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! --Ram da On 3/27/07, Rajib Das <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
