Meghalayan authorities are looking into phoney companies in a Rs 500 crore GST fraud case: Minister.

The Meghalaya government has launched a probe into a suspected Rs 500-crore GST fraud linked to coke plants, with Taxation Minister Abu Taher Mondal confirming coordinated action with the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). Fake firms are alleged to have generated bogus Input Tax Credit (ITC) through fake invoices, passing it on to entities outside the state. Though suspicions have been raised against coke units in Meghalaya, Mondal clarified that no specific plants have yet been named by the DGGI. Preliminary findings suggest the fraudulent billing may be tied more to coal purchases than coke sales, reflecting the challenges faced since the 2014 coal mining ban, which forces coke plants to rely on auctioned and imported coal.

The government of Manipur has instructed forest officials to stay vigilant in order to monitor and prevent poppy cultivation.

As the poppy cultivation season begins, the Manipur government has issued a directive to forest officials to remain on high alert and prevent the illegal farming of the plant.

The directive was issued ahead of the onset of the poppy seed sowing and cultivation in the state.

“As the season (September-April) for poppy seed sowing and cultivation is approaching, all territorial DFOs are directed to keep a vigil in their respective jurisdiction on such possible cultivation by anti-social elements which not only harm the ecology of the area but also destroy the health of the society,” the order issued by Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Anurag Bajpai, on September 8 read.

The notification further underlined that poppy cultivation on forest land violates provisions of the NDPS Act, 1985, the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam, 1980, and the Indian Forest Act, 1927.

Forest officials have been instructed to ramp up regular patrols, effectively deploy personnel, and use drone surveillance in coordination with local police.

The directive also mandates the immediate destruction of any identified poppy cultivation areas. This must be done according to standard operating procedures, with support from the district administration, police, Narcotics and Affairs of Borders (NAB), and paramilitary forces.

Nagaland is expected to experience rainfall until September 14.

“Nagaland will experience thunder, lightning, and light to moderate rainfall at a few places until September 14, 2025. However, districts including Chumoukedima, Kiphire, Kohima, Mokokchung, Phek, Shamator, Tuensang, Wokha, and Zunheboto are likely to receive heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms.

Insurgent factions in Manipur have declared a complete shutdown on September 13 in opposition to Prime Minister Modi’s visit.

“The Coordination Committee (CorCom), an umbrella body of six insurgent groups in Manipur, has declared a total shutdown on September 13, 2025, to boycott Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state. The shutdown will commence at 1:00 AM on September 13 and continue until the Prime Minister’s departure, with essential services such as emergency, medical, media, and religious functions exempted. CorCom accused the Indian government of attempting to incite ethnic violence and of diminishing Manipur’s political status since its annexation in 1949. The groups urged all ethnic communities to stay vigilant and promote peaceful coexistence while condemning the Indian government’s role in the 2023 communal conflict in Manipur. CorCom consists of six banned insurgent outfits advocating for Manipur’s pre-merger status restoration and secession from India.”

Mizoram’s first Rajdhani: Sairang-Delhi route will be inaugurated by PM Modi with a switch from diesel to electric locomotives.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate Mizoram’s first Rajdhani Express on September 13, 2025, connecting the Sairang station near Aizawl to Delhi’s Anand Vihar station. The train will cover a distance of 2,510 kilometers in approximately 43 hours and 25 minutes, with an average speed of 57.81 km/h. The weekly service is scheduled to commence from September 19, stopping at 21 stations including major halts like Guwahati, New Cooch Behar, New Jalpaiguri, Patna, and Kanpur.

A diesel locomotive will haul the train between Bairabi and Guwahati due to non-electrification of the Sairang-Bairabi line, and an electric locomotive will take over from Guwahati to Anand Vihar. Alongside the Rajdhani Express, PM Modi will also flag off a daily express train between Sairang and Guwahati and a tri-weekly service connecting Sairang to Kolkata.

The completion of the Bairabi-Sairang broad-gauge railway line, conceived in 1999 and converted from meter gauge in 2016, is a significant engineering accomplishment. It overcame challenges like difficult terrain, short working seasons, and frequent landslides to bring Mizoram’s capital Aizawl onto India’s national railway map.”
