During ongoing geo-tagging work under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in Borjalenga, Ashish Raha became the target of politically motivated false allegations reportedly initiated by Jitendra Shuklabaidya, husband of the elected Ward No. 7 member of the 45 No. Borjalenga Gaon Panchayat.

Assam will declare a 3% job reserve and provide workers access to tea garden land.

“Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a landmark bill to be introduced in the Legislative Assembly on November 25, which will transfer land ownership from tea garden owners to workers who have lived on these estates for generations. Speaking at the Assam Tea Tribes Students Association conference, Sarma declared the government’s commitment to securing land rights for tea garden communities, many of whom are descendants of labourers brought to Assam over two centuries ago. In addition to land redistribution, the government will implement a 3% reservation quota for tea garden youth in Assam Civil Service and Assam Police Service, along with the creation of magistrate and Deputy Superintendent of Police posts specifically in tea garden areas.

Sarma reaffirmed that securing land rights is essential for the socio-economic security of tea garden workers and is a priority in his tenure. The tea tribes community, integral to Assam’s cultural and economic fabric for two centuries, stands to gain enhanced opportunities for advancement through these measures, moving closer to inclusion in the mainstream economy.”

Tripura cracking down on drugs: 90,000 bottles of prohibited syrup and 896 kg of ganja are confiscated.

“Tripura’s ruling BJP-led government has intensified anti-drug operations in the last ten days, which led to the recovery of contraband items, including cannabis, heroin, and yaba tablets, across the state recently, Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha said on Saturday. As part of the operation, the police and intelligence agencies seized 896 kilograms of ganja, 90,617 bottles of cough syrup, 180 yaba tablets, and 27.78 grams of heroin from various locations. His remarks came two days after a wagon-load of narcotics was recovered from a goods train at Jirania in West Tripura. In total, 15 NDPS cases were registered, and 16 people were arrested. Saha reaffirmed the government’s zero-tolerance policy, pledging to gift ‘a drug-free future to the youths.’ The seized contraband, estimated at over ₹134 crore, underscores growing smuggling activity through Tripura’s borders with Bangladesh and other northeastern states.”​

Amit Shah: While Assam has reduced infiltration, Bengal is giving illegal immigrants the “red carpet.”

Amit Shah asserted that infiltration has been successfully halted in BJP-ruled Assam, but it continues unabated in West Bengal due to political patronage, which he described as a “red carpet welcome” for illegal immigrants. Addressing a media conclave in Patna, Shah criticized the West Bengal government for allegedly facilitating the entry of infiltrators, contrasting it with Assam’s situation where border security measures have been effective. He emphasized that dense forests, rivers, and topographical challenges make fencing and vigilance difficult along the Bangladesh border, which he said hampers security efforts.​

Shah also linked the rise in the Muslim population in border states to infiltration, citing data from the 2011 Census. He claimed that the Muslim population in Assam increased by 29.6% in ten years, which he argued could not happen without infiltration, especially in districts where growth rates have reached up to 70%. He further accused political parties of treating infiltrators as a “vote bank,” and warned that continued illegal immigration would convert India into a “Dharamshala” for infiltrators.​​

Additionally, Shah reiterated the Centre’s “Detect, Delete, and Deport” policy aimed at eliminating infiltrators from the voter lists and deporting them. He criticized opposition parties for objecting to electoral roll revisions and underscored the importance of border security, stating that geographical challenges, like floods and dense forests, complicate fencing and patrols along the Bangladesh border.​

The controversy over infiltration remains a key political issue, especially ahead of upcoming elections in West Bengal, where Shah called on voters to oust Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to ensure a “drive out every infiltrator” campaign is successful.​

This summary integrates information from recent web sources, providing a detailed overview of Amit Shah’s claims and the ongoing political debate around infiltration and border security.

Unauthorised stores close to Sonapur’s Zubeen Garg Crematorium are targeted by the NHAI.

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has initiated an eviction drive against unauthorised shops operating near the cremation site of noted singer Zubeen Garg at Sonapur, along NH-27. On October 17, several local establishments, including Lakhi Hotel, received six-day eviction notices for allegedly encroaching on government highway land.

The notices, supervised by Biswa Jyoti Lahkar, Highway Administrator and Project Director of NHAI PIU-Guwahati, cited safety risks due to shops being too close to the busy road. Shop owners have been asked to submit representations to the NHAI Guwahati office before enforcement begins.

Officials clarified that the action is in line with the National Highway (Land and Traffic) Act, 2002, aimed at maintaining road safety and orderly use of highway land. The operation comes amid increased public movement around the site, now regarded as a cultural and emotional landmark. Authorities assured that clearance will be done systematically, balancing safety measures and local sentiments.
