On record the largest political party in the world with 180 million or 1800 lakh or 18 crore members, the BJP sits tall and pretty at the top as far as numbers go. Top this off as the party at the helm of affairs in the largest democracy in the world sinc..

It was back on September 17, 2024 that Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced for one and all to hear that a roadmap to resolve the situation in Manipur has been prepared. It was in line with this announcement that the first joint meeting of legislators ..

This is perhaps the first time that a State Government has reached out and appealed to the Centre to keep a check on the soaring flight ticket prices and while no one knows whether the Union Civil Aviation Ministry would take heed of the appeal and prevai..

The date is clear-January 17. The venue is also clear-Delhi. The parties set to take part in the meeting is also clear-forum of major organisations representing the Kuki-Zo communities. A major step to break the stalemate or just another routine round of ..

Red, Yellow, Green. Each of this signal tells the driver what to do as one approaches a traffic island. Red means stop. Yellow means slow down. And Green means go. Other than these traffic lights, Zebra crossing is another term that motorists need to be e..

Over 20 months in a ‘state of war’ and in as much as Imphal and Delhi do not seem to know what steps to take to put the State  on the road of normalcy, it is encouraging to note the newly arrived Governor reaching out to some segment of t..

National Road Safety Month 2025 has been launched. More than likely that not many would have taken note of it much less appreciate the spirit with which this campaign has been launched but it should be clear to all that road safety needs to be a priority ..

A new Governor has come and perhaps this is the first time that the appointment of a full fledged person to occupy the Raj Bhavan has evoked so much interest as now. This is all that more so given that new incumbent Ajay Kumar Bhalla was the Union Home Se..

Welcome 2025 and good riddance 2024. Much like how Manipur greeted 2024 and bade goodbye for good to 2023. Will it be anything different when 2026 comes knocking ? The remaining 12 months or 365 days will bring the answer, but it is the people on either s..

Two or three ? Technicalities and the legalities aside, what stands true is, the situation in Manipur needs to be discussed at the highest forum and what could be higher than the floor of the Assembly ? This is besides Parliament and it is this point that..

Hand picked by New Delhi and there are reasons why the appointment of former Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla as the Governor of Manipur has kicked up a degree of interest with keen observers of the political development in the State having different says..

What is there to be gained from being named a question setter of the Class X examinations conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Manipur ? If one is truly an educationist, an individual with a passion for imparting knowledge to the youngsters and ..

This would beat any yarn churned out in some B or C Grade Hindi flick but this is not a make believe story on celluloid but a real life event, bordering on tragedy, that has been scripted. Where else would one come across the story of a man reported missi..

Nothing is right. The incident occurred on November 20, as per the Makhan Village Authority. The incident came to light or rather came to the knowledge of The Sangai Express and other Imphal based media houses on November 23. On November 24 Chief Minister..

Supposedly the smallest among the 33 recognised tribes of Manipur, but the message the Purum tribe via the Purum Reim Council, Manipur (PRCM) has delivered is profound. A point which many have felt but have never had the conviction to verbalise and the po..

The internet ban continues so does curfew. Call for MLAs to give in their papers also continues while others, in equal measures, have stoutly asserted that the MLAs should continue in office. Major roads in Imphal continue to resemble a clip straight out ..

Obvious that Imphal and Delhi do not know how to deal with the situation and the fact that this should be the reality even after Union Home Minister Amit Shah and External Affairs Minister S Jaishanker had proclaimed that illegal immigration is one of the..

Armed Forces Special Powers Act reimposed in areas that come under 6 police stations and the question doing the round is whether such a move would in any way help the Government in reining in the situation. Can one expect to see a marked improvement in th..

Onion at Rs 120 per Kg and potato at Rs 80/90 per Kg. Difficult to say how accurate are the rates quoted here, but this is what is doing the round on the social media but the meaning central to the prices quoted here should be understood--That is prices o..

The design behind the series of renewed offensives in the last few days should be clear by following the thread from the evening of November 7 when heavily armed Kuki militants attacked Mongbung village in Jiribam district at about 8.30 pm. The Sangai Exp..

Manipur needs to be very, very cautious and this observation is made not without a reason. Ever since Manipur went up in flames in the evening of May 3, 2023, no one seems to know who is calling the shot. The result is chaos and all round confusion  ..

It is not a question of many, but Manipur which should object and strongly so with a sense of conviction. Anyone vaguely familiar with the history of the Tangkhuls in Manipur or Ukhrul, now bifurcated into Kamjong and Ukhrul district, will laugh at the id..

It is not Imphal or the State Government which has decided that the porous Indo-Myanmar border would be fenced, but New Delhi. This much must be clear to everyone and this is all that more important given the fact that a key meeting between Government rep..

If at all Manipur or rather the Meiteis have to learn anything from the over 17 months of conflict, it is this-it makes no sense to step on the toes of anyone, anyone who is not a party in the ongoing conflict. In just a few days time Manipur would have c..

Manipur has never had it so bad in recent memory. No indications that the ongoing ethnic violence would be brought to an end anytime in the near future. All roads in Imphal in shambles that driving for even 100 metres without having to negotiate a pothole..
