Temperatures drop in Delhi-NCR after late-night rainfall; AQI stands at 181

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) Delhi-NCR witnessed a noticeable change in weather on Sunday as rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, swept across several areas, bringing cooler conditions to the national capital and neighbouring cities. Late on Saturday night, rainfall was reported in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad. The overnight spell brought much-needed relief from the relatively warm weather conditions prevailing over the past few days, as temperatures dipped and cool winds swept across the region. The rainfall has also raised hopes of some respite from pollution, which had kept Delhi's air quality in the poor category earlier in the week. Delhi recorded a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius at the Safdarjung weather station early on Sunday. According to the weather dashboard, humidity stood at 98 per cent, wind speed was recorded at 0 kmph, and misty conditions prevailed at around 5:30 a.m. The India Meteorological Department's forecast indicated that the maximum temperature is likely to remain between 31 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is expected to range from 16 degrees Celsius to 18 degrees Celsius. Mainly clear skies are forecast during the day, although surface winds are likely to gain strength in the afternoon. The overnight rainfall and gusty winds marked a shift in weather conditions across Delhi-NCR following several days of comparatively warmer weather. The change brought cooler conditions to the region and raised expectations of some relief from the lingering pollution. Delhi's air quality index (AQI) stood at 181 on the dashboard at around 5 a.m. on Sunday, placing it in the moderate category. The reading came after an AQI of 191 was recorded on Saturday morning, indicating an improvement from the 230 registered on Friday. However, pollution levels continued to vary across different parts of the national capital, with several monitoring stations still reporting readings in the poor category, according to the data visible on the shared dashboard.

Adani Total Gas Ltd, a city gas distributor supplying CNG and piped natural gas across cities in states, including Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, has raised Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) prices by Rs 4.45 per kg, citing higher procurement costs driven by surging international Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) prices, reduced domestic gas availability and upstream supply curtailments.

End strike, return to duty: Haryana Minister appeals to power employees, says govt ready for discussions

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 23 (IANS) Haryana Energy Minister Anil Vij on Friday appealed to striking electricity department employees to end their protest and return to duty, saying the government was ready to discuss all possible options, including action under Section 108 of the Electricity Act, 2003. In a post on X, Vij urged the employees to resume work amid widespread power outages affecting Gurugram, Faridabad and Nuh, where residents and businesses have been grappling with disruptions since Wednesday night. Appeal to the employees of Haryana who have gone on strike: End the strike and return to duty. We are ready to hold discussions on all options. This includes taking action under Section 108 of the Electricity Act 2003, he said. The ministers appeal comes as the ongoing strike by employees of the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) has disrupted electricity supply across several areas, affecting daily life, commercial establishments and industrial operations. The employees are protesting against the Haryana governments decision to privatise the power distribution system in Gurugram and Nuh. The agitation has intensified concerns over electricity supply and the impact of the proposed changes on the states power distribution network. Everyday life and industrial operations in Gurugram, Faridabad and Nuh have been severely affected by the power outages following the strike. According to local residents, all three districts began experiencing widespread blackouts from around 10 p.m. on Wednesday. The prolonged outages have triggered anger among residents, with people taking to the streets to protest against the disruption. In several areas, demonstrations have also affected vehicular movement, leading to traffic congestion. According to residents, they had repeatedly attempted to contact the electricity department officials to seek the restoration of power, but their calls went unanswered. The lack of response prompted them to take their protest to the streets. The protesting villagers said they would not vacate the road until the electricity supply was restored, adding to the pressure on authorities to resolve the disruption. Vijs appeal for employees to return to duty and the governments willingness to discuss the available options come amid growing pressure to restore normal electricity supply across the affected districts.

IMD issues orange alert as heavy rain lashes parts of Delhi-NCR; more showers likely on Friday

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) Heavy rain and thunderstorms swept parts of Delhi-NCR on Thursday as dark clouds covered the national Capital, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue an orange alert warning of further showers, lightning and gusty winds. The weather department has forecast thunderstorms and rain in Delhi on Friday, October 16, indicating that the wet spell may continue for another day. The IMD had warned of moderate to intense rainfall in parts of north and northwest Delhi, accompanied by winds reaching speeds of 40-50 kmph and gusts of up to 60 kmph. Other parts of the capital are also likely to receive lighter showers and thunderstorms. The orange alert came amid a sudden change in weather conditions, bringing relief from the recent spell of warm days. The IMD forecast cloudy skies and moderate rainfall throughout the day. The maximum temperature is expected to remain around 29 degrees Celsius, lower than the levels recorded earlier this week. The rainfall is associated with a western disturbance, a weather system that moves eastwards from regions west of India and can trigger rain and thunderstorms across northern parts of the country. Further showers could affect Delhi and neighbouring areas, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad. However, the intensity and distribution of rainfall may vary across the region. According to the IMD's forecast, weather conditions are likely to become drier from Saturday, October 17. Delhi is expected to witness partly cloudy skies, with the maximum temperature rising to around 32 degrees Celsius. The weather is likely to turn mainly clear on Sunday, October 18, with daytime temperatures expected to increase further. Meanwhile, rain, lightning and gusty winds could disrupt traffic and outdoor activities, particularly in areas receiving heavier showers. Waterlogging on roads may also slow down commuters during peak hours. The rainfall could temporarily wash some dust out of the air. However, any improvement in Delhi's air quality will depend on the intensity of the showers and subsequent wind conditions.

CM Sharma orders probe into Bhedana's death; Beniwal demands removal of IG, SP

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 13 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has directed the Director General of Police (DGP) to ensure a fair and thorough investigation into the death of former BJP MLA Attar Singh Bhedana. Bhedana was allegedly lynched to death by a mob in the Bharatpur district on Monday following a dispute over the resumption of a crusher plant. Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) president and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal has demanded the immediate removal of the Bharatpur Range Inspector General (IG) and the district Superintendent of Police (SP). The developments come amid mounting demands for accountability following the alleged murder of the former Bayana MLA in Bharatpur district. Chief Minister Sharma spoke to the DGP on Monday to obtain details of the case and review the situation. According to sources, he also discussed the matter with Minister of State for Home Affairs Jawahar Singh Bedham and directed him to monitor developments closely. The Chief Minister has stressed the need for a fair and comprehensive investigation to establish the facts and ensure appropriate action. Beniwal has raised concerns over the state's law-and-order situation and the functioning of the police administration in connection with Bhadana's death. The RLP chief demanded the immediate removal of the Bharatpur Range IG and the district SP, arguing that an impartial investigation was essential. Beniwal also referred to allegations by local residents that Bhedana was assaulted following alleged instigation by Minister of State for Home Affairs Jawahar Singh Bedham. These allegations require investigation and have not been established as facts. Meanwhile, heavy police deployment continues in Bhonda village, where an atmosphere of tension and silence has reportedly prevailed following the incident. A medical board conducted a post-mortem examination at the mortuary of Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in Jaipur on Monday. Following the examination, the family took Bhadana's body to Pali village in Haryana's Faridabad district. The family has demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the incident. Bhedana's wife, Kamlesh Bhadana, has filed a murder complaint against approximately 80 people, naming several alleged assailants. According to her complaint, she attempted to protect her husband during the attack but was pushed aside and assaulted. She also sustained injuries in the incident. The complaint further refers to an earlier incident on September 25, when a group allegedly entered the stone crusher unit, assaulted employees, vandalised the facility and fled. A complaint regarding that incident was lodged at Weir police station on September 27. The allegations and the circumstances surrounding Bhedana's death are expected to be examined as part of the investigation. Attar Singh Bhedana is survived by a son and four daughters. His youngest daughter, Kiran Bhedana, is an IAS officer from the 2017 batch. His son, Arjun Singh Bhedana, practises law at the Supreme Court. His death has triggered widespread grief in political circles and across the Bharatpur region, with condolences pouring in from administrative and legal circles as well.

Pak terror handlers revive old playbook, target cash-strapped recruits

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) The busting of the Faridabad terror module, which allegedly carried out the car bomb blast near Delhis Red Fort in November last year, exposed how white-collar professionals were operating dangerous terror cells in India. It also indicated growing interest among similar youth in establishing terror cells and engaging in anti-national activities. These terror cells have emerged independently, with minimal interference from outfits such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Such modules draw inspiration from the ideology of these terror groups but maintain limited contact with operatives based in Pakistan during their formation and subsequent operations. An official said the pattern of picking educated and well-to-do youth was part of a changed strategy. Such persons are more lethal, require very little guidance and are capable of planning and executing high-value attacks while also raising funds on their own, the official said. While such modules are likely to continue emerging, agencies have noticed a significant change in their recruitment patterns. Over the past six to eight months, there has been a shift in the profile of those being recruited. Greater emphasis is now being placed on daily wage workers, less educated persons and those in financial distress. These recruits are not driven by ideology but are willing to work for small sums ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000, the official said. These are the persons who are being picked up by the likes of Shahzad Bhatti to run surveillance rackets, drug smuggling and short-time hits. Take the case of Maqsood Ali, a 21-year-old daily wager arrested in Coimbatore, in Tamil Nadu. He was picked up to run a surveillance racket and also recruit more persons into this network. He had managed to recruit persons from Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Another official said none of these persons were highly educated, and neither were they high profile. Most of them bit the bait for the sake of money. Even in the recent arrests made across the country by the various state police units, the recruits were all in for the money and were not driven by ideology, the official added. Counter-terror analysts say that such recruits are not as lethal as the high-profile white-collar terrorists. They need to be hand-held, and their operations may not be top-notch or high-profile. However, they can create a lot of damage to the security apparatus of the country. Such recruits, especially the daily wagers, do not come under scrutiny. They come across as any other person going about his work. The recruit uses this profile to enter crowded areas such as railway stations or bus stands and install CCTV cameras that provide a live feed to handlers based out of Pakistan. Even the people who see them do not suspect them as they look like genuine individuals who have been called in to either repair or install a camera, the official said. The Pakistan-based networks appear to be going back to the old style of recruitment when it comes to such operations. Several years back, the terror handlers would exploit the financial condition of a youth and then rope him in. In those days, these persons were assigned to collect material to prepare bombs, and once the same was ready, they would plant them at the specified location. Several bomb blasts took place in many parts of the country as the execution of the task never came under the eye, and none raised any suspicion about them. Officials say that this indicates that the Pakistan-based networks are not only focusing on self-radicalised modules comprising white-collar recruits. They are going back to the old style of recruitment where economic status is the tool to recruit and get the job done, an official said.

Youth in Haryana grappling with drug menace, says Bhupinder Hooda

Digital Desk | Rohtak, Sep 28 (IANS) Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda on Monday said the youth in the state are grappling with the menace of drugs, firearms, and forced migration due to policies of the BJP government. This is because the government has pushed Haryana to the number one spot in unemployment. Frustrated by joblessness, young people are increasingly falling prey to the clutches of drug abuse and crime. Those who manage to escape this quagmire are forced to leave the state or the country in search of employment, said the Leader of Opposition. Hooda visited Pakasma, Kasrenti, Morkheri, Atayal, Dhatod, and Ghizhi villages and received a rousing welcome from villagers. Speaking on the occasion, Hooda said, I am visiting all the villages in the constituency to seek guidance from the people regarding my future political course. If the people of my constituency tell me to sit back and relax at home, I will do so; but if they instruct me to launch a new struggle against the BJP, I will fight with full vigour, he said. Raising their hands in unison, the villagers urged Hooda to launch a new battle, assuring him that the entire constituency stood firmly behind him. Hooda expressed gratitude to everyone for this support. He remarked that the public has repeatedly tested the BJP, and every section of society has become disillusioned with this government. Everyone wants an end to a government formed through vote theft and collusion with the Election Commission. From Palwal to Panchkula and Faridabad to Fatehabad, the BJP has not a single achievement to showcase across Haryana, the former Chief Minister said. In contrast, the Congress government executed countless works and established projects that continue to serve the people to this day during its tenure from 2005 to 2014, he said. Detailing achievements of the Congress government, Hooda stated that during their tenure, several institutions were established: the National Institute of Fashion Technology in Panchkula; the National Institute of Design in Kurukshetra; Kalpana Chawla Medical College in Karnal; and in Sonipat, the Bhagat Phool Singh University for Women, a medical college, an IIT extension center, IIIT, the National Institute of Food Technology, Rajiv Gandhi Education City, National Law University, and CR University of Science and Technology. In Rohtak, the Indian Institute of Management, the University of Visual and Performing Arts, the Footwear Design and Development Institute, and the Institute of Hotel Management were set up. In Jhajjar, he said, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and the National Cancer Institute were established.

Delhi-NCR to remain dry as IMD forecasts clear skies; mercury to touch 34 degree Celsius

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 22 (IANS) The national Capital is likely to witness clear skies and relatively pleasant weather on Tuesday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a minimum temperature of around 24 degree Celsius and a maximum of nearly 34 degree Celsius. According to the weather agency, Delhi is expected to remain largely dry throughout the day, marking a change from the cloudy conditions and occasional showers witnessed recently. The forecast of clearer skies could provide some relief from the persistent humidity experienced across the city over the past few weeks. The relative humidity is likely to remain around 60 per cent, while weather conditions are expected to be generally comfortable for residents. However, temperatures are likely to rise during the afternoon before easing later in the day. Among the weather stations in the national Capital, Palam is likely to record a minimum temperature of around 23 degree Celsius. Lodi Road and Ayanagar may register minimum temperatures of 24.3 degree Celsius and 24.2 degree Celsius, respectively. The Ridge could witness a comparatively cooler morning, with the minimum temperature expected to settle at around 22.5 degree Celsius. While Delhi-NCR is likely to remain dry on Tuesday, several other parts of the country are expected to experience rainfall and thunderstorms in the coming days due to a weather system developing over the Bay of Bengal. Odisha is likely to witness some of the most intense weather activity as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal becomes more organised. The system is expected to move towards the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast and reach the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal near the coast around the morning of September 23. The IMD has issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall exceeding 20 cm in Kandhamal, Gajapati, Ganjam and Puri on September 23. A similar red alert has been issued for Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Rayagada for September 24. Rainfall is expected to remain active across Odisha until September 27, with different districts placed under red, orange and yellow alerts depending on the anticipated intensity of rainfall. Kerala is also likely to experience wet conditions during the week. Light to moderate rainfall has been forecast in several areas between September 21 and 25, while isolated heavy showers are possible in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur. The IMD has advised residents in areas vulnerable to waterlogging and landslides to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities. Weather activity is also expected to increase across parts of the Northeast and eastern India. Assam and Meghalaya may experience thunderstorms and lightning on September 22, followed by heavy rainfall between September 23 and 25. Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim could witness thunderstorms, lightning and squally conditions on September 22. Heavy rainfall is likely in these areas on September 23 and 24, while very heavy showers are possible on September 25. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to see increased rainfall activity from September 24, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions. Similar weather is likely to develop over West Uttar Pradesh from September 25. In contrast, Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, is unlikely to receive significant rainfall on Tuesday. The region is expected to remain predominantly dry as the southwest monsoon continues to withdraw from northwest India. However, weather conditions could become more active towards the end of the week, with the IMD forecasting thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi between September 25 and 27. The developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to remain the primary factor influencing rainfall and thunderstorm activity across several parts of the country in the coming days.

Red Fort car blast: AQAPs India footprint raises alarm as terror manuals fuel radicalisation, bomb know-how

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) detailed the planning and execution of the Red Fort car blast plot in November last year in a 7,500-page charge sheet filed before a special court, exposing a self-radicalisation module operating out of Faridabad. One key finding of the NIA was a book used by the members of the Faridabad module, which eventually led to their radicalisation. The book titled 'Lone Mujahid Pocket Book/How to Become an Assassin' was found among the members of the module. This book is written by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). An Intelligence Bureau official said that this signals a marked shift in how the newer modules in India are operating. Outfits such as the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda have shifted a large part of their operations to the Arab nations. Most of the handlers that deal with the Indian recruits are from the Arab or African nations, the official said. Further, these outfits, which have largely been beaten down in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria, have shifted their bases to the Arab and African nations. An official said that AQAP remains the most dangerous outfit among the various Al Qaeda units. Al-Qaeda has separate groups operating in various regions such as Afghanistan, the Arabian and the African nations. The official said that the cropping up of a manual prepared by the AQAP is a worrying trend. Another official said that the AQAP does not operate on the ground in India. Al-Qaeda had formed Al-Qaeda in the Sub-Continent (AQIS) for operations in India. The AQAP, however, maintains tactical, ideological, and organisational connections to India. It seeks to connect with the Indian diaspora who live in the Arabian nations. Currently, it has been looking for youth within India and using them to carry out terror acts, the official said. The officials point out that a lot of propaganda material is being pushed into India by AQAP as compared to AQIS. This could be to do with the fact that there is more scrutiny when it comes to AQIS compared with AQAP, the official said. The AQAP also has an English digital magazine called Inspire. Through this magazine, it seeks to radicalise the youth of India. This magazine and the Lone Mujahid Pocket Book/How to Become an Assassin have become major weapons for AQAP to track Indian youth for radicalisation. Counter-terrorism experts say the issue extends beyond radicalisation. These publications also provide detailed instructions on bomb-making techniques. The Faridabad module was planning an attack on a very large scale. The NIA probe revealed the sophistication with which the module was operating, and had the plot been successfully executed, the resulting casualties and destruction could have been on an unprecedented and catastrophic scale. AQAP publications offer in-depth information on how to prepare Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), which is also called the Mother of Satan. The NIA said that these publications offered operational information related to explosives, weapons, arson, vehicles, and covert activities. In fact, there are several chapters related only to TATP and remote-controlled mechanisms for detonating IEDs. Officials say that AQAP is an outfit that the agencies would keep a close tab on. The Faridabad module investigation has clearly revealed the impact this outfit has on India's youth. AQAP has previously issued statements that directly target India. Voice and video messages too have been put out accusing India of waging a war against Muslims. It has repeatedly called on the Indian youth to join Al-Qaeda. AQAP is looking to leverage localised communal issues within India to fuel its recruitment narratives. The primary aim is to destabilise India and instigate radicalisation among the Indian youth, an official said.

The discussion covered several important areas, including women's safety, One Stop Centres, the use of Artificial Intelligence and technology, governance and public service delivery, along with challenges faced by women at the grassroots level. The interactive format enabled the legislators to openly share their concerns, experiences and suggestions, while also discussing possible solutions and best practices. The two-day She Is a Change Maker programme concluded with a renewed emphasis on strengthening women's leadership, enhancing their capacity to contribute to policy-making and governance, and creating a sustained network of women legislators committed to responsive and inclusive development.

In our contemplation there is woman, in our tradition there is woman, in our culture there is woman, and in our social consciousness too there is woman. Woman is not merely the axis of the family for us, she is the power of society; she is also the embodiment of tenderness, and the idol of courage and resolve, she added. Earlier, a session on Gender Responsive Governance: Gender Budgeting for Women's Empowerment focused on integrating a gender perspective into policymaking, planning and allocation of public resources. Neelam Gorhe, Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council, led the session, the statement said.

Observing that the growing presence of women across various public services and professions, Om Birla said that the coming years would witness a new generation of women leaders emerging across political, administrative, and social spheres. He added that the day is not far when women will account for more than 50 per cent of public services. The Lok Sabha Speaker said that the focus must now shift from merely providing support and opportunities to women towards enabling them to actively shape policies, programmes, and laws. Om Birla stressed that women should themselves participate in determining the legislation required to address their concerns and aspirations. Referring to the constitutional commitment to equality and various legislative measures undertaken for women's safety, empowerment, and self-reliance, the Lok Sabha Speaker highlighted that institutions such as the NCW have an important role in identifying emerging challenges and facilitating solutions. He emphasised that women legislators -- through the Lok Sabha, State Legislative Assemblies, Panchayats, and Municipalities -- can play a decisive role in bringing women's concerns before appropriate fora and ensuring that laws respond to ground-level realities.
