INDIA bloc targeting constitutional institutions to mislead people: Tripura CM
Digital Desk | Agartala, Oct 31 (IANS) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday accused the Congress-led INDIA bloc of undermining constitutional institutions, including the Election Commission (EC) and the Supreme Court, alleging that its opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls was aimed at misleading people. Addressing a rally, Saha said the country was progressing under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, while opposition parties were attempting to create distrust in constitutional bodies. Backing the SIR exercise, the Chief Minister said the Election Commission was empowered to undertake electoral roll revisions to ensure accurate voter lists and free and fair elections. He accused the INDIA bloc of questioning the process despite the Supreme Court's observations on the EC's authority. Saha alleged that the opposition was resorting to protests and political campaigns after failing to secure electoral victories. He asserted that such attempts would not succeed in a democratic country like India. He said the BJP would reach out to people to highlight what he described as the opposition's attempts to weaken democratic institutions and undermine constitutional values. Saturdays massive public participation demonstrates that the true strength of democracy lies in the people. The people of Tripura have clearly expressed their firm commitment to peace, stability, good governance and development. Our journey will continue with an unwavering resolve to uphold the dignity of democracy, raise our voice against anarchy, and further strengthen the path of progress and development, the Chief Minister said in a post on his X handle. State BJP president Abhishek Debroy also criticised the INDIA bloc's opposition to the SIR exercise, claiming that similar revisions had been conducted several times during previous Congress-led governments. He questioned the opposition's demand to halt the exercise, arguing that electoral roll revision was necessary to remove the names of deceased and shifted voters and maintain accurate voter lists. Referring to the INDIA bloc's 'Save Democracy' rally held on Friday, Debroy alleged that the Congress and CPI (M) had joined hands to challenge the BJP politically in Tripura. He expressed confidence in the BJP's political prospects in the state, asserting that the party would remain strong until 2047. The Saturdays rally was organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nationwide as part of the Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy (Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao) campaign.

Rahul Bose is known for his serious, no-nonsense persona, though he has tickled the audience's funny bone in the past. However, in Udta Teer, he has surprised moviegoers like never before. He plays M D Burman, head of the Counter Terrorism Squad (CTS), who slips into a coma just as he discovers the protagonist (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a Pakistani spy. From this point onwards, his eyes do all the talking, leaving audiences in splits. Meanwhile, the Pakistani spy loses his memory and begins believing that he is an Indian patriot. A hilarious sequence in which he saves M D Burman in the hospital brought the house down. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rahul Bose opened up about the overwhelming response to his performance, and much more. You have played funny roles in the past. But is the kind of response you've received for Udta Teer unlike anything you've experienced before? Honestly, I haven't done comedy like this before. It's physical comedy that almost borders on mime because there are no dialogues. So, it was very different from what most actors do in cinema, forget about me. I asked Aakash (writer-director Aakash A Kaushik), 'Why would you cast someone like me?'. He replied, 'That's because with you, nobody is expecting the film to turn funny'. My character comes across as very serious. He's the head of the CTS. It's a typical Rahul Bose kind of role, which I played earlier in Berlin (2024). Hence, no one can imagine what happens to this character. Aakash said, 'If I had cast a renowned comedy actor, people would know that ab kuch funny aane waala hain. Nahin toh iss actor ko kyun cast karte?'. I felt that this was a very intelligent reply to my question. Then, he said, 'I saw you on a game show where the audience had to find out who the liar was'. I forgot the name of the show. There were eight of us. Questions were asked to us throughout the day, and then the audience had to decide who the most truthful person was. I won that show, though I lied throughout! He remarked, 'I was so shocked because we thought you were speaking the truth. However, you were lying the whole time. If a guy can do that with his eyes, then I am very confident he can pull this off'. How was it shooting the crazy scenes in the movie? For me, personally, it was very interesting. Don't forget that all those scenes were not in the script. The script would simply say that 'Ayushmann saves Rahul in the hospital'. But hospital bed pe kya hota hai, defibrillator pads ke saath kya hota hain, Rahul ke taang ke saath woh kisko maarta hain, Rahul kispe girta hain, etc., were all improvised. The morgue sequence was written, the one where my character kisses the dead body! However, the lift door banging on his head ten times was not written in the script. So, that whole action sequence was designed by the action director, keeping comedy in mind. I had to prepare accordingly. When the lift door kept banging against the side of my head, I made sure that my expression was different every single time so that people would find it amusing. The same happened with the love track. The script only mentioned that Holkar (Smita Tambe) was in love with my character. How he reacts, how their track develops and how it reaches the point where he's in a wheelchair and gives her a rose were also not entirely on the page. So, you have to see how it works out. The best way to know whether or not it's working is to see whether the unit laughs. The unit gets tired by the time we go for the third take, fourth take, sometimes even the eighteenth take. They don't really pay attention. But if the unit laughs, then you know you're in a good space. They already know what's coming and what the shot is, and yet they're laughing. On stage, I started my career doing physical comedy. That was in 1990, 36 years ago. So, it was not unfamiliar territory for me. However, I knew that in my cinema career, this would be something new. I am grateful to Aakash for thinking of me. I told him, 'From the glorious heights of Mr & Mrs Iyer (2002), I have now become a slapstick comedian. This is on you!' (smiles). Thankfully, your funniest scenes were not shown in the trailer. That added to the surprise... A lot of people saw the trailer and told me, 'Didn't you tell us that you are in the film? But you are hardly there in the trailer. Tumhara role kat gaya kya?'. I assured them, 'Aap film dekho. Phir aapko pata chalega'. But that sounds like something a loser would say! And now, looking at the feedback, I think not showing me was a good strategy. Udta Teer has a scene where you mistakenly kiss a dead body. Even the sequence where your head bangs on the lift floor could be considered a bit too extreme by some viewers. Did you ever fear trolling or criticism? After all, these days, almost anything can invite criticism on social media... There was no fear as such. You may see one funny scene and you'll be like, 'Ha ha ha ha. Theek hai'. However, it's actually a performance. He does a lot, including dancing to 'It's The Time To Disco'! That's when people realize that this is a performance and not just an item. If it was an item, then people would wonder, 'What is wrong with this guy? What is he doing with his career?'. That didn't happen in the case of Udta Teer because it's a performance. Somebody told me, 'I saw you in Bulbbul (2020), and now I see you here, and my mind is completely scrambled'. Hence, I wouldn't have done this role had Aakash not assured me that this was a proper performance and not just one scene where you come in as an item. I had faith in Aakash, and he lived up to his word. In fact, he even increased my role after seeing the rough cut. There's also an amusing track involving unrequited love between your character and Holkar. If Udta Teer gets a sequel, could we finally see their romance blossom? (Laughs) Firstly, I don't know if there's a part 2. If there's a sequel, Aakash will definitely find a way to present me in yet another absolutely ridiculous avatar! I am sure, as he has a very funny and twisted mind. I have worked with 15 first-time directors, starting with Dev Benegal (English, August; 1994), Saket Chaudhary (Pyaar Ke Side Effects; 2006), Sujoy Ghosh (Jhankaar Beats; 2003), Anvita Dutt (Bulbbul; 2020), Vinta Nanda (White Noise; 2005), Anil Senior (Dil Kabaddi; 2008), etc. I look for some madness in these debutant directors. They don't have anything else to show except for that spark. Their films are quite pure. Even my first film as a director, Everybody Says I'm Fine (2001), was also very pure. So, it's great fun working with first-time directors, though there's also a risk involved.

Democratic struggle for rights, identity, dignity of people of J&K to continue: NC
Srinagar, Oct 30: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Provincial President Showkat Ahmad Mir Friday reiterated the partys unwavering commitment to the restoration of Jammu and Kashmirs special status and full statehood. He said that the National Conference has always represented the rights, identity and dignity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and will continue to raise their voice with full strength on every democratic and constitutional platform. The Provincial President, as per a party statement, urged party functionaries and workers to remain prepared to face the prevailing circumstances and all emerging challenges, while further strengthening their engagement with the people. He said that the real strength of the National Conference lies in the trust of the people and the selfless dedication of its workers. Every party worker, he said, must work with unity, discipline and determination to carry forward the partys mission. He asserted that depriving the people of Jammu and Kashmir of their constitutional rights can neither suppress their voice nor silence the National Conference. He said the party would continue to raise the concerns of the people in every forum, democratic institution and appropriate platform across the country, while pursuing all peaceful, democratic and constitutional means for securing their democratic, constitutional and legal rights. Showkat said that since 2015, the people of Jammu and Kashmir have endured prolonged hardships, uncertainty and numerous challenges, severely affecting their daily lives, economy and livelihood opportunities. In such circumstances, he said, providing maximum relief to the people has become an urgent necessity and remains the foremost priority of the present government. He appreciated the welfare measures undertaken by the government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, stating that the government is working on the ground to address public grievances, improve basic amenities, accelerate developmental activities and provide relief to people facing various difficulties. He said the induction of additional ministers into the Cabinet has created further avenues for addressing public grievances and ensuring better public service delivery, adding that the benefits of this expansion would become increasingly visible to the people. While acknowledging that the government continues to face constraints due to limited powers, financial difficulties, administrative hurdles and other challenges, he maintained that it is moving in the right direction and utilising all available resources to serve the people. He reiterated that the National Conference remains steadfast in its commitments and principles, adding that the party's democratic struggle for the restoration of the dignity, identity, special constitutional rights and statehood of the people of Jammu and Kashmir would continue with full vigour, responsibility and determination.

Issueless NC-Congress govt belies peoples trust: Pathania
Udhampur, Oct 30:Launching a scathing attack on the National Conference-Congress government for, what he alleged, its failure to honour the promises made to the people during the assembly elections, BJP MLA from Udhampur East, Ranbir Singh Pathania on Friday maintained that the government had reduced governance to a political rhetoric, excuses and unfulfilled assurances, while the aspirations of the people continued to remain unaddressed. He was addressing the people after inaugurating and initiating a series of important developmental works in the Khandui-Khandra area. Pathania said that the National Conference had sought votes on the basis of a tall catalogue of promises, including 200 units of free electricity; free LPG cylinders; free travel and one lakh jobs for the youth. However, even after assuming power, the government failed to translate these commitments into tangible relief for the people, he claimed. An issue-less and purposeless government seems to have lost its direction and sense of responsibility. The people were given tall promises and lofty assurances, but what they are receiving in return is disappointment and disillusionment. Political rhetoric cannot substitute for governance, nor can excuses compensate for unfulfilled commitments, he asserted. Taking particular exception to what he termed the continued neglect of the Jammu region, Pathania said that the entire region was being left out of the developmental priorities of the present dispensation. From Doda and Kishtwar to the Pahari belt of Rajouri and Poonch and from Udhampur to Kathua and Samba, people across Jammu region continue to await equitable attention, development and their legitimate share in governance, BJP MLA alleged. He said that the people of Jammu region had equal aspirations and equal rights to development and there could be no justification for any discriminatory or indifferent approach towards their concerns. Elections are not merely about securing votes through attractive promises; they are about delivering on those promises. The real test of leadership lies in the roads constructed, grievances resolved, facilities created and opportunities delivered, he added. On this occasion, he also inaugurated and initiated important developmental works in the Khandui-Khandra area, aimed at strengthening rural connectivity, community infrastructure and educational facilities. A major highlight was the Naddi Talab to Khandra road project, to be taken up at an estimated cost of Rs 12 Cr. He also kickstarted construction of a shelter shed, community hall at Baba Loundna Dev Sthan at an estimated cost of Rs 30 lakh. Pathania stated that three additional classrooms would be constructed at Middle School Khandui. Timely execution, quality of construction and effective monitoring of all developmental works, he said, would remain central to his approach.

Talwiinder wants to create music that people can grow with, and discover new meanings in
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 30 (IANS) Singer-songwriter Talwiinder, who has released his new EP Paiinted Feeliings, has said that his vision is to create music that people can grow with, and discover new meanings in, and the EP serves the purpose. The EP features 4 tracks with 2 new releases, Geet and Jind Meri. The singer-songwriter brings together 4 distinct stories exploring different shades of love, longing and emotion. Accompanying the release, the music video for Geet is also out now, featuring Talwiinder in a striking look, adding a distinct visual dimension to the track. Talking about the album and the experience, Talwiinder shared, With Paiinted Feeliings, I wanted to create something people could connect with on a personal level, beyond just listening to the music. Each track carries its own story and emotion, and I hope listeners find pieces of their own lives in the songs, even years from now. The listening experience was an opportunity to bring that vision to life by bringing music and art together and giving fans a chance to engage with the EP beyond the tracks. He further mentioned, Seeing artists interpret Paiinted Feeliings through their murals was particularly special, as each brought their own feelings and perspective to the project. Ultimately, I want to create music that people can grow with, discover new meanings in, and return to over time. For me, it has always been about making something that lasts beyond the hype. Geet was born out of a conversation about writers block, when a fellow musician asked Talwiinder how to find inspiration when words refuse to flow. Rather than searching for an answer, he turned the feeling itself into a song. I dont really believe in writers block. A friend was talking about it, so I wrote a song about it. Sometimes, not knowing what to write about can be the starting point itself, he added. The 4 tracks explore relationships, longing and personal experiences, leaving listeners room to find their own meaning in the music.
Swansea, Arizona, once thrived as a mining community but became a ghost town after its abandonment in 1937. It flourished in the early 1900s due to copper discoveries, only to suffer economic decline later. Research highlights that boom-dependent communities often face economic hardships. Surprisingly, copper prices are soaring today, driven by the tech and electric vehicle sectors. Swansea's history reminds modern towns to tread carefully in the current copper market.

Number of educated unemployed people continues to rise in Bangladesh: Report
Digital Desk | Dhaka, Oct 30 (IANS) Bangladesh's youth is not able to find jobs that match their qualifications even after completing higher education, while a large number of talented youngsters are leaving the country to get better education, employment and a secure future, a report has detailed. Every year, thousands of people graduate and post-graduate from universities in Bangladesh and spend long periods finding a job, while some are forced to do jobs that have little connection with their academic qualifications. At the same time, many young people whose talent and skills could have helped strengthen Bangladesh's economy are leaving the country and settling abroad, according to a report in 'The Daily Observer'. Behind these parallel trends lie weaknesses in the education system, limited employment opportunities and a failure to recognise and reward merit. The question is whether Bangladesh is adequately prepared for the very people expected to shape its future, the report stated. Education system in Bangladesh has been facing difficulty in keeping pace with rapid technological advances and changes in the global economy. Much of the existing education system in Bangladesh is theoretical and dependent on rote learning while modern industry, business and technology need practical knowledge, problem-solving abilities and knowledge to work on new technologies, resulting in many young people getting to know the gap between what they have learnt and what employers expect from them only when they step in the job market. As a result, the number of educated unemployed people continues to increase in Bangladesh, while domestic firms are forced to recruit people from abroad in various important positions as the country lacks suitably skilled workers. Young talented people seek opportunities abroad due to a shortage of jobs that match their qualifications, relatively low salaries, inadequate professional recognition and limited research, the report mentioned. Many of the students go abroad for higher studies and take up jobs there, with some eventually settling there permanently. The skills of Bangladesh's citizens then contribute to the economies of other nations. In August, a survey revealed that Bangladeshs youth are facing a growing employment crisis, with many struggling to turn their education and skills into jobs and opportunities, local media reported. The findings highlighted unemployment as one of the biggest challenges confronting young people across the country. The survey, titled 'Problems of Youth in Bangladesh and Possible Solutions', identified unemployment, skills gaps, mental stress, digital addiction, online gambling and drug abuse as major concerns among young people in Bangladesh, along with limited youth participation in policymaking. The assessment was jointly conducted by social research and advocacy group Shopnopuri Kallyan Sangstha and Bangladesh Co-Creation to mark International Youth Day 2026, Bangladeshi daily Dhaka Tribune reported. Students, youth organisers, volunteers, social and development workers, and representatives of youth initiatives from across Bangladesh took part in the survey. Many respondents cited unemployment as a major concern, while the survey also highlighted growing challenges related to the mental well-being of young people. Saleha K, a member of Disable Welfare Society Bangladesh, identified growing frustration and depression among young people as major concerns. On the other hand, Rabiul Islam, organising secretary of Gabura Welfare Society, said that uncertainty about the future, low self-confidence and lack of guidance are leaving many young people in Bangladesh increasingly vulnerable to mental stress.
Uttarakhand: Helicopter carrying 6 people missing near Joshimath in Chamoli; aerial search launched
Chamoli , October 30 : A helicopter carrying six people, including five passengers and a pilot, went missing while en route from Badrinath to Dehradun in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district, with a search operation launched to trace the aircraft. The helicopter, reportedly operated by a company named Charlie X-Ray, lost contact near Hathi Parvat (Hathi Pahad), close to Joshimath. The district administration has deployed an aerial search team in another helicopter to locate the missing aircraft. The incident comes amid adverse weather conditions in Uttarakhand, with rainfall and snowfall reported in several parts of the state. Meanwhile, Kedarnath Dham witnessed the season's first heavy snowfall following continuous snowfall since Thursday (October 29). The surrounding hills were covered in a thick blanket of snow, while temperatures in the region dropped significantly. Dr CS Tomar, Director of the Meteorological Centre, Dehradun, said rainfall activity was expected to continue over the next few days, particularly in the hilly districts, with light to moderate showers likely at several places. Speaking to ANI, Tomar said heavy rainfall was recorded at eight to nine places across the state on October 29, particularly in Uttarkashi, Tehri and Haridwar districts. He added that similar weather conditions were expected on Friday, with higher chances of rainfall activity in the Kumaon region. Tomorrow, on the 31st, chances of light to very light rain will persist, especially in the hilly districts. Similarly, on the 1st and 2nd (of November), light to very light rain may be witnessed at isolated places, particularly in our northern hilly districts, he said. In view of the weather forecast, district administrations have been placed on alert to ensure the safety of pilgrims and commuters. On Thursday, District Magistrate Prashant Arya directed the activation of the District Emergency Operations Centre (DEOC) in alert mode to monitor weather conditions and oversee precautionary measures. Authorities are also monitoring road conditions and the Gangotri and Yamunotri shrines through live CCTV cameras. The administration has appealed to devotees and pilgrims to take precautions against the cold and follow advisories issued by the administration and police. (ANI)

Hyrox's Joanna Wietrzyk admits she 'put other people at risk' as she prepares for Hamburg comeback
Highlights Australian Hyrox athlete Joanna Wietrzyk, 24, has told the BBC she put other people at risk by finishing the Beijing race after soiling herself, but that the online backlash was raumatic She says she had a bacterial infection from food poisoning, and felt eally, really good before the race Hyrox has since changed its rulebook so that race directors can remove athletes if blood, vomit, urine or faeces pose a welfare or contamination risk She returns to racing in Hamburg on Friday, in the opening round of the 2026-27 Elite Series Joanna Wietrzyk has admitted she made the wrong decision by carrying on racing in Beijing after soiling herself, in her first interview since the incident, but said the scale of the online abuse she received was something she never expected. The world-record holder spoke exclusively to the BBC ahead of her return to competition in Hamburg. As Eastern Eye reported when the row first broke, her win in Beijing was later forfeited. What did Joanna Wietrzyk tell the BBC? It was my decision to continue racing so I take full responsibility for that, she said. Challenged on why she kept going, she said: I didn't really think about those around me. In hindsight, she added, it was he wrong decision and she was ruly sorry for everyone that I did affect. Obviously I did put other people at risk, she said. She said she had a bacterial infection from food poisoning, but went into the race feeling fresh, feeling really, really good. Roughly halfway through, she said, everything did transpire. At that moment, she explained, as a very competitive person her only focus was racing. No one encouraged her to stop, she said. What happened at Hyrox Beijing? On Saturday 12 September, Wietrzyk won the women's solo Elite 15 race at the National Speed Skating Oval in Beijing , in 1:01:23, after suffering a bout of diarrhoea part-way round. Images of her continuing to race were shared widely online, prompting criticism of why officials had let her carry on. Hyrox races are held mainly indoors on shared equipment. Hyrox China later acknowledged that its rulebook contained no provision to penalise an athlete in those circumstances, according to Newsweek, citing the South China Morning Post. Officials had relied on experience from previous races, it said, and called it a sign of deficiencies in the establishment of competition rules. Has Hyrox changed its rules? Yes. On Monday 14 September, Hyrox updated its online rulebook to say a race director may withdraw an athlete if their lood, vomit, urine, or faeces pose a welfare or contamination risk to themselves or other racers. Hyrox World said contamination procedures already existed but acknowledged confusion over how they were applied in Beijing. Co-founder Moritz Frste also apologised, saying Hyrox made a mistake by not reacting immediately during the race. Hyrox China has reportedly refunded some competitors their entry fees. A Beijing athlete who works in public health told Sixth Tone her main worry was that an infection could spread quickly on shared equipment. How did Wietrzyk's response change? It changed a lot. Her first reaction was a defiant Instagram post, now deleted, saying Go hard or go home and a win is a win. She told the BBC she regrets it, saying she was in flight or fight mode while seeking hospital treatment. On 17 September, she apologised to the people of China, her fellow competitors, spectators and organisers, and said she would retroactively withdraw from the race and forfeit the points. I needed those days to reflect on it and process it, she told the BBC, when asked whether the apology was too late. On the mindset of elite athletes, she said they are so hyper-vigilant on winning. There is more to life than just racing and just winning, she said. I'm truly, truly so sorry to everyone that I affected. Australian Hyrox athlete Joanna Wietrzyk has apologized for the incident at the Beijing Hyrox event.The 24-year-old athlete also said that the experience and subsequent backlash were raumatic. I don't believe I should have received such backlash and such scrutiny online. At the end of the day, I'm only human. #Hyrox #JoannaWietrzyk #SportsNews #Fitness #Beijing #Trending Ifeng News (@IFENG__official) October 30, 2026 Why does she call the backlash traumatic? She described a mentally and emotionally taxing period, and said her family had received threats. Hyrox said it would permanently ban anyone identified as sending abuse or threats to her. She said she had tried to isolate herself from the world, but can't do that forever, and that it had been very eye-opening to see what social media does to a 24-year-old who was just out there racing. Yes, I did make the wrong decision but I don't believe I should have received such backlash, she said. At the end of the day I'm only human. Not everyone sees it only through her eyes. One competitor, Joe Ho, wrote under Hyrox's statement that the paying participants who raced after her also deserved to be heard. Newsweek also reports that the sportswear brand Puma appears to have removed its Joanna Wietrzyk x PUMA collection from its online store. When does Joanna Wietrzyk return to racing? On Friday 30 October, in Hamburg, where Hyrox was founded in 2017. The race opens the 2026-27 Hyrox Elite Series and is her first since Beijing. She said she was ervous. I don't want it to become my identity, she said. Before the race, she also posted a video message saying she was ruly, truly so sorry to everyone affected. What is Hyrox, and why does it matter in Britain? Hyrox combines eight 1km runs with eight workout stations, including a sled push, burpee jumps, rowing and sandbag lunges. The first race in Hamburg in 2017 had about 650 participants. More than 175,000 took part in the 2023-24 season, and its co-founder has set a target of more than a million entries for 2025-26. It is hugely popular in Britain, where tickets for races sell out quickly, and has Olympic ambitions, announcing a partnership with World Triathlon, according to the BBC.

What fault have our people committed? Sakina Itoo questions prolonged convoy halts
Srinagar, Oct 30: Minister for Health and Medical Education and Social Welfare Sakina Itoo on Friday questioned why ordinary citizens of Jammu and Kashmir have to wait for hours for convoy movement, asking, What fault have our people committed to endure such hardships?
