ASSAM INFRA
STRUCTURE
One issue which I felt as a genuine need of
the Assam is a Railway line connecting the major cities of Assam: Guwahati,
Nogong, Jorhat, Xiboxagor, Dibrugarh etc. The British introduced the Railway
line in Assan in the 19th century mainly to carry Tea and Timber and thus
connecting the major Tea Gardens. etc Since then I don't think any
additional Railway lines have been laid by Assam govt.
I don't know if the above was ever put
in Assam Accord and who advised AASU. Probably not, because I have never heard
this. I don't know why the people of Assam donot feel it as a requirement
and why they are not asking the local govt to implement?
I wonder if there is any NGO in Assam to
discuss various issues for welfare of the state (such as the above) other than
say AASU. If Assam does not have such organisation, how Assamese people discuss
any issue at all? [I simply don't understand why the (say) people of
Jorhat or Xiboxagor cannot demand that they need a direct train from Jorhat or
Xiboxagor to Guwahati. Looks like in every step Assamese need to be told
what they need].
The above is just one example. I bet there
are many. For active participation in the democratic process, I think peoiple of
Assam must organise such NGOs where all major issues may be debated and
proposals taken to Assam govt and GOI to implement.
I think this is one
area, implementation of the grass-root democractic process, where the NRA
can help. People of Assam must have such NGOs so that they can take control of
the issues. I believe states like Kerela are very conscious. Frankly speaking
in Assam everything is all : Hobo Diok till
now.
