The highly abnormal population growth in 2001 Census in respect of the four subdivisions, viz, , Mao-Karam (143.12 p.c.), Paomata (122.64 p.c.). Purul (168,78 p,c,), Chakpikarong (117.78 p'c,), revealed that all the government employees who took part in census operations in the subdivisions mentioned above were not reliable. Their performance was against the interest of the state, and it will be injustice an the part of the government to take up delimitation process on the basis of 2001 Census. The Government should have taken stern action against anyone. Who was responsible for abnormal population growth, but it has not done so far, Unless the Government takes necessary action to prevent this kind of dishonesty with firm determination without further delay,
the 2011 Census will not have value as it should have because there may be highly abnormal population growth not only in the four sub-divisions but also in other subdivisions, and this abnormal business will make the people of Manipur the laughing stock of the people of other states of India, As the saying goes, when character is lost, everything is lost, Justice is what makes a government strong. We must remember that it is only the righteousness of the people, and not corruption, which will enable Manipur to go forward, As long as we practice corruption, our statehood shall never bring peace and prosperity to Manipur.
Let us recall the words of Governor Ved Marwah which he had said in the year 2000: "If the insurgents are fighting for the people of Manipur, then they must take into account the hardships they are causing them. Manipur, instead of going forward, is going backward in almost every respect. All social and economic indicators are negetive. This process - needs to be reversed, But insurgency cannot be tackled without close involvement of the people. Government and security forces alone cannot fight it. It is the people who suffer and they cannot afford to the mute spectators to what is going on in Manipur today. They must raise their voice against blatant violation of the rule of law. No civil society can survive without the rule of law. The Government and security forces cannot enforce it without the cooperation of the people."
Before independence, in Manipur, the Sub-Divisional Officers were Europeans or Anglo Indians. They were able to maintain law and order in their respective subdivisions, The people could live in peace, The Sub-Divisional Officers of today are our own men. They are also expected to perform the duties efficiently. Nowadays, they are not up to the expectation of the people because they are no longer in a position to function in their respective headquarters. The State Government must find out the cause of this sad situation and rectify it at any cost to enable the officers to function in their respective headquarters. The people will feel that there is Government when the Deputy Commissioners and the Sub-Divisional Officers function efficiently and effectively within their respective Jurisdictions.
Let us ponder over the following Bible verses: "We may make our plans, but God has the last word. You may think everything you do is right, but the Lord judges your motives. Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out, Everything the Lord has made has its destiny and the destiny of the wicked is destruction, The Lord hates everyone who is arrogant; he will never let them escape punishment, Be loyal and faithful, and God will forgive your sin. Obey the Lord and nothing evil will happen to you. When you please the Lord, you can make your enemies into friends" (proverbs 16:1-7).
