Oil companies say E20 is safe after nationwide testing, rules out contamination
New Delhi, Aug 08: Amid recent media reports on moisture and chloride in EBMS (E20 Petrol), Oil Marketing Companies carried out a nationwide additional intensive testing covering the entire EBMS supply chain. The findings reaffirm that fuel quality remains consistently well within prescribed limits. Contrary to certain assertions being made, based on extensive random testing through scientifically designed tests, the evidence shows that there is no cause for any alarm on account of fuel contamination. OMCs would like to reassure all our esteemed customers that we treat fuel quality as a matter of highest priority and any issue that could potentially affect the vehicle performance or consumer confidence is addressed promptly through scientific investigation and corrective action. Government of India has prescribed a stringent chloride specification for ethanol used in petrol blending and has instituted a high-frequency monitoring mechanism to ensure compliance across the entire supply chain. Chloride monitoring is being done at multiple point of supply chain including refineries, distilleries, depots/terminals and retail outlets nationwide, confirming that quality is being consistently maintained throughout the supply chain. In addition to the already established quality assurance protocols, Oil Marketing Companies have further strengthened surveillance by conducting water-ingress and density tests 812 times daily at every retail outlet. Mobile fuel quality testing laboratories have also been deployed across locations, while test results are being independently validated through fuel laboratories to ensure the highest standards of quality assurance. These multipronged stepped up testing protocols across the supply chain has validated our highest fuel quality standards. MS from Refinery: Actual Chloride levels in Petrol is well within 1 ppm Over 100 additional randomly selected petrol samples tested across various refineries confirm that chloride content remains consistently low, with all samples reported at or below the 1 ppm. This reflects the continued effectiveness of quality checks built into Indias robust refining and dispatch process. Pure Ethanol ex distillery: Ethanol supplied by distilleriesthe principal blending componenthas also consistently recorded chloride levels significantly below the prescribed specification, reflecting robust quality control mechanisms at the production stage. A dedicated task force having members of OMCs & CHT has checked ethanol samples from 80 distilleries across the country in last 10 days and all samples had Chloride content less than 3 ppm. Ethanol Blended MS (E20) distributed via OMCs Marketing Infrastructure: Depots / Tank Trucks: Ethanol and E20 samples tested at depots and terminals continue to meet prescribed chloride limits, with regular monitoring at this stage ensuring that quality is maintained as fuel moves through the storage and distribution network. More than 80 samples across the nation collected from various OMC terminals showed chloride content below 3 ppm. Retail Outlets (RO): Under the intensified monitoring programme of more than 1000 samples, so far 160 test reports have been analysed for chloride content in last few days and levels are in range of 0-3 ppm contrary to the claims of several hundred ppm. The surveillance system identified only four isolated instances where elevated chloride levels were detected. These were suspended immediately, followed by detailed root-cause analysis and implementation of appropriate corrective measures before restoration of supplies. Water ingress testing: About 90,000 ROs have commenced mandatory inspection and monitoring of underground storage tanks. The underground tanks at ROs are being inspected 812 times every day and have not revealed any water ingress so far. Tabulated summary of the above tests are available on the official website of CHT @ www.cht.gov.in. This would be updated as and when more test results are available. Oil Marketing Companies wish to reassure consumers that fuel quality remains their highest priority. Quality surveillance is undertaken continuously across the supply chain, and wherever any deviation is detected, prompt and decisive corrective action is initiated. With the above, Consumers should continue to use E20 petrol with confidence, as the fuel supplied through the OMC network conforms to the prescribed quality specifications and is backed by robust quality assurance and monitoring systems designed to safeguard consumer interests at every stage of the supply chain.

From Players to Developers: Can Kashmirs Next Digital Generation Build Its Own Games?
Young people in Kashmir are already closely connected with the digital world. Smartphones, online videos, social media and mobile games have become part of everyday life for students and young adults, yet gaming is still discussed mostly as a form of entertainment. There is another side to it that deserves more attention: the possibility that some of the young people who enjoy playing games today could also learn how to develop them. Game development is no longer limited to large companies or professional studios located in major technology centres. With online courses, tutorials and easily available development tools, students can now begin learning programming, animation, 3D design, sound, interface design and other skills from home. A capable computer, regular practice and patience are enough to start experimenting with small projects, which creates an interesting opportunity for Kashmirs young generation. From interest to practical skills Game development is often associated mainly with coding, but even a simple game usually requires a combination of different skills. Programming is needed to make the game function, while artists may work on characters, backgrounds and environments. Other parts of the project can involve animation, sound, level design, menus, user interfaces and testing, which means that students with different interests can find a place within the same field. This makes game development particularly useful for young people who are still trying to understand which area of technology or digital design suits them best. A student who begins by learning programming may later discover a stronger interest in animation or 3D modelling, while someone who enjoys visual design may move towards user-interface work. Others may eventually take these skills into software development, graphic design, architecture, visualisation or other parts of the digital economy. The value of learning game development therefore does not depend entirely on becoming a professional game developer. Building a game also teaches something that is difficult to learn only through books or tutorials: how to take an idea, work through problems, make decisions and finally complete a usable project. That experience can be important for students who have theoretical knowledge but little practical work to show. Signs of interest are already visible There have already been examples of young people in Kashmir taking an interest in coding, apps and game development. In September 2025, Srinagar hosted Daydream Srinagar, a two-day game jam for students aged 13 to 18, where participants attended beginner-friendly workshops, formed teams and built their own games. The event was affiliated with Hack Club and was described by the organisers as Kashmirs largest student-led coding event of its kind. There are other signs of interest as well. TechKnow 2025 at Delhi Public School Srinagar brought together students from more than 30 schools across the Valley for workshops covering areas such as artificial intelligence, app development, programming, web development, graphic design and game development. These examples may still be limited, but they show that there is already a base of young people in Kashmir who are willing to explore technology beyond normal classroom learning. The next step is to make students more aware that such skills do not have to remain limited to competitions, workshops or school projects. A student who develops one small game can improve it, work on another project and gradually build practical experience. Over time, what begins as an experiment can become a useful skill and, for some, even the beginning of a career. Kashmir can also become a place for digital development A large part of the digital content consumed in Kashmir is created outside the region, and games are no different. Young people regularly play titles developed in other parts of India and across the world, but there is no reason why Kashmiri developers cannot become part of the same industry. A game created by someone in Kashmir does not necessarily need to be about Kashmir. A local developer may choose to create a racing game, a puzzle game, a sports game or something completely fictional for players anywhere in the world. At the same time, there is also room for original ideas inspired by the Valley itself. Kashmir has its own landscapes, winters, architecture, stories, traditions and everyday experiences, all of which could provide inspiration for developers who want to create something rooted in the region. One of the biggest advantages of digital products is that the market is not restricted to the place where the product is created. A game developed in Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla or any other part of Kashmir can be played by someone sitting thousands of kilometres away. For young people in the region, this means that location does not have to decide the size of the audience they can eventually reach. Creating a game is only one part of the journey For beginners, one of the biggest difficulties often appears after the game has been completed. A student may successfully create a small project but still have no clear idea where to publish it or how to put it in front of people beyond friends and classmates. This is where online gaming platforms can become useful. Browser games, in particular, offer a practical route for new developers because an HTML5 or WebGL game can run directly in a web browser and can be submitted to platforms that already have an audience. One such option is the browser gaming platform Y8 , which allows individual developers as well as established studios to submit their games for review. For a beginner, this is important because the developer does not need to already operate a large company or have a long record of successful games before submitting a project. If a game meets the platforms technical, quality and content requirements, it can be published and made available to real players. A project that previously existed only on a students computer can therefore become something that people from different countries are able to open and play. Published games can become a portfolio For students, the value of publishing a game may go well beyond immediate earnings. A young developer who continues to work on new projects can gradually build a public portfolio that shows not only what they have learned, but what they have actually completed. On Y8, for example, developers can create studio profiles where their published games are displayed together, allowing them to build a public game development portfolio that can later be shared while applying for internships, freelance work or jobs. A student may mention knowledge of Unity, JavaScript, 3D modelling or game design on a CV, but a playable project provides much stronger evidence of those abilities because an employer or collaborator can directly see the result of the developers work. The first game does not have to be highly polished or commercially successful. What matters is that the developer has taken an idea through the process of building, testing and publishing it. As more projects are completed, the portfolio can also show improvement over time. A second game may have better controls, another may show stronger design, while later projects may demonstrate a better understanding of players and presentation. For someone who does not yet have professional work experience, this kind of visible progress can become useful when applying for a job or trying to enter the industry. Real players bring a different kind of learning Publishing a game also gives developers access to something that classroom projects usually cannot provide: feedback from real users. Friends and classmates may support a project because they know the person who created it, but unknown players behave differently. They may leave the game if the controls are confusing, discover bugs that were missed during testing or struggle with a level that the developer believed was simple. This kind of feedback can help young developers understand how people actually use the things they build. Learning to observe users, identify problems and improve a product is valuable not only in game development but across the wider technology sector. Earnings can come later There is also a possibility of earning from successful games, as platforms such as Y8 provide monetisation opportunities for approved developers. For beginners, however, income should probably not be the first measure of success. The more important steps are learning the skills, completing a game, publishing it, reaching real players and building a portfolio that can support future opportunities. Even a modest amount earned from a self-developed project can give confidence to a young developer because it shows that a digital skill can have real value, but the larger benefit lies in the experience gained along the way. A student who learns how to complete and improve projects may later use those skills for employment, freelance work or independent development. A career does not always have to begin outside Kashmir Technology careers are often associated with moving to larger cities where major companies and studios are located. That may still be necessary for some opportunities, but digital work has reduced this dependence considerably. A student can learn in Kashmir, develop projects in Kashmir and publish them for an audience outside the region, while a strong portfolio can also be shared with companies or clients located elsewhere. Not everyone who experiments with game development will eventually work in gaming, and that should not be seen as a failure. Some may move towards software engineering, animation, design, 3D art or other technical and creative fields. The experience of building games can still help because it brings several skills together around a finished product and requires students to solve practical problems rather than only study them in theory. From players to developers Kashmir already has a generation of young people who are comfortable with digital technology. The next stage should be to encourage more of them to understand how the products they use every day are actually made and to consider creating something of their own. Game development can offer one such path because it combines technology with creativity and allows students to turn their skills into practical projects. Platforms such as Y8 can support this process by giving independent developers a place to submit games, reach real players and build a public portfolio of their work, with the possibility of monetisation as they progress. For some young people, game development may remain a hobby, while for others it may become the first step towards a professional career. What matters is that games should not be seen only as products created elsewhere for Kashmiri youth to consume. With the right skills, patience and opportunities to publish their work, some of the players of today can become the developers of tomorrow.
Lost huge political capital due to non-restoration of statehood to J-K: Omar Abdullah
New Delhi, Aug 8: Voicing deep frustration over the delay in restoration of promised statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said that the anger and disappointment over the issue in the Union territory is not only against the Modi government but he himself has lost huge political capital because of it. Abdullah said the prolonged delay in restoring statehood has led to public disappointment in J-K, which extends beyond the Centre, while acknowledging that his own political credibility has taken a severe hit because he continues to pay the price for sins that are not mine. The chief minister said that his initial strategy of building a constructive working relationship with the Union government in hopes of securing early restoration of statehood has severely eroded his political capital among the local constituents. I put a huge amount of my own political credibility at stake for this. I know for a fact that I've eroded a large part of it, Abdullah told journalist Karan Thapar in an interview for The Wire. I will pay the price for sins that are not mine, and again, I will carry that cross because it's mine to bear, he said. Criticising the Centre's undefined timeline of restoring statehood to J-K at an appropriate time, the chief minister likened the process to a moving target, saying, It's like running a marathon. Instead of completing it in 42 km, every time you reach near the finishing line, they keep shifting it. He urged the Centre to define clear parameters so his administration has a concrete goal. Abdullah also rejected an argument in certain power corridors that statehood cannot be restored until terrorism is completely eradicated, saying that his elected government exercises no control over the security apparatus functioning in the Union territory. The problem with this argument is that you're effectively punishing a government that has no role in this. Militancy does not exist in Jammu and Kashmir because there's an elected government. In fact, we have absolutely nothing to do with the anti-terror mechanism that is in place in J-K right now, he said. He argued that by saying so, you are effectively saying that when Pakistan stops sponsoring terror, you will restore statehood effectively transferring the decision from our capital to Islamabad. Highlighting administrative paralysis under the Union territory framework, Abdullah called a Union territory with an Assembly an abomination, and added that key institutions, including the JK Power Development Corporation and the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, remain under the lieutenant governor's authority. There is no worse form of government than a Union territory with an Assembly. Please, by all means, have Union territories, but don't give them assemblies, he said, noting that his Cabinet lacks the authority to select even its own administrative secretaries or appoint an advocate general. Responding to critics who argue that he has muted his stance on Article 370, Abdullah said that statehood is a legal prerequisite for any division of constitutional powers. Article 370 was basically the division of powers between the Union government and the state government. How can you have a state list when you are not a state? Statehood has to come before (Article) 370 can be restored, he said. Speaking on the Modi government's pledge, Abdullah noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had personally backed the commitment to restore statehood during his visits to the region, explicitly terming it a Modi Ka Wada rather than a routine political assurance. The prime minister put his personal credibility behind it. He said the restoration of statehood is not just any other promise, it's a 'Modi Ka Wada'. Obviously, he holds that promise to a higher standard, giving it greater weightage, Abdullah said, adding that the continued delay brings into question the Union government's accountability. Admitting that he has personally lost huge political capital by trusting the Centre's assurances and seeking a constructive working relationship, Abdullah said that the sense of disappointment in Jammu and Kashmir is palpable and urged the Modi government to stand by its commitments made to Parliament, the judiciary, and the people of the region. Abdullah also said that his government would continue to raise the demand for restoration of statehood through political dialogue, street protests, and demonstrations in the national capital.
