Manipur's hill tribes demand PR New Delhi, September 2 (iANS): The people of Manipur's hill districts on Wednesday demanded imposition of president's rule in the state following the death of eight people in violence in Churachandpur district earlier this week Following a protest rally organised by the Manipur Tribals Forum, Delhi, at the Jantar Mantar here on Wednesday, the Manipur Tribal Students, Delhi, submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding, among other things, imposition of president's rule in the trouble-torn northeastern state. At least eight people were killed and more than 30 injured after violence erupted on Monday evening following Manipur government's adoption of three landmark bills - Protection of Manipur People Bill 2015, Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms Bill 2015, and Manipur Shops and Establishment Bill 2015. The bills were unanimously passed in the assembly on Monday after the ruling Congress signed an agreement with the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) on August 25. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Manipur Tribals Forum said that the three bills would directly undermine the existing safeguards for the tribal hill areas regarding land-ownership and population influx as the primary
ZYF flays police, Cong Legislators Ask Manipur Governor to refer the bill to ‘Hill Areas Committee’ imphAl, September (mexN): The Zeliangrong Youth Front has strongly condemned the security forces for killing of 8 persons and inflicting serious critical injuries to several persons at Churachandpur district while holding a democratic protest against the passing of 3 Bills on August 31. In a press note, Titus Kamei president, ZYF stated the bill was passed with "procedural lapsed" in the one sided State Assembly and the “communal security forces" of Manipur never hesitated to "spray live bullets to tribal" people whenever tribal people expressed their discontentment in any issue which affects their rights and interest. The incident has once again exposed the government adopting two rule of laws “one for tribal people and another for non tribal” as "shooting with live bullets" for tribal people and "personnel of security forces to run away" from protesters when it comes to non tribal, ZYF maintained. There was procedural lapsed in the bills, ZYF argued, as it was passed despite the existence of provision of Article 371(C) of India Constitution for discussion by the Members of Hill Areas Committee, who are exclusive representatives regarding any matter relatthreat for the tribal people comes not from outside the state but the Meitei people from the valley itself. "The tribal people have made their opposition to the Meitei demands clear... the tribal people were never consulted by the 'Joint Committee' which have been spearheading the demands, nor the Manipur government which accepts them," it stated. "The tribal MLAs in the assembly, fearing for their lives, dared not oppose the bills when the they were in-
ing to tribal. “It was due to Congress Legislative Party (CLP) decision adopted prior to the actual passing of the Bill the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) too much eager to remain in power for the remaining period which is more than just one year by now has done irreparable damage to the social fabrics of Manipur” It also accused the Congress Legislators, particularly the tribal for having too much “loyalty to political party politics” creating complete turmoil and costing 8 precious lives with several critically injured. “They who are supposed to protect the rights and interest of the tribal people have participated and involved in the discrimination policy propagated in the State Assembly” ZYF alleged. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Hill Areas Committee and CLP in particular who are the Members of the “Hill Areas Committee” should have asked the Assembly to refer the proposed “Bills” to the “Hill Areas Committee” for discussion, but, all these procedures were overlooked without valid reason, it further maintained. The Governor of Manipur to give his assent to such “incomplete and procedural lasped Bills” would be inappropriate but must refer it to “Hill Areas Committee” for rediscussion which would eradicate confusion and overcome confidence deficit situation among the people, ZYF contended.
troduced and passed in the assembly." In the memorandum to the prime minister, the Manipur Tribal Students called for action against state security personnel involved in the killing of the agitators and withdrawal of Manipur Police commandos from the tribal areas. It also urged the prime minister to expeditiously act on the demands for a "separate administration" for the tribal areas of Manipur. "There is proof, if any more are needed, that the

hill tribals and the plain Meiteis cannot live together under one administration." Earlier on Wednesday, leaders of various tribes addressed hundreds of people who attended the protest rally in the national capital. "If you have a map, you will see the discrimination made against the tribal people in terms of infrastructure development in the state compared to the valley areas," Chinkhan Guite, a leader of the Paite tribe, said.
DimApur, September 2 (mexN): Arguing that the passing of the three “anti-tribal bills” by the Manipur Legislative Assembly on August 31 was a “highly divisive move” and passed without any consultation and discussion with the tribals, NEFIS today demanded that, “The bills should be withheld and immediately stopped from implementation.” The three bills were Protection of Manipur People Bill, 2015, Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (Seventh amendment) Bill, 2015 and Manipur Shops and Establishments (Second Amendment) Bill, 2015. In a press note issued by its media coordinator, Hem Chandra Brahma, North East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) said the repression by the state government on the tribal community is not only an attack on democratic values but it also reflects the their marginalization in the decision making. "No bill with an impact on the lives and condition of tribals should be passed without taking into confidence the common populace of hills." Calling for with wide ranging discussion on the issue it further argued, “The Protection of rights of tribal communities is the litmus test of democracy which the Manipur government has failed to pass till date.” NEFIS also condemned in strongest term the “merciless killing” of 8 people and injuring of many during the protest over the bill.
Apam of the Hmar Students Association called for the people to work for the restoration of their dignity. "The land in Manipur belongs to us," said Sasang Haokip of the Kuki Students Organisation.

Mizoram: Landslip at power substation may plunge state into darkness AizAwl, September 2 (eNS): A portion of land on which Mizoram’s largest electricity sub-station stands has sunk several feet, threatening to damage infrastructure and plunge upto three-fourths of the state in darkness in case a major landslip occurs. The 132 KV sub-station at Zuangtui, on the outskirts of Aizawl, feeds power to an area roughly spread over six and a half of Mizoram’s eight districts. “This substation feeds electricity to all parts of MizoramexcepttheHachhek hill range of Mamit district and Kolasib district (on the state’s northern region bordering Assam). In the worst case scenario, if the land sinks further and equipment is damaged, all these areas will be without electricity until the equipment is fixed, which could take months,” said Lal-

At the spot, an area the size of a volleyball court in the east of the campus has sunk two to three feet, with sections of several towers and equipment straddling the uneven terrain.An official said they have had to replace the wires
connecting these towers several times since the movement has made them taut and in danger of snapping. Workers have also spread waterproof sheets on the ground since incessant rains has soaked hilly Mizoram for months now, causing innumerable landslides that have blocked roads and damaged buildings.
bAkSA/GuwAhAti, September 2 (hiNDuStAN timeS): As the day breaks over a lush-green tea plantation in Assam’s Baska district, a group of men, women and children file into the neat rows of tea bushes for the early-morning plucking. It is a picture-postcard setting, and the murmur of the workers is only broken by the chirping of birds and the occasional shout by the leader to “hurry up”. Yet, the serenity is just a façade, hiding fault lines running beneath in the garden, and other tea plantations in lower Assam. Children have gone missing from the gardens, feared to have been lured by traffickers active in an economically-backward region. And the tea workers have turned out to be the most vulnerable to trafficking, according to activists and the government. In this garden alone, 25 children have gone missing over the past few years, deepening a crisis which has assumed staggering proportions in some other parts of the country. Official data show that on an average, nearly one lakh children go missing every year in the country, most of them suspected to be trafficked to big cities where they are forced into a lifetime of bonded labour or end up as prostitutes. This year alone, nearly 16,000 children were reported missing till April but only around 7,000 have been traced so far.In Assam, 9,500 children went missing from different places between 2007 and June 2014. Only 3,840 children have been recovered so far. Faced with a growing crisis, the state government recently joined hands with Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi’s NGO, Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), to create a corpus fund of Rs 2 crores for rehabilitation and welfare of trafficked children. Activists say that missing children from the tea estates make up a large chunk of the total figure of those who have vanished without a trace. And the menace is most tangible in the tea gardens of lower Assam and parts of West Bengal. Activists said that children of tea garden workers are vulnerable because of their economic condition. The wage for a full day’s work is just Rs 115, much below the daily minimum wage in the country, living conditions are poor and education facilities are almost non-existent. Traffickers weave grand tales of secure and steady income to the gullible parents of the children, the activists said adding that reports of missing children from neighbouring Udalguri, Lakhimpur and Sonitpur districts surface on a regular basis. Research by the BBA showed that in Lakhimpur alone, nearly 150 girls between 12-18 years of age have gone missing in the last two years. Traffickers keep changing the route of their operations and methods to lure young children.
