Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anurag Dhanda has criticized the Central Government and the Delhi Police, alleging that senior party leaders were kept waiting for over an hour at the Parliament Street Police Station without being granted a meeting with officials.

Anurag Dhanda Alleges Delhi Police Ignored AAP Leaders

In a statement shared on social media, Dhanda claimed that two former chief ministers, one Member of Parliament, and two MLAs waited at the police station to meet the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP). He alleged that despite their presence, the officials did not make time to meet them.

AAP leader also accused the Modi government of displaying arrogance

The AAP leader also accused the Modi government of displaying arrogance and questioned the authorities’ handling of an incident involving students. Dhanda alleged that officials who, according to the party, had ample time to act against children the previous day were unavailable for a meeting with elected representatives.

The remarks come amid continuing political exchanges between the Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with both sides frequently accusing each other over administrative decisions and law-and-order issues in the national capital.

The Delhi Police had not publicly responded to Dhanda’s allegations at the time of writing.

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has directed officials to prepare a comprehensive digital record of the state’s forests within one month, marking a major step towards technology-driven forest management and conservation.

Hemant Soren Directs Creation of Jharkhand Digital Forest Record Within a Month

During a high-level review meeting of the Forest, Environment and Climate Change Department, the Chief Minister instructed officials to develop a digital system that would provide real-time information about Jharkhand’s forests with a single click. The platform will include details such as forest area, present condition, historical changes, and other key data to support scientific planning and conservation efforts.

Soren said the state has witnessed significant changes in forest landscapes

Hemant Soren said the state has witnessed significant changes in forest landscapes since its formation. While some areas have seen forest expansion, others have been altered due to mining activities, eco-tourism projects, and infrastructure development. He also noted that the boundaries of wildlife sanctuaries and national parks have changed over time, making an updated digital forest database essential.

The Chief Minister emphasized that forest protection should remain a top priority. He directed the department to prepare an action plan for large-scale plantation drives, scientific removal of dry and unusable trees, and explore the use of helicopters to disperse seeds for expanding forest cover in remote areas.

Soren also stressed the need to increase green cover in urban areas by planting more shade-giving trees. He called for wider awareness of the state government’s “Plant One Tree, Get Five Units of Free Electricity” initiative to encourage public participation in environmental conservation.

The meeting also focused on speeding up the disposal of pending forest land lease (forest patta) cases to ensure eligible beneficiaries receive timely approvals. In addition, the Chief Minister asked officials to identify large tracts of land for commercial cultivation of cashew and bamboo, aiming to boost farmers’ incomes while promoting bamboo-based industries and handicrafts.

India’s most promising sustainability entrepreneurs were honoured at EcoKranti-Shubh Labh 1.0, the Grand Finale of the national sustainability-focused startup movement under the Startup India Bharat Startup Challenge 2026, held at The Art of Living International Center. The two-day summit brought together innovators, investors, policymakers, researchers and industry leaders to accelerate solutions for a greener, more sustainable India.

The initiative received over 900 applications from startups, researchers, institutions and changemakers across the country out of which 26 leaders were selected . Following a rigorous evaluation process, the finalists presented scalable solutions spanning climate technology, circular economy, waste-to-wealth, green manufacturing and sustainable rural development.

The Winner of EcoKranti Shubh Labh 1.0 was ISM ClimaTech, founded by Deepali Jadia and Dr. Harish Jadia, for its technology that converts difficult-to-recycle packaging waste into industrial raw materials, returning them to the manufacturing supply chain. Acala Design and Tech Pvt. Ltd, led by Chetan Patil and Priya, was named First Runner-up, while In Waste Technologies Pvt. Ltd., secured the Second Runner-up position led by Jatin Mittal .

Special honours were presented to ECMT (Best Sustainability Startup), Cocycle Horizon Pvt. Ltd. (Social Impact Award), Banavrit (Best Rural Impact Startup) and Intrinsic Foundries (Best Climate Tech Startup).

Unlike conventional startup competitions, EcoKranti focuses exclusively on sustainability and rural development, recognising enterprises that create measurable environmental and social impact.

“We want to maintain the ethos of our organisation by bringing together people who are here to create change and make an impact, not just earn profits,” said Devang Vora, Director and Trustee, Sri Sri Rural Development Programme (SSRDP).

Alongside investor interactions, mentoring sessions and startup showcases, participants also underwent the Sahaj Samadhi Meditation Program, reflecting The Art of Living’s holistic approach to entrepreneurship.

Shri Arvind Varchaswi, Managing Director, Sri Sri Tattva, highlighted the importance of inner wellbeing in building purpose-driven organisations.

“Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar once said that when you invest in someone in an intangible way, they give back to you many times over… This entire concept of EcoKranti is deeply rooted in the values that Gurudev has always stood for and shared with people around the world.”

For the winning startups, the event offered far more than recognition.

“The conversations we had here have been invaluable, and this initiative promises to support startups not just today but in the years ahead,” said Deepali Jadia, Founder of ISM ClimaTech.

The summit also reflected the growing impact of the EcoKranti movement. Over the past two years, it has reached 10,000 households, helping eliminate nearly 200 tonnes of recurring single-use plastic waste. Over the next two years, the initiative aims to expand to one million households, preventing another 1,000 tonnes of single-use plastic while strengthening India’s circular economy.

“We at EcoKranti firmly believe that change begins at home, and sustainability should start with simple choices,” said Devang Vora.

Jointly organised by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and the Sri Sri Rural Development Programme (SSRDP), EcoKranti is building a nationwide ecosystem that identifies, mentors and scales entrepreneurs creating sustainable solutions for India’s future.

Rules Have Changed! Indus Waters Treaty Enters New Era As India Links Any Revival To Ending Terrorism, Pakistan on Knees?

Indus Waters Treaty: According to India government sources, India will not consider reviving the Indus Waters Treaty in its old form. Any future arrangement would require both a renegotiation of the treaty’s terms and irreversible steps by Pakistan to stop sponsoring terrorism on Indian soil.

Why India Suspended The Treaty and Rejects Arbitration Route

India placed the treaty in abeyance after the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 civilians were killed. New Delhi has repeatedly said the six-decade-old treaty, signed on trust and goodwill, cannot continue while Pakistan sponsors cross-border terrorism, a stance External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and other officials have reiterated on multiple occasions since.

New Delhi has also declared it will not participate in the Court of Arbitration proceedings initiated by Pakistan, calling the process illegal since Pakistan bypassed the treaty’s earlier dispute-resolution steps involving the Indus Commissioners and secretary-level talks. Sources said India does not consider itself bound by any arbitration awards.

Pakistan’s Response on India’s Position At Global Forums

Indus Waters Treaty: Pakistan has repeatedly urged India to resume normal functioning of the treaty, arguing that no country can unilaterally suspend a bilateral pact. Officials there, including PPP leader Bilawal Bhutto, have accused India of using water as a weapon, as the suspension has coincided with a worsening water crisis affecting Pakistan’s agricultural belt.

India has taken its stance to international platforms as well, telling a United Nations event that it was compelled to respond after Pakistan raised the treaty issue at a forum meant to discuss water and gender equality, reiterating that the suspension will hold until Pakistan takes credible, irreversible action against terrorism.

Global Power Clash? US Iran War Reaches Dangerous Milestone As Fresh Military Operations Continue, Check Donald Trump’s Stern Warning

US Iran War: President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on social media, saying that “every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over.” He said the directive had been passed on to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Daniel Caine, and every military leader.

Mounting US Casualties and Strikes Continue

The warning came after the death of three American service members over the weekend, two in Jordan and one in northern Iraq, along with a fourth set of unidentified remains recovered in Jordan. In total, 17 US troops have now died since the war reignited, with a dignified transfer of the fallen scheduled at Dover Air Force Base.

The US launched its tenth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian military command centres, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defence systems. Senior officials say Trump is expected to decide within days whether to widen the campaign into full-scale combat, a move that would be far more intense than the current strikes and could, for the first time, extend toward Tehran and Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Strait Of Hormuz Under Threat

US Iran War: Tensions have spilt into shipping lanes, with vessels struck by projectiles off the coasts of Oman and the UAE, and a tanker set ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz. The British military has urged ships to exercise caution while transiting the route.

The current standoff follows Trump’s announcement of “major combat operations” against Iran in February, and negotiations between the two countries in June that have failed to hold. With preparatory military deployments already underway in the region, the coming days are seen as pivotal in determining whether the conflict escalates into a broader war.

Vande Mataram Bill Takes Centre Stage as Parliament Opens High-Stakes Debate on National Honour

Vande- Mataram- Bill

Vande Mataram Bill: The Vande Mataram Bill seeks to amend the 1971 law that already criminalises disrespect to the national flag, the Constitution and the national anthem, extending the same protection to Vande Mataram. If passed, wilfully insulting the national song or preventing its singing could attract up to three years in prison, a fine, or both.

The Backstory of Vande Mataram Bill

The proposal follows a year-long nationwide commemoration of 150 years of Vande Mataram, written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in 1875 and first published in his novel Anandmath. The Union Cabinet cleared the plan in May, shortly after the celebrations concluded. The song’s legacy had already been debated for ten hours each in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha back in December 2025, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Jawaharlal Nehru of diluting its legacy for what he called appeasement politics.

What is the opposition reaction

The BJP has framed the Bill as a step to strengthen respect for national symbols. The Congress has pushed back, calling it reflective of the government’s “jail first” approach to governance, and pointing to its own freedom fighters who were arrested while chanting the song during the independence movement.

Check the mixed reactions beyond party lines

Reactions have not split neatly along party lines. Some leaders have welcomed the move as overdue recognition for a song tied to the freedom struggle, while others have urged caution, warning that criminal provisions could be misused, and calling for wider consultation with scholars before the law is finalised.

The Vande Mataram Bill passage is expected to be one of several flashpoints of the Monsoon Session, with the Opposition likely to use the moment to also raise other issues, including the NEET paper leak row and the CJP-led protests at Jantar Mantar.

Anurag Kashyap to Bhumi Pednekar, Celebrity Voices Grow Louder as CJP Protest Raises Fresh Questions About Student Rights, Democracy and Public Dissent, Check

What began as a satirical movement mocking a judicial remark has evolved into one of Delhi’s most closely watched protests, and Bollywood’s involvement has pushed it further into the national conversation. 

Anurag Kashyap Leads the Criticism

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap emerged as one of the most vocal celebrity supporters, criticising the establishment’s silence over Wangchuk’s deteriorating condition. Taking to Instagram, Kashyap admitted he lacked the courage to do what Wangchuk was doing, calling him a “brave heart.”

“There was a time when hunger strike had some meaning. It’s really troubling when the system becomes so indifferent to people’s lives….”

Bhumi Pednekar lent her support to the protesting students, asking what these non-violent people — who had come out simply to seek answers about their future education — were even being protested against. 

Shabana Azmi — fell ill while participating at Jantar Mantar; said, “We are here to hold a peaceful protest. This is a right guaranteed by our Constitution. Mahatma Gandhi taught us the path of non-violence. We have no intention of resorting to violence.” She also said her husband Javed Akhtar had written to PM Modi urging dialogue, but never got a substantive reply. 

Riteish Deshmukh — posted in solidarity: “We stand in solidarity with the youth of our country. Their voices deserve to be heard — loud, clear, and without fear.”

Huma Qureshi — condemned the alleged lathi-charge, saying every citizen deserves to be heard.

A Widening List of Film Personalities

Actors such as Zeenat Aman, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Soni Razdan, Abhay Deol, Rubina Dilaik, Swara Bhaskar, Prakash Raj and Omi Vaidya voiced solidarity with Wangchuk as concerns mounted over his health. 

Swara Bhaskar went a step further, visiting Wangchuk in person at Jantar Mantar on July 14, where she thanked him and the CJP for what she described as fighting for the future of children. Prakash Raj also travelled to Delhi to sit with CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke and express solidarity directly. 

From Student Rights to a Larger Democratic Debate

While Wangchuk‘s fast was centred on demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over alleged NEET-UG irregularities, the involvement of high-profile cultural figures reframed the protest as a broader referendum on dissent itself.

CJP Protest: Monday’s ‘Chalo Sansad’ march, called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and backed by activist Sonam Wangchuk, drew massive crowds despite heavy rain and tight security. Protesters attempted to march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament, demanding Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over alleged NEET exam irregularities. Delhi Police reported over 70 detentions during the standoff.

Wangchuk’s Health In Focus

Wangchuk, currently admitted to Safdarjung Hospital after being removed from Jantar Mantar on July 18 as his hunger strike crossed three weeks, has said he will continue fasting until student leaders are allowed to meet either Parliamentarians or him at the hospital. His condition remains a central point of concern going into today.

Dipke And The Government Talks

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, who briefly ended his own hunger strike at Wangchuk’s appeal before rejoining the march, is expected to continue engaging with the Centre. Union Minister JP Nadda has confirmed that CJP proposed talks with the government for the first time, with discussions reportedly ongoing. Confusion around Dipke’s detention status on Monday, later denied by Delhi Police, is also likely to be addressed.

Political Outreach Continues

CJP Protest: Opposition leaders, including Samajwadi Party’s Dimple Yadav, have already visited the protest site in solidarity, and further political engagement is expected today as the standoff over the NEET issue continues to draw national attention.

Today’s agenda hinges on whether the CJP-government dialogue yields any concrete outcome, whether Wangchuk’s demand for student access is met, and how Delhi Police handles the continuing gathering at Jantar Mantar amid prohibitory orders still in place.

Under Yudh Nashean Virudh, Bhagwant Mann Govt Introduces Internationally Accepted Methadone Maintenance Therapy to Strengthen Drug De-Addiction Treatment

By
Harsh
-
Dr Balbir Singh

Punjab has introduced an internationally accepted drug de-addiction treatment known as Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) for people with severe opioid dependence. The introduction of methadone marks a significant step in the state’s treatment-focused approach to tackling drug addiction.

Conventional treatment has largely relied on Buprenorphine-based Opioid Substitution Therapy through the state’s more than 500 OOAT centres, which involves replacing harmful opioids with regulated medication to treat addiction, and abstinence-based rehabilitation. The introduction of MMT provides an additional treatment option for patients with long-term opioid dependence who have not responded adequately to existing therapies.

Six dedicated methadone clinics are now operational across Punjab at Government Medical College, Faridkot; Civil Hospital, Ludhiana; Government Medical College, Patiala; and district hospitals in Gurdaspur, Mohali and Jalandhar. The state also plans to establish six more MMT centres in the coming months, taking the total number of dedicated facilities to 12.

On this, Punjab Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. Balbir Singh said the expansion of methadone facilities is part of the state’s anti-drug campaign, Yudh Nashean Virudh, which places a strong emphasis on rehabilitation, particularly for people with opioid dependence who are at a high risk of relapse. “Methadone Maintenance Therapy, implemented in accordance with the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), provides an effective treatment option for people with long-term opioid dependence. The comprehensive approach would improve recovery outcomes and help patients successfully reintegrate with their families and society,” he added.

The newly established clinics will function as specialised outpatient facilities where patients will receive supervised methadone therapy along with psychological counselling, psychiatric consultation, relapse prevention services, family counselling and regular follow-up.

Patients will have to visit the clinic daily to receive their prescribed dose under medical supervision. The daily doses are administered under medical supervision to prevent misuse and ensure adherence to treatment.

What is Methadone Therapy?

Methadone is an evidence-based treatment for people with opioid use disorder, like those addicted to heroin. Methadone is included in the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential Medicines for treatment of opioid use disorders. It is prescribed and administered under the supervision of trained medical professionals as part of a comprehensive treatment programme.

Methadone works by binding with the same opioid receptors in the brain as heroin and other opioids. Depending on the prescribed dose, it controls cravings, prevents withdrawal symptoms, and produces opioid tolerance which stops one from getting an opioid-related ‘high’. This enables patients to stabilise their health and engage more effectively in treatment, work, and family life.

Over time, the methadone dose may be tapered based on clinical assessment and recovery goals. Since the patients ingest the medicine daily at a clinic under supervision, the risk of diversion or misuse of the dose is substantially low as compared to take-home prescriptions.

Because methadone is a long-acting medication, a single daily dose is usually sufficient to control withdrawal symptoms and cravings for approximately 24 hours, helping patients maintain stability throughout the day.
