This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.
It’s the 23rd of January and here are the headlines.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today asked the state police to register a case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for ‘provoking the crowd’ after the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra was stopped by the police in Joarabat on its way to Guwahati. This triggered protests from Congress workers who broke barricades and raised slogans. Congress’s Assam chief Bhupen Borah and party leader Jakir Hussain Sikdar were among those injured amid a scuffle between people taking part in the Yatra and the police as the yatra tried to enter Guwahati. The CM had earlier said the yatra would not be allowed inside Guwahati city as it would cause congestion. This had angered Congress leaders, who accused the BJP government in the state of abusing power to scupper the Congress yatra.

A massive crowd thronged the entrance of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya this morning, keeping the security agencies and the temple management busy. Though the administration had expected a large gathering today following the consecration ceremony led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday, the pilgrims started arriving at the gates around 3 am. By 6 am, the Ram Janmabhoomi Path leading to the temple was full of pilgrims trying to push their way inside.

Leaders across party lines paid tributes to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary today, celebrated as Parakram Diwas. President Droupadi Murmu paid her respects, highlighting Netaji’s unwavering commitment to India’s independence and his enduring impact on the nation’s freedom struggle. Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted people on the occasion and said Netaji's “unwavering dedication to the nation’s freedom continues to inspire”.

At least six people were injured after a Myanmar military aircraft skid off the runway at Mizoram’s Lengpui Airport. The Mizoram Director General of Police (DGP) Anil Shukla said. As many as 14 people were on board the plane along with the pilot. The injured were admitted to Lengpui Hospital.

Canada Immigration Minister Marc Miller is all set to impose a two-year limit on international student admissions. Addressing a press conference at Ottawa earlier on Monday, the minister said this measure will provide both federal and provincial authorities with the opportunity to address a system he deems exploitative of high international student tuition, often resulting in subpar education.
