The country now ranks among top six in global 6G patent filings. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has envisaged India to be a front-line contributor in the design, development and deployment of 6G technology by 2030.

Under the 'Bharat 6G Vision', the government is already evaluating 470 proposals on ‘Accelerated research on 6G Ecosystem’. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has funded two next-generation testbeds to advance the 6G research.

According to a government-led panel, India can achieve a share of 10 per cent of all 6G patents along with one-sixth contributions to global standards in the next three years. The country has already launched various initiatives like ‘Bharat 6G Vision’ and ‘Bharat 6G Alliance’, along with the patent and IPR support framework and commissioning of testbeds.

As per industry experts, for India to become a deep-tech leader, penetration of both wireline and intelligent wireless broadband networks, with reliable connectivity, is critical.

World telecom leader, experts and academia from more than 190 countries are set to attend the 10-day World Telecom Standardisation Assembly (WTSA2024) in India from October 14-24. The ‘WTSA 2024’ is being held for the first time in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) history of 150 years in the national capital from October 14-24.

According to DoT, India hosting the ‘WTSA-2024’ is an opportunity to influence the global telecom agenda as we prepare for advancements like 6G and beyond. Now, the DoT has set the ball rolling by launching the WTSA 2024 Outreach Sessions.

Scheduled in Delhi, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, the outreach sessions aim to provide a distinctive platform to students for learning and direct engagement with industry experts, fostering meaningful interactions and knowledge exchange.

He highlighted that the blackbuck holds great cultural and religious significance for the Bishnoi community, who were deeply hurt by its killing.

"Some 23-24 years ago, Salman Khan went to Rajasthan for the shooting of a film. He went hunting and killed a black buck. The blackbuck is worshipped in the Bishnoi community, and its killing left the community furious," Harnath Singh said.

He pointed out that following the incident, Salman Khan was sentenced to five years by the lower court.

"Humans make mistakes, and Salman Khan is a very popular person with many followers. To resolve this controversy, I appealed to him on Twitter. The best way to end this is to repent and apologise. Apologising does not diminish a person's status; it enhances it," Harnath Singh added.

The Rajya Sabha MP had posted on his X handle on Sunday, accusing Khan of hunting and eating the black buck, urging the actor to respect the Bishnoi community's sentiments and apologise.

"Dear Salman Khan, the Bishnoi community worships the blackbuck as a deity. You hunted it, cooked it, and ate it. The community has been angry for a long time because of this. My good advice is to apologise and make amends," his post read.

Meanwhile, following the murder of NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was a close friend of Salman Khan, security at the actor's residence, Galaxy Apartment in Mumbai's Bandra area, has been increased.

Siddique was killed on Saturday night outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra East. On Sunday, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed the responsibility for Siddique's murder, raising questions of a possible mafia angle to the killing.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which had previously threatened Salman Khan and his father, Salim Khan, has claimed responsibility for Baba Siddique’' murder. This has raised concerns about a possible mafia connection to the killing.

Mumbai police have apprehended two out of the three assailants involved in Siddique's murder, while the third remains at large. Police have released pictures of the suspects as the investigation continues.
