i am sorry but this problem cant be solved... who will bell the cat.. who will call a spade a spade.. this is not ULFA etc.. its pure and simple Paki sponsored Islamic terror.. Soon Hindus will be a in a minority in Assam and then you will have another kashmir.... just wait and see .. There is no political will since congress is enouraging illegal migration into India for electoral reasons... a whole scale cleansing is required.. and B;desh needs to be taught a lesson of its lifel... but alas who will do it???

Like the rest of India, I'm anguished and outraged. My outrage against the authorities, is no less than that, against those who perpetrated the heinous crime. Can anything be done to prevent such occurances ? Something the entire nation should ponder over.After all different parts of India have witnessed such incidents, over the years, more particularly, during the last one year. I am of the opinion, the following preventives can help. The differnces between the ULFA and the Indian State, are yet to be reconciled, and the risk of such attacks,remains,till this is sorted out. Those controlling the terror outfits, within Assam are located in Bangla Desh, Myanmar and Bhutan ( numerically and power-centre wise in that order. The Govt of India ( GOI ) must proactively take up the matter with these neighbouring governments. Most likely there will be favourable responses, however, in the event the Bangla Desh govt is reluctant to assist India, the latter MUST, on its own, plug the sensitive or porus zones, to prevent the infiltration of terrorists.Border checks and immigration must be made more stringent. We MUST have better intelligence gathering. Law enforcement also needs to be looked into. We have already alienated the locals in the North East as much as in Assam, the locals must be socio-economically absorbed within the Indian State. Perhaps, easier said than can be achieved. Let us never, however, overlook the cardinal rule, THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS, WE NEED TO GO THE WHOLE HOG

Two updates:

From my sister-in-law: They were putting up a pandal for Kali Puja at the hotel and the scooter with the bomb was placed against one of the elephants at the entryway. When it exploded, the labourer putting up the tent was killed, a spot death. My cousin, who was running a small computer shop, lost seven computers. None were insured.

From my aunt: A boy of class 3 used to always bring chicken rolls in his tiffin. He was very plump and always bragged about how his mom made the best chicken rolls. Yesterday morning, his mom was shopping in Pan Bazaar. It was a spot death. This afternoon, his maternal uncle and other relatives came to get the boy, saying they had come to pay his school fees so he might as well just come home with them. The boy had been playing games outside and happily went with them. He didn't know until he got home.
