Two men get jail term for hoisting Khalistani flag on government building in Punjab: NIA
New Delhi, May 01: A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court has convicted and sentenced two men to imprisonment for hoisting a Khalistani flag on a government building in Punjab's Moga at the instigation of Sikhs for Justice general counsel and designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The accused, identified as Inderjeet Singh and Jaspal Singh, residents of Moga, have been sentenced to five years and six months in jail, along with a fine of Rs 16,000 each, by the court at SAS Nagar in Mohali, a statement issued by the NIA said. The NIA had earlier chargesheeted the duo, along with two other arrested accused, and two USA-based absconders -- Pannun and his associate Rana Singh alias Harpreet Singh. Pannu and Harpreet, also a member of the SFJ, were declared proclaimed offenders in the case by the Mohali special court in 2021. The case pertains to a 2020 incident in which Inderjeet and Jaspal hoisted a Khalistani flag at the deputy commissioner's office in Moga on August 14, a day ahead of the Independence Day celebrations. The duo, acting on Pannun's instigation, entered the administrative complex of the deputy commissioner's office and climbed atop the building and hoisted a saffron-yellow coloured flag, with the word 'KHALISTAN' printed on it, the probe agency said. They had also insulted the Indian national flag by cutting its rope, causing it to fall on the ground, and dragged the tricolour by the rope, it said. Investigations in the case had revealed that Harpreet had paid Inderjeet and Jaspal to carry out these acts, the NIA said. Pannun had earlier, between 10th and 11th August 2020, uploaded a video on social media urging residents of Punjab and Haryana to hoist Khalistani flags. He even announced a USD 125,000 reward for any Indian youth who would hoist a Khalistani flag at the Red Fort, and USD 2,500 for hoisting the flag at any government office, the NIA said.

The rise was phenomenal and the fall swift. The Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) finds itself grappling with a crisis of survival. Once known as a crusader against anti-corruption, AAP finds itself mired in various scams. The party drew unprecedented public support and reshaped Indias political landscape in a remarkably short span of time. The defection of seven MPs led by Raghav Chadha, along with reports of a significant number of legislators in Punjab planning to switch sides, indicates that the party may be on the verge of losing another stronghold after Delhi. These developments point to deepening internal fissures and waning political clout, raising serious concerns about the partys ability to retain its influence in Punjab. Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Harbhajan Singh, Vikram Sahney, Rajinder Gupta, Ashok Mittal, and Swati Maliwal left AAP to join the BJP.AAP has a small presence in Goa with two MLAs and faces a high risk of poaching by other parties, according to party sources. The Party leaders took stock of defections by its MPs, there was a broad consensus within the that it is important at this juncture to keep the flock together, and ensure retention of the national party tag. The Election Commission conferred the AAP as a national party status after it met eligibility conditions by garnering at least six per cent of votes and winning seats in four states Delhi, Punjab, Goa, and Gujarat. Later, the party also bagged a seat in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. Questions are raised as to whether the AAP will save the Punjab government on borrowed time. With elections in Gujarat, Goa, and Punjab taking place next year, the party must rebuild, and expand its grassroot base . Arvind Kejriwal, once a relentless critic of the ruling party, has grown noticeably subdued following his defeat in the Assembly elections and his incarceration in the Delhi liquor case. Known for his aggressive political style, he was a forceful campaigner and a powerful orator who could galvanize public opinion and energize party workers with sharp, direct attacks on his opponents. His relative silence now marks a stark shift in the partys political momentum. At a time when strong leadership and vocal opposition are crucial, his absence from the frontlines has created a vacuum, affecting both the partys morale and its ability to mount an effective challenge. AAP not only displaced the Congress in Delhi and Punjab but also positioned itself as a potential challenger in states such as Haryana, Gujarat and Goa. Its rapid expansion signalled the emergence of a formidable alternative in the national politics However, the narrative took a dramatic turn with the eruption of the alleged liquor policy scam. What was once projected as a model of transparency became mired in controversy, raising serious questions about the partys governance and internal accountability. The scandal not only dented its carefully cultivated image but also provided political rivals with ammunition to challenge its credibility. key leaders came under scrutiny, the party started losing support base particularly among the middle class voters.

Juniper Green Energy Makes History as India's First FDRE Project Enters Commissioning Phase
India's energy transition reaches a defining milestone — Juniper's integrated 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS project enters commissioning phase across Rajasthan and Gujarat Juniper races ahead of all industry peers to become the FIRST RE developer to begin commissioning under the SJVN FDRE scheme, delivering firm, clean power to Haryana just as summer demand peaks Having already pioneered India's first merchant BESS in Bikaner, Juniper Green Energy Limited now achieves another landmark — beginning commissioning of India's first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project under Government of India’s Flagship FDRE Guidelines, marking yet another historic first for the Indian power sector. The integrated project combines 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS spanning Rajasthan and Gujarat, designed to deliver reliable, Firm and Dispatchable clean power aligned precisely to grid demand. Juniper Green Energy's FDRE power plant in Fatehgarh, Barmer, Rajasthan “This marks the start of India’s first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy project — a defining milestone in our vision to deliver firm and dispatchable renewable power. It reflects Juniper Green Energy’s strong execution capabilities, technological depth, and commitment to shaping the future of sustainable energy. By seamlessly integrating solar, wind, and battery storage at utility scale, we are not only demonstrating India’s clean energy potential but also setting new benchmarks for reliability and innovation in the sector. FDRE is not just a project type — it is our conviction about how India will power its future,” said Ankush Malik, CEO, Juniper Green Energy Limited. The FDRE Framework: Powering India's Grid on Demand As India's renewable energy capacity grew rapidly, grid stability became a pressing concern — solar stops generating at night and wind cannot be dispatched on demand. To bridge this gap, the Ministry of Power notified FDRE guidelines in June 2023, requiring developers to integrate solar, wind, and battery storage into a single project capable of delivering firm, scheduled power aligned precisely to Discom demand profiles. Unlike conventional renewables, FDRE is firm and dispatchable — making it, for the first time, a clean and reliable alternative to coal-based thermal generation Key Project Milestones The 259 MWp solar capacity commenced commercial operations in March 2026, while the 200 MWh BESS capacity began commercial operations in April 2026. Delivering Clean Power When Haryana Needs It Most As temperatures soar across North India in the summer months ahead, electricity demand in Haryana is expected to touch record highs. By commissioning its FDRE project ahead of schedule, Juniper Green Energy is directly addressing this critical need — delivering firm, renewable power that is both clean and dependable. The SJVN FDRE Tender Juniper Green Energy's FDRE project was awarded under a landmark tender floated by SJVN Limited under its SJVN FDRE Scheme, attracting India's leading renewable energy developers in a competitive reverse auction process. Juniper signed a 200 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SJVN, which has in turn executed a back-to-back Power Sale Agreement (PSA) with Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), ensuring firm, clean renewable power to the state of Haryana. Of all the developers who successfully bid under this tender, Juniper Green Energy is the FIRST to begin commissioning and supply power. FDRE: The Future of India’s Energy Transformation The transformative impact of FDRE on India's energy sector is multi-dimensional — enabling distribution companies to procure clean power that truly mirrors their demand patterns, while driving large-scale investment in battery storage and accelerating India's domestic storage ecosystem. Since the Ministry of Power issued FDRE guidelines in 2023, over 10 tenders aggregating more than 14 GW of FDRE capacity have been launched by central and state agencies including SJVN, NHPC, SECI and NTPC, with approximately 10 GW already under construction — representing one of the fastest-growing segments in India's utility-scale renewable energy market. For Juniper Green Energy, FDRE represents a core pillar of its long-term strategy. The company is at the forefront of India's transition to firm and dispatchable renewable energy, actively shaping the market through advanced integration of solar, wind, and energy storage, and by leading early execution under national FDRE programs. As new tender cycles emerge across central and state agencies, Juniper is well-positioned to continue leading from the front — developing and commissioning large-scale FDRE projects, delivering reliable clean power, and setting new benchmarks in execution, innovation, and grid-ready renewable solutions in India.
