Punjab Sakhi Shakti Mela Starts in Amritsar: Entry, Timings
Digital Desk | London, Sep 26 (IANS) A leading international human rights organisation on Saturday expressed grave concern over escalating violence against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan, saying Ahmadis continue to face discrimination, intimidation, restrictions on their religious practices and hate campaigns across the country. Highlighting the atrocities against Ahmadis, the UK-based International Human Rights Committee (IHRC) said that an Ahmadi father and his son were shot by unidentified assailants in Sargodha city of Pakistans Punjab province. It said that during the attack on the late evening of September 19, the father sustained three to four gunshot wounds, including serious injuries to his jaw and neck area, while his son suffered a gunshot injury to his arm. The rights body noted that the shooting came against the backdrop of an increasingly hostile environment for the community, including an anti-Ahmadi propaganda campaign documented across Sargodha. It stated that earlier in September, banners and posters carrying openly hostile anti-Ahmadi messaging were reported and documented in public spaces across the city, including material bearing slogans such as We Hate Qadianiat (a religious slur). The IHRC warned that widespread public display of such rhetoric was fueling an increasingly hostile environment for an already vulnerable religious community. The sequence of events in Sargodha is deeply concerning. Public anti-Ahmadi propaganda has appeared across the city. Members of the community have reportedly faced threats. Now an Ahmadi father and son have been shot while returning home. These developments require an urgent and effective response from the authorities, the rights body stated. When inflammatory rhetoric and threats against a religious community are allowed to proliferate without effective intervention, there is a serious risk that an already hostile environment will deteriorate further. No individual should have to fear being attacked because of their religious identity, it added. The IHRC called on the government of Pakistan to ensure effective protection for Ahmadis facing credible threats and uphold the fundamental rights and security of all citizens irrespective of religion or belief. It further urged the United Nations, international human rights mechanisms, diplomatic missions and international civil society organisations to closely monitor the deteriorating situation facing Ahmadis in Pakistan and raise these incidents with the Pakistani authorities. Stressing that events unfolding in Sargodha demand urgent attention, the rights body said, A community should not have to wait for further bloodshed before credible threats and incitement to violence are taken seriously.

IFA Shield: Punjab FC eye strong start under Dermitzakis in opener against Calcutta Customs
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 26 (IANS) Punjab FC will start their campaign in IFA Shield 2026-27 against Calcutta Customs Club at Barasat Stadium near Kolkata on Sunday, hoping to make a good start after refurbishing the squad for the upcoming season. The Group II encounter marks the beginning of a new competitive season for the Shers and their first-ever campaign in the historic IFA Shield. The match serves as the first official outing for newly appointed head coach Pavlos Dermitzakis. The Greek tactician has named a revamped 24-member squad for the tournament, featuring a balanced mix of youth, established domestic talent, and key international acquisitions. The foreign contingent, comprising European-experienced defender Patrick Gerard Bahanack alongside newly acquired attackers Diego Raposo, Alfred Planas Moya, and Raphael Messi Bouli, is expected to add strength, pace, and finishing prowess to the lineup. To ensure tactical discipline against the local challengers, Punjab FC will rely on a robust domestic core. Goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh assures the back, supported by the defensive grit of Muhammed Uvais, Bishu Sharma, and Suresh Meitei. In the centre of the park, Nikhil Prabhu and Khaiminthang Lhungdim are expected to play pivotal roles in orchestrating play and anchoring transitions. The roster also underscores the clubs commitment to youth development, featuring several breakout talents from the Roundglass Football Academy. Graduates such as Manglenthang Kipgen, Muhammad Suhail, Arshvir Singh, and Ayush Deshwal have been integrated into the first team, providing the young athletes a vital platform to showcase their progression from the grassroots to the professional stage. Calcutta Customs, on the other hand, will start as underdogs after their 3-1 loss against the current ISL champions East Bengal FC. Although they drew first blood through an early strike by Riki Gharami in the 12th minute on a difficult, muddy pitch affected by stormy weather, they were comprehensively outplayed by the Red & Gold Brigade. Speaking ahead of his managerial debut, Dermitzakis said, We are very excited to begin our IFA Shield campaign. This historic tournament gives us a fantastic opportunity to evaluate our revamped squad in a highly competitive environment early in the season. We have built a formidable mix of experienced international players, established domestic leaders, and talented young boys from our Roundglass Academy. Calcutta Customs is a resilient side that knows the local conditions very well, but our focus remains on executing our tactical patterns, maintaining our discipline, and starting the group stage with a positive result, he added. Securing three points in Sunday's opener will be essential for Punjab FC to build momentum before they face local heavyweights East Bengal FC in their second group-stage fixture on September 30.

Couldn't Process It For 10 Minutes Dhir Recalls Seeing His Name In India ODI Squad
ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup: When Naman Dhir first saw a congratulatory message on social media after he got his maiden India call-up for the upcoming ODI series against the West Indies, he casually dismissed it as spam. But when he finally opened the official team announcement post, the Faridkot-based Dhir froze in disbelief and needed ten minutes just to comprehend that his lifelong dream had finally come true. Our Sher-e-Punjab tournament in Punjab was over, so I was there. Actually, I had no idea that there would be a call-up or anything like that. So I got a message on Instagram congratulating me. I ignored it; I thought it might be something else. But I opened that post, and after that, when I saw my name, I couldn't process it for 10 minutes. I mean, I've been selected here. But yes, it was a surreal feeling. First of all, I called my father; he was very happy. He had a lot of emotions coming out, Dhir said in a video posted by the BCCI on its social media handles on Saturday. Dhirs path to the national dressing room has been defined by a never-give-up attitude. After representing Punjab at the U-16 level, he endured nearly seven years of complete oblivion, finding himself off the radar before a breakthrough season in the U-25 tournament reignited his career, leading to a Ranji Trophy debut and subsequently an IPL contract with Mumbai Indians. Every kid who starts playing cricket has a dream to represent India, and to play a match for India. So, I guess for me, it's still a dream come true. I feel like I'm living my dream. The old Naman was quitting at one point, but the new Naman will say that you should keep working hard with a pure heart. If you're honest with your work and your hard work, you'll get a 100 percent result. I represented Punjab in the U-16s. After that, I didn't play anything for 6-7 years, till U-25s. After that, I got a breakthrough and scored runs in the U-25s, and then I was called up for the Ranji Trophy. Then IPL came, and that's when my journey started. So, those 6-7 years were tough, but as I said, if you're honest with your work and your hard work, you'll get a 100 percent result, he added. First making heads turn during his maiden IPL stint in 2024 with a blistering 28-ball 62 against Lucknow Super Giants, Dhir soon established himself as a potent middle-order striking option. His steady progression through the India A setup in 2025, including the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup, kept him firmly on the selectors' radar. However, the definitive push for a national call-up came during the recently concluded Sher-e-Punjab T20 tournament. Dhir amassed 655 runs at an astronomical strike rate of 217.61, powered by 49 boundaries and as many sixes. The centrepiece of that campaign was a jaw-dropping 173 off just 64 balls. Eight days later, the India call-up arrived, right after he had also been named in the India A squad for the one-dayers against Australia A in Puducherry. However, the definitive push for a national call-up came during the recently concluded Sher-e-Punjab T20 tournament. Dhir amassed 655 runs at an astronomical strike rate of 217.61, powered by 49 boundaries and as many sixes. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories With selectors slating him for a dynamic middle-order role in the series, Dhir is focused on soaking in the moment. Getting the India cap, I don't know how I'll feel then. But right now, what I'm thinking is that I want to enjoy this moment to the fullest because I've waited my whole life for this moment. As far as I'm concerned, I'll give more than 100 percent, but I want to enjoy it even more, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

NCW Chief Vijaya Rahatkar interacts with working women in Gwalior
Digital Desk | Gwalior, Sep 26 (IANS) National Commission for Women Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar on Saturday began a four-day visit to Madhya Pradesh from Gwalior where she interacted with working women and discussed issues related to empowerment. In a message on X, Rahatkar shared details of her schedule and said, Starting today, I am beginning a four-day tour of Madhya Pradesh. During this journey, I will have the opportunity to participate in many programs being organised in Gwalior and Shivpuri districts. By travelling to every corner of the country to infuse new energy into the campaign for women's empowerment, by meeting women at the grassroots level and engaging in conversations with them, and by closely understanding their hopes and experiences this is my small effort, she said on X. Her engagements in Gwalior over two days include a visit to Central Jail, Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education and Shri Pitambara Peeth near Datia Railway Station. Meetings with local representatives and interaction with Maharashtra Samaj in Jayendraganj, Shinde Ki Chhawani were also scheduled. On the third day of her visit to Shivpuri, Rahatkar is scheduled to undertake a Mahila Jansunvai; lead consultations on state specific women related issues, visit a Sakhi One Stop Centre and chair a review meeting with senior district administrative and police officials at the collectorate meeting hall. On the final day of her state visit, the NCW Chairperson will be back in Gwalior to hold a Mahila Jansunvai, interact with district administrative and police officials and take part in Yadhodha AI and She Serves programmes involving the youth at LNIPE and a private university. Earlier, Rahatkar visited Hussainiwala Border in Punjabs Ferozepur. In a message on X, she said, My visit to Hussainiwala Border, Ferozepur (Punjab) was not just a trip for me, but an unforgettable experience of pride and gratitude toward the nation. When I reached the Hussainiwala border and saw that the border of another country was just a few steps away, a deep feeling stirred in my heartthat our citizens are so secure because our border guardians are protecting the country with such vigilance and dedication, she said. After a visit to the National Martyrs Memorial, she wrote, The visit to the National Martyrs Memorial at Hussainiwala was an extremely emotional experience for me. On this sacred land, the echoes of the sacrifice of martyrs Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev can still be felt today. Seeing their letters and documents preserved in the museum deeply touched my heart. In these letters, the indomitable courage of those three young revolutionaries and their resolve to dedicate their lives to the nation are evident. The youth of today should draw inspiration from this selfless patriotism and play their role in building the country, she said. Visiting the samadhi of Martyr Bhagat Singh's mother, Vidyavati Ji, was a particularly poignant moment for me. For a mother, losing her child is the greatest sorrow, and perhaps the greatest pride could be that her son devoted his life to the nation. Expressing that maternal pain and maternal pride in words is difficult, said Rahatkar.

Sunil Jakhar accuses Punjab govt of taking credit for Centre schemes
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 26 (IANS) Former Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Sunil Jakhar on Saturday accused the Bhagwant Mannled government of trying to conceal its alleged financial mismanagement by taking credit for a Union government scheme and spending public money on advertisements. Addressing the media, Jakhar referred to newspaper advertisements publicising a Rs 750crore scheme for villages with a substantial Scheduled Caste population. He said the advertisements falsely portrayed the scheme as a state government achievement. Jakhar claimed that the funds were being provided under the Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAGY), which he described as a 100 per cent centrally funded scheme. According to him, the Union government bears the entire cost, with no financial contribution required from the Punjab government. He said the scheme has been operated in its current form since 202021 and provides development grants to villages where Scheduled Castes account for more than 40 per cent of the population. The Union government had identified 3,763 villages in Punjab for the scheme. Funds had already been released for 1,200 villages, and the remaining villages were expected to receive funds shortly. Displaying large newspaper advertisements carrying Chief Minister Bhagwant Manns photograph, Jakhar accused the state government of using public funds to claim credit for a centrally funded programme. He alleged the government had undertaken no comparable initiative of its own for village development and instead promoted its image through advertisements. Jakhar demanded an immediate apology from the state government. He also said the BJP would examine whether previously released funds had reached the intended villages or whether any money had been diverted to advertising before reaching beneficiaries. Jakhar criticised the state governments Mawan Dhian Satkar Yojana, saying the programme had failed to address the concerns of women from families affected by drugrelated deaths. He alleged that mothers and daughters were approaching the government seeking justice for sons and brothers who had died because of drugs, but were instead being offered Rs 1,000. He claimed the government was humiliating rather than respecting the women and suggested renaming the scheme Mawan Dhian Tiraskar Yojana, or the Disrespect for Mothers and Daughters Scheme. On the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Jakhar accused the Congress and AAP of staging protests for publicity rather than using the formal process available to voters. He questioned why the two parties were holding demonstrations instead of filing objections with the Election Commission if they believed legitimate voters had been removed from the rolls.

Delhi-NCR wakes up to pleasant weather as rain, thunderstorms likely over next three days
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS) Delhi-NCR woke up to pleasant weather and cool winds on Saturday, with light to moderate rainfall expected over the next two to three days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Saturday, warning of thunderstorms and gusty winds of up to 30 kmph. The expected rainfall is likely to provide some relief from the recent heat as the national Capital moves into the post-monsoon period. Rainfall is expected on Saturday, Sunday and Monday as a depression over Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh moves towards Uttar Pradesh and interacts with a weak western disturbance. While heavier rainfall is expected in parts of Uttarakhand and north-western Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana and north Rajasthan are likely to receive lighter showers. Similar weather conditions are expected to prevail on Sunday, while there is also a possibility of light rain on Monday. The change in weather is attributed to a cyclonic circulation in the lower atmosphere over north-western Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas. The southwest monsoon withdrew from Delhi on September 23, two days ahead of its normal withdrawal date, marking the earliest retreat from the national Capital since 2002. Despite the early withdrawal, weather officials said the prevailing weather systems could continue to bring scattered showers and thunderstorms over the next few days. Cloudy skies and moist easterly winds helped keep temperatures lower in Delhi on Friday. The maximum temperature settled at 33 degrees Celsius, one degree below normal, while the minimum temperature was recorded at 24.2 degrees Celsius. For Saturday, the IMD has forecast a maximum temperature of 32-34 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 22-23 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, a weather system over Chhattisgarh and Odisha, along with a fresh spell associated with a trough in the upper atmosphere, is expected to bring heavy rainfall across a wide stretch of the country on Saturday, according to the IMD. At the centre of the weather activity is a depression that formed over south Odisha and adjoining south Chhattisgarh. Uttar Pradesh is likely to witness intense rainfall activity over the next two days, the IMD said on Friday, issuing a red alert for several districts. The weather agency warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall at several places and extremely heavy rainfall at isolated locations. The state government has placed district administrations on alert in view of the forecast till September 27. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, taking note of the forecast of heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and the situation arising from flash floods, directed district magistrates of the concerned districts to maintain special vigilance and visit the field to monitor arrangements. Meanwhile, Delhi's air quality remained in the 'satisfactory' category. The AQI recorded at various monitoring stations was 63 at NSUT Jaffarpur, 65 at Punjabi Bagh, 68 at Shadipur, 85 at Sirifort, 67 at Chandni Chowk, 65 at Commonwealth Sports Complex, 56 at JNU, 72 at Alipur, 63 at R K Puram, 77 at Anand Vihar, 84 at Mundka, 68 at Vivek Vihar, 120 at Rohini, 129 at Wazirpur and 91 at Nehru Nagar.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS) The Congress on Friday staged nationwide protests to demand the resignation and arrest of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over 'vote chori' allegations, asserting that the party would not bow down until action is taken against him. The allegations have gained momentum after a media report claimed differences within the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Several Congress leaders and workers were detained during the agitation, including the party's Assam and Punjab chiefs Gaurav Gogoi and Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, respectively. Water cannons were also used to disperse the protesters across states. In the national capital, the Youth Congress held a march demanding the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar. Delhi Congress President Devender Yadav said: The demand is clear that Gyanesh Kumar must be arrested because he has murdered democracy. The essence of a democracy is lost when votes are stolen. We clearly demand that Gyanesh Kumar resign and that the elections conducted over the past year undergo a review, he added. Mahila Congress President Alka Lamba recalled that the party, especially Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, has been speaking about the heft of votes for months now. On December 14, the Vote Chor Gaddi Chhodo rally was held at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi. The entire Delhi was echoing with the slogan...Today, our only demand is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should seek Gyanesh Kumars resignation. He should be arrested and sent to jail. The illegal decisions taken by him must be stopped and reversed, Lambae told IANS. Congress leaders and workers attempted to 'gherao' the Election Commission office in Chandigarh. Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, who was being detained, told reporters: We have all gathered here demanding the removal of Gyanesh Kumar and his arrest and imprisonment. Our protest is against the SIR. Votes are being stolen across the country, and 20 lakh votes have been deleted in Punjab...Our demand is that SIR should be cancelled and voting should take place without it. Congress Chandigarh President H.S. Lucky asserted that the party would continue the agitation despite the attempts being made by the police to stop them. The police are doing their duty and putting up barricades. Deploy the police, the Army, Income Tax, ED, or any other agency, but the way the people of the country have been wronged, they will not tolerate it. Gen-Z recently held a major protest at Jantar Mantar. Another major movement will emerge in the country. This protest will continue until Gyanesh Kumar resigns, just as (then-Union Education Minister) Dharmendra Pradhan did, Lucky told IANS. Security personnel also used water cannons to disperse agitators in Chandigarh. Leading a protest march in Bhubaneswar, Odisha Congress President Bhakta Charan Das said: This movement is against the stealing of votes, and Gyanesh Kumar will have to resign. Rahul Gandhi has been raising the issue of vote theft from the beginning, but no one was listening. Today, it has been proved how vote theft is taking place. Led by Bihar President Rajesh Ram, Congress workers in Patna marched towards the Election Commission office. However, police put up barricades near the Secretariat to stop them. A heated scuffle broke out between the police and the workers as the latter attempted to break through the barricades and move forward. The police had to use water cannons to bring the situation under control. Speaking to reporters during the agitation, Rajesh Ram said: We are not afraid. We will continue to protest against Gyanesh Kumar, who is a criminal. Another protester alleged that police resorted to 'lathi charge'. Purnia MP Pappu Yadav also took part in the Congress protest in Patna. Criticising the Election Commission, he said: They have committed an injustice against 13 crore people in Bengal, Bihar and Assam. How can they be allowed to go? Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat took part in the Congress protest in Dehradun. Congress state in-charge Kumari Selja said: We are holding protests across the country. People have seen the revelations that have come out regarding the Chief Election Commissioner. The Election Commission is not functioning in the manner it should. There is no unanimity there, and it is not impartial. Similarly, Congress leaders and workers protested outside the Election Commission office in Shimla. Congress Himachal Pradesh in-charge Rajni Patil also recalled Rahul Gandhi's vote theft allegations, saying: Now we are firmly convinced that there are irregularities in the elections...If things go on like this then the Constitution will be totally destroyed. Similar protests also took place in Assam's Guwahati, where state chief and MP Gaurav Gogoi, along with other party members, was detained while trying to break through police barricades
Pain visible in eyes of drug-hit families of Punjab, says BJP MP Chugh
Digital Desk | Hoshiarpur, Sep 25 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha MP Tarun Chugh on Friday met families affected by drug abuse in Punjab's Hoshiarpur as part of the party's 'Nasha Mukt Punjab' campaign and expressed concern over the devastating impact of drugs on families and youth. Chugh said the pain visible in the eyes of mothers, sisters, widows and children is not the tragedy of individual families but the pain of Punjab. There is anger in the eyes of the people and anguish in their hearts. He added that mothers are losing their sons, sisters are left holding Rakhi with no brother left to tie it to, widows are losing their husbands and children are growing up without their parents. In some families, more than one child has been lost to drugs. The shoulders that were supposed to become the support of ageing parents are today carrying the bodies of their own children. Chugh said the state government's responsibility was to protect the youth from the drug menace, but alleged that the Bhagwant Mann government had failed to dismantle the networks of drug traffickers and the supply chain that makes drugs available across the state. He said the state government has failed to provide a clear and effective roadmap capable of producing results on the ground. Referring to the cases involving Mohanjeet Singh and Gulzar Singh, the BJP leader added that raising questions before the state government cannot be treated as a crime. He said the allegations surrounding these cases must be properly investigated and accountability must be established wherever wrongdoing is found. Chugh also raised concerns over the wider law and order situation in Punjab, saying citizens as well as police personnel are facing an increasingly difficult security environment. He said that incidents involving gangsters, extortion networks and attacks on police establishments raise serious questions about the state government's ability to maintain law and order. He added that Punjab cannot accept a situation where its young generation is destroyed by drugs. Punjab is sitting on a volcano. If we do not save this generation today, the next generation will pay the price, Chugh said.

Punjab: MP Sahney announces Rs 51 lakh for skill centre in Majitha
Digital Desk | Amritsar, Sep 25 (IANS) Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney on Friday announced a Rs 51 lakh contribution to set up a Skill Development Centre in Majitha, Punjab, as part of his efforts to provide employable skills to young people and create alternatives to drug abuse. Addressing the ongoing Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra, Sahney said the fight against drugs must go beyond awareness campaigns and include opportunities for education, skill development, employment and rehabilitation. If we want to make Punjab truly Nasha Mukt, we have to give our youth a positive direction and meaningful opportunities. A young person with skills, a job and a sense of purpose is far better equipped to stay away from drugs. The Rs 51 lakh contribution for the Skill Centre in Majitha is a step in that direction, he said. He added that the proposed centre would focus on market-oriented vocational training to improve employment prospects and enable young people to earn a dignified livelihood. Our Nasha Mukt Yatra is not merely about asking our youth to stay away from drugs. It is about creating an ecosystem in which they have education, skills, employment and hope. We must replace the culture of drugs with a culture of opportunity, enterprise and self-confidence, Sahney said. Referring to the campaign, he stressed that society must work together to prevent young people from falling into addiction and help those already affected return to productive lives. Punjabs fight against drugs must be accompanied by a determined effort to create jobs, strengthen skills and empower its youth. Punjab has immense talent. Our responsibility is to ensure that this talent finds the right opportunities here, rather than allowing our youth to be trapped by addiction or hopelessness, he added.
