Among the 11 rescued persons, five were children. They were stranded at different places in the flood-affected district following incessant rainfall.
The false claim surfaced after several posts circulated on social media platforms, including one by an account named Baba Thoka, alleging that Sunita Dwivedi had sought divorce after discovering an alleged relationship between General Dwivedi and his stenographer Anita Yadav.
Colonel Dibya Shankar Bhattacharya (Retd) was recently honoured by the outgoing Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Upendra Dwivedi, with the Chief of Army Staff Commendation Card and Medal at an official ceremony in Tezpur. Col. Bhattacharya served in the Indian Army for more than 33 years. He holds the unique distinction of being the first person from Assam to secure All India Rank 1 in the UPSC National Defence Academy (NDA) examination.
