The official nomination was handed in to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in Oslo in January 2005. The names and profiles of the 1000 women can be found under www.1000peacewomen.org. The number 1000 is symbolic, as the 1000 nominated women represent innumerable women worldwide who are engaged in the cause of peace and human dignity. On the 29th of June, the names of these 1000 women were publicized in press conferences around the world.
Launched on July 1, 1955, by the Assam Tribune group of newspapers under the stewardship of the late RG Baruah, the weekly marked a watershed in the history of journalism and newspaper industry in the North East. It was the first weekly newspaper published from the region.

We just got home from the great Assamese get-together at Orlando, Florida held at the beautiful and elegant setting at Disney Coronado Springs resort, which we enjoyed thoroughly.

The apex court directed that all tribunals functioning under the IMDT, which has been declared unconstitutional, would seize functioning with immediate effect.
The court, allowing the petition filed by AGP leader Sarbanand Sonawal, said all pending matters before the IMDT Tribunal would stand transfer to tribunals under the Foreigners Act.
Taking note of the huge influx of Bangladesh migrants into Assam, the court directed the state government to constitute sufficient number of tribunals under the Foreigners Act to deal with the situation effectively.

Here is a good news for the ‘corruption-eaten’, ‘strife-stricken’ society of the State. Forty one per cent of the 1,419 youths interviewed in a recent survey, find it loathsome to bribe someone for securing a job. But there is another information, which has the potential of causing consternation. That is 57 per cent of these youths are of the view that they are heading only towards an ominous future. Providence has nothing but only the terrible things stored for the State, they believe.
