Tribal Affairs Ministry says 25 lakh titles distributed under Forest Rights Act
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 10 (IANS) As many as 25 lakh titles have been distributed out of the 54 lakh claims received till August 31 under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (FRA), an official said on Saturday. Speaking at the Second Regional Review Conference on implementation of FRA in Kolkata, Joint Secretary, Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA), said on Friday that out of over 54 lakh claims received nationally, about 11 lakh claims still remain pending at different stages. The official said over 18 lakh claims have been rejected, noting that Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Assam account for substantial pendency concentrated in particular districts, according to a statement. He highlighted that the Regional Conference focuses on the following key priorities such as timely disposal of pending claims and review of rejected claims in accordance with the Act and Rules, reconciliation of FRA data, digitisation of FRA case records, incorporation of recognised rights into revenue and forest records, acceleration of recognition of Community Forest Resource Rights and Habitat Rights recognition for PVTGs. The Conference brought together senior functionaries of the Tribal Welfare, Revenue and Forest Departments and Tribal Research Institutes of eight States, namely West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, said the statement. Additionally, senior officials of Andhra Pradesh were invited to share the best practices the State has undertaken on digitisation, integration of FRA titles into government records, taking up proactive measures on convergence of livelihood schemes with FRA titleholders and providing credit facilities to the right holders, said the statement. District officials- Collectors, Sub-Collectors and ITDP/ITDA Project Officers- from districts having a large pendency of FRA claims also attended to review the status of implementation and deliberate on a coordinated way forward. The Conference follows the First Regional Review Conference held in Bengaluru on September 10 for the Southern States. Secretary, MoTA, said that the FRA places the rights, dignity and aspirations of forest-dwelling communities at the heart of inclusive and sustainable development. She emphasised that recognised rights must be incorporated into Revenue and Forest records with accurate maps and that convergence with programmes for productive land use, housing and livelihoods must become a regular part of implementation. The Director, FRA, MoTA, presented the national scenario, including pendency in high-pendency States and priority districts. Her presentation also covered the importance of incorporating the Record of Forest Rights into revenue and forest records in line with the Ministrys advisory of June 24, 2026 and Habitat Rights under the Ministrys guidelines of January 5, 2026.
Indias office sector sees net absorption surge by 26 pc in July-Sep
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 10 (IANS) Indias office market saw strong momentum in Q3 2026 (July-September), with net absorption across the top eight cities reaching 14.1 million square feet (MSF) up 26 per cent quarter-on-quarter, a report said on Saturday. The report from Cushman & Wakefield said the growth was supported by healthy occupier demand and a significant increase in new office completions during the quarter. Net absorption moderated by 18 per cent on a year-on-year basis against a strong Q3 2025 base, which saw the highest quarterly absorption of the year. Hyderabad with 4.1 million sq ft (MSF) of absorption and Bengaluru with 4 MSF led absorption during the quarter. Hyderabad accounted for 29 per cent of the pan-India total and marked its highest quarterly level since Q4 2021. Net absorption across the top eight cities stood at 36.7 MSF on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. Gross Leasing Volume (GLV) across the top eight cities stood at nearly 22 MSF in Q3 2026, registering a 3 per cent quarterly increase. Bengaluru continued to lead leasing activity with 5.2 million sq ft, accounting for 24 per cent of the quarterly volume followed by Hyderabad at 4.2 million sq ft, Mumbai at 3.9 MSF and Delhi NCR at 3.8 MSF. Year to date (YTD) leasing in 2026 reached 64.6 MSF, marking the highest-ever volume recorded during the first nine months of any year. Leasing during the first nine months has already reached approximately 74 per cent of the full-year 2025 volume. Fresh leasing continued to account for the bulk of YTD activity at nearly 75 per cent. Meanwhile, the share of pre-commitments increased to nearly 12 per cent, reflecting occupiers focus on securing quality office space ahead of project completions. Global Capability Centres (GCCs) remained a key driver of office demand, leasing 9.1 MSF in Q3 2026 and accounting for 42 per cent of total quarterly GLV. Bengaluru and Pune saw particularly strong GCC concentration, with the segment contributing approximately 65 per cent of leasing activity in each market. From a sectoral perspective, BFSI emerged as the largest demand driver in Q3 2026, accounting for 24 per cent of total leasing activity, followed by IT-BPM at 22 per cent. GCCs have been pivotal to this momentum, as global enterprises continue to expand both their presence and capabilities in India. This demand is underpinned by a deep talent pool, cost competitiveness and Indias growing importance within global business strategies, said Anshul Jain, Chief Executive India, SEA, MEA & APAC Office and Retail, Cushman & Wakefield. As occupiers continue to take a longer-term view of their portfolios, we remain confident in the sustained growth trajectory of Indias office market, he said.

'Don't Want Impact Player Rule To Be Taken Out This Season': Karthik Wants It To Stay In IPL 2027
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru's batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik wants the Impact Player rule to stay intact at least for the upcoming IPL 2027, calling that scrapping the contentious rule in the middle of an IPL cycle would not make sense. Karthik, although, criticised the rule for educing the chances for India to produce all-rounders, but batted for the rule to stay in IPL 2027. Speaking to Cricbuzz, he stated that the teams have built their squads with the impact player rule in their minds, highlighting that taking it away in the middle of an IPL cycle would not be sensible. The rule came ahead of IPL 2023 and in the middle of an IPL cycle after the mega auctions were completed for IPL 2022. The current IPL cycle runs till 2027 after the mega auction took place in 2025. When it first came on (Impact Player rule), it was very good because there were high-scoring games and there were a lot of teams that were almost chasing it down. But strangely, this last season, there were not too many close games. It just felt like one team scored a lot, and another team ended up chasing it down. And if you look at how the impact player rule has impacted the IPL, it was quite positive at the start. But slowly but steadily, it started losing the charm and the reason why it was there, Karthik told Cricbuzz. He highlighted that the rule has made an impact on India not being able to produce many all-rounders. It helped make the game more high-scoring than what it was. But it definitely decreased the chances of India as a cricketing country producing all-rounders, he said before wanting the rule to stay this season. But what I wouldn't want is it to be scrapped for this season because teams have been picked with having an impact player in mind. So it makes a lot of sense. When you pick a team, you're picking a team based on 12 players that you're going to play. Now suddenly if you make it 11, there could be a team which is obviously not as strong as a 12 but much better as an 11, and it is an unfair advantage, and it's something that they could do away with after the end of this season. But in general, I do feel it was quite good at the start, but right now it's losing the relevance and importance that it probably provided for the fans and for the players as well, he added. Karthik further stated that a rule should be brought before the start of the cycle and scrapped after the cycle ends, consolidating his claim of why he wants the rule to stay until 2027, which will also bring curtains to the three-year cycle. But in general, I do feel it was quite good at the start, but right now it's losing the relevance and importance that it probably provided for the fans and for the players as well, he added.

Police said that the absence of a senior police officer to monitor the movement of the high-profile convict, following the recent arrest of the Belagavi Range Deputy Inspector General (DIG), is among the reasons for the delay. The transfer may be taken up once another officer is assigned responsibility for overseeing the process. It can be noted that Belagavi Rane DIG Somashekar was arrested on charges of allegedly misusing convict's wife and releasing him after creating fake Supreme Court order. Another consideration is that Revanna is produced before the court three times a week. His transfer to Belagavi could affect the arrangements for his court appearances. Meanwhile, his counsels are reportedly preparing to approach the court challenging the proposed transfer, citing alleged violations of prison rules and other procedural issues. The proposed transfer follows the recovery of a mobile phone and a pen drive from the cell occupied by Revanna at Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. The discovery triggered a major controversy over security lapses at the Bengaluru prison and prompted the prison department to order an investigation. On August 11, 2026, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) conducted a raid at the prison under the leadership of Deputy Commissioners of Police Haribabu and Imam Qasim. During the operation, a mobile phone was reportedly recovered from Revanna's cell, along with a charger, a blue notebook and a pen drive. The mobile phone reportedly contained applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, which were password-protected. A forensic examination by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) reportedly detected several obscene video files on the device. A photograph purportedly showing Revanna speaking on a mobile phone inside the prison also surfaced, intensifying questions over the security arrangements at the facility. Following the recovery, DGP Alok Kumar ordered an investigation led by DIG Jinendra Khanagavi to determine how the prohibited items had entered the prison and whether any officials had been negligent in preventing their entry. An official email has reportedly been sent to Hindalga Jail authorities regarding Revanna's proposed transfer. The chief superintendent has also been informed, and arrangements are expected to be made for his relocation under police escort once the final decision is taken.
