India, China trade through roads can reduce cost
BEIJING, Nov 07: India and China should consider stepping up bilateral trade through Nathu La, the mountainous pass in the Himalayas and the road connecting India's northeast with Myanmar to reduce transportation cost so that the entire region can prosper, a Chinese daily said Thursday.
"In recent years, Beijing and New Delhi have been engaged in road projects near border regions, and have also made plans to build railways. Mutual suspicion will increase if the highways and railways cannot be connected between the two countries. But if the two can be connected, the entire region can prosper," Global Times said.
The daily praised the Border Defence Cooperation Agreement (BDCA) between India and China signed during Prime Minister Mannmohan Singh's visit here last month.
It marked an important step toward addressing the long term distrust in bilateral ties, an article tiled 'Good road make friendly neighbours' in the Global Times here said.
"If New Delhi and Beijing can strictly abide by the pact and conduct frequent dialogues between officials at different levels near the Line of Actual Control, there will be fewer chances of conflicts," it said.
The two nations can then begin considering how to make substantial progress that promotes business and trade in border areas and benefits the general public, it said.
Currently, China and India conduct their USD 66 billion bilateral trade mostly by sea.
A large bulk of Tibet's imports from and exports to India has to pass through the port of Tianjin and then be shipped to the harbour in Kolkotta.
"If the two countries can connect their highways via Nathu La, a mountain pass in the Himalayas, trading cost will drop enormously. Nathu La is located 460 kilometers from Lhasa, and there are several highways from this historical place to northern India, eastern Nepal and northern Bangladesh," it said. The countries already trade through Nathu La located in Sikkim but on a limited scale.
The two sides had agreed to consider strengthening border trade through Nathu La Pass during Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's visit to India.
Agreements between New Delhi and Beijing limit trade across Nathula to 29 types of goods from India and 15 from the Chinese side after it was reopened in 2006. .
Another route, which extends about 500 kilometers, could connect Tengchong, Yunnan Province, to Ledo in northeastern India via Myitkyina in Myanmar, the daily said.
"Many businessmen from Myanmar have been transporting Chinese goods to India through
this passage over recent years, and there are a variety of Chinese-
"Interconnections between western China and northeastern India will not only benefit
the two countries, but also be conducive to the establishment of the Bangladesh-
"Plus, it can help shape a critical economic circle to provide more vigour and dynamism to Asia and the whole world," it said.
"In addition, the political role of the new economic zone can not afford.
The article also referred to recent opening of a remote highway by China in Tibet close to Arunachal Pradesh border.
"The road, which took decades to complete, has provided the once isolated plateau with a gateway to the world," it said. PTI

Give some time
Dear Editor,
I am an avid reader of your esteemed daily. I have been reading it regularly since the day of its publication in our state. Your newspaper is a true mirror of our society, which reflects Political, Culture and Socio economic issues of the state.
However, I read an article heading "Unhealthy Road" published on 6th Nov. 2013 by some of college students and I do appreciate their concern and welcome their view. I am living in the Vivek Vihar locality for last two decade and I too have witnessed such unhealthy environment as mentioned in the article and would like to bring to light the following point with respect to the article.
Firstly it can be seen that the whole capital complex is facing the pollution problem and we cannot single out a particular locality. Perhaps everyone is equally worried including me but pointing at the councilors of the municipality at this time is not appropriate as the Itanagar Municipality is newly constituted and no actual power devolution has taken place till today. This situation is causing a lot of hardship for the all the councilors to perform their duties towards its public due to lack of manpower, fund and other amenities required to maintain and develop its ward.
Yours,

The choice is yours
Dear Editor,
This is in response to the letter published in your esteemed daily by Bhanu Riba and Onima Mize few days back regarding their dissatisfaction for not being chosen for the ACF post even after being from a deserving forestry background and having cleared all the selection procedures. Here I don’t want to get into this controversy about who was more deserving or who was not. Instead, I would like to drop few points why nobody should pursue Forestry Degree as their subject:
1. No preferences (forget about reservation) are given to Forestry graduates in Forest Dept., or in any other allied department for that matter
2. Forestry subject is not available in APPSC prelim examination.
3. There is no specialization (major/honor) in Forestry subject
4. Graduates from other depts. can apply in Forest dept. job, but we are not eligible to apply in their depts.
5. Most of the Forestry Graduates and Post Graduates are running from pillar to post to get absorbed in one or the other department.
So, I would like to appeal to all the innocent parents, guardians and young brother and sisters of Arunachal Pradesh to not to fall prey to this Forestry degree being offered by NERIST, Pasighat college or anywhere else in the world, as far as getting a decent job in our state is concerned. After all, what’s the use of graduation if it doesn't help much in getting a decent job? Though many Forestry graduates from NERIST have cracked prestigious Indian Forest Service (IFoS) exams, and my well wishes to them all, but unfortunately not everybody can become an IFoS officer. However, by saying this neither I have anything against the colleges/universities offering Forestry nor am discouraging the students who are presently pursuing Forestry. All I am saying is prevention is better than cure. It’s a tough and competitive world, tougher for the Forestry graduates.
Yours,
Tai Dora

with the prime objectives to provide all round development and facilities to the
people of the circle. But it has been gone in vain. After the creation of such circle
office in a remote area in Kurung Kumey District, the Govt of Arunachal Pradesh had
invested or sanctioned crores of Rupees for construction of circle office buildings,
staffs quarters and also established other line departments, like PHED and RWD Sub-
But most ironically all those office buildings, staff quarters are useless for the
