It's really sad that Assam and the entire country as a whole is losing its Human Resource in this way. Encounters (many a times cold-blooded murders) are doing away with the Potential Human Resource (PHR) all over. There is misutilization by misguidance of this specific Resource, which holds hope for any society.
