REGIONAL PARTY REBEL

In spite of the  fact  that  it  is  the  UDP,  which  had  joined  as part  of  forming  the  Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government, and  taken the initiative in the making of Conrad  K.  Sangma,  as  the leader, the  regional UDP  unit  in  South  Tura  is  pulling  up  it selves  to fight  against  Conrad. In a meeting at Asanang in Garo Hills,  the  UDP  South  Tura  is  up  in  arms  against  Conrad.  The UDP central  leadership  therefore  seems  to  be  having  no  control on  its  units  in  different  parts  of  the  state,  a  bad  reflection  that  units  of  regional  parties are  behaving  independently. This is certainly a negative precedent upon the political scenario in Meghalaya, where political discipline is lacking. Certain screws  have  to  be  tighten  up  by  the  central  leadership  of  regional  parties  in  controlling  their  district  units.

So, the project envisaged involving people to make the Dhubri town free from garbage and transform it into a place of healthy living. Dhubri Deputy Commissioner, Anant Lal Gyani who is taking a keen interest also made a fervent appeal to the people and social organizations to extend co-operation in the mission of cleaning Dhubri.
