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

Gold extends slide to 1.48 lakh per 10 gm in Delhi amid weak demand
Gold prices fell for the second straight session, declining Rs 700 to Rs 1.48 lakh per 10 grams in the national capital on Wednesday, as subdued local demand and weak global trend weighed on the precious metal. The yellow metal of 99.9 per cent purity fell to a one-week low, depreciating Rs 700 to Rs 1,48,900 per 10 grams, inclusive of all taxes, from Tuesday's closing level of Rs 1,49,600, according to local traders. It was quoted at Rs 1,48,600 per 10 grams on September 29. Gold prices declined in the domestic market on Wednesday amid weak global cues and subdued retail demand, said Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst - Commodities at HDFC Securities. A rebound in crude oil amid renewed concerns over supply disruptions triggered by West Asia tensions also added to the dip in the precious metal prices, he added. However, depreciation in the rupee kept a lid on the precious metal's upside, analysts said. The rupee slumped 43 paise to close at 96.78 (provisional) against the US dollar

Delhi High Court Orders Government to Decide on Body Cameras for Police in Six Months
The Delhi High Court has directed the government to decide on implementing body cameras for police and RAF personnel within six months. Delhi High Court Orders Government to Decide on Body Cameras for Police in Six Months
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 7 (IANS) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday criticised the registration of an FIR against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing concern over what he described as the deteriorating state of democracy in the country. Political tensions have intensified following recent developments in Delhi and the filing of an FIR against the two Congress leaders. Reacting to the developments while speaking to the media in Jaipur, Gehlot launched a sharp attack on the Union government and questioned whether democracy in India would survive what he described as increasingly authoritarian actions. He questioned whether India's democratic system was also being undermined in a manner comparable, in his view, to the political systems in countries such as China, Russia and North Korea. Responding to questions from reporters, the former Chief Minister said such actions by the government and administration were not unexpected, remarking that hey can do anything. He added that the registration of FIRs against senior Opposition leaders such as Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, along with what he described as objectionable police conduct towards Congress General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal, indicated the direction in which the country was heading. Gehlot said the issue should not be viewed merely as a matter concerning one political party or a handful of leaders. According to the former Chief Minister, it is a matter of serious concern for citizens across the country, particularly young people and the future of the next generation. Gehlot also spoke about the events surrounding a protest near Akashvani Bhavan involving Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. According to Gehlot, the protest was intended to convey a message to the Union government and the public after around 300 MPs sought to meet the Election Commission, but were allegedly unable to meet its officials. The former Chief Minister asked why the Election Commission officials were unwilling to meet the opposition INDIA bloc MPs. Drawing on his experience in Parliament, Gehlot said the Parliament Annexe is a highly secure location and noted that he had worked there for around two decades. He added that had the three Election Commissioners met the INDIA bloc MPs there, it could have provided an opportunity to transparently address questions surrounding allegations of vote theft and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) issue. Instead, he alleged, the opportunity was missed, the leaders were detained and FIRs were subsequently registered against them. Gehlot expressed concern that democratic institutions in the country were gradually being weakened and warned that the situation was moving in a dangerous direction. He also questioned the reported absence of public statements from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the developments. He said that with protests and demonstrations taking place at several locations across the country, the response and accountability of the country's top leadership should be clearly visible. According to Gehlot, the lack of a visible response from the Prime Minister and Home Minister raises serious questions about the functioning of the present political system.

The UK and India welcomed the constructive discussions and reaffirmed the important role of the Financial Markets Dialogue (FMD) in supporting their shared ambitions for sustainable growth, deeper trade and investment, and resilient financial markets. Both sides also agreed to identify practical and potential solutions to deepen financial services links, an official statement said on Wednesday.

To support market development, bilateral trade and investment, both sides agreed on the importance of the Insurance and Pensions Workplan established in 2023. They also recognised the value of competitive and resilient markets, access to specialist expertise, diverse pools of capital and reinsurance capacity in managing complex risks and supporting long-term domestic development. Both sides also discussed the opportunities in reinsurance arising from Indias evolving regulatory framework, and from deeper cooperation between the London Market and Indian insurers and reinsurers. Participants also exchanged experiences in pensions regulation, governance, coverage and long-term savings reform. They discussed measures to increase participation and support productive long-term investment and agreed to explore knowledge sharing in areas aligned with their domestic priorities. Both sides welcomed further internationalisation of the Indian rupee and recognised Londons role as the leading offshore rupee trading hub. On sustainable finance, they discussed the importance of credible sustainable finance frameworks, high-quality disclosures, global standards, and investor confidence in mobilising private capital for the low-carbon and climate-resilient transition. Participants exchanged updates on their respective approaches to fintech and innovation. India shared its experience on scaling fintech adoption and financial inclusion, through digital public infrastructure (DPI), including digital identity, digital payments, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and data exchange frameworks. Both sides agreed the importance of supporting responsible innovation and competition without compromising regulatory oversight. Both sides exchanged perspectives on the potential opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial services and agreed on the value of continued bilateral exchange and coordination through relevant international fora.

Will not support INDIA Bloc's Odisha bandh: BJD
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 7 (IANS) The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Wednesday said it will not support the Odisha bandh called by the Congress-led INDIA bloc for October 8, clarifying its stand on the statewide shutdown. Political parties under the INDIA bloc had earlier announced an Odisha Bandh on Thursday over demands including the repeal of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2026, the resignation of School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond over textbook errors, and the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the electoral process. Speaking to media persons, Opposition Chief Whip in the Assembly and senior BJD leader Pramila Mallik said that when Naveen Patnaik noticed Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar had committed irregularities in the SIR process and EVMs, he said action should be taken against Gyanesh Kumar for misleading the voters and youth of India and mismanaging the voter list. Mallik further clarified that neither the regional party nor its MPs, who joined the march organised by political parties under the INDIA bloc in New Delhi on Tuesday over alleged deletions from the voter rolls and the 'Special Intensive Revision' (SIR) process, had joined any political group, and that the party still adhered to its equidistance policy. She said that, as the rally was organised against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the electoral process, the BJD MPs joined the march. The senior BJD leader said the party would fight against any decision that goes against the interests of Odisha and its people. On the confusion over the party's stand on the shutdown call by the INDIA bloc, Mallik clarified that the party is not part of any particular bloc and will not support any programme by any group. She also clarified that the INDIA bloc had not held any discussions with the BJD. It is worth noting that earlier in the day, while interacting with reporters, Mallik had expressed the BJD's support for the Odisha Bandh call given by the INDIA bloc for October 8. However, within a few hours, she retracted her earlier statement and clarified the party's stand before the media.
Green SM Builds Female Passengers
VMPL New Delhi [India], October 7: For female commuters in Delhi NCR, getting from one place to another is only part of the experience. Green SM is taking steps to make each journey more predictable, supported and safety-focused, from booking to arrival. For women in Delhi NCR, getting through the day can mean commuting to work, heading to a meeting in Gurugram, and making the journey home after dark. Some trips are for work, others for family, while others are simply about meeting friends after a busy day. The rise of ride-hailing has made these everyday choices easier. In a 2023 Oxford Economics study of more than 7,000 app-based ride-hailing users across five Indian cities, including Delhi, four in 10 working women surveyed said ride-hailing had helped them join the workforce, while one in three said it had helped them access more suitable job opportunities. But being able to book a ride is only the beginning. Having a safer and more predictable travel experience also means having t...

Former Delhi High Court judge Justice Shiv Narayan Dhingra on Wednesday criticised the opposition INDIA bloc over its street protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process and march to the Election Commission of India (ECI) headquarters. Speaking to ANI, he countered allegations of mass voter deletion during the ECI's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Justice Dhingra said the agitation was a politically motivated media spectacle rather than a genuine concern over voter rights. Rebutting opposition claims that the SIR exercise is designed to disenfranchise legitimate voters, Justice Dhingra emphasised that intensive electoral roll revision is a mandatory statutory obligation of the Election Commission: This entire noise is not being made by voters. It is being made by those political parties that could not win the election. If the voter has any grievance, the remedy is there. If your name is not there, you can tell the Election Commission, 'I have been wrongly...

Indian Premier League: Newly-appointed Delhi Capitals (DC) head coach Sourav Ganguly on Wednesday said he is excited to take on his new role and pledged to give his best to make the franchise successful in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Ganguly shares a long-standing association with DC across various capacities. The former India captain served as DC's mentor during the 2019 season before stepping away to assume the role of BCCI President. After that, Ganguly was subsequently appointed as JSW's director of cricket in 2024. Ganguly, whos also the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), made his formal coaching debut with Pretoria Capitals in the 2025 SA20 season and has also been actively involved with the DC setup in the Women's Premier League (WPL). Well, I'm very, very excited. I've been with them for two seasons, both as director of cricket. The first season in 2019, we lost in the semis and then I went away as BCCI president. So I'm really, really excited for the season ahead. It's the next year, IPL, and Delhi is a very good team. This is a very good side, and I'll be giving my best to make the side successful, Ganguly said in a video shared on the franchise's official YouTube channel on Wednesday. Asked on what clicked for him to be DC head coach, Ganguly said, I wanted to experience the mindset of a coach because it's not the same as a player. It's a bit different. You need to understand things. You need to be relaxed. You still need to find a way to get the best out of players and work with the players because players are different. It's not you batting or you bowling anymore. It's about somebody else batting and bowling and winning cricket matches. So it's important that you sync with them and understand what they want, how they can get better, and work with them, which is very important, he explained. Addressing his lingering drive to guide DC to a championship win, Ganguly insisted that the current group possesses the talent required to go head-to-head with any side in the competition. Motivation to take Delhi to the top, we did in 2019. In 2020, Delhi was a very good team. I was involved in making the team, but then I left and became the BCCI president. So from that point of view, that motivation will always remain to take that squad to a different level. I think that's what I will be looking out for the players because there's enormous talent in the dressing room. When you go man-to-man with some of the best teams in the competition, Delhi is no way behind. Hopefully with this squad, we'll be able to reach newer heights in the years to come, he asserted. Hailing the squad's core, Ganguly highlighted the key addition of wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant via a trade earlier this year, alongside a star-studded lineup featuring KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Mitchell Starc, and David Miller. We needed a middle-order Indian batter, and Pant fits it perfectly. He was with us. He played well for us in the past. Hopefully this year, next year, when he turns up again, I think he'll use the time and space and the matches to become a better player. He enjoys batting at Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, and hopefully we'll see the best of Pant in the years to come for the Delhi shirt. It's a good team - KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant, Mitchell Stark, Lungi Ngidi, Ashutosh, Miller, Stubbs. So it's a pretty strong team, man and I hope we play to our potential. I hope everyone understands how good they are and goes and expresses themselves. So that's very important for the squad, he noted. On the tactical front, Ganguly underlined that T20 cricket demands an uncompromising, aggressive approach while adapting to conditions at their home venue, the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Well, in T20 cricket, it's only one brand. Keep hitting sixes and keep hitting fours. So that's what the brand is all about and you play accordingly. It's a good wicket at Feroz Shah Kotla. You play according to the situation, you play the game and react to the situation, which is most important in sport. So from that point of view, that's the brand we are going to play. We're going to play to win. That's always been the case and hopefully with the squad we have, we'll become successful, he said. Calling on the squad to deliver for the franchise management and fans, Ganguly admitted that the team's track record over the last 18 years needs significant improvement.
