      Assam

      Follow Following
      -  Followers

      Assam is a state in northeast India, known for its lush landscapes, diverse culture, and rich natural resources. With Dispur as its capital, Assam is famous for its tea plantations, Brahmaputra River, Kaziranga National Park, and vibrant festivals like Bihu. Assam’s culture reflects a blend of indigenous traditions, with various ethnic groups contributing to its music, dance, cuisine, and handicrafts. The state is also a hub of wildlife, being home to endangered species like the one-horned rhinoceros and the Bengal tiger.

      Assam’s economy is primarily based on agriculture, tea production, and the oil and natural gas industry. The state plays a crucial role in India’s tea industry, producing a significant share of the world’s tea. It has a strategic geographical location, sharing borders with Bhutan, Bangladesh, and other northeastern states, making it an important trade and cultural link.

      Politically, Assam is governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been in power since 2016, having won consecutive elections in 2021. The current Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, took office in May 2021, succeeding Sarbananda Sonowal. Himanta Biswa Sarma, known for his strong administrative and political strategies, has focused on infrastructure development, healthcare, education reforms, and addressing ethnic issues in Assam. His government has also worked on counter-insurgency measures and tackling illegal immigration, two of the state's most pressing concerns.

      The state has also experienced ethnic conflicts and insurgency issues, primarily involving demands for autonomy or protection of local cultures. The government’s focus has been on development, infrastructure, and maintaining peace while addressing the concerns of indigenous communities.

      In September 2018, BOOM fact-checked a viral advertisement claiming to recruit for the Territorial Army.

      Harmeet Singh, ADGP (Security), Assam, informed BOOM that the Indian Army had reached out to the state police, confirming that the advertisement was fraudulent, thereby clarifying the misleading narrative.
