When the earth quakes, the primal fear that shakes you arises out of your feeling that the Doomsday has come. This psychosis of fear lasts for days, sometimes years, even after the earth settles down to its calm. No wonder, the Mizoram Government just sought the help of psychologists to dispel the fear-spells of hundreds of people living in some villages including Khawbung, Saitual, Siaha, Serchhi and Zokhawthar that rocked recently.

In fact, the people suffered from terrible trauma of psychic nature due to massive seismic disturbances in the tragic Assam quake of 1950 that took a toll of over 2500 people. Known as the Assam-Tibetan Plateau earthquake, the total toll was over 4300 including the Tibetan part.

A maverick lady officer of the Manipur Police Service, who was recently stripped of her charge as the Additional SP of Narcotics and Affairs of Border (NAB), alleged that Manipur Chief Minister, Nongthombam Biren, pressurized her to release Lhukhosei Zou, a man accused of being a drugs kingpin. Zou was arrested with a huge consignment of contraband narcotic substance in 2018 after the Chief Minister himself personally authorized the arrest. 

Zou, an elected BJP representative to the Autonomous District Council, ADC, of Chandel, was then serving as the Chairman of the ADC Chandel, a powerful post equivalent to the CM in the district level.
