NC hits out at opposition, highlights Omar govts flood response

Srinagar, July 25: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) Provincial President Kashmir Showkat Ahmad Mir on Saturday accused opposition parties of indulging in political gimmickry and said the Omar Abdullah-led government was focused on governance, development and addressing public concerns. In a statement issued from the party headquarters at Nawa-e-Subha, Mir alleged that the PDP, Apni Party and Peoples Conference were raising issues unrelated to the aspirations and day-to-day problems of the people. He said the NC government was working on multiple fronts, including strengthening civic infrastructure and pursuing the constitutional demand for restoration of statehood. Mir said Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had taken the issue of statehood to New Delhi through a peaceful and constitutional battle, while the government continued development and public welfare initiatives in Jammu and Kashmir. Referring to the recent flash floods, landslides and heavy rains, Mir said the natural calamity had tested the administration but the government responded with resolve and compassion. He said the Chief Minister and his cabinet members were personally monitoring rescue, relief and rehabilitation efforts, adding that ministers had visited affected areas despite difficult conditions. Mir also mentioned that MP Mian Altaf Ahmad and Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary had a narrow escape while visiting flood-hit areas, saying it reflected the governments commitment to stand with affected people. He said restoration work was being expedited and urged opposition parties to rise above political differences and contribute constructively during the crisis instead of spreading propaganda and misinformation.

CJP withdraws protest in good faith after Pradhan's resignation, says govt agreed to all demands

New Delhi, July 25: Cockroach Janata Party on Saturday announced that it has withdrawn the 37-day-long agitation at Jantar Mantar in good faith after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stepped down from the Council of Ministers and the outfit received assurance on other demands from the government. Addressing a press conference at the Constitution Club in the national capital, CJP's Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das said, Cockroach Janta Party declares that we withdraw the agitation in good faith, with the understanding that the agreed-upon terms will be executed within the agreed-upon timelines. Following the third round of talks with Union Ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh at the Constitution Club, the CJP said that the Central government has agreed to provide suitable compensation to the families of the NEET aspirants who died by suicide and assured to withdraw the FIRs lodged against protesters anywhere in India. The CJP has presented a five-point demand charter before the government and will hold the next round of talks after four weeks. Spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said, We had demanded compensation of Rs 1 crore for the families of NEET victims. The government has agreed to this, stating that an honorary compensation will be given to those families under whatever rules and regulations allow. Apart from this, we also placed a five-point demand charter before the government, which talked about broader educational reforms and exam reforms. We will meet the government again in about four weeks regarding that demand charter so that we can work together on broader reforms. If all these demands are agreeable to the government, then we would also like to withdraw the agitation. All our demands have been accepted, so we request the protesters to withdraw immediately and return home peacefully. We will inform you of our future strategy or any other issues. But we request the protesters to withdraw immediately, he added. Several FIRs have been filed against protesters across India after the July 20 'Chalo Sansad' march at Jantar Mantar. The CJP had demanded a withdrawal of the FIRs and no legal action in the future. Das said that the government has agreed to the demand. Saurav Das said, Our second demand was that all the FIRs filed against the protesters, not just in Delhi but in all BJP-ruled and BJP-allied states, should be withdrawn. This was also our second demand. The government has accepted that demand as well. Furthermore, the withdrawal will be done shortly. The government has assured us that it will share copies of all the FIRs filed - as per our last information, 15 to 20 FIRs were filed in Delhi - and we will receive those copies within three to four days in any case. The government has also assured that the withdrawal will be done shortly. Understanding this, we have shared a draft with the government, which is a written guarantee. The government has said it will share this with us by Tuesday. We hope that by Tuesday we will receive the government's guarantees regarding these FIRs and any future action, he added. Earlier today, Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and stated that he was stepping down in the larger interest of students to ensure that the country's youth do not become rapped in a web of confusion. The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), beginning as a satirical social media account from CJI Surya Kant's remarks, led the movement along with activist Sonam Wangchuk at Jantar Mantar in the national capital, demanding Pradhan's resignation.

JP Nadda, Jitendra Singh hold third round of talks with CJP delegation after Dharmendra Pradhans resignation

New Delhi, July 25: A delegation of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Saturday met with Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh at the Constitution Club of India for their third round of talks, as the government continued its engagement with the protesting group following the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG paper leak. Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh arrived at the Constitution Club to hold discussions with the CJP delegation. Earlier in the day, both ministers were seen leaving their respective residences for the scheduled meeting. The third round of negotiations assumes significance as it comes hours after Pradhan stepped down from the Union Cabinet, citing the larger interests of students and the nation. In his resignation letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pradhan said he had resigned to ensure that the ongoing protests over examination irregularities were not exploited by anti-national forces. The situation that has emerged at Jantar Mantar and elsewhere in the country should not be exploited by anti-national forces. The unity of the country must remain intact. The future of every student in India should not get entangled in legal complications, Pradhan wrote. His resignation followed weeks of nationwide protests over examination irregularities and a 26-day hunger strike led by activist Sonam Wangchuk at Jantar Mantar. The agitation has been spearheaded by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which has been demanding accountability over examination paper leaks. Despite welcoming the minister's resignation, the CJP has maintained that its protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until all of its demands are fulfilled. Addressing supporters after the resignation, CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke said, Kaha jaata tha iss sarkar main istife nahi hote. Jhukti hai duniya, jhukaane vaala chahiye. We have done it, describing the resignation as the first by a Union Minister under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Visuals from the protest site showed demonstrators celebrating and raising slogans after the announcement. Dipke said the organisation's remaining demands include compensation of Rs 1 crore for the families of students who died by suicide over examination-related issues, assurance that no action will be taken against student protesters, and action against Delhi Police personnel accused of using force against demonstrators. Activist Sonam Wangchuk also welcomed Pradhan's resignation, calling it a victory of democracy, peace, and perseverance. In a post on X, Wangchuk wrote, IT'S A VICTORY OF DEMOCRACY. direct democracy... straight from the streets. It's a victory of peace, patience & perseverance. Congratulations CJP, Gen Z of the nation and thank you all citizens for shedding fear and the fear of fear and rising up from every corner of the nation. FROM ACCOUNTABILITY, NOW TO REFORMS. Pradhan, in his resignation letter, defended the Centre's handling of the NEET-UG controversy, saying that after irregularities surfaced in the May 3 examination, the government transferred the investigation to the CBI, cancelled the examination and conducted a re-test for more than two million candidates on June 21. He also announced that the NEET-UG examination would be conducted entirely in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode from next year to enhance transparency and strengthen the integrity of the examination process. Meanwhile, the Centre is preparing to introduce a stringent anti-paper leak law providing for Special Fast-Track Courts, a Special Task Force (STF) and other measures aimed at preventing examination malpractices across the country.

Victory of democracy: Sonam Wangchuk on Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation

New Delhi, July 25: Following weeks of relentless nationwide protests and a gruelling 26-day hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The move came as a response to growing unrest over examination irregularities and paper leak allegations, particularly surrounding the NEET-UG exams. Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who spearheaded the hunger strike alongside the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and student groups, marked the development as a major milestone for direct civic action in India. Reacting to the news on X, Sonam Wangchuk commended the resilience of the nation's youth and citizens. IT'S A VICTORY OF DEMOCRACY. direct democracy... straight from the streets. It's a victory of peace, patience & perseverance. Congratulations CJP, Gen Z of the nation and thank you all citizens for shedding fear and the fear of fear and rising up from every corner of the nation. FROM ACCOUNTABILITY, NOW TO REFORMS, posted Wangchuk. Wangchuk emphasised that while holding the government accountable was necessary, the ultimate goal must now pivot toward systemic reforms within India's education structure. His remarks came after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, stating that he had submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure that the situation arising from protests over examination irregularities was not exploited by anti-national forces. Welcoming the minister's resignation, the CJP said it would nevertheless continue its agitation at Jantar Mantar until all of its demands were fulfilled. Addressing supporters, CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke said, Kaha jaata tha iss sarkar main istife nahi hote. Jhukti hai duniya, jhukaane vaala chahiye. We have done it, describing the resignation as the first by a Union Minister under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Visuals from the protest site showed demonstrators cheering and celebrating after news of Pradhan's resignation emerged. Dipke said the movement would continue until the remaining demands were addressed, including compensation of Rs 1 crore for the families of students who died by suicide over examination-related issues and action against Delhi Police personnel accused of carrying out a lathi charge on protesters. In a post on X, the CJP marked Pradhan's resignation as achieved but listed two demands as pending: compensation for affected families and assurance that no action would be taken against student protesters. In his resignation letter shared on X, Pradhan said he had decided in the larger interest of students and the nation. The situation that has emerged at Jantar Mantar and elsewhere in the country should not be exploited by anti-national forces. The unity of the country must remain intact. The future of every student in India should not get entangled in legal complications, he wrote. Pradhan said he had always believed in the aspirations and strength of India's youth and that the developments of the past few days had deeply saddened him Defending the government's handling of the NEET-UG controversy, Pradhan said irregularities detected in the May 3, 2026 examination prompted the Centre to immediately hand over the investigation to the CBI, cancel the examination and announce a re-test. He said the re-examination for over two million candidates was successfully conducted on June 21 with the support of state governments, district administrations, students, parents and guardians. He also announced that the NEET-UG examination would be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode from next year to strengthen transparency. Meanwhile, the Centre is preparing to introduce a stringent anti-paper leak law that will provide for Special Fast-Track Courts, a Special Task Force (STF), and other measures aimed at preventing examination malpractices across the country.

Luxury Housing Outperforms Amid Global Headwinds

Amid global economic instability that has cast a shadow over several asset classes, Indias luxury housing sector is one to watch. Luxury residences continue to attract the interest of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and are gaining an increasing share of residential sales. Rising earnings, business success, a growing pool of high-net-worth individuals and unabated interest from Non-Resident Indians have resulted in a persistent demand for upmarket homes. Luxury housing continues to gain momentum as buyers prioritise premium living, quality, and long-term value across key Indian markets A report for H1 FY 2026 by Anarock revealed that luxury and premium homes accounted for nearly 42% of new home supply in key cities and represented about Rs. 2.98 lakh crore of residential sales value, growing 7% year-on-year, while housing sales volume remained largely stable. The data indicate that buyers are choosing more upscale homes, alongside the luxury segments increased market share. Uddhav Poddar, CMD, Bhumika Group said, Despite global economic uncertainties, the luxury housing segment has continued to demonstrate resilience, driven by discerning buyers who are prioritising quality, trust and long-term value over short-term market fluctuations. Todays luxury homebuyers evaluate not only the residence but the overall living experience, including thoughtful design, wellness, connectivity and the credibility of the developer. As aspirations continue to evolve and purchasing decisions become more value-driven, we believe demand for well-planned premium developments will remain strong over the long term . The residential environment is now more appealing for end-users and investors alike, with transparency driven by RERA and quality developments delivered by reputable developers. Among the major cities, Mumbai remains the most expensive residential market in India. Luxury home prices in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have risen by around 43 per cent in the last three years, backed by limited supply and persistent demand from rich homeowners, said ANAROCK. But in terms of transaction value, Delhi-NCR has become the largest luxury home market in the country. Gurpal Singh Chawla, Managing Director, TREVOC Group, said, "The luxury residential market continues to outperform because buyers today are investing in experiences rather than just square footage. They seek homes that combine thoughtful design, timeless architecture and spaces that evolve with their lifestyle. We believe the future of luxury lies in creating residences that deliver enduring value, comfort and a meaningful living experience for generations." Gurugram witnessed sales of properties priced above Rs. 10 crore worth around Rs. 24,120 crore in 2025, beating MMRs Rs. 21,902 crore for the first time, according to data from Sothebys International Realty and CRE Matrix. The trend has continued into 2026, with Gurugram accounting for over 73 per cent of total residential releases in Delhi-NCR during the second quarter. As a major business and financial hub, supplemented with high-end retail, hospitality and social infrastructure, the city continues to attract entrepreneurs, senior executives and worldwide professionals. Mitul Jain, Managing Director, SPJ Group , said, "Luxury housing is witnessing sustained momentum as homebuyers increasingly prioritise quality, exclusivity and long-term value. Today's luxury developments are expected to offer a seamless blend of design excellence, superior amenities and strategic locations, making luxury residences a preferred choice for discerning buyers and investors alike. In Gurugram, robust infrastructure, expanding corporate presence and the emergence of well-planned luxury micro-markets have further strengthened demand for luxury residences. As a result, luxury homes have evolved beyond aspirational purchases into resilient, future-ready assets for both end-users and investors." Noida is fast turning out to be the next luxury destination in NCR. The developing metro network, motorway connectivity and the impending Noida International Airport are turning the city into an appealing destination for luxury residential complexes. Integrated townships, better value propositions and modern infrastructure are luring end users and investors. Salil Kumar, Director, Marketing & Business Management, CRC Group, said, Noidas luxury housing segment has transformed considerably due to the transformative infrastructure developments and the increasing preference for elevated living experiences. Expectations are still evolving, and the luxury segment is setting the bar higher with sophisticated living experiences that are comfortable, functional, and have long-term value. For developers, luxury housing offers the advantage of higher revenue per unit, allowing for greater focus on design, build quality, and customer experience. At the same time, however, buyers are becoming more sophisticated and demanding the worldwide standards of execution, competent property management and long-term after-sales support. Saurab Saharan, Group Managing Director, HCBS Developments Ltd. , said, The definition of luxury has evolved significantly over the last few years. Buyers today are looking for homes that offer spacious layouts, wellness-driven amenities, sustainable design, and superior connectivity. In Gurugram, this shift is particularly evident as infrastructure upgrades and a thriving corporate ecosystem continue to attract discerning homebuyers and investors. As aspirations continue to rise, thoughtfully planned luxury communities are becoming the benchmark for modern urban living, supported by strong end-user demand, limited quality supply, and strong long-term investment potential. Backed by strong economic fundamentals, infrastructure development and changing aspirations of buyers, Delhi-NCR, led by Gurugram and fast catching up Noida, is well placed to remain Indias most vibrant luxury housing market. Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad continue to be the anchors of Indias premium residential growth.

Dharmendra Pradhan resigns as Union Education Minister amid student protests over NEET leaks

New Delhi, July 25: Amid massive students protests in Delhi, the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday announced his resignation, stating that the interests of Indias youth and students must remain above politics. In a detailed public letter, Pradhan said he was stepping down not because of personal prestige, but to uphold accountability and protect the future of millions of students. Pradhan expressed unwavering faith in the strength, aspirations and potential of Indias youth, describing them as the architects of a new, developed and self-reliant India. He said that while the developments of the past few days had caused him deep pain, his decision was guided by the larger national interest rather than personal considerations. Emphasising that the countrys youth are its greatest strength, Pradhan said he was determined to ensure that they do not become victims of political conflict. He appealed that anti-national forces should not be allowed to exploit the prevailing situation and stressed that students futures must not be sacrificed for political gains. The former minister thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his guidance, trust and continuous support during his tenure. He also expressed gratitude to his Cabinet colleagues, ministry officials, employees and everyone who worked alongside him, reiterating that service to the nation would remain his highest priority. Pradhan's resignations comes amid Cockroach Janta Party-led protests at the Jantar Mantar, demanding his accountability over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and irregularities in the CBSE's on-screen marking process, besides seeking wider reforms in the conduct of public examinations.
