Fillip to sportspersons : Appt forms handedover

IMPHAL, Dec 30: Inau-gurating the newly cons-
tructed school building and administrative block
of the National Sports Academy here today, Chief
Minister O Ibobi Singh has expressed hope that
many National and International level players
would come out from the Sports Academy.
As announced by the State Government earlier,
offer forms/appointment forms were also
presented by the Chief Minister to the gold medal
winners in various National Games starting from
the event held at Imphal in 1999 at the occasion.
The appointment orders include induction of 40
players in Youth Affairs and Sports Department,
50 players in Home Department and 19 players in
the Education Department.
The Chief Minister explained that induction of the
players in different departments of the State
Government is based not only on their sporting
talent but also on their educational qualification.
However, there are two more cases of overaged
players, seven others who do not fulfil the
prescribed height in the efficiency test and two
other absentee players, which would be
considered in accordance to their minimum
qualification in general education, the Chief
Minister said, while emphasising on general
education along with pursuing sports.
With the inauguration of the school and the
administrative block, the sports academy would
be able to take care of the physical, mental and
educational development of the players as well,
the Chief Minister hoped.
Taking note of the fact that the number of
women players was more than their male
counterparts in the distribution of the
appointment orders, the Chief Minister observed
that more attention should be paid on improving
the performance of the women players from
whom much can be expected for the future of
sports in Manipur.
Presiding over the ianugural function of the
administrative block and the school building,
which have been reported constructed at an
estimated cost of Rs 92 lakhs and Rs 5.38 crores
respectively with funding from DONER Ministry,
Youth Affairs and Sports Minister N Biren
maintained that the present Government has kept
its promise of providing jobs to the meritorious
players unlike the Governments in the past which
never kept their words.
Earlier giving the key note address, Director of
Youth Affairs and Sports Boby Waikhom
informed the gathering that proposal had already
made for construction of an indoor hall and an
auditorium of the Sports Academy in the 12th
Finance Commission. So far, eight staff from
Youth Affairs and Sports Department, four from
Education Department and five other contract
staff are running the Academy.
Along with development of the infrastructure of
the Sports Academy fully, there would the need
for appointing more staff, the Director noted.
He also expressed happiness that the Sports
Academy which is not even three years old has
been able to produce National level medal winner
players in Archery and Judo.
Construction of the school building,
administrative block, staff quarters, laboratory
and the hostel of the Sports Academy reportedly
began in October last year at a total estimated
cost of Rs 22 crores with funding from the
Ministry of DONER and Manipur Development
Society as the implementing agency.
The National Sports Academy at Imphal was
established in 2007 with special focus of
grooming players in five disciplines namely
Archery, Boxing, Judo, Taekwondo and
Wrestling.
DGP Y Joykumar, Chief Secretary DS Poonia,
Education Manipur L Jayentakumar, etc were
among other dignitaries who were present at the
function.

An unconscious and the Gypsy which bore the brunt of the blast and an abandoned motorcycle at Singjamei Keithel along NH-39 at about 5.30 p.m. on 19th November 2009


I
MPHAL, Nov 19 : At least three AR personnel and two civilians have been injured in a grenade attack launched by unidentified persons targeting an AR convoy. The incident occurred while troops of 34 Assam Rifles, travelling in a Gypsy and a mini-truck, came under the grenade attack at Singjamei Keithel along NH-39 at about 5.30 this evening.
The two civilians hurt in the incident include a 52 year old woman. The woman has been identified as Oinam Bimola and she was rushed to RIMS for treatment. She was manning a grocery shop at Singjamei bazar at the time of the incident.
The other civilian has been identified as Arambam Karan (24) of Hojai, Assam. He was hit by splinters on the left arm and abdomen. He has also been admitted to RIMS.
A 65-year old woman, who was selling vegetables nearby, fainted on hearing the loud explosion. She has been identified as Nepram Mani of Bashikhong Torban and was taken to RIMS for treatment.
Two of the injured Assam Rifles personnel have been taken to the unit hospital of the IGAR (S) at Mantripukhri, while another was admitted to RIMS.
The personnel admitted to RIMS has been identified as Hardan Sanwar (22) of Arunachal Pradesh while on the other hand the identities of those taken to the AR unit hospital at Mantri-pukhri could not be confirmed.
MLA of Singjamei AC I Hemochandra visited the injured persons at RIMS and strongly condemned the bomb blast.
On being contacted by The Sangai Express , Colonel GS of IGAR (S) said that three AR men were hurt in the incident and added that it was a grenade attack.
On being asked about the identities of all the three personnel, the officer said that he could not tell it ‘off hand.’
The AR team was travelling from Imphal to Thoubal when unidentified persons lobbed the hand grenade, Chinese made, at them at Singjamei Keithel near Kumar Pharmacy. The grenade exploded inside the Gypsy, which was topless.
On the impact of the blast, the Gypsy caught fire and it was seen driven for about 10 metres before it came to a halt. The AR personnel were also seen dousing the fire using water from the nearby drains.
Following the explosion, Singjamei Keithel literally broke up.
Later a number police officials including SSP L Kailun, Additional SP AK Jhaljit and Commando OC Th Krishnatombi inspected the site. A commando team recovered pin of a Chinese hand grenade about 20 metres away from the spot of explosion.
Some other people who witnessed the explosion said that the grenade might have slipped down from one of the AR personnel travelling in the Gypsy.

I
MPHAL, Nov 9 : In a chilling development, that could have far reaching repercussions, the escort commander of MLA V Hangkhanlian, Havildar Oinam Inaotomba of the 1st IRB, was allegedly beaten to death by 8 of his subordinates following a row over a missing SLR loaded with three magazines last night.

Speaking to The Sangai Express, CO of 1st IRB T Iboyaima said that the gun was recovered from the campus of the Bn Headquarters at Churachandpur today.
The CO said that the gun was deposited at the Bn Hqs by a former escort commander, when the personnel to whom the gun was issued, had gone on leave.
It was a case of communication gap, said the CO.
According to police sources, the information of the death of the Havildar was lodged with the Lamphel police station by the Assistant Commandant of the 1st IRB, N Manglemba of Bashikhong yesterday at about 11.30 pm.
As per the report filed with the police, an SLR gun with three loaded magazines and issued to Rifleman Tungachin Paite of the escort party of the MLA was found missing about 3/4 days back.
This reportedly led to high tension amongst the escort party, numbering 11, resulting in a row that led to the death of Inaotomba last night.
Incidentally at the time of the incident, two out of the 11 escort party were on leave.
The fight that ensued last night took place at the Lamphel official quarters of MLA V Hangkhanlian.
Inaotomba was brought to Shija Hospitals last night at about 8.30, but the doctors there pronounced him dead on arrival and hence the body was taken away to be deposited at RIMS morgue.
However the body was deposited at the morgue much after 8.30 pm, said sources. Officially it has been reported that the body was deposited at the morgue at 11 pm yesterday.
In the report submitted to the police, the Assistant Commandant of 1st IRB N Manglemba said that there were beating marks on the buttocks, face and other parts of the body of the victim.
The Assistant Commandant also verbally informed that the other 8 personnel of the escort party accused Inaotomba of being the man behind the missing SLR gun. However no written statement to this effect was submitted to the police.
Significantly MLA V Hangkhanlian could not be contacted for his comments on the incident. Efforts to meet him at his residence proved futile as the ‘On Tour’ notice was found put up at the gate of his quarters.
With Lamphel police registering the case, a formal intimation was sent to the CO of the 1st IRB, requesting that the eight escort personnel be handed over.
Accordingly, the eight were handed over to Lamphel police today and were booked under a murder case under IPC 302.
Meanwhile speaking to the media at the Manipur Press Club, Prem Oinam, a relative of the deceased said that they have every reason to suspect a conspiracy behind the murder.
Recalling his interaction with Inaotomba some days back, Prem said, “while he was on a two day leave some days back, Inaotomba had talked something about the missing gun and he seemed disturbed. Since he is the only man, who can be the escort commander, he had requested the Assistant Commandant of his unit to post someone, who can also be given the responsibility of the escort commander.”
Inaotomba went back to his duty after the guard commander, AS Marah informed him that one rifleman, Basant had applied for leave, recalled Prem.
“Till yesterday evening he was in touch with his family members,” said Prem and added that till evening today, the IRB authority had not given any official report about the death of Inaotomba. This is disgraceful, he added.
Asserting that they would not accept any charges levelled against a dead man, the family members demanded that all the guilty be booked and punished and warned that they would not take back the body until justice is delivered. The body is still lying at RIMS morgue.
Prem Oinam further said that the family members were deeply troubled when a team led by the Assistant Commandant of the 1st IRB came to their house at about 11 last night and conducted a search for the missing gun.
Fearing the worst, they proceeded to the quarters of MLA V Hangkhanlian last night but on reaching were told that the escort party has been changed.
The guards at the gate said that they knew nothing of any incident, said the family members.
Thereafter the family members turned back and thought of proceeding to Kangla, but changed their mind and went to Lamphel PS.
At the police station, they met the Assistant Commandant of the 1st IRB, N Manglemba, they said adding that they were told of the death of Inaotomba there.

State Devt report moots repeal of AFSPA, toe Reddy Commission report

I
MPHAL, Oct 31 : The Manipur State Develop-ment Report, prepared by the State Planning Commi-ssion has come out with a number of significant re-commendations, which if implemented in letter and spirit could have far reaching impact.
The draft report prepared by the State Planning Commission was discussed with Chief Secretary DS Poonia in the chair today and attended by top ranking Government officials.
After going through the minutes of the draft report, the Chief Secretary instructed that if any Department wants certain changes or modifications in the report, then the same may be intimated to the Planning Department, said a source while speaking to The Sangai Express today.
The draft report, a copy of which is available with The Sangai Express deals with core areas for immediate intervention in order of priority and covers a whole range of subjects such as infrastructure development, food security, sustai- nable natural resource management, employment and social security, decentralisation and governance etc.
Under decentralisation and governance, the draft report has recommended the repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act as per the Justice Jeevan Reddy Commission recommendation.
The Jeevan Reddy Commission was instituted following the huge demand to repeal the Army Act following the custodial killing of Th Manorama in 2004.
The formation of the Commission was announced by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, when he visited the State in 2004.
Other than this, the draft report also recommended extension of a more democratic and representative version of the Sixth Schedule to all the hill areas of Manipur.
The 6th Schedule has been a long pending demand of a number of tribal civil society organisations.
To give a boost to infrastructure and minimise room for incompetency, the draft report also suggested banning private contractors from constructing infrastructure.
It was also recommended that each village be provided one telecom tower, reduce restrictions on provision of cellular services in border areas to the extent feasible in order to promote communication through cellular services (a Home Ministry order) and extending and improving broadband services in all districts.
To improve road quality, monitoring the use of adulterated bitumen was also mooted.
On economic development, special emphasis was placed on the power sector, with the draft report suggesting that strategies to reduce cost be adopted. This include reducing Transmission and Distribution losses and utilising capacity to its optimum level.
The report also suggested making the idle plants operational reactivating the non-functional plants as most of the capacity created in the State are lying idle and serve as mere standbys to the regional grid.
To avoid further cost and time over runs, the report also suggested providing adequate funding to complete ongoing small and medium power projects that are acceptable on eco-sociological grounds.
Constituting a State electricity regulatory commission capable of evolving a fine balance between recovering cost and encouraging the use of power, has also been suggested.
Protecting bio-diversity also figures in the draft report and towards this it has suggested stopping rampant exploitation by illegal traders and contractors.
On agriculture, the report has suggested the setting up of a Land Commission to protect the access of women and other weaker sections to productive resources, land and forest.
Taking on the entire expenditure on growth centres as Central assistance, with a ceiling of Rs 15 crores per centre, to promote industrialisation has also been mooted in the draft report.
The draft report also suggested tapping the creative, traditional legacy of Manipur along the lines of countries such as China and Thailand and to penetrate international markets.
The State must spearhead India's economic links with ASEAN and South East Asia, mooted the report.
Encouraging adventure tourism such as rafting expeditions on the Barak river and trekking across frozen rivers on the way to Dzuko valley are some other suggestions mooted in the draft report.
The report has also suggested adopting the mother tongue as the medium of instruction at the primary level, development of books in the mother tongue, increasing the State's budget in Education etc.

Infuriated people of Kwakta enforcing the road block along Tiddim line against the killing of a man


Tension runs high at Kwakta, Torbung

IMPHAL, Oct 7 : To prevent any untoward inci-dents, following the lyn- ching a man from Kwakta by the people of Torbung, on alleged charge of trying to steal a rickshaw Thela, MLAs of Kumbi and Moi-rang A/Cs today rushed to the area to pacify the infuriated people of both Kwakta and Torbung.
The accused, who was lynched, has been identified as Abdul Hasim (45) s/o late Nasib Ali of Farm Leirak under Kwakta Nagar Pan- chayat.
According to local people of Kwakta, Abdul Hasim was a simple man who earned his livelihood by supplying water to the hotels in Kwakta Bazar apart from engaging in various odd jobs available in the hotels.
In protest against the killing, infuriated public of Kwakta blocked National Highway 150 since early morning today.
Apart from not allowing any vehicles to pass through, the protestors armed with sticks and clubs, damaged 7 to 8 vehicles including two Gypsys and one bullet proof 407 Tata Mini truck of Bishnupur District Police Commandos.
While the road block was being enforced, a public meeting was held at Kwakta Bazar during which a JAC against the brutal killing of Abdul Hasim of Kwakta Ward no. 7 was formed and various demands raised.
The demands include payment of ex-gratia, offering a suitable Government job to the bereaved family, taking up necessary action against the culprits and that public of Torbung should apologise to the people of Kwakta.
According to police, four persons have been arrested in connection with the killing of Abdul Hasim.
However, people of Torbung asserted that the four persons identified as Khaidem Ibomcha (68), his son Nungshi, Lourembam Apabi (40) and Thongam Rabi (64) have only gone along with the police after the police insisted some of the people should come for taking the injured Abdul Hasim.
A public meeting was also held at Torbung Community Hall today evening and formed a JAC demanding unconditional release of the four persons.
A member of the JAC asserted that police men who arrived on hearing news of the mob attack also joined in beating up Abdul Hasim.
At the time of taking him away in a police Gypsy, Abdul Hasim, though injured was sitting. But after around one hour, the same police team returned back saying that condition of Abdul was serious and they would not be able to take him without the accompaniment of some responsible persons. Taking serious note of the tension running high and to prevent any untoward incidents between the people of Kwakta and Torbung, additional security forces have been deployed even as the MLAs of Moirang and Torbung visited to meet the people of Kwakta and Torbung and defuse tension.Later in the evening, representatives of Kwakta JAC reportedly met Chief Minister O Ibobi and arrived at some sort of understanding on which basis the JAC would be taking back the body, according to information received by the press.

A cultural dance staged on the occasion of Irabot Day

23/7 protest turns to Ministers' houses

I
MPHAL, Sep 30 : Even as the Working Committee of the Apunba Lup has dubbed all the Ministers and MLAs who are still showing allegiance to Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh as public enemy, taking forward the ongoing public agitation over the July 23 Khwairamband Bazar incident, the two JACs formed in connection with the killing of Sanjit and Rabina have started launching agitation against the Ministers who are allegedly still faithful Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh from today.
On the first day today, members of the two JAC flung sandals at the Luwangshangbam residential gate of IFC Minister N Biren.
The protestors came together in autorickshaws from the Khurai residence of slain Sanjit and threw their respective sandals at the residential gate of the Minister.
They also shook the gate while shouting slogans demanding resignation of all the Ministers who are still showing allegiance to the Chief Minister.
Later on, talking to mediapersons, a spokesperson of the two JACs categorically stated that the public do not want the rule of Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh any more as he and as his Council of Ministers have not listened to the voice of the people. Similar agitation against the remaining Council of Ministers would also be launched, the spokesperson disclosed.
On the other hand, the Working Committee of the Apunba Lup has denounced all the Ministers and MLAs who are still faithful to Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh as the enemy of the people.
In a statement, the Apunba Lup which is spearheading the ongoing public agitation has also decried the failure of the Central leaders to take up necessary measures inspite of knowing the Khwairamband Bazar incident was indeed a fake encounter.
Central leaders should understand that such negligent attitude is one of the main causes for the people of Manipur to feel alienated, the Apunba Lup said.
Reacting to the statement issued by PRO PIB Defence Wing stressing on right to education, the Apunba Lup pointed out that the current burning issue in Manipur is right to life protection as there is no need for education to dead people.
Such statements that seems to support Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh is condemnable, the Apunba Lup added.
Meanwhile, around 100 women today reportedly offered prayer at the sacred site of Ibudhou Awang Koubru Asuppa at Lairenkabi for the success of the ongoing public agitation.

Checking UG activities State Govt to go hi-tech

I
MPHAL, Sep 29 : With the stated objective of chec-king the activities of militants as well as part of police modernisation, the State Cabinet, which met today evening, has decided to procure and instal Crime and Criminal Tracking Network System (CCTNS).
Briefing newsmen after the meeting, YAS Minister and newly appointed spokesman of the SPF Government, N Biren said that under the police modernisation drive to be taken up across the country, the Centre has set aside a sum of Rs 2000 crore. It is under this scheme, that the CCTNS will also be put up in Manipur.
Towards this end, a Memorandum of Understanding is to be inked between the State Government and the Union Home Ministry tomorrow (September 30), said N Biren.
The Centre is to bear the full cost of installing the hi-tech gadgets, said the spokesman and added that Manipur may receive anywhere between Rs 40 to 50 crores for installing the system.
For the first phase the Centre has sanctioned Rs 13 crores to Manipur, said N Biren.
The system will help the Police Headquarters to get connected with its units as well as with police stations outside the State.
Apart from bearing the cost of the system, the Centre will also bear the expenses of installing it as well as in training the personnel for operating it.
Personnel from the existing Police Department will be chosen to operate the state of the art gadget, informed the spokesman.
Apart from installing the system, the Cabinet also decided to create 27 posts of Constable drivers in the Police Department.
The Cabinet also decided to change the posts of 289 Constables to Constable drivers and also to revive the earlier decision to recruit 50 Constable drivers. The decision to recruit the 50 Constable drivers had to be rolled back due the ban on recruitment.
The 289 drivers will be absorbed from the newly recruited Constables or from those whose recruitment results are awaited.
The relaxation of the ban on recruitment is only for the Home Department not for other departments.
The Cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister also minutely discussed the prevailing situation in the State as well as the breakdown in the academic atmosphere, said Biren.
