No light at Assam-Nagaland Border

The sensitive border area of Sonapur is yet undevelopment. In mid-2007 the Naga intruded this area of Assam & killed several people. After that barbarous incident the Assam Govt. declared to set-up three border out posts (BOP) at Sonapur, Soraihujia & Borhula to protect the life and prosperity of the people.

The BOP of Sunapur was set-up on last 20th September 2007 with 50 nos battalions, but the Govt. is not yet provide adequate facilities to this B.O.P. They are facing the problem of drinking water, electricity etc. and the number of battalions are not sufficient to protect the border. Battalions are doing their duty in the light of harikan lamps.
