Tezpur University students seek Centre's intervention, demand probe report to be made public
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 11 (IANS) Students and research scholars of Tezpur University have sought the intervention of the Union Ministry of Education over the alleged delay in making public the findings of a statutory enquiry into the affairs of the central university, officials said on Friday. The students have urged the university Registrar to forward their representation to the Secretary of the Ministry of Education and the Additional Secretary, Department of Higher Education, seeking a transparent and time-bound resolution of the matter. The representation relates to a statutory enquiry constituted under Section 9 of the Tezpur University Act, 1993, and includes concerns relating to the tenure of former Vice-Chancellor Prof Shambhu Nath Singh, whom the students have described as absconding. According to the representation, the enquiry committee was constituted on December 31, 2025, and was required to submit its report by March 31, 2026. The students said the committee has completed its proceedings and submitted its report, but its findings and any consequential decisions have not yet been made public. The students have also flagged a range of unresolved issues concerning the university, including student welfare, shortage of funds, prolonged administrative uncertainty and the delay in conducting the convocation for the 2025 graduating batch. They have questioned whether the prolonged delay in resolving these issues amounts to retaliation against stakeholders who had raised allegations of corruption. The students have demanded disclosure of the enquiry findings, clarity on action taken against the former Vice-Chancellor, fixing of responsibility wherever wrongdoing is established, release of pending funds and resolution of the delayed convocation. They have also sought a written acknowledgement and response from the Union Ministry of Education. The students warned that failure to provide meaningful communication could lead to an escalation of their protest, including a complete shutdown of university functioning. They further said stakeholders could make public documents and evidence submitted before various fact-finding and enquiry committees if their concerns remain unaddressed. The representation also referred to a Citizens Convention held in Guwahati in December 2025, where stakeholders had discussed the possibility of constituting an independent public enquiry committee comprising educationists, RTI activists, human rights defenders, retired university faculty and retired High Court judges. The students said their demands were aimed at restoring transparency, institutional accountability and trust in the university administration. The statutory enquiry was essentially triggered by the prolonged crisis at Tezpur University and allegations against then Vice-Chancellor Prof Shambhu Nath Singh, including alleged financial and administrative irregularities, administrative breakdown, academic concerns and his prolonged absence from the campus. Student and faculty protests had intensified from September 2025, eventually leading the Centre to intervene. The Ministry of Education constituted a three-member enquiry panel on December 31, 2025, while directing Singh to proceed on leave and recuse himself from all duties until the enquiry was completed. The panel, headed by Manipur University VC Prof N. Lokendra Singh, with Nagaland University VC Prof Jagadish Kumar Patnaik and UGC Secretary Prof Manish R. Joshi as members, was tasked with examining all matters pertaining to the ongoing situation at the university, including allegations against the VC. This followed an earlier fact-finding exercise ordered by the Assam Governor, who is the university's Chancellor, in October 2025.

Mizoram: Drugs, contraband worth Rs 14.77 crore seized; 5 Myanmar nationals among 6 held
Digital Desk | Aizawl, Sep 10 (IANS) The Mizoram Police, in a series of operations, have seized highly addictive methamphetamine tablets, heroin and other contraband worth Rs 14.77 crore and arrested six drug peddlers, including five Myanmar nationals, officials said on Thursday. A senior police official said that a special team of police conducted random checks at Kualmawi in the Keifang area of Saitual district and recovered and seized 12.746 kg of methamphetamine tablets, with an estimated value of approximately Rs 10.20 crore. The drugs were recovered from the possession of Chinzalian (26) and Thiankhatmuanga (27), both residents of Rangoon in Myanmar. In another operation, a Mizoram Police team, while conducting random checking at Chalbawia Junction, Khankawn Police Checkgate, recovered and seized 994 grams of methamphetamine tablets worth Rs 79.52 lakh from the possession of a passenger travelling in a Maxi cab. The accused was identified as Hrang Thawm Hnim (39), a resident of Sathmuhzung in neighbouring Myanmar. In the third operation, a police team in Champhai district, while on duty at Chalbawia Junction, Khankawn Police Checkgate, recovered and seized 141 grams of heroin with an approximate local market value of Rs 28.20 lakh from the possession of two male passengers travelling in a vehicle proceeding from Zokhawthar towards Aizawl. The accused were identified as Awngminnine (19) and Bawithawng (18), both residents of Myanmar. In another operation, police in Kolasib district, while on duty at Phaisen Police Checkgate, intercepted a Mahindra Scorpio travelling from Aizawl towards Karimganj in southern Assam. Upon inspection of the vehicle, 3.910 kg of methamphetamine tablets, valued at Rs 3.2 crore, were recovered and seized. In connection with the seizure, Guljar Hussain (23), a resident of Karimganj district, was arrested. In the fifth operation, police in Champhai district, while on duty at Chalbawia Junction, Khankawn Police Checkgate, recovered and seized 3,360 kg (42 bags) of dry areca nuts (Burmese betel nuts) worth Rs 30 lakh from a truck. No valid trade licence, transportation permit or any other documentation was available for the seized items, which are strongly suspected to have been smuggled from Myanmar. Police said that the drugs were smuggled from Myanmar, as six Mizoram districts -- Champhai, Siaha, Lawngtlai, Hnahthial, Saitual and Serchhip -- share a 510-km-long border with the neighbouring country's Chin State. Police officials suspect that the methamphetamine tablets, which are banned in India, were smuggled from Myanmar, which shares a 1,643-km-long international border with four Northeastern states -- Arunachal Pradesh (520 km), Manipur (398 km), Nagaland (215 km) and Mizoram (510 km). Substantial stretches of the international border remain unfenced, making the region vulnerable to cross-border trafficking of drugs, particularly heroin and methamphetamine tablets. Mizoram and Manipur have emerged as major drug-trafficking corridors in the Northeast due to their long and porous international borders with Myanmar and their proximity to the Golden Triangle, one of the world's major illicit narcotics-producing regions.

CM Khemchand Singh seeks high-level probe into Manipur musician's murder in Delhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi/Imphal, Sep 8 (IANS) Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Tuesday requested his Delhi counterpart Rekha Gupta to expedite a high-level probe into the murder of a musician from the state in the national capital and ensure stringent prosecution of the accused. The Manipur Chief Minister urged Rekha Gupta to ensure that the investigation is conducted expeditiously and that the culprits responsible for the murder are brought to justice through stringent prosecution. Should circumstances warrant, the feasibility of transferring the case to an independent, specialised agency such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) be proactively explored to reinforce complete public confidence, Manipur Chief Minister's letter to his Delhi counterpart said.

Six-time World Amateur Boxing Champion Mary Kom recently opened up about her journey and addressed people who, according to her, try to take credit for her success. The boxer spoke about the struggles behind her achievements during a conversation on Bigg Boss 20, making it clear that her accomplishments have been built through years of hard work, discipline and sacrifice. Mary pointed out that several people claim they were responsible for making her successful, despite not having experienced the challenges she faced as an athlete. She highlighted the physical and mental demands of boxing, including injuries and rigorous training, while questioning the claims of those who were not part of those struggles. A lot of people feel they made Mary, but they were never the ones who entered the ring, took the injuries, or went through the training. To claim credit for someone elses struggle is shameless. The boxing champion further credited her achievements to her own efforts and the sacrifices she made throughout her career. Whatever I have achieved has come from my hard work, dedication and the sacrifices I have made along the way, she added. During the conversation, Rohed also spoke about how silence is often misunderstood in todays world. He pointed out that people can mistake someones decision to remain quiet for weakness or assume that they have control over them. However, silence can also come from patience and inner strength. Mary Kom, popularly known as Magnificent Mary, is among the most accomplished names in amateur boxing. She is the only woman to have won the World Amateur Boxing Championship six times. She is also the only female boxer to have won a medal in each of the first seven World Championships and the only boxer, male or female, to win eight World Championship medals. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 20 premiered on September 6 on Colors TV and JioHotstar.

Digital Desk | Imphal, Sep 8 (IANS) Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan on Tuesday while highlighting the importance of national integration, said that Indias diversity of languages, traditions and regions is united by a shared national identity. During his interaction with the cadets of the Sainik School in Imphal, Vice-President Radhakrishnan described the Northeast as an integral and beautiful part of India and praised the hard work and contribution of its people. The Vice-President, who arrived in Imphal from Assam on Tuesday for a one-day visit to Manipur, visited the INA Museum at Moirang in Bishnupur district and paid homage to the valour and sacrifice of the Indian National Army (INA). He visited the historic site where the Indian Tricolour was first hoisted on the Indian mainland by the INA on April 14, 1944 and toured the INA War Museum gallery. He also paid floral tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Later, Vice-President Radhakrishnan visited Sainik School Imphal, where he paid floral tribute at the War Memorial and was accorded a Guard of Honour by the cadets. Speaking on his visit to Moirang, around 45 km south of state capital Imphal, the Vice-President recalled the historic role of the INA in Indias freedom struggle. He noted that several freedom fighters from across the country, including many from Tamil Nadu, had joined the INA and made the supreme sacrifice for the nation. The Vice President also recalled his recent visit to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had hoisted the Indian Tricolour, and said that these historic sites remind the younger generation of the courage, patriotism and sacrifices of Indias freedom fighters. He emphasised that the true legacy of an institution is reflected not merely in its buildings or records, but in the character of its students and alumni. He called upon the cadets to particularly develop discipline, courage and leadership. Even if you are less talented, with discipline you will shine, Vice-President Radhakrishnan noted, stressing that discipline provides the foundation for excellence. On bravery, he said that true courage also means standing up for others when someone is being unnecessarily harmed. On leadership, he emphasised that a true leader accepts responsibility, sets an example, listens to others and has the moral courage to take the right decision. He said that Sainik Schools have a special role in strengthening the spirit of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat', as students from diverse backgrounds learn, train, eat and play together. Referring to the rapid pace of technological change, he urged the cadets to preserve the timeless values of discipline, integrity and patriotism while also becoming adaptable, innovative and technologically aware. The Vice-President mentioned emerging fields such as Artificial Intelligence, space technology, biotechnology, cyber-security and robotics as areas offering new opportunities to the younger generation. He encouraged the students to retain their goodness while adapting themselves to change, observing that change is the only constant in the world. Responding to a question on his visit to Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Vice-President Radhakrishnan encouraged the students to visit the historic site to understand the hardships endured by Indias freedom fighters. He said such a visit inspires patriotism and reminds the younger generation of the sacrifices made during the freedom struggle. On the role of students in building a developed India, the Vice-President said that every student can contribute by performing their duty to the best of their ability every day. He emphasised that doing ones best each day would collectively contribute to the realisation of Viksit Bharat. The Vice-President was accompanied by Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Defence Deepti Mohil Chawla, Major General Shubhankar Basu, Inspecting Officer, Sainik Schools Society, Ministry of Defence, Brigadier Amit Chatterjee, and Principal, Sainik School Imphal, Colonel A.

The drama inside the Bigg Boss 20 house appears to be picking up pace, with rapper Yung DSA and fellow contestant Qazi getting into a heated exchange. The confrontation reportedly began after Qazi mimicked Yung DSA, leading to a reaction from the rapper and eventually requiring other housemates to intervene. During the tense interaction, Qazi was seen imitating Yung DSA, something that did not sit well with the rapper. Reacting to the mimicry, Yung DSA hit back at Qazi and said, Meri acting karne ka try bhi mat kar, nahi ho rahi tere se telkat muh ke. The exchange soon became more intense as both contestants appeared visibly agitated. As the argument escalated, the other housemates stepped in to prevent the situation from going further. They attempted to separate Yung DSA and Qazi and bring the confrontation under control. Yung DSA also spoke about the advice he had received from his parents, making it clear that he did not want to engage further with people he felt were provoking him. The rapper said, my mother and father said not to entertain such people in life. The incident comes at an early stage of Bigg Boss 20, where contestants are still getting accustomed to living together and negotiating different personalities under constant cameras and observation. With disagreements already beginning to emerge, confrontations such as this could become a recurring part of the dynamics inside the house as the season progresses. Yung DSA is a Pune-based rapper known for his song Yeda Yung. His entry into the Bigg Boss 20 house has brought a music-industry personality into the mix, alongside contestants from different backgrounds and fields. As the season continues, it remains to be seen whether the disagreement between Yung DSA and Qazi settles down or develops into a larger conflict inside the house. For now, the confrontation has added another layer to the early tensions of Bigg Boss 20, with the housemates already having to step in when differences between contestants turned heated.
