Idu Mishmi Society calls for dialogue and concerted efforts to defuse Roing tension
ITANAGAR, Mar 21: Following the Roing fiasco, the Idu Mishmi Cultural and Literary Society (IMCLS) called on the people of both the communities to come together to sort out the differences through sincere dialogue and concerted efforts, instead of resorting to violent means, while at the same time subordinating sectional interest to the overall interest of the entire community of Lower Dibang Valley district.

“The Dibang Adi Students Union and Adi Bane Kebang both issued statement claiming that the Adi Culture and tradition and sentiments were hurt by the incident of guns seized in the poaching case. Where does the hunting and poaching of animal in other community forest area is legal and culturally approved by any society? The society cannot shelter such offenders and take it as community issue. The matter once brought to the notice of the administration and law; the matter that has to solved judicially and by the law”, it added. It further said that instead of the body blow given by the district administration, full cooperation was extended by the Idu Mishmi community as whole to solve the issue amicably and peacefully.

Due to which 144 CrPC had to be imposed by the district administration and led to unfolding of consequent incidents.

“If labourers during the construction of the DC office renovation could stay at the Circuit House for more than a month, why was I dragged out?’, Poyom questioned. Alleging that the DC has been taking commissions from every government department and has been involved in many corrupt activities, he demanded that an SIT enquiry be put up against him.

The DC has also negated the independent charge of the ADC Mechuka and has himself become the chairman of the compensation for the Reliance Hydro Power Project at Tato.

An Open letter to the State Information Commission
Dear Editor,
There have been allegations from the public authorities: including elected leaders and officials and media houses that the RTI Act is abused and misused law in Arunachal, “People use RTI either to settle personal scores or to blackmail officers and politicians”.
I being one of pioneer activists of RTI in the State appreciate Taba Ajum for coming up openly and telling the people about general trends of RTI users in the State. However, I have different stories to tell.
I was in illusion when I was thinking that I shall be appreciated for seeking information on public issues only, I never sought information which of individual nature. Instead of acknowledging my contribution, incidentally, I happen to have argued with one of prominent Ministers of the State in presence of high ranking people. Logics of the Minister were that RTI Act has been rampantly misused and our officials are being engaged in replying RTI applications so they do not have time for developmental works.
Firstly, I questioned how RTI Act can be abused and misused if functioning of officials and elected leaders are open, transparent and comprehensible. We the people and media need to ponder why officers and elected leaders are afraid of RTI. Why they make dealing with information seekers. Any clean officials and politicians will never go for dealing with information seekers. I was surprised that instead of setting functioning of officials properly why the Minister was worried about abuse and misuse of RTI.
Secondly, if officials are inefficient and incapable to hand the laws of the country, the minister should impart management skill to his officials for time and cost effective management instead of blaming information seekers for interrupting developmental works of officials. Therefore, I suggest the Minister: for efficient management of time, the Government should ensure that all departments should have RTI portal in their website and upload everything with update and information seekers should be advise to get documents directly from the website.
I also used to receive telephone calls from top technocrats in the State who just wish to know if there is any family enmity when I sought information from his department. However, he was wrong because his department was no exception, I also filed cases against the Department of Education, Health and Family Welfare, Rural Development, etc.
After getting information about corruption through RTI Act, I filed three cases: 1). National Food for Work Programme under, DRDA, Upper Subansiri district during 2007, 2). Improvement and Upgradation of Menga Giba Road, under NLCPR, PWD, Division Daporijo during 2008, and 3). IMPRC, under Panchayat Raj Department during 2011.
In all cases I have provided clear evidences of misappropriations of public money but till now no tangible action has been taken against any officials. In all cases I also made it public through the Medias but to my surprise no individual and organisation have expressed any solidarity with me.
Under such kind of inhospitable ambience I have to heavily rely on the wisdom of the State Information Commission. At initial stage I could see the enthusiasm and boldness of the State Information Commissioners under leadership of Nyodok Yangam, former Chief Information Commissioner, however, at later stage I find different approaches from same State Information Commissioners particularly in dealing with the cases related to the Departments of Panchayat Raj and Geology and Mining.
Firstly, only Rs. 20,000/-
In the case related to the Department of Geology and Mining, many deemed PIOs/ AMDO have been not been attending hearings or given misleading and false information, but there is no clear directive from the Commissioner.
Now, I hope the State Information Commissioner under the leadership of prolific writer and winner of many literary awards Y. D Thongchi may restore past glory of the Commissioner and may win more RTI awards. We have a large amount of expectation from a person of his stature.
I also request the Commissioners that to minimise the abuse and misuse of RTI Act, the State Information Commissioner may annually publish the list of total appeal received and numbers of cases withdrawn in the media. And, finally attendance of appellant in the hearing may be not made compulsory.
Yours,
Ashan Riddi,

Who is the leader?
Dear Editor,
Two groups are stalking claim as true leaders of the INTUC state unit.
As per the norms, there should be one president for one organisation? Two parties in one organization is creating more confusion. For the sake of the welfare of the labours, state govt. should intervene and verify who is the real one.

Let peace prevail
Dear Editor,
Roing incident is very unfortunate and a matter of great concern. Keeping in mind that such situation don’t occur in near future, the District Administration, Students leaders, Senior citizens should take certain steps to establish permanent peace in and around the District and not to exist communal feelings in the mind of the local inhabitants.
As we all know that in our District there is dominion of two tribes Viz. Adis and Idus and both want to show superiority in the District which result in communal tension/communal fighting though the reason may be a minor one. A peace committee should be formed with the willingness of the local students body of the District and other senior members of the society under the guidance of the District Magistrate and the members should be from the both communities so that in near future even if there is a misunderstanding, leading to violence then first of all it should be brought into the notice of peace committee which will further make necessary decisions as required. Another one is the Bazaar Committee. The Bazaar committee members should also be shared by both the fractions of the society for smooth functioning and existence of friendly atmosphere in and around the Bazaar area.
Like me there are so many people who do not want to indulge in such communal riots. So, I would like to request my fellow brothers of both fractions to come forward and join hands together for the formation of Peace Committee so that a friendly relation exists among us, otherwise such incidents will occur again and again.
Lastly, I would like to request the press to maintain transparency and neutrality. Whenever a report is given it should be from the grass root level and the information should be complete. While going through this daily, I found most of the relevant facts haven’t been mentioned.
Yours,

Actual happenings at Tomi Polytechnic College
Dear Editor,
I am deeply shocked to see the malicious content of the news items published in your daily under the headlines “Hailstorm lashes Polytechnic College” on March 15 last. Actual happenings at Tomi Polytechnic College on March 11 were not reported in the article.
As soon as the hailstrom was over, the principal rushed to the hostel to see the damage and safety of the boarders. He was with the boarders and consoled them. But another group went on a rampage, ransacked the principal’s residence, damaged the college building, properties and gave life threat to the staff. As a result, the staff fled away from their quarters and took shelter in safer places outside the college campus. By seeing the grave and dangerous situation, boarders were asked to leave the hostel and the date for leaving the hostel was extended up to March 15 and hostel mess was also opened upto March 15.
Further, when the West Siang DC along with DSP visited the college to see the extent of damage caused by the hailstorm, principal in presence of administrative head assured the students of providing study materials to the affected boarders. Management has been taking all efforts to address the genuine hardship faced by the boarders.
Yours’

Thousand voices with different tones
Dear Editor,
Arunachal Pradesh, a state with area of eighty thousands sq.km and a population of few lakhs, surprisingly have thousands of pressure groups.
I dont understand why there are groups with different nomenclature but with similar objectives and too still forming new ones with prefix 'ex' before existing ones.
I am writing this because in recent days I have come across headlines carrying clarification
between AAPSU and ex-
If they really want to serve the society, I think they can give their ideas and experiences to their successor instead of forming new ones. What if tomorrow every students union comes out with ex forums? If the forum is only meant for the ex leaders the words 'student' need to be erased from nomenclature.
Thousand voices with same tone is more clear and good sounding than thousand voices with different tones.
Yours,
Hania,
