'Heartbreaking news': J'Khand CM Soren mourns passing away of Minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu
Ranchi, Sep 6 (IANS) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday mourned the death of state minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu, describing him as an elder brother whose departure had left a void in his life that could not be expressed in words. In a post on X, Soren said he received the heartbreaking news of Sudivya Kumar Sonus passing late at night and described the news as extremely difficult to accept. Sonu Bhaiya was not just a senior colleague or political associate to me. He was like an elder brother -- affectionate, guiding, and steadfastly standing by my side in every difficult time, Soren wrote, adding that the moments spent with him and the lessons learned from him would always remain with him. Recalling Sonus association with the Jharkhand movement, the Chief Minister said he had stood with full devotion and strength alongside the late Baba Dishom Guruji. He further stated that as a dedicated soldier of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Sonu devoted his life to the struggle for Jharkhands identity, rights and pride. His dedication to Jharkhandiyat and his indomitable spirit will always be remembered, Soren wrote. He added, Sonu Bhaiya, your passing is a personal loss for me. Your absence will always be felt. I will carry your affection, your struggles, and your commitment to Jharkhand with me for life. JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey described the ministers death as deeply sorrowful and deeply painful, saying his untimely departure had created a void in Jharkhand politics that would be difficult to fill. He termed it an immense loss for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and prayed for peace for his soul. Leader of Opposition in the Jharkhand Assembly Babulal Marandi also expressed shock over the sudden death. Marandi said he initially found the news difficult to believe after learning about it through media reports, before confirming it through his contacts in Giridih. Even though Sudivya Sonu belonged to a different political party, he was from our town, and we had known each other since the beginning, Marandi said, describing him as quite popular and calling his sudden death a shock to his family, society and everyone who knew him. Congress leader Rajesh Thakur described the death as very tragic and said Sudivya Kumar was a close associate. He recalled speaking with him just two or three days ago when the minister was in Bengaluru on an exposure visit related to tourism. Meanwhile, Dr Shahzad Sheikh said the minister was brought to the hospital at around 2:15 am after experiencing chest pain for about two hours. The doctor said he had aspirated after vomiting, requiring immediate intubation to secure his airway. An ECG showed signs of a heart attack, while his blood pressure was unrecordable, the doctor said. Inotropes and vasopressors were started, but around 10 to 15 minutes later, the patient collapsed, and CPR was initiated. Sudivya Kumar Sonu, who held several key portfolios in the Jharkhand government, passed away despite medical efforts. His death has triggered widespread mourning across Giridih and Jharkhand, with political leaders, party workers, officials and members of the public expressing grief over his sudden demise.

America's Costliest Labor Day: Iran War Sends Prices Soaring, Gas Surges $4, Trump Faces Backlash
Americans are heading into Labor Day with gasoline prices at potentially record-breaking levels. The national average is around $4.14 per gallon, nearly 95 cents higher than last year, as Middle East conflict disrupts global energy flows, Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries tighten fuel supplies, and inflation continues to pressure household budgets.AAA expects gas prices to remain above $4 a gallon through Labor Day, potentially breaking the previous holiday record of $3.83 set in 2012.The surge is also creating a political headache for President Donald Trump, who campaigned on lowering energy costs. With the November midterm elections approaching, Americans are feeling the impact directly at the pump and for many families, higher gasoline prices could mean less money for food, travel and everyday expenses.

Train services normal on New Farakka Line in Bengal after over 65 hours (Lead)
Kolkata, Sep 5 (IANS) The normal train services on the repaired railways track along the New Farakka Line in West Bengal's Murshidabad district have finally become normal on Saturday night after continued disruption for more than 65 hours following a landslide along the railway tracks there two days ago. The repair work for the damaged railways tracks because of the landslide started since Thursday. However, the repair works were hindered to a great extent because of the two related hindrance factors of incessant rainfall in the area making the soil at the repair site unstable and waterlogged. Finally on Saturday morning the repair works were completed to a satisfactory level and thereafter the trial run started. The train run was completed successfully by Saturday evening following which the railway's technical officers found the track to be fit for resuming normal train services. An officer of the Indian Railway confirmed that normal train services have resumed on the New Farakka line reestablishing railways connections between South Bengal and North Bengal. Since Thursday, several long-distance trains connecting South Bengal and North Bengal were cancelled. The routes of many of the trains were also diverted. There has been no fresh rainfall in the area since Saturday morning. A 'power block' was implemented on Saturday to expedite repair work, as it was the only way to remove the collapsed railway tracks and carry out the necessary repairs. Consequently, repair work near New Farakka station progressed rapidly. Later on Saturday, the Railways conducted a trial run on the line. Work on repairing the overhead wires commenced immediately after the successful trial run and was completed smoothly by late Saturday afternoon. Shivram Maji, the Chief Public Relations Officer of Eastern Railway, said that train services on the line have since returned to normal. During any natural disaster, the top priorities of the Indian Railways are ensuring passenger safety, quick restoration of services, and providing assistance to affected passengers, he added. Eastern Railway officers claimed that the officers and staff engaged in the track repair process had done a commendable job considering the two related hindrance factors that incessant rainfall in the area hampered the repair progress, as the soil at the repair site remained unstable and waterlogged. The disruption also led to a sharp increase in demand for private bus services between Kolkata and Siliguri, with fares reportedly rising from around Rs 1,500 on normal days to between Rs 5,000 and Rs 6,000 over the past few days.
Boman Irani on 100th year birth celebrations of Uttam Kumar: What a face, what a personality
Mumbai, Sep 5 (IANS) Bollywood actor Boman Irani spoke about the 100th-year birth celebrations of the legendary Uttam Kumar. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Boman said that an incredible artist like Uttam Kumar should be celebrated for years and years to come to inspire the coming generation of artists. Taking a trip down memory lane, he said that they were introduced to the legend as youngsters through the popular Bengali and Hindi bilingual drama 'Amanush', which was made under the direction of Shakti Samanta. Remembering Uttam Kumar, Boman said that one could fall in love with his smile and personality. He told IANS, 100 years, can you believe it, but in our minds as youngsters he will always be the beautiful Uttam Da, and you know we got introduced to Uttam Da in a Hindi film, Shakti Da's film 'Amanush'. I think it was also a Bengali film. When we were young, I remember seeing his work with Sharmila ji (Sharmila Tagore). I cannot tell you: what a face, what a smile, what a personality, what a great artist. We should be celebrating him for years and years so that young artist can be inspired by an actor like Uttam Da, Boman added. The 'The Mehta Boys' actor further said that he would be happy to do a Bengali language film if offered, as he believes that language is no bar in cinema. Considered one of the most successful actors in the history of Indian cinema, Uttam Kumar remained one of the most bankable stars in Bengali cinema from the 1950s throughout the 1970s, gaining the title of Mahanayak. In 1980, Uttam Kumar fell ill on the set of the movie 'Ogo Badhu Sundori'. Later that same evening, his health worsened while attending his friend's party. Suspecting an attack, he drove himself to the hospital. He passed away on 24 July 1980 at the age of 53.

40 teachers across Gujarat honoured with 'State Best Teacher' awards
Gandhinagar, Sep 5 (IANS) Forty teachers from across Gujarat were honoured with the 'State Best Teacher Award' on Saturday at a ceremony held to mark Teachers Day, recognising their contribution to education and the development of students. Governor Acharya Devvrat and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel presented the awards to the teachers at the state-level ceremony organised by the Education Department. The awardees received certificates of appreciation and cash prizes in recognition of their work. Teachers Day is observed across India on September 5 to commemorate the birth anniversary of former President and distinguished educationist Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Addressing the ceremony, Governor Acharya Devvrat extended his greetings to teachers and recalled the importance accorded to the Guru in Indias traditional culture. While a mother gives physical birth to a child, a Guru transforms a disciple by removing ignorance and showing the path of knowledge, he said. The Governor contrasted the emphasis of the education system introduced under Macaulay with the value-based approach of ancient Indian education. He said material prosperity and vocational knowledge alone could not ensure lasting happiness without humanity, compassion, service and devotion towards parents and Gurus. He pointed out that India had made significant contributions to fields including astronomy and mathematics since ancient times. While acknowledging the importance of technological and material knowledge in the present era, he stressed that moral values and knowledge of the self were equally necessary. Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye, the Governor said, referring to the principle that true knowledge liberates a person. He cautioned that education without values could contribute to social unrest and decline. Devvrat urged teachers to use a few minutes before their regular lessons each day to impart lessons on the art of living, patriotism, values and respect for parents. He said a balance between technology and culture was necessary to develop the next generation. Education Minister Pradyuman Vaja congratulated the award recipients and their families, saying the best teachers did more than educate children they inspired the coming generation. Vaja said teachers played an important role in developing values, quality, skills and curiosity among children. He described the award ceremony as an effort to honour knowledge and said a society that respected knowledge could progress and build a better nation. Recalling the lives and values of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and former President Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Vaja said: While Parliament and legislative assemblies made laws, teachers shaped the true future of the country in classrooms. He said the Gujarat government, under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, is working to provide quality education and facilities to children even in remote villages. He urged the education fraternity to ensure effective implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 and help children become capable, sensitive and self-reliant citizens. Earlier, CM Patel praised the service of the teachers receiving the awards and described teaching as a national duty. Teachers contributed to nation-building by shaping individuals, he noted. The Chief Minister also urged teachers to ensure that students were guided in the responsible use of technology while continuing to promote positive values through their speech, conduct and behaviour. Governor Devvrat, Chief Minister Patel, Education Minister Vaja and Minister of State, Rivaba Jadeja, paid floral tributes to Dr Radhakrishnan during the ceremony.
