Chief Minister Saini said that despite its limited geographical area and resources, Singapore has established itself as one of the world's leading business and economic centres through visionary economic policies, robust infrastructure, good governance and effective law and order. He said Haryana is also continuously working towards providing investors with better law and order, modern infrastructure, good governance and a conducive environment for industries.

Nothing concrete found in extensive CBI search, claims Punjab CM
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 7 (IANS) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the 12-hour Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raids, asserting that the agency's teams returned empty-handed and that nothing was found despite an extensive search in the state. He said the outcome was a clear reflection of the state government's integrity and accused the BJP of using central agencies to intimidate and tarnish the image of an elected Chief Minister ahead of elections. He affirmed neither he nor the Punjab government would be cowed down by such tactics, asserting that they had entered public life to serve Punjab, not to make money. Interacting with media persons on the sidelines of an event in Sangrur town, Chief Minister Mann said neither he nor the state government would be intimidated by such tactics. We are not going anywhere. We will face the central agencies and answer every question. The BJP should understand that Punjabis are not going to be frightened by threats or arm-twisting tactics, he added. The Chief Minister said the timing of the CBI raids was significant and showed that the BJP had started preparing for the upcoming state Assembly elections. Whenever elections approach, a familiar pattern emerges in states where the BJP faces a political challenge. In Delhi they arrested Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Satyendar Jain before the elections. In Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Delhi, Haryana and other states, whenever elections approach, central agencies suddenly become active, he added. The Chief Minister said that Punjab would not fall prey to this politics of intimidation. The teams that came to raid Punjab have already returned empty-handed. They came with a purpose, but what did they find? Nothing. They went back empty-handed, he said, adding when there was no wrongdoing, such raids became nothing more than an attempt to create fear and tarnish reputations. Chief Minister Mann said the attempt was not confined to targeting him politically, but was also aimed at tarnishing the image of his family and the work being done by the Punjab government. This is an attempt to defame me, my family and the work being done by our (AAP) government. But such conspiracies will not stop us from serving the people of Punjab. The BJP is making futile and desperate attempts to harass us, he added.

Blistering Maiden T20I Century Propels Iyer Into Top 10 Of ICC Mens Batting Rankings
T20I Batting Rankings: India T20I captain Shreyas Iyer has surged 18 places to achieve a career-best seventh position in the latest update to the ICC Mens T20I Batting Rankings following his explosive maiden century against the West Indies in Lucknow. Iyers unbeaten 102 off just 43 balls - a masterclass in captains knock in the shortest format, was laced with 10 boundaries and six sixes and guided the reigning World Champions to a comfortable eight-wicket victory with 32 balls to spare at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Ground on Tuesday. That spectacular knock has established Iyer as Indias third-highest-ranked batter in the shortest format. With wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan leading the rankings, followed by opener Abhishek Sharma at second spot and vice-captain Tilak Varma at 10th, India now boasts of four batters inside the global top 10 rankings. Meanwhile, ODI captain Shubman Gill consolidated his position at the summit of the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings after hitting an unbeaten 223 in the second ODI against the West Indies in Guwahati. Gill's second double-ton in 50-over cricket - the highest individual score in a successful ODI run chase, earned him 25 rating points to equal his career-best tally of 841. Meanwhile, former captain Virat Kohli slipped one spot to third. West Indies batter Sherfane Rutherford gained 10 places to reach 37th after his brisk 56 in Lucknow, while teenage batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi climbed eight spots to 46th following his Asian Games outings. Pakistan's Hasan Nawaz, who gave India an almighty scare in the final, saw a massive leap of 62 places to reach 48th. In the bowling department, Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan returned to the top spot for an eighth distinct spell, after overtaking Pakistans Abrar Ahmed whose returns of 0/29 and 1/29 in the Asian Games semifinals and final proved insufficient to protect his lead. Rashid has now spent more than twice as long at the number one spot than any other bowler in T20I history. India left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel also made significant strides, leaping 16 places to seventh position after claiming two wickets in each of his last three appearances. Bangladesh duo Nasum Ahmed (eighth) and Mahedi Hasan (ninth) also moved into the top 10, while Sri Lanka's Nuwan Thushara advanced 18 places to 48th. West Indies skipper Shai Hope rose two places to sixth in the ODI batting list following his match-winning 162 not out in the final ODI in New Chandigarh, while India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul returned to the top 10 on the back of his unbeaten 129 in the same fixture. West Indies batter Amir Jangoo, who registered scores of 114 and 67 during the series, vaulted 55 spots to 55th. USA's Milind Kumar jumped four places to 45th after scripting an unbeaten 116 off 84 balls to seal a historic 331-run chase against the UAE in the ICC Mens Cricket World Cup League 2 match in Dallas. West Indies skipper Shai Hope rose two places to sixth in the ODI batting list following his match-winning 162 not out in the final ODI in New Chandigarh, while India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul returned to the top 10 on the back of his unbeaten 129 in the same fixture.

How India-UK economic ties can expand at regional level
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) The visit of a business delegation from the north of England to India offers an opportunity to shift the focus of bilateral economic engagement between the two nations from London to regional industries, universities and emerging centres of innovation, according to a media report. The delegation, operating under the Great North banner, brings together representatives from Liverpool City Region, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, York and North Yorkshire, the North East, Cheshire and Warrington, according to the report on the Khalsa Vox news website. Indias economic relationship with Britain need not be limited to attracting investment from London-based corporations or securing access to the British consumer market. Its companies can also benefit from establishing direct relationships with regional industrial clusters, universities and local administrations, it observed. For the United Kingdom, the initiative also addresses a longstanding domestic challenge: ensuring that the benefits of international trade extend beyond London and the South East. Northern England possesses substantial strengths in advanced manufacturing, engineering, technology, higher education, clean energy, and creative industries. Yet international perceptions of Britains economy often remain disproportionately associated with its capital. The India mission offers an opportunity to challenge that imbalance by positioning northern cities and industrial clusters as destinations for Indian investment and collaboration. This approach is particularly relevant for Indian states seeking to strengthen exports, attract technology partnerships and diversify international investment. Punjab and Haryana provide an instructive example. Earlier Northern Powerhouse initiatives included engagement with Punjab, Karnataka, and Delhi. British diplomatic representatives in Chandigarh subsequently highlighted progress in education, skills development and exchanges involving students and businesses. A stakeholder consultation organised by Indias Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Chandigarh in June highlighted opportunities arising from Indias expanding network of free trade agreements. Among the sectors identified as having export potential for Punjab and Haryana were textiles, apparel, engineering goods, agriculture, food processing, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Several of these industries align with the capabilities and commercial interests of northern England. For example, Punjabs manufacturing enterprises could explore partnerships involving specialised engineering, industrial technology and advanced production systems. Textile businesses could examine opportunities for technology transfer, product development and access to new distribution networks. Universities and technical institutions could collaborate on vocational education, research and industry-oriented skills programmes. Clean energy and sustainable industrial development offer another promising area of cooperation, particularly as businesses in both countries respond to changing environmental requirements and the transition towards lower-carbon production, the article added.

Punjab: CBI books 6, raids 8 locations for evidence in graft case linked to CM Manns OSD
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 6 (IANS) The CBI on Tuesday took over the investigation into alleged corruption involving Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Manns OSD Rajbir Singh Ghuman and other associates and conducted searches at eight locations in Chandigarh, Mohali, Jalandhar and other cities. During the searches, the CBI collected incriminating evidence, laptops, mobile phones and documents and sent digital devices to forensic lab for extracting data linked to the alleged bribery and impropriety, a CBI official said in a statement. The probe agency said it registered the FIR in the matter following orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and receipt of report from the ED. The CBI has booked six persons, including two public servants, middlemen and associates namely Rajbir Singh Ghuman, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Chief Minister, Punjab, Nitin Gohal, Jitin Gohal alias Raja, Romi Raja Mahajan, Bir Devinder, R.S. Nagra and unknown public servant(s) and private person(s). An official statement said that the CBI has registered the FIR to investigate the allegations of corruption against the OSD to the Punjab Chief Minister (CM) and his associates for influencing and manipulating postings of officers, including that of IAS and IPS officers, departmental proceedings and matters pertaining to policy formulation. The probe will also cover decisions of the accused aimed at manipulating administrative approvals, tender conditions, licensing matters, land use conversion matters, property disputes, revenue and land related issues in lieu of pecuniary benefits, said the statement. It is also alleged that the accused public servants purportedly accessed and provided drafts of orders and policies to private persons prior to their issuance by the government. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday alleged that the CBI action was politically motivated. The allegations came a day after the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed the CBI to register a case and submit a status report within two months regarding allegations of corruption involving CM Manns OSD Ghuman and others. The ED had earlier written three letters to Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav alleging that Ghuman and his associates, Nitin Gohal and Bir Devinder, were involved in corruption-related activities. The anti-money laundering agency alleged that they were interfering in administrative transfers, postings and government tenders, and had sought registration of an FIR. After the Punjab Police did not register a case on the basis of the ED communications, advocate Nikhil Saraf filed a public interest litigation (PIL) before the High Court seeking a CBI investigation. In the petition, Saraf argued that the ED letters contained serious allegations involving persons linked to the Punjab Chief Ministers Office and sought a fair and independent investigation free from the influence of the Punjab Police and Punjab Vigilance Bureau.
