Where are the chart toppers?
Dear Editor,
Taking into account the limitation of CBI, probe into the multi crore PDS scam seems unlikely in the near future as the concerned investigation agency requires government's clearance for getting into action. Few past probes undertaken by the concerned agency too imply that it mostly function on the behest of the people in power. Probes were abandoned midway, on the threshold of solving a case, when ever people at the top feared the outcome will not favour them. Competency of CBI officers are unquestionable but they are rarely given a free hand.
Unfortunately here too, people concerned are at the helm of the state's affairs and themselves happen to be involved in the scam in some way or other. They definitely will never invite the CBI for an independent probe to crack this embezzlement nut and guide the noose around their own neck. As claimed by some directly or indirectly involved of being unstained and all the allegation being devoid of facts then why do they hesitate when there has been demands from every quarter for an independent probe to punish all those involved in this multi crore scam? Why this CBI phobia, if their names are being dragged only to attain some political mileage by few individuals? Why do they show no interest of countering the allegations practically before debasement?
Of being under custody, police or judicial, the former CM's happened to be longest followed by SP Bhutia so far. Does that mean their involvement in this scam happened to be of most stringent nature ? If the serial number of the list of accused published in this daily,20 Sept 10, indicative to the depth of one's involvement then SP Bhutia and the former CM's happened to be no. 4 and 5 respectively, intriguingly, chart toppers are still untouched by the tentacles of present investigating cell.
On the other hand, if the duration in custodial detainment is considered as a measuring scale to weight the gravity of involvement in the scam, the former CM's being the longest, his serial number should have been 1 on the list of accused. As such, the accused number 1 himself dared a CBI probe earlier why should those lower in rank of this scam stars team hesitant to a probe by more competent investigation agency if they are the lesser evils? Why not wash off the dirt of accusation early? Or are we under a failed system where makers law are the law breakers indulging in corruptions, nepotisms, favouritism. Custodian of law too often break the barrier at will, who will rein the bureaucrats, where is the CS, why is the ministry of home silent on this grave issue? Bowling offline, can the citizens be enlightened about the action taken or initiated against the accused of 16 crore treasury scam of Anini ? Or has there been a shady dealing too as usual?
It has been proved time and again that public has a very short memory and flame of
every burning issue will extinguish slowly, naturally. It is the preferable tactic
of the government in dealing with various demands of the common man. Mistake is ours,
tomorrow another election to choose between an angel and a devil will be entrusted
on our shoulder, another opportunity to cleansed the undesirable prevailing system,
here again we tend to behave like a spoiled child and re-
Despite being encircled by uphill challenges in the desert of corruption and an obdurate government against independent probe efforts of the torch bearers like AIPU, AVYF, AYA, WSDSU, GSU to combat social evils is inspirational and deserves appreciation and support. Myopia of few cynics who find illogical faults in this movement cannot daunt the spirit and determination of diligent organisations or unions and their supporters. We sincerely hope their efforts will fructify and bring all those who have erred to books.

Give them the due
Dear Editor,
I would like to awaken everyone concerned that sportsperson in our state also deserves the advantage in govt. jobs and academic institutions.
Though I am not a sportsperson, yet I appeal to all the concerned authorities that given the time, energy and money lost by the sportsperson for the state, school or college, they should be given a fairer chance even while seeking govt. jobs. Being a sportsperson doesn't mean that he/she shall be directly attached to only sports department for jobs. There are many states like Manipur, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu etc where there is a direct reservations for sports veterans.
I in support of the sportspersons requests all recruitment agencies irrespective of whatever department it may be like the PSUs, NGOs ,various govt. departments or even the APPSC should give due importance to the certificates/testimonials of the sports veterans in all forms of examinations be it walk in interview, personal interview or Viva Voce tests.
Yours,

Never give up hope
Dear Editor,
"An appeal” by N Tari, Pasighat, was heart touching. To the Arunachal Pradesh Handicapped society I would like to say they all are no lesser mortals than anyone of us. The greatest scientist of our times and one of the greatest of all the times Stephen W. Hawking" despite suffering from a crippling disease has leaped beyond relativity, beyond quantum mechanics, beyond big bang, to the dance of geometry that created universe. He is the greatest physicist, the Master of the Universe and the person to voyage to frontiers of Cosmos, Space & time.
The result of APPSCE (MAINS) where only one single candidate of PWD category is selected for Viva Voce seems to be unfair but never give up the hope. In order to run, motor vehicles need fuel, which is an ordered form of energy, and in the process heat energy is produced which is a disordered form of energy. The existence of "disordered" form of energy in Public Commission is nothing new, and in our state disordered form of energy exist everywhere, threatening journalist, PDS Scam etc.

Golden rule is not applicable anymore
Dear Editor,
The publication captioned ‘Brave KGGBV girls clear up road blockage’ as published on Oct’22 in your esteemed daily was eye catching and deserved applause. At last, the fairer sex had to intervene.
In a male dominated society like ours, since ages it is considered unfair to depend on fairer sex for getting work done which is actually considered a men’s work. But this age old ‘golden rule’ seems no more applicable as the men folk are busy loitering in the capital or District headquarters, intimidating the business community or Govt. Officers or otherwise drunk most of the time. And those in offices seem busy earning extra penny. KGGBH Girls, Bravo!
Yours,
Senior Citizen,

Red, discharging and itchy eyes -
Dr. Taba Khanna
Every day at eye out patient department, many patients are coming for consultation
and treatment with typical common complaints – redness, watering from eyes, discharge,
gluing of lids in the morning, blurring of vision and seeing rainbow like color haloes
around the point sources of light. Many of them are coming after trying possible
home remedies or popularly used, over the counter eye drops like I-
In fact, the present epidemics of red, hot, itchy and discharging eyes, which has
been relentlessly troubling our population is due to epidemic conjunctivitis, caused
mainly by group of viruses. The conjunctivitis caused by these viruses usually presents
with redness, watery discharge from eyes, foreign body sensations, occasionally associated
with fever, throat pain, dry cough, pain and swelling in front of ear (s) especially
in children. The disease is highly communicable, usually transmitted by air, direct
contact with discharge material through handshake, sharing fomites etc. These are
usually self-
Now then what the poor patients, who are at the mercy of unforgiving organisms should
do? Try one of those home remedies? Buy commonly used eye drops from chemists? Take
advice of friend who had suffered and became alright with certain remedial measures?
Request your family physician to prescribe one or still confused and just bear the
brunt of troubled eyes? My sincere advice would be to consult DR. RIGHT-
Apart from seeing the eye specialists for advice and treatment, the general population
can up to some extent prevent themselves and their kith and kins from spreading in
the family or among peer group of their children, which can be done by maintaining
some simple measures by: -
• Avoiding sharing of towels, handkerchiefs, pencil, pen or soap of infected person. Such fomites should be washed thoroughly
• Frequent washing of face with clean and cool/cold water.
• Avoid shaking hands with patients.
• Taking care of common door handles, as in toilet or bathrooms.
• Avoid prolong sharing of closed and crowded room with the infected persons.
• Washing your hands with soap before and after applying eye drop/ointment on your relatives.
• Wearing of goggles by patients helps to avoid uncomfortable wind and light and to some extent reduces transmission by controlling dissemination of organisms.
• Educate each other about the ocular hygiene in the community, if you have learned something about its transmission and prevention.
So, avoid self medication and save the God’s most beautiful gift to us and enjoy the beauty of His creation.

India and its national character
By Kago Gambo
India has produced several Miss Worlds, Miss Asia-
Above all, the best part of India is its national character. Whenever emergency (be
it natural calamities or external aggression) comes up, whole people of India start
standing united like a rock and handle it very well. It has been proved during Kargil
war and all other emergencies and disasters, like Gujarat earthquakes or Orissa cyclone.
Democracy could not survive well in the neighbouring countries and in several other
countries in the world. But democracy has survived in India for the last 50 years
or so and hopefully will continue to be so in the future to come. Indian leaders
and statesmen are no less diplomatic and tactful than any other counter part in the
world. This also really makes us proud. One such instance was when we isolated Pakistan
at the time of Kragil War almost from every other countries in the world. Other such
instance is that lately we could win the heart and friendship of the only super power
of the world, i.e. USA. India believes in peace, harmony, unity and integrity. She
does not believe in terrorism which is a world-
Lastly, if mention is not made of thousand other factors of India which may make us proud of being Indian in the similar manners, we will failing on our part and do injustice to ourselves and mother India. Let us say, what about many other persons and personalities whom we should be proud of and who have not been mentioned here. Even manual and agricultural workers who toil for us since morning till evening silently are to be more proud of their contribution which gives us basic necessities of life or survivals like food, shelter or clothing which form the basic backbone of humanity. Those people who silently sacrificed their lives for the sake of India’s freedom whose names may or may not be found in the history books even do also make us proud.
