CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Government is set to conduct a major state-wide Civil Defence exercise, named Operation Shield, on Thursday (May 29) across all 22 districts to enhance the states emergency preparedness and response capabilities. A 15-minute blackout will be observed from 8 PM to 8:15 PM near vital installations. Civil defence mock drills are also likely to take place in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir. Meanwhile, Punjab has written to the Centre expressing its inability to conduct mock drills tomorrow. Scheduled to begin at 5 PM, this comprehensive drill is being organised under the guidance of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, to simulate critical incidents such as air raids, drone attacks, and other wartime scenarios in light of current national security concerns. Additional Chief Secretary (Home), Dr Sumita Misra, said that the exercise aims to test existing emergency mechanisms, improve coordination between the civil administration, defence forces and local communities, and identify areas that need to be strengthened, thus ensuring swift and effective response during any crisis. She further stated that the drill will involve the large-scale mobilisation of Civil Defence Wardens, registered volunteers, and youth organisations including the National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Service Scheme (NSS), Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS), and Bharat Scouts and Guides to assist in simulated emergency scenarios. Key components include drills responding to aerial threats such as air raids and swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), activation of air raid sirens, and testing of control room communication hotlines established with the Indian Air Force. Additionally, a controlled blackout of 15 minutes will be observed from 8 PM to 8:15 PM near vital installations, with the exception of essential emergency services such as hospitals, fire stations, and police stations. Misra highlighted that the exercise aligns with the Incident Response System (IRS), which Haryana officially notified on 28 January 2025, under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, providing a structured framework for effective emergency response. She directed all Deputy Commissioners, who are also Chairpersons of District Disaster Management Authorities, along with Commissioners and Superintendents of Police, to ensure meticulous planning and execution of the exercise in their jurisdictions. They have been instructed to submit detailed Action Taken Reports to the Commandant General, Home Guards, and Director, Civil Defence, Haryana, which will be compiled for state-level review and forwarded to the Ministry of Home Affairs. The mock exercises are scheduled for May 29 between 5 PM and 9 PM and should not be a cause for alarm for citizens.

Twisted love, twisted lies: Gujarat couple kills, burns stranger in elaborate elopment scheme
AHMEDABAD: Two lovers have been arrested for allegedly murdering an elderly man in an elaborate elopement scheme in Gujarat's Patan district. The accused Geeta Ahir, a married woman, and her paramour Bharat Ahir devised a plot reminiscent of a crime thriller, taking direct inspiration from the film Drishyam, stated a Patan police official in an official press release. The release stated that Geeta was in an extramarital relationship with Bharat and was looking for a way to escape her marriage. Rather than simply eloping, the duo allegedly orchestrated an elaborate scheme to fake Geetas death in order to avoid suspicion and any potential pursuit by her family or community, the release said. The motive behind the act was to mislead Geetas family into believing that she had died by suicide, thereby allowing the pair to sever all existing ties and start a new life together, free from any trace or accountability, the release concluded. A police official said that investigation revealed that Geeta had conviced Bharat to murder an unidentified individual, dress the victims body in womens clothing and jewellery to resemble her, and then burn the body beyond recognition. Bharat lured Harji Solankian elderly villager with no connection to their love affairand strangled him to death. Bharat then transported the body on a motorcycle to Geeta's backyard. There, the duo dressed the corpse in Geeta's clothes and jewellery, doused it in petrol, and set it on fire. However, the body did not burn completely. Geetas husband filed a missing persons report the same night, initiating a swift police probe. Forensic clues and glaring holes in the suspects stories cracked the case wide open. The half-charred corpse was soon identified as Harji Solanki, and the fabricated suicide unraveled thread by thread. With the noose tightening, the fugitive pair tried to make a run for it. But the couple was nabbed at Palanpur railway station, just before they could flee to Rajasthan. Now in custody, the couple will now face the court on Thursday.

Teenage Ton, Pricey Flop: Highs And Lows As IPL 2025 Enters Playoffs
The Indian Premier League has finally reached the playoff stage, later than planned, leaving four teams to battle for the title beginning on Thursday. AFP Sport highlights the best and worst of the T20 league in 2025 -- from a 14-year-old bursting onto the scene to deadly armed conflict bringing a dramatic halt to the action. - Sensational Suryavanshi - Rajasthan Royals' 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi catapulted himself into the world cricket spotlight by belting his first ball fearlessly for six on his IPL debut. The youngest player ever to grace the IPL made headlines with 34 off 20 balls against Lucknow Super Giants, but it was just a taste of what was to come. Nine days later, Suryavanshi smashed the Gujarat Titans bowlers to all parts as he scored the second fastest hundred in tournament history. The teenager brought up his century off 35 balls with 11 sixes and seven fours to stand behind only West Indies great Chris Gayle, who took 30 balls to make a ton in 2013. The staggering power-hitting of left-hander Suryavanshi, who cost $130,500 as a 13-year-old at November's auction, enabled Rajasthan to chase down their 210 target with more than four overs to spare. He rounded off a remarkable debut season with 57 against Chennai Super Kings in his final outing. - Costly Pant - Lucknow splashed a record $3.21 million to secure Rishabh Pant as captain, but the India wicketkeeper-batsman appeared to buckle under the weight of his price tag. The usually swashbuckling ball striker failed to fire or inspire as Lucknow were eliminated from the playoff race with two matches to play. He belatedly found his touch in Lucknow's final match on Tuesday night, scoring 118 off 61 balls in another losing cause against Bengaluru. The knock raised his season average to an ordinary 24.45 from an abject 13.72 going into the match, and barely disguised his poor value for money after a return of 269 runs from 13 innings. - Dharamsala drama - The IPL was suspended on May 9, a day after the Punjab Kings-Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala was abandoned while nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan exchanged heavy fire across their border. Players left the field and crowds were hurried out of the ground as air raid warnings sounded in the city less than 200 kilometres (125 miles) from Jammu, where explosions had been reported hours earlier. Players and officials had to board a train to escape to New Delhi because local airspace had been closed. A ceasefire allowed a resumption on May 17, but Australia and Delhi's Mitchell Starc, who had been caught up in the Dharamsala drama, decided not to return. - Records wait - Sunrisers Hyderabad came within a whisker of beating their own IPL record score of 287 during the second match of the season in March. Powered by Ishan Kishan's unbeaten 106, the 2016 champions posted 286-6 in a 44-run victory over Rajasthan Royals. Pundits predicted that the 300-run barrier might be breached this season. But after that no team went past 250 until Sunday, when high-scoring Sunrisers posted 278-5 in their final match as Heinrich Klaasen hit 105 not out off 39 balls. - Dhoni decision? - Five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings completed a heavy fall from grace as they finished bottom of the table for the first time in their history. Champions in 2023 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the India great again took charge when captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured mid-season. Dhoni, now 43, could not revive the glory days and Chennai became the first team to be eliminated from the playoff picture. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score After signing off with a consolation 83-run win over Gujarat Titans, Dhoni said he was in no hurry to decide on whether he would retire after a glittering career.

Four sanitation workers die in Jaipur jewellery shops septic tank while recovering gold residue
Two other workers remain in critical condition at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, while two were discharged after receiving first aid.JAIPUR: Four sanitation workers were suffocated to death in Jaipur after inhaling poisonous gas while cleaning a septic tank at Achal Jewels Private Limited in the Sitapura Industrial Area on Monday night. Two other workers remain in critical condition at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, while two were discharged after receiving first aid. The incident occurred around 8:30 pm in the Jewellery Zone known as G-Block of Sitapura, under the Sanganer Sadar police station limits. The workers had descended into a 10-foot-deep septic tank when they were overcome by toxic fumes. According to reports, the real cause of the tragedy appears to be linked to the alleged negligence and greed of the company management. Earlier that afternoon, workers had refused to enter the tank, citing intense heat and the presence of poisonous gases caused by chemical-laden water. However, after pressure from supervisors and promises of extra money, several workers agreed to proceed with the cleaning. Amit Pal and Rohit Pal were the first to enter the tank at around 8 pm. After some time, both lost consciousness and called for help. In an attempt to rescue them, six more workersincluding Sanjeev Pal and Mukeshentered the tank, but all of them also fainted and were rushed to the hospital. Doctors at the Mahatma Gandhi Hospital declared Sanjeev Pal, Himanshu Singh, Rohit Pal (all residents of Ambedkar Nagar in UP), and Arpit Yadav of Sultanpur dead. Ajay Chauhan and Rajpal are currently undergoing treatment, while Amit Pal and Surajpal were discharged after first aid. Sanganer Sadar Circle Inspector Anil Jaiman said the police received the information through control room calls and promptly reached the scene. Four workers were declared dead at the hospital, two are in critical condition, and two were discharged after initial treatment, he confirmed. The Police probe has revealed that the workers were initially reluctant to undertake the work, but agreed to do it after they were offered extra money to remove sludge for the recovery of lost gold and silver particles. In the process of making jewellery, fine particles of gold and silver often get lodged in septic tanks during the chemical washing process. Gradually, solid sludge containing residues of these precious metals settles at the bottom and most factories normally recover these by employing sanitation workers. Forensic teams have been sent to the site to help with the formal probe on this case. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sharply criticized the state governments handling of sanitation worker safety. Posting on his social media account X, Gehlot wrote, In the last 10 days, 11 people have died while cleaning septic tanks and drains in Deeg, Bikaner, and now Jaipur. It appears the government is ignoring the plight of sanitation workers. Although the budget promised machines to replace manual cleaning, this commitment remains only on paper. When will the government wake up from its slumber?

India fails to meet target of doubling farmers' income: Report
NEW DELHI: Most of the states in India failed to achieve the goal to double farmers' incomes (DFI) by the 2022-23 period, a target set by the Narendra Modi government in 2016-17. However, Bihar, Uttarakhand, along with the Union Territories, have successfully achieved this goal. This information was revealed in a new policy paper titled Doubling Farmers Income: A Promising Target Fraught with Challenges, released by former Union Agriculture Secretary Siraj Hussain. The analysis indicates that India has fallen short of the DFI goal by 25 per cent. Furthermore, the contribution of the farm sector to doubling farmers' incomes has decreased compared to the non-farm sector. In 2016-17, the Indian government set the goal of doubling farmers total income by 2022-23, using 2015-16 as the baseline year. The study extrapolated farmers' income from 2018-19 to 2022-23 and compared it with the governments target. It showed that only two statesBihar and Uttarakhandand the combined North-eastern states achieved the target. The study suggests that the possibility of attaining DFI in the near future is higher in states like Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, as these states have registered income growth trends ranging from 20% to 50%. However, the study emphasizes the slim chances of achieving the DFI goal in five states: Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Punjab, and West Bengal. Madhya Pradesh, in particular, has shown minimal growth, largely due to negligible increases in gross state domestic product in agriculture and allied activities (GSDPA) from 2018-19 to 2019-20. Nevertheless, there is a silver lining as Madhya Pradesh has recently reported an average GSDPA growth of nearly 7%, indicating substantial growth potential, according to the study. Overall, the study highlights distress in agricultural growth. The increase in income from wages, salaries, and non-farm businesses suggests that the non-farm sector has performed better than the farm sector in several states. The study also found that direct relationship between farm size and income. India has 86% small and marginal farmers who need special attention to increase income. Further, inter-state and social disparities in income remain wide. The income of farmers of Punjab and Haryana is almost five times more than that of farmers in Bihar and West Bengal. Similarly, the income gaps between large and marginal farmers and SC-ST and OBC-Other caste farmers remain wide. The policy paper was prepared by a group of economists and sector experts, Seema Bathla, Anjani Kumar, Navneet Kumar, and Siraj Hussain. The study has examined the last two decades' trends, composition, and growth in farmers total net income between 200203 and 201819 across the states to assess the possibility of DFI. It also analyses the increment in income whether equitable and inclusive. The data is based on National Sample Survey- Situational Analysis Survey (NSS-SAS) undertaken during 200203, 201213 and 201819.

Three bikers die in separate road mishaps in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: Three men died in as many road accidents in the city on Monday. In Jnanabharathi traffic police station limits, 38-year-old Anilkumar, a resident of Hebbagodi, died when he rammed his two-wheeler into the rear of a tractor at high speed. The incident occurred near the Ullal bridge on NICE Road around 10.50 am. He worked as a water purifier service agent. In the another incident, 19-year-old Balaji, a resident of Ullal Bhasti, died after a speeding truck collided with his two-wheeler. The incident took place near 4th Block, SMV Layout, around 1.30 pm. In an accident a 19-year-old Praveen died when he fell from his electric two-wheeler after it skidded and was run over by a mini goods vehicle. Praveen was a resident of 9th Cross, Magadi Road, and hailed from Rajasthan. The Magadi traffic police arrested the driver, Mohammad Ali (40).
413 Pakistani drone attacks foiled on Western Border after Operation Sindoor, says BSF IG Garg
JAIPUR:In retaliation for Operation Sindoor launched by the Indian Armed Forces, Pakistan launched 413 drones and several Chinese-made missiles into Indian territory along the western border, but all efforts were thwarted by India's robust air defence system. India displayed its defence prowess as the BSF, Army and Air Force successfully foiled each threat and not a single Indian soldier was harmed, thanks to the efficient performance of India's air defence system. Addressing a press conference in Jodhpur on Monday, BSF Rajasthan Frontier IG MGarg said Pakistan had launched the attack with full preparation and tried to target several sensitive locations, including the Phalodi airbase in Rajasthan, but all efforts were neutralised. Not only did it (Pak) send drones and missiles, but also moved Army units and tanks close to the border. However, Indian forces were already on high alert to deal with the offensive, he said. IG Garg revealed that Pakistan carried out a total of 413 drone attacks across the border districts of Barmer, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, and Sriganganagar. All drones were intercepted and shot down mid-air by Indias air defence system, he stated. The Indian forces responded with precise timing and wherever necessary. Thanks to this timely response and prior preparedness using modern technology, not a single civilian casualty was reported along the western border. While a wall of someones house collapsed and another house suffered minor damage, the overall impact was minimal due to our advance planning and use of cutting-edge resources, he added. The IG also confirmed that Pakistans missiles were armed and potentially lethal, but none succeeded in breaching Indian territory. Before they could touch Indian soil, our anti-missile systems destroyed them mid-air. What landed on the ground was only debris or empty shells, he clarified. Responding to questions about developments across the border during Operation Sindoor, IG Garg said, Pakistan had deployed its army along its side of the border, but our soldiers did not retreat even an inch. Both countries have now announced a ceasefire, but Operation Sindoor has not ended it has only been temporarily suspended. He emphasized that the BSF remains fully prepared for ground combat. BSF has always been at the frontline. Even during Operation Sindoor, while Pakistan evacuated many villages, we didnt need to evacuate even one. Our jawans stood firm, and so did the people of our border villages shoulder to shoulder with the nation. Highlighting the role of women in the forces, IG Garg praised the women personnel of BSFs Seema Bhavani unit. Everyone was ready to help each other. The courage and commitment displayed by our women soldiers proved that India's women's power is second to none. They stood guard on the border with the same passion and bravery as the men, 24 hours a day. Their dedication is truly commendable.

Guided By Dhonis Wisdom, Solanki Eyes Redemption For Nashik Titans After MPL Final Slip
Eagles Nashik Titans: Eagles Nashik Titans captain Prashant Solanki led his side to the finals of the 2024 Maharashtra Premier League, but were defeated by Ratnagiri Jets in the ultimate clash. With learnings from playing under MS Dhoni for the Chennai Super Kings, the 25-year-old is aiming to take his side past the final hurdle and rectify their performance in the ultimate clash, which resulted in a 34-run defeat, this time around. Finals, be it any tournament, I feel have a different kind of pressure coming in with them. We had played extremely good cricket throughout the final. It's just that one inning, we couldn't click. It did hurt. Obviously, you want to win the final. You want to lift that trophy. It's just that, as I had learned in the last 34 years, our process wasn't quite right in that game. I guess that's why we couldn't click. We couldn't cross the final hurdle. The mindset doesn't change. You just go and rectify what could have been better. The next time you get such big stages, such big opportunities, you try to make the most of it, Solanki told IANS. Solanki, a right-arm leg-break bowler hailing from Mumbai, originally joined Chennai Super Kings in 2022, after previously being with the team as a net bowler, when his services were acquired for INR 1.2 crore. He made his IPL debut for Chennai Super Kings against Gujarat Titans at Wankhede Stadium. He didnt pick any wickets in his first match but scalped the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shimron Hetmyer in the following game against Rajasthan Royals. When asked of the learnings he absorbed from MS Dhoni, one of Indias greatest ever captains, Solanki replied Everyone says he's so calm. He keeps things very simple and everything. The reason I feel behind so much of his success is transparency between him and the bowler. Transparency with him and the staff. I also try to be calm in pressure situations or take an extra breath at that point of time to clear my head and try to make the right decision. That breathing thing helps, which I have noticed. He does it a lot in pressure situations while he's batting or leading. He takes that extra second. That extra second can always make a lot of difference, I feel, he added. State based T20 tournaments are of vital importance for any youngster hoping to make a name for themselves. One of the biggest examples of such is the meteoric rise of Punjab Kings batter Priyansh Arya whose career was fast tracked after his exceptional outing during the 2024 Delhi Premier League. One such example is Eagle Nashik Titans teammate, Arshin Kulkarni. The all-rounder was selected for the India U19 squad following his outings in last years MPL and was later secured by Lucknow Super Giants for his base price of INR 30 lakh Solanki spoke on the importance of such tournaments given the eyeballs it attracts on young talents. Such tournaments are really important for us. As you mentioned, people shine from their own state leagues. We also had heroes in our state leagues. Our team itself had Arshin Kulkarni, who made a brilliant 100 in the first MPL. Then went on to play India U19 and got into the IPL circle for LSG. Our team has more IPL players like Mukesh Chaudhary. He plays in our team, and myself. These tournaments are very important for us as youngsters to make a mark, grab the spotlight, or grab the eyes of the scouts of the IPL franchises, as they all come in and watch these games. Solanki spoke on the importance of such tournaments given the eyeballs it attracts on young talents. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

IPL 2025: Rashid Khans Wicket-taking Ability Is Missing Now, Says Anil Kumble
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: According to former India captain Anil Kumble, Gujarat Titans leg-spinner Rashid Khans wicket-taking prowess seems to have diminished currently, resulting in the side having issues in the bowling department. Rashid is enduring one of his poorest seasons in the IPL, picking only nine wickets in 14 games at an average of 53.66 and an economy rate of 9.47. When things have not started off well for GT in those first six overs, the pressure on the bowling attack has been pretty obvious. That's where the Rashid wicket-taking ability is sort of missing now, and that's why they're probably struggling, said Kumble on ESPNcricinfo. Kumble, who turned out for Royal Challengers Bengaluru as a player and went on to mentor them as well as Mumbai Indians, further emphasised that the Shubman Gill-led side needs to stay calm and focused as GT approach the final stages of the tournament. Though GT have already qualified for the playoffs, they have suffered back-to-back losses to Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings respectively. I think what was important was also to look at all the good things that they've done to be here. There were ten teams, all of them equally good. Yes, the points table says that Chennai (CSK) is No. 10, and then you have Rajasthan (RR) at nine, and the rest of them. But generally, if you look at it on paper, all of those teams are really, really good. It's just that one match here, there, things could have been different. Though GT have already qualified for the playoffs, they have suffered back-to-back losses to Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings respectively. I think what was important was also to look at all the good things that they've done to be here. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

NEET aspirant from Jammu-Kashmir dies by suicide in Kota; 15th incident this year
Just three days after the Supreme Court grilled Rajasthan government over the surge in student suicides in the city of Kota , a 18-year-old student from Jammu and Kashmir allegedly died by suicide in her hostel room in the city. This the 15th such incident this year and second this month alone. According to the police, the deceased Zeeshan lived in a paying guest room in Pratap Chouraha. Before the incident, Zeeshan spoke to a relative of hers on the phone and told him that she might commit suicide before hanging up. Burhan, the relative, immediately contacted another student, who lived on the floor above in the same building, and urged her to check on Zeeshan. The student found Zeeshan's room locked from the inside. The students broke the door open only to find Zeeshan dead. Police said the room was not equipped with the 'anti-hanging device' - a metal cage-like contraption mounted around the ceiling fan to prevent hanging. It may be noted that on May 3 another NEET aspirant from Madhya Pradesh died by suicide in her room in Kota. (If you are having suicidal thoughts, or are worried about a friend or need emotional support, someone is always there to listen.

Amid many controversies, the Congress government has completed two years in Karnataka. While the Opposition is slamming the government for alleged scams, lack of development works and splitting Bengaluru, veteran Congress leader and Minister for Transport and Endowment Ramalinga Reddy, in a conversation with the editorial team of the TNIE , speaks about various issues, including the governments achievements, new initiatives, mobility, the rains and Bengaluru floods. He also spoke about the cabinet reshuffle and change of guard. Excerpts. You are a prominent minister, who knows Bengaluru well. Why does the city flood everytime it rains? In the beginning, Bengaluru had only 150 villages and 110 villages were added. Almost every village had a lake, but they made way for development. For instance, Dharmambudhi lake made way for Majestic Bus Stand. Stormwater drains (SWD) are encroached upon and hundreds of homes are built over them. Clearing all the encroachments is practically not possible. So when it rains heavily, even 90mm of rain in a span of one hour, it floods over 100 spots in the city. When SM Krishna was CM and in Siddaramaiahs previous regime, the SWD network was built with retaining walls. Now we are regularly desilting the drains too. However, the governments that came in between didnt focus on building the SWD network. What about encroachment of drains? Every time Bengaluru floods, the issue of encroachment clearance is discussed. I have been an MLA since 1989, SWDs were encroached much before that. If the encroachments have to be cleared, hundreds of homes have to be demolished, which is practically not possible. In core areas wherever there is scope, SWDs have to be widened. In 110 villages, we have enough space and the widening should be mandatorily done to ensure free flow of rainwater. Will Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) address the garbage, potholes and rain issues? When I was a corporator in the early 80s, the population of the city was around 20 lakh. Farmers would pay to buy the citys garbage, which was mostly cow dung and grass. Now waste generated mainly contains plastic. There is no coordination between various civic agencies in Bengaluru. There should be a tight grip on the administration. One commissioner cannot visit or monitor all wards. To address these issues, we have formed GBA. In my opinion, it will be good if three corporations are created in the GBA, though it can be extended up to seven. Funds can be allocated equally among smaller corporations. Come September, it will be five years without a council in Bengaluru. Wont it burden the MLAs? MLAs are definitely burdened. MLAs are the policy makers, but now we are doing the job of the corporator also. Corporators would attend to issues like garbage, pavements and streetlights on a day-to-day basis, irrespective of parties. When will elections for GBA be held? In all probability, elections will be conducted by the end of this year. What do you have to say about the allegation of the Council not having power under Greater Bengaluru Authority? If there were any issues with the 74th Amendment, the Governor would not have given his assent. The BJP could have gone to court and challenged, all that did not happen. There is no overriding of the 74th Amendment and it will not undermine the powers of elected corporators. We have formed GBA under the 74th Amendment framework. What are the plans to improve public transport? Public transport has to be improved. We have around 6,500 buses. We require 10,000 buses for the citys population for last-mile connectivity. Nearly 40 lakh people use BMTC buses every day, whereas only 8 lakh people travel in the Metro. The priority given to Metro is not given to BMTC, because poor people travel in this. Is a tunnel road necessary for Bengaluru, considering the costs, traffic congestion, and long-term urban growth? Yes, a tunnel road is becoming increasingly necessary for Bengaluru. While tunnels may seem costly, countries like Switzerland have built extensive tunnel networks through rocky terrain. Bengalurus population, currently 1.4 crore, is expected to reach 2 crore in the next decade, making land acquisition for surface roads expensive. Underground roads are a more sustainable option. With vehicle numbers matching the population, tunnel roads can greatly reduce congestion and enhance mobility, offering a long-term solution for the citys growing infrastructure demands. What steps is the Transport department taking on auto fare revision, RTO enforcement, and the bike-taxi ban in Karnataka? Auto fares havent been updated for years. A Deputy Commissioners committee is now reviewing costs and is expected to announce a revised minimum fare shortly. On bike taxis, the High Court ruled that privately owned two-wheelers should not be commercialised and ordered a ban to take effect within six weeks and has extended it for another six weeks, after which they will be prohibited. Encroachment of endowment properties has been reported. What action was taken to clear it? Before the Land Reforms Act, temple authorities owned land, some up to 800 acres. But the Act transferred ownership to tillers, leading to major land loss. After which we began offering Tasthikarana. In a review meeting, we found 36,000 acres still remain with temples, but only 3,500 acres were properly documented. Under the guidance of Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar Kataria, officers were directed to correct records. So far, 15,000 acres have been allotted to respective temples. Documentation for the remaining 20,000 acres is under way and will be completed in a year. We have Lok Sabha and Assembly constituencies named Bangalore South. Dont you think renaming Ramanagara to Bengaluru South will create confusion? The existing 28 assembly constituencies of Bengaluru district, four assembly constituencies from Bengaluru Rural and four constituencies from Ramanagara district were together called Bengaluru district earlier. Ramakrishna Hegde divided it into Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural districts. During HD Kumaraswamys regime in 2007, Bengaluru Rural district was further divided into Bengaluru Rural and Ramanagara districts. Ramanagara was Bengaluru district earlier, now DK Shivakumar is keen to rename it Bengaluru South as people are showing interest. Opposition is accusing us of renaming it as it would help real estate, but they are not using common sense. In Uttar Pradesh, they changed the names of many cities. Was this done for the real estate mafia? We will have Greater Bengaluru, Bengaluru South, Bengaluru Rural and nothing more. What do you have to say about the allegation of unavailability of funds for development works due to the guarantee schemes? Guarantee scheme funds are reaching people directly. The development work has not been stopped. But the amount given for development works might have reduced slightly. We introduced Guarantee schemes because there is a price hike on many commodities. Opposition party members are criticising our schemes right from the beginning. The BJP government, in four years, had a new loan of Rs 2.7 lakh crore. Other than this, Rs 2 lakh crore work was taken up without allocating funds. This is on us now. In spite of these, what development work have they done? We have to increase prices, including BMTC ticket fare, as it was not done for the last 11 years, NERTC and NWKRTC revised ticket fares in 2020. Cost of diesel and the increase in salaries of our employees has increased. This burden is on us and we had to increase ticket fare with no other option. Why do BJP leaders here not talk about price hikes by the Modi government? Will there be any cabinet reshuffle or change in guard in the state? Cabinet reshuffle may happen in November 2025. There are a few senior MLAs who are aspirants. However, there will be no change of Chief Ministers post and Siddaramaiah will continue for five years. However, it all depends on the party high commands decision. What difference do you see between Siddaramaiah government 1.0 and Siddaramaiah government 2.0? Siddaramaiah is a good administrator. We won polls with full majority and we have 136 MLAs now. There is no fear of destabilising the government. We had assured to deliver Guarantee schemes and we did it. But our own leaders unwanted talks on public platforms is causing damage to the government. Some leaders said Siddaramaiah will be CM for five years and some said DK Shivakumar will be CM. A few leaders were offering to resign over KPCC posts and aired comments in public, all this was not necessary. There is high command to look into it and take decisions at appropriate times. Recently, there were comments on the honey trapping case by the minister in the house, this was not necessary. All these developments gave enough fodder for opposition parties. All these comments dented the partys image and CMs too. What do you have to say about Opposition party members claim on celebrating Sadhana Samaavesha, when there are no development works taken up by the government? BJP was in power between 2008 to 2013, what did they do? Three times the CMs were changed. There was corruption and mining scams. The sitting CM went to jail. They did not do anything. They were in power for four years again, there were two CMs. There was dissidence. The High Court had to monitor pothole filling. BJP turned Garden City into a Garbage City between 2012 to 2013. They kept a liability of Rs 8,000 crore in 2013. Again in 2023, huge loans they borrowed were passed on to us. Since they did not perform, they do not understand what achievements mean and hence point fingers at Congress and ask what achievement has the government done. Other than the Guarantee schemes, what are the achievements of the Congress government? The achievements are not limits to Guarantee schemes. The CM and DCM are touring many districts for the foundation stone groundbreaking ceremonies and the inauguration of various projects. What do you have to say about friction between Kannadiagas and non-Kannadigas, especially in Bengaluru? People across India have come to Karnataka and are residing. There are lakhs of people from North East, West Bengal, Bihar, Rajasthan and other places. Both skilled and labour classes are here. They have come to our state and they should respect the local language and adjust with us. What is your message to non-Kannadigas? This is a free country, people can reside anywhere. You have come here, learn the language. If you respect Kannada, it will make your daily life easier and better. You can also do good business if you know the local language.
Patna Diary | Prashant Kishor as Jan Suraaj Partys CM face
Jan Suraaj Partys newly elected national president and two-term former MP from Purnea Uday Singh created a flutter in the states political circles when he revealed during a media interaction that Prashant Kishor would be the partys chief ministerial candidate. This is remarkable because Kishor has stated emphatically on numerous occasions that he doesnt harbour any aspiration to become the CM and that he entered politics just to bring about a positive change in the state. So, how did Kishor change his mind? And more important, since the party will go solo in the Assembly polls later this year, how will the move affect its fortunes? No tilak? No Hindu: Saraogi on Tejashwi Senior BJP leader and Bihar minister Sanjay Saraogi mounted a blistering attack on RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav during a recent media interaction, calling into question his Hinduness. Saraogi pointed out how the RJD leader had reportedly wiped off the tilak off his forehead shortly after leaving the temple premises during his visit to the Ahilya Mahotsav in Mithila. He alleged that Tejashwi and his ilk only visit a temple for optics. The saffron party leader insisted to the press that the Yadav scion is a fake Hindu and that he cannot be trusted at any cost. But he didnt stop there. He also claimed that Tejashwi has lost his credibility as a politician. PM Modi lauds state for hosting youth games Prime Minister Narendra Modi was all praise for Bihar in the 122nd episode of his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio programme as he dwelt on the Khelo India Youth Games hosted by the state government.
