New police station at Kamakhya
A new police station, in the Nilachal Hills, near Kamakhya Temple was inaugurated on Thursday in presence of IGP Central Western Range LR Bishnoi. The new outpost will better serve the people and add up for the temple security which comes on the wake of recent Bodh Gaya blast. "Kamakhya is a world famous place for tourist, and once in a year the big Ambubachi Mela takes place that attracts lakhs of tourists. Terrorists always keep an eye in such places. However there is no any threat to Kamakhya as of now, but this new police station will add up to the security measure for Kamakhya," said Bishnoi.

After the congress Tsunami in the 20011 election that left the political opposition horror-struck, now the million dollar question is about the functioning of the new government. Will the congress govern wisely? No Socrates and thus no philosopher kings, yet some feel that congress will do justice and corruption level will come down to some extent as because the congress has already looted for 10 years, on the other hand some feels, had the AGP came to power, corruption would have started right from the word “GO”.

No doubt that the AIUDF is a sister party of the Congress and the sentiments of the scrapping of the IMDT had paved its way for revolting against the congress. Thus Tarun...

Fallen from grace very gracefully and the laptops are ready to operate now. It was very unsatisfactory to hear some senior journalist saying if Journalist can travel on government concessions in trains, book flats and avail government facilities why not laptops. Will some one explain whether journalist are not common people and are not subjects of the country, do they don’t vote? Government facilities of traveling in train in concession can never be an excuse for, accepting laptops gracefully at a time which is too odd and any layman can understand this and have an impression. It is simply like inviting a friend to have breakfast in the dead of night. I believe the friend would be...
