The work order was allotted to one M/S Sky View Infradev Pvt Limited, a firm which is reportedly not recognised by the varsity.<br /> <br /> Hardly thirty per cent of the work was executed and strangely the DU administration has made full payment to the firm, which allegedly contravenes operating rules. As per the work order, the time of completion was 45 days but five months have passed and not even half the work is executed. The works of cable and terminator, the installation of galvanized octagonal pole and earthing system are yet to be completed. The panel board is placed in the control room but the connection is not done yet. The work order was reportedly issued on 19/03/2014 but was reportedly shown to its Planning and Construction Department as 25/08/2014.<br /> <br /> Moreover, it is a normal practice that works executed under the funding of UGC grants are normally published as ‘tender notice’ in leading newspapers but the same has been allegedly ignored. Personnel in the Planning and Construction Department of the varsity are ignorant of the terms and conditions of the work order as they have never received copies of ‘tender notice’ regarding supply and installation of energy efficient LED street lights from the administration.<br /> <br /> Further, the Planning and Construction Department of the varsity does not have documents of the warranty period of the LED light due to which they cannot look into the repair and replacement of the items when needed. It needs to be mentioned here that the security of Dibrugarh University campus largely depends on these street lights.<br /> <br /> Irregularity has also been alleged in procuring furniture fittings in the new guest house of Dibrugarh University but details could not be gathered.<br /> <br /> Source: Assam Tribune<br />

The movie will premiere at the 39th Toronto International Film Festival which begins on September 4.<br /> <br /> Former Miss World and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra plays Mary in the movie. According to the director, the film depicts the life and struggles of the renowned boxer who hails from Kangathei village in Manipur's Churachandpur district.<br /> <br /> "My husband Onler Kom and I were invited to attend the Toronto festival. Owing to my hectic schedule, I won't be able to make it," Mary said on Saturday, adding, "If I attend the event in Toronto, I'll miss my practice sessions for the Asian Games."<br /> <br /> On the controversy regarding Chopra's casting as Mary, Onler said, "In the early stages of production, some Manipuri actresses expressed their desire to play Mary. We told them we have nothing to do with casting."<br /> <br /> In fact, the film team asked a Manipuri actor to play a key role in the movie, but he refused due to a ban on Hindi films in the state, Onler added. The ban has been imposed by militant outfits active in Manipur.<br /> <br /> Last week, Komrem Union requested rebel outfits to allow the screening of "Mary Kom" in Manipur. The union is a conglomeration of six ethnic groups, including the Koms to which Mary belongs.<br /> <br /> Source: Times of India

The outfit further took potshots at the CM Dr Mukul Sangma accusing him of not being a peace lover.<br /> <br /> “Mukul Sangma, who came to power on the promise of bringing peace and development to the State, is currently not popular amongst his colleagues. Now, everyone knows that he is not a peace lover but a killer. His colleagues were right in accusing him of ignoring to invite all militant groups operating in Garo Hills for peace talks”, said Marak in a release yesterday.<br /> <br /> Savio said the opportunity created by the CM for all those who want to come overground would not serve the purpose of a new Garoland State. “The State Government had adopted a strategy to create an opportunity for members of militant outfits to take advantage of the government’s offer to come overground and benefit from the rehabilitation package. But, how can an organisation like us just jump in just for a package or surprises when our goal is clearly for Garoland”.<br /> <br /> Marak said that the GNLA did not understand why the CM was still adamant on the subject of Garoland when all groups have a similar objective and want to come overground. “He is instead finding ways to aggravate the situation in Garo Hills by bringing in more forces to hunt down militants and by intensifying operations. Offering peace at the front and backstabbing by operations shows his insincerity in bringing about peace”.<br /> <br /> The GNLA reiterated that it stood by its demand for a separate Garoland State and would not come to talks without it. He warned, “We will never come and surrender and the government should not expect us to come to talk unconditionally. We will stick to our demand for Garoland and our armed struggle for this cause will continue till it is achieved”.<br /> <br /> Source: Assam Tribune<br />
