The Haryana Government Friday issued a notification for setting up the new Department of Future that will help look for new opportunities for the state's youth, and 'deliver effective solutions through rigorous research, forecasting and collaborative policy development'. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who also holds the Finance portfolio, gave the final nod for establishing the department, fulfilling his commitment made in the 2025-26 Haryana Budget. Following the Governor Ashim Kumar Ghosh's assent, the government issued the notification. 'Governments of the 21st century must focus not only on present needs but also on future challenges. Haryana's administration will now base its policy-making on vision, data analysis, and technical expertise. The 'Department of Future' will lay a stronger foundation for the state's progress in the years ahead. Haryana's policies will henceforth address not only current requirements but also anticipate future challenges,' Saini said. The Haryana CM said the establishment of the Department of Future 'comes at a critical juncture', with climate change, technological revolutions, population growth, and global uncertainties presenting 'unprecedented challenges'. Detailing the objectives of this department, Saini said it will 'identify Haryana's social, economic and technological needs for the years ahead'. 'The department will focus on integrating cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Quantum Computing, and Robotics into the policy-making process.

Its scope includes forecasting challenges in critical sectors like human resources, education, health, energy, agriculture, water, environment, and infrastructure, and preparing timely solutions accordingly,' he added. 'Additionally, the department aims to formulate long-term strategies by coordinating initiatives across all government departments. By analysing the social impact, opportunities, and risks associated with emerging technologies, it will provide evidence-based recommendations. This approach will not only strengthen Haryana's position in the global arena but also promote sustainable development and innovation-driven governance through the adoption of data intelligence and forecast modelling in planning'. Saini said the Department of Future will provide 'fresh direction and opportunities, particularly for the youth of Haryana'. 'In a rapidly changing world where traditional jobs and businesses are evolving, timely preparation of the youth will be the cornerstone of future policy. The 'Department of Future' will not only serve as a guiding force for the youth but will also play a decisive role in shaping policy decisions'.

Golden Temple bomb threat: Unemployed software engineer detained
Amritsar: Punjab Police on Friday claimed to have detained an unemployed software engineer for his alleged role in sending emails threatening bomb attacks on the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Commissioner of Police Gurpreet Bhullar said. He told the media here that software engineer Shubham Dubey has been detained from Faridabad, and the investigation is at "an advanced stage". Two FIRs have been registered in connection with the crime. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) had received multiple emails, warning of RDX blasts, prompting the deployment of heightened security. SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami said they have received five bomb threats since July 14. The SGPC has control over Sikh religious affairs and manages gurdwaras, including the holiest of Sikh shrines, Harmandir Sahib, popularly known as the Golden Temple. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has assured strict action and urged the public not to spread rumours. CM Mann has held a meeting with senior police officials, including Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav. In a post on X after the meeting, the Chief Minister wrote, "We will not allow any compromise on the security of Punjab. Our security agencies and the Punjab Police are fully alert." "I appeal to the people of Punjab to be cautious of rumours. All religious places are sacred and revered by us. We are fully committed to their security. Anti-national and anti-social forces will be dealt with utmost strictness," he added. In response to the threats, the local administration has ramped up security at the Golden Temple complex. Bomb Disposal Squads, SGPC task force members, and additional security personnel have been deployed to secure the premises and protect visiting devotees. Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan has condemned the bomb threat and said that the perpetrators will not succeed in their ill intentions. "Miscreants want to disturb the communal harmony in Punjab and spread fear among people," he said in a statement. Sandhwan appealed to the people that they need not fear anyone, as the government has adopted a zero-tolerance approach towards mischievous elements. "Terrorism has no religion and they will not be spared in their nefarious activities," Sandhwan added.
