FMR or RMR facilitates regulated cross-border movement along India-Myanmar border
Digital Desk | Kohima, Sep 21 (IANS) The Free Movement Regime (FMR) or Regulated Movement Regime (RMR) facility allows eligible residents of villages located within 10 km of the India-Myanmar border on either side to undertake regulated cross-border movement, officials said on Monday. A defence spokesman said that the scale of legitimate movement facilitated under the FMR/RMR also underscores that the mechanism is not intended to prevent people-to-people contact, but to regulate such movement in accordance with the prescribed conditions. According to official records, 16,428 Border Passes have been issued so far, indicating that regulated cross-border movement continues to be facilitated for eligible people who meet the prescribed requirements, the spokesman said. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 2024 announced that the Free Movement Regime (FMR), which earlier allowed people residing along the India-Myanmar border to travel 16 km into each other's territory without a passport and visa, would be scrapped soon. Instead, the MHA decided to replace the FMR with a new scheme to issue a pass to the border residents of both India and Myanmar living within 10 km on either side of the frontier to regulate cross-border movements. The Nagaland and Mizoram governments and a large number of political parties and civil societies in the two Northeastern states have been strongly opposing both border fencing and the scrapping of the FMR. Four Northeastern states -- Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland, and Mizoram -- share a 1,643-km unfenced border with Myanmar. The MHA had earlier decided to erect fencing on the entire porous border, known for the smuggling of arms, ammunition, narcotics, illegal cross-border movement and various other contrabands, at a cost of Rs 31,000 crore. The defence spokesman, in a statement, said that a section of the media recently alleged that the Assam Rifles stopped the Naga Students Federation (NSF) delegation from travelling to Myanmar at Avangkhu in Meluri district of Nagaland, without seeking clarification from the competent authorities and understanding the policies on the subject matter. It is hereby clarified by the Assam Rifles that the movement of the delegation of the NSF towards Myanmar was stopped in the absence of the requisite authorisation required for crossing the international border and not on account of its identity or the stated purpose of its visit, as being reported by the media outlet or claimed by NSF, the statement said. It said that eight persons arrived at the designated crossing point in three vehicles on September 19. The delegates, according to the statement, expressed their intention to cross the Indo-Myanmar Border towards Tsera in Myanmar. On being asked for the documents essentially required for an authorised cross-border movement, the delegation was unable to produce a valid Border Pass or Permission issued by the competent authority, the statement said. The issue, therefore, is that of regulatory compliance rather than denial of cultural or people-to-people contact. Unfortunately, social media and media platforms are being used by posting public statements and messaging to portray the incident as an attack on the Naga identity and turn a specific border - regulation issue into a wider community - versus - security - force narrative, it said. It is reiterated that the cross-border movement is subject to the prescribed conditions laid down in the policy on the subject. The prevailing regulated movement framework provides for cross-border movement through designated points subject to prescribed eligibility and documentation. The delegation of NSF had travelled from Kohima, the state capital and therefore was not legally authorised to claim automatic entitlement to cross-border movement, merely based on its proposed cultural-exchange programme or reference letters, the statement pointed out. The statement said: A reference letter or recommendation from a civil organisation is not a valid document that constitutes permission to cross an international boundary.

Methamphetamine tablets and heroin worth Rs 3.68 crores seized in Mizoram and Manipur; 5 arrested
Digital Desk | Aizawl/Imphal, Sep 20 (IANS) Security forces in Mizoram and Manipur seized methamphetamine tablets and heroin worth over Rs 3.68 crore and arrested five drug peddlers, officials said on Sunday. A defence spokesman said that acting on specific intelligence inputs regarding illegal transportation of narcotic substances, Assam Rifles launched a joint operation with Mizoram Police T-Junction areas of Mimbung-Kawlbem-Ngopa in Saitual District. During the operation, the joint team apprehended a drug peddler. Further search of the individual led to recovery of 2.285 kg of the methamphetamine tablets, valued at approximately Rs 1.83 crore. The apprehended individual along with the recovered contraband were taken by Ngopa Police station for further investigation and necessary legal action under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act 1985. In another operation, based on credible intelligence regarding transhipment of narcotics at Iron Gate in bordering Zokhawthar, troops of Assam Rifles in coordination with Mizoram Police launched a targeted operation in the area under the Champhai district, a hot spot of illegal drug trade from Myanmar. During the operation, the joint team intercepted a drug smuggler at Iron Gate, and on thorough search recovered 28 grams of heroin, a highly dangerous narcotic substance with an estimated value of Rs 5.6 lakh. The individual was subsequently arrested. The seized contraband and the apprehended individual were subsequently handed over to Zokhawthar Police Station for further investigation and requisite legal proceedings under the NDPS act. This seizure reflects Assam Rifles continued resolve to dismantle drug trafficking networks and ensure the safety and security of the border population in Mizoram. The successful operation highlights the operational effectiveness, vigilance and intelligence-based approach of Assam Rifles and Mizoram Police in combating the trafficking of narcotic substances and maintaining security in the region, an official statement said. According to the statement, the force remains steadfast in its commitment towards ensuring peace, security and stability in the Northeast. In Manipur, a combined team of state Police, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Assam Rifles in Senapati district arrested two drug peddlers, both natives of Assams Goalpara District and recovered methamphetamine tablets weighing 2.3 kg contained in ten packets. The value of the drugs estimated to be Rs 1.80 crore. The arrested drug smugglers were identified as Rohim Ali (23) and Anowar Hussiain Laskar (48). Following further investigation, one of their accomplices, Md Nawaz Khan, a resident Mayai Leikai in Imphal, was also arrested. A Bolero vehicle, cash amount of Rs 5,000 also recovered from them. Mizoram and Manipur have emerged as major drug-trafficking corridors in the Northeast because of 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. Six districts of Mizoram and five districts of Manipur share around 910 km of unfenced international border with Myanmar.
Indias young engineers must cross academic boundaries: Mizoram Governor
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) Calling on the next generation of engineers to embrace interdisciplinary thinking, Mizoram Governor General (Dr) Vijay Kumar Singh has said Indias future technological leadership would depend on engineers who can work across traditional academic and professional boundaries. Addressing the 18th IEI Industry Excellence Summit & Awards 2026 here, organised by the Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI), the Governor highlighted the crucial role engineering has played in India's development and urged young professionals to build on that legacy. The summit was held under the theme, Engineering Indias Global Footprint: Technology, Talent and Trust. General Singh said Indias engineering accomplishments span a wide range of sectors, including dams, steel plants, highways, metro networks, renewable energy systems, telecommunications, the space programme, indigenous defence manufacturing and digital public infrastructure. He stressed that while India has already achieved significant milestones, the responsibility of shaping the countrys next phase of growth rests with todays engineering talent. According to the Governor, the boundaries separating engineering disciplines are rapidly disappearing. He noted that civil engineers increasingly need expertise in technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS), sensors, artificial intelligence and climate modelling, while mechanical engineers are being drawn into robotics and advanced manufacturing. Similarly, electrical engineers are working on energy storage and smart-grid technologies, and software engineers are increasingly involved with hardware systems, cybersecurity and physical infrastructure. He said engineering graduates must move beyond narrowly defined specialisations and develop the ability to collaborate across disciplines, experiment with new ideas and create practical solutions to real-world challenges. He also advocated stronger emphasis on design thinking, field exposure, interdisciplinary projects and prototyping within engineering education. Highlighting Indias capacity to build infrastructure at scale, General Singh said equal attention must now be given to maintaining and sustaining existing assets. He pointed to the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) as a major engineering success story, saying that while it is commonly viewed as a fintech innovation, it is underpinned by sophisticated engineering involving interoperability, distributed systems, cybersecurity, real-time processing and large-scale digital infrastructure. The Governor also cited Indias space programme as an example of engineering excellence achieved despite resource and technology constraints.

SSB seizes over 325 kg ganja in Arunachal Pradesh, one arrested
Digital Desk | Kolkata/Itanagar, Sep 20 (IANS) The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), in a coordinated operation with the Arunachal Pradesh Police, seized nearly 325.5 kg of cannabis (Ganja) from the West Kameng district of the state on Friday. The operation was carried out by troops of the 61 Battalion SSB, Bhairabkhunda. One person has been arrested in this connection. The seizure comes weeks after the Assam Police seized over 307 kg of ganja near the state's border with Arunachal Pradesh. According to officials, Arunachal Pradesh has now turned into a major producer of narcotics like Opium and Cannabis (Ganja). This illicit cultivation takes place in remote parts of the state. Cultivators and traffickers believe that the terrain and difficult landscape will leave their operations undetected. However, security agencies have launched a drive to prevent the production and trafficking of narcotics. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has also directed all agencies to remain alert towards the movement of narcotics through states in northeastern India that are close to the infamous Golden Triangle. This is part of the Government's drive against narcotics as part of its Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan. The state government in Arunachal Pradesh has also launched a crackdown on the cultivation of illegal drugs. The state has so far destroyed 18.587 acres of illegal poppy (opium) and 64.59 acres of cannabis cultivation in the state, Chief Secretary Manish Kumar Gupta said recently. Such operations are crucial to prevent the consumption of narcotics in the strategic border state as well as their transportation elsewhere. This illegal activity is related to crime and even insurgency. There is evidence that insurgent groups promote such trade for profit. It is also a way of recruiting the youth from such states by engaging them in this trade, an official said. Central Armed Police Forces and paramilitary forces like the SSB and Assam Rifles are now assisting local authorities in states like Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura to tackle the menace of narcotics. There is better coordination between the state police and central forces now. Intelligence networks have been created, and there are regular crackdowns on the trafficking of narcotics. Thousands of kg of narcotics - both cultivated locally and smuggled from across the border have been seized over the last few months. This action will continue, the official said. Groups involved in the racket are also being identified, and members are being apprehended during the operations.

Assam Rifles showcases operational preparedness, capabilities in Agartala
Digital Desk | Agartala, Sep 18 (IANS) The Assam Rifles on Friday organised a display of weapons and equipment in Agartala to showcase its capabilities, operational preparedness and role in safeguarding the nation and maintaining security in the Northeast. A defence spokesman said that the Assam Rifles organised a weapons and equipment display at Saheed Bhagat Singh Youth Hostel in Agartala on Friday for NCC (National Cadet Corps) cadets as part of its continued efforts to enhance awareness about the role, capabilities and operational preparedness of the force. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation by cadets and provided them the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of various weapons, equipment and specialised systems employed by Assam Rifles, he said. The cadets actively interacted with Assam Rifles personnel and inquired about the capabilities, employment and operational significance of the weapons. According to the defence spokesman, the initiative also served as an important platform to motivate and inspire the youth towards a career in the Armed Forces and Assam Rifles. The interaction provided the participants with insight into the professional ethos, commitment and role of Assam Rifles. The event reaffirmed Assam Rifles commitment towards youth engagement, nation-building and fostering a spirit of patriotism and service among the younger generation. Such outreach initiatives continue to strengthen the bond between Assam Rifles and the people of the Northeast, the official noted. Assam Rifles units are posted across several states in Northeastern India, including Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Assam and Tripura. While insurgency has been brought under control in most of the states, there are continuous attempts by banned outfits to regroup and build up networks through extortion and recruitment of youths. The paramilitary force has been playing a vital role in curbing organised drug trafficking networks in the Northeast, especially in Mizoram, Manipur, Assam and Tripura. The Assam Rifles maintains constant vigil on activities involving insurgent groups. Insurgents operate across state boundaries to evade the police. The insurgent groups are also linked to each other and provide shelter to each other's cadres. A strong intelligence network is required to get to them, a senior official said.

Leaders across political spectrum greet PM
New Delhi, Sep 17:Leaders across the political spectrum greeted Prime Minister NarendraModi on his 76th birthday on Thursday, highlighting his 25 years in public office. While President Droupadi Murmu hailed his record on governance, Home Minister Amit Shah recalled Modi's journey from an ordinary BJP volunteer to the nation's highest political office. Vice President C P Radhakrishnan credited Modi with presiding over India's emergence as one of the world's fastest-growing major economies, while Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said his journey from Gujarat chief minister to prime minister had given a new momentum to India's growth story. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi also wished Modi a long and healthy life. Born on September 17, 1950, in Gujarat's Vadnagar, Modi turned 76 on Thursday. He completes 25 uninterrupted years in public office on October 7, having first taken the oath as Gujarat chief minister in 2001 before becoming prime minister in 2014. In her birthday message, Murmu said Modi had set numerous new benchmarks for good governance during his tenures as chief minister and prime minister and given unprecedented momentum and a new direction to inclusive development.

Radhakrishnan said Modi's references to backward districts as aspirational districts, border villages as vibrant and first villages, and the northeast as ashtalakshmi reflected an approach aimed at transforming geographical marginalisation into empowerment. Over the past year, as I travelled across the states and Union territories, I witnessed firsthand how these transformative changes are reaching even the remotest parts of our country, he said. LokSabha Speaker Om Birla said India was forging a new identity on the global stage under Modi's leadership and making progress in development, self-reliance, innovation, digital technology, infrastructure and public welfare. Your public life, spanning over 25 years, has proven immensely fruitful for the strengthening of democratic values and for the upliftment of the nation's vulnerable and underprivileged sections, Birla said. N Chandrababu Naidu, the TDP chief and a key BJP ally, hailed Modi's journey from Gujarat chief minister to prime minister. Marking 25 exemplary years of public service, from leading Gujarat as a transformational CM to guiding the nation as a revolutionary PM, you have given a new momentum to India's growth story, he said. Your vision of 'seva, sankalp and sushasan' continues to inspire 140 crore citizens across the nation, Naidu said, praying to Lord Venkateswara for Modi's long and healthy life. JD(U) chief and former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar also extended his greetings, wishing Modi a healthy and long life. BJP president Nitin Nabin described Modi as the embodiment of dedication and service to the nation. He said his journey, driven by the resolve of Nation First, was an inspiring saga of service, good governance, and public welfare. Under your guidance, India is scaling new heights of development and self-reliance, steadily advancing on the global stage with a renewed identity and enhanced strength, he said. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde described Modi as the embodiment of India's progress and the aspirations of its people. Modi embodies the story of India's progress. He resonates in the hearts of every citizen. He stands as a symbol of welfare for the poor. He represents the youthful spirit of this young nation. He is the source of courage amidst every challenge. He is a thunderous force against adversaries. He embodies the soul of 1.4 billion dreams. He is the hallmark of a New India, Shinde said. Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda conveyed his wishes to Modi in a letter. May you be blessed with a long and healthy life. May you continue to lead our nation with dedication and wisdom. May you help our nation realise its enormous potential and further strengthen its exalted place in the world, he said. DMK president and former Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin wished Modi good health, happiness and a long life. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and TVK chief Vijay also conveyed his heartfelt birthday wishes to Modi, whom he described as working with dedication towards building a strong India, and wished him a long and healthy life.

Drugs worth over Rs 40 crore seized in Tripura; one arrested
Digital Desk | Agartala, Sep 16 (IANS) In a major narcotics haul, the Tripura Police have seized highly addictive methamphetamine tablets worth over Rs 40 crore and arrested a drug peddler on Wednesday. Informing about the drug seizure, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, in a post on his X, said, A major breakthrough in our fight against drugs ! In a significant operation, North Tripura Police under Panisagar Police Station seized 50 kg of Yaba tablets valued at approx. 40 crore, a major blow to the illicit drug network. This success reflects the unwavering commitment of our police and security forces to protect our youth and society from the menace of drugs and strengthens our mission towards a Nasha Mukt Tripura, said CM Saha, who also holds the home portfolio. Police said that the seized drugs were suspected to have been smuggled from Myanmar, and through Mizoram, the narcotics entered Tripura to be smuggled to neighbouring Bangladesh. Tripura shares a 109 km interstate border with Mizoram, and the 856 km international border with Bangladesh. The methamphetamine tablets, also known as Yaba or party tablets, contain a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine and are misused as high-dosage drugs in Bangladesh and neighbouring countries, besides India. The drugs were banned in India. Various types of cough syrups containing codeine phosphate are also commonly misused and illegally smuggled into Bangladesh. 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. Six districts of Mizoram and five districts of Manipur share around 910 km of unfenced international border with Myanmar. CM Saha had earlier said that his government follows a zero-tolerance policy towards the drug menace. Law enforcement agencies must take all-out measures to curb drug-related activities, he had said. The Chief Minister also said that the state government has decided to set up drug de-addiction centres in all eight districts of Tripura, with Rs 20 crore earmarked for each centre. He said the Union Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) has already sanctioned Rs 198 crore to set up a special drug de-addiction centre at Bishramganj in Sepahijala district.

The Governor interacted with the participants and commended them for their confidence, clarity of thought and commitment to a cause that is of critical importance to society. He expressed his appreciation for the high standard of the declamation competition, noting that the participants articulated their views with conviction, maturity and a deep sense of social responsibility. The Governor said that such platforms not only nurture public speaking skills but also encourage young minds to think critically about issues affecting their communities. In all, 31 participants from higher educational institutions across the state, including Arunachal Pradesh University, Pasighat; Dera Natung College, Itanagar; Binni Yanga Government Women's College, Jote; Jarbom Gamlin Law College, Jote; Dorjee Khandu Government College, Tawang; NERIST, Nirjuli; Arunadaya University, Itanagar; Arunachal University of Studies, Namsai; Apex Professional University, Pasighat; IGTAMSU, Ziro; and Don Bosco College, Itanagar, participated in the declamation competition.

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.
Nagaland CM Rio and Dy CM Patton meet HM Amit Shah, discuss state affairs
Digital Desk | New Delhi/Kohima, Sep 11 (IANS) Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and Deputy Chief Minister Yanthungo Patton on Friday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi and discussed various issues concerning the state, officials said. After the meeting, the Chief Minister, in a post on X, said: We met the Home Minister Shah to request his intervention and support in fast-tracking Nagalands developmental aspirations. Grateful for his continued guidance and support towards Nagalands progress and development, Rio said. Taking to social media platform X, Deputy CM Patton wrote: Met with Honble Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji today in New Delhi, along with Honble Chief Minister Dr Neiphiu Rio. We had a meaningful discussion on matters concerning Nagaland, including the states development priorities and the welfare and aspirations of our people. Grateful to the Honble Union Home Minister for his time and continued attention towards Nagaland. Meanwhile, the Nagaland Legislative Assembly last week unanimously adopted a government resolution urging the Centre to urgently review and withdraw the Protected Area Permit (PAP) regime currently applicable to the state and restore the earlier relaxation. During the 9th session of the 14th Nagaland Legislative Assembly unanimously accepted a resolution urging the Central government to urgently review and withdraw the PAP regime presently applicable to Nagaland and restore the relaxation that had earlier been in operation. The resolution, moved by Deputy Chief Minister Yanthungo Patton, who also holds the Home and Border Affairs portfolios, and unanimously adopted by the House, highlighted Nagalands peaceful environment and its growing potential for tourism, culture, investment, entrepreneurship and international engagement. The House noted that tourism, along with the service and creative sectors, has emerged as an important source of employment and livelihood, particularly for the youth. The Assembly also noted that civil society organisations, tribal bodies, tourism stakeholders, entrepreneurs and other sections of Naga society have repeatedly expressed their desire for the withdrawal or relaxation of the PAP regime. The PAP, imposed in Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram, under the Foreigners (Protected Areas) Order, 1958, regulates and restricts the entry of foreign nationals into designated areas.
India administers over 80 lakh HPV vaccine doses under national campaign since Feb
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) India has crossed a significant milestone in its efforts to prevent cervical cancer, with over 80 lakh doses of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine administered under the National HPV Vaccination Campaign since its launch in February 2026, an official statement said on Friday. Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Mizoram have achieved 100 per cent coverage of their respective identified target populations, the statement from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said. Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Assam have crossed 90 per cent coverage, while Karnataka has achieved more than 85 per cent coverage. Chhattisgarh, Sikkim, Kerala, Telangana and Odisha have crossed 60 per cent coverage. The nationwide drive, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2026, offers voluntary, singledose HPV vaccination free of cost to 14yearold girls at government health facilities with parental consent. As per Registrar General of India (RGI) 2021 estimates, approximately 1.2 crore girls constitute the annual cohort of 14-year-olds who are expected to benefit from the initiative each year. The progress in Assam and other Northeastern States also demonstrated the role of integrated community health networks and coordinated field-level action in expanding access across geographically diverse areas. Healthcare providers, including paediatricians, gynaecologists and experts from institutions such as AIIMS, along with teachers and frontline health workers including ASHAs and ANMs, have supported awareness and mobilisation efforts across states and districts. The campaign has also leveraged Indias digital health infrastructure through the U-WIN platform, enabling programme managers to monitor vaccination coverage at the district level, identify coverage gaps and missed beneficiaries, and support more effective programme planning and resource allocation. Currently, 87 per cent of upper-middle-income countries, 78 per cent of lower-middle-income countries and 54 per cent of low-income countries have adopted HPV vaccines in their National Immunization Programmes. All vaccination sessions under the campaign are conducted under the supervision of trained medical officers at government health facilities. Government health facilities are also linked with 247 healthcare facilities for appropriate management of rare Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI). This mechanism ensures timely assessment, monitoring and management of any vaccination-related adverse event. With the campaign progressing towards its final phase, the focus remains on reaching the remaining eligible beneficiaries and ensuring that no eligible girl is left behind, the ministry said. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare continues to work closely with States and Union Territories, healthcare professionals, frontline health workers and communities to strengthen awareness, facilitate access and support effective implementation of the HPV Vaccination Campaign, the statement noted.

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.
