@JM_Scindia sir, please note: Unprofessional behaviour by @MDoNER_India Last-minute invite, then fake cancellation notice... for an event that wasn't even called off! Reflects poorly on a ministry meant to uplift Northeast India. Is my ethnicity a factor? @X don’t kill this post!

Based on preliminary interim measures taken up by NGT appointed committee when 9000 people were still living in relief, NGT shockingly favoured a polluter to escape liability
The NGT on December 13, 2024, rejected a petition by Assam’s Baghjan blowout victims seeking interim compensation for an oil and gas disaster on a drilling site operated by Oil India Ltd, a government-operated hydrocarbon producer. 🖊️ @yield82

What kind of organisation erases its journalists? It's been a year and a half since I quit as the NE India Correspondent for @Outlookindia. After I left in March 2023, I have discovered that they changed the bylines of 90% of my stories, a blatant injustice to my work.

Last month, the UIDAI unlocked their biometric data, allowing them to get Aadhaar cards, without which many had been deprived of welfare benefits.
