CM warns Drug Peddlers to either surrender or face consequences

IMPHAL — Chief Minister Shri N. Biren Singh warned drug peddlers and dealers operating in the State to either surrender or face consequences of the stringent action which will be taken against them. He was addressing the media at the Chief Minister's Secretariat today regarding drugs menace in the State.

He continued that any person arrested with illegal drugs, regardless of quantity, would face compulsory jail term of one year which will be extendable upto two years under relevant act. He added that the State Police would file a case to any person found with illegal drugs regardless of quantity possessed. However, uses of drugs for treatment of addicts at rehabilitation centres under the supervision of doctors would be exempted.

   The Chief Minister mentioned that the situation of drug menace in the State is still alarming although the police forces had seized many illegal drugs during the last five years under the War on Drugs-I Campaign. As such, the State Government will be putting much effort to totally root out drug menace from the State under War on Drugs-II. He informed that the State Government had recently re-constituted the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) led by IGP- zone-III Nishit Kumar Ujjwal which had started functioning. The task force would not compromise to any pressure from any person or group and would work sincerely, according to law, with the objective to root out drug menace in the next two years.

    Maintaining that any negligence on the part of police, thereby letting the drug peddlers to escape, will not be excused, Shri N. Biren added that they should work dutifully to nab drug peddlers at any cost. He further stated that the State Police should make legal authorities aware of the drugs related situation in the State and also provide protections to judges and lawyers from any undue influence.   He informed that the Director General of Police had been to open outposts with 5 to 10 police personnel at every village, where illegal trafficking of drugs is frequently carried out. The Anti-Narcotics Task Force had also been empowered to procure necessary vehicles and other equipment, he added.

    He also informed that drone surveys will be conducted to locate all the poppy plantation areas. Assam Rifles and Central Narcotics Force will also be deployed in addition to the State Police to root out poppy plantations. Home Minister Shri Amit Shah had also expressed a positive note to provide the personnel for the same, Shri N. Biren added.

    Relating the issue faced in natural conceiving by young couples in the State, according to a report from Health Department, to mass uses of intoxicants, he stated youths nowadays had started using intoxicants as a fashion. Such behaviour had posed a question on our future generations, he added. He, therefore, warned that no person involved in drug trafficking would be excused even on grounds of earning their living by carrying out such illegal activities. There are many respectful ways to earn a living, he added.

    Regarding the indefinite bandh called by the Southern Angami Public Organisation, Shri N. Biren informed that the State Government had written a letter to the Nagaland Government and a copy of the same had also been sent to the Home Minister. The police outpost is purely within the territorial boundary of Manipur and as such, the Government will not compromise the State boundary under any pressure, he added. He further stated that the issue will be resolved soon through diplomatic ways. (DIPR)

Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) demands KUKI-CHIN STATE in Bangladesh

THE KUKI-CHIN NATIONAL FRONT (KNF), the political organization of the small ethnic groups of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), demands a separate State in the CHT of Bangladesh with full-fledged autonomy to the present government. 

The Kuki-Chin National Development Organization (KNDO) now known as Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) was established in 2008 with some educated circles of the backward and disadvantaged Kuki-Chin communities (of Bawm, Pangkhua, Lushai, Khumi, Mru & Khiang). 

In the first phase, KNDO (Kuki-Chin National Development Organization) was established to promote economic development, preservation of cultural features, protect land grabbing and to establish harmony and peace in the backward region and backward small communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. 

For more than a decade, KNF leaders have accused of discriminatory and step-motherly behavior by both larger communities and the government in their inhabited regional lands. The leaders of the organization have also expressed their anger over the government. 

Map: KNF demand map for Kuki-Chin State. From the desk of KNF & KNA.

In 2015 the KNDO submitted their memorandum to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh demanding separate budget from the budgets of three district councils of the CHT, the CHT Development Board and the CHT Ministry. Their demands are getting tougher and tougher as the government has not taken any action. The organization has recently claimed that the entire region from Sajek Valley in the northeastern part of Chittagong Hill Tracts to the southeast and the entire region in the eastern part of Chittagong Hill Tracts is their ancestral territory (namely Baghaichari, Juraichari, Borkol, Bilaichari, Rwangchari, Ruma, Thanchi, Lama and Alikdam). 

The KNF demands an autonomous region with a self-governing administration, or a “territorial council” called the “Kuki-Chin Territorial State”, with full-fledged autonomy. Although this organization, in initial period, is officially registered, it became an armed branch in 2016 due to special needs. 

In the early days, the armed wing was named the Kuki-Chin National Volunteers, or KNV. This KNV secretly conducted its organizational activities peacefully for several years. Later, they developed relations with the rebel groups in Manipur state and Chin Hills of Burma.

Later in the same year, the Central Committee sent several hundred members of the organization to Manipur for military training.

Later, hundreds of active members were sent to Kachin, Karen Province and Manipur for guerilla training.

In 2019, after completion of the infantry commando training, hundreds of armed men returned to the CHT, their well-trained armed groups remain inactive. The leaders of this KNF organization are all Christians and the other political organizations in the Chittagong Hill Tracts called JSS and the other regional political organisations are led by the Buddhist Chakmas. 

The group has also called on the international community to intervene their problems internationally. The aim of this organization is to establish a separate and autonomous region. 

The KNF urged the government to solve their problem by accepting their demands as soon as possible. Otherwise, the organization will call for a strictly armed movement. They currently have three commando force units. 

At present the number of members (armed and unarmed active members) of this organization in Mizoram and Chittagong Hill Tracts is about 3000-4000. 

Recently, the KNF has warned the present government that if their demands are not accepted, the armed movement will be forced to take a difficult shape. Therefore, the KNF guerilla leaders urge the government to take immediate steps to avoid bloodshed and let their region be peace.

First Church in Thangkhal Village | Pu Khupkhochin

 

This is the first church among the Thangkhals, built in T. Khuangkhai village under the leadership of Pu Selzagin, in the year 1943. The church was inaugurated by Evangelist (Pu) Thawngluan, who worked as a missionary among the Thangkhals from 07 March 1939 to 1948. This church came to be known as the first among the Thangkhal Christians.

With the Chief of T. Khuangkhai Pu KHUPKHOCHIN (age 83)

in his residence on 08 January, 2022. 

Pu Khupkhochin is a retired Thangkhal Christian pastor who was baptized by Pastor Thawngluan, 

in 1967. 
His father, Pu Selzagin and mother, Pi Donzavung also accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

“One day, my father, who was very old, felt sick so much so that he wanted to offer sacrifice to our forefathers’s unknown god. But we advised him we are believers (tapidaw) of Christ, such an offering is against our faith. We should not perform offerings to unknown gods like unbelievers (lawki) does. Then he obeyed us.”

 “My father, while on his sickbed, told me he happened to sit on an airplane and saw the heaven with his own eyes. After seeing this vision, my father ventured out into villages preaching the gospel.... Nobody told him to do so. Until his death, he stopped drinking wine (Zu).”

The first Christians of Southern Manipur

Elder Thangneirum

(died 1939), 

the first convert of the missionaries at Senvon

The year 1910 was a turning point in the history of Manipur, especially for Churachandpur. Aizawl-based Welsh missionary Watkin R. Roberts, along with Mr. Lungpau and Mr. Thangkai, who were studying in Aizawl, came to Senvawn village in Churachandpur district on 7 May 1910.

Watkin R. Roberts was invited by the curious village chief of Senvon, Shri Kamkholun Singson, to explain what the Gospel is. Roberts began his preaching in the village. Soon, the Good News spread like wildfire and reached the entire hills of Churachandpur. This led to a massive transformation from age-old traditional religions to Christianity among the tribal communities. Thereafter, 7 May has been observed as Missionary Day in Churachandpur.

Lamka, a town of various close-knit tribes in southern Manipur, is known for its academic achievements, history, culture, and songs. In simple English, Lamka means “a meeting point of several roads.” It is connected to the state capital via Tiddim Road, which is about 65 km away.

This monumental stone was erected in Lamka on 7 May 2010.
