Western disturbance may change weather across India; pollution remains severe
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Weather conditions in Delhi-NCR could witness another change next week as a fresh western disturbance has become active over northern India, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The weather system is expected to influence conditions across several northern states, although its impact on the plains is likely to remain limited. The western disturbance may bring scattered light rainfall and snowfall to the hilly regions of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. However, the plains are unlikely to receive any rainfall until November 8, with predominantly dry weather conditions expected to prevail across the region. Meanwhile, air pollution continues to remain a major concern across Delhi-NCR, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching alarming levels in several cities. Delhi recorded an AQI of 463, while Noida registered 456 and Greater Noida reported 426. The pollution situation in Gurugram and other major cities across the National Capital Region has also remained severe, with AQI levels crossing the 400 mark. In another weather development, Cyclone Murasu, which originated over the Bay of Bengal, has weakened after crossing the Andhra Pradesh coast. Despite the weakening of the system, rainfall activity is expected to continue in parts of southern India, particularly Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala, until November 8. The IMD has indicated that the weather over Delhi-NCR will remain largely clear over the coming days, accompanied by windy conditions. Temperatures are expected to remain relatively moderate, with the maximum temperature in Delhi likely to range between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature may settle between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius. As temperatures begin to decline further next week, cold conditions are expected to intensify, accompanied by a possible increase in fog during the morning hours. Meanwhile, rainfall activity is likely to continue over parts of southern India due to the cyclonic system over Lakshadweep, coastal Karnataka and southern Tamil Nadu. Light to moderate rainfall is expected across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, Mahe and Karaikal until November 8. While southern states are likely to witness continued wet weather, northern plains, including Delhi-NCR, are expected to remain largely dry until November 8.
HM Shah to participate in 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' in Haryana
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 5 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah will participate in the 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' march in Haryana's Karnal on Thursday. A 'padyatra' will be organised from Sector-12 to Dayanand Chowk as part of this event, which is being carried out by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) across the nation to counter the INDIA bloc's campaign against the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Tight security arrangements are in place for the Home Minister's visit. The Home Minister will then travel to Ambala and formally inaugurate the modern Martyrs' Memorial later in the day and tour the entire complex. This will be the Home Minister's first visit to Ambala Cantt, though it marks his third visit to Ambala overall; he had previously visited twice to address election rallies. Unlike those earlier occasions, this visit is not for a political platform, but rather to pay tribute to the sacred memory of the immortal heroes of the nation's first war of independence (1857). This comes as part of Haryana's 60th foundation day celebrations. On Haryana's 60th Foundation Day, on November 1, Home Minister Shah extended warm greetings, lauding the state's contributions through its soldiers, farmers, and athletes. Taking to X, the Home Minister said, Heartfelt greetings to all the residents of the state on the Foundation Day of Haryana, the land of valour, labour, and prosperity. Be it defending the nation on the borders, enhancing the honour of the Tricolour on the sports fields, or setting new benchmarks in agriculture and animal husbandry, Haryana's contribution in every field is unparalleled, he said. The state's valiant soldiers, talented athletes, and hardworking farmers have always infused new strength into the nation's pride and prosperity. I pray to God that the state continues to march ahead on the path of progress in this manner, HM Shah added.
All revenue courts in J&K now computerised
Srinagar, Nov 04: Making a significant stride under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), Jammu and Kashmir has achieved 100 per cent completion with 882 Computerised/Online Revenue Courts, while the computerisation of Records of Rights (RoR) has reached 99.93 per cent. According to the DILRMP MIS 4.0 dashboard, the Physical Components Progress Report for Jammu and Kashmir revealed that digitisation of Mapsheets/FMBs/Tippans has reached 94.74 per cent, indicating substantial progress in the modernisation and digitisation of land records across the Union Territory. However, the report reveals that three important components MRR Completed (Out of Sanctioned), Survey/Resurvey Completed and Aadhaar Linked With RoR have recorded zero progress. The national comparison chart on Computerisation of Land Records (CLR) shows that several states and Union Territories have achieved 100 per cent completion of villages, while Jammu and Kashmir is placed at 70.54 per cent. The chart also shows Mizoram at 71.27 per cent, Nagaland at 62.54 per cent, Ladakh at 52.21 per cent and Delhi at 27.31 per cent. Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya have recorded zero percent completion. Among the states and Union Territories, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Bihar, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Maharashtra, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have achieved 100 per cent completion. Odisha has recorded 99.91 per cent, Karnataka 99.74 per cent, Chhattisgarh 99.36 per cent, Punjab 99.36 per cent, Jharkhand 96.36 per cent, Rajasthan 92.40 per cent, Telangana 83.25 per cent and Uttarakhand 71.27 per cent. The component-wise figures for Jammu and Kashmir indicate that while computerisation of revenue courts and digitisation of existing land records have reached advanced stages, survey and resurvey, completion of MRR and Aadhaar linking with Records of Rights remain pending. The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), a Central Sector Scheme funded 100 per cent by the central government, aims to modernise the country's land records system through computerisation of land records, digitisation of maps, survey and resurvey activities and integration of land-related information.

Ahead of Amit Shahs visit, Haryana Congress flags concerns over democracy, law and order
Its astonishing that the BJP, which has failed to provide satisfactory answers to serious questions concerning electoral transparency, is now launching a campaign in the name of saving democracy, Congresss Haryana in-charge Sanjay Dutt says
Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Ground: Karnataka, Vidarbha and Goa registered commanding victories by an innings, while Uttarakhand opened their account with a comprehensive 10-wicket win as the third day of the ongoing third round of the Ranji Trophy 2026 concluded on Wednesday. Karnataka produced a clinical all-round performance to defeat Assam by an innings and 314 runs in their Elite Group B encounter in Guwahati, wrapping up the contest with more than a day to spare. The eight-time champions collected seven points, including a bonus point, to move to the top of the group standings with 16 points. Resuming their first innings at 496/5, Karnataka continued their dominance as they declared at 577/6, establishing a massive lead of 442 runs. Assams batting lineup had little answer to Karnatakas spin attack, with Shreyas Gopal claiming four wickets for 39 runs and Shikhar Shetty returning figures of 3/28 to bowl the hosts out for 128 in 40.2 overs. Earlier, Manvanth Kumars unbeaten century had provided the foundation for Karnatakas imposing first-innings total. Uttarakhand also registered their first victory of the season, defeating Haryana by 10 wickets in their Elite Group D clash at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Ground in Dehradun. After posting 305 in their first innings, Uttarakhand bowled Haryana out for 153, with Mayank Mishra picking up six wickets for 57 runs. Haryanas Nishant Sindhu had earlier claimed 5/89 for the visitors. Forced to follow on, Haryana managed 159 in their second innings, with Jagadeesha Suchith taking four wickets for 50 runs. The hosts were left with a target of just nine runs, which they chased down in 1.2 overs without losing a wicket. Dega Nischals 153 off 387 deliveries was the standout contribution in Uttarakhands first innings. Vidarbha completed an innings-and-20-run victory over Madhya Pradesh after producing a dominant bowling performance across both innings. Having dismissed Madhya Pradesh for 209 in their first innings, Vidarbha posted 334/9 before declaring their innings. The visitors struggled once again in their second innings and were dismissed for just 105. Harsh Dubey was the standout performer, taking nine wickets in the first innings, while Dubey and Parth Rekhade claimed five wickets apiece in the second to seal the victory. Goa joined the list of teams registering innings victories after defeating Bihar by an innings and 177 runs. Goa built their commanding position with a first-innings total of 397 before bowling Bihar out for 107. Following on, Bihar failed to put up a stronger fight and were dismissed for 113 in their second innings, handing Goa a comprehensive victory. Meanwhile, Mumbai strengthened their position against Railways, with a 141-run opening partnership between Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Divyaansh Saxena taking their second-innings lead beyond 300 runs. Raghuvanshi scored 79 before falling, while Tushar Deshpande, Suryansh Shedge and Musheer Khan also departed cheaply as Mumbai lost a cluster of wickets during the final half-hour of play. Off-spinner Tanush Kotian had earlier delivered an impressive performance with figures of 7/45 for Mumbai, leaving Railways with a difficult task on the final day. In the encounter between Delhi and Services, the latter held a 202-run lead at the close of play on Day 3. Delhi made an encouraging start with the ball, picking up two wickets in the first five overs, but Mohit Ahlawats impressive 142-run knock helped Services recover and strengthen their position. With only one day remaining, the contest appears to be heading towards a draw, with Delhi facing an uphill task to force a result. Bengal and Maharashtra also witnessed an eventful day, with Mohammed Shamis four-wicket haul helping Bengal dismiss Maharashtra for 218. Bengal, however, lost four wickets in their second innings and reached 76/4 at stumps, holding a slender one-run lead. Play was curtailed due to bad light. In the Gujarat-Kerala fixture, Gujarat enforced the follow-on after dismissing Kerala for 279 in their first innings. Kerala ended the day at 31/1 in their second innings, still facing a considerable deficit. Odisha remained in a difficult position against Jharkhand after the latter declared their first innings at 433/8. Having recovered from an early collapse, Jharkhand built a substantial total and left Odisha with a deficit of 410 runs. Odisha reached 23/0 at stumps and will need a significant effort on the final day to avoid defeat. Hyderabad also face a challenging task against Chhattisgarh, needing another 246 runs to win after being set a target of 259. Hyderabad were 13/2 at stumps, having lost both their opening batters for ducks in the first over. Punjab continued to hold the upper hand against Andhra, who reached 240/2 at the end of the day while chasing Punjabs first-innings total of 529/9 declared. Andhra still trail by 352 runs, with Shaik Rasheed and Karan Shinde leading their efforts to reduce the deficit. Hyderabad also face a challenging task against Chhattisgarh, needing another 246 runs to win after being set a target of 259. Hyderabad were 13/2 at stumps, having lost both their opening batters for ducks in the first over. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
ED raids 10 locations in Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Punjab in imported liquor tax evasion case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has conducted search and seizure operations at 10 locations across Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and Punjab in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to the alleged illegal procurement and sale of imported foreign liquor through Gurugram-based liquor vend chain 'The Theka'. The searches, carried out by the ED's Gurugram Zonal Office on Tuesday and Wednesday under the PMLA, covered offices and residences of individuals associated with The Theka, foreign liquor suppliers, transporters, and others allegedly involved in the liquor syndicate. According to the ED, the investigation stems from FIRs and charge sheets filed by Haryana Police over allegations of illegal sale of imported foreign liquor and misuse of the bond-to-bond transfer mechanism to evade customs duties and state excise taxes. The case originated from a complaint by Excise Department officials, who seized 3,921 cases and 176 loose bottles of imported foreign liquor allegedly lacking mandatory holograms and Track & Trace strips from The Theka on December 9, 2025. Another FIR was also registered against members of the syndicate for alleged involvement in the sale of spurious liquor. The ED said its probe revealed that the syndicate exploited the bond-to-bond transfer system, which permits movement of imported liquor between states without immediate payment of customs and excise duties. To facilitate the operation, separate companies were established in Haryana and Goa/Maharashtra and requisite customs licences obtained. While the liquor was officially meant to be transported to bonded warehouses in Goa or Maharashtra, investigators found that consignments were diverted in connivance with transporters and supplied directly to liquor vends in Gurugram. The liquor was then sold as legitimate imported stock, enabling the syndicate to evade customs duties, VAT, cesses, and other taxes. The agency alleged that after securing a liquor licence for the 2025-27 period, the syndicate procured and sold imported liquor without holograms and Track & Trace strips to increase profits. More than one lakh bottles of imported liquor were procured and illegally sold between June and November 2025. According to the ED, the operation yielded profits of 20-25 per cent on illegal sales and generated proceeds of crime exceeding Rs 10 crore. During the searches, officials recovered and seized incriminating documents, digital records relating to the procurement and movement of imported liquor under customs bond arrangements, and cash amounting to Rs 11 lakh. Further investigation is underway.

'One match going bad didnt affect me much', says Kamboj after miserly spell vs NZ
Digital Desk | Auckland, Nov 4 (IANS) Almost a month after a chastening ODI debut, where he gave away 82 runs against the West Indies in New Chandigarh, Anshul Kamboj made sure his second outing in the format would be remembered for the right reasons. The Haryana seamer strangled New Zealands batters at Eden Park on Wednesday, as he picked 2-22 in his ten overs, including bowling 46 dot balls. Kambojs spell was one of the reasons behind India bowling out New Zealand out for 185 in 40.2 overs. He was subsequently named Player of the Match in Indias five-wicket win by the DLS method in the series opener at Eden Park. Asked on bouncing back after not having a great ODI debut, where he arrived rushingly as Prasidh Krishnas replacement, Kamboj said the desire to do better drove him to put up a masterly spell in Auckland. Basically, if someone has a bad match, it doesnt decide whether someones career is going to be good or bad. I was doing the same thing from the beginning and I am still doing the same thing. So, one match going bad didnt affect me much. I just got the motivation to do better, he said in the post-match press conference. Asked about the outside noise after his Test debut against England at Manchester last year didnt go well, Kamboj added, Actually, I dont pay much attention to these things. I focus more on my cricket and see how I can improve it. I dont pay attention to what people think about me or what they say about me. So, it doesnt make much difference to me. Introduced as first change, Kamboj was the pick of Indias four pacers. He got the skid and utilised extra bounce on offer to keep a tight grip on the middle overs. It resulted in him removing New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner and Nathan Smith. Actually, todays wicket was a little seaming one. But it was also necessary that you have to put it on a good length. Only then you will get a purchase from the wicket. Otherwise, if you miss the length, you can get hit for runs. So, I was trying to put it in as many good areas as possible. I didnt think much about the result because there was a lot of purchase on the wicket if you were bowling in the right area, he said. While Kamboj built the pressure, Arshdeep Singh (4-70) and Gurnoor Brar (3-44) cashed in at the other end, sharing seven wickets between them. New Zealand were in danger of collapsing for far less before a 39-run last-wicket stand between Blair Tickner and Jacob Duffy, the highest partnership of the innings. Kamboj said his job was simply to hold one end. If someone is bowling well from one end, then the wicket is bound to come from the other end. So, thats it - keep putting as much pressure as possible. If they are stuck, then keep them stuck for a longer period of time. Dont give them easy boundaries or easy runs because if you dont give them easy runs, then they will play a wrong shot in order to get runs. They will do something. So, thats it - I wasnt thinking much. I was just thinking about bowling in better areas because they were obviously getting out from the other end. So, I didnt need to try much. Nor Kamboj was bothered by Eden Parks famously short boundaries. Basically, there are such small grounds in India as well. So, dimensions dont make much difference. When you look at the wicket, you look at what you have to do on the wicket and not at the dimensions. Dimensions come when there is no purchase on the wicket. Then dimensions come in the game. After two rain interruptions, India were set a revised target of 143 in 32 overs. Virat Kohlis 74 off 51 balls took them home in 22.4 overs and a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Kamboj, also a handy batter, said preparation was the key to his confidence. If you come well prepared, then obviously you will get confidence. So, just prepare yourself as well as you can so that there is no surprise in the match. Just be ready for everything. On juggling both skills, he kept it simple. The role of an all-rounder is that if you have a ball in your hand, you are a bowler. If you have a bat in your hand, you are a batsman. So, thats it. So, you just have to focus on these things. You dont have to focus on bowling while batting. You dont have to focus on batting while bowling. So, thats the focus. When you have a bat in your hand, you only think about batting. When you have a ball in your hand, you only think about bowling. As such, you just have to improve your batting. If you have a bowling, you just have to improve your bowling. Looking ahead to the second game in Wellington on Saturday, Kamboj said the aim was to carry the rhythm forward. Just looking to build the same momentum in the next match as well. In fact, in every match, whichever is possible. So, just not thinking about anything. Just working on my things which I can improve - regarding the bowling, batting, or fielding. Whatever it is, just working on that.
Over 80 Youth Congress workers suspended in 3 states, for skipping Ramlila grounds rally
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) Taking stern action over their absence from the INDIA Blocs vote chori rally at Delhis Ramlila grounds, the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) suspended dozens of its workers and office-bearers on Wednesday. A total of 83 workers engaged with the IYC, the youth wing of the Congress party, across three states have been issued notices for violating the partys clear instructions and removed from their posts, terming their absence a serious act of organisational indiscipline. The suspended office-bearers include leaders holding the ranks of Vice-President, general secretary, and secretary within their respective state units of the Youth Congress. The maximum number of suspensions has taken place in Madhya Pradesh, with the partys youth wing taking action against 60 office-bearers while Haryana and Himachal units of the party suspended 10 and 13 members each. Their suspension comes into immediate effect and will continue under further notice, said the outfit. INDIA blocs November 1 rally, 'Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao' at Delhis Ramlila grounds, was the biggest gathering of opposition parties, for mobilising public support and galvanising people against alleged anomalies in the EC-mandated SIR drive. Prior to the mega rally, Congress top brass, including Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, had also made fervent appeals for maximum participation to put pressure on the government. With several officials of the partys youth wing, from three states, giving the November 1 rally a miss, it is seen as a grave act of indiscipline by the cadre. The suspension notice by the MP Youth Congress reflects the message, as it clearly says that action has been taken to ensure organisational discipline and compliance with directions issued by the national leadership. Notably, the Congress-led INDIA bloc has been organising a series of protest marches and public rallies against the alleged vote chori and arbitrary Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, undertaken by the Election Commission. The Opposition has been gunning for the CEC Gyanesh Kumar, alleging his direct role in irregularities regarding the electoral rolls and manipulation of the election process, at the behest of the BJP government. The EC has been restrained in countering the charges; however, the BJP has gone the whole hog in calling out the Congress and the Oppositions bluff. It maintains that the Opposition is resorting to lies and canards to spread fake propaganda and, in response to the vote chori campaign, launched its own remove anarchy, save democracy rally.
Consistent Length And Line Was Key: Kamboj Credits basics For Match-winning Spell In 1st ODI
Pacer Anshul Kamboj: Pacer Anshul Kamboj attributed his impressive figures of 2-22 in 10 overs to sticking to consistent lines and lengths rather than overthinking the conditions, after helping India bowl out New Zealand for 185 in the first ODI and winning the player of the match award at Eden Park on Wednesday. Kamboj played a crucial role in Indias bowling effort, conceding just 22 runs in his 10 overs, including two maidens. He dismissed Mitchell Santner and Nathan Smith as New Zealand struggled to build momentum against Indias pace attack. The Haryana pacer said keeping his approach simple and focusing on the right areas, irrespective of how the pitch behaved, was central to his performance. The key was just consistent length and line, not thinking about how the wicket is behaving, just the basic plan, bowling on right lines and right areas, Kamboj said after the game while receiving the POTM honours. He also revealed that the wobble-seam delivery was particularly effective on the surface, prompting him to use it repeatedly to trouble the New Zealand batters. The wobble seam ball was working very well, so I was using that again and again, he added. Kamboj said his preparations for the series had revolved around getting his lengths and lines right, while also studying the strengths and weaknesses of opposition batters to develop an effective plan against them. Just working on lengths and good lines, and just looking at the strengths and weaknesses of the batsmen and just working on that, he said. Despite bowling in conditions different from those back home, Kamboj said he did not feel the need to make significant adjustments to his length, pointing out that he was able to generate sufficient bounce off the surface. It doesnt matter, because I also get a good amount of bounce off the wicket as well. So its like its only about the length which I am bowling, just focusing on that, he said. Asked about assessing conditions at different venues, the pacer emphasised the importance of reading the surface and identifying the deliveries and lengths most likely to be effective on a given day. You just have to look at the wicket and see what is happening on the wicket, what is the best ball to bowl, what is the right length to bowl, just focus on that, he added. Asked about assessing conditions at different venues, the pacer emphasised the importance of reading the surface and identifying the deliveries and lengths most likely to be effective on a given day.

Noida food department destroys 400 kg contaminated rasgullas, seizes 450 kg boondi ahead of Diwali
Digital Desk | Noida, Nov 4 (IANS) The Food Department has intensified its crackdown on food adulteration ahead of Diwali, conducting raids at several sweet shops in Noida and Greater Noida and destroying 400 kg of contaminated rasgullas. During the inspections, food safety officers collected samples of seven food items from various sweet shops. According to the Food Department, around 400 kg of rasgullas, found infested with flies and contaminated, were destroyed, while 450 kg of boondi was seized after it was found unfit for human consumption. During the operation, officials also discovered sweets being prepared and stored in extremely unhygienic conditions at a sweet shop in Sector 62, Rasulpur, Nawada. Following the inspection, the department initiated action to suspend the shop's licence. Its business operations have also been suspended until the necessary improvements are made. On the instructions of the District Magistrate, the Food Department's special campaign will continue until Diwali. Officials have warned shopkeepers against selling adulterated sweets and directed them to pay special attention to the quality and hygiene of food products. Strict action will be taken against those found violating food safety standards. The crackdown comes amid intensified inspections by food safety authorities across several states ahead of the festival. On November 3, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited the Mori Gate Khoya Market, where the Food Safety Department seized and destroyed around 7,000 kg of unhygienic and foul-smelling khoya during a crackdown on food adulteration. During the inspection, Gupta directed officials to ensure that suspected food products did not enter the market supply chain. On the same day, Haryana's food safety authorities destroyed around 50,000 kg of adulterated sweets and fake paneer during a statewide campaign. Meanwhile, 170 food samples failed laboratory tests, including 30 that were declared unsafe for human consumption. State Health Minister Arti Singh Rao said the government would not compromise on public health. In Uttar Pradesh, the Food Department also raided Gopaldoot Dairy near the Jyoti intersection on Agra Road in Mainpuri and seized approximately 90 kg of suspected adulterated desi ghee. The raid followed a tip-off about the alleged production and sale of fake ghee. Food adulteration cases often rise during major festivals such as Diwali and Navratri, when demand for sweets, dairy products and other festive food items increases significantly.

CTI welcomes SC's remark on protests, lists five demands to protect Delhi traders
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI), an apex body representing traders and entrepreneurs in Delhi, on Wednesday welcomed the Supreme Court's observation that 'occupation in the name of protest cannot be perpetual' and put forward five demands to protect traders and businesses from losses caused by protests and demonstrations. CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal said the remarks by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant had given voice to the concerns of nearly two million traders, five million employees and daily wage workers in Delhi. He said the court had rightly observed that the protest by one group should not deprive others of their rights. Goyal said CTI had consistently maintained over the past month that while everyone had the right to protest, others also had the right to conduct business and earn their livelihoods without disruption. Referring to Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's submission before the Supreme Court that Jantar Mantar remained occupied for 17 days despite permission being granted for only one day, Goyal said the development highlighted the concerns repeatedly raised by the traders' body. He claimed that the indefinite occupation of Jantar Mantar had caused business losses amounting to Rs 3,000 crore in Delhi. He also questioned who would compensate traders for the overall losses, which he claimed had reached Rs 14,000 crore. Welcoming the Supreme Court's observation, CTI put forward five demands before the Delhi Police and the government. First, CTI demanded that Central Delhi be declared a no-protest zone until Bhaiya Dooj on November 11. It further proposed that the 10 days of the Diwali festival be permanently designated as a no-protest period every year. Goyal said no rallies, sit-ins or demonstrations should be permitted at Connaught Place, Jantar Mantar, Ramlila Maidan, India Gate and Delhi Gate during this period. He suggested that alternative locations, including Burari, Alipur, Jasola and Yamuna Khadar, should be designated for organising protests and demonstrations. Second, CTI called for strict enforcement of the 'one day, one protest' rule at Jantar Mantar. Referring to the Supreme Court's observation about the 17-day occupation after permission was granted for just one day, Goyal said such incidents should not be repeated. He demanded that organisations be allowed to hold demonstrations at the venue for only one day at a time and that vacating the premises by 5 p.m. be made mandatory. Third, CTI demanded the enactment of a Delhi Recovery of Damages Act to ensure compensation for business losses and damage to private property caused during protests. Goyal said states such as Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Tripura and Uttarakhand had laws providing for the recovery of damages from those responsible for planning or instigating violence and destruction of property during demonstrations. He said Delhi should also introduce similar legislation to ensure accountability and compensate affected traders. Fourth, the traders' body proposed a dedicated trade-disruption insurance mechanism and a compensation fund for traders and daily-wage earners affected by rallies, demonstrations and traffic restrictions. Goyal said the fund should cover losses suffered by nearly five million daily-wage workers, street vendors, auto-rickshaw drivers, loaders and porters whose livelihoods were affected by the closure of shops and disruption of transport. He suggested a mechanism similar to claims tribunals established to address losses during riots. Fifth, CTI demanded that the Delhi Police obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from CTI and the concerned market association before granting permission for any large rally involving more than 10,000 people in Central Delhi. It also called for the traffic management and parking plans for such events to be made public in advance to minimise inconvenience to traders, employees and commuters.

He is also scheduled to hold a meeting with public representatives at the same venue at 5 p.m. On the second day of his visit, Thursday, the BJP chief will offer prayers at the Baba Gorakhnath Temple in the morning. Later, he will hold a meeting with former party office-bearers, including former state and regional office-bearers who served during the last three terms, former district in-charges and former district presidents. He will subsequently interact with former public representatives, including former Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members, former MLAs, Legislative Council members, former Zila Panchayat presidents, and former Nagar Palika and Nagar Panchayat presidents. Nabin is also scheduled to hold a detailed meeting with the party's state-level organisational leadership, including the State President, state office-bearers, regional office-bearers and other key functionaries. The meeting will focus on finalising the roadmap for upcoming organisational campaigns and electoral strategy ahead of the Assembly elections. Earlier, Nabin had led the 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' campaign in Delhi, Haryana, Bihar and West Bengal. The campaign has been launched by the BJP to counter the INDIA bloc's protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral irregularities.

AAP flays BJP for blaming Punjab's farmers for Delhi's pollution
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 3 (IANS) Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Baltej Pannu on Tuesday targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for blaming Punjab's farmers for Delhi's pollution while conveniently ignoring the substantial efforts made by the Bhagwant Mann-led government and farmers to manage paddy stubble. Taking a direct aim at the Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Media In-charge Pannu said that BJP leaders are making Punjab's farmers scapegoats instead of addressing the multiple sources of pollution in the national capital. Pointing out that Parliament's data recorded an 80 per cent decline in stubble-burning incidents in Punjab last year and that the state government has deployed more than 21,000 Crop Residue Management (CRM) machines, the AAP leader challenged the Delhi Minister and other BJP leaders to visit Punjab and witness the ground reality instead of spreading propaganda. He also reminded the Centre that it had refused to share the financial burden of stubble management despite the state government's offer, asserting that BJP leaders must answer for Delhi's pollution instead of shifting the blame onto Punjab's farmers. Even before the paddy harvesting season had properly begun, certain leaders had started running a campaign to defame Punjab for Delhi's pollution. How can smoke from Punjab supposedly cross Haryana and reach Delhi through some imaginary pipeline so quickly? BJP leaders are conveniently ignoring the multiple sources of pollution in the national capital. Several reports and even discussions in Parliament have established that stubble burning is not the only cause of Delhi's pollution, he said. Citing the Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav's statement in Parliament, Pannu added, Stubble-burning incidents in Punjab declined by 80 per cent last year due to improved management and sustained efforts. The Bhagwant Mann government has further strengthened these efforts this year, with more than 21,000 Crop Residue Management (CRM) machines purchased for stubble management. These include 14,274 Super Seeders, which have emerged as the most popular machines among farmers, along with Mulchers, MB Ploughs and Baling Machines. Punjab ranks among the leading states in the country in the use of agricultural machinery. He said that farmers are increasingly taking advantage of government subsidies ranging from 50 to 80 per cent to purchase these machines. Many farmers and private operators are also renting out machinery, making it accessible to more cultivators. Across major highways connecting Zirakpur to Bathinda, Chandigarh to Ludhiana, Mohali to Sirhind and on the Amritsar highway, large quantities of paddy stubble can be seen collected and compressed into bales. These bales are being transported to industries and used as raw material rather than being burnt in fields, Pannu said. He also asked that why is Haryana, despite having fewer stubble-management machines than Punjab, not being subjected to the same scrutiny? Travelling from Punjab to Delhi takes at least four to five hours by road. The simplistic claim that smoke from Punjab directly reaches Delhi is an attempt to mislead people rather than an evidence-based explanation, he added.

Rajasthan High Court declares tax collection on Out-of-State private vehicles illegal
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) The Rajasthan High Court has declared the Transport Department's action of collecting road tax from private cars and jeeps registered in other states, allegedly on the grounds that they had been operated in Rajasthan for more than 30 days, illegal, in the absence of a specific statutory notification. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal and Justice Sameer Jain ruled that the Transport Department cannot impose or collect taxes on non-transport vehicles registered in other states without a valid notification issued under the relevant provisions of the law. While disposing of petitions filed by Harpi Core Network India Private Limited and others, the court directed the department to refund the taxes collected from the petitioners within 30 days and immediately release the seized vehicles. Several vehicle owners had approached the Rajasthan High Court challenging the Transport Department's action against their private vehicles, which were registered in states including Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The petitioners submitted that lifetime road tax had already been paid in their respective states at the time of registration. However, during routine inspections, flying squads of the Rajasthan Transport Department intercepted several such vehicles and initiated enforcement proceedings. The Rajasthan Transport Department maintained that these vehicles had been operating in Rajasthan for more than 30 days without payment of the prescribed state road tax. It argued that under Rule 28 of the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Rules, vehicles remaining in the state beyond 30 days were liable to pay tax under the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1951. Challenging the department's action, the petitioners argued that their vehicles were already registered in other states and that the applicable lifetime tax had been paid there. They contended that there was no legal basis for demanding a lump-sum tax in Rajasthan merely because the vehicles had been used in the state for more than 30 days. The petitioners also invoked Article 265 of the Constitution, which provides that no tax can be levied or collected except by authority of law. They argued that the Transport Department could not impose a tax merely by relying on administrative interpretations or notifications that did not specifically authorise such a levy. The Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma-led state government defended the department's action, arguing that private vehicles registered outside Rajasthan were being used in the state for periods exceeding 30 days and were, therefore, liable for taxation under the applicable rules. The government also cited a notification issued on July 10, 2024, which prescribed rates for one-time taxation of non-transport vehicles. It argued that the notification covered vehicles already registered in other states as well. Accordingly, the government maintained that the tax demands and seizure of vehicles were legally justified. After hearing both sides, the High Court observed that the July 10, 2024, notification prescribed tax rates for passenger and goods vehicles. However, there was no separate notification under the relevant statutory provision specifically authorising the levy of one-time tax on private non-transport cars registered in other states. The Bench held that merely mentioning vehicles registered in other states in a notification issued under a different provision does not fulfil the statutory requirement for imposing such a tax. The court clarified that when the law requires a specific notification for levying a particular tax, the government cannot collect it by relying on a notification issued under another provision. Consequently, the court held that the one-time tax demand against private cars registered in other states could not be sustained on the basis of the existing notification. The court directed the Transport Department to release the seized vehicles immediately and refund the tax collected from the petitioners within 30 days.

All the hard work I had put in was finally paying off: Shafali recalls surprise ODI WC call-up
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) India all-rounder Shafali Verma revealed that her return to the national side during the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 came as a complete surprise, with the call-up arriving while she was representing Haryana in a domestic competition. The right-handed batter said she was not even following the World Cup closely at the time, having shifted her attention towards improving her own game through domestic cricket. Shafali was drafted into India's squad midway through the tournament, giving the team another batting option during the latter stages of the competition. The batter recalled receiving the unexpected news from the team manager and was initially struggling to believe that she had been selected. The call-up, she said, was particularly rewarding because it came after a prolonged period of working on her game away from the national setup. I was representing Haryana in a state-level match when the national team manager suddenly called to inform me that I had been selected for the remaining matches of the World Cup. I couldn't believe it, as I had been away from social media and wasn't even following the tournament, having focused entirely on my own game. I felt all the hard work I had put in over the past year was finally paying off. The team welcomed me warmly, and the two or three net sessions helped me adapt to the conditions and find my rhythm. Being in good touch through domestic cricket also gave me confidence. The work I had put into myself was reflecting in my game, and that felt good, Shafali told JioStar. She also highlighted how her domestic performances helped her make the transition back into the international environment without feeling overwhelmed by the sudden change in circumstances. Rather than requiring an extended adjustment period, a handful of practice sessions with the national team helped her settle into the conditions and regain familiarity with the team's setup.

Delhi's air quality improving, Punjab's stubble burning causing pollution: Manjinder Singh Sirsa
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Tuesday criticised the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leaders over the appointment of the chairperson of the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB), alleging that the party's politics was based on lies and deceit. He also accused the Punjab government of failing to check stubble burning, claiming that incidents in the state were contributing to pollution in Delhi. Addressing a press conference, Sirsa questioned the appointment of a non-Punjabi and non-technical person to head the Punjab Pollution Control Board. He alleged that the appointee was a political spokesperson from Delhi with close family ties to AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal. I want to expose the real face of the Aam Aadmi Party, whose entire operation is based on lies and fraud. In the 75 years since Independence, no non-Punjabi, non-IAS and non-technical person has been appointed to this position. They brought their political spokesperson from Delhi, who is said to be a close relative of Arvind Kejriwal, and appointed her as the chairperson of the Punjab Pollution Control Board, Sirsa alleged. He questioned the AAP government's decision to appoint the person to the key position and raised concerns over the party's functioning in Punjab. During the press conference, Sirsa also highlighted the improvement in Delhi's air quality, crediting the initiatives taken by the government led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. He claimed that Delhi had recorded 220 clean-air days this year, the highest number in the past decade. According to Sirsa, October 2026 was the cleanest October in Delhi in the last 10 years, while the average Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded this year was also the lowest during the same period. I also want to tell the people of Delhi that over the past decade, the Delhi government under Rekha Gupta, along with the people of Delhi, has achieved a lot. Delhi recorded 220 clean-air days this year, the highest in the past decade. October 2026 was also the cleanest October in the last decade. The average AQI recorded this year was the lowest in the past decade, with a 10 per cent improvement compared with previous years. The annual average AQI was also lower this year, he said. Sirsa, however, alleged that stubble burning in Punjab was affecting Delhi's air quality. He claimed that more than 1,000 incidents of stubble burning had been reported in Punjab and questioned the role of the state government and police in preventing the practice. He further alleged that Punjab Police personnel and government officials were facilitating stubble burning at certain locations, while farmers were also facing action for the same practice. In Punjab, there have been more than 1,000 incidents of stubble burning. Punjab Police and government officers are facilitating the burning of stubble. The Aam Aadmi Party is, on the one hand, getting farmers to burn stubble and, on the other hand, registering cases against them, he alleged. The minister also appealed to Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia to refrain from actions that, according to him, could worsen pollution in the national Capital. Sirsa said that the previous AAP government had been in power in Delhi for 10 years and alleged that the city was now making efforts to recover from the pollution-related challenges it had faced during that period. I request Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia not to ruin Delhi. Delhi, which you spent 10 years ruining, is now beginning to recover. Please do not ruin it again. More than 13,000 charging stations have been installed in Delhi. People in Delhi are purchasing Electric Vehicles. We, the people of Delhi, are fighting against pollution every single day. The people of Delhi are very good; please do not cause them any trouble. By setting fires in Punjab, you are once again causing the situation in Delhi to deteriorate, he said. According to data released by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) via a Right to Information (RTI) response, 345 stubble burning cases have been reported in Uttar Pradesh between September 15 and October 29 and 29 stubble-burning cases were reported in Haryana this year.

Congress trying to protect 3 crore Bangladeshi infiltrators in voter list: HM Shah
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Nov 2 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday claimed that three crore Bangladeshi infiltrators are among absent voters sought to be deleted in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and accused the Congress party of trying to protect them. He declared that the BJP will ensure that every infiltrator is removed from the electoral rolls and driven out of the country. Amit Shah was addressing the Save Democracy Remove Anarchy march organised by the BJP here as part of its nationwide campaign to counter the anti-SIR campaign of the INDIA bloc. Alleging that by stopping SIR, Congress and company was trying to save Bangladesh infiltrators, he termed the rally organised by the INDIA bloc in Delhi on Sunday as a Save the infiltrators rally. Congress and company are trying to stop SIR because infiltrators are their vote bank. BJP workers stand firmly with SIR. Only citizens of this country will be allowed to vote here, said HM Shah, who led the foot march from Basheerbagh to Moazzam Jahi Market. Amit Shah said Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi was lying that 13 crore votes were deleted in SIR. The Home Minister stated that 6.25 crore voters had shifted while about 3 crore voters were dead. He said another one crore voters had double entries. The Congress party wants to capture elections through bogus voting. If one person has two votes, should one of them be cancelled or not? Now we come to the source of 'Rahul Baba's' stomach ache. Three crore votes are such that the people they belong to do not even exist. These are Bangladeshi infiltrators, he said. He alleged that by opposing the SIR, the Congress party wants to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators in the country's electoral rolls. But I have come here today to say that Rahul ji and Revanth Reddy ji can put in as much effort as they want. The BJP will ensure that every single infiltrator is removed from the voter list and driven out of the country. Dismissing the allegation of Rahul Gandhi that the BJP won only because of the SIR, he reminded the Congress leader that there was no SIR when Narendra Modi won in 2014, 2019 and 2024. He won because of the voters of India. After 2024, we won in Maharashtra with the biggest majority. We won in Haryana. After 30 years, we won in Delhi. We won in Bihar with the biggest majority. In Bengal too, Didi's entire political standing has been wiped out, he said and exuded confidence that BJP will win Telangana too. Amit Shah remarked that Rahul Gandhi can never become Prime Minister. Two days ago, you held a mock Parliament. If you had asked me, I would have suggested that you become Prime Minister at least once in this mock Parliament. Because you will never be able to become Prime Minister in the real Parliament. At least if you become Prime Minister in a mock Parliament, Sonia ji's heart will find some peace, he remarked. The Home Minister said that Rahul Gandhi carries the Constitution in his hand but has no respect for the Constitution. Stating that Constitutional responsibilities are discharged through the country's Parliament, he accused Rahul Gandhi of not allowing Parliament to function. I challenge you today from the land of Hyderabad. We are ready to convene a special session of Parliament. Come and participate in a discussion. But he will not participate in the discussion because he knows that only through anarchy and disorder can the Congress party keep itself in the news. If Parliament functions, our Modi ji will completely demolish their arguments, he said. On Rahul Gandhis allegation that BJP was winning because of EVMs, he asked how Revanth Reddy became Chief Minister of Telangana. How do parties form governments in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh? If the EVMs are so bad, you should not have taken the oath of office. When you win, the credit goes to the people, but when you lose, you blame the EVMs. Alleging that there were scams, scandals and corruption worth Rs 12 lakh crore during 10 years of Congress rule, he said the country cant be handed over to the Congress again. Amit Shah remarked that the Congress party is on a ventilator. Can this ventilator party run a marathon alongside Modi ji? Rahul ji, forget Modi ji. Even my Telangana Yuva Morcha president will defeat you. The BJP leader also took a dig at Rahul Gandhis foreign visits. Rahul ji, you cannot win elections this way. You spend three or four months in the country and then go abroad. You will have to sweat it out in the country. You will have to stand united with the people and work to resolve their problems, he said. Amit Shah accused Revanth Reddy of turning the entire Telangana into an ATM for the Congress leaders sitting in Delhi and said the people of Telangana will never forgive him for this. Stating that Rahul Gandhi had promised six guarantees in Telangana, he said not even one guarantee has been fulfilled. Stating that BRS or Owaisi cant stop the corruption in Telangana and the conspiracy to sell the state, he said only the BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi can stop it. He urged the BJP cadres to ensure that the Congress party is rooted out from Telangana and the BJP comes to power with a two-thirds majority
CAQM invokes GRAP Stage-II across NCR as Delhi's AQI worsens to 'very poor'
In response to a spike in pollution levels, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Monday invoked Stage-II of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across the entire National Capital Region (NCR), with immediate effect. The decision comes on the heels of rapidly deteriorating meteorological conditions that pushed Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) into the 'Very Poor' category at 324 on Monday According to the CAQM sub-committee review meeting held today, Delhi's air quality witnessed a steep and sudden downward spiral over a 72-hour window, beginning with an AQI of 117 in the 'Moderate' category on Saturday, followed by a sharp rise to 261 in the 'Poor' category on Sunday, and worsening further to 324 in the 'Very Poor' category by Monday. With Stage-II now active alongside existing Stage-I restrictions, municipal corporations, traffic police, and pollution control boards across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan have been directed to enforce stringent actions.

Agreement, disagreement two sides of same coin in vibrant democracy: LS Speaker (Lead)
Digital Desk | Panchkula, Nov 2 (IANS) Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Monday emphasised that agreement and disagreement are two sides of the same coin in a healthy and vibrant democracy. He stressed that dissent must be welcomed and respected as a vital catalyst for bringing fresh perspectives, addressing administrative blind spots and promoting better governance. He underscored that irrespective of political, party or ideological differences, the overarching commitment of all public representatives must remain the continued progress of the state and the nation. Speaker Birla made these remarks while addressing the inaugural session of the Janpratinidhi Sammelan, organised by the Haryana Vidhan Sabha in Panchkula, near here, as part of the Samvidhan Pakhwada Programme. Addressing serving and former members of the Vidhan Sabha, along with former ministers, he reflected on Haryanas six-decade journey of growth, socio-economic resilience and leadership across multiple sectors, placing the states remarkable achievements firmly within the framework of Indias constitutional values and democratic ethos. Reflecting on the states evolution over the past 60 years, he observed that Haryana has consistently remained at the forefront of national progress despite numerous historical and administrative challenges. Drawing parallels with the timeless message of karma enshrined in the Bhagavad Gita, he lauded the farming community for pioneering the adoption of modern agricultural technologies, enhancing crop yields and contributing significantly to the country's food security. He also praised Haryanas youth in the armed forces for their exemplary valour in safeguarding the nation's borders and internal security. He also commended Haryanas sportspersons for consistently enhancing India's stature on the global sporting stage. Highlighting the inclusive and deliberative nature of India's constitutional journey, the Speaker noted that the Constituent Assembly, under the guidance of the Chairman of the Drafting Committee, Babasaheb Dr B.R. Ambedkar, and with the participation of distinguished leaders from different regions, including Haryana and Punjab, laid the foundations of a cohesive parliamentary democracy amid immense linguistic, cultural and religious diversity. He emphasised that the survival and flourishing of India's diverse federal polity stand as a global testament to the resilience of its democracy. Our Constitution is not merely a framework for running the government; it is the soul of India, reflecting our national consciousness and the aspirations of crores of people, he said. He emphasised that the commitment to public service does not end with the completion of one's tenure in the Legislature. He urged lawmakers to regard governance and administration primarily as instruments of grassroots empowerment rather than merely as administrative mechanisms. He stated that the ultimate measure of political and social life lies in bringing tangible socio-economic transformation and genuine happiness to the lives of the most vulnerable sections of society.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) Actor Tiger Shroff's spokesperson has dismissed reports suggesting that the actor would make his first public appearance since the attack at a book launch event in Mumbai on November 3. According to reports, the Baaghi actor was reportedly expected to step out for his first public appearance since the attack at the launch of actor and wellness author Claudia Ciesla's book, Beyond Weight Loss: Eating, Healing & Ageing with Claudia's Concept. The event is scheduled to take place at a Mumbai hotel on November 3. However, when contacted, Tiger's spokesperson refuted the claims and called the reports baseless. The news circulating regarding Tiger Shroff making a public appearance for a book launch happening on November 3, is completely baseless. Not true at all, the spokesperson clarified. The clarification comes amid speculation about the actor's return to public appearances following the attack. The reported appearance was expected to mark a return to public engagements after a break in his professional commitments following the firing incident. Ever since the firing incident, Tiger has maintained a low profile and has not been spotted attending any public events or making media appearances. The actor has also kept away from public engagements following the incident. Last month, a firing incident was reported outside a football club near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai's Juhu area on October 18. Tiger escaped unhurt, while his driver and an autorickshaw driver sustained injuries. According to reports, the three suspects allegedly involved in the shooting were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan. They were reportedly apprehended by a joint team of the Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) and Kota City Police, acting on information provided by Mumbai Police. Two of the arrested men are from Haryana, while the third hails from Bihar. All three are suspected to have links with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Reports suggested that two of the accused were allegedly hired to carry out the firing, while the third was suspected of helping them escape after the incident. Several members of the film fraternity had condemned the firing incident and expressed concern over the safety of the actor and his family.

Yamunanagar: SDM narrowly escapes after dumper driver attempts to run him over
Digital Desk | Yamunanagar, Nov 2 (IANS) Police have registered a case in Haryana's Yamunanagar district after the driver of a dumper involved in illegal mining attempted to run over the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Vyaspur. A search has been launched to trace the absconding accused. According to police, Vyaspur SDM, Dr Kuldeep Singh, filed a complaint at the Sadhaura police station regarding the incident, which took place on the morning of October 31. In his complaint, the SDM said that he was on his way to the PWD Rest House in Sadhaura at around 6.15 a.m. to participate in the Run for Unity programme when he spotted a dumper truck near the rest house. The dumper had a blurred number plate, and the SDM suspected that it was carrying illegally mined material. He signalled the driver to stop the vehicle for inspection. However, the driver allegedly accelerated instead of stopping and attempted to drive the dumper directly towards the SDM, allegedly with the intention of running him over. Dr Singh narrowly escaped and immediately alerted the police before chasing the vehicle. During the chase, a white car, which was allegedly following the dumper, attempted to obstruct the SDM's vehicle.

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.
