BJP ridicules Con govt`s claim of 2014 as an achievement year

IMPHAL, December 31: The State government declaring 2014 as a year of achievement for the government is deliberate deception played on the people of Manipur alleged M Asnikumar General Secretary

IMPHAL, December 31: The State government declaring 2014 as a year of achievement for the government is deliberate deception played on the people of Manipur alleged M Asnikumar General Secretary Administration BJP Manipur Pradesh.

In an interaction with media persons this afternoon at his office chamber, Asnikumar said the State government rather than achieving anything, had done nothing commendable for the State.

He further said the Ibobi-led Congress government failed miserably in implementing many Central government programmes. These include food security act which was pledged to the public that it would be implemented within 2013 by Chief Minister Ibobi.

The government has not even complete constructing the Sanjenthong bridge even now, though the government pledged its completion before the commencement of the Sangai Festival 2014.

He also pointed out the irregularities in the recruitment of SI, ASI, charging many of them were found selected with fake certificate. The letters of the selected candidates are denied to this day because of this, he alleged.

He also said the recruitment result of round 2000 constables is pending till today. How can all this be termed as achievements of the State government, he asked.

He also charged that there is a complete breakdown of ht e PDS system and essential items continue to fail to reach the nooks and corners of the State.

He said the State government has not contributed the norms of 10 percent State share in the NGNREGS implemented in State and till today Job card holders haven`t been rewarded the promised 100 days works.

He said torture has become the norm of the security forces, hiding behind the AFSPA in all the 13 years of rule by Congress. In all there have been, 1600 fake encounter cases by the Central paramilitary forces and State forces, and all this will be unveiled very soon, he added.

The people are still exposed to blockades and bandhs on National Highway, there is still wide disparity in development between different districts of the State.

He also charged that the hills continue to be out of control of the State government and this was demonstrated by the repeated cancellation of official visit of the Deputy Chief Minister and other State cabinet ministers to Senapati district, under the pressured of NSCN-IM.

Instead, the State force are engaged in assaulting unarmed students, agitating for the implementation of ILP in the State. Now the nightmare of the discovery of human skulls and skeletons at Tombisana High school campus is unfolding, he said.

In this case too, the decision of State government to hand over investigation to the CBI is not a stand of the government but done under duress of pressure from the Manipur public, he claimed.

Finally he said the State government is still unable to declare assets of Ministers and MLAs but the real asset of 60 MLAs are and open secret with the people.

Asnikumar in his turn, wished a prosperous New Year 2015 to the people of the State and pleaded with them to discard the Congress and be on the side of the ruling NDA at the Centre. He also prayed for peaceful co-existence among the ethnic communities of the State.

IMPHAL, December 31: The State government has totally failed in maintaining law and order. It is giving more hardship to the people without any welfare measure seriously taken up.

Moirangthem Tombi, president of Janata Dal (U) expressed the above statement taking jibes on the State government of Manipur. He was speaking to the media this afternoon at the party`™s office at Babupara Imphal.

He recalled the incident of Heirangoithong, RIMS massacre, Malom massacre and extolled the indomitable spirit of Irom Sharmila in her struggle against the black law.

He demanded that the case of recent discovery of skulls and bones from the premises of Tombisana School should be handed over to the CBI at the earliest. He said the people of the State want swift action on the part of the government regarding the case, not just verbal assurance.

Tombi also demanded that the government should give explanation over their failure of the intelligence department in collecting information in sensitive cases of bomb blast that have rocked the State repeatedly. He alleged that so far no substantial arrests have been made in connection with the blasts.

He also sought clarification from the department concerned of the government for still installing the defunct CCTV cameras in the Imphal areas. He said the CCTV cameras are not decoration objects to beautify the city. Some of the street lamps which were well lit during Sangai Festival have also been switched off, he lamented.

The JD (U) president also came down heavily on the failure of the government in controlling drug menace in the State.

He alleged that Imphal Post Office has become one of the safest routes for transacting huge consignments of banned drugs. The government has been a silent spectator of this menace, he said before alleging that till today, not a single person has been punished among those who were caught with huge consignments of drugs worth crores of money in the past.

Len Gangte, secretary general of JD (U) who was also present during the media interaction conveyed warm wishes for the New Year 2015.

IMPHAL, December 31: Manipur Police in close coordination with other Security Forces deployed in the State, maintained law and order, besides prevention and detection of crime during 2014. According to

IMPHAL, December 31: Manipur Police in close coordination with other Security Forces deployed in the State, maintained law and order, besides prevention and detection of crime during 2014.

According to a release of the PRO, Manipur police, the police has been striving to bring normalcy in the state by way of dialogue/negotiation with the misguided youth of the state.

Due to coordinated effort of Police and SFs, 1(one) valley based extremist group, viz., KCP (K K Nganba) group signed MoU with Government of Manipur during 2014, the release said. In all 37 cadres along with 31 arms attended the `Home Coming` ceremony.

Further, 19 cadres along with 17 arms of KCP (Nongdrenkhomba) group, which had already signed the MoU in 2013 also joined the ceremony during the year. In addition, due to the concerted effort of Manipur Police and SFs, 98 insurgents surrendered to the State Government at individual level along with arms/ammunition during 2014, it said.

The subversive activities of UG groups, both hill and valley based, were under check. However, sporadic violent incidents involving misguided youth resulted in loss of life and damage to property.

Manipur Police on its own and in joint operations with Security Forces achieved commendable success in containing the movement and activities of insurgents. Main achievements during 2014 are arrest of 670 insurgents, 9 insurgents killed in encounters, 108 numbers of arms seized (1890 numbers of ammunition seized, 106-hand grenades, 141 detonators recovered/seized, 10 IEDs recovered, 32 numbers of explosive sticks seized and 46 number of gelatine pieces recovered/seized, 5.4 kg of explosive material seized and a total of Rs. 6, 24, 915/- recovered/seized from insurgents, it said.

The Manipur Police also achieved success in checking the menace of drugs by way of pro-active enforcement work. The concerted efforts resulted in seizure of large quantities of contraband drugs are 1.400 kg of heroin, 3033 kg of ganja, 71 kg of opium, 2.4 kg of brown sugar, 13,31,889 SP capsules, 58, 674 N-10 Tablets, 2378 bottles of 100ml cough syrup, 4.6 kg and 950 tablets of pseudoephedrine, 8841 tablets of Amphetamine tablets and 636.8 acres of land with illicit poppy cultivation destroyed in hills and valley districts of the state, it said.

During 2014, Manipur police also destroyed seized drugs under Section 52A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985, after obtaining prior permission from the concerned Court. In June, 5445.927 kg of ganja seized in connection with 32 FIR cases were destroyed by burning.

Again, in November, 390688 strips, 219976 nos. & 44.017 kg of Ephedrine /Pseudoephedrine tablets, 3298 strips & 226787 numbers of SP capsules and 12800 strips of N-10 tablets and 5.557 kg of heroin seized in connection with 25 FIR cases were destroyed by burning, based on Court orders. The pre-trial disposal of drugs was done as per procedure prescribed by law.

In the coming year, Manipur Police plans to modernise its functioning by initiating cyber crime investigation, enhance mobility of the force, better communication system, upgrading the striking capability with induction of sophisticated weapons, increasing the office space and housing satisfaction level of lower subordinates, procuring security gadgets, to professionalise its working.

Efforts are also on to upgrade the knowledge and skills of all field operatives especially the armed police by putting them through Refresher Training Courses both within and outside the State.

Manipur Police appeals to the members of public for their continued support and cooperation to enable it fulfill its mandate in maintaining peace and tranquility in the society, besides timely detection and prosecution of offenders.

Towards a Meaningful Changeover

Leaders of some of the political parties, at the beginning of a new year, have shared their reflection on 2014. It is not surprising that the ruling party paints a

Leaders of some of the political parties, at the beginning of a new year, have shared their reflection on 2014. It is not surprising that the ruling party paints a rosy picture of the year gone by. Congress leader Gaikhangam claimed that the government saw more achievements than failures in 2014, even calling it a year of success. While the party regaining its lost ground of Hiyanglam Assembly Constituency in the bye-poll held in 2014 is certainly a laudable achievement, one uncomfortable truth that hovers at the background, which the Congress party would love to bury, is the imbroglio within the party that surfaced publicly mid-year. In spite of reaping a thumping majority in the last Assembly election, the party could not rest on its laurel because of ministerial berth demand raised by a section of the MLAs. A major chunk of MSCP MLAs merging into the party had added another dimension to the state of affair. The leadership of the party deserves accolades for its skilful handling of the crisis.

On another note, we beg to differ with the Congress leader`™s opinion that law and order has improved considerably in the state in 2014. The series of bomb blasts that have taken place in high security areas like MG Avenue, Singjamei Chinga Makha, Hatta, Khuyathong to mention a few, and most recently the blast at Uripok are testimony against the statement notwithstanding the decrease in the number of encounter cases between the police and the militant. This trend of decreasing encounters is welcome, but that solely cannot be the benchmark for law and order maintenance when the authorities have failed in thwarting bomb blast occurring right in the heart of the capital where security personnel are deployed round the clock. The alarming rise in gender related crimes in the state as rightly pointed out by the CPI leader Dr M Nara in his interaction with the media is one abhorrent truth that all stake holders have to deal with. In the coming year, it is our earnest wish to see meaningful interventions and initiatives to prevent gender crimes. No stones should be left unturned in mitigating such horrendous crimes.

This is not to dampen the spirit of `Yaipha Paojel`™ that we generally exchange with the arrival of another new year. But, we foresee some of the perennial glitches that we face daily getting worse. For instance the Imphal traffic, or, for that matter, the road congestion in most parts of the state is not getting solved any soon. A cursory glance of road accident deaths that were reported during 2014 will elucidate how precarious the problem of traffic congestion has become. The government has taken up road widening works in different areas. But this will be of little help unless the authorities regulate the exponential growth of vehicles and take exemplary actions against traffic rule violators. At the same time the pollution level is also bound to increase in the coming year. Decades-old heavy vehicles are still seen plying today on the roads emitting carcinogenic fumes in lethal doses. We are neither hopeful of the Pollution Control Board coming out from its hibernation any sooner. Water scarcity is another issue that crops up every year whenever there is scanty rainfall. Sadly this has remained unresolved. The list will get longer if we scratch deeper beneath the innocuous wish of New Year. A meaningful change towards a better future is what we wish for every year, which remains, sadly an allusive wish.

IMPHAL, December 31: The year 2014 recorded the highest crime specially against women, said Women Action Development general secretary M Sobita Devi in a press meet at Manipur Press Club

IMPHAL, December 31: The year 2014 recorded the highest crime specially against women, said Women Action Development general secretary M Sobita Devi in a press meet at Manipur Press Club today.

Sobita also said in this year a total of 84 missing cases, among them women and children, were reported to police, however police has not taken any action.

She also said that Manipur police personnel have time and again proven incapable of investigation into crimes, therefore the need of the hour is proper training as well as infrastructure for the police department.

She also highlighted incidents of bomb blasts and injuries, as per her organisation`™s documentation from newspapers this year stands at 210 bombs was planted, and 85 bombs explosions.

The highest number of bomb blasts was in Imphal West District with a total of 76 blasts, and the lowest was at Senapati District with total of two, while in Imphal East saw 36 bomb blasts, Bishnupur 26, Tamenglong 11, Chandel 10, Thoubal 23, Churachanpur 10 and Ukhrul 16. In all 26 bomb cases were claimed by their perpetrators and 184 bomb remains unclaimed.

She also said that the 210 bomb cases included 80 IED, 116 hand grenades, 11 lathod bombs, 2 Chinese hand grenades and 1 RDX.

In all 102 persons were injured by in these bomb blasts and they include 24 security personnel and 78 civilians. Seven security men were killed and 10 civilian including 2 women and one child also died.

Sobita also asked how all these bombs could have been planted amidst tight the security cordons and CCTV vigilance. It shows that the government is not functioning proper, she added.

She also accused the DGP, Home Secretary, Principal Secretary and other top government functionaries are simply holding their posts rather than striving to fulfil their responsibilities. They should already resigned from their posts on moral ground, if they were honourable men, she added.

She also expressed her shock at the discovery of eight skulls inside the Tombisana High School complex, and urged foreign expert be employed to find out how this came to be.
