A baby elephant that had become trapped in the wetland was safely rescued by the Forest Department and later released into a protected forest area. At the same time, a large herd of elephants was also spotted entering the Dipor Bil region, reportedly in search of food and to escape the intense heat.

A joyous moment for every Indian!
Chola Copper Plates dating back to the 11th Century will be repatriated to India from the Netherlands. Took part in the ceremony for the same in the presence of Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
The Chola Copper Plates are a set of 21 large plates and 3 small plates and largely contain texts in Tamil, one of the most beautiful languages of the world. They relate to the great Rajendra Chola I formalising an oral commitment made by his father, King Rajaraja I. They also showcase the greatness of the Cholas. We in India are immensely proud of the Cholas, their culture and their maritime prowess.
I thank the Government of the Netherlands and Leiden University in particular, where the Copper Plates were kept since the mid-19th century.

NEWS | The Constitution (#131stAmendment) Bill, 2026—meant to fast-track women’s reservation—collapsed in #Parliament after being tied to a contentious delimitation exercise and a massive expansion of seats. While the government pitched it as a structural reform, the Opposition pushed back, calling it a political redrawing of power disguised as empowerment.

Guwahati’s biggest problem isn’t garbage, it’s the attitude that creates it. Every corner of the city is littered because people genuinely believe “someone else will clean it.” This entitlement is now the default setting in people. You can’t build a smart city on a mindset this careless.

Grateful beyond words to Hon’ble Union Minister Shri Piyush Goyal Ji for his kind and encouraging words for me and Pratidin Media Network.
Wishing him good health and continued strength to keep serving the nation with his dedication.

Another classic Guwahati tradition spotted! Open dumping right by the roadside.
With severe rains now, this garbage won’t stay put. It’ll float, clog drains, and soon…another flood.
It's time for real action here.
📍Kanaklata Road, Dakhingaon.
A guard wall collapses in Beltola, leaving some critically injured, and yet the chaos of Beltola Bazar will continue unchecked.
This incident directs to only one thing: a safe, organised and designated market place (NOT ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD) is a must for Guwahati's Beltola.
Safety and the need for regularised infrastructure has been be ignored enough!

The Green Bus menace in Guwahati is less a transit service and more a daily traffic disruption ritual.
It’s almost impressive how they manage to find the worst possible choke points—just to park themselves like royalty in a moving mess.
Apologies for the noise pollution. Just trying to return the favor and ruin their comfort like they ruin everyone else's commute.
After the #PahalgamTerrorAttack, Operation Sindoor is more than a military response. It was a necessary statement.
1. India will not tolerate any form of terrorism against its people. New India is resolute, assertive and strong in defending its sovereignty with pride.
2. In times of crisis, Ruling parties, opposition leaders, Hindus, Muslims, Dalits, Feminist, Leftist, etc etc, all stand united as Indians.
3. New India has arrived: diplomatically, strategically and morally.
Jai Hind!🇮🇳

Over the past month, we have joyfully celebrated Bihu across Assam through numerous cultural events. I sincerely thank everyone for their enthusiastic participation and contributions.
However, the time has now come to conclude this festive season. I humbly appeal that all remaining Bihu functions scheduled from 10th May onwards be kindly cancelled. Let us bring this vibrant celebration to a graceful close, with the same unity and spirit in which it was celebrated.
