Today, I visited the historic *Khinzamani* post in Zemithang with my friends. This iconic site holds profound historical significance as the point where His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama first entered India in 1959. One of the most extraordinary aspects of this place is a tree that grew from a simple stick His Holiness carried as a walking stick during his journey from Tibet. After reaching the post, he left the stick behind, and over time, it took root and blossomed into a magnificent tree. Standing under its shade, we were deeply moved by the symbolic transformation of that humble stick into a living testament to resilience and peace. This visit was truly inspiring, blending history, spirituality, and the serene beauty of Zemithang.

**Tawang District Sees Surge in Accidents Due to Snow and Ice, Authorities Urge Caution**

*Tawang, January 10, 2025* – Tawang district is grappling with a sharp increase in accidents, particularly along the treacherous stretch between Sela Tunnel and Power Camp above Jang. The region's icy roads, exacerbated by heavy snowfall, have created hazardous conditions, leading to numerous accidents in recent days.

Reports flooding in today have highlighted the severe risks faced by both commuters and tourists traveling through the area. With snow and ice blanketing the roads, drivers have been encountering dangerous, slippery surfaces, often resulting in loss of control and collisions.

In the face of these challenges, the Tawang police have been praised for their unwavering commitment to public safety. Braving the freezing temperatures, officers have been providing critical assistance to accident victims and stranded motorists. Their swift response and tireless efforts have earned widespread recognition from the local community, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the winter's harsh conditions.

In light of the growing danger, local authorities are urging all travelers to strictly follow the safety advisories issued by the Tawang District Administration and the Tawang Tourism Department. These guidelines, which include recommendations on vehicle preparation, road safety, and weather conditions, are designed to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure a safer travel experience for all.

"We urge everyone to stay informed about the current road conditions and to prioritize safety at all times," said a spokesperson from the Tawang District Administration. "We are working tirelessly to keep the roads clear, but it is crucial that travelers adhere to the advisories and remain cautious."

Commuters and tourists are encouraged to take all necessary precautions when navigating the icy roads of Tawang, and to avoid unnecessary travel during adverse weather conditions. By staying vigilant and following official safety guidelines, travelers can help ensure their own safety and that of others.

Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely, with updates on road conditions and weather forecasts to be issued regularly.

**Arunachal Pradesh to Reinstate 1978 Act Against ‘Forceful’ Religious Conversion**

*Itanagar, January 9*: The Arunachal Pradesh government is moving to bring back the Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act, 1978, in an effort to curb instances of “forceful” religious conversion in the state. The move, which has sparked discussions across the political and social spectrum, aims to uphold the cultural and traditional identity of the indigenous people of the state.

The Act was originally enacted in 1978 to prohibit conversions through coercion, inducement, or deceitful means, ensuring the right to religious freedom while safeguarding the traditional practices and beliefs of the local communities. Over the years, however, its enforcement diminished, leading to debates about its relevance and necessity.

Chief Minister Pema Khandu, while addressing the media, emphasized that the move is not against any particular religion but aims to ensure harmony and protect the cultural heritage of Arunachal’s tribal communities. "The indigenous faith and traditions of our people are our identity, and we must ensure they are not diluted or threatened through any form of coercion," he said.

The decision has been welcomed by various tribal organizations and local community leaders who have long expressed concerns over alleged forceful conversions in certain parts of the state. However, human rights groups have called for caution, urging that the law should not be misused to target religious minorities or curtail individual freedoms.

Legal experts have pointed out that the Act aligns with Article 25 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the freedom of religion while also providing for regulations in the interest of public order and morality.

The government is expected to reintroduce the Act in a revised format during the next Assembly session. Consultations with stakeholders, including community leaders, legal experts, and religious representatives, are ongoing to ensure the law strikes a balance between preserving cultural heritage and upholding constitutional rights.

As Arunachal Pradesh moves forward with this initiative, the state is set to become part of the larger national discourse on religious freedom, identity, and pluralism.

ALERT..

**Four Tourists Stuck in Sela Ice Lake After Attempt to Walk on Frozen Surface; Public Advised to Exercise Caution**

A shocking incident has come to light through a video circulating on social media, where four tourists were seen stranded in an ice-covered Sela lake after attempting to walk on the fragile frozen surface. The incident occurred when the ice suddenly gave way, causing them to sink into a hole formed in the lake.

Fortunately, prompt assistance was provided, and the situation was brought under control. However, this alarming incident serves as a critical reminder of the dangers associated with walking on frozen lakes.

Tourists and visitors are urged to avoid stepping onto frozen water bodies, as the ice may not be strong enough to support weight and can break unexpectedly, posing life-threatening risks. Authorities have issued a strict advisory requesting everyone to prioritize safety while enjoying winter landscapes.

Stay vigilant, follow safety guidelines, and avoid unnecessary risks to ensure a safe and memorable experience.

Dr. Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister of India and a distinguished economist, passed away on December 26, 2024, at the age of 92. He died at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi due to age-related health conditions.

Born on September 26, 1932, in Gah, Punjab Province (now in Pakistan), Dr. Singh's family migrated to India during the partition in 1947. He pursued higher education in economics, earning a doctorate from Oxford University. His career spanned various key positions, including Chief Economic Advisor, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, and head of the Planning Commission.

In 1991, amid a severe economic crisis, Dr. Singh was appointed Finance Minister by then-Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao. He implemented significant economic reforms that liberalized India's economy, steering the nation away from financial turmoil.

Dr. Singh served as the 13th Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014, becoming the first Sikh to hold the office. His tenure is noted for economic growth and the landmark Indo-U.S. nuclear deal. However, it was also marked by corruption allegations against his ministers, particularly during his second term, which contributed to the Congress Party's defeat in the 2014 elections.

After leaving office, Dr. Singh maintained a low profile, occasionally offering his insights on economic and political matters. His passing marks the end of an era in Indian politics, leaving behind a legacy of economic transformation and public service.

He is survived by his wife, Gursharan Kaur, and three daughters. Leaders across the political spectrum have expressed their condolences, acknowledging his contributions to the nation.
