India acts as world's economic buffer and growth engine: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) Against a backdrop of the global economy leaning on a few nations to drive output, India has emerged as a major contributor to global growth and is expected to remain the world's fastest-growing major economy through 2027, a new report has said, highlighting the 2026 World Economic Outlook, unveiled at the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings that concluded recently. India is currently the worlds economic buffer and remains the engine that keeps global machinery moving, masking the fact that the traditional powerhouse economies in the West are currently slowing down and getting weaker, the report from South Africa-based IOL said. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected 7 per cent growth for India in both 2026 and 2027, while global growth was forecast at 3.1 per cent in 2026 and 3.4 per cent in 2027, with a relatively small group of economies accounting for the majority of global expansion. India's growth is supported by strong domestic demand, a large consumer market, a robust services sector and favourable demographics, it said. If Indias economy were to suddenly cool down or flatline, the global economy would face severe consequences as India accounts for roughly 15 per cent to 17 per cent of total global growth, the report said. Without India, the projected global growth of 3.1 per cent would likely plummet toward 2.5 per cent, a threshold the IMF historically considers a global recession, it added. Further, with the US coasting at a modest 2.3 per cent growth and Europes growth nearly flat at 1.1 per cent, Western engines cannot pick up the global economy and the world would slip into an era of structural low growth. The IMF also identified India as an exception among major economies in that it does not require fiscal consolidation beyond current plans to stabilise its debt ratio, despite elevated energy prices that continue to weigh on many importing nations. The report also highlighted India's economic resilience relative to China, whose growth forecast has been lowered to 4.5 per cent for 2026 amid structural economic transitions and a shrinking export footprint.
SC calls for action against unauthorised use and commercial exploitation of court proceedings
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Centre to incorporate measures for taking action against those violating its interim restrictions on the unauthorised use and commercial exploitation of audio-video recordings of judicial proceedings into the proposed policy framework. A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana directed the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to ensure compliance with the interim directions issued by the apex court in July this year. The MeitY is directed to ensure the compliance of interim directions... Necessary measures for taking action against those who fail to comply with the directions will also be incorporated in the policy regime, the CJI Kant-led Bench ordered. The directions came after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the top court that the Centre was considering suggestions received from various High Courts and members of the legal fraternity for formulating a policy to regulate the use of recordings of judicial proceedings. The Centre's second highest law officer told the CJI Kant-led Bench that the suggestions had been forwarded to the apex court registry and that a framework incorporating the inputs would be prepared and placed before the Supreme Court for consideration. He also apprised the top court of instances of violations of its earlier directions and suggested that material uploaded in breach of the interim restrictions should be taken down. The CJI Kant-led Bench agreed that the directions needed to be effectively implemented and said the proposed policy framework should provide for appropriate action against those failing to comply with them. During the proceedings, the Supreme Court also heard submissions on measures such as digital watermarking, authenticated recordings and the permissible use of live-streamed judicial proceedings. The latest directions come amid concerns over the unauthorised extraction, manipulation, circulation and commercial exploitation of audio-video recordings of court proceedings, particularly through social media and other digital platforms. Earlier, the Supreme Court had imposed interim restrictions on the extraction, dissemination, monetisation, posting, re-posting, uploading, transmission, modification, storage or hosting of audio-video recordings of judicial proceedings on social media or any other digital platform without prior permission of the Secretary General of the Supreme Court or the Registrar Generals of the jurisdictional High Courts. The apex court had clarified that its restrictions would not affect reportage of court proceedings by recognised news outlets, while subsequently making it clear that such organisations could continue reporting judicial developments but could not use audio or video clips of court proceedings in their coverage. The Supreme Court had impleaded all High Courts and major social media intermediaries and technology platforms in the matter, while seeking their inputs on the adoption of the Model Rules for live streaming and recording of court proceedings. The Union government was also directed to identify the nodal Ministries responsible for implementing the reliefs sought in the petition.
Bengaluru leads India's office rental growth at 11.5 pc in Q3, equal to Tokyo: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) India's commercial real estate growth remains intact with Bengaluru recording 11.5 per cent year-on-year growth in prime office rents in Q3 2026, matching Tokyo among the region's strongest-performing markets, according to a report released on Friday. As per the analysis of Knight Frank, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR recorded year-on-year (YoY) rental growth of 4 per cent and 5.4 per cent, respectively. Across Asia-Pacific, prime office rents increased 1 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), it said. Of the 24 markets tracked, 16 recorded stable or rising rents. However, Hong Kong SAR posted the strongest year-on-year growth at 17.1 per cent, while Bengaluru recorded a 2.8 per cent QoQ increase. Meanwhile, among Indian cities, Delhi-NCR ranked seventh overall at $73.11 per sq ft per annum, followed by Mumbai at $68.39 and Bengaluru at $37.16. Office leasing across Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR totalled 7.6 million sq ft in Q3 2026, down 13.6 per cent YoY. However, prime rents remained resilient and rose by an average of 7.5 per cent annually. According to the report, demand was primarily driven by global capability centres (GCCs), flexible workspace operators and domestic occupiers which helped offset weaker activity from third-party IT services firms. In terms of leasing transactions, Mumbai recorded a 33 per cent YoY increase with year-to-date volumes already surpassing the city's full-year 2025 total. India-focused occupiers contributed more than half of the quarterly leasing activity. Meanwhile, Bengaluru experienced a moderation following a strong first half of 2026, while GCCs continued to account for nearly 50 per cent of its leasing demand. Despite a significant rise in new office completions, vacancy levels remained largely stable, the report said. Bengaluru led rental growth among India's major office markets with prime rents rising 11.5 per cent YoY and 2.8 per cent QoQ to Rs 2,015 per sq ft per annum. Vacancy stood at 13.4 per cent. In Mumbai, prime rents increased by 4 per cent YoY and 2.0 per cent QoQ to Rs 4,111 per sq ft per annum, while vacancy reached 15.2 per cent. Delhi-NCR recorded annual rental growth of 5.4 per cent with rents remaining stable compared with the previous quarter.

Telangana CM accuses KCR of attempting to grab Rs 50,000 crore land
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 30 (IANS) Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Friday alleged that former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao tried to encroach on prime land valued at Rs 50,000 crore in Miyapur, Hyderabad. A day after the Supreme Court upheld Telangana governments claim over 550-acre land in Miyapur, the Chief Minister directed officials to take over the land and fence it. At a press conference in Delhi, the Chief Minister termed the Supreme Court verdict in the 23-year-old case as historic', and thanked the apex court for upholding the state governments claim to the land. He alleged that former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), his close associate and Rajya Sabha MP Damodar Rao, and the CMD of Namasthe Telangana attempted to grab the land using businessman Goldstone Prasad as a front. By protecting this land, the Supreme Court has ensured that these valuable public assets remain with the people of Telangana. This is a monumental judgment in the interest of the state and its people, said CM Revanth Reddy. He said that the Congress party, which was in opposition during the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) regime, fought against the then State government to protect the land. After the Congress came to power, the State government argued the case and secured a favourable decision. He claimed that his government has so far protected Rs 1.50 lakh crore worth of government lands. He listed a series of cases of alleged land-grabbing by KCR and his family members. He claimed that they tried to tamper with the revenue records to encroach on lands. He also accused them of exchanging luxury cars and cash as bribes. The Chief Minister alleged that K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) attempted to grab IMG lands in collusion with the Bhalerao family. He said BRS leaders also attempted to take over valuable government lands at Kancha Gachibowli and Mamidipally, but the Congress government protected them through legal battles. Revanth Reddy said KTRs associates attempted to encroach upon forest land at Gurramguda. The Supreme Court upheld the lands forest status. He alleged that KTR and Rayalaseema Builders attempted to grab 143 acres at Manchirevula. The government protected the land and established a school for police personnels children. He claimed that 400 acres of forest land in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district were handed over to an MLA who defected to BRS. The government fought the case in the Supreme Court. Revanth Reddy dared KCR and KTR to debate in the Assembly on their alleged land encroachment and illegal deals The Chief Minister said the government lands in Miyapur land protected through legal battles by the government will be utilised to generate resources for irrigation, education, healthcare and other development projects. He said after a decision by the Cabinet, the proceeds from Miyapur land will be used for education. A Cabinet subcommittee on resource mobilisation will study the proposals and decide how the funds should be utilised for public development.
PM-KISAN direct payments to farmers cross Rs 4.64 lakh crore mark
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) More than Rs 4.64 lakh crore has now been disbursed to farmers across the country through 24 instalments of the PM-KISAN scheme, which provides eligible farmer families Rs 6,000 annually in three equal instalments, according to a government factsheet issued on Friday. The amount is transferred directly into the bank accounts of farmers after their land records are seeded on the PM-KISAN portal. They also have to link their bank accounts to Aadhaar and complete e-KYC verification. Reflecting the governments continued commitment to strengthening farmers income security, the Union Budget 2026-27 has allocated Rs 60,000 crore for the PM-KISAN scheme. Recently, in July 2026, the Union Cabinet approved continuation of the PM-KISAN Scheme from 2026-27 to 2030-31. A total financial outlay of Rs 3.15 lakh crore has been approved for the scheme during this period. The approval reiterates the governments commitment that the prosperity of farmers forms the foundation of the nations prosperity, the factsheet states. PM-KISAN is a centrally sponsored scheme launched on February 24, 2019. The scheme seeks to provide assured income support to landholding farmer families nationwide with cultivable land. The assistance provided under PM-KISAN has enabled farmers to make timely investments in seeds, fertilisers, irrigation, agricultural machinery, and other agricultural requirements. This has enhanced farmers productive capacity, reduced their dependence on informal credit, and strengthened the financial stability of rural households, the factsheet states. PM-KISAN stands out as one of the largest Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) initiatives globally. This underscores its significant institutional mechanism for delivering financial support directly to farmers. The process begins with farmer registration through the PM-KISAN portal, mobile app, or Common Service Centres (CSCs). State governments verify eligibility and upload beneficiary details to the portal. The system then validates Aadhaar and bank account details and screens out ineligible applicants. After final state approval, the data is sent to the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) for account verification. Eligible records are used to generate fund transfer requests and payment orders. The Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare issues sanction orders. Payments are then processed through sponsor banks and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Finally, funds are credited directly to farmers bank accounts, ensuring fast, transparent, and efficient delivery of benefits.

Delhi Drug Traders' Association urges LoP Gandhi to postpone November 1 rally
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) The Delhi Drug Traders' Association (DDTA) on Friday appealed to Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, to postpone the Congress' rally scheduled for November 1 at Ramlila Maidan, following the postponement of the mock Parliament programme planned. In a letter to LoP Rahul Gandhi, DDTA Secretary Ashish Grover urged the Congress leader to reconsider the rally in view of the prevailing circumstances and concerns raised by Delhi's trading community. Just as the Mock Parliament scheduled to be held today has been postponed in view of certain unavoidable circumstances, I urge you to take a similar decision and postpone your proposed rally in Delhi on November 1, Grover wrote. The association emphasised the importance of respecting constitutional institutions, stating that Parliament, the judiciary and other institutions hold significant positions in a democracy. In a democracy, Parliament, the Judiciary and other constitutional institutions have their own dignity and significance. When a matter is already under judicial consideration and the concerned parties have submitted their responses and affidavits before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, it would be more appropriate and responsible to repose faith in the judicial process rather than resort to political confrontation and public demonstrations of strength, the letter stated. The DDTA also highlighted concerns over the economic impact of repeated protests, demonstrations and rallies on commercial activities, traffic movement and public convenience in the national Capital. The trading community of Delhi has expressed serious concern over the adverse impact of continuous protests, demonstrations and rallies on commercial activities, traffic movement, public convenience, and the livelihoods of millions of people, it said. The association noted that traders, shopkeepers, street vendors, small business owners and daily wage earners had already suffered considerable economic losses. It further warned that disruptions to commercial activities during the crucial festive and wedding season could worsen the situation. The DDTA acknowledged the democratic right to peaceful protest and freedom of expression but stressed that political programmes should not cause unnecessary hardship to the public or adversely affect the city's economy. Drawing a parallel with the postponement of the mock Parliament programme, Grover appealed to LoP Gandhi to demonstrate similar responsibility by deferring the November 1 rally. This is not the time for political demonstrations of strength, but an occasion to uphold democratic values, respect constitutional institutions and place the interests of millions of citizens and traders of Delhi above political considerations. I sincerely hope that you will give this appeal your positive consideration and announce the postponement of the rally in the larger interest of Delhi's trade, employment and public life, it added.

Star Cast: Ansh Duggal, Pragati Srivastava Director: Rahul Shanklya Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Synopsis: NAKHREWAALII is the story of a man who finds himself in a unique situation. Sumit Mishra (Ansh Duggal) lives in Hardoi and is heartbroken after his girlfriend, Sweety, dumps him and marries an engineer. Sumit shifts to Delhi for higher studies and also with the intention of becoming a playboy. He rents a room in the house of Batuk (Gopal Datt), who lives with his wife Rekha (Kanupriya Shankar Pandit) and their 22-year-old daughter Paridhi (Pragati Srivastava). Sumit and Paridhi hit it off quite well and soon fall in love. Sumit confesses to Batuk and Rekha that he wishes to marry Paridhi. Batuk makes it clear that he'll agree to the union only if Sumit manages to land a government job within a month. Otherwise, he'll get Paridhi married to someone else. Sumit tries his best but fails to find a job. Left with no other option, he decides to disguise himself as a woman and assumes the identity of Sumita. This helps him land the job of a junior public relations officer in the Department of Postal Services. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Nakhrewaalii Movie Story Review: NAKHREWAALII is adapted from Satya Vyas' book 'Dilli Darbar'. The story certainly has potential. However, Divy Nidhi Sharma's screenplay is weak. Several romantic and emotional sequences fail to strike a chord. Divy Nidhi Sharma's dialogues try their best to contribute to the humour and succeed, albeit only partly. Rahul Shanklya's direction is decent. To give credit where it's due, he keeps the duration in check (129 minutes) and ensures that the narrative moves at a steady pace. The humour also improves in the second half, resulting in a few genuinely funny moments. Some scenes that stand out are Sumit getting NSD actors to his office, Mihika (Aayushi Verma) being consoled by Paridhi in Sumit's room, etc. The scene where Paridhi and Sumita bond during the wedding trial is sweet. In the second half, interesting parallels are drawn between Sumit's equation with Mihika at the latter's house and his interactions with her father, Rai Jaichand (Kumud Mishra), in the same place. On the flipside, Sumit's character is written in such a manner that it's difficult to root for him. Even when he has a change of heart and goes to great lengths to marry Paridhi, one never gets the feeling that he has genuinely transformed. As a result, his emotional journey fails to make the desired impact. Moreover, the humour falls flat in most scenes in the first half. It finally begins to work post-interval, but by then, the film starts bearing an uncanny resemblance to DREAM GIRL [2019]. This also robs NAKHREWAALII of its novelty. The finale, meanwhile, is far too convenient and fails to deliver the intended emotional payoff. Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Performances: Ansh Duggal tries his best to deliver an authentic performance, both as Sumit and Sumita. However, the writing lets him down, and his character fails to leave a lasting impression. Pragati Srivastava makes a confident debut and gets her act right. The same applies to Aayushi Verma, who makes her presence felt in a supporting role. Gopal Datt is dependable as always, while Kumud Mishra lends able support. Akash Makhija (Jagat Singh aka Jhaadi) is fine as Sumit's sidekick. Kanupriya Shankar Pandit is decent, while Brijendra Kala (Invigilator) is fair in a cameo. Rana Pratap Singh (Sushil Tiwari) is aptly cast. Kajal Bhadana (Seema) and Devika Singh (Sudha), however, ham a lot. Nakhrewaalii movie music and other technical aspects: The songs are forgettable, but all the tracks the title track, 'Kona', 'Betuka' and 'Yeh Bawla Hai' are well woven into the narrative. Aman Pant's background score is quirky and complements the film's theme. Chirantan Das' cinematography is satisfactory, while Nikhil Kovale and Apurva Bhagat's production design is realistic. Ankita Jha's costumes are fine, although the outfits worn by Ansh Duggal as Sumit bear a striking resemblance to Ranveer Singh's wardrobe in BAND BAAJA BAARAAT [2010], especially in the scenes set at his home. Abhishek Anand's editing is functional. Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, NAKHREWAALII is let down by weak writing, unconvincing character development, humour that works only intermittently and a second half that bears an uncanny resemblance to DREAM GIRL. At the box office, the film stands virtually no chance of making a mark due to negligible awareness and its release during the dull pre-Diwali period.
Bangladesh lifts hilsa fishing ban, but declining catches cloud supply hopes
Digital Desk | New Delhi/Dhaka, Oct 30 (IANS) Fishermen in Bangladesh resumed their efforts early Friday at landing what is largely the Bengalis most treasured fish after a 22-day ban imposed by the government to protect spawning hilsa during the breeding season that ended a minute before midnight, according to reports. Around 42,000 fishermen in Chandpur resumed fishing in the Meghna and Padma rivers as the ban on catching, selling, and transporting hilsa officially ended at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, reported Bangladeshs The Business Standard on Friday, adding their return was after weeks of hardship. Now the question is whether supply will be sufficient to satisfy the enormous Bengali appetite for hilsa. Hilsa migrates from the sea to freshwater rivers for spawning, and breeds mainly during the monsoon and winter seasons, thus limiting availability. Bangladesh ranks first in the world in hilsa production, being third in inland open-water capture fisheries, fourth in tilapia production and fifth in aquaculture overall, the report said further. Overall, Bangladesh is among the worlds top fish producers, where in 2023-24, it produced 5.02 million metric tonnes of fish, worth about $20.44 billion, according to a separate report. The fisheries sector accounts for 2.43-2.53 per cent of GDP and over 22 per cent of agricultural GDP, it said, adding that it provides nearly 60 per cent of the animal protein Bangladeshis consume each day and supports the livelihoods of 19 to 20 million people, directly and indirectly. Around mid-September this year, Bangladeshs Prothom Alo probed the reasons behind the high price of hilsa and found that its production, or catch, has declined for the past two years. The situation has raised concerns among researchers, the report stated. Hilsa researcher Md Anisur Rahman sought an investigation into the reasons behind the decline, sharing that what he has been witnessing for the past two years is alarming, blaming Both people and nature for being responsible. Researchers currently believe that the spread of nets with extremely fine mesh in the sea, excessive fishing, pollution and underwater shoals are contributing to the decline in hilsa production, concluded the report. Few fish command the cultural devotion hilsa enjoys among Bengalis on either side of the Ganga-Padma, especially the fish from Bangladesh. It is deeply intertwined with festivals, family gatherings, weddings and seasonal rituals. For many households, a meal featuring fresh hilsa is not simply food but an expression of identity and nostalgia. Bengalis continue to prize it despite its notoriously complex bone structure, to savour its flavour. Hilsa is said to possess a rich oil content that produces a distinctive aroma and buttery texture unlike most freshwater or marine fish. When steamed with mustard, cooked in a light broth or simply fried, the fish releases oils that create a layered taste combining sweetness, salinity and umami. Thus, the conservation measure has been based on the fact that hilsa needs a protected breeding window to reproduce successfully. Administrations in hilsa-producing regions have been imposing seasonal bans, sanctuary protection, and enforcement drives to ensure mature fish can spawn before being harvested. During this year's prohibition, authorities conducted extensive enforcement operations and seized large quantities of illegally caught hilsa and fishing nets, underscoring the scale of the challenge. Such measures reportedly affected the livelihoods of many fishermen who were already complaining that hilsa availability had been below expectations and that earnings were insufficient to sustain themselves and repay debts. The governments attempt to ease the burden through food-assistance programmes -- like hundreds of thousands of fishing families reportedly having received rice allocations this year during the closure period has been met with arguments that the support was insufficient. As in many spheres, the conflict between ecology and livelihood sits at the heart of the hilsa debate.

Tesla rolls out Halloween Mode for 'Model Y' in India
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) Tesla India on Friday said it launched a new software update for Model Y and Model Y L vehicles that adds a range of Halloween-themed features, highlighting the company's over-the-air (OTA) software update capabilities. According to the Elon Musk-backed firm, the update allows Tesla vehicles to receive new features and improvements remotely without requiring a visit to a service centre. Halloween Mode includes a ghost-themed vehicle avatar, Halloween sound effects, special lighting sequences, seasonal vehicle wraps and a themed lock sound, it said. The update also introduces a 'Trick or Treat Mode' which activates sound and lighting effects when visitors approach the vehicle. Other features include a photobooth function and a voice messaging feature that allows users to speak through the Tesla app and have the vehicle relay messages, the company said. Tesla said customers can experience the new features at its Experience Centres across India. The company currently operates those centres in Noida, Delhi, Gurugram, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Mumbai and has approved collision centres in Pune and Ahmedabad. Earlier in October, Tesla CEO Elon Musk showcased a new version of the Roadster sports car with a prototype briefly lifting off the ground during a demonstration at a SpaceX facility in Texas. A post on X shared by Musk showed the vehicle navigating an elevated curved track before becoming airborne for a short distance and landing safely, drawing comparisons to a flying car. The showcase highlighted a specialised propulsion system that combines the electric vehicle platform with high-pressure air tanks and thruster technology. According to Tesla, the system can generate lift and improve vehicle dynamics through strategically placed thrusters that help control movement while off the ground. The test prompted enthusiastic reactions from company executives, who described it as evidence that flying-car technology is moving closer to reality. Tesla, however, did not provide a timeline for commercial deployment. Musk said the vehicle would remain practical for everyday use, although he acknowledged that road legality could depend on local regulations.

Form matters the most: Nayar cautions UP Warriorz against judging WPL squad on paper
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) UP Warriorz head coach Abhishek Nayar has tempered expectations surrounding the franchises revamped squad for the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2027 season, stressing that performances on the field, rather than big names on paper, will determine the success of their recruitment following an eventful auction. Armed with the biggest purse heading into the auction, UP Warriorz emerged as the busiest franchise, securing several high-profile players, including Australias Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris, Indias Sneh Rana and wicketkeeper-batter Sushma Verma. The franchise has also strengthened its backroom setup with the addition of former India chief selector Neetu David as Head of Scouting. Despite the impressive list of acquisitions, Nayar believes the real challenge will begin once the players come together, particularly given the limited preparation time available before the tournament. Drawing an analogy between assembling a cricket squad and shopping, the UP Warriorz coach emphasised that a promising-looking team sheet does not necessarily guarantee results once the competition begins. I always think its like going shopping. On the mannequin, the clothes look very good, but when you buy and wear them yourself, they look very different. So, at the moment, the squad on paper, seeing the names on the board, looks very good, but it will depend a lot on what happens on the field. My challenge with womens cricket last year, which I felt, was that you get very little time with the players before the season because the domestic season is going on, and those players, and even the internationals, come just a few days before the start. So, you get roughly one week with them. So, we are hoping that the experienced players will take up the mantle. As much as the selection headache will be there, in the T20 format, form matters the most, Nayar told JioStar. The franchises recruitment of Sushma Verma was another move driven by the desire to bring greater experience into the playing group. After experimenting with younger wicketkeeping options in the previous edition, UP Warriorz opted for a more established name to strengthen the department. Vermas performances in the Womens Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) for Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR), along with her showing during the Warriorz trials, convinced the management to pursue her services at the auction. Nayar believes her experience as a wicketkeeper-batter will provide the team with greater stability, with captain Meg Lanning expected to play a key role in utilising the resources available. We were looking for experience. Last season, we experimented with Shweta and, to a large extent, it didnt work out. So, this time around, we thought that wed try and get someone experienced. We were looking at Sushma. She did well for TKR, playing in the Womens CPL. So, we were tracking her. She had batted well in our trials as well. So, the thought process for this season was to get more experienced hands in the team and then leave it to Meg Lanning to take care of the rest. I have felt that experience counts a lot in the WPL. In womens cricket, for me, going towards experience and having someone like Sushma as that experienced keeper-batter adds a lot to our team in a lot of ways, and we are extremely happy to have her, he added.
Delhi Minister Sood orders magisterial probe into fatal building collapse in New Seemapuri
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) Delhi Home and Urban Development Minister, Ashish Sood, has ordered a magisterial enquiry into a building collapse in New Seemapuri that claimed four lives earlier this month, an official said on Friday. The enquiry will be led by the District Magistrate (North-East), said the official in a statement, adding that it will also check for lapses on the part of government agencies and officials and fix responsibility. Sood said, This is a deeply tragic incident that has cost precious lives. We have ordered a magisterial enquiry to investigate every single aspect of this collapse. No guilty person or lax official will be spared. Our immediate priority is to support the affected families, and our long-term goal is to enforce strict structural safety rules so that such an accident never happens again in Delhi, he said. A five-storey residential building (House No. E-402, built on a small plot of 20-25 square yards) collapsed on October 7 around 3 p.m. in New Seemapuri, Delhi. Three adjacent structures suffered major damage, were declared unsafe by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), and were evacuated. Initial local enquiries indicate that demolition work using heavy, vibration-causing machinery on an adjacent unauthorised construction site triggered the collapse. Nearby residential structures in the area have also been found to be weak buildings constructed on tiny plots without proper structural columns or beams. Sood said the magisterial enquiry into the collapse has the mandate to ascertain the exact facts, circumstances, and root causes of the building collapse. It will also identify violations of laws, building rules, and safety stipulations by owners, tenants, or private individuals and also check for lapses or omissions on the part of government departments, civic agencies, and their officers to fix accountability. Sood said the enquiry will also recommend strict legal action against all erring individuals, agencies, or officials and examine the implementation of the National Disaster Management Act, 2005, and suggest permanent preventive measures to avoid such tragedies in the future.
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) CPI-M leader Hannan Mollah on Friday accused the BJP of double standards over concerns about business disruptions due to the Congress rally scheduled for November 1 at Ramlila Maidan here. His remarks came after the Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) on Friday urged Congress leader Sonia Gandhi to postpone the proposed rally until after Diwali, citing potential business losses in major markets across Delhi. Speaking to IANS, Mollah pointed out that a BJP rally scheduled for Saturday would also affect commercial activities but would not attract similar criticism. Tomorrow, the BJP President is holding a rally, which will cause thousands of shops to close. But there won't be any loss cited for that! When the BJP does it, there's no loss, but when the opposition does it, there is a loss, he said. The CTI has expressed concerns that the Congress rally could disrupt business activities in 30 major markets across Delhi, potentially affecting trade worth Rs 10,000-12,000 crore. Mollah dismissed the concerns, alleging that they were being raised to undermine the opposition's programme. These are all excuses because the government is nervous. First, they gave permission; now they can't stop it, so they are using thousands of excuses to try and block it. But all of this is false and misleading. Markets don't shut down and stop functioning over a one-day rally; markets keep running. These are just excuses to defame the opposition's rally, he said. On the INDIA bloc's proposed 'People's Impeachment' programme against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, Mollah said the initiative was intended to highlight the allegations against the CEC and generate public awareness, clarifying that it would be a mock parliamentary session rather than a formal impeachment proceeding. This decision was made in the INDIA bloc that he will be impeached. Officially, impeachment happens in Parliament, but this will be a mock session. That means it carries propaganda and awareness value, he said. He added that the programme would involve presenting allegations against the CEC, followed by a discussion and the passage of a mock impeachment motion. It has campaign value to highlight the issues, his offences, and show that Members of Parliament have given their opinion to impeach him, Mollah said. Meanwhile, the opposition bloc was forced to postpone the mock impeachment programme, originally scheduled for Friday afternoon, until Saturday due to rain in the national capital.

India's PE and VC investments surge 46 pc to $17.1 billion in Q3: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) Private equity and venture capital (PE/VC) investments in India rose 46 per cent year-on-year to $17.1 billion across 348 deals in Q3 2026, driven by a surge in infrastructure and health care transactions, a report said on Friday. The report from EY-IVCA said investment value rose 124 per cent from the previous quarter's $7.6 billion, although deal volume was 9 per cent lower than the 384 deals recorded a year earlier. However, the deal volume was 44 per cent higher quarter-on-quarter, it added. Meanwhile, September emerged as the strongest month of 2026 so far, attracting $7 billion of investments and marking the highest monthly investment value since May 2024. While the Indian capital markets have largely consolidated over the past few weeks, the upcoming quarterly earnings season is being closely watched given prevailing inflationary pressures. The recent repo rate hike by the Reserve Bank of India reflects a proactive approach as high crude oil prices persist, the report said. It forecasted PE/VC investors to remain cautious and selective and prioritise resilience of future profitability and return on capital. Infrastructure emerged as the top sector, attracting $7.2 billion, followed by healthcare at $3.1 billion and real estate at $1.4 billion. Together, the three sectors accounted for 69 per cent of overall PE/VC investments during the quarter. Buyout investments accounted for the largest share of PE/VC activity in the quarter by deal type, with $5.1 billion deployed, a 419 per cent increase in value compared to Q3 2025. In addition, start-up investments ranked second with an investment of $4.8 billion, an increase of 55 per cent from $3.1 billion in Q3 2025. The Indian PE/VC-backed IPO market has undergone significant evolution over the past decade. A total of 290 PE/VC-backed IPOs have been recorded since 2016, with nearly 75 per cent of these listings (217 IPOs) occurring in the last five years alone

Before departing Colombo, the ships of 1TS undertook a Passage Exercise (PASSEX) with Sri Lankan Navy ship Nandimithra, facilitating coordinated maritime manoeuvres and enhanced operational coordination and interoperability between the two maritime forces. According to the Defence Ministry, the visit underscored the enduring maritime partnership between India and Sri Lanka and reaffirmed their shared commitment to regional maritime cooperation and capacity building, in line with New Delhis vision of MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions).

Delhi HC directs WFI to decide Vinesh Phogat's show-cause notices within two weeks
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) The Delhi High Court has directed the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to take a decision, within two weeks, on the show-cause notices issued to wrestler Vinesh Phogat, observing that the uncertainty surrounding the disciplinary proceedings could affect the three-time Olympians preparations and performance in upcoming competitions. A single-judge Bench of Justice Amit Mahajan, while hearing Phogats plea challenging the show-cause notices issued on May 9 and June 17, observed that a sportsperson needed to be in a fit and relaxed state of mind to participate in competitive events and directed the WFI to conclude the proceedings within the stipulated period. The predicament expressed by the petitioner appears to be genuine. A sportsperson has to be in a fit and relaxed state of mind to participate in any competitive event of such nature as indicated so that their performance is not compromised in any way, Justice Mahajan said. The High Court further directed that if the WFI takes a decision on the show-cause notices after two weeks, the same will be kept in abeyance till the next date of hearing. During the proceedings, senior advocate Rajshekhar Rao, appearing for Phogat, submitted that the wrestler intended to participate in a national tournament scheduled to be held sometime in the middle of December and needed adequate time to prepare for the competition. He argued that the two show-cause notices had been kept pending like a hanging sword over the wrestler, creating uncertainty over the disciplinary action that could potentially affect her participation in future tournaments. Rao submitted that although no final order had been passed on the notices and there was presently no impediment to Phogat participating in upcoming tournaments, she apprehended that an adverse decision could be taken just before the commencement of a competition, leaving her with little opportunity to seek appropriate legal relief. Taking note of the submissions, the Delhi High Court issued notice to the WFI, the Union government and the other respondents. Their respective counsel accepted notice, and the High Court directed them to file replies, if any, before the next date of hearing. The latest development comes amid Phogat's ongoing legal battle with the WFI over disciplinary proceedings and the framework governing her return to competitive wrestling following pregnancy and childbirth. Phogat has challenged the two show-cause notices issued by the WFI, claiming that they formed part of a continuing pattern of arbitrary action aimed at obstructing her return to the sport after maternity leave. In a separate proceeding, the High Court had declined to grant her immediate relief to participate in the selection trials for the 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championships, observing that the eligibility criteria, which applied uniformly to all athletes, could not be relaxed in her favour at the interim stage. She has challenged the WFIs eligibility criteria, arguing that the framework failed to provide an appropriate mechanism for athletes returning to competitive sport after pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum recovery.

2027 WPL Auction Proves The Strength Of Womens Cricket, Says Chairman Jayesh George
Chairman Jayesh George: Womens Premier League (WPL) chairman Jayesh George said the recently-concluded auction, which drew about 150 players competing for just 27 slots, showed how far womens cricket has come, adding that the league now attracts talent from associate nations as well. I was excited to be a part of this because being the chairperson of this WPL and having it in my hometown adds value, right? The auction went on very well, and in my opening speech also, I said that we have only 27 players to be auctioned and 150 players in that lot. So it adds value to women's cricket. I think nowadays more and more women players are coming into the field, so thats very exciting, George said in a video posted by the WPL on its social media accounts on Friday. He pointed to the number of teenagers like Uma Kashvi and Samaira Raghav in the auction list getting picked by teams like Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants respectively. I think the women players are still growing and we could see from the list also. There are so many 15-year-olds, 16-year-olds, 17-year-old kids, one or two had been picked up from Mumbai Indians and it adds value playing with or maybe being a part of a team which has so many great players in their side. George said the presence of Indias biggest names in the league, including Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana, would draw more girls to the sport. Like they have Harman and Smriti all there, that adds value, and a lot of youngsters watching this will be prompted to play cricket. I think we have some older players who got into the auction, I think we have Asha Sobhana; shes from my state, and UP Warriors has taken her place, but it adds value, he added. George further said the number of players who went unsold reflected the depth of the pool rather than any shortfall. Around 150 players were there and so many are left out, so that shows the strength of the tournament. We could see players from Scotland have been picked up. Then some Sri Lankans, and so many, I think even from the UAE, somebody had been in the list; it adds value that, global-wise, the Womens Premier League is growing. The fifth season of the WPL will happen from January 14 to February 7, 2027, with the venues yet to be known. George also credited Indias ODI World Cup triumph and the aggressive batting of players like Shafali Verma for bringing womens cricket closer to the mens game in public appeal. I think after our World Cup victory and the way the women cricketers are playing, just like mens cricket, the way they hit sixes like Shafali and all those, it adds value just like mens cricket.

After impressing audiences with his performances in Jolly LLB, Aashram, Four More Shots Please and the recently released web series Musafir Cafe, Rajeev Siddhartha is now gearing up for his next film, Kinaare. The film marks Kirti Kulhari's debut as a producer and also features her in the lead role alongside Rajeev. Written and directed by brothers Akbar and Azam Qadri, Kinaare is set to premiere at the Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF) on Friday, October 30. On this special occasion, the talented Rajeev Siddhartha spoke exclusively to Bollywood Hungama about the film, his excitement over its festival premiere, and a lot more. What are your first thoughts about Kinaare premiering at the popular Dharamshala International Film Festival? I feel very grateful. We finished shooting the film quite recently, in January this year. It's lovely to have your film premiere so soon after completing its production. We always strongly believed in the story we were telling. When I first read the script, it reminded me of a lot of Iranian films that I had seen. There's something very meditative about it, with a lot of stillness. It doesn't have fast cuts or things happening at a frantic pace. It's a simple story that takes its time to unfold. Moreover, I have grown up in the hills, where life moves at a slower pace compared to the cities. Hence, I am particularly happy that a film like Kinaare is having its premiere in Dharamshala. As you rightly mentioned, DIFF is a renowned film festival, and it's wonderful that our film is finding its first audience there. From the posters and from what you said, it seems like this is a film with a lot thehrav Yes, absolutely! Every actor will tell you how wonderful it is to be part of films and stories where you can take your time. It's not always necessary that your co-actor delivers a line of dialogue and you immediately have to respond. Sometimes, you might want to pause, observe and absorb what the other person is saying. But even if you've taken that pause while performing, the editor might cut it out in the final film (laughs)! In Kinaare, there are a lot of pregnant pauses and thehrav, as you rightly pointed out. Just like in real life, a person doesn't always need to say something for you to understand what he or she is feeling. Sometimes, silence communicates much more than words. In this film, too, there are so many moments where just the eyes do the talking. And I think that's something very beautiful about the way this story has been told. I believe this is your first film to premiere at a film festival... Yes, it is (smiles). Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't even realized it until you mentioned it. But now that you say it, it's quite a lovely feeling to have a film premiering at a film festival. You previously worked with Kirti Kulhari in Four More Shots Please, which had a completely different setting and sensibility. Kinaare, meanwhile, is an entirely different world. Moreover, Kirti is also the producer this time. How was the experience of working with her? In Four More Shots Please, we hardly shared any scenes together. But in Kinaare, we are playing cousins, and most of our scenes are with each other. It was lovely to see Kirti being so completely in charge of the set and the entire team, while simultaneously balancing her responsibilities and doing a wonderful job as an actor. I used to joke with her that I could see similarities between her character in the film and the way she was producing it! I would tell her, You producing the film is actually helping me be my character! (laughs). It was also wonderful to work with somebody on a film like this, where there's so much give and take, intuitive listening and so many pauses. If you understand another person well, you don't necessarily feel the need to rush in with your point of view the moment they finish speaking. That was particularly important for a film like Kinaare. When the characters are opening their hearts and talking about things that have happened in their lives, it's important to give the other person the space to simply be and listen, rather than immediately jumping in with words. I'm sure we've all experienced this in our own lives. When you're extremely comfortable with someone, you can just sit together in silence without feeling the need to say anything. You don't have to constantly fill that silence with conversation. In that sense, I think our understanding of each other really helped the film. After seeing Kirti Kulhari successfully take the plunge into production, have you also been inspired to turn producer someday? I would love to! I'm sure producing isn't an easy job, but Kirti certainly made it look very easy. We were all in a bubble during those 17-18 days of shooting. We shot during the winter at a location outside Delhi, and there was something almost magical about the entire atmosphere. At no point did we have any doubts about whether we would be able to do justice to the film. We were simply so engrossed in shooting every day and having such a wonderful time that we didn't even realise when the shoot was over. It was one of those experiences where everybody was completely immersed in the process of making the film. And yes, I would definitely love to produce someday, although I'm quite sure it won't be as easy as Kirti made it seem (laughs)!

Some songs are timeless, and some feel as though they were always meant for a particular story. The title track of Nakhrewaalii brings back the cherished Kishore Kumar classic of the same name from the 1956 film New Delhi, giving the beloved song a new context in this fun Womantic comedy. Originally composed by Shankar-Jaikishan, with lyrics by Shailendra, the songs playful romantic spirit and Kishore Kumars unmistakably charming voice make it a natural fit for the films protagonist and its unconventional take on romance. Producer Aanand L Rai was keen to bring the classic into the film, finding a special connection between the song and the world of Nakhrewaalii. Talking about this Rai shared, Kishore Kumar jis voice has a beauty that is truly eternal. There is so much warmth, mischief and charm in this song, and it has stayed with us across generations. When we thought of Nakhrewaalii, the song felt like it belonged here. It brings back nostalgia, but there is also something incredibly timeless about it and I am sure the younger generation will cherish this version as much as we have loved the older one. For the film, the classic song has been reimagined with vocals by Priyankit Jaiswal alongside archival vocals by Kishore Kumar. This new track has lyrics written by Vayu and the music has been created by Vayu and Vaibhav Pani alongside the archival composition by Shankar-Jaikishan. Blending the nostalgia of the original with a contemporary sound, the track finds a fresh place in this new-age Womantic comedy. Directed by Rahul Shanklya, Nakhrewaalii features newcomers Ansh Duggal and Pragati Srivastava as its lead pair. Produced by Jio Studios and Colour Yellow Productions, Nakhrewaalii releases in cinemas on October 30, 2026.
