Punjab: CBI court sends 14 FCI officials, 16 millers to jail in rice scam (Ld)
Digital Desk | Mohali, Nov 14 (IANS) A Special CBI Court in Punjab's Mohali sentenced 30 convicts, including 14 officials of the Food Corporation of India (FCI) and 16 private rice millers, to jail terms ranging from three to one year in the 2004-2005 Punjab Rice Procurement Scam. The convicted accused were held guilty of criminal conspiracy and cheating under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) by the Special Court on Friday, a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) official said. The 14 FCI officials were additionally convicted under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, the official said in a statement. The court sentenced the convicts to rigorous imprisonment ranging from one to three years, along with fines, the statement added. The case relates to a criminal conspiracy between FCI officials and private rice millers during Kharif Season 2004-2005, wherein substandard rice was accepted as Grade-A rice at FCI centres in Malerkotla, Sunam and Tapa in Sangrur district. This resulted in wrongful payments to rice millers and financial loss to the Corporation, the statement said. The irregularities came to light during joint surprise checks conducted by the CBI in September 2005. Laboratory examination of rice samples confirmed that the consignments did not conform to the prescribed quality specifications. Accordingly, the CBI registered the case on January 7, 2006, the statement said. In the Malerkotla Centre Case, the Special CBI Court convicted 10 accused, comprising five FCI officials and five private rice millers. Varinder Rajput, Girdari Lal and K.P. Singh, the then FCI Technical Assistants, and Raunaq Ali and R.N. Sharma, the then FCI Assistant Managers (Quality Control) have been sentenced to Rigorous Imprisonment (RI) for two years with a fine of Rs 15,000 each, the CBI said. Private rice millers punished in the case include Harish Kumar and Rajnish Kumar, Partners of Shiv Shakti Rice Agro Products, and Rakesh Goyal, Partner of R.K. Agro Tech. In the Sunam centre case, the Special Court convicted six accused, comprising three FCI officials and three private rice millers. R.C. Verma, the then FCI Assistant Manager (Quality Control) and Som Pal Singh and K.L. Gulati, the then FCI Technical Assistants, have been sentenced to RI for two years with a fine of Rs 15,000 each, the CBI added. In the Sunam Centre Case, the court convicted six accused persons, comprising three FCI officials and three private rice millers. R.C. Verma and Som Pal Singh and K.L. Gulati have been sentenced to RI for two years with a fine of Rs 15,000 each, the statement said. In the Tapa Centre case, the court convicted 14 accused persons, comprising six FCI officials and eight private persons. Gurmail Singh, the then FCI Deputy Manager (Quality Control); R.S. Sirohi, the then FCI Assistant Manager (Quality Control); Ramesh Kumar, Harinder Singh, Harish Kumar and Satnam Singh, the then FCI Technical Assistants; have been sentenced to RI for two years with a fine of Rs 15,000 each, the statement added.

Harshal Patel Likely To Move To GT From SRH Via Trade Deal Ahead Of IPL 2027 Retention Deadline
Indians Praful Hinge: India fast bowler Harshal Patel is likely to move to Gujarat Titans (GT) from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) through a trade deal ahead of the 2027 IPL retention deadline on November 17. According to a report by Cricinfo on Saturday, the two franchises have settled on a cash-only deal worth Rs 4 crore, with the amount to be taken off GTs auction purse. That amount is only half of the Rs 8 crore SRH spent on him at the 2025 IPL mega auction. For GT, the interest is hardly sudden. They chased him in 2024 and dropped out at Rs 10.5 crore, with Punjab Kings finally securing him for Rs 11.75 crore. GT returned to the bidding for Patel in the 2025 auction as well, but stepped aside when the price reached Rs 6.5 crore. The move would also bring Patel back to the state where his roots lie. The right-arm pacer hails from Ahmedabad and moved back to represent Gujarat in domestic cricket from the 2025/26 season. At GT, who won the IPL in 2022, Patel will join Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Jason Holder and Ashok Sharma in the seam-bowling department. In IPL 2025, Patel picked up 16 wickets in 13 games, but in the last season he played just five times and did not take a wicket, while conceding 10.82 an over. The team leaned on uncapped Indians Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain instead to lead their fast-bowling charge. Patel, who played 25 T20Is for India and picked 29 scalps, has two IPL Purple Caps against his name - from 2021 with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), where he picked 32 wickets, and 2024 with Punjab Kings (PBKS), where he took 24 wickets. GT would be his fifth franchise after being with RCB, SRH, PBKS and Delhi Capitals (DC) since his IPL debut in 2012. In IPL, Harshal has played 124 matches and picked 151 wickets, with an average of 24.68, economy rate of 8.92 and best individual figures of 5-27. Previously, SRH, the IPL 2016 winners, brought in left-arm pacer T Natarajan from DC and then got Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a four-player exchange.

Pakistan draws up year-long plan to mobilise Sikh diaspora, Kashmir pressure groups against India
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS) The outreach that Pakistan has been making to its assets living abroad has caught the attention of the Indian agencies. Islamabad wants to scale up the propaganda war against India to such a large scale that it has been investing heavily in its foreign assets to further this agenda. Over the next year, Pakistan would extensively focus on calling in the Sikh diaspora in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom to Pakistan. Further arrangements are also being made to call in members of its pressure groups abroad and hold a series of meetings on how to ramp up anti-India propaganda activity. An Intelligence Bureau official said that Islamabad has been working on a route map on how to get these persons into Pakistan. These visits would not be discreet ones. In fact, the legal channels would be used to take these persons into Pakistan, and even the events and meetings that would be held would be heavily publicised. This would give such events validity, and there would be no questions asked by the International community, the official said. The focus for now is in having members of the pressure groups who raise the Kashmir issue on the international stage. Further, the Sikh diaspora too would be called in with the intention of discussing the Khalistan issue. An official said that the fact that Pakistan has chosen to use the legal route to get these persons into the country only suggests that it wants the international community to grant validity to both the Khalistan and Kashmir issues. During these events, fake issues of human rights violations would be raked up where both Kashmir and Punjab are concerned. The major push would be to publicise the cause and then push towards international mediation, the official said. This development comes in the wake of Pakistan making a major push to win over the Sikh community. The focus is on the Sikh diaspora abroad since India has kept the Kartarpur Corridor suspended for cross-border pilgrims travelling from the Indian side. This has prompted the Pakistanis to reach out to the Sikh diaspora abroad who would have normally travelled from the Indian side had the route not been suspended. Another official said that Islamabad is working on a strategy that would try to bring the Sikh diaspora as well as the so-called pro-Kashmiri activists through Dubai, Colombo, Kuala Lumpur, and Istanbul. There are special immigration arrangements that are in place to bring these persons into Pakistan. Such privileges are often given to high-ranking members travelling to Pakistan. Islamabad wants to emphasise that these persons who would help them in both the Khalistan and Kashmir cause are important guests who are on a state visit. This also means that the guests who would travel to Pakistan would avail smart-gate immigration facilities, special e-visas, and dedicated green channels. Pakistan intends to run this programme all year long and would begin this drive by inviting the Sikh diaspora abroad. This is being done more to target the Sikhs in Punjab who would be voting in the Assembly elections in 2027. The idea of bringing the Sikh diaspora from abroad and facilitating their visits to highly revered shrines is meant to send a message to the Sikhs in India. Islamabad hopes that the Sikhs in India would pressure the Indian government to relax restrictions and let them travel to Pakistan. The ISI hopes that India would give in to this pressure and then open up the route for the Sikhs in India so that some of them can be brainwashed into acting as assets for Pakistan once they return to Punjab. While the immediate emphasis would be on the Khalistan issue owing to the fact that the elections are round the corner in Punjab, the ISI would soon begin focusing heavily on Kashmir as well. Once these so-called Kashmiri activists are taken to Pakistan, the plan is to organise seminars and discourses. Pakistan would give wide publicity to such events with the hope that the Kashmir issue would be amplified on the global stage, an official said.

Arvind Krishna wins new New York Fed term
Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 14 (IANS) Indian American technology executive Arvind Krishna has been re-elected to the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, securing a new three-year term that will run through December 2029. Krishna, chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of IBM, will continue as a Class B director, a position intended to represent the public, the New York Fed announced on Friday (local time). He was elected by member banks in the Reserve Bank's Group 3, a category of smaller banks in the Second Federal Reserve District. His new term will end on December 31, 2029. Krishna has served on the New York Fed board since 2022, when he was elected to complete an unexpired term. He was re-elected in 2023 for a term ending this year. The latest election keeps the IIT Kanpur graduate on a board that provides the regional Reserve Bank with perspectives from outside the central bank, including from business and other sectors of the economy. Class B directors represent the public, with consideration for interests including agriculture, commerce, industry, services, labour and consumers, the New York Fed said. The New York Fed's board is separate from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington. A position on the regional bank's board does not make Krishna a member of the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets US monetary policy. Krishna became IBM's chief executive in April 2020. During a career at the company spanning more than three decades, he has held senior roles in research, cloud computing and software. Before becoming chief executive, he was senior vice president for cloud and cognitive software, where he led the development of IBM's hybrid cloud business. He also headed IBM Research, overseeing work in areas including artificial intelligence, quantum computing and cloud services, according to the New York Fed. Krishna holds an undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and a doctorate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He also serves on the boards of Northrop Grumman and the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, the bank said. Each of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks has a nine-member board. The directors are divided into three classes: Class A represents member banks, while Class B and Class C represent the public. The regional bank boards provide perspectives on conditions in their districts. The New York Fed president, separately from its board of directors, is a permanent voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee.

J&K unemployment nearly double national average at 9.4%; youth joblessness at 26.2%: PLFS
Srinagar, Nov 13:Jammu and Kashmir recorded an unemployment rate of 9.4 percent during July-September 2026, nearly twice the national average of 5.1 percent, while unemployment among young people aged 15-29 stood at 26.2 percent, highlighting the continuing employment challenge in the Union Territory, according to the latest Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS). The Quarterly Bulletin of the PLFS for July-September 2026, released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, shows that unemployment in J&K remains considerably higher than the national average across both rural and urban areas, with women and young people facing a particularly difficult situation in the labour market. The unemployment rate among persons aged 15 years and above in J&K stood at 9.4 percent, against 5.1 percent at the all-India level. The gap was particularly pronounced in urban areas, where the rate reached 14.1 percent, compared with 8.3 percent in rural areas. The gender-wise figures reveal an equally sharp disparity. Female unemployment in J&K stood at 14 percent, more than twice the male unemployment rate of 6.6 percent. In rural areas, unemployment among women was 11.5 percent against 6.2 per cent among men. In urban areas, the gap widened substantially, with female unemployment reaching 31.3 percent compared with 8.2 percent among men. The situation is particularly concerning among the youth. The unemployment rate for the 15-29 age group was 26.2 percent in J&K, against the national average of 15.3 percent. The rate was 24.3 percent in rural areas and 35.8 percent in urban areas. Among young women, unemployment stood at 38 per cent across rural and urban areas, compared with 19.4 percent among young men. The urban gender gap was especially pronounced. Unemployment among urban women aged 15-29 reached 65.3 percent, against 24.4 percent among urban men. In rural areas, the corresponding rates were 34 percent for women and 18.3 percent for men. The figures indicate that the employment challenge is not confined to the overall availability of jobs but is also marked by significant differences across gender, age and location. Despite the high unemployment rate, J&K recorded a Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) of 60.5 percent among persons aged 15 years and above, higher than the national average of 55.5 percent. The LFPR measures the proportion of the population that is either employed or seeking and available for work. In J&K, the rate was 75.4 percent among men and 45.5 per cent among women. The rural LFPR stood at 62.5 percent, compared with 53.1 percent in urban areas. The gender gap was visible in both segments: rural male participation was 75.3 percent against 49.8 percent among women, while in urban areas the corresponding rates were 75.8 percent and 28.3 percent. The Worker Population Ratio (WPR), which measures the proportion of the population that is employed, stood at 54.9 percent in J&K against 52.7 percent nationally. The WPR was 70.4 percent among men and 39.1 percent among women. In rural areas, it stood at 57.3 percent, while the urban ratio was 45.6 percent. Among young people aged 15-29, the WPR in J&K was 35.3 percent, compared with 34.9 percent nationally. The youth WPR was 47.6 percent among men and 22.3 percent among women. The surveys industry-wise distribution of employed persons presents another important dimension of J&Ks employment structure. Agriculture continued to be the largest source of employment, accounting for 39.1 percent of all employed persons aged 15 years and above. The secondary sector, including manufacturing, construction, mining and quarrying, accounted for 27.3 percent, while the tertiary or services sector contributed 33.6 percent. The dependence on agriculture was considerably higher among women. As many as 74.6 percent of employed women in J&K were engaged in agriculture, compared with 19.5 percent of employed men. Among employed men, the services sector accounted for 44.5 percent and the secondary sector for 35.9 percent. For women, the corresponding shares were only 13.7 percent and 11.7 percent. The rural employment structure was more heavily dependent on agriculture, which accounted for 44.5 percent of employed persons. The secondary sector contributed 28.1 percent and services 27.4 percent. In urban areas, the employment pattern was markedly different. Services accounted for 63.4 percent of employment, followed by the secondary sector at 23.6 percent and agriculture at 12.9 percent. The gender divide was also evident in the urban employment structure. Among employed urban women, 49.6 percent were in services and 36.9 percent in agriculture, while 13.5 percent were in the secondary sector. The state-wise figures show that J&Ks overall unemployment rate of 9.4 percent was higher than the rates recorded in the other states and Union Territories included in the bulletin. Kerala recorded 8.7 percent, Punjab 7.8 percent and Himachal Pradesh 5.9 percent. In the youth category, however, J&Ks unemployment rate of 26.2 percent was among the highest. Kerala recorded 28.9 percent and Himachal Pradesh 26.4 percent. The all-India unemployment rate for the 15-29 age group was 15.3 percent, with the rural rate at 13.6 percent and the urban rate at 18.9 percent. The PLFS estimates are based on the Current Weekly Status (CWS) approach. Under this measure, a person is considered unemployed if they did not work even for one hour on any day during the reference week but sought or were available for work for at least one hour on any day during that week. The survey covered 198 first-stage units in Jammu and Kashmir and 2373 households, with 10,713 persons surveyed during the July-September 2026 quarter.

All passengers accounted for after tanker hits cruise ship, New Orleans mayor says
The mayor of New Orleans said on Friday evening that all of the more than 100 passengers aboard a cruise ship docked at the Port of New Orleans on the Mississippi River had been accounted for after a large asphalt tanker crashed into it, causing it to sink. Mayor Helena Moreno said at a news conference that the collision between the American Heritage cruise ship a riverboat-style ship and a tanker called the Atlantic Asphalt occurred around 12:30 p.m. after the tanker lost control. She said that passengers immediately began disembarking, but as they did so, the cruise ship capsized. Reports suggest that at least a dozen people fell into the water. New Orleans police, Harbor Police, firefighters and other boats on the river helped rescue them, Moreno said, adding that 32 passengers were hospitalized with non-critical injuries. At this moment we have zero people unaccounted for, which truly is a miracle on the Mississippi, she said. And that is a credit to the first responders. Bystander footage from the scene showed the white, riverboat-style cruise ship slowly tipping onto its side following the collision as passengers waited on the deck. American Cruise Lines, which operates the American Heritage, shared a message on social media saying that it was deeply concerned for everyone involved. We are in close coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard and local authorities. Guests and crew were evacuated, and we are deeply concerned for everyone involved. We will share more information as it becomes available.

In Kashmir, a story can travel from a neighbourhood gathering to thousands of phones in minutes. A photograph, a short video or a voice note may become the days defining account before anyone has confirmed where it came from, when it was recorded or what happened before the camera began rolling. Now artificial intelligence is making that uncertainty harder to resolve. Images can be altered, voices imitated and convincing videos fabricated with tools that are increasingly accessible. The challenge is no longer simply that information moves quickly. It is that falsehood can arrive dressed as evidence. Social media has transformed the way people communicate, follow events and make their concerns heard. It has lowered the barriers to publication, allowing citizens to document local problems and bring attention to matters that might otherwise remain unseen. For a region where geography, access and circumstance can shape what reaches the public, these platforms can connect communities and make information more immediate. They can also give young people a space to learn, create and participate in wider conversations. But access alone does not guarantee understanding. A platform rewards attention, and attention is often captured by the most dramatic claim, the sharpest accusation or the most alarming clip. Nuance travels more slowly. Corrections, when they come, rarely spread with the force of the original allegation. In a tense or uncertain moment, a rumour can deepen fear before verified information has a chance to catch up. The consequences are not abstract: trust between neighbours, confidence in institutions and the safety of individuals can all be affected by what is shared online. Artificial intelligence has sharpened this concern. Generative tools can produce text, pictures, audio and video that appear authentic to a casual viewer. Some uses are valuable: AI can assist with translation, accessibility, education and creative work. But the same technology can be used to impersonate a public figure, fabricate a statement or make an old image appear to document a new event. When a recording can no longer be trusted simply because it looks and sounds real, the burden shifts to every viewer to ask: Who made this? What is the source? Is there independent confirmation? That burden should not fall on individuals alone. Technology companies design the systems that determine what users see, how widely a post spreads and whether manipulated material is labelled or removed. Their responsibilities must match their influence. Platforms should make reporting easier, respond swiftly to credible threats, provide clearer explanations of content moderation and disclose when synthetic media has been identified. Recommendation systems should not be allowed to amplify inflammatory material simply because it keeps users engaged. When companies operate across languages and communities, their safeguards must work in those languages and contextsnot just where moderation is easiest. Public institutions also have a role. Timely, clear and consistent communication can help prevent an information vacuum from being filled by speculation. When official statements are delayed, vague or difficult to verify, people turn to whatever account reaches them first. Authorities should communicate facts responsibly and distinguish confirmed information from what remains unknown. At the same time, responses to misinformation must be proportionate and transparent. The answer to falsehood cannot be the indiscriminate suppression of criticism, journalism or legitimate public discussion. Trust is built through credible information and fair process, not through silence. News organisations face a parallel responsibility. In a crowded digital space, verification is not a formality; it is the foundation of public service. A videos location, date and source must be checked before it is presented as fact. Headlines should not outrun the reporting beneath them, and uncertainty should be stated rather than concealed. Speed matters, but speed without verification can turn a newsroom into another link in the chain of misinformation. A correction should be visible and direct, not buried after a false claim has already travelled widely. The public, too, needs practical tools for navigating this environment. Digital literacy should be treated as an essential part of education, not an optional lesson for technology enthusiasts. Students and adults alike need to understand how manipulated media is made, how recommendation systems shape what appears in a feed and how to check claims before forwarding them. A brief pause can matter: verify the source, look for reliable reporting, check whether the image has appeared elsewhere and avoid sharing content that exposes private individuals to harm. These habits will not eliminate deception, but they can slow its spread. Kashmirs public conversation deserves more than a contest between viral claims and late corrections. Social media and AI are not inherently liberating or dangerous; their effects depend on who controls them, what incentives guide them and whether people have the means to question what they encounter. The promise is real: broader participation, faster access to information and new ways to create and learn. So is the risk: synthetic evidence, targeted manipulation and a public sphere in which suspicion becomes easier than trust. The task, therefore, is not to retreat from technology but to govern its use with care. Platforms must be accountable, institutions must communicate transparently, media must verify rigorously and citizens must be equipped to think critically. In a place where a single rumour can carry serious consequences, the ability to distinguish evidence from imitation is now part of public safety. The new public square is already in our hands. Whether it strengthens Kashmirs civic life or weakens the bonds that sustain it will depend on the standards we insist uponbefore the next unverified clip becomes everyones truth.

AIP seeks wider ambit for bank loan settlements
Srinagar, Nov 13: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) on Friday urged the State Bank of India (SBI) and other public and private sector banks to introduce One-Time Settlement (OTS) schemes for borrowers with outstanding liabilities exceeding Rs 5 crore, saying financial distress should not be judged solely by the size of a loan account. Welcoming J&K Bank's RAHAT Special OTS Scheme, the party said the initiative would provide relief to eligible borrowers with dues of up to Rs 5 crore. However, it stressed that similar opportunities should be extended to larger borrowers facing genuine financial difficulties. AIP chief spokesperson said several established businesses, industrial units, hotels and commercial establishments were struggling with mounting liabilities despite contributing to employment generation and economic activity. Questioning the exclusion of borrowers with larger outstanding dues, the spokesperson said genuine borrowers with liabilities of Rs 10 crore, Rs 20 crore or even Rs 50 crore should also be given an opportunity to settle their accounts. The party urged SBI, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and private sector lenders to introduce dedicated settlement mechanisms with higher financial limits, including provisions for accounts exceeding Rs 50 crore wherever justified. The spokesperson said banks should distinguish between genuine business failures and deliberate loan defaults instead of treating all large borrowers as wilful defaulters. AIP maintained that settlement decisions should be based on individual financial circumstances, recovery prospects and the commercial viability of negotiated settlements. It said prolonged litigation, accumulating interest and declining asset values could affect banks' recovery prospects, making transparent and time-bound settlement mechanisms necessary. The party also appealed to the Union Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to encourage banks to adopt broader compromise settlement policies, particularly for larger stressed accounts. Describing OTS as a financial recovery mechanism rather than a concession to borrowers, the spokesperson said genuine entrepreneurs deserved an opportunity to settle liabilities, protect jobs and revive businesses.
