Pro-boxing has landed here and why not ? The venue is just right, for though Manipur has not produced internationally well known professional boxers, the young pugilists from the State have been making a name for themselves in the international circuit.

Centre chiding the State Government for failing to open National Highway-2, the route that connects the State to Dimapur and further, despite deputing a large number of security personnel. State Government telling for one and all to hear that enough pressure has not been mounted by the Centre on the United Naga Council via the NSCN (IM) to get the ongoing economic blockade lifted.

The United Naga Council (UNC) has already made its point. And it is time they act on the fact that the longer they continue with the economic blockade, the better the prospects of Chief Minister O Ibobi and his party the Congress to come back to power. Or maybe the ongoing economic blockade has already made the upcoming Assembly election a sure shot poll for the Congress and it is this which the UNC should realise. Not the first time that the Congress and Chief Minister O Ibobi have been able to make political capital out of the stubborn stand adopted by some hill based organisations.

The first tangible move so far from the side of the State Government to resolve the ongoing economic blockade. Invitation sent to the UNC for a tripartite meeting at Imphal and while no one knows how the UNC will respond to the invite, it is encouraging to note that the State Government seems to have taken the first tangible step. Another significant development is the invitation to the Chief Minister from Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to confer over the same issue.

It is now obvious to all. No one wants to resolve the ongoing economic blockade, with the Congress and the BJP more keen on delivering political points against each other and the United Naga Council more than ready to continue with the economic blockade. Caught in the middle are the public, the ones who have been directly facing the impact of the economic blockade and it is not at all pleasant.

Creation of seven new districts. The ongoing economic blockade. These two issues will undoubtedly impact on the coming Assembly election and it is a tragedy that other issues which should be there on the agenda of the people will be pushed to the sideline. No doubt the creation of the seven new districts and the ongoing economic blockade have severely impacted on the lives of the common people, but how about the other agenda ? Aren’t there other issues which too have been equally, if not more, affecting the lives of the common people ?

Prove your Nationality in your own country. Sounds ludicrous, but this is exactly what happened when a group of students from Central Agriculture University, Imphal went to see the Taj Mahal at Agra a few days back. If the issue was not so serious, this would have surely elicited guffaws from all over and this is something which people from the North East region of India have had to face for decades.

From goods laden trucks to passenger vehicles. This is how the ongoing economic blockade has morphed. So from targeting goods laden trucks it turned to passenger vehicles, particularly in the counter-economic blockade imposed at different sections of the valley area and it exploded in all its ugliness on December 18 last year when a good number of passenger vehicles were set ablaze along the Imphal-Ukhrul road and the belongings of many passengers were burnt and destroyed. The seeds of the December 18 incident were sown a long time back when the United Naga Council began the indefinite economic blockade from midnight of October 31. And before the ugly incident of December 18, there were incidents of vehicles being targeted at Khumbong in the valley area in the course of the counter economic blockade. The indefinite economic blockade from midnight of October 31 gave way to the December 18 incident and in a clear case of tit for tat, another passenger bus which used to ply between Imphal and Senapati district headquarters was torched at Taphou Naga village by suspected blockade supporters.

The only thing certain in life is death and in as much as death is a certainty, it is uncertain when death will come knocking at one’s door. Professor Gangmumei Kamei is no more. And while the late Professor was not in the best of health lately, the news of his death must have caught quite a lot of people by surprise. But life goes on and while The Sangai Express is certainly not an expert on the late man or competent enough to dwell on his life and work, this commentary may be taken as a simple act of doffing our hat to a well known personality. To many he was Oja. It was with a sense of reverence and respect that this term was used while referring to the late Professor and it will continue to be.

Passing the buck.
