A social worker in Manipur whose non-profit work was billed as a success story in helping youth and women in the border state affected by gun violence, has run into a huge controversy over his comments in a YouTube interview in which he was heard talking about the "need for escalating the Manipur crisis" in order to keep the demand for a separate administration "alive". Jamkhojang Misao (aka Misao Hejang Hangmi aka Hejang Misao), founder director of the Integrated Social And Institutional Development for Empowerment (InSIDE-North East), in an interview on the YouTube channel 'Nampi Media Jampilal' said the struggle for a separate land has been going on since his forefathers' time, and despite having multiple factions of insurgents with numerous different demands, all of them finally managed to agree on one issue - separate administration. "However, the separate administration movement has reduced now. We will not get this chance anymore, and such an opportunity will not come again. We should use this moment to create an even more chaotic situation, so that anyone who sees us will say we can never live together," Mr Misao said, referring to the Manipur ethnic violence between the Meitei community and over a dozen distinct tribes collectively known as Kuki, who are dominant in some hill areas of Manipur. He spoke in his dialect in the interview, which was translated and corroborated by three sources from the Kuki tribes for NDTV. "After the Manipur violence, the armed groups have come together on one demand. This is a work of God. But the Meiteis don't want to give us a separate administration. SoO groups also signed that Manipur territorial integrity won't be harmed. But God's plan seems to be about giving the Kukis a nation, and I feel it is there. If there was no violence, we would not have got a chance to demand a separate administration," Mr Misao said, referring to nearly two dozen Kuki-Zo militant groups that have signed the controversial suspension of operations (SoO) agreement, which lapsed in February this year . One of the clauses in the SoO agreement says Manipur's territorial integrity will not be touched. Calls to the phone numbers mentioned on InSIDE-North East's website went unanswered. He was among a group of people in the social service sector who was selected to meet former President Ram Nath Kovind in January 2020. He highlighted InSIDE-North East's 'Gun2Pen' programme -- among many other projects - which the non-profit said helped over 5,000 young people find the right path. "It's all God's work... this indicates God has a plan for us. The buffer zone is the evidence of the separation. Despite all these gains, and God's help, it seems we are unable to use the opportunity. The Meiteis started it, burnt our houses, killed our people, paraded women naked," said Mr Misao, who belongs to Any Kuki Tribe (AKT) that was added to the Scheduled Tribes' list in 2003. "If they have created the situation, how do we escalate it more and more, and keep it alive, then our demand will be seriously considered? Now, the separate administration demand's momentum is dying slowly. Even the Prime Minister in parliament says normalcy has come in Manipur. Schools are running, markets are running, government offices are also running, those who are going to grant us separate administration themselves say normalcy has returned," Mr Misao said in the interview. "Even if we don't agree with the claim by the government that normalcy has returned, New Delhi has already declared normalcy. So, in a place where there is normalcy, who is going to take up our issues? When the government in parliament says there is normalcy, we need to do something to show evidence that there is no normalcy. That's what's required," Mr Misao said. Information on the central government's non-profit organisation (NPO) database 'Darpan' shows Mr Misao registered the Integrated Social And Institutional Development for Empowerment in February 2013 in Manipur's Kangpokpi district. The public database contains unique identity numbers of NPOs. This unique ID number is mandatory if an NPO wants to take funds from government departments and ministries. Mr Misao's NPO has been allotted a unique identity number - MN/2017/0177675 - which it can use to apply for grants from government departments and ministries. "It is unfortunate that we are unable to take advantage of the situation. Whether armed groups or civil society groups or individuals, we have to introspect, take a look at the situation again as there is no complete normalcy yet. The world should know there will be no peace in Manipur without a solution. For leaders of the world and India to see, we have to do something so that they will know that Manipur needs a solution for peace," the social worker from Kangpokpi district said. He blamed leaders for the weakening of the resolve to demand a separate administration. "... If God has shown us the path, the leaders should have guided the public forward... There was a guy in Nagaland, C Singson, who asked the Indian interlocutor in Bangkok during the Naga talks, why is the Kuki issue never brought up? "The Indian interlocutor replied Kukis have never been an issue, and there is nothing to discuss about them. However, the Meiteis have with their actions against the Kukis, who never really had any grievances, have created a situation which has made the Indian government realise the Kukis have an issue. "Not only the Indian government, the whole world has now recognised the Kukis' problem. That problem has to be escalated more and more. If that problem is not escalated, then the demand we are putting forward is not politically strong and reasonable. The Meiteis have made us politically strong. But today, we don't know how to take it forward. That's very unfortunate," Mr Misao said. There are many villages of the Kuki tribes in the hills surrounding the Meitei-dominated valley. The clashes between the Meiteis and the Kuki tribes have killed over 250 people and internally displaced nearly 50,000. The general category Meiteis want to be included under the Scheduled Tribes category. The Kukis who share ethnic ties with people in neighbouring Myanmar's Chin State and Mizoram want a separate administration carved out of Manipur, citing discrimination and unequal share of resources and power with the Meiteis.
KUWAIT: The Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) announced that it has proposed solutions to address environmental crises facing urban cities in Kuwait through a study titled “Crisis Management and Decision Support for Sustainable Smart Cities.” Engineer Dana Al-Enezi from the Environment and Life Sciences Research Center at the KISR told KUNA that the study presented by the institute was presented at the International Conference on Smart Management and Innovation for Sustainable Cities recently. Al-Enezi added that the study, in which Dr Ali Al-Dosari, Dr Abdullah Al-Enezi, and Dr Ahmed Hassan from Matrouh University in Egypt participated, in addition to specialist Ahood Al-Enezi from the Ministry of Health, provided an integrated system to support decisions and early warning with the aim of enhancing environmental risk management strategies. She explained that the study provided a number of technical and scientific solutions to address these crises, most notably the installation of sensors in rainwater drainage networks to help monitor flood-prone areas early, allowing for preventive measures to be taken to reduce potential damage to infrastructure. The solutions also include applying earthquake resistance standards in buildings, especially in the northern and southern regions of Kuwait, which have witnessed repeated seismic events, in addition to using remote sensing and satellite technologies to continuously monitor environmental changes and accurately analyze geological and environmental data, in addition to developing a comprehensive database that combines spatial, geotechnical, geological, topographical, environmental, and other information. She explained that the main objective of this study is to direct development efforts towards building smart and sustainable cities capable of adapting to the desert environment and achieving a balance between urban expansion and environmental conservation, pointing to the need for comprehensive strategies to confront climate change, enhance infrastructure, and achieve sustainable development that serves future generations. “We studied the impact of environmental crises such as dust storms, floods, and earthquakes on real estate prices in various governorates. It became clear from the statistical data we collected that Ahmadi Governorate is the most affected by environmental crises, which was reflected in the decrease in real estate prices compared to other governorates, despite recording the highest sales rates during the period,” Engineer Al-Anzi said. She added, “The study included 3,415 real estate records that were filtered to obtain accurate data on 2,814 properties sold at 100 percent. The results showed that weak infrastructure and poor management of facilities in some southern regions, in addition to recurring environmental crises such as floods and earthquakes, were major factors influencing the real estate market”. Regarding the impact of environmental crises on the quality of life and urban development, she stated that dust storms and heavy rains represent a major challenge to the environment and infrastructure in the country, which requires strengthening urban development plans to address these challenges. — KUNACoBank Releases 2025 Year Ahead Report – Forces That Will Shape the U.S. Rural Economy

Rataj has 16 in Oregon State's 74-65 victory against CharlestonTORONTO - CBC is restoring its live New Year’s Eve celebration. A year after the national broadcaster cancelled the 2024 countdown due to “financial pressures,” it says the special event is back on the TV schedule to mark the dawn of 2025. Festivities begin Dec. 31 with the one-hour “22 Minutes New Year’s Eve Pregame Special,” a satirical reflection on the events of 2024 with the cast of the political comedy series “This Hour Has 22 Minutes.” It will be followed by “Canada Live! Countdown 2025,” a special hosted by news anchor Adrienne Arsenault and singer Jann Arden broadcasting live from Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre, and anchor Ian Hanomansing and comedian Ali Hassan at Vancouver’s VanDusen Botanical Garden. A representative for the CBC says the coast-to-coast show will feature reporters at more than a dozen community events across the country while a countdown to the new year will take place in each of the six time zones. Throughout the seven-and-a-half-hour program, “many Canadian celebrity guests” will appear in live and pre-taped messages. “Canada Live! Countdown 2025” begins at 8 p.m. ET on CBC News Network and CBC Gem with CBC-TV and CBC Radio picking up the feed at 9 p.m. in local markets. Last year, the CBC replaced its live New Year’s Eve programming with a taped Just For Laughs special hosted by comedian Mae Martin. That left Canadians without a homegrown countdown on any of the major networks, which sparked blowback on social media from some viewers. The CBC began its annual specials in 2017 to mark Canada’s sesquicentennial year. Some of the more recent broadcasts were hosted by comedian Rick Mercer and featured fireworks and musical performances in key cities. But when CBC paused those plans last year, it said the show had become “increasingly expensive to produce.” The decision to sideline the program was made shortly after members of Parliament summoned outgoing CBC president Catherine Tait to testify about job cuts and her refusal to rule out bonuses for CBC executives. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 12, 2024.
Social media mourns death of Jimmy Carter
Willy Adames plans to play every day for San Francisco and bring the Giants championshipsAccording to the department of tourism, over 20 million tourists visited Jammu and Kashmir this year—a record-breaking figure and the highest ever. The numbers are impressive, especially considering the region’s decades of turmoil. These figures could have been even higher if not for the continuous unrest over the last three decades, as the region lies in a conflict zone. Kashmir’s natural beauty, the very foundation of its tourism, is under threat. Unplanned and illegal constructions, particularly in scenic spots like Pahalgam, Gulmarg, and Sonmarg, are slowly eating the Valley’s charm. According to a recent survey, illegal constructions in these areas have increased by nearly 20% over the past five years, indicating a serious challenge to sustainable tourism. If restrictions are not imposed, we risk losing what makes Kashmir special, both for locals and visitors. Now, the issue isn’t just about the loss of scenic beauty—it’s about livelihoods too. Most of the Valley’s population relies on apple orchards and paddy fields, which are now at risk due to proposed railway projects. These include the Awantipora-Shopian, Anantnag-Pahalgam, Baramulla-Uri, and Sopore-Kupwara lines. Does Kashmir Really Need These Railway Lines? Railway connectivity is often used for long distances, like the Banihal-Baramulla railway line, Kashmir’s first and oldest railway line, which now connects Jammu to the Valley. This line divides the valley almost in two equal parts and spans nearly 200 kilometers. The authorities have announced that trains will now run directly from Delhi by next year. Projects like the Chenab Bridge on this line are truly an engineering milestone in the history of Indian Railways, it is appreciable and making it a truly people-centric project. However, the same cannot be said for the new proposals. If we consider routes like Bijbehara to Shopian or Anantnag to Pahalgam, the distances are barely 30-40 kilometers. What is the purpose of constructing railway projects for such short distances, especially when it endangers people’s livelihoods and natural heritage? Neither are these projects demanded by the people, as seen in the widespread resistance against them. Although there are claims that these projects will boost tourism in J&K, but the question remains: at what price? Can tourism flourish without the scenic beauty and clean environment that are being compromised with each passing day? The Banihal-Baramulla railway line serves a legitimate need and benefits the masses. Plans to double this line make sense, as it will ease train movement without further need for additional land acquisition as the required land was already acquired during the proposal and construction of the first one. But projects like the Anantnag-Pahalgam and AwantiporaShopian lines raise questions about their necessity, given the limited distances involved and the already good road connectivity in these areas. There is already minimal land available in Jammu and Kashmir for agriculture and horticulture. This land is shrinking rapidly due to unregulated development projects and infrastructure. Experts warn that at the current rate of shrinkage, it will lead to food insecurity and economic instability. These projects themselves violate the ‘Land Use Policy of India’, which suggests sustainable development that ensures the optimal use of land resources. The policy aims to conserve and protect sensitive ecosystems like forests and wetlands, promote eco friendly practices, and secure food security by protecting agricultural land. As per the policy, the government should follow a consultative and participatory approach when acquiring agricultural and cultivated land for such projects. So, the authorities should engage in discussions with landowners and local communities to understand their needs, concerns and alternatives. As per 2016 data, the average landholding size in Jammu and Kashmir is only 0.33 hectares, far below states like Arunachal Pradesh (5.82 ha), Punjab (3.62 ha), Haryana (2.22 ha), and Rajasthan (1.73 ha). This highlights the precarious situation of land availability in the region. Shrinking agricultural land in a place with such low landholding sizes could devastate livelihoods. According to the Department of Horticulture, Jammu and Kashmir accounts for 75% of India’s apple production, contributing significantly to the region’s economy. Losing even a fraction of this industry would be devastating. Let’s not forget that the apple industry is the backbone of Jammu and Kashmir’s economy. Experts warn that these projects could deal a severe blow to this crucial sector, one that supports thousands of families. Tourism pales in comparison when considering the economic importance of agriculture and horticulture. Unplanned Progress and Environmental Concerns We’ve all seen what unplanned development can do. Look at Delhi’s choking air quality— an example of how progress without planning can backfire. The World Health Organization recently reported that South Asia has some of the most polluted cities in the world, and if such trends continue, Kashmir too could face severe environmental degradation. For example, the Anantnag-Pahalgam railway project could severely degrade the environment and threaten natural heritage. Pahalgam, famous worldwide for its scenic beauty, is at risk of losing its pristine charm. Although road connectivity is good enough for these places, widening existing roads would be a viable alternative, with a much smaller environmental impact compared to these railway projects. For almost a year, dozens of videos have circulated on social media where people demand that their voices be heard. Protests, especially by farmers, have erupted against these projects. Their message is clear: they are not against development but against the price they’re being asked to pay. And it’s not just about the railway lines themselves. Once completed, these projects could trigger a construction boom along the tracks, particularly near stations. Think commercial and residential buildings stretching over a kilometer on both sides, adding to the already alarming rate of unregulated construction in the Valley. According to official data, urbanization in Kashmir has already grown by 12% in the past decade, raising concerns about overburdened infrastructure and ecological imbalance. Progress is essential—we all agree on that. But it must not come at the cost of people’s livelihood and natural heritage. Globally, alarm bells are ringing. The world is at a tipping point, with climate change and overdevelopment threatening fragile ecosystems. Can Kashmir afford to lose its paradise in the name of progress? The administration should rethink these projects and find a way to strike a balance, ensuring that development benefits the people without harming what makes Kashmir unique. Kashmir deserves better, and so do its people. Let’s not trade paradise for progress.
