Assam’s Kamrup Metropolitan District Bans Unplanned Earth Cutting and Filling Until October 31

1. Prohibition targets hilly terrains, water bodies, and low-lying areas.
2. Aims to prevent landslides, artificial floods, and persistent waterlogging.
3. Addresses historical issues causing significant loss of life and property.

Kamrup, May 19: In a decisive move to mitigate the risks associated with the monsoon season, the Deputy Commissioner of Kamrup Metropolitan District issued an order on May 18, banning unscientific and haphazard earth cutting and filling activities from May 1 to October 31, 2024.

This prohibition targets operations in hilly terrains, water bodies, and low-lying areas, aiming to prevent the occurrence of landslides, artificial floods, and persistent waterlogging that have historically led to significant loss of life and property.

District Commissioner Sumit Sattawan underscored the inherent dangers of unplanned construction activities in the issued order.

Sattawan highlighted that unscientific and erratic earth cutting destabilizes natural earth slopes, obstructs drainage systems, and instigates severe landslides and artificial floods.

These practices not only degrade the environment but also disrupt the ecological balance within the district.

To enforce this prohibition effectively, all pertinent departments and enforcement agencies have been directed to ensure strict compliance.

These entities include Revenue Circle Officers, District Police, Forest Departments, Public Works Department (PWD), Transport Department, Soil Conservation Department, and regulatory bodies such as the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) and the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).

Commissioner Sattawan’s directive was explicit: “No earth cutting should be allowed until the monsoon season is over, regardless of existing permissions.”

Additionally, the order stipulates a ban on the transportation of earth obtained from hill cutting activities.

The directive also necessitates a thorough review and the immediate cancellation of any existing permissions granted for earth cutting and filling in vulnerable areas.

Sattawan instructed that “All permissions in the most vulnerable areas prone to landslides and flash floods must be reviewed and cancelled forthwith.”

This measure aims to safeguard these regions from the potential catastrophic impacts of unplanned construction activities during the monsoon.

Historically, the Kamrup Metropolitan District has faced significant challenges during the monsoon season. Unplanned earth cutting and filling have led to destabilized slopes and obstructed drainage systems, resulting in frequent landslides and flooding.

These incidents have caused substantial damage to property and posed severe risks to human life. The new order aims to address these issues by imposing stricter controls on earth cutting and filling activities, ensuring that such operations are conducted in a scientifically sound and environmentally sustainable manner.

Enforcement agencies are expected to carry out regular inspections and impose penalties on violators to ensure adherence to the ban.

The district administration’s proactive stance is intended to avert the adverse effects of the monsoon season and protect the district’s residents and infrastructure.

The Kamrup Metropolitan District’s new directive reflects a comprehensive approach to environmental conservation and public safety.

By curbing unplanned earth cutting and filling activities, the district aims to prevent environmental degradation and enhance resilience against natural disasters, ultimately promoting sustainable development and ecological balance.

Safety Concerns Keep Sikkim’s Prime Attraction Gurudongmar Lake Inaccessible

1. Gurudongmar Lake, a prime tourist spot in Sikkim, is closed due to safety reasons.
2. Ongoing concerns stem from a recent Glacial Lake Outburst Flood incident.
3. Despite its stunning beauty, tourists are currently unable to visit Gurudongmar Lake.

Gangtok, May 18: Tourists flocking to Sikkim this season find themselves unable to visit the state’s renowned attraction, Gurudongmar Lake, due to ongoing safety concerns.

The picturesque high-altitude lake, known for its breathtaking beauty, remains inaccessible following a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) incident.

Lachung and Lachen, typically bustling with activity during peak tourist seasons, have seen a notable absence of visitors this year. While Lachung and its surrounding areas have welcomed tourists, Lachen, and particularly Gurudongmar Lake, have remained devoid of visitors.

Despite over 4 lakh tourists visiting Sikkim since January, with a significant portion arriving in the first quarter alone, the route to Lachen and Gurudongmar Lake remains closed. The continued risk of landslides along the scenic route has necessitated this closure.

District Commissioner of Mangan, Hem Kumar Chettri, elaborated on the situation, stating that tourists are currently restricted from accessing Lachen areas due to safety concerns. Efforts are underway to reopen the road; however, the fragile terrain and frequent landslides have caused delays.

The Tourism and Civil Aviation Department reported significant disruptions in tourist activities following the GLOF incident on May 10.

The event, which caused extensive damage across the state, resulted in a notable decline in tourist arrivals, adversely affecting Sikkim’s tourism-dependent economy.

Data from the Tourism and Civil Aviation Department illustrates the impact of the GLOF on tourist inflow.

Domestic tourist arrivals plummeted to 41,905 in October 2023, down from 100,174 in September of the same year. Similarly, foreign tourist arrivals saw a significant decrease, with only 3,744 recorded in October compared to 5,912 in the previous month.

The GLOF in October 2023 caused widespread devastation in Sikkim, triggering flooding in various districts, including Mangan, Gangtok, Pakyong, and Namchi.

The breach of the Chungthang Hydro-Dam on the Teesta River exacerbated the situation, posing significant challenges to the region’s infrastructure and economy.

1. Families from North Tripura seek attention by spending nights in the Peku Cherra forest.
2. Plight of landlessness drives families to forest areas for government notice.
3. Residents of North Tripura highlight landlessness by camping in the Peku Cherra forest.

Agartala, May 18: Dozens of families from various parts of North Tripura district have taken to spending their nights in the forest areas of Peku Cherra, located in the Panisagar subdivision of the district.

Their purpose is to draw the government’s attention to their plight of being landless.

These families claim to have had homes built on government lands, leaving them vulnerable to eviction at any time. They seek permanent settlement through individual land titles issued by the Tripura government.

In pursuit of a lasting solution to their housing insecurity, these families have relocated to the forest areas, erecting makeshift huts using tarpaulin sheets and bamboo.

While they are uncertain about the outcome of their unconventional protest, they view it as a means to make their grievances heard by the government.

Among these families, Kartik Nama recounts how his house in the Jayashree area was situated on land recently allocated for the construction of a police station.

Despite being a beneficiary of the PM Awas Yojana, Nama faces the prospect of losing his newly constructed dwelling due to the government’s efforts to reclaim the land.

Krishna Nath, another resident, reveals that his family sought refuge in the forest area to escape ethnic tensions arising from the settlement of displaced Brus in their neighborhood. Lacking legal ownership of their previous land, Nath’s family hopes for a resolution from the government.

A delegation from the opposition CPIM party, led by two MLAs, visited the forest area to engage with the affected families. While some families have returned home, others await a resolution to their predicament.

Chief Minister Manik Saha acknowledged the issue, emphasizing that while there are no provisions for human settlement in reserve forest areas, the government would consider the matter on humanitarian grounds.

Nagaland: Angami Students Union Directs Members to Refuse Aid from Indian Army

1. Angami Students’ Union (ASU) reaffirms no cooperation with Indian armed forces.
2. ASU opposes the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) of 1958.
3. ASU condemns AFSPA as a draconian measure imposed on their homeland.

Kohima, May 18: In alignment with the directive from the Naga Students’ Federation, the Angami Students’ Union (ASU) has reiterated its firm stance against extending any form of cooperation to the Indian armed or paramilitary forces.

This decision reinforces the Union’s long-standing opposition to the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) of 1958, which they vehemently condemn as a draconian measure imposed on their homeland.

The ASU’s opposition to AFSPA is rooted in the belief that the Act has led to significant suffering and human rights violations against the Naga people. They characterize the actions of the Indian armed forces under AFSPA as cowardly and highlight the torment endured by innocent Nagas over decades. The Union asserts that the peace-loving Naga community continues to live in tranquility despite the longstanding suffering inflicted by the Indian armed forces.

In a strong demand directed at the Union Government, the Angami Students’ Union has called for the immediate repeal of AFSPA. They further urged the apex court to restore the human rights of the Nagas by abolishing the Act.

The ASU emphasized the need for the government to recognize and address the grievances of the Naga people by ending what they see as an oppressive law.

The Union has issued clear directives to its units, emphasizing strict adherence:

  1. No individual or union under Angami jurisdiction is to accept any form of aid from the Indian armed forces.
  2. No individual or union shall invite the Indian armed forces to any event organized within its jurisdiction, nor participate in any official events of the armed forces.

These directives are part of a broader effort to ensure that the Naga people remain united in their stance against AFSPA and the perceived injustices carried out under its provisions.

The ASU has also cautioned all Indian armed forces stationed in Angami-inhabited areas to refrain from actions that could provoke situations contrary to the issued directive.

This warning is intended to prevent any escalation of tensions and to ensure that the directives are respected by all parties involved.

The ASU declared its intention to mobilize all its networks to ensure strict compliance with the resolutions set forth by both the Naga Students’ Federation and the Angami Students’ Union.

This mobilization includes preventing any violations by individuals, groups, or armed forces. The Union’s efforts are aimed at fostering a sense of solidarity among the Naga people and reinforcing their collective demand for the repeal of AFSPA and the restoration of their human rights.

Overall, the Angami Students’ Union’s directives and statements reflect a deep-seated commitment to the welfare and rights of the Naga people.

Their unwavering stance against AFSPA and their proactive measures to prevent cooperation with the Indian armed forces underscore their dedication to achieving justice and peace for their community.

Himanta Biswa Sarma: “Want Reservations for Muslims? Go to Pakistan”

1. During a rally in Siwan, Bihar, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma opposed reservations for Muslims.
2. Sarma’s comments were in response to politicians advocating for religion-based reservations.
3. His remarks sparked a heated debate on the issue.

Guwahati, May 18: During a public rally in Siwan, Bihar, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made emphatic remarks opposing the idea of providing reservations to Muslims in India.

Sarma’s statements came in response to suggestions from some politicians advocating for reservations based on religion, sparking a heated debate on the issue.

In his address, Sarma said, “If you want to give reservations to Muslims, then go to Pakistan and give reservations there. It will never happen in India.”

This comment was aimed at underscoring his firm stance against religious-based reservations, which he believes contradict the principles laid out in the Indian Constitution.

Sarma emphasized the constitutional provisions for reservations, saying, “Babasaheb Ambedkar gave us the Constitution. In the Constitution, it is mentioned that Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) should get the reservations.”

His assertion highlights that the Indian Constitution specifically designates these categories for affirmative action policies, without including religion as a criterion for reservation.

The Assam Chief Minister criticized specific instances where reservations for Muslims were implemented, pointing to Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh as examples.

He alleged that such measures were executed at the expense of other backward classes, thus creating a sense of injustice among those who were originally intended to benefit from reservations.

“In Karnataka, the decision to grant reservations to Muslims was made after robbing the reservations of backward classes,” Sarma stated, expressing his disapproval of the policy shifts in these states.

Sarma’s remarks reflect broader concerns among some political factions in India regarding the allocation of reservations based on religious identity.

They argue that such policies could undermine the merit-based and constitutionally mandated framework for reservations.

Sarma’s reference to Pakistan was likely intended to draw a sharp distinction between India’s secular policies and the religious-based governance of its neighbor, emphasizing his view that India should not adopt similar measures.

The rally in Siwan saw Sarma articulating his vision for maintaining the integrity of India’s reservation system as defined by the Constitution. His comments are part of a larger narrative within Indian politics, where the debate over reservations and affirmative action continues to be a contentious issue.

The mention of Babasaheb Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, underscores the reliance on constitutional principles in framing policies related to social justice and affirmative action.

Sarma’s speech in Bihar is expected to resonate with a segment of the electorate that supports maintaining the current reservation framework.

It also reflects the ongoing political strategy of using reservations as a significant talking point in public discourse, especially in the context of upcoming elections.

As this debate unfolds, it is likely to provoke further discussion on how best to balance the needs for social equity and constitutional adherence in India’s diverse society.

On the same day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will hold his first campaign rally at the Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha constituency, marking a significant day in the run-up to the elections, as all seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi are slated for polls on May 25.

Preparations for the PM’s Rally

Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Virendra Sachdeva, along with North East Delhi candidate Manoj Tiwari and other party leaders, visited the rally site on Friday evening to review preparations.

Sachdeva expressed confidence in the rally’s success, emphasizing the historic nature of the event and the enthusiasm of party workers.

He predicted a large turnout, underscoring the excitement surrounding PM Modi’s visit.

“The PM is coming to guide us in North East Delhi, and it is a matter of pride for our region. People are very excited to see and hear him up close,” said Tiwari.

Security Arrangements for PM Modi’s Rally

To ensure the safety of the Prime Minister and manage the large crowds, a robust security plan has been put in place.

According to two police officers familiar with the arrangements, a four-layer security cordon will be established, comprising the Special Protection Group (SPG), the security wing of the Delhi Police, and local police units.

More than 2,000 security and traffic personnel will be deployed around the venue to maintain order and prevent any untoward incidents.

Pre-rally security measures include scanning the venue and surrounding areas, with final inspections by sniffer dogs, bomb detection, and disposal squads scheduled for Saturday before the rally begins.

The SPG commandos will provide the innermost layer of security, while the Delhi Police’s PM security wing will form the second layer.

The outer two layers of security will be managed by personnel from the city police and armed paramilitary forces.

Delhi Police Chief Sanjay Arora held a meeting with senior officers on Friday to review the security preparations.

The officers confirmed that PM Modi would arrive at the rally venue by helicopter, directly after attending an election rally in Sonepat, Haryana.

Impact on the Political Landscape

These rallies by PM Modi and Rahul Gandhi mark a critical phase in the election campaigns for their respective parties.

The simultaneous rallies in different parts of Delhi reflect the high stakes and intense efforts by both the BJP and Congress to secure voter support.

PM Modi’s address is expected to bolster the BJP’s campaign momentum, particularly in North East Delhi, a constituency where Manoj Tiwari is vying for a third term.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi’s rally aims to rejuvenate the Congress base and attract undecided voters in Chandni Chowk.

With comprehensive security measures in place, both rallies are anticipated to proceed smoothly, providing a platform for the leaders to articulate their visions and appeal to the electorate.
