"After the crucial second round of talks with the government failed to make any headway, the protesting farmers carried on with their Delhi Chalo march on Tuesday. There were reports of chaos on the Punjab-Haryana Shambhu border as the Haryana police fired teargas shells as farmers tried to break the erected barricades. Drones have been deployed to keep track of farmers’ movements, most of whom are on tractors.

Delhi has imposed Section 144 throughout the city for 30 days, erected barricades and iron spikes on the borders to prevent the farmers from entering the Capital.

Internet and bulk SMS services were suspended for Tuesday in seven districts of Haryana- Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa. Several farmer leaders’ social media accounts were also reportedly blocked the previous day.

The farmers’ protest, being led by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, has been demanding legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, as promised by the BJP-led government at the Centre, among other demands like loan waiver and implementation of the MS Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations. The farmers participating in the protest are mainly from Punjab and Haryana."

Thick smog chokes northern India and eastern Pakistan ahead of Diwali

(CNN)- Thick, toxic smog has once again enveloped northern india and eastern Pakistan just days before the start of Diwali, a hindu festival typically celebrated with fireworks that each year sends air quality plummeting. The air quality index in the indian capital of Delhi was roughly 250 on Monday morning, after days in the “very unhealthy” zone above 200, according to IQAir, which tracks global air quality. In the Pakistani city of Lahore, roughly 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the Indian border, air quality surpassed a “hazardous” 500 on Monday – almost 65 times the World Health Organization’s guidelines for healthy air – making it the most polluted city in the world at the time of the ranking, according to IQAir. Air quality across the region is set to worsen as winter smog season approaches, when an ominous yellow haze blankets the skies due to farmers burning agricultural waste, coal-fired power plants, traffic and windless winter days. Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is set to begin Thursday – a five day celebration during which people gather with their families, feast and set off firecrackers, in some cases in defiance of local bans, further exacerbating air pollution. Dystopian scenes of orange haze and buildings enveloped by fog emerge each year as smog season dominates the news, raising alarm as doctors warn of the risk of respiratory diseases and impacts on life expectancy. India’s air pollution has been found to be so bad, that experts have warned smog could take years off the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Residents and experts have long questioned why India has failed to curb air pollution, as Delhi and its neighboring states butt heads over who is really to blame. Delhi had banned the use and sale of firecrackers ahead of Diwali, but the policy has been difficult to implement. Last week, India’s Supreme Court condemned governments of the Punjab and Haryana states for failing to crack down on illegal stubble burning, the practice whereby farmers set crop waste on fire to clear fields. Local officials claim they have reduced the practice significantly in recent years. The Indian government also launched its nationwide Clean Air Programme in 2019, ushering in strategies across 24 states and union territories to reduce particulate matter concentration, a term for air pollutants, by 40% by 2026. The measures include cracking down on coal-based power plants, setting up air monitoring systems and banning burning of biomass. Officials have also begun sprinkling water on roads and even inducing artificial rainfall to combat air pollution in the Indian capital, though experts say these are band-aid solutions that fail to address the underlying issues. Some Indian cities have seen improvements in their air quality, according to government data, but progress has been slow. Between 2018 and 2022, New Delhi’s average PM2.5 concentration (a measure of pollutants in the air) for the month of November, when the pollution season typically begins, more or less stayed the same, according to IQAir. Experts in the past have questioned whether India has the political will to combat pollution. “There is not one party that has put its head down and said, ‘we are sickening the entire country and let’s fix it,’” Jyoti Pande Lavakare, founder of clean air non-profit Care for Air told CNN last year.

MAJOR MOHIT SHARMA Myself Rocky and I am writing this blog on my inspiration MAJOR MOHIT SHARMA. One of the greatest and best leader Indian Army can have.SO LETS BEGIN Major Sharma was born on 13 jan, 1978 in Rohtak Haryana. From the very early age he wanted to join Indian Army and serve his second mother for rest of the life. When he get young he gave Exam of NDA(NATIONAL DEFENCE ACADEMY) and cleared it in his first attempt. His parents don’t want him to join army as it is very risky, they hide his calling letter from NDA but anyhow major sharma manage to find that he is selected for training and he went there. He was one of the best Cadet of NDA and he got medals in SWIMMING, HORSE RIDING AND BOXING. After passing out from NDA he went to IMA and completed his training of becoming “MEN FROM A BOY”. IN 1999 He got commissioned as LIEUTENANT in Indian Army and sent to the 5th Battalion of Madras Regiment. After few years of service he got chance to work with RR and was a part of OPERATION RAKSHA in which he led his team to eliminate the terrorists attacked on Parliament. For his Excellent leadership and Bravery he got CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF COMMENDATION LETTER from Chief of Army Staff. There he met lots of special forces personnels and in 2002 he gave his first attempt but due to some health issues he got disqualified but again in 2003 he gave 2nd attempt and Cleared the provision AND JOINED 1st UNIT OF PARACHUTE REGIMENT. Her mother was so angry on him because he joined the most dangerous unit but luckly his first posting was in Punjab. In Punjab he met Captain Reshma Sharin, they both felt in love and ON 19th December, 2004 They both married. Every thing was good but then he got call from Kashmir where there were a plan to operate an UNDERCOVER OPERATION in which any one have to cross border go to HIZBUL and eliminate two top rated terrorists ABU TORARA AND ABU SABJAR. Major Sharma nominated himself for this task(again a great reflection of Bravery, courage and Patriotism) He started growing his beard and hairs so that he could look like a terrorist. He crossed border and met both of them and said them that Indian Army had killed his brother few years ago and he want to take revenge. He showed them the plans. HE lived there for 2 weeks. One day before the operation Abu Torara find something suspicious about him and start investigating about him. Then major sharma throwed his AK-47 and shouted “IF YOU DON’T HAVE TRUST ON ME KILL ME, WITHOUT TRUST THERE IS NO MEANING OF THIS OPERATION” as soon as Abu Torara turned major Sharma took out his 9mm Pistol and killed both Abu Torara and Abu Sabjar. For this operation his assigned name was IFTHIKHAR BHAT. He went back to India and living normal life.

IT WAS A GREAT LOSS but his Sacrifice still motivate lots of youths lik

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Mumbai, 14th Oct. The arrest and incarceration of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi have not quelled the dangers posed by his sprawling criminal network, which stretches across multiple states and maintains strong links to terror groups. Despite being behind bars for nearly a decade, Bishnoi’s influence over the gangster-terror nexus remains substantial. His alleged role in the recent murder of Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader, highlights the alarming persistence of his operations. This incident is only the latest in a series of crimes where the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has connected Bishnoi’s network to terror activities and smuggling operations. Bishnoi’s connection to banned terror outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) has long been a point of concern for law enforcement agencies. The NIA’s ongoing investigations reveal a disturbing trend: a coordinated effort between Bishnoi’s syndicate and pro-Khalistan elements to destabilize the region. Notably, Bishnoi’s alliance with Goldy Brar, a Canada-based gangster with ties to BKI, has allowed him to extend his reach beyond India’s borders. The duo’s alleged involvement in extortion and violence, such as the RPG attack on Punjab’s State Intelligence headquarters in Mohali, has exposed the dangerous nexus between organized crime and terrorism. The NIA’s efforts to clamp down on Bishnoi’s syndicate have been substantial, involving the filing of chargesheets, the attachment of properties in multiple states, and the arrest of key associates. However, the persistence of Bishnoi’s criminal enterprise, even from within the confines of jail, underscores the complexities of dismantling such networks. His ability to coordinate operations with incarcerated gang members and manage seamless communication channels speaks to a systemic problem in how gangsters exploit prison facilities to maintain their control over criminal activities. A particularly concerning aspect of this network is its relentless recruitment drive. Bishnoi’s gang continues to prey on impressionable youth across Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Jharkhand. This recruitment not only fuels their extortion rackets but also strengthens the nexus with terror outfits, making it harder to isolate and neutralize such threats. The youth drawn into these networks often become pawns, trained to carry out violent activities under the directives of gang leaders like Bishnoi and their terror associates. The case of Bishnoi also reveals deeper challenges within India’s fight against organized crime and terror networks. The involvement of cross-border elements, such as the smuggling of arms, ammunition, and drugs from Pakistan, adds another layer of complexity to the NIA’s task. For every move made to weaken Bishnoi’s grip, his syndicate adapts, seeking new ways to maintain their operations and assert their influence over local communities. This issue is not merely about law enforcement; it is about the systemic threats to regional stability and security. It calls for a multi-pronged approach, including community outreach programs to prevent youth recruitment, better monitoring of communication within prisons, and enhanced intelligence-sharing between states. The NIA’s work is crucial, but without coordinated efforts across law enforcement agencies and a focus on dismantling the support systems that allow syndicates like Bishnoi’s to thrive, the challenge remains significant. The death of Baba Siddique is a tragic reminder of how deeply entrenched such networks are, capable of orchestrating violence even from within prison walls. The path forward lies in a relentless pursuit of justice, closing the loopholes that enable these syndicates, and ensuring that the long arm of the law reaches every corner of the criminal-terror nexus. Only then can we hope to curtail the influence of figures like Lawrence Bishnoi and secure a safer future for the region. [ad_2]

The Indian Rice Exporters Federation (IREF) plays a pivotal role in the global rice trade, representing India's interests in one of the world’s largest rice export markets. Understanding the geographical scope of the IREF's operations is crucial for stakeholders, businesses, and policymakers to navigate the complexities of the rice export sector. This blog explores the areas where the Indian Rice Exporters Federation operates, highlighting its influence and strategic engagements in the global rice trade.

1. National Scope: Regions of Rice Production in India

The Indian Rice Exporters Federation’s operations are closely tied to India’s major rice-producing states. Here’s a look at the key regions:

Punjab and Haryana: Known as the "Granary of India," these states are pivotal in the production of both basmati and non-basmati rice varieties. The IREF’s operations in these areas focus on ensuring quality standards and promoting exports.

Uttar Pradesh: As one of the largest rice-producing states, Uttar Pradesh contributes significantly to the federation’s export activities, particularly for non-basmati varieties.

West Bengal: A major player in both the domestic market and the export sector, West Bengal’s rice varieties are integral to the federation’s operations, especially in meeting international demand.

Andhra Pradesh and Telangana: These states are prominent in producing high-quality varieties of rice, including premium basmati. The IREF’s activities in these regions include supporting farmers and exporters to meet international standards.

Tamil Nadu: Known for its diverse rice varieties, Tamil Nadu plays a key role in fulfilling export demands, with the IREF focusing on enhancing trade and quality standards.

2. International Operations: Major Export Markets

The Indian Rice Exporters Federation’s influence extends beyond national borders. The federation’s international operations are crucial in maintaining India’s position as a leading rice exporter. Key export markets include:

Middle East and North Africa (MENA): Countries in the MENA region are significant importers of Indian rice, particularly basmati. The IREF works to strengthen trade relations and ensure compliance with regional standards.

Southeast Asia: India exports a considerable amount of rice to Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia. The IREF focuses on navigating regional trade agreements and maintaining competitive pricing.

Europe: European countries are growing markets for Indian rice, especially specialty varieties. The IREF’s operations in Europe involve ensuring adherence to strict quality and safety regulations.

North America: The United States and Canada are key markets for Indian rice, with the IREF working to expand market share and address regulatory challenges.

Africa: Indian rice exports to Africa have been increasing, with the IREF playing a role in addressing logistical challenges and meeting the diverse needs of African consumers.

3. Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships

To strengthen its global presence, the IREF engages in various strategic initiatives and partnerships:

Trade Fairs and Exhibitions: The IREF participates in international trade fairs and exhibitions to showcase Indian rice and build connections with global buyers.

Bilateral Agreements: The federation works on forming bilateral trade agreements to facilitate smoother export processes and address trade barriers.

Quality Certification Programs: Ensuring that Indian rice meets international quality standards is a key focus. The IREF collaborates with certification bodies to maintain and enhance the quality of exported rice.

4. Challenges and Future Outlook

Despite its robust operations, the IREF faces several challenges:

Logistical Issues: Exporting rice involves complex logistics, including transportation and warehousing, which can impact the efficiency of exports.

Regulatory Hurdles: Different countries have varying regulations for food imports, and navigating these can be challenging for the federation.

Market Competition: With competition from other rice-producing countries, maintaining a competitive edge is crucial for the IREF.

Looking ahead, the IREF is focusing on expanding its market reach, improving export processes, and enhancing the quality of Indian rice to sustain and grow its global presence.

Conclusion

The Indian Rice Exporters Federation operates extensively both within India and on the global stage, playing a vital role in the international rice market. By focusing on major rice-producing regions in India and key export markets worldwide, the IREF continues to drive India’s rice export success.

Lawrence Bishnoi has emerged as one of India's most notorious gangsters, often referred to as the "new mafia boss" due to his rising influence and violent criminal network. His gang operates across multiple states in India, including Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, and even parts of Maharashtra. With over 700 shooters under his command, Bishnoi's criminal empire is vast, resembling the infamous D-Company of Dawood Ibrahim in both structure and operations. Bishnoi's rise to power has been marked by his involvement in high-profile criminal activities, including extortion, drug trafficking, and assassinations. His gang became widely known following the 2022 assassination of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, an act for which his close associate Goldy Brar claimed responsibility. Bishnoi, despite being in jail, allegedly orchestrated this killing, showcasing the far-reaching influence of his syndicate. In recent years, the Bishnoi gang has expanded beyond India, with links to international criminal networks, particularly in Canada. The gang recruits young men by promising them opportunities abroad, often involving them in illicit activities. His operations are heavily reliant on social media to recruit and intimidate, much like modern terror organizations. A defining feature of Bishnoi's criminal career is his ideological stance, rooted in the Bishnoi community’s reverence for nature, particularly the blackbuck species. This belief led to his infamous threats against Bollywood star Salman Khan, who was embroiled in a legal case for allegedly killing blackbucks. Bishnoi's future criminal trajectory is being closely monitored by Indian authorities, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) filing charges against him under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). His gang's rapid expansion, sophisticated use of technology, and ability to coordinate across borders make him a formidable figure in India's underworld. The question now is whether Bishnoi will continue to wield such power from behind bars or if law enforcement will successfully dismantle his widespread network. As of 2024, his gang remains a major threat, with growing ties to pro-Khalistani groups and terror outfits, raising concerns about national security.
