The two injured persons — Tarin Mosu and Biri Tath — were admitted to Ramakrishna Mission Hospital (RKMH) here with hand and head injuries, Capital Superintendent of Police (SP) Tumme Amo said. The debris was cleared and no one else was found trapped under it as had been feared earlier, Home Minister Bamang Felix said after visit- ing the site. Dozens of cars, most of which were parked along the the roadside and inside a nearby garage, were damaged as rocks and boulders rolled down the hill and rammed into them. The highway remained blocked for over five hours at that spot and cars remained stuck on both sides, Amo said. NH-415 is the lifeline for residents in the twin capital cities of Itanagar and Naharlagun, which are 14 kilometres apart, as the road connects the north-eastern state with neighbouring Assam.

akistan’s Sindh Assembly has unanimously Ppassed a resolution demanding that the prac- tice of forced conversions and abductions of Hindu girls must be stopped and action be taken against those involved in such activities. The resolution — moved on Tuesday by Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) lawmaker Nand Kumar Goklani — was supported by the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party as well as Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the hardline Jamaat- e-Islami, the Express Tribune reported. The resolution comes months after the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan in its annual report in April raised concerns about incidents of forced conversions and marriages of Hindu and Christian girls, saying around 1,000 such cases were reported in the southern Sindh province alone last year.   3    !"#$ %
