Global media converges on Karbala for Ashura coverage
Shafaq News – Karbala Over 600 media outlets from around the world are covering this year's Muharram rituals in Karbala, marking one of the most extensive press operations the holy city has witnessed, according to the Iraqi Journalists Syndicate's Karbala branch. Branch chief Hussein al-Shammari told Shafaq News Agency on Sunday that the coverage spans news agencies, newspapers, satellite channels, professional photographers, and content creators from various countries. He confirmed that more than 30 fixed and mobile satellite news gathering (SNG) units are currently operating across the city, broadcasting live coverage of the religious ceremonies—from the flag-changing ritual at the Imam Hussein Shrine through to Ashura, the tenth day of Muharram. Al-Shammari added that over 800 journalists are participating in the coverage, representing local, regional, and international media—highlighting the religious, cultural, and journalistic significance of the occasion. He noted that the Imam Hussein and al-Abbas Shrines' authorities have provided extensive support for the media, including high-speed internet, meal services, designated press platforms, and official ID badges to facilitate journalist access within the heavily visited Old City. Al-Shammari also praised the security forces for ensuring a safe and efficient environment for reporters and media crews working in Karbala during this critical period. Ashura, one of the most sacred days in the Shiite Islamic calendar, commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein ibn Ali, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who was killed in the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE. The day holds deep spiritual and political resonance for millions of Shiite Muslims worldwide.

Govt sees coal gasification as big step for cleaner fuels
New Delhi: The Ministry of Coal has stepped up efforts to promote coal gasification as part of the government's policy to switch to cleaner fuels , greener technologies, and a long-term vision for sustainable and inclusive growth. "Coal gasification transforms solid coal into syngas - a mix of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide - unlocking cleaner fuels, chemicals like methanol and ammonia, and reducing emissions," the Coal Ministry said on Tuesday. The Ministry sees coal gasification as "a step toward energy self-reliance and a cleaner industrial future" as it produces cleaner fuels, chemical feedstocks and lower emissions. Coal is one of the most abundant natural resources in the country. Coal gasification technology enables conversion of coal into syngas (synthetic gas), which can be used to produce downstream products like methanol, ammonium nitrate, synthetic natural gas (SNG) and fertilisers, etc. Coal gasification technology provides an alternative use of coal, promoting environmental sustainability to align with the vision of developed India 2047, a senior official said. The government has approved an outlay of ₹8,500 crore as financial incentive, for promotion of coal gasification projects for both government PSUs as well as private sector companies. Leading Maharatna public sector companies Coal India Limited and GAIL (India) Limited (GAIL) have signed a landmark joint venture agreement for setting up a Coal to Synthetic Natural Gas plant using surface coal gasification technology. The plant to come up in the Raniganj area of Eastern Coalfields Limited in West Bengal is expected to produce 80,000 Nm3 per hour of SNG. The annual production is slated at 633.6 million Nm3 per hour, which will require 1.9 million tonnes (mts) of coal to be supplied by Coal India Ltd (CIL). The synergy and partnership of the two corporate giants is a big step towards achieving the goals of the National Coal Gasification Mission, which facilitates the utilisation of the chemical properties of coal. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Coal announced that it has issued Letters of Award (LOAs) to applicants selected under Category II of the ₹8,500 crore Coal Gasification Incentive Scheme aimed at reducing the country's carbon emissions and strengthening energy security. Jindal Steel and Power Limited's 2MMTPA coal gasification project at Angul in Odisha, has been awarded ₹569.05 crore in financial incentives. The ₹3,793 crore project will convert coal into Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) through coal gasification while also setting up a carbon capture and utilisation plant designed to capture 30 TPD of CO2 for conversion into valuable products. New Era Cleantech Solution Private Limited has been given a financial incentive of ₹1,000 crore for its coal gasification project in Bhadravati, Chandrapur, Maharashtra. Greta Energy Limited has also been awarded ₹414.01 crore of financial incentive for its coal gasification project at Bhadravati with a total investment of ₹2,763 crore.
