started moving unhindered

SRIHARIKOTA, July
22: India on Monday suc-
cessfully launched its
second moon mission
Chandrayaan-2 from its
most powerful rocket with
a plan to land the rover on
September 7 in the unex-
plored lunar south pole,
exactly a week after the
liftoff was aborted due to a
technical snag.
Carrying a “billion
dreams” in a giant leap for
the country’s ambitious low-
cost space programme, the
most complex and prestig-
ious mission ever undertak-
en by the Indian Space Re-
search Organisation (ISRO),
if successful, will also make
India the fourth country af-
ter Russia, the US and China
to pull off a soft landing on
the moon.
“We bounced back in fly-
ing colours after the earlier
technical snag. Success is
coming after a call-off,” said

GUWAHATI, July 22: A

Court tomorrow
and the All Assam
Students’ Union
(AASU) is hopeful
that the Apex
Court would fix a
date for the publication of the

RITURAJ BORTHAKUR
GUWAHATI, July 22:
Around 1.7 lakh hectares of
crop area in 30 districts has
been submerged by flood wa-
ters, of which around 93,000
hectares was under Sali
(Kharif) paddy.
According to Agriculture Di-
rector Manoj Kumar, the ex-
act loss in the natural calamity
is yet to be estimated by the
department. The number of
farm families hit is 6.24 lakhs.
“The total agricultural area
affected till date is around 1.7
lakh hectares. Not only pad-
dy, but various other crops,
Though these areas form
part of the Kaziranga-Karbi
Anglong Elephant Habitat
and are also the natural habi-
tats of many other species,
stone mining activities car-
ried out with impunity by
some unscrupulous business-
men with support from in-
fluential quarters, had made
movement of wild animals in
these areas impossible.
Stone mining activities in
these areas were banned by
the State forest department
on April 30, following a Su-
preme Court order issued on
April 12, 2019 in application

Major Cabinet decisions
● Free sugar to tea workers ● Agar trade centre

● Power subsidy ● GMC wards increased
● Subsidy on Edu loans ● New film policy
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, July 22: The
State Cabinet today took
some major decisions, which
included procurement and
distribution of free sugar to
the tea garden beneficiaries
under ANNA Scheme at 2 kg
per family per month.
Through the Assam Mu-
nicipal Amendment Act, ed-

20,000 hectares of land where
vegetables were grown was
also submerged, according to
reports from the districts.
Normally, Sali paddy farm-
ers in Assam start their nurs-
eries in June and the trans-
planting is done in July.
“The floods have hit the
farmers in two ways. Fifty
per cent of the farmers had
already done the transplant-

destroyed the crop. The wa-

Dredging of Brahmaputra
SPL CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI, July 22: The
Centre on Monday admitted
that national tenders for pro-
curement of dredger and ma-
chinery have already been in-
vited thrice but no proper
tender was received. The de-
partment has now invited
global tender and it is expect-
ed that work order for pro-
curement of dredger could
be issued shortly.
In reply to a question in
Lok Sabha by BJP MP Ka-
makhya Prasad Tasa, Minis-
ter of State for Jal Shakti Rat-
tan Lal Kataria clarified that
there is no such proposal
called ‘Brahmaputra Dress-
ing, 2018’. The Water Re-
sources Department, Gov-
ernment of Assam has not
prepared any concept paper
for dredging of the Brah-
maputra river, he added.
A meeting on the propos-
al of dredging of the Brah-
maputra river and its tribu-
taries was held on August
23, 2016, which was chaired
by Assam Chief Minister.
The meeting was also at-
tended by Dredging Corpo-
ration of India managing di-
rector Rajesh Tripathi.

ber, 2016. On July 21, 2017,
Assam Water Resources
Minister visited the Dredg-
ing Corporation of India head-
quarters in Visakhapatnam to
discuss the strategy of dredg-
ing the Brahmaputra.
During the Prime Minis-
ter’s Assam visit on July 1,
2017, the State government
requested the Union govern-
ment’s support for dredging
the Brahmaputra.
The report of the expert
committee as above was re-
ceived during September-
October, 2017.
In a meeting held on De-
cember 4, 2017 and chaired
by the Chief Minister, As-
sam, it was decided that the
State water resources de-
partment may procure a
dredger and other machinery
for the purpose. The admin-
istrative approval for pro-
curement of one dredger
along with other machinery
under SDRF was accorded in
January, 2018 for an amount
of Rs 18 crore.
As the river Brahmaputra
and its tributaries have inade-
quate capacity of the river
channel due to its braided na-
ture leading to spilling of flood
water and drainage conges-
tion, the State government
felt that dredging of the river
would improve the scenario.

Flood death

STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, July 22: The
total flood-related death toll
in the State during the cur-
rent year rose today to 67
with fresh reports of two
more deaths from Dhemaji
and Dhubri districts during
the past 24 hours.
Though dry weather condi-
tion in almost all parts of the
region during the past several
days resulted in the improve-
ment of the overall flood situ-
ation in the State, over 30 lakh
people in 2,283 villages under
59 revenue circles of the 18
districts of Dhemaji, Biswa-
nath, Darrang, Barpeta, Nal-
bari, Chirang, Bongaigaon,
Kokrajhar, Dhubri, South Sal-
mara, Goalpara, Kamrup,
Kamrup (M), Morigaon, Na-
gaon, Golaghat, Jorhat and Ca-
char, are still reeling under

State Disaster Management
Authority (ASDMA) here this
evening.
Presently, 644 relief camps
are operational in the districts
of Dhemaji, Biswanath, Dar-
rang, Barpeta, Chirang, Bon-
entists and said every Indian
is immensely proud today.
In a series of tweets, Modi
referred to the indigenous sys-
tems used in Chandrayaan-2
and said the mission is “Indian
at heart, Indian in spirit!...
“Efforts such as Chan-
drayaan-2 will further encour-
age our bright youngsters to-
wards science, top quality re-
search and innovation.”
The Prime Minister also
shared pictures of him watch-
ing the launch on a large
screen and shared his audio
message to the ISRO.
“Chandrayaan-2 is unique
because it will explore and
perform studies on the south
pole region of lunar terrain
which is not explored and
sampled by any past mission.
This mission will offer new
knowledge about the moon,”
Modi said.
The ISRO is aiming for a
soft landing of the lander in
the South Pole region of the
moon where no country has
gone so far.

‘Chandrayaan-2 launch shows India’s tech prowess’

NEW DELHI, July 22: As India’s
ambitious mission to the Moon suc-
cessfully took to the skies on Monday,
scientists across the country congrat-
ulated space agency ISRO and said it
is a demonstration of the country’s
technological excellence, scientific po-
tential and the spirit of exploration.
The powerful GSLV-MkIII-M1
rocket lifted-off from the Satish Dha-
wan Space Centre from the space-
port in Sriharikota and successfully
placed the 3,850-kg Chandrayaan-2
into the Earth’s orbit about 16 min-
utes later. The success came a week
after the launch was called off on July
15 following a technical glitch in the
three-stage rocket.
The Rs 978-crore mission will
mark a giant leap in India’s space re-
search and make it only the fourth
country to have landed a rover on
Moon. It will benefit almost every
citizen of the country and beyond,
several space scientists said.
“Congratulations to ISRO on a suc-
cessful launch, which is the first im-
portant step in a series of complex
steps that will culminate in the soft
landing of the lander and rover on
the Moon’s surface,” said Dibyendu
Nandi, professor at Kolkata’s Indian
Institute of Science Education and
Research (IISER).
“Today, as scientists and citizens, we
unite to hail the achievements of our
space scientists and engineers. Their
work has made us self-reliant in tele-
communications, geospatial imaging
and weather forecasting technologies
– advances that critically support our
growth as a nation, whose benefits
touch almost every citizen of this
country and beyond,” Nandi told PTI.
Sudip Bhattacharyya, associate pro-
fessor at Mumbai’s Tata Institute of
Fundamental Research (TIFR), add-
ed that Chandrayaan-2 is very impor-
tant for three reasons: demonstration
of technological excellence, scientific
potential and the spirit of exploration.
Bhattacharya said the successful
operation of the lander and the rover
of Chandrayaan-2 will be a big
progress in this direction.
“The current time will possibly be
remembered as the beginning of hu-
man exploration of the solar system,
and the Moon, being our nearest cos-
mic object, is our first place to set up
outposts for scientific experiments
and observations to understand the
Earth-Moon system, their origin and
evolution, for understanding the deep
space better, for technological tests
and demonstration, and for further
exploration,” Bhattacharyya said.
He added that further study of
water and its distribution in the
Moon by instruments on-board Chan-
drayaan-2 will be particularly impor-
tant, not only for scientific under-
standing in the fields of astronomy,
physics, chemistry and extraterres-
trial life, but also for setting up self-
sufficient human outposts.
“This a significant step forward for
Indian interplanetary mission,” agreed
Rajesh Kumble Nayak from IISER.
“India has already demonstrated
orbital injection and orbit transfer
technology needed for the task in ear- VISVA-BHARATI
lier missions such as Chandrayaan-1
and Mangalyaan. What is new and cru-
SANTINIKETAN
cial here is the soft-landing of the lu-
nar probe and the rover,” Nayak said.

Students should take Crediting Nehru for

up aerospace
engineering: HRD
NEW DELHI, July 22: Laud-
ing the successful launch of
Chandrayaan-2, the HRD Min-
istry on Monday encouraged
students to take up careers in
aerospace engineering and
said its ‘Swayam’ portal will
offer online courses on the
subject from July 29.
India on Monday successful-
ly launched its second lunar mis-
sion Chandrayaan-2 onboard its
powerful rocket GSLV-MkIII-
M1 from the Sriharikota space-
port to explore the uncharted
south pole of the celestial body
by landing a rover.
“ISRO will go ‘back to the
moon’ today. Learn Aerospace
Engineering with Swayam, who
knows, if you are a part of the
journey the next time,” the
Human Resource Development
(HRD) Ministry tweeted.
The ministry’s ‘Swayam’
portal will offer six online
courses in aerospace engineer-
ing and these will help stu-
dents acquire skills and knowl-
edge on designing, manufactur-
ing and maintenance of space-
craft, aircraft, missiles and
weapons systems.
The courses being offered on
the portal include the 12-week
‘Aircraft Stability and Control’
course and ‘Design of Fixed
Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehi-
cles’ course of eight weeks.
Both the courses will be con-
ducted by the Indian Institute
of Technology (IIT) Kanpur.
IIT Kanpur is conducting two
more courses ‘Introduction to
Ancient Indian Technology’ (8
weeks) and ‘Introduction to
Rocket Propulsion’ (12 weeks).
While IIT Bombay is offer-
ing a 12-week course in ‘In-
troduction to Aerospace En-
gineering/Flight’, IIT Kharag-
pur is offering a
yaan-2
eight-week
dra
course in
Chan unch
‘Vibration and
Structural Dy-
la
namics’.
Launched in 2016, the HRD
ministry’s ‘Swayam’ platform
hosts Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOC).
The geosynchronous satel-
lite launch vehicle lifted-off
from the Satish Dhawan Space
Centre at 2:43 pm and success-
fully placed the 3,850-kg Chan-
drayaan-2 into the earth orbit
about 16 minutes later.
The mission’s success
brought in huge relief for ISRO
scientists after the July 15
launch was called off just about
an hour left following a techni-
cal glitch in the rocket. – PTI
funding ISRO gets
Cong trolled
NEW DELHI, July 22: The
Congress on Monday was
trolled on Twitter for their
comments highlighting coun-
try’s first Prime Minister Ja-
waharlal Nehru’s role in pro-
viding funds for space re-
search, on a day India’s second
lunar space mission Chan-
drayaan-2 was launched.
Twitterati poked fun at the
Congress and accused it of
jumping to take credit for
“almost every-
thing”. They
also slammed
the Congress
mes of Nehru.
and posted me-
“This is a good time to re-
member the visionary move of
India’s first PM Pandit Jawahar-
lal Nehru to fund space research
through INCOSPAR in 1962
which later became ISRO. And
also Dr Manmohan Singh for
sanctioning the Chandrayaan-2
project in 2008,” the Congress
said minutes after Chandrayaan-
2 was launched from the Sriha-
rikota launch base.
After the Congress tweet
which evoked a tsunami of re-
actions, ‘Nehru’ became one
of the top trending words used
by netizens.
“This is a good time to re-
member the condition of ISRO
vs condition of Gandhi fami-
ly...” read a tweet.
Some of the memes, includ-
ed a picture of parts of a rock-
et being carried on a bicycle
and a bullock cart carrying
parts of ‘Aryabhatt’ satellite in
another.
“While ISRO scientists used
to carry satellite on bullock cart,
Indira had her grandchildren to
have grand birthday party on
airplane,” said another tweet.
“Nehru was the first person
to land on Moon,” mocked an-
other tweet.
“Seriously?? Who’s operat-
ing @INCIndia Twitter ac-
count? No fact checking before
crediting one’s hardwork and
sincerity to someone else,”
said a tweet.
“You guys don’t waste any
time, do you...,” said another
tweet dubbing it a “shame-
less” act.
“Whenever there is some-
thing Indian... Get a life! Just
give the credit to ISRO for
Chandrayaan-2 .......that’s all
there is..,” said yet another
tweet.
The BJP also attacked the
Congress and accused it of po-
liticising the event through its
“demeaning” remarks. – PTI

‘Sea Eagles’ to
help augment
surveillance in
east: Navy chief
CHENNAI, July 22: Naval
Chief Admiral Karambir Singh
on Monday commissioned the
Navy’s fifth Dornier squadron,
Sea Eagles, saying it would
augment surveillance in the
eastern seaboard.
Speaking at a ceremony
here, Singh said the Indian
Naval Air Squadron (INAS)
313 would enable faster re-
sponse to challenges at sea.
“The commissioning marks
a significant step towards aug-
menting the Indian Navy’s sur-
veillance in the eastern sea-
board, especially along Tamil
Nadu coast,” he said.
Stating that the Navy felt the
need to create an operational
base here, the Admiral said the
indigenously-built Dornier air-
craft, as part of the squadron,
would provide significant mar-
itime surveillance and contrib-
ute to domain awareness.

CPWD command centre to This would enable faster

response to challenges at sea,
he said, adding the squadron

monitor work across country would be handy while handing

NEW DELHI, July 22: The
CPWD has decided to set up
a ‘Central Command and
Control Centre’ for real-time
monitoring of department’s
work across the country, an
official said on Monday.
The command centre will
also act as an “online
knowledge bank” of the
Central Public Works
Department, which comes
under the Union Housing and
Urban Affairs Ministry, he
said.
According to the CPWD, it
will work as a “nerve
centre” for the critical
operations being executed by
the agency.
“There was a need to do
real-time monitoring of
department’s various works.
In view of this, CPWD
Director General Prabhakar
Singh has decided to set up a
Central Command and
Control Centre,” the official
said.
“All specialised activities

GUWAHATI, July 22: In a
bid to provide exposure to
students with disability who
have creative talent and a knack
for acting and theatre, the Sa-
chitra Puthi Sanskritik Gosthi
has started a special drama and
acting school in Guwahati.
Dibyanga Nat Vidyalaya will
provide one-year courses in
stage acting and acting in front
of camera to students with dif-
ferent forms of physical and
mental disabilities.
“Despite their limitations,
people with disability are mak-
ing a mark in various fields,
performing arts being one. Un-
like in the past, there are var-
ious platforms that give oppor-
tunities to such people to
showcase their talent, not just
boosting their confidence but
stable and socially acceptable,”
said Rajiv Kumar Saud, the
main trainer of the school who
has a vast experience of work-
ing with theatre for people
with disability.
Since the techniques used in
the theatre presentation of
people with disability are a lit-
tle different, the students need
some expert guidance and in-
dividual attention, which they
might not be able to get in a
regular theatre or acting school.
“Theatre performances are
all about coordination and lot of
love and passion for the art.
Though many such enthusias-
tic students are naturally en-
dowed with a creative streak
and the ability to express them-
selves, their skill needs special
support and training which can
add more confidence to their

Sundays at DRS Kids School

near Ganeshguri, the school
would also incorporate special
skill training on terracotta art,
mask making, etc. Classes
would start from August.
With the expansion of digit-
al media, a number of people
with disability are coming for-
ward to be a part of TV seri-
als, cinema and short films.
With the right guidance and
support, such students would
be able to carve a niche for
themselves in society.
“Apart from training the stu-
dents, we would also engage
them in meaningful projects like
short films and theatre presen-
tation, where they can get prac-
tical knowledge of working in

In addition, members of the

MANASH PRATIM DUTTA
GUWAHATI, July 22: Traffickers who
trade flood-affected children from the State,
may have changed their transit route this
year. For, the number of such cases re-
ported till date has fallen drastically.
This was the view expressed by a sec-
tion of activists working for prevention
of child trafficking in the State.
During the season of floods Assam
becomes the main target of child traf-
ficker gangs of the country as the natural
calamity makes life miserable for the
people, especially in rural areas.
“During floods a number of child traf-
ficking cases were reported in the State
in the last few years. As per previous
records, the main transit routes for traf-
fickers are the Rangia and Guwahati rail-
way stations. But this year so far no case
has been reported from these two plac-
es. So we feel the traffickers might have
changed their transit routes to evade vig-
ilance machineries,” Zubeen Mili of the
Bachpan Bachao Andolan told The As-
sam Tribune here today.
Mili informed that, instead of Rangia
and Guwahati, this year, trafficker gangs
may use Bongaigaon and New Cooch
Behar as their transit points.
“Trafficking gangs may take the chil-
dren to those transit points by road and
then transport them by train. We have
already communicated with all higher
officials of police to step up vigil on the
inter-state routes. During the season of
flood, around 500 children are trafficked
Trade in flood-affected
children from the State
from Assam to various parts of the coun-
try every year. Districts like Lakhim-
pur, Sonitpur, Darrang, Udalguri, Kokra-
jhar, Barpeta and Nagaon are the most
vulnerable areas. But this time no such
case has been reported yet, so we are
sure that they have changed their route,”
he asserted.
According to Mili, children in the 12-
16 age group are the most vulnerable.
Girls are trafficked to be used as domes-
tic helps or workers at brothels and boys
are trafficked to be engaged in various
industries.
“Of late, Karnataka and Andhra
Pradesh have become hubs of trafficked
boys as a large number of illegal fish pack-
aging industries have come up in these
two states. New Delhi and Mumbai are
the hub of trafficked girls. During floods,
trafficking cases increase because all of-
ficials concerned remain busy in relief
and rehabilitation work,” Mili added.
Meanwhile, Nilakshi Sarma, an official
of the city-based 181-women helpline cen-
tre stated that cases of trafficking which
are taking place during the current floods
will come to light after five to six months.
“During floods many parents tend to
hand over their children to the traffickers
who assure them of placement of their
wards in other places. In some cases, the
victim family avails a monthly income for a
few months. But within five to six months,
the victim family stops getting the money
and then they inform the police. As a re-
sult of this reporting many trafficking cas-
es come to light,” Nilakshi said.
It is noteworthy that the 181-women
helpline centre in Guwahati is yet to get any
case from the flood-affected areas of Assam.
However, their coordination with police and
other government machineries has been
disrupted due to the natural calamity.

NEET conducts summer

posing a threat to pedestrians and vehicles. – AT photo

workshops for children

GUWAHATI, July 22: The
North East Educational Trust
(NEET) conducted a series of
summer workshops on theatre,
mime, art, dance, reading and
writing between July 1 and July
20 with the aim of improving
children’s creative expression,
stated a press release.
At the culmination of the
workshops, a colourful event
“Ontorongo Aalaap” was held
at the Satya Nath Borah Hall on
July 21, which was attended by
around 160 people. The event
included dances, street plays,
mime performances, read-
alouds, story-telling, poetry rec-
itation and artwork by the chil-
dren who took part in the work-
shops.
Around 120 students from
government schools across Gu-
wahati, including Uzan Bazar
Govt High School, Kamrup Acad-
emy HS School, Cotton Colle-
giate, Chenikuthi LP School, and
Uzan Bazar LP School, took part
in the workshops.
The activities began with two
theatre workshops, a mime and
a reading and writing workshop
with students of Uzan Bazar
Govt High School, Kamrup
Academy and children of
NEET’s Community Library.
The theatre and mime work-
shops were conducted as part
of a public awareness campaign
on cleanliness in association with
Oil India Limited. The street
plays and mimes were per-
formed in six locations across
Guwahati on July 7.
The reading and writing
workshop was conducted with
30 children of Uzan Bazar
School, while the art workshop
was held at the NEET’s Com-
munity Library, where 36 chil-
dren took part. The dance work-
shop was also held at NEET’s
Community Library, where 38
children participated.
 6 THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI
MESSAGE FOR TODAY
The history of innovation is the story of ideas
that seemed dumb at the time..
– ANDY DUNN
Scripting history
The Chandrayaan 2 Lunar Mission, the second edi-
tion of the Chandrayaan series, is without doubt the
most ambitious space exploration project yet under-
taken by the Indian Space Research Organisation
(ISRO). Thus, when almost a week ago its launch had
to be aborted less than an hour before blast off be-
cause of the detection of a glitch, the entire nation
was disappointed, and it was considered to be a major
setback for ISRO. However, Indian space scientists
have proved their mettle by finding the cause of the
glitch, rectifying it and having another go in record
time. As ISRO Chairman K Sivan stated, “we fixed a
serious technical snag and ISRO bounced back with
flying colours.” It was a perfect lift off at 2.43 pm at
Sriharikota for the powerful GSLV Mk-III rocket which
took the Chandrayaan 2 into outer space and placed
it into Earth’s orbit. July 22, 2019, therefore would be
considered to be a red letter day for space explora-
tion by India. No one had expected the second at-
tempt to have come so soon after the aborted one,
which means that there would be almost no delay in
the lunar exploration schedule ISRO has set for it-
self. It must be noted that the Chandrayaan 2 Lunar
Mission is to be a precursor to a more ambitious at-
tempt by Indian scientists a few years hence – manned
lunar explorations!
But, of course, Chandrayaan 2 itself has chores to
perform. Built at a cost of Rs 978 crore, the mission
has a number of objectives, the most significant of
which is to explore an area of the moon’s South Polar
Region which had not yet been touched by other suc-
cessful lunar exploring nations like Russia, US and
China. It is equipped with an “orbiter,” which would
synchronize the descent of the lunar “lander,” named
Vikram in honour of eminent scientist Vikram Sarab-
hai, and enable control centre at Sriharikota to ensure
a soft landing on the surface of the moon. The third
component is the “rover,” which would explore the
area adjacent to the lander and send back invaluable
data on various aspects of the lunar surface, in partic-
ular the chemical composition of the soil at that point,
to find out if the moon possessed minerals that might
be useful for mankind. Sivan has dubbed this as “the
most complex mission ever undertaken by ISRO,” but
Indian scientists have even bigger challenges ahead
of them. The experience gleaned from this mission
and the technological breakthroughs it entailed would
equip them to plan out what promises to be another
enthralling adventure, sending Indian astronauts to
the moon. No doubt ISRO scientists have scripted his-
tory by successfully launching Chandrayaan 2. But
they cannot yet rest on their laurels for there is more
history to be scripted in the future.
Pollution threat
Air pollution levels have reached alarming levels
in the country. One in every eight deaths in India is
attributable to air pollution which now contributes to
more disease burden than smoking. The air pollution
levels in Guwahati are increasing alarmingly. The
writing on the wall is very clear. Unless some drastic
steps are not initiated, air pollution will emerge as a
major threat to health in Guwahati. A report of the
Pollution Control Board of Assam (PCBA) reveals that
black-carbon pollution levels are very high in Guwa-
hati. Vehicular emission, more so from the diesel ve-
hicles, is the main cause behind the increasing levels
of black carbon. With the vehicular traffic in Guwahati
increasing at a rapid rate with around 5000 new vehi-
cles being added every month, the pollution levels
are bound to increase. Increasing traffic in turn is
leading to higher emission levels. And the irony is
that the vehicular emission norms are being blatantly
flouted. The authorities are taking no tangible steps
to stop plying of vehicles which are flouting the emis-
sion norms. Dust along with vehicular emission forms
a toxic haze that hangs over the atmosphere for a
long period. What has compounded the problem is
that the greenery in and around Guwahati which ab-
sorbs the toxic gases is fast depleting. The threat
that air pollution poses can be gauged from the find-
ings of the Global Burden of Disease project and World
Bank analysis. The study reveals that air pollution
contributes to 1.2 million deaths in India annually.
The periodical monitoring of the city's ambient air qual-
ity indicates a high presence of both Reparable Suspend-
ed Particulate Matter (RSPM) and Suspended Particu-
late Matter (SPM) in the air often in excess of the per-
missible limits. The causes behind the deteriorating air
quality in the city are not hard to decipher. Along with the
rising black carbon levels, the dust pollution levels in
Guwahati are increasing alarmingly. A host of factors are
in play in aggravating the dust pollution. Due to the deg-
radation of the hills, rampant earth cutting, the loose top-
soil on the hills gets carried to the drains and roads in the
rain run-off. After the rains the loose soil on the roads and
drains compound the problem of dust pollution. The boom
in the construction activities, dumping of construction
materials in the open too have contributed in worsening
the air quality. It is time all the concerned authorities come
together and evolve a policy to tackle the increasing air
pollution. Stringent steps needs to be initiated to reduce
the vehicular pollution, stop earth cutting, embark plan-
tation drive in the hills, removing garbage dumps to con-
trol dust pollution. Prompt steps should be taken before
rising air pollution takes its toll.

some policy decisions or amendment

EDITOR
Sir, – Renowned city-based
engineer JN Khataniar, with his
extraordinary skills and scientific
expertise has developed a floating
house for the deluge-ravaged
people of Assam, the North-east
and the rest of the county. The
travails suffered by a section of
people, along with animals, both
wild and domestic amidst the
recent fury of flood that wreaked
havoc throughout the state is still
fresh in everybody’s mind.
I think Khataniar’s timely
innovation would undoubtedly
bring succour to the flood-affected
people of the state. As Khataniar
informed the press, the interest-
ing feature of his model house is –
it has to be fixed to PVC cham-
bers designed as a model with

the future, the government should

ed with short-term measures.

In wake of the above situation, a

briefing, the Jalshakti Mantri, has
It would be probably not out of
place to initiate discussions on one of
such important proposals in the Budg-
et which touched a raw nerve. This
is about taxation of high net worth
individuals (HNI) or the super rich.
The Finance (No. 2) Bill, 2019,
passed in Lok Sabha on 18th July, has
proposed a surcharge of 25% on the
income tax payable by those Individ-
uals, Hindu Undivided Families
(HUF), Association of Persons (AOP),
Body of Individuals (BOI) etc., who
have an annual income between Rs 2
crore and Rs 5 crore. This surcharge
is as high as 37% for such persons
having an income above Rs 5 crore.
With a maximum basic personal in-
come tax rate of 30%, surcharge @
37% on 30% and a further Health and
Education Cess @ 4% on the same,
the maximum personal income tax
rate has thus been pegged at 42.74%,
one of the highest in the world and
the highest in India since 1992.
People in favour of a higher per-
sonal income tax rate argue that
there are many countries where the
personal income tax rate is even high-
er than 50%. There are countries
like Sweden, Portugal, Japan, Den-
mark, Austria, Belgium, Nether-
lands, Finland, France, Israel and
Khataniar’s initiative laudable
space for domestic animals and
solar power panels on the sloped
roof to have electricity.
As the platform along with the
structure would be well attached
to suitable hooks, the house will
be adjustable with the rise or fall
of the water level of the river.
The house can withstand the
impact of thunder storm and
gusty wind too.
Khataniar is willing to get his
concept included under PMAY.
A good and right thinking
indeed. The Central government
and the ruling dispensation
should pay heed to his appeal
and should give due recognition
to Khataniar’s timely innovation
that would bring smiles to
crores of flood-affected people of
entire country, if possible, in
course of time of the entire
world too. Hats off to this great
innovator-engineer! The
government should endorse his
views in right earnest and
initiate practical steps so that his
dreams finally come true. Yours

Co-incidentally, the ambitious
Dibang Multi-Purpose HE project
(2880 MW) got the CCEA nod,
which apparently is a paradigm shift
from the earlier policy of commer-
cial harnessing of hydropower with
disregard to the ecological and so-
cio-economic aspects that matter.
The project having a huge flood
cushioning provision could mitigate
the effect of HE project-induced
floods in Assam. However, a burnt
child dreads the fire. There has
been so much misconception on HE
projects among the masses, for
whatever reason, that even the re-
cent positive change of policy could
hardly soothe the psyche of the
masses. The government has
enough to do to enlighten and as-
suage the people that such a prop-
erly planned multi-purpose project
could moderate the flood-effects in
the region, provided it could be
implemented. The conscientious
people should realize that a huge
amount of fund is required for pre-
vention of floods without any direct
return from such investment in the
present era of commercialization
with resource crunch of the gov-
ernment. Therefore, power gen-
eration must be associated with it
to ensure a semblance of break-
even of such an investment. We feel
that construction of micro or me-
dium-sized HE project could hard-
ly resolve the above-mentioned
equation connecting breakeven
point and investment mode. There-
fore, let the size of the dam be de-
cided scientifically without political-
isation of the issue.
care absolutely free to a substantially
large population. Moreover, the in-
crease in the surcharge also does not
appear to pass the test of mopping up
of substantial revenue. Based on the
statistics of submission of income tax
returns published by the Income Tax
Department, for the Assessment
year 2017-18 (Financial Year 2016-
17), it appears that about Rs 7,500
crore would be the collection of addi-
tional surcharge although the Gov-
ernment is hopeful of a collection of
about Rs 12,000 crore. But this may
also come with a heavy price. Pro-
gressive taxation, specifically unrea-
sonably high rate of taxation, is also
criticised on the reasoning that it tends
to stifle economic growth because it
can weaken entrepreneurship and in-
vestment as the people in high in-
come bracket generally carries on
such activities. In the Indian context,
it may constrain the super rich to
move to low tax countries. It may
also hit hard the Foreign Portfolio In-
vestors (FPI) which operates on trust
or on AOP form of business where
they will have to shell out more tax-
es. The FM however, brushed away
such apprehensions saying that the
share of such entities in this addition-
al revenue would be about Rs 400

growth. Again wastage of water
by people is also augmenting the
shortage. So the Government of
India is pondering over as to how
to mitigate the shortage. As such,
along with other measures, the
government is thinking of
initiating the water harvesting
process. It is going to make a
legislation to take up water
harvesting measure in every
house in their buildings and real
estate dealers in apartments. The
provision of this clause must be
included in the building bye-laws
of different concerned authori-
ties. I would also like to request
the government to fine people for
wastage of water. At the same
time, awareness programmes
with theme water scarcity, water
storage, no water wastage maybe
taken up by the government,

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
SHILLONG, July 22: The
field staff of GVK Emergency
Management and Research In-
stitute (EMRI) have called of
their strike following an emer-
gency meeting with the Meg-
halaya Government here today.
The meeting was held be-
tween the field staff and Health
Minister AL Hek here in which
it was decided that a committee
would be formed to look into
the grievances of the workers.
The committee would be
headed by the Health Secre-
other officials from the Trans-
port and Labour departments.
It would also include four
members from the workers
side and three from the man-
agement. “We want that health
services is maintained at all
cost. So we are glad they have
called off their strike and work
has resumed from this
evening,” the Minister added.
The committee would first
look into the demands of the
field staff and try to find a reso-
lution within the next two
months, EMRI employees said
after the meeting. The first
36-point charter of demands,
which included salary hike,
transfer of management from
GVK to the State Govern-
ment, stop transfer of staff, re-
placement of old vehicles, serv-
ice rules and others.
Hek said after the meeting
that he held a separate meeting
with the management of GVK
and asked that status quo should
be maintained as far as the show-
cause notices, termination let-
ters and transfer orders given.
“While the committee delib-
erates on finding a resolution
to the demands, status quo will
agement,” Hek informed.
Earlier, State Governor
Tathagata Roy promulgated
the Meghalaya Essential Serv-
ices Maintenance Act which
prohibited field staff of EMRI
to go on strike. Nonetheless,
the workers did go on a strike
from Friday and services were
disrupted to an extent.
Hek said the order would be
in place as the Government
doesn’t want the health servic-

Mentally challenged man steals police gun, mob attacks PS

Sd/- Dr. Hrishikesh Baruah
Principal. K.C. Das Commerce College.

CORRESPONDENT
AMPATI, July 22: Fuelled by ru-
mours of a mentally challenged man
shot dead by the police, a mob of close
to 400 people attacked the Mahendra-
ganj police station this morning. The
mob even tried to set the police sta-
tion and a fire tender on fire after dam-
aging many government vehicles.
The mob, however, dispersed after
police fired a few rounds in the air.
The incident took place at about 11
am today after which Sec 144 CrPC
was imposed on the Bangladesh bor-
der areas in South West Garo Hills
(SWGH) district.
Incidentally, the mob attack today was
after another that took place last evening.
According to information received,
Mahendraganj police received a desper-
ate call from residents about a mentally
challenged middle-aged man wielding a
‘dao’ and trying to attack people along
the PWD road.
When the police reached the spot,
the man tried to attack the police.
While attempting to evade the attack a
police battalion constable fell into the
flood waters. As he was trying to get
up the mentally challenged man
snatched his Insas rifle and pointed the
gun at the rest of the police team.
When he refused to drop the gun, a
sub-inspector fired a shot in the air from
his service pistol but instead of letting go
of the automatic rifle the man ran away
with the weapon and has not been found.
Police searched for the man
throughout the night in an effort to
recover the gun. While the search was
on, rumours of the mentally chal-
lenged man being killed by the police
began doing the rounds.
This morning, around 400 people gh-
eraoed the Mahendraganj Police Station
looking for the body of the man. The
mob began pelting stones and damaged
a parked fire tender and windows of the
police station. Circle Inspector CD Shira
was injured in the stone pelting. Many
cars parked within the PS were also dam-
aged by the mob.
Police initially used tear gas to dis-
perse the crowd. However, when the
mob tried to burn down the fire tender,
police resorted to blank firing after which
the crowd dispersed.
“The situation is now under control.
We are still searching for the man who
took away the police rifle. All this hap-
pened because of rumours,” said
Rithuraj Ravi, SP, WGH, who is also
camping at Mahendraganj.

Hidden flood relief material helping hand to the distressed
found, probe demanded CORRESPONDENT

BARPETA, July 22: The dis-

CORRESPONDENT
MANGALDAI, July 22: Sensation
prevailed among the flood-ravaged vil-
lagers of Aaglachar under Puthimari
Gaon Panchayat under Mangaldai Rev-
enue Circle following the recovery of
a large quantity of government-sanc-
tioned flood relief material, namely
foodstuff, probably meant for sale in
the black market.
Local people of Aaglachar alleged that
45 bags of rice, 12 bags of masoor dal
and two bags of salt covered with a
blue tarpaulin sheet were recovered
on Sunday by members of the public
from an abandoned maize-growing plot
of land located along the Brahmaputra
under Shyampur Police Station in
Darrang district.
On the basis of public information,
police later seized the items. Local peo-
ple claimed that the president and sec-
retary of Puthimari Gaon Panchayat on
July 18 last received around 80 quintals
of rice, 13 quintals of masoor dal and
two quintals of salt for the people of
five flood-ravaged villages under the
Gaon Panchayat, including more than
28 quintals of rice, five quintals of dal
and one-and-a-half quintals of salt for
Aaglachar from the concerned author-
ity of the district administration for
emergency distribution.
However, the Panchayat officials de-
prived the flood victims from their
due and till the dramatic recovery on
July 21, kept the relief material hidden
in an abandoned maize-growing plot of
land allegedly with an evil intention to
sell it in the black market.
Surprisingly, the otherwise strong
monitoring mechanism of the district
administration allegedly failed to en-
sure receipt of the goods by the con-
cerned flood victims till the following
three days.
Meanwhile, on being asked
telephonically, Deputy Superintendent
of Police (HQ), Darrang, Mamoni
Hazarika while talking to this Corre-
spondent simply stated that details of
the case were awaited.
On the other hand, Circle Officer of
Mangaldai Revenue Circle Dipsikha
Saikia was not available for her com-
ments on the issue.
The local people have obviously de-
manded early identification of the dis-
honest racket involved in the illegal
practice and sought a high-level inquiry
followed by exemplary punishment to
the guilty under the provision of law.
Golaghat
district hit
trict administration here has
been providing relief material
to the flood-affected people
like rice, dal, salt, wheat bran,
drinking water etc.
Though the items supplied
so far are not adequate for
equal distribution among the
flood-hit multitude, yet they
have brought some succour to
the marooned people. At the
same time, a number of be-
nevolent persons, NGOs and
organisations have come for-
ward to help the distressed
people who have been reeling
under the onslaught of floods
and compelled to live a miser-
able life on roads, embank-
ments or relief camps.
The Red Horns Division of
the Indian Army based at Ga-
nakkuchi near Barpeta organ-
ised health check-up camps for
the flood-affected people in the
vicinity of the town. More than
2,000 flood-affected people of
Patbausi, Kahikuchi, Majkuchi
and Ganakkuchi availed the fa-
cilities offered at the health
check-up camps. The patients
were provided the required
medicines free of cost.
Renowned artiste Dikshu
arrived here on Saturday and
visited the flood-affected are-
as. He distributed food items
like rice, dal, flattened rice,
puffed rice, biscuits, mustard
oil and clothes to those people
putting up in the relief camps
and makeshift tents along the
roadside.
The artiste was accompa-
nied by a number of his col-
leagues as the drive was or-
ganised by Dikshu Initiative,
an organisation of his follow-
ers. Expressing shock over the
devastation caused by the flood
in Barpeta district, Dikshu said
that he will continue to help
the distressed people with the
limited resources available
with him. He also informed
that several artistes under the
leadership of Zubeen Garg will
organise a special drive to col-
lect flood relief in Guwahati
very soon.
In the meantime, NGO
Medini provided food and san-
itary items to the inmates of
the relief camps of Baniyakuchi
Primary School, Panchagram
Prgati Sangh, Bengapara LP
School, Kamarpara LP School,
Lachima Kirtanghar and
Sarukshetri High School un-
der Sarthebari Revenue Cir-
cle. The volunteers of the
NGO also reached the people
living in the roadside areas.
Sarthebari Panchkhel Gaya
Gayaraha too provided a huge
quantity of relief material to
the flood victims under their
jurisdiction. Assam Bel Metal
Utensils Co-Operative Socie-
ty helped the victims by pro-
viding food.
Several groups of youth
though unorganised helped the
victims of the calamity to a
great extent. Workers of the
ruling BJP also reached the vic-
tims with food and sanitary
items. Apart from them, a
number of benevolent persons
were seen providing a helping
hand. The assistance of the be-
nevolent organisations and per-
sons have not only relieved the
afflicted people of their woes
but also enhanced their mental
strength to fight and surmount
the momentary odds.
What ails the suffering peo-
ple is that some political par-
ties and organisations who of-
ten approach them for partici-
pating in agitations on issues
concerning the state, have not
enquired about their collective
plight at this hour of distress.
It is a matter of grave concern
that a few political parties, of-
ten claiming to represent
farmers and the labour class,
have refrained from visiting to
flood-affected areas and taking
stock of the marooned peo-
ple’s welfare.

DERGAON, July 22: Dearth

healthcare services within the
district.
Most of the hospitals or

The Joint Director of Health

BARPETA, July 22: The Deputy Com-
missioner of Barpeta Munindra Sarma vis-
ited a number of relief camps of the district
to have a first hand knowledge about the
plight of the flood-affected people taking
shelter there.
Sarma arrived in the camps established
in Nagaon Siksha Mandir High School, Na-
gaon LP School, Nagaon Community Hall
and Bhella Higher Secondary School and
interacted with the inmates.
The head of the district took some steps
on the spot to address the grievences of the
camp inmates. He assured that adequate
measures have been taken to compensate
losses sustained by the flood-hit people. He
informed that an amount of Rs 1.05 lakh is
due to those who lost their dwelling houses
during the deluge.
Moreover, owners of partially damaged
houses will get compensation as per laid
down rules. An amount of Rs 3,800 will be
provided to the camp inmates to purchase
utensils and clothing.
The Deputy Commissioner also visited
Nagaon PHC where the incumbent phar-
macist was absent. He warned that absence
on the plea of a holiday will not be accepted
during the onslaught of the present wave of
floods. He directed the Joint Director of
Health Services to ensure regular visit of
doctors to the relief camps and expedite
the process of treatment during the period
of crisis.
The Vice Chairman of Assam Industrial
Development Corporation and Assam Fi-
nancial Corporation respectively Jitu Taluk-
dar and Anil Kumar Das, District Informa-
tion and Public Relations Officer Bikash Sar-
ma and Circle Officer of Chenga Revenue
Circle Rajib Das also accompanied the Dep-
uty Commissioner during the tour.
Meanwhile, the flood situation in the dis-
trict improved slightly on Sunday. Except
for the Brahmaputra, all the rivers were flow-
ing below the danger mark with a receding
trend. People began returning home from
the relief camps in some areas of the district.
But in spite of improvement in the flood
scenario, about 11 lakh people are still suf-
fering from the death and devastation left
behind by this wave of floods. Most of the
roads in the district are still submerged or
broken and have not been accessible so far.
People in some parts, especially under
Sarthebari and Barpeta revenue circle are
still marooned, thereby making their lives
miserable.
Though electricity has been restored af-
ter a long wait, however the supply is yet to
be regularised, which have added salt to the
injuries of the people languishing under hor-
rible living conditions outside their homes,
i.e., on the roads and embankments.

like the seasonal floods, etc.
“At present, a total of 11
posts of doctors are lying va-
cant, where six of M&HO-I
and others of Senior Medical

At the Swahid Kamala Miri
Sub Divisional Hospital, all the
four sanctioned posts of
M&HO-I are lying vacant.

Keshabananda Sarma: a tribute

The state lost a multi-faceted personality
like Keshabananda Sarma on July 14. He was
a prolific writer, a thinker, social worker, an
actor and a highly revered priest of Kama-
khya Dham. He was elected councilor of the
first GMC from Maligaon/Kamakhya ward
of the city in 1974.
Sarma had an eye for details. He contrib-
uted extensively in the ‘Letters to the Edi-
tor’ column of vernacular dailies from the
early 60’s till a few years ago. The impact of
a good number of his letters was enormous
as the Govt of Assam implemented some of
his suggestions on diverse burning topics.
Gauging the worth of his writings, the then
Editor of Ajir Asom urged him to publish all
his letters in book form, which he published
as a book titled Beberibang in 2012. This
book is a good source of information about

be mentioned here that he was the first found-

Society. He was also the president of Mouza-
dar/Mondol Congress in 1962.
Born in 1922, he was witness to the growth
of Guwahati for about 77 years after inde-
pendence. The Hindustan Times published
a special article on March 24, 2001 regard-
ing his writings on Assam and Assamese so-
ciety, his activities on social beloningness along
with his deep knowledge about Hindu Vedic
culture. Sarma was quite active till a few years
back. He even walked to Kamakhya hill-top
in his mid 90’s.
Today on the occasion of his adyasraddha
ceremony, we pray that his soul may find
eternal peace. I believe his activities are
enough to keep his memory alive forever in
our society.

Changing the cityscape
A
s a city grows, one witnesses the
birth of cultural spaces where in-
teractions occur and things happen
to emerge out of this interaction,
changing the city forever. For the
longest time in Guwahati, I felt these import-
ant landmarks to be either missing or confined
to a very traditional echo-chamber. However,
the birth of a plethora of very dynamic and
alternate performance spaces in the last two
years has started to change that. NEthing,
Maati Centre, Studio Nilima, Komorebi Art
Room, Thologiri are all wonderful examples
of spaces that are adding character, conscious-
ness and culture through the performing arts
and building a young community of artistes.
The most exciting addition to this list has
been that of Agora - The Space, at Bamuni-
maidam, Guwahati. At a whopping 5,000 sq.
ft area, the L-shaped Agora rejects all con-
ventional categories of a performance space.
Its first exhibition – ‘Porisoy’ had given one
a glimpse of the space’s unique dynamism
to accommodate art forms of all kinds and
across all genres. And, with its first full-length
production, Sentenced., staged on June 28-29,
it has shown the way towards the first in line
of many experimental pieces that the space
would be nurturing.
Directed and written by Radhika Goswami,
with Raktim Gautam as the co-writer, the play

R association with the Directorate of Cultural Af-

Kathak abhinaya workshop
T he Nupur Cultural Academy of Guwahati or-
ganised a workshop on abhinaya (Ashtapadi) at
the Pandit Tirtha Nath Sarma Bhawan, Guwahati
from July 7-10. “The workshop was conducted by
the New Delhi-based renowned Kathak guru of
India, Jayant Kastuar. He spoke about abhinaya in
dance, including the expressions of eyes, lips and
other parts of the face. The abhinaya was done on
the Ashtapadi written by Sanskrit poet Jayadeva
in the 12th century. Ten students participated in
the workshop,” informed Monisha Devi Goswami
of the Nupur Cultural Academy.

The fourth dispatch – which was personally
the most intimate one, combines a powerful
recital by Biplob with a discomforting local
reality. It explores a broken family governed
by a patriarch and here the script is at its

the concerns of the millennial generation and

Creating a vast canvas
P
urabi Bormudoi, who passed
away on July 15, 2019, was
one of the finest historical
novelists and chroniclers of
human-nonhuman rela-
tionships in the world of Assamese
fiction. Born in 1950 in Tezpur,
Bormudoi is the author of acclaimed
novels like Gajaraj Prem Aru Ban-
dityo, Rupowali Noi Xunowali Ghat,
Eta Alibator Itikatha, Baghxal Baghjal
Aru Manuh and Santanukulanandan
(which won the Sahitya Academy
Award in 2007). She also wrote numer-
ous short stories and won acclaim as
a poet as well. Eta Alibator Itikatha,
inspired by Donovan Webster’s The
Burma Road, is a fictional retelling of
the construction of the Stilwell Road.
It is among the very few Assamese
novels on the experience of WWII—
Debendranath Acharya’s Jangam,
Jogesh Das’s Dawar Aru Nai and Bi-
rendra Kumar Bhattacharyya’s Yaruy-
ingam being a few other notable titles
on this important historical period. Eta
Alibatar Itikatha is a straightforward
realist example of historical mime-
sis; the genre-bending and complex
Santanukulanandan, on the other
hand, merges history, mythology and
folklore to narrate the history of the
Brahmaputra and its naming. Set in
ancient Kamrup, Santanukulanandan
is simultaneously a chronicle of a river
and the river’s impact on the growth
of a civilisation. Barmudoi’s dexterity
in handling a vast historical canvas is
also evident in Rupowali Noi Xunow-
ali Ghat. Set in 19th century Assam,
the novel depicts a period of massive
social churning – ranging from the
aftermath of the Moamaria Revolt to a
brief episode from Maniram Dewan’s
life. As in the finest historical novels,
the broad canvas of history is focalised
through the life story of the major
character, Harakanta Sadaram, who
was born in Jorhat in 1815 during
the height of the Burmese invasions.
A
name familiar to all of us, Guna-
kar Dev Goswami is an eminent
theatre personality known for his
passion and dedication towards
theatre and its craft. A string of
events all blend into one seamless thread in
Gunakar Dev Goswami’s plays. His latest
play – Abhigyanam (The Journey of the Ring)
was recently staged at the Duliajan Club on
July 11, 2019, under its banner. It’s a dance
drama based on Kalidasa’s Shakuntala, widely
considered a masterpiece. Abhigyanam is a
one-of-its-kind work, which incorporates ele-
ments from the age-old tradition of storytelling.
An amalgamation of mythology and morality,
it also includes facets of Assam’s traditional
dance drama – Sattriya.
Abhigyanam tells the story of the protago-
nist, a young woman named Shakuntala who
meets King Dushyanta. They fall in love and
King Dushyanta marries Shakuntala, and
gives her a wedding ring. But, owing to a
curse by Rishi Durbasha, he forgets her. The
sage says that he cannot undo the curse but
if Shakuntala shows Dushyanta the wedding
ring he had given her, he will remember her
again. Eventually, he regains his memory
prelude
The content, origin and writing of the Puranas is
a matter of dispute, some historians are of the view
that they were written at different periods of history
and their content was moulded and shaped from time
to time. Some historians have described them as
hypothetical, fictional and mythical and according to one
theory, the Puranas were written for the Shudras – who
were less educated and intellectually underdeveloped.
The Matsya Purana says that the task of simplifying
the Vedas was given by Brahma to Ved Vyasa, who
presented them in the form of the Puranas.
The Puranas can be described as a popular
encyclopaedia of ancient and medieval Hinduism,
and is religious, philosophical, historical,
social and political. The Srimadbhagavadpuran
gives a list of the 18 Puranas, amongst which
prominent are the Brahmapurana, Kurmapurana,
Padmapurana, Shivpurana, Vishnupurana,
Nardiyapurana, Markandeyapurana, Agnipurana,
Bhavishyatpurana, Vamanpurana, Matsyapurana,

N the Assam Government Literary
personal favourite — a story titled
Phulpah Aru Sota Kukuror Puwali,
which I recently translated from an
anthology of Assamese short stories
on dogs, edited by Ashim Chutia.
This story is wonderfully seen
through a child’s view of the world
and is also an evocative portrayal of
fulsome interspecies relationships
between children and animals. The
“innocence” of the animal and the
child is conjoined in this story. The
adults in the story are left speechless
after the child – Phulpah admonishes
them for planning to abandon the
six puppies that gambol in their yard
near a train track. At the closure,
Phulpah furiously says: “Why will
you leave them there? How will you
feel if somebody took ba and me away
and left us near the tracks – with no
possibility of getting back home? Will
you ever contemplate leaving us near
the tracks as well?” The last lines of
the story emphasise the distinction
between adult “experience” and the
child’s innocence: “Actually we adults
remain oblivious of the knowledge
that only children possess. True, we
know nothing!” This story, for me,
encapsulates Bormudoi’s strengths
as a storyteller, and also shows how
her horizon of sympathy extends
beyond the human to the non-human.
Like Ramdhon and Phulpah’s six
puppies, animals and other beings
share equal space with human beings
in Bormudoi’s fictional universe. She
is a towering and multifaceted literary
figure who will be sorely missed.

A rare endeavour
Partha Pratim Hazarika
oted author and a recipient of
Award, Dinesh Kakoti Nath has
penned several religious and histor-
ical books over the last many years.
Jnanrahasya (Vol 1 and 2), Siva Geeta,
Nath Yogir Itihax, Nath Kristi O Sahi-
tya, Leelamoy Siva Bhagawan, Diksha,
among several others, are his literary
contributions towards the Assamese
society. His latest effort, Sri Krishnar
Mathura Leela, is a sequel to his earlier
book Sri Krishnar Gakul-Brindaban
Leela, both written in the Brajavali lan-
guage of Srimanta Sankaradeva’s time.
In this modern era, writing a complete
book using Brajavali, a language used
by Sankaradeva hundreds of years ago Sri Krishnar Mathura Leela
to propagate neo-Vaishnavism and his Dinesh Kakoti Nath,
Ek Sarana Naam Dharma during the Published by Lili Devi Kakoti, Dispur,
period of Assamese renaissance, is highly
Price: Rs 400/-
significant. This should be considered as
an endeavour to keep the ancient language alive even in this modern era. It is also
significant, because when Brajavali was recognised as the language of the time,
Sankaradeva composed all his works, including the epical Kirtan Ghosha, in this
language. In contrast, his immediate disciple Sri Sri Madhabdev preferred the
local colloquial language over Brajavali to compose his poetic works. Even most
of their successors like Ram Saraswati, Ananta Kandali, Damodar Dwij, among
others, chose to compose in the colloquial language.
The book Sri Krishnar Mathura Leela has 69 chapters – covering the many dif-
ferent events of Krishna’s life during his days in Mathura, like Kexi Badh, his entry
into Mathura, the breaking of Lord Shiva’s bow, Kansa Badh, Ugrasen’s rule, the
story of Yayati, the story of Kach and Devajani, the story of Sarmistha, Kokil Sam-
bad, Samudra Sambad, Jarasandha Badh, the building of Dwarka, and other stories.
In his India Thought: A Critical Survey, distinguished scholar K Damodaran has
written about the significance of Bhakti Dharma: “First, recognition of the unity
of people irrespective of religious considerations; second, equality of all before
God; third, opposition to the caste system; fourth, the faith that the communion
between God and man depended on the virtues of each individual and not on his
wealth and caste; fifth, emphasis on devotion as the highest form of worship, and
finally, denigration of ritualism like idol worship.”
We, the greater Assamese nation, are fortunate enough that Mahapurush Sri-
manta Sankaradeva and his disciple Sri Sri Madhabdev followed these postulates
to the core in their Ek Sarana Naam Dharma. Dinesh Kakoti Nath’s Sri Krishnar
Mathura Leela is an effort to strengthen our spiritual ethos through the learnings
of the life and deeds of Lord Krishna.
Preserving culture
Joykanta Sarma
mritimalya is a compilation of articles
by writers from different walks of life
and is dedicated to the life and times
of the late educationist Jadav Narayan Das,
who was the first lecturer of Assamese at
B N College, Dhubri. The compilation has
been edited by Dr Upendrajit Sarma, a
professor of the college, who, through this
work, pays homage to him.
Some of the important facts about Jadav
Narayan Das mentioned by the writers
are: he passed the MA examination in
Assamese from Calcutta University way
back in 1940, as one of the students from
the first batch of students of the course.
Consequently, he joined B Barooah Col-
lege at Guwahati as the founder lecturer
of Assamese, where he taught merito-
rious students like Promode Chandra
Bhattacharyya, who went on to become Smritimalya
a distinguished linguist. After Das’s de- Edited by Dr Upendrajit Sarma,
mise in 1985, Dr Bhattacharyya wrote a
Dhubri Zilla Sahitya Parishad,
poetic obituary. Noted writer Atul Chandra
Hazarika, an intimate friend of Das, also
Price: Not stated
wrote a poetic homage on the occasion.
The inclusion of these two poems has naturally enhanced the value of the book.
Interestingly, while in Calcutta, Das joined the Indian Air Force and was trained
as a pilot. An astute nationalist to the core, Das left no stone unturned to trans-
form BN College into an institute of excellence and simultaneously promote
Assamese culture by striking a chord with the people of the border-district.
During the movement to keep the undivided Goalpara district within Assam and
introduce Assamese from the school level, Congress leader Sarat Chandra Sinha
and his associates, like the then DC Khanindra Baruah, were ably assisted by
Das in their endeavours. Even during the Bhaxa Andolan in 1960, Das played an
important role. The silver jubilee celebration of the Asam Sahitya Sabha in 1956
at Dhubri was successful owing to Das’s endeavours. He was the chairperson of
the reception committee of the 1972 Dhubri session of the Sabha.
Some contributors have mentioned that Das was a good theatre actor as well
and the role he played as ‘Shivaji’ in Atul Chandra Hazarika’s drama Chatrapati
Shivaji at the Kumar Bhaskar Natya Mandir was such a hit that the play ran for
nine consecutive months. Some writers have also mentioned that he was an ardent
fan of music and loved to sing on occasions. The book has certainly brought an
important personality of Assam to the forefront, albeit after his birth centenary that
was celebrated in 2016, and the younger generation will immensely benefit from it.

Liverpool fall 2-1 to Sevilla in Fenway friendly

NEW YORK, July 22: Ale-
jandro Pozo delivered the late
dagger in 10-man Sevilla’s 2-1
friendly win over Liverpool in
Boston, a defeat made worse
for the European champions
when they saw Yasser Larou-
ci stretchered off.
Liverpool manager Jurgen
Klopp was furious at Joris
Gagnon’s outrageous kick at
an on-rushing Larouci in the
76th minute.
Gnagnon was shown a
straight red card after sweep-
ing one of the Frenchman’s
legs out from underneath
him, toppling him to the pitch
where his head bounced hard
on the ground.
“It’s much too early in the
season to create headlines
with saying the things I think
about the situation,” Klopp
said at his post-match press
conference, where he add-
ed that it appeared that the
18-year-old Larouci was
“lucky” in terms of avoid-
ing serious injury.
“But of course, how it al-
ways is with these things we
have to wait a little bit. I don’t
know 100 per cent. It looks
like he was lucky but I only
spoke quickly to the Doc and
that’s what he said, but we
have to see.”
Even with the La Liga
outfit reduced to 10 men,
Liverpool were unable find
a way ahead, and Pozo sealed
it in the 90th minute as he
smoothly collected a pass
from Munir El Haddadi,
rounded Liverpool keeper
Simon Mignolet and
knocked the winner into an
unguarded net.
Sevilla had enjoyed by far
the majority of scoring
chances on a sweltering
evening at Fenway Park –
home of the World Series
Champion Boston Red Sox.
Both Liverpool and the Red
Sox are owned by groups led
by John W Henry.
Players were granted wa-
ter breaks in the hot, humid
conditions, and even the pitch
created on the baseball dia-
mond received extra water
during the match.
The pro-Liverpool crowd
weren’t treated to many of
the club’s stars as Brazilian
internationals Roberto
Firmino and Alisson were
both absent for the Reds fol-
lowing their Copa America
campaign along with Moham-
ed Salah and Sadio Mane,
both missing due to the Afri-
can Cup of Nations.
As in a 3-2 defeat to Borus-
sia Dortmund on Friday in In-
diana, there was some shaky
defending from Liverpool.
Nolito’s powerful shot in
the 37th minute past Liver-
pool starting goalkeeper
Andy Lonergan – who was at
Middlesbrough last season –
was Sevilla’s reward after a
half-hour of pressure.
It needed a sprawling save
from Lonergan in the 13th
minute to deny Luuk de Jong
after Liverpool lost posses-
sion in their own territory and
de Jong was just wide with a
header in the 23rd.
Liverpool’s equaliser came
Yasser Larouci of Liverpool lies in agony on the field after a tackle by Joris Gnagnon of Sevilla during the pre-season friendly off a scrappy set piece as
at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s
corner was kept alive by Nat
Phillips, the ball falling to an
unmarked Divock Origi who
swept in from close range in
the 44th.
Both teams made whole-
sale changes at halftime, but
even a match that was just
one more step in both team’s
pre-season preparations
there was nothing laid back
about Sevilla.
A foul was called on Ever
Banega for a hard tackle in
the 12th minute and when he
slammed the ball to the
ground in protest he was
shown a yellow card.
Liverpool midfielder Har-
ry Wilson took a smack to
the face just before halftime
– an infraction that paled in
comparison to that of Gnag-
non – who was arguing with
the referee as Larouci re-
ceived treatment.
“Harry got a knock on his
jaw and a finger in his eye,
so not too cool,” Klopp said.
“He should be OK as well
but couldn’t carry on as
well.” – AFP

Isner beats
Bublik for
fourth Newport
ATP title
NEW YORK, July 22:
American John Isner cap-
tured his fourth title at the
ATP grass court tournament
at Newport, Rhode Island,
beating Alexander Bublik 7-
6 (7/2), 6-3.
Isner, who was sidelined by
a stress fracture in his left foot
for three months after
reaching the Miami final in
March, was the top seed in
the tournament that he also
won in 2011, 2012 and 2017.
Swimmers ‘don’t trust’ Sun as doping row boils over
GWANGJU (South Korea), July 22:
World championship swimmers
slammed China’s Sun Yang over lurid
doping allegations and said competi-
tors were firmly behind Australia’s
Mack Horton, who snubbed the Ol-
ympic star on the podium.
America’s Matt Grevers claimed
many competitors “don’t trust” Sun,
while world record-holder Lilly King
revealed athletes “erupted in ap-
plause” after Horton refused to join
his rival on the podium for photos af-
ter the 400 metres freestyle medals
ceremony.
Triple Olympic champion Sun is fac-
ing allegations, outlined in a leaked
FINA doping panel report, that he
smashed vials of blood with a hammer
when testers visited him last year.
FINA cleared Sun to compete but
the World Anti-Doping Agency has
appealed the decision at the
Lausanne-based Court of Arbitra-
tion for Sport, putting the swim-
mer’s career on the line.
If Sun is found guilty of a doping
violation, he could face a lifetime
ban after serving a three-month
suspension in 2014 for taking a
banned stimulant he claimed was
for a heart problem.
Grevers, along with King and sev-
eral other swimmers, praised Aus-
tralian Mack Horton for his “risky”
protest on Sunday after finishing sec-
ond behind Sun in the 400m freestyle
final in Gwangju, South Korea.
“We don’t know if there’s going
to be penalties or sanctions against
him (Horton) but I think he knew
there were risks and felt strongly
enough to still do it,” said the
American backstroker.
“It’s obviously something he feels
passionate about. I don’t feel like it
really hurt Sun Yang. It’s just to let
him know that it was a weird incident
and until it gets uncovered, we don’t
really trust you.” Australian Mitch
Larkin also backed the stand of his
team-mate Horton, who called Sun a
“drug cheat” before beating him at
the 2016 Rio Olympics – two years
after his Chinese rival tested positive
for the banned stimulant.
“I’m super-proud of Mack,” said
Larkin after the morning’s 100m
backstroke heats.
“The whole Aussie team backs
him 100 per cent,” added the
former world champion.
“I think 99 per cent of athletes
around the pool deck back him, so
he’s not really standing alone. What
he did was certainly brave and gutsy
and I have a lot of respect for him
for doing that.”
Asked if he felt confident he would
be competing in clean races in South
Korea this week, Larkin shrugged:
“You can never be confident – I know
I’m a clean athlete and do everything
I can, so I just have to trust that’s
enough.”
Olympic breaststroke champion
King, one of swimming’s most out-
spoken athletes, told reporters that
swimmers at the village had applaud-
ed Horton’s protest after the medal
ceremony, which triggered boos from
Chinese fans.
“Pretty baller, honestly,” the Amer-
ican said of Horton’s actions.
“It was awesome. Actually when
he walked into the dining hall after us,
the whole dining hall erupted in ap-
plause so it was pretty good to see the
athletes united on his stance as well.”
Only last week, King hit out at swim-
ming’s governing body over its dop-
ing protocols, describing the details of
Sun’s alleged doping violation as
“sketchy” and calling for more to be
done to beat the drug cheats.
“I don’t think anyone in FINA is
going to stand up for the athletes,”
fumed King, who let rip at rival

over the Russian’s previous 16-

month doping ban.
“The athletes have to stand up for McNamara dies
themselves, so I think it’s definitely a
start if these guys are taking a stand
against doping.” Olympic champion
Ryan Murphy added his support.
“Good for Mack,” said the Ameri-
can backstroke king.
“He’s got strong beliefs and it’s
good he feels comfortable to stand up
for those in this case – not necessarily
standing against Sun, but more against
FINA and WADA (and) their respon- McNamara

ment will also see the return of

event due to fitness issues.
Sindhu missed an oppor-
tunity to break a seven-
month title drought when
she lost in straight games to
Akane Yamaguchi in Jakarta
on Sunday and the Indian will
look to go the full distance
when she opens against Chi-
na’s Han Yue here.
If she crosses the opening
hurdle, Sindhu will face either
Scotland’s Kirsty Gilmour or
Japan’s Aya Ohori in the sec-
ond round.
The fifth seed will also aim
to avenge her final loss to
Yamaguchi as she is likely to
face the World No. 4 Japanese
in the quarterfinals.
Sindhu
“Overall, it was a good tour-
nament for me at Indonesia and
I hope I can take the confidence
going forward and do well in
Japan,” Sindhu had said after
the finals on Sunday.
Saina, seeded eighth and the
only Indian to win a title this
season, will open against Thai-
land’s Busanan Ongbamrung-
phan, an opponent against
whom she enjoys a 3-1 head-
to-head lead.
In men’s singles, it will be an
all-Indian opening round battle
between HS Prannoy and
eighth seed Kidambi Srikanth.
The duo has faced each oth-
er five times so far in the inter-
national circuit with Srikanth
having the last laugh in the past
four occasions.
Among other Indians, B Sai

finals of the Swiss Open, will

Lowry’s career comes full circle on Irish soil SU DO KU

PORTRUSH, July 22: Shane
Lowry burst onto the professional
scene with an incredible victory as
an amateur at the Irish Open a dec-
ade ago, and he delivered again on
Sunday by romping to a memora-
ble British Open triumph at a wind-
swept Royal Portrush.
The 32-year-old became only
the second player from the Repub-
lic of Ireland to win the Claret Jug,
after Padraig Harrington, to the
delight of the home crowds as the
Open was given a dream result on
its return to Northern Ireland af-
ter a 68-year absence.
The stunning six-shot win, after
leading by four strokes overnight, also
banished the demons of Lowry’s col-
lapse when four clear in the 2016 US
Open at Oakmont.
The son of Gaelic football player
Brendan Lowry, who won the All-Ire-
land title with Offaly in 1982 along-
side his brothers Mick and Sean,
claimed one of the unlikeliest of titles
on his European Tour debut in 2009.
Lowry entered that Irish Open
at County Louth without a world
ranking, but fired a 62 en route to
an eventual win over
England’s Robert Rock
on a third sudden-death
play-off hole.
That victory had him
earmarked as a potential
star of European golf, but
until this incredible week
on the Causeway coast,
he had perhaps slightly
under-achieved despite
some high moments.
Lowry missed out on
the 500,000-euro win-
ning prize, though, due to
his amateur status, and
he quickly turned pro the Ireland’s Shane Lowry kisses the Claret Jug trophy after winning squad training down in

Hima nearing her best: High Performance Director

NEW DELHI, July 22: Indian athletics’
High Performance Director Volker Her-
rmann feels star sprinter Hima Das is near-
ing her best, having won five successive
gold medals in three weeks in Europe.
The 19-year-old Hima has won five rac-
es – four in 200m and one in her pet 400m
event – in Poland and Czech Republic since
July 2. She has been improving on her tim-
ing even though the field in all the five races
was mediocre.
“Hima is progressing in the right direc-
tion. If you want to run sub 50 seconds (in
400m) you also have to be able to run sub
22.80 in 200m. She is getting closer,” Her-
mann said, explaining why she began with
200m races before switching to 400m in
her last race on July 20 when she clocked a
season best time of 52.09.
Hima is yet to qualify in either 200m or
400m for the World Championships, to be
held in Doha from September 26 to Octo-
ber 6. The World Championships qualify-
ing mark stands at 23.02 and 51.80.
Her male counterpart Muhammed Anas
has qualified for the World Championships
after bettering his own 400m national
record last week.
“We also have Muhammed Anas break-
ing his own record and that is quite prom-
ising,” said the 38-year-old Hermann who
took charge on July 1.
The highly qualified German, who has
worked in similar capacity in his native coun-
try and Singapore, said athletes around the
world have been making changes in their
training due to the World Championships
happening late in the season, and the Indi-
ans are also adjusting accordingly.
“All around the world, the athletes are
facing the same problem. The coaches

win over West Indies A
ANTIGUA, July 22: India A’s top-or-
der, led by opener Ruturaj Gaikwad,
fired in unison to steer the team to a
convincing eight-wicket win in the fifth
and final unofficial one-dayer against the
West Indies A, completing a 4-1 series
triumph here.
Rahul Chahar (2/53) and his cousin
Deepak (2/39), along with pacer Nav-
deep Saini (2/31) – all of whom made
the cut for India’s limited over squad on
Sunday, picked up two wickets each to
help India A dismiss West Indies A for
236 in 47.4 overs.
Gaikwad (99) then led the chase but
missed out on a well-deserved century.
His fellow opener Shubman Gill (69)
and first-down Shreyas Iyer (61) also
blasted half-centuries as India A over-
hauled the target in 33 overs at Coolidge
Cricket Ground here. Gill hit eight fours
and three sixes in a 40-ball 69 to share
an opening stand of 110 with Gaikwad.
He was dismissed by the off-spinner
Rahkeem Cornwall in the 12th over.
Gaikwad then took India A to the
brink of victory before being removed
by Keemo Paul with the visitors need-
ing just 15. His 89-ball innings was laced
with 11 fours and three sixes. Iyer, who
added 112 runs for the second wicket
with Gaikwad, remained unconquered
with 61 off 64 balls. He had three hits to
the fence and cleared the ropes twice.
Earlier, electing to bat, West Indies A
made a good start with opener Sunil
Ambris cracking a 52-ball 61 studded
with seven boundaries and two sixes to
give the team early momentum.
But India A’s bowlers triggered a col-
lapse, reducing the hosts from 77 for no
loss to 103 for six.
Sherfane Rutherford then came up
with a 70-ball 65 to lift West Indies A to
236. Khary Pierre hit four boundaries
and a six in his unbeaten 35 off 34 balls
before running out of partners.
