Six years is a long time, a very long time. And this is more so when it comes to the question of not constructing the needed shelter or shed for the people who have been evacuated or moved to a different site. It was with the noble objective of providing parking space to passenger vehicles that the market shed at Nagamapal was dismantled sometime in 2011 and the vendors were told to move to Lamphel.

Armed groups making it to the news is an accepted thing. Not taking names, but so many armed groups are in the news on a regular basis, whether it is a statement issued by them, whether it is about an arrest or two, whether it is a rebuttal to the claims made by the police or the Assam Rifles or the army, when there is an ambush or a clash between the armed groups and the security personnel or when it is about any talk process or agreement inked between the armed group in question and the Government.

From 11 am till 11.50 pm and this is a clear reflection of a strong Opposition at work. Perhaps this was the first time that the Assembly session stretched on for 12 hours on August 1, throw in the one hour of lunch break, and this underlines the point that the Opposition is not ready to give the long rope to the ruling BJP and its partners in Government. This is what Manipur needs.

Meeyamgi Numit on the 15th of every month. Hill Leaders’ Day on the 10th of every month. Top this off with the announcement of State BJP vice president M Asnikumar that BJP leaders will visit will Assembly Constituencies of the State regularly for booth level interaction programmes and clearly the BJP is intent on not resting on the feat of having managed to clobber up a coalition Government here but is intent on reaching out to every section of the people.

So far five people dead after consuming illicit local made liquor. The death toll may increase as there are still a good number of people undergoing treatment at different hospitals in Imphal. This is where some hard talk is perhaps needed.

In the last few years, Churachandpur district has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. If ten years down the line, 2015 is remembered it will most probably be for the huge uproar in the district after the State Assembly passed the three contentious Bills on August 31 and nine people were killed. The bodies of eight of the nine killed were claimed only this year, that is nearly two years later and after the BJP led Government came to power in Imphal.

The proverbial long arm of the law catching up. Crime committed back in 1997 and the accused convicted in 2017 and sentenced to two years rigorous imprisonment and herein lies the profundity of the ‘long arm of the law’ phrase.

Promoting people to people contact via trade and commerce. No losers here for this is to the benefit of all, particularly to the State and it is with this spirit that the observance of the 1st Mao Market Day was held on July 25 in front of Pukhri Achouba at Khoyathong. Correction, the very site where the Mao market stands, albeit as a temporary measure.

Abrogate SoO pact. Powerful statement indeed and coming from no one less than the Chief Minister himself it should be clear that this may be more than just a threat to the SoO outfits to rein in their errant cadres. That the announcement of the Chief Minister came just a day after a KNA cadre shot dead a school going girl at Moreh makes the announcement all that more significant.

The stand of AMUCO has always been consistent. That is no force on earth should try to compromise with the territorial integrity of the land. What makes this stand more significant this time is the timing. No one knows what the Framework Agreement entails but everyone has been given to understand that the ongoing political dialogue between the NSCN (IM) and the Government of India is at its final leg.

What were the main features or rather the gist of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Churachand- pur JAC and the State Government that brought to an end the stand off that festered from September 2015 till the signing of the MoU on May 10, 2017, after the BJP led Government came to power.

Focus should be on those who gave the orders to kill, in addition to those personnel who were just following those instructions. Nobody would fault Executive Director of Human Rights Alert, Babloo Loitongbam for airing this line of thought more particularly in the aftermath of the explosive confession of former Head Constable of the Manipur Police Commando, Th Herojit that he killed Ch Sanjit in cold blood on the instruction of his officer on July 23, 2009 inside a pharmacy at BT Road.

The decision to create the seven new districts cannot be rolled back. This was Chief Minister N Biren a few days back. A party engaged in the tripartite talks is intentionally trying to sabotage the ongoing dialogue on the district creation issue.
