<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. <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=kazirangaaccident nis:value=KazirangaAccident nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=rangajan nis:value=Rangajan nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=himantabiswasarma nis:value=HimantaBiswaSarma nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=roadsafety nis:value=RoadSafety nis:enabled=true nis:link/> AssamNews

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.

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=ghanakantagogoi nis:value=GhanakantaGogoi nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=assamnews nis:value=AssamNews nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=assampolice nis:value=AssamPolice nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=encountercase nis:value=EncounterCase nis:enabled=true nis:link/> Justice GuwahatiNews
<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.

Recounting the terrifying moments, Pathak revealed how he tried to escape but was chased and shot in the back. His account brings to light the horrifying sequence of events that unfolded inside the hotel, leaving him with both physical injuries and deep emotional scars. 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. <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=guwahati nis:value=Guwahati nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=bilasinn nis:value=BilasInn nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=assamnews nis:value=AssamNews nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=breakingnews nis:value=BreakingNews nis:enabled=true nis:link/> Barpeta
