From top-4 to 26, Srinagar falls in Centres clean-air ranking
Srinagar, Sep 11:Just three years ago, Srinagar was counted among the countrys top-performing cities in GoI survey regarding air quality, city-wise, across India. Now it has found itself at 26th position in the latest Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan 2026.The striking reversal for a city synonymous with pristine mountains, lakes and fresh Himalayan air throws uncomfortable in the air here. The health of citizens and environment in Srinagar is once again under scanner.The latest ranking Of Swatch Vayi Sarvekshan has Srinagar behind Delhi.Delhi has for long made headlines with toxic winter smog and features among Indias most persistent air-pollution hotspots. Strikingly, Delhi secured the 21st rank with 172 points. Shockingly, Srinagar scored 162.6 points and is now at 26th among cities with a population of over 10 lakh.In the Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan 2023, Srinagar had clinched the fourth rank nationally in its population category. It was lauded for being one of the country's leading cities in the clean-air initiative.Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Pollution Control Committee (JKPCC), Vasu Yadav while speaking to Greater Kashmir, said the ranking does not reflect the air quality of Srinagar. He said that Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan does not rank cities based on the measurement of how good or bad their air quality is.It is not a linear, simple addition but a number of factors are assessed while giving points to the cities, he said. Yadav said the Sarvekshan measures the initiatives taken by cities to control pollution and the implementation of air-quality improvement programmes, under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP). The assessment is based on measures to address road dust management, solid waste management, vehicular emissions, industrial pollution, construction waste, demolition waste and other other emission sources, he said. More importantly, he said, it has a very strong connection to Solid Waste Managemnet measures taken by the cities. If the waste is not managed scientifically, it is a pollution hazard, and a negative impact on air quality as it will eventually be burnt, he said. The Chairman said the municipalities have to list what all they have done to control air pollution over the year. The process is heavily based on self-assessment by city municipalities, he said. It is also a reflection of the scrutiny at the state level, evaluation by the Central Pollution Control Board and importantly, field verification by independent committees, he said. Three years ago, the parameter of ranking just the air quality and thats how Srinagar was among the top, he said.The latest survey has placed Srinagar above major metros such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata.However, it trails behind Delhi and Hyderabad. Lucknow has topped the category with 198 points. Other top cities with notable clean air measures are Indore and Jabalpur.At the bottom are Chennai, Jamshedpur, Kota, Kolkata and Madurai.The pollution in Srinagar has often been blamed on the ever-increasing number of vehicles and traffic congestion to road dust.The construction activity, waste burning in autumn and emissions are considered the major culprits. The fifth edition of the Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan, 2026, assessed 130 cities covered under NCAP, in three population categories. The Union Environment Ministry said 108 of the 130 cities showed improvement in PM10 levels during 2025-26.

Urology Through the Healing Lens
Urology is one of those branches of medicine most of us don't think much about until something goes wrong, often as we grow older. It deals with the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract and, in men, the prostate and reproductive system. Kidney stones, urinary infections, difficulty passing urine and prostate problems are some of the common reasons people visit a urologist. A nephrologist, on the other hand, mainly deals with diseases of the kidneys, including kidney failure and patients who need dialysis or a kidney transplant. Urology and nephrology are related, but the two deal with different kinds of problems. My own interest in urology largely comes from my Bengaluru-based son, Ankurs recurrent urinary tract infections in recent years. My friend and gastroenterologist, Dr. Balaji Guruppa, suggested that we consult Dr. Nandakishore Shapur Kamlakar, who has earned a name for treating such infections and other related problems. That is how I first met him. Both my son and I found Dr. Nandakishore courteous, friendly and easy to talk to. What we liked was that he took time to explain the problem and the treatment options without making them sound too complicated. As we talked, I also became curious to know more about Dr. Nandakishore himself. His decision to become a doctor goes back to his school days. Soon after his Class XII examinations, his mother became seriously ill with gastroenteritis and her condition turned critical. Watching the doctors treat her made an impression on him and influenced his decision to study medicine. After completing his MS in surgery from Government Medical College, Bangalore, he started working with urologists and assisting them during operations. Over time, he became interested in the field and decided to take it up as his speciality, going on to earn his DNB in urology. His medical training taught him something else too. A doctor may be very good technically, but patients also need someone who can explain what is happening to them. He had seen excellent surgeons who communicated very well and others who were equally skilled but were less comfortable talking to patients. This seems to have influenced his own approach. He likes to explain what the problem is, what the choices are and why a particular treatment is being suggested. I noticed that during our own interaction. He talks to the patient rather than simply writing a prescription. We also spoke about some of the common problems a urologist sees. One symptom, according to him, should never be ignoredblood in the urine. It should be checked. Frequent urination, sudden urgency, poor urine flow and severe pain in the abdomen or side are some other symptoms that may also need medical attention. Recurrent UTIs can also be difficult to treat. Antibiotics may clear the infection for some time without dealing with the reason it keeps coming back. The bacteria may have become resistant to some antibiotics. The bladder may not be emptying fully, or there may be some narrowing or blockage in the urinary tract. Kidney stones can also be a factor. In men, an infection in the prostate can sometimes be responsible. In some cases, bacteria remain in the urinary system and cause another infection later. Kidney stones are another common problem and are now being seen in younger people too. Lifestyle may have something to do with it. Many of us simply don't drink enough water. Too much salt, colas and animal protein, along with long hours of sitting, lack of exercise and obesity, can increase the risk in people who are prone to stones. The prostate is another subject that begins to worry many men after 50. It commonly becomes larger with age and can sometimes affect the flow of urine. But an enlarged prostate does not automatically mean cancer or surgery. Some men may need no treatment at all. Others can be treated with medicine. Surgery may be required in some cases, depending on the symptoms and what the tests show. The tools available to urologists have changed considerably over the years. Lasers and smaller instruments have made many procedures less invasive. Robotic surgery allows surgeons to work more precisely in areas that are difficult to reach. In suitable cases, this can mean less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery. Artificial Intelligence is beginning to find a place too. It can help doctors go through scans, reports and medical records and assist them in making decisions. Dr. Nandakishore sees it as a useful tool, but not something that can replace the experience and judgement of a doctor. There is another side to him that I found interesting. Away from medicine, he enjoys nature and photography. When he learnt about my long association with Discovery Channel, we naturally got talking about wildlife and nature. At first, photography and urology may seem to have little in common. But listening to him, I could see a link. A photographer spends a lot of time observing and looking for details. A doctor, in his own way, does much the same. Modern urology itself involves a great deal of looking and observing. Small cameras allow doctors to see inside the urinary system. The images help them understand the problem and can also be shown to patients. Dr. Nandakishore sees photography largely as a way of recording what he sees. Perhaps that is where his two interests come together. Nature also gives him a break from the pressures of a doctor's life. With a camera in hand and surrounded by nature, the pace is different. One slows down and simply observes. What started as a consultation ended up giving me a better understanding of urology and also of the person behind the doctor. When I asked Dr Nandakishore how he would like his patients to remember him years later, he did not talk about successful operations, technology or professional achievements. His answer was simple: As a good human being. It reminded me of the well-known words attributed to physician William Osler: The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease. For all the changes taking place in medicine, that probably says it all. (The author works as an Advisor with Apeejay Education, New Delhi)

GCL Season 4: Grandmasters outplay Masters; Pipers beat Gambits to close in on final berth (Ld)
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) Ganges Grandmasters and defending champions Alpine APL Pipers registered convincing victories in the penultimate round of the Global Chess League (GCL) in Bengaluru on Friday and will need to just win their respective last-round matches to ensure their spot in the Season 4 title clash. The Pipers defeated FYERS American Gambits 9-7 while the Grandmasters thrashed CheQ Mumba Masters 16-1 to register the biggest win of the tournament. In the days other match, Triveni Continental Kings defeated PBG Alaskan Knights 13-7. Both Ganges Grandmasters and Alpine Pipers now have 18 match points, but the formers dominant win means that they take the top spot in the overall standings due to a better game score. American Gambits are in third place with 15 match points and would need one of the top two teams to lose in the final round, while they will have to beat CheQ Mumba Masters by a convincing margin. And the Gambits find themselves in this position as they could not find a way to stop the Pipers in the first match of the day. World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen ended Candidates 2026 winner Javokhir Sindarovs three-game winning streak, and Vidit Gujrathi defeated Daniil Dubov in a rook-knight endgame to help defending champions Alpine APL Pipers beat FYERS American Gambits 9-7 in the clash of the top two teams in the penultimate round. Pipers and American Gambits were tied on match points and game points going into the ninth round, and winning the match was important for both teams to close in on the final berth. Carlsen, who won the Player of the Match award, was in total control throughout against Sindarov on the icon board and forced the Uzbek player to resign after 36 moves. First of all, I think this was a great match with a very good team performance. We are thrilled to get the win. In my game, I was doing pretty well early on, but he (Sindarov) put up a big fight, and I was able to wriggle out and find the win, said Carlsen, who said Vidit deserved the trophy more than him and then handed the trophy to the Indian GM. The game between Vidit and Dubov on the Superstar men's board went into a time scramble, but the Indian GM kept his cool as he made the most of an additional knight and pawn against his opponents rook to claim victory after a marathon 96-move battle and help Pipers complete a double over the Gambits. Womens World Cup winner Divya Deshmukhs struggles in her debut GCL continued as she ran out of time on move 34 against Bibisara Assaubayeva for the only loss for her team on Friday. It was a very close match, and when I saw the board, we were not in a clear position to win. I felt that I played a good game, and it was very good to win for the team, said Vidit, whose win over Dubov sealed the victory for his team. Later in the day, Ganges Grandmasters icon player Ian Nepomniachtchi, Superstar men Levon Aronian and Leinier Dominguez Perez, superstar woman Stavroula Tsolakidou and prodigy Leon Luke Mendonca made the most of the opportunity of playing white as they registered convincing wins over their respective opponents. Only Polina Shuvalova drew her game against D. Harika to hand one point to the Mumba Masters. In the match between two bottom-placed teams, two-time champions Triveni Continental Kings proved too strong for the PBG Alaskan Knights. On the Superstar women boards, Zhu Jiner registered her first victory of the tournament, beating Kateryna Lagno in 44 moves; Alexandra Kosteniuk pounced on an error from Nino Batsiashvili while Pranav Venkatesh forced Abhimanyu Mishra to resign after 42 moves on the prodigy board. With the Continental Kings picking up 12 points for three victories with black pieces, Arjun Erigaisis win over Wei Yi and 15-year-old Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus beating Aravindh Chithambaram did not really help the Alaskan Knights' chances of making it to the final.

Vande Mataram row: Congress stand has always been clear, says Karnataka CM Shivakumar
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) In the wake of the controversy over the Karnataka government restricting the playing of 'Vande Mataram' to two stanzas at state events, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday said the Congress has always respected the national song, the national flag, the national anthem, independence, democracy, and the Constitution, asserting that the party's position on the national song has been clear for a long time. Talking to reporters at Aranya Bhavan, Shivakumar said the Congress had played a role in upholding the values associated with the countrys freedom struggle and democratic institutions. Vande Mataram is my partys stand, which we have been following for a long time. They are trying to do their politics. We respect it. We brought Vande Mataram. We brought the national flag. We brought the national anthem. We brought independence. We brought democracy. We brought the Constitution, he said. He said the Congress position on Vande Mataram was not new and that the party respected all national symbols and constitutional values. On the Kasturirangan report, Shivakumar said the government would consult farmers before taking a final decision on the issue. He said he would visit three or four districts after his Mangaluru visit and meet farmers to hear their views. I will meet the farmers, and then on September 21, 22, and 23, we have a special session only for farmers issues, road issues and the report. We will discuss it because we have lost the opportunity. I want all MLAs to speak up and give their views in the interest of the public and the farmers of the state, he said. The Karnataka government has convened a three-day special session of the legislature from September 21 to 23 to discuss the Kasturirangan report and related issues. On his visit to PWD Minister Satish Jarkiholi amid the Enforcement Directorate searches linked to him, Shivakumar defended his colleague, saying Jarkiholi had not committed any wrongdoing. Jarkiholi is my colleague. He has not done anything wrong. They are conducting their business within the framework of the law. How can they say they should not go outside or should not do business outside? I know that they were doing, he said. Shivakumar alleged that the investigation agencies were selectively targeting Congress leaders. I know that they are planning to target three or four people as well. They are trying to trap the entire Congress and the opposition parties. Whoever from the BJP went outside or transferred money is not being targeted. They are doing it only with people from our party, he alleged. Defending the decision to set a deadline for the surrender of illegal firearms, Shivakumar referred to former Chief Minister, late Ramakrishna Hegde, who had during his tenure called upon people to surrender illegal firearms and weapons to the government. Following this, thousands of people came forward and surrendered them to the government, he said.

GCL Season 4: Carlsen, Vidit help Alpine Pipers beat American Gambits in top board clash

Pharma racket: Karnataka SIT raids 10 locations across 6 states
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) The Karnataka Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the fake pharmaceuticals racket that was recently unearthed in Dodderi on the outskirts of Bengaluru in Ramanagara district, conducted raids at 10 locations across India. The raids were conducted at multiple locations in Karnataka, Haryana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh and Telangana on Friday. The operation was carried out jointly by the SIT and the Drugs Control Department as part of the ongoing investigation into the alleged counterfeit medicine network. Raids were conducted at multiple locations in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Mumbai, Chennai and Telangana. Around 80 to 100 officials and staff members are involved in the searches, which targeted offices, properties and other premises linked to companies allegedly involved in manufacturing, repackaging and supplying counterfeit medicines. In Bengaluru, searches were conducted at the premises of pharmaceutical company at Minerva Circle near Lalbagh as part of the probe. Officials are examining medicines allegedly sourced from different locations and subsequently repackaged or supplied through the network. The investigation has reportedly revealed an international connection, with counterfeit labels allegedly being sourced from foreign locations. The raids were conducted in continuation of the investigation into the racket that came to light around two weeks ago. Investigators are examining the supply chain, sources of the medicines, manufacturing and repackaging facilities, as well as the distribution network. The case came to light in August 2026 after the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) and local police busted a major counterfeit medicine racket near Bidadi in Ramanagara district. Authorities seized counterfeit medicines estimated to be worth around Rs 5 crore and uncovered an alleged unlicenced repackaging facility operating from a farmhouse in Kurubara Karenahalli, near the Bidadi toll gate. According to the investigation, low-cost, substandard or expired medicines were allegedly sourced from different states. The medicines were reportedly transferred into new vials and repackaged using counterfeit labels bearing the names of expensive and prominent multinational pharmaceutical brands before being sold at substantially higher prices. The racket assumed greater significance after authorities found that some of the counterfeit medicines were allegedly intended for use in hospital Intensive Care Units (ICUs). The drugs were reportedly supplied to private hospitals and pharmacies at prices nearly 50 per cent lower than the market rates. Karnataka Health Minister, U.T. Khader, had described the case as a major drug mafia operation and ordered steps to investigate the suspected inter-state network. The formation of the SIT was aimed at identifying the wider network and tracing those involved in sourcing, repackaging, labelling and distribution of the medicines. The latest raids across six states are expected to help investigators establish the extent of the alleged network and identify other individuals and companies involved in the supply of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. Officials are also examining the alleged international links and the source of the counterfeit labels as part of the continuing investigation.

Warder smuggled mobile phone into Bengaluru jail used by Prajwal Revanna; 9 arrested in three cases
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) Bengaluru police have cracked three cases involving the illegal supply and use of prohibited mobile phones inside Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, arresting nine people, including two prison warders, and uncovering an alleged network through which a mobile phone was smuggled into the jail by a warder and a SIM card was brought in through an undertrial prisoner. The investigation also led police to a prohibited mobile phone, SIM card, charger and notebook recovered from the cell occupied by undertrial prisoner Prathap Rai and convicted former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna during a surprise inspection on August 11. Police said the mobile phone was allegedly smuggled into the prison through a warder, while the SIM card was brought inside through an undertrial prisoner and was allegedly used by Rai and Prajwal Revanna. Police said five people who had allegedly purchased the mobile phone and SIM card and facilitated their transportation into the prison were arrested at different stages of the investigation. Technical data and interrogation of the accused helped investigators establish the alleged route through which the prohibited devices entered the prison. Rai and Revanna were produced before a court on September 8 and taken into police custody for three days for interrogation in connection with the case. On September 10, following the court's order, both were sent back to prison. The investigation into the first case began after prison authorities recovered four mobile phones, two SIM cards and a charger on January 13. Police traced the mobile numbers linked to the two Airtel SIM cards and obtained technical information through the CEIR portal to identify the devices in which they had been used. The investigation led police to Srinivas Naik, a warder at the Central Prison, who was taken into custody on August 28. During interrogation, he allegedly confessed to purchasing two of the phones under the fictitious name 'Rahul'. Police said Naik also confessed to purchasing around 12 mobile phones in a similar manner, keeping them in his possession and illegally supplying them inside the prison. In the second case, a mobile phone and SIM card recovered from inside the prison on August 20 were traced through technical details and the phone's sale records. Police found that the device was initially sold to an agency in Andhra Pradesh before tracing it to Bharat alias Bhuvan, who had purchased it. Further questioning allegedly revealed the involvement of Bharat alias KTM Bharat, who is currently in judicial custody at the Central Prison, and Vijay Kumar, a chief warder. Vijay Kumar was taken into custody on August 28 and allegedly confessed to his involvement. Police said technical data also indicated the involvement of other prison staff. In the third case, police said the investigation revealed that the seized mobile phone had been brought into the prison through a warder, while the SIM card was allegedly brought through an undertrial prisoner. Naveen Kumar, Manjunath, Prakash, Siddiq and Mohammed Tauseef were arrested at different stages and subsequently remanded to judicial custody after interrogation. Police said further investigation is underway to identify other inmates and prison staff involved in the illegal procurement, smuggling, supply and use of prohibited mobile phones inside the Central Prison. The three cases were detected by a team of Parappana Agrahara Police Station under the guidance of M. Narayan, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Electronic City Division, and the leadership of Satish K.M., Assistant Commissioner of Police, Electronic City Sub-Division.

Karnataka SIR eases rules for elderly, disabled persons, sick and NRI voters
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) The Karnataka Chief Electoral Officers (CEO) office has directed the election officials to allow adult family members to appear on behalf of senior citizens, persons with disabilities, sick persons and overseas electors in connection with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. In a memorandum issued on Friday, Joint Chief Electoral Officer S. Yogeshwara directed election officials to permit any adult family member of such electors to appear in person before the Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and Assistant Electoral Registration Officers (AEROs) on their behalf and submit the required documents and information for disposal of notices issued to them. The direction follows a reference to the Election Commission of India (ECI) letter issued on May 14 this year, concerning the disposal of notices issued to senior citizens, persons with disabilities, sick persons and overseas electors. The CEO's office has asked the District Election Officer, Bengaluru, the Chief Commissioner of the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), District Election Officers and Deputy Commissioners across the state, as well as Additional District Election Officers of BBMP Central, North and South election districts, to issue necessary instructions to the EROs and AEROs. The measure is aimed at making the SIR-related process more accessible for electors, who may face difficulties in appearing before election officials personally. The memorandum also directs EROs and AEROs to explain the procedure being followed for issuing and disposing of notices during meetings with political parties held on a weekly basis at their respective levels. The instructions have also been circulated to the Commissioner of the Department of Information and Public Relations for publicity, besides all Electoral Registration Officers, AEROs and Additional AEROs of the state's 224 Assembly constituencies. The latest direction comes amid the ongoing SIR exercise in Karnataka, under which election authorities are undertaking verification and revision of electoral rolls. The arrangement allowing adult family members to represent vulnerable categories is expected to ease the process of responding to notices and submitting the necessary documents. The office of the CEO has also released photos and videos of officers reaching out to the vulnerable voters and enabling them to enrol their names in the voters' list.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS)The Karnataka Cabinet has approved the ambitious 'Udyoga Nidhi' scheme to boost industrial investment and job creation in the state's backward districts, Minister for IT/BT and Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Priyank Kharge has said. In a statement on Thursday, Kharge said the scheme aims to create one lakh new jobs in 11 backward districts and reduce regional inequality in the state. Under the scheme, eligible Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and industrial establishments that create additional employment will receive an incentive of Rs 2,500 per additional employee per month for a maximum of 24 months, he said. He further stated: The government will provide an annual grant of Rs 305 crore for the scheme. The incentive will be released only after verification of new recruitment and salary payments to employees. This is to ensure that assistance reaches only those industries that actually create new jobs and retain them, ensuring transparency and accountability in implementation. The scheme will encourage the establishment of new industries and expansion of existing ones in 11 backward districts, including Kalaburagi, Bidar, Raichur, Yadgir and Bagalkot, he said. The objective, the Minister said, is to prevent industries and jobs from being concentrated only in major cities like Bengaluru and to take investment to different parts of the state. Increased local employment opportunities will also reduce the need for youth to migrate to distant cities in search of jobs. The 'Udyoga Nidhi' will be implemented in coordination with the state government's 'Yuva Nidhi' scheme. While Yuva Nidhi focuses on support and skill development for youth to get jobs, Udyoga Nidhi will provide direct incentives to industries that create jobs. Development should not be limited to Bengaluru or a few cities. Investment and employment opportunities should reach every part of the state. Our youth should not have to leave their hometowns and districts for jobs. Our government's goal is to create good job opportunities in their own regions and enable them to build their future there, Priyank Kharge said. Udyoga Nidhi is not just an industrial incentive scheme, but a result-based job creation programme. The government will support industries that create jobs and also ensure that those jobs are actually created and salaries are paid, he added. The Minister said Udyoga Nidhi will be an important step towards building a balanced and inclusive Karnataka by taking investment, industry and employment to backward regions of the state.

Bengaluru: CBI raids 12 locations in builder-financial institution nexus cases
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 10 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday conducted searches at 12 locations in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Pune in connection with five new criminal cases registered against builders and officials of financial institutions for allegedly cheating and defrauding homebuyers, the official statement said on Thursday. The CBI said the five cases were registered on the orders of the Supreme Court. Four cases relate to the Ozone Group and its related entities concerning projects in Bengaluru and Mumbai, while one case involves M/s Vivansaa Baalsam in connection with its Bengaluru project.

A large number of homebuyers had approached the Supreme Court seeking relief over alleged fraudulent activities by builders that had affected their lives for several years. The searches were aimed at gathering crucial evidence to uncover the alleged conspiracy, including diversion of funds, financial irregularities and fraudulent practices in the housing real estate sector. During the searches, the agency seized incriminating documents, digital devices and other materials, which are being examined as part of the investigation. The agency said it had earlier registered 50 cases against various builders across India in compliance with directions issued by the Supreme Court. With the five fresh cases, the agency has now registered a total of 55 cases on the orders of the apex court. The CBI reiterated its commitment to conducting an expeditious and impartial investigation into economic offences and ensuring accountability in cases involving the alleged defrauding of homebuyers through violations of laws and guidelines.
