IMPHAL, March 3: The National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme was launched in Manipur as part of its nation-wide launch to improve the electoral roll, said State`™s Chief Electoral Officer O Nabakishore, also the additional Chief Secretary today.

After announcing the launching of the same programme in the state, the CEO said that his office will work its best to check multiple registration of electors`™ name, repeating images, repeating EPIC number etc. in the electoral roll under this programme.

He said that under NERPAP, facility will be provided for voluntarily disclosure of multiple entries by the voters.

Addressing media persons at a press meet at his office in the New Secretariat building, he said as per the directive of the Election Commission of India to every CEO of various States to formally launch NERPAP today, it was launched in the State also.

With an objective of bringing an error-free and authenticated electoral roll after considering the inputs of various CEOs, ECI has decided to launch the comprehensive National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme from today with a clear timeline and well-defined goal, he stated.

He said the major objective of NERPAP is to link and authenticate EPIC data of electors with Aadhar data of UIDAI only. If there is any duplication of electoral rolls, such cases would be disposed off within 15 days by the concerned EROs after intimating the concerned electors, he added.

It will conduct the correction of errors or any relevant entry pertaining to electors within 15 days on the production of cogent documentary evidence, he said, adding electors can improve quality of their images by following due procedures. The mobile numbers and email addresses of the electors will be obtained and fed in the ER database so that periodic information of poll day revision schedule, deletion/correction notice etc and other facilitation service can be provided to them, the CEO said.

He said the means of feeding Aadhar numbers and EPIC card numbers by electors through the national voters`™ service portal through the website of ECI or through SMSes to `51060` or e-mail and mobile apps is under development and is likely to be available by first week of March. The ECO, Manipur has already directed every DC of the State to conduct the rectification of electoral errors, he said.

He further stated that under the voters`™ education programme, the month of March will be focussed on `women to be proud as voters`™ awareness campaign.

Human Rights body to file PIL against govt order for compulsory installation of High Security Number Plates

IMPHAL, March 3: The Human Rights Defender, Manipur is likely to lodge a PIL at the Manipur High Court soon against the Transport Department if it doesn`™t withdraw the order

IMPHAL, March 3: The Human Rights Defender, Manipur is likely to lodge a PIL at the Manipur High Court soon against the Transport Department if it doesn`™t withdraw the order issued by its Director that made the High Security Registration Number Plates on vehicles mandatory in the State.

Speaking to the media at the Manipur Press Club, HRDM general secretary Moirangthem Rakesh said the order issued by the Director has created an avenue for the police personnel, VDF personnel and traffic control police personnel to earn sizeable incomes.

The memory chip devices which are to be installed in high security plates are not easily available. Many vehicles installed with high security plates have been stolen but the department has not been able to trace the vehicles, he said.

Even as the installed high security plates have failed to function properly in the State, police and traffic police and VDF personnel are demanding money from vehicle owners by citing the non-installation of the high security number plates as the reason, he said.

He further stated that police and VDF personnel demand to know from vehicle owners whether they have proper verifications of their vehicles and have got the high security number plates installed while checking vehicles instead of finding out any unwanted elements.

It is not their duty to find the details about vehicles, he said, adding in a similar vein, traffic control police personnel whose job is to control traffic flow have also started checking vehicles.

All these activities must be done by the Transport Department, he said, adding their unwarranted activities are creating lots of hindrance to the people. This must be stop at the earliest, he emphasised.

Many Treasury Rules (TRs) have been drawn by the traffic police, police and VDF personnel but in which account the money thus collected have been put in, he demands to know.

Moreover, the department also connived with the company to fleece money by befooling people in the name of installing high security plates for security reasons, he said.

HRDM chairman Joy Chingakham said the State`™s Human Right Commission is defunct for many years now and thus human rights have been violated with impunity.

KSO-GHQ & ANSAM to intensify agitation on IGNTU issue

IMPHAL, March 3: A joint press statement issued by Kuki Students`™ Organisation, General Headquarters and All Naga Students` Association Manipur has stated that the government has to deliver first before

IMPHAL, March 3: A joint press statement issued by Kuki Students`™ Organisation, General Headquarters and All Naga Students` Association Manipur has stated that the government has to deliver first before expecting any positive actions from the agitating students, refusing to call off their agitations as the government which gave assurances after assurances on the IGNTU issue has failed to honour its promises.

The press release further stated that a joint team of the KSO, GH and ANSAM met IFCD & Stationery minister Ngamthang Haokip at his office around 9:30 am to discuss the demands of the IGNTU Students`™ Union, KSO and ANSAM at the invitation of the government on Monday in connection with the IGNTU issue.

Ngamthang Haokip assured the student leaders to construct the approach road from NH-2 to the University Campus at Makhan at the earliest possible date, requesting the student bodies to call off their agitation of picketing the PWD offices at the hill districts, it said. Appreciating the minister`™s initiative and concern shown by him, the student bodies, however, refused to call off the agitation as the government`™s assurances had repeatedly failed to materialise, it added.

The student bodies requested the government to first deliver on its promises and then start expecting positive actions from the agitating students. It further stated the IGNTU students have been boycotting classes since early January, demanding electricity, water supply and construction of the approach road from NH2 to the University campus at Makhan so that the next academic session of the university starts at its permanent site at Makhan in Senapati district, the press release said.

The class boycott were of no help in getting their demands; so, KSO and ANSAM were compelled to start picketing PWD offices at all the hill districts of the State since February 27, it said.

The released further stated that a joint meeting of KSO-GHQ and ANSAM will be held tomorrow to further discuss the issue and their mode of agitations.

The 40 Years Question

The Naga peace talk is approaching 18 years now. A Naga child born at the time would now be in her late teens and somebody who was in her teens

The Naga peace talk is approaching 18 years now. A Naga child born at the time would now be in her late teens and somebody who was in her teens then would be middle aged today. Presuming leaders of the community were in their middle age at the time, they would now be aged with a foot in the grave already, and probably a lot many are already dead and gone. It is always nostalgic to look back at what was once, and the radical changes time brings to what all once believed was reality. With the turn of generations, what invariably are also ushered in are new aspirations, desires, longings, hopes, ambitions… The trouble often begins when old guards remain after the eras have changed, a problem only democracy has been somewhat able to handle, with its mechanism of mandate renewal for its leaders. If a set of leaders feel they still deserve to remain as leaders after their democratic terms end, they would have to win the mandate of the people again, otherwise, new leaders take over. We talk of the Naga situation only because there is a peculiar sense of urgency here as the Naga underground leadership have chosen to seek a solution through talks, and not because what we have said applies only to the Naga situation. It would indeed apply to those groups who still refuse to seek a negotiated settlement just as well. In the Naga situation then, because a solution is sought on a tangible forum, there are expectations that it be found without further delay. Indications are, such a `solution`™ is in the pipeline, but as to whether this `solution`™ can actually solve is the intriguing question.

At this moment then, nothing presents the problem of a changed era than the possible `solution`™ to the Naga peace talks. It is unlikely the negotiators are not mindful of another `solution`™ the Nagas had in hand 40 years ago in the Shillong Accord 1975. The accord fell through because the present generation of leaders of the NSCN(IM) rejected it. The questions foremost in the minds of critics, neutral observers as well as supporters of Naga problem, today would be, would the present `solution`™ be any different from the `solution`™ of 40 years ago? If not, who must pay for the 40 more years of sufferings, loss of lives and tearing uncertainties amongst the Nagas? Let there be no doubt, these are questions which will definitely be asked by the Nagas themselves, and the NSCN(IM) leaders must have satisfactory answers for them. The trouble also is, there is the possibility only sections of the Nagas, probably most of them from the state of Nagaland, would be asking these, introducing the further possibility of fresh divisions amongst the Nagas, just as the opposition to the Shillong Accord had caused. At this moment, it is difficult to imagine a `solution`™ which is in any way radically different from what the the Shillong Accord offered, with sovereignty probably out of any reckoning and even its placebo of Greater Nagaland in all likelihood ruled out. In this light, it may also yet be discovered that in its essence, the Naga Problem is more a Manipur Problem.

Forty years ago, the objection to the Shillong Accord appealed to a whole generation of Nagas. Forty years later, the problem is how to accommodate a similar accord and explain the objections raised 40 years ago satisfactorily in today`™s changed context. It must again be said that this however is not a problem peculiar to the Nagas alone. It applies to all other continuing insurgencies for it is the reality of any prolonged violent and traumatic struggle. Conflict resolution is also very much about resolving this internal trauma of conflict survivors, often referred to as `survivor guilt` by scholars. Because these struggles remain fixated in the logic and ideology of a particular era, the longer a struggle continues, the dichotomy between ideology and changing spirits of new eras will become wider and felt all the more painfully when a `solution`™ is sought. The 40 year question is therefore every insurrection`™s problem.

MUTSU and ATSUM lament discrepancies in selection of PhD students in MU

IMPHAL, March 3: In a joint press release, Manipur University Tribal Students` Union and All Manipur Tribal Students` Union have stated that it has come to their notice that the

IMPHAL, March 3: In a joint press release, Manipur University Tribal Students` Union and All Manipur Tribal Students` Union have stated that it has come to their notice that the recently held PhD entrance examination at Manipur University was fraught with discrepancies and lacked transparency.

Most ST candidates for the PhD program in Manipur University have been denied admission in the department of Chemistry, English and Life Sciences which is in direct contravention to the ST reservation norm of 31% of the University, it said, adding while they are fully aware that cut-off levels for ST/SC, OBC and General candidates may be set to ensure the quality of candidates.

However, MUTSU feels that until and unless such decisions of the Pre-PhD Admission Committee with regard to this and other relevant information for candidates are not shared either through departmental notifications or the University`s PhD prospectus, such so-called criteria for admission or selection to the PhD program are highly questionable in terms of transparency and accountability and as such open to manipulations at the wishes and whims of the members of the committee, it said.

The current practice of revealing the cut-off level and other specific criteria by the department of Chemistry, English and Life Sciences only after the announcement of the result of the PhD entrance test is and can be viewed as insidious attempts to deny tribal students the chance and opportunity to pursue higher studies in the university, it said.

In the press release, the two student bodies said they strongly questioned as to how most ST candidates failed to get the desired mark to cross the cut-off level considered the most crucial in getting selected for Pre-PhD and also questioned why some departments have no cut-off levels thereby affording tribal students an opportunity to pursue higher studies in those streams while some other departments happen to have particularly high cut-off levels and that too with no prior information on the existence of such cut-off marks. It said they were, therefore, forced to ask whether there exist a discriminatory practice that surreptitiously segregate tribal and non-tribal students with a tacit believe that some departments must be considered as avenues for the more developed and apparently advanced community which must be denied to tribal students.

Finally, MUTSU and ATSUM demands that such discrepancies must be given prompt and proper attention by the university authorities, it said, adding they demand that ST seats should be given to the highest scoring ST candidates whether they cross the cut-off marks or not. ST quotas are for the STs alone and utmost efforts should be made that they continue to stay that way failing which strenuous steps will be taken up by the students` unions, said the release co-signed by MUTSU president Thohrii and ATSUM president Muan Tombing.

This BAC report presented by the CM today is the 13th report.

The Chief Minister further said, even the United Nations (UN) find it difficult to exactly explain the meaning of the word `indigenous`™ but anyhow a suitable legislation is the need of the hour to safeguard the indigenous population of the State.

The said legislation will be framed acting on the power bestowed upon under Article No 19(5) readwith Article 19(1)(d)(e), he said.

DESAM demands rescheduling of written test for selection of research scholars in MU`s Manipuri dept

IMPHAL, March 3: The Democratic Students Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has demanded the rescheduling of the written test for the selection of Research Scholars in the Manipuri Department, Manipur University

IMPHAL, March 3: The Democratic Students Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has demanded the rescheduling of the written test for the selection of Research Scholars in the Manipuri Department, Manipur University today, terming the written test unfair.

Speaking at a press conference held today at its head office, DESAM general secretary Pukhrambam Premchandra said the Manipuri Department of MU issued a notification for the selection of 14 candidates for Pre-Phd on December 10 last year. The selection test carried 50 marks and candidates must secure at least 25 marks (50 %) to get selected as per the University norms, he added.

Exceeding the number of notified seats, a total number of 18 candidates were selected when the result was first declared on February 26, he said.

The same result was declared again on 28 February in which only 17 candidates were selected where one ST candidate was disqualified for securing only 13 marks, he added.

Among the 17 selected candidates, there were four candidates who did not secure the minimum marks to get selected as per MU norms, he said, stressing that the students body can`™t accept malpractices in selecting research scholars.

Premchandra further stated that partiality or favouritism in such kind of selection cannot be accepted as it should be conducted in a fair and genuine manner.

DESAM also appealed the concerned authority to take up strict actions against those who are found guilty, alleging that the vice-chancellor and the Registrar of Manipur University should resign from their posts on moral ground.
