Joint Representation to PM by Hmar Inpui & Zomi Council Supporting Tripartite Talks
A JOINT REPRESENTATION SUBMITTED TO THE HON’BLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA THROUGH THE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, CHURACHANDPUR BY HMAR INPUI AND ZOMI COUNCIL ON 8 AUGUST, 2017 IN SUPPORT OF THE ON-GOING TRIPARTITE TALKS
Hon’ble Sir,
At the outset, the Hmar Inpui and Zomi Council and all its constituent civil society organisations (CSOs) would like to express our sincere gratitude to the NDA Government under your able leadership for your sincere efforts to bring a permanent political solution in Manipur.
It is encouraging to know that the Government of India, the Government of Manipur and the Suspension of Operation (SoO) groups in Manipur – namely, the United People’s Front (UPF) and Kuki National Organisation (KNO) will be sitting for the third round of tripartite talks on 9th August, 2017 in New Delhi. It is also immensely satisfying to note that the Union Government has appointed Shri Dineshwar Sharma, former Director of Intelligence Bureau (IB), as an interlocutor for SoO groups.
In this regard, may we draw your kind attention to the following points:
We firmly believe that the time has come to fulfil these promises and turn words into action.
The Hmar Inpui and Zomi Council would also like to reiterate that we fully support the on-going peaceful political dialogue and pray that it leads to an honourable, acceptable, durable and practical political solution for the tribal in the state of Manipur.
On behalf of the people and the tribes we represent, we plead your honour to kindly take up all possible steps for immediate political solution and pave the way for an era of peace and development.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours sincerely,
(Joseph Lalrothang)
President, HMAR INPUI

General Secretary, HMAR INPUI

Too Much to Bear: Manipur Youth Critical at SJH Delhi
He is now in critical condition. Doctors have discovered a hole in his heart, a condition he's unknowingly carried since birth. The only way to save his life? An immediate heart surgery. But here’s the devastating part—the cost is between Rs. 5 to Rs. 10 lakhs.
"Be ready with at least Rs. 5 lakhs," one of the doctors told us.
We were shattered. How can a poor young man, who came looking for a livelihood, now be asked to cough up such an astronomical amount just to stay alive?
A nurse from the Northeast working at a private hospital whispered to us that some private hospitals charge Rs. 7 to Rs. 8 lakhs for similar surgeries. We used to believe government hospitals like SJH would be more affordable. But clearly—not always.
GOOD SAMARITANS RISE
…both of whom rushed straight from their night shift to the hospital to donate blood.
They all gathered at Safdarjung Hospital on the evening of March 11, 2017 (Saturday)—from all across Delhi—to do one thing: help a brother in need.
In moments like these, we are reminded of who we truly are—not just people from the Northeast, not just Delhi residents, but humans with a heart.
In service of our Northeast brothers and sisters.

NE HELPLINE writes to Robin Hibu, IPS, Delhi Police on Security Concerns for NE People
NORTH EAST SUPPORT CENTRE & HELPLINE

To,
Shri Robin Hibu, IPS
Nodal Officer for North East,
Jt. Commissioner of Police
New Delhi
SUBJECT:- SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS FOR THE NORTHEAST PEOPLE DURING HOLI FESTIVALS.
Respected Sir,
Now-a-days many complaints of feeling of UNSAFE and INSECURE has been received by THE NORTH EAST SUPPORT CENTRE & HELPLINE from many Northeast community living in the National Capital Regions, especially women who are working in private companies that they have been targeted in different ways --- ‘abused’, ‘discriminated’
According to the latest complaints received from women from North-Eastern States in Delhi and its NCR Regions, told the NESCH [NE HELPLINE] that they were allegedly mistreated by the locals during Holi festivals. Mostly women from NE regions were targeted by the Holi revelers. Many of the NE women complained that they have been facing many ill treatments during Holi festivals. The locals use to throw/pour dirty water from the balcony of their houses. Some locals throwing coloured-water and firecrackers to NE women inappropriately. In truest experiment, last year a young Manipuri girl dressed neat and tidy coming out for office job, on the way she was splashed with dirty water by a group of men. Though she requested them politely that she is going for office duty. However the group turndown her fervent requests instead they rubbed her face with different colours (rang) and many of the colours fallen on her clean and pant. So she helplessly fallen and cry for help. The men fled from the scene. Another incident was when two couple from Nagaland coming out from AIIMS hospital after getting medical treatment were badly treated by coloured-water balloons. Their medical papers of doctor’s prescription were almost spoiled by the water. Another young Mizo girl in Munirka, who went for buying some food items, was allegedly grabbed behind by 4-6 young boys in the name of Holi. Indeed they are shouing, “Happy Holi….. Happi Holi…… Holi… Holi … Holi Hai!”
NESCH have been maintaining records of such incidents for the past many years.
Ofcourse everybody knows Holi is a time of Joy and Happiness. If so, let us all try to celebrate Holi in a meaningful way and may it bring Peace and Harmony among the Indians.
Not only focusing the safety and security of the NE women, we also concern for the male-folks who can also be under such attacks. Therefore there is an urgent need of police presence and intervention to prevent such offence in day or night.
Therefore Sir, with much faith and confident on you, we would like to requests you to tight-up security vigils in the pockets of the localities where maximum number of North East people resides.
Thanking You, Sir
In the SERVICE of Our BROTHERS and SISTERS of NORTHEAST India.
Yours Sincerely,
