Putting the limelight on O Ibobi : Not out of the news at all

It is obvious that former Chief Minister O Ibobi will not be out of the news. And why not. Not only is Ibobi the longest serving Chief Minister of the State, being in the chair of the CM for 15 years on the trot, he will also go down as a man or a political […]

High promises, high expectations : BJP Govt up to it ?

High on promises. Obviously this means that the expectations of the people will also be high. It however remains to be seen how much distance the Government will walk to meet the expectations of the people.

Away from Imphal centric mindset : Govt-Hills Bhai Bhai !

Moving away from the Imphal centric approach. Best exemplified by the Cabinet meeting held at Churachandpur some time back. Announcing that the Shirui Lily Festival will be upgraded to the level of the Sangai Festival. The attention focused on the Barak Festival held at Senapati not so long after the Shirui Lily Festival.

Seven years is a long, long time : Civil Sectt crawling at snail pace

Trafficking story from CCpur : Preying on young kids

Human trafficking. This is unacceptable and the possibility of the involvement of big names cannot be ruled out. Poverty plus the yearning to ensure a better future for one’s child is the underlining factor for parents to willingly hand over their children, mostly young girls, to people who then traffick them to other parts of […]

Where are the Ojas in teachers ? Failing to attract best talent

September 5. The focus was on teachers across the country and while Manipur also joined the rest of the country in celebrating Teachers’ Day as a mark of respect to Dr S Radhakrishnan, one need to really think where teachers, as understood universally, stand in today’s Manipur society. And it is here that some hard, […]

Not the issue but the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) and so it was that while the JCILPS went into a lull for some time it was the Kangleipak Students’ Association (KSA), which took it upon themselves to demand that all non-local people be barred from contesting […]

Catching up with former CM, former CSs : Naming the big fishes

Making people live in dirt, filth : The rot at Lamphel

The filth, the dirt, the piling garbage near the Lamphel supermarket can easily be linked to the pathetic failure of the Government to provide the needed market shed to the vendors who were displaced from Nagamapal sometime in 2011 and were told to go to Lamphel. Insensitivity is written all over the conduct of the […]

Reserve ACs for indigenous folks call : Real threat perception

Regulate or check the inflow of non-local people into the State. Bar non-locals from contesting elections in Assembly segments which have been identified as vulnerable.
