Manager cum PRO NHPC.

This court directs OC Naharlagun PS to register regular case against the complainant in the instant case and action may be taken as per the relevant law,” read the judgment.
Meanwhile PPUEA while welcoming the court judgment expressed concern over delay in arrest of K Riram by Naharlagun PS authorities as per the Court decision.

Both of them are very poor in serving their duty according to their designation and work against interest of tribal community. RK Gupta (ED) himself gave the wrong statement to the Police department about Latin Das as the employee of NHPC and left the department to helpless handle the situation. Later it came to know Das was not employee of company and Gupta befooled his own colleague including his seniors, “stated PPUEA.

Because of the wrong act of above two people, 5 educated youth of the state were kept in police custody for eight days and beaten brutally and treated inhumanly. So, we appeal CMD to check where the system is going wrong.”

Wait for hard earned salary continues..
Dear Editor,
Through the column of this daily, I would like to apprise our Chief Minister about the plight and agony we are going through due to nonpayment of our salary for months together. All the staffs of NRHM in general and Health Assistant in particular have not been paid salary for 5 months straight now. Just imagine. The contractual staffs who are serving in far flung villages of the state are not given their fixed and meager salary. The situation has worsened to the extent that we have to borrow money from villagers as shopkeepers refuse us to give credit. Forget about other basic amenities of life but we are fighting for both ends meet. It is so embarrassing But what to do. Anything for the cruel stomach.
We have many times submitted representation to the department for our appointment considering our long dedicated service to the department but to no avail. Every time we approach the authority, our request is ignored in such a way as if our service is not required. Except for the kind support of DHS, higher ranked officer/s are so irresponsive and negative in their approach that they even do not let the file reach the office of Health Minister and HCM. So, when all doors seem closed, we are left with no option but to come public to assert our basic rights as a human being of a civilized society.
So for the very first time, I on behalf of all aggrieved Health Assistants (NRHM) in particular and NHRM employees in general request our beloved Chief Minister to interfere in the matter and pass on his valued instruction to the authority concerned for immediate release of our pending salary at one go in the interest of natural justice.
Yours,
Ajay Mongkalang

The Yobin community still seeking Arunachalee identity after 57 long years!
Dear Editor,
It is proclaimed that democracy is of the people, by the people and for the people. But for the “Yobin” community of Arunachal Pradesh, it is far from being true! For us, the governmental care went from bad to worse. And now we do not even know whether we are a tribe of Arunachal or not. We are not very sure if India is embracing us or alienating us.
As a community of Changlang District, we had a long series of injustice meted by the Government of India/Arunachal Pradesh. First, the Government took as many as 5 of our villages in Vijoynagar Circle and settled the Nepali/Ghurkha pensioners in our villages. Then after the 1975 general election our electoral rolls were deleted and we remained just like “refugees” in our own land from 1979 to 1994. Most significantly, the Yobin tribe is totally denied the Scheduled Tribe (ST) facilities and ST Certificates. This is just to name a few. We are in utter amazement as to why we have not been recognized as a tribe of Arunachal state. Below we share a few of the whys and wherefores of our astonishment.
The Presidential Order of 1956 and the SC & ST Act 1956 declared that “all tribes"

The Yobins have lived in Vijoynagar area from the times immemorial. Only on 7th May
1961, our first contact with the Indian Paramilitary during their Chaukan Pass Expedition
began. Our land technically became Indian Territory when international boundary pillars
were erected in 1972-
While, all the other native tribes of Arunachal are enjoying ST facilities on their
own tribe’s name or as sub-
The Gazette of India is an authorized legal document of the Government of India.
In that “Yobin” is always gazetted as a Scheduled Tribe of NEFA then and now of Arunachal.
But recently, we were surprised to find that the office of Deputy Commissioner, Changlang
District classified us “other settlers”. This is in direct contradiction to the Gazetteer
of India-
Further, the Council of Ministers (Arunachal Pradesh) has approved the Yobin as ST
in 2000 and forward to the Govt of India. The same was presented in Lok Sabha on
18 Dec 2002 which was approved under the SC&ST (Second Amendment) Bill, 2002. Subsequently,
an ethnographic information was demanded and provided, vide memo no Secy (SW) SC/ST

Let the Members of Parliament from Arunachal Pradesh, Ninong Ering, Sanjay Takam and Mukut Mithi, place our case before the Lok Sabha on 5 August and before the Rajya Sabha without fail. We understand that the ST issue will come up in Lok Sabha in the first week of August. And may we trust the “People First Government” of India will not silence the YOBIN Issue once more? No more alienation of the YOBIN TRIBE of Arunachal! We are almost losing our faith in the goodness of our government! Do us justice today!

Ensure healthy meat for capital citizens
Dear Editor,
In capital complex day by day consumptions of meat is increasing. One of the most consumed meats is beef which is cheapest in compare to other meat. But here no one care for the quality of the meat. No one knows from where the cows are supplied and whether they are healthy one. Often it is seen that seller sell those beef meat which are unhealthy for us and which cause various disease. The administration should take appropriate action in this regard. We hope to get healthy and hygienic beef meat in the future.

Teasing: A national phenonmena
Dear Editor,
This is in response to the article “It’s time to change” by Mr. A K Rana in which

I would like to share some of my personal experiences that happened in Maharashtra.
I had been called as Nepali, Kancha or Chinese many a time. Again I am explaining
all this, not to counter you Mr Rana. Call it coincidence sir, I also asked one lad
in Mumbai that who told you that we are Nepali. He replied, “My mother. She told
me that all people who have small-
My article on 31st July is about national integrity, fraternity and about the irresponsible comment, not about the trivial issues. Because last time we witnessed a big issue when someone put hateful comment on Facebook during ethnic disturbance in Assam. It led to mass exodus of North Eastern people from mainland India which was a big harassment to the masses. If somebody’s irresponsible comment bring something big disaster, would that person could carry the burden of that disaster in his life?? So, one must be careful while making any statement in a public domain. Lastly, if I hurt the sentiments of ANYBODY during course of my writing, please excuse me, I am regretful about it.
Yours,

Improve regional cooperation
The floods that ravaged Nepal over the last two months have exposed gaps in its early warning systems (EWS) and underscored the need for superior regional cooperation, especially involving India, said a report.
Of the 280 rainfall monitoring centres located across Nepal, 60 have been upgraded
over the last five years to ensure real-
But that did little to prevent floods and landslides from killing over 50 people in the last six weeks.
Experts partly blame the lack of a regional information sharing system for the yearly
loss of life and property. Indian state of Uttarakhand that borders Nepal, received
