**Massive Fire Erupts on Jaipur-Ajmer Highway After Chemical Tanker Collides with LPG Truck**
Jaipur (Rajasthan): Late Tuesday night, a tanker carrying chemicals rammed into a truck loaded with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders near Sawarda Puliya in Mauzamabad tehsil, Rajasthan. The collision triggered a massive fire on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway and brought traffic to a complete halt.
According to IG Rahul Prakash, several trucks and trailers were parked near a dhaba when the chemical-laden tanker collided with one of the trucks. The LPG cylinders in the truck burst upon impact, and the tanker also caught fire.
“There are no reports of serious injuries, and no one is expected to have been critically hurt. A few drivers and helpers suffered minor injuries and have been taken to hospital,” IG Prakash stated.
Authorities are taking steps to prevent trucks from parking on roadsides in the future. “We are enforcing measures to stop parking on roadsides, and trucks will no longer be allowed to park here. Steps to prevent such accidents will be implemented moving forward,” added IG Prakash.
Following the incident, Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa visited the site, where police, administration, and fire department teams continue to manage relief and rescue operations.
Speaking to ANI, Deputy CM Bairwa said that the truck driver and conductor were rushed to the hospital. He added, “The driver of the vehicle involved in the accident is yet to be identified. No casualties have been reported. The administration is working diligently.”
More details about the incident are awaited.
This is not the first such accident on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway. In December last year, a truck loaded with chemicals collided with a tanker carrying LPG and other vehicles, resulting in a massive fire. That tragic incident claimed at least seven lives and left several people severely injured, with many suffering burns covering over 50 percent of their bodies.

A Russian lawmaker has claimed that a civil war is brewing in America, while calling Donald Trump “dumb.” Andrey Lugovoy, a member of the State Duma—the lower chamber of Russia’s parliament—argued that Moscow should take advantage of the deep divisions between Republicans and Democrats to cause a government shutdown.
In a staggering appearance on Russian state TV, Lugovoy said the differences between the two US political parties have reached a point where they are impossible to resolve, and suggested that the Kremlin should interfere. He stated that he does not consider claims of an impending civil war in America to be a conspiracy theory.
Referring to the Republicans and Democrats, Lugovoy said: “They’re currently using political repressions against each other in the most proactive way… Secondly, they will never agree about migration, we’ve heard it from their statements. Of course, we should take advantage of this unsolvable problem.”
He went on to accuse the US of meddling in Russian affairs and argued that Moscow should adopt a more politically aggressive stance.
Lugovoy is a former KGB officer suspected by the UK of involvement in the 2006 murder of ex-Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in London. Litvinenko died after ingesting radioactive polonium-210, which was believed to have been administered in a cup of tea. Lugovoy has dismissed these accusations as “absurd.”
During his appearance on the state TV show *60 Minutes*, Lugovoy suggested that Russia could be more politically aggressive through outlets like its controlled news channel, Russia Today. Representing the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia—a party considered part of the country’s systemic opposition—he claimed Moscow should buy journalists and politicians abroad.
“We should plant our people into US domestic life,” Lugovoy said, adding that he was “deeply convinced” of placing operatives within the Democratic Party. “We should further pit them [Republicans and Democrats] against each other. We should take advantage of their existing differences. We should drive them not only to an economic shutdown, but a political one. We shouldn’t be shy about it.”
He continued: “They often accuse us of interfering in their elections; we say that we aren’t, we really aren’t, but we should interfere. We are developing our propagandist activities — I mean it in a positive sense — in Europe and America. We should intensify it even more.”
Commentators and guests on Russian state TV often share anti-Western messages. Earlier in his appearance, Lugovoy criticized the US President by saying that Trump “says whatever pops into his head,” and added, “Mr. Trump says things that are obviously dumb from every standpoint.”

The southwest monsoon 2025 commenced its withdrawal by mid-September. It is now time to evaluate its performance and examine the harvest prospects of key crops across the country.
### Rainfall Overview
The good news is that, as forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), India has enjoyed above-normal rainfall this season. Between June 1 and September 27, the country received 922 mm of rainfall, which is 8 percent above the normal level.
However, the distribution of rainfall was uneven. While east and northeast India—mainly Bihar and Assam—suffered a 19 percent rainfall deficiency, the northwest regions, primarily Punjab and Rajasthan, experienced a 28 percent surplus. Central India received 13 percent above-normal rainfall, and the southern peninsula saw an 11 percent surplus.
### Impact on Agriculture
Although the total quantum of rainfall during the season is important, the temporal and spatial distribution is critical for agriculture. August and September witnessed excessive precipitation in some parts of the country such as Punjab, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Rajasthan. This has reportedly inflicted crop damage.
There have been reports regarding adverse impacts on paddy and pulse crops, but the full extent of damage is still under assessment. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that excessive rains have impacted crop quality.
Below is an assessment of the likely harvest size of key Kharif crops. The forecast production numbers are presented as ranges, with planted area data as of September 26.
—
### Rice
The production target for rice this season is 123 million metric tonnes (MMT). The normal planted area, based on a five-year average, is 40.3 million hectares (ml ha). This year, the planted area was slightly higher at 44.2 ml ha, compared to last year’s 43.6 ml ha.
The rice crop is estimated to yield between 123 and 125 MMT, up from 121.8 MMT in 2024. Rice stocks in the country remain well above the buffer norm, and export restrictions have been lifted.
—
### Maize
The production target for maize is 26 MMT. Planted area expanded significantly this season to 9.5 ml ha, up from 8.8 ml ha last year, following increased demand for ethanol production driven by the government’s biofuel blending programme.
The maize harvest is expected to be in the range of 26 to 27 MMT, higher than the 24.8 MMT produced during the last Kharif season.
—
### Pulses
This protein-rich legume has faced challenges this year. The production target was reduced from 9.5 MMT in 2024 to 8.0 MMT in 2025. Planted area has also declined by one million hectares to 12.0 ml ha, down from a five-year average of 13 ml ha, as growers shifted to more remunerative crops like maize due to poor returns.
Despite satisfactory initial rains, excessive rainfall in August in pockets of Maharashtra and Karnataka damaged crops. Consequently, production is expected to decline to between 6.7 and 7.0 MMT, well below even the reduced target.
To augment availability and keep prices in check, imports of pigeon pea (tur/arhar) and black matpe (urad) have been allowed duty-free until March 2026.
—
### Oilseeds
Key Kharif oilseeds include soybean and groundnut, along with smaller quantities of sesamum, niger seed, sunflower seed, and castor seed.
The soybean planted area has decreased to 12 ml ha this season, down one million hectares from last year. However, satisfactory rainfall over the soy belt in Madhya Pradesh, Vidharba in Maharashtra, and parts of Rajasthan is expected to result in decent yields.
Soybean production is forecasted between 12.0 and 12.5 MMT, falling significantly short of the 16.2 MMT target. It is widely recognized that the government’s 2024 estimate of 15.2 MMT was overstated by 15 to 20 percent. Effectively, soybean production has seen little change.
In the case of groundnut, the main growing region of Gujarat received excellent rainfall, likely leading to improved yields. The overall production size is projected to be between 11 and 12 MMT, higher than the target of 10.5 MMT and last Kharif’s 10.4 MMT.
—
### Cotton
Cotton, a multipurpose crop used for fibre, food, and feed, has been losing acreage over the past three years. This season, the planted area has decreased to 11.0 ml ha, down from 11.3 ml ha last year and well below the five-year average of 12.9 ml ha.
Excessive rains in key cotton-growing states such as Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Punjab, coupled with pest infestations, have resulted in crop losses. The government revised the production target down from last year’s 35 million bales (170 kg each) to 33.5 million bales for 2025.
Despite this, the harvest is estimated to be between 29.5 and 30.5 million bales, falling short of even the reduced target. Last year, production stood at 30.7 million bales. Crop quality is also likely to be compromised.
India has now become a net importer of raw cotton, and free imports are allowed until December 31, 2025. For 2025-26, imports are forecast at 3.5 to 4.0 million bales.
—
### Sugarcane
Sugarcane planted area has steadily expanded and stands at 5.9 ml ha for the 2025-26 sugar year, up from 5.7 ml ha last year and the five-year average of 5.2 ml ha.
Compared with the cane production target of 469 MMT and the 2024 production of 450 MMT, this year’s output could decline to between 440 and 460 MMT due to excessive rainfall in growing areas of Maharashtra and Karnataka.
The government has lifted the December 2023 restriction on diverting cane for ethanol production. After accounting for this diversion, sugar production in 2025-26 is likely to be around 30 MMT, slightly less than last year.
—
### Looking Ahead
Rains continued in southern and western parts of the country through the end of September, potentially causing more damage and delaying damage assessments. However, the continuing rains are expected to improve soil moisture, benefiting the Rabi planting season, including major crops such as wheat, rapeseed/mustard, and chickpea, which typically commence in late October.
Reservoir storage levels are satisfactory and higher than last year’s, providing a positive outlook for irrigation.
Given the combined production prospects of Kharif crops, ample public stocks of wheat and rice with government agencies, and a liberal import policy for pulses and edible oil, the risk to food inflation is tilted not to the upside, but potentially to the downside.
If Rabi crop prospects prove satisfactory, food prices may remain consumer-friendly. Nevertheless, weather conditions in the coming months will be a critical factor to watch.

**Donald Trump Reveals His Thoughts on Heaven and Religion in Bizarre Moment**
*Published Oct. 7, 2025, 3:45 p.m. ET*
Donald Trump has shared his unconventional views on heaven and the purpose of life on earth in a recent interview, RadarOnline.com can reveal. On Monday, October 6, the 79-year-old former president was asked about his presidential prayer initiative planned for the nation’s 250th anniversary next year. His response offered insight into his beliefs about religion and God.
### What Did Trump Say About Heaven?
“You know, there’s no reason to be good,” Trump told reporters. “I wanna be good because you wanna prove to God you’re good so you go to that next step, right?”
“That’s very important to me. I think it’s really, very important,” he added.
His comments came in response to questions about the new “America Prays” initiative by the White House, which invites America’s great religious communities to pray for the nation and its people. Trump explained his perspective on the role of faith in a country:
“I’ve felt for a long time that if a country doesn’t have religion, doesn’t have faith, doesn’t have God, it’s gonna be very hard to be a good country.”
### Trump’s Plan to Get into Heaven Revealed
Trump has never been shy about discussing heaven and spirituality. In August, during an interview with Fox & Friends, he stated that the only way he would “see the pearly gates” after death is if he ends Russia’s war against Ukraine.
When asked about reports that he had reached out to Russian President Vladimir Putin amid a summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, Trump veered into a reflection on the afterlife.
“If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s a pretty… I want to try and get to heaven if possible,” he said. He also admitted that his controversial behavior has made his place in heaven uncertain.
“I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons,” he explained.
He also cited other reasons he believes God might allow him into heaven rather than condemning him:
“Well, I think I saved a lot of lives with India-Pakistan; they were going at it,” Trump said. “Planes were being shot down; that was maybe going to be a nuclear war if I let that go.”
### Trump’s Comments Raise Questions About His Mental State
Some observers believe Trump may be suffering from dementia, which could explain some of his recent confusing remarks.
During a speech at the US Navy’s 250th anniversary celebration in Norfolk, Virginia, Trump claimed he had warned the government about Osama bin Laden a full year before the September 11 terrorist attacks.
After praising the Navy SEALs for taking down bin Laden, Trump asserted, “And please remember I wrote about Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, ‘You got to watch Osama bin Laden.’ And the fake news would never let me get away with that statement unless it was true.”
He appeared to be referencing his 2000 book *The America We Deserve*, which he co-wrote with Dave Shiflett. However, there is no warning about bin Laden included in the book.
Trump continued, “I can tell you there’s a page in there devoted to the fact that I saw somebody named Osama bin Laden and I didn’t like it, and you’ve gotta take care of him.”
“They didn’t do it. A year later, he blew up the World Trade Center. So, (I) gotta take a little credit because nobody else is going to give it to me. You know the old story: If they don’t give you credit, just take it yourself.”
