Comes close to a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Even as an uproar was raised against the failure to appoint a Director of RIMS after its Director-in-charge retired on February 28, the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare went ahead and appointed an IAS officer, RK Dinesh, in this case, as the officiating Director, triggering strong protests from the senior doctors of RIMS.

How successfully has the NSCN (IM) been in taking the people of Nagaland along with their agenda ? This question may seem odd, even hollow in the face of the fact that ever since the NSCN came into being in 1980 and split into the Khaplang faction and Isak-Muivah faction in 1988, the outfit seems to have sold its idea to all the people it claims to represent.

It is that time of the year again and thousands of students are appearing for their Class XII board exams. Whether the students are appearing for the exam conducted by the Council of Higher Secondary Examination, Manipur or the one conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, should make no difference, for ultimately all the universities place equal footage on all the recognised boards/councils. The same thing goes for those appearing for the different entrance tests to professional courses.

The truth may lie somewhere in between. It was not so long back, to be more precise before Manipur went to polls to elect the 11th Assembly, that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh took pains to assure the people of Manipur that the Framework Agreement signed between the NSCN (IM) and the Government of India does not contain anything that can harm the territorial integrity of Manipur.

Now that the two phased election is over, many ‘experts’ have started emerging at all the leiraks and leikais of the localities all over the place, each working out which party or which candidate will win. Tough to say what methodology the ‘experts’ employ to reach their decision, but it is nonetheless interesting to see them holding fort, arguing and counter arguing to get their points across and such rounds of discussion have the potential to impact on the minds of the listeners.

In the din of the Assembly election, today silence hangs over the ongoing economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council since midnight of October 31 last year. This is in stark contrast to the days ahead of the election when the BJP and the Congress went hammer and tongs against each other over the blockade, with none seriously trying to resolve it.
