80 vehicles damaged in attack by bandh supporters

Senapati, Aug 16 NNN: About 80 goods vehicles were stoned by bandh supporters between Mao Gate and Maram along the National Highway 2 (previously NH-39) this afternoon.

Senapati, Aug 16 NNN: About 80 goods vehicles were stoned by bandh supporters between Mao Gate and Maram along the National Highway 2 (previously NH-39) this afternoon. One loaded oil tanker got leaked due to the stoning while another loaded oil tanker dashed into a drain.
The Senapati police have filed four FIRs against the bandh sponsor.
The Senapati District Chairmen/Secretaries Association has been imposing a 48-hour bandh since the midnight of August 15 in protest against the deduction of 25 percent MGNREGS fund from the villages account.
According to reports received, the oil tankers were latter given protection by the police and the CRPF personnel. The leaked oil tanker is either in the custody of the 5th Assam Rifles or in the Senapati police station. It is yet to confirm.
The incident occurred near Makhan at around 2:30 pm.
Reports further said all the vehicles have been escorted by the CRPF personnel but due to the long tailing of the vehicles, the bandh supporters managed to carry out their act. About 10 passenger buses from Dimapur also came along with the goods transporters but since they were moving ahead of the rest, these public vehicles were not affected.
Reports also added that windshields of several vehicles were damaged due to the stoning by the bandh supporters between Mao Gate and Maram.

It can be mentioned that on August 4, chairman of the Senapati Autonomous District Council (ADC) R.S Henry Hiilii had clarified that the ADC members will never deduct any part of the MGNREGS fund which is meant for the people.
However, Henry Hiilii had also cited the government order of 2010 that states, “As per the order issued by the commissioner of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (RD & PR) on September 14, 2010, it has been clearly mentioned that 50% of the funds available under NREGS shall be provided to the Gram Panchayats or Village Authorities, 25% of the funds to the Zilla Parishads and District Councils and the remaining 25% of the funds to the line departments for implementation of the scheme/projects under NREGS guidelines,” claimed R.S Henry Hiilii. He then added that as far as the deduction and transferring is concerned.

Gadkari assures safety of northeast People

New Delhi Aug 16 (UNA): Nitin Gadkari, National President Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) termed the crisis of Karnataka in wake of the recent Assam violence is extremely unfortunate, and asked the Congress-led UPA government to take stern action against the anti-national forces trying to created communal violence on Thursday.

New Delhi Aug 16 (UNA): Nitin Gadkari, National President Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) termed the crisis of Karnataka in wake of the recent Assam violence is extremely unfortunate, and asked the Congress-led UPA government to take stern action against the anti-national forces trying to created communal violence on Thursday.
While talking to UNA at his office, Gadkari said that the present situation in Assam is due to differences between Indians and foreign nationals.
“I expect the central government will take-up stern action against the anti-national forces. Who want to destabilize India and create complications and spoil the law and order situation in the country,” said Gadkari.
Gadkari said that he has discussed the present situation in Karnataka with Chief Minister of Karnataka, Jagadish Shettar, and assured that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled state will take all measures to protect all northeast students.
“Not a single incident has happened there, but because of the fear a lot of northeast students are leaving Karnataka, Hyderabad. I have already discussed this issue with my chief minister.
We will protect all the northeast students and citizens and our government will take extra measures for that,” added Gadkari.
Gadkari further mentioned that the BJP would raise this issue in both houses of Parliament, and also convey its feelings to Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh and Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde over the matter.
“Already, the leaders of opposition in both the houses are taking this issue very seriously. They will take this subject in the houses of Parliament, and will also convey our feeling to the Home Minister and the Prime Minister,” he said.
Union Home Secretary RK Singh earlier this morning said that there has been no untoward incident in Karnataka, and appealed the people to stop spreading rumours.
Singh emphasized that people from the North Eastern states are not facing problems in any region of the country, and added that the ongoing rumour in Karnataka has to be stopped.
“There has been no incident in Karnataka. I have been speaking to the Chief Secretary and the DGP. These are just rumours and people need to discount rumours. There has been no incident,” said Singh.
Singh informed that Karnataka Home Minister R. Ashok himself went to the railway station to stop the people from the North Eastern states from leaving the city and made efforts to instil confidence in them.
The Prime Minister earlier spoke to Karnataka Chief Minister, Jagadish Shettar on the issue of providing security to people from North Eastern states staying in Karnataka.

Sanjenthong Bridge

It seems there is none to demand widening of Sanjenthong Bridge. This bridge might be around half century old.

Though it […]

It seems there is none to demand widening of Sanjenthong Bridge. This bridge might be around half century old. Elsewhere in other parts of the country such type of bridge that serves little purpose is dismantled to be replaced by wider and longer bridge. This bridge should have been dismantled long time back. Though it was built to better road communication between Imphal East and west it has created more problem than serving the users. If no bridge existed here the place might have remained as a secluded area. If no vehicle moves at the area the place would have been filled with clean air. The narrow bridge connecting Imphal east and west has caused traffic jam every day. Crossing the 30 meter stretch has become a nightmare. By adding three meters on both sides the bridge can be widened. If the bridge is expanded in the manner stated above frequently occurring traffic jam will be easier to tackle. Traffic jam caused by the bridge extends up to Raj Bhavan on the western side and Palace gate on the eastern side. Traffic controllers find it humanly impossible to manage vehicle movement during office hours. Vehicles move at snail pace at the area with drivers pressing on both accelerator and clutch without switching off the engine raising the decibel level and also polluting the area with the smoke coming out of engines. In case of a vehicle stopping in the middle of the road due to engine break down the traffic is thrown out of gear. Noise level at the area where the Chief Minister’s bungalow is situated has been increased. The sound emitted by the vehicles is deafening. Smoke emitted through the silencer has also polluted the clean air. If the VIPs staying at the area fall sick quite often it might have been caused by the unclean air blowing at the area. Importance of clean air in improving human health had been stressed time and again. In Thailand several spacious areas have been earmarked as Oxygen Park. Too many men and women who had their bones fractured caused, by the tsunami, having been smashed against the wall and trees had miraculous improvement after staying at the oxygen park. Chief Minister’s bungalow is adjacent to the traffic prone road. If there is a machine to check purity of air at the area surely it will reveal the poor quality of air sweeping at the area. It will reveal it is unsafe for inhaling by living things let alone human beings. Who cares attitude however continues to be shown to the bridge. Too many bridges had been constructed over the past two or three decades at different places. Fly over had been constructed and the longest bridge too had been constructed. But this Sanjenthong is left untouched. That is perplexing. If the bridge cannot be expanded an alternative route needs to be created to connect Imphal East and West and also to avoid suffocation. Almost all the VIPs of the state use this bridge every day. Amazingly they cannot feel the need for expanding the breadth of the bridge. If they thought something would have been done. Do something. That will serve better.
