BRICS Summit: Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, Amrit Udyan shut from Sep 11 to 13
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) In view of security, logistical arrangements and the focus on decongesting central Delhi for the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit, the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum and Amrit Udyan will remain closed for visitors from September 11 to 13, said an official on Thursday. The Change of Guard Ceremony will also not take place at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan on Saturday, said the official in a statement. The closure is part of an effort to minimise inconvenience to BRICS delegates and avoid congestion on roads by restricting public visitors to areas close to the Summit venue. The Delhi Metro has also decided to keep its museum at the Supreme Court metro station closed for three days starting Friday. While the Delhi government had earlier declared a holiday for its offices on September 11, the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions issued an official circular declaring a holiday for Central government offices on that day. Earlier, the Delhi Traffic Police informed the public about a change in dates for official work and legal cases in courts, especially those situated near the BRICS Summit venue at Bharat Mandapam. The traffic police advisory said that a National Lok Adalat that was scheduled to be held on September 12 in courts will now be organised on October 10. Since subordinate courts will observe a holiday on September 11 and 12, the advisory said that cases listed on these two dates will now be listed on September 14. The traffic police said that litigants should check the new date of their court case or Lok Adalat before leaving their homes and avoid an unnecessary journey to the high-security and traffic-regulated zone. Ahead of the international event, the Delhi Traffic Police have been conducting rehearsals for traffic movement during the Summit. As part of the traffic management drill for the events from September 11 to 13, the Traffic Police have planned diversions at 22 points with regulated traffic movement on more than 35 roads. During the trial runs, the traffic police enforced curbs and diversions between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a Motor Carcade Rehearsal ahead of the BRICS Business Forum and the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit. September 12 and 13, being a Saturday and Sunday, are expected to be relatively less challenging for traffic managers who are handling Summit-related arrangements. The traffic police have urged citizens and cab service providers to go through the advisory issued for routes where movement will be restricted, in view of the upcoming BRICS Summit in the national capital. Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dinesh Kumar Gupta said that advisories are being shared with the public through the Delhi Police website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and print media so that the public does not face inconvenience during the movement. We have 22 diversion points in place, under which we will divert the traffic from designated points. We have also briefed our staff to guide people, wherever needed, regarding the diverted routes, he added.
Jharkhand HC seeks responses from ISPs over internet disruptions in Ranchi
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 10 (IANS) Taking a serious view of the disruption of internet services in several areas of Ranchi during a drive to remove the web of internet and cable wires from electricity poles, the Jharkhand High Court has sought responses from all internet service providers and directed the immediate restoration of affected connections. Hearing a public interest litigation registered suo motu on Thursday, a division bench of Chief Justice M.S. Sonak and Justice Rajesh Shankar asked the service providers to furnish details on the dates when connections were disconnected, the areas affected, the number of connections severed, and the number of services restored so far. The bench also directed them to submit a compliance report after restoring the disrupted services. During the hearing on Thursday, senior officials of the Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd (JBVNL), including CMD Srinivasan, along with representatives of BSNL, Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea, appeared before the court in person. The bench sought a status report from all telecom operators regarding the disruption and restoration of internet services. The court observed that internet services for citizens could not remain disrupted indefinitely due to the ongoing exercise to remove cables from electric poles. In an oral observation, the bench remarked that a misunderstanding of the courts order had caused unnecessary inconvenience to the public. The High Court also expressed strong displeasure over the conduct of BSNL Chief General Manager (CGM) Vipul Agrawal. In connection with allegations that he spoke inappropriately to a High Court official over a phone call, the bench directed him to submit an unconditional written apology by September 14. During the proceedings, counsels representing BSNL and Jio informed the court that the internet line serving the High Court had already been restored. They also assured the bench that internet connectivity for public utility services and private consumers affected by the drive would be restored at the earliest. The matter has been posted for further hearing on September 16.

Omar defends Tanvir, says Vande Mataram compliance is statutory
Srinagar, Sep 10: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday defended his party colleague and chief spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq over his remarks on poverty in Kashmir, while saying that the singing of the full version of Vande Mataram at government functions was now a statutory obligation. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the ongoing International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir, Abdullah also said he hoped the festival would pave the way for more film shoots in the region and create new employment opportunities for local youth. On the prospects of films being shot in Kashmir, Abdullah said the development would boost tourism while opening up jobs for young people. Hopefully, films will be shot here. It will certainly give a boost to tourism, but it can also start a new process of employment here, he said. Abdullah said the government wanted local youth to acquire skills that could help them find work in the film industry. I said on the very first day that our effort is that our local boys and girls should take courses in camera work, production and other such areas, so that when films are shot here, they get an opportunity to work in them, he said. The Chief Minister was also asked about a protest by Kashmiri Pandit employees over accommodation. Which Kashmiri Pandit is without accommodation? Abdullah asked, asserting that not a single one of them is homeless. Wherever accommodation has been made available, it has been allotted to them. So which Kashmiri Pandit employee is without accommodation? he said. If there is even one or two people who need accommodation, tell us. Everyone else has been allotted accommodation, Abdullah added. On the controversy over the singing of the complete version of Vande Mataram at the film festival, amid objections from Congress leaders, Abdullah said the government was bound by law. Either they should have stopped this in Parliament. But the law has been made, he said. He argued that the presence of the Lieutenant Governor, governors and the Acting Chief Justice at a government function meant that the national anthem would necessarily be played, and said the legal framework now also covered the national song. This is not just for Jammu and Kashmir; it is across the country. Wherever there are Congress governments, this will also happen at government functions, Abdullah said. If it does not happen, those who do not stand can face legal action. So what does Congress want? That Kashmiris should be put in jail on this pretext? he asked. Abdullah, however, made it clear that the National Conference's position on Vande Mataram as a party remained unchanged. As a party, we have never adopted Vande Mataram and we will not adopt it in the future either. But we have to fulfil our legal and statutory obligations, he said. He added that if the Congress disagreed with the law, it could repeal it if it returned to power at the Centre. Turning to the controversy over remarks by Tanvir Sadiq on poverty among Kashmiris in the past, Abdullah rejected calls for an apology or clarification. What did Tanvir say that was historically incorrect? Walter Lawrence wrote about it in his book, Abdullah said. He said several historians had written about the poverty and exploitation prevalent in Kashmir under the old agrarian system. And this is not the first time Tanvir has said this. Hardly any senior National Conference leader, from our president to the general secretary and others, has not spoken about a time when Kashmiris were so poor that they had to borrow a pajama from the mosque to come into the city, he said. This is not Tanvir's own thinking. It is a historical fact, Abdullah said. He said Sadiq's intention had been to highlight how Kashmir had emerged from that poverty and progressed to a point where families could educate their children and produce doctors and engineers. So the BJP and PDP are playing the same game together. They take up one common issue and run with it. They have a common agenda, Abdullah alleged. Tanvir does not need to apologise for this. Nor does he need to give any clarification. There is no need for anyone in my party to apologise over this. Tanvir has said nothing wrong, he said. On the BRICS summit scheduled in Delhi, Abdullah said he would wait to see how the meeting develops, while noting the participation of countries including Russia, China, South Africa and Brazil. On the J&K Cabinet meeting, Abdullah said the government would continue its regular business. We hold at least one Cabinet meeting every month. The governance agenda cannot stop, he said, adding that there would be nothing earth-shattering in the meeting.

SC seeks Centres response on PIL to bar minors from maintaining social media accounts independently
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the Centre on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking directions to ensure that children below the age of 18 are not permitted to independently create and maintain accounts on social media and other digital platforms. A Bench of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana issued the notice on the plea filed by Just Rights for Children Alliance through advocate Saksham Maheshwari. The PIL contends that children below 18 are presently permitted to independently create and maintain accounts on social media platforms despite their statutory incapacity to enter into contracts under Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. It contends that an agreement entered into by a minor is void ab initio and argues that the absence of an effective and uniform mechanism giving practical effect to this legal incapacity in the digital environment exposes children to several foreseeable risks. These risks include online grooming, sexual exploitation, trafficking, behavioural profiling, misuse of personal data, cyberbullying, exposure to age-inappropriate content and other harms affecting children's safety, dignity, development and well-being. The petitioner organisation has sought directions to the Union government to ensure that persons below 18 years of age are not permitted to enter into contracts with digital platforms, including social media, online gaming, content-sharing, live-streaming and other user-generated-content platforms. However, the plea seeks that children be allowed access to lawful, educational and age-appropriate digital content through accounts maintained and controlled by their parents or lawful guardians, subject to an appropriate regulatory framework. The petition has referred to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, and a NITI Aayog report concerning online safety for children. It has also relied upon the terms of service of platforms including Meta, Snap, YouTube and Instagram, besides referring to incidents concerning the alleged enticement of minors through social media platforms and their subsequent exploitation. The plea has cited an incident in which girls were allegedly trapped through a K-pop lure and subsequently rescued, along with a chart documenting incidents relating to the enticement of minors through social media platforms and consequent exploitation. The petition has contended that the existing digital ecosystem does not provide an adequate and uniform mechanism to protect minors from online harms and that children require enhanced safeguards given their age and vulnerability. The PIL has sought appropriate directions to create a regulatory framework that balances children's access to lawful and educational digital content with safeguards against exploitation and other online risks. The matter has been tentatively listed for further hearing on September 25.

May this smile on your face stay forever!) Elated by the love from her parents, Shriya commented, Love youuuuuu, along with a red heart, evil eye, and clapperboard emoji. Meanwhile, Shriya recently came in defense of her father, Sachin, who has been on the receiving end of social media. While speaking exclusively to IANS, Shriya said that many people do not take into account the depth of experience Sachin brings with more than six decades in the film industry. Shriya told IANS, He has more than 60 years of experience in the film industry and people are just not aware of the range and scale of experiences he has. She added that it is only natural for someone with such vast experience to share incidents from his journey during his media interactions. In a setup where somebody is asked, of course you are going to share your experiences. I feel like the love is so much that there is no space for negativity, Shriya shared.

British-Indian vodka brand Desi Daru heads to Roma Bar Show with Alphonso mango
Highlights: Desi Daru debuts at Roma Bar Show, 1415 September, stand F03 Follows the brand's fresh Italian launch with distributor Drinksnova Show draws 200+ exhibitors and around 17,000 visitors, including Pernod Ricard and Coca-Cola Bartender Elisa Favaron and brand manager Gregorio Soriente to guest-pour both days B Corp-certified brand recently named Taste Master at The Vodka Masters 2026 British-Indian vodka brand Desi Daru is set to make its Roma Bar Show debut at La Nuvola on 1415 September, showcasing its Original and Alphonso Mango expressions at stand F03, floor -1, zone F. The appearance follows hot on the heels of the brand's recent launch in Italy, struck in partnership with importer and distributor Drinksnova. Founder Mohit Singh described the show as the ideal launchpad for the brand's earliest weeks in the country, framing the appearance as a chance to introduce Desi Daru directly to some of Europe's most discerning bartenders. What is Roma Bar Show? Now in its sixth edition, Roma Bar Show is Italy's leading trade event dedicated to the beverage, bar and hospitality industries. Launched in 2019, it brings together bartenders, bar owners, producers, distributors and international drinks brands for two days of tastings, masterclasses and business networking. This year's edition takes place at a new venue, La Nuvola in Rome's EUR district, organised in partnership with Fiere di Parma. Organisers expect more than 200 exhibitors, including major names such as Gruppo Montenegro, Pernod Ricard, Coca-Cola and Luxardo, building on last year's turnout of roughly 17,000 visitors. The show also runs a dedicated Buyers Programme connecting exhibitors with international importers and distributors, alongside the Roma Bar Show Awards recognising excellence in Italian hospitality. See on Instagram Why it matters for Desi Daru The timing makes the show a genuine market-entry moment rather than a routine promotional stop. Having only just confirmed Italian distribution with Drinksnova, Desi Daru is using the event to put itself in front of trade buyers and bartenders it might otherwise struggle to reach so quickly. Sharing floor space with established giants such as Pernod Ricard and Coca-Cola also lends the young, independently founded brand credibility by association. Just as importantly, the appearance fits the brand's established growth pattern: steady, on-trade-led momentum built through listings and partnerships in the UK, South Asia and the Middle East, rather than one large marketing push. On the ground Desi Daru will pour both expressions throughout the event, serving Indian-inspired cocktails alongside the Drinksnova team, led by director Adriano Proia. Joining the stand for guest shifts will be Italian bartender Elisa Favaron, bar manager of Cuc in Bassano del Grappa and winner of the Reverso Martini competition at Venice Cocktail Week 2025, alongside Desi Daru brand manager Gregorio Soriente, formerly of the Savoy's American Bar and the Zetter Townhouse. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Mohit Singh and Aneet Kaur to reflect their dual heritage, the B Corp-certified brand recently saw its Original Vodka named Taste Master at The Vodka Masters 2026 the latest marker in a fast-moving year of growth.

Kishan followed up his double century with 80 in the second innings, and took his match tally to 350 runs. Jharkhands emerging talents played a pivotal role in East Zones triumphant run. Apart from Kushagra, Shikhar Mohan produced an impressive 85 on his Duleep Trophy debut and continued the strong touch he has displayed in the last domestic season. The duo, along with Kishan, ensured that Jharkhands influence remained central to East Zones title victory. Earlier in the morning, Quraishi and Roy extended their seventh-wicket partnership to 150 runs, and pushed East Zones total beyond the 700-run mark. South Zone were penalised five runs in the 73rd over due to an unacceptably slow over-rate, following a prolonged discussion between the match officials and South Zone captain Tilak Varma. Quraishi eventually brought up his maiden first-class century in the 96th over by driving pacer CV Milind towards extra cover for two runs to reach the three-figure mark. The young batter removed his helmet and raised his arms to celebrate as his teammates lauded him with a standing ovation from the balcony. Quraishi capped his milestone in the following over by striking back-to-back sixes off spinner Tripurana Vijay over mid-wicket and long-on. From the other end, Roy completed a patient half-century by steering Shaik Rasheed through point for a single in the 89th over. Roys resistance ended when he was caught at slip by Devdutt Padikkal off MD Nidheesh for 64, after pushing loosely at a length delivery outside off-stump. After Quraishi chipped a delivery from Milind safely down to mid-on off the second ball of the 100th over, skipper Kishan officially signalled the declaration from the pavilion. The umpires immediately removed the bails to conclude the final, thus confirming East Zone as the new champions.

Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, has been eliminated from Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 15. Following his exit from the stunt-based reality show, Orry took to Instagram to reflect on his experience and open up about the struggles that often remain hidden behind his glamorous public image.

Nobody sees beyond that the chaos, the struggle, the hustle, the hard work, the grit, and the days your head is literally locked in a box of rats. People think living a glamorous life means you've never faced hardship, but one cannot build resilience on fluff. During his stint on the show, Orry participated in several challenging stunts and pushed himself through difficult tasks. Reflecting on his determination, he said, You don't face your fears like this if your life was always easy and smooth sailing.

Kashmir was Not Created by the National Conference; the Abdullah legacy is not Kashmirs history
Chief spokesperson of the National Conference and MLA Zadibal Tanvir Sadiqs recent statement is not merely ignorant; it is profoundly insulting to the dignity, memory and historical identity of Kashmiris. The backlash it has provoked across sections of Kashmir society is therefore hardly surprising. The deeper problem, however, is not one ill-considered statement by one National Conference leader. It reflects a much larger political habit: the attempt to present the history of Kashmir through the narrow prism of the Abdullah family and the National Conference, as though Kashmirs identity, culture and political consciousness began with Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. Kashmiris were elegantly, confidently and decently dressed decades before Sheikh Abdullah was born. Kashmir possessed a sophisticated social, cultural, intellectual and economic life long before the Abdullah family entered politics. Its history did not begin in 1931, and certainly did not begin with the National Conference. Yet the NC repeatedly behaves as though it possesses a proprietary right over Kashmirs history and identity. This is the real arrogance of the Abdullah legacy. It does not merely seek political power; it seeks to monopolise the narrative of Kashmir itself. It is time that this mythology was challenged. The Abdullah transformation Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah undeniably became the most consequential political figure in twentieth-century Kashmir. But historical importance does not grant immunity from historical scrutiny. The period after 1931 saw the rapid transformation of Kashmirs political landscape. Abdullah emerged as the dominant political force and ultimately constructed an extraordinary concentration of political authority around himself and his organisation. His supporters have traditionally presented this history as an uncomplicated struggle for liberation and social justice. The other side deserves to be heard. Muslim political opponents of the National Conference, including those associated with alternative religious and political currents, were not simply irrelevant reactionaries. Full integrationists, Pro-Pakistan voices, advocates of independence, left-wing critics and independent journalists represented genuine strands of political opinion within Kashmir. Many faced repression, censorship, intimidation or political exclusion. Sheikh Abdullahs administration (19471953) systematically targeted and suppressed pro-India and pro-integration voices within the Kashmir Valley itself. In the valley, anyone who advocated for complete constitutional merger with India, questioned J&K's special autonomous status under Article 370, or challenged the NC's absolute political monopoly was treated as an existential threat to the administration. This suppression inside the valley manifested through specific political, legislative, and security mechanisms. The Mirwaiz establishment and its supporters also experienced particularly bitter political confrontation with the National Conference. Downtown Srinagar became an arena of intense political contestation, while institutions associated with Abdullah's opponents were subjected to political pressure. The crucial point is this: Kashmiri Muslims did not unanimously speak through Sheikh Abdullah. Nor did Kashmiri Hindus. Nor did the National Conference represent every Kashmiri aspiration. That uncomfortable truth has too often been buried beneath decades of political hagiography. The Kashmir that existed before the Abdullahs An honest examination of Kashmirs past reveals a far more complex society than the simplistic political narratives that have dominated public discourse in recent times. Before 1931, for example, organised Hindu-Muslim communal riots were not the defining feature of everyday life in the Valley. Popular unrest was frequently driven by economic exploitation, agrarian distress, taxation, forced labour and oppressive administration. That does not mean Kashmir had no religious conflict. It certainly did. The Mughal and Afghan periods witnessed episodes of intense sectarian violence, particularly between Shia and Sunni communities, as well as state persecution of Kashmiri Pandits under particular rulers and officials. But for centuries, ordinary Kashmiris lived through extensive social and economic interdependence. Muslims and Hindus worked together, traded together and shared aspects of a remarkably rich cultural life. Even during periods of oppression, the relationship between communities was considerably more complicated than the communal binaries subsequently constructed by political movements. The horrific disturbances associated with figures such as Mahtavi Khan demonstrate another important reality: communal and sectarian violence could emerge when political authority weakened and extremist forces attempted to capture society. Such episodes should be remembered, but they should not be selectively weaponised to rewrite the entire history of Kashmir. Likewise, the overthrow of Afghan rule in 1819 cannot be understood simply as a Hindu-Muslim confrontation. Kashmiri opposition to Afghan oppression included cooperation across communities. Pandit Birbal Dhars efforts to seek Maharaja Ranjit Singhs intervention were aided by Muslim allies and local chieftains like Qadus Gojwari, Sultan Khan, the Muslim chieftain of the princely state of Bhimbar and Malik Anwar Chowdhury and the other Border Chieftains. This history of cooperation deserves as much attention as the episodes of conflict. The Pandit privilege myth Another convenient political narrative has been the portrayal of Kashmiri Pandits as one uniformly privileged community benefiting from state power. The historical reality was much more complicated. While some Pandits occupied positions in administration, the overwhelming majority of ordinary Pandits were neither wealthy nor powerful. Rural and lower-income Pandit families experienced poverty, economic stagnation and the same devastating famines and underdevelopment that afflicted ordinary Muslims. The Kashmiri Pandit Reform Association, established in the early twentieth century, itself reflected deep socio-economic and cultural concerns within the community. This matters because reducing an entire minority to the caricature of a privileged elite became politically useful. It created a convenient social target and allowed legitimate grievances to be transformed into communal resentment. The politics of exclusion Abdullahs political programme also had consequences beyond the central Valley. The Gujjars and Bakerwals, Shia communities, frontier populations, urban political opponents and sections of the traditional merchant classes had interests that did not always fit comfortably within the political model emerging from the Valleys dominant agrarian constituency. The National Conferences land reforms and social policies undoubtedly altered Kashmirs economic structure and benefited many, particularly sections of the peasantry. But acknowledging those achievements without talking about its devastating effect on the small and marginal farmers under absentee cultivators does not reflect an honest assessment of the situation. A mature historical assessment must ask who benefited, who lost influence, who was excluded and who was silenced. That assessment has remained inadequate. The real unfinished task For decades, Kashmirs political history has too often been narrated as though Sheikh Abdullah were simultaneously its protagonist, interpreter and moral authority. That needs to change. The history of Kashmir must also include those who opposed him, those who suffered under his policies, those who disagreed with the National Conference and those whose voices were marginalised by the dominant political narrative. The same applies to the Kashmiri Pandit community. Its history cannot begin with the displacement of 198990, nor can its earlier experiences be dismissed through the convenient label of privilege. Its suffering, aspirations, contributions and political experiences are integral to Kashmirs history. And Kashmirs history cannot be reduced to the Abdullah family. The National Conference may have played a major role in the political history of Jammu and Kashmir after 1931. It cannot therefore claim ownership of Kashmir itself. Kashmir existed before the National Conference. Kashmirs culture existed before Sheikh Abdullah. Kashmirs intellectual and social life existed before the Abdullah dynasty. And Kashmir will continue to exist beyond the political fortunes of the National Conference. Tanvir Sadiq and his colleagues should therefore stop lecturing Kashmiris about what Kashmir was or what Kashmiris should remember. Before attempting to define Kashmir for others, they should acknowledge the Kashmir that existed before their political movementand the many Kashmiris whose voices their political tradition has historically sought to marginalise. Kashmir belongs to its peoplenot to the Abdullah family, not to the National Conference, and certainly not to any political dynasty claiming a monopoly over its history. The time has come to dig deeper, challenge inherited political mythology and bring the other side of Kashmirs history into the light.

Environmental pollution poses a grave threat to the survival of humanity in modern times. For centuries, man has remained dependent on his surrounding environment for food, water, air, and shelter. The relationship between man and his environment is of utmost significance, characterized by a free exchange between the ecosystem and human systems. However, in recent decades, this balance has been disturbed, primarily due to the increasing wants and interests of man. Scientific success and technological advancements have made man materially prosperous but have severely damaged his most important companionthe environment. Environmental pollution is increasing with societal growth and development. While progress is essential, it should not come at the cost of life, health, and nature. It is the duty of every civilized person to keep surroundings cleannot only for human beings but also for animals, birds, plants, and trees. The Holy Quran emphasizes this balance. Allah states in Surah Ankaboot (44): Allah created the heavens and the earth in true proportions. In Surah Qamar (49), He declares: Verily, all things have been created in proportion and measure. We take pride in advances in agriculture, medicine, biotechnology, energy, and industry. However, these advances have created problems of pollution, overpopulation, new diseases, imbalance of natural resources, global warming, and destruction of wildlife. The beautiful valley of Kashmir has been richly endowed with nature and environment, sustaining its people for generations. But it is an unpleasant fact that as the people of Kashmir have become more civilized, they have increasingly infested their environment. We have plundered its beauty to such an extent that we are now anxiously concerned about our own survival. The pollution we have inflicted is not confined to our surroundings, rivers, trees, and animalsit has also spread socially, politically, and morally. The unchecked progress of industrialization and consequent urbanization and modernization have stabilized our economy but at the cost of our nature. We have converted farms into shopping complexes and industries. Rice fields and orchards have been replaced by residential colonies without considering the impact on our land. Even tourist destinations like Gulmarg and Pahalgam have not been spared. Gulmarg, once world-renowned for its scenic beauty, has been turned into a hub of adventure tourism and concrete structures. It no longer retains the naked, natural environs for which it was once prominent. While we may earn money from these ventures, the crowded gatherings and encroachments are becoming sources of pollution. Modern man, full of fret and fever, seeks respite from turbulent lifewhich he could certainly find in Gulmargbut we have perhaps deprived him of this blessing. Pahalgam, with its gushing Lidder stream and picturesque meadows, was once abundant in forests, shrubs, and pure water. It is dismaying that this place is also losing its charm due to concrete structures and unnecessary amusement launches, which have now become sources of pollution. Ecologists have been warning of the total extinction of rare wild animal species in the Kashmir Himalayas, particularly around Pahalgam, unless pollution is checked. Species at risk include the Hangul, Musk Deer, Brown Bear, Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Ibex. Avian species such as the Bearded Vulture, Golden Eagle, Gurkakav, and Koklas are also in danger. We have also destroyed the environment of our lakes, particularly Dal Lake and Nigeen Lake, which once possessed absolute allure and natural charisma. For Gods sake, let politically motivated individuals act reasonably and safeguard these graceful lakes, restoring their lost charm. Unnecessary tourist infrastructure, coupled with vested political interests, has dangerously disturbed these mesmerizing water bodies. Our riversmost importantly, the Jhelum, which irrigates our fields and provides water for lifehave turned poisonous due to enormous quantities of waste, oils, and chemicals from industries and factories that flow into it. The Jhelum has lost its purity, signaling disease and death. Kashmir was once a cool place where refreshing breezes would blow. Today, we need air purifiers and disinfectants to escape atmospheric pollution. The fragrance and freshness of winter, which existed twenty years ago, have been lost. This change is the result of the devastation of our forestsour green gold. For construction, we plundered and smuggled this wealth for financial gain. We have left our forests naked, and the day is not far when we will lose the natural beauty of our land. We have hastened our own destruction, sacrificing ecological balance for so-called development. All is not lost yet. Much can be salvaged if we restrict our materialistic pursuits. We must abandon our selfishness, set aside narrow interests, and save our landbecause we are its sentinels.

Iran's IRGC says vessels entering 'restricted zone' without coordination to face sanctions
Digital Desk | Tehran, Sep 10 (IANS) Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday that if any vessel enters the estricted zone to be announced by Iran in regional waters without coordination, it will be subject to the country's sanction measures. If a vessel enters this zone without coordination (with Iran), it will be subject to our sanction measures; meaning that if it seeks to use the Strait of Hormuz in the future, it will not be able to do so, and we will also refuse to provide it with port, insurance, and other required services, IRGC Spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. He said the zone's exact coordinates will be announced in the future, adding that it will generally begin around Iran's southeastern port city of Chabahar and will include parts of the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea as well as the routes that can lead to the Strait of Hormuz. He described the Strait of Hormuz as the strait of Iran's power, adding that the country will use that power to respond to the enemy's aggression and force it to stop it, Xinhua news agency reported. Also on Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the US Army's aggressive attack the night before against a number of Iranian oil tankers. Expressing the condemnation in a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said, The US military attack on Iranian commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman is considered to be in continuation of the US government's military aggression, naval blockade and economic war against Iran, and in flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and international law. It called on the UN and the Security Council to take immediate action against the latant violations of international peace and security owing to he US aggressive actions against Iran. The US Central Command said in a Wednesday post on social media platform X that its forces had destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers on Tuesday night in response to the IRGC's targeting of a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days. The IRGC announced in separate statements early Wednesday that its forces had targeted within the preceding hours four US vessels, including two destroyers, and eight oil tankers in regional waters, as well as a US air base in Jordan in retaliatory strikes.
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 9 (IANS) Table toppers FYERS American Gambits added to the misery of Triveni Continental Kings by inflicting yet another defeat on the two-time champions to maintain their advantage over defending champions Alpine APL Pipers at the top of the standings in the Global Chess League (GCL), here in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The Pipers had temporarily taken the top spot after beating CheQ Mumba Masters 11-6 in the opening match of the day. But the Gambits ended the day ahead of the defending champions with a better Game Points score after beating the Continental Kings 8-5 with white pieces. In the days other matches, Ganges Grandmasters registered a 15-3 victory over two-time champions Triveni Continental Kings while Mumba Masters suffered a double heartbreak as they also lost 6-11 against PBG Alaskan Knights. Gambits, Alpine APL Pipers and Ganges Grandmasters have now won four matches but the Gambits have played one round more than their closest challenger. As things stands after day 5, the Gambits have 12 match points and 60 game points from seven matches, second placed Alpine APL Pipers have 58 game points from six matches while Ganges Grandmasters have 55 game points from six matches. In the last match of the day between the Gambits and Continental Kings, Candidates 2026 winner Javokhir Sindarov convincingly defeated Alireza Firouzja on the icon board with all other boards finishing in the draw. Earlier, Pipers were in total control on most boards with white pieces against the Mumba Masters. World no. 1 Magnus Carlsen played a solid game to beat Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in 31 moves while Anish Giri on the second board grabbed the initiative against M Pranesh on the 10th move and never let go of that advantage. Volodar Murzin then assured the Pipers their fourth win in six matches as he forced Bardiya Daneshvar to resign after 52 moves. D Harikas win over Divya Deshmukh was the only silver lining for the Mumba Masters. Ganges Grandmasters also then completed a double over Triveni Continental Kings, this time dominating the match with black pieces. When the match started, it looked like the Kings had prepared well for the white pieces and could continue their revival after a disastrous start to their campaign. But Ganges Grandmasters Polina Shuvalova, who now has five wins from six games, turned the tables on Zhu Jiner to win in 47 moves and Luke Leon Mendonca then cashed in on the error by Pranav V to win the clash on the prodigy board. Stavroula Tsolakidou then put the result beyond doubt by beating former womens world champion Alexandra Kosteniuk in a 63-move mini marathon to put the result beyond doubt. Later in the day, Mumba Masters had the chance to take the top spot by beating PBG Alaskan Knights with white pieces and they looked on course till the dying minutes of the match. But Carissa Yip, who was in a far better position, lost on time against Nino Batsiashvili and Abhimanyu Mishra put behind the heartbreak of Tuesday to beat Bardiya Daneshvar to set up the win and also pick the Player of the Match award.

Ruckus during anti-encroachment drive in Indore, six detained after protest
Digital Desk | Indore, Sep 9 (IANS) A ruckus broke out during an anti-encroachment drive in Indore's South Toda area on Wednesday after some residents opposed the demolition of alleged illegal structures, prompting police to detain six persons. The situation turned tense when a group of youths allegedly pushed Dishesh Agrawal, Additional DCP, while police personnel were attempting to control the crowd. The officer reportedly lost his balance and fell, following which police detained the accused youth along with several others. The incident took place when a large team of the Indore Municipal Corporation reached South Toda, under the Raoji Bazar police station limits, to remove encroachments along a drain and other locations. The civic body deployed more than 100 personnel, three Poclain machines, and six JCBs for the operation. More than 80 police personnel and officers were deployed to maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incident. According to police, some people opposed the demolition drive and gathered at the site. Police attempted to push them back and clear the area to allow the municipal team to continue its action. During the commotion, youths allegedly shoved Agrawal from behind. Police personnel then apprehended him, while several other people were also detained. Six people were detained during the demolition drive. Further action will be taken against them as per the law, Agrawal told IANS. ACP Vijay Singh Chaudhary said the encroachments had been affecting traffic movement and causing inconvenience in the area. The Municipal Corporation carried out the anti-encroachment drive in South Toda. Several encroachments had been made along the drain and at other locations, causing major disruption to traffic and movement. Some people opposed the action, but the police brought the situation under control and detained those creating trouble, Chaudhary told IANS. The Municipal Corporation said around 50 sheds and illegal portions of six houses were removed during the drive. However, the situation was later brought under control soon after the incident, and the demolition operation continued under police security.

Duleep Trophy: Kishan, Mohan assert East Zone's dominance as lead swells to 584 runs
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Skipper Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan hit fluent half-centuries to consolidate East Zone's absolute command over South Zone, as they extended their lead to a massive 584 runs on day four of the Duleep Trophy final at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. Kishan, who brought his match tally to a staggering 350 runs, compiled an explosive 80 off 98 balls, laced with nine fours and three sixes, before missing out on a second century in the match. His departure, alongside Mohans steady 52 off 85 balls, ensured East Zone closed the day in complete control and virtually sealed the title after consecutive wins in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons. Earlier in the morning session, South Zone added 94 runs to their overnight total before being bowled out, leaving East Zone with a colossal 372-run first-innings lead. South Zone skipper Tilak Varma kick-started the day with consecutive boundaries off Mohammed Shami. At the other end, CV Milind provided sturdy resistance, driving Mukesh Kumar through the covers as runs flowed freely against the new ball. However, the introduction of spin broke the resistance, ending the 78-run stand when Milind was dismissed by Mohan for 43, triggering a quick tail-end slide. Tripurana Vijay was run out while attempting a tight single, and Mohammad Siraj was trapped lbw by Mukesh Kumar. In a heartbreaking climax to the South Zones first innings, Varma mistimed a return catch to Md Kounain Quraishi and fell on 99, thus missing out on a well-deserved ninth first-class century by a single run. Despite holding a 372-run advantage, East Zone opted not to enforce the follow-on. The decision initially brought little joy to spectators as young prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was stumped off Vijay for eight, while Abhimanyu Easwaran edged off Siraj to first slip. Unfazed by the early loss of both openers, Kishan and Mohan steadied the innings with a 126-run stand off 170 balls for the third wicket. Post-tea, Kishan went on an aggressive rampage, brought up his fifty, and then punished Vijay by taking 20 runs off an over with two boundaries and two sixes. Kishan eventually fell to Shreyas Gopal while attempting another big hit, but his innings pushed the lead past 500. Mohan was later trapped lbw by Shaikh Rasheed, and Sudip Gharami was run out. Kumar Kushagra (34 not out) and Quraishi (26 not out) safely negotiated the final overs with an unbroken 52-run stand. Brief scores: East Zone 708 & 212/5 in 51 overs (Ishan Kishan 80, Shikhar Mohan 52; MD Nidheesh 1-14, Mohammed Siraj 1-17) lead South Zone 336 (Tilak Varma 99; Mukesh Kumar 3-62) by 584 runs
Meta India Executives Appear Before NCPCR Over Alleged Child Abuse Ads
Child Rights Body Probes Alleged Promotion Of CSEAM Through Facebook And Instagram
Riteish Deshmukh recently recalled an unexpected moment of kindness involving a paparazzo outside a Mumbai restaurant. The actor shared that he had no cash with him when he wanted to buy something worth Rs 100 from a child, and a paparazzo stepped in to help. Riteish explained that he was walking out of the restaurant when he noticed a child selling something for Rs 100. Since he usually relies on digital payments, he did not have cash on him. We were walking out, and there was a child who was selling something for Rs 100. You have become so cashless today I wasnt carrying money. Now, I dont carry money because everything is digital, he said. He initially asked his chauffeur, Sau rupaye chhutta hai kya? (Do you have a change of Rs 100?), but was told there was no cash available. Riteish then asked the child whether he accepted Google Pay, assuming he might have a QR code. However, the child replied, GPay nahin hai mere paas (I dont have GPay). At that point, a paparazzo offered to pay the amount on Riteishs behalf. The actor recalled, And it was so nice of one paparazzo, whose name I didnt know, but now, I know, his name is Sushil Mohite, if Im not wrong, but if Im wrong, then Im very sorry. He said, Main deta hoon (I will give). With the situation becoming chaotic due to traffic and photographers around him, Riteish tried to get Sushils GPay details so he could return the money. However, the paparazzo declined, saying, Nahin, rehne do (No, let it go). Riteish later clicked his picture before leaving. Once inside the car, Riteish decided to use Instagram to find him. So then I just posted on my story saying, I owe him. I need to pay him back. And finally, in fact I got his number, he said. After getting in touch with Sushil, Riteish thanked him and insisted on returning the money. Reflecting on the incident, he said the gesture mattered more than the amount. It was the kindness that the pap showed where he wanted to pay for me. Its always chaotic, getting in and out on the road, and the paps are doing their job. We always think that they are probably wanting our pictures and they are in need. But we dont realise that there are moments when they step up to help you, he said. Genelia also recalled their experiences with paparazzi support, saying, And weve always had that. Always, she said. Riteish summed up the moment with a laugh: People always say that youre paying paps. I was the one who got paid by them.

J&K HC bins discharge order, says secessionist slogans alongside separatist leader attract UAPA
Srinagar, Sep 9: The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh has set aside the discharge of an accused in a UAPA case stating that secessionist sloganeering in a mob in the presence of the head of a banned separatist organisation prima facie falls under the definition of unlawful activity. A division bench headed by acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Kumar set aside the discharge of Mohammad Yousuf Lone in a 2013 UAPA case by the Additional District and Sessions Judge (Designated Special Court under NIA Act) Kupwara. The sloganeering for secession, raised by an accused leading a mob in the company of the head of a proscribed separatist organisation, coupled with incitement of the public and violence against security forces, is capable, on a prima facie appreciation, of falling squarely within this definition, the bench observed in its order. According to the case, a mob headed by Mohammad Yousuf Lone and Late Syed Ali Shah Geelani, chairman of the banned Hurriyat Conference, came out of Jamia Masjid in Kupwara on November 8, 2013, raised anti-national slogans against the Government of India, and pelted stones at police and security forces. The separatist leaders also allegedly instigated the general public against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Union of India, according to the chargesheet. The trial court has recorded, in a single sentence in paragraph 6 of the order impugned, that the facts 'do not fulfil the ingredients of Sections 2(o) of ULA(P) Act' without setting out the reasoning by which the specific statements or conduct attributed to the respondent in the chargesheet were tested against the statutory definition. This amounts to a bare conclusion rather than a reasoned finding, the high court said. It said the material with chargesheet -- including the recorded slogans, the leadership role attributed to the respondent, and the resultant violence -- discloses a strong suspicion sufficient to put the respondent on trial, leaving the question of whether the charges are ultimately proved to be examined at trial and not foreclosed at the threshold. It is trite that an order of discharge must reflect application of judicial mind to the material on record, and that the findings at the charge stage, though summary, cannot be conclusory. However, it is abundantly clear from perusal of the order impugned that the same does not indicate that the specific contents of the chargesheet, the statements of the witnesses to the procession, the site plan, and the material, alleged to link the respondent to the incitement and the resultant violence, were tested against the ingredients of Section 13 read with Section 2(o) of the UAPA before the conclusion of non-applicability was recorded. On this ground, the order impugned is unsustainable and calls for interference, it added. The court said it is neither making any definitive finding on the guilt or innocence of the respondent, nor expressing any opinion on the ultimate merits of the case. However, when specific material is brought on record that, on the face of it, discloses the commission of an offence and the complicity of the respondent, the trial court cannot act as a mute spectator and shut the doors of trial without assigning valid legal reasons, it added. Allowing the criminal appeal filed by the state, the high court directed that the chargesheet be restored and the trial court proceed with the framing of charge against the respondent afresh after considering the material placed on record by the appellant.

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra have joined the latest social media trend that uses artificial intelligence to reimagine celebrities in different eras. Kiara recently shared an AI-generated picture featuring herself and her husband as an 80s Bollywood couple, giving fans a glimpse of how the two might have looked during the decade known for its distinctive fashion and cinematic style. The actress shared the picture on Instagram on Wednesday. The retro-themed image features Sidharth in a classic double-denim outfit paired with dark aviator sunglasses. Kiara, meanwhile, can be seen wearing a vibrant pink dress with puffed sleeves, along with oversized hoop earrings and bangles. The styling gives the couple a distinctly vintage Bollywood appearance. Adding to the mood of the post, Kiara used the romantic track Samjho Na from Sidharth's upcoming film, The Vvaan. The combination of the AI-generated visuals, retro styling and the song quickly grabbed attention from social media users. Fans were quick to react to the couple's transformation. One comment read, What a model of a couple. Another fan wrote, Them in their retro era. A third social media user compared the pair with one of Bollywood's popular on-screen pairings, writing, They look like Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon. Kiara and Sidharth have remained one of Bollywood's much-followed celebrity couples since their relationship became a topic of public interest. The two reportedly grew close while working together on Shershaah in 2021. Although they largely kept their relationship away from the spotlight, their chemistry during the film's promotions led to widespread dating rumours. After years of speculation, the couple got married in an intimate ceremony in Jaisalmer in February 2023. They later celebrated their wedding with family and friends in Delhi and Mumbai. Since then, they have mostly maintained a private approach to their personal lives while occasionally sharing moments with their fans. In 2025, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Saraayah. On the work front, Kiara was last seen in Geetu Mohandas' Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups, which also starred Yash, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Nayanthara and Rukmini Vasanth. Meanwhile, Sidharth is gearing up for the release of The Vvaan. Directed by Arunabh Kumar and Deepak Kumar Mishra, the fantasy thriller also features Tamannaah Bhatia, Shweta Tiwari, Sunil Grover and Maniesh Paul. Presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with TVF and 11.11 Production, the film is scheduled to release on September 25.

'India's mindset changing', Riteshwar Maharaj praises 'Hanuman Ansh' amid Cong criticism
Digital Desk | Prayagraj, Sep 9 (IANS) Sadguru Riteshwar Ji Maharaj, head of Shri Anandam Dham, heaped praise on the film 'Hanuman Ansh', stating that admiration for such films inspired by life of revered spiritual guru Neem Karoli Baba was because of the change in India's cultural mindset over the recent years. He said that while funds he described as anti-national were earlier being used in Bollywood to weaken India's historical and religious heritage, the film industry is now increasingly producing content centred on the country's heroes, religion and culture. Speaking to IANS, Sahguru Riteshwar Maharaj said India's identity is rooted in Sanatan culture and argued that films and web series continue to have a strong influence on society, particularly on younger generations. India's culture is Sanatan culture. Unfortunately, anti-national money was previously being utilised in Hollywood and Bollywood. They were dismantling our culture -- destroying everything from our youth and historical memories to our religious heritage. In recent years, however, Bollywood has begun producing films centred on our heroes, our religion, and our culture. Films continue to influence people; both web series and movies have an impact, he said. Riteshwar Maharaj said the increasing participation of Sanatanis and nationalists in the entertainment sector could play an important role in strengthening cultural values among the younger generation. He also cited 'Hanuman Ansh' as an example of a film that, despite being made on a relatively small budget, has generated substantial earnings. 'Hanuman Ansh' is based on the life of a saint and Lord Hanuman. Despite being a low-budget production, it has also emerged as a source of substantial earnings, he noted. This means that India's mindset has now changed, he added. The spiritual leader further said that India was seeking to reconnect with its Sanatan roots while simultaneously embracing modern technologies and new-age fields. He said the younger generations, including Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha, want the country to combine technological advancement with the Sanatan Vedic tradition. According to him, bringing these apparently different spheres together could help India regain its position as a Vishwaguru. Riteshwar Maharaj said these developments were only early indications of a much larger transformation that could take place in the country. This came as Congress leader Rashid Alvi on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of using religion as a political tool to influence people's minds and secure votes, while also criticising the demolition of a mosque inside the Saharanpur Collectorate campus in Uttar Pradesh. About the spiritual film Hanuman Ansh, written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Alvi alleged that films of this nature were being made as part of a broader attempt to influence people through religious sentiments and use faith for political gains. The film chronicles the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, popularly known as Maharaj Ji. Responding to the criticism, Riteshwar Maharaj said that India's political system has historically been guided by the principles of Dharma and that religious values should remain above political interests. India is the land of Sanatan culture. Politics is born from Dharma (righteousness/religion). If Dharma is the mother, then politics is the daughter. If the seat of Dharma is placed below the political throne, the country's condition would mirror that of Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Afghanistan, he said. Our country has always placed the religious throne above the political throne, with the latter operating under the former's guidance. In such a scenario, everyone lives happily, free from depression, and the nation remains united, Riteshwar Maharaj said. Talking about Alvi, he said, I do not follow his statements; I have only heard about it from you. But one's statements reflect one's mindset. Anyone who carries the spirit of India and Sanatan within them can never oppose truth, Dharma, and love, he said. India's culture should continue to progress in this manner. It is the opposition's role to engage in rhetoric and speak against the government; such things are expected in a democracy, he added. Riteshwar Maharaj also said that the government should distinguish between criticism made merely for political rhetoric and concerns that genuinely involve public interest. If allegations were being raised simply for the sake of criticism, the government should not allow such statements to distract it from its work, he said, adding, however, whenever an issue appeared to involve public interest, the government should put aside ego and be willing to acknowledge the concern with humility and take corrective action, he remarked.
