Bandh ends, economic blockade threatened

IMPHAL, Feb 21(NNN): Alleging that Manipur government has failed to initiate any action despite the economic blockade on the national highways, the five-day economic blockade sponsoring joint action committee today

IMPHAL, Feb 21(NNN): Alleging that Manipur government has failed to initiate any action despite the economic blockade on the national highways, the five-day economic blockade sponsoring joint action committee today threatened to intensify their agitation.

The JAC formed in connection with January 28 incident in which troops of the Assam Rifles had killed two persons including a chief functionary of the KNF, a militant group under suspension of operation with government and a civilian driver has been imposing a five-day economic blockade on the national highways in Manipur since last Wednesday.

Owing to the blockade normal movement of goods ferry vehicles on the two main national highways (NH-2 and NH-37) has been disturbing for the fourth consecutive day. The blockade was due to end by midnight of Sunday.

Alleging that the state government was remaining silent even as economic blockade was imposed on the national highways, the agitating JAC today threatened they will be compelled to impose a statewide bandh in the state.

Addressing a press conference here today, convener of the JAC Thangmilen Haokip alleged that the state government was not initiating any action to fulfill its demands which include among others provision of a report of the magisterial enquiry being conducted by the state government.

If the government continued to unheed to the demands, the JAC will be compelled to resort to an intensified form of agitation, he said, hinting that a statewide bandh might be their next course of agitation.

On the other hand, the indefinite bandh imposed on the Imphal-Moreh section of the NH-102 by the Tribal Blind Association Chandel was suspended temporarily following an assurance from the circle MLA ST Nunghlung Victor this afternoon.

The MLA gave his assurance during a meeting with the representatives of the agitating association led by its secretary K Pareng Kom today at Pallel police station of Chandel district.

The MLA reportedly gave his assurance to air the plights of the association to the chief minister. He further convinced the agitating group that he would arrange a meeting between representatives and chief minister on or before the upcoming Assembly session.

After the meeting Pareng Kom said that the association decided to lift the indefinite bandh for the time being respective the assurance given by the MLA.

However, he added that the bandh will be resumed if the MLA failed to provide a written assurance from the chief minister regarding the proposed meeting with the representatives of the association by this evening.

The Tribal Blind Association, Chandel was imposing the indefinite bandh in Chandel district, affecting particularly on the NH-102 and Pallel to Chandel district headquarters with effect from Friday demanding conversion of now privately run Mission Blind School Heikakpokpi into a full-fledged government school and provision of grand-in-aids to the school.

The schools in agreeing to admit students in Class 1 by lottery has settled the issue, he added.

As a Catholic, MLA Shyamkumar said, he appreciated the students`™ organisations and the authorities of Catholic schools for agreeing on the proposal for lottery. Now, the misunderstanding between students`™ organisations and Catholic schools has been cleared, he added.

Though, Catholic schools play an important role in shaping the future of students in Manipur therefore the attention it receives, he said.

In the lottery held today, 300 students were selected for admission in Little Flowers School, he said.

He further expressed his desire for the transformation of existing government schools in Imphal area to come to be at a par with Catholic schools. He also appealed to the government to focus on quality education in the State.

Selected five or six government schools must hire the best teachers from different government schools and these schools must be equipped with proper infrastructure so that they can compete with Catholic schools, he added.

He also said that he would help in making the schools better like he has done to the government schools in Andro A/C. The students must get all their deserved facilities, he added.

Editors Guild Manipur to boycott CM, ministers and ruling MLAs

IMPHAL, February 21: The Editors`™ Guild Manipur has said in a release that with regret it is compelled to announce the boycott of the Chief Minister of Manipur, his Council of Ministers and all ruling MLAs.

The step was taken following the passing of the deadline February 20 the guild set after a series of meeting of the EGM which had patiently waited for the Chief Minister to fulfil assurances given by him on charter of demands of the EGM, it further said.

The EGM had among others demanded the removal of Th Syamo, APO (Press), DIPR for verbally assaulting and physically threatening the president of EGM A Mobi when he visited his office along with the secretary general EGM Yumnam Rupachandra, it said.

As no action was forthcoming, the EGM has been boycotting the DIPR to send a message to the government. However despite three months having elapsed and several rounds of talk with the Chief Minister, the latter is yet to take any tangible action, it said.

The EGM once again reiterated its demand for removal of Syamo from the post of APO (Press) and to replace him with someone who respects the media, it said.

The EGM also reminded the Chief Minister to take up necessary action to address its other demands, including making an advertising policy as soon as possible to enable EGM to lift the boycott, the statement said.

`The EGM is saddened by the fact that it has to resort to boycotting the above mention functionaries of the government to draw the attention of the government to our grievances` the statement said, adding `However the hand of the EGM has been forced as the government failed to hear us despite repeated appeals`.

As per decision of the EGM, fresh negotiation can only begin after Syamo is removed, it said.

As per the boycott terms, affiliates of EGM will not give any coverage to the press meets, functions, clarifications, achievements, tours etc. of the functionaries mentioned above till an understanding is reach, it said.

The EGM also appealed to the public to bear with it during boycott, it added.
