MANIPUR: Commuters’ lives have been affected by a 72-hour global strike announced by the World Meitei Council. The protest is in response to the BJP-led government’s apparent failure to address non-tribal Meiteis’ concerns.

As reported by Northeast Today, along the stretches controlled by police forces, commercial cars were prohibited from driving; however, emergency vehicles were permitted to do so. During the unrest, commercial institutions, banks, and government offices remained closed.

It’s worth noting that regular life has been significantly disrupted since Friday midnight as a result of the “indefinite economic blockade” declared by many Manipur student organisations, including the All Tribal Students’ Union Manipur (ATSUM).

The protest was started in response to the state government’s refusal to support the Autonomous District Council (ADC) Bill 2021.

Mukul Sangma Meghalaya

Former Chief Minister and Congress Legislature Party leader, Mukul Sangma and 11 others have joined the Trinamool Congress in Meghalaya. The Trinamool gained 12 out of 17 Congress MLAs as a result of this action. 

This came one month after Rahul Gandhi met with Mukul Sangma and Vincent H. Pala, the party’s state president, with the motives of discussing their demands. 

Since the latter was selected as the new Meghalaya unit chairman, Mukul Sangma and Pradesh Congress Committee chief Vincent H. Pala have not been on the best terms. 

Sangma also claimed that he was not consulted about Pala’s selection by the party leadership. 

Previously, Sangma was rumored to have considered joining the Trinamool Congress (TMC). Later, however, the two leaders met and decided to work together in the impending by-elections. 

According to sources, members of Prashant Kishor’s team were in talks with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on behalf of the TMC. Sangma, on the other hand, was evasive about TMC’s offers.

The multidisciplinary study of architecture is critical in analysing aspects such as demography in the context of urban design. A Sikkim-based architectural design association, ‘Architects of Sikkim,’ is planning a 9-day workshop and exhibition on urbanisation from December 4 to 12, stressing the current situation of the state capital Gangtok, in an attempt to comprehend its methods boosting socio-economic benefits.

The gathering will be held at the Statue of Unity near Thakurbari Mandir, the District Control Room on M.G. Marg, and various locations throughout the state capital.

Organizers said during a press conference on Wednesday that it would include resource persons from Delhi, Nepal, and Bhutan, including Sikkim.

The event will conduct conversations on Sikkim’s architectural patterns, according to event coordinator Upendra Gurung.

A roadmap for the state capital will be developed based on this, with stakeholders and concerned officials included.

In the meanwhile, the organisers plan to hold competitions such as essay writing and poetry recitations.

Gurung also mentioned creating a blueprint based on Gangtok’s architectural patterns and urbanisation.

This will be created in collaboration with the Department of Urban Development, the Gangtok Municipal Corporation (GMC), and the Smart City Project, and then presented to the State government.

TRIPURA: Supreme Court orders ‘Immediate’ deployment of Central Forces for smooth election

Supreme Court orders Immediate deployment of Central Forces Tripura

The Supreme Court ordered the Centre to deploy two extra Central Paramilitary Forces companies in Tripura as soon as feasible on Thursday. 

This comes after a series of violent occurrences in the state in the run-up to the municipal election, which is currently being polled. 

To ensure free and fair elections, the Supreme Court orders Tripura’s DGP and Home Secretary to ensure that all polling booths are appropriately manned by security forces.

Given the lack of CCTV cameras at all polling stations, the Supreme Court ordered that the print and electronic media be given unrestricted access to the booths to report on the issue. 

If a situation arises that necessitates the assistance of CAPF officials, any polling official can do so. 

The apex court announced on Thursday that CAPF men will be deployed to secure ballot boxes until the vote is counted on November 28.

Meanwhile, the TMC has filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court alleging that its candidates and supporters are being denied the right to vote in Thursday’s elections. 

While hearing a petition by the Trinamool Congress seeking contempt action against the Tripura government and others for failing to curb violent occurrences against opposition parties, the court refused to postpone the polls on Tuesday. 

The Tripura government was ordered by the Supreme Court on November 11 to ensure that no political party is barred from exercising its electoral rights in accordance with the law and campaigning in a peaceful and orderly way.

The Trinamool Congress said that it was being harassed and intimidated during its campaign for the state’s local elections, accusing the ruling BJP of having a political vendetta against it.
