AAPPTU against imposition of 12.5 pc entry tax on commercial vehicles purchased from other states
ITANAGAR, Jan 24: The All Arunachal Pradesh Public Transport Union (AAPPTU) is opposed to the levying of 12.5 per cent entry tax on commercial vehicles purchased from other states.

“We encourage imposition of entry tax @ 2 to 3 per cent for economic development of our state but imposition of entry tax @ 12.5 percent is exorbitant and very harsh on us poor tribal people.” It should not be at the cost of our poor and underprivileged downtrodden tribal people, it further added urging to reconsider the imposition of 12.5 per cent entry tax.

The NPF team was confronted by group of Arunachalee students who opposed their move to start its Arunachal unit. It is quite surprising how NPF leaders manage to enter state without ILP. What was Arunachal Pradesh Police posted at Banderdewa gate doing? The visiting NPF leaders not only broke law but also breached state protocol. As they were traveling under escort of Nagaland police, which is only provided to VIPs, the NPF leaders should have informed state protocol department beforehand. The NPF team was later externed out from Itanagar at the direction of magistrate after their team leaders were produced before local magistrate. The timely action by capital police is appreciable. The incident is a wakeup call for state government.

Respect status quo order
Dear Editor,
Apropos to the news items published in your esteemed daily on 21st January under the headline Tuki calls for expeditious forest clearance of projects, in which Chief Minister made an appeal to the planning commission for early release of fund for land acquisition to construct Greenfield Airport. Such appeal is contradict to the order of the Hon’ble Guahati High Court order dated 25th April 2013 passed in the PIL No. 6 of 2013 filed by Taniang Kipa wherein the court had directed both parties to maintain status quo in regards to airport location. It is my humble request to the Planning Commission not to release fund for Land Acquisition till the disposal of PIL No. 6 of 2013 which is pending before the Hon’ble Gauhati High Court, so as to avoid contempt proceeding and as well as in the interest of the public at large. At last I being the president of Banderdewa circle intellectual Forum (BCIF) would sincerely appeal all the NGOs, Students Unions and political parties of the state to extend support for our cause.

It’s becoming a big headache
Dear Editor,
Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention
of Education Minister and authority concerned towards a very serious problem of negligence
regarding disbursement of salary of SSA teachers. I am a regular reader of your reputed
esteemed daily and I have written many times regarding problems of disbursement of
monthly salaries of SSA teachers. I have read news and articles related to SSA teacher’s
salary woes whereby they are pleading for release of salary but education department
and authority concern are still silent. It is a matter of deep agony that the department
of Education is not ready to release the long pending salaries of the SSA teachers.
As we know that the salary is essential for our daily needs and requirements since
there is no alternative source left for us. Now a day, the prices of even essential
commodities have gone so high and it is tough to run the home. Like other starving
teachers, I too have not received my salary till now. I want to know what is the
specific reason behind the non-
The constant delay in release of SSA teacher’s salary has become big headache for all of us. It is a humiliation when authorities talk about the betterment of elementary education in rural areas, which can only be achieved when teachers will show sincerity and promptness to the noble profession provided they are paid the monthly wages on time. Instead of encouraging us they keep pointing towards our drawbacks. Why don’t they pay heed to our problems, despite knowing our sufferings?
How many times should I go to ATM or bank to check my account and collect updates all the day regarding payment? Hence I on behalf of all the SSA teachers (AT/JT) of state would like to appeal to the state govt., education minister as well as education department to kindly pay attention towards grievances of the SSA teachers and take some steps to release the salaries with immediate effect.
Yours,

Rumgong area devoid of true development
Dear Editor,
I, being an Educated Youth of 32nd Rumgong ST Assembly constituency would like to draw the attention of Arunachal Pradesh Government towards issue concerning 32nd Rumgong ST Assembly constituency area. Our constituency is going back ward in place of going forward with regards to development. To cite an example, there is still some circle where public has never seen their circle officer due to lack of communication, incomplete bridge and absense of government quarters etc. No officers dare to walk 12 hour foot march to reach their office. One of the best examples is Payum circle of our constituency.
MLALAD and other developmental schemes that State Government provides to us are not being used properly. The public property is built in their own private land for self use only. This is all done by our political leaders. But now, we the educated youths of 32nd Rumgong constituency are not going to remain silent anymore and have decided to revolt against the corruption evils. We appeal to the public of 32nd Rumgong who lives in different parts of Arunachal Pradesh to cooperate with your educated youth in this coming 2014 Assembly election.
