Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh is set to inaugurate projects and initiatives worth Rs 251.56 lakh in Sikkim to strengthen dairy development and livestock infrastructure, an official statement said on Monday. The minister will visit Gangtok and Mangan districts of Sikkim from November 2-3. During the visit, he will review dairy development initiatives and inaugurate a microbiology laboratory for the Sikkim Milk Union under the National Programme for Dairy Development (NPDD). He will also launch initiatives for the establishment of 57 new Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCSs) under White Revolution 2.0 and distribute registration certificates to five newly registered DCSs. Additionally, the formation of 15 new DCSs in North Sikkim will be launched, enabling more dairy farmers to become part of the cooperative dairy network. A traceability initiative for Churpi cheese manufactured in Gangtok and Jorethang will also be unveiled, said the statement. The minister will further promote two Fodder Plus Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) for the Sikkim Milk Union under the Government of India's 10,000 FPO Scheme. He will also unveil new products, including organic honey, Niger seed-blended powder, and organic biscuits and sweets made from millets and buckwheat, marking a significant step towards product diversification and value addition. Sikkim has played a significant role in dairy development in the Northeastern Region (NER), with milk production of approximately 89.35 thousand metric tonnes and per capita milk availability of around 352 grams per day during 202425. To support the growth of the dairy sector in the state, DAHD has released Rs 7,093.99 lakh under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM) since 2014. Furthermore, a special project worth Rs 2,763.92 lakh has been sanctioned for the development and conservation of the indigenous Siri cattle breed.

Digital Desk | Seoul, Nov 2 (IANS) South Korea's Defence Ministry launched a new drone headquarters Monday, aiming to bolster unmanned aerial systems and counter-drone capabilities amid North Korea's evolving drone threats, officials said. The launch ceremony took place at the Defence Drone Headquarters in Pocheon, about 40 kilometres north of Seoul, attended by Vice Defence Minister Lee Doo-hee and other military officials, the ministry said. The new headquarters replaces the existing Drone Operations Command as a drone control tower to establish drone and counter-drone strategies and handle the development of drone and anti-drone systems across all armed services, it said. The existing drone command had focused primarily on executing drone operations, reports Yonhap news agency. The launch of the new drone headquarters came as a follow-up measure to the comprehensive unmanned systems development policy announced in June, designed to bolster South Korea's unmanned defence capabilities as drones emerge as a game changer on the modern battlefield. North Korea is accelerating its drone development, drawing on lessons from its troop deployment in Russia's war against Ukraine. The North recently conducted weapons tests last week that simulated mass drone strikes targeting mock South Korean military guard posts and US tanks. We take North Korea's advancing drone capabilities and related threats very seriously, although evaluating drone power requires looking beyond mere performance to fully consider detection, identification, tracking and countermeasure systems, the ministry said. With the launch of the new headquarters, individual service branches will take on drone and counter-drone combat and strike roles, while the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) will coordinate overall operations. The new headquarters will also be responsible for facilitating a more swift acquisition of drones and counter-drone assets in coordination with the country's state arms agency. South Korea is introducing a fast-track certification system, akin to the US Blue Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), to preapprove commercial drones and related equipment, enabling the military to purchase ready-made systems quickly without traditional procurement delays. Seoul is also focusing on the localisation of drones and their components, such as batteries and motors, to reduce reliance on China. We are working to secure supply chains with allies and partners, including the United States, a ministry official told reporters in a background briefing Friday. The ministry said the military plans to rapidly acquire over 20,000 low-cost, expendable combat drones and accelerate the deployment of the Korean Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (K-LUCAS) program. K-LUCAS is a military initiative to domestically develop long-range loitering munitions, including suicide drones.

To tackle rising pollution during the winter months, the Delhi government has begun enforcing fixed-term restrictions under its Winter Action Plan from November 1. The measures will remain in force for varying periods until February 28. A complete ban on construction and demolition activities, except for specified exemptions, will be imposed from December 10 to January 20. The plan aims to curb vehicular emissions, control dust and reduce road traffic during the peak winter season. The government has also staggered office timings to ease traffic congestion. Delhi government offices will function from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., while Municipal Corporation of Delhi offices will operate from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. until February 28.

On the first day of the Winter Action Plan, authorities imposed penalties and environmental compensation totalling Rs 68.4 lakh. Enforcement teams checked nearly 15,000 vehicles, turned back 1,539 at border points and issued 566 challans for violations of Pollution Under Control Certificate norms. According to official data available till 5 p.m. on Sunday, penalties included Rs 56.6 lakh for PUCC violations, Rs 2 lakh for breaches of vehicle entry restrictions and Rs 9.8 lakh as environmental compensation for violations of dust-control norms at construction and demolition sites.

Newlyweds among 31 hospitalised after suspected food poisoning at Mumbai wedding
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) At least 31 people, including the bride and groom, have been hospitalised after reportedly suffering from suspected food poisoning during a wedding ceremony in Mumbai's Nahur West area, officials said on Monday. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abhay Singh Deshmukh, the wedding ceremony was held on November 1 at Nalanda Buddha Vihar Hall in Nahur West, with approximately 400 to 500 guests attending the event. He said that around 70 to 100 guests, who had their meals in the final round, reportedly fell ill after consuming the food. Following complaints of illness and discomfort, several guests were taken to nearby hospitals for medical attention. Officials said 22 affected individuals have been admitted to MT Agarwal Hospital in Mulund, four young children to Kamgar Hospital in Mulund, and five others are receiving treatment at a hospital in Vikhroli. Currently, all patients are in stable condition and are undergoing medical treatment. Relevant agencies are monitoring the situation and taking necessary action, officials said. One of the people admitted to the hospital told IANS, The wedding took place at the Nalanda Buddha Vihar Hall. Towards the end, when we sat down to eat, along with the bride and groom, everyone fell ill. About 30 to 40 people from our neighbourhood were there, and all of them became unwell. Everyone had to be admitted to the hospital. Action must be taken regarding this. The groom's maternal uncle, who also spoke to IANS, said the guests had consumed food at around 4 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. but began experiencing symptoms after returning home later in the evening. Once we reached home, by 11:0011:30 p.m., everyone started vomiting. The bride was the first to fall ill, he said. I believe at least 3040 people from our own group have been affected by food poisoning. This number could rise further; patients are still arriving. Some have been taken to Kamgar Hospital, some to a facility near the Metro, and others have been sent to Vikhroli, he added. Demanding strict action against those responsible, the groom's maternal uncle said the caterers and food suppliers should be held accountable for the suspected food poisoning. He also called for an enquiry into the role of the committee managing the wedding venue. A friend of the groom said that although all the patients were currently reported to be stable, several people were still reaching hospitals for medical assistance. This incident occurred due to the negligence of the caterers and a failure to check the quality of the food. The family is demanding strict action in this matter, he said. The administration, along with officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), was closely monitoring the situation and taking necessary steps.

Australia Unveil New-Look White-Ball Squads for England Series, Fresh Faces Earn Call-Ups
Australia named a host of fresh faces in new-look white-ball squads Monday to face England with exciting young quick Mahli Beardman and allrounders Jack Edwards and Liam Scott among those getting call-ups. Batting prospects Ollie Peake and Jake Fraser-McGurk were also included, as were wicketkeepers Lachlan Shaw and Sam Harper with Mitchell Marsh captaining both the one-day and Twenty20 sides. These ODI and T20 matches provide several players, many of whom have had opportunities on recent tours, with a great chance to further demonstrate their ability against very strong opposition, said chairman of selectors George Bailey. Beardman, Peake, Edwards, Scott, Nikhil Chaudhary, and Joel Davies made their white-ball debuts in recent times. Harper and Shaw are the two uncapped players. They are good examples of players who have had an opportunity at the international level and have continued working on their game from what they learnt from those experiences, added Bailey. Australia play three home ODIs against England between November 13-18 followed by five T20s. They will provide an opportunity for Australia's next generation to stake their claims ahead of the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. With a home Test series against New Zealand to follow, star fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are being rested after playing their part in Australia's 2-1 Test series defeat in South Africa. Fellow Test players Travis Head, Alex Carey, Matt Renshaw, Josh Inglis, Cooper Connolly and Cameron Green were named in the ODI squad, but will not play the T20s. Following the New Zealand series, Australia travel to India for five Tests before a 150th anniversary clash in Melbourne against England then an Ashes campaign. We are in the middle of a highly demanding phase of our schedule, said Bailey, referring to Australia's Test players. To manage this workload, each player's build-up to the New Zealand series will be carefully planned and focussed on individual's physical and mental preparation.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) Megastar Amitabh Bachchan expressed his displeasure and angst over media reports allegedly misquoting his actions post the Sunday fan meeting in a glass cabin as protection. He accused sections of the media of twisting the meaning of his social media posts and disrespecting his sentiments. The actor, who follows the tradition of meeting his fans outside his Mumbai residence every Sunday, took to his blog and social media to express his angst. Referring to a recent report that interpreted his words as an open challenge to his opponents, Amitabh clarified that his post was actually a prayer to Lord Krishna and not a political statement or a threat directed at anyone. In his post, Amitabh wrote that he often chants the prayer, Hathi ghoda palki, Jai Kanhaiya Lal ki, as an invocation to Lord Krishna. However, he alleged that the media had misinterpreted the words and presented them as a challenge to his opponents. Sharing his frustration, the veteran actor also issued a strong message to the media, pointing out that he has a massive following of 50 million people and that even 10 per cent of them could be ready to respond if given a signal. Amitabh Bachchan took to his X account, to express his angst and wrote his post in Hindi, which translates into English as, T 5903 (AI) For Krishna Kanhaiya, in the form of prayer, we often chant- Hathi ghoda palki, Jai Kanhaiya Lal ki And the media, by disrespecting it, prints it for their own publicity, 'Look, Amitabh is challenging his opponents, saying, 'Bring your elephants and horses', we will fight with our weapons, we won't be afraid!' On one hand, it's a grave insult to a 'Jai Shri Krishna' invocation, and on the other, they're twisting the words to make it about challenging opponents. .. Listen up, media folks, with your ears wide open. .. We have a 50 million-strong follower base, media folks. The day we give the signal, just 10 percent of them are ready and waiting to strike. He added, The more you twist our words and condemn them, the 100 times greater capacity our Ef has lying in wait to do the same. ... It's just a matter of them speaking up. .. Here's what the media prints, take a look, Amitabh Bachchan takes a dig at opponents' threats, vents frustration with cryptic post'Go, bring your elephants and horses' See that, folksdisrespecting faith, and absurd (Betuka) Absurd, nonsensical, or silly. ridiculous (Hasyaspad) Ridiculous or laughable (invoking derision). incongruous These are the ones considered the country's 5th Columnand the 4 columns are revered in our traditions with honor and respect. ..

But here it seems like this is their birthright I was about to say, as a victim, with affection and love, I'm heading off to sleep. But I won't say victimthe right to my pain is mine aloneit's not worthy of your ... Good night, my dear E The actor further emphasised that his words and actions should not be taken out of context. He also questioned the lack of accountability. For the uninitiated, the post comes amid the actor's continued Sunday tradition of meeting hundreds of fans who gather outside his residence, Jalsa, in Mumbai. The veteran star was seen greeting admirers from a specially designated glass enclosure during the weekly interaction, this time around.

Rachin Ravindra And Mark Chapman To Miss India Odis, Seifert Called Up
New Zealand batters Rachin Ravindra and Mark Chapman were ruled out Monday for the upcoming five-match ODI series against India due to injury. Ravindra had been recovering from a freak shoulder injury suffered during a promotional shoot prior to the Indian series, which starts on Wednesday, and has been deemed unfit to field. Chapman had a hamstring strain which needs a further two weeks of rehabilitation, according to MRI scans. Everyone knows what an asset Mark and Rachin are to this side so it's a shame they have to miss this series, New Zealand coach Rob Walter said. Walter said Chapman was disappointed to miss the series, and Ravindra hasn't quite recovered to a position where he could field comfortably. He said Ravindra would return for the two-Test series starting later this month. Tim Seifert was initially named for the fourth and fifth matches of the series but will now be available for all matches, while Henry Nicholls has been called up days after scoring his 13th List A century for Canterbury in the domestic Ford Trophy.

From Ohio to Los Angeles, 57 Indian American candidates to face voters on Tuesday
Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 2 (IANS) At least 57 Indian American candidates are on the ballot in Tuesday's US midterm elections, from a Senate seat in Massachusetts to the mayoralty of Los Angeles. The list includes one candidate for the US Senate, 11 for the House of Representatives, three for statewide office, 36 for state legislatures and six for local posts. The count covers only candidates whose Indian heritage IANS has been able to confirm. Another 15 candidates who may be of Indian origin are not included because their heritage could not be confirmed. The most closely watched race is in Ohio, where Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is running for governor against Democrat Amy Acton. The FiftyPlusOne polling average on Sunday put Acton ahead by about three points. In Los Angeles, city council member Nithya Raman is challenging Mayor Karen Bass. A final UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll, co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times, found the two tied at 40 per cent each, with 19 per cent undecided. In New York, Republican Saritha Komatireddy is challenging Attorney General Letitia James. A Siena poll released on October 28 put James ahead 54 per cent to 39 per cent. Maryland Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller, a Democrat, is seeking re-election on the Democratic ticket against a Republican ticket that includes Dan Cox. Shiva Ayyadurai is running for the Senate in Massachusetts as an independent against Democratic Senator Ed Markey. Of the 11 House candidates, four are incumbent Democrats: Ro Khanna in California, Ami Bera in California, Pramila Jayapal in Washington state and Suhas Subramanyam in Virginia. Two House races are contests between Indian Americans. In California's 17th District, Khanna faces Republican Ritesh Tandon, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. In Washington's 7th District, Jayapal faces Republican Nirav Sheth, a Gujarat-born former US Marine. Both seats are rated safe for Democrats by the Cook Political Report and other forecasters. Democrats Amish Shah in Arizona's 1st District and Pia Dandiya in Florida's 22nd District are running for open seats that forecasters rate as competitive. Federal Election Commission filings show money still flowing in the final days. A new super PAC, Floridians for Affordability, reported spending about $14,000 on text messages supporting Dandiya on October 30, bringing its total in support of her to about $220,000, according to a 24-hour independent expenditure report filed on October 31. Shah's campaign reported 15 contributions totalling $26,000 received on October 30, according to a 48-hour notice. Its 48-hour notices for contributions received from October 25 to October 30 total about $100,000, according to an IANS tally of six FEC filings. The FEC filings are self-reported and may be amended. Other House candidates are Republican Mahesh Max Ganorkar in North Carolina's 4th District, and independents Sandeep Dixit in Ohio's 13th District and Anil Kumar in Michigan's 11th District. At the state level, the 36 legislative candidates are spread across 22 states. California, Illinois and New York have four each. Local candidates include Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill in Utah, Oakland council member Janani Ramachandran, and Rohit Malhotra, who is running for the Fulton County Commission in Georgia. Americans vote on Tuesday, November 3 in midterm elections.
