APPDSU urges teachers to serve at rural areas
ITANAGAR, Jul 09: Overcrowding of teachers in urban areas of Papum Pare district has deprived the poor students of their study in the interior area of the district. The situation has aggravated as the teachers are unwilling to join the schools in interior areas despite transfer order issued by the higher authority, according to All Papum Pare District Students Union.
The District Students Union, which has been advocating for proportionate distribution of teachers in all schools of the district, said that many teachers were transferred from the Capital region to interior schools of the district. But those transferred teachers are running from pillar to post for cancellation/retention of their transfer order instead of joining at their respective posting places, it said.
The APPDSU requested the transferred teachers to immediately join at their respective posting place and also urged the concern principals, headmasters to release them without delay. It further appealed to the Papum Pare deputy commissioner and Deputy Director of School Education not to cancel the posting orders and issue standing directives for immediate joining of transferred teacher at their posting places.
Teachers should not compromise with the quality of education in rural area, the Union said and requested the public leaders and Panchayat members not to intervene in transfer process of the teachers.

Govt to regularize encroached land
Taba Ajum
ITANAGAR, Jul 09: In a controversial decision Arunachal Pradesh government has decided to start process of regularization of government land occupied by private individuals, state and central government establishment in capital complex and also in all districts of state with immediate effect.
A decision to this affect was taken by state cabinet to apparently ‘plug the leakage of revenue mobilization in various departments’. Item No. 3 of cabinet notification issued on 8th June by Joint Secretary (Cabinet), Government of Arunachal directed land management department to initiate and examine regularization process after proper survey and verification as per existing Acts and Rule.
The notice further reads, “All Government land remaining unused under the occupation
of central government agencies, corporation, central Para-
There is no doubt that state government need to take drastic measures for revenue generation in the state.
However decision for regularization of government land occupied by private individuals might encourage land grabber and land mafias to indulge in more land encroachment of government land. There are reports of rampant land encroachment of government land in various parts of state with state capital being worst affected.
Not surprisingly, majority of encroachments in capital complex have been done by government officers including senior bureaucrats and high profile government officers and politicians.
According to a source, immense pressure has been put on state government by these high profile groups of people for the regularization of government land occupied by them.
In recent month members of Arunachal Law Students Union (ALSU) had taken up strong movement against government land encroachers in the state capital.
Last November ALSU had conducted survey in capital complex and found that 80% of land encroachers are government employees and remaining from other walks of life. It will be interesting to see how student unions and concern citizens of state react to this cabinet decision.
Centre commits to holistic development of Arunachal: PM
NEW DELHI, Jul 09: Chief Minister Nabam Tuki today called on Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh here at South Block, Raisana Hill to discuss on various issues concerning the state.
Dr Singh, who gave a patient hearing to Tuki, reassured the Center’s concern for

The recent devastating floods and damages caused to life and property figured prominently in the discussion.
The Chief Minister narrated in details the loss incurred by the state in the recent floods. Torrential rains had created havoc across the state in the last few weeks cutting off several parts and causing irreversible damages to infrastructure like roads, bridges and culverts besides taking a couple of lives.
Appreciating the Prime Minister for taking time out to take stock of the flood situation in Assam, Tuki asserted that the loss and damages caused to Arunachal is of no less magnitude. He appealed the Prime Minister to depute a central team to visit the state and assess the ground reality. In this regard, he informed, a request for the same has already been intimated to the Union Home Ministry.
The Chief Minister also explained in details the financial difficulties being faced by the state in absence of adequate resource generating capabilities of its own. He said the State Government and the people of Arunachal have very high expectations from the Central Government. On his part, Tuki assured judicious utilization of central funds and timely completion of each and every project.
Tuki, meanwhile, reiterated the support extended to the UPA’s Presidential Candidate, Pranab Mukherjee on behalf of the state Congress as the CLP leader.
Ganga Lake; forgotten tourist spot
Amar Sangno
ITANAGAR, Jul 09: Gone are the days when tourists flocked Gyakar Sinyi popularly known as Ganga Lake, few kilometers from the state Capital.
However over the last one year, the lone tourist hot spot of state capital has become a forlorn lake and no longer attracts tourist as compared to the last two years.
Apart from floating bottles and garbage heaps, the lake is reportedly a den for illegal fishing and rampant felling of trees in and around the Lake. Even the infrastructure within the Lake is in tatters.
The lake is not under the care of only one department but three; tourism, fishery and the forest; however none of them seems interested for the up gradation and maintenance of lake.
Meya Dodum, wife of caretaker of the Lake Sama Dodum while interacting with this correspondent said that none of the department is coming forward to take up the matter concerning the Lake.
“In spite of our repeated pleas for the renovation and maintenance of infrastructures and erection of concrete dustbins, the tourism department has not paid any attention,” she added.
She also informed that at many occasions they have caught people openly fishing and felling tree. However she said that they are unable to take action to stop such illegal acts.
Due to lack of civic sense, cleanliness and responsibilities among the youths, who often visit the Lake, the situation has worsened, she said.
If the departments responsible for the Park do not come forward to take up responsibilities to maintain the lake, the glory of lone lake would soon be gone, no matter how many clean drives are organized.
Papum Pare, N.Lakhimpur to initiate joint patrolling along the boundary
ITANAGAR, Jul 09: As a sequel to the joint meeting held in June last year at the chamber of DC Capital another round of interaction meeting was held today in Yupia between the district administrations of Papum Pare and North Lakhimpur.
Pige Ligu and Dr Dr Anwaruddin Choudhury consented to carry out joint patrolling along the boundary and initiate action against any encroachment on the both sides of the boundary.
A similar kind of meeting was held on April 7 last at Gohpur, Assam between Sonitpur and Papum Pare administrations wherein a committee comprising of officers of both districts was constituted who shall jointly patrol the boundary areas and initiate action against any encroachment on the both sides of the boundary.
Accordingly in today’s meeting the same strategy was resolved to be implemented in case of Lakhimpur and Papum Pare district too. Both the DCs agreed to conduct a formal meeting very soon at Lakhimpur to keep the cordial relation. Other issues pertaining to protection of forests from wanton encroachment, preservation of wildlife, keeping provision for elephant corridor and elephant sanctuary were discussed in the meeting.
Lakhimpur SP PK Bhuyan, Papum Pare SP Nabam Gungte, host of administrative officers including ADC Yupia, SDO (Sadar), EACs and COs of Papum Pare attended the meeting.
The meeting was informal in nature but various issues pertaining to maintenance of peace and tranquility along the border was discussed.
Ligu thanked DC and SP of Lakhimpur for visiting Yupia.
ITANAGAR, Jul 09: Adi Students Union (AdiSU) staged a three hours dharna at DC office premise in Pasighat today demanding action against SP East Siang Pushpendar Kumar for allegedly misbehaving with students during the visit of the chief minister to Pasighat in April this year.
Obuk Gao General Secretary of the AdiSU informed that AdiSU had lodged complaint at PS Pasighat on the same day complaining against the misbehaviour but there has been no registration of the case.
AdiSU today submitted a memorandum demanding registration of criminal case against the officer, his immediate suspension and transfer from Pasighat and a public apology from him to AdiSU and ABK and women.
It threatened to initiate another agitation if action were not taken against the SP.
The ADC while responding to the demands reportedly promised to apprise the matter to higher authority.
The dharna ended peacefully but students shouted slogans against the SP.
Around 200 students from D.Ering Hr Sec School, IGJ Hr Sec.School, JN College and other schools of township took part in agitation.
AAPSU protests school admission of Chakma-
ITANAGAR, Jul 09: All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has vehemently protested the granting of admission to 39 students belonging to Chakma and Hajong refugees in Kharsang and Miao Higher Secondary Schools at the direction of National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR).
Referring to a letter to Secretary (Political), Government of Arunachal Pradesh by Dr L.Mishra, Special Adviser, NCPCR last month directing admission of Chakma and Hajong Refugee (CHR) students in Kharsang and Miao Higher Secondary Schools, AAPSU in its letter to Chief Secretary said that as many as 39 students belonging to Chakma and Hajong Refugees have been reportedly given admission in both the schools at the cost of Indigenous Child’s right.
“AAPSU is not against the right to education policy but it opposes the insensitive act of the NCPCR which mostly affected the children of Singpho and Tangsa community. This act seems to be purported at the behest of Chakma and Hajong refugee lobbyist without weighing the pros and cons at the ground level because the indigenous children are also finding it difficult to get admission in schools due to lack of infrastructure and requisite man power,” the letter said.
“The mandate of NCPCR as proclaimed by them to protect, promote and defend child rights should not be confined to children of Chakma and Hajong refugees only. It should also cover the indigenous children so that they could also enjoy the benefit out of their compassionate policies. “The Chakma Hajong refugees have now ventured out of their allotted blocks and are actively involved in usurping lands of indigenous people, the letter said while pointing out the various problems being created by the Chakma Hajong refugees in the state. AAPSU claimed that about 80 percent cadres of United People Democratic Fronts (UPDF), a terror group active in Changlang and Lohit district, are belonged to Chakma Hajong refugees.
Taking into account the threat and future probable implications, AAPSU while voicing for child rights of indigenous students on priority basis urged the CS to immediately take necessary step, so that the basic rights of indigenous students are not compromised at any cost.

APSTC buses needs maintenance
Dear Editor,
This is regarding the recent APSTC bus accident in Kimin. It happened so that last week I was travelling along with my parents from Kimin to Itanagar in an Arunachal Pradesh State transport bus. I could see that our bus was dirty, shabby and looked as if unwashed for a year. I could also hear the broken windows and grills making a jingling sound. Still we continued our journey. But before reaching Pohumara something went wrong with our bus and it took U turn and fell down in the nearby pool. But with God’s grace none of us had a major injury, though all the passengers were in panic and fear due to the sudden accident. Now my question to the concerned authority is that why are we made to travel in a same old dilapidated bus which threatens the safety and security of the passengers. I also don’t understand what our bus staffs are doing. They are being paid by the government to look after the maintenance of the bus. So our bus Staff needs to be more focused on their duty and reduce their intake of alcohol while driving. As a resident of Kimin I would like to request the concern department to replace our old bus with a new one. My request also goes to the leaders and the denizens of Kimin kindly pay attention to the above mentioned.
Yours,
Bengia Taja

Please join your school
Dear Editor,
It has come to our notice that many teachers have been transferred and posted to various interior schools of Papum Pare District by the Deputy Director of School Education, but due to the negligence of teachers and their reluctance to serve in rural areas, the interior schools of the district are without teachers.
Particularly, in my school, four teachers have been posted since last academic session and none of them have joined their duties till date.
It is beyond understandable why these teachers namely Karluk Sora and Okeng Dai (posted last academic year), Rujap Doni, Nyajum Yinyo (posted this year) have not joined their place of duty.
Due to such negligence attitude of teachers, the schools of interior are stagnated when it comes to teaching and learning process. Also it is not understood why the authority concerned have not taken action against those teachers who have ignored the orders of the higher authorities.

Save our environment
Dear Editor,
Of late, the people of Arunachal Pradesh are becoming more aware on the need of clean environment.
The people are now opposing any kind of activities which may cause health hazard and pollute our environment.
People in the state are launching an agitation to protect our environment and maintain hygienic life.
Unfortunately, rapid urbanization and industrialization have become a major cause of environmental pollution.
The environmental awakening of general masses is a welcome sign. It would make Arunachal a better place to live in.

Water crisis
Demand for safe drinking water in India is growing at alarming rate as the millions
of people lack access to it till date. The situation is getting worse due to mismanagement
of water resources. Experts feel that drinking water crisis in our country is predominantly

A new study by the Asian Development Bank finds that in Asia and the Pacific region
29 billion cubic meters of water is lost each year -
The study identifies seven universal themes to serve as a model for replication by

In our country, government must balance competing demands between urban and rural, rich and poor, the economy and the environment. An immediate solution to India’s water crisis is to change water management practices by regulating usage with effective legislation.
