Swachh Bharat drive reaches Antarctica as Indian teams launch clean-up campaign
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 3 (IANS) The Swachh Bharat campaign has moved beyond Indias mainland to 12,000 km south, with the winter teams at the Maitri and Bharati stations in Antarctica undertaking a cleanliness and space-optimisation drive even in the extreme environment. The present temperature in Antarctica is around -48 degrees Celsius. Under the Special Campaign for Disposal of Pending Matters (SCDPM) 6 (Special Campaign 6), the Indian winter team of the 45th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica (ISEA) undertook a cleanliness and space-optimisation drive at Maitri and Bharati stations, the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) posted on X. NCPOR added that, even in Antarcticas extreme environment, the commitment to cleaner, organised and better-maintained workplaces remains unwavering. The 45th ISEA was led by Scientific Officer Huidrom Nageshwar Singh from the India Meteorological Department. The winter team at Bharati Station includes three Indian women, comprising two scientists and one medical doctor. The winter crew took over after the summer component wrapped up major operations and projects, including cargo delivery, an international scientific collaboration with UAE scientists from Khalifa University, and the deployment of oceanographic floats. Maitri was set up in 1988 on an ice-free, rocky area on the Schirmacher Oasis. The building was erected on steel stilts and has since stood the test of time. Maitri also serves as a gateway to one of the largest mountain chains in central Dronning Maud Land, located south of Schirmacher. It is an inland station about 100 km from the shore at an elevation of about 50 metres above sea level. It can support 25 persons in the main building during summers as well as winters, and about 40 in the summer facility comprising containerised living modules. The station consists of one main building, a fuel farm, a fuel station, a lake water pump house, a summer camp and a number of smaller containerised modules. The main building offers a regulated power supply, automated heating with hot and cold running water, incinerator toilets, cold storage, a PA system, living, dining and lounge facilities, and containerised laboratory space. Communication is through dedicated satellite channels, providing connectivity for voice, video and data with the Indian mainland. Bharati is located about 3,000 km east of Maitri, at the eastern Stornes Peninsula in Antarctica, approximately 35 metres above sea level. The station, with a very small footprint, was commissioned on March 18, 2012, to facilitate year-round scientific research activity by the Indian Antarctic programme. The station can support 47 personnel on a twin-sharing basis in the main building during summer as well as winter, with an additional 25 accommodated in emergency shelters and summer camps during summer, taking the total capacity to 72. The station consists of one main building, a fuel farm, a fuel station, a seawater pump house, a summer camp and several smaller containerised modules. The main building offers a regulated power supply, automated heating and air conditioning with hot and cold running water, flush toilets, a sauna, cold storage, a PA system, and aesthetically designed living, dining, lounge and laboratory spaces. Communication is through dedicated satellite channels, providing connectivity for voice, video and data with the Indian mainland.

Sarthak Ranjan Returns To Delhi's Ranji Trophy Squad For Season Opener Against Bengal
Opener Sarthak Ranjan: Opener Sarthak Ranjan has earned a recall to the Delhi Ranji Trophy squad after eight years as the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) named a 16-member contingent for their Elite Group C opening game against Bengal. The selection committee met at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday to finalise the squad for the season opener, set to be played on October 11 in Kalyani. The meeting was attended by selectors K.

Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni continues at the helm as captain, with former India U-19 World Cup-winning skipper Yash Dhull named as his deputy. The headline inclusion, though, is Sarthak, son of politician Pappu Yadav and Ranjeet Ranjan, who returns to Delhi's red-ball setup for the first time since 2018, when he last featured in two Ranji Trophy matches. Sarthak's recall follows him having a stint with Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL earlier this year. Delhi's pace attack will be led by fast bowler Navdeep Saini, with Simarjeet Singh, Money Grewal, and Divij Mehra as other options. Off-spinner Hrithik Shokeen and left-arm spinner Sumit Mathur will anchor the spin-bowling department, alongside Badonis off-spin. The squad features three wicketkeeping options in Anuj Rawat, Pranav Rajvanshi, and Tejasvi Dahiya. Sanat Sangwan, whos playing the Irani Cup clash for Rest of India against Jammu & Kashmir in Srinagar, along with Ayush Doseja, Dev Lakra, and Dhruv Kaushik round off the rest of the squad members.

Delhi last won the Ranji Trophy in 2007/08 and under new head coach Dahiya, they will be aiming to get into the knockouts, something which hasnt happened in the last two seasons. The squad features three wicketkeeping options in Anuj Rawat, Pranav Rajvanshi, and Tejasvi Dahiya.

In many ways, it was a historic occasion. Brazil hadn't faced a team as lower ranked than India in 28 years. India hadn't gone up against a team as higher ranked as Brazil since rankings were introduced in August 1993. It helps significantly that Kolkata raves over Brazil (and Argentina).

Heading to the match, the general expectations was Brazil to create a flurry of chances and test Indias defence. Multiple goals were expected and even though that assumption turned true, but Brazil were far from producing their best brand of football . They lacked character and some may argue that it saved India from a humiliation. However, the other side of the coin can read that India were very well organsied defensively and threatened Brazil on multiple occasions, which no one expected.

Bengal: ER inaugurates biogas plant on Swachh Bharat Diwas
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 2 (IANS) As part of its ongoing Swachhata campaign and to mark Gandhi Jayanti, Eastern Railway (ER) inaugurated a biogas plant under the Sealdah Division on Friday. The day is also observed as Swachh Bharat Diwas. The plant will not only be a source of green, non-polluting fuel, but will also help in the disposal of organic waste generated at railway establishments. The biogas plant was inaugurated by ER General Manager Gitika Pandey at the Narkeldanga barracks of the Railway Protection Force (RPF). Officials described it as a significant milestone towards a cleaner and greener future. The plant has been built at an estimated railway-funded project cost of nearly Rs 25 lakh and underscores ER's commitment under its Environment & Housekeeping Management initiative to transform organic waste into clean cooking energy for a sustainable future. The project is designed to process 250 kg of organic waste every day and generate about 8-10 m of methane-rich biogas daily. The plant will source segregated vegetable and food waste as feedstock directly from Sealdah station, the Sealdah railway colony at Narkeldanga, and B.R. Singh Hospital. The facility operates through a structured five-step mechanism, an official said. He explained that the process starts with waste collection, followed by shredding, where the machine breaks waste into fine particles for faster and more complete digestion. The waste then undergoes aerobic and anaerobic digestion in a two-chamber digester tank before passing through filtration and smart metering protected by a relief valve. Finally, a booster pump increases gas pressure before deployment. According to the official, the plant has the capacity to generate the equivalent of about 90-110 domestic cylinders annually. The fuel will be piped to the kitchen of the barracks. The nutrient-rich slurry by-product, which could amount to 73 tonnes per year, will nourish local plantations as organic manure, thereby reducing the use of chemical fertilisers, the official added. He said this would lead to lower carbon dioxide emissions and prevent the open dumping of methane through a transparent, smart-meter-monitored circular-economy model that can be replicated across other stations and colonies. The Liluah Workshop of ER also has a biogas plant. More such plants will come up at other locations. Shibram Majhi, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO), ER, said the biogas plant reflects the railway zone's strong commitment to waste-to-energy solutions and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Bengal Minister seeks Mamata Banerjees arrest over ED claims in Indranil Sen probe
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 2 (IANS) A political controversy erupted in West Bengal on Friday after Labour Minister Arjun Singh demanded the arrest of former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, citing an Enforcement Directorate (ED) statement claiming that Rs 30 lakh was transferred to her from the bank account of Octave Records, a proprietorship concern of former state minister Indranil Sen, who is under investigation in connection with alleged money laundering cases. The people of Bengal know that Mamata Banerjee made her nephew a money-making machine. The former Chief Minister was very much a part of the game. Now everything is coming out in the open, Singh told reporters. He alleged that Mamata Banerjee had damaged the state's finances during her tenure and said she should be arrested. The comments came after the ED issued a statement on Thursday naming Mamata Banerjee and former West Bengal Tourism Minister Indranil Sen in connection with an investigation into a money laundering case separate from the Mass Art case, in which the organisation had been accused of selling Durga Puja preview show passes in 2024 and 2025. Sen is already under the ED scanner in connection with the Mass Art case. The latest matter relates to the ED's investigation into Sen's proprietorship concern, Octave Records. According to the ED statement, during Sen's tenure as Tourism Minister in a Trinamool Congress government led by Mamata Banerjee, multiple tenders worth more than Rs 85 crore from the state Tourism and Cultural Affairs Departments were allegedly awarded to entities owned by Dhrubajyoti Bose and Dipesh Roy, who were described as close associates of Sen. The agency alleged that these entities subsequently transferred large sums of money to businesses controlled by relatives of Indranil Sen. It also claimed that substantial cash withdrawals were made from the accounts of the entities that secured those tenders. In the same statement, the ED claimed that its investigation revealed that more than Rs 3.3 crore in cash had been deposited in the bank accounts of Sen and his proprietorship concern, Octave Records. The agency further claimed that nearly Rs 30 lakh was transferred from the bank account of Octave Records to Mamata Banerjee through banking channels. According to the ED statement, Indranil Sen stated that the amount was paid as royalty. Singh's demand for Mamata Banerjees arrest was based on the contents of the ED statement. However, Trinamool Congress MLA from Beliaghata Assembly constituency Kunal Ghosh came out in defence of Mamata Banerjee. The money that went to Mamata Banerjees account from Sen's organisation was completely legal and is reflected in income tax records, Ghosh said. He said Mamata Banerjee had been writing and composing songs for many years and that Sens organisation had commercially marketed those songs. According to Ghosh, the payments received by Mamata Banerjee were royalty payments arising from those works. He alleged that there was an attempt to politically malign the former Chief Minister.
Bengal CM explains decision to retain Bhabanipur seat
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 2 (IANS) West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday explained why he chose to retain the Bhabanipur Assembly constituency in South Kolkata instead of his original constituency, Nandigram, in East Midnapore, after winning simultaneously from both constituencies in the West Bengal Assembly elections earlier this year. Had I not retained Bhabanipur, then the bypoll would have been for Bhabanipur and not Nandigram. In that case, the Trinamool Congress candidate whom I defeated would have contested from Bhabanipur in the bypoll, CM Adhikari said at Nandigram while campaigning for Hasirani Rath, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the bypoll there, which is scheduled for Oct 6. In the Assembly elections earlier this year, Adhikari, as a BJP candidate, was elected simultaneously from Nandigram and Bhabanipur. At Bhabanipur, he defeated his predecessor and former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee by a margin of over 15,000 votes. Later, he retained Bhabanipur, necessitating a bypoll for Nandigram. Speaking on the occasion, he also appealed to the voters of Nandigram to vote in such a manner that the deposits of the principal opposition parties are forfeited. The sin committed by Trinamool Congress has crossed all limits. So, Oct 6, the polling day, will be the day to teach them a lesson, the Chief Minister said. Referring to the assassination of his former personal assistant, late Chandranath Rath, who was killed on a public road at Madhyamgram in North 24 Parganas district on May 6 this year, and whose mother is Hasirani Rath, CM Adhikari urged voters to respond democratically. The voters of Nandigram will have to take a democratic revenge on Oct 6 for the murder of Chandranath Rath merely for being my assistant, CM Adhikari said. Speaking on the occasion, he also referred to the recent arrest of Sumit Roy, the executive assistant of Trinamool Congress General Secretary and the partys Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha member, Abhishek Banerjee, on charges of corruption. Sumit Roy has already been arrested on charges of corruption. Now a bigger thief will be behind bars soon, the Chief Minister said, without clarifying whom he was indicating as the bigger thief.
Bengal: SER announces 19 pairs of special trains for festive rush
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 2 (IANS) With the festive season approaching, South Eastern Railway (SER) has announced a number of special trains to clear the passenger rush. These trains will be run between various locations before Durga Puja, Diwali and Chhath for the convenience of passengers. Coaches have also been added to regular trains to increase capacity. SER will run 19 pairs of special trains. These will make 344 trips during the festival season. In addition, one pair of special trains operated by other zonal railways will also run through SER's network. We have also added 30 coaches permanently to various trains, further enhancing passenger-carrying capacity and strengthening the availability of accommodation on regular services, an official said. The special trains will originate from stations such as Shalimar, Santragachi, Digha, Ranchi, Hatia and Adityapur, and will run towards Charlapalli, Visakhapatnam, Khurda Road, Ajmer, Naharlagun, Puri, Thiruvananthapuram, Malda Town, Anand Vihar, Bano, Alipurduar, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Lucknow. A lot of planning was involved, the official said, adding that reservation details had been studied to understand where people from a particular place wanted to travel. The trains were decided accordingly. SER had run 19 special train services during the festive season in 2025. These trains had made 356 trips. Subsequently, eight pairs of these special trains were regularised as permanent services, providing passengers with continued connectivity beyond the festival season. In addition, 28 special trains from other zones passed through SER's jurisdiction. In 2025, as many as 74 coaches were augmented on a permanent basis on various regular trains to meet the additional demand. These arrangements will help those travelling to tourist destinations during the festival season, as well as those returning home from their places of occupation, the official said. He added: Hopefully, these arrangements will be sufficient. If required, further arrangements can be made depending on demand.
