“Assam is set to host Northeast India’s first-ever men’s Test match as India faces South Africa in the second Test of their series from November 22 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed that play will run from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with the traditional lunch and tea schedule reversed to account for the region’s shorter winter daylight hours. The first session will run from 9:00 to 11:00 AM, followed by tea, and then the second session from 11:20 AM to 1:20 PM, after which lunch will be served.

The first Albino Checkered Keelback snake is recorded by the Assam Zoo staff.

“In a remarkable wildlife breakthrough, the Assam State Zoo team has documented the first-ever record of albinism in the Checkered Keelback (Fowlea piscator) in Assam. The juvenile albino, measuring 290 mm, was found near the zoo in Guwahati and identified through detailed examination of its physical features and scalation. The snake exhibited complete hypopigmentation, resulting in a pale yellowish body and red eyes, lacking the species’ typical dark checkered pattern. After careful study, the non-venomous snake was released into a protected forest habitat within three days. The finding was formally published in the international journal ‘Reptiles & Amphibians’, marking a significant milestone for Assam’s wildlife research and conservation. This discovery highlights the rarity of albinism in wild snakes and provides valuable insights for ongoing studies on rare genetic traits in Indian wildlife.”​
