Decentralize the recruitment system
Dear Editor,
We would like to draw the attention of the Government of Arunachal Pradesh to the fact that we oppose all kinds of appointment made at the state level for contractual jobs and CD grade in every Dept. Majority of the native youths are not entertained in various C & D categories created within the district.
It is unfortunate for a community like Idu Mishmi with a negligible population to be marginalized in the job sector. Various government departments within the district have not employed the native people especially in C & D grade job sector. There is unequal divide in terms of local and non local government employees.
Due to massive unemployment and poverty, today our people are selling their land
for survival. Socio-
Recently in a letter to Mission Director, NRHM, we (the IMCLS) had opposed to the appointment of Data Assistant & District Mobilizer under ASHA (NRHM), Roing, and Lower Dibang Valley Dist. In reply, Mission Director had stated that they were appointed as per the guidelines, but we feel that the guidelines must be modified; all the appointments for contractual jobs and CD grade staff in every dept. must be decentralized so that locals can benefit. We had also demanded that the above said two posts be vacated immediately and replaced by candidates from our district. Adherence to the guidelines is a lame excuse by the higher authorities in the state machinery to sell or gift these jobs to their preferred candidates, which is of course a widely known fact. We have no faith in recruitment system of the govt. Therefore we strongly demand that all appointments be made at the district level henceforth. We have temporarily recalled the move to close down the DMO’s office with regard to above mentioned demands but if our demands are not met we reiterate our determination to fight tooth and nail.
Yours,
Tone Mickrow

Respect is earned not forced
Dear Editor,
One rotten apple spoils the barrel. Students Union the very term suggests: it works for the betterment of students. And when it comes to Arunachal, it is a home to innumerous Unions. I acknowledged their determination and continuous effort on behalf of Arunachalee youth. But then, I am bound to say there are unspecified occurrences, where the highly respected students union’s unnamed workers, indulged into manipulating the innocent citizens for their own benefit.
It is a sad truth, but tough to ignore. Especially, when a person terrorizes you and expects you to respect them. Many have forgotten – Respect is earned not forced.
With this regard, I would like to highlight an incident, which took place on 6th Feb, in full view, 40 km from Along. Atege Linggi (Assistant Professor), a humble man, beside his friend was advancing towards Along, when a group of boys with banners stuck in their car was approaching from the opposite direction. The victim having a good practical sense halted his vehicle, for the other vehicle to pass by comfortably. But they were not satisfied with his courteousness and had to hit the victim’s car to satisfy their personal ego.
Well, in this situation any other person will be apologetic, but in this case one person named Kangge Moyong, claiming to be president of All East Siang District Students Union (AESDSU) brutally manhandled Prof Atege for pointing out their wild attitude. Its shame that person who claim himself to be president of district student union of a supposedly better educated district of East Siang indulge in such cheap and brutal acts. If this is mentality of a leader, then what kind of union he must be heading? It sounds more like a group of goonda conglomeration than a real student union.
During the same incident, they ordered him to bow head with an apology. To this, Atege Linggi, being an individual with self –esteem did not stoop by their demands. Further, he challenged them with a written complaint in Pasighat Police station. In response, among the nine offenders, five were arrested and also let off within an hour.
I, on behalf, of denizens of the state, appeal to all the existing student unions to penalize the culprits who tries to malign your reputation and also to elect candidates who are morally and socially responsible.
Yours,
Taw Nana,
New Delhi
We are deprived of our right
Dear Editor,
I would like to highlight the stipend issue here through these daily to make every
one Informed. Many students avail their stipends from North Eastern Council (NEC)
scholarship-
It’s needless to mention that many of our poor student friends rely on these stipends to meet their basic necessities. Now we have been deprived of our rights and we can’t do anything for this.
I may be blamed for not understanding the loopholes and policies of Govt. and in depth story of what the matter have been. But I really feel something should have been done for our student fraternity in this regard if they think the issue Is worth addressing.
Lastly, its an appeal to the premier pressure groups like APPSU to intervene and
make some way out of the crisis, as always we are eyeing on you as the ultimate life-
Yours,
Lamgan Wangsu,
Student of NERIST, Nirjuli
Good begining
Dear Editor,
I would like to thank DC L/Subansiri for her initiative to develop our district.
Few days back, she said that no land encroachment will be tolerated within office premises or government quarters. We all citizens will be very pleased if she stands by her words. I can bet on anything that there's not a place in Arunachal where there's no illegal land encroachments. I hope every DC should adopt this policy on their respective districts.
Again I want to thank her for taking initiative for developing tourism in our district. In my opinion, the very first step should be cleaning the localities, constructing proper drainage system, repairing road, implementing law on unplanned construction of houses and buildings and felling of immature trees etc.
The most important task is cleanliness and renovation of road. Everyone is aware of the condition of road that runs within our district. I don't know what was our previous DC doing. I hope you don't let us down again.
Yours,
N L Richo,
NIT Patna
