    Peace is rare in the North-East, so one state has demanded that it should be rewarded for maintaining it. Earlier this week, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu sought Rs 500 crore as peace bonus from the Centre for the continuing calm in his state.

    Khandu met senior Central ministers to tell them there were no local militant outfits operating in Arunachal, unlike neighbouring Assam and Nagaland.

    Khandu’s plea found resonance in the ministries of Home and Finance, and it has been decided to set up an officers’ committee headed by Secretary (Expenditure) to ascertain the state’s revenue generation and shortfall to be funded. The panel has to submit its findings in two months.

    No offense meantBy: jambey | 25-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward 'ludicrous and unjustified',these words are up to some extent acceptable. But why is that an individual from nowhere has to call a person an illiterate with a begging bowl? What good have you done for the betterment of your place being a so called literate. How much good can you do for your society? leaving behind the educational merit,what moral conduct do you posses. He might be illiterate but has done countless things for the betterment of at least the people of his region. I doubt your educational merit(if only you have it). If you are from AP,then maybe you are too surviving because of the same bowl..No offense meant, provided the freedom of speech.. Need justification..
