Tawang, September 7, 2025:
In a moment of profound spiritual significance, the All Monpa Students’ Union (AMSU) has announced that His Holiness the Great 14th Dalai Lama has graciously accepted their request to grant Tenshug (Long Life Prayer) for the youths of Monyul. The ceremony, being organized under the spiritual guidance of Ven. Lama Nawang Norbu, is scheduled to take place either in the last week of November or the first week of December 2025, with the exact dates to be confirmed by the Office of His Holiness.

This rare opportunity has been received with deep devotion and gratitude across the Mon Region. The offering of Tenshug will symbolize a collective prayer for the long life of His Holiness, along with blessings for peace, unity, and harmony in the land.

Alongside the Tenshug, AMSU will also organize a three-day seminar in Dharamshala dedicated to the students of the Mon Region. The seminar will feature discourses based on the profound teachings of His Holiness, led by Rinpoche’s, eminent scholars, and spiritual masters. It aims to empower Monpa youths with wisdom, values, and cultural understanding while strengthening their connection with the region’s rich Buddhist heritage.

Before finalizing the program, AMSU had placed the proposal before the Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Pema Khandu and the Hon’ble MLAs of the Mon Region. With their kind guidance, support, and blessings, the initiative has taken shape with clarity and confidence.

The forthcoming Tenshug is being hailed as a milestone for the Mon Region—a convergence of faith, culture, and youth empowerment. The people of Monyul are now preparing to come together in devotion and unity to welcome this historic occasion

Jang, 3 September 2025:
This evening, Jang witnessed an unexpected weather disaster as a sudden cloudburst brought torrential rainfall, leading to flash floods across several parts of the town.

Heavy water flow quickly flooded roads and low-lying areas, disrupting normal life and leaving vehicles stranded. Zero Point, Dungse, and the GREF Centre were among the hardest-hit locations, where floodwaters damaged infrastructure and hampered movement.

Though there have been no reports of loss of life, the downpour created panic among residents. Commuters faced hours of uncertainty due to multiple road blockages, while families in vulnerable areas were advised to remain alert.

Local authorities have assured that restoration work will begin as soon as the weather improves. In the meantime, people have been urged to avoid unnecessary travel, stay indoors, and move to safer ground if required.
