Punjab T20 League: The excitement is building up as the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League 2026 is all set to begin on August 30 at the I.S. Bindra Stadium in Chandigarh. Six teams will battle it out for the coveted title, with some of Punjabs finest cricketing talent set to take centre stage. Among the teams in the competition are the Ludhiana Lions, who have made a major statement by picking Indias left-arm pace sensation Arshdeep Singh as their marquee player. The fast bowler is delighted to be part of the tournament and is looking forward to representing the Lions in what promises to be an exciting season. Speaking about the tournament and his preparations, Arshdeep said, It feels great to be part of the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League. There is a lot of excitement around the tournament, and I am really looking forward to being part of the Ludhiana Lions and this journey. The preparations have been very good so far. We have spent a lot of time working on our skills, understanding our roles and preparing for different match situations. Now, the main focus is to take that confidence from the training ground into the matches, he said. Arshdeep also highlighted the positive atmosphere within the Ludhiana Lions camp, with players pushing each other during the preparation sessions. Everyone has been very serious during the practice sessions. There is healthy competition within the squad, and that is always a good sign for any team. We have also worked on different match situations because T20 cricket can change very quickly. One over, one partnership or one wicket can change the entire game, so the aim is to be ready for every situation and make the right decisions under pressure, he added. With several quality players expected to feature in the tournament, Arshdeep believes the competition will be intense from the very beginning. However, he feels the key will be to stay focused on each game rather than looking too far ahead. The competition is going to be tough because every team has quality players. There are no easy games in T20 cricket, so we will have to be at our best from the first match. We don't want to look too far ahead. The focus will be on taking one game at a time, executing our plans and continuing to improve as the tournament progresses. If we can stay consistent and play according to our plans, hopefully we can have a good campaign, Arshdeep said. The India pacer also spoke about the importance of the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League in providing a platform for young cricketers from the state. With youngsters getting an opportunity to share the dressing room with experienced players, Arshdeep believes the tournament can play an important role in shaping the next generation of Punjab cricketers. For a youngster, playing alongside experienced players can be a huge advantage. There is so much they can learn just by watching how senior players train, how they prepare before a match, and how they handle pressure when the situation is not going their way. These small things can make a big difference in a young player's development, he said. Arshdeep feels the success of the league should not only be measured by the team that lifts the trophy, but also by the number of young players who use the platform to make a name for themselves. For a youngster, playing alongside experienced players can be a huge advantage. There is so much they can learn just by watching how senior players train, how they prepare before a match, and how they handle pressure when the situation is not going their way. These small things can make a big difference in a young player's development, he said.

Carrying the Guru's Word: The Story of Sikhism in Jammu and Kashmir
COMMODORE DS SODHI, NM (Retd) Sikhism, the fifth largest Religion of the world, is a monotheistic faith emphasising the equality, selfless service and meditation on divine. The three pillars of Sikhism are Naam Japo( meditate on Divine) Kirat Karo ( earn honest living through hard work) Vand Chhako(share blessings and wealth with the needy) Sikhism developed from the spiritual teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the nine Other Sikh Gurus who succeeded him. The core belief and practices of Sikhism include faith and meditation in the name of one creator (Aik Onkar), divine unity, equality and engagement in selfless service (Sewa), striving for justice for the benefit and prosperity of all (Sarbat Da Bala). Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited Jammu and Kashmir during his third Udaasi and Pandit Braham Das was the first one to embrace the Sikh faith and later preach it also. The subsequent Gurus took on the responsibility of preaching Sikhism in the region. The preachings of Bhai Gadiya, Bhai Madhodas, Mata Bhag Bhari, Bhai Bano and Bhai Pheroo influenced the Hindus of the hilly areas as well as cities and brought them closer to Guru Nanak's Faith. The preachers also took care of the places of historical importance from where Guru Nanak and Guru Hargobind Sahib had preached as well as carried out discussions with learned people of other faiths. After Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Hargobind Sahib had Guru Har Rai Sahib also visited Jammu and Kashmir and preached Nanak's Faith. It was in the year 1699 AD that Guru Gobind Singh Ji baptised Baba Pheroo with Amrit and named him Bhai Pheroo Singh. Guru Gobind Singh honoured him with the titles Sachi Dari (True Beard) and Sangat Sahib for his pure devotion and honest maintenance of accounts. Guruji assigned him the task of propagating the philosophy of Sikhism in the north-west mountainous region, including Poonch and Kashmir. Bhai Pheroo had set up his Dera ( headquarters) in Rajoieay (Hazara). In order to accomplish his mission, he travelled extensively in Peshawar, Kandhar, Balkh, Chach, Hazara, Pakhli, Attack, Poonch, Muzzafarabad and Kashmir. Bhai Pheroo Singh handed over his duties and seat (Gadi) to Bhai Punjab Singh Ji in the year 1711 AD. Bhai Punjab Singh shifted the headquarters from Rajoieay to Chattar Class in Muzzafarabad. Preaching in the hill areas, he brought many Hindus closer to Sikh faith, educating them to get rid of casteism and other Superstitions. Bhai Punjab Singh visited Mattan in Kashmir when the Mughals were carrying out atrocities on Kashmiri Pandits. Towards the later part of his life, he handed over the duty and the seat to Bhai Rocha Singh Ji in the year 1736 AD. Bhai Rocha Singh had also been baptized with Amrit by Guru Gobind Singh Ji at Sabo Talwandi (now called Damdama Sahib). Bhai Rocha Singh was found of weapons and he always moved with armed men around him. Bhai Rocha Singh shifted his headquarters from Chattar Klass to Rawalakote. During this time the Afghan took control of Kashmir. It was during this period, that Sukhjivanmal got Sikhs and Brahmans from places like Pakhli, Hazara, Frontier, and Pothohar ( their castes Rism , Dutta, Sudan , Sasan, Lau, Kala, Reen, Mehta , Bali etc) to Kashmir. Bhai Rocha Singh had fought with Afghan Forces at Jambazpura on way to Kamraz. He carried out Penance in the jungle of village Shialkot for a long time and presently a Beautiful Gurdwara Sahib commemorating his visit stands tall there. In the year 1803 AD at the age of 115 years, he handed over the duty and seat to Bhai Mela Singh who shifted the headquarters from Rawalakote to Nangali Sahib Poonch. He travelled widely to Shailkot, Muzzafarabad, Mendhar, Kashmir etc. During the Sikh Rule, the movement of preaching Sikhism gathered momentum in Kashmir. Many Hindus who had come to Kashmir for trade embraced Sikhism as also many Kashmiri Pandits (Bhai Almat, MadhoDhar, Tarloknath Raina, Giani Raina) adopted the Sikh faith. After Bhai Mela Singh, Bhai Manna Singh, Bhai Mangal Singh, Bhai Ratan Singh, Bhai Avtar Singh, Bhai Rattan Singh Modi, Bhai Mohar Singh, Bhai Mangal Singh, Mahant Bachatar Singh , Mahant Manjit Singh (at present) carried out the duty from time to time. Mahant Manjit Singh who is presently on the seat at Nangali Sahib in addition to the duty of preaching Sikhism has also embarked on the duty of giving education to the people. He has opened schools and an Engineering college in Jammu. He travels within the country and abroad to spread the message of Sikh faith of living. Sewadars Bhai Punjab Singh, Bhai Phantoo Singh , Bhai Tara Singh carried out the duty from a hill top Saantpura Daney in Muzzafarabad. Bhai Khushal Singh, Bhai Gurdit Singh and Sant Gurbakh Singh also carried out this duty there. Sewadars Sant Bhai Joga Singh, Bhai Diya Singh, Bhai Narain Singh, and Bhai Gurdit Singh were appointed heads of Gufa Waley Santan De Deray . Sant Gurbaksh Singh of village Dana Muzzafarabad also carried out the duty of preaching Sikh Religion in the Jammu Region. Presently Sant Tejwant Singh (alumni of Baba Jhujhar Singh Gurmat Missionary Kendra Ropar Punjab) is carrying out the duty in Jammu. In the year 1931, Sant Gurdit Singh had opened a school in Village Danna Muzzafarabad. Presently, the locals there have upgraded the school to College still maintaining the name. Sant Tejwant Singh is also running a higher secondary school by the name of Sant Gurbaksh Singh Danna International School. Also, a school for underprivileged children named Sant Bhai Kushal Singh Gurmat Vidyalaye Kendra Madbagh is also run by him. He has travelled internationally spreading the message of Sikhism.

J&Ks stock market investor base crosses 14 lakh, grows 19.3% in a year
Jammu and Kashmirs registered investor base in the stock market has crossed the 14-lakh mark, with the number of registered clients reaching 14,12,378 as of August 20, 2026, recording a year-on-year growth of 19.31 per cent, according to official BSE data accessed by Greater Kashmir . The figures show that J&K added 2,28,554 registered clients, or roughly 2.29 lakh investors, during the past year. This represents a substantially faster expansion than the overall growth in the countrys registered investor base, which stood at 15.80 per cent during the same period. The BSE data provides a snapshot of the changing geography of stock-market participation in India, with the countrys total registered investor base now standing at 26,03,00,179, or approximately 26.03 crore clients. J&Ks 14.12 lakh registered clients account for around 0.54 per cent of the countrys total registered investor base. While the Union Territory remains a relatively small market in terms of absolute investor numbers, the pace at which its investor base is expanding has been considerably stronger than several of the countrys largest States. The increase has also been consistent across different time periods. During the latest month, J&K added 19,478 clients, equivalent to around 19,500 new registered investors, pushing its monthly growth rate to 1.40 per cent. Over the previous three months, the number of registered clients increased by 52,618, or about 52,600 investors, representing a quarterly growth of 3.87 per cent. The national investor base, by comparison, increased by around 30.92 lakh during the latest month. Over the previous quarter, the country added approximately 85.16 lakh. Over the previous year, the national registered investor base increased by around 3.55 crore investors, taking the total to more than 26 crore. The comparison shows that J&Ks investor base is growing at a faster rate than the national average, although the absolute numbers remain much smaller. Maharashtra continues to have the largest registered investor base in the country by a considerable margin. The State has approximately 4.42 crore investors. This means that nearly one out of every six registered clients in the BSE database is registered in Maharashtra. Uttar Pradesh occupies the second position with 3,06,10,880 clients, or around 3.06 crore. Gujarat follows with 2,29,70,136, equivalent to about 2.30 crore registered clients. Rajasthan has 1,56,49,037, or around 1.56 crore, while West Bengal has 1,52,56,657, or about 1.53 crore. Karnataka has 1,39,43,659 registered clients, translating into roughly 1.39 crore, while Madhya Pradesh has 1,35,11,046, or around 1.35 crore. Tamil Nadu has 1,31,27,709, or approximately 1.31 crore registered investors. The other major States also have sizeable investor bases. Haryana has 85,72,167 registered clients, equivalent to around 85.7 lakh. Telangana has 80,08,260, or about 80.1 lakh. Punjab has 65,65,556, or approximately 65.7 lakh, while Odisha has 59,30,947, or about 59.3 lakh. Kerala has 59,17,495 registered clients, translating into around 59.2 lakh, while Assam has 53,02,132, or about 53 lakh. Jharkhand has 46,39,195, equivalent to approximately 46.4 lakh. Andhra Pradesh has crossed the one-crore mark, with 1,04,00,527 registered clients, while Bihar has 1,16,04,608, or around 1.16 crore. Delhi has 1,10,14,984, equivalent to approximately 1.10 crore registered clients. Against this national landscape, J&Ks 14.12 lakh investor base is larger than that of several smaller States and Union Territories but remains far below the investor populations of the countrys principal financial and industrial centres. For instance, Himachal Pradesh has around 15.58 lakh registered clients, only marginally above J&K. J&K has more registered clients than Manipur, which has around 2.74 lakh, Meghalaya with 1.65 lakh, Arunachal Pradesh with 1.22 lakh, Nagaland with 1.28 lakh, Sikkim with 84,221, Mizoram with 59,779, Goa with 4.99 lakh and Tripura with 4.28 lakh. Among the Union Territories, Ladakh has 5,213 registered clients, or just over 5,000, but has recorded one of the fastest rates of growth in the country. Its investor base increased by 44.44 per cent over the previous year. This is the highest annual growth rate visible in the BSE table. Mizoram recorded annual growth of 33.18 per cent, while Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh recorded 28.01 per cent and 27.33 per cent, respectively. Lakshadweep, with just over 5,000 registered clients, recorded growth of 27.87 per cent. Among larger States, J&Ks 19.31 per cent annual growth puts it in a relatively strong position. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana each recorded 19.59 per cent growth, while Tamil Nadu recorded 19.46 per cent growth. Uttar Pradesh recorded 19.08 per cent. J&Ks growth was considerably higher than Maharashtras 11.39 per cent, Gujarats 13.13 per cent, Haryanas 14.42 per cent, Punjabs 14.96 per cent, Rajasthans 15.71 per cent, Karnatakas 16.51 per cent and Keralas 16.95 per cent. The figures also indicate that the expansion in J&K has been relatively steady rather than being confined to a single period. Its monthly increase of 1.40 per cent was higher than the national monthly growth of 1.20 per cent, while its quarterly increase of 3.87 per cent was also above the national growth rate of 3.38 per cent. In absolute terms, however, the difference between the largest and smallest investor markets remains enormous. Maharashtras 4.42 crore registered clients are more than 31 times J&Ks 14.12 lakh. Uttar Pradeshs 3.06 crore investor base is more than 21 times that of J&K, while Gujarats 2.30 crore is more than 16 times larger. The national figures also underline the rapid broadening of participation in the equity market. The BSE database now contains more than 26 crore registered clients, with the number having increased by around 3.55 crore in just one year. J&Ks addition of around 2.29 lakh registered clients during the same period is small when measured against the national increase, but significant for the Union Territorys own investor base. In percentage terms, the addition represents nearly one-fifth growth in a single year.

Punjab delegation calls on LG Sinha
Jammu, Aug 20: A public delegation from Punjab, led by S. Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, Member of Legislative Assembly from Ajnala, Amritsar, called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday and briefed him on recurring monsoon overflows from the Ujh River affecting several parts of Punjab. The delegation requested the Lieutenant Governor to take up the matter with the Prime Minister and the Union Minister for Jal Shakti for construction of a suitable dam or reservoir project on River Ujh, or any other technically feasible flood-moderation measure, after undertaking a comprehensive feasibility study and preparation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR). The delegation highlighted that such a project could help regulate and maintain the flow of River Ujh and mitigate flood situations in several districts of Punjab, including Pathankot, Gurdaspur and Amritsar, particularly Ajnala Sub-Division. It was further submitted that besides flood management, a reservoir project could facilitate the storage of excess monsoon water for future use, while also offering potential for hydroelectric power generation and promoting tourism, water-sports and recreational activities in the area. The delegation said the proposed intervention could contribute to long-term water management, strengthen flood resilience and support sustainable economic development in the region. The Lieutenant Governor assured the delegation that the issue would be given due consideration and taken up with the concerned authorities for technical evaluation.
