BJP lambast UPA for feeble foreign policy, question silence on Tsangpo project
Staff Reporter
ITANAGAR, June 25: Bharatiya Janata Party today lambasted the UPA Govt for its alleged failure to raise strong protest against construction of dam on River Brahmaputra (Tsangpo) by China.
Addressing the mediapersons here on the occasion of 36th anniversary of ‘Save Democracy
day’, BJP national vice-
Chakravorty, who is also Arunachal in-
However, External Affairs Minister SM Krishna recently clarified that Centre is closely
monitoring China’s dam construction. “We have ascertained from our own sources that
this is a run of the river hydro-
Chakravorty said eight districts of Arunachal bordering China have no roads or other infrastructure facilities whereas China has built roads on the other side of the border. ''If a situation like 1962 is repeated, what will be the fate of the people of North East,'' she wondered and called upon the government of India to be in full preparedness to thwart any aggression by China.
While lashing out at Arunachal Pradesh Govt for paving way for large number of power developers for construction of dam in the state, the BJP leader said, state Govt failed to take people into confidence on dam issue. Dam construction may create employment opportunity for few educated youths of the state, but what will be the future of large number of common people who are likely to be displaced by dam, she questioned.
Coming down heavily on Congress leaders who had recently visited State Capital, the BJP national vice president said instead of finding a solution to underdevelopment of the state, the Congress leader preferred to blame BJP on corruption issue.
She said BJP have been and will raise corruption of Congress Govt.
Stating that both Ramdev and Anna Hazare are enjoying the support of crores of people in their fight against corruption, Chakravorty denounced the Congress allegation that BJP and RSS were behind Hazare and Ramdev’s ongoing agitation against corruption.
Instead of leveling baseless allegation the Congress should concentrate on the development of the state, she said.
The BJP leader claimed despite huge potentials in tourism sector, the state Govt failed to bring in possible development in this sector. She blamed the Congress party for not doing anything for the state despite being in power for last many decades.
The state is still deprived of a engineering or medical college, she pointed out while adding that education scenario in interior area of the state is still in nascent stage.
The state BJP president Dr Tangor Tapak and general secretary Tai Tagak told media that the party has been projecting various corruption cases and scams under the Congress government which have surpassed the 2G spectrum and the Commonwealth Games scam.
BJP Legislative party leader Tamiyo Taga and deputy BLP leader Tapen Siga were present in the press meet.

An open letter to Chief Minister
Dear Editor,
I on behalf of the people of Baat and on behalf of Papum-
In this regard, several correspondence has been made to Chief Engineer (WZ) PWD,Itanagar through EE, PWD Doimukh Divison but it is astonishing to learn that no positive action is initiated since two years of repeated appeals. The PWD has completely failed to address the grievances placed by the commuters of the road and the people of this area. Such attitude of the PWD reflects ineffectiveness. Moreover, despite our hue and cry for immediate restoration of the said road the State PWD, has not kept any fund provision for restoration work at Landslide zone and for the maintenance of the same road which is also the main Life line of the people of this area.
I do appreciate good gesture of MLA of 14th Doimukh, who rushed to spot along with EE,PWD,Div Doimukh on the 11th Sept,2010 to ascertain about extent of damages caused by the flash flood and thereafter, he assured to bring Fund under SPA / FDR schemes which basically is meant for such purpose only. Till date no any positive outcome is witnessed as assured.
Therefore, I reverently appeal our beloved Chief Minister to intervene and direct the Department concerned to early restoration of the said road keeping in view the importance of the area and the threat to the Ganga Lake and the Baat village.
Yours,

Let the girls stand on their own feet
Dear Editor,
I would like to draw the attention of the Tagin society, particularly Tagins of Siyum to Taksin towards the social evils being practiced against girl child in the society.
It is observed that immature girls, who have not attained the adulthood, are being forced to enter into conjugal life with aged person. Moreover, sometimes, girls are forced to marry mentally retarded persons. Such forceful marriage ruins the future of girl who has no other option but to commit suicide. These are some of the social evils which responsible for backwardness of our girls.
In our society, girls should be treated equally with boys. Let the girls stand on their own feet. Let them live their life.

The never ending woes of Dambuk
Dear Editor,
This is regarding the letters "Reversing trend of development"/"Let there be fair distribution" published in yesterday’s edition.
I am from Dambuk. I won’t go to details as one of writers mentioned many things in yesterday's edition but interestingly, it is known as Kala Pani of Arunachal nowadays. This is the most unfortunate fate we, the people of Dambuk are suffering.
From the month of March to November we are crippled. We are cut off from the world; we can’t even go to Roing which is only 30 km.
People of Dambuk never think of any kind of planning’s and works to be done in these
seasons since we can’t go in or out. The only working season left is Nov-
Only communication left is Mobile phones which seldom gets network towers. If you are getting network in Dambuk means you hit a jackpot of millions.
No Landline telephone service adds to its sorrow.
We have electrical department, which gives two and half hour light with a voltage which does not support even mobile charging, tubes are out of question even bulbs glow as candle light.
Even in winter when we have our lifeline restored the road condition is pathethic, if someone goes for first time, he/she vows never to go the route again.
Our one and only school Govt. Hr Sec School Dambuk is having teaching staff shortage, because of less postings of teachers as per required as well as teachers who are posted are outside Dambuk for almost half the year in working days because of the condition of Dambuk, making it worst.
The worst nightmares is the price of commodities which are tripled the normal MRP rates all over India, eg we buy kerosene @120 per litre at times.
Govt. Co-
We are farmers mainly by occupation but we feed vegetables, pumpkins, papaya, watermelons, sweet potatoes, tomatoes: fruits, pears, oranges, jackfruits, pineapples etc to pigs instead of selling and earning some money because of the road block.
The list is never ending but what we want from our Govt is atleast hear us, for our cause is genuine and it’s been long period of suffering that any of us can endure.
Yours,

A harrowing experience
Dear Editor,
I would like to share my experience regarding great inconvenience caused due to the irregular flight schedule to Lilabari Airport by Air India. Recently, I was travelling with my family from Bengaluru. As for the fact that there is no direct flight from Bengaluru / Chennai for Lilabari Airport, the nearest Airport to Itanagar after discontinuation of Pawan Hans Service, so the best possible route is through a stopover and change of flight at Kolkatta.
I had on the first instance booked the tickets for Lilabari for 19th June, 2011 but
the flight got cancelled and the tickets were re-
It has caused undue hardship on me for all this process of cancellation and re-
Through this letter my sincere request to the concerned authorities to kindly find a permanent solution for this matter, instead of relying on Air India, which is also like Pawan Hans Copter service ,the most unreliable Airline especially to cover the destination to Lilabari Airport.
Yours etc.

Evolve a constructive culture as one people one state
Dear Editor
Many sane people will agree with Tongam Rina's write up regarding the negative impact of RTI act. Those people who really are contributing towards the development of our state are a silent mass, they neither have the time nor the inclination to spend their time on finding faults in the system. We have to accept the fact that many of our brethren who are involved in RTI activities cannot convince the authenticity of their work to the general public and they do find little support in the process. Instead if they take the initiative and focus their time and energy on new avenues of development they would have won many hearts and heal many ills because unlike many of our brethren they are fortunate enough to be educated and have seen the light of the day. In future we should shed this legacy and evolve a constructive culture as one people one state.
Yours,
