Rs 25,000 crore allocated for tribal development: Maha CM
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 1 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday said the state government has allocated Rs 25,000 crore for tribal development through the Sansadiya Sankul Vikas Pariyojana, adding that the government will implement action plans under the initiative. Chief Minister Fadnavis was speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the Sansadiya Sankul Vikas Pariyojana. He said the initiative would help bring about social transformation in tribal areas by creating employment opportunities in villages, preventing migration, and improving the quality of life for people in these areas. The Chief Minister said the initiative's main objectives are to develop tribal areas, improve citizens' quality of life, generate employment, and prevent migration. He said it is necessary to converge Central and State government schemes for tribal areas and adopt an integrated approach by developing village clusters instead of focusing on individual villages. The initiative will include programmes aimed at bringing about tangible improvements in the lives of citizens. The concept was introduced five to six years ago and is now being implemented. Reports indicate that the initiative has yielded encouraging results in Nandurbar district, with substantial benefits to the agriculture sector. This, in turn, is improving people's quality of life. Chief Minister Fadnavis noted that two schemes formulated by the Central government for tribal areas are accelerating development in these regions. He said the desired results can be achieved through effective implementation of schemes in education, healthcare and employment. Chief Minister Fadnavis also emphasised the need to ensure that the benefits of these schemes reach the actual beneficiaries and that effective monitoring of their implementation continues. Tribal Development Minister Ashok Uike, former Union Minister of State Bharati Pawar, MLAs Ravindra Chavan and Yogesh Sagar, Gajanan Dange of the implementing organisation, Sansadiya Sankul Pariyojana Coordinator V. Satish and others were present on the occasion.

Football: Mumbai City confirm return of Farukh Choudhary for upcoming season
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 1 (IANS) Mumbai City have confirmed the return of Farukh Choudhary to the club, with the attacker signing a deal that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2026-27 season. Born in Ambarnath, Maharashtra, Choudhary is no stranger to the Islanders, having previously made six appearances for the club during the 2020-21 Indian Super League season. Since then, he has gone on to represent Jamshedpur FC and Chennaiyin FC, making 126 Indian Super League appearances and registering seven goals and 10 assists across his career. Choudhary has also represented the Indian National Team, earned 24 caps and scored three goals for the Blue Tigers. Farukh Choudhary, an attacker at Mumbai City, said, Coming back to Mumbai City means a lot to me. I have had some really good memories here, and I am happy to be back with the club. I am looking forward to the new season, working hard with the team and giving my best on the pitch. We have a strong squad and big ambitions, and I want to contribute as much as I can and help the team achieve its goals. Earlier, Mumbai City had confirmed the arrival of Lazar irkovi, the Serbian joining the Islanders on a one-year deal, until the end of the 2026/27 season. Born in Ni, Lazar began his football journey with the Serbian SuperLiga club Rad in 2010. During his time there, he also gained valuable experience on loan at the Serbian League club Pali. In 2014, Lazar joined Serbian giants Partizan, making his official debut for the club in a UEFA Europa League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur. During his four-year spell with Partizan, he won two Serbian SuperLiga titles and one Serbian Cup before going on to represent Luzern in Switzerland, Maccabi Netanya in Israel, and Kisvrda and Honvd in Hungary. Lazar then moved to India, where he joined fellow Indian Super League side Chennaiyin FC. In his debut season, he played a crucial role in helping the club secure a place in the playoffs, earning a move to Jamshedpur FC the following season. He continued to deliver consistent performances for the Men of Steel, helping them reach the semi-finals. At international level, Lazar made his competitive debut for the Serbia Under-21s in 2013, featuring in a home victory over Northern Ireland. He represented the side intermittently until 2015 and was also part of Serbias squad for the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
Maha Dy CM urges simple Navratri celebrations, appeals for aid to drought-hit farmers
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 1 (IANS) Against the backdrop of the severe drought-like situation prevailing across 265 talukas in Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Thursday appealed to the public to celebrate the upcoming Navratri festival and other religious and cultural events with utmost simplicity to stand firmly by the farmers, the nations providers. He also urged Shiv Sena office-bearers, public festival committees (Ganesh and Navratri mandals), and citizens to contribute the funds saved from festival expenditure directly as relief to drought-affected farmers. Forego lavish festival celebrations this season and reallocate event funds towards the relief and rehabilitation of drought-affected farmers across Maharashtra, he said in a post on X. This year, due to failed rains in Vidarbha, Marathwada and other parts of the state, a shadow of drought has spread across most regions. With natures fury ruining standing crops, thousands of farmers are left devastated. Speaking on this critical situation, Deputy Chief Minister Shinde reiterated his stance, stating that our Baliraja (farmers) have the primary right over the state treasury. He emphasised that during such times of crisis, the Mahayuti government and the Shiv Sena stand resolutely behind farmers with full strength. While official government-level relief measures are actively underway, he noted that it is equally vital for everyone to step forward as a society and contribute during this hour of need. He said celebrating upcoming festivals with grandeur and fanfare while farmers are in distress and anxiety would be inappropriate. Therefore, public committees, Shiv Sena office-bearers, social organisations, and citizens should observe festivals. Instead of lavish expenditure on celebrations, the saved funds should be redirected towards direct relief and rehabilitation for drought-affected farmers. Deputy Chief Minister Shinde expressed confidence that if everyone comes to the aid of food providers during their time of crisis, overcoming this natural disaster would be well within reach. He noted that if saving festival costs allows society to wipe away the tears of even a single farmer and bring a smile to that persons face, it would truly be genuine service to Goddess Jagadamba. Reaffirming the Mahayuti administrations commitment to the farming sector, Deputy Chief Minister Shinde said the government has prioritized mobilizing resources. However, he called for a broader collective effort to support farmers battling agrarian distress. The first claim on the treasury of this state belongs to our farmers, he said, adding that when farmers are battling the dire circumstances of drought, it is a collective moral and social responsibility to stand firmly by their side. He further said it would not be appropriate to celebrate upcoming religious or cultural festivals with great pomp and show while farmers remain gripped by anxiety. With dry spells affecting multiple districts, the state government is actively deploying relief measures. Deputy Chief Minister Shinde said unified public participation, alongside government assistance, would help the state overcome this natural adversity and restore long-term security to rural Maharashtra.

MP govt must plug gaps in land rights, tribal welfare: LoP Rahul Gandhi during Balaghat visit
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 1 (IANS) Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday put the spotlight on gaps in healthcare, education, welfare delivery and land rights in Madhya Pradesh's tribal belt during his visit to Balaghat, where he met families who lost their children amid reports of illness and malnutrition and urged the government to plug the leaks. LoP Rahul Gandhi's visit to Jagla village in Birsa block came against the backdrop of a dispute over the number of deaths among tribal children. While the Madhya Pradesh administration has acknowledged 32 deaths, the Congress has claimed that the real figure is 43. After meeting the Baiga families, LoP Gandhi said the issue was not limited to the deaths of the children but reflected wider problems concerning access to basic services and implementation of government schemes in Madhya Pradesh. There are issues regarding land, rural employment scheme and land rights. Many children have died, yet their families have not even received proper compensation. Half of the people have not received compensation, LoP Gandhi told reporters. He demanded that the Chief Minister Mohan Yadav government ensure that tribal families receive benefits guaranteed to them under existing laws and schemes, particularly land rights under the Forest Rights Act. At the very least, they should be granted their rights under the Forest Rights Act and receive their land titles. Provide education and hospitals here, LoP Gandhi said. LoP Gandhi also questioned the condition of healthcare and educational infrastructure in the area, saying the claims of development needed to be matched by delivery of basic services to people living in remote tribal villages. The Congress leader also raised the issue of welfare benefits, alleging that tribal beneficiaries receiving assistance under one government scheme were being denied benefits under the Ladli Behna Yojana. He said such benefits were the entitlement of eligible beneficiaries and urged the government to ensure that welfare schemes were implemented without depriving people of their rights. LoP Gandhi also criticised the renaming of MGNREGA, saying the government should focus on making the employment guarantee scheme functional rather than merely changing its name. It appears as though they have been abandoned in the heart of India, with neither the Central government nor the Madhya Pradesh government seemingly present, he said. The Congress leader said he was shocked by the condition of the tribal families and claimed that the government had failed to provide them adequate support. LoP Gandhi also reiterated the Congress' use of the term 'Adivasi' for tribal communities, saying it referred to the original inhabitants of India, while alleging that the BJP and RSS use the term 'Vanvasis'. LoP Gandhi reached Balaghat by road from Maharashtra's Birsi Airport and stopped at a Government Primary School on the way to Jagla. He spent around 15 minutes interacting with students and enquired about the Mid-Day Meal served to the schoolchildren. Around 1,500 people from nearby villages gathered at Jagla to meet him, according to Congress leaders.

Maha govt announces major loan relief, expanded drought coverage for farmers
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 1 (IANS) Facing a severe drought triggered by persistent rainfall deficits and heightened El Nio threats, the Maharashtra government, led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Thursday announced a sweeping relief package for the state's distressed farming community. In a landmark decision, the government issued an order, staying all agricultural loan recoveries across drought-hit regions. To ease immediate financial strain, banks have been directed to restructure existing crop loans -- setting a strict deadline of April 30, 2027, to complete the process -- while ensuring fresh crop credit remains fully accessible for the upcoming Kharif season. Revenue Minister and Drought Relief Sub-Committee Chairman Chandrashekhar Bawankule issued a stern directive to local administrations, instructing District Collectors and police authorities to prevent any bank or credit society representatives from approaching farmers for recovery during this crisis. Following strong pushback from ministers and ruling alliance MLAs over excluded pockets, the cabinet added 43 new talukas to the drought list. Over 305 talukas -- encompassing nearly 75 per cent of the state -- are now covered under 'Trigger-1' drought mitigation measures. Examination fees for Class 10 and Class 12 students in all designated drought-affected regions have also been waived. To prevent distress migration and secure rural livelihoods, the Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS) department has unlocked Rs 6,728 crore. The funds will drive local employment across various projects, including irrigation works, cattle sheds, orchard plantations, borewell recharge units, bamboo cultivation, and public lake repairs. With drinking water shortages intensifying and crop yields severely impacted, the administration has placed water management and rural employment at the forefront of its emergency strategy. To support farmers, agricultural labourers, and affected rural populations, the state government has extended a 12-point relief and concessions package for the designated 265 talukas. The government has announced full waiver of land revenue for affected farmers, restructuring of existing agricultural loans, immediate stay on the recovery of all agriculture-related bank loans, exemption/concessions on current electricity bills for agricultural pumps above 7.5 HP capacity (up to 7.5 HP is already waived), waiver of examination fees for school and college students in the affected zones, relaxation of work norm criteria under the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (erstwhile Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) to maximise employment generation and deployment of water tankers wherever drinking water shortages occur. Further, the government has issued strict orders preventing the disconnection of agricultural pump power supplies in declared 'scarcity villages'. It has ordered the implementation of targeted distribution systems to prevent foodgrain shortages for farmers and daily-wage agricultural workers, measures to ensure adequate supply and availability of fodder for cattle, immediate rollout of water conservation works in the affected belts and comprehensive planning for drinking and livestock water resources in accordance with government directives.

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).
