Any social/political problem, troubling a region or state for a long period of time now, how complex it may be to deal with can be amicably and peacefully resolved in a time-frame if the state is willing to resolve the issue with a give-and-take spirit. There are some states in the Northeastern region that are long beset with some complex problems which have impeded the growth, though there are no valid reasons for their early solution being kept on hold, year after year. The successive regional governments can easily resolve it, if they desire so assertively and with all earnestness. But in several cases, these establishments , instead of being keen on resolving them during its full term, are seen soft pedalling these issues , evidently for vote bank politics or to score one-upmanship over its arch rivals. This go-slow approach on their part towards these issues has weakened the states’ economy. The standing example of which is Assam’s recurring floods and erosion. The inordinate delay in clinching them on a priority basis once for all has galled many, which reverberates in periodic agitations in these States by different organisations such as civil society groups, student bodies, academics, opposition leaders, professionals etc, in protest against the ruling party governments over alleged apathetic attitude towards the bare need of their early settlement resulting in social unrest.
