[ Tongam Rina ]
The resurgence of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (K) in North East has brought in a wave of violent attacks in Arunachal, Nagaland and Manipur. Since walking out of ceasefire agreement after fourteen years in March this year, the Khaplang faction of the NSCN led by the Myanmarese Naga rebel leader S S Khaplang has carried out deadly attacks against the Indian Army.
The most recent one being a week ago in Manipur’s Chandel district where 18 soldiers were killed in one of the worst attacks on the Indian Army.
Considered very close to the Indian Army at one point, the sudden change in attitude has certainly triggered much discomfort within the Army establishment.

BJP urges Centre for initiating confidence building measures
ITANAGAR, June 9: State Bharaitiya Janata Party (BJP) has appealed to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs for initiating confidence building measures among people of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh involving state governments of both the neighbouring states.
It is of paramount importance in the light of repeated attack on innocent people of Arunachal Pradesh by people of Assam to hammer out a sustainable mechanism by the government of both the states to find a lasting solution to the recurring problem to restore peace and harmony among people of both the sisterly states, said BJP in its memorandum to the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs.
Arunachalees have always been the soft targets and victims of such incidents, the BJP said while citing the recent Behali incident where three persons were attempted to set on fire along with their car by some irate mob.
The party also doubted the role and integrity of some regional electronic media and
criticised them for giving coverage of such incidents in distorted form misleading
people and fueling anti-
It requires proper and impartial investigation to unzip the root cause of such problems in order to restore the degrading relationships, faith and trust among the people of the two states, especially young generation, the memorandum said.
“Though we are separated geographically, we the people of both Assam and Arunachal Pradesh have a time tested cultural and emotional bonds besides matrimonial relationships. It should not let be eroded these bonds at any cost. We should not allow those divisive forces to take the opportunity of the situation for further division and creating hatred and enmity among the people of the two states,” the memorandum added.
5783 patients avail benefit of APCMUHIS
ITANAGAR, June 9: A total of 5783 patients have so far availed the benefits and 2,25,128 families have been enrolled under Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister’s Universal Health Insurance Scheme (APCMUHIS) since its inception in the state, according to an official release.
At present there are about 64 empanelled Hospitals across the country besides state Govt. Hospitals. Both the New India Assurance Company, which is the insurance provider, and the Dedicated Health Care Services which is the third party administrator are responsible for the process of enrollment and settlement of claims.
The implementation of the scheme is being reviewed time to time by the State Government on the basis of feedback from DMO's.
While reacting to the reports of technical fault with the APCMUHIS cards and that they are being rejected as cards have expired in some places, the authorities clarified that the card activation has been done from 16th September 2014 and it will be effective continuously till further notification. Further, since the scheme is meant to be implemented in cashless manner hence beneficiaries need not pay up to the insured sum of Rs.2 lakhs to the empanelled hospital. Finally, the card user must see the billing by the hospital to avoid instances of wrong billing, or high billing and any other nature of moral hazard to ensure optimum utilisation of the scheme for the people of the state, the release said.
Timely premium payment have been made to the insurer and there is no delay in payments, the release further said adding for future payment necessary funds have been deposited in bank escrow account in order to ensure there is no delay or uncertainty in payment.

Our reality
Dear Editor,
Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to highlight upon some of the practical realities of Changlang district. The People of Changlang are known for their sincerity, cold and mild nature and hard work. The ongoing crisis of law and order, insurgencies and violence problems within the district are not the creation of the innocent common people of the district. Ever since the Changlang district has been declared disturbed area and put under the umbrella of AFSPA, 1956 Changlang district has witnessed many unturned incidents of violence and crime.
The irony is that the district administration in the name of AFSPA is misusing their
powers and unnecessarily torturing the common people lives. Whereas, the Changlang
district is surrounded by many such problems like unemployment, lack of education
qualities with no sufficient teaching staff and proper infrastructures, water scarcity,
road and Tele-
Every year the school dropouts in Changlang district are increasing due to non availability
of hostel facilities. Also, due to the non-
The unemployed youths of the district remain frustrated having no choices to earn their livelihood. The district administration has never addressed the human development of the local people. It should be the moral and constitutional duty of the district administration to guide and restraint the frustrated youth by placing a policy of self help provision. Many local level contract works has been awarded to the outsiders whereas our local contractors and local citizens remain without any work. I request the public leaders and district administration of Changlang to understand the problems of the common people and address their problems.

Dear Editor,

Department and Finance Department relating to pay up-
On the other hands, the Administrative Reforms Department (ARD) greets us with ‘Sorry! Cannot help outside the rule’ written on its door. Is recommending the up gradation of pay scale LDC and UDC against the CPC’s recommendation in the rule of ARD? Interestingly, the ARD gave comment for pay up gradation of LDC/SK at the time when the ‘Austerity Measure” was on operation. It rejected the proposals of other employees on the name of CPC Rule and Austerity Measure.
The Finance Department (FD) always cries of financial shortage but why does it not stop unlawful up gradation of pay scales?
The CoSAAP, ARD and FD must strictly follow the CPC’s rule.
If they set such example of anti-
The posts whose scale of pay is mentioned in the Pay Commission means that enough care has been taken by the Commission for those posts. However, the pay scale of posts not mentioned in the CPC may be reviewed and can be enhanced if necessary because of the fact that these/this posts might have been remained unattended in the last Pay Commission.

Monsoon woes
Dear Editor,
I wish to seek the courtesy of your esteemed daily to draw the kind attention of concerned Department and Govt. towards the pitiable condition of roads and cleanliness in the Capital Complex. With the onset of Monsoon, the lives of capital dwellers are getting tougher due to the dilapidated road condition.
Potholes with yawning gaps and bumpy rides awaits you as you step out of your house and hit the roads of capital complex. Drainage on the sides of the roads is filled up with garbage and emits foul smell and also becoming the sweet breeding place for mosquitoes and stray animals.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pet project “ Swatchch Bharat Abhiyan” came like a
tsunami and is melting away like a snow. There is no smooth run for transport. The
vehicles have to halt after every 5-
The roads are in such a dismal condition because the department concerned puts a few low quality of sand gravels into road potholes and pours a little amount of low quality bitumen to level them which cannot last even for few months. The absence of proper drainage is also responsible for the washing away of roads by the rain water.
The Govt. and Department concerned is turning a blind eye towards this problem. I suggest the Govt. to look into this matter before the anger of public explodes. Also, the general public should refrain from throwing garbage to the roadside drain.
Yours,
Nyalen Hakom
