Mela purchase
A farmer carries back a pumpset from the Kisan Mela organised by Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council and District Agriculture Department at Bokoliaghat, 62 km from Diphu, district headquarter of Karbi Anglong district, Assam on July 15, 2009. Half a million people in the state have been forced from their homes after flash floods inundated towns and villages, destroying property, crops and livestock. Ten of Assam's 27 districts have been affected, including Majuli island - the world's largest inhabited riverine island where around 100,000 people are believed to be marooned.

Notice
The Northeast Vigil website ran from 1999 to 2009. It is not operated or maintained anymore. It has been put up here solely for archival sentiments.

Parts of the old website, especially the extremely popular dams issue, have been resurrected. Other archived material will be uploaded here as and when I am able to salvage those. If at all.
