'Looksmaxxing' influencer Clavicular pleads not guilty in Mass. rape case
[Getty Images] Clavicular, a social media influencer who promotes the looksmaxxing trend of young men maximising their attractiveness, has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges including rape. The 20-year-old, whose real name is Braden Peters, was charged in September with felony rape, drugging an individual for sexual intercourse and procuring alcohol for someone under the age of 21. The charges stem from an incident in 2025 when he is accused of assaulting a 17-year-old girl at his family's Massachusetts home. Peters has denied the allegations and said the encounter was consensual. On Thursday, he was granted $10,000 bail, ordered not to contact or post about his accuser, and to surrender his passport. Clavicular walks a runway at Paris Fashion Week in June 2026 [Getty Images] A woman told police that on 23 May 2025, Peters ordered her an Uber to his family's house in Chatham where they were drinking alcohol while filming a livestream before he allegedly raped her, according to the BBC's US partner, CBS News. The police officer who took the report said he believed she was unable to consent due to her age and the level of intoxication she exhibited in the livestream, CBS reported. Clavicular has more than a million followers on TikTok and Instagram and has garnered media attention for extreme measures he has taken for looksmaxxing. He has admitted to using a hammer on his face and jawline and taking a number of steroids, injections, and other drugs to achieve bodily perfection. He also gives advice on appearing masculine and performs stunts to shock followers. In Florida earlier this year, he was charged after filming himself shooting at what appeared to be a dead alligator. He pleaded no contest to unlawfully discharging a firearm in public. In March, he was arrested on suspicion of battery after authorities suspected him of instigating a fight between two women. Authorities said in July that they did not intend to file charges. After Thursday's hearing, Peters posted a photo of himself in the black suit and black tie he wore to court, while holding his dog which he also brought to court. His next hearing will be on 24 November, when the judge will decide if there is enough evidence for the case to move forward.

Bigg Boss 20 contestant Mahhi Vij has opened up about her decision not to seek or accept alimony or maintenance from her estranged husband Jay Bhanushali. During a conversation with Aasif Khan inside the house, Mahhi said she chose to be financially independent and wanted to secure her daughter Taras future on her own. Mahhis comments came amid an emotional week for the contestants, many of whom have been missing their families. The actress recently found herself in a heated argument with Arishfa Khan after she made remarks about the influencers upbringing. Arishfa has spoken on the show about being raised by a single mother. Mahhi later acknowledged that her comments were wrong and apologised to Arishfa. However, the issue resurfaced during another argument on Wednesday, when Arishfa accused Mahhi of being disrespectful towards her mother and called her cheap. Following the confrontation, Mahhi broke down and spoke about her personal life while talking to Aasif. Mahhi Vij says she did not take alimony or maintenance During the conversation, Mahhi said, Arishfa is such a liar. I want to speak to her as I talk to my daughter Tara, but she is very disrespectful. That day, I felt bad about what I told her. I am a single mother and only I know how I survive every day. She then spoke about her relationship with Jay, and said, Jay pushes me to step out; he says I am at home around Tara all the time, and he also offers to look after Tara. But my life revolves around her, she added. Mahhi went on to claim that she did not take any money as alimony or ask for maintenance. I didnt take a single penny in alimony or even ask for maintenance. Im here on my merit, only so that my daughters life is secured. Its not like Jay doesnt offer to help, but I cannot ask for money from someone. Its his hard-earned money, she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahhi Vinod Vij (@mahhivij) Mahhi recalls judge asking her to reconsider Mahhi further claimed that during their court proceedings, the judge asked her multiple times to reconsider her decision not to seek alimony or maintenance. When I was standing in the court, the judge asked me four times to reconsider not taking alimony or even maintenance. He insisted that I take it. I didnt take it because Jay earned that money after working very hard, she said. Mahhi clarified that her decision did not mean Jay would refuse to support her if she needed it. She said she considers his earnings the result of his own hard work. Not that he will refuse me for anything his entire locker is open for me. But its his efforts, he stood for 16 hours at work and earned that, she added. Mahhi had earlier denied Rs 5 crores alimony reports Mahhis latest comments also revisit rumours that surfaced after she and Jay announced their divorce in January. At the time, reports claimed that Mahhi had demanded Rs 5 crores as alimony. The actress had addressed the reports in a YouTube vlog and urged people not to believe claims about their separation without confirmation from her. She had also asked for privacy for herself and their children. Also Read:Bigg Boss 20: Saqib Saleem, Snehil Mishra extend support to Asif Khan after clash with Qazi Touqeer over heart attack remark

Actor Saqib Saleem and actress Snehil Mishra have extended their support to Bigg Boss 20 contestant Asif Khan following his heated confrontation with fellow housemate Qazi Touqeer over a remark about a heart attack. The altercation began when Qazi jokingly said, Mujhe dil ka daura aa raha hai during a conversation with Mahhi Vij after she called him boring during a nominations task. Asif, who had previously spoken about a health scare, appeared to take the remark personally, leading to an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation. Asif headbutted Qazi during the clash. Amid the backlash surrounding the incident, Saqib Saleem and Snehil Mishra took to social media to express their support for Asif. Saqib Saleem shares a supportive note for Asif Khan Saqib Saleem shared a note on social media, addressing Asif directly and expressing pride in his journey. The actor acknowledged the physical and mental challenges Asif had faced, encouraging him to remain confident despite the controversy. His note read, Asif mere bhai . We know your truth . Keep your head high . You have gone through so much in life physically n mentally to be where you are . Proud of you Snehil Mishra calls for empathy amid the controversy Actress Snehil Mishra also voiced her support for Asif through an Instagram Story. Highlighting the importance of sensitivity when discussing someone's health, she said humour should not come at the expense of another person's struggles. Her note read, You can make people laugh without making someone's health struggles the joke. Entertainment should never come at the cost of empathy.Stay strong Aasif, we're rooting for you!

The disagreement intensified as both contestants exchanged remarks, with Asif telling Qazi that he, too, could suffer a heart attack. The argument eventually turned physical when Asif headbutted Qazi. Also Read:Bigg Boss 20: Gauahar Khan, Aman Gandhi back Qazi Touqeer after Asif Khan headbutts him over heart attack comment
Despite my cooperation, Bikaner House removed all 70 photographs without explanation: Raihan Vadra
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) Artist and photographer Raihan Vadra, son of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, has said that despite his cooperation with Bikaner House, all 70 photographs from his exhibition were ordered to be removed without explanation. The controversy erupted after Raihan alleged that the Bikaner House administration ordered the removal of more than 70 photographs from his solo exhibition, 'No Idea Is Final', shortly before it was scheduled to open. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Raihan Vadra said, I think what happened was wrong. I fully cooperated with Bikaner House. I read its policy on political content and selected my photographs accordingly. We did not put up political slogans, and there were not many photographs of political leaders, he said. He added that initially he was asked to remove some photographs. I told them we would cooperate. I said they could remove four or five photographs if necessary, provided they gave us a reason, he said. However, we were not given any explanation. Instead, they asked us to remove all 70 photographs. I believe this was wrong, Raihan told IANS. He further said that public institutions like Bikaner House have a responsibility to uphold and protect freedom of expression of artists, gallery owners and others. He added that he was told that the photographs were against their policy. The photographs are also on my Instagram page. If you look at them, most feature ordinary people. They are at protests, but they are ordinary people. I also suggested that they should make their policies clearer and clarify who would decide what constitutes political content, he said. Most art is political, and if you dont agree then you should not implement such policies. I wasnt given a specific reason, he added. When asked whether he supported the protestors, he said, Yes, I attended the protest as both a participant and an artist. I support it both as an artist and as an individual. The exhibition, 'No Idea Is Final', was previewed on Wednesday and was scheduled to open on Thursday, running until Sunday. In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Raihan said the Bikaner House management had asked him to remove most of the artworks from the exhibition.

Jharkhand's Shikhar Mohan To Join India A Team From Second Game Of New Zealand Tour
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Jharkhands left-handed batter Shikhar Mohan will link up with the India A side from the second four-day game of their tour of New Zealand. India A will open their three-match four-day series against New Zealand A in Lincoln on October 24. The second game will be played at the Hagley Oval before the tour wraps up in Lincoln on November 7. He will be there with the India A team from the second game onwards. Some changes are expected to be made to the India A team due to a few players being a part of the ODI series against New Zealand. So, for now Shikhar will be there with the India A side from the second game onwards, a source familiar with the development said to IANS on Thursday. KL Rahul and Anshul Kamboj, both part of the India A set-up, have been named for the first three ODIs. Meanwhile, Auqib Nabi and Kumar Kushagra have been picked for the last two games of the five-match series. Shikhars call-up to India A team caps a rapid rise for him since he made his senior debut barely a year ago. Mohan has been in prolific form for Jharkhand in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, hammering 143 against Kerala before following it up with scores of 27 and 127 against Maharashtra in Pune in the second round of the competition. He had also made a strong impression on his Duleep Trophy debut, scoring twin fifties for East Zone in the final against South Zone and playing a vital role in his side's title triumph at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Earlier this month, Shikhar struck 60 in the first innings for Rest of India in their Irani Cup win over Jammu and Kashmir in Srinagar. Born in Ranchi in May 2005, Mohan honed his skills at the Ranchi Cricket Academy and went on to represent Jharkhand at the Under-16, Under-19 and Under-23 levels before making his senior debut at 20, in a Ranji Trophy game against Tamil Nadu in Coimbatore in October last year. He had also made a strong impression on his Duleep Trophy debut, scoring twin fifties for East Zone in the final against South Zone and playing a vital role in his side's title triumph at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Actress Lisa Ray recently attended a Land Rover event organised by Sanghi Land Rover in Indore, where she celebrated the spirit of adventure associated with the iconic Defender SUV. Sharing photographs from the event on social media, the actress spoke about her affinity with the vehicle and how its philosophy of going beyond familiar terrain resonates with her own experiences. The event, themed Go Beyond Ordinary and Embrace the Impossible, brought together the actress and the automotive brand for an association that she described as particularly meaningful. Lisa also highlighted the significance of being in Indore during Navratri, a festival that celebrates the Goddess over nine nights. Sharing her thoughts on the occasion, Lisa wrote, GO BEYOND ORDINARY. Embrace the Impossible. Ive never been particularly interested in taking the conventional route. In life, in my career, or in the choices that have shaped me. Reflecting on the different paths she has taken over the years, she added, From crossing continents and cultures to taking the road less travelled as an actor, surviving cancer, reinventing myself as a writer, entrepreneur and advocate my journey has been anything but linear. And I wouldnt have it any other way. Perhaps thats why I feel such an affinity with the iconic Defender. Built to venture beyond familiar terrain, to navigate the unexpected, and to remind us that the most extraordinary journeys rarely come with a map. Lisas note drew a parallel between the Defenders off-road capabilities and her own experiences of navigating different phases of life and work. The actress has explored multiple professional avenues beyond acting, including writing, entrepreneurship and advocacy, making the events theme an opportunity to reflect on the choices that have shaped her journey. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lisa Ray (@lisaraniray) Elaborating on what the idea of going beyond the ordinary means to her, Lisa wrote, Because going beyond ordinary isnt about chasing the impossible for the sake of it. Its about having the courage to question whats possible in the first place. And sometimes, the greatest adventure is discovering who you become along the way. What a pleasure it was to be in Indore with Sanghi Land Rover (@landrover.sanghi) for Go Beyond Ordinary, celebrating the spirit of Embrace the Impossible. That too during the auspicious time of Navratri: the nine nights celebrating the Goddess. Heres to the roads less travelled, the detours that define us, and a life that refuses to be neatly mapped out. Thank you @landrover.sanghi for a memorable evening. Through her social media post, Lisa connected the events central theme with her personal and professional journey, celebrating the idea of embracing change, exploring unfamiliar paths and remaining open to new experiences.

Vinicius Jr's scoring drought hits 9 games after another blank for Madrid
Vinicius Junior's scoring slump continued in his return to the Real Madrid lineup in the Champions League. The Brazilian forward had an ineffective performance and couldn't find the net in Madrid's 4-1 win over Leipzig at home on Wednesday, reaching nine straight appearances without a goal for the Spanish club. It's actually a very good thing that he's sad because it means he really cares about the team and the fans, teammate Kylian Mbappe said. He needs to stay calm and be proud of who he is, because a great player always has to be proud of who he is, and regain his confidence, because he has the quality. There were some boos at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium when Vinicius made a mistake while trying to make a pass to Jude Bellingham about halfway through the first half. Bellingham immediately applauded, as if asking for the crowd to get behind Vinicius. Parts of the crowd also chanted his name at times. Living every moment, Vinicius posted on Instagram after the match. ...
Students Forum seeks FIR in Delhi over racial abuse viral video; Tripura Police file case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) The Tripura Students Forum Delhi on Thursday submitted a formal complaint to the Delhi Police, seeking registration of an FIR and an urgent investigation into an alleged incident of sexual assault, racial harassment and humiliation of an individual from Tripura, reportedly depicted in a video circulating on social media. The development comes after Union Minister Kiren Rijiju raised the issue on social media. Meanwhile, Tripura Police are registering a case under relevant legal provisions, and further action will be taken in accordance with the law. In its complaint, the Tripura Students Forum Delhi (TSF'D) sought the police's urgent intervention, expressing concern over the alleged treatment of the individual by a social media content creator. On behalf of the Tripura Students Forum Delhi (TSF'D), we submit this formal complaint seeking your urgent intervention into a disturbing video circulating on Instagram that allegedly depicts an individual from Tripura being subjected to sexual assault, harassment and humiliating treatment by a social media content creator, the complaint stated. It added that, if established through an investigation, the allegations would raise serious concerns regarding the individual's dignity, bodily autonomy and safety, as well as the protection of people from the Northeast against racial discrimination and harassment. The Forum also alleged that the video contained racially derogatory expressions, including 'Chinki' and 'Chiness', directed at the individual. Such expressions, when used to demean or humiliate a person on account of their perceived ethnic or regional identity, raise serious concerns about racial prejudice, dignity and equal treatment, the complaint stated. The Forum further expressed concern over the alleged use of derogatory language to refer to Tripura in the video, describing it as an insult not only to the individual concerned but also to the people of the state. According to the complaint, such language has caused anguish among members of the Tripura community and is perceived as an affront to the state's dignity, reputation and prestige. The Forum said the circulation of such content on social media could normalise ridicule and contempt towards the state and its people, particularly when accompanied by the alleged acts of harassment and humiliation. It urged the police to determine the applicable legal provisions after examining the material, recording the affected individual's statement, where appropriate, and conducting a thorough investigation. The complaint listed several requests, including formally registering a complaint and taking appropriate legal action, including filing an FIR if warranted by the facts and applicable law. The Forum also called for an urgent and impartial investigation into the alleged sexual assault, harassment, racial humiliation and other acts depicted or reported in connection with the video. It requested the police to establish the identity and role of the person operating the Instagram account in question, along with those who may have participated in, facilitated or recorded the alleged incident. Additionally, the Forum urged authorities to identify and contact the affected individual through a safe and confidential process, record their statement sensitively, and ensure protection against further intimidation, harassment or unwanted public exposure. The complaint also called for the preservation of electronic evidence, including the original recording, metadata, account details, upload history and other relevant digital records, through lawful procedures and appropriate requests to the social media platform. The Forum further sought preventive measures against any threats or intimidation connected to the incident, along with acknowledgement of the complaint and information about the action taken, subject to legal requirements and the individual's privacy. It expressed confidence that the Delhi Police's Special Police Unit for North-Eastern Region (SPUNER) and other competent units would handle the matter with the urgency and sensitivity it requires. Meanwhile, Delhi Police sources said SPUNER had written to the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit, requesting an investigation into the viral video. The IFSO unit will now examine the video and investigate the matter further.
Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Rakul Preet Singh, Ravie Dubey, producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari and music maestro A R Rahman attended the musical event for their film Ramayana in Chennai. A R Rahman performed to the songs of the film and mesmerized the audience. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor clarified the goof-up he made the day before at a Dussehra event held in Kolkata as part of Ramayana promotions. At this event, Ranbir Kapoor mistakenly said, Burai chahe kitne bhi taaqatwar kyun na ho, aakhir mein anth sacchai aur acchaai ki hi hogi. The video went viral on social media, leading to a lot of trolling. Ranbir Kapoor began by saying, Vanakkam, Chennai! Thank you for this love and energy. We really feel welcomed by all you beautiful people. Ramayana is a story that connects all of us through love, faith and our culture. I have had the privilege of working with the maestro, Mr Rahman, on two of my films (Rockstar and Tamasha). And both have been really special to me. But sir, this opportunity will be remembered forever. Its really an opportunity of a lifetime to collaborate with you on this film. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) He then said, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for an incident that happened yesterday. I was at a Dussehra event and I had a slip of tongue. What I meant to say is Burai chahe kitne bhi taaqatwar kyun na ho, aakhir mein jeet sachhai aur achhai ki hi hogi. So, this reminds me of a collaboration that I had with Rahman sir in Rockstar Jo bhi main kehna chahoon, barbaad karein alfaaz mere! So, I truly apologize for that (smiles). Ramayana releases in cinemas worldwide on November 5. Also Read: Ramayana: Part 1 tax-free in West Bengal: CM confirms exemption for Ranbir Kapoor starrer
Public protests against current regime are democratic, not anarchy, says Shiv Sena(UBT) in 'Samaana'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Thursday condemned Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwats recent remarks expressing concern over global and domestic public agitations. The Thackeray camp in an editorial in the party's mouthpiece, 'Samaana', argued that public movements against the Modi-Shah regime were entirely democratic, and accused the RSS leadership of inadvertently bolstering a rule that has become a crisis for India. The editorial questioned Bhagwats statements made during the Vijayadashami rally, where he claimed that protests can become tools of political selfishness and breed societal division. It pointed out that while Bhagwat criticised agitations globally -- citing unrest in France, Italy, Belgium, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh -- he overlooked the justification of public anger against authoritarian governance. The editorial interpreted Bhagwat's assertion that merely changing regimes does not solve fundamental problems as an implicit admission that the 2014 political transition under Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a wasted effort. The editorial questioned whether the Sangh now regrets altering the political landscape, recalling how the RSS family actively participated in regime shifts historically, such as in 1977. Blaming the RSS-backed dispensation for pushing the country into distress, the editorial highlighted severe national issues over the past 12 years, including soaring inflation, rising unemployment, growing youth depression, commercialisation, corporate favouritism, and handing national wealth to favoured industrialists. In addition, here has been erosion of democratic institutions, the subjugation of the judiciary and the Election Commission, and the undermining of Parliament and incidents related to national security, student protests over paper leaks, and agrarian distress, it said. The Thackeray camp raised fundamental questions about the legitimacy of popular struggles. Would India have gained freedom or republic status if the masses had not joined the independence struggle? Were the agitation for the Ram Mandir or the RSS-inspired Anna Hazare movement considered acts of anarchy? Should the Sangh apologise to the nation for bringing an allegedly ruinous regime to power? it asked. Concluding the sharp commentary, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena asserted that protests are vital in a democracy to check the unbridled power of rulers. It called upon the RSS chief not to lend strength to a governance model that it terms a hreat to India's democratic fabric, emphasising that public movements against oppressive governance are firmly rooted in democratic principles.
Anupam Kher: Been almost two months since I last met my mother
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) Veteran actor Anupam Kher has shared an emotional note about missing his mother, Dulari, revealing that it has been almost two months since they last met. Anupam took to Instagram, where he shared two photographs of his mother and recalled their daily FaceTime conversations on brother Raju Khers phone. Maa se mile lagbhag do mahine ho gaye hain. Roz Raju ke phone par FaceTime par baat hoti hai. Maa smartphone nahi chahti hain. Aaj baat karte-karte bolin, Tu kab aayega? Kitne din ho gaye tujhse mile hue. Tu meri shakal bhool toh nahi gaya? (It has been almost two months since I last met my mother. We talk every day on FaceTime using Rajus phone. Mom doesnt want a smartphone. Today, while we were talking, she said, When are you coming home? Its been so long since I saw you. You havent forgotten what I look like, have you?) Sunkar hansi bhi aayi aur aankhein bhi bhar aayin. Kitni masoom hain Maa! Main unki shakal dekhte hue hi toh unse baat kar raha tha. Lekin phir laga, main samajh raha hoon ki woh kya kehna chahti hain. (I laughed when I heard that, but my eyes welled up too. How innocent she is! I was talking to her while looking at her face on the screen. But then I realised that I understood what she was really trying to say.) Jab tak gale na laga lein, paas baithkar jee bhar ke baatein na kar lein, tab tak Maa ke liye kahaan milna hota hai! Phone par chehra dikh jaata hai, lekin bachche ke ghar aane ka intezaar toh wahin ka wahin rehta hai. Phir bolin, Achha chal, apna khayal rakh. Koi baat nahi koi baat nahi. Unke is koi baat nahi mein bhi kitna kuch tha. (For a mother, a video call can never replace meeting her child. Until she can hug them, sit beside them and talk to her hearts content, it never really feels like a proper reunion. She can see her childs face on the phone, but her longing for them to come home remains just the same. Then she said, Alright, take care of yourself. Its okay its okay. There was so much hidden in those words, Its okay.) Kaise bataun tujhe, Maa, ki teri shakal toh mere dil mein basi hui hai. Aankhein band karta hoon toh tere hazaaron chehre nazar aate hain. Kabhi hanste hue, kabhi daantte hue, kabhi fikr karte hue aur har baar utna hi pyaar karte hue. Teri shakal kaise bhool sakta hoon, Maa? Meri toh poori duniya hi tere aanchal mein hai. #DulariRocks #MomsAreTheBest. (How do I tell you, Mom, that your face is etched in my heart? When I close my eyes, I see a thousand different versions of you. Sometimes laughing, sometimes scolding me, sometimes worrying about me and loving me just as much every single time. How could I ever forget your face, Mom? My entire world rests in the shelter of your embrace. #DulariRocks #MomsAreTheBest.)

Pulwama, Oct 21: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Pulwama, Kuldeep Krishan Sidha today chaired a comprehensive review meeting of the Education Sector at the Meeting Hall of the Administrative Complex, Pulwama, to assess academic performance, learning outcomes, teacher availability, infrastructure, student welfare, inclusive education, nutrition, digital initiatives, implementation of schemes and financial utilisation across the district. Chief Education Officer, Pulwama, provided a detailed presentation before the Chair covering the districts educational profile and various academic and developmental initiatives. The chair was apprised that district Pulwama has 8 educational zones, 681 schools, 6,792 teachers, 38 clusters and 16 PM SHRI schools. The DC said the review should provide a comprehensive assessment of school education, with focus on learning outcomes, school-wise academic performance, teacher availability and accountability, pupil-teacher ratio, infrastructure and basic facilities, student welfare, inclusion, nutrition, school safety, mental and social well-being, community participation, winter preparedness, migration-related issues, ICT utilisation and financial performance. During the meeting, the DC sought an assessment of the reasons for the gaps. He directed all Zonal Education Officers to intensify outreach and enrolment drives, engage parents and communities and prepare zone-wise action plans for increasing enrolment within five days. He further directed that teacher deployment be rationalised on the basis of the Pupil-Teacher Ratio, while avoiding unnecessary transfers, so that available manpower is utilised optimally and schools facing shortages are adequately staffed. Reviewing academic performance, the DC directed the Education Department to undertake school-wise analysis of Board examination results for the last three calendar years, identify low-performing schools and ascertain the reasons for underperformance. He called for targeted academic interventions and stressed the need to work towards 100 percent pass percentage, while preparing students for higher education, competitive examinations and global competition. The assessment data presented during the meeting showed encouraging performance of Pulwama in several learning indicators. Under PRS 2024, Grade 3 students recorded 67 percent in Language and 64 percent in Mathematics against J&K averages of 57 percent and 54 percent respectively. Grade 6 performance was at the national average in the reported subjects, while Grade 9 remained above the J&K average across the reported subjects. The DC directed the department to consolidate these gains and address identified learning gaps. Every teacher and Principal must remain focused on every student. No students academic year should be wasted and identified learning deficiencies must be addressed in time, the DC said. In view of the winter period and Board examinations, the DC directed ZEOs to identify students of Classes 10th and 12th requiring additional academic support and formulate 40-day capsule courses. Teachers willing to provide voluntary coaching, particularly to poor and needy students, should be identified, while suitable centres with heating facilities should also be mapped. The requisite action plan was directed to be submitted within five days. The CEO was also directed to ensure appropriate academic support and accommodation for students from far-flung areas wherever required. Students preparing for competitive examinations, scholarship examinations and interviews should be mapped so that the District Administration can facilitate them wherever necessary. The meeting reviewed implementation of the Holistic Progress Card (HPC) as a comprehensive mechanism for assessing students beyond conventional marks. The DC directed the Education Department to provide necessary teacher training and proposed a three-to-five-day HPC capacity-building programme after the annual examinations, covering teachers up to Class 12. Anganwadi workers should also be suitably included to strengthen the transition from early childhood education to formal schooling. The DC directed early identification and mapping of children requiring specialised support and called for coordination between education and health functionaries. The CEO was asked to assess requirements for wheelchairs, accessibility facilities and suitable support centres for children with special needs. On inclusive education, the meeting was informed that eight capacity-building programmes had covered around 600 teachers, masters and Heads of Institutions, with focus on SEDGs, transgender learners and innovative inclusive teaching methodologies. The DC directed comprehensive mapping of Children with Special Needs (CWSN), including special abilities, existing facilities and gaps in support, and stressed a sensitive, child-centred approach. He also sought a report within five days on eligibility criteria and implementation of scholarships/allowances for deserving students. Reviewing digital initiatives, the meeting was informed that under Vidya Samiksha Kendra, 557 schools had marked Smart Attendance, Shikshak Sahayak usage stood at 53.74 percent, DigiLearn usage at 13.83 percent, Study Buddy had more than 80 per cent student enrolment, and MIS reports had been submitted by 342 of 681 schools. The DC directed improved utilisation of ICT and smart-class facilities and asked the Education Department to include sessions on Artificial Intelligence, cyber security, online safety and responsible digital use in its awareness calendar. The DC directed the Education Department to identify children of school-going age who are engaged in labour or are otherwise out of school and ensure their enrolment, stressing that no child should be left behind. Anganwadi and field-level functionaries were also asked to identify vulnerable children and facilitate timely intervention. The role of Aayas/helpers was reviewed, with the meeting informed that 300 Aayas had been trained through three venues covering all eight educational zones. The DC directed that their capacity building be strengthened, particularly in mental hygiene, child safety, good touch and bad touch and basic child protection. The functioning of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas and girls hostels was also reviewed. The DC directed assessment of gaps and an action plan for improvement, besides ensuring essential facilities including washrooms for specially-abled children and playgrounds. Reviewing PM POSHAN, the DC stressed quality, hygiene and nutritional value of meals. He directed consultation with qualified nutritionists for age-appropriate diet charts and called for strict monitoring of procurement, food preparation, storage and serving practices. The DC also directed timely provision of scholarships, uniforms and other student entitlements, while cases requiring assistance beyond existing schemes should be brought to the notice of the District Administration for appropriate facilitation. The financial position of education programmes was reviewed, with the presentation recording SAMAGRA funds received at approximately Rs 1.48 crore, with expenditure of approximately Rs 51.20 lakh. The DC directed 100 percent utilisation of available funds as per approved norms, with zone-wise monitoring and priority to interventions directly benefiting students and learning outcomes. The proposed 2026-27 DIET capacity-building programme was also reviewed, comprising 17 SAMAGRA programmes for 2,380 participants with an outlay of Rs 39.70 lakh, besides three UT Budget programmes covering 150 participants at an outlay of Rs 2 lakh. During the infrastructure and development review, the DC directed the CPO, ACD, ZEOs and concerned Executive Engineers to work in coordination to resolve land-related issues and other bottlenecks affecting school projects. He directed field assessment of washrooms, heating arrangements, accessibility and other basic facilities and asked engineers to prioritise genuine infrastructure requirements. The DC also called for greater environmental responsibility in school development works and suggested linking tree plantation targets proportionately with expenditure on school construction, subject to site feasibility and applicable norms. The meeting was informed that DIET Pulwama has established a monitoring mechanism with four teams covering all eight educational zones, undertaking classroom observations, learner assessments, teacher mentoring, document verification and school-improvement monitoring. Ten low-performing schools had received focused mentoring and remedial support. The DC directed that field monitoring be strengthened and translated into measurable academic improvement. Concluding the meeting, the Deputy Commissioner called upon the CEO, ZEOs, Principals, Heads of Institutions and teachers to assume full ownership and accountability for the Education Sector and work as a coordinated team. He stressed that the focus must remain on improving enrolment and learning outcomes while ensuring adequate teachers, safe and inclusive schools, quality nutrition, effective use of technology, timely implementation of schemes and proper utilisation of public funds. He directed the officers to remain connected with the field, identify gaps promptly and ensure that every child in the district receives safe, inclusive and quality education. The meeting was attended by ADDC Pulwama, Gulzar Ahmad Bhat, CPO Pulwama, Aashiq Khanday, CEO Pulwama, Principal DIET Pampore, concerned Executive Engineers, all ZEOs and other concerned officers and officials.

Gluten-free Food And No 'kyon Drop Ho Gaye' - Inside Bhuvneshwars Quiet Road Back To T20I Team
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: When Bhuvneshwar Kumar trudged off the field in Napier on November 22, 2022, little did anyone know that it would be his last T20I for India for nearly four years. Three captaincy changes and at least two selection committee overhauls later, his India career appeared consigned to the past tense. On October 17, it was revived where it began. Arshdeep Singh took a blow to the shoulder in Hyderabad, and Bhuvneshwar was drafted into the squad for the fifth T20I against the West Indies in Bengaluru. When Shreyas Iyer took his name while revealing the changes to the playing eleven, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium erupted. Bhuvneshwar made his T20I debut at the same venue against Pakistan in December 2012 and wowed everyone with his swing. It is now his IPL home via Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Though the heavens intervened to abandon the game, that game will also be remembered for Bhuvneshwars first sight in Indian colours after 2022. His selection for the five-match T20I series in New Zealand, which begins in Christchurch on Thursday, had come earlier. When that news reached Dr. Ramneesh Vohra, his physiotherapist since 2020 and who was in the middle of an appointment at his clinic in Noida, happiness was writ large on his face. When I got the news, I immediately called sir and congratulated him and he picked up the call and we then discussed about the journey and talked that 'aaj tak humne jitna kaam kiya, woh badiya nikla' (whatever work we have done till now has turned out very well), Vohra recalled in a free-wheeling chat with IANS. Then all the emotions came out of happiness while talking, and there's no doubt about it. Although we were not expecting this thing to happen, I mean, we were not working together for this day particularly. But when something like this happens as a reward, emotions come up, right?' he added. Vohra later joined him at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, where Bhuvneshwar was preparing for New Zealand, and stayed until he was summoned to the fifth T20I squad. Bhuvneshwar was the fulcrum of RCB's back-to-back IPL titles in 2025 and 2026, including picking 28 wickets in 16 matches this year. Yet Vohra insists a return to the Indian team was never the target. In the past few years, he never targeted himself with, ' No, I have to go back to the team and really work hard.' He used to always say that I have to do my work and the selectors are doing their work, and I'm not going to do anything out of the box. He would say, 'No, I just love cricket. I have a passion for this game and I just really want to give 100 percent whenever I hit the ground.' He always played with this mindset in every tournament and any format. Whenever he got the opportunity to play, he never said no to anything. He always said that as long as I'm there, I have to give my 100 percent and I'll go and play whatever game is on the ground, he said. Bhuvneshwars partnership with Vohra was forged in mid-2020, after the first Covid-19 lockdown. Bhuvneshwar was then an India regular, and the brief for him to Vohra was refinement, not repair. He just wanted to be a good version of himself, always. He would ask, Can I make myself into the same fitness regime? Is it possible for me, for you, or for us to maintain my mobility, flexibility, and work on my biomechanics if possible? Can we just improve a bit more towards my structure? So, we started like that only. There was no injury, nothing like that. Serendipity did the rest. Vohra, then attached to BCCI domestic sides, was introduced to him by then Railways captain Karan Sharma and Harsh Tyagi, who trained with Bhuvneshwar at Wonders Cricket Club in Noida's Sector 34. Their endorsement sufficed and Bhuvneshwar enlisted his services and began from scratch. Vohra says the two never once relitigated why Bhuvneshwar had been dropped from the Indian team after that game in Napier. Because he's a very down-to-earth person, he is the kind of person who never thinks about whatever happened in the past. We never had a discussion about what went wrong or kyon drop ho gaye (why I got dropped). He just said, I have to prepare for what comes next. Suppose the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy or DY Patil T20 tournament was to come and he would commence preparing for it. If Vijay Hazare Trophy, Ranji Trophy or IPL was on the calendar, then he would start preparing for it at the earliest. So, the discussion was always about what's next, and how to be great in those competitions. There was never a discussion about what happened or went wrong in the past. Nothing like that happened because, see, like he's been saying from the start that selection or not is not in my hands, but performing is in our hands, so as keeping my body fit. His words have always been, 'I'll do whatever is in my area and hands, I'll work on that, and I will not think about whatever is happening afterwards.' What will I get or won't I get, I don't think much as I just have to work - that too with full honesty, Vohra said. The groundwork was meticulous: a biomechanical and musculoskeletal screening modelled on the CoE protocols, plus body-composition, fitness and nutrition tests. Strength and conditioning coach Surya Yadav assumed charge of training, and nutritionist Shah Fahad oversaw the dietary tests. Yadav, currently with the Uttar Pradesh Under-23 men's team, was unavailable for a comment. Everything we did, whatever screening was there, whatever tests were there, it was all evidence-based. It didn't mean that we were doing it randomly. Everything was very much sure that we would do this, and whatever we get in that, we will work on that. Nothing was like hit and error. Everything was evidence-based and dependent upon whatever we do. It will be all study-based and all that will be there, and the results that we have already got on those things. When we see the results, we will work on that. Until and unless, if it doesn't work, until and unless we don't get that improvement, or didn't get that achievement, then we can think about anything else. So, our fill-in-the-blanks kept happening, blocks kept coming into place, and we got to what we wanted. Not once, Vohra says, did Bhuvneshwar second-guess the regime. He was so consistent right from the beginning, so honest and trustful that he never said, Why am I getting this, or why am I not getting this. When I go out, I have to be 100 percent in my body so that I can deliver balls with 100 percent of my efficiency. That was his aim. An archive of old footage helps flag the subtlest shifts in his action, and each specialist guards his own lane. All the qualities were there because we have worked on it for the last 6 years. Wherever we have taken the old videos, we have worked on them. In the old videos, it used to come like this. Now, if there are any changes, then how will we go back? How will we work on it? How will we do it? How will I do it? I never interrupted Surya sir's work. Surya sir never interrupted my work. We both had a very clear vision that I will look at these things, you will look at these things, and Bhuvi sir, you will look at these things. We had divided our departments so that there was no confusion in between, and it's always teamwork. Diet proved to be a potent force in keeping Bhuvneshwar in fine fettle. Tests flagged the bloating endemic among cricketers and traced it to gluten and lactose. Gluten was jettisoned, lactose and sugar scaled back, to banish the stiffness and soreness he had been carrying into matches. We made minor, minor changes and got major, major results. That was a great thing that happened. Plus, we never missed out on any mobility session, any flexibility session, any mobilisation session, any strength and conditioning session, any weight training session, and his body has transformed. Leaner, though, is not lighter. He still weighs around 73-74 kg, but his body-fat percentage has fallen while muscle quality and hydration have improved. Vohra credits that sculpted frame, and painstaking rehab of the injuries that punctuated his earlier career, for keeping him injury-free since. Sweets are off the menu, and ensuring daily protein intake is there via bars, shakes and chillas, with eggs taken only if needed. Fahad also arranged a genetic test to map Bhuvneshwar's nutritional needs, and masseur Kesar Ali rounds off an inner circle that has remained unbroken since 2020. The best part is Bhuvi sir never changed his team right from the beginning since we met after the Covid-19 first lockdown. I don't know what happened before Covid-19, but after Covid-19, the best part is he trusted me a lot right from the beginning, and he never told me that no, I want to change this, or that. He said, Whatever you want me to do, I will be able to do it, and I will also get the results. The dividend, Vohra says, shows in how swiftly Bhuvneshwar bounces back. Actually, so you can see the results, and after the game, he never felt like, ' No, I am exhausted, I am tired, now I don't want to play for the next part of the game. He is always ready. He never said no to even the games on consecutive days. He always said, If you want to play, then play, and whenever you want to play, play with your 100 percent effort. There is no compromise with cricket. He is very introverted and not a party person. He is one of those rare and sweetest and very kindest cricketers I have ever met. That reticence, Vohra adds, is often mistaken for a lack of graft. Few cricketers, in his view, are as dedicated as Bhuvneshwar - he carves out time for every facet of his game, from bowling and batting to fielding and rehab, and does all of it away from the social media limelight. Because we live in the same society, so we meet. Even if there is a hello, there is no problem. Even if there is a small issue, we meet. He treats me like family, so obviously, vice versa, reciprocally. He never behaves like, I am a superstar and you are my physiotherapist. He always says that you all are my family and always speaks like that. Whenever we have a conversation, whenever we talk, he never makes me feel that what is my level and what is your level. He says, 'main aap hi ke level ka hoon' (I am of your level). I am one of you. He calls us 'bhai' (brother), and whatever word occurs in his mind, it feels very special. We feel that maybe we are talking to someone, but he's still the same person, and he is like this with everyone. So, this is the best quality about him. Vohra's clinic, Muscle Stretch, marked his return to the playing eleven in Bengaluru on Instagram by promising 20 per cent off on consultations for every wicket Bhuvneshwar took, and a shot at a free consultation and physio session should he bag a five-for. It wont be a surprise if the same offer is run for the T20Is in New Zealand, starting on Thursday. Whenever we have a conversation, whenever we talk, he never makes me feel that what is my level and what is your level. He says, 'main aap hi ke level ka hoon' (I am of your level). I am one of you. He calls us 'bhai' (brother), and whatever word occurs in his mind, it feels very special. We feel that maybe we are talking to someone, but he's still the same person, and he is like this with everyone. So, this is the best quality about him.
