Meghalaya imposes night curfew along Bangladesh border to deter infiltration.

The East Khasi Hills district administration in Meghalaya has imposed a night curfew from 8 pm to 6 am within a one-kilometre radius of the India-Bangladesh border’s ‘Zero Line’ for two months. This measure is taken under Section 163 of the BNSS to prevent infiltration by illegal migrants, militants, and smugglers. The curfew prohibits any movement attempting to cross the border illegally, unlawful assembly of five or more persons, carrying weapons, and smuggling of cattle and contraband goods. The administration cited porous stretches of the border vulnerable to illegal entries and warned that such infiltrations could disturb peace and security in the district. The curfew aims to stabilize the sensitive border region amid ongoing security concerns.

To safeguard tribal belt lands, the Assam government suggests creating district land tribunals.

The Assam government on November 25 introduced The Assam District Land Tribunal Bill, 2025, proposing the establishment of independent district-level tribunals to protect land rights in tribal belts and blocks, fulfilling Clause 6 of the Assam Accord. The bill aims to create specialised quasi-judicial bodies with powers equivalent to civil courts to adjudicate cases of land alienation and encroachment in protected areas, replacing the existing appeal system under revenue officials. Eleven tribunals will be set up, utilising existing revenue infrastructure, and each will be chaired by a retired district or additional district judge. Appeals against tribunal decisions can be made to the Gauhati High Court. This move signifies the government’s commitment to strengthening land governance, ensuring faster dispute resolution, and protecting the culture, identity, and land rights of the Assamese people, particularly in tribal regions. The bill also seeks to repeal Section 169 of the Assam Land & Revenue Regulation, 1886, and addresses delays and accountability issues in the current system. This step is seen as a major policy implementation under the Assam Accord and an effort to provide inclusive and equitable land governance.​

Beijing denies claims made by an Arunachal woman who was humiliated at Shanghai Airport.

Prema Wangjom Thongdok, an Indian citizen from Arunachal Pradesh residing in the United Kingdom, was traveling from London to Japan with a layover at Shanghai Pudong Airport on November 21, 2025. Upon arrival, Chinese immigration officials singled her out, declared her Indian passport invalid because it listed Arunachal Pradesh as her birthplace, and repeatedly mocked her by stating that Arunachal Pradesh is part of China. Officials allegedly told her to apply for a Chinese passport and refused to let her proceed with her onward travel to Japan. The ordeal lasted nearly 18 hours, during which she was held in the transit area, denied proper assistance, and unable to contact her family or get clear information. Eventually, Indian diplomatic officials arrived at the airport, provided her food, intervened with Chinese authorities, and helped secure her release. She described the experience as humiliating and a direct insult to India’s sovereignty. China dismissed the allegations, insisting its checks were lawful and fair, reasserting its claim over Arunachal Pradesh as “Zangnan.” Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu condemned the incident as “unacceptable” and “appalling,” affirming Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of India.​

After students were hurt in a drunk driving event, NEHU tightened campus traffic regulations.

North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) has announced strict traffic safety measures on its campus, capping vehicle speed at 30 kmph and making helmets compulsory for both two-wheeler riders and cyclists.

The decision follows a recent accident in which two first-semester students were severely injured after a security guard—allegedly under the influence of alcohol—rammed an old vehicle into them near the main gate.

CCTV footage of the incident sparked outrage among students and raised questions about inadequate traffic regulation inside the campus.

University authorities said the new rules are part of a “zero-tolerance” response to reckless driving and unsafe practices, adding that violations will attract strict disciplinary action.

Fresh signages have already been installed across the campus to remind commuters of the speed limit and protective gear requirements.

The injured students are currently recovering in a city hospital and are reported to be stable.

12 people are detained in four states as a result of the Northeast narco crackdown, which brings in Rs 100 crore.

“Security and enforcement agencies in the Northeast have intensified operations against drug trafficking, seizing narcotics valued at nearly Rs. 100 crore and arresting 12 suspects, including four Myanmar nationals. Coordinated raids involving Assam Rifles, Border Security Force, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, state Excise and police forces were conducted across Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur, and Assam. Seized drugs included methamphetamine tablets (locally known as Yaba), heroin, cocaine, ganja, and foreign-origin cigarettes. A major bust on November 17 arrested two men with 800 grams of high-purity cocaine in Agartala, linked to an international syndicate with Pakistan connections. Methamphetamine and heroin worth Rs. 41.64 crore were recently seized by Mizoram Police, leading to arrests of suspects smuggling drugs from Myanmar’s Chin state, a key narcotics hub. Despite porous borders, coordinated agency efforts continue to disrupt trafficking networks involving insurgent and criminal groups, as part of a region-wide crackdown with ongoing intensified vigilance planned through December.”

only if Paresh Barua participates in peace negotiations with ULFA(I): CM of Assam

“Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reiterated that peace negotiations with the proscribed ULFA(I) will progress only when its chief, Paresh Baruah, personally joins the dialogue process. This came shortly after the surrender of ULFA(I)’s self-styled Major General Arunoday Dahotia, a key military aide of Baruah, along with his personal security officer near the Indo-Myanmar border. Despite their surrender, Sarma clarified that discussions will only be meaningful if conducted directly with Paresh Baruah and not with other ULFA(I) members. He dismissed speculation about the surrendered leaders being taken to New Delhi for political talks, stating they might stay in Tinsukia or Guwahati to meet officials but no further political engagements are planned. Baruah has so far refused to join dialogue, maintaining core demands which remain unresolved.”​
