Assam: CBI books retired NFR Deputy Chief Engineer in DA case
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 21 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case against retired Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) Deputy Chief Engineer Sajal Kanti Das for allegedly possessing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income, officials said on Monday. The CBIs Guwahati branch has argued that Das and his wife, Sangita Das, accumulated disproportionate assets worth approximately Rs 88.20 lakh between 2016 and 2022. According to the probe agencys claim, the couples total assets, valued at around Rs 39.85 lakh in 2016, increased to Rs 1,28,66,946 by 2022. The alleged increase in assets forms the basis of the disproportionate assets case. The investigation has identified several properties and financial holdings allegedly linked to the couple in Assams Cachar district. Among the properties under scrutiny is a house valued at approximately Rs 19 lakh, reportedly constructed on five kathas of land at Rangpur locality in the Cachar district. The agency has also claimed that substantial parcels of land in Udharbond and Lakhipur localities were held in the name of Sangita Das. The CBI has further claimed that Sangita Das owned a commercial property in the Club Road area in Silchar, valued at around Rs 34 lakh. A flat on the same road, worth more than Rs 20 lakh, was allegedly registered in Sajal Kanti Dass name. As part of its investigation, the agency also identified multiple bank accounts, fixed deposits and term deposits maintained separately by the retired railway engineer and his wife. The financial holdings reportedly involved amounts running into several lakhs of rupees. Sajal Kanti Das had served as Deputy Chief Engineer with the Northeast Frontier Railway at Jiribam. The case concerns allegations of possession of assets beyond the couples known sources of income during the specified period. The properties, bank deposits and other financial holdings identified by the CBI remain subject to detailed investigation and verification. The registration of the case marks the beginning of the agencys formal investigation into the alleged accumulation of disproportionate assets. Further action will depend on the findings of the probe and the verification of the financial records and properties linked to the accused.
ED arrests Guwahati bookie in Rs 28 crore IPL betting case
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 21 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Deepesh Bajoria, a resident of Zoo Road in Guwahati, in connection with a money-laundering investigation into an alleged organised cricket-betting syndicate operating across Assam and the wider northeastern region, officials said on Monday. According to the agency, Bajoria was arrested on September 19 under Section 19(1) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. He was subsequently produced before the designated Special PMLA Court, CBI Court No. 3 in Guwahati, which remanded him to ED custody for six days. The investigation stems from an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) registered on March 30, 2023, based on an FIR lodged by the Crime Branch, Guwahati, and connected cases registered by Tinsukia and Panbazar police stations. The underlying cases involve alleged offences under Sections 120B, 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code, along with provisions of the Assam Game and Betting Act, 1970, concerning illegal cricket betting during Indian Premier League (IPL) seasons. The ED alleged that Bajoria acted as a principal bookie in the syndicate, using online betting platforms, including skyexchange.com and winner7.io, as well as encrypted messaging channels to facilitate betting transactions and settlements. The agency said funds allegedly generated through the betting operations were routed through the bank account of partnership firm M/s DRM Coke, in which Bajoria is a partner. According to the ED, the account, despite being represented as belonging to a non-operational firm, recorded credits of approximately Rs 28.12 crore and debits of around Rs 28.03 crore between April 19, 2022, and May 15, 2026. The agency alleged that the account was primarily used to route betting-related funds. Searches conducted at Bajorias premises on May 26 under Section 17 of the PMLA led to the recovery of property documents, luxury vehicle records and digital data from email accounts and mobile devices, the ED said. The agency claimed that material gathered during the investigation, including statements recorded under Section 50 of the PMLA, indicated Bajorias alleged involvement in dealing with proceeds of crime. The ED said it was continuing to investigate the source, movement, utilisation and beneficiaries of the funds, as well as other financial transactions. Further investigation is underway.
BJP-AIUDF Understanding Visible in Nagaon: Bhupesh Baghel Targets Himanta Sarma Ahead of Bypoll
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 21 (IANS): Congress General Secretary and Assam in-charge Bhupesh Baghel on Monday alleged that an understanding between Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal was evident in the ongoing electoral contest in Nagaon. Addressing the media in Nagaon, Baghel claimed that the political understanding between the two leaders could be seen during the campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha by-election. Right now, elections are underway here in Nagaon, and the alliance between Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal is visible here, Baghel said. However, the Congress leader did not elaborate on the specific incidents or evidence supporting his allegation. Baghels remarks come amid an increasingly competitive electoral contest in Nagaon, where the Congress and the BJP-led alliance are campaigning to consolidate support ahead of polling on October 6. Meanwhile, the Congress has announced a list of 40 star campaigners for the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election, featuring senior party leaders and prominent figures from Assam and other states. The list was submitted to the Election Commission by Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal on September 16 under Section 77(1) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Among the prominent campaigners named are former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi, Congress MP Wazed Ali Choudhury, former Assam minister Rakibul Hussain and party spokespersons Pawan Khera and Supriya Shrinate. The list also includes NSUI national president Uday Bhanu Chib and Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar. Other senior leaders named as star campaigners include Assam Congress Legislative Party leader Debabrata Saikia, former state Congress president Ripun Bora, former minister Paban Singh Ghatowar, Alka Lamba, Imran Pratapgarhi, Srinivas BV and former Tripura minister Sudip Roy Barman. The Congress is seeking to strengthen its campaign in the constituency as political parties mobilise support ahead of the bypoll.

The election is expected to witness a multi-cornered contest involving the Congress, BJP and other political parties. --IANS tdr/
ISRO's advanced radar facility in Assam marks state's entry into space research era: CM (Ld)
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 21 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday performed the Bhumi Pujan and laid the foundation stone for the Indian Space Research Organisations (ISRO) ISTRAC Advanced Radar Research Facility (IARRF) at Chandrapur, marking a major step in strengthening the states scientific and technological infrastructure. The facility, being established under ISROs Network for Space Object Tracking and Analysis (NETRA) programme, is expected to enhance Indias capabilities in monitoring and tracking objects in space and protecting the countrys space assets. The advanced research centre will be equipped with sophisticated radar systems and optical telescopes designed to support the tracking of space objects and strengthen Indias space situational awareness capabilities. The Assam government has allocated nearly 200 bighas of land for the project, which is expected to expand the states participation in Indias growing space research ecosystem. Speaking to the media after the foundation stone-laying ceremony, Chief Minister Sarma expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ISRO leadership for selecting Assam as the location for the advanced radar research facility. Sarma said the establishment of the centre would place Assam on the countrys space research map and represent a significant advancement in the states scientific infrastructure. He described the project as an important milestone in Assams transition towards new opportunities in science, technology and institutional development. Reflecting on the states journey, the Chief Minister said Assam had moved beyond a period associated with unrest and was now witnessing the creation of institutions and opportunities for its people. He added that the Chandrapur facility symbolised Assams entry into a new phase of space science and research, while highlighting the importance of advanced scientific infrastructure in shaping the states future. The project is expected to contribute to Indias efforts to improve space object tracking and monitoring, while also bringing Assam into a specialised area of the countrys strategic scientific infrastructure.

Assam CM reviews AIIMS Guwahati, stresses quality healthcare
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 21 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday inspected key healthcare, sports and urban infrastructure projects in and around Amingaon, reviewing the progress of AIIMS Guwahati, an international-standard cricket stadium and a proposed multi-level car parking facility. During his visit to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Guwahati, at Changsari, Sarma assessed the institutions medical services, infrastructure and ongoing activities. He interacted with doctors, officials and healthcare personnel to review the premier medical institute's functioning and the facilities available to patients. The Chief Minister held discussions with AIIMS Guwahati Executive Director Prof. Ashok Puranik on measures to strengthen patient-centric healthcare services. He emphasised the need to ensure quality treatment, adequate amenities and accessible healthcare for people from Assam and other parts of the Northeast. Sarma later visited the under-construction 2,000-seater, international-standard cricket stadium at Amingaon and reviewed progress on the sporting facility and its associated infrastructure. The stadium is part of a broader sports infrastructure ecosystem being developed in the area, which includes the National Centre of Excellence for Badminton and a High-Performance Swimming Centre. According to the state government, the integrated facilities are expected to enhance Assams sporting capabilities and support the hosting of national and international sporting events. The Chief Minister also inspected the proposed site of a Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP) facility near the Integrated District Commissioners Office of Kamrup and the cricket stadium. He reviewed plans for parking arrangements, traffic management, connectivity and supporting infrastructure around the developing sports complex. Sarma directed officials and agencies involved in the projects to maintain close coordination and adopt an integrated planning approach. He stressed the importance of efficient traffic movement, adequate parking and seamless connectivity to ensure public convenience. He further instructed the concerned authorities to complete the projects within stipulated timelines while maintaining quality standards. MLA Diganta Kalita, Kamrup District Commissioner Deba Kumar Mishra, and other senior officials attended the inspection. The visit highlighted the state governments focus on strengthening advanced healthcare infrastructure while developing sports facilities and urban amenities in Assam.
FMR or RMR facilitates regulated cross-border movement along India-Myanmar border
Digital Desk | Kohima, Sep 21 (IANS) The Free Movement Regime (FMR) or Regulated Movement Regime (RMR) facility allows eligible residents of villages located within 10 km of the India-Myanmar border on either side to undertake regulated cross-border movement, officials said on Monday. A defence spokesman said that the scale of legitimate movement facilitated under the FMR/RMR also underscores that the mechanism is not intended to prevent people-to-people contact, but to regulate such movement in accordance with the prescribed conditions. According to official records, 16,428 Border Passes have been issued so far, indicating that regulated cross-border movement continues to be facilitated for eligible people who meet the prescribed requirements, the spokesman said. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 2024 announced that the Free Movement Regime (FMR), which earlier allowed people residing along the India-Myanmar border to travel 16 km into each other's territory without a passport and visa, would be scrapped soon. Instead, the MHA decided to replace the FMR with a new scheme to issue a pass to the border residents of both India and Myanmar living within 10 km on either side of the frontier to regulate cross-border movements. The Nagaland and Mizoram governments and a large number of political parties and civil societies in the two Northeastern states have been strongly opposing both border fencing and the scrapping of the FMR. Four Northeastern states -- Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland, and Mizoram -- share a 1,643-km unfenced border with Myanmar. The MHA had earlier decided to erect fencing on the entire porous border, known for the smuggling of arms, ammunition, narcotics, illegal cross-border movement and various other contrabands, at a cost of Rs 31,000 crore. The defence spokesman, in a statement, said that a section of the media recently alleged that the Assam Rifles stopped the Naga Students Federation (NSF) delegation from travelling to Myanmar at Avangkhu in Meluri district of Nagaland, without seeking clarification from the competent authorities and understanding the policies on the subject matter. It is hereby clarified by the Assam Rifles that the movement of the delegation of the NSF towards Myanmar was stopped in the absence of the requisite authorisation required for crossing the international border and not on account of its identity or the stated purpose of its visit, as being reported by the media outlet or claimed by NSF, the statement said. It said that eight persons arrived at the designated crossing point in three vehicles on September 19. The delegates, according to the statement, expressed their intention to cross the Indo-Myanmar Border towards Tsera in Myanmar. On being asked for the documents essentially required for an authorised cross-border movement, the delegation was unable to produce a valid Border Pass or Permission issued by the competent authority, the statement said. The issue, therefore, is that of regulatory compliance rather than denial of cultural or people-to-people contact. Unfortunately, social media and media platforms are being used by posting public statements and messaging to portray the incident as an attack on the Naga identity and turn a specific border - regulation issue into a wider community - versus - security - force narrative, it said. It is reiterated that the cross-border movement is subject to the prescribed conditions laid down in the policy on the subject. The prevailing regulated movement framework provides for cross-border movement through designated points subject to prescribed eligibility and documentation. The delegation of NSF had travelled from Kohima, the state capital and therefore was not legally authorised to claim automatic entitlement to cross-border movement, merely based on its proposed cultural-exchange programme or reference letters, the statement pointed out. The statement said: A reference letter or recommendation from a civil organisation is not a valid document that constitutes permission to cross an international boundary.

Assam CM pays tribute to Srimanta Sankardev on Janmotsav, calls his teachings a guiding force
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 21 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday paid tribute to Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev on the occasion of his Janmotsav, recalling the revered saint's enduring contribution to Assamese society and his influence on the state's cultural and spiritual identity. In a post on X, Sarma offered his obeisances to Srimanta Sankardev, describing him as a guiding light for Assamese society and invoking the traditional greeting, Joi Guru Shankar. Today, on the auspicious occasion of Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev's Janmotsav, I pay my obeisances to our revered Gurujona, the guiding light of Assamese society, Sarma wrote. The Chief Minister said the teachings of Srimanta Sankardev continued to provide direction in efforts to build a vibrant Assam and a developed India, or Viksit Bharat. His teachings always show us the path in our efforts to build a vibrant Assam and Viksit Bharat, he said. Srimanta Sankardev, a 15th-16th century saint-scholar, poet, playwright and social reformer, is widely recognised for shaping Assam's religious, cultural and artistic traditions. His Ekasarana Naam Dharma movement played a significant role in the spread of devotional practices, while his contributions to literature, music, theatre and dance remain central to Assamese cultural heritage. His legacy is particularly associated with the development of Sattriya traditions, Borgeet and Ankiya Naat, alongside the establishment of satras and naamghars that became important institutions of Assamese social and spiritual life. Sarma's message on Janmotsav highlighted the continued relevance of Sankardev's teachings in contemporary Assam, linking the saint's vision and values with the state's aspirations for social progress and national development. The observance of Sankardev's birth anniversary holds deep cultural significance across Assam, where devotees and communities organise religious programmes, cultural events and commemorative activities to honour his legacy. The Chief Minister's tribute reflected the importance of Srimanta Sankardev's philosophy in Assam's public and cultural discourse, particularly in discussions surrounding the preservation of Assamese identity, social harmony and the state's future development.

RSS leader calls casteism a blot on Hindu society, urges collective effort for social harmony
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Sep 20 (IANS) Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale on Sunday described casteism and untouchability as a blot on Hindu society and stressed that service to society and patriotism cannot remain limited to swayamsevaks alone. Speaking at a large gathering of around 30,000 swayamsevaks organised as part of the RSS centenary year at Lal Parade Ground here, he said every citizen must come forward during times of crisis and fulfil their role for the nation and society. Hosabale asserted that discrimination practised in the name of caste weakens society and cannot be eradicated merely through laws, sermons or the appearance of any divine figure. The change, he emphasised, must begin from ones own home and personal conduct. He called upon people to take a firm resolve that they would neither practise caste discrimination nor allow any trace of untouchability to remain. The questions confronting society, he said, do not belong to any single community or group but to everyone. Considering oneself separate on the basis of caste, sect, language or region only dilutes the strength of organisation. Society must therefore awaken and unite collectively. Drawing an analogy, Hosabale observed that four fingers remain weak when separate but gain strength when clenched into a fist. In the same way, society must organise itself to play its rightful role in national progress. An awakened and organised society, he underlined, is essential for the countrys advancement. Leaders of different communities and groups need to come together and recognise that the challenges before society are shared by all. Patriotism, he said, should not be a sentiment reserved for a single day such as 26 January but a 24-hour commitment. Every citizen must constantly reflect on what they can contribute to their village, locality and society in the larger national interest. He urged people to spend at least one hour daily in a selfless manner in their neighbourhoods to strengthen social organisation. Shakhas, he noted, work towards individual character-building and uniting society, transcending barriers of caste and language. On environmental protection, Hosabale stressed that merely passing resolutions from platforms is insufficient. Awareness and responsible action must be practised in homes, schools, workplaces, markets, streets and localities. Planting trees, reducing energy consumption and keeping rivers clean are collective responsibilities that will safeguard resources for future generations. Citing the recent Assam floods, he pointed out that while Seva Bharati swayamsevaks had reached out with relief work, people from various sections of society, including youth and college students, had also come forward in large numbers to help the affected. Service, he said, is not the sole responsibility of RSS workers; every individual must step up during crises. Similarly, the development of villages and localities is not the exclusive duty of the government and administration. Residents themselves must take ownership. Hosabale also highlighted the need to impart cultural values drawn from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, the teachings of saints and the guidance of gurus to the younger generation.
