Glitch in the Matrix

This is so heartbreaking!
In a school in Visakhapatnam, a 6 year old collapsed and died, over fear of being punished, UNDRESSED for not doing his homework! While the teacher slapped the child, it looks more like he was so fearful he just collapsed. She was also tugging his clothes as he wept. Tragic and terrible

#WATCH | Days after the Supreme Court's August 17 order mandating a nationwide survey of elephant corridors, ruling that states cannot block traditional wildlife pathways over crop damage, #Assam shows what that protection looks like in practice.

In this video you can see an unexpected halt on the tracks, but only for our adorable giants to pass by. The Down Rajdhani Express was stopped at Km 167/8, Hawaipur (Lanka Range, Nagaon South Division, Hojai) as an elephant herd crossed the tracks. Alert action by assam forest staff, the loco-pilot, and Lumding Railway Control Room ensured the herd crossed safely and the train resumed its journey.

Another day, another safe crossing! Every day, our dedicated forest personnel remain watchful, quietly ensuring the safety of our wildlife. These may be silent stories, but each safe crossing is a story worth telling.

The clubs want to hear from the most important voice: fans.

Been assured that the voice/choice will be heard.

Spend a couple of minutes. We can do our bit for #IndianFootball

VIDEO | Delhi: With her home submerged in floodwater and her family forced to take shelter in a relief camp, 17-year-old Janmoni Konwar had every reason to stay back in Assam.

Instead, the young karate player from Holmora village in Jorhat district insisted on making the journey to Delhi for the 20th All India Independence Cup Karate Championship.

“My house is completely flooded. The situation at home is very bad; the entire house is submerged in the floodwater,” Janmoni told PTI on the sidelines of the Championship in the nation's capital on Saturday.

Janmoni has been playing karate since she was 10. She also won a gold medal previously at the 19th All India Independence Cup.

#WATCH | As individuals, organisations and volunteers continue to support flood-affected families across #Assam, a woman recently called out the donation of torn and used clothes to flood victims, urging people to donate with dignity.

The same woman has shared with GPlus that she and her team have distributed new clothes to over 500 flood-affected families as part of their relief efforts. Her message serves as a reminder that every contribution matters, but thoughtful and respectful donations can make an even greater difference.

Assam Is Drowning. Nagaland Is Hurting.

Floods are no longer a story from the chars of the Brahmaputra.

When districts like Sivasagar begin to drown, something fundamental has changed.

For generations, Sivasagar was known for its history, but floods were never part of its identity. Today, people are watching the Dikhow River swallow neighbourhoods that never imagined water would reach their doorsteps.

More than six lakh people have already been affected. Hundreds of villages remain submerged. Families who went to sleep in their own homes are waking up in relief camps, wondering whether there will be anything left to return to. Others are still trapped inside their houses, waiting for rescue boats instead of school buses.

Forty-one lives have already been lost this season. Behind every number is someone who expected to come home.

As the rest of us scroll through flood videos on our phones, thousands of children are spending another night under tarpaulin roofs, elderly parents are wondering how long medicines will last, and farmers are watching months of hard work disappear beneath muddy water.

But while our attention remains fixed on Assam, we should not forget our neighbours.

Nagaland is going through one of its worst spells in recent years.

The cloudburst over Mon, Mokokchung, Longleng, Tuensang and Kiphire did not stop at the state border. Hills gave way. Flash floods tore through towns like Tuli. Roads collapsed. Entire communities were cut off.

Water doesn't recognise political boundaries. The rain that devastated Nagaland is now flowing through Assam.

In many ways, this is one disaster shared by two states.

We often celebrate the Northeast together when football unites us, when Hornbill Festival arrives or when an athlete wins on the national stage.

Disasters deserve the same solidarity.

Tonight, while many of us remain dry behind our windows, there are families across Sivasagar, Golaghat, Dhemaji, Jorhat, Mon, Mokokchung and countless other places simply hoping the water stops rising before morning.

@North_Star2529 @mufaddal_vohra How many runs did 4, 5, 6, 7 score?

I think Arshdeep outscored all 4 of them and denied Curren his 5th wicket
