US President Donald
Trump on Wednesday re-
iterated his claim that he
averted a war between
India and Pakistan by
leveraging trade pressure
on both nations. Even as
he praised PM Narendra
Modi as the ?nicest look-
ing guy? and ?tough as
hell,? Trump claimed that
India adhered to pressure
& stopped war within 2
days after the US Presi-
dent called and spoke to
PM. ?PM Modi is nicest-
looking guy. He?s a killer.
He?s tough as hell. No,
we will fight. I said,
Whoa, this is the same
man that I know,? Trump
said while speaking at
APEC CEO Summit in
Gyeongju, South Korea.
The US President also
referred to the ongoing
trade negotiations with
India, saying, ?I am do-
ing a trade deal with In-
dia, and I have great re-
spect and love for Modi.
We have a great relation-
ship.? Trump said that
India and Pakistan ar-
gued that war has nothing
to do with trade with the
US. ?Seven planes were
shot down, seven brand
new, beautiful planes
were shot down, and they
were going at it, two big
nuclear powers,? he said.

Union Home Minister
Amit Shah on Wednes-
day said there was ?no
seat vacant? in politics,
asserting that Nitish Ku-
mar will remain the Chief
Minister in Bihar while
Narendra Modi will con-
tinue to be the Prime
Minister at the Centre.
Addressing a public
meeting, Shah remarked:
?CM ya PM koi seat kha-
li nahi hai? yahan Nitish

response to speculation
over leadership ambitions
within the opposition.
While addressing the
rally, Amit Shah said
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi had enhanced Bi-
har?s image by confer-
ring the Bharat Ratna on
former CM Karpoori
Thakur. Shah also urged
the voters to ensure a

Israeli strikes killed at
least 104 people across
Gaza overnight, in what
appeared to be the deadli-
est day since Israel and
Hamas agreed on a cease-
fire three weeks ago. The
strikes began late Tues-
day after the Israeli gov-
ernment accused Hamas
of violating the truce by
failing to return the bod-
ies of dead captives and
by attacking Israeli forc-
es in Rafah, southern
Gaza. The Israeli military
said one of its soldiers,
Master Sgt Yona Efraim,
had been killed in the Ra-
fah attack. On Wednes-
day, Israeli Defence Min-
ister Israel Katz, said
?dozens of Hamas com-
manders? had been killed
in strikes overnight.

Sheikh Hasina on
Wednesday said she had
no plans of leaving India,
warning that millions of
voters would be boycott-
ing the election in Bang-
ladesh if her party, the
Awami League, wasn?t
allowed to participate.
In an interview to a
news agency, Hasina re-
fused to apologise for the
killings that took place in
July-August 2024 during
the agitation that led to
the toppling of her re-
gime. Hasina added she
?lives freely in Delhi but
remains cautious given
her family?s violent his-
tory?. ?I would of course
love to go home, so long
as the government there
was legitimate, the Con-
stitution was being up-
held, and law and order
genuinely prevailed,? she
said. Hasina also said,
?The ban on the Awami
League is not only un-
just, it is self-defeating.?

In a major crackdown on
narcotics smuggling, the
Central Narcotics Bureau
in Kota arrested a drug
trafficker and seized two
kilograms of contraband
substances valued at
around Rs 2 crore. The
operation was carried out
near Sayla on the Barmer
Road in Jalore district un-
der the supervision of
Deputy Commissioner
Naresh Bundel.
Officials said the bu-
reau is continuing its in-
vestigation to trace the
wider network involved
in the smuggling opera-
tion. In a separate opera-
tion in Jaipur, the Jawahar
Circle Police, led by ACP
Malviya Nagar Aditya
Poonia, arrested a notori-
ous drug supplier identi-
fied as Dilip Dan. Police
recovered 35 grams of
MDMA from his posses-
sion, which had report-
edly been brought from
Barmer to Jaipur. Accord-
ing to sources, the ac-
cused had been selling the
synthetic drug at Rs 4,000
per gram and had trans-
ported narcotics to Jaipur
multiple times over the
past five months. Further
interrogation is underway
to identify his associates.

Residents object to dog-feeding zone

n compliance
with Supreme
Court direc-
tives, the Jodhpur Mu-
nicipal Corporation has
launched a special cam-
paign from Wednesday to
ensure the welfare and
protection of stray dogs.
As part of the initiative,
designated dog-feeding
zones are being set up
across different parts of
the city to provide safe
spaces where strays can
access food.
However, lapses in im-
plementation have come
to light, with some feed-
ing zones reportedly
marked at unsuitable pub-
lic spots such as road in-
tersections and park en-
trances. Senior citizen
M.R. Malkani and other
residents
pointed out that
the SC’s guidelines clear-
ly recommend creating
feeding zones in secure
and segregated areas—
not in parks, public
squares, or along busy
roads.
They expressed
concern that locating
such zones in crowded
public areas could pose
safety risks to pedestri-
ans, & the elderly,.

Rajasthan witnessed re-
cord tourist inflow during
the Diwali season, with
adventure, wildlife, heri-
tage, and religious desti-
nations reporting unprec-
edented footfall. Jaipur,
Udaipur, Jaisalmer,
Mount Abu, and Pushkar
emerged as top draws.
Adventure tourism is
gaining momentum, with
new sites planned under
the Rajasthan Adventure
Policy. Religious destina-
tions like Pushkar, Nathd-
wara, and Khatu Shyamji
saw a massive turnout,
while Ranthambhore, Sa-
riska, and Jhalana were
packed with wildlife en-
thusiasts. Jaipur’s monu-
ments, markets, and hotels
reported near-full occu-
pancy, generating strong
business for local traders.
According to the Tour-
ism Department, Diwali
tourism generated over Rs
1,800 crore in revenue and
created 50,000 temporary
jobs. The state is also fo-
cusing on green and smart
tourism through eco-
friendly initiatives, digital
guides, and improved
sanitation. Deputy Chief
Minister Diya Kumari said
Rajasthan is becoming
“the engine of economic
growth through tourism,”
with a 25% rise in arrivals
compared to last year.

A fire broke out in a gov-
ernment ration shop lo-
cated in a three-storey
residential building in
Jaipur on Wednesday
evening. The shopkeeper
initially tried to extin-
guish the flames but failed
to control the blaze and
fled the scene. As the fire
intensified, kerosene
drums stored inside the
shop began to explode.
The Galta Gate police
arrived shortly after re-
ceiving the alert and evac-
uated around eight nearby
houses as a precaution.
The fire was so severe
that the shop?s roof was
damaged, and part of it
collapsed. Gradually, the
flames spread to the upper
floors of the building.
Firefighters reached the
spot and managed to bring
the fire under control after
about 30 minutes of effort.
During the operation, they
recovered around seven
LPG cylinders from four
rooms on the upper floor.

Revolutionary TiAl alloy developed at IIT Jodhpur
First India Bureau
-RGKSXU
esearchers at
IIT Jodhpur
have developed
a breakthrough Titani-
um-Aluminide (TiAl) al-
loy, TiAl-CA, poised to
transform aerospace and
defence manufacturing.
Designed by Prof. S. S.
Nene and his team, the
boron-free alloy com-
bines exceptional high-
temperature strength
with low weight?main-
taining a 1.1 GPa yield
strength even at 900 ?C.
Unlike conventional al-
loys that weaken under
extreme heat, TiAl-CA
outperforms nickel-
based superalloys while
being nearly half their
density (4.13 g/cc).
The innovative mix of
niobium, molybdenum,
tantalum, tungsten, and
vanadium makes it
strong yet non-brittle.
Ideal for fuel-efficient
jet engines, the material
also suits 3D printing
technologies like elec-
tron-beam melting and
laser powder bed fusion.

faulty seed production units

The Rajasthan govern-
ment has cancelled the
registration certificates of
two seed production cen-
tres after irregularities
were found during in-
spections in Sri Gangana-
gar and Hanumangarh
districts. The action has
been taken against Star
Agri Seeds Pvt. Ltd. and
Suraj Agro Cooperative
Society Ltd. for viola-
tions related to seed pro-
duction and certification
norms, the Agriculture
Department said in a
statement.
Agriculture Minister
Dr. Kirodi Lal Meena had
recently inspected several
seed production sites in
both districts. During the
inspections, irregularities
were detected in the op-
erations of the two firms
in Sangaria area of Hanu-
mangarh district, the
statement said. Accord-
ing to Meena, the govern-
ment is committed to pro-
viding farmers with high-
quality seeds, fertilisers,
and pesticides, but dis-
crepancies were found in
the certification process
during the field visits.
Officials said the two
companies had failed to
undertake certified seed
production programmes
for Kharif 2024, Rabi
2024?25, and Kharif
2025 seasons. As per the
certification rules, each
registered seed producer
must conduct seed pro-
duction on at least 40 hec-
tares in a single season
and 100 hectares in a
year. Since the firms
failed to comply, their
registration certificates
and the seed certification
centre number (20-294)
have been cancelled, the
department said.
In another case, Sri
Ganganagar-based Jais-
hankar Seeds Pvt. Ltd. was
found to have submitted
incorrect documents under
the Kharif 2025 seed pro-
duction programme. The
entire programme for that
season has been cancelled
due to the irregularities de-
tected during inspection.
93 builders face action
by JDA for unpaid levies
DUE OF ` 64 CR PRINCIPAL, ` 36 CR INTEREST
First India Bureau
-DLSXU
The Jaipur Development
Authority (JDA) has is-
sued final notices to
builders who collectively
owe several crores of ru-
pees in unpaid better-
ment levy and related
fees. The action follows
the identification of 93
builders whose post-dat-
ed cheques have bounced,
with interest pushing
dues as high as over Rs
100 crore rupees.
Under the new direc-
tive, each of the builders
has been given a 15-day
deadline to clear the out-
standing amounts. Failure
to comply will result in
the seizure and auction of
their properties. The JDA
has also publicly released
the list of defaulters, in-
cluding details of assets
that are liable for attach-
ment. The JDA authori-
ties report that of the 93
defaulters, 34 have dues
exceeding Rs 1 crore.
From the total collection
due, approximately ` 64
crore is the principal
amount from post-dated
checks, while nearly ` 36
crore constitutes interest
accrued due to delayed
payment.
Despite repeated de-
mands, many builders de-
layed payment, causing
significant interest accu-
mulation. The charges are
mandatory under city
planning guidelines, and
the JDA has reserved the
right to cancel projects or
seize assets.

Panic at Nahargarh Safari as tourists come close to tiger!

Panic ensued at the Na-
hargarh Tiger Safari on
Sunday when a tourist
bus veered off track and
got stuck in the mud,
coming dangerously
close to a tiger named
Gulab, who was seated
on a nearby rock. Assis-
tant Forest Conservator
Devendra Singh Rathore,
Range Officer Shubham
Sharma, and Safari In-
Charge Rajaram were
present at the spot when
the incident occurred.
The driver attempted to
move the vehicle out of
the slush but failed. Act-
ing promptly, Rathore
called in the staff to tow
the bus and used the ve-
hicle?s horn to safely
drive the tiger away.
A rescue operation
lasting about 25 minutes
ensured that all tourists
were safely transferred to
another vehicle. Owing
to the ongoing rains, the
safari track has become
muddy and unstable. Ex-
perts have recommended
temporarily suspending
the safari until a parallel
rescue track is developed
to ensure visitor safety.

Based on the number
of questions asked in
both Houses, Rathore
emerged as the most ac-

the state, having raised
57 questions during the
session.
In contrast, Rajya Sab-
ha MPs Chunnilal Gara-

not ask a single question.
Among the BJP MPs
from Rajasthan, CP Joshi
asked the fewest ? just
12 questions.
The Monsoon Session
ran from 21 July to 21
August, spanning 32
days and 21 sittings. Ra-
jasthan has a total of 35
MPs, including 25 from
the Lok Sabha and 10

?MODI HAI TO MUMKIN HAI??UNTOLD STORIES OF PM MODI ? PART 152
MODI?S ENDURING LIGHT:
FROM REBUILDING KUTCH
TO INSPIRING THE WORLD
The narrators recall how PM Narendra Modi turned moments of
despair into symbols of hope, from lighting diyas in quake-hit
Kutch, to lighting faith and friendship across continents
RAILA ODINGA-MODI FRIENDSHIP
STRENGTHENED INDIA-KENYA BOND
MODI?S DIWALI OF
HOPE IN KUTCH
utch is the largest district
of India and is known
today for its tourism,
handicraft and a bur-
geoning energy sector. But, the earth-
quake of January 2001 had once left
Kutch devastated. Thousands lost
their lives in that disaster. In mere
moments, homes turned into rubble.
Silence swallowed the land and sor-
row hung heavy in the air. That year,
in villages of Kutch like Chobari,
Diwali was consumed by darkness
and grief. Neither there was food to
eat, shelter to stay in, nor clothes to
wear. But amid the ruins, a spark of
hope flickered. New state chief min-
ister Narendra Modi chose to spend
his first Diwali not in Gandhinagar,
amid customary official celebrations,
but with the people of Kutch who
had lost everything. He travelled to
Chobari, one of the worst-hit villages
and vowed to rebuild it. There were
no fireworks, no sweets, no lamps?
only tears, pain and memories of
those who were gone. Modi sat with
the villagers and listened to their sor-
row. Together they visited the broken
village temple and sang Ram kirtans.
They lit hundreds of diyas (earthen
lamps) in memory of every life lost
in the devastating earthquake as a
tribute to the innocent souls. As the
flames flickered in the dark, they
brought strength and hope to the peo-
ple. Light returned to a land that had
forgotten to smile. For Narendra
Modi, Diwali that year was not a cel-
ebration. It was about sharing sor-
rows of those thousands and rebuild-
ing hope for generations. Modi ji
travelled with villagers on foot to
take stock of the situation in nooks
and corners of the village to have a
first-hand idea of the scale of the dev-
astation. He talked to people like a
commoner to understand their diffi-
culties and decide the roadmap for
their restoration and rehabilitation.
His gesture touched every heart. It
marked the beginning of emotional
healing for the people of Kutch.
Never had they heard or seen a state
chief minister come down to a small
village, leaving all his important
work behind, and share people?s sor-
rows like their own. Modi ji?s only
concern was to assuage the grief of
the people at the earliest and make
Kutch stand on its feet again. He
stood behind the people of Kutch as
a figure of assurance and strength,
who could protect and empower
them. He praised the courage and
resilience of the people and inspired
them to march ahead. By and by
Kutch grew. Schools and colleges
came up. So did new offices and in-
dustries, along with roads and canals,
which the people of this remote re-
gion could only dream of. Modi ji
had kept his promise. He kept other
works at bay and focussed solely on
rebuilding Kutch. When everyone
thought Kutch was a lost story, Modi
ji made the impossible possible, just
in his way - which the world is seeing
today through the country?s unprec-
edented development. Years later,
when Kutch rose as a symbol of Gu-
jarat?s spirit, people still remember
that Diwali night. It was a Diwali
when Narendra Modi lit not just
homes, but the hearts of those who
had lost it all! And that light still
glows in everyone?s life.
K
y friendship with Indi-
an PM Narendra Modi
began in 2008. Naren-
dra Modi was the chief
minister of Gujarat and I was the
Prime Minister of Kenya. Their
first meetings in India and later in
Kenya marked the beginning of a
warm and lasting relationship. I
was impressed by Modi?s open-
ness, sincerity, sense of duty, and
also his sense of humour. We both
shared a common vision for devel-
opment, believing in innovation,
entrepreneurship, and strong gov-
ernance. My visits to Gujarat dur-
ing the Vibrant Gujarat Summits in
2009 and 2012 strengthened this
friendship. Modi had invited me as
one of the chief guests. During my
stay, I met business leaders and ob-
served Gujarat?s transformation. I
toured several infrastructure pro-
jects and was impressed by the
pace of development. Modi ex-
plained to me that simple and trans-
parent laws attract private invest-
ment. It was a great lesson and in-
spired by the Gujarat model, I later
introduced similar PPP mecha-
nisms in Kenya to boost infrastruc-
ture and investment. This exchange
not only strengthened our personal
bond but also enhanced India?Ken-
ya cooperation. Our friendship
grew stronger in February 2022
when I visited India on a private
trip and met PM Modi in New
Delhi. The meeting was warm and
personal. We spoke about our long
relationship and discussed new ar-
eas of cooperation, especially in
healthcare and traditional medi-
cine. During the meeting, I spoke
about my daughter, Rosemary. She
had lost her eyesight after a brain
tumor surgery. We had tried many
treatments in different countries but
found no success. Later, she re-
ceived Ayurvedic treatment in
Kerala, which led to an improve-
ment in her vision. The experience
became a symbol of hope and heal-
ing for our family. PM Modi later
mentioned about Rosemary?s re-
covery in his Mann Ki Baat pro-
gramme. He said Ayurveda had
brought light back into her life. I
express my gratitude to Modi and
India?s Ayurvedic community. I
also wish to introduce Ayurvedic
facilities in Kenya, enabling more
people to benefit. PM Modi wel-
comed the idea and supported
greater cooperation in healthcare
between India and Africa. Over the
years, we continued to strengthen
our bonding. PM Modi often re-
ferred to me as a friend. I am im-
pressed by his leadership, integrity,
and vision that has transformed
India?s economy to the world?s
fourth-largest from the tenth rank,
in just over a decade ? a feat India
could not achieve in last 70 years
before Modi. The highways, the
rail network, airports, waterways,
everything took a giant leap under
the leadership of PM Narendra
Modi. What he did in Gujarat, he
replicated on a larger platform and
thus led India?s growth engine so
successfully. This shared outlook
on development and people-centric
leadership strengthened both our
personal and diplomatic ties. Our
friendship will always be remem-
bered as a bridge of trust and good-
will between India and Kenya.

inority Affairs
Minister Kiren
Rijiju on
Wednesday described
Urdu as ?the most beauti-
ful language in the
world? and said harmony
between Hindus and
Muslims is essential for
the country?s progress
and unity.
Speaking at the 105th
Foundation Day celebra-
tions of Jamia Millia Is-
lamia, he praised the uni-
versity for reflecting In-
dia?s composite culture
and democratic spirit.
?The university?s mot-
to song beautifully re-
flects the values of our
nation. I would like to
remind you that Mahatma
Gandhi and great lumi-
naries such as Sarojini
Naidu supported this uni-
versity when it was being
established,? he said.
Lauding the imple-
mentation of the National
Education Policy (NEP)
in the university, Rijiju
said he was ?highly im-
pressed? with its aca-
demic record and nation-
al ranking.
Emphasising impor-
tance of open debate in a
democracy, he said, ?In
our democracy, people
express their views ag-
gressively, which some-
times creates polarisation.
But that is not necessarily
bad so long as it does not
harm the country.?
Rijiju noted that while
Parliament often wit-
nesses noisy debates, it
remains the best plat-
form for diverse opin-
ions to be expressed.
?As Parliamentary Af-
fairs Minister, it is some-
times tough to run the
House; but chaos in Par-
liament is a sign of a vi-
brant democracy,? he said,
adding that despite disrup-
tions, crucial legislation is
eventually passed ?in the
interest of the nation?.

?India stands as a sym-
bol of strategic autono-

growth,? Modi said, ad-
dressing the Maritime
Leaders Conclave at the
India Maritime Week
2025 event in Mumbai.
India?s vibrant democ-
racy and reliability are
something which makes
India special, Modi said.
?When the global seas
are rough, the world
looks for a steady light-
house. India can play the
role of such a lighthouse
with a lot of strength,? he
said. ?Amid global ten-
sions, trade disruptions
and shifting supply
chains, India is symbol
of strategic autonomy,
peace and inclusive

He said the country?s
maritime and trade initia-
tives are a part of a
broader vision and cited
the India-Middle East-
Europe Economic Corri-
dor as an example of re-
defining trade routes in
the future.
India?s maritime sec-
tor is advancing with
great speed and energy,
Modi said, adding that
the country?s ports are
now counted among the
most efficient in the de-
veloping world. ?We
have replaced over a
century-old colonial
shipping laws with mod-
ern and futuristic laws
suited for the 21st cen-
tury,? Modi said.
?Today, India?s ports
are counted among the
most efficient in the de-
veloping world. In many
aspects, they are per-
forming even better than
those in the developed

The new shipping laws
strengthen the role of
state maritime boards
and promote integration
of digital technologies
into port management,
the prime minister said.

IIT-KANPUR DIRECTOR CLAIMS
Cloud seeding trial paused due to low moisture content
PTI
1HZ'HOKL
cloud-seeding
trial scheduled
for Wednesday
in Delhi has been put on
hold due to insufficient
moisture in the clouds,
the Indian Institute of
Technology-Kanpur said
in a statement.
According to the state-
ment, the process is high-
ly dependent on the right
atmospheric conditions.
The Delhi government
conducted two cloud-
seeding trials on Tuesday
in collaboration with IIT-
Kanpur but there was no
precipitation in Delhi.
Minimal rainfall was re-
corded in Noida and
Greater Noida after the
trials.  
The trials were con-
ducted in parts of Delhi,
including Burari, north
Karol Bagh, Mayur Vi-
har, and Badli.
In the statement, IIT-
Kanpur noted that while
rainfall could not be trig-
gered on Tuesday as
moisture levels were
around 15 to 20 per cent,
the trial delivered valua-
ble insights. 
?Monitoring stations
set up across Delhi cap-
tured real-time changes
in particulate matter and
moisture levels. The data
shows a measurable re-
duction of 6 to 10 per
cent in PM2.5 and PM10
concentrations, indicat-
ing that even under lim-
ited moisture conditions,
cloud seeding can con-
tribute to improved air
quality,? it said.
Asserting that the ob-
servations strengthen
planning for future opera-
tions, the Institute said that
such learnings form the
foundation for more effec-
tive deployments ahead. 
The cloud seeding tri-
als conducted in Delhi on
Tuesday helped in the
reduction of particulate
matter at locations where
the exercise was carried
out even as conditions
were not ideal for it, an
official report said.

Donald Trump and South
Korean President Lee Jae
Myung finalised details
of their fraught trade deal
at a summit in South Ko-
rea on Wednesday, and
the U.S. president also
sounded an optimistic
note about a looming
summit with China’s Xi

The allies unveiled a
deal in late July under
which Seoul would avoid
the worst of U.S. tariffs
on its imports by agreeing
to pump $350 billion of
new investments into the
United States in return for
lower tariff rates. But
talks over the structure of
those investments had
been deadlocked and
both sides had played
down expectations for a
deal during Trump’s visit.
“Prospects were not
bright even last night,

progress on the day,”

Korea’s top presidential
policy chief, told report-

ON HIS THIRD TERM
Trump acknowledges constitutional limits
Agencies
$ERDUG$LU)RUFH2QH
nited States
President Don-
ald Trump said
on Wednesday he would
not seek a third term in
office, a marked shift af-
ter months of teasing the
idea despite constitution-
al limits, but it was un-
clear whether it was his
final word on the matter.
Trump, who is known
for changing his mind on
major issues, was speak-
ing to reporters on Air
Force One during his
Asia trip. His flirtation
with the idea has alarmed
opponents and constitu-
tional experts, who say a
third term would test the
22nd Amendment, which
states no person shall be
elected to the presidency
more than twice.
“If you read it, it’s
pretty clear — I’m not al-
lowed to run. It’s too bad,
but we have a lot of great
people,” Trump said, a
reference to other Repub-
licans who could seek to
succeed him after his cur-
rent term ends in January
2029.
Trump, however, fre-
quently takes what ap-
pear to be firm positions
on issues, only to reverse
course later. Trump, 79,
has in the past repeatedly
refused to rule out the
possibility of seeking a
third four-year term in
2028. His comments
came the day after a close
political ally, U.S. Speak-
er of the House of Repre-
sentatives Mike Johnson,
said he had told Trump
he did not see a path to-
ward changing the Con-
stitution to permit a third
term.
The 22nd Amendment
was adopted in 1951 after
Franklin Roosevelt was
elected president four
times.
“It’s been a great run.
But I think the president
knows, and he and I have
talked about, the con-
strictions of the Constitu-
tion,” Johnson told re-
porters on Capitol Hill.
“I don’t see a way to
amend the Constitution
because it takes about 10
years to do that, as you all
know, to allow all the
states to ratify … what
two-thirds of the House
and three-fourths of the
states would approve,”
Johnson said.

day said that Rajasthan
will host the Khelo India
University Games for the
first time from Novem-
ber 24, featuring around
24 sporting events with
participation from ath-

Reviewing prepara-

ar Vallabhbhai Patel at the
Chief Minister’s Office,
Sharma emphasised the
need for extensive pro-
motion to connect Ra-

Games. He instructed of-
ficials to ensure that infor-
mation about the events,
venues and participants
reaches a wide audience.
The Chief Minister di-
rected officials to ensure
adequate security and
smooth traffic manage-
ment at all divisional
headquarters, including
sports venues and ac-
commodation sites. He
also reviewed arrange-
ments for live telecasts of
the events and directed
the Local Self Govern-
ment Department to
maintain cleanliness and
beautification around sta-
diums and stay facilities.
The Medical Department
was asked to deploy
medical teams at all loca-
tions to provide neces-
sary healthcare support.
Sharma said public

actively involved in the
Games and directed that
national and international
players from Rajasthan
be specially invited.

paigns.
He said nearly 50,000

Court rejects
anticipatory bail of
accused in Diya
extortion case
First India Bureau
Jaipur
The Jaipur Sessions
Court has rejected the an-
ticipatory bail pleas of
accused Anand Pandey,
Harish Divekar and
Jinesh Jain
in a case
where they
allegedly
tried to
blackmail
Rajasthan Deputy Chief
Minister Diya Kumari
with false news and de-
manded Rs 5 crore. With
the court’s denial, the
possibility of arrest now
looms over Pandey and
Divekar. However, sourc-
es said the accused may
move the High Court to
challenge the decision.
The development has
reignited key questions
about whether the police
will now arrest the ac-
cused and why the jour-
nalists were earlier
brought from Bhopal to
Jaipur but released with-
out formal arrest.

n a country where
cricket is not
merely a game —
it’s a religion —
the Indian Wom-
en’s Cricket Team has been a
force to reckon with, inspiring
millions with their passion, te-
nacity, and God-given talent.
Women’s cricket in India has
seen a radical change
over the past decade —
from being overshad-
owed by its patriar-
chal version to gain-
ing international ac-
claim, deafening ap-
plause, and the admi-
ration of a whole
nation.
This revolution
did not take place
overnight. It was
created by years of
perseverance, grit, and faith.
Motivated by generations of
fearless and daring cricketers
like Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti
Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, and
Shafali Verma, the squad has re-
defined wearing the Indian jer-
sey. Their on-field performances
have not just earned laurels but
shattered centuries-old social
stigmas about women in sports.
The turning point, however,
arrived in 2017, when India
played their first ICC Women’s
World Cup final. Although the
team came short of bringing
home the trophy, they gained
something much bigger — the
hearts of cricket lovers world-
wide. Harmanpreet Kaur’s his-
toric 171-run knock vs. Austral-
ia in the semi-final was a mo-
ment that became etched in the
history of Indian sports, marking
the beginning of a new era for
ladies’ cricket.
Ever since, the journey
of the team has been
nothing less than spec-
tacular. From dominat-
ing showings
in T20
World Cups to
record Test wins,
they have kept
setting new
standards and
breaking new
grounds. The
launch of the
Women’s Premier
League (WPL) fur-
ther changed the face
of the game, providing a
big stage for budding and up-
and-coming cricketers
to shine on the same platform as
international talents. The league
has not only amplified viewer-
ship but has also created profes-
sional opportunities for count-
less aspiring players across the
country.
Backing from the Board of
Control for Cricket in India
(BCCI) played an instrumental
role in this development. The
announcement to implement
equal match fees for male and
female cricketers was a historic
move towards gender parity in
Indian sports. Not only does this
gesture acknowledge the sig-
nificant contribution of female
athletes, but it also promotes
more girls to take up cricket as a
profession.
What really distinguishes the
Indian Women’s Team is their
unflinching team spirit. No mat-
ter confronting Australia’s fero-
cious pace attack or England’s
application-driven bowling, the
players show grit, poise, and a
refusal to believe that they don’t
belong at the world level of
cricket. Their cohesion,
bravery, and fair play in-
dicate a new era — one
where Indian women play
boldly, not for approval, but for
victory.
The current era has made fe-
male cricketers household
names. From chants in the stadi-
ums to social media admiration,
the adoration they receive is
rightly so. As young girls
throughout India now hold a bat
or ball, they do so with aspira-
tions fueled by their blue heroes.
The message is clear and loud
— Indian cricket’s future is not
only bright; it’s balanncingly
brilliant. The Indian Women’s
Cricket Team has not only re-
written record books; they have
rewritten history.

cricket is not

it’s a religion —
the Indian Wom-

force to reckon with, inspiring
millions with their passion, te-
nacity, and God-given talent.
Women’s cricket in India has
seen a radical change
over the past decade —
from being overshad-
