Tura Medical College PPP returns to normal life after protesting against the GHADC salary structure in Meghalaya.

Widespread disruption hit the Garo Hills on Thursday as a two-day Non-Cooperation Movement began at dawn, defying district orders and a Meghalaya High Court ban on such protests. Called by several pressure groups opposing the GHADC salary system and the PPP plan for Tura Medical College, the agitation brought towns like Chibinang to a standstill. Reports of tyre burning in Tura and Dobasipara surfaced early, even as the district administration invoked Section 163 of the BNSS, 2023, to prohibit gatherings and blockades. District officials warned of strict legal action, while police maintained a heavy presence to prevent escalation. The protest is set to continue until Friday evening.

The Silchar-Imphal route is shut off by a landslide, leaving hundreds of cars stuck.

A massive landslide on October 12 near Jujang Hill in Lakhipur, Cachar district, Assam, blocked National Highway 37, halting traffic between Silchar and Imphal.

Excavators deployed by NHIDCL are clearing the block, but the large volume of debris has slowed progress. The disruption has affected both passenger movement and the transport of essential supplies. Authorities from NHAI, local police, and administration are working together to restore connectivity and have advised motorists to avoid the route until the road is reopened

To guarantee accuracy and inclusion, the Election Commission intends to implement the revised voter list throughout India in phases.

The Election Commission of India is set to conduct a phased special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, starting with states holding assembly elections in 2026, including Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. The exercise aims to update voter lists by adding eligible voters, removing duplicates, and verifying birthplaces to exclude illegal foreign migrants. States with ongoing local body elections are excluded to avoid overburdening poll machinery. Bihar has completed its revision with over 7.42 crore names published. The move strengthens electoral integrity ahead of upcoming polls, with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar confirming final rollout plans will be decided soon.
