Post-docu theft, Bru body for fresh revision of electoral rolls Aizawl, August 31 (PTI): The newly-formed Mizoram Bru Displaced People's Coordination Committee (MBDPCC) has appealed to the Election Commission and the Mizoram government to conduct revision of electoral rolls in the six relief camps in Tripura again. The request followed a burglary at the election office of Mizoram's Mamit district following which enlistment forms duly filled in by the displaced Bru people in the relief camps of the neighbouring Tripura have gone missing. The August 23 burglary took place two days before the final phase of repatriation of Bru families from Tripura to Mizoram started on August 25. In a statement issued yesterday evening, MBDPCC president T Laldingliana asked the poll panel and the Mizoram government officials to conduct revision of voters list expeditiously and hand over the electoral photo identity cards to the voters personally. Mizoram police arrested five persons, including two women, in connection with the burglary. All of them work in the district election office. Manipur CM exhorts surgeons Newmai News Network Imphal | August 31 Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has urged the Association of Surgeons of India (ASI) to examine ways so that surgeons from Manipur are also adequately represented in the association at the National level. He made the appeal while addressing the inaugural session of the Executive Council Meet of the association at the Imperial Hall of Classic Grande in Imphal today. Stating that he had learned that ASI Manipur State Chapter is not a full-fledged member of the Executive Council of ASI but a co-opted member because of lack of number of members, Singh appealed to the association to examine ways so that smaller States like Manipur can also become a full-fledged member. Of the different specialties in the world of medicine, surgeons are the most gifted and most daring, he said. To be able to open living human bodies and cure them of difficult diseases is no less than a divine gift, he opined, adding that ASI with nearly 20,000 members, therefore, is an organisation with great responsibilities. The CM further expressed happiness that ASI Manipur along with the Association of Minimal Access Surgeons of India conducted free surgery camp in Tamenglong, the remotest district of the State, recently. He informed that 53 operations including key-hole surgeries were done in two days for the first time in the district. Meanwhile, Singh invited all participants to visit the State during Manipur Sangai Festival in November, adding Princess of Thailand is likely to attend this year’s festival.
