 No Objection Certificate (NOC) permission for a railway survey in the district has been denied by the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC) in Meghalaya

The Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC) in Meghalaya has denied granting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for a proposed railway survey in the district. Chief Executive Member Thombor Shiwat clarified that no application for the survey has been received.

The decision follows strong opposition from various pressure groups demanding the suspension of the Chaparmukh-Jowai railway project until adequate immigration control measures are in place. The 180-km railway line, initiated by the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), aims to enhance connectivity between Assam and Meghalaya.

VPP MDC Deivipaya T Tongper raised questions about the project’s status, emphasizing concerns over unregulated migration. Responding to the mounting pressure, the JHADC has maintained its refusal to grant the NOC until assurances on immigration control are established.

When West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee spoke at Oxford University’s Kellogg College in the UK, she was met with a great deal of protest and disturbance.

During her speech at Oxford University’s Kellogg College, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee faced intense protests led by the Student’s Federation of India (SFI-UK). The event, meant to discuss West Bengal’s development and investment opportunities, quickly turned contentious as Banerjee was interrupted with pointed questions, particularly about the controversial rape and murder case in Kolkata. The tension escalated when the topic shifted to the treatment of Hindus in Bengal, leading to chants of “go back” from some in the audience. In an attempt to diffuse the situation, Banerjee displayed an image from the 1990s showing her with a bandaged head, recounting an assassination attempt. Despite her efforts, the protests continued. SFI-UK later took responsibility, condemning Banerjee as an “anti-democratic leader” and criticizing the college for hosting her.
