ASHINGTON, D.C. – Tara Chand, president of the Baloch American Congress, urged U.S. President Donald Trump to withhold support for Balochistan mineral agreements negotiated through Pakistani authorities without Baloch people’s “free and informed” consent and credible human rights safeguards. In a letter, Chand cited alleged enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions and restrictions on peaceful political activity. He urged Washington to consider these concerns when assessing U.S. investment and called for independent investigations.

“For families searching for missing loved ones, promises of mineral development offer little reassurance without justice, safety, and respect for their rights. Economic agreements must never reward repression or give those accused of abuses greater resources and legitimacy,” he wrote. Citing a September 30 interview in Islamabad with U.S. chargé d’affaires Natalie A. Baker, Chand urged scrutiny of Pakistan’s mineral sector. He said affected communities must have a meaningful voice in decisions concerning their land and resources. “Balochistan is our homeland. Its natural wealth is the inheritance of its people, not a bargaining asset for Pakistan’s political and military leadership,” the letter stated. Chand urged Baker and the
State Department to engage with independent Baloch representatives, rights defenders and affected communities. Assurances from Islamabad, he said, could not replace the views of people affected by proposed projects. He urged Washington to consider grievances over Chinese investments under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, warning projects lacking local consent could deepen resentment and instability. Chand called for an impartial international investigation, accountability and protection for peaceful advocates. He linked mineral development to local rights, urging U.S. officials to reflect Baloch communities’ concerns and ensure safeguards against human rights violations.

Dominique Schelcher confirmed his supermarket group was also targeted. On X, he called attacks on equipment essential to preserving fresh food and supplying the public exceptionally serious and unprecedented. Carrefour reported that 80 supermarkets were affected, while most of its 6,000 stores remained unaffected. Monoprix, E.Leclerc and Auchan did not respond to requests for comment. Dutch grocery operator Ahold Delhaize said it was addressing a security issue within its network and had disconnected several systems as a precaution. Its Dutch chain Albert Heijn told customers that a cybersecurity incident had disrupted grocery deliveries. Online orders account for 10% of sales. Physical stores remained open, while Dutch news
P330 Georgetown Square ARIS – Hackers reportedly raised temperatures in supermarket refrigerators across France to 50 degrees Celsius overnight, causing food losses and fires at several hundred stores. The Paris prosecutor’s office described a large-scale cyberattack affecting refrigeration equipment at major national food retailers. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu directed the National Cybersecurity Agency, ANSSI, to investigate, a source said. Les Mousquetaires, owner of Intermarche, said 150 stores were affected. A spokesperson said refrigerators reached 50 degrees Celsius for six hours, forcing the company to discard affected food to prevent health risks. Cooperative U chief executive
agency ANP reported increased delivery demand at competing retailers. Ahold Delhaize’s American chains, including Stop & Shop, Giant, Hannaford and Food Lion, displayed notices saying their websites were temporarily unavailable. The extent of disruption elsewhere remained unclear, as did any connection to the French attacks. A source close to Lecornu said ANSSI had identified a vulnerability in software supplied by Denmark’s Danfoss. Danfoss acknowledged incidents involving some refrigeration management systems in France. It said affected equipment used outdated firmware and advised installing updates and replacing legacy systems. No link between incidents was established.

EW DELHI – The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) initiated prosecution proceedings against Surya Food & Agro Ltd, maker of Priyagold biscuits, over alleged use of cattle-feed bran in biscuit production. The regulator said an inspection following a consumer complaint found serious deficiencies. Bran used as a fibre source was stored in gunny bags marked for cattle feed and was not intended for human consumption. Inspectors reported shortcomings in plant hygiene, pest control, rawmaterial storage, personnel hygiene, premises maintenance and handling intermediate formulations. FSSAI suspended the company’s licence and said prosecution had been

sanctioned. The regulator also announced prosecution proceedings against Dodla Dairy Limited and Ueir Organic Foods Pvt Ltd over food safety violations. A full-cream milk sample from Dodla Dairy initially failed prescribed milk-fat standards. After the company appealed, a referral
laboratory detected detergent or caustic soda and insufficient milk fat, classifying the sample as unsafe and substandard. FSSAI said prosecution was sanctioned against Dodla Dairy. Notices were also issued to Narpadham Foods, Sun Ridges Health Carers and Sha Kantilal Jayantilal.

India’s Decade of Economic Catch-Up Worth Celebrating: COVID-19 RT-PCR Testing Top Economist
N
EW DELHI - India’s economic progress over the past decade and positive medium-term growth outlook deserve recognition despite persistent challenges, economist Kyunghoon Kim said on Sunday. In a post on X, Kim said the country’s economic catch-up matters enormously for its 1.4 billion people. His remarks followed an assessment highlighting India’s growth trajectory, with major institutions, including the International Monetary Fund, Asian Development Bank and World Bank, raising growth forecasts above 7 per cent for the current and following year, according to Kim. He said India had demonstrated resilience since the Covid-19 pandemic. After contracting by 5.8 per cent, the economy rebounded by 9.7 per cent in 2021 and grew more than 7 per cent in each of the next

four years. Kim said economists, including himself, repeatedly upgraded forecasts as quarterly GDP figures exceeded expectations. The resulting five consecutive years of growth above 7 per cent matched India’s performance during 2003–2007. Average annual growth of 7.83
per cent during 2021–2025 was the second-highest five-year average since 1960, slightly below 7.89 per cent during 2003–2007. Kim noted that India’s GDP, just above $1 trillion in 2007, is now approaching $4 trillion, meaning comparable growth rates generate a larger expansion in absolute economic output.

DISON, N.J. — More than 10,000 people attended the 28th Grand Dushahra Festival at Lake Papaianni Park on October 10, celebrating Indian heritage through theater, dance, food and fireworks. Organized by Indo-American Festivals, Inc. (IAF), the event drew families from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and surrounding communities. The celebration, held from 12:30 to 8:30 p.m., centered on the traditional message of the victory of good over evil. A two-hour Ramleela featured more than 75 artists under the direction and choreography of Varsha Naik of Navrang Dance Academy. The production depicted the Ramayana and Lord Rama’s triumph over Ravana, introducing younger audiences to the epic’s cultural and moral significance. The evening culminated with the burning of a 20-foot Ravana effigy, followed by fireworks. Nearly three hours of cultural programming, coordinated by Pratibha Nichakawade, showcased more than 250 performers presenting classical, folk, Bollywood and contemporary dances.

Babil Khan
on scuba diving journey: ‘Getting my Specialty Diver certification feels like another step’
COVID-19 RT-PCR Testing
M
umbai, Oct 21 (IANS) Actor Babil Khan, son of acclaimed star Irrfan Khan, has shared his love for the ocean and scuba diving, saying that earning his Specialty Diver certification marks another step in his journey of exploring and learning about the underwater world. “Scuba diving has been such a beautiful way for me to connect with the ocean and experience a world that exists beyond what we see on the surface. Getting my Specialty Diver certification feels like another step in a journey I want to keep exploring, learning and growing through,” Babil told IANS. He finds being
underwater as “humbling.” “There is something incredibly humbling about being underwater, surrounded by marine life and witnessing the ocean in its own element. It reminds you how much there is to discover and how much we still have to learn about the world around us,” he said. The actor spoke about protecting the oceans. “I hope to keep diving deeper, exploring new places and experiencing more of what the ocean has to offer. And in the process, I hope we can all become a little more conscious of the need to
protect our oceans and the life they sustain.” On the acting front, the 27-year-old started as a camera assistant on the Bollywood film Qarib Qarib Single. In 2022, he made his acting debut with Anvita Dutt’s psychological drama Qala alongside Triptii Dimri. In 2023, he was seen playing Juhi Chawla’s son Siddharth Menon in Friday Night Plan. He was then seen in the web series The Railway Men, a story on the Bhopal Gas Tragedy, alongside Divyendu Sharma, Kay Kay Menon, and R. Madhavan. In May 2025, the “Friday Night Plan” actor had deleted his Instagram profile after he shared a video (later deleted) in which he appeared visibly upset and in tears. --IANS

her second child with husband Sidharth Malhotra. On October 7, Kiara and Sidharth announced their second pregnancy with an adorable post on social media. The couple posted a cute picture of their baby girl Saraayah handing over a pair of ivory knitted booties to her parents, and captioned it, “Blessed once again with the greatest gift of all… Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude.” Sidharth and Kiara reportedly fell in love with each other on the sets of their movie ‘Shershaah’ and tied the knot in February 2023 in a grand traditional ceremony in Rajasthan. They welcomed their firstborn, a baby girl, in June 2025.-IANS

AIPUR – Harmanpreet Kaur’s unbeaten 91 off 41 balls and Nandani Sharma’s three wickets powered India to a 92-run victory over Zimbabwe in the third women’s T20I on Tuesday, completing a series sweep. India posted 216/7 after opting to bat. Harmanpreet reached her halfcentury in 25 balls, while Shafali Verma scored 69 and Anushka Sharma contributed 28. Zimbabwe’s Beloved Biza took 3/50. Zimbabwe’s chase began disastrously when Kelis Ndlovu was dismissed for a golden duck off the first ball. Beloved Biza scored 44 and Sharne Mayers made 60, sharing an 82-run partnership, but their stand came too slowly to keep the required rate within reach.

professors became more common. But in the past few years, as the rhetoric against the H-1B visa grew, and some in the far-right, anti-immigrant movements started portraying Indians as job-snatchers, the hatred and racism against Indians grew. The hatred spread quickly online as some right-wing activists in fast-growing Indian majority cities like Texas began posting videos of Indians celebrating their festivals creating civic inconvenience. In no time, religious processions taken out on public streets, cultural dances performed in public spaces and even major festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali came under negative spotlight as many opposed to an Indian or growing Hindu influx in America began seeing it as signs of invasion or disappearing American culture. A number of incidents in the past one year further show that antiHindu hate is becoming a growing problem in the United States.

few days ago, the reports of a 19-year-old young man planning to carry out a mass shooting at the Hindu Temple in Aurora, a densely populated suburb west of Chicago came about. And while the mishap was contained by the prompt action of the police and the FBI, the incident brought attention to the rising tide of anti-Indian and often anti-Hindu hate in America today. The fact that a place of worship could have been a place of a massacre sent a chill down the spine for thousands of Hindus across the Chicagoland area who frequently visit the temple. The Sri Venkateswara Swami (Balaji) Temple in Aurora which was built back in 1985 is one of the largest and well-attended Hindu places of worship across the Midwest. It is not uncommon for devotees not just from Chicago but also from nearby states such as Indiana, Wisconsin and even Missouri to drive down to the temple on important occasions like festivals or religious ceremonies. For a large part of Hindu population living west of Chicago, it is a family ritual to visit the temple during the weekends for puja. In fact on the fateful day, the alleged shooter was planning to attack the temple, none other than Illinois Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, who represents Illinois’ 8th congressional district, himself was there with his family. He said, “I visited not knowing that there was an attacker lying in wait with a sinister motive to commit a mass shooting, and only because his AR-15 weapon jammed was he not able to commit a massacre that day.” But as the 19-year-old Palatine man Alexandros Paporakis faces charges of an alleged mass shooting at the temple that was timely foiled, the larger question that remains is since when did Hindus become an easy target and a subject of hatred in America. Majority of Hindus in America, hail from India and for a long time had created an impression of a model minority that worked in regular jobs, paid taxes and were amongst the most professionally well-placed and financially well-off minorities. The place for Indians, getting accepted in the American mainstream was also reflected in American mainstream sitcoms where the appearance of Indian characters often portrayed in white-collared jobs like doctors or
