Govt eyes bumper foodgrain output
New Delhi: India is likely to achieve a new record in foodgrain production during the 2025-26 kharif season starting next month, buoyed by forecasts of above-normal monsoon rains, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said. In an interview with PTI, Chouhan also called for stringent laws to curb the sale of fake and substandard pesticides, and better implementation of soil health cards to ensure balanced fertiliser use. The minister, who is leading a 15-day nationwide Viksit Krishi Abhiyan (Developed Agriculture Campaign) across the country, said the outreach programme ahead of kharif sowing would help refine policies and research plans to boost agricultural production. According to the agriculture ministry's third estimate, India's foodgrain production hit a record 168.06 million tonnes in the 2024-25 kharif season. Kharif foodgrain output has risen 31.23 per cent since 2014-15. During visits to 10 states so far, the minister said he learned from farmers that existing crop varieties in some areas have developed resistance to emerging pests. Farmers also raised concerns about fake pesticides and sought greater protection during price crashes. Research plans and policies for short, medium and long-term implementation will be developed based on these inputs, he said. As farmers prepare their fields for kharif sowing, Chouhan said, farmers complained about substandard pesticides in the market. 'We need to frame a stringent law to address this. Now they get away with paying some penalty. We should come out with a strict law to punish those engaged in selling poor/substandard pesticides,' he said. On pulses and oilseed production, the minister said output has improved, but India still has far to go to achieve self-reliance and reduce import dependency. The government is working with a mission approach, distributing better quality seeds and educating farmers on best practices while ensuring procurement. These efforts will be intensified to address yield gaps, he added.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder: Raj Kushwaha drove people to Raja Raghuvanshi's funeral, says eyewitness
Raj Kushwaha, one of the accused arrested for Raja Raghuvanshi's murder in Meghalaya and Sonam Kushwaha's alleged lover, drove a vehicle to transport people to the victim's funeral, said an eyewitness. On Monday, the murder of Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi took a dramatic turn following a series of arrests. Among those arrested are Raja's wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, who has been accused by the Meghalaya police of orchestrating his murder. One of the people who went to attend Raja Raghuvanshi's funeral, Lakshman Singh Rathore, said Kushwaha, Sonam's alleged boyfriend, had driven the vehicle arranged by her family. "When Raja's body arrived here, Sonam's family, whose home is in Govind Nagar Kharcha area, had arranged four-five vehicles for people to attend the funeral. Kushwaha was driving the four-wheeler in which I went, though we did not talk. Only after seeing his photograph in the media post his arrest, I recollected this episode,' reported PTI. Also read: UP cop says 'poor planner' Sonam Raghuvanshi presented herself as victim: 'Claimed she was drugged' Sonam and Raja Raghuvanshi got married on May 11 and went for their honeymoon in Meghalaya just days later. On May 23, the couple went missing, prompting search operations for both of them. However, on June 2, Raja's body was recovered in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. Also read: Meghalaya murder: How a couple's first trip to the hills set the stage for a killing Out of the four men arrested in connection with Raja's murder, one was arrested from Uttar Pradesh and the other two from Madhya Pradesh's Indore. 'The first person arrested was Rajput from Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh. The second was Chauhan from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The third was Kushwaha, also from Indore," East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem said at a press conference in Shillong on Monday. Sonam was arrested from a dhaba in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur on Monday, where she allegedly attempted to mislead UP police by claiming that she had been brought to Ghazipur after being drugged. She is accused of conspiring with Kushwaha to murder her husband. 'Kushwaha was in contact with the killers for some weeks,' said an Indore police officer, who is aware of the questioning of Raj Kushwaha and Chauhan. The three hired killers, the officer said, left Indore for Meghalaya on May 17 with ₹50,000 and a mobile phone provided by Kushwaha. Once there, they allegedly chose a spot to kill Raghuvanshi and dispose of his body. Sonam's family, however, has denied her involvement in the murder and has asked for a CBI inquiry into the matter.
