Harry Boxer's extradition to India may take months due to legal hurdles: CBI sources
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) Bringing Harry Boxer (Hari Chand Jaat) a notorious shooter of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, from the United States to India is unlikely to be an easy task, as investigating agencies may face several legal hurdles and procedural delays. Although he has been detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in California, his extradition could take several months due to legal complications, according to sources. According to CBI sources, Harry Boxer has been detained for immigration violations and not in connection with criminal cases registered against him in India. In the US, he will first have to undergo proceedings before an immigration court, followed by a hearing. Subsequently, India will have to formally submit an extradition dossier under the bilateral Extradition Treaty. The dossier will include forensic evidence, details of FIRs, charge sheets and voice recordings linked to cases registered against him in Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and Mumbai. The CBI told IANS that the extradition process in the US is lengthy, with the accused having ample opportunities to challenge the proceedings in courts. In several cases, accused persons also seek political asylum, which can further delay the process. Another major challenge is that most of the cases registered against Boxer are being investigated by state police agencies. Therefore, documents related to cases from different states will have to be consolidated into a single dossier and forwarded to the Ministry of External Affairs through the CBI. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police Special Cell and the Mumbai Crime Branch have started submitting documents related to the cases against him to central agencies. Officials said that his extradition to India would not be possible until the US court gives the necessary approval. Harry Boxer, has been detained in the United States following inputs and efforts by Indian law enforcement agencies. Indian security and Intelligence agencies had been closely tracking his movements, particularly after the firing incident outside Bollywood film-maker Rohit Shetty's residence in Mumbai. Boxer, a native of Narayanpur village in Rajasthan, earned the nickname due to his earlier association with sports and his background as a boxing coach in Jaipur. He gradually moved away from his sporting and farming background and entered the criminal underworld. He has been absconding since 2022 and eventually fled India to the United States, where Indian agencies continued to track his activities.
Stubble burning cases cross 3,000 mark in Punjab; Tarn Taran tops list

AIIMS Jammu's 20-OT block to boost super-speciality care, reduce patient referrals: Union Minister
Jammu, Nov 07: Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Saturday inaugurated a dedicated block housing 20 state-of-the-art operation theatres at the AIIMS, Jammu, saying the facility would reduce the need for patients to seek advanced medical treatment outside the Union Territory. Speaking to reporters after the inauguration, the minister of state in the Prime Minister's office described the development as another milestone in the medical institute's journey. He also expressed satisfaction over the institute's rapid progress in infrastructure, faculty strength and medical facilities. However, he acknowledged that faculty shortages in certain specialities were limiting resident seats in some departments and occasionally affecting expansion of courses. Singh noted that MD and DM programmes had already been introduced at the institution, adding that faculty-related issues were discussed separately with AIIMS Jammu Director Sanjeev Sinha and were also being taken up in Delhi. Singh said Jammu and Kashmir was perhaps the only Union Territory in the country having two AIIMS, one at Vijaypur in Jammu's Samba and another at Awantipora in Kashmir. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's personal intervention for the establishment of the second AIIMS in Jammu, saying he insisted that if one institution was sanctioned for Srinagar, another should also come up in Jammu. He said the availability of advanced surgical facilities at AIIMS Jammu would reduce the need for patients to travel to other states for specialised treatment and surgeries. Highlighting the progress made over the past eight to ten years, Singh said the institution had expanded its medical facilities and introduced diverse specialities at a pace not commonly witnessed in medical colleges. I believe this institution will develop into a state-of-the-art healthcare centre with integrated facilities, particularly as it also offers AYUSH services. It will serve not only as a referral hospital for the Jammu region but also for neighbouring states, including Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, he said.

After retiring from the Supreme Court, he was appointed as Emeritus Professor at the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) and joined Galgotias University School of Law as an Honorary Distinguished Jurist. His appointment marks the end of the interim arrangement at the appellate tribunal, which deals with appeals arising from orders passed by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

Illegal US migration: Indians remain in top 3
Indian nationals continued to rank as the third-largest group encountered by US border authorities in the 2026 fiscal year, despite a steep decline in illegal migration attempts following President Donald Trump's crackdown on unauthorised immigration.US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data show that 30,528 Indian nationals were encountered by border authorities in FY26, which ran from October 2025 to September 2026. Only Mexican and Canadian nationals recorded higher numbers, with 1,23,439 and 37,700 encounters, respectively.India ranked ahead of China, which recorded 29,818 encounters. The figures indicate that attempts by Indians to enter the US illegally continue despite tougher enforcement and the risks associated with the journey, commonly known as the 'donkey route'.According to sources familiar with illegal immigration networks, a sizeable number of those attempting the journey are from Gujarat, Punjab and Andhra Pradesh. Within Gujarat, people from North and Central Gujarat continue to figure prominently among those seeking to enter the US through unauthorised routes.Illegal migration encounters from India fall nearly 64%135630363The number of Indian nationals encountered at US borders has declined considerably over the past three fiscal years. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded 90,415 encounters involving Indians in FY24. This fell to 34,146 in FY25 and further to 30,528 in FY26, marking a decline of nearly 64% from FY24.The reduction coincides with the Trump administration's tougher immigration enforcement measures. Trump returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, after winning the November 2024 presidential election, with a crackdown on illegal immigration among his administration's major priorities.The decline in Indian encounters is part of a wider fall in unauthorised migration to the US. CBP recorded 3,82,490 border encounters across nationalities in FY26, nearly 45% below the 6,91,906 recorded in FY25. The corresponding figures were considerably higher in FY24 and FY23, at around 29 lakh and 32 lakh, respectively.Among other nationalities, Guatemala accounted for 18,319 encounters, followed by the Philippines with 17,985 and Honduras with 13,005. Brazil recorded 6,285, Russia 5,327 and Venezuela 4,945. Nationals of other countries, grouped, accounted for 63,678 encounters.Gujarat continues to bear the human cost135630381The continuing attempts to reach the US illegally have also resulted in fatalities and disappearances. At least 11 people from Gujarat died and another 11 were injured or went missing between 2022 and 2025 while attempting the journey.One of the most devastating incidents occurred on January 19, 2022, when four members of a family from Dingucha village in Gujarat's Gandhinagar district froze to death near the US-Canada border. Jagdish Patel, 30, his wife Vaishali, 37, and their children Vihang, 13, and Dharmik, aged three, were found dead near Emerson in Manitoba, Canada, around 10 metres from the border. The family had been travelling on foot when they were caught in a blizzard.On March 28, 2023, four members of a family from Manekpura village in Mehsana district drowned after a boat capsized. Another tragedy occurred on May 5, 2025, when two children from Mehsana drowned off the California coast.Despite these incidents, illegal migration networks continue to attract people with the promise of better financial prospects in the US.A source familiar with the networks said, Though people have been shunted out of the US through Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crackdown, a large number of Gujaratis mainly from North and Central Gujarat are sneaking into America for better financial security.The source added that attempts to enter through the Mexican and Canadian borders were continuing, with individuals reportedly paying between Rs 80 lakh and Rs 1.25 crore for the journey.- Reference taken from TOI

New Delhi , Nov 7 : Delhi continued to grapple with hazardous air quality on Saturday morning, with the city's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) standing at 364 at 8 am, according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data. This places the capital in the 'very poor' category (301400), though several stations recorded 'severe' levels (401500). IIT Delhi logged 443, Punjabi Bagh recorded 433, and Narela stood at 409, all in the 'severe' band. Cantonment Area recorded 315, and Dhaula Kuan stood at 318, with Anand Vihar at 272 in the 'very poor' and 'poor' categories. According to the India Meteorological Department, misty conditions prevailed at New Delhi-Safdarjung, where the temperature was 17.0C at 5:30 am. This marks a slight improvement from Friday morning, when the citywide AQI stood at 389. The readings come a day after the Sub-Committee on the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) invoked Stage 3 across Delhi-NCR, two days ahead of Diwali, to prevent further deterioration. According to the CPCB, an AQI between 301 and 400 falls under the very poor category, while readings between 401 and 500 are classified as severe. With Stage-III measures now in force, the existing curbs will continue alongside additional measures, including stricter pollution-control steps, increased enforcement and directions to concerned agencies to prevent further deterioration in air quality. The emergency action planwhich applies across Delhi and adjoining districts of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthanis invoked as a precautionary measure based on meteorological and pollution forecasts from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), ensuring restrictions are placed before citywide Air Quality Index (AQI) levels breach the 'Severe' 401 mark. GRAP is a four-stage emergency framework managed by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in coordination with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and regional state governments, with restrictions becoming progressively stricter as air quality worsens. Under Stage I, triggered when the AQI is between 201 and 300 and categorised as 'poor', the focus is on road dust control, enforcing pollution norms and banning open waste burning. Stage II kicks in when AQI is between 301 and 400, or 'very poor', bringing enhanced dust control, higher parking fees and staggered office timings. Stage III is invoked when AQI reaches 401 to 450, classified as 'severe', and entails strict vehicle bans, halting of construction and hybrid learning for primary schools. Stage IV, for AQI above 450 categorised as 'severe plus', involves a ban on heavy goods vehicles and emergency traffic and industrial restrictions. The activation of Stage III introduces high-impact measures targeted at curbing emissions and dust, operating concurrently with existing Stage I and Stage II mandates. Strict bans are enforced on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel four-wheelers across Delhi and designated NCR districts. The revised framework also tightens restrictions on older light/medium goods vehicles and non-Delhi-registered diesel commercial vehicles entering the capital. All non-essential, highly dust-generating construction, major excavations, earthwork, demolition, and road construction are suspended. Permitted essential projects must follow rigorous dust-mitigation protocols. Heavy dust-generating operations, including stone crushers and mining activities, face immediate shutdown or operational restrictions. School Operations: Guidelines allow education authorities to shift primary classes (up to Class 5) to a hybrid learning model, combining physical classroom and online instruction to reduce children's exposure to toxic air. Authorities are augmenting public transportation frequencyadding extra Metro trips and deploying additional busesto absorb commuter demand and discourage private vehicle use. Stage III serves as a vital circuit-breaker designed to prevent air quality from escalating into the dangerous Stage 4 ('Severe+') territory. By targeting primary sources of particulate matterspecifically PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen oxidesthe restrictions reduce public health risks related to respiratory illnesses and cardiovascular stress, particularly among vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. While GRAP operates as an emergency intervention, CAQM officials emphasise that these 48 coordinated action items across all four stages underscore the long-term necessity of regional coordination, cleaner transport adoption, and sustainable urban waste management.

The Violation of Silence: When the Dead Can No Longer Rest in Peace
Medical facilities and burial grounds are built on a deeply sacred promise: that human dignity will be preserved, in life as well as in death. Across the globe, however, regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies occasionally uncover troubling networks operating in the darker corners of healthcare and body disposal serviceswhere living patients, deceased bodies, and grave keepsakes are reduced to commodities for illicit profit. Operating Table Exploitation: Live Organ Rackets Organ trafficking rings often target vulnerable populations through deception, coerced procedures, or forged documentation, exploiting regulatory loopholes in private healthcare environments. Underground Surgical Labs (Pakistan) Law enforcement agencies in the Punjab region dismantled major organ harvesting networks after rescuing victims from makeshift surgical units where organ removals were being conducted secretly for commercial sale. Unauthorized Hospital Operations (Pakistan) Federal investigators in major urban centers have conducted raids on private healthcare facilities, apprehending staff members involved in carrying out unauthorized organ removals under the guise of routine clinical treatment. Metropolitan Commercial Rackets (India) In major metropolitan healthcare hubs, high-profile investigations revealed illicit networks operating within private medical centers. Impoverished individuals from rural areas were lured under false promises of employment, only to be pressured into surrendering organs for wealthy buyers. International Facilities In Eastern Europe, international investigations centered on a private facility where doctors lured donors with promises of financial compensation, secretly conducting organ harvesting procedures for foreign recipients. Theft Beyond Life: Mortuary and Post-Mortem Harvesting Disturbingly, black-market activity extends beyond living patients into post-mortem spaces, where the illicit extraction of tissues, bones, and organs from mortuaries remains a global concern. Mortuary Attendant Rackets (India) Undercover investigations at local post-mortem facilities revealed instances of attendants secretly removing tissues and organs from deceased bodies prior to handing them over to grieving families. The Tissue Supply Syndicate (United States) One of the largest documented post-mortem theft networks operated across several states, where tissue harvesting firms illegally removed bones, skin, and organs from hundreds of corpses at local funeral homes without family consent, forging authorization papers to sell the materials to supply companies. Desecration of Resting Grounds In some regions, the breach of dignity extends directly to burial grounds, targeting both human remains and emotional keepsakes. Recent Canadian Gravesite Theft (Ontario, Canada) Officers recently arrested a resident following an extensive investigation into thefts at a local cemetery. Over 20 grieving families reported missing memorial itemsincluding lanterns, potted plants, and personal tributes. A search warrant led to the recovery of dozens of stolen keepsakes, illustrating how even simple tokens left for deceased loved ones can fall victim to desecration. The Skeletal Trade (India) Authorities in southern regions arrested cemetery workers and middlemen who systematically exhumed remains from long-buried graves to supply human skeletons to illegal trade networks. A Reassuring Picture in Jammu & Kashmir Amid these troubling global reports, we in Jammu & Kashmir are fortunate that no such institutional organ theft cases, mortuary desecrations, or organized grave-robbing networks have ever been reported or recorded. Official efforts across the region focus purely on proactive administrative oversightenforcing strict licensing under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act to preserve legal compliance and institutional transparency. Authorities also consistently advise the public against viral online hoaxes regarding hospital organ theft, which tend to surface during public health emergencies, ensuring that public trust in local healthcare institutions remains intact. Conclusion The illegal organ trade and cemetery desecration represent a complex intersection of economic vulnerability, medical corruption, and criminal opportunism. Combating this shadow economy requires stringent regulatory oversight, transparent organ donation frameworks, and unwavering commitment to preserving human dignity everywhere.

Bikram Majithia likens PCS exam row to NEET irregularities, appeals CJP, Cong and BJP to unite
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 6 (IANS) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Friday drew similarities between the alleged irregularities in the Punjab Civil Services (PCS) Mains 2025 examination and the NEET 2026 exam, while appealing the Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to unite against it. The results of the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) Main Examination were declared on November 4, with candidates alleging irregularities, fraud, and corruption soon after the announcement. Speaking to IANS, Majithia said: Today I will appeal to everyoneCongress, BJP, and CJP... if NEET was a rallying point at Jantar Mantar, this PCS recruitment should become a rallying point in Punjab. He added that whether it is Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) or anyone else, no one has the right to leave out deserving candidates and give important government posts to undeserving ones, especially because they are meant to shape the direction and condition of Punjab in the coming times. In an apparent reference to AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal, Majithia said: People sitting in Delhi cannot engage in Punjab's recruitment process because it is a matter related to the state. However, the SAD leader clarified that doubts should not be placed on all those who passed the examination. Citing the concerns of the candidates who raised allegations over the exam results, Majithia said: Some of them are gold medalists, some don't even have parents, how much struggle they might have gone through, how they showed courage, and now they are sharing that there was no transparency in this exam. He claimed that there have been nine to ten recruitment examinations under the AAP-led Punjab government which have been either stayed by the court, or a Vigilance Enquiry has been called into or the examination got cancelled because of paper leak, cheating or cancellation. Reiterating the students' demand for a CBI enquiry into the PCS exam, the SAD leader said: If irregularities take place even in the recruitment of Gazetted officers, then it needs a CBI enquiry...we will soon approach the High Court. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Thursday, also alleged irregularities and corruption in the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) Main Examination, accusing the AAP government of running a paper leak mafia under the directions of party chief Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 6 (IANS) In a major breakthrough, Punjab Polices Counter Intelligence (CI) Amritsar has busted a cross-border narcotics smuggling network with the arrest of four individuals, including a juvenile, and recovered 36 kg of heroin from their possession, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Friday. Those arrested have been identified as Sahil Singh, a resident of Ghanupur in Amritsar; Paramjeet Singh and Kamalpal Singh, both residents of Rajasansi in Amritsar; and a juvenile. Accused Paramjeet Singh has a criminal background and has been facing three cases under the NDPS Act. Apart from recovering a massive haul of heroin, police teams have also impounded two motorcycles used in the logistical movement of the narcotics consignment. DGP Yadav said preliminary investigation has revealed that the accused were allegedly acting on the instructions of a foreign-based handler. The latter was facilitating delivery of heroin consignments near the India-Pakistan border in the Lopoke area and supplying them to other parties through his operatives, he said. Sharing operational details, he said that CI Amritsar had received specific intelligence that the four associates of the foreign-based handler had retrieved a huge consignment of drone-smuggled heroin from the Lopoke border area and they are expected to hand over the contraband to another party somewhere on the Amritsar-Lopoke Road. Acting swiftly, police teams conducted a raid and intercepted Sahil Singh, Paramjeet Singh, Kamalpal Singh and the juvenile near the Bharatmala highway bridge and recovered 36 kg of heroin along with impounding their motorcycles. The DGP said further investigation is underway to uncover the complete network in this case. A first information report (FIR) under Sections 21, 25 and 29 of the NDPS Act has been registered at Police Station State Special Operation Cell in Amritsar.

The next phase of the programme is focused on six strategic pillars, including chip design, semiconductor equipment and materials, fabrication units, ATMP/OSAT facilities, research and development, and talent development. With the launch of the portal, applications have gone live for Pillars 2, 3 and 4, which focus on machines and materials, new semiconductor fabrication facilities, and further strengthening of the assembly, testing, marking and packaging ecosystem. Highlighting the progress made under the first phase of the programme, the government said 12 semiconductor projects with cumulative investments exceeding Rs 1.64 lakh crore have been approved across six states, with five of them already commencing commercial production as of October 2026. The semiconductor ecosystem has also expanded through startup and academic participation. According to the government, 105 startups have received access to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, 24 startups have been supported through funding, while 15 startups have secured venture capital investments. In addition, 332 academic institutions have been provided EDA tools under the Chips to Startup (C2S) programme, helping train around 70,000 students. Alongside the Semicon 2.0 launch, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology approved 12 additional projects under ECMS involving projected investments of Rs 7,503 crore. The approved projects are expected to generate production worth Rs 39,045 crore and create 7,127 direct jobs. The latest approvals come after clearance of 106 applications involving investments of Rs 69,548 crore announced earlier under the scheme. The newly approved projects span components, supply chain products and capital goods. They include manufacturing of multilayer printed circuit boards, relays, heat sinks and specialty ceramics, as well as key supply-chain products such as copper foil, anode material, cathode active material, polypropylene film and camera rims. The projects are spread across Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, expanding the geographical footprint of India's electronics component manufacturing sector. The government said the approvals include first-time support under ECMS for copper foil, cathode active material and specialty ceramics, broadening the range of electronics components and upstream materials being produced domestically. Speaking at the event, Vaishnaw said India's electronics manufacturing industry has moved beyond basic assembly operations and is increasingly building capabilities across modules, components, materials and advanced technologies. He noted that the country is developing strengths in areas such as battery cells, copper foils, copper-clad laminates and advanced printed circuit boards, while government schemes are creating opportunities for MSMEs.
Ishant Sharma Picked, Nitish Rana Left Out Of Delhis Squad For Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Veteran fast bowler Ishant Sharma has been named in Delhis 16-member squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, while experienced left-handed batter Nitish Rana has been left out, said the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Friday. The squad was picked at a meeting of the senior mens selection committee held at the DDCA premises on Friday afternoon. Selectors K. Bhaskar Pillai, Manu Nayar and Praveen Gupta were present, along with head coach Vijay Dahiya, Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) chairman Sarandeep Singh and DDCA secretary Ashok Sharma. Ishants selection is a clear sign that the senior right-arm pacer, who has played more than 100 Tests, is keen to carry on playing domestic white-ball cricket for Delhi. His experience should also be valuable for fellow fast bowlers Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, and Simarjeet Singh. IANS understands that Rana might play one game for Delhi in order to see if hes fully fit after undergoing extensive rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Rana has been named in the India A squad for the Mens Rising Stars Asia Cup, to be played in the 50-over format from November 19 to 29 in Doha, Qatar. Rana has not played any cricket since a hamstring injury sustained in the third T20I against England, which ruled him out of the series. He was a conditional pick for the T20Is against Afghanistan and the Asian Games, but Rana suffered a left quadriceps strain during a match simulation at the CoE on September 7, which in turn extended his rehab period. Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni will lead Delhi in the tournament and will open their Elite Group B campaign against Jammu and Kashmir in Indore on November 14. Badoni ended the first phase of the Ranji Trophy as the second-highest run-scorer with 559 runs in four games, coming at an average of 111.8, including hitting 210 not out and 217 against Gujarat and Jharkhand, respectively. The spin options include leg-spinner Suyash Sharma and mystery spinner Digvesh Rathi, while Mayank Rawat and Keshav Dabas are the all-rounders. In the batting department, Badoni will be joined by opener Priyansh Arya, former India U-19 captain Yash Dhull, Himmat Singh, Sarthak Ranjan and Ayush Doseja. Anuj Rawat and Tejasvi are the two wicketkeepers in the side. After the opening game, Delhi will face Punjab on November 16, before taking on Bihar (November 18), Saurashtra (November 20), Haryana (November 22), Tamil Nadu (November 24) and Railways (November 26). Delhi won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy only once in the 2017/18 season under Pradeep Sangwans leadership. The spin options include leg-spinner Suyash Sharma and mystery spinner Digvesh Rathi, while Mayank Rawat and Keshav Dabas are the all-rounders. In the batting department, Badoni will be joined by opener Priyansh Arya, former India U-19 captain Yash Dhull, Himmat Singh, Sarthak Ranjan and Ayush Doseja. Anuj Rawat and Tejasvi are the two wicketkeepers in the side. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Karmabhoomi Express catches fire in Punjab, 4 coaches affected; 1,500 passengers escape unhurt
Patiala, Nov 6: More than 1,500 passengers had a narrow escape after a fire broke out in the Karmabhoomi Express near Sarai Banjara railway station in Punjab's Patiala district on Friday, engulfing three coaches and partially damaging a fourth, officials said. The train, travelling from Amritsar to West Bengal's New Jalpaiguri, was immediately brought to a halt after the fire was detected, and the affected coaches were detached from the rest of the train to prevent the blaze from spreading. No casualty or injury was reported. According to officials, the fire broke out on the Rajpura-Sirhind railway section when the train was passing near Sarai Banjara railway station. Eyewitnesses and local residents who rushed to the spot said thick smoke could be seen billowing into the sky as the coaches caught fire. The passengers rushed out of the affected coaches and managed to escape safely. Senior railway officials, who reached the spot, said the fire initially broke out in one coach but spread to other coaches due to strong winds. Initially, it was one coach, but as wind was blowing at speed (and as fire spread), a total of four coaches were affected, Ambala Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Vinod Kumar Bhatia told reporters. Three general coaches were primarily affected by the fire, while a fourth coach suffered minor damage, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager of Ambala Division of Northern Railways Yashanjit Singh said. The train was unreserved, Singh said, adding that alternate arrangements had been made to ensure passengers reached their destination safely by another train. Asked about the cause of the fire, Singh said, It is a matter of inquiry. Bhatia said both overhead equipment (OHE) lines were shut down after the fire was detected. The guard and loco pilot separated the affected coaches from the rest of the train to prevent the blaze from spreading. The guard also informed the control room, following which trains operating on other lines were regulated, he said. The cause of the fire will be investigated, officials said.
Shameless self-clean chit on PCS (Mains) exams, claims Punjab BJP
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 6 (IANS) Punjab BJP President, Kewal Singh Dhillon, on Friday rejected the Punjab Public Service Commissions (PPSC) clarification regarding the controversial PCS (Mains) examination results and alleged that it was a shameless self-clean chit designed to shield influential politicians. Dhillon said the Punjab governments recruitment machinery has been completely compromised, turning competitive exams into systematic rackets where merit is sacrificed. Responding to the PPSC Chairmans statement dismissing irregularities as statistical misinterpretations, he pointed out that an agency facing grave allegations cannot sit in judgment of its own conduct. How can the accused become the judge? The PPSCs internal justification is nothing but an orchestrated cover-up, Dhillon claimed. He alleged, No amount of mathematical jugglery can convince the youth of Punjab that 10 to 11 candidates clearing from a single examination hall and clusters of consecutive roll numbers qualifying in a subjective, descriptive exam like PCS (Mains) is mere coincidence. Why is the commission afraid of an independent forensic audit if everything was above board? he asked. Connecting the PCS controversy to the broader crisis of recruitment integrity in the state, Dhillon reminded the Chief Minister of the Pharmacy Officer (Pharmacist) recruitment examination, where an organised interstate cheating racket involving wireless spy devices, hidden pen cameras, and real-time dictation was busted, leading to dozens of arrests and subsequent High Court intervention. First, it was the Pharmacist recruitment exam, where government jobs were virtually put on sale with high-tech cheating devices and paper-leak mafias running rampant. Now, Punjabs premier civil services examination has been tainted with identical suspicion. This is not an isolated lapse; it is a recurring pattern of corruption under the Aam Aadmi Party regime that has shattered the trust of lakhs of hardworking, educated youth. The Mann governments tall claims of zero tolerance and merit-based recruitment lie exposed as a monumental fraud, Dhillon said. The state BJP chief demanded to hand over both the PCS (Mains) irregularities and the recruitment scandals, including the pharmacist recruitment scam, to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the direct supervision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Digital Desk | Ujjain, Nov 6 (IANS) Thousands of devotees visited the historic Gajalakshmi Temple in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain on Dhanteras on Friday, where the idol of Goddess Lakshmi was given a special 501-litre milk abhishek and adorned with a grand decoration featuring currency garlands worth Rs 40 lakh. The temple, believed to house a 2,000-year-old idol of Goddess Lakshmi, witnessed a large influx of devotees who arrived to offer prayers and seek blessings for wealth and prosperity on the auspicious occasion. Speaking to IANS, Temple priest Animesh Sharma said devotees across the country celebrate Dhanteras by worshipping and adorning Goddess Lakshmi. As part of the special decorations this year, the deity was adorned with currency notes worth Rs 40 lakh, apart from the traditional offerings and ornaments. Sharma said devotees were also given prasad consisting of rice grains mixed with turmeric and vermilion. The devotees can preserve the sacred offering at their homes or business establishments as a symbol of blessings and prosperity. Meanwhile, in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur, devotees thronged the ancient Shri Kuber Dham to offer prayers to Lord Kuber, regarded as the deity of wealth and prosperity. A priest at the temple said devotees began arriving as early as 4 a.m. to seek blessings and pray for financial well-being and prosperity. Long queues were seen outside the temple, with devotees visiting in large numbers, performing special pujas with their families and offering prayers before the deity. Mandsaur Collector Divyank Singh also visited the ancient temple, offered prayers and extended greetings to people on the occasion of Dhanteras. The festive spirit was also visible in markets across the country, with Dhanteras traditionally considered an auspicious occasion for purchasing utensils, gold, silver and other household items.

Washington, Nov 06: Democrat Ranjeev Puri has been elected as the Speaker of the Michigan House, the first Indian-American to hold the coveted post. Today, Im humbled to be elected by my colleagues as Speaker of the Michigan House, Puri said in a Facebook post on Thursday.

Thank you to my colleagues for your trust. Excited to get to work, he said. Puri became the first Sikh American elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2020. Born to Punjabi immigrants, Puri was appointed as the leader of the Democratic Party in the Republican-controlled 110-member House of Representatives in 2025. When my parents immigrated to this country, they couldnt have imagined their son would one day make history, break barriers and lead the Michigan House. That is the promise of America, Puri said.

He later earned his MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and returned to Michigan, where he worked in the automotive industry. In his third term as a member of the state House, Puri was appointed as the leader of the democratic party in the House in 2025. Congratulations to Ranjeev Puri on his reelection and on being elected Speaker-Elect by his colleagues.

Patel said at a time of rising hate targeting South Asians, Puri will also fight to protect communities and all Michiganders, and to stop the Trump and 'MAGA' agenda. With Ranjeev leading the caucus, we have no doubt they will lower costs and make life more affordable for Michigan families. Impact was an early supporter of Ranjeev, and we are proud to call him a friend. We look forward to working with him to deliver for Michigan, Patel said.
