Sir, — Insurgency has only been on the rise in all the years that the AFSPA has been in force. Why is the Government shying away from discussing the core problem of insurgency?

Programme Officer Dr Thingnam Kishan Singh also inspected the work taken up in Kasom Khullen. Speaking to UNI, he said among 44 villages taken up under NREGS, Kasom Khullen is the most backward and isolated block in Ukhrul district. Asserting that NREGS represents a paradigm shift in the delivery mechanism of the government aimed at ushering a new era of economic insurrection he stressed on the need to commit towards the creation of durable community assets which can generate and enhance productivity so as to enable the villages to embark on the path of self-reliance and self-sustenance.
