ITANAGAR, Sept 13: Don Bosco School, Itanagar in collaboration with DBYC organized
a week-

During the course of the day the students were given inputs on careers in the armed forces in general and the army in particular. The demo dummy firing of the field guns by the jawans caught the attention of all the students. The students were also taught as to how to make specific graphs of the enemy location which is very important for accuracy in shelling. They also had a real feel of the guns as well as certain surveillance equipments, including the 20 kms distance night vision equipment.
The programme was coordinated by Col. Patel and Lt. Col. Malik from the Head Quarters of 2 Mountain Division of the army. What took the students by surprise was the hospitality shown by men in uniform and their promptness in rising to the occasion and coming up with substantial assistance which made their trip to Gangtok a memorable one.The exposure trip which is an annual programme organized by the school for the class IX students is gradually taking the shape of a Career Guidance Tour, thanks to the 2 Mountain Division at Gangtok. “We enjoyed the trip a lot”, said Bengia Pandey, a participant, “but what made the trip very special was our day with the personnel of the armed forces.” The School management as well as DBYC has expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made it possible for the students to get a taste of the army hospitality.

ITANAGAR, Sept 12: Arunachal Pradesh Tour Operators Association (APTOA) and several foreign tourist groups stranded in different parts of India for want of entry clearance were relieved today as Government of Arunachal Pradesh lifted 8 days mandatory stay outside the State before entering in Arunachal.

Dr Ando Kazuo, whose Japanese group was held up at Guwahati for last four days because of the earlier notification, was a happy man to receive this good news. Notwithstanding the PAP problems, he and his group was happy that Govt of Arunachal Pradesh was taking extra care in containing swine flu disease which has engulfed ¾ of the world. APTOA thanked the Department of Tourism and The Directorate of Health Services, Govt of Arunachal Pradesh for lifting the restriction. This order has come at the right time as the new tourist season has just begun and Arunachal Tourism is opening up to receive increased number of foreigners and Indian visitors this season, stated Tsering Wange Chairman of APTOA.
Earlier APTOA made several representation to the State Govt to lift the restriction as transmission of H1N1 virus is minimum from foreign tourists/Indian nationals returning from abroad.
As per Ministry of Health & Family Welfare notification dated 7th September, total 5638110 passengers were screened at 83 Airport Counters manned by 225 doctors and 172 paramedics. Of the total sample tested, only 1042 (0.4 %) came from the Airport screening, rest of the samples were collected indigenously from different parts of India!
APTOA would render unconditional support and cooperation to the Health Department and will make sure that every foreign tourist intending to visit Arunachal Pradesh is medically checked before applying for permit and would be screened again at any one of the four designated entry points – Bhalukpong, Banderdewa, Ruksin and Namchik before they are allowed to enter the State.
This is to ensure that no H1N1 virus is brought to the State by the visiting tourists as health and safety of our people are of paramount importance, said APTOA Chairman.
APTOA also recorded its appreciation for the officials and staff members of the State Tourism Department for contributing relief to the fire victims of Nyigam village.

Dept reacts to allegations
ITANAGAR: The allegation made by All Arunachal Pradesh Workers Union (AAPWU) Lower Dibang Valley district on illegal appointment unit published on Sept 12 is baseless and there is no iota of truth in it.
Urban Development & Housing Division have accepted the joining reports of those incumbents who were actually appointed before the announcement of Election Model Code of Conduct.
It is my moral duty to carry out the Govt’s orders because all the appointment orders were issued from Govt level. So there is no question of any appointment been made at Roing Division said Er Hali Welly, Deputy Director UD and Housing.
We just carried out the orders from govt.
Such publication not only tarnish image of innocent field functionaries but also can provoke other unions statewide, he added while expressing resentment at the allegation made by the union.
Union demands
ITANAGAR: All Arunachal Pharmacy Students’ Union said that the Drugs inspector exam should be conducted through APPSCCE in a meeting held recently.

Dependence is death and independence is life
Madam,
In the wake of sky touching prices of all essential commodities, the worst affected are the house wives, who do look after the kitchen at home, whether she has a pie or no pie in hands a mother has to anyhow manage two times meals for her family. Who will understand the plights of women right from below poverty line (BPL) to the middle class.
The 90% population in the state are neither employed nor have work at hands, hardly 20% population are well placed in agriculture and rest are in the mad race of hunting for regular income source, at times taken to shift agriculture here and there.
The lack of regular income source and availability of work in hands has ultimately compelled the sections of energetic and creative housewives to find out way for generating income for themselves.
The bolly everyone casting their eyes upon is a practical and definitely a short time method of earning for women themselves. It is not bolly as everybody calls but a money rotation system. The housewives sufficiently earned through this money rotation system. Therefore, all cross sections of society should appreciate such positive struggle of our sisters. Even the local administration should stand by them by providing healthy guidelines time to time. Women always want to do something to earn for themselves, whenever they ask help from individuals no body comes forward to help the struggling woman even the banks do not help them. This is my own experience also.
Therefore, I will always advocate for women cause as the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. However, I would suggest all those women who are taking part in this money rotation system to try to make a success story by consistence and perseverance efforts and by patience. We must learn to stick to a particular profession. Sudden shift of work or profession does not pay in the long run. They should remain sensitive to their family like also.
They can set up their own financial corporate banks and in turn give support to all those helpless women who want to set up their own small business unit. The norms of all nationalized and regional banks are not helpful to individual poor woman in particular. Under such situation, the woman involved in income generating activity through such money rotation system can be a great help to poor women who need small & short term loans at nominal interest (less interest).
Let us achieve the goal of economic independence through such sheer hard work and a positive struggle for I know that dependence is death and independence is life. Rights must be reciprocated by duties. This is one popular line I have been quoting all time.
Besides, this money rotation activity, there are many more self income generating schemes available. The women must able to tap such resources by being positive and a hard working. Women are the embodiments of the shakti, the laxmi, the durga, the saraswati, the kali and the mother Mary. What we woman can not do, if we stand united. Let us not sleep any more. All tall talk without performance is sign of total decadence of the very foundation of our society. Similarly, politics without performance is total degeneration of Indian democracy.
Work! Work! Work coupled with morality and honest intention must be the secret of success for all of us that too at a time getting a spoonful of cooked dal even once in a blue moon has become a distant dream for million masses.
So, let us not ridicule the positive and practical struggle of our sisters who are working very hard through out day and night to earn money in order to meet their daily essential needs through the much talked money rotation system. Let us all be supportive and encouraging to them. Let us give love to them but not hatred as love is life and hatred is death.

Recruit UPO through APPSC
Madam,
Urban Development and Housing is the only department which hardly hands over its vacant posts to the APPSC – like UPO, AUPO and other ministerial posts for recruitment. Most of the vacant posts are filled up through deputation without maintaining recruitment rules framed for engineering and other departments.
Junion engineers serving in RWD and PWD for 2 to 4 years are appointed on deputation against direct recruitment post of UPO, which is equivalent to assistant engineer. Surprisingly, they are absorbed in the same grade without handing over the posts to APPSC for inclusion in the combined engineering recruitment examination.
Now, Taba Tedir has taken over the charges of director of the department and we have come to know that he is a good officer, who sticks to the rules of the Govt. Hence, we would request Tedir and the concerned secretary to hand over the vacant posts of UPOs to APPSC for recruitment through the combined examination for engineering services.
Yours,
Mike Bui

Capital road needs bigger space
Madam,
The number of vehicles in the Capital city has increased enormously and the it is increasing day by day. On the other hand the NH 52A remains the same resulting in traffic congestion. Therefore, the Capital Youth Organisation (CYO) urged the department concerned to take immediately measures for widening of the road to make it traffic worthy.
It has also been noticed that despite establishments of several traffic points in
the Capital, there is hardly any traffic police seen in traffic points like Vivek
