In a significant decision, the Assam cabinet on Thursday made it clear that minor traffic rule violations by two and three-wheelers will not be fined.

Firstly, he said that except not wearing helmets, other minor offences related to expiry of pollution certificates, or vehicle insurance lapse, and other such violations will not be penalised.

Secondly, in case of three-wheelers like autorickshaws, e-rickshaws, etc., as many as four repeated offences will be overlooked. However, the fifth instance of rule violation will be appropriately dealt with fines imposed as well as action taken as per the provisions of the law.

After intensifying operation against wildlife crime, forest officials on Tuesday arrested two dreaded poachers from Manas National Park and seized wildlife body parts along with a huge cache of weapons from their possession.

The arrested poachers have been identified as Kalicharan Basumatary and Maisorang Gayari, both hailing from Assam’s Chirang district.

The operation was carried out under the leadership of the Field Director of the Manas Project Tiger Office in collaborative efforts of the Kuklung and Panbari ranges.

“We have recovered two handmade guns, an antler of a deceased deer, a porcupine quill, gun parts, a bullet-making machine, bow and arrow including various weapons,” said a forest official.

25/06/2024

Assam government, on June 24, announced a significant change in the admission process for higher education institutions across the state. Students eligible for the Fee Waiver Scheme can now submit their family ration card instead of an income certificate when applying to government and provincialised colleges, as well as state universities.

Education Minister Ranoj Pegu confirmed this policy shift, which aims to streamline the admission process for the First Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP). The decision comes as a relief to many students who have faced difficulties in obtaining income certificates, often a time-consuming and complex process.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Pegu wrote, "A review meeting was held with senior officials of the education department on rationalization and transfer of teachers at the Samgra Shiksha Abhiyan office meeting room today. The school education department was directed to rationalize and transfer teachers with priority to control the ratio of students and teachers according to schools and subjects (s.i.c)."

Pegu further stated that 57,469 students have been admitted to the FYUGP in government and provincialised colleges, as well as state universities under the fee waiver scheme. He noted that an additional 50,000 students are expected to benefit from the scheme.

23/06/2024

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his displeasure over a particular community's voting behavior. He wrote, "There are people of a particular community who got house, toilet, road, government job, ration, and Rs 1250 per month from Modi government. But this community voted for Congress. Because they want appeasement. Their aim was not development but to remove Modi and maintain the dominance of their community."

Addressing a public rally in the state on June 22, Sarma questioned, "Who is involved in communal activities today? Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana houses can be seen in Baghbor, Jania. The person who lives in the house given by Modi ji, the person who uses the electricity given by Modi Ji, and the person who goes to the toilet given by Modi Ji, on the 9th of every month, 1250 rupees are deposited in the bank account, that person has also courageously gone to the centre of the vote and voted for the Congress party, not for Narendra Modi. Such extreme manifestations and communalism have never been reported before."

Sarma continued his criticism, emphasizing the perceived ingratitude, "Think about the person whose family has got a government job without paying a penny, the person whose family has got a house given by Modi ji, got electricity, the road in front of the house is pucca, the school is pucca, that person has not thought about the price of things, that person has not thought about anything else, they only think is 'Modi Hatao'. Apart from that, nothing much do they think about."

22/06/2024

The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, aimed at curbing cheating in public examinations and common entrance tests nationwide, was officially enacted on Friday, June 21.

This development follows widespread allegations of malpractice in the administration of the NEET and UGC NET examinations. The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pensions issued a gazette notification confirming the enforcement date. The notification states, "In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (2) of section 1 of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024 (1 of 2024), the central government hereby appoints the 21st day of June 2024, as the date on which the provisions of the said Act shall come into force."

Passed during the Budget session, which concluded on February 10, the legislation aims to eliminate the use of "unfair means" in public examinations, promoting "greater transparency, fairness, and credibility." President Droupadi Murmu granted her assent to the Bill on February 13, thereby transforming it into law.

The Act specifically targets examinations conducted by authorities designated by the central government, including the Union Public Service Commission, Staff Selection Commission, Railway Recruitment Board, National Testing Agency, Institute of Banking Personnel Selection, and various central government departments and their associated offices responsible for recruitment.

A team of scientists and researchers from Assam University, Silchar, have discovered a new disease which is affecting tea leaves and posing a serious challenge to the production yield of the tea industry in the region.

Prof Piyush Pandey, director of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of the varsity and a professor at the Department of Microbiology of the university who led the research for over two years' time, informed The Assam Tribune that the newly identified disease, leaf necrosis, is caused by the fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae.

"This marks the first report of Lasiodiplodia theobromae-induced leaf necrosis in India, with a prior occurrence documented only in China," Prof Pandey claimed.

He added to inform that the newly found disease rots the tea leaves and poses a significant threat to Assam's tea plantations, which were previously battling fungal diseases primarily attributed to Corticium induced black rot. "From our findings we could decipher that the symptoms of leaf necrosis caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae are strikingly similar to those of Corticium infections, making diagnosis and treatment more challenging," the scientist added.

Kheyali Ghosh, Sandeep Das, Nandita Das, Silpi Sorongpong are the other researchers in the team. The research was financially supported by the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.

On the other hand, while Prof Pandey informed that they had collected samples from tea gardens across Barak and Brahmaputra valleys (mainly from Dibrugarh district) industry stakeholders have reacted to the issue.

IB Ubhadia, general manager of Rosekandy Tea Estate in Cachar, said that this is vital research work that will help improve the control mechanism to save the leaves from the fungal infection.

Prof Rajive Mohan Pant, the vice chancellor of the university, lauded the efforts of Prof. Pandey and his team for their significant contribution, reiterating the university's commitment to supporting the regional tea industry through dedicated research and innovation.

A shocking case of sexual exploitation of girls on the pretext of promising them jobs has come to light in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. It is alleged that around 180 girls were held hostage in the Ahiyapur area under the guise of recruitment. The victims were sexually exploited and physically assaulted with belts. Notably, a victim from Chapra has made shocking revelations. She has filed a case regarding the incident that took place in Muzaffarpur.

As per reports, the accused gang weaponised Bihar’s unemployment and migration issues and opened a fake marketing racket (company) named DVR, and posted job offers on social media. The post offered lucrative jobs, however, it was only for girls.

According to the victim, a company called DVR had posted a job offer for girls on Facebook, and she applied for it. After being selected, she was asked to pay Rs 20,000 for training. After depositing the money, many girls were housed near Bakhri in the Ahiyapur police station area. However, even after 3 months, their salaries were not paid. Subsequently, these girls approached the company’s CMD, Tilak Singh. The victim was then instructed to recruit 50 more girls for the company with the promise that her salary would increase to Rs 50,000 after this.

According to the victim, when she told the accused that she was unable to add 50 more people, she was forced to contact her acquaintances and people on her contact list.

Nonetheless, the Police have registered an FIR in this case and further investigation is underway. The victim further alleged that after she filed a complaint against the fake recruitment company, Tilak Singh arranged for her kidnapping and attempted to prevent her from going to court. Threats were also made to murder her brother by summoning him to Patna to create terror.

Pertinent to note that it is the same area that had earned infamy for the ‘Muzaffarpur Shelter Home case’ where allegations of sexual exploitation of 34 girls had come to light. The Bollywood film, ‘Bhakshak’ was based on this horrifying case. The accused Brajesh Thakur also ran a local newspaper.

Even as the controversy over NEET threatens to reach a boiling point, the Ministry of Education has has cancelled the UGC-NET exam, conducted by the National Testing Agency, just a day after it was held. Over 9 lakh candidates had appeared for the exam, which is held for Assistant Professor posts in universities and colleges and to determine eligibility for junior research fellowships.
In a statement, the Education Ministry said the June exam of the University Grants Commission-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) was conducted on Tuesday in OMR (pen and paper) mode in two shifts across the country.

"On 19th June, 2024, the University Grants Commission (UGC) received certain inputs from National Cyber Crime Threat Analytics Unit of Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs on the Examination. These inputs prima facie indicate that the integrity of the aforesaid examination may have been compromised," it said.

The ministry said it was announcing the cancellation of the June 2024 examination "to ensure the highest level of transparency and sanctity of the examination process" and that it will be held afresh at a date which will be shared later.
