The Prime Minister, Mrs Indira Gandhi, has called for unity among all sections of the people in Assam and other North-Eastern States, in bringing about all round development of the region. She was speaking at a public gathering in Gauhati on Feb 2. She made it clear to the well-attended gathering that disunity would only bring about disaster to the region as well as to the country. She also urged the people to give all possible help and co-operation to the present government in implementing the various schemes launched by it to help the poor.

At Itanagar, the Prime Minister assured that the North-Eastern states of an increase in plan allocation for catching up and keeping pace with the rest of the country in development.

After the Prime Minister left for Delhi, the 36 hour road blockade and other locally organised bundhs and Janata curfew, called by the Assam Movement leaders also came to an end.

The derailment of a train and a bomb explosion on rail track were the only two major incidents reported during the entire period. No one was hurt. The derailment and the damage to the tracks, however, paralysed the rail commuuications in the region for several hours.
