ITANAGAR, Dec 20: The physical assault of DNGC's Political Science Assistant Professor Dr. Aruna Gyati Lod by a student of her own college shows how our education system has deviated from Swami Vivekananda's ideal of education-'what we want is not just book learning education, what is important is character building and man making education,' lamented Kamen Ringu, Chairman Central Working Committee, PPA. Sadly, education has never been a high priority agenda in any Indian Political Party's manifesto, resulting in growing innate intelligence but abysmally low growth of wisdom- buddhi. This is both the cause and effect of our total indifference towards education. Today our society lives in a moral vacuum, added Ringu. Appropriate measures should be initiated by the Govt. to prevent such untoward incidents happening in the future within the campus, said Nikh Kamin, President PPA.

Mirem (RMM) road situated in 37 assembly constituency under East Siang district. The concern road forms the life line of people and is the solitary road connecting area to the rest of state. However this stretch of road has been in deplorable condition since last two decades and remained a trivial issue for the authority concern. Indeed RMM road becomes fish fond in rain session and there is hardly any vehicle seen plying on this road. The said road is in worst condition since many years. Neither MLA, local leaders, VIPs nor concerned department officials is taking any step to maintain this road. Taking into consideration the deteriorating road condition there is a very big question mark on our economic growth and even on our survival.. It is demand of the people to the authority concern to look into this matter seriously and take solid and positive step with immediate effect in this regards as to erase this problem at the earliest. Yours, Samuel Padung (President), Tapang Talom (General Secretary), Bilat Block Timber Best Contractor Association, Bilat.
