Very sad to know the news.This news was published very next day in bangalore TOI.Those guys should not have taken extreme step like this. Like them in search of job and higher payment,assamese guys comes out of there home state and live and work in all the big cities like Chennai,bangalore,Pune,Mumbai,Delhi.Educated and not able to have future scope in home state is acceptable to migrate but low end jobs like security jobs is worthless. These guys are living in pathetic conditions even though they earn min 5000+ but if ones compares with live standard and saving,its better to be at home state and innovate some good ideas to do business or work hard in agricultural fields.I donnot understand why all Assamese think living and working outside Assam makes them feel proud and if one resides in Assam thinks lower level and looks down.I analyzed,even many assamese working proff or students residing outside assam makes them feel aloof. And its also funny to say,assamese residing in Assam looks upon differently,gives importance to assamese residing outside assam.
