Assam: Sattras joined the chorus for the bridge after the ferry tragedy

Guwahati: The tragedy of the ship on Wednesday afternoon at Brahmaputra has triggered agitation in Majuli with a new call for the bridge that connects the largest Riverine Island in the world with Jorhat.
Majuli, Vaishnavite and home cultural chairs for many Sattras, may have received a long bridge back, if not opposed by Sattradhikars in fear of a place to lose its sanctity.
But now Satra also asks the bridge.
For health care, education, and all major needs, the population of Majuli must cross the Brahmaputra on a single machine ferry that is not safe to the south to the country’s nerve center, Jorhat, and to Ghats in Lakhimpur Regency in the north.
The author and activist Judi Borah Borghain, along with the author of Kushal Haloi, took the initiative in 2013-14 to mobilize major residents of Majuli to provide a request for a bridge of a movement.
But the duo received a setback, when some of the most respected sattradhikar refused to put their signatures on the characters.
“Sattradhikar that we approached refused to support us on the grounds that the bridge would damage the majesty inheritance, increase the number of thieves and hurt our traditions that shine.
The bridge to Majulan can be built for a long time to support demand,” Borghain said.
When Sarbanou Sonowal (whose constituents were Majuli) became Chair of the State Minister in 2016, he took this problem.
Sattradhikar went to Delhi to pursue this problem and discuss other development aspects.
“We believe all the Sattradhikars do not support the bridge.
But they went together to Delhi so that public opinion did not oppose them,” Borghain said, who came from Majuli.
Even the Chairman of the Minister of Tarun Gogoi had to keep plans to build a bridge because Sattradhikar opposed it.
A young monk (Bhakat) from Uttar Kamalabari Satra from Majuli, Jadab Borah, who taught at the University of Dibrugarh, said, “If the bridge threatens our inheritance, the lack of it threatens our lives.
Apart from the constant fear of sinking, a lot of time wasted above and down.
