Nearly 3,000 Myanmar refugees return to their villages from Mizoram
'Nearly 3,000 refugees from Myanmar, who recently crossed the International Border and took shelter in India, have returned to their villages in the neighbouring country,' a senior police officer said on Thursday (July 17, 2025.) 'More than 4,500 refugees from the neighbouring country had entered Mizoram and taken shelter in the border villages of Zokhawthar, Saikhumphai, and Vaiphai in Champhai district, following an armed conflict between Chin rebel groups — the Chin National Defence Force (CNDF) and Chinland Defence Force (CDF-Hualngoram) — backed by the Chin National Army (CNA),' officials said. The refugees belonged to nearby border villages in Myanmar's Chin state. At least 23 dead after airstrike on Buddhist monastery in Myanmar A senior police officer told PTI that a total of 2,923 Myanmar refugees who had taken shelter at Zokhawthar village and 39 others at Vaphai have returned to their country as of Wednesday (July 16, 2025.) He noted that the return of the refugees began on July 7 and gained momentum on July 12, following a ceasefire agreement between the warring Chin factions. 'The situation along the Indo-Myanmar border is calm now,' the officer said, expressing hope that a few more refugees may return in the coming days. Mizoram shares a 510 km-long porous border with Myanmar. More than 20 civilians killed in Myanmar air strike on monastery: witnesses The CNDF and CDF, the two pro-democratic forces fighting against the Myanmar military junta, had engaged in fighting in early July for control of areas, forcing more than 3,000 refugees to flee to Zokhawthar. Subsequently, retaliatory attacks by the CNA, the largest Chin rebel group, on a CNDF camp at Rihli village in Chin state, triggered an additional influx of more than 700 refugees to Saikhumphai and Vaiphai. Mizoram has already given shelter to more than 32,000 Myanmar refugees, who had fled their country following a military coup in February 2021. Four years on, Myanmar and its continuing nightmare The State Government is planning to collect biometric and demographic details of Myanmar refugees in July-end for identification purposes.

Singapore jails Indian student for fatal push of drunk stranger into river
An Indian student in Singapore was sentenced to 35 months in jail for pushing a man into the Singapore River, causing his death by drowning. Prosecutors said 22-year-old Legha Pawan's actions on 30 June last year, which resulted in the death of 33-year-old Jasbir Singh, were unprovoked and carried out without any clear reason. On Wednesday, Pawan was sentenced to two years and 11 months in jail after pleading guilty to a charge of voluntarily causing hurt that resulted in grievous harm. Pawan and Mr Singh were both Indian nationals. They didn't know each other. Singh worked in construction and was married with two young children. The court was told that Pawan had moved to Singapore to pursue his education and was studying at a private school, Birmingham Academy, at the time of the incident. On 30 June last year, Pawan, who had been drinking with friends, returned alone to the riverside and reportedly suddenly shoved Singh – whom he did not know – without provocation. Pawan and his friends had been drinking near Clarke Quay when an argument broke out. Intoxicated, Pawan had to be restrained by a friend, and the group later dispersed, local media reported. Around the same time, Singh, was walking alone along the riverbank. He had been drinking heavily in recent months following his mother's death, CNA reported. At about 10.30pm, Pawan returned alone and approached Singh, drawing the attention of a nearby couple who recognised him from the earlier commotion. Singh fell into the river and drowned. Pawan fled the scene, and changed his clothes to avoid detection. He took a train home and asked a housemate, unaware of the incident, to bring him his backpack at a nearby location. He returned to his flat around 8am the next morning, where he was arrested. During questioning, Pawan claimed he pushed Singh because the older man had grabbed and damaged his bangle and insulted his mother, though there was no evidence to support this, The Straits Times reported.
