Powerful blast at Ghaziabad police outpost; food delivery worker injured
Digital Desk | Ghaziabad, Nov 7 (IANS) A powerful explosion was reported at the Vasundhara police outpost, located under the jurisdiction of the Indirapuram police station in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, officials said on Saturday. The explosion occurred late on Friday night and triggered panic in the surrounding locality. The intensity of the blast was such that it shattered the windows and damaged the air conditioning units installed at the police outpost, officials said. The sound of the explosion was reportedly heard from a considerable distance. No police personnel were present inside the outpost when the incident took place, according to the officials. However, a 20-year-old food delivery worker, identified as Vishal, sustained injuries in the explosion. He has been admitted to a private hospital in Delhi's Surya Nagar for treatment, police said. According to the officials, Vishal, a resident of Arthala in Ghaziabad, works as a food delivery executive. He was making a delivery when the blast occurred, and the shattered glass hit Vishal. Following information about the explosion, police personnel and officials from the relevant investigative agencies rushed to the spot. Considering the seriousness of the incident, a forensic team from Ghaziabad and the bomb disposal squad were also summoned to examine the site, officials said.

From Vadodara to Palam: The Unforgettable Indian Experiences of Overseas Umpires
Believe it: Australian umpire Ben Treloar recently officiated in two Ranji Trophy matches. His first assignment was the Delhi-Gujarat fixture in Palam, followed by Mumbais match against Haryana. Similarly, Indian umpire Parashar Joshi will officiate in two Sheffield Shield matches and a One Day Cup fixture in Australia. The exchange is part of the 2026 Umpire Exchange Programme between Cricket Australia (CA) and the BCCI. Before Treloar, several foreign umpires had officiated in Indian domestic matches under similar programmes, returning home with vivid memories and interesting stories. Australian umpire Greg Davidsons visit to India in 2020 gave him memories that went well beyond cricket. He officiated in his first Ranji Trophy match in Vadodara, Gujarat, before his next assignment took him to Mumbai. At six feet ten inches, Davidson was hard to miss. People approached him for photographs and selfies, making him feel like a celebrity. The Mumbai airport was very noisy and crowded, like a jam-packed cricket stadium, he recalled. Davidson and his wife, Tracey, also experienced Indian hospitality away from the cricket ground. Tracey, a schoolteacher, was taken to local primary schools in Mumbai by Indian match referee Varsha Nagrey, giving the couple a glimpse of another side of Indian life. Davidson had expected dry, dusty pitches in India. Instead, he found a fair amount of grass and good carry on the surfaces. South African umpire Lubabalo Gcuma discovered that Indian pitches presented a different challenge. In November 2016, he officiated in the Ranji Trophy match between Assam and Maharashtra in Chennai. Officiating here is a different thing altogether, he observed, explaining that the ball could spin sharply or jump off the surface. Standing on a dusty, turning pitch while dealing with loud appeals from several close-in fielders demanded a different level of alertness from what he was used to in South Africa. In November 2016, Australian umpire Sam Nogajski fell ill during a Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh in Mysuru. He suffered stomach pain and loose motions and was admitted to hospital with dehydration. His illness forced him to withdraw, leaving his Indian colleague, Virender Sharma, in an unusual situation. A reserve umpire, Vejith D, was available, but he was not part of the BCCI umpiring panel and could not take over the on-field duties at the bowlers end. He could serve only as the square-leg umpire. As a result, Sharma had to officiate from both ends. Former England player-turned-umpire Martin Saggers also noted the differences in crowd energy and playing conditions during his Ranji Trophy assignments. He praised the hospitality but pointed out that the long Indian domestic season and dry, abrasive outfields demanded different physical preparation from that required for English county cricket. Treloars first assignment in India was an adventure in Palam. One unusual feature was the regular sight and sound of aircraft overhead. Located in an aviation-heavy part of Delhi, the ground had planes flying over it repeatedly during the four-day match. Delhi piled up 648 for six before declaring, while Gujarat replied with 479. Treloar stood through 318.5 overs in the drawn match. It was his first experience of officiating in an innings in which a team scored around 650. He spent almost the entire match at one end, with only four overs at the other. Treloars Indian experience also brought some unexpected interactions. Players from Delhi and Gujarat approached him to ask where he came from and what he was doing there. He was impressed by their passion for the game and the hospitality shown by players, team management, ground staff and catering staff. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Away from cricket, Treloar explored Delhis markets, bought spices and sampled local food, including dal, vegetable curries, garlic-butter naan and vada pav. A keen cook at home, he was already thinking of taking some Indian flavours back to his family in Australia.
V-P Radhakrishnan to join Ayodhya Deepotsav 2026 today
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan will visit Ayodhya on Saturday to participate in Deepotsav 2026. During his visit, the Vice-President will offer prayers at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and participate in the symbolic coronation ceremony of Shri Ram in Ayodhya, an official said on Friday. He will also felicitate revered saints on the occasion. Ayodhya Deepotsav 2026 on Saturday will mark the 10th anniversary of the grand festival of lights ahead of Diwali on Sunday. Organisers are aiming to light more than 30 to 33 lakh earthen diyas across 56 ghats, including the primary centre at Ram Ki Paidi and the Saryu River banks, a statement said. The 2026 edition of Deepotsav commenced in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya earlier on Thursday, with river banks being illuminated with lakhs of 'diyas'. The banks of the Gomti River at Maa Kamakhya Dham, near Ayodhya, were illuminated with 1.51 lakh diyas during the sixth annual Deepotsav. Earlier this week, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the economic significance of the grand Deepotsav celebrations in Ayodhya, saying that every earthen lamp lit during the festival illuminates the hard work of potters, the produce of farmers and the livelihoods of local families. The Chief Minister shared a post on social media platform X, stating that the grand Deepotsav in Ayodhya Dham was giving fresh momentum to the economy along with strengthening faith. The grand Deepotsav of Shri Ayodhya Dham is giving fresh momentum to the economy along with faith. Every diya lit here is bringing new light to the hard work of a potter, the produce of a farmer and the livelihood of a family, he wrote. The Chief Minister further said that such radiance was missing earlier, alleging that there had been no initiative to connect Ayodhya's immense cultural potential with the prosperity of local artisans, farmers and small traders. There was a complete lack of vision to transform the strength of faith into new livelihood opportunities. The double-engine government has dispelled this darkness, he said. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the grand festival, illuminated by lakhs of diyas, was now creating new opportunities for employment and business for potters, labourers and small traders, CM Yogi added.

Govt launches Semicon 2.0 portal, clears 12 more electronics component projects worth Rs 7,503 crore
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 6 (IANS) Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday launched the Semicon 2.0 web application portal under the Semicon India Programme and announced the approval of 12 new applications under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), marking another push to strengthen India's semiconductor and electronics manufacturing capabilities. The launch follows the Union Cabinet's approval of Semicon 2.0 with a fiscal outlay of Rs 1.27 lakh crore under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). The next phase of the programme is focused on six strategic pillars, including chip design, semiconductor equipment and materials, fabrication units, ATMP/OSAT facilities, research and development, and talent development. With the launch of the portal, applications have gone live for Pillars 2, 3 and 4, which focus on machines and materials, new semiconductor fabrication facilities, and further strengthening of the assembly, testing, marking and packaging ecosystem. Highlighting the progress made under the first phase of the programme, the government said 12 semiconductor projects with cumulative investments exceeding Rs 1.64 lakh crore have been approved across six states, with five of them already commencing commercial production as of October 2026. The semiconductor ecosystem has also expanded through startup and academic participation. According to the government, 105 startups have received access to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, 24 startups have been supported through funding, while 15 startups have secured venture capital investments. In addition, 332 academic institutions have been provided EDA tools under the Chips to Startup (C2S) programme, helping train around 70,000 students. Alongside the Semicon 2.0 launch, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology approved 12 additional projects under ECMS involving projected investments of Rs 7,503 crore. The approved projects are expected to generate production worth Rs 39,045 crore and create 7,127 direct jobs. The latest approvals come after clearance of 106 applications involving investments of Rs 69,548 crore announced earlier under the scheme. The newly approved projects span components, supply chain products and capital goods. They include manufacturing of multilayer printed circuit boards, relays, heat sinks and specialty ceramics, as well as key supply-chain products such as copper foil, anode material, cathode active material, polypropylene film and camera rims. The projects are spread across Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, expanding the geographical footprint of India's electronics component manufacturing sector. The government said the approvals include first-time support under ECMS for copper foil, cathode active material and specialty ceramics, broadening the range of electronics components and upstream materials being produced domestically. Speaking at the event, Vaishnaw said India's electronics manufacturing industry has moved beyond basic assembly operations and is increasingly building capabilities across modules, components, materials and advanced technologies. He noted that the country is developing strengths in areas such as battery cells, copper foils, copper-clad laminates and advanced printed circuit boards, while government schemes are creating opportunities for MSMEs.
Bihar court convicts husband of murdering pregnant wife; acquits mother-in-law
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 6 (IANS) A court in Bihar's Bagaha has convicted a man of murdering his pregnant wife in a dowry-related case, while acquitting his mother-in-law due to a lack of evidence. The court of Additional District Judge (ADJ)-IV Manvendra Mishra found Pramod Yadav alias Bhutti Yadav guilty of murdering his wife, Sandhya Yadav. The court has fixed November 20, 2026, for hearing arguments on the quantum of sentence. Assistant Public Prosecutor (APP) Manu Rao said the conviction was based on witness testimonies and other evidence presented by the prosecution during the trial. According to the prosecution, Sandhya was pregnant at the time of her murder, and the unborn child also lost its life in the incident. The victim was pregnant at the time of the murder. Consequently, along with Sandhya, the child in her womb also lost its life. The court has found her husband, Pramod Yadav alias Bhutti Yadav, guilty in the case, Rao said. According to the case details, Garbhan Yadav, a resident of Anrahwa Nauka Tola under Padrauna police station in Uttar Pradesh's Kushinagar district, married his 23-year-old daughter, Sandhya, to Pramod Yadav of Chankuhwa village under Piprasi police station in Bihar's West Champaran district on June 5, 2025, according to Hindu rituals.

Her husband reportedly visited her parental home and demanded an additional Rs 2 lakh as dowry. The case took a tragic turn on September 11, 2025, when her family received information around 4 a.m. that Sandhya was unwell. When her relatives reached her matrimonial home, they allegedly found that she had been murdered. Following the incident, a case was registered against her husband, mother-in-law Leelavati Devi, brother-in-law and sister-in-law. During the trial, the prosecution presented witness statements and other evidence to establish the husband's involvement in the crime.
