Letters to the Editor: 'Party-trotters'

Globetrotters are persons who travel around the globe in search of knowledge and pleasure. Likewise, right now we have another class of trotters named 'party-trotters' who travel from one political party to another in search of power and money. In this regard, we are rather very lucky to have one party-trotter of highest quality, named Kamal Kumar Medhi, who almost created a world record by travelling from one party to another party three times within a calendar year. Mr Medhi perhaps follows the famous English proverb that a rolling stone gathers no moss. A political nomad like you can never help any political party. SHAME!

Deepor Beel

A few days ago, officials of Forest Department and local people stopped the ongoing railway electrification work near Deepor Beel in the Kamakhya-Azara section of NF Railway. The plea was that railway electrification will be hazardous for the migratory birds coming to Deepor Beel. Recently, I went to South India by train through this section and could notice the electric high tension line of Power Grid along the railway track near Deepor Beel. Is this not hazardous for birds? I have not forgotten the cries of the so-called bird lovers who fought tooth and nail to stop construction of railway line in the north bank of Deepor Beel and succeeded in fulfilment of their ulterior motive.

Mukul Medhi,
