UP CM Yogi releases Rs 493 Crore subsidy to over 9 Lakh farmers hit by crop damage
Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Oct 12 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday released Rs 493 crore in agricultural input subsidy through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to over nine lakh farmers affected by crop damage caused by floods, excessive rainfall, hailstorms and cyclones. Addressing a gathering in Gorakhpur, the Chief Minister said the amount was transferred directly into the bank accounts of 9,18,091 farmers based on digital crop survey reports received from various districts. Based on the digital crop survey reports received from the districts, we have today released around Rs 500 crore, or Rs 493 crore, directly into the bank accounts of our farmer beneficiaries, he said. Adityanath said the digital survey system and DBT mechanism under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership had ensured that financial assistance reached the intended beneficiaries without intermediaries. Now, PM Modi has proved that if the survey is conducted digitally, the money will also be transferred through DBT directly into the accounts of farmer beneficiaries, he said. Taking a swipe at the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, the Chief Minister alleged that middlemen previously siphoned off funds meant for farmers and other beneficiaries. Remember, there was a time when the Congress government would send Rs 100, but beneficiaries would receive only Rs 15. Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had acknowledged that only Rs 15 out of every Rs 100 reached the intended beneficiaries, he said. CM Yogi asserted that under the present government, beneficiaries received the full amount sanctioned to them. He said the Rs 493 crore assistance was intended to provide immediate relief to farmers and help them cope with agricultural losses. The Chief Minister said excessive rainfall, hailstorms, cyclones and floods over the past week caused extensive crop damage across the state and resulted in the loss of human and animal lives. He added that the state government had also alerted the administration to ensure safety in flood-affected areas and allocated funds to address difficulties faced by people in travelling and accessing essential services. The double-engine government is providing compensation to farmers for crop, house and livestock losses through the Disaster Relief Fund within just eight to 10 days, he said. Adityanath further said that during the current monsoon season, the government had allocated Rs 1,000 crore for farmers and other affected residents. He said families whose houses had been damaged or destroyed by floods and cyclones were being provided assistance of Rs 1.20 lakh under the Awas Yojana, adding that this amount was separate from the Rs 493 crore agricultural subsidy. The Chief Minister also said that families affected by fatalities caused by such disasters were being provided compensation of Rs 4 lakh within 24 hours. He added that instructions had been issued to provide houses under the Awas Yojana to families whose homes had been destroyed in floods or cyclones.

Three-year-old Bihar tigress airlifted to Bengal, release in Buxa on Oct 2
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 30 (IANS) A three-year-old tigress from Bihars Valmiki Tiger Reserve was airlifted to Hasimara Air Force Station in north Bengal on Wednesday morning as part of an ambitious effort to restore the tiger population in Buxa Tiger Reserve in the state. The tigress, captured after a week-long search operation, was flown from Gorakhpur airport in a specially designed cage with full medical support. An Indian Air Force helicopter carried the animal to Hasimara, where it landed at around 4:45 am. Forest department officials said a team of nearly 70 tiger rescue personnel had been searching for the tigress in Valmiki Tiger Reserve for several days despite difficult weather conditions. She was finally tranquilised with sleeper darts before dusk on Tuesday. After the capture, the tigress underwent health checks before being transported by road from Valmiki Tiger Reserve in Bihars Champaran district to Gorakhpur airport, around 125 km away. Following the airlift, two wildlife veterinarians and tiger experts examined her physical parameters for more than an hour at Hasimara. The tigress was then transported by road to Buxa Tiger Reserve, about 37 km from Hasimara. Security arrangements were strengthened along the route, with additional police personnel deployed to ensure a smooth transfer. The animal entered Buxa through the Rajabhatkhawa gate at around 6:45 pm and was taken to a special forest department facility at 25 Miles. She will remain there temporarily before being moved to a 2.2-hectare natural enclosure. Officials said the tigress will be released into the natural enclosure on October 2, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav are scheduled to attend the release programme. The relocation is part of a broader initiative to revive the tiger population in Buxa. The reserve has been preparing for the reintroduction programme, with forest authorities making arrangements for the animals acclimatisation and monitoring after its release. The movement of the tigress involved coordination among forest, wildlife and defence authorities.

SP goons vitiated UPs atmosphere before 2017, harassed daughters: CM Adityanath
Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Sept 23 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday hit out at the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) government in the state, alleging that before 2017 the goons associated with the SP had vitiated the atmosphere by harassing and forcefully abducting daughters. The Chief Minister made the allegations during the inauguration of a government women's shelter in Gorakhpur. Equipped with all necessary amenities and boasting a capacity of 100 women, the building was constructed at Rs. 8 crore 5 lakh 42 thousand. Addressing a gathering, CM Adityanath said: Parents used to worry about their daughters' education and safety (before 2017). Goons associated with the then-government had vitiated the atmosphere. In many districts, daughters' education was in jeopardy. SP-linked miscreants used to harass and forcibly abduct them. The Chief Minister further remarked that the entire state was gripped by an atmosphere of hooliganism, land grabbing, and anarchy, whereas today, Uttar Pradesh is free from curfews, riots, fear, hooliganism, and illegal encroachments. Tangible results have emerged because society and the government have worked in unison since 2017, he asserted. The Chief Minister stated that any daughter forced to leave home or any woman who is a victim of domestic violence would no longer have to face the indignity of wandering from pillar to post. The 100-bed government women's shelter home in Gorakhpur will serve as a source of strength and support for such women, the UP CM said. The government is continuously working to realize the vision of a 'Developed India' by ensuring respect and safety for women, who constitute half the population and by guiding them toward self-reliance, he emphasised. Affirming that the government stands by a daughter at every stagefrom birth through her education, marriage, and safety to her self-reliance- he mentioned: Under the 'Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangla Yojana,' financial assistance of Rs. 25,000 is provided for a daughter from birth up to her graduation, while a provision of Rs. 1 lakh has been made under the 'Mukhyamantri Samuhik Vivah Yojana' (Chief Minister's Mass Marriage Scheme). Moreover, the Uttar Pradesh CM attacked the opposition, specifically the Samajwadi Party, regarding employment opportunities in the state. You keep counting, and we will keep distributing jobs. You will grow tired of counting, but we will not tire of providing jobs to the youth of UP, he said. The Chief Minister stated that over 9.5 lakh youths have been given government jobs so far under 'Mission Rozgar' (Mission Employment). New employment opportunities are emerging across various sectors. More than 30 million (3 crore) people have found employment through 9.6 million (96 lakh) MSME units in the state, with a significant number of these units being run by women. With over 24,000 startups, the youth of Uttar Pradesh are transforming from job seekers into job creators, he said. CM Adityanath noted that women are scripting new stories of self-reliance as 'Lakhpati Didis,' 'Drone Didis,' and 'Banking Correspondent Sakhis.' The UP CM stated that whether it is a woman who is a victim of domestic violence, or a daughter, sister, or elderly woman separated from her family for any reason, his shelter home will serve as their support system. The Chief Minister further said the Women's Welfare Department would ensure the shelter home operates efficiently.

UP CM hands over appointment letters, says nepotism gripped police recruitments before 2017
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 20 (IANS) In an apparent criticism of the previous Samajwadi Party government, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday alleged that the state's police recruitment process before 2017 was marred with paper leaks and ampant nepotism, and claimed that people had to conceal their identity while migrating in search of work. Chief Minister made the remarks during the distribution of appointment letters to selected candidates for various clerical and confidential posts in the state police at an event in Lucknow. The 912 selected candidates include those recruited for the posts of Police Sub-Inspector (Confidential), Assistant Sub-Inspector (Clerk) and Assistant Sub-Inspector (Accounts). Addressing the gathering, CM Adityanath said: When a capable candidate is selected through a transparent recruitment examination, the process becomes a 'symbol of faith' for not only the aspirant's family but also for the public, towards the government and administration. Before 2017, we witnessed the despair and hopelessness felt by the youth and believed that change was indeed possible. However, the lack of willpower to act, combined with the rampant nepotism that had gripped the entire system, meant that one could not even imagine transparency or integrity. And when the recruitment process itself is riddled with anomalies and discrimination, how can there be any trust? he asked. Without taking any name, CM Adityanath claimed that as soon as recruitment advertisement appeared before 2017, every young person felt that the process could not be completed without political patronage or financial dealings. They would feel disheartened, wondering whom to approach or how to secure their selection, he said, adding that questions would arise regarding the integrity of the examination and the selection process, ot to mention the separate issue of paper leaks. The UP Police, in particular, had a notorious reputation where one person would take the exam, while someone else would receive the results and the appointment letter, the UP CM alleged. Further, he said: So, we thought of strengthening the process to an extent that non-deserving people cannot enter the system. We brought in a law that if someone orchestrates a paper leak in the manner of before the year 2017, then that person shall be sentenced to life imprisonment and their entire property confiscated. He asserted that transparent recruitment in the Uttar Pradesh Police in the last nine years is an example of change brought into the state. The state is the same. It is not as if I brought something in from elsewhere. We haven't changed anything (in terms of the structure). The posts of DGP, Home Secretary, and Chief Secretary remain exactly as they were. All Additional Chief Secretaries and Principal Secretaries also remain the same...Nor is it the case that I brought in extra officers from Gorakhpur or Delhi to run the state through them. It is the same state, the same workforce. However, according to CM Adityanath, it is the people's mindset that has undergone a shift. Recalling an anecdote shared by state Finance Minister Suresh Khanna, the CM said: During a discussion, a senior military officer told him (Khanna) that earlier people had to hide their identity while going out of Uttar Pradesh. This is not just the story of a single army officer. It is the story of every resident of Uttar Pradesh who had to hide their identity. When they went outside UP, they would conceal their identity, he said, claiming that there was lack of employment opportunities in the state before 2017. Riots would break out every other day. Curfews would remain in place for months on end. It wasn't limited to just one placebe it Bareilly, Aligarh, or Meerut; in Muzaffarnagar, riots continued unabated for six months. The riots began at Kosi Kalan, and there wasn't a single town, district, or village in the state that remained untouched by it, he alleged.

'Previous govt took bribe for each medical license': UP CM Yogi Adityanath
Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Sep 16 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday accused the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) government of taking bribes for issuing medical licenses in the state. The Chief Minister was in Gorakhpur for the inauguration of the IMA Charitable Blood Centre. Urging citizens to donate blood, Chief Minister Adityanath said: Medical facilities, equipments and medicines can be made to suit modern standards but blood cannot be made. It is a symbol of compassion where a donor saves a life of a recipient. We are witnessing a new Gorakhpur, a new Uttar Pradesh, a New India, which has undergone a massive transformation in healthcare, he asserted while adding that earlier there was only one hospital in eastern Uttar Pradesh where four patients used to share one bed. Today, the BRD Medical College in Gorakhpur is a super speciality hospital which has emerged as the centre of treatment for various diseases, including Encephalitis. Today there is an AIIMS in Gorakhpur. Two medical colleges and four universities are also functional in the district today, CM Adityanath said. The Chief Minister also launched an attack on the previous governments in the state. Without directly naming previous governments, CM Adityanath said: The government (Samajwadi Party) at that time used to demand money for every license. I used to tell them that we would provide all the facilities required, but we would not pay a single rupee as a bribe...When you work hard, God also supports you. Along with blood bank, the functioning of the first ICU of eastern Uttar Pradesh has been started by Guru Shri Gorakshnath Chikitsalaya, he stressed. He claimed that earlier people had to go to Lucknow for medical treatments like dialysis but now it has been made available in Gorakhpur itself. Today, several quality hospitals in Gorakhpur are providing facilities like dialysis. Under a government scheme, 10 beds in each district hospital can avail dialysis facility free of cost, he said. Chief Minister Adityanath said that the number of MBBS seats in the state has increased, what was previously 4,600 is now more than 13,500. Postgraduation seats have doubled. The number of nursing colleges has also increased, and new paramedical courses and institutes are being established to strengthen health services. Work has now begun to take this further by developing centres of excellence. We are setting up a Centre of Excellence for MedTech at IIT Kanpur in collaboration with the institute, with support from the state government. We are also developing a Centre of Excellence at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) in Lucknow, he added.
AISA chief's objectionable remark against CM Yogi Adityanath invites wrath of UP ministers
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 15 (IANS) Outraged over objectionable and slanderous remarks against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, several Uttar Pradesh Ministers tore into Neha Bora, the All India Students' Association (AISA) President, on Tuesday and cautioned her against resorting to such 'vile gimmicks' to become popular among public. Uttar Pradesh Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar went to suggest 'right medicine' for her 'theatrics' in public. The controversy erupted over a viral video of AISA Chief Neha Bora casting aspersions on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The AISA activist, addressing a public meet recently, accused Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of harassing the minorities and Dalits with bulldozer action and also called him a 'goon and rioter' while questioning the Uttar Pradesh government over paper leaks, unemployment and other issues. He (Yogi adityanath) calls himself 'Yogi' but has been only fooling and looting the people. He has made Gorakhpur a land of riots, which once used to be the place of Buddha and Kabir, Neha Bora could be heard saying in the viral video. Bora's ruffian charge at the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath left the Uttar Pradesh Ministers infuriated, who not only lamented the falling political discourse because of some noted few but also warned against instigating the public with vile slurs. Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar said that those who think that by taking Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's name and maligning him, they will become popular or will build public connect, this will prove to be futile attempt. Those who provoke public sentiments with objectionable remarks have been shown their rightful place and others will also meet the same fate, if they resort to such tactics, he added. Taking a swipe, Rajbhar also advised the AISA Chief to meet the Bareilly-based Maulana, currently behind bars, apparently referring to Tauqeer Raza Khan, who has been jailed last year for alleged incitement and instigation of violence resulting in widespread riots, stone-pelting attacks on police personnel. Uttar Pradesh Minister Narendra Kashyap, critical of insulting remarks against the Chief Minister Adityanath, said that some leaders have stooped down to such sub-standard levels that they are making utterly distasteful and disparaging remarks made against national leaders, including Yogi Adityanath. Whether it is Samajwadi Party, CPI, CPI-M -- out of their desperation for power -- that they have forgotten all boundaries of decency and political discourse and are resorting to name-calling against the top BJP leadership, even the Prime Minister of the country, he said. He added that they must remember that such objectionable and derogatory slurs have done more harm than any good and this won't change in Yogi Adityanath's case. The remarks were apparently made in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur, where AISA organised a 'Gen Z Rising' campaign for enlightening the youth about government's failed promises and also questioning the latter on multiple issues, including accountability to people.

Indian Railways freight loading rises 5.4 pc in August, passenger traffic also sees strong growth
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS) Indian Railways recorded a 5.4 per cent year-on-year increase in freight loading in August 2026, while passenger traffic also grew during the month, reflecting sustained demand for rail-based transportation across the country, according to the Ministry of Railways on Sunday. The national transporter loaded 137.9 million tonnes of freight in August 2026, compared with 130.9 million tonnes in the same month last year. Freight revenue also increased by 6.27 per cent year-on-year during the month. The growth in freight movement was supported by higher loading of several key commodities. Iron ore loading rose 12.1 per cent, followed by clinker at 10.4 per cent, domestic containers at 9.2 per cent and coal at 6 per cent. Finished steel loading increased 4.9 per cent, while mineral oil and fertilizers recorded growth of 3.1 per cent and 1.6 per cent, respectively. Loading of other goods increased 8.2 per cent. The increase in freight movement is expected to strengthen rail-based supply chains for industries and improve the movement of essential commodities, raw materials and finished goods across regions. The railway network also expanded its freight-handling infrastructure during the month with the commissioning of five new Gati Shakti Cargo Terminals (GCTs). The new terminals are located at Shivlakha in Gujarat, Nalli in Tamil Nadu, Shaktinagar in Uttar Pradesh, Deoragram in Madhya Pradesh and Brajrajnagar in Odisha. With these additions, the cumulative number of commissioned Gati Shakti Cargo Terminals reached 149 as of August 31, 2026. The terminals are aimed at bringing freight-handling facilities closer to production and consumption centres and improving the efficiency of cargo movement. On the passenger side, Indian Railways carried 67.27 crore passengers in August 2026, compared with 64.43 crore in August 2025. Suburban passenger traffic registered particularly strong growth of 9.02 per cent, rising to 38.01 crore passengers from 34.89 crore a year earlier. Indian Railways also expanded regular passenger connectivity during August by regularising 14 Amrit Bharat services, taking the total number of Amrit Bharat services to 86.

UP T20 League: Kashi Rudras reflect on playoff run, emergence of young talent
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 11 (IANS) Two-time champions Kashi Rudras owner Sanjeev Garg said their fourth Uttar Pradesh T20 League campaign was a journey defined by immense team resilience and the promising rise of a new generation of local cricketers, following their fourth consecutive playoff appearance.v The Yan Consultancy-owned franchise rebounded from a mid-season slump of four consecutive defeats to finish third in the league standings and sealed their playoff berth with a 56-run victory over table-toppers Meerut Mavericks. Their campaign eventually came to an end in a hard-fought Eliminator, where they fell short by just one run to Noida Kings. This season once again demonstrated the character and fighting spirit that define Kashi Rudras. The way the team responded after a difficult phase in the league and finished strongly against the table-toppers showed the resilience within this group, Garg said in a statement on Friday. The season highlighted several outstanding individual efforts, starting with skipper Karan Sharma, who claimed the Orange Cap as the tournament's leading run-scorer with 361 runs, including a league-high 26 sixes, a 51-ball 102 against Noida Super Kings, and a 92 off 48 balls against Gorakhpur Lions. On the bowling front, Atal Bihari Rai led the attack with 15 wickets. However, it was the breakthrough of young players that stood out as the major takeaway for the franchise. 19-year-old left-arm spinner Kartik Yadav enjoyed a stellar season with 11 wickets, anchored by a match-winning 3-for-12 spell against Meerut Mavericks. Youngsters Sangam Singh, pacer Rishabh Rajput, and batter Virat Jaiswal also stepped up to showcase the franchise's squad depth. Karans Orange Cap-winning campaign and the performances of our experienced players were outstanding, but what excites us equally is the emergence of young talent. Youngsters have shown tremendous promise and have given us a glimpse of what this group can achieve in the years ahead. We will take the learnings from this season, continue to back our players and return with the same ambition and determination to bring another championship to Kashi Rudras, added Garg.
