Only 15 of 55 Maharashtra sugar mills begin crushing amid farmers' protest
Amid the ongoing protest by sugarcane growers, only 15 of 55 sugar mills in Maharashtra have begun crushing in the 2026-27 season, while Karnataka has yet to begin, even as the government has set up a committee to address the farmers' grievances, according to sources on Thursday. In Maharashtra, 40 mills have performed the customary puja that precedes the crushing season starting in October, but have not begun full-fledged operations because of the agitation, sources said. Fifteen mills started operations from October 8 onwards. The sugar produced from these 15 mills is expected to cool down sugar prices, a source said. In Karnataka, not a single mill is operating now because of the protest, the sources said, adding that only eight of the state's 28 mills are running, crushing cane grown in the special season. Maharashtra and Karnataka are the country's second and third largest sugar-producing states, respectively. Farmers in both states are demanding a higher cane support pri

Mandhana Captaincy Era Set To Begin As India Take On Zimbabwe (Preview)
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: A new chapter in Indian women's cricket will commence on Friday when Smriti Mandhana leads the side as full-time captain for the first time in the opening T20I against Zimbabwe, who are still searching for their first win in the format this year. Fridays clash will mark the start of Zimbabwe's first-ever bilateral series against India, and the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium is set to host a women's international match for the first time. Smriti, who takes over from Harmanpreet Kaur after being the vice-captain for almost ten years, inherits a side brimming with confidence after winning the Asia Cup and the Asian Games gold medal. Captaincy is hardly unfamiliar territory for Smriti - she has led Maharashtra in domestic cricket and guided Royal Challengers Bengaluru to two WPL titles. She has also captained India in 18 T20Is, winning 11 and losing six of them, with the first of those coming seven years ago against England in Guwahati when Harmanpreet was injured. Her elevation to captaincy comes when Smriti is at the peak of her batting powers. The left-handed opener has struck two hundreds and 15 fifties in T20Is over the last three years and has pushed her strike rate to a career-best 148.25 in 2026. While Harmanpreet still remains a key figure in the dressing room, her now being free from leadership duties means she could well be more destructive with the bat. The main selection puzzle to solve for India is the number three slot, left vacant by Jemimah Rodrigues, who is recovering from a right hamstring tear. G Kamalini batted there twice, but Anushka Sharma and Niki Prasad pushed their case after posting strong showings against Australia A. Prema Rawat could come in with Shreyanka Patil not included for the series. India will also have huge hopes from vice-captain Shafali Verma and left-arm spinner N Sree Charani to continue their sparkling run. Zimbabwe, led by Josephine Nkomo, have lost all of their T20Is this year and last won in the format against Namibia in September 2025. They will, however, draw belief from their maiden ODI win over the West Indies at home in September. Opener Kelis Ndhlovu, the only Zimbabwean with a T20I fifty this year, will be a key figure with the bat. The three T20Is will be followed by three ODIs in Vadodara from October 23 to 28. When: October 16, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, Raipur Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Star Sports Network channels on TV and live-stream is available on the JioHotstar app and website. Squads India: Smriti Mandhana (captain), Shafali Verma (vc), Niki Prasad, Harmanpreet Kaur, Anushka Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wk), G Kamalini (wk), Deepti Sharma, Prema Rawat, Sree Charani, Nandni Sharma, Kranti Gaud, Arundhati Reddy, Jintimani Kalita, and Minnu Mani Squads Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Protest fallout: Mumbai Police ask actor Imran Khan to leave India by Oct 28
Mumbai, Oct 15: The Mumbai Police have issued a notice to Bollywood actor Imran Khan, an American national, directing him to leave India by October 28 for allegedly violating provisions of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, officials said on Thursday. The action follows the actor's participation in an agitation at Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan on October 10, where protesters demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police had briefly detained Khan during the demonstration. Imran Khan (43), who has acted in several Bollywood films, is the nephew of superstar Aamir Khan. Former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya, who had sought action against Imran Khan after he participated in the protest, welcomed the police notice against him. Imran Khan holds foreign citizenship and is not an Indian national. Under relevant provisions of the Foreigners/Immigration Act, foreign nationals are prohibited from participating in political protests or political activities on Indian soil, a police official said. A formal notice directing the actor to leave the country by October 28 has been served on him, and he has received a copy of it, the police said. Further administrative procedures are underway, they added. The actor was unavailable for a response in the matter. He has acted in several films, including I Hate Luv Storys (2010) and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011). He recently had a cameo appearance in Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, a Bollywood film backed by Aamir Khan. Following the agitation last week, a video surfaced showing the actor responding to a reporter's query about his participation in the protest as he was being escorted to a police vehicle. I have no demands. I am not part of any organisation, he said. Somaiya had urged Mumbai police to act against Imran Khan for joining a protest here in support of the Cockroach Janta Party despite being a foreign citizen, and sought clarity on whether he can participate in such agitations. The BJP leader on Thursday welcomed the police action against the actor and demanded that others involved in similar activities also be deported. There are thousands of Imran Khans in India. They want to live here and defame the country. Action should be taken against all such people, and they should be deported, Somaiya told reporters, while thanking the police for acting on his complaint. Imran Khan had taken part in political activities against the government despite being a US citizen, he said, adding that a thorough investigation into the matter would expose others. Somaiya said he had complained to the Union government's immigration authorities, the Airport Authority and Mumbai Police after the actor participated in the protest, and also urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to intervene in the matter. I filed a complaint on Saturday and followed it up on Sunday. I had sought a report on how long Imran Khan had been a US citizen, Somaiya said, adding that he was grateful to the authorities for taking action. The actor was born and educated in the US, but earned his livelihood in India while participating in political and diplomatic activities opposing the government, the BJP leader charged. Action against Imran Khan should serve as a warning to others engaged in similar activities, Somaiya said and demanded that authorities identify and take action against all such individuals.

K'taka BJP thanks Centre for forming panel to address sugarcane farmers demands
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 15 (IANS) Karnataka BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra on Thursday thanked the Centre for responding to the legitimate demands of sugarcane farmers in Karnataka and Maharashtra by constituting a high-level committee to examine their concerns. In a statement, Vijayendra said the committee, headed by former NITI Aayog member Professor Ramesh Chand, was formed to find comprehensive solutions to the issues faced by sugarcane growers. He expressed gratitude to Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Union Minister Pralhad Joshi for taking the farmers demands seriously and responding to them positively. Vijayendra said Prime Minister Narendra Modis government was firmly committed to ensuring that farmers receive fair prices for their produce and that their problems are addressed through lasting solutions. The committee will work towards addressing key concerns, including the cost of sugarcane production, an increase in the minimum selling price (MSP) and transparency in weighing systems, he said. Stating that the BJP and the NDA government at the Centre stood firmly with farmers, Vijayendra said they were committed to ensuring that sugarcane growers received appropriate support and justice. Protecting farmers interests, improving the well-being of their families and ensuring the sustainable growth of the agricultural sector remained the top priorities, he added. It can be recalled that Union Minister Joshi said on Thursday that the Centre has taken swift steps to address the demands of sugarcane farmers and resolve issues in the sugar sector by constituting a joint committee headed by a former NITI Aayog member. In a statement, Joshi said the Centre had acted within just two days of giving an assurance at a high-level meeting held in New Delhi earlier this week, demonstrating its commitment to addressing farmers concerns. The joint committee, headed by Professor Ramesh Chand, former member of NITI Aayog, will meet sugarcane farmers, particularly in Karnataka and Maharashtra, to assess their problems and understand the ground realities, he said. The committee will hold consultations, conduct research and undertake a comprehensive assessment of the issues affecting the sugar sector. It will submit a detailed report containing specific recommendations to the Union government at the earliest, Joshi added. The panel will conduct an in-depth study of various aspects of the sugar sector, including the demand for higher remunerative returns for sugarcane farmers, taking into account the cost of cultivation and other relevant factors. Joshi said the Centre had responded promptly to the farmers demands and initiated measures to find comprehensive solutions to the challenges facing sugarcane growers and the sugar industry. It can also be noted that Union Minister Joshi had written to Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, urging the state government to respond promptly to the demands of sugarcane farmers and take measures to safeguard their interests. In the letter, Joshi referred to the detailed discussions held with sugarcane farmers and their representatives in New Delhi on October 12. Following the meeting, the farmers submitted a representation highlighting various issues they face in the state. Joshi urged the Chief Minister to take immediate action on several demands, including an independent inspection of sugar recovery rates, transparent inspection of weighing machines, a review of the eight per cent deduction for mechanical harvesting and the announcement of the State Advisory Price (SAP) for sugarcane. He called upon the state government to respond to the farmers demands without delay and take appropriate steps to address their concerns.

Maha govt forms task force to shape comprehensive transit network under 'Viksit Maharashtra 2047'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 15 (IANS) In a major step towards modernising urban mobility, the Maharashtra government has issued a Government Resolution (GR) to establish a high-level Task Force, which will draft a comprehensive framework for expanding railway networks, metro corridors, and Regional Rapid Transit Systems (RRTS) across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and other urban areas in the state. The initiative aligns with the 'Viksit Maharashtra 2047' vision, which aims to plan and expand transit networks more effectively and systematically. The formation of the Task Force follows a high-level meeting held on October 7, under the chairmanship of the Additional Chief Secretary (Urban Development-1). The newly established task force has been mandated to deliver its strategic recommendations and report within six months. Its core responsibilities include the formulation of policy recommendations and coordination measures to ensure seamless integration of public transit networks under the Viksit Maharashtra 2047 goals, conducting deep assessments regarding feasibility, suitability, and economic viability to determine which transport systems should be deployed in specific regions and the evaluation of the expansion of railway networks, the implementation of metro corridors, RRTS, and connecting major cities via semi-high-speed rail. The task force comprises key leaders and planning chiefs from major infrastructure and urban development bodies. Chaired by the Chairman and Managing Director, Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC), the Chief Manager (Planning), Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC), will be the member secretary. The task force's members include Joint Secretary (UD-7), Urban Development Department; Director (Planning/Projects), Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (Maha-Metro), Nagpur; Director (Projects), Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (Maha-Metro), Pune; Director (Planning), Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (MMRCL), Mumbai; Head (Transport & Communications), Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), Mumbai. The invitees (Planning Department Heads) include the representatives from CIDCO (Navi Mumbai), Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority, Nashik Metropolitan Region Development Authority, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Metropolitan Region Development Authority, Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority, and Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited. The task force chairman is also empowered to invite additional members as necessary for deliberations. The transit network in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) comprises a massive, multi-modal public transport system that serves millions of daily commuters. It is anchored by the historic suburban railway grid, rapidly expanding metro lines, and feeder systems. Spanning over 435 km, Mumbai's suburban rail network is one of the oldest and busiest in Asia, carrying roughly 7.5 million passengers daily. It is structured mainly across three primary trunk routes -- the Western Line, Central Line, and Harbour Line -- extending from South Mumbai deep into the extended suburbs and neighbouring districts. The network continues to undergo capacity upgrades, station improvements, and rolling stock modernisation (including widespread introduction of air-conditioned local train services) managed by the Central Railway, Western Railway, and other bodies, such as the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC). The Mumbai Metro network has seen substantial operational growth, scaling up to an operational length of roughly 80 km across key intersecting corridors. Line 1 (Blue Line): Versova to Ghatkopar (11.4 km, fully elevated, operational since 2014) while Line 2A (Yellow Line): Dahisar East to Andheri West (18.6 km), Line 7 (Red Line): Dahisar East to Gundavali (16.5 km) are operational and Line 3 (Aqua Line): Cuffe Parade to Aarey Colony (33.5 km, fully underground, completed in phases through late 2025, serving major commercial hubs like BKC and the airport). Daily metro ridership has scaled past 1.6 million passengers, providing vital east-west and north-south links that complement the traditional north-south bias of the suburban rail network. Over 120 km of additional metro tracks are currently in various phases of construction or approvals (including Line 2B, Line 4/4A Green Line, Line 5, Line 6, and extensions like Lines 9 and 12) to interconnect Thane, Navi Mumbai, Kalyan, and Mira-Bhayander. A single monorail corridor operates in pockets of the city, though its integration and service reliability have faced historic bottlenecks. Extensive municipal and state transport bus fleets (BEST, TMT, KDMT, NMMT) serve as critical first- and last-mile connectors to railway and metro stations.
