After a six-day pause, truck traffic on a major Mizoram route has resumed.

Traffic resumed on a key stretch of National Highway-306 in Mizoram on Wednesday after six days of disruption due to emergency repairs led by the Mizoram Tipper Association (MTA). The Sairang-Kawnpui section had become impassable following heavy rains, causing severe shortages of fuel and essential supplies across the state. The MTA, citing delayed official response, completed repairs by Tuesday evening, allowing trucks—especially those carrying fuel and LPG—to move again. Authorities expect supply of essentials to normalize soon, as the highway is Mizoram’s main connection to the rest of the country.

Tripura CM signals off new ambulances and introduces a vehicle tracking system.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Wednesday launched the Vehicle Location and Tracking System (VLTS), a new initiative aimed at enhancing road safety and emergency response in the state. The VLTS enables real-time monitoring of public transport vehicles like buses and taxis from a centralized control room, and features a panic button for passengers to alert authorities in emergencies. At the event in Agartala, the Chief Minister also flagged off 16 new ambulances equipped with basic life support systems, which will be used by the Police and Fire & Emergency Services Department to provide faster and safer transport for accident victims. Additionally, the state has increased the financial reward for Good Samaritans assisting accident victims from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 25,000, further encouraging public assistance in emergencies.

Teachers in government schools in Tripura can now use location-based electronic attendance.

The Tripura government has launched a location-based e-attendance system for teachers in government schools, requiring around 25,000 teachers across 4,912 schools to share their live location upon arrival. Introduced in June, this initiative ensures teachers mark their attendance only after physically entering school premises, with data uploaded in real time to a digital platform accessible by top education officials. While the system currently tracks only arrival times, it has already improved oversight and accountability, leading to better academic performance in several schools. To further enhance compliance, inter-district committees conduct surprise inspections, submitting their findings for necessary action. Officials view the system as a significant step toward boosting teacher presence and the overall quality of education in Tripura.

Meghalaya: Street vendors demonstrate against the eviction campaign in Shillong, calling for a just relocation procedure.

Street vendors and hawkers in Shillong’s Khyndailad area staged a protest on Monday morning against an eviction drive by the Shillong Municipal Board (SMB), refusing to vacate until relocation issues are addressed by the Provisional Town Vending Committee (PTVC). The eviction followed a June 21 government notification that designated the upper floor of the MUDA parking lot as a vending zone and declared the rest of Khyndailad a no-vending zone. Supported by the Meghalaya and Greater Shillong Progressive Hawkers and Street Vendors Association (MGSPHSVA), the vendors criticized flaws in the relocation process, including the failure of a digital survey and the issuance of vending licenses to shop owners instead of genuine hawkers. The MGSPHSVA demanded transparency and a participatory approach to redesign the hawkers’ space, while activist Angela Rangad condemned the forceful evictions, insisting that relocation must be based on a clear, inclusive plan.

Myanmar may have been the source of US-made weapons found in Imphal East, Manipur, on June 24.

“Acting on credible intelligence regarding the presence of arms smugglers and middlemen in the greater Imphal area, Manipur Police, under the leadership of Senior Superintendent of Police Rakesh Balwal, conducted a covert operation on June 24. The operation resulted in the arrest of five United National Liberation Front-Pambei (UNLF-P) insurgents and the seizure of several US-made firearms, including Smith and Wesson, Sig Sauer, Glock, Browning, Keltec, and Beretta pistols, along with assorted ammunition.
