Fouled waters: On Rajasthan’s river pollution
River pollution from industrial effluents indicates state failure
The Niger State House of Assembly has called for increased military bases in vulnerable communities following a recent deadly encounter between army troops and over 100 suspected bandits along the Zungeru-Tegina road. While commending the military for repelling the attackers and averting a potential massacre, lawmaker Hon. Zubairu Ismail Zanna urged sustained operations and a stronger presence in affected areas.
One soldier was killed and three others injured during the gun battle, and several bandits were neutralised. The lawmaker emphasized the need for a Forward Operating Base to counter the bandits' regrouping and potential attacks, citing the strategic and economic importance of the regions. The Speaker of the House paid tribute to the fallen soldier and offered prayers for the injured.
