A mockery of traffic guidelines
Taba Ajum
ITANAGAR, Nov 25: In the last few days’ regular accidents across the capital complex area had shocked public and city administration alike. After lot of hue and cry raised by media and citizens of capital, on Tuesday city administration imposed certain traffic regulations which were published in local dailies.
Of all, two of the important regulations include compulsory wearing of helmet by two wheeler drivers, restriction of the entry of heavy vehicles within capital complex road during morning office hour and evening rush time. A day after issuing of this notice, this reporter visited road across the capital complex during morning office hour and witnessed most of the traffic rules being violated. Innumerable numbers of bikers were seen riding without wearing helmets in Naharlagun. Making mockery of the traffic guidelines issued by city administration, overloaded trucks were seen plying around 10 am on the road of Naharlagun. To make matter worse no one from administration or police department were seen on the road to check traffic violation. Private vehicles could be seen parked in dangerous way at various markets and bazaars of Itanagar and Naharlagun area.
It is to be noted that traffic guidelines issued by the capital complex administration does not include danger paused by using of mobile phone while driving. In most cities across the world talking on mobile while driving is considered to be serious traffic offence, which our administrations seem to have missed out. Some of the recent traffic drives carried out by authority concentrated mostly on two wheelers but our capital complex administration need to know that traffic violators comprise of vehicles from every segments which include private and public vehicles.
While number of vehicles has zoomed past in the road of Itanagar and Naharlagun in recent year, the condition of road has remained same. Roads of capital are no longer able to accommodate the ever increasing number of vehicles leading to many unfortunate accidents and loss of valuable lives.

He was here to attend the inaugural function of the 4 days long Dukchu Chenpo festival also locally known as Torgya at Gaden Ragyalling Monastery.
He further advocated for continuity of the monastic dance festival in the form of Torgya every year for spreading the message of universal peace. Khandu appreciating the noble initiatives taken up by Rev. T G Rinpoche in establishing the majestic Gaden Rabgyalling Monastery on the hill top of Bomdila town which is a perfect tourist destination said the monastery which also facilitates school for young monks and orphans is definite to attract more tourist from abroad and the country.

ITANAGAR, Nov 25: The Students’ Union of the Dera Natung Govt College has strongly urged the director of the higher and technical education that all the students of the college who attain minimum of 25 per cent classes should be declared eligible for the government stipend.
When the college classrooms accommodate maximum of 1000 students, the authorities give admission to more than 3000 students. Under this circumstances, how can all students attend classes throughout the year. How can authority deny stipend to the students on the ground of less attendance when there is no proper sitting arrangement for students to attend the classes regularly, the students’ union questioned the concerned director in the memorandum.
Describing the deprivation of stipend on the ground of less attendance as ‘unnatural punishment,’ the students’ union demanded a serious review of the correlation between class attendance and stipend in greater interest of the students. The despair, agony and mental torture would take the shape of bigger agitation if the students do not get justice, the union added.

Vijaynagar is a remote circle in Changlang District, Arunachal Pradesh. It is a narrow
stripped mountain valley; surrounded on three sides (Northeast, South and West) by
Mayanmar while from Northwestern side, enclave by stretches of Namdapha National
Park. There is no surface road connection to the area and is totally cut-
In the beginning of 1970s this remote circle was connected by motorable road to
Miao. PWD started building the road in 1972, and it was formally inaugurated in 1974.
However, the road was abandoned within a short time as PWD could not maintain it.
Now, it is buried under dense forest with thick undergrowths and washed away by
landslides at several points. Thus, the area is still 157 km away from the road
which, by and large, inhibits basic services to life. The non-

There are seven primary schools, one middle school and one secondary school in the
area. Almost all the primary schools are run by single teacher, although there is
no dearth of qualified locals. Of course, few of them are engaged in teaching by
MLA at the rate of Rs. 2000 per month. The daily routines of most of the single
teachered schools include attendance, one or two periods of classes, games and sports,
etc. Most of the teachers are appointed under Sarba Siksa Abhiyan (SSA), and apparently
display lack of interest. Due to the communication bottleneck the teachers cannot
join on time after the vacation. Consequently, the schools remains closed during
such period of time. The teachers are also very often assigned with official duties
such as election duty, revision of electoral rolls, census operation, economic survey,
etc which further deteriorates the school activities. The non-

Media hype on IndoChina border issue continues unabated. Epicenter of this ongoing tremor is Arunachal Pradesh. Among many reasons that are being claimed, unsettled border between the two Asian giants is,” Reason No. 1”. Enough noise has been generated at many quarters. But it is about time the people of Arunachal Pradesh must ask themselves what they can do for their nation.
Developments such as roads, railways, airfields irrigation canals etc are key to all round progress.
World over such developments close to International borders are generally integrated with defence needs particularly if neighboring country is an adversary. This is to enhance defensive potentials in addition to serving the primary objective of the people and the state. In western sector a, series of canals built by both Pakistan and India also serve as major infantry and tank obstacles. Such integration is absolutely vital for defence of the nation. In the key border state of Arunachal Pradesh due to difficult terrain configurations roads are along the river valleys running North to South. Many bridges and culverts on these roads could prove major bottle necks for sustained military traffic during war as they fall short of military classifications to take certain military hardware loads. Also at many places part of the roads have been turned into habitation clustered with houses. They could hinder military movement at crucial time. At present, movement from East to West or vise versa is via plains of Assam. This could prove a major hindrance when need for Inter valley switching of forces arises at crucial stage of a battle. China on the other hand is believed to have built East West high way around Arunachal Pradesh. On this count it is advantage China as on date till our proposed East West highway is operational. However our Advance Landing Grounds (ALGs) in each valley can over come this short coming to a very large extent. These ALGs can also prove vital for the administration during natural calamities for large scale relief operations. Here in lies the paramount importance of ALGs.
But what is the state of these ALGs in Arunachal today? Are they operational? If not, within what time frame can they be made operational and at what and whose cost? Is there any litigation involved in any of the ALGs? Well! The sorry state of these ALGs needs no overemphasis. The fact of the matter is that some of these vital ALGs have been rendered useless by land mafias. Exercising so called their democratic rights, land mafias appeared to have had a field day possibly not without the right nod from the right quarters at right time! Right? According to media report ALGs are being handed over to MoD. Does MoD have the magic wand to wish away these well entrenched mafias? Let us hope so !!
Second most important issue is development of areas close to borders. Rightly, the Govt of Arunachal Pradesh has established many administrative headquarters in close proximity of our border with China. Takshing,Sarli, Huri, Limiking, Monigao,Tuting, Mipi, Chaglagam, Kibitu etc to name a few. Most of these administrative circles probably have not seen the day light of an administrative officer for better part of a year or years. How will development ever reach them? Our leaders rightly plead for adequate fund for mending three International borders and do manage substantial budget allocation for the state from the national exchequer only to be consumed by never ending pot holes of Itanagar. To my mind connotation of border state means whole of state and not confined to Itanagar or the foot hills. Are not real border areas part of the border state ? Who will raise a voice for these poor border areas? Defence preparedness can only keep pace with development. In martial state of Punjab civilians are there hand in hand with armed forces during war as amply proved in last three wars with Pakistan. They help in moving forward vital military replenishments, guard vulnerable areas and points such as bridges/culverts, ammunition dumps, water points etc besides serving food to soldiers at transit points. It is because border areas in Punjab are developed and entails high stakes. During peace time border management is done by coordinated frequent patrolling and gathering tactical intelligence at local level. Support of the administration in providing porters, guides, construction of porter tracks et all are necessary for timely and successful conduct of these patrols. Collecting intelligence and keeping surveillance on cross border operatives are other prime peace time functions of administration in border areas. It is naïve to believe that these functions can be executed through remote control!! There are some very vital administrative circles in border areas which must be manned at all times. During war administration should help the army in organizing orderly evacuation of civilians from battle zone and support own forces in fatigue related works such as construction of roads, tracks, movement of defence stores etc in areas safe from enemy fire. In the event these areas fall into enemy hands, administration in conjunction with military planners should have plan in hand to organize covert resistance group behind enemy lines to cause disruption and delay enemy’s progress of operation and to pass on information to own troops about enemy’s movement. Can we ever emulate French Legion of Second World War fame? All these are possible only if the administration is there on the ground to gain confidence and organize the local people in these border areas. But are they there? Has anyone from administration ever travelled from Tame Chung Chu to Bidak (very close to Longju of 1959 fame now firmly under Chinese occupation about 14 kms inside Indian territory) in Tsari Chu valley or from Takshing to Ashapila (a platoon post held by Assam Riffles and abandoned in the wake of first ever visit to Beijing by an Indian Prime Minister post 1962) and beyond to the border in Subansiri valley or from Sarli to the border or from Chaglagam to the border to name a few? How will people of these remote border areas be integrated to rest of the country if they are alienated due to lack of elementary development? A food for thought!!
The people of Arunachal Pradesh are understandably in a state of perpetual anxiety
and they are constantly shouting to be heard by the rest of the county men and women.
Events of 1962 are now history. Then North East Frontier Agency (NEFA) and its people
were alien to rest of the country. 1962 Chinese aggression was largely perceived
by the people of Arunachal Pradesh as a blessing in disguise because development,
in particular surface communication took a quantum jump in the aftermath of treacherous
Chinese attack. Today, 46 years down the line people of Arunachal Pradesh are fully
integrated with the country and are as responsible and proud citizens as any other
Indian. Great transformation has taken place in the field of human resource and other
developments. So has life style. In fact life style of many Arunachalis is object
of great admiration by fellow citizens from other parts of the country who contribute
towards national exchequer via various forms of taxes. But should the border areas
await a second blessing in disguise-
Let us remind our selves of what legendary former US president late John F. Kennedy said. Quote, “Ask not what America can do for you. Ask what you can do for America.” Unquote. Let the people of Arunachal Pradesh ask themselves what they can do for their country? If we are not contributing to the nation substantially, let us not destroy such national or state assets as ALGs or roads either. Also just as we plead with centre for border state development let us spare a thought for development of real border areas within the border state called Arunachal Pradesh. Time to learn from Chinese: make less hollow noises and quietly act more.
