Nearly 50 people die annually in Mizoram due to drugs: Official

Digital Desk | Aizawl, Oct 16 (IANS) An average of around 50 people die every year in Mizoram due to drug-related causes, with a total of 2,051 deaths recorded between 1984 and October 7 this year, officials said on Friday. Mizoram Excise and Narcotics Department (END) Joint Commissioner, Peter Zohmingthanga, while addressing a drug abuse prevention awareness campaign organised in collaboration with the Mizoram Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (MBOCWWB), highlighted the prevalence of drug abuse in the state and its harmful consequences. He stated that, from 1984 to October 7, 2026, a total of 2,051 people had died due to drug-related causes in Mizoram, comprising 1,799 males and 252 females. He also referred to the Survey Report on Drugs and Children in Mizoram 2022, which indicated that middle school students in the 10-14 age group in the state had already started using cannabis (ganja), highlighting the need for early intervention and awareness among children and adolescents. Highlighting the initiatives undertaken by the state government and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to combat drug abuse, Zohmingthanga explained the various steps students could take individually to stay away from drugs and contribute towards building a drug-free society. Addressing the event, Mizoram Excise and Narcotics Department Minister Lalnghinglova Hmar said that one of the major reasons behind the prevalence of drug abuse was the high demand for and consumption of drugs. He remarked that although Assam had previously served as a route for drug trafficking, its people had generally not been inclined towards drug use. The Minister particularly urged the students of Government Champhai College to stay completely away from drug abuse and lead a healthy life free from addiction. North Eastern Council (NEC) Secretary, Satinder Kumar Bhalla, praised the Mizo tradition of tlawmngaihna (volunteerism and selfless community service)', describing it as exemplary and commendable. Referring to the serious drug-related challenges faced by his home state of Punjab, Bhalla emphasised that for India to become a developed nation by 2047, people must give up drugs and other harmful practices and channel their thoughts, energy and abilities towards national development. He encouraged students to acquire skills that would enable them not only to earn a livelihood for themselves but also to create employment opportunities for others, thereby contributing to the country's economic growth. Mizoram and Manipur have emerged as major drug-trafficking corridors in the Northeast because of their long and porous International Borders with Myanmar and their proximity to the Golden Triangle, one of the world's major illicit narcotics-producing regions. The Golden Triangle, comprising parts of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand, has long been associated with the illicit production and trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. The region's proximity to India's Northeastern states has posed persistent challenges for security forces and drug enforcement agencies working to curb the cross-border smuggling of narcotics. Six districts of Mizoram and five districts of Manipur share a 910-km-long International Border with Myanmar, much of which remains unfenced, making the region vulnerable to cross-border smuggling and other illegal activities involving narcotics and contraband goods. The substances and items trafficked across the region include highly addictive methamphetamine tablets, heroin, foreign-made cigarettes, fertilisers and other contraband products.

EXCLUSIVE: Sabbir Khan reflects on the PRIDE of launching Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, Nidhhi Agerwal: It becomes your GLORY; says mass cinema needs to EVOLVE: It should reach out to maximum people but with intellect. We can't recycle the same tropes

There was a time when Hindi remakes of South Indian films worked well at the box office, despite the original films being available in Hindi-dubbed versions on satellite television or digital platforms. However, the trend changed after the pandemic. During the lockdown, several popular South Indian mass entertainers were widely consumed by audiences. As a result, they were consequently less interested in watching their Hindi remakes. Jersey (2022), starring Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur, was one such film that failed to attract audiences, with the popularity of the original's Hindi-dubbed version being seen as one of the reasons. Another film that falls into this category is Nikamma (2022). Directed by Sabbir Khan and starring Shilpa Shetty, Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia, it was a remake of the 2017 Telugu film Middle Class Abbayi. Its shoot commenced in 2019, and had it been released before the Covid restrictions kicked in in March 2020, Nikamma might have had a chance to work in cinemas. However, by the time it finally arrived in theatres on June 17, 2022, audience preferences had changed considerably. As a result, the film's box office performance was abysmal. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sabbir Khan was asked about the film's failure. When we remarked that Nikamma might have had a better chance at the box office had it released before the lockdown, the director replied, Exactly, I was going to tell you the same thing. It was conceptualized and made at a different time. The two-year lockdown period changed everybody's viewing patterns and intake of what they want to watch. He added, Not just Nikamma, that entire year, most films didn't do well. People at that time were just not interested in going to cinemas. Moreover, there was this whole thing against Bollywood. That is carrying forward even today. It's going to take a little time to structure back. I am hopeful that the films coming out now will be made by filmmakers who have understood that audiences no longer want to watch mediocre content. They have learned their lesson and will aim to deliver their best. They have learned that the audience doesn't want to see a mediocre film. So, they'll aim to make the best. Sabbir Khan began his directorial career with Kambakkht Ishq (2009), which was an average grosser, though its songs are remembered fondly even today. 'Bebo', in particular, continues to be popular on Instagram Reels. His next film, Heropanti (2014), marked the Bollywood debut of Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon, and both became instantly popular with the youth. His 2017 film Munna Michael marked the debut of Nidhhi Agerwal, who later made a mark in Tamil and Telugu cinema. In a recent interview, Kriti Sanon also fondly remembered Sabbir Khan and revealed that he had sent her a long, lovely message after watching her in Cocktail 2 (2026). We asked Sabbir Khan about his experience of launching actors who went on to become popular and the secret behind spotting promising newcomers. He replied, Since my first film Kambakkht Ishq, I have had it in my mind that there has to be a mix. That is, you have to work with people who know their job. At the same time, you have to introduce newcomers, be it actors or technicians. That becomes your glory in so many ways, as you are pushing newer talent. If nobody is going to do that, imagine the state we are going to be in. There are only a handful of stars and popular actors, and we are constantly seeing only them. Whenever something new is attempted, it might not necessarily do too well in the beginning, but you are excited about the potential that he or she has. People may say, This is a great actor, and if there's a better film, he or she will do well. He added, Also, there are so many new actors whom we see in series or films; they have so much potential. Sabbir has worked with Tiger Shroff in three films Heropanti, Baaghi (2016) and Munna Michael. When asked whether he is still in touch with the actor, Sabbir replied, Tiger and I are always in touch. We always speak and take each other's advice. He's like family only now. With Heropanti and Baaghi, Sabbir Khan proved that he understands mass cinema well. However, he believes that the definition of mass cinema has changed over the years. He explained, The current crop of filmmakers and the filmmakers who are coming up should understand what mass actually means. What mass meant 10 years ago or 5 years ago is different from what it means today. That mass audience is now much more educated and has exposure to social media. They are aware of almost everything that's happening in the world. Hence, our mass cinema should reflect that. It should reach out to maximum people but with intellect. We can't recycle the same tropes; it won't work. Finally, when asked about his upcoming projects, Sabbir Khan said, I am back in the writing room and working on a couple of exciting story ideas.

Trump says people leaking sensitive military info should be shot

Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 15 (IANS) US President Donald Trump has called for shooting people who leak sensitive military information, saying the disclosure of operational details surrounding American strikes against Iran had endangered a highly classified mission and forced him to change the timing of an attack. Speaking at an election rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, Trump said information about the departure and arrival times of American bombers had been leaked to the media before a planned operation against Iranian nuclear facilities. But they leaked. Leakers should be -- in my opinion, leakers should be shot. They should be shot, Trump told supporters. The President said the disclosures had appeared in The New York Times and CNN, identifying the timing of the mission involving B-2 stealth bombers departing from Missouri. He claimed the information was sufficiently sensitive to compromise the operation. They ought to go to jail and be shot. For the rest of their life, they should be in jail, Trump said. Trump did not identify the alleged leaker or provide evidence establishing who had disclosed the information. He also did not say whether any investigation had identified a suspect. According to his account, the original mission was abandoned after he consulted senior military officials about the disclosures. Trump said he spoke to General Razin Caine about the potential consequences of proceeding with the operation. He claimed he subsequently ordered the mission postponed, despite objections from pilots who had prepared for the assignment. I said let's change the time. So, I called off the raid. And you know who the unhappiest people were? The pilots. They were miserable, he said. Trump said the operation was eventually carried out two days later, using the same departure time that had initially been disclosed. He argued that repeating the original schedule had caught Iranian forces by surprise. The President described the mission as part of Washington's effort to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. He claimed Iranian forces had been waiting for the American bombers but had failed to detect them during the operation. Trump's account of the alleged leak, the postponement and the subsequent mission could not be independently established from his remarks. The President also argued that disclosing operational details during an active military campaign deserved particularly severe punishment. In the old days, we used to shoot leakers, you know, when -- when they leak what time you're going to attack a country, he said. No, leakers should be dealt with very, very strongly. They're real -- to me, they're -- they're the scum of the earth. His remarks were made before supporters at a campaign rally intended to strengthen Republican prospects in the November 3 congressional midterm elections. The United States has long maintained criminal laws governing the unauthorised disclosure of national defence information. The Espionage Act is among the principal federal statutes used in cases involving the unlawful retention or transmission of such material.
