The army helping Sattras? This is one news I didn't expect, given the often bad stuff we keep hearing about it.
Maybe times are a changin.

Army help to Sattras
Sir,– The recent appeal of the Asom Sattra Mahasabha to the Army to remove the encroachers from the Sattras of Asom is quite timely and as such a rightful step. It is unfortunate that sites of the Sattras being the sacred centres of Vaishnavite religion and culture have now been occupied illegally by some people.
The Kobaikata Sattra in Nagaon and the Patekibori Sattra in Morigaon district are almost occupied and surrounded by doubtful foreigners but the government has been the passive on-looker without any step to evict the encroachers. If the government remains silent the Army should take action to evict the encroachers from the Sattras of Asom in the greater interest of protecting and preserving the great ancient heritage of the Vaishnavite religion propounded by Mahapurush Sri Sri Sankardeva and Madhabdeva. – Yours etc., MD. IDRISH ALI, Baligaon, Morigaon.
