Digital Desk | Agartala, Nov 12 (IANS) Amid a controversy over alleged derogatory remarks by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Tafajjal Hossain about the food habits and lifestyle of the tribal community, the ruling party in Tripura on Thursday served a show-cause notice to the legislator, asking him to submit his explanation within seven days, failing which disciplinary action would be initiated in accordance with party rules. In the show-cause notice, Tripura BJP Disciplinary Committee Convener Tapas Bhattacharjee said that a video which recently went viral on social media had come to the notice of the state party leadership. In the video, Hossain was allegedly heard making objectionable and derogatory remarks about the food habits and daily lifestyle of the state's tribal communities. The notice stated that the content and manner of presentation in the video had caused widespread resentment and concern among members of the tribal community and various other sections of society, the notice said. It also added that maintaining harmony among different communities in Tripura's diverse social and cultural environment was a collective responsibility of every public representative, and such conduct was in no way acceptable from an elected representative holding a position of responsibility. The BJP disciplinary committee also took exception to what it described as speculative statements made by the MLA in the names of the incumbent Chief Minister Manik Saha and a former Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb, saying that such remarks had triggered adverse reactions among the people of the state. With the approval of the State BJP President Abhishek Debroy, the notice directed Hossain to clarify his role and position on the issues raised within seven days of receiving it and submit a written explanation to the party's state headquarters, saying why disciplinary action should not be initiated against him. The notice warned that failure to submit a satisfactory response within the stipulated period would invite action under the party's disciplinary rules. The controversy erupted after a video circulated on social media on Tuesday, purportedly showing the BJP legislator making objectionable comments about pig and pork, a popular food among tribal communities in the Northeast. Non-tribals also occasionally eat pork. On Wednesday, Hossain expressed regret over his remarks and appealed for peace and communal harmony. In a video message posted on social media, the MLA sought to clarify his comments, allegedly made at Sonamura in Sepahijala district. Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha earlier said on Thursday that the law would take its own course and that the party was also examining the matter. The Chief Minister added that he had already discussed the issue with State BJP President Abhishek Debroy and that the matter was under consideration. MLA Tafajjal Hossain has already expressed regret over his remarks. The matter should be looked at from this perspective. However, such remarks should not be made, CM Saha told the media. Several tribal organisations affiliated with the BJP's ally, the Tipra Motha Party (TMP), as well as the Opposition CPI-M, have lodged complaints at various police stations in Agartala, demanding legal action against Hossain, 52. TMP founder and supremo Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma demanded an apology from the legislator, while State CPI-M Secretary and Leader of the Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury urged the state government to take appropriate action. In an earlier development, the BJP had served a show-cause notice to Hossain in October last year for making adverse comments against former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb and former Union Minister Pratima Bhoumik. Hossain was elected to the Tripura Assembly from the Boxanagar constituency in Sepahijala district for the first time in the 2023 Assembly elections. Pork is among the most preferred meats across the eight Northeastern states, with the annual pork trade in the region estimated at Rs 8,000 crore to Rs 10,000 crore. Assam is the largest supplier of pork in the region.
Assam Agriculture Minister sets Jan 15 deadline for 100 pc farmer registration
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Nov 12 (IANS) Assam Agriculture Minister Pijush Hazarika on Thursday set a January 15 deadline for completing 100 per cent farmer registration in Dhemaji district, while reviewing the implementation of key agricultural schemes and inspecting innovative farming projects. During a day-long visit to the district, Hazarika inspected integrated farming, sunn hemp cultivation and oil palm projects before chairing a departmental review meeting at the District Commissioner's conference hall. Officials informed the Minister that Dhemaji has so far achieved 83 per cent of its farmer registration target. Expressing the need to bring all eligible cultivators under the registration process, Hazarika directed the department to ensure 100 per cent coverage by January 15. The Minister began his field visit at Arnai Chapori, where he inspected a 22-bigha integrated farm developed by progressive farmer Bhuban Pegu. The farm has adopted a diversified model involving areca nut, tomato, papaya and pineapple cultivation, along with poly-tank pisciculture. At Demow, Hazarika also reviewed sunn hemp cultivation and highlighted its potential in improving soil fertility and promoting green manure practices. He later visited oil palm and multi-crop horticulture farms developed by farmers Bamun Islary and Dilip Boro in the Dipa area and interacted with local cultivators to understand challenges facing agricultural activities. During the review meeting, the Minister issued a series of directions to officials, including the formation of more Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) and regular field-level 'Khet Bachao' awareness programmes. He also asked the department to expedite the identification of land required to meet oil palm cultivation targets and hold joint meetings involving the Fisheries and Agriculture departments to promote Makhana cultivation. Hazarika further directed officials to address bottlenecks faced by local agri-entrepreneurs seeking support under the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF). Paddy procurement certificates were also distributed to several farmers during the programme. Cabinet Minister Ranoj Pegu, MP Pradan Baruah and MLAs Bhuban Pegu and Jibon Gogoi accompanied Hazarika during the visit.
'Advantage Assam' promises turning into projects on ground: CM Sarma
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Nov 12 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Thursday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government is translating investment commitments made during the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit into projects on the ground, as the state steps up its push to emerge as a major industrial and investment destination in the Northeast. The Chief Minister added that nearly Rs 3 lakh crore worth of investments announced at the summit are already taking shape across Assam. In a post on social media platform X, CM Sarma said he had recently inaugurated an eco-friendly AAC blocks manufacturing unit in Tinsukia, describing it as another step towards delivering on the commitments made during Advantage Assam 2.0. We are turning every announcement at #AdvantageAssam 2.0 into reality, the Chief Minister said, adding that the new industrial unit reflected the state government's focus on converting investment proposals into operational projects. The Assam government has been aggressively pursuing an industry-led growth strategy, positioning the state as a gateway to the Northeast and a key investment destination in eastern India. The Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit, organised earlier this year, was a major part of this strategy, with the state government seeking investments across sectors ranging from infrastructure, energy and manufacturing to technology, tourism and agriculture. The state government has also highlighted improvements in connectivity, industrial infrastructure and the overall business environment as key factors driving investor interest in Assam. Chief Minister Sarma has repeatedly said that the focus is not limited to attracting investment announcements but on ensuring their implementation and creating employment opportunities for the state's youth. The latest project in Tinsukia also underlines the state government's efforts to expand industrial activity beyond Guwahati and other traditional urban centres, taking new manufacturing and investment opportunities to different parts of the state. The state government has in recent years rolled out several initiatives aimed at improving ease of doing business and attracting both domestic and global investors. With investment proposals now moving towards implementation, the Assam government is seeking to demonstrate that the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit was not merely a platform for signing agreements, but a roadmap for accelerating industrialisation, generating jobs and strengthening the state's economy.

Why professional networking is a job search asset that AI can
NEW YORK, November 12, 2026 (AP) Canned rejection emails. Job interviews conducted by AI chatbots. Hundreds of employment applications submitted with no response.

Rupee falls 6 paise to 93.77 against US dollar in early trade
Mumbai, Nov 12 (PTI) The rupee fell 6 paise to 93.77 against the US dollar in early trade on Thursday, weighed down by the strengthening of the American currency.

3 CRPF personnel injured in Kulgam terror attack: Police
Srinagar, Nov 11:Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured on Wednesday afternoon when terrorists opened fire at a checkpoint in the Nowpora Akhran area near Mir Bazar in south Kashmirs Kulgam district. The attack occurred around 2:15 pm at a naka (checkpoint) manned by personnel of the CRPFs 46th Battalion, located roughly two kilometres off the National Highway. Officials said the personnel were part of a bridge guard deployment when the attackers carried out hit and run assault, firing a burst of rounds before fleeing the scene. Security forces returned fire, however terrorists managed to escape from the spot. The injured personnel have been identified as Constable Rakesh Dass (son of Arun Dass of Assam), who sustained a bullet injury to the leg and is stable, Constable Santosh Chandru (son of Mahavir of West Bengal), who received gunshot wounds to the abdomen and spine and was critical. He was initially taken into the operation theatre at Government Medical College (GMC) Anantnag; as his condition deteriorated, he was later airlifted to the 92 Base Hospital in Srinagar for advanced treatment and Head Constable Somveer Singh (son of Mahaveer of Madhya Pradesh), who suffered a firearm injury to the left arm and is stable. All three were immediately evacuated to GMC Anantnag. Deputy Commissioner Anantnag, Bilal Mohiuddin, visited the hospital, met the injured jawans, and enquired about their condition and well-being. Police, Army, and paramilitary forces quickly cordoned off the area and launched a large-scale joint cordon-and-search operation with Quick Reaction Teams deployed. Senior officers from the three forces reached the spot to supervise. Additional forces have been deployed, barricades strengthened, and a general alert sounded in Kulgam and adjoining areas. Investigators are also examining CCTV footage from nearby locations. A CRPF spokesperson confirmed the firing on CRPF Naka at Kulgam, adding that operations are underway to nab the perpetrators and that the best possible treatment is being provided to the injured. This is the third terror-related attack in South Kashmir in the last three months. On July 22, Head Constable Aashiq Hussain Qureshi of the J&K Police was shot dead near Lal Chowk in Anantnag while on Amarnath Yatra duty. On July 31, two migrant labourers from Chhattisgarh were killed at a brick kiln in Kulgams Kilam (Kellam) area. The Resistance Front had claimed the July attacks. Parts of Kulgam, including Mir Bazar, Qazigund, and Shamsipora, lie near key transit corridors; checkpoints and road-opening parties have periodically been targeted in hit-and-run incidents. The districts forested upper reaches have also served as hideouts, prompting extended joint operations. The incident occurred on the same day Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was in Kulgam to inaugurate the three-day Veshow Festival at Government Degree College. Officials confirmed the festival venue was not near the attack site. The festival celebrates the regions Rishi-Sufi heritage, literature, art, and handicrafts. The attack also follows the November 8 arrest of two suspected terror associates Muneeb Yaseen Rather and Tahir Bilal, both of Bugam, Kulgam from whom a pistol, ammunition, and hand grenades were recovered during a joint checkpoint operation. VIRAL CLAIM OF USE OF MOTORCYCLE FOUND FALSE: POLICE A claim circulating on social media linking a motorcycle to the attack on a CRPF checkpoint in south Kashmirs Kulgam district has been found to befalse following verification, Police said. In a verification report, shared SSP Kulgam Anayat Ali Choudhary ,clarified that the Avengers motorcycle bearing registration number JK18A-5431, allegedly used by terrorists during the attack and reportedly owned by Yasir Yousuf of Qaimoh, was not being used by the attackers. The verification established that the motorcycle was being used by Yasirs brother, Shaukat Yousuf, son of Muhammad Yousuf, who was working at a nursery located on their own land near the incident site. Officials said the viral claim suggesting that the motorcycle was used by terrorists was contrary to the facts established during verification. The clarification comes amid heightened security measures and an ongoing investigation into the attack on a CRPF checkpoint in the Nowpora Akhran area near Mir Bazar, in which three CRPF personnel were injured after motorcycle-borne attackers opened fire on Wednesday afternoon. Officials have urged people to avoid circulating unverified information on social media.
