Bishnupriya Manipuri teachers get relief

From our Special Correspondent SILCHAR, September 18: 85 Bishnupriya Manipuri language teachers of various schools in Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi districts, who were not receiving their salaries for the last 27 months since the very date of their joining, have at last been relieved. On the sustained persuasion of Bishnupriya Manipuri Language LP Teachers’ Association, these unfortunate teachers could get their salary in arrears at the fixed rate of Rs 1,800 only per month.

Time to make a new beginning

By Rebati Mohan Sinha This morning, while returning home from morning walk, I happened to meet a group of Muslim brethren of our housing society, who were coming out of the lift , wearing smile in their faces, wishing me 'Eid Mubarak', which I immediately reciprocated and asked myself, is it a spiritual socialisation? They would exchange gifts, met their neighbours and eat and drink together. These interactive activities continue the whole day. What is the purpose of this interaction? The purpose is to share one's thoughts with others, to share   the wisdom gained during the festive days. These activities, or spiritual socialisation, are not meant to last just for a day. This culture must be continued for the full year, only to be renewed during the next festival; but how far it is possible ? We are just trying to safeguard our social custom and traditions. We have sent satellites into space and achieved a global presence in the field of IT. Despite this , o
