<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hailakandi Police have successfully dismantled a major cyber fraud operation operating within the district. Authorities apprehended four individuals accused of running an organized online scam and illegal gambling racket. This decisive action highlights the ongoing efforts by local law enforcement to curb the rising tide of digital crimes in the region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Acting on credible intelligence, the police launched a targeted operation to take down the syndicate. The arrested suspects were allegedly manipulating victims through sophisticated online platforms designed for financial deception and illicit betting. Officials seized multiple electronic devices used to facilitate these illegal activities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The investigation is now entering a crucial phase. Law enforcement agencies have officially initiated a comprehensive money trail investigation to uncover the financial networks supporting this operation. By tracking the flow of illicit funds, Hailakandi Police aim to identify further accomplices and completely dismantle the broader network connected to these cyber criminals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Authorities urge residents to remain vigilant against suspicious online schemes. Citizens are encouraged to report any questionable digital activities to the authorities immediately to help maintain a safe online environment for everyone.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the small village along Laokhowa Road in Nagaon district of Assam a young girl named Puja Saikia is quietly changing lives around her. Without depending on anyone Puja started her own bouquet making workshop from scratch and today her work is inspiring women across the entire state of Assam.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Puja started her journey with just 20 independent women at her workshop and taught them how to make beautiful bouquets with their own hands. She did not just open a business. She opened a door of opportunity for women who wanted to learn something new and stand on their own feet. Women from all across Assam showed interest in her workshop and started joining to learn the art of bouquet making. Since the demand grew so much anyone who wants to join her workshop now has to book their seat in advance.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Her business <strong>Handicrafft Spot</strong> is no longer just a small workshop. Today Handicrafft Spot is a well known name where you can buy bouquets and all types of handmade girls accessories as well. Everything sold here is made by hand with full love and creativity.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Puja has bigger dreams ahead. She is planning to expand her workshop and welcome a much larger number of women in the coming days so that more and more women can learn and earn with dignity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Her story from Laokhowa Road in Nagaon is a true example that a woman with a strong will can build something beautiful from nothing and inspire an entire community around her.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Indian government has temporarily banned the Telegram messaging app to prevent cheating and paper leaks ahead of the NEET UG retest. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology blocked access to the app across India until June 22 following a strict request from the National Testing Agency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Authorities took this strong action because organized cheating networks were using Telegram channels to spread fake question papers and demand massive sums of money from anxious students. Officials also ordered the platform to completely disable its message editing feature until June 30. Fraudsters were heavily misusing this tool to alter old messages with real question papers after the exam to create false proof of early leaks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The testing agency clarified that no real papers are available outside the secure system and urged all candidates to focus on their studies. While acknowledging the temporary inconvenience caused to normal users, the government stated this emergency measure is vital to protect the medical entrance exam.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Renowned Assam wildlife biologist Purnima Devi Barman has been selected as a recipient of the prestigious 2026 Wayfinder Award. Presented by the National Geographic Society and Kia this global honour recognises her outstanding efforts to protect the endangered Greater Adjutant Stork. In Assam this bird is widely known as the Hargila.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Barman earned international acclaim for establishing the Hargila Army. This grassroots initiative mobilised over 20,000 women to safeguard nesting habitats and promote environmental education. The movement also provides sustainable livelihood opportunities through traditional weaving programs that feature stork motifs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Her journey began two decades ago when she realised the misunderstood birds were losing their nesting trees. Instead of relying solely on scientific research she engaged village communities to change public perception and build pride around the species. Today Assam hosts the largest breeding colony of these storks in the world. The local population of the bird has soared past 1800 individuals under her leadership.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 2026 Wayfinder Award celebrates visionaries who develop innovative solutions and address environmental challenges. Barman dedicated this monumental milestone to the memory of her late father. Her success proves that true conservation flourishes when local communities step up to lead the way.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jimmy Donaldson who is famously known as MrBeast has set a massive world record. On June 12 2026 he became the first individual creator to hit 500 million subscribers on his official YouTube channel. This is a very big moment for the internet and his fans worldwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To celebrate this special day MrBeast started a live video so fans could watch the subscriber count in real time. More than 600000 people watched the stream to see him reach this magical number. Just when he was very close to the mark some funny fans unsubscribed to troll him but they quickly joined back to complete the final target.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has been the most subscribed individual creator since 2022. By 2024 his channel also crossed the famous Indian music label T Series. People love MrBeast for his high quality entertainment videos, big scale challenges and great charity works.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the live video he thanked all his followers and promised to keep making amazing content for many more years. This big success proves his pure hard work and deep passion for YouTube.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">India has strongly opposed the recent US Navy attacks near the coast of Oman that took the lives of three Indian sailors. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar spoke directly to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to register a powerful protest. He made it clear that such deadly actions against commercial ships are just not acceptable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tragic incident happened when merchant ships with Indian crew members were targeted by American forces. This has caused deep sadness and anger across the country.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile the Iranian Embassy also strongly criticized Donald Trump for his remarks about the attack. They did not hold back their words and called the US strike brutal and pathetic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Indian government is closely working with authorities in Oman to ensure the safety of other rescued crew members. The loss of innocent Indian lives at sea has raised major worries about the safety of our seafarers working in the region. The government is demanding clear answers and accountability for this terrible tragedy.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Assam government has formally urged the Centre to adopt the principle of geographic equity in public investments for the Northeastern region. During an interactive meeting between NITI Aayog officials and regional leadership, state representatives highlighted that the growth of landlocked states must be evaluated beyond just expenditure efficiency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Officials emphasized that Assam faces heavy structural and logistical disadvantages compared to coastal states. While coastal regions benefit from maritime ports and shorter supply chains, the Northeast remains heavily dependent on a narrow transport corridor. This critical geographic limitation leads to significantly higher infrastructure development costs and inflated freight expenses across the area.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To overcome these natural barriers, the state administration argued that public investment must be strategically distributed to counterbalance regional isolation. Prioritizing geographic equity will serve as a vital mechanism to ensure highly competitive national integration and drive future economic growth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The government further reiterated that as India moves toward long term developmental goals, national progress should be measured not only across population demographics but also across complex terrains. Ensuring robust financial and infrastructural support will help transform the Northeast into a vibrant gateway economy capable of bridging India with wider Asian markets.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Security forces in Upper Assam have launched an aggressive crackdown on local crime rings and illegal operations. In a major breakthrough, Sivasagar police successfully busted an alleged arms trafficking network. A coordinated operation led to the arrest of four individuals suspected of smuggling weapons across the region. Law enforcement authorities recovered incriminating materials from their possession and are currently investigating their broader operational links.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Simultaneously, a high profile extortion attempt was thwarted in Dibrugarh district. Duliajan police detained two local youth leaders belonging to the Tai Ahom Yuba Parishad.<sup></sup> The accused, identified as Ranjit Bora and Prahlad Gogoi, allegedly tried to extort a substantial amount of money from a private contracting firm engaged by Oil India Limited.<sup></sup> Following a formal complaint from the contractor, police acted swiftly to arrest the duo.<sup></sup> Both individuals are undergoing intense interrogation as investigators trace whether they are linked to other oil sector extortion rackets in the region.<sup></sup></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Local authorities emphasized that these back to back operations reflect a zero tolerance policy toward extortion and illegal arms distribution. Security measures have been heavily tightened around essential oil infrastructure and vulnerable public spaces across Upper Assam to ensure safety and prevent further criminal interference.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) executive bureau has officially suspended Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan following an intense 18-month investigation into sexual misconduct allegations involving a female staff member.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties the court’s governing framework announced the suspension after a United Nations oversight report highlighted a factual basis for &#8220;serious misconduct.&#8221; The allegations involve claims of non consensual sexual contact during official missions and at his private residence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The unprecedented move has triggered a major procedural gridlock at The Hague. Khan&#8217;s legal team has fiercely rejected the bureau&#8217;s decision, calling it &#8220;unlawful, procedural unfair and completely unsupported by evidence.&#8221; They argue that the executive bureau is politically overstepping a unanimous conclusion from an independent panel of three judges, who had previously found the UN’s findings inconclusive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ultimate fate of the high profile British barrister known globally for seeking arrest warrants against top international leaders now rests on a high stakes global vote. The ICC will convene a special session of all 125 member states as soon as possible. Overturning his suspension or permanently removing him from office will require a secret ballot majority, meaning at least 63 nations must vote to oust him.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A stunning 21st List A century from senior batter Ruturaj Gaikwad, paired with a resilient half-century by skipper Tilak Varma, anchored India A’s phenomenal recovery against Sri Lanka A in the Tri Series today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Opting to bat first, India A endured a nightmare start. Sri Lanka A&#8217;s new ball attack capitalised perfectly on early moisture, dismantling the top order inside the first five overs. Explosive young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and the aggressive Prabhsimran Singh both fell cheaply to loose shots, leaving India A reeling at a precarious 18 for 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the team in deep trouble, Gaikwad took absolute charge of the innings. Displaying a perfect blend of cautious defense and elegant strokeplay, he systematically dismantled the Sri Lankan bowling attack. He found an ideal partner in captain Tilak Varma, who played a composed, mature knock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The duo stitched together a crucial century partnership that completely shifted the momentum back to the visitors. While Varma rotated the strike efficiently to reach a solid fifty, Gaikwad accelerated at the other end. He brought up a masterful, tournament defining hundred with a crisp boundary through the covers.</p>
