After more than 18 kg of opium was found, two Assamese were detained in Manipur.

Two persons from Assam’s Kamrup district were arrested on November 14, 2025, in Manipur’s Senapati district for possession of over 18 kg of opium, seized from a truck intercepted at the Maram Police Station check post. The seizure was made by joint teams of state police and CRPF following a tip-off, in the presence of a magistrate and independent witnesses. A case has been registered, and authorities emphasized a strict zero-tolerance policy on drug trafficking. The arrests and crackdown are part of ongoing security operations amid heightened ethnic violence in the region, with President’s rule in place since February 2025 after the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh. More than 260 people have died in conflicts between Meitei and Kuki-Zo groups since May 2023.

Islamism’s ascent in Bangladesh

In November 2025, the interim government of Bangladesh led by Dr. Muhammad Yunus scrapped its plan to recruit music and physical education teachers for government primary schools after fierce opposition from Islamist groups. Music had been part of the curriculum since Bangladesh’s independence but was labeled “un-Islamic” by groups like Jamaat-e-Islami and Hefazat-e-Islam. These groups demanded religious teachers instead, arguing music and dance were detrimental to children’s character.

The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education amended recruitment rules, removing the newly created posts for music and physical education teachers. Officials cited administrative and budgetary challenges but many see the decision as a capitulation to hardline Islamist pressure. The reversal triggered protests by students, cultural activists, and educators, who view it as a blow to Bangladesh’s secular and creative traditions. Universities including Dhaka University and Jagannath University witnessed demonstrations demanding reinstatement of the teaching positions.

This move reflects the growing influence of Islamic fundamentalism in Bangladesh under the Yunus-led administration, signaling a shift away from the country’s historically pluralistic and secular cultural identity.​

Explosives from a terror module in Faridabad detonate near the Nowgam Police Station in Srinagar, leaving nine people dead and dozens injured.

A massive explosion tore through the Nowgam Police Station in Srinagar late on November 14, 2025, killing at least nine people and injuring over 25. The blast occurred during the extraction of samples from a large cache of ammonium nitrate-based explosives seized from a terror module linked to the Faridabad case. Eyewitnesses and CCTV footage showed the explosion ripping through the building, with flames and thick smoke engulfing the area. Officials warned that casualties may rise as some injured are in critical condition and others remain missing.

Investigators are exploring two possible triggers: accidental ignition of explosives during sealing in the presence of a magistrate, or a terror attack triggered by a seized car inside the compound that may have been rigged with an IED. The PAFF, a shadow group linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, claimed responsibility, but authorities are verifying this. Rescue operations are ongoing, with security forces sealing off and sweeping the area. The explosives cache was originally recovered from the rented home of Dr. Muzzamil Shakeel Ganaie, one of eight arrested in connection with the terror module. Following the blast, security agencies heightened security and initiated a detailed investigation.

The incident underscores the dangers faced by personnel handling volatile explosives amid heightened counter-terrorism efforts after the recent Red Fort car blast in Delhi.​
