KSO appeals to implement agreement on ST reservation

IMPHAL, July 17 NNN : The Kuki Students Organisation General Headquarters (KSO-GHQ) has fervently appealed the state government of Manipur to honour and implement the agreement reached between the Kuki students’ body and the state government on May 21, 2013 with regard to the allocation of quota in respect of Scheduled Tribe candidates in the recruitment of constables in Manipur Police department following a backlog of 474 posts in the recruitment process held during February 20, 2008 and December 10, 2008 and the backlog of 28 posts in Manipur Police Housing Corporation Limited, vide letter No.G/19/2012-MPHC/505 of December 13, 2012.
The KSO had demanded that this backlog of 474 posts should be filled separately i.e., independent of the quota already allocated for the STs in the ensuing recruitment process for 2000 numbers of constable posts in the department. Also, the department should make an effort to fill up 28 various posts reserved for STs in MPHCL, the Kuki students’ body added.
According to the Kuki students’ body, responding to the KSO’s call chief minister O Ibobi had agreed to carry forward the backlog of 474 ST posts in the ensuing recruitment of 2000 numbers of Manipur Police Constables, and also to take immediate action regarding the backlog of 28 different posts in Manipur Housing Corporation Limited.
“Thereby, in good faith KSO had temporarily suspended its ongoing 24 hours general strike called on May 21 as well as the suspension of proposed indefinite economic blockade to begin the next following hour,” it stated.
“In the interest of tribal populace and concern for tribal rights KSO has been eagerly waiting for the state government with a hope that assurances are being translated into action. Therefore, KSO urges the SPF III government to show an exemplary that Congress government is indeed concern about tribal quota being manipulated in the state,” the Kuki students’ body demanded.

Demolishing or burning houses of criminals, is punishable under law

Ayo Kasar, MPS (Rtd.)
Among the crimes, the worst and most hateful crime is “Rape”. This is a serious type of this offence and general public generally take a very sympathetic view towards the victim, and looks at this offence with a sort of repulsion. The infurious mob used to go on a rampage rush to the house of the criminal becoming an emotive mob suddenly trespassing into the house and without any words to the family members who were in a dark, about the incident starts demolishing or burning the house. The mob thinks the action they are taking is in favour of the victim’s family and that law protects them under the provision of “General Exception” of Chapter IV, Indian Penal Code, but, rather, it is definitely liable for punishment under the provision of Chapter VIII, “The offence against the public tranquility” of Indian Penal Code, whether individually or jointly for forming unlawful assembly with a criminal conspiracy to commit an offence or offences punishable even for lifer, as the long arm of law will catch to every offender and book them to law without any group or partial consideration. Law does not exempt to any law breakers, whether he belongs to poor or high family but takes its own course. The mob should also understand that the crime that had been committed either Rape or Murder was not committed by the properties or by the houses, but was committed by the criminal himself/themselve, and therefore the liability for punishment.
The general public may also realise that there are various provisions of Acts and laws other than that of the Indian Penal Code that can be charged or fixed on any criminals, like Security Acts, Collective Fines(Act) etc. There had been a very shocking incident last year in Delhi, where a lady Physio Therapist was Gang Raped in a Bus by four youths, and thereafter ghastly beaten up, dumped somewhere and later succumped to her injuries in Singapur Hospital. The criminals were instantly caught red-handed with the help of the general public and now in Tihar Jail. The addresses and their houses were welly located by every body, but no any mischievous act done on the properties or houses. The Govt. of India is seriously thinking about the rise of Rape in India and therefore ammended the punishment of rape for lifer. Let us also try to restrain from continuing such unlawful activities and instead extend aids to the law enforcing agencies in apprehending the culprits for punishment in time.
