Start large scale drive against encroachers
There is a saying which says, ‘where there's a will there's a way.’ The capital administration is coming down hard against illegal land encroaches along the national highway to pave the way for construction of 4 lane highway. Their move is praiseworthy and it gives hope that someday similar action can be initiated against govt land encroachers across the state. The strong tactic used by administration seems to be working as many citizens voluntarily dismantled the building which was under ROW.
The administration is currently carrying out the eviction of those structures which has not been voluntarily dismantled by the owners. Even though it was feared that law and order might break down due to carrying out of eviction drive, the whole process is going on smoothly. Magistrate team comprising of EAC Naharlagun Hento Karga, EAC Land management Liken Koyu and EAC Itanagar Tame Yajum deserves appreciation for initiating strong action against the illegal encroachers. The early construction of 4 lane highway is expected to ease traffic congestion in capital complex. The denizens of capital should extend every possible help to the authorities so that 4 lane highway works start soon. Also taking cue from present eviction drive, the capital administration should start identifying government land encroachers in every nook and corner of capital complex and start the eviction drive. There is growing scarcity of govt land because of the rampant encroachment. Before it gets too late capital administration should start massive drive against the illegal land encroachers.

It's high time we act
Dear Editor,
This is regarding the recent issue of adoption of rehabilitation package for Tibetan refugees by the Govt of Arunachal. I want to emphasize on word refugee and make it clear that Tibetans are refugee in Arunachal. The current CM, DCM , Speaker and Member of Parliament belongs to one particular religion and we can empathize with their feeling as they enjoy good relation with Tibetan leader Dalai Lama but they should never forget that majority of Arunachal is right now very angry with the decision of state government. If it were some other Indian state there would have been riots. But we Arunachalees are peaceful and are not violently reacting to such blunder. I just want to tell our Arunachalee brothers that it's high time we act before some people sell us out.
Yours,
DM
Rape slur on so called nationalist
Dear Editor,
This is in response to a report under the headline 'RSS Pracharak arrested on rape and kidnapping charges' published today in your daily. Law says that unless someone is proven guilty he/she is innocent and therefore let me reserve my judgment on this case. But after going through the whole news I could make out that something definitely went wrong and my sympathy is with poor girl and her family.
Strange that a rape charge has been made against a person who represents an organization
(RSS) which claim itself to be a nationalist organization. The members of RSS do
not hesitate to declare those who oppose their view as anti-

These lot just don't know the very essence of India which is not the paternal property, personal fiefdom or colony of Hindi speakers and Hindus. The Hindi imperialists should remember that there is no provision of any particular "National Language" in the Constitution.
It should remember how the Judiciary (Gujarat High Court) has repeatedly ignored
the claim of Hindi being the "National Language". While Chief Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya

a FOREIGN LANGUAGE in Gujarat" which in spirit means that Hindi is nothing but a

Garbage dumping poses health hazard
Dear editor,
Through your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention to the concerned
authority regarding the dumping of garbage by the local vegetable vendors, meat and
fish sellers as well as the local residents of Chandranagar at main market. It has
become a breeding ground for Mosquitoes and Tug-
Since the garbage area is located in the middle of town it not only gives bad impression to the outsiders but also could be the source of various diseases and illness to the denizens who resides in the area. Therefore, as a responsible citizen I would like to put forth my sincere appeal to the concern authority to take necessary measures by taking strict actions and penalties to the violators.
Yours,

"The rape and kidnapping of a minor by RSS Pracharak in Namsai district is heart wrenching and highly condemnable. In fact it is an eye opener for the people of Arunachal Pradesh as RSS's tall claim of Matrutva, Netrutva and Kartrutva (Motherhood, Social leadership and Professional Excellence) to fight social evils has been exposed. Their Pracharak is acting like agent of social evil and such evil deed of a Pracharak is trampling their own teachings to build Aatmabal (inner strength)," stated APCC in a release.
The accused Narendra Kumar Singh must be subjected to rigorous and exemplary punishment so that such heinous crime is not repeated, the APCC stated.
Further Congress party added, "Arunachal Pradesh is a state where we celebrate the advancement of women and girls and have heartwarming images of women in our society. Presence of such criminal is like a hair across the cheek. You can't see it, you can't find it with your fingers, but you keep brushing at it because the feel of it is irritating. Hence, the people of the state must unite and deport such criminal Pracharak to planet where they belong to."
