Dear Mr. Baruah,
Its heartening to note that there are concerned people like your group. Im sure that all the efforts you are putting in will bear fruit. The crux of the problem... ( I feel) is the lack of a coordinated and orchestrated effort including all stakeholders ...especially the Govt. agencies. I justify my statement by pinpointing the present case- encroachment by bangladeshis. The present case in this context  is actually the proverbial "tip of the iceberg" and the only alternative to intervention by the Govt is a mass peoples movement!!. Furthermore, this problem is going to be magnified in the next decade or so due to environmental related migration. Felt I sould share some thoughts...
Regards and good luck
D. Paul

>As we all know , Pobitora is one of the 25th  Protected Area in Assam( five N. Park, eighteen W/L two Bird sanctuary) declares as Sanctuary in way back in July-1987. The sanctuary is divided in to two  parts. Main Pobitora  near Rajamayang village is having 27.82 sq KM area while the Burhamayang area consisting the hills covers an area of  11.01 Sq KM. Burhamayang wild life area is having river Brahmaputra in one side and Burhamayang and other villages in the other side. While going to the Chanaka village one has to cross over the Hiloykhunda sentry camp on the river bank and over  hill side of Burhamayang hill range. The Early Birds team recently visited the Chanaka village in connection with a cattle vaccination camp and found to its utter surprise that illegal migrants have build up thatch house numbering four/five next to the sentry camp! Assam is once again up with uproar against Bangladeshi’s and the Forest department is
 sitting tight with
>  doubtful citizen’s proximity just over its nose. If the Forest department is really suffering from incapacity let them take help from police or CRPF or any other force they consider to be fit for the job. Assam government had very recently allowed Army personnel to get involved in wild life affair and to assist Kaziranga and five other areas protection. Eviction/ poaching/ encroachment/ tree falling in other areas can also be resisted with the help of other Arm Forces if not Army. The Early Bird’s had  every reason to think that these sort of affairs, encroachment/ poaching are not reported by the Field level Forest officers to the higher ups and just wan to pass time without inviting any trouble. A recently filed RTA had revealed some shocking facts about Amchang W/L sanctuary, under the same Administrative control of Guwahati wild life city Div, on which Early Birds had already written to the Secretary ,MOEF Govt of India.
