Some police personnel are really thoughtless. They think the crime committed by them will never be detected. The action of the police personnel, as they loot innocent people, reflects the deteriorating moral status of the security personnel. How did they become security men? This question can be put. Perhaps they have been misled by a wrong concept that if there is opportunity common masses could be threatened and their belongings snatched. But policemen are not aliens, they are part and parcel of the society. The wrong doers must face punishment so that the others may be desisted from committing the crime. Such news of police personnel looting innocent people’s money is really disturbing. It creates fear psychosis in the minds of helpless people. When all have remained indoors in the night the persons we will find on the road are uniform men only. Amazingly when they should have acted as protector they acted as tormentor. Police personnel involved in the crime could be grilled and from their admission one will be able to know what prompted them to commit the crime. A disease has inflicted the mind of men in uniform. Attempts need to be made to cure them. Unless that is done people’s outlook towards men in uniform will be like the simple villagers looking Gabbar Singh in the most successful Indian film Sholay. We must have laws to deal effectively with such kind of crime committed by security personnel. Manipur had seen in the past the crime of similar nature. But the perpetrators of the crime were not punished. Consequently the youngsters in the garb of kahki are tempted to imitate all that been done by their seniors. It is quite natural a person feels little bit of awkward when they see gun totting khaki clad personnel. They show nervousness when they are quizzed by such personnel. But one should not assume that all those, who tremble on seeing security personnel, are all wrong doers. Taking the advantage of the timid nature of common people some security poked fun asking them to leap like frogs. When they refused to obey their order they were beaten. Investigation into the extra judicial killings happening here and there, every now and then must attempt to grasp whether the victim was finished to end the clues if any other than the victim’s involvement in extremism. Police can arrest anybody on the slightest suspicion of involvement in a crime. But they cannot be punished on the street. Public discontentment is on the rise. Manipur police needs to do self introspection to improve its image. Police personnel must also hear the voice of the common masses. Someone should be able to say to which direction Manipur police should go. A state like Manipur, which has seen eruption of deadly crimes in the past two or three decades needs to have powerful police organisation, nobody will challenge that. But this however does not mean that the men in uniform should be given liberty to harass innocent common men. Extremes can lock in physical duel. That too at the places far away from where innocent common people are living. Spare innocent people.

DIMAPUR, Dec 16: The tempo of Christmas festivity is rising in Nagaland and so is the tension owing to the Naga underground factional clashes.
Two cadres of the NSCN-K have been killed by the rival NSCN-Khole/Kitovi this morning at Nitoi village under Nagaland’s Kiphire district.
Reports said while the cadres of NSCN-K were camping at Nitoi village, the rival cadres surrounded the village and started attacking resulting in the dead of two NSCN-K cadres. The incident happened at around 5 am.

TAMENGLONG, Dec 16: Volunteers of All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur (ANSAM) and Zeliangrong Youth Front (ZYF) today marched along the Tamenglong streets carrying the effigy of chief minister O Ibobi Singh as part of its move to boycott the State Level Orange Festival to be held on December 17 and 18.
However, it was not known whether the effigy was set on fire or not.
“Nagas are not against the spirit of festival which promotes reconciliation and harmony and goodwill among the people. But when the government of Manipur sponsored festivals are used as platforms to dilute and negate the very political position of the Nagas and undermine our rights, we have no other option but to boycott it,” the ANSAM and ZYF said today in Tamenglong through a joint press communique.
“The reason why we are here today is to clearly deliver the message that State sponsored festival such as the Orange Festival seeks to present the fallacious picture of a responsible State Government promoting horticulture and social harmony in the state. When in reality it has consistently deprived the Naga people of real development benefits through diversion and corruption and created irreparable rifts between the communities through its communal policies and actions,” the ANSAM and the ZYF communique added.
“The proven mission of Mr. Ibobi, the other ministers of government of Manipur and MLAs of the ruling Government and also the unmandated ADCs has been to oppose the demand for an alternative arrangement for the Nagas in Manipur pending settlement of the Indo-Naga issue and for derailing the much awaited settlement of the Indo-Naga issue through their machination,” it alleged.
ANSAM and ZYF then appealed to all Nagas to stay away from the Orange Festival scheduled to be held here at Tamenglong “so that the political position of severance of ties with the government is maintained in pursuance of our inherent and democratic aspirations”.
