Black curtains on autos under traffic police scanner
Srinagar: In a move aimed at strengthening passenger safety and addressing security concerns, Traffic Police City Srinagar on Friday conducted a special enforcement drive against auto-rickshaws fitted with black curtains and opaque window coverings. The drive was conducted under the supervision of SSP Traffic City Srinagar, Bisma Qazi, along with her team, during which action was taken against drivers found using black curtains and unauthorised coverings that obstruct visibility inside auto-rickshaws. Speaking to Rising Kashmir, SSP Bisma Qazi said the enforcement action was primarily being carried out from a security and passenger-safety perspective, emphasising that opaque black curtains create visibility gaps and make it difficult to monitor activities inside vehicles. Our primary concern is the safety of passengers. We asked drivers to remove these black coverings. Some drivers cited the onset of winter and cold weather as a reason for keeping them. We advised them to install transparent sheets instead, so that the interior remains visible from both inside and outside, she said. Qazi appealed to auto-rickshaw drivers to avoid using opaque black curtains, adding that transparent sheets could provide protection from cold weather without compromising visibility. She also raised concerns over overloading in auto-rickshaws, warning that carrying passengers beyond the permitted capacity increases the risk of accidents, particularly during winter when slippery road conditions can make vehicles more vulnerable to losing balance and overturning. Highlighting the impact of the department's road-safety initiatives, the SSP said traffic police were simultaneously focusing on enforcement and public awareness to improve road discipline across Srinagar city. Alongside enforcement drives, we are also conducting awareness programmes in schools, colleges and universities to sensitise students and the general public about road safety, she said. She added that through sustained enforcement, awareness campaigns and public outreach, the department was gradually witnessing a visible improvement on the ground, including a decline in road accidents in Srinagar city. The Traffic Police reiterated its appeal to auto-rickshaw operators to follow prescribed safety norms, avoid overloading and refrain from using opaque coverings that compromise passenger visibility and safety.

Bob Dylan presents copy of his autobiography to Pope Leo XIV
Digital Desk | Los Angeles, Nov 6 (IANS) Music legend, Bob Dylan recently met Pope Leo XIV, who had a private audience with the singer. The veteran singer is in Rome ahead of his Rough and Rowdy Ways concert at the Palazzo dello Sport on Thursday. He squeezed in some time, and paid a visit to the Pope's official residence, the Apostolic Palace, for a brief meeting. The 85-year-old folk legend handed over a copy of his autobiography, Chronicles: Volume One to the Pope. The pair posed for photographs, with the Popes all-white outfit contrasting starkly with Dylan's black ensemble. The meeting was arranged with the help of a Vatican official who also helped set up the pope's encounter with Patti Smith earlier this year. He took to his X, formerly Twitter, and shared a picture of the two. He wrote, Today, I had the privilege and the joy of accompanying #BobDylan to meet Pope Leo, together with Andrea Monda. It was hard not to feel the emotion of being part of an encounter that had a real sense of history about it, with the feeling that, at every step through the Apostolic Palace, absolutely anything could happen. Carlo Feltrinelli and Susan Pullman were also with us. On July 31, Pope Leo had met with Patti Smith. Im writing about it in LOsservatore Romano, he added. Pope Leo previously referenced Dylan in the preface to a book titled Disarmed and Disarming: Peace Is a Gift, quoting the singer's unreleased track Go Away You Bomb. The track was written amid the Cold War in 1963 but never recorded. Its lyrics were discovered in 2013 and put up for auction, when they were seen for the first time. This isn't the first time the Like a Rolling Stone singer has met with a head of the Catholic Church. In 1997, he was invited to perform in front of Pope John Paul II and about 300,000 young people for the 23rd National Eucharistic Congress in Bologna.

Auto dealers expect strong Dhanteras sales as demand remains robust
Automobile dealers expect strong Dhanteras sales today, with demand holding up across two-wheelers, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, while supply constraints in electric vehicles are likely to limit deliveries in some segments. Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) President Sai Giridhar said the overall market sentiment was positive, with demand remaining strong across vehicle categories. Overall, it is a strong demand. And all segments put together, be two-wheelers, four-wheelers, commercial vehicles, all segments are going strong. Though probably in electric vehicles -- two-wheelers or four-wheelers -- you can see some supply constraints, he said. Auto dealers said the festival calendar, with Dhanteras on November 6 and Diwali on November 8, placed a major retail sales period within the month. According to them, vehicle registration trends during the festival season have been encouraging so far. Entered November with optimism. FADA's online members'

Auto retail sales fall 23.8% in October to 3.172 million units: Fada
India's automobile retail sales declined 23.8 per cent year-on-year to over 31.72 lakh units in October this year on a high base, with a decline in two-wheeler and passenger vehicle registrations, according to data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). The drop reflects Dhanteras and Diwali falling in November this year, while both Navratri and Diwali were in October last year, with strong pent-up demand post the GST cut. Two-wheeler retail sales fell 28.35 per cent to 23.21 lakh units, while passenger vehicle sales dropped 4.23 per cent to 5.08 lakh units during the month. October is India's largest retail month of the year, and this year it must be read with the calendar firmly in mind, said FADA President Sai Giridhar, adding that the year-on-year decline is almost entirely optical. Last October was an exceptional month that carried both Navratri and Deepawali together, over and above the pent-up demand released after the GST 2.0 rate cuts of 22nd ...
Guwahati hotel firing: Body of accused handed over to family after autopsy
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Nov 6 (IANS) The body of Ghanakanta Gogoi, the prime accused in the Guwahati hotel firing case that claimed five lives, was handed over to his family following a post-mortem examination at the Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH) in Dibrugarh, officials said on Friday. The autopsy was conducted in the presence of forensic medicine experts from three medical institutions, in keeping with the prescribed procedures for cases involving deaths in police custody. Gogoi, 34, was killed in a police encounter in Assam's Sivasagar district early on Wednesday. Police had claimed that he attempted to escape from custody while being taken to Sivasagar in connection with another case. An AMCH official said the post-mortem was delayed due to the time required to coordinate the presence of forensic experts from three different medical colleges. The examination continued for more than three hours. After the completion of the procedure, the body was brought out of the Forensic Medicine Department and handed over to Gogoi's family at around 7.10 p.m. The family later left for their residence with the body. The encounter occurred in the Gaurisagar area at around 3.10 a.m. on Wednesday. Gogoi had completed seven days in police remand in connection with the hotel firing case and was sent to judicial custody by a local court on Tuesday. Hours later, he was arrested from Guwahati Central Jail in connection with a separate bank fraud case registered in 2024. Gogoi, the leaseholder of Hotel Bilas Inn, was arrested after the October 26 shooting at the hotel in Guwahati's Bora Service area along GS Road. Five members of the Bharali family and a staff member were killed when gunfire erupted at the hotel, while the family's driver sustained injuries. Police alleged that a dispute over the management and use of the property led to the violence. According to police, disagreements had surfaced after Gogoi undertook renovations at the property. A meeting was scheduled on October 26 to settle the dispute, but an argument allegedly turned violent, following which Gogoi opened fire. The Assam Police had formed a six-member Special Investigation Team to probe the killings. The bereaved family had described the attack as premeditated and demanded stringent action against those responsible.

Indias auto sector industrial leasing hits 5.4 million sq ft as manufacturers scale up: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) India's automotive and ancillary sector leased around 5.4 million sq ft of industrial space between 2024 and the first half of 2026, accounting for nearly 13 per cent of the country's built-up industrial demand during the period, a report said on Wednesday. According to a CBRE report, domestic companies remained the biggest drivers of demand, contributing 57 per cent of industrial space absorption, while occupiers from the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 26 per cent and those from Europe, the Middle East and Africa contributed 15 per cent. City-wise, Pune emerged as the largest market for automotive industrial leasing with a 28 per cent share, followed by Delhi-NCR at 25 per cent and Chennai at 20 per cent. The report noted a growing preference among automotive companies for larger and more advanced manufacturing facilities. Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO, India, South-East Asia, Middle East and Africa, CBRE, said India's automotive manufacturing base is becoming more diversified, with domestic demand providing scale while stronger exports, EVs and advanced components broaden the sector. He added that as manufacturers plan larger, more technologically advanced facilities, competitiveness will depend on industrial land, reliable infrastructure and utilities, skilled talent, supplier networks and logistics connectivity. During the first half of 2026, leases for facilities measuring between 100,000 sq ft and 200,000 sq ft accounted for 46 per cent of total industrial space take-up, while facilities larger than 200,000 sq ft contributed another 38 per cent, according to the report. Together, large-format facilities represented 84 per cent of industrial leasing in the sector. Moreover, the report showed that vehicle production touched 35 million units in FY26, while automotive exports rose 14.7 per cent year-on-year to about $26 billion The sector currently contributes nearly half of India's manufacturing GDP, it added. CBRE said stronger domestic demand, rising exports, electric vehicle manufacturing and growing production of advanced components are broadening India's automotive manufacturing base and influencing location choices for new facilities. On the warehousing front, the automotive and ancillary segment leased about 12.4 million sq ft between 2021 and the first half of 2026. Chennai led warehouse leasing with a 29 per cent share, followed by Delhi-NCR at 22 per cent and Bengaluru at 14 per cent. Meanwhile, tyre manufacturers, passenger vehicle makers and component suppliers collectively accounted for more than two-thirds of warehouse demand during the period, according to the report.

The Autopilot Paradox: When Your Phone Starts Paying For You
TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY Imagine telling your phone, Order the monthly groceries and pay for them. You go back to your tea. The phone does the rest. India is getting ready for exactly this. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which runs UPI, is reportedly working on a system that would let AI assistants pay on your behalf. It sounds like pure convenience. But it raises an old question in a new form: if the machine makes a mistake with your money, who pays? What is being planned In July 2026, Business Standard reported that NPCI is building a Unified Agent Protocol. In simple terms, it is a way to register an AI assistant, check that it really works for you, and set limits on what it can do. The reported plan keeps the existing UPI system as it is and adds a new layer of checks on top. The scale is huge. NPCI data reported by StartupTalky shows UPI handled about 24 billion transactions in September 2026, worth roughly 29.4 lakh crore. Most daily life in India now runs through it. The first use, according to an unnamed payments executive quoted in the same report, will probably be small, repeat purchases such as groceries. No spending limits have been published yet. Who pays when the assistant gets it wrong Here is the catch. The report says NPCI would only check that a payment request is genuine. It would not see what is being bought. So if your AI assistant orders the wrong thing, or is tricked into paying a fraudster, the payment system may see nothing unusual. You did give it permission, after all. The law points the same way. A LiveLaw article from September 2026 explains that under the Indian Contract Act, an AI has no legal standing of its own. Responsibility goes back to the person or company that deployed it. The Data Security Council of India (DSCI) reached a similar view in a guide reported on 30 October. It says companies that control their AI systems closely cannot easily blame outsiders when things go wrong. Why Kashmir should pay attention Digital payments are everywhere in our markets, and so are the tricks around them. A Kashmir Reader study from July 2026 spoke to 102 shopkeepers in Srinagar and Anantnag. More than half had met payment spoofing, where a customer shows a fake success screen and walks off with the goods. Over 90 per cent did not know the official channels for reporting cyber fraud. If a fake screen can fool a careful shopkeeper, we should ask how well a machine will do under pressure. That is my own concern, not something the report found. Still, it is fair to ask before the system launches, not after. For shopkeepers, the lesson today is simple. Wait for the bank alert or soundbox confirmation before handing over goods. Report fraud on the national helpline, 1930. Bottom Line AI payments may well make life easier. But convenience moves risk quietly from the system to the user. Before we hand our phones the keys, we should know the limits on spending, who can reverse a wrong payment, and who answers when it goes wrong. Those details have not been announced yet, and that gap is worth watching. (The Author studies Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA.

YouTube For Android Auto: Google Delays Release And Keeps Drivers Waiting
During the Android Dev Summit , Google confirmed that YouTube is coming to Android Auto soon, though no concrete timeline was provided. Despite earlier indications pointing to a release before the end of the year, the lack of even a beta version or official launch date as October comes to a close means drivers will have to exercise more patience. Googles development efforts appear heavily focused on Android Automotive , the native in-vehicle operating system that already features working video apps and browsers in testing. Meanwhile, Android Auto which projects a users smartphone onto the car displayremains further down the development pipeline. Image: 9to5Google When it finally launches, YouTube playback in vehicles will be restricted to parked vehicles, serving as entertainment during stationary periods like charging or waiting in lines. Once the car is put in motion, the application will automatically switch to background audio playback for YouTube Premium subscribers. According to 9to5Google , progress is also underway for the Cars App Library , which introduces fresh tools for audio, calling, and messaging, though these updates have yet to reach the general public. In the interim, some drivers utilize third-party workarounds like Fermata Auto , despite their known drawbacks regarding system stability and vehicle integration.

India's strategic autonomy key to building independent global partnerships: Delhi LG at JGU lecture
Digital Desk | Sonipat, Nov 3 (IANS) We are living through a period of significant geopolitical transformation. The international order is being reshaped by strategic competition, regional conflicts and a growing contest over economic and resource security. Countries are reassessing their partnerships. They are diversifying their supply chains and looking for reliable economic and strategic partners in this changing environment, said Sardar Taranjit Singh Sandhu, the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, who was speaking at a distinguished public lecture on the theme Indias Role in Evolving Geopolitics at O.P. Jindal Global University. We have the scale of a major economy, the demographic strength of a young nation, growing technological capabilities, and established relationships across different centres of global power. More importantly, we have the ability to engage with countries that may not necessarily agree with one another. Indias foreign policy has always been guided by the pursuit of national interest. Strategic autonomy gives us the freedom to assess international developments independently, develop partnerships and take decisions based on our national priorities, said Sardar Taranjit Singh Sandhu. What is particularly significant is that Indias partnerships are not limited to any one country or grouping. We engage with the United States, Europe, Russia, Japan, Australia and countries across the Global South. This gives India a distinctive diplomatic reach at a time when international relationships are becoming more complicated. The ability to maintain meaningful engagement with different players is itself a strategic asset. The current global situation has reinforced this importance. Conflicts, economic uncertainty, and disruptions to energy and supply chains are affecting countries across continents. The world is looking for dependable partners that can contribute to stability in critical sectors, provide economic opportunities, and help manage the consequences of geopolitical disruptions. India has both the capacity and the credibility to play a larger role, the Governor explained. This is particularly relevant during periods of crisis, when communications between countries become more difficult. Indias ability to maintain relationships across different geopolitical groupings can create opportunities for engagement, protect our interests, and contribute to addressing wider international challenges. Ultimately, Indias geopolitical influence will depend on how effectively we translate our strengths into capabilities. We need continued investment in education, research, infrastructure, defence, manufacturing, energy security, and advanced technology. Another important dimension is Indias relationship with the Global South. Many developing countries are seeking affordable technology, reliable healthcare, infrastructure investment and access to international markets. We can share our expertise, facilitate technology partnerships, and help build capabilities rather than merely provide assistance, drawing on our engagement with major powers and our credibility across developing economies, he further elucidated. India must approach this moment with ambition, confidence and a clear understanding of its national interests. Our role should not be confined to adapting to the decisions of others. We must participate in shaping the rules, institutions, technologies and economic partnerships that will define the international order in the years ahead. Indias opportunity is not simply to find its place in the emerging world. It is to help shape that world! the Lt. Governor concluded. Welcoming the Lt. Governor, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, the Founding Vice Chancellor, O.P. Jindal Global University, said, We are very privileged to welcome Sardar Taranjit Singh Sandhu not only because he holds the distinguished position of the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, but also because he has been a witness, a participant and an active player in shaping the geopolitics of what we are seeing today. He is a distinguished public intellectual who has made significant contributions to global policymaking as an Indian Foreign Service officer and served with distinction as Indias ambassador to the United States. He comes with vast experience of looking at societies and contributing to the relationships that India has built with many countries, including the United States, where the foundations of the relationships early strength and evolution were indeed laid down by our distinguished chief guest. In fact, the India-US relationship has been possible to a large extent because of the leadership of our chief guest at a critical time and juncture in its history. The Vice Chancellor also announced the launch of the inaugural World Ideas Forum 2027, conceived by O.P. Jindal Global University, and said, Our vision is now to be a leader in the realm of thoughts and ideas that can shape the future. Why should the Global South only be a consumer of ideas rather than generate them? While we need to partner and collaborate with every country in the world, it is important for us, in India and representing the broader Global South, to play a leadership role in generating ideas and in convening leaders to be able to come up with ideas. Dr. Mohan Kumar, Professor & Dean, Strategic and Office of the JGU Vice Chancellor, and Professor of Diplomatic Practice, who was Indias ambassador to France and is also a former diplomat from the Indian Foreign Service, introduced the distinguished speaker and recalled the time that the Governor had spent as a distinguished diplomat in his various roles across the world.

The Q&A session was moderated by Prof. Ambreen Khan, Adjunct Professor of Practice, and featured a wide-ranging interaction with JGU students focusing on Indias future and geopolitics. The concluding remarks and vote of thanks were given by Prof. Dabiru Sridhar Patnaik, Registrar, O.P. Jindal Global University.
