The public hearing for the Subansiri Upper Hydro Project has been rescheduled for October 28 in Arunachal.

The Arunachal Pradesh State Pollution Control Board has rescheduled the environmental public hearing for the proposed 1,650 MW Subansiri Upper Hydroelectric Project. Originally set for October 30, it will now be held on October 28, 2025 (Monday) at the Menga Government Secondary School in Upper Subansiri district.

According to Deputy Commissioner Tasso Gambo, residents from the Siyum, Taliha, Payeng, Jaring, Daporijo, Gusar, and Dumporijo circles—areas likely affected by the project—are encouraged to participate.

The project, a joint venture between the Arunachal Pradesh government and NHPC Ltd, is planned on the Subansiri River, a tributary of the Brahmaputra.
However, the initiative faces strong local opposition. Residents and student groups have protested, demanding the project’s cancellation, with major demonstrations earlier this month in front of the DC’s office and the Daporijo district headquarters.

Death of Zubeen Garg: Assam police SIT returns to Guwahati after concluding its investigation in Singapore.

“A two-member team from the Assam Police, led by CID Special DGP Munna Prasad Gupta and Titabor Co-District SP Tarun Goel, returned to Guwahati after completing an extensive probe in Singapore into the mysterious death of renowned Assamese singer Zubeen Garg.

The SIT expects to receive vital evidence such as CCTV footage and witness statements from Singapore within 10 days. Several individuals including festival organizers, Garg’s manager, band members, and relatives have been arrested on charges including murder and criminal conspiracy. The investigation continues as Assam awaits clarity on the tragic death of its beloved cultural icon.”​

Tribes, tea tribes, Morans, and Motoks are excluded from the two-child rule, according to the Assam Cabinet.

“The Assam government on Thursday decided to exempt tribals, tea tribes, Morans, and Motoks from the two-child norm for government jobs. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the decision was taken to keep these communities outside population control measures and safeguard them from the risk of extinction. ‘The cabinet decided to exempt members of the tea tribes, Morans, Motok and Scheduled Tribes from the provision of restricting the number of children to two under the population policy. If we stick to the policy, these populations will lose their distinct identities and gradually become extinct in the next 50 years,’ he said.

The Moran community’s population is currently estimated at around 1 lakh. Social scientists advised relaxing the two-child norm for these micro-communities, or else they may not survive. The two-child policy, which came into effect in January 2021 under the Assam Public Services Rules, 2019, will continue to apply to other communities.

This move aims to preserve the cultural identities and survival of vulnerable indigenous groups while balancing population control for the wider population.”​
