Assam police launch massive drive against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants
GUWAHATI: The Assam Police launched a massive drive to detect illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. Even though there were no official report on the number of people detained, over 150 people were said to be detained from Guwahati and its adjoining areas alone. Police sources said the documents of the detainees were being examined. The drive by police started on Saturday night and dozens of people were taken to a police reserve in Guwahati for the scrutiny of their documents. Worried family members and relatives flocked to the police reserve. Senior police officials remained tight-lipped and no clarity was given on whether the detainees were arrested or released. The drive was followed after a directive from the Ministry of Home Affairs to the states and the Union Territories to identify, detain, and deport illegal immigrants after verifying their documents. A 30-day deadline was set for them. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said those who habitually threaten India on the Chicken Neck Corridor must know that Bangladesh has two of its own chicken necks and both are far more vulnerable. First is the 80 Km North Bangladesh Corridor from Dakhin Dinajpur to South West Garo Hills. Any disruption here can completely isolate the entire Rangpur division from the rest of Bangladesh. Second is the 28 km Chittagong Corridor, from South Tripura to the Bay of Bengal. This corridor, smaller than Indias chicken neck, is the only link between Bangladeshs economic capital and political capital, Sarma posted on X on Sunday. I am only presenting geographical facts that some may tend to forget. Just like Indias Siliguri Corridor (also known as the Chickens Neck) our neighbouring country is also embedded with two narrow corridors of theirs, he further wrote. To those who habitually threaten India on the Chicken Neck Corridor, should note these facts as well: 1 Bangladesh has two of its own chicken necks. Both are far more vulnerable 2 First is the 80 Km North Bangladesh Corridor- from Dakhin Dinajpur to South West Garo pic.twitter.com/DzV3lUAOhR Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) May 25, 2025

Woman, daughter held for involvement in ponzi scheme case, duping 34K investors of Rs 123 crore
BHUBANESWAR : The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch has arrested a mother-daughter duo from West Bengal for their alleged involvement in cheating around 34,000 investors of a whopping Rs 123 crore across six states of the country as well as neighbouring Bangladesh. The accused, Dwipika Bhanjo and her daughter Tandra, were arrested on Tuesday and produced in an OPID court in Cuttack on Wednesday. The agency had registered a case on May 28 last year basing on the complaint of one of the investors Manmohan Dora of Bhubaneswar. As per the complainant, Tusar Bhanjo, Dwipikas husband and director of Harit Krishi Nidhi limited, had lured him and hundreds of other depositors to invest in his company on the promise of receiving high returns like monthly interest of 11 per cent, and 4 per cent to 5 per cent extra commission for adding new members in the ponzi scheme. Crime Branch DG Vinaytosh Mishra said Tusar was arrested on June 4 last year. During investigation, police ascertained that Tusar and his family members were shareholders-cum-directors of Harit Krishi. Out of the total swindled amount, Rs 41 lakh and Rs 43.67 lakh were transferred to the bank accounts of Dwipika and Tandra respectively. However, the mother and daughter had been absconding since then, he added. Mishra also informed that proceedings have been initiated to confiscate Tusars flat in new Alipore and a plot in Paschim Medinipur. EOW said the accused had assured the investors of providing monthly salaries of Rs 4,000 on investment of Rs 4 lakh and Rs 8,000 on deposits of Rs 8 lakh. He used to organise meetings and promote the schemes on social media to attract investors. During investigation, EOW found out that Tusar had set up M/s Transvision Dream Multi Trade private limited registered with ROC in Cuttack in 2023. The same year, he started Harit Krishi Nidhi limited, which was incorporated with ROC in West Bengal. He had, however, opened offices of Harit Krishi in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Assam and other states in violation of the Nidhi rules. As per the rules, a Nidhi company cannot operate beyond the state of its incorporation, said the EOW. Tusar reportedly collected deposits from about 10,000 investors in Odisha and cheated them. He has also duped the investors in West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Tripura, Maharashtra and even Bangladesh. Sources said the money was reportedly siphoned off to Bangladesh and China.

After celebrating the completion of four years of his second tenure, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan sat down for a no-holds-barred conversation with the TNIE team. He appeared sharp, composed, and battle-ready unfazed by political noise and firmly in control. In this exclusive interaction, the CPM veteran spoke about how the state managed to stay afloat during the financial crisis, the efforts to find a permanent solution to the human-wildlife conflict, and why he thinks the Congress leadership has failed to take the INDIA bloc forward in an effective manner. Excerpts When most pundits expected a change, LDF got a second term in 2021. What are the things you would like to do in the final year of this term? Well, our focus is to finish the pending promises in LDFs election manifesto. The attempt is to ensure the completion of projects in all seriousness. Im pretty sure well be able to do it. This government has executed several big projects including the Vizhinjam port. Which project has given you the most satisfaction? If you look at Vizhinjam, we cannot call it a state-specific project. Its an important national project. When we decided to implement the project, we realised there are some vested interests working against it. We have been able to complete the project and I have to say there was cooperation from everyone. While the central government assisted the project, it was completed because of the efforts of the state government. The project has now become a reality and it has opened the doors to immense development possibilities. Everyone is keenly watching the progress of work on the national highway. Whats your assessment? The work is progressing at a considerable pace. Some stretches have been opened to traffic. The government expects to complete the work by December. The entire project? Not full, but a major portion. There are also issues related to the financial squeeze by the central government. How will you overcome this? We should realise that the nations progress happens when the Centre and the state work in unison. Unfortunately, the central government has not adopted this policy, and thats why they are treating Kerala with hostility. But just because we have aired our disagreements on one issue, it doesnt mean we wont cooperate with them. This tightening is not just in the financial sector. Everyone agrees that Keralas health sector is exemplary. But we dont have an AIIMS. We have discussed this with the central ministers, including the prime minister. The impression we get is we will get an AIIMS. But when an announcement comes, theres no AIIMS for Kerala. This has happened not once but many times. But well continue with our efforts. As a chief minister, you have faced unprecedented challenges over the past nine years 2018 flood, Covid, Nipah outbreak, Wayanad disaster, etc. What was the biggest crisis amongst these? Each crisis is a crisis. If you take each one of them, they all affect the lives of people. When the Nipah outbreak happened, nobody had heard of it and never imagined it would be this severe. The flood was the worst in a century. It shook the whole of Kerala. And during Covid, the entire world shivered. We survived all these challenges because Kerala has a peculiarity our peoples unity and solidarity. The people and the land come together in a time of crisis. Who helped us and who did not never crossed our minds. One big takeaway was that the entire world was looking at us in awe. Everyone wondered how we were able to overcome this crisis despite no help coming from those who were supposed to help us. There were situations when the central government even denied help from those who came forward to help us. We did not break down. Maybe thats why you are referred to as captain (Laughs) People say you find an opportunity in any crisis. Is that so? (Laughs) Let the people decide these things. Kerala contributes a big amount to the Railways. Yet the railway development in Kerala is suffering... Everywhere, high speed trains are running. We too planned a similar project through K-Rail. In the normal case, the central government should have given the go-ahead. But when some people objected to this here, the Centre sided with these elements. We realised that we cant move ahead with the project. So we halted the proposal. Then E Sreedharan came up with an alternative plan. We felt it was essential to gauge the Union governments thoughts and put it up before them. We are yet to receive a response. While theres consensus that Kerala needs a high-speed rail, was the way you tried to implement it a bit thoughtless? Its a challenge specific to our state. We had to acquire land for the project, and the foundation stone was laid. But we didnt anticipate that permission would be denied. Its a loss for the state. Some people believe it isnt necessary now. But when will it be? People aspire for better transportation and they now face difficulties travelling. A dedicated high-speed rail line will be a game-changer. Given the Union governments squeeze on funds, are you planning new initiatives to raise resources? Weve been able to significantly increase the states own revenue, both tax and non-tax. This has led to a substantial growth in the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). There are positive changes in the states finances, enabling us to manage the economy and finances effectively despite the constraints. Weve also successfully increased the per capita income. Actually, the states position is quite good and the overall picture is really positive now. Despite the financial crunch, Kerala persists with forming pay commissions every five years, unlike other states and the Centre, which adopt a ten-year cycle. Moreover, the state is hesitating to increase the retirement age of government employees... Its a practical issue. This desire for government jobs makes it challenging to suddenly change the retirement age, which would only add to the disillusionment. We cant label people above 56 as inefficient as many individuals remain highly productive well into their 60s globally. Given the current situation, taking such a political decision is difficult. Instead, were focusing on increasing employment opportunities across the board. Some people say the first Pinarayi government performed better than the current one. As a team leader, whats your take? I dont share that view. This perception was largely created by some journalists and media outlets, highlighting the absence of certain key leaders from the previous ministry in the current government and speculating about potential shortcomings. In my opinion, the current team is working and performing well. Weve been able to move things forward efficiently as a team. The state is grappling with man-animal conflicts. Whats the government doing to find a permanent solution? The earth belongs to all and its essential to maintain the balance of nature. Were allocating significant funds towards finding a permanent solution and have also approached the Centre for additional funding and support. Many people believe that if the Pinarayi government fails to secure a third term, the forest department would be the reason... (Laughs) I dont think so. The population of certain species has increased significantly and were struggling to control them. Globally, there are methods to manage wildlife numbers. However, our laws currently restrict us from taking certain measures. Controlling the rapid spread of these species is essential. It is said that Veerappan used to joke, You will realise my worth only when Im gone (chuckles). Does that mean we have to cull wild animals? Yes. After some time, we have to think about it. There was no wild pig menace in our villages during my childhood days. But now they are everywhere. Even in Alappuzha, where there is no forest, farmers complain wild pigs are destroying crops. Now, weve empowered panchayat presidents to issue orders to kill pigs. Forest officers are now going after them to see what they do with the carcass. Ive told them to stop going after dead pigs. We need to have a law to control the population of wild animals. We have urged the Union government to amend the law. The High Court has said the vice-chancellor for the Kerala Technical University should be selected from the panel submitted by the state government. Do you feel the states stand is vindicated? The High Court had taken a stand against the steps taken by former Governor Arif Mohammed Khan. However, Khan was adamant in his stand. Were happy with the development. Is there a change in the approach of the governors office after Rajendra Arlekar took over? He is not Arif Mohammed Khan. The new governor is a mature person. What lessons have the Kerala CPM learnt from decimation of the party in West Bengal and Tripura? (Laughs) Kerala CPM hasnt conducted any special study. In Tripura, the CPM government was pro-people in its approach. The national leadership of the party had analysed the development and the report was studied by the state unit of the party. There were no complaints or allegations against the government in Tripura despite its long tenure. There are concerns Kerala CPM will go the Bengal and Tripura way if it gets a third consecutive term... (Laughs) Whether we are in power or not, CPM will ensure the party machinery functions. If theres a problem affecting the people, the party will step in to support them. The public do not get distanced from the party as we stand with them and address their problems with a pro-people approach. Theres criticism the party is unable to correct the government as the CMs stature is above that of the party Nobody is above the party. The party has a mechanism to correct us. The party will hold discussions and make course corrections if needed. Its said Pinarayi is the party and the party is Pinarayi These are false narratives. Ive always been a volunteer of the party. I fulfil the duties and responsibilities vested on me by the party. For years, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan was part of your political career... The loss of Kodiyeri has been a huge loss for me personally. We shared a special bond. It was painful but we have to tide over such issues and move forward. You have an organic connect with the Muslim community. But of late, the narrative is that theres an understanding between BJP and CPM. How does the party plan to overcome this? The Jamaat-e-Islami is behind this narrative, trying to drive a wedge between CPM and the community. The Muslim community wont fall into that trap. Sunnis are the prominent faction among Muslims and they dont accept Jamaat-e-Islami. Whenever UDF weakens or runs into trouble, Jamaat-e-Islami steps in to support them. Initially, this support was covert but now its out in the open. Earlier, the Congress and the Muslim League used to oppose them. They have now started cooperatingfirst secretly and now publicly. Jamaat-e-Islami has a strong intellectual and organisational network, and they do their best to create wrong narratives. However, todays society is much more aware. Those who accuse us of supporting RSS must remember that it is the CPM that has lost the most lives to RSS violence in Kerala, and this continues even today. Its strange to see that Pinarayi Vijayan is enemy number one of both RSS and Jamaat-e-Islami Thats simply because we truly are secular. If you become a spokesperson of secularism, all communal elements will oppose you. The Christian community used to support both UDF and LDF. Now, many of them are leaning towards BJP. How do you look at this trend? Theres a serious attempt by RSS to influence sections of the Christian community to take a communal stance. A particular organisation is even working towards this. These campaigns are well-supported and well-funded. A few Christian leaders have occasionally expressed support for communal forces, often driven by personal motives. It is not that the Christian community is unaware of whats happening, but theres a need for a deeper understanding of the threat. They should understand the actual danger in this. Secularism must be upheld unconditionally and any form of communalism should be opposed. Minorities across the country are being targeted. This is a time when minority communities and secular-minded individuals should stand united. BJP won its first assembly seat in Kerala in 2016, and as you had vowed, that account was closed in the next election. But they won a seat again, in the following Lok Sabha elections. How do you see BJPs growth in Kerala? Kerala has been one of the strongholds of RSS for a long time. Each time they (BJP) opened their account in Kerala, they used certain tricks. The erosion of Congress votes ensured their victories. Did the party fail to foresee Suresh Gopis chances? Suresh Gopi won because of the leakage of Congress votes. LDF did not lose its votes. But Congress lost its votes and that went fully to the BJP candidate. There were talks that some IUML leaders wanted their party to join LDF. Has LDF decided not to accept IUML under any circumstance? (Laughs) Thats wishful thinking. Which is the main party in UDF now? It is IUML. So, we have no unwanted desires. In both LDF governments, the performance of the home department has come under criticism The home department is functioning well. During this governments tenure, Kerala Police have become more responsive. A lot of reforms have been implemented to ensure the force operates with a citizen-centric approach. Some party leaders believe giving a free hand to the police was a mistake... (Laughs). Police havent been given a free hand. They have been given the freedom to do the right thing. The police should be able to function independently. I believe thats a good thing. The party does think so. Earlier, it used to be said the party runs the police whenever CPM is in power. Now, it seems they are unhappy the party doesnt do that... (Laughs) I dont want to comment. When you took over for the first time, you reminded officials that each file contains a life. Do you think they took this advice in right earnest? There has been a major change in the movement of files. However, theres plenty of room for improvement. We cannot expect a sudden change. There are certain characteristics and approaches acquired over time. Itll take some time to change. Yet there has been a positive change. And well be able to make more changes. How do you view the recent open revolt and tussle among IAS officers? The government views it seriously. IAS officers are symbols of the state in front of the masses. They should carry out their duties accordingly. The government intends to take appropriate action. Recently, Congress leader P Chidambaram pointed out that the INDIA bloc has become weaker... (Smiles). Right from the beginning, we... the CPM.... havent viewed it as an alliance. We are of the view that a common ground should be formed against BJP, and based on state-specific scenarios, it should be taken forward. The Congress, being the bigger party in the INDIA bloc and with its wider presence, has the most significant role to play. But the experiences so far show that the Congress and its leadership have no clear understanding about it at all. Whats needed is unity in addressing issues against BJP. But the Congress gives weightage only to its own position and interests. Even as INDIA bloc is losing its relevance, theres a collective opposition coming up in south India against the Centre... Yes. Its true that theres a general sentiment against the Centre in these states. Battle lines have been drawn in the Congress against Shashi Tharoor. Has it come to your attention? (Smiles). Lets wait and see what happens. CPM has agreed to send its member as part of the delegation to brief other countries about Pakistans designs When a delegation is sent to explain our countrys stand before the world, CPM will take part. Recently, there were reports of a cabinet reshuffle... Which one? Union cabinet? No... state cabinet. (Laughs out loud). Im unaware of it. Its said that you are someone who smiles only when you feel like and express anger when you feel angry. You dont have the diplomatic traits typical of politicians. Has it created any issues in your political life? (Smiles). Anyway, Ive reached thus far... You are also someone who doesnt hesitate to make strong remarks, like the body waste remark. Dont you think about the backlash? Only when you make statements or do things with vested interests will there be setbacks. People know me. At the fag end of your previous tenure, you said Ramesh Chennithala was a good Leader of Opposition and that he should continue in the post. Whats your opinion of the incumbent? (Smiles). It isnt yet time for the election. Let the time come (laughs out loud). Elections are coming up. Naturally, the SFIO case against your daughter will come up during the campaign... Theres nothing in this matter, so nothing will happen. Those who raise it will face setbacks. It wont affect us. No investigation agency has found anything substantial in the allegation. Its true that my daughter was involved in running a company. Its also true that the company received remuneration for the services it offered. Tax for the amount received has also been paid. The rest are stories built on these facts. Those who go after such stories can dream about things, but nothing is going to happen. There are those who say the communism in Kerala that began in Pinarayi will end with Pinarayi. What do you have to say to them? These are mere pipe dreams of a few. Sometimes, they are unable to keep it within themselves and hence blurt out stuff. The party doesnt have any weaknesses. Itll move ahead without any issue.

No cherry-picking: India to go tough on Bangladesh trade
NEW DELHI: Bangladesh cannot cherry-pick the terms of engagement while taking Indias market access for granted, India government sources have said a day after prohibiting imports from Bangladesh through land routes. An official on the condition of anonymity said that while India remains open to dialogue (with Bangladesh), it expects a fair and reciprocal environment. India on Saturday imposed restrictions on imports of certain goods from its eastern neighbour Bangladesh. In a directive issued on Saturday by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the import of all kinds of ready-made garments from Bangladesh through land ports has been prohibited. These goods will only be allowed to be imported only through the seaports of Nhava Sheva and Kolkata. A wider range of goodsincluding fruit and fruit-flavoured carbonated drinks, processed food items, cotton and cotton yarn waste, plastic and PVC finished goods (excluding essential industrial inputs such as pigments, dyes, plasticisers, and granules), and wooden furniture will face more stringent port restrictions. These items will not be allowed entry through any Land Customs Stations (LCSs) or Integrated Check Posts (ICPs) in the northeastern states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. The restriction also extends to LCSs at Changrabandha and Fulbari in West Bengal. India had previously permitted export of Bangladesh goods through land routes -- Land Customs Stations (LCS) and Integrated Check Posts (ICP) -- and through seaports without undue restrictions. However, officials said Bangladesh continues to impose port restrictions on Indian exports, particularly at LCSs and ICPs bordering NE states despite the issue being raised in all relevant meetings for a long time now. The official mentioned above said that the restrictions have been put in place especially keeping in mind the economic development of the Northeast. The targeted list of items will be reviewed periodically to ensure that fair and equitable growth is facilitated in the respective northeastern states. Industrial growth in the Northeastern states suffer a triple jeopardy due to imposition of unreasonably high and economically unviable transit charges by Bangladesh, denying in practice, access for the Northeast to the Indian hinterland for its manufactured goods and sourcing inputs notwithstanding bilateral transit agreements, said another government official. Retaliation to restrictions On the restrictions imposed on import of ready-made garments, the official said the action was in retaliation to Bangladeshs move to impose port restrictions on export of Indian yarn through land ports. It is hoped that this measure will increase opportunity available to Indian Ready Made Garment manufacturers to boost production for both local consumption and export, said the official.
AGARTALA, May 18: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Sunday said he has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that some IAS officers have not been returning to the northeastern state after completion of their deputation period.

Complete city projects faster: Telangana Transport Minister to officials
HYDERABAD: Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar has directed officials to expedite land acquisition for ongoing development projects in the city. At a review meeting with GHMC officials, he stressed the need to fast-track works under the Hyderabad City Innovation and Transformative Infrastructure (HCITI) project and complete pending flyovers under the Strategic Road Development Programme (SRDP). At a review meeting on Saturday, the district in-charge minister instructed that the Falaknuma RoB be completed by July and the Shastripuram RoB by August.

India restricts entry of Bangladeshi goods via Northeast land ports amid rising trade tensions
NEW DELHI: India on Saturday decided to allow entry of ready-made garments from Bangladesh only through Kolkata and Nhava Sheva sea ports and barred imports of a range of consumer items through land transit posts in the northeast -- a move that is set to significantly hit Dhaka's trade with New Delhi. Besides ready-made garments (RMG), plastics, wooden furniture, carbonated drinks, processed food items, fruit flavoured drinks, cotton and cotton yard waste will not be allowed to enter India through land customs stations and check posts in Meghalaya, Assam, Tripura and Mizoram, and Phulbari and Changrabandha in West Bengal, according to a government notification. The new restrictions for Bangladeshi consumer goods are coming over five weeks after New Delhi ended a nearly five-year-old arrangement for trans-shipment of Bangladeshi export cargo to third countries via Indian airports and ports. The new restrictions have been imposed with immediate effect. Explainer: Why did India withdraw transshipment facility for Bangladesh and what are the implications? India's fresh restrictions on limiting access to Bangladeshi exports appears to be in response to Dhaka denying certain value added items from the Northeast to enter that country through the land transit points. The friction in trade ties between the two countries came amid increasing strain in the overall relations after deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled Dhaka in August last year in the face of a massive anti-government protest. The ready-made-garments and certain other Bangladeshi items now will only be allowed access through Kolkata and Nhava-Sheva sea ports. The notification on restrictions on Bangladeshi imports has been issued by Director General of Foreign Trade. Bangladesh is a major global exporter of readymade garments, and the value of its exports in the sector was estimated at USD 38 billion in 2023. Its annual RMG exports to India is estimated at around USD 700 million and 93 per cent of the RMG shipments enter India through land ports. There are 11 land transit points in northeast for trade between India and Bangladesh. Out of them, three are in Assam, two in Meghalaya and six in Tripura. India had previously permitted export of Bangladesh goods through all land trading points and seaports without undue restrictions. However, Bangladesh continued to impose port restrictions on Indian exports at Land Customs Stations (LCS) and Integrated Check Posts (ICP) bordering northeastern region, people familiar with the matter said. India had taken up the issue with Dhaka but there was no positive response. Further, yarn exports from India across land-ports have been stopped by Bangladesh with effect from April 13. The people cited above said Indian exports are subjected to rigorous inspection on entry, and Indian rice exports are not allowed through Hili and Benapole ICPs since April 15, in addition to existing restrictions. Industrial growth in the northeastern states suffered due to imposition of unreasonably high and economically unviable transit charges levied by Bangladesh, the people cited above said. Bangladesh's approach resulted in denying access to the northeast from Indian hinterland. Due to land-port restrictions by Bangladesh, the northeastern states are suffering from lack of access to Bangladesh market to sell locally manufactured goods, restricting the market access to primary agricultural goods only, the people said. Bangladesh, on the other hand, has free access to the entire northeast market, creating an unhealthy dependency and stymieing growth of manufacturing sector in the north-eastern states, they said. In order to promote 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and support local manufacture in the Northeastern states, it is understood that India has decided to impose port restrictions across all LCSs and ICPs in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram, they added. There has been a sharp downturn in India-Bangladesh relations after deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled Dhaka and took shelter in India in August last year in the face of a massive anti-government protest. The relations nosedived dramatically after the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus failed to contain attacks on minorities, especially Hindus, in that country.

Tech-savvy Telangana lags in birth, death digitisation
HYDERABAD: Despite being considered one of the top tech hubs in the country, Telangana has lagged behind in issuing digital birth certificates. According to the Civil Registration System (CRS) 2021 report, out of a total of 6,11,651 registered births, 2,34,425 deaths, and 6,051 stillbirths in the state, only 4,15,485 birth records, 1,26,098 death records and 4,062 stillbirth records had been digitised. The lack of digital birth certificates creates difficulties for citizens in accessing various services. The report also noted that birth and death registrations often did not occur within the stipulated 21-day period. Telangana, Bihar, Tripura, Goa, Delhi, Karnataka, Kerala, Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh fall into the category of registering more than 50% but less than 80% of births and deaths within the 21-day time frame, the report stated. This shortfall persists despite directions issued to all District Medical and Health Officers (District Registrars) and Municipal Commissioners/Municipal Health Officers (Urban Registrars), who are authorised to prosecute and compound offences. These officials were again instructed to exercise their powers under Section 23 of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, to improve registration compliance. However, the CRS report pointed out that Telangana did not impose any penalties under Section 23 of the Act and submitted a nil report to the Centre. The report further stated that several states, including Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, did not furnish complete information regarding birth and death certificates issued under Sections 12 and 17 of the Act. According to the CRS, Telangana cited Covid-19 as one of the major causes of under-reporting, along with a lack of sub-registrars and statistical staff in municipalities, and a high number of vacancies among panchayat secretaries. The number of registered births in Telangana also declined in 2021 compared to 2020. Nationally, the number of registered births decreased slightly from 242.2 lakhs in 2020 to 242.0 lakhs in 2021 a decline of about 0.1%. Most states and union territories saw a decrease in registered births in 2021, with the exception of Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and Puducherry. The report noted that 12 states and UTs Jharkhand, Karnataka, Assam, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Kerala, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu contributed significantly to the overall decline in registered births in 2021 compared to 2020.
