PRESS RELEASE | 3rd NOV 2025

INTERACTIVE SEMINAR ON "DISINFORMATION & MISINFORMATION IN MEDIA" HELD IN GANGTOK

The Journalists' Union of Sikkim (JUS), in association with the Indian Journalists Union (IJU) and supported by the Centre for International Relations, Poland, successfully organized an interactive seminar on "Disinformation & Misinformation in Media: Meeting the Big Challenge in this Digital Age" at Janta Bhawan Hall, Gangtok, today.

The session began with a welcome address and introduction by JUS President Sujal Pradhan, who emphasized the importance of understanding disinformation in today's rapidly evolving digital environment. The event featured two distinguished speakers, Dr. Malgorzata Bonikowska, President of the Centre for International Relations and Professor at Warsaw University, and Ms. Sabina Inderjit, Secretary General of the Indian Journalists Union (IJU).

Both guests presented brief introductory notes before engaging in an in-depth interactive discussion with participants. The conversation focused on the challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI), the spread of disinformation and misinformation, and the need to use AI as a supportive tool without becoming fully dependent on it. The discussion also touched upon the current state of the press and media in India, drawing comparative perspectives from Europe and Poland.

Dr. Bonikowska shared valuable insights on European approaches, explaining how European countries, particularly Poland, manage to control online misinformation and disinformation while still protecting freedom of expression and democratic values. She also highlighted how disinformation warfare has become a part of modern conflicts, citing examples from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and how Poland and other European nations face related challenges. She stressed the importance of responsible journalism, specially for media professionals in sensitive border states like Sikkim. Dr. Bonikowska further noted that journalists in democratic nations in Europe rely on credible and transparent sources from other democratic countries like India, unlike in authoritarian states such as China and Russia, where press freedom is restricted.

The event witnessed active participation from journalists and media persons representing various news organizations, along with members of JUS. The session concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Vice President Wangchen Lama, expressing gratitude to the distinguished guests, participants, and everyone who contributed to making the program a success.

झापा 11 प्रतियोगिताबाट बाहिर, ब्रदरहुड सिक्किम क्वाटरफाइनलमा प्रवेश

सोरेङ्–च्याखुङ, ३ नोभेम्बर २०२५

सोरेङ जिल्लाको च्याखुङमा जारी १८ औँ एल डी काजी मेमोरियल गोल्डकप फुटबल टुर्नामेन्टको पाँचौँ दिन विविध सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रमसँगै सुरु भयो। स्थानीय विद्यालय तथा विभिन्न संघ–संस्थाले नानी–बालबालिकाहरूबाट प्रस्तुत गरेको आकर्षक सांस्कृतिक नृत्यले उद्घाटन कार्यक्रम सजिलो र जीवन्त बन्यो।

आजको कार्यक्रमका मुख्य अतिथि सिक्किम सरकारका मुख्यमन्त्रीका राजनीतिक सचिव जेकब खालिङ हुनुहुन्थ्यो। उहाँसँगै टिमिटिबोटका अध्यक्ष आर.के. वालिङ, सिक्किम राज्य बैंकका सल्लाहकार बिरेन चन्द्र राई, सिक्किम सरकारका मनोनित ओएसडी खगेन्द्र राई, सोरेङ–चाखुङ निर्वाचन क्षेत्रका माननीय विधायकका ओएसडी राजेन बस्नेत, माननीय विधायक आदित्य गोलेका पीए दिनाक पाण्डे, मालबासे–बुँदाङ जिल्ला पञ्चायत टेरिटोरियलका सदस्य टिकाराम क्षेत्री तथा आयोजक समितिका अध्यक्षलगायत अन्य अतिथिहरूको सहभागिता रहेको थियो। साथै, खेलप्रेमी दर्शक, स्थानीय ग्राम पञ्चायत एकाइका जनप्रतिनिधि र सर्वसाधारणको समेत बाक्लो उपस्थितिले कार्यक्रमलाई भव्य बनायो।

उक्त कार्यक्रममा मुख्य अतिथिको रूपमा उपस्थित सिक्किम सरकारका सम्माननीय मुख्यमन्त्रीका राजनीतिक सचिव श्री जेकब खालिङ्गले आफ्नो सम्बोधनको क्रममा १८औँ एल.डी. काजी गोल्डकपको ऐतिहासिक महत्व र यसको वर्तमान स्वरूपसम्मको यात्राबारे चर्चा गर्नुभयो।

उनले स्मरण गर्दै भन्नुभयो कि आज जति प्रविधि, डिजिटल प्लेटफर्म र सामाजिक सञ्जालको पहुँच छ, त्यो पूर्वमा थिएन। त्यतिबेला आजका मुख्यमन्त्री प्रेम सिंह गोलेज्यू केवल मन्त्रीको भूमिकामा हुनुहुन्थ्यो। त्यो समय च्याखुङ् जस्तो दुर्गम गाउँ सिक्किमकै जनताले पनि ठ्याक्कै कहाँ पर्दछ भनी जान्दैनथे। छिमेकी राज्य पश्चिम बंगालका मानिसहरूलाई त झन् च्याखुङ् नामले नै अपरिचित थियो।

त्यही समयमा, वर्तमान मुख्यमन्त्री गोलेज्यूले दूरदृष्टि र साहसिक निर्णय लिँदै यस ठाउँलाई राष्ट्रिय तथा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा चिनाउन उल्लेखनीय पहल गर्नुभयो। भारतका प्रसिद्ध कलाकारहरू, जस्तै जोनी लिवरजस्ता ख्यातिप्राप्त कलाकारलाई आमन्त्रणा गरी च्याखुङ्लाई देश–विदेशमा चिनाउनुपर्ने महत्वपूर्ण कार्य उहाँले नै गर्नुभयो।

यस ऐतिहासिक योगदानको उल्लेख गर्दै, श्री खालिङ्गले मुख्यमन्त्री प्रेम सिंह गोलेज्यूको दूरदर्शिता, नेतृत्व क्षमता र च्याखुङ्को पहिचान निर्माणमा भएको अमूल्य भूमिकाको खुलेर प्रशंसा गर्नुभयो।

पाँचौँ दिनको मुख्य आकर्षणको फुटबल टुर्नामेन्टमा झापा 11 र ब्रदरहुड सिक्किमबीच उत्कट प्रतिस्पर्धा भयो। खेलको पहिलो हाफको ४५औँ मिनेटमा ब्रदरहुड सिक्किमका शिवम खड्काले सुन्दर गोल गर्दै टिमलाई अग्रता दिलाए। पहिलो हाफ सोही स्कोरमा समाप्त भयो।

दोस्रो हाफमा खेलको ८४औँ मिनेटमा पेनाल्टी अवसरको सदुपयोग गर्दै प्रशान्त खड्काले ब्रदरहुडको लागि दोस्रो गोल थपे। त्यही क्रममा ८८औँ मिनेटमा आदर्श तामाङले थप एक गोल गर्दै स्कोरलाइन ३–०को बनाइदिए। निर्धारित समयसम्म झापा 11 कुनै गोल गर्न सफल नभएसँगै ब्रदरहुड सिक्किम तीन शून्यको जित हासिल गर्दै क्वाटरफाइनलमा प्रवेश गर्न सफल भयो।

च्याखुङमा जारी १८औँ एल.डी. काजी मेमोरियल गोल्डकपको प्रि-क्वार्टर फाइनल चरण आज सम्पन्न भएको छ। भोलादेखि यस प्रतियोगिताको क्वार्टर फाइनल चरणका खेलहरू सुरु हुनेछन्।

India Clinch Maiden ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Title with Thrilling Win Over South Africa

In a historic night for Indian cricket, the India women’s team lifted their first-ever ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup title after defeating South Africa by 52 runs in a high-voltage final on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Batting first, India posted a commanding 298 for 7 in 50 overs. Opener Shafali Verma set the tone with a blistering 87 off 64 balls, smashing boundaries all around the park. Her aggressive start was well supported by Deepti Sharma, who played a mature knock of 58 runs before shining with the ball later in the match.
Chasing 299, South Africa’s innings was anchored by captain Laura Wolvaardt, who scored a brilliant 101, but the rest of the lineup faltered against India’s disciplined bowling attack. Deepti Sharma turned the game decisively in India’s favor with an outstanding spell of 5 for 39, restricting the Proteas to 246 all out.
Shafali Verma was named Player of the Match for her all-round brilliance, while Deepti Sharma received the Player of the Tournament award for her consistent performance throughout the World Cup — taking 22 wickets and scoring 215 runs.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, overwhelmed with emotion, dedicated the victory to “every girl who dreams of playing cricket for India,” calling it “a win for the entire nation.”
With this triumph, India have finally etched their name in the history books, ending years of near misses and heartbreaks to become World Champions in women’s 50-over cricket.
