DRI seizes 76 kg methamphetamine in Assam, Mizoram; 2 arrested
New Delhi, Aug 28: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized 76 kg of suspected methamphetamine tablets in two intelligence-led operations in Assam and Mizoram and arrested two people under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. In the latest operation on August 25, DRI officers, assisted by personnel of the 38th Battalion of Assam Rifles, intercepted a 12-wheeler truck at Lalpani, around 40 km from Silchar near the Assam-Manipur border. The truck was identified from a convoy of vehicles travelling from Jiribam in Manipur. During a detailed search, officers found a specially fabricated concealed cavity behind the drivers seat containing 36 packets weighing 1 kg each and 100 smaller packets weighing 200 grams each. The packets contained pinkish-orange tablets suspected to be methamphetamine. Preliminary tests using a field detection kit indicated the presence of amphetamine. The 56 kg of suspected contraband and the truck were seized under the NDPS Act, and the occupant of the vehicle was arrested. In a separate operation on August 18, DRI officers intercepted a car on the Aizawl-Champhai Road at Bung Bangla, around 30 km from Aizawl. A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of 64 packets containing 20 kg of suspected methamphetamine tablets. The drugs had been concealed in specially designed cavities in the rocker panels or side sills on both sides of the car and in the space between the fuel tank and the floor. Field tests indicated the presence of amphetamine. Preliminary investigation suggested that the drugs had been smuggled from Myanmar into Mizoram through the Zokhawthar-Champhai sector. The 20 kg consignment and the vehicle were seized, and the driver was arrested. The DRI said methamphetamine is a potent synthetic psychostimulant with a high potential for abuse and dependence. Its illicit use can cause serious physical and psychological effects, including cardiovascular complications, agitation, paranoia and psychosis. Methamphetamine is classified as a psychotropic substance under the NDPS Act, under which its illicit manufacture, possession, transportation and trafficking attract stringent penalties.

Sushilkumar Shinde lauds Sanjay Nahars three decades of social service
Pune, Aug 28: I salute the work of Sanjay Nahar, who was the first to reach every part of the country where there were problems and sorrows, and who gave the message that 'Maharashtra is with you' - not in his own name, but on behalf of Maharashtra, and who has continuously kept the yajna of social service alive, said former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde. He was speaking from the presidential chair at function organized to mark a triple occasion - the release of 'Sarhadcha Sangati', a felicitation volume on renowned social worker and founder-president of Sarhad Sanjay Nahar, and the 30th anniversary of Sarhad. Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari was present online. Maharashtra's Minister for Higher and Technical Education Chandrakant Patil, Minister of State for Urban Development and Transport Madhuri Misal, President of Vidarbha Sahitya Sangh Girish Gandhi, former MP Ranjitsinh Mohite Patil, ABP Editor Rajiv Khandekar, Assam MP Pramod Bodo, Ladakh MP Mohammed Haneefa Jan, senior entrepreneur from Jammu and Kashmir Mushtaq Chaya, Editor of Greater Kashmir newspaper Fayaz Kaloo, were present on the occasion. An audio-visual film on the work of Sarhad and Sanjay Nahar was shown. Former Union Home Minister Shinde said, When no one dared to go to Punjab after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Nahar went to burning Punjab. He visited hamlets and settlements. He met the grieving, orphaned souls there. He consoled them. He came out on the streets and helped them directly. In a difficult situation, he gave the message that Maharashtra is with you. As soon as the situation became serious in Kashmir, he reached Kashmir. Taking full responsibility for the future of orphaned children, he arranged for their accommodation and education in Pune. There is no gap between Nahar's thought and action. Without fearing adverse conditions, death threats and attacks, he has continued the yajna of social service like a vow. His life of action is inspiring. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said, Sanjay Nahar's work of public awakening to keep national unity and integrity intact is a matter of pride. When conflict flared up in the border areas of the country, Sanjay Nahar made organized efforts to awaken patriotism. In burning Punjab, he undertook 21 peace marches with a sense of social responsibility. He has risen above all differences, preserved the bond of humanity and brought about qualitative transformation in many areas. At a time when the crisis of thoughtlessness rather than difference of opinion is visible all around, Sanjay Nahar has created an ideal of social work by maintaining social sensitivity. Chandrakantdada Patil recalled some memories from the time of the student movement. Wherever there is a problem in the country, there is Sanjay Nahar. Sanjay is a personality who is constantly striving and active to make the feeling of integrity flourish. He has worked to remove wrong, inappropriate thoughts from the minds of students and inculcate right, patriotic thoughts. Madhuri Misal described Sanjay as a person who has been associated with a bond of affection since the student movement and who has maintained continuity of service for the nation through relentless struggle. Ladakh MP Haji Haneefa Jan said that Sanjay Nahar has shown the path of development, employment and education by exploring many different possibilities of tourism in Ladakh and Kashmir.

He stressed that close coordination between the Census Directorate, Defence forces, CAPFs and other specialised organisations would be critical to ensuring complete Census coverage. The Chief Principal Census Officer expressed confidence that the coordination established with the participating organisations would facilitate smooth, secure and comprehensive population enumeration across all Special Charges, contributing to the successful conduct of Phase-II of Census 2027 in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

Nepal Flash Flood Devastation Reignites India's Fear Around Ticking Chinese Mega Dam 'Water Bomb'
A deadly flash flood near the NepalTibet border has revived Indias concern over Chinas massive Medog hydropower project on the Yarlung Tsangpo, which becomes the Siang in Arunachal Pradesh and the Brahmaputra further downstream. Initial reports blamed an earthquake, but the US Geological Survey later identified the seismic signal as a landslide linked to a glacial collapse and debris flow. The disaster destroyed roads, bridges and settlements, while hundreds remained missing. Chinas planned Medog project could generate 60,000 megawatts and is expected to become the worlds largest hydropower facility. Its location in a highly seismic Himalayan zone worries India. The key concerns are sudden water releases, reduced flows, landslides, ecological damage and weak data sharing. This report explains what is confirmed, what remains uncertain and why Arunachal Pradesh and Assam are watching closely. Is this a warning of a larger Brahmaputra crisis?
