An hours-long high-voltage situation at Aarkatipur's Bajar Tilla ended on Saturday evening (April 11) after Swapan Sarkar, who had climbed atop a water tank tower with a machete (dao), was safely brought down by his nephew.

Despite the presence of SDRF and NDRF teams, rescuers were unable to climb up due to safety concerns as Sarkar was allegedly threatening anyone who approached him. The situation was finally resolved when his nephew, wearing a helmet, climbed the tower, convinced him to throw down the machete, and brought him down safely.

Family members stated that Sarkar is mentally unstable and often runs away from home, adding that he has previously been found sleeping in the jungle or walking along bridge railings, putting his life at risk.

However, Sarkar claimed that he was being tortured by his family and alleged that they do not provide him with food.
Authorities are expected to look into the matter further.

He was sent to the hospital for treatment.

Govt Boys’ School Principal Blames Phone Addiction, Lack Of Parental Support For Poor HSLC Result

Following the dismal HSLC 2026 results, in which only 1 out of 29 students passed from Government Boys’ Higher Secondary School, the school principal, Parbin Sultana Laskar, has attributed the poor performance to excessive mobile phone use and a lack of cooperation from parents.

Speaking on the issue, Laskar said that many students are addicted to mobile phones, which has significantly affected their studies. She also alleged that parents and guardians failed to support the school’s efforts, particularly by not ensuring students attend the additional classes arranged by the institution.

“We arranged extra classes for students, but many did not attend. There is also very little cooperation from parents,” she said, adding that without collective effort, improving results will remain a challenge.

The school recorded a pass percentage of just 3.45%, drawing attention across the district amid Cachar’s overall poor performance in the HSLC examination this year.
