Lamka April 13: The Link language of Prasar Bharti AIR, Churachandpur station will be Paite. The official decision was taken at the appropriate level by virtue of Paite being the language of majority of people inhabiting Churachandpur district.
This has been stated by the chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh during his speech as chief guest at the inaugural function of AIR Churachandpur in a function held today from about 11 am.
Paite will be the language of the programme conductor whereas all other major communities will be allowed to conduct their programmes in their own languages.
This is also the pattern in the case of the AIR, Imphal where Manipuri has been used as the host languages the chief minister elaborated.
The deputy director general NER-II C Lalrosang in his turn termed the event as historical while stating there will be three broadcast time in which all the minor communities will be given programmes.
He said as infrastructures will be further improved more transmission will be launch side by side with it with more broadcast time.
According to Mohammad Uddin an official of the AIR the radio station's transmission frequency is 60 KW FM , 1015 MW and will have a reception radius of 50 km.
The chief minister came to Churachandpur today on an inauguration spree of the various projects.
The chief minister termed the delay in the inauguration as a result of 'lack of communication and mistrust' among the various communities. He lifted off by chopper after the inauguration of four other projects at around 1:30 pm.
Earlier he inaugurated the construction for Mini Secretariat at Tuibuang Horticulture farm which is occupied by the Army as sector headquarters. Soon after he opened the Sports Complex at Tuibuang Peace Ground located adjacent to the mini secretariat.
The chief minister and his ministerial team then went straight to Tualnuam village near Thingkangphai and upon reaching the spots again inaugurated the FCI godown which he term as a good development for one and all.
Speaking here as chief guest he regretted the inability of the government to take up time bound schemes and projects in time inspite of earmarking huge amounts of fund due to major and minor problems which crop up time to time.
The FCI godown will be constructed on a war footing so as to benefit all.
The chief minister then inaugurated the administrative buildings of the Autonomous District Council at Tuibuang
He reiterated during his speech as chief guest here that it was regrettable the mini secretariat and other infrastructures could not be completed when in all other districts the same is almost ready for inauguration. He urged the concern parties to spare no efforts in trying to complete the project within two years.
Regarding the FCI godowns he said there are so many rats at the Sangaiprou godowns eating away rice meant for the people of Churachandpur district while pointing out his desire to ensure that Churachandpur quota be delivered to the Churachandpur distribution centre directly.
He said the FCI at Tualnuam is meant for the benefit of all.
He further said if the people near the mini secretariat claim that its theirs alone and give no chances for others to benefit it's wrong and shameful.
If just because one is a Paite or a Thadou-Kuki and others are not allowed to live in a particular areas, then the same group of people who rejected the former may be rejected at another places thus suffering the same fate he said.
He said all Indians and can live anywhere in India.
He said if we say non-Manipuris have to go then there are so many from the state who live and study outside the state who may suffer the same fate. He calld for all to tolerate each others for the sake of development.
The chief minister was accompanied by the T Phungzathang minister power, TN Haokip minister PHED, N Biren minister IFCD, K Ranjit Singh minister works, DD Thaisi minister tribal development, Thangso Baite MP Outer Parliament Manipur, T Manga MLA, T Hangkhanpau MLA, V Hangkhanlian, Ngursanglur MLA and a host of dignitaries from the state government and officials of the district including the DC and the Sp Churachandpur.(IFP)
