Further details were awaited as the inspection and investigation progressed.
AI skills redraw entry-level jobs map
Indias IT-BPM sector is set to revive fresher hiring after a sharp contraction, but the recovery is rewiring the skills companies seek in graduates.Fresher hiring in the sector is projected to rise to up to 2.1 lakh in FY27, after falling to an estimated 1.75 lakh in FY26 from 4 lakh in FY22, according to technology consulting and talent advisory firm HAN Digitals IT-BPM Graduate Hiring Outlook 2027.However, demand is increasingly shifting towards artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data engineering, cybersecurity and other specialised technology roles, away from conventional entry-level coding and business process outsourcing jobs.IT Services players will remain the largest employers of the sectors freshers, accounting for about 60% of hires, though growth now will be concentrated in AI-adjacent and specialised roles.GCCs are the fastest-growing channel, expected to recruit 28% of talent as they expand intake into Tier II/III cities. Pure-play BPOs share keeps shrinking, mirroring the shift from routine execution to specialised, AI-adjacent work.The rise in fresher hiring reflects a structural reset in how IT services firms are building their talent pyramid, said Saravanan Balasundaram, CEO, HAN Digital Solution.As system integrators and IT Service providers sign more AI, data engineering and AI-enabled deals with existing and new clients, the bench capacity reduced by layoffs over the last few years can no longer absorb the demand, he said. At the same time, new AI roles in data engineering, AI testing, annotation and model operations are opening up at the base of the pyramid, where AI-ready graduates can be skilled and deployed at scale, while mid-level hiring in the four+ years band remains under cost and productivity pressure.The shift is changing expectations from new recruits. As AI tools take over parts of routine coding, testing and repetitive tasks, employers increasingly want graduates who can work with AI systems, validate their outputs and apply technology to business problems.The skillsets that companies are hiring for are definitely changing, said Sangeeta Gupta, senior VP, Nasscom. Its much more focused on AI capabilities there are new jobs that are also opening up with data centres coming up.The traditional model of bulk hiring, six months of training and deployment is also changing. The new kind of freshers companies need are AI-native, she said.This change is also visible in salaries. Freshers with AI-allied skills can command significantly higher pay, indicating that employers are increasingly paying for specialised skills rather than graduate headcount alone.Indias Tier-1 IT Services players 2027 fresher model offers Rs 1222 lakh for select specialised engineers in AI, data engineering, cybersecurity and enterprise tech as the premium shifts toward specialised technology capability, found the report.This would never happen in the past, said Gupta, citing Infosys plan to offer up to Rs 21 lakh for certain specialised tech roles. Entry-level salaries across ITeS meanwhile have largely stagnated at Rs 3-4 lakh for years.Recruitment geography is widening too. Bengaluru remains the leading fresher destination, accounting for an estimated 25% of onboarding, followed by Delhi-NCR at 17%, Hyderabad at 16%, Chennai at 15% and Mumbai and Pune at 10% each. Yet, Tier 2/3 corridors are outpacing metro growth, albeit on a smaller base, at 35% year-on-year.Coimbatore, Jaipur, Kochi, Indore, Ahmedabad, and Visakhapatnam are attracting freshers via local GCC centres and IT services players seeking lower-cost talent pools beyond major metros.

Air India Frankfurt-Delhi flight makes emergency landing in Jaipur after Squawk 7500 alert
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS) An Air India flight from Frankfurt to Delhi made an emergency landing in Jaipur on Wednesday after reportedly transmitting Squawk 7500, the international code used to indicate a hijacking, as per multiple reports. Reports claim that the alert was received by Ahmedabad Air Traffic Control (ATC), following which the aircraft landed safely in Jaipur. Further details about the circumstances that triggered the alert were not immediately available. Squawk 7500 is an internationally recognised aviation transponder code that pilots use to discreetly alert air traffic control to a hijacking or unlawful interference with an aircraft. The incident also caused concern among passengers on board, according to them. Earlier in October, airline firms continued to suspend operations to Saudi Arabia amid escalating security concerns. Air India Express on Tuesday suspended flights to and from Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh until October 17, citing the evolving security situation in the region. The airline said affected passengers are being offered complimentary rescheduling options or a full refund in case of cancellations. The carrier added that it is closely monitoring developments before taking any further decisions on operations. In view of the evolving situation in the region, we have cancelled flights to and from Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh until 17 October. Affected guests are being offered complimentary rescheduling or a full refund on cancellation. We continue to monitor the situation closely, an Air India Express spokesperson said. The suspension comes amid escalating security concerns in Saudi Arabia following drone and missile strikes that targeted airport infrastructure in the region. Air India had extended the suspension of its flights to and from Riyadh until October 15 after repeated attacks on Saudi Arabia's capital airport by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels. The disruption has also prompted other Indian carriers, including IndiGo and Akasa Air, to cancel services to affected destinations in Saudi Arabia. IndiGo has extended the cancellation of its flights to Riyadh and Dammam until October 15. Saudi authorities have kept Riyadh airport shut for the time being following the strikes and subsequent security threats. Airlines said they are continuing to revise schedules amid heightened tensions linked to the broader conflict involving Iran and the United States.

Rajasthan: 4 arrested in former MLA Atar Singh Bhadana murder case
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 13 (IANS) Police have arrested four accused in connection with the murder of former Bayana MLA Attar Singh Bhedana in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district. The accused have been identified as Bhagmal Gurjar, Soni Gurjar, Sher Singh Gurjar, and Kunwar Singh Gurjar. According to reports, three of them are residents of Bhaunda village, while the fourth belongs to Navar village. Tension and an atmosphere of silence have prevailed in the area since the former MLA's death. Police had earlier detained several people for questioning as part of the investigation. The detention of numerous villagers reportedly prompted many residents of Bhaunda to lock their homes and leave the village temporarily. The arrests come amid growing pressure on the authorities to bring those responsible to justice. Atar Singh Bhadana's wife, Kamlesh Bhadana, has filed a complaint at Vair police station naming 30 individuals and accusing another 50-60 unidentified persons in connection with the incident. The murder is reportedly linked to an ongoing dispute over a mining lease and crusher operations. According to the complaint filed by Kamlesh Bhadana, a confrontation occurred a day before the fatal incident involving individuals associated with the mining lease and crusher site. A case concerning that altercation was also registered at the police station. The following day, an alleged attack took place at the mining complex, resulting in the former MLAs death. According to the complaint, a group of approximately 70-80 people allegedly entered the mining lease and crusher premises and carried out an attack involving assault, stone-pelting, gunfire and arson. The complainant alleged that the attackers intended to dismantle the crusher unit. The complaint further states that Bhedana was assaulted during the incident. His limbs were allegedly broken, and he was struck on the head with a gandasa, a heavy, sharp-edged agricultural implement. He sustained severe injuries and was referred to Jaipur for further treatment but died on the way. These allegations are part of the complaint and remain subject to investigation. With four arrests reported, the investigation is expected to focus on establishing the alleged roles of the accused and determining whether others were involved. Further details regarding the arrests, interrogation and possible involvement of additional suspects are awaited from the police. The murder has left the area in an atmosphere of grief and tension, with a significant police presence reported amid concerns over the law-and-order situation. Attention is now focused on the investigation and the steps authorities take to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing. The case remains under investigation, and the allegations against the arrested individuals have yet to be established in court.

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 13 (IANS) Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, contrasting his political journey with the success stories of prominent personalities and global brands that emerged or gained prominence around the time Gandhi entered politics in 2004. In a social media post, Shekhawat described Gandhi as a leader known for making false claims and questioned his achievements after nearly two decades in politics. Citing examples from sports, technology, entertainment and the automobile industry, Shekhawat noted that Mahendra Singh Dhoni made his international cricket debut in 2004 and went on to captain the Indian team and win major ICC titles, establishing himself as one of India's celebrated cricketers. He also referred to Facebook, which was launched in 2004, and Gmail, which was introduced the same year and subsequently became one of the world's most widely used email services. Shekhawat highlighted YouTube's launch in 2005, saying the video-sharing platform transformed how people create, watch and share content. He also cited Google Maps, launched in 2005, for changing the way people navigate, travel and explore new places. The minister referred to the Maruti Suzuki Swift, introduced in India in 2005, which became a popular model in the country's passenger car market. He also mentioned the Mahindra Scorpio, launched in 2002, which established a strong identity in India's SUV segment. Citing Priyanka Chopra, who won the Miss World title in 2000 before building an international entertainment career, Shekhawat argued that several personalities and ventures had achieved significant milestones over the years. Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, the minister questioned his political record despite his long presence in public life. He also criticised the Congress leader's perceived claim to the country's top political office. Shekhawat said the prime ministerial position should be earned through public support and a democratic mandate rather than treated as a family inheritance. The remarks formed part of the minister's political criticism of Gandhi, drawing a contrast between the achievements of personalities and institutions in different fields and the Congress leader's political journey.

Ashok Gehlot praises Delhi protests; calls for Oppn unity to safeguard democracy
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 13 (IANS) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister and senior Congress leader, Ashok Gehlot, on Tuesday praised the protest held in Delhi, saying it had sent a strong message across the country about citizens' commitment to protecting democracy. He also called for unity within the Congress to strengthen the nationwide fight against what he described as dictatorial forces. Interacting with the media at Bikaner Airport, Gehlot said the protest had been magnificent and asserted that the country and its younger generation, including Gen Z, were united in the fight to safeguard democratic values. We will not allow the designs of these dictatorial forces to succeed at any cost, he said. Responding to a question about his recent statement in Jaipur that we are all one, Gehlot said his remarks had been made after careful consideration and that the unity he had spoken about would become evident. He said democracy in the country was in danger and that the Congress, under the leadership of party President Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi, was fighting against what he termed dictatorial forces. At a time like this, if we do not remain united within the states, how can we fight the battle to save democracy nationwide? Gehlot asked, adding that protecting democracy was the party's foremost priority. When asked whether IAS and IPS officers were dominating the Bhajanlal Sharma-led Rajasthan government, leading to the current situation, Gehlot questioned the government's authority over the administration. There is no such thing as a government there! Officials themselves are saying that this government has no grip or influence over the administration, he said. On whether he would work his political magic in the upcoming Panchayati Raj elections, Gehlot expressed confidence that the Congress would secure a massive majority. He said the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC), under the leadership of President Govind Singh Dotasra and Leader of the Opposition Tikaram Jully, was working to bring everyone together. According to Gehlot, committees have been constituted at the district, block and state levels to oversee preparations for the Panchayati Raj elections. He said the organisational exercise had changed the political atmosphere across Rajasthan and expressed confidence that the Congress would contest the elections unitedly and register a spectacular victory.

Two-day training to prevent gender-based violence held in Rajasthan
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 12 (IANS) A two-day district-level capacity-building training programme was organised in Sawai Madhopur to strengthen efforts to prevent gender-based violence and ensure timely, sensitive, and effective assistance to affected women and girls. Hosted by SP Jyeshtha Maitreyi, the programme focused on a multi-sectoral coordinated response, highlighting the importance of interdepartmental cooperation and streamlined support mechanisms to ensure effective assistance and protection for victims. The training aimed to strengthen the capacity of officials and personnel from various departments to handle cases of gender-based violence, improve coordination among stakeholders, and facilitate timely access to essential support services. The event was held on October 8 and 9. During the training, experts and resource persons provided insights into the forms, causes, and consequences of gender-based violence, along with preventive measures. Discussions focused on identifying cases of violence against women and girls, responding promptly and sensitively to complaints, ensuring victims protection, and connecting them with appropriate support services. SP Jyeshtha Maitreyi emphasised that the dignity, respect, and confidentiality of women and girls affected by violence must remain the highest priority. Officials were encouraged to listen to victims with sensitivity, avoid causing unnecessary mental distress, and provide appropriate assistance, guidance, and protection according to their needs. The programme highlighted the roles and responsibilities of various departments and institutions involved in responding to gender-based violence. These included the police, District Legal Services Authority, One Stop Centres, the Department of Women Empowerment, Child Marriage Prohibition Officers, Women Safety and Counselling Centres, Sakhi Centres, service provider organisations, Pannadhay Women Safety and Honour Centres, the Medical and Health Department, and institutions working for women's and children's protection. The importance of coordination among the Child Welfare Committee, Special Juvenile Police Unit, District Child Protection Unit, and Juvenile Justice Board was also discussed. Participants were sensitised to the fact that addressing gender-based violence requires more than the intervention of a single department. Timely information-sharing, coordinated action, and referrals to the appropriate agencies are essential to ensuring that victims receive comprehensive support and protection. The training covered relevant legal provisions relating to gender-based violence, the rights of victims, and the responsibilities of the departments concerned. Officials and personnel were sensitised to the need to ensure compliance with the law while safeguarding the safety, dignity, privacy, and confidentiality of women and girls. The sessions also underscored the importance of ensuring that victims can access assistance without facing unnecessary procedural hurdles or further distress. The programme emphasised the need to raise awareness among women and girls about their rights, available support mechanisms, and avenues for seeking assistance. Participants discussed ways to create a safe and supportive environment in which survivors can report violence without fear or hesitation. The discussions also focused on improving mechanisms for providing immediate assistance, protection, counselling, and guidance, as well as facilitating access to relevant services. The two-day programme sought to enhance the capabilities of officials and personnel through discussions, experience-sharing, and an examination of procedures for responding to different situations involving gender-based violence. The training reinforced the message that protecting the safety, dignity, and rights of women and girls is a shared responsibility. Effective prevention and response require coordinated efforts by the police, district administration, health services, Women and Child Development authorities, legal services institutions, and other relevant agencies. The overarching objective was to strengthen the prevention of gender-based violence, improve access to timely assistance and protection for affected women and girls, and contribute to creating a safe, dignified, and violence-free environment through a coordinated institutional response.

Speaking about his return, Karan Johar said, IIFA and I go back a long way, and some of my most memorable moments on stage have happened here. Six times as host sounds like a lot, but the excitement, the nerves and the sheer unpredictability of a live IIFA night never get old! Theres a wonderful madness and magic to IIFA that you simply have to experience. Coming back to Abu Dhabi makes it even more special, and Im ready for the laughter, the surprises and everything IIFA 2027 has in store.

He said, IIFA has always been a celebration that feels very close to the heart of every actor because it brings our entire film fraternity together in one place and then takes that celebration to the world. I have had some incredible memories with IIFA over the years, from performing on its stage to being part of its unforgettable celebrations in Abu Dhabi. There is an incredible energy at IIFA that is difficult to describe until you experience it the audience, the artists, the music and that feeling of Indian cinema coming together on one global stage. To return to Yas Island and host the IIFA Awards is a huge honour. Abu Dhabi has become such a special part of IIFAs journey, and I am thrilled to be coming back to a place where we have created so many incredible memories. IIFA has grown beyond an awards night into a celebration of everything that makes Indian cinema so loved around the world. I cannot wait to share the stage, celebrate our incredible talent and hopefully create a few more unforgettable IIFA moments along the way. For Ananya Panday, the announcement marks a new milestone in her association with IIFA. Recalling how her journey with the awards began in Abu Dhabi, she said, Being a part of IIFA has always been incredibly special to me. My IIFA journey began in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, with my very first-ever performance on that iconic stage. I still remember the excitement of that moment. I had grown up watching IIFA, so to find myself a part of that incredible celebration of Indian cinema felt like a dream come true. Over the years, IIFA has become such a beautiful part of my journey. With every experience, Ive had the opportunity to grow, discover new sides of myself and create memories that I will always cherish.
