CM Nayab Singh Saini Highlights Triple Engine Government’s Commitment to Public Welfare at Ladwa Event

Ladwa, : Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of both the central and state governments to ensure holistic development and welfare for every citizen. Speaking at a public gathering held at a private venue in Ladwa late on Wednesday evening, CM Saini emphasized that the government is working 24/7 with the aim of addressing the concerns of even the most marginalized members of society through well-planned public welfare schemes.

Prior to his address, CM Saini, along with Member of Parliament Naveen Jindal and former Minister of State Subhash Sudha, paid floral tributes to an image of Bharat Mata and inaugurated the event by lighting the ceremonial lamp. The Chief Minister engaged directly with local residents and party workers during the event, attentively listening to their issues and assuring them that each concern raised would be addressed promptly and efficiently.

Highlighting the role of governance at the grassroots level, CM Saini presented a comprehensive overview of various central and state schemes aimed at social upliftment and economic empowerment. He stressed that every party worker bears a key responsibility to ensure the benefits of these schemes reach the last mile — the most underprivileged citizens. Saini praised the dedication of party workers in building the “Triple Engine” government (referring to the synergy between central, state, and organizational efforts), and called upon them to now ensure that the fruits of development are equally and swiftly delivered to the people.

CM Saini also made a major announcement regarding the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Haryana on April 14, the birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. He stated that during the event, the Prime Minister will unveil several significant development projects, including the inauguration of the Hisar Airport and the foundation stone laying of an 800 MW thermal power plant in Yamunanagar, among other welfare initiatives amounting to crores of rupees.

The Chief Minister reiterated the government’s core philosophy of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” (Together with all, Development for all) and “Haryana Ek, Haryanvi Ek” (One Haryana, One People), underscoring the administration’s resolve to accelerate development at three times the previous pace under the Triple Engine model. He informed that a strategic framework has already been devised for the implementation of both small- and large-scale development projects across all constituencies of the state.

In line with the goal of responsive governance, CM Saini noted that two grievance redressal camps are now being organized every week at the district and sub-divisional levels. This initiative aims to resolve public issues locally, eliminating the need for citizens to travel to Chandigarh to get their problems addressed.

MP Naveen Jindal, who was also present at the event, echoed the Chief Minister’s sentiments and highlighted the importance of connecting government policies directly to the people for maximum impact. The event saw enthusiastic participation from local residents and party functionaries, who expressed appreciation for the government’s proactive outreach and commitment to inclusive development.

जलियांवाला बाग से गूंजा नशामुक्त पंजाब का संकल्प: राज्यपाल गुलाब चंद कटारिया का जनआंदोलन में बदलता जागरूकता मार्च

अमृतसर, ( कुमार सोनी ) : पंजाब में नशे के खिलाफ चलाए जा रहे जन-जागरण अभियान को आज एक नई ऊर्जा तब मिली जब राज्यपाल गुलाब चंद कटारिया के नेतृत्व में शुरू हुआ नशा विरोधी मार्च डेरा बाबा नानक से यात्रा करते हुए ऐतिहासिक स्थल जलियांवाला बाग पहुंचा और एक जनआंदोलन का स्वरूप लेता दिखा। इस पदयात्रा का समापन सिर्फ एक रस्मी समारोह नहीं था, बल्कि यह एक सामाजिक आंदोलन के रूप में सामने आया जिसमें आमजन, विद्यार्थी, किसान, पंचायतें, व्यापारी, खिलाड़ी, प्रशासनिक अधिकारी और राजनेता एकजुट नजर आए।

जलियांवाला बाग की उस धरती से, जो देशभक्तों के लहू से रंगी है, राज्यपाल कटारिया ने पंजाब की जनता को भावनात्मक और सशक्त संदेश देते हुए कहा कि जिस पंजाब ने देश और धर्म की रक्षा में सबसे अधिक बलिदान दिए, वहां नशे जैसी कुरीति के लिए कोई स्थान नहीं हो सकता। उन्होंने कहा कि यह महज एक सरकारी अभियान नहीं बल्कि जन-जन का संघर्ष होना चाहिए, तभी नशे जैसी सामाजिक बीमारी का समूल नाश संभव है।

राज्यपाल ने नशे के विरुद्ध जनांदोलन का आह्वान करते हुए कहा कि जब तक समाज स्वयं खड़ा नहीं होता, तब तक सरकारें या प्रशासन अकेले इस चुनौती से नहीं निपट सकते। उन्होंने मंच से मौजूद विभिन्न राजनीतिक दलों के नेताओं से अपील की कि वे नशे के मुद्दे पर राजनीति से ऊपर उठकर एकजुट हों और ईमानदारी से इस सामाजिक संकट का समाधान खोजें।

इस जागरूकता यात्रा की शुरुआत राज्यपाल ने सुबह 4 बजे श्री दरबार साहिब में माथा टेकने के साथ की, जहां उन्होंने पंजाब को नशामुक्त बनाने की प्रार्थना की और पालकी साहिब की सेवा में भी भाग लिया। इसके पश्चात उन्होंने भंडारी ब्रिज से पैदल मार्च आरंभ किया, जो हॉल बाजार से होते हुए जलियांवाला बाग में समाप्त हुआ। इस पूरी यात्रा के दौरान उन्होंने लोगों से प्रत्यक्ष संवाद करते हुए नशे के खिलाफ खड़े होने की प्रेरणा दी।

उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि राज्य के सीमावर्ती क्षेत्रों में कार्यरत ग्रामीण रक्षा समितियों को, जो मादक पदार्थों की तस्करी को रोकने में अहम भूमिका निभा रही हैं, उनके प्रदर्शन के आधार पर अधिक संसाधन और विकास निधि दी जानी चाहिए ताकि उनका मनोबल और सहयोग दोनों बढ़े।

राज्यपाल गुलाब चंद कटारिया ने इस पदयात्रा में सक्रिय रूप से सहयोग करने वाले स्कूली बच्चों, शिक्षकों, पंचायती प्रतिनिधियों, व्यापारिक वर्ग, खिलाड़ियों, सामाजिक संगठनों, पुलिस प्रशासन, जिला प्रशासन और मीडिया का विशेष रूप से आभार प्रकट किया। उन्होंने यह भी स्पष्ट किया कि यह अभियान सिर्फ एक समापन बिंदु पर नहीं रुकने वाला, बल्कि वे इसे लगातार आगे बढ़ाते रहेंगे और हर स्तर पर लोगों को जोड़ते रहेंगे।

इस पदयात्रा के समापन अवसर पर केंद्रीय राज्य मंत्री रवनीत सिंह बिट्टू, राज्यसभा सांसद विक्रमजीत सिंह साहनी, वरिष्ठ नेता सुनील जाखड़, प्रमुख सचिव विवेक प्रताप सिंह, पुलिस कमिश्नर गुरप्रीत सिंह भुल्लर, डिप्टी कमिश्नर साक्षी साहनी, पूर्व मंत्री गुरमीत सिंह राणा सोढ़ी, जलियांवाला बाग के सचिव मुखर्जी, प्रसिद्ध लेखक खुशवंत सिंह सहित कई अन्य प्रमुख हस्तियां मौजूद रहीं।

राज्यपाल ने अंत में दोहराया कि यह सिर्फ एक यात्रा नहीं, बल्कि एक मिशन है जिसे वे तब तक नहीं छोड़ेंगे जब तक पंजाब को नशामुक्त न बना दें। यह पहल अब केवल राज्यपाल की नहीं, बल्कि हर उस पंजाबवासी की जिम्मेदारी बन चुकी है जो अपने राज्य को फिर से उसी वीरता और संस्कारों वाले पंजाब के रूप में देखना चाहता है।

CM Nayab Singh Saini Defends Power Sector Reforms, Slams Opposition for Misleading Public

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini strongly criticized the opposition, especially former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala, for their misleading statements on electricity bills and power sector management. Addressing a press conference in Hisar, CM Saini reminded the public of the poor power infrastructure under Congress rule and presented a data-backed comparison showcasing significant improvements made by the current BJP-led government.

CM Saini recalled the situation when Hooda served as Chief Minister and Surjewala held the Power Ministry portfolio, asserting that during their tenure, the state suffered from frequent power cuts in urban and rural areas alike. In contrast, he highlighted that the present administration has fulfilled its promise of providing 24-hour electricity while also reducing the financial burden on consumers.

Presenting a detailed comparative analysis, Saini shared the electricity bill data from 2013-14 under the Congress regime, where consumers were charged ₹200 for up to 25 units, ₹200 for up to 50 units, ₹378 for up to 100 units, ₹603 for 150 units, ₹828 for 200 units, ₹1053 for 250 units, and ₹1316 for 300 units of electricity consumption. Under the current government in 2025-26, these charges have been significantly reduced to ₹55, ₹110, ₹245, ₹443, ₹705, ₹968, and ₹1230 respectively for the same consumption slabs.

CM Saini urged Hooda and Surjewala to address the public with verified facts and avoid misleading narratives. He challenged them to engage in open discussions based on data rather than spreading disinformation. He emphasized that the current administration not only improved power supply but also ensured that consumers were not burdened with inflated electricity bills. He added that the debt incurred by electricity companies during Congress rule has been significantly reduced and is expected to become zero by 2027.

Highlighting the central government’s efforts, CM Saini mentioned that under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana, over 15,000 households have been equipped with rooftop solar panels. He encouraged residents with up to 2 kW electricity connections to adopt solar energy, stating that their electricity bills would effectively become zero.

Looking forward to future developments, CM Saini announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Haryana on April 14 to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for two major infrastructure projects. The first is an 800 MW supercritical unit in Yamunanagar costing ₹7272 crore, which is slated for completion by the end of 2028. The second major announcement is the inauguration of domestic flight operations from Maharaja Agrasen Airport in Hisar, including a terminal building, which will serve parts of Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan.

He further informed that flights will initially operate twice a week from Hisar to Ayodhya, with potential expansions based on passenger demand. The first booking window for these flights was open for two hours, and all seats were filled within that time frame.

When asked about security arrangements at the Hisar airport, CM Saini assured that the airport spans 7200 acres with a 2000-acre perimeter wall, and efforts are ongoing to safely relocate animals from the premises to ensure operational safety.

Addressing the recent political debate around the Wakf Amendment Bill, CM Saini dismissed the Congress criticism as politically motivated. He stated that the bill is in the interest of the Muslim community and all other sections of society. He accused the Congress of rushing such legislation for vote-bank politics, which ultimately led to their poor performance in Haryana municipal elections and repeated failures in Delhi polls.

Outlining future plans, CM Saini revealed that the Ambala airport project is awaiting a few final approvals and that many more large-scale initiatives are in the pipeline. These include the soon-to-be-inaugurated Pt. Deen Dayal Medical University, Pt. Neki Ram Medical College in Bhiwani, and an elevated railway track in Kurukshetra.

To further streamline long-term development planning, he announced the establishment of a new “Department of Future” aimed at crafting a comprehensive 20-year roadmap for Haryana’s growth.

The event was attended by senior dignitaries including Public Works Minister Ranbir Gangwa, BJP State President Mohan Lal Kaushik, MLAs Savitri Jindal and Randhir Panihar, Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, and Director General of Information, Public Relations, Languages & Culture Department Makarand Pandurang.

ISI Link Suspected in Jalandhar Grenade Attack on BJP Leader; Gangster-Terror Nexus Under Scanner

ISI Link Suspected in Jalandhar Grenade Attack on BJP Leader; Gangster-Terror Nexus Under Scanner

The recent grenade attack at the residence of senior BJP leader and former Punjab Cabinet Minister in Jalandhar has once again spotlighted the growing nexus between cross-border terror outfits and organized crime syndicates in India. According to credible sources in the Punjab Police, the attack was orchestrated by Zeeshan Akhtar, a known associate of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Akhtar is also a key suspect in the murder case of a prominent political figure from Maharashtra and is currently on the run.

Police sources have revealed that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is actively involved in a conspiracy to incite communal tension and destabilize Punjab. The attack, allegedly planned from across the border, was part of a larger plot to disturb the state’s religious harmony and trigger fear among political figures and the public alike.

The grenade explosion, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, damaged property at the residence of the BJP leader, including an aluminum partition, glass windows, and nearby vehicles. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, although the BJP leader was present in the house at the time. The timely response from law enforcement helped control the situation, and further investigations were launched immediately.

This incident adds to a concerning trend of similar blasts that have rocked Punjab in recent months. Within the last year alone, the state has witnessed a dozen such explosions, prompting increased scrutiny of the government’s internal security measures. The latest attack has intensified political heat, with Opposition parties strongly criticizing the state’s leadership and questioning its effectiveness in maintaining law and order.

Interestingly, after the attack, a terror outfit known as Babbar Khalsa International claimed responsibility. The claim was made by terrorist Happy Passia, a name that has repeatedly emerged during investigations into several recent bombings. Security officials are now examining the growing evidence suggesting operational collaboration between the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Khalistani extremist groups, and Pakistan’s ISI.

In a significant breakthrough, the Punjab Police have detained the person who allegedly hurled the grenade and have also seized the e-rickshaw used in the execution of the attack. The captured suspect is being interrogated, and authorities are hopeful this will lead to a larger network being exposed and neutralized.

Another figure under the security radar is gangster Jeevan Fauji, believed to have played a role in various attacks, including those targeting police stations in Amritsar. Both he and Happy Passia are thought to be key players in this new wave of hybrid warfare where terrorism is blending with organized crime to carry out localized strikes, especially against law enforcement and political figures.

Security agencies are now intensifying their surveillance and counter-terror operations in border districts and urban centers. The suspected involvement of foreign handlers and radical elements signals a need for tighter inter-agency coordination and robust policy responses to tackle this new security paradigm.

वक्फ बोर्ड कानून में पारदर्शिता से मुसलमानों को होगा लाभ, विपक्ष फैला रहा है भ्रम – इंद्रेश कुमार

अमृतसर ( कुमार सोनी ) राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ की राष्ट्रीय कार्यकारिणी के वरिष्ठ सदस्य इंद्रेश कुमार ने वक्फ बोर्ड कानून को लेकर विपक्षी दलों द्वारा फैलाए जा रहे भ्रम को सिरे से खारिज करते हुए स्पष्ट किया है कि इस कानून से मुसलमानों के अधिकारों पर कोई भी संकट नहीं है, बल्कि इससे उन्हें सशक्त करने की दिशा में एक नया रास्ता खुला है। अमृतसर में मीडिया से बातचीत करते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि देश में लंबे समय से वक्फ बोर्ड में पारदर्शिता का अभाव था, दस्तावेजों की कमी थी और यह संस्था कुछ मजहबी और सियासी माफियाओं का गढ़ बन चुकी थी।

उन्होंने कहा कि वक्फ संपत्तियों का प्रयोग आम मुसलमानों के कल्याण की जगह राजनीतिक स्वार्थ के लिए किया जाता रहा, जिससे ना तो मुसलमानों को योजनाओं का लाभ मिल पाया और ना ही समाज हित में कोई ठोस काम हुआ। अब नए कानून के बाद इस बोर्ड को माफिया नियंत्रण से पूरी तरह मुक्त किया गया है, जिससे मुसलमानों के भीतर एक भयमुक्त माहौल का निर्माण हुआ है।

इंद्रेश कुमार ने कहा कि कांग्रेस सहित कुछ राजनीतिक दलों और मजहबी नेताओं ने मुसलमानों को सिर्फ वोट बैंक समझकर उन्हें भ्रम और भय में रखा। इन दलों ने मुसलमानों को मानसिक रूप से बंधुआ मजदूर बना दिया था, लेकिन अब उन्हें इससे आज़ादी मिल रही है। नए कानून के तहत वक्फ बोर्ड की आमदनी का उपयोग मुसलमानों के लिए कल्याणकारी योजनाएं तैयार करने में होगा, जिससे उनका सीधा सामाजिक और आर्थिक लाभ सुनिश्चित किया जा सकेगा।

उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि जैसे पहले नागरिकता संशोधन कानून (CAA) को लेकर गलत धारणाएं फैलाई गईं, ठीक वैसे ही अब वक्फ कानून को लेकर मुसलमानों को गुमराह किया जा रहा है। उन्होंने दोहराया कि CAA लागू होने के बाद भी आज तक किसी भी मुसलमान से कोई दस्तावेज नहीं मांगे गए और न ही किसी को देश से निकाला गया, इसलिए अब भी जो भ्रम फैलाए जा रहे हैं वे पूरी तरह निराधार हैं।

इंद्रेश कुमार ने विपक्ष पर तीखा प्रहार करते हुए कहा कि जो लोग इस बिल का विरोध कर रहे हैं, वे न केवल मुसलमानों के कल्याण के खिलाफ हैं, बल्कि देश की एकता और अखंडता के भी विरोधी हैं। उन्होंने स्पष्ट किया कि नए कानून से मुसलमानों को पहले से अधिक अधिकार और विकास के अवसर मिलेंगे, जबकि सियासी माफिया और वोट बैंक की राजनीति करने वालों को इसका नुकसान होगा।

पंजाब में नशा मुक्ति और पुनर्वास को लेकर राज्यपाल की मुहिम को मिला सांसद विक्रम साहनी का समर्थन, सीमावर्ती जिलों में खुलेंगे नए कौशल केंद्र

अमृतसर,( कुमार सोनी ): पंजाब में युवाओं को नशे के दुष्चक्र से बाहर निकालने और उन्हें आत्मनिर्भर बनाने की दिशा में एक नई ऊर्जा भरते हुए राज्यपाल गुलाब चंद कटारिया ने ‘युद्ध नशे विरुद्ध’ नामक 8 दिवसीय जनजागरूकता पदयात्रा की शुरुआत की है। यह यात्रा पिछले छह दिनों से राज्य के विभिन्न हिस्सों में युवाओं के बीच नशे के खिलाफ संदेश फैलाने के उद्देश्य से जारी है। इस पहल के तहत राज्यपाल ने अमृतसर स्थित स्वामी विवेकानंद नशा मुक्ति और पुनर्वास केंद्र का दौरा किया और वहां चल रहे कार्यों का गहराई से अवलोकन किया।

यह केंद्र सन फाउंडेशन द्वारा संचालित है और इसका उद्देश्य नशा पीड़ित युवाओं को पुनर्वास के साथ-साथ व्यावसायिक प्रशिक्षण देकर उन्हें रोजगार के काबिल बनाना है। केंद्र में प्लंबिंग, इलेक्ट्रीशियन, कमिस शेफ, कंप्यूटर जैसे क्षेत्रों में प्रशिक्षण प्रदान किया जा रहा है। राज्यपाल ने इन प्रयोगशालाओं का दौरा किया और उन युवाओं से भी संवाद किया, जो अब प्रशिक्षण प्राप्त कर समाज में सम्मानजनक जीवन जी रहे हैं।

राज्यपाल ने कहा कि सिर्फ नशे से छुटकारा दिलाना ही काफी नहीं है, बल्कि युवाओं को एक स्थायी जीवनशैली और आजीविका उपलब्ध कराना भी उतना ही जरूरी है। उन्होंने सन फाउंडेशन के मॉडल को एक प्रभावी सामाजिक हस्तक्षेप बताते हुए कहा कि इस तरह की पहल को पूरे राज्य में लागू किया जाना चाहिए।

राज्यपाल की अपील और विजन से प्रेरित होकर राज्यसभा सांसद और सन फाउंडेशन के अध्यक्ष डॉ. विक्रमजीत सिंह साहनी ने पंजाब के सीमावर्ती जिलों में कई नए कौशल विकास केंद्र खोलने की घोषणा की है। इन केंद्रों के माध्यम से नशे की चपेट में आए युवाओं को न सिर्फ इलाज और परामर्श दिया जाएगा, बल्कि उन्हें स्किल ट्रेनिंग देकर मुख्यधारा में वापस लाने की कोशिश की जाएगी। उनका यह कदम राज्य के उन इलाकों के लिए उम्मीद की किरण साबित हो सकता है, जो लंबे समय से नशे की समस्या से ग्रस्त हैं।

यह पदयात्रा केवल एक औपचारिक पहल नहीं, बल्कि युवाओं के जीवन को बदलने की दिशा में एक ठोस प्रयास है। यह सामाजिक पुनर्निर्माण और चेतना की एक ऐसी लहर है, जो पंजाब को एक नशा मुक्त, सशक्त और समृद्ध भविष्य की ओर ले जाने की क्षमता रखती है।

Himachal Pradesh Government Strengthens Push to Reclaim Control Over Key Power Projects, Eyes BBMB Share and SJVN Assets

Himachal Pradesh Government Strengthens Push to Reclaim Control Over Key Power Projects, Eyes BBMB Share and SJVN Assets

In a decisive move reflecting its assertive energy policy, the Himachal Pradesh government is intensifying its efforts to reclaim control over the state’s vital hydroelectric power assets. After initiating correspondence with the Punjab government regarding its pending share in Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) projects, the state administration has now turned its focus towards hydel projects currently under the development of central public sector entities.

The latest step in this direction is the decision to take over three under-construction hydroelectric power projects originally allotted to a central energy company. These include projects with capacities of 382 MW, 210 MW, and 66 MW, respectively, which had been sanctioned by the previous state government. The decision marks a significant policy shift, emphasizing the present government’s intent to secure greater revenue and control over natural resources developed within its geographical boundaries.

This takeover decision comes in the wake of unsuccessful negotiations to revise the terms and conditions of implementation. The state government has proposed a new framework that includes a phased free power share of 12%, 18%, and 30% across the life cycle of the projects and mandates the return of the projects to the state after a 40-year concession period. The administration argues that these terms are aligned with the state’s long-term vision for energy sustainability and equitable distribution of hydroelectric revenue.

The central company managing these projects, however, has expressed its dissatisfaction with the new terms. The company insists on adhering to the earlier agreements that included significant waivers, such as reduced obligations for free power supply during the initial 12 years and exemption from handing over the projects after four decades. These relaxations, the firm claims, were essential for making the high-cost projects financially viable, bringing the electricity tariff down from an otherwise unmanageable ₹8–8.50 per unit to an acceptable ₹5.50–₹5.75 per unit, which is in line with the Central Government’s investment approval benchmarks.

The state’s firm stance has now paved the way for a potential legal showdown. The central entity has indicated that any scope for a mutual resolution has ended, and the matter will likely be resolved through judicial intervention.

This development is seen as part of the broader strategic shift by the state to reclaim and manage its energy assets more effectively. Earlier, the government had written to Punjab to assert its rightful share in BBMB projects—an issue that has long been under contention. By extending this approach to other hydroelectric ventures, the state is clearly signaling its intent to maximize resource control and financial returns from its vast hydropower potential.

While the central companies may resist the changes citing previous agreements, the state’s position is rooted in updated policy priorities and a renewed focus on energy sovereignty. The coming weeks are expected to witness intensified legal and administrative activity around these projects, possibly influencing the future landscape of public sector energy development in the region.

LPG Cylinder Prices Hiked by ₹50, No Change in Petrol and Diesel Rates Despite Excise Duty Increase

LPG Cylinder Prices Hiked by ₹50, No Change in Petrol and Diesel Rates Despite Excise Duty Increase

 Cooking gas consumers in India will now have to pay ₹50 more per LPG cylinder after the latest revision in prices by distribution companies. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri confirmed on Monday that the price hike applies to both general category users and beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana.

With this revision, the price of a standard 14.2-kg LPG cylinder for general consumers will increase from ₹803 to ₹853. Similarly, those availing benefits under the Ujjwala scheme will now pay ₹553 per cylinder, up from ₹503. The move is expected to impact household budgets significantly, especially with temperatures soaring in several parts of the country and overall inflationary pressures mounting.

In a related development, the central government has also announced a ₹2 per litre increase in excise duty on both petrol and diesel. According to an official notification, the excise duty on petrol has been raised to ₹13 per litre, and for diesel, it now stands at ₹10 per litre. However, the Ministry clarified that this hike in duty will not affect the retail prices of fuel. The additional levy will be absorbed by adjusting it against the anticipated price cut driven by falling international crude oil prices.

The changes in excise duty will come into effect starting April 8, 2025. Although price hikes in taxes generally lead to higher prices at the consumer level, the declining global oil prices have created a buffer, allowing the government to impose this duty hike without burdening the end-user.

The international oil market has recently seen a sharp decline, reaching its lowest point since April 2021. This is attributed to escalating trade tensions between the United States and China, which have raised fears of a potential economic slowdown. Experts suggest that the fall in demand expectations has led to this sharp slump in global crude prices, providing the Indian government with the leeway to maintain current fuel prices for consumers despite higher taxation.

This dual-pronged approach—hiking LPG prices while keeping petrol and diesel prices unchanged—signals a strategic attempt by the government to balance fiscal needs with consumer sentiment, especially in the backdrop of a volatile global economy.

हिमाचल प्रदेश में गर्मी अब अपने चरम पर पहुंचने लगी है और प्रदेश के मैदानी इलाकों से लेकर ऊंचाई वाले क्षेत्रों तक तापमान में लगातार बढ़ोतरी देखी जा रही है। दिन के समय जहां ऊना में भीषण गर्मी दर्ज की जा रही है, वहीं रात के समय भी राजधानी शिमला में तापमान सामान्य से काफी ऊपर बना हुआ है। मौसम विभाग ने राज्य में लू के लिए यैलो अलर्ट जारी किया है और लोगों को सावधानी बरतने की सलाह दी है। हालांकि राहत की खबर यह है कि 8 अप्रैल से एक नया पश्चिमी विक्षोभ सक्रिय होगा, जिससे बढ़ती गर्मी पर ब्रेक लग सकता है।

रविवार को ऊना का अधिकतम तापमान 36.4 डिग्री सेल्सियस दर्ज किया गया, जो इस वर्ष का अब तक का सर्वाधिक तापमान है। वहीं, राजधानी शिमला का अधिकतम तापमान 25.5 डिग्री तक पहुंच गया, जो वहां का इस साल का सर्वोच्च तापमान है। आश्चर्यजनक रूप से, शिमला का न्यूनतम तापमान कई मैदानी जिलों से भी अधिक रिकॉर्ड किया गया। जहां लाहौल स्पीति के केलांग में न्यूनतम तापमान 0.5 डिग्री रहा, वहीं शिमला में यह 14.5 डिग्री सेल्सियस दर्ज किया गया। इसके मुकाबले ऊना में न्यूनतम तापमान 11.4 डिग्री, सोलन में 10.7 डिग्री, पालमपुर में 12 डिग्री, कांगड़ा में 13.3 डिग्री और धर्मशाला में 13.2 डिग्री रहा।

मौसम विभाग का पूर्वानुमान है कि आगामी कुछ दिनों में तापमान और अधिक बढ़ सकता है। सोमवार को प्रदेश के कुछ इलाकों में लू जैसे हालात बनने की संभावना है, जिसके चलते मंडी और कुल्लू जिलों में यैलो अलर्ट जारी किया गया है। इन जिलों में गर्म हवाएं चल सकती हैं, जिससे हीट स्ट्रोक और डिहाइड्रेशन जैसे जोखिम बढ़ सकते हैं। विभाग ने इन क्षेत्रों के निवासियों को दिन के समय घरों में रहने और पर्याप्त पानी पीने की सलाह दी है।

वहीं दूसरी ओर, मौसम में संभावित बदलाव को लेकर विभाग ने जानकारी दी है कि 8 अप्रैल से एक नया पश्चिमी विक्षोभ सक्रिय होगा, जिससे 9 अप्रैल से राज्य के मौसम में बदलाव की शुरुआत होगी। 9 और 10 अप्रैल को चम्बा, कांगड़ा, कुल्लू, मंडी और लाहौल-स्पीति जिलों में तेज हवाओं के साथ अंधड़, गरज-चमक और बिजली गिरने की संभावना जताई गई है। इसके चलते इन जिलों में भी यैलो अलर्ट जारी किया गया है। 11 और 12 अप्रैल को भी राज्य के कुछ क्षेत्रों में बादल छाने, गरज-चमक और हल्की वर्षा की संभावना है।

गर्मी के इस दौर में किसानों की चिंता भी बढ़ गई है, क्योंकि खेतों में गेहूं की फसल पककर कटाई के लिए तैयार है और अगर तेज हवाएं, बारिश या ओलावृष्टि होती है तो इससे फसल को भारी नुकसान पहुंच सकता है।
