Zubeen Garg Death: Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival postponed as Assam mourns its cultural icon

In the wake of the tragic demise of Assam’s celebrated singer Zubeen Garg, the organisers of the Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival (BVFF) have announced the postponement of its 10th edition. The film festival, originally scheduled for December 4-7, 2025, will now be held in 2026, as a gesture of respect during a period of collective mourning. According to the festival statement, “It is with a heavy heart that the 10th edition of the Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival, originally scheduled for December 4-7, 2025, has been postponed to a later date in 2026. This decision comes as Assam mourns the loss of its most beloved cultural icon Zubeen Garg, whose voice and vision defined generations. BVFF stands in solidarity with the people and the creative community.”They further added, “As a festival deeply rooted in the cultural and emotional fabric of this land, we feel it is only right to pause our celebrations this year, in remembrance and respect. We are deeply grateful to our filmmakers, partners, and audience for their continued support and understanding. Refunds for all submissions will be processed in due course. BVFF Team.”The decision has resonated deeply in Assam, where Zubeen Garg was considered more than an artist he was a symbol of cultural pride. His passing earlier this year in Singapore has triggered widespread grief, protest, and intense scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding his death. Meanwhile, the legal and investigative fronts have seen swift actions. Authorities have arrested five individuals including the festival organiser, Garg’s manager, his cousin (a police officer), and his security personnel and sent them into 14-day judicial custody. Tension flared outside Baksa District Jail when crowds gathered and reportedly hurled stones and sandals at the police convoy, with several vehicles in the vicinity set ablaze. The BVFF organisers’ move to defer the festival underscores the magnitude of the loss: the creative community in Assam is not simply pausing an event, but collectively mourning a figure whose legacy transcended the stage. More details on the rescheduled dates and refunds are expected in the coming months. Also Read : Zubeen Garg’s manager arrested in singer’s death caseb.

Don’t put anything between your MacBook screen, including webcam covers

If you’re worried about privacy, a webcam cover could make sense. But it could also break your MacBook’s screen, and built-in macOS and hardware features mean that you don’t need one anyway.Your MacBook’s display is thin, and easily damagedYou’ve probably seen webcam covers in the wild, even if you’ve never used one yourself. They’re little accessories that clip over the front of a laptop’s screen, hiding the camera above the display in the process.The theory is simple. Nobody can remotely access the webcam — and see your surroundings — because all they’ll see is the webcam cover itself. But those covers add bulk, which is as problem.
