Aman Arora Woos UAE Investors at Dubai Summit; Assures Seamless Clearances, Robust Infra & Full Support

Punjab News

In a major outreach to attract global capital and boost industrial development as envisioned by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Punjab Industries and Commerce Minister Mr Aman Arora on Monday met H.E. Abdulla Ahmed Al Suwaidi, Secretary General of the UAE International Investment Council (UAEIIC), on the sidelines of the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) in Dubai to discuss expansive opportunities for mobilising investments into the state.

During the the meeting, the Industries Minister discussed with H.E. Abdulla Ahmed Al Suwaidi about Punjab’s vast economic potential and invited UAE investors to tap into high-growth sectors through government, semi-government and private sector partnerships.

Reiterating the state government’s resolve, Mr Aman Arora assured the UAEIIC of complete administrative support, handholding and logistical facilitation from the Punjab Government for global enterprises seeking to set up or expand operations in the state. He emphasised that under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Punjab is keen to build long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships with UAE-based investors and institutional funds.

Highlighting the state’s investor-centric reforms, the Minister underscored the ease of doing business facilitated through ‘Invest Punjab’—the state’s unified single-window platform that delivers prompt statutory approvals and clearances to ensure a smooth, hassle-free investment journey.

“Punjab offers a highly conducive entrepreneurial ecosystem, excellent multimodal connectivity, skilled technical manpower, and a transparent governance framework. We invite UAE business leaders to become active partners in Punjab’s transformative economic growth story,” Mr Aman Arora said.

The UAE International Investment Council (UAEIIC), which unites the UAE’s public and private entities to channel outward foreign direct investment (FDI), welcomed the state delegation’s proactive outreach. The engagement focused on establishing robust institutional linkages to enable direct capital inflows and joint ventures between the UAE and Punjab.

Expressing confidence in the discussions, Mr Aman Arora noted that this engagement marks a significant milestone that will pave the way for deeper bilateral economic cooperation, stronger business ties and substantial investment pipelines in Punjab.

Punjab Farmers Call Off Chandigarh-Mohali Border Stir After Written Assurance From Bhagwant Mann Govt

Gurmeet Singh Khudian

Following a written assurance from the Bhagwant Mann Government accepting the core demands of the agitating farmer unions, farmers protesting at the Chandigarh-Mohali border called off their stir on Monday evening. The formal written assurance was handed over to the farmer representatives by Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian.

As per the written agreement, the Punjab Punjab Government will convene a special session of the Vidhan Sabha within a month to pass resolutions on key issues and forward them to the Centre. These include seeking reconsideration of decades-old unconstitutional water-sharing agreements, repeal of Sections 78, 79 and 80 of the Punjab Reorganisation Act to restore the State’s riparian rights, annulment of the Dam Safety Act and withdrawal of the Seed Bill, 2025.

Reaffirming the Bhagwant Government’s firm commitment to the welfare of farmers, Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian said that the Punjab Government believes in resolving issues through dialogue and mutual understanding. “The Bhagwant Mann Government is fully committed to the welfare of our annadatas. We believe in resolving issues through dialogue and have accepted their genuine demands with full transparency in writing,” he said.

To ease the financial burden on farmers, the Agriculture Minister also announced that an One-Time Settlement (OTS) policy will be formulated for outstanding loans, particularly those availed from cooperative banks, including the Punjab State Cooperative Bank and cooperative societies. “A committee will be constituted in consultation with all political parties to formulate the OTS policy, which will be instrumental in clearing the debt burden of farmers,” he said.

On the issue of sugarcane pricing, Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian asserted that Punjab will continue to provide the highest sugarcane price in the country. He said directions had been issued to put up the file for fixing the sugarcane price on Monday itself, ensuring that the process is initiated without delay.

The Agriculture Minister further said that the Government will ensure time-bound clearance of pending dues of farmers from private sugar mills. “The ‘One Window, One Payment’ system, presently applicable to cooperative mills, will be extended to private mills as well,” he said.

For the remaining demands of the farmer unions, Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian assured that a joint committee comprising senior officers of the Punjab Government and representatives nominated by the farmer unions will be constituted. The committee will examine the outstanding matters and work towards resolving them expeditiously.

The West Bengal government has announced a series of new regulations for the upcoming Durga Puja celebrations, including a ban on the sale of liquor on Maha Ashtami. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said liquor shops and bars across the state will remain closed on the day.


The government has also prohibited the use of DJ music and loud music systems during immersion processions, citing the need to maintain order and preserve the traditional character of the festival.


Suvendu Adhikari: Liquor Sale Banned on Maha Ashtami


Announcing the new guidelines at a coordination meeting with Durga Puja committees in Kolkata, Adhikari said there would be a complete ban on liquor sales across West Bengal on Maha Ashtami.


The restriction will apply to liquor shops and bars, making the festival’s eighth day a designated dry day across the state.


DJ Music Prohibited


The government has also decided to prohibit DJ music during Durga Puja-related processions, particularly during idol immersion. The move is aimed at reducing noise and ensuring that celebrations do not cause unnecessary disruption to residents and traffic.
Officials have also issued guidelines concerning immersion arrangements and the use of roads during the festival.


Suvendu Adhikari Issues Appeal to Puja Committees


Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari urged Puja committees to ensure that their pandals, idols and themes do not hurt religious sentiments or disrespect Sanatan traditions.
The government has also introduced other changes for this year’s Durga Puja, including restrictions on blocking roads for celebrations and changes to the traditional Durga Puja Carnival arrangements.

Satya Niketan Building Collapse: 5 MCD Officials Suspended, PG Owner Arrested as Delhi Toll Rises to 7

Satya- Niketan- Building- Collapse

Satya Niketan Building Collapse: The Delhi government has taken strict action following the collapse of a five-storey paying guest (PG) accommodation in Satya Niketan, near Delhi University’s South Campus, that claimed at least seven lives. Five Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials have been suspended, while the owner of the building, Hariram Gupta, has been arrested.


The building collapsed at around 1:30 pm on Sunday while construction work was reportedly underway in its basement. Several people, including students, were trapped under the debris, triggering a major rescue operation involving multiple agencies.


Five MCD Officials Suspended


The MCD suspended five officials from its South Zone with immediate effect, pending disciplinary proceedings. Those suspended include the Deputy Commissioner, Superintending Engineer, Executive Engineer (Building), Assistant Engineer (Building) and Junior Engineer (Building).


The action came amid questions over alleged lapses in monitoring and enforcement against unauthorised construction. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that anyone found responsible for the tragedy would face strict action. The government has also ordered the immediate sealing of illegal structures with unauthorised additional floors across Delhi.


PG Owner Arrested


Police arrested building owner Hariram Gupta, who had reportedly been absconding after the collapse. An investigation is underway to determine the circumstances that led to the structural failure and establish individual responsibility.


The collapsed property, identified as P-14 in Satya Niketan, reportedly had a basement and multiple floors. Officials said there was no sanctioned building plan available for the structure and that basement construction was unauthorised.


Students Among Those Affected


Satya Niketan is a major student residential hub because of its proximity to Delhi University’s South Campus. The collapsed PG housed students associated with colleges including Sri Venkateswara College, Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College and Motilal Nehru College.

Harpal Cheema Lays Foundation Stone for New Block Samiti Building in Chhajli: Bhagwant Mann

Punjab Cabinet Minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Sunday laid the foundation stone for a new Block Samiti building at Chhajli village in the Dirba Assembly constituency.

Harpal Cheema Lays Foundation Stone

According to the Aam Aadmi Party’s Punjab unit, the new building will be constructed at an estimated cost of ₹2 crore and will be equipped with various facilities to provide a better working environment and improve administrative services in the area.

The foundation stone ceremony marked the beginning of the construction project, which is aimed at strengthening local administrative infrastructure in the Dirba constituency.

New Block Samiti Building in Chhajli: Bhagwant Mann

The proposed Block Samiti building is expected to provide dedicated facilities for local administrative and development-related activities. The project is part of ongoing efforts to improve public infrastructure and strengthen facilities at the grassroots level.

AAP Punjab said that the local Nagar Panchayats expressed their appreciation to the Mann government for undertaking the project and welcomed the planned development in the area.

The new facility is expected to benefit local representatives and residents by providing improved infrastructure for administrative work and coordination related to development activities.

The project also highlights the state government’s focus on upgrading public infrastructure beyond major urban centres and improving facilities available at the local level.

With the foundation stone now laid, construction of the ₹2-crore facility is set to move forward, according to the party’s statement.

Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana Gives 560 Diabetic Foot Patients Chance To Save Their Limbs

CM Mann

The wound may have looked small.

The danger was anything but small.

For a person living with diabetes, a cut on the foot can slowly turn into a medical emergency. Nerve damage can dull pain, making injuries easy to miss. Poor circulation can slow healing, while infection can spread into deeper tissues and, in severe cases, threaten the limb itself. For hundreds of patients in Punjab, Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana (MMSY) became the safety net when a diabetic foot problem escalated into a fight for recovery.

At 47, Harcharan Singh was battling advanced diabetic foot disease. Nerve damage had reduced his ability to detect injury, while infection had spread into deeper tissues. Doctors performed surgical debridement to remove infected and dead tissue and give the foot a chance to heal.

Raja, 38, faced a similar danger. A wound he could barely feel because of diabetic nerve damage developed into a serious infection, with the risk of it reaching the bone. Timely surgery became necessary.

For another beneficiary, Veena, 57, poor circulation made healing difficult. Her ulcer progressed to the point where the foot was at risk of amputation. Surgery was required to remove infected tissue.

Then there is Santokh Singh, 67, who developed a non-healing diabetic foot ulcer with pus formation. Surgical intervention was needed to drain the infection and remove the affected tissue.

Four patients. Four different journeys. One frightening possibility: losing a limb.

But timely treatment gave all four a crucial chance to fight the infection and protect their limbs.

Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Balbir Singh said, “Behind every statistic under Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana is a human life—a father, a mother, a son or a daughter whose family is hoping for one more chance. Diabetic foot complications can progress silently and, if treatment is delayed, can threaten mobility and even the limb itself. Our priority is to ensure that no family in Punjab has to choose between seeking timely treatment and worrying about whether they can afford it.”

Dr Balbir Singh added that Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana is designed to ensure that when a patient reaches the hospital, the focus remains on saving the patient, not on the family’s ability to pay.

“The success of Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana should not be measured only in the number of treatments or the amount spent, but in what those treatments make possible—a patient returning home, a family spared financial distress and, in cases such as diabetic foot disease, a limb that can still be saved. That is the purpose of a people-centred healthcare system: to stand with families when they need it most,” said Dr Balbir Singh.

The latest State Health Agency data shows that 560 patients received treatment for diabetic foot and associated complications, with a total expenditure of ₹1.32 crore in the last nearly eight months under the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana. Surgical management accounted for the largest share, covering 126 patients and ₹44.55 lakh in expenditure. Another 123 patients received medical management.

The remaining cases involved prolonged dressing and antibiotic care, toe and foot surgeries, below-knee procedures, skin grafts, imaging such as CT and MRI, blood and platelet transfusions, and treatment of serious associated conditions, including diabetic ketoacidosis, severe sepsis and anaemia.

That is where Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana becomes more than a policy on paper. For these patients, it meant treatment could begin without the immediate burden of an unaffordable hospital bill becoming another emergency.

Anurag Dhanda Alleges Inaction Over Building Collapse, Questions Political Connections

Anurag -Dhanda
Google

Aam Aadmi Party leader Anurag Dhanda has raised questions over the alleged lack of action following a building collapse, claiming that political connections may be influencing the response to such incidents.

Anurag Dhanda Alleges Inaction Over Building Collapse

In a post on social media, Dhanda alleged that people were claiming that the brother of a BJP MLA was involved in “brokerage” activities and questioned why no action was being taken even when building collapses allegedly result in deaths.

Questions Political Connections

Dhanda used the allegation to question the accountability of authorities and the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms in cases involving unsafe buildings and construction-related violations.

He suggested that incidents resulting in loss of life should prompt immediate investigation and accountability, regardless of the political affiliations or connections of individuals allegedly involved.

The AAP leader’s remarks have brought attention to concerns surrounding building safety, regulatory enforcement and political accountability. However, the allegations made in the post have not been independently established based on the statement itself.

The issue also raises broader questions about whether authorities are taking adequate preventive measures to identify structurally unsafe buildings and enforce construction and safety regulations before accidents occur.

Dhanda’s comments are likely to add to the political debate over accountability and alleged influence in administrative action, particularly in cases where building collapses lead to casualties.

Bhagwant Mann Says Canal Water Supply Is Giving Fresh Momentum to Punjab Agriculture

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has highlighted the increasing flow of canal water into agricultural fields, saying the development is providing fresh momentum to farming across the state.

Bhagwant Mann Says Canal Water Supply Is Giving Fresh Momentum

Mann said water reaching farms through distributaries, minor canals and smaller irrigation channels is helping strengthen the state’s agricultural system and improve access to canal irrigation for farmers.

Fresh Momentum to Punjab Agriculture

According to Mann, nearly 40,000 cusecs of water is currently flowing through the canal network. He described the figure not merely as a statistic but as an indication of development and the government’s efforts to expand irrigation facilities.

The Chief Minister said the availability of canal water is helping bring agricultural land under a more reliable irrigation system. Greater dependence on canal irrigation can also play an important role in supporting sustainable water management in Punjab, where groundwater depletion has remained a major concern.

Mann presented the expansion and utilisation of the canal network as part of the state government’s broader development agenda. He said the process of strengthening Punjab’s agricultural infrastructure would continue.

The Chief Minister also described the ongoing efforts as a “development revolution”, signalling that his government intends to continue focusing on irrigation and other measures aimed at supporting the farming sector.

The emphasis on canal irrigation comes at a time when efficient water management has become increasingly important for Punjab’s agriculture. Expanding surface-water irrigation can help diversify the state’s water sources and potentially reduce pressure on groundwater resources.

Bhagwant Mann arrested 76 alleged drug smugglers as part of its ongoing crackdown against drug trafficking and narcotics networks across the state.

Bhagwant Mann Arrest 76 Drug Smugglers in Anti-Drug Crackdown

According to the Punjab Police, the arrests were made during its sustained anti-drug campaign, with authorities targeting individuals involved in the supply and distribution of illegal substances.

Police said they recovered 967 grams of heroin, 300 grams of opium, 7,361 intoxicant pills and ₹2,650 in suspected drug money from the arrested individuals.

Recover Heroin and Intoxicants

The latest action forms part of the state police’s continued efforts to disrupt drug networks and curb the availability of narcotic substances. The authorities have been carrying out enforcement operations against suspected drug smugglers as part of the wider anti-drug campaign.

Alongside enforcement measures, Punjab Police also focused on rehabilitation and de-addiction. Sixteen individuals were counselled and persuaded to undergo de-addiction and rehabilitation treatment, according to the police.

The police said that combining strict action against drug trafficking with rehabilitation efforts is an important part of addressing the wider challenge of drug abuse.

The crackdown comes under the Punjab Police’s ongoing #YudhNashianVirudh campaign, which focuses on action against drug-related activities while encouraging affected individuals to seek treatment and rehabilitation.

Punjab Police said it would continue its efforts against drug networks and work towards making the state safer and reducing the impact of narcotics on communities.

UP CM Yogi Adityanath Government Highlights Modern Education Facilities at PM Shri School in Sambhal

The government has maintained that strengthening school infrastructure and creating a conducive learning environment are important steps towards improving educational outcomes for children across Uttar Pradesh.

Bhagwant Mann Says Punjab’s Constitutional Rights Will Not Be Compromised

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has strongly opposed what he described as the Centre’s interference in matters concerning Punjab’s constitutional rights and the functioning of the judiciary.

Bhagwant Mann Says Punjab’s Constitutional Rights 

In a statement, Mann said Punjab would not tolerate any move that could undermine the state’s constitutional rights. He maintained that protecting the interests of Punjab remains a priority for his government.

Constitutional Rights Will Not Be Compromised

Mann alleged that the Centre’s involvement in judicial matters was a matter of serious concern and said his government had consistently opposed such interference. He asserted that constitutional institutions must function within their respective spheres and that the rights granted to states under the Constitution should be protected.

The Chief Minister also appealed to the people of Punjab to remain united on issues concerning the state’s rights and interests. He said that unity was essential to ensure that Punjab’s constitutional and democratic interests were adequately protected.

Mann further said that his government would continue to raise issues affecting Punjab at every appropriate forum. He reiterated that the state would not step back from defending its legitimate rights and interests.

The remarks reflect the broader political debate in Punjab over Centre-state relations and the balance of powers between the Union and state governments. Issues involving constitutional institutions, governance and the rights of states have frequently remained subjects of political discussion.

The Punjab government has maintained that matters affecting the state should be addressed while respecting the constitutional framework and the federal structure of the country.

Mann said his government would continue to remain at the forefront of efforts aimed at protecting Punjab’s interests. He urged Punjabis to stand together on matters that directly affect the state’s constitutional position.

Admissions At Punjab Govt De-Addiction Centres Rise 164% In One Year

Dr Balbir Singh

The consistent rise in admissions at the Bhagwant Mann Government’s de-addiction and rehabilitation centres is a strong indicator of the growing public faith in the state’s treatment infrastructure as part of the ‘Yudh Nashean Virudh’.

Government de-addiction centres witnessed a steep rise in admissions from 9,577 in 2024 to 25,290 in 2025, an increase of more than 164 per cent. The same trend continued into 2026, with over 14,000 people being admitted to government de-addiction centres by July.

Notably, this rise in the number of admissions is a result of the ‘Yudh Nashean Virudh’ that began in March 2025. This rise is a strong indication that an increasing number of families and individuals are willing to approach the treatment centres rather than letting stigma keep their loved ones or themselves in the darkness of addiction.

The initiative’s growing footprint is particularly important in a state where those battling addiction may have struggled for years before seeking structured help. With treatment and rehabilitation facilities becoming an increasingly visible part of the anti-drug initiative, the emphasis is shifting from merely identifying the problem to actively bringing affected individuals into care and supporting their recovery.

The rehabilitation network has also recorded an equally striking increase. Admissions to government rehabilitation centres rose from 2,644 in 2024 to 8,574 in 2025 — an increase of more than 224 per cent. By July 2026, over 5,800 people had already been admitted, accounting for nearly 68% of the total admissions recorded during 2025.

The expanding reach of treatment is also visible through Punjab’s Outpatient Opioid-Assisted Treatment or OOAT clinic network. New registrations rose from 13,033 in 2024 to 17,702 in 2025, while over 12,500 new patients have registered by August this year.

The numbers point towards a broader treatment ecosystem in which people struggling with substance dependence have multiple avenues to seek assistance — from de-addiction centres and rehabilitation facilities to outpatient treatment.

The state has simultaneously used the rehabilitation provisions available under law. As of August 27, 2026, over 11,000 individuals had been granted immunity under Section 64A of the NDPS Act. The Act gives legal immunity to people suffering from drug addiction or those charged with consumption or possession.

Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Balbir Singh said, “For Punjab, the sharp increase in admissions is proving to be one of the most encouraging indicators of the initiative: people are increasingly stepping forward, families are seeking institutional support and the state’s treatment network is reaching individuals who may otherwise have remained outside the formal system.”

He added, “Yudh Nashean Virudh stands on three pillars: strict enforcement against smugglers, treatment and rehabilitation for the affected, and prevention to protect our children before drugs ever reach them. With treatment and rehabilitation, our effort is to bring people back from addiction, restore families and give those struggling with substance abuse a genuine pathway to recovery.”

‘Bedrock’ or Residual Lab? IN-SPACe Chief Reacts to Growing Employee Concerns Over Privatisation, Check

ISRO
Google

For an organisation that has spent decades building India’s space programme from the ground up, the last few days have brought an unusual bout of anxiety within ISRO’s own ranks. Whispers of privatisation, sparked by remarks from IN-SPACe chairperson Pawan Goenka, have snowballed into a formal protest from nine employee associations demanding clarity on the agency’s future. Now, with both ISRO and Goenka stepping in to calm the storm, the question on everyone’s mind is simple: is ISRO still the bedrock of India’s space ambitions, or is it quietly being nudged into the role of a residual research lab? 

What Sparked The Fear

The associations pointed directly to remarks made by IN-SPACe chairperson Pawan Goenka on August 21, which many employees interpreted as signalling a shrinking role for ISRO. Worries also centred on proposals to transfer production of the SSLV, PSLV and LVM3 vehicles to private players, along with concerns about job security, recruitment freezes and career progression for existing staff.

ISRO And Goenka Push Back

Responding to the growing unrest, ISRO dismissed the speculation as “misinformation,” stating clearly that the organisation would neither be privatised nor see its importance diminished. It reaffirmed its role as India’s principal institution for advanced space research, strategic missions and frontier space capabilities. Goenka echoed this, asserting that ISRO would “remain the bedrock of the Indian space sector” and continue leading frontier research even as private industry takes on a larger commercial role.

A Hybrid Model In The Works

Despite the reassurances, questions remain over how responsibilities will be divided between ISRO, IN-SPACe and private companies going forward. Experts point to a likely hybrid structure, where ISRO retains core R&D and high-priority national missions while commercial activities move to private entities, backed by a clear transition plan, retraining programmes and safeguards for existing employees.
