Man assaulted, robbed by two brothers in Maharashtra's Daund
Digital Desk | Pune, Sep 27 (IANS) A 29-year-old man was assaulted and robbed in the Daund area of Pune in Maharashtra, police said on Sunday. According to officials, Dinesh Bharat Dhanve was robbed, assaulted and threatened by the accused at Nehru Chowk area of the city. The latter was later joined by his brother, who verbally abused the victim. A case has been registered against both the brothers at the Daund Police Station under Sections 119(1), 118(1), 115(2), 324(4), 351(2), 352, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, officials said. The accused have been identified as Adarsh Anil Jadhav and Aman Anil Jadhav. According to the information received, the complainant was standing near the railway ground and talking on his phone.

When the complainant refused to move away, the accused damaged his mobile phone and slapped him, causing the victim to fall to the ground. Subsequently, accused Adarsh Jadhav attacked Dhanve, injuring his back, thigh, and head with an iron rod. Investigators said that during the assault, Rs 3,500 was forcibly taken from the victim's trouser pocket. Further, when the complainant called his relatives, the accused summoned his brother, Aman Anil Jadhav, to the scene; together, they verbally abused Dhanve and threatened to kill him.

Farmers, agricultural labourers and workers at centre of drought relief efforts: CM Fadnavis
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 26 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said that farmers, agricultural labourers, and workers in the state are at the centre of the state's drought relief efforts. He asserted that every possible effort will be made to provide them relief. We stand firmly behind our farmer brothers. Let us all make united efforts to overcome this challenge, the Chief Minister expressed with strong determination. Drought has been declared in 265 talukas across the state. The government has decided to implement 12 measures and concessions to provide relief to farmers, students, agricultural labourers, citizens, and livestock in these talukas, he added. Following the announcement of the Government Resolution (GR) on the declaration of drought in 265 of the total 358 talukas, CM Fadnavis immediately instructed the concerned District Collectors to initiate spot inspections (panchnamas) in these talukas without delay. Due to a lack of rainfall, farmers are facing significant hardships. Immediate surveys will have to be conducted in the talukas where drought conditions have been declared. For this, the Revenue Department, Agriculture Department, and all related agencies must work with sensitivity and coordination. They should maintain continuous communication and contact at the field level. Giving priority to this work is necessary to provide relief to farmers, CM Fadnavis instructed. During the survey, crop condition reports will be submitted using photographs depicting crop conditions alongside GPS coordinates, he said. CM Fadnavis recently undertook a tour to review the drought situation across the state. During this visit, he personally visited the fields, interacted warmly with the farmers, and understood their grievances and difficulties. He assured them that prompt decisions regarding the drought situation would be taken. In accordance with that, a Government Resolution evaluating the state's drought conditions as per the Drought Management Code 2016 was issued on Saturday. The State Agriculture Commissioner reviewed the Kharif 2026 season and submitted a report indicating drought-like conditions in 265 talukas of the state. Consequently, panchnamas will now be conducted in these affected talukas based on Trigger-1 (First Trigger) for drought, considering rainfall deficits and other contributing factors from June to the present date. A crop condition report will be prepared by compiling photographs and GPS coordinates reflecting the status of crops in the surveyed areas, said a statement issued by the Chief Minister's Office. CM Fadnavis listed measures and concessions to be implemented in drought-affected areas. These include exemption from land revenue, restructuring of crop loans, stay on the recovery of agriculture-related loans, concessions on current electricity bills for agricultural pumps (electricity bills for pumps up to 7.5 HP capacity have already been waived; this concession will apply to pumps above that capacity), waiver in exam fee for school and college students, relaxation of norms under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) to initiate maximum work and deployment of water tankers where necessary for drinking water supply. He further stated that there will be no disconnection of electricity supply to agricultural pumps of farmers in villages declared scarcity-hit, ensuring adequate supply and arrangements for food grains so that no shortages affect farmers and agricultural labourers dependent on agriculture, making necessary arrangements to ensure sufficient fodder for livestock, initiating water conservation works and planning drinking water and livestock water needs. The 265 talukas where 'Trigger-1' has been applied cover various revenue divisions in the state. This includes 12 talukas in the Thane revenue division, 49 in the Nashik division, 35 in the Pune division, 74 in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar division, 56 in the Amravati division and 39 in the Nagpur division. In the Thane revenue division, the first trigger has been activated for Shrivardhan in Raigad district; Ratnagiri, Sangameshwar and Rajapur in Ratnagiri district; and Sawantwadi, Dodamarg, Kankavli, Kudal, Vaibhavwadi, Malvan, Devgad, and Vengurla in Sindhudurg district. No talukas from Thane and Palghar districts are included in this list. A total of 49 talukas across Nashik, Dhule, Jalgaon, Nandurbar, and Ahilyanagar districts are included, alongside 35 talukas from Pune, Solapur, Sangli, Satara, and Kolhapur districts. In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, Beed, Latur, Dharashiv, Nanded, Parbhani and Hingoli districts, 74 talukas have seen Trigger-1 activated. Amravati division includes 56 talukas from Buldhana, Amravati, Akola, Washim, and Yavatmal districts, while Nagpur division accounts for 39 talukas across Wardha, Nagpur, Bhandara, Gondia, Chandrapur, and Gadchiroli districts. CM Fadnavis said that financial relief regarding crop loss for drought-affected farmers will be announced through a separate Government Resolution once all prescribed procedural requirements are fulfilled. Therefore, the government has given special emphasis to the process of conducting accurate surveys and panchnamas of crop conditions, he noted. Against the backdrop of the drought, the government has initiated measures at various levels to mitigate its impact by providing necessary concessions, relief, and facilities in a timely manner to farmers, students, labourers, and the general public, he reiterated.

Housing sales fall 6% to 103K units across top 9 cities in Q3: PropEquity
Housing sales fell 6 per cent to 1.03 lakh units in the July-September quarter across nine major cities, mainly due to subdued demand and lower fresh supply of homes, according to PropEquity. Global economic uncertainties also contributed to muted buying sentiments. Real estate data analytics firm PropEquity tracks primary residential markets in nine major cities -- Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and Kolkata. Housing sales in these nine cities fell to 1,03,170 units in July-September from 1,09,420 units in the year-ago period, according to data. New supply fell to 98,165 units from 1,00,330 units during the period under review.

Sales improve in the December quarter on account of festive demand. To cash in on this demand, developers increase fresh supply and also offer many incentives t

India's workforce likely to grow 5.4 pc in H2 FY27 led by e-commerce, tech start-ups
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 24 (IANS) India's workforce is expected to grow 5.4 per cent in H2 FY27 (October-March) up from 4.7 per cent in first half of the fiscal, led by ecommerce and tech startups, travel and hospitality, and retail, a report said on Thursday. The report from staffing conglomerate TeamLease Services said the projected growth in the second half of the fiscal year would mark the highest level recorded across the last four halfyear periods. The improvement reflects strengthening employer confidence, with 60 per cent of organisations planning to expand their workforce, 24 per cent expecting no change, and 16 per cent anticipating a reduction. Economic conditions were cited by 67 per cent of employers as the strongest factor shaping workforce size, followed by organisational dynamics such as growth or restructuring at 43 per cent and technological advancements at 40 per cent, which continue to shape hiring decisions. Sectoral leaders in employment surge include ecommerce and tech startups at 12.6 per cent NEC, travel and hospitality at 12.3 per cent, retail at 10.3 per cent. Automotive (10.1 per cent), EV & EV infrastructure (9.7 per cent) and banking (9.2 per cent) also show strong hiring intent, reflecting continued demand across digital, consumption-led and emerging sectors. Hiring intent also rises with organisational scale, with 66 per cent of large enterprises planning to expand their workforce, compared with 59 per cent of medium-sized enterprises and 53 per cent of start-ups, micro and small businesses. Bengaluru led hiring intent regionally at 68 per cent, followed by Hyderabad at 61 per cent and Pune at 60 per cent, with Pune recording the largest gain this half-year. However, the ability to convert hiring intent into actual workforce expansion remains closely linked to talent availability. Among employers planning workforce expansion, 72 per cent expect moderate to significant difficulty in hiring, with IT (39 per cent), sales & marketing (38 per cent), and engineering (32 per cent) emerging as the functions facing the highest anticipated hiring challenges. The average time-to-fill for roles stood at 3545 days, with specialist and site-based positions taking longer. Balasubramanian A, Senior Vice President, TeamLease Services said that the employment outlook reflects a shift towards more targeted workforce expansion, with businesses aligning talent decisions closely with changing demand. The report also highlighted a widening gap between AI adoption and workforce-wide AI integration. Nearly 85 per cent of employers reported some level of AI or GenAI use, but only 13 per cent have adoption across more than half of their workforce.
