CJP protest: Passengers complain of inconvenience amid train cancellations
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Passengers, who were scheduled to travel to New Delhi but were stranded due to the cancellation and rescheduling of several trains in view of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest on Saturday, complained about the inconvenience caused due to the agitation and its resulting decision by the Indian Railways. A commuter, who was waiting at the Jammu railway station, said: Look at how much chaos has been created here. People are facing difficulties, and everyone is stranded. Those who need to reach their respective destinations are stuck here. A woman accused the CJP of trying to establish itself politically and alleged it was receiving support from outside. CJP is trying to establish its political base, just as the Aam Aadmi Party did when it first came...I believe some external party is supporting them, who want to destabilise and divide the country. They (external forces) want to fulfil their motives under the garb of this (protest). A commuter at New Delhi railway station also expressed disappointment with the protest. Common people are suffering because of the protest. There are traffic jams, metros, and trains are being shut down. This is not right, he told IANS. A passenger added: I took an alternative route based on Google Maps while travelling from Gurugram to the New Delhi station as the regular route was showing heavy traffic. Expressing disappointment, a youngster said: I just saw the news that all trains are cancelled from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow, and even today, many trains have been diverted or cancelled. This is having a major impact on the daily lives of people in India. Students' class timings, plans and schedules have to be changed, and this is creating a lot of problems. We do not know whether the government understands these issues or not. Booking train tickets has already become very difficult these days. We are unable to get Tatkal tickets, and even booking regular tickets has also become difficult. Now, when someone manages to book a ticket with so much difficulty and boards a train, the train gets cancelled. Someone has to be held accountable for this, he told IANS. A passenger at the Kanpur railway station said that following the cancellation and rescheduling of trains, he will have to divide his journey by first travelling by bus and then later by train. Speaking to IANS, he said: ''I was trying to go to Delhi right now, but now no train from Kanpur to Delhi is available at all. Now I have to break up my journey and travel in parts. I will first take a bus to travel 50-60 km and then take the next available train from the railway station there. It is extremely inconvenient, he added.
Free LPG cylinders, AC electric buses: UP Cabinet approves more than 30 proposals
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 9 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet on Friday approved a number of proposals, including continuation of the scheme to provide two free LPG cylinders in a year, facilitating the operation of 1,725 air-conditioned electric buses, launching of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Skill Training and Employment Zone development scheme, and providing three sarees every year to the state's Anganwadi workers and helpers. Around 39 proposals were approved during the Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The UP Cabinet approved a proposal to continue the scheme of providing one free LPG cylinder refill each on Diwali and Holi to the eligible beneficiaries of 'Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana' in the financial year 2026-27. In all, the eligible beneficiaries will receive two free cylinder refills during the financial year. The state government will spend Rs 2,142.78 crore on this initiative. The first free refill will be provided between October and December 2026 (coinciding with Diwali), and the second between January and March 2027 (coinciding with Holi). According to the eligibility criteria set by the government, the benefits of the scheme will be available only to those Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries whose bank accounts are linked to Aadhaar and who have completed their Aadhaar authentication. The Yogi Adityanath government will also facilitate the operation of 1,725 air-conditioned electric buses. These electric buses will operate in Agra, Aligarh, Ayodhya, Bareilly, Firozabad, Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur, Jhansi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Mathura-Vrindavan, Meerut, Moradabad, Prayagraj, Shahjahanpur, Saharanpur, Varanasi, and Noida (including Jewar). As per the Cabinet's decision, the operation of all 1,725 AC electric buses will be handled by private operators through a 12-year contract, commencing from the date of commercial operations. The UP cabinet has also approved the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Skill Training and Employment Zone (SVPSTPZ) development scheme during its meeting on Friday. The scheme aims to develop Uttar Pradesh into an ultimate sourcing hub for skilled manpower and a global manpower hub. Under this initiative, an integrated system for skill training and employment will be developed across nine zones, covering all 75 districts of the state. According to the government, this will help train youth in accordance with the industry demands and connect them with employment opportunities available both domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, a proposal to rename the state's Bhadohi district to 'Sant Ravidas Nagar Bhadohi' was also approved. During the tenure of the previous Samajwadi Party government, the name 'Sant Ravidas' was dropped, with the district being known as Bhadohi. Now, the Yogi Adityanath government has decided to reincorporate the name of 'Sant Ravidas' while simultaneously preserving Bhadohi's historical identity. Further, the UP government has decided to provide three sarees every year to the state's Anganwadi workers and helpers. Currently, workers and helpers receive two sarees a year. The new arrangement is scheduled to benefit 3,80,290 workers and helpers across the state. Moreover, Chief Minister Yogi announced during a press conference after the meeting that the UP Cabinet has passed a proposal to rename Noida International Airport as Narendra Modi International Airport.

MP: Digvijaya Singh to begin 930-km yatra from Ujjain to Ayodhya on Oct 20
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 7 (IANS) Veteran Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh will begin a nearly 930-km 'Satya Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra' from Ujjain to Ayodhya on October 20, carrying the Tricolour and a five-colour Dharma flag under the motto Yato Dharmastato Jayah (where there is dharma, there is victory). Singh announced the yatra's plan and objectives at a press conference in Bhopal on Wednesday. He said it would begin on October 20, Vijayadashami, from the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain and culminate at the Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The yatra will pass through Shajapur, Sarangpur, Rajgarh, Chachauda, Aron, Ashoknagar, Chanderi and Orchha, then enter Uttar Pradesh and proceed through Orai, Kalpi, Kanpur Dehat, Lucknow Dehat and Barabanki to Ayodhya. The journey will link Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, Ramraja Sarkar Temple in Orchha and Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Explaining the significance of the yatra, Singh said the Dharma flag would represent the values he associates with Sanatan Dharma, while the Tricolour would reflect the country's unity. Singh said Sanatan Dharma is not merely a mode of worship or a religious ritual. He added that the core of Sanatan Dharma is truth, justice, good conduct, compassion, sacrifice and walking on the path of dharma. He said the yatra would be peaceful and would not oppose any religion, sect or individual. He said the purpose was to spread awareness of Sanatan Dharma values and raise issues about protecting devotees' faith and religious donations. The yatra will also raise questions about the management of major Hindu religious institutions. At Ujjain, Singh said he would raise issues related to the Mahakal Lok project, including the quality of statues and alleged irregularities in land-related matters. At Orchha, he said questions would be raised about temple accounts, properties, jewellery and the utilisation of donations. In Ayodhya, he said he would seek transparency in donations, offerings, land transactions and expenditure related to the Ram temple. Singh said donations in the name of Ram should be used only for Ram's work, and wealth in the name of Mahakal should be used only for Mahakal's work. He added that both the faith of the devotee and the devotee's donation should be protected and described this as Sanatan Swabhiman. Singh also announced a digital petition and missed-call campaign on Chanda Chori and Vote Chori, along with demands for an independent probe into alleged irregularities and electoral reforms. Singh said the yatra would retain its religious and social character and would use the Tricolour and Dharma flag throughout the journey.

'Pressure Is Also Privilege': Priyansh Arya On His Time With India A
Indian Premier League: Rising opening batter Priyansh Arya reflected on his time with India A as he gears up for the one-dayers against Australia A from Tuesday onwards. he called playing for India 'A' fun, as it gives the pressure but also the privilege. He scored a 101 against Australia A last year in Kanpur and has five more fifties in List A cricket. It's a lot of fun playing for India A, and to wear the blue jersey is a proud feeling, Arya told the media in Delhi. I felt great to have scored a century for India A last year. There's a bit of pressure on you when you're playing for your country at any level. However, that pressure is also a privilege. I enjoy playing under that pressure and try to handle it well. The Delhi batter has been in the headlines in the past two Indian Premier League seasons too. He scored 475 runs in IPL 2025 at a strike rate of 179.24 and improved it in the 2026 season with 364 runs at 211.62. Arya claimed that his focus remains on capitalising the powerplay, rather than the strike rate. I don't focus as much on the strike rate, but I still try to capitalise on the powerplay as much as possible, Arya said. I put in a little more effort during this IPL than last year, and it paid off. If there's high risk (in my approach), then there's high reward as well. I just have self-belief, and there are no doubts in my mind when I hit the ball. Arya claimed that his focus remains on capitalising the powerplay, rather than the strike rate. I don't focus as much on the strike rate, but I still try to capitalise on the powerplay as much as possible, Arya said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
