A few Chinese troops were temporarily detained by Indian personnel in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, after approximately 200 of them crossed into Indian territory from Tibet and attempted to damage unoccupied bunkers. These bunkers are near the Line of Actual Control at the Bum La and Yangtse border passes. According to sources, the incident involving the Chinese attempting to damage a few unoccupied bunkers occurred last week.

“The India-China border has not been formally demarcated. Hence, there is a difference in perception of LAC between the countries. Peace and tranquillity in these areas of differing perceptions has been possible by adhering to existing agreements and protocols between the two countries,” the source said, adding, “Whenever patrols of both sides physically meet, the situation is managed according to established protocols and mechanisms agreed by both sides. Physical engagement can last for a few hours prior to disengaging as per mutual understanding,” A suggestion was made as a follow up that both sides safeguard up to their line of perception to avoid further disputes.

Meanwhile, in a press conference on Thursday, Arindam Bagchi, the Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson, stated that China is expected to work on resolving the unresolved issue along the LAC in Eastern Ladakh as soon as possible.

“It is our expectation that China will work towards early resolution of the remaining issues along the line of actual control in eastern Ladakh while fully abiding by bilateral agreements and protocols,” Bagchi had said at a media briefing.

This assertion made by China in the region is not unusual. More than 200 Chinese troops reportedly crossed into the Indian side of the LAC at Yangtse in 2016, but returned within a few hours.

In 2011, Chinese troops attempted and failed to scale a 250-metre-long wall on the Indian side of the LAC. This latest transgression, however, comes only a month after a similar intrusion in Uttarakhand’s Barahoti sector near the LAC, where Chinese troops were reportedly aggressively patrolling.

Music has always been a medium to express the emotions that one finds difficult to express in words and that is the reason why music has been so popular. It is one of the oldest and greatest forms of art. We have read many great artists, minds and philosophers writing notes and essays about the importance of music in our life. Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” But music has a diverse range of genres. Every generation has its own favourite. Hip-Hop and Rap that started to become mainstream in 90s is still finding new ways and voices to be a hit among the youth. The musicians who are composing these songs know what youth wants to hear They and their songs have been becoming a source of inspiration for many.

Guri Singh is one such musician. Born and brought up in Mandigobind Garh Punjab, this 30 year old musician lives in Melbourne and has been passionately creating amazing songs and music. People in Punjab have been blessed with a deep voice and that is due to the influence of the folk music there which requires you to sing in higher notes. Guri Singh has been really very successful in carving his own niche and has been delivering constant hits so far. His music which is influenced by Punjabi music and Hip-hop is a rage among the youth.

For Guri, Music is something that fills his heart with ecstasy as he describes it as a rejuvenating experience. Guri Singh says that he finds his inspiration in great artists of Punjab such as Kuldip Manak, Gurdas Maan, Chamkila, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and many more. He says that these artists have really influenced his understanding of good music and compositions.

Always in a mode to create something great, Guri Singh has his own share of struggle but he says that if you are really passionate about something, all struggles are worth it because of the rewarding experience that you get out of it. He says that one should really work hard and keep pushing through as it makes the success inevitable. But one should also be aware of it that both success and failure are part of life.

“I would be lying if I say I don’t want success therefore it is important. But one should realize that it is part of your life not your life.” Said Guri Singh.

One of his many popular songs, “Garam Blood” has more than a million views and his songs have hundreds of thousand views. The best part about GUri Singh’s music is the editing in his music videos. We all understand that after the rise of video contents and platforms that promote videos, it is not enough to have great songs anymore.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and his Punjab counterpart Charanjit Channi accompanied the Gandhi siblings.

Power crisis has become a critical subject of discussion as only 4 days of coal reserves are left in India. With the limited coal supply, coal powered stations are triggering a threat to stall the world’s fastest- expanding major economy.  More than half of the nation’s plants are on alert for outages after the increase in electricity demand and a slump in local coal output stockpiles. Coal-fired power stations have broken all the previous records and have embodied the lowest number of coal availability in years. 

“I don’t know whether I will be comfortable in the next five to six, four to five months,” Power Minister Raj Kumar Singh was quoted as telling The Indian Express in an interview published Tuesday. While demand is typically slow with cooler weather from mid-October, “it’s going to be touch and go,” he said.

Coal is used to produce around 70% of electricity and the consumption of coal is going to surge high in the upcoming years. Like the neighbouring country China, India is also getting affected with the sharp surge of electricity demand. Several government ministers are also seen working with State-run Coal India Ltd. and NTPC Ltd.  Being the largest power generator they are expected to increase the mine outputs and make sure that the demand is fulfilled.

“Until supplies stabilize completely, we are likely to see power outages in some pockets, while customers elsewhere may be asked to pay more for power,” said Pranav Master, director for infrastructure advisory at credit ratings firm Crisil Ltd. “Because of imported coal prices shooting through the roof, plants running on domestic coal have had to do a lot of heavy-lifting. Things are expected to get better as the rains abate.”

The companies that have been maintaining their payment regularly will be prioritized and provided proper coal supply and mandated level of fuel stocks, newspaper claimed.

The apex court, on Wednesday, took the suo moto cognizance of the Lakhimpur Kheri Violence and Deaths. A three-judge bench led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) to hear the matter today.

In a major move, the Supreme Court of India, on Wednesday, took the suo moto cognizance of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence and death that claimed the lives of 8 people including 4 farmers who died after a car belonging to the convoy of the Union Minister’s son ramped over the protesting farmers. The matter is listed for hearing on October 7th and will be heard by a three-judge bench led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) N V Ramana.

Along with the CJI, Justice Surya Kant and Justice Hima Kohli will also be part of the three-judge bench which will hear the crucial matter. The moves come after the Lakhimpur Kheri violence has sparked a major outrage across the country. Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has ordered a judicial probe that will be headed by a retired High Court Judge. 

As per the supplementary cause list of the Supreme Court of India, the matter has been registered as “In Re violence in Lakhimpur Kheri leading to the loss of life,” has been registered “by court’s motion” in the category “Latter Petition and PIL Matters” and will come up for admission hearing before the three-judge bench today. 

The events have created a political storm across the nation and particularly in the poll-bound state of Uttar Pradesh. Opposition parties are demanding that the Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra must resign from his ministerial post and strict action as per the law should be taken against his son Ashish Kumar Mishra as one of the cars which ran over the protesting farmers, killing four, was owned by him. Farmers also alleged that he was present in the car and that it was a part of a larger conspiracy.

The Yogi government seems to be on a backfoot and is trying to pacify the situation. The opposition parties are all guns blazing against the BJP government. Congress Leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, on Wednesday, met with the families of the farmers who died by getting run down by the car. Apart from Congress, the TMC delegation also reached the district to show their support to the farmers. 

On Tuesday, two-UP-based lawyers Shiv Kumar Tripathi and C S Panda wrote to the CJI seeking a court-monitored, high-level inquiry into the incident. The letter urged the court to treat it as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and order the probe so that guilty could be brought to justice.

However, it is unclear that if the suo moto cognizance was registered after taking this letter into account or not.
