More than apparent that the ongoing economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council is more than just an economic blockade and it has veered dangerously close to a hostile confrontation between communities, this time between the Nagas and the Meiteis. And let it be very clear to all that any confrontation between communities will benefit those who are deadly against the existence of a socio-political reality called Manipur.

Global tuberculosis control is facing major challenges today. In general, much effort is still required to make quality care accessible without barriers of gender, age, type of disease, social setting, and ability to pay.

A trip to Indira Point: Down memory lane, 37 years back

Contd from previous issue
It was 7 AM sharp, Wednesday the 25th April 1979, the D-Day, when we started trekking. After walking for a while on the trunk road, we took a shortcut; this would save us five miles of walk, my guides assured. Sweating and panting, after half an hour’s climb through a steep, narrow and rugged path, we again touched the blacktopped road. Another two hours walk brought us before a board put up by Project Yatrik which warned, “STOP. CROCS CROSSING. CROCS BURROW”. It was the end of the 40.700-km-long North-South Trunk-road. We were at Galathea river basin.
