In defence of MCSCCE 2016 interview qualified candidates

Sir,
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.” – Adolf Hitler. This old Nazi propaganda comes to mind while going through the recent malicious tirade against the Manipur Public Service Commission by some MCSCCE 2016 (Mains) unsuccessful candidates and their uncanny protégés.

These are the leaders who have been tried and tested by the electorates of Manipur.

Sir,
First of all greetings and warm welcome to you on your maiden visit to Manipur. Manipur is a land locked state and plagued with varied problems. Anyway your visit will surely boost the morale of the euphoric people of Manipur who have been waiting an opportune time to replace the present regime with a new one. The moment you were escorted out from the Imphal airport to your hotel, you must have felt the pleasant climate of Manipur, but little bit dusty along the road you were driving.

Spectre of AFSPA

Sir,
We all know that AFSPA and its horrendous effect on us intruding without leniency whether we are educated or uneducated, poor or rich, criminal or innocent no matter whosoever we are. It seems that people’s demand for revocation of AFSPA would not be fulfilled even after hundreds and thousands of years. A 16-year-old fasting crusade by Irom Sharmila, the Iron Lady of Manipur, came to an end on 9 August 2016.

The 23rd August The Sangai Express article “MPP questions rationale of cancelling recruitment test”, for Manipur Police Constable (Male) highlights a rather comic attempt, of a once-mighty now-redundant party to salvage some political and electoral credibility before the assembly elections next year.

Bandh antidote

Sir,
The primary and main target of installation of the State Bank of India Branch and the Post Office within the Manipur University campus appears to easily provide Bank and Postal Services to the optimum limit to the employees of the University as well as to the general customers. In the security system hitherto used to protect and safeguard these two important institutions, the common customers who are also permitted to transact here, face a great hardship. The strict security system in-force for the common entrants / customers to avail the services of the Bank and the Post Office have to pass through the gruelling entries, counter entries processes before allowing them to reach their destinations all of which are a few 100 metres away from the entrance without allowing to take in means of transport. This hurdle is exempted for the employees of the bank, post office and MU employees and the other officials whose offices are situated within the MU campus. What is more surprising is that both the bank and the post office are for public service. Many a customer, of the Bank is not official employee either of the Bank or other offices located within the MU precinct. The burden is more conspicuously laid on the general customers.
