Delhi to bar non-BS-VI vehicles from outside city from Nov 1 as pollution curbs kick in
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) The National Capital will begin restricting the entry of vehicles registered outside Delhi that do not comply with BS-VI emission standards from November 1, as part of the government's measures to tackle rising pollution levels during the winter season. The restriction will remain in force until January 31, 2027. According to estimates from the transport department, more than 10 lakh vehicles across Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad, do not meet the BS-VI emission standards. The proposed restrictions could affect a significant number of commuters who regularly travel to the capital from neighbouring cities for work, business and other purposes. In Gurugram and Faridabad, nearly two lakh vehicles fall short of the BS-VI norms, with around 70 per cent of them belonging to the BS-III and BS-IV categories. The two Haryana districts also have approximately 50,000 commercial vehicles that do not meet the prescribed emission standards, according to estimates cited in an NDTV report. The number of non-compliant vehicles is even higher in Uttar Pradesh's adjoining urban centres. Noida and Greater Noida together account for more than four lakh vehicles that do not meet BS-VI standards. BS-IV vehicles make up over half of this category, with petrol-powered cars forming a major share of the total. Ghaziabad also has around four lakh vehicles that fall below the BS-VI emission standards, a senior official said, highlighting the scale of the challenge for authorities seeking to limit the movement of more polluting vehicles into Delhi during the winter months. However, the restriction will not cover every vehicle included in these estimates. Vehicles powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and electricity have been exempted, along with ambulances, fire tenders and certain vehicles engaged in specified essential services. Vehicles registered outside Delhi that comply with BS-VI emission norms will also be permitted to enter the national Capital, according to the NDTV report. The restrictions will specifically target non-BS-VI vehicles registered outside Delhi. Vehicles registered within the national Capital will not be covered by this particular provision, although other existing pollution-control measures and regulations governing vehicle age will continue to apply. With the restrictions set to take effect from November 1, officials are preparing to strengthen enforcement at Delhi's entry points to prevent vehicles that do not meet the required emission standards from entering the city. Authorities are planning to use technology-based monitoring systems to identify potentially non-compliant vehicles at border checkpoints and other strategic locations. Artificial Intelligence-powered Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras will scan vehicle registration plates, helping officials flag vehicles for verification and enforcement action. The monitoring system is expected to play a key role in identifying vehicles approaching the capital from neighbouring areas, particularly those travelling along heavily used routes connecting Delhi with Noida, Gurugram and Ghaziabad. In addition to deploying surveillance technology, authorities are strengthening arrangements at entry points to facilitate physical checks and enforcement.
Delhi Police bust bank account impersonation syndicate, arrest two; assets worth Rs 2.5 crore seized
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) Delhi Police's Central District has busted a syndicate involved in impersonation of bank account holders and arrested two accused for defrauding bank officials of Rs 22.56 lakh through fraudulent Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) instructions, officials said on Thursday. Assets worth approximately Rs 2.50 crore, including gold jewellery, 101 gold coins, cash and a SUV, have been seized in the present and connected cases. One of the arrested accused was also found to be a proclaimed offender who had been absconding for more than seven years in a forged currency case, police said. The case originated from a complaint filed by the Branch Manager of Bank of India, Rajendra Place, New Delhi. On August 5, a person impersonating Deepak Malhotra, a director associated with multiple corporate entities maintaining accounts at the branch, contacted bank officials. According to the police, the caller initially discussed creating a Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) worth Rs 1 crore to gain the officials' confidence. He later contacted them, claiming that the company needed to make a payment but had exhausted its cheque book. He requested that the transaction be processed through email. The accused sent a forged payment request using an email ID closely resembling the company's registered address. The email, bearing a forged company letterhead, instructed the bank to transfer Rs 22,56,922 to another account. When bank officials sought mandatory indemnity documents, the caller pressured them by claiming that similar transactions had been processed earlier and stressing the urgency of the payment. The bank subsequently processed the fraudulent RTGS transfer. An e-FIR was registered at the Cyber Police Station of Central District under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). During the investigation, police traced the defrauded amount to a mule bank account maintained with Bandhan Bank in West Bengal. Technical analysis of telecom records, digital evidence and communication details helped investigators identify the suspects. A police team led by Sub-Inspector Kamlesh Kumar arrested the accused, identified as Vinay Kumar Yadav, 36, a resident of Loni in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, and Anil Kumar Sehgal, 65, a resident of Noida. The investigation revealed that the accused used forged company letterheads, deceptive email IDs, social engineering and mule accounts to target corporate bank transactions. The money was subsequently diverted into other assets, including gold purchased from a jeweller in West Bengal. Police said both accused had previous criminal involvement in financial fraud cases across several locations, including Ghaziabad, Saharanpur, Ayodhya and Faridabad. They allegedly became acquainted while in jail and had previously been associated with cheque-related frauds involving so-called magic pens. The arrests have also helped police work out six similar cases registered in Gurugram, Palwal and Delhi, involving fraud amounts ranging from Rs 16.65 lakh to Rs 2.98 crore, along with an attempted fraud of Rs 88 lakh.
At least 16 account holders, mostly farmers, have accused employees of Punjab National Banks Aichhar village branch in Greater Noida of allegedly diverting fixed deposits worth an estimated Rs 35 crore. The bank has suspended five staffers, including the branch manager, and launched an internal probe. Police have registered an FIR and begun an investigation, while customers have protested outside the branch demanding the return of their money.
World Stroke Day: Tackling tobacco dependence must be part of India
By Shalini Bhardwaj India continues to face a significant burden of stroke and cardiovascular disease, making the prevention of modifiable risk factors a public-health priority. Tobacco use remains a major preventable contributor to this burden. On World Stroke Day, experts are calling for a stronger, more comprehensive approach to tobacco control that moves beyond awareness campaigns to address nicotine dependence, improve access to cessation support and strengthen prevention efforts. A 2024 analysis of Global Burden of Disease data estimated that tobacco use contributed to 12% of stroke deaths in India, while high systolic blood pressure accounted for 56%. These findings highlight the need to address tobacco use alongside other major risk factors as part of a broader strategy to prevent stroke and cardiovascular disease. Dr Yashpal Singh Bundela, Director of Neurosurgery and Neurosciences at Medanta Super Speciality Hospital, Noida, said,

Astrotalk FY26 profit jumps 10-fold to Rs 222 crore, revenue crosses Rs 1,800 crore
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) Astrology and spiritual wellness platform Astrotalk has reported a more than tenfold jump in net profit for FY26, driven by strong growth in its core consultation business, rapid international expansion, and the scaling up of its e-commerce operations. The Noida-based company posted a net profit of Rs 222 crore in FY26, compared to Rs 22 crore in the previous fiscal year, while revenue from operations increased 55 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1,823 crore from Rs 1,176 crore. Astrotalk, which connects users with astrologers through paid chat, call and video consultations, continued to derive the bulk of its revenue from its core services. Revenue from consultations rose 45 per cent to Rs 1,657 crore in FY26 from Rs 1,139 crore a year earlier, accounting for about 91 per cent of the company's operating revenue. A key growth driver during the year was its international business. Overseas revenue surged 2.6 times to Rs 621 crore from Rs 236 crore in FY25, taking its share of total revenue to 34 per cent from 20 per cent a year ago. Domestic revenue also grew, rising 28 per cent to Rs 1,202 crore. International markets contributed more than half of the company's incremental revenue during the fiscal year. The company also strengthened its presence in e-commerce through the Astrotalk Store, which sells certified Rudraksha, gemstones, crystals and Vastu-related products through its own platform as well as online marketplaces. Revenue from the segment climbed 4.4 times to Rs 166 crore in FY26 from Rs 37 crore in the previous year. Commenting on the performance, founder and CEO Puneet Gupta said the company had focused on building a diversified global business from India. We set out to build a diversified, global business from India, and FY26 shows it is working. A third of our revenue now comes from outside India, and Astrotalk Store has grown into a real second business, he stated. The company's rapid expansion was accompanied by a sharp increase in spending. Advertising and business promotion expenses more than doubled to Rs 823 crore from Rs 337 crore, making up over half of total expenses as Astrotalk ramped up customer acquisition efforts. Legal and professional expenses rose to Rs 550 crore from Rs 515 crore, including payments made to astrologers for consultations.
Police said the bank management had suspended several employees, including the branch manager, and a case was registered at the Beta-2 police station, which has jurisdiction over the branch. The bank has assured authorities that it will address the customers complaints, officials said.
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 28 (IANS) In a bid to turn the state into a trillion-dollar economy Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday proposed foreign investment from Singapore across manufacturing, logistics, semiconductors, data centres, green energy and urban infrastructure, assuring investors of government support from the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to the commencement of manufacturing. At a meeting with a 14-member delegation from the Singapore Business Federation, the Chief Minister proposed developing a dedicated 'Singapore City' and a high-tech industrial township near the Noida International Airport in Jewar. An eligibility certificate was handed over for one investment project, while MoUs were exchanged with two companies, marking steps towards translating investment proposals into projects on the ground. Adityanath said the state's priority was not merely to secure investment commitments but to ensure their timely implementation, generate employment and strengthen industrial production. He said Singapore's technological capabilities and management expertise, combined with Uttar Pradesh's large market, skilled workforce and expanding infrastructure, offered significant opportunities for collaboration. Recalling his visit to Singapore in February 2026, the Chief Minister said investment agreements worth approximately Rs 60,000 crore had been reached during the visit. He reiterated the government's commitment to providing investors with security, policy stability and support for timely project execution. The state, he said, has a land bank of more than 75,000 acres available for industrial development, while 27 integrated manufacturing and logistics clusters are being developed. The six nodes of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, located in Lucknow, Kanpur, Jhansi, Agra, Aligarh and Chitrakoot, have attracted investment proposals exceeding Rs 35,000 crore. Adityanath highlighted opportunities for Singaporean companies in multimodal logistics and warehousing, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, data centres and cloud services, artificial intelligence, clean energy and waste management. He said Jewar's expressway network and connectivity to the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors could position the region as a major supply chain hub for North India. Uttar Pradesh accounts for approximately 55 per cent of India's mobile phone production and nearly 60 per cent of electronic component manufacturing, the Chief Minister said. The state also contributes around 21 per cent of the country's foodgrain production, creating opportunities for foreign investment in food processing, packaging and exports. He also invited Singaporean investors to explore tourism and hospitality projects in Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura-Vrindavan, Prayagraj and along the Buddhist Circuit. Collaboration in urban planning was another area of focus, particularly for Lucknow, the State Capital Region and new townships. Among the projects discussed, Greater Nashik Infracon Private Limited, associated with Singapore-based Universal Success Enterprises Group, received an eligibility certificate for the allocation of 50 acres in Sector 8D of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority area. The company plans to establish a Universal Packaging Hub with an investment of Rs 775 crore, including foreign direct equity from Singapore. The project is expected to generate 1,880 direct jobs. An MoU was also exchanged with Agricorp International for a manufacturing unit to produce soy protein isolate and chickpea protein concentrate, aimed at strengthening agricultural processing and value addition in the state. Blue Planet Environmental Solutions, a global waste management company, signed an MoU to treat approximately 7.5 lakh tonnes of legacy waste in Sector 145, Noida, and process fresh waste at a capacity of 350 tonnes per day in Saharanpur. The Chief Minister said Uttar Pradesh was seeking to convert its investment potential into manufacturing capacity, infrastructure development and employment, positioning the state as a destination for international investors.

Twisha Sharma suicide case: Ex-judge Giribala denies cruelty, abetment; HC reserves bail order
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 26 (IANS) Former judicial officer Giribala Singh on Monday denied allegations of cruelty and abetment to suicide in the death of her daughter-in-law Twisha Sharma, telling the Madhya Pradesh High Court that her displeasure over Sharma's decision to terminate her pregnancy did not amount to harassment. The submission was made by Singh's counsel before Justice Ajay Kumar Nirankari during the hearing of her bail plea. After hearing arguments from both sides, the High Court reserved its order. Defending Singh, her senior counsel argued that she was unhappy with Sharma's decision to undergo an abortion because both her son, lawyer Samarth Singh, and she wanted the child. However, he submitted that Singh had neither forced Sharma to terminate the pregnancy nor subjected her to cruelty. The mother-in-law was very upset because the daughter-in-law was not listening to her and had gone through with the act, the counsel said, arguing that her reaction was one of anger and that she had subsequently apologised for her remarks. Referring to alleged chats in which Singh purportedly called Sharma a murderer over the abortion, the counsel argued that the words were spoken in the heat of the moment and did not establish that she had instigated Sharma to take her own life. He further contended that the chats cited in the case pointed towards the alleged conduct of Samarth Singh rather than his mother. The defence also argued that Sharma was not confined to her matrimonial home and had intended to move to Delhi, where she had applied for a job. Singh's counsel concluded the arguments by submitting that bail should be considered in view of the nature of the alleged offences and the applicable legal provisions. While opposing the bail plea, senior advocate Siddharth Aggarwal, representing the prosecution side, argued that Singh could influence witnesses and evidence while the investigation was pending. The case relates to the death of Sharma, a Noida resident who married Bhopal-based lawyer Samarth Singh, son of ex-judge Giribala Singh, after the two met through a dating application. On May 12, Sharma was found hanging at her matrimonial home in Bhopal, barely five months after the marriage. Her family accused her husband and in-laws of subjecting her to domestic violence and harassment over dowry demands. An FIR was registered at Katara Hills police station under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Dowry Prohibition Act. Giribala Singh, a former president of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Madhya Pradesh, was initially granted anticipatory bail by a sessions court. The High Court subsequently cancelled the relief after the state government and Sharma's family challenged the order. The High Court's decision on the latest bail plea is awaited.
