Hazare stokes nationwide fires: Sonia implores end to fast
New Delhi, Apr 7: As the anti-
Social activists holding banners and torches descended at the India Gate for the second consecutive day today in support of the Hazare movement amid reports of similar protests from Lucknow, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and other cities.
The Indian diaspora outside the country chipped in and lent support to the anti-
The government had opened channels with the civil society leader for ending the fast as the Centre was ready to form the committee for drafting the Bill.
Apparently concerned over the growing nationwide support to Hazare, Congress President
Sonia Gandhi appealed to the leader to end his hunger strike assuring that the government
was serious about ensuring probity in public life. The leader of the 'Do or Die'
movement against corruption maintained that he will not end the three-
The UPA chairperson said the Government would give full attention to his views on probity in public life. There could not be two views on combating the corruption in public life.
The issue was being discussed with senior leaders and would be resolved, she said.
Ms Gandhi said she was pained to see the septuagenarian leader fasting for the past three days.
Earlier, Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal held parleys with civil society leaders Arvind Kajriwal and Swami Agnivesh to break the deadlock over the issue. Sibal conceded that the government did not agree to their demand for the drafting committee to be headed by Anna Hazare and the committee should have representation from the civil society bodies.
The talks may continue tomorrow, Sibal announced.
Earlier addressing the gathering at the fasting venue, Hazare asserted,'' the government would have to heed to the voice of the people. I would not end the fast until the Jan Lokpal Bill is passed." He stressed that the Bill will help in punishing the corrupt and cited various scams that have come into picture since last year.
"So many scams have come into picture including 2G Spectrun, Commonwealth Games bungling, Adarsh society scam, among others, but none of the "Ghotalebaaz" (culprits) is behind the bars. The Bill will help in punishing the corrupt," he said.
Expressing his agony against the menace of corruption, he said the people involved should not only be jailed, but hanged till death.
Criticising Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar who resigned from the Group of Ministers (GoM) perusing a Bill to combat the menace of corruption, the social activist said that not only he should have quit from the team but all the ministers should leave the government.
"It is not only about (Mr) Pawar, all the corrupt ministers should go. Pakistan is not as dangerous for the country as these ministers are," he said.
He added that after becoming Ministers, politicians start thinking themselves to be supreme. "They will have to be trained in realizing the truth that citizens are supreme," he said.
The Gandhian though accepted that according to the Father of the Nation speaking harsh language was also a form of violence. He said today the condition was such that tough words would have to be used.
"Today (Mahatma) Gandhi won't do alone, Chatrapati Shivaji will have to be brought in front," he said. UNI

According to a information received from the president of Arunachal Vikash Parishad, Hayuliang president Jinkhi Manyu, the Govt Middle School of Chameliang near Hayuliang was washed away by landslide along with two teachers quarters and dwelling house of a family.

Mountain Biodiversity Initiatives Award
for RGU teacher
RONO HIILS, Apr 7: A panel of judges (experts on mountain biodiversity and related
issues) International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), Kathmandu,
Nepal has finally picked four ‘winning’ case studies from among the 28 received from
the Hindu-
The case study entitled, "Linkages between Akas and Their Forests: An Analysis of
Problems and Prospects for Sustainable Development, Arunachal Pradesh" funded by
Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi and implemented by Department
of Geography, Rajiv Gandhi University, Arunachal Pradesh under Dr. Gibji Nimachow,
(Assistant Professor and Project Director) has been selected as one of the four winning
case studies of the prestigious ICIMOD contest on case studies of mountain biodiversity
initiatives from Hindu-
The winning case study carries a cash prize of USD 500 as a token of incentives to encourage national and local organizations and a certificate of achievement. The selected case studies will be included in a softcopy ICIMOD publication due out sometime in mid 2011.
The study was conducted in West and East Kameng districts of Arunachal Pradesh..
The Akas largely depend on forest resources for livelihood. Agriculture, hunting, fishing and food gathering are important activities for their sustenance. The inherent Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) allows them to interact with surrounding forests in differential ways. Their belief systems along with concept of sacred groves play significant role in conservation of plants and animals. The forests are the source of vegetables, fruits, barks, edible leaves, wood, bamboo, cane and thatches. Agricultural implements, bows and arrows, handles, cloths, hair oil, musical instruments, ornaments and ethnomedicines are also met out from forest resources. Some parts of animals such as antelopes, bear, etc. and fish are used for orthopedic and stomachache problems. However, the penetration of scientific knowledge has caused deep impacts on their linkages with forest. The survey reveals that some important species of plants are on stake of extinction and certain wild animals are endangered. The plants found within 10 m from the settlements are now found in 40 km away from the villages. The existing modern judicial laws against illegal exploitation are hardly implemented. They deal with these problems through customary laws known as Nobazio. There is urgent need of formulation of sustainable forest management plan for the area. The community forestry system of Nepal has performed well over the decades where the forest user groups are primarily responsible for forest management plans. Hence, management plans in line of other successful management systems could prove fruitful for the area in future. The existing customary laws and knowledge base in relation to their ecosystem may facilitate a revolution in preserving and protecting our huge forest resources.
The initiative mainly deals with strong linkages of forest resources and livelihood of people in mountain area and ventures to highlight traditional knowledge of tribal people, sustainability and conservation of forest resources. The idea of immediate formulation of sustainable forest management plan, awareness campaign, and creation of village forest protection committees has emerged from the present initiative. It can be replicated throughout Arunachal Pradesh and other mountainous areas inhabited by tribal communities all over the world to save our rich forest resources.
Revenue achievement of Miao STS
CHANGLANG, Apr 7: State transport Service Miao has achieved annual revenue of 1.
1,08, 62,321.00 during the financial year 2010-

RGU geared up for 4th edition of Arunachal Panorama

The sun, which is always identified with the state, has been developed as the festival’s logo. An element of fluidity has been added to the suns rays in this easily recognizable icon; symbolizing movement and change. The 16 rays of the sun in a concentric circle are representative of the 16 districts within the state.
Arunachal Panorama will present various programmes and activities like traditional dances, presentations on various festivals and rituals with a narration on their significance, display of indigenous games and sports with informal competition rounds for the audience. It would also feature a food court serving various traditional delicacies of Arunachalee cuisine.
A vital purpose of the festival is also to catalyze and support positive youth action
by engaging them in activities that give spaces for creative and artistic accomplishments.
The various traditional performances are aimed at emphasizing to the youth the essence
of their rich cultural heritage and to act as a motivator for them to preserve and
learn from their traditions. The various activities like story telling of folk tales
on origin of things, places, events etc., by various tribes, demonstration of indigenous
sports and games, display of festivals and rituals will also give students, academia
and intellectuals a space to interact and have dialogue on the on-
Expected fallout of the festival is for it to be gradually included in the tourism calendar of the state to promote the idea of a ‘window’ to the composite Arunachali culture where visitors and tourists can get a glimpse of the way of life of the tribes.
Rajiv Gandhi University, which is like a mini Arunachal, exemplifies and promotes this cultural diversity and harmony. The University envisages a pivotal role to be played by its students and the youth of the state in sustaining and promoting a respect for diversities among all tribes of the state, said a release.

Pass the Lok Pal bill
Dear Editor,
Social activists like Anna Hazare, Kiren Bedi and many others are at a dharna for the passage of Lok Pal bill, which would help check corruption in public life.
Any person either a common man or the prime minister of the country, if they indulge in any corruption, equal punishment should be given and cases should be solved within a year.
People of North East should encourage and support such bills. The people of Arunachal
are well aware of many corruptions such as multi-
For such scandals, we the common mass can fight, if such bill is passed. So we should fully support and welcome such bills.
Yours,

Wishing for more
Dear Editor ,
My town is a bit remote as compared to the rest of our state and we get to read your paper, obviously not at the earliest, sometimes in the evening or the next morning.
Reading about the news of the illegal appointments, was really a sad thing as lots of educated but unemployed youths are loitering around. But I also thought that the Save Arunachal Forum will chalk out solutions.
It feels like they are the only hope we have as no other unions are interested in this matter. Perhaps there is no profit in that.
When a big scam like the 2G spectrum can be unearthed and the guilty tried, we can definitely wish for more. I request the SAF to give us more information about the issue.
Yours,
Tom Tamut , Boleng
Before its too late

Citizens, police and politicians
Dear Editor,
I would like to take reference of some of the cases related to police versus public. When Dr Tana Talin was beaten up by the police personnel, student’s union & organisations and conscience citizens protested and showed our anguish towards the police atrocities.
Again within no time Tashi Nguso died because of Police highhandedness. Reacting, immediately all sections of society raised voice against the inhuman act by the so called law keeper of the state.
We have seen at that time too what was the response of the Home Minister of our state. We called several meetings and press conferences jointly with the apex student’s organisations of the state to mobilize and educate the masses of what is the importance of separation of judiciary from the executive.
Such incident is repeatedly happening in our state and we wonder how many such cases are there hidden.
What happens when students & civil society starts pointing their fingers at the government; they just suspend the alleged police personnel and transfers them within no time without making the people know about it.
After some time, they are awarded with all their held up salaries at one time and later gets promotions too.
And more interesting here is that governments announce compensation to the victim’s family and if possible offers jobs too. And this lead to compromise.
When such things happens all the organisations and others lose their morals and disappears silently and with this hot issue becomes calm and hides somewhere in the unknown files of government department. So many pressures fall from the high level on the victim’s family and to their relatives and to the members of the organisations leading the issues.
We want to know whether this is called justice in our state. What I believe is that the Home Minister should be dismissed from the power and positions he is holding unnecessarily and replace him with a responsible person.
Yours etc
Nabam Tado
Take up our cause too
Dear Editor,
This is in response to the News item "AAPSU calls for early release of stipend" on dated April 6.The AAPSU has called on higher authority to immediately release stipend of only those students who are studying outside the state.
We want to draw the attention of AAPSU that not only college students studying outside the state are not getting stipend but also the college students studying in various institute of Arunachal such as North East Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital , NERIST,Rajiv Gandhi Polythecnic College are also deprived from stipend, especially from NEC.
We appeal the apex student body AAPSU and other student organisation to look into the matter immediately for the sake of student like us who study in this institution and who rely on such NEC stipend.
Yours,
Karli Nyori, Joram Atu,
Gamken Romin, Jambo Ejing, Oken Tamuk, Kapnai Arangham, Matwang Ago.
List them
Dear Editor ,
I would like to request all the organisations campaigning against the ' illegal appointments' to go harder and deeper on the issue. I also request the organisations and unions to bring out the list of all the illegal appointments, because at the least even if no actions are taken against them, it would be good to know them.
But the most important of all, we seek the names of all the officials and concerned politicians involved. A bunch of people who blindly underestimated the rest of the civilians with their unscrupulous use of power.
Hope that the list of the names will be listed in the days to come.
Tani Tatak,
Shillong
Let’s join the crusade
Dear Editor,
Let us extend our support to Anna Hazare’s fight against corruption. The people of Arunachal including AAPSU, GSU, ANSU, ADISU, GWS, NES, ABK, SAF and all other civil society should come forward in the streets and join in hand in support of Anna Hazzare’s fight against corruption.
