In a recent discussion, Seilen Haokip, spokesperson for the Kuki National Organisation (KNO), expressed optimism about the Kuki insurgent groups achieving separation from Manipur during the current President's rule. He clarified that the term "territorial integrity of Manipur," included in the suspension of operations (SoO) agreement, is increasingly irrelevant to the Kuki tribes seeking a separate administration. Haokip criticized the previous state government's interference in peace talks, asserting that the current political climate offers a unique opportunity for progress. The Kuki tribes, who have faced ethnic violence and displacement, are pushing for 'Kukiland,' while the Meitei community opposes any division. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 260 deaths and the displacement of nearly 50,000 individuals. Haokip emphasized that the Kuki groups remain committed to their political demands and have not compromised their objectives despite internal challenges.

The port, situated in Thiruvananthapuram district, was completed at an estimated cost of Rs 8,867 crore and aims to lessen India's reliance on foreign ports for transhipment. Developed by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) under a public-private partnership with the Kerala government, the port is set to bolster India's maritime capabilities. The commissioning ceremony was attended by key figures, including Kerala Governor Rajendra Arlekar and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. PM Modi also conducted an aerial survey of the site and toured the operational facilities, highlighting the port's readiness for commercial operations following its certification last December.
Published: May 02 2025, 12 pmeznews.inThe National Investigation Agency (NIA) has released a preliminary report on the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley, which resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily tourists. The report suggests a coordinated effort between Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in orchestrating the attack. Sources indicate that the conspiracy was developed within LeT, allegedly under the guidance of senior ISI officials, and formalised at the group's headquarters in Pakistan. Key perpetrators identified as Hashmi Musa (alias Suleman) and Ali Bhai (alias Talha Bhai) are confirmed to be Pakistani nationals. Interrogations of detained operatives revealed that the attackers were in regular contact with handlers based in Pakistan, receiving detailed instructions regarding the attack's timing, logistics, and execution.
Published: May 02 2025, 11 ameznews.inThe inauguration of a new Jagannath temple in Digha has sparked a heated dispute between Odisha and West Bengal, primarily over the West Bengal government's designation of the temple as "Jagannath Dham." This title is historically reserved for the 12th-century Puri temple, a key pilgrimage site in Hinduism, leading to objections from Odisha's religious scholars and devotees who argue that such a claim distorts tradition. The temple, built on 22 acres at a cost of Rs 250 crore, aims to attract both religious visitors and tourists. Criticism intensified following promotional materials from the West Bengal government that appeared to appropriate symbols associated with Puri. Additionally, political tensions have emerged, with West Bengal's opposition leader questioning whether the site is a temple or cultural centre, raising concerns about public funding for religious infrastructure. The controversy is further complicated by upcoming assembly elections, as the ruling Trinamool Congress seeks to appeal to Hindu voters.

Published: May 02 2025, 11 ameznews.inThe Delhi High Court has upheld its ruling mandating Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale to pay Rs 50 lakh in damages to former diplomat Lakshmi Puri for defamation, rejecting his petition for a delayed appeal. The court dismissed Gokhale's request, citing a lack of valid explanation for the 180-day delay in seeking relief. Puri, who previously served as the United Nations Assistant Secretary-General, accused Gokhale of making false allegations regarding her financial dealings, specifically claims about property purchases in Switzerland. Gokhale had called for an investigation by the Enforcement Directorate, which Puri argued was baseless as she was not in public office at the time. The court had previously ordered Gokhale to remove defamatory tweets and publish an apology, yet Puri's subsequent action was prompted by his failure to comply with the judgment.
