Parnika India

Parnika India, a distinguished leader in the manufacturing & global export of exquisite women’s ethnic wear based out of Surat and a strong proponent of inclusive entrepreneurship, has further strengthened its social impact initiative through its Women Support Program, a dedicated effort to empower women entrepreneurs, especially those looking to build businesses from home. The initiative has already enabled over 10,000 women across India to begin their entrepreneurial journeys with minimal investment and maximum support.

Launched with the core mission of making women self-reliant and confident in their business pursuits, the Women Support Program offers comprehensive training in areas such as business development, time management, social media marketing, and digital customer engagement. These modules are specially curated to help homemakers, working mothers, and aspiring entrepreneurs operate flexible, home-based ventures with ease and confidence.

“As manufacturers, we have a unique opportunity to extend wholesale pricing and low-investment business models to women who wish to start from scratch. Our model ensures healthy profit margins even with minimal capital, allowing women to start lean but scale effectively. We’ve seen homemakers evolve into confident business owners with steady monthly incomes; their stories are a testament to what’s possible when intent meets the right opportunity,” said Vishal Pacheriwal, Managing Director of Parnika India.

To further assist these entrepreneurs, Parnika India provides a robust set of marketing tools, including professionally designed digital creatives, ready-to-use product catalogs, WhatsApp message templates, and content for social media promotions. These resources simplify the go-to-market process, making it easier for women to focus on selling and building customer relationships.

The measurable impacts of the program have been notable: improved digital literacy, greater financial independence, and increased social influence. Many participants have gone on to become local role models, encouraging other women in their communities to pursue entrepreneurship.

Looking ahead, Parnika India plans to expand the reach of the Women Support Program to empower over 100,000 women entrepreneurs by 2030. The initiative aligns with the company’s broader mission to make entrepreneurship accessible regardless of location, background, or financial resources.

Tata Memorial Centre Launches MenCan Initiative to Address Men’s Cancers

By
The CSR Journal
-

Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) proudly unveils MenCan, an innovative initiative by the Urologic Oncology Disease Management Group (URO DMG) focused on improving the lives of men affected by prostate, penile, and testicular cancers.

Rising Incidence of Men’s Cancers in India

According to the latest data from the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO) 2022, the incidence of prostate cancer is on the rise in India, with an expected 12.6 new cases per 100,000 people, adjusted for age. In 2025, India is projected to see approximately 41,736 new cases of prostate cancer. Testicular cancer is also on the rise, expected to reach 4,640 cases by 2025, while penile cancer is projected to account for 11,264 new cases in the same year.

Globally, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and ranks as the 12th most common in India.It predominantly affects men aged 50 to 64. The Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI), published in 2020, forecasts a 10.9% increase in the elderly population (aged 60 and above), from 8.6% to 19.5%, by 2050.

With this aging population, the number of elderly men at risk for developing prostate cancer is also expected to rise. A recent Lancet Commission report has highlighted similar concerns. In India, nearly 40-50% of prostate cancer cases are detected in the metastatic or advanced stage, compared to just <10% in the USA and European continent.

Testicular cancertypically affects younger men (ages 14 to 44), and has one of the highest survival rates, even in advanced stages. This disease is rarer in India compared to the western countries.

On the other hand, India has the highest incidence of penile cancer globally, with 10,443 new cases registered in 2022. In urban India, the age-adjusted incidence of penile cancer ranges from 0.7 to 2.3 cases per 100,000 men, one of the highest rates worldwide.

Incidence in TMC & Need for Initiative

At TMC, the number of new prostate cancer cases has risen significantly. In 2021, there were 700 new prostate cancer diagnoses, while in 2023, this number increased to 900. Additionally, TMC addresses approximately 150 cases of penile cancer and 250 cases of testicular cancer annually.

Given the rising incidence of these cancers with many men often unaware of the risks or hesitant to seek medical help, it is crucial to implement initiatives focused on public education, and research.

The Need for Action

With TMC being one of India’s leading institutions dedicated to cancer care, research, and education, there is an urgent need to combat the growing burden of male cancers. Increased efforts in early, public awareness campaigns and advancing research are essential to addressing these health challenges and improving the outcomes for men affected by these cancers.

MenCan- A Lifeline for Men and Their Families

MenCan is a nonprofit and non-commercial initiative dedicated to address the challenges of these cancers that are often neglected but significantly impact men’s lives. “MenCan Initiative is an important step in tackling the rising incidence of cancer in men.

Through this program, we aim to educate men on the signs and symptoms of common cancers, the importance of regular health check-ups, and the various methods that can detect cancers at an early, more treatable stage,” said Dr. Amit Joshi at Tata Memorial Hospital.

Tata Memorial Centre’s (TMC) MenCan initiative has made significant strides in improving male cancer care in India through impactful activities and programs.

Key Focus Areas of MenCan:

  • Awareness and Education: Conduct educational programs and awareness campaigns to increase public understanding of male cancers, aiming to normalize discussions around men’s health.

  • Prevention and Early Detection: Organizing health camps, and educational programs to encourage preventive measures.

  • Patient Support and Advocacy: Offer emotional, psychological, and financial assistance to patients. In the last six months, the initiative has disbursed substantial funds to support essential treatment needs.

  • Survivorship and Rehabilitation: Provide long-term recovery and quality of life support through a specialised Survivorship clinic in TMC.

  • Research and Development: Facilitate pragmatic and practice-changing research to improve treatment outcomes in these men’s cancers.

MenCan’s Initiatives for Cancer Survivors

  • MenCan has hosted survivorship meetings for penile and testicular cancer survivors.

  • Launched MenCan Care, a virtual support group for patients and caregivers.

  • Established a Men’s Cancer Confidential Helpline (8451009760) to provide guidance and emotional support.

  • Development of India’s first campus navigation app to help patients navigate the 60 acre ACTREC campus.

  • MenCan intends to build a social media presence to spread awareness about men’s cancers.

  • MenCan aims to expand its operations to all Tata Memorial Centres across India, ensuring its support benefits a larger population of men battling cancer.

  • Mr. Shaan’s association with MenCan adds strength and visibility to our mission of building a healthier future for men.

Call to Action

“MenCan is more than just an initiative; it’s a beacon of hope for men facing these challenges. We urge everyone to join us in this fight by spreading awareness, supporting our efforts, and contributing to this cause.” says Dr Gagan Prakash, Prof. of Uro Surgery, TMC.

पीएम मोदी के एक्शन से बौखलाया पाकिस्तान, भारत के लिए बंद किया एयरस्पेस

PM Modi warns Pakistan
PM Modi warns Pakistan
Pahalgam Attack: पहलगाम में हुए आतंकी हमले के बाद लगातार हो रही बैठकों और भारत के कड़े रुख से पाकिस्तान घबराया हुआ है। CCS की बैठक में भारत ने पहले ही अटारी चेक पोस्ट बंद करने और पाकिस्तानी नागरिकों को भारत छोड़ने के लिए कह दिया है। अब बौखलाहट में पाकिस्तान ने भी भारतीय एयरलाइंस के लिए अपने एयरस्पेस को बंद कर दिया है। Pahalgam Attack-पहलगाम में हुए आतंकी हमले के बाद भारत सरकार कुछ बड़ा एक्शन लेने की तैयारी में है। अब बौखलाहट में पाकिस्तान ने भी भारतीय एयरलाइंस के लिए अपने एयरस्पेस को बंद कर दिया है। इसका मतलब ये हुआ कि अब भारत की कोई भी एयरलाइन पाकिस्तान के एयरस्पेस का इस्तेमाल कर नहीं उड़ पाएगी।

पाकिस्तान ने बंद किया अपना एयर स्पेस

Pahalgam Attack: पाकिस्तान ने भारत से आने-जाने वाली कमर्शियल फ्लाइट्स के लिए अपना एयर स्पेस बंद कर दिया है। पाकिस्तान की शहबाज सरकार के अनुसार, अब भारतीय फ्लाइट्स को पाकिस्तानी एयर स्पेस में प्रवेश की अनुमति नहीं होगी। Indus Water Treaty को निलंबित करने और राजनयिक संबंधों को कम करने के भारत के फैसले से पाकिस्तान की जान हलक में आ गई है। पाकिस्तानी पीएम शहबाज शरीफ ने गुरुवार (24  अप्रैल 2025) को उच्च स्तरीय सुरक्षा बैठक भी बुलाई। पाकिस्तान के डिप्टी पीएम इशाक डार ने बुधवार देर रात एक निजी टेलीविजन चैनल से बात करते हुए भारत के एक्शन को जल्दबाजी में लिया गया फैसला बताया था। पहलगाम हमले के बाद जेद्दा से तत्काल वापस लौटते हुए PM Narendra Modi का विमान पाकिस्तान के हवाई क्षेत्र से नहीं गुजरा और उसने दूसरा रास्ता चुना। इससे पहले मंगलवार (22 अप्रैल 2025) को जेद्दा जाते समय पीएम का विमान पाकिस्तान के हवाई क्षेत्र से होकर गुजरा था।

 Pahalgam Attack के बाद PM मोदी का PAK को कड़ा संदेश

Pahalgam Attack: पहलगाम हमले के बाद जेद्दा से तत्काल वापस लौटते हुए PM Modi का विमान पाकिस्तान के हवाई क्षेत्र से नहीं गुजरा और उसने दूसरा रास्ता चुना। पीएम के इस कदम को पाकिस्तान को कड़ा संदेश देने के रूप में देख जा   रहा है। पहलगाम हमले के बाद सऊदी अरब से लौटते हुए पीएम मोदी ने पाकिस्तान को कड़ा संदेश दिया है। पीएम मोदी का ये कदम अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर एक बड़ी चेतावनी की तरह देखा जा रहा है, जहां पीएम ने पाकिस्तान को साफ संदेश दिया है कि आतंकियों का समर्थन कर और भारत में अशांति फैला वह भारत के साथ रिश्तों को सामान्य नहीं कर सकता। भारत से सऊदी अरब जाने का आसान और जल्दी का रास्ता पाकिस्तान से होकर जाता है। वहीं इसका दूसरा रूट मुंबई और अरब सागर से होते हुए है। कयास लगाए जा रहे हैं कि पीएम मोदी के विमान ने इसी रूट का ही इस्तेमाल किया है। 2019 में पुलवामा हमले के समय में भी पाकिस्तान का एयरस्पेस भारत ने इस्तेमाल करना बंद कर दिया था, साथ ही सभी तरह के संबंध भी पाकिस्तान से तोड़ दिए गए थे। पहलगाम हमले ने एक बार फिर दोनों देशों के तनाव भरे रिश्ते में दरार डालने का काम किया है।

भारत ने पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ लिए कड़े एक्शन

Pahalgam Attack: भारत ने पहलगाम आतंकवादी हमले के मद्देनजर बुधवार को पाकिस्तान को कड़ा संदेश देते हुए उसके साथ राजनयिक संबंधों में व्यापक कटौती, छह दशक से ज्यादा पुरानी सिंधु जल संधि स्थगित करने और अटारी बॉर्डर को बंद किए जाने समेत कई फैसले किए। एक मई तक राजनयिक संबंधों में और कटौती के माध्यम से पाकिस्तानी और भारतीय उच्चायोगों में तैनात लोगों की कुल संख्या घटाकर 55 से 30 कर दी जाएगी। विदेश सचिव विक्रम मिस्री ने कहा कि CCS ने संकल्प लिया है, कि हमले के अपराधियों को न्याय के कठघरे में लाया जाएगा और  उन्हें शह और ताक़त देने वालों को भी इसकी सज़ा मिलेगी। मिस्री ने कहा कि 1960 की सिंधु जल संधि तत्काल प्रभाव से स्थगित रहेगी, जब तक कि पाकिस्तान सीमापार आतंकवाद को अपना समर्थन विश्वसनीय रूप से बंद नहीं कर देता है।

Pahalgam Attack-पाकिस्तान में खलबली

Pahalgam Attack: पहलगाम में हुए आतंकी हमले के बाद भारत सरकार एक्शन मोड में है। भारत सरकार के एक्शन को देखते हुए पाकिस्तान बौखला चुका है। पीएम नरेंद्र मोदी द्वारा इस हमले को लेकर सख्त चेतावनी दी गई है। इसके बाद से ही पाकिस्तान में खलबली मची हुई है। इस बीच पाकिस्तान में हाई लेवल मीटिंग की जा रही है। दरअसल पीएम मोदी की चेतावनी के बाद पाकिस्तान के प्रधानमंत्री शहबाज शरीफ ने राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा समिति एनएससी की आपात बैठक बुलाई है। इस बैठक में सेना के तीनों प्रमुख शामिल हुए हैं। पाक आर्मी चीफ असीम मुनीर, नौसेना प्रमुख एडमिरल और पाकिस्तान के एयर चीफ मार्शल जहीर अहमद बाबर इस बैठक में शामिल हुए हैं। इस बैठक में कई अहम फैसले लिए गए हैं। भारत सरकार द्वारा कार्रवाई की चेतावनी दिए जाने के बाद पाकिस्तान ने अपने एयरस्पेस को बंद कर दिया है। साथ ही भारतीयों के दिए जाने वाले वीजा को भी रद्द कर दिया गया है और बाघा बार्डर को भी बंद कर दिया गया है। बता दें कि भारत ने सिंधु जल समझौते को भी रोक दिया है। इसके बाद पाकिस्तान सरकार का कहना है कि पानी रोकना युद्ध जैसी कार्रवाई है।

मिट्टी में मिला देंगे-PM Modi

Pahalgam Attack: ऐसे समय में जब देशभर से उन 26 निर्दोष नागरिकों के अंतिम संस्कार की तस्वीरें आ रही हैं, हर कोई गमगीन है। आज प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने पूरी दुनिया को अंग्रेजी में मैसेज देते हुए साफ कर दिया कि आतंकियों को ऐसी सजा मिलेगी, जो उन्होंने कल्पना भी नहीं की होगी। प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने आज बिहार की धरती से खुलेआम ऐलान कर दिया कि पहलगाम में निर्दोष नागरिकों का खून बहाने वाले हर आतंकी को सजा देंगे और ऐसी सजा देंगे कि उन्होंने कल्पना भी नहीं की होगी। पीएम ने हिंदी में पाकिस्तान तो, अंग्रेजी में दुनिया को मैसेज दिया। मोदी ने कहा कि इस आतंकी हमले में किसी ने अपना बेटा खोया है, किसी ने अपना साथी खोया है। उनमें कोई बंगाली था, कोई मराठी था, कोई उड़िया था, कोई बिहार का लाल था।हमारा आक्रोश एक जैसा है। ये हमला निहत्थे पर्यटकों पर नहीं था, बल्कि भारत की आत्मा पर हमला करने का दुस्साहस किया गया है। पीएम ने कहा कि, “मैं बहुत स्पष्ट शब्दों में कहना चाहता हूं कि जिन्होंने ये हमला किया है, उन आतंकियों को और हमले की साजिश रचने वालों को उनकी कल्पना से भी बड़ी सजा मिलेगी, सजा मिलकर के रहेगी। आतंकियों की बची-खुची जमीन को भी मिट्टी में मिलाने का समय आ गया है।”

Three Maoists Killed in Bijapur Encounter; Operation Continues

By
Saniya Patel
-

Security forces battled Maoist insurgents in Bijapur district where gun battles killed a minimum of three Maoist combatants. The anti-Naxal campaign launched its operation on April 21, 2025, with the goal of neutralizing the combatants of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) which represents the military branch of the Communist Party of India (Maoist).

Military Forces Have Come Together to Fight Maoists

Security forces have surrounded Battalion 1 of the PLGA, whose members display exceptional training and discipline. The PLGA Battalion 1 represents one of the toughest Maoist units because it consists of 180-200 fighters. Military forces participating in the operation consist of the District Reserve Guard (DRG) as well as Bastar Fighters together with the Special Task Force (STF), state police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Commando Battalions for Resolute Action (CoBRA). The Telangana Police Force extends their support to these operations which take place between two states.

The encounter at Karegutta hills started after intelligence reports suggested top Maoist leaders Hidma Madvi and Damodar were present in the area. The operation will extend beyond several days while security forces both search and investigate potential additional bodies.

In a Related Incident, Constable Lost his Life

A Chhattisgarh Armed Force constable lost his life during the week to an improvised explosive device (IED) explosion detonated by Maoist suspected militants in Bijapur. Security forces in the region face multiple ongoing difficulties, according to the latest attacks on security personnel.​

The Union government has reiterated its commitment to eradicating Maoist insurgency by March 31, 2026, emphasizing the importance of sustained operations and collaboration between state and central forces.

Nexus: Bangladesh Legal Advisor Meets LeT Operative Following Pahalgam Terror Attack

By
Ujjal Roy
-

Hours after Indian intelligence traced the brutal Pahalgam massacre to Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its proxy, The Resistance Front (TRF), a highly disturbing event has shaken regional security circles: Bangladesh’s interim government’s Legal Advisor, Dr. Asif Nazrul, reportedly held a meeting with LeT’s Bangladesh module chief, Harun Izhar.

The meeting allegedly took place on Wednesday afternoon within the Ministry of Law office in Dhaka. Sources within Bangladesh’s military intelligence confirm that Nazrul met with Izhar, a high-profile jihadist with a long track record of plotting terror attacks from Bangladeshi soil. Alarmingly, this rendezvous occurred less than 24 hours after the massacre that killed 26 Indian tourists in Pahalgam.

Izhar, accompanied by several known LeT operatives, has been a recurring figure in regional jihadist activity. His involvement in an aborted 2009 plot to bomb the Indian High Commission in Dhaka remains a dark blot in Bangladesh’s counter-terror records.

Adding fuel to the fire, Nazrul published a verified Facebook post shortly before the meeting, irresponsibly implicating Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and NSA Ajit Doval in the Pahalgam massacre. The baseless claims, devoid of any proof, were widely condemned as provocative and deeply insensitive to the victims’ families.

Meeting Surveillance Raises Security Red Flags

A senior officer from Bangladesh’s Army intelligence confirmed the meeting was recorded, though the content remains classified. “The presence of a wanted terrorist inside a government ministry is a grave concern,” the officer stated. “It reveals a potentially dangerous alignment between radicals and figures within the interim administration.”

Izhar is no stranger to law enforcement. With ties to Hefazat-e-Islam—a hardline Islamist organization—he’s been central to the radicalisation of many under the guise of groups like Manhaz. On March 30, 2024, a video surfaced online depicting him leading students in a pledge of allegiance to Hefazat’s cause, calling for jihad against India and Myanmar.

Izhar’s terror-linked activities trace back to 2009 when U.S. agencies flagged him after interrogating David Coleman Headley, a key planner of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Based on shared intelligence, Bangladeshi authorities arrested Izhar and uncovered plans to target both the Indian High Commission and U.S. Embassy Dhaka.

His arrest in 2013 followed a deadly grenade explosion at his madrasa, which killed three and exposed a cache of IED components in his quarters.

Pakistan’s Connections and Regional Radicalisation

During his time studying in Pakistan, Izhar built strong links with LeT leaders and other jihadist outfits. Under his influence, significant portions of Hefazat were radicalized, fostering a highly volatile extremist network across Bangladesh.

He also spearheaded operations under various banners—Towhidi Janata, Anti-Satime Rasul Andolon, and Kara Mukti Andolon—allegedly aimed at orchestrating jailbreaks for convicted extremists after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s ouster.

According to intelligence reports, Izhar’s role escalated during Prime Minister Modi’s 2021 visit to Bangladesh on the occasion of the nation’s 50th independence year, where he orchestrated mass protests and demonstrations against Modi’s presence.

Former Information Minister Mohammad Arafath voiced serious concerns during a phone interview with NAI. “The interim government under Mohammad Yunus has not only released known extremists but embedded their sympathizers within the counter-terrorism unit and government advisory roles,” he stated. “With figures like Nazrul freely associating with terrorists, Bangladesh is inching dangerously close to institutionalised radicalisation.”

Organ Donation: अब अंगदान (Organ Donation) की प्रक्रिया महाराष्ट्र में और तेज, पारदर्शी और आसान होने जा रही है। राज्य के स्वास्थ्य मंत्री प्रकाश आबिटकर ने कहा कि जरूरतमंद मरीजों को समय पर अंगदान मिल सके, इसके लिए सरकार ने कई बड़े कदम उठाए हैं। अब राज्य के अमरावती, कोल्हापुर, नासिक और सोलापुर जैसे शहरों में नए अवयव प्रत्यारोपण समन्वय केंद्र (ZTCC – Zonal Transplant Coordination Center) खोले जाएंगे। इन केंद्रों के ज़रिए अंगदान से जुड़ी सारी प्रक्रिया की निगरानी होगी और जरूरतमंदों को तुरंत अंग मिल पाएंगे।

Organ Donation: अंगदान पाने वालों वालों को मिलेगी राहत, बचेंगी जिंदगियां

स्वास्थ्य भवन, मुंबई में हुई बैठक में मंत्री आबिटकर ने बताया कि अब सरकारी अस्पतालों में Non-Transplant Organ Retrieval Centre (NTORC) यानी मानव अंग पुनर्प्राप्ति केंद्र भी बनाए जाएंगे और वहां स्पेशल कोऑर्डिनेटर तैनात किए जाएंगे, जो हर प्रोसेस को आसान और फास्ट बनाएंगे। अगर कोई व्यक्ति ज़िंदा रहते हुए किडनी या लिवर दान करना चाहता है, तो अब उसकी अनुमति लेने की प्रक्रिया भी आसान होगी। इसके लिए RAC यानी रीजनल अथॉरिटी कमेटी को सरल और तेज़ बनाने के आदेश दिए गए हैं।

अंगदान पर जागरूकता और सम्मान, अमरावती, नासिक, कोल्हापुर और सोलापुर में बनेंगे नए अंग प्रत्यारोपण केंद्र

सरकार ने तय किया है कि इस 1 मई महाराष्ट्र दिवस पर हर ज़िले में अंगदान करने वाले और उनके परिवारों का सम्मान किया जाएगा। जिलों के मंत्री और कलेक्टर उनके सम्मान में कार्यक्रम करेंगे।

Organ Donation: डॉक्टर्स के लिए ट्रेनिंग और कोर्स

जो डॉक्टर ऑर्गन ट्रांसप्लांट करते हैं, उनके लिए सरकार स्पेशल वर्कशॉप और एक नया कोर्स ‘फेलोशिप इन क्रिटिकल मेडिसिन’ शुरू करने जा रही है।मंत्री आबिटकर ने कहा कि अंगदान को लेकर समाज में जागरूकता फैलाना बहुत ज़रूरी है और इसके लिए पूरे राज्य में अभियान भी चलाया जाएगा।

क्यों ज़रूरी है अंगदान? (What is Organ Donation in Simple Words)

जब कोई इंसान मर जाता है और अपने दिल, किडनी, लीवर, फेफड़े, आंखें आदि अंग (organs) किसी जरूरतमंद को देने की इच्छा रखता है, ताकि उसकी जान बचाई जा सके तो इसे अवयवदान (Organ Donation) कहते हैं। ऐसे दान से एक नहीं, कई लोगों की जिंदगी बचाई जा सकती है।

The Gujarat riots, during which Muslims were the targets of widespread and severe violence, took place shortly afterward. The Godhra train burning is a highly contentious event in Indian history. In the aftermath, widespread and severe riots erupted across Gujarat.

The Gujarat Riots 2002

The 2002 Gujarat riots, was a three-day period of inter-communal violence in the western Indian state of Gujarat. The riots were triggered by an incident at a train station and led to significant casualties and displacement. Following the initial riot incidents, there were further outbreaks of violence in Ahmedabad for three months.

There were further outbreaks of violence against the minority Muslim population of Gujarat for the next year. According to official figures, the riots ended with 1,044 dead, 223 missing, and 2,500 injured. Of the dead, 790 were Muslim and 254 Hindu.

Legal Proceedings and Appeals

Following the incident, the Gujarat High Court in October 2017 upheld the convictions of several individuals while commuting the death sentences of 11 people to life imprisonment. The Gujarat government has since appealed to the Supreme Court, seeking the reinstatement of the death penalty for these 11 convicts. Simultaneously, several other convicts have challenged the High Court’s verdict upholding their convictions.

The Nanavati-Mehta Commission report

Following the incident several inquiries have offered differing perspectives on the cause of the fire in the train. The Nanavati-Mehta Commission, appointed by the Gujarat government, concluded in 2008 that the incident was a pre-planned act of arson by a large Muslim mob.However, the Banerjee Commission, instituted by the Ministry of Railways, suggested in its 2006 report that the fire was accidental.

Later, the Gujarat High Court deemed the Banerjee Commission’s appointment unconstitutional and dismissed its findings. Following this an independent investigation by a non-governmental organization was conducted. The organisation’s findings also supported the accidental fire theory.

In 2011, a trial court convicted 31 individuals, sentencing 11 to death and 20 to life imprisonment. It also acquitted 63 others. Subsequently, in 2017, the Gujarat High Court upheld the convictions in October 2017, but commuted the death sentences to life imprisonment. This set the stage for the current appeals before the Supreme Court of India.
