While three universities from the Northeast featured in the top 100 of the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2025, only one college from the region made it to the list—Pachhunga University College, Aizawl.

Ranked 49th this year, the college has consistently secured a place in the NIRF top 100 since 2022. It was ranked 45th in 2022, 34th in 2023, and 35th in 2024. Out of 220 colleges from the Northeast that participated, Pachhunga University College stood out among the 4,030 institutions evaluated nationwide.

Established in 1958 as Aijal College, it is the oldest and largest college in Mizoram by enrolment and campus size. Over the decades, it expanded from offering intermediate arts courses to bachelor’s and later master’s programs, becoming Mizoram’s first postgraduate college.

The chief of a locality of a central Mizoram town has set an example by imposing a penalty on his son for tossing a cigarette butt out of the window of his room.

About 100 km south of the State’s capital, Aizawl, Serchhip aspires to beat Saitual as the cleanest district headquarters in Mizoram. The district is also named Serchhip.

On August 28, the president of the town’s Chhim Veng (locality) issued a notice to his son after neighbours saw him throw the cigarette butt. The son was directed to pay a fine of ₹20 to the area’s treasurer, according to a community resolution.

The penalty was meagre, but was seen as a disciplinary action in line with the stringent cleanliness rules of the town, which happens to be the Assembly constituency of Chief Minister Lalduhoma.

Mizoram’s Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation Department has been conducting an urban cleanliness contest since 2017. Community participation has been the hallmark of this contest, which has helped increase awareness of sanitation and waste management.

Aung San Suu Kyi’s son expresses concern about the health of his mother, calls for her to be freed

Mizzima

Kim Aris, son of Myanmar’s democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, has issued an urgent appeal following deeply distressing reports that his mother’s health has deteriorated significantly while in military detention.

“It is deeply distressing to have heard my mother's health has taken a turn for the worse. She has had ongoing heart complications which have undoubtedly been exacerbated by the conditions under which she is being held. She needs to see, and has asked to see, a cardiologist from outside the prison. I have no way of knowing if this has been granted. This is cruel and life-threatening for her,” Kim said 4 September in a press release.

Aung San Suu Kyi, aged 80, continues to be held in an undisclosed location by the military junta, with no transparency regarding her condition, location, or access to medical care. Her detention without fair trial and without access to adequate health treatment constitutes an extreme violation of human rights and international norms.

Kim emphasized: “She is aged 80 and needs care and most importantly needs to be freed and no longer a political prisoner for standing up for democracy and freedom for her country. It is shocking and shattering for this military junta to hold her without fair trial and with no compassion for her age or health. I ask the world to help me find a path to freedom for her.”

The family urgently calls on: The international community to demand immediate proof of life, medical access, and her unconditional release; human rights organizations to escalate pressure on the Myanmar military junta to comply with international humanitarian standards; governments worldwide to increase diplomatic and public actions in support of Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners in Myanmar. This is a matter of life and death, they say. Aung San Suu Kyi must be freed.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India on Thursday organized the North East Region Minister’s Conference on Civil Aviation at the Dorjee Khandu Auditorium, Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly, Itanagar.

Mizoram Chief Minister Pu Lalduhoma attended the conference along with Union Minister for Civil Aviation Pu Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu, senior officials from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Chairman of the Airports Authority of India, Director General of Civil Aviation Asangba Chuba Ao, IAS, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, and other dignitaries. The programme featured a productive one-on-one interactive session and meaningful exchanges.

During the conference, Chief Minister Pu Lalduhoma highlighted several key demands and issues relating to aviation development in Mizoram:

1. Lengpui Airport Management
The Chief Minister stated that while the Indian Air Force has already submitted its proposal regarding the management of Lengpui Airport, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has not yet presented its formal proposal. He emphasized that the State Government is awaiting a comprehensive proposal from AAI. In response, Pu Vipin Kumar, IAS, Chairman of AAI, informed that discussions are ongoing with the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Civil Aviation, and that a final proposal is expected by late September.

The Chief Minister also conveyed that, under the Mizoram Land Revenue Act, 2013, the airport land could be leased to AAI.

2. Greenfield Airports in Lunglei and Champhai:
The Chief Minister stressed the urgent need for new Greenfield Airports in Lunglei and Champhai districts, which would greatly benefit the local population and strengthen connectivity with the rest of India. He informed that the matter has already been referred to the Ministry of DoNER for a Pre-Feasibility Study.

The Union Minister assured that a study will be initiated within a month.

3. Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS-UDAN):

Beginning October 2025, Pawan Hans Helicopter Services will operate under the RCS-UDAN scheme in Mizoram. The planned routes include Aizawl–Champhai, Aizawl–Lawngtlai, Aizawl–Parva, Aizawl–Silchar, and Aizawl–Churachandpur.

Since the Aizawl–Parva route may not attract enough passengers, the Chief Minister requested the Union Minister to allow this service to be reassigned to other more viable routes. The Union Minister assured that the Ministry would review the matter.

4. Seaplane Services:

The Chief Minister suggested exploring possibilities for introducing seaplane services at three to four potential sites in Mizoram. The Union Minister responded that the Ministry would consider the proposal and conduct a Pre-Feasibility Study.

5. Affordable Fares:

The Chief Minister highlighted the high cost of airfares, especially on the Aizawl–Kolkata route, which affects many passengers. He urged for lower and more competitive fares, as well as an increase in the frequency of flights on the Aizawl–Kolkata and Aizawl–Delhi routes. The Union Minister and his team assured that discussions would be held with IndiGo and other operators.

6. Cargo Hub and Cold Storage Facility at Lengpui Airport:

The Chief Minister pointed out that Mizoram produces a wide range of high-quality horticulture products, but lack of proper export facilities prevents wider marketing. He stressed the need for a Cargo Hub and Cold Storage Facility at Lengpui Airport, which would greatly enhance the marketing of perishable goods. The Union Minister assured that this proposal will be incorporated when AAI takes over Lengpui Airport operations.

At the inaugural session of the Summit, Union Minister Pu Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu and Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pu Pema Khandu delivered their addresses. Following the one-on-one sessions with Ministry officials, there were further interactions with representatives of various aviation companies.

Chief Minister Pu Lalduhoma was accompanied by Pu Lalrohlua, Director, GAD Aviation Wing.

As invited by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh, the Chief Minister will also visit Ziro Valley today. He will be hosted there by Pu Gabriel Wangsu, Agriculture Minister of Arunachal Pradesh.

04/09/2025

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (September 3) said he was yet to implement the second and third phases of sanctions against India, adding that India would have “big problems” if it continued to buy Russian oil.

The statement came during an interaction with the media in the Oval Office, where a Polish journalist asked Trump why he had expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin but not taken any action against him.

Trump, referring to the sanctions against India, said, “That [sanctions] cost hundreds of billions of dollars to Russia, you call that no action? Then I have not done Phase-2 yet or Phase-3… Two weeks ago, I said if India buys, India [will have] big problems, and that’s what happens.”

“But when you say there’s no action, I think you ought to get yourself a new job,” Trump retorted.

Trump also spoke about the SCO summit on Wednesday after the US’s sharp remarks earlier this week on India, China and Russia coming together at the meet. “When they did what they did, I thought it was a beautiful ceremony, it was very impressive, but I understood the reason they were doing it, they were hoping I was watching, and I was watching. My relationship with all of them is very good, and we are going to find out how good it is over the next week or two,” he said.

The water level in the Yamuna River at Delhi's Old Railway Bridge stood at 207.47 metres at 9 am, even as floodwater from the raging river continued to inundate nearby areas and relief camps.

According to official data, the level remained steady between 6 am and 7 am at 207.48 metres.

While the level at 5 am stood at 207.47 metres, it stood at 207.48 metres at 6 am. According to officials, the water level remained static at 207.47 metres between 2 am and 5 am.

Floodwaters reached near Delhi Secretariat, which houses the offices of the chief minister, cabinet ministers and key bureaucrats. The areas in the vicinity of Vasudev Ghat were also flooded. In some low-lying areas like Mayur Vihar Phase I, even relief camps were flooded.

Floodwater also reached Shri Marghat Wale Hanuman Baba Mandir near Kashmere Gate.

"Every year, when the water level of the Yamuna rises, it bathes the idol of Lord Hanuman. This is holy water. We revere it," said a devotee.

The floodwater inundated the Nigambodh Ghat on Wednesday, halting operations. The Geeta Colony crematorium was also flooded. However, Sanjay Sharma, head of the Geeta Colony crematorium, told PTI-Videos they had not shut down operations.

"In 2023, water had entered the cremation ground, and today again it is filled with water, around 10 feet deep. The damage is extensive, as all the wood stored outside has been ruined. We are not receiving any help from the administration," he claimed.

It was a double whammy for Delhiites, as waterlogging due to incessant rainfall over the last couple of days, along with flooding due to the surging Yamuna, led to traffic snarls.

The flood control bulletin issued on Wednesday evening said that the water level of Old Railway Bridge will be 207.48 metres at 8 am and is likely to fall after that.

The Old Railway Bridge serves as a key observation point for tracking the river's flow and potential flood risks.

According to the revenue department, while 8,018 people have been moved to tents, 2,030 have been shifted to 13 permanent shelters.

The government has stressed that there is no need to panic, and it is keeping a round-the-clock vigil on the situation.
