‘Chauhan stages his missing drama, not abducted’
Taba Ajum
ITANAGAR, Oct 22: The high drama enacted by IPS officer Mayank Chauhan today came to an end with state police clarifying that he was never abducted and entire episode was stage managed.
Addressing a crowded press conference at police headquarter, IGP Arvind Deep informed the media persons that Chauhan concocted the whole drama of him going missing along with the help of his two other accomplishes, namely inspector Mohan Kaye and constable Virendra Kumar.
However when media persons questioned him about what made Chauhan to stage such drama, IGP Deep refused to divulge more details and said police will soon grill him in this regard. The special investigation team lead by SP Ajit Singhla cracked the case after close coordination with Assam and Delhi police.
Giving details information IGP Deep said, “On 16th October 2012, an information was received at Bhalukpong Police Station from Inspector Mohan Kaye stating that Superintendent of Police MS Chauhan, who was on his way to Tawang had gone missing from Tippi area in West Kameng District. A case was registered at Bhalukpong Police Station vide FIR No. 17/2012 dated 17th October 2012 U/S 365 IPC and a massive operation was launched to trace the whereabouts of Chauhan. The case was transferred to the SIT at Police Headquarters and round the clock monitoring was launched.”
“After sustained questioning regarding the suspicious circumstances of the disappearance of Chauhan, on 17th October Constable Virendra Kumar revealed that Chauhan was not abducted but was dropped at Tezpur town under instruction of the SP himself. Thereafter Inspector Kaye also admitted the same. In the meanwhile Chauhan was traced in Delhi on 21st October by Delhi police,” said IGP Deep. He further added, “Inspector Kaye and Constable Virendra Kumar also revealed that they were instructed by Chauhan on 16th October itself to fabricate the story that he has gone missing from the Tippi area. After dropping him at Tezpur town, both Kaye and Kumar proceeded to Tippi area as instructed by Chauhan and accordingly coined the “alleged story of missing.” When police grilled them as to why they lied, the duo stated that because of the fact they had worked with Chauhan for years together at Special Investigation Cell (SIC), they could not say no to his instruction.
The Investigation team lead by Deputy Superintendent of police J S Yadav and Inspector Nath had proceeded to Delhi to examine Chauhan in this case. Meanwhile both Inspector Kaye and Constable Virendra Kumar have been suspended and placed under arrest U/S 365/109/182/193/203/120fBJ/34 IPC for fabricating false evidence, staging alleged abduction drama and lodging a false FIR, informed IGP Deep. SP Chauhan has also been charged along with two of them. The state police concluded that as per the preliminary report, it shows that Chauhan was never abducted. He got down at Tezpur and had proceeded to Delhi by road on his own.
It is believed that by travelling through road from Tezpur to New Delhi, Chauhan managed to evade law enforcing agencies.
Surprising everyone, during this entire episode, he never tried to get in touch with
any of his close acquaintance including his own family members. It may be mentioned
here that Chauhan, SP (SIC), Vigilance was relieved by the administration on 10th
October on his transfer to Delhi. Breaking all rules on 16th October, he was travelling
on a government vehicle (Regn. No. AR-
As per the report, he was on a private visit and it is surprising how an officer
who is already transferred can use government vehicle and also in what capacity the
two APP police officials -
IGP Deep also admitted the fact that state police knew about Chauhan travelling by road from Guwahai to Delhi on many occasion in the past too. The IPS officers usually avail flight or train facilities to travel and it is questionable as to why he used such mode of travelling.
This whole drama has brought bad name to the state of Arunachal Pradesh at national forum and it is time state government take tough action against such erring officers.

First Catholic shelter for physically challenged children at Itanagar
ITANAGAR, Oct 22: The foundation for the first Catholic shelter for physically challenged in Itanagar was laid by Member of Parliament Takam Sanjoy and local MLA Techi Kasso on October 20.
The Asha Nivas shelter will come up at Hill Top, of Itanagar, capital of Arunachal Pradesh and will be owned and managed by Sisters of Destitute (SD), province Delhi.
The shelter will provide quality care with education facility by SD sisters. Rev. Fr. Joseph Vadayaparampil said, it will be biggest challenge for the Sisters to run Asha Nivas shelter for physically challenged. Sanjoy thanked the sisters of SD for taking up such noble act for the service of people of Arunachal Pradesh and neighboring state. Assuring his help for growth of the shelter home in future, Sanjoy encouraged that the Govt. of Arunachal will certainly give aid to private sectors for such noble cause. He assured to help for the institution in future to come.
Kasso said that “we usually don not pay much attention to those who are physically handicapped. And, it is good news for the people of Arunachal Pradesh to have such an institution at Itanagar.
The centre will begin services after the completion of the entire project. President and Secretary of Arunachal Pradesh Catholic Union were also present on the foundation stone laying program.

Mentioning China’s repeated and aggressive claim over Arunachal Pradesh and issuance of stapled Visa for its citizens by China for travelling that country, Chandrasekhar Rao said that the boundary between the two South Asian giants should be resolved at the earliest so that the situation of 1962 does not recur. If India and China go for another war, it will be only because of border disputes, he cautioned. The government of India should effectively pursue the matter with its Chinese counterpart and seal the porous border of entire NE States, he said adding that “there should not be any compromise on the security and territorial integrity of the country”. Both the former MPs Kiren Rijiju and Tapir Gao, who also is BJP National General Secretary and MLA, Tapen Siga in their addressed blamed the then Nehru Government for overlooking the threat from China. They said that the present Congress Government at Centre has not learnt any lessons from the earlier bitter experiences.
Advocating for initiating fruitful dialogues for resolving the border disputes, they said that the Chinese had settled its boundary with Myanmar on the basis of McMohoan Line demarcation.
“Both the two Asian giants need each other in this fast changing world. The Centre should effectively pursue territorial issue of Arunachal Pradesh at its best possible way and in the right earnest.”

It happens in the ‘Land of khusi khusi’
Ngurang Meena
As rightly avowed by our late former MP Bakin Pertin not very long ago “Arunachal Pradesh as the land of khusi khusi” in one of his parliamentary speech is towering at its peak and we, the so called conscious netizens are tuning it into higher frequency by being a mute spectator all the time.

Very recently the border issue at Lungpin border in Shillong gave birth to another hero Pynskhem Nongshlong who is being supported by the local youths to “fast unto death” for their rights. But when it comes to our very land Arunachal Pradesh, the table turns around, the whirlwind witnessed here is somewhat obnoxious, people just don’t care about the state, every one is khusi marzi, busy filling their pockets at all means by both the literate and illiterate class; I won’t say educated, because the ratio here is sadly quite negligible.
What happens when someone tries to raise voice against the wrong in our society?

When it comes to development, instead of harnessing the potential resources, the contractors, concerned depts and ministers are exploiting it illegally for personal benefit. May be it is the Kharsang coal mines in Changlang district which was recently raided with tons of coals discovered by the Assam police in the border of Margeritha division, Tinsukia or be the pathetic road condition which is nonetheless the moon craters on earth. For a sound economy, the foremost priority of the state is to have a good surface roads for all the economic activities like transportation, communication, marketing etc which is otherwise a bottleneck in the progress of a state. The youths who are well aware of the prevailing catastrophe in our state are hibernating with frustrations because half the population is unemployed, with no job opportunities owing to lack of private enterprises. So, everyone at the mercy of Govt jobs.
Secondly, the teachers job which seems to be very fascinating these days with the effectiveness of the 6th pay commission. Some of the Govt teachers who are secured for the rest of their lives fail to render dedicated service and the other half who opt for private teaching with no option left, earns a minimal salary of about 3500 in private institution, which is the pocket money of school kids these days. Its really hard to survive on this salary in today’s modern world and the result is, in both the sides the incentives to teach diminishes, which can be fixed only by flooding job opportunities in the state.
With all these haphazard in the state, still there are few groups of people who still believes in a utopian state and the day will soon come when this “land of rising crime” will succumb to death and the Arunachal will once again be a proud “land of rising sun”.
Guv congratulates mountaineering expedition team
ITANAGAR, Oct 22: Arunachal Pradesh Governor General (Retd) JJ Singh has congratulated
the mountaineering expedition team which made to the summit of Mount Gorichen on
October 9 and was flagged-
The Governor also congratulated the Department of Sports and Youth Affairs, Government of Arunachal Pradesh, Indian Mountaineering Foundation, New Delhi and Arunachal Mountaineering & Adventure Sports Association for the accomplishment.
The Governor expressed his hope that the success of the expedition will open the floodgates of mountaineering and adventure activities in the state, which has the longest Himalayan range amongst all Himalayan States of the country. The expedition was flagged off by the Governor at Raj Bhavan, Itanagar on September 23.
Mount Gorichen, which is 6488 meters from sea level, is regarded as one of the technically difficult peaks of the world to climb owing to its terrain, rock face, avalanche and crevasse zones and ice wall. In Arunachal Pradesh and eastern Himalayas, it is second only to Mount Kangto, which has a height of 7050 meters.(PRO to Raj Bhawan)

Durga Puja special
Dr. Jayadeba Sahoo,
In today’s life, full of chaos, tension and turmoil, festivals bring a new joy, zeal,
enthusiasm, mutual love and cordiality in our lives. However, in the absence of true
knowledge, we can’t understand the real message behind the festivals and just keep
celebrating them by observing rituals. It is only through the real knowledge revealed
by Incorporeal God Shiva through the corporeal medium of Prajapita Brahma in the
present auspicious Confluence Age that the darkness of ignorance disappears and we
are able to live our lives in a virtuous and value-
The festival of Dusshera, also known as Vijay Dashmi, is enthusiastically celebrated
every year on the 10th day of Asvina month of the Hindu calendar, all over India.
It symbolizes the victory of good over evil and truth over falsehood. Dussehra marks
the beginning of the festive season, extending up to twenty days till Diwali, which
is another largely celebrated festival. Dussehra is celebrated by burning the effigies
of the ten-
As per great Hindu scripture Ramayana, it is said that Ravana, who, despite being
a very ardent devotee of God Shiva, had abducted Rama’s wife Sita, mainly because
of his ego and vice of sex-
Otherwise, it is impossible for any human being to have ten heads. The mystery behind
the same aspect is very clearly explained by Him that in the present Kaliyuga, all
human beings are inflicted by Ravana, i.e., five vices (Sex-
However, if we cross this ‘Line of Control’, which is referred to as ‘Lakshman Rekha’ in Ramayana, we souls, who are Ram’s true Sitas, are put in the cage of Ravana or vices, which is referred to as Shoka Vatika. Thus, the mention of Sita being detained by Ravana is also the symbolic reference of the fact that in this old vicious world all souls are influenced by Ravana. Seeing us in such a distressed and impure state, God Shiva reincarnates, bestows on us His most elevated Godly knowledge and, thus, liberates us from Shoka Vatika of Ravana and takes us to the Ashoka Vatika, i.e. Golden Age for 21 births.
The ever-
Quarrels, fights and confrontations have literally become the accepted norms of the day even for petty matters. Not even a single person is happy and peaceful. The cremation of the 5 vices, as mentioned earlier, will be the real celebration of Dusshera. This can only be possible if we attain Godly knowledge, i. e, know the self and God, and practise Rajyoga meditation. Through meditation one can establish the strong link with Incorporeal God Shiva whom we lovingly call Shiv Baba. He is a point of light.
God also says that charity begins at home. If I want to change the world, I need to change myself first. In view of the signals from the pathetic conditions of the world including nature, people etc., it can be inferred that destruction is round the corner. So, very less time has been left before we make our final journey to our Sweet Silence Home, i.e., Incorporeal World, for which we must all need to put in our best efforts to burn our past sins and misdeeds through God’s loving and powerful remembrance and thus become viceless and pure.
But this destruction will be followed by the establishment of new world – Golden Age or Paradise, where everything will be pure and fresh. So, in order to be part of the new civilization, let’s pledge on this Dussehra, to forge all relationships with God and burn the vicious Ravana from our mind and intellect completely, and thus, become entitled to our God Fatherly birthright of Golden Age for 21 births. This will be celebrating Dusshera in the real sense. (The writer is a Faculty, Brahma Kumaris, RERF, Itanagar & Professor & Head, Dept. of Education, Rajiv Gandhi Central University, Rono Hills)

We are too facing acute shortage of land
Dear Editor,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, the Bongleng Village Development Society (BVDS) would like to request the SSB officers/officials of Tawang District not to request our villagers for giving plot of land in our Bongleng village as we are already facing acute shortage of Land within our village itself. Moreover, our villagers have not sold even a single piece of Land to other people (other villagers/District), which is as per customary law. Of course SSB officers/officials are very helpful to our villagers for providing some solar lights, but unfortunately, we are sorry to say that we are not able to spare our land to the SSB due to limited Land.

Let the truth come out in public domain
Dear Editor,
This is the first time in state that an IPS officer defamed the state by misleading the public by framing himself as went missing or kidnapped. IPS officer M S Chauhan, mysteriously went missing in Tippi, Bhalukpong, West Kameng district on October 16, has been traced in New Delhi on Sunday. It is very serious crime in part of police.
His integrity was always in doubt during his entire service life in Arunachal as
a responsible police officer. In last year Assembly session, even our MLAs also raised
question on his integrity that he have taken bribe or demanded huge amount of money
from accused persons of PDS scam case. He was the investigating officer of PDS scam
in which many high profile people were involved and became accused. He even did not
enter his name in Police check Gate at Bhalukpong as it is informed by officer In-
His intentions are very much cleared that he wanted to defame state Government by framing himself as gone missing. Missing and kidnapping report has been widely published in media in national level.
Is this a work of vigilance officer of a state? There are so many questions arises
-
All his mobile details should be cracked including driver and attach police officer. Find out the persons who were the mastermind behind them. His job be suspended and terminated if found guilty. Severe punishment should be given to him as per law of land.

Angling in Ganga Lake
Dear Editor,
Once some of my friends and I were having a discussion to how to attract tourist in Ganga Lake. Other than those usual suggestions, someone came up with this idea of allowing angling in the lake. I think it will be a great idea if a regulated fishing is allowed in the lake, either throughout the year or in the form of an annual festival or something. The interested fishermen will be charged a fixed rate for the purpose and the fish could either be released back or be allowed to take home for food. However, a detail study has to be carried out to find out whether the practice will have any negative impact on the fish species of the lake. Fishery department can help the management to introduce and maintain fish population of the lake. If all the aspects are taken care of, angling will surely attract a lot of people around the region.
Yours’

Disaster management and role of women
Over half of the 200 million people affected by disasters each year were female, according to the head of the UN office for Disaster Risk Reduction Margareta Wahlström. She called on women and girls to take leadership in disaster management in a world where disasters are on the rise and further said that the best disaster recovery programmes in the world involve women who have survived such events. “If we are to build true disaster resilience we need to put the emphasis on their greater involvement before disasters strike.”
Women are responsible for many of the key strategic decisions of daily life. In many parts of the world this includes securing food, water and energy. They have real impact when they are fully involved in community planning for disaster risk reduction.
