NHAI toll plaza collection fraud: Enforcement Directorate raids businessmans house, office in Jammu
Jammu, Sep 2: Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday raided the residence and office of a prominent businessman in Jammu as part of searches conducted at around 14 locations across the country under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), in connection with an alleged toll collection fraud at National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plazas. Besides Jammu, simultaneous searches were conducted at different locations in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi-NCR and West Bengal. ED action, reportedly, was in cognizance of two FIRs registered with Police alleging use of unauthorised software applications for toll receipts generation and diverting collected money outside the official accounting mechanism. Though till late evening, ED did not issue any official statement on this account yet sources mentioned that as part of countrywide raids, ED sleuths, joined by central forces, searched the businessmans residence located at Green Belt, Gandhi Nagar and his office premises at Trikuta Nagar on Wednesday September 2, 2026), morning. During the raids, which began at around 9 am or so, the entry and exit points to both the places remained sealed. The ED officials analysed all available records with an objective of recovering digital and documentary evidence to trace the proceeds of crime and identify all beneficiaries. Reports suggested that the forensic examination and the NHAI records corroborated use of such unauthorised software. Sources pointed out that the ED officials were exhaustively analysing documentary, digital evidence and complex web of financial flows across several states, to reach to the bottom of the fraud. Legal proceedings by the ED and NHAI to follow with the progress in investigation to unravel this fraudulent scheme of operations, sources pointed out.
South Asias political landscape presents one of the most compelling narratives in contemporary democratic governance. Historically, the subcontinent stood at the forefront of female executive leadership, producing Sri Lankas Sirimavo Bandaranaikethe worlds first female prime minister in 1960 alongside iconic heads of government including Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Sheikh Hasina, and Khaleda Zia. Today, as regional democracies actively strive toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG-5) for gender equality, a profound democratic transition is unfolding from the grassroots upward. This evolving landscape demonstrates that women are decisively moving beyond passive voting toward becoming central architects of governance, even as key institutional and socio-cultural barriers remain to be addressed. The foundation of this democratic expansion was laid through Indias landmark 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments in 1993, which mandated a minimum 33.3% reservation for women across rural Panchayati Raj Institutions and urban local bodies. Over the subsequent decades, more than twenty Indian states including Bihar, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal progressively elevated this threshold to a 50% reservation. Today, nearly 1.4 million women hold elected office in Panchayats across India. Ground-breaking empirical research by Nobel laureate Esther Duflo and Raghabendra Chattopadhyay confirms that female local leaders systematically steer public spending toward vital community priorities, particularly clean drinking water, sanitation, fuel access, and rural road connectivity. Moreover, continuous exposure to female leadership has actively dismantled entrenched societal stereotypes, while significantly elevating the educational and professional aspirations of adolescent girls in rural communities. At the ballot box, female engagement has shattered historic records. In Indias 2024 general elections, the traditional gender turnout gap was inverted, with female voter turnout reaching an unprecedented 65.8%, marginally surpassing male turnout at 65.6%. In states such as West Bengal, female turnout reached 83.33%. Women have emerged as an autonomous, decisive voting constituency, prompting state governments to introduce programmatic welfare initiatives, including direct benefit transfers, educational stipends, and subsidized cooking gas. Complementing this electoral mobilization, Indias enactment of the historic Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam (Womens Reservation Act) mandating 33% representation in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assembliesmarks a transformative institutional step toward scaling grassroots democratic representation into national parliamentary chambers. Across the wider South Asian neighbourhood, positive milestones coexist with valuable institutional lessons. Nepal leads the region in parliamentary representation, with women holding 34.9% of seats in its Lower House and 38.6% in its Upper House due to progressive constitutional mandates. This positions Nepal as the only country in the region currently crossing Drude Dahlerups classic 30% critical mass threshold - the proportion theorised as necessary for women legislators to move past tokenism and exert collective policy influence. Crucially, empirical research by PRS Legislative Research robustly refutes the traditional myth regarding female winnability. In contested general elections, female candidates achieve win rates equivalent to or exceeding those of their male counterparts, while demonstrating identical diligence in parliamentary attendance and debate. Nevertheless, translating descriptive presence into substantive policy influence presents distinct operational hurdles. At the local level, newly elected representatives frequently encounter administrative and resource deficits. A large number of female Panchayat members receive limited formal training in budgetary allocation and bureaucratic procedures, while roughly half of rural administrative units lack adequate office facilities and digital connectivity. In the absence of institutional capacity-building, female leaders can face administrative sidelining or the challenge of proxy governance, wherein male relatives attempt to mediate council decisions. Similarly, in systems relying on indirect party-list quotas, such as in Bangladesh & Pakistan, female legislators often lack independent popular constituencies, leaving their legislative autonomy constrained by party hierarchies. Furthermore, the rising financial demands of electoral campaigning and the emergence of Violence Against Women in Politics (VAWP) remain serious deterrents. UN Women reports that 81.8% of surveyed female parliamentarians in the Asia-Pacific region experienced psychological harassment, while 44.4% faced explicit physical threats. In the digital sphere, cyber-VAWPranging from coordinated smear campaigns to weaponized artificial intelligence deepfakes poses an escalating threat to female public figures. Bridging the gap between electoral participation and substantive empowerment requires concerted structural support. Strengthening internal democracy and campaign financing within political parties, enforcing strict legal protections against physical and digital harassment, and institutionalising continuous governance academies for local representatives are essential steps forward. By reinforcing these institutional foundations, South Asia can harness its surging female electorate to foster enduring democratic leadership and fully achieve the promise of SDG-5. These are excerpts from a paper presented on 18 August 2026 at a National Conference on Gender Equality in the 21st Century: Perspectives and Pathways to SDG-5 held at Govt. Degree College for Women, M.A. Road Srinagar.

Voices, Not Victory: The Struggle for Youth Power
PROF. (DR) SUNIL GOYAL Indias youth policies have entered a new phase. The emphasis is no longer confined to enrolment in schools, recruitment into training programmes or participation in sporting events. The larger ambition is to create young citizens who can lead, innovate and shape the countrys future. This is essential for the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047, but it will succeed only if participation is transformed into genuine power. The figures suggest considerable progress. More than 50 lakh young people took part in the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026 quiz, leading to the identification of 6,000 youth leaders for a district-level database. The My Bharat platform has registered over 2.22 crore young people, while the National Service Scheme grew from 34.09 lakh volunteers in 201415 to 38.90 lakh in 202526. These developments point to a growing culture of civic engagement. However, participation should not become a numbers game. A youth platform is meaningful only when young people can influence decisions, monitor public programmes and see their ideas implemented. A quiz, a volunteering certificate or a short-term internship can generate enthusiasm, but leadership requires sustained responsibility and institutional access. Young citizens must be involved in local planning, municipal initiatives, school management, environmental action and public accountability. Digital platforms can help build this bridge. The Academic Bank of Credits, the National Credit Framework, SWAYAM and DIKSHA are expanding flexible and technology-enabled learning. More than 35.27 crore APAAR IDs had reportedly been issued by August 2026, while SWAYAM had recorded over 6.5 crore enrolments. These systems can make education more portable and accessible, especially for learners who cannot follow a conventional academic path. Yet digitisation also carries risks. Access to a platform does not mean equal access to learning. Poor connectivity, limited devices, language barriers and inadequate digital literacy can exclude precisely those students who need public support the most. Every digital reform must therefore be accompanied by investment in teachers, community facilities, accessible content and offline alternatives. Employment is another crucial measure of empowerment. The unemployment rate cited in the government backgrounder fell from 7.71 per cent in 2014 to 4.2 per cent in 2025. Skill programmes, apprenticeships and the Prime Ministers Internship Scheme are intended to improve employability. The internship scheme alone provided 1,64,902 opportunities across 31 sectors by August 12, 2026. But employment statistics must be read alongside job quality, informality, wages and security. A young person cannot be considered empowered if work is temporary, underpaid and disconnected from a viable career. Entrepreneurship offers an alternative route, with recognised start-ups rising to more than 2.47 lakh. But the start-up narrative should not obscure the needs of millions who seek ordinary employment. Economic policy must support both innovation-driven enterprises and labour-intensive sectors capable of creating large numbers of stable jobs. The same principle applies to sports and health. Khelo India has supported athletes, academies and infrastructure, while adolescent-friendly clinics and Tele-MANAS have expanded health and mental-health services. These are valuable investments, but they must reach smaller towns, villages and vulnerable communities. Mental health, substance-use prevention and physical fitness should be treated as essential public services, not optional additions. The true measure of youth empowerment is not how many young people are registered, trained or invited to participate. It is whether they possess the capabilities, confidence and institutional voice to shape their own lives and the country around them. Indias young citizens should not merely be mobilised for national goals; they must be trusted with a meaningful role in defining those goals.

From Not Knowing What Shooting Was To Asian Games: Manisha Keers Journey
Madhya Pradesh State Shooting Academy: Indian trap shooter Manisha Keer is preparing for another major international challenge, but her journey to representing the country began with an unlikely discovery. Growing up in a modest family in a village near Bhopal, Manisha knew little about shooting until her elder sister introduced her to the sport that would eventually shape her career. I didnt even know what shooting was. I only knew cricket, volleyball and football. I didnt even know about shooting and I didnt even think about it, Manisha recalled. Her elder sister Sona, herself a sportsperson, played a key role in introducing her to shooting. But pursuing the sport presented challenges from the outset, particularly for a family with limited financial resources. My family was not that capable to support me. They couldnt give me everything that I wanted. It was very difficult for me, she said. The financial demands of shooting became even more apparent when Manisha began travelling for competitions. Still only 18, she had to learn how to manage with limited resources while continuing her pursuit of the sport. When I used to go out for competitions, I had to face a lot of challenges. I couldnt eat what I wanted to eat. I had to save some money, she recollected. Her initial years at the Madhya Pradesh State Shooting Academy also required her to adapt quickly. With no regular coach available during the early phase, Manisha learned by making use of the support and facilities around her, with her sister providing important guidance. In the academy, whatever was there was enough for us. I mean, you have to do what you have, Manisha said. That approach became central to her development. From learning a sport she had barely heard of, Manisha gradually progressed through the ranks and made her mark internationally, winning a junior World Championship silver medal in trap in 2018 and an Asian Games silver medal as part of India's women's trap team. The struggles of her early years also taught her to become more independent. No one can be together all the time. We have to take care of ourselves too. That was also a learning point, she reflected. Looking back at the journey, Manisha believes her growth came from learning to work with whatever resources were available to her. I learned from whatever I had, and thats how I grew up, she said. As her career progressed, Manisha also found increasing institutional support through the National Rifle Association of India, which provided opportunities to train, compete and represent the country. I learned from whatever I had, and thats how I grew up, she said.

Bihar, Jharkhand sign Sone water-sharing agreement in presence of Home Minister Amit Shah
New Delhi, Aug 31: In the presence of Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, an MoU was signed between Bihar and Jharkhand on the sharing of Sone River water. Chief Minister of Jharkhand Hemant Soren, Chief Minister of Bihar Samrat Choudhary, Union Minister for Jal Shakti C.R. Patil, the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, the Union Home Secretary, and senior officials from the Government of India and both states were present on this occasion. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that todays agreement between Bihar and Jharkhand has resolved a long-awaited water dispute in eastern India. He said that this agreement will provide irrigation water to lakhs of farmers in large rural areas of Bihar and Jharkhand, along with drinking water for the people. Amit Shah stated that the agreement reached today regarding the sharing of the Sone River's waters is an excellent example of the 'Team Bharat' vision and cooperative federalism championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that while all states possess their own distinct identities, if they move forward as 'Team Bharat' within the national context, there is no problem which cannot be resolved. Shri Shah added that this marks the fourth water agreement between states this year, which will enhance water availability for irrigation, rural development, and drinking purposes. Union Home Minister said that the agreement reached today to resolve the nearly 25-year-old water dispute between Bihar and Jharkhand exemplifies that any problem can be solved through dialogue conducted with the spirit of cooperative federalism. He said that issues concerning vast geographical areas, farmers, rural regions, and drinking water supplies in both states have been permanently resolved today. Amit Shah said that today's agreement would ensure the availability of adequate water for drinking and irrigation to a large population across the districts of Bhojpur, Buxar, Rohtas, Kaimur, Aurangabad, Arwal, Gaya, and Patna in Bihar. Moreover, water would become available for irrigation and drinking purposes in the Palamu, Garhwa, and other regions of Jharkhand. Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary expressed their gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for resolving the issue of Sone River water sharing. On the initiative of Home Minister Amit Shah, long-pending water disputes between various states that had been unresolved for several decades are being resolved through the Inter-State Council, so far this year, four historic agreements have been reached. On July 7, 2026, a historic agreement regarding the settlement of outstanding payments was signed among the 'Narmada Award' beneficiary states Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh in the presence of the Union Home Minister. This agreement marks a milestone in resolving long-standing disputes among these states concerning cost-sharing for the construction of the Sardar Sarovar Project, with the outstanding dues being resolved through a one-time settlement. On June 29, 2026, a significant agreement was signed between the governments of Rajasthan and Haryana regarding the construction and implementation of the Yamuna Water Project. Under this agreement, approximately 580 MCM of water will be conveyed from the Yamuna Canal to Rajasthan via three underground pipelines. The project aims to deliver Rajasthan's share of Yamuna water from the Western Yamuna Canal through these underground pipelines. This will enable Rajasthan to effectively utilize the water allocated to it under the 1994 agreement regarding the sharing of usable surface water in the Upper Yamuna Basin. The project will ensure a continuous supply of drinking water to the arid and low-rainfall regions of Rajasthan and foster socio-economic development, thereby benefiting millions of people. On June 16, 2026, a consensus was reached among the concerned states regarding the long-pending Kishau Multipurpose Dam Project during a crucial meeting held in New Delhi under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah. During the meeting, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the implementation of the Kishau Multipurpose Project. Regarding the project, the Central Government will provide 90% of the funding for the water component as central assistance, while the six states will bear the financial burden of the remaining 10%. An agreement was reached to allocate the water assigned to Himachal Pradesh to Delhi and Rajasthan in exchange for sharing the cost of the project's power component.
