Psychology says people often defend decisions they once made even after the reasons disappear

Psychology says why people sometimes feel sad after returning from a great trip

A memorable trip can temporarily broaden your sense of what life can look and feel like. When you return home, familiar routines may seem less exciting or even somewhat limiting for a while. That feeling doesn't necessarily mean you need to quit your job, move abroad, or immediately plan another getaway. Sometimes, it simply reflects the contrast between an enriching experience and the comfort of everyday life.

46,491 people treated for drug addiction in J&K in 2025-26: Rajya Sabha told

Srinagar, Aug 12: The number of people treated for drug addiction at centres supported by the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in Jammu and Kashmir rose to 46,491 in 2025-26, the highest annual figure recorded in the last five years, according to data tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday. The number marks a sharp increase from 5,382 in 2021-22, while 27,843 people were treated in 2022-23, 40,546 in 2023-24 and 36,588 in 2024-25. The data were provided in response to a Rajya Sabha question on the prevalence of substance abuse, treatment facilities and measures to strengthen prevention and rehabilitation services in JK. Jammu recorded the highest number of treatments in 2025-26 at 9,960, followed by Srinagar with 6,204, Bandipore 5,769, Kulgam 5,765 and Rajouri 5,561. Kupwara recorded 4,530 cases, while Pulwama accounted for 3,433 and Budgam 2,693. The Union Government said its 2018 National Survey on the extent and pattern of substance use, conducted through the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre at AIIMS, estimated that 5.4 lakh people in JK were opioid users, representing a prevalence of 4.91 per cent among the 10-75 age group. The survey also estimated 3.9 lakh alcohol users, 1.4 lakh cannabis users, 1.7 lakh sedative users and 1.35 lakh inhalant users in JK. At present, the Ministry is supporting one Integrated Rehabilitation Centre for Addicts, three Outreach and Drop In Centres, two Community-based Peer Led Intervention programmes, six District De-Addiction Centres and 21 Addiction Treatment Facilities in Jammu and Kashmir. The Government said these facilities are being supported under the National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction (NAPDDR), which provides financial assistance for prevention, awareness, treatment, rehabilitation and capacity-building. The Centre also operates the 14446 de-addiction helpline, which has received more than 4.6 lakh calls nationally, including over 11,000 calls from Jammu and Kashmir. Under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, more than 1.20 crore people in JK have so far been sensitised, including over 69.14 lakh youth and 51.20 lakh women. The campaign has also enrolled 8,565 Nasha Mukti Mitrs in the Union Territory. The Government said the campaign, launched nationally in 2020 and extended to all districts in 2023, focuses on awareness and outreach in schools, higher educational institutions and university campuses, besides other community-level interventions.

Southern Water wants a rare water ban, says 165,000 people could be at risk

Southern Water says supplies to 165,000 people could be compromised if dry weather continues. A rare ban could stop businesses filling pools, washing vehicles and watering gardens. The River Test is under pressure as customer demand has climbed to more than 660 million litres a day. Southern Water has asked the government for permission to impose a rare non-essential use ban in parts of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, warning that 165,000 people around Southampton and Eastleigh could face water shortages if dry conditions continue. The proposed Southern Water drought order would go beyond the hosepipe restrictions already affecting millions of people. If approved and brought into force, businesses could be stopped from washing vehicles, cleaning windows and watering outdoor gardens, while filling and maintaining non-domestic swimming pools could also be restricted. The application is being treated as a precautionary measure rather than an immediate warning that taps are about to run dry. But Southern Water says the situation could become serious if rainfall remains low and demand does not ease. Environment Secretary Angela Eagle has 28 days to decide whether to approve or reject the request. The scale of the proposed restrictions reflects the pressure on the region's water system. Southern Water normally supplies around 550 million to 560 million litres of water a day, but demand has risen above 660 million litres during the run of hot weather. At the same time, flows in the River Test, a rare chalk stream that plays a central role in supplying Southampton and the Isle of Wight, have fallen to around half their usual levels or lower at some monitoring points. That leaves Southern Water with a difficult balancing act. It needs to take enough water from the river to supply customers, while also meeting environmental requirements designed to protect the Test. Since 2018, the company has been required by the Environment Agency to maintain higher flows in the river to protect its environment. Southern Water says that if restrictions on abstraction from the Test are reached, one of its service reservoirs could provide supplies for only a day or two before parts of the network begin to struggle. In its application, the company reportedly warned that the Southampton West supply area could then be significantly affected by a restricted water supply, potentially leaving some customers without water from their taps. A ban that goes beyond the hosepipe The proposed restrictions would mark a significant escalation from the temporary use bans already introduced across parts of the country. A temporary use ban, commonly known as a hosepipe ban, generally targets household activities such as watering gardens or washing cars. A non-essential use ban can go further by restricting certain commercial and business uses of water. That could put swimming pools, car dealers, window cleaners and other businesses in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight under pressure if the order is approved and implemented. Such bans are unusual. The last one was imposed in 2006, with the previous example dating back to 1996. The wider water situation has already been deteriorating. Government drought reports have recorded falling river flows and declining reservoir storage, while almost 40 per cent of England's population was facing water-use restrictions by late July. Southern Water itself introduced a temporary use ban covering Hampshire and the Isle of Wight from July 10. The company had also sought a similar non-essential use ban during the previous drought, but rainfall eventually meant it was not needed. The company has stressed that applying for the order does not mean it will necessarily be used. It says the approval process takes time and that it needs to have options available if exceptionally dry conditions persist. No other water company has so far sought a restriction of the same scale, according to reports. The government is also keeping the decision under review. A Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokesman reportedly said ministers were working with the Environment Agency, water companies, farmers and environmental groups to protect supplies while limiting damage to nature. Britain is running out of room for hot, dry weather The pressure on Southern Water comes as the UK heads towards what could become another record-breaking summer. Met Office figures show the average UK temperature for the summer so far has reached 16.48C, compared with 16.12C for last summer, which currently holds the record. The Met Office said on August 11 that only average temperatures for the rest of August would be needed for 2026 to overtake last year's record. Five heatwaves have already pushed up demand for water, while prolonged dry conditions have put rivers, reservoirs and agriculture under additional pressure. For Southern Water, the immediate concern is the gap between how much water customers are using and how much can safely be taken from the River Test. If rain returns, the proposed restrictions may never come into force. If the dry spell continues, however, the government could be faced with an unusual choice: place tighter limits on businesses now, or risk allowing water supplies in parts of Hampshire to come under greater strain later. For the 165,000 people identified by Southern Water, that distinction could become increasingly important as the summer progresses.

Anupam Kher opens up on over 40 years of his acting legacy; says, I want people to remember that he was a good human being

After more than four decades in Bollywood, Anupam Kher continues to explore different roles across films and theatre. However, the veteran actor says he does not want to be defined only by his acting career. Instead, he hopes people remember him as a good human being. Speaking about his journey and legacy with Hindustan Times, Kher said he believes there is still a lot left for him to accomplish. Abhi toh shuruwat hui hai, abhi toh bahut kuch karna haiI enjoy my journey on a daily basis. I don't look back. I'm very proud of the fact that I have achieved so much, but I don't gloat about it, he said. The 71-year-old actor added that he does not carry the pressure of his own legacy. I don't carry the burden of Anupam Kher on my shoulders. Every day is a great day. Every day life is beautiful. Every day I wake up, and I say, Thank you, God, I woke up. A lot of people do not wake up. When asked how he would like to be remembered, Anupam made it clear that being called a great actor is not his priority. I want people to remember that he was a good human being. That's it. That's what matters because mere se phele bahut kamal ke log aaye hain, aur mere baad bhi aayenge. Abhi Ashaji aur Dharam ji gaye hain, jinhone kitna kaam kiya tha, he said. He further added, I'm not interested in being remembered as a great actor. Of course, there have been so many great actors. But if I have touched people's lives somewhere, that is what stays with people for a longer time. Apart from films, theatre continues to play an important role in his life. Talking about his play Jaane Pehchaane Anjane, Anupam said, Theatre zinda rakhta hai mere andar ke actor ko aur insaan ko. It has a lot to do with reinvention. I get reinvented as an actor and as a person when I do theatre The joy of seeing the audience reacting and the fear of not being able to do the retake, the palpitation, the connecting with the audience, the bond with the co-actors Apne zinda hone ka ehsaas hota hai when I do theatre.

Dog scare grips Kotranka, around dozen people attacked

Rajouri, Aug 11:Fear of suspected rabies-infected stray dogs continues to haunt parts of Kotranka sub-division of Rajouri district, with around a dozen people reportedly attacked and bitten by dogs in the area. The situation first came to light late Sunday evening when a suspected rabies-infected dog attacked several people in Kotranka market. At least seven persons were subsequently taken to the Sub-District Hospital Kotranka for medical aid and treatment. The scare intensified after reports emerged that the suspected rabies-infected dog had also bitten other stray dogs in the area, triggering panic among the local population and raising concerns about the possible spread of rabies. As a precautionary measure, all government and private schools in the affected areas remained closed on Monday. Zonal Education Planning Officer (ZEPO) Kotranka, IshtyaqChowdhary said that a total number of forty four schools of seven panchayats of the area remained close on Monday and students were not allowed to attend the institution as a precautionary measure. He stated that students were not allowed to attend the schools on Tuesday also as a part of prevention amid bad weather conditions and heavy rainfall. ZEPO further stated that decision to keep schools open on Wednesday will be taken after consultation with sub divisional administration further informing that parents have been advised to remain cautious and not to send their wards alone. While students did not attend schools on Tuesday, teaching and non-teaching staff reportedly remained present. It has been learnt that the administration has ordered the closure of schools in the area in view of adverse weather conditions. However, amid continued fear of stray dogs, many parents have also been reluctant to send their children to school. The local population has urged the administration and concerned authorities to launch an immediate drive to identify and safely capture or neutralise suspected rabies-infected dogs and take necessary measures to contain the threat.

Psychology says people may feel more confident after making a decision, even when the decision hasn't worked yet

The psychology of decision-making suggests that how we feel while making a choice can be very different from how successful that choice ultimately turns out to be.

Ukrainian drone strike in Russia kills at least 13 people, injures 75

Washington DC , August 11: A Ukrainian drone strike deep inside Russia's Tatarstan region on Monday resulted in the death of at least 13 people, including a child, while injuring dozens of others, CNN reported, citing local authorities. The Ukrainian drone strike in the city of Nizhnekamsk marks the deadliest attack to hit the country in more than two years. Nizhnekamsk, located about 1,000 kilometres east of Moscow, is the site of the major, technologically advanced Taneco oil refinery, which Ukraine's armed forces said they had targeted. It was reported that a child was among those killed in Nizhnekamsk, according to the Russian Investigative Committee, while 21 people have been hospitalised, the region's press service said. Meanwhile, another four people were killed over the last 24 hours in the Russian region of Belgorod, which borders Ukraine, the region's acting governor Alexandr Shuvayev said on Monday. Referring to the videos circulating on social media, and geolocated by CNN, a huge blaze was seen raging and plumes of smoke rising from an area just outside the city, close to what appear to be the characteristic towers of an oil refinery. It was not clear exactly what was struck in the attack. The recent strike comes in the wake of both Kyiv and Moscow intensifying their aerial attacks against one another, while the frontlines of the war largely stagnate. Citing UN data, CNN reported that July was the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since April 2022. 1,396 people have been killed and 7,978 injured in the first six months of the year, an increase from 2024 and 2025, the UN said recently. The strike comes as Ukraine's long-range drone technology have seen improvement in recent months, and has demonstrated a newfound ability to frequently strike infrastructure deep inside Russia--such as oil refineries, tankers, power substations and broader energy infrastructure as well as warehouses belonging to Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries, CNN noted.
