Due to Lapangap violence that killed a Karbi man, three people were arrested in Meghalaya.

Three youths were arrested by Meghalaya Police for their involvement in the October 9, 2025, violence at Lapangap village, West Jaintia Hills district, which led to the death of Orivel Timung, a 45-year-old Karbi man from Tahpat village, Assam’s West Karbi Anglong district. The arrested individuals are Pyrchang Dakhar from Lapangap, Everyshine Tyngkan from Saba, and Deibormi Bhoi Lamare from Barato-B. The clash erupted over disputed paddy fields between villagers from Meghalaya and Assam during a harvest, triggering violence despite police presence aimed at maintaining peace. Following the incident, a curfew was imposed in the border area to prevent further escalation, and peace meetings were conducted by officials from both states to restore calm. The long-standing territorial dispute between Meghalaya and Assam continues to challenge peace efforts in this sensitive border area. Investigation is ongoing to hold all responsible parties accountable.

A bill to establish a “Satra Preservation and Development Commission” is introduced by Assam.

The Assam government has introduced the Assam Satra Preservation and Development Commission Bill, 2025, aiming to protect and manage the state’s Vaishnavite monasteries known as ‘satras’. The Bill proposes to establish a specialised quasi-judicial body endowed with civil court powers to preserve, regulate, and manage satras and their lands. The commission will address encroachment issues, fragmented land records, and weak institutional coordination that currently hinder the lawful protection and sustainable management of these religious and cultural institutions.

The commission will hear appeals against district commissioners’ orders, conduct surveys, and initiate suo motu inquiries on encroachment cases, while recommending conservation of heritage structures and artefacts. Officials will be appointed on deputation to maintain operational efficiency without creating a permanent administrative burden. The Bill also allows the state government to issue policy directions, assign additional responsibilities, and protect actions taken in good faith.

This legislation intends to establish a coherent and legally robust framework to safeguard Assam’s Vaishnavite heritage, prevent misuse of satra lands, and promote culturally sensitive development in the public interest. It also envisions fostering heritage tourism, digital documentation, dispute resolution, and community participation to ensure sustainable preservation and growth of these critical cultural institutions.​

The Awami League party has announced national demonstrations through November 30 in Bangladesh.

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to death on November 17, 2025, by the International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh (ICT-BD) for crimes against humanity. The verdict was delivered in absentia, convicting her for ordering and enabling a brutal crackdown on a student-led uprising in July–August 2024, which led to around 1,400 deaths and thousands of injuries. The charges include the use of live ammunition, helicopter and drone attacks on largely unarmed protesters, and failing to prevent or punish widespread abuses by security forces. Hasina, currently living in exile in India, has rejected the verdict, calling it politically motivated and part of a conspiracy by the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus to eliminate her political influence. The Awami League, Hasina’s party, has denounced the tribunal verdict as illegal and farcical and announced nationwide agitations and resistance marches lasting until November 30, 2025. This political upheaval follows Hasina’s government’s fall after the 2024 student uprising and Yunus’s appointment as interim chief adviser at the protesters’ request.​
