IMPHAL, June 21: Normal life was partly affected in Imphal today during the 12 hour state wide bandh called by the Communist party of India (CPI) state unit from 5 am to 5pm against the state government failure on various issues and against the police action on workers of the party yesterday during a rally taken out by the party marching towards the state Assembly.

There were however no reports of any untoward incidents, though most inter-state and inter-district passenger vehicles remained off the road.

The number of women vendors at the three main market shed in Imphal were also low, while most shops in both Paona and Thangal bazars remained shut for the day, though some remained open.

While some schools remained closed, government offices remained open as usual and the bandh failed to make much difference to the employee attendance in the government offices.

Early morning, bandh supporters came out on the street at Lamlong area and asked all shops to remain closed.

Kuki Inpi expresses concern over burning down of 23 houses

SAIKUL, June 21 (NNN): The Kuki Inpi, Saikul Gamkai has expressed deep concern over the burning down of 23 houses of Thingjang village by the villagers of Khongbal Tangkhul on June 14.

“The incident was a very unfortunate one which was a result of a dispute over a piece of land between the two villages,” said the Kuki Inpi, Saikul Gamkhai.

“The burning down of houses/ huts and extermination of standing crops by spraying pesticides was an uncivilised act which has no place in this civilised world. The Kuki Inpi, Saikul Gamkai, therefore urged both Thingjang and Khongbal Tangkhul villages to reason it out and solve the land dispute in good faith according to tribal customary laws for the sake of peace, communal harmony and good neighbourly relations,” advised Thangkam Lupheng, president of Kuki Inpi, Saikul Gamkhai.

On June 14, headman of Thingjang village under Saikul in Senapati district of Manipur had alleged that a large number of armed people from the neighbouring village of Khongbal Tangkhul had torched around 20 houses and destroyed standing vegetable crops grown in the field measuring about 20 acre in the former village.

Tangkhohao Haokip, chief of the Thingjang village had told Newmai News Network that around 20 houses in the village were burned down by armed persons from the nieghbouring village who later destroyed the standing crops by smearing poisonous substance in the field.

He had claimed that the properties lost in the arson including the devastation of the crops worth around 20 lakh.

The village chief then urged the concerned authorities to look into the matter at the earliest and demanded that the Government pay proper compensation to the victims of the incident.

He also warned that launching of intense agitation might become the only choice of the Thingjing villagers if the Government fails to act on time.

LAMKA, June 21: A portion of a room collapsed yesterday at the Children’s OPD of the Churachandpur District Hospital, while three Doctors were attending to approximately 80 to 100 children.

A part of a beam in one of the rooms meant for children’s room collapsed.

Staffs of the hospital on conditions of anonymity said that this is the second time that a part of the beam has collapsed in Room No 19 in as many months.

The adjacent room nos 14, 15 and 16 of the Medicine, Surgical and Mini OT`S OPDs are also developing cracks which can give way any day, they complained.

Doctors who were on duty when the incident happened said the collapse was due to use of sub-standard material in the construction of the building.

The doctors continued that one of the doctors attending to a child patient inside the room had a narrow escape with the collapsing part missed him by a whisker.

People who were outside the room said there was a loud noise as if the whole building had collapsed.

It was pure luck that no one was injured during the incident, they said.

This kind of collapse is not new to the hospital which is ironically an  ISO certified hospital with its foundation stone had been laid by  the then Minister Chaltonlien Amo on May 31, 1997.

Recently, the ceiling of the OT had been in the news for falling flat down and the situation is no better now with the ceiling of the major part of OPD already about to fall and starting to curve.      

After the incident, the doctors continued with checking their patients at the ground floor while attendants and workers tried to clean up the debris left by the fall.

She continued that Rajpati had on several counts returned to her parental home owing to the inhuman torture by her husband and further alleged that she was treated by her husband’s family as an animal and was kept separately in a room under lock.

She lamented that her sister has problems of fits whenever she is tensed or sad but with medication she has been getting better, however this doesn’t mean that she is mentally challenged as her husband and his family had made her out to be.

Prasad Joint Director, PIB, Chennai The Indian dairy sector has acquired substantial growth momentum from 9th Plan onwards as a result of which the country now ranks first among the world’s milk producing nations, achieving an annual output of about 130 million tonnes.

M.V.S. Prasad Joint Director, PIB, Chennai
The Indian dairy sector has acquired substantial growth momentum from 9th Plan onwards as a result of which the country now ranks first among the world’s milk producing nations, achieving an annual output of about 130 million tonnes. This represents sustained growth in the availability of milk and milk products for our growing population. Dairying has become an important secondary source of income for millions of rural families and has assumed the most important role in providing employment and income generating opportunities particularly for marginal and women farmers. The per capita availability of the milk has reached a level of 290 grams per day by the year 2012, which is more than the world average of 284 grams per day. Most of the milk in the country is produced by small, marginal farmers and landless labourers.
About 14.78 million farmers have been brought under the ambit of 1,48,965 village level dairy corporative societies up to March 2012. Farmers of marginal, small and semi-medium operational holdings (area less than 4 ha) own about 87.7% of the livestock. India is endowed with the largest livestock population in the world. It accounts for about 57.3 per cent of the world’s buffalo population and 14.7 per cent of the cattle population.
Animal husbandry and dairying play an important role in national economy and in socio-economic development of the country.
These activities play a significant role in generating gainful employment in the rural areas, particularly among the landless, small and marginal farmers and women, besides providing cheap and nutritious food. Livestock are the best insurance for farmers against vagaries of nature like drought and other natural calamities. Several measures have been initiated by the Government to increase the productivity of milch animals, which has resulted in increasing the milk production significantly.
National Dairy Plan
In order to meet the rapidly growing demand for milk with a focus to improve milch animal productivity and increase milk production, the Government has also approved National Dairy Plan Phase-1(NDP-1) in February, 2012 with a total investment of about Rs. 2242 crore to be implemented upto 2016-17. NDP-1 will help to meet the projected national demand of 150 million tonnes of milk by 2016-17.
This is envisaged through productivity enhancement, strengthening and expanding village level infrastructure for milk procurement and provide producers with greater access to markets. NDP-1 would focus on 14 major milk producing states – Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Kerala which account for over 90% of the country’s milk production.
A total sum of Rs.79.00 crore has been released to NDDB upto 31-12-2012, for implementation of the scheme.
Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme
A modified scheme namely Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (DEDS) was launched on 1-9-2010, for promoting private investment in the dairy sector. The Scheme aims at increasing investment in dairy sector for increasing milk production in the country apart from helping in poverty reduction through self employment opportunities. It is being implemented through NABARD and provides financial assistance to the bankable projects through Commercial, Cooperative, Urban and Rural Banks with a back ended capital subsidy of 25% of the project cost for general category and 33.33% of the project cost for SC & ST beneficiaries as Central assistance subject to norms of the scheme.
Farmers, individual entrepreneurs, group of unorganized and organized sector are eligible to benefit under this. Group of organized sector includes self-help groups, dairy cooperative societies; district level Milk Unions, State Milk Federation, etc.
Since inception, NABARD has disbursed an amount of Rs.251.20 crore to the beneficiaries for sanctioning 62,046 dairy units upto 31st December, 2012. Further, the Government has released an amount of Rs.140 crore to NABARD during 2012-13 for the implementation of the scheme, out of which NABARD has released back ended capital subsidy of Rs.127.13 crore for establishment of 32,749 dairy units upto 31-12-2012.
Assistance to Cooperatives
This Scheme was started during the year 1999-2000, with the objective to rehabilitate the sick dairy Cooperative Milk Union at the district level and Milk Federations at the State level. The Scheme is being implemented on 50:50 sharing basis between the Government and the State Government concerned through NDDB. The rehabilitation plan is prepared by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in consultation with the concerned State Milk Federation/ District Milk Union. Each rehabilitation plan is prepared in such a manner that the net worth of the sick Cooperative will become positive within a period of seven years from the date of its approval.
Since inception, the Department has approved 42 rehabilitation projects for the sick Milk Unions at a total cost of Rs.310.91 crore with the Central share of Rs. 155.64 crore upto 31-12-2012 in the States of Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Haryana, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, Assam Nagaland, Punjab, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. A total sum of Rs. 120.64 crore as central share has been released to the sick Cooperative Milk Unions upto 31st December, 2012.

Why should street vendors continue to create pestering problems? There is enough space for them and they can do brisk business by going to Sanakeithel. The number of buyers at Sanakeithel is also on the rise and vegetables sold by these vegetable vendors are also cheap. These vendors doing business at Sankeithel are really enterprising they know unless the price is made cheaper none will come for buying at the area. There is no room for price negotiation. Vendors boldly say, fixed price. The old tradition of a simple buyer negotiating the price of coriander leaves is gone. Those who compete shine in life. These street vendors at Khwairamband bazaar areas swimming in the false dream that the gullible buyers, who happen to pass by will buy up all their belonging assuming the items sold by them are cheaper. No buyer wants to buy vegetables from such sellers. Moreover responsibility cannot be fixed in the event of the bought items decaying. Those, who sell items under the shed at their allotted plot behave in a responsible manner for they will lose customers when they sell rotten items to the buyers. All these streets and foot paths are for vehicles and pedestrians. They might not be hearing but they are being cursed for making the road narrower. Vehicles want to move smoothly without facing any hindrance. These vendors are not only making the roads narrow but also spoiling the city, which is the face of the state. The concerned authority should make all out efforts to rehabilitate all these street vendors at the outskirt bazaar areas. There are market sheds at Tera, Kwakeithel, Singjamei, Lamlong etc. All these street vendors can be accommodated at these markets also. We as simple buyers can do a lot to bring the change. We must think of buying vegetables from these out skirt markets. Why should one go to Kwairamband bazaar for buying cucumber and brinjal when all these items are available next door? But the Government cannot treat these street vendor like mad cow. It is pitiable scene and one feels crying when these vendors are chased by men in uniform. They flee when men in uniform approach near them but after they have gone away the vendors come again to occupy the little space available near the stinky nullah. Whatever the case may be they have to be evicted. Roads, which are widened after spending huge amount of money cannot be kept as is being kept. Street vendors must not create problems at the crowded areas.
