National news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 10 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 100% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and the other topics.

354 posts held, back to 4 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 97 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 24 of 60 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 11 November 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.
162 reactions across 102 posts, in 6 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 43.2% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 70 | 43.2% | |
| 👍 | 55 | 34.0% | |
| 👏 | 15 | 9.26% | |
| 👎 | 10 | 6.17% | |
| 🤔 | 8 | 4.94% | |
| 👌 | 4 | 2.47% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 112 of the 354 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 162 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 354 most recent posts we hold, published 4 August 2026 to 11 November 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Telegram’s own ‘edited’ marker: 0 of 60 posts held from the last 30 days (0%) carried it when this register last read them. The marker says a post was changed after publishing, not what it said before — this register holds the earlier wording only where an edit fell between two of its own reads (see the edit ledger and how it is measured).
Inderjeet Singh Sidhu, an 88-year-old retired IPS officer, was awarded the Padma Shri this year, not for his policing but for his fight against garbage on the streets of India’s ‘City Beautiful’. But the man celebrated as Chandigarh’s “broom warrior” and an “unsung hero” is also a reminder of the city’s civic failures. Read the full report
Shahjahanpur in UP has sharply reduced stubble burning, from 423 farm fires in 2021 to just 12 in 2026. Here is how balers, biogas plants & farmer-friendly measures helped turn a UP district around. Watch #ThePrintGroundReport by Janaki Pande https://youtu.be/7XAlBSOIV2w

Much of the decline reflects a reduction in the geopolitical risk premium rather than an improvement in the physical availability of crude oil, Umud Shokri, an energy strategist and geopolitical analyst based in the US told ThePrint. Read the full report
'Punjab is moving toward reducing the burning of paddy straw with machines, bio-decomposers, and crop residue being used in industry. However, even if stubble burning were stopped completely tomorrow, Delhi would still suffer from smog in the bowl due to the lack of control over its internal sources of pollution.' Col Jasjit Singh Gill (retd), environmentalist, writes

Delhi woke up to a thick blanket of haze the morning after Diwali, with 15 air quality monitoring stations recording ‘Severe’ pollution and visibility dropping sharply at the city’s two airports. While the city’s average Air Quality Index stood at 370 on Monday morning, data from 10 of its 59 monitoring stations was missing, raising questions about whether the official reading reflected the full extent of the polluti…
' India and Modi do not believe that every relationship must be reduced to a single test of loyalty. Sometimes, during a war-like situation, correct coordinates aren’t provided, and at other times certain codes are not made available to India for its defence decisions. Therefore, India has to choose the defence supplier that will not hesitate to share these codes.' Meenakashi Lekhi, BJP leader, lawyer and social act…
The gap is also reflected in employers’ hiring preferences. According to TeamLease EdTech, an Indian education and employability solutions company, just 2 per cent of employers surveyed in its Career Outlook Report HY2 2026 indicated an intention to hire freshers with doctoral degrees, compared with 80 per cent who planned to recruit freshers with bachelor’s degrees.

In Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur, the sun no longer sinks into a mist of grey smoke rising from acres of fields. Instead, the staccato groan of large industrial balers punctuates the evening. A tractor drags them across fields, sucking in loose strands of straw, razing off the remaining stubble, and dropping a neatly compressed and tied block of stubble onto the shaven soil. A labourer just has to pick those blocks up…

Opinion: 'The 1891 Census recorded a total population of 287.2 million people, up from 253.8 million in 1881. In areas that were counted in both censuses, the population increased by nearly 27.8 million people over the decade, representing a growth rate of 10.96 percent. Population growth was uneven across regions, with the British Provinces recording an increase of 9.7 percent, while the Feudatory States experienced…

Showing the 12 most recent of 354 posts we hold for @ThePrintIndia. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Telegram’s own answer, not this register’s. When this register asks Telegram’s API what is similar to this channel, this is the list it returns, in the exact order Telegram returns it — never re-sorted by subscribers or by anything else this register measures. The relationship, and the order, are Telegram’s; we record them and date them, and make no claim of our own about which of these channels actually resemble this one.
Read from Telegram’s recommendation API, most recently 20 September 2026. Telegram holds a list like this for a small and growing share of the register — how this is measured, and why most channel pages show nothing here.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 26 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total, of which the 24 where it ranks highest are shown above. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 11 November 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
