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.

The mesmerizing forest cover of Sijubari village however misses the snow only, but the woods are lovely, deep and dark. At the very first sight of the forest one would naturally wonder as how these beautiful woods have not been affected by destruction that has deteriorated the forest scenario in the entire state of Assam. This normal forest cover engulfing the sijubari village is said to be more than 25 hectors of...
Talibans and their Law have earned a bad name through out the world of the civil society, and there is no denying their brutal attitude is as horrible as anyone can imagine.

Here the reference is being made to the recent incidents of women beating up girls and women in public place and in front of camera without even paying the least respect for the women community.

For me the greater Assamese society consists of those people...
Encountering a much unexpected thing might turn our head around any moment and make us ponder over a matter at the cost loosing a good sleep and even temporarily loosing appetite. It happened to me when I had heard from some one that Akhil Gogoi, the general secretary of Krishak Mukti Sangram Samity, owns a pajero. I know its not true yet the whole episode which included the reference of Akhil Gogoi having a pajero has more to do with the emotionally blind people of Assam.

The demand for Autonomous Council is not new in the politics of Assam, but how ever what would one comment on the demand for Autonomous Muslim council by Rashul Haque , who is now in the “Congress Gharana”, after being expelled from AUDF for same demand he had raised.
