Assam planning and development minister Prithibi Majhi has asked officials of various departments to make a sincere effort to ensure the successful implementation of development projects.
Majhi requested them to submit utilisation certificates in time so that the project amount could be utilised in full. Five persons, including a woman, were killed while two others were injured when the vehicle in which they were travelling fell into a gorge in Arunachal Pradesh?s lower Subansiri district on Sunday. The first session of the new Assam Assembly begins on Monday. It will continue for three days. A district emergency operation centre will be set up in Dhubri to provide information on remedial measures when natural disasters strike. The centre will be set up under the UNDP Disaster Management Programme in collaboration with the Assam government. The Meghalaya State Sainik Welfare directorate said wards of serving soldiers, between Classes VIII and XII would be given Rs 800 yearly as scholarship. It also said wards of soldiers who died in harness, who had scored above 45 per cent marks, would be entitled to a scholarship of Rs 2,500 per annum from Classes I-VI. A report by the joint director of health services, Kamrup, stated that 54.56 per cent of children were immunised on the first day of the pulse polio programme in the district. A total of 120,723 children could be immunised out of the targeted 221,235. Chief executive member of North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council, P. Langthasa, has submitted proposals to the Assam government. These include upgrading the 30-bed Maibong civil hospital to a 100-bed one and posting doctors and staff at primary health centres and sub-centres.
