The blast occurred at around 9:40 a.m. in the Badli area, triggering fears that more workers could still be trapped inside the premises.

More time to serve the nation: Agniveers, families welcome two-year extension
Digital Desk | Bharatpur/Didwana/Gulmarg, Nov 4 (IANS) The Central government's decision to provide an additional two years of service to Agniveers has been widely welcomed by young defence aspirants, defence academy operators and families of serving Agniveers. The decision has brought fresh enthusiasm among candidates preparing for military recruitment, with many describing it as an opportunity to serve the nation for a longer period and gain valuable experience in the armed forces. Under the revised arrangement approved by the Union Cabinet, 75 per cent of Agniveers who were earlier expected to leave after completing their initial four-year tenure will be offered a second engagement period of two years. The remaining 25 per cent will continue to be considered for enrolment into the regular armed forces after four years on the basis of merit. Following the additional two-year engagement, Agniveers willing to continue will also get an opportunity to join the regular forces, subject to prescribed objective selection criteria. Chief of Defence Staff General NS Raja Subramani announced the Cabinet's decision on November 4, describing it as an important development for the armed forces and Agniveers. In Bharatpur, young people preparing for Agniveer recruitment expressed happiness over the decision. Deepak Khatoti, director of Ishwar Defence Academy, termed the move encouraging and said it would motivate more youngsters to participate in defence recruitment. He urged aspirants to prepare seriously and take advantage of the opportunities available under the scheme. Shiv Singh, an Agniveer recruitment aspirant, said the extension would allow young people to serve the country for two additional years. Another aspirant, Brahma, said the decision would boost confidence and provide greater professional experience. He also expressed hope that the move would bring relief to Agniveers and their families. Poppy Singh welcomed the decision but highlighted concerns regarding remuneration. He said that while the extended service period was a positive development, salary remained an important concern, particularly for candidates from middle-class families. He urged the government to improve Agniveers' pay alongside extending their tenure. In Didwana, Rajasthan, defence academy operators and parents of aspiring candidates also shared their views on the announcement. Defence academy operator Dungar Ram Jakhar said the decision would provide candidates with a longer opportunity to remain associated with the armed forces. Parents, including Ompal Singh and Jitendra Punia, also discussed the implications of the revised arrangement for young recruits and their families. The announcement has also been welcomed by families of Agniveer personnel in Gulmarg, Jammu and Kashmir. In their reactions, residents Syed Abbas and Syed Maroof expressed happiness, saying the additional two years would give their children another opportunity to serve the country and contribute to national security. For these families, the extension represents not only additional service but also a matter of pride and hope for their children's future. The first batch of Agniveers recruited under the Agnipath scheme is approaching the completion of its initial four-year tenure in November-December 2026. The revised arrangement therefore provides an additional service opportunity to thousands of personnel who were earlier scheduled to leave the armed forces.

Rajasthan: EPFO Enforcement Officer arrested in Rs 1 lakh bribery case
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 4 (IANS) The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Wednesday arrested an Enforcement Officer of the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) red-handed while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1 lakh in Jaipur. The accused, identified as Sonu Maurya, was caught during a trap operation conducted by the ACB's Jaipur City-IV unit. According to ACB Director General Govind Gupta, the complainant had approached the bureau alleging that Maurya had demanded a bribe of Rs 2 lakh to avoid registering an FIR against him over the non-deposit of Provident Fund (PF) contributions for employees of his firm. The officer had also allegedly threatened to freeze the firm's bank accounts. Following the complaint, the ACB verified the bribe demand and confirmed that the accused had demanded Rs 1 lakh. On Wednesday, the accused accepted Rs 1 lakh in bribe money in the presence of the complainant's firm's Chartered Accountant (CA). The ACB team recovered the amount and arrested him on the spot. The operation was conducted under the supervision of ACB Deputy Inspector General Omprakash Meena by a team led by Additional Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Gupta of the Jaipur City-IV unit. The bureau is also investigating the possible involvement of other persons in the case. Under the supervision of ACB Additional Director General of Police Smita Srivastava and Inspector General of Police S.

The ACB has urged citizens to report corruption through its 24-hour toll-free helpline 1064 or WhatsApp helpline 94135-02834. The bureau said it would extend assistance to ensure that people's legitimate work is completed.

The Rajasthan Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) has also shared comprehensive guidelines issued by the state government to control air pollution during Diwali. According to the directives, only CSIR-NEERI-certified green crackers will be permitted for sale and use in the NCR region.

Himachal Pradesh Inks 1,300 MW Electricity Pact with Rajasthan at 15.50/Unit
This years grand Diwali release, Ramayana, will neither arrive on the day of the festival nor on the lucrative post-Diwali holiday. Instead, the makers have decided to bring the much-awaited epic to cinemas on Thursday, November 5, that is, will release three days before the Festival of Lights. The decision has surprised the trade and industry. After all, the days leading up to Diwali are traditionally considered dull for the movie business. Audiences are busy with last-minute preparations, shopping and festivities, resulting in reduced footfalls. Even on Diwali, collections tend to dip significantly during the evening hours due to Lakshmi Puja. Moreover, times have changed. Today, a film can face considerable negativity if its opening collections fall short of expectations, even when the numbers are affected by the pre-Diwali period. This was evident in the case of Krrish 3 (2013). The Hrithik Roshan-starrer was released on Friday, November 1, while Diwali fell on Sunday, November 3. As expected, its collections over the first three days were good but not extraordinary. It was only on Monday, November 4, that the business went to another level, making it clear that the film was heading towards massive success. A similar pattern was witnessed with Housefull 4 (2019), which also released two days before Diwali. The Akshay Kumar-starrer saw a significant jump in collections from its fourth day, once the festive period was over. This explains why a trend emerged with Happy New Year (2014), when filmmakers increasingly began targeting the day after Diwali for their big-ticket releases. The strategy allowed films to capitalize on the lucrative holiday and register extraordinary opening-day collections. Besides Happy New Year, films like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), Golmaal Again (2017) and Thugs Of Hindostan (2018) benefited immensely from the post-Diwali holiday. And now, the makers of Ramayana have decided to go against the prevailing trend by arriving well before the festival. Interestingly, the advance booking trends indicate that a bumper opening is assured. But is the pre-Diwali period necessarily a disadvantage for a film carrying extraordinary buzz? Bollywood Hungama went back in time to examine several films that released in the days leading up to Diwali and still emerged as major successes. Past pre-Diwali hits One of the biggest examples is Amitabh Bachchan's Mard (1985). Just like Ramayana, it arrived four days before Diwali. That year, the festival was celebrated on Tuesday, November 12, while the Manmohan Desai entertainer had a grand release on Friday, November 8. Yet, the film managed to attract audiences in huge numbers right from its opening day. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh told Bollywood Hungama, I remember the craze for Mard. It was unimaginable, that too from the first day of release. It had Amitabh Bachchan and Manmohan Desai coming together. It couldnt have gotten bigger than that, in those days. In 1992, Ajay Devgn's Jigar released on Friday, October 23, while Diwali fell on Sunday, October 25. A year later, Shah Rukh Khan's Baazigar arrived on Friday, November 12, just a day before Diwali, which was celebrated on Saturday, November 13. Both films went on to become hits. The 1995 Diwali season witnessed the release of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. The Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol romantic drama arrived on Friday, October 20, while Diwali was celebrated on Monday, October 23 (though, as per information on the internet, a section of the population celebrated it on Tuesday, October 25). Its initial collections were not extraordinary, but the film gathered tremendous momentum as the festive holidays began. Ultimately, it emerged as the biggest hit of 1995 and went on to create history. Raj Bansal, who released Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in Rajasthan, however, told us, Though DDLJ released a few days before Diwali, it did huge business since the day of its release. Mard was an action film and front-loaded and hence, it probably had a greater advantage. A year later, Sunny Deol's Ghatak released on Friday, November 8, 1996, while Diwali fell on Sunday, November 10. Despite arriving before the festival, the action entertainer opened strongly and went on to become one of the year's biggest successes. In 1998, Bollywood witnessed one of the biggest Diwali clashes of the decade when Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan arrived together on Friday, October 16. Diwali fell on Tuesday, October 20, making it a situation similar to Mard and Ramayana. Interestingly, the pre-Diwali effect was hardly visible in their opening performances. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda, registered the biggest opening of 1998, while Shah Rukh Khan's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai also opened well. Both films enjoyed encouraging opening weekends, demonstrating that strong audience interest can overcome the traditional pre-Diwali slowdown. Another interesting example is Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999). The Salman Khan-starrer arrived on Friday, November 5, while Diwali fell on Sunday, November 7. The Sooraj Barjatya directorial was released on a grand scale. However, the pre-Diwali period did affect its initial collections, which were below their full potential, even though it registered the third-biggest opening of 1999. But once the festive period was over, the film witnessed a substantial jump in business. The collections went from strength to strength, and Hum Saath Saath Hain ultimately emerged as the biggest hit of the year. To conclude The pre-Diwali effect is certainly real, and history has repeatedly demonstrated that even some of the biggest films can witness relatively subdued collections before the festival. However, history also shows that films carrying extraordinary buzz and strong audience interest can overcome this challenge. This is what makes Ramayana's release strategy particularly fascinating. The film is arriving with unprecedented expectations, immense curiosity and the advantage of being one of the most eagerly awaited spectacles in Indian cinema. As per trade estimates, Ramayana is looking at an opening of Rs. 60-70 crores, which would make it one of the biggest Hindi openers of all time. If a film can open to such a massive figure before Diwali, one can only imagine the box office numbers it could generate from Monday, November 9, especially if the content clicks big time. Pre-Diwali successes in the last 41 years 1985 Diwali on Tuesday, November 12 Mard released on November 8 1992 Diwali on Sunday, October 25 Ajay Devgn's Jigar released on October 23 1993 Diwali on Saturday, November 13 Baazigar released on November 12 1995 Diwali on Monday, October 23 or Tuesday, October 24 Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge released on October 20 1996 Diwali on Monday, November 11 Ghatak released on November 8 1998 Diwali on Tuesday, October 20 Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan released on October 16 1999 Diwali on Monday, November 8 Hum Saath Saath Hain released on November 5 2006 Diwali on Saturday, October 21 Don released on October 20 2013 Diwali on Sunday, November 3 Krrish released on November 1 2016 Diwali on Sunday, October 30 Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shivaay released on October 28 2019 Diwali on Sunday, October 27 Housefull 4 released on October 25 Also Read: After Ranveer Singhs Dhurandhar 2, can Ranbir Kapoors Ramayana make him Bollywoods BIGGEST superstar?

Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 4 (IANS) Pia Dandiya, the daughter of immigrants from Jaipur in Rajasthan, won Florida's 22nd Congressional District, becoming the second Indian American woman elected to the US House of Representatives, after Pramila Jayapal. Dandiya, a Democrat, defeated Republican businessman Casey Askar, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ and CBS News. NBC News showed a 'Projected winner' banner on the race, with Dandiya ahead by about 52 per cent to 48 per cent and about 99 per cent of the expected vote counted. NBC said the race shifted about 14 points towards Democrats compared with the 2024 presidential vote. Born and raised in Palm Beach County, Dandiya grew up in Jupiter, where her parents settled after emigrating from Jaipur in the 1980s. After moving to the US, her father, Dr Rohit Dandiya, continued his medical practice, while her mother, then 40, founded a Montessori school in Jupiter, initially established for Dandiya. Dandiya was raised with strong ties to her Indian heritage, and her parents sent her to India as a child to spend time with her cousins. Very early on, my parents would send me on a solo trip to India to spend time with my cousins. These trips were life-changing and played a pivotal role in shaping my identity. They helped me understand how different democracies function and gave me a sense of global inequality, she told New India Abroad in an August 2025 interview. After her freshman year at Harvard, she spent a summer teaching English to children aged seven to 17 in the slums of New Delhi with the Asha Cooperative Society. Teaching those underprivileged kids, I learnt what truly separates people from each other is not their potential, but their circumstances, she said. I was born and raised in this district by parents who came to this country in pursuit of the American dream, and I've dedicated my career to making sure that dream is within reach for more families, Dandiya said when the Indian American Impact Fund endorsed her in 2025. Dandiya studied government at Harvard and earned a master's in education from Boston University. She taught with Teach For America in Boston and, at 28, became the founding principal of Democracy Prep Endurance High School in Harlem, where about 86 per cent of students were low-income, and every graduate was admitted to college, according to her campaign. Around 86 per cent of students in my school lived below the poverty. But we promised them a brighter future: if they came to our school, 100 per cent of them would earn admission to college, she told New India Abroad. She was a White House Fellow in 2020, serving on the White House Domestic Policy Council and at the US Department of Education, and later led public-sector initiatives at Apple. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker appointed her to the state's P-20 Council. This was Dandiya's first run for office. She initially filed to run in the 21st District against Republican Brian Mast, then moved to the open 22nd District after Florida's mid-decade redistricting, and won the Democratic primary on August 18. The district leans Republican by registration, with about 1,85,000 Republicans, 1,46,000 Democrats and 1,50,000 voters with other affiliations, Florida Politics reported. Dandiya campaigned on the cost of living, corruption, healthcare, education and gun safety. South Floridians are fed up with the rising costs and performative politics coming out of Washington, she told Florida Politics. The race drew heavy money. Through October 14, Dandiya raised about $4.6 million, while Askar raised about $7.4 million, most of it from loans to his own campaign. Askar's self-funding reached about $6.8 million, Federal Election Commission records show. No Going Back PAC, a super PAC funded by MAGA Inc., reported spending about $6.5 million against her by October 24, according to FEC filings. House Majority PAC, the main Democratic super PAC for House races, spent about $7.9 million against Askar. Dandiya won endorsements from the Indian American Impact Fund and Serve America PAC, and from Wellington's Republican mayor, Michael Napoleone. I've always believed that the person matters more than the party, and Pia has earned my respect and my endorsement, Napoleone said. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg campaigned with her on October 26. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said on X that she focused on the issues that matter most to South Florida -- addressing the affordability crisis and making sure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. Congratulations to @PiaforCongress for winning her election! I am so excited to welcome the third South Asian American woman (along with me and @aishabbwahab) to the House!!! Indian-American Representative Pramila Jayapal posted on X. Dandiya lives in Palm Beach Gardens with her husband, Navneet Alag, and their son, Sahib. Her win keeps the Indian-American Samosa Caucus in the House from shrinking in the new Congress.

Two cement pillars supporting railway tracks were damaged in a suspected blast near 50 GB village on the Anupgarh-Suratgarh railway line in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar district, police said on Tuesday.

NHRC seeks reports on alleged trafficking of minor girls from MP-Rajasthan to Maharashtra
The News Mill
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Serious violations of foreign-national registration requirements have come to light at Hotel Ellora in the Chitrakoot area of Rajasthan's Jaipur, officials said on Tuesday. An investigation by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) has revealed that two Thai women had stayed at the hotel without the mandatory registration formalities being completed. One of them was found staying beyond the validity of her visa, while the other subsequently died at Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital. According to FRRO official Dharmendra Sagar, a Thai woman had been staying at Hotel Ellora since October 19 despite her visa having expired. The hotel management allegedly failed to inform the police or submit the mandatory online C-Form within the prescribed timeframe. The investigation also revealed that hotel manager Vipin Maheshwari had not completed the registration formalities required to submit C-Forms. Taking serious note of these violations, the FRRO took the woman into custody, and a case was registered against the hotel operator at Chitrakoot police station under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025. During the investigation, officials also found that another Thai woman who had previously stayed at the same hotel had died at SMS Hospital a few days earlier. According to FRRO officials, she too had allegedly overstayed her visa and concealed her identity. The hotel management had reportedly failed to submit the mandatory C-Form in her case as well. Further investigation has revealed another concerning aspect. According to information provided by hotel staff, a foreign woman was allegedly accommodated using the passport of another foreign national who had recently been deported from Jaipur. The woman who had initially been staying at the hotel reportedly left two to three hours before the arrival of the other woman. Police are investigating the matter and collecting further information to establish the identities of those involved and verify the circumstances. In view of these violations, the FRRO has issued a strict advisory to all hotels, guesthouses, homestays and other accommodation providers in Jaipur. Establishments have been directed to verify the original passports and valid visas of foreign nationals before providing accommodation and ensure that the mandatory online C-Form is submitted within the prescribed timeframe. The FRRO has warned that strict legal action will be taken against establishments that fail to comply with foreign-national registration requirements, submit incorrect information or knowingly provide accommodation to foreign nationals concealing their identities or immigration status. The incident has highlighted serious lapses in compliance with mandatory foreign-guest registration procedures and prompted renewed scrutiny of verification practices at hotels and other accommodation establishments across Jaipur.
Gehlot hits back at Raj CM Sharma, demands evidence for allegations or apology within 24 hours
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) A fresh political confrontation has erupted between Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot following the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' (Save Democracy, End Anarchy) march and rally in Jodhpur on Tuesday. While addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Sharma launched a political attack on Gehlot and the previous Congress government. In response, the veteran Congress leader Gehlot rejected the Chief Minister's remarks, describing them as 'baseless' and demanding that he substantiate his allegations with documentary evidence or issue a public apology within 24 hours. In a statement posted on social media platform X, Gehlot said, I am deeply pained by the baseless remarks made by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma in Jodhpur today, which have no factual basis whatsoever. He has presented an entirely fabricated narrative by making false and personal allegations against me. I expect him to provide a detailed account, supported by facts and documents, to both me and the people of Rajasthan. Otherwise, he should apologise within 24 hours. He added that he had expected Chief Minister Sharma to maintain democratic decorum and clarify allegations of collusion, widely reported in the media, concerning the purchase of a villa by IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal, who served as Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister. He also questioned Chief Minister Sharma's role in the matter, saying that the Chief Minister himself chairs the board that approved special concessions for the Ananta company. The former Chief Minister said that instead of addressing these questions, the Chief Minister had made personal remarks and attempted to divert public attention from the allegations. Raising further questions, Gehlot asked Chief Minister Sharma to clarify his role in granting a special package to Ananta Resort. He said that Chief Minister Sharma chairs the Investment Board that approved the package and asked why the investigation had not been handed over to a central agency such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Gehlot also questioned the impartiality of an investigation conducted by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), which functions under the state government. How can an agency operating under the Chief Minister conduct an impartial investigation into a decision taken by a board chaired by the Chief Minister himself? he asked. Earlier, while addressing the BJP rally in Jodhpur, Chief Minister Sharma had criticised the previous Congress government, alleging that Rajasthan witnessed political instability and internal power struggles during Ashok Gehlot's tenure as the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister said that instead of addressing people's problems, the previous Congress-led state government remained preoccupied with political developments and confined itself to hotels. He also referred to the public disagreements between Gehlot and the then Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot. Taking a swipe at the Congress leadership, CM Sharma pointed to a recent Congress rally where, according to him, former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was not given a place on the stage while Rajasthan Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra was delivering his address. He described this as a reflection of the internal differences within the Congress. The Chief Minister also invoked his background as the son of a farmer, saying that the current BJP-led state government was working for the welfare of the farming community. Taking a jibe at Gehlot, whom he referred to as a 'magician', CM Sharma alleged that the former Chief Minister had exploited farmers rather than working in their interests. The Chief Minister also raised questions over appointments to the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), examination paper leak cases, and alleged corruption during the previous Congress government's tenure. Referring to the Jal Jeevan Mission controversy, CM Sharma alleged that Ministers and officials associated with the previous Congress government had been sent to jail in connection with the case. He also accused the former Chief Minister of favouring relatives and aides instead of prioritising public welfare. Chief Minister Sharma also referred to the arrest of Gehlot's former Personal Security Officer (PSO) Head Constable Rajkumar Yadav in connection with a paper leak case. The Chief Minister asserted that the current BJP government would take action against anyone found involved in corruption, irrespective of their position or influence.
Rajasthan Government Distributes
The Rajasthan government has allocated 1.09 billion to support girls education through the Gargi Award Scheme, emphasizing empowerment and social change. Rajasthan Government Distributes 1.09 Billion to Girls Under Gargi Award Scheme
Rs 109 crore distributed to 3.63 lakh girls under Gargi Award Scheme: Rajasthan CM
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that daughters are the strength of society and the nation. When girls receive education, good values, respect and equal opportunities, their progress benefits not only themselves but also their families and society as a whole. Education for girls, he said, is a powerful catalyst for social transformation. He noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign has brought about a positive change in social attitudes towards girls' education and empowerment across the country. The state government, too, is making sustained efforts to ensure accessible and quality education while providing girls with equal opportunities to progress. The Chief Minister was addressing a Pratibha Vikas Shivir (Talent Development Camp) at Adarsh Vidya Mandir in Mansarovar, Jaipur, on Tuesday. On the occasion, he also unveiled the poster for a knowledge examination based on the Ramayana. Sharma said that India's culture, shaped over thousands of years by sages, saints and great visionaries, has imparted invaluable lessons on life, values and duties. It is the responsibility of the present generation to pass on this rich heritage, the ideals of great personalities and cultural values to the younger generation. He emphasised that focusing only on rights is not enough; individuals must also understand their responsibilities towards their families, society and the nation. Respect and service towards parents, elders and family members, he said, remain defining features of Indian culture. The Chief Minister observed that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the policies of the double-engine government have created a favourable environment for the birth, education and greater social participation of girls. He said the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 places special emphasis on equal opportunities, safety and quality education for girls, with specific provisions to remove barriers to their education. Education, he added, should not be viewed merely as a means of securing good examination results, but as the foundation for developing an individual's personality, thinking and values. The Chief Minister said the state government is committed to providing quality education to every student. Under the financial assistance scheme for uniforms and school bags, 800 per student is being transferred directly to the bank accounts of students in Classes 1 to 8 and girls in Classes 9 to 12 through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). So far, Rs 482 crore has been disbursed to 66 lakh students through this mechanism. In addition, approximately Rs 250 crore has been transferred directly to the bank accounts of around 41.56 lakh students in Classes 1 to 8 to facilitate the provision of free uniforms. Smart classrooms have been established in more than 4,000 schools across the state, while digital libraries have been developed in 500 PM SHRI schools. More than 41,000 science and mathematics kits have also been distributed to over 20,000 schools. During the last two academic sessions, students have received more than 8 crore textbooks, 14 lakh bicycles and over 88,000 tablets, all free of cost. Furthermore, 4.41 lakh students have been provided free admission under the Right to Education (RTE) Act during the same period. Highlighting initiatives for girls' education and empowerment, Sharma said that Rs 109 crore has been distributed to 3.63 lakh girls under the Gargi Puraskar Yojana (Gargi Award Scheme). Similarly, more than 3 lakh girls have received Rs 158 crore under the Balika Protsahan Puraskar Yojana (Girl Child Encouragement Award Scheme). Under the PM POSHAN scheme, the Shri Krishna Bhog initiative enables donors, members of the public and teachers to sponsor meals for schoolchildren on special occasions. Sanitary pad vending machines have also been installed in more than 4,000 government schools. To ensure that children from disadvantaged communities and labourers' families remain connected to education, an on-demand examination facility has been introduced through the Rajasthan State Open School.

CM Mohan Yadav to hold meeting at Bhopal PHQ amid IPS officers resignation
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Nov 3 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will chair a meeting of senior police officers at the Police Headquarters in Bhopal on Tuesday evening, a day after 2014-batch IPS officer Anurag Sujania submitted his resignation. As the meeting is scheduled in the evening, senior police officers have been instructed to remain present at the headquarters, police sources said. The high-level discussion is expected to review the developments and address administrative matters arising from the officers exit. The development comes after Sujania, who was recently removed as Superintendent of Police (SP) of Sagar district, submitted his resignation on Monday, citing personal reasons. He was transferred to the post of Assistant Inspector General (AIG) at the Police Headquarters in Bhopal on October 27. Officials confirmed that the resignation was accepted on personal grounds, with no further official statement issued so far regarding any additional factors. His resignation came just four days after the transfer order. Sujania, originally from Rajasthan, was among four IPS officers transferred in the October 27 administrative reshuffle. Sanjeev Kumar Sinha, a 2016-batch IPS officer, was appointed the new SP of Sagar, replacing him. In the same reshuffle, Dewas SP Puneet Gehlot was transferred to the Police Headquarters, while Aditya Mishra was appointed as his successor. The changes came amid controversy over spurious liquor-related deaths in Sagar and Dewas districts, which had triggered criticism from the Opposition Congress over the handling of the incidents. However, the government did not officially attribute the transfers to the liquor tragedies. Sujania had served as Sagar SP for around six months. He had earlier held police assignments in Mandsaur and Morena districts and served as Sub-Divisional Officer of Police in Karera, Shivpuri. The Chief Minister's meeting assumes significance amid the recent administrative changes and the reported resignation of the IPS officer. However, there was no official indication that the meeting had been convened specifically to discuss Sujania's resignation.
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma launched a sharp attack on the Congress while speaking to the media at Jodhpur House in New Delhi on Tuesday, accusing it of promoting dynastic politics and repeatedly questioning constitutional institutions. He also criticised Congress leaders, including Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, over their remarks on India's culture, traditions and religious sites. The Chief Minister highlighted the Rajasthan government's achievements in development and the energy sector. Chief Minister Sharma described the Congress as a party driven by dynastic politics, claiming that even its own leaders and workers were frustrated by the prolonged wait for their turn to come to power. The Congress is a party of dynastic politics. Even its own people are disillusioned, wondering why their turn to hold power has not come despite 70 years. Its leaders are distressed by the agony of being out of power. They will have to remain in the Opposition for a long time, he said. Targeting the Congress over its allegations concerning Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), Chief Minister Sharma accused the party of adopting double standards, claiming that it accepts the machines when it wins elections but questions their credibility after defeat. He also criticised the Congress for repeatedly raising allegations against constitutional and independent institutions. During Operation Sindoor, the Congress levelled allegations against the Army. Now, it is targeting the Election Commission and the Judiciary. Is there any institution left that it has not accused? he asked. Expressing displeasure over remarks by Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, concerning India's culture, traditions and religious sites, CM Sharma accused the party of repeatedly questioning the country's cultural heritage. He said respect for India's rich cultural traditions and revered historical figures was essential. The Congress needs to change its mindset. It must learn to respect our great historical figures. Until it does so, the party's decline will only continue, he added. Highlighting the state's progress in the energy sector, CM Sharma said the Rajasthan government was committed to providing daytime electricity to farmers across all districts by 2027. He added that the supply of electricity during daytime hours had already begun in 27 districts. The Bharatiya Janata Party-led state government would also ensure adequate power supply to industries and uninterrupted 24-hour electricity for consumers, he said. Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, CM Sharma added that the country had witnessed significant development under his guidance and Rajasthan would also achieve new milestones in the energy sector. He asserted that the state was steadily moving towards self-reliance in energy production and supply.

Rajasthan High Court declares tax collection on Out-of-State private vehicles illegal
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) The Rajasthan High Court has declared the Transport Department's action of collecting road tax from private cars and jeeps registered in other states, allegedly on the grounds that they had been operated in Rajasthan for more than 30 days, illegal, in the absence of a specific statutory notification. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal and Justice Sameer Jain ruled that the Transport Department cannot impose or collect taxes on non-transport vehicles registered in other states without a valid notification issued under the relevant provisions of the law. While disposing of petitions filed by Harpi Core Network India Private Limited and others, the court directed the department to refund the taxes collected from the petitioners within 30 days and immediately release the seized vehicles. Several vehicle owners had approached the Rajasthan High Court challenging the Transport Department's action against their private vehicles, which were registered in states including Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The petitioners submitted that lifetime road tax had already been paid in their respective states at the time of registration. However, during routine inspections, flying squads of the Rajasthan Transport Department intercepted several such vehicles and initiated enforcement proceedings. The Rajasthan Transport Department maintained that these vehicles had been operating in Rajasthan for more than 30 days without payment of the prescribed state road tax. It argued that under Rule 28 of the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Rules, vehicles remaining in the state beyond 30 days were liable to pay tax under the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1951. Challenging the department's action, the petitioners argued that their vehicles were already registered in other states and that the applicable lifetime tax had been paid there. They contended that there was no legal basis for demanding a lump-sum tax in Rajasthan merely because the vehicles had been used in the state for more than 30 days. The petitioners also invoked Article 265 of the Constitution, which provides that no tax can be levied or collected except by authority of law. They argued that the Transport Department could not impose a tax merely by relying on administrative interpretations or notifications that did not specifically authorise such a levy. The Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma-led state government defended the department's action, arguing that private vehicles registered outside Rajasthan were being used in the state for periods exceeding 30 days and were, therefore, liable for taxation under the applicable rules. The government also cited a notification issued on July 10, 2024, which prescribed rates for one-time taxation of non-transport vehicles. It argued that the notification covered vehicles already registered in other states as well. Accordingly, the government maintained that the tax demands and seizure of vehicles were legally justified. After hearing both sides, the High Court observed that the July 10, 2024, notification prescribed tax rates for passenger and goods vehicles. However, there was no separate notification under the relevant statutory provision specifically authorising the levy of one-time tax on private non-transport cars registered in other states. The Bench held that merely mentioning vehicles registered in other states in a notification issued under a different provision does not fulfil the statutory requirement for imposing such a tax. The court clarified that when the law requires a specific notification for levying a particular tax, the government cannot collect it by relying on a notification issued under another provision. Consequently, the court held that the one-time tax demand against private cars registered in other states could not be sustained on the basis of the existing notification. The court directed the Transport Department to release the seized vehicles immediately and refund the tax collected from the petitioners within 30 days.
Raj CM's father casts vote in ancestral village, appeals to people to take part in polling
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Kishan Swaroop Sharma, the father of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, cast his vote in the ongoing panchayat elections in the state on Tuesday in his ancestral village of Atari. He reached the polling station at the government school in Atari Gram Panchayat and exercised his franchise at Booth number 112, located in room number 4. After casting his vote, Kishan Swaroop Sharma spoke to journalists and appealed to the people to participate in the electoral process in large numbers. He stressed that every voter's participation is crucial to strengthening democracy. He later spent some time at the village chaupal, interacting with residents and discussing issues concerning the village's development. He subsequently left for Bharatpur. Meanwhile, residents of Nagla Singhada village in Bayana Panchayat Samiti of Bharatpur district boycotted the Panchayat elections in protest against the village's removal from its original Gram Panchayat during the delimitation process. The villagers said Nagla Singhada was earlier part of Singhada Gram Panchayat but has now been merged with Bangaspura Gram Panchayat, located around four km away. They demanded that the village either be restored to Singhada Gram Panchayat or be granted independent Gram Panchayat status. After learning about the boycott, Tehsildar Nitesh Kumar Goyal reached the village and attempted to persuade the residents to participate in the polling. However, the villagers remained firm on their demands. The polling for the third phase of the Rajasthan Panchayat elections began at 7 a.m. on Tuesday and will continue until 6 p.m. The phase covers 377 wards across 27 Zila Parishads and 2,119 wards across 116 Panchayat Samitis.

Rajnath Singh stresses modernisation of armed forces, border security in Jaisalmer defence meet
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday chaired a meeting of the Defence Ministry's Parliamentary Consultative Committee in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The meeting focused on the modernisation of the Indian Armed Forces, border security and future defence challenges. The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), senior military officials and Members of Parliament (MPs) also attended the meeting. Addressing the committee, Singh highlighted the importance of modernising the Indian Armed Forces in view of the changing global security scenario, stating that geopolitical developments across the world directly influence India's security priorities. Explaining why such meetings are organised outside Delhi, the Defence Minister said they provide members with dedicated time for meaningful interaction and an opportunity to understand ground realities, particularly in border and forward areas. There are one or two specific reasons why we are holding this meeting outside Delhi. First, it gives all of us dedicated time to interact with one another, Singh said. He pointed out that parliamentary sessions leave members with little time for detailed discussions. Normally, when meetings are held during Parliament sessions, it is extremely difficult to even spare an hour for a meeting, he observed. While explaining the second reason, Singh said holding meetings in different regions helps policymakers understand the situation on the ground. The second reason is that holding meetings in these regions gives us an opportunity to understand ground realities, as well as the situation in border areas and forward locations, he said. Singh said Jaisalmer was selected following suggestions from committee members. This time, you suggested Jaisalmer, and accordingly, this meeting was scheduled here, he added. The Defence Minister also underlined the value of discussions and recommendations made by members of the Consultative Committee, saying they had proved beneficial in strengthening the decision-making process. I have personally experienced that the meetings of the Consultative Committee and the suggestions made by all of you are extremely beneficial for all of us, he said. Referring to the meeting's central theme, 'Modernisation of the Indian Armed Forces', Singh described it as particularly relevant in the present international security environment. I believe this subject is highly relevant in the current global security scenario. The geopolitical changes taking place across the world naturally influence our security-related priorities as well, he said. The meeting in Jaisalmer assumes significance given the region's strategic importance along India's western border and the need to assess India's defence preparedness amid evolving security challenges, he added. The Defence Minister said the government has increased the defence budget in 2026-27 to 7,85,000 crore. In fact, besides increasing the budget, we are also ensuring that it is thoroughly used. We are encouraging domestic manufacturing as well. We are also progressing in self-reliance in defence production, he added.

Of the 19 individuals, five, including the junior resident, have been suspended for three months, while the remaining 14 students have been suspended for one month. During the suspension period, all those penalised will be barred from clinical postings, academic activities and educational programmes. They will also be prohibited from entering college hostels, libraries and reading rooms. The action followed a complaint lodged through the University Grants Commission's (UGC) anti-ragging helpline. An inquiry by the college's anti-ragging committee reportedly found the accused guilty of serious misconduct, indecent behaviour and exerting undue pressure on junior students. Subsequently, the Principal's office issued suspension orders. According to the complaint, first-year MBBS students alleged that senior students had subjected them to intimidation, humiliation and indecent behaviour, besides imposing arbitrary rules. The dispute reportedly erupted during a 'Clean Campus Drive' organised on the college premises on October 28. The junior students alleged that seniors from the 2025 batch were forcing them to remain clean-shaven, maintain specified hairstyles, stand for extended periods and wear formal clothes. Following the incident, the students approached the UGC's anti-ragging helpline, prompting the college administration to initiate an inquiry. The latest action assumes significance as it is reportedly the second ragging complaint at the medical college within a month. Following the escalation of the matter to the UGC, the anti-ragging committee conducted an investigation and recommended disciplinary action. The college administration has taken action with the stated objective of curbing ragging and ensuring a safe academic environment for newly admitted students. Earlier, the Government Medical College in Rajasthans Barmer took disciplinary action against 80 students after an inquiry into complaints that seniors subjected juniors to obscene WhatsApp messages, verbal abuse and mental harassment. The college administration imposed the penalties following an investigation and recommendations from its Anti-Ragging Committee.

IAS Shikhar Agrawal case: Rajasthan CM reaffirms zero-tolerance policy on corruption
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 2 (IANS) Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has reiterated the state government's zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, emphasising transparency, accountability and strict financial discipline in government schemes and investment promotion. Following the Chief Minister's intervention, the State-Level Scrutiny Committee of the Industries and Commerce Department has put on hold the customised package approved for M/s Goyal Fashions Private Limited under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS). The company will not receive any benefits or concessions until the preliminary ACB investigation is concluded. The Commissioner of Industries and Commerce has issued the necessary orders. The decision assumes significance in light of the allegations involving senior IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal, former Additional Chief Secretary of the Industries Department, and Goyal Fashions Private Limited, which operates resorts under the Ananta brand. The Rajasthan government has approved a detailed ACB investigation into allegations that Agrawal misused his official position to extend undue benefits to the company in return for personal and family-related benefits. The allegations include preferential concessions, relaxations in resort construction norms and approvals without proper verification of mandatory certificates. The ACB is also examining property transactions involving Agrawal and his family members. Preliminary findings reportedly point to the purchase of multiple villas and cottages at Ananta resorts in Udaipur and Alwar at prices allegedly below market value. Investigators are examining the financial transactions, timing of registrations and possible links with government concessions. The government has granted approval for further investigation under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma's government has made it clear that industrial development and investment promotion cannot come at the cost of transparency and integrity. The decision to withhold Goyal Fashions' benefits pending investigation underscores its commitment to protecting public resources and ensuring that government incentives are granted strictly in accordance with the rules.

Ranji Trophy: Dubey Picks Nine Scalps As Vidarbha Bowl Out Madhya Pradesh For 209
For Central Zone: Left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey rewrote the Vidarbha record books on Monday by claiming 9-53 to bowl out Madhya Pradesh for 209 on an eventful opening day of their Ranji Trophy match at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha. Dubey became the first bowler from Vidarbha to claim a nine-wicket haul in an innings of the Ranji Trophy. The previous best figures for the side was Arun Ogirals 8-39 in 1967-68, which ironically came against Madhya Pradesh. Dubey is now the 30th bowler overall to take nine or more wickets in an innings in the Ranji Trophy. It was Vidarbha all-rounder Nachiket Bhute, though, who made the first breakthrough by removing opener Yash Dubey. From there onwards, the innings belonged to Harsh. He opened his account in the 17th over and kept chipping away, leaving Madhya Pradesh at 64/5 in the 29th over. Atharva Mahajan and Saransh Jain resisted with a 72-run stand. It lasted nearly 18 overs before Dubey returned to break it, and the lower order did not survive long after that. The last nine-wicket haul in the Ranji Trophy came from Gujarats left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai, who took 9-36 against Uttarakhand in 2024-25. Mondays spell adds to a big year for Dubey, who made his ODI debut against Afghanistan in June and took four wickets in two matches. He then toured Sri Lanka with India A, taking three wickets and scoring 59 runs across two innings. For Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy, he took eight wickets and made 27 and 24 against East Zone. He has carried that form into the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, with 23 wickets in seven innings so far. Elsewhere, Karnatakas Ritesh Bhatkal (5-35) and Shikhar Shetty (5-53) shared 10 wickets to bowl Assam out for 135 inside 49 overs in Guwahati. Rohan Patil then hit 89 off 87 balls, with 13 fours and a six, and added 129 for the opening wicket with Mayank Agarwal, who was unbeaten on 57, as Karnataka got a 45-run lead. In Dharamsala, 20 wickets fell on the opening day. Rajasthan chose to bat and were shot out for 78, with Abhishek Kumar taking five wickets for Himachal Pradesh. Sahil Dhiwan replied with a five-wicket haul for Rajasthan, but Himachal still made 153 for a lead of 75. Mayank Mishra took 6-57 as Uttarakhand bowled out Haryana for 153 after they elected to bat. In Chandigarh, Pradosh Ranjan Pauls unbeaten 138 powered Tamil Nadu to 320/4 against the hosts. N Jagadeesan (52) and Baba Indrajith (51) also scored fifties. Punjab recovered from 71/5 to reach 276/5 against Andhra, thanks to an unbroken 205-run stand for the sixth wicket between Salil Arora (111 not out) and Sanvir Singh (100 not out). In Ahmedabad, Aarya Desai fell five short of a century as Gujarat crossed 300 against Kerala. He added 116 with Abhishek Desai, and after Gujarat slipped to 182/4, Urvil Patel (63 not out) and Vishal Jayswal (50 not out) put on an unbeaten 111-run stand. Opener Dhruv Patel made 124 to lift Baroda to 269/6 in Kanpur. He added 88 with Shashwat Rawat (47) and 108 with Mitesh Patel (49) after Baroda were 54/2. His dismissal set off a late wobble, with three wickets falling on 249 in four deliveries across two overs. Services captain Rajat Paliwal came in at number five with his side at 27/3 and made an unbeaten 111 to take them to 266 in 88 overs against Delhi at Palam. Snehal Kauthankars unbeaten 116 rescued Goa from 54/4 after they chose to bat against Bihar at home, as they ended day one at 288/6 in 87 overs. At the CCI in Mumbai, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (78) and Sarfaraz Khan (55) struck half-centuries and captain Siddesh Lad made 47 as Mumbai reached 247/6 in 83 overs after being put in by Railways. Sridam Pauls 86 led Tripuras fightback against Saurashtra as the hosts reached 219/7 at stumps at the MBB Stadium. Put in to bat after Saurashtra won the toss, Tripura slumped to 28/5 inside 19 overs. Paul then added 125 for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Sentu Sarkar, who made 46. Manisankar Murasingh (33) and Bikram Debnath (32) were unbeaten at the close, after Tripura had batted 74.3 overs. Parth Bhut was the pick of the Saurashtra bowlers with 3-52 in 19 overs, including two maidens. Chetan Sakariya took two wickets, while Yuvraj Dodiya and Sammar Gajjar claimed one each.
