'Parivar Together': Pawars Reunite For Pimpri-Chinchwad Civic Polls
Elections to 29 municipal corporations across Maharashtra, including the Pimpri-Chinchwad and Pune civic bodies, will be held on January 15.
Insider track | NIA boss wanted, CVs welcome
The race to find the next National Investigation Agency chief has picked up pace after DG Sadanand Vasant Date was sent back to his home cadre. The 1990-batch officer, feted for his role during 26/11, is now widely tipped to take over as Maharashtra DGP. Names are now being tossed around in closed-door meetings for his successor. Intelligence Bureau chief Tapan Kumar Dekas name did surface, despite him already enjoying two extensions till June 2026. But the mood in government circles favours a 1994-batch officer with solid anti-terror credentials. Several Special DGs in paramilitary forces exist on paper, but none seem to have made the cut. R&AW officers are also being kept out, with continuity preferred amid a fast-changing geopolitical backdrop. Spotlight on Bengals new variable As West Bengal heads toward the 2026 Assembly elections, political attention is turning to Humayun Kabir. The suspended TMC leader, now leading his Janata Unnayana Party, is drawing crowds, particularly among Muslim voters, and plans to contest every Muslim-majority seatincluding TMC strongholds like Ballygunge. Delhi circles are debating whether Kabir could play a role similar to AIMIM in Bihar, splitting the opposition vote and indirectly helping the BJP. While the saffron party remains publicly quiet, opposition leaders worry that Kabirs rise could chip away at the TMCs support more than challenge the BJP. With a new political dynamic emerging, his presence is set to reshape the electoral landscape and make several closely fought constituencies more unpredictable in 2026. Pay panel without a pay office The 8th Central Pay Commission has been announced, named, and chaired, but it still doesnt know where to sit. More than a month after its constitution under former Supreme Court Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, the commission has not been allotted office space. This is despite a looming deadline, as the 7th Pay Commission expires on December 31, 2025, with revised salaries due from January 1, 2026. Though the panel has an 18-month window to submit recommendations, it hasnt formally begun work. Whispers in bureaucratic corridors suggest the delay is tactical: a pay award announcement closer to the 2027 Uttar Pradesh elections, followed by payouts with arrears nearer the 2029 Lok Sabha polls, could be politically convenient. Extension denied, contract supplied The Centre may have said no, but UPs Yogi Adityanath government has proved that administrative detours are always available. After the Union Home Ministry rejected the proposal to extend Prashant Kumars tenure as DGP, the state quietly brought him back on a three-year contract. The 1990-batch retired IPS officer is the new chairman of the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission, which handles recruitment for secondary and higher education teachers. The timing is telling, with the state keeping a close watch on the 2027 Assembly elections. The UPESSC itself is a relatively new creation, formed in 2024 by merging two education recruitment bodies. The message from Lucknow is unmistakable: denial in Delhi does not always mean retirement at home. CWC meets, pens nearly fly The Congress Working Committee meeting had more sparks than planned, and not all of them came from Digvijay Singhs comments on the RSS and BJP. A pointed exchange between Shashi Tharoor and party spokesperson Pawan Khera also raised eyebrows. Tharoor reportedly pressed Khera to detail his public allegations about goings-on in the Prime Ministers Office, linked to claims involving former IAS officer Navneet Sehgal. Khera is said to have explained his position during the meeting, but his parting quip Why dont you also write about it? didnt go unnoticed. Some leaders saw it as a swipe at Tharoors prolific writing and social media posts praising Prime Minister Modi, which have made sections of the party visibly uncomfortable.

Tourists rush to Kashmir after heavy snowfall
SRINAGAR: Fresh snowfall across higher reaches and key tourist destinations in Kashmir has revived the Valleys tourism sector, which had suffered a major setback following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam. North Kashmirs ski resort Gulmarg has emerged as the biggest beneficiary, with hotels reporting full occupancy for the New Year period. Blanketed in thick snow after last weeks heavy spell, the first major snowfall of the winter season, Gulmarg has witnessed a sharp surge in tourist arrivals, far exceeding industry expectations. The snowfall has had a very positive and significant impact on winter tourism. All hotels in Gulmarg are sold out. We were not expecting such a rush, but tourist inflow has surpassed our expectations, Travel Agents Association of Kashmir (TAAK) president Farooq Ahmad Kuthoo said. He added that the snowfall has prompted travellers to reconsider their winter plans, resulting in a noticeable increase in enquiries for January and February as well. These are encouraging signs for the tourism industry, Kuthoo added. Echoing similar sentiments, Mukhtar Ahmad Shah, a hotelier in Gulmarg, said tourist sentiment has improved significantly after the snowfall. Earlier, people were hesitant to visit, but snowfall has changed the mood of travellers. With another spell of snowfall forecast around New Years Eve, Shah said prospects for the rest of the winter look promising. Tourists visiting Gulmarg described the experience as unforgettable. A group from Hyderabad said the snow-covered meadows and peaks offered a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This truly feels like paradise on earth. The hospitality of the people makes the visit even more special, they said. TAAK secretary general and tour operator Sajad Kralyari said bookings have risen sharply after the snowfall. Tourist footfall in the Valley has increased from around 20 per cent to nearly 4045 per cent, and Gulmarg is witnessing near-total occupancy, he said. Tourists from south Indian states, Maharashtra and Gujarat are arriving in large numbers to enjoy snowfall and winter sports such as skiing. Sajad added that visitors from Malaysia, Vietnam and other foreign countries have also reached Kashmir, and foreign tourist inflow could rise further if snowfall conditions remain favourable for skiing. Tourism stakeholders said sustained snowfall could help the sector recover steadily after months of uncertainty. More snow could strengthen the winter season and pave the way for a better summer ahead, they said.
Rare leopard Gecko lizard found accidentally in MP tiger sanctuary
BHOPAL: In a rare wildlife sighting, a laundry staff at the Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR) in Madhya Pradesh has photographed a colourful and possibly rare lizard species, marking what officials say could be the first such record from the reserve. Anil Rajak, a laundry staff at the forest departments guest house in the Karmajhiri range of the tiger reserve, spotted the multi-hued lizard crawling through dry leaves near the guest house recently. Struck by its vivid colours, Rajak clicked photographs on his mobile phone and shared them with forest officials. I was amazed by the different colours on the lizards body. We have been encouraged by senior officers to report unusual wildlife sightings, so I shared the pictures, without realising what would follow, Rajak said. According to PTR Deputy Director Rajnish Kumar Singh, preliminary examination suggests the lizard could belong to either the Painted Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis pictus) or the Satpura Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis satpuraensis). This is the first time such a lizard has been photographed in the reserve. We are matching the images with available reptile databases to confirm the species, Singh said. The Painted Leopard Gecko was scientifically described in 2022 from the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha and is considered rare, with threats including illegal pet trade. The Satpura Leopard Gecko, meanwhile, is endemic to parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. If confirmed, the sighting would be the first record of either species from PTR. The chance discovery earned Rajak the tiger reserves Man of the Month award, comprising a certificate and shield.

Congress, VBA seal alliance for BMC polls
MUMBAI: The Congress party and Dalit leader Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) on Sunday cemented the alliance for Brihanmumbai Municipal corporation (BMC) elections in Mumbai. According to the alliance agreement, out of total 227 seats of BMC, the VBA will contest the 62 Seats while remaining 165 seats will be contested by the Congress party. The alliance between Congress and VBA was agreed in the presence of Maharashtra Congress President Harshvardhan Sapkal and VBA State Vice President Dr Dhairyavardhan Pundkar. Maharashtra Congress president Harshvardhan Sapkal called this alliance as a new Chapter in state politics. Sapkal said Congress and the VBA had agreed to an alliance for the BMC, while decisions on the remaining 28 municipal corporations in the state would be taken at the local level. He said the announcement, made on the Congress partys foundation day, was significant for the alliance. The alliance between the Congress and the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi is a natural one. Both parties share the same ideological foundation. Both are committed to constitutional values and to building an India envisioned by the Constitution. Their stance on equality, fraternity, and social justice is identical, and neither party is willing to compromise on constitutional principles, he added. He further said that both the parties allied in 1998 and 1999 elections. Now, after 25 years, we have come together once again. While the process took some time, a new chapter begins from today, Sapkal added. This is not a game of numbers, but a meeting of ideas. Meanwhile, Pundkar said that both parties have come together to stop the divisive and destructive politics of the BJP. He noted that Harshvardhan Sapkal took the first step towards the alliance and maintained a positive approach from the very beginning. Pundkar also said that the party will contest 62 seats in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. VBA Vice President Siddharth Mokale said that discussions on seat-sharing in any alliance are rarely fully satisfactory, but a consensus must be reached at some point. He stated that positive discussions took place from both sides for the alliance. While the alliance for the Mumbai Municipal Corporation has been announced today, decisions regarding other municipal corporations will be taken positively by the local leadership of both parties, Mokale said.
