A day we will not forget

"Breaking News of Today" was flashing with big and red letters on the screen.''Three men were fatally shot by Kuki Militant last night, at Kwakta,
The victims were inside their house asleep. Information chaos was, in itself, frightening enough, it's terrible ! I cannot even imagine it! So shocking!"
The wall clock was making hissing sounds, its old mechanism tired of running day after day, things are getting worse, waters are rising, the wind is getting stronger, volcanoes are erupting, the forests are on fire and the earth is often moving, and when it rained, well, grey and acidic.
The animals are in hiding, the fruits are in a can and the flowers are buried under the concrete, you can't hear the bird song for they are too frightened to sing. What is needed is a balance, everything needs to be put back into balance, not the bank balance, the ecological balance. Observe what is going on now, it is clear that all is not well, all is not right with the world, our world, the one we all live in.
"BREAKING NEWS." Streaming underneath "a teenage boy and and girl went missing, parents are worried sick and it can be difficult to find them. " Those are the headlines of the news on a regular basis. "What's going to be today?"
In this season, the rains are beginning with intermittent drizzle and so the land is green. A teenage boy and girl's dead body would not be found for nearly a month. Man and woman, husband and wife, were shot and killed. Dead and injured bodies were littered everywhere, blood and tissue visible even through the dark rain; everyone is screaming and crying, everywhere is chaos.
The blame game ritual is well known, almost expected, as it is an inherent part of the political culture. The historic protest happened, on 29 July. The size and consequences of the rally was a surprise to almost everyone— academics, journalists, and the public. People had great expectations regarding Government performance.
Hence, when the Government administration failed to handle such crises and issues satisfactorily (in terms of both the lack of proper policies and the incompetence in communicating with the public),"guns fighting are everyday in Manipur as a clear and present danger to children and our lives."
It will never end. And how can we stop the violence ? These are questions that people are trying to answer as we attempt to understand this deadly tool of intimidation. Unpredictable events can happen anywhere and at any time.
The ongoing conflict has a strong impact on education, business, and many more. But life isn't always easy—it can change course in the blink of an eye. Children had to experience strong fears and horrors by gun attacks that have left a deep trauma.
The venomous cycle doesn't just end here. The trauma affects not only the victims, but also indirectly their children and sometimes even their grand children. The unthinkable has begun to happen in our society, the number of dead seems to be going up.
"Nonviolence is the law of the human race and is infinitely greater than and superior to brute force." Mahatama Gandhi was also the inspiration for civil rights and freedom across much of the world.
The concept of narcoterrorism originates from an understanding that the two phenomena of narcotics trafficking and terrorism are interconnected and subsequently a coordination of anti-drug and anti-terror policy can be used, and is necessary, to effectively deal with both threats.
That a link exists between the narcotics trade and terrorist organisations, as implied in the term narco-terrorism, has been known to exist for decades, yet the international focus on terrorism since 11 September 2001, has also increased the attention given to the phenomenon of narco-terrorism. Ongoing crisis changes everything.. This ongoing crisis destroys lives, livelihoods, and create chaos.
The farmhouse is abandoned, the fields are barren. 'Fighting terrorism is like being a goalkeeper. You can make a hundred brilliant saves but the only shot that people remember is the one that gets past you.' – said Paul Wilkinson.
The economic development of any State depends on four National economic sectors: transport, services, agriculture and production. Each Sector of the national economy has business of different sizes and values that contribute to overall GDP (Gross domestic product) Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in the economy.
Especially in job creation, promoting innovation, competitiveness and economic growth. Humanity is constantly faced with one problem or the other thus leaving man with no option but to always seek solutions to the myriad problems emanating from different sectors. Consequently, everyone in society craves for good governance, better living conditions, stable economy, security etc.
