A landslip warning has been issued for the Shillong-Dawki route in Meghalaya due to the continuous rains.

Authorities in Meghalaya have issued a travel advisory after continuous rainfall rendered a stretch of the Shillong-Dawki road between Km 24+00 and Km 37+00 highly vulnerable to landslides. Commuters are urged to avoid non-essential travel as weather conditions remain severe across the state.

Additionally, heavy overnight rain has led to waterlogging and slow-moving traffic along National Highway-6, particularly in the 9th Mile, 12th Mile, and Jorabat areas. Ri Bhoi Police are actively clearing debris, including uprooted trees, to restore traffic flow. The public is advised to stay alert and follow official updates.

Mizoram and Tripura Police look into government building damage close to the disputed border.

Authorities in Tripura and Mizoram are conducting parallel probes after unidentified individuals severely damaged an under-construction eco-tourism facility in Phuldungsei village, near the inter-state border. The Tripura Forest Department had been developing the site when the attack occurred late Tuesday night.
While officials confirm the border remains peaceful, Mizoram sources suggest explosives may have been used, intensifying concerns. Security forces have been deployed on both sides to prevent escalation. Given the history of disputed areas along the 109-km border, local civil society groups have previously objected to Tripura-led infrastructure projects. Investigations continue, with officials working to maintain stability and identify those responsible.

Why Dhaka is taking so long to announce ambassadors who would be replacing those who were removed from Yangon.

Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry is grappling with internal instability following the abrupt recall of Ambassador Mohammad Monowar Hossain from Myanmar. The move, reportedly linked to Myanmar’s concerns over Dhaka’s engagement with the Arakan Army, comes amid broader diplomatic tensions.
Additionally, Military Attache Brigadier General Mohammad Aftab Hossain was declared persona non grata by Myanmar’s military government, further straining relations. The Yunus-led interim regime has yet to provide a clear rationale for these diplomatic shifts, fueling speculation of discord within Bangladesh’s foreign policy apparatus.
Amid concerns over the proposed humanitarian corridor and its implications for national sovereignty, military leadership has voiced strong opposition, adding to the uncertainty surrounding Dhaka’s diplomatic strategy in the region.

The Airport Authority of India has started the process of reviving Kailashahar Airport in Tripura.

The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has begun efforts to revive Kailashahar Airport in Tripura’s Unakoti district, which has remained non-operational for 32 years. AAI Northeast Regional Executive Director M Raju Krishore, accompanied by MBB Airport (Agartala) Director K C Meena, recently inspected the site following a request from the state government.
The airport, built in 1950, played a strategic role in the 1971 India-Pakistan war but now requires significant upgrades. AAI has proposed acquiring either 75 acres or 205 acres to expand its 1000-meter runway, which is currently inadequate for ATR aircraft operations. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had pledged to restore the airport during its election campaign, raising hopes for improved connectivity, economic growth, and tourism in North Tripura and Assam.
The inspection has reignited local interest, with Congress MLA Birajit Sinha among those advocating for its revival. Residents of North Tripura and Assam’s Cachar district eagerly anticipate enhanced regional air travel opportunities.

Manipur’s tensions increase as demonstrators and security personnel battle.

“Tensions escalated in Imphal as protesters clashed with security forces near Raj Bhavan over the alleged erasure of ‘Manipur’ from a state transport bus.
