UDP leader Paul Lyngdoh has attributed the exit of 11 of the party’s 12 MLAs to internal conflict and the party's failure to recover from its defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, rejecting suggestions that he joined the NPP out of resentment over his removal from the state Cabinet.

🇮🇳 🇯🇵 In my article for @EastMojo, I examine how the India-Japan partnership is helping transform the region’s infrastructure, connectivity and economic landscape. From projects such as the Dhubri–Phulbari bridge and Aizawl–Tuipang highway to the emerging @TataElectronics semiconductor facility in Jagiroad, Assam, the partnership is moving beyond traditional infrastructure development. Japanese companies including @TokyoElectron_J and @FujifilmJP_X are also becoming part of the emerging semiconductor ecosystem, while skill-development and mobility programmes are creating new opportunities for young people from the Northeast to work in Japan. These developments are helping integrate the Northeast more closely with Southeast Asia and the wider Indo-Pacific, reinforcing its role not simply as a frontier, but as a gateway to the Indo-Pacific.

As the district celebrates its flowers and cultural heritage, it continues to navigate the human impact of a conflict just across the border. A story of celebration, displacement and life on the border.

Opposition parties and protesters have raised concerns over the revision process, alleging that it could lead to the exclusion of eligible voters. They have called for accountability from the Election Commission and demanded Kumar’s resignation.

As questions remain, a caption circulating online asks us to confront something deeper: when a woman dies, why do we so often scrutinise her choices instead of asking what happened to her? #JusticeForHimashreeBoro
