The Assamese weekly newspaper Asom Bani ceased publication in late 2025 due to financial difficulties exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The seven-decade-old publication, part of the Assam Tribune group, reportedly lost management interest, leading to its discontinuation without an official statement. Asom Bani, which covered significant socio-political events in Assam, had previously been merged as a supplement to Dainik Asom. Its closure reflects broader challenges faced by media houses in the region.
