Edufair 2011
By Pravin
Today morning, I was struck by the
vibrancy and vitality of a room when I first walked through the doors of an
Edufair, 2011, organized by The Assam Tribune Pvt. Ltd., Guwahati. Hundreds of
students were thrilled talking with friends, family and admission
representatives, looking for the perfect study destination for themselves.
I was able to collect information and
consider options in some top colleges and universities of India who had
participated in the Edufair. While researching, I wrote up a brief list of
questions to ask. By asking differing colleges/universities similar questions,
I was able to get a far better understanding of each’s advantages/benefits.
Some general questions of mine were answered by the provided brochures and pamphlets
In addition, there was also events in the
fair such as seminars or information sessions. It ran throughout the day, with
each one focusing on a different study topic, such as the research process,
applications, visas, financial aid, and so on. These seminars were a great
place to ask queries about the admission process.
I left the fair after getting all
details with a sense of satisfaction and came home and finally I have decided
which university is the best to take admission.

My Visit to a Hostel
By Priya
Last Sunday, I went to see my friend
Priyanka, who is staying in a hostel in Guwahati. I was very happy to reach her place. Her room
is in the 3rd floor from where the view of the Brahmaputra River is
very clear. I along with them sat on the terrace to view the beautiful river.
The room was very spacious. It has a proper bathroom. It has an open space
outside the house where the girls of the hostel could spend time by playing
some outdoor games like badminton, cricket, basketball etc.
I spent the night in her room with her.
The hostel has 50 rooms with two beds in each. There is also a large library
containing large number of books. It contains one large room for indoor
activities such as carrom, ludo and chess. It also features a dining hall with
a capacity of 120 people. Then we had dinner in the mess of that hostel. Just
inside the gate, there is also an auditorium hall. The hall is periodically
utilized for cultural events.
The hostel provided meal three times a
day. The food supplied in the hostel is very excellent. First time I had this
much tasty food in a hostel. I was overjoyed to have spent time in such a
setting. The hostel according to me is a very congenial place and I loved the
environment in and around it.

city was going with his wife along with their two daughters and the car was
being driven by their driver. A speedy truck collided head-on with the car,
leaving the driver killed and other four people seriously injured and damaged
the vehicle badly. Eyewitnesses said the accident occurred because the truck
driver lost control while trying to overtake another vehicle.

injured and provided first aid. Within 15 minutes, ambulances and police

Train Accident, 30 Killed
JURI, STAFF
REPORTER
Bongaigaon, February
10 (The Sentinel): A serious train accident took place yesterday near
New Bongaigaon Railway Junction where Delhi bound Guwahati Express derailed at
around 7pm. The train was coming from Delhi to Guwahati at 110 km/h. The
repairing work was in progress on the track that caused the accident. A section
of the track was found missing. 11 bogies were derailed leaving 30 people
killed and 75 others critically injured.
As soon as
the accident happened, local police, fire services, and rescue teams rushed to
the spot. The Railway officials along with the local
administrations reached the spot immediately. General people gathered and tried
to rescue the victims. The place filled up with the sounds of ambulance. The
injured people were admitted to New Bongaigaon Hospital.
It was alleged that the accident
occurred due to carelessness on the part of the railway authorities and a lack
of proper communication between the concerned departments, leading to the
derailment. The track maintenance department reportedly failed to inform the
railway operations team about any issues or potential risks. Many experts
believe that had there been better coordination between the authorities and
maintenance teams, the accident could have been avoided, or at least minimized.

facing delays.

Dangerous, Ban of Plastic Bags being
Ignored
RANJITA, PRESS REPORTER
Guwahati, Feb 16: The government banned the environment
unfriendly polybags in our state. But unfortunately, these are now being widely
used again and being discarded everywhere. While the government works out ways
to lessen the impact of plastic bags, but the ban on plastic bags in our state
is being widely ignored.
Despite the ban being implemented over
a year ago, plastic bags can still be found being used and distributed at
various stores and markets. These are a great threat to the environment. They
cause pollution, kill wildlife and are responsible for using up the natural
resources of the earth. They are one of the main factors that litter the
landscape. The main problem of plastic bags is that they are not biodegradable.
The decomposition of plastic takes around a thousand years.
So, with the plastic rubbish produced
each day it is likely that this problem will never be solved. It is crucial that the ban on plastic bags is
strictly enforced in order to protect the environment and ensure the
sustainable development of our state.
