Do you agree with the government’s decision to not build roads unless land is...

Comments from readers: - 1. It's a good initiative. But the government should give some remuneration as per the market value and verify the purpose of the structures built. 2. I don't agree completely. If land on the way is the only meaningful property a person owns, whether inherited or bought...

Should NRC exercise be carried out in other northeastern states?

Comments from readers: - 1. Yes! It should be. But for Arunachal, it is not required because our state is protected by the BEFR, 1873.

Has the state government kept its promises made during the 2019 election?

Comments from readers: - 1. We are still waiting and noticing. 2. It is still the same old method to fool our common people. 3. The government has failed each and every individual of the state. Despite there being BJP government at the Centre and in the state, they have failed to...

Should the Centre do away with Article 371 (H)?

Comments from readers: - 1. For true democracy, power should be with the chief minister not the governor. Article 371 gives power to the governor to undermine the chief minister. 2. Article 371 (H) grants no special rights as that of 371 (A). It's just eyewash. 3. Yes, instead of this article,...

Comments from readers: - 1. It's not suitable to say their names... but there are many friends of mine who are addicted to narcotics. 2. Drug problem is becoming rampant. Youngsters, both boys and girls, are seen indulging in it mostly in the form of bhaang or cannabis. They perceive it...

Are you satisfied with the state budget ?

Comments from readers: - 1. If this type of budget could have been prepared since 1987 then every Arunachalee would have been the richest person on Earth. 2.

It’s time the LGBTIQ community got due recognition in Arunachal society.

Comments from readers: - 1. Nothing matters at the end of life. Live and let live. 2. What is the meaning of this poll? 3. It's not necessary for anyone to be an LGBT to understand their suffering. Being in love doesn't hurt anyone. They should have the rights too to express...

Do you think the killers responsible for the massacre of 11 people, including MLA...

Comments from readers: – 1.No, they will never be caught. The peace accord between the government and the NSCN faction responsible for the massacre has restricted the government from arresting them. The government should make the accord public. 2. Because the conspiracy is political and no political lord would want to...

Who is responsible for the pathetic condition of the capital’s highway?

Comments from readers: - 1. It's a collaborative blunder. I wonder whether the ministers ever use the road. I bet their luxurious cars don't make them feel the camel humps of a road and they fly everywhere. Even the police now have Mahindra Thar. Why? Because of the horrible roads....

Are you satisfied with the composition of the new state cabinet?

Comments from readers: - 1. With no woman in the cabinet, it is far from being satisfactory. Patriarchy overloaded! 2. No equal representation; some tribes have been given three and others zero. The portfolios have also not been equally distributed, based on the location and the importance of the portfolios. 3. No....

Is the operation against the NSCN in the TCL region by the security forces...

Comments from readers: - 1. Unless the local people stop helping the insurgents, no operation can wipe it out from TCL. 2. The APP and the IRBn are sitting ducks, and the army is helpless and clueless. They act smart in front of civilians and not with militants. 3. The Indian Army...

Are the central and the state governments doing enough to contain NSCN-sponsored violence in...

Comments from readers: - 1. Who knows, those who are in the government might be using the NSCN for their own interests.

Are community-based organizations relevant in our state?

Comments from readers: - 1. Community-based organisations are the greatest dividers of the Arunachalee society. The so-called tribe-based and clan-based organisations should be discouraged and all-round district-based or circle-based organisations should be encouraged, which would include people form every section of the society, irrespective of tribe, clan, gender, etc. 2. It...

Should there be a pre-board exam/selection test for Class 10 students in Arunachal?

Comments from readers: - 1. Absolutely. Had it been implemented properly, the scenario of the results would have been much better. The higher authorities need to revive the rules and prioritize the education sector. The education system has been in a shambles and it's disheartening seeing the poorest of scenarios...
