Previous Gogoi government unnecessarily constituted development councils for their selfish political gains BY OUR STAFF REPORTER GUWAHATI, Nov 4: In the name of welfare of different communities, the previous Congress government in Assam constituted several development councils. Although in the beginning, the government tried to keep its focus on the welfare of these communities through these councils, later the focus got shifted to appeasement of a section of political leaders by the government, thereby diluting the very objective of these councils. Thirty one development councils were formed by the previous government and many of these were constituted even without taking practical aspects into consideration. Realizing the reasons for which the previous Congress government formed so many development councils in the State, the present BJP-led State government at Dispur dissolved all the development councils, excluding two, through a notification (No. TAD/BC/402/2016/104) ...

By RK Rishikesh Sinha Few months back, accidently I read about Jadav Payeng. The story of him simply filled me with joy and amazement. The amazing story of the person who single handedly without any outward support created a forest doesn’t require anyone’s introduction, today.  The forest created by him is called today ‘Molai’ forest, named after his pet name. It is situated in Jorhat, Assam, India. The whole day I spent reading and watching documentaries on Jadav Payeng. It began with a thought that got triggered with Delhi Government decision to follow even-and-odd formula for vehicular movement in the city. My thought on pollution led me to pour again extensively about Jadav Payeng.  Viewers can read about him here (that I found interesting): Jadav Payeng in Wikipedia , The Man who created a forest by Khaleej Times , Jadav Payeng website .

Courtesy: The Sentinel From our Staff Reporter SILCHAR, May 13: Keeping abreast with the rest of the State, the Congress in Barak Valley recorded a thumping as well as unbelievable victory by winning 13 out of 15 seats. In 2006, the Congress could not even win a single seat in Karimganj, but this time the ruling party, in spite of acute intra-party fight, won all the five seats. Even in Cachar, where the Congress had four MLAs, had bettered its tally by winning six out seven seats. On the other hand, Hailakandi could retain its tally of two intact, but this time Rahul Roy, who represented Algapur in the State Assembly, has lost the battle to Sahidul Alom Choudhury of the AGP.

Personal Jottings By RK Rishikesh Sinha Ramdhenu Assamese movie I wish to express my feelings associated with the Assamese movie Ramdhenu . Don’t get me wrong since writing on the movie it doesn’t mean to discourage cinemagoers to throng Gold Cinema. In contrast, it doesn’t mean a complete silence to be maintained; hitherto it is to bring the Assamese movie Ramdhenu and Assam film industry to a discussion. My close encounter with Assamese entertainment dates back to the year 1997 when I first landed in Guwahati. I was completely alien to the Assamese language; the fear that Assam (read Guwahati) is a terrorist-infested area, which was very natural coming from Kashmir, however soon withered away from my consciousness. Now after a decade when I don’t stay in the city, I feel those study days in Guwahati were indeed Ramdhenu days for me. Ten years down the memory lane, for me Ramdhenu was  Hiya Diya Niya , the much celebrated Assamese movie. We Hindi-speaking students foun...

Photo: Merinews.com By Rebati Mohan Sinha, Mumbai On October 30 in 2008, Assam had witnessed the bloodiest day in its history. Series of bomb blasts in different parts of the state left behind 90 people dead and injuring many. Never before it, had the people of Assam witnessed such calculated dastardly act of terror. One year has passed. But dreadful memories of the gruesome incident still lingers in people's mind. After one year, the question arises – how we shall remember this day? With anger or grief?  The immeasurable pain that the people of Assam have suffered, forgetting it as another run-of-the-mill terrorist attacks that the country have witnessed, is impossible to go. Especially for the victims of the bomb blasts, the day will be haunting them every time it will be mentioned, for its sheer horror, for its ceaseless terror that was trailing on this very day. For us who were glued to the television set, it was anger coursing in our veins. On one hand, the day...
