Dipanjal Deka, secretary of Tea Association of India, Assam branch, said, Ours is camellia assamica (Assam bush). I think the recognition is for tea in general. In any case, it is scientifically proven that tea has health benefits, he added. The FDA said, We agree that tea is derived from the plant Camellia sinensisWe previously recognized that green tea is made from Camellia sinensis in our response to a qualified health claim petition regarding the relationship between green tea and certain cancers. We do not have information to determine whether herbal infusions should qualify for the healthy claim. We, therefore, extend automatic qualification for the healthy claim to teaand not to herbal infusions.

MEA ticks off Yunus government for aides remarks
NEW DELHI: The government on Friday informed the Lok Sabha that 2,200 cases of violence against Hindus and other minorities were reported from Bangladesh this year up to December 8. Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh gave the information in a written response, citing data from minority and human rights organisations. He said the Indian High Commission in Dhaka is closely monitoring the situation, adding that New Delhi has raised the issue with Dhaka. The Government of India has expressed its concerns about such incidents, including the demolition of the Jagannath Temple in Bangladesh, the attack on a Puja mandap in Tantibazar, Dhaka, and the theft at the Jeshoreshwari Kali temple in Satkhira during Durga Puja 2024, he said. In another development, India has strongly protested with Bangladesh over a now-deleted social media post by a key aide of Dhakas interim government claiming certain areas of Indian territory should be part of Bangladesh. Mahfuz Alam, known for his provocative comments, had also posted on Facebook a map purportedly showing parts of West Bengal, Tripura and Assam as parts of Bangladesh. He deleted the post later. Must watch your comments: MEA Alam is a de facto minister in the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government of Bangladesh. We would like to remind all concerned to be mindful of their public comments.

'Was bitten by police officer': Assam Congress leader after scuffle during protest march
Guwahati: Ashwin Kumar Mahanta, a senior spokesperson of Assam Congress, alleged he was bitten by a police officer during a scuffle in Guwahati on Friday.

We had taken out a march today to pay homage to him when we were stopped by the police. Soon, an Assam Police Service officer targeted me. He pulled me and bit me on my shoulder. I was wearing a coat, Mahanta alleged. The Congress shared a video of him narrating the incident. He showed exactly where he was bitten and demanded justice. I know the police officer but cannot recall his name, Mahanta said in the video. After the incident, he and several other Congress leaders were taken to the Hockey Stadium and detained. I was going through excruciating pain. I repeatedly requested the police to take me to a hospital. Later, they took me to one. A doctor prescribed medicines and an injection, Mahanta told TNIE . The police wanted me to buy the medicines but I said why I should because I was bitten by their people. Eventually, I was brought back to where I was detained. I havent still got any medicines, he said, adding, I will visit a doctor after I am released. The police have not yet responded to the allegation. Senior police officials could not be reached for comment. Several Congress leaders, including the partys state chief Bhupen Kumar Borah, were detained by the police. Youth Congress national president Uday Bhanu Chib was put in preventive detention. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma slammed the Congress for allegedly trying to create unrest in Guwahati. For the past few days, the Congress has been trying to create a situation where the police are forced to open fire. There is a contest going on among two-three Congress leaders to emerge as a bigger leader and in that contest, they have held the people of Guwahati to ransom, Sarma told the media. Political parties cannot be agitationists. Their agitation should be in the election boxes (EVMs). They (Congress) want to create unrest but we wont allow this to happen, he added.

Arunachal CM Khandu cites China's dam construction, bats for Siang Upper Multipurpose Project
GUWAHATI: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has strongly advocated for the proposed Siang Upper Multipurpose Project, citing concerns over China's plans on the river Siang. Amid protests from locals in the Siang and Upper Siang districts, where the project is slated to be implemented, Khandu pointed out that China has already approved the construction of a project capable of generating approximately 60,000 MW of power on the Siang River known as Yarlung Tsangpo in the Tibet region before it enters India through Tuting in Upper Siang. According to Khandu, China, which is not a signatory to the International Water Conventions, intends to divert water from the multiple reservoirs that will be created under its project to dry regions of Tibet and other parts of the country. In such a scenario, it is inevitable that the volume of water in Siang will drastically get reduced so much so that during winters one will be able to cross the mighty river on foot, Khandu stated. He emphasised another pressing reason for India to proceed with the Siang project: the potential devastation if China were to release water from its dams suddenly. Such an action, he warned, could lead to widespread destruction downstream in the Siang belt, Assam, and even Bangladesh. While acknowledging ongoing bilateral talks aimed at improving Indias relationship with China, Khandu urged caution. We cannot remain complacent, he said. Khandu explained that the Centre proposed the Siang project to maintain the rivers natural flow throughout the year and to manage floods in the event of sudden water release by China. Addressing concerns of locals, Khandu dismissed rumours that the government would forcibly implement the project using armed police forces. We are a democratic country. We do not believe in forcing projects on our own people. We believe in taking into confidence the last man in the queue, he said. He called for clarity and dialogue, urging people to come forward and address their confusions. Only after survey and investigation, we will know where the dam will come up, what will be its height, and how much will be the submergence area. Then will come the public hearing stage, where everyone will be consulted, he added.

BCCI to elect new secretary and treasurer on Jan 12
New Delhi: The BCCI will hold a Special General Meeting (SGM) in Mumbai on January 12 to elect its new secretary and treasurer after the two posts were vacated by Jay Shah and Ashish Shelar respectively earlier this month. The BCCI constitution states that any post lying vacant should be filled within 45 days by calling a Special General Meeting. The upcoming BCCI SGM will be held within 43 days of the deadline. Yes, after the Apex Council Meeting on Thursday, state units were sent a notification about the date of the SGM, which is January 12 at the BCCI headquarters, a state association president told PTI. Shah has already taken over as the youngest chairman of ICC on December 1 and Shelar, a seasoned BJP politician, has been sworn in as a cabinet minister in the recently-formed Maharashtra government. As per the Lodha Committee reforms accepted by the Supreme Court, one person can't hold two positions. Shah, who still had a year left in his BCCI tenure before the mandatory cooling off period, relinquished his post as required. Shelar, who has been a Maharashtra BJP president, had to quit the BCCI post as Lodha Reforms do not allow any minister or public servant to be an office-bearer. As the posts of Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer have been vacated, the same are required to be filled up for the remaining period at a Special General Meeting by way of elections, reads an official Board document which is in PTI's possession. In this regard, the Apex Council is requested to approve the appointment of Mr. Achal Kumar Jyoti, former Chief Election Commissioner of India, as the Electoral Officer to conduct BCCI elections at a Special General Meeting, it added. The 71-year-old Jyoti, who is a retired 1975 batch Gujarat cadre IAS officer, served as India's chief election commissioner from July 2017 to January 2018. Currently, Assam's Devajit Saikia is performing the duties of Board's interim secretary, while the treasurer's position is lying vacant.
