International Civil Aviation Day
International Civil Aviation Day was formed in 1994 by United
Nations with the help of Canadian government on December 7. Since
then, the day is recognized as International Civil Aviation Day.
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized
agency of the United Nations which was created to promote international
parameters and regulations essential for the security, efficiency and
regularity of air transport and serve as a medium for coordination in the
sector of civil aviation.
The purpose of the global celebration is to create and consolidate
worldwide awareness of the significance of international civil aviation in
the economic and social development of nations, and explain the role of
ICAO in promoting the safety, efficacy and consistency of international
transport.
ICAO has played a crucial role in supporting nations to maintain a
complex yet flexible structure of international regulations and bye laws
because of which air traffic has been safe and efficient to fly to any
country.
Various components have played a pivotal role in the significant
progress in co-operation between nations and international aviation
bodies like IATA, AFCAC and UNIDROIT and host of others. These
components consist of safety in air navigation, Environment, Air Transport,
Technical coordination and the Y2K hitch.
ICAO is committed to building a favorable environment for the
development of an air transport sector that is long lasting, caters to the
need of customer, and improves the standard of service and cut costs
while being secure, sure, efficient and globally competitive. This requires
multi-talented, committed and diligent individuals. There are multiple
opportunities in this sector and it is up to the youth to take benefit out of
them and have to have a demanding and fulfilling future “in the heavens”.
This may include passenger and cargo airlines, airport management
institutions, air traffic as well as economic and security regulators.
Since the outset, the vision for international aviation has been to
promote cordial relationship and understanding amongst peoples of
the entire world, as well as peace and progress based on a universal
air transport structure that would be functioned soundly and
economically, with equal opportunity to all.
The vision simultaneously became reality through ICAO promoting
global cooperation and consensus among 90 Member Countries to
create and maintain a systematic regulatory infrastructure, thereby
showcasing the immense economic, traditional and social benefits of
air transport to the whole populations around the world.

Located on the Northeastern
region of the country, Arunachal
Pradesh, popularly known as the
Land of the Rising Sun, prides
itself on its myriad tribes woven
together in a diverse but rich
cultural fabric. The tribes maintain
and express their sense of joy and
harmony and spiritual satiation in
the form of festivals celebrated in
different seasons of the year.
The Tai people, members of
one of the major tribes of
Arunachal, inhabit the lush green
southern part of Lohit district in the
Land of Golden Pagoda. The Tai
people are good craftsmen,
enterprising traders, expert
agriculturists and practice martial
arts (Soung) and Koboj which
earlier helped them resist the
British army.
Every festive occasion or
celebration of the Tai people
revolves around the principles and
teachings of Lord Buddha. All its
socio-cultural activities have been
truly religious. The essence of
festivals lies in bringing people

‘POI PEE MAU’, the New Year festival of the Tai people, is of paramount importance to uniting all Tais. Its importance as a powerful
heritage to preserve age old culture, tradition, literature and games & sports cannot be undermined. This Poi is a celebration of
oneness and a symbol to disseminate the rich cultural heritage and exotic cuisine of the Tai’s to the world.

Mountaineers:
A A Challenge. Challenge.
-K.N. Damo
The mountain lovers
attracted to the beauty of nature
and tempted to go down the
valleys and scale its height from
peak to peak, encountering with
obvious hardships and
challenges. But only few of them
are lucky to come across the
enchanting flora and fauna, many
of them are on the verge of
extinction which invites immediate
attention of local inhabitants,
nature lovers and concerned
authorities of the government.
There was lot of news in the
local dailies on the recent
expedition to Mount Gorichen
(originally known as Ghangri-
Chen - mighty glaciers) in Tawang
District sharing its border with
West Kameng district of Arunachal
Pradesh on the Mac Mohan Line.
The expedition has been jointly
organized by the Indian
Mountaineering Foundation (IMF),
New Delhi supported by the
Department of Sports and Youth
Affairs, Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh
for the first time. The team
comprising of renowned
mountaineers from Arunachal
Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh,
Jammu & Kashmir, Sikkim, North
Bengal, Meghalaya, Mizoram,
Assam, Manipur and ITBP has
conquered the sacred peak of
Ghangri-chen on 9 th Oct’2012 at
0700 hours. Though the success
of the premier expedition of the
Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh with
IMF has been praised everywhere
in the state including the
Government and IMF.
But at the same time, all
mountain lovers must understand
the consequences of the fast
decaying glaciers in the Arunachal
Himalayas, along with rest part of
the world, due to global warming
and human activities in the
Ziro, the headquarters of Lower Subansiri district
situated at an altitude above 5000 ft is a pine-clad plateau of
scenic grandeur and a tourist paradise. The area is rich in
bio -diversity having varied flora and fauna from sub tropical
to alpine forest. One of the oldest towns in Arunachal Pradesh,
Ziro represents a small but picturesque destination for its
natural beauty and is known for the vast Apatani plateau.
Located at 150 kms away from the state capital, Ziro is only
five hours drive from Itanagar.
Home to the Apatani tribe, Ziro is famous for the paddy
cum fish culture. This practice of rearing fish in the paddy
field is one unique feature for which Ziro is known all over, but
more than that the hallmark of Apatani agriculture is its
traditional irrigation system which has made the paddy cum
fish culture possible.
A number of important developmental projects which
included high altitude fish-seed farm and Ranganadi Hydel
Project (NEEPCO) are located in and around Ziro. The Tarin
Fish Farm, a beautiful high altitude fish farm where breeding
of high altitude fishes is done is located about 3.5 kms from
Hapoli Town, 7 kms from Ziro. Ziro Putu, also called as Army
Putu by the locals is a Hillock at old Ziro where an Army
cantonment was located in the sixties but shifted later. It is a
view point from where a bird’s eye view of the Ziro valley can
be seen. The Airstrip located beneath this hillock in the midst
of the paddy field is also worth witnessing.
Shiva Linga, with a height of 25 ft and width of 22 ft at
Kardo, about 4 kms away from Hapoli town, is a place of
religious and tourist interest where large number of devotees

have mentioned about the fast
melting glaciers in Arunachal
Himalayas during Flagging In
Ceremony on 22 nd Oct last and it
been noted by Shri Nabum Tuki,
Hon’ble Chief Minister of
Arunachal Pradesh who has
shown serious concern for
preservation of glaciers in the
Himalayas along-with the
promotion of adventure activities
in the mountains. He urged the
young mountaineers to be the
ambassadors for preservation of
glaciers in the Himalayas so as
to keep the perennial source of
together and spreading the
intrinsic values of their cultures
and traditions.
Being followers of Lord
Buddha, the Tai people are lovers
of peace and harmony. Thus, Poi
Pee Mau has always unfolded the
message of peace, harmony and
unity. Be it language, literature and
script, art and culture, games and
sports and food habits - all these
of the Tai people are unique and
beautiful. Their decency and
craftsmanship and their cuisine
reveal their love and taste of food,
while their sports show their
adeptness in the art of games.
Poi Pee Mau - a New Year
festival of the Tai people - is the
celebration of the advent of a new
dawn for the community to usher
a fresh era of socio-cultural
development. Poi Pee Mau is as
important as any other festival to
Tai people as this festival shows
our culture, tradition, customs,
lifestyle and beliefs in god. Thus,
the festival is the best way to

proper care for promotion of
adventure activities in the
Himalayas for which he assured
all possible support.
He also graciously
announced a cash award of Rs 1
lakh each to the members of the
expedition team as a good
gesture of good will. Indeed a
valuable incentive for the
mountaineers as mountaineering
is a costly affair like any other
adventure sport, and this will
certainly boost up the moral of the
young promising mountaineers
and nature lovers.
Expeditions picked up
momentum in Arunachal Pradesh
during the nineties, though some
un-recorded expeditions have
been revealed here and there
which lack the concrete evidence.
The first major civil expedition to
Mount Gorichen (Ghangri-Chen)
was by Assam Mountaineering
Association in 1994 that was
officially flagged off by the then
Chief Minister of Arunachal
Pradesh Shri Gegong Apang.
Since then several expeditions

32 kms north- east of Ziro with a diverse flora and fauna
ranging from sub-tropical to alpine forests, impenetrable
vegetations marked by silver fir trees, variety of rhododendron,
orchids, ferns and varieties of bamboo offers a perfect route
for trekking and other adventure lovers.
Rich in culture and tradition, Ziro is a prime attraction
for its tribal heritage and is one of the most beautiful hill
stations of the state of Arunachal Pradesh.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
Whereas, it has been brought to the notice of the undersigned that construction of CC drains is going on at
various places within RoW of NH52A from Itanagar to Banderdewa;

Whereas, it is also brought to the notice of the undersigned that many people have unauthorisedly started
constructing CC drains at various locations of NH52A without any valid order and authorization from the PWD Highway

2107 Poi Pee Mau...
respect the tradition and culture. This
festival brings co-operation and unity
among the people besides it gives
happiness, enjoyment and also
enhances living-standard of people
because this festival generate
income to the local community and
our nation and helps in preserving
our rich culture and heritage.
Poi Pee Mau is the biggest
festival of the community who reside
all over the world. Poi Pee Mau,
literally ‘the Tai New Year’, is
celebrated in November or
December to welcome the advent of
a new dawn of socio-cultural
development in the community. The
learned Tai people know that the
actual Pee Mau of the Tai should
begin on the first day of the first month,
which, according to the Tai calendar,
falls either towards the end of
November or early December.
January is the second month and April
is the fifth, not the first, in the Tai
calendar. We all know that Vesak,
Buddhist celebration falls on the sixth
month of the Tai calendar or in May in
the Gregorian calendar.
How and when did the Tai lunar
year begin is a question increasingly
asked among the Tai’s? It is largely
theoretical proposition, the nature of
controversy around most of the
calendars in the world; myths and
novelty are often associated with the
beginning of a calendar.
The idea of the festival was
conceived by the Tai Khampti
Development Society (TKDS) and it
is celebrated in accordance with the
ancient Tai calendar. The noble
initiative, with support from the
Khampti Singpho Council (KSC), is
aimed at reviving the tribe’s culture,
script, music and way of life, while
keeping pace with developments in
the modern world is a praiseworthy.
Among the heritage of the Tai
people are hundreds of volumes of
manuscripts, traditional medication
system, dances, martial arts,
handicrafts and delicious cuisine.

organizations including a Dutch
Team in 1996 and British Light Infantry
with Maratha Light Infantry in 1997.
However, expedition to Gorichen
(Ghangri-Chen) was suspended till
2011 after a fateful accident of 8
Maratha Light Infantry Expedition in
2000 when 2 members (Hav Bhagrit
Singh and Sep Purindra Patel) lost
their lives while descending after the
summit, 1 (Dorjee Sherpa from
Darjeeling) was evacuated in a critical
condition and 3 others including
myself returned safely from the peak
by late night.
With patrons such as deceased
Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu,
Governor JJ Singh, Chief Minister
Nabam Tuki and Minister Finance,
Planning & PWD Chou Na Mein,
Parliamentary Secretary for Animal
Husbandry Tiwa Mein and Local MLA
Sati Mein among others the TKDS
has made rapid progress in
acquainting the Tai youths with their
rich heritage, rescuing the Tai culture
from the threat of possible extinction,
and weaning the youth away from the
menace of opium and other drugs.
Equally importantly, the festival helps
sustain the prospects of the tourism
industry in Lohit district.
The initiative and the foundation
of the festival laid by the TKDS will
help the Tai people, especially the
youths, to propel themselves towards
a modern, vibrant and developed
society - a society that will be at par
with any developed society of the
world. To check these harmful bad
habits which are easy to acquire but
difficult to avoid, the initiative of the
TKDS to organize the Poi Pee Mau to
promote the Tai culture and tradition
and thereby bring awareness and
revolution among the Tai people,
especially the younger generations,
for all round development is
appreciable
The common platform in the
form of Poi Pee Mau provided to the
youth has relevantly changed the
mindset and helped them see the
brighter part of life. The Poi (festival)
has in the true sense made the
younger generations more
acquainted with at least the names
of different games and sports
disciplines, and also rescued the Tai
culture from the threat of possible
extinction.
The celebration of Poi Pee Mau
is designed in such a way that it will
become a platform to develop and
display the talents of the budding
artists and writers of the society. It will
also expose the tourism potential of
the area to the outer world and help
After a gap of 12 years, the
Indian Mountaineering Foundation,
Delhi with the support of Department
of Sports and Youth Affairs, Govt. of
Arunachal Pradesh have nominated
my name as Liaison Officer cum Field
Advisor for their First ever
Mountaineering Expedition to Mount
Ghangri-Chen as partner. I
acknowledge my gratitude to the
organizing bodies and also to my
authority for granting permission.
During the course of this mission, I
have observed drastic changes on
every front, particularly the routes
the unemployed youth get
employment under the tourism
sector.
Organizing the festival will
surely go a long way to inspire the
youths to come forward and protect
the identity and culture of the
community - be it today, tomorrow or
in the days to come. It also sustains
the prospects of tourism and
ultimately helps in strengthening the
society, the state and the nation as a
whole.
Poi Pee Mau is one such way
to showcase the cultural specialties
of the community. It represents the
cultural ethos, providing sustenance
to it and ultimately promotes tourism
and provides continuity to customs,
tradition and culture. The festival also
serves as an ideal platform for
showcasing the splendor of the
region with respect to its culture,
practices, crafts and arts, and can
effectively attempt to change the
stereotypical notions about the district
and the region as a whole. It will give
ample opportunity for everyone to
come together and rejoice this
change. The launching of the website
on the maiden Poi Pee Mau by the
Governor will bring all the Tai’s closer,
givethem exposure to the world and
foster universal brotherhood.
Poi Pee Mau is the occasion
when we think of each other more
and when our consciousness
meets; let this year Pee Mau give us
all strength to persevere with hope
for peace. Let this year Poi Pee Mau
give us strength to enhance both
education and wisdom with which
our younger generations will make
the progress we have been
dreaming to realize. And, let this Poi
Pee Mau makes us all stronger that
we can contribute to the world for the
better.
So join us in this fun filled
celebration and bask in the glory of
Tai people hospitality from 13 to 16

impact of SRF” -ONYOK PERTIN
DIPRO Yingkiong
The immediate impact of
preparation for celebration of Siang
River Festival (SRF) 2012 is the
regular social service and face-lift
work in last three weeks by the
inhabitants of Yingkiong township, a
remote district headquarters of Upper
Siang District. Supported by
Government employees and the
general public the Deputy
Commissioner, Liyon Borang, who
is also the chairman of the SRF feels
that besides showcasing the
indigenous rich cultural heritage,
tradition and tourism potentiality, the
essence of life is the word “Beauty”
and “Love” which are two sides of a
same coin which is nothing but
making oneself and others neat and
clean, hygienic and beauty which
ultimately leads to mental peace,
content and makes one self and
others feel happy and attractive.
‘Anchi’, is an Idu Mishmi folktale
that narrates the moral behind the
tradition to name the new born baby
within five days after birth! It is
otherwise believed that spirit or the
Khinu will name the baby and the child
will belong to him! Therefore during
the birth of a child, the Idu Mishmis
follow a special ritual ceremony
(Ahha-Tanye).
Once there lived an Idu Mishmi
man with his wife in the hills of
serenity. A cascading of the land. A
beautiful daughter was born to them.
But the parents could not decide on
her name even after fifth day of her
birth. And when they heard a bird’s
voice that spelled “Anchi-Anchi”. The
parents liked the chirp of the bird that
sat in front of the window near
apeidow, a fenced bamboo for cattle.
So they named their daughter ‘Anchi’.
Years later, when ‘Anchi’,
reached her teenage years. She was
betrothed to a young man of ‘Angolin
Village’. One day on her way to “Echie-
Chii-Demoho” (husband’s house),
a Khinu (spirit) caught her. A ‘Tug of
war’, ensued between the spirit and
her abeya-chimbeyei-allombo
(bride’s companions). Both sides
pulled the poor girl in opposite
directions. Anchi was in much pain.
And she requested her companions
to leave her as the pain was beyond
her control. Immediately a colossal

PASIGHAT, December 1:
To accelerate efforts and fight against
the deadly disease HIV/AIDS, the
World AIDS Day was observed at
Pasighat General Hospital.
To mark the event, the doctors
along with staff, NGOs and ANM
trainees took out a rally and moved
around the township with slogans
and banners ‘Stop AIDS, keep the
promise’. It was formally flagged-off
by the DC In-charge Nidhi Srivastava
amid huge gathering inside the
hospital campus.
The celebration is symbolically
a call to enhance social protection
mechanism and a symbol of
solidarity and support towards the
people living with HIV, stated
Srivastava during the observation.
She while advising the participants
to renew the commitment to fight
against AIDS informed that along with
the government, numerous social
welfare organization are constantly
striving and taking initiatives on AIDS
awareness to reach both in urban
and rural areas.
As part of the social service, the
inhabitants of respective sectors and
colonies have cleaned and swept
the drains, office complexes
removed the bushes, shrubs and dirt,
planted ornamental plants, white
washed the fencing walls, painted
building walls and roofs etc. The
helipad and its surrounding areas
have also been cleared of debris and
garbage.
The owners of the commercial
shops did not lagged behind, they
joined to clean their surroundings and
gave facelift to their building walls and
roofs. Consequently, after three weeks
of frequent social service, the overall
view of the Yingkiong township have
changed giving a better out look which
is more beautiful than ever before.
Observing the situation it can be
concluded that when there is a will,
there is a way. India can be one of the
few frontline nations in the world if
practice the same spirit of social
service and work culture and the
same is the case for the frontier state-
Arunachal Pradesh.
Keeping the main motto of
celebrating festivals like, Pangsau
Pass, Siang River, Kepangla for
showcasing the traditional culture and
traditions including beliefs, costumes,
food habits, etc, the spirit of a social
being, the work culture and the
balanced relations with the nature and
the environment should be
maintained. This will ensure healthy
living with sound mind and sound
health, promote brotherhood,
friendship, unity, communal harmony
and national integrity.
Come and mingle with the
people and enjoy the festivity with
rejoicing mood irrespective of caste
and class.
ANCHI: story of an Idu Mishmi girl
-Jonomo Rondo, ARO
thunderous voice was heard and
lovely ‘Anchi’ was lifted off the ground
and she disappeared. Alarm was
raised and fear gripped among her
companions. They hurriedly went to
the village and informed their Igu
(Priest). The Igu found out that ‘Anchi’
was the name suggested by the
spirit! Therefore she belonged to the
spirit (Khinu). Accordingly, the bridal
price was returned to the village.
Several years later, suddenly
‘Anchi’ returned home to her parents
accompanied by a Tiger. Her body
was completely covered with hair,
though earlier she was beautiful and
virgin girl with no hair on her body.
The village people were
apprehensive but Anchi pacified
them that the growth was natural as
she had stayed with her husband
(spirit). So her husband had sent with

price. But none of the villagers could
find a Mithun. Instead they saw only a
Tiger with her. ‘Anchi’ then took an
Inhu-to (sharp weapon) and struck
at the beast and killed it. Later the
body was cut into pieces and the meat
was distributed among the villagers.
‘Anchi’ then lived with her
parents in the village. Her parents one
day requested her to help them with
the farming. A violent sweeping of the
wind cleared the jungle within no
time. A large number of people had
gathered, but one could see the
invincible power. The food that was
offered was also eaten by unseen
powers.
Anchi one day took her one
garment and Eto-Ala (Cock) and told
her parents that as long as she is
alive the cock would crow and that
would be an indication of her
presence.
For five years, the people used
to see a garment spread out during
the sunny hot days in the distant hills
and heard the sound of Eto-Ala wunru
(Cock’s crow). Finally, a day arrived
when nothing was heard or seen. All
were then convinced that Anchi is no
more.

Adequate supply of plant

Generally they are supplied to

In nature there are certain
microorganisms and minute

to plants. Similarly some others

Rajya Sabha member Mukut Mithi,
who as Chief Minister during

to promotion of sports and culture
by organizing various sports

winning a friendly football match
as captain of CM-11 defeating the

Chief Minister Nabam Tuki
scored both the goals to the
thunderous applause of the
gathering, who keenly watched
the match that started hurriedly at

means of transmission. The
forum would also support any
government policy or enactment
of law to control the HIV/AIDS, he
said.
Since there is no definite
vaccine or medicine to cure HIV/
AIDS patients, it can only be
prevented by creating mass
awareness on the disease in
various mode of communication,
there is need of having a political
agenda through debates and
questions in the house of the
Assembly and through Ministerial
meetings. There is also need to
organize regular public or private
meetings with Ministers of the
state government and key civil
functionaries to include
awareness programmes of HIV/
AIDS into the existing
programmes of state government
departments, the Speaker felt.
The significance of
observing the day is to bring
together people from around the
world and to raise awareness
about HIV/AIDS and demonstrate
international solidarity in the face
of the pandemic. It is an
opportunity for public and private
partners to spread awareness
about the status of the disease
and encourage progress in HIV/
AIDS prevention, treatment and
care in high prevalence countries
and around the world .
We need to create the
conducive environment for HIV
infected persons so that they
could disclose their disease and
further help the Health agencies
on creating awareness on the
dreaded disease among the
masses.HIV related stigma and
discrimination severely hamper
efforts to effectively fight HIV/AIDS
epidemic. Fear of discrimination
often prevents people from
seeking treatment for AIDS or from
admitting their HIV status publicly.
People with or suspected of
having HIV are turned away from
health care services and
employment, or refused entry to a
foreign country. Cases of affected
persons being ostracized by their
nieghbours and from schools and
community is also a fact. Denial
goes hand in hand with
discrimination, with many people
continuing to deny that HIV exists
in their communities. Today, HIV/
AIDS threatens the welfare and
wellbeing of people throughout
the world.
To overcome the stigma and
discrimination and to change the
peoples’ attitude to AIDS and
people with HIV/AIDS, education
is needed for the common people
and to those with HIV/AIDS so that
they are able to challenge the
discrimination, stigma and denial
that they encounter. No policy or
law can alone combat HIV/AIDS
related discrimination. It will
continue to exist so long as
societies as a whole have a poor
understanding of HIV/AIDS and
the pain and suffering caused by
negative attitudes and
discriminatory practices. The fear
and prejudice that lie at the core
of the HIV/AIDS related
discrimination need to be tackled
at the community and national
levels. A more enabling
environment needs to be created
to increase the visibility of people
with HIV/AIDS as a normal part of
any society.
The presence of treatment
can make this task easier, where
there is the opportunity to live a
fulfilling and long life with HIV, to
disclose their status, and to seek
care if necessary. The task is
confront the fear-based message
and biased social attitudes, in
order to reduce the discrimination
and stigma of people living with
HIV/AIDS.
Expressing grave concern
over the spreading of the disease
engulfing the state capital and
spreading to other districts, he
felt that there is immediate need
to check the leakage of the
disease into the state.
Appreciating the role of
Arunachal Pradesh State AIDS
control Society, in checking the
spread of HIV/AIDS in the state,
he said, we should not be
complacent with the diminishing
infection rates but should work
harder to ensure that the state is
free from the dreaded disease.
In his key note address,
National AIDS Control
Organisation,Regional
Communication Officer,
Phungreiso Varu pointed out that
the adult HIV prevalence in
Arunachal Pradesh has continued
its steady decline as well from
0.18%in 2002 to 0.05% in 2006
yet in 2009 it has increased to
0.16% showing rising trends in
adult HIV prevalence in last four
years. He said, there is need for
a policy framework that
encourages involvement of local
self governments to address and
response to HIV/AIDS; be it related
to stigma, discrimination or any
other grievances of persons with
affected by HIV.
Jt.Director, Arunachal
Pradesh State AIDS control
Society, Dr. Riken Rina,through a
power point presentation brought

sombre person, Tuki’s hard

spontaneous applause.
“Officials are to serve the
people and provide them safety
and security. Do your duty with
sincerity without fear and favour. My
government is with you. Anti-social
elements and people who create
nuisance and disturb peace are to
be dealt with iron hands,” he said.
