The indefinite “public blockade” in all the highways passing through “Kuki areas” was announced on November 12 by the Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) in demand ‘for a separate Kuki state to be carved out of Kuki traditional lands incorporated within the present day Manipur.
Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) will wait for any positive response from the government till Monday afternoon before it takes new course of action.

SENAPATI, Nov 18 NNN: The civil organisations based in Senapati district have inspected the ongoing repairing works along the National Highway 2 from the Manipur-Nagaland border at Mao Gate to Senapati district headquarters on Saturday and witnessed that considerable progress has been done.
Three days after inspection and assurance made by the Manipur Works minister Kh. Ratan to resume repairing works along the National Highway-2 between Mao Gate in the Manipur-Nagaland border and Senapati district headquarters in view of the ASEAN Car rally, a joint team of civil organizations including Naga Peoples Organisation (NPO), Senapati District Students Assopciation (SDSA) and Mao Council conducted a surprise inspection of the ongoing works.
According to SDSA president L.R John, the team made a physical inspection near Mao-Gate which has begun the black-topping works. They also witnessed some considerable works implemented in other parts of the highway which are yet to be carpeted.
It may be noted that, the Mao to Tadubi stretch has been the worst portion with just boulders making up the highly acclaimed life line of Manipur. The recent developmental works of the NH-2 has come as surprise and much anticipated move of the State Government which the people of the district have been demanding for good road since many years now.
The three civil bodies have lauded the concerned Manipur PWD department and the contractors for living up to the wishes of the general public to have a motorable road. While extending its endorsement and co-operation to the works, they also appealed to the public to extend their maximum support and co-operations to the department, contractors, laborers and protection of the machinery along the highway. The three bodies have also asked any organization or agency not to interfere or disturb the ongoing works which can jeopardize the whole project and further delay the successful implementation of a developed NH-2.

IMPHAL, Nov 18 NNN: Global Liangmai Forum (GLF) is organising a day-long seminar at Liangmai Church, Imphal on December 21 with former Lok Sabha member Mani Charenamei and former joint director of Tribal Research Institute (TRI), government of Manipur as resource persons.

Albert Chawang, Angambou Kalengta, Samuel Medaliang, Tasuangwi and K Rangambou Niumai are main initiators of this Global Liangmai Forum.

This forum is more of an ideological think tank, a platform to reason and deliberate and also act as a ‘clearing house’ for ideas and dissemination of the same for our own growth, progress, prosperity and well being.
“It is an inclusive/common forum which is why the word ‘global’ is used to indicate that our intention is for our people to bond beyond borders of all kinds. This is an apolitical forum which will be mostly confined to churning of ideas, however, from time to time, the forum will also organize some activities like felicitating the Liangmai for the achievement in various fields, organizing educational tours, conducting seminars, creating awareness on different issues concerning Liangmai community, etc. with the intention of fostering the smooth functioning and to help realized the goals of the already existing Liangmai bodies like LNC, LC, LNKR, LSA etc.
“This forum will not be institutionalized by electing office bearers but based on the occasion and situation, a coordinator will be appointed to look after the project and also it will not actively function at home (Manipur & Nagaland) every time with our physical presence. This body is created with an ambition to strengthen the hands and wings of the existing Liangmai organizations,” the GLF said today.

IMPHAL, Nov 18 NNN : In the backdrop of the allegations hurled against the union president Momo Tantanga as involved in inducement in the appointment of teachers, the All Tribal Disables’ Union Manipur (ATDUM) has sought proof within three days’ time or else face court proceeding.

Manipur may witness ugly situation

Frank admission by Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiew Rio that cultural and emotional integrity of all Nagas inhabiting in different parts of the state on the eve of Nagaland state assembly election slated for March is in thing.

Frank admission by Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiew Rio that cultural and emotional integrity of all Nagas inhabiting in different parts of the state on the eve of Nagaland state assembly election slated for March is in thing. Perhaps he knows that integration of all Naga inhabited areas will not be possible. But Kukis’ demand for separate homeland is confusing. Therefore the entire people in Manipur see Kukis’ demand for separate homeland as a move to foil NSCN demand for amalgamation of all Naga inhabited areas under one administrative unit. Kukis demand is not only reasonable but it also reduces all forms of agitation to farce. Because agitation cannot be used to mock other people’s demand. Leaders of the community should advise the agitating youths to stop the indefinite blockade immediately. The impact of the agitation has been felt. Now long queue is seen near oil depot. No leader in the country will be able to break Manipur to create another homeland within the territory of the state. It is really sad these agitating people cannot grasp the mood of the political leaders at the centre. The leaders at the centre had stated time and again the territorial boundary of the states in NE region will not be disturbed. Is Neiphiew Rio who upholds NSCN demand for integration of all Naga inhabited areas more powerful than our Chief Minister O. Ibobi or Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. NSCN demand for expansion of Naga areas was the fall out of the peace talk held between the Union Government and the NSCN. When such demand which is supported even by a popular Government cannot be considered by the Union Government let alone fulfilling it, how do Kukis think that their demand for separate homeland would reach within the pale of hearing of those at the helm of affairs in the capital. Every community has the right to demand for fulfilment of their demands like development of particular areas for improvement of connectivity and for getting other basic amenities. None will say anything against such demand and agitation launched for getting such demands will be supported by all. But an agitation, which is not supported by all will never be fulfilled. Moreover the nature of agitation is also inhuman. It attempts to strangulate all living things. Indefinite blockade is not heard even in the country like Afghanistan, which warring against US. Such type of agitation by the son of the soil against its own people sounds funny? India Government will not feel the pang at all. It will not even find time to discuss such demand. The agitating youths are advised to feel the gravity of the situation prevailing in the state of Manipur, which belongs to all communities. Stop this agitation. The energy should be used in bettering the community and also in uplifting deteriorating conditions of the people living in remote parts of the state. The biggest festival of the Christians is also knocking at the door. November, December is festival time. Uncertainties loom large, which has crippled thinking capability of all. Unless extra precaution is taken Manipur may witness ugly situation. That may cause colossal loss. All out efforst should be paid to controlling impending crisis.
