Shillong Lajong decimate Malaysian Armed Forces
Shillong Lajong FC opens campaign with a dominating victory over Malaysia team
Shillong Lajong FC began their 134th Indian Oil Durand Cup campaign in commanding fashion, defeating Malaysias Armed Forces Football Team (ATM FT) 6-0 in the opening match of Group E here at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Everbrightson Sana and Phrangki Buam scored a brace each, while substitutes Treimiki Lamurong and Deibormame Tongper added a goal apiece as the young Shillong side delivered a clinical and confident performance. Shillong Lajong head coach Birendra Thapa opted for a youthful 4-3-3 formation, with Sheen Stevenson and Phrangki Buam leading the line alongside Everbrightson Sana in a false nine role. Malaysian Armed Forces FT, coached by Mohamad Khairil Hafiz Mohd. Zanggi started with a strong XI in the same system, featuring Mohd Suhaim, Nasir Yasa, and Ibramin Muhamat Moha in attack. The match began with Shillong asserting their dominance in possession. Their early pressure paid off in the 12th minute when Everbrightson Sana headed in a pinpoint cross from Rudra Ved, after a smart freekick routine initiated by Sheen Stevenson. The young Indian side continued to test the Malaysian Armed Forces defence with fluid attacking play and relentless pressing. Malaysia's best chance in the first half came through a volley attempt by Mohamad Syamim Yusoff, which narrowly missed the target after a cross was punched clear by Shillong keeper Siwel Rymbai. However, the Shillong defence, led by skipper Kenstar Kharsong and Saveme Tariang, remained firm to protect the lead. The second half saw Shillong accelerate further. Within the first five minutes, Phrangki Buam netted twice, first by guiding in a freekick from Stevenson in the 47th minute, and then doubling his tally with a calm finish after a clever through ball two minutes later.

Meghalaya signs 13 pacts to turn agri-waste into rural wealth, boost farmers' incomes
SHILLONG: With hundreds of tonnes of pineapple peels, banana stems, and flower waste going unused each year, the Meghalaya government on Friday signed 13 MoUs with leading technical and research institutions to convert farm and floral waste into organic compost and herbal colours, including gulal, officials said on Friday. The initiative also aims to promote the production of health foods from millets, sorghum, and maize as part of a broader push to boost rural entrepreneurship, improve farmers' incomes, and reduce environmental waste through value addition, they said. The pacts were signed during the Summit for Rural Empowerment at the State Convention Centre here and form part of the state's efforts under the Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Vikas Mission (PMJVM) to transform rural livelihoods through innovation, technology, and market linkages. Officials said six more pacts are likely to be signed and are expected to further strengthen livelihood initiatives in tribal and remote areas of the state. The government aims to shift from low-value primary production to high-value processing of local resources in a manner that is both economically and ecologically sustainable. Activities under the new MoUs include producing compost from fruit waste, extracting essential oils from medicinal plants, converting flowers into natural dyes, and developing nutritious food products from indigenous crops, officials added. Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, speaking at the event, said the summit showcases the government's sustained commitment to farmers, women, and rural communities. Over the last seven years, the state has facilitated the formation of more than 55,000 SHGs involving over 5 lakh women, and extended support to over 2 lakh farmers and 20,000 farmer collectives, the CM said. Addressing concerns such as delays in seed supply, Sangma said the CM Farm Plus Scheme is expected to streamline farm input delivery and boost productivity. He also highlighted that the government has spent Rs 50 crore in the past eight months under the CM Assure Programme to stabilise the prices of key crops like turmeric and betelnut. Agriculture Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh called PMJVM a far-sighted transformation that is already bearing fruit. She said flagship initiatives like the CM Farm Plus Scheme and the State Organic Farming Mission, currently implemented across 52,000 hectares and targeting 1 lakh hectares by 2028, are vital to reviving the rural economy. She also informed that 169 Vikas Divyangta Vikas Kendras (VDVKs) have been sanctioned, benefiting over 50,000 people. Each VDVK supports 15 self-help groups (SHGs) of which 60 per cent are from tribal communities, and provides Rs 15 lakh in financial assistance for equipment, training, and marketing support. Dr Vijay Kumar D of the Meghalaya Basin Management Agency (MBMA) said the MoUs will help convert VDVKs into viable rural enterprises by connecting them with reputed institutions across India. He also recalled Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's praise of Meghalaya as a self-reliant and resilient model for the country.
Meghalaya HC seeks answers after 4,000 MT of illegal coal vanishes from state-monitored depots
SHILLONG: The High Court of Meghalaya has sought accountability from the state government and its agencies after nearly 4,000 metric tonnes (MT) of illegally mined coal vanished from two coal depots in the stateRajaju and Diengngan villagesdespite the stock being previously recorded through official surveys. In a scathing observation, the High Court bench headed by Justice HS Thangkhiew, which heard the matter on Thursday, has asked authorities to identify the individuals or officials responsible for allowing the disappearance of coal that had already been detected and flagged for action. The revelation comes from the 31st interim report submitted by the Justice (Retd) BP Katakey Committee, which is monitoring coal mining and transportation issues in the state. The report states that during ground verification, only 2.5 MT of coal was found at Diengngan against the 1,839.03 MT earlier recorded by the Meghalaya Basin Development Authority (MBDA), while at Rajaju, just 8 MT remained out of the 2,121.62 MT recorded. The court observed that this illegal coal was detected much earlier, and yet, unidentified persons managed to lift and transport the coal, raising serious questions about enforcement on the ground. It directed the state to take urgent action to trace those responsible and ensure officials under whose watch the lapse occurred are held to account. Apart from the vanishing coal, the report also highlighted several unresolved issues around the disposal of re-assessed and re-verified inventoried coal stockpiled at Coal India Limited (CIL) depots. Following the court's order dated June 2, meetings were held with various stakeholders, including CIL, to formulate a more reliable and expeditious method of auctioning the remaining inventoried coal. CIL submitted four proposals, three of which are already part of the Revised Comprehensive Plan, 2022, even as the committee has recommended the inclusion of two new clauses mandating that full payment must be made within 120 days, and that coal be lifted within 120 days of full payment. Failure to comply would result in bid cancellation, forfeiture of the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD), and re-auctioning of the coal. To make the auction process more inclusive and effective, the committee has also recommended that meetings be convened with local authorised coal-based industries to encourage their participation. It also proposed offering concessional rates to bulk consumers besides a suggestion was also made by CIL that the auction process be temporarily paused until all pending issues are resolved. The court noted that the state has accepted this recommendation and has currently put fresh auctions of inventoried coal on hold. The committee also examined 21 applications from individuals claiming that their coal stocks were not reflected in the UAV survey conducted by M/s Garuda UAV and MBDA. Of these, only one claim was found to be genuine, the court observed. Fourteen applicants' coal stocks could not be matched with the survey coordinates, six were not supported by affidavits submitted to the Supreme Court, and one individual's coal was not part of the official inventory, the court noted. The high court has asked the state to clarify what action has been taken in response to these applicationswhether police complaints or FIRs under the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, have been filedand to report the outcomes. A status report filed by the state in response to the Committee's 30th Interim Report confirmed that FIRs had been filed in connection with the missing coal in Rajaju and Diengngan, as well as in South Garo Hills, but provided no further details on investigation or accountability. The committee has directed deputy commissioners to cross-check the physical coal stock with UAV survey data and lodge FIRs in cases of significant discrepancies. The report also addressed the issue of mismatch between truck numbers and transport challans, stating the discrepancy arose from mechanical breakdowns and reloading of coal onto alternate vehicles, and not from fraudulent documentation. Overloading concerns are reportedly being addressed by enforcement teams. On the reported death of a coal miner in Musiang village, a police report has found the claim to be false. Regarding ongoing efforts to regulate and monitor coal-based industries, the report noted that the source audit of coke oven plants is still in progress. The Advocate General has assured the court that the audit findings will be placed on record at the next hearing. As challenges continue with the implementation of Smart Check Gates at mining and transport points, the committee noted that integration with customs check gates is being actively explored to strengthen coal movement monitoring. The report also recorded progress in the recovery of demurrage charges, and a total of Rs 13.49 lakh has been realised so far, with Rs 5.01 lakh pending. Notices have been issued to recover the outstanding amount, the court was informed. Taking into account the multiple pending issues related to coal auction, illegal mining, missing coal stocks, and mine closures, the court has scheduled the matter for further hearing on August 25, and directed that copies of the 31st interim report be made available to all relevant parties for compliance and further action.
