Rakhi Sawant makes surprise appearance in Hania Aamirs debut song Pablo
Pakistani actor Hania Aamir has stepped into music with her first-ever song, Pablo. While the track sees the actor addressing criticism directed at her, it was an unexpected appearance by Indian actor Rakhi Sawant that became one of the talking points surrounding the release. Released on Thursday, Pablo marks Hanias debut as a rapper. The actor has written and composed the song herself, using its lyrics to respond to people who criticise her and question her personality. The track touches upon comments about Hania being fake because of her appearance and her decision to remain guarded about certain aspects of her life. Through the song, Hania tells her critics not to focus on what she does and makes it clear that she intends to live life on her own terms. At one point, she asks those criticising her to take a deep breath and reminds them that everyone is human. She also speaks about people eventually facing the consequences of their actions and asks her detractors to stay within their limits. The surprise element arrives towards the end of the song, with Rakhi Sawant making a special appearance in the outro. Rakhi delivers a message of support for Hania, complimenting her appearance and encouraging her not to let criticism affect her. Rakhi said, Hania, my jaan, dont get tense. Understand? Dont take any tension. Youre a hoor (maiden of heaven), theres divine light on your face. Theyre jealous of your beauty. Rakhi further refers to Hania as a lioness and encourages her to confront her detractors with confidence. Jo darr gaya, samjho marr gaa (The one who gets scared is as good as dead), Rakhi said. The collaboration soon drew reactions online, with several users calling the pairing unexpected. Rakhi also appeared to enjoy the response, reposting fan reactions to the collaboration on Instagram. She additionally shared a video of herself listening to Hanias song while getting ready for an event. Reacting to the collaboration, one fan commented, Rakhi Sawant Hania Aamir was not on my 2026 Bingo list. Another wrote, Unexpected collab. A third fan said, Rakhi saying words that all us Indians want to say to her. Another comment read, I bet no one was ready for Rakhi Sawant's voice in Hania Aamir's song. One user added, Rakhi and Hania's collab is actually sounding so good. Another simply reacted, Crazy stuff.

As Centre seeks clarity on PM SHRI implementation, Kerala govt goes in huddle
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 11 (IANS) The controversial PM SHRI scheme is back on the table in Kerala, with the Centre writing to the state government for the second time, seeking clarity on its implementation. General Education Minister N. Shamsuddeen confirmed that the Centres fresh letter has been received by the Chief Secretary. He said urgent consultations would be held before the government takes a decision. The Chief Minister will discuss the issue at the government level and within the front and convey the stand. I cannot take a stand on my own, Shamsuddeen said. The minister said the government would consider whether to completely reject PM SHRI or go ahead with it subject to conditions. Its future, he said, would be decided after discussions led by Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. The issue has already figured in discussions within the Congress leadership in recent days. While a section of leaders wanted the government to drop the scheme, CM Satheesan is understood to have pointed out that completely walking away from it may not be easy. The scheme had first triggered a major political storm when the previous Pinarayi Vijayan government was in office. The state eventually signed an MoU with the Centre in 2025. The decision was criticised for being taken without adequate consultation within the LDF. The CPI, the second largest constituent of the Left front, mounted strong opposition, forcing the government to subsequently put implementation on hold and constitute a Cabinet sub-committee to examine the issue. The present government now finds itself in a difficult position. The UDF had opposed the scheme before and after the elections. Satheesan, then Leader of the Opposition, had been particularly vocal against the previous government's move. Shamsuddeen, however, pointed to the financial dimension. Kerala, he said, had around Rs 2,000 crore due from the Centre. Samagra Shiksha Kerala funds were the backbone of the Education Department and had been withheld. We have told the Union Minister that Keralas funds should not be withheld in the name of PM SHRI, he said. The Centre has maintained that Kerala signed the PM SHRI MoU in October 2025. The state subsequently sought to keep implementation in abeyance. With the fresh communication from Delhi, the issue has now moved back to the Centre of the political debate, leaving the Satheesan government to balance its earlier opposition to the scheme against Keralas substantial financial claims from the Centre.

Northern Virginia community holds candlelight vigil for Nepal flood victims
Digital Desk | Washington, Sep 11 (IANS) Candles flickered in the evening light as scores of people gathered in northern Virginia to mourn those killed in the Nepal floods and stand with families still waiting for news of their missing loved ones. The interfaith vigil at South Riding Town Green brought together friends, neighbours, elected officials, law enforcement officers and religious leaders. Some participants carried photographs of the missing. Others closed their eyes in prayer or stood silently holding candles. Indian American Congressman Suhas Subramanyam said many of the missing were from Virginia. Some lived in Loudoun County, where the vigil was held. He knew several of them personally. I've known them since I, before I was anything, much less a member of Congress, Subramanyam told IANS. It's very, very disheartening to see something like this happen, he said. The gathering gave families and friends a place to share their grief. It also allowed the wider community to show that those waiting for answers were not alone. They don't have closure. They don't know what's going on. They're not getting regular updates all the time, Subramanyam said. The congressman said his office was in regular contact with US officials. I've personally talked to the State Department multiple times, he said. Our team is talking to them virtually every day. He said the US Department of Defence had sent a military aircraft carrying equipment for the rescue operation. Even the Department of Defense has sent a military plane there full of equipment for the search and rescue, Subramanyam said. Officials were also working to coordinate DNA samples from relatives to help identify bodies that had been recovered, he said. The Loudoun County sheriff attended the vigil and addressed the gathering. He said the community had come together as one family during a painful time. This is one big family though, the sheriff said. And you can tell by the people that turned out their commitment to this, their commitment to prayer, their commitment to doing everything that they can to see this through. He said local authorities would support affected families and help wherever possible. Our role here is just to support the families here, to support this event, to support the people that may need help, may need assistance along the way, he said. Sridhar Nagradi, a Loudoun County resident associated with the sheriffs office, said seven people from the county were missing. He said families and community representatives were joining a telephone call each night to exchange information and offer help. We have a nine o'clock call every night and anybody need help, we are here, Nagradi said. The vigil moved between prayers, personal memories and moments of silence. Representatives of different faiths offered words of comfort. Participants were asked to raise their candles as the community remembered every life touched by the disaster. Our hearts are heavy for all those who lost their lives in the devastating Nepal floods, and for the US citizens and residents who remain missing, organisers said. The vigil ended with another moment of silence. Candles remained raised across the town green as organisers repeated the gatherings message: One community. Many faiths. One prayer. One hope.

Shopian residents demand staff, equipment at district hospital, threaten hunger strike
On Thursday morning, members of civil society and local residents gathered outside District Hospital Shopian, demanding adequate manpower, specialist doctors and essential equipment at the facility. The protesters warned that they would intensify their agitation, including by going on a hunger strike, if the authorities failed to address what they described as persistent deficiencies at the hospital. The hospital was established in 1977 as a Sub-District Hospital (SDH) and was upgraded to a District Hospital after Shopian was granted district status in 2007. Despite catering to a population of more than 2.5 lakh, residents said the hospital continues to face shortages of specialist doctors, technical staff and diagnostic facilities, forcing patients to seek treatment outside the district. We will go for a hunger strike if the hospital is not provided with all the facilities a district hospital deserves, said Mitha Gatoo, a civil society member. Gatoo said the hospital was functioning without several crucial specialists, including a urologist and cardiologist, while other categories of staff were also inadequate. He said the shortage was particularly affecting patients requiring diagnostic services. The USG facility shuts at 4 pm. Afterwards, the patients have to either visit private diagnostic centres or are referred to Srinagar, Gatoo said. He said patients from Shopian were being forced to travel outside the district even for services that, in their view, should be available at a district-level hospital. The protesters also raised questions over the utilisation of equipment already available at the hospital. While the facility lacks key diagnostic services such as an MRI, some of the available equipment remains unused because of a shortage of trained personnel, they said. An ECHO machine is gathering dust because there are no technicians available in the hospital to operate it, Gatoo said. He said the absence of specialists and technical staff was undermining the purpose of having a district hospital in the area. Magray Mansoor, another civil society member, also joined the demand for strengthening the hospital and said the authorities needed to take immediate steps to address the shortage of staff and facilities. The residents said the problem was not limited to one particular department but involved several areas of healthcare, affecting patients who depended on the government hospital for affordable treatment. Ashok Kumar Bali, a resident and former councillor, said he would also join the proposed hunger strike if the authorities failed to address their demands. Bali said the hospital served a large population and should be equipped with the doctors, paramedical staff and diagnostic facilities required of a district hospital. The protesters called on the health authorities and the administration to assess the hospital's requirements and fill vacant posts besides ensuring that existing equipment was put to use. They said people in Shopian should not have to travel to Srinagar or rely on private facilities for basic and specialised healthcare services that should be available at the district hospital. The civil society members said they would wait for the authorities to respond to their demands but warned that failure to act would leave them with no option but to intensify their agitation.
Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, Amrit Udyan closed from today till Sep 13 for BRICS Summit
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) The Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum and Amrit Udyan will remain closed to visitors from Friday to Sunday in view of security and logistical arrangements for the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit. The Change of Guard Ceremony will also not take place at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan on Saturday, said the official in a statement. The closure is part of an effort to minimise inconvenience to BRICS delegates and avoid congestion on roads by restricting public visitors to areas close to the Summit venue. The Delhi Metro has also decided to keep its museum at the Supreme Court metro station closed for three days starting Friday. While the Delhi government had earlier declared a holiday for its offices on September 11, the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions issued an official circular declaring a holiday for Central government offices on that day. Earlier, the Delhi Traffic Police informed the public about a change in dates for official work and legal cases in courts, especially those situated near the BRICS Summit venue at Bharat Mandapam. The traffic police advisory said that a National Lok Adalat that was scheduled to be held on September 12 in courts will now be organised on October 10. Since subordinate courts will observe a holiday on September 11 and 12, the advisory said that cases listed on these two dates will now be listed on September 14. The traffic police said that litigants should check the new date of their court case or Lok Adalat before leaving their homes and avoid an unnecessary journey to the high-security and traffic-regulated zone. Ahead of the international event, the Delhi Traffic Police have been conducting rehearsals for traffic movement during the Summit. As part of the traffic management drill for the events from Friday to Sunday (September 11 to 13), the Traffic Police have planned diversions at 22 points with regulated traffic movement on more than 35 roads. During the trial runs, the traffic police enforced curbs and diversions between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a Motor Carcade Rehearsal ahead of the BRICS Business Forum and the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit. September 12 and 13, being a Saturday and Sunday, are expected to be relatively less challenging for traffic managers who are handling Summit-related arrangements. The traffic police have urged citizens and cab service providers to go through the advisory issued for routes where movement will be restricted, in view of the upcoming BRICS Summit in the national capital. Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dinesh Kumar Gupta said that advisories are being shared with the public through the Delhi Police website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and print media so that the public does not face inconvenience during the movement. We have 22 diversion points in place, under which we will divert the traffic from designated points. We have also briefed our staff to guide people, wherever needed, regarding the diverted routes, he added.

Physical education teacher arrested for harassing Class 11 girl on Instagram
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 10 (IANS) The group stage of the fourth season of the Global Chess League (GCL) in Bengaluru is heading to a nail-biting finale, with just one game point separating the top three teams, with just two rounds left to play. Defending champions Alpine APL Pipers, FYERS American Gambits and Ganges Grandmasters now have 15 Match Points after eight rounds, with the first two slightly ahead with 73 Game Points, while the Grandmasters are on 72. Pipers and Grandmasters had a chance of taking sole lead on Thursday as they were scheduled to play two matches each. Ganges Grandmasters began the day with a convincing 12-4 win over the Alpine APL Pipers with black pieces but went down 13-5 in the last game against the American Gambits. Pipers went on to beat PBG Alaskan Knights 11-6, and CheQ Mumba Masters kept their chances of making the final alive with a 14-5 win over Triveni Continental Kings. They now have 12 Match Points and 73 Game Points to show for their effort. The day began with the Ganges Grandmasters beating the Pipers without dropping a game. Stavroula Tsolakidou began the Grandmasters march by inflicting a second loss of the tournament on Koneru Humpy. On the Superstar mens board, two-time World Cup winner Levon Aronian turned the tables on Anish Giri by making the most of an additional knight in the endgame to win in 61 moves. I got lucky, very lucky. But I always believed that I could find the best moves despite playing very badly at the start. Maybe not losing the game was what I deserved, but winning, of course, is a huge luck, said Aronian, who was also adjudged the Player of the Match. Aronian made it a double when he defeated Nihal Sarin of FYERS American Gambits in the last match of the day, but his team lost four of the six matches and surrendered the advantage. On the icon board, Candidates 2026 winner Javokhir Sindarov defeated Ian Nepomniachtchi, Daniil Dubov outplayed Leinier Dominguez Perez, Bibisara Assaubayeva handed Polina Shuvalova her first loss of the competition, and MarcAndrea Maurizzi claimed three points after Luke Leon Mendonca ran out of time on the prodigy board.

Koneru Humpy then registered her fourth win of the tournament, handing Nino Batsiashvili her first loss of Season 4. Volodar Murzin then defeated Abhimanyu Mishra on the prodigy board in a time scramble to put the result beyond doubt. Only 15-year-old Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus managed to score four points for a win with black for the Alaskan Knights as Vidit Gujrathi ran out of time on the Superstar mens board. In the days other match, CheQ Mumba Masters kept their hopes of reaching the final alive with a thumping win over Triveni Continental Kings.

On the icon board, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave outplayed Alireza Firouzja, and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov defeated Aravindh Chithambaram on the Superstar mens board. With Bardiya Daneshvar also winning on the prodigy board, the Mumba Masters took their game points tally to 73 from 8 matches with four wins.
BJP slams Congress, Karnataka govt for defying Vande Mataram legislation
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) BJP National Spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on Thursday slammed the Congress and its government in Karnataka for going against a legislation passed by Parliament that stipulates rendering all the paragraphs in Vande Mataram as penned by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee when sung at any government programmes or official functions. Pointing out that state songs in Opposition-ruled states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu also mention bowing before the motherland, he sought to know if raising issues over the National Song does not mean surrendering before extremist and secessionist forces. Congress stands alienated from its alliance partners on the issue of singing Vande Mataram, with only the Muslim League standing in its support, alleged the BJP leader. Trivedi was referring to the Congress recently criticising even its ally National Conference over the singing of the full version of the National Song at the inauguration of the International Film Festival of Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference leader and state Chief Minister Omar Abdullah reacted, saying it is now a statutory requirement and has to be followed. Trivedi also hit out at the Karnataka government for passing an order directing that only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram be sung at official events in the state. Every citizen of India knows that no state Assembly can pass a law against a legislation passed by Parliament, he stressed. This (state order) is not illegal and comical but also mirrors the inherent character of the Congress party that it wants to keep the Constitution in its pocket, he charged. He also recalled a comment from Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) National General Secretary Elyas Muhammad Thumbe that they had an understanding with the Congress during the 2018 Karnataka Assembly elections to avoid a split in minority votes. Since he made this statement in the 2023 state polls, the BJP has targeted the Congress for alleged links with the controversial outfit. Adding that the Congress party has denied this, Trivedi pointed out that SDPI, the alleged political arm of the banned Islamist organisation Popular Front of India (PFI), first spoke of contesting 100 Assembly seats, then 54 and then contested in only 16 seats and fought so valiantly that it lost all, and even had their security deposit forfeited. This, he insisted, strengthened doubts about a tacit poll understanding between the two. Trivedi pointed to Karnatakas song hailing the state as mother, as did the state song of Tamil Nadu. This dichotomy shows the opposition is not over social or religious issues, but rather goes to show total surrender before extremism and secessionism and the Muslim League, he claimed. He also took a swipe at the state leadership of the Congress in Kerala, where the party is now in power, heading an alliance. In Kerala, incumbent Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan on 7 February, 2026, according to media reports, gave a statement that he has no reservation about getting the support of JamaateIslami there and is openly running a government with the Muslim League, he added. The Congress party has taken a rigid stance on singing only the first two paragraphs of the song at all party events, citing it as a decision made in 1937 as advised by Rabindranath Tagore. This has been a subject of controversy, with the BJP terming it an act of appeasement and a violation of law.

GCL Season 4: Alpine Pipers win one, lose one to go on top
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 10 (IANS) Defending champions Alpine APL Pipers stormed back in style after losing the opening match of the day to beat PBG Alaskan Knights 11-6 to take the top spot in Season 4 of the Global Chess League (GCL) in Bengaluru on Thursday. However, Ganges Grandmasters or FYERS American Gambits can grab that top position from them at the end of the day when they face each other in the last match on Thursday. Ganges Grandmasters began the day with a convincing 12-4 win over the Pipers with black pieces, and CheQ Mumba Masters kept their chances alive with a 14-5 win over Triveni Continental Kings 14-5. With Ganges Grandmasters and Alpine APL Pipers both set to play two matches on Thursday, the opening clash between the two teams was extremely important in setting the tone for the day. Ganges Grandmasters showed why they are considered one of the strong title contenders this year by beating the Pipers without dropping a game. Stavroula Tsolakidou began the Grandmasters march by inflicting a second loss of the tournament on Koneru Humpy. On the Superstar mens board, two-time World Cup winner Levon Aronian turned the tables on Anish Giri by making the most of an additional knight in the endgame to win in 61 moves. I got lucky, very lucky. But I always believed that I could find the best moves despite playing very badly at the start. Maybe not losing the game was what I deserved, but winning, of course, is a huge luck, said Aronian, who was also adjudged the Player of the Match. However, Pipers bounced back immediately after the reversal with world number one Magnus Carlsen proving too strong for Viswanathan Anand with white pieces. Koneru Humpy then registered her fourth win of the tournament, handing Nino Batsiashvili her first loss of Season 4. Volodar Murzin then defeated Abhimanyu Mishra on the prodigy board in a time scramble to put the result beyond doubt. Only 15-year-old Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus managed to score four points for a win with black for the Alaskan Knights as Vidit Gujrathi ran out of time on the Superstar mens board. In the days other match, CheQ Mumba Masters kept their hopes of reaching the final alive with a thumping win over Triveni Continental Kings. Playing black, the Mumba Masters won three of the six games, with Alexandra Kosteniuk winning the only game for the Continental Kings. On the icon board, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave outplayed Alireza Firouzja, and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov defeated Aravindh Chithambaram on the Superstar mens board. With Bardiya Daneshvar also winning on the prodigy board, the Mumba Masters took their game points tally to 73 from 8 matches with four wins.

BRICS Summit: Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum, Amrit Udyan shut from Sep 11 to 13
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) In view of security, logistical arrangements and the focus on decongesting central Delhi for the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit, the Rashtrapati Bhavan Museum and Amrit Udyan will remain closed for visitors from September 11 to 13, said an official on Thursday. The Change of Guard Ceremony will also not take place at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan on Saturday, said the official in a statement. The closure is part of an effort to minimise inconvenience to BRICS delegates and avoid congestion on roads by restricting public visitors to areas close to the Summit venue. The Delhi Metro has also decided to keep its museum at the Supreme Court metro station closed for three days starting Friday. While the Delhi government had earlier declared a holiday for its offices on September 11, the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions issued an official circular declaring a holiday for Central government offices on that day. Earlier, the Delhi Traffic Police informed the public about a change in dates for official work and legal cases in courts, especially those situated near the BRICS Summit venue at Bharat Mandapam. The traffic police advisory said that a National Lok Adalat that was scheduled to be held on September 12 in courts will now be organised on October 10. Since subordinate courts will observe a holiday on September 11 and 12, the advisory said that cases listed on these two dates will now be listed on September 14. The traffic police said that litigants should check the new date of their court case or Lok Adalat before leaving their homes and avoid an unnecessary journey to the high-security and traffic-regulated zone. Ahead of the international event, the Delhi Traffic Police have been conducting rehearsals for traffic movement during the Summit. As part of the traffic management drill for the events from September 11 to 13, the Traffic Police have planned diversions at 22 points with regulated traffic movement on more than 35 roads. During the trial runs, the traffic police enforced curbs and diversions between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a Motor Carcade Rehearsal ahead of the BRICS Business Forum and the 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit. September 12 and 13, being a Saturday and Sunday, are expected to be relatively less challenging for traffic managers who are handling Summit-related arrangements. The traffic police have urged citizens and cab service providers to go through the advisory issued for routes where movement will be restricted, in view of the upcoming BRICS Summit in the national capital. Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dinesh Kumar Gupta said that advisories are being shared with the public through the Delhi Police website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and print media so that the public does not face inconvenience during the movement. We have 22 diversion points in place, under which we will divert the traffic from designated points. We have also briefed our staff to guide people, wherever needed, regarding the diverted routes, he added.

Jharkhand HC seeks responses from ISPs over internet disruptions in Ranchi
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 10 (IANS) Taking a serious view of the disruption of internet services in several areas of Ranchi during a drive to remove the web of internet and cable wires from electricity poles, the Jharkhand High Court has sought responses from all internet service providers and directed the immediate restoration of affected connections. Hearing a public interest litigation registered suo motu on Thursday, a division bench of Chief Justice M.S. Sonak and Justice Rajesh Shankar asked the service providers to furnish details on the dates when connections were disconnected, the areas affected, the number of connections severed, and the number of services restored so far. The bench also directed them to submit a compliance report after restoring the disrupted services. During the hearing on Thursday, senior officials of the Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd (JBVNL), including CMD Srinivasan, along with representatives of BSNL, Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea, appeared before the court in person. The bench sought a status report from all telecom operators regarding the disruption and restoration of internet services. The court observed that internet services for citizens could not remain disrupted indefinitely due to the ongoing exercise to remove cables from electric poles. In an oral observation, the bench remarked that a misunderstanding of the courts order had caused unnecessary inconvenience to the public. The High Court also expressed strong displeasure over the conduct of BSNL Chief General Manager (CGM) Vipul Agrawal. In connection with allegations that he spoke inappropriately to a High Court official over a phone call, the bench directed him to submit an unconditional written apology by September 14. During the proceedings, counsels representing BSNL and Jio informed the court that the internet line serving the High Court had already been restored. They also assured the bench that internet connectivity for public utility services and private consumers affected by the drive would be restored at the earliest. The matter has been posted for further hearing on September 16.

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

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

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

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

Duleep Trophy: Kishan, Quraishi Shine As East Zone Clinch Title, End 13-year Wait
Md Kounain Quraishi: East Zone clinched the Duleep Trophy for the third time on Thursday after overcoming South Zone via first innings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. The triumph also meant East Zone ended a 13-year drought to win the prestigious title, its last win coming in the 201213 season. Resuming their second innings on the final day, East Zone rode on a maiden first-class century from Md Kounain Quraishi (116 not out off 190 balls) and a half-century from Anukul Roy (64) before declaring at 388/7 in 99.2 overs. Once the declaration was done, the Ishan Kishan-led East Zone set off into immediate celebrations over winning the title. The contest had tilted decisively in East Zone's favour after posting a mammoth 708 in their first innings, built around captain Ishan Kishans monumental 270 and 101 made by Kumar Kushagra. Kishan followed up his double century with 80 in the second innings, and took his match tally to 350 runs. Jharkhands emerging talents played a pivotal role in East Zones triumphant run. Apart from Kushagra, Shikhar Mohan produced an impressive 85 on his Duleep Trophy debut and continued the strong touch he has displayed in the last domestic season. The duo, along with Kishan, ensured that Jharkhands influence remained central to East Zones title victory. Earlier in the morning, Quraishi and Roy extended their seventh-wicket partnership to 150 runs, and pushed East Zones total beyond the 700-run mark. South Zone were penalised five runs in the 73rd over due to an unacceptably slow over-rate, following a prolonged discussion between the match officials and South Zone captain Tilak Varma. Quraishi eventually brought up his maiden first-class century in the 96th over by driving pacer CV Milind towards extra cover for two runs to reach the three-figure mark. The young batter removed his helmet and raised his arms to celebrate as his teammates lauded him with a standing ovation from the balcony. Quraishi capped his milestone in the following over by striking back-to-back sixes off spinner Tripurana Vijay over mid-wicket and long-on. From the other end, Roy completed a patient half-century by steering Shaik Rasheed through point for a single in the 89th over. Roys resistance ended when he was caught at slip by Devdutt Padikkal off MD Nidheesh for 64, after pushing loosely at a length delivery outside off-stump. After Quraishi chipped a delivery from Milind safely down to mid-on off the second ball of the 100th over, skipper Kishan officially signalled the declaration from the pavilion. The umpires immediately removed the bails to conclude the final, thus confirming East Zone as the new champions.

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

People think living a glamorous life means you've never faced hardship, but one cannot build resilience on fluff. During his stint on the show, Orry participated in several challenging stunts and pushed himself through difficult tasks. Reflecting on his determination, he said, You don't face your fears like this if your life was always easy and smooth sailing.

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

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

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