Old issues resurfaced in Govt-NSCN (IM) talks

Kohima, Aug 12, 2020 (IANS) --- Amidst the fresh Central government-NSCN (IM) negotiations, numerous issues including the role of the government's interlocutor and Nagaland Governor R.N. Ravi and inclusion of Naga inhabited areas resurfaced.

Officials in Kohima said on Wednesday that senior officials from the Union Home Ministry and the Intelligence Bureau and leaders of the NSCN (IM) (National Socialist Council of Nagaland -- Isak-Muivah), are holding informal talks in Delhi since Monday.

While officials of the Union Home Ministry and the Nagaland government refused to disclose anything about the ongoing talks, the nine-member NSCN (IM) delegation led by General Secretary and chief negotiator of the group Muivah, expressed resentment against Ravi. The NSCN (IM) and intelligence sources said separately that while many of the 31 demands have been almost resolved, there are differences over a separate flag and separate constitution. The NSCN-IM has been strongly pushing for a separate flag and constitution.

"The government and the NSCN (IM) leaders are expected to hold a meaningful meeting after August 15 and some significant development can be expected by September," the sources told IANS on condition of anonymity.

Assam finance minister and convenor of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) in a tweet said, "I received a call from Hon HM Sri @Amit Shah to discuss about issues pertaining to enduring peace in #NorthEast. Despite being in hospital his commitment to work is unwavering. This sets a benchmark for us all. India is proud to have you as Home Minister Sir. Admiration!"

However, in the last couple of months the NSCN-IM has been criticising the central government for the delay in the talks. Doubts were also expressed in various quarters after the Nagaland Governor in a letter to Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio questioned the "grim law and order situation in the state".

The state government in a series of statements virtually rejected the Governor's observations and clarified that "the law and order situation in Nagaland is very much normal". The Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs), a conglomerate of seven armed political groups, has also said replacing Ravi as interlocutor would turn the clock back.

Meanwhile, reacting to some organisations' demand to replace Ravi as the government's interlocutor in the Naga peace talks, the 14 Apex Naga Tribal Hohos of Nagaland and the Lotha Hoho, in separate statements on Tuesday and Wednesday backed the continuance of Ravi as interlocutor.

In another development, the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union on Wednesday reiterated that there are no Nagas in their state as claimed by the Isak-Muivah faction of the NSCN. Demanding to keep Arunachal Pradesh out of the purview, the AAPSU also rejected claims that there are Nagas living in their state while making it clear that any "territorial changes" while finding a solution would not be tolerated.

"The decades-old Naga peace process should not affect Arunachal Pradesh and its natives in any way," the AAPSU said in reaction to the Centre's reported decision to conclude the negotiations with various Naga groups by September.

Nagalim, a long pending demand of the NSCN (IM), encompasses the Naga-inhabited areas of Myanmar and the north-eastern states bordering Nagaland. The Nagalim map the outfit published a few years back includes Tirap, Changlang, Longding, Anjaw, Lohit and Namsai districts of Arunachal Pradesh.

Student and social organisations in Assam and Manipur are also opposed to any settlement that challenges the territorial integrity of their states. These organisations include the Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chhatra Parishad and the United Committee Manipur.

The NSCN (IM), which held several rounds of negotiations with the Indian government in Delhi as well as outside India after signing a ceasefire pact in August 1997, is one of the most influential rebel groups in the northeastern region.

The Bharatiya Janata Party headed government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had signed a "framework agreement" with the NSCN-IM leadership in 2015.

Homage to a Naga-forlorn dead sister

No Answer to My Soulful Query

NEW DELHI, AUG 12, 2020 --- The untimely death of our  naga sister late Mhonyani Kikon in Goa away from her loved ones back home in Nagaland brought shriek pain in my heart.

- Only what is haunting me as usual , how long our sisters and brothers from hills of north  will migrate  for bread and butter in cities ?

- Really, do we have no enough resources to feed our youth that they have to migrate to cities for meager pay to earn their livelihood ....?

- It's heartbreaking for me help to bury them in cities in strange graveyard, or cremation done amidst strangers in crematoriums or send their dead bodies in coffins back home of our NE youth dying in cities. Its more painful many are in distress due to lack of jobs and and opportunities back home... compel them to hang around even for petty jobs in cities, lonely, homesick, bereft of family love and care ....

- Many a times victims of exploitations, silently crying throughout nights hoping for new dawn ....where they too can smile, being loved and cared by their love ones back homes in the foothills of patkai hills with birds chirping around, church bell ringing every sunday for worship .....here in cities, many died ubcared, unloved with moist eyes in their  last hour on earth......longing to be hugged by their mum, dad, sisters, brothers ....and finally dying with that pang of pain in their reckoning hours of death in strange cities ....just only having hallucination of being at home amidst her loved ones ...

- Adieu Kikon sister !
Rest in peace and be with Lord in heaven ...away from this valley of pains and sorrows on earth !
Amen !

- I  dream someday,  people from other parts of India and world will flock to NE states for jobs and business.....
😔

Infant baby died due to doctor's negligence in Ccpur

LAMKA, AUG 08, 2020 -- An infant baby (yet to be named) allegedly died due to medical negligence in Lamka, Churachandpur district, Manipur on August 6, 2020 at around 8:30pm.

The deceased infant (a 5 day old baby boy) was born to Mr Lamlompiak and Mrs Ngainunfel of Dorcas Veng, New Lamka.

The Young Paite Association (YPA) and Village Authority of Dorcas Veng submitted a memorandum to the Government of Manipur seeking: (i) Disciplinary action against the health professionals on duty during the said incident should be initiated as per the Orders of Principal Secretary, Health & FW, dated August 6, 2020. (ii) Ex-gratia should be given to the parents of the bereaved family for the professional negligence leading to the demise of an unnamed baby.

Upon reaching the hospital casualty at around 6:30pm, the nurse casually examined the baby and took temperatures while the doctor on duty didn't even bother to look at. Contrary to the high expectation of the already panicked parents, the baby was given generic drug prescription and casually asked to return "tomorrow and attend the Out Patient Department (OPD)  Service" without admitting them. The parents were compelled to reluctantly heed the advice of the health professionals, took the baby and returned home around 8pm.

Shortly after reaching home, the already weakened baby could not tolerate the deteriorating condition, succumbed and died around 8:30pm.

In this unfortunate circumstances, the Young Paite Association and Village Authority of Dorcas Veng took serious note of the situation and determine that it is a case of medical negligence and unprofessional behaviour of the duty personnel which caused the death of the baby. And such dereliction of duty by public servants on whom people's lives depend could not be tolerated without proper investigation and due disciplinary action.

Pregnant woman died alongwith her unborn baby after 5 hospitals denied help

IMPHAL, AUG 08, 2020 -- A pregnant woman alongwith her unborn baby allegedly died due to medical negligence by health providers in Imphal on the early morning of 6th August, 2020.

The deceased Mrs KANPATLIU KAMEI (20) W/o  Roshan Balang, a resident of Puichi (Oktan) Village, Haochong sub-division, Noney district, died alongwith her unborn baby due to dereliction of medical assistance by five hospitals in Imphal city.

"A pregnant woman expired early this (06-08-'20) morning because she was denied medical attention-getting for delivery in all the hospitals they approached at Imphal. They went weeping and begging the whole night through but all the hospitals they approached turned them away heartlessly. Around 4:00 AM she was passed away at the entrance of Shija Hospital," sources said.

Acvording to sources, the pregnant woman approached Senapati District Hospital on August 5, 2020 around 2PM. The doctors there assured that delivery will be done by them. However, around 10.30 P.M, they advised the patient party to go to Imphal.

Consequently, they rented a private vehicle and reached JNIMS around 12.30 A.M. However, in total act of irresponsibility and negligence, she was refused to be treated even though she possessed a Covid-19 Negative Test Result, and in need of emergency help. In a rare inhumane act of cruelty, the same nurses who knows the danger more than anybody else refused to give her entry saying there is no doctor to treat her.

In desperation, they requested one young man working in a pharmacy at Porompat to take them to other hospitals as the late patient party have not much idea about hospitals in Imphal. Fortunately, the young man agreed and took them to RIMS.

The same denial was repeated in RIMS too even after showing the Covid-19 Negative Test Result and knowing the critical condition of the patient.

Thereafter, they approached Imphal Hospital but was refused admission again inspite of the serious condition of the patient.

Next, they approached another two private hospitals, whose names are unknown to the patient party. There too, they were denied access.

As a last resort, they went to Shija Hospital, where she and the unborn baby died at the casualty entrance at around 4 A.M before the patient party could approach the hospital authorities.

This is the heart rending tragedy of a young mother and an unborn baby who died unnecessarily due to negligent, irresponsible and inhumane act of the doctors and nurses, who denied the patient help inspite of knowing the outcome of their cruel and inhuman act.

The Inpui Naga Union (INU), Inpui Naga Women's Union (INWU) and All Inpui Students' Union (AISU) on Friday (07 Aug'20) strongly condemned the dead of pregnant women in itsstrongest term and has appealed for a speedy justice.

"We are perturbed by the careless indifferent attitude of the different government hospitals particularly JNIMS and RIMS and Imphal Hospital, Raj Medicity and Shija Hospital recognized as the topmost government medical and private institution in the state towards a tribal and most importantly for denying the right to access of healthcare to a pregnant woman", said in a joint press statement.

The apex organizations of the Inpuis Naga sought the Health Department and Government of Manipur to look into the following concerns of the people with sincerity and urgency.

We would ask the Enquiry Committee to be fair and just in their investigation. Any influence by any vested party in an attempt to protect any person involved in this medical negligence will not be accepted. We are ready to offer all the necessary information to the Enquiry Committee.

We would urged the state government to expedite and check the various health infrastructures in the hills particularly in the remote districts, subdivision and villages. And to make necessary arrangements for maternity care in all districts and sub-divisions with provision for ambulances in emergency cases.

To provide compensation to the bereaved family, the statement demanded.

ZT:  Why do you choose civil services as a career?

NLT: During my work in a mission hospital in Assam I was exposed to poverty and sufferings of which I had no idea about. Just treating the people medically was not giving me any satisfaction and I wanted to do more. Hence my shift to the civil services.

ZT:  When did you start the preparation for CSE? When should one begin to prepare for this exam?

ZT:  In the course of preparation, one is faced with many problems, queries and diffulties; where should one go for help or advice, especially the students staying in remote areas?

NLT:  A PERSON WHO HAS GIVEN THIS EXAM SERIOUSLY IS THE BEST GUIDE. There is no other option even for those people staying in remote areas.

ZT: When and why did you come to Delhi?

NLT: I came to Delhi in July, 2011. It was for the purpose of preparing for the CS Exam.

ZT: Have you ever face any sort of discrimination in Delhi?

NLT: Nothing such.

ZT: Why do sometimes people from the North East face discrimination in Delhi? What is the main possible reason according to you?

NLT: Frankly it's because we look different and not all the people of this country know that there is a place called Manipur.

ZT: What role would you like to play for the development of the North East regions in general and Manipur in particular?

NLT: There are a lot of things I want to do. But I would like to concentrate on roads, education and tourism.

ZT: How can corruption be eradicated from our society as well as government institutions?

NLT: Corruption can't be eradicated by one man army. Everyone should do their bit in eradicating this problem. Even though it might take some time I believe that this evil will be removed.

ZT: What step would you suggest Manipur government should take up for those Civil Services aspirants, who are economically weak?

NLT: The government is currently giving incentives and I believe that it is a very important step.

ZT: What is your view on education system in Manipur?

NLT: It is good, but improvements can always be made. May be a shift from routine learning to creative learning and practical based learning will help in improving the education system.

ZT: How do you foresee your future as an administrator?

NLT: I see myself as a bringer of development wherever I am posted and I see myself as working mainly for the poor and the weak so that no one is left out.

ZT: What would you suggest to the aspiring candidates?

NLT: Learn to be creative and always  be curious about new things. Enjoy preparing for the  UPSC and don't let it be a burden.

ZT: Thank you very much for sparing your time and wishing you all the best in your future endeavours!

NLT: Thank You!
