                 '*Assam-Nagaland Border March'--- One-Day Drama*
**

     It is reported that the AASU planed to take out a march on Thurs, Aug
9, 2007, from Tsutapela Gate to New Chuntia along the Mariani- Mokokchung
Road which was foiled by the Police force. It is hoped that the Assam Police
would show the same vigour in checking intrusion from Naga encroachers.
Infact, of late, encroachers have turned more of scheming, ruthless
marauders.
          Also, the AASU members must be knowing that there is no point of
staging such one-day drama like taking out a procession to the inter-state
border. For, after the much-hyped event is over, these 'walkers' in
processions would leave the area, again to be tresspassed by armed
intruders. Do they plan long term measures like settling in the
Asam-Nagaland border areas ?  The problem needs lasting solution----

1.  If the Nagaland Government is giving a helping hand to Naga encroachers
     in order to encroach Asam territory, why can't the Asam Government too
     ensure that border villages are set up as *'human fencing'* ?
                                    *Thousands **of **people belonging to
the Bodo and *
*     Karbi community of the State **are **languishing in the refugee camps.
*
*     Numerous farmers have been **rendered **landless by floods. If only
the *
*     Asam Government makes a **move to settle** them in the areas of*
*     Assam-Nagaland border, a **formidable force along the** border *
*     comprising the Native population o**f the State would be created*
*     to** resist the problem of Naga **encroachment.*

2.  Police outposts have to be equipped with better connectivity. The State
     needs leaders who have a vision to make use of Information Technology
for
     Defense apart from its use in the education and service sector. In
short,
     better connectivity is the pre-requisite for protection of border
territories.
     This connectivity can be achieved by means of well-connected roads to
     interior places, setting up police or defense outposts near the
villages and
     connecting the village councils to the outposts through telephones,
     mobiles and internet (for which rural electrification is the foundation
stone).
               To achieve this, the people at the helm of affairs have to be
sincere
    committed and far-sighted--- elements which are lacking in the political

    leaders of the Asam.  No doubt, this has added fuel to the three burning
    problems of Asam --- Influx (from Bangladesh), Insurgency, Intrusion (by
    Nagaland).
                           Ironically, the self-proclaimed 'saviours' of the
State, i.e.,
    the 28 years old ULFA (United 'Liberation' Front of Asom) has maintained
a
    stoic silence regarding these issues, leave taking up any concrete step.



Yours etc.,
