Tribes, tea tribes, Morans, and Motoks are excluded from the two-child rule, according to the Assam Cabinet.

“The Assam government on Thursday decided to exempt tribals, tea tribes, Morans, and Motoks from the two-child norm for government jobs. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the decision was taken to keep these communities outside population control measures and safeguard them from the risk of extinction. ‘The cabinet decided to exempt members of the tea tribes, Morans, Motok and Scheduled Tribes from the provision of restricting the number of children to two under the population policy. If we stick to the policy, these populations will lose their distinct identities and gradually become extinct in the next 50 years,’ he said.

The Moran community’s population is currently estimated at around 1 lakh. Social scientists advised relaxing the two-child norm for these micro-communities, or else they may not survive. The two-child policy, which came into effect in January 2021 under the Assam Public Services Rules, 2019, will continue to apply to other communities.

This move aims to preserve the cultural identities and survival of vulnerable indigenous groups while balancing population control for the wider population.”​

Hours after a possible track explosion in Kokrajhar, train services were resumed in Assam.

Train operations under the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) were temporarily halted early Thursday, October 23, following a suspected explosion on the tracks between Salakati and Kokrajhar stations in Assam’s Kokrajhar district.
