Girl rescues injured animal; veterinary hospital defunct

By Paojel Chaoba

IMPHAL, June 13: If you come across an injured animal in the streets, the general reaction is to think that it is a sad event and generally walk past the harmed being. However, not all people are alike and there is one among the crowd that just do not show concern, but rather act on it.

One such person is Rajkumari Neha, a 12 standard student of North Point School. She was driving along Uripok Kangchup road to buy medicine, when their vehicle beam flashed on a cow lying bloodied near the road crossing of Uripok Khaidem Leikai. The cow`™s mammalary gland was torn apart (an earth mover had struck the cow with the teeth of the vehicle and drove away.) The scene was more poignant as a month old calf was braying for its mother to get up.

Neha decided to act on the situation and went to the local electronic cable channel, IS Tv to report the incident as the owner may come forward.

She was replied that it was too late for the telecast since it was almost 10.30 pm and the technical team had left. Undeterred, she went to two local newspapers to put an advertisement and was carried so today.

However, as the owner failed to turn up, Neha decide that the minutes were mattering and the cow`™s injury could turn fatal if left untreated. She called up friends and a relative of hers who owns a cargo vehicle. Then, with the help of people from the accident spot, the injured animal along with the calf were hauled up the vehicle and taken to the State Veterinary Department at Sanjenthong at around 10.30 am today. There, the staff told the team to wait and that the doctor would be arriving any minute. But, despite waiting for one hour and more, no doctor came nor was any emergency medical treatment given at the animal hospital. As the animal was severely bleeding, the wait would lead to certain death for the animal. So, the team got in touch with Dr. Devkishore, who runs a private veterinary clinic called `Claws and Paws`™at Keisampat area.

Today , the doctor was looking after his farm located at Meitei Langol, Game Village. The People for Animals, Manipur (PFA) also got in touch with Neha Rajkumari and together took the animal to the said farm. On arrival, the doctor who was planning a Saturday lunch with friends dropped everything and gave emergency treatment to the cow. Oxygen and anesthesia was administered along with intravenous saline solutions to prevent dehydration. The udder of the cow which was falling out was stitched again. The entire operation took nearly three hours to complete . It was a testing time for the PFA volunteers , Neha and the doctor. Finally, the operation was over at approximately 4 pm.

The cow was given fodder and water, it could not rise to its feet immediately but regained strength to sit up and eat. Nearby, the month old calf hidden from view of its mother also lay exhausted, as it could not nourish for more than 40 hours. As a PFA volunteer went upto it, the startled calf sprang to its feet and started to bellow! At that time, the mother heard the sound and also cried back to be reunited with her offspring but could not get up. It was a touching moment for all the people that present at that time. Dr Devkisore exclaimed that the reaction of the mother was a good sign and there is every hope of a speedy recovery. The injured animal would be looked after at the Langol farm till full recovery is made, the doctor added.

`The medicine and other materials are provided free of cost by the doctor from his own pocket for the treatment,` PFA managing trustee, L Bishorjit said. The profits which comes from the doctor`™s private clinic is used to treat animals in need. Bisorjit complained that it is the duty of the Imphal Municipal Council to impound the stray animals let loose in the municipal area. However, there is no heed for the law and IMC turns a blind eye to the stray animals, which endangers animal and public alike.

Neha Rk also mentioned that without the help of PFA and the doctor, the animal would have died for sure. She asked the role of Veterinary Department and the animal hospital, `I am doubtful whether the doctors really care to treat animals, perhaps they feel that `animals should be treated as animals`™ as they cannot voice their plight, ` she said.

The pertinent question is what the State Veterinary Department is actually doing ? The matter has been advertised in the papers and suo moto action could have been taken up. But, even when the injured animal was taken to the treatment centre, no medical aid was given nor did any doctor arrive. The best result is the exemplary initiative taken by a young girl and with her determination helped to save the life of a cow and her calf.

Sources mentioned that requesting calls came from authorities of the State Veterinary Department not to disclose this matter to the media.

`Farmers should adopt new technologies to increase production`

IMPHAl, June 13: The Agricultural Technology Management Agency, AITA Churachandpur today organised a Within State Farmers`™ Training programme on `Integrated Farming System towards Sustainable Agriculture` at the conference hall of the Directorate of Agriculture.

Speaking at the workshop, Agronomy HoD, Central Agriculture University L Nabachandra said there is a rapid improvement of new technologies in the field of farming and it is vital for the farmers to educate themselves on the new technologies.

This will help in increasing their productivity, save energy and time and most importantly help them economically, he added.

He further said that if the farmers can accept the coming of new technology and get used to it, agricultural productivity in the State can be abundant and help in economic crisis.

He also highlighted the importance of crop diversification stating that various kinds of crops should be planted and farmers should not stick with just cultivating a single crop.

Single crop plantation will eventually aggravate the quality of the soil which will lead to decrease in productivity, while multi crops farming will maintain the quality of the soil, he observed.

AITA, Churachandpur project director, M Gyanendro said there is a huge lack of information among the farmers about the new technologies used in farming. The main objective of the training programme is to educate the farmers about the new technologies they can use in farming, help them in capacity building and at the same time provide up-to-date information in the field of farming to improve their fields productivity.

Gyanendro further appealed to the farmers attending the programme to cooperate and assist them in making the training programme a success.

Today`™s function was also attended by State Agricultural Management & Essential Agency Institute (SAMETI) deputy director as guest of honour.

ATSUM warns closure of Hr Secondary schools in hill districts

IMPHAL, June 13: The All Tribal Students`™ Union Manipur (ATSUM) led by Muan Tombing, has threatened to close down higher secondary schools in the entire hill districts with effect from

IMPHAL, June 13: The All Tribal Students`™ Union Manipur (ATSUM) led by Muan Tombing, has threatened to close down higher secondary schools in the entire hill districts with effect from June 14 in case the State government fails to meet the deadline served by ATSUM to fulfill its charter of demands.

Announcing the decision during a press conference held at its office today, Muan Tombing revealed that ATSUM will resort to cut off all communications including ban on national projects, as second phase of its agitation.

It may be mentioned that ATSUM submitted an ultimatum to Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, on April 13 reminding the latter to fulfill its long pending demands within the stipulated time of April 14 to June 14, 2015.

The ATSUM`™s president recalled that on October 22, 2014 the executive members of the ATSUM met the Chief Minister of Manipur wherein the CM had agreed to meet several terms of the ATSUM.

Elaborating on the agreement reached, he said assurance was given by the Chief Minister for setting up and making ST commission functional on the eve of new year 2015 which has remain mere wishful thinking.

Subsequently, the ATSUM felt that it was pertinent to serve an ultimatum in the interest of the tribal for early activation of ST commission on or before June 14, 2014.

With regards to the regularisation of 705 contract lecturers, the government was reminded to complete the special formalities of regularisation before the commencement of the academic session 2015-16, he added.

To streamline and strengthen the functioning of the education department, the Government of Manipur in an order Imphal, June 1 2007 had bifurcated the duties and responsibilities between the directors and additional director of Education (S) department, Tombing pointed out.

At the same time, the same was agreed upon in the discourse between GOM and ATSUM, Education Minister and director Education (S) had given the assurance to publish it in a gazette very shortly. However, nothing has been implemented till date besides the additional directors (hills) has been given neither the responsibilities of the hills nor the power to function as given in the order, continued the ATSUM president.

Issues pertaining to manipulation and exploitation of tribal quota in Manipur legislative Assembly, transfer of land records and special recruitment drive in JNIMS etc are featured in the demands of the ATSUM.

The press meet held at its office located at Nagaram, Imphal was also attended by ATSUM finance Secretary SR Andria, Education Secretary Lovejoy Shimrah and its Vice President Korophun.
