Telangana govt to formulate action plan to become destination for automobile, EV sectors
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Nov 10 (IANS) The government of Telangana is formulating a strategic action plan to establish the state as a premier investment destination in the country for the automobile and electric vehicle (EV) sectors, with the primary objective of attracting substantial investments into the state. The state aims to attract major investment in the automobile and EV sectors at the 'Invest Telangana Global Summit - 2026' scheduled to be held next month. As part of the preparations for the event, the first meeting of the newly constituted executive council for the automobile and EV sectors will be held on Wednesday. Minister for Transport and BC Welfare Ponnam Prabhakar will chair the meeting, which will be held in a hybrid format (both online and offline). Following outreach to prominent companies, industrial organisations, industry experts, and key stakeholders in the automobile and EV sectors, about 25 entities have agreed to participate in this council, an official release said. During this meeting, Minister Ponnam Prabhakar will have direct discussions with industrialists and representatives from companies in the automobile and EV sectors. He will gather insights regarding their interest in investing in Telangana, their investment proposals, ongoing projects, industrial expansion plans, and future development opportunities. The minister will seek suggestions and advice from these industry leaders on issues like manufacturing of automobiles and electric vehicles, development of EV charging infrastructure, battery technology, clean mobility, and the integration of advanced technologies within the transport sector. The objective of the meeting is to understand the interest of companies in investing in Telanganas automobile and EV sectors, as well as to review their investment proposals, ongoing projects, and industrial expansion plans. It will invite the participation of leading companies and industrial organisations in the Investment Expo, which will be held as part of the 'Invest Telangana Global Summit 2026'. The meeting will gather insights from industry leaders regarding the policy frameworks, infrastructure, and government support required for the development of the automobile and EV sectors. It will also identify key topics for discussion during the dedicated session on the automobile and EV sectors at the global summit. It is also aimed at strengthening coordination between industries and government departments to establish Telangana as a premier investment destination for the automobile and EV sectors.
China 'consistently and deliberately' refusing to grant genuine autonomy to Tibet: Report
Digital Desk | Lhasa, Nov 10 (IANS) If China claims that Tibet is part of China, then it must allow Tibetans to have meaningful control over their culture, religion, language, education and local governance, a report has detailed while stressing that Beijing has consciously, consistently and deliberately refused to grant genuine autonomy to Tibet. The problem is that this vision rests on a fundamental misunderstanding of how the Chinese state views Tibet. The evidence of the past several decades suggests that Beijing has not merely failed to grant genuine autonomy. It has consciously, consistently, and deliberately refused to do so. And after years of failed appeals, negotiations, and proposals, continuing to ask for genuine autonomy increasingly resembles barking up the wrong tree, Khedroob Thondup, nephew of the Dalai Lama, wrote in the 'European Times'. China claims that Tibet has autonomy through the system of egional ethnic autonomy. In the Chinese government white papers, Tibet Autonomous Region is mentioned as an example of minorities which govern their own matter under the framework of the Chinese state. China maintains that people of Tibet participate in local administration while remaining under the leadership of the central government. Chinese official documents have consistently said that autonomy exists under that framework only, the report mentioned. Many Tibet supporters believe that China could eventually be convinced to adopt a more flexible interpretation of autonomy. However, this assumption ignores core political philosophy of Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP is not building a federal state and it does not consider regional self-government as an intrinsic democratic good. Instead, the legitimacy of CCP relies heavily on centralised authority, political unity and full control over what it describes as sovereign territory. From China's perspective, genuine autonomy for Tibet is not an administrative question but a security question. Chinese leaders have long expressed fear that meaningful local control could lead to a political identity different from the Chinese national identity promoted by the state, the report in European Times stated. If Tibetans have control over religion, education, historical narratives, cultural policy and local governance, China fears that Tibet's demands for greater self-determination could eventually follow. In September, thousands of Tibetan protesters marched through Washington protesting against Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to the US, carrying Tibetan flags and placards with slogans that read, Xi Jinping is guilty of genocide and Tibet was never a part of China, another report had cited. It noted that the demonstration brought together a broader coalition of Uyghur, Southern Mongolian, Chinese democracy, Taiwanese, Burmese, Falun Gong and Chinese Christian groups that have suffered under the Chinese Communist Party. The protest took place during Chinese President Xi Jinping's State visit to the US. More than 3,000 Tibetans gathered to protest Xis visit to the White House, in what organisers described as the largest-ever Tibetan rally in North America, organised by the Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC) with support from other Tibetan activist groups, according to the report in online magazine The Diplomat. The protesters came with demands that they said should be part of the China-US relationship: that Trump raise human rights with Xi, that China release political and religious prisoners, and that Tibetans be allowed to preserve their language and culture. The group also demanded the repeal of Chinas new Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, which took effect in July and promotes what Beijing calls a shared sense of identity among Chinas 56 ethnic groups, the report mentioned.

Anker Launches Eufy Security Cam With Auto-Tracking Light
Anker today launched the Eufy TrackLight Cam S1 , which it says is the world's first outdoor security camera with an auto-tracking light for actively deterring intruders. The TrackLight Cam S1 is compatible with Apple Home when using the Anker HomeBase, so it can be used alongside other smart home devices in a HomeKit setup. When a suspicious person is detected, the camera locks on and follows them with a light from up to 12 meters (40 feet) away. The light adjusts with distance, narrowing when someone is far away and broadening as they approach. The camera has 355 degrees of horizontal rotation and can track movement up to 87 degrees per second. An optional tracking deterrence mode activates the light and a 105-decibel siren at the same time, plus there is a red and blue flashing light mode as an additional deterrent. The camera records in 4K with 10x digital zoom and night vision to show strangers in the dark. There is a 120-degree floodlight that works alongside the TrackLight, and dual radars offer 180-degree detection up to 40 feet. A Family List in the app allows the homeowner to set known people, so they get a soft, welcoming light as they approach. The feature detects a known phone's Bluetooth. There's a 15,000mAh battery and a 5.5-watt solar panel for continuous operation, and IP65 dust and water resistance offers protection from the elements. There is no built-in storage, and users will need to add a microSD card or connect to the HomeBase. No subscription is required. Anker also recently launched its Window Camera E10, a 2.5K resolution camera with anti-reflection and 25 degrees of tilt. It's designed to be put in a window, covering a yard, driveway, or entry without needing to be outdoors. The TrackLight Cam S1 can be purchased from Anker or from Amazon.com for $300. The Window Camera E10 is $80 from Anker or from Amazon.com . A bundle with the HomeBase is priced at $500 . Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Anker.

Apple Plans to Bring Autonomous Capabilities to Siri AI, Overhaul iOS 28 Approach: Report
Apple plans to turn Siri AI into an autonomous agent that will be able to take more actions on a user's behalf. The iPhone maker reportedly wants to bring similar capabilities to the AI assistant as OpenAIs Dots, Metas Muse, and Grok from Elon Musks SpaceXSI. OpenAI, Meta, and AI labs position their respective AI agents as an AI companion that can run in the background and take actions for the user when required. Users can also hand over tasks, allowing the AI agents to do repetitive and monotonous tasks for the user. Apart from this, the report highlights that Apple has overhauled its development strategy for its next-generation iOS and iPadOS updates. The company has split its OS development into three stages, namely M1, M2, and M3, with each stage spanning eight weeks. The M1 stage is divided into two four-week sprints. However, the tech giant has reportedly asked its software engineers to code, explore, and develop features for six weeks for the iOS 28 update and to converge for two weeks at the M1 stage.

J&K auto retail falls 28.5% in October; 2-wheeler sales plunge 34%
Srinagar, Nov 7:Automobile retail in J&K witnessed a sharp contraction in October 2026, with total vehicle registrations declining by 28.50 per cent year-on-year and 6.50 per cent month-on-month, reflecting subdued consumer demand across most vehicle categories. According to the October 2026 retail data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), total automobile retail in the Union Territory stood at 19,856 units, compared to 27,771 units in October 2025, marking a decline of 7,915 units. The month-on-month performance was also negative, with registrations falling from 21,234 units in September 2026 to 19,856 units in October, representing a contraction of 6.50 per cent. The downturn was primarily driven by a sharp decline in two-wheelers and passenger vehicles, which together accounted for the bulk of the overall contraction. The two-wheeler segment, traditionally a major contributor to automobile retail in the region, recorded a decline of 34.10 per cent, with sales falling to 10,472 units in October 2026 against 15,890 units in the corresponding month last year. Passenger vehicle retail also remained under pressure, registering a year-on-year decline of 27.98 per cent. Registrations in the segment fell to 6,488 units from 9,009 units in October 2025, translating into a reduction of 2,521 vehicles. The commercial vehicle segment recorded a relatively moderate contraction of 3.73 per cent, with retail declining to 930 units from 966 units a year earlier. Tractor registrations also remained in negative territory, falling by 12.04 per cent to 336 units in October 2026 compared to 382 units in October 2025. However, two categories bucked the broader downward trend. Three-wheeler retail registered a growth of 6.21 per cent, increasing to 1,590 units from 1,497 units in October 2025. Construction equipment emerged as the fastest-growing category in percentage terms, recording a 48.15 per cent increase, although on a relatively small base. Registrations in the segment rose to 40 units from 27 units in the corresponding month last year. Commenting on the October performance, Sanjay Aggarwal, Chairperson of the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), J&K, said the industry had not achieved the retail targets set for the month, with registrations declining both annually and compared to September. He said Octobers performance reflected a relatively cautious phase for the automobile industry in J&K, with the sharper year-on-year contraction indicating that demand recovery remained uneven across vehicle categories. Festive periods traditionally play an important role in driving automobile sales. However, this year, the timing of purchases and delivery schedules appears to have influenced Octobers retail numbers. We remain hopeful that deferred purchases will translate into improved retail activity in the coming weeks, Aggarwal said. He observed that consumer sentiment remained an important factor influencing automobile demand in the Union Territory. While customers continued to show interest in personal mobility and vehicle upgrades, purchasing decisions were increasingly being influenced by affordability, financing options and prevailing economic conditions. According to Aggarwal, these factors were shaping buying behaviour across vehicle categories, with consumers exercising greater caution before committing to purchases. Despite the overall contraction, Aggarwal identified the growing acceptance of electric vehicles as a positive development for the automobile industry in J&K. He said increasing consumer interest in electric mobility reflected a gradual shift in purchasing preferences, adding that improved charging infrastructure, wider product availability and greater consumer awareness would be important in accelerating EV adoption in the region. The industry, he said, remained hopeful that improvements in the supporting ecosystem would strengthen the electric vehicle market in the coming months. Looking ahead, the FADA J&K Chairperson expressed cautious optimism about the automobile retail outlook, identifying the upcoming festive and marriage seasons as potential drivers of renewed demand. He said periods such as Dhanteras, Diwali and the marriage season traditionally witnessed increased consumer spending and higher demand for personal mobility, particularly in the passenger vehicle and two-wheeler segments. Dealers across Jammu and Kashmir, he added, were preparing to cater to the anticipated increase in customer enquiries and showroom footfall. Aggarwal said attractive product offerings, financing options and festive campaigns by manufacturers and dealerships could further support purchasing activity. We are hopeful that the combination of the festive and marriage seasons can help the industry regain momentum and improve retail performance in the coming months, he said.

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.

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.
