Karachi Bakery outlets weather identity crisis
'Some customers question our origins, assuming we're a foreign brand,' says the Green Park store manager. 'We've had to put up posters and hand out flyers just to tell our story.' Inside the Saket outlet, sales assistant Neha Yadav describes the changed atmosphere: 'Earlier, people would come in with smiles, asking for their favourite biscuits. Now, some just glare at the signboard or whisper among themselves. It's disheartening.' Her colleague, Ajay Kumar, adds, 'We're proud to work here, but lately, we've felt the need to defend our jobs and our brand.' Regular customers, however, are vocal in support. Meera Tomar, a Green Park resident and lifelong patron, says, 'The name carries a journey of survival. My parents bought these biscuits for me as a child. We don't question foreign chains, why such double standards?' 'Changing the name would erase history. This bakery is a Delhi institution, and its story is part of ours,' insists retired schoolteacher Suresh Batra. Staff at IGI Airport recount tense moments with travellers. 'A few weeks ago, a group confronted us, demanding to know if we were sending money to Pakistan,' says franchise owner Shalini Verma. 'We had to show them posters about the founder's Indian roots. It's exhausting, but we're determined to keep serving with a smile.' As the brand weathers this storm, it stands as more than just a bakery. It is a living story of Partition, resilience, heritage and Indian identity hoping that, in time, the warmth of its biscuits will again speak louder than the politics of its name. Reinforcing the roots: 'Proudly Indian since 1953' To counter misinformation, all Delhi outlets have launched digital campaigns prominently displaying the Indian Tricolour, while some have put up posters to narrate its origin. The Ramnani family, who still run the bakery, are considering adding a tagline 'Karachi Bakery: Proudly Indian since 1953' to reinforce their roots.

Assam team conducts survey in 5 Arunachal villages
1 2 3 4 Dibrugarh: A high-level team from Assam led by Charaideo DC Neha Yadav visited five villages in Arunachal Pradesh's Longding district on Sunday to conduct a comprehensive field survey in a step towards resolving the decades-old interstate border dispute. The visit, conducted in the spirit of the Namsai Declaration that aims to amicably settle the border issues between the two northeastern states, focused on gathering detailed information about population settlements and cultural prominence in the villages of Tanglan Rusa, Kamkuh Rusa, Hasse Rusa, Langkhajan, and Rangula. The Assam delegation included additional DC and border magistrate Navadeep Changmai, Sapekhati revenue circle officer Lombit Hazarika, and officials from the administration and police department. They were welcomed and accompanied by Longding SP Dekio Gumja and other officials from Arunachal Pradesh throughout the field visit. The findings from the survey will be compiled into a report that will be submitted to the joint border committee comprising officials from both states. Further deliberations will follow as the two northeastern states work towards finalising border demarcation under the framework established by the Namsai Declaration. "Our objective is to collect ground-level data that will help both states move forward with boundary demarcation as envisioned in the Namsai Declaration. We are examining various aspects, including historical settlements, demographic patterns and cultural identities of these border villages," Yadav said. The border dispute between Assam and Arunachal dates back to colonial times when Arunachal was carved out as the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) from Assam. After Arunachal achieved statehood in 1987, disagreements over the demarcation of boundaries continued to cause occasional tensions between the neighbouring states. A breakthrough came with the signing of the Namsai Declaration in July 2022, when CMs of both states agreed to reduce the number of disputed villages from 123 to 86 and work towards a permanent resolution. Sunday's survey represents a concrete step in implementing this agreement. Officials said similar surveys would be conducted in other disputed sectors along the 804-km-long interstate boundary in the coming months "This joint exercise demonstrates the commitment of both state govts to resolve long-standing issues through dialogue and cooperation. The spirit of cooperation is encouraging. Instead of viewing this as a territorial dispute, both sides are approaching it as an administrative exercise to ensure better governance for the people living in these areas," an official said.
