BENGALURU: A metro passenger was allegedly denied entry into Attiguppe Metro Station around 10.10 pm on Monday, despite official Namma Metro timings stating operations continue till 11 pm. A video of the incident shared by the X handle Karnataka Portfolio went viral, triggering a debate over metro station gate closures and commuter inconvenience. In the video, a passenger is seen questioning a security personnel about why entry was denied and why multiple gates were closed before time. The security guard responded that, as per protocol, all entrances except one are shut at 10 pm across Metro stations in the city, citing operational rules. The post criticised the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), calling it a blatant disregard for the official schedule. It also accused the staff of mismanagement. It also questioned why timings up to 11 pm are advertised if entry is blocked over 45 minutes earlier. Meanwhile, the incident evoked mixed reactions online. In many stations, due to low pax movement after 10 pm, one of the multiple entrances is closed to avoid wastage of resources. Exits remain open for passenger convenience. This system has been in place since the panemic, wrote X user Lingaraju B in response. However, womens rights activist Brinda Adige called the staffs behaviour arrogant and audacious, questioning whether Metro services were being run for commuters or the convenience of employees. Tagging Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, she urged the government to retrain Metro staff, revise working hours if required, and ensure all station entrances remain open until the last train. BMRCL has not issued an official response to the incident so far.

Karnataka notifies excise rule changes for e-auction of unused liquor licences
BENGALURU: The State government on November 3 issued the final notification on the amendment to the Karnataka Excise (General Conditions of Licences) Rules, 1967, Karnataka Excise (Lease of the Right of Retail Vend of Beer) Rules, 1976, and Karnataka Excise (Sale of Indian & Foreign Liquors) Rules, 1968, for e-auctioning of defunct/unused licences. The amendments have been made under Section 71 of the Karnataka Excise Act, 1965 (Karnataka Act 21 of 1966). The amended rules will now be called the Second Amendment Rules, 2025, in the above three categories. Two new license categories, CL-2A for CL2 (retail liquor shops) and CL-9A for CL-9 (bars & restaurants) have been created for the unused licenses under consideration for auction. The amendment to Rule 17-A (General Conditions of Licences) allows conditional transfer (of licence) in the event of death of the licensee or the lessee during the validity (currency) of the licence or lease or within a period of six months from the date of death of the licensee or the lessee. Approximately 579 unused licenses are likely to go under the hammer to aid in additional resource mobilisation (ARM) of around Rs 600 crore to the State. A majority of them are CL11-C (government-owned Mysore Sales International Limited -- MSIL retail outlets) licences followed by CL-2 and CL-9 licences. The state is said to have engaged MSTC Limited, a Government of India enterprise, to conduct these auctions through a transparent electronic (e-auction) system. The CL-2, CL-9, CL-11(C), CL-2A and CL-9A licences, which are not renewed within a period of six months from the commencement of Excise year, or, within a period of six months from the date of death of the licensee, are considered as lapsed and forfeited. Such licences shall not be eligible for renewal, and no rights shall accrue to the licensee in respect thereof, such licences shall fall into the auction pool for auctioning, read the amendment notification. Meanwhile, the Federation of Wine Merchants Associations of Karnataka has claimed that the number of licences identified for auction is significantly lower than the governments estimate of around 579. Many of these were previously allotted to MSIL in 2009 and hence cannot be auctioned, the Federation had argued.

One held after police seize Rs 60 lakh cash, gold from MumbaiMangaluru bus in Bhatkal
BHATKAL (UTTARA KANNADA): Police have seized cash and gold jewellery worth over Rs 60 lakh from a private bus coming from Mumbai, in Bhatkal. One person has been arrested in this connection. Even as the case of mysterious transportation of Rs 1 crore on Karwar-Goa border is still fresh in public memory, the Bhatkal cops seized a bag containing the cash and jewellery from the private bus. The seizure was made on Tuesday night when the private bus, commuting between Mumbai and Mangaluru, was about to leave the bus station when an unidentified person approached the bus crew handing over a blue suitcase stating a person by name Irfan will receive it in Bhatkal. However, acting on a tip-off, the police approached the bus just when the bag was being delivered to the person concerned and opened it. To their surprise, they found Rs 49,98,400 in cash and 32 gold bangles weighing over 400 grams. A mobile phone and a pen drive was also part of the parcel. The arrested person is Mohammed Irfan, a resident of Baba Nand Usman Nagar in Bhatkal. A case has been registered under the IT Act. Further investigation is on. It may be recalled that a week ago, the Chittakula police had intercepted a private vehicle and recovered a sum of Rs 1 crore in cash at Majali on the Karnataka-Goa border. Two persons from Rajasthan were detained for questioning.

Only Centre BMRCLs appropriate government for industrial disputes: Karnataka HC
BENGALURU: Turning down the contention of the state government and the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) that the state is the appropriate government for any industrial dispute, the Karnataka High Court ruled that the central government is the appropriate government. Therefore, the state government has no competence to notify the services of BMRCL as Public Utility Services and Essential Service under the relevant laws, the high court added. Stating that the BMRCL is a railway company within the meaning of Railway Company as defined in Section 2(a)(i) read with Section 2(o) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the court declared that under Section 2(n)(vi) of the Act, the state government has no competence to notify the services of BMRCL as Public Utility Services and under Section 2(1) of the Karnataka Essential Services Maintenance Act, 2013, the state government has no competence to notify the services of BMRCL as an essential service. Justice Anant Ramanath Hegde passed the order while dismissing the petitions filed by the BMRCL, claiming that the state government is the appropriate government, and allowing the petitions filed by the BMRCL Employees Union, contending that the central government is the appropriate government. In view of these rulings, the court quashed the notification dated November 18, 2019, issued by the Labour Department of the state government, declaring the services of the BMRCL as public utility services, as the same is without jurisdiction in view of the fact that the central government is the appropriate government for BMRCL. Also, the court quashed the notification dated July 7, 2017, issued under the Karnataka Essential Services Maintenance Act, 2013, in respect of the BMRCL, and also the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited Employees (Conduct, Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 2014. Also, the court restrained the labour department of the state government from granting any exemption under Section 14 of the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, to BMRCL from the application of the provisions of the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. Also turning down the contention of the state that it is the appropriate government, the court directed the Central Government Industrial Tribunal to proceed to adjudicate the issue before it.
Youth drives growth in social security enrolments
NEW DELHI: Indias formal employment ecosystem appears to be regaining strength despite global economic headwinds, as new data from the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) and the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) show steady payroll expansion powered mostly by younger workers. The latest ESIC payroll report for October 2025 and the EPFO payroll release of September 2025 together paint a picture of an economy that, while still adjusting to post-pandemic realities, is creating jobs with social security coverage at a sustained pace. The data also signal a critical structural shift, the growing participation of youth in formal employment. ESICs consolidated payroll figures from FY 201718 to FY 202425 show insured employees rising from 2.9 crore to nearly 3 crore, a clear sign of labour formalisation. Around 70% of contributors belong to the 2235 age group, while the over-35 segment grew from one crore to 1.2 crore, suggesting improving job continuity. Men continue to dominate enrolment (around 80%), but womens share at roughly 20% reflects gradual gender inclusion. The data indicates that more Indians now hold stable, salaried jobs with access to health insurance and provident fund savings. This shift is particularly striking given the pandemic-induced contraction in 202021, when ESIC contributors fell by about 30 lakh. The rebound since has been sharp: 1.5 crore new contributors in 202122 and 1.7 crore in 202223, marking a rapid recovery in employment-linked social security coverage. Monthly data through August 2025 show roughly three crore contributors on ESIC rolls, with 1620 lakh new registrations each month. Nearly 70% of these begin contributing immediately, while 2030 lakh contributors exit each month due to job changes, resignations, or crossing the Rs 21,000 salary ceiling. The 2225 and 2628 age groups dominate new registrations, underscoring the influx of young workers into formal employment. EPFO numbers reflect a similar trajectory. Net new provident fund subscribers grew from 15.5 lakh in 201718 to nearly 1.3 crore in 202425. While the pandemic year (202021) saw net additions dip to 77 lakh, the following years rebounded sharply 1.22 crore in 202122 and 1.39 crore in 202223. Between April and July 2025, monthly net additions averaged 1.72.1 million, with the 2225 age group accounting for about a third of new subscribers and the 1821 bracket another significant share. Major industrial and service hubs Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Haryana, Delhi, and Telangana -- contributed more than two-thirds of all new EPF enrolments, highlighting the regional concentration of formal employment opportunities.
INTERVIEW | Communalism is rising in Kerala... but resistance is also building: Aruna Roy
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala has, according to social activist Aruna Roy, been witnessing the rise of communalism, and the resistance to it. In a chat with TNIE, the recipient of the second K R Gouri Amma Award, who was named one of BBCs 100 Women of the Year in 2024, says feminist thought and presence are key to bring to politics a sense of equality and justice. Excerpts: You received the award named after K R Gouri Amma, who was perennially in the running for chief minister... Even the most progressive among us have to learn that feminist thought and feminist presence must be more sharply etched into the politics of every political party and of the world -- to bring to politics a sense of equality and justice, with an overriding humane compassion. The feminists fought for change. They fought for equality. You have to sit down and dialogue, you have to deal with it because it cant immediately become polarised. You were one of the architects of the Right to Information (RTI) Act. Today, many RTI applications are turned down citing confidentiality... Officials cannot say confidential and be done with it. They must cite the exact letter and legislative clause and section under which the information confidential? The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, makes it even harder because it legitimises such denials. What is your perspective on the current state of the federal structure, and the political and cultural tensions across the country? The fight to protect the federal structure must be fought politically. And, I think all states must align and force the central government to give what it has to give. The public space for protest is shrinking... It is present in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, the Northeast. Begin the battle away from Delhi. Why should they all look to Delhi? Delhi is not India. Delhi is just a small state with a lot of government buildings. Lets not view at India as Delhi, or Delhi as India. Thats a mistake we are making. Just because something happens in Delhi, it doesnt become national. Youve been opposing the imposition of Hindi in the country... Hindi is being forced upon us. Im talking about the cultural position. Its not the majority language. The states that are said to be Hindi speaking, Bihar, for instance, have many dialects. Its got Bhojpuri, its got Maithili, and more. So, what is this notion of a Hindi-speaking state? We must bust all these myths and pictures put in front of us. Many people dont really understand either Hindi or English. You have to accept that India is not unicoded. Its a multicoded country. You cant wish away languages and cultures. You cant wish away Muslims, Sikhs, Christians. And this country was not made to be a Hindu state. The dream was to create a secular state, with every community having the right to wish. Having visited Kerala multiple times, what changes have you observed over the years? The whole country has changed, and Kerala is no exception. Yet, Kerala still holds on to some of its core principles. Often, we notice the obvious signs first -- like the rise of communalism. There have been attempts to put pressure on both Kerala and Tamil Nadu in different ways, but I also see resistance building. CM Pinarayi presents K R Gouri Amma Puraskaram to activist Aruna Roy

Patient groups urge PM Modi to enforce Delhi HC order to establish National Fund for Rare Diseases
NEW DELHI: A leading patient group and families of children with ultra-rare diseases across India have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to direct the Union Health Ministry to urgently implement the Delhi High Court order, which recommended establishing a National Fund for Rare Diseases (NFRD) so that dozens of children and young adults, who are on the brink of losing their lives, are not denied treatment. The cry for justice appeal, which was also addressed to Chief Justice of India, BR Gavai, urged him to list and expeditiously hear the pending Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court and to restore the October 4, 2024, order of the Delhi High Court in full. In a landmark decision, the Delhi High Court directed the centre to establish the NFRD with an allocation of Rs 974 crore and to ensure uninterrupted therapy for patients with rare diseases. However, the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry filed an SLP before the Supreme Court, which is still pending. According to Manjit Singh, National President, Lysosomal Storage Disorders Support Society (LSDSS), who wrote the appeal to the prime minister and the CJI, on behalf of patient groups and families of children with ultra-rare diseases across India, the SLP is pending before the SC, thus halting relief for patients. The matter has remained pending for nearly a year while lives continue to be lost. Each week of delay is another irreversible loss. We are not asking for sympathy - we are asking for the implementation of the High Courts order that upholds our childrens right to live with dignity, he added. The case is listed in the apex court for November 7. The lack of timely central funding has forced the treatment discontinuation for over 55 patients located in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Delhi, and Karnataka. This crisis is worsening, with a growing number of patients expected to lose access to care as the delay continues, said the national patient groups. In the past two years alone, nearly 60 patients have died after exhausting the Rs. 50 lakh funding cap, said Singh. He added that over 55 patients also remain untreated for months despite being registered at Centres of Excellence (CoEs) and eligible for approved life-saving therapies. Without urgent intervention, this number will exceed 100 by year-end, he added. Urging for urgent financial assistance for patients who are at high risk of losing their lives due to a delay in decision-making, he said that this will ensure all patients whose funding is exhausted are put back on the life-saving Emergency Response Team (ERT). He also urged the immediate restoration of treatment for those who have exhausted their one-time support. They also advocated for a structural change in the National Policy for Rare Diseases (NPRD), 2021, and to establish a permanent and sustainable funding mechanism for chronic diseases such as Group 3 (a) diseases, moving beyond the inadequate one-time cap. Under the policy, the centre provides financial and technical support for the treatment of 63 identified rare diseases in India. The key features include financial assistance of up to Rs 50 lakhs per patient for treatment at the 12 designated Centres of Excellence (CoEs), including AIIMS, Delhi. The appeal said: We, the undersigned representatives of national patient groups for Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) and other ultra-rare diseases, write with deep anguish - and with faith in your compassion and leadership - on behalf of dozens of children and young adults who are on the brink of losing their lives. These are not children without cures; they are being denied treatment due to administrative delays and the restrictive one-time funding limit under the National Policy for Rare Diseases (NPRD) 2021. Highlighting the anguish of the parents, whose children are suffering from rare diseases, he said, parents across India are watching their children fade after years of stability on treatment. According to Raja Murugappan, Rare Diseases Support Society, Tamil Nadu, The Rs. The 50 lakh limit was never meant to be a death sentence. We appeal to the Supreme Court and the Prime Minister to uphold the hope these families still hold. Jayanta Mudi, father of six-year-old Gaucher patient Adrija from Kolkata, said, My daughters health had improved remarkably when she was on therapy. Since treatment stopped, she has been deteriorating each day. Our children deserve a chance to live. Abul Kalam, father of 10-year-old Abdul Rehman from Delhi, added, My sons therapy stopped in September 2024. His condition is worsening, and we are helpless as the proceedings drag on. We only seek a chance for our children to live. The appeal added that the right to health and life under Article 21 is not an abstraction - it is the only hope for these children. Justice delayed in this matter will mean justice denied, irreversibly. The 63 rare diseases grouped into three categories include a range of genetic and metabolic disorders, including Phenylketonuria, Cystic Fibrosis, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Prader-Willi Syndrome, and various Lysosomal Storage Disorders, a rare genetic metabolic disease.
