New Delhi: The Newspaper Association of India (NAI) has written to Hon'ble Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, urging the Ministry of Home Affairs to order an immediate investigation and ensure strict legal action against those allegedly involved in the assault, intimidation, and misconduct towards journalists, media professionals, security personnel, and Rapid Action Force (RAF) jawans during the recent protest at Jantar Mantar.
In a letter addressed to the Home Minister, Dr. Vipin Gaur, General Secretary of the Newspaper Association of India, expressed serious concern over reports and videos circulating on social media that allegedly show journalists being physically assaulted, obstructed, and intimidated while carrying out their professional duties. The Association also highlighted reports that some female journalists were allegedly subjected to inappropriate and objectionable behaviour, calling for a thorough and impartial investigation into the incidents.
The NAI has requested the Ministry of Home Affairs to direct the concerned authorities to conduct a fair, impartial, and time-bound investigation, examine all available video footage and other evidence, including publicly available social media videos, identify those responsible, register FIRs wherever cognizable offences are established, and take strict legal action in accordance with the law.
The Association has further expressed concern over reports that security personnel, including RAF jawans and other law enforcement officials, were allegedly assaulted or obstructed while performing their duty of maintaining law and order. It has urged the government to investigate these allegations and initiate appropriate legal proceedings against those found responsible.
Emphasizing the vital role of a free press in a democratic society, the Newspaper Association of India stated that journalists—often referred to as the "Soldiers of the Pen"—play an essential role in informing the public, frequently working in challenging and sensitive situations. The Association noted that attacks on journalists while they are performing their professional responsibilities not only endanger media personnel but also undermine press freedom and democratic values.
The NAI also stressed that security personnel and RAF jawans dedicate themselves to safeguarding public order and national security and that any attack on them while discharging their lawful duties is equally unacceptable.
Strongly condemning all forms of violence, intimidation, and obstruction against journalists, media professionals, and security personnel, the Association appealed to the Union Home Minister to ensure that justice is delivered and effective measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
The Newspaper Association of India expressed confidence that under the leadership of Shri Amit Shah, the Government of India will take appropriate steps to uphold the rule of law, protect the freedom and safety of journalists, and ensure the security of law enforcement personnel serving the nation. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTtyshicen7AeEC1B-DHy0MQ6K4IDU60mm1mPKSzyiIkqNaroCwKXFgEmm6srl0TTDJkzV1iZDZsNOimOSjaR0I0j6O_ELdWkqE-IwBkvnh6IDUX8gdLcgtsbFNMBiJxgZowtn28jiCYbdeZ9-OnRYhyXYLOdcyR2ZoLDkA1uQKuRSXSZmHjOBdvU1Jgo/s3412/to%20hm%201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3412" data-original-width="2376" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTtyshicen7AeEC1B-DHy0MQ6K4IDU60mm1mPKSzyiIkqNaroCwKXFgEmm6srl0TTDJkzV1iZDZsNOimOSjaR0I0j6O_ELdWkqE-IwBkvnh6IDUX8gdLcgtsbFNMBiJxgZowtn28jiCYbdeZ9-OnRYhyXYLOdcyR2ZoLDkA1uQKuRSXSZmHjOBdvU1Jgo/s320/to%20hm%201.JPG" width="223" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPSZVZOF1vA1X3O2CME_Z2Be92YcCGHmczAg7pRfDRGChKc_NtO0qOOeD4bzlAqjzepE2cPhX79q9_4XtMqSQqck8oFxQp3XAMh3aPT_wQ5yuHGXoubdHd8D9NmkSHeenzHjwMcE9apy5HvbFmceUdDVGTp8DBuijw5TWhPBt51cV1aRbCulqiFZ2syWw/s3412/to%20HM2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3412" data-original-width="2376" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPSZVZOF1vA1X3O2CME_Z2Be92YcCGHmczAg7pRfDRGChKc_NtO0qOOeD4bzlAqjzepE2cPhX79q9_4XtMqSQqck8oFxQp3XAMh3aPT_wQ5yuHGXoubdHd8D9NmkSHeenzHjwMcE9apy5HvbFmceUdDVGTp8DBuijw5TWhPBt51cV1aRbCulqiFZ2syWw/s320/to%20HM2.JPG" width="223" /></a></div>

GDA में ‘सुविधा शुल्क’ का खेल? नागरिकों ने लगाए उगाही और उत्पीड़न के आरोप

सूत्रों के मुताबिक नक्शा पास कराने, अवैध निर्माण मामलों में राहत दिलाने, कंप्लीशन सर्टिफिकेट जारी कराने, जमीन से जुड़े दस्तावेजों और अन्य प्रशासनिक कार्यों के नाम पर खुलेआम पैसों की मांग की जाती है। आरोप यह भी हैं कि विभाग के कुछ निचले स्तर के अधिकारियों और कर्मचारियों ने अलग-अलग कार्यों के लिए “रेट लिस्ट” तक तय कर रखी है। कई लोग डर और प्रताड़ना के कारण खुलकर सामने नहीं आ पा रहे, लेकिन अंदरखाने भ्रष्टाचार की चर्चाएं जोरों पर हैं।
विशेष रूप से गाजियाबाद के इंदिरापुरम क्षेत्र में ऐसे मामलों ने अब तूल पकड़ना शुरू कर दिया है। स्थानीय लोगों का आरोप है कि निर्माण, नक्शा स्वीकृति और संपत्ति से जुड़े मामलों में कथित तौर पर भारी स्तर पर उगाही की जा रही है। कई नागरिकों का कहना है कि बिना पैसे दिए सामान्य प्रशासनिक कार्य तक समय पर नहीं किए जाते, जिससे लोगों में भारी नाराजगी है।
इतना ही नहीं, कुछ लोगों ने आरोप लगाया है कि जब कथित रूप से मांगी गई रकम नहीं दी जाती, तब संबंधित कर्मचारी या बिचौलिए फोन पर अभद्र भाषा, गाली-गलौज और धमकी भरे अंदाज में बात कर लोगों को डराने और मानसिक दबाव बनाने का प्रयास करते हैं। इससे आम नागरिकों में भय और असुरक्षा का माहौल पैदा हो रहा है।
स्थानीय नागरिकों का कहना है कि भ्रष्टाचार की शिकायतें कई बार उच्च अधिकारियों तक पहुंचाई गईं, लेकिन कार्रवाई के बजाय मामलों को दबा दिया जाता है। इससे रिश्वतखोर कर्मचारियों के हौसले इतने बढ़ गए हैं कि उन्हें अब न कानून का डर दिखाई देता है और न ही शासन-प्रशासन का भय।
हाल ही में दिल्ली नगर निगम (MCD) के एक डिप्टी कमिश्नर समेत कई अधिकारियों को CBI द्वारा रिश्वत लेते हुए रंगे हाथ गिरफ्तार किए जाने के बाद गाजियाबाद में भी चर्चाएं तेज हो गई हैं। लोगों का कहना है कि यदि केंद्रीय एजेंसियां निष्पक्ष जांच करें तो GDA में भी बड़े स्तर पर भ्रष्टाचार का खुलासा हो सकता है। चर्चा यह भी है कि कुछ अधिकारी सत्ता और राजनीतिक संरक्षण के भरोसे खुलेआम उगाही में लगे हुए हैं।
सबसे बड़ा सवाल यह उठ रहा है कि मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ की भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ “जीरो टॉलरेंस” नीति के बावजूद आखिर गाजियाबाद में यह खेल किसके संरक्षण में चल रहा है? क्या संबंधित अधिकारियों को सरकार और कानून का कोई भय नहीं रह गया है?
सामाजिक संगठनों, आरडब्ल्यूए और स्थानीय लोगों ने मुख्यमंत्री से मांग की है कि GDA में चल रहे कथित भ्रष्टाचार, रिश्वतखोरी और उगाही की उच्चस्तरीय जांच कराई जाए। लोगों का कहना है कि यदि समय रहते कार्रवाई नहीं हुई तो जनता का सरकारी संस्थाओं से भरोसा पूरी तरह खत्म हो जाएगा।</div>

a significant step toward enhancing their bilateral ties, as Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung unveiled a comprehensive
roadmap to strengthen cooperation across trade, technology, and key strategic
sectors. The announcements were made during President Lee’s first visit to
India after assuming office, following delegation-level discussions in New
Delhi.</div>

During a joint press statement, both leaders witnessed the
exchange of several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). These agreements
indicate a wide-ranging effort to enhance economic engagement and deepen
cooperation in both emerging and established sectors.<o:p></o:p>

Prime Minister Modi welcomed President Lee, describing his
life as “an inspiring example of struggle, service, and dedication,” and stated
that the visit represents an important step in further reinforcing the
strategic partnership between the two democracies. Highlighting shared
democratic values, Modi noted that the relationship is progressing from a
trusted partnership toward a futuristic strategic alliance.<o:p></o:p>

Trade Expansion and CEPA Upgrade<o:p></o:p>

A major outcome of the summit was the decision to
substantially increase bilateral trade. Both nations have set a goal to raise
trade to $50 billion by 2030, nearly doubling the present volume of around
$25–27 billion. To achieve this, the leaders agreed to upgrade the
Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) within the coming year to
better reflect evolving global trade trends.<o:p></o:p>

Industrial Cooperation and Investment Boost<o:p></o:p>

To further enhance industrial ties, Prime Minister Modi
announced plans to develop dedicated Korean industrial townships in India.
These townships are intended to support the entry and growth of South Korean
companies, especially small and medium enterprises, by offering better
infrastructure and regulatory assistance.<o:p></o:p>

An Industrial Cooperation Committee will also be set up as a
ministerial platform to strengthen business engagement and promote trade and
investment between the two countries.<o:p></o:p>

Financial and Economic Mechanisms<o:p></o:p>

To support expanding economic relations, both sides
announced the establishment of new institutional mechanisms. The India-Korea
Financial Forum will help ensure smoother capital movement and boost investment
partnerships, while an Economic Security Dialogue will focus on critical
technologies and supply chain resilience.<o:p></o:p>

Additionally, discussions were held on simplifying
regulatory processes for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), enabling
smoother industrial cooperation and business activities.<o:p></o:p>

India-Korea Digital Bridge<o:p></o:p>

A key highlight of the summit was the launch of the
“India-Korea Digital Bridge,” a long-term initiative aimed at strengthening
cooperation in advanced technology sectors such as artificial intelligence,
semiconductors, and information technology.<o:p></o:p>

This initiative reflects the shared vision of both nations
to build resilient supply chains and future-ready industries. Collaboration in
areas like chip manufacturing, advanced technologies, and innovation ecosystems
is expected to play a significant role in shaping the partnership.<o:p></o:p>

Expanding Cultural and People-to-People Ties<o:p></o:p>

Beyond economic and technological engagement, both leaders
emphasised the importance of cultural and people-to-people connections. They
noted the increasing popularity of Korean culture in India and identified
films, animation, gaming, and entertainment as growing areas of engagement.<o:p></o:p>

On cultural ties, the Prime Minister remarked, “India and
Korea share cultural ties dating back thousands of years. The story of Princess
Suriratna of Ayodhya and King Kim Suro of Korea from 2,000 years ago is our
shared heritage.” He added, “Today, K-Pop and K-Dramas are becoming very
popular in India. Similarly, the recognition of Indian cinema and culture is
growing in Korea. We are delighted that President Lee himself is a fan of
Indian cinema. To strengthen this cultural connect, we will organize the India-Korea
Friendship Festival in 2028.”<o:p></o:p>

Quoting Rabindranath Tagore, the Prime Minister concluded,
“Nearly 100 years ago, India’s great poet, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, called
Korea the ‘Lamp of the East.’ Today, Korea is a vital partner in realizing our
resolve for a ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ (Developed India 2047). Let us, through our
partnership, pave the way for the progress and prosperity of both our countries
and the entire world.”<o:p></o:p>

Global and Strategic Cooperation<o:p></o:p>

The leaders also exchanged views on regional and global
developments, underlining the importance of stability and cooperation in the
Indo-Pacific region. They agreed to deepen collaboration in areas such as green
energy, critical technologies, and supply chain security.<o:p></o:p>

Prime Minister Modi welcomed South Korea’s participation in
global initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance and the
Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative, highlighting a shared commitment to sustainable
development and environmental responsibility.<o:p></o:p>

Vision for the Future<o:p></o:p>

President Lee appreciated India’s development progress and
its long-term growth vision, while both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to
building a forward-looking partnership. The visit, the first by a South Korean
president to India in over eight years, is being regarded as a major milestone
in bilateral relations.<o:p></o:p>

The summit concluded with Prime Minister Modi accepting an
invitation to visit South Korea in the near future, indicating continued
high-level engagement between the two nations.<o:p></o:p>

With expanded engagement across economic, technological,
cultural, and strategic domains, India and South Korea have laid the groundwork
for a deeper and more comprehensive partnership in the coming years.<o:p></o:p>

Cultural Centre India successfully hosted the ‘K-Dream Stage: All India K-Pop
Grand Championship 2026’ at the Yashobhoomi Indoor Stadium in New
Delhi. The grand event was organised at a large-scale venue and
marked India’s largest K-pop competition and served as a grand finale of the
long-running ‘All India K-Pop Contest,’ now in its 16th year since its
inception in 2011. It became a vibrant platform for cultural exchange where the
youth of Korea and India came together through music. Distinguished guests,
including First Lady Kim Hea Kyung; Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism
Chae Hwi Young; and Co-Chair of the Popular Culture Exchange Committee Park Jin
Young, attended the event along with around 3,000 local Hallyu fans, creating
an electrifying atmosphere. </div>

The event was structured into pre-event, main event,
and post-event segments. The pre-event featured a K-pop Random Play Dance led
by seven leading dancers, where around 50 audience members freely joined in
dancing near the stage, energizing the crowd. <o:p></o:p>

During the main event, welcoming remarks by Minister
Chae Hwi Young were followed by a congratulatory message from First Lady Kim
Hea Kyung. Minister Chae expressed his appreciation, stating that while he had
long been aware of India’s love for K-culture, seeing such a large and
enthusiastic audience filled him with emotion. First Lady Kim remarked that she
hopes the event would serve as a meaningful opportunity to further deepen and
expand people-to-people and cultural exchanges between Korea and India. <o:p></o:p>

The main event began with the three performances in
the vocal category – Abhipriya Chakraborty, Shruti Dasgupta, Unnati Singh
Bilwal, followed by the three in the dance category – MIXDUP, OUTKASTS,
3Plus4Crew – each delivering a five-minute performance. <o:p></o:p>

Judges including Park Jin Young, Lee Woo Chang (HYBE
India), and dancer Lip J highly praised the participants’ skills. Park Jin
Young noted that the Indian contestants’ Korean pronunciation and emotional
expression were impressive, adding that while technique is important,
connecting with the audience through genuine emotion is even more crucial.<o:p></o:p>

The event also featured performances by invited
artists X:IN (including Indian member Aria), Dhvani Bhanushali, and Younite.
During the awards ceremony, Park Jin Young personally presented the vocal
category awards, while Minister Chae Hwi Young presented the dance category
awards. The post-event segment included interactive sessions between the
artists and the audience, which received an enthusiastic response. <o:p></o:p>

This competition served as a grand championship
featuring only the top 36 winning teams from across India over the past five
years (2021–2025), with 25 teams ultimately participating in the final round.
The event brought together passionate performances by young Indian participants
and Korean artists, creating a meaningful experience where the youth of both
countries could connect and appreciate each other’s cultures. <o:p></o:p>

Korean Cultural Centre India stated that it will
continue to expand Korea–India cultural exchange through K-pop and contribute
to the spread of Hallyu and the strengthening of bilateral friendship in India.<o:p></o:p>
