There is no law and order situation in BTAD area. Hagrama Mohilary and the Congress Government in Dispur is to be blame for the situation. Political Killings must be stopped else there will be no democracy in BTAD.

It is saddened to know about the death of Mr Narzary.
I really do not understand the ongoing fratricidal killings. The worst is yet come in next year as BTAD is going to hold election. I dont really think peace and harmony will return in BTAD area in near future. There has been always killing, threatening, and abducting in the region.
To my mind people should be reorganised strategically and throw out the politicians.I personally can not bear hearing the present situation in BTAD.
