Dear Uttamda Floods bring very sad memories. Floods were regular features in our area (Bordoloni). In fact during our matric exam, the exam hall was under water upto ankle. It pushes back development by many years. Think of the common people who has no dry cloth to wear and no food to eat. Govt.

The ISI would foment trouble in India and the RAW would do the same in Pakistan. This is the game played by the States and is a part of the statecraft. What I find revolting is: the sight of the corpses of the Biharis ( some of them assimilated into the Oxomiya society and so the term is

Given the fact that the troublemakers are not going to go away, They shoul be nabbed. Some time back I think there was a report showing the Assam police is the most corrupt in India , so I would not set standards based on their wisdom. Umesh uttam borthakur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The ISI

It is mentioned in the report that the cost of the landfill has been estimated at Rs250 crores. How have they estimated the cost when the source of landfill and the delivery system are yet to be finalised? You do not know whether you are buying from public or private source, you do not know

Dear Uttam, An estimate is an estimate. It is based on past experience and data. The real cost could be lower. But that is not the issue here. If we can get free dredging of the Brahmaputra or a tributary, why not? That's what my question was about. Dilip Deka - Original Message From:
