Face the consequences: Dr Gohain

A huge public convention in Guwahati on Sunday warned the government of dire consequences if it retains anti people policies and resorts to dirty politics to spoil the real objective of an updated NRC. Addressing the day long convention, noted intellectual Dr Hiren Gohain said the governments both in Delhi and Dispur have been adopting anti people policies to force the common people to bear the brunt. "The anti people policies are responsible for the non stopped suicide of the farmers.

Threat of flood

Heavy rains in Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh threaten to submerge many parts of Assam during the next 24 hours. The water levels of the river Brahmaputra and her tributeries have started going up following the non stopped rainfalls from Friday in both the neighbouring states. The mighty river is flowing just an inch below the danger mark. But if this trend continues atleast ten to fifteen districts are likely to come under the surging waters. The worst-hit would be Lakhimpur and Dhemaji where the situation would worsen as soon as Arunachal Pradesh releases the excess waters from the hydel dams.According to the weathermen the situation would not improve for the next 48 hour.

Discontent in Congress

Problems after problems seem to have put Congress party in trouble hardly a year before the upcoming polls. A section of the APCC office bearers is quite unhappy with Anjan Dutta's new executive commitees. "Dutta should not have sidelined the senior leaders. This treatment would not help the party win the polls. We are shocked to have seen it," a senior party leader told Assam Times. Another leader deplored that the poll bound party needs fresh blood. But it need not disturb the senior potential leaders. "Dutta's new committe consists of many leaders who have been positioned as general secretary.

No trace of missing files

 Police have yet to get any clue of the two missing files belonging to the Kamrup(metro) deputy commissioner's office.
