A Tripura rights tribunal criticises NHIDCL for delaying land compensation for seven years.

The Tripura Human Rights Commission (THRC) has directed the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) to submit a report by July 11, following complaints that around 20 families in Jampui Hills, North Tripura, have yet to receive compensation for land acquired for a national highway project over seven years ago. Despite the absence of any legal disputes or ownership issues, and the completion of all administrative procedures, NHIDCL has withheld payment, citing project alignment changes and the need for a new Detailed Project Report. The THRC, taking suo motu cognizance of the matter, noted that this ongoing delay constitutes a violation of the affected families’ human rights and has also sought a report from the Land Acquisition Collector, North Tripura, to address the grievances highlighted in recent media reports.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has urgently appealed to Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri for immediate action as a gas leak at an ONGC rig in Bhatiyapara, Sivasagar district, enters its sixth day.

Sarma criticized ONGC’s response as slow and lacking urgency, calling for a more aggressive, mission-mode approach to prevent further public distress and restore normalcy.

Repaired Assam bridge collapses month after reopening, injures two

A decades-old bridge on the Silchar-Kalain Road in Assam’s Cachar district collapsed early Wednesday, sending two overloaded trucks plunging into the Harang River and injuring both drivers.
