Youths formed Utthan

By Ranjan K Baruah |
Moving from the world of digital connection some youths from Guwahati formed an organisation named 'Utthan'. The meeting was convened by some member from an online community named 'Axom: Amar Matrbhoomi'. Al together 18 young professional and student from different background came and discussed about the recent serial blast. The meeting was held at Bharalu in Guwahati. All the participants condemned the blast and asked the government to find out the culprits at an earliest and make the life of common citizen secure. The genesis of convening the meeting was spontaneous reaction to the serial blast that took place in 4 district of Assam on 30th October. All the participants felt that the state is going to face serious problem due to illegal migrants form Bangladesh and asked all the people to stand against the illegal migrants. The members also felt the threat to the culture and language due to increasing doubtful citizens. The members have shared their feeling and committed to work for restoring peace in Assam. They have conveyed another follow up meeting on 9th November to give a proper shape to the newly formed organsiation. Youths interested to join in the group may dial 98640 94137.
