Assam to Launch Dedicated OTT Platform for Regional Content, Announces CM Himanta

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced that the state will launch a dedicated over-the-top (OTT) platform aimed at promoting Assamese cinema, folk music, documentaries, literature, and other regional content.
Sharing the update on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the Chief Minister wrote, "Dear OTT platforms, make some room, Assam's joining the list."

Sarma said the initiative is part of the vision outlined in the Assam Budget 2026, which proposes creating a dedicated digital streaming platform to provide a wider audience for Assam's rich cultural and creative works. Describing it as "a new place to binge stories closer to home," he said the platform will serve as a hub for authentic Assamese storytelling and regional entertainment.

The proposed OTT platform is expected to strengthen Assam's creative industry by giving filmmakers, musicians, writers, and content creators a dedicated space to showcase their work while preserving and promoting the state's cultural heritage.

FIR Complaint Against Assam CM Over Paresh Baruah Portrait Remark

The youth wing of Raijor Dal, led by Gyanashree Bora, has lodged an FIR complaint at Dispur Police Station against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his reported remark suggesting that people "draw a portrait of Paresh Baruah instead of Che Guevara."

Addressing the media after submitting the complaint, Bora said that "no one is above the law" and argued that holding a constitutional office should not place anyone beyond legal scrutiny. She questioned why individuals have allegedly faced stringent action, including arrests under the National Security Act (NSA), for writing poems or expressing views related to Paresh Baruah, while asking whether the same legal standards should apply in this case. She maintained that the law should be applied equally to everyone.

Assam Govt to End Dr Banikanta Kakati Merit Award Scooter Scheme from Next Academic Year

The Assam Government has announced that the distribution of scooters under the Dr Banikanta Kakati Merit Award will be discontinued from the next academic year. Around 18,000 eligible students will still receive scooters this year under the existing scheme.

According to the government, the decision aims to ensure a more equitable distribution of educational support by shifting resources from the scooter programme to expand the Nijut Moina and Nijut Babu schemes, which provide direct financial assistance to students. The move is intended to benefit a larger number of deserving students rather than limiting support based on a fixed merit cut-off.

Formalin Leak in Dima Hasao Jatinga River After NH-27 Tanker Crash

A tanker carrying formalin met with an accident on NH-27 near the Jatinga Bridge, resulting in the leakage of the hazardous chemical into a nearby stream that flows into the Jatinga River. The tragic incident has also claimed one life.

As a precautionary measure, authorities have advised residents living along the Jatinga River—from Jatinga Bridge to Harangajao—not to use river water for the next two days. The advisory applies to drinking, cooking, bathing, washing, irrigation, and providing water to livestock or other animals until further notice.
Formalin is a hazardous chemical that can pose
serious health and environmental risks if contaminated water is used. Authorities are assessing the situation and have urged the public to strictly follow the advisory for their safety.

Residents are requested to share this information with family members, friends, and nearby communities to help prevent any health risks.

Delhi Cabinet Approves New EV Policy 2026 to Boost Electric Mobility

The Delhi Cabinet has approved the new Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026, a major initiative aimed at reducing air pollution and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles in the national capital. The policy will come into effect from July 1, 2026, and remain in force until March 31, 2030.

Under the policy, the Delhi government will invest ₹15,000 crore over the next four years to expand EV charging stations and battery-swapping infrastructure. Electric cars priced up to ₹30 lakh will be exempt from road tax and registration fees, while buyers of electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial vehicles will receive subsidies. Owners who scrap eligible old petrol or diesel vehicles and purchase an EV can also receive incentives of up to ₹1 lakh.

The policy also outlines a phased transition to cleaner transport. From January 1, 2027, only new electric auto-rickshaws will be registered in Delhi. From April 1, 2028, the registration of new petrol and CNG two-wheelers will be discontinued, encouraging a complete shift towards electric mobility. The government says these measures will help cut vehicular emissions, improve air quality, and make Delhi a leader in sustainable transportation.
