C M Y K

Mokokchung, February 11 (Mexn): The Longkhum Lanur Telongjem (LLT), with support from the Longkhum Watsu Telen, has decided to impose an indefinite blockade on all roadways passing through Longkhum village jurisdiction from February 14 onwards. LLT, in a letter to the Mokokchung Deputy Commissioner, informed that this move is being taken due to the lack of positive action with regard to the July 4, 2013 Dimapur murder case. LLT reminded the DC that it had issued notifications on January 15 and 16, setting January 31 as the deadline for the concerned administration to show positive action in the investigation of the case. Stating that ten days have lapsed since the deadline, it expressed regret at the lack of positive action and the apathy shown by the concerned administration and the government of Nagaland. LLT informed that ambulance service, media and law enforcement agency shall not fall under the ambit of the blockade. It further cautioned that the LLT would not be responsible for any untoward incident that may arise during the indefinite blockade.

cBi to probe death of nido

One more arrested; four charged with murder

new Delhi, February 11 (PTi): The home ministry on Tuesday ordered a CBI probe into the death of Arunachal Pradesh youth Nido Tania. Earlier on Tuesday, the Delhi Police told a court here that they have slapped the charge of murder against the four persons, one of whom was arrested this morning, in connection with the death of Nido. The police informed metropolitan magistrate Pawan Kumar that they booked accused Farman, Sunder, Pawan and Sunny Uppal under section 302 (murder) of IPC after the postmortem report

revealed that Nido Tania died due to injuries to his head and face caused by a blunt object. Thereafter, the police moved an application for their fresh custody and quiz them for some time after the court’s permission. The accused were once again produced before the magistrate, who remanded the four to judicial custody till February 25, after the police did not seek their custodial interrogation. Sunny was arrested this morning while Farman, Sunder and Pawan were arrested on February 4 and produced before the court which had remanded them to judicial custody. Initially, the police had arrested the accused under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST)(Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.

new Delhi, February 11 (ianS): The Delhi High Court on Tuesday expressed concern over security problems faced by people from the northeast living in the national capital, and asked the Arvind Kejriwal government to respond to the issue. A division bench of Chief Justice N.V. Ramana and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw asked the city government to apprise the court on the policies and action plan to deal with the issue. The court took suo motu cognizance of an incident where Nido Tania, son of Arunachal Pradesh Congress legislator Nido Pavitra, was allegedly beaten up by shopkeepers January 29 in south Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar market, following a row over his appearance and clothing. He died in hospital the next day. “Day after day, there are attacks on a particular section of the society. Have you looked into whether it is a deep-rooted conspiracy? What is the Delhi government’s stand on this issue? Almost 15 days have passed. Have you taken any step,” the court asked the Delhi government. “This is the responsibility of the state government to look into the issue. You (Delhi government) should come out with some action

Delhi High Court asks government about security for people from the North East

plan,” the bench said. The bench further asked the government to inform it on setting up new forensic labs, including reports about land, construction and infrastructure. The court also asked the government to consider setting up special hostels for working women from the northeast as they were facing problems with landlords. “Are you considering special hostels for working women as they are facing problems with landlords? What is the policy on this issue,” the bench asked government counsel Zubeda Begum. Appearing for Delhi Police, Additional Solicitor General Sidharth Luthra told the court that it has set up a Special Police Unit to deal with the problems faced by people from the northeast in the capital. Luthra also informed the court that police will set up a helpline service for the people within six weeks. Upmanyu Hazarika, appearing for a group of people from the northeast, said that when people from the region call at the

emergency number 100, the workers at the helpline do not understand the languages of the people from the northeast. He told the court that several incidents of violence have been taking place against people from the northeast in the city, and recalled a recent incident where two Manipuri men were attacked by a group of people. However, Luthra said police will increase patrol in areas where northeast people were living and ensured that “things will become more sensitised”. Meanwhile, the bench also asked the central government to consider if it was possible to “prohibit” people involved in racial attacks from getting government jobs. The court suggested that the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act could be expanded to include other communities from the northeast. Additional Solicitor General Rajeeve Mehra, appearing for the central government, told the court that a meet-

ing was held between the ministry for the development of north eastern region (DONER), Delhi Police commissioner and nodal officer of northeast on crimes against people from that region. He said the central government has decided to set up a support centre within a month at Chanakyapuri area, where professional counsellors will deal with issues faced by people from the northeast. The court was also informed that DONER ministry will write to the home secretary requesting it to issue necessary instruction to Uttar Pradesh and Haryana police to sensitise them about the issues related to people from the northeast, many of whom work and stay in the National Capital Region (NCR). Mehra also said DONER and Delhi Police will sensitise people from the northeast about their rights. “Whenever recruitment of Delhi Police is carried out, people from the northeast will be invited so that the number of police personnel from that region increases,” he said. Posting the matter for Wednesday, the court said it will pass an order on framing of final guidelines on the issue of violence against people from the northeast.

ncD paves way for AcAUt nagaland students demand justice

DiMaPur, February 11 (Mexn): The Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) has resolved to enable the formation of ACAUT Nagaland by “strengthening the ACAUT Movement,” and “allowing for every organization to join the movement and contribute to the greater Naga cause.” A press note from NCD President, T Bangerloba Ao informed that the house agreed to drop the term “Under the aegis of” as in “ACAUT under the aegis of Naga Council.” It also stressed on the need for every tribal organization in Nagaland to extend their unflinching support for the movement. In a special meeting

Extends support for ‘genuine Naga Businessmen’

held on February 8, the Naga Council decided that the ACAUT Movement should reach out to every corner of Nagaland, taking the confidence of every individual, organization and tribal HoHo in all the districts. This, it stated, must be done in order to bring the “One Government, One Tax” concept, adopted on the October 31, 2013 Public Rally, into fruition. The house then unanimously approved the nomination of Chingden Konyak as one of the VicePresidents of NCD, LL

Buming as the other Joint Secretary. Konyak was also nominated as the Naga Council’s representative to the ACAUT, who joins Finance Secretary, Joel Nillo Kath as the second member. It further demanded that rooms at the newly constructed shopping complex at Forest Colony, Dimapur be allotted only to genuine Naga businessmen. “Under no circumstances should illegal Bangladeshi immigrants (IBIs) be allotted rooms or allowed to run busi-

nesses in the complex,” it asserted. NCD urged the concerned department to solicit the help of the Business Association of Nagas (BAN) in order to identify genuine Naga businessmen. It asserted that the newly built complex should not face the same fate as the Super Market/ Naga Shopping Arcade. In this regard, NCD called upon the Forest Department to convene a consultative meeting with tribal bodies, NGOs and business frontal organizations like the CII, Naga Council, DCCI, BAN, CCCTA, NWHD, DNSU, GBs, DUCCCF, YAN, senior citizens, Entrepreneur Associates etc.

3rd North East person targeted within 15 days new Delhi, February 11 (ianS): A 22-yearold youth from Manipur was stabbed and robbed here early Tuesday, in the third incident of a person from the northeast being targeted in a fortnight. The incident was not “racially motivated”, police said. Khupsiangen was returning to his Paryavaran Complex home in south Delhi’s Mehrauli area from a church nearby when he was attacked around 3.30 a.m., barely 500 metres from his home. “This is a case of robbery and the attack was not racially motivated,” Delhi Police Deputy Commissioner B.S. Jaiswal

told IANS. Nido Tania, a student from Arunachal Pradesh, died Jan 30 after he was attacked a day earlier over his appearance. On Sunday, two youths from Manipur were beaten up by a group of motorbike riders. Khupsiangen was assaulted and robbed of his mobile phone and wallet by five men at knife-point. He sustained a one-cm deep and two-cm wide knife wound in his abdomen, he said. Jaiswal said Khupsiangen somehow managed to reach his C-77 flat after the incident where the building’s guard Prem found him bleeding and in-

formed his room partner over phone. “Khupsiangen’s room partner along with some of his other associates reached his house and they admitted the victim to Saket City hospital,” said Jaiswal. Hospital authorities informed police about the incident around 6.30 a.m. “He was rushed in a state of shock at 4 a.m. with a stab wound in the lower chest and abdomen. He was stabilised and taken up for emergency abdominal surgery which was performed successfully,” said a statement by Saket City hospital. “His vital parameters are being maintained and

the patient continues to be under intensive care monitoring,” it added. Police said the youth is an orphan and was staying in Delhi for the past four years in a rented accommodation with a friend. He works in an NGO in west Delhi’s Dwarka area. Jaiswal said that five police teams have been constituted to probe the case and over two dozen people have been detained till now. A case has been registered under sections 307 (attempt to murder), 394 (voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery) and 397 (robbery) of the Indian Penal Code.

Police arrest BBMS headmaster

Students, parents and guardians gather outside the school.

Morung Express news Dimapur | February 11

Thirteen students, who have not been able to appear the ongoing HSLC exam, which commenced Tuesday, have demanded for justice. The students, from Blooming Bud Montessori School (BBMS), Dimapur, have not been issued HSLC admit cards from their school authority. The proprietor cum headmaster of the school, Dilip Deb (48) has been running the school without affiliation from the Nagaland Board of School Education. He was arrested on Monday night by Dimapur police, after student organisations filed an FIR. On Tuesday morning, irate students damaged furniture inside the school and urged student leaders to find an alternative way for them to appear the exams, even at a later date, without having to lose the current academic year. Representatives from

the NSF, DNSU and DSSU met with the students, parents and guardians at the school. The student leaders appealed for patience and assured them that they would take up the matter till a logical conclusion is reached. Addressing media persons, DNSU President, K. Mhachio Lotha said that the union would not compromise on education at any cost. He informed that the accused headmaster had conducted Class 9 board exams last year, without affiliation with the NBSE. Lotha added that the accused conducted the exams one hour behind the given schedule, telling students that it was their study time. During that one hour, he would run around exam centres to somehow acquire the question paper and conduct exams at his school with xerox copies of the question papers, it was added. The DNSU president said that the headmaster had collected Rs 4000 as admission fee for Classes 8,

9 and 10. NSF Vice President, Joseph Nguori said that the Federation would see to it that proper action is taken against the headmaster and asserted that NSF would pursue the matter for the welfare of the affected students. NSF Finance Secretary, Shikavi stated that the issue would be pursued till the last and appealed for students, parents and guardians to be more vigilant in the future. Along with the 10th standard students, students in the 8th, 9th and 10th standard have also been affected. The accused has confessed that he was yet to get permission from the NBSE to run classes till the 8th standard. For the current academic year, there are 15 students in the 8th standard, 16 in the 9th standard and 23 in the 10th standard. The School has been shut down by the student organizations until further notice.
