Global greenhouse gas emissions surged 2.3% in 2024, reaching a record 57.7 gigatons, with India and China leading the absolute increase. Projections indicate a 2.3-2.5°C rise in global temperatures by century’s end, significantly missing Paris Agreement goals. Despite some progress, current climate actions are insufficient to avert severe climate risks. Representative image (AI) NEW DELHI: The global greenhouse gas (GHG) emission increased by 2.3% in 2024, compared to the previous year, to reach a record high of 57.7 gigatons of CO2 equivalent, with India reporting the highest absolute increase in emissions followed by China, Russia, Indonesia and the US, showed a UN report released on Tuesday. It warned the world is “heading for a serious escalation of climate risks and damages”.It said that the global average temperature is projected to rise 2.3-2.5 degree Celsius by the end of the century above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900) even if the climate actions are fully implemented under the new mitigation goals of the countries amid rising carbon emissions. It means the new climate pledges are completely off target and fall short on the warming limit goal.The absolute increase in emissions excludes the emission caused by change in land use and forest cover due uncertainties in estimates of net emission from such factors. It primarily calculates emissions of fossil CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases.Currently, the six largest emitters in terms of total GHG emissions are China, the US, India, EU, Russia and Indonesia. The report noted that among the big emitters, the European Union was the only one to decrease emissions in 2024.“The 2.3% increase in total GHG emissions (globally in 2024) from 2023 levels is high compared with the 2022–2023 increase of 1.6%. It is more than four times higher than the annual average growth rate in the 2010s (0.6% per year), and comparable to the emissions growth in the 2000s (on average 2.2% per year),” said the report.In terms of growth rate, Indonesia showed the highest increase (4.6%) followed by India (3.6%). Emissions growth in China (0.5% in 2024) was lower than the previous year.The report underlined that the contributions by current, per capita and historic emissions differ across the high emitters and world regions. Per capita GHG emissions are above the world average of 6.4 tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) in the US, Russia, China and EU, and remain significantly below it in Indonesia and India.Flagging how the growing emission and the countries’ low mitigation targets put the Paris Agreement threshold of 1.5 degree C of warming at risk in the short-term (within the next decade), the report – UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2025 – noted that the rise will go up to 2.8 degree Celsius in the business-as-usual scenario under the ongoing policies.Though the current projected rise of 2.3-2.5 degree C is an improvement over the previous year’s projection of 2.6-2.8 degree C rise, the report noted that the updated pledges are not adequate to get the desired result of keeping the global warming either within 1.5 degree C or 2 degree C. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement 10 years ago, temperature rise predictions have, however, fallen from 3-3.5 degree C — a clear sign that the world can keep it further down with more ambitious emission reduction targets.The report said that the reductions to annual emissions of 35% and 55%, compared with 2019 levels, are needed by 2035 to align with the Paris Agreement 2 degree C and 1.5 degree C pathways, respectively.“While national climate plans have delivered some progress, it is nowhere near fast enough, which is why we still need unprecedented emissions cuts in an increasingly tight window, with an increasingly challenging geopolitical backdrop,” said Inger Andersen, executive director, UNEP.The report comes as a warning signal to governments ahead of the UN climate conference (COP30), scheduled to be held in Belem, Brazil during Nov 10-21.Despite the Paris Agreement requirement to submit new climate action targets – called Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) – by February, only 64 countries covering 63% of global GHG emissions had submitted or announced new NDCs by the cut-off date of Sept 30. India is expected to submit its target for 2035 in the next few days.“Nations have had three attempts to deliver promises made under the Paris Agreement, and each time they have landed off target,” said Andersen.The report noted that though NDCs have, overall, become modestly more robust over time, it’s at nowhere near the pace needed, and the new NDCs have done little to accelerate progress.“In addition to the lack of progress in pledges, a huge implementation gap remains, with countries not on track to meet their 2030 NDCs, let alone new 2035 targets,” it said.About the AuthorVishwa MohanVishwa Mohan is Senior Editor at The Times of India.

Delhi ranked sixth most polluted city in India in October, with PM2.5 levels nearly tripling from September. A CREA report highlighted a sharp air quality drop across the Indo-Gangetic Plain, with Dharuhera in Haryana topping the list. The findings underscore the impact of year-round pollution sources beyond seasonal factors. Smog blankets the Yamuna in Delhi (PTI file photo) NEW DELHI: Delhi was ranked the sixth most polluted city in India in October, trailing behind Ghaziabad and Noida, according to a new report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).The study, based on continuous air quality monitoring data, found a sharp drop in air quality across the Indo-Gangetic Plain, particularly in the National Capital Region. Dharuhera in Haryana topped the list as the most polluted city, recording a monthly average PM2.5 level of 123 µg/m³, double the national safe limit.Delhi’s air quality also worsened significantly, with its monthly average rising to 107 µg/m³, nearly three times higher than in September. CREA noted that while stubble burning contributed less than six per cent of Delhi’s PM2.5 levels in October, the spike points to the impact of year-round pollution sources and the limits of short-term seasonal measures like the Graded Response Action Plan.Dharuhera breached national air quality standards on 77 per cent of the days last month, logging two ‘severe’ and nine ‘very poor’ days. Other cities high on the pollution list included Rohtak, Ghaziabad, Noida, Ballabgarh, Bhiwadi, Greater Noida, Hapur, and Gurgaon, most of them part of the NCR region.Top 10 most polluted cities Dharuhera, HaryanaRohtak, HaryanaGhaziabad, Uttar PradeshNoida, Uttar PradeshBallabgarh, HaryanaDelhi, National Capital TerritoryBhiwadi, RajasthanGreater Noida, Uttar PradeshHapur, Uttar PradeshGurgaon, HaryanaAlso read: Data under fire, SC seeks report on measures to tackle pollutionAt the other end, Shillong in Meghalaya was India’s cleanest city, with an average PM2.5 concentration of 10 µg/m³.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has targeted RJD candidate Osama Shahab in Bihar. Sarma drew a controversial comparison between Shahab and Osama Bin Laden. He stated that Shahab’s victory would be a setback for Hindus. Sarma also discussed his work in Assam regarding infiltrators and madrasas. He announced plans for a law against multiple marriages in Assam. Himanta Biswa Sarma addressing the rally in Siwan (ANI) NEW DELHI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday targeted RJD candidate Osama Shahab – son of late gangster-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin – at an election rally in Bihar’s Siwan district, drawing a controversial comparison between him and terrorist Osama Bin Laden.Addressing a public meeting in the Raghunathpur assembly segment, Sarma said, “Before I came to Raghunathpur, I thought I would see Lord Ram, Lord Lakshman and Goddess Sita, but I was told that there are many Ram, Laxman and Sita here and there is also Osama. So I asked, who is Osama? This Osama is like the earlier Osama Bin Laden. We have to ensure the elimination of all Osama Bin Ladens in the state. What was Osama’s father’s name? He was called Shahabuddin…”The BJP leader also claimed that Osama Shahab’s electoral win would amount to a setback for Hindus. “If such an Osama wins from Raghunathpur, it will be a defeat for Hindus. I shall myself be watching the results of this constituency on November 14, sitting at the gates of Kamakhya temple in Assam. I am sure you people will reject Osama just as you had defeated his mother in Lok Sabha polls,” Sarma said, referring to Hina Shahab, widow of Mohammad Shahabuddin, who had contested the parliamentary election as an Independent.Osama Shahab, 31, is contesting from Raghunathpur on a Rashtriya Janata Dal ticket, making his political debut from what is considered his father’s stronghold. The Janata Dal (United) has fielded Vikash Kumar Singh from the seat, while Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj has nominated Rahul Kirti. Osama faces several criminal cases, mostly under the Arms Act, 1959.Continuing his attack, Sarma also touched on issues from his home state, saying that as Assam’s chief minister he had worked to “free 50,000 acres of land from infiltrators” and stopped government funding for madrasa teachers. “The infiltrators also pose a threat to our womenfolk. The Congress had been footing the bill for the salaries of teachers at Madrasas. I put an end to it, making it clear the government is supposed to train doctors and engineers, and not mullahs,” he said.He further claimed he would soon bring a law in Assam to punish men marrying multiple times. “Later this month, I am also going to bring a law that would send to jail those who marry three to four times. I am going to shut down this shop,” he told the gathering.Appealing for support to the NDA, Sarma urged voters to back CM Nitish Kumar and reject the “Tejashwi-Osama duo.” He said, “Awakened Hindus defeated the legacy of Babur and Aurangzeb in Ayodhya, where a temple of Lord Ram stands. They will again beat Osama.”The upcoming Bihar assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, with results scheduled for November 14. \The contest is primarily between the ruling NDA – comprising BJP, JD(U), LJP (Ram Vilas), HAM (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha – and the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, which includes Congress, CPI(ML), CPI, CPM and the Vikasheel Insaan Party.(With inputs from agencies)About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has targeted RJD candidate Osama Shahab in Bihar. Sarma drew a controversial comparison between Shahab and Osama Bin Laden. He stated that Shahab’s victory would be a setback for Hindus. Sarma also discussed his work in Assam regarding infiltrators and madrasas. He announced plans for a law against multiple marriages in Assam. Himanta Biswa Sarma addressing the rally in Siwan (ANI) NEW DELHI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday targeted RJD candidate Osama Shahab – son of late gangster-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin – at an election rally in Bihar’s Siwan district, drawing a controversial comparison between him and terrorist Osama Bin Laden.Addressing a public meeting in the Raghunathpur assembly segment, Sarma said, “Before I came to Raghunathpur, I thought I would see Lord Ram, Lord Lakshman and Goddess Sita, but I was told that there are many Ram, Laxman and Sita here and there is also Osama. So I asked, who is Osama? This Osama is like the earlier Osama Bin Laden. We have to ensure the elimination of all Osama Bin Ladens in the state. What was Osama’s father’s name? He was called Shahabuddin…”The BJP leader also claimed that Osama Shahab’s electoral win would amount to a setback for Hindus. “If such an Osama wins from Raghunathpur, it will be a defeat for Hindus. I shall myself be watching the results of this constituency on November 14, sitting at the gates of Kamakhya temple in Assam. I am sure you people will reject Osama just as you had defeated his mother in Lok Sabha polls,” Sarma said, referring to Hina Shahab, widow of Mohammad Shahabuddin, who had contested the parliamentary election as an Independent.Osama Shahab, 31, is contesting from Raghunathpur on a Rashtriya Janata Dal ticket, making his political debut from what is considered his father’s stronghold. The Janata Dal (United) has fielded Vikash Kumar Singh from the seat, while Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj has nominated Rahul Kirti. Osama faces several criminal cases, mostly under the Arms Act, 1959.Continuing his attack, Sarma also touched on issues from his home state, saying that as Assam’s chief minister he had worked to “free 50,000 acres of land from infiltrators” and stopped government funding for madrasa teachers. “The infiltrators also pose a threat to our womenfolk. The Congress had been footing the bill for the salaries of teachers at Madrasas. I put an end to it, making it clear the government is supposed to train doctors and engineers, and not mullahs,” he said.He further claimed he would soon bring a law in Assam to punish men marrying multiple times. “Later this month, I am also going to bring a law that would send to jail those who marry three to four times. I am going to shut down this shop,” he told the gathering.Appealing for support to the NDA, Sarma urged voters to back CM Nitish Kumar and reject the “Tejashwi-Osama duo.” He said, “Awakened Hindus defeated the legacy of Babur and Aurangzeb in Ayodhya, where a temple of Lord Ram stands. They will again beat Osama.”The upcoming Bihar assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, with results scheduled for November 14. \The contest is primarily between the ruling NDA – comprising BJP, JD(U), LJP (Ram Vilas), HAM (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha – and the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, which includes Congress, CPI(ML), CPI, CPM and the Vikasheel Insaan Party.(With inputs from agencies)About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

A political rift has erupted in Darbhanga’s Gaura Bauram as RJD expelled Afzal Ali Khan for refusing to withdraw his nomination after the seat was given to VIP’s Santosh Sahni. This internal conflict could split the Muslim vote, potentially benefiting BJP’s Sujeet Kumar Singh, who claims support from various caste groups. VIP remains confident of consolidating votes against the BJP. Representative image A peculiar contest has emerged in Darbhanga’s Gaura Bauram constituency. Amid uncertainty and confusion during seat-sharing within the Mahagathbandhan, RJD had initially allotted the ticket to Afzal Ali Khan. Later, the seat was handed over to Mukesh Sahni’s VIP.

CHENNAI: The AIADMK on Monday warned of disciplinary action against those in the party if they interacted with ousted party leader V K Sasikala, even as it expelled 17 members including party spokesman V Pugazhendhi.Most of those expelled were said to have spoken to ousted former interim general secretary V K Sasikala.The AIADMK legislators’ meeting, held at the party headquarters here, which passed the unanimous resolution warning of stern action, also elected partys coordinator O Panneerselvam as deputy leader of the opposition in the assembly.AIADMK co-coordinator and former chief minister K Palaniswami was on June 10 elected as leader of the opposition.At the meeting which lasted about three hours, the AIADMK lawmakers deliberated in detail about the issue of ‘leaked phone calls’ in the social media allegedly involving Sasikala with some of the AIADMK cadres.She had purportedly said she would make a comeback to the party in the near future.”After announcing that she would stay away from politics ahead of the assembly elections, Sasikala now wants to take over the party after seeing the partys spectacular growth.This is evident from media reports of her conversation with some party members,” the resolution moved by the leaders Panneerselvam and Palaniswami said.Calling for the immediate removal of all those who spoke to Sasikala over phone, the resolution said it was already warned through a statement on May 23 that stern action would be taken against those indulging in anti-party activities.Dismissing as “drama” Sasikala’s reported telephonic conversation with its party members, AIADMK said the party can never be destroyed for the “desires of one family.””We have successfully completed Jayalalithaa’s rule by disappointing those who thought that there will be more chaos in Tamil Nadu (following Jayalalithaa’s demise)– the AIADMK-led alliance won 75 seats, defeating conspiracies and won people’s support,” the resolution said.As the main opposition party, AIADMK has 66 MLAs, it said and condemned attempts of Sasikala to reach out to some members in the party.”She is attempting to capture the party and enacting a strange drama by speaking to some over the phone,” it said.Later, in a statement, the AIADMK announced expulsion of 17 party workers for anti-party activities.The meet elected Panneerselvam as the deputy leader of the opposition in the Assembly, while former minister S P Velumani was elected the party whip.S Ravi has been chosen as deputy whip, former minister Kadambur C Raju as treasurer, former minister K P Anbalagan as secretary and P H Manoj Pandian as deputy secretary, according to a release issued by the party leaders.Post poll, apart from sitting in opposition after a decade of rule, the AIADMK is beset with the issue of alleged leaked audio tapes purportedly involving the conversation of Sasikala who took over the party following the demise of J Jayalalithaa in 2016, and some AIADMK members.Following the merger of the two factions led by Pannerselvam and Palaniswami, the AIADMK ousted Sasikala.

India and the US have signed a landmark ten-year Defence Framework Agreement, marking a new era of defense cooperation. The pact, inked by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, outlines a roadmap for enhanced military collaboration and joint initiatives across the Indo-Pacific region. NEW DELHI: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Friday met US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in Kuala Lumpur, where the two leaders signed a landmark ten-year Defence Framework Agreement, signalling what Singh described as the beginning of a “new chapter” in India-US defence cooperation. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus), where Singh is representing India.’Industry Warriors Built This Victory’: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Operation Sindoor Triumph“We have held telephonic conversations thrice. I am delighted to be meeting you in person on the sidelines of ADMM-Plus. On this occasion, I feel a new chapter will begin today with the signing of the Defence Framework. I am confident that under your leadership, India-US relations will further strengthen,” Rajnath said, as quoted by ANI.The agreement, signed in the presence of senior officials from both countries, lays out a decade-long roadmap for deeper military collaboration, capacity building, and joint initiatives across the Indo-Pacific region. Hegseth described the pact as a major step forward in the bilateral relationship. “I want to express gratitude to Minister Singh for the partnership we have with India. It’s one of the most consequential US-India relationships in the world. Our strategic alignment is built on shared interests, on mutual trust and commitment to a secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific region,” he said. “This 10-year US-India Defence Framework is ambitious. It’s a significant step for our two militaries, a roadmap for deeper and even more meaningful collaboration ahead. It underscores America’s long-term commitment to our shared security and our strong partnership.”Speaking about the meeting, Rajnath Singh later wrote in a post on X, “This Defence Framework will provide policy direction to the entire spectrum of the India-US Defence Relationship. It is a signal of our growing strategic convergence and will herald a new decade of partnership.”The meeting comes amid a broader intensification of high-level engagements between New Delhi and Washington. Earlier this week, External affairs minister S Jaishankar met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, discussing bilateral ties and regional developments. Rajnath Singh’s visit to Malaysia also includes talks with his Malaysian counterpart Khaled Nordin and participation in the ADMM-Plus summit, where discussions are centred on regional stability and counter-terrorism cooperation.

India and the US have signed a landmark ten-year Defence Framework Agreement, marking a new era of defense cooperation. The pact, inked by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, outlines a roadmap for enhanced military collaboration and joint initiatives across the Indo-Pacific region. NEW DELHI: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Friday met US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in Kuala Lumpur, where the two leaders signed a landmark ten-year Defence Framework Agreement, signalling what Singh described as the beginning of a “new chapter” in India-US defence cooperation. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus), where Singh is representing India.’Industry Warriors Built This Victory’: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Operation Sindoor Triumph“We have held telephonic conversations thrice. I am delighted to be meeting you in person on the sidelines of ADMM-Plus. On this occasion, I feel a new chapter will begin today with the signing of the Defence Framework. I am confident that under your leadership, India-US relations will further strengthen,” Rajnath said, as quoted by ANI.The agreement, signed in the presence of senior officials from both countries, lays out a decade-long roadmap for deeper military collaboration, capacity building, and joint initiatives across the Indo-Pacific region. Hegseth described the pact as a major step forward in the bilateral relationship. “I want to express gratitude to Minister Singh for the partnership we have with India. It’s one of the most consequential US-India relationships in the world. Our strategic alignment is built on shared interests, on mutual trust and commitment to a secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific region,” he said. “This 10-year US-India Defence Framework is ambitious. It’s a significant step for our two militaries, a roadmap for deeper and even more meaningful collaboration ahead. It underscores America’s long-term commitment to our shared security and our strong partnership.”Speaking about the meeting, Rajnath Singh later wrote in a post on X, “This Defence Framework will provide policy direction to the entire spectrum of the India-US Defence Relationship. It is a signal of our growing strategic convergence and will herald a new decade of partnership.”The meeting comes amid a broader intensification of high-level engagements between New Delhi and Washington. Earlier this week, External affairs minister S Jaishankar met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, discussing bilateral ties and regional developments. Rajnath Singh’s visit to Malaysia also includes talks with his Malaysian counterpart Khaled Nordin and participation in the ADMM-Plus summit, where discussions are centred on regional stability and counter-terrorism cooperation.

Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha has ordered the termination of two government teachers for their alleged involvement with Lashker e Taiba’s overground network. Ghulam Hussain and Majid Iqbal Dar, currently imprisoned, are accused of facilitating terror activities, recruitment, and financing through drug money. This action is part of a wider crackdown on the terror ecosystem in the Union Territory. Representative image NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha on Thursday ordered the termination of two J&K government teachers found by an internal enquiry to be part of Lashker e Taiba’s (LeT) overground network in Jammu division’s Reasi and Rajouri districts respectively.The two staffers — Ghulam Hussain, who joined the J&K education department in 2004 and Majid Iqbal Dar, working there since 2009 — were dismissed by invoking Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution of India as part of the ongoing, broader crackdown on the terror ecosystem within the Union territory. Nearly 77 J&K govt staffers have been given marching orders under this provision since 2020.Both Hussain and Dar are currently lodged in prison in separate terror cases.Sources in J&K govt told TOI that Hussain was posted at Govt Primary School, Kalwa, Mahore, Reasi but covertly working for LeT to strengthen its terror network in Reasi and the surrounding areas.“The evidence collected by the law enforcement and intelligence agencies has revealed that he was in touch with LeT terrorists Mohd Qasim and Ghulam Mustafa through encrypted messaging applications and was carrying out terror activities at their behest. He would receive terror funds via local conduits and pass them on to families of known terrorists for support, besides using the money for terror recruitment and logistics.Ghulam was arrested in 2023. Sources, citing investigation details, said he was a highly-radicalised terror sympathiser and involved in recruitment of youth into the terror fold.Majid Iqbal Dar was appointed as a laboratory assistant in 2009 promoted as a teacher in 2019. As per the dossier on his terror links, Dar was working for LeT as an OGW and was involved in radicalising youngsters in Rajouri and surrounding areas. Investigation revealed that Dar was engaged in narco-terror activities and maintained a close link with LeT terrorist Mod Jabar. He was a reliable asset to LeT and was using drug money to finance terror activities and radicalise gullible youth, said a source.“Dar’s terror link was exposed in January 2023 when police recovered an IED planted near J&K Bank in Rajouri. During the course of investigation, the police arrested three persons including Dar. It was later revealed that Majid, along with LeT terrorists Jabar and Zohaib Shazad, had planted the IED on the instruction of an LeT handler based in Pakistan. They had received monetary compensation via a conduit,” said an officer.Sources said Dar continues to display radical tendencies inside the prison.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.

CPI(Maoist) Odisha state committee member Ganesh Uike criticized colleague Chandranna’s surrender and denied claims of a new general secretary. Uike asserted the Naxal movement will continue despite setbacks, while police view the statement as a sign of internal crisis and disarray within the banned outfit. file photo NEW DELHI: CPI(Maoist) central committee (CC) member in charge of the banned outfit’s Odisha state committee, Ganesh Uike, has criticised his CC colleague Chandranna over his recent surrender before the Telangana police, and claimed that efforts to take the “Naxal movement” forward will continue notwithstanding the reverses over the last two years.Uike also disowned Chandranna’s claim that politburo member Devji had been chosen to succeed Basavraj as CPI(Maoist) general secretary. “This is a white lie since the central committee has not met even since general secretary Basavraj was neutralised. With the Central on an offensive against us, the conditions are still not conducive to hold a CC meeting,” Uike said in a statement issued on behalf of the CPI(Maoist) Odisha state committee.Stating that the “protracted people’s war” has encountered many hardships, including the current impasse, Uike claimed the party was trying to contain its losses and move forward. “The ‘party’ will continue to take the Naxal movement forward,” he stated.Chhattisgarh police officials, who are still verifying the authenticity of the Odisha state committee’s statement, said that if true, it concedes defeat and highlights the growing frustration and deep crisis/chasm within the Maoist ranks.“After the recent surrender of politburo member Sonu and CC members Rupesh and Chandranna, the Maoist leadership is shaken. To save face, it is resorting to falsehoods and hollow rhetoric about ‘continuing the revolution’. These empty words can no longer disguise the truth — that the outfit is in complete disarray, morally bankrupt and strategically cornered across all affected states,” Bastar range IGP P Sunderraj told TOI.“The Maoist leadership’s attempt to brand committed cadres who chose peace as ‘traitors’ only reveals their insecurity and helplessness. The latest statement, if authentic, exposes that Devji no longer enjoys authority even within the fragmented and weakened Maoist outfit,” he added.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.
