Glad to have had a productive telephone conversation with President Zelenskyy. We reviewed our wide-ranging bilateral cooperation and agreed to further strengthen India-Ukraine ties.

I thanked President Zelenskyy for sharing his perspectives on the ongoing conflict, its humanitarian aspects and various efforts to restore peace. Reiterated India’s firm commitment to contributing in every possible way towards a peaceful resolution.

Theoretical Computer Science Meets Its AI Moment

The day after OpenAI dropped a bombshell about "a solution to the Navier–Stokes existence and
smoothness problem," 32 theoretical computer scientists met for a 2-day closed door meeting (that had been planned for months) at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, to discuss and debate their field's response to AI. In this issue of the @SimonsInstitute's annual magazine, Polynomial Times, is my report of that meeting. Read the article and the entire issue here: https://t.co/AE4ufScFk9

“I don’t want to be just sitting there for two years vetoing everything.”

President Donald Trump picked up a call from @DashaBurns on POLITICO Elections Live and talked to us about the blue wave and how he’s willing to work with incoming congressional Democrats.

Update (1:30 PM, 3rd November 2026):

Following an examination by the plastic surgery and ortho teams, the girl child was successfully taken off ventilator support and is stable in the PICU. She is awake, responsive, and tolerating feeds well. High-flow oxygen support is being gradually tapered, and physical & chest physiotherapy begins today. We are ensuring she receives the best possible care for a full recovery.

The fire at Surat's Khajod dumping site on Sunday is worrying for people who live and work nearby.

Discarded plastic sheets from the textile industry's hotfix process fuelled the blaze. Plastic waste of this kind must be collected and disposed of safely.

As Minister of Environment and Forests, I had framed rules covering all types of waste, including hazardous, biomedical and municipal solid waste. The law is in place, and it must be followed. I urge the authorities and the industry to find a lasting solution.

@pjnjmj @Anandstweets Same issue my wife experienced recently

[CM of Karnataka @CMofKarnataka]

ಚಾರ್‌ಧಾಮ್ ಯಾತ್ರೆ ಕೈಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ತರಾಖಂಡದ ಚಮೋಲಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಜೋಶಿಮಠ ಸಮೀಪ ಬದರಿನಾಥದಿಂದ ಡೆಹ್ರಾಡೂನ್‌ಗೆ ತೆರಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಹೆಲಿಕಾಪ್ಟರ್ ಪತನಗೊಂಡು, ದೆಹಲಿ ಮೂಲದ ಪೈಲಟ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಐವರು ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರು ಮೃತಪಟ್ಟಿರುವ ಸುದ್ದಿ ತೀವ್ರ ಆಘಾತ ಹಾಗೂ ದುಃಖವನ್ನುಂಟು ಮಾಡಿದೆ.

ಈ ದುರಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಾಣ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡ ಕ್ಯಾಪ್ಟನ್ ಹಿಮಾಂಶು, ಸಿಸಿಬಿ ಇನ್ಸ್‌ಪೆಕ್ಟರ್ ಅರುಣ್ ಸಾಲಂಕೆ, ಪ್ರತಾಪ್ ಬಿ. ನಿಂಗರಾಜು, ಶಂಕರಗೌಡ ವಿ.ಬಿ., ಸುಧೀರ್ ಕೆ. ಹಾಗೂ ಹೆಚ್‌.ಎಸ್‌. ನಟರಾಜು ಅವರ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಚಿರಶಾಂತಿ ದೊರೆಯಲಿ. ಅಗಲಿದವರ ಕುಟುಂಬಸ್ಥರಿಗೆ ಈ ಅಪಾರ ನೋವನ್ನು ಭರಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಭಗವಂತ ಕರುಣಿಸಲಿ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.

ಇನ್ನು ಮೃತದೇಹಗಳನ್ನು ಆದಷ್ಟು ಬೇಗ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕಕ್ಕೆ ತರಲು ಉತ್ತರಾಖಂಡದ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತುಕತೆ ನಡೆಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ಈ ದುಃಖದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೃತರ ಕುಟುಂಬಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ನಿಂತಿದೆ. ಓಂ ಶಾಂತಿ.
