DOOMDOOMA, May 21 - The Doomdooma Branch of the Assam Tea-Tribes Students Association (ATTSA) has vehemently protested the blocking of the entrance road to Hahchora LP School by some illegal encroachers.
The encroachers have even made the road unhygienic by allegedly throwing waste materials over it, thus causing health hazards for the school children.
The school is a traditional one in more than one sense. First, as the name suggests, it is situated in a traditional place, �Hahchora�, where the Muttock kingdom once set up a pond for ducks. The place assumes its name �Hahchora� from this pond.
Recently, a section of outsiders illegally encroached upon the land of the school and forcefully constructed their houses in such a way that the road leading to the entrance of the school has become narrow. Finding no alternative, the pupils were forced to use the NH-37 as an alternative road, which is quite risky for children of their age to cross due to speeding vehicles. The ATTSA, Doomdooma branch wrote to Deputy Commissioner of Tinsukia for action. But, so far no prompt action has been initiated by the administration, alleged local people.
