Dibrugarh: Naharkatia MLA Taranga Gogoi on Tuesday conducted a comprehensive review of the construction progress of Moung Siu-Ka-Fa, a heritage tourism project being developed at Tipam Deosali Pahar (hill) in Dibrugarh district.
The site holds immense historical significance as the location of the first temporary capital established by Chaolung Siu-Ka-Pha, the founder of the Ahom dynasty.
Located 22 km from Naharkatia town, Tipam Deosali Pahar represents a pivotal chapter in Assam's medieval history. It was here that Chaolung Siu-Ka-Pha, also known as Chaolung Sukapha, established his first temporary capital in 1228, laying the foundation for what would become one of India's longest-ruling dynasties.

The heritage site project will centre around a magnificent 50-foot tall statue of Sukapha, designed to serve as both a monument to his legacy and a focal point for tourism development. The Ahom kingdom founder, originally a prince of the Su/Tsu (Tiger) clan of the Mao-Shan sub-tribe from present-day Mong Mao in China's Yunnan Province, created a dynasty that would endure for nearly six centuries until 1826.
"The project, Moung Siu-Ka-Fa, aims to preserve the historical heritage and enhance the region's beauty.

It is the duty of every citizen to work for preservation and promotion of the significant legacy of the Ahom Kingdom," MLA Taranga Gogoi said during his site visit on Tuesday.
Chaolung Siu-Ka-Pha''s establishment of the Ahom kingdom marked the beginning of a transformative period in Assam's history. Often referred to as the architect of Assam, he successfully unified various ethnic groups across the region, creating a cohesive kingdom that would resist external invasions and preserve local culture for centuries.
The Ahom dynasty's 600-year reign from 1228 to 1826 represents one of the most stable and enduring political entities in medieval India. Under their rule, Assam developed a unique cultural identity that blended indigenous traditions with influences from Southeast Asia, creating the distinctive Assamese civilisation that exists today.
Taranga Gogoi during his visit expressed optimism about the project's timeline and impact.
"This site will serve as a reminder of our glorious past and inspire future generations. We hope that the project will be completed swiftly, attracting tourists and historians alike, while also boosting the local economy," he stated.

Dubai Airport unveils AI-powered passenger corridor that lets travellers clear immigration in seconds
For decades, and till date, travellers are required to queue up at passport counters, shuffle through immigration gates, and juggle stacks of documents. And all this for the sake of international travel or for the sake of crossing borders. But in Dubai, that experience might likely become a part of history in the near future. As per the DDNews, Dubai International Airport (DXB), the world's busiest hub for international travel, has just unveiled a groundbreaking AI-powered passenger corridor that lets travellers clear immigration in seconds, without showing a single document. The project, part of the ambitious 'Travel Without Borders' initiative, marks a major leap in smart travel technology, combining the futuristic trio of speed, security, and convenience. Instead of presenting passports or scanning boarding passes, travellers simply walk along a designated corridor. In as little as 14 seconds, their identity is confirmed using advanced facial recognition and pre-registered biometric data. Up to 10 passengers can pass through simultaneously, making the system as efficient as it is seamless. Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA-Dubai) added that this removes the need for passport counters, smart gates, or physical checks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like SRM Online MBA – Empowering Future Leaders SRM Online Enquire Now Undo Read more: 10 Worst States to Live in America in 2025 This isn't Dubai's first foray into AI at the airport. Back in 2020, DXB made headlines with the launch of its 'smart tunnel', which allowed passengers to walk through a biometric scanning zone instead of queuing at counters. The new passenger corridor takes that idea a step further. Instead of pausing for checks, AI verifies passenger data before they even reach the checkpoint. The system continuously cross-references biometric records, ensuring identities are confirmed in real time. Any anomalies or suspicious cases are flagged instantly for expert review, allowing security teams to step in only when necessary. The system has initially rolled out in Terminal 3's First and Business Class lounges, with broader deployment planned as part of Dubai's push toward document-free, seamless travel. Authorities describe the wider programme as 'Unlimited Smart Travel,' signalling an intent to phase out traditional passport control over time.

DXB is no stranger to big numbers. For the 11th year in a row, the airport has been ranked the world's busiest for international travel, handling over 80 million passengers annually. With such massive traffic, efficiency isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity. The AI-powered corridor is already generating global buzz, with aviation experts calling it a scalable model for the future of air travel. It not only smooths the passenger journey but also enhances security by removing human error from document checks.

After vehicle breakdown, guide abandons Ranthambore tourists
Jaipur: The open-top safari truck coughed, rattled, stopped. Twenty tourists sat trapped in Ranthambore's Zone-6 - a 25sqkm territory locals call "three-tiger country". Time: 6pm. Darkness set in and the forest closed in. Panic spread. Parents whispered words of comfort to shush their crying children. For an hour and 45 minutes Saturday evening, the group remained stranded. Among those stuck was a seven-month-old child. Their guide allegedly deserted them, taking a lift out with another vehicle. By 7pm, no relief had come. With no mobile network to summon help, tourist Mohit hailed another vehicle returning from a trip. There's room for only one. He reached the main gate and begged for help. At the chowki, staff told him it wasn't their responsibility. A Canter driver allegedly demanded full payment before agreeing to assist. Rescue finally arrived around 7.45pm. The replacement Canter had no working headlights. The driver steered through the jungle with a torch. Children cried as the forest went pitch black. An audio recording of a woman tourist's call, made after she reached safety, recounted the ordeal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo "Fortunately, no wild animal appeared," she said. Ranthambore is home to 70 tigers and about 130 leopards. The broken Canter may have spared its passengers a brush with the wild - but it left the national park's safari system fully exposed. A senior official said Sunday the truck broke down during the evening safari. Another Canter, meant to be on standby at the chowki, was absent. A third Canter, which had already returned, was instructed to bring the marooned group but failed to follow orders. Forest department banned all three Canter drivers and the accompanying guide until further orders. An inquiry has been ordered, with the assistant conservator of forests (tourism) directed to submit a report in three days. The department also reviewed the age and condition of safari vehicles. Ranthambore currently has 556 registered vehicles for tourism: 269 Gypsies and 287 Canters. Authorised vehicles are either locally owned and registered with the forest department or department-owned, with private operators managing bookings. Hoteliers and conservation stakeholders warned that many Canters are in rundown condition. "Some owners avoid spending on maintenance... expecting the vehicles will be phased out," a tour operator said Monday. "A dedicated rescue vehicle must always be stationed." Tourists came to see the wild, but none of Ranthambore's tigers showed up. Instead, they saw the cracks in the system - in full, frightening darkness.
