Transit routes – rail and road of North East through Bangladesh still a far cry
Transit routes through Bangladesh still a far cry
SILCHAR, Dec 31: Notwithstanding all the talks about the transit routes – rail and road – of North East through Bangladesh, its possibility seems still a far cry, given the present level of official dialogue between the two Countries. It was an important issue on the 64 point agreement signed between the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh, and his counterpart, Begum Sheikh Hasina, during his two day visit to Dhaka in the early part of September, 2011. But, the treaty on transit routes has remained on paper only in 2012 also. The only positive development on this front has been the agreement on waterways which has become operational. In fact, the comprehensive transit agreement has been stuck up due to the inflexible stand on sharing of Teesta water by Mamata Banerjee, Chief minister of West Bengal.
Apart from the Teesta imbroglio, according to reports from the capital of Bangladesh, modalities on transit routes have also come on the way. These have been examined by the 15 member Core Committee on Transit routed headed by Bangladesh tariff commission Chairman, Dr. Mozibur Rahman, that was constituted in 2010.
Besides bureaucrats, experts from the private sector, research organizations and transport economists are also on the Core Committee. In its report, it has proposed fixed and variable transit charges on the basis of transit distance, quantity of goods and other related aspects practised internationally.
The Core Committee submitted its final report to Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, not long ago. Besides deciding the transit charges, it has proposed 5 specific road routes for transit traffic in north-east. The routes are Agartala-Akhaura-Kolkata, Agartala-Akhaura-Chittagong , Silchar-Sutarkandi-Chittagong Port, Silchar-Sutarkandi-Kolkata and Guwahati-Shillong-Sylhet-Chittagong. The report also analyzed concrete idea on volume of transit goods to be carried through Bangladesh from India.
The report said between 4 to 5 million tonnes of cargoes move to and from North-Eastern States of India through Kolkata Port every year. Once the infrastructure facilities are in place for movement of cargoes, these will be diverted to Chittagong Port. But, a note of caution has been given to the fact if annual cargo movement becomes less than the projected level, the transit operation may not be economically viable for Bangladesh. In such a situation, the investment factor has to be given due consideration, it has insisted.
Quite significantly, the Core Committee strongly favoured railway and waterways as the options for carrying the transit traffic instead of roads, considering its poor condition. The road network of Bangladesh suffers from structural weaknesses which is fit for 8.2 tonne trucks only. It recommended expressways on Dhaka-Chittagong Highway, besides upgradation of roads between Sutarkandi and Sylhet among others. As a part of immediate solution, Bangladesh road transporters could provide transshipment facilities from one border to another across Bangladesh.
Given the present scenario, there is no immediate possibility of road transit. This has also been admitted by Finance Minister of Bangladesh, AMA Muhith, who said existing infrastructures cannot take the load of transit. He added to say transit between India and Bangladesh has always been there since 1947 which stood suspended since the Indo-Pak war in 1965. On the other hand, the Hasina Government maintains that it will not sign any transit treaty since such agreement between the two Countries existed since 1947. It is just updating the expansion of the old transit deals and working out modalities. The transit also looks not feasible due to poor banking facilities at border points, a government official in Dhaka said.
However, Bangladesh has agreed to allow the use of Mongla and Chittagong Ports for movement of goods to and from India by road and rail to its 7 North-Eastern States. But the deal is yet to be signed. Nothing concrete has also emerged in respect of reopening of rail routes as both Delhi and Dhaka are yet to decide about the modalities.

About people living in the border areas of Karimganj district
Will the new year herald hope for the border people?
SILCHAR, Dec 30: There is a cry from the people of 56 villages, poor and economically weak, living in the greater Cheragi areas under Ratabari police station in the extreme south end of Karimganj district, bordering Mizoram, to get merged with the neighbouring State. Their ire and anger as articulated before the media persons by the President, Abhimanyu Singh, and secretary, Sarful Ali, of their joint platform “Cheragi-Jamuyang Sadak Unnayan Samiti” can well be understood from the fact even after 67 years of Independence, they are yet to see the basic facilities of connectivity, safe drinking water, electricity, health structure and education infrastructure.

Electricity yet to reach Hamphong punjee
SILCHAR, Dec 28: Even though the state government committed itself to cover all the villages of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi under rural electrification programme and the target for it expired a decade ago, the prospect of providing electricity to each household in the rural areas looks distant even in the near future. And there is justified apprehension behind it. After the much hyped rural electrification programme fizzled out without making much headway, came the Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) which too is dragging its feet, being caught in controversies for its ways of work and execution.
One such village or hamlet is Hamphong punjee, a part of Lakhicherra, under Kalaincherra post office and in the district of Cachar. The villagers despite their repeated representations to the district authorities on the issue of electrification have not been able to get any reply from them. They have pointed out that the nearby Lakhicherra punjee with a cluster of households has been electrified long ago. But, they have failed to get the electricity and they are not sure when it will be possible.

SILCHAR, Dec 25: All Barak Youth Students’ Association (ABYSA) demanded to cancel all the recent recruitments for grade III and IV posts in several departments in the Barak Valley.
Addressing a press meet held here this evening, Baharul Islam, Convener of ABYSA, said that all the recent recruitments for grade III and IV posts especially in Health Department and the Cachar Forward Base of ONGC at Srikona were conducted “illegally” as the local educated youths were not given the opportunity either for submitting application or thereby called for interview. All this smacked of a deeper conspiracy to deprive the qualified candidates of this valley of job opportunities with dubious motive, he added.

Baikampunji Khasi people press for new road
SILCHAR, Dec 21: The Khasi tribal people of village Baikampunji close to the Jalalpur tea estate and in the foot hills of Borail in Cachar have been facing serious problem of connectivity in their areas. The only connecting link to their cluster of villages is Baikampunji-Jalalpur tea estate road. In addition, there is another passage which is used by the residents in winter season that passes through the river bed of Baleshwar. But, with the onset of monsoon and rains, the river becomes full and often flooded. In that eventuality, their movement through this river bed passage becomes not only difficult but also impossible.
In a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner of Cachar today, the Barak Valley Khasi-Jaintia Welfare Organization, on behalf of the inhabitants of Baikampunji, have drawn his attention to their problem and sought the administrative help for resolution, considering their difficulties.

Malegarh - 26 brave souls of ‘Sepoy Mutiny’ laid down their lives
Latu, the scene of 1857 mutiny relived
From our Special Correspondent
SILCHAR, Dec 19: In a simple but solemn function organized by NGO ‘Patkai Trekkers’ at Latu, 15 km from the border town of Karimganj, today, floral tributes were paid to the 26 brave souls of ‘Sepoy Mutiny’, who laid down their lives fighting the British forces in this non descript village. In fact, Latu or Malegarh was the theatre of first war of independence of 1857 in north-east region. Prof Janmajit Roy in his key-note address before the assembly of district and BSF officials as well as civilians in large number narrated briefly about the significance of Latu which has become famous for the last battle of a contingent of the 34th Native infantry who had mutinied at Chittagong against the British rule and reached here via Sylhet, after looting the armoury.
Recounting the heroism and valour of the soldiers or mutineers, Roy said despite all the odds, they when encountered and charged by the British army fought back valiantly. Though they were put to adverse situation, they could kill Major Bying, the commanding officer of the British force, along with five other soldiers. The fierce battle took place at a hillock called Malegarh.
Unfortunately, 26 of the 200 mutineers were also killed, he pointed out. It was exactly on December 18, 1857, 155 years ago, that the mutineers became martyrs. Along with the Deputy Commissioner of Karimganj, Debeshwar Malakar, SP, Pradip Poojary, BSF 115 Commandant, Rajiv Kumar Dua, MLA, Kamalakha Deb Purkayastha, former MLA, Mission Ranjan Das, convener and members of Patkai Trekkers, Mriganka Kishore Gogoi, journalists, Arup Roy and Mujib Ahmed, and a large number of people paid their respect and homage to the martyrs’ column raised there in memory of the soldiers ‘who laid down their lives for our tomorrow’.
Students of Saraswati Vidya Niketan and Maharshi Vidya Mandir sang patriotic songs befitting the historic and glorious occasion.
Debeshwar Malakar said that he would submit a project report to the State government to develop Latu as a tourist centre and for raising a suitable memorial in honour of the brave heroes. Kamalakha Deb Purkayastha pointed out for preserving the swords and other things of the mutineers, he would explore the possibility of building a museum here. Some villagers possess some of the memorabilia associated with the battle of Latu which they showed to the people.
Patkai Trekkers regretted that the proposal to build suitable memorial at Latu was submitted long ago to the State government but nothing was done in this regard. Quite significantly, women too took up arms and fought gallantly along with their male counterparts and suffered untold miseries. Many of them died in action and many of them were taken prisoners and executed. But, their resistance against the British force for long one month after the Latu episode, notwithstanding the death of their commanders and loss of them, lack of ration, extreme physical and mental exertions and rough terrain, has become a part of the glorious history of India’s freedom struggle.
