Dry weather to persist in Delhi with cooler nights ahead; AQI remains moderate
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS) The weather in the national capital has turned quite dry, with bright sunshine keeping daytime temperatures warm. However, a slight drop in night temperatures is likely. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted clear skies throughout the coming week, with no possibility of rain in Delhi. Bright sunshine was observed across most parts of Delhi from Wednesday morning. However, with northwesterly winds prevailing over the region, the weather has become increasingly dry. The maximum temperature at Delhi's standard observatory at Safdarjung was recorded at 34.2 degrees Celsius, which was 0.5 degrees below normal. The minimum temperature was recorded at 22.4 degrees Celsius. The IMD has said that the southwest monsoon season had ended with a 13 per cent rainfall deficit. However, monsoon rains continue to withdraw from different parts of the country. As the monsoon retreats, parts of southern and northeastern India are expected to receive rainfall on Thursday, according to the IMD. Heavy rainfall is very likely at isolated places over Kerala, South Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal. In IMD's terminology, 'isolated' refers to rainfall occurring over a small proportion of locations, generally up to 25 per cent of weather stations in a region. Meanwhile, Kerala, coastal Karnataka and the southern parts of Karnataka are expected to receive rainfall at several places on Thursday. Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Lakshadweep are likely to receive rain at a few places. Karnataka has already experienced a wet spell during the 24 hours ending at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Kibbanahalli in Tumakuru district recorded 10 cm of rainfall, the highest recorded by the IMD during the period. Thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds of 40-50 kmph are very likely at isolated places over Kerala and Mahe, Rayalaseema, and Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal. Winds of 30-40 kmph are expected over Andhra Pradesh, Interior Karnataka and Odisha, while strong surface winds may also prevail over parts of Andhra Pradesh. In the Northeast, thunderstorms and lightning are likely over Assam and Meghalaya, as well as Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. Similar conditions are also expected over East Madhya Pradesh. Scattered rainfall is likely over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. The southwest monsoon normally begins withdrawing from northwest India in mid-September and completely retreats from the country by mid-October. This year, the withdrawal line currently passes through Gurdaspur (Punjab), Chandigarh, Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh), Aligarh (UP), Dholpur, Udaipur and Deesa (Rajasthan) before extending to Naliya in Gujarat. The IMD said conditions are likely to become favourable over the next two to three days for the withdrawal of the monsoon from the remaining parts of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Similar conditions are expected to develop over most parts of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, as well as the entirety of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Some parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra may also witness further withdrawal. Meanwhile, Delhi's air quality remained in the moderate category, with several monitoring stations recording elevated pollution levels. The AQI readings included Mandir Marg (150), Aya Nagar (135), CRRI Mathura Road (198), Pusa (22), Sirifort (171), IGI Airport T3 (155), Commonwealth Sports Complex (179), IIT Delhi (249), Anand Vihar (98), Najafgarh (144), Jahangirpuri (207), Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (173), Sonia Vihar (151), Cantonment Area (106) and Narela (189).

Jharkhand shutdown evokes mixed response, traffic hit by road blockades in several districts
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 30 (IANS) A statewide shutdown called on Wednesday by activists of the separate Jharkhand movement for pensions for agitators, jobs for dependents, among several other demands, evoked a mixed response across the state. Protesters blocked roads and disrupted traffic in districts such as Palamu, Giridih, and Bokaro, while normal life remained largely unaffected in several urban centres, including the state capital Ranchi. The bandh had a relatively stronger impact in Medininagar of Palamu , where agitators carrying bows, arrows and other traditional weapons took to the streets and blocked the busy Redma Chowk. Several protesters sat on the road as a mark of protest, causing long queues of vehicles on both sides. The blockade inconvenienced school children, commuters, and long-distance travellers. In Giridih, activists blocked the Giridih-Dumri main road near the old toll plaza at Paparwatand and raised slogans while sitting on the roadway. The blockade was later lifted following talks with the police. In Bokaro, protesters staged a road blockade at the ITI Mor area in Chas, disrupting the movement of local as well as goods-carrying vehicles for some time. The impact of the shutdown was hardly visible in Ranchi. Protesters briefly disrupted traffic near Albert Ekka Chowk in the morning, but the situation returned to normal after police and administrative officials intervened. The agitators later staged a sit-in at the nearby CPI office premises. Most markets in Ranchi remained open, while buses and autorickshaws continued to operate normally. Reports from Chatra and Garhwa indicated disruptions in the movement of buses and heavy commercial vehicles. In some parts of Ramgarh and Dhanbad, protesters appealed to traders to support the bandh, while local transportation was affected at some locations. The most impacted by the bandh were the long-distance bus services. Some services operating from Jamshedpur, Ranchi, Dhanbad and Hazaribagh to Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and various districts within Jharkhand were affected. They remained off roads largely as a precautionary measure. However, train services on major railway routes remained normal. Autorickshaws and e-rickshaws continued to operate in most towns and cities, although traffic congestion at key highway intersections caused temporary disruptions. Leaders of the agitation, including Pushkar Mahto and former MP Bhuvneshwar Prasad Mehta, said that several demands of Jharkhand movement activists remain unresolved even 26 years after the formation of the state. They warned that if the government fails to take a decision on their demands soon, an indefinite hunger strike would be launched across the state from November 15, the Jharkhand Foundation Day.

Chidambaram calls SIR process deeply flawed, questions ECs decisions
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS) Former Union Minister and Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Wednesday criticised the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of electoral rolls, alleging that it has been marred by serious concerns and disagreements within the poll panel. Speaking to IANS, Chidambaram said, The Election Commission is totally wrong. The SIR process has been doubted by the two Election Commissioners, and they have pointed out that there were 14 disagreements between the Election Commissioners and the Chief Election Commissioner. He further referred to alleged errors in the electoral revision process in several states, including Karnataka, Maharashtra and Haryana. Too many mistakes have been pointed out in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Haryana. So many mistakes have been pointed out in the past. The SIR process is deeply flawed. If it was not flawed, why should the Election Commission meet again and change the process? What happened a few days ago should be totally scrapped, he said. Reports of differences within the three-member Election Commission over aspects of the SIR exercise have triggered a political controversy. According to reports, Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections on several issues over a period of 10 months. The Election Commission, however, has maintained that the final decisions on the SIR exercise were unanimous and that the observations raised during the process were part of its deliberations. The INDIA bloc is scheduled to hold a meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday to discuss the Election Commission row and chalk out a joint strategy on the SIR process. The meeting is also expected to consider plans for a nationwide agitation, including protests and public rallies against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. An impeachment motion against him in Parliament is also expected to be discussed. The meeting comes after the Congress Working Committee adopted a resolution seeking CEC Kumars removal and raising concerns over the functioning of the Election Commission. The Opposition has intensified its criticism of the poll panel following reports about the differences between the two Election Commissioners and the CEC over electoral roll revisions. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also alleged irregularities in the electoral process, while the Election Commission has rejected claims that its decisions were taken without the approval of its members. The Opposition's proposed campaign is expected to begin with a series of rallies, including one at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, followed by programmes in different states. The INDIA bloc may also announce the date of its first major rally during the meeting. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are expected to represent Congress. Trinamool Congress leaders Mamata Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee, Kalyan Banerjee and Derek O'Brien are also expected to attend. Leaders of Left parties are likely to participate as well. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Hemant Soren, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, NCP's Supriya Sule, National Conference chief Omar Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti are among the other leaders expected to join the meeting. Shiv Sena(UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray is expected to participate virtually. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is not likely to attend the meeting, with senior party leader Harendra Malik set to represent the party.

Three children drown to death in village pond in Jharkhand's Jamtara
Digital Desk | Jamtara (Jharkhand), Sep 29 (IANS) Three young children drowned to death in a pond at Chegayadih village under Jamtara Sadar police station limits in Jharkhand on Tuesday, officials said. The children had gone to play together in the afternoon and later wandered towards a village pond located in the Chirkutola area. According to local residents, the children drowned in the pond while playing. Villagers rushed to the spot after learning about the incident and pulled them out of the water. However, all three had died by then. The deceased have been identified as five-year-old Aryan Ansari, around six-year-old Nasir Ansari, and around six-year-old Amar Sohel. Aryan Ansari was the son of Jasimuddin Ansari, Nasir of Tabarak Ansari, and Amar Sohel of Sajawuddin Ansari. All three children belonged to the same village. Police from Jamtara Sadar police station reached the site after they were informed of the tragic incident and conducted a preliminary inspection. They initiated the process of sending the bodies for postmortem examination. Police said an investigation is underway to ascertain the circumstances leading to the drowning. A pall of gloom has descended over Chegayadih village following the tragic incident. Grief-stricken family members were inconsolable as local residents gathered to offer their condolences and support. The tragedy is the latest in a series of drowning incidents reported across Jharkhand this month. At least 15 people have lost their lives in separate incidents in ponds, rivers, check dams and other water bodies this month only. On September 23, five people drowned in the Koel River during Karma Puja celebrations in Palamu, while a 16-year-old girl also died during the immersion of a Karam branch in Nani Jharia on the same day. Other recent drowning deaths in September have been reported from West Singhbhum, Dhanbad, Gumla and Godda districts.
CIL, HURL sign pact to explore syngas-based urea production in Jharkhand
State-owned CIL on Tuesday said that it has entered into a pact with Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Ltd to examine the feasibility of producing urea through syngas - produced from coal gasification - at Sindri in Jharkhand. The development assumes significance in the wake of the Centre's push to promote coal gasification and reduce dependence on imported natural gas and other feedstocks for fertiliser production. In a filing to BSE, the Maharatna firm said, Coal India Ltd (CIL) and Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited (HURL) have executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) on 29.09.2026 for exploring the development of a coal gasification-based urea production at Sindri, Jharkhand. Under this pact, initially the focus will be on examining the project's technical, commercial and execution modalities, besides preparing a preliminary feasibility report to assess its viability, the filing said. Coal gasification is considered a cleaner option compared to burning coal. ..

Centre sanctions Rs 1,200 crore to 10 states under PM Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 29 (IANS) Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday handed over financial sanction letters worth more than Rs 1,200 crore to agriculture ministers of 10 states under the Prime Minister Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (PM-RKVY). The disbursement included Rs 290 crore for West Bengal, Rs 198 crore for Haryana, Rs 181 crore for Chhattisgarh, Rs 154 crore for Arunachal Pradesh, Rs 114 crore for Bihar, Rs 104 crore for Karnataka, Rs 75 crore for Mizoram, Rs 64 crore for Himachal Pradesh, Rs 58 crore for Jharkhand and Rs 43 crore for Punjab. Chairing a meeting attended by Agriculture Ministers and senior officials from various states, Chouhan said the Union Government was not only limiting itself to policy formulation, but also ensuring timely availability of resources to states so that implementation of schemes could begin on the ground without delay. Highlighting the countrys agricultural performance, Chouhan said that since 2015, the agriculture growth rate has increased from 3 per cent to 4.5 per cent. The average annual increase in foodgrain production has also more than doubled, rising from around 40 lakh tonnes earlier to 84 lakh tonnes per year. He further noted that in just two years, from 2023-24 to 2025-26, rabi foodgrain production recorded an unprecedented increase of 205 lakh tonnes. Announcing a new mechanism to further strengthen cooperative federalism, Chouhan said that, on the lines of weekly reviews conducted at the Centre, regular monthly virtual review meetings with states would now be held to continuously assess progress. At the state level, a strong State Agriculture Team will be constituted by bringing together the Agriculture Minister, Agriculture Secretary, state agricultural universities, ICAR institutions, Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), ATMA and Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs). Monthly meetings will also be held at the district level. Emphasising the need to protect soil health and the environment, Chouhan called for a nationwide Khet Bachao Abhiyan from October 22 to November 30 this year. Scientists and all key stakeholders will actively participate in the campaign. Based on Soil Health Cards, the campaign will promote balanced use of fertilisers to protect soil fertility and beneficial insects. He also called for large-scale promotion of pulse cultivation in rice fallow areas of eastern India, particularly in Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal, after the paddy harvest. As part of preparations for the current rabi season, Chouhan stressed that recommendations on crops and improved seeds should be based on soil moisture and water availability. Stating that the availability of seeds and fertilisers in the country is adequate, Chouhan directed states to take strict legal action against fake fertilisers, spurious seeds and sub-standard pesticides. Chouhan said the government is pursuing a multi-dimensional strategy to ensure that farmers receive fair and remunerative prices for their produce. The strategy includes strengthening post-harvest management, scientific warehousing and marketing systems. He said that 100 per cent assured government procurement of tur, urad and masoor at MSP would be undertaken, with arrangements for payment within 48 hours. In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modis vision, he said India would also leverage the new market opportunities emerging from international Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) to connect Indian agricultural products, fruits, vegetables and foodgrains with global markets. This, he said, would help farmers secure better returns for their produce and enable India to emerge as a major food basket for the world.

Supreme Court Collegium Recommends Three High Court Chief Justices, None in Line to Be CJI
THE SUPREME COURT COLLEGIUM has recommended the elevation of three Chief Justices of High Courts as judges of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court Sunita Agarwal, Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court D.K. Upadhyaya, and Chief Justice of the Telangana High Court Aparesh Kumar Singh have been recommended for elevation as judges of the Supreme Court. The decision was taken by the Collegium comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Vikram Nath, B.V. Nagarathna, M.M. Sundresh and P.S. Narasimha. If the Union Government notifies these three appointments, the strength of the Supreme Court will rise to 37 judges, including the CJI. The Supreme Court will still have one clear vacancy. Justice Sunita Agarwal Justice Agarwal comes from the Allahabad High Court. She was born on April 30, 1966, and was appointed a judge of that High Court on November 21, 2011. She has been functioning as Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court since July 23, 2023. If appointed to the Supreme Court, she will retire on April 29, 2031. Justice D.K. Upadhyaya Justice Upadhyaya also comes from the Allahabad High Court. He was born on June 16, 1965, and was appointed a judge of the Allahabad High Court, along with Justice Agarwal, on November 21, 2011. He was appointed Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court on July 29, 2023, and was transferred from there as Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court on January 21, 2025. If appointed to the Supreme Court, he will retire on June 15, 2030. Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh Justice Singh comes from the Jharkhand High Court. He was born on July 7, 1965. He was appointed a judge of the Jharkhand High Court on January 24, 2012. He was appointed Chief Justice of the Tripura High Court on April 17, 2023, and was transferred as Chief Justice of the Telangana High Court on July 19, 2025. If appointed a judge of the Supreme Court, he will retire on July 6, 2030. None in line to become CJI None of the three would go on to become Chief Justice of India. With the appointment of Justice Agarwal, the Supreme Court will have three women judges, the others being Justice B.V. Nagarathna and Justice V. Mohana. Interestingly, Justice Shree Chandrashekhar, who was appointed to the Supreme Court on June 2, 2026, was junior to Justice Singh in inter se seniority, yet Justice Singh was superseded. Now, with Justice Singh being elevated later, he will become junior to Justice Chandrashekhar in the Supreme Court. No reasons are available for Justice Singhs supersession in June this year.

ER introduces tech at weighbridges to prevent accidents
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 28 (IANS) To ensure safe and efficient freight movement, Eastern Railway (ER) has begun introducing technology at weighbridges. Officials said this would help reduce derailments, prevent accidents, and protect tracks, calling it a significant technological leap forward in ensuring the safety and punctuality of freight train movements and maintaining uninterrupted supply chains across the network. As part of this ongoing modernisation drive, ER is installing advanced Wheel-wise Load Imbalance Detection Systems at strategic weighbridges. This technology is designed to detect deviations from safe load limits before service interruption, enabling proactive maintenance and preventing potential transit hazards, a senior official said. Under the system, sensors collect load data and send it to a central controller. Software then determines static and dynamic wheel loads, left-to-right load ratios and impact load factors to flag uneven loading, overloaded axles or flat spots. Real-time alerts are passed directly to officials, who can take corrective measures. The first Wheel-wise Load Imbalance Detection System on ER was successfully commissioned at the Pakur In-Motion Weigh Bridge recently. Initial trial results have been encouraging. The system will be made fully operational following final certification from the state government. Installation work for a similar weighbridge is underway at Kotalpukur. This forms part of ERs broader roadmap to extend the safety installation to other critical freight handling locations across the zone. Pakur, a major freight hub in Jharkhand, moves large quantities of coal from the West Bengal Power Development Corporation Ltd (WBPDCL) siding and Gati Shakti Terminal to power plants in West Bengal and Punjab. Pakur is also known for its stone quarries, with ER transporting large volumes of crushed stone chips, aggregates and track ballast in specialised wagons.
Jharkhand CM challenges PMLA court order in HC, plea's maintainability to be heard tomorrow
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 28 (IANS) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has challenged in the High Court an order of a Special PMLA court that refused to stay the process of framing charges against him in the money laundering case linked to the alleged land scam in Ranchi's Bargain circle. The maintainability of his criminal writ petition is scheduled to be heard on Tuesday, with the matter listed for hearing before a division bench of Chief Justice M.S. Sonak and Justice Manoj Prasad. Soren, in the petition, has challenged the Special PMLA court's decision declining his request to defer the framing of charges until the EDs investigation is completed. Earlier, Soren had approached the Special PMLA Court seeking a direction that no charges should be framed against him until the ED concluded its probe in the case. However, the court rejected the plea. After this, Soren moved the High Court. The case is related to the alleged illegal acquisition of 8.86 acres of disputed land in the state capital's Bargain area. It is alleged that forged documents were created for this purpose. During a recent hearing before the Special PMLA court, the Jharkhand CM appeared through video conferencing and requested additional time to examine documents related to the case. The court observed that the proceedings had reached the stage of framing charges and not document inspection. However, considering the Chief Minister's request, it fixed September 30 as the next date of hearing, when arguments on framing charges will continue from 11.15 a.m. in the PMLA court. The ED has already filed a charge sheet against Soren and around 18 other accused in the case. The Special PMLA Court has framed charges against 16 co-accused, including former revenue official Bhanu Pratap Prasad, architect Vinod Kumar Singh, Bipin Singh, Rajkumar Pahan, Afsar Ali and Mohammad Saddam Hussain. Moreover, the Jharkhand High Court recently upheld a lower court order dismissing Soren's discharge petition, thereby clearing the way for the framing of charges against him in the case.
