Hi Rajiv This is indeed very interesting! Several years ago when my husband and I went to Digboi to visit my uncle, my cousin took us further east and we went by the begining of the Stillwell road. You right about how it has been neglected. Other than a weathered signboard there was nothing much to see there. Later I heard that it might be opened up for trade between India and China. But I hope India govt does not do that because Chinese influence will take over Assam just like it has happened in Tibet. Thanks. Aradhana
