Through public interactions and grassroots mobilisation, the campaign will seek to hold the government accountable for its failures and highlight the urgent need to restore safety, dignity and justice in Punjab. Later, Bajwa interacted with representatives of the industrial sector and held detailed discussions on the opportunities and challenges facing Punjabs industry. He assured the industry representatives that a Congress government in 2027 would formulate a progressive, investor-friendly and effective industrial policy aimed at addressing the concerns of entrepreneurs, facilitating investment, promoting innovation and generating employment. He emphasised that Punjab must regain its position as a leading industrial destination and that the states entrepreneurs should receive the policy support and enabling environment necessary to compete at national and international levels. Reviving industrial growth, he said, would be central to rebuilding Punjabs economy. Bajwa and Pargat Singh also addressed a meeting of Congress workers here, interacting with party leaders and grassroots workers. They discussed organisational strengthening, public outreach and the need to take the partys message to every constituency and section of society.

CBI court convicts former Punjab DSP in 1992 Amrik Singh abduction case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Punjab's Mohali on Wednesday convicted former Punjab Police Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Gurmeet Singh in the 1992 abduction case of Amrik Singh. The case originated from a Supreme Court order dated November 15, 1995, in a civil writ petition number 497 filed in the year 1995 (Paramjeet Kaur vs State of Punjab), following an affidavit submitted by Devinder Singh regarding the abduction of his father Amrik Singh on November 25, 1992, from Hotel Amaltash in Ludhiana by a Punjab Police team led by the then DSP Gurmeet Singh. Initially, a preliminary inquiry was registered, followed by the registration of a regular case on February 23, 2000. After completing the investigation, the CBI filed a charge sheet on November 27, 2001, against five police officials -- DSP Gurmeet Singh, DSP Parminderjit Singh, Station House Officer (SHO) Suba Singh, Sub-Inspector (SI) Surinder Singh and Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Jaswant Singh. Charges were framed against them on April 15, 2004. After the conclusion of the trial, the court on Wednesday convicted former DSP Gurmeet Singh under Sections 365 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Co-accused DSP Parminderjit Singh was acquitted, while proceedings against the remaining three accused -- SHO Suba Singh, SI Surinder Singh and ASI Jaswant Singh -- were abated following their deaths. The court is scheduled to pronounce the quantum of sentence against the convicted former DSP on November 12. Earlier on November 7, the CBI had arrested an Assistant Director of the Plant Quarantine Station (PQS), Visakhapatnam, along with a private individual in an alleged bribery case involving the clearance of imported containers.

Sunil Shinde defends Sonia Gandhi's remarks on Operation Blue Star, Babri demolition
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) Congress leader Sushil Kumar Shinde on Wednesday defended Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi's remarks in her memoir Belonging: A Journey of Love, touching upon Operation Blue Star, the demolition of the Babri Masjid, and the latter's approach towards politics. Speaking to IANS about the references to Operation Blue Star in the memoir, former Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said Sonia Gandhi had addressed several significant events in India's history and explained her perspective on them. Look, several things have happened in India's history, some good and some bad. She must have discussed all of them and explained her views. She must have also spoken openly about the events that took place in our country and the damage they caused, including the losses suffered by the party and, to some extent, the country. She must have shared everything wholeheartedly. However, I will comment on it after reading the book, Shinde said. He added that the memoir would also contain her account of Operation Blue Star, the military operation conducted at the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar in June 1984. She must have also mentioned everything about Operation Blue Star. Indira Gandhi and Punjab could never have been separated, but what could be done? Those who carried out the operation did so as part of their duty, he said. Responding to Sonia Gandhi's reported remark that she was in tears when the Babri Masjid was demolished in December 1992, Shinde said the Gandhi-Nehru family had responded emotionally to major political and historical events. Whether it was Babri or Operation Blue Star, the Gandhi-Nehru family is very emotional. They have dealt with and expressed all these matters from the heart. So, there must certainly have been tears in their eyes and pain in their hearts, but on one side there were emotions and on the other was a sense of duty, he said. Shinde also defended Sonia Gandhi against criticism from the BJP following the release of her memoir, highlighting her decision to make India her home and her contribution to public life. The BJP will keep saying such things; they have nothing else to do. But will they ever reflect on the sacrifices Sonia Gandhi has made for this country? A woman from a foreign country came to India and dedicated everything she had to this nation. There will be fewer people who come from outside and make India their own, he said. He added, Sonia Gandhi is such a leader who did not think about returning after she came to India. She gave her all to this nation till the end of her time. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Saifuddin Soz criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his political approach and remarks concerning religious communities, saying that his outlook was inconsistent with the idea of a secular Indian society. Commenting on the references to Modi in Sonia Gandhi's memoir, Soz said, The BJP is no longer what it used to be. Modi sahab wants to maintain closer ties with the RSS, and because of this, he has taken a different path. In Urdu, this is called 'being misled'. He further said, Modi ji can no longer speak about a secular Indian society. Recently, he went to Rajasthan and made a statement referring to Muslims. How can a Prime Minister who continues to divide India's entire population into separate groups, such as Hindus and Muslims, serve the country? His outlook is not clear. Sonia Gandhi also points to this. That is why Modi ji cannot look Sonia Gandhi in the eye and speak to her, Soz added. Sonia Gandhi's memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, has triggered political reactions, with Congress leaders defending her account while leaders from the BJP and other parties have questioned several of its claims and references.

Hardik's Arrival An 'important Step' Towards IPL Title: PBKS CEO Menon
PBKS CEO Menon: Punjab Kings (PBKS) CEO Satish Menon on Wednesday described the signing of premier seam-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya as an important step in the franchises bid to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) title. On Wednesday, the BCCI formally announced that Pandya joined the franchise from Mumbai Indians (MI) in a trade deal that sent left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh to the five-time champions ahead of the 2027 IPL season. The trade had been in the making for nearly a week. PBKS is yet to win an IPL title with their best-ever result being securing a runners-up finish in 2014 and 2025 seasons. We are delighted to welcome Hardik to the Punjab Kings family. He is a proven match-winner who brings tremendous experience, confidence and a winning mentality. His ability to change the course of a game with both bat and ball makes him a valuable addition to our squad. As we enter the 20th season of the IPL, our focus remains on building a team capable of competing at the highest level and bringing the trophy home to Punjab. Hardiks arrival is an important step in that direction, Menon said in a statement on Wednesday. The numbers support the faith of PBKS in him. Since making his IPL debut in 2015, Pandya has played 162 matches, scoring 2,955 runs and picked up 82 wickets. Pandya first arrived at MI as a raw youngster in 2015 and developed into one of the leading all-rounders in the cricketing world in the shortest format. Pandya played a major role in four of MIs title-winning campaigns in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020, before leaving for Gujarat Titans (GT), whom he led to IPL 2022 win. In 2024, Pandya moved back to MI from GT via a trade deal and took over as their captain, which didnt give the desired results in terms of winning championships. Pandyas move to PBKS comes with a pay rise, as his fee goes up to INR 18 crore from the INR 16.35 crore he earned at MI. Arshdeep moves across on his current fee of INR 18 crore. Bringing in Hardik came at a price, though, as PBKS had to give up on Arshdeep, who made his IPL debut for the franchise in 2019. Since then, he claimed 111 wickets in 96 matches for the franchise. In that time he became one of the teams main weapons with the ball and is now the leading wicket-taker for India in mens T20Is. Arshdeep has been an integral part of Punjab Kings for many years, and this is also an emotional moment for us. We have seen him grow into one of the finest fast bowlers in the country, and we are incredibly proud of his journey. Since then, he claimed 111 wickets in 96 matches for the franchise. In that time he became one of the teams main weapons with the ball and is now the leading wicket-taker for India in mens T20Is. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
MI To Take considered Approach On Captaincy After Trading Hardik For Arshdeep
Indian Premier League: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) said they will take their time to pick a new captain for the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season after trading their last two seasons' captain, Hardik Pandya, to Punjab Kings on Wednesday and bringing in left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in return. The swap leaves the five-time champions without a leader for the first time since Hardik took charge in 2024. Though the chatter in cricketing circles has been about Rohit Sharma possibly returning to the leadership role, with Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah as other contenders, MI have made it clear that they will not rush into a decision. As Mumbai Indians look ahead to the upcoming season, the franchise will take a considered approach to evaluating its captaincy options. An announcement regarding the teams captaincy will be made at the appropriate time, said the side in its statement. That wording puts the leadership question at the centre of MIs plans for the upcoming retention deadline on November 17 and subsequent auction planning ahead of the mini-auction happening in Goa on December 16. The MI dressing room is set to look quite different from the one Hardik led. Hardiks exit marks the end of a long and eventful association with MI. He first arrived at MI as a raw youngster in 2015 and developed into one of the leading all-rounders in the cricketing world in the shortest format. He played a major role in four of MIs title-winning campaigns before leaving, and returned from Gujarat Titans (GT), whom he led to the IPL 2022 win, in 2024 to take over as captain. MI owner Akash Ambani paid tribute to a departing Pandya. Hardik has shared some very special moments with Mumbai Indians. We have seen him grow as a cricketer, make his mark on the world stage and then return to lead the team. His contribution, his energy and the competitive spirit he brings to the field have been valuable to Mumbai Indians. I have great respect for him, both as a cricketer and as a person, and wish him nothing but the very best for everything that lies ahead, he said. Pandyas move to PBKS comes with a pay rise, as his fee goes up to INR 18 crore from the INR 16.35 crore he earned at MI. Arshdeep moves across on his current fee of INR 18 crore. In 162 IPL matches, Pandya has amassed 2,955 runs at a strike rate of 146.28 and picked up 82 wickets. For Arshdeep, the switch ends his eight-season stint at PBKS, the franchise where he made his IPL debut in 2019. The left-arm pacer leaves as their highest wicket-taker of all time with 111 scalps in 96 games. He claimed 21 wickets in the 2025 edition and added 14 more in 2026. Arshdeep also holds the record for the most wickets by an Indian bowler in mens T20Is. Arshdeeps arrival gives MI one of Indias leading fast bowlers in T20Is, who can pair up well with ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah to share the new ball. Arshdeep is also a reliable death-overs bowler and is expected to make the MI fast-bowling attack sharper and more versatile. For Arshdeep, the switch ends his eight-season stint at PBKS, the franchise where he made his IPL debut in 2019. The left-arm pacer leaves as their highest wicket-taker of all time with 111 scalps in 96 games. He claimed 21 wickets in the 2025 edition and added 14 more in 2026.

MI And PBKS Complete Marquee Trade Deal Of Hardik And Arshdeep
Indian Premier League: In a major player trade ahead of the Indian Premier League 2027, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) have completed the swap of Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh. MI captain Hardik Pandya will move to PBKS, while Indias leading wicket-taker in T20I Arshdeep will join the five-time champions. Pandya will join PBKS at a fee of Rs 18 crore, up from his existing fee of Rs 16.35 crore, while Arshdeep will join MI at his existing fee of Rs 18 crore.

IANS had reported that PBKS had edged ahead of others in the race to secure the services of Hardik with MI ahead of the November 17 retention deadline as the paperwork was completed for the trade deal last week. Pandyas trade brought the curtain down on his second stint with MI, a franchise with which he won four IPL titles. Having first joined MI in 2015, Pandya developed into one of the leagues most impactful all-rounders, contributing with both bat and ball during the teams title-winning campaigns in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. After seven seasons with MI, Pandya moved to Gujarat Titans (GT) ahead of IPL 2022 and made an immediate impact as captain, leading the franchise to the title in its debut season. GT also reached the final in 2023 before Pandya returned to MI in 2024 and took over the captaincy. Across 162 IPL matches, he has scored 2,955 runs at a strike rate of 146.28 and claimed 82 wickets, underlining his value as a proven match-winner. Arshdeep, meanwhile, moves to MI after eight seasons with PBKS, the franchise where he made his IPL debut in 2019 and established himself as one of the competitions leading left-arm fast bowlers. With 111 wickets in 96 IPL matches, he is PBKS all-time leading wicket-taker. Arshdeeps ability to make early breakthroughs with the new ball and deliver under pressure in the death overs has made him a key component of Punjabs bowling attack.

Lahore's toxic air blamed on India fireworks
ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI: Pakistan blamed poor air quality this week on pollution drifting from neighbouring India, where firecrackers set off during the festival of Diwali over the weekend blanketed much of the north in toxic smog.The northern Pakistani city of Lahore topped Swiss group IQAir's ranking of the world's most polluted major cities for a second day on Tuesday, with an air quality index (AQI) of 263, categorised as very unhealthy.Also read | Pakistan farmers in long fight to make German firms pay for flood damageThe city's concentration of PM2.5, harmful airborne particles small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs, was 37.2 times above the World Health Organization's annual guideline, IQAir said.Pakistani Punjab's Environment Protection Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said pollutants had been carried into the region by light winds and air drifting from India in the aftermath of Diwali.However, air pollution is expected to gradually decrease from early afternoon as weather conditions improve and winds shift direction, she said.India's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Also read | As Delhi gasps for clean air, parliamentary panel skips hearing on air pollutionIQAir ranked Delhi the world's second-most polluted major city on Tuesday, with an AQI of 188. Indian government data showed that firecrackers were responsible for nearly 55% of the PM2.5 in the Indian capital a day earlier.Vehicle emissions, construction dust and smoke from crop-waste burning are also major contributors to winter pollution on both sides of the border.Pakistan had similarly attributed its toxic air in 2024 to crop-waste burning in Indian Punjab, but officials from India's weather department had said at the time that the wind direction meant the airflow was actually from Pakistan into India.BJP has also blamed crop-waste burning in Indian Punjab - governed by a regional opposition party - for Delhi's poor air quality this month. Local media reported a sevenfold increase in farm fires in the state on Sunday, when Diwali was celebrated.Indian Punjab's state government, however, says incidents of crop-waste burning have fallen compared with previous years.

Twelve Injured, Questions Unanswered
The crash near Sumbal Bala is more than a frightening interruption to a tourist journey. A Tempo Traveller skidded off the road on Tuesday evening, injuring at least 12 people from Gujarat, West Bengal and Punjab. The injured were first taken to PHC Gund; several were later referred to SKIMS Soura for specialised care. Their safe recovery is the immediate concern. The wider concern is why a road used by residents and visitors continues to expose passengers to such risk. The available details do not establish what caused the vehicle to skid. That is precisely why the police investigation must be more than a formal entry in a case register. It should establish the circumstances of the crash and examine the relevant factorsroad condition, visibility, vehicle fitness, speed and driver conductwithout presuming blame before evidence is gathered. Cognisance is only a beginning. The public deserves to know what the inquiry finds and what action follows. The incident also tests the emergency response system. PHC Gund provided initial treatment, and some injured passengers were referred to Srinagar. That pathway may have been necessary, but it raises a practical question: can local facilities consistently stabilise multiple casualties while arranging prompt onward transport? Authorities should review the response, identify any delay or resource gap, and make improvements where evidence points to them. In an accident involving a dozen people, readiness is not an abstract administrative issue; it can shape the first critical hours of care. Tourism is often discussed through arrivals, bookings and revenue. Yet visitors encounter Kashmir through its roads as much as its landscapes. When a vehicle carrying families from several states leaves the road, confidence depends not on reassurance but on visible safeguards: road maintenance, clear warnings at hazardous stretches, responsible driving and timely medical care. Residents deserve those protections every day; visitors should not have to rely on luck. No single crash, on the facts currently available, proves a systemic failure. But it does demand scrutiny, especially on routes carrying tourist traffic through difficult terrain. Authorities should inspect the stretch near Sumbal Bala, publish the findings of the investigation and act on any identified defect or lapse. Transport operators, too, must ensure their vehicles are roadworthy and drivers fit for the journey. Twelve people were injured; the consequences could have been worse. Treating the incident as routine would be the greater failure. A road becomes safer not through condolences or promises, but through transparent investigation and corrective action before another vehicle skids off it.
