Gangte Students’ Org Condemns Assam Police Brutality

Press Release
March 14, 2018

The recent bedlam that occurred along the Mizoram-Assam border is too disheartening to learn. At least 49 students of Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) were hurt in the disorderly situation where the security personnel used lathi (cane) to charge these peaceful protestors as well as few journalists.

The Gangte Students’ Organisation, General Headquarters expresses its heartfelt discontentment over the issue and reprimands the unrefined act of the Assam Police against the peaceful protestors. The student body wondered why excessive and brutal forces were spent on the peaceful demonstrators who were mostly students. This undemocratic action perpetrated by the guardians of law is uncalled for, and the perpetrators of this atrocious crime should be punished according to the law of the land. The situation could have been controlled without violence.

In this regard, Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba has convened a meeting of the chief secretaries of Mizoram and Assam on March 20 to resume dialogue on the boundary dispute between the two states. We hope this dialogue will bring a peaceful solution to both sides at the earliest.

We also express our deep sympathy to the victims and bear the same grief while stating that we will join hands with our Mizo brethren and stand for our rights so that justice shall prevail.

Mizoram CM Condemns Assam Police Firing at Border, Seeks Centre’s Intervention

Aizawl, March 12, 2018: Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla has strongly condemned the firing incident by Assam Police at Mizo youths on the Mizoram-Assam border near Bairabi on March 9, terming the act as "unfortunate and uncalled for." In a letter addressed to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, the Chief Minister expressed deep concern over the incident and urged the Centre to intervene immediately to restore peace and initiate boundary dialogue between the two states.

The letter, dated March 12, 2018, highlights the recurring nature of border clashes between Mizoram and Assam, owing to the still-undemarcated common boundary. Thanhawla emphasized that these clashes cause severe hardship to residents in the fringe areas and disrupt normal life.

Recalling the last round of dialogue between the two states, which took place in 1995–96 at the level of Chief Secretaries, the Mizoram CM pointed out that efforts to escalate the talks to the level of Chief Ministers were thwarted after the Assam Chief Minister declined participation.

“I therefore solicit your good office to intervene in the matter so that peace is restored and boundary dialogue is resumed at the earliest,” Thanhawla wrote in his letter to the Union Home Minister.

The incident has sparked widespread concern in Mizoram, with political and civil society groups calling for immediate measures to prevent further escalation. The Centre’s response is now awaited as tensions remain high along the disputed border region.

ATSUM Shuts Down ZEO Offices in Manipur Hills Over Digitization Row

Imphal | March 9, 2018 — The All Tribal Students’ Union Manipur (ATSUM) has announced the immediate closure of all Zonal Education Offices (ZEOs) in the hill districts of Manipur, launching its first phase of protest against the state government’s alleged inaction on the issue of decentralizing the digitization of service books of Education (S) department employees.

In a press communiqué issued today, Micah Kamei, Secretary of Information & Publicity, ATSUM, expressed deep disappointment over the government’s refusal to grant an audience to discuss the matter, stating that their requests for meetings with the Education Minister were denied on both February 24 and March 8.

The crux of ATSUM’s protest lies in the decision to centralize the digitization process at the Directorate of Education (S) in Imphal, instead of allowing the process to be carried out at the respective ZEO offices in the hill districts. The student body argues that such a move would dilute the powers previously held by Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDOs) and ZEOs, and disrupt administrative efficiency in the region.

“The directive appears to be a scheme to strip ZEOs of their existing authority,” the statement read, adding that proper governance demands that ZEO offices be equipped with the necessary infrastructure to manage and store service records locally.

While ATSUM clarified that it is not against the digitization of service books, it warned that centralizing the storage in Imphal would lead to logistical hardships for personnel from remote areas, including prolonged travel times, high financial burdens, and a weakening of the local command structure. It also criticized the move as contradictory to the state government's much-touted "Go to the Hills" campaign.

“If digitization at the district level is not currently feasible due to lack of infrastructure, the government should first upgrade those facilities before proceeding,” the union stated.

ATSUM has warned of intensifying its agitation with further forms of protest if its demand for decentralized digitization is not addressed.

Zomi Idol: Beyond Imposed Boundaries

Global Zomi Voice Echoes in Zomi Idol

Transcending the cocooned tribal mindset and thinking ahead, Pu T Gougin started pan-Zo or pan-Zomi solidarity movement to mobilise co-ethnic members or Zo people in Manipur, Mizoram and Myanmar in the 1950s. The movement eventually created a strong global Zo community and its aspirations to exist as one people cutting across all imposed boundaries found resonance in the Global Zomi Idol 2015.

TULSA, Oklahoma in the United States of America hosted the grand finale round of the much waited and coveted “Global Zomi Idol 2015 Contest” from 2-4 July, 2015. Marred by a few visa hiccups, the mega event otherwise made an impressive statement of unified Zomi people and its sustaining tradition in the face of westernization.

Seven popular and famous Zomi singers from all over the world — selected through contests held locally in countries with mared presence of Zomis – participated in the historic finale organised under the aegis of Zogam Artistes Association (India), Zomi Music Upliftment Society (Myanmar), and Global Zomi Inkuan (Zomi Community) USA. The list of the contestants was further narrowed down and the global event culminated at Tulsa.

Traditional Summer Fieldwork Begins in Thangkhal Hills

As winter slowly came to an end, the Thangkhal people began their work at the start of summer. These activities took place in the month of March 2018, when the cold winds faded and the hills became ready for labour once again. Men and women walked together to the steep slopes early in the morning, carrying simple tools, baskets, and food for the day.

The first task was clearing the fields. Burnt tree stumps and dry branches left after winter were removed, and the soil was loosened with care. Work was done in groups along the hillside, with everyone knowing their role. Some dug the earth, while others cleared the land to prepare it for rice cultivation.

By midday, the workers gathered on the open slope to rest. Meals were shared, stories were told, and gentle laughter echoed across the hills. These moments strengthened community bonds and renewed their energy.

These photos were shared by Rev. Thanglet, Pastor of S. Phaiza village, who was working closely with the villagers in preparing the rice fields.

Life in Thangkhal Hills

Life in the Thangkhal Hills is filled with smiles, hard work, and togetherness. In this beautiful land surrounded by hills, people live close to nature and to one another. Every season brings new work in the fields, but no one works alone — they work side by side, sharing laughter and simple joys.

In the photo, women rest under and upon a tree after a long day’s work. Their cheerful faces show the strength and unity of the Thangkhal community. They take pride in helping each other, whether it is farming, cooking, or caring for the young and the old.

Their way of life is peaceful and full of harmony. They may not have much in terms of wealth, but their hearts are rich with friendship, love, and understanding. The hills echo with their laughter and songs, a reminder that true happiness grows where people live in unity and peace.

Just a simple click that says a thousand words — a glimpse of love, labour, and life in the Thangkhal Hills.
