Rahul says Gyanesh Kumar would be removed, warns PM Modi, Shah they are next after CEC,
New Delhi, Nov 1: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday warned Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah that they would face consequences over alleged electoral irregularities, declaring that Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar would be removed from office and sent to jail. Addressing the INDIA blocs Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao rally at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi said, After Gyanesh, you are next, reports The Times of India (TOI). Gyanesh Kumar will be removed as CEC, he will go to jail, he said. This is not an ordinary theft. This is treason, Rahul Gandhi said, accusing the BJP of stealing votes in several state Assembly elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He alleged that electoral manipulation had taken place in Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Karnataka, besides the 2024 general elections. The Congress leader said the INDIA bloc would not allow democracy to be destroyed or the Constitution to be undermined. The rally was organised to protest against alleged electoral irregularities and demand the resignation of the CEC. Opposition parties have repeatedly accused the BJP of benefiting from alleged manipulation of electoral rolls and electronic voting machines (EVMs), charges the ruling party has rejected. Opposition leaders march to Ramlila Maidan The INDIA blocs Chalo Dilli march began from the Minto Road-Connaught Place junction, with Opposition leaders, including Farooq Abdullah, former Chief Minister of J&K, Mehbooba Mufti, former chief minister of J&K, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, who also spoke to the crowd, voicing save the constitution at the Ramlila Maidan. Press Trust of India reported Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said the Ramlila Maidan has turned into the Haldighati of democracy with a massive turnout of people and asserted that this is indicative of change that is in the offing, as he asserted that those who came to power at the Centre through Uttar Pradesh will also exit from there. Taking a dig at the BJP, Yadav said those who speak of having a firm, immovable stance -- likening it to the unshakeable foot of Angad -- should consider where they would even place that foot, given that there is no ground left to stand on. Addressing the INDIA bloc rally at Delhis Ramlila Maidan against vote chori, Akhilesh referred to the recent MLC polls and said the people of Kashi (Varanasi) have reduced the double-engine government to a double zero. The rally followed the Oppositions mock impeachment proceedings against CEC Gyanesh Kumar, held on Saturday at the residence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. The latest confrontation comes amid the Oppositions continuing allegations of vote chori and its objections to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in several states. Rahul alleges BJP forced shops shut Rahul Gandhi also accused the BJP of forcibly shutting shops in Connaught Place, alleging that the move caused losses to local traders. According to the Press Trust of India (PTI), Rahul Gandhi made the allegation in a video recorded while he was travelling in an open vehicle towards the Minto Road-Connaught Place junction. He said the INDIA bloc had appealed to people attending the rally to shop at local markets during the festive season to support traders. But upon reaching Connaught Place, we learned that the BJP has forcibly shut down all the shops. The country is watching how the BJP is causing loss to the shopkeepers, Gandhi said. On Saturday night, he had urged people travelling to Delhi for the march and rally to purchase goods from local shops ahead of Diwali, Chhath and Bhai Dooj. Rahul Gandhi had accused the BJP of spreading rumours that the Oppositions programme would hurt businesses, saying the rally and shopping could take place together. Nearly 10,000 police and paramilitary personnel were deployed in central Delhi for the rally, while more than 200 CCTV cameras were installed in the area, Hindustan Times reported. Police said arrangements had been made to facilitate the march and manage crowds at the venue. While the INDIA bloc expected a large turnout from different states, police preparations were based on Ramlila Maidans capacity of around 50,000 people, with any overflow to be managed on surrounding streets. The Oppositions campaign against the CEC gathered momentum after a report by The Indian Express last month said Election Commissioners had objected to decisions taken by the CEC on 14 occasions over a 10-month period. The Election Commission maintained that its decisions had been unanimous.

Chhattisgarh: Saur Sujala Yojana cuts down costs, enhances income of farmers
Digital Desk | Dhamtari (Chhattisgarh), Nov 1 (IANS) The Saur Sujala Yojana, a solar irrigation scheme of the Chhattisgarh government, is doing wonders for the farmers of Dhamtari district as many of them, having installed solar pumps under the scheme, are benefiting from it. Many residents of Dhamtari, having subscribed to the scheme, have installed solar pumps in the fields, and this has reduced their agricultural costs, including electricity bills. A couple of farmers in Dhamtari district spoke to IANS and shared their experience and how this scheme was having a positive impact on their pockets. Indresh Ghate, a local farmer, said that he previously relied on expensive grid electricity for irrigation but now was using solar energy to irrigate his fields, and this has significantly lowered his operational costs. According to Indresh Ghate, the installation of a solar pump allowed him to irrigate his fields at any time during the day. This not only eased the burden of electricity costs but has also made irrigation of fields much more convenient. Indresh says that the 'Saur Sujala Yojana' helped reduce his farming expenses and increase his income. Furthermore, using solar energy for irrigation is also environmentally friendly. Expressing his gratitude to the government for the initiative, the farmer stated that the scheme has empowered him to become self-reliant. Describing this as a programme to bring prosperity to the lives of farmers, he said that farmers in Dhamtari are increasingly adopting solar energy, making agriculture both easier and more cost-effective. Ghate told IANS, I cultivate five acres of land. Previously, I had to depend on grid electricity for irrigation, which resulted in very high electricity bills. Upon learning about the 'Saur Sujala Yojana,' I had solar panels installed on my farm. This has freed me from high electricity bills and has doubled my income. I express my gratitude to PM Modi for giving the country a new identity. Under his leadership, the nation is making significant progress, he added.

Chhattisgarh: Six interstate drug traffickers held; 88 kg of cannabis worth Rs 44 lakh seized
Digital Desk | Mahasamund (Chhattisgarh), Nov 1 (IANS) In a major crackdown on interstate drug trafficking, Mahasamund Police in Chhattisgarh have arrested six persons from Maharashtra and seized 88 kilograms of cannabis (ganja) worth approximately Rs 44 lakh.

According to the police, the total value of the seized property, including the contraband, vehicles, cash and mobile phones, stands at Rs 53.73 lakh. The operation was launched following specific intelligence inputs that cannabis was being transported in a pickup vehicle, escorted by a Maruti Swift Dzire car. Acting on the information, police established a blockade on National Highway 53 in front of Patewa Police Station. The Swift Dzire, bearing registration number MH-46 X-5682, was intercepted first. Three occupants were questioned, but no contraband was found in the car. Shortly afterwards, police stopped the suspected white pickup vehicle bearing registration number MH-21 BH-9873. During its search, officers recovered 88 kilograms of cannabis packed in three plastic sacks. Police said the consignment had allegedly been brought from Katamal in Odisha's Bargarh district and was being transported to Maharashtra for distribution.

CHL 2026: Mainpat Titans beat Bailadila Bulls 3-1; to face Sanskardhani Strikers in final
Digital Desk | Raipur, Nov 1 (IANS) Mainpat Titans will face Sanskardhani Strikers in the final of the Chhattisgarh Hockey League (CHL) on Sunday, after Pradeep Mors team got the better of Chinglensana Singhs Bailadila Bulls 3-1 in the second semifinal on Saturday. This result came after Strikers emerged victorious 6-3 versus Nyayadhani Knights to enter the summit clash. Unlike the first semifinal, the one between Bulls and Titans proved to be a quieter affair. Not taking away anything from the quality of the match, both teams put their best hockey on display. Sandeep Kumar opened the scoring for the Titans through a PC, and that remained the only goal from either side till the end of the first half. It was the kind of half where both sides ground it out in the middle, with a lot of circle penetrations, and an equal number of tackles. A word for the defence: both were top-notch and did not commit mistakes in the circle to let the opposition get a lot of PCs. Trying to break the deadlock, Mohit Nayak had a solid chance to score for Mainpat twice, but Bulls keeper Daleshwar Yadav did not give him an inch. Jaskaran Singh, on the other hand, missed the PC for Bulls, keeping them at nought, all credit to keeper Alfaz Khan. A similar story unfolded for Jaskaran in the last quarter, where he could not put enough power behind his shot to miss another PC. The match was sealed by Titans in the second quarter, when Prince Bhagat scored with 10 minutes left on the clock. He went deep in the circle and came up with a perfect deflection to get the goal, taking the score to 2-0. From there on, there was no chance for Bailadila to make a comeback, while Mainpat went for the kill. Prince scored again, his second of the encounter. In the dying moments of the match, Ankit Kujur did come up with a consolation goal, taking the score to 3-1, but that hardly helped the teams cause. Underdogs Sanskardhani Strikers play reverse uno card on Nyayadhani Knights. The first semifinal of the CHL 2026 has to be one of the finest in the entire tournament, where Sanskardhani thrashed Nyayadhani 6-3 to enter the final. Finest, in terms of the skills on display from both sides, where neither wanted to back down, but one where eventually Strikers prevailed, despite being the underdogs. Coming to the proceedings of the match, the scoring was opened by the Strikers fairly soon in the 1st quarter, when Shahrukh netted a goal on the flick, towards the right corner of the post. Soon, Knights Adarsh returned the favour with a field goal as well, bringing the score to 1-1. Just before the 15-minute mark in the encounter, Nyayadhani got their second when Chirag converted a goal after being fed a ball from the midfield, bypassing all the Strikers defenders. A similar pace, perhaps even better, was brought into the second quarter by both the teams, as goals came at a lightning pace. Then, Ashish Tani Purti scored his 13th in CHL 2026 via a PC and became the highest scorer. After that, a moment of brilliance came from the stick of Arbaj Ali in the 24th minute, when he scored his first goal. The third quarter saw Shahrukh equalize with a field goal, dodging a couple of Knights defenders. Meanwhile, Shahrukh completed his hat-trick soon after, when Shamsher missed a PC chance, and the former scored on the rebound. Sanskardhani ended any sort of competition in the last quarter, when Aryan Xess scored the fifth goal for his team. He received a deft pass in the circle, cleanly deflecting the ball into the post. Rubbing salt in the wounds, Om Kumar Yadav teamed up with Nishant Tirkey to build an unassailable lead to 6-3.

Telanganas Greyhounds, described as a specialised force of 1,250 commandos, were also part of the parade. The announcer highlighted their operations in the Karegutta hills. The parade also featured West Bengal Polices Counter Insurgency Force, the National Cadet Corps and a CRPF-led dog squad. The latter comprised sniffer dogs trained to detect explosives and assist in identifying ambush-related threats. The event concluded this segment with a National School of Drama production titled Naxal-free India. Conceived, written and directed by NSD director Chittaranjan Tripathi, the presentation traced the movements beginnings in Naxalbari in West Bengal in 1967 and the subsequent efforts to restore peace in areas affected by Left-wing extremism. Its performers included NSD repertory artists and tribal artists from Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Odisha. The announcer said several had travelled from their villages carrying their languages, songs and folk traditions to perform on a national platform.

Digital Desk | Raipur, Oct 30 (IANS) Bailadila Bulls could not have asked for a better match for themselves, coming into the last league match. They needed a miracle to make it to the semis, and they did just that, as they thrashed Chakradhar Champions 6-2 to oust them from the Chhattisgarh Hockey League. That scoreline meant Sanskardhani Strikers also confirmed their entry into the knockouts of the tournament. So now, as the top qualifiers, Nyayadhani Knights take on Sanskardhani on Sunday at 5.30 PM, followed by Bailadila vs Mainpat at 7.30 PM. Prior to the start of the match, Chinglensana Singhs teams task was cut out perform or perish, and they chose the former. Anand started off by scoring in the first minute itself, making his teams intentions clear. He came up with a reverse flick in the opening attack that hit the net. Bulls showed great intent to score, especially after what had happened in the first match. The moment of the first quarter was when Daleshwar Yadav saved a penalty stroke against Yuvraj Walmiki, keeping Champions away from a goal. Bulls converted their stroke, though. Jaskaran Singh got his 7th goal of CHL 2026, to increase the lead to 2-0. A few minutes later, he got to his third, this time through a PC. All in all, the foundations of a big Bulls win were laid. Jaskaran did not stop in the crunch match. He converted his fourth, through a PC in the third quarter. Anand did not want to be far behind, and got yet another goal when he beat a few Champions defenders and sounded the board. Soon after, Gopal scored on a PC rebound, bringing their goal difference to +2, and sealing a semis spot. For Chakradhar, it was complete heartbreak even though SV Sunil did create chances for his team, but coordination among the forward line was lacking. There were a few solid passes by the skipper in the circle, but there was no one available for a deflection. Somehow, Khogeshwar Bag managed to net one in the second quarter. Walmiki scored on the reverse late in the last quarter, but not enough to take them to the last four. In fact, apart from those two strikes, circle penetrations were few and scattered for the Champions. Shamshers team, Sankardhani Strikers, performed beyond expectations against the mighty Mainpat Titans, and beat them 4-0 in their last league battle. Yes, their qualification was heavily dependent on the Bulls vs Chakradhar match, but in hindsight, they had done enough. With Ashish Tani Purti scoring a hat-trick, taking his goal tally to 12, Strikers maintained a goal difference of +2, only solidifying their chances. Coming to how the four quarters unfolded, Sanskardhani started cautiously, but they were up against the Titans, who easily possess the best defensive line in the tournament, having conceded only 7 goals (Before match 14). So, what unfolded in the first quarter (scoreline of 0-0) was only expected. But Ashish opened the scoring for Strikers, with a bullet drag flick in the opening minutes of the second quarter that even Pradeep Mor could not stop. After that, a few chances went begging, with the score remaining at 1-0 in favour of the Strikers. Ashish once again scored in a similar fashion, in the third quarter this time, his 11th goal of the season, perhaps making him the most successful young player of CHL 2026. But he wasnt done yet. He increased the lead, again by a PC conversion, and this time the Titans' battery had no chance. In the dying moments, the Strikers also got a field goal, with Shahrukh coming with the pass, and Om Kumar Yadav netting the goal. Surprisingly, Mainpats forward line did not have their best game, as chances hardly came for them in the latter half. In fact, maintaining possession looked difficult. Having said that, this is not the end of the road for them. Mors team is in the semis already, and definitely is in contention to make the final.

India targets 5 million metric tonnes annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS) India aims to develop 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, an official factsheet said on Wednesday. This transition can reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and strengthen the countrys long-term energy security. The National Green Hydrogen Mission marks an important step towards building a cleaner, more self-reliant and globally competitive energy economy. The Mission is expected to reduce cumulative fossil fuel imports by approximately Rs 1 lakh crore by 2030. Beyond energy security, the Mission seeks to create new opportunities for industrial growth, investment and employment. It is expected to mobilise over Rs 8 lakh crore in investments and generate more than 6 lakh jobs across manufacturing, infrastructure, research, and project development. The production and use of the targeted green hydrogen quantum could also help avert nearly 50 MMT of carbon dioxide emissions annually, according to the factsheet. Moreover, six States have notified dedicated green hydrogen policies, complementing the National Green Hydrogen Mission. Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and West Bengal are the States with notified dedicated policies. Four more states are finalising their dedicated green hydrogen policies. Haryana, Punjab, Bihar and Kerala are working on the draft policies. Seven States have integrated hydrogen into their existing industrial and renewable energy policy frameworks. These include Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana and Chhattisgarh. Moreover, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), directly or through the National Institute of Solar Energy, has signed MoUs, Letters of Intent or Joint Declarations of Intent. The partners are Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Uzbekistan. An MoU on renewable energy has been signed with the Netherlands. An IndiaUS Hydrogen Task Force has been formed under the Strategic Clean Energy Partnership. Green hydrogen is a focus area of the IndiaUS New and Emerging Renewable Energy Technology Action Platform (RETAP). The MNRE launched the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme of India in April 2025. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) accredits agencies for monitoring, verification and certification. A dedicated portal went live in June 2026 for transparent certification and compliance. Credible certification will help Indian producers compete with confidence globally. Through these efforts, the government aims to accelerate industrial decarbonisation, strengthen domestic manufacturing and position India as a global hub for green hydrogen production, use and exports. This will contribute to Indias broader vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047 and its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

Chhattisgarh Hockey League: Nyayadhani Knights enter semis; Sanskardhani Strikers secure first win
Digital Desk | Raipur, Oct 27 (IANS) It was another eventful day in Raipur, as Nyayadhani Knights entered the semis by virtue of continuing to be top of the points table, after they played out a 4-4 draw against Chakradhar Champions in the first match; the second witnessed a maiden win for Sanskardhani Strikers, as they got the better of Rajdhani Royals 4-2. Talking about Match No. 10, Yuvraj Walmiki emerged as the hero for the Champions with three goals, while Ketan displayed his best hockey for the Knights. The first quarter was the one where teams just tested the waters and played conservative hockey. Come the second, Ketan and Adarsh opened the scoring for Nyayadhani, when the former beat at least four defenders in his run from the right flank, entering the circle with much ease. He then passed the ball to Adarsh in the last moment, who netted it. The second goal didnt take much time to come; again Ketan entered the circle through the left this time, and Sonu Nishad was the one who came up with the deflection, to take their team to 2-1 at half-time. A similar story started unfolding in the third quarter. Chirag missed, but Ketan found himself right in front of the goal to score his first, bringing their tally to four. Meanwhile, Walmiki scored two via penalty strokes, and the third one was a field goal, after being injected a ball from Sunil just outside the circle. The former went in for a reverse flick that landed in the post. Completing his second hat-trick of the tournament, he looked good for his fourth as well...but Khogeshwar was awarded for a deflection. Strikers finally arrived. After struggling in the first three encounters, the Shamsher-led Strikers struck top form, with two goals each coming from Ashish Tani Purti and Shahrukh. In this battle, both sides had a lot at stake. It was their only chance to stay alive, with neither having managed to secure a win before this encounter. And the pressure showed initially. Both teams had a slow start. Attacks and circle penetrations were hard to come by for them, while the focus was on maintaining possession. Still, Ashish managed to open the scoring through a PC for Strikers. After a bit of a struggle, Royals too came back in the match, just before the half-time hooter, with Raushan scoring on the reverse. It was an excellent run of play as he dodged a few in the circle, found some space on the left, and then executed the shot to draw parity. Rajdhanis defence was largely good, but the slightest of mistakes of leaving Shahrukh unmarked meant he scored from just inside the circle, through a reverse flick. There was no looking back from that moment for Sanskardhani. Ashish converted yet another PC to take his tournament total to 9 goals. Shahrukh again struck, with a minute left in the third quarter, after getting a solid pass right in front of the post from the right flank. It was only a question of increasing the lead now. Nonetheless, Lalit got on the scorers sheet too for Rajdhani, when he got one into the net, on the rebound from a PC. That also marked the end of the proceedings, with Ashish winning the striker of the match award, and Shahrukh clinching the Player of the Match award.
