Women burn effigy of Churachandpur DC

CHURACHANDPUR – Following the boycott of deputy commissioner of Churachandpur, Shyam Lal Poonia by Thaduo-Kuki Students’ Union (TKSU), there were also strong protests today morning (14-08-2018) against the DC by women folks which were held at two main intersections leading to the DC office approach road.

The protestors used placards that read ‘Shyam Lal Poonia, who are you to object Kuki Inpi Manipur?’, ‘Remove Shyam Lal Poonia from Churachandpur’, ‘Shyam Lal Poonia do not play with the sentiment of Kuki’ amongst others.

Though the DC failed to turn up at his office due to other official engagements, the protesters burned an effigy of him at the protest site shouting slogans. The protestors said that the agitation for removal of the DC will continue and will be intensified if the need arises.

It may be mentioned that TKSU boycotted the DC after he conducted cleanliness drives at different government offices during the 24-hour total shutdown called by Kuki Inpi Manipur last week. TKSU claimed that the DC disregarded the Kuki and their sentiments and is incompetent. The students’ union also demanded the removal of the DC from the district. ~ Imphal Free Press

In the 19th century the conjoint twins were called Siamese twins which was the result of two conjoint brother from Siam( now Thailand) who were made famous by circus manager who showcase them in his show.

Statistics point out that approximately half of the conjoins are still born with the survival rate less than 25% who were mostly girls. The most recent news about the conjoint twins , that shocked the world, was when two Iranian born girls Miss Laleh and Ladan Bijali who were joint at their head died after being operated by 28 top specialists from the Globe aided by more them 100 staff after a marathon 58 hrs operation at Singapore hospital. The two ladies aged 29 were highly educated and the failed operation triggered a debate on the ethic of this of operation though they said girl volunteers themselves to be separated.

ZORO snubs 3rd World Zomi Convention

KANGGUI, Aug 19, 2013 [TSE] --- The ZoRO (Zo Re-unification Organization) has decided not to take part in the 3rd World Zomi Convention/3rd Global Zo People Convention to be organised by Zomi Council of Manipur.

according to ZoRO general HQs, Aizawl (Mizoram) the Convention being organised by the Zomi Council of Manipur is not sponsored by the ZoRO.

ZoRO said that the Peoples' Conference Party of Mizoram and Zomi National Congress Manipur jointly hosted the 1st World Zo Reunification Convention on May 19 and 20, 1988 at Champhai in Mizoram which is always called "Zo Khawpui", where the generic name 'Zo' coined by different writers was deliberated for naming the Zo nation and hence instituted "Zo Reunification Organization" for their social, cultural, economic, spiritual and political affinity.

Different Zo-folks from different parts of the world also adopted a joint resolution to unify all the Zofate (sons of Zo) within the Constitution of India in the Convention, the ZoRO HQs said.

It further informed that the Zofate (Sons of Zo) are under tripartite divisions of India, Myanmar and Bangladesh since the British period.

Realizing that it is the UNO where to put up their aspiration for reunification and not within the framework of Indian Constitution taking into account that it is not appropriate to put up the issue from one country under the supervision of one political party, they resolved to sustain the issue under the banner of NGO.

Consequently the 2nd World ZoRO Convention was convened at Vanapa Hall, Aizawl in July 1991 where a fresh ZoRO (Zo Reunification Organization) was constituted thereby keeping it aloof from any political party keeping in mind the decision of the Chin-Lushai Conference of 1892 at Fort William in Kolkata.

Hence, the ZoRO, acting from different angles as an independent organization for reunification of all Zofates participated in sessions of the World Indigenous Peoples under the auspices of UN namely UNWGIP, UNPFII, EMRIP and other seminars and training conducted in respect of the rights of the Indigenous Peoples of the World.

It continues to participated in such sessions from 1999 till date. Therefore ZoRO does not feel it imperative, as of now, to conduct convention of all Zofates since it finds no other compelling issues, said the ZoRO General HQs.

Over 300 houses destroyed in CCpur storm

 

 Lamka [Manipur], May 5, 2013 [The Sangai Express]: Three days after a destructive windstorm hit the district, it has been now evident that no part of the district was spared by the spell of triple storms with latest reports indicating that houses destroyed by the storm would be well beyond 300.

On the night of May 1 a strong gale hit the district and a day later, on May 3, a another spell of hailstorm again hit the district causing immense devastation, much more than it was initially assumed.

Addressing the Press at his chamber, ADC Chairman Langkhanpau Guite said over 74 houses were destroyed and at least 69 of them beyond redemption in New Lamka's Khominthang area alone.

The Chairman said 23 houses were destroyed in V Munhoi village, another 4 in Kanan Veng, 34 at New Lamka, 28 at Rengkai, 18 at Lungthul in Thanlon sub-division, 3 in P Sezol under Henglep sub-division along with the community hall, 7 in Suangpek also in Thanlon sub-division, 3 in Kotlian, 12 in Senvon and 11 in Parvachawm both located under Tipaimukh sub-division, 25 or so in Saikot area, 13 in Mission Veng, 14 in Saiton area, 31 in B Vengnom area including a Sunday School and a school at New Boljang, 9 totally and 15 partially damaged at Zenhang Lamka area and a Church at Pherzawl in Tipaimukh sub-division.

He also said that 5 schools; Thenmol JB School, Seilal Veng JB School, Lhangmol JB school, Tuithapi JB School, and Sanglel JB School all run by the ADC were damaged by the triple storms but nevertheless cited that flouting of construction quality norms as one of the main reason for the damage.

'Most of the schools have no iron rods on the pillar or has no pillar at all. The pillar portion were just coloured in a fashion that it appears to be an authentic pillar but without a proper pillar there,' he said adding it would be pertinent for all those involved in constructing such building to hold a soul searching and that similar practices were not repeated in future.He however did not mention any form of penalty that will be initiated against the contractors that flouted the construction norms.

Data available with the District Disaster Management Committee indicated that about 150 houses were completely devastated while about two times the number to be partially damaged. The number however would continue to increase as reports from some interior area were still awaited.

Three relief camps were set-up to accommodate the families whose belonging are completely shattered. Two of the camps are located at Khominthang with the local MDC and Executive Member ADC and incharge of Education M Gouzamang Guite bearing all the burden of running the camp. Another camp was set-up at B Vengnom by MDC Khaipao.

At PT Sports complex, one of the relief camps that housed about 31 families 23 year-old mother of one slept on a hostel bed her leg bandaged for the wound she received while trying to flee from her falling house. Recalling her ordeal she said she was cooking when the hailstorm struck early yesterday.

Suddenly their houses collapsed and its roof blown-off. While trying to escape, the cooking oil she had heated to fry her morning meal pour-on her leg causing her immense injury. It was only after the intervention of the local MDC that she was taken to hospital for treatment.

'The loss we have suffered made me numb and careless; I could not afford to care myself. All my concern was for my baby boy who turned one and a half years old. He has fever and how on earth could I care to get myself admitted at the hospital,' she told The Sangai Express today. When asked about her future plans, all she could said was 'I don't know.' Her husband a daily labourer she said was working to assemble something their family could restart their life with out of the rumble from from their devastated and rented house.

She was treated of her wound today with the insistence of the local MDC. When contacted the MDC also in-charge of Education said he has rope in the services of SSPP, the Paite Students' Welfare Association to help the victims out but will bear all the expenses himself. He said he had instructed the SSPP to collect the data of all those kids in the relief camps who lost their text book and assured that he will arrange a new set of books for all of them. 'The calamity is beyond our control but I want my people to be assured that I will left no stone unturned to restore their life and education with whatever means that was available before me,' he said with a matter of serenity.

The eldest son of Health minister Phungzathang Tonsing, Khanthang Tonsing and his sister have also conducted a spot visit of about a hundred houses destroyed by the storm yesterday and bearing the heavy rain. The Deputy Commissioner and Chairperson the district disaster management committee Jacintha Lazarus is out of stationed attending a training course at Mussourie but we are trying our best to fill the gap and present a reasonable response to the calamity, said an official.

It is also learnt that MLAs from the district including TN Haokip, Vungzagin Valte and Ginsuanhau have rushed to their respective constituencies along with relief materials.

CCpur police cracks down on vehicle lifting racket

LAMKA, April 3 [IFP]--- The crackdown of the Churachandpur police under its OC Elvis Tunglut on a two-wheeler lifting racket in the district continued today. The owners of the two wheelers recovered yesterday have been identified and the owners are awaiting for the formal official procedures before they can reclaim their stolen vehicles.

It is learnt that some of the vehicles recovered yesterday were stolen as early as last year.

It may be recalled that the police of Churachandpur district had initiated its operation against the vehicle lifters acting on the complaints from the public particularly from the Phailian Welfare Committee.

The committee had caught one Paulalzawm (24), son of L Goupi of Chengkonpang presently staying at Tuibuang veterinary quarter on suspicion of the said person being a two wheeler lifter on April 1 and handed over to the police which led to the further arrest of Md Sana (30), son of Md Ibotombi of Kwakta presently staying at Tuibuang as a tailor.

The subsequent questioning of the two further led to the arrest of Md Sirajuddin (18), son of Md Sahabuddin of Kwakta Ward no 5 by 9:30 am at Terakhongbi village on the National Highway 150 yesterday.

This exercise by the district police  led to the recovery of one Activa Scooter, one R-15 and a Pulsar 220 motorbike.

Two police teams operating from early morning till the evening  led to the recovery of the Activa Scooter and other two wheelers.

The police continued its crackdown  today hoping to make more arrest and recover more vehicles.

The District SP also told IFP that with the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System (CCTNS) Project of the Government set to be implemented soon, it will help the police in fighting such crimes.

BSNL job scam in Churachandpur, Manipur

A bogus company which operates by the name of Broadcasting Service Network Ltd. and projecting itself as a 3G Indian Mobile Service has been duping persons seeking employment by giving them fake appointments in their fictitious company.

The ‘clients’ are charged in the tune of Rs 2 lacs to 7 lacs for a post equivalent to their qualification.

The main office of the ‘company’is located at Lamboi Khongnangkhong, Imphal West and comes under the Lamphel Police Station jurisdiction. There is no banner or signpost which confirms the existence of the company.

Sources mentioned that the scamsters in question started recruiting people from March 2012 onwards.

The modus operandi of the culprits is to engage touts for roping in potential job seekers in their fraudulent firm. What is required is for a person to hand over 8 passport photos, proof of qualification and an appointment letter, which is given at the office once the entrant doles out the money.

The ‘appointed’ person then gets a cut if another candidate is roped in.

The post available ranges from security guards, peons and officer levels.

The officials are termed as assistant zonal officers,zonal officers, managers etc.

Sources further confirmed that the company has a policy of recruiting about a thousand staff from the State and was subsequently to be posted throughout the northeast and other districts of the State.

The scamsters had also opened makeshift offices at Jiribam, Kakching, Churachandpur, Saikhul, Moreh and Ukhrul among other areas. It has been learnt that at least more than 600 individuals have been ‘appointed`.

The ‘BSNL’ acronym created confusion among the applicants and the local BSNL office at Babupara and officials were approached by the job seekers to inquire if there are any posts available.

The culprits operated on the pyramid scheme model or Ponzi scheme. The money of one client was further distributed to the person and others. Thus, the money collected was distributed to the new arrivals and the other staff.

It was observed at Lamboi Khongnangkhong that persons within various age groups came smartly dressed and for ‘work’ at the head office.

But the `staff` were fobbed off with the explanation that `the  3-G equipments were set to arrive in Imphal only in April 2013. As a result, the `office goers` mixed among themselves, sat on a table at the Lamboi Khongnangkhong park and whiled the time.

Ironically, they did get their salary which was collected from them in the first place.

The `salary` ranged from Rs 3000 per month to Rs 8,000 depending on their job specifications.

Further remuneration was promised after the machinery arrived and the proper commencement of work.

The scam came into light when Churachandpur police busted the makeshift office on March 9.

A high ranking police officer of the district said that the matter was beinginvestigated and the office had no credible documents to support their claim. “They did not even have fake documents,” the officer maintained.

The scamsters had opened office at Saikot and appointed about 109 persons. It was learnt that the appointed individuals from Churachandpur wanted to open an office formally by inviting dignitaries and putting up a signboard.

But, the matter was hushed down by the ‘managers’ that such activity may invite unnecessary problems from the underground organization. There was one episode of a woman appointee’s handycam being snatched by the managers as filming of the office was not permitted.

The self appointed joint director I Kunjakishor,–, s/o Pradeep Singh of Waiton Awang Leikai, Deputy Chairman, A Ibochouba Singh—of Sagolband Yengkhom Leirak and executive member , I Nilamani Singh,54, s/o I Ibobi of Lamboi Leikai has been arrested by the police. They have been remanded to police custody for 10 days.
