Digital Desk | Bilaspur/Manali, Oct 6 (IANS) President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday honoured 92 doctors from the 2020 batch at the first convocation ceremony of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh. The doctors received their degrees dressed in traditional kurta-pyjama and caps. The President presented gold medals to five students who topped their respective categories and distributed degrees among the other graduating doctors. The ceremony began with a group photograph of the graduating batch. The AIIMS administration had prescribed the attire for both male and female graduates for the convocation. President Murmu arrived at the AIIMS Bilaspur helipad at around 10.35 a.m. and proceeded directly to the convocation venue. Union Health and Family Welfare Minister J.P. Nadda, Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla and Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu were among the senior leaders who attended the ceremony. During the event, the AIIMS administration presented President Murmu with a traditional Ransingha as a commemorative memento. She was also presented with idols of Baba Balak Nath and Shri Naina Devi as ceremonial gifts. The convocation ceremony marks an important milestone for the institute and the first batch of MBBS students who have completed their medical education at AIIMS Bilaspur. After her Bilaspur engagement, President Murmu is scheduled to travel towards Manali. On October 7, she will visit the Hidimba Temple and the Atal Tunnel at Rohtang in the Lahaul-Spiti district. The visit to the tunnel is part of the President's official programme announced by the President's Secretariat. From 8 p.m. on Tuesday until noon on Wednesday, the movement of regular vehicles from Palchan towards the Atal Tunnel Rohtang will remain closed. No vehicles of any kind will be allowed to proceed along the designated route during this period, the local administration said. The administration has appealed to local residents and tourists to plan their travel accordingly and use alternative routes if necessary. In view of the Presidents visit, security and traffic arrangements have also been tightened. The Atal Tunnel, which provides all-weather connectivity between Manali and the Lahaul Valley, is an important infrastructure link in the region. The President's visit comes after her proposed visit to the tunnel during her earlier Himachal Pradesh tour in April was cancelled because of adverse weather conditions. President Murmu, who is staying in the picturesque tourist resort Manali, is scheduled to conclude her Himachal Pradesh visit on October 8 and return to New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited AIIMS Bilaspur on October 5, 2022, and inaugurated the institution. The foundation stone of the hospital was also laid by the Prime Minister in October 2017, and was established under the Central sector scheme Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana. AIIMS Bilaspur, constructed at a cost of more than Rs 1,470 crore, is a state-of-the-art hospital with 18 speciality and 17 super speciality departments, 18 modular operation theatres, and 750 beds with 64 ICU beds. Spread over 247 acres, the hospital is equipped with 24-hour emergency and dialysis facilities. Also, specialist health services are being provided by the hospital through health camps in inaccessible tribal and high Himalayan regions like Kaza, Saluni, and Keylong. Likewise, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the strategically important, all-weather Atal Tunnel connecting Manali to the Lahaul-Spiti valley on October 3, 2000. Atal Tunnel is the longest highway tunnel in the world. The 9.02-km-long tunnel connects Manali to the Lahaul-Spiti valley throughout the year. Earlier, the valley was cut off for about six months each year owing to heavy snowfall. The tunnel is built with ultra-modern specifications in the Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas at an altitude of 3,000 metres (10,000 feet). The tunnel reduces the road distance by 46 km between Manali and Leh and the time by about four to five hours. The South Portal of the Atal Tunnel is located at a distance of 25 km from Manali at an altitude of 3,060 metres, while the North Portal of the tunnel is located near Teling village in Sissu in the Lahaul Valley at an altitude of 3,071 metres. It is a horseshoe-shaped, single-tube double-lane tunnel with a roadway of eight metres. It has an overhead clearance of 5.525 metres. The tunnel has been designed for a traffic density of 3,000 cars a day and 1,500 trucks per day, with a maximum speed of 80 km per hour.

Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, along with several other INDIA bloc leaders, were also briefly detained after they were stopped from heading towards the ECI's office. Gandhi was stopped by several layers of police barricades while attempting to proceed towards the ECI headquarters.

Police have instructed security forces to be fully prepared to deal with any situation. Necessary arrangements have been made to control the crowd and maintain law and order.

Delhi court grants regular bail to influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj in assault case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) The Patiala House Court has granted regular bail to self-styled influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj, who was arrested in connection with the alleged assault of the father of a minor activist during a protest at Jantar Mantar. The court had earlier, on September 15, granted Bhardwaj three weeks interim bail with conditions while considering his regular bail plea. Bhardwaj is accused of assaulting Sanjay Kumar, father of a minor protester, during a demonstration at Jantar Mantar in July. The Delhi Police had earlier said that the injuries sustained by the complainant were simple in nature and were allegedly caused by a steel bracelet. The FIR invokes relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and provisions relating to criminal intimidation. During the hearing of Bhardwajs bail plea in September, the Patiala House Court had questioned the Delhi Police on whether he had used caste-indicative words during the alleged incident. The prosecution had submitted that the initial complaint did not mention the use of any such language and that the allegation was made subsequently when the complainants statement was recorded again, following which provisions of the SC/ST Act were added to the FIR. Bhardwaj was detained in Uttar Pradeshs Bulandshahr district on September 4, hours after representatives of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) met senior Delhi Police officials and demanded his arrest. The Delhi High Court had earlier dismissed a habeas corpus petition filed by Bhardwaj challenging his arrest in the alleged assault case. A Bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja had rejected the plea after the Delhi Police submitted that it was not maintainable as Bhardwaj had already been sent to judicial custody. The case had sparked controversy following a purported viral video in which Bhardwaj claimed that he had physically assaulted the father of the minor activist during the Jantar Mantar demonstration and allegedly said that he was let off because of his political connections. Bhardwaj later told the media that he had allegedly acted in self-defence. A separate FIR was also registered against Bhardwaj under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on the complaint of the minor activist, who alleged online rape threats and harassment.

'Playing With Vaibhav Takes Pressure Off You': Priyansh On Batting With Sooryavanshi
New Delhi: Delhi, India A and Punjab Kings batter Priyansh Arya reflected on his time batting with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma and Prabhsimran Singh as he continues his rise in Indian cricket. Priyansh has set the IPL on fire in the last two seasons and has also scored runs for India A, including a century against Australia A last year. Priyansh's strongest format is the T20Is, but with Abhishek, Sooryavanshi and Sanju Samson being India regulars now, even his PBKS partner Prabhsimran remains on the fringes and has not made his debut despite being in the squad for the recent Zimbabwe series. The Delhi batter's road to the senior Indian team remains a bit longer; however, he is putting in the hard yards for India A and will also be featuring in the one-day series against Australia A, which begins on Tuesday. However, Priyansh looks at this as a healthy competition and aims to learn from the openers. It's quite chill between all of us because we only focus on performance, Priyansh told the media in Delhi ahead of India A's opening one-dayer against Australia A on Tuesday. The better you perform, the higher you go in the pecking order. I've batted with Prabhsimran, Abhishek and Vaibhav, and have learnt something from each of them. I've played with all of them at one level or the other, and I always watch them while they're training. I try to incorporate some of their methods into my game so I can benefit from them. I like their batting style and intent. He added that he has enjoyed batting with Sooryavanshi. For instance, I enjoy playing with Vaibhav because he takes pressure off you by scoring big runs. When he bats, the opposition even starts bowling defensively. This makes batting easier for (his partners) as well. There's great joy in watching Vaibhav bat from the non-striker's end. I just tell him, 'If you're hitting well, just keep hitting.' He has batted with Sooryavanshi in the one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka, which also featured Afghanistan A. They played together twice, once against Afghanistan A, where they put up a 75-run stand, and then in the tri-series final against Sri Lanka A, where they made 132 and played a strong part in winning the final for the team. But Priyansh enjoys batting with Prabhsimran the most. I have the best bond with Prabh bhai. He has been playing in the IPL for the last seven or eight years, and is a lot more experienced than me. He has batted with Sooryavanshi in the one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka, which also featured Afghanistan A. They played together twice, once against Afghanistan A, where they put up a 75-run stand, and then in the tri-series final against Sri Lanka A, where they made 132 and played a strong part in winning the final for the team.

'Pressure Is Also Privilege': Priyansh Arya On His Time With India A
Indian Premier League: Rising opening batter Priyansh Arya reflected on his time with India A as he gears up for the one-dayers against Australia A from Tuesday onwards. he called playing for India 'A' fun, as it gives the pressure but also the privilege. He scored a 101 against Australia A last year in Kanpur and has five more fifties in List A cricket. It's a lot of fun playing for India A, and to wear the blue jersey is a proud feeling, Arya told the media in Delhi. I felt great to have scored a century for India A last year. There's a bit of pressure on you when you're playing for your country at any level. However, that pressure is also a privilege. I enjoy playing under that pressure and try to handle it well. The Delhi batter has been in the headlines in the past two Indian Premier League seasons too. He scored 475 runs in IPL 2025 at a strike rate of 179.24 and improved it in the 2026 season with 364 runs at 211.62. Arya claimed that his focus remains on capitalising the powerplay, rather than the strike rate. I don't focus as much on the strike rate, but I still try to capitalise on the powerplay as much as possible, Arya said. I put in a little more effort during this IPL than last year, and it paid off. If there's high risk (in my approach), then there's high reward as well. I just have self-belief, and there are no doubts in my mind when I hit the ball. Arya claimed that his focus remains on capitalising the powerplay, rather than the strike rate. I don't focus as much on the strike rate, but I still try to capitalise on the powerplay as much as possible, Arya said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Acting swiftly on the Collegium's recommendation, the Centre on Monday approved the elevation of Justices Agarwal, Upadhyaya and Singh to the Supreme Court. In a post on X, Union Minister for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal announced that the President, after consultation with CJI Surya Kant, had appointed the three Chief Justices as judges of the apex court. The Supreme Court Collegium in its meeting held on 28th September, 2026 has recommended elevation of the following Chief Justices of the High Courts as Judges in the Supreme Court, the Collegium had said in a statement uploaded on the apex court's official website.

India's services growth hits 3-month high at 55.2 in September
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) India's services sector expanded at its fastest pace in three months in September due to stronger domestic demand and sharp rise in new orders, according to HSBC India PMI data released on Tuesday. The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Services PMI Business Activity Index rose to 55.2 in September from 54.1 in August which signals the strongest expansion since June. Moreover, new business increased sharply in September and at the fastest pace in three months with firms reporting stronger demand for digital solutions, food, insurance, loans, software, transportation, tours and travel. Finance and insurance and consumer services recorded the strongest increases in activity and sales, HSBC India said. The PMI survey suggested that India's services sector continued to improve, supported by strengthening domestic demand, said Pranjul Bhandari, chief India economist at HSBC. At the same time, export business continued to expand, although the pace of growth slowed, she said, adding that easing input-cost pressures had reduced the need for service providers to raise selling prices. However, HSBC India Services PMI Business Activity averaged lower in the July-September quarter than in the previous quarter and recorded its weakest quarterly performance since the three months to March 2022, the data showed. In addition, international demand for Indian services also improved with firms reporting stronger business from Germany, the United Arab Emirates, the UK and the US. Growth in new export business slowed to a moderate pace. Improving order books and projects in the pipeline supported further hiring by services companies in September. Employment rose at a moderate pace, although the rate of job creation eased from August. Input cost pressures also eased with inflation in input prices falling to its weakest level since November 2025. Selling price inflation remained moderate and eased to its lowest level since June, reducing pressure on firms to raise charges. Additionally, business confidence strengthened to a three-month high with firms citing resilient demand and rising customer enquiries. Notably, HSBC India Composite PMI Output Index -- which covers both manufacturing and services -- rose to 55.9 in September from 54.3 in August, suggesting the fastest expansion in private-sector output since June, the data showed.

BJD to join INDIA bloc march over SIR issue, demands CEC Gyanesh Kumars resignation
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 6 (IANS) The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has announced that it will participate in the opposition parties protest march in New Delhi on Tuesday against the alleged arbitrary actions of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar in connection with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the deletion of the names of more than 13 crore voters across the country. As directed by BJD Supremo and Leader of Opposition(LoP), Naveen Patnaik, the partys Members of Parliament will participate in the protest march, informed the BJD Parliamentary Party Leader in the Rajya Sabha, Manas Mangaraj, on Tuesday. He further stated that the BJD Supremo had already demanded the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar over his controversial role in the SIR exercise. The senior BJD leader said that the alleged exclusion of more than 20 lakh voters in Odisha and over 13 crore voters across the country in the name of SIR has raised serious concerns. The incident in Dhamnagar has further strengthened these apprehensions. The deletion of 227 votes belonging to members of a minority community from a particular area, allegedly without the knowledge of the concerned BLOs, raises serious questions about the integrity of the SIR exercise, alleged Mangaraj. He added that thousands of voters have reportedly been excluded from the electoral rolls in the Dhamnagar Assembly constituency alone. At the same time, the voluntary retirement application submitted by the State Chief Electoral Officer has raised further questions and concerns. The Rajya Sabha member notes that the Supreme Courts observations regarding the modification of Form 6 have also raised serious questions about the Election Commissions earlier directions concerning the SIR exercise. The Court clarified that no such direction had been issued by it, contrary to what had earlier been indicated by the Election Commission. This, Mangaraj said, raises serious questions regarding the role of CEC Gyanesh Kumar in the alleged manipulation of electoral rolls. The BJD has maintained equal distance from both the INDIA bloc and the NDA.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) American tennis star Coco Gauff hit out at the social media backlash she faced in the aftermath of her win in the round of 32 at the China Open against Chinese Sun Xinran. Gauff defeated Sun 7-5, 6-1 to march into the round of 16, but a moment in the first set agitated the fans, following which she was subject to racist comments on social media, Gauff revealed. The American was serving at 4-5 and at 15-15, she lost one point but raised an issue with the chair umpire over the flickering of the LED advertising boards. The point was replayed, and Gauff went on to win the game and the set 7-5. However, the incident did not go down well with a section of fans. The American took to social media to reveal the abuse she has been receiving. Hey everyone, you can dislike me or disagree about what happened without being racist. The amount of racist comments/dms Ive received in the last few hours is insane. Lastly, I'm not a cheater or a thief, Gauff wrote in reply to a user on X. She then detailed the incident, highlighting that the players are allowed to challenge for a point and that she didn't have the decision in her hands. I saw it flicker in the beginning of the point but was not sure if that is what I actually saw, Gauff explained. We are told before the matches we are allowed to continue to finish play, so keep it in mind. Anything can be challenged after the point is over. If I would've lost the point, my opponent is also free to do the same thing and ask for a replay, and she would've been completely in her right to do so, Gauff said. The 22-year-old highlighted that she raised her hands when she saw the board flicker again. When it flickered again, I raised my hands before she hit her shot because this is when I was sure I saw the light flicker, and it wasn't my mind doing tricks lol. It was an unfortunate situation, but it is out of my control, she said. The think pieces and calling me unfair is ridiculous when those are the rules. I did not make them. Meanwhile, this wasn't the only incident of advertising board flickering. In the quarterfinal between Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic, the former asked for a point to be replayed after getting distracted by the flickering in the LED panels during the game.

India, Switzerland deepen economic ties, focus on trade and investment: Commerce Secretary
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) India and Switzerland are strengthening their economic partnership with a focus on expanding market access, facilitating investment and deepening cooperation in infrastructure, technology, innovation and supply chains, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agarwal said on Tuesday. In a post on X, Agarwal said India and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries had implemented the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) last year, describing it as India's first free trade agreement with a European economic bloc. The agreement provides a framework for investment, innovation, jobs and shared prosperity, Agarwal said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasised the importance of translating the growing India-Switzerland partnership into concrete outcomes in trade and investment, Agarwal said. Earlier this week, PM Modi said two sides shared a commitment to democratic values, the rule of law, dialogue and diplomacy and would continue to work together for global peace and stability. Addressing a joint press conference with Swiss President Guy Parmelin after their talks in New Delhi on Monday, PM Modi said the two countries agreed that reforms in global institutions were essential to address growing global challenges. India and Switzerland both believe in democratic values, rule of law, dialogue and diplomacy, PM Modi said and added that India had consistently supported meaningful efforts towards peace in Ukraine and West Asia. We have taken several important decisions to enhance market access for India's exports in Switzerland and to further facilitate investment between the two countries. This will increase the export of India's agriculture, pharma, textile, and engineering goods to Switzerland. At the same time, we will attract new Swiss investment in India's important sectors such as biotech, life Sciences, banking, insurance, food processing, and Sustainability, he said. Apart from that, PM Modi and Swiss President Parmelin reviewed the entire spectrum of bilateral ties and discussed ways to further deepen cooperation in trade, investment, innovation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), military matters, defence production, nuclear energy, science and technology, and people-to-people ties. Moreover, India and the four EFTA members -- Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein -- implemented TEPA in October 2025.

ECI not working under Constitution, says Akhilesh Yadav on INDIA bloc protest
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) was not functioning impartially and was not working in accordance with the Constitution. Speaking to reporters ahead of the INDIA blocs protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Yadav said that complaints and objections regarding the Election Commission and its functioning were not new. This is not a new issue when it comes to the Election Commission. Complaints and objections regarding the Election Commission and the way it is functioning are not being raised for the first time. The Election Commission wants to believe that only those who are members of the Bharatiya Janata Party are Indian citizens. The Election Commission also seems to believe, as has been seen several times, that only those who are BJP members can vote, he said. Yadav alleged that the BJP had benefited from money and the misuse of forces during elections, while also accusing the poll body of failing to remain neutral. People used to say about the BJP that it works like an election machine. They did not win with the help of the ECI alone; they have a lot of money. You have seen how, with the help of forces, they looted booths in West Bengal. Not just Bengal, they looted booths in Uttar Pradesh. They looted the polls in Kundarki, Ambedkar Nagar and Ayodhya. So, the ECI is not unbiased. The ECI is not working under the Constitution, he said. He further questioned the alleged proximity between the BJP and the Election Commission and raised questions over the BJPs office in the national capital. Sometimes, I hear that in Delhi, the BJP has made a big office in the national capital. What was the need for that? They could have taken a floor in the ECI building and worked from there. What was the need for that? Tell us whether the ECI has worked on these problems or taken any action, Yadav said. On the proposal for One Nation, One Election, Yadav alleged that the BJP wanted to consolidate all electoral processes at one time to avoid scrutiny. Not One Nation, One Election; they want to do all the malfunctioning at one time so that they can rule for five years, and there is no need for any probe. That is why they are working on the theory of One Nation, One Election, he added. Meanwhile, Opposition INDIA bloc MPs on Tuesday will stage a protest march from Parliament to the ECI headquarters in New Delhi over allegations of vote theft linked to the SIR of electoral rolls. The protest comes amid a series of nationwide campaigns targeting CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The call for the protest was issued following a meeting of 19 Opposition parties on September 30.

The Day Imran Khan Played Cricket in Allahabad: A Forgotten 1984 Classic
There are cricket grounds that became famous because of Test matches, international tournaments or great performances. And then there are grounds whose place in cricket history is secured by a single extraordinary afternoon. For Allahabad, now Prayagraj, that afternoon came on 26 February 1984, when Pakistan captain Imran Khan walked into the Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium to play a benefit match for an Indian cricketer. It was not an India-Pakistan international. There were no championship points at stake and no official record to be created. Yet, for Allahabad's cricket lovers, it became one of the most memorable sporting occasions the city had witnessed. The match was organised as a benefit for William Ghosh, a veteran Indian Railways cricketer facing financial and health difficulties. Ghosh had played 71 first-class matches, taking 239 wickets. Imran's presence transformed what might otherwise have been a local fundraising game into an extraordinary meeting of domestic cricket and international stardom. But what brought one of the world's biggest cricket stars from Pakistan to Allahabad for just a few hours? The answer lay in an old family friendship. Ghosh was a close friend of Imran's father, Ikramullah Khan Niazi, dating back to the pre-Partition period. When Ghosh fell on difficult times, that friendship became the bridge that brought Imran to Allahabad. Imran was then at the height of his cricketing fame. Yet he agreed to make the journey for a benefit match in Allahabad. He flew from Pakistan to New Delhi and then travelled to Allahabad by train. According to local recollections, he maintained his strict fitness regime during the journey, eating nothing but oranges. Imran captained the Geep XI, walking out before a huge crowd at the Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium. The ground was packed to capacity, while people also gathered outside simply to be part of the occasion. For a city accustomed to watching its own Ranji heroes, this was a rare opportunity to see a Pakistani superstar at close quarters. Imran did not disappoint. He played an aggressive innings that became the enduring cricketing memory of the day. Syed Hyder Ali, one of the leading local players in the Geep XI, recalled years later that Imran's sixes seemed to dwarf the dimensions of the stadium, with the ball sailing beyond the ground. The precise score of the exhibition innings mattered less than the memory it created. For those watching in Allahabad that afternoon, Imran was not merely a visiting Pakistani cricketer; he was a world-class sportsman suddenly playing on their own ground. The match had another remarkable feature. Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi , India's former captain and the Nawab of Pataudi, was among the umpires, alongside Swarup Kishan. Pataudi reportedly officiated for the first hour before being replaced by TD Mukherji. What did it mean to Allahabad? This is where the story goes beyond Imran Khan. Local players did not merely watch Imran from the stands; they shared the dressing room and field with him. Hyder Ali, who played first-class cricket for 25 years and represented Uttar Pradesh, Railways and Bengal, regarded the 1984 match as one of the memorable moments of his career. The benefit match helped raise money for a respected cricketer at a difficult stage of his life. At the same time, it gave thousands of ordinary cricket followers an experience normally associated with international stadiumswatching one of the world's most famous cricketers in their own city. It also created a powerful image of cricket cutting across the India-Pakistan divide. The match did not become part of the history of the India-Pakistan series. But it became part of Allahabad's cricket memory. A city better known for its literary, cultural and political heritage also had its cricketing moments. Few can match the afternoon when Imran Khan arrived, captained Geep XI, shared the ground with India's cricketing royalty and sent the ball soaring into the Allahabad sky. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories For Allahabad's cricket lovers, Imran Khan's visit lasted much longer than those few hours.
