The government has claimed to be spending huge amount of money for development of the Assam-Nagaland border areas. But the real development is far away. People in the remote area of Gelakey border areas are living in a deplorable condition; Lahdoigarh, Sunapur, Borhollah, Singibill etc. of Gelakey border areas under Nazira sub-division are facing a lot of problems due to the lack of proper road, bridge, water, electricity etc. The so called Rajiv Gandhi Rural Electrification Scheme is not able to reach these areas till today.
Nagaland has already occupied over 1000 Bighas of forest land of Assam. They have set-up one polling station at Borhollah in their recently held general election. According to the villagers of these areas, till today there is no any clear distinction or sign between the cadastral revenue village and forest-land in the border areas.
To prevent the Naga aggression in Gelakey border the state govt. set-up 3 nos. og BOPs (Border Out Post) at Singibill, Borhollah and Sunapur in 2007, but till today the quantity of battalions in these three BOPs are not adequate and the battalions who deployed here are facing a lot of problems due to the lack of basic amenities like drinking water, light and infrastructure. The tube-well of Borhollah BOP is the only source of drinking water of entire Borhollah Village.
Two broken wooden bridge of Lahdoigarh, which are connecting the 3 BOPs of Gelakey border area shows and reflect the govt’s apathy and negligence towards Gelakey border.
Photo of the broken wooden and bamboo bridges and tube-well in the Assam-Nagaland border area near Gelakey reflect the real picture of border development.

The Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) has found the headlines for wrong reasons. Crating sounds of the ONGC are leading to noise pollution at Lakwa and areas like – Mojaluya Kuwar Gaon, Dehingia Kuwar Gaon, Barbarva Maidam, Tepomia Gaon, Pathaligarh, Rongagarh, Cholapather etc.Besides noise, the ONGC is also causing pollution in air, soil and water. The leak of crude oil from ONGC pipes has virtually affected about 1000 bighas of paddy fields. During the rainy season the layer of crude oil spreads to different areas due to which paddy fields are gradually losing its fertility and decreasing in production.Both the Effluent Treatment plants (ETP) 1 and 2 release different chemical...

The senior doctors and professors of the Assam Medical College Hospital, Dibrugarh are still beyond control of the State Govt. Although the state health minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarmah has trying his best to improve the deplorable condition of the health department, due to hidden power of the corrupt officials and doctors the ongoing mess is still going on severely.
