Ram Mandir remaining construction work to be fully completed by Nov 15: Nripendra Misra
Digital Desk | Ayodhya, Oct 16 (IANS) Ram Mandir Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Misra on Friday said that almost all construction work at the temple complex has been completed, with the remaining work scheduled to be finished by November 15. Speaking to reporters, Misra extended greetings on the upcoming festivals and provided an update on the temple's development, stating that 148 of the approximately 150 construction works within the complex had been completed and handed over to the Ram Mandir Trust. He said L&T, which was responsible for executing the construction work, had to hand over the completed projects to the Trust along with the relevant records, drawings, designs and financial documentation. The Trust's project engineers subsequently inspect the works before approving their handover. Of these 150 works, 148 have been completed and handed over. The major construction work that is yet to be handed over is the Parkota, the temple's perimeter structure, Misra said. Explaining the delay, he said the water treatment work on the Parkota's roof was still pending. Continuous rainfall in Ayodhya over the past three days has affected the pace of construction, delaying the work. However, he expressed confidence that the remaining work would be completed by November 15. Lighting work is currently underway in the temple and the Parkota. That will be completed by November 15, he said, adding that the recent developments observed at the site were related to the temple complex's ongoing construction. Misra also provided updates on other projects in Ayodhya. He said the Martyrs' Memorial had been completed and that he had inspected it on Thursday. Only minor horticulture and landscaping work remained at the site. Regarding the Madhavacharya Gate, he said approximately 80 per cent of the construction work had been completed. Misra added that he was scheduled to inspect the site to assess the progress. The committee chairman's update comes as work continues on the remaining infrastructure, finishing and lighting arrangements at the Ram Mandir complex, with November 15 set as the deadline for completing the pending tasks.

Gujarat girl selected among 20 students nationwide for satellite technology mission
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Oct 15 (IANS) A Class 11 student from Gujarats Mahisagar district has been selected among 20 students from across India for 'Mission ShaktiSAT', a space science initiative that has provided her with practical training in satellite coding, design and assembly. Vipa Bariya, who hails from Padhara village in Kadana taluka, is the only female student selected from Gujarat for the mission. She studies in the Science stream at Eklavya Model Residential School in Vejalpur, near Godhra, and aspires to become a pilot or an astronaut. Organised by Space Kidz India, Mission ShaktiSAT brought together around 12,000 female students from 108 countries. As part of the programme, Vipa attended a 10-day international workshop at Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, from August 22 to 31, where she received hands-on training in satellite coding, design and assembly alongside participants from other countries. She was also presented with a special award and trophy at the event. I have been interested in space science and satellite technology since childhood. Being selected for Mission ShaktiSAT and getting the opportunity to visit ISRO feels like a dream come true, Vipa said. During the first phase of the competition, she completed all 21 modules, comprising 550 lessons, within the stipulated time with guidance from her schoolteachers. Vipa is scheduled to participate in a space technology event organised by Viasat in New Delhi from October 26 to 28. She may also get an opportunity to visit the Indian Space Research Organisations space centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh after the satellite launch date is finalised. According to Vipa, the mission involves two satellites, one intended to land on the Moons surface and the other to orbit the Moon. Her interest in space science has been encouraged by her father, Gulabbhai Bariya, who teaches Mathematics and Environmental Studies to students of Classes 3 to 5 at a primary school. Her schoolteacher and mentor, Deepika Sharma, has also guided her in developing her skills and pursuing her ambitions. Vipas selection comes as residential schools for tribal students seek to expand access to science and technology education and opportunities in specialised fields. Eklavya Model Residential Schools provide education to students from tribal communities, including those in remote areas. The Gujarat government said the initiative was part of efforts to improve educational opportunities for tribal children in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modis vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Tribal Development Minister Naresh Patel, the states Tribal Development Department is implementing schemes aimed at improving the quality of education and access to modern learning facilities. For Vipa, the programme has offered an opportunity to pursue her longstanding interest in space technology beyond the classroom, with further participation in space-related activities expected in the coming weeks.

Abortion, voter ID and more: These ballot measures could reshape state laws
The battle for control of Congress is getting the lion's share of the attention in the lead-up to the midterms, but there are a lot of other consequential measures that'll appear on ballots this November that could have a direct impact on voters' lives. Ballot measures often don't receive much national attention, but every two years, voters across the country decide whether to adopt policies that have major implications for their states. This year is no different. There are more than 140 total measures collectively across 40 states this year. Many touch on some of the biggest issues in U.S. politics, including abortion, transgender rights, voting and the democratic process itself. Ballot measures can give the people a way to directly alter the laws in their states instead of relying solely on their elected representatives to create policy on their behalf. In some cases, they provide an opportunity for voters to endorse or reject something their state legislature wants to do. In other cases, regular citizens can get their preferred policy on the ballot directly through a signature-gathering campaign. Here's a rundown of some of the major measures on statewide ballots this year. Abortion The Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn the nationwide abortion protections established by Roe v. Wade instantly turned abortion access into a state-by-state issue. It also led to a flurry of ballot measures across the country in which voters were asked to decide whether their states should protect or restrict abortion rights. In the years since, voters have generally come down in favor of protecting abortion rights. Yahoo That trend will get another test this year due to abortion-related measures in four states. In Idaho , voters will decide whether to overturn their state's strict abortion restrictions and establish a right to reproductive freedom and privacy, including abortion until fetal viability. If the measure passes, Idaho will become the latest red state where voters have used a ballot initiative to expand abortion rights. One of those red states is Missouri , where voters approved a measure in 2024 that struck down some of the nation's most restrictive abortion laws. A Republican-backed measure on this year's ballot would repeal that 2024 amendment and allow strict abortion restrictions to be put back into place. The same measure would also create new limits on gender-affirming care in the state. Two other states that already have relatively permissive laws around abortion access Nevada and Virginia are voting on measures that would enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions, a step that would make it much harder to restrict access in the future. Transgender policy The debate over transgender rights, particularly when it comes to minors, has become a central issue in American politics. It should be no surprise, then, that a number of states have measures related to the topic on the ballot this year. All of them would impose new limits on transgender rights. Four states Washington , Nebraska , Arizona and Colorado will vote on measures that would ban trans athletes from participating on sports teams that match their gender identity. There are some important differences from state to state, though. The proposals in Washington and Nebraska would only apply to girls' and women's teams. Colorado's and Arizona's would apply to both male and female teams. Washington's bill also includes a stipulation that would require all K-12 students, whether they identify as trans or not, who want to play girls' or women's sports to have their sex verified by a doctor . Arizona's measure would also ban schools from allowing trans minors or adults to access bathrooms, locker rooms or other private spaces designated for a sex that doesn't match the one they were assigned at birth. A separate initiative in Colorado would ban gender-affirming surgeries for minors. Missouri's measure would go even further. In addition to banning the surgeries, it would also prohibit minors from receiving other forms of gender-affirming care, like hormone therapy and puberty blockers. Voter ID Six states will vote on measures related to voter ID. Those in California, Colorado and Nevada would either establish or expand laws requiring voters to show ID when they cast their ballots. Each of the proposals would also require voter ID for mail-in ballots. Arizona, Ohio and North Carolina already have strict voter ID requirements in place under state law, but measures in each state would add or expand those requirements in their state constitutions. Schools Schools have been a major flash point for culture war battles in recent years. A handful of measures on the ballot in November will ask voters to weigh in on some of those debates. Arizona and Wisconsin both have measures that would ban affirmative action in schools and all other government agencies. Alabama has a pair of proposals. One would require public schools to play the national anthem at least once a week. The other would make the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance a daily requirement and mandate school boards to adopt policies that allow student-led prayer. Fuse via Getty Images A sweeping parental rights initiative in Washington would give parents of public school students substantially more oversight over the education their children receive, including the power to review curricula and textbooks. It would also put strict new limits on the kinds of medical care schools can provide without parental notification and roll back changes to the state's parental rights law that protected against discrimination and bullying in schools. The ballot initiative process Ballot measures frequently center on contentious political issues, but in recent years, the initiative process itself has increasingly become the subject of political debate. Five states will vote on measures that would make it harder for citizen-led ballot initiatives to become law. They would accomplish that by either raising the share of the vote certain measures need to get approved or restricting the subjects that initiatives can address. Voters in California and Utah will consider measures that would require certain initiatives that would raise taxes to receive more than the simple majority of support they currently need to be successful. California's would raise the bar for voter-proposed local special taxes to two-thirds of the vote. Utah's would set the new standard for tax-related citizen initiatives at 60%. North Dakota and South Dakota both have measures that would require any attempt to change their state constitutions to get 60% of the vote. Voters cast their ballots at a polling location inside the Candia Youth Athletic Association during a primary election in Candia, N.H. Mel Musto/Bloomberg via Getty Images Changing the threshold for success by 10 percentage points may not sound like a huge deal, but it is often the difference between a proposal becoming law and being rejected. For example, initiatives in Florida that would have legalized abortion and recreational marijuana use both received majority support from voters in 2024, but neither became law because they fell short of the state's 60% approval standard. Idaho has a measure on the ballot that would ban initiatives aimed at legalizing marijuana, psychedelics and other narcotics. If it passes, only the state legislature would have the power to legalize or decriminalize those substances. Another two states will decide on measures designed to protect the initiative process. A proposal in Montana would amend the state's constitution to guarantee citizens' rights to pursue ballot initiatives and make it harder for the government to interfere with measures approved by voters. In Missouri , voters will weigh in on a measure that would prohibit the state's Republican-led legislature from weakening the initiative process. It would also bar it from amending or repealing any measures that have passed unless 80% of both chambers agree to put the change before voters. Other notable initiatives There are many pivotal ballot initiatives being considered across the country that don't fit neatly into a specific category. Here are a few of them. Alaska voters will decide whether to repeal their state's recently adopted ranked-choice voting system. A proposal in Arizona would ban new traffic cameras without direct voter approval. Nebraska will choose whether to legalize online sports betting . Vermont will consider a measure that would ban discrimination based on gender identity. Virginia will decide if people convicted of felonies should have their right to vote restored once they're released from prison. A measure in Wisconsin would prohibit the government from closing places of worship during public health emergencies. Massachusetts will consider whether recreational marijuana sales should once again be made illegal. A proposal on the ballot in North Dakota would require all public schools to provide free breakfast and lunch. Lower-stakes but still noteworthy measures under consideration include a Colorado initiative that would enshrine the right to hunt and fish in the state constitution and a request for Idaho voters to select an official state gun .

Congress lacks clarity on SIR, alleges Karnataka BJP MP Poojary
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 13 (IANS) Karnataka BJP MP, Kota Srinivas Poojary on Tuesday alleged that the Congress and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, lacked clarity on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that they were creating confusion and obstructing constitutionally mandated institutions from carrying out their duties. Speaking to the media at the BJP state headquarters, Jagannath Bhavan, in Malleshwaram, Poojary criticised Congress leaders for questioning the judiciary while also approaching the Supreme Court over the issue. He said the KPCC president had alleged that the Supreme Court and its judges were working like BJP spokespersons, while the Kerala Congress had also criticised Supreme Court judges. On the one hand, they make such statements against the judiciary, and on the other, they talk about approaching the Supreme Court on SIR. This reflects their confused mindset, he alleged. Poojary accused the Congress of speaking about protecting the Constitution while making statements that, according to him, amounted to contempt of court and disparagement of the Supreme Court. He also alleged that the Congress was unnecessarily blaming the Union government and obstructing its work. He said the party had failed in its role as the Opposition and urged it to introspect rather than make statements that could mislead the public. On the Karnataka High Courts decision to quash the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), Poojary urged the state government to challenge the verdict in the Supreme Court and present a strong legal defence. He said the reservation had been increased during the tenure of former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai based on the report of retired Justice Nagamohan Das, taking into account the population of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The decision was subsequently challenged in the High Court. If proper arguments are presented in the Supreme Court, the enhanced reservation can be protected. The Congress government in the state should work in this direction, he said. Commenting on the appointment of the new Governor of Karnataka, Poojary welcomed the decision and described the appointee as an experienced person who had served in various capacities, including the National Commission for Backward Classes. He said the appointment of a woman as Governor was welcome and expressed hope that her experience would benefit Karnataka and help strengthen democracy in the state. He said drought had caused hardship to both people and livestock and urged ministers and legislators to prioritise relief measures.

Leopard Sighting Causes Alarm in Tamil Nadus Nilgiris District
A leopard sighting near Kotagiri has raised concerns among residents in Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, prompting calls for swift action from wildlife authorities. Leopard Sighting Causes Alarm in Tamil Nadus Nilgiris District
TN: Leopard video sparks fear near Kotagiri in Nilgiris; residents seek action
Digital Desk | Nilgiris, Oct 11 (IANS) A leopard filmed walking through a residential neighbourhood in Orasolai village near Kotagiri in Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris district has triggered alarm among residents, who have appealed to the Forest Department to intervene and drive the animal back into the forest. The surveillance footage shows the leopard moving along a road in front of a house and continuing through the settlement. Its circulation on social media has heightened anxiety in the village, where residents say leopards and bears frequently venture into inhabited areas. Residents have sought action to prevent a dangerous encounter, pointing to the animals movement close to homes. The account of the latest sighting does not mention any injuries or an attack on people. The concern comes against the backdrop of fatal leopard attacks in Tamil Nadus plantation belts, particularly in the Nilgiris and Valparai, where several victims have been children from families of estate workers. In the Nilgiris, three-year-old Nancy was killed on January 6, 2024, at a tea estate in the Bitherkad forest range near Pandalur. She was returning home with her mother when the leopard attacked. The incident followed the death of Saritha, who suffered injuries in an attack at Elamanna on December 21, 2023, and died on December 29. Forest personnel subsequently captured a leopard linked to the Pandalur attacks and transferred it to the rescue centre at Arignar Anna Zoological Park near Chennai. Valparai in Coimbatore district has also witnessed fatal attacks. A girl identified as Apsara was killed at a tea estate in October 2024. In June 2025, four-year-old Roshini Kumari was taken by a leopard near her home at Pachamalai estate; her body was recovered the following morning after an extensive search. Another child, five-year-old Saiful Alam, was killed at Iyerpadi tea estate near Valparai in December 2025 while playing outside workers quarters. Elsewhere in Tamil Nadu, leopard attacks have affected livestock. In July 2025, a leopard killed two calves and injured another near Hasanur in Erode district, close to the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve. These incidents provide a troubling backdrop to the Orasolai sighting, although there is no evidence connecting the leopard in the video to any previous attack. The villagers appeal is for the Forest Department to address the animals presence near their homes and prevent an encounter that could endanger residents or the leopard.

Philippines condemns intrusion by Chinese militia vessel, 22 sampans into Kota Island waters
Digital Desk | Manila, Oct 10 (IANS) The Philippines National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS) on Saturday strongly condemned the intrusion of a Chinese maritime militia vessel and 22 sampans (small wooden boats) into the territorial sea of Kota Island in the West Philippine Sea, saying Chinas claim over the area has no basis under international law. The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS) strongly condemns the intrusion of Chinese Maritime Militia Vessel 9622 and its 22 deployed sampans into the territorial sea of Kota Island on 09 October 2026, the task force said in a statement. The Chinese vessels engaged in unauthorised fishing and reportedly dumped waste at sea, with one sampan approaching as close as 250 metres from the islands shoreline, the statement said. When Philippine Coast Guard personnel, supported by the Philippine Marine Corps and the Philippine Navy, moved to address the intrusion, the Chinese mothership manoeuvred around and encircled their boats, while its master brazenly claimed the area as Chinese territory and directed the Philippine team to leave, it mentioned. The NTF-WPS said Kota Island is an integral part of the Municipality of Kalayaan in Palawan province and its territorial sea is under Philippine sovereignty. The Chinese vessels unauthorised fishing activities violate Philippine laws, including Republic Act No. 12064 (Philippine Maritime Zones Act) and Republic Act No. 8550 (Philippine Fisheries Code), as amended by RA No. 10654. Chinas claim over the area has no basis under international law, the statement said. The task force commended the Philippine Coast Guard, the Marine Corps and the Navy for their firm, coordinated and professional response, which led to the departure of all Chinese vessels from the islands territorial sea. This incident is particularly concerning because it involves the same Chinese maritime militia vessel that deployed 24 sampans near the island on 28 September 2026. Such repeated incursions underscore the need for sustained vigilance and a clear, consistent response to attempts to challenge Philippine sovereignty, it said. The NTF-WPS said it would continue to support the Coast Guard and other agencies in protecting Philippine territory and maritime rights. Repeated intrusions, coercive manoeuvres, and baseless assertions of sovereignty will not be allowed to become normalised in Philippine waters. The Philippines will continue to respond firmly, lawfully, and resolutely to protect its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national interests in the West Philippine Sea, the task force added.

Festive auto demand strong, but rising input costs may squeeze margins: Kotak
India's automobile sector is heading into the festive season with strong demand momentum, but rising raw material costs could put pressure on manufacturers' profitability despite higher vehicle sales, claimed a report by Kotak Institutional Equities. In its automobile and components sector earnings preview, Kotak said strong retail demand following GST cuts has supported vehicle production across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers and commercial vehicles. However, higher steel, rubber and crude-linked costs are expected to weigh on operating margins. The report stated, RM cost spikes overshadow healthy topline growth. Kotak expects revenues of most automobile manufacturers under its coverage to increase by around 29 per cent year-on-year in the September quarter of FY27, supported by higher sales volumes, vehicle price increases and a favourable product mix. However, operating margins are expected to decline by around 200 basis points year-on-year, even as revenues rise. The report att...

2nd T20I: 'You can't beat experience' - Sitanshu Kotak decodes Bhuvneshwar Kumars T20I comeback
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 8 (IANS) Highlighting that one can't beat experience in international cricket, India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumars sustained form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and rich experience of playing in overseas conditions were potentially behind his being given a call-up for the upcoming T20I series in New Zealand. Bhuvneshwar earned his India T20I recall on the back of a sensational IPL 2026 campaign, where he spearheaded Royal Challengers Bengaluru's successful title defence with a 28-wicket haul. He finished as the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2026 and missed the Purple Cap to Kagiso Rabada by just a solitary scalp. Bhuvneshwars last appearance in international cricket came during a T20I in New Zealand in November 2022. Across 87 T20Is for India, Bhuvneshwar has bagged 90 wickets at an average of 23.10 while maintaining an impressive economy rate of 6.96. See, one thing obviously is selectors picked it, but still I can give you an answer on what I think because in England, I also personally felt that with Bumrah not being around and all the new bowlers - like young bowlers were playing, and we all know that you can't beat experience. You see, they also are good and performing well and getting selected. But at some stage you also need some experience. So, I am just thinking that might be one reason. Another thing is Bhuvneshwar has been doing really well in IPL for the last two seasons. So, selectors must have thought that for New Zealand conditions and all, and obviously he has been doing well and we need some experience. They must have picked him. That's what I can think of unless you can think something different, Kotak said in a press conference on the eve of the second T20I against the West Indies in Ranchi. Reiterating that the selection doors for the senior squad remain open for any player, including senior pacer Mohammed Shami, Kotak said, First of all, I am not a selector. So, it is difficult for me to tell you that. But Shami is also playing, and he is also doing well. If selectors feel that he is doing well and the team has a requirement, then any player can be selected. Commenting on the Centre of Excellence (CoE), head VVS Laxman, set to be a regular fixture in senior mens selection committee meetings, Kotak gave a sneak peek into the meticulous efforts of him stepping up for the senior team's requirements. See, I honestly don't know. I also came to know what you just said: that any injury-related update will be sent by Laxman sir. So, I believe that the decision taken by BCCI is done purposefully. I have worked with VVS Laxman in CoE for 3 years. He is so particular that whenever I was there, he used to tell us that if the Indian team has any requirement, then our first duty is to do it. It's a different thing, but sometimes we used to take leave to go home. At such a time, if any Indian player is important and the Indian team wants him immediately, then he used to say, 'Kotak yaar, leave this week or for 1-2 weeks, as we have to get him ready. Leave after the player is ready.' So, this is how committed he is. So, whatever role he will be in, I am sure that he will think of the best for Indian cricket. Moreover, Kotak refuted any notion of disassociation between the senior team management and the development unit, saying that the head coach Gautam Gambhir and Laxman remain in constant touch. See, I personally have no idea. But I have this much idea that Gautam and Laxman always stay in touch. So, I have this much idea about them. Rest of the other things, I don't know. If there is any need, then Gautam speaks to Laxman. If anything is left from there, that is a normal procedure, which I have always seen. So, there is nothing new in that, he concluded.
