Indias coal production sees 42 pc growth at 22.03 million tonnes in October
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) The government on Monday said that coal production from captive and commercial mines stood at 22.03 million tonnes (MT) in October, increasing from 15.49 MT in October 2025, which is a 42 per cent annual growth. Coal dispatches reached 21.11 MT last month, increasing from 15.48 MT in October 2025 (36 per cent growth). The coal ministry said that the sector registered robust year-on-year growth, with coal production increasing from 105.33 MT to 117.23 MT at 11.30 per cent and dispatch increasing from 111.95 MT to 124.86 MT at 11.53 per cent compared to the period April to October of the previous year, reflecting sustained momentum in mining operations. In a further boost to the sector, the Lohari coal mine in Jharkhand obtained Mine Opening Permission in October 2026. The mine had been awaiting operationalisation for several years, and its approval reflects the impact of Ministry's Ease of Doing Business reforms. With this, the number of operational captive and commercial coal mines has risen to 87, said the ministry. The rising production from these mines is expected to reduce dependence on imported coal, strengthen supply-chain resilience, conserve valuable foreign exchange, and advance the Governments vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat by enhancing self-sufficiency in a critical raw material for industrial development. These encouraging results underscore improved operational efficiency, enhanced mining productivity, and more effective utilisation of mining capacities across the captive and commercial coal mining sector, said the ministry. Meanwhile, Indias coal imports declined 5.83 per cent year-on-year to 104.57 million tonnes (MT) in August 2026, compared to 111.05 MT in the corresponding month last year, amid efforts to boost domestic production and reduce dependence on overseas supplies. The countrys coal imports fell by 6.48 MT during the month, reflecting improved domestic coal availability and measures to strengthen the supply chain. The ministry will continue to focus on sustaining production growth, addressing supply constraints, improving coal availability through a combination of progressive policy interventions, robust regulatory oversight, and continued stakeholder support and ensuring a reliable contribution towards meeting the nations growing energy and industrial requirements.

Digital Desk | Ekta Nagar, Oct 31 (IANS) Anti-Naxal units from across the country showcased their role in operations against Left-wing extremism at the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas parade in Ekta Nagar on Saturday, while a subsequent National School of Drama production brought tribal artists from several formerly Maoist-affected states to the national stage. The parade, held to mark the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, featured specialised forces from Bihar, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Telangana and West Bengal, along with units of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Chhattisgarh Police. The contingents marched past the gathering as officials outlined their deployment areas, operations and personnel who had died in the line of duty. Among the units was Bihar Polices Special Task Force. The announcer said the force operated in 22 districts, including Gaya, Jamui and Lakhisarai, and had killed 167 Naxalites, arrested 7,191 and secured the surrender of 371. PM Modi and officials also paid tribute to 191 personnel who had died. The Sashastra Seema Bal contingent, led by Assistant Commandant Vipin Sharma, was credited with killing 16 Naxalites, arresting 1,382 and recovering 536 kg of explosives. Other contingents included Jharkhands Jaguar, Karnatakas Anti-Naxal Force, Kerala Polices Special Operations Group, Madhya Pradeshs Hawk Force and Odishas Special Operations Group.

Gujarat doctor duped of Rs 1.50 crore over 8 years; retired professor among three held from UP
Digital Desk | Surat, Oct 30 (IANS) Three persons, including a 64-year-old retired professor, have been arrested for allegedly cheating a senior citizen doctor of around Rs 1.50 crore over eight years by promising refunds on insurance policies, with the police tracing the accused to Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh using a single mobile number that had since been switched off. The Surat City Cyber Crime Cell said on Friday that the accused had posed as representatives of the Insurance Ombudsman and persuaded the complainant to purchase around 15 insurance policies in 2018. After gaining his trust, they allegedly contacted him over the last two to three years, claiming that the money invested in his policies could be refunded if he paid various charges. The complainant was allegedly made to transfer money in small instalments of Rs 10,000, Rs 15,000, Rs 25,000 and other amounts. Over the period from 2018 to 2026, he lost approximately Rs 1,50,33,004 (Rs 1.50 crore), police said. The complainant approached the cybercrime police around two to three months ago. Investigators examined the mobile numbers from which he had received calls and WhatsApp messages and conducted technical analysis of their call detail records. A team subsequently spent a week in Ghaziabad tracing the accused on the basis of a single calling number, which had become inactive. The arrested accused have been identified as Atulkumar Sharma (64), a retired professor who holds BSc and MBA degrees and had worked at IMT College; Mahesh Sharma (43), who has worked in vehicle loan arrangements, electricity meter reading and as a salesman for an Ayurvedic medicine company; and Sonu Thakur (32), a Class 12 pass-out who had previously worked as a telecaller at a call centre. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber Cell) Bishakha Jain, Atulkumar allegedly arranged SIM cards and bank accounts by approaching financially needy people on the pretext of helping them obtain gas connections. He got accounts opened in their names and retained the SIM cards, net banking credentials, passwords and bank kits before passing the SIM cards to Mahesh Sharma, she said. Mahesh allegedly forwarded the SIM cards and bank account details to Sonu Thakur, who used different mobile handsets to contact insurance policyholders and demand money on the pretext of processing refunds. Jain said, Sonu had worked in the call centre operations of insurance companies since 2018 and was familiar with the process of obtaining policyholder data. During searches, police recovered around 70 pages of printed Excel sheets containing insurance policyholders' details. The sheets had markings indicating which people had already been contacted and which were yet to be approached. The accused used these sheets to identify and call different victims. They would tell them that if they wanted their insurance policy money back, they would have to deposit a certain amount towards charges, Jain added. The money deposited by victims was withdrawn through the bank accounts arranged by Atulkumar. He allegedly retained 35 to 50 per cent of the withdrawn amount as commission and passed the rest to Mahesh, who kept another 15 to 20 per cent before transferring the remaining amount to Sonu. Police recovered nine mobile phones, 42 cheque books, 17 passbooks, 90 debit cards, 25 SIM cards of different companies, around 80 empty SIM card trays and Rs 28,740 in cash from Atulkumar. Two mobile phones were seized from Mahesh. From Sonu, police recovered three mobile phones, Rs 1.77 lakh in cash and 70 printouts containing policyholder details. Investigators also identified 47 bank accounts linked to Atulkumar on the basis of the cheque books and passbooks recovered from his residence. A check of these accounts on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) revealed 73 complaints registered across 15 states, involving alleged online fraud of approximately Rs 33.10 lakh. Telangana accounted for the highest number of complaints at 15, followed by Tamil Nadu with 14, Maharashtra with seven, Karnataka and Goa with six each, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan with five each, and Bihar with four. Gujarat accounted for three complaints, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh two each, while Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Tripura had one complaint each. The complaints could involve other cyber fraud groups as well, as such gangs were suspected of sharing policyholder data, DCP Bishakha Jain said. She said insurance policy frauds of this nature were frequently reported from Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad, where different groups allegedly exchanged data to target policyholders. The case has been registered under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 336(2), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, 2008. The police have advised insurance policyholders not to respond to unsolicited calls promising bonuses or refunds on policies and to verify such claims directly with the insurance company.

24th instalment of PM-KISAN scheme leaves farmers excited, express gratitude
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 30 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 24th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme on Friday, transferring more than Rs 18,680 crore directly into the bank accounts of more than 9.34 crore farmer families across the country from Bhildi in Gujarat's Banaskantha district. More than 9 crore farmers became the direct beneficiaries of the scheme, receiving monetary support of Rs 2,000 into their accounts, out of which 52.33 lakh farmer families received assistance exceeding Rs 1,051 crore in Gujarat alone. Gujarat Agriculture Minister Jitu Vaghani announced these figures while briefing the media, adding that the first 23 instalments of the scheme had resulted in the disbursement of more than Rs 4.47 lakh crore to over 11 crore farmer families across the country. After receiving the 24th instalment of the PM-KISAN in their accounts, farmers expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister and stated that this will strengthen their means of livelihood, besides enhancing their ability to experiment with advanced farming practices. Farmers in Ranchi, Jamnagar, Motihari, Jalna, Bhubaneswar, and Patna received the financial aid under the 24th instalment of the PM-KISAN scheme. The farming community, which benefited from the 24th instalment of the PM-KISAN scheme, thanked the government. In Bihars Motihari and East Champaran district, the farmers said that the 2,000 assistance would enable them to purchase seeds for both Rabi and Kharif crops. Another farmer remarked that this would be beneficial for their agricultural activities. Notably, East Champaran became one of the leading districts, where farmers received about 86 crore in financial aid, a sum larger than that received by any other single district. A farmer said that the PM-KISAN assistance provides substantial support to farmers during both the Rabi and Kharif cropping seasons. Patna farmers echoed similar sentiments, stating that the money received under the scheme remains extremely useful in purchasing fertilisers and seeds. A beneficiary thanked the government for removing the middlemen and directly transferring the benefits into their accounts. There is absolutely no role of intermediaries; all farmers get the requisite help for fertilisers and seeds directly from the government. The scheme, in operation since 2019, has proven highly beneficial to the farming community, said another farmer. Ramnath Thakur, Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, joining the event virtually from Ranchi (Jharkhand), said that the funds provide essential support for farmers, helping them tide over crises. A similar event was organised at the Patel Samaj Bhavan in Jamnagar, Gujarat, with a large number of farmers in attendance. Heaping praise on the scheme, they counted the benefits of the scheme and explained how this reduced their dependence on others to procure fertilisers and seeds. One farmer, practising natural farming for the past 15 years, noted that he also got several benefits from his organic farming and was now encouraging others to adopt it. In Bhubaneswar, Odisha, farmers said that this helped them in times of exigency, helping them mitigate financial crunch during sowing of seeds and tilling of land. In Maharashtras Jalna, farmers said that this was proving to be of great help to them as they often use this money to buy seeds and fertilisers.
Farmers welcome 24th PM-KISAN instalment, say assistance will help buy seeds, reduce debt
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS) Farmers across the country welcomed the release of the 24th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme on Friday, saying the financial assistance would help them purchase seeds and fertilisers, support agricultural activities and reduce their dependence on loans. Prime Minister Narendra Modi released more than Rs 18,680 crore to over 9.34 crore farmer families across the country from Bhildi in Gujarat's Banaskantha district. The instalment was released as part of the national-level PM Kisan Utsav Diwas, organised under the Prime Minister's leadership. Farmers said the direct financial assistance was particularly useful during the sowing season, when agricultural households need funds to purchase essential inputs and manage other expenses. A farmer who has been practising natural farming for 15 years said the scheme's assistance helped him purchase seeds, while government support had also encouraged him to continue with sustainable agricultural practices. The financial assistance being distributed under this scheme today also helps us with purchasing seeds for sowing. Natural farming has also brought us many benefits through government support, he said. The farmer added that he had been growing vegetables for the past eight years and was receiving good prices for his produce, with local consumers increasingly supporting his efforts. Another farmer, speaking to reporters at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Kharpudi, said he had watched the programme live at the centre and received a message confirming the transfer of Rs 2,000 shortly after it concluded. He said the assistance was particularly significant given the drought conditions facing Maharashtra, where farmers often have to contend with uncertainty over agricultural output and income. Speaking to IANS, farmer Shashi Bhushan Pathak said the assistance would provide farmers with some financial security and ease the pressure of meeting household expenses. Farmers will be able to work without pressure now. Earlier, we had to take debt to be able to feed ourselves. Now we are secure, he said. Pathak said the scheme was beneficial for those receiving the money, as the funds could help ease their financial burden and reduce outstanding debt. He also thanked the Prime Minister for the initiative, while noting that some farmers continued to face difficulties in receiving their dues. In Jharkhand, farmer Shyam Kumar said the financial assistance could be used for several agricultural requirements, including purchasing seeds for growing foodgrains and buying fertilisers. We have immense benefits from the PM's scheme. The money we will get now can be used for multiple aspects, including buying seeds for the production of grains and fertilisers. This is a big financial help from the PM, he said. Kumar also welcomed the reported extension of the scheme until 2031 and urged the government to introduce more initiatives that could provide long-term benefits to farmers. Another farmer from Jharkhand, Baidyanath, expressed satisfaction with the continuation of the scheme, saying that sustained financial assistance would help farmers maintain agricultural activities, including seed production. The latest instalment adds to the cumulative assistance provided under PM-KISAN since its launch. According to figures cited by Gujarat Minister Jitu Vaghani, the first 23 instalments had resulted in the disbursement of more than Rs 4.47 lakh crore to over 11 crore farmer families across the country. The scheme provides eligible farming families with direct financial assistance, intended to help meet agricultural and household expenses. Farmers' responses highlighted its role in providing immediate liquidity, particularly for those who struggle to access formal credit or manage rising cultivation costs.
