Asom labourers harassed in Mizoram
SILCHAR, May 20: The Sodou Assam Nirman Sramik Union, Channighat unit observed with grave concern over the excess by Mizo police against the daily labourers of Asom who went to Mizoram for work. In a memorandum to the Cachar Deputy Commissioner, the Union urged upon the administration to ensure security for the labourers. The Union further said that construction workers permanently residing in villages like Lailapur, Hawalthang, Frenchanagar and Chennighat at Asom-Mizoram border have been regularly going to nearest Vairengtee of Mizoram in the morning for work and return to their villages in the evening after completion of the work.
Sometimes, they are harassed by the Mizoram people and police on the issue of Inner line permit. Previously, ILP was not compulsory for these workers. But recently, the Mizoram Government has issued an order not to allow the construction workers and daily wage labourers to enter into Vairangtee without ILP for which the said workers and daily wage labourers are facing financial and other problems.
These workers are very poor and have no other alternative source of income and are therefore facing starvation.
The Union further said that boundary dispute between Asom and Mizoram has been prevailing since a long time and untoward incidents occur regularly. Recently, Mizo people with the help of Mizoram police had constructed a thatched house within the Asom area near GREF camp and gradually they were entering and occupying land belonging to Asom.
They have also occupied a vast area of Asom by making plantation, constructing homesteads and various other methods. The Union said that if the administration does not take immediate steps, the situation might go beyond control. THE SENTINEL
