NCP demands high level enquiry, blames govt for delay in search operation
ITANAGAR, May 27: Nationalist Congress Party has demanded a high level enquiry in the April 30 chopper crash which claimed the life of Late Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu and four others.
The pathetic failure of the state government to trace out the body of the late CM and other crash victims accompanying him in the fateful copter would remain in the history of Arunachal Pradesh as the most callous attitude of a government, it said.
Instead of early efforts, the State Govt. waited for the satellite image, other aerial survey result knowing fully well that the haze and mist were making it impossible for the air surveys to find anything. The entire state was made to suffer from tension and uncertainty for virtually a week for the lack of common sense or may be the lack of proper attitude on the part of the administration to deal with such cases, it said.
One wishes the State government learnt a lesson from its miserable failure due to more miserable lack of uprightness in dealing with unforeseen events like the one we have experienced in the sad demise of a popular leader of Arunachal Pradesh, said its president Ngurang Pinch.
Can’t we reverse the careless attitude of the civil aviation in Arunachal Pradesh
which, most unfortunately has earned the infamy of hosting alarming number of copter
crash and related casualty since 1997 till now, he further asked. Meanwhile taking

East Siang finally takes note of encroachment in Pasighat
Students demand strict action
ITANAGAR, May 27: The East Siang district administration has finally taken note of the encroachment in Pasighat Township. The oldest town in the state had witnessed several cases of enrichment of government land by private individuals.
The All Bogong Students’ Union (ABSU)-
The three day daunting exercise of physically verifying all the illegal occupants came to an end today after visiting all sector areas within the BogongBango Donated land jurisdiction which comprises of 64,432 acres free to the government for establishment of District headquarter. Central executive members of ABSU also volunteered in the whole exercise and were taken aback by the impunity at which mostly Government officials are involved directly or indirectly in the act of land grabbing. The oldest administrative centre of the state is facing rampant encroachment problem and intruders have not spared even premises of government establishment.
Major revelation has come to light where allotted department land is usurped by the officials of the same department by obtaining government allotment order on the same piece of land. One such case which has come to the light is the allotment of veterinary dispensary land popularly calls as “key village centre” in Upper Banskota area of Pasighat to an employee of the same department.
The union questioned how an already existing government infrastructure of public utility can be allotted to an individual?
The union called upon the District administration to immediately set up an enquiry committee to come clean on the whole matter & immediately cancel the dubious allotment.
The union further called upon all the religious groups not to allow their religious institute such as church, Temple etc as medium of land grabbing by certain vested interested people and urge upon all the elected representative of the district to give free hand to the District administration.
All Bogong Students’ union (ABSU), have also organised a massive sit in Dharna infront
of DC office Pasighat East Siang District on May 24 in support of its one point demand
which was submitted to Deputy Commissioner in form of a memorandum for immediate
eviction of illegal encroacher in government premises, when the District Land Allotment
Advisory Board meeting (DLAAB) attended by elected representative of the, representative
from Bogong Bango Kebang, and Pangin-

prestigious medical colleges in India, the Christian Medical College (CMC) at Vellore.

surgery and masters of public health from the United States. It was during their

PDS synonymous with corruption
in Anjaw: BJP
ITANAGAR, May 27: Corruption has posed a serious threat to the society and jeopardized the whole development process, particularly in implementation of centrally sponsored schemes and Public Distribution System (PDS) in Anjaw district, said district BJP unit today.
In a memorandum addressed to Governor, Anjaw BJP district unit president Banim Kri

Ministerial berths and other events
Dear Editor,
The passing away of our late CM has been a tragedy that the state won't forget anytime soon in the near future but the aftermath and the repercussions of the tragedy is still unfolding and the reverberations can be felt in every corner of our dear state. Now every other society based organisation is coming up with a shout against the demolition of their own leaders in the newly inducted cabinet of our state and the latest to join the bandwagon is the associations from East Siang. Does it mean that we, the Tagins of Upper Subansiri or for that matter any other society should also jump in to protest against the so called ill treatment to their politicians? In our case, our beloved senior minister has been demoted from Minister of human beings to Minister for Animals.
But while saying this, it is really regrettable that a person from a national newspaper
has made a scathing comment on the very fibre of our state-
But this apart, is the attack on the media houses of the state justified? Why do the media in our state always bear the brunt of any public outburst? Would the media be able to do their duty in such vulnerable conditions? I had once thought of doing Mass Comm. and journalism but today I feel that it would have been a wrong decision.
There are hundreds more, who are interested in pursuing such careers but such incidents do really dampen their spirits.
Let's give a long and deliberate thought to this subject as it concerns not only a very important pillar of the democracy, rather it affects the whole structure and beliefs of the civil society.
Let's not punish our own brothers for the blunder and sin of an outsider, who does not know the real Arunachal. We support the cause of the ANSU, but let's not fight against each other.

What did he mean?
Dear Editor,
After going through the desperate and unconvincing 'his side of story' it is baffling why the alleged molester considered it necessary to voluntarily furnish extraneous clarifications detaching himself from being the maternal uncle and the age detail of the victim? By doing so is he trying to justify his misdeeds and bizzarely advocating that there is no wrong in assaulting a woman with carnal desire if her age is past 18 years and relation, five generations apart? Confusingly one getting 'enlarged' (inflated?) when on bail is first heard of, as he asserted, "the High Court, Gauhati, has enlarged me on bail". A useful recipe though, for them who fancy a little weight gain. As far as the harassments, humiliations and suspension from service is concern a perpetrator of a gruesome act deserves no less.

Justification of rape is insane
Dear Editor,
Apropos to “My Side Story “, absconding for more than a month simply tell us many thing about his innocence. Although it may be bit late but we all have full faith in India Judiciary system. But being not related to someone does not give license to rape.
Instead of feeling guilty giving justification for raping is unacceptable and insane.

Let there be trial
Dear Editor,
We all dislike repeated bandh calls but what else you do when your government are deaf and dumb to your burning issue and justiciary are sold into the hand of power and money. All are condemning the journalist in question but no one talks of arresting him and finding the truth, in contrast some self styled statesman are saying 'let democracy be the game of who can shout the loudest'.
At the time when Nyishis are humiliated through TOI, our brothers should have been with us but instead we are being subjected to condemnation. Of course you have privilege to make discouraging comment on us, but who knows tomorrow you may need our companion to shout. General Nyishis do also feels that those who vandalize media houses should also be brought to justice.
Already lot of nasty comments on us is being made on social networking site and news portal. Let there be a trial but punishment be given at the end of trial instead of repeated trial or else bury this issue of Pradeep Takur for good.

Messing up the issue
Dear Editor,
This is in connection to the controversy between ANSU & Press fraternity prevailing in the state.
The state as a whole condemn the remarks made by P Takhur and urge him to tender apology to the whole state of Arunachal Pradesh.
On the other hand, I would also like to urge the students' organisation that, the way they are messing up the issue in the state has created many confusions among the citizens of the state.
Why attack the local Medias when an editor of a national daily was purely responsible for this. Go and vandalize the TOI office at Delhi instead of calling Capital bandh here & demanding shifting of Media office from capital.
Capital bandh won't yield any fruitful result for them or for the state, instead put a blanket ban on circulation of TOI paper in the Nyishi belt area and in future try to pursue the state Govt. to shift the state capital out of Nyishi Belt.

What was the purpose?
Dear Editor,
I would like to appreciate the voice raised by ANSU in protest against Pradeep Thakur’s write up. Yes we’ve been hurt by his unethical words.
He has realized his folly and has said sorry.
So I would like to raise a question to ANSU whether they know what they are doing? Against whom are they agitating? Business Community, Public, Government authority, local news paper editor Or Paredip Thakur?
What is the purpose of bandh call? Lodge an FIR against Thakur who has hurt us.
