Punjab AAP condemns Delhi Police action against protesters
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 11 (IANS) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab on Sunday condemned the Delhi Police action against protesters in the national capital, particularly the violation of the sanctity of Gurdwara Sri Bangla Sahib. AAP MLAs Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, Baljinder Kaur and Manvinder Singh Giaspura demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the release of all protesters detained during Saturdays protest and strict action against police personnel involved in the violation of Gurdwara maryada. The lawmakers said the BJP-led Central government had crossed all limits by using force against protesters, disrupting public transport and allowing police personnel to enter Gurdwara Sri Bangla Sahib wearing shoes and with their heads uncovered. They said the detention and harassment of people inside the gurdwara premises had deeply hurt Sikh sentiments and raised serious questions about the BJPs respect for religious institutions. The actions of the Delhi Police have brought back painful memories of Operation Bluestar and the events of 1984, which the Sikh community has never forgotten. The BJP has repeatedly criticised the Congress over 1984, but the incident at Bangla Sahib has exposed the hypocrisy of its own politics, Dhaliwal said, adding the BJP and the Congress may be political rivals, but their approach towards suppressing Sikhs and their voices appears no different. He further said, I appeal to the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib to take serious notice of this incident and call upon Sikh organisations to raise their voices against the violation of gurdwara maryada. Questioning the silence of the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) leadership, legislator Baljit Kaur said, When such a serious incident has taken place, why are Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal and SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami silent? Are political understandings with the BJP more important to them than Sikh sentiments? I urge the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib to take a firm stand and demand accountability, she added.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday arrested one more accused from West Bengal in connection with a terror conspiracy orchestrated by an offshoot of the proscribed terrorist organisation Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), an official said.

The conspiracy involved the radicalisation of vulnerable youth, the propagation of extremist ideology and the recruitment of individuals into the organisation, the NIA said.

The Untold Story of Luhnu Cricket Ground: From a Submerged Towns Rebirth to a Ranji Trophy Comeback
When cricket fans think of picturesque stadiums in Himachal Pradesh, the spectacular, snow-capped peaks of Dharamshala inevitably dominate the conversation. But this October, domestic crickets spotlight shall take a dramatic 150-kilometre detour southwest. Following persistent, unseasonal rain that left the Dharamshala outfield waterlogged and unplayable, the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) made a breaking announcement: the high-profile Elite Group D Ranji Trophy clash between powerhouse defending champions Mumbai and Himachal Pradesh (1821 October 2026) has been officially moved to the Luhnu Cricket Ground in Bilaspur. For Luhnu, a highly rated 4.4-star venue praised by locals for its well-maintained pitches and spacious outfield, this match marks a monumental competitive resurgence. Moving a first-class four-day match on short notice is a massive logistical gamble, but the Luhnu Cricket Ground is uniquely equipped for weather crises. Nestled directly on the edge of the expansive Gobind Sagar Lake, the ground features newly upgraded SISGrass hybrid pitches. By injecting 5% artificial polymer fibres into the natural grass turf, the square has become highly resilient to player wear and tear while recovering exceptionally fast from heavy rains. While the venue boasts a dedicated team of passionate staff, it has spent over two decades waiting for a moment like this. Luhnu first hosted youth cricket in 1999, followed by its first-class debut in the 2001/02 Ranji Trophy when Himachal played Delhi, and a subsequent fixture against Hyderabad in 2002/03. For 24 years, no further major senior domestic matches were staged hereuntil the weather gods and modern turf technology combined to hand Bilaspur its grand stage. This isn't the first time the Luhnu Ground has been intricately tied to Dharamshala's weather and logistical dramas. In March 2024, just 48 hours before the high-stakes 5th Test Match between India and England, the tranquil town of Bilaspur witnessed an unprecedented spectacle. At the crack of dawn, Indian Captain Rohit Sharma embarked on a frantic multi-leg journey after attending the Ambani family pre-wedding festivities. Having flown out from Delhi at 5:30 AM, a private helicopter braved the volatile mountain weather to fly Rohit directly into Bilaspur, landing on the Luhnu outfield at the behest of then-Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur. Joined by Head Coach Rahul Dravid, Rohit spent the morning at the Luhnu ground inaugurating the Sansad Khel Mahakumbh 3.0. The duo even thrilled the local crowds by playing tennis-ball cricket with local youth right on the lakeside turf. At the time, Thakur publicly lauded Rohit, noting that the captain easily could have refused the demanding early-morning trip so close to a Test match but chose to come to inspire the 75,000 young rural athletes gathered at the venue. But what happened after the Bilaspur event created its own separate media storm. With India's official team net practice scheduled for early afternoon in Dharamshala, there was zero time to negotiate the winding mountain highways. Rohit and Dravid boarded the chopper at Luhnu once more, flying directly over the Dhauladhar peaks to Dharamshala. To avoid delaying his arrival at the team camp, the private chopper touched down at the Kangra District Badminton Association Ground. Because the landing took place right next to the iconic HPCA infrastructure, social media went into a frenzy over the grand helicopter entry, allowing the skipper to instantly join the squad for training without losing a single minute to road traffic. Luhnus entire existence is rooted in a story of rebirth. In the 1960s, the construction of the iconic Bhakra Dam transformed the Sutlej River, completely submerging the old historical town of Bilaspur. As a new town was meticulously planned and built on higher ground, Luhnu emerged as its vast, open-air cultural heart and primary oxygen zone. Instead of Dharamshalas jagged peaks, players and spectators at Luhnu are treated to a stunning, serene lakeside view, where the lush outfield seems to melt directly into the emerald-blue waters of the Gobind Sagar reservoir. It is a place where migratory Siberian ducks fly past in the winter, and the earthy fragrance of pine leaves fills the air. It stands as one of the most picturesque stadiums in India. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories With plans currently underway to further develop the surrounding waters into an official hub for adventure water sports and boating festivals, Luhnu is quickly transitioning from a beloved community park into a premier multi-sport destination. As Mumbai travels to town this October, the lakeside ground is finally getting the grand first-class cricket spotlight it was always meant to occupy.

International chorus grows for release of human rights lawyers in Pakistan: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS) Many academicians and scholars of Pakistani origin, working in the universities of United States and the United Kingdom have raised their voices regarding detention of human rights lawyers Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha in Pakistan. They have demanded the withdrawal of charges against both lawyers and their immediate release from police custody. Dubbing this as a serious issue concerning freedom of expression and the rule of law, several professors and educationists have called for the withdrawal of charges against the lawyers and called for their immediate release from detention. The list of signatories, in support of the two lawyers, criticised the Pakistani establishment for conspiring and plotting to put them in jail despite Supreme Court setting them free. The two lawyers were reportedly sentenced to 17 years in prison in January 2026 under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) over social media posts, critical of alleged rights abuses. The academicians said that the Supreme Court of Pakistan suspended their sentences and granted them bail on September 17, 2026, but police took them into custody within hours in a separate case. The lawyers are said to be currently under detention. According to a report in Dawn, the academics said Mazari had spoken out against enforced disappearances, represented victims and their families, and publicly challenged the establishment while Chattha had defended people facing blasphemy charges and represented prisoners on death row. Criminal law must not become a weapon for silencing dissent or intimidating lawyers for their advocacy, the statement said. According to the signatories, Pakistan, as a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, was obligated to protect the right to criticise state institutions.

Rahul Gandhi spreading anarchy, lying on govt disrespecting Tamil culture: BJP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS) The BJP on Sunday accused Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, of lying about the Centre attacking Tamil language and culture, questioning his intention behind attempts to spark north-south and language divisions and spread anarchy by attacking the electoral system. Addressing the media in New Delhi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi shared information on several initiatives of the central government for honouring Tamil culture, including the launch of Kashi Tamil Sangamam and promoting unity. Rahul Gandhi promotes divisibility, but our government focuses on promoting unity, said Trivedi, reminding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently gifted Russian President Putin a Russian edition of the ancient Tamil classic Thirukural by Saint Thiruvalluvar and also decided to set up a defence corridor in the state to promote industry. On the day of PM Modis visit to Tamil Nadu, Trivedi said Gandhi is spreading lies that the Centre is attacking Tamil Nadus language, culture and history. In earlier rallies and at a Chhatron ki Goonj event in Chennai on the eve of PM Modis visit, the Congress leader had alleged that the Centre was treating Tamil identity as secondary to its traditions. Trivedi also slammed the Leader of Opposition for batting for foreign forces inimical to Indias economic interests and joining hands with external forces to influence the integrity of elections in India. He said that US President Donald Trump had said in 2024 that USAID was spending crores of rupees to increase voter turnout in India, and in 2025, when the Election Commission started purification of suspected voters, some people in India have started opposing the process. Trivedi also sought answers from Gandhi for comparing the recent security curbs against an illegal protest against the SIR of electoral rolls in Delhi to the Emergency, claiming that by doing so he had insulted those who faced atrocities during the draconian, dark phase in the nations democracy. He accused Gandhi of harbouring the dangerous ambition of turning democracy into mobocracy and said the LOP is disrespecting those who fought for their rights and suffered incarceration during the Emergency. How can curbs over a one km area be compared with the Emergency? During the Emergency, fundamental rights were suspended, and Opposition leaders were put in jail without any hearing, he said. The youth need to be reminded that during the Emergency, Parliaments five-year term was extended by one year to bypass elections, and the Defence of India Rules were imposed that empowered imprisonment of people without any bail or hearing for uttering anything against the then government, he said. Today, the people are commenting and using foul language against the government and the Prime Minister and still not facing any Emergency-type consequences, he said. Targeting Gandhi for lying about electoral wrongdoings and spreading anarchy with his protests against the Chief Election Commissioner, Trivedi said, Rahul Gandhi first said the EVMs are managed. Now, he says the electoral rolls are manipulated. I want to ask him if EVMS were indeed managed, then where is there a need to manipulate the voters list. Both of his claims cant be true at the same time.

Festive e-commerce sales hit Rs 24,000 crore in first two days: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS) India's leading e-commerce marketplaces witnessed a strong start to the festive shopping season, generating an estimated Rs 24,000 crore in sales during the first two days as consumers stepped up purchases across smartphones, electronics, appliances and fashion categories, a report has said. According to Redseer Strategy Consultants, online platforms including Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and Ajio recorded gross merchandise value (GMV) of more than $2.5 billion, or about Rs 24,200 crore, during the opening two days of festive sales. The consultancy estimated that 8-9 crore orders were placed by shoppers across the country, while around 6-6.5 crore consumers participated in the shopping event. The sales value was nearly six times higher than the average daily business-as-usual run rate, highlighting the scale of festive-season spending. Smartphones remained the largest contributor to overall sales, accounting for 38-40 per cent of total GMV, translating into an estimated Rs 9,100-9,600 crore. Consumer electronics emerged as the second-largest category, contributing around 25-27 per cent of total sales, or roughly Rs 6,000-6,500 crore. Fashion products accounted for 15-18 per cent of overall sales, generating an estimated Rs 3,630-4,350 crore during the period, the report noted. Demand for large appliances and electronics remained particularly strong. Televisions, refrigerators and air conditioners together accounted for more than two-thirds of large-appliance sales. Among televisions, 55-inch models from brands such as TCL, LG, Samsung and Xiaomi dominated demand, representing more than three-fourths of the top-selling stock-keeping units. Redseer noted that electronics had already posted growth of over 20 per cent in the first half of 2026 as consumers accelerated purchases amid expectations of higher prices later in the year. During the first two days of festive sales, electronics orders surged to nearly 14 times their normal daily levels, supported by robust demand for laptops and internet-connected devices. Fashion also emerged as a major growth driver, with GMV in the segment rising 22-25 per cent year-on-year. Sales in the category were three to five times higher than average daily levels, aided by demand for affordable festive apparel, particularly in Tier 2 cities and smaller towns.

India's Defence Diplomacy Eyes The Mediterranean: Cyprus, Greece and the BrahMos Make Turkey Nervous
The BrahMos is the headline. The real test is the paperwork. India's Defence Secretary heads to the Mediterranean on a visit to Cyprus and Greece, as Delhi pushes maritime cooperation and defence exports into Europe. India and Cyprus signed a defence roadmap through 2031 during the Cypriot president's May state visit. Cyprus is reportedly eyeing the supersonic BrahMos missile, but an EU loan scheme caps non-European components at 35 percent, and Russia's 49.5 percent stake in the joint venture could give Moscow a say. India is still awaiting Russian approval to deliver BrahMos to Indonesia and Vietnam. Ankara is watching closely, given its ties with Pakistan and Cyprus's long dispute with Turkey over northern Cyprus, maritime boundaries and energy. Greece, the next stop, could be another headache for Turkey. Delhi says its aim is partnerships and strategic flexibility. Shreya Chandra has the full story.

India's draft steel policy targets 604 million tonnes capacity by 2047
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS) The government has unveiled a draft steel policy targeting a close to 3-fold jump in India's crude steel capacity to 604 million tonnes by 2047 from the current level of around 220 million tonnes. The new policy draws up a roadmap to cut carbon emissions in the steel sector and increase the availability of iron ore and coking coal to meet the anticipated demand. These raw materials account for over 65-70 per cent of the cost of making steel. While India is largely self-sufficient in iron ore, it imports nearly all of its coking coal requirement. The policy aims to cut the average carbon-emission intensity in the steel sector to around 1.54 tons of carbon dioxide per ton of crude steel by 2047 from the current 2.54 tons, in line with India's net zero emission goal for 2070. According to the draft National Steel Policy 2047, the demand for finished steel will rise to 505 MT by 2047 while per capita consumption is expected to go up to 302 kg. The increase in capacity is also expected to result in steel exports rising by 45 MT. Iron ore demand is projected to rise to 772 MT by 2047 from 299 MT in 2025. The policy proposes securing high-grade iron ore reserves through overseas assets and joint ventures, alongside measures to improve domestic supply and transport infrastructure. It also proposes to expand slurry pipelines, which transport iron ore in a water-based mixture, to reduce reliance on road and rail transport and improve logistics efficiency. Coking coal demand is expected to triple to 236 MT. Because India imports 92 per cent of its coking coal, the draft outlines plans to reduce import dependence through domestic mining, expand domestic coal washeries, go for long-term supply arrangements, and leverage AI to optimise coal blends. Other raw materials important for the steel sector, like manganese, limestone, etc., will also remain in policy focus to ensure long-term resource sustainability. The proposed roadmap includes improving energy efficiency, increasing renewable electricity use, promoting scrap-based steelmaking and adopting hydrogen-based technologies and carbon capture. These measures will need to accompany capacity expansion to help the industry meet its emissions target. The policy also focuses on value-added steel such as stainless steel and speciality steel to reduce dependence on imported raw materials and technology. Steel quality will be strengthened through revised Indian Standards and conformity assessment mechanisms. Digital transformation is identified as an emerging priority. This includes a focus on digital infrastructure, common data standards and Industry 4.0 adoption, driven by trusted AI and autonomous production systems. International cooperation in the steel sector will become a priority area in the coming years, especially for raw material diversification, steel trade and technology collaboration. India, the second-largest producer and consumer of steel, will collaborate with other countries to take the sector forward in the right direction, the draft stated.

Regime change certain in 2027: Akhilesh lashes out at BJP, Election Commission
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 11 (IANS) The Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday asserted that a change of power was certain in 2027 Assembly elections and criticized the Election Commission (EC) over alleged police action on the protesters in the national capital. Speaking to the press, after paying respects to Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan at the Jayaprakash Narayan International Centre (JPNIC) in Lucknow on latter's birth anniversary, the SP supremo said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be shown the door by people in 2027 Uttar Pradesh polls and the 'partisan' Election Commission won't be able to save its 'sinking' fortunes. Swearing by the Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan (JP)'s 'Total Revolution' (Sampoorna Kranti) slogans, Akhilesh Yadav said that the movement remains relevant even today for challenging the regime and his party will bring out the 'desired' result by walking down that path. The process of change has begun. The anguish among the public will accelerate the process of change, he added, after garlanding the statue of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan at the memorial. The SP supremo also took a swipe over Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the Ayodhya seat, days after he challenged the latter to contest the elections from the holy city. Responding to the Chief Minister's questions regarding Ayodhya, Akhilesh Yadav said that arrogant individuals would not be able to withstand the strength of his 'PDA' (Pichhda, Dalit, AlpsankhyakBackward, Dalit, and Minority) alliance. The SP Chief said that the public is now familiar with the BJP's politics and the party will have to give befitting reply to its actions. He claimed that a change would occur in 2027 and that the process has already begun. He said that the BJP is rattled by political strength of the PDA and questioned the role of Election Commission. He said that EC's duty is to encourage maximum voter participation and ensure a smooth voting process. Raising the issue of the alleged assault on residents of Uttar Pradesh in Delhi, Akhilesh Yadav questioned the Election Commission's accountability and demanded its resignation.
