Declare President’s Rule in Manipur
It is a shame for us Indians to see one of the state of North East India —Manipur is burning for the last 80 to 90 days. We have lost our name in the entire world. The whole world is watching us. Each and every channel of the world is covering the Manipur atrocities. Why is everybody silent? Why is the Prime Minister of the nation kept quiet for 77 days. People are observing and counting the days. Why is the President of the nation who also belongs to the tribal community and also a woman is not saying anything? Where has our women and child welfare minister disappeared? Why was internet banned in Manipur?

Was there a hidden plan to hide everything? From May 4 to July 19 when the video went viral what was the government of Manipur whose chief minister is also a Meitei doing? Inspite of one, the woman being the wife of an army personnel why were police in deep slumber? Were they waiting for the video to get viral? The whole world is laughing at us. It’s only when the honourable Supreme Court warned the state and central government to act saying it will interfere if the government does not, then only did the Prime minister make an statement that too of few seconds and some arrests have been made.
Why was there a complete silence for 77 days. Just because they belong to minority tribal Christian community. If this incident was to happen in any other state there would have been a President’s rule in the state within a week. The Centre should declare President’s Rule in Manipur or else only God can save Manipur.

After 77 days Manipur still on fire
After 77 days the state of Manipur is still on fire with many incidents of violence, gangrapes and firing amongst the two groups —Kuki and Meiti community. The Meiti community is now shifting to Mizoram and searching for shelter and peaceful living. Chuchandpur is the area where most of the incidents taken place where houses were burnt and bullets fired from AK47 . The government has not come to any consensus to stop the violence. The women of Kuki community have taken charge to provide security by checking all entering the areas and building bunkers to proved safety . The May 4 incident of the viral video has shocked the country where three women were disrobed and two escaped from being raped. However two women from the Kuki community were paraded naked on the roads. This incident has worsened the situation by filing FIR against those culprits and also arrests have taken place.
Goa too has shown it’s solidarity against the shameful incident by a woman shaving her head in the capital city. The worst act by Meiti community against Kukis is raping and parading then disrobed on the streets. The video which went viral after almost 77 days is taken cognisance by police and has arrested few who were found guilty in this act. The fear in the mind of the community has forced them to leave the state for their survival. The government should take strict action and put an end to violence in the state.

Biased reporting
We really can’t swallow the fact what happened to two of our sisters in Manipur on May 4, which was hidden due to internet facility being blocked. One shameless BJP-inclined woman reporter in the interview is questioning as to why they delayed to file the FIR. Maybe BJP greases her palms to get so low, that she is not even ashamed of herself. Maybe, because all her cronies and those in the ruling are themselves alleged arsonists. God preserve the destiny of our nation!

Need for urgent fogging of edu institutions
Our students have to take care of their health so that their studies are not affected. It is the policy of the central and state government to make children study well and contribute to the development of the country.
Parents are requesting that the Goa Health Department do fogging in schools and college premises to prevent mosquito infestation.
Mosquito infestation has become a serious concern, which seriously deteriorates the health status of students every year. So it is necessary to be careful from mosquito breeding and fogging is one option that should by undertaken by the government. The health department needs to ensure that fogging is done properly to curb the cases of dengue and malaria that occur in the state every year during the monsoon.
So prevention is better than cure, as we all know. So why delay? Fogging is the need of the hour.

I N D I A vs NDA battle for 2024 elections
Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I N D I A) a grouping of 26 opposition parties, will do battle with the NDA for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections with singular focus on fighting against Narendra Modi and his ideology. The opposition alliance is called (I N D I A). The NDA coalition is a grouping of 38 political parties. The UPA had to disband itself and acquire a new identity. But it is unfortunate that the parties are misusing the name of the country as INDIA for a political outfit. There are too many PM aspirants in the opposition alliance, but they should remember that only one PM’s post is permitted as our Constitution. The faceless coalition having assemblage of highly ambitious leaders will be a disaster. The significant developments in Indian politics will definitely have impact on the 2024 Lok Sabha election. But politics is never a one-horse race for ever. Voters choose a stable government with a strong, decisive leadership. Good governance is the key to a country’s prosperity and progress.
