On the boil again
It is unfortunate that even after the imposition of President’s Rule in Manipur, normalcy still eludes the riot-ridden State. How can the free movement of vehicles be possible without the cooperation of the Kuki-Zo people? Before enforcing any plan, the government should take the Kuki-Zo people into confidence. The government should arrange for a meeting of the two communities and try to solve the problems.

The photographs of dismantled militant bunkers in Manipur are alarming and highlight a certain level of military training and capabilities. The structures mirror those used by professional armies for defence, indicating that militants pose a significant challenge to Indian security forces. The situation needs to be analysed and a solution thought of that safeguards the sovereignty of India.

Student life
Though scuffles and substance abuse have become prevalent among school students, the killing of a schoolboy by a gang of students in Kerala is very disturbing as it poses a serious question about the well-being and safety of students in the days ahead. It is difficult for teachers and parents alike to keep a tab on the activities of students/children always. This tendency can be attributed to media content — the viewing of films with excessive violence and vengeance and the use of modern electronic gadgets which enable this. The profound influence on young minds cannot be dismissed as inevitable. The successful running of educational institutions has become a challenge as rowdyism is being reported more frequently (‘Ground Zero’ page, March 8).

In Dubai
The way Team India played in Dubai to clinch the Champions trophy was befitting for a champion team. The ICC title is a feather in India’s cap.
