Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 12 (IANS) The Gujarat government has sealed four warehouses in Mehsana district after surprise inspections uncovered more than 1.58 lakh bags of suspected adulterated cottonseed cake, including a stock valued at Rs 25 crore at a warehouse in Linch, the state government said on Monday. The inspections were conducted on October 11 in the Kadi area on the instructions of Animal Husbandry Minister Jitu Vaghani, following a specific complaint about possible adulteration in animal feed. Samples of the suspected material have been sent to laboratories for testing, while officials are verifying the physical stock against warehouse records. According to the preliminary investigation, approximately 63.41 lakh kg of stock at the Linch warehouse, estimated to be worth Rs 25 crore, was found to be expired and suspected to be adulterated. The findings remain subject to further verification and laboratory analysis. The inspections covered four warehouses associated with the NCDEX group. At Bhavya Warehouse in Aldesan, officials found 14,125 bags, while Shubham Logistics Warehouse in the same village had 5,090 bags. Mahashakti Warehouse, also known as Amina Warehouse, in Nagrasan had 10,796 bags, and LTC Warehouse on the Linch-Ambasan Road had approximately 1,28,622 bags. The combined stock of more than 1,58,500 bags was sealed late on Sunday night for counting and verification. Joint teams from the Mehsana District Animal Husbandry Department, the Food and Drugs Control Administration, the Kadi Mamlatdar's office and veterinary services carried out the inspections under the supervision of the Mehsana Collector. Officials collected separate samples of the suspected cottonseed cake using scientific methods and sent them to laboratories for urgent analysis. On October 12, teams are also verifying the physical stock at the warehouses against the closing balances recorded in the stock registers. The action comes after Gujarat enacted a new law to ensure the quality and safety of animal feed. The legislation has received the Governor's assent, and its implementation is expected to begin shortly, according to the government. Vaghani had warned against adulteration in animal feed and cottonseed cake while addressing the annual general meeting of the Gujarat Cotton Seeds Crushers Association. He said the government would not tolerate practices that endangered animal health or harmed livestock farmers. The priority of the government is to ensure that livestock farmers in the state receive pure, safe and quality feed for their animals, Vaghani said. He added that those violating the prescribed standards of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), or selling adulterated and unfit feed, could face legal penalties, cancellation of licences and imprisonment under the new law. Further action is expected to depend on the findings of the laboratory tests and the verification of stock records.

Childish: Maha Minister blasts Rahul Gandhi on MPSC protest remarks
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Maharashtra Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ashish Shelar on Monday launched a sharp attack on Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, describing his remarks on the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) student protests as childish and accusing the Opposition of engaging in unconstitutional street politics. Speaking to reporters at the Mumbai Press Club, Minister Shelar strongly disputed LoP Rahul Gandhis assertion that the MPSC chairpersons decision to go on leave represented a victory for protesting students and their Satyagraha. Dismissing LoP Rahul Gandhis narrative, he asserted that the government and the ruling alliance had continuously stood by the agitating aspirants. Gandhis comments are childish. We were also with the students; thus, it is also our victory, he declared, emphasising that addressing candidate grievances was a collective priority rather than a partisan achievement. The minister urged political leaders to respect established institutional procedures instead of inciting chaos or staging street demonstrations. Minister Shelar argued that as the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi should utilise legitimate avenuessuch as floor debates in Parliament or legal petitions in the Supreme Courtto raise critical issues. He emphasised that grievances must be addressed through constitutional mechanisms, including legislative debates and judicial review. Noting that legal matters are currently pending before courts, he stressed that all parties must await judicial verdicts rather than provoking public unrest. Creating widespread agitation and storming streets, he warned, poses a serious threat to national stability and governance. To reinforce his point, Shelar invoked B. R. Ambedkars historic final address to the Constituent Assembly on November 25, 1949. He recalled Ambedkars stark warning regarding the grammar of anarchyhe peril of abandoning constitutional methods for civil disobedience once democratic avenues become available. Drawing a contrast with his own party's history, Minister Shelar cited the BJP's decades in opposition. He noted that while the party spearheaded major national movements over issues like the Ram Temple, Jammu & Kashmir, and student rights, it consistently operated within institutional frameworks without storming Parliament or invading the Prime Minister's official residence. Addressing accusations of authoritarianism under Prime Minister Narendra Modis government, Minister Shelar pushed back, pointing to sustained public demonstrationsincluding widespread farmer protestsas proof of active democratic freedoms in India. He concluded by reiterating that political rivalries must be resolved through democratic dialogue, court rulings, and parliamentary debate rather than by undermining public institutions.

His message also reflects the attention the young producer has received following the films arrival in theatres. For Anupriya, the recognition from an established actor such as Dutt marks a notable moment as she continues her journey in the film industry. Meanwhile, Hanuman Ansh has added to the recent conversation around devotional cinema and the role of audience recommendations in helping smaller films find wider viewership.

Bigg Boss 20: Aman Gandhi loses lifeline; Manish Goel and Nakul Dhull enter as wildcard Contestants
The latest episode of Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar brought several twists to the reality show. Hosted by Salman Khan, the episode featured confrontations involving the housemates, discussions around the ongoing lollipop controversy and Qazi Touqeers health, while also introducing two new wildcard contestants, television actor Manish Goel and social media creator Nakul Dhull. One of the major developments of the episode was Aman Gandhi losing one of his lifelines. The development came as a surprise, especially since Mary Kom had already lost one of her two lifelines last week and was left with only one. Aman Gandhi loses lifeline, Mary Kom gets a breather The contestants nominated for the week included Qazi Touqeer, Mary Kom, Aman Gandhi, Mahhi Vij, Kanika Mann, Love Gill, Arishfa Khan and Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu. Under the show's lifeline format, contestants initially had two lifelines. Mary Kom had already lost one during the previous week, leading to speculation that the athlete could be the next contestant to leave the house. However, the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode changed the equation when Aman Gandhi lost a lifeline instead. The development has also triggered discussion among viewers on social media. Some online chatter claims that Qazi Touqeer's supporters may have voted for Mary Kom to help increase her numbers, particularly amid Aman Gandhi's repeated clashes and criticism of Qazi inside the house. However, the voting strategy being attributed to Qazi's fanbase remains speculation and has not been officially confirmed. With Aman now left with one lifeline and Mary also continuing with one, the equation for the upcoming eviction remains open. Manish Goel enters Bigg Boss 20 as wildcard The Weekend Ka Vaar episode also saw veteran television actor Manish Goel enter Bigg Boss 20 as the first of the two new wildcard contestants. Goel has been a familiar face on Indian television for several years. He has appeared in popular Hindi shows including Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Bhabhi, where he played the character Tilak. More recently, he was seen as Raghav in Anupamaa. Goel has also participated in reality television before. He appeared with his wife Poonam Narula in the first season of Nach Baliye, where the couple emerged as runners-up. He later won the celebrity cooking reality show Welcome Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki. Nakul Dhull joins the house as second wildcard Social media influencer and content creator Nakul Dhull also entered the Bigg Boss 20 house as a wildcard contestant. The Faridabad-based creator has been at the centre of controversy in 2026 following a viral video in which he described following or running after a woman walking alone at night to scare her as a prank. The video drew criticism from viewers who felt that portraying a woman's fear around safety as entertainment was insensitive. Nakul Dhull and Gullu controversy surfaces online Soon after Nakul's wildcard entry, social media was flooded with claims of an alleged confrontation between him and Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu. However, the incident remains unverified. According to claims circulating on X and Instagram, Nakul was reportedly speaking with Qazi Touqeer about ScoutOP when Gullu joined the conversation. The discussion allegedly escalated, with some versions of the story claiming that Nakul pushed or hit Gullu, following which Gullu retaliated. Accounts differ on whether Gullu slapped Nakul or grabbed him before other housemates intervened. Some social media posts further alleged that Nakul was asked to leave the house after the incident because of physical violence. Other versions claim that abusive language was exchanged and that Nakul threatened to confront Gullu outside the show. However, there has been no official confirmation from the Bigg Boss 20 makers regarding the alleged incident or Nakul's reported exit. Some social media posts have also denied that such an incident took place. Also Read:Bigg Boss 20: Aman Gandhis team clarifies population remark to Qazi Touqeer; says, It was about his gameplay
Bhumi Satish Pednekkar has spoken out against the alleged harassment and assault of women protesters in Delhi, questioning the contradiction between worshipping goddesses during festivals and respecting women in everyday life. The actor took to Instagram Stories on Sunday, sharing two posts that highlighted the issue following reports and videos of women protesters allegedly being assaulted during the Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) demonstration in the national capital. In one of her stories, Bhumi drew attention to the disparity between religious practices and the treatment of women. The post she shared pointed out how men worship goddesses during the nine days of Navratri but often fail to uphold the same respect for women in their daily lives. The post read, And for the next act: men will worship a goddess for nine straight days, then burn Ravan for abducting a woman and then go right back to harassing the women for the other 365 days. Quite a performance. In another Instagram Story, the actor shared a report stating that Delhi Police had arrested four men who were allegedly seen assaulting women protesters in a viral video from the CJP demonstration. Reacting to the visuals circulating online, Bhumi condemned the alleged treatment of women and children. She wrote, These videos circulating of women & children being abused and harassed are disturbing, wrong and unacceptable. Shame! The actor's posts came amid scrutiny of the police response to Saturday's demonstrations in Delhi. Thousands of people were detained as authorities moved to prevent a planned protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Videos and eyewitness accounts of the police action subsequently raised questions about how demonstrators, including women, were treated during the proceedings. According to reports, the Supreme Court later directed authorities to ensure that detentions were carried out in accordance with the law and that citizens' freedom of movement was not unlawfully restricted. Bhumi has used her social media platform to raise concerns about gender equality and other social issues. Through her latest posts, the actor highlighted the need to look beyond symbolic gestures of reverence and focus on the everyday treatment of women. Her remarks also drew attention to the importance of ensuring women's safety, dignity and freedom to express themselves, particularly in public spaces. The posts underscored the contradiction between celebrating women as goddesses during festivals and the alleged harassment and mistreatment of women in society.

The actress also extended her birthday wishes to Amitabh Bachchan, whose birthday falls on the same day, while recalling the mutual respect and admiration shared by the two legendary actors. Saira Banu shared a series of photographs and videos on social media, including a montage capturing special moments with Dilip Kumar. In her post, she looked back at the circumstances surrounding their wedding and described how her childhood dream of becoming part of the actors life eventually came true. Over the years, perhaps the whole world has come to know the extraordinary and hilarious circumstances under which my wedding with Dilip Sahib took place. Even today, when I look back upon those unexpected and beautiful turns of events, I find myself smiling and laughing at the sheer simplicity of it. Reflecting on manifestation, a concept she said had become widely discussed in recent years, Saira Banu revealed that her journey had begun when she was just 12 years old. She recalled how, despite not knowing the term at the time, she had wished to become an integral part of Dilip Kumars life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saira Banu Khan (@sairabanu) Recalling their wedding day on October 11, 1966, she wrote, Everything about that day was perfect: the occasion, the people who surrounded us, and, above everything else, Dilip Sahib, who was, is, and shall always remain the most beautiful part of my world.

According to Saira Banu, Dilip Kumar appreciated Amitabh Bachchans command over dialogue, impeccable diction and ability to listen attentively to his co-actors.

Concluding her note, the actress shared a message for younger generations, urging them not to give up on love too easily. She wrote, Love is not a burden and most certainly not something to be abandoned at the first sign of difficulty. She further added, For in the end, after all your achievements, failures, and lessons, all that is left is love alone. Saira Banu ended the note by reflecting on her own experience, writing that she had lived that life, seen the world, and is still in love. Saira Banu and Dilip Kumar married on October 11, 1966. At the time, Saira was 22 and Dilip Kumar was 44, marking an age difference of 20 years.

Badshah recalls demanding 'life-changing' prize money before agreeing to judge Hustle
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Rapper Badshah recently opened up about his initial hesitation to come on board as a judge on the hip-hop reality show Hustle. He revealed that he had certain conditions before agreeing to be part of it. Badshah said he insisted on fair contracts for artists and prize money substantial enough to change a contestants life, recalling the silence in the room when he mentioned the amount. Taking to Instagram, the rapper shared a series of pictures along with a lengthy note. He recalled that his first instinct was to turn down the offer to judge Hustle because of the difficult experiences his friends and the wider hip-hop community had faced in the past. However, after hearing the team out, he saw their genuine commitment to building a meaningful platform for young artists. This prompted him to reconsider his decision. Badshah wrote, I still remember the room where the Hustle team first approached me to be a judge. My first instinct was to say no. Too much had happened in the past, and I couldnt ignore what my friends and the hip-hop community had been through. But I listened. And I saw a new team that genuinely cared. Not just about a show, but about a platform that meant the world to so many young artists. I agreed, but not without a few conditions. No unfair contracts. And prize money that could actually change someones life. I still remember the silence in that room when I mentioned the amount. Because talent needs more than applause. It needs opportunity. It needs resources. It needs someone to believe in it. And then I met these kids. Strangers became familiar faces. Familiar faces became people I cared about. And somewhere along the way, they became family. Their fears became my worries. Their little victories became my happiness. I wanted to protect them from everything I could, because I knew how much they were already carrying on their shoulders. And before I knew it, we were at the finale, he added. The Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai singer went on to state, Life is strange. Sometimes it opens a door you never intended to walk through. And on the other side, you find something so beautiful that you wonder what you would have missed had you never taken that chance. Hustle was that door for me.

The Untold Story of Luhnu Cricket Ground: From a Submerged Towns Rebirth to a Ranji Trophy Comeback
When cricket fans think of picturesque stadiums in Himachal Pradesh, the spectacular, snow-capped peaks of Dharamshala inevitably dominate the conversation. But this October, domestic crickets spotlight shall take a dramatic 150-kilometre detour southwest. Following persistent, unseasonal rain that left the Dharamshala outfield waterlogged and unplayable, the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) made a breaking announcement: the high-profile Elite Group D Ranji Trophy clash between powerhouse defending champions Mumbai and Himachal Pradesh (1821 October 2026) has been officially moved to the Luhnu Cricket Ground in Bilaspur. For Luhnu, a highly rated 4.4-star venue praised by locals for its well-maintained pitches and spacious outfield, this match marks a monumental competitive resurgence. Moving a first-class four-day match on short notice is a massive logistical gamble, but the Luhnu Cricket Ground is uniquely equipped for weather crises. Nestled directly on the edge of the expansive Gobind Sagar Lake, the ground features newly upgraded SISGrass hybrid pitches. By injecting 5% artificial polymer fibres into the natural grass turf, the square has become highly resilient to player wear and tear while recovering exceptionally fast from heavy rains. While the venue boasts a dedicated team of passionate staff, it has spent over two decades waiting for a moment like this. Luhnu first hosted youth cricket in 1999, followed by its first-class debut in the 2001/02 Ranji Trophy when Himachal played Delhi, and a subsequent fixture against Hyderabad in 2002/03. For 24 years, no further major senior domestic matches were staged hereuntil the weather gods and modern turf technology combined to hand Bilaspur its grand stage. This isn't the first time the Luhnu Ground has been intricately tied to Dharamshala's weather and logistical dramas. In March 2024, just 48 hours before the high-stakes 5th Test Match between India and England, the tranquil town of Bilaspur witnessed an unprecedented spectacle. At the crack of dawn, Indian Captain Rohit Sharma embarked on a frantic multi-leg journey after attending the Ambani family pre-wedding festivities. Having flown out from Delhi at 5:30 AM, a private helicopter braved the volatile mountain weather to fly Rohit directly into Bilaspur, landing on the Luhnu outfield at the behest of then-Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur. Joined by Head Coach Rahul Dravid, Rohit spent the morning at the Luhnu ground inaugurating the Sansad Khel Mahakumbh 3.0. The duo even thrilled the local crowds by playing tennis-ball cricket with local youth right on the lakeside turf. At the time, Thakur publicly lauded Rohit, noting that the captain easily could have refused the demanding early-morning trip so close to a Test match but chose to come to inspire the 75,000 young rural athletes gathered at the venue. But what happened after the Bilaspur event created its own separate media storm. With India's official team net practice scheduled for early afternoon in Dharamshala, there was zero time to negotiate the winding mountain highways. Rohit and Dravid boarded the chopper at Luhnu once more, flying directly over the Dhauladhar peaks to Dharamshala. To avoid delaying his arrival at the team camp, the private chopper touched down at the Kangra District Badminton Association Ground. Because the landing took place right next to the iconic HPCA infrastructure, social media went into a frenzy over the grand helicopter entry, allowing the skipper to instantly join the squad for training without losing a single minute to road traffic. Luhnus entire existence is rooted in a story of rebirth. In the 1960s, the construction of the iconic Bhakra Dam transformed the Sutlej River, completely submerging the old historical town of Bilaspur. As a new town was meticulously planned and built on higher ground, Luhnu emerged as its vast, open-air cultural heart and primary oxygen zone. Instead of Dharamshalas jagged peaks, players and spectators at Luhnu are treated to a stunning, serene lakeside view, where the lush outfield seems to melt directly into the emerald-blue waters of the Gobind Sagar reservoir. It is a place where migratory Siberian ducks fly past in the winter, and the earthy fragrance of pine leaves fills the air. It stands as one of the most picturesque stadiums in India. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories With plans currently underway to further develop the surrounding waters into an official hub for adventure water sports and boating festivals, Luhnu is quickly transitioning from a beloved community park into a premier multi-sport destination. As Mumbai travels to town this October, the lakeside ground is finally getting the grand first-class cricket spotlight it was always meant to occupy.
Faisu took to Instagram to share the joyous announcement with his followers, posting a collection of pictures from the wedding festivities. He disclosed that the couple exchanged Nikah vows in Madinah in the presence of his family, calling the occasion the fulfilment of a cherished dream. He also asked well-wishers to pray for their new life together and seek blessings for their marriage.
