Hi Rajib,
Looks like news was reported by a wire service called ANI. Most newspapers
(I think) reproduce news from their wire services. They only edit op eds
and 'letters to the editor'.
I say this, because often one sees news reports about Guwahati or even
places normally unheard of outside of Assam (like Chaparmukh or Jorabat) in
the US press. I have such items many a times in the Houston Chronicle.
The spelling of Guwahati is mostly correct. But one also comes across
'Gauhati'. Now, I am pretty sure, the editor of the Chronicle has no clue to
the spelling - he depends on wire services.
Maybe, someone who is familiar with such matters could shed some light.
In this case, though, I would put the onus on ANI. Hold on! why blame them,
if the State Govt. itself isn't sure what to use!

Has the Indian media started using Asom as well?
