspected agitating contractors today, razing the power house that supplies electricity to the project and its equipments.

A ‘big generator,’ a transformer and three other generators were partially damaged according to Khamzamang, an electrician lineman of the department who stays a few meters away from the power house. He was inside his house when the fire started at 4. 30pm. Initially when the fire was detected, the intensity of the fire was so high that even unbolting the door was dangerous, he said.

The lone Fire Tender of the district arrived about 40 minutes after the fire was first detected and fully put off the flames after about an hour despite the initial difficulties due to live currents.

Protected on all side with GI sheets with a single door, the power house is prone to burglary through some openings, Kamzamang, also an acting care-taker said.

A company each from 140 Bn BSF and Manipur Rifles were stationed at the site to protect the dam and its properties but the power-house located on the outskirt was not within the periphery of their sentry post.

“We usually patrol the area but we don’t have sentry there,” a man incharge of the MR said.

SK Mishra, Asst Commandant of 140 Bn BSF told the media that the fire was due to ‘electrical short-circuit’ but when asked about the evidences, he could only say that he was informed so by the people around the power-house.

IFCD Minister N Biren said that it could not have been an act of arson.

On detecting a twofold-lock on the door, Kam- zamang told the media that the department had bolted the door only with one lock. “Until yesterday there was only one lock on the door. I was surprised to see another lock when I rushed to the door after I saw the fire,” he said.

When asked what he suspects could be the cause, as he was the first to notice the fire, Kamzamang said, “We have been using the power house since 1986 and nothing of this sort has happened before so I have reservations saying it was due to short-circuit. The two-fold lock has added to my suspicion .”

Khuga Dam Neglected and Unpaid Liability Holders Contractors and Sub- Contractors Association have since October 6 imposed a ban on the dam but denied their hands in today’s fire. TK Simte, the association secretary said, ‘we are not responsible.’

He however refused to rule out the hands of other contractor other than theirs.

The office chamber of EE IFCD had already been ransacked by agitating contractors some years back, while an IED had also been exploded by suspect-ed contractors on July 18 this year. Annoyed that their bills remains unsettled even after years of execu-ting their work the contra- ctors have formed several association to pressure the government and they have resorted to diverse form of agitation to draw the Govt attention. Today’s attack seems no different.

ZNC Statement on 20th Anniversary in Myanmar

Statement of the 20th anniversary of the founding of Zomi National Congress

Today, October 24th marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of Zomi National Congress (ZNC). Due to the abrupt transition of political power in Burma, ZNC was established in Rangoon instead of establishing in Zomiland. Its main aims and objects are:

(a) To refer to the Chins as Zomi
(b) To establish Democracy and Human Rights in the country
(c) To adopt Free Market Economy
(d) To raise the Panglong spirit in drawing the constitution based on federalism

So, in the 1990 General Elections, ZNC won two seats out of four contesting constituencies i.e. 50%. But the party, ZNC, was disbanded by the regime in 1992 without any reason. ZNC still strives for national reconciliation, democratization and human rights in Burma, in collaboration with other political parties, namely National League for Democracy (NLD) led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD) led by Hkun Htun Oo, Arakan League for Democracy (ALD) led by Dr. Saw Mra Aung and Mon National Democratic Front (MNDF) led by Naing Tun Thein, in a committee known as the Committee Representing People’s Parliament (CRPP). ZNC works also with the United Nationalities Alliance (UNA) consisting of 12 ethnic political parties for national reconciliation, democratization and human rights in Burma.

As we are well aware, there is no rule of law in our country. What comes out from the mouth of ruling regime’s officers becomes law and is acted upon by spineless cohorts. This is the best culture for corruption, crimes, and chaos to flourish in political, social and economic arenas.

Our country therefore has been facing poverty and chaotic social and political circumstances for two decades. To make it worst, the Burmese military regime’s grotesque and unethical action is that holding of a national referendum at the time of Cyclone Nargis despite the calls from domestic and international communities to postpone the referendum. So, ZNC declares that:

(a) The one-sidedly written constitution, is unilateral.
(b) That unilateral constitution, approved by the regime's sham referendum, is unacceptable.
(c) To hold general elections in 2010 under that constitution, is null and void.

Therefore, to build a better Burma by means of national reconciliation and democratization in our country, ZNC urges the SPDC:

(a) To release immediately and unconditionally U Tin Oo, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Hkun Htun Oo and other political prisoners especially those who were arrested in the Saffron Revolution.
(b) To begin a political dialogue with all the stakeholders
(c) Then only, to start drawing the constitution with fair and square

Chin People in New Delhi Met with Prominent National Figures

- Plato Van Rung Mang

11 October, 2008: Delhi, India: The Chin people, based in New Delhi, had an inspiring meeting with their prominent national figures including Professor Salai Tun Than, Pu Lian Uk (MP), Salai Kipp Kho Lian and Salai Bawi Lian Mang, who dropped by one day in New Delhi, on their way to Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram, India to attend Chin Historical Seminar to be held on October 13-15, 2008.

All the participants in the meeting, more than seventy, stood up with a token of respect and honor when their eagerly awaited guests were stepping inside the meeting hall. The meeting was commenced with Rev. Ram Lian Khar’s prayer and self-introduction. The participants were then fully enthused with a series of dynamic messages from their leaders. The messages being addressed to the audience from all perspectives were truly relevant and immensely crucial for the Chin people as a whole.

A prominent Chin political figure, Pu Lian Uk briefly emphasized the uniqueness of the Chins as a people with own culture, land and history, and expressed his hope to further secure this authenticity in a more understandable term, in the upcoming Chin Historical Seminar.

Salai Kipp Kho Lian, Coordinator of Chin Forum, exposed the work undertaken by the Chin Forum team and expressed his honor for the timely publication of the fifth initial draft of Chinland Constitution within a ten-year spanning period of its existence. He strongly encouraged all the participants to be fully aware of the tenet of democracy and federal principles, and emphasized the importance of their practical applications, for congregating the present dispersed Burmese democratic forces with new strategies and approaches by strengthening ‘needed unity’ among different parties and stakeholders.

Professor Salai Tun Than in particularly impressed the audience with his forceful words, saying: “I am not a politician, but I fight the military regime for the cause of justice against injustice. I will fight till my last breath as to die for good cause is worthy. If we are daring, the enemy is afraid of us and if we are timorous, the enemy will persecute us. Like a motto saying ‘Few daring are always the majority’, if at least two hundred people are daring to die like me, I am sure this democracy struggle against the dictatorship rule will be won.”

Salai Bawi Lian Mang, Director of Chin Human Right Organization (CHRO), highlighted how destitute the Chin people in Burma are under the military regime. Salai Bawi said: “The Burmese military junta’s systematic violations of human rights record on the Chins over a long period have now transformed thousands of the Chins to become refugees in different parts of the world. And presently at least 200,000 people, about 20% of the whole Chin population from 200 villages, are suffering from cute famine. Instead of giving relief aids to the famine victims, the SPDC is now prohibiting the operation of relief aids in some townships like Matupi, Falam and Kanpalet. Hence, it is our national responsibility to help our people out from starvation, with the best means and ways of our capacities.”

Dr. Tint Swe of NLD- MP, a leading political figure among India-based Burmese democratic activists also expressed his inspiration for the meeting and his hope for a positive turnout from it.

The meeting was successfully concluded at 5:00 pm with thanksgiving prayer led by Dr. Run Bik.

Orissa Police Failed to protect me from Rapist and Attackers

"Orissa Police Failed to protect me from Rapist and Attackers. I lost my trust in Orissa Police"

Sr. Meena

Civil Societies Disappointed at Supreme Court's refusal to order CBI Enquiry on Nun's Rape Case in Kandhamal, Orissa

New Delh, October 24, 2008: The rape victim of Orissa Anti-Christian Violence came out in public statement in a press conference held in New Delhi today after Supreme Court of India denying the CBI enquiry demanded in a writ petition.

Sr. Meena Lalita Barwa, in deep grip over the crime committed against her by Hindu militants says, “Orissa police failed to protect me from rapist and attackers. I lost my trust in them. Justice will be only possible if my case is taken by CBI.”

“Very police forces who watched while the crime was committed against me, and who also failed their duty to register my complaint initially and twisted later on and took over 40 days to take action until public outcry pour out. I do not trust in them to give me fair justice and punish the culprits,” says Sr. Meena.

Civil societies and Christian communities of India were disappointed at Supreme Court's judgement for refusing CBI enquiry over the rape case on October 22, 2008,

Court's refusal to transfer the case from Orissa Police to CBI came for the reason that the accused persons of the rape crime are already arrested by Orissa Police.

Sr. Meena was working at Divyajyoti Pastoral Centre at K. Nuagaon, Kandhamal District, Orissa before anti-Christian violence broken out in Kandhamal district of Orissa after the killing of Lakshmananada Sarawati on August 23, 2008 by Maoists.

Statement made to the Press by Sister Meena

On 24th August around 4.30 pm, hearing the shouting large crowd, at the gate of Sivyajyoti pastoral centre, I ran out through the back door and escaped to the forest along with others. We saw our house going up in flame. Around 8.30 PM, we came out of the forest and went to the house of the Hindu gentleman who gave us shelter.

On 25th August, around 1.30 PM, the mob entered the room where I was staying in that house; one of them slapped on my face, caught my hair and pulled me out of the house. Two of them were holding my neck to cut off my head with axe. Others told them to take me out to the road; I saw Fr. Chellan also being taken out and being beaten. The mob consisting of 40-50 men were armed with lathis, axes, spades, crowbars, iron rods, sticks etc. They took both of us to the main road. Then they led us to the burnt down Janavikas building saying that they were going to throw us into the smoldering fire.

When we reached the Janavikas building, threw me to the verandah on the way to the dining room which was full of ashes and broken glass pieces. One of them tore my blouse and others my undergarments. Father Chellan protested and they beat him and pulled him out from there. They pulled out my saree and one of them slepped on my right hand and another on my left hand and then a third person raped me on the verandah mention above. When it was over, I managed to get up and put my petticoat and saree. Then another young man caught me and took me to a room near the staircase. He opened his pants and was attempting to rape me when they reached there.

I hide myself under the staircase. The crowd was shouting “Where is that sister, come let us rape her, at least 100 people should rape.” They found me under stair case and took me out to the road. There I saw Fr. Chellan was kneeling down and the crowd was beating him. They were searching for a rope to tie both of us together to burn in fire. Someone suggested to make a us parade naked. They made us to walk on the road till Nuagaon market, which was half a kilometer from there. They made to fold our hands and walk. I was with petticoat and saree as they had already torn away my blouse and undergarments. They tried to strip even there and I resisted and they went on beating me with hands on my cheeks and head, and with sticks on my back several times.

When we reached market place, about a dozen of OSAP police men were there. I went to them asking to protect me and I sat in between two policemen. They did not move. One from the crowd again pulled out from there there and they wanted to take us in their temple mandap. The crowd led me and Fr. Chellan to the Nuagaon block building, saying that they will hand us over to B.D.O. From there along with the block officer, the mob took us to police outpost Nuagaon, other policemen remained far.

The mob said that they will comeback after and one of them who attacked me remained back in the police outpost. Policemen then came to police outpost. They were talking very friendly with the man who had attacked me and stayed back. In police outpost we remained until the inspector incharge of Balliguda with his police team came and took us to Balliguda. They were afraid to us straight to the police station and they kept us sometimes in jeep in garage, from there they brought us to the station. The inspector incharge and other two government officers took privately and asked whatever happened to me. I narrated everything in detail to the police, how I was attacked, raped, taken away from policement paraded half naked and how the plicemen did not help me when I asked for help while weeping bitterly. I saw the inspector writing down. The inspector asked me “Are you interesting in filing FIR? Do you know what will be the consequence?” At about 10 PM, I was taken for medical check up accompanied by a lady police officer to Balliguda hospital” They were afraid to keep us in police station, saying the mob may attack police station. So the police took us to I. B. (Inspection Bungalow) where CRPF men were camping.

On 26th around 9 AM we were taken to Balliguda police station. When I was writing the FIR, the I/C asked me to hurry up and not to write in detail. When I started writing about the police, I/C told me this is not the way to write FIR. “Make it short.” So I rewrote it for the third time in one and half page. I filed the FIR, but I was not given a copy of it.

At around 4 PM the Inspector In charge of Balliguda police station along with some government officers put us in the OSRTC bus to Bhubaneswar along with other stranded passengers. Police were there till Rangamati, where all passengers had their supper. After that I did not see the police. We got down near Nayagarh and traveled in a private vehicle and reached Bhubaneswar around 2 AM on 27th August.

State police failed to stop the crimes, failed to protect me from the attackers, they were friendly with attackers, they tried their best that I did not register a FIR, not make complaints against police, police did not take down my statement as I narrated in detail and they abandon me half of the way. I was raped and now I don’t want to be victimized by the Orissa Police. I want CBO enquiry. God bless India, God bless you all.

India's space journey started from a village church

T’PURAM: Far from the research stations and labs, India's space programme began at a church in what was once a tiny fishing village called Thumba, not far from Thiruvanathanapuram airport in Kerala.

In 1962, when the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was established, father of India's nuclear programme Homi Bhabha, along with Vikram Sarabhai, evaluated a number of sites in Kerala to establish a rocket station. Finally, they zeroed in on Thumba.

But there was a hitch. Fisherfolk of the village, emotionally attached to the place, particularly the St Mary Magadelene's Church had to be convinced to give up the place. The task fell on a former bishop of Thiruvananthapuram. During a Sunday congregation, he spoke to the villagers about the advantages of a space programme. He then asked if they had any objections if the village was handed over to the space department. The villagers paused only a while, and chorused, "Amen", indicating that they were ready to give up their village.

Space experts later commented that that it was an auspicious beginning for India's space missions. The project was initiated with the blessings of the villagers who were resettled. The small place of worship became the mainstay for the team of rocket scientists, including A P J Abdul Kalam. The first drawings of some of the earliest rockets were made in this church, now a space museum.

The conditions were anything but comfortable. Scientists travelled daily from Thiruvananthapuram in rickety buses, carrying lunch bought at the railway station.

Thumba was soon turned into the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station. The first sounding rocket, Nike Apache supplied by NASA, was launched in November 1963. After this, many sounding rockets, which study the atmosphere, lifted off from Thumba including those from the US, Russia, Japan, France and Germany.

Many rocket parts were carried by the scientists on bicycles from one place to another within Thumba. Even today, sounding rockets take off every week — only it is now a modern station.

Encouraged by the success of the sounding rocket programme, Sarabhai told his team that India had to develop its own satellite launch capability. For this, Sriharikota in AP was taken over by the space department from the Yanadi tribals. This too received the support and cooperation of the locals.

India hasn't quite gone cycling to the moon, but scientists and villagers will all remember the church where the space expedition began in right earnest.

Sovereignty on IM-GoI peace talk menu

Newmai News Network

Kohima, Oct 23: The next round of Indo-Naga peace talks between the Government of India and Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) to be held within this month at The Hague in Netherlands, will include the vexed and much argued issue- “Sovereignty of Nagalim”.

A report published in a Nagaland based newspaper today quoting NSCN sources from The Hague, said that either party will talk about the points on agenda as Naga talks are unconditional unlike the Bodos of Assam and the Government of India and that the Centre cannot dictate the talks with its agenda.

“Nagas have put down their points for a solution a long time ago and sovereignty is one of those even when two Constitutions overlap a new kind of federation is formed between two independent countries but with some intricate connection and overlap”, the newspaper reported.

The Centre and the NSCN are currently studying the Constitution of India to accommodate the demands of Naga people, the report added.

The Naga outfit has already put forth their demand for federal relationship with the Centre.

Next round of talks would be attended by NSCN chairman Isak Chishi Swu and the outfit’s general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah who will be assisted by their emissary V S Atem and other senior functionaries of the NSCN.

The Government of India would be represented by Oscar Fernandes, Union minister of state, Prime Minister’s interlocutor K. Padmanabhaiah and assisted by officials from Union Home Ministry, top security officials and intelligence agencies.

Nearly 60 rounds of talks had been held between the Centre and the NSCN but nothing concrete solution could be hammered out even after 10 years of ceasefire. After the talks reached a stalemate NSCN wanted the truce to be extended indefinitely subject to progress in the talks since July 31 last year.

Manipur State Cabinet takes stand to uproot terrorism

IMPHAL, Oct 22: An emergency Cabinet meeting which was convened this evening chaired by chief minister O Ibobi Singh at his official bungalow strongly condemned yesterday evening’s bomb blast near the gate of Ragailong in Imphal which resulted in the killing of 16 persons and injuries to 27 others. The Cabinet while sharing the sorrow of the bereaved families decided to provide ex-gratia of Rs. 1 lakh to the families of the dead and Rs. 50,000 each to the injured persons as sanctioned by the Prime Minister of India today.

According to a release from the secretary of state Cabinet, the meeting also decided to distribute the ex-gratia amounts in the nearest future.

The release further mentioned that the Cabinet meeting observed that setting a bomb trap which killed and injured several innocent peolple was an act of terrorists. The Cabinet further appealed to the public to stay away from such terrorist groups and make efforts jointly to eliminate such groups. The state government has taken a firm stand to uproot such terrorist groups from the state, the statement added.

The release further observed that the recent charge levelled against the state chief minister by the underground PREPAK was toatlly baseless and was related to the failure of outfit to foil any development activities taken up by the state government. The Cabinet meeting observed the threat perception and warnings given by the outfit which were creating apprehension in the minds of the public calling it highly condemnable.

The government is ready to fight any type of hindrance from the anti-social and anti-national activities on the development activities in the state, the release added.

In the meantime, according to a source which quoted a senior Cabinet minister, the state Cabinet in its meeting held this evening approved the state holiday list for the coming year 2009 along with approving the appointment of retired director of economics and statistics department, O Biren as OSD for six months on contract basis for conducting survey for the successful implementation of the Jawarharlal Nahru Urban Renewable Mission, JNURM in the state, and extention of six months services of L Kullachandra, under secretary Cabinet and DP.

Later, the Cabinet meeting briefly discussed the existing law and order situation in the state and advised the state DGP to tighten up security measures to prevent any unwanted incidents, mainly in the greater Imphal area.

The Imphal Free Press

Tipaimukh Dam — Loss of culture or revival of culture?

- RS Jassal

I wish to use the valued column of your daily paper to ventilate concern ever progress of Tipaimukh issue concisely as well as precisely. Since I have already written four detailed articles on this issue, attended four to five seminars/discussions in the last five to six years at Imphal, Public awareness programme at Nungba & visiting the Dam site, I feel it my duty as a senior citizen to pen down the few facts for public information.

(a) Back Flash:-

Tipaimukh lies neglected since centuries. Hills around have been denuded of forest cover slowly and steadily. Barak river water ways have been used for clandestine transportation of timber, bamboo & horticulture products mercilessly but honourably & fixed sincerity of denying revenue to the State. Road Man Bahadur–Parbung- Tipaimukh rendered beyond use by interfering with lawful agencies to carry out maintenance and repair works. Petrol pumps at the interior along road are lying dry and deserted. I visited the area(s) during Aug 2006. I had to enter Tipaimukh via Sawkardei-Aizwal–Verangte-Silchar road which speaks volumes of our stately concern of manning our inter State border. Bridge at Tipaimukh river was in dilapidated condition and Army Engineers ex Leimakhong were constructing bridge and putting up buildings (PFH) for storage purposes to maintain Army/Assam Rifle units which were hurriedly moved into Parbung Sector (till then Police sector) to get areas cleared of UG occupation and the IEDs in area TSD subsequent to furore created in the Parliament by H’ble MP, Mr HT Sangliana. Some villagers were seen carrying ginger with baskets to cross over water to go to Sawkardei sub division in Mizoram (Hmar populated).

A query raised by me was replied interpretted that some UG organisation(s) were charging Rs 10 per basket as tax. Ferry charged Rs 5 per head and basket used to be sold at around Rs 50 – Rs 60. Petrol used to cost Rs 15 extra per litre being brought from Aizawl to be sold at Sikibung side to run odd WILLY jeeps & IInd World War vintage Tata’s running on the road Tipaimukh to Langthulien, Parbung. Police was five constables body at Parbung with no CP at Tipaimukh to regulate inter State Policing activity which is the fundamental duty of Administration. Road Sawkerdai to Tipaimukh bridge side was found left untarmacced even ungravelled (about 2 kms short of Tuivai mullah Junc-anticipatory to submerging of areas subsequent to new road alignment after dam wall comes up. Situation though has not improved either other than that Army/Assam Rifles battalion are there now who are providing people of communication and local employment service & attending to their basic needs in health sector and in local contracts/ supplies including services for canteen popularly called CSD. Objections to construction of Dam are pouring in from main Nagaland area, Capital parts of Imphal and lately joined by HPC(D) but at the same time not objected by other HPC factions.

Persons well versed in local and international law wish to try knowledge on our home State only over looking to use their moral pressure and legal expertise on China who are damnedly busy in making our Brahmaputra river dry of water. I am referring to blocking of Brahmaputra’s down stream flow of water within their jurisdiction. I am told it is just 1600 km of zig zag length running through their land co-joined by various streams & rivulets into Brahmaputra just like from Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland & Assam. Opponents to dam are willing to mobilise Bangladesh and UN for Tipaimukh but not CHINA to stop their activity under International Human Law (IHL).

In view of above author raises some queries.

(i) Do we wish to keep area ‘as it was’ and ‘as it is’ for future generations and keep present generation deprived of power and development? Tipaimukh and Doyeng project were conceived on same date. Doyeng with 75 MW power generation capacity has been completed and is serving the people. Area prior to that was full of snakes, jackals dark, now it is lighthouse providing light to Nagaland. Earlier Nagaland used to buy current from Mariani sub station of Assam which has been suspended. And yet one feeder unit of 25MW (out of 75 MW) was lying unutilised till 2 years back.

Never mind people there also are bad payees of electric bills like MAJORITY of us are in Manipur. Since Govt of Nagaland had no money to pay to NEEPCO as their dues NEEPCO was selling that to Assam. Here our student community is suffering badly for lack of regular supply of light. It is inter linked further, as NEEPCO also has to clear the bills of SAILS from whom they purchase fuel to run their plants. Hence comes importance of clearing power consumption bills by every citizen to expect Govt. for continued supply of current.

(ii) Anticipated cost of Tipaimukh multi purpose hydro (electric) project was estimated at Rs 3000 crores to start with. Due to non start for more than six years it raised to revised estimate of Rs 6000 crores two years back.

(iii) I happened to interact with a very senior executive officer of NEEPCO from Shillong on his visit to Imphal recently.

He divulged it has again to be further revised if works are delayed and estimate may go up to Rs 8000 crores. If it will be so, it is going to impact wished advantages to the State & people proportionately.

In view of above the organisations and individuals who are against it must appreciate the real cause of objections which may be monetary transactions between Govt & THE PEOPLE, and not environs clearance or Forest clearance.

To support my point did any organisation ever raise objection to Forest, Environ sector for illegal extraction of timber from Tipaimukh Sub Division (TSD)? Unknown till dam issue came up. Despite the fact that Christianity is holding strength there & in Bible it is told as sin if one does not pay the taxes to Govt as Govt is agreed to be part of GOD & its system.

Have we ever realised why Mizoram Government and their people are not raising any violent objections though their river is also going to be tapped? De facto Tuivai taken as Mizoram origin also emanates from Manipur from close to Parbung known as Tuibum Lui enters Myanmar & turns around & with boost in water of numerous nallahs & rivulet thorough Mizoram merges into Barak. And the power once generated may be providing light to dark areas of Hmar or Zou segments in Myanmar too which will become necessary one day as a resultant. Note, Mizoram is still better of in supplying power to their State and its people and their power cut will be zero once project gets functional. If stores & heavy machineries for Dam/Project are transported ex Silchar-Verangte-Aizwal-Sawkardai axis to Tipaimukh, how much economic boost it will be providing to Mizos is a matter of imagination worth weighing by common sense.

And if same activity undertaken along Jiribam, MB road to Parbung-Tipaimukh how much advantages people in Manipur can accrue is also worth evaluating. It is said Govt gave first priority to lay Foundation Stone only then first ensuring developing the road along which stores were to reach. Remember it was only Army & Assam Rifles who reached there without waiting for communication steadiness & physical comforts. Civil stores can now reach & technicians, engineers will never reach without security. What happened to CRPF security cover of 3 Bns initially on this plan board? How many influential’s big top IFS, IAS, IPS and high counting dignitaries hailing for Tipaimukh sub division come back and would like to settle in their own place?

It is left to be an open ground for anybody and everybody who can add to the misery, sorrows & dark side of human activity. If empowerment to people, enlightenment to the people, better life to the people without making them move out of the State that too not far away but just a few kms that too for odd 2000 persons in total can lead to amelioration of their living would you like to call it as ‘loss of culture’ as professed by some anti dam protagonists.

Author leaves it to the reader’s wisdom, especially inhabitants of that region to decide. As regards loss of identity it is a paradoxical thought. If five persons of different identities are living together each one has to strive hard to guard his identity but where only one distinct group of people (here I mean Hmars) are living since time identifiable by known history, how they are going to lose their identity by moving a few km away that too to re-settle in same ethnic combine. It is wise to leave the problem (surmountable) to the Govt alone. However NGOs must take full measure to ensure compensation to the people so affected may be step by step as per MOU and in a progressive manner.

Money and mode of disbursement of compensation problem will be there since Chiefs, and UG organisations are involved. It will be a BIG EXERCISE indeed. But then the Govt may consider constituting a COMMITTEE of influential’s (three to five) such persons who are sincere and men of integrity to over see the implementation of MoU clauses. Fortunately such persons are available in Manipur.

Imagine this project if divorced from contrarian pulls of various sorts & with controlled communitisation of security & protection it will be not only the first ‘LIGHT HOUSE’ but the first Water City too of Manipur—the biggest ever project in the NE, just second to Bhakra Nangal Hydro Dam of same MW capacity(1500). Delay in execution of the Project is going to affect railway line alignment around Makru River too.

Students released

According to a press release of Kuki Students’ Organisatin (KSO), General headquarters, the students were put behind the bars (but bailed out later) for carrying out a rally and demonstration against the killing of villagers by landmine planted by UGs and subsequent Government’s apathy.
