Centering around Framework Agreement Not the final pact : Ravi

Not that it ever went out of the consciousness of the public. But the manner in which the Framework Agreement signed between the NSCN (IM) and the Government of India back on August 3, 2015, has suddenly come to the centre stage is too significant to miss. And in many ways this means that the […]

Not conducive for polls now stand Need to go beyond this

Defeating administrative convenience Haokholet delivers a point

Administrative convenience. This is the line that Chief Minister O Ibobi and the Congress have been parroting to justify the creation of the seven new districts. The Sangai Express has no arguments with this for ultimately administrative convenience should underline all reasons for creating new districts. The BJP too knows this and this is the […]

Reopening the BT Road killing ‘Murder in plain sight’

Re-open and re-investigate the July 23, 2009 BT Road killing. Summon the then Additional SP in connection with the case and suddenly the Centre or rather the CBI seems to have taken cognizance of the version spelt out by suspended Head Constable Th Herojit. It may be a coincidence but the timing is just too […]

Banning UNC not the answer Half baked measures
