Adilabad: Progressive farmers bet on veggies, sell directly
BELA (ADILABAD): Progressive farmers in the Adilabad district are seeing high demand for cauliflower this season, selling at 100 per kg in local markets. The demand has surged due to reduced yields following heavy rains in the area. These progressive farmers encourage small and marginal farmers not to rely solely on commercial crops. Instead, they suggest dedicating one or two acres to vegetable cultivation, which can provide a safeguard in difficult times. These farmers choose to sell their vegetables directly in select markets, avoiding middlemen to secure higher profits. By selling directly, they report earning 30-40 per cent more. They cultivate cauliflower three times a year and supply markets in Bela, Adilabad in Telangana, and Patan, Kurpana, and Mukhudbandh in Maharashtra. A prime example is the Takre family from Maniyarpur village in Bela mandal. Athmaram Takre, 55, along with his wife Savitha and children Anupam and Aishwarya, are all involved in agriculture. Anupam, 24, who holds an MA in Hindi, oversees one acre dedicated to vegetables, yielding 4-5 quintals of cauliflower and earning up to 5 lakh annually. He noted that a single crop cycle takes 70 days from planting to harvest, yielding a profit of 3 lakh on an investment of 2 lakh. The family also cultivates tomatoes, brinjal, mirchi, and palak, with tomatoes and mirchi fetching 50 per kg and brinjal 30 per kg. Athmarams daughter, Aishwarya, an MBA student in Hyderabad, also contributes to the family farm during holidays. She shared that her lifelong involvement in agriculture has fostered a deep interest, and she finds joy in working alongside her family.

Assembly Bypolls in 14 Seats Across U.P, Punjab, and Kerala Rescheduled to November 20
The Election Commission has announced the rescheduling of assembly bypolls in 14 constituencies across three statesUttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Keralafrom November 13 to November 20. The decision was made considering the upcoming festivals, which could impact voter turnout.

In Punjab, voting will now be held on November 20 in Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal (SC), Gidderbaha, and Barnala. The change was prompted by representations pointing out that the 555th Prakash Parv of Sri Guru Nanak Dev falls on November 15, with related observances, including an 'akhand path,' beginning November 13. In Uttar Pradesh, bypolls in nine seatsMeerapur, Kundar, Ghaziabad, Khair (SC), Karhal, Sishamau, Phulpur, Katehari, and Majhawanhave also been rescheduled. Parties highlighted that many voters travel days in advance for Kartik Purnima, which will be celebrated on November 15, potentially affecting voter participation. Similarly, in Kerala, the bypoll for the Palakkad assembly seat was rescheduled to avoid overlap with the Kalpathi Ratholsavam, which runs from November 13 to 15.

Maharashtra Polls: Jarange takes U-turn, says he won't back any party or candidate
JALNA: In a significant shift, Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange announced on Monday that he will not support any candidates or political parties in the upcoming Maharashtra assembly polls . He urged his supporters, who had filed nominations, to withdraw their candidacies. Monday is the last day for withdrawing nominations. The state assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with votes being counted on November 23. Jarange's decision marks a departure from his earlier strategy, in which he had indicated support for certain constituencies and candidates. Speaking to reporters in Antarwali Sarathi village on Monday morning, Jarange stated, After much deliberation, I have decided not to field any candidate in the state. The Maratha community will decide on its own whom to defeat and whom to elect. I have no affiliation with or support for any candidate or political party. The activist emphasized that he was not under any pressure from either the ruling Mahayuti coalition or the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). I am under no pressure from anyone. The community itself will decide whom to support based on their commitment to the Maratha cause, he said. He encouraged voters to seek written or video commitments from candidates regarding their support for Maratha interests. Expressing confidence in the community's electoral influence, Jarange remarked, No one can be elected in this state without the support of Marathas. He urged members of the Maratha community to refrain from attending political rallies and not to be swayed by any party. Those who have wronged or harassed the Maratha community should be taught a lesson through the ballot, he added.

Allu Arjun to address Biharis to kickstart Pushpa 2 promotions?
Undoubtedly, the makers and distributors of Pushpa The Rule have devised a new promotional strategy to penetrate the North India market. The first promotional event would be held in Patna in Bihar and it would be a grand gala one, says a source who claims that some key centers must be explored and tapped into.Unlike in the past, when events in Mumbai and at Delhi, would be enough to Hindi speaking viewers, those days have gone, he adds. Starting with Bihar, they would extend the promotions to UP, Gujarat, Punjab, and Rajasthan to draw more openings for the movie. Cities are being finalized and this time, they are releasing in West Bengal too, so they are drafting a plan to touch big cities and promote their Red Sanders syndicate story. Of course, they would hold events in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and New Delhi. The film should attract crowds even in small town theatres to break opening records from Hindi heartland, he points out Regaining star Allu Arjun has reportedly agreed to spare more time for promotions and he would be personally addressing a few events to expand his fan base and boost the prospects of his much-hyped film. Allu Arjun seems to be determined to deliver a blockbuster with his sequel since its earlier version Pushpa The Rise was a big money-spinner among Hindi viewers, he adds After Prabhas (Kalki 2898 AD) and Jr NTR(Devara) tasted success in North India, Allu Arjun would be hoping to break their records and establish a new pan-India box office record. He has to surpass even Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol, so Allu Arjun will go all out and attract non-Telugu speaking viewers with his charm and witty humor and grab their love and attention, he concludes.

Recently, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah to discuss the issues related to the Union Territory, including early restoration of statehood. According to sources, a special joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament will be held on November 26 to mark the 75th anniversary of adopting the Constitution of India. The joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha is likely to be held in the Central Hall of the Samvidhan Sadan, where the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution on November 26, 1949, and it came into effect on January 26, 1950. If the government introduces the One Nation, One Election Bill in Parliament, it will face stiff resistance as several opposition-ruled states are opposed to the proposal, saying it is against the Constitution.
