Delhi govt to construct 61-km road along Najafgarh drain to curb congestion
To reduce traffic congestion, the Delhi government plans to hire a private consultant to construct an approximately 61-kilometre elevated corridor along the Najafgarh drain, connecting Wazirabad to North Delhi, officials said on Friday. The government announced the project in February this year. Now the Public Works Department (PWD) plans to hire a consultant to conduct a feasibility study and prepare a project plan. The stretch is heavily congested due to a mix of slow-moving vehicles and cross movements during peak and non-peak hours, causing heavy traffic. We plan to hire a consultant to conduct a feasibility study before the project starts, a PWD official said. As per the plan, roads will be developed from Chhawla to Basaidarapur along both sides of the drain over a length of 27.415 kilometres, totalling 54.83 kilometres across both banks. Further, a 5.94-kilometre two-lane road will be constructed on the left bank from Jhatikra Bridge to Chhawla Bridge. The primary objective

DPL: Our Plan Was To Spend Maximum Time At Crease, Says South Delhis Tanisha
For East Delhi Riders: South Delhi Superstarz batter Tanisha Singh revealed that her side's tactical focus was on building long partnerships and staying at the crease as long as possible after they crushed East Delhi Riders by 60 runs in the 2026 Womens Delhi Premier League (DPL) clash. Led by an explosive unbeaten 75 off 36 balls from Shweta Sehrawat, who got included in India A squad for the upcoming T20 games against Australia A, South Delhi Superstarz posted a tournament-high total of 179/6 in 20 overs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Tanisha played a vital supporting role by smashing a quickfire 40 off 27 deliveries laced with six boundaries, while Nishika Singh contributed 29 off 26 balls. Reflecting on her crucial knock and the team's batting strategy, Tanisha, who got India A call-up for the 50-over and red-ball games against Australia A, highlighted the importance of top-order endurance in posting a massive total. Priya, Shweta and I were planning to spend as much time as possible at the crease. We were successful in doing that.

Resignation will come, says MP Ruhullah; writes open letter to Farooq Abdullah
MP Ruhullah writes to Farooq Abdullah, questions partys stand on Article 370 GK WEB DESK Srinagar, Aug 28: Srinagar MP and JKNC leader Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Friday wrote a letter to party president Dr Farooq Abdullah and questioned partys leadership position on the restoration of Article 370, which was taken away by New Delhi on August 05, 2019. He said the demand for restoration of constitutional guarantees cannot be abandoned merely in favour of statehood. In a letter dated August 28, 2026, addressed to the party president, Mehdi referred to remarks made during a press statement on August 25 in which the leadership had questioned how long people would be a slave and urged them to stand on their feet. Mehdi said those remarks resonated with the frustration felt by many in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly over the perception that the regions demands were being pursued from a position of supplication before the BJP-led government at the Centre. However, he questioned why the same political position was being criticised when he raised similar issues. I refuse to believe that your statement is merely hollow posturing for public consumption, while your politics reflects something entirely different, Mehdi said in the letter, adding that such a situation would be personally disappointing to him. Questions begging remark on Article 370 Referring to the statement that you want 370, but you beg from Delhi, Mehdi argued that the demand for Article 370 restoration was not an unreasonable political position. He pointed out that restoration of Article 370 had also featured in the BJPs 2024 Assembly election manifesto, while the Supreme Court had recognised the constitutional history surrounding the provision. According to Mehdi, the JKNCs position should therefore not be treated as fundamentally different from the position it had itself taken earlier. He further argued that accepting statehood as the outer limit of Jammu and Kashmirs political aspirations could amount to legitimising and normalising what he described as the constitutional changes made in August 2019. Mehdi said the party had come to power with commitments relating to the restoration of Articles 370 and 35A, but was now increasingly presenting statehood as the principal political objective. He referred to the argument that the very regime which abrogated Article 370 will never restore it, and questioned whether such an argument was sufficient justification for abandoning the larger demand. He said the issue was not simply about political positioning but concerned the dignity, constitutional guarantees and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Mehdi also raised broader concerns over employment opportunities, land, natural resources, religious rights, traditions, language and environmental protection. He noted that a large proportion of Jammu and Kashmirs population is young and said uncertainty over employment and opportunities was becoming a major concern. Our job as elected representatives is to fight this constant degradation and dehumanisation and not to adjust our aspirations to what the BJP is willing to concede, Mehdi said. The Srinagar MP said elected representatives had a responsibility to ensure that the political and constitutional changes of August 2019 did not become accepted as the new political normal. He also argued that restoration of statehood should not be presented as an adequate substitute for the constitutional provisions and protections that were altered in 2019. Mehdi stressed the need to continue seeking constitutional guarantees for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, including protections concerning their land, resources, culture and traditions. He questioned how his position on these matters could be considered objectionable, particularly within the JKNC. In another pointed reference, Mehdi reminded the party leadership that it had previously served as Chief Minister when the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly passed the Autonomy Resolution. He questioned why raising the issue of constitutional guarantees had now become so controversial. What has changed the aspirations of our people, or the JKNCs willingness to stand up for them? he asked. Mehdi said he was raising these questions not out of disrespect but because he remembered the party leaderships earlier political position and its role in seeking greater constitutional autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir. The Srinagar MP said there were many more questions that could be raised but that, for the time being, he would await a response from the party leadership. He said the people of Jammu and Kashmir also had a right to know what the JKNC truly stood for on the question of constitutional guarantees and the political future of the region. Mehdi further stated that his resignation from the party would come and that he would have resigned even without being asked to do so, but insisted that accountability must precede his departure. The letter also addressed what Mehdi described as a disrespectful attack made against him while demanding his resignation, indicating that the disagreement had developed beyond a policy dispute into a wider political confrontation within the party. The letter highlights growing differences over whether the restoration of statehood should remain the principal immediate objective of Jammu and Kashmirs political leadership or whether demands for the restoration of Article 370 and broader constitutional safeguards should continue to remain central to the JKNCs political agenda.

China LIED TO Nepal? New Videos Expose Tibet Flood Trigger, Did Beijing Fail To Warn Kathmandu?
Two videos from the Chinese side appear to show an ice-and-rock collapse triggering the devastating NepalTibet flash flood. The flood swept through Gyirong Port and Nepals Rasuwa district before moving downstream through the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river systems. The US Geological Survey later identified the seismic signal as a glacial collapse and landslide, not a conventional earthquake. China has rejected claims that it failed to warn Nepal and has called them fake news. But critics want to know whether Chinese authorities detected the collapse, river blockage or rising water before the flood struck. The evidence does not prove that Beijing caused the disaster or deliberately withheld information. It does show the dangers of weak cross-border warning systems. For India, the concern is larger. The same Himalayan region feeds the Siang and Brahmaputra. Can New Delhi trust upstream data when the next disaster strikes?

Govt to allocate fortnightly sugar sale quota to mills from September to prevent artificial scarcity
New Delhi, Aug 28: The government on Friday said retail prices of sugar have started to ease with ex-mill rates declining by around 20 per cent in the last few days and announced that it will allocate a fortnightly sale quota to mills from September to ensure smooth supply and prevent artificial scarcity. At present, the food ministry allocates a monthly quota to mills for the sale of sugar. In an official statement, the Food Ministry said it is closely monitoring availability and prices of sugar, while asserting that there is no shortage of sweetener in India. The ministry said it carried out physical verification of stocks in sugar mills and the exercise revealed that some mills were holding more stocks than declared in monthly returns, while some mills sold less stock than their monthly allocations. The Government has also observed that, in certain cases, sugar sold by mills at the beginning of the month was being dispatched or lifted by buyers only towards the end of the month. This practice contributed to artificial scarcity in the market, the statement said. To address this problem, the government has decided to introduce a fortnightly sugar allocation system from September, replacing the existing monthly quota system. Under the fortnightly quota, mills will have to sell at least 40 per cent of the allocation in the first week and the remaining quantity in the succeeding week. Commenting on the benefits of the new measure, the ministry said it will help to monitor the demand and supply situation, respond quickly to changes in market conditions and prevent artificial scarcity. It can release additional stocks if required to maintain adequate market availability. Sugar mills have already been directed to ensure that sugar sold is dispatched from the mill within seven days of sale, the ministry said. These two measures fortnightly quota allocation and mandatory dispatch within seven days would significantly improve the entire supply chain. Bulk consumers of sugar have been asked not to hold stocks in excess of their operational requirements. Talking about the prevailing high sugar prices, the government said it has taken a series of proactive measures to ensure adequate availability of sugar and prevent artificial tightening of supplies in the domestic market. To control prices, the Centre has recently allowed imports of 10 lakh tonnes of raw sugar by October 31. It has imposed stock holding limits on dealers, as well as bulk consumers like beverage makers. Exports were already banned a few months back. As a result, the ex-mill sugar prices have declined by around 20 per cent in recent days, while retail sugar prices have also started coming down. Given the normal transmission of changes through the supply chain, retail prices are expected to follow the downward movement in ex-mill prices shortly, the ministry said. The food ministry noted that the downward trend in ex-mill and retail prices proves that the recent surge was primarily on account of hoarding and speculation. The ministry said that a nationwide drive for physical verification of sugar stocks at mills was carried out, which reaffirmed the comfortable availability position. In several cases, sugar mills were found to be holding stocks higher than those declared in their monthly returns submitted to the Government, the statement said. The ministry asserted that there is no shortage of sugar in the country and there is no justification for panic buying or excessive stocking. In some cases, sugar mills were also found to be resorting to short selling, which means selling less sugar than the quantity allocated to them under the monthly quota. Such practices tend to unnecessarily constrain market supplies despite adequate physical stocks. In the next 2026-27 marketing year starting October, the ministry said that the sugarcane crushing for the new season will commence from 15th October. More than 10 lakh tonnes of sugar will be produced during the month. Mills have been permitted to sell sugar produced during October without any restriction. This will ensure that new-season production becomes available in the domestic market at the earliest. Sugar production is expected to be around 45 lakh tonnes in November, providing substantial additional supplies for domestic consumption, the statement said. The government said it would take all necessary measures to ensure supply at reasonable prices across the country, particularly during the forthcoming festive season. According to industry body ISMA, India's net sugar production (after diversion to ethanol) is estimated at around 279 lakh tonnes in the 2025-26 marketing year (October-September), while the opening stock was 50 lakh tonnes. The annual domestic demand is projected at 280-285 lakh tonnes, while the country exported 8 lakh tonnes of the sweetener before the government imposed a ban. ISMA has projected the closing stock at 35 lakh tonnes at the end of September. The association noted that 30 lakh tonnes of sugar is estimated to be diverted in the current marketing year from the gross sugar output of 309 lakh tonnes. ISMA initially estimated that the country's gross sugar output would be 345 lakh tonnes for the 2025-26 marketing year, but later revised downwards as the sugarcane crop was affected by bad weather and pests.

New Delhi, Aug 28: A government-constituted task force on Friday invited suggestions on reforms in public examination including accountability and institutional arrangements. The Centre had in July announced constitution of the High-Powered Task Force (HPTF) with Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani as chairperson, to examine and recommend comprehensive reforms related to conduct, security, design and governance of public examinations, and those conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), in a move to address students' concerns over paper leaks. The task force is examining measures for strengthening institutional systems and processes, ensuring examination integrity and security, deploying appropriate technologies, augmenting examination infrastructure, promoting accessibility and inclusion, and safeguarding student well-being, a statement issued by the Union ministry of personnel said. The objective is to develop a robust, secure, transparent, equitable and future-ready public examination system, it said. As part of this exercise, the HPTF considers it extremely useful to benefit from the experience, knowledge and perspectives of all stakeholders, the statement said.

Besides, suggestions are also invited on measures to promote student well-being throughout the examination process, and on any other measure that may add value in the examination system, it said. Stakeholders were requested to submit their suggestions by September 13, 2026, through a website or via phone. Suggestions can also be sent via WhatsApp or email. Submissions may be made in English, Hindi and regional languages, the ministry said.

New Delhi, Aug 28: In a significant initiative to strengthen field-based learning and knowledge-sharing, the Department of Drinking Water & Sanitation (DDWS), Ministry of Jal Shakti, has urged States/UTs to encourage local colleges, universities and academic institutions to document and publish best practices emerging under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) 2.0.

Article 370 abrogation inflicted deep wound on J&K peoples emotions: Altaf Bukhari
Srinagar, Aug 28: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday said that the abrogation of article 370 inflicted a deep wound into the emotions of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that Congress and BJP are equally responsible because Congress had already hollowed this article out over the years while BJP revoked it completely. He made these remarks today while addressing a public convention in Tral today. The event, organised by the party, attracted a large gathering of local people, besides party workers from across the town. Apni Party leader further said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir had a deep emotional attachment to Article 370, despite the fact that its provisions had already hollowed out and eroded over the decades. Article 370 provided constitutional protection to our land and jobs, and that is why, following its abrogation along with Article 35A on August 5, 2019, the Apni Party pursued the matter with the Centre and ensured that the people of J&K must retain exclusive rights over land and employment in J&K. We succeeded in convincing the Centre and protected these rights, resulting in the introduction of the domicile law, he said. However, Bukhari said that there is a need for a dialogue between the Centre and the people of Jammu and Kashmir to address their issues. He said, There is an urgent need to make New Delhi understand the importance of initiating a dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the youth, to address their genuine issues and concerns. This is imperative to bridge the existing trust deficit. Since the elected government has failed to address the pressing issues being faced by the people here, we will urge the Centre to engage directly with them to ensure that these issues are addressed effectively. We hope that our frequent appeals in this regard reach the Centre and that it initiates a dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, as it had promised, he added. He also take a dig at the ruling NC and said that this party has always prioritised its power on the interests of the people in Jammu and Kashmir. He further said, NC has never fulfilled the promises it has made to the people. Its poll promises are the most recent example of this. It sought votes by promising to provide one lakh jobs soon after assuming power. It had also promised 200 units of free electricity, free gas cylinders, the regularisation of daily wagers, and much more. However, all these promises have proved to be hollow and remain unfulfilled. He urged the people to rid themselves of these traditional parties, which have always misled and deceived them with false promises and emotional slogans. He went on the say, During its election campaign, the NC had claimed that, after assuming power, it would ensure the restoration of Articles 370 and 35A. However, it has now reduced its demand to the restoration of statehood alone. This is nothing but political drama, and they have always resorted to such tactics. In his speech, Bukhari also highlighted the local pressing issues that the people in Tral are facing. He expressed grave concern over the lack of adequate facilities and infrastructure at local hospitals and schools. He said, I dont know what the local MLA, who has been given the mandate to ensure that such issues are addressed, is doing. Since he is a public representative, he must ensure that these issues are properly addressed. He should speak to the concerned Minister, and if that doesnt work, he must take the people who voted for him out in protest. This is not about anything personal; it is about the public mandate. Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said that Tral has great potential for tourism, which, if properly explored and developed, can bring economic benefits to the local people and create much-needed employment opportunities for the youth. He said the area is blessed with abundant natural resources and scenic beauty, which should be utilised effectively for sustainable development, livelihood generation, and the overall prosperity of the local population. Bukhari expressed concern over the arrests of youth and said that the Apni Party is continuously striving to ensure that random arrests are stopped and that those detained are released so that they can return to a normal life. Talking about the Sikh community, Bukhari demanded political reservation for the community to ensure that its rights are fully protected. He said that the Sikh community has always stood shoulder to shoulder with the Muslim community, even during the most challenging times of violence and bloodshed in J&K. Addressing the gathering, former Cabinet Minister and Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir said that Apni Party is a party of the masses and will always remain the voice of the people. He said this party will continue to raise genuine public issues and grievances with the concerned authorities to ensure their timely redressal. He said, We are not here today to seek your votes, as there are no elections scheduled in the near future. We are here to tell you that Apni Party is truly a peoples party and will always stand by the people, no matter what. We need your support. Join hands with Apni Party and help strengthen it. Together, we can ensure that the rights and interests of our people are protected, while working collectively for sustained peace, prosperity, and development in Jammu and Kashmir. He further said, The difference between Apni Party and the traditional political parties is that Apni Party focuses on genuine public issues and works to address the concerns of the people, while traditional parties continue to mislead and befool the public with false promises and emotional slogans. Apni Party is here to prevent exploitative political forces from misleading our youth and pushing them towards a path of jails and graveyards. We envision a peaceful, prosperous, and dignified future for our youthone where they have opportunities to grow, succeed, and contribute positively to the future of Jammu and Kashmir, he added. On this occasion, NC worker Karan Singh, PDP worker Mohammad Amin, Social Activist Muzafar Bhat, Mohammad Younis Dar from congress joined Apni Party. The party leaders greeted these new entrants into the party fold. Besides Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari and Ghulam Hassan Mir, the prominent party leaders who were present on the occasion included partys Chief Spokesperson & State Secretary Muntazir Mohiudin, District President Kupwara Raja Manzoor, State organisation & Spokesperson Dr Harbaksh Singh, District President Budgam Advocate Owais Ashraf Shah, District Vice President Pulwama Sofi Akbar, District Vice President Pulwama Abdul Qayoom Mir, Secretary Pulwama District Syeed Tajala Andrabi, Youth President District Pulwama Junaid Mir, Abdul Rahman Gojir, Ghulam Hassan Goursi, Ghulam Hassan Choupan, Abdul Majid, Rashid Gojir, Youth Leaders Huq Nawaz, Zahid Bhat, Sajad Naikoo, Bita, Imtiyaz Mulvi, Irfan, Junaid, Javeed,Amir Reshi, Asif, Nirmal Singh, Abdul Rashid, Lucky Singh, Mohammad Shafi, Gul Dar, Shabir Baba, Yusuf Gojir, Mushtaq , Nund Kak, Bashir Ahamed , Jangi Singh, and others.
