PDS remains an illusion for many villages under Saikul, Saitu blocks
By Our Staff Reporter
IMPHAL, Jul 4: For some villages under Saikul and Saitu blocks, the Public Distribution System of the State Government remains an illusion. The people of the marginalised villages have not been receiving PDS items since many years back. These villagers even do not know their ration agents/dealers.
This was conveyed to a combined team of Komrem Development Organisation (KREDO), Komrem Students' Union (KRSU) and DESAM and FCS officials who went there.
Most of the villages visited by the team do not get commodities like rice, sugar, kerosene oil etc at the Govnt subsidised rate while at ma-ny other villages, benefi- ciary families receive far less quantity of PDS items than the allotted quantities.
Irked at the total failure of PDS there, KREDO general secretary N Khuplenthang called upon the ADC Kang-pokpi and FCS officials not to issue utilization certifi-cates declaring that PDS items have been delivered to the beneficiary people with-out actual verification.
Appealing to issue UCs only after spot verification, he asserted that the PDS items lost on the way before reaching the people should be reimbursed by the district administration and FCS officials.
Taking serious note of such irregularities in distributing PDS items, Khuplen- thang said that the 3 bodies will go to other tribal villa-ges of hill districts to check implementation of PDS.
Of the villages visited by the joint team today, Nung-shai Chiru, Bungte Chiru and Ichum Keirap are located in Senapati district just beyond Bishnupur district.
The four villages of Bungte Chiru, Vainem, Thangbu Laimaton and Nungang together got just 10 bags (1 quintal each) of rice per month. However, Bungte Chiru village has not been receiving even the meagre quantity of rice since last year.
Even as kerosene was distributed in the village last month at the rate of Rs 15 per month, many families did not get their quota due to the meagre quantity allotted to the agent.
The people of Maibung located near Imphal East district has not been receiving PDS items for the last 10 years. They do not know even their ration agents. Likewise, PDS items remain an illusion to the people of Sinam Kom village.
The problem is further compounded by change of ration agents/dealers with the election of new MLAs and clubbing of two/three villages under an agent, observed the team.

Loukoipat mishap case reaches HC
By Our Staff Reporter
IMPHAL, Jul 4: Accusing the State Government of fai-ling to provide life saving equipment and other essential safety measures at Loukoipat, families of three victims who drowned after their boat capsized in Loukoipat on May 27, have filed two separate writ petitions before the Gauhati High Court.

The writ petitions were filed by K Shantikumar, husband of the deceased Lata and father of late Berlin, and L Lokendro, father of late Naoba. They prayed the Court to issue a direction to the State respondents to pay Rs 10 lakhs each for the three victims as compensation.
The petitioners contended that the tragic incident occurred due to failure of State authorities to provide life jackets and other emergency equipment , said advocate Ch Lokendro appearing on behalf of the petitioners.

The State respondents listed in the notice include the Chief Secretary and Chairman of Loukoipat Ecological Park Management Committee.
MLA outrightly rejects charges of JAC Khomidok
By Our Staff Reporter
IMPHAL, Jul 4:Rejecting all the charges levelled agai-nst him, MLA of Khurai A/C Dr Ng Bijoy has clarified that he had not given shelter even for a moment to any person involved in the killing of Mina Bibi of Khomidok and said as an elected representative of the people he would like to resolve the issue impartially.
Addressing a press conference at Manipur Press Club here today, Dr Bijoy rejected all the allegations levelled against him by the JAC formed in connection with the incident.
Instead of levelling such false and malicious charg-es, it would have been better on the part of the JAC to approach him as an elected representative of the people for resolving the issue, he observed. He said while the incident took place on May 6, he heard about it on only May 7 while returning from Delhi. Immediately, he went to the village along with the SP of Imphal East to look into the matter.
During the course of talking with the family members of Mina Bibi in conn- ection in the unfortunate incident, some of them said she was hit by an iron rod on the head while some others maintained that it was on her neck. When inquired further whether there was any scar mark or bone of her skull was broken, the family members replied in the negative. So when he further questioned on the me- dical history of the deceas-ed woman, the family mem- bers revealed that she was a BP patient to which he had simply remarked that she might have had BP stroke.
‘All that I had observed was that there should be some scar marks if she was killed with the help of iron rod or some other blunt object. But the people were very agitated that day and so I came back by saying that we may discuss the matter on some other day’, Dr Bijoy said.
While conceding to the charge that he had not come to meet the injured persons, Dr Bijoy asserted that he has been keeping contact with the Pradhan of Khomi-dok Gram Panchayat Md Nijamuddin who advised him that it would not be pro-per for him to come there owning to the prevailing tension. ‘Nonetheless, I have been waiting for the opportune time to pay a visit in consultation with the Pradhan’, he added.
Contrary to the allegation of the JAC, Dr Bijoy clarified that he had not gone to the house of the alleged accused, Md Babu whose house had been set on fire by the people nor met any of his family members after they fled.
‘But on hearing that their granary had been burnt in the fire and they have nothing to eat, as a responsible elected representative of the people I had told some of my people to send half a bag of rice to them’, Dr Bijoy said.
‘Even if I have not gone to the respective houses of those who sustained injuries in the clash, I have met those who were admitted to the hospital for treatment. Since both the parties are people of my own constituency, there is no question of favouring one group over the other’, he clarified further. While assuring every possible help from his side toward resolving the issue, Dr Bijoy appealed to the JAC to work with sincerity and keeping the interest of the people the mind.

By Our Staff Reporter
IMPHAL, Jul 4: Demanding befitting punishment of the doctors accused of negligence that led to the the death of Keisam Sunibala alias Pakpi of Utlou, at RIMS on July 1 after delivering a baby at Leirik Memorial Charitable Hospital, a large number of people picketed the official residence of the Chief Minister today.
The JAC Against the Death of Keisam Ongbi Sunibala alias Pakpi Due To Negligence of Dr Laishram Sukumar came to submit a memorandum to the Chief Minister today at about 3.30 pm.
However, the large number of the JAC members were blocked by police in front of the Chief Minister's residence.

\With the arrival of top police officials, the enraged mob was flushed out till the gate of MSRTC.
In the mean time, another team of JAC members marched towards the CM's official residence. They were also blocked by police near Nupi Lan Memorial Complex.
Later three representatives were allowed to hand over to memorandum to the Chief Minister.
According to the memorandum, Dr L Sukumar, the prime accused in the case, was responsible for the death of two pregnant women earlier due to his negligence.
It demanded immediate termination of incompetent Dr Sukumar and to award befitting punishment.

The JAC asserted that they would not make compromise under any circumstance until and unless Dr Sukumar is terminated from service for good.
Tamei in the death throes of malaria
Ng Liklaileima
IMPHAL, Jul 4 : Inspite of frequent outbreaks of malaria in the remote areas of Tamei sub-division in Tamenglong district, there are no adequate medicines at the Primary Health Centre of the Sub-division. As a result, villagers who can afford are purchasing the medicines from the pharmacists to save themselves from the epidemic while those who cannot have been left to their own fate.
Over and above this, due to absence of microscopic facilities and irregularity of the doctors on duty at the only healthcare centre of the area, malaria patients have to be brought to Imphal for treatment. On the other hand, even if symptomatic signs of malarial infection appears, many of the poor villagers who could not shell out money for treatment are depending on the herbal medicines prepared by the local quacks.
With the onset of rainy season, outbreak of malaria has been an annual phenomenon in the remote villages of Tamei Sub-division like Konphung, Leng- long, Dikurum, Katang, Chaton, Eleng, etc and many people have fallen prey to the disease. Yet the Government has not taken up any concrete measures to prevent death from malaria.
Talking to The Sangai Express, an official of the Primary Health Centre at Tamei disclosed that reports of outbreak of malaria in the remote villages of the sub-division have already started started coming in for this year.
However, from out of the required medicines to be given to the malaria patient like Chloroquine, Primaquine and E-Mal only Chloroquine is available at the centre.
Chloroquine is also a medicine which is not used in modern days as it is fully effective.
There is no guarantee that a patient will be saved by taking this medicine, although its cost is very cheap.
Therefore the villagers who can afford are heading for the pharmacies to purchase the other two medicines even if their cost are relatively very high while those who could not afford are left to fend for themselves.
It is said a full course of Chloroquine medicine cost only Rs 20 while Primaquine and E-Mal costs Rs 85 and Rs 375 respectively.
Even for those who can afford to buy Primaquine and E-Mal, their survival from the disease hangs by a thread, as they cannot take the full course of these medicines due to short supply. These medicines are to be made available to the people free of cost from all the District Hospitals, Primary Health Centres and Sub-Centres. It is also manda- tory on the part of the officials of the District Vector Borne Diseases Control Society to provide medicines for treatment of malaria free of cost if they detected any case of malarial infection during the course of touring the villages. However, it such benefits are nothing but wishful thinking for many people living in these remote villages.
Secretary of Konphung village Kh Lunglinbo informed that atleast one member of in every families in the village are suffering from ailments with related symptoms of malaria they do not go to the Primary Health Centre at Tamei as the doctors on duty are absent most of the time and there is no medicine and prefer to go to Imphal for treatment, if they have the money. Last year 10 persons died from malaria while 5 persons are currently suffering from it in the village.
As many of the families are also poor, they depended on locally available medicinal plants like Nongmankha for treatment, he informed.
Another official of the Tamei Primary Health Centre disclosed that four patients from Lenglong village and five others from Konphung village have come to the centre for treatment this year so far.
Many villagers do not come to the health centre for treatment on account of deplorable condition of the road and transportation in the area, the official said, adding that three persons from Lenglong village died from malaria last year.
Interestingly, with the main objective of spreading awareness among the people to control malaria and to collect blood samples from the affected people to find out the extent of malarial outbreak in the State the Anti-Malaria Month is currently being observed under the aegis of Manipur State Vector Borne Disease Control Society in different parts of the State since June 22. But many affected many people living in the remote areas are not getting the required medicines for treatment.
Taking serious note of this stark reality, the chairman of Tamei Headquarters Village Authority Pouken said it is high time for the authorities concerned to wake up to the need of the hour and pay attention to the problem being faced by the people living in the remote area even for treatment of such common disease like malaria.
Municipality status for Moreh
Naga bodies veto CM's idea
Newmai News Network
Imphal, Jul 3: The idea mooted by Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh to upgrade the border town of Moreh to the status of a Municipality has irked the Naga civil societies in Chandel district rather than drawing appreciation.
Opining that sincerity and commitment of the Government is the most important factor required for development and prosperity, the Chandel Naga Peoples' Organisation (CNPO), Naga Students' Union, Chandel (NSUC), Naga Women Chandel (NWC) and all their federating units while expressing their resentment against the remark of the Chief Minister, have urged the latter not to kick up ruckus unnecessarily.
The Chandel Naga civil organisations said “Moreh border town is part and parcel of Chandel district which is a tribal region although the town is being settled by different communities”.
The CNPO, NSUC, NWC and their federating bodies said “as such, any plan or policy either of the Central or the State Governments that contemplates” to be applied in the region should not be against the interest of the tribal communities.
The Naga organisations of Chandel district then asserted that they deeply support the idea of development and prosperity of Moreh town and its surroundings and also “our deepest concern for the peaceful co-existence of all the communities”.
The Autonomous District Council Act is already enforced in all the hill districts and therefore, no other policy or programme should be envisaged at this juncture in the region,” stated firmly the different Naga social organisations of Chandel district.
Finally the Naga organisations of the district urged the state chief minister to do something which is in the interest of all the communities of the area and the district.
