AMSU opposes visit of CM & Governor
ITANAGAR, Dec 26: The All Mishmi Students Union has decided to go for bandh call in the twin districts of Lohit and Anjaw during proposed visit of Chief Minister to Tezu and that of Governor at Walong. The union decided to call bandh in response to indifferent attitude of the state government and authorities regarding the traumatic incident that occurred on the night of 27th September which left a deep scar in the minds of public.
In spite of several representations, appraisals and memorandums submitted to the Chief Minister, Governor, DGP and other high ranking officials, the government has maintained a dubious silence on the issue even after 3 months from the date of incident.

Therefore, All Mishmi Students Union has unanimously decided to call bandh in the twin districts on whichever date chief minister and the governor visits.

In its letter submitted to the DC seeking to issue notification for the change in nomenclature, it said, Ziro and Hapoli are two geographical locality of Lower Subansiri district and are located at 8 kilometres apart just like Naharlagun and Itanagar. But officially Hapoli is addressed as Ziro. Office of the DC, Ziro, Higher Secondary School, Ziro are all located in Hapoli. It is a misnomer of the official location.
It is historical that Ziro was an administrative centre of NEFA. It was later shifted to Hapoli. But geographical address was not changed for the reason best known to the then administrator.
As of today, Ziro and Hapoli are two separate circles. Ziro is a notified SDO headquarter whereas Hapoli is a district headquarters of Lower Subansiri district. The official anonym of Hapoli is likely to hinder the political, administrative, economical and geographical development not only of Lower Subansiri district but of entire state.

When protector turns destroyer
Dear Editor,
As a layman we feel that police is for protection of common citizen and guardian
of law. While joining force they take pledge to safeguard the interest of common
citizen and protect it from every kind of robbery, dacoity, violence especially in
the case of children and woman but for goon police the uniform is just a simple piece
of cloth and national pledge is like a joke. On 30th Nov 2013 at around 6 pm two
policemen Marak Doka, police constable and L Buni, Sub-
This is a matter of great concern for all common citizen of Arunachal Pradesh especially for woman section of society. How can a police with their Khaki WARDI and pistol who are suppose to protect the woman and children can misuse their uniform and government weapons and attack a private resident at around 6pm and brutally beats up the woman? Does police think that Khaki Wardi and police station are their ancestor’s property or are they above the law????And why the Superintendent of Police, East Kameng is not taking any action against these goons police till now and supporting the goon police?????? The district administration needs to answer this kind of injustice practicing now at Seppa police department. The erring officers who misuse the government uniform and machinery are not fit to serve in a very responsible and important job like police. They should be terminated from their service so that it will remain as an example for future and no one will dare to repeat such crime again. So I request Arunachal Pradesh state commission for woman (APSCW) and Arunachal Pradesh Women’s Welfare Society (APWWS) to help Yamak Phassang and take up this case so that highest punishment should be given to culprits.
Yours,
Chapo Phassang

Follow proper recruitment process
Dear Editor,
Through the column of your esteemed daily I would like to lay down the following

Surveyor Employees Association (AAPSEA) recently held a meeting at hotel Chandni,
Naharlagun which was attended by surveyors from across the state. We had discussed
the points regarding up-
The AAPSEA has found that some of the department had diverted few promotional posts to direct recruitment under pressure from some politicians and had not even followed the promotion rules of 80:20 ratios in the past few years. Due to it, the APST officers were victimized by getting stagnate in the same post for over a decade. We would like to inform all the engineering department that AAPSEA would not tolerate such kind of deceitful act ever again and we also request all the HOD's of various engineering department not to repeat the same mistake in future, so that the working spirit of the employees may not be discouraged and the cordial relations between the employees and the HOD's be maintained.
The AAPSEA also urge the dept. of PHED and RWD to conduct DPC of the regular-

Picture exposed the true facts
Dear Editor,
This is in references to photo caption news published in your daily on 22nd December stating ‘all is not well in border’ by Vijay Sonam. First of all I value his audacious work and it is very upsetting to see such photo. The Saria and Langchu Puriok villages are most interior villages of Khenewa Hq. As concerned inhabitant I want to acquaint all the readers that the photo exposed the true fact.
The picture shows us ill working pattern of contractor and executing agency. We cannot totally blame on contractor. The local contractors always want to make some money. Also earning money in easy way is first agenda of our leaders. The total responsibility lies with executing agency who prepares the bill without physical verification. Are they compelled to pass the bill due to pressure from higher authority? In this situation we public are the loser. Our development gets affected and we lags behind other district and state as a whole. The effort of State Govt to bring PURIOK community into mainstream society will go in vain.
Yours,
