Assam: Two people are detained in Jorhat for operating an illicit clinic and posing as doctors.

Jorhat Police in Assam have arrested two individuals, Ashok Kumar Gogoi and Amar Jyoti Nath, for allegedly impersonating qualified doctors and illegally practicing medicine at a private clinic in the city for several years. Nicknamed the “Munna Bhai duo” by locals, the accused reportedly ran the unlicensed clinic on Old Abart Bhawan Road, with one posing as a homeopathy and later allopathic practitioner, and the other falsely claiming to be an MBBS specialist. The fraud was uncovered after medical representatives flagged suspicious prescriptions, leading to a formal complaint and subsequent investigation. Both men have been charged with impersonation and unauthorized medical practice, while authorities continue to probe the extent of their activities and any potential harm to patients.

Assam: A novel bridge in Sivasagar is the subject of new controversy.

The nearly century-old British-era vertical-lift bridge over the Dikhow River in Sivasagar, Assam, has sparked a heated debate over its future. While some locals and officials call for its demolition due to severe structural deterioration and safety concerns, others—including heritage advocates and political leaders—demand its restoration, citing its unique engineering, historical significance, and potential as a tourist attraction. Built between 1925 and 1935, the bridge once played a vital role in regional transport and commerce, but decades of use have left it badly corroded and inoperative. As the Assam government weighs its options, pressure groups on both sides are intensifying their campaigns, making the bridge a focal point in discussions about heritage conservation versus modernization.

A Context-Free Headline: The BBC’s Bangladesh Report Leaves More Unanswered Questions.

On July 9, 2025, the BBC published an investigative report alleging that Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina authorized the use of lethal force, based on an 18-second leaked audio clip. While the BBC claims the audio was forensically verified and unedited, the report’s reliance on a single, context-free excerpt raises questions about its journalistic rigor. The article provides no details about the conversation’s participants, circumstances, or the broader context of the Prime Minister’s remarks. Despite the audio’s verification, the absence of a full recording and the lack of clear sourcing undermine transparency. The timing of the report—amid economic turmoil and rising unrest in Bangladesh—further suggests possible strategic motivations behind its release. Ultimately, the report reiterates longstanding allegations without offering new or comprehensive evidence, highlighting the need for responsible journalism that prioritizes context, accuracy, and accountability over sensationalism.

Bulldozers will come after courteous eviction notices: CM of Assam

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has defended his government’s ongoing eviction drives, describing the issuance of eviction notices as “the most humane” phase of the process. Speaking at the inauguration of a new BJP district office in Chirang on July 9, Sarma asserted that the majority of the local population supported the evictions in Dhubri district, and warned that authorities would use machinery to clear encroachments if notices were ignored. Responding to criticism from the All Assam Minority Students’ Union (AAMSU), Sarma insisted that legal procedures were followed and cautioned against any militant response to the evictions. He further argued that the cleared land would enable industrial development and benefit local communities, even as the drive sparked public backlash and court scrutiny over its impact on displaced families.
