Indian gymnastics icon Dipa Karmakar, the only Olympian from the country, has taken up coaching after her retirement in Oct 2024. She is now guiding beginner-level kids at the Netaji Subhash Regional Coaching Centre in Agartala, finding joy in her new role as an 'elder sister' figure to her students.
A powerful explosion at an apartment building in Agartala's Ramnagar Road No. 4 injured several people and caused extensive damage. Emergency teams, including the Bomb Squad, are investigating the cause, which remains undetermined.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seized approximately 17 kg of foreign-origin gold, valued at around Rs 25 crore, in coordinated operations in Kolkata and Agartala. Ten people were arrested in connection with the seizures, which targeted organized gold smuggling networks operating through an international airport and the Indo-Bangladesh border.
