AAP First List For Punjab Polls: CM Mann To Defend Dhuri, Jailed Minister Sanjeev Arora Gets Ticket
AAPs Punjab list has released 40 candidates, but it has also revealed the partys biggest political dilemma. The party wants to project stability, yet it cannot ignore anti-incumbency. Bhagwant Mann will contest from Dhuri again, while Sanjeev Arora gets the Ludhiana West ticket despite being in jail. AAP says Aroras arrest by the ED is political vendetta and refuses to abandon him. That may energise party workers, but it gives the opposition ammunition. The list includes several prominent ministers, speakers and sitting MLAs. However, the remaining 77 seats are still pending. AAP may be relying on surveys to decide which incumbents survive. The party currently has 94 MLAs in the 117-member House. Congress has 16, SAD three and BJP two. AAP has the numbers. The 2027 election will determine whether it still has the narrative.

Punjab records 1,007 stubble-burning cases; Tarn Taran tops list with 397 incidents
Digital Desk | Patiala, Oct 30 (IANS) Punjab has recorded 1,007 stubble-burning incidents during the ongoing paddy harvesting season, with Tarn Taran district accounting for the highest number of cases, followed by Amritsar and Ferozepur, according to the district-wise report of the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB). Tarn Taran reported 397 cases, accounting for nearly 39 per cent of the total incidents recorded across the state. Amritsar stood second with 171 cases, while Ferozepur ranked third with 104 incidents. The three districts together accounted for 672 cases, indicating a concentration of stubble-burning incidents in these areas. According to the PPCB report, Gurdaspur recorded 72 cases, followed by Kapurthala with 63, Bathinda with 31, Fazilka with 28, Jalandhar with 22 and Faridkot with 21 incidents. Patiala and Hoshiarpur recorded 16 and 12 cases, respectively. Sangrur also reported 12 incidents, while Fatehgarh Sahib recorded 11. Muktsar reported nine cases, followed by Moga, Barnala and SAS Nagar with seven each. Ludhiana recorded six incidents, Malerkotla five, SBS Nagar three, Rupnagar two and Pathankot one. No stubble-burning incident was recorded in Mansa in the report. The report further stated that of the 1,007 incidents reported across Punjab, officials had inspected 778 locations. Stubble burning was confirmed at 379 locations following the inspections. Additionally, 26 fields were found to have traces of stubble burning by PPF and nodal officers. As part of enforcement measures, environmental compensation was imposed in 349 cases. The total penalty imposed stood at Rs 17.50 lakh, of which Rs 13.15 lakh had been recovered, the report stated. A total of 246 FIRs have also been registered in connection with stubble-burning incidents, while red entries have been made in the revenue records of 297 fields. The authorities have issued 426 warnings and show-cause notices to nodal and supervisory officers in connection with the incidents. However, the report recorded zero figures for prosecution action under Section 14 of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) Act, filing of chargesheets and suspension of officials. In Patiala district, 16 stubble-burning cases have been reported so far. Officials inspected 14 locations and confirmed burning at seven of them. Environmental compensation was imposed in six cases in the district, amounting to Rs 35,000, of which Rs 20,000 has been recovered. The report provides cumulative figures for the ongoing season up to October 29 and does not contain a separate district-wise breakdown of fresh incidents reported during the preceding 24 hours. Therefore, the district recording the highest number of new cases during that period cannot be established from these figures. With the paddy harvesting season underway, the state authorities are continuing inspections and enforcement measures to curb stubble burning, which contributes to air pollution during the post-monsoon period.

Punjab BJP demands early Assembly polls (Lead)
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 29 (IANS) Punjab BJP leader Sunil Jakhar has written to the Governor, urging him to recommend to the Election Commission that the Model Code of Conduct be enforced in the state at the earliest. Citing Punjabs deteriorating law and order situation, which he said the Bhagwant Mann government had itself now acknowledged, Jakhar said this was necessary to ensure that the forthcoming Assembly elections were peaceful and fair and that people could exercise their right to vote without fear. The former state BJP chief also said the party would soon approach the Election Commission of India to demand early enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct. He alleged that if the AAP government remained in power any longer, it would worsen the situation to such an extent that holding peaceful and impartial elections in an atmosphere free from fear would become impossible. Speaking to the media here, Jakhar said an anti-drug marathon had been held annually in Abohar for several years, with thousands of young people participating in the campaign against drugs. This year, however, the government had cancelled permission for the marathon in writing, stating that the atmosphere was unfavourable and that the event could not be held because of the poor law and order situation. He said law and order had indeed deteriorated to an extremely alarming level and that no one in the state was safe. While drugs were claiming young lives, he alleged, the terror unleashed by the drug mafia had grown to such an extent that sincere voices speaking out against drugs were being silenced with bullets. He said people were being killed openly across Punjab, from the holy city of Amritsar to Tarn Taran, Khem Karan, Gurdaspur, Hargobindpur, Mansa, Abohar, Sangrur and Ludhiana, in virtually every district and town. Criticising the governments role, he alleged that police were even forcibly taking away the bodies of children who had died due to drugs. Anyone who protested against drugs or expressed their anguish before the government, he said, was either subjected to police repression or driven to suicide. Jakhar attributed these developments to what he described as a deliberate strategy of the AAP government. He said the partys own senior leader, Manish Sisodia, had revealed this approach by stating that they would use every means to win elections persuasion, inducements, punishment, division, confrontation, lies or truth. He alleged that under this strategy the government had appointed pliant officers, while criminals and gangsters were either being inducted into the party or provided protection. He further alleged that the Chief Ministers Office had itself become a hub of corruption and that Punjab was suffering the consequences of this policy.

Data on childhood cancer survival rate set to improve further in 5 years: AIIMS Delhi expert
Digital Desk | Mohali, Oct 24 (IANS) The quality and quantity of information related to childhood cancer survival rate in the country is likely to get better over the next five years due to the big strides taken during the past decade, said Sameer Bakhshi, Professor and Head of Department of Medical Oncology at AIIMS, New Delhi, on Saturday. Addressing the10th Pediatric Haematology Oncology Support Services Conference (PHOSSCON 2026) here, Bakhshi said, Of the information we have today, three-fourths has come in the last 10 years. On a graph, if the information for the last three decades is treated as almost a flat line, it could shoot up sharply in the next five years. Bakhshi shared his experience on challenges related to inadequate data on survival rates in light of his AIIMS teams landmark research that consolidated three decades of Indian childhood cancer survival evidence across 182 studies involving 22,886 children, said a statement. Poonam Bagai, organising chair of all10th PHOSSCON editions and who is a co-author of the AIIMS New Delhi-led study, emphasised the importance of the findings in establishing the evidence needed to track progress towards UNGA 80 resolution for 60 per cent-plus survival for children with cancer by 2030. She said the study shares insights that promise to help policymakers identify gaps and strengthen accountability in India's fight against childhood cancer. Aligning with the Punjab governments objectives, the two-day conference, which began on Saturday at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali, SAS Nagar, is offering a platform for discussions on childhood cancer survival and the evidence needed to improve outcomes. Punjab offered an important example during the discussion. Building on CanKids partnership with the state government since 2017, an Integrated Childhood Cancer Care Framework is being developed with HBCH Mullanpur, AIIMS Bathinda and CMC Ludhiana as key hubs. The session on Towards 60 per cent-plus survival: From Evidence to Action was led by Bagai, Member, ICMR Central Ethics Committee on Human Research, Cankids founder and Childhood Cancer International's WHO South East Asia Region Representative. Bagai led the discussions on the ambition of reaching a childhood cancer survival rate of 60 per cent or more by 2030, highlighting the importance of research, reliable data and collaboration. Reflecting on the journey begun in 2015, Bagai said: Over 10 PHOSSCONs, research, advocacy and healthcare systems have changed. Today, we are asking a bigger question not just how to help children through treatment, but how to help more children survive. Other sessions at the conference focused on access to treatment and financial protection for families; stronger collaboration between society and the medical community; support systems from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship and long-term care and research; and shared learning and future roadmaps for pediatric haematology-oncology support services, the statement said.

Further investigation is underway to establish their wider criminal network and linkages, he added. A day earlier, Amritsar Rural Police busted a drug trafficking, illegal arms, and explosives smuggling network with the arrest of seven individuals, including three juveniles, in two operations and recovered one hand grenade, two .30 bore pistols, along with 29 cartridges and 3.4 kg heroin from their possession.

HM Shah meets family of slain anti-drug activist Vikramjeet Singh in Punjabs Gurdaspur
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 20 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday visited Punjabs Gurdaspur district, bordering Pakistan, to meet the family of Vikramjeet Singh, who was allegedly killed after opposing drug trafficking. The Home Minister spent around 15 minutes with the family. The family, it is learnt, handed him a list of demands, comprising a fair probe, a government job and financial aid. The visit is part of HM Shahs tour of Punjab to meet the families of three individuals whose deaths have drawn attention to the states drug menace. The other planned meetings are with the family of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota in Mansa and the family of Gulzar Singh in Sangrur. Vikramjeet Singh was allegedly shot dead on October 15 in the Mari Pannwan village area under Hargobindpur Sahib in Gurdaspur district. The incident reportedly occurred in the context of opposition to drug sales. HM Shahs visit comes amid growing public concern over drug-related violence and demands for stronger action against those involved in narcotics trafficking. The Union Home Ministry has also sought detailed reports from the Punjab government regarding the recent deaths. During his Punjab visit, HM Shah is also scheduled to attend Dussehra celebrations at Daresi Ground in Ludhiana, where the anti-drug message is expected to feature prominently. The meeting with Vikramjeet Singhs family is part of the Centres engagement with families affected by drug-related violence in Punjab. Ahead of the day-long visit of Home Minister Shah, the AAP government reiterated its support for the family of Parminder Singh Jhota, who has been fighting against drug abuse, and announced that his case will be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in response to the familys demand. We stand firmly with the father and family of Parminder Singh Jhota, who has been fighting against drugs. Respecting the familys demand, we are handing over the case to the CBI, the Chief Minister wrote on X. Responding to the state governments decision, former state BJP President Sunil Jakhar said the government took way too long in issuing the CBI order. The Punjab government has finally been forced to bow before public outrage and hand over the investigation of Parvinder Singh Jhota's murder to the CBI. But this is not just one case. Under the patronage of the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, there have been numerous such incidents where drug traffickers have murdered people for raising their voices against drugs or forced them to commit suicide, Jakhar wrote on X. We request the honorable Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah ji, who is on a visit to Punjab, that now when the CBI investigation begins, it should be conducted on a broader scale and completed within a stipulated timeframe to expose the entire nexus behind it, so that the victims can get complete justice, he added.
Anti-drug activist Jhota murder case: Punjab govt to hand over probe to CBI
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 20 (IANS) Ahead of the day-long visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the state, the AAP government in Punjab on Tuesday reiterated its support for the family of slain anti-drug activist Parminder Singh Jhota, who has been fighting against drug abuse, and announced that his case will be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in response to the familys demand. We stand firmly with the father and family of Parminder Singh Jhota, who has been fighting against drugs. Respecting the familys demand, we are handing over the case to the CBI, the Chief Minister wrote on X. Reaffirming its commitment to tackling the drug menace in Punjab, the government said its fight against drug traffickers would continue with full determination. Our fight against drug traffickers is a decisive one. We will not back down from taking any stringent measures necessary to make Punjab drug-free, he added. Home Minister Shah is visiting Punjab amid growing concern over drug trafficking and drug-related violence, with the death of anti-drug activist Jhota in Mansa bringing the issue into sharp focus. During his visit, HM Shah is scheduled to meet the families of three people whose deaths have drawn attention to the states drug problem. His itinerary includes Mansa, Sangrur and Gurdaspur, followed by Dussehra celebrations in Ludhiana, where an effigy symbolising Chitta, a synthetic drug, is scheduled to be burnt alongside Ravana. The visit comes at a time when the drug menace has become a major political issue in Punjab ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. The Union Home Ministry has also sought detailed reports from the Punjab government regarding three cases linked to the controversy. In Mansa, HM Shah is scheduled to meet the family of Jhota, an anti-drug activist who was shot dead on October 13. His killing has triggered protests and demands for justice, intensifying public debate over the safety of people who speak out against drug trafficking. Jhotas father, Bhim Singh, has expressed support for HM Shahs visit and invited the Union Home Minister to his residence. He has also appealed to HM Shah to meet the family at home rather than at the protest site. The familys demand for justice has become a central issue in the ongoing confrontation surrounding the case. Apart from Mansa, HM Shah is scheduled to visit Mari Panwan village in Gurdaspur district to meet the family of Bikramjit Singh, who was killed on October 15. In Sangrur district, HM Shah is expected to meet the family of Gulzar Singh, who died by suicide on September 7 after an alleged confrontation concerning drug sales in his village and remarks directed at Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema. The circumstances and allegations surrounding the case have become part of the wider political debate. State BJP General Secretary Anil Sareen said the three families HM Shah is scheduled to meet have become symbols of the fight against drugs in Punjab. The BJP has pledged that Punjab will be completely drug-free by December 31, 2029, after the party forms the government in the state. Sareen said HM Shahs visit comes at a time when Punjab is struggling with the devastating impact of drugs, while Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is enjoying himself on a foreign tour. The BJP alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party government has left Punjab to fend for itself, whereas the BJP stands firmly with the affected families.
