Remember how the notion of freedom was spun by the ideologues of neoliberalism for decades prior to COVID? The freedom to consume. The freedom to make money. The freedom to be plunged into poverty and debt. Platitudes about ‘individual responsibility’ and ‘standing on your own two feet’. A relentless ideological attack on the state

GUWAHATI: A worried Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday that human trafficking from Assam is becoming more a serious problem than cattle smuggling and drug peddling. And the government is committed to rooting it out, he said.
The State police rescued 40 children and two adults of the State from Sikkim. Human traffickers lured them from the villages along the Assam-Bhutan border in Chirang district.
The Chief Minister interacted with the rescued children in Guwahati on Friday. He said, Women and children trafficking from Assam go on in thousands. The traffickers put some of them in flesh trade and the rest as domestic help. This menace is turning more serious than cattle smuggling and drug peddling. We have started intense raids to put an end to the menace. We have rescued 107 women and children in the past two months.
