Following the customary all-party meeting on the eve of the Parliament’s winter session commencing Monday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rijiju told reporters that the government has appealed to all the parties to ensure smooth conduct of business in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Forty-two leaders from 30 parties attended the meeting, which was chaired by senior BJP leader and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. On Congress’ demand to hold discussions on the Adani issue on “priority” apart from a host of other matters, including the Manipur unrest, Rijiju said the business advisory committees of the two Houses will take a call on the subjects of parliamentary business with the consent of the Lok Sabha speaker and the Rajya Sabha chairman. Raising the matter at the meeting, Congress’ Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, dubbed the Adani issue as a scam, saying the government should not reject or ignore their demand on any “technicality” as it concerns Indian institutions and investors. Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, whose conglomerate includes a host of companies covering power to ports sectors, has been charged by US prosecutors for allegedly being part of a scheme to pay USD 265 million (about Rs 2,200 crore) bribe to Indian officials in exchange of favorable terms for solar power contracts in four Indian states. The Adani Group has denied the charge, saying the allegations leveled by the US prosecutors are baseless and that the conglomerate complies with all laws. Congress leader Pramod Tiwari also said the government should set aside other businesses to discuss the issue on priority. It is a grave issue involving the country’s economic and security interests, as over Rs 2,300 crore was allegedly paid by the company to politicians and bureaucrats to get favourable deals for its solar energy projects, the Rajya Sabha MP said. Raising the Manipur violence, Gogoi said the ruling dispensation jailed the Jharkhand chief minister (Hemant Soren) and made changes in Jammu and Kashmir for a variety of reasons, but kept its faith in Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh despite his alleged involvement in violence. The matter must be debated in Parliament, he said. The winter session is scheduled to be held from November 25 to December 20. At the meeting, two BJP allies from Adnhra Pradesh—the Telugu Desam Party and the Jana Sena Party—raised the issue of pending implementation of the promises made during the division of the state in 2014 under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, saying the Parliament should know their present status. “We want the government to put the status on record,” TDP leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu told PTI, noting that while some promises have been fulfilled and some are being taken up, a few still remain unfulfilled. Jana Sena leader Balashowry Vallabhaneni spoke on similar lines. The Polavaram irrigation project has come to a standstill, Devarayalu said, adding that the Parliament must also discuss disaster management as so many southern cities are getting affected due to heavy downpours triggered by climate change. Asked about his party’s stand on the Adani issue, Devarayalu said more details need to come out but added that his party does not want the state’s brand image to be harmed. The meeting was attended by BJP President J P Nadda, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, DMK’s Tiruchi Siva, Akali Dal’s Harsimrat Kaur Badal and LJP (Ram Vilas) MP Arun Bharti, among others. Siva asked the Centre to withdraw the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which the government is keen to table in the session despite opposition by several Muslim organisations. Bharti raised the issue of Bihar being hit frequently by floods and sought a relief package, besides demanding that the lateral entry provision should be given a constitutional status to safeguard the interests of SCs and STs. The government has listed 16 bills for consideration in the Winter Session. The bills pending in the Lok Sabha include the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which has been listed for consideration and passage after a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) of the two Houses submits its report on it to the Lower House. The panel is mandated to submit its report on the last day of the first week of the Winter session. The opposition members in the panel are demanding an extension in the timeline to submit its report. Accusing the JPC Chairman and BJP MP Jagdambika Pal of bulldozing the committee’s meetings, the opposition members sought the intervention of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. Commenting on the matter, Rijiju said there is a provision to extend the tenure of the JPC but as of now, there have been no discussions on it. He also underlined that the business advisory committee of the Lok Sabha is the right platform to discuss the issue of extending the JPC’s timeline. . As many as eight bills, including the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill, are pending in the Lok Sabha. According to a Lok Sabha bulletin, two bills are pending with the Rajya Sabha. A Rajya Sabha bulletin said an additional bill — The Bharatiya Vayuyan Vidheyak — passed by the Lok Sabha is pending with the Upper House. A set of proposed bills to implement simultaneous elections in the country are not part of the list yet, though some reports suggested that the government is likely to bring the proposed legislation in the coming session.

A spokesperson said, “Fourteen teams took part in Friends of Hospice’s fifth annual Ladies Golf Tournament, playing 18 holes at Turtle Bay. “The annual event, which is a celebration of women’s partnership and friendship as well as a major fundraiser from Friends of Hospice, has grown in popularity and creativity each year. ‘Butterflies and Bees’ was the chosen theme for the latest event and the golfers embraced it with gusto, dressing in florals and bug inspired outfits and decking out their golf carts festively. “Funds raised will go towards Friends of Hospice’s programmes, which support those requiring hospice and palliative care along with their loved ones. The event was made possible by its sponsors: Chubb, Everen, Markel, Lindo’s and Gosling’s. “The top three winning teams were Markel’s Guardians of the Greens [Ebonie Cox, Dominique Richardson, Tiye Williams and Linda O’Brien] in first place, followed by with Dolly’s B&B’s [Shirley Higgins, Caroline Svensen, Sandy Dyer and Michelle Quinlan] placing second and Chubb’s Ms. Bee-Hiven [Sarah Walsh, Leigh Ann Hobday, Erin Cooney and Olivia Bachelet] coming third. The closest to the pin award went to Ms Bee-Hiven’s Sarah Walsh, on hole #2, jointly with Guardians of the Greens’ Ebonie Cox, who claimed hole #11. “Outside of performance prizes, Arch Re’s Queen Bee Flutter Bies [Tanisha Taylor, Wolette Smith, Phillipa Jones and Shakira Jones] were dubbed the Best Dressed Team while the Markel’s Guardians of the Greens took home the award for Best Decorated Cart. Argo’s Pollination Infiltration were recognised for their extraordinary team building skills during a warm-up game of marshmallow tower. Chubb’s Ms. Bee-Hiven’s Sarah Walsh was the lucky winner of the Butterfly or Bee activity.” Jennifer Mahoney, Executive Director of the Friends of Hospice, said, “We are so grateful to have had so many members of the community show up to support Friends of Hospice’s Fifth Annual Ladies’ Golf Tournament. This is a hugely fun event and an important fundraiser for our programmes supporting those in need of hospice or palliative care, as well as their loved ones. :We also want to give a big thank you to our sponsors, who make these fundraising events possible.” : , , ,The University of Maine held a ground-breaking ceremony for its new outdoor track, soccer and basketball facilities on Saturday. The new soccer facility and outdoor track should be ready sometime next October while the multi-purpose Morse Arena, which will be home to the two basketball programs, has a target date of the 2027-28 season, according to University of Maine Athletic Director Jude Killy. A $170 million gift from the Harold Alfond Foundation for facilities upgrades and other multi-million dollar donations are paying for the construction. New Balance Athletics donated $7 million toward the track and soccer field and Phil and Susan Morse provided a $10 million commitment for the multi-purpose arena. Killy said construction on the track and soccer fields is expected to begin right after Thanksgiving and the entire project will cost “a little bit north of $20 million.” The track will not circle the soccer field. They will be separate venues with the soccer field oriented north and south behind Mahaney Diamond while the track will run east to west behind the field hockey facility, according to Killy. “We hope to have the track operational in some capacity next fall and be ready for the spring of 2026 and we are shooting for the soccer field to be ready in October but I have no idea whether it will be Oct. 1 or Oct. 30,” said Killy. “We’d like to play as many home games as possible.” The reigning two-time America East women’s soccer championship team has been playing on Mahaney Diamond for several years. It will have a press box, scoreboard, lights and seating for 500 which include chairback and bleacher seats. A new field hockey facility and softball complex have already been built in the past three years with money from the Harold Alfond Foundation gift. The Morse Arena should be ready during the 2027-28 season but Killy said he would love to see it be open for the start of the campaign. Both basketball teams currently play in the antiquated Memorial Gym, which was built in 1933. Killy said the new arena will cost in the vicinity of $80 million and will seat approximately 2,500. “We are currently in the schematic design phase for the arena,” said Killy. Killy noted that the $45 million renovation to Alfond Arena has been going along well and he is hoping that will be completed by the end of the 2025 calendar year. Killy said he feels grateful to all the donors who have come forward to improve the facilities at UMaine and to UMaine System Chancellor Dannel Malloy and President Joan Ferrini-Mundy and the UMaine Board of Trustees for their support. “Everybody is aligned about what we want from athletics and how it can help the university,” said Killy. “I feel really fortunate to have them believe in us and support us.”Laurie Anderson: Ark: United States V review – a long and winding bid to make sense of America
