“Our officers should perform their election duties freely and fearlessly, and we have not here to play any partisan role but to act in a transparent manner as there is nothing to hide in the electoral democracy. In election matters, don’t listen to anyone except for rule books (which already been given for guidance of all the officers, political parties and their candidates) to avoid bogus registration of voters to evade any problem in future,” he said, adding that “deletion and addition (of voters’ name) is an ongoing process and it can be done even after the poll process is over.”
The SEC also made it clear that in case of PR polls, only the indigenous voters can exercise their democratic franchise, and the Municipality election (being held for first time) is just like Assembly and Parliamentary polls where everybody can vote.

Engineer takes up daunting task of compiling genealogy of Abo Tani clans of West Siang
AALO, Apr 11: Sentum Yomcha, Superintending Engineer PHE Bene Circle, who has made a long drawn out effort to compile the voluminous genealogy of Bogum, Karka and Lodu generation, is making an attempt to trace out the origin of all the clans of Abo Tani in West Siang district.
It took him nearly five years to gather materials and bring out the book for the entire population of Liromoba constituency at his own expense. The book is becoming very handy for the upcoming generation to delve into their origin. It is also encouraging others to make such value based creative writings on the tribal culture, origin, literature, belief, faith and worship. The field of interest and such creative work by silent, soft spoken and meritorious engineer dates back to his schooling days at R.K. Mission School Aalo, when he used to prepare chart of genealogy of all Abotani group at a tender age of class VIII standard.

Pan Arunachal identity is at stake: NCP
ITANAGAR, Apr 11: The concept of Pan Arunachal Identity is at stake with mortgaging of entire river basins of the state to so called hundreds of power developers, gifting of the rich coal and lime deposits through the easy route of MoAs and diversion of hundreds of hectares of tribal forest land to military establishment in the name of nation building and security of the frontiers, alleged State NCP President Kahfa Bengia.
With introduction of railway lines to state’s capital without thinking about the
consequences on Nehru-
Party’s State General Secretary Kaling Jerang stated that the Central Govt. and its leadership of all shades have already made Arunachal a dumping ground for refugees and illegal migrants. With implementation of even 50% of the MoAs on hydropower, the tribals of the State will be converted into a microscopic minority and the rich Corporates will decide the MPs, MLAs and even the local level leaders by their sheer money power. The concept of rich tribal culture as Capital and self identity and the white water rafting as part of adventure sport will be a thing of the past with water logged dams everywhere, Jerang added.
The Chairman of the NCP Manifesto Drafting Committee Naksang Tsering opined that time has come to ponder upon as to why Arunachal is rich but not the Arunachalees. Development is not about dams and bridges but it is about people, their health, education and purchasing power and happiness indices, he said. “The commoners under present regime got fed up with daily breaking news of corruption, murder, rape, price rise and so on. The root cause to all evils are lack of strong political will and unjustified use of limited resources by the parochial few at the coast of many, Naksang pointed out. The concept of Pan Arunachal Identity will be meaningful only if the people are in proud possession of their god gifted resources over Jungle, Jaal and Zameen.
“What is needed urgently is a strong regional political force that will envisage strong secular, socialist and democratic road map for the entire tribal of the state, he opined. The lesser known Political Parties, therefore, are not adverse to joining hands with a vibrant regional force that will sound the death knell of the Congress hegemony, Naksang added, while participating in NCP discussion on Pan Arunachal Identity as one of the serious issues facing the state and its people.
TG. Baki, NCP leader from Upper Subansiri opined that with the liberal entry of all sorts of powerful political parties such as INC and BJP and also by powerful mainland regional parties such as Janta Dal, RJD, NCP, TMC etc. have confused the illiterate masses and this in turn helped Congress to continue its political domination at Itanagar.
Baki further appealed that time has come for setting up a Revolutionary Agenda involving the youth and women power for a complete change in the system and in the process the visionary leaders in different Political Platforms must sacrifices their self gains and self egos for creating and all encompassing regional political forum and a Pan Arunachal Identity.
“If Sikkim Democratic Front can flourish as a regional party why Arunachal is one of the richest natural resource base become the role model for the rest of the County, Baki wondered.

Speed thrills but it kills
Dear Editor,
Through your esteemed daily, I would like to request the young bike riders to kindly check their speed as well as ear piercing noise while riding their favourite vehicle. It seems as if you people are always in hurry trying to chase something. But you forget that it not only endanger your own life but risk the life of others too. Several times I have come across such bike riders whose style and speed scares us and frightens people on the road .Some people curse them for such act and still there are some good soul who silently pray for their safety. Even then, please think for those children going to school, those parents/relatives going for job, those sick and old people going to hospital. Your thrill & excitement can cost a lot. I hope I am able to convince you all brothers through this column and take steps to control this and remember "SPEED THRILLS BUT IT KILLS.”

Open letter to his Excellency the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh
Dear Editor,
This is an open letter to the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh seeking his urgent interruption
to save precious life. Governor Sir, under your able administration, the department
of health services has issued a death warrant to the poor citizens of Arunachal Pradesh.
It is because of the blessing of health services department who has listed the banned
medicine items in the medicine procurement lists in respect of Tender No. MSUP-
That the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (Central Government of India, Power conferred by Section 26A of Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940) hereby prohibits the manufacture, sale and distribution in public interest of the following items as follows:
1. Items No. 20 and 21: Tab. Gatifloxacin 200mg and 400mg. The Gazette of India Notification No. GSR No. 218(E) dated. 16/03/2011.
2. Items No. 57: Susp. Nimesulide 60ml (50mg/5ml). The Gazette of India Notification No. GSR No. 82(E) dated. 10/02/2011.
3. Items No. 108: Tab. Astimizole 10mg. The Gazette of India Notification No. GSR No. 191(E) dated. 05/03/2003.
And, it is learnt that State Government has approved the death warrant served by the health services department to the poor citizens of Arunachal Pradesh. It is the black day of Arunachal Pradesh in the history of the state for those coming days. Arunachal Civil Society believes that if there is any adverse affect to those medicine consumers, directly or indirectly the health services department has to take full responsibility.
Your Excellency, the Governor of State, the 12 lakhs population of Arunachal Pradesh are seeking right to live under Article 21 of Indian Constitution under your good governance. Your good office may kindly, intervene the matter and saves the life of poor & innocence’s citizens of Arunachal Pradesh.

Tapi Mra deserves many things
Dear Editor,
Through your esteem daily, I would like to draw the attention of people of Arunachal Pradesh about the pathetic condition of the legendary everester Tapi Mra who earned name and fame in the field of Adventure sport by conquering Mount Everest.
Tapi Mra, the 1st Everester of Arunachal Pradesh who earned name and fame after conquering
Mount Everest with dare devil display crossing all the hurdle. He has a place in
Arunachal General Knowledge Book for his feat which is a matter of proud for family,
clan, tribe and Arunachal State as a whole as he registered the name of Arunachal
State in the Book of Mountaineering History of the World. But the future of this
legend seems to be bleak as he is struggling for his own existence. He has remained
jobless all these days since he became celebrity and how he is managing to survive
has become a very important question to be introspected. As for the degree in his
own field what I feel is that Mr. Tapi Mra is having the highest and coveted degree
in the field of mountaineering which is a Ph.D. Degree. To set foot on moon or to
set foot on Mt. Everest is an act of dare devil which require courage, endurance
and suffering to which common people cannot achieve as it needs extraordinary quality.
For this extraordinary quality of courage Mr Mra had been felicitated by government
and other well-

Geological survey of India office needs attention
Dear Editor,
Through your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of authority towards existing condition of GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA office, which is situated just merely five hundred meters away from PHQ Itanagar. Whenever I visit there, I almost get anxious by noticing the main entrance gate. The rusted old gate is hanging and can come down anytime. Finally after crossing that hilarious gate I entered into the land of jungles where domesticated animals have made govt quarters and lab buildings their home! At some place, there were even private residence buildings! I wonder whether it would be appropriate to name it 'DOMESTICATED ANIMALS ZOOLIGICAL PARK OF INDIA’ instead of geological survey of India. Therefore I request the concerned authority and state govt. to immediately upgrade the GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA for its official research and developmental works.

Prevention of child marriages which are indirect causes of maternal deaths is also an important factor. Right to good quality nutrition and health services during and after pregnancy and childbirth and the removal of barriers that contribute to maternal mortality would go a long way towards safe motherhood.
