Talat Aziz gripped with sheer joy and shock as his harmonium plays perfectly fine after scary inferno

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Veteran ghazal singer Talat Aziz has managed to salvage his harmonium after a horrifying inferno gutted his house in the Juhu area of Mumbai. On Wednesday, the singer took to his Instagram, and shared a video of himself playing his harmonium. While the instrument sounded perfect with every note, his fingers could be seen covered in the ashes from the fire. He also penned a long note in the caption, as he wrote, Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, my harmonium came alive again. After the devastating fire at our home, I checked on a very special harmonium of mine, a 13-scale instrument that I had specially commissioned with premium-quality reeds and used extensively for my online music classes. When I first examined it after the fire, it wouldnt play at all. I sent a photograph to a harmonium maker and repairer, who took one look and told me it was beyond repair and should be disposed of. But something extraordinary happened yesterday. He further mentioned, While I was at my residence, I decided to take it out once again. The fire had certainly touched it, and initially there was no sound. But as I gently began playing, it suddenly came alive. I cannot describe the joy and pleasant shock I experienced at that moment. It was almost as though the harmonium had risen like a phoenix from the ashes, refusing to surrender to the devastation around it. And it reminded me of something profound, never give up hope. Music has a soul, and if Allah Wills, it can survive even the fiercest of fires. Yes, there is some superficial damage on the outside, but the reeds are intact and the heart is still strong. Perhaps there is a message in this for all of us. Life may leave its scars, but what is strong within us can still find its voice again. I bow my head in gratitude to Allah, the Almighty, for this little miracle and for reminding me once again that hope and faith must never be abandoned. Alhamdulillah, he added. The fire broke out at the singers residence on October 2, 2026. The blaze reportedly started near an air-conditioner on the ground floor and rapidly spread, filling the duplex apartment with thick smoke. Talat Aziz, his wife Bina, their two sons and trainer Sikandar Singh were affected. Bina was trapped upstairs and rescued through a bathroom window with the help of a ladder. Five people were hospitalised for suffocation but were subsequently discharged. The fire destroyed valuable belongings, including Azizs harmoniums and Binas paintings.

Stuntwoman Geeta Tandon accuses India Ke Top 1% team of mistreatment; says she waited nearly 9 hours with son

Bollywood stuntwoman and stunt director Geeta Tandon has called out the production team of India Ke Top 1% over what she described as a deeply disappointing experience on the sets of the Star Plus reality show. In a detailed social media post, Tandon alleged that she and her son were made to wait for nearly nine hours despite being invited to appear on the show as guests. She also addressed host Anil Kapoor, Farah Khan and the show's production company, Banijay Asia, raising concerns about the way they were allegedly treated. Hosted by Anil Kapoor, India Ke Top 1% is a game show featuring around 100 participants competing for prize money of up to Rs. 1 crore. The show airs on Star Plus and also streams on JioHotstar. Tandon said she had agreed to appear on the programme without any payment, believing it would offer her some visibility. However, she alleged that the experience left her feeling disrespected. Opening her post, she wrote, 20 years in this industry. And yesterday, I was reminded how little respect people working behind the scenes are sometimes given. Explaining how she came to be on the sets, Tandon said, My name is Geeta Tandon. I have worked in the film and television industry for over two decades, as a body double for some of the biggest actresses in the country and as a stunt director. I have dedicated years of my life to this profession, often working behind the camera, and I have always taken immense pride in what I do. Yesterday, I was invited to appear as a guest on the show India Ke Top 1%, to interact with Anil Kapoor, along with my son. According to Tandon, the production team had repeatedly followed up with her for the appearance. She claimed that she gave up a day's work and even called her son back from Goa specifically for the shoot. Recalling the events of the day, she said she reached the set at 12:30 PM and was informed that her segment would be filmed within a few hours. However, the wait allegedly continued through the day, with little communication from the team. She further alleged that she and her son were made to sit in a tent without proper updates or clarity about when they would be called. Tandon said that when she eventually confronted the production team, she was met with another response that she found unacceptable. Recalling the exchange, she wrote, The production manager, Jaydeep, responded, If they want to leave, let them leave. But they can't leave without signing. Signing what? And why should anyone be made to feel that they cannot leave after being kept waiting all day? Tandon claimed that she and her son eventually left the set at 9:15 PM, after spending nearly nine hours there. Emphasising that the appearance was unpaid, she said the least she expected was basic courtesy and respect for their time. Addressing Banijay Asia, Anil Kapoor and Farah Khan, she clarified that she did not know how much they were aware of the alleged incident and was not suggesting that they had personally instructed anyone to treat them that way. However, she wanted them to know about the experience of guests invited to the show. Concluding her post, Tandon highlighted the larger issue of how professionals working behind the scenes are treated in the entertainment industry. She wrote, The person standing behind the camera deserves the same dignity as the person standing in front of it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Geeta Tandon (@geetastunt) She also dedicated her post to stunt professionals, junior artists, body doubles, technicians, background performers and other guests, reiterating that respect should not depend on someone's celebrity status. At the time of writing, the allegations shared by Geeta Tandon had not been accompanied by a response from the show's production team, Banijay Asia, Anil Kapoor or Farah Khan.

Sooraj Barjatya brings monsoon romance with Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari in Saawan Aaya Hai from Yeh Prem Mol Liya

Sooraj R. Barjatya is set to revisit the familiar charm of monsoon romance with Saawan Aaya Hai, a romantic track featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari from his upcoming film Yeh Prem Mol Liya. Known for bringing music and romance together in his films, the filmmaker has often used melodies and seasonal settings to capture emotions on screen. From Yeh Mausam Ka Jaadu Hai Mitwa in Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! to the rain sequence in Mhare Hiwda Mein Naache Mor from Hum Saath Saath Hain, his films have featured songs that remain associated with their romantic storytelling. With Saawan Aaya Hai, Barjatya returns to a similar musical space, using the monsoon as the backdrop for a romantic sequence featuring Ayushmann and Sharvari. The song also sets the mood for Diwali week, with the preparations and cleaning for the festival bringing the family together. Against this setting, the track captures the two actors sharing moments in the rain, exchanging glances and recreating the charm of old-school Bollywood romance. Rather than relying on elaborate expressions, the song allows the music and the moments shared by the lead pair to convey the emotions. Composed by Himesh Reshammiya, Saawan Aaya Hai has been sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Keshav Anand, with lyrics penned by Mayur Puri. The collaboration brings together Shreya's vocals and Himesh's composition for a melody rooted in the familiar style of Hindi film romance. Music has remained an important part of Barjatya's storytelling, with several songs from his films continuing to find listeners across generations. The new track adds to that musical approach in his upcoming film. Three decades after making his debut as a filmmaker with a major Bollywood success, Barjatya returns to a familiar romantic setting with Ayushmann and Sharvari taking on the roles of Prem and his leading lady. The song also features the film's ensemble cast, which includes Anupam Kher, Supriya Pathak, Seema Pahwa, Saumya Tandon, Swanand Kirkire, Shaad Randhawa, Shruti Seth, Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Krish Rao and Ashnoor Kuckreja.

M. Night Shyamalan says he is 'not giving myself a good grade' over writing progress

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has opened up about struggling with the outline of his upcoming film, saying that research calls, video meetings and a visit to Los Angeles have pulled him away from the creative process of writing. In a candid video update shared on Instagram, the filmmaker said he had been filling his notebook with disparate ideas and was finding it difficult to shape them into a cohesive outline. In the video, Shyamalan said: It's November 3rd, 2026. It's been about two weeks, I think, since the last time we talked. I've been outlining and writing in the journal. This has been, I was gonna say, a little bit of a hot mess, to be honest, but I'm trying to understand why I'm struggling so much. I think I've filled, I'm filling this notebook and I think to some extent it's becoming rantings of disparate ideas. I've done a bunch of calls to individuals that have experience with the areas and places that I'm making this new movie about, he added. So I did a lot of research calls and Zooms, and they were very helpful, but they started to, they're starting to pull me; everything is pulling me away from it just being an expression of something in me, not giving myself a good grade at all for these two-week period. I went to LA, showed my new bosses Remain, which was a wonderful experience. The filmmaker said that everything was lovely, but I wasn't writing and we can lie to ourselves a lot about why we're not writing, but you're not writing and that's all that matters. He added: At the end of the day, all of this, this house, everything, every piece of clothing I own came from me writing and I just need to get back to that. Rather than a grade, I would give myself, you know, did not attend school. That's probably what I would give it. Taking to the caption section, he said: It's been about two weeks since my last update, and I've been struggling with the outline of my new movie after @remainmovie. I've been filling this notebook with ideas and doing research calls, but I've been feeling lost. I almost gave up on the outline altogether but this morning I committed to outlining through the end of the year, then starting the screenplay after Christmas.

Noida food department destroys 400 kg contaminated rasgullas, seizes 450 kg boondi ahead of Diwali

Digital Desk | Noida, Nov 4 (IANS) The Food Department has intensified its crackdown on food adulteration ahead of Diwali, conducting raids at several sweet shops in Noida and Greater Noida and destroying 400 kg of contaminated rasgullas. During the inspections, food safety officers collected samples of seven food items from various sweet shops. According to the Food Department, around 400 kg of rasgullas, found infested with flies and contaminated, were destroyed, while 450 kg of boondi was seized after it was found unfit for human consumption. During the operation, officials also discovered sweets being prepared and stored in extremely unhygienic conditions at a sweet shop in Sector 62, Rasulpur, Nawada. Following the inspection, the department initiated action to suspend the shop's licence. Its business operations have also been suspended until the necessary improvements are made. On the instructions of the District Magistrate, the Food Department's special campaign will continue until Diwali. Officials have warned shopkeepers against selling adulterated sweets and directed them to pay special attention to the quality and hygiene of food products. Strict action will be taken against those found violating food safety standards. The crackdown comes amid intensified inspections by food safety authorities across several states ahead of the festival. On November 3, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited the Mori Gate Khoya Market, where the Food Safety Department seized and destroyed around 7,000 kg of unhygienic and foul-smelling khoya during a crackdown on food adulteration. During the inspection, Gupta directed officials to ensure that suspected food products did not enter the market supply chain. On the same day, Haryana's food safety authorities destroyed around 50,000 kg of adulterated sweets and fake paneer during a statewide campaign. Meanwhile, 170 food samples failed laboratory tests, including 30 that were declared unsafe for human consumption. State Health Minister Arti Singh Rao said the government would not compromise on public health. In Uttar Pradesh, the Food Department also raided Gopaldoot Dairy near the Jyoti intersection on Agra Road in Mainpuri and seized approximately 90 kg of suspected adulterated desi ghee. The raid followed a tip-off about the alleged production and sale of fake ghee. Food adulteration cases often rise during major festivals such as Diwali and Navratri, when demand for sweets, dairy products and other festive food items increases significantly.

Gul Panag begins new fitness journey: A little experiment in midlife muscle

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 4 (IANS) Actress Gul Panag, who has been training for over three decades, has decided to bring a more structured approach to her fitness journey as she approaches her 48th birthday. The actress, who has largely managed her workouts independently, took to Instagram and said she now wants expert guidance on training, nutrition, recovery and accountability to explore the full potential of her body. Sharing a string of images of her well-maintained, strong body, the actress wrote: Ive been training for over three decades. Mostly on my own. And I think it shows. A little. Not in the way you might imagine. Of course, Ive managed to stay fit, strong and reasonably disciplined. But Ive often wondered whether Ive ever really discovered the full extent of what my body is capable of. The actress says its because theres a difference between being fit and being as fit as you could be. And perhaps theres a point at which doing everything yourself stops being a virtue and starts becoming a limitation. Over the years, Ive had some wonderful guidance along the way. @poojamakhija helped me understand nutrition better, first back in 2007, and then again a couple of years later as I navigated the changes in my body through my thirties. She added: Then my very dear friend @bodyfit_deepavaswani helped me rethink and rebuild my strength-training regimen in my mid-forties. More recently, my friend @sharmashalvi , whos also a nutritionist, has been a source of guidance. Gul said that she has never really committed to having someone oversee the entire process. Training, nutrition, recovery, stretching, progression. And, most importantly, accountability. Ive had the discipline. Perhaps what Ive been missing is the direction. And some tweaking. So, as I approach my next birthday, Ive decided to find out what happens when I introduce something Ive largely managed without all these years.A trainer. The actress said: Enter @shuru_100 . Gudance, regular check-ins, a more structured approach to training and nutrition, and someone who is actually going to hold me accountable. Twice a day, apparently. Gul said that she is not starting from scratch. Im not chasing some dramatic transformation. And Im certainly not suggesting that what Ive done all these years hasnt worked. Im simply curious about how much further I can go. And whether a little expert guidance might help me discover what Ive been leaving on the table. So here we are. A little experiment in midlife muscle. And some very public accountability. After three decades of largely being my own boss in the gym, Ive finally decided to let someone else tell me what to do. Lets see how that goes.

Flop political agenda of Congress leads to one more flop show at Ramlila Maidan, Delhi

FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS On 1st November 2026-the past Sunday, we witnessed one more flop show at Ramlila Maidan, Delhi organised by the Congress party and attended by most of the opposition parties. It was earlier claimed that ten lakh people would be attending the rally. However, even 10% of the big claim didnt participate in the event. All estimates confirm that the total number of the people attending the rally at its peak time didnt touch even 50,000 mark, which is the normal capacity of the ground. People didn't show their interest in the rally in any significant manner. All opposition parties numbering 20 or more which took part in the rally brought their cadres to the rally. Then there were a number of habitual agitators and activists also seen in the rally. Leaders of regional parties who have lost their ground in their respective regions spoke at the rally. The attendance of people in the rally, the lack of enthusiasm among them about the issues of the rally and the future agenda sent a clear message across, i.e. that there was a complete disconnect of the leaders with the people on the issues for which the rally was called with extreme fanfare. Congress and the other newly formed platforms tried to create political pressure upon the government in regard to the resignation of the CEC Gyanesh Kumar earlier also well before this rally. However, those pressure tactics didnt work and faded away with the passage of time. The organisers of these protests have clearly mentioned that their actual target was Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and the Home Minister, Amit Shah whom they wanted in all circumstances to go. The accusations against SIR and resignation of Gaynesh Kumar were basically a camouflage to advance their original motives to dethrone the duly elected government. The frustration of the Congress led opposition has reached a level of no-return. They are pursuing an agenda that has no logic and legal standing. Their main thrust has remained on the so-called vote-theft issue which they are unable to substantiate in any way. They have failed to do so at the levels of CEC's office, judiciary, Parliament and also in the court of the public where they keep on losing elections after elections. The recently held elections for MLC seats in a number of states in which NDA-BJP won 16/28 seats, besides two elected MLCs joining the BJP after the results, is a classic example. In these elections, the Congress party was able to win only one seat through second preferential votes. The way the things are being manipulated, exaggerated and spoken by the opposition and particularly the principal opposition party, Congress, supported by the other newly formed groups clearly indicate that there is a foreign hand involved in these disturbing developments. These are surely aimed at creating disturbances of a bigger magnitude throughout the country and discredit the government and the nation globally. But their designs have fallen flat due to the disinterest shown by the silent majority of the country. When the Congress party led by Rahul Gandhi virtually 'raided' Akashvani Bhavan, Nirvachan Sadan and the Supreme Court of India in October 2026, it actually made known to the public at large that all these things were done by the Congress in utter desperation. The Supreme Court declined to meet such a raiding delegation of Congress in its premises. Instead it asked them to file their complaint with the Apex Court which would be put to trial by the designated bench of the highest court. The Supreme Court was annoyed over Rahul Gandhi's conduct on 12 October. The Apex Court clearly questioned Rahul Gandhi's conduct during his march stating it wanted the petitioner to explain his conduct while filing the petition and noted that 'we are not happy with what was done'. A bench led by CJI Suryakant issued formal notices to Rahul Gandhi, Congress party and the other leaders. The court said that it would 'examine everything' but demanded an explanation for the commotion and crowd management during the filing. Neither Congress party nor Rahul Gandhi, nor the other opposition leaders learnt any lessons out of this fiasco. Instead of waiting for the court's verdict, they all went for the free-for-all shows castigating constitutionally elected and established institutions and dignitaries of the nation. When they met the President of India, Dropadi Murmu in regard to their grievances regarding SIR connected issues, she asked them directly for proof in this connection. The Congress party or any leader of the opposition has failed to provide any proof in this context till date. Instead Rahul Gandhi brazenly claims publicly that 'he had a feeling of vote-chori and his feeling was multiplied by the results of the elections'. On the one hand, he accuses Gyanesh Kumar of conducting SIR to favour PM Modi and BJP and on the other hand he accuses him of getting PM Modi elected as the Prime Minister of India. Gyanesh Kumar assumed his office in January 2025 while PM Modi was elected in the year 2024 for the third time. Such atrocious arguments with a false sense of righteousness has gripped the Congress party and its leaders Kharge and Rahul Gandhi beyond imagination. Unruly, uncontrolled and arrogant behaviour and conduct of the leaders of opposition, both Kharge and Rahul Gandhi have been witnessed by the people umpteen times now. They have lost control over their language and public conduct. While Congress president Kharge publicly used invectives against the father of the Prime Minister Modi, Rahul Gandhi was seen involved in unruly and vagabond manner during the protests, pushing and pulling people in the rallies. The Supreme Court was compelled to issue a notice to Rahul Gandhi on a plea filed by a pregnant journalist in this regard. A sorry state of affairs about the LoP is a concern for all. 'The Supreme Court has issued notice to Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi on a plea filed by a pregnant journalist alleging that he pushed her while she was inside the top court's registry during the oppositions 12th October march to the top court. On 12th October, 2026, Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders led a crowd to the Supreme Court to submit a petition challenging the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The pregnant journalist, Richa Parashar, alleged that Rahul Gandhi had grabbed her and pulled her as she attempted to cover the march. She alleged that his security guards also pushed her; she fell in the push and was hospitalised. Respondent No.4 (Rahul Gandhi) suddenly pushed her towards the gate, with such force that she lost her balance and fell and had to break the fall with her hands. The push was delivered openly, in a crowded place, in the presence of security personnel, journalists and other persons, despite her express pleas. It was not a mere jostle of the crowd, her application states. The plea claims that even after she was pushed, no one stopped to help her. Respondent No.4 (Rahul Gandhi) did not even bother and no one, neither he nor any of the leaders, workers or security personnel accompanying him, stopped to help her or to ask whether she was hurt. With blood coming out of her hands, the applicant managed to reach a side pavement, where she sat pleading for help for almost forty minutes'. In the meantime, the Election Commission of India in response to the notice of the Supreme Court of India submitted its affidavit in the apex court and demolished the entire narrative in regard to the decisions about the SIR in the Commission. The ECI stated that all decisions regarding the 'SIR' (Summary Revision/Declaration) process were taken unanimously at the Commission. The affidavit was unanimously approved by all three members, the Chief Election Commissioner and both Election Commissioners. All three orders concerning the 'SIR' process (June, 2025, October, 2025 and May, 2026) were decisions reached unanimously by the Commission. The submission also said that there have been no changes to 'Form 6', only the Central Government has the authority to amend it. The 'SIR' declaration is a separate document. The plea seeking to restrain the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is not maintainable. The CEC can only be removed in the same manner as a Supreme Court judge. The Commission has never released nor authorised the release of any internal notes or files to the media. The Supreme Court has already dismissed repeated challenges to the EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines). On 17 November, 2026 the Supreme Court is expected to deliver the final judgement on SIR and the related issues for which the opposition has lost its sagacity to wait. As if it was not all enough, the Congress party organised a mock parliament at the residence of the LoP in Rajya Sabha and the President of the Congress party Mallikaarjuna Kharge on 31 October, 2026 (which was earlier decided to be held on 30 October, 2026). In the mock parliament, which was attended by real and fake MPs both, a resolution for the 'impeachment' of the CEC was adopted. Neither the mock parliament, nor the deliberations in it nor any sort of resolution adopted therein has any constitutional, legal or moral value. By these kinds of childish activities, the opposition and particularly the Congress party has brought themselves below par in the eyes of the public. In a way, they have further exposed themselves before the nation and their motives have come to be seen with suspicion. Another aspect of this whole scenario is that the LoP in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has initiated a campaign of threats and warnings to the duly elected authorities and constitutionally established institutional heads besides the police and civil officers. These threats need to be viewed by the government and the law and order authorities very seriously. Even the Supreme Court needs to take suo moto actionon these threats unleashed by Rahul Gandhi. Enough is really enough. It clearly seems that both Kharge and Rahul Gandhi are competent enough to bury the Congress party with their own hands....!

Gehlot hits back at Raj CM Sharma, demands evidence for allegations or apology within 24 hours

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) A fresh political confrontation has erupted between Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot following the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' (Save Democracy, End Anarchy) march and rally in Jodhpur on Tuesday. While addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Sharma launched a political attack on Gehlot and the previous Congress government. In response, the veteran Congress leader Gehlot rejected the Chief Minister's remarks, describing them as 'baseless' and demanding that he substantiate his allegations with documentary evidence or issue a public apology within 24 hours. In a statement posted on social media platform X, Gehlot said, I am deeply pained by the baseless remarks made by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma in Jodhpur today, which have no factual basis whatsoever. He has presented an entirely fabricated narrative by making false and personal allegations against me. I expect him to provide a detailed account, supported by facts and documents, to both me and the people of Rajasthan. Otherwise, he should apologise within 24 hours. He added that he had expected Chief Minister Sharma to maintain democratic decorum and clarify allegations of collusion, widely reported in the media, concerning the purchase of a villa by IAS officer Shikhar Agrawal, who served as Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister. He also questioned Chief Minister Sharma's role in the matter, saying that the Chief Minister himself chairs the board that approved special concessions for the Ananta company. The former Chief Minister said that instead of addressing these questions, the Chief Minister had made personal remarks and attempted to divert public attention from the allegations. Raising further questions, Gehlot asked Chief Minister Sharma to clarify his role in granting a special package to Ananta Resort. He said that Chief Minister Sharma chairs the Investment Board that approved the package and asked why the investigation had not been handed over to a central agency such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Gehlot also questioned the impartiality of an investigation conducted by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), which functions under the state government. How can an agency operating under the Chief Minister conduct an impartial investigation into a decision taken by a board chaired by the Chief Minister himself? he asked. Earlier, while addressing the BJP rally in Jodhpur, Chief Minister Sharma had criticised the previous Congress government, alleging that Rajasthan witnessed political instability and internal power struggles during Ashok Gehlot's tenure as the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister said that instead of addressing people's problems, the previous Congress-led state government remained preoccupied with political developments and confined itself to hotels. He also referred to the public disagreements between Gehlot and the then Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot. Taking a swipe at the Congress leadership, CM Sharma pointed to a recent Congress rally where, according to him, former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was not given a place on the stage while Rajasthan Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra was delivering his address. He described this as a reflection of the internal differences within the Congress. The Chief Minister also invoked his background as the son of a farmer, saying that the current BJP-led state government was working for the welfare of the farming community. Taking a jibe at Gehlot, whom he referred to as a 'magician', CM Sharma alleged that the former Chief Minister had exploited farmers rather than working in their interests. The Chief Minister also raised questions over appointments to the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), examination paper leak cases, and alleged corruption during the previous Congress government's tenure. Referring to the Jal Jeevan Mission controversy, CM Sharma alleged that Ministers and officials associated with the previous Congress government had been sent to jail in connection with the case. He also accused the former Chief Minister of favouring relatives and aides instead of prioritising public welfare. Chief Minister Sharma also referred to the arrest of Gehlot's former Personal Security Officer (PSO) Head Constable Rajkumar Yadav in connection with a paper leak case. The Chief Minister asserted that the current BJP government would take action against anyone found involved in corruption, irrespective of their position or influence.

Gujarat forest guards call off agitation after talks with govt

Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Nov 3 (IANS) Forest Guards and Beat Guards in Gujarat have agreed to call off their agitation following discussions with the state government over their pending demands, Forest and Environment Minister Arjun Modhwadia said on Tuesday. The decision came after a meeting between senior Forest Department officials and representatives of the employees association, held on the instructions of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. The meeting focused on the various demands raised by employees of the two cadres, who had been protesting to press for their resolution. Modhwadia said the discussions had resulted in a positive outcome, with the government agreeing to address the employees concerns. However, some of the pending issues require approval from the General Administration Department and the Finance Department. These issues will also be resolved at the earliest after following the prescribed procedures, the minister said, adding that the government is committed to taking decisions in the interests of junior employees and adopting a sympathetic approach towards their concerns. The agitation, which began on October 28 at Satyagraha Chhavni in Gandhinagar, had drawn around 3,000 frontline forest personnel from different parts of the state. The employees had been seeking improvements in their service conditions, including a risk allowance, removal of pay disparities between Forest Guards and Foresters, compensation for working on public holidays, an increase in staff strength and faster disposal of pending transfer applications. The employees had also raised concerns over promotion opportunities and discrepancies in grade pay. According to the employees association, a Forest Guard receives a grade pay of Rs 1,800, lower than the Rs 1,900 paid to Class IV employees. Forest personnel are responsible for protecting forests and wildlife and responding to incidents involving wild animals, forest fires and illegal activities. Their duties often require them to work in difficult and potentially dangerous conditions. The government has not yet detailed which demands have been accepted or specified the financial and administrative concessions that will be granted. The minister said the remaining issues would be taken up with the departments concerned through the prescribed approval process.

Celebrating with you was a highlight of my year: Hamilton praises Antonelli for 2026 title

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton heaped praise on his Mercedes successor Kimi Antonelli for winning the 2026 title, as he shared a special social media post for the 20-year-old. Hamilton, who was replaced by Antonelli in his Mercedes seat after the Brit moved to Ferrari in 2025, called watching Antonelli's journey and celebrating his title win a highlight of his year. Let me start with a huge congratulations to the new champion, Kimi Antonelli, Hamilton wrote in an Instagram post. To have seen your journey so closely and to be there celebrating with you was a highlight of my year. So well deserved and a record that will stand for a long time. It was great to see your team at Mercedes celebrating with you. Enjoy this moment, keep your family close, keep your passion and your energy. Meanwhile, the Ferrari driver further expressed disappointment with his own team's weekend, where they missed what he felt was an easy P1 and P2 with the pace the car had. Our own weekend was one full of challenges. We had a lot thrown at us, but our mechanics and engineers did an incredible job. Weve grown so much together this year, and that progress has taken a huge effort from everyone on the track and back at the factory. Thats why losing what couldve been a win hurts so much. We need to grasp every opportunity we have, so its incredibly frustrating, and I cant pretend otherwise, he added. The Brit had an opening lap battle with teammate Charles Leclerc, which saw Leclerc pushed into the grass and Hamilton losing momentum and conceding a position to Max Verstappen. Leclerc was later handed a 5-second time penalty as Ferrari lost out on a chance to win. Speaking after the race, Hamilton reasoned that this battle made them lose the race. In his social media post, he further reflected on the tough weekend. I know what goes into giving us that opportunity. The standard the team holds itself to, the standard I hold myself to, the standard the fans expect. Everyone deserves to see us at our best and win. Were all here to race and want to win. Battling is necessary, but when that battle costs the team, we have to be honest about it and learn from it. We can push each other to the limit and still honour the responsibility to everyone who put us on that track. Ill keep giving everything I have. My belief in this team hasnt changed, and neither has my responsibility to help us get this right. Stick with us. Im only just getting started with this team, and we have so much more to come, he added.

Saif Ali Khan reveals Kareena Kapoor Khan hated their first bike ride together: Then why are we on this bike?

Actor Saif Ali Khan recently revisited an amusing memory from the early days of his relationship with Kareena Kapoor Khan on the sets of Tashan, during an appearance on the quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Sharing the anecdote with host Amitabh Bachchan, Saif spoke about his first bike ride with Kareena and revealed that while he had hoped the outing would bring them closer, she ended up disliking the experience. The episode featured Saif alongside Akshay Kumar, who interestingly was also a part of Tashan and a witness to Saif Kareenas blossoming romance. Introducing the topic, Amitabh Bachchan said, Ye ek cheez aur bata rahe hain hamare computer ji, about bike rides with Kareena. (There is one more thing our computer is telling us about bike rides with Kareena) Responding with an enthusiastic Oh yes, Sir!, Saif explained that he and Kareena were not particularly close when the idea of a bike ride first came up. The two were working together as co-stars and, as he recalled, were largely keeping their interactions polite and formal. Someone then suggested that he invite Kareena for a ride, given her interest in motorcycles. Recalling how the plan took shape, Saif said, Shuru-shuru mein, Kareena aur mein zyada baat nahi kar rahe the us waqt pe... just being polite co-stars. Toh kisi ne kaha ki 'Why don't you ask her for a bike ride? Wo bahut pasand karti hain motorcycles.' Aur us waqt main maine ek bike hire kiya tha. Ladakh ki roads bahut khubsurat hai toh main headphones laga ke shooting pe aata tha bike chalate hue. Toh unhone kaha ki 'Why don't you give her a bike ride?' Toh maine poochha unko ki 'Would you like to go on a bike ride?' And she said, 'Yes, I... you know, I would love to, I love bikes.' Toh maine kaha chalo. (In the beginning, Kareena and I weren't talking much at that time... we were just being polite co-stars. Then someone suggested, 'Why don't you ask her for a bike ride? She really likes motorcycles.' At that time, I had hired a bike. The roads in Ladakh are very beautiful, so I used to ride to the shooting location wearing headphones. Then they suggested, 'Why don't you take her on a bike ride?' So I asked her, 'Would you like to go on a bike ride?' And she said, 'Yes, I... you know, I would love to, I love bikes.' So I said, 'Come on, let's go). View this post on Instagram A post shared by sonytvofficial (@sonytvofficial) However, the ride did not quite turn out as Saif had expected. Describing Kareena's reaction, he recounted, So I took her on a little ride, and every two seconds,... she dug her nails into me and said, 'Stop stop stop stop! Roko roko roko roko..' You know, I was like, 'But...' So I was driving again, she said, 'Stop, stop, not so fast, not so fast..' And after a while she said, 'No, I hate bike rides..' Saif then shared his reaction to the unexpected turn of events, adding, So I said, 'Then why are we on this bike?' Then I thought, 'Ah... okay, maybe there is something else to it.' So, I think we liked each other, but she did not like the bike.. The actor's narration left the audience in splits, with Amitabh Bachchan also joining in the laughter. Kaun Banega Crorepati airs on Sony Entertainment Television. Also Read: Photos: Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Rajkummar Rao, and others attend the launch of Library at NMACC

'Defaming Punjab won't benefit your politics': AAP hits back at Delhi Minister Sirsa

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday hit back at Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa's allegation that stubbing burning in Punjab was causing pollution in the national capital, saying that the politics of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won't benefit by defaming the state. Earlier on Tuesday, Sirsa alleged that the AAP Punjab government failed to check stubble burning, which is contributing to pollution in Delhi. In a self-made video, AAP's National Media In-charge Anurag Dhanda remarked that the situation of Sirsa is like that of a student who did not study all year and then complains that the child sitting on the bench beside him did not allow him to take the exam. Asking the Delhi government to stop making excuses, he said: The Bharatiya Janata Party government alone is responsible for Delhi's pollution. Why do you keep criticising and defaming Punjab? Dhanda claimed that when the Aam Aadmi Party government came to power in 2022, there were around 80,000 farm-fire incidents in Punjab. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann worked with farmers, explained the issue to them, and with their cooperation brought the number down to fewer than 5,000 last year. This year, with farmers' support, farm-fire incidents in Punjab have become almost negligible, he asserted. The AAP leader claimed that in Uttar Pradesh, farm-fire incidents are increasing by 25 to 30 per cent every year. In areas such as Meerut, Aligarh, Agra, and the entire western UP region, these incidents have risen sharply. Over the past few years, the situation has worsened. It is not the farmers' fault there. The NDA government, led by (Chief Minister) Yogi Adityanath, does not help farmers and does not provide them with resources, he said. He also referred to Madhya Pradesh, claiming farm-fire incidents in the state are increasing by 150 per cent every year. Last year, 52 per cent of all farm-fire incidents in the country occurred in Madhya Pradesh alone, he said while arguing that despite being in power, the BJP government has failed to curb the incidents. Dhanda also questioned the Rekha Gupta government over its efforts to control pollution in Delhi. Can you cite even one example of a step that the BJP government has taken to bring down pollution in Delhi? If you do nothing, how can pollution reduce on its own? he asked. He also questioned Sirsa about why preparations were not made in advance in Delhi despite knowing that the pollution levels rise during this time every year. Last time, you (Delhi government) said pollution would be reduced through cloud seeding and induced rainfall. Even that led to corruption, and money was wasted. Defaming Punjab will not benefit your politics, nor will it help the people of Delhi. If you want to reduce pollution in Delhi, you need to take concrete steps and tell people about those measures, the AAP leader asserted. Moreover, Dhanda claimed that Punjab has clear skies and clean air as compared to Delhi. There is no stubble-burning smoke there at this time, he stated. The AAP leader further said that the responsibility to answer from where smoke is coming to Delhi lies with the BJP government, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Rajasthan High Court declares tax collection on Out-of-State private vehicles illegal

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) The Rajasthan High Court has declared the Transport Department's action of collecting road tax from private cars and jeeps registered in other states, allegedly on the grounds that they had been operated in Rajasthan for more than 30 days, illegal, in the absence of a specific statutory notification. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal and Justice Sameer Jain ruled that the Transport Department cannot impose or collect taxes on non-transport vehicles registered in other states without a valid notification issued under the relevant provisions of the law. While disposing of petitions filed by Harpi Core Network India Private Limited and others, the court directed the department to refund the taxes collected from the petitioners within 30 days and immediately release the seized vehicles. Several vehicle owners had approached the Rajasthan High Court challenging the Transport Department's action against their private vehicles, which were registered in states including Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The petitioners submitted that lifetime road tax had already been paid in their respective states at the time of registration. However, during routine inspections, flying squads of the Rajasthan Transport Department intercepted several such vehicles and initiated enforcement proceedings. The Rajasthan Transport Department maintained that these vehicles had been operating in Rajasthan for more than 30 days without payment of the prescribed state road tax. It argued that under Rule 28 of the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Rules, vehicles remaining in the state beyond 30 days were liable to pay tax under the Rajasthan Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1951. Challenging the department's action, the petitioners argued that their vehicles were already registered in other states and that the applicable lifetime tax had been paid there. They contended that there was no legal basis for demanding a lump-sum tax in Rajasthan merely because the vehicles had been used in the state for more than 30 days. The petitioners also invoked Article 265 of the Constitution, which provides that no tax can be levied or collected except by authority of law. They argued that the Transport Department could not impose a tax merely by relying on administrative interpretations or notifications that did not specifically authorise such a levy. The Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma-led state government defended the department's action, arguing that private vehicles registered outside Rajasthan were being used in the state for periods exceeding 30 days and were, therefore, liable for taxation under the applicable rules. The government also cited a notification issued on July 10, 2024, which prescribed rates for one-time taxation of non-transport vehicles. It argued that the notification covered vehicles already registered in other states as well. Accordingly, the government maintained that the tax demands and seizure of vehicles were legally justified. After hearing both sides, the High Court observed that the July 10, 2024, notification prescribed tax rates for passenger and goods vehicles. However, there was no separate notification under the relevant statutory provision specifically authorising the levy of one-time tax on private non-transport cars registered in other states. The Bench held that merely mentioning vehicles registered in other states in a notification issued under a different provision does not fulfil the statutory requirement for imposing such a tax. The court clarified that when the law requires a specific notification for levying a particular tax, the government cannot collect it by relying on a notification issued under another provision. Consequently, the court held that the one-time tax demand against private cars registered in other states could not be sustained on the basis of the existing notification. The court directed the Transport Department to release the seized vehicles immediately and refund the tax collected from the petitioners within 30 days.

Zahan Kapoor shares rare pic of 8 year-old Shashi Kapoor as Bharat, with father Prithviraj Kapoor as Dushyant

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 3 (IANS) The Kapoor family patriarch, Prithviraj Kapoors archival pictures were released on his birthday, by his great grandson Zahan Kapoor, and it offers a whole bouquet of memories. One of the pictures features him along with his son, Shashi Kapoor who was 8 years old at the time. The picture is from the play, Shankuntala, which marked the first production of Prithvi Theatres in 1944. While Prithviraj Kapoor essayed the role of Dushyant, his son Shashi Kapoor played the role of Bharat. Zahan Kapoor took to his Instagram on Tuesday, and shared a joint post featuring a series of pictures of Prithviraj Kapoor on his birth anniversary. Shakuntala, which was based on the eponymous Sanskrit play by Kalidasa, was the inaugural production of Prithvi Theatres, founded by actor Prithviraj Kapoor on January 15, 1944. Uzra Mumtaz, younger sister of legendary actor Zohra Sehgal, portrayed Shakuntala. The production marked Kapoor's ambitious entry into organised repertory theatre. Prithvi Theatres, which was conceived as a travelling theatre company, went on to perform across 112 towns in India, staging 2,662 shows over 5,982 days. Prithviraj Kapoor himself appeared in every performance. The company subsequently became known for socially relevant plays addressing contemporary issues. Other pictures include Prithviraj Kapoor and HIS wife Rama in a relaxed mood at Raj Kapoor's house in Chembur, him recording a Prithvi Theatres play at the All India Radio studio, him posing with the troupe at the Delhi Station after a tour of Kashmir in 1952, him with his 2nd son, Shammi Kapoor, meeting his audience after a show, in his late 40s, and early 30s. Prithviraj Kapoors roots belonged to the present day Pakistan. He was born in Samundri, in undivided Punjab's Lyallpur district, now Faisalabad, Pakistan. His father served as a police officer. Kapoor spent his formative years between Lyallpur and Peshawar, studying at Edwardes College before moving to Bombay in 1928 to pursue acting. Following the Partition of India in 1947, he left his birthplace and childhood homes across the newly drawn border. He reportedly longed to revisit Samundri but never got the opportunity. The displacement remained a personal tragedy, even as he built an enduring theatrical and cinematic legacy in India through Prithvi Theatres.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao on crypto hack: 'There's no 100% security'

Blockchain intelligence firms and the FBI attributed the 20-minute raid with high confidence to TraderTraitor, an elite state-sponsored cyber unit tied to North Korea.
