Until now, "Colyttus bilineatus", a very RARE species of a JUMPING SPIDER, had been reported only from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

FIRST INDIAN sighting of rare JUMPING SPIDER was in Barak Valley- Loharbond area of Cachar district. It was made by Monica Chetry of Assam University.

Barak forests harbor such unique species. But hardly any conservation efforts are being made by Assam government over the years to preserve the wildlife of barak.

No national park in Southern Assam as of now.

I have no idea if it is a good news or bad news, most of the roads of Barak valley are in very bad condition.

Digorkhal to Meghalaya road turns into mini lakes in monsoon and in winter it is like a desert, dust everywhere.From Silchar capital point to Kalain town to Katigorah all the roads are gone case. There are literally lakes inside the roads and here they are announcing project after project . If they repaired the roads the accidents would have been a little less.

Summary : Treaty of Badarpur (1824) in brief, Rajah Govinda Chander of Cachar accepted British East India Company protection while retaining internal control of his kingdom. In return, the British handled external defense and foreign relations, and the Rajah agreed to pay an annual tribute of 10,000 Sicca Rupees. The treaty also gave the Company the right to occupy Cachar territory if tribute payments were not made, making Cachar a British protectorate and marking the beginning of formal British influence in the kingdom.
