Manipur CM appeals for dialogue, urges people to shun agitations and blockades
Digital Desk | Imphal, Nov 7 (IANS) Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Saturday appealed to students and the general public to refrain from resorting to agitations and blockades whenever crises or differences arise, urging them instead to pursue dialogue to resolve issues. Inaugurating the state's first AI-enabled Career Intelligence Hub at Tamphasana Girls Higher Secondary School in Imphal, the Chief Minister called upon students and people from all sections of society to adopt dialogue and peaceful engagement as the preferred means of addressing grievances and resolving differences. Khemchand Singh emphasised that constructive dialogue, rather than agitation and confrontation, was essential to resolving disputes and ensuring lasting peace in the state. The AI-Enabled Career Intelligence Hub is an initiative aimed at providing students with technology-driven career guidance, personalised counselling and information on emerging career opportunities. The Hub, established under the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS), is the first of its kind in the Northeastern region, marking a significant step towards integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the education and career guidance ecosystem of the state. The Chief Minister appreciated the students of Tamphasana Girls Higher Secondary School for not resorting to agitation during the challenging period the state has been going through over the past seven to eight months.

Highlighting the growing importance of AI, the Chief Minister observed that AI has advanced significantly and is increasingly transforming various fields and professions. He expressed satisfaction over the establishment of the AI-Enabled Career Intelligence Hub in Manipur, noting that such an initiative would help students gain better insights into their abilities, explore different career pathways and prepare themselves for future opportunities.

Emphasising the importance of the formative years in shaping ones future, the Chief Minister stated that student life is one of the most crucial periods for building a career, with Classes XI and XII being particularly significant in determining future academic and professional directions. While acknowledging that everyone may not necessarily achieve everything they aspire to in life, he stressed that humanity and honesty must remain the two essential qualities guiding every individual. He further observed that these values are equally important in the collective effort to restore peace and harmony in Manipur. The Chief Minister also formally opened the State-Level 32nd National Childrens Science Congress (NCSC) 202627, organised by Manipur Upliftment Centre in collaboration with Samagra Shiksha, Manipur, under the focal theme, Understanding Ecosystem for Health and Well-being.

Set 342 to win, Saurashtra were undone once again by off-spinner Sandip Sarkar. He followed his first-innings figures of 4-48 with 4-81, and finished with eight wickets in the match. Arpit Vasavada made 89, the only half-century of the second innings for Saurashtra, and was the last man to be dismissed after he was run out by Manisankar Murasingh to seal a famous win for Tripura in Agartala. Sridam Paul was named Player of the Match for scores of 86 and 50. At the Brabourne Stadium, 42-time champions Mumbai beat Railways by 106 runs to get their fourth straight outright win of the season. Mumbai had to wait until the final session to clinch the victory. Railways were 250/5 at the last drinks break and seemed set to escape with a draw. Eshaan Goyal and Zubair Ali had rebuilt the innings from 83/5 in the 31st over with a 167-run sixth-wicket stand. But on the very first ball after drinks, Goyal attempted a paddle sweep off Musheer Khan, and Musheers brother Sarfaraz, anticipating the shot from first slip, moved swiftly towards leg slip to take the catch. A couple of overs later, Musheer had Ali caught at long-off. Raj Choudhary and Himanshu Sangwan dug in for a while in an attempt to take Railways to a draw. But Tanush Kotian removed Choudhary, and Musheer came back to dismiss Sangwan and wrap up the win for Mumbai, as Railways lost their last five wickets for 15 runs. Elsewhere, Hyderabad scraped home by one wicket against Chhattisgarh in a nail-biting chase of 259 at the Gymkhana Ground. At 220/9, Hyderabad looked beaten, but a 39-run last-wicket stand off 104 balls turned the game, and Rakshann Readdi finished it with a six over long-off. The win also took Hyderabad to the top of the Group B table with 20 points. At the Eden Gardens, Maharashtra thrashed Bengal by 10 wickets in an Elite Group C clash. Bad light had cut into play on three days, but Maharashtra still had time to secure a bonus point. Pradeep Dhade and Hitesh Walunj took four wickets each on day for as Bengal were bowled out for 186 in their second innings, leaving Maharashtra a target of 112 to chase. Openers Sachin Dhas and Prithvi Shaw knocked it off in just 19.4 overs. While Dhas was unbeaten on 61 off 68 balls with 10 fours, and reached his fifty in 43 deliveries, Shaw made an unbeaten 53 off 50 balls, laced with three fours and four sixes, and got his half-century in 47 balls. It was Maharashtras biggest win of the season and their second outright victory. The seven points took them to 19, past previous leaders Bengal, who suffered their first defeat of the season. In Ahmedabad, Gujarat crushed Kerala by an innings and 58 runs to get a bonus-point victory. Urvil Patels unbeaten 210 set up the win, while Arzan Nagwaswalla finished with match figures of 8-83, including 4-24 on the last day, as Kerala were bowled out for 197 after being made to follow on. Tamil Nadu needed three wickets on the final day, and Ajith Ram took them all, finishing with 7-48 to seal the win over Chandigarh. At the Air Force Complex Ground in Palam, Yash Dhulls first hundred of the season helped Delhi hold on for a draw against Services and take three points due to taking a first-innings lead. Chasing 320, Delhi slipped to 119/4 just before tea when Nitin Tanwar removed Ayush Doseja for 14. But Dhull stood firm and finished unbeaten on 104 off 104 balls, with 11 fours and two sixes. He reached his century off 102 deliveries, shortly before the teams shook hands with Delhi, ending on 168/4 after 38 overs.

Elsewhere, several games ended in draws. Uttar Pradesh made 492, built on Adarsh Singhs 162 and Madhav Kaushiks 137, and Prashant Veer took 3-42, but they could not get a win over Baroda in Kanpur. Jammu and Kashmir piled up 555/6 and took a 170-run first-innings lead over Pondicherry, who batted out the game thanks to Ankit Sharmas 62 in Srinagar. Andhra replied to Punjabs 592/9 with 505/8 to secure a draw. Shaik Rasheed made 176, while Karan Shinde fell four runs short of a hundred. Rain cost Jharkhand plenty of overs against Odisha, who reached 280/7 on the final day as the match was drawn. Pukhraj Manns unbeaten 153 on the final day saved the game for Himachal Pradesh against Rajasthan. All three Plate Group matches produced results.

Handloom, handicrafts driving Manipur's economic growth; Govt mulls dedicated dept: CM
Digital Desk | Imphal, Nov 5 (IANS) Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Thursday underscored the significant role of the handloom and handicrafts sector in driving the state's economic growth, preserving its cultural heritage and generating livelihood opportunities. In a major announcement, the Chief Minister said the state government is considering the establishment of an upgraded, full-fledged department exclusively dedicated to handloom, handicrafts and textiles, recognising the sector's importance to Manipur's economy and cultural identity. He was speaking after inaugurating the Manipur International Textile Expo (MANITEX) 2026 at Urban Haat in Nilakuthi in Imphal. Organised under the theme Weave for Togetherness, Many Threads, One Manipur, the expo aims to showcase the rich handloom and handicraft traditions of the state while providing a platform for weavers, artisans, designers, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to explore new business and market opportunities. The proposed dedicated department is expected to provide greater institutional focus to the sector, strengthen support for traditional artisans and weavers, and help promote Manipur's distinctive textile heritage at national and international levels. The Chief Minister added that the sector plays a vital role in promoting the state's identity and recognition at the global level, alongside its rich art and culture and sports. Recalling his personal association with the handloom sector, Chief Minister Khemchand Singh shared that his own mother was also a weaver and that he himself had delivered yarn to the Kongba area of Imphal East in the past. He said that his personal experience had given him an understanding of the hard work and dedication involved in the handloom sector. Khemchand Singh also added that it would be incorrect to assume that the sector had not witnessed any growth, as progress and development continued to be seen in this sector. He emphasised the need to further strengthen and promote the sector to ensure greater opportunities and benefits for local artisans. The Chief Minister also instructed the concerned government authorities to ensure that the benefits of various Centrally Sponsored Schemes of Union government reach the artisans of the state effectively. It may be mentioned that Handloom, Handicrafts and Textiles is a subsidiary of Trade, Commerce and Industries Department. As part of the event, Khemchand Singh also launched the MANITEX 2026 Official Mobile App and Coffee Table Book 'Exploring Manipur Textile Design'. He also distributed awards for Crafts and Frame Looms and Accessories, Construction of Individual Workshed to Weavers under Imphal East Mega Handloom Cluster and Small Development Programme under National Handloom Development Programme. The programme was attended by Yumnam Joybala Devi, wife of the Chief Minister, Chairman of Manipur Handloom and Handicrafts Co-operative Limited and MLA Khongbantabam Ibomcha Singh, MLAs Sapam Nishikant Singh and Sanasam Premchandra Singh, Chief Secretary Rajeev Singh Thakur, Additional Chief Secretary Anurag Bajpai and senior officials.
Shutdown over killing of Kuki youths continues to cripple life in Manipur's Kangpokpi
Digital Desk | Imphal, Nov 5 (IANS) Normal life remained badly affected in Manipurs Kangpokpi district for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday as a tribal organisation continued its shutdown to protest against the alleged failure of the Manipur government to take action over the killing of two Kuki community youths. A police officer said that shops, markets, business establishments, and educational institutions remained closed, and most vehicles remained off the roads due to the shutdown. Several goods-laden vehicles bound for the state capital through National Highway-2 (NH-2) were also unable to enter Kangpokpi and remained stranded in neighbouring Senapati district, which is predominantly inhabited by the Naga community. Additional security forces had been deployed in the mountainous Kangpokpi district to prevent any untoward incident and maintain law and order during the shutdown. The Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU), a prominent Kuki-Zo organisation, had called the shutdown to condemn what it described as the state government's inaction over the killing of two Kuki civilians. It extended the shutdown, which was to conclude at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, for another 48 hours, in view of the government's continued failure to take decisive and concrete action towards ensuring justice for the brutal killing of the two Kuki-Zo civilians and the fulfilment of the demands submitted in this regard. Any further failure to act decisively and deliver justice within this extended period will compel the Kuki-Zo people to intensify their democratic protest and pursue stronger collective measures. Should the situation deteriorate further as a consequence of the government's continued inaction, the sole responsibility shall rest with the government, the tribal body said in a statement. The bodies of the two Kuki youths, who had gone missing on October 28, were recovered on November 1 following multiple search operations conducted by joint teams of the Manipur Police, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the CoBRA (Commando Battalion for Resolute Action), the Rapid Action Force (RAF), and the Assam Rifles. Following the recovery of the bodies, CoTU initially called a 24-hour shutdown in Kangpokpi district from November 1. The organisation subsequently extended the shutdown by another 48 hours on Monday evening, citing the government's alleged failure to take concrete steps to ensure justice for the victims. The tribal organisation further asserted that the Kuki-Zo people would not accept empty assurances and administrative excuses in place of justice and demanded time-bound action against those responsible for the killings. The recovery of the bodies of the two missing youths has added to the prevailing tension in the conflict-affected state, where ethnic divisions and security concerns continue to pose serious challenges to the administration. The two were identified as Tinginlun Chongloi, 21, and Paoginlal Hangshing, 20. They were allegedly abducted by unidentified miscreants, she had said. More than 50 people have reportedly been killed and dozens of houses torched in clashes between the Naga and Kuki-Zo communities since February this year. The violence has largely been concentrated in Ukhrul, Kamjong, Kangpokpi, Tamenglong, and Noney districts and parts of Senapati district.

Starlink India delay driven by approval bottlenecks, not corporate pushback: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) The delay in the launch of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet services in India stems primarily from pending regulatory and security approvals due to legitimate reasons rather than efforts by domestic telecom companies to block its entry, a new report has said. The report from Europinion said Starlink obtained its licence to operate in India in June 2025 but remains unable to begin commercial services because it is still awaiting security clearance, spectrum allocation and foreign investment-related approvals. Musk alleged in October that powerful business interests were obstructing Starlink's entry into India. The Indian government rejected the claim, describing it as baseless and misconceived. The publication argued that both sides were telling only half the story, adding that both Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel entered into agreements in 2025 to distribute Starlink services to customers. It also pointed out that while Indian telecom operators had supported spectrum auctions, the government ultimately opted for administrative allocation, a position that aligned more closely with Starlink's preference. The price for the spectrum was approved by a government committee in September. However, the final decision is still pending. Both sides stories have gaps. The truth sits somewhere in the middle, the report noted. Security clearance remains a key hurdle not only for Starlink but also for Indian satellite internet providers such as Jio's satellite venture and also Eutelsat OneWeb. The publication said that security concerns are legitimate after devices with Starlink branding were found during a drug seizure near the Andaman Islands and in a security raid in Manipur in 2024 The government, for its part, has never explained why the security check has taken so long, and has given no deadline but has clarified that a decision on spectrum prices is close. Over 11,000 Indian villages still had no 4G connectivity as of May 2026 and streamlining regulatory approval processes could benefit these areas, the report noted.

Cong MP Akoijam gets relief as Delhi court bars coercive action without 7-day notice
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) A Delhi court on Thursday restrained the Delhi Police from taking coercive steps against Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam in a case involving sexual harassment allegations by 11 female students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), directing the police to give him a seven-day advance notice in writing if his arrest becomes necessary. The Rouse Avenue Court passed the order while disposing of Akoijam's anticipatory bail plea after the Delhi Police informed it that the Congress MP was cooperating with the investigation and assured that he would be given seven days' notice before any arrest. The court directed the investigating agency to personally serve any such notice on Akoijam in writing at least seven days before taking him into custody. It also directed Akoijam to cooperate with the investigation and furnish the contact numbers of two family members to the investigating officer to ensure the timely delivery of notices. The court further said that the police would be at liberty to approach it if Akoijam failed to cooperate with the investigation. It directed the Delhi Police to complete the investigation and file the chargesheet in the case. The development comes days after the Delhi High Court granted interim relief to Akoijam by staying the operation of JNUs order dismissing him from service following an inquiry into sexual harassment allegations levelled by 11 female students. A single-judge Bench of Justice Anup J. Bhambhani had passed the interim order on November 2 while hearing Akoijam's writ petition challenging his dismissal from the varsity. The High Court had also issued notice to JNU and listed the matter for further hearing in January. According to the university's order issued on October 9, JNU Vice-Chancellor Santishree D. Pandit had ordered Akoijam's dismissal from service with immediate effect following an inquiry conducted by the university's Internal Complaints Committee. The complaints against Akoijam were submitted by 11 female students in May this year. The university had stated that disciplinary action was taken on the basis of the committee's findings and after following due process under the applicable service rules. Akoijam, the Congress MP from the Inner Manipur Lok Sabha constituency, had appeared before the Delhi Police at the Vasant Kunj North police station on October 15 in response to a summons to join the investigation. Describing the developments as a political matter, he had said that he appeared to cooperate with the investigation and did not want his absence to be construed as a lack of cooperation with the police. The Congress MP had subsequently approached the Rouse Avenue Court seeking anticipatory bail in connection with the case registered by the Delhi Police.

'Attempt to hide failure of INDIA bloc rally': BJP slams Rahul Gandhi over Punjab remarks
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday lashed out at Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, saying that the latter's remarks against the Centre in Punjab are an attempt to hide the failure of INDIA bloc's 'Dilli Chalo' rally. Earlier in the day, the LoP addressed a rally in Sangrur, Punjab, where he criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Amit Shah has announced a deadline to eradicate drugs. What deadline has he given? Three years? In three years, Amit Shah may not even be the Home Minister. I don't know what he is talking about. My assessment is that the government itself will fall within a year, Rahul Gandhi said. Reacting to the same, BJP National Spokesperson and MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said: Rahul Gandhi, perhaps you do not understand what determination means or how a resolve is turned into reality. Addressing a press conference, the BJP spokesperson cited the elimination of Naxalism from the country, following the March 31, 2026 deadline set by HM Shah. Not only has it been eliminated, but the past 12 months have also marked the first time in 47 years that there has not been a single CRPF casualty in a year, he underlined. Targeting the LoP, Trivedi further said: You were the one who said in 2011 that controlling terrorism was completely impossible. Today, India has succeeded in curbing terrorism so effectively that it has been eliminated from almost the entire country, except for three to four districts in South Kashmir. Your every prediction has proved wrong. You had written off LIC, but it is now recording all-time high profits. You said the State Bank of India was finished, but it is also posting all-time high profits. You claimed HAL had been ruined, but it too is reporting record profits. You also made baseless remarks about vaccines. That is why the Congress should decide whether a peculiar and frustrated leader with an unstable mind can lead the party's battle in the future, he added. He alleged that Rahul Gandhi is making such remarks in order to hide the failure of the INDIA bloc's 'Dilli Chalo' rally, held on Sunday at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan. The language Rahul Gandhi used during his visit to Punjab is an insult to the people of India. It also once again makes it clear that all those opposed to Lord Ram had gathered at Ramlila Maidan, where they echoed the voices of anti-national forces. It was merely a cheap tactic to divert attention from their massive failure, he alleged. Further, Sudhanshu Trivedi also criticised the LoP for his 'debate challenge' to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He asserted that according to the Constitution, the Parliament has been decided upon as the supreme institution for debates. If someone is an LoP and still opposes holding debates in Parliament, it is an insult to the Constitution and its principles. Through this, you are mocking the other Members of Parliament as well as those who have voted for you, he said. Citing past instances of PM Modi's speeches in Parliament, he told Rahul Gandhi, You have a tendency to run away whenever the Prime Minister begins speaking, like when he was speaking on the situation in Manipur. I would also like to humbly remind Rahul Gandhi that Narendra Modi has been the unanimously elected leader of the NDA for 12 years, whereas you are not the leader of the INDIA bloc. There is no entity called the INDIA bloc in either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha, Trivedi added. Taking a jibe, the BJP leader said: You recently organised a 'mock Parliament' to appease yourself and satisfy your ego, just as courtiers once used to arrange things to please their kings. Similarly, you can conduct a mock debate for yourself. He noted that there were no opposing views even at a symbolic public impeachment event, organised against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), saying: No debates were held even there...We believe in the tradition of debates in India, not you. Accusing the LoP of mocking democracy and the Constitution, Trivedi remarked that Rahul Gandhi challenging PM Modi for a debate is mockery of Parliament.

Digital Desk | Imphal, Nov 3 (IANS) Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Tuesday directed senior security officials to identify active armed groups, excluding those engaged in peace talks with the state government, suspected to be involved in the recent incidents of violence in the state, officials said.

Khemchand Singh also instructed the security agencies to submit a detailed report on the involvement of these groups at the earliest. The Chief Minister said that, based on the findings of the report, the state Cabinet would be constrained to consider declaring such groups as unlawful if their involvement in violence against innocent civilians is established.

Assam Rifles seize methamphetamine tablets worth Rs 3.49 crore; arrest one
Digital Desk | Silchar, Nov 3 (IANS) The Assam Rifles have seized highly addictive methamphetamine tablets worth over Rs 3.49 crore and arrested a suspected drug trafficker in Assam's Cachar district, officials said on Tuesday. A defence spokesman said that, as part of its sustained crackdown on narcotics trafficking, the Assam Rifles, in a joint operation with the Assam Police, apprehended a suspected drug trafficker and seized methamphetamine tablets worth approximately Rs 3.49 crore along Silchar Bypass Road in Cachar district. During the operation, the joint team recovered 1.363 kg of methamphetamine tablets and seized a scooty and a mobile phone from the possession of the apprehended individual. The arrested person, along with the recovered contraband and seized items, was subsequently handed over to the Assam Police for further investigation and legal proceedings under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. The methamphetamine tablets, commonly known as Yaba or party tablets, contain a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine and are also popularly referred to as the 'crazy drug'. These highly addictive synthetic drugs, which are banned in India, continue to be among the major narcotics smuggled into the Northeast from neighbouring Myanmar. Two days ago, on November 1, the Assam Rifles, in a significant breakthrough against narcotics trafficking, seized a massive consignment of 20 kg of crystal methamphetamine worth approximately Rs 40 crore at Dholai Bazar in the same Cachar district. The seizure was made during a joint operation conducted by the Assam Rifles and the Silchar-based Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) in southern Assam. The recovery is considered one of the biggest seizures of crystal methamphetamine in the region, and is expected to deal a major blow to organised synthetic drug trafficking networks operating in the Northeast. The back-to-back seizures highlight the continuing efforts of security and law enforcement agencies to curb the trafficking of synthetic drugs in the region, particularly along routes suspected to be used for smuggling narcotics from Myanmar. Mizoram and Manipur have emerged as major drug-trafficking corridors in the Northeast, largely because of their long and porous international borders with Myanmar and their proximity to the Golden Triangle, one of the worlds major illicit narcotics-producing regions. Six districts of Mizoram and five districts of Manipur share a combined 910-km-long international border with Myanmar, making the two northeastern states particularly vulnerable to cross-border drug smuggling. The Golden Triangle, comprising areas of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand, has long been identified as a major hub for the production and trafficking of illicit narcotics, including synthetic drugs. The porous international borders and difficult terrain in the region pose significant challenges for security agencies seeking to prevent the movement of narcotics and dismantle cross-border trafficking networks. The Assam Rifles, along with other central and state law enforcement agencies, have intensified operations to detect and intercept drug consignments and apprehend those involved in narcotics trafficking.

In a post on X, Venugopal said the anger witnessed at Ramlila Maidan the previous day was only a glimpse of the sweeping anti-incumbency sentiment prevailing in these BJP-ruled states. He alleged that hatred, loot, land-grab and total misgovernance symbolised the BJPs trouble engine model in both states. Referring to Manipur, Venugopal said the state continued to burn in the flames of ethnic conflict lit by the ruling regime. He noted that the people had already rejected the BJP in both Lok Sabha seats in 2024 and were eager to drive the party out completely. On Uttarakhand, he alleged that even the temples of Devbhoomi had not been spared from the Chanda Chori that the BJP had mastered in Ayodhya and elsewhere. He further claimed that vast mountains were being handed over to corporates despite clear warnings from nature against such destruction. Venugopal also highlighted the problems faced by the youth and women of Uttarakhand, ranging from leaked examination papers to what he described as a mockery of justice in the Ankita Bhandari case. He asserted that in 2027, the people would unseat the BJP and ensure a thumping majority for the Congress, which would bring back a peoples regime in these states. The meeting and Venugopals statement indicate that the Congress is intensifying its organisational and political efforts in Manipur and Uttarakhand with an eye on the next assembly elections. AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, who was also present, said the discussions with leaders from both Uttarakhand and Manipur focused on intensifying the partys organisational outreach and capitalising on the growing anti-incumbency against the BJP governments in the two states. He emphasised the need for a coordinated campaign that highlights issues of governance, local aspirations and public discontent.
