News Impact
How many speak in our
mother tongue?
Dear Editor,
This is in response to news item under the heading "Siram urges centre to include Arunachal languages in Bharat Bhasa Vikas Yojna" which is a good idea.
The languages of Arunachal are endangered and who is responsible? We are!!!! It is the time to do something to preserve our languages. Today if our languages are endangered, it’s not because of anyone but because of ourselves.
How many of us use our tribal language to communicate among your fellow tribe friends? Answer would be only few. Today how many of the parents of urban areas use own language at home with their children?
Again the answer would be few. Now how many high school or college students speak
their own language with people of the same tribe? Again the answer would be few.
The reason-
If the same trend continues, the time is not so far to read in history syllabus the names of Arunachal languages. Dear parents, you can bring a change.
Yours,
D. Hania.
Messages far detached from
the truth
Dear Editor,
Through the column of your esteemed daily and with a begging of an apology to the
concerned people this article is directed to, I would like to express my hard-
Like every year, this year too, on the occasion of the World Environment Day, the Governor, the CM and the Environment Minister relayed to the state the message of environment bounty of our state, the commitment towards its protection and the harnessing of its resources in a sustainable manner.
The messages, with an irony, under the symbol and the motive ‘satyameva jayate’, are far detached from the truth around. Detached, I call it so, because, the messages of biodiversities and sustainability are invalidated long back when the irresponsible people have sounded the death knell by allowing reckless mining of natural resources, signing of hydro power MoUs, logging of virgin forests, mindless collection of river boulders, etc. without ever addressing their devastating consequences on the environment.
Take a trouble by stepping down from your vehicle when you see some dark foot prints by the side of the road while ever travelling to district headquarter Changlang, follow them and you will find a cleverly hidden coal depot by some bamboo grooves. That is how our environment caretakers are committing themselves to papers, faraway from the ground realities.
Kharsang the treasure trove of the black gold-
Not to mention of the several timber saw mills packed in a single stretch of compound that are working full time on the other side of the Namchik river. The verdict of the supreme court of India failed to make any impact beyond the huge gates of the mills’ compound. Consequently, the felling of trees is same or even worse not sparing even the few years’ old immature trees.
True to our position in the top of the ecological pyramid, we are outright consumers that know only to gather and consume and hardly able to provide anything to our environment back. The greedy planners and the profiteers are as good as the owner in the story ‘the golden egg laying chicken’. Out of his greediness the owner killed the chicken thinking that he can get all the golden eggs at one go instead of nurturing it for it to keep laying the golden eggs for a long time.
We all agree that development comes at a cost, but, the cost must not be so high as to obliterate the existence of our whole future generations. Mindless exploitation of our environment is like committing a homicide, an act that will slowly but certainly kill the future generations by choking the environment that might have sustained them otherwise.
Try to ponder deeply, that, we are living in a unique planet called earth. We must not think that the action in some far of place will not affect us here or our action here will not affect some far of place. Countries are bounded, not the planet earth.
Yours
Tangmi

APSCW enquiry committee on Daporijo MMS scandal reveal startling details
ASI Bo and Head Constable Duyu Tatu accused in rape cases too
ITANAGAR, June 8: The 3-
“ASI Bo and Head Constable Duyu Tatu, who had track record of criminal activities, Constable Rajesh Nayam and Constable Tapor Naroh have committed heinous crime by forcing two minors to perform sexual act in public place and taking its photograph with ulterior motive which is contrary to their pledge of allegiance to uphold the rule of law and prevent crime in the society as a member of law enforcing authority,” the committee headed by APSCW vice chairperson, in its report submitted to APSCW after conducting a thorough inquiry into the whole episode, said. Prior to the MMS scandal, both Bo and Duyu were accused of rape cases and suspended from their services when they were in the rank of constables. However, they were acquitted from the cases on ‘certain grounds,’ the committee informed.
Questioning the promotion of both the police personnel despite of their criminal track record, the committee demanded for constitution of a high level inquiry committee headed by an officer not below the rank of SP, preferably an IPS cadre, to enquire the legitimacy and genuineness of their promotion.
It also questioned as to why the Daporijo Police did not maintain the General Diary
(GD) of the police station referring the detention of both the victims since maintenance
of GD in police station is a must as it demanded investigation regarding non-
“The Government should provide Rs.5 Lakh each to both the victims on compensation ground for violating their freedom of rights guaranteed to its citizen by the Constitution of India under Art. 12, damaging the career of both the teenagers as well as tarnishing the reputation of the victims’ families by men in uniform, the recommendation letter added.
Meanwhile, it suggested that the judgement of DK Bosu of Supreme Court, which came in light of the abuse of power by police and issues of custodial violence to protect the rights of the accused, should be strictly followed by all the police stations in the state.
Other suggestions include installation of CCTVs in all police stations, establishment

He added that the residential facilities if extended more in numbers in the remote areas of Arunachal Pradesh for both teachers and students can really contribute much to reduce teacher’s absenteeism and drop out of students. More number of KGBV in the state can improve the status of the girls because emergence of KGBV has become a boon for the tribal girls in the state. He also pleaded for the extension of Management Monitoring Evaluation and Research in the centrally sponsored schemes.
On the issue of RTE status, school mapping and teachers education which were the parts of agenda of the conference, Siram focused on the state government preparedness which was widely appreciated by MHRD. Further on the issues of RMSA, PPP in school education and Sakshar Bharat Mission, he reaffirmed the state government commitment.

Pistol found in car of RTI activist

ITANAGAR, June 8: Kargu Kardi Student’s Union (KKSU) has alleged mismanagement of fund by WRD Basar Division.
It said that the Union had asked for explanation in white paper. But the department concerned is unable to even furnish the information, regarding the usage of fund, when the Union sought information under R.T.I Act it said
It has been established by the information furnished by the Water Resource Department (WRD) Basar Division that an amount of Rupees 64, 93.51 lakhs was allotted in the last AOP to the department. The funds had been drawn as per the targets projected in the AOP but it has been not utilized as per the target and for which the fund was allocated. The utilization of fund is totally unknown to the masses and mysteriously the fund has been almost used up, it said.
We have been pursuing the department to furnish the information regarding the utilization of fund but they are unable to do so. By not replying to the information sought in this regard through the RTI Act, they have even breached the right of seeking information. It establishes the fact that the concerned department is misguiding the masses and has kept the public in confusion, the Union said.
While appealing the state government to look into the matter and unearth the whole issue, the Union said that it would launch agitation if the details were not made known.
