BANGLA PERMIT 

A  controversy  has   cropped  up,  when  Chief  Minister  Conrad  Sangma  has  come  up  with  an  idea  of  issuing  ‘work  permit’  for  citizens  of  neighbouring  Bangladesh,  which  is  somewhat  a  contrast   to the  demand  of  the  inner-line-permit,  restricting  people  to  come  into  the  state.  Conrad  has  caught  up  with  the  idea  that  countries  like  the  United  States, United  Kingdom, Dubai,   people  from  India  can  enter,  work  but  cannot  stay  or  become a  citizen.  This  has  however  become  a  tricky  question,  where  even  check-gates  along  national  highways  passing  through  the  state  have  failed  to  check  actual  illegal  infiltration. The  result  of  ‘work  permits’, would  open  a  flood  gate  of  ‘work  permit’  seekers,  who  would  melt  themselves  with  the  local  population, thus  creating  another  problem  of  citizenship  identification.  During  the  budget  session,  the  opposition  Congress  had  staged  a  walk  out,  being  the  first  time  in  the  new  assembly over  the  issue.

ORPHAN ROADS

In  the  face  of  the  Centre’s  decision    for  initiation  of  “orphan  roads”,  the  State  Government  has   failed   to  implement  ten  major  road  projects    in  state  and  national  highways,  though  these  roads  were  in  a  planning  process  for  a  long  time,  this  is  the  report  of  the  National  Highway  Infrastructure  Development  Corporation  Limited.  612  kilometers  of  roads   are just  lying  without  any  work  done,  a  wastage  of  Rs.  8,820 crore. Now  that  the  “open  road”  scheme  is  in  the  offing  for  developing  roads  between  two  states  of  the  North  Eastern  Region, the  Meghalaya  Government   should  not  lack  behind  in  taking  the  opportunity  to  be  part  of  this 1,000 crore  scheme  for  the  North  East.

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s stupendous performance in Meghalaya and Nagaland, especially its astounding victory in Tripura has been received with mixed reactions in Tamil Nadu. The ruling AIADMK in the State is immensely pleased over the outcome, as the insiders in the party point out that the strong BJP at the Centre would provide them an opportunity to survive, if not accelerate, at least till the next Lok Sabha elections slated for next year.

Rasong village falls under the Mawkynrew Tehsil of East Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya. It is situated in a valley of some 500 metres below the beautiful canyon of Laitlum Village. It is 25 km away from sub-district headquarter Mawkynrew and 32 Km away from district headquarter Shillong. Mawkynrew is the nearest town to the village and Laitlum canyon is the nearest motorable village. The only way to reach the village is a rocky pavement which is about 1 Km long.

Pradipkumar was like any other teenager of his age in 2000. He dreamt of a successful life, a plum job, fast cars, beautiful wife and many kids but his rosy dream came crashing down when he was diagnosed with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) when he was admitted at the Regional Institute of Medical Science, Imphal, suffering from bouts of shivering fever that refused to go away.
