Need for a start

The report, released on Dec 15 by the UN Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) says governments have too often overlooked violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Homophobic and transphobic violence has been recorded in every region of the world, the report finds, and ranges from murder, kidnappings, assaults and rapes to psychological threats and arbitrary deprivations of liberty.
LGBT people are often targets of organised abuse from religious extremists, paramilitary
groups, neo-
Violent incidents or acts of discrimination frequently go unreported because victims do not trust police, are afraid of reprisals or are unwilling to identify themselves as LGBT.
In 76 countries it remains illegal to engage in same-
The High Commissioner also calls on countries to ensure that no one fleeing persecution because of their sexual orientation or gender identity is returned to a territory where their life or freedom is at threat, and that asylum laws recognise that sexual orientation or gender identity is a valid basis for claiming persecution.
Public information campaigns should be introduced, especially in schools, to counter homophobia, and police and law enforcement officials should also receive training to ensure LGBT people are treated appropriately and fairly. A start must be made now.

Tali will be waiting for CM to fulfil his promise
Dear Editor,
On behalf of people of 20th Tali Constituency, I appreciate Chief Minister Nabam Tuki for visiting Tali to know the ground reality of the area. Tali Constituency is one of the remotest areas of state and this has forced majority of the citizen to migrate to places like capital, Ziro, Daporijo, Aalo etc. This trend is not because Tali people are very prosperous but just to avoid the hardship faced by them. Tali lack basic facilities in education, healthcare and sanitation. It is only one constituency which do not road connectivity till date. Being simple and straight forward in nature people of Tali will always remember the valuable suggestion of the CM and will be looking to forward to see him fulfil all promises specially his promise of visiting Tali by road when he visit next time.
Being an educated youth of Tali Constituency, I appeal Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh
to pay special attention towards 20th Tali Assembly constituency. Even after functioning
as independent circle for 54 years since independent it is the most backward area
of the state in all aspects. Therefore, I request CM of the state in general and
PWD minister in particular to pay proper attention for the early completion of the
Yangte -
Lastly, I would like to extend thanks to our local MLA Er. Markio Tado for his initiation for Chief Minister’s visit and we appreciate his seven days home constituency tour by himself. We hope that he will keep his spirit, so that Tali people would be able to proudly walk along with rest of the state.

A mistake needs a correction
Dear Editor,
This is in response to a letter written by a frustrated qualified candidate (what about those who qualified?)on 16th December.
The question here is not about who qualified and who did not but it is about the way our answer sheets were evaluated, which as per R.T.I act were done very irresponsibly.
Would you really consider yourself as qualified, when our answer sheets were not properly evaluated. There might be candidates who did better than you in the written examination, but only because of their bad luck did not make it through. Now think, what about those candidates?
The question now is, can we really trust on the re-
No doubt some of the candidates are filing R.T.I. act, but what about those candidates who are out of state and can't turn up at such short notice to file R.T.I.
Even they deserve a fair justice.
The only way to give justice to all the candidates is to conduct fresh written examination. Those who made it through written examination this time would still make it next time if they are talented enough. No hard feelings to anyone.
I request the commission to give justice to all the candidates and re-

Where is NES and ANSU?
Dear Editor,
I would like to respond to the letter “Where was NYWA?” by Lingdum Taha on 15th Dec. It was not at all a surprise that Taha is contradicting his own lines in the letter. It’s clear that he appreciated the bandhs called by NES and ANSU before the government was changed, calling it mature dealing. But now he is criticizing the bandh called by NYWA calling it illegal, after the government has been changed.
Now my question, “is the TOI and Deccan Chronicle issue solved?”
Well, a Big No! It is still there standing same as it was before the change of government.
Now what is ANSU and NES doing after dragging the whole Nyishi people in the issue against the then Government? Now why ANSU and NES are not showing that fire to bring back the dignity of the Nyishi People? Why are they so calm?
As Lingdum Taha said, the TOI and Deccan Chronicle issue is closely related to the sentiments of the whole Nyishi Community then each and every Nyishi individuals or Nyishi Organization has the right to protest against it. Why only NES & ANSU has to be authorized to do so when they are sleeping at this moment?
The ANSU and NES on the behalf of Nyishi Community had already rejected the written and video apologies tendered by Pradeep Thakur , therefore we are expecting the solution to be more concrete.
I would like to appreciate NYWA for their involvement to bring justice and dignity to Nyishi Community and at the same time appeal ANSU and NES to stand committed to the words given by them to the whole Nyishi Community.
Yours,

Deteriorating D Ering Wildlife Sanctuary
Dear Editor,
The `Daying Ering Wildlife Sanctuary' of East Siang district is one of the prestigious, precious and incomparable assets of our state. But unfortunately the sanctuary is losing it pride due to its deteriorating condition for the last few years. I hope the government had funded various schemes for the development and maintenance of the said wild life sanctuary. But till today, no major improvement and development to preserve and protect the flora and fauna of the sanctuary was witnessed by the people.
One wonder, where the fund meant for sanctuary development was implemented by the concerned authority. If the authority had implemented the schemes rightly, it would have been one of the famous tourist destinations (hub) like Khaziranga of Assam.
Further, there is no timely inspection and monitoring of flora and fauna of the sanctuary.
I hope the concerned authority conduct high level enquiry regarding the deteriorating condition of the sanctuary to preserve the valuable assets of the state and the nation.
