KANGPOKPI, June 9: For the past month, Sadar Hills has witnessed the slaying of more than hundreds of dogs despite the anti-rabies vaccination programs being held at various places within the areas under the initiatives of the Deputy Director, Vety Sub-Divisional Kangpokpi to avert casualty due to rabies.

While, the Vety Department has suggested “Anti-Rabies Vaccination”, the option chosen by the general public of Sadar Hills as the best precautionary measure and method to avert casualties due to dog bites has become the act of slaying dogs.

A resident of Motbung on conditions of anonymity to disclose his identity told this correspondent, “Though I love my domestic pet and want to save it, I have no other option other than killing it since rabies infection is  dangerous not only for one individual but the society as a whole”.

Another resident added, “When death cases have been witnessed due to dog bites, we have no confidence in the vaccine”.

“The best thing is to kill them,” he pointed out.

Mention may be made that after the death of a school going student at Motbung, the Village Authority as well as the youth clubs ordered for the dog owners in the vicinity to kill their dogs within a short period of time.

The order also said that, a sum of Rs.5,000/- as fine will be imposed on anyone who does not comply with the order.

The order further said it would impose a fine of Rs. 2 lakh to the dog owner, in case their pet animal bites anyone while a sum of Rs.10 lakh would be imposed as fine or compensation in case a person dies due to the pet.

Recently, just after the vaccination of anti-rabies was conducted at Kangpokpi, the town committee informed and ordered all dog owners to slay their dogs in the town.

In case any unwanted incident has been caused by the pet animal the concerned owner will bear all responsibilities, said the town committee order.

The order for slaying the domestic pet has also been witnessed at Keithelmanbi areas, Tujang areas, Sapormeina areas, Kalapahar areas as well as Changoubung, Mayangkhang and even Taphou Kuki village and its neighbouring villages.

More than 200 dogs has been slayed in Motbung alone while more than a 100 has been killed so far in Kangpokpi and is still going on.

For the past one month, dog meat has been available everywhere within Sadar Hills at a very cheap price.

The post Shift roadside parking to provide space to street vendors appeared first on  KanglaOnline.com.

IMPHAL, June 9: Vehicles should not be allowed to park along the bazaar area roads and instead the spaces should be provided to the street vendors to sell their wares, said L Binoy Singh, president Senior Citizen for Society, Manipur during a discussion on “Problems and Prospects of Street Vendors” held at the Shri Shri Radha Govindaji Mandop, Uripok Tourangbam Liekai today.

He pointed out that the street vendors are not allowed to sit on the side of the street in the bazaar areas whereas the vehicles are allowed to park.

In other parts of the country, the street vendors are not ill-treated like in Manipur, he lamented before adding that the vehicle parking area should be shifted to a more appropriate area outside the bazaar area and free the some space for the street vendors.

The street vendors are facing lots of problems from the police who chase them away like animals and confiscate and destroy their products, he continued.

He said the issue of street vendors should be discussed during the upcoming Assembly session.

KT Rahaman, president, All Manipur United Clubs Organization (AMUCO) alleged that the police collect money from the street vendors for allowing them to sell their products.

He appealed to the street vendors to note the names of such police personnel who illegally collect money and then complain about them to the concern officers to take action.

He said such police action of collecting money from the poor street vendors and providing them with space is an offence punishable under the law.

He further said the street vendors have helped in the development of the state and participated in all the social issues.

The end of the discussion recommended to discuss the issues of the street vendors; to call for the provision of social security; to issue the identity card for the vendors by the Imphal Municipal Council and to urge for street vendors to be provided space at the top of the three markets.

The post MPP suggest dialogue between govt & JCILPS appeared first on  KanglaOnline.com.

IMPHAL, June 9: Balancing demography in a state is the responsibility of the state government so as to maintain social order without which social disorder is bound to occur, said a press release issued today by the Manipur Peoples’ Party.

The ongoing ILP movement by the civil society attempting to maintain the demographic balance of the state by restoring Inner Line Permit system which was previously imposed in Manipur has alerted the law makers thereby passing a resolution to put into operation ILP again in the state of Manipur and consequent forwarding of it to Central government for necessary legal process, it reminded.

The press release termed CM O Ibobi Singh irresponsible for inviting CSO to go together to Delhi for meeting PM and Home minister so as to have a dialogue on this issue while it further demanded that CM should take responsibility instead of assigning responsibility to JCILPS and students organisations.

In the meantime, Communist Party of India (Marxist Leninist) CPI (ML) has also issued today a press release on this crucial issue of ILP which has attracted time and energy of the masses that the outsiders will soon outnumber the indigenous population thereby destroying economy, culture and religion of the land. In view of it, the Manipur Legislative Assembly had passed a private member resolution on July 13, 2012 but Manipur government is demonstrating their tyranny by way of verbal threat and bullying those leaders who are accelerating ILP movement in support of the July 13 Manipur Assembly resolution. Such irresponsible action will bring no solution but it only invites an adverse course of action.
