<nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=assam: nis:value=assam: nis:enabled=true nis:link/> Following the tragic road accident at Rangajan near Kaziranga, which claimed 26 lives, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has raised concerns over the growing pressure on commercial vehicle drivers to overspeed and complete more trips to meet financial obligations.

During his visit to the accident site, the Chief Minister remarked that vehicle owners often pressure drivers to make more trips and earn more due to bank EMI commitments, potentially encouraging dangerous driving practices and increasing the risk of road accidents.

He also stated that the Traveller involved in the accident was allegedly travelling at a very high speed, exceeding the prescribed 40 kmph speed limit in the Kaziranga corridor. According to the CM, the vehicle had 13 previous overspeeding challans.

The Chief Minister further emphasised the need to examine the circumstances that led to the tragic collision. Police are also investigating the possibility of a medical emergency or loss of control by the driver.

The tragedy has once again brought road safety, reckless driving and accountability in the transport sector into focus.

The fire broke out on November 6, triggering an emergency response and medical assistance for those injured. OIL had arranged specialised medical care, including flying a medical specialist from Delhi to Dibrugarh to assess the condition of the victims and guide their treatment.

Following a detailed medical assessment, one of the injured persons was airlifted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi on November 9 for advanced treatment. However, despite sustained medical efforts, the injured persons later succumbed to their injuries, taking the death toll to six.

In the wake of the tragedy, Oil India Limited has increased its previously announced ex-gratia assistance for the families of the deceased from ₹10 lakh to ₹25 lakh per family. Separately, the contractor firm has announced ₹10 lakh for the family of each deceased person and ₹5 lakh for the family of each injured person.

OIL has also stated that it is reaching out to the families of the deceased contractual employees to facilitate the disbursement of assistance and ensure settlement of all applicable statutory dues and benefits. The company further assured that it remains committed to providing medical care to the surviving injured person and extending support to all affected families.

<nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=assam: nis:value=assam: nis:enabled=true nis:link/> A major railway incident was reported in Assam on Wednesday morning (November 11), after the Kolkata–Sairang Express derailed at Digaru Railway Station in Kamrup (Metro) district, on the outskirts of Guwahati.

The incident occurred at around 6:54 AM when Train No. 13125, travelling from Kolkata to Sairang in Mizoram, was being received at the station to give precedence to another train.

According to the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), the locomotive and five coaches went off the tracks after the loco pilot reportedly failed to control the train’s speed. Six units, including the locomotive, were affected.

While initial railway statements reported no casualties or injuries, subsequent media reports indicated that some passengers may have sustained injuries. The exact number and condition of those injured remain unclear.

Senior railway officials, including the General Manager of NFR, rushed to the spot. Relief and restoration operations were initiated, and arrangements were being made to transport passengers to their destinations through an alternative train from Guwahati.

Further details regarding the incident and its cause are awaited.

Fresh questions have emerged in connection with the Ghanakanta Gogoi encounter case, with his brother publicly questioning the circumstances surrounding the police action.

In a statement to the media, Ghanakanta Gogoi’s brother raised a crucial question over the encounter, pointing out that while Ghanakanta was allegedly accused of killing five people, questions also needed to be asked about the circumstances in which he was killed in the encounter.

He questioned whether the same standards of accountability should apply to the police action as well, raising concerns over justice, due process and the circumstances surrounding the incident.

His remarks have once again brought the encounter case into focus, sparking a wider debate over police accountability and the need for transparency in such incidents.

The central question remains: If justice is to be served, shouldn’t every action also be subject to scrutiny under the law?

<nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=assam: nis:value=assam: nis:enabled=true nis:link/> Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said that the state government would bring the proposed gherao of his residence to the notice of the Supreme Court and the Gauhati High Court, citing concerns over the safety of his family.

The Chief Minister described the proposed protest as a serious matter, alleging that it could pose a threat to his family and potentially amount to a direct attempt to murder. He also stated that he had directed the legal department to place the matter before the courts.

The development comes after the Zubeen Garg Nyay Samiti, led by Raijor Dal MLA Akhil Gogoi, announced plans to gherao the Chief Minister’s residence if bail is granted to the two prime accused in the Zubeen Garg case — Shyamkanu Mahanta and Siddhartha Sharma — or if the state government fails to effectively oppose their bail petitions.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the bail petitions of the two accused on November 30.

Meanwhile, CM Sarma reiterated that the government respects judicial decisions and urged people to allow the courts to function without interference. Referring to the Gauhati High Court’s order granting bail to Amritprava Mahanta, he noted that 160 witnesses had not named her during court proceedings, despite having allegedly named her earlier before the Special Investigation Team (SIT).

The matter has brought renewed attention to the ongoing legal proceedings in the Zubeen Garg case, with the upcoming November 30 hearing being closely watched.

Pathak, who worked as the personal driver of the Bharali family, was discharged from Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) after 11 days of treatment.

His return home marks the end of 11 days of hospital treatment, but the survivor’s account offers a chilling reminder of the violence that unfolded that day.
