The death of seven elephants, including calves, in a train accident in Assam is deeply unfortunate and highlights a serious gap between development and wildlife safety. Elephants follow natural movement paths that existed long before railways, and it is our responsibility to ensure that infrastructure does not threaten their survival. Stronger protection of wildlife corridors, strict speed regulation in sensitive areas, and improved monitoring systems are urgently needed.
Protecting elephants is vital for maintaining Assam’s ecological balance and our responsibility toward nature.

Congratulations to Sangeeta Barooah Pisharoty, the first woman President of the Press Club of India and the first from the Northeast to hold this position.
A pioneer who has consistently upheld independent journalism, her leadership marks a historic and deeply proud moment for the Northeast.

The Government’s new airfare “caps” look like relief on paper, but for the Northeast they change almost nothing. Take Guwahati-Delhi: a route over 1,500 km where fares generally fall around ₹5,000-₹7,000, yet the new cap allows airlines to charge up to ₹18,000. For students, patients, and professionals who must travel to Delhi for education, healthcare, and work, this means no real protection and the same unaffordable fares.
How is this fair? How is this not discrimination masked as regulation? They lock the Northeast into the costliest bracket while offering only cosmetic relief to the rest of the country. Hard not to see this as government–airline collusion under the guise of a pro-people technical order.

The latest Level-2 travel advisory for India (https://t.co/FN79uLeIJv) by the US State Department is unwarranted and unjustified.
The entire North-Eastern region is safe and best known for its hospitality. It has always welcomed visitors from across the globe. Such blanket advisories perpetuate unfounded prejudices and must be reconsidered.
