                 ' 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.

                                                                               Mrinmoy Barua,
                                                                               Navagraha Path,
                                                                               Guwahati - 781 003.
