Chhath Puja: BJP govts in Delhi, Bihar to run 77 buses with subsidised fare
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) On the occasion of Chhath Puja, the BJP-led governments in Delhi and Bihar have decided to deploy 77 buses for ferrying devotees on subsidised tickets, Delhi Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said on Thursday. He said the initiative reflects the shared commitment of both governments to ease the festive travel rush and strengthen interstate public transport connectivity. The initial arrangement from Anand Vihar Bus Terminal includes 77 buses across five Bihar divisions: Muzaffarpur (36), Patna (13), Purnea (12), Gaya Ji (10) and Darbhanga (6), he said. To provide financial relief to passengers, subsidised festival fares are being charged across Non-AC Seater, Non-AC Sleeper, AC Seater and AC Sleeper categories, he said. Depending on the route and bus category, passengers will benefit from reductions ranging from Rs 134 to Rs 1,028, he said. For instance, the Non-AC Seater fare on the Patna-Delhi route has been reduced from Rs 1,615 to Rs 1,221, while the AC Seater fare has been brought down from Rs 1,980 to Rs 1,361, he said. Pankaj Kumar Singh said, Chhath Puja holds immense cultural and emotional significance for lakhs of people from Bihar and Poorvanchal residing in Delhi. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the Delhi government is committed to working in coordination with the Bihar Government to ensure that passengers can travel home safely and affordably. The introduction of subsidised fares and additional bus services is an important step towards making public transport more accessible during the festive season, he said in a statement. The Minister highlighted the proposed Reciprocal Transport Agreement between Delhi and Bihar, which envisages 18 interstate routes connecting Delhi with major destinations in Bihar, including Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Purnea, Araria, Kishanganj, Buxar, Nawada, Madhubani and Biharsharif. The proposed arrangement provides for bus operations in both directions, with a permit quota of 12 buses each for Delhi and Bihar on every route. Several routes will connect through major transit points in Uttar Pradesh, including Noida, Agra, Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur and Varanasi. Pankaj Kumar Singh said that passenger safety and environmental compliance have also been prioritised under the proposed agreement. Only BS-VI environment-friendly CNG buses and electric buses will be permitted. Buses will also be required to have vehicle location tracking devices and emergency buttons. The agreement further provides for mutual recognition of tickets issued in either state and stipulates that the arrangement will remain valid for 10 years subject to applicable legal provisions, he said. The Delhi Transport Minister reiterated that the initial 77-bus service is an important beginning and that its operations will be monitored to assess passenger requirements. Further routes and services will be incorporated in a phased manner to strengthen connectivity between Delhi and Bihar and provide passengers with more convenient and affordable travel options, the statement said.
New tractor plant in UP's Jewar aims to generate 1,200 direct jobs
Digital Desk | Gautam Buddh Nagar, Nov 12 (IANS) In a major boost to industrial investment in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday virtually laid the foundation stone of a state-of-the-art tractor manufacturing plant at the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area in Jewar, aiming to create around 1,200 direct jobs. The ultra-modern facility which will be set up by CNH Industrial on 100 acres of land in Sector-8 of Jewar's YEIDA area, is expected to acquire an investment of around Rs 12 billion (Rs 1,200 crore). The project is expected to generate around 1,200 direct jobs, besides creating a significant number of indirect employment opportunities. Speaking at the occasion, CM Adityanath said that Jewar has emerged as one of India's most attractive investment destinations. He noted that with the development of the Noida International Airport and a series of industrial projects in the YEIDA region, the entire area is poised to become a major industrial, economic, and logistics hub in the coming years. New avenues of development have opened up in the region with the support of local farmers and public representatives, CM Adityanath said while attributing the rise in investment to Uttar Pradesh's improved law-and-order situation and the government's policy of zero tolerance toward crime. The Chief Minister said that strict action against criminals and the use of bulldozers against illegal activities have given Uttar Pradesh a distinct identity. The bulldozer has become a brand of Uttar Pradesh, he remarked, adding that as products such as bulldozers and tractors are manufactured in the state, their demand will rise in India and abroad. He also said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh has attracted investment proposals worth more than Rs 50 lakh crore over the past nine-and-a-half years. Of these, investments worth nearly Rs 15 lakh crore have already materialised, while proposals worth Rs 7.5 lakh crore are expected to move to the ground-breaking stage soon, t CM Adityanath added. The Chief Minister also said that Uttar Pradesh has moved beyond the category of underdeveloped states and has become one of the country's top three economies, progressing rapidly toward the goal of becoming a $1-trillion economy. Highlighting the state's industrial growth, he noted that the number of factories has increased from 14,000 to 35,000, while the number of MSME units has reached 10 million (one crore). The number of startups has risen from 120 to 25,000. Today, Uttar Pradesh has established itself in the areas of Ease of Doing Business, Fearless Business, and Trust of Doing Business, and ranks first in the country in deregulation, the Chief Minister stressed. Chief Minister Adityanath also pointed to several major projects taking shape in the Jewar and YEIDA region, including the HCL-Foxconn semiconductor plant, Medical Device Park, Toy Park, MSME Park, and multiple data centre projects. Uttar Pradesh is also creating new opportunities for innovation and employment in emerging sectors such as IT, semiconductors, cybersecurity, robotics, and agritech. In collaboration with companies such as Tata, Samsung, Microsoft, IBM, Infosys, and HCL, the state is providing skill development training to youth to build an industry-ready workforce, he said. The CNH Industrial plant, he added, will give fresh momentum to the agricultural machinery and tractor manufacturing sector in the state. Mentioning that the state accounts for about 18.5 per cent of India's tractor market, the Chief Minister said that the project will not only expand industrial activity but also benefit the local economy and the agricultural sector.

NMC cautions students against fake medical colleges, fraudulent admission offers
New Delhi, Nov 10: The National Medical Commission has cautioned students and parents against taking admission or making payments to medical colleges without verifying their authenticity and regulatory approval, amid instances of institutions offering medical courses without statutory permission. The advisory comes in compliance with directions of the Supreme Court in an ongoing case -- Ayesha Jain v Amity University, Noida and Others -- in which the court directed regulatory bodies, including the commission, to caution students and parents against dealing with educational institutions without first verifying their authenticity. The direction was issued in the context of a reported instance of a purported fake medical college operating from a farmhouse and claiming to offer various courses. The commission said students and parents should exercise due diligence and verify the authenticity and regulatory status of any institution before seeking admission, enrolling in or making any payment towards a medical course. It advised students seeking admission to MBBS courses to verify whether the college is included in the official list of medical colleges published by the commission and whether the requisite permission has been granted for the relevant academic year. The commission cautioned that the presence of a college in an official list or its operation in an earlier year shall not, by itself, be treated as confirmation of permission to admit students for every subsequent academic year or beyond the approved intake. Students have been advised to independently verify the permission status, course and number of approved seats through official NMC and Medical Assessment and Rating Board records. The NMC also warned students not to rely solely on brochures, websites, advertisements, social media posts or purported permission and approval letters circulated by institutions or their representatives. For admissions covered by counselling procedures, candidates have been advised to use official channels, including the Medical Counselling Committee or the competent state or Union Territory counselling authority. The commission also cautioned against making admission-related payments to unauthorised agents, personal bank accounts or unverified intermediaries. Approval, affiliation, registration or recognition granted by one authority for a particular purpose should not be construed as permission from the National Medical Commission to conduct an MBBS course, the advisory said. It urged students and parents to report suspected fake medical colleges, unauthorised MBBS courses, forged permission letters, fraudulent admission offers or misleading representations to the NMC and other competent authorities. The NMC further clarified that courses such as pharmacy, nursing, Ayurveda, and allied and healthcare programmes fall under different statutory or competent regulatory authorities and their regulatory status should be verified with the authority concerned. Timely verification and reporting of suspected fraudulent activities are essential to protect students from financial loss, prevent misuse of the name of statutory authorities and safeguard the standards and integrity of medical education, it said.

Mumbai's air quality better than last year on Diwali, but firecrackers trigger sharp pollution spike
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 9 (IANS) Mumbai's air quality deteriorated sharply following Diwali celebrations, with firecracker emissions contributing to a significant rise in particulate pollution and a layer of smog covering several parts of the city. Although Mumbai recorded comparatively better air quality this Diwali than in 2025, the improvement proved temporary as pollution levels surged during the evening celebrations. The city recorded an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 132 on Sunday, nearly 30 per cent lower than the 188 recorded during the corresponding period last year. However, the relatively cleaner air during the daytime gave way to a sharp deterioration as people began bursting firecrackers in the evening. In Andheri, PM2.5 levels jumped from 42 at 8 p.m. to 597 within two hours. Malad recorded an even higher PM2.5 concentration of 606, while Chembur reported PM10 levels of 480 at 10 p.m. The overnight spike highlighted the continuing impact of firecracker emissions on the city's air quality despite growing environmental awareness. By Monday morning, pollution levels remained elevated in several locations. The AQI around Bandra Reclamation and Kala Nagar stood at 231, falling in the 'Poor' category, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Meanwhile, Mumbai and neighbouring Thane witnessed a substantial deterioration in air quality on Diwali night, with pollution levels entering the severe category amid widespread firecracker use. According to live readings on AQI.in, Mumbai's AQI stood at 278 at 9.34 p.m. on Sunday. The PM2.5 concentration was recorded at 192 micrograms per cubic metre, while PM10 levels reached 232 micrograms per cubic metre. These readings came just hours after the city experienced its cleanest Diwali afternoon air in four years. According to an earlier report by a leading English daily, Mumbai recorded an AQI of 131 around 1 p.m. on Sunday, as per the CPCB dashboard. The figure was considerably lower than the corresponding Diwali afternoon readings of 194 in 2025, 181 in 2024 and 149 in 2023. Favourable weather conditions, particularly strong sea breezes that helped disperse pollutants, were considered a major factor behind the improved daytime air quality. The city's air quality had already begun showing signs of deterioration during the first week of October. On Diwali afternoon, 20 of Mumbai's 26 monitoring stations recorded AQI levels above 100. Among the worst-affected locations, Bandra East (Kherwadi) recorded an AQI of 195, followed by Shivaji Nagar in Mankhurd at 183, Bandra Kurla Complex at 173, Ghatkopar at 170, Chembur at 168 and Mazgaon at 133. Following Diwali celebrations, the National Capital Region of Delhi also witnessed a significant deterioration in air quality, with dense smoke and haze spreading across the region. Reduced visibility has been reported in several areas, further intensifying concerns about rising pollution levels. Air Quality Index (AQI) readings and the government's efforts to tackle the pollution crisis have remained key topics of discussion in the national Capital over the past few days. Ahead of the Diwali festivities, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) implemented Stage III restrictions under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across Delhi-NCR. According to the commission's order, the decision was taken as a precautionary step in anticipation of a possible decline in air quality during the festive period. Data available on the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) Sameer application showed that Delhi's overall AQI reached 373 at 11:05 PM on November 8, 2026, placing it in the 'very poor' category. During the same period, Noida recorded an average AQI of 319. The corresponding readings for Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad stood at 360, 280 and 297, respectively, all falling within the 'very poor' category. The situation was particularly concerning in several parts of Delhi, where pollution levels crossed the 400 mark, entering the 'severe' category. Areas reporting such high AQI readings included Alipur, Bawana, Burari, Chandni Chowk, Mundka, Punjabi Bagh, Rohini and Vivek Vihar, among others.
Adani Energy Solutions has reportedly responded to the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) queries saying that its parent has 15,155.80 crore in adjusted net worth to support a proposed 211 crore Noida data centre power project.
