Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 22 (IANS) JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon has said that Indias economy could nearly triple in size over the next decade, highlighting plans to expand the company's footprint in the country. Dimon said the bank expects a sharp rise in its India coverage and operations over the next decade, saying that therell be 400 companies in research, with 2,000 companies being covered, according to reports. Dimon said JPMorgan plans to work closely with the government and Indian businesses, underlining the rapid expansion of the company's India operations since 2005 when he first visited the country, reports CNBC-TV18. JP Morgan had only 6,000 employees in 2025, and the company now employs 60,000 professionals across lots of technical areas, investment banking, he said. The US-based investment bank currently covers nearly 200 Indian companies through its research operations, while also working with multinational corporations and Indian companies looking to expand overseas. The CEO also urged New Delhi and Washington to finalise a trade agreement, stressing consistency in trade and investment rules. I would like to see it finished, Dimon said, urging the two governments to sit down and try to finish it. Dimon also flagged that the global economy faces several threats such as persistent inflation, elevated government borrowing, geopolitical tensions and rising demand for capital. He predicted that interest rates and bond yields could remain higher for longer. Artificial intelligence-related infrastructure and remilitarisation could push demand for capital higher, and the odds of them going higher is more than other people think, Dimon said. AI investment surge could eventually boost productivity and create deflationary pressures, he said, adding that spending across the hyperscaler ecosystem could reach around $1 trillion next year, compared with about $700 billion this year.

Jeetendra says hes more Maharashtrian than Punjabi, vows to visit Bappa till death
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 22 (IANS) Veteran superstar Jeetendra on Tuesday visited Pune for Ganpati darshan and spoke about his deep-rooted connection with Maharashtra. He recalled his childhood memories of celebrating the festival and his struggling days before becoming an actor. Speaking to IANS at the venue, Jeetendra said he believes that Bappa calls him to visit and that he could not miss the darshan despite not keeping well. See, number one, Bappa calls me, I don't come, that's number one. And second thing is, his love, Nimbalkarji's (organiser) love, affection, he remembers me, he calls me, he calls me with a lot of love. And I feel good to come for him. Today I am not well, but I can't go wrong. Asked about his wish from Bappa, the actor said he wants to remain physically independent for as long as he lives. I want to walk on two legs till I die. This is my only prayer. I want to come to visit Bappa till I die even if it means coming on a stretcher. On what he prayed for his children, Jeetendra said, Peace of children, love, affection of people and good health, that's all I asked for. The actor then recalled his childhood and said Ganpati celebrations had been an integral part of his life. He revealed that he lived in a four-storey building where around 100 families resided and that he was the only Punjabi among the largely Maharashtrian and Konkani residents. He also added that at his house in Mumbai, they have been celebrating Ganeshotsav for around fifty two years. Recalling his early days, the jumping jack of Bollywood said, We had hundreds of families, a four-storey building. And on each floor there were 20-25 rooms. So there were 100 of us. And I was the only Punjabi. The rest were Maharashtrians and Konkanis. So everything in my house was Maharashtrian. My mother also spoke Marathi. Recalling his childhood memories of Ganpati and other festivals, Jeetendra remembered the simple joys of receiving bundis and saving them in his pockets. In Ganpati, let's say it's Diwali or Ganpati. We used to get boondi. We used to take boondi and put them in our pockets. We used to eat them one by one. He said such simple moments brought a kind of happiness that is difficult to experience today. We don't have that fun now. Right? The small things that we used to enjoy in our childhood, we don't get in big things now. Jeetendra also recalled the modest circumstances in which he grew up, saying that having a fan at home was once considered a luxury. If I look here, even in Mumbai, there is a one-bedroom flat. Everyone has an AC. Everyone has an AC in their house. There was a fan in my house. The whole building came into view saying, there was a fan in their house. I stayed there for 17 years. After that, by the grace of God, I became an actor. However, the veteran actor said the peace and satisfaction he experienced during his childhood remain special to him. He also emphasised his strong Maharashtrian identity. But the fun, the peace, the satisfaction, I am more Maharashtrian inside and outside. Because I have a lot of Maharashtrians around me. I am talking about Maharashtrians of my time. I have never met such good people. They never had any ego or attitude, but they had a lot of self pride and self respect. They would be completely self dependent, and never be dependent on anybody.

Sharing pictures from the visit alongside her beau, Perry described it as an absolute honor of epic proportions and said she was looking forward to spending a whole day exploring the museum once it opens. She wrote: Cant wait to spend a whole day at the @lucasmuseum when it opens up This museum is for the people and has my favorite kind of art in it the kind that moves you, makes you feel, and inspires your own heros story within. Thanks for having us George Lucas. What an absolute honor of epic proportions! In June, Perry had revealed that she is very much in love and called her Trudeau the love of her life. Perry expressed gratitude for the way Trudeau has made her feel anchored. The singer was previously married to Russell Brand and has five-year-old daughter Daisy with former fiance Orlando Bloom. She made her red carpet debut with the former Canadian Prime Minister at the New York City premiere of the Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour concert film. Perry added: I am very in love.

CS reviews functioning of Rehabilitation Council in its executive council meeting
Srinagar, Sep 21: Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo today chaired the 12th Executive Council Meeting of the J&K Rehabilitation Council for Orphans, Women and Disabled Persons to review its functioning, achievements and action plan for 2026-27. The Meeting besides the Commissioner Secretary, Social Welfare Department was attended by Secretary in Social Welfare Department; DG, Budget; and Executive Director, Rehabilitation Council here. The meeting reviewed major welfare interventions undertaken during the previous financial year and approved an expanded roadmap focused on improving mobility and self-reliance among specially-abled persons besides providing greater national exposure and opportunities to children from vulnerable and economically weaker sections. A major focus of the meeting was the free distribution of retrofitted motorized tricycles to eligible orthopedically disabled persons of J&K. The initiative prioritizes students, girl students, artisans and small vendors who possess a Priority Household (PHH) ration card and have at least 40 per cent locomotor disability. It was given out by the Commissioner Secretary, SWD, SarmadHafeez that during 2025-26, against an approved proposal of Rs 13 crore, the Social Welfare Department released Rs 11.05 crore under the CAPEX Budget to the State Motor Garages Department for procurement of around 1,284 motorized tricycles at an approximate cost of Rs 86,000 per unit through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM). Similarly for 2026-27, the Council has proposed Rs 12.95 crore for procurement of around 1,500 units, with an initial Rs 4 crore already released after completion of mandatory codal formalities by the Department. The Chief Secretary also reviewed the implementation of the WatanKoJano Youth Exchange Programme, being fully funded and supported by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India, since 2012. The programme provides children and youth from vulnerable sections, including children of militancy-hit victims, specially-abled children and those belonging to economically weaker sections, an opportunity to experience the cultural diversity and developmental progress of different parts of the country. Under the programme, the Executive Director of the Council divulged that around 250 children from EWS families, studying in government schools and residing in Palash and Parisha Homes managed by the Social Welfare Department, undertook a visit to Lucknow and New Delhi in April 2026, accompanied by 23 coordinators. During the visit, the children also had the opportunity to meet and interact with the President of India and Vice President of India. Moreover, building on the initiative, the Council is going to take more 400 children on national exposure visits in two phases during 2026-27, covering the MumbaiNew Delhi and JaipurNew Delhi circuits, with funding already secured from the MHA. The Chief Secretary directed the concerned departments to fast-track procurement and implementation processes while maintaining complete transparency and adherence to prescribed procedures. He also stressed maximizing outreach and ensuring that welfare schemes translate into tangible benefits for eligible beneficiaries at the grassroots level, with particular attention to empowerment and social inclusion of vulnerable sections across the cross section of the society here.
Soni Razdan shares how her use of silence has evolved as artiste
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 22 (IANS) Actress Soni Razdan, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming streaming show Shaque: Trust No One, has spoken up on her relationship with the art of silence as an actor. The actress spoke with IANS along with Tahir Raj Bhasin and Parineeti Chopra during the promotions of the series in the BKC area of Mumbai. She told IANS, I actually feel I would like to use silences a lot more. I feel sometimes as actors, we are frightened of silences because we are given lines and our job is to say those lines. As an actor, I'm learning that finding the spaces between those lines is now becoming interesting for me. I'm discovering that as an actor, those layers because we're allowed to be with it. Earlier we were not allowed. She further mentioned, We had to do huge chunks of dialogue to say all these things and finish it off. But now I think I'm discovering the silences between the words. And I am being allowed to do that as an actor for the work that I am doing and it is interesting. Shaque: Trust No One is an upcoming psychological thriller that explores the fragile nature of trust, suspicion and betrayal. The show follows a mother who has spent nine years searching for her missing child. Despite receiving photographs of the child every year, she remains desperate for answers. As her investigation progresses, she discovers that the truth behind the abduction may be hidden within her closest circle. The show is directed by Rensil DSilva and created by DSilva and Siddharth P. Malhotra. It also stars Jennifer Winget, Anup Soni, Harleen Sethi and Sumeet Vyas. The show is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 24, 2026.

India's cable map was never built for this moment. Eighteen international systems land at just five or six cities, and Mumbai alone reportedly carries something like ninety-five percent of the country's international bandwidth, according to Carnegie India's July analysis of the country's subsea posture. Versova's thirteen-cables-in-six-kilometres cluster, flagged by the Takshashila Institution's July governance review, is the kind of concentration that planners elsewhere would call a single point of failure and route around on principle, war or no war. Even a perfectly rerouted cable runs into a second problem: India cannot repair its own undersea infrastructure. Takshashila's review counts zero Indian-flagged cable repair vessels. A break is fixed by ships based in Singapore or Dubai, and a routine repair takes four to five months to complete, longer if the vessel has to be diverted through a warzone or if its home government decides the trip is not worth the risk. Eleven of India's eighteen cables are already past twenty years old, edging toward the end of a typical twenty-five-year service life, which means the odds of needing that repair are only rising. The diversification underway is real. Lightstorm, Microsoft, Singtel and Tata Communications are building I-2SEA, a Singapore-to-India system landing at Machilipatnam and Chennai, explicitly pitched for the AI and hyperscaler traffic feeding Hyderabad's data centres. Google's separate America-India Connect programme adds three more paths out of Visakhapatnam, Chennai and Mumbai, reaching Singapore, South Africa and Western Australia, which Google itself frames as reducing India's reliance on its existing Mumbai and Chennai landings. But oil and data fail differently. A tanker rerouted around a chokepoint still delivers its cargo late; a cable rerouted into a new chokepoint still goes dark the same day something cuts it, and geography alone does not shorten the four-to-five-month repair clock. Takshashila's own prescription is telling: before anything else, it wants undersea cables formally designated Critical National Infrastructure, a step still stuck on whether the Telecommunications Act, 2023 even permits it without fresh legislation, alongside a sovereign repair fleet the government has targeted, optimistically, for 2027. Neither depends on which ocean the next cable crosses.
