The writing on the wall should be clear to all. Before the Nationwide lockdown was enforced, the country observed a 14 hour Janata Curfew from 7 am to 9 pm on March 22. To the discerning few the Janata Curfew would be the prologue to the 21 days Nationwid..

As professionals engaged in the business of disseminating information to the public, it is getting more and more tough to keep up with the latest statistics on the number of infections and deaths due to COVID-19, at least in India. And so it stands that w..

Lockdown for 21 days from March 25. Giving it more sense of urgency was obviously the report that one young girl, coming back from the United Kingdom, had tested positive for coronavirus on March 24. Despite the call of the Government and people in positi..

Total lockdown for 21 days, that is till April 14. Curfew imposed all over the State to discourage people from congregating. Shops and supply points opened for a few hours to let people buy their needed provisions on selected days, notably on alternate da..

The virus has landed. Nothing surprising here for Manipur is also very much a member of the community which collectively make up the global village. Again it is also not surprising to see so many misinformation and manufactured stories, in short blatant l..

Cheering the unsung heroes, though ironically they are the real heroes and heroines in the ongoing fight against coronavirus which has already claimed over 13 thousand lives across the world. ..

From Chinky to Ching Chong Chinaman to Coronavirus besides Momo, the discrimination or rather racial profiling has not yet come full circle, for the past, the present and a look at the probable future says that such categorisation will continue...

The question of bigger import is what can Manipur expect from Leishemba Sanajaoba once he enters Rajya Sabha. This is a question which is dear to The Sangai Express and needs to be raised at this juncture. ..

The report that a young woman had been gang-raped by four men is extremely shocking and ghastly. It is a very serious crime of bestial nature. The beasts hidden behind human faces of the four rapists came to the fore..

Student violence. Nothing more and nothing less than this. It was plain violence in all its ugliness and there can be no ground to offer any excuses. What makes the violence at Lilong Higher Secondary Madrassa on March 5..

The mortality rate may be low but this is not the issue. What is worrying is the rapid spread of the virus and from Wuhan in China, today the coronavirus has spread to over 70 countries. ..

Slowly and steadily India’s engagement with Myanmar is gaining momentum. The two neighbouring countries signed as many as 10 agreements. The deals were signed in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Myanmar President U Win Myint at New Delhi..

The State Government is working out on a plan to have a separate law for the land in the hills. This is what Chief Minister N Biren said on the floor of the Assembly the other day. Not yet clear how this will go down with the hill..

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious vision of doubling farmers’ income by 2022 sounds rather paradoxical if not bombastic, at least in Manipur. Doubling farmers’ income means expanding and promoting agricultural activities. It is on..

It could be much more than question papers of some subjects leaked and could point to the presence of a bigger ‘gang’ who are in the know and are well placed to lay their hands on the said question papers well before the exams...

Making it to the list of infamy and to The Sangai Express this has not come as a surprise. Much before the Delhi based Centre for Science and Environment included Nambul and Kongba among the 60 most polluted rivers in the North ..

A festival with a message. If Guru Rewben Mashangva touched the right chord in belting out a number, ‘China be strong, Wuhan be strong,’ underlining the need for humanity to stand as one against the novel coronavirus ..

The focus is on Government schools and rightly so. It is out of sheer exasperation that many well meaning citizens of the land had suggested that children of all Government school teachers should be made to study in Government ..

Focus on governance and this strategy has worked out perfectly well for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Arvind Kejriwal. Water supply, power supply, schools in Delhi, transportations-these are some points which touch the daily..

The teachers on protest do have a point but the appeal of the Chairman of the Council of Higher Secondary Education, Manipur (COHSEM) should also be taken in the right spirit. 7th Pay this is what the Council of Teachers’ Association..

It is not a joke and as things stand today, the Wuhan coronavirus has spread throughout the world. This is not an issue specific to a country, a region or even a continent, but is a global issue...

It was on August 11, 2018 that Union Minister for Communication, Electronics and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad released the Digital North East Vision 2022 in Guwahati. ..

Once lost, it would be impossible to retrieve or regenerate any of the wetlands which are closely associated with our world view and of course, livelihood. The report that all wetlands of Manipur except Loktak and Pumlenpat ..

Perhaps, the illustrious career of champion boxer MC Mary Kom has reached its zenith, and the country has honoured her stellar achievement with none other than Padma Vibhushan which is the highest civilian award in the country..

Peace pact. Political negotiations. This is obviously the mantra of the BJP led Government at the Centre and this is best exemplified by the pact signed between New Delhi and four armed groups of Assam..

Territory intact but autonomous councils for the Nagas of Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh. This is the likely solution after the final pact is signed between the NSCN (IM) and the Government of India. The final pact may be signed any day soon, but no one se..

Come back to us if the Speaker does not act within four weeks even after being asked to do so. This was the Supreme Court of India to the Congress petitioners after it had asked the Speaker of the Manipur Legislative Assembly..

An unlikely pact, much less an Accord. But this is just what the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) and the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) have done. One is a group thought to be primarily active in Nagaland and the other in Manipur, though their ac..

It was with the Industrial Revolution which heralded the rise of capitalism. Once capitalism became the dominant model of economy, almost all human societies ceased to live in harmony with their natural surroundings...

The media is always the soft target. And mind you, it is not of the recent past. What did the State Government do when the media houses were attacked ? Or is it a case of the media houses not formally reporting the matter..

Food for thought-Too many festivals in a year. MLA of Keirao Assembly Constituency Lourembam Rameshwor has just touched on a topic which has hitherto been thought to be of no consequence, but still has a defining impact on the people as a whole. Land of f..

A bloody debut this is, with all the blood and gore and this is how the Hindu Raksha Dal has announced its entry into campus politics, or whatever one may call it. The blow on the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)..

The polarisation that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) spawns is indeed deep and while in other parts of the country one sees anti-CAA rallies and meetings being staged, there are equally a large number of people..
