Housing sales fall 6% to 103K units across top 9 cities in Q3: PropEquity
Housing sales fell 6 per cent to 1.03 lakh units in the July-September quarter across nine major cities, mainly due to subdued demand and lower fresh supply of homes, according to PropEquity. Global economic uncertainties also contributed to muted buying sentiments. Real estate data analytics firm PropEquity tracks primary residential markets in nine major cities -- Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and Kolkata. Housing sales in these nine cities fell to 1,03,170 units in July-September from 1,09,420 units in the year-ago period, according to data. New supply fell to 98,165 units from 1,00,330 units during the period under review. Housing sales generally are slow during the July-September quarter because of monsoon rains, discouraging real estate developers from launching projects. Sales improve in the December quarter on account of festive demand. To cash in on this demand, developers increase fresh supply and also offer many incentives t
Deep depression weakens, brings relief from heavy rain in south Bengal
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 26 (IANS) The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) at Alipore in Kolkata on Saturday said there is no warning of heavy rainfall for south Bengal districts, including Kolkata, from Sunday onwards, as the deep depression affecting the region is expected to weaken into a low-pressure area by Saturday evening. According to the Met Office, rainfall activity is likely to ease from Saturday evening, with no prospects of moderate to heavy rain across south Bengal over the next few days. The deep depression over south Odisha and Chhattisgarh has moved further northwestward and is gradually losing strength, leading to a reduction in rainfall intensity across both south and north Bengal. A Met department official said rainfall in Kolkata and adjoining areas is expected to decrease significantly from noon on Saturday. While isolated light showers may occur at one or two places, no weather warning has been issued for any district in south Bengal. However, sea conditions remain rough due to the lingering impact of the weather system. Gusty winds of 35-45 kmph, occasionally reaching 55 kmph, are continuing along the coast. Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the sea until Saturday afternoon. South Bengal, including Kolkata, has been experiencing intermittent spells of heavy rain since Wednesday night under the influence of the deep depression. The city and its suburbs also witnessed heavy showers on Saturday morning. In north Bengal, heavy rainfall may continue in Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri and Kalimpong districts on Saturday. Thunderstorm and rainfall warnings are also in place for Alipurduar, Cooch Behar and North Dinajpur. However, no weather warnings have been issued for any district in north Bengal from Sunday onwards. Kolkata recorded a minimum temperature of 25.6 degrees Celsius on Saturday, 0.4 degrees below normal, while the maximum temperature on Friday stood at 30.6 degrees Celsius, 1.9 degrees below normal.
Trinamool RS MP Samirul Islam files PIL in Calcutta HC over water crisis in Kolkata colony
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 26 (IANS) Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Samirul Islam has moved the Calcutta High Court through a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), seeking restoration of municipal drinking water supply to residents of Jyotinagar Colony in north Kolkata's Cossipore area. Announcing the move in a social media post on Saturday, the Trinamool MP said the petition was filed a day earlier, on Friday, and expressed confidence that the judiciary would ensure justice for the affected residents. According to him, the case concerns the right of nearly 5,000 people to access safe drinking water. I filed a PIL in the Calcutta High Court not over voter list issues, but to secure the right of around 5,000 residents to drinking water. We have faith in the judiciary and hope justice will prevail, Islam said. He further said, Unfortunately, precious drinking water was snatched away from a section of people after the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) stopped water supply to Jyotinagar Colony. This place isn't located in some remote village in a corner of West Bengal -- it's in the heart of the city of joy, Kolkata. He further claimed that the affected residents belonged to a particular religious community and questioned whether access to drinking water should be influenced by religious considerations. After the BJP came to power, the water supply was discontinued -- and it was done so because those affected belong to a particular religion. Is this what development looks like -- where access to drinking water depends on religion? We have faith in the judiciary, and I hope we will get proper justice, he added. The issue has affected around 5,000 residents of Jyotinagar Colony, who are also facing uncertainty over eviction from land claimed by the Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata. Since July 29, the colony's five public taps have remained dry, compelling residents to depend on distant water sources and periodic water tanker supplies reportedly arranged by the CPI(M). According to residents, the crisis began after the Kolkata Municipal Corporation carried out pipeline-related work between July 26 and July 28. They alleged that the work disrupted water supply to a 150-metre stretch within the colony, although taps in nearby areas continued to function normally.
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 26 (IANS) The West Bengal Health Department has started the process of identifying junior doctors getting chances for higher studies under the service quota in state-run medical colleges and hospitals during the previous Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government, without fulfilling the necessary criteria for that. At the same time, said an insider from the state health department, the process has also started of identifying those erstwhile influential officers in the department without whose support such irregularities in utilisation of service quota would not have been possible. The general rule is that any junior doctor getting opportunity for higher studies in any state-run medical college and hospital under the service quota is required to mandatorily render three years of service in remote rural areas in the state to avail that opportunity. However, a recent probe by a state health department-appointed committee had identified instances where junior doctors close to the previous ruling party got chances for doing higher studies under the service quota without rendering three years of service in remote, rural areas, said an insider from the state health department. At the same time, he added, the probe committee had also mentioned about the involvement of some erstwhile influential officers in the state health department, without whose direct patronage such irregularities in the utilisation of the service quota would not have been possible. The state health department, he added, will now take action on this count against the department officials as well. The four-member state health department-appointed committee had already submitted its report on the matter. Now, it is up to the state health minister and other top brass in the department to decide on the fate of both the junior doctors availing the service quota opportunity without fulfilling the criteria, as well as the departmental officials patronising them, said the health department official. State health minister, Dr Sharadwat Mukherjee, who is himself a medical practitioner, said that he is yet to go through the probe report and after studying the report he will announce the next steps necessary. It is learnt that one of the junior doctors who had been identified by the probe committee as taking advantage of the service quota without fulfilling the criteria is Avik Dey, whose name surfaced during the controversy surrounding the R.G. Kar rape and murder case in August 2024.

Delhi's Initial Ranji Games May Happen In Palam Due To Major Drainage Revamp At Arun Jaitley Stadium
Palam Air Force Ground: Delhis initial home matches in the 2026/27 Ranji Trophy season could be shifted to the Air Force Ground in Palam as the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) prepares to undertake a major overhaul of the drainage system at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The venue, which recently hosted three T20Is between India and Afghanistan earlier this month, will require an extended period of downtime once the civic work commences. A proposal has been sent out to improve the drainage system at the venue. Right now, people concerned are waiting for the final approval. Lets be clear - this process needs time; in winter, it takes time for the grass to grow, and for this, proper sunshine is needed, and you can have an idea of it by seeing the weather in December and January, a source familiar with the matter told IANS on Friday. Delhi, which kicks off their Elite Group C campaign against Bengal in Kalyani from October 11, have two scheduled home fixtures in the first phase - against Gujarat (October 1821) and Services (November 25). Both matches are now expected to take place at the Palam Air Force Ground. The upgradation in the drainage system will also lead to the soil-based outfield being converted into a sand-based one. The process will involve a lot of watering, and the invitation for tenders is expected to begin soon. People who have worked in upgrading drainage systems at other Test venues and are known to the BCCI are expected to be preferred for this work. A final confirmation is likely to come by the first week of October, added the source. The timeline for the outfield work, initially understood to be of four months, could also cast doubt over New Delhi hosting the mens ODI between India and Sri Lanka, to be played on December 13. Should the upgradation work and grass cultivation face delays, the BCCI may have to look at an alternative venue for the match. Delhi will have a second-phase Ranji Trophy home game against Maharashtra, slated to be held from February 1 to 4. Previously, former India wicketkeeper-batter Vijay Dahiya was appointed head coach of the Delhi men's domestic team for the 2026/27 season and will take over from Sarandeep Singh, who was on the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) and notably recommended his name for the role. Should the upgradation work and grass cultivation face delays, the BCCI may have to look at an alternative venue for the match. Delhi will have a second-phase Ranji Trophy home game against Maharashtra, slated to be held from February 1 to 4. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories This marks Dahiya's fourth stint in charge of Delhi, after having previously guided them to their last Ranji Trophy title in 2007/08, besides coaching Uttar Pradesh to the semi-finals in 2021/22.

Bengal: ER to set up 131 new chlorination plants for safe drinking water
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 25 (IANS) Eastern Railway (ER) will set up 131 new chlorination plants to improve water quality at stations. Like other railway zones, ER has also launched an intensive drive to provide clean drinking water and safe, hygienic food to passengers. As part of this drive, ER is undertaking comprehensive water tank cleaning across all divisions and workshops. According to officials, 6,955 water tanks, including overhead tanks, underground reservoirs and PVC tanks, were cleaned between August 20 and September 23, 2026. While 2,449 water tanks were cleaned in the Asansol Division, 1,464 were attended to in Sealdah Division. In the Howrah Division, 2,123 water tanks have been cleaned. Malda cleaned 919 tanks. All tanks underwent thorough cleaning and proper water treatment to ensure source reservoirs remain free from contamination for the supply of clean water, an official said. A special initiative has also been launched to clinically test water samples collected from taps at various stations to monitor quality. Work on 131 new chlorination plants is underway. This initiative is part of a broader action plan for strengthening drinking-water quality management across the railways. The action plan emphasises frequent inspection and maintenance of the entire drinking-water system, along with water-quality testing at the source and at the point of consumption, rather than relying solely on end-of-pipe water testing. During the drive, the zonal railways will undertake comprehensive inspection of water sources, treatment and filtration plants, underground and overhead tanks, PVC tanks, water booths, taps and water dispensing points. All drinking-water tanks will be drained, desludged, scrubbed and disinfected. Measures will also be taken to ensure tight covers and appropriate protection of vents and overflow points from birds, animals and algae, the Railway Board said. Damaged tanks, pipelines and filters will be repaired or replaced as required, while ensuring no cross-connection between potable and non-potable water systems. All piping forming part of the drinking-water circuit will also be checked for leakages and necessary corrective measures taken to prevent water wastage, it said. Special attention will also be paid to locations where hand pumps and borewells are used to extract drinking water. The zonal railways have been directed to ensure that water from such systems remains free from contamination and is safe for drinking. The zonal railways will also submit station-wise details of deficiencies identified and the corrective action taken. This mechanism will facilitate systematic monitoring of deficiencies and ensure that issues identified during the special drive are addressed in a time-bound manner.

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 25 (IANS) West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday said the state government had completed land allotment for 33 industrial projects involving a total investment of Rs 60,000 crore. The Chief Minister announced this while addressing a public rally in Bardhaman, East Burdwan district, following an administrative review meeting held on Thursday. The process of handing over land allotment papers to 33 industrial units has already been completed. According to our estimates, the projects have a proposed investment of about Rs 60,000 crore and the potential for direct and indirect employment of about 62,000 people. The list of projects includes semiconductors, defence, solar power, electric vehicles, pharmaceuticals, steel, food processing, textiles, engineering and MSME, Adhikari said. He added that the state government was ensuring that work on these projects would not stall after land allotment. Conditions require work to begin within a specific time frame. At the review meeting, Adhikari announced a power subsidy of Rs 2 per unit for nearly four lakh farmers. He also said farmers would receive enhanced support of Rs 9,000 under the PM-Kisan Sanman Nidhi scheme, up from Rs 6,000. The Chief Minister further said the government would procure all paddy that farmers wished to sell and ensure the minimum support price of Rs 2,700 per quintal. Issuing a warning against corruption, Adhikari said: Each person involved in such corruption will be tracked, the money will be recovered from them, and they will be sent behind bars.

Bengal: BJP announces major reshuffle in organisational committees
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 25 (IANS) The West Bengal unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday announced a major organisational reshuffle at all levels. The party replaced seven district presidents. The districts include Barasat and Bangaon in North 24 Parganas; Arambagh and Sreerampore in Hooghly; Medinipur in West Midnapore; and Burdwan and Katwa in East Burdwan. In addition, the party also changed the presidents of four affiliated fronts. The reshuffle was announced a day after West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and the partys state president in West Bengal and Rajya Sabha member Samik Bhattacharya met BJP National President Nitin Nabin in New Delhi on Thursday. According to state BJP insiders, the move aims to strengthen the organisation ahead of the bypolls. That is why this reshuffle was made. Apart from this, the one person, one post policy in the party was also followed to a great extent in the reshuffle, said a state committee member. It is learnt that seven members of the current BJP-ruled West Bengal cabinet, State Municipal Affairs & Urban Development Minister Agnimitra Pal, State Higher Education Minister Jagannath Chattopadhyay, State Commerce & Industries Minister Tapas Roy, State School Education Minister Deepak Barman, State North Bengal Development Minister Nishith Pramanik and Minister of State for Sport Indranil Khan, have been relieved of their organisational responsibilities. All of them are members of the current state cabinet. They were also in various organisational positions at the same time. They have been removed by implementing the one person, one post policy, the insider said. At the same time, the party has appointed new faces as chiefs of four party-affiliated fronts, youth, women, Scheduled Caste and Other Backward Class (OBC). The new youth wing president is Amit Samanta, MLA from Amta Assembly Constituency in Howrah district. Actress-turned-politician Anjana Basu is the new chief of the womens wing. Dhananjay Ghosh has been appointed president of the OBC wing, while Biswajit Samanta has been appointed president of the Scheduled Caste wing.
Vande Bharat operating staff to train at IIT Kharagpur
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 25 (IANS) Operational staff of the Vande Bharat trains will soon begin advanced training at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur. The institute has signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Railways Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (IRIMEE), Jamalpur, to strengthen technical capacity in advanced rolling stock technologies. The tie-up, coordinated by IIT Kharagpurs Centre for Railway Research (CRR), will deliver specialised residential training for Indian Railways (IR) officials on semi-high-speed trains. Training modules will cover advanced traction and propulsion systems, electrical safety, Train Control and Management Systems (TCMS), rolling stock diagnostics, condition monitoring, reliability engineering, and regenerative braking. The MoU was signed by Prof Swagata Dasgupta, Dean of Outreach, IIT Kharagpur, and Prem Prakash, Dean, IRIMEE, with Prof Vikranth Racherla, IIT Kharagpur, and Siddharth Shankar, IRIMEE, serving as nodal officers, the institute said. It added that the initiative would combine classroom learning, laboratory experiments, hands-on exposure, and field visits to contribute to safer, smarter, more reliable, and increasingly indigenous railway technologies. IR currently operates 79 Vande Bharat trains across various routes, with plans to introduce more in the near future. The railways also run a Vande Bharat sleeper train between Howrah and Kamakhya (Assam). As more sleeper trains are built, additional staff will be needed to operate and maintain them. Officials said on-board staff would need the expertise to identify problems in advanced systems and the capability to rectify them, particularly for sleeper trains running longer routes. IR has plans to acquire 260 Vande Bharat sleeper trainsets, 60 of which are under construction. In addition, a prototype of a Vande Bharat freight train is undergoing trials. Unlike normal rakes that require locomotives, Vande Bharat trainsets comprise several carriages fitted with electric traction motors. Each carriage can power itself and two others without motors, resulting in a complex setup. The trains also use high-end control technology, making advanced training essential for operators.

IGPL: Varun Chopras final-day charge wins him title at IDPL Invitational
Digital Desk | Ras Al Khaimah, Sep 25 (IANS) Varun Chopra, who started the final day of the IGPL Invitational three shots behind the 36-hole leader Shiv Kapur, played another solid round of 4-under 68 and beat Kapur in the race to the finish. Chopras superb final-round rally gave him a two-shot win over Kapur, who slipped to 1-over 73 on the final day. Chopra shot rounds of 66-68-68 for a total of 14-under 202. Kapur, after a stunning 62 on the first day, had a 69 on the second, which kept him in a three-shot lead. However, the final day saw the pendulum swing Chopras way and win the title, which also gave the Indian-American the first prize cheque of Rs. 22.50 lakhs. Kapur was left to clutch the second spot at 12-under 204 and received Rs. 15 lakhs. It was Chopras first IGPL title, and earlier this year he won the APGA Tour championship and had done well at the Morocco Rising Stars Marrakech. Sachin Baisoya grabbed third place with a 68 that gave him a total of 8-under, while five players Veer Ganapathy (71), Gaganjeet Bhullar (71), Varun Parikh (71), Aryan Roopa Anand (68) and Tushar Pannu (68) were tied fifth. Chopras fine final day also meant Auro Goa Eagles took a double as they won the team title this week. They totalled 23-under, while Kapur-led RVR Delhi Blue Bulls were pushed to second at 21-under. Sachin Baisoyas final-day push earned his team, Hyderabad Firebird, third place at 13-under. They were tied for third with Flying Man Kolkata, for whom Varun Parikh was the star performer. Chopra began with a birdie start, but his three birdies in a span of four holes between the fifth and the eighth gave him the momentum he needed. Meanwhile, Kapur just could not get the birdies to answer Chopras charge. By the turn, Chopra had moved ahead, and he made no mistakes on the back nine, even as Kapurs putter did not do his bidding. After a 4-under front nine, Chopra birdied the 14th but gave that shot back on the 16th before playing the final two holes in par. That did not prove costly as Kapur was unable to take advantage of that. Shiv Kapur, who had holes everything saw on the first day round of 10-under 62, just could not find any birdies on the final day. He was forced to settle for pars all through, and he also dropped a bogey on the Par-4 12th for a 73. IGPL Debutant Ravi Kumar (70) and young Kanav Chauhan (71) were tied ninth to round off the top-10 finishers
