Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has reacted to the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai, describing it as a never before seen phenomenon. In his remarks, Varma drew attention to what he believes could be an unusual motive behind the attack, suggesting that the unidentified assailants may have been driven by vanity and pride rather than reasons typically associated with criminal shootings.

Rajasthan Cong leaders stage all-night sit-in, seek FIR in alleged assault on NSUI worker
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 20 (IANS) The alleged assault on NSUI activist Ritu Barala during a protest against vote theft in Delhi has triggered a political confrontation in Rajasthan, with the Congress demanding the registration of an FIR in Jaipur. Rajasthan Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra, along with party leaders and a legal team, staged an overnight sit-in at the Jaipur Police Commissionerate on Monday. Congress leaders and workers remained at the Commissionerate throughout the night, both inside and outside the premises. Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot also visited the protest site. Dotasra announced that the party would gherao the Police Commissionerate on Tuesday and called upon Congress workers from across the state to reach Jaipur. Dotasra maintained that Congress would not withdraw its protest until an FIR was registered in the case. The party has also raised questions over the police administrations handling of the complaint. Leader of the Opposition Tikaram Jully questioned the state government, asking who had tied the hands of the police administration and prevented it from registering an FIR. What is the BJP government's problem with delivering justice to a daughter of this state? Jully asked, warning that the Congress would neither retreat nor bow down until an FIR was registered in the Ritu Barala case. Earlier, Ritu Barala, accompanied by Congress leaders and a legal team, approached the Moti Dungri police station and submitted a written complaint to the Station House Officer, seeking registration of an FIR. However, no separate FIR was registered. Around 6.15 p.m. on Monday, Congress leaders reached the Police Commissionerate. Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal was not present at the time. Dotasra spoke to him over the phone and demanded the registration of a Zero FIR against the accused, insisting that the protesters would not leave until their demand was addressed. Gehlot arrived at the Commissionerate late Monday night from Jodhpur but left shortly afterwards. Among those who participated in the overnight sit-in were MLAs Rafiq Khan and Amin Kagzi, former Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas, NSUI National President Vinod Jakhar, State Womens Congress President Sarika Singh, War Room Chairman Jaswant Gurjar, Rajendra Yadav, Media Chairperson Swarnim Chaturvedi and Jaipur City Congress President Sunil Sharma. According to Dotasra, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had called him and directed him to ensure that an FIR was registered in Jaipur in connection with the case. Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal said the incident had taken place in Delhi and a complaint had already been filed with the Delhi Police. He said police in other states had registered Zero FIRs and forwarded them to Delhi for further investigation. Multiple FIRs cannot be registered for the same incident, Mittal said, adding that the complainants had been informed that their complaint was on record. Information would be sought from the Delhi Police and the state police that registered the Zero FIR to facilitate the investigation. The Congress, however, remained firm on its demand and announced plans to intensify its protest on Tuesday.
Tiger Shroff firing case: Three suspects to be taken to Mumbai from Kota under tight security
Digital Desk | Kota, Oct 20 (IANS) The three suspects held in connection with the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai will be taken to Mumbai, Maharashtra, by the Mumbai Police on Tuesday. The suspects were kept overnight in the lock-up of the Kota Railway Colony police station in Rajasthan under tight security amid concerns over their possible escape. As a precautionary measure, commandos and armed personnel were deployed at the police station. The entire CCTV surveillance network of the police station was connected to a command centre to ensure continuous monitoring of the suspects and strengthen security arrangements. City Superintendent of Police Tejaswini Gautam also visited the Railway Colony police station late Monday night to review the security arrangements. The Mumbai Police had earlier postponed the transfer of the suspects from Kota due to security concerns. The three remained in custody throughout the night under heightened surveillance. According to the police, the three suspects were apprehended by Kota Police at the railway station on Monday in connection with the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroffs car in Mumbai. The suspects were travelling on the Pune-Jaipur train (12939) and were found sitting at different locations in a general coach. Their movements and travel plans allegedly indicated that they were attempting to evade arrest after the incident. Investigators believe the suspects had planned to reach Jaipur by train, travel onward to Delhi by bus and then escape to Nepal. However, Kota Police intercepted them at the railway station before they could proceed with their alleged plan. Following their apprehension, the suspects were taken to the Railway Colony police station, where security was significantly tightened in view of the sensitivity of the case and the possibility of an escape attempt. The Mumbai Police are scheduled to leave Kota with the three suspects on Tuesday for further investigation into the firing incident. The transfer is expected to enable investigators to question them further and establish their alleged roles in the case. The deployment of armed personnel, enhanced CCTV monitoring, and the presence of senior police officials underline the security measures adopted by Kota Police while the suspects remained in custody. Further details about the investigation and the circumstances surrounding the firing incident are expected to emerge as the Mumbai Police proceed with the case.
3 detained in Tiger Shroff firing case, 1 linked to Bishnoi gang aide: Police
New Delhi, Oct 19: Three people, including a minor, have been detained in Rajasthans Kota in connection with the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car in Mumbai, with one of them allegedly in contact with an associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, police said on Monday. The suspects were detained at Kota railway station from the Pune-Jaipur Superfast Express in a joint operation involving Mumbai Police, Rajasthan Police and railway police. They were allegedly planning to flee to Nepal, Kota Superintendent of Police Tejaswani Gautam said at a press conference. Gautam said one of the suspects was in contact with Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Bishnoi gang, which claimed responsibility for Sundays attack in an unverified social media post, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported. According to NE India Today, police sources said the suspects had allegedly received Rs 50,000 in advance for the attack. Two of them are from Haryana and one from Bihar. Their identities have been established and they are being questioned to determine their individual roles in the shooting. Earlie, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said Mumbai Police had obtained important leads and would soon arrest those involved in the firing as well as their handlers. Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis said such acts would not be tolerated and assured that the police would track down everyone involved in the incident.
Ethics is not optional in civil service
A civil servants authority is borrowed. It comes from the people, through the Constitution, and it is held in trust for their welfare. The moment it is used to humiliate rather than to serve, it stops being authority and becomes mere power. The controversy now unfolding in Jammu and Kashmir should be read in that light. A senior IAS officer stands accused of verbally abusing a junior woman officer of the Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service (JKAS) in an official review meeting, an allegation he disputes. The facts are for the governments inquiry to establish. But the episode points to something larger that anyone who deals with government will recognise: a drift, in parts of the civil service, from welfare towards power, and from service towards authority. Most officers do not behave this way. The concern is a culture that allows some of them to, without consequence. The irony is hard to miss. Since 2013, the main examination for the IAS has carried a compulsory 250-mark paper, Ethics, Integrity and Aptitude, and the JKAS examination carries the same paper. Since 2014, the conduct rules for All India Services officers have required them to maintain high ethical standards, responsiveness to the public, particularly the weaker sections, and courtesy and good behaviour. Ethics is not optional to enter the civil service. It cannot become optional once an officer is inside it. We must remember what these services are for. Being an IAS or JKAS officer is not about making reels, building a social media image or enjoying the trappings of a chair. It is about executing authority for peoples welfare. Indias highest examination does not hand anyone absolute power; it hands them a trust, held on behalf of the farmer, the unemployed graduate and the young person waiting on a government scheme for a loan. I have sat through many meetings and review sessions in my own work. What I have always felt is that the review meeting has quietly become a theatre of hierarchy rather than a tool of governance. Targets are read out, numbers are questioned, and too often the loudest voice in the room is mistaken for the most competent one. Juniors learn to stay silent, and silence is the most expensive thing a government can buy, because it hides problems until they become failures. This is not a Kashmiri problem alone; an officer in any state will recognise the room. This is where the decline hurts the people most. An officer who rules a meeting through fear will not hear the truth about why loans are stuck, why a scheme is failing or why a village has been left out. When authority replaces ethics inside the office, welfare is the first casualty outside it. An office that cannot protect the dignity of its own officers will not protect the dignity of the citizen waiting at its door. Yet within hours, the debate on this episode split along familiar lines: IAS versus JKAS, outsider versus native, Kashmiri versus non-Kashmiri. Some voices on social media began demanding that the officer be sent back, as if people from elsewhere are somehow less human and we are above them. Some of the anger has a real context, since control over IAS officers in the Union Territory rests with the Lieutenant Governor rather than the elected government. But this reaction is intellectual bankruptcy, and it lets the real wrong slip away. I am not making an argument of IAS versus JKAS. If a Kashmiri secretary spoke this way to a junior from Bihar or Rajasthan, the act would be exactly as wrong; so would a JKAS officer humiliating a clerk or a patwari (village revenue official). Every human has a morality and a conscience, and as Immanuel Kant reminded us, persons have dignity, not a price, and must never be treated merely as a means. Abuse does not change its character with the abusers domicile or the victims cadre. To make it a question of origin is tribalism wearing the clothes of outrage. None of this is to deny that senior officers work under real pressure. Flagship schemes come with hard targets, reviews are relentless, and a secretary answers for every lag in every district. Frustration in a review meeting is understandable. But pressure may explain a raised voice; it never justifies abuse. What Kashmir needs, and what Indias bureaucracy needs, is professionalism: the discipline of disagreeing on facts without attacking persons, and of using authority as a responsibility rather than a weapon. Even when a junior speaks out of turn, the answer is a written record and due process, never public humiliation. It also means a person needs to be assigned the job he or she is capable of doing. Managing people is a skill, not a privilege of seniority, and postings should weigh temperament and conduct as seriously as batch and seniority. Juniors, in turn, need a way to report humiliation without fearing for their careers. So let the inquiry be impartial, let its findings be made public, and let accountability follow the facts, whatever cadre they point to. But the larger task is ours. Ethics has to be adopted, not as a paper to be cleared or a rule to be cited, but as the everyday practice of power in the service of people. The question before us is not where an officer comes from. It is whether he, or she, governs for the welfare of the people. On that question, there must be a single standard, applied to everyone.

Nagaland Cricket Stadium: Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar became only the second batter in Ranji Trophy history to hit a quadruple century, while Delhi captain Ayush Badoni struck a double hundred and India batters Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar notched up centuries on an eventful day two of the second round of the Ranji Trophy on Monday. Playing in just his second first-class match, Sutar remained unbeaten on 400 against Nagaland in a Plate group game at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima, and become only the second Indian to score a quadruple hundred in first-class cricket. The left-hander went past Prithvi Shaw's 379 to post the second-highest individual score in the history of the competition. Only Bhausaheb Nimbalkar's unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948-49 remains ahead of him. Sutar was on 392 at tea and brought up his 400 in the 155th over, prompting Mizoram to declare at 581/9. He faced 517 balls in all and struck 46 fours and seven sixes. Mizoram, who ended day one on 331/5, slipped to 391/9 and Sutar was on 231 when last man Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak joined him. The pair put on an unbroken 190-run stand to take the game away from Nagaland. It has entered the record books as the third-highest last-wicket partnership in Ranji Trophy history, 43 runs short of the record 233 set by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai in 1991-92. Sutar also became only the 10th batter to score 400 or more in a first-class innings, joining a list that features batting greats such as Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Sutar made his Ranji debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener against Manipur after obtaining a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). He scored 35 and 99 in that game, as Mizoram recovered from a 68-run first-innings deficit before going down narrowly by three wickets. Sutar had played for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy last season on the back of strong showings in Mumbai's local leagues. By the time stumps were called in Sovima, Nagaland reached 50/1. Elsewhere in the Plate group, Parth Palawat and Nilesh Lamichaney scored hundreds as Sikkim piled up 477/4 against Arunachal Pradesh's 121.

Chanchal Rathore and Shubham Sharma also made half-centuries for Madhya Pradesh. Ravikumar Samarth's 143 rescued Vidarbha in a sensational fashion and took them past Jammu and Kashmir's 260, with number nine Rajneesh Gurbani making an unbeaten 64. Umar Nazir and Sunil Kumar took four wickets each for the hosts and leave Vidarbha at 133/7, before Samarth bailed Vidarbha out of trouble. Nachiket Bhute then rocked J&K's top order to leave them reeling at 7/4 in Srinagar, as the defending champions still trail by 38 runs. In Kanpur, Zeeshan Ansari's five-wicket haul helped Uttar Pradesh bowl out Goa for 164 and take a 38-run lead. At stumps, UP reached 102/4 in their second innings. Priyanshu Moliya's 132, backed by fifties from Mahesh Pithiya and Deepak Hooda, gave Baroda a 250-run lead over Bihar. At stumps, Bihar reached 4/0 in one over of their second innings and still trail by 246 runs. In Group B, Salil Arora (107 off 226 balls) and skipper Uday Saharan (161 off 299 balls) steered Punjab to 456 against Chhattisgarh, with Arora scoring his second hundred in as many games. Left-arm spinner Dharmendrasinh Jadeja sent down nearly 56 overs for his seven wickets, but got little support from the rest of the attack. Harpreet Brar then ripped through the Chhattisgarh batting with 5-21 in just eight overs, and leave the visitors at 76/5 at stumps, as they still trail by 384 runs. At Alur, resuming on 281/8, Karnataka were bowled out for 342, with Manvanth Kumar hitting 135 off 214 balls, including 11 fours and six sixes, in what is also his maiden first-class century. Saurashtra's openers Hetvik Kotak (46 off 127 balls) and Harvik Desai (77 off 78 balls) gave a strong start with a 110-run stand. Karnataka, however, hit back either side of tea to reduce the visitors to 128/4, before Arpit Vasavada (25 batting) and Prerak Mankad (13 batting) took them to 164/4 at stumps, as Saurashtra are still 178 runs behind. Tanay Thyagarajan continued his fine start to the season with a five-wicket haul as Hyderabad bowled out Andhra for 184 to take a 91-run lead. Hyderabad were 78/2 at stumps. Assam bowled out Tripura for 62, with Mukhtar Hussain taking 3-23, as the hosts enforced the follow-on. Tripura were 143/5 in their second innings at stumps, but are still 129 runs behind. In Group C, Badoni's 217 off 246 balls powered Delhi to declare at 648/6 against Gujarat, with Sumit Mathur and Anuj Rawat also scoring half-centuries. Gujarat ended the day on 98/2 in 35 overs and trail by 550 runs in Palam. Shahbaz Ahmed and Aamir Gani took four wickets apiece as Bengal dismissed Services for 122. Left-arm spinner Rahul Singh then claimed five wickets to bowl Bengal out for 146 in their second innings, leaving Services needing 209 to win and they reached 12/0 in five overs at stumps. Mohammed Azharuddeen remained unbeaten on 139 as Kerala made 404 against Odisha, while sharing a 99-run stand with Aditya Sarvate, who also scored a fifty. Odisha were 114/3 and trail Kerala by 290 runs. Digvijay Patil's 148 and another century from Ankit Bawne took Maharashtra to 403/5 and get a lead of 234 runs against Jharkhand. In Group D, Sarfaraz's unbeaten 139 off 213 balls, his 18th first-class hundred laced with 18 fours, put Mumbai in complete control at 398/4 against Himachal Pradesh at the Luhnu Cricket Ground, Bilaspur and stretch their lead to 258. Captain Siddhesh Lad (87 off 188 balls) and Musheer Khan (57 off 137 balls) had earlier put on 122 runs for the third wicket. Lad shared a 68-run stand with Sarfaraz for the fourth wicket, while Sarfaraz and Akash Anand (58 not out off 152 balls) then added an unbroken 176 for the fifth wicket to bat Himachal out of the contest. In Chennai, Pradosh Ranjan Paul's gritty 136 off 279 balls, including 12 fours, helped Tamil Nadu take a 179-run first-innings lead over Uttarakhand, before being all out for 313. Resuming on 85/2, Paul curbed his usual attacking instincts and, along with Baba Indrajith (77), shared a 171-run stand for the third wicket. Off-spinner Avneesh Sudha (4-34 in 20 overs) and Mayank Mishra, who took five wickets, were the standout bowlers for Uttarakhand. Captain R Sai Kishore removed opener Aarav Mahajan in the first over of Uttarakhand's second innings to leave them at 9/1 at stumps. Karan Lamba and Sachin Yadav were both dismissed for 194 after a 338-run third-wicket stand, as Rajasthan made 497 against Railways, who were 46/1 in 24 overs of the first innings and still trail by 451 runs.

Deadly Explosion in Bhilwara District Claims Drivers Life
A powerful explosion in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, resulted in the death of a driver and widespread damage to nearby structures. Deadly Explosion in Bhilwara District Claims Drivers Life
Digital Desk | Abohar (Punjab), Oct 19 (IANS) Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, said on Monday that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan should apologise to the Bishnoi community and if he does not, there will be dangerous consequences. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has an animosity with Salman Khan due to his alleged involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan during the filming of the blockbuster 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'. The actor was convicted by a trial court in 2018, a verdict he has contested in higher courts, and maintains his innocence. Speaking to IANS in the aftermath of an attack on Tiger Shroff, which the Bollywood star narrowly escaped, Ramesh Bishnoi said, As you heard in the audio, I heard the same thing: That we have stopped him and want to warn him again that anyone who works with Salman Khan could face consequences. He added that he was just quoting the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, These are not my words, Im just citing their emotions on the matter. I want to tell Salman Khans family to give up their stubbornness. This is an issue affecting the entire community, and there is widespread anger within it, he added. Ramesh Bishnoi further said that there was anger within the Bishnoi community, and Lawrence is just expressing the entire communitys anger. Lawrence has no personal dispute with Salman Khan, nor is it a personal dispute with the community. The issue is that he has hurt our religious sentiments. There is widespread anger within the community, he added. He further said Lawrence had offered a straightforward solution to Salman Khan, that he should come forward and apologise, but the actor doesnt want to apologise.

Tiger Shroff shooting suspects arrested: What the alleged Bishnoi gang threat to Salman Khan says
Highlights Three suspects have been arrested in Rajasthan over the firing at Tiger Shroffs car in Mumbai. A social media post claiming responsibility for the attack warned that people working with Salman Khan could be targeted. A separate audio message reportedly threatened Khan and his family, with police investigating the claims and the alleged gang connection. Three men suspected of opening fire at Tiger Shroff s car in Mumbai have been arrested in Rajasthan, following an attack that has raised fresh concerns about threats against Bollywood personalities associated with Salman Khan. The suspects were apprehended at Kota railway station on Monday (October 19) while travelling by train from Mumbai towards Delhi. Police are investigating their alleged roles in the shooting and whether they have links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The firing took place in Mumbais Juhu area on Sunday evening (October 18), as Shroff was leaving a football ground. The actor escaped serious injury, but his driver and another driver travelling in an autorickshaw were injured. What did the alleged Bishnoi gang message say? A social media post attributed to individuals identified as Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu claimed responsibility for the shooting. The message alleged that Shroff had ignored warnings about working with Salman Khan and threatened further action against people in the film industry who continued to associate with the actor. The post warned that others who failed to heed the alleged groups demands could also be targeted. However, the claim of responsibility does not establish who ordered the attack or whether the alleged gang directed the suspects. A separate audio message attributed to Pandit reportedly threatened Khan and his family, demanding that the actor apologise to Lawrence Bishnoi and the Bishnoi community. The speaker also warned Khan against relying on his security arrangements. Police are examining the messages and investigating the alleged links between the suspects and the criminal network. The motive behind the shooting has not been conclusively established. Why has Salman Khan faced threats linked to Lawrence Bishnoi? The latest threats come amid a long-running dispute between Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi, who has repeatedly been linked to threats against the actor. The hostility has been associated with the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Bishnoi has cited the animals religious significance to the Bishnoi community in connection with his anger towards Khan. In April 2024, gunmen opened fire outside Khans residence in Mumbais Bandra area. The actor was unharmed, and the subsequent investigation led to arrests and scrutiny of suspected links to the Bishnoi network. Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was murdered in Mumbai in October 2024, with a social media post attributed to the Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility. Investigators examined alleged links to the network as part of the case. The firing at filmmaker Rohit Shettys Juhu residence in February 2026 also brought renewed attention to threats against prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Reports linked a subsequent claim of responsibility to individuals associated with the Bishnoi network, although the circumstances of each incident require separate investigation. What happens next in the Tiger Shroff case? Mumbai Police had formed 15 teams to trace the attackers following the shooting. Investigators examined CCTV footage, gathered forensic evidence and tracked the suspected escape route. The three arrests in Kota mark a significant development, but investigators must still establish the suspects individual roles, identify anyone else involved and verify the alleged gang connection. The incident has also prompted renewed scrutiny of security arrangements for Bollywood personalities, particularly Salman Khan, who has faced repeated threats in recent years. The investigation remains ongoing, and police have yet to establish conclusively whether the alleged Bishnoi gang ordered the attack on Shroff.

Massive fire at Rajasthan factory leaves 3 workers injured, two missing
Digital Desk | Pali, Oct 19 (IANS) A massive fire broke out at a factory in Gwar village in Phase IV of the industrial area in Rajasthan's Pali district, leaving three workers seriously injured and two others missing. Firefighters brought the blaze under control in the early hours of Monday after an extensive firefighting operation. The three injured workers were immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment. After receiving first aid, they were referred to Jodhpur due to the severity of their injuries. Meanwhile, a search operation is underway to trace the two missing workers, whose whereabouts remain unknown. According to reports, around 17 workers were present at the factory when the fire broke out late Sunday night. The flames spread rapidly, triggering panic in the area as thick smoke engulfed the premises. After receiving information about the incident, fire department personnel and police teams rushed to the spot and launched firefighting and rescue operations. Given the intensity of the blaze, additional fire tenders were mobilised from Pali, Sumerpur, Rani, Falna and Sojat. Firefighters faced considerable difficulty in controlling the flames. During the operation, a wall of the factory was demolished with the help of a JCB machine to facilitate access to the premises and enable firefighters to tackle the blaze from inside. After creating an opening, the firefighting teams entered the factory and continued efforts to extinguish the flames. The fire was eventually brought under control in the early hours of Monday. Following the incident, two workers employed at the factory were reported missing. According to available information, their mobile phones were ringing, but their calls were not being answered. This has heightened concerns among their colleagues and family members. Police personnel and rescue teams are continuing the search for the missing workers, who are suspected to have been inside the factory when the fire broke out. However, officials have not yet confirmed their whereabouts or provided details about their condition. Industrial Police Station personnel, CO City Manglesh Chundawat and other administrative officials reached the scene after receiving information about the incident. They inspected the premises and reviewed the ongoing firefighting and rescue operations. Police and fire department teams coordinated their efforts to ensure the blaze was extinguished and to search for anyone who might have been trapped inside the factory. The cause of the fire remains unknown. Officials are expected to investigate the incident after the firefighting operation is completed and assess the extent of the damage caused to the factory. The immediate priority remains locating the two missing workers and determining whether anyone else was affected by the blaze. The incident triggered panic across the industrial area, with rescue teams continuing their efforts amid concerns over the safety of the missing workers.

Rajasthan Muslim family keeps alive tradition of making Dussehra effigies
Ranji Trophy Elite Group: After picking a four-wicket haul in Tamil Nadu's dominant day one against Uttarakhand in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group D match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh said there would be no satisfaction within him until he gets to play for India. Playing in just his 10th first-class game, Gurjapneet picked 4-34, including three wickets in a probing first spell, as Tamil Nadu bowled out Uttarakhand, last season's semi-finalists, for 134. Gurjapneet had missed the sides match against Rajasthan in Jaipur because of India A 50-over series against Australia in Puducherry. There is no satisfaction unless I play for India. That's the main job, and that box is still empty. I have to tick that. I was just trying to keep it normal, using the angles according to the wicket and batsmen, understanding the batsmen, how they are reacting, Gurjapneet said to reporters at the end of day ones play. Taking the new ball on a red-soil surface that had soaked up heavy overnight rain in Chennai, Gurjapneet took out Aarav Mahajan, before trapping Dega Nischal lbw and dismissing Kunal Chandela, apart from troubling India Under-19 batter Lakshya Raichandani. He completed his four-for by dismissing top-scorer Avneesh Sudha for 54. It (the way of dismissing batters) is just instinct. I watch his feet movement and how he (the batter) is reacting...One ball I bowl from over the stumps and I will (later) come around the stumps. Maybe his conscious mind is ready to play from that angle and the results were positive, he added. Gurjapneet, who has battled injuries in the past, said he had worked hard to manage the switch from white-ball cricket with India A to the rigorous demands of the Ranji Trophy. I was practising a lot with both balls. Coming into the Ranji Trophy, the workload is high and you have to keep maintaining that. It (my body) should not be under-prepared or like overcooked or something. I'm just trying to keep that energy the same because I know (in) red-ball cricket, it's difficult to bowl long spells. I'm trying to keep my body ready for all spells and deliver that. Gurjapneet, who plays for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL and is a part of the BCCI's targeted pool of fast bowlers, also had stints as a net bowler with the Indian team, an experience he stated has given him a lot of belief. You will get the confidence to bowl good batsmen like Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and all other players. So, when you bowl to them and when you come to the Ranji Trophy, you will get a different kind of confidence in your body. Gurjapneet, who plays for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL and is a part of the BCCI's targeted pool of fast bowlers, also had stints as a net bowler with the Indian team, an experience he stated has given him a lot of belief.

Instead of having a dharamshala there, I thought it would be better to invest in a hospitality asset in Salasar Balaji, he said. The hotel will be managed by Sarovar Hotels.The appeal for investors lies in the relative resilience of religious travel. A metro hotel lives and dies by corporate cycles; a pilgrimage hotel draws guests in good years and bad years alike, a representative of a Mumbai-based family office that recently invested in the segment said on condition of anonymity.Faith is India's most reliable demand generator, said Ajay Bakaya, chairman of Sarovar Hotels, an early entrant in several religious destinations. Occupancy is strong in these markets, according to him, particularly for mid-tier properties with 80-100 rooms. A lot of family offices also see development potential in investing in properties in such religious locations, he said.Much of the capital comes from regional trading, industrial and real estate families in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Individual investments range from 60 crore for a midscale hotel to 150 crore or more for an upscale asset, according to Noesis Hotel Advisors.This is not speculative money. These are families who have watched pilgrim footfall in their own towns double in a decade and are now converting that conviction into branded, institutional-grade assets, said Nandivardhan Jain, founder and CEO of Noesis Hotel Advisors, which has advised on some of the deals. The capital is patient, it is local and it is backed by land the family already owns. That combination makes it one of the most stable sources of hotel equity in India today. Jain cautioned, though, that resilient demand and family-owned land do not guarantee a viable hotel. A temple is not a feasibility study, he said.Better roads, airports, expressways, and pilgrimage corridors are turning day-trip destinations into overnight stops, improving the economics of branded hospitality. For hotel chains looking beyond saturated urban markets, temple towns offer a growing pool of demand and relatively limited branded supply. For family offices, experts say the bet is on faith-an enduring reason to travel.

Govt pushes FTA utilisation with outreach programme in Rajasthan
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 17 (IANS) The government has organised an outreach programme, 'Leveraging FTAs ', to create awareness about benefits under India's Free Trade Agreements and facilitate utilisation by exporters in Jaipur, an official statement said on Saturday. According to the Commerce Ministry, the programme was addressed by Joint Secretary, Department of Commerce, Mohit Yadav and saw participation from exporters, representatives of the state government, DGFT, Jaipur Special Economic Zone and Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC). The initiative aims to help enterprises translate preferential market access under FTAs into export opportunities through information, capacity building and coordination among Commerce Department, states and industry. It assumes significance amid India's expanding global engagement. The ministry cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum and Independence Day address on opportunities created by FTAs for producers, farmers and MSMEs, with emphasis on international quality standards. In addition, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has also highlighted that FTAs offer opportunities for farmers, women entrepreneurs, youth, MSMEs and artisans through reduced or zero-duty access. India's cumulative merchandise and services exports during April-September 2026-27 are estimated at $476.20 billion against $418.31 billion in the corresponding period last year, up 13.84 per cent, the ministry said. Major drivers of merchandise export growth in September 2026 included electronic goods, petroleum products, organic and inorganic chemicals, engineering goods, and cotton yarn, fabrics, made-ups and handloom products, according to the government. The state aims to become a $350 billion economy by 2029 and achieve exports of Rs 1.5 lakh crore by 2029 under REPP 2024, aligning with Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, it added. FTAs can help Rajasthan farmers and FPOs access markets for millets, spices and processed foods, while MSMEs and artisans can benefit from tariff preferences and global supply chain participation, the ministry said.
