Investment summits mask Andhras economic decline: YSRCP
Digital Desk | Tadepalli, Nov 13 (IANS) The YSR Congress Party on Friday slammed the Chandrababu Naidu-led coalition government for misleading people with extravagant investment summits and publicity campaigns while Andhra Pradesh's economy continues to deteriorate. Addressing the media at the YSRCP Central Office, YSRCP spokesperson Putta Sivashankar said the government and its supportive media were projecting imaginary development to divert attention from unfulfilled election promises. He cited CAG and APERC figures, highlighting declining electricity consumption, stagnant tax revenues and rising unemployment as evidence of economic distress. According to APERC figures, electricity sales through DISCOMs declined from 71,722 million units in 202324 to 70,885 million units in 202526. Electricity dispatch also fell from 79,758 million units to 78,546 million units, a reduction of 1,212 million units. He questioned how electricity demand could decline if new industries were genuinely coming up and economic activity was expanding. Citing CAG data, he said the state's own tax revenue increased marginally from Rs. 85,922.36 crore in 202324 to Rs. 86,552 crore in 202526, reflecting negligible growth against the expected annual rate of 1012%. Sivashankar said Andhra Pradesh's unemployment ranking deteriorated from fourth to third nationally between the first two quarters of 202627. Challenging the government's claims of 20 lakh jobs, he demanded village-wise employment records, PF and ESI contributions, and proof of even 20,000 new jobs. He described investment summits and foreign roadshows as diversionary publicity exercises that produced announcements rather than actual investments. Questioning the massive Reliance investment claims, he asked why even a photograph of a company representative signing the MoU was unavailable. He said slogans about growth engines, quantum technology and artificial intelligence cannot conceal the state's deteriorating economic conditions. Meanwhile, former Minister Buggana Rajendranath warned that undermining the electoral system would endanger Andhra Pradeshs democratic institutions and future. He urged the government to ensure that the upcoming Gram Panchayat elections are conducted lawfully, freely and fairly, without political interference, intimidation or electoral malpractices. YSRCP leaders, led by Nandyal District President Katasani Rambhupal Reddy, submitted a memorandum to Kurnool Range DIG Koya Praveen seeking impartial conduct of the elections. Speaking to the media outside the DIG office, Buggana said the violence and irregularities witnessed during the recent municipal and local body elections resembled situations once associated with Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Such developments damage democracy, Andhra Pradeshs future and the state's reputation, he said.

Cost of distance: UP's Gorakhpur brings childhood cancer care closer to home
Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Nov 13 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's Gorakhpur constituency is emerging as a model for decentralised childhood cancer care with the state government, along with other stakeholders, strengthening regional treatment hubs, shared-care networks and financial protection. A recent Indian study has highlighted the children are forced to travel long distances to reach specialised treatment centres, suggesting better paediatric oncology services beyond metros. Published in the Journal of Cancer Policy in September 2026, the study 'Motorised travel time to access childhood cancer care in India: A multi-centre geospatial analysis', examined 22,328 children receiving treatment at three major cancer centres in Delhi and Chennai. It found a median estimated travel time of 161 minutes, with nearly three-quarters of children travelling more than an hour to reach treatment. At Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College in Gorakhpur, the development of a dedicated paediatric oncology service -- equipped for cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, medicines and patient-family support -- is demonstrating how government medical colleges can become stronger regional treatment hubs, a government official said. Doctor Kuldeep Singh, Assistant Professor of Paediatrics, said that the centre has attended to more than 100 childhood cancer patients since 2023. The 30-bed paediatric oncology ward is also serving families from neighbouring districts, Bihar and Nepal. As India marks Children's Day on November 14, the findings of the travel-time study serve as a reminder that the location of treatment services can impact a child's journey through cancer, he added. The strengthening of services at BRD Medical College builds on Project Suddridh, a paediatric oncology capacity-building initiative launched in the Gorakhpur region in 2022, and the May 2023 Memorandum of Understanding between national society CanKids and the Uttar Pradesh government's National Health Mission. For children in North Purvanchal, it means that better care can be provided within the region rather than requiring repeated journeys to Delhi, Mumbai or other distant cities. Uttar Pradesh, with an estimated 14,700 new childhood cancer cases annually among children and adolescents aged 019, is a priority state for policy makers for demonstrating an integrated approach to childhood cancer control, an official said, pointing to a model organised around four proposed Childhood Cancer District Divisions (CCDDs). The approach seeks to strengthen designated government medical colleges and tertiary hospitals as regional treatment hubs, while connecting them to district hospitals, other healthcare facilities and community health services through a structured hub-and-spoke network. For families affected by childhood cancer, long-distance treatment involves much more than travel expenses. Accommodation, food, lost wages, disrupted schooling and separation from family support systems can place an enormous burden on households. In 2016, Shaila and Pramod Giri travelled from Gorakhpur to AIIMS, Delhi, after their daughter Anshika was diagnosed with blood cancer. They made more than 20 trips and faced significant livelihood disruption. Anshika completed treatment. Today her parents work as a care coordinators in Gorakhpur, helping children with cancer and their families. In another case, Sanskriti and her family travelled from Siwan in Bihar to AIIMS, Delhi, for their daughter's surgery. With patient support and care coordination, her subsequent chemotherapy could be provided at BRD Medical College, allowing her father to return to work while treatment continued closer to home. Such examples demonstrate the importance of coordinated referrals and shared-care arrangements between specialist institutions and regional hospitals. Poonam Bagai, ICMR Central Ethics Committee on Human Research Member, Cankids founder and Childhood Cancer International's WHO South East Asia Region Representative, said, Uttar Pradesh is our demonstration model for how this can be achieved through sustained partnership with government and all concerned stakeholders. BRD Medical College in North Purvanchal shows what is possible, and we want to build on this experience across the state. The approach is not limited to Uttar Pradesh as we are working with other state governments as well, she added. Bagai emphasised that improving geographic access alone is insufficient. Bringing treatment closer to home must go hand in hand with financial protection, she said. India's 2030 goals are 100 per cent access to care, 100 per cent financial protection and at least 60 per cent survival, aligned with the UNGA80 call, the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer and Universal Health Coverage. The Uttar Pradesh demonstration model also envisages improved mapping of treatment facilities, patient registration, referral tracking, financial protection monitoring and outcome measurement to guide further expansion, she said.
Nepal and India discuss Buddhist-Ramayana tourism circuits, expanded air connectivity
Digital Desk | Kathmandu, Nov 13 (IANS) Newly appointed Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Sudhakar Dalela, on Friday called on two Nepali cabinet ministers and the country's Foreign Secretary, as the two countries prepare the groundwork for an upcoming visit by Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah to New Delhi. Dalela met Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Khadak Raj Paudel and Minister for Infrastructure Development Sunil Lamsal and discussed ways to expand cooperation in tourism, aviation and infrastructure. In a statement, Nepal's Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation said the two sides discussed developing integrated Buddhist and Ramayana tourism circuits and expanding bilateral air connectivity, including regular commercial flights linking Nepal's two international airports outside Kathmandu with major Indian cities. Nepal and India share Buddhist and Ramayana heritage and several important religious pilgrimage sites. Lumbini in Nepal is the birthplace of Lord Buddha, who attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya in India's Bihar and attained Mahaparinirvana at Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh. Likewise, the two countries share important pilgrimage sites associated with the Ramayana. Ayodhya in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is traditionally regarded as the birthplace of Lord Ram, while Janakpur in Nepal is revered as the birthplace of Goddess Sita. Preparations are also underway to launch a special train service connecting Janakpurdham with Ayodhya. In early November, India conducted a trial run for the proposed Ayodhya-Janakpur railway service, marking a step towards establishing a direct rail connection between the two religious cities. According to the ministry, the two sides also discussed joint tourism promotion and the development of integrated Buddhist and Ramayana tourism circuits to promote their shared religious and cultural heritage and strengthen people-to-people ties. Both sides underscored the importance of preserving their common cultural heritage and expanding cooperation in areas of mutual interest to further deepen the longstanding historical, cultural and friendly relations between the two neighbouring countries. During the meeting, Minister Paudel emphasised the need to operate regular commercial flights connecting Pokhara International Airport and Gautam Buddha International Airport with major Indian cities. Nepal has long been seeking additional air entry routes from India to improve the viability of the two international airports outside Kathmandu and attract more international visitors. The ministry said Paudel called for securing additional air entry routes and strengthening bilateral cooperation in aviation safety and technical capacity building. In a social media post, the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu said the meeting between Dalela and Paudel featured a productive exchange of views on enhancing connectivity, people-to-people ties and tourism. The embassy reaffirmed its commitment to further strengthening the close ties of friendship and cooperation between India and Nepal. Dalela also held a separate meeting with Minister Lamsal on Friday. During the meeting, they discussed ways to deepen bilateral collaboration in infrastructure development and connectivity, the Indian Embassy said. In another meeting with Nepal's Foreign Secretary Amrit Bahadur Rai, discussions focused on various aspects of bilateral cooperation and ways to strengthen relations between the two countries, the embassy said. Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a social media post that the two sides exchanged views on various aspects of Nepal-India relations and discussed ways to further strengthen bilateral cooperation for the mutual benefit of the two countries and their peoples. Dalela presented his credentials to President Ramchandra Paudel on November 6, formally assuming his role as India's ambassador to Nepal.

The CO said that around 10.30 p.m. on November 12, police received information that the two suspects were roaming on the Radhakund-Govardhan Road and planning another crime. Acting on the tip-off, police set up a cordon and began checking vehicles near Nagla Pisawa turn, ahead of Maharishi School on the Govardhan-Ral Road. When the police attempted to stop two men riding a motorcycle without a number plate, the suspects allegedly opened fire at the team with the intention of killing them. In the retaliatory firing, Jagdish alias Kale (27) sustained a bullet injury to his leg. Both suspects were subsequently apprehended. The second accused was identified as Ram Kishan (34). Police said Jagdish has 14 criminal cases registered against him, while Ram Kishan has three.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak on Friday said the BJP would hold a major meeting with its district presidents regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, adding that party workers would visit voters
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief, Raj Thackeray, on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing it of attempting to manufacture regional and linguistic conflict in Mumbai ahead of Chhath Puja to reap political dividends in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. In a strongly-worded statement, Thackeray urged the Marathi populace and his party cadrethe Maharashtra Sainiksto exercise strategic restraint and refrain from falling into what he described as a rap laid by the BJP. Thackerays remarks come amid heightened political tension in Mumbai following controversies over Bhojpuri songs being played over public announcement systems at several railway stations, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Wadala. While MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) workers objected to the broadcasts, Thackeray alleged the episode was part of a broader, orchestrated campaign on social media to frame the festival as a cultural invasion and provoke a backlash. The BJP remains frustrated because the conflict they so desire has failed to materialise, Thackeray stated, claiming the partys traditional divide and rule playbook was losing traction. He accused the BJP of routinely polarising communities along religious lines ahead of Lok Sabha polls, stoking caste tensions before state elections, and manufacturing regional frictionsuch as the kabutarkhana (pigeon-feeding) disputeduring civic polls. Drawing parallels to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharajs guerrilla warfare tactics, the MNS chief advised his supporters not to react impulsively on a battlefield of their choosing. Do not take our restraint as a sign of cowardice, Thackeray warned, adding that his party would choose the time and manner of its response. He also addressed North Indian and Gujarati residents in Mumbai directly, cautioning them against being used as political pawns while reiterating that Maharashtra belongs to the Marathas. Beyond the Chhath Puja row, Thackeray broadened his offensive against the Centre and state leadership, alleging crony capitalism and environmental degradation. He accused the government of selling off Maharashtra piece by piece to a favoured industrialist, alleging that forest lands and parts of the Sahyadri mountain range were being handed over while society remained unvigilant. Thackeray also questioned the impartiality of the Election Commission and claimed that youth-led Gen Z unrest signaled the beginning of the BJPs political decline at both the Centre and state levels. Concluding his message, he challenged the BJP to move past divisive politics and urged Marathi citizens to remain alert and united.

BJP chief Nitin Nabin takes holy dip in Ganga on first day of Chhath Puja
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 13 (IANS) BJP National President Nitin Nabin on Friday performed rituals to mark the beginning of Chhath Puja. He took a holy dip in the Ganga here along with his family and offered prayers. Speaking to IANS, Nabin said, The beginning of this festival itself holds special significance. Chhath is a festival of public faith, and its observance evokes deep devotion among people across Bihar and the country who follow Hindu traditions. Chhath songs remind us of generations of our families, recalling how our grandmothers and ancestors observed the festival. I believe such a strong sense of family bonding is rarely seen in any other form of worship. The four-day Chhath Puja festival began on Friday with the traditional ritual of 'Nahay Khay', marking the commencement of one of the most sacred Hindu festivals dedicated to the worship of the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya. The first day is observed with rituals centred on cleanliness, purity and devotion. Devotees wake up early, take a holy bath in rivers, ponds or at home, sometimes mixing Ganga water with bathing water, and thoroughly clean their homes and kitchens before beginning the festivities. A special satvik meal is prepared on this occasion, with devotees traditionally consuming boiled rice, chana dal and kaddu (bottle gourd or pumpkin) curry. Particular attention is paid to cleanliness and purity while preparing food, as it marks the beginning of the strict religious observances associated with the festival. Chhath Puja, which has its roots in Bihar, Jharkhand and eastern Uttar Pradesh, is now celebrated with immense devotion across several parts of the country. The festival is observed after Diwali and Bhai Dooj and holds special significance for families seeking the blessings of the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya. This year, the celebrations will continue from Friday to November 16, with four major rituals marking each day: 'Nahay Khay', 'Kharna', 'Sandhya Arghya' and 'Usha Arghya'. The main worship is performed on the sixth day of the bright fortnight of the Hindu month of Kartik, when devotees offer prayers to the setting and rising Sun. Chhath Puja is also known by several names, including Surya Shashthi, Chhath, Chhathi, Chhath Parv, Dala Puja and Dala Chhath. It is particularly associated with the well-being of children, the longevity of family members and the prosperity of households. During the four-day observance, devotees, particularly women, undertake a rigorous fast and follow prescribed rituals with unwavering faith. They pray for the long life, good health and bright future of their children, while seeking happiness, peace and prosperity for their families. According to religious beliefs, worshipping the Sun God during the month of Kartik brings health, happiness and success. The festival also holds a special place in Hindu tradition because of its association with Shashthi Tithi, which is believed to bring blessings for children's longevity and well-being. The most distinctive feature of Chhath Puja is the offering of Arghya to the Sun, first at sunset and then at sunrise. Through these rituals, devotees express gratitude to the Sun God, regarded as the source of life and energy, and seek divine blessings for their families.
