Dima Halom Daogah factions set to fight for control over new council

GUWAHATI: Monday's tripartite agreement among the two factions of the Dima Halom Daogah (DHD) — DHD (Nunisa) and DHD (Jewel) — the Centre and the state governmentis aimed at bringing back peace in the troubled hill district of Dima Hasao. But security agencies think the rivalry between the two factions, which has been one of the causes of bloodshed, is unlikely to subside.

"The rivalry will not go away. The two factions will now be fighting each other to take control of the autonomous council," a source said.

Security agencies are also critical of militant outfits like DHD (Jewel) — which has been charged by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the CBI of siphoning off development funds to buy weapons and stage war against the country — now seeking general amnesty by signing peace accords. "Peace talks are an effective way for militants to getting out of legal entanglements and this has been the case with many militant outfits in peace process," the source added.

Security agencies also pointed out that a third factor that has a major stake in maintaining peace in the hill district. "One-third of the population of Dima Hasao district comprises non-Dimasa tribal groups, which include Nagas, Kukis and Hmars, principally. All these groups owe allegiance to different militant groups like NSCN, Kuki and Hmar outfits. The memorandum of settlement (MoS) provides for equal benefits to the non-Dimasa tribal groups," the source said.

In the past, the district has seen several bloody ethnic clashes between the various tribal groups residing here. Considering the delicate situation in the district, the MoS has made adequate provisions to keep all sides well balanced.

According to the MoS signed with both the DHD factions, the Rs 200-cr economic package announced will benefit all the communities in the district while increase in the strength of the territorial council will ensure suitable representation of all sections. Besides, the provision for setting up village-level councils for devolution of powers to the grassroots will benefit the non-Dimasa tribals as much as the Dimasas. The MoS specifically states that the heritage sites of non-Dimasa indigenous tribals are to be preserved and maintained.

Govt to draw district units

Santanu Ghosh

Silchar, October 9, 2012: Delhi and both the DHD factions have entrusted Dispur with the task of dividing Dima Hasao district into three administrative units.

Talking to The Telegraph from New Delhi last night, Dilip Nunisa, chairman of one of the factions of Dima Halam Daogah (DHD), said the objective of dividing Dima Hasao, which covers 4,880 square km, into three administrative units was to ensure that both hills and plains people get “equal share of opportunities and development” and all the communities living in the district get better representation. At present, the district has two subdivisions, Halflong and Maibong.

Earlier in the day, the two DHD factions, led by Nunisa and Jewel Gorlosa, had signed a tripartite memorandum of settlement with the Centre and the Assam government. The two factions will be disbanded soon.

Nunisa, who is expected to return to Haflong, the district headquarters, tomorrow, said the accord would mark the end of insurgency that had wracked the area since 1993. He guaranteed the more than two lakh people living in the district a new era of peace and development without any discrimination towards any community.

Haflong witnessed subdued celebrations after news of signing of the accord reached the town as a curfew had been clamped on it as a precautionary measure at 1am yesterday. It was lifted at 8am today.

Observers of Dimasa insurgency said the minority ethnic communities in the district like Hmar, Kuki and Jeme Naga should now join the mainstream as they had been promised their own administrative unit under the framework of the Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council, the new name for Dima Hasao Autonomous Council.

The Barman and Hojai communities, offshoots of Dimasa tribal community, living respectively in Cachar and Nagaon districts, who had demanded that their areas on the fringes of these districts be merged with Dima Hasao areas, can also be at peace as there will be separate development councils, funded by Dima Hasao territorial council, for their areas.

Nunisa said he would visit Khaspur village in Cachar district this week to pay homage to the last Dimasa king whose kingdom’s ruins are located there.

Khaspur, on the foothills of Barail range, was the last Dimasa kingdom which was annexed to the British empire in 1832 after the assassination of the last Dimasa king Maharaja Govinda Chandra Narayan in 1830.

DHD peace agreement signed

~Kalyan Barooah

New Delhi, October 8, 2012: Amidst escalating tensions in Dima Hasao district, the Centre and the Assam Government sealed a pact with both factions of the DHD, seeking to end eight years of conflicts in the hill district that had stalled several major infrastructure projects passing through the area.

The formal Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) signing ceremony held at North Block was attended by Union Home Minister, Sushil Kumar Shinde, Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi, Centre’s interlocutor, PC Haldar, Union Home Secretary, RK Singh, State Chief Secretary, Naba Kumar Das, DGP, JN Choudhury, besides top leaders of rival factions of DHD.

The most significant moment came, when Dilip Nunisa tried to reach out to the rival faction by honouring Jewel Garlossa with a traditional scarf.

The hour-long signing ceremony was also attended by about 40 representatives of various tribal and non-tribal groups, village headmen brought by the DHD (N) faction. The MoS was signed by Nunisa and Garlossa on behalf of DHD and Joint Secretary (North-East), Shambhu Singh and Principal Secretary Home and Political, Shri Sailesh on behalf of the State Government.

The MoS has come after protracted negotiations that included a political and economic package worth Rs 200 crore. The demand for inclusion of additional 94 villages spread over adjoining districts was rejected. The demand for withdrawal of cases particularly those involving heinous crimes was not accepted either. Top leaders of the Black Widow faction including Garlossa and Niranjan Hojai have been charged by National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) for heinous crimes.

Hailing the signing of the MoS, his first with any militant outfit, Shinde described it as a golden day, welcoming the two outfits. He said that Government of India wants to engage with any group that abjures violence and decides to come for peace negotiations. “I urge all such groups to give up violence and come for settlement with Government of India,” Shinde said.

An official spokesman of the Home Ministry said that the MoS provides for enhanced autonomy for the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHAC), which has been rechristened as Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council (DHATC) and also a special package for speedier socio-economic and educational development of the area, for which the council has been set up.

Under the MoS, a committee would be constituted to deal with matters relating to the Sixth Schedule councils. The DHD shall dissolve itself as an organisation within a reasonable time (six months) as a precursor to the Government initiating further process to implement the agreed decisions of the agreement.

A special economic package of Rs 200 crore (Rs 40 crore per annum) over and above the Plan fund over the next five years will be provided to the DHATC to undertake special projects. Thirty-nine subjects will be transferred to the council under para 3A of the 6th Schedule of the Constitution, conferring legislative powers.

The State Government has agreed in principle to set up a development council with a suitable package for preservation and promotion of culture and language.

The economic package of Rs 200 crore would benefit all communities including the non-tribals. The increase in the strength of the territorial council will ensure suitable representation to all communities. Besides, the provision for setting up village level councils for devolution of powers to the grassroots will benefit the non-Dimasa tribals, as much as the Dimasa tribals. The MoS specifically states that the heritage sites of non-Dimasa indigenous tribals are to be preserved and maintained, said the spokesman.

Earlier, addressing the meeting, Jewel Garlossa, who mostly kept to himself, describing the signing of the MoS as a historic moment, said that they have realised that violence would not bring any solution to their problems. The signing of the MoS is a beginning of a process and every tomorrow would be a better tomorrow. The signing of MoS would bring new vistas in the path of prosperity and development, he said.

Garlossa in his speech though flagged out several issues reiterating the demand for rehabilitation of their cadres, withdrawal of cases lodged against both the factions and people associated with the movement and those lodged by NIA and ED.

Addressing the meeting, Dilip Nunisa urged the Home Minister to sympathetically consider the demand for a nursing college and a government law college in Dima Hasao district.

Describing the Chief Minister as a hero of not only the Ahom community but also the Dima Hasao community, Nunisa said that they are confident of solving the problems through further decentralisation of power.

Describing the ongoing unrest as unfortunate, Nunisa said they have demanded three additional satellite autonomous councils for the non-Dimasa communities living in the area. “We wish to assure all communities irrespective of religion, caste and creed that we respect all and want to ensure peace,” he said.

Earlier, sharing his experience, Haldar told the meeting that though they began the peace process with initial reservations, things later fell in line. He recalled that the most challenging task was to bring both the rival factions together. “However, we could manage to persuade both the factions to sit together,” he said.

Signing of A Tripartite MoS Among Central Government, Govt. of Assam and Factions of DIMA Halam Daogah 

A Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) with both factions of Dima Halam Daogah (DHD) was signed today at New Delhi by Shri Shambhu Singh, Joint Secretary (NE), MHA, Shri Sailesh, Principal Secretary, Home & Political, Govt. of Assam and the Representatives of DHD(J) and DHD(N).

After realizing the futility of violence, both the factions of DHD came forward and expressed their willingness to give up violence and seek solutions to its problems peacefully within the framework of the Constitution. The MoS provides for enhanced autonomy for the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council in Assam and also a special package for speedier socio-economic and educational development of the area for which the Council has been set up.

Under the Memorandum of Settlement, a Committee will be constituted to deal with the matters relating to the 6th Schedule Councils.

A Special economic package of Rs 200 Crore (Rs. 40 crore per annum) over and above the Plan fund over the next five years will be provided to the DHATC to undertake special projects by the Council.

The economic package of Rs. 200 crores will benefit all communities including the non-tribals.

Operation launched in Haflong after blasts

Guwahati: Suspected militants triggered two back-to-back blasts in Haflong town of Assam Sunday evening, forcing the police and security forces to launch a combing operation.

No one was, however, injured during the blasts and there is no report of any major damage caused by the blasts, police said.

Haflong, the district headquarters of Dima Hasao district, is located about 300 km from Assam's main city, Guwahati.

"The first blast took place at around 5.55 p.m. near Synod Gallery in the heart of the town. The second blast took place around 6.25 p.m. near the Sarkari Bagan area," Assam's IGP (Law and Order) L.R. Bishnoi said adding some kinds of crude bombs had been used to trigger the blasts.

"It is difficult to name anyone as being behind the blasts today. But it is aimed at derailing the proposed peace process between the two factions of Dimasa militant outfit Dima Halam Daogah and the government of India," he said.

The two factions of the militant outfit - one led by Dilip Nunisa and the other led by Jewel Garlosa, known as DHD (J) - are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the representatives of the state and central governments in New Delhi Monday. The MoU will lead to the formation of a new territorial autonomous council in Dima Hasao.

On Friday last, police recovered a grenade from the town and suspected militants sprayed bullets at the Agartala-bound Agartala Express at a small station near Haflong.

While the state and central government are going ahead with the signing of the MoU Monday, the indigenous non-Dimasa communities of the district like the Kukis, Hmars, Jeme Nagas, Wrangkhols, Baites and others are still opposing the move.

Several organizations of these communities - Indigenous Peoples' Forum (IPF), the Indigenous Students' Forum (ISF) and others have not only opposed the signing of the MoU but also threatened massive movements if areas inhabited by non-Dimasa communities are included under the purview of the new territorial autonomous council.

MESMERIZING BUNGKHAWPUI

~Muona Infimate



At first sight, the  mist-clad village can be mistaken for Ooty, if not Shimla,or it can be mistaken to somewhere in the Kashmir Valley.Bungkhawpui is a unique village unmatched by another in the entire region.The village has its own brand of beauty and mesmerizes you every time you set foot in it. It’s a village of great scenic beauty with undulating river, gurgling mountain streams and picturesque mountains. It is said that Mother Nature has been extra generous in her. It is indeed a village of exquisite natural beauty and splendour.

Parbung

The village is believed to have been first inhabitated by Langrongs,Darlong,chiru,Keipeng and Anals in circa 1400 A.D. Pu Ngamneisang set up the village in 1987.Literally, the name of the village has been derived from the two words-PAR(flower) and BUNG(base). Parbung, one of the cleanest villages in Manipur’s Churachandpur district, is situated in the south western corner of the state, bound by Vangai range in the west, Pherzawl and Talan on the east, and Taithu on the north, and shares a boundary with Lungthulien in the south. The village is also the sub-divisional headquarter of Tipaimukh.This beautiful village is located about 226 kms away from Manipur’s capital Imphal and the national highway 150 runs through it.

Parbung, popularly known as Bungkhawpui is skirted by mosaic landscape and majestic hills like Lunglen tlang, Sabutlang, Sangharkhawthlir-tlang and Parbung sip-tlang.Being bounded by important rivers Barrak and Suorkawi on the west, and Tuibum in the east, you can take an introspective walk to the river and forest beyond. You can also study the flora and fauna and go fishing using the village’s traditional kit. And if I am to chose one among those rivers.I would chose Suorkawi because;Suorkawi is a seductive,playful,romantic and sensous river. She is also moody and tempestuous. But you have to persue her with passion and persistence to know her better.

The village also host a variety of natural waterfalls. Several places in Bungkhawpui resonate with the sound of thundering waterfalls spraying its surrounding with a delicate mist of water. In Bungkhawpui, you can’t miss the Vawmpate falls or the Sumrisang falls. It’s a must for all.

If you yearn for some peace amidst the hills and caves. Then, Bungkhawpui should be your next destination. Bat killing has always been a source of merriment for the villagers.Hundred of villagers with burning torches, bamboo poles in their hands swarm into a natural cave at Bakkuo-muol to kill over a thousand bats. They hunt bats mainly for their meat. The cave is located near the left bank of the Barrak River. It’s about 5 kms away from the village and has two holes. The upper hole measures about 7 metres in height and around 5 kms in breadth and is about 70 kms in depth.”There’s no word that can describe how beautiful it is.It’s another world.It’s truly amazing”,gushes R.Thangvel.But till today, the height, breadth and depth of the lower hole remains unknown.”The lower hole is shrouded in mystrery.No one dared to go inside.It is endless and it’s very challenging”, R.Thangvel said.So, step out of your comfort zone and discover the secrets of the wild at Parbung village.For a bat meat lovers,a trip to Bungkhawpui is a must.

Before we set off to explore the surrounding areas.Pu Hmingsang and Pu R.Thangvel meet me here at the middle of the village and they straightaway whisked me off on an hour long trek towards the long bursting Parbung Sip-tlang. It’s a walk filled with sweats, wheezing sounds, breathtaking views and quaint anecdotes. From the multitude of points, one can see different facets of nature coexisting with the village. We could hear the cries of exotic birds echoing over the vast expenses of forest. The route is scenic and as we move on we were greeted by a host of chirpy birds flying majestically around us. We just could not stop mid-way. What a magnificent view await us at the end of the climb! We were simply mesmerized. Pu R.Thangvel told me how the village came to be called Parbung.”Parbung Sip-tlang was once blessed with many known and unknown orchids. When they bloom the entire hillock looks reddish, and it was so charming that it captivates the eyes of the distant viewers and, the villagers called the flowering of the beautiful red orchids as ‘Parsenbung’ which then morphed into Parbung”, says R.Thangvel. But on the way down it started raining but we were full of the enchanting view that we did not mind the stormy wind and the lashing rain.

Blessed with the undulating lush green landscape, the land of beautiful hills has made a number of achievements in the field of education. It has produced civil servants like John B Tlangtinkhuma IAS, Challienkhum IRS, Darzakhum IRS, Best Educationist Awardees, Prof.L.Fimate and toppers in various Universities.

“The village is a heavenly place and a veritable paradise on earth.There is no power cut in the village, the home stay is powered by solar lamp. But I had no complaint, it was pretty comfortable.The villagers are vibrant, sociable and kind”, says a visitor from Churachandpur.” The villagers welcome complete strangers into their home, ready to share their stories and meals with a heartfelt generosity. Every family made us feel welcome as we toured the village’’, John Lalramthang of Pherzawl vllage said.

Bungkhawpui is also a perfect fruit and nut village,if ever there was one. The forest here are deep and dark .”If you are looking for comfort luxery. Parbung is not your scene. There’s no glamour here. But a sense of space and serenity will always greet you in Bungkhawpui”, Pu.Lura, a village elder said . “I have been to Bungkhawpui for several times and each time I had the privilege of enjoying warm hospitality offered by the Bungkhawpuians. My heart leaped when I got the chance to roam in the street,” says a visitor from Churachandpur’s Saidan village.

Life in this mountainous village is delightfully simple and the inhabitants are entirely self supporting, independent and self-reliant.  The  village is a  heavently place and a veritable paradise on earth. And  because of the hospitable homestay,guests have left the village to come visiting again and again . The natural beauty and pleasant weather makes it an ideal place to live in. And   for those who crave for adventure and excitement , there are charisma and saga  in exploring  its natural beauty . Summon one who needs to lighten up and relax in this pristine village.

Mizoram warns HPC-D against deterring polls

Aizawl: Mizoram Home Minister R Lalzirliana today issued a strongly-worded message to the Hmar People's Convention-Democratic in the wake of the outfit's threat that has forced the State Election Commission to extend the period of nominations till October 9.

Following "telephonic threats" from suspected HPC-D leaders, none filed nominations till 1500 hrs today, which was the last date for filing of papers for the elections to the 15 village councils under Aizawl and Kolasib districts rescheduled for October 18. This compelled the State Election Commission to extend the last date of filing papers till October 9, while the polling date remained unchanged.

The SEC had postponed the elections earlier scheduled for February 23 along with the rest of the state after the HPC-D served a diktat to the voters to vote only those candidates supported by the militant outfit. All the 15 villages fall under what is demanded by the HPC-D for Hmar autonomous district council. The Mizoram government conducted a flag march in the HPC-D area and also arrested the HPC-D chairman H Zosangbera and the outfit's "army chief" Lalropuia and "deputy army chief" Lalbiaknunga, which was believed to have disabled the small outfit.

The SEC rescheduled the elections for October 18. Appealing the HPC-D not to disturb the democratic process, the Home Minister in official statement today warned that the consequence could be declaration of the entire area as disturbed area in which the people would greatly suffer. (UNI)

German Football Coaching tips for Mizoram

~Arunava Chaudhuri

On their current trip to Mizoram, German coaching instructors Lutz Pfannenstiel and Felix Imm of the German Football Association (DFB), have stated that Mizoram can produce footballers of world class if the abundant talent among young footballers is properly harnessed, as the duo feel there was no reason why budding footballers from the Northeastern state cannot graduate to world standard players.

The coaches, who are in Aizawl to train local footballers and local coaches, were pretty impressed by the potential and high spirits of the young players.

“The potential is clearly visible in the spirited and entertaining game played by the young players," former goalkeeper Lutz Pfannenstiel said.

Lal Thanzara, President of Mizoram Football Association had requested Rainer Schmiedchen, Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Kolkata, to provide good coaches for Mizoram, the Consul General promptly expressed keen interest in exploring football talent in the state and took initiative to bring German coach to the state back in May 2012.

The world goalkeeper Lutz Pfannenstiel, who is the first footballer to have played professional football in all the six continents of our planet, said that for the past few days he and Felix Imm had been watching the local Mizo football keenly and concluded that the state has enough talent to make it to international standards.

The German duo is in the process of training local football coaches who will be participating in the upcoming Mizoram Premier League.

"We hope that some coaches may be inspired by what they learned during the training to try to find those same footballing truths for themselves and having found them, apply them to their own teams in Mizoram," said the German duo.

"The players need psychological, physical, moral, medical and sports support. This is how we do it back in Germany and there is no reason why we can’t do it in India or Mizoram," Lutz said at the press confidence.

"Our sincere thanks go to Lal Thanhawla, chief minister of Mizoram who paved the way for Mizoram Football Association to meet Consul General of Germany and our President Lal Thanzara, their efforts have paid off, not only for Mizoram, but also for India," said Lalnghinglova Hmar, Honorary Secretary of the Mizoram Football Association.



The coach education programme with the German coaches started on October 1 and runs until October 6 with 28 coaches from Mizoram attended the programme.

Sinlung Hills to be declared as disturbed areas?

Aizawl: Mizoram Home minister R Lalzirliana on friday warned that the north eastern parts of the state adjoining Manipur might be declared as 'disturbed area' if the Manipur-based Hmar People's Convention - Democrats militants continue to intimidate the people of the area and stalling the democratic processes.

Lalzirliana told media persons that the HPC-D militants intimidated the political parties and the people of the area under Sinlung Hills Development Council (SHDC) instructing the political parties not to field candidates in the elections to the village councils, scheduled to be held on October 18 in 15 villages.

"If the militants continue their unlawful and violent activities, the area may have to be placed under the control of not only the state police but also the central para-military forces," he said.

Meanwhile, no nominations were filed till 3 pm yesterday, the last day of filing nominations for elections of members of village councils in 15 villages, prompting the state election commission to extend the last date of filing of nominations till October nine.

Elections to the 15 village councils within the SHDC was not held along with the rest of the village council polls on February 23 due to intimidation by the HPC-D militants and the state election recently made schedule for elections of these village councils on October 18.

Mizoram: Polls to 15 villages to be deferred?

Aizawl: Mizoram State Election Commission is likely to defer the village council elections in 15 villages for the second time as no nominations were filed till 3 pm on Thursday, the last day for filing of nominations reportedly due to intimidation from Hmar insurgents.

Police said that political leaders of the 15 villages - 13 in Aizawl district and two villages in Kolasib district - were told not to file nominations for the village council polls scheduled to be held on October 18.

The HPC-D militants were at loggerheads with the state government and the top leaders of the outfit - its chairman H.  Zosangbera, 'army chief' Lalropuia and 'deputy army chief' Biaknunga were arrested by the state police and are remained in prison till date. The village council polls in the villages were not held along with the rest of the village councils on February 23, 2012 as the state election commission then felt that there would not be free and fair elections due to intimidation by the Hmar People's Convention - Democrats militants.
The HPC-D militants then threatened the voters that they should elect only those supported by the outfit.

Though the state election commission recently notified the date for election to these 15 villages, no one filed nominations forcing the commission, most likely, to defer the polls again.

Zeliangrong Baudi (Assam, Manipur & Nagaland) has warned of mass social unrest and civil war in the erstwhile NC Hill area, Assam, if the Government of India and Assam government conceded to the “Territorial Council” demand of the Dimasa people. Addressing media persons here at Hotel Regency Tuesday afternoon, ZB (AM & N) officials and Zeme organizations including ZB (AM&N) president, Raitu Chawang; ZB (AM&N) vice president D Atong; Zeme Council (North East India) president Ngauputlak Heu; Zeme Council (Nagaland) president & VP ZB (Nagaland), Raitu Elu and Nsong-Kebai Public Organisation president, Iluilung, expressed apprehension on the proposed October 6 tripartite agreement to be signed between the GoI, Assam Government and Dimasas on formation of territorial council.

Alleging that both GoI and Assam government have ignored the genuine grievances of the original and first inhabitants of NC Hills to appease a minority community, ZB officials reminded that the Zeme Nagas followed by Hmars and Kukis were the first settlers of NC Hills, which could be proven by historical facts and records. “As per census, the Dimasa people comprises only 35% population of NC Hills while other communities including Zeme, Kuki and Hmar make up for 65%. Then why is the Centre and Assam Government only trying to appease only the Dimasa. We are not against Dimasas’ demand, but if the governments concede to their demand, then they (GoI and Assam) should also agree to the demand of the Indigenous People’s Forum (IPF) comprising of Zeme, Hmar and Kuki for a separate autonomous district council”, the ZB officials asserted.

Cautioning that both Centre and Assam government would be held solely responsible for any fallout, ZB (AM&N) also declared that it would extend all support to the IPF in their fight for justice and equal treatment. The IPF has reportedly taken serious notice to the proposed “territorial council”, especially after the Assam government renamed NC Hills district as “Dima Hasao” and is apprehensive that once the “territorial council” demand is met, then Dimasas would exert their influence in areas dominated by Zemes, Kukis and Hmars. According to ZB members, the IPF has geared up to oppose the Dimasa demand tooth and nail, even to extent to taking up arms. ZB (AM&N) president Raitu Chawang disclosed that during a joint meeting with IPF delegation in Guwahati on Monday last (Oct 1), the latter conveyed that IPF was ready to retaliate and strike, if necessary, if the Centre and Assam did not heed to the voice of the majority.

ZB officials also briefed and clarified on the 48 hour bandh in NC Hills imposed by IPF on September 27 and 28 to protest the proposed “territorial council.” ZB said that while the IPF bandh passed off peacefully the first day, the second witnessed violence when IPF volunteers went to enquire as to why the Veterinary office at Halflong, the district headquarters, was open despite the bandh. “When two of our volunteers went to enquire, they were assaulted by former DHD (Jewel) cadres in full view of the police including OC Halflong. Later, a Zeme lady and well-known social worker Mrs. Kirangle who went to amicably settle the matter was also grievously injured by the former DHD cadres. Right now three of them have been shifted to Guwahati Medical College. Mrs. Kirangle is in critical condition and in ICU”, ZB officials said.

Joint Press Release on 28th September,2012 Incident in Haflong

PRESS RELEASE of the

ZEME STUDENTS’ UNION, GUWAHATI

HMAR STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION, GUWAHATI

KUKI STUDENTS’ ORGANISATION, GUWAHATI

---

 In view of the fateful incident of 28th September,2012 at Haflong, North Cachar Hills District during the 48 hours bandh called by I.P.F (Indigenous People’s Forum) in demand of the bifurcation of the district into two Autonomous Districts in which many innocent civilians, including women and minors, were brutally assaulted by the Security Forces in collaboration with the DHD(J) militants due to which many of them are fighting for their lives ,we strongly condemn the cowardly act and the brazen Human Rights violation of the Indigenous people which has become so common in the district.

The shameful incident, apart from exposing the partiality and biasedness of the Administration has, once again ,bring to light the pitiable plight of the Indigenous non-Diamsa communities of the district who, in spite of constituting 65% of the population, are given step-motherly treatment of the highest degree in their ancestral land. It is said that in Democracy numbers count, but in N.C Hills it has become crystal clear that it is ‘GUN’ alone which the government pays attention to. It may be further stated here that the incident of 28th September is a continuation of the barbaric and systematic pogrom perpetrated by the Dimasas to brutally crush the Indigenous people’s Constitutional and legitimate demand for the protection of their Rights and Honour. Another question we would like to put before the administration is how surrendered DHD(J) militants who are said to be confined to their designated camps could come out in large numbers with weapons and attack the innocent civilians including many women and minors and the Security Forces, instead of enforcing Ceasefire Ground Rules and taking action against the law-breakers, resorted to assault and indiscriminate firing upon the civilians. Once again, this has proved that the Law and Order machinery of the district is hand-in-glove with the Dimasa militants. The unprovoked and inhuman assault has laid bare the tall claims of the Government regarding peace and normalcy returning to the district forcibly renamed as Dima Hasao District against the wishes and protest of the majority people; it seems in the government’s lexicon, peace means succumbing to terror, violence and turning a deaf ear to the cries and pleas of the common people for justice. While neglecting the constitutional demand for bifurcation by the Indigenous people, the government is said to have made much progress in its talks with the Dimasa militants. By neglecting the peaceful and Democratic voices of the people and being ever-eager to heed only those practicing ‘Gun-Culture’ the government has set a very bad precedent in a district which has witnessed many ethnic-clashes.

Keeping the above grave circumstances in view, we demand –

1. The immediate bifurcation of the North Cachar Hills district into two autonomous districts under Article 244(2) of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution to protect the Rights and dignity of the Indigenous non-Dimasa communities and to ensure their survival and also for communal peace, harmony and all-round development.

2. Appropriate action against all those involved in the inhuman assault on innocent civilians as per law and the immediate suspension of the Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police of the district for complicity in the assault through their inaction against the gun-toting militants.

3. Adequate compensation to all those injured in the assault.

4. Shifting of all the designated camps of the Dimasa militants from populated areas especially from the district headquarter.
