BHEL targets Rs 3,000 crore profit; HMT factory to be revived soon: Kumaraswamy
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 6 (IANS) Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday said Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has set a target of achieving a profit of Rs 3,000 crore, while assuring that steps would be taken to revive the Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT) factory in Karnataka at the earliest. Speaking at the 71st Karnataka Rajyotsava celebrations organised by the BHEL Kannada Protection Committee at the company's premises in Vijayanagar, Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy said BHEL's profit had increased from around Rs 200 crore when he took charge as Union Minister for Heavy Industries to more than Rs 1,500 crore in the current financial year. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the growth of public sector industries under the Central government was encouraging, he said, adding that BHEL was among the strategic manufacturing establishments that had made significant progress and was now firmly moving towards profitability. I am happy to be part of the Karnataka Rajyotsava celebrations being held at an important industrial establishment like BHEL, he said. Highlighting the contribution of Central public sector industries to Karnataka's cultural heritage, Kumaraswamy said such establishments had become an integral part of the state's identity. He pointed out that Kannadigas had been given significant opportunities at BHEL and were occupying important positions, playing a leading role in policy formulation and administration. Recalling the difficult phase faced by BHEL, he said the company had once been heading towards a decline, but corrective measures had prevented further deterioration. From a profit of Rs 200 crore, BHEL has now crossed Rs 1,500 crore. We are working towards achieving a profit target of Rs 3,000 crore. I would like to credit this achievement not to ourselves but to the workers who have put in their hard work, he said. The factory currently employs around 24,000 people, and its workforce should double in the coming years, he added. Referring to HMT's revival, Kumaraswamy said four watches under the HMT Kannada series were released in Bengaluru on November 1, coinciding with Karnataka Rajyotsava. Earlier, HMT watches featuring the Gandabherunda, a symbol of Karnataka's rich heritage, had also been launched. He said the watches had received an encouraging response from Kannadigas and urged people to make HMT watches a part of their daily lives. Young people are standing in queues stretching for kilometres to purchase HMT watches. People across age groups are showing interest in buying and wearing them, he said. Kumaraswamy said efforts were underway to revive the HMT factory and several meetings had already been held to take important decisions in this regard. A committee headed by V.K. Saraswat, a member of the NITI Aayog, had been constituted and its recommendations had been received. A decision on the revival of the factory would be taken at the earliest, he said, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also given several important suggestions and directions on the matter. Padma Shri awardee Vijayalakshmi Deshamane, writer and presenter N.A. Someshwara, Rahul Devaraj and BHEL Kannada Protection Committee honorary president Sa. Ra. Govindu were among those present at the programme.

In the UAE, the show currently ranks No. 1 on STARZPLAY and has remained among the platform's top 10 titles since its streaming debut.

Ramayana review round-up: Ranbir Kapoor-Yash epic rakes in
Highlights: Ramayana: Part One earned approximately 12.3 million worldwide on its opening day. The film collected around 5.16 million net in India on Thursday. Ricky Kej, Shankar and Vivek Oberoi praised the film's visuals and performances. One audience review rated the film 7/10, praising Yash but criticising the pacing of Ram's portions. Salman Khan urged audiences to focus on the story rather than the film's reported 31.8 million budget. The most hyped Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One has made a powerful start at the global box office, earning approximately 12.3 million worldwide on its opening day. Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, the epic has attracted considerable attention, with celebrities, filmmakers and audiences sharing their reactions after watching it. While several prominent names have praised the film's visual scale, performances and music, some viewers believe parts of the storytelling could have been stronger. The film collected approximately 5.16 million in India on Thursday (5), its opening day, according to the figures reported. Its domestic gross stood at around 6.16 million. The Hindi version contributed approximately 3.78 million, followed by Kannada at 576,000, Telugu at 477,000 (Rs 6 crore), Tamil at 207,000 (Rs 2.60 crore) and Malayalam at 119,000. The film's second-day performance was also drawing attention. According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Ramayana: Part One had collected approximately 2.39 million net in India by 7pm on Friday (6). The film reportedly opened across more than 50,000 screens in 100 countries, with Sony Pictures handling its international distribution. Planned as a two-part saga, the production has a combined reported budget of approximately 31.81 million, with the second instalment scheduled for 2028. See on Instagram What are viewers saying about Ramayana ? One audience review shared on X gave the film seven out of 10, praising the portrayal of Ravana and the visual effects while identifying the portions featuring Lord Ram as an area where the storytelling could have been stronger. The viewer described the build-up to Ravana's story as flawless, praising the first 45 minutes and Yash's performance. However, the review felt that the section featuring Lord Ram moved slowly and could have benefited from tighter direction. The viewer also praised the background score, visual effects and design of the demons, describing them as convincing without appearing excessively unrealistic. The review concluded that the film was worth watching for its grand presentation of the Ramayana, although it could have been a nine-out-of-10 experience with a stronger narrative around Ram. Ricky Kej calls it a major achievement in Indian cinema Oscar-winning composer Ricky Kej was among the prominent names to praise the film. After watching it at an IMAX 3D screening in Bengaluru, he said he had initially expected to focus on its technical aspects, including the music, sound design and visual effects. However, the story drew him in within minutes. Going in, as a musician and filmmaker, I fully expected to analyze the technical aspects, the score, the sound design, the visual effects. But within 4 minutes, the film completely drew me in. I forgot to critique and simply got engrossed in what is, without a doubt, one of the greatest achievements in Indian cinema history, he wrote on X. Kej also praised the combination of AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer's music, the film's writing and the visual effects. He singled out the Jatayu-Ravana climax as one of the strongest sequences, comparing the CGI to major Hollywood productions. He encouraged audiences to watch the film on the largest possible screen, preferably in 3D. See on Instagram Yash's Ravana and Ranbir Kapoor's Ram receive praise Tamil filmmaker Shankar also praised the film's technical ambition, describing its visuals as something he had never seen before in Indian cinema. He applauded the production values, sound, music and visual effects, while particularly enjoying Yash's performance as Ravana. Actor Vivek Oberoi, who also features in the film as Vidyutjiva, praised Ranbir Kapoor's portrayal of Lord Ram. He said Kapoor brought grace, dignity and divinity to the character, particularly in the scene in which Ram learns of his father Dashrath's death. Oberoi also praised Sai Pallavi's performance as Sita, highlighting her portrayal of the character's innocence and grace, as well as her agility in the battle sequences. He described her as a warrior princess. Singer Armaan Malik praised Anupam Kher's narration and voice work as Jatayu, particularly the character's final fight sequence with Ravana, which he described as both emotional and visually striking. Filmmaker and actor Viveck Vaswani also praised the screenplay, saying the trailers had not done justice to the film's scale and storytelling. He highlighted the challenge of bringing the essence of an epic into a two-part cinematic adaptation. Salman Khan questions the focus on the film's budget Not all the discussion surrounding Ramayana has focused on its performances and box-office figures. Salman Khan recently questioned the attention given to its reported Rs 4,000 crore budget and visual effects. At the trailer launch of Maatrubhumi , he said the conversation should centre on the characters and the scriptures rather than production costs and technology. I just think Ramayana should be discussed for Ramayana and not its VFX or its cost of production. I think this narrative that Rs 4000VFX, VFX, I just dont think that is correct. Ramayana should be discussed for its characters, Ram, Ravana, Sita, on the scriptures, he said. Veteran trade analyst Taran Adarsh has also predicted stronger collections over the weekend and during the Diwali holiday period, noting that the film opened on a working day during the pre-Diwali period. With strong opening-day numbers, international distribution and largely positive reactions from prominent industry figures, Ramayana: Part One has made a notable start. However, its longer box-office journey will depend on whether audiences continue to respond to the film beyond its opening weekend.

Ishant Sharma Picked, Nitish Rana Left Out Of Delhis Squad For Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Veteran fast bowler Ishant Sharma has been named in Delhis 16-member squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, while experienced left-handed batter Nitish Rana has been left out, said the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Friday. The squad was picked at a meeting of the senior mens selection committee held at the DDCA premises on Friday afternoon. Selectors K. Bhaskar Pillai, Manu Nayar and Praveen Gupta were present, along with head coach Vijay Dahiya, Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) chairman Sarandeep Singh and DDCA secretary Ashok Sharma. Ishants selection is a clear sign that the senior right-arm pacer, who has played more than 100 Tests, is keen to carry on playing domestic white-ball cricket for Delhi. His experience should also be valuable for fellow fast bowlers Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, and Simarjeet Singh. IANS understands that Rana might play one game for Delhi in order to see if hes fully fit after undergoing extensive rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Rana has been named in the India A squad for the Mens Rising Stars Asia Cup, to be played in the 50-over format from November 19 to 29 in Doha, Qatar. Rana has not played any cricket since a hamstring injury sustained in the third T20I against England, which ruled him out of the series. He was a conditional pick for the T20Is against Afghanistan and the Asian Games, but Rana suffered a left quadriceps strain during a match simulation at the CoE on September 7, which in turn extended his rehab period. Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni will lead Delhi in the tournament and will open their Elite Group B campaign against Jammu and Kashmir in Indore on November 14. Badoni ended the first phase of the Ranji Trophy as the second-highest run-scorer with 559 runs in four games, coming at an average of 111.8, including hitting 210 not out and 217 against Gujarat and Jharkhand, respectively. The spin options include leg-spinner Suyash Sharma and mystery spinner Digvesh Rathi, while Mayank Rawat and Keshav Dabas are the all-rounders. In the batting department, Badoni will be joined by opener Priyansh Arya, former India U-19 captain Yash Dhull, Himmat Singh, Sarthak Ranjan and Ayush Doseja. Anuj Rawat and Tejasvi are the two wicketkeepers in the side. After the opening game, Delhi will face Punjab on November 16, before taking on Bihar (November 18), Saurashtra (November 20), Haryana (November 22), Tamil Nadu (November 24) and Railways (November 26). Delhi won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy only once in the 2017/18 season under Pradeep Sangwans leadership. The spin options include leg-spinner Suyash Sharma and mystery spinner Digvesh Rathi, while Mayank Rawat and Keshav Dabas are the all-rounders. In the batting department, Badoni will be joined by opener Priyansh Arya, former India U-19 captain Yash Dhull, Himmat Singh, Sarthak Ranjan and Ayush Doseja.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 6 (IANS) Karnataka has sought around Rs 22,000 crore in drought relief from the Centre under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) guidelines against an estimated crop loss of Rs 62,000 crore, Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister G. Parameshwara said on Friday. Addressing the media near his residence here, Parameshwara, who is also the Revenue Minister, said the state government had submitted three memorandums to the Union government and sought appointments with the Prime Minister, Union Home Minister and Union Agriculture Minister to explain the drought situation. If appointments are granted, we will meet them with an all-party delegation. Otherwise, we will go under the leadership of the Chief Minister and submit our request, he said. The state had calculated its eligible relief requirement under NDRF norms, as the entire estimated loss could not be sought from the Centre, he added. Parameshwara said the government had released Rs 1,250 crore towards the first instalment of drought relief of Rs 2,500 per farmer through Direct Benefit Transfer. More than three lakh farmers in Yadgir district had reportedly received the assistance. Following an increase in the relief amount under Central guidelines, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had agreed to provide an additional Rs 2,500 per farmer. The additional assistance, requiring another Rs 1,250 crore, would be released within one week to 15 days, taking the total relief to Rs 5,000 per farmer, he said. The government had also allocated Rs 1 crore to each Assembly constituency and Rs 4 crore to Rs 5 crore to districts for drinking water arrangements and other essential works. On the proposed meeting with the Prime Minister, Parameshwara said the government had sought a separate appointment to discuss Karnataka's issues. The delegation would meet him in Delhi or Mysuru, depending on where an appointment was granted. Defending the government's decisions on recent increases in transport fares and milk and curd prices, he said all sections of society had to be considered while managing the state's finances. He cited the needs of drought-hit farmers, sugarcane growers, and government employees receiving Dearness Allowance. Responding to the BJP's criticism of the fare hike, he said rising petrol and diesel prices had also increased transport and agricultural costs. Fuel prices had been increased around 14 times since the BJP came to power at the Centre, he claimed, adding that farmers depended on diesel for tractors and other agricultural activities. He said the state's revenue position was better than last year, with good collections from commercial taxes, excise, and stamp and registration charges, and that government decisions were taken after assessing available resources.

Ktaka govt demands mandatory display of Ethanol blend at fuel pumps under Mission Nikhara
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 6 (IANS) The Karnataka government has demanded that all fuel stations across the country be mandated to display the ethanol blending percentage in petrol, allowing consumers to make informed choices, following laboratory tests that allegedly found ethanol content exceeding 20 per cent in samples collected from various fuel outlets in the state. Launching a strong push under Mission Nikhara to ensure fuel quality and accurate measurement, Food, Civil Supplies, Consumer Affairs and Legal Metrology Minister Rizwan Arshad on Friday said the state would continue testing petrol samples and take action against malpractices. Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, he said the Legal Metrology Department had conducted inspections under the direction of Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. Samples were collected from Bengaluru, Kolar, Chikkaballapura, Bengaluru Rural, Ramanagara, Mangaluru and Tumakuru. According to laboratory reports from NABL-accredited and ISO-certified facilities, IOCL petrol contained 31.2 per cent ethanol, while HPCL's MS-Power had 30.5 per cent. HPCL petrol recorded 27 per cent, BPCL's MS-Speed 26.5 per cent, Nayara petrol 26.1 per cent and Shell petrol 25.5 per cent. Arshad said the samples were initially sent to the in-house laboratories of IOCL and BPCL, but the reports did not disclose ethanol content despite it being a prescribed testing parameter. He questioned the transparency of oil marketing companies and said consumers had the right to know the composition of the fuel they purchased. The minister demanded that the Union Ministers for Road Transport and Highways and Petroleum and Natural Gas publicly clarify the actual ethanol blend supplied to consumers. He also sought action against oil marketing companies supplying petrol with ethanol content above 20 per cent and compensation for consumers whose vehicles had suffered damage, through a time-bound claims process with damage certified by authorised service centres. He warned that higher ethanol blends could reduce mileage and damage vehicle components such as filters, fuel pumps, injectors, hoses and seals. He claimed that nearly 99 per cent of India's estimated 35 crore vehicles were not designed for blends above E20, adding that even vehicles sold after April 2023 were certified only for E20. Arshad estimated that a 10 per cent mileage loss, based on annual fuel consumption of 6,200 crore litres and a petrol price of Rs 100 per litre, could impose an additional burden of Rs 62,000 crore on consumers annually. Another Rs 39,000 crore could be incurred in vehicle repairs, taking the estimated burden to Rs 1.01 lakh crore. He said the Centre's argument that ethanol blending helped save foreign exchange had not translated into benefits for consumers. He cited combined profits of Rs 77,821 crore reported by IOCL, BPCL and HPCL in 2025-26. Under Mission Nikhara, the state would continue inspections and testing across Karnataka. Arshad said the government would use its powers under the Motor Spirit and High Speed Diesel (Regulation of Supply and Distribution and Prevention of Malpractices) Order, 2005, to act against irregularities and ensure quality and accurate measurement of every litre of fuel sold.
Announcing test results in Bengaluru, Karnataka's Consumer Affairs Minister Rizwan Arshad said the department had collected 63 petrol samples from across the state, and these showed up to 31.2 per cent ethanol as opposed to the declared 20 per cent.

No funds for blood tests, shortage of medicines in govt hospitals, says K'taka LoP
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 6 (IANS) Senior BJP leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Karnataka Assembly R. Ashoka on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Congress government, accusing it of pushing the state towards financial bankruptcy and neglecting the healthcare needs of the poor. Addressing Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Health Minister U.T. Khader, Ashoka questioned whether the government had brought the state to such a situation that even government hospitals did not have funds for basic blood tests. He alleged that government hospitals, which were meant to serve as a lifeline for the poor, were facing a shortage of funds and that patients were being forced to approach private laboratories and medical stores. Ashoka alleged that while hospitals had equipment, there were no funds available for blood tests. He further claimed that laboratories were being shut and poor patients were being pushed towards private laboratories, alleging that this was part of a commission-driven racket. He also alleged that government hospitals were facing shortages of basic medicines, including cough tablets and paracetamol, forcing poor patients to spend thousands of rupees at private medical stores. Who is responsible for all this? Who should be held accountable? Ashoka questioned. He further alleged that the government did not have funds for blood tests for poor patients or scans for pregnant women and accused it of neglecting public healthcare while benefiting private laboratories. Reacting to reports of alleged fund shortages in government hospitals, Ashoka charged that the Congress government was squeezing the blood of the poor and had reduced the public healthcare system to a state of financial distress. The Congress government has completely looted the state treasury, pushed the government towards bankruptcy and destroyed the entire administrative system. It should be ashamed, he said. In a separate attack on the government, Ashoka alleged that fellowship funds had not been released for 45 research students under the Minority Welfare Department for the past 11 months, pushing financially vulnerable students into debt and distress. He said students, farmers and transport employees had all been pushed into difficulties due to what he termed the Congress government's misgovernance. Listing what he described as examples of the state's financial crisis, Ashoka alleged that the government did not have funds to pay Gruha Lakshmi scheme beneficiaries, clear dues to transport corporations and electricity supply companies, provide drought relief to farmers, purchase diesel for government buses or release fellowships for research students. Ashoka questioned the Chief Minister about the state's finances and asked where the crores of rupees collected through increased taxes and price hikes had gone if the government did not have funds for development across various sectors and for the future of poor students. The government has hit the poor hard and pushed the state into a complete financial crisis. It has no moral right to continue in office, he charged, demanding that the government apologise to the people of Karnataka and resign. Ashoka said the Congress government's days were numbered and alleged that its financial mismanagement and neglect of the poor would ultimately lead to its downfall.

Cab driver arrested for killing 7 members of wife's family in Bengaluru
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 6 (IANS) In a shocking case of multiple murders, a cab driver has been arrested for allegedly killing seven members of his wife's family, including his wife and a seven-year-old boy, following a domestic dispute in Bengaluru on Friday. The accused, identified as Indushekhar, was arrested by the Rajajinagar police. The body of seven-year-old Puneeth was recovered near Nandi Hills in Chikkaballapur district, while search operations are underway to trace the bodies of the remaining victims. The alleged murders, which reportedly took place two days ago, came to light belatedly. The victims have been identified as Roopavathi of Srirampura, her daughter Sunitha, sons Shivakumar and Shankar, daughters-in-law Divya and Nalini, and her seven-year-old grandson Puneeth. According to preliminary police information, Indushekhar married Sunitha about 20 years ago. The couple allegedly had frequent disputes over Sunitha's continued attachment to her parental family. Her mother and brothers had reportedly supported her during these disputes, which allegedly angered the accused. Police sources said Indushekhar had allegedly planned the killings in advance. He allegedly first killed his wife at his residence by attacking her with a grinding stone. He then allegedly told her family members that Sunitha had gone on a trip with her friends to avoid raising suspicion. The accused allegedly invited his brothers-in-law, Shivakumar and Shankar, to his house on the pretext of consuming alcohol and killed them. He is also accused of killing their wives, Nalini and Divya, his mother-in-law, Roopavathi, and Puneeth. The case came to light after Nalini went missing under mysterious circumstances and her mother lodged a complaint with the Srirampura police. Police questioned Indushekhar during the investigation, and his allegedly contradictory statements raised suspicion. A search of his house reportedly yielded clues linked to the crime. During questioning, the accused allegedly confessed to the murders. Police said the accused disposed of the bodies at different locations around Nandi Hills. He was taken to the area on Thursday, and Puneeth's body was recovered after nearly four hours of searching. Efforts are continuing to trace the remaining bodies. The accused allegedly cleaned bloodstains and washed the grinding stone used in the crime. Police have also seized the car allegedly used to transport the bodies. Senior police officers, including West Division Joint Commissioner Vamsi Krishna and North Division DCP Nemagowda, are supervising the investigation. A special team comprising three Assistant Commissioners of Police has been formed under the DCP's leadership to trace the remaining bodies and gather evidence. According to preliminary information, Indushekhar was running a newspaper titled 'Thana Varadi' and had been living in a rented house near Bhashyam Circle for the past eight years. Police are also examining allegations related to a dispute between the accused and the owner of the building where he lived. Further investigation has continued in the gruesome case.
