"The militants attacked the Assam Rifles patrolling party when the para-military forces were conducting routine patrolling between Khogla and Lyangche close to the
India-Myanmar border

The officer said, 'The Assam Rifles troops retaliated the attack forcing the extremists to retreat and abandon their position. A temporary hideout used by the insurgents was found in the area, he said.
A significant cache of war-like stores, around 15 kg of improvised explosive device (IED), 34 detonators, two .22 pistols along with two magazines and other military-grade supplies were recovered from the mountainous areas.

He Refused Her Touch On Wedding Night. The Bride Uncovered His Secret - And Paid For It

Last Updated: The bride says she discovered her husband's impotence on their wedding night, and has accused her in-laws of dowry torture and attempted murder What should have been the beginning of a joyful new chapter turned into a night of shock and heartbreak for a newlywed bride. After the wedding, she waited with hope and affection for her husband to join her. When he finally entered the room, she welcomed him with warmth, expecting love and companionship. But the mood changed abruptly. As she gently reached for his hand, he recoiled in anger. Confused and hurt, she soon came to a painful realisation: her husband was hiding that he was impotent. This unsettling incident occurred in Kanpur, where a woman has now publicly accused her husband of impotence and claims she was deceived into the marriage for dowry. According to the bride, her in-laws were fully aware of the groom's condition yet went ahead with the marriage. When she objected, they not only dismissed her concerns but also allegedly subjected her to physical abuse. The Shocking Discovery And Demand For Money The woman, originally from Rawatpur, was married in March 2024 to a man from Unnao. On their wedding night, she found out about his condition. The next morning, she told her elder sister-in-law, who brushed it off as a joke. When she brought it up again, her in-laws began mistreating her and admitted they had known all along. They reportedly said the marriage was only to extract dowry. When she suggested medical treatment for her husband, they demanded Rs 2 lakh from her. She stayed on, hoping things would improve. Soon, her elder brother-in-law began harassing her. When she resisted, she was beaten severely. Matters escalated when, during a meeting with her parents, there was an alleged attempt to hang her, apparently an effort to silence her permanently. Legal Action Taken Following her formal complaint, a police case has been registered against the husband, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law under serious criminal sections. Authorities have confirmed that an investigation is ongoing, and appropriate action will be taken. view comments First Published: July 10, 2025, 09:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Madurai Kamaraj University college faculty say principal violating rules, probe on

MADURAI: Students and lecturers of Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU) college in Tallakulam have jointly petitioned against the principal (in charge), B George, accusing him of acting against MKU norms, and causing a loss of Rs 2.5 crore to the institution. Though the principal refuted the charges, MKU authorities have sought an explanation from both sides. Students and lecturers of MKU submitted a letter to the Minister for Higher Education, Govi. Chezhiaan, principal secretary of the higher education department P Shankar, collegiate education commissioner E Sundaravalli, MKU registrar, convener committee members, as well as the syndicate members. In the petition, they stated George assumed charge on January 30. He allegedly stopped admission for BA Sociology without consulting the admission committee. Due to this, the student strength came down from 1,450 to 1,100 and also caused a loss of Rs 2.5 crore. Refusing the charges, George told TNIE, 'Due to non-availability of classrooms, the college did not admit new students for BA Sociology. Later, after the construction of new classrooms, admissions will be held for the upcoming academic year. A total of 120 consolidated teachers working here have sent false complaints.' On request for anonymity, an official from MKU said that explanations have been sought from both sides, and a meeting would be held regarding this in the varsity on Friday.

Madras High Court summons Chennai corporation commissioner

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has summoned Commissioner of Greater Chennai Corporation on Thursday in connection with a contempt of court petition filed for action against him for disobeying the previous orders on taking action against building plan violations and deviations in Zone V and other zones. The first bench of Chief Justice K R Shriram and Justice Sunder Mohan issued the orders summoning the commissioner when Additional Advocate General J Ravindran mentioned about the previous day's order imposing Rs 1 lakh costs on the commissioner and requested to keep the order in abeyance. The bench questioned why the commissioner did not appear when the contempt case came up for hearing on Tuesday and asked whether the officer thinks he is above the court only because he is an IAS officer. The contempt petition was filed by N Rukmangathan, a former councillor, seeking action against the commissioner for wilful disobedience of an order passed in 2022.
