The series of agitations is also continuing in all three districts of Palamou region where the administration had to issue job cards, nearly one lakh, under movemental pressure. But it is just a drop in the ocean and we need to step up the movement further. Moreover, it was also observed at some places that the administration concedes to our demand of job card distribution in the areas of our influence only while at other places brokers and middlemen continues to rule the roost. .
UPA Govt.-SC must stop playing with the lives of the evacuees of Narmada Dam .
CPIML has said in a statement that the people must see through the bluff being peddled by the UPA government on the Sardar Sarovar issue. Whether the Supreme Court move to pass off the decision to stall the construction of the Sardar Sarovar to Manmohan Singh was yet another round of the football match being played between the two? The Supreme Court's statement has bought further time for those constructing the dam. When the construction is expected to finish around 30 June, deferring decision till July 7 goes towards delaying justice till it is denied. While the Supreme Court violates its own previous judgement on the issue, the UPA government has acted according to the wishes of Gujarat's Modi government which is against the interest of the adivasis and the farmers. .

AISA Protests Hike in Electricity Tariffs and Power Failure .
All India Students Association Assam State Unit staged a militant protest on 4 May at Bijuli Bhawan, Guwahati against proposed electricity price hike and for regularization of power supply in the state. The Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) had taken a loan of Rs. 1200 cores from Asian Development Bank last years and instead of taking any steps to increase power production, it has disbundled ASEB into five companies and decided to hike power tariff in every slab, to fulfill its agenda of liberalisation. On the other, hand people are suffering badly from the unprecedented load shading. Around 100 protesters of AISA started march from ASTC bus station, Paltanbazar to Bijuli Bhawban, HQ of Assam State Electricity Board. Security of the board tried to block the march at the main entrance, but the protesters went ahead breaking through the gates. Security-men also tried to prevent the marchers at the next gate. While peaceful protesters were staging a dharna in front of the main door of Bijuli Bhawan amidst stiff opposition by the staff security, additional police force arrived at the spot and in association with the security personnel attacked the protesters. Fifteen students including two girl students became seriously injured. Police arrested AISA activist Akhil Rongson and Valindra Saikia, State Secy. of AISA. Police illegally detained Valindra Saikia at Paltanbazar lock-up for the whole night. AISA has demanded regular power supply in the state and to withdraw electricity price hike, anti-people electricity reforms and to stop corruption. .

Obituary.
Comrade Ramgulam Patel breathed his last on 21 March 2006 in Pratapgarh (UP). He was 60 years of age. He started his political journey in early student days when he became active in Socialist Party and Shoshit Samaj Dal. He joined CPI(ML) in 1977. He was the District President of Indian People's Front during 80s. Very much respected by the people in his area, his commitment for the Party was also exemplary. He was a person always ready to help comrades during various movemental endeavours. Party fielded him twice in elections from Kunda Assembly constituency. His deep hatred towards feudal values and system and oppressive state led him to lead many socio-cultural and political movements. He was a staunch follower of the peasant movement started before independence by Baba Ramchandra in Pratapgarh which was consciously undermined and betrayed by Jawaharlal Nehru. .
Party organised a condolence meeting in his memory which was addressed by UP State Secretary Akhilendra Pratap Singh, CPI(ML) District Incharge Mahadev Patel, CPM District Secretary Lal Bahadur Tiwary, Ram Padarath and others. .
