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

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

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

PM Modi's Strong Message to the World from the SCO Summit in Bishkek
FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS Prime Minister Narendra Modi was recently on a very successful four-day visit to two Central Asian nations, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Besides attending the usual official ceremonies, bilateral meetings and other important engagements in the two countries, PM Modi also attended the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The Summit was also attended by the Russian President, Vladimir Putin and the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, besides the other heads of government that were invited to the Summit. There is no doubt in the fact that the visit of PM Modi and the SCO Summit 2026 attracted the attention of the whole world, and all these developments were duly reported and covered by the global media. The presence of the heads of the governments of China, Russia and India in Bishkek was seen with keen interest by the international media, geopolitical watchers and the Western media and political establishments. PM Modi made a very impactful presence in Tashkent-Uzbekistan during his visit there before coming to Kyrgyzstan. The talks therein were focussed on bilateral cooperation, energy issues, and regional security. The Indian side also discussed the important issue of a possible uranium supply programme in the near future to India from Uzbekistan. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev received PM Modi at the Tashkent international airport and accorded him a befitting welcome on behalf of his government. He also conferred Uzbekistans prestigious honour 'Oliy Darajali Do'stlik' (Order of Friendship) upon PM Modi in recognition of his international stature and huge positive contribution to the global cooperation. This is Modi's 36th international award, which he has received over the last 12 years globally. PM Modi also held very productive delegation-level strategic talks with the Uzbek's side during his two-day stay in Tashkent. Modi also participated in yoga programmes in Tashkent, inter-cultural events, Ramcharitmanas recitation event, interactive programmes with scholars, Indologists, youth and the students at the university and the tree-plantation ceremonies. He also visited the former Prime Minister of India Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial and paid floral tributes to his memory. It was here in Tashkent that the former PM Shastri breathed his last during the Indo-Pak talks in 1966. On reaching Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, from Tashkent, PM Modi received an impressive ceremonial welcome. He held bilateral talks with the Kyrgyzstan delegation headed by their President, Sadyr Zhaparov, to enhance bilateral economic and commercial relationship between the two nations. He also attended the opening ceremony of the World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan alongside visiting global and regional leaders who had come to Bishkek in connection with the SCO Summit on 31st August and 1st September 2026. At the Summit, PM Modi made a strong plea to the world to dismantle the entire ecosystem of terror financing without double standards. He said that in the previous meeting of the SCO, he had outlined three pillars as India's visionfor the SCO, and these included 'security, connectivity and opportunity'. He said, The time has come to move these three pillars beyond vision and translate them into concrete outcomes. The first and foremost requirement for this is peace and security. Terrorism continues to pose a serious challenge to humanity as a whole. In the fight against terrorism, we cannot remain confined to an action-reaction approach. We must dismantle the entire ecosystem of terrorist financing, recruitment, radicalisation, and safe havens. We must speak with one voice and make it clear that there can be no place for double standards on this serious issue. We must send a strong message to countries that use terrorism as an instrument of policy and provide safe haven and support to terrorists that terrorism can never be a strategic asset for anyone. Our shared aspiration for a peaceful and secure Eurasia is also closely linked to peace and stability in Afghanistan. India has been contributing to the development and provision of humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan and will continue to do so. In todays interconnected world, the scope of security has become even broader. The crisis in West Asia has demonstrated that a conflict in one region does not remain confined to that region. Its impact is felt across the world, affecting energy security, maritime trade, and supply chains. The countries of the Global South bear the greatest brunt of such disruptions. Therefore, India has consistently called for all tensions and conflicts to be resolved not on the battlefield, but through dialogue and diplomacy. Drug trafficking is not merely a crime; it is a serious threat to our younger generation and regional security. The Centres being established under the SCO to address challenges such as security threats, organised crime, information security, and narcotics are a positive step. We must make these Centres an effective instrument for practical coordination and timely action. On the sidelines of the Summit, PM Modi met the Russian President Vladimir Putin and urged an immediate and peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. His quote got a lot of attention and appreciation that suggests; 'From endless war to the end of war'. He also met the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to expand trade and address West Asian diplomatic stability. The President of Iran requested Modi to use his extensive resources to bring the Iran and West Asia crisis to a halt. Pezeshkian urged Modi to leverage India's extensive relationships with various international parties to help stop the cycle of violence and support a peaceful dialogue process. He also thanked India for its support and cooperation during the recent conflict and called Modi a man of peace. In a bizarre attempt to showcase his presence at the Summit, the Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharief, who was also attending the SCO Summit, committed his office to post an edited group-photograph of the leaders of the Summit on their social media handle. He did so immediately after PM Modi's office posted the original group photograph of the Summit on social media. However, due to the huge international criticism mixed with sarcasm and embarrassment, the Pakistan PMO was compelled to change the 'edited photograph ', which brought humiliation for Pakistan globally and left behind a diplomatic distaste. Additionally, Sharief, in his address, raked up the issue of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) at the SCO summit unsuccessfully. However, the External Affairs Ministry of India, under the leadership of Dr. S.Jay Shankar, External Affairs Minister, who was also attending the Summit, issued a befitting reply from Bishkek itself and made its stand known to the world on the IWT issue. The statement said that the Hague-based International Tribunal ruling that 'Indias decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty was not legally permissible and that the 1960 pact remains fully in force' was not in any way acceptable to India. India rejected the ruling, saying the tribunal had no jurisdiction to pronounce on its sovereign decisions. India rejected the award and also the interim measures order, reiterating that it does not recognise the Court of Arbitration and has never participated in its proceedings. This so-called court was constituted by the World Bank in patent breach of the terms of the Treaty; and India categorically rejects its so-called award, just as it has firmly rejected all prior pronouncements by this illegally constituted body, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a frontal statement issued from Bishkek. The statement is a rejoinder to all the concerned who try to intervene in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation-state. India walked the talk very emphatically during the whole diplomatic process, pursuing its established policy doctrines, i.e. Terror & Talks won't go together and Water & Blood can't flow together. Indias consistent policy in this regard has stood the test, particularly when it elaborated that as long as Pakistan abets, sponsors and supports terrorism, there can be no real and normal relationship with it. This time, even The New York Times, that keeps on criticising India's policies and PM Modi's leadership, was forced to change the line. It highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's diplomatic strategy as a hedge against shifting U.S. trade policies under President Trump during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Bishkek. The New York Times reported that India is actively building new global partnerships and securing concrete economic and strategic deals to reduce its exposure to unpredictable U.S. trade pressures. The coverage in the paper noted that PM Modi has travelled extensively, visiting around 20 nations since August 2025, to hammer out independent economic ties, such as submarine technology cooperation with Germany and trade adjustments with European and Asian partners. The MOU signed with the European Union sometime back is a big example in this context. PM Modi's presence alongside Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping at the Bishkek summit was framed as part of India's multi-aligned foreign policy, balancing non-Western cooperation while navigating wider global and economic tensions. Energy security, new strategic deals, long term investments, historic engagements, forging cultural ties and opening new vistas for the establishment of peace in the highly volatile conflict regions globally are the most important takeaways of PM Modi's Central Asian tour this time. The whole world now awaits the BRICS summit that is going to take place on September 12 & 13 in New Delhi under India's BRICS 2026 chairship.

Former West Indies: Former West Indies captain Brian Lara has become the latest ex-international skipper to join the chorus voicing support for the imprisoned former Pakistan captain Imran Khan and his treatment. Lara took to social media to voice his support for Imran, calling for proper, independent medical care and dignity every human deserves as he stood with former international captains who have raised the issue of Imran's health in prison. Imran Khan and I only crossed paths on the field a handful of times, but the respect I have for him was instant and lasting, Lara wrote in his Instagram post. I am struggling to understand how someone who was once a beacon of hope, pride and inspiration for his country, at the height of his sporting career, could now find himself in a situation where he is not being cared for and treated with the compassion and dignity he deserves. I stand with my fellow former captains in asking that he receive proper, independent medical care and the dignity every human being deserves. This isn't politics. It's basic humanity for a legend of our game, he added. Lara's statements came days after the likes of Greg Chappell, Pat Cummins, Javed Miandad, Moin Khan and Kapil Dev voiced their concerns over Imran's health and treatment. Earlier, 21 former international captains had signed a petition demanding dignified treatment and proper court-directed medical care for the jailed 1992 World Cup-winning captain. The petition was signed by 21 former international captains, including Sir Alastair Cook, Michael Atherton, Steve Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, and Nasser Hussain, and expressed grave concern over Khan's health, particularly reports regarding significant vision loss in his right eye, after he spent over three years in custody. Imran Khan is 73 years old and has now spent more than three years in custody. Whatever the legal and political arguments surrounding his case, the basic decency of ensuring a court-ordered medical process is actually completed is not, in our view, a controversial request, the letter stated. The petition was signed by 21 former international captains, including Sir Alastair Cook, Michael Atherton, Steve Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, and Nasser Hussain, and expressed grave concern over Khan's health, particularly reports regarding significant vision loss in his right eye, after he spent over three years in custody.

MacRumors Giveaway: Win an iPad Air and Revamped Rock Paper Pencil Kit From Astropad
For this week's giveaway, we've once again teamed up with Astropad to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an M4 iPad Air , an Apple Pencil Pro, and an Astropad Rock Paper Pencil kit to use with it. The $49.99 Rock Paper Pencil is a screen protector and Apple Pencil tip combo that makes writing on your iPad feel like writing on a piece of paper instead of a slippery glass display. It's a more comfortable and natural writing and drawing experience. A non-adhesive paper-textured screen protector attaches to the iPad's display, with a custom tip added to the Apple Pencil. The paper-like feel of the screen comes from a microscopic texture that adds friction to improve control. Astropad this week launched the fourth iteration of Rock Paper Pencil, and it now comes with tips that have a different feel. There's a new graphite tip that's meant to feel like writing with a 2B pencil, which Astropad says is ideal for sketching and shading. It even sounds like writing with a pencil on paper when you use it. There's also a ballpoint tip that feels like using with a smooth gel pen. It's ideal for writing and linework. Two of each kind of tip are included in the kit. When you want to use your iPad for watching videos or playing games, you can take off the screen protector and store it away in a protective sleeve. It attaches to the iPad with Astropad's NanoCling technology, so there's no adhesive to deal with. For those who dislike the unnatural feel of writing or drawing on a glass surface with a plastic Apple Pencil tip, Rock Paper Pencil is worth checking out. Rock Paper Pencil is compatible with all of Apple's M2 , M3, M4, and M5 iPads, as well as many older iPads. We have a Rock Paper Pencil kit, an M4 iPad Air, and an Apple Pencil Pro for one lucky MacRumors reader. To enter to win, use the widget below and enter an email address.

Kajol can own any silhouette: Here are 5 power-dressing looks that prove it
Kajol has been experimenting with her fashion choices, moving between structured tailoring, flowing silhouettes and layered ensembles that bring a distinctive personality to power dressing. Her recent style outings showcase how classic wardrobe staples can be reworked through interesting proportions, unexpected combinations and statement accessories. From sharply cinched blazers to monochrome layers, here are five looks that highlight Kajols evolving approach to power dressing. 1. The Classic White Power Suit View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) Kajol gives the classic white power suit a polished update with a sharply structured blazer that defines her waist. The fitted silhouette creates a sculpted shape, while the clean-cut trousers maintain the formal appeal of the ensemble. The combination keeps the outfit sophisticated without appearing overly elaborate, allowing the tailoring to remain the focus. 2. A Festive Take On Power Dressing View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) Kajol brings together deep green and rich red tones for an ensemble that carries a festive appeal while retaining the structure associated with power dressing. The fitted blazer paired with a long skirt creates an elongated vertical silhouette, giving the outfit a striking finish. The combination of colour, tailoring and feminine proportions gives the look a distinctive edge. 3. Where Grace Meets Structure View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) An ivory ensemble sees Kajol move away from sharply defined tailoring and embrace softer layers. Flowing details and an elongated silhouette introduce movement, while the feminine construction keeps the look elegant. A statement necklace adds contrast to the monochrome palette and becomes a focal point without overpowering the outfit. 4. Monochrome With A Playful Edge View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) Kajol continues her experimentation with tonal dressing in a layered look featuring a trench-coat-inspired silhouette over a tailored vest and trouser co-ord. The monochrome palette keeps the ensemble refined, while the neckline introduces a playful element. The look demonstrates how layering can add personality to otherwise classic tailoring. 5. The Boss-Lady Look With A Twist View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) For her final look, Kajol embraces an all-black ensemble that puts a fresh spin on conventional power dressing. Embellished studs on the blazer and statement accessories add a playful dimension, while the skirt replaces the expected tailored trousers. The unexpected pairing gives the outfit a more distinctive silhouette while retaining its commanding appeal. Kajols recent fashion choices highlight her willingness to experiment with traditional elements of power dressing rather than sticking to a single formula. Whether through structured suits, flowing layers, monochrome styling or unexpected separates, the actor continues to explore silhouettes that balance sophistication with individuality.

Womens Asia Cup: Mandhana Reveals Pre-match Chat With Rodrigues Before Hitting Record Century
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana revealed details of a light-hearted pre-match conversation with injured teammate Jemimah Rodrigues that helped ease her nerves before she smashed a record-breaking century against Hong Kong in the 2026 Womens Asia Cup. At the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Smriti struck a brilliant 124 off 64 balls to power India to a massive 137-run victory over Hong Kong China, which also sealed their spot in the semi-finals. The innings made Smriti the leading century-maker in womens international cricket with 18 hundreds and go past Meg Lanning, while also surpassing Mithali Raj as the all-time leading run-scorer in the women's game. Speaking in a video published by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their social media accounts on Friday, Smriti was shown a supportive message posted by Jemimah on Instagram after she hit her epic century. Oh Jemi! We miss Jemi for sure, unfortunate for her to pick up that injury. I remember I was on a video call yesterday and she actually wished me all the best. She was like, This is going to be an extremely tough match. Knowing me and my batting, she was like, I know it's going to be an extremely tough match, let's see how much runs you get, recalled Smriti. The off-field camaraderie between Smriti and Jemimah, affectionately dubbed the Wrong Sisters by fans, has picked a mainstream cult despite the latter missing the ongoing continental event due to a hamstring injury picked while playing The Hundred in England. She was like, This is going to be an extremely tough match. Knowing me and my batting, she was like, I know it's going to be an extremely tough match, let's see how much runs you get, recalled Smriti.

Salman Khan jokes about sending Tukaram Mundhe to friends Bandra cafe over hygiene: Its done sis
Salman Khan has found a humorous way to remind his friend to keep her newly opened Bandra cafe up to the mark. The actor shared a video of The Tuck Shop at Savios on his Instagram Story and paired his coffee refill request with a cheeky warning about prices, quality and hygiene. Sharing the cafe owners video, Salman wrote, Refill my coffee ya please. Price mat badhana, quality maintain karna. Hygiene maintained or I will send HIM and it's done sis. While Salman did not name the person he was referring to, the reference to HIM appears to point towards Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe. The actors message comes amid increased attention around Mundhes food safety inspections across the state. Why Tukaram Mundhe was mentioned Mundhe has been leading the Maharashtra FDA since May 2026 and has overseen a significant enforcement drive targeting food establishments. Between May 25 and July 31, the FDA inspected 3,137 establishments and suspended the licences of 165 establishments, according to figures shared by the department. The inspections have covered restaurants, hotels, eateries and other food establishments, with authorities acting against violations involving food safety and hygiene. Salmans post also appeared to play on his familiar Its done, bro catchphrase, signing off instead with its done sis. The actors Instagram Story has since drawn attention online, with the unexpected reference to the FDA commissioner adding another layer to what was otherwise a simple request for a coffee refill.

Taapsee Pannu is set to be seen in another physically demanding role with Gandhari, which features several intense action sequences. Adding an international connection to the films action is Brahim Chab, who worked as the fight choreographer on Monkey Man. Chab has been involved in designing and choreographing Taapsees combat sequences for Gandhari. Known for its raw and intense fight sequences, Monkey Man featured hard-hitting hand-to-hand combat. Chabs involvement in Gandhari brings a similar focus on detailed action choreography to Taapsees character. Recently, Chab shared behind-the-scenes videos from his action choreography sessions with Taapsee, offering a glimpse into the preparation that went into the films combat sequences. The footage shows Taapsee training and performing parts of the physically demanding choreography, highlighting the effort involved in bringing the action to screen.
