Speaking at the inaugural session of North East Infrastructure Development Conclave for the development of physical connectivity and integrated urban development for North East, Prof. Mukhi said that government of India is very liberal in investing in infrastructure to eliminate service backlogs of North East with special emphasis on rural areas. He said that since a well planned infrastructure enables established businesses to expand their production levels and encourage small businesses to enter the market, both Central and State governments are making concerted efforts to put in place robust infrastructure for physical connectivity in the areas of air, water, internet and land transport.
The Governor said that the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has conceived of extensive national highway projects to give a boost to the region’s physical connectivity.

At present the airport handles as many as 70 fleets on a daily basis. Moreover, a seamless digital connectivity has been in use in the region by liberalizing its cyber space as India and Bangladesh signed an agreement for using unspent bandwidth available at Bangladesh’s Cox Bazar in Chittagong to bring in revolution not only in the northeast but also some mainland states, the Governor said.

NEW DELHI, FEB 18 (AGENCIES): Assam Public Works (APW), the original petitioner in the Supreme Court which led to the updating of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) six years ago, has claimed that 80 lakh foreigners, including several ‘jihadis’ have been marked “legal” in the citizenship exercise.
It has urged the Supreme Court to halt the process until 100 percent re-verification was done.
Talking to Inside Northeast, APW President Aabhijeet Sharma said, “We have submitted an affidavit to the apex court yesterday. We have named as many as four jihadis who have been included. We demand an NIA, ED and CBI inquiry into the matter. Moreover, we want to urge the Supreme Court to suspend the process until 100 re-verification is done.”
Aabhijeet Sharma’s demand of investigating the NRC matter at the highest levels has brought back Assam’s citizenship exercise to filter the illegal Bangladeshi residents in the state.
It may be mentioned here that Sharma, in his press statement, raised his concerns regarding the matter.
“There are many empty agricultural lands being transformed overnight into populated villages especially in the Barkhetri Assembly Constituency of Nalbari District in the lower Assam region. The situation is getting even worse as time passes by, because the district authority cannot even take the required steps to control the sudden rush.
In Sipajhar too, there is the similar phenomenon to be seen, where 182 BigFile photo of NRC process being undertaken.
has of agricultural land being converted into newly constructed villages,” he wrote.
He added, “The fundamental reason behind these kinds of lawlessness created by a selected group of people is the nothing but the NRC. Not only that, the NRC even included with the names of Jehadis. Lately arrested Jihadis, Azharuddin (NRN 101830302021048301267), R a n j i t A l i ( N R N 101830202015157900632), Luit Jamiul Jamal (NRN 1018302020151557400094), Muqaddir Islam (NRN 1018302020151557400094) etc. are legalized Indian citizens through the NRC. We have been recurrently applying to the concerned authorities regarding these grave issues.”
Aabhijeet Sharma reiterated that APW would not stop at anything. “We will continue to raise this issue till all the discrepancies regarding the NRC are settled, and all the people who earned money in a corrupt manner must be punished,” he said.

AGARTALA, FEB 18 (AGENCIES): The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of a Ghaziabad court has allowed the transit remand of former Tripura chief secretary Yash Pal Singh on Tuesday, police sources informed EastMojo.
The court after hearing the case of Singh, who was arrested in connection with the alleged PWD scam that took place during the Left Front government in 2008- 2009 financial year, allowed the transit remand later in the afternoon.
“Singh was detained from IRS Apartments in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad on Monday and brought to Indirapuram police station for verification. After doing all the formalities, he was arrested and kept in Kavi Nagar police station,” the police source said.
A team of Tripura police led by Ajay Kumar Das, deputy superintendent, crime branch, arrested the former chief secretary 128 days after being booked in the multi-crore PWD scam on Monday. Singh was absconding since October 13 after being booked in the West Agartala police station. Singh served as the chief secretary in Tripura during the previous Left Front government and was booked along with former PWD minister Badal Choudhury and former chief engineer Sunil Bhowmik by the crime branch on October 13 last year.
Both the former minister and former chief engineer were arrested but are currently on bail after remaining in judicial custody for more than 87 days.
Tripura police could not arrest Singh even after making several attempts and were trying to search his Delhi house on several occasions. The police have failed to file the chargesheet till date as Singh was not arrested and was suspected to be a “big fish” in the PWD scam and irregularities reported in the expense of the works done during 2008-09 financial year.

Voter ID not conclusive proof of citizenship: GHC reaffirms
GUWAHATI, FEB 18 (AGENCEIS): The Gauhati High Court (GHC) has reaffirmed that a voter photo identity card can’t be conclusive proof of an individual’s citizenship. The High Court’s observation was in the context of assessing who is a foreigner as per the terms of the Assam Accord.
The court also held that land revenue receipts, a PAN card and bank documents cannot be used to prove citizenship. The division bench of Justice Manojit Bhuyan and Justice Parthivjyoti Saikia reiterated an earlier judgement of the court while hearing a writ petition, which challenged the verdict of a foreigners’ tribunal in Tinsukia district of upper Assam, filed by Munindra Biswas. In Md. Babul Islam versus State of Assam (No. 3547), the court had ruled that “electoral photo identity card is not a proof of citizenship”.
Biswas, who was declared a foreigner by the tribunal in July 2019, submitted to the court that his grandfather Durga Charan Biswas belonged to Nadia district of West Bengal and his father Indra Mohan Biswas migrated to Tinsukia district of Assam in 1965.
The petitioner said he was born in Assam, is a resident of Margherita town of Tinsukia district and submitted proof of his name in the 1997 voters’ list. He also attached land documents from 1970.
However, the court concluded that the petitioner failed to furnish a voters’ list prior to 1997 to prove that his parents entered Assam before January 1, 1966 and he was living in the state prior to March 24, 1971. As per Clause 6A of the Citizenship Act, an outcome of the Assam Accord, the base year for citizenship exclusive to Assam is January 1, 1966. Those who settled in the state between January 1, 1966 and March 24, 1971 are to lose their right to vote for a period of ten years and on completion of that period would be regularised.
