Due to delays, the DoNER Ministry cancels four Rs 20 cr infrastructure projects in Assam.

The Ministry of DoNER has canceled four long-delayed infrastructure projects in Assam worth nearly ₹20 crore, citing lack of progress and poor execution. The state has been ordered to refund ₹7.68 crore to the Centre, with Dima Hasao district the worst hit as two crucial drinking water schemes were shelved. Projects scrapped include the Haflong Water Supply Scheme, the Greater Mahur Town Water Supply Scheme, the Demow-Dehing Road project, and the NH-31 to Kashimpur Suplekuchi road project. Officials said despite repeated extensions and fund releases, the initiatives showed negligible progress, reflecting accountability issues that continue to stall development in backward districts. Ironically, even as residents face cancellation of essential projects, a public hearing for a proposed coal mining project in Dima Hasao has been scheduled on September 23 by the Assam Pollution Control Board.

Since 2020, 460 foreigners have been arrested in Mizoram, including 439 Myanmarese nationals.

Mizoram police have arrested at least 460 foreign nationals, including 439 from Myanmar, over the past five years for offences ranging from drug and arms trafficking to visa violations and child sexual abuse, official data reveals. Arrests rose sharply after Myanmar’s 2021 coup, peaking at 124 in 2022. Drug-related crimes accounted for the majority, with 185 Myanmarese booked for narcotics smuggling.

Between 2020 and May 2025, police also seized narcotics worth more than ₹770 crore, including ₹211.63 crore in 2024 and ₹106.56 crore in just the first five months of 2025. Authorities warn that cross-border smuggling, primarily from Myanmar, remains a pressing security and law-and-order challenge for the state.

Just a small portion of the 70 files pertaining to the promotions of Bangladesh Army commanders that Chief Adviser Yunus’ office approved.

Of the 70 promotion files involving senior Bangladesh Army officers, only a handful were cleared last week by Chief Adviser Mohammad Yunus’s office, sources confirmed. Among the most significant outcomes was the abrupt retirement of Maj Gen Moin Khan, the influential Savar-based GOC of the 9th Infantry Division and a close confidant of Army chief Gen Waker-uz-Zaman. His removal, effective August 21, coincided with Zaman’s week-long visit to China.

At the same time, Brig Gens Nazim Ud Daula and Sajjad were elevated to the rank of Major General, with Nazim tipped to take over as GOC 11th Infantry Division in Bogura. Maj Gen S M Asadul Haque has been shifted from Bogura to Savar, replacing Moin Khan as GOC of the crucial 9th Infantry Division. Meanwhile, the proposed transfer of Maj Gen Abu Mohammad Sarwar Farid, current DG of NSI, to Ghatail’s 19th Infantry Division remains pending.

Sources noted that Maj Gen Nazim Ud Daula, now rising rapidly within the force, played a key operational role during the student-led uprising that toppled Sheikh Hasina’s government and earlier was involved in pressuring ex-Chief Justice S K Sinha to leave the country.

Syeda Hameed, an activist, is accused by the chief minister of Assam of enabling Bangladeshi infiltrators.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday lashed out at rights activist and former Planning Commission member Syeda Hameed for her remark that “Bangladeshis can live here,” calling it an attempt to legitimise illegal infiltrators. In a post on X, Sarma alleged that such statements were aimed at “realising Jinnah’s dream of making Assam a part of Pakistan.” He warned that Assamese identity was under threat due to such tacit support and vowed, “We will fight till the last drop of our blood to save our State and our identity.”

The Chief Minister further asserted that “Bangladeshis are not welcome in Assam,” adding that sympathisers of infiltrators could accommodate them in their “own backyards.” Sarma also highlighted findings of a state commission report, which revealed over 15,288 bighas of Vaishnavite Satra land across Assam had been encroached upon, with the highest encroachment recorded in Barpeta district.
