ITANAGAR, Sep 6: Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly Speaker Wanglin Lowangdong today adjourned the fourth session of the House sine die at the conclusion of day's business.
On the concluding day, replying to a special mention in the Legislative Assembly
today by PPA MLA Takam Tagar regarding nonpayment of pending bills to the PDS contractor
from 2004-
He informed the House that a delegation, led by him, had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, AICC president Sonia Gandhi, besides the Union Food and Civil Supplies Minister, apprising them of the huge PDS bills to the contractors pending since 2004 onwards.
Khandu said the Centre had agreed to pay 50 per cent of the amount in the first phase for the bills pending from the year 2007 till date but had refused to pay the earlier bills for the year 2004 to 2006, as it was subjudiced.
The chief minister said the state government had been urging the Centre to release the pending PDS bills stating that the law and order situation in the state would deteriorate if there was further delay in making payment to the contractors.
Khandu assured the members of the House that the Centre will issue an order for making part payment soon on the request of the state government.
Tagar said that “28 carriage contractors have obtained High Court orders against their pending Hill Transport Subsidy bill amounting to Rs 205.00 cr. Likewise, eight money decrees has been passed by Fast Tract Court on September 2007 against the state Government with 6% interest levied annually for Rs 326.00 cr. and upon the decreed amount the total interest till date has come almost Rs 75.0 crores. The total amount pending as per High court order and money decree is Rs 531.00 crores. Due to non compliance of the court order the transporters has filled an execution/attachment of the govt. properties and rest of the transporters has filled a contempt proceedings of the court against the state Govt. officers”.
Earlier, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Tanga Byaling said the huge amount of Rs 531 crore against the pending PDS bills of contractors could not be borne by the state government without Centre's help as the state had got limited resources.

The House Committee recommended that all MLAs, who were not provided government accommodation, would be provided the same at an early date in group system in the same locality for easy management of essential services and also from security point of view.
It also suggested that if the government could not arrange to provide government accommodation to the MLAs, the existing house rent of Rs 10,000 per month would be enhanced to Rs 25,000 only as compensation. (with input from UNI)

ITANAGAR, Sept 6: The Former Chief Minister Gegong Apang was interrogated today under medical supervision by Special Investigation Cell on multi crore PDS scam. Apang who was remanded to seven days Police custody for his alleged role in the scam on Aug 24 last by the Special Session Court, Lakhimpur is currently lodged at R K Mission hospital because of ill health. After the completion of seven days on Aug 31, the remand was extended to another week.
Meanwhile, the bail petition of former Chief Minister Gegong Apang could not come up today for formal hearing as the Judge of Itanagar bench of Gauhati High court Ketulhou Meruno could not hear the bail petition citing personal reasons. However the Judge gave the permission that the bail be heard at a Lower Court.
The bail petition would be moved at the Lower Court on Sept 7.
Yesterday, the SIC SP M S Chauhan while speaking to the media divulged that the prosecution sanction from the government is pending with regard to 44 government employees while the prosecution sanction has been obtained for few IAS officers involved.
Special court judge objects to SIC statement on grant of bail
ITANAGAR, Sept 6: The Deputy Commissioner Kurung Kumey Bidol Tayeng who was judge of the Special Court, Yupia trying the PDS Scam before it was transferred out to Guwahati High Court objected to his name being dragged in to the current state of affairs, as mentioned by M. S. Chauhan, SP SIC.
Refuting the statement by Chauhan in a press conference yesterday, the former judge clarified that “Whenever any accused persons in connection with PDS case were arrested and produced before the Special Court Yupia by the SIC, the IO had always said that custodial interrogation was not required and therefore the court may release the accused person on bail”.
In such case, Tayeng said it would have been arbitrary on the part of the court to detain a person in police custody when the IO submitted that there was no need for detention.
Therefore, the persons arrested by SIC were granted bail by the Special Court Yupia on the basis of prayers of the IO.
When the SIC itself had not opposed the bail applications of the arrested persons before the court, and the court has granted bail, it was unnecessary for my name to be mentioned in the press conference, Tayeng said.

AAPSU wants Centre’s action against “Chinese stooge” Ramesh
ITANAGAR, Sept 6: All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has said that it would protest against visit of Minister of Environment and Forest Jairam Ramesh to Arunachal Pradesh who the Union termed as a Chinese stooge and acting on behalf of China. The Minister is scheduled to visit Pasighat in Sept 11 to have talks with those protesting against the dams in Siang.
The students are upset after the statement made by the Ramesh on May 9, 2010 where he advocated seeking Chinese expertise for constructing dams in Arunachal Pradesh and wants action by the centre against the minister.
At a time, when we are vehemently protesting China’s illogical claim over our State and its expansionist agenda, such an irresponsible and outrageous comment from a Union Minister prompted us to give vent to our anger by burning his effigy, the very next day.

ITANAGAR, Sept 6: Kargu Kardi Students’ Union (KKSU) has postponed its proposed dharna to Sept 29 next.

Govt appoints CE as Secy without vigilance clearance
ITANAGAR, Sept 6: Despite refusal by the Vigilance Department to issue vigilance clearance, the state government has elevated Chief Engineer Gaken Ete as Secretary water Resources development in an order dated 31 Aug 2010.
The Vigilance Dept refused to give clearance on Aug 24 to Ete while it cleared the names of four other officers.
According to papers available, the state government has overlooked the CCS rules, where it is mandated that any appointment or promotion require due clearance certificate from the Vigilance Dept.
Before his elevation, Ete was Chief Engineer (officiating).
“No dams on Siang” says Forum as it questions consultative meet
ITANAGAR, Sept 6: Siang Peoples Forum has condemned the arbitrary stand taken by the East Siang District Administration in selection of organizations to take part in the proposed public consultation in regards to Lower Siang Hydro Electric Power Project on September 7. The meeting is being convened by Government of Arunachal Pradesh.
The forty participants from various organisations short listed by the East Siang district administration were arbitrarily put up with no prior information to all the protesting groups.
Going by the conduct of East Siang district administration, we are left with no option but to conclude that public consultation is stage managed for a pro dam outcome, said the release.
The meet is a ploy to derail the anti dam sentiments which have recently started taking place in the minds of the common people of the Siang valley in particular and Arunachal Pradesh in general, it added.
The meet is nothing but a drama staged on behalf of Jaypee Associates and players who continue to sing to the tune Jaypee wants. Unfortunately among those dancing to the tunes of Jaypee would be the legislators of the district who were elected by the very citizens who do not want dams on Siang, it said.
The Forum reiterating its stand which was made known to Union Minister for Environment and Forests at New Delhi on August 10, said ‘No Dams on Siang’.
ITANAGAR, Sept 6: Acting on a tip-
With his arrest, almost all the members of NLCT have been arrested, said Chukhu Apa, SP, Capital Itanagar. He informed that some of the arrested cadres are still in jail, including its chairman Anthony Doke, and some are on bail.
Police also arrested Lokam Talo, president of Arunachal Youth Organization for firing at one Chakpu Gamsi on August 28.
Talo fired at Gamsi on August 8 last following a minor argument and inflicted serious injuries on him. Police is making move to cancel his gun license obtained from Singchung West Siang, the SP said.
According to police, Talo is a dreaded and habitual criminal against whom there are atleast a dozen cases pending trial for heinous crimes, including illegal possession of arms and ammunitions, the SP informed.
Meanwhile, the SP appealed to all sections of people to cooperate with police in its endeavour to bring an end to illegal and criminal activities within capital complex in particular. He regretted that some Govt. officials have paid money to criminals on being served extortion notice to them in the name of NLCT. He clarified that local underground (UG) elements have been neutralized and those who are still indulging in criminal activity like serving extortion notice in the name of NLCT are miscreants which police are actively investigating, the SP added.
Pinch bats for Arunachal at NCP convention
ITANAGAR, Sept 6: Arunachal Pradesh is a very much integral part of India, said Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Arunachal Pradesh President Ngurang Pinch while addressing the NCP convention held at New York, America on Sept 3 and 4.
Exhorting the foreign investors/corporate to extend support in making Arunachal a state throbbing with development activities, Pinch said there is enormous scope to extend cooperation particularly in the field of technical and medical education, horticulture and food processing and rural and urban development activities in Arunachal Pradesh.
Giving a brief historical background of Arunachal Pradesh, Pinch, however, regretted that being the store house of enormous potentials for development, the state is suffering for want of proper, fool proof planning for development and a corruption free administration due to lack of strong political will.
“Lack of understanding about ground realities has spoiled the broth for hydro-
He said the growth so far visible in Arunachal is cosmetic and most of the promised things are yet to be realized. What Arunachal needs today is a definite relief from corruption and money culture, he said.
Pinch said, in Arunachal Pradesh Panchayat bodies are elected but without meaningful financial power. The NCP has to decide now as to how to make rural bodies financially strong to serve the needy and poor.
He said popularizing a corruption free, accepted and viable development plan and programmes will help the NCP to gain people’s confidence in Arunachal Pradesh for having a NCP Govt in coming days.
He also proposed a NCP conclave at Itanagar to restructure the political scenario of the state.

Don’t make wide publicity without any practical end
Dear Editor,
My brother and I who had an important meeting at Bhalukpong on 6th September had to defer the meeting.
We postponed it because ANSU decided to call capital bandh on Monday, 6th September; finally to know that we wasted our time.
Fully decided Bandh calls has also become a compromised item, like we have compromised opposition and compromised RTI applicants in the state.
Many sections of society including business community, officers, students, far off inhabitants of districts, and even leaders plan their work accordingly. When we have to plan at the last moment because of the bandhs, it definitely affects the whole schedule.
In fact, the demands made by ANSU are genuine and it will serve every section of populations irrespective of communities.
Establishment of institute of national repute at nearby capital region and good road connectivity will be benefited by Arunachal as a whole, not just inhabitants of Nyishi belt so everyone should support it. But, putting things half away is not a good idea. Once decided we must go for it rather than believing at the mere verbal assurance of CM.
Bandh decision was called off at the request of ABK for Solung Festival. That's fine-
At least the work of urgent requirements under the ambit of state administration should be taken care off. We should realize the pains, which people of far away districts have to suffer during bandh call in Assam.
I request the concerned students' organization to go ahead with the genuine bandh call once decided or else, don't make wide publicity without any practical end.
Yours,

Restore power service
Dear Editor,
I would like to draw attention of the M.L.A Yachuli Constituency that, we have two old Hydro Power Houses i.e. Tago 4.5 MW and Mai 5.00 MW but we are sufferers of power crises and irregularities of power supply. Despite two power houses, we are facing power crises.
When these two projects were newly commissioned, the power was often supplied to neighboring state like Assam.
But due to non renovation, the power houses are unable to power supply even to the village for which it is meant.
The two should be renovated within no time to restore power crises prevailing in the Constituency.
Hence, I request the MLA to kindly look into the problem seriously and initiate the matter with the Govt.
Yours,

Soft voice gets subdued by louder noise
Dear Editor,
Apropos to article “ANYA opposes demand” dated 05/09/10. It was disheartening for common people like us to see that a powerful organization is opposing the demand of autonomous council by Apatani Student Union which was a ray of hope for common people like us .Yet, to be pragmatic, its every organisation’s duty to look after their own people first. So the demand of both the party is quite fair.
Yet, I would like to appeal the govt. of Arunachal Pradesh to look after the welfare of majority as well as minority equally.
Looking at the development schemes coming to Ziro valley despite being headquarter of lower Subansiri is pathetic. In present scenario, the fact is that Ziro valley is totally being deprived of any political, social and Economic advantage.
Being one of the minority tribe of Arunachal the voice is often not being heard by the govt. and the soft voice gets subdued by louder noise.
So it is high time for govt. of Arunachal Pradesh to protect the interest of minority so that they feel safe and secured. It’ll be good will of govt. and to their propaganda “ for the Aam Admi” if they provide autonomous council to the Apatani Valley. So that the faith in the govt. sustains.
Yours,
Ole (on email)
An appeal to West Siang DLAAB
Dear Editor,
I have been suffering from locomotive disabilities since my childhood and as such am unable to live up to the expectation of my parents.
However, there is a ray of hope for the persons with disabilities with the enactment of Persons with Disabilities (equal opportunities, protection of right and full participation) Act 1995, which promise to uphold the dignity, honour and welfare of the disabled persons.
Section 43 of the Act also read “the appropriate government and local authorities shall frame schemes in favour of persons with disabilities for the preferential allotment of land at concessional rate for house and setting up of business.
Considering all the points of the Act, the district administration surveyed a plot of land near the Power House for business purpose for the disabled persons like me and placed its report for approval of DLAAB.
Therefore, I request the DLAAB to consider the case sympathetically to mitigate the sufferings of a disable person.
Yours
