Star Air suspends flights on Nanded-Hindon route
NEW DELHI: Inspiring narratives of teachers going beyond the call of duty to better the lives of their students and society at large emerged on Friday when 81 educators were conferred the National Teacher Awards 2025. There was stunned silence and awe among the audience when short video clips of each awardee were beamed on a giant screen to showcase their achievements. The TNIE caught up with a few of them who are playing a larger than life role in the lives of their students. Teachers from the primary, secondary, colleges and universities, apart from those in the skill development field were awarded on Friday. We are grateful to be recognised like this. The selection process by the government was transparent and the system of self-nomination for the award is a great move, many said. Nang Ekthani Mounglang, Headmaster at the Government Secondary School at Pachin in Arunachal Pradesh joined her school in November 2023. A fire accident had ravaged the school and destroyed all the infrastructure. I was literally told that I had to start from scratch, she recalled. The CBSE school had recorded a maximum pass percentage of 27% until then. In March 2025, the school recorded a 100% pass percentage with all its 92 students clearing the exam. The school was the only one in the Itanagar Circle to get cent percent. We repeatedly held mock exams for all the students. I used to hold training classes to train the teachers. I am an English teacher but whenever any other teacher was not able to make it to class, I would prepare the subject and teach the students, she recalls. Shaikh Mohammad Waquioddin, a teacher at Zilla Parishad High School at Ardhapur in Maharashtras Nanded district is a local celebrity. The Science teacher with 28 years of teaching experience assessed that girl students of the muslim community in his district did not attend school after completion of Class VII due to safety reasons. The high school was 3.5 km from their homes and in an isolated spot. We took a decision in 2015 to create temporary schools in the area by renting rooms so that their education continued without a break. A few of them have today pursued professional degrees and other courses, he says with pride. On hearing that 245 women in the area developed Uterine Cancer due to infection, Waquioddin and other teachers pooled in and decided to supply sanitary pads to the girl students in their school for their use and to be taken home so that other women in the family too use them. I also bought a sanitary pad machine to help the girls in my school from the Rs One lakh I got for my State Teacher award in 2017-2018. It is still functioning, he adds. Kishorkumar MS, a class IV teacher at the Government Corporation Higher Secondary School at Kallara in Trivandrum developed 40 teaching aids from 2019-2024 with the help of students to make them understand their subjects better apart from creating much e-content. I wanted students to develop their personality. During the one-hour lunch break, I would goad them to go on stage and take the mike and speak on some small topic. I wanted them to shed their inhibitions and become bold, he adds. Principal Karma Tempo Ethenpa of PM Shri Mangan Senior Secondary School in Mangan (earlier North Sikkim), a former athlete and footballer, taught students to embrace studies by using sports and music.My students began excelling in studies. Many of them have even gone on to play at the National level too, he said. It is very cold in our place. Instead of going home quickly, students started playing and exercising and becoming physically and mentally fit, he explained. Srivardhini K Jha, professor at the Entrepreneurship at IIM Bengaluru and Chairperson at IIM start-up Incubation Cell has played a pivotal role in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among MBA students. Unlike other subjects, entrepreneurship cannot be taught using books, she said, adding she designed teaching material on her own. The Incubation Cell welcomes people from all over who have an idea and want mentoring and support of a network. Women entrepreneurs are a key focus area, she said. Professor Vineeth N Balasubramanian, who teaches Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence at IIT, Hyderabad, is a Ph.D holder from Arizona State University. He has designed an online course in AI which over 40,000-plus people have taken up. He has played a crucial role in providing quality content for National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), a project of the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
35 lakh acres of crops damaged in torrential rain in Maharashtra
MUMBAI: Over 35 lakh acres of farm land across 29 districts of Maharashtra were affected by torrential rainfall between August 15 to 20 of this year. According to the Maharashtra agriculture minister, in the primary survey, it was revealed that 14.36 lakh hectares (35.90 lakh acres) of standing crops have been affected in 29 districts in the state. Out of these, 12 districts have affected more than 10,000 hectares, and the most impacted district is Nanded in Marathawada, where over 6.20 lakh crops got damaged. Agriculture minister Dattatreya Bharne said that every year, farmers in Maharashtra suffer huge losses due to heavy rains and floods. He said the recent heavy rains have caused major damage in 191 talukas of 29 districts of Maharashtra. The rains during this period have caused massive damage to kharif crops in more than 654 revenue circles. The heaviest rains between August 15 and 20 have caused major damage to crops. In Maharashtra, major damages are reported in Nanded, that is 6, 20,566 hectares, while 1,64,557 hectares in Wasim, 1,64,932 hectares in Yavatmal, 150,753 hectares in Dharashiv, 89,782 hectares in Buldhana, 43,828 hectares in 43,828 hectares in Akola, 47,266 hectares in Solapur, and 40,000 hectares of crops damaged in Hingoli district. The most affected crops are mainly Soybean, maize, cotton, urad, tur, moong, besides, at some places, vegetables, fruit crops, millet, sugarcane, onion, jowar, and turmeric crops have also been affected. The minister said that the Panchnama work has been started in the affected areas and is in the final stage, and appropriate assistance will be provided to the farmers immediately. He said the state government stands firmly with the farmers and no farmer will be deprived of financial assistance. Opposition alleged that the state government is only giving the data, but the actual work of the panchnama and extending financial relief has been started. Shreenivas Bikkad, Maharashtra Congress media coordinator, said that if the state government does not take immediate steps, then this calamity can result in farmer suicides because in this rain, farmers are completely devastated.

Over 23 lakh acres of crops damaged in Maharashtra rains; Nanded worst hit
MUMBAI: Torrential rains in Maharashtra over the past few days have wreaked havoc on standing crops across the state, with a preliminary government report estimating crop damage over 23 lakh acres (approximately 9.25 lakh hectares). Nanded has emerged as the worst-affected district. According to the Maharashtra government's initial assessment, 148 tehsils have been severely impacted by the heavy rainfall received between 15 and 20 August. The report highlights that 12 districts have each reported damage to over 10,000 hectares of crops. In terms of scale, Nanded has suffered the most, with standing crops damaged over 7.13 lakh acres, followed by Wasim (4.11 lakh acres), Yavatmal (2.95 lakh acres), Buldhana (2.24 lakh acres), Akola (1.09 lakh acres), and Solapur (1 lakh acres). In contrast, the least affected districts include Satara (84 acres), Dhule (57 acres), Latur (25 acres), and Ahilya Nagar (7.5 acres), indicating the uneven impact of the downpour. The crops most affected are soyabean, cotton, corn, and pulses, with some areas also reporting significant damage to vegetables and grain crops. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed the administration to conduct panchanamas (damage assessments) and ensure financial compensation reaches the affected farmers. However, farmer dissatisfaction is mounting. Opposition leaders have alleged that compensation for crop losses due to unseasonal rains earlier in May is still pending. They claim that the government is failing to deliver timely assistance, further deepening the agrarian crisis. The government only makes promises, but help must reach farmers. Otherwise, they will collapse economically, and that could lead to a spike in farmer suicides, said noted farmer leader Vijay Jawandia. With the Rabi crops now also suffering due to recent rainfall, pressure is growing on the state government to act swiftly and provide relief to prevent further distress in rural Maharashtra.

Loco pilots' union alleges manipulation of working hours to hide overutilisation
NEW DELHI: The loco pilots' union has alleged that various railway zones are manipulating the working hours of train drivers by falsely entering duty breaks during their 12 to 16-hour-long trips in the online Crew Management System (CMS) to hide their overutilisation. As per railway norms, a loco pilot cannot be asked to work more than 9 hours at a stretch and no more than 11 hours in total from sign-on to sign-off. Since 2021, the Safety Department of the Railway Board has instructed all zonal railways that 80 per cent of trips should be completed within the 9-hour limit. The Railway Ministry had earlier stated that it has not only initiated aggressive recruitment of loco pilots but also created several amenities for them, including urinal facilities in over 900 locomotives, air-conditioning systems in over 7,000 locomotives, and upgraded all 558 running rooms across the rail network. The All India Loco Running Staff Association (AILRSA) stated that safety regulations prohibit overburdening loco pilots with excessive duty hours. They alleged that rail administrations are regularly violating these rules to compensate for a 15 - 20 per cent staff shortage. Though this illegal practice is happening in many divisions and zones, we have started by raising the issue with the General Manager of East Central Railway (ECR). We have submitted a memorandum compiling several issues that affect loco pilots' working conditions, including the false trip break, said Ashok Kumar Raut, General Secretary of AILRSA. The ECR has not responded to the allegations. However, following Raut's representation, one of ECR's divisions, Dhanbad, issued a circular dated July 15, 2025, warning of strict action against the false insertion of duty breaks between sign-on and sign-off in the CMS. A direction is being issued to all to not break duty hours between the sign-on and sign-off of the crew while registering it in CMS (Crew Management System). If it is happening in any crew lobby, it must be stopped immediately. If such cases are found, strict disciplinary action will be taken, the circular stated. Raut explained that lobby officials record the sign-on and sign-off times of loco pilots in the CMS when their shift starts and ends, respectively. However, in cases where a loco pilot works for more than 12 hours, contractual staff at the lobby are allegedly inserting fake duty breaks -- ranging from 45 minutes to 2 hours -- on verbal orders from senior officials to conceal overutilisation. Each railway division submits monthly crew working hours data to the Railway Board in a fixed format. These duty breaks are reportedly used to avoid detection of excessive working hours, which violates operational safety norms. This illegal and unsafe practice of inserting duty breaks in the system is being done on the verbal orders of some senior officials, such as the Chief Traction Loco Controller and Chief Crew Controller. Railways has outsourced CMS data entry work to private personnel, and these officials instruct them to insert such breaks, Raut alleged. I have gathered data from some divisions on illegal trip breaks by lobby staff. In May and June 2025, in the Dhanbad division alone, there were 2,719 such cases; 1,883 in the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Nagar division; and 785 in the Danapur division. he added. He also claimed that the Samastipur and Sonpur divisions manipulated working hours in 304 and 83 cases, respectively. Earlier this year, in April, South Central Railway reviewed CMS data on loco pilots' working hours and found that, in 545 cases in the Secunderabad division, 42 in Vijayawada, 26 in Guntakal, three each in Guntur and Nanded, and one in the Hyderabad division, goods train loco pilots worked between 13:55 and 14:00 hours but were compelled to feed incorrect times to hide actual duty hours.

Amit Shah says Bal Thackeray wouldve hugged PM Modi over Op Sindoor; Sena (UBT) hits back
Union Home Minister Amit Shah claimed on Monday that had Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray been alive, he would have hugged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the success of 'Operation Sindoor'. Addressing a public event in Maharashtra's Nanded, Shah slammed the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), saying it mocked the multi-party delegations visiting partner countries to convey India's message of zero tolerance against terrorism as 'baraat' (wedding party). Had Balasaheb Thackeray been alive, he would have hugged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the success of Operation Sindoor, he said at a public event in Maharashtra's Nanded. The Centre has sent seven multi-party delegations to visit 33 global capitals to reach out to the international community on Pakistan's designs and India's response to terror. I don't know what has happened to the Uddhav Sena. They are calling the delegations a baraat even though their own members are a part of it, said Shah, who is on a two-day tour of Maharashtra. Later, Ambadas Danve of Sena (UBT) retorted that Bal Thackeray would not have allowed those who etrayed the Shiv Sena even to his doorstep. Bal Thackeray would have asked, 'Where are those six (terrorists) who killed Hindus by asking their religion?'. He also would have asked when the country was united, who put pressure to declare a ceasefire with Pakistan, he wrote on X. Danve also targeted Shah for mentioning the Marathwada Water Grid during his address. The file concerning the project was sent to the Centre for approval. Shah forgot to tell what happened with this file later. For the past ten years, the BJP has been speaking about getting water from the Konkan and Krishna basin to Marathwada. But not a single drop has come to the region, Danve added. The Shiv Sena and the BJP were allies in the state for decades before parting ways in 2019. After the Sena split in 2022, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde got its name and symbol. While the Shiv Sena under Shinde is a part of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, the Uddhav faction is a partner in the opposition bloc Maha Vikas Aghadi.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday kick-started the campaign for the much-awaited local body elections in Maharashtra by asserting that Operation Sindoor, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent a strong message not only to Pakistan but to the entire world. Shah emphasized that no one should trouble the Indian Army, its people, or its bordersotherwise, they will face serious consequences. While addressing a rally in Nandedthe hometown of former Chief Minister Ashok ChavanShah continued: We are committed to protecting India's borders and safeguarding its citizens. There will be no compromise on the countrys security. The Home Minister said that under PM Modis leadership, India has emerged as a strong nation. We are moving steadily toward becoming a developed nation by 2047. We will respond forcefully to any attempts to destabilize us. Amit Shah went on to highlight Indias strengthened defense capabilities, noting that the countrys air defense systems are so robust that they have prevented enemy drones and missiles from entering Indian territory. Earlier, they attacked us in Uri, and we responded with a surgical strike. They hit us in Pulwama, and we carried out an airstrike.
