Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 22 (IANS) The political tussle over the Tijara Municipal Council Chairperson election, which began on Monday morning, continued late into the night. Following intervention by the Rajasthan High Court, the voting deadline was extended, first to 8 p.m. and later to 10 p.m., amid delays in councilors reaching the polling station. The election result was declared after 10 p.m. with Congress candidate Ramavatar Saini winning the Chairperson's post with 18 votes. Returning Officer and SDM Divya handed him the certificate of election. The Tijara Municipal Council has 35 councilors, and 18 votes were required to secure the Chairperson's post. The dispute reached the Rajasthan High Court following allegations that Congress-backed councilors were stopped in Haryana while returning from a camp in Himachal Pradesh. Congress leaders alleged that the councilors were intercepted near Panchkula while entering Haryana and were unable to reach Tijara in time for the scheduled voting. The matter was heard by a single Bench of the Rajasthan High Court presided over by Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand. The court directed the ADM of Bhiwadi to submit a report on the incident to the State Election Commission. Following the developments, the voting deadline was extended to allow the election process to continue. Voting, initially scheduled until 8 p.m., was subsequently extended until 10 p.m. because of delays in the arrival of the councilors. The State Election Commission's instructions stated that if all councilors completed voting before 10 p.m., counting would begin immediately after polling concluded. Earlier, at around 3:30 a.m. on Monday, former MLA Sandeep Yadav, District Congress President Balram Yadav, and Congress candidate Ramavatar Saini, accompanied by party workers, reached the Returning Officer's residence. They demanded that the election be postponed until the detained councilors were brought safely to Tijara. A complaint was subsequently lodged with Tijara police station SHO Jaiprakash. Congress leaders claimed that some councilors had expressed concerns through video messages, saying they had been taken to an undisclosed location and feared for their safety. Congress workers later staged a protest near the police station. Congress leaders also alleged that former MLA Sandeep Yadav was detained for several hours at Farrukhnagar near Gurugram. The police version of events regarding the allegation had not been released at the time of the filing of the report. The Congress questioned the circumstances surrounding the alleged detention of the councilors, while the developments surrounding the election were taken up before the Rajasthan High Court and the State Election Commission. On Monday morning, former MLA Sandeep Yadav, District Congress President Balram Yadav, Congress candidate Ramavatar Saini, Block President Dharmpal Gurjar, and Deputy Pradhan Dayaram Chavda, along with women and other party workers, gathered near the police station. The protesters raised slogans demanding that the councilors be brought safely to Tijara and allowed to participate in the election. By 2 p.m., reports indicated that 16 of the 35 councilors had cast their votes. Meanwhile, the matter was taken up by the Rajasthan High Court. In compliance with the State Election Commission's order, voting for the Tijara Municipal Council Chairperson election was allowed to continue until 10 p.m.. The order stated that if all councilors completed voting before the deadline, counting would begin immediately after polling ended. The election result was subsequently declared after 10 p.m., with Ramavatar Saini securing the Chairperson post with 18 votes.
Delhi-NCR to remain dry as IMD forecasts clear skies; mercury to touch 34 degree Celsius
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 22 (IANS) The national Capital is likely to witness clear skies and relatively pleasant weather on Tuesday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a minimum temperature of around 24 degree Celsius and a maximum of nearly 34 degree Celsius. According to the weather agency, Delhi is expected to remain largely dry throughout the day, marking a change from the cloudy conditions and occasional showers witnessed recently. The forecast of clearer skies could provide some relief from the persistent humidity experienced across the city over the past few weeks. The relative humidity is likely to remain around 60 per cent, while weather conditions are expected to be generally comfortable for residents. However, temperatures are likely to rise during the afternoon before easing later in the day. Among the weather stations in the national Capital, Palam is likely to record a minimum temperature of around 23 degree Celsius. Lodi Road and Ayanagar may register minimum temperatures of 24.3 degree Celsius and 24.2 degree Celsius, respectively. The Ridge could witness a comparatively cooler morning, with the minimum temperature expected to settle at around 22.5 degree Celsius. While Delhi-NCR is likely to remain dry on Tuesday, several other parts of the country are expected to experience rainfall and thunderstorms in the coming days due to a weather system developing over the Bay of Bengal. Odisha is likely to witness some of the most intense weather activity as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal becomes more organised. The system is expected to move towards the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast and reach the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal near the coast around the morning of September 23. The IMD has issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall exceeding 20 cm in Kandhamal, Gajapati, Ganjam and Puri on September 23. A similar red alert has been issued for Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Rayagada for September 24. Rainfall is expected to remain active across Odisha until September 27, with different districts placed under red, orange and yellow alerts depending on the anticipated intensity of rainfall. Kerala is also likely to experience wet conditions during the week. Light to moderate rainfall has been forecast in several areas between September 21 and 25, while isolated heavy showers are possible in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur. The IMD has advised residents in areas vulnerable to waterlogging and landslides to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities. Weather activity is also expected to increase across parts of the Northeast and eastern India. Assam and Meghalaya may experience thunderstorms and lightning on September 22, followed by heavy rainfall between September 23 and 25. Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim could witness thunderstorms, lightning and squally conditions on September 22. Heavy rainfall is likely in these areas on September 23 and 24, while very heavy showers are possible on September 25. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to see increased rainfall activity from September 24, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions. Similar weather is likely to develop over West Uttar Pradesh from September 25. In contrast, Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, is unlikely to receive significant rainfall on Tuesday. The region is expected to remain predominantly dry as the southwest monsoon continues to withdraw from northwest India. However, weather conditions could become more active towards the end of the week, with the IMD forecasting thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi between September 25 and 27. The developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to remain the primary factor influencing rainfall and thunderstorm activity across several parts of the country in the coming days.

Fight against drugs must be peoples movement: Haryana CM
Digital Desk | Fazilka, Sep 21 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday said Punjab was once known for its prosperity, vibrancy and hardworking youth. Still, today the drug menace has emerged as a major challenge to the future of its young generation. He stressed that turning the campaign against drugs into a peoples movement is the need of the hour. Addressing a gathering after joining the fourth phase of the Nasha Mukti Yatra in Fazilka, Saini said the fight against drugs is not a political party's fight, but a fight to save the youth and future generations. He said the Yatra, which began on September 18, will continue till September 30 and cover around 4,000 km across all 117 Assembly constituencies of Punjab. Saini added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is fighting the drug menace with determination and every section of society should ensure its participation in this campaign. Criticising the Aam Aadmi Party government, he said it had promised to eradicate drugs within six months. Still, the problem remains serious even as the government enters the final phase of its tenure. He also said the government had not fulfilled its promises to employ youth. Saini recalled that when industrialists from Punjab met him at his residence in Chandigarh and expressed their desire to set up industries in Haryana, he advised them to establish industries in Punjab itself to provide employment opportunities to the youth there. He claimed that the people of Punjab had made up their minds for change and that the coming time would belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Highlighting Haryanas governance, Saini said the state government has provided jobs to youth through a transparent system. He added that he meets many people at his residence daily and works to resolve their problems. He said the Haryana Government has fulfilled 70 of the 217 commitments made before the elections and has advanced several schemes for the welfare of women, farmers, people with low incomes and youth. He emphasised that the fight against drugs cannot be confined to law enforcement alone. Treatment, rehabilitation, sports and employment opportunities must also be taken forward simultaneously. He said Haryana is providing free treatment facilities at de-addiction centres, while special emphasis is being laid on connecting youth with sports and other positive activities.

From Lal Ded to Article 370: CM Sainis Kashmir pitch to Pandits in Haryana
From the legacy of Kashmirs mystic poet Lal Ded to the political changes following the abrogation of Article 370, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday framed his governments outreach to Kashmiri Pandits around culture, welfare and the communitys post-migration concerns. Addressing a gathering in Gurugram to mark the 705th birth anniversary of Mata Lalleshwari, popularly known as Lal Ded, Saini highlighted what he described as measures taken by the Haryana government for Kashmiri Pandit families, including 10 per cent reservation in education for their children. The Haryana government has provided 10 per cent reservation in education for the children of Kashmiri Pandits in Haryana, Saini said. The Chief Minister said a sizeable Kashmiri Pandit population lives across Haryana, particularly in Gurugram, Faridabad and Panchkula, besides Ambala, Karnal, Panipat and Bahadurgarh. Saini also referred to the allocation of plots in Bahadurgarh to Kashmiri Pandit families who had purchased land decades ago. The allotment followed a long-running dispute involving land acquired by displaced families in the early 1990s. Beyond education and land, Saini said his government was working towards creating housing and employment opportunities for Kashmiri Pandits living in Haryana. The Chief Minister also linked his governments approach towards the community to the broader political changes in Jammu and Kashmir. Referring to the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, he credited Prime Minister Narendra Modis government with strengthening what he described as the unity and integration of the country. The event was organised by the Kashmiri Hindu Prakosth and Bani Mandir. A delegation of the Kashmiri Hindu Prakosth had met Saini earlier this month and invited him to the programme, raising issues concerning the Kashmiri community and seeking government intervention. According to the organisers, the choice of Lal Deds birth anniversary provided a cultural backdrop to an address that largely focused on the contemporary concerns of Kashmiri Pandits living outside the Valley. These sorts of functions give us an opportunity to connect to our community and the roots, Pankaj Dhar, an organiser said. Lal Ded, also known as Lalleshwari, occupies a central place in Kashmirs medieval literary and spiritual tradition. Her Kashmiri vaakhs remain an important part of the regions cultural heritage and are associated with the broader Shaivite and Sufi traditions of Kashmir.

Fight decisive battle against drugs: Shivraj Singh Chouhan to Punjabis
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 19 (IANS) Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday called on the people of Punjab to fight a decisive battle against drugs. Punjab is currently going through a serious drug crisis. Drugs have devastated many families and ruined the lives and futures of numerous young people, Chouhan said in a video message posted on X. Under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slogan Eradicate Drugs, the party is organising the Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra across Punjab. The campaign began on September 18 in Madhopur, Pathankot. As part of the campaign, yatras are being taken out from four locations. After offering prayers at Takht Sri Damdama Sahib in Talwandi Sabo, Chouhan and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will flag off the fourth yatra on September 21. Expressing concern over the drug crisis ahead of his Punjab visit, Chouhan said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab had failed badly in addressing the problem. He said the time had now come for the people of Punjab to wage a decisive battle against drugs. With this objective, the BJP is organising its Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra from September 18 to September 30. Appealing to the people of Punjab, Chouhan said, My sisters and brothers of Punjab, elders, sons and daughters, come forward and participate in this yatra in large numbers to make Punjab drug-free. Let us fight a decisive battle against drugs so that Punjab can be made drug-free. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday flagged off the second Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra from Fatehgarh Sahib town. She said, When Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann came to power in Punjab, they promised to eliminate drugs from the state within three months. The deadline was extended, first by three months and then by four months, and has now been extended six times. A government that keeps giving new deadlines cannot be expected to eradicate drugs. Gupta added that the 13-day yatra would become a campaign to free Punjab from the AAP government. Before launching the yatra, she paid obeisance at a historic gurdwara located on the sacred land that witnessed the martyrdom of the younger Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh.

Maruti's vehicle dispatches via in-plant rail terminals reach 1 million
Maruti Suzuki India on Friday said it has reached a milestone of dispatching 1 million vehicles through in-plant railway terminals in just over three years since opening dedicated transportation lines at two manufacturing sites in Gujarat and Haryana. Operations from in-plant railway sidings at Hansalpur (Gujarat) commenced in March 2023 and from the Manesar (Haryana) railway siding in June 2025. In the current financial year, the automaker said that 70 per cent of its total rail-based vehicle dispatches have been through these two in-plant railway sidings, and its mid-term goal is to increase such dispatches to 35 per cent by FY31. As of August 31 of this fiscal year, the company's rail-based vehicle dispatches have crossed 3 lakh units, it said. An in-plant railway terminal inside a manufacturing facility allows goods to be loaded onto freight trains within the plant, eliminating the need for trucks to access the nearest railway stations before entering the supply network.

SC stays Punjab and Haryana HC ruling declaring IT Act's Section 147A unconstitutional
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the operation of a Punjab and Haryana High Court judgment which had declared Section 147A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 unconstitutional and set aside reassessment notices issued by jurisdictional Assessing Officers. A bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and K. Vinod Chandran passed the interim order while hearing a special leave petition (SLP) filed by the Union of India and other Income Tax authorities challenging the High Court judgment passed on September 10. In the interim, the apex court directed that the assessment proceedings shall not proceed further until the final disposal of the main matter and ordered that the case be listed for final hearing on December 3. The impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court shall remain stayed on the condition that the assessment proceedings shall not proceed further till the final disposal of the main matter, the Justice Pardiwala-led Bench ordered. The proceedings stemmed from a batch of petitions before the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the constitutional validity of Section 147A of the Income Tax Act, introduced retrospectively with effect from April 1, 2021, through the Finance Bill, 2026. The petitioners had sought a declaration that Section 147A was ultra vires Articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 265 of the Constitution. They also challenged notices issued under Section 148 of the Act, contending that the notices had not been issued through the automated allocation mechanism prescribed under Section 151A of the Act and the scheme framed thereunder. The High Court, in its judgment pronounced on September 10, had held that the retrospective introduction of Section 147A could not override the existing statutory framework requiring randomised allocation and faceless proceedings. A Division Bench of Justices Deepak Sibal and Rupinderjit Chahal had observed that Section 147A sought to clarify that an Assessing Officer for the purposes of Sections 148 and 148A would mean an officer other than the National Faceless Assessment Centre or an assessment unit referred to under Section 144B. It recorded that the Supreme Court, in an earlier order passed on April 10, had set aside earlier judgments in the matter on the limited ground that the legislative position had subsequently been altered and remitted the cases to the respective High Courts for fresh consideration. The apex court had then left open all questions concerning the validity, scope, effect, retrospectivity and applicability of the amended provision, while granting an interim stay on further assessment or reassessment proceedings pursuant to the impugned notices. After examining the challenge afresh, the Punjab and Haryana High Court said it had o hesitation to declare Section 147A of the Act to be unconstitutional. It further held that, even independently of Section 147A, the notices issued under Section 148 by the jurisdictional Assessing Officers were not sustainable because they had not been issued through the process of randomised allocation and in a faceless manner as mandated under Section 151A of the Act read with the scheme dated March 29, 2022. It accordingly directed that the notices issued under Section 148 to the petitioners be set aside and allowed the batch of writ petitions. The Union government, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, and the National Faceless Assessment Centre (NFAC) subsequently approached the Supreme Court against the judgment.
The Supreme Court on September 18 stayed the Punjab and Haryana High Court judgment declaring Section 147A of the Income Tax Act unconstitutional, while directing that the related assessment proceedings should not proceed until the Centres challenge is finally decided. A bench comprising Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice K. Vinod Chandran ordered that the High [] The post Supreme Court stays Punjab & Haryana High Court verdict striking own Section 147A of Income Tax Act appeared first on India Legal .

Delhi Police bust narco-extortion network, seize 2 kg Pakistani-origin heroin
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) The Delhi Police Special Cell, in a joint operation with the Gujarat Crime Branch, has busted a narco-extortion network operating between Delhi and Gujarat and recovered 2 kg of Pakistani-origin heroin valued at around Rs 12 crore. Police said an accused associated with the Rohit Godara and Mahendra Delana gang was arrested during the operation. The accused has been identified as 31-year-old Kuldeep Swami, a resident of Rajasthan's Churu. According to police, Swami was involved in a major narco-extortion module and was wanted in connection with a high-profile extortion case involving approximately Rs 10 crore registered in Gujarat's Vadodara. During the investigation, police recovered 2 kg of high-quality heroin, a car, and currency notes used for hawala token verification. A secret cavity was also found in the recovered vehicle, police said. Investigators are now probing the alleged links of the network with gangsters Godara and Delana, along with possible connections to Pakistan-based narcotics networks. The latest action comes amid a series of operations by the Delhi Police against criminal networks involved in extortion, narcotics and arms-related offences. Earlier, on August 26, the Delhi Police Special Cell had arrested two alleged sympathisers of the Gogi gang who were reportedly planning to commit extortion-related crimes. Police had identified the accused as 22-year-old Chirag, a resident of Narela, and 26-year-old Sagar, a resident of Haryana's Sonipat. The two were arrested near the Munak Canal on August 19 following a tip-off, officials said. A .32-bore semi-automatic pistol along with four live cartridges, a country-made single-shot pistol and two mobile phones were recovered from their possession, according to a senior police officer. In another case, on March 19, a team of the Delhi Police Special Cell apprehended a proclaimed offender who had allegedly been evading arrest in connection with an Arms Act case registered in Delhi. The accused, identified as 26-year-old Jaswinder Singh, a resident of Haryana's Ambala, was wanted in an FIR registered at Jagatpuri Police Station under Section 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act. Police had said Singh had been absconding since the registration of the case and was subsequently declared a proclaimed offender by a court.

The marches will cover all 117 Assembly constituencies before culminating in a rally later this month, which will be addressed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatras will begin from four locations between September 18 and 21 and collectively cover about 4,000 km, according to the Punjab BJP.

Over Rs 2.9 crore to be disbursed to 2,550 farmers as soil carbon payments: Govt
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS) Indias agricultural carbon market has moved from policy to the farm level, with over Rs 2.9 crore to be distributed among 2,550 small farmers in Punjab and Haryana through digital payments for adopting regenerative farming practices, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Agriculture on Wednesday. The first payments were released at a programme organised at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) in Ludhiana, marking a new link between sustainable agricultural practices and additional income for farmers. Dr ML Jat, Secretary, Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE) and Director General, ICAR, initiated the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the farmers. The first issuance covered around 30,000 acres and more than 50,000 carbon credits, with participating farmers receiving approximately Rs 3,000Rs 15,000 each. The payments are part of Aadi, a 'Grow Indigo' farmer carbon programme launched in 2019 with technical guidance from ICAR. Under the programme, farmers adopted practices such as Direct Seeded Rice (DSR), reduced tillage, and carried out crop residue management between 2019 and 2022. The resulting greenhouse gas reductions and increases in soil carbon were measured and independently verified before carbon credits were issued. The programme covers more than two million acres and over 100,000 farmers across seven states and has issued agricultural carbon credits under the 'Verra VM0042' methodology. It builds on a broader transition towards regenerative agriculture in Punjab and Haryana, including crop residue management, water conservation, and farming systems aimed at improving soil health and climate resilience. ICAR institutions have contributed scientific and field expertise in areas including greenhouse-gas accounting, crop-simulation modelling, soil-sampling protocols, device validation, field-team training and satellite and remote-sensing approaches. Dr Jat said that the initiative demonstrates how climate-smart farming practices, backed by scientific assessment and rigorous verification, can create additional income opportunities for small farmers while contributing to water conservation and improved air quality. The carbon payments provide an economic incentive for practices that can also generate environmental benefits. Direct Seeded Rice can reduce irrigation requirements compared with conventional transplanting, while improved crop-residue management can help reduce stubble burning and associated air pollution. For enrolled fields during 20192022, the programme estimates savings of 45 billion litres of water and more than two lakh tonnes of crop residue kept out of fires, avoiding an estimated 1,000 tonnes of PM2.5 emissions. Farmers were paid according to their share of the carbon credits generated from their fields. Grow Indigo released the payments digitally from its own funds before the credits were fully sold, enabling farmers to receive the payments without waiting for sale proceeds. Farmers could choose between an assured upfront payment and 75 per cent of the net carbon revenue after the credits were sold. The payments followed a multi-year process of measurement and independent verification. Farmers who joined the programme after 2022 are part of the next monitoring cycle and will receive payments as their carbon credits are issued.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS) President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday extended birthday greetings to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that over the past 25 years, during his tenure as Chief Minister and Prime Minister, he has established several new benchmarks of good governance and imparted unprecedented momentum and a new direction to inclusive development. President Murmu took to social media 'X' and said, Heartfelt birthday greetings and best wishes to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji.

I pray to God for your excellent health and long life, so that you may continue to relentlessly advance your campaign of public service and nation-building, the President said. PM Modi was born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, in present-day Gujarat. PM Modi was born three years after India's Independence in 1947, making him the first Prime Minister of the country to have been born in independent India. He grew up in a modest family and helped at his family's tea stall during his childhood. He became an RSS pracharak in Ahmedabad in 1972, beginning a period of full-time organisational work. During the Emergency of 1975-77, he participated in activities associated with the movement opposing the Emergency and seeking the restoration of democracy. He completed a master's degree in political science from Gujarat University. PM Modi began working as the BJP's General Secretary in Gujarat in 1987, marking his formal rise within the party organisation. One of his first major assignments in the BJP involved the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation election, where the party recorded its first victory in the civic body.

The BJP won 121 seats in the Gujarat Assembly in the 1995 election, when PM Modi was working in the party's organisational structure. He became a BJP national secretary in 1995 and was given responsibility for the party's activities in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. He subsequently became the BJP's General Secretary (Organisation), one of the party's senior organisational positions.

He became the Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, and went on to serve in the post for more than 12 years. He contested the 2014 Lok Sabha election from both Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and Vadodara in Gujarat. He won both seats in the 2014 election and subsequently retained Varanasi. The BJP won 282 Lok Sabha seats in the 2014 general election, giving the party a majority on its own.
