Babul Dkhar
Shillong, Jul 19: Chief of the Army Staff General VK Singh said that the arrest of Chinese spies from Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland was not a cause for any alarm.
“Let us make sure that nothing goes wrong in our family so that nobody will fish for trouble,” General Singh said.

nationals from a valley near the state’s border with Arunachal Pradesh. The two had

“We cannot have our own people (Army) get hauled up by the court of law when trying to fight against well trained and armed militants,” he said.
AFSPA has been termed as draconian act by human rights groups as well as the civil society especially of the North East.

RTI Act: transparency and accountability
Suraj Tayang
The RTI awards have entered its second year and it’s time to reminisce that our state’s information commission was adjudged and honour as the best information commission during the previous year. Though at a nascent stage, since the enactment of this landmark act in 2005 with a view to bring in a culture of transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, it’s proving a potent weapon to curb the menace of corruption rampant in the country in general and our state in particular. Through this act, various scams have been exposed and several corrupt bureaucrats and politicians have been brought to the dock for their impropriety. Conscious citizens need to be well informed and the RTI Act has enabled them to seek information which is a prerequisite for the smooth functioning of democracy.
But this quest for truth is abhorred by some people at the helm of affairs. The RTI activists are often intimidated and obstacles are created to discourage them from obtaining the correct information. Through the printing and electronic media, I got to know that in Bihar and some other states, the activists are often implicated under false criminal charges by the person who doesn’t want the facts to get exposed owing to reasons best known to them. However the activists get acquitted by the judiciary and they resumed their pursuit of seeking the truth thus sending the message that “truth triumphs”.
The situation in our state is somewhat similar. It’s evident that through RTI, corruption has been brought down to some extent. For instance, few cases has come to light in which funds meant for some development schemes were earlier siphoned off by the authorities concerned in nexus with some people with vested interest.
When they were brought under the scanner of RTI, the funds were ultimately utilized. Many illegal appointments to undeserving candidates also got exposed and those candidates are on the verge of termination. Consequently it would pave the way for other deserving candidates there are numerous other cases in which this act created substantial impact.
Though such positive outcomes of the RTI are appreciated by the common citizens, it irks some unscrupulous individuals who intimidate the activists. It’s unfortunate to note that, under the intoxication of power, they often forget that this act has been enacted by the parliament, which is the highest law making institution. So every citizen has got the responsibility to honour it and the right to exercise it. Information regarding sensitive issues are ought to be kept secret. For instance defence and security matters foreign policy matters or anything that might affect communal harmony. But is it right to keep information related to development a secret? What then is the difference between the authoritarian British regime and our democracy? If somebody is against the invoking of RTI, it’s a clear indication that something is wrong. The opponents of RTI should realize that the activists are mavericks, who can’t be subdued by intimidation. And their quest for truth will persist, despite the hurdles on their path and the public is ought to support them. Considering the track record of our SIC till date, it can be termed as a reliable and competent commission which had once issued arrest warrant against an erring PIO for violating the commission’s order. Consequently it has won the appreciation of the citizens desirous to collect information through the RTI. Now that nominations are being invited for the RTI award this year, May the best that had raised the bar of RTI win the awards. (The contributor is an Activist based in Tezu.

Police Deptt. has to introspect
Dear Editor,
I am shocked, angry and aggrieved to learn about the inhuman, barbaric and uncivilized treatment meted out to Lt. Jumchi Nguso by the police personnel. What was his fault? What he has done to deserve this death. May be his only fault was that he came across a police gypsy while crossing the road and injured himself in the process.
Now instead of taking him to the nearby hospital the police personnel took him to police station. When he was eventually brought to the hospital, he was handcuffed.
This is a case of serious violation of human rights on the part of police Deptt. Deceased was not a criminal nor he was involved in any criminal activities. He was just a simple human being like any of us, busy in bringing up his four little children and devoted towards his work. Now who will fill up the vacuum created by his death? Police Deptt. has to do lots of introspection.
Erring police officials and officers involved in the death of Lt. Jumchi Nguso should be booked under IPC 302 and should be punished for their heinous crime. My heart goes out for the family members of Lt. Jumchi Nguso, The acts of police brutality and atrocities has brought all citizens together. Never before I have witnessed or heard such a united stand taken up by the various organizations, irrespective of their affiliation in the state. United we stand, divided we fall.

For the interest of few
Dear Editor,
Much have been said and observed on the issue of hydro power projects in Arunachal
Pradesh. With the protest, condemnation and suggestions from various quarters, it
is now un-
Such misdeeds and lackadaisical attitude of the state government indicates the petty interests of the few in the helm of affairs. The state Government has undermined the sentiments of the people. It is a wrong perception on the part of the government that people rise, protest and give bandh call and forget everything with the issues going to cold storage. It lies with the people to accept such governance.

Upper Subansiri needs a College
Dear Editor,
It is a matter of great concern that this year more than 60% of Upper Subansiri District studying in DNGC has failed the 1st year undergraduate examinations especially in B.A.
This is a severe blow to the dreams of those parents who, after a great toils & hardships, most even selling their local valuable ornaments and mithuns , send their wards to the college in the hope that the later would become well qualified officers or complete the graduation with colorful marks . This has become a common phenomenon for the students of the district studying in DNGC. But till now no one, even the concerned student unions and other associations, has ever bothered to think about the reasons behind such mass failure every year. The main fact is that now several schools in the district are witnessing a huge spate of students. And these mass number of students, after completing their higher secondary level, opt for the already flooded DNGC Itanagar for their graduation. Here, students face innumerable problems. The first thing is that it is almost impossible to get the hostel accommodations. So, many has to opt for rent houses. Again , to get a rent house is also almost impossible . Even the few that might be available are beyond the range of the students. The lucky few might get few days accommodation at their relative's house that are most often unsuitable for study. The majority rest, not being able to attend even a single lecture, have to stay back at their home town to rely on their self study method that too under full disturbance and tensions. As a result they become irregular in study and subsequently fails. The time and situations have drastically changed. Now, the number of higher secondary pass out students in the district are increasing at great pace. If by now no initiative is taken then very soon these students will not get the space even for enrollment in any colleges in Arunachal Pradesh
So, it is a high time for the concerned authority to take the immediate steps to realize the proposed setting up of college in the Upper Subansiri district.

Tagore was an Indian
Dear Editor,
This is in response to Mr. Montu Swargiary's letter "There is something in a name"( 17 July).
Swargiary holds every right to not support the process of naming of Agartala's airport after Rabindranath Tagore, he may also prefer to see a Bhavan named after any Assamese cultural icon instead of Rabindranath; but he simply holds no moral authority to denigrate the great bard.
Tagore might not have any contribution in the socio-
Thus, being citizens of India and the world and for being part of human race, Assamese
community automatically found its place in Tagore's mind. Tagore religiously fought
against exploitation of any community, women folk, children and common people. His
thoughts on education, emancipation of women, communal harmony and international
relations are very much relevant even today. He always dreamt of a world where communities
will merge together to act as true human beings, but by retaining respective cultural
uniqueness. Thus Tagore was not only a Bengali; he was also an Indian, a citizen
of the world and humanity-
-
Moreover, Rabindra-
It is a matter of utmost shame that far from respecting Tagore or supporting any process to name a landmark after him, certain people of his very own beloved country are invoking regionalism and disregarding his contributions to the society.
