Union Home Minister Amit Shah
to discuss the decades-old Naga political issue and concerns about the border fencing and FMR across the India-Myanmar border.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) last year announced that the FMR, which allows people residing along the India-Myanmar border to travel 16 km into each other's territory without a visa, would be scrapped soon.
The Nagaland Assembly on March 7 unanimously decided that an all-party delegation would meet the union home minister to explain to him the 'sentiment and resentment of the Naga people' against the MHA's decision to cancel the FMR between India and Myanmar.

Living Nostradamus had warned of Iran-Israel conflict escalation last year. What are his predictions for rest of 2025?
Athos Salomé, a self-proclaimed psychic often dubbed the "Living Nostradamus" had forewarned that tensions between Israel and Iran would intensify, and recent events have aligned with that vision. According to previous media reports, this Brazilian psychic had indicated in 2023 that violent escalation in the Middle East was imminent—and by 2024, his warnings appeared to be materializing. The situation reached a boiling point in April 2024 when Israel launched an airstrike on an Iranian diplomatic facility in Syria. In retaliation, Iran initiated a major counteroffensive on April 13, deploying hundreds of drones and missiles toward Israel. Although Israeli defenses, bolstered by international support, intercepted most of the missiles, the attack marked a serious turning point in the regional conflict. The psychic described the atmosphere in the region as fragile and entangled in layers of political, religious, and historical tensions. He had earlier suggested that this latest phase of confrontation was only the beginning, not the climax, of what could evolve into a much larger and darker conflict. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kulkas yang belum Terjual dengan Harga Termurah (Lihat harga) Cari Sekarang Undo AI and the Future of War In addition to traditional military threats , the psychic has warned of modern technologies influencing the course of global conflicts. According to earlier statements, artificial intelligence (AI) may play a critical role in how future wars unfold—particularly in the Middle East. He explained that AI could either serve as a force for peace or intensify hostilities, depending on how it is employed by military strategists in both Israel and Iran. This prediction raises concerns over the ethical and tactical use of AI in military applications, especially in high-stakes geopolitical environments. The involvement of intelligent systems in combat decisions adds an unpredictable and potentially dangerous layer to global security. Threat of EMP Warfare and 'Three Days of Darkness' Another chilling part of the psychic's forecast involves the possible use of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons. These weapons, capable of disabling electronic infrastructure, could lead to widespread societal collapse if deployed on a large scale. He mentioned that global powers including the United States, Russia, China, and North Korea may be inching closer to using such technology in future conflicts. Among the most disturbing of his visions is what he terms the "three days of darkness." In this scenario, EMP strikes would knock out power grids, causing massive disruptions in daily life and government operations. If such an event were to occur, it could paralyze entire nations, not just in the Middle East but across continents. Predictions for the Rest of 2025 Looking ahead, the psychic suggests that 2025 may hold even more intense global developments. While details remain vague, he believes that certain world leaders, allegedly guided by esoteric beliefs, are timing major actions with extreme precision. He noted that these figures use occult practices to decide when and how to carry out significant events on the world stage. In earlier predictions, he had indicated that initial tensions might center around control over oil resources, particularly under the leadership of the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. But as the year progresses, he anticipates broader geopolitical shifts, driven not just by politics or economy but also by hidden ideological forces.
