TN bypoll results: TVK takes early lead in Madurantakam, Dharapuram as counting underway
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 9 (IANS) The ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) took an early lead in the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly bypolls as counting began on Friday, with the DMK in second place and the AIADMK third in the postal ballot trends. Counting started at 8 a.m., with postal ballots taken up before votes recorded in electronic voting machines. The initial positions remained provisional, with rounds of EVM counting expected to provide a clearer picture. The strongrooms containing the voting machines were opened in the presence of district election authorities, collectors, returning officers, election observers and candidates agents. At Madurantakam, 14 tables have been arranged for counting EVM votes over 21 rounds. Two tables have been provided for postal ballots. Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail slips will also be counted separately for verification. Police personnel have been deployed in strength at the counting centre. Both constituencies are reserved for the Scheduled Castes. Madurantakam is in the Chengalpattu district and forms part of the Kancheepuram parliamentary constituency, while Dharapuram is in the Tiruppur district in western Tamil Nadu. The bypolls followed the resignation of K. Maragatham Kumaravel and P. Sathyabama, who won Madurantakam and Dharapuram, respectively, on the AIADMK tickets in the Assembly election earlier this year before joining TVK. Kumaravel defeated the TVK candidate by 7,194 votes in Madurantakam in that election. Sathyabama won Dharapuram by defeating her nearest DMK rival by 16,727 votes. Their switch has placed both constituencies at the centre of a contest over party loyalty and electoral support. TVK fielded the two former AIADMK legislators in their constituencies. The AIADMK nominated Kanitha Sampath in Madurantakam and Bhanumathi in Dharapuram, seeking to retain the seats under its banner. Polling was held on October 6 following an intensive campaign involving leaders of the ruling party and opposition. The contests represent an early electoral test for Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijays government. TVK won 108 seats in the Assembly election, falling short of the 118 needed for an outright majority in the 234-member House. Victories would strengthen the ruling partys legislative position and provide a boost to its claim of public support. For the DMK and AIADMK, the results offer an opportunity to demonstrate their electoral strength against the new government. However, the postal ballot leads alone cannot establish the eventual outcome in either constituency.

TN: Bus conductor killed, over 20 injured in Tirunelveli road accident
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 8 (IANS) A head-on collision between a government bus and a soil-laden lorry near Prancheri in Tirunelveli district on Thursday left a bus conductor dead and more than 20 passengers injured. The deceased was identified as Ajith Melvin Arthur, 52, a resident of Kanniyakumari district. He sustained fatal injuries and died on the spot. The injured passengers were admitted to Tirunelveli Government Medical College Hospital, where they are undergoing treatment. The accident occurred while the bus, carrying more than 20 passengers, was travelling on the Tirunelveli-Thoothukudi highway. Preliminary information indicated that the lorry, travelling in the opposite direction, reportedly lost control before colliding head-on with the bus. The impact extensively damaged the front portion of the bus. Police and rescue personnel were alerted and rushed to the scene to assist the injured and clear the wreckage. Investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding the lorry's reported loss of control. Rescue teams evacuated the injured from the damaged vehicle and arranged their transportation to hospital. More than 20 passengers were reported to have sustained serious injuries.

Tamil Nadu seeks 3000 MW more as October power demand stays high
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 8 (IANS) Tamil Nadus power utility has floated an urgent tender to buy up to 3,000 MW during evening peak hours as electricity demand remains close to 20,000 MW in October amid prolonged hot weather and declining wind generation. The Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Ltd (TNPDCL) will also procure up to 1,500 MW between midnight and 2 a.m. to bridge the supply shortfall. The purchases will cover October 12 to 31. The tender, issued through the Union governments Discovery of Efficient Electricity Price (DEEP) portal, invites supplies from private generators within and outside Tamil Nadu. The larger procurement will cover the period from 6 p.m. to midnight. Prices will be determined when contracts are finalised. The utility is already sourcing up to 3,000 MW through short-term purchases and power-swap arrangements, while buying a similar quantity through power exchanges during peak hours. A senior TNPDCL official said the extended summer had kept electricity requirements unusually high since September. Reduced wind output and lower supplies from central generating stations had made additional purchases necessary. The prolonged heat, attributed to El Nino conditions, has sustained heavy electricity use beyond summer, keeping the utility dependent on external supplies. The shortage was concentrated in the evening, the official said, while strong solar generation left the state with surplus electricity during daytime hours. Demand could ease if the northeast monsoon arrives by October 20. That would allow the utility to shut down some thermal units for annual maintenance ahead of next summer. However, a weak monsoon could force further purchases in November. On Tuesday, the state consumed 432.6 million units of electricity, approaching its highest daily consumption recorded last year. Peak demand reached 19,921 MW. TNPDCLs thermal stations supplied 80 million units, while central generating stations contributed 83.4 million units. Short-term purchases provided 38.5 million units and power exchanges another 36.5 million units. Energy Resources Minister R. Nirmalkumar said peak-hour demand had risen by 3,000 MW compared with last year. An expected 3,000 MW from the central pool was also unavailable, prompting the short-term tenders, he said. The minister said Tamil Nadu had already procured 4,500 MW from the open market and would arrange further purchases depending on demand. He attributed the pressure on supply partly to falling wind generation and reduced availability from central stations.

Ranji Trophy: Siddesh Lad, Ayush Mhatre Carry Weight Of Huge Legacy As Mumbai Chase 43rd Title
Mumbai Cricket Association: With 42 titles in their kitty, the current generation of Mumbai cricketers have to shoulder the weight of a humongous legacy when they step into the field for every Ranji Trophy edition. Having gone without a title in the last couple of seasons, the domestic giants are getting ready for their season-opener on Sunday, with captain Siddhesh Lad and his deputy Ayush Mhatre getting into new roles. Lad will handle captaincy on a permanent basis for the season for the first time, having led sporadically on various occasions, while Mhatre, the Under-19 World Cup-winning captain, is stepping into the vice-captain's role for the first time. Both Lad and Mhatre on Thursday admitted that Mumbai's unmatched dominance in the top domestic red-ball competition is something they have to live with, but felt that the pressure was something they can carry because of their experience and the preparations they have made for the season. Given Mumbais rich history, the 42 Ranji Trophy titles we have won and the legacy of players who have represented the team, there will always be pressure when you wear the Mumbai jersey. But as a unit, we want to embrace that pressure rather than run away from it. We understand the history and culture that come with representing Mumbai, and we are looking forward to the season, Lad said in a pre-season press conference organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Thursday. Mumbai will open their campaign in Group D in the national cricket championship against Chandigarh on Sunday and will travel to Bilaspur in Himachal for their next game starting on October 18. Lad and Mhatre will lead a young and energised Mumbai side which begins its campaign against Chandigarh at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. The team is a bit short on experience, with former India captain Ajinkya Rahane announcing his retirement at the end of the previous season and the selectors deciding not to include Suryakumar Yadav. Lad said Rahane's experience would be missed but felt he can always pick up the phone to discuss things with him if necessary. He was diplomatic in dealing with the SKY issue and said the decision was taken by the selectors and he would focus on the 15 players he has been handed. Mumbai do have a couple of team combination issues to sort out as all-rounder Shardul Thakur is still recovering from an injury and is sure to miss the opening match and is also doubtful for the second game against Himachal Pradesh. Lad said they will take confidence from the performances of pacer Tushar Deshpande, Tanush Kotian, Shams Mulani and Sarfaraz Khan. Mulani and Deshpande were part of the India A squad that played Australia A at home, while Sarfaraz turned out for Rest of India in their win over Jammu & Kashmir in the Irani Cup match. In the pre-season press conference at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, Lad and Mhatre shared insights into the teams preparations, tactical approach and ambitions for the upcoming red-ball season. Following his elevation to a leadership role, Mhatre elaborated on taking up responsibility and working alongside the seniors. He said: Being named vice-captain of Mumbai is a big responsibility and a very proud moment for me, especially given the stature of the team and what the Ranji Trophy means to Mumbai cricket. The support I have received from the team has been excellent, and I have never felt like I was treated differently because I am a youngster. Siddesh Lad has supported me a lot and always made me feel comfortable within the team. Mhatre, who has played for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), said he has picked up things about leadership by talking to former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. I have also learnt the importance of staying calm on the field. We have always seen how Mahendra Singh Dhoni remains calm, and one of the things I have learnt from him is that anger may last for five minutes, but decisions taken in anger can often be wrong. Once you calm down, you can think better. I have tried to follow that approach, stay composed on the field and make better decisions for myself and the team, he said. Mumbais 16-member squad blends experienced domestic campaigners with emerging young talent, with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Musheer Khan adding depth and pedigree as the side begins its pursuit of a record-extending 43rd Ranji Trophy title. Captain Lad brings extensive First-Class experience to the leadership group, having amassed over 5,600 runs across his domestic career. A key middle-order presence during the 202526 season, Lad provided Mumbai with stability and resilience in pressure situations. Vice-captain Mhatre continues his rapid rise in domestic cricket. The 19-year-old opening batter has scored 660 runs in 13 First-Class matches. Having returned from a hamstring injury that ruled him out earlier this year, Mhatres composure at the top of the order will be an important asset for Mumbais batting unit. Mumbai squad for first match of Ranji Trophy 2026-27: Vice-captain Mhatre continues his rapid rise in domestic cricket. The 19-year-old opening batter has scored 660 runs in 13 First-Class matches.

ISL 2026-27: 'Club-led model will make a huge difference for players and fans,' says Hnamte
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS) Sporting Club Delhi midfielder Lalrinliana Hnamte believes the Indian Super Leagues new club-led commercial model can bring greater investment and interest to the competition, saying the change could make a 'huge difference' for both players and fans. The Indian Super League (ISL) enters the 2026-27 season under a new commercial structure after the AIFF and the leagues clubs agreed in July to transfer the commercial rights to the clubs, while the federation retained administrative and regulatory oversight. The new arrangement is aimed at giving clubs greater responsibility for the leagues commercial and financial growth. Asked how the change could benefit the competition and players, Hnamte said clubs having greater commercial control could encourage them to invest more in their teams and take greater ownership of the league. I dont think much, but it will make more interest because the club will be willing to pay more and willing to take care of the club more. So as a fan and for the player, it will be a huge difference, a huge change, Hnamte replied to an IANS query during a media interaction. The 2026-27 season will also return to a full home-and-away format, with the playoffs back as part of the competition. Hnamte, who has joined SC Delhi ahead of the new season after representing clubs like Chennai FC, said he is entering the campaign in the best possible shape and has set his sights firmly on winning the league. This season is one of the best; mentally and physically Im ready. We are not here to compete; we are trying to win the league, so we are ready for that, he said. The midfielder also highlighted the hunger within SC Delhis young squad, saying the teams ambition goes beyond simply making up the numbers. And the group, we are very young, but we are hungry for the trophy. And I think it will be very great for us, and I think well have a great season, Hnamte added. Meanwhile, SC Delhi head coach Tomasz Tchorz said the club has not had to deal with the additional workload associated with players returning from recent international fixtures, as none of his players were involved with the national team during the current period. However, several Indian players from other ISL clubs have recently featured in international friendlies against strong opposition, including Brazil, raising questions over workload management ahead of the league season. In our case, there is not a problem because, unfortunately for our club and team, we didnt have any player playing for the national team this winter, Tchorz said. Obviously, other teams have to manage the load because some of the players played a few games in a short period of time against very demanding opponents, he added. The SC Delhi coach, however, acknowledged the value of such international exposure for the players involved. For those who played in these games, obviously, its a valuable experience, and they will have a lot of takeaways from these games. However, for us, it doesnt really matter because we are still working on delivering players to the national team, Tchorz said. SC Delhi had a poor campaign last season, where they finished in 12th position with just two wins to their name. They will face Bengaluru FC in their first match of the 2026-27 season.

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 8 (IANS) Tamil film superstar Rajinikanth has now met Tamil Nadu athlete Vithya Ramaraj and congratulated her for her brilliant performance at the recently concluded Asian Games in Nagoya in Japan. For the unaware, the star athlete had done the country proud by winning three medals -- a gold, silver and bronze -- at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. Sources said that Vithya Ramraj's trainer Nehpal Singh and the Chennai District Masters Athletic Association President M Shenbagamoorthy were also present during the meeting. They pointed out that Superstar Rajinikanth congratulated Vithya Ramaraj on her outstanding feat and for doing the country proud. It may be recalled that only a day earlier, actor Dhanush had met the ace athelete and congratulated her for impressive performances in athletics at the Asian Games. For the unaware, Vithya Ramraj did not just win three medals at the Asian Games. In the process of winning one of the medals, she also broke the 42-year-old national record held by legendary Indian athlete PT Usha. She broke the record in the womens 400m hurdles, an event in which Vithya won bronze. Vithya clocked a personal best of 54.75 seconds to finish third in a thrilling final, improving the previous national benchmark of 55.42 seconds by 0.67 seconds. The record had been set by Usha at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, where she finished fourth in the Olympic final. Vithya's outstanding performance helped her break a record that had stood as one of the longest-standing records in Indian athletics. The athlete also came in for immense praise for her efforts in powering India to gold in the womens 4x400m relay. Indias quartet of Kiran Pahal, M.R. Poovamma, Prachi and Vithya held their nerve in a tightly contested final to finish ahead of Bahrain, who clocked 3:30.21, while China claimed bronze in 3:31.02. The gold marked a fitting conclusion to a remarkable Games for Vithya, who added her third medal of the competition after winning silver and bronze in her other events. Vithya, who anchored the Indian team in the relay event, quickly settled into her rhythm and began eating into the gap at the front, making her move around the 200m mark. Her powerful surge in the final leg of the race helped India clinch gold in the eagerly awaited event.
Nainar Nagenthran attacks Vijay govt over alleged failure to stop sexual assaults on children
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 8 (IANS) Tamil Nadu BJP president, Nainar Nagenthran, has criticised Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijays government over two alleged sexual assaults on young girls, accusing the administration of failing to protect children and demanding swift prosecution and medical care for the latest victim. In a post on X, Nagenthran referred to the alleged sexual assault of a five-year-old girl belonging to a migrant workers family in Chennais Tiruvottiyur. He said the incident had caused widespread shock and grief across Tamil Nadu. Nagenthran said the latest allegation emerged while people were still coming to terms with an earlier incident in Gummidipoondi, where a three-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted and thrown into thorny bushes. Describing the Tiruvottiyur incident as heartbreaking, he expressed concern over the safety of children from economically vulnerable families who come to Tamil Nadu in search of employment and depend on the state for their livelihood. The BJP president alleged that repeated incidents of violence against women and children reflected a deterioration in law and order. He accused the Vijay administration of relying on empty promises while failing to address public safety concerns. He also criticised the Chief Minister, who, according to the post, controls the police and home portfolios, alleging that administrative inaction had created situations in which members of the public had to take to the streets to demand the apprehension of offenders. Nagenthran attributed what he described as criminals lack of fear of the law to alleged administrative corruption and the governments inexperience. He alleged that these shortcomings had contributed to widespread criminal activity across the state. Demanding stringent action in the Tiruvottiyur case, he called for the accused to be prosecuted under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act through a fast-track court and given the maximum punishment permitted by law. He urged the government to take responsibility for ensuring that the affected child received high-quality medical treatment. Nagenthran further called on Vijay to abandon what he termed image politics and give immediate priority to the safety of women and children. Warning of political consequences, he said the people of Tamil Nadu would teach the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government a lesson if it failed to maintain law and order. His statement combined demands for punishment and treatment with criticism of the governments handling of public safety in Tamil Nadu.

The resurgence begins in #Indian3 War Mode. Sources confirmed to IANS that post production was now in full swing as a considerable portion of the third instalment had been shot during the making of the second instalment itself. For the unaware, the first instalment of the 'Indian' franchise, 'Indian', which featured Kamal Haasan, Manisha Koirala and Urmila Matondkar in the lead, was first released in the year 1996. It went on to emerge a huge blockbuster. Its success led to director Shankar and actor Kamal Haasan consider the possibility of making a sequel to the hit film. In 2017, they announced 'Indian 2', the sequel to the first part. However, 'Indian 2' faced several delays, with its makers managing to complete it only in 2024. In fact, work on the film came to a grinding halt after a mishap on the sets of the film left three people dead and over 10 injured. The accident left everybody involved rattled with Shankar, Lyca and Kamal Haasan announcing financial aid to the families of those killed in the mishap.

After a lot of discussions, the disputes were resolved and shooting resumed, with popular production house Red Giant Movies stepping in to help with production. As the second instalment's duration was long, the makers decided to release the film as two parts -- 'Indian 2' and 'Indian 3', with actor Kamal Haasan making it evident that he was more excited about the third instalment of the franchise than the second. Now, two years after 'Indian 2' released, the makers have released a new poster from 'Indian 3', much to the joy of fans of the franchise.
Chennai to hold voter registration camps at 4,079 polling stations on October 10-11
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 8 (IANS) A two-day special voter registration drive will be held at all 4,079 polling stations across Chennai district on October 10 and 11, offering eligible residents an opportunity to enrol their names and update their electoral details. The camps, organised under the directions of the Election Commission of India, will operate from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. They will cover all 16 Assembly constituencies in the district. District Election Officer, G.S. Sameeran, said the exercise was intended to ensure that eligible citizens were included in the electoral rolls ahead of upcoming electoral revisions. Residents whose names have been omitted, people who have not registered and first-time voters have been urged to use the facility.

Eligible applicants should visit the centres at their respective polling stations with the supporting documents needed for registration. Proof of age and residence should be carried to the camps, according to the district election officer. These documents will support applications for enrolment and requests to update electoral details. The weekend schedule gives residents two days to approach their polling station centres.

The month of September proved to be a healthy one for the exhibition sector, while October began with a bang, thanks to the phenomenal performance of Drishyam The Conclusion. Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Executive Director, PVR INOX Limited, spoke exclusively with Bollywood Hungama about the strong box office performance, the success of Avengers Endgame: Encore, the innovative Drishyam Pav Bhaji offer, the excitement surrounding Ramayana, the expansion of IMAX screens and a lot more. How was the month of September and the first week of October for PVR INOX? September was very good, dominated by Hanuman Ansh, of course (smiles). No one expected it to become such a sleeper hit. It exploded at the box office and has done business of close to Rs. 400 crores. That's heartening for us, as it proves yet again that anything can happen in this business. Then, Mirzapur The Movie did very well, and towards the end of the month, The Vvaan also performed strongly in cinemas. These films gave us the desired footfalls and the results we were looking for. So, I am very happy with how September shaped up for us. October has started with a bang, thanks to Drishyam The Conclusion. It has already earned Rs. 162 crores over the weekend and is still going strong. What's amazing is that people have loved the film and are talking about it. This only means that it is going to sustain well and perform even better than we had expected. We also released the Japanese film Doraemon: Castle Of The Undersea Devil, which collected around Rs. 8 crores over the weekend. That was a pleasant surprise. Our weekend admissions stood at 30 lakhs, which is a huge number and among the highest we have ever recorded. Also, we have three more films coming up in October before Ramayana takes over in November Udta Teer, Prahaar and Nayyi Navelli. They belong to diverse genres and their trailers look promising. Hence, these films have the potential to add significantly to our admissions this month. PVR INOX came up with an interesting offer buy four tickets for Drishyam The Conclusion and get one Pav Bhaji free. The creative announcing the offer was widely shared on social media. How important is it to provide such incentives to moviegoers? We keep thinking of different offers, and this particular idea came from the producers, if I am not mistaken. It was quite different and innovative (laughs). We are not a passive brand that believes people will automatically flock to cinemas whenever a film releases. That's obviously not true. A lot goes into building and running cinemas. One of the things we actively focus on is promotions and marketing to make the moviegoing experience more attractive for our patrons. That's why we offer discounted ticket prices on Tuesdays and weekday mornings. We also have several offers in association with banks and credit card companies. Our marketing and promotions team constantly strives to come up with innovative offers that encourage people to visit our cinemas. The re-release of Avengers Endgame: Encore has also been very successful at the box office... That was another pleasant surprise. It was a re-release with some new footage, which enticed audiences to return to cinemas. It's also a great precursor to Avengers: Doomsday, which releases in December. The franchise has a massive following. Hollywood has been phenomenal this year. Spider-Man: Brand New Day did more than Rs. 400 crores, while The Odyssey collected around Rs. 200 crores. Obsession, a relatively small film that not many people had heard of, went on to do Rs. 100 crores. Films like The Devil Wears Prada 2, Michael and Project Hail Mary also attracted audiences to cinemas. This year, films across genres and languages have performed well at the box office. Our hypothesis is that people are getting bored of sitting at home and are increasingly enjoying the communal experience of watching a film together on the big screen.

I hope, for everyone's sake and ours too, that the film turns out to be a huge grosser. It has all the ingredients needed to become a massive blockbuster. So, I am very hopeful and optimistic about its box office prospects. The IMAX format has become increasingly popular among moviegoers. Is PVR INOX planning to open any new IMAX screens this year? We have one more IMAX screen coming up at Pacific Mall in Jaipur. The mall opens this Sunday, October 11, and we hope to have the cinema operational before Ramayana releases. We also have another IMAX screen planned for this financial year in Chennai.

TN allocates over Rs 212 crore for police weapons, drones, patrol vehicles
Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 8 (IANS) Tamil Nadus Home Department has issued a government order allocating Rs 212.58 crore to equip the police with modern weapons, drones, surveillance systems and vehicles, as part of efforts to strengthen operational capabilities and emergency response. The package covers purchases for specialised police units, district surveillance networks, bomb disposal teams and investigative agencies. It also provides for improvements in communications, digital forensics and monitoring facilities at police stations across the state. A major component is the purchase of 500 new jeeps at a cost of Rs 55 crore. The vehicles will strengthen emergency policing services and be linked to the emergency response system, supporting patrol operations and responses to calls for assistance. The Tamil Nadu Special Police will receive 12 sniper rifles with day and night sighting capabilities, 10 grenade launchers, 30 Bulgarian 7.62 mm assault rifles, 50 other rifles and 10 light machine guns. The procurement list also includes three corner shot systems, 50 Glock-17 pistols and 50 paintball guns for training. Drone purchases will expand aerial surveillance capabilities. Four drones fitted with thermal imaging cameras and loudspeakers will be procured for Rs 1.18 crore, while another four advanced drones costing Rs 2.07 crore will be acquired for the Rapid Action Force. Thanjavur district police have been allocated Rs 15.67 crore under the Smart Surveillance Project. The funds will be used to purchase modern surveillance cameras and drone cameras for areas including Kumbakonam, Pattukkottai and Thiruvaiyaru. Bomb disposal units will receive seven advanced bomb suits with international certification, costing Rs 3.50 crore. Additional purchases include explosive detection equipment, 200 advanced walkie-talkies supporting 4G and 5G connectivity, 50 vehicle dashboard cameras and artificial intelligence-based surveillance systems.

TECHNOLOGY & NATIONAL SECURITY Kashmir knows what it is to lose a connection by order. India recorded 65 internet shutdowns in 2025, according to Access Now, and in Jammu and Kashmir the authorities went after VPN users under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, penalising roughly 800 people. Satellite broadband looks like the answer. A dish on a rooftop in a high-altitude village needs no local tower and no fibre run. In early September, the Digital Communications Commission approved a spectrum framework that moves Starlink, Eutelsat OneWeb and Jios satellite venture closer to commercial launch. But a network with no towers still has a throat. Every one of these services must land its traffic at a gateway on Indian soil, and whoever controls the gateway controls the switch. What the framework approves, and what it does not According to MediaNama, the commission cleared TRAIs recommendations on 3 September. Spectrum would be assigned for five years, with a possible two-year extension, at 5 per cent of adjusted gross revenue. Operators serving rural and remote areas may get a 4 per cent rate. The Department of Telecommunications rejected a proposed Rs 500 annual levy on urban subscribers. Three steps remain: Union Cabinet approval, formal spectrum assignment, and security clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs. The draft spectrum rules reported in June go further. They require government approval before consumer services launch, and they require authorisation to connect a satellite network to public telecom infrastructure. Starlinks own plans show where the weight sits. MediaNama reports about 20 earth stations across Noida, Chennai and Navi Mumbai, a capacity of up to 2 million users, and a terminal costing around Rs 33,000. Two million connections would run through a few facilities in three cities. A shutdown that moves from the tower to the gateway Today, a suspension order in Kashmir lands on telecom operators and their local infrastructure, district by district. It is blunt, and it is visible. Satellite links change the mechanics. If traffic for a whole footprint passes through a handful of gateways, one lawful order to one facility could darken a large area at once. The dish on the roof is hard to cut. The gateway in Noida is easy to switch off. That is my inference, and it has limits. The licence conditions that would govern gateway shutdowns are not public, and I could not verify whether they allow targeted, area-by-area suspension. What is public is the direction. MediaNama reported in June that security agencies under the Home Ministry had frozen Starlinks final clearances and wanted monitoring systems inside India and regular reporting to law enforcement. Starlink disputed the freeze and called its talks with the government active and productive. The design has a security logic. A gateway on Indian soil is the only place where Delhi can enforce anything against a foreign operator. It is also the place where a promise of shutdown-proof connectivity gets tested. The beam does not read maps MediaNama also reports that agencies are examining signal spillover near the borders. A satellite footprint over the Valley does not stop at the Line of Control. The same constellation that serves Gurez serves territory on the other side. Terminals add a second worry. The Indian Army recovered what it described as a Starlink device with weapons in Manipur in December 2024, per MediaNama, and terminals worked in Iran during that countrys conflict without proper licensing. A Rs 33,000 terminal fits in a rucksack. The states likely response is tighter control at the two points it can reach: the gateway and the terminal registry. Both are felt first by the legitimate user in a remote district. The smuggler who skips the registry still depends on a gateway that will carry the traffic, which is why the location of that gateway matters so much to security agencies. The steelman Keeping gateways in India is better than the alternative. A foreign operator running a network over Indian territory with no domestic control point would be a sovereignty problem of a different kind, and the Iran episode shows why agencies worry. Satellite links also survive physical damage that would take a tower or a cable offline, and that has real value in a region of floods and snowfall. So the argument is narrower. Resilience and control are being sold as one product, and they are two. The first protects users from accidents. The second protects the state from users, and the licence conditions will decide which one dominates. Bottom Line Satellite broadband will make Indias border regions harder to cut off by accident. It will also make them easier to switch off on purpose, from a few buildings in Noida, Chennai and Navi Mumbai. Before the Cabinet signs off, Delhi should publish the conditions under which a gateway can be ordered dark, and say who reviews that order. Kashmir has lived with the unpublished version for long enough. (The Author studies Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA.

Building J&Ks Place in Indias GCC Future
On 9 and 10 October 2026, something quite interesting is going to happen at IIM Jammu. The J&K GCC Summit 2026, being organised by IIM Jammu in collaboration with the Government of Jammu and Kashmir and in knowledge partnership with NASSCOM, will bring together some of the countrys leading Global Capability Centre (GCC) companies, policymakers, academics and industry leaders. But I believe the significance of these two days goes well beyond a summit. For perhaps the first time, some of the senior-most administrative leaders of Jammu and Kashmir will sit across the table with leaders of Indias GCC industry in a series of candid, no-holds-barred conversations about a question that matters deeply to us: What will it take for Jammu and Kashmir to enter Indias growing GCC ecosystem, and to do so as a credible Tier-2 and Tier-3 destination? That may sound like a familiar proposition at a business summit. It is not. Economic growth is ultimately driven by two sets of stakeholdersthe government that creates the enabling environment and the businesses that take the risk of investing in it. Genuine growth begins when these two sides are willing to listen to each other, ask difficult questions and speak honestly about what works and what does not. That is precisely the spirit in which we are approaching the J&K GCC Summit. Let me explain why In June 2025, a train crossed the Chenab on the worlds highest railway arch bridge, connecting the Kashmir Valley to the national rail network. The bridge was decades in the making. Its deeper value, however, can be expressed in one word that matters as much to an investor as it does to a traveller: predictability. A journey that once depended heavily on weather and a single highway can now be planned with greater certainty. That is the journey we want to begin for J&Ks GCC ecosystem. Building a significant GCC destination will not happen overnight. It may take years. Perhaps decades. But the journey can be made predictable if we learn from those who have already travelled it. Be they leading GCC companies or States that have successfully attracted such investments. That is why the Summit is bringing industry leaders together with representatives of States such as Gujarat, Bihar and Tamil Nadu, which have valuable lessons to share. We do not intend to reinvent the wheel. We want to understand what has worked elsewhere, what has not, and what can be adapted to J&Ks own circumstances. The opportunity before us India already hosts more than 2,200 capability centres employing around 1.9 million professionals and generating close to USD 65 billion in annual exports. Importantly, more than 220 of these centres have already chosen Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. The next phase of the GCC story is increasingly moving beyond the established metropolitan centres, with locations outside the metros expected to account for a substantial share of the sectors future workforce. This is where J&K must position itself. The question is not whether Jammu and Kashmir can replicate Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai or Pune. We should not try to become another metro. Our opportunity lies in becoming a different kind of GCC destination. Over the last decade, the case for J&K has changed significantly. Rail and road connectivity has been transformed and air connectivity has expanded. The Union Territory today has an institutional ecosystem that includes an IIM, an IIT and an AIIMS, alongside CSIR-IIIM, NIT Srinagar, the Islamic University of Science and Technology, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University and the prestigious Universities of Jammu /Kashmir, among several other institutions offering new-age and specialised programmes. In addition to that we also have something that every GCC ultimately needshuman resource. Jammu and Kashmir has a young, educated and increasingly aspirational population. Its universities and technical institutions are producing talent across disciplines. Office, talent and utility costs remain competitive compared to established metropolitan locations. And the security environment today provides a foundation for businesses to plan for the long term. Yet a good proposition is not enough. An investor looking at a new location will ask some very practical questions. Who will take my decision? How long will my approvals take? Where will my people sit on the first day? And who will do the work? The answers to these questions can determine where a GCC chooses to locate, often more decisively than the headline value of an incentive. We have to answer each of them The first is facilitation. The hardest part of entering a new region for an established business is often not the investment itself, but understanding whom to approach and how to navigate the system. In J&K, an investor should not have to make multiple rounds of enquiries across Departments. The investor should have one phone call or one email to make. We therefore need a named facilitation officer, with the authority to convene Departments, resolve issues and remain accountable as a single point of contact for the prospective investor. If banks can provide relationship managers to their customers, there is no reason why government cannot provide the same degree of institutional ownership to an investor. The second question is time Approvals relating to registration, premises, power, fire safety and labour compliance should carry clear and published timelines. These should be tracked through the single-window system and, importantly, measured against actual performance. An investor can plan around a known timeline. It is uncertainty that stalls a project. Strict adherence to prescribed timelines translates to confidence which is quintessential for attracting investments. The third question is space and infrastructure J&K needs to identify and earmark ready-to-occupy office spaces in both Jammu and Srinagar, with floor plates, tenure and tariffs clearly stated in advance. A GCC that decides to come here should be able to occupy its premises within months, not years. The space has to exist before the decision is made. There is also a unique advantage here that few locations can offer. Jammu and Srinagar are two major cities within one Union Territory, under one administration, one policy framework and one institutional point of contact. They draw upon different talent pools and can potentially serve as primary and continuity locations for the same GCC. A company should be able to scale across both cities without having to navigate two different administrations. The fourth question is people Our commitment has to be simple: skilling must respond to actual employer demand. Here comes the role of Mission YUVA and our technical institutions. Mission YUVA, the Skill Development institutions, our universities and the ITI network being upgraded under PM-SETU must increasingly train people for specific roles, in specific numbers and within specific timelines. The Department of Labour and Employment, which is spearheading the organisation of the Summit, will have an important role in translating industry conversations into an actionable talent strategy. This is also where the GCC opportunity becomes much more than an investment proposition. A GCC does not merely bring an office. It brings new skills, new career paths, new technologies and new aspirations. For a young person in Jammu or Srinagar, the arrival of a global company should mean that a world-class career no longer necessarily requires leaving home for Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai or Delhi. That is the human dividend we must keep at the centre of this conversation. And then comes the most important question of all: Who will be the first? The first GCC centre matters disproportionately. Every subsequent investor will ask: Who else is already here? The answer today has to change from zero. An anchor GCC can do more than create direct employment. A centre employing 500 professionals can support a comparable ecosystem of opportunities in facilities, transport, hospitality, food services, professional services and other allied sectors. Securing that first anchor tenant is therefore not just another investment target. It is the decisive step in establishing confidence. The administration will concentrate its efforts accordingly. This is why the J&K GCC Summit matters. Every panel, every panellist, every question and every answer over these two days will be an opportunity for us to learn and, equally important, to allow industry to tell us what it needs from us. We are not approaching the Summit merely to showcase J&K. We are approaching it to listen. If we want global capability centres to look beyond the metros, then we must demonstrate that a Tier-2 or Tier-3 location can offer something equally compelling: access to talent, competitive costs, quality institutions, reliable infrastructure, responsive governance and, above all, confidence that commitments made today will hold tomorrow. Jammu and Kashmir has many of these ingredients. The task before us is to bring them together into an ecosystem that works. Our entrepreneurial spirit is gathering momentum. Our young people are increasingly looking towards new-age sectors and new forms of enterprise. The GCC ecosystem can benefit from this talent and ambition, even as its presence here can accelerate the development of that very ecosystem. The Path Forward I do not believe J&K needs to become the biggest GCC destination in India. I believe it can become one of the most differentiated. We have learnt something from building the Chenab Rail Bridge. Great journeys begin with an audacious idea, but they are completed through engineering, patience, persistence and thousands of smaller decisions made correctly along the way. The GCC journey will be no different. We have the ambition. We have the foundations. We have a growing pool of talent. What we now need is execution, industry partnership and the patience to build for the long term. The first J&K GCC Summit is therefore not the culmination of a journey. It is the beginning of one. And if we get the beginning right, I believe the destination is within reach. A GCC ecosystem that proves that the next generation of Indias growth need not come only from its largest cities, but can also emerge from its most promising Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres. Jammu and Kashmir is ready to make that journey. The promise is not that it will happen overnight. The promise is that we are ready to make it happen.
