IMD forecasts thunderstorms, hailstorms over major parts of India this week
After stormy weather in the past 24-hours in North India, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an Orange alert for Northwest India, including the Delhi-NCR region, as well as East and Central India, for the next four days. The regions are expected to experience heavy rainfall, accompanied by lightning, hailstorms, and strong winds, occur throughout the week. Following it, the IMD has issued an agromet advisory to protect crops and orchards. They also urged residents of vulnerable regions, particularly in urban and hilly areas to take necessary precautions before the hazardous weather. In the past 24-hours, Delhi's Safdarjung station recorded 77 mm of rainfall, marking the second-highest amount of rainfall for May since 1901. The highest was 119.3 mm, recorded on May 20, 2021, at the Safdarjung Airport. This recent rainfall was associated with the remnants of the Tauktae cyclone that crossed the Gujarat coast. After significant downpours along with thunderstorms, minimum temperatures in Delhi-NCR dropped by as much as 8C, and it has been predicted that maximum temperatures in Delhi-NCR will be below normal by 1-3C in the coming days. The IMD reports that multiple weather systems are currently in place, leading to continued rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning in the region. A combination of a western disturbance and a series of cyclonic circulations over Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana has created hazardous weather conditions across large areas of North India. These weather systems are expected to remain active throughout the week. In some areas, there may be dust storms and isolated hailstorms, particularly in parts of Rajasthan. In addition to Northwest India, multiple weather systems are present over Central and Eastern India, resulting in widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning. The IMD's advisory notes the existence of a cyclonic system over Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, as well as a trough running from Punjab to North Kerala. Furthermore, another cyclonic circulation is located over northern Bangladesh at lower and middle tropospheric levels. All these systems are anticipated to bring rain across the country in the coming days, indicating active pre-monsoon showers and causing unseasonal rainfall. This unseasonal rain is expected to be beneficial for upcoming crops, as it will help replenish soil moisture during a typically dry period, said Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather, a private weather agency. In its agromet advisory, IMD advised to drain out excess water from standing crops in Odisha, Kerala and Karnataka whereas it advised use of hail nets and caps to prevent damage in vegetables and orchards in Sikkim, Odisha, Himachal Pradesh, East Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Vidarbha. For livestock, it advised to keep animals inside shed during rainfall and hailstorm and feed and fodders at safe place. Additionally, residents should monitor the weather and be prepared to move to safer areas if conditions worsen.

BOPAL: A 17-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol district has alleged four men raped her over two days before being abducted and confined to a hotel room by a deputy jailor, leading to multiple arrests and an ongoing investigation. The teenager, who went missing from her home on 29 April, was later found locked in a room of a prominent hotel in Shahdol district. Police have detained six men in connection with the case, while a deputy jailor has been booked for abduction and illegal confinement. According to police, the girl's mother filed a missing person report after her daughter disappeared on 29 April. Based on the complaint, police registered a case of abduction under Section 137(2) BNS on 30 April. During questioning after being rescued, the girl alleged that on 29 April, she received a phone call from one Sameer Khan, who took her on a motorbike to a desolate place and raped her. She claimed she was subsequently raped by Sameer's aide Chotu Musalman. The girl further alleged that on 30 April, she was abandoned at the Shahdol railway station, from where another youth identified as Anmol forcibly took her away and raped her. Later the same day, she was allegedly raped by Anmol's aide Shakib Khan near the Mudna river. According to her statement, she was abandoned near a hostel late on 30 April. She claimed that at around 3 am on 1 May, Burhar sub jail deputy jailor Vikas Singh spotted her, took her in his car to a hotel, and forcibly locked her there. Police subsequently tracked her location and freed her from the hotel room. The alleged rape survivor also told police that in 2024, after fleeing home following an argument with her mother, she was raped by five men. Shahdol district police superintendent Ramji Srivastava told TNIE on Friday: A case has already been registered under Section 137(2) BNS which pertains to abduction. Six men have been detained for allegedly raping her in 2024 and April 29 and 30, 2025. Her statements will be recorded before the competent court on Friday, based on which further action will be taken in the matter. The Burhar sub jail deputy jailor Vikas Singh has been booked for abduction and illegal confinement, but is yet to be arrested, the SP-Shahdol said. According to police officials familiar with the ongoing investigation, there are several inconsistencies in the girl's initial statements. Her formal statement will be recorded before a magistrate, after which further action will be taken. Her medical examination was also scheduled to be conducted on Friday.
Centre increases wheat procurement, restricts sugar export up to 8 LMT
The governments wheat procurement has seen a notable increase this year, bringing some relief after three consecutive years of struggling to maintain adequate stock. As of now, procurement has reached 256.31 lakh metric tonnes (LMT), a significant rise from 205 LMT on the same date last year. However, this still falls short of the governments target of 312 LMT for the current Rabi marketing season. Higher procurement figures have been reported from all five major wheat-producing statesPunjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, which together account for 65 per cent of the country's wheat production. So far, 21.03 lakh farmers have benefited from the procurement, receiving a total payout of Rs. 62,155.96 crore under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) scheme. Punjab has contributed 103.89 LMT, Haryana 65.67 LMT, Madhya Pradesh 67.57 LMT, Rajasthan 11.44 LMT, and Uttar Pradesh 7.55 LMT to the central pool so far. According to Sanjeev Chopra, Secretary of the Ministry of Food and Public Distribution, the government is on track to surpass last years total procurement as a considerable window still remains open in the current season. Chopra said, The increased procurement to awareness campaigns about MSP and ensured that farmers receive payments within two days. This year, the MSP for wheat has been set at Rs. 2,425 per quintal. Despite the current progress, concerns remain over the impact of adverse weather conditions on wheat procurement in recent years. In the 2022-23 season, the government procured only 187 LMT against a target of 444 LMT. In 2023-24, the procurement reached 262 LMT against a target of 341 LMT. For 2024-25, the figure stands at 267 LMT against the 320 LMT target. Meanwhile, the government has announced new regulations for the khandsari (crude sugar or jaggery) industry, aiming to ensure fair and timely payments to sugarcane farmers and improve monitoring of sugar production. The government has amended the 1966 Sugar Control Order to regulate khandsari units with a crushing capacity of 500 tonnes per day (TCD). A total of 66 such units have been identified, and the revised order is expected to be officially notified in the gazette either today or tomorrow. According to government estimates, around 30 percent of the country's sugarcane has been diverted to the khandsari industry. The new rules are intended to help track this diversion more accurately. Additionally, the government has stated that India will export up to 8 lakh metric tonnes of sugar in the 202425 season, ending in Septemberlower than the permitted quota of 10 lakh tonnes. So far, 3 lakh tonnes have been exported, and another 60,000 tonnes are currently at ports, ready for shipment.

IMD forecasts gusty winds, thunderstorms across Andhra Pradesh
VISAKHAPATNAM: The India Meteorological Department (IMD), Amaravati, has issued a four-day weather warning for Andhra Pradesh and Yanam, predicting thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds across several regions from Friday through Monday. According to the Meteorological Centre, thunderstorms are likely at isolated places across North Coastal Andhra Pradesh (NCAP), South Coastal Andhra Pradesh (SCAP), Rayalaseema, and the Union Territory of Yanam each day during the forecast period. Gusty winds reaching speeds of 40-50 kmph are expected at isolated locations in NCAP and Yanam, while SCAP and Rayalaseema may experience slightly lower wind speeds of 30-40 kmph. In addition to the storm warnings, hot, humid, and discomfort-inducing weather conditions are likely to persist over Andhra Pradesh and Yanam on Friday and Saturday. The IMD has also indicated that no significant changes are expected in maximum and minimum temperatures across NCAP, SCAP, and Yanam for the next five days, though a slight rise may occur thereafter. Similarly, Rayalaseema is not expected to see major changes in temperature during this period, with a marginal increase anticipated subsequently. Meteorologists noted that a north-south trough is currently extending from an upper air cyclonic circulation over southeast Rajasthan and its neighbouring regions to north Kerala. This trough passes through areas such as West Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Marathwada, and Interior Karnataka, and extends up to 1.5 km above mean sea level. Additionally, lower tropospheric southerly winds are prevailing over Andhra Pradesh and Yanam, contributing to the present weather patterns. The Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) reported that no heatwaves are expected across the State on Friday.
New impetus to historical remnants as ASI plans to expand underwater wing
NEW DELHI: Explorations to uncover submerged historical and cultural remnants in India may get a fresh impetus as the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) aims to expand and strengthen its Underwater Archaeology Wing (UAW). In the Central Advisory Board of Archaeology (CABA) meeting held on Wednesday, Union Minister for Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and the department secretary proposed to augment the wings size and scope of operations. Sources privy to the discussion said the ASI will soon engage 20-25 additional archaeologists and train them for the UAW to then take up more explorations in the coastal region of Maharashtra and water bodies in Madhya Pradesh. The UAW had been defunct for over 15 years before its recent revival. In February, it resumed explorations at the ancient sites off the coast of Dwarka in Gujarat. We are training more people to take up underwater work. Now, we have a solid team of five people, including three new divers. Earlier, there were just two and one of them was a photographer. Many divers are approaching us. There is one in the Army. To strengthen this unit, we must plan how to work in our field offices, officials said. Established in 2001, the UAW has explored at least 11 sites in the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, Ariyankuppam River and Loktak Lake in Manipur. In collaboration with the Indian Navy, it has also excavated the wreck of a ship, Princess Royal, in the Lakshadweep waters in 2003. The ASI now plans to conduct more underwater archaeological research in different states in collaboration with other institutions. Officials said, We are going to Maharashtra next month to negotiate with the government regarding the underwater archaelogical sites in the state. We will also work with the port authorities on all coastal sites. If our expertise is needed, we will advise them on retrieving of antiquities. If the negotiations with Maharashtra are successful, the ASI will begin explorations in the Arabian Sea region at significant heritage sites such as the Sindhu, Durga, and Janjira forts. We hope that underwater archaeology will become interesting in India. We have started the process and will continue it, officials added.

IPL 2025: GT Eye Playoff Berth As SRH Face Must-win Clash In Ahmedabad
Inian Premier League: Gujarat Titans return to their fortress at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday with redemption on their mind after being blown away by Rajasthan Royals' teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal. The 14-year-old prodigys record-shattering 35-ball century left GT slumping to an eight-wicket defeat despite posting a mammoth 209 on the board. But with the business end of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 approaching, the Titans remain on course for a playoff spot and will now aim to consolidate their position against an under-pressure Sunrisers Hyderabad outfit. Despite the recent hammering, Shubman Gills men have little reason to panic. With six wins in nine games, GT sit comfortably in the top four with 12 points and need just two more victories from their remaining five matches to virtually seal a place in the playoffs. Their campaign has been built on stability and depth, with both the batting and bowling departments delivering consistently. The top order has been particularly impressive. Sai Sudharsan, the current Orange Cap holder, has anchored the batting unit with remarkable consistency, amassing 456 runs with five half-centuries. Hes ably supported by captain Gill (389 runs) and Jos Buttler (406 runs), both of whom are among the leagues top scorers. Even though Suryavanshis fireworks briefly overshadowed them, the trio remains one of the most feared in the tournament. On the bowling front, Prasidh Krishna has emerged as the leader of the pace pack, while Mohammed Siraj and Ishant Sharma have chipped in effectively. Rashid Khans return to rhythm, especially his tidy 2-25 against Kolkata Knight Riders, bodes well for the side. Washington Sundar has provided quiet but crucial support with his economical spells in the middle overs. GT will also take heart from their earlier clash against Sunrisers this season a dominant seven-wicket win in Hyderabad, set up by Sirajs fiery 4-17 spell. Replicating that performance could virtually end SRHs dwindling playoff hopes. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, every match from here is a do-or-die scenario. With only three wins from nine outings, last years finalists have dropped to ninth on the table and are teetering on the edge of elimination. A defeat on Friday would almost certainly end their campaign. SRHs trademark aggressive style of batting has been missing this season, especially at the top. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, the teams explosive openers, have faltered in recent outings. Head has just one fifty in his last eight innings, while Abhishek has failed to reach double digits in the last two games a massive dip in form for the pair that was expected to lay the foundation for big totals. The middle order hasn't offered much relief either. Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Ishan Kishan have all struggled to find fluency, leaving a heavy burden on young Aniket Verma. The 23-year-old Madhya Pradesh batter has surprisingly outperformed the big names in terms of six-hitting this season and could play a key role in any SRH fightback. In the bowling department, Harshal Patel has been a lone bright spot, with his crafty variations troubling batters even on flat decks. But Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami the seasoned campaigners are yet to hit their stride. Their inability to deliver consistent breakthroughs has hurt SRH in crunch situations. When: Friday, May 2 Where: Narendra Modi Stadium, Hyderabad Where to watch: The live telecast will be available on Star Sports network and live streaming on JioHotstar.

NHRC notices to MP govt, DGP over police 'inaction' in finding girl who went missing from Bhopal
NEW DELHI: The NHRC on Thursday said it has issued notices to the Madhya Pradesh government and the state's police chief over reports that even 18 days after a six-year-old girl went missing from an underbridge in Bhopal, police have o answers. Reportedly, this is not just one case of disappearance, as over 3,400 women and girls have gone missing in the state during the last three years, as per the data of the Madhya Pradesh police. Allegedly, the CCTV networks are patchy, rapid-response teams are missing in action, and there is no coordination between the units, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) said in a statement. The rights panel said it has taken suo-motu cognisance of a media report that even after 18 days since the girl went missing from an underbridge in Bhopal's Koh-e-Fiza area, police have o answers. Reportedly, the missing girl's homeless mother with eight children suspects the involvement of one of the relatives in the disappearance of her daughter, but the police is not conducting a fair investigation, and no arrests have been made in the matter to date, the statement said. The commission observed that the contents of the news report, if true, raise a serious issue of violation of human rights. Therefore, it has issued notices to the chief secretary and director general of police of Madhya Pradesh, seeking a detailed report in two weeks, the rights panel said. According to the media report, published on April 25, a drive under the name of Operation Muskan launched last year by the state police to rescue and rehabilitate the missing girls has not shown any results, the commission said.

IMD: May to have more heatwave days
NEW DELHI: Most parts of the country are likely to experience seven days of heatwave in May against the normal four, and above-normal maximum and minimum temperatures. However, above-normal rainfall could help prevent the kind of extreme heat recorded last year, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday. IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said, The number of heatwave days this May is expected to be higher than normal by one to four days across large parts of the country, particularly in Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Gangetic West Bengal. Some areas of Gujarat, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, adjoining Telangana and north Karnataka are also expected to see above-normal heatwave days, he said. Normally, different parts of the country, except the southwest Peninsular India, experience one to three days of heatwave in May. Mohapatra said, Most parts of the country are likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall, except for some areas in northwest, central and northeast India. Heatwaves carry significant risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and people with pre-existing health conditions, who are more prone to heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

Rajasthan to join Indias first cheetah conservation corridor with Madhya Pradesh
JAIPUR: Rajasthan is all set to become a part of Indias first cheetah reintroduction project, currently operational in Madhya Pradesh. A wildlife corridor spanning 17,000 square kilometers will be developed across both states, allowing cheetahs to roam freely in a protected and connected habitat. The corridor will link Palpur Kuno National Park and Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh with the Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan. As part of the plan, seven districts in Rajasthan Kota, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, and Chittorgarh will be integrated into the project. Speaking in Jaipur on Tuesday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav emphasised the success of the cheetah project, describing it as a unique initiative in Asia. It is a matter of pride that cheetahs are thriving here. This is among the most successful wildlife conservation efforts globally, he said. Yadav also stated that the project would now move forward in collaboration with Rajasthan. Highlighting past joint efforts, the MP Chief Minister recalled the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal river linking project, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We are confident that both states will progress together on this project under the leadership of the Prime Minister, he added. According to the action plan released by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) has designated the Kuno-Gandhi Sagar landscape as a suitable cheetah habitat. Of the total corridor area, 10,500 square kilometers fall within Madhya Pradesh, while 6,500 square kilometers are in Rajasthan. The corridor will enable cheetahs to move from Kuno National Park through the Mukundara Hills Reserve in Rajasthan to Gandhi Sagar. Discussions are also underway to include parts of Uttar Pradesh, specifically the forest areas of Jhansi and Lalitpur, within the extended landscape. An official Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan is in the pipeline. The proposal has reached the Chief Ministers of both states and is awaiting final approval. During his visit to Jaipur, CM Mohan Yadav met with Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. Sources suggest that discussions on the cheetah corridor were held, and the signing of the MoU is expected soon.

Kerala top in health & education, but poor in fiscal segment
KOCHI: Kerala secured the top position in social indicators, which include health and education, but stood at a poor 15th spot among 17 large states in the fiscal segment, in the ranking of states released by CareEdge Ratings, a leading credit rating agency, on Tuesday. Kerala ranked seventh in the composite ranking, which captures seven key pillars economic, fiscal, infrastructure, financial development, social, governance and environment covering 50 indicators. Maharashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka were top three in composite ranking, while Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Haryana were in the fourth, fifth and sixth spots, respectively. Andhra Pradesh (8), Odisha (9), Punjab (10), Chhattisgarh (11), Rajasthan (12), West Bengal (13), Uttar Pradesh (14), Madhya Pradesh (15) and Jharkhand (16) figured after Kerala. Bihar (17) was at the bottom of the table. Kerala excelled in the social rankings occupying the top spot. Within social indicators, while Kerala scored strongly across the health and education related indicators, it lagged on the employment front, said Rajani Sinha, chief economist, CareEdge Ratings. Social pillar comprises education (gross enrolment ratio in secondary education, literacy rate), health (infant mortality rate, life expectancy), labour (unemployment rate) and poverty (multidimensional poverty index), which are critical for attaining sustainable and inclusive growth. Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra were placed second and third in social segments. The bottom three states were UP (15), MP (16) and Bihar (17). The worrying segment for Kerala is the fiscal pillar, which includes budget deficit (fiscal deficit, budget deficit), debt repayments, guarantees (total outstanding liabilities as a percentage of GSDP, revenue deficit as a percentage of GSDP), debt repayments (total outstanding liabilities-% of GSDP), interest expenses, revenue generation capacity, debt management and others. Kerala fared poorly on the fiscal pillar, ranking 15th, among large states. This can be attributed to a weaker score for budget deficits, debt, and quality of spending. Going ahead, focus on improving the states fiscal health remains critical, said Ranjani. She said at the 9th position, Kerala fared better in the financial development segment compared to states like UP, MP, Odisha and Gujarat due to credit disbursements by banks and loans to self-help groups. Kerala stood 11th in the economy pillar, which takes into consideration GSDP growth, inflation and investments. Top three performers were Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra. A segment where Kerala came in top five was infrastructure, comprising physical infrastructure such as per capita power availability, air passenger traffic, road density, railway, etc, and social infrastructure, including availability of doctors and pupil teacher ratio.

CHANDIGARH/BHOPAL/JAIPUR/RAIPUR: The stalemate over visa cancellations post-Pahalgam attack ended on Tuesday, with 70 Pakistan national women possessing long-term visas and No Obligation to Return to India (NORI) certificates permitted to cross over into India at the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at the Attari border. Initially, the Centre revoked all visas issued to Pakistan nationals visiting India. As a result, spouses of Indian citizens with Pakistani passports faced an emotional situation; those currently visiting or residing in India had to return to Pakistan, leaving their children behind if the latter were Indian citizens. Indian nationals currently visiting Pakistan could return to India but not with their children if the latter held Pakistan passports. However, the Centre revised the visa guidelines allowing those on Long-Term Visas to stay in the country. So, on Tuesday, Pakistani immigration authorities allowed women holding Pakistani passports and married to Indian nationals and having NORI certificates and long-term visas to cross over to India, sources said. In total, 240 people from Pakistan, including more than 70 NORI visa holders, entered India, and 140 people from India returned to Pakistan via the Attari border.

Dr Vikram Udasi, from Jalgaon, Maharashtra, had been waiting at the Attari border since April 25 to receive his wife Priya, a Pakistani national, and child Ahan, who were in Pakistan visiting family. They were reunited after both crossed over. Finally, after the long wait, I have met my wife and child, and now we are returning to our home town. She has been on a Long-Term Visa for the past eight years, which is valid until 2026, he said.

He was waiting for his wife and children at the Attari border for the last few days. His wife hails from Balochistan, a Pakistani national, while her two children are Indians. The three went to Pakistan to visit family. She was ultimately allowed to return to India along with her children. Edge of uncertainty In Madhya Pradesh, the fate of nine children with Pakistani passports and short-term visas hangs in balance.

There were 14 Pakistani nationals in MP, including the nine children with their Indian mothers in Indore, Bhopal and Jabalpur. Also, a young man (from the Sindhi community) was on a short-term visa in Bhopal.

In at least three to four reported instances, mothers hold passports from one country, while their children have obtained citizenship in another, typically due to birth circumstances. These families now face the emotional and logistical burden of separation until new regulations are introduced or the situation stabilises.

Upper caste encroachers stop Dalit man's last rites on govt land in Madhya Pradesh; both sides clash
SHEOPUR: The last rites of a Dalit man was stopped on a plot of government land by alleged encroachers from an upper caste in Sheopur in Madhya Pradesh on Monday, resulting in stone-pelting between two groups and a road blockade, a police official said. The incident took place in Leelda village, he said. The Dalit man had died in an accident in Bengaluru some days ago. When his kin and community members were taking the body for last rites on a plot of government land encroached by some upper caste members, the latter stopped them, the official said. The argument led to stone-pelting from both sides, after which members of the Jatav community, to which the deceased belongs, blocked the road by placing his body there, the official added. The two sides were pacified by senior police and administration officials, Sheopur Superintendent of Police Virendra Jain said. Jain said the Jatav community's crematorium was acquired by the railways, after which they were performing last rites on a plot of land in the possession of another community, which had triggered a deadlock. The Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) and Sub Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) are on the spot and have normalised the situation. Both sides are being counselled, the SP said. A protester said the land belonged to the government and authorities had allowed them to conduct last rites here after the crematorium was taken over. However, upper caste men had illegally occupied this plot, he alleged.

Meghwal, Khattar emerge as frontrunners for BJP national president
NEW DELHI: Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, along with fellow Union Ministers Manohar Lal Khattar, Bhupender Yadav, and Dharmendra Pradhan, as well as other potential candidates, including a woman, is emerging as a frontrunner for the BJP's top organisational position - the national president. Meghwal, a former civil servant from Rajasthans Bikaner, was awarded the Best Parliamentarian in 2013. He currently serves as the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, and also holds the Ministry of Law and Justice portfolio in the current Modi cabinet. Considered one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's trusted allies, Meghwal has strong ties to the RSS and significant support from the organisation. An added advantage is his background as a member of the Dalit community, having been elected three times as MP from the SC-reserved Lok Sabha constituency. Notably, Meghwal is regarded as one of the BJPs key floor managers during parliamentary sessions, particularly in handling challenges from the Opposition. He has also played a pivotal role in passing crucial legislations, including the abrogation of Article 370. After Meghwal, Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is being cited as the second most prominent contender, with a strong likelihood of emerging as the partys most formidable and consensus candidate to succeed incumbent JP Nadda. Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, who previously served as Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh with numerous achievements to his credit, is also being considered as a top contender, alongside Meghwal, Khattar, and others. Other names speculated for the party presidents post include Bhupender Yadav, a strong OBC face from the Yadav community, which holds significant electoral influence in states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and Dharmendra Pradhan, both of whom are serving ministers in the Modi government. Sources within the party said on Sunday that preparations for the organisational elections are progressing quietly, with the candidate for national president expected to be announced by the first or second week of May. Required organisational formalities in many states have been completed and process for making a consensus on a suitable candidate from a shortlist of 6-7 names, including a woman, is expected to be made by May first and second week, said a senior BJP leader. When asked by TNIE , a BJP source revealed that the woman leader being considered is Vanathi Srinivasan, an MLA from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu and the national president of the BJP Womens Front. When asked about the name of the Andhra Pradesh BJP president being considered as a potential candidate, a senior BJP source said, She has not been with the BJP for the past 15 years and being in the party as a primary member for the last 15 years is required as a point in the election for the party president for a candidate. Daggubati Purandeswari joined the BJP in 2014 from Congress and is currently heading the party as state president since 2023 after she joined the party. Therefore, her chances of being nominated as the party's consensus candidate are now seem not strong, remarked the sources, adding the names of Vinod Tawde and Arun Singh.

NIA conducts raids at 18 locations across 6 states in Pakistan arms smuggling case
NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has conducted raids at multiple locations across Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Karnataka in connection with a case linked to Pakistan-backed cross-border smuggling of arms and narcotics by Khalistani operatives, officials said on Friday. According to the officials, during the raids conducted at 18 locations across the states, sleuths recovered several electronic devices and other incriminating materials, which are now being examined to unravel the conspiracy behind the smuggling and the radicalisation of individuals in Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of India. The officials said the raids were conducted on Thursday at the premises of suspected individuals connected to Pakistan-based entities in the case, which was registered by the anti-terror federal agency on December 20, 2024. The NIA in its investigation has found that the suspects under the scanner are aligned with the ideology of proscribed unlawful associations and terrorist organisations, they said. The NIA in its probe also found that these entities have been conspiring via social media platforms, and are in regular contact with foreign-based handlers suspected to be Pro-Khalistani Elements (PKEs), as part of the conspiracy to destabilise India, the officials alleged.
Mannapuram gold heist: Sambalpur police nets four more with 14 firearms
SAMBALPUR: In a major breakthrough in the daring Mannapuram Gold Finance heist, Sambalpur police arrested four more accused, taking the total number to eight. The four nabbed with the help of the Delhi police were identified as Vikash Kumar and Sanjeev Kumar Paswan, both from Vaishali in Bihar. The other two Yash Anand and Piyush Raj are from Patna. All four are said to be close associates of the alleged mastermind Subodh Singh. With the fresh arrests, police claimed they are now close to solving the entire case. Breifing the media on Friday evening, IG Northern Range, Himansu Lal said, the case is almost resolved and all the accused are now in police custody. The involvement of Subodh Singh and his gang has been clearly established following a thorough investigation. They have a very wide network across the country. The process of recovery of the gold will start soon, Lal said. Sambalpur SP Mukesh Bhamoo said, Subodh had entrusted Vikash to execute the loot in Sambalpur. Vikash and Piyush had earlier robbed 25 kg gold in Rajasthan and 17 kg in Madhya Pradesh. The planning, execution, logistics and disposal were all handled by different teams to mislead the police. We have cracked all parts of the operation except the disposal, but weve ascertained that the looted gold fetched a huge sum which was used to procure sophisticated firearms. We have recovered around 14 pistols from the possession of the accused. All four will be forwarded to court on Saturday as investigations continue, Bhamoo said. Last month, Subodh was brought on a seven-day remand. Despite being behind bars, he was allegedly orchestrating crimes across states through his active criminal network. His record includes at least 28 major crimes across Odisha, Rajasthan, Bihar, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, including gold heists, contract killings, and cases of extortion. Other accused arrested in connection with the case include Uttam Paswan, believed to have coordinated the heist from Guwahati, and Pankaj Paswan and Ajaya Paswan from Hajipur. A country-made pistol and live ammunition were recovered from Pankajs rented house in Sambalpur during his remand. The robbery had taken place on January 3 at the Mannapuram Gold Finance office in Budharaja, Sambalpur. The total value of the stolen assets is estimated to be around Rs 20 crore. Police said the final phase of investigation will focus on ascertaining the disposal route of the gold and its recovery.
