Very happy to know that the association is continuing to do well and growing. I had the privilege of being the President of the association around 1981-82 when I was a Professor of IIT-Madras ( now Chennai). During Assam Movement, we published the Brahmaputra Beckons.

I can send some details if you send me a contact email address.
With best wishes to you all, Devdas Kakati. 05 December 2014.

AGP is holding a brainstorming meet in Guwahati on Saturday to arrive at a consensus on the withdrawal of suspension on Padma Hazarika.But the meeting will have hardly any outcome as the Sootea MLA and his supporters are conspicuous by their absence in the meeting.Acting on the advice of a circle of senior leaders to withdraw the suspension order, the party invited Hazarika to take a decision. But his absence seems to have forced the leadership to stall the process.
An eerie silence seems to have prevailed in Sonari a day after a local businessman died in miscreants’ attack in the heart of the town on Friday.Roads are wearing a deserted look as vehicles are refusing to ply from early in the morning. Shops and markets, schools and colleges have been remaining closed. Attendance in the banks and officers is thin under the impact of a 12 hour bandh called by the traders’ body.Notably, a businessman was killed hours after miscreants sprayed several rounds of bullets on his womb on Friday evening.Identified as Golap Lunawat, the local trader in Sonari breathed his last at 8-30 in the evening two hours after he was rushed to the Aditya Hospital.
Defying an inclement weather people are thronging in thousands in Mahmora to attend Dr Manmohan Singh’s poll rally on Saturday.Dr Singh, who represents Assam in Parliament is expected to arrive in Dibrugarh at 11 in the morning. Then he would straightly leave for Mahmora in Sivasagar to campaign for Jorhat candidate Bijoy Krishna Handique. Chief minister Tarun Gogoi along with APCC president Bhubneswar Kalita and Union minister Pawan Singh Ghatowar are scheduled to attend the huge rally.
The businessman who was shot at by miscreants in Sonari succumbed to his injuries at a private nursing home hours after he was rushed to it in Dibrugarh on Friday.Identified as Golap Lunawat, the local trader in Sonari breathed his last at 8-30 in the evening two hours after he was rushed to the Aditya Hospital.He sustained serious injuries at his womb when two motorcycle born youths pumped several rounds of bullets at him in front of the Sonari College in the evening.Lunawat fell on the spot and the miscreants managed to flee from the spot immediately after the firing.
A businessman sustained serious injury when pumped several rounds of bullets at him in Sivasagar district on Friday.The shoot out took place in front of the Sonari College at around 6-30 in the evening.Eyewitnesses told Assam Times that two motorcycle born started indiscriminate firing at the businessman as he was walking on the road.Identified as Golap Lunawat, the businessman fell on the spot and the miscreants managed to flee from the spot immediately after the firing.A grievously injured Lunawat was rushed to the Assam Medical College in Dibrugarh where his condition is said to be critical.
In a major relief for Akhil Gogoi, the Gauhati High Court on Friday granted bail to the KMSS president in three more cases.A bench of the High Court comprising Justice CR Sarma granted bail to the peasant leader in all the cases. The three cases were registered anew.Two cases came from Khetri police station while the another case was registered with Bharalumukh police station.The court took up the petition on Thursday. But could not pass its judgment due to non receipt of case diaries from the police.With this, Gogoi procured bail in all cases nearly a month after he was arrested initially in connection with the sensational self immolation case in Dispur.
Chief minister Tarun Gogoi launched yet another scathing attack on BJP and its prime ministerial candidate when he campaigned for Bijoy Krishna Handique in Sivasagar on Friday.In his address, Gogoi said that BJP has a black chapter in its history. Not only, he said that the party was responsible for Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination.“What to do? Will you vote for the Gandhi killer party? Or the party which has been serving the crores of poor people?” said Gogoi.He further said that Modi wind blows in the sky while Congress is attached to the ground.
A section of Congress leaders seem to have targeted media in the poll campaigns these days.Sonari MLA Sarat Borkotoky on Friday accused a section of media of campaigning for BJP. In his address at a poll rally in Sonari to campaign for BK Handique, the aged political leaders said that section of media has already been sold to BJP and that’s why, they are averse to give any publicity of what Handique has done.He, however, said that Handique will win the poll with flying colours.
Congress workers in Jorhat Lok sabha constituency are working with redouble vigour a day before prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s poll campaign on Saturday.Dr Singh, who represents Assam in Rajya Sabha is scheduled to arrive in Jorhat at 11 in the morning and would straightly leave for Sivasagar by a helicopter where he would attend poll rallies in Sivasagar and Mahmora to campaign for Bijoy Krishna Handique.Then he is scheduled to address another poll rally at Khumtai in Golaghat in the afternoon. Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and APCC president Bhubneswar kalita are also scheduled to attend the meeting.
