GOLAGHAT, May 30 – The people of Numaligarh area and its adjacent places are spending sleepless nights due to the depredations of wild elephants. A herd consisting of 60 elephants is damaging houses at Numaligarh and its neighbouring areas including Bihora Mikir Chang tea garden where the elephants damaged 14 houses and seven shops. The shops belonging to Goush Tauti, Bipul Munda, Gopal Tamuria, Meghnath Tanti, Bakul Tanti, Azit Tanti and Motilal Tanti had been damaged.

The people had demanded of the Forest department of Golaghat to drive out the elephants. But so far the Forest personnel have been unable to drive away the elephants from the rural and tea garden areas.

Appointed: The Director of the Minority Welfare and Development department has appointed Prince Azizul Haque as the chairman of Golaghat Minority Development Board.

Prince Azizul Haque is an inhabitant of Nahoroni area within Golaghat district. The members of the board who were appointed were Anizuj Jaman, Ruidar Rahman, Mofida Begum and Bubul Hussain.

The Muslim Jatia Mahasabha Golaghat district committee has welcomed the appointment.

According to insiders of Kaziranga National Park, a nexus between a section of forest guards and poachers is being suspected to be involved in rhino poaching.

And now, authorities of Assam’s Kaziranga National Park, forest guard and security personnel are killing innocent people in fake encounters and producing them as poachers to cover up their failure, alleged by local people who reside near the park.
The incident came to light when villagers of Silveta under Bokakhat Police Station in Golaghat district, some 35 kms from Kaziranga National Park, alleged that, a youth called Rahul Kutum was killed by forest guards in a fake encounter inside the Park on May 21, morning.

Later, the park authorities produced 4 'poachers' killed in the encounter.

Park authorities said, the killed poachers have not been identified.

But the villagers alleged that, the park authorities killed innocent youth Rahul Kutum along with three others in a fake encounter for covering their failure to protect rhinos.

Family members of Rahul Kutum lodged FIR at Bokakhat Police Station and a case (No – 91/2010, under section 302) had registered.

Villagers of Silveta given a memorandum to Golaghat DC demanding a fair inquiry into the incident.

Tileswar Kutum, elder brother of Rahul Kutum told IBNS, “the park authorities producing it as colourful for covering their failures”.

It is to be mentioned that, 55 one horned rhinoceros have been killed in Kaziranga in last four years, during the period when Forest Minister Rockybul Hussain took charge of the state government ministry.

Poachers killed 20 rhino in 2007, 16 in 2008, 13 in 2009 and 6 in this year. In this period park authorities killed only 8 poachers and forest department, security personnel arrested 37 nos of rhino poachers.

Over 800 rhinos were killed during the last decade – it is enough to raise a loud alarm on Kaziranga national Park.

In other hand, Kaziranga lost more than 150 rhinos and 40 tigers in natural dead.

GUWAHATI, May 30 (IANS): Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today asked the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) to formally apprise the State government of its decision on opening peace talks to end three decades of insurgency in the region.

"Let them first decide if they want to talk or not. If at all they are interested for talks, they should formally let us know," Gogoi told reporters in response to an ULFA statement to the media on Friday urging the government to release its six top jailed leaders to pave the way for holding peace talks.

He said the rebel group should tell the government what they want and the government would discuss their proposals in detail and do whatever was possible to get the talk process going.

"We are positive from our side, but then there has to be some formalities observed and so we want the ULFA to make their stand formal to us," the chief minister said.

The ULFA statement by its publicity chief Mithinga Daimary was made after eight of the outfit's leaders met inside the Guwahati Central Jail on Friday to discuss the issue of holding peace negotiations with the government.

The meeting came in the wake of some positive signals from New Delhi. Home Minister P.C. Chidambaram Tuesday said in Guwahati that the Assam government had been given the nod to open talks with the ULFA.

On Wednesday, the Assam chief minister said the state cabinet endorsed Chidambaram's proposal and announced that Assam was ready to begin peace talks with the ULFA leadership.

Six top ULFA leaders are in jail -- chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, deputy commander-in-chief Raju Baruah, self-styled foreign secretary Sasha Choudhury, finance secretary Chitrabon Hazarika, cultural secretary Pranati Deka, and ULFA political ideologue Bhimkanta Buragohain.

Its vice chairman Pradeep Gogoi and Daimary were out on bail two months ago after the prosecution did not oppose their bail plea - a move seen as an attempt by the government to let the two leaders drum up public opinion for opening talks.

GUWAHATI, May 28 – ULFA’s general council, led by the outfit’s jailed chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, met today at the Guwahati Central Jail to take a decision regarding peace talks with the government.

According to ULFA publicity secretary Mithinga Daimary, the general council meeting was held in response to the government’s invitation for peace talks.

Rajkhowa, who is in jail, was joined by ULFA vice-chairman Pradip Gogoi and Mithinga Daimary from outside, as intense discussions were held with the council’s jailed leaders.

The modalities of the talks and where they would be held was yet to be decided as the discussion was in the initial stage, Daimary said.

The council members were also hopeful that the banned underground organisation’s ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah, still at large, would abide by their decision on the talks.

The issue of ULFA general secretary Anup Chetia, now in a Bangladesh jail, was also discussed at the meeting, he added.

Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi had announced here on Wednesday that his Cabinet had taken a decision to hold talks with ULFA irrespective of whether Paresh Barua came for negotiations or not.

Among the ULFA’s 15-member general council, six are in judicial custody, including Rajkhowa, two — Pradip Gogoi and Mithinga Daimary — have been released on bail and three members are missing since the Bhutan operations in 2003.

GUWAHATI, May 28 (IANS): Four members of the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), directly involved in the October 2008 serial explosions in Assam, have been arrested in separate raids by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sleuths, officials said on Friday.

A CBI spokesperson said Rahul Brahma was arrested on Thursday from Zero town in Arunachal Pradesh where he was taking shelter with his wife and child for the past few days. Brahma is the one who allegedly drove a Maruti 800 car packed with explosives and parked the vehicle at a crowded business hub in Panbazar on Oct 30, 2008. The car bomb went off killing eight people and wounded up to 30 others.

A total of nine near simultaneous explosions rocked the State that day killing 100 people and wounding 500 more, all the blasts blamed on the NDFB.

In another raid, CBI officials held three NDFB bombers from Kokrajhar in western Assam - all of them directly linked to the explosion at Bongaigaon town.

The trio of B Onsai, Indra Brahma and Lukhra allegedly rode a motorcycle packed with explosives and parked it in front of a shop in a crowded street in Bongaigaon, about 200 km west of here. An alert shop owner informed the police about the unattended motorcycle - a bomb disposal squad towed the motorcycle for defusing, but for some technical reasons the bomb went off before it could be defused, injuring two policemen.

"All the four arrested are directly linked to the serial blasts and we consider it a major success and we hope to catch a few more soon," CBI Superintendent of Police NS Kharayat told IANS. "Vital clues were provided by NDFB chairman Ranjan Daimary during our nine-day interrogation," the CBI official said.

Daimary was handed over to Indian authorities on May 5 by Bangladesh and is now in the custody of Assam Police. Earlier, the NDFB terror mastermind was in CBI custody for nine days until Tuesday.

"Daimary has confessed to the crime of masterminding the serial explosions and said the explosives were procured locally from Assam and also from Bhutan," the CBI official said.

The CBI had already filed a chargesheet naming Daimary and 19 more NDFB militants for the serial blasts Oct 30 2008 in Assam.
