Centres fund delay hits Samagra Shiksha uniform scheme: V Sivankutty

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The free uniform scheme for government school students covering boys from Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe (SC/ST) and Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, and all girls from Classes 1 to 8 has been disrupted due to the non-disbursal of Central funds under the Samagra Shiksha scheme since the 202324 financial year, the state government has said. General Education Minister V Sivankutty said that the state is actively working to resolve the issue. Under the Samagra Shiksha project, funds for two sets of uniforms per student are released to schools through the Block Resource Centres. However, the Union government has not released any funds to the Kerala unit of Samagra Shiksha since 202324, said the minister. Meanwhile, uniform schemes funded entirely by the state government, for students not covered under Samagra Shiksha are being implemented without disruption. These include the supply of two sets of khadi uniform material to 10 lakh students in standalone Lower Primary (LP) and Upper Primary (UP) government schools and to Classes 14 students in all aided schools. Additionally, the state provides uniforms for boys from Above Poverty Line (APL) families in government schools and for all students in aided schools from Classes 1 to 8, Sivankutty said. He added that all state-funded uniform schemes have received full financial allocation. However, the Centre still owes Kerala around `1,500 crore under various components of the Samagra Shiksha scheme since 202324, Sivankutty said.

Congress attacks Modi Govt for abstaining on Gaza ceasefire resolution in UN

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday attacked the Centre for abstaining from voting during the UNGA resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza and alleged that India's foreign policy is in shambles. The opposition party also demanded answers from the government on whether India has abandoned its principled stand against war, against genocide, and for justice. It is now increasingly evident that our Foreign Policy is in shambles. Perhaps, PM Modi must now take a call on his EAM's repeated blunders and set some accountability, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said. In a post on X, he said that 149 countries voted for a UNGA resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza while India was only one of the 19 countries that abstained. We virtually stand isolated by this step, he added. Kharge further stated that the Congress had condemned the attacks by Hamas on the people of Israel on October 8 2023. We have consistently condemned the indiscriminate actions that included a siege of the Gaza Strip and bombings in it. 60,000 people have died and there is a widespread and horrific humanitarian crisis. Have we abandoned India's consistent stand advocating for a ceasefire, peace, and dialogue in the Middle East and West Asia? he asked. Kharge affirmed that this position is deeply rooted in India's long-standing tradition of non-alignment and moral diplomacy, through which the nation has always promoted justice and peace in global conflicts. Noting that on October 19 2023, the Congress called for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, he said, India cannot stand by silently or passively while the region faces horrific violence, humanitarian catastrophe, and increasing instability. Echoing similar sentiments, AICC general secretary, organisation, KC Venugopal said India always stood for peace, justice, and human dignity. But today, India stands alone as the only country in South Asia, BRICS, and SCO to abstain on a UNGA resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. 60,000 killed. Most of them women and children. Thousands starving. International aid blocked. A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding, he said in a post on X, questioning if India has abandoned its principled stand against war and genocide. Venugopal called on the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to explain what had changed in the last six months that led India from supporting a ceasefire to abstaining from the vote. Training guns on the Narendra Modi-led government, he accused the Centre of having little regard for Jawaharlal Nehru's legacy and questioned why it had abandoned Atal Bihari Vajpayee's principled stance on Palestine. Emphasising that India has long been a principled voice for ceasefire, peace, and dialogue in the Middle East, Venugopal reiterated that India has historically championed the cause of justice and humanitarian values in global conflicts. At a time when the region is witnessing unspeakable violence, humanitarian collapse, and growing instability, India cannot afford to remain silent or passive, the Congress leader noted. Similarly, Congress MP from Wayanad, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also expressed her disappointment at India's stance at the UN. This is a tragic reversal of our anti-colonial legacy. In fact, not only are we standing silent as Mr Netanyahu annihilates an entire nation, we are cheering on as his government attacks Iran and assassinates its leadership in flagrant violation of its sovereignty and complete contravention of all international norms, she said in a post on X. How can we, as a nation, just abandon the principles of our constitution, and the values of our freedom struggle that led the way for an international arena based on peace and humanity? she asked. Noting that there is no justification for this, she added that true global leadership demands the courage to defend justice, and India has shown this courage unfailingly in the past. In a world that is increasingly divisive, we must reclaim our voice for humanity and stand fearlessly for truth and non-violence, Vadra asserted. AICC media department head Pawan Khera also said that India's UN abstention on the Gaza ceasefire comes as an act of staggering moral cowardice - a shameful betrayal of our anti-colonial legacy and the values of our own freedom struggle. He recalled how India once stood tall for Palestine and became the first non-Arab state to recognise the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1974, inviting Yasser Arafat to attend the 7th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit held in New Delhi in 1983 and formally recognised Palestinian statehood in 1988. We stood for justice not as strategy, but as principle. But today, that proud legacy lies in ruins, he said. The abstention is also a craven U-turn from India's December 2024 vote in the favour of a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, proving that the Modi government remembers nothing, stands for nothing, and chases only photo-ops even if they involve blood-soaked handshakes, Khera added. As Israel sets West Asia ablaze - bombing Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and now Iran - Modi's complicity has abandoned India's conscience. The world does not listen to the nation that speaks loudest, it listens to a nation that speaks with clarity, courage and conscience. And India must never surrender that voice, his post on X read. The 193-member UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to adopt the resolution introduced by Spain that demanded an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire. India was among the 19 nations that abstained, while 12 countries voted against the resolution, which got 149 votes in favour. India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said that the resolution comes against the backdrop of the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Niva Bupa Health Insurance Celebrates Fathers Day with #WorldsMostResponsibleDad Campaign

Business Wire India Partners with Blinkit to distribute specially designed greeting cards across Delhi, Gurgaon, and Mumbai to select buyers. Ropes in renowned author and influencer Durjoy Dutta to reach out to young fathers. Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Limited has launched a campaign - #WorldsMostResponsibleDad on the occasion of upcoming Fathers Day to celebrate the unwavering commitment and responsibility of fathers to secure their familys health and future. Fathers are usually the fulcrum around which the entire family revolves. They are natural providers who often go out of the way to keep their family happy and safe. However, as per a consumer immersion conducted by Niva Bupa, only about 20% of fathers currently hold a health insurance policy. This data is a stark reminder that while fathers are doing everything for the wellbeing of their family, they are not taking charge of their own health which is so crucial in ensuring that their familys future is secure. #WorldsMostResponsibleDad campaign is rooted in a powerful consumer insight: New fathers often feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility. They often tend to priorities their loved ones needs over their own. From juggling meetings to make time to spend with their newborn, to changing baby diapers and packing lunchboxes, fathers go the extra mile to keep their family happy. As young fathers navigate their schedules while performing their father duties, it can lead to stress that can impact their health. What fathers dont realize that if their health suffers, it can affect not just them but the whole family they work so hard to protect. The campaign acknowledges that while fathers may make small everyday mistakes, what truly matters is getting the big things right, like securing their own health with health insurance and thus ensuring that family's future is protected. Taking this responsible step ensures peace of mind and financial security, safeguarding the entire family against unexpected health challenges. Fathers embracing health insurance set a strong example of care and preparedness, reinforcing their role as protectors and providers in the family. As part of this campaign, Niva Bupa has partnered with Blinkit to distribute specially designed greeting cards across Delhi, Gurgaon, and Mumbai to buyers of diapers, baby food and other kids related items on Fathers Day weekend (June 14 th & 15 th ). The greeting card has heartwarming message along with playful checklist to help dads reflect if they qualify as the #WorldsMostResponsibleDad. For this campaign, Niva Bupa is also collaborating with renowned author and influencer Durjoy Dutta to amplify the message to new fathers and families on Instagram and other digital platforms. This collaboration will ensure that the campaign reaches young fathers who are stepping into the journey of responsibility and are keen to secure their familys health and future. Speaking about the initiative, Nimish Agrawal, Director Digital Business Unit & Chief Marketing Officer at Niva Bupa Health Insurance , said, At Niva Bupa, we understand that a fathers true responsibility goes beyond the daily hustleits about ensuring the long-term health and well-being of the family. This campaign is our way of nudging fathers to prioritize their own health for the sake of their familys future. Health insurance is a fundamental step towards safeguarding the future and ensuring peace of mind for the entire family. The campaign underscores the importance of health insurance in a fathers toolkit of responsibility. By securing health insurance, fathers not only protect themselves and their loved ones but also provide a shield for their familys future.

Mango price: CM Siddaramaiah wants Union Minister Shivrajs intervention

BENGALURU: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has written a letter to Union Minister for Agriculture Shivraj Singh Chouhan for price deficiency payment and market intervention scheme for mango farmers in Karnataka. In his letter, Siddaramaiah has said that this year price of mangoes has come down from Rs 12,000 to Rs 3,000 per quintal. The Karnataka State Agriculture Price Commission has recommended Rs 5,466 per quintal. He demanded the central government to intervene and implement Price Deficiency Payment scheme (Its a direct payment to farmers for the price difference between MSP and market price). He said this sharp mismatch between production costs and market realisations has placed the farming communities under acute financial stress. The CM said mango is one of Karnatakas major horticultural crops, cultivated over 1.38 lakh hectares with production of 8-10 lakh tones grown in Bengaluru rural, Bengaluru urban, Chikkaballapura, Kolar and other parts of the state. I am writing to draw your immediate and personal attention to the severe distress being faced by mango farmers across Karnataka to a sharp and unsustainable decline in market prices during the current harvest season, he said. The CM said that thousands of small and marginal mango growers are unable to recover even their basic input costs, leading to widespread protests and growing agrarian anxiety. Unless prompt and effective intervention is undertaken, this crisis may lead to serious socio-economic consequences in the region, he said. The CM also urged Chouhan to issue necessary directions to designated central procurement agencies to initiate procurement operations at an appropriate intervention price, ensuring that farmers receive at least the minimum cost of cultivation as a safety net.

INTERVIEW | A New Odisha is taking shape: Mohan Charan Majhi

As the BJP govt completes one year in office, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi talks about his accomplishments and challenges along with the roadmap for Odishas growth and development in the coming years, in an interview with Siba Mohanty & SN Agragami . Your government has completed one year in office with a slogan, Barsa Ek, Uplapdhi Anek. What is the biggest upalabdhi (achievement) of your government in the last 12 months ? June 12 was a historic day in the political history of Odisha. People changed the government of 24 years and gave us a mandate to take Odisha in the path of development in all fields. Out of the 21 promises made by us, our government has fulfilled 11 promises, which is more than half. The results are for all to see. Let me give you one example. In Subhadra Yojana, we had promised to give a voucher of Rs 50,000 to women and have already provided Rs 10,000 to nearly 1 crore women in two half-yearly installments. This is not a cash dole to create vote-bank. Our aim is women empowerment. We have got ground reports, and you will be pleasantly surprised that 90 per cent of beneficiaries have utilised the money in a gainful manner. On the path of fulfilling the dream of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we have increased the number of Lakhpati Didis from just three lakh to 16.6 lakh in one year and achieved the first position in the country. The prime minister himself has praised the achievement of Odisha in the NITI Aayog meeting. Our second priority was the farmer. Within one hour of taking oath, in the first cabinet meeting we approved input assistance of Rs 800 per quintal over and above the MSP, which has already reached 17 lakh farmers. For the youth, we have provided 28,000 jobs. Nearly 30,000 youths have also got jobs in private sector. The previous government had organised three Make-in-Odisha conclaves. But in only one Utkarsh Odisha conclave organised by our government on January 28 and 29, we generated more proposals and signed more MoUs than all the previous three combined. We received proposals of Rs 17 lakh crore, signed MoUs of Rs 13 lakh crore with employment opportunities for 13 lakh youths of the state. The government has gained the confidence of people by doing all this work. We are committed to take Odisha to greater heights economically, socially and politically. We have fulfilled many promises during the year, which is why the slogan Barsha Ek, Upalabdhi Anek. A New Odisha is taking shape. You claim proposals worth Rs 17 lakh crore and MoUs worth Rs 13 lakh crore were signed at Utkarsh Odisha. Many MoUs were signed earlier too, but few materialised. How is your government ensuring actual project grounding, not just MoU signing? You can yourself see the difference. In just four months, we have already conducted groundbreaking of projects worth Rs 1,78,000 crore, opening possibilities of giving jobs to 1.1 lakh youths. We ensured establishment of a Rs 2,700 crore technical ammonium nitrate (TAN) plant at Gopalpur in just 10 months. This is the largest and first-of-its-kind project in India where all machinery were brought from Singapore. Besides, all big companies like Tata, JSW, JSPL and IOCL are either expanding or bringing new investment to Odisha. The downstream sector is also coming up in a big way. Each and every district is being covered. Many felt your lack of experience in administration would be a hurdle. Besides, your cabinet is mostly made up of first-time ministers. How challenging has it been to function as chief minister and lead the government? I was never an outsider. I was deputy chief whip when there was alliance government in the state. At times, I had to face the ire of the government specially when asking questions about mining areas of Keonjhar which is my home district. Then Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had once called and pulled me up for raising such questions. But I had not stopped as I was in search of truth. I have been three-time MLA, Opposition chief whip and chairman of many committees. The success of the government in one year under my chief ministership has proved my capability. It is correct that many first-time MLAs became ministers. Further, as the entire administration had worked under another government for 24 years, to make it attuned to the new dispensation was very challenging. I had to hold many meetings with the ministers. They were given responsibilities as prabharis of districts and associated with different problems. By doing this, they gained experience and at the end of one year became capable of running their ministries. We have succeeded in a collective manner. With BJP coming to power, there were expectations that it will demolish the bureaucratic control. One year on, the general perception is, nothing has changed. Absolutely not. My cabinet doesnt sign pre-decided proposals. It doesnt end in minutes. We make extensive discussions on proposals, then take a decision. The bureaucrats were running the government earlier. To bring them out of that mindset, a shake-up was necessitated. Many left on central deputation. Bureaucrats who were ignored and sidelined in the previous dispensation and wanted to work were given responsibilities. We interacted with officers who were good performers but were loyal to previous government. Gradually, they also changed and realised that a bureaucrat has to work under any government. Besides, this was linked to their CCRs. They are now performing well and have a big role in achieving our target of giving good governance. Implementation of Subhadra scheme was not an easy job. We could do so because of cooperation from the officers. After becoming the chief minister, you seem to have made it a priority to keep close contact with the people. You have revived the CMs public grievance cell, are visiting districts almost every other day. Is it a brand building exercise? The big objective was to completely eradicate the distance between the Third Floor (CMO) and people. Under the previous government, the Third Floor was turned into a fortress with no one having access, forget the common man. Nobody could enter it. No minister, MP or MLA could meet the chief minister. I have become chief minister from the grassroots. I decided to eradicate this distance and meet common people. Let me tell you one experience. One day a beggar came with an application. Security people did not allow him inside. But he persisted. At last, he sat under a tree and did not leave. I received the information and immediately met him. I came to know that he is from Puri and has become a beggar because of some problems. He gave me his application. I talked to collector Puri about his problems which are now being resolved. These things increase peoples confidence on the administration/government. In this way, ordinary people have come to believe that it is a peoples government headed by a peoples chief minister. This is very important in a democracy. If I dont meet people, I will never want to solve their problems. The previous government focused on a surplus budget and strict FRBM compliance. Youre shifting towards higher spending for schemes like Subhadra. How will you manage this? FRBM Act is for every state and even the Centre. There is a system governed by the RBI and NITI Aayog. If we do not follow that system and incur more loans, the state will become bankrupt. These are alerts. Odisha has been a budget surplus state. To continue this will definitely be a challenge going forward. We want to focus on robust infrastructure. Odishas capital expenditure is 6.2 percent of the GSDP which is highest in the country. This is possible in Odisha only. Despite playing a key role in ensuring BJP government and PM Modis third term at the Centre, Odisha seems to have been neglected in the Union Budget while states like Bihar and Andhra Pradesh took the cake. Not true. Odisha has been given priority in the Budget. There is a very good coordination between Centre and the state government, else the prime minister would not have visited Odisha seven times in the past year. Odishas rail and road sectors have received Rs 1 lakh crore from the Centre. We are constantly in touch with the Centre for projects and funds are not a constraint. Our proposal to set up a branch of the National Forensic Science University in Odisha was approved within 15 days. This is a Rs 300 crore project. Similarly, many projects have been approved for Odisha basing on my letters. This cannot happen if Centre is ignoring Odisha. All the central ministers are giving focus to the state. Our government is taking up a massive initiative of reviving sugar industry in the state. We discussed this with the Union Home and Cooperation minister Amit Shah today and there are now proposals to reopen sugar mills in Badamba, Bolangir and other places. You talk of Viksit Odisha by 2036 to propel Vikist Bharat by 2047 under a double-engine government. The neighbouring states like Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh also have double-engine governments. But major disputes like Mahanadi river water, Polavaram project and Kotia border dispute remain unresolved. We are proceeding on various fronts to resolve the issues. The Mahanadi river water dispute with Chhattisgarh will be resolved through talks. We are going to formally begin talks with the Chhattisgarh chief minister in this regard. I am confident on this issue. Polavaram, though, is sub-judice. We are firmly putting forth our stance in the court. Not only Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Telangana are involved in this. This is a case of four states. But we are sticking to our stand. One year has been completed. There are many vacancies in your cabinet. Is an expansion or reshuffle on the cards? BJP is a national party and the biggest political party in the country. This will be done after discussion with our top leadership. This will be done at the right time. What are your biggest priorities for the next year? Is the government planning new initiatives and bold reforms? Priorities have been decided early.

More children falling prey to online sexual abuse in Karnataka

BENGALURU: A growing number of children in Karnataka are falling prey to online sexual exploitation and abuse, but most parents, teachers, and even government officials remain unequipped to handle or prevent such threats, a state-level study has found. Released by the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KSCPCR) in partnership with ChildFund India, the study, focused on online sexual exploitation and abuse of children, raises red flags about childrens online safety, especially following the Covid pandemic, which, as per the findings, saw increased screen time and unsupervised internet use among children. The report was released on Friday by Basavaraj Horatti, Chairman of the Karnataka Legislative Council. The study covered 903 school-going children aged 818 years across five Karnataka districts Bengaluru, Chamarajanagar, Raichur, Chikkamagaluru and Belagavi using multi-stage random sampling. Six schools from each district were selected, and 30 students from each school were interviewed, spanning three age groups - 811, 1214, and 1518 years. As per the findings, driven by the need for social validation and the pull of digital popularity, one in six teenagers in the past one year in Karnataka has reported connecting with strangers online and one in ten (17% of boys and 4% of girls) has even gone on to meet them in person. A higher number of children in rural areas (12%) than urban (9%) were found to have met strangers offline. Even more concerning, the findings reflected that 1% of children across gender admitted to sharing intimate photos or videos with online strangers and that 7% of children had shared personal information with strangers online, including their full name, phone number, personal photos, home address, and even personal videos. Ages 1518 most vulnerable to unsafe interactions As per the findings, the age group of 15-18 was also found to be most vulnerable to unsafe interactions. About 5% of them reported feeling unsafe or embarrassed due to online experiences with Instagram accounting for 77% of such cases. While 53% said the perpetrator was a stranger, 35% said it was someone they knew, and 12% experienced both. However, only 34% of parents took formal action like reporting to the police. Instead, most preferred to block the offender or delete chat histories.

Meta invests $14.8 billion in Scale AI and recruits its CEO

Meta has finalized its $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI, which now values the startup that provides other companies with data labeling and model evaluation services for AI training at $29 billion. As part of the deal, Scale AI's founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will be joining Meta. According to The New York Times , Wang will lead Meta's fledgling Superintelligence lab. A few days ago, several reports came out that Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg has been personally overseeing the recruitment for a team he's assembling to achieve AI superintelligence . Zuckerberg, who was reportedly frustrated by the quality of Meta's Llama 4 LLM, has been inviting potential recruits to his home and offering them compensation packages worth seven to nine figures. Wang said in his note to Scale employees that he's taking a few other people from the startup with him to Meta to work on artificial intelligence. Meta has yet to formally announce the team and to reveal what their role will be, but their ultimate goal based on the name Superintelligence lab is to develop AI with intellectual powers far beyond any human's. This investment is Meta's second largest after its $19 billion Whatsapp acquisition . With its $14.3 billion investment, Meta will have a 49 percent stake on Scale but will have little control over its operations. The Times said the companies decided on that structure to avoid being scrutinized by regulators. Both Amazon's $4 billion investment in Anthropic and Microsoft's close ties to OpenAI were probed by regulators, after all. Meta itself is still battling the FTC in an antitrust case over its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. In his note to employees, Wang wrote that opportunities of this magnitude, pertaining to Meta's investment, come at a cost. That cost, he said, was his departure. Wang will still serve on Scale's Board of Directors, but his position as CEO will be taken over by Jason Droege, the startup's current Chief Strategy Officer. My note to Scale employees today pic.twitter.com/JKi35Yhvi1 Alexandr Wang (@alexandr_wang) June 13, 2025 This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/meta-invests-148-billion-in-scale-ai-and-recruits-its-ceo-130029612.html?src=rss

With plane crash, family's excitement for flight attendant Roshni's wedding turns into despair

THANE: Flight attendant Roshni Songhare was about to add a new chapter in her life as she was set to tie the knot with a merchant navy officer next year, and her excited family members had started making preparations for it. But all that excitement turned into despair after the news of the London-bound Air India flight crashing in Ahmedabad on Thursday afternoon broke. Roshni, 26, was one of the crew members on board that flight. This development plunged the Songhare family living on Rajaji Path in Dombivli town of Maharashtra's Thane district into numbing silence. Roshni had left her home three days ago for duty excited, as always, to serve on international flights - this time from Ahmedabad to London. But the fatal crash of the aircraft snuffed out her dreams and left her family members - 50-year-old father Rajendra, mother Shobha and younger brother Vignesh completely shattered. She was the heartbeat of this home. We were getting her engaged in November and married in March, a close relative told reporters in a trembling voice. Time played cruelly with her, he said. A native of Mandangad in coastal Ratnagiri district, the Songhare family had moved to Mumbai for work and shifted to Dombivli two years ago. Roshni, a bright and determined girl, was the family's pride and pillar. Her father worked tirelessly to educate both his children, and Roshni, inspired by the skies, pursued and completed a flight attendant course. She began her career with SpiceJet and later joined Air India, where she opted for international assignments relishing every airborne mile, her family members said. She was so happy to be flying again. We were all looking forward to her wedding. Everything was going right, said her uncle Praveen Sukhdere, who has rushed Dombivli to be with the grieving family. After the news about the plane crash flashed, the family members immediately tried to contact her. But when there was no response, panic gripped. Her father and brother immediately rushed to Ahmedabad, holding on to hope. Roshni's fianc, a highly educated officer in the merchant navy from Guhagar taluka, currently living in Thane, had met her through a family acquaintance. She was finally getting everything she had worked so hard for, a neighbour said tearfully. Apart from being a flight attendant, Roshni was also a social media influencer with over 54,000 followers on Instagram. Her account, which was once a reflection of celebration of her journey, is now filled with condolence messages, with one reading, You flew high, Roshni. You just flew a little too far. From a little girl with stars in her eyes to an international flight attendant with wings of hope, Roshni's journey inspired many, her close relatives said.

In an explosive chat (part one) with CNN-News18 Showsha's Titas Chowdhury, the Roja actor spills the beans on why she couldn't make female friends in Bollywood and why women actors often felt threatened by each other. She looks back at her film with Shah Rukh Khan, that got shelved, and why she doesn't regret turning down Baazigar. Madhoo further sheds light on why she always steered clear of doing 'explicit scenes' on-screen and having to do a kissing scene in a film - that wasn't a part of the script - without being informed about it. bollywood news | entertainment news live | latest bollywood news | bollywood | news18 | n18oc_moviesLiked the video?

Influencer Kanchan Kumari strangled, left in car by radical group over objectionable content, say Punjab police

CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Police have cracked the blind murder case of 30-year-old social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, popularly known as Kamal Kaur Bhabhi, with the arrest of two nihangs who allegedly killed her as part of a moral policing act. Kanchan was found dead under mysterious circumstances inside her car parked outside Adesh University at Bhucho Kalan, along the Bathinda-Chandigarh highway, on Wednesday. The arrested accused have been identified as Jaspreet Singh (32) of Mehron village in Moga district and Nimratjeet Singh (21) of Harike in Tarn Taran district. Both are unemployed and frequently wore nihang attire. They were arrested around 1 am on Thursday. However, the key accused, Amritpal Singh Mehron, remains absconding. Canada-based designated gangster-terrorist Arsh Dalla had also allegedly threatened Kanchan earlier, warning her of dire consequences if she continued posting objectionable videos. Confirming that the murder was premeditated and executed with full coordination, Senior Superintendent of Police of Bathinda, Amneet Kondal, said, The alleged accused Jaspreet Singh and Nimratjeet Singh have been arrested for the murder, while a search is on for the third accused, Amritpal Singh Mehron, a self-styled Sikh radical leader, who is on the run. They had earlier warned the deceased Kanchan not to post her online content, which they thought was vulgar and objectionable. The main accused Amritpal Singh had earlier warned her to stop posting vulgar videos and had planned to teach her a lesson. He, along with others, then hatched a conspiracy and they strangled her to death at an isolated location on Tuesday, Kondal added. She further revealed that on June 7, Amritpal had approached Kanchan at her Ludhiana residence and sought promotional work in Bathinda. He again met her the next day and convinced her to visit Bathinda. Then, on June 9, he contacted her again, and Kanchan agreed. That night, her mother could not contact her. Later, on Wednesday night, her decomposed body was found inside her car parked outside Adesh University near Bathinda, said Kondal. The alleged accused also took her to a workshop on the pretext of getting her car repaired. During an argument, Jaspreet, who was wearing a waistband under his shirt, strangled her. Later, her body was shifted and dumped in her car to mislead the police, Kondal said. She added that the police collected CCTV footage to trace the accused during the investigation. Kanchan, who belonged to a family of migrant workers but spoke fluent Punjabi, had 2.36 lakh followers on YouTube, 3.84 lakh on Instagram, and 1.74 lakh on Facebook. She frequently posted reels and stories and was cremated in Bathinda on Thursday as her family was unable to take her mutilated body back to Ludhiana. Her mother, Girija Devi, told the police that her daughter often travelled for promotional work. The arrests came after Amritpal Singh Mehron claimed responsibility for the murder on social media, just hours after Kanchans decomposed body was discovered. A video surfaced online in which Mehron is seen justifying the crime, saying Kanchan was killed by two of his accomplices. He claimed she belonged to a non-Sikh family but used a Sikh name to create immoral content. He went on to say that his accomplices would continue to target people engaged in objectionable content creation.

Vizag sewerage project cost revised to Rs 452 crore

VIJAYAWADA: The State government has issued a revised administrative sanction of Rs 452.46 crore to the Greater Visakhapatnam Smart City Corporation Limited (GVSCCL) for the implementation of an integrated sewage collection and conveyance system, along with a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), in Pendurthi of Visakhapatnam district. The project includes Recycled Sewage Gravity Flow (RSGF), Tertiary Treatment, and comprehensive Operation and Maintenance (O&M) services for 15 years. Principal Secretary (Municipal Administration and Urban Development) S Suresh Kumar said the initiative marks a critical step in enhancing urban sanitation infrastructure and promoting the sustainable reuse of treated wastewater in the rapidly growing city. Taken up jointly by the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) and GVSCCL, the project aims to establish an underground drainage network for around 12,000 houses, ensuring the safe collection, treatment and disposal of sewage. Initially awarded to Tata Projects Ltd in 2018 with a stipulated completion period of 2 years and 5 months, the original deadline of April 23, 2021, was extended due to various unforeseen delays. The latest extension of time (EoT) now allows project completion by July 31, 2025, with work nearing completion. Several technical changes became necessary during execution, such as constructing a fourth aeration tank at Narava STP, enhancing the flash mixer feed sump capacity, and undertaking dust-filling works along the BRTS road, and Chinthala Agraharam. The original project cost was Rs 412 crore. However, due to rising input costs, interest during construction, and an increase in GST from 12% to 18%, the project saw a cost overrun. GVSCCL requested an additional Rs 40.46 crore, which the government approved, including a supplementary contribution from the GVMC. It ensures the timely delivery of this vital infrastructure project.

Plane plummets to Earth, a phone call that never came

NEW DELHI: An old and ailing father in Mumbai realises its futile to wait for his son to come home and take care of him. The son, Pilot-in-Command Sumit Sabharwal, died in Thursdays Air India plane crash. He phoned his dad before the flight to London. Ill call you once I reach London. He barely made it to the perimeter of the airport before the Dreamliner plummeted to Earth. Three days back, the younger Sabharwal had a heart-to-heart chat with his dad. The conversation must have thrilled the old man, who lived alone after his wife passed away a couple of years ago. Sumit told him that he wanted to stop flying and take care of his father. The son was a bachelor. Friends and relatives dropped in to see the father all day. Sabharwal must be 55 or 56 years, said Captain CS Randhawa, president of the Federation of Indian Pilots Association, recalling how he took care of his father. Sabharwal, a highly experienced pilot, was a Line Training Captain with more than 8,000 hours of flying experience. He was himself involved in safety checks of flights, Captain Randhawa said. The Association has around 6,000 members, and Sabharwal was one of them. We push a lot for flight safety, and he was one of us, he said. The co-pilot, Clive Kunder, had over 1,000 hours of flying experience, Captain Randhawa said. On Thursday evening, it emerged that Kunder, the first officer operating on the flight, was 12th Fail actor Vikrant Masseys cousin. My heart breaks for the families & loved ones of the ones who lost their lives in the unimaginably tragic air crash in Ahmedabad today, the actor posted on Instagram. It pains even more to know that my uncle, Clifford Kunder, lost his son, Clive Kunder, who was the 1st officer operating on that fateful flight. May God give strength to you and your family, uncle, he added. Co-pilot Deepak Pathak is also from Maharashtra. He is from Badlapur in Thane district. His colleagues say he was experienced in long-haul flying and was quite efficient at work. His family refused to believe that Deepak died in the crash. His mother said that they are calling Deepak, and his phone is ringing, so they firmly believe that he is alive. We are still hopeful that Deepak is alive and he will come back. Deepak used to make the first call home before going anywhere, and he spoke with his mother before leaving for London as a co-pilot, said the co-pilot family member. Two of the crew members were also from Maharashtra. Arpan Mahadik is from Goregaon, Mumbai, while Roshani Songhare is from Dombivali. Mahadik is a relative of NCP state president Sunil Tatkare. Soon after the names of the pilot and crew flashed in the media, Shiv Sena MLA Dilip Lande rushed to the house of Sumit Sabharwal in Powai and met the 88-year-old father, Pushkraj Sabharwal. Lande said the father was waiting for his daughter and two grandchildren to come home to him. I will call you once i reach london: Captain Pilot-in-Command Sumit Sabharwal, phoned his old and ailing dad before the flight to London. Ill call you once I reach London.

Amid boycott calls over alleged ties with Israel, business booms for Tata-owned Zudio

KOZHIKODE: Even as protests gather momentum, especially in Kerala, against Tata-owned fashion retailer Zudio, accused of indirect business ties with Israel, there has been an unexpected twist. Amid slogans of dissent and placards condemning alleged complicity in a humanitarian crisis, Zudios outlets are experiencing record-breaking footfall and sales, revealing a fascinating and deeply human paradox between public outrage and private consumption. At the heart of the controversy lies the accusation that Tata Group, through its multiple ventures including Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Tata Advanced Systems, maintains defence, technology and surveillance partnerships with Israel, a country currently under international scrutiny for its role in the Gaza conflict. In Kerala, the Students Islamic Organisation (SIO), student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami, has taken the lead in mobilizing people. Speaking to The New Indian Express , Abdul Wahid, State President of SIO, said, Israel's actions are a clear violation of international law and human conscience. Even humanitarian aid ships like the Madleen, led by activists such as Greta Thunberg, are being seized. Supporting companies linked to Israel is akin to funding this violence. SIO has launched a multi-tiered protest strategy: street demonstrations, social media campaigns, awareness drives in colleges, and alliances with international pro-human rights organizations. Their slogan, Bloodstains on New Clothes, now widely shared across Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), directly targets Zudio's rising sales as symbolic of consumer apathy. Were not just boycotting a brand, says Muhammed Shafaque, Kozhikode District President of SIO. We are boycotting silence. Every rupee spent must reflect conscience. Placards bearing statements like Zudio Supports Genocide and Our Silence Funds the Bombing have become common sights at protests in cities like Kozhikode, Kochi, Malappuram and Thiruvananthapuram. Yet, on the other hand, Zudio stores tell a completely different story. Sales have not droppedthey have soared. From Kochis Oberon Mall to Kozhikodes Hilite Mall, shoppers, especially Gen Z and young working-class women, are flooding the aisles. I understand the moral debate, says Ritu Nair, 27, a freelance stylist from Kozhikode. But I can't afford high-end brands. Zudio gives me trendy clothes within my budget. I want to support humanity, but I also need clothes I can wear to work. This view resonates with many middle-class Indians, who see the boycott as either impractical or selectively enforced. Meanwhile, social media influencers and vloggers are launching counter-narratives using hashtags like #ZudioStyleForAll and #FashionWithoutBorders, arguing that fashion should remain apolitical and accessible. Adding complexity to the discourse is Arif Hussain Theruvath, an ex-Muslim activist and critic of the boycott movement. In a conversation with TNIE, he dissected the campaigns motivations. This is not a desi invention. Its inspired by the global BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement. But what is often hidden is the selective outrage, Arif argued. Where was this energy for Yemen or Sudan? Or for the Hindu minorities in Pakistan? Its not universal moralityits religious sentiment. He went on to challenge the idea of genocide being selectively applied and criticised what he described as anti-Semitism disguised as humanitarianism. According to him, the public surge towards Zudio stores represents a form of grassroots rebuttal. The people didnt wait for the right wing to respond. They saw through the double standards and supported Zudio on their own. Thats how we democratize response to religious extremismwithout enabling political polarization. Arif also pointed to the irony of targeting Tata, a conglomerate deeply embedded in Indias infrastructurefrom software to aviation, and even the passport system (TCS manages the backend). Its a convenient target, but an unrealistic boycott, he added. During the Eid shopping spree, Zudio outlets launched massive festival offersa move seen by some as capitalising on timing, and by others as an innocent seasonal sale. Either way, it led to a sales boom, with some stores running out of stock of popular designs. A staff member at Zudios Kozhikode outlet, requesting anonymity, confirmed the spike. Weve had one of the highest footfalls in the past six months. Even with the protests happening outside some stores, the shopping never stopped. SIO has declared to intensify its campaign, especially in universities and youth spaces. Their next step includes collaborative digital campaigns with international activists, and they also observed global protest events on June 12, including a humanitarian march from Egypt to the Rafah border, where doctors and peace advocates from 31 countries are participating. Yet, the consumer wave shows no sign of withdrawing. In malls and shopping streets across Kerala, customers are consciously or subconsciously choosing affordability, aesthetics, and accessoften in tension with the idealism of international justice. As one customer put it while leaving a Zudio store near Indoor Stadium in Kozhikode, I understand the bigger picture, but right now, I need a kurti that fits. Maybe thats selfish. Or maybe thats just life. Top leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have strongly condemned the boycott campaign against Tata-owned Zudio. Former BJP state chief K Surendran described the Tata group as a pillar of Indias economic strength and criticised the protestors as extremists with divisive intentions. Sharing a video of himself shopping at a Zudio store, he wrote, Those calling for a boycott of Tata over its alleged support for Israel are not just targeting a companytheyre targeting the very fabric of India. Today its Zudio, tomorrow it will be India itself. This wave of extremism must be firmly resisted.

Bird hit most likely reason for Air India crash in Ahmedabad, say aviation experts

NEW DELHI: The horrendous Air India crash at Ahmedabad which resulted in 241 fatalities was most probably caused by a bird (kite) hit, which resulted in the rare failure of both the engines simultaneously, say experts who are also former pilots well versed with the operations of this wide-bodied plane. Captain C S Randhawa, who has flown a Boeing 777 for 15 years, and was the former Deputy Chief Flight Inspector, Operations, at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, said, Three possible reasons could be behind the crash a bird hit shutting down both the engines, the contamination of the fuel with water and a control jam issue. The most probable one appears to the bird hit. Randhawa said the Dreamliner would have been fully stocked with 70,000 litres of aviation turbine fuel loaded onto it. After take-off, the captain appears to have applied the gear up at 50 feet and at 250 feet, the auto-pilot was switched on which is as per procedure. However, at 500 to 600 feet, he announced a Mayday call (severe emergency) to the Air Traffic Control. While the reason is usually immediately spelt out, in this case there appears to have been no time for him to state it. An aircraft can be struck by a bird or a flock of birds suddenly, causing total damage to the engine, he said, adding, Both Ahmedabad and Agra airports are full of birds. Incidents of aircraft being hit by birds keep happening on and off. 'I got up and ran': Lone survivor on miraculous escape from Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad Recalling a similar incident of twin engine failure which happened on January 15, 2009, to US Airways flight 1549, Randhawa said, The Airbus A320, which took off from La Guardia airport, suffered a double engine failure after it struck a flock of birds. Fortunately, the captain was able to steer it into the Hudson Bay and all the 155 passengers on board survived. Another possibility is the presence of water inside the fuel when loaded which could have a caused fuel contamination and the sudden seizure of engines, he added. Another theory is that of a control jam. When this technical fault happens, the controls like rudders and elevators (which help in lifting the flight) among others may have failed. All we can do is speculate on the reasons. When the digital flight recorder and the cockpit voice recorder are recovered, the real reasons will be out, Randhawa added. Aviation safety consultant and instructor Captain Mohan Ranganathan said, Bird hit appears to be the reason as of now. Ahmedabad airport has a history of a huge bird population. I flagged this issue 17 years ago and have written extensively about it too. He alleged, The reason for such a huge presence is due to slaughterhouses in the vicinity of airports which should never have been allowed. They are never relocated by the authorities because they are owned by politicians or their relatives. There are multiple building height violations near the airport premises too, which should never have been permitted, he said. At Mumbai airport, the structural violations issue was ordered to be monitored by the High Court. If a similar incident happens at Delhi on Runway 09, the flight will head right into Vasant Vihar, he added.

Instagram will soon let you re-arrange your grid

You don't have to make a huge effort planning Instagram posts anymore so that your profile takes on a certain aesthetic or so that your grid reads or looks a certain way. Instagram will soon (and finally) let you re-order the posts already on your grid. Alessandro Paluzzi, who reverse engineered apps and posted upcoming features online, found an edit grid option within Instagram way back in 2022. Instagram didn't say when exactly the feature will be available, but when you do get the edit grid option, tapping it will take you to a screen where you can rearrange your posts in the way you want them to appear on your profile. In the post announcement from Instagram head Adam Mosseri, he also revealed that Instagram is exploring a way that will allow you to post to your account without broadcasting it to your followers' feeds. The idea is to make posting less intimidating and to allow you to keep your account active without the pressure. Mosseri also didn't say when the feature is rolling out, but take note that his post is about Instagram's investments in creativity for this year. Finally, the Instagram head announced that trial Reels are now available to everyone. Trial Reels will allow you to publish Reels that bypass your followers' feeds. Those Reels are then recommended to non-followers instead, since the feature's original purpose was to give creators a way to experiment with new types of content that could alienate their current audience. Mosseri said that the hope is for trial Reels to give everyone greater freedom to explore their creativity in a low-pressure way.

WTC Final: It Means The World To Me, Says Sana Mir After Ringing Historic Bell At Lords

ICC World Test Championship: Ahead of day twos play in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final between Australia and South Africa at Lord's, former Pakistan captain Sana Mir had the honour to ring the historic bell, a moment which she described as means the world to me. Lord's has so much history. It's the home of cricket and being here in this special time, getting the Hall of Fame and then this Test match final, I'm so honoured to be here and being part of all these historical rituals at Lord's, historical traditions, it means the world to me, said Sana in a video on ICCs Instagram account on Thursday. Asked what was on her mind before going to ring the bell at Lords, Sana stated, I mean I knew that ringing the Lord's bell is only once in a lifetime opportunity. So I made sure I get all the instructions and the instructions were to ring it five times. That makes sense because my shirt number was five, so I don't know, I'll have to see the replay. Before the 2025 WTC final between reigning champions Australia and first-time finalists South Africa began on Wednesday, Sana had been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame in a glittering ceremony held at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London. Apart from her, Hashim Amla, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Matthew Hayden, Graeme Smith, Sarah Taylor and Daniel Vettori were also inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Sana had become Pakistans captain at 23 and led them for seven years, including winning two Asian Games gold medals in 2010 and 2014. In her 15-year international career, she retired as her countrys leading wicket-taker in ODI cricket 151 wickets at an average of 24.27 in 120 matches. She also ended up as the second-highest wicket-taker for Pakistan in womens T20I cricket - 89 wickets at an average of 23.42 in 89 games. She also amassed 1,630 runs at an average of 17.91 in ODIs and 802 runs at an average of 14.07 in T20Is.
