PIL 36/2006 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR MADAN B. LOKUR HON’BLE MR JUSTICE P.K. MUSAHARY Pursuant to our order dated 1-10-2010 learned counsel for the Union of India say s that an additional affidavit has been filed by Shri DJ Borgohain, Chief Engine er (I&W), Brahmapautra Board and Shri Navin Kumar, Chief Engineer (P&D), Brahmap utra Board. Both these affidavits are not on record. Learned counsel for the Uni on of India has shown us copies of the affidavits. The Registry should place the se affidavits on record. Insofar as completion of the works under the Harang Drainage Development Scheme are concerned, Shri DJ Borgohain, Chief Engineer (I&W) had stated before us on 1-10-2010 that the works would be completed by 15-3-2011. He says in his additional affidavit that the work is in progress and the progress is in accorda nce with the target for completion, as committed on 1-10-2010. Insofar as the appointment of the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Brah maputra Board is concerned, Shri Navin Kumar, Chief Engineer (P&D) has stated, o n information received from the Ministry of Water Resources, Govt of India that the process is going on and will take another four months. It appears that the concerned authorities are not taking up the matter s eriously. It is entirely up to their whims and fancies if they want to appoint t he Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Brahmaputra Board but we hope that they wil l keep in mind the importance of the Brahmaputra river in Assam and the interest s of the people of Assam. It is stated in the additional affidavit that the appointments will be m ade within four months. We hope and trust that the respondents realize their res ponsibilities and make the appointments in accordance with law and expeditiously so that the people of Assam do not suffer at the hands of the Government of Ind ia. No further orders are required to be passed. The Public Interest Litigat ion is closed.
