Congratulation Ms S Gamlin. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT YOU PLEASE FOCUS ON ISSUES LIKE THE EXTRA ORDINARY NUMBER OF RAPES TAKING PLACE IN NCR. The Union Home Ministry in one year service , has failed to STOP this Horrible CRIME AGAINST Ordinary Citizen of NCR. WE hope and pray you give a "NEW DELHI" FREE of Rape CRIMES in less than 6 months. THE BJP Home Ministry has let us down several time with the multiple rape incidence. WE hope to tell the Home Ministry that RAPE IS ACTUALLY A CRIME and the Basic Right to be secure for every citizen of Delhi , Security is lacking in NCR which happens to be the Nation Capital. Ms S GAMLIN GIVE US A SECURE DELHI. JAI BHARAT

What triggered the flare up along the Assam-Nagaland border in Golaghat district? The answer is bizarre if one go through the home ministry report. According to the report sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the entire shocking episode was triggered by a trifle and dispute between Salman Sama, an Adivasi farmer and a Naga person Ekon Lotha. Then it took an ethnic turn when the Adivasi National Liberation Army took the side of Salman while NSCN-IM and Khole Kitovi backed Lotha.
