Happy New Year

One year ends and another comes. We hope the best comes to all of us every coming year and we have best wishes for all. This new year is special, a new government will come and 2012 is a mysterious year for our planet debated by scholars and scientists . Some predict the world will come to an end on 20 , 21 Dec 2012 which was made popular by a Hollywood movie. During the last few years we have seen intense arguments and analysis on the issue. One thing is similar the Hindu believe in four Yugas, Meitei believe in different Chak while the Mayan civilization believed in four different phases . All have the same theory , we are in the fourth phase. As per Mayan count the previous creation ended on a long count of 12.19.19.17.19. Another 12.19.19.17.19 will occur on December 20, 2012, followed by the start of the 14th b’ak’tun, 13.0.0.0.0, on December 21, 2012. Maya created the “Long Count” calendar, a departure from the shorter calendars. The Long Count is a numerically predictable calendar, not based on archaic measures of time. Now, purely as a consequence of the Long Count’s numerical value, many Mayan scholars agree that the calendar will “run out” after 5,126 years . The Mayans set this calendar to begin in the year 3114 B.C. ( Gregorian calendar). If the Long Count began in 3114 B.C. and it’s calculated to continue for 5126 years, the “end date” will be 2012 A.D. Further refinement sets the date to Dec. 21, the day of the winter solstice for the Northern Hemisphere. As per the Cheitharol Kumbaba which records the deeds of Ningthouja kings from 33 AD the fourth phase or Yug began in 3136 BC. Hundreds of ancient Meitei texts are not yet translated into modern Manipuri language and only a few books like Cheitharol Kumbaba, Ningthourol Lambuba, Numit Kappa, Naothingkhong Phambal Kappa were translated into modern Manipuri . Translation works were done during British and the short regime of Manipur Kings. After 1949 works related to our history were stopped and there is a complete gap of few decades. Coming back to 2012, let us leave destiny into the hands of the Almighty and let us start working thinking there is no tomorrow. We have to do the best thinking there is no future and there is no need to save or extort money for our loves ones or ourselves. Greed, distrust, dishonesty, bad governance should be shunted and once we discard greed and corrupt practices we can only expect a good future for all .

IMPHAL, Dec 31: The proscribed People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak, PREPAK has greeted the people of Manipur on the coming of a new year.

Extending its wish to the people of Manipur, a PREPAK statement has said that the different communities settled in Manipur from time immemorial are one and asked every community to strengthen the bond of friendship and togetherness with the dawn of a new year.

While expressing concern over frequent incident of crimes of heinous nature which have severely affected day to day live of the people of Manipur which have given a bad image of Manipuri society to the outside world, the PREPAK alleged that this is a result of Manipur’s coexistence with India for the past 62 years.

A clean and developed Manipuri society could be brought once Indian rule in the state is finished and the people of Manipur have their own administration, the PREPAK said and maintain that this could be achieved when people join revolutionary movement and collectively defeat colonial rule in Manipur by India. 

With the coming of a new year, the PREPAK also appealed the people to stand firmly for revolutionary struggle to free Manipur from the yoke of Indian imperialism.

Timely allocation of annual budget and 12th five year plan likely to be affected by ensuing election

IMPHAL, December 31: Timely allocation of the 12th Five Year Plan as well as the annual plan budget for the state for the financial year 2012-13 are likely to be delayed as the entire state administration is presently concentrating on the successful conduct of the 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly election which is scheduled on January 28, 2012.

Recently, the state government had already taken up initiatives through the state planning department for submission of draft proposals for the 12th Five Years Plan for the state and state annual plan budget for the financial year 2012-13 by conducting a series of high level meetings attended by all heads of government departments.

Moreover, a two day workshop was also convened at the State Academy of Training, Takyelpat chaired by special secretary planning, Dr. Sajjad Hassan with an objective to accelerate preparations of the draft proposals for the 12th Five Years Plan and state annual plan budget.

During the workshop, Dr. Sajjad Hassan had directed all the head of departments of the state to submit their draft plan documents for the Annual Plan 2012-13 and the draft proposals for state’s 12th Five Years Plan (2012-17) for the state of Manipur to the department by December 2011.

In the meantime, the objective of the timely submission of the draft Annual Plan 2012-13 for the state and the draft proposal for the state’s 12th Five Years Plan (2012-17) as suggested by the Planning Commission of India has already been disturbed with the sudden announcement of the election schedule as many of the state employees of various departments are engaged in the preparation for the smooth conduct of the 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly.

The officials of the state planning department observed that finalization of the state Annual Plan 2012-13 and the draft proposals for state’s 12th Five Years Plan (2012-17) for the state of Manipur are likely to be delayed till the entire election proceedings in the state are completed and a new government in the state is formed.
