Governor appeals for peace and communal harmony
ITANAGAR, Oct 13: Arunachal Pradesh Governor General (Retd) JJ Singh has appealed to the people of the State to maintain peace and communal harmony. The Governor, who has been very disturbed and saddened by the recent unfortunate incidents of violence in the State, especially in the Capital Complex has appealed to every Arunachalee to remain calm and not fall prey to any provocation or rumours.
These are neither in the people’s interest, nor that of our State, he added. He also reminded everyone that all of us have been living peacefully and amicably for ages, where communal harmony has been the basic building block.
Stating the incidents of violence have resulted in the loss of one precious life, injuries to numerous people, damage to government and private properties, Gen Singh said that it has vitiated the peaceful environment and spread fear amongst the law abiding and innocent citizens, especially the women and children.
Joining all the people of Arunachal Pradesh in condemning it, Gen Singh added that in our society, historically, there has been no place for violence. Peaceful demonstration, protests and rallies are an acceptable part of every democratic society but taking the law into ones own hands does not reflect the people in good light or give a correct impression of our peace loving society.
The Governor has expressed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family of late Heri Tai and prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul. He also has stressed on speedy investigation on the circumstances leading to the incident and action taken as per the law of the land.
We have always taken pride in being the most peaceful State in the North East. Let us continue to maintain this excellent tradition and work as ‘Team Arunachal’, Governor further emphasised.
Heri Association appeals for peace
ITANAGAR, Oct 13: All Heri Welfare Association (AHWA) president Heri Taro has made a fervent appeal to one and all to maintain peace, tranquility & harmony.

Late Tai had succumbed to his injuries sustained in IG Park at a Guwahati hospital yesterday. His body is being brought back on Friday for the final rites in Itanagar.
Local MLA appeals for urgent steps for peace and security
ITANAGAR, Oct 13: Local MLA Techi Kaso today called on Home Minister Takar Marde besides met Chief Secretary Tabom Bam, DGP Kanwaljit Deol and other local senior public leaders including former ministers and MLAs to hold threadbare discussions on the prevailing disturbed situation in the capital and pleaded with them for urgent steps to maintain peace.
The MLA appealed to all sector level committee leaders and leaders of various religious groups of the capital to come forward for spreading the message of goodwill and bring normalcy at the earliest.
However, Kaso urged the HM to immediately post adequate police personnel at Itanagar and Naharlagun police stations, which were having 26 and 17 cops, against the requirements of 64 each. There should be two inspectors and 11 SIs in each PS, but presently both PSs were having one inspector and 8 and 6 SIs respectively.
Admitting that the strength of both PSs were insufficient considering the rising law and order in the Capital Complex, the HM directed the DGP to urgently post police personnel to both the PSs as required and sanctioned in 2010.
Kaso said the DGP also assured him to act as per direction to post additional cops to the PSs.
Kaso hoped that with additional police personnel, the PSs would be able to tackle law and order situation effectively.
MLAs appeal people not to believe unfounded rumours

While condemning violence in any form, they called upon all sections of people to refrain from any action that would add fuel to the fire. Expressing deep shock at the death of a youth at IG Park in unprovoked police firing on Tuesday last, they conveyed their deepest sense of condolences to the bereaved family and urged the state government to institute an impartial inquiry to bring the guilty to book within a given time frame.
However, they took serious exception to the fact that the state government has been very insensitive to various issues during the last few months, otherwise all unwanted incidents could have been averted with tactful governance.
At this critical hour, we all should stand united to face the situation and act in
a manner to uphold human values and the age-
“Any insensible act at this hour of crisis would go against Arunachal Pradesh and tarnish its image which would be difficult to repair, they added.
In a fervent appeal to all community-
PPA condemns violence, blames central leadership for Arunachal crisis
ITANAGAR, Oct 13: The Peoples Party of Arunachal Pradesh strongly has condemned the violent incidence in the capital region. The common Publics should not be made as scapegoat for the Political gain of an Individual, it said. A solution can be always be found if there is an honest effort, the party said while stating that the PPA is ready to act as peacemaker as the both faction are closed to the party.
While the BJP demand for President rule is also right, but PPA feels that this is no time for politics; one time last effort should be made to find an amicable solution in the interest of the State, it added.
PPA further appealed all the Nyishi factions to remain calm in the name of god and our age old cultural tradition and relationships. And we should refrain from becoming the tools of the vested political interested People, it said.
The Party further said that AICC and Congress central observers have to take moral responsibility for not being responsive to the silent magma boiling inside the Rajiv Bhavan Itanagar.
The Congress CM and Party President have become the slave to the 24th Akbar road to the peril of the State, it added. The national party has exposed its inability and inherent limitation in governing this sensitive state.
The rank and file of the Congress Party cannot absolve themselves from this betrayal
to the Public. If this violence does not stops -

There is a grievous paucity of lots of developmental works and other activities of public interest, besides the law & order complication in our state, owing to counterproductive tug of war for power among the ministers of the ruling party.

Sincere request for my fellow brothers and sisters of Arunachal while we are passing through one of the toughest and darkest period in the history of the state, please, shun off the path of violence and start thinking and planning about a bright future of oneself and the state as a whole.

Where are we headed?
Dear Editor,
Where are we heading? Why our own innocent brothers are made to shed blood for personnel interest of few tainted power hungry people? If same situation prevails in coming days then how will be our Arunachal in future?
When I ask myself these questions, I can’t resist the pain arising from within me.
I am frustrated I am helpless because I can’t do anything about the current situation of state nor the egoist and power hungry people are going to listen to the voice of common man like me.
But I can obviously request the faction of people who are responsible for all this mess that I want to live normally and lead a dignified life with the fellow people around me irrespective of tribe, creed and religion.
So, please don’t try to create communal disharmony among the people and at the same time I request general public not to follow your leader blindly before analyzing the fact for yourself because sometimes your leader tends to misguide you. When you feel that you are being misguided just ask your instinct whether you are right and then decide.
Forgiveness is the medicine that can heal the deepest wound. I being common man would like to urge Nyishi brother’s to forget and forgive the wrong doers who made ill comment about the community and move ahead towards constructive future because enough damage has been made out of this issue.
Our Ministers and parliamentary Secy. at the position I think all of you should resign on moral ground because of the current condition of state. You all should have acted responsibly and collectively and sort out the problem of society rather than fighting among yourselves like wild dogs for power. Let me remind you all that you are chosen by public to serve them not to dictate them. Our state is lagging in almost every field be infrastructure development, health care and education. So dear minister’s come down to earth and try to act like human beings and make our state better place to live in. So that one day we public can proudly say these are the ministers chosen by us.
Yours,

NPF is a political party and will divide our state
Dear Editor,
I would like to express my intense dissatisfaction and anguish at T.Mossang and company who accused state home minister Takar Marde of being incomplete and not supporting NPF.
Does he know who Takar Marde is? He is the man who travelled every nook and corner of Tirap and Changlang just for the people of these two troubled districts despite death threat from the militants.
I feel that Mossang is a spy of NSCN who is hungry for political power. NPF is a political party and it will only divide our state.
He even challenged APPSU and other tribe leaders. Agreed, the state is going through a bad phase but we won’t let any opportunist to play their dirty game.
He even accepted that he is a Naga and no doubt he will leave no stone unturned to destabilize the peace of state.
APPSU is the voice of youth of the state and many a times the apex student body has opposed the movement of NPF. But, it seems that Mossang doesn’t know the language of words.
Eventually, I request Tirap, Changlang and Longding brethrens not to succumb under the word Naga. We are Arunachalis.

Wear your uniform right
Dear Editor,
Since there are many organizations and police forces in our country and the all have their own one common uniform but our states police force is little different. You cannot distinguish who is state armed personnel, civil police or the newsmaker IRBn personnel, someone is wearing khaki with camouflage mixed, someone wearing black cap, khaki cap, blue cap, 'P'cap and others black scarf etc. I think they wear what they wish. Is there no any controlling officer to instruct them how to wear a uniform or they are not trained?
Being a discipline force they should at least know how to wear a proper uniform. If state police organisation or home ministry cannot provide a different uniform to state armed force's like AAPBn, IRBn then at least give them one particular colour of Cap and whistle cord so they could have one proper unit ID. There are many other organisations deployed in our state, at least learn something from them how to wear a proper uniform.

Let there be thorough enquiry
Dear Editor,
It was very disheartening to see the attitude of District Administration towards the local people at Roing. I felt sad and frustrated over the issue. Though I m from Lohit, I have an emotional attachments towards Roing. How come the District Administration give the orders for firing at innocent local people who were enjoying the event of Durga Puja in their own ways. This is totally unacceptable. Are we being treated as terrorist in our own land? Recently both the DC and SP talked about extremist groups have entered Lower Dibang Valley. Now are they treating the local people as extremist, this is totally misuse of power at highest level. Lathicharge is acceptable but gun power is like forcing AFSPA into place. Both the Heads of Department must understand the mentality and culture of local people before taking such harsh action. There should be a thorough independent enquiry into this eventful incident and the culprits should be punished according to law no matter what position he hells.

Anna and politics
Dear Editor,
Anna Hazare entering politics sounds very discouraging for us. As such, it is presumed that if Anna play role in politics, there would be no "Real Anna" for us to fight against corruption in the country. It is obvious that if Anna join politics, he will no more get mass support, his stand would be disregarded, he will engage himself in corruption activities and thereby corruption will rise so high in this country and it would be too late to eradicate after Anna's failure. So, let's appeal our Anna not to join politics, and let's appeal our Anna to continue fighting against corruption.

What happened to 20 marks?
Dear Editor,
This is regarding District Statistical Officer examination 2011 conducted by Arunachal Pradesh public service commission on 8th October and 9th October 2011.
I would like to draw attention on 9th October examination i.e. optional subject of mathematics .The instruction was given to attempt Qno.1 as compulsory and any other seven (7) question from the paper, each carrying 10 marks.
If we attempt only these questions then it is of only 80 marks, so what about remaining 20 marks?
Therefore, I request to the APPSC to check the question paper of mathematics optional subject of DSO examination and give the remaining 20 marks if instruction and question was wrong.
Yours,

New data, published in the World Health Organization (WHO) 2011 Global Tuberculosis Control Report, shows that the number of people who fell ill with TB dropped to 8.8 million in 2010, after peaking at 9 million in 2005. The report also finds that TB deaths fell to 1.4 million in 2010, after reaching 1.8 million in 2003.

The report shows that the TB death rate dropped 40 per cent between 1990 and 2010, and all regions, except Africa, are on track to achieve a 50 per cent decline in mortality by 2015.
