He further claimed the NDA government had ended five decades of Naxalism and signed over 14 peace agreements in the Northeast.

Manipur govt urges civil society groups to withdraw agitations over NRC updation
Digital Desk | Imphal, Sep 13 (IANS) The Manipur government on Sunday urged Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to withdraw their ongoing agitations, including the closure of Central and state government offices, over their demand for updation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state. State government spokespersons Thokchom Radheshyam Singh and Sapam Ranjan Singh, both ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs, said that the closure of Central and state government offices as part of the agitations by CSOs, including the Campaign for Justice and Fair Delimitation (CJFD), was causing suffering and inconvenience to the general public. They appealed to all concerned not to add more misery to the sufferings and inconveniences of the public. Addressing a press conference, Radheshyam Singh said that the state government is fully aware of the CJFD's demand and the people of Manipur also want the NRC be conducted before the Census-2027. He added that the recently held session of the Manipur Assembly reaffirmed its earlier resolution to update the NRC before the Census-2027, and Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh has conveyed the same to the Central government. Radheshyam Singh added that on the last day of the recently-concluded Assembly session, a discussion regarding the base year of the NRC with 1951 took place in the House and the matter has already been conveyed to the Union Home Ministry. He said that following the campaign by the members of the Manipur Assembly in New Delhi, the Chief Minister, too, conveyed the Central leaders about the people's desire. Consequently, the Union Home Ministry has also postponed the Census process, the spokesman said. Against this backdrop, the CJFD has intensified its agitation by calling for the closure of government offices. Such an agitation may lead to various undesirable incidents and affect the functioning of the state government, he added. Radheshyam Singh also appealed to the CJFD not to intensify the agitation and also urged the organisations not to continue such activities for a prolonged period, as protracted agitation in the state could cause greater inconvenience to the people. He appealed all the sections of the public o give peace a chance in Manipur and to support the endeavours of the current government in restoring normalcy in the state. The spokespersons also made it clear during the press meet that state Home Minister Konthoujam Govindas Singh along with some other MLAs are camping in New Delhi for the past few days to pressurise the Centre regarding the updation of NRC, 1951. They also expressed that it is highly hopeful that Centre will act as per the wishes of the people of the state. Meanwhile, the State Assembly's latest move on September 2 came amid massive agitations by various CSOs, mainly in the five districts of the Imphal Valley region -- Imphal East, Imphal West, Thoubal, Bishnupur and Kakching -- demanding the updation of the NRC before the conduct of Census-2027. The CJFD and various other CSOs have been holding massive agitations in the Imphal Valley region since August 17, demanding the updation of the NRC before the Census exercise is undertaken. A day before its pre-schedule start, the Central government on August 31 announced to defer the Census-2027 exercise in Manipur amid continuing protests and demands by various CSOs for the updation of the NRC before the conduct of the Census-2027 in the state. Meanwhile, the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), the apex body of the Kuki-Zo tribal community in Manipur, has opposed the demand for the updation of the NRC before the Census operations in 2027. KZC Spokesperson Ginza Vualzong had said that there is no constitutional provision for conducting an NRC exercise exclusively in a particular state. The NRC is a national exercise. The Assam NRC was undertaken pursuant to the Assam Accord of 1985. Therefore, any attempt to conduct an NRC exclusively in Manipur is not only discriminatory but also unconstitutional, he added.

New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI) Period pain is often dismissed as a normal part of menstruation, but severe or persistent pain could be a sign of endometriosis, a chronic condition that can affect fertility and significantly impact a womans quality of life, according to doctors. Experts said growing evidence suggests that genetic and epigenetic factors may influence a womans susceptibility to the condition, highlighting the need for greater awareness and earlier diagnosis. Symptoms of period pain are often dismissed as normal because many of us lack awareness of a condition called endometriosis. It is a painful condition where tissue like

Making connectivity foundation of Assams next growth phase: Himanta Sarma
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 13 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said his government was making connectivity the foundation of the states next phase of growth, asserting that improved road and rail infrastructure was essential to ensure the benefits of development reached people. CM Sarma made the remarks after dedicating a Railway Overbridge (ROB) at Cinnamara in Jorhat, which he said would ease traffic congestion at a major choke point in the historic town and form part of the states wider effort to make railway crossings traffic-free. People often ask me why Assam is obsessively building bridges in its cities, towns and villages. Its because for decades we lagged behind in connectivity and fruits of development could not reach the people, CM Sarma said in a post on X. The Chief Minister said the state was duty-bound to reverse the connectivity deficit and ensure that unhindered movement became the norm rather than an exception. He said the Cinnamara ROB was part of the governments statewide efforts to eliminate congestion and delays caused by railway crossings. The infrastructure project is expected to improve traffic movement in Cinnamara and provide commuters with a smoother route across the railway line. Such projects are also aimed at reducing waiting time for motorists and pedestrians at railway level crossings, particularly in busy urban and semi-urban areas. CM Sarma said that the connectivity was not merely an infrastructure priority but a critical requirement for Assams economic and social development. Improved connectivity can facilitate the movement of people, agricultural produce and goods while providing businesses and industries with better access to markets. It can also help connect communities to educational institutions, healthcare facilities and employment opportunities. The Chief Minister has repeatedly stressed infrastructure development as a key component of Assams broader growth strategy, with road, bridge and railway-related projects being taken up across the state. The Cinnamara ROB is significant for Jorhat, a major urban centre in Upper Assam, where growing traffic volumes have increased the need for improved transport infrastructure. CM Sarma said that the governments focus would remain on creating infrastructure that removes bottlenecks and enables faster, safer and more seamless movement. He said the broader objective was to ensure that Assam overcame its longstanding connectivity gaps and entered its next phase of development with unhindered movement becoming the norm across cities, towns and villages.

Assam CM hails NMCs 13,186 new MBBS seats, says medical education expansion major boost
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 13 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday lauded the National Medical Commissions (NMC) approval of 13,186 additional MBBS seats across the country, describing the expansion as a significant boost to medical education and healthcare capacity in India. CM Sarma welcomed the development in a post on X, highlighting the importance of expanding opportunities for students aspiring to pursue medical education and strengthening the countrys pool of trained doctors. The latest expansion has pushed Indias total MBBS intake to more than 1.4 lakh seats for the 2026-27 academic session. According to the latest NMC data, the total number of undergraduate medical seats has risen to 1,40,214 across 836 medical colleges, excluding seats at Institutes of National Importance. The increase represents a substantial expansion in medical education capacity at a time when demand for MBBS seats remains high among students appearing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG). The additional seats have been approved across union territories and several states, with Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Bihar among those registering some of the largest increases. For Assam and the Northeast, the expansion assumes added significance as the region continues to strengthen its medical education and healthcare infrastructure. The state has witnessed a steady expansion of medical colleges and health facilities in recent years, with the government seeking to improve access to specialised healthcare while creating more opportunities for students within the region. The national increase in MBBS seats is also expected to help address the growing requirement for qualified medical professionals as Indias healthcare infrastructure expands. The NMCs latest decision comes after an earlier addition of thousands of MBBS seats for the 2026-27 academic year, taking the countrys overall medical education capacity to a new high. The Centre and the NMC have in recent years focused on expanding medical education infrastructure, increasing undergraduate and postgraduate seats and establishing new medical colleges. The latest expansion is expected to provide thousands of additional opportunities to NEET-UG aspirants and further strengthen Indias medical education ecosystem. CM Sarmas reaction comes as Assam continues to position the expansion of healthcare and medical education as an important component of its development agenda.
Assam's energy push: Rs 80,000 crore investment; 40,000 jobs in pipeline, says CM Sarma
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 13 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said the energy sector would play a key role in driving the states next phase of economic growth, with new solar, pumped-storage and battery projects expected to attract more than Rs 80,000 crore in investment and create nearly 40,000 jobs. In a post on X, CM Sarma said the planned expansion of the states clean energy ecosystem would open up new employment and economic opportunities, particularly for Assams youth. The energy sector will be a key driver of Assams next phase of growth, the Chief Minister said, highlighting the potential of renewable energy and energy-storage projects to transform the states investment landscape. According to CM Sarma, the proposed projects span solar power generation, pumped-storage systems and battery projects, indicating a broader push towards building infrastructure capable of supporting Assams future energy requirements. The investment potential of over Rs 80,000 crore could give a significant boost to the states industrial and infrastructure development, while the projected creation of nearly 40,000 jobs is expected to provide fresh opportunities for the local workforce. The Chief Ministers announcement comes as Assam seeks to accelerate industrialisation and attract large-scale investments across emerging sectors. The state government has increasingly focused on renewable energy and infrastructure as part of its broader strategy to create jobs and strengthen the economy. Solar projects could help expand Assams renewable power generation capacity, while pumped-storage facilities can provide large-scale energy storage and improve the flexibility of the power grid. Battery projects, meanwhile, could support the growing demand for energy-storage solutions as renewable power generation expands. CM Sarma said emerging energy opportunities would be particularly important for the states young population, signalling the governments focus on linking investment with employment generation. The proposed projects are also expected to strengthen Assams position as an emerging destination for clean-energy investments in the Northeast. With more than Rs 80,000 crore of investment potential and nearly 40,000 jobs in the pipeline, the energy sector is set to become an important pillar of Assams economic expansion, the Chief Minister indicated.

Methamphetamine tablets and heroin seized in Mizoram, 3 arrested
Digital Desk | Aizawl, Sep 12 (IANS) The Assam Rifles, in coordination with other law enforcement agencies, have seized methamphetamine tablets and heroin worth a total of Rs 6.35 crore in two separate operations in Mizoram and arrested three alleged drug peddlers, officials said on Saturday. A defence spokesman said that the Assam Rifles, in a swift and intelligence-led joint operation with the Seling Naka Party of the Aizawl District Executive Force (DEF) and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), launched an operation in the Seling area on Friday night. During the operation, the joint team intercepted two vehicles and recovered 6.991 kg of methamphetamine tablets, valued at approximately Rs 5.59 crore. Two alleged drug peddlers were also apprehended. The arrested individuals and the seized contraband were handed over to the NCB for further investigation and necessary legal action under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. The successful joint operation highlighted the close coordination, vigilance and intelligence-sharing among the Assam Rifles, NCB and Mizoram Police in effectively countering drug trafficking and other illicit activities in the state, the spokesman said. In another operation, based on credible intelligence regarding the transshipment of narcotics at Lungvar in Khawzawl district, Assam Rifles troops, in coordination with the state Excise and Narcotics Department, launched an operation in the area, conducted a search of a suspected individual, and recovered 382.03 grams of heroin, valued at approximately Rs 76.40 lakh. The seized contraband and the individual were subsequently handed over to the Excise and Narcotics Department office in Champhai for further investigation and necessary legal proceedings. The seizure reflected the Assam Rifles' continued resolve to dismantle drug-trafficking networks and ensure the safety and security of the border population in Mizoram, the statement said. Mizoram and Manipur have emerged as major drug-trafficking corridors in the Northeast due to their long and porous international borders with Myanmar and proximity to the Golden Triangle, one of the world's major illicit narcotics-producing regions. Police said the drugs were smuggled from Myanmar, whose Chin State shares an over 500-km-long border with Mizoram's Champhai, Siaha, Lawngtlai, Hnahthial, Saitual, and Serchhip districts.

Tripura, Mizoram hold first official-level talks to resolve boundary dispute
Digital Desk | Agartala, Sep 11 (IANS) Tripura and Mizoram held their first round of official-level talks here on Thursday to find an amicable solution to their long-standing inter-state boundary dispute, Chief Minister Manik Saha said on Friday. Saha said he had earlier taken the initiative to revive the dialogue with Mizoram to resolve the long-pending boundary dispute through mutual discussions. He said that during the 73rd plenary session of the North Eastern Council (NEC) in Shillong on June 4, he discussed the inter-state boundary issue with his Mizoram counterpart Lalduhoma. I proposed that an official-level meeting should be held first to discuss the issue, following which the two Chief Ministers could hold talks to resolve the inter-state boundary dispute. Chief Minister Lalduhoma readily agreed to the proposal, Saha said. An official said the first official-level meeting was held here on Thursday, during which it was decided to constitute two study committees to examine the inter-state boundary issues and related problems on the ground. The study committees will examine the inter-state boundary and related issues at the ground level and submit their reports. The next round of official-level talks will be held after the reports are received, the official said. Tripura Home Secretary Abhishek Singh and his Mizoram counterpart Vanlalmawia led their respective delegations at the meeting. Tripura, which is surrounded by Bangladesh on its southern, western, and northern sides, has a 53-km-long border with Assam and a 109-km-long border with Mizoram. The border dispute between Tripura and Mizoram has remained unresolved for many years. Tensions often surface whenever either state undertakes development or construction work in disputed areas, with the other state raising objections. In one such incident, unidentified assailants in May last year hurled moderate-intensity explosives at an under-construction tourism building at Phuldungsei village in North Tripura district, causing substantial damage to the structure. The project was being implemented under the Centres flagship Swadesh Darshan Scheme of the Union Tourism Ministry. Following the blast, police officials from both Tripura and Mizoram visited the mountainous border village to assess the situation and maintain peace. Soon after the incident, Tripura Tourism and Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury met senior district officials, and it was decided to reconstruct the building. Residents living on both sides of the inter-state border have long maintained that Phuldungsei village falls within the territorial claims of both Tripura and Mizoram, making it one of the disputed stretches between the two states. Following the incident, both Tripura and Mizoram deployed additional security personnel in the area, while authorities closely monitored the situation to prevent any further escalation. Tripura subsequently took up the matter with Mizoram through official channels. Over the years, the administrations of North Tripura district and Mizorams Mamit district, along with officials of the Survey of India, have held several rounds of discussions to resolve the disputed patches along the inter-state boundary. Mizoram-based civil society groups and student organisations have, on several occasions, opposed construction activities undertaken by the Tripura government in areas they describe as disputed inter-state border stretches.
