'Even Sun is not clearly visible: Delhi residents raise alarm over rising air pollution after Diwali
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 9 (IANS) Delhi residents on Monday expressed serious concern over the worsening air pollution in the national Capital, a day after Diwali celebrations, with several people pointing to stubble burning, firecrackers and pollution from neighbouring states as contributing factors. Residents also urged people to take precautions, particularly to protect children, elderly people and those suffering from respiratory illnesses. An elderly resident highlighted the severity of the pollution, saying that the situation had become alarming, with even sunlight barely visible through the thick layer of smog. Pollution levels in Delhi are extremely high. I have noticed that even the Sun is not clearly visible. This is wrong, and stubble burning in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and other areas is contributing to the high pollution levels here, the elderly man told IANS. Another Delhi resident appealed to people to celebrate festivals responsibly and remain mindful of the health risks posed by deteriorating air quality. Describing Diwali as Indias biggest and a sacred festival, the local recalled its religious significance, marking the return of Lord Ram after his 14-year exile. However, the resident urged people to take particular care of vulnerable sections of society. I would like to urge the people of Delhi to please take care of children and the elderly. Those who suffer from asthma and young children, whose lungs are very delicate, are particularly vulnerable, the resident told IANS. Meanwhile, another local expressed concern over the rising pollution levels and alleged that people had failed to take adequate precautions despite warnings. Pollution levels in Delhi have become particularly high. Pollution from other neighbouring states is also contributing to the problem here. It started yesterday evening. According to the Delhi High Courts orders, a high alert had been issued, and the AQI has worsened. Despite this, people living here did not pay much attention or take precautions. Instead, they contributed to increasing pollution as much as possible by bursting crackers far beyond the prescribed timeline by the Supreme Court, right into the wee hours of Monday, the resident told IANS. Meanwhile, Delhi witnessed a sharp deterioration in air quality on Monday, with a dense blanket of smog covering several parts of the national Capital during the morning hours and significantly reducing visibility. According to the Central Pollution Control Boards (CPCB) Sameer application, Delhis average Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 376, placing it in the Very Poor category. The worsening post-Diwali pollution has once again raised concerns over public health, particularly for children, senior citizens and people with pre-existing respiratory conditions.

Punjab And Haryana Spar Over Who Is Really Tackling Stubble Burning
After Punjab questioned Haryana over farm fires in the state and accused it of blaming Punjab for Delhi's pollution, the Haryana government has countered by showcasing its crop-residue management model
New Delhi [India], November 8 : Delhi's air quality deteriorated sharply on Sunday morning, with the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) slipping into the 'severe' category at 483 at 8:10 am, as several parts of the national capital recorded pollution levels above 400, according to data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The worsening air quality comes after the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Friday invoked Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) across Delhi-NCR, two days ahead of Diwali, amid concerns over further deterioration in pollution levels. According to CPCB data, Bawana recorded an AQI of 446, followed by Punjabi Bagh at 449, RK Puram at 448, IIT Delhi and Rohini at 445 each, Chandni Chowk at 420, Patparganj at 421 and Alipur at 413. All these areas fell under the 'severe' category. Meanwhile, Anand Vihar recorded an AQI of 328, while Narela registered 395, with both areas falling under the 'very poor' category. The air quality around India Gate was recorded at 398, categorised as 'very poor', while the area around Akshardham Temple registered an AQI of 336, also falling under the 'very poor' category, according to CPCB data. As winter has begun to set in, several parts of Delhi woke up to a thick layer of haze on Sunday morning, with poor visibility and deteriorating air quality adding to concerns among residents. The overall AQI of 483 marks a significant deterioration from Saturday morning, when Delhi's AQI stood at 364 at 8 am, placing it in the 'very poor' category. According to CPCB classification, an AQI between 0 and 50 is considered 'good', 51-100 'satisfactory', 101-200 'moderate', 201-300 'poor', 301-400 'very poor', and 401-500 'severe'. With Stage III measures in force following the CAQM's decision, existing restrictions will continue alongside additional pollution-control measures, increased enforcement and directions to concerned agencies to prevent further deterioration in air quality. The emergency action plan applies across Delhi and adjoining districts of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. It is invoked as a precautionary measure based on meteorological and pollution forecasts provided by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), allowing restrictions to be implemented before citywide AQI levels reach the 'severe' category. GRAP is a four-stage emergency framework managed by the CAQM in coordination with the CPCB and regional state governments. Restrictions become progressively stricter as air quality deteriorates. Under Stage I, triggered when the AQI is between 201 and 300 and categorised as 'poor', the focus is on controlling road dust, enforcing pollution norms and prohibiting open waste burning. Stage II comes into force when the AQI is between 301 and 400, categorised as 'very poor'. It entails enhanced dust-control measures, higher parking fees and staggered office timings. Stage III is invoked when the AQI reaches the 401-450 range, classified as 'severe', and includes stricter vehicle restrictions, a halt to construction activities and hybrid learning arrangements for primary school students. Stage IV, applicable when the AQI exceeds 450 and enters the 'severe plus' category, involves restrictions on heavy goods vehicles and emergency measures targeting traffic and industrial pollution. The activation of Stage III introduces additional high-impact measures aimed at curbing vehicular emissions and dust pollution, operating alongside the existing Stage I and Stage II restrictions. Under the Stage III restrictions, BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers are prohibited from plying across Delhi and designated districts of the National Capital Region (NCR). The revised framework also tightens restrictions on older light and medium goods vehicles, as well as diesel commercial vehicles not registered in Delhi entering the national capital. All non-essential construction activities generating substantial dust have been suspended. These include major excavation work, earthwork, demolition and road construction. Essential projects permitted to continue are required to follow stringent dust-mitigation protocols. Heavy dust-generating operations, including stone crushers and mining activities, also face immediate shutdown or operational restrictions. The measures are aimed at containing pollution levels and preventing further deterioration in air quality across Delhi-NCR following the Diwali celebration today. (ANI)
Kashmirs food bowl runs short as import dependence deepens
Rice imports rise to 4.86 lakh tonnes, up 30% in two years Mutton deficit touches 175 lakh kg annually 69% shortfall in poultry meat, 97% deficit in eggs Shrinking paddy acreage, livestock gaps expose vulnerabilities Srinagar, Nov 07: Kashmirs food basket is increasingly being filled by supplies arriving from outside, exposing a widening gap between local production and rising consumption. Despite fertile agricultural land, abundant water resources and a strong farming tradition, the Valley remains dependent on neighbouring states for several essential commodities, including rice, mutton, poultry, eggs and seasonal vegetables. The dependence becomes particularly visible during winter, when snowfall, landslides and prolonged disruptions on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway affect the movement of essential commodities, sometimes triggering shortages and price increases. Rice remains one of the clearest indicators of this changing food economy. Official figures accessed by the Rising Kashmir show that 4.86 lakh metric tonnes of rice were brought into J&K during 2024-25, compared with 4.36 lakh tonnes in 2023-24 and 3.74 lakh tonnes in 2022-23. The increase of 1.12 lakh tonnes in two years reflects the growing importance of outside supplies in meeting the regions staple food requirements. Estimates suggest local production meets only around 50-55 per cent of Kashmirs rice demand, said an official privy to the figures. The changing agricultural landscape is an important factor. Paddy cultivation, once central to Kashmirs rural economy, faces pressure from urbanisation, conversion of agricultural land into orchards, rising cultivation costs and comparatively higher returns from horticulture. Apple cultivation has expanded considerably, with the area increasing from 1,07,930 hectares in 2004-05 to 1,73,073 hectares in 2024-25. While horticulture has strengthened rural incomes, the changing crop pattern raises questions about maintaining sufficient land for foodgrain production. The issue is not about choosing between apples and rice, but ensuring a balance between commercially rewarding agriculture and the regions ability to meet essential food requirements. The livestock sector presents another significant challenge. The figures reveal that J&K produces approximately 370 lakh kilograms of mutton annually against an estimated demand of 545 lakh kilograms, leaving a deficit of nearly 175 lakh kilograms. Despite having substantial sheep and goat populations, the region continues to depend on animals brought from outside to bridge the gap. The shortfall becomes particularly visible during the marriage season, when demand rises sharply, and large consignments arrive from neighbouring states. Disruptions in livestock supplies from Punjab in July 2026 affected market availability and pushed prices upwards, demonstrating how external supply interruptions can quickly affect consumers, traders and Kashmirs traditional Wazwan economy. The poultry sector reveals an even wider production gap. Estimates accessed by this newspaper indicate a 69 per cent shortfall in poultry meat production and a 97 per cent deficit in egg production. Kashmir reportedly brings in around 5.5 crore chickens annually, mainly from Punjab and Haryana, the figures reveal. Dependence also extends to day-old chicks and poultry feed, making local producers vulnerable to transportation costs and fluctuations in external supplies. Vegetable production presents a mixed picture. Districts such as Budgam, Pulwama, Baramulla, Shopian and Anantnag produce potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, beans, peas and leafy vegetables. However, production is largely seasonal, and dependence on outside supplies increases during winter when local cultivation declines. The official estimates suggest that milk production offers a relatively encouraging contrast, with J&K recording approximately 31.77 lakh metric tonnes during 2024-25. However, the performance of the dairy sector has not been replicated in mutton and poultry, highlighting uneven development across agricultural sectors. Beyond production, inadequate storage and transportation infrastructure remain major weaknesses. Official figures placed the number of cold storage facilities in J&K at 92, with a combined capacity of 1,51,833 metric tonnes. The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway remains the principal surface supply corridor. Snowfall, landslides, shooting stones and heavy rainfall can interrupt traffic, delaying trucks carrying foodgrains, poultry, livestock and vegetables. Such disruptions increase freight expenses and can affect market availability. Climate variability adds another layer of uncertainty. Irregular rainfall, prolonged dry spells and changing temperatures affect sowing patterns, crop yields and harvesting schedules, making agricultural production increasingly vulnerable. An official at the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture Science and Technology (SKUAST) Kashmir said that government initiatives under the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme aim to improve productivity, modernise farming and strengthen livestock production. Expanding sheep and goat farming, improving breeding facilities, developing fodder resources and supporting poultry entrepreneurs are important steps towards reducing dependence, he said. However, strengthening food security requires attention to the entire chain, from protecting agricultural land and increasing local production to improving storage, processing and transportation.

Man arrested for shooting neighbour in Faridabad over parking dispute
Digital Desk | Faridabad, Nov 7 (IANS) A man accused of shooting his neighbour following an altercation over parking in Sector-21C of Haryana's Faridabad, has been arrested, officials said on Saturday. The incident took place on Friday, coinciding with the occasion of Dhanteras. The deceased was identified as Paramjit Dhankar, who had returned from Singapore just two days before the incident to attend a family wedding, officials said. According to the police, his neighbour, identified as Mohan alias Monu Sharma, allegedly opened fire with his licenced pistol, firing around 15 to 16 rounds. Eight to nine bullets reportedly hit Paramjit, leaving him dead. A team of Crime Branch Sector-30 has now arrested the accused. Preliminary questioning revealed that the accused lived on the second floor of House number 641, while the deceased, Parmjeet, lived on the ground floor with his family. According to the police, Parmjeet's son Shaurya said in his complaint that at around 8:30 p.m. on November 6, his neighbour Mohan Sharma rang the doorbell and called his father downstairs to move a vehicle. Shaurya also accompanied his father. Once downstairs, Mohan allegedly began arguing with Parmjeet, and the dispute escalated. During the altercation, the accused allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired multiple shots at Parmjeet. Mohan also fired at the complainant, who managed to save himself by taking cover behind parked vehicles. The accused then fled the spot in his car. Parmjeet later succumbed to the gunshot injuries. Based on the complaint, Surajkund Police registered a case under charges of murder, attempted murder, and criminal conspiracy, and launched an investigation.

New Delhi , Nov 7 : Delhi continued to grapple with hazardous air quality on Saturday morning, with the city's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) standing at 364 at 8 am, according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data. This places the capital in the 'very poor' category (301400), though several stations recorded 'severe' levels (401500). IIT Delhi logged 443, Punjabi Bagh recorded 433, and Narela stood at 409, all in the 'severe' band. Cantonment Area recorded 315, and Dhaula Kuan stood at 318, with Anand Vihar at 272 in the 'very poor' and 'poor' categories. According to the India Meteorological Department, misty conditions prevailed at New Delhi-Safdarjung, where the temperature was 17.0C at 5:30 am. This marks a slight improvement from Friday morning, when the citywide AQI stood at 389. The readings come a day after the Sub-Committee on the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) invoked Stage 3 across Delhi-NCR, two days ahead of Diwali, to prevent further deterioration. According to the CPCB, an AQI between 301 and 400 falls under the very poor category, while readings between 401 and 500 are classified as severe. With Stage-III measures now in force, the existing curbs will continue alongside additional measures, including stricter pollution-control steps, increased enforcement and directions to concerned agencies to prevent further deterioration in air quality. The emergency action planwhich applies across Delhi and adjoining districts of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthanis invoked as a precautionary measure based on meteorological and pollution forecasts from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), ensuring restrictions are placed before citywide Air Quality Index (AQI) levels breach the 'Severe' 401 mark. GRAP is a four-stage emergency framework managed by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in coordination with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and regional state governments, with restrictions becoming progressively stricter as air quality worsens. Under Stage I, triggered when the AQI is between 201 and 300 and categorised as 'poor', the focus is on road dust control, enforcing pollution norms and banning open waste burning. Stage II kicks in when AQI is between 301 and 400, or 'very poor', bringing enhanced dust control, higher parking fees and staggered office timings. Stage III is invoked when AQI reaches 401 to 450, classified as 'severe', and entails strict vehicle bans, halting of construction and hybrid learning for primary schools. Stage IV, for AQI above 450 categorised as 'severe plus', involves a ban on heavy goods vehicles and emergency traffic and industrial restrictions. The activation of Stage III introduces high-impact measures targeted at curbing emissions and dust, operating concurrently with existing Stage I and Stage II mandates. Strict bans are enforced on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers across Delhi and designated NCR districts. The revised framework also tightens restrictions on older light/medium goods vehicles and non-Delhi-registered diesel commercial vehicles entering the capital. All non-essential, highly dust-generating construction, major excavations, earthwork, demolition, and road construction are suspended. Permitted essential projects must follow rigorous dust-mitigation protocols. Heavy dust-generating operations, including stone crushers and mining activities, face immediate shutdown or operational restrictions. School Operations: Guidelines allow education authorities to shift primary classes (up to Class 5) to a hybrid learning model, combining physical classroom and online instruction to reduce children's exposure to toxic air. Authorities are augmenting public transportation frequencyadding extra Metro trips and deploying additional busesto absorb commuter demand and discourage private vehicle use. Stage III serves as a vital circuit-breaker designed to prevent air quality from escalating into the dangerous Stage 4 ('Severe+') territory. By targeting primary sources of particulate matterspecifically PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen oxidesthe restrictions reduce public health risks related to respiratory illnesses and cardiovascular stress, particularly among vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. While GRAP operates as an emergency intervention, CAQM officials emphasise that these 48 coordinated action items across all four stages underscore the long-term necessity of regional coordination, cleaner transport adoption, and sustainable urban waste management.

Digital Desk | Faridabad, Nov 7 (IANS) A man was shot dead by his neighbour following an altercation over parking in Sector-21C of Haryana's Faridabad, officials said on Saturday. The incident took place on Friday, coinciding with the occasion of Dhanteras. The deceased has been identified as Paramjit Dhankar, who had returned from Singapore just two days before the incident to attend a family wedding, officials said. According to the police, his neighbour, identified as Mohan alias Monu Sharma, allegedly opened fire with his licenced pistol, firing around 15 to 16 rounds. Eight to nine bullets reportedly hit Paramjit, leaving him dead. Surajkund Station House Officer (SHO) Prahlad Kumar, while briefing reporters about the incident, said, Paramjit lived on the first floor of house number 641 with his wife, son and daughter. He was employed with a major company and had been residing in Singapore for work. He had returned to Faridabad just two days ago to attend his nephew's wedding, which was scheduled for November 24. Paramjit originally belonged to Hisar. It is reported that Paramjit returned home from the gym at around 8 p.m., when a parking dispute broke out with Mohan alias Monu Sharma, who lives on the third floor. As the argument escalated, Monu allegedly opened fire on him, the SHO added. Police said there had been tensions between the two families for some time. Around five days before the shooting, the accused had allegedly used abusive language against Paramjit's son, officials added. After the shooting, the accused reportedly fled from the spot along with his family members. SHO Prahlad Kumar said that after receiving information about the incident, police teams, personnel from the Crime Branch and a team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) reached the scene to begin an investigation. Empty bullet shell casings were recovered from the spot as part of the evidence collection. The police have launched a search operation to trace and arrest the accused. Meanwhile, the body of Paramjit has been sent for a post-mortem examination, which will be conducted at ESI Medical College. An investigation is underway, and further details are awaited.
From Vadodara to Palam: The Unforgettable Indian Experiences of Overseas Umpires
Believe it: Australian umpire Ben Treloar recently officiated in two Ranji Trophy matches. His first assignment was the Delhi-Gujarat fixture in Palam, followed by Mumbais match against Haryana. Similarly, Indian umpire Parashar Joshi will officiate in two Sheffield Shield matches and a One Day Cup fixture in Australia. The exchange is part of the 2026 Umpire Exchange Programme between Cricket Australia (CA) and the BCCI. Before Treloar, several foreign umpires had officiated in Indian domestic matches under similar programmes, returning home with vivid memories and interesting stories. Australian umpire Greg Davidsons visit to India in 2020 gave him memories that went well beyond cricket. He officiated in his first Ranji Trophy match in Vadodara, Gujarat, before his next assignment took him to Mumbai. At six feet ten inches, Davidson was hard to miss. People approached him for photographs and selfies, making him feel like a celebrity. The Mumbai airport was very noisy and crowded, like a jam-packed cricket stadium, he recalled. Davidson and his wife, Tracey, also experienced Indian hospitality away from the cricket ground. Tracey, a schoolteacher, was taken to local primary schools in Mumbai by Indian match referee Varsha Nagrey, giving the couple a glimpse of another side of Indian life. Davidson had expected dry, dusty pitches in India. Instead, he found a fair amount of grass and good carry on the surfaces. South African umpire Lubabalo Gcuma discovered that Indian pitches presented a different challenge. In November 2016, he officiated in the Ranji Trophy match between Assam and Maharashtra in Chennai. Officiating here is a different thing altogether, he observed, explaining that the ball could spin sharply or jump off the surface. Standing on a dusty, turning pitch while dealing with loud appeals from several close-in fielders demanded a different level of alertness from what he was used to in South Africa. In November 2016, Australian umpire Sam Nogajski fell ill during a Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh in Mysuru. He suffered stomach pain and loose motions and was admitted to hospital with dehydration. His illness forced him to withdraw, leaving his Indian colleague, Virender Sharma, in an unusual situation. A reserve umpire, Vejith D, was available, but he was not part of the BCCI umpiring panel and could not take over the on-field duties at the bowlers end. He could serve only as the square-leg umpire. As a result, Sharma had to officiate from both ends. Former England player-turned-umpire Martin Saggers also noted the differences in crowd energy and playing conditions during his Ranji Trophy assignments. He praised the hospitality but pointed out that the long Indian domestic season and dry, abrasive outfields demanded different physical preparation from that required for English county cricket. Treloars first assignment in India was an adventure in Palam. One unusual feature was the regular sight and sound of aircraft overhead. Located in an aviation-heavy part of Delhi, the ground had planes flying over it repeatedly during the four-day match. Delhi piled up 648 for six before declaring, while Gujarat replied with 479. Treloar stood through 318.5 overs in the drawn match. It was his first experience of officiating in an innings in which a team scored around 650. He spent almost the entire match at one end, with only four overs at the other. Treloars Indian experience also brought some unexpected interactions. Players from Delhi and Gujarat approached him to ask where he came from and what he was doing there. He was impressed by their passion for the game and the hospitality shown by players, team management, ground staff and catering staff. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Away from cricket, Treloar explored Delhis markets, bought spices and sampled local food, including dal, vegetable curries, garlic-butter naan and vada pav. A keen cook at home, he was already thinking of taking some Indian flavours back to his family in Australia.

Shameless self-clean chit on PCS (Mains) exams, claims Punjab BJP
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 6 (IANS) Punjab BJP President, Kewal Singh Dhillon, on Friday rejected the Punjab Public Service Commissions (PPSC) clarification regarding the controversial PCS (Mains) examination results and alleged that it was a shameless self-clean chit designed to shield influential politicians. Dhillon said the Punjab governments recruitment machinery has been completely compromised, turning competitive exams into systematic rackets where merit is sacrificed. Responding to the PPSC Chairmans statement dismissing irregularities as statistical misinterpretations, he pointed out that an agency facing grave allegations cannot sit in judgment of its own conduct. How can the accused become the judge? The PPSCs internal justification is nothing but an orchestrated cover-up, Dhillon claimed. He alleged, No amount of mathematical jugglery can convince the youth of Punjab that 10 to 11 candidates clearing from a single examination hall and clusters of consecutive roll numbers qualifying in a subjective, descriptive exam like PCS (Mains) is mere coincidence. Why is the commission afraid of an independent forensic audit if everything was above board? he asked. Connecting the PCS controversy to the broader crisis of recruitment integrity in the state, Dhillon reminded the Chief Minister of the Pharmacy Officer (Pharmacist) recruitment examination, where an organised interstate cheating racket involving wireless spy devices, hidden pen cameras, and real-time dictation was busted, leading to dozens of arrests and subsequent High Court intervention. First, it was the Pharmacist recruitment exam, where government jobs were virtually put on sale with high-tech cheating devices and paper-leak mafias running rampant. Now, Punjabs premier civil services examination has been tainted with identical suspicion. This is not an isolated lapse; it is a recurring pattern of corruption under the Aam Aadmi Party regime that has shattered the trust of lakhs of hardworking, educated youth. The Mann governments tall claims of zero tolerance and merit-based recruitment lie exposed as a monumental fraud, Dhillon said. The state BJP chief demanded to hand over both the PCS (Mains) irregularities and the recruitment scandals, including the pharmacist recruitment scam, to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the direct supervision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Delhi Red Fort blast case: NIA court to hear arguements on framing of charges
New Delhi , November 5 : Special NIA court at Rouse Avenue on Thursday listed the Red Fort Delhi Blast case for hearing arguments on framing of charges from Friday onwards. This case pertains to the November 2025 Red Fort car bomb blast case. The NIA filed a charge sheet against several accused persons. One of them died in the deadly blast that took place near Red Fort in November 2025. Special NIA Judge Prashant Sharma on Thursday listed the matter for hearing arguements on behalf of the NIA from November 6. The court listed the matter for arguements from November 6 to November 27.

An Accused is absconding. A Supplementary charge sheet was also filed against 2 accused persons. The NIA filed a change sheet running in 7500 pages and cited more than 580 witnesses. Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Madhav Khurana alongwith Trisha Mittal, Public Prosecutor Anil Dabas, appeared for the NIA. It was submitted that the First charge sheet against 11 accused was filed on May 14. Thereafter, a Supplementary charge sheet was filed on June 27, 2026 NIA made Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather, Dr. Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Soyab, Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla and Yasir Ahmad Dar as accused. According to the NIA, the high-intensity Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) explosion killed 11 people and injured several others, besides causing extensive damage to nearby property. The agency has invoked provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act and Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. Among those chargesheeted is the alleged main conspirator, Dr. Umer Un Nabi, whose proceedings are proposed to be abated owing to his death. The remaining accused named in the prosecution complaint are Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather, Dr. Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Soyab, Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla and Yasir Ahmad Dar. The NIA alleged that all the accused were associated with Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), which was declared a terrorist organisation by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2018. According to the agency, the chargesheet is based on an extensive investigation conducted across Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi-NCR. The prosecution complaint reportedly contains 588 oral testimonies, over 395 documents and more than 200 seized material exhibits. The NIA has alleged a larger jihadi conspiracy involving radicalised individuals, including medical professionals, allegedly inspired by AQIS/AGuH ideology.

The agency further alleged that the accused launched an operation titled Operation Heavenly Hind aimed at overthrowing the democratically elected government and imposing Sharia rule. According to the probe agency, the accused allegedly recruited members, spread extremist ideology, stockpiled arms and ammunition and manufactured explosives using commercially available chemicals. The NIA claimed that the explosive substance used in the blast was Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), allegedly prepared after multiple experiments. The investigation also allegedly revealed illegal procurement of prohibited weapons, including AK-47 rifles, Krinkov rifles and country-made pistols, along with experiments involving rocket-based and drone-mounted IEDs targeting security establishments. The agency stated that scientific and forensic examination, including DNA fingerprinting and voice analysis, helped establish the identity of the deceased accused, Dr. Umer Un Nabi. (ANI)

Agniveers should be directly regularised: Bhupinder Singh
Digital Desk | Rohtak, Nov 5 (IANS) Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday said Agniveers should be directly regularised without imposing any condition on them. Granting them an extension of service for just two years is an insult to their dignity. The Leader of Opposition was responding to media queries at his residence here. He said the Congress had been opposing the Agnipath scheme from day one. Our clear stand is that this scheme is neither in the interest of the country nor in the interest of the Army. Even several former Army officers had openly spoken out against it. Now, the government has finally been forced to acknowledge this and, following widespread opposition, has announced the addition of some new provisions to the scheme, he said. However, the Congress leader said, the manner in which the government is granting Agniveers an additional service extension of just two years and subsequently imposing conditions for their regularisation is not right. What additional criteria can be required from a young person who has served in the Army for six years? Such a person is fully prepared to continue serving in the Army regularly. Then why are they not being recruited as regular soldiers, as was the practice earlier? The two-time Chief Minister advocated that every soldier joining the Army should be provided with a full service tenure, permanent employment, complete salary, allowances, facilities and pension. Replying to a question regarding guest teachers, Hooda said that they should be regularised with immediate effect. The policy formulated by the Congress government for regularising contractual employees has itself been upheld by both the High Court and the Supreme Court. Under the same policy, the court has also directed the regularisation of guest teachers. However, the BJP is going back on its promises to teachers. This is the same BJP that, in 2014, secured votes from thousands of families of guest teachers by promising to regularise them. But after coming to power, the BJP forgot this promise, just like all its other promises, he added.
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the five-member High-Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC), constituted to investigate allegations of police excesses during the July student protests, to submit its fact-finding report within one month. A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi made the observation after the Committee, chaired by former apex court judge Justice R. Subhash Reddy, submitted its status report in a sealed cover. The top court clarified that the status report submitted by the HPEC on October 31 merely outlined the progress made so far and did not contain any findings on the allegations under investigation. The CJI-led Bench directed the HPEC to examine all documents, video recordings and other material placed before it, including those submitted by the petitioners on behalf of the affected persons, and also seek responses from the authorities concerned. The Supreme Court said the panel should not restrict its inquiry to complaints formally received from victims but should also consider the representations and evidence submitted through lawyers and other persons. The CJI-led Bench was informed that despite efforts to invite complaints, only a few representations had been received through the dedicated portal, while none had been submitted through email, post, or physical delivery. The apex court said the Committee had made efforts to publicise the complaint mechanism, including through print and electronic media, and had also issued notices to protestors who had sought to register their grievances. However, only one complainant appeared before the HPEC on October 29 and submitted an affidavit. Some police personnel had also appeared before the panel. The Supreme Court said the Committee should proceed with its fact-finding exercise on the basis of the material already available with it rather than wait indefinitely for more complaints. Whatever material has come, the committee need not wait indefinitely. Based on that, we would like the committee to give a fact-finding report, the bench said. It also asked the Centre to file a detailed affidavit in the matter. The CJI-led Bench also recorded the resignation of retired Meghalaya Director General of Police Dr L.R. Bishnoi from the HPEC. The matter has been posted for further hearing on December 2. The Supreme Court had constituted the five-member HPEC on August 18 to investigate allegations of excessive police force and violence during the students' march from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament on July 20. Headed by Justice Subhash Reddy (retd), the panel also comprises former Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Ravi Shankar Jha, former Delhi High Court judge Justice Shalinder Kaur, and former CBI Director Rishi Kumar Shukla. The HPEC was tasked with examining allegations relating to the use of pellet guns, electric batons, lathi charges and tear gas, alleged targeted violence and harassment of women protestors, and excessive violence and destruction of property by both sides. The Supreme Court had also directed the police authorities, paramilitary forces and other investigating agencies to preserve and furnish CCTV footage, drone recordings, body-worn camera footage, wireless communication records and PCR call logs relating to the protests. The HPEC subsequently launched a dedicated portal to invite complaints and representations from affected persons, including police personnel, while providing safeguards for vulnerable witnesses and confidentiality of identities.

Brar Credits Change In Length, Advice From Gill And Pacers For Three-wicket Haul In Auckland
Gurnoor Brar: India seamer Gurnoor Brar has credited a quick tactical rethink and some advice from his captain Shubman Gill and fellow pacers Arshdeep Singh and Anshul Kamboj after picking a three-wicket haul in the first ODI against New Zealand at Eden Park. Brar returned 3-44, as Indias pace attack bundled out New Zealand for 185 in 40.2 overs to set up a five-wicket win by the DLS method at the Eden Park on Wednesday. The atmosphere here is very good for bowling. The wickets are quite good. We had practiced here for four or five days earlier, so the wicket was similar. I just backed my length and my bowling style, and these are the results, Brar said in a video posted on the BCCIs social media accounts on Thursday. The tall seamer had been hit for a six in his very first over and he said that prompted a change of plan. The game plan was that the straight boundary here is a bit short. The six I conceded off my first over was on a slightly fullish delivery. So my thought process was to pull the length back and make it hard to hit over square leg or fine leg. I discussed this with Shubman, Arshdeep and Anshul, who had bowled on this wicket before, and they suggested if we hit the hard length, I would get better bounce because of my height. Indias seamers found movement and bounce from just short of a good length throughout. Arshdeep Singh took 4-70, and Anshul Kamboj, named Player of the Match, gave away only 22 runs in his 10 overs while claiming two wickets. Brar stated the collective effort of the four-pronged pace attack made the day special. All four of us have got an opportunity together. Obviously, Arsh has played a lot of games. He is the most experienced bowler in India in the T20s. So, my plan was that if I am here to bowl, I have to back myself up and I have to win it for this team. That combined effort made it even more fun. Even Auqib (Nabi) didnt get a wicket, but he bowled brilliantly and Anshul bowled brilliantly. I bowled a brilliant spell as well and had wickets too. So, it feels really good if all four fast bowlers are playing for a purpose, and we achieve that. So, hopefully, we will keep doing this. Kamboj, who conceded 82 runs without a wicket on his ODI debut against the West Indies in New Chandigarh last month, said he had kept his focus on the conditions and bowling the right lengths. Basically, I wasnt thinking much about it. I was just thinking about the situation and what the situation demands, and according to that, I should execute my plans and lengths more and not think about other things. Its because at last, you have to see whats happening with the wicket, what is the right length you want to bowl. So, I should focus more on that. The Haryana pacer further said his outlook had changed since his international debut came in a Test match against England in Manchester in 2025, which didnt go too well. My approach and mindset about cricket has changed. I am playing cricket with an attacking mindset due to more games being played nowadays. So, I am playing better with an attacking mindset now. My body language is better and this was my mindset after I made my debut to keep my body language and mindset attacking so that my body language becomes positive. Kamboj added that one bad outing was never going to define him. I wanted to focus on what I am doing well and not focus on what went wrong. But no ones career is decided by a single match because the hard work of 10-12 years, it cant be decided by a single match. So, I wanted to change my approach and keep my mindset attacking. So, I am playing better with an attacking mindset now. My body language is better and this was my mindset after I made my debut to keep my body language and mindset attacking so that my body language becomes positive.

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.
