From Our Correspondent
GOLAGHAT, Nov 10 – The people of a vast area of Golaghat district, adjacent to the Assam-Nagaland border, have been badly neglected by the Government of Assam. The inhabitants of the sensitive border area, particularly Shisupani, Kashomari, Sarupani, Telishal, Velouguri, Ratanpur, Dayangpur and Kadamguri in ‘D’ sector of reserve forest area have been lacking bus communication for more than eight months.The Velouguri wooden bridge which is the most important bridge of Merapani-Uriamghat PWD road, was badly damaged eight months ago and since then it has not been repaired. As a result, buses and other vehicles have not plied on this road since. People of the big border area have no direct communication with Merapani and Golaghat district headquarter. People of the interior areas have to travel on foot a distance of above 15 km to reach Merapani. When this Correspondent recently visited the areas of Shishupani, Kashomari, Telishal, Merapani and Velouguri it was observed that the government has not paid interest to development in the areas.
The condition of primary and ME schools of the area are in very bad shape. The Shisupani high school, which was established in 1978, has been playing a pivotal role in the field of education among the children of the border area. But it is a matter of great surprise that this important high school has not yet been upgraded
