poor youth from Ram-
sar of Churu district
beingtakentoThailand
by human trafficking
gang on the pretext of
employment abroad
and from there being il-
legally taken hostage in
a ship has come to light.
Sunil Kumar Shar-
ma, a resident of Ram-
sar in Churu district,
requested Charmesh
Sharma, the Congress
leader of Bundi, who
works for the assis-
tance of distressed In-
dians abroad, to take
him to his family in In-
dia. Sharma was
shocked to hear the or-
deal of the youth. Ju-
galkishore Sharma, the
elderly father of the
youth, is also worried
about his son’s safety
after being trapped in
Malaysia.
Sunil shared his or-
deal via social media
from Malaysia that an
agent Iqbal Khan in
Churu had promised
him to get employment
with a valid work visa
in Malaysia for Rs 1.05
lakh. In order to feed
his poor family, Sunil
fell into the trap of the
agent. The agent, how-
ever, took Rs 1.35 lakh
from him by pressuring
him. He was taken to
Thailand and from
there shifted to Malay-
sia in a ship without a
visa. His life is in dan-
ger due to illegal arriv-
al in Malaysia.

BJP’s camp in a Chomu
palacehotelincreasedto
73 on Sunday
. MLA Ka-
licharan Saraf said that
nine councillors of Con-
gress and 4 independ-
ents are in touch with
the party leader while
Ashok Lahoti claimed
that the BJP candidate
for Mayor election will
get over 100 votes.
The party leaders
held a meeting of the
councillors in which the
councillors were teach-
ing ‘lessons’ on disci-
pline. The command of
the arrangements is
with the BJP spokesper-
son and MLA Ramlal
Sharma. Despite Laho-
ty’s claim that more
than 100 votes are with
BJP, the party is also
afraid of cross voting.
On the other hand, no
outsiderisbeingallowed
to enter the hotel. There
were speculations that
the party may shift the
councillors to another
hotel but Sharma clari-
fied that all the coun-
cilors will continue to
stay in the same hotel.
He also countered min-
ister Pratap Singh’s
statement and said that
Congress has its mayor
in JMCH so why devel-
opment is stalled there
and why councillors are
staging dharna there.

First India Bureau
Bundi: Upset with the
risingincidentsof thefts
in his area, Keshoraipa-
tan BJP MLA Chandra-
kanta Meghwal climbed
a water tank and de-
manded that District
Collector Ravindra Gos-
wami SP must reach
the spot and assure that
thefts would be looked
into and only then she
would come down.
Meghwal said that Rs
25 lakh was stolen in the
past. Silver rings were
looted by chopping off
the feet of an elderly
woman. But the police
have not arrested the ac-
cused. She said that the
victim has met the po-
lice officer, but no action
has been taken. Angry
with an increase in theft
incidents in Bundi dis-
trict and slack function-
ing of the police, she
climbed up water tank.
The BJP MLA said
that the people of Bundi
are troubled because of
criminals. “There is no
law and order in the dis-
trict. Even the top police
officers are not listen-
ing. A large number of
BJP workers were pre-
sent along with MLA.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: An unknown
person is repeatedly ir-
ritating Disaster Man-
agement Minister Go-
vindram Meghwal by
calling him on mobile.
He does not introduce
himself properly. Irri-
tated over this, the min-
ister threatened and
abused him. However,
even after this, he did
not reveal his name. A
video showing the min-
ister talking to him has
gone viral.
Recently, someone
called the cabinet min-
ister and when Megh-
wal asked him for his
full introduction, he
called himself “Chou-
han Saab”. On this, Go-
vind Ram scolded him
and then abused. This
man said he was calling
himself a Poogal. When
the minister asked
about the exact location
in Poogal, he did not di-
vulge details. Later he
said that he was in Bi-
kaner. He did not even
tell where he was speak-
ing from in Bikaner.
This angered Govind
Ram and he abused
him. The person who
called was seen talking
very calmly
.

IN-DEPTH
REGIONAL PARTIES
SHOW THEIR
STRENGTH IN
ASSEMBLY BY-POLLS
f the state assembly by-
election results have any
message it is that the BJP
is becoming increasingly
unstoppable. It has won
the Gola Gokarannath seat in
Uttar Pradesh, Haryana’s Ad-
ampur and Odisha’s Dhamna-
gar seats. The BJP also retained
the Gopalganj seat. The Con-
gress, on the other hand, has
come a cropper, which is bad
news for its prospects in Gujarat
and Himachal Pradesh.
The regional parties like Shiv
Sena (Uddhav), Rashtriya Jana-
ta Dal and Telangana Rashtra
Samithi denied victory to BJP in
prestigious and close battles for
Mumbai’s Andheri East, Bihar’s
Mokama and Telangana’s
Munugode seats. The Munugode
win is of special interest as the
BJP was desperate to grab this
seat. Andheri East victory has
come as a boost to Uddhav
Thackeray faction’s claim of en-
joying people’s support over
that of Eknath Shinde faction.
Significantly, these results
provide a clearer picture of Op-
position unity before the 2024
parliamentary election. It is the
regional parties which will pose
a challenge to the BJP.
TOP TWEETS
I
oliticians and
journalists in Pa-
kistan have to be
careful not to rub
the army and the
ISI on the wrong side. If they
do, they either end up in a
mortuary or in the wilder-
ness. Despite Pakistan’s
claim of being a democracy,
it has not been able to get out
of the army and ISI’s shadow.
The role of ISI is alleged in
the killing of a Pakistani
journalist in Kenya and also
the assassination attempt on
former Prime Minister Im-
ran Khan. Imran Khan al-
leged Prime Minister She-
hbaz Sharif, Interior Minis-
ter Rana Sanaullah and Ma-
jor-General Faisal Naseer
were part of the conspiracy
to eliminate him.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf
(PTI) party president’s
charge has not gone down
well with the army which has
issued a terse warning. In a
statement the Army said that
the “baseless allegations
against the institution and
particularly a senior Army
officer are absolutely unac-
ceptable and uncalled for”.
Shehbaz Sharif described
Imran Khan as a liar “from
head to toe”.
To tighten the screws on
PTI, the country’s electronic
media watchdog has passed a
gag order on all electronic
channels from broadcasting
or rebroadcasting Imran
Khan’s press conferences or
speeches to avoid creating ha-
tred among people. A similar
gagorderissuedbythewatch-
dog earlier was struck down
by the Supreme Court of Pa-
kistan. Free speech, anyone?
These are not signs of a
healthy democracy which,
incidentally, Pakistan has
never been. For the army and
ISI a strong democracy is an
anathema and the two insti-
tutions prefer to keep their
national and state govern-
ments’ strings in their hands.

INDIA CRUSHES ZIMBABWE,
STRIDES INTO SEMIS AS SURYA SHINES
he Men in Blue have left the
ghosts of the 2021 T20 world
Cup well behind them as they
enter the semi-finals topping
their group in the league
stage. On Sunday, in front of
an 80 thousand plus crowd in
Melbourne Cricket Ground,
India won by 71 runs against
Zimbabwe and set up a semi-
final clash against England
on Thursday
. India’s win had
all the bases covered as they
dominated the match in all
departments of the game.
But the cherry on the cake
was Suryakumar Yadav’s
scintillating hitting in the
last 5 overs of Indian innings.
His 61 of 25 balls not only
made sure that India reached
a formidable total but also
reminded Indian fans about
how good a middle order
batsman Surya is and the one
that Team India was missing
over the past few years.
India’s berth in the Semis
was already booked after
Netherlands pulled off a stun-
ning upset over South Africa
earlier in the day
. But as is
rightly said, momentum is
easy to lose and one must
keep it going as long as pos-
sible, especially heading into
the business end of a major
tournament. So, it was impor-
tant for India to win comfort-
ably to stay confident before
thebigclashagainstEngland.
India made only one change
in their line up as Rishabh
Pant was included in the elev-
eninplaceof DineshKarthik.
Winning the toss, Rohit Shar-
ma chose to bat first. This was
a correct decision according
to most experts particularly
since Rohit himself needed to
find form and spend some
time at the wicket.
Sadly, the Indian skipper
was unable to benefit much
from batting first as he was
dismissed quickly once
again. His terrific shot mak-
ing against short pitched
balls is proving to be his nem-
esis for the time being on the
bouncy pitches of Australia
and Rohit holed out pulling
one straight to deep square
leg scoring just 15. Kohli and
Rahul then kept the score
card moving, stitching a 60-
run partnership for the sec-
ond wicket. Rahul was the
aggressor between the two
and he put up another classy
show of his striking abilities.
His 51 off 35 balls set up the
base for a big total and at the
halfway stage, India was at 80
having lost just 1 wicket.
It was then that a mini col-
lapse threatened to derail In-
dia. Rahul, Kohli and Pant all
perished within a span of
just 14 runs. The stage was
set for a Hardik and Surya
show. While Hardik played
the second fiddle making 18
of 18 balls, Surya stole the
limelight with his 4 sixes and
6 fours. His constant scoop-
ing of Zimbabwean bowlers
over the short fine leg for
boundaries and sixers had all
fans in a tizzy
. His knock put
India in a powerful position
and gave their bowlers a
strong total of 186 to defend.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has
been in fine form since his
return from injury and has
bowled many dot balls in pow-
erplay overs. His first over
was a maiden again as he
picked up a wicket on his very
first delivery
. Kohli dived to
pick up a stunning catch to
dismiss Wessly Madhevere. It
was total capitulation from
then on by the Zimbabwe
batsman. All Indian bowlers
chipped in with wickets at
regular intervals. After the
powerplay Zimbabwe was at
27 runs having lost 3 wickets
and then got reduced to 36 for
5 in the next two overs. Si-
kandarRazahasbeenthebest
batsman for Zimbabwe in the
tournament and his 34 along
with Ryan Burl’s 35 took their
team to a semblance of a total
before it all concluded in the
18th over as they were bowled
for a paltry 115.
The Men in Blue now head
to Adelaide for their semi-fi-
nal meeting with England.
India’s roaring juggernaut
has gained the much-needed
confidence ahead of the
knock-out contest. England
meanwhile, struggled to win
against a weak Sri Lankan
team in their last league
game. Both teams though
were tagged as the favorites
at the start of the tournament
and now stand just 2 wins
away from ultimate glory
.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
T
The other semi-final clash is
between Pakistan and New
Zealand, which is on
Wednesday in Sydney.
India doesn’t play Pakistan
in bilateral series anymore
but fans now wait for them
to meet in such ICC events.
The expectations of them
clashing once more in the
finals are immense and its
not just the fans praying for
this scenario to play out but
the broadcasters all over the
world too must be licking
their lips of an India-
Pakistan World Cup final in
Melbourne next Sunday!

Nagrota (PTI): The
BJP will win both the
lowerandupperpartsof
Himachal Pradesh, Un-
ionHomeMinisterAmit
Shah said on Sunday
ahead of the Assembly
polls on November 12.
During an election
rally here in Kangra
district, Shah also took
a swipe at the poll guar-
antees given by the Con-
gress in its manifesto.
The state is divided
into upper and lower
Himachal. While Man-
di,Kullu,Shimla,Solan,
Kinnaur, Lahaul-Spiti,
Sirmaur and Chamba
form upper Himachal,
the lower parts of the
state comprise Chamba,
Una, Kangra Bilaspur
and Hamirpur. Tradi-
tionally, the Congress
has been a strong con-
tender in the upper
parts of the state.
Shah claimed that the
saffron party will
trounce the Congress in
its bastion.
Alleging that the
Congress was involved
in corruption during its
tenure,Shahsaid,“Who
will believe in their
guarantees? They ruled
for 10 years but only in-
dulged in big scams.
Now they are making
guarantees to befool the
innocent people of
Himachal Pradesh.”
Hailing Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi,
Shah said his stature
had grown globally
.
He claimed when In-
dian students were
strandedinUkrainedur-
ing its war with Russia,
Modi had called up pres-
idents of the two coun-
tries and asked them to
stop the war for a couple
of days so that Indians
could be evacuated.
“This is unprecedent-
ed for the world. Our
students were evacuat-
ed safely,” Shah said.
The home minister
also made a mention of
the development work
and government initia-
tives like Himcare
health scheme and Jal
Jeevan Mission to en-
suresafedrinkingwater.
Lauding Chief Minis-
ter Jai Ram Thakur,
Shah said the state at-
tracted an investment
of Rs 44,000 crore under
his leadership.

Srinagar (ANI): Tour-
ists are thronging JK
with the onset of the
autumn season in the
valley and winter all set
to fall in some time.
One reason behind
the tourists (local and
foreign) heading to J-K
is the poplar tree which
has become an impor-
tant part of the Kash-
miri culture. The poplar
here doubles the beauty
of the place due to its
height and beauty, a re-
port said. In the months
of October and Novem-
ber, the view of poplars
in Kashmir gives a dif-
ferent colour. In sum-
mer, poplar trees are
dressed in deep red, yel-
low and amber colours.
The beautiful atmos-
phere of the region is
enhanced by the cool-
ness in the air, mild sun-
shine throughout the
day, cold mornings and
evenings and burning
poplar trees all around
during this period.
Mughal Gardens are
the first choice of tour-
ists during this season
as these gardens are
filled with poplar trees.
Kashmir is known
and recognized all over
the world because of its
changing seasons, be it
winter or summer,
spring or autumn. All
the weathers here have
a different feel and vis-
ual appeal.
However, walking on
the fallen poplar leaves
in the autumn season is
a different experience
for tourists, report said.
“The thing here is dif-
ferent. We have seen
suchscenesonlyinmov-
ies till now. The joy and
happiness that is felt to-
day by witnessing them
cannot be expressed in
words,” said Mumbai-
based Busha Patel who
visited Kashmir.

The minister spoke

He said that Prime Min-

that businesses create in-

Chandrasekhar said that

‘SIGNIFICANT WORK DONE, DRAFT DIGITAL
INDIA ACT FRAMEWORK BY EARLY 2023’
New Delhi (PTI): A significant amount of work has been done
on proposed Digital India Act, and the draft legislative frame-
work to support ‘India’s techade’ is expected by early 2023,
MoS for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said. The comments
assume significance as India is moving swiftly towards a strong
framework to catalyse its digital ambitions and govern online

into framing key legislations which are going to be essential
building blocks for ‘new India’ and its digital architecture.
Mumbai (PTI): Currency
with the public has jumped
to a new high of `30.88 lakh
crore as of October 21, il-
lustrating that cash usage
is still robust even six years
after demonetisation move.
At `30.88 lakh crore, the
currency with the public is
71.84% higher than the
level for the fortnight end-
ed November 4, 2016. On
November 8, 2016, PM Nar-
endra Modi had announced
the decision to withdraw
`500 and `1,000 denomina-
tion notes with the ulti-
mate aim of reducing cor-
ruption and black money
.
The intent of the move,
which was criticised by
many experts for poor
planning and execution,
was to make India a “less
cash” economy
.
As per the fortnightly
data on money supply re-
leased by the RBI on Friday
,
the currency with the pub-
lic increased to `30.88 lakh
crore as on October 21. The
central bank data for Re-
serve Money had put the
currency in circulation at
`17.7 lakh crore on Novem-
ber 4, 2016. Currency with
public refers to notes and
coins used by people to
transact, settle trades, and
for buying goods and ser-
vices. The figure is arrived
at after deducting cash
with banks from the cur-
rency in circulation.

Jaipur: Three IAS of
state cadre are giving
their services in other
states and among these,
the case of 2005 batch
IAS Punam, is unique.
According to the rules,
any IAS can go on depu-
tation in their home
state, only for a maxi-
mum of five years. How-
ever,ithasbeensixyears
since Punam went to Bi-
har and even now there
seems no possibility of
her early return. And it
is said that she doesn’t
want to return also.
In October 2016, Pu-
nam went to her Home
state on deputation and
later she took a three
year extension as well.
When the five year term
ended, she excused her-
self on the pretext of
Covid crisis and extend-
ed her ‘stay’ for one
more year. While the
Bihar Government
agreed, the Rajasthan
Government did not
give its approval.
She then headed to
CAT and got a stay on
her return. Originally
this stay was temporary
and for few weeks only,
but even this stay has
continued to get extend-
ed again and again as
Punam is running from
pillar to post to get the
extension done, every
time. Interestingly, the
extension period too
ended on October 30,
2022, but because of
CAT, she has continued
to stay put in Bihar.
Notably, Punam has
her own family in Patna
and thus the current
‘placement’, as Com-
missioner of Saharan,
suits her. Interestingly,
it is the Central DoPT
that is fighting the legal
battle against Punam in
CAT and why the law-
yers of DoPT have so
far been unable to get
CAT’s stay vacated, is a
mystery. But what is
even more bizarre is the
approach of Rajasthan
DoP, which is more or
less a muted spectator
in the CAT’s legal bat-
tle. Rajasthan already
has a dearth of senior
IAS and on the other
hand PUnam has chal-
lenged the very rules
and principles on which
the bureaucracy has to
work; a move which is
wrong. Rajasthan DoP
should bring back Pu-
nam in any way it can.

10. he trench coat is a
great investment
piece for trans-sea-
sonal clothing, and
its enduring value
rests in its adapta-
bility. Indeed, the
belted waist assures a flatter-
ing fit with no effort, while its
timeless design gives simple
layering choices for any out-
fit - from dresses and jeans to
knitwear and tailored pants.
A trench coat is a must
have in everyone's closet.
You can't go wrong with
them; they're versatile, clas-
sic, and ready for any
weather. Whether you're a
fan of layering a trench coat
over a T-shirt and blazer for
extra warmth, or you like to
drape it over your shoul-
ders, a trench coat has the
magical power to make any
outfit feel a million times
more polished.
Your shoes may also dras-
tically alter the look of
your outfit: keep it casual
with sneakers, or dress it
up with loafers, ballerina
flats, pumps, or ankle
boots. Instead of jeans,
you may wear a basic cot-
ton or sweater dress be-
neath.
Trench coats have de-
veloped from a useful
garment to a more fash-
ion-forward garment,
with a plethora of design
and material options
available. Cut-outs,
asymmetries, embroi-
deries, a combination of
patterns, hues, and ma-
terials: today's design-
ers have made a limit-
less number of sugges-
tions so that every-
body may choose one
or more variants of
the trench coat to
wear and combine in
the most diverse
ways. A trench coat
may provide that ex-
tra something to
your wardrobe if
you want to dress to
impress.
