Sridevis iconic Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja look was inspired by Eddie Murphys Coming to America
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 8 (IANS) National Award-winning designer Neeta Lulla has shared an anecdote about creating late star Sridevis larger-than-life look for the 1993 film Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. She shared that the iconic costume was inspired by Eddie Murphys Hollywood film Coming to America, which released in 1988. Neeta took to Instagram, where she shared a video of herself talking about watching Coming to America in 1988. 1988, Coming to America released. I watched the movie and enjoyed it. A couple of weeks later, I got a call from Sridevi that I need to work on a song for Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. When I met her, this movie and the clothes were still fresh in my memory. So in my discussion, I asked her if she could do something which is really larger than life with feathers and something that I couldn't really think of but I suddenly started to sketch, said Neeta. She added: I sketched out this outfit with a lot of layering on the skirt with gold metal on the bodice and a headgear with feathers on it and she smiled, she said, will you really be able to achieve this? I said, yes, I want to achieve it. The designer said that once the entire meeting was over and she had discussed and finalized this, the process of creating the garment started. I went into Crawford Market, the famous Crawford Market and laid my hands on these beautiful feathers that were available then which I used and created the headgear with chain mail, with stones, rhinestones, with metal pieces all intertwined together and fixed the feathers onto the headgear, said the designer. The dress was finally done and I took the outfit for fittings. And she looked at it and she said, she was really happy about the whole look. And then we started to shoot. Those days, a song was shot over at least 10 to 12 days. This particular song went from morning till very late in the night. I remember every day the shoot would start by 9 o'clock, but it would end around 10, 10.30. And I would carry the clothes back, restructure them, refinish them, check on the feathers, check on the jewelry, attach the pieces back because the dance move was really heavy and take it back for shoot the next day. And the song came out as you saw it (sic). In the caption section, she wrote: ..The kind of creation that teaches you to dream bigger and become a part of cinematic history. For Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, the vision was larger than life and so was the challenge. This creation was built with feathers, rhinestones and handmade and 800 metal etched with Egyptian palmette motifs . Absolutely pushing the boundaries of what could be imagined, constructed and worn on set. Sridevi herself wondered if the vision could be brought to life. An idea can be extraordinary, but needs to be bought to life through imagination, craftsmanship and sheer determination...(sic). Roop ki Rani Choron Ka Raja stars Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Anupam Kher, Johnny Lever and Jackie Shroff. It was the highest-budget Hindi film at that time. The film was directed by Satish Kaushik and written by Javed Akhtar. The project, announced in 1987, was initially directed by Shekhar Kapur, who left the project halfway through; he was subsequently replaced by Satish Kaushik. It told the story of Jugran, a criminal, who brutally murders a customs officer and a doctor. Their orphaned children grow up facing troubles and decide to seek revenge against their parents' killer.

Bhopal Police chief issues strict order against inflammatory social media content
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Sep 8 (IANS) In a bid to safeguard communal harmony and public order, Bhopal Urban Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar has issued a preventive order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, prohibiting the circulation of objectionable and inflammatory content on social media platforms. The order released on Monday follows concerns raised by media and the public that anti-social elements have been using platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, X, Instagram, Telegram and others to spread messages, images, videos and audio clips capable of disrupting the social fabric, creating enmity between communities and hurting religious sentiments in Bhopal city. According to the order, such content, especially when accompanied by comments and cross-comments, often fuels greater hostility than the original social media posts themselves. The Commissioner noted that these internet social media wars remain active and pose a real threat to public peace and law and order. Under the restrictions, no person shall misuse any social media platform to circulate messages that inflame religious, social or caste-based sentiments or promote enmity. The transmission of any objectionable or provocative photos, videos or audio that could spark communal discord is banned. Users are also prohibited from liking, commenting on, sharing or forwarding such posts. Group administrators have been made personally responsible for preventing the spread of such content in their groups. No individual is also allowed to spread communal, religious or caste hatred, create enmity, provoke or incite violence, or circulate rumours and distorted facts that could lead people or communities into violence or illegal activities. Calls for gatherings aimed at unlawful activities that threaten law and order are also forbidden, the order warned. Owners of cyber cafes within Bhopal city limits must not permit unidentified persons to use their facilities. They are required to maintain a register recording the handwritten name, address, telephone number and identity proof of every user, and install web cameras to photograph visitors and preserve the records. The order has been issued ex-parte under Section 163(2) of the BNSS in the interest of public safety, as there was insufficient time to serve notices to all concerned parties. It takes effect immediately and will remain in force for two months unless withdrawn earlier. Violation of the order, the Police Commissioner said, is punishable under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, among other applicable laws.

Reflecting on the difficult period, Celina revealed that she has had no contact with her brother since his detention on September 6, 2024. She said she has done everything possible as a sister and continues to place her faith in God and the Government of India. Sharing a post on Instagram on September 6, 2026, Celina wrote, 6 September 2026 marks. Two years today since Maj Vikrant was taken. 6th September 2024 to 6th September 2026. These two years have changed both my brothers life & mine in ways only known to us. I have had no contact with my brother since. I have done everything I can as a sister, & I continue to stand by him, wherever he is, however he is, with faith & hope in God & the Government of India. Celina also spoke about her brothers military background. She described Vikrant as a fourth-generation infantry soldier who was commissioned into the Corps of Signals after training at the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering. He later joined the elite Special Forces and served with 3 Para Special Forces. He also served on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and received the Chief of the Army Staff Commendation for Gallantry.

Following the development, Celina maintained that her primary concern had always been her brothers safety and well-being.

Duleep Trophy: Ishan Kishans Epic 270, Kumar Kushagras 101 Propels East Zone To 708
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Skipper Ishan Kishan smashed a monumental 270 while Kumar Kushagra hit a fine century to put East Zone in complete command of the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone by posting a colossal 708 at the end of the second innings of the match, played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday. Kishans 334-ball knock, laced with 30 fours and seven sixes, registered the eighth-highest individual score in a Duleep Trophy match. Kushagra, on the other hand, hit 101 off 132 balls, studded with eight fours and five sixes, ensuring that a total in excess of 700 was registered at Chepauk for only the third time in first-class cricket history before East Zone were finally bowled out by stumps. Resuming from their overnight score of 385/4, East Zone continued to pile on the runs right from the outset. Desperately seeking wickets, South Zone took the new ball after delaying it for just one over, but neither Mohammad Siraj nor MD Nidheesh could find an early breakthrough. Kishan got going immediately, collecting successive boundaries off Siraj before giving the same treatment to Nidheesh. Kushagra soon joined the party from the other end as, on either side of the drinks break, South Zone introduced spinners Tripurana Vijay and Shreyas Gopal into the attack, but it didnt change the trajectory of East Zones innings. Kushagra moved into the nineties with a couple of boundaries off Gopal before eventually bringing up his sixth first-class century. South Zone finally got the much-needed breakthrough closer to the lunch break when Kushagra found the fielder at fine leg off Vijay. For Kishan, however, it remained business as usual as he continued to manipulate the field with ease. Taking full toll of a tiring opposition, the aggressive left-hander slammed three boundaries in a single over from Gopal. South Zone attempted to break his momentum by deploying part-timers Devdutt Padikkal and Shaikh Rasheed, but to no avail as Kishan reached his double century off 270 balls. After crossing the milestone, Kishan accelerated rapidly and hit boundaries with immaculate ease to move past 250, with South Zone eagerly anticipating a declaration. Even after guiding his side past the 600-run mark, the captain showed no intention of declaring. Although fatigue briefly caught up with Kishan and forced him to retire temporarily, the runs kept flowing for East Zone. With the total edging closer to 700, Mohammed Shami departed for a quickfire 28, which brought Kishan back to the crease in pursuit of a rare triple century. However, wickets falling at the other end forced his hand, and he was eventually caught near the long-on boundary, falling just 30 runs short of the 300-mark. By the time the East Zone innings ended at 708, they had firmly taken charge of winning the summit clash against a tiring South Zone. Although fatigue briefly caught up with Kishan and forced him to retire temporarily, the runs kept flowing for East Zone. With the total edging closer to 700, Mohammed Shami departed for a quickfire 28, which brought Kishan back to the crease in pursuit of a rare triple century.

CM Reddy alleges conspiracy to delete one crore voters in Telangana
Hyderabad, Sep 7 (IANS) Telangana Chief Minister, A. Revanth Reddy, on Monday alleged that there is a conspiracy to remove one crore voters in Telangana during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He alleged that the BJP was conspiring to delete anti-BJP votes under the guise of SIR. He accused the party of targeting the votes of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and minorities. The Chief Minister was speaking a programme to pay tributes to Communist leader Sarampally Malla Reddy, who passed away recently. Revanth Reddy underlined the need for all the non-BJP parties to unite to fight against BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the national level. Unable to win elections democratically, they are adopting new tactics. BJP leaders are brazenly declaring that they will replicate in Telangana what they did in West Bengal. They are systematically removing anti-BJP votes, he said. He claimed that the BJP was employing private agencies to conduct surveys and systematically delete votes. He also accused the saffron party of using the Election Commission for its political agenda. The Chief Minister alleged that Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is not uttering a single word about SIR. He said the Communist parties must understand the nature of the understanding that exists behind this. He underlined the need to protect the fundamental rights of the poor and minorities. Stating that Communists have long been fighting for the rights of the poor, he said the sight of the Red Flag gives the poor a sense of reassurance. He urged the Left parties to strive to safeguard the voting rights of the poor and minorities. The Chief Minister recalled that Communists fought for fair wages for the landless poor and that it was the Congress party that enacted the Minimum Wages Act. He said while Communists fought for land to the tiller, the Congress government distributed 24.56 lakh acres of assigned land. Stating that 10 lakh acres of land are currently in the hands of Adivasis, he said this represents the Congress party's solution to the struggles waged by Communists. He said the Congress party provided employment through the Employment Guarantee Act, enacted the Food Security Act and addressed every issue raised by the Communists. The Chief Minister said Sarampally Malla Reddy had dedicated his life to the cause of farmers and termed his demise an irreparable loss to the farming community. He stated that Malla Reddy was unparalleled in his understanding of farmers' issues and his ability to articulate them with great refinement. He recalled that the late leader fought vigorously for the rights of tenant farmers and for remunerative prices for crops. Revanth Reddy assured that his government will strive to address agrarian issues by keeping in mind the books Malla Reddy wrote and the causes he championed. He said after a discussion in the Cabinet, the government will decide on how perpetuate the memory of Malla Reddy.

After nearly 17 years in the industry, Sikandar Kher says his relationship with acting has become more complicated with time. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor opened up about how his approach to the craft has evolved, describing his equation with acting through the analogy of a marriage. Looking back at his journey from his assistant director days to becoming an actor, Sikandar said he did not initially have a relationship with acting. I was just going on set and doing whatever I was doing, he said. Describing his current equation with the craft, he added, My relationship with acting is extremely complicated. It's not a situationship. It's a relationship. I am married. I am a married man with acting. Let's just say that. There are always fights. Sikandar went on to explain that despite the occasional frustrations, he remains deeply attached to the profession. I have a friendship with acting, to make it sound as beautiful as it can. Because I am not only madly in love with her. I would do anything for her. But I also get very upset with her from time to time, where she can also get upset with me, he said, referring to acting as she. The actor also spoke about deliberately pushing himself beyond his comfort zone. According to him, stepping into unfamiliar territory can bring nervousness and self-doubt, but ultimately teaches him more about himself. For Sikandar, the people he works with are equally important to the process. The whole thing should be joy. The making of something should be joy. It should be fun, at least for an actor, he said, adding that he continues to believe there is always something new to learn. When asked about his non-negotiables while choosing a project, Sikandar initially pointed to the script, but stressed that he is willing to make significant physical transformations for a role. I will become bald for my character. So there is nothing non-negotiable, to be very honest, he said. However, the actor drew a clear line when it comes to his ethical boundaries. Recalling a scene from a show that he felt was unnecessary, he said he had refused to perform it, particularly because he did not believe the scene was important to the character or story. There are some things that might be non-negotiable, that might be ethically something that I do not agree with. That will be non-negotiable, Sikandar said. For him, the fundamental principle remains simple: Just respect for one another is important. Sikandar Kher is set for a busy second half of 2026, with several projects lined up across different stages of production. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor revealed that while he is currently shooting for multiple projects, he is also gearing up for the release of Prahaar and working on dubbing assignments. When asked how things were going, Sikandar responded with his characteristic humour. It's going good. You tell me, you kept me on hold for so long, he said. Asked if he had been shooting for something secret, the actor replied, Many secret things I am shooting for, many. While he remained tight-lipped about those projects, Sikandar shared, Dahaad (Season 2) is going on. Prahaar is releasing. There are some things that are going to start. Some dubbing is going on. So yeah, by the grace of God, I am busy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SK (@sikandarkher) With several projects in the pipeline, the actor was asked if audiences could expect more of him in the second half of 2026. You will get tired of seeing me. There are going to be so many releases, he said.

Kritika Kamra revisits Gianni Versaces 90s rebellion in Archival runway look
Following her recent appearance in an archival Dior gown at her wedding reception, Kritika Kamra has once again looked to fashion history for inspiration. At a recent event in Mumbai, the actor wore an archival Gianni Versace runway piece from the designers Fall/Winter 1992 collection, famously known as the Miss S&M or Bondage collection. The outfit was also a fitting choice for the theme of the event she attended. The collection remains among Versaces most provocative and unconventional works, with the designer drawing on themes of rebellion, sexuality and subversion and translating them into high fashion. Kritika gave the vintage piece a contemporary touch, carrying the look with confidence while staying true to its original character. With her background in fashion and continued interest in the craft, the actor has often shown an appreciation for the thought and history behind the clothes she chooses, rather than simply following current trends. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kritika Kamra (@kkamra) Her latest Versace appearance marks her second archival fashion moment in recent weeks, following her Dior gown. Through these choices, Kritika continues to explore archival fashion as more than a nod to nostalgia, using significant pieces from fashion history to connect past styles with the present. Her approach also highlights the growing interest in archival fashion, where iconic designs from earlier eras are being revisited and styled for contemporary occasions.

Prowl, the mens grooming brand founded by action star Tiger Shroff, recently announced the next phase of its growth journey in partnership with Amazon.in. The brand unveiled an expanded 18-SKU grooming portfolio spanning skincare and perfumes for men including 4 fragrances launching exclusively on Amazon.in. It also announced its first full-scale brand campaign featuring Tiger Shroff and a fresh round of growth capital. Together, these milestones mark Prowl's next step in building a modern, simple and high-performance grooming brand for the Indian man. Prowl entered the mens grooming category in June 2025 with a focused, data-led trial run of six core SKUs. Built around everyday utility, effective formulations and accessible pricing, the initial range was created specifically for Indian men looking for grooming solutions that fit seamlessly into their daily lives. What followed was a strong validation of the brands proposition. The trial range resonated with consumers across marketplaces, helping Prowl rapidly build momentum among men seeking simple, science-backed grooming staples suited to Indian skin, climate and lifestyle needs. Now, building on that early success, Prowl is expanding into a broader everyday grooming universe with 18 products across daily essentials, including body wash, face wash, body lotion, sunscreen, moisturizer, serums, lip balms, soap, roll-on and fragrances. The expanded range will be available on Amazon, deepening the brands flagship marketplace partnership as it scales nationally, with 4 fragrances launching exclusively on Amazon. Tiger Shroff, Founder, Prowl, said, Prowl has always come from a very real place for me. I wanted products that fit into the everyday life of the Indian man; products that are effective, uncomplicated and easy to use. Were not here to create a 10-step ritual or make skincare feel complicated with confusing language. Were here to make grooming simple, dependable and accessible, so men can feel confident, fresh and ready every day. The Prowl premium mens perfumes range, Make Your Move includes four distinct fragrances, each built for a different moment in a mans day: Fresh Start, a citrus and sea-breeze scent for the morning; Active Rush, a cool, herbal fragrance designed for post-workout energy; Alpha Wood, a woody, grounded signature scent for everyday confidence; and Dark Instinct, a warm, spiced fragrance made for date nights. Siddharth Bhagat, Director, Amazon Beauty, Personal Care & Fashion Accessories, added, Men's grooming on Amazon.in is growing XX year-on-year, with customers moving beyond basic grooming to explore skincare, body care and fragrances. With this in mind, we're excited to launch PROWL's expanded range on Amazon.in, including fragrances exclusive to Amazon. The range is designed around everyday utility and accessible pricing; qualities that align with what we're seeing customers look for. As this category continues to grow, we remain focused on bringing customers greater choice and relevant products suited to their evolving grooming needs. The launch also marks the debut of Prowl's first brand campaign featuring Tiger Shroff, bringing alive the brands point of view through a high drama but relatable narrative built around the many real-life archetypes and use cases of the Indian man. The campaign captures the spirit of being prepared for everyday encounters; from work and travel to workouts, city life and social moments, while staying true to Prowl's proposition of uncomplicated grooming that works. Shriyash Jichkar, CEO, Prowl, said, Our first phase proved that Indian men are ready for grooming products that are straightforward, high-performing and built for their everyday realities. The response gave us the confidence to expand thoughtfully. With this next chapter, were not just launching more products but were also building a long-term brand for the modern Indian man. At the heart of Prowl is a clear brand philosophy: grooming should not feel intimidating, overcomplicated or performative. It should be easy to understand, easy to adopt and effective enough to become part of a mans everyday routine. That thinking has shaped everything from product formulation and category selection to pricing, packaging and communication. PROWL believes every Indian man striving to get ahead was Born Ready and our mission is to help him Be Ready for every moment that matters.

Duleep Trophy final: Kishan's hundred leads East's run glut on day-1
Skipper Ishan Kishan struck a flowing unbeaten 111, leading East Zone to a commanding 385 for four against a sloppy South Zone on the opening day of the Duleep Trophy final here on Sunday. Kishan (14x4, 1x6) and Kumar Kushagra (63) were batting at stumps, and the fifth wicket pair has so far added 144 runs in just 26.4 overs. The other contributors were teen phenom Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (44, 37b), Abhimanyu Easwaran (72), and Shikhar Mohan (85). Kishan, who completed 4000 first-class runs, merged aggression and composure to a nicety in his 135-ball knock, and raised 94 runs for the fourth wicket with Mohan. It came at an important juncture too when East were in trouble, the only time in the first innings so far, at 147 for three. South could have had their rivals in a far deeper predicament but Kishan and Mohan averted the disaster on a pitch that remained true the whole day. Kishans was a complete innings, sending the ball to all parts of the field through powerful pulls and imperious drives through the covers. The left-hander reached his fifty in 71 balls and then the next 50 came off 51 balls, completing his 10th first-class hundred. Kishan reached the landmark with a driven four off Shreyas Gopal, who was playing in his 100th first-class match. At the other end, Mohan has a solid presence, showing a lot more maturity than his tender 21 years. The feature of his innings was the judgment he showed to leave the ball outside off-stump. There was not even one single play and miss in his innings. But his fifty was not all about defence as Mohan carted off-spinner Tripurana Vijay for a six and two fours in one over to showcase his range. Just as he was nearing a well-deserved hundred, Mohan chopped left-arm pacer CV Milind, who replaced an injured Vidwath Kaverappa, on to his stumps. In fact, it was the Easts first innings story in a nutshell, batters getting dismissed before the innings reached the full bloom. Easwaran, who is often dubbed as an obdurate batter, looked in complete control, and at times even outpaced Sooryavanshi. They milked 100 runs for the opening wicket in just 14.overs and East seldom let that momentum slip. Sooryavanshi would curse himself for playing a rather reckless pull off Milind for substitute Tanay Thayagarajan to offer a simple catch in the deep. It, perhaps, was the first time South bowlers tested the young left-hander with a short-pitched ball and it yielded instant results. The whole sequence will teach the Bihar youngster to show more patience in the middle, particularly when nearly 10,000 spectators thronged the MA Chidambaram Stadium to watch the latest wonder kid in cricket. Kushagra too played with determination as South withered under a barrage of runs. Nothing more revealed the plight of South than the sight of lead pacer Mohammad Siraj going through three colourless spells. The India quick's outing on the day read 5-0-41-0, 5-1-24-0 and 4-0-31-0 for an overall reading of 14-1-96-0. Siraj was clobbered around by Sooryavanshi (6, 4, 4), Easwaran (4, 4), Kushagra (6, 4) as the Hyderabad man struggled to make an impact. He can partly blame a flat pitch for his ineffectiveness, but there was no real attempt from his side to alter the course of the happenings.

Mystery shrouds death of couple in Bengals Cooch Behar
Kolkata, Sep 6 (IANS) Sensation had surfaced at Bakshirhat under Tufanganj community development block in Cooch Behar district of West Bengal on Sunday following the recovery of a couples body under mysterious circumstances at two different locations within and near their residence. While the body of the husband, Sunil Biswas (70), was recovered from within their residence, the body of his wife, Janki Biswas (45), was recovered from within the thick bushes near that house. Janki is the second wife of Sunil. Incidentally, Sunils first wife, Gita Biswas and their biological son, Sajal Biswas, stay in the same locality but at a separate residence. The Cooch Behar district police have so far detained four persons for interrogation in the matter. However, the district police are yet to declare their identities for the sake of secrecy in the investigation process. Injury marks created by sharp weapons have been detected on the bodies of both Sunil and Janki. Their bodies have been sent for post-mortem purposes. A district police officer said that on receiving the information about Sunils body from his residence, the cops from the Bakshirhat Police Station reached the residence. However, at that point in time, Janki was untraceable at the residence. The police started looking for her and finally recovered her body from the bushes, which were barely 20 meters away from their residence. Sensation is prevailing in the area over the mysterious death of Sunil and Janki. After initial investigation, the investigating officials are more or less convinced that the couple was murdered. But there is confusion about the reason. The police, led by Additional Superintendent of Police Ricky Agrawal, have started searching for the weapon used in the murder and other evidence. The police have detained four persons so far for interrogation purposes. However, the cops are not willing to reveal anything further at this moment right now for the sake of the investigation. The local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator and the West Bengal minister of state for women and child welfare Malti Rava Roy said that she had heard the news that a couple had been murdered. However, I do not know the reason for the murder. The police have started an investigation. I hope the criminals will be caught soon, she said.

Before Isha entered the 'Bigg Boss 20' house as one of the contestants, she dropped an Instagram Story, saying, There are many rumors circulating about my marriage. Its shocking to hear and read the news reports appearing in certain quarters. I request certain sections of the media not to spread any rumors regarding my marriage or separation. I also urge the general public not to believe anything they read or hear unless the information comes directly from me or through my official social media handles. Thank you.
Punjab Cabinet takes exception to appointment of High Court Chief Justice without state opinion
Chandigarh, Sep 6 (IANS) The Punjab Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Sunday condemned the BJP-led Central Government for bypassing the states constitutional rights and established procedure. Taking exception to the appointment of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra as Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court without awaiting the views of the state government, the Cabinet resolved that the appointment and administration of oath should be put on hold until Punjabs views are obtained and duly considered. The Chief Ministers Office stated, The rights of Punjab have been violated by the Union government for a long time. In recent times, the interference from the Centre has increased to an unprecedented extent wherein the rights of Punjab as enshrined under the Constitution of India and several rules and regulations have been denied on multiple occasions. It stated, The Union unanimously altered the rules of the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) by removing the traditional convention that guaranteed the Member (Power) was selected from Punjab, thereby diluting the states representation over its own river waters and dams. Further, the Union has proposed centralisation of Panjab University, which was strongly opposed by Punjab, but the Union has continued its interference to overpower the stronghold and authority of the people of Punjab by misusing its authority. The Punjab Cabinet pointed out, The BJP-led Central government has also denied over Rs 9,000 crore of RDF dues to the government of Punjab, thereby inflicting great pain and suffering on the farmers who are the beneficiaries of the infrastructure sought to be created through RDF funds. Similarly, the Union through the Prime Minister announced a relief package of Rs 1,600 crore after the devastating floods in 2025; however, not a single rupee of this package has been disbursed to Punjab till date. Pointing to the most recent notification of September 5, the Punjab Cabinet noted, The Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India, the President of India passed an order appointing Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra as the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. This appointment has been made without obtaining the consent of the state government, thereby bypassing all Constitutional norms and set procedures. The Cabinet stated, The Memorandum of Procedure for appointment and transfer of Chief Justices and Judges of High Court, in its Para 6, clearly indicates that after receipt of the recommendation of the Chief Justice of India, the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs would obtain the views of the state government. After receipt of the views of the state government, the Union Minister of Law, Justice and Company Affairs will submit proposals to the Prime Minister, who will then advise the President as to the selection. The Chief Minister's Office noted, As posted on July 25 by the Press Information Bureau, Government of India, in a reply to a Question appearing in Lok Sabha, the Union Minister for Law, Justice and Company Affairs informed the House that appointment of Judges in the higher judiciary is a continuous, integrated and collaborative process between the Executive and Judiciary. It requires consultation and approval from various constitutional authorities, both at the State and Central level. In the instant case, the Collegium of the Supreme Court of India, vide minutes dated August 6 have recommended the appointment of Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra, Acting Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, as the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. On August 12, Punjab received the letter from Arjun Ram Meghwal, Minister of State for Law and Justice, for the consent of Punjab in terms of Para 6 of the Memorandum showing the procedure for appointment and transfer of Chief Justices and Judges of the High Court, it added. The Cabinet pointed out, However, in complete disregard to the Memorandum of Procedures and established Constitutional norms, the Union has hurriedly notified the appointment of the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court without awaiting response of the state government. It added, It is pertinent to note that no clear time limit is prescribed for the state and the Governor to send its recommendation in the case of appointment of the Chief Justice. Whereas, in the year 2024, when a judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice Gurmeet Singh Sandhawalia, was recommended by the Collegium of the Supreme Court of India for his appointment as Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court, the same proposal was not notified by the Ministry of Law and Justice for more than two months and understandably on not receiving the recommendation from the Madhya Pradesh government. Later on, the Collegium and the Ministry of Law and Justice changed his appointment to the Himachal Pradesh High Court. As such, the feeling of perceived discrimination gets solidified in the sense that when a case of a Judge of Punjab is to be considered, it is dealt differently as that in a case of another Judge from another High Court getting appointed in Punjab, it stated. The Cabinet affirmed, Such actions on the part of Central Government, especially on the issue of crucial appointments in judiciary, has compelled the state Cabinet to deliberate and express its concerns over the persistent issues affecting the states constitutional rights and equitable treatment within the Indian federal framework. In order to ensure transparency, procedural propriety and the maintenance of judicial uprightness, it is therefore imperative that the aforesaid appointment and administration of oath be put on hold until the views of Punjab, as contemplated under Paragraph 6 of the memorandum, are obtained and duly considered by the competent authority. Thereafter, the matter may be proceeded with in accordance with the procedure prescribed under the said memorandum.

Duleep Trophy: Ishan Bhaiya Was Giving Me A Lot Of Advice While Batting, Says Shikhar Mohan
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Young Jharkhand batter Shikhar Mohan credited senior partner and captain Ishan Kishan's constant guidance behind him making a fluent 85 on Duleep Trophy debut, as he played a vital role in putting East Zone in command on opening day of the 2026/27 Duleep Trophy final against a star-studded South Zone. Drafted into the playing eleven as a replacement for Jharkhand teammate Virat Singh, Mohan and Kishan added 94 runs for the third wicket to rebuild the innings. Kishan remained unbeaten on 111 at the end of day ones play, with Kumar Kushagra giving him company on 63 not out, as East Zones score read 385/4 in 79 overs. Ishan bhaiya was giving me a lot of advice while batting. He was telling me what shot is on and what is not. Thanks to that, we had a great partnership, Mohan told reporters at the end of days play. Mohan earned his place in the East Zone side following an outstanding debut Ranji Trophy season, in which he scored 613 runs at an average of 55.72. Though a specialist opener, he adapted seamlessly to the number three position. My journey has been very good so far. My first season in Ranji Trophy went very well, so coming into this match, I just wanted to carry that forward. I was looking to maintain that form from the Ranji Trophy. I didnt face any problem. The openers are Abhimanyu bhai and Vaibhav bhai, so obviously there is no space as an opener. My mindset was that wherever I get a chance, I should do well for the team, he added. South Zone pacers attempted to test Mohan with a short-ball tactic in the post-lunch session, but the youngster displayed remarkable restraint before inside-edging off a bouncer from Chama Milind. I didnt face any problem. The openers are Abhimanyu bhai and Vaibhav bhai, so obviously there is no space as an opener. My mindset was that wherever I get a chance, I should do well for the team, he added.

Captain Ishan Kishan: Captain Ishan Kishan scored an unbeaten hundred as he took East Zone to a strong position at the end of Day 1 of the Duleep Trophy final against South Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Kishan went back unbeaten on 111, while the other wicketkeeper batter Kumar Kushagra also remained unscathed on 63 as the two took East to a strong score of 385/4 in 79 overs on stumps. South's bowlers were laboured at Chepauk, and several of them took the beating from the East batters, as Shikhar Mohan (85), Abhimanyu Easwaran (72) and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (44) also put up impressive performances with the willow. The fans turned out in numbers at Chepuak after East Zone skipper Ishan won the toss. There was an air of excitement to watch teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in action as fans filled the stands opened for the match. The 15-year-old did not disappoint a bit and marched his way to a stroke-filled 44 from 37 balls after treading with caution at the start. He had a fascinating battle with fellow international and senior Mohammed Siraj, who beat him with hard lengths but was then taken to the cleaners by the rising sensation. Sooryavanshi lined the Test speedster for three fours and a six in the 12 balls he faced from him in an enthralling show for the fans. Sooryavanshi's stay was ended by Chama V Milind on a short ball, while Easwaran also impressed well during his 72 as East were in ascendancy after the first session, having scored 133/2 in the 27 overs before lunch. South deployed spin from both ends in the second session, but Mohan negated the challenge and kept the scoreboard ticking. Milind came and got Mohan short of his century with a short-ball ploy; however, Kishan carried on and was joined by Kushagra later. The two batters went all cylinders behind the South's tiring attack in the final session as they put up an unbeaten stand of 144 from 160 balls and did not lose a single wicket in the final session. After being 246/4 at tea, it was this session which East Zone stole completely apart from a strong first session. East made runs at 5.56 an over as they collected 139 runs from 25 overs to end the day on a high note. The South bowlers struggled, and Siraj's return was not impressive either. The speedster failed to touch 135kph for the majority of his 14 overs as he stayed in the mid-120s and was hit for 96 runs at 6.90 an over and failed to pick a single wicket.

Parmish Verma says he has zero space for negativity after announcing divorce from wife Geet Grewal
Mumbai, Sep 6 (IANS) Punjabi singer-actor Parmish Verma has shared a message about staying away from negativity in life, days after announcing his separation from wife Geet Grewal. Taking to Instagram, the Gaal Ni Kadni singer shared glimpses from his fathers birthday celebration and expressed his admiration for him. Parmish also emphasized the importance of keeping negativity at bay. Sharing images, he wrote, Negativity di thaan Zindagi ch Zero, Ni main kisse da ni fan, Mera Bapu mera Hero (Zero space for negativity in life. Im not a fan of anyone; my father is my hero.) The photos show the actor posing with his father, mother, and brother, Sukhan Verma. In one of the images, Parmish is seen feeding a piece of cake to his dad. The other pictures capture him posing with his mother and sharing sweet moments with his family. The post comes a day after the Punjabi singer-actor confirmed his divorce from Geet Grewal in a social media statement. Parmish also acknowledged that there is a woman in his life at present. His clarification came amid weeks of trolling and speculation surrounding his alleged relationship with actress and model Harman Brar, along with claims that he had been unfaithful to his former wife, Geet Grewal. Parmish wrote, Being a man makes you a convenient psychological scapegoat; blame the gender, simplify the story, and the mob gets to feel morally superior. I understand the psychology of it, and I accept the burden without resentment. When I was drowning, nobody came to save me. I dealt with my own consequences, carried my own pain, and learned to stand again. That, too, is being a man. The singer added, So is having the discipline to respect my ex-wife, respect the woman in my life today, and never confuse bitterness with masculinity. What isn't manhood is weakness disguised as virtue, becoming a weasel in a mob, feeding an agenda for attention and money, and calling cowardice morality. I know what I am. I would rather be hated for standing upright than applauded for crawling with the crowd. I'm proud of the man I became.
