The Congress party has taken action against its leader Rahul Jaiswal by expelling him. However, the BJP takes no action against its leaders despite serious mistakes, Nayak told IANS on Tuesday. He cited the controversy involving BJP minister Vijay Shah over his derogatory remarks on Colonel Sofiya Qureshi during the Indian Army's 'Operation Sindoor' and alleged that the Madhya Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, had ignored strong observations made by the Madhya Pradesh High Court and the Supreme Court in the case against the leader.

MP: Railways start fencing 530-km track to prevent cattle accidents
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Nov 10 (IANS) In a move aimed at protecting livestock and improving railway safety, the West Central Railway's Bhopal Division is installing fencing along both sides of a 530-km railway stretch between Khandwa and Bina in Madhya Pradesh to prevent cattle from straying onto tracks. The initiative is intended to address two concerns the loss of livestock in train collisions, which can affect rural families, and the risk of accidents and disruption to train services, particularly with plans for operating trains at speeds of 130 kmph and above. Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Saurabh Kataria told IANS in a statement that, out of the proposed total 530-km fencing, work covering 74 km has been completed at a cost of around Rs 2.88 crore. The railway has set a target of completing the entire project by March 2027. The completed work includes 49 km on the Khandwa-Itarsi section, four km on the Itarsi-Bhopal section and 21 km on the Bhopal-Bina section. The division has also constructed four animal overpasses in the Budhni-Barkhera Ghat section to provide cattle with safe crossing routes. Three of these structures have been built on the up line and one on the middle line. The overpasses are designed to allow animals to cross the railway corridor without entering the tracks, reducing the possibility of collisions with trains. Cattle straying onto railway lines can result in animal deaths, financial losses for livestock owners and damage to railway property. Such incidents can also force trains to slow down or disrupt their movement, affecting passenger services. The Bhopal Division gives the highest priority to passenger safety and is committed to making railway operations safer through modern technology, improved infrastructure and effective safety measures, Kataria said. He shared that fencing and animal overpasses would help prevent cattle from entering railway tracks and reduce the possibility of accidents and interruptions to train operations. The project is being implemented under the guidance of Divisional Railway Manager Pankaj Tyagi. Once completed, the fencing will cover the entire Khandwa-Bina stretch, while the animal overpasses will provide designated crossing facilities in the Budhni-Barkhera Ghat section. The railway expects these measures to strengthen safety infrastructure, protect livestock and support more reliable train operations along the route.

Katni Collector Ashish Tiwari has constituted a four-member committee headed by Additional Collector Nilambar Mishra to investigate the cause of the fire, examine the circumstances leading to the tragedy and ascertain whether there was any negligence or lapse at any level. The committee has been directed to submit its report within 30 days. The panel comprises Vijay Dhareve, Sub-Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP), Vijayraghavgarh; Manish Parte, Chief Municipal Officer (CMO), Kaimore; and Jyoti Yadav, Assistant Engineer (Electrical Safety), Katni, according to an order issued on Monday night.

It will also assess the rescue and relief operations carried out by the police, revenue department and the fire services. The panel will record statements of eyewitnesses, affected persons and other relevant individuals and examine departmental records, documents and available evidence. It will specifically investigate whether any negligence or lapse occurred at any level and identify those responsible, if any.

Yadav said the government was also working to strengthen animal husbandry as an additional source of income for farmers. He noted that agriculture-dependent families often face losses due to excessive or inadequate rainfall, poor-quality seeds and other factors affecting crop production. He said cattle rearing, dairy farming, fish farming and goat rearing could provide rural households with additional livelihood opportunities. The Chief Minister said Madhya Pradesh aimed to move from its current third position to become the country's leading milk producer under the White Revolution 2.0 initiative. The government is registering milk producers through cooperative societies in villages to increase milk production and strengthen the rural economy. Under the Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Kamdhenu Yojana, the government is providing a 30 per cent subsidy of around Rs 13.86 lakh on a project cost of approximately Rs 42 lakh for setting up a dairy unit with 25 milch cows or buffaloes. Yadav also announced that animal fairs would be organised across the state to promote improved livestock breeds and familiarise farmers with modern animal husbandry practices. He said organic manure obtained from livestock improves soil fertility and reduces dependence on chemical fertilisers. The government is also promoting natural and organic farming to improve farmers' income and protect the environment.

12 killed in twin fire tragedies in MP on Diwali night; two families wiped out, probe underway
Digital Desk | Katni, Nov 9 (IANS) At least 12 members of two families, including a two-month-old infant, children and elderly persons, were killed in two separate fire incidents in Madhya Pradesh's Katni and Seoni districts on Diwali night, turning the festival of lights into a night of mourning for their families and neighbours. In the first incident, six members of an Agrawal family were killed after a massive fire broke out in a three-storey building housing a crockery shop on the ground floor in Barhi town of Katni district around midnight. The fire spread rapidly from the shop to the upper floors, where the family members were sleeping. Thick smoke and flames trapped them inside, leaving little opportunity to escape. The deceased were identified as Puran Agrawal (77), his wife Chandrakala (74), daughter-in-law Poonam (35), Arya (14), Anvi (6) and a two-month-old infant. Two other family members managed to escape in the initial moments. Rescue operations continued throughout the night. Puran Agrawal was pulled out around 4.30 a.m., while the remaining five bodies were recovered around 6.30 a.m. after rescuers broke a wall with the help of a JCB machine. The cause of the fire is not known at this stage. It is suspected that it could have been triggered by a diya or a short circuit, but the exact reason will be established only after an investigation, Sub-Divisional Officer of Police Virendra Narve said. Local residents alleged lapses in the firefighting response, claiming that the fire tender from Barhi reached with a damaged pipe, while the vehicle from Vijayraghavgarh also reportedly had a faulty pipe. Fire tenders from Kaimore and Katni Municipal Corporation later joined the operation and brought the blaze under control. In the second incident, six members of a family were killed when a fire broke out at the residence of bullion trader Kundan Soni in Mahavir Ward of Chhapara town in Seoni district around 3 a.m. The deceased were identified as Kundan Lal Soni (75), Rajkumari Soni (65), Ritu Soni (42), Smriti Soni (40), Surya Soni (45) and Aditya Soni (16). Four other family members, including two minors, were rescued and admitted to hospital. Ten people were present in the house when the fire broke out. SDOP Lakhnadon Apoorva Bhalavi said the family members were asleep when the blaze erupted, leaving them with little chance to escape. The causes of both fires are yet to be ascertained, and police are investigating the incidents. The twin tragedies have raised concerns over fire safety arrangements and emergency response during festivals.

J&K Draft Mountain Policy proposes new authority, law to act against violations
Srinagar, Nov 8:The draft Jammu and Kashmir Sustainable Mountain Development Policy 2026 proposes a dedicated authority empowered to inspect construction sites, impose fines, seal structures, and order restoration of damaged areas, along with a separate law to regulate development in the Union Territory's ecologically fragile mountain regions. The draft policy, dated October 12, proposes the creation of a J&K Mountain Development Council, headed by the Chief Minister, and a Mountain Development Authority to oversee implementation, coordinate government departments and enforce mountain-specific regulations. Emphasising the need for statutory backing, the document states: A policy without legal teeth becomes a document on a shelf. It further declares: This Policy shall move to law within one year. The proposed J&K Sustainable Mountain Development Act is envisaged within 12 months of the policy's approval. It would provide the legal framework for the proposed Authority, mountain sensitivity zones, Mountain Green Cess, Mountain Impact and Risk Screen, a dedicated fund and penalties for violations. Under the proposed governance structure, the Mountain Development Council would provide policy direction and resolve inter-departmental differences, while the Mountain Development Authority would function as the executive arm, translating policy decisions into regulations, permits and monitoring mechanisms. The Authority would also be responsible for notifying mountain sensitivity zones, determining carrying-capacity limits and implementing the proposed Mountain Building Code. A key provision of the draft is the establishment of a dedicated enforcement wing within the proposed Authority. The document proposes that the wing be vested with powers to inspect, fine, seal and order restoration. It envisages graded penalties, with higher fines for repeat violations, while the cost of restoring environmentally damaged areas would be recovered from those responsible. The draft also proposes satellite and drone-based monitoring of construction, road cutting, muck dumping and encroachments in Zones A and B. A public complaint application has also been proposed to enable citizens to report violations through photographs, with time-bound action on complaints. Seeking accountability within the government machinery, the policy states that officials granting permissions in violation of its provisions should face disciplinary action. The proposed enforcement mechanism is intended to strengthen surveillance and action against unauthorised construction, indiscriminate road cutting, dumping of excavated material and encroachments in ecologically sensitive mountain areas. The draft seeks to bring different government departments under a common implementation framework while allowing them to retain their respective responsibilities. The Policy shall set the direction; the concerned Departments shall define the rules, standards, targets and pathways for delivery, in consultation with each other and the designated Mountain Knowledge Centres, the document states. It proposes that each department prepare detailed guidelines and action plans within six months of the policy's notification. These plans would identify the activities requiring regulation, implementation responsibilities, targets, timelines and monitoring mechanisms. The departmental plans would be reviewed by the proposed J&K Mountain Development Authority under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary. The Tourism Department has been assigned responsibilities relating to visitor limits, the proposed J&K Mountain Pass, cess collection and regulation of adventure tourism. The Housing and Urban Development Department would be responsible for the proposed Mountain Building Code, hill-town master plans and hotel audits. The Public Works Department would oversee mountain infrastructure standards, including muck disposal and drainage compliance, while the Jal Shakti Department would handle water-resource protection, preparation of a proposed Spring Atlas and sewage treatment. The draft also assigns responsibilities to the Forest, Ecology and Environment Department, Disaster Management Department, Transport Department, Rural Development Department and other agencies. The policy proposes a non-lapsable J&K Mountain Green Fund to finance conservation, ecological restoration and other activities under the proposed framework. The fund is envisaged to receive money through the proposed green cess, trekking and expedition fees, penalties, contributions from government departments and Shrine Boards, corporate social responsibility initiatives and climate-related funding. A key provision states that cess collected at a particular destination should be spent at that destination and cannot be diverted elsewhere. The document also proposes publication of site-wise accounts on a public dashboard and annual audits to ensure transparency in the utilisation of funds. The proposed Authority would place an annual report on the condition of J&K's mountains before the Legislative Assembly. The report would cover targets, regulatory compliance, cess collections and expenditure, and disaster-related outcomes. The draft proposes establishing a J&K Mountain Knowledge Centre at the Faculty of Forestry and Environment, SKUAST-Kashmir. The proposed centre would undertake carrying-capacity studies, prepare mountain sensitivity maps and monitor glaciers, springs, biodiversity and land-use changes. It is envisaged as a technical and scientific support institution for evidence-based policymaking and implementation of the proposed mountain regulations. The Draft Jammu and Kashmir Sustainable Mountain Development Policy 2026 has been prepared by the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K) in collaboration with the Integrated Mountain Initiative (IMI), New Delhi. Prof. Nazir A. Ganai, Vice-Chancellor of SKUAST-Kashmir, is specifically named among the eight policy draft contributors listed in the document. The other contributors are Prof. A. H. Mughal, Dean, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, SKUAST-Kashmir; Dr. Rajan K. Kotru, Councillor, IMI and Lead Strategist, Redefined Sustainable Thinking; Prof. Akhlaq A. Wani, Head, Department of Natural Resource Management; Associate Professor Nazir A. Pala, Head, Department of Silviculture and Agro-forestry; Dr. Khursheed A. Dar, Professor of Sericulture; Dr. Aasif A. Gatoo, Assistant Professor, Department of Natural Resource Management; and Dr. Amir Farooq, Assistant Professor, Department of Wildlife Sciences. The document separately acknowledges the support and guidance of Dr Ashish Chandra Verma, IAS, Financial Commissioner (Additional Chief Secretary), Department of Agriculture Production and Farmers Welfare, Government of J&K, and Babila Rakwal, IAS, Commissioner/Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, for their support under the Jammu and Kashmir Agriculture Science Congress 2026. The draft was reviewed by institutions including the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education, G.B. Pant National Institute of Himalayan Environment, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Policy Research and International Studies, and SYSTEMIQ, London. The individual reviewers named in the document include Ashok Jain, former PCCF, Telangana; Brij Mohan Singh Rathore, former PCCF, Madhya Pradesh; and Dr. S. K.

Govt to develop Vanvasi Ram Lok, Ram Raja Lok: MP CM
Digital Desk | Chitrakoot, Nov 7 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh government will develop a grand Vanvasi Ram Lok in Chitrakoot and a Ram Raja Lok in Orchha on the lines of the Mahakal Lok in Ujjain to promote the state's rich religious and cultural heritage, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said on Saturday. Yadav announced during his visit to Chitrakoot in Satna district on the occasion of Diwali, where he offered prayers at the Kamta Nath temple and performed 'deepdaan' (offering of earthen lamps) on the banks of the sacred Mandakini River. Emphasising India's tradition of developing religious destinations as centres of pilgrimage, the chief minister said the approach towards such places was different from that of countries which develop destinations primarily for tourism. While several countries develop different destinations from the tourism perspective, India focuses on the comprehensive development of places of religious significance for pilgrimage. This is a distinctive feature of Indian culture, where visiting such places purifies one's thoughts and emotions, he said. He said the development of Chitrakoot was being undertaken with the same vision, highlighting its deep association with the life of Lord Ram. Lord Ram spent more than 11 years of his exile in Chitrakoot. It is his sacred land of penance, Yadav said. He said Madhya Pradesh had a special place in India's spiritual and historical heritage, as Lord Krishna acquired knowledge in Ujjain and Jagadguru Shankaracharya met his guru and attained knowledge at Omkareshwar. Earlier, Yadav laid the foundation stone for an 81.17-crore four-lane road project connecting Chitrakoot Dham with Gupt Godavari, saying it would facilitate the movement of pilgrims and tourists visiting the religious destination. He offered prayers at the Kamta Nath temple, distributed sweets among devotees and extended Diwali greetings. He also interacted with children selling earthen lamps along the roadside and purchased lamps from them. Yadav inspected a pontoon bridge constructed in the fair area for the convenience of devotees and reviewed arrangements at a health camp set up to provide emergency medical assistance to pilgrims. In an informal interaction with residents and devotees, the chief minister also stopped at a roadside tea stall, where he enjoyed tea served in an earthen cup and prepared tea himself. Minister of State for Urban Development and Housing Pratima Bagri, MP Ganesh Singh, Chitrakoot MLA Surendra Singh Gaharwar and senior administrative and police officials were among those present.
MP: Kamal Nath targets BJP govt over recurring problems in fertiliser distribution
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Nov 7 (IANS) Senior Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Saturday targeted the BJP government over recurring problems in fertiliser distribution, alleging that farmers continue to face long queues, server failures and difficulties with the e-token system despite the government's claims of adequate stock. In a statement posted on social media, Nath said farmers were being forced to struggle for fertilisers every year, with long queues outside warehouses, alleged black marketing and the supply of spurious fertilisers adding to their problems. He said the situation had remained unchanged even this year, despite the government's assurance of sufficient fertiliser availability. The BJP government in Madhya Pradesh deserves a gold medal for creating problems. The party has mastered the art of ruining every system, Nath said. He alleged that the e-token arrangement had once again run into technical difficulties due to server outages, poor internet connectivity and delays in receiving one-time passwords (OTPs). Referring to the earlier suspension of the e-token system following farmers' protests, Nath said the government had reintroduced it without adequate technological upgradation. He said farmers were already facing difficulties due to government policies and should not be made to deal with additional technical hurdles to obtain fertilisers. Farmers should not be made to struggle with technical problems. They are already distressed by the government's policies, the Congress leader said in the statement. Nath demanded that the state government ensure smooth and adequate distribution of fertilisers so that the issue did not turn into an annual agricultural crisis. The fertiliser distribution mechanism has remained a contentious issue in Madhya Pradesh, with farmers repeatedly complaining about long waiting periods and difficulties in obtaining supplies during the sowing season. The BJP government has maintained that adequate fertiliser stocks are available in the state.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 6 (IANS) Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday launched the Semicon 2.0 web application portal under the Semicon India Programme and announced the approval of 12 new applications under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), marking another push to strengthen India's semiconductor and electronics manufacturing capabilities. The launch follows the Union Cabinet's approval of Semicon 2.0 with a fiscal outlay of Rs 1.27 lakh crore under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). The next phase of the programme is focused on six strategic pillars, including chip design, semiconductor equipment and materials, fabrication units, ATMP/OSAT facilities, research and development, and talent development. With the launch of the portal, applications have gone live for Pillars 2, 3 and 4, which focus on machines and materials, new semiconductor fabrication facilities, and further strengthening of the assembly, testing, marking and packaging ecosystem. Highlighting the progress made under the first phase of the programme, the government said 12 semiconductor projects with cumulative investments exceeding Rs 1.64 lakh crore have been approved across six states, with five of them already commencing commercial production as of October 2026. The semiconductor ecosystem has also expanded through startup and academic participation. According to the government, 105 startups have received access to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, 24 startups have been supported through funding, while 15 startups have secured venture capital investments. In addition, 332 academic institutions have been provided EDA tools under the Chips to Startup (C2S) programme, helping train around 70,000 students. Alongside the Semicon 2.0 launch, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology approved 12 additional projects under ECMS involving projected investments of Rs 7,503 crore. The approved projects are expected to generate production worth Rs 39,045 crore and create 7,127 direct jobs. The latest approvals come after clearance of 106 applications involving investments of Rs 69,548 crore announced earlier under the scheme. The newly approved projects span components, supply chain products and capital goods. They include manufacturing of multilayer printed circuit boards, relays, heat sinks and specialty ceramics, as well as key supply-chain products such as copper foil, anode material, cathode active material, polypropylene film and camera rims. The projects are spread across Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, expanding the geographical footprint of India's electronics component manufacturing sector. The government said the approvals include first-time support under ECMS for copper foil, cathode active material and specialty ceramics, broadening the range of electronics components and upstream materials being produced domestically. Speaking at the event, Vaishnaw said India's electronics manufacturing industry has moved beyond basic assembly operations and is increasingly building capabilities across modules, components, materials and advanced technologies. He noted that the country is developing strengths in areas such as battery cells, copper foils, copper-clad laminates and advanced printed circuit boards, while government schemes are creating opportunities for MSMEs.

Garbage piles up in Bhopal as 15,000 civic workers continue strike
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Nov 6 (IANS) The state capital of Madhya Pradesh is facing a sanitation crisis on Dhanteras, the beginning of Diwali festivities, as around 15,000 Municipal Corporation employees remain on an indefinite strike, leaving garbage piled up on roads, markets and residential colonies. Garbage collection has been disrupted for the second consecutive day on Friday, with overflowing dustbins and waste scattered across several parts of the state capital. The situation has caused inconvenience to residents who had cleaned their houses ahead of Diwali but are unable to dispose of household waste. Residents in several colonies said they had been waiting for municipal garbage collection vehicles for nearly a week. With no vehicles arriving, waste has accumulated outside houses and on roads. In some localities, residents have reportedly started burning the garbage to clear their surroundings. Bhopal generates around 850 tonnes of garbage daily, with the volume increasing to nearly 1,000 tonnes during Diwali. However, the Municipal Corporation has not been able to maintain regular waste collection amid the strike. The agitation, which initially began with sanitation workers, has spread to employees of several other departments, including water supply, fire services, computer operations, electricity, building permissions, gardens and encroachment removal. Around 15,000 of the corporation's nearly 18,000 employees have joined the strike. They include approximately 14,000 daily-wage workers and 1,000 outsourced employees working across 21 zones and 85 wards. On Thursday, protesting employees disconnected the electricity supply to the Municipal Corporation headquarters, Atal Bhavan, and locked its main gate. They have also threatened to completely shut down the corporation's operations. The biggest concern is the possible disruption of the drinking water supply. Employees of the Water Works Department have threatened to stop the supply from Friday. Bhopal has more than 2.30 lakh tap connections, raising concerns over difficulties for residents during the festival. The employees are demanding a minimum monthly honorarium of Rs 25,000, salary revision, regularisation of services, government employee status, abolition of the contractual system and compassionate appointments. Municipal Corporation Chairman Kishan Suryavanshi appealed to the workers to suspend their strike during the festive season. Everyone across the country respects Swachhata Mitras. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself washed their feet. A proper decision on their demands will also be taken after deliberation, he said. Municipal Commissioner Ram Prakash Ahirwar said discussions between the Additional Chief Secretary of the Urban Administration Department and union representatives had been meaningful. However, the union leaders have refused to call off the strike without a concrete decision and want to speak directly with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. The strike has also affected sanitation services in other urban local bodies across Madhya Pradesh.

Digital Desk | Bhopal, Nov 6 (IANS) A Madhya Pradesh man who suffered a cardiac arrest in Dubai and remained in a coma for more than three weeks has been brought back to India in an air ambulance following coordinated efforts by the Centre and the state government. Gyanendra Tiwari, a resident of Anuppur district, was admitted to a hospital in Dubai after suffering a cardiac arrest on October 15. Tiwari's prolonged hospitalisation in a foreign country had left his family worried about his condition and arrangements for bringing him back to India for further treatment. After weeks of uncertainty, Tiwari was flown to India in an air ambulance and admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, where he is undergoing treatment under the supervision of doctors. A statement issued by the Madhya Pradesh government late Thursday said Chief Minister Mohan Yadav took the initiative to facilitate his return and contacted the Prime Minister's Office for necessary coordination. Necessary coordination was undertaken with the Prime Minister's Office on the initiative of the Chief Minister, the statement said. Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla and Shahdol MP Himadri Singh also made sustained efforts to ensure Tiwari's safe return and better medical treatment, it said. The statement said arrangements for transporting Tiwari from Dubai in an air ambulance were made following coordinated efforts at the government and administrative levels. He was subsequently taken to AIIMS Delhi for treatment. Gyanendra's return has brought relief to the family, which had been waiting anxiously for him to reach India amid concerns over his health and the difficulties involved in transporting a critically ill patient from another country. Tiwari's relative, Devendra Tiwari, said the family had remained worried about his return and thanked everyone who extended assistance in bringing him safely back to India. He expressed gratitude on behalf of the family to the Central and Madhya Pradesh governments, as well as the officials and public representatives who helped facilitate the arrangements.
