Developmental works pending due to bad law and order situation : Sangma

Imphal, Dec 15 MNS/ NNN : Union Minister of State for Rural Development Agatha Sangma on Thursday said there are a wide range of developmental projects and schemes with very much potential benefits for the people of Manipur but these cannot be fully put into effect owing to bad situation in the State.

Imphal, Dec 15 MNS/ NNN : Union Minister of State for Rural Development Agatha Sangma on Thursday said there are a wide range of developmental projects and schemes with very much potential benefits for the people of Manipur but these cannot be fully put into effect owing to bad situation in the State.
Agatha Sangma who is also a leader of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) , is in a three-day visit to Manipur. She was speaking during a one-day political conference which was organized, particularly for Thangmeiband Constituency in Imphal, a home constituency of Manipur Pradesh NCP president and opposition leader Radhabinod Koijam.
Agatha Sangma rues that in spite of the availability of various developmental projects and schemes, these cannot be fully put it into effect due to the prevailing state of affairs in the State.
“The state Government failed to do anything that could help the people who had underwent hardships due to the 100-day-long economic blockade enforced along national highways leading to Manipur”, Agatha blamed the Government.
She said the public should opt for an “alternative government” to avoid such sufferings in the future, and that the State of Manipur needs a change.
A quite number of well-educated young people are seeking jobs for a living while the government is not giving them such opportunity which in turn disrupts law and order of the State, she further said.
Agatha cited it is against the protocol to meet Irom Chanu Sharmila, who is on fast for more than 10 years demanding the revocation of AFSPA from Manipur, and that she met her because she is also a representative of the Northeast.
She said it is shameful for the mainland India that thousands of people came out in support of prominent anti-graft activist Anna Hazare who broke his fast only after four days while no attention is being paid to the 11-year-long fast struggle of Sharmila, and that she (Agatha) is trying to bring up every issue of Manipur in the Parliament.
Laishom Ibomcha said, the NCP will field its 25 candidates one of which about 15 will be successful in the 10th Manipur state assembly election which may be held in the first week of February.
If NCP is a partner of govt. the AFSPA, 1958 will be withdrawn from the state. The party will also discuss the extension of MLR act or make a land law.
He was speaking as guest of honour at the one-day political conference of Thangmeiband NCP at Ibudhou Naothingkhong Pakhangba Shanglen, Thangmeiband and Lairenhanjaba Leikai today.
There is a total failure in PDS system. No food were distributed since August although there is the report of carrying the essential items from the concerned deptt, he also said.
A one day NCP political conference of Keishamthong A/C will be held at Nambul Mapal Youth Club ground, Keishamthong Ahanthem Leikai tomorrow at 8.30 a.m.
PA Sangma, former Lok Sabha speaker, RB Koijam, MLA and president NCP Manipur State Km. Agatha Sangma, MoS, RD will grace the occasion as chief guest, president and guest of honour respectively.

Terming it as very unfortunate the violation of Ground Rules by some of the groups under SoO, which lead to public out-cry and criticism, the Chief Minister stated that SoO should not be used as a shield to carry on extortion and unlawful activities. This is against the principle of SoO and cannot be tolerated, he added and appealed to such groups to give up such violations forthwith and cooperate in the larger public interest.
The Chief Minister appealed to all other UG outfits which are not under SoO to shun the path of violence and enter into the peace process for peace and prosperity in the State. He also congratulated the HQ IGAR (South) for their efforts to bring back various UG outfits to the mainstream.
