Over 10.40 lakh ASHAs, 10.58 lakh Anganwadi workers strengthening rural institutions
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) More than 10.40 lakh accredited social health activists (ASHAs) and 10.58 lakh trained Anganwadi workers are strengthening community healthcare and early childhood services, enabling convergence and strengthening local institutions, according to a government factsheet on Sunday. A network of trained grassroots workers forms the backbone of decentralised service delivery. These workers support the implementation of government programmes, mobilise communities, and provide timely assistance at the village level. Over 9 lakh Community Resource Persons (CRPs) are active at the grassroots, serving areas such as agriculture, banking and insurance, etc. Of these, nearly 4.08 lakh CRPs work on livelihoods in agriculture and allied activities and rural enterprises, and are variously known as Krishi Sakhis, Pashu Sakhis, Matsya Sakhis, and Van Sakhis. The remaining nearly 5 lakh CRPs work as Bank Sakhis, Business Correspondent Sakhis, Financial Literacy CRPs, Bima Sakhis, and Gender Champions, providing essential support across other specialised areas, like financial inclusion, financial literacy, insurance, gender awareness, and community development. In addition, there are frontline workers like Swachhagrahis, providing sanitation support, said the factsheet. Notably, Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) is central to this approach. It has established one of the countrys largest networks of women-led community institutions, mobilizing more than 10 crore rural households into around 92 lakh Self-Help Groups (SHGs) across the country. With nearly 48,785 Udyog Sakhis supporting non-farm livelihoods and CRP-EPs providing specialized support under the Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP), a strong institutional network has been established to promote rural entrepreneurship. As of June 2026, 4.32 lakh enterprises have been supported under SVEP. Additionally, building on this institutional network, the Government is implementing the National Campaign on Entrepreneurship to train 50,000 CRPs on enterprise promotion and provide enterprise development training to 50 lakh SHG members, said the factsheet. Moreover, Business Correspondent (BC) Sakhis and Bank Sakhis are trained women community cadres promoted under the DAY-NRLM who function as grassroots financial intermediaries. Over 1.48 lakh BC Sakhis provide a range of digital, doorstep financial services in villages, including account opening, deposits, withdrawals, fund transfers, and balance inquiries over 50,548 branch-level Bank Sakhis facilitate credit linkage. Till date, Bank Sakhis have helped SHGs access rs 13.41 lakh crore in bank credit since 2013-14. This ecosystem is further supported by 56,727 Financial Literacy CRPs, who conduct village-level awareness campaigns.
Naila Grrewal on how she deals with social media trolls: Just keep doing your work
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 20 (IANS) Actress Naila Grrewal revealed how she deals with social media trolls and whether she believes in responding to these trolls. Speaking to IANS exclusively, Naila said that online trolls do not affect her, as she believes that it is not good to give so much importance to faceless people hiding behind the screen. She added that one should just focus on their work She was asked, How much do social media trolls affect you? Do you respond to trolls? Naila shared with IANS, It does not affect me that much. I feel giving so much importance to nameless and faceless people is not good for your health. You just keep doing your work and take your work seriously. As I said, these things will keep coming. Today it is Instagram trolls; tomorrow it will be something else. But your work and your focus should not be shaken, she went on to add. The 'Maamla Legal Hai ' actress was further asked, Sometimes actors put in so much effort to establish themselves, while projects are also offered to social media influencers and creators because of their reach. According to you, how frustrating can that be for an actor? Naila said that she feels this is the reality today. However, she added, But serious directors who give the most importance to their scripts will never sign an actor based only on numbers. They will sign someone based on their work and potential. At the end of the day, if you are a strong performer, regardless of whether you are also an influencer or social media star, I feel that is not the main point. Your performance and the work you bring to the table will ultimately get you work. All these things will keep changing. Today it is Instagram; tomorrow it will be something else. But acting is not going anywhere. If your acting foundation is solid, you will definitely get work, she concluded.
Salman Khan apologises for the chest pain prank on 'Bigg Boss 20': It totally beats the purpose
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 20 (IANS) The latest episode of 'Weekend Ka Vaar' was full of drama, with host Salman Khan leaving the contestants and fans extremely worried about his health after he was suddenly seen experiencing chest pain. Salman asked for water and looked breathless in one of the promos of the show. However, later on, the 'Sultan' actor issued a clarification, confirming that he is doing well. In his post, he apologized on behalf of the makers for cutting a misleading promo. Salman's post on his Instagram Story read, Nothing is wrong with my health by the grace of God. The Bigg Boss promo should not have been cut like the way it was cut. (sic) The host called out contestant Qazi Touqeer for pretending to have mental health issues, leaving everyone worried. It totally beats the purpose and looks like I am doing the same thing that Qazi was doing in the house, the pain was only to show Qazi that what he did was wrong because he used his health for entertainment specially when the 15 people in the house were not aware that he was acting and were getting worried for his health. Sorry about the way the promo was cut. Guess it's the format that they use in promoting the shows, I apologise on their behalf, the post further read. It must be noted that Qazi has been pretending to have mental health issues. He would secretly tell the cameras that he was pretending that he was not feeling well. He even called the doctors inside the house once; however, when they came to check on him, he told them that it was all part of his prank. While initially the housemates expressed genuine concern for Qazi, with time, a few of the contestants predicted that Qazi was pretending to be suffering from mental health issues.

Kashmir finds its way into my work almost instinctively.
Yourself and your journey as an illustrator and graphic designer: My name is Ghazal Qadri, and I am a Kashmiri-born illustrator and graphic designer. I grew up in Kashmir and later moved away for high school and higher education. I hold a bachelors degree in Accessory Design from NIFT and an MA in Illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, USA. I currently work as a freelance illustrator and am represented by Sara Crowe Literary. My work is inspired by everyday life, childhood, culture, people-watching and birdwatching. I enjoy creating comics, picture books and designs for social causes. My style is expressive, colourful and character-driven, with a special interest in projects related to children, education and community. Your earliest memories of art, and when did you realise illustration was your calling. Some of my earliest memories of art are of sitting in my room surrounded by things most people would call junk. I would spread out a bedsheet, bring out my collection of paper, glue, driftwood and other little finds, and start making something from them. My father would always wait to see what I had created, and he loved displaying my handmade pieces around the house. Many of them are still there today. My familys encouragement made me want to keep creating. Later, when I moved to a boarding school in Jaipur, I was surrounded by creative people and many new opportunities. My teachers and classmates encouraged me to take part in art competitions and activities. That experience gave me confidence and helped me realise that art and illustration were something I wanted to pursue seriously. My father always encouraged creativity at home, and both my brother and I had the freedom to explore our interests. My brother was also artistic, although he eventually chose a different career path and did very well in it. I decided to continue with art. I loved making things out of discarded materials, and that interest led me to study Accessory Design at NIFT Hyderabad. Later, I joined a design studio where I had the opportunity to work on illustration projects. That experience gave me the confidence to pursue illustration more seriously as a career. Your journey from Kashmir to the United States unfold. My journey began when political unrest in Kashmir disrupted education in 2010. My family decided to send me to a boarding school in Jaipur so that my studies would not suffer. It was difficult to leave home, but the experience introduced me to new creative opportunities. I participated in art competitions, received encouragement from teachers and began to understand that art could become a serious career. I later studied product and lifestyle-accessory design at NIFT Hyderabad and then worked as an illustrator at Lollypop Design Studio in Bangalore. In 2018, I travelled to Buffalo, New York, for an art fellowship connected with Roswell Park. That was one of my earliest professional experiences in the United States and gave me valuable exposure to the international creative community. I subsequently completed my masters degree in Illustration at the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2020. After graduating, I continued working in the United States as a freelance illustrator and visual designer. I have lived in several cities during that journey and am now based in Dallas. How much of Kashmir finds its way into your work, consciously or subconsciously? Kashmir finds its way into my work almost instinctively. Sometimes it appears consciously through the language, humour, clothing, crafts and everyday traditions I illustrate. Projects such as the Kath Baath stickers, for example, grew from my desire to preserve Kashmiri phrases and translate them visually for both Kashmiri and non-Kashmiri audiences. Which artists, writers or illustrators have influenced your style the most? Gemma Correll, Mike Lowery and Huda are some of my favourite artists. Their work is similar to the kind of illustration I enjoy, and they continue to inspire me. My earliest and strongest influence, however, was Alicia Souza. Her work had a very positive impact on the way I observe and illustrate everyday life. I even had a little fan moment when I got the chance to meet her at an event once. Which assignment has been the most meaningful, and why? The most special assignment for me has been Sonth Is Here because it was my debut book as an author-illustrator. My father supported me a lot throughout the process, and the editors and art directors at Pratham Books helped me shape and develop the book. It is still very special to me because it is closely connected to my own feelings, experiences and memories of Kashmir. Books, publications or brands you have illustrated for. I have worked across childrens publishing, comics, editorial illustration, branding and educational communication. I wrote and illustrated Sonth Is Here, published by Pratham Books, which celebrates the arrival of spring in Kashmir. I also illustrated Say Something, Poupeh Babaee!, a middle-grade graphic novel written by Haleh Massey and published by Yellow Jacket. It follows an Iranian girl navigating immigration, family separation, and selective mutism. This was launched this year in January. Another memorable book was Allie and the Albino Squirrel, written by E. K. McCoy and published through Atmosphere Press. For that project, I combined illustrated characters with photographic backgrounds to create a distinctive visual world. I have also worked on projects with UNICEF, Tulika Publishers, SIHA magazine, DreamWorks and Gifts of Love. In the branding space, I have developed packaging, mascots and visual identities for food, education and community-focused organisations. Do you think digital platforms have made it easier for artists from smaller regions to reach international audiences? Absolutely. Digital platforms have significantly reduced geographical limitations. An artist can now share their work from Kashmir and have it seen by publishers, clients, and audiences across the globe. For instance, my Kashmiri illustrations and WhatsApp stickers were initially shared online, reaching Kashmiris living in many different countries. Surprisingly, they also resonated with people who didn't understand the Kashmiri language but still connected with the expressions and humour. At first, my father and I spent hours manually forwarding the stickers one by one to people who sent direct messages on my Instagram, until a friend eventually designed a dedicated app for me. My website and social media platforms have also been instrumental in helping editors, publishers, and collaborators discover my work. However, gaining visibility online is just the beginning; artists still need a distinct voice, a robust portfolio, and consistency to turn that exposure into a sustainable career. Are there any upcoming books, exhibitions or collaborations that you can share with our readers? My middle-grade graphic novel Say Something, Poupeh Babaee! was recently published, and seeing such a large and emotionally layered project finally become a book was very special. I do not have an exhibition announcement at the moment, but I would love to eventually present a body of work centred on Kashmiri memories, humour and everyday culture. You have also made WhatsApp stickers, reflecting Kashmiri emotions, vibe. How did the idea come to you? Are you planning more such stickers? The idea began in the summer of 2018, when I returned home to Kashmir. While attending weddings, going on picnics and visiting villages, I felt deeply nostalgic about our language, humour and everyday expressions. The first illustration in the series came from a personal moment. My mother used the Kashmiri expression Kharizaleeli for me, and I immediately felt inspired to turn it into a character. I posted the illustration on Instagram, and people responded to it with so much excitement and recognition. That reaction encouraged me to create more and the series kept growing. Coincidentally, WhatsApp introduced its sticker feature at the same time, I realised these illustrations could become something people could actually use in their daily conversations. The characters wore pherans and traditional headgear and expressed familiar emotions, phrases and proverbs. My father really helped me share the stickers with his contacts in the beginning, and gradually they reached Kashmiris around the world. Yes! I would love to revisit the series and create a new collection. Kashmiri language and humour continue to evolve, especially among younger generations and the diaspora, so there are many new expressions, emotions and situations that could be explored through stickers.

The producer, who says the story is good, asks for a title that should be ayangaram (fear inducing).

Government wont allow lifetime teacher postings in urban areas: Nasir Aslam
Srinagar, Sep 18: Advisor to Chief Minister Nasir Aslam Wani on Thursday said that rural schools were facing an acute dearth of teachers despite having encouraging enrolment, while the government was focused on strengthening the availability of teaching staff in these educational institutions. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of Green Valley Model United Nations (GVMUN)-2026, Nasir Aslam Wani said the government was looking to strengthen teacher availability, particularly in schools where there was a shortage of teachers. There are very few teachers in the rural schools. We want to increase the strength of teachers so that children can get proper education, he said. He said the government would not allow teachers to remain posted permanently in either urban or rural areas, saying that postings would be made through a rotation system. Everyone will have to go to rural areas and in the city as well. It is not that everyone who is posted in city school will remain posted there for a lifetime and those who are posted in the village schools will continue there permanently. By rotation, they will go to all places, Wani said. About filling vacant positions of teachers in the School Education Department, he said the posts would be filled through Samagra Shiksha and the recruitment process. We are working on it. The posts will be filled, he added. Earlier, in his address as chief guest at GVMUN, Wani talked about the changing relationship between teachers and students and recalled a time when teachers commanded greater authority and respect. He said there was a huge difference between the education system of his time and that of today, when students were more willing to question teachers, parents and others in society. In todays world, there is very little room for questioning. Teachers word was the last word when we were students. But today, students are different. They question everything and everybody, he said. He said educators and society must be prepared to provide answers to their questions. During our times, if teachers would beat us, we would never dare to complain about it at our homes, knowing that our parents would trust our teachers more than us (children). But these days the situation is altogether different, he added. Referring to the confidence displayed by students participating in the GVMUN event, Wani said the present generation had greater exposure and confidence compared to students of his time. He said education should not remain confined to books and academics, stressing the need to provide students opportunities in sports, extracurricular activities and skill development. We should not only educate them, but also make them unemployed. We should have children who are skilled for the job market, so that when they graduate from school, they can easily get employment, he said. Wani called for encouraging students to acquire skills early in their education so that they are equipped for employment after graduation. He also called for greater awareness among students about social challenges, particularly drug abuse, and said children needed to be mentally prepared to deal with the pressures of contemporary life. We should prepare them for the problems of today. We should prepare their minds for the materialistic world we live in, he said. Wani said the government would work towards increasing investment in children and creating more opportunities for them. On concerns raised by the school sector regarding regulations, Wani said steps were Being Taken To Ease The Process Of Doing Business For Schools. School registration would now be valid for five years and several No Objection Certificates would be covered through self-certification, he said.

Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations brought several television celebrities together this year, with Neena Gupta sharing glimpses of the festivities on social media where she reunited with her co-stars from the recently released show Chumbak. Her Netflix co-star Arjun Bijlani played the perfect host as he opened his home to the actors of the show during the Ganpati celebrations held at his residence. Neena Gupta took to Instagram to post photographs from the celebration at Bijlani residence, captioning the post simply, CHUMBAK gang. The pictures also featured her fellow cast members from the upcoming Netflix show Chumbak, namely Delnaaz Irani, Sandeepa Dhar and Helly Shah, who were seen coming together for the festive occasion. The post drew widespread affection from followers, with even streaming platform Netflix joining in to react to the images. Helly Shah, one of the actresses featured in the photographs, plays the role of Twinkle Oberoi (ne Ravjiani) in the show, a school dropout but famous actress married to cardiac surgeon Dr. Mikhael Mickey Oberoi, portrayed by Arjun Bijlani. Meanwhile, Bijlani also shared glimpses of his Ganpati celebrations. The actor, who welcomes Ganpati Bappa to his residence every year alongside his wife Neha Swami, took to his own Instagram profile to post multiple moments from this year's festivities. His home further saw a string of other celebrity visitors seeking the Lord's blessings, including Nia Sharma, Mouni Roy, Ritvik Dhanjiani and Adaa Khan, among others. Sharing the pictures, Arjun wrote, Surrounded by Bappa's blessings, positivity and pure festive vibes. Ganpati Bappa Morya!

Karan Johar to host The Earthshot Prize Awards Night in Mumbai, becomes first Indian to take on role
Karan Johar is set to host The Earthshot Prize Awards Night in Mumbai on November 17, 2026, becoming the first Indian to take on the hosting duties for the annual global ceremony. The announcement comes as The Earthshot Prize prepares to hold its sixth edition in India for the first time. The filmmaker and producer, who has experience across cinema, television and streaming, is known for hosting Koffee with Karan as well as the Indian adaptation of The Traitors. For the Mumbai ceremony, Johar will host an evening that will recognise 15 finalists working on solutions addressing environmental challenges. Reacting to the announcement, Karan Johar shared, To be the first Indian to host The Earthshot Prize Awards Night is a moment of immense pride for me, and to do so in Mumbai makes it all the more meaningful. In cinema, we imagine new worlds. The innovators celebrated by Earthshot are showing us how to build a better one. That is what makes HRH Prince William's vision so compelling: it gives us not just reasons to hope, but ideas we can act on. India has the creativity and ambition to be an important part of that future. I'm honoured to welcome the world to Mumbai and help give these remarkable people the recognition they deserve. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Earthshot Prize (@earthshotprize) Founded by HRH Prince William, The Earthshot Prize was launched to identify, celebrate and support solutions aimed at protecting and restoring the planet. Mumbai was announced as the host city for the 2026 edition earlier this year, with the city joining previous host locations including London, Boston, Singapore, Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro. Prince William, Founder and President of The Earthshot Prize, said, Every year, our Finalists give me renewed optimism. They show us that, even as the environmental challenges remain urgent, extraordinary people around the world are already proving that progress is possible. Seeing solutions work gives us all confidence to act. When they succeed, they inspire others and accelerate change. I'm proud to welcome these 15 Finalists to the Earthshot Prize community and look forward to celebrating their stories in Mumbai this November. The two-day Earthshot Prize Summit will bring together global leaders, innovators, funders, businesses and communities to build connections around environmental solutions. The programme will culminate in the Awards Night on November 17. At the ceremony, 15 finalists will be celebrated, with five ultimately named as the 2026 winners. Each winner will receive 1 million to help scale their respective solution and expand its impact. This version keeps the celebrity-news angle centred on Karan Johar while giving enough context about The Earthshot Prize and the Mumbai ceremony without turning the story into promotional copy.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Friday said that it has initiated three separate adjudication cases against Nestl India over alleged regulatory non-compliance involving its infant nutrition products, including NAN Excella Pro Stage 1 and Lactogen Pro 1. According to a notice shared by the food regulator on Instagram, FSSAI examined the products and promotional material listed on e-commerce platforms and flagged certain claims associated with the infant nutrition products. In the case of NAN Excella Pro Stage 1, the regulator raised concerns over claims related to 5 HMOS and Whey Protein. For Lactogen Pro 1, FSSAI flagged a claim describing whey protein as being easy to digest. The food regulator said it had sought clarifications from Nestl India regarding the claims. Following its examination, FSSAI said the products were found to be in contravention of Regulation 4(2) of the Food Safety and Standards (Foods for Infant Nutrition) Regulations, 2020. The regulation places restrictions on promotional claims and material intended to increase the saleability of infant foods. FSSAI also referred to Section 3 of the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992, which prohibits the advertisement and promotion of such products. Separately, FSSAI said a sample of a Follow-up Formula manufactured by Nestl India was found to be sub-standard for its biotin content during laboratory analysis. The sample was subsequently sent to a Referral Laboratory for re-analysis. The second analysis also found the product to be non-conforming with the prescribed biotin requirement under the Foods for Infant Nutrition Regulations, 2020. FSSAI said three separate adjudication cases have been filed against Nestl India in connection with the regulatory issues involving the products. The regulator's notice does not indicate that any final penalty has been imposed on Nestl India. The cases concern the alleged promotional violations and the laboratory finding related to the biotin content. Responding to the development, Nestle India spokesperson said that the company products are fully compliant with all the applicable regulations. The said products (i.e., NAN EXCELLA PRO & LACTOGEN PRO) and their labels were approved by the expert committee of FSSAI. In response to the notice, we have again submitted our detailed response to the authorities regarding statements appearing on the label, which are factual in nature, and supported by scientific literature, it added. We confirm to adherence of all regulations including all norms and label declarations as per applicable laws. We will continue to work closely and support FSSAI in its efforts towards consumer awareness, the spokesperson stated.
Maha govt will stand with farmers in drought-hit areas: Dy CM Shinde
Digital Desk | Satara, Sep 18 (IANS) Visiting his native village Dare in Satara district for the Ganeshotsav festival, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday reviewed Maharashtras rainfall situation and reassured farmers facing severe crop damage due to dry spells. He said the government will not abandon the farming community and will provide full support in drought-like regions. His response follows senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawars demand that the state government declare a drought and distribute immediate relief aid. DCM Shinde acknowledged that dry spells have scorched standing crops in parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada. Crop loss assessments (panchnamas) are currently underway to distribute aid based on actual losses. He held a video conference with Osmanabad (Dharashiv) Guardian Minister Pratap Sarnaik, MP Omraje Nimbalkar, and the District Collector to review the crisis. District guardian ministers are actively touring affected areas, and he confirmed he will personally inspect drought-hit zones shortly to engage directly with farmers. Dismissing opposition criticism, DCM Shinde stated the Mahayuti government prefers letting its work speak rather than engaging in political verbal duels. Marking World Bamboo Day at his farm in Dare, where he has successfully experimented with cultivating imported crops like blueberries, along with camphor and asafoetida (hing), Shinde highlighted bamboo's versatile uses in producing ethanol, modern infrastructure, and everyday commercial goods. He urged large-scale bamboo cultivation alongside environmental conservation efforts during the festive season. DCM Shinde also took a sharp jab at his political rivals over their constant criticism of his visits to his hometown, Delhi, or London. Whenever I visit my home village, political rivals suffer from stomach aches. I will now have to look for a medicinal plant or prescribe Jamalgota (a traditional laxative) to cure their indigestion. I am a man of action and will answer criticism through my work, not words, he quipped. Earlier, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, in a detailed letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, highlighted the state's severe agrarian crisis due to erratic monsoon rains and demanded immediate intervention across nine key points. Pawars letter comes shortly after the Chief Minister expressed his resolve to make Marathwada drought-free on the occasion of Marathwada Liberation Day. Pointing out the stark ground reality, Pawar, who uploaded the letter on Friday on X, emphasised that deficient rainfall has severely impacted crops across Marathwada and other parts of the state, leaving farmers in deep distress. In his letter, Pawar raised urgent concerns regarding standing crops, drinking water shortages, and fodder scarcity for livestock. Due to the failure of rains across most parts of the state this year, the farming community is facing a massive crisis. Standing crops such as soybean, cotton, pearl millet (bajra), maize, pigeon pea (tur), green gram (moong), and black gram (udid) have withered, compounded by increased pest infestations. Consequently, the situation regarding agriculture, drinking water, and fodder supply is set to worsen, Pawar noted.
Bhumi Pednekar turns showstopper for Nazranaa at New York Fashion Week in red lehenga
Bhumi Pednekar has made her international runway debut at New York Fashion Week, taking the Indian fashion aesthetic to the global stage. The actress closed Nazranaas SS27 show, Samskriti 2.0, in New York, where she walked as the showstopper in a red velvet lehenga inspired by the Shri Ramakrishna Temple at Belur Math. Bhumi has previously walked several Indian fashion runways, and her appearance at New York Fashion Week marked a new addition to her fashion journey. For Nazranaas latest collection, she wore the Belur Math Lehenga, a design that draws inspiration from the architecture and philosophy of the Shri Ramakrishna Temple. According to the designer, the temple reflects the idea of universal faith by bringing together architectural influences associated with Hindu temples, mosques and churches. The same concept has been incorporated into the lehenga, which combines traditional Indian detailing with a contemporary runway presentation. The flared red velvet skirt featured intricate silver embroidery, shimmering embellishments and floral and traditional motifs across the silhouette. At the centre of the skirt was a swan motif, which holds particular significance in the design. According to the designer, the swan represents the Paramatman, or Supreme Self, and is featured at the heart of the emblem designed by Swami Vivekananda. Bhumi paired the skirt with a matching fitted blouse featuring a sweetheart neckline and delicate straps.

Bigg Boss 20 has begun, but the drama inside the house is already picking up pace. With groups taking shape and rivalries emerging among the contestants, Mahhi Vij and MC Mary Kom have now found themselves at the centre of an increasingly heated equation. A recently released promo hints at another confrontation between the two, this time over a task involving the house ration. The tension between Mahhi and Mary Kom began amid Mahhi's ongoing feud with Yung DSA. During the captaincy task, Mahhi chose not to support Yung despite their previously cordial equation. She explained her decision by pointing out that Yung had already served as the house captain and that other contestants should also get a fair opportunity to compete for the position. While Yung was disappointed by Mahhi's decision, the situation escalated after Mary Kom allegedly presented a different version of Mahhi's conversation to the other housemates. Mary also claimed that Mahhi had abused Yung, which further added to the tension between the contestants. Mahhi Vij struggles to name Mary Kom in ration task The latest promo takes the rivalry a step further. In the upcoming episode, Bigg Boss calls Mahhi Vij, Uditi Singh and Aashif Khan into the 2X room and gives them an opportunity to win 75 per cent of the house ration. However, the contestants are given a condition. To secure the ration, they must reduce or remove the 'Jeevandan' lifeline of one contestant. As the trio discusses the decision, Mahhi appears to struggle while taking Mary Kom's name. She is seen asking Uditi for the boxer's name while deciding whose lifeline should be affected. The moment appears to set the stage for another confrontation. Later in the promo, Love Gill is seen approaching Mary Kom and talking to her about the decision made during the task. His conversation with Mary seemingly provokes her, eventually leading to a verbal altercation between Mary and Mahhi. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) The exchange adds another layer to the growing rivalry between the two contestants, who have already found themselves on opposite sides of multiple disagreements inside the house. Viewers take sides in Mahhi-Mary Kom clash Since the beginning of Bigg Boss 20, some viewers have also discussed Mary Kom's personality and her comments inside the house. In an earlier episode, while speaking to fellow contestants, Mary referred to herself as a legend and suggested that nobody could be better than her. The latest promo has once again triggered a discussion around her attitude among viewers. Several users in the comments section appeared to support Mahhi and praised her for standing up for herself during the confrontation. At the same time, some viewers criticised Mary Kom over what they perceived as an overly assertive attitude and a tendency to look down on other contestants. The reactions remain divided, but the promo suggests that the Mahhi Vij and Mary Kom rivalry is far from over. With the house dynamics changing rapidly, their equation could become one of the talking points of the ongoing season.

Operation Toofan enters second phase, takes fight to grassroots: Chennithala
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 18 (IANS) The Kerala government is taking its anti-drug campaign Operation Toofan to the ward level, while setting up a specialised investigation team to go after high-value narcotics networks with inter-state and international links, Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala announced on Friday. Home Minister Chennithala said an Anti-Narcotics Investigation Team has begun functioning. The team, headed by Toofan nodal officer and North IG Putt Vimaladitya, will have three units based in Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, and Kozhikode. Each unit will comprise 10 police personnel, including a DySP, two Circle Inspectors, two Sub-Inspectors, and other officers. The specialised teams will focus on high-value drug trafficking cases and networks with links outside Kerala and abroad. The government said the move was aimed at making investigations more scientific, focused and coordinated, particularly in cases involving major suppliers and sources. At the other end of the campaign, the government will establish Toofan Jana Jagratha Samitis at ward level in association with the Local Self-Government Department. The committees will involve elected representatives, Kudumbashree members, ASHA workers, Haritha Karma Sena, youth organisations and other community groups. Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan will inaugurate the state-level launch of the ward-level initiative at Vengara in Malappuram on September 28. Industries Minister P.K. Kunhalikutty will preside. The second phase will also shift greater emphasis towards reducing demand and rehabilitation, besides continuing the crackdown on supply. Under Toofan Care, around 35 major hospitals have expressed willingness to join the programme, while a rehabilitation protocol will be implemented with the Indian Medical Association. A Toofan app is also being developed to enable people caught in drug abuse to seek help and speak openly about their problems. Amrita University's IT division is providing technical support. Chennithala said Operation Toofan had brought down drug supplies to Kerala by 20 to 30 per cent, according to the government's assessment. The operation, he said, had now moved beyond distributors and was reaching the sources of supply. Those who provided financial assistance to the accused for purchasing drugs will also face action, Chennithala said, indicating that the investigation would extend beyond the immediate drug suppliers to the financial network supporting the trade.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 18 (IANS) Actress Soni Razdan recently shared a candid and amusing video featuring her daughter Alia Bhatt, in which the actress opened up about a quirky habit of her father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. Sharing the video on Instagram, the veteran actress wrote, When my daughter (@aliaabhatt) gets real about her dad, you listen because when it comes to dads, we all have a familiar story to tell. BYOB Bring Your Own Baap!. In the video, Alia was asked about one quirk about her father that annoyed her. She humorously revealed that having a smooth and free-flowing conversation with him could sometimes be difficult because he often forgot whom he was talking to. The Highway actress said, Its very difficult to have a smooth, easy, free-flowing conversation when he forgets who he's talking to and then calls me Shaheen and then sometimes Soni and then some other people that I've never heard of and then does the same thing with everyone else. However, Alia revealed that the habit she once found irritating had gradually rubbed off on her as well. She added, But lo and behold, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, and now I do the exact same thing. So what's annoying is I've picked up on this quirk, and I've become this quirk. Further, when Alia was asked when she had last told her father that she loved him, she decided not to rely on her memory and instead called him right away. As it happened, Mahesh Bhatt was at the same premises, inside a preview theatre. Alia reached out to him on the spot and said, I love you daddy. That was the last time.

FSSAI initiates three adjudication cases against Nestle India over infant nutrition products
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Friday said that it has initiated three separate adjudication cases against Nestl India over alleged regulatory non-compliance involving its infant nutrition products, including NAN Excella Pro Stage 1 and Lactogen Pro 1. According to a notice shared by the food regulator on Instagram, FSSAI examined the products and promotional material listed on e-commerce platforms and flagged certain claims associated with the infant nutrition products. In the case of NAN Excella Pro Stage 1, the regulator raised concerns over claims related to 5 HMOS and Whey Protein. For Lactogen Pro 1, FSSAI flagged a claim describing whey protein as being easy to digest. The food regulator said it had sought clarifications from Nestl India regarding the claims. Following its examination, FSSAI said the products were found to be in contravention of Regulation 4(2) of the Food Safety and Standards (Foods for Infant Nutrition) Regulations, 2020. The regulation places restrictions on promotional claims and material intended to increase the saleability of infant foods. FSSAI also referred to Section 3 of the Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992, which prohibits the advertisement and promotion of such products. Separately, FSSAI said a sample of a Follow-up Formula manufactured by Nestl India was found to be sub-standard for its biotin content during laboratory analysis. The sample was subsequently sent to a Referral Laboratory for re-analysis. The second analysis also found the product to be non-conforming with the prescribed biotin requirement under the Foods for Infant Nutrition Regulations, 2020. FSSAI said three separate adjudication cases have been filed against Nestl India in connection with the regulatory issues involving the products. The regulator's notice does not indicate that any final penalty has been imposed on Nestl India. The cases concern the alleged promotional violations and the laboratory finding related to the biotin content. Nestle India had not issued a response to the exchanges regarding the notice at the time of publication.

Alia Bhatt reveals one Mahesh Bhatt quirk that annoys her: Now I do the exact same thing
Soni Razdan is currently promoting her recently released film Om Ka Hari, but a recent social media post gave fans a glimpse into her family dynamic with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and daughter Alia Bhatt. On September 17, Soni shared a video of Alia, seemingly recorded after a screening of the film, where the actor was asked about one quirk of her father that annoys her. Alia pointed out that having a conversation with her father can sometimes become confusing because he has a habit of mixing up the names of people around him. Its very difficult to have a smooth, easy, free-flowing conversation when he forgets who he's talking to and then calls me Shaheen and then sometimes Soni and then some other people that I've never heard of and then does the same thing with everyone else, Alia said. However, Alia admitted that what once annoyed her has now become a habit she has picked up herself. She added, But lo and behold, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, and now I do the exact same thing. So what's annoying is I've picked up on this quirk, and I've become this quirk. The conversation took another affectionate turn when Alia was asked when she had last told her father that she loved him. Instead of answering from memory, she decided to call him. Mahesh Bhatt happened to be at the same premises, at a preview theatre, and Alia called him on the spot. She then told him, I love you daddy. That was the last time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Soni Razdan (@sonirazdan) Alia Bhatt on Mahesh Bhatts theatrical side Alia has previously spoken about her fathers distinctive personality and the memories she associates with growing up around him. In an earlier anecdote, she recalled how Mahesh Bhatt would use dramatic gestures to make ordinary moments memorable. My father is very theatrical and that sometimes makes for great memories. For example, when I was in 1st standard, I had a spelling test and I was worried I was, for some reason, going to forget the spelling of the. My father made it a point to build into my memory, so he did some overbearing gesture to teach me the spelling so I dont forget it. But I remember him being this, like, grizzly bear, highly theatrical and highly entertaining, she had said. Soni Razdan is part of Om Ka Hari, which releases theatrically on September 18. Directed by Harish Vyas and backed by First Ray Films, the film stars Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav in the titular roles of Om and Hari.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 18 (IANS) Actress and host Tara Sharma opened up about her experience of being a new Mum again as she continues to adjust to life with her three-month-old black Labrador puppy, Tio, who has been part of her family for nearly a month. Taking to Instagram, the Masti actress shared a series of videos and pictures capturing her familys moments with their newest member.

Tara revealed that Tio had been with the family for nearly a month and had already managed to win everyone over. She also shared glimpses of the puppy playing football with her son Kai, enjoying bath time and learning to use his pee mat. Sharing videos, she wrote, Like having another baby! Haaha Yep our Tio at almost 1 month with us and 3 months old has us wrapped around his finger rather paw!! I had forgotten how hectic puppy time is. Adorable but chaotic too. As #thetarasharmashow began over 16 years ago as my diary as a new Mum, sort of feel it apt to caption this post as part of that haaha! I am a new Mum again, this time to a little pup!. Our beloved Tia came to us a bit older so I dont remember as much teething or up at night moments with her and or as with kids each dog is similar and different and unique so while we hope Tio is calm, gentle and loving like his big sis, we also know as a male pup he maybe more hectic if thats the right word haaha! Tara added, Here a few vids as like many new Mums, apologies I am being a bit doting and dont mean to be gloating! Also to perhaps help anyone getting a pup. Our kids are thrilled but our kids while they adore him and do play and help, eventually the actual potty training, waking at night, disciplining etc does fall on me. @roopaksaluja , our help and my Mum, Gaaga to our kids, him included, help too, but you know what I mean. Mammas are the ones who get the brunt of any tough ish stuff! So yes teething is causing him to nibble at our feet a lot, taken tips from our super vet and other doggie parents and we are slowly combating that, clinging to the its a phase they will grow out of narrative. The post further read, 1 My Dad #partapsharma trained our dogs amazingly especially Dog Detective Ranjha, who he wrote books about so I am trying to train Tio a bit myself and if needed will seek professional help, as I aint no expert! Good job yest T, he is learning fast. 2 just 3 famjam 4 football with Kai Tio shares a birthday with @leomessi so understandably is also footy obsessed 5 woke me at 3am phew to poop so I excused him as we stepped out to the pee mat where he did it.
