CISF emerges as key enforcement agency in crackdown on coal mafia

Published by Webster

India’s coal sector has received a significant boost following legal reforms that have expanded the powers of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in tackling coal theft and illegal mining activities. Coal remains a critical resource for the country’s energy and industrial needs. However, organised criminal networks involved in illegal coal extraction and smuggling have long posed a challenge to both the government and public sector mining companies.

Strike at paper leak mafia, not students: Rahul Gandhi to PM Modi on Telegram curbs

Published by Parlour News

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (June 17, 2026) slammed the government after it temporarily restricted access to Telegram, saying the “new trick” was akin to putting a lock on the victim’s house instead of catching the thief. Telegram has stopped working for existing users in India after the Centre temporarily restricted access to the messaging app ahead of the June 21 NEET-UG re-examination, but it continues to remain operational through the Virtual Protocol Network (VPN). Google delisted the app on Tuesday (June 16, 2026), and Apple’s Appstore has also removed it now in compliance with the government order to block access to the app. In a post in Hindi on X, Mr. Gandhi said, “Telegram Ban — Modi government’s new trick to stop paper leaks. Meaning, instead of catching the thief, just put a lock on the victim’s door.” “Lakhs of students have been studying on Telegram for years — notes, test series, discussions, preparation. How does snatching that facility become the solution to paper leaks? And it’s not even foolproof – every student …

Absolutely intolerable, will try to comeback with 0/1????!!” At the time, Niemann was playing Titled Tuesday, a weekly prize event hosted by Chess.com. He claimed he had been unfairly given zero points through no fault of his own. The “proctor” he …

2 min readBengaluruUpdated: Apr 6, 2026 06:55 PM IST The row over the Karnataka Government adopting grading for Hindi and other third-language papers in Class 10 intensified on Monday, with the pro-Kannada Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) demanding Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s “immediate removal” from the state for urging a review of the decision. Gehlot has written to Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh asking the Government to re-examine its decision to shift from marks to a grading system for the third-languages papers. The organisation protested in Bengaluru alleging that the governor’s letter was part of a “conspiracy to impose Hindi permanently in Karnataka”. KRV president T A Narayan Gowda said the governor appeared to be working in favour of a “Hindi mafia”. “We demand the immediate removal of the governor from the state,” he said while addressing the demonstration. The KRV also condemned the “haste” with which the governor responded to a letter from an “unknown organisation” called the Association of Preservation of Local Languages, which objected to the Government’s decision. Gehlot wrote to the chief secretary based …
