President gives assent to Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013
| New Delhi, 03 April 2013 [ANI] --- President Pranab Mukherjee has given his assent to the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013 and it will now be called the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013. The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013 was passed by the Lok Sabha on March 19 and by the Rajya Sabha on March 21. The Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013 was moved in the Rajya Sabha by Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde where he had termed it as a 'unique law'. Shinde had then said the purpose of the bill is to provide stringent punishment also for offences like stalking, voyeurism, acid attacks and human trafficking. The Union Cabinet had earlier last month approved the amendments to the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2013 keeping the age of consent for sex to 18 instead of 16. The demand for having such a law picked up after the December 16, 2012 brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old girl in a moving bus in the national capital. |
BSNL job scam in Churachandpur, Manipur
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.

Arunachal Pradesh suffers from power crisis
Itanagar, 01 April 2013 [PTI] --- Arunachal Pradesh, with an estimated 58,000 megawatts hydro power generation potential, has been facing an acute power crisis for the past two and a half months.With the sources of rivers rapidly drying up directly impacting generation in the entire Northeast, Arunachal Pradesh is also affected due to supply shortfall.The situation has been compounded by a large number of fires being reported in the state this year, forcing consumers, particularly students, to reach for conventional energy sources like kerosene and candles.The hilly state receives between 84 MW to 34 MW during peak and non-peak hours, respectively, against a peak hour demand of 130 MW. The supply schedule goes haywire with a fluctuating supply from the NE Grid. It varies from 44 MW to 84 MW during peak hours and between 34 and 44 MW during non-peak hours, that too including the state's share of 22 to 24 MW, according to State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) Executive Engineer T Mize.Though a few mini and micro hydro power projects are generating power to meet the local needs, statistics are not available to SLDC contrary to the grid distribution mandate, Mize said.The demand for power has been on an upswing with a number of massive development projects being executed in the state.Small and medium industries are also being set up in large numbers. Criss-crossed by numerous perennial rivers, the state houses the largest hydro project in the Northeast 405 mw Ranganadi Hydro electric project (105 mw x 3 units) of the North East Electrical Power Corporation at Papum Pare district. |
Election Commission derecognises MPP - the oldest regional party of Manipur
IMPHAL, March 30 2013[TOI]--- The Election Commission has derecognised the oldest regional political party, Manipur People's Party (MPP).MPP sources said the main reason for derecognising the party, which had ruled the state for more than two terms, was that none of its candidates had won the last state assembly election in 2012 and Lok Sabha election in 2009.
Manipur state election office said copy of the EC order derecognising the MPP has been received by the office recently.
The order was passed on March 20. The party was established on December 26, 1968, by some dissident members of the then Indian National Congress with an aim to work for the protection of territorial integrity of Manipur, build up regionalism and to protect the identity of Manipuris in view of the uninterrupted inflow of "outsiders", party sources said.

Gangrape survivor denied admission by schools in Meghalaya
Churachandpur consumer club takes action
The items burnt today include tobacco products like Paras and Zarda, Meat Masala, eatable chips and mineral water bottles.
The items confiscated from more than 20 shops are said to be worth more than Rs 20 thousand. The shop keepers found selling the expired items were let off with a stern warning that their license will be cancelled if they continued to indulge in such activities.
Though there is an indication that the Government will act tough with products that can cause health hazard, many shops in Lamka are not getting the message and are selling such products openly.
The Consumer Club of Churachandpur in the past had apprehended many shopkeepers for hiding goods with the intention of hiking up the price l of popular items that include Pan and daily essential items like rice, salt, potato and sugar.

KNO condoles Moshon, killed by NSCN
IMPHAL, March 20, 2013 [TSE] --- The Kuki National Organisation has condoled the death of Moshon, Secy-Home of United Minority Liberation Army, a constituent of the Kuki National Organisation, an umbrella organisation comprising 17 armed groups, who was allegedly killed by Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak Muivah) on March 19.

The void left by Moshon's death is immense, but his sacrifice for the Kuki nation will not be in vain. His death will serve as acatalyst to fulfill the sacrifices he has made - the entire armed wing of KNO and the Kuki people will leave no stone unturned to fulfill his dream of a fully revived Kuki nation in Chandel, as in all Kukilands. All seventeen armed groups of KNO condoled Moshon's untimely demise while also praying for the family and friends he left behind.

Delhi court charged Manipurs' Iron Lady for suicide attempt
New Delhi, March 5: A court in Delhi on Monday
charged Manipur's Iron Lady Irom Sharmila Chanu with attempt to commit suicide.
On Sunday, she came to the national capital from Imphal, Manipur to appear in
the court in relation to the case where she has been charged with attempt to
commit suicide during her fast until death at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on
October 5, 2006.If convicted Sharmila, who is out on bail in the case, faces a maximum sentence of up to one year in jail. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for May 22.
The 40-year-old peace-activist is on a hunger strike for last 12 years. She is demanding the repeal of draconian Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA).
On being asked about government's stand on the controversial AFSPA, Sharmila said, "The government and the Army are colluding to cheat the people. The government is of the people, by the people and for the people. The government should control the Army also." "The government will listen. It depends on the movement of the people because we are a democracy. What I want is peace and justice, not the administration of a government that uses violence as a means for their governance," she told reporters, outside the Delhi Court on Monday.
The court said, "It is alleged against you Sharmila...that you on October 4, 2006 at about 8 pm sat at Jantar Mantar on fast unto death until 11.30 pm on October 6, 2006 and refused to undergo medical check up and thereby committed an act with an intention or knowledge that under such circumstances that death may be caused and thereby committed an offence under Section 309 and within the cognisance of this court."
The Magistrate added ,"I respect you, but the law of the land does not permit you to take your life." However, a frail, but determined Sharmila told the court, "I do not want to commit suicide. Mine is a non-violent protest. It is my demand to live as a human being. I love life. I do not want to take my life but I want justice and peace".

New Delhi, February 28, 2013: A 24-year-old woman from Manipur was allegedly molested and assaulted by her director on February 26 in the national capital. Although the victim initially filed a complaint at the Vasant Kunj Police Station, the police reportedly refused to register the FIR.
The victim, identified as Preeti (name changed), has been working at Gold Leaf Spa in Mahipalpur since October of last year.
According to Preeti, she was physically assaulted and molested around 2 p.m. on February 26 by a Thai national named Janya, who is the Director of Gold Leaf Spa and a business partner of Mr. Deepak Mittal, the spa's owner. She lodged a written complaint the same evening at Vasant Kunj Police Station. However, when she returned the next day to collect a copy of the FIR, Sub-Inspector Ravi Yadav told her that her complaint letter had been misplaced.
“I was abused, beaten, and molested inside our office by our director, Janya. I feel unsafe—she could attack me again at any time. Some of my Northeast friends have also been assaulted by her in the past,” Preeti told NE Helpline.
Dr. Alana Golmei, founding member of the North East Helpline, brought the matter to the attention of PK Malik, Station House Officer (SHO) of Vasant Kunj Police Station.

Ten NE students attack in Delhi, Two seriously injured, One admitted in ICU
No FIR Registered, No Action to Arrest the Culprits
According to the source reaching to the North East Helpline, ten North East boys from Manipur were attacked by a group of unknown people on 24 February night in Delhi University campus. While they were returning after dropping one of their friends in DU hostel, a group numbering 8 to 9 people came from behind attacked on them with sticks.

The police official has taken the footage of CCTV installed at the place where the incident took place. The police have shown the footage to the students who went to registered the complaint. The police have given assurance to arrest the culprits.
NE Helpline has contacted the Maurice Police Station and found out that no FIR is registered until the filing of this report.

Nehginpao Kipgen invited as “Country Expert for Burma” by V-Dem
Nehginpao Kipgen, general secretary of the U.S.-based Kuki International Forum (KIF) and a researcher on the politics of South and Southeast Asia with a concentration on Burma/ Myanmar, has been invited to serve as a “Country Expert for Burma/Myanmar” for a global academic research project called ‘Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem)’. The V-Dem (www.v-dem.net) is a collaborative project of eminent social scientists from different academic institutions around the world.
An invitation letter dated February 13, 2013 states that “You were chosen because you already have expertise on many aspects of the political system…..country and its history. We would be very grateful for your support for this initiative. Improvements in our understanding of democracy depend upon the participation of experts around the world.”
Kipgen in his response to the invitation, which was also posted in his facebook page, wrote “I am honored to be invited as “Country Expert” on Burma/Myanmar by Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem), a collaborative academic research project of the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg (Sweden), and the Kellogg Institute, University of Notre Dame (USA). The research theme “Measuring Degrees and Types of Democracy” relates to my area of research interest, that is, democracy, democratic transition, and democratization.”
The V-Dem project aims to “develop more nuanced measurements of democracy: distinct measures of electoral, liberal, participatory, majoritarian, consensual, deliberative, and egalitarian democracy, as well as a number of lower level components of democracy such as free and fair elections, inclusion of women and minorities, judicial independence, and many others. These qualities distinguish V-Dem from extant democracy indices such as the well-known Polity IV and Freedom House indices. V-Dem will cover all countries from 1900 to the present.”

Col Ajay Choudhury, a Territorial Army sepoy posted under him, an Indigo Airlines associate manager and three others have been accused of ferrying pseudoephedrine, used for manufacturing heroin, in three vehicles, including the Colonel's official vehicle. Police suspect the Colonel had ferried drugs at least four times in the past.
"We have estimated that the drugs are worth between Rs 15-30 crore in the international market. We caught three vehicles carrying these drugs at Pallel. The three civilians were Kukis and seem to be involved in the drug racket," said Manipur DGP Y Joykumar Singh.
"They seem to have been involved in a number of such operations before. Col Choudhury has been denying his involvement, but one of the cars carrying the drugs was alloted to him by the Army. The consignment was on its way to Moreh, the Indo-Myanmar border town," said Singh. "We had received a tip-off that a big consignment of drugs was on its way to Moreh," he added.
In New Delhi, officials said strict action will be taken if the Colonel is found guilty.
