The CM further said: "In today's era of minimum govt, maximum governance, Dial 112 will play a key role as a 'one number for all emergency services' facility'."

2 members of new insurgent outfit arrested with explosives in North Tripura: police
The Tripura Police said on Thursday that they arrested two insurgents of the Tripura United National Front (TUNF), a new outfit believed to be operating from hideouts in Assam, and seized explosive materials from them, barely hours before Independence Day. Speaking to a police officer said the TUNF's main aim was to kill police and other security personnel deployed on Independence Day and loot their arms and ammunition. 'On the eve of the Independence Day celebrations, we received specific inputs about a sabotage attempt by a miscreant group having links with a group namely Tripura United National Front (TUNF). The group is still in the formation stage. It has also been planning subversive acts in the Kanchanpur subdivision to get maximum attention on the eve of this Independence Day,' the officer said. He Said the state police's intelligence wing had been closely monitoring inputs from the ground for the past 48 hours in coordination with the North Tripura district police to track the insurgents' movements. The officer said the police laid an ambush on Kanchanpur-Vangmun Road in North Tripura and, around 5.40 pm, caught Sadai Nanda Reang, who hails from Damcherra in the same district, and Dhananjoy Reang of Assam's Hailakandi district. 'High-end explosive materials were recovered from them,' added the officer, who didn't wish to be named. While insurgency has been at an all time low in Tripura, courtesy of en masse surrenders and peace deals signed with the Central Government in the past few years, the new outfit has been trying to gain traction, according to the police. On September 24 last year, three weeks after the Government of India signed a quadripartite memorandum of settlement with the Tripura Government and the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), and the All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF), over 580 cadres of both outlawed insurgent groups surrendered at the headquarters of the Tripura State Rifles' seventh battalion at Jampuijala, 40 km from Agartala, ending their five-decade-long insurgency. Chief Minister Manik Saha then announced that Tripura had turned into an insurgency-free state. Insurgency largely came down during the Left Front Government's rule, when lucrative offers of an instant grant of Rs 1.5 lakh, vocational training, and a Rs 2,000 stipend prompted insurgents to give up arms. Although armed insurgency in Tripura dates back to 1967, when a small outfit called Sengkrak took up arms, the thick of insurgency came in the late '80s, when groups such as the NLFT and the ATTF rose. While most of these have largely been defunct, a small NLFT faction is said to be active in Bangladesh.

Identify masked man, hand case to NIA: BJP leader on Dharmasthla mass burial case
Karnataka Leader of the Opposition R Ashoka on Thursday demanded that the state government disclose the identity of the masked man, who led police to dig at Dharmasthala in search of alleged mass graves, and hand over the probe into the case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).Speaking in the Legislative Assembly, Ashoka alleged that the investigation, launched after a complaint about hundreds of skeletons buried in Dharmasthala, had so far yielded nothing despite spending over Rs 1 crore and using heavy machinery, drones, and modern is this man directing the digging? People say his name is Chinnayya and that he has converted to Christianity. The police give him security, feed him biryani, and follow his instructions. But not even a mouse has been found," he remarked, attacking the Siddaramaiah government over the startling revelations. 20 20 ? . R. Ashoka (@RAshokaBJP) August 14, 2025 He criticised the government, claiming that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed without court orders or official recommendations and that there could be foreign funding and a larger conspiracy behind the episode. "The SIT should not be disbanded but continued, and the NIA should be brought in to uncover the gang behind this," Ashoka came after the key whistleblower in the Dharmasthala mass burial case, in an exclusive interview with India Today, claimed he himself buried 70-80 bodies at one of the 13 sites the plausibility of the masked man's claims, he said it was "unbelievable" that one person could have buried bodies 20 feet deep and carried them alone into the forest."Even digging six feet is difficult. This sounds like a fairy tale," he added, suggesting the excavation site could instead be converted into an agricultural pond for accused the Congress government of "insulting" Dharmasthala's Manjunatha Swami temple and claimed there was a pattern of targeting Hindu religious sites. "Earlier they tried to tarnish Tirupati, Shabarimala, and Shani Singnapur. Now they are trying to spoil Dharmasthala's sanctity," he also cited a separate complaint filed by a woman named Sujata Bhat, who claimed her daughter was kidnapped. "Her own relatives told a TV channel she doesn't even have a daughter, and she is not an MBBS student as claimed. Who is directing such cases?" Ashoka BJP leader concluded by urging the government to show common sense and investigate the masked man's background before spending public money on large-scale excavations. "This looks like a sponsored activity. The people deserve to know who is behind it," he said.- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Karnataka

Chitrakoot link e-way gets govt nod for land acquisition
Lucknow: Clearing another hurdle to expedite development work in Bundelkhand region, state govt gave its go-ahead to UP Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) to spend Rs 188.6 crore on acquiring land required for construction of Chitrakoot Link Expressway. A total of 9.52 hectares private land needs to be aggregated in the Karvi sub-division. On Jul 22, Yogi Adityanath govt cleared a budget of Rs 940 crore for the 15-km long expressway, out of which Rs 188.6 crore will be utilised to acquire last few land parcels before starting civil work. Though the 296-km long Bundelkhand Expressway already connects Etawah to Chitrakoot via Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jalaun and Auraiya, another spur route is being provided in the district to attract investors interested in setting up a unit under the defence corridor or under the integrated manufacturing and logistics cluster, the two flagship schemes floated by UPEIDA for industrial development. Moreover, the link route would also bring down commute time to Karwi, the district headquarters. The authority has surveyed Ranipur Bhatt, Gonda and Ahmadganj villages to scout for the remaining land and put up a proposal before the state to take over the required land parcels. Officials said the spur route would result in increasing vehicular movement on Bundelkhand Expressway as an increased number of motorists from Madhya Pradesh would ply via the 296-km long high-speed corridor to travel within UP and to Delhi and the National Capital Region.
