'Healthy competition' helps Tanya Chaudhary set national record in hammer throw
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) A healthy competition with fellow trainee Anushka Yadav proved beneficial for Tanya Chaudhary of Uttar Pradesh as he set the national record in women's hammer throw in the Indian Athletics Series Final in New Delhi. It was like the fulfilment of a dream for Tanya, and the fact that she set a new mark just before the upcoming Asian Games was like icing on the cake as the 22-year-old took the spotlight on the opening day of the meet on Thursday. Day One of the prize-money meet saw two national records being set in the hammer throw, with Tanya achieving the feat that she has been chasing for the past three years. Tanya achieved her quest by improving the national record in the womens hammer throw as she hurled the iron ball to a distance of 68.35m, improving the national record of 65.25m, which was set by Sarita Singh in 2017. My previous personal best is 63.91m. I have done 65m-plus two or three times (at the inter-university level), but those were not official. Now, I am able to do it (break the national record). It is a new beginning, she said. Normally, I used to be nervous. But I was focused on my technique today. Tanya, who trains along with Anushka at the same ground at Bhagpat in Uttar Pradesh under different coaches, said the healthy competition helped her move forward. We both are from the same ground. So, there is healthy competition between us. So, it is good for both of us to move forward. Though Tanya could not breach the Asian Games qualifying mark, she has made it to the team for the mega event in Aichi-Nagoya in Japan and is looking forward to continuing the momentum in Japan. It was because of injury. Now I feel I will do better. I had multiple injuries at the same time: a hamstring injury and a stress injury in the femur bone. The injuries were going on since January. In the men's section, Delhis Nirbhay Choudhary recorded a throw of 71.02m, which was better than the previous national record of 70.73m set by Neeraj Kumar in 2016. The other major attraction for Indian athletics fans was the successful return to action by Avinash Sable in the men's 3000m steeplechase. Sable, representing Maharashtra, won the steeplechase in a time of 8 minutes 32.39 seconds in his first race in the distance in more than a year. Spotlight was also on 400m runners as the top six finishers in the mens race clocked below 46 seconds. Top three in the womens 400m race also dipped below 53 seconds. I will do better and win a medal at the Japan Asian Games, said Vishal TK, winner of the gold medal and national 400m record holder, in the post-race interaction. Maharashtras promising sprinter Harita Bhadra, winner of the womens 100m dash, said the Indian Athletics Series Final was good preparation for the Asian Games. It was a good experience for me to race in the 100m dash with the top sprinters, Harita added. Odishas Animesh Kujur won both the 100m and 200m dash in the mens section. Results: Men: 100m: Animesh Kujur (Odisha) 10.21 seconds, Gurindervir Singh (Punjab) 10.32 seconds, Rushiprasad Desai (Maharashtra) 10.33 seconds. 200m: Animesh Kujur (Odisha) 20.59 secs, Jishnu Prasad (Kerala) 20.63 secs, Abhay Singh (Madhya Pradesh) 21.04 secs. 400m: Vishal TK (Tamil Nadu) 45.36 seconds, Jay Kumar (Uttar Pradesh) 45.50 seconds, Manu TS (Kerala) 45.68 seconds. 800m: Mohammed Afsal (Kerala) 1:46.40 secs, Prakash Gadade (Maharashtra) 1:46.56 secs, Krishan Kumar (Haryana) 1:46.73 secs. 1500m: Rahul Baloda (Rajasthan) 3:39.89 secs, Yoonus Shah (Uttar Pradesh) 3:40.37 secs, Sunil Dawar (Madhya Pradesh) 3:43.68 secs. 110m hurdles: Krishik M (Karnataka) 13.65 secs, Muhammed Lazan (Kerala) 13.84 secs, Manav R (Tamil Nadu) 13.85 secs. 400m hurdles: Santhosh Kumar (Tamil Nadu) 50.08 secs, Ruchit Mori (Gujarat) 50.61 secs, Subhas Das (West Bengal) 50.73 secs. 3,000m steeplechase: Avinash Sable (Maharashtra) 3:32.39.

Delhi's young athletes to receive Rs 2,000 monthly incentive at grassroots level: CM Rekha Gupta
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) The Delhi government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has taken a decision to nurture sporting talent at the grassroots level and help young athletes progress to higher levels of competition by providing them Rs 2,000 monthly incentive. At a Cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister on Thursday, the Delhi government approved the introduction of the 'Grassroot Training Support Assistance' component under the 'Mukhyamantri Khel Protsahan Yojana' (MKPY), an official statement said. Under the new initiative, eligible young athletes who regularly train at Delhi government sports centres and stadiums will receive financial assistance of Rs 2,000 per month. The aim is to remove financial barriers that can disrupt training and ensure that young athletes have access to continuous training from the early stages. Chief Minister Gupta said the new assistance scheme expands the reach of the 'Mukhyamantri Khel Protsahan Yojana' to the grassroots level. In their initial years, athletes often have to meet regular expenses on nutrition, local travel, basic sporting equipment and medical needs. The monthly assistance of Rs 2,000 will help them continue their training without interruption. This will reduce the likelihood of talented athletes dropping out of training and help Delhi government sports centres and stadiums develop as strong hubs for grassroots talent development. Under the new arrangement, assistance will be provided to up to 25 per cent of the regularly enrolled trainees at each government sports centre or stadium. Normally, a maximum of 100 athletes at any one stadium or centre will be covered. At larger stadiums with a higher number of trainees, this limit may be increased to 150 athletes, subject to budget availability. The scheme will cover athletes in the Under-14, Under-17, Under-19 and Under-21 age groups. Beneficiaries will be selected based on sporting performance and potential, regular attendance and discipline, and financial need. Eligible athletes will be required to fulfil the prescribed conditions, including regular enrolment and at least 80 per cent attendance. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said there will be a structured process for selecting beneficiaries, with their performance, attendance and discipline reviewed every quarter. This will help ensure that the assistance reaches young athletes who are training regularly and have the potential to progress in sport. The new initiative further expands the existing framework of the 'Mukhyamantri Khel Protsahan Yojana'. The Chief Minister added that under the existing Training Support module, top-ranked athletes at the school level are provided assistance of up to Rs 5 lakh per year for coaching, equipment, participation in competitions, nutrition and other training-related requirements. Elite athletes representing Delhi and India at the highest level may receive assistance of up to Rs 20 lakh per year. Under participation support, eligible expenses related to participation in recognised international competitions are reimbursed up to Rs 2 lakh per athlete.

BRICS should make positive policy on Fourth Industrial Revolution: Manish Tewari
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) Ahead of the 18th BRICS Summit in the national capital on September 12 and 13, Congress leader Manish Tewari urged the nations involved in the international grouping to work on a positive policy regarding the frontier technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, that would dominate the remaining 74 years of the 21st century. Speaking to IANS, Tewari said: The BRICS summit is happening at a point in time when the foremost issue facing humanity is with regard to the frontier technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Whoever dominates the race in these frontier technologies will ultimately dominate the remaining 74 years of the 21st century. He added that most of the progress taking place in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, the Internet of Things, and genomics, etc., is happening in the Global North. Therefore, the divide between the Global North and Global South is getting accentuated and enhanced, the Congress MP opined. Tewari said: The fundamental thing is that the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which are going to have a very positive and negative impact on humanity, should be kept in mind, and BRICS and the developed countries, which are called the Global South, need to make a positive policy on this. Meanwhile, BJP leader Gourav Vallabh said: Eleven countries are part of it, and these 11 countries account for around 40 per cent of the world's population. About 2830 per cent of global international trade takes place through these countries. So, when the heads of these 11 countries sit together at the same table, it becomes possible to find solutions to even the most difficult problems.'' Earlier on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India is gearing up for the high-profile event. PM Modi shared a video on social media platform X, showing Bharat Mandapam -- the venue of the BRICS Summit -- all decked up to welcome world leaders. The video ended with a text that read, India is gearing up for BRICS 2026. While sharing the video on X, PM Modi wrote, All set for BRICS 2026! Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and several other leaders will visit the Indian capital to attend the summit.
BJP slams Congress, Karnataka govt for defying Vande Mataram legislation
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) BJP National Spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on Thursday slammed the Congress and its government in Karnataka for going against a legislation passed by Parliament that stipulates rendering all the paragraphs in Vande Mataram as penned by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee when sung at any government programmes or official functions. Pointing out that state songs in Opposition-ruled states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu also mention bowing before the motherland, he sought to know if raising issues over the National Song does not mean surrendering before extremist and secessionist forces. Congress stands alienated from its alliance partners on the issue of singing Vande Mataram, with only the Muslim League standing in its support, alleged the BJP leader. Trivedi was referring to the Congress recently criticising even its ally National Conference over the singing of the full version of the National Song at the inauguration of the International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference leader and state Chief Minister Omar Abdullah reacted, saying it is now a statutory requirement and has to be followed. Trivedi also hit out at the Karnataka government for passing an order directing that only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram be sung at official events in the state. Every citizen of India knows that no state Assembly can pass a law against a legislation passed by Parliament, he stressed. This (state order) is not illegal and comical but also mirrors the inherent character of the Congress party that it wants to keep the Constitution in its pocket, he charged. He also recalled a comment from Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) National General Secretary Elyas Muhammad Thumbe that they had an understanding with the Congress during the 2018 Karnataka Assembly elections to avoid a split in minority votes. Since he made this statement in the 2023 state polls, the BJP has targeted the Congress for alleged links with the controversial outfit. Adding that the Congress party has denied this, Trivedi pointed out that SDPI, the alleged political arm of the banned Islamist organisation Popular Front of India (PFI), first spoke of contesting 100 Assembly seats, then 54 and then contested in only 16 seats and fought so valiantly that it lost all, and even had their security deposit forfeited. This, he insisted, strengthened doubts about a tacit poll understanding between the two. Trivedi pointed to Karnatakas song hailing the state as mother, as did the state song of Tamil Nadu. This dichotomy shows the opposition is not over social or religious issues, but rather goes to show total surrender before extremism and secessionism and the Muslim League, he claimed. He also took a swipe at the state leadership of the Congress in Kerala, where the party is now in power, heading an alliance. In Kerala, incumbent Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan on 7 February, 2026, according to media reports, gave a statement that he has no reservation about getting the support of JamaateIslami there and is openly running a government with the Muslim League, he added. The Congress party has taken a rigid stance on singing only the first two paragraphs of the song at all party events, citing it as a decision made in 1937 as advised by Rabindranath Tagore. This has been a subject of controversy, with the BJP terming it an act of appeasement and a violation of law.

Delhi HC bars GST registration without biometric Aadhaar authentication
The Delhi High Court has ordered that Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration is no longer permissible without biometric-based Aadhaar authentication. A bench of Justices Anil Kshetarpal and Shail Jain passed the order on petitions alleging fraudulent GST registrations using the petitioners' PAN card and Aadhaar card numbers. In the order passed on September 8, the bench observed that earlier, while answering a question on fraudulent GST registration in Parliament, the minister concerned disclosed that in 2023-2024, there were 2,800 fraudulent GST registrations involving Rs 15,085 crore of tax evasion, and that in 20242025, there were 1,654 fraudulent registrations and 13,109 crore of tax evasion were detected. The bench said although it was also disclosed that biometric authentication through Aadhaar would be mandatory for GST registration, the statement had not yet been implemented, which resulted in continuous fake registrations using stolen or frozen PAN/Aadhaar details.

IndiGo flight from Lucknow to Dammam diverted to Ahmedabad after bomb threat
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Sep 10 (IANS) An IndiGo flight from Lucknow to Dammam in Saudi Arabia made an emergency landing at Ahmedabad airport on Thursday evening after a bomb threat was reported onboard, prompting security agencies to launch a search of the aircraft. IndiGo flight 6E097 landed at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA) in Ahmedabad at around 5:45 p.m. after a crew member found a piece of paper bearing the word bomb on the aircraft, sources said. All passengers and crew members were safely disembarked, they added. According to information available with airport authorities, the aircraft had 133 people on board, including passengers and crew. An earlier police account had put the number at 107 passengers and six crew members. Following the landing, the passengers and crew were taken off the aircraft and security protocols were activated. The local police and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel began searching the aircraft, while the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) was also carrying out checks. No suspicious object had been found on board, officials said. The security agencies are continuing their checks to establish the nature of the threat. The incident comes days after another international flight was diverted to Ahmedabad following a similar bomb threat. On August 31, an Air India Express flight from Dammam to New Delhi, carrying 32 passengers, made an emergency landing at Ahmedabad after a crew member found a tissue paper bearing a message claiming that there was a bomb on board. The threat was subsequently found to be a hoax. In that case, a threat note found in the aircraft's lavatory led investigators to conduct a handwriting comparison involving people who had been on board, with a crew member later coming under the scanner, according to reports. The investigation into that incident is continuing. The latest incident also comes amid a series of bomb-threat alerts in Gujarat in recent days, including threats sent to courts in Ahmedabad and Surat earlier this month. Police and security agencies had conducted searches following the threats, which were later described by Gujarat Police as hoaxes.

Bihar Congress issues show-cause notices to 32 leaders over anti-party activities
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 10 (IANS) The ongoing internal tussle over organisational affairs and leadership in the Bihar Congress has escalated, with the partys state disciplinary committee issuing show-cause notices to 32 leaders over alleged anti-party activities. The leaders have been asked to explain their positions and respond to the allegations levelled against them. The move comes amid growing discontent within the state unit over organisational functioning and leadership. The list of leaders who have received notices includes former MLAs Anil Singh and Poonam Devi, as well as Bharat Bhushan Dubey, former West Champaran district Congress president. Show-cause notices have also been issued to Mrityunjay Singh, former Aurangabad district president; Satyendra Yadav, former Madhepura district president; and Vidhu Shekhar Pandey, former Siwan district president. According to party sources, the disciplinary committee took the action after taking note of public statements and activities by several leaders that were allegedly against the interests of the organisation. The development has intensified political activity within the Bihar Congress, with attention now focused on how the 32 leaders respond to the notices. The disciplinary action follows growing signs of dissatisfaction within the Bihar Congress over organisational issues and the functioning of the state leadership. According to party sources, disgruntled leaders had openly raised their concerns in recent days and even staged a protest before the Congress high command in Delhi on September 8. The latest notices indicate that the state leadership has adopted a stricter approach towards internal dissent and alleged anti-party activities. It remains to be seen whether the explanations submitted by the 32 leaders will help ease the differences within the Bihar Congress or lead to further escalation of the internal dispute. The Bihar Congress has been grappling with internal disputes since the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, in which the party performed poorly. The current state Congress president, Rajesh Ram, also lost the Assembly election from his seat in the Aurangabad district. Since then, a section of Bihar Congress leaders has openly raised concerns over the leadership of Rajesh Ram and the party's Bihar in-charge, Krishna Allavaru. They have alleged that the party's policies and organisational decisions contributed to its poor performance in the Assembly election.
