The post Local news flavor appeared first on  KanglaOnline.com.

In the news room, there are times when a few lines that come in the form of a press release triggers off some serious thinking. Mostly, it is the flurry of such releases that come in with seemingly polite instructions on how much of column space and which page number though of course, it should be Page 1 that occupies our minds. It is not too sure just how many people read and take seriously what press notes say since the standard for every such note is to put the line of thought or action of the person or organization that has set out the release. Then there is the social factor too: where living in a tight knit small community means that everyone who knows a staff at the new room will put their pressure on putting ‘their’ releases. No matter if it they happen to be of the most inconsequential nature. For them, it is imperative that they see the light of the day and again on Page 1. How do the desk staff at newspaper rooms cope with the pressure would make a modern epic tale of bearing it all, letting some go to the dust bin and hoping that no will complain the next day. The media is in no doubt in a critical position in Manipur today. There are now more newspapers and more news agencies doing its job of informing people and shaping opinions. The advent of social media and the opening of newspaper websites also facilitate more interactive processes with the ‘like’ button becoming the alternative of a letter of appreciation. Yet on the ground, newspapers function under the shadow of directives that may or may not be too polite. The notion of a ‘free press’ or a ‘free media’ is debunked every time there is a mail from one group or the other that hints at how important the release is. Over and above this, is the implied accusation that the Manipur media is biased for not using the actual language being used by certain civil society groups. Whoever heard of editorial liberties are certainly absent in the state.

Yet, these are symptomatic of the conflict situation in the state: the conflict for power, resources, a greater say, for identity, for ethnicity and recognition. Increasingly, there is the growing tendency for press conferences alleging everything under the sun without any room for verifying claims and counter claims. The media is party to the issue when it does not bother to verify the claims or counter claims. We end up saying we have resource constraints and that we cannot possibly follow up every story. And then we end up waking the next day and filling the pages with counter allegations and counter press conferences. In the process, we shortchange our readers who may well be wanting to read something else than is being said and challenged. Given the nature of stories that we wake up every day to read or hear around us, it is not really surprising that the most read and appreciated piece of news or reporting happen to be about stories of hope and inspiration. The news stories about a woman mechanic and a woman auto driver still brings in voices of admiration and request for such life experiences to be shared.

Maybe, it is the fatigue of negative news and those of gloom and doom. Or maybe, it is the stage where people at large want to have something working and happening but on our social networking pages, the photo of locally made ice creams brought in the most readership. The same happened in the cases of two women entrepreneurs who took to cake baking. There is a genuine appreciation and an eagerness to recognize local talent and local products that is so different from a phase where everything local was suspect and not to be dwelt on. Maybe the public wants something to feel good about. And maybe, the readers will shape how news gets shaped. Hopefully, there will be a day when so and so groups will not pull the shots literally on what piece of news gets printed on which page and readers by their encouragement sets the tone on what gets on the pages. Amen!

Manipur Women Rises to End Violence Against Women and Girls in State

Manipur Women Rises to End Violence Against Women and Girls in State

Over 20,000 people have been killed in the last five decades due to ongoing conflict in Manipur. Today more than 30 armed groups operate in Manipur – ranging from small outfits to organizations with several thousand members. Besides them, dozens of battalions of the Indian Army and several units of Indian paramilitary forces are stationed throughout Manipur. Manipur is one of the most conflict-ridden states in India. Women and children of Manipur suffer most in this conflict. Every year 300 widows are born in the state as a result of arm violence.

In Manipur, violence against women is increasing. There were 269 cases of violence against women during the period between January and October of 2012 as per record published by local newspapers. The above cases include 21 rape cases, two rape and murder cases, 16 suicide cases, 7 molestation cases, 4 kidnapping cases, 56 missing cases and 78 trafficking cases. There has been a steep rise in crime against women in Manipur despite the emergence of a large number of women’s vigil groups and civil bodies and higher recruitment in the police department. There are various forms of violence against women. Violence at home – it can be physical abuse, it can verbal abuse. Then, there is violence in public places such as buses, trains where women are sexually harassed. Then we have a third form of violence where there is conflict, where there is structured conflict going on since decades. Women in Manipur face all the three types of violence. Manipur has the second highest rate in domestic violence in the country.

Gender analysts here said, delayed delivery of justice; poor economic condition and imposition of the controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) are some of the factors fuelling crime against women in the state. They said lack of human rights and gender equality education in police training and non-implementation of gender issues in education are adding to the problem.

Women of Northeast India are joining the One Billion Rising Global Campaign in solidarity to stop any form of violence against women. The One Billion Rising Campaign is a global campaign by women for women. The campaign calls for an end to violence, and for justice and gender equality. On February 14, 2013, a one-day event will be held, a call for one billion women around the world to walk away from their homes, businesses, and jobs, and join together to dance in a show of collective strength. The word “billion” refers to the one billion women who are survivors of abuse. As of September 20, 2012, people from 160 countries have signed up to take part in the campaign. The campaign was initiated by playwright and activist Eve Ensler. The campaign was in part inspired by the Todd Akin ‘legitimate rape’ and pregnancy comment controversy. Ensler, shocked at Akin’s statement, wrote an open letter in response. Around 5,000 organizations have joined the campaign, which has also been aided or endorsed by religious ministers, movement builders, actors Rosario Dawson, Robert Redford, and Stella Creasy, British Labour Co-operative politician.

Manipur Women Gun Survivors Network and Northeast India Women Initiative for Peace will be organising a meeting on the theme “Strategizing to End Violence against Women in Manipur” on 14 Feb 2013, 10 am to 12 pm at the Classic Hotel, Imphal, Manipur. The event was organized to support and join the One Billion Rising Global Campaign in solidarity as we feel that, gender equality is, first and foremost, a human right, women are entitled to live in dignity and in freedom from want and from fear. Empowering women is also an indispensable tool for advancing development and reducing poverty. The conference will find ways to address the issue and to ensure for immediate steps from concerned authorities to stop violence against women.

“One Club in One Village” – A Unique Movement in Agriculture

Dr. K. Parameswaran, Assistant Director, PIB, Madurai.
Not long back, village authorities in the Madurai West block had taken the quite unprecedented step of handing over the management of the Women’s Health Centre (Magalir Sugadhara Valagam) to the members of the nearby Rajakkur Farmer’s Club! The Farmer’s Club, based in Lakshmipuran in Melur block of Madurai district has been instrumental in initiating a practice of distributing books every year to poor students of the local school. Again, farmers of the Vaigai Vivasayigal Sangam in the district are eager participants in agriculture related training programmes conducted in various parts of the state.
All these are the offshoots of a small movement launched in the Indian villages by the National Bank for agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). The Farmers Club is a concept supported by the NABARD. Its motto is the formation of “One farmers club in One Village”. Farmers, preferably progressive farmers, are mobilized under the banner of farmers clubs. NABARD supports these clubs for a period of 3 years with grant assistance for exposure visits, training through experts, encouraging progressive farming methods etc.
At present, over 170 Farmers Clubs are functioning successfully in various villages spread across Madurai district. The most successful examples of farmer’s clubs are those formed by the jasmine growers of Uthappanaickanur. They have been brought under 30 clubs by NABARD, in partnership with Indian Bank. As a subsequent step, these clubs have also been federated into the Uthappanaickanur Flower Grower Federation. These jasmine growers are looking for support from the district administration to run their own market in Uthappanaickanur for which a piece of land has been approved ‘in principle’.
NABARD have since accorded approval for formation of such Farmers Clubs by Primary Agriculture Co-op Credit Societies (PACS) in the co-operative sector in Alanganallur block of Madurai district. The inauguration and orientation programme for the Paraipatty Farmers Club & Devaseri Farmers Club under Kodangipatti PACS & Muduvarpatti PACS was conducted in Alanganallur block recently
R Sankar Narayan, AGM, NABARD is of the opinion that farmers need to understand perfectly the nuances of the value chain. This alone can lead to a ‘win win’ situation, enabling individual farmers also to use Farmers Clubs as ‘change agents’. In all such endeavors, farmers can always use the forum of farmers clubs to gain inputs on latest technology, seek the help of the experts and eventually become masters of their own profession.
He further explained that NABARD, under its Farmers Technology Transfer Fund (FTTF) will be happy to bear the entire cost of such initiatives such as training programmes, exposure visits and development of demo plots. Shri Narayan indicated that in the coming months, serious efforts will be launched to promote High Density Plantations in Mango and Guava in association with the Horticulture Department using the latest technologies such as drip irrigation, polythene mulching etc.
Under its programme, NABARD supports these Farmers clubs for a period of 3 years with grant assistance for exposure visits, training through experts, encouraging progressive farming methods etc. For this purpose, NABARD allocates Rs. 10,000 per Farmers Club annually for 3 years. To continue their functioning after the period of 3 years, these farmers clubs are encouraged to start their own small savings which could be used for day to day expenses and on-lending among themselves in times of need.
Other benefits of coming under the ‘Farmers Club Programme’ are Annual Maintenenace Grant for the day to day expenses for 3 years, nomination to CAT training programmes across Tamil Nadu (a number of farmers club members have been nominated to attend training programmes in Pudukottai, Coimbatore, Trichy and Kanchipuram), SMS alerts in vernacular through Reuters Market Light Ltd, support to conduct expert meets on various topics such as vermi-compost, water management, SRI, Precision farming, Vegetable farming, Dairying, and Organic farming, sponsoring exposure visits to other districts etc.

The art of winning in election

From UPA I to UPA II, it took a loan waiving policy and announcement of some schemes to win people’s confidence. The same technique may be used by the UPA II to cling to power. After budget session scheduled to start from the later part of February more schemes for the welfare of the common […]

From UPA I to UPA II, it took a loan waiving policy and announcement of some schemes to win people’s confidence. The same technique may be used by the UPA II to cling to power. After budget session scheduled to start from the later part of February more schemes for the welfare of the common masses may be announced. That had been indicated by the waiving of loans for weavers. Congress led UPA II will target the youths to emulate the record set by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru led Congress party. The party under Nehru won continuously for three terms starting from 1952 to 1962 elections. He died in 1964 and could not attempt for the straight quadruplet win. Since then no political party has been able to win continuously for three terms. This is a challenge the young leader of the Congress party Rahul Gandhi will face. Ever since he was promoted to vice President of the Congress party he has started talking like the great leader. He has said when he was General Secretary in charge of youth and NSUI his mind was preoccupied with youths only. Now he is the Vice President and he will not sideline senior leaders. A matured view. Rahul will be the next Prime Minister if Congress and its allies sweep the poll. That is a foregone conclusion, but the chinthan shivir of the party held in Rajasthan ended with his promotion to Vice President. There is a reason behind that. What is important in election is winning more seats. The rest will follow naturally. To get more, Congress party has to formulate various schemes and programmes for the youths. Wait for the budget session to start. In the run up to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections the country will see various schemes and programmes being doled out. Congress unlike opposition parties is a responsible party therefore it shows restraint in making election related promises. Those parties, which will never grab power can make irresponsible promises for they will never get the opportunity to translate the promises into action. A political party, which never sit in treasury benches can say if they come to power at the centre all the educated youths will be given Rs 10,000 per month. Can Congress party make such false promises? The answer will be in the negative because implementation of such false claim will not be possible? But a pertinent question is being asked why common masses show propensity towards Congress party? In Manipur too in the recently held state assembly elections Manipuris voted enmasse for the Congress party. Congress party pays the thrust to image building. While the opposition indulges in squabbling over the selection of leader, Congress leaves the choice of leadership to the high command. A disciplined fighter always in the war. The plus point of the Congress party is that it has in its rank and file workers and leaders, who are hell bent to obey the command of the high command. BJP cannot project its leader. But a war is never won without having a well trained general. That is the difference between Congress party and other parties be it regional or national.

S. Jaiyaraman, Special Secretary on Internal Security, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) talking to the media after the fifth round of talks on Nagas ‘Alternative Arrangement’ demand at Senapati on Tuesday.

SENAPATI, Feb 12 NNN: The 5th round of formal ‘tripartite talks’ involving the United Naga Council (UNC), Manipur and Central Governments was held at Senapati district headquarters on Tuesday.
However, the theme of the talks i.e. the ‘Alternative Arrangement’ was not discussed.
The Naga leaders said they had clearly submitted the line of their aspiration to the government of India but today’s talk had not gone to that extent.
The Naga leaders have said if this attitude of the government is displayed in the next round of talks, they will go back to the people, hinting that serious agitations will be initiated.
However, the Naga leaders had conveyed that in the next round of talks it should be at the ‘political level’.
Meanwhile, in today’s talks, S Jaiyaraman, Internal Security Special Secretary and Sambhu, Joint Secretary (NE) of Union Home Ministry represented the Government of India while Manipur Government was represented by Chief Secretary DS Poonia, Additional Chief Secretary Ameising Luikham, Prinicipal Secretary (Home) DR J Suresh Babu.
UNC was represented by its president L Adani, vice president TS Warngam, general secretary Gaidon Kamei, former UNC chief KS Paul Leo, Asinpao Gangmei and four other members in the talks.
Senapati district Deputy Commissioner Pradeep Kumar Jha, Superintendent of Police Pushpanjali and Commandant, 59th Mountain Bragadier also took part in it.
“The outcome of the talks was positive,” Chief Secretary DS Poonia told journalists after the meeting wherein the three sides focused on devolution of power to the Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) to bring development in the hill areas of Manipur.
The meeting also discussed on development in various fields like education, health, SSA, RMSA and banks in the entire hill area at par with the valley, the Chief Secretary said.
Responding to a media query, Poonia said that the talks did not discuss about the “Alternative Arrangement” of the Naga people outside Manipur Government pending a solution to the Naga political problem.
Internal Security Special Secretary Jaiyaraman said that during the exchanges he expressed his desire to let Manipur Government to properly complete all the developmental works being taken up in the hill areas.
He, however, said the proposal of the UNC for an Alternative Arrangement for the Nagas must be decided by the Manipur Government and the Constitution.
The schedule for the next round of the tripartite talks would be decided after due consultations with the higher authorities, he said.
Naga leader KS Paul Leo said that today’s talks contradicted the 4th round of tripartite talks held on August 31, 2012 in New Delhi, but he admitted that certain unclear thing was there in the talks as Jaiyaraman took part in it for the first time.
The UNC is concerned about a political issue and hence it wants to hold talks on its demands with political leaders and not other officials of both the Manipur and Central Governments.
He said UNC demands for an Alternative Arrangement for the Naga people to safeguard their culture and identity and arrangement of separate legislature, administration, judiciary and finance for the Naga people.
“We have no bias on any particular community, but we cannot live under the rule of Chief Minister O Ibobi ,Leo said.
During the meeting, Chief Secretary D.S Poonia strongly opposed the idea of destroying the territorial integrity of Manipur, Leo cited.
Saying that Manipur has an area of 22, 238 Sq km and of this, the hill area covers 20, 000 sq km while about 2238 by the valley, he asked whether the Government wants only to heed to the wishes of the valley.
At the same time, the hill is represented by 20 MLAs while 40 by the valley in the 60-member state assembly, he said while alleging that such uneven representation of the people has led to the dominance of the hill by the valley.
Paul Leo alleged that Manipur Government has neglected the hill people for a long time and vowed that the UNC would continue to struggle for fulfillment of the aspiration of the Naga people with their mandate and that would be the final destination even if the Centre chooses to continue with its apathy toward them.
UNC had in the 4th round of tripartite talks urged the Government of India that the Nagas want that the Indo-Naga issue be settled at the earliest, apart from the demand for an Alternative Arrangement outside Government of Manipur.

Mail News Service
Imphal, Feb 12 : Apropos to the news articles title “UNLF alleges cross border activities” published in this paper Assam Rifles has strongly rebutted the allegation that AR had crossed inside Myanmar territory and conducted a sabotage operation by destroying a bridge.
The statement made by UNLF against the Assam Rifles is simply a case of frustration leading to vilification as combined efforts of the state machinery and Assam Rifles in bringing peace in Manipur has paid dividends, which recently manifested in 45 UPPK cadres coming overground it was stated. Such statement is nothing but cheap stunt of under-grounds to drive a wedge between India and Myanmar, two friendly nations. Visit of Dr Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of India to Myanmar on 7 May 2012 and signing of various MOU’s between Govt of India and Myanmar during the visit has raised concern amongst the undergrounds groups. Apart from visit of the PM, defence minister, Service Chiefs and various dignitaries also visited Myanmar & the visits were reciprocated by the Myanmar Government. In addition, other confidence building means like Post level meeting, joint patrolling by SFs and Myanmar Army, Hot Line between India and Myanmar, increase in frequent visit of high ranking Military and Civil Administration official to Myanmar and numerous other means instituted between two countries have raised trust levels to a new high . Relations between India and Myanmar are hence getting better with each passing day. Blowing up of bridge at Tamu appears to be a plan of CorCom to disrupt the relations between two countries and create misunderstanding, a plan that has failed miserably, since ties between the countries have been cemented to such an extent that they remain unaffected by such false malicious propaganda. The trust shared by the Myanmar Govt is evident by the protest note forwarded by Myanmar Govt which clearly blamed UNLF for this act of cowardice and treason on the innocent people of Myanmar. They have also requested cooperation of State Govt of Manipur and Assam Rifles in investigating and bringing the culprits before the law.
These kind of baseless claims are an endeavour by CorCom to boost their depleting credibility, morale of their rank and file and also to malign the image of Security Forces since perception of general masses has tilted favourably towards Security Forces. Assam Rifles strongly condemn this act by UNLF and assures that it will make all possible effort to prevent undergrounds from harming Myanmar’s interest and will fight tooth and nail attempts of UGs to drive a wedge between two friendly nations.
