SC stresses institutional overhaul of NTA to prevent exam paper leaks
New Delhi, Aug 19:The Supreme Court on Wednesday stressed the need to institutionalise and strengthen the National Testing Agency (NTA), saying the agency must have adequate infrastructure, experienced manpower and advanced technology to prevent question paper leaks and ensure examinations are conducted smoothly. Bar and Bench reported that the Bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe, hearing petitions arising from the NEET question paper leak controversy, said the court was concerned with building a vibrant institution that could retain institutional expertise and keep pace with technological changes. Our duty is to ensure that there is a vibrant institution that the country can be proud of. If you dont institutionalise, experienced people get transferred and the entire experience is lost. There are a lot of technological changes that have to be brought about, the Bench observed. The court directed the Centre to file an affidavit detailing the progress made in implementing the recommendations of the Radhakrishnan Committee, constituted after the NEET-UG controversy in 2024, as well as reforms suggested by the Nandan Nilekani Committee this year. The Bench said its concern was not merely about the existing safeguards but about creating a permanent institutional framework for conducting examinations. Our concern is how you institutionalise the conduct of the examination - secure office premises, confidential operational infrastructure, cyber security, the court said. It also referred to recommendations for creating specialised verticals for testing centres, central network operations and other functions, besides developing research and development infrastructure, a sovereign database, and stronger cybersecurity mechanisms. The court emphasised the need to preserve institutional memory and institutional expertise, noting that examination systems and technology keep changing. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, told the Bench that several safeguards had already been introduced to iron-fence the examination process. He explained that question papers undergo multiple stages of moderation and selection, are printed under CCTV and CISF surveillance, transported in GPS-tracked vehicles and stored in secure bank strong rooms. The Solicitor General said the process involved sealed question-paper boxes, strict access controls and videography at various stages, with question papers opened only immediately before examinations. The petitions before the court include pleas seeking restructuring or replacement of the NTA, shifting NEET-UG to a computer-based test (CBT) format, digital locking of question papers and publication of centre-wise results to identify anomalies. One of the petitions has also sought the creation of an independent statutory national testing authority with greater oversight and parliamentary accountability. The Supreme Court had dealt with allegations of a NEET-UG paper leak in 2024 and declined to order a nationwide re-examination, while directing reforms in the examination system. The issue has again come under judicial scrutiny following fresh concerns over examination security. The court has now directed the Centre to file a detailed affidavit on the steps taken to implement the committee recommendations. The matter will be heard again after three weeks.
CM Omar sees deeper US-J&K engagement ahead
Srinagar, Aug 19:Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said his meeting with US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, opened the possibility of a broader engagement between the United States and Jammu and Kashmir, with discussions focusing on India-US relations and areas where Washington could contribute to J&K. Speaking to reporters after meeting Gor at his Gupkar residence, CM Omar described the interaction as a very good meeting and said the discussions, while covering the wider relationship between New Delhi and Washington, had a specific focus on J&K. It was a very good meeting. We had an opportunity to discuss the relations between our two countries, but with a specific focus on what the US can do with Jammu and Kashmir, he said. The CM indicated that the meeting was not limited to a general exchange on diplomatic relations, but also explored the scope for greater US engagement with Jammu and Kashmir in the years ahead. He acknowledged that there were certain legacy issues which would require time and continued engagement, but said he was keen to carry the conversation forward. There are obviously certain legacy issues that over time we will be working to resolve. But we look forward to taking this conversation further, CM Omar said. He said the dialogue would now have to continue at two levels between Ambassador Gor and Washington on one side, and between the J&K government and the Government of India in New Delhi on the other. This is a conversation that will take place both between Ambassador Gor and Washington, and between me and the Government of India in New Delhi, the CM said. He expressed confidence that the interaction could develop into a sustained engagement, saying he was very hopeful and optimistic that relations between the United States and J&K would widen and deepen in the coming years. The meeting assumed significance as Gors visit marked a high-level US diplomatic engagement with J&K after a considerable gap. Before the meeting, CM Omar had said he intended to discuss the situation in the region with the visiting ambassador, while making it clear that he would not use the interaction to raise internal grievances against the Centre. It is after a very long time that a US ambassador is visiting Jammu and Kashmir. For me personally, it has been a long time since I met any American ambassador. Let him come; we will sit and talk, he had said earlier in the day. The CM also indicated that he would approach the meeting as a two-way conversation, saying he expected the US envoy to listen to his perspective but that he was equally interested in hearing Gors views. Let him come; we will sit and talk, he had said, adding that he would prefer to listen more even as the ambassador was also coming to listen. However, CM Omar drew a clear line between discussing Jammu and Kashmir and seeking Washingtons intervention in J&Ks internal political or administrative matters. He said he did not believe such issues should be taken up as complaints before a representative of another country. It has never been my habit to lodge complaints about my country to an ambassador of another country, the CM said. He argued that the resolution of J&Ks internal issues ultimately rests with the Government of India and not Washington. The resolution to our issues will not come from Washington; the resolution to our problems lies with our central government, CM Omar said. He said he would therefore discuss Jammu and Kashmir and its prevailing circumstances with the US envoy, but would neither use the meeting to complain about the country nor seek solutions to internal grievances from the United States. I believe it would be very inappropriate to complain about our country to an ambassador of another country. That is not my habit, the CM said. He has repeatedly pressed the Centre to fulfil its commitment on restoration of Jammu and Kashmirs statehood. The issue remains one of the principal political demands of the National Conference-led government. Wednesdays meeting, however, appears to have been positioned by CM Omar as an opportunity to explore areas of cooperation and engagement rather than an attempt to internationalise issues concerning J&K.

J&K important part of India: US envoy
Srinagar, Aug 19: United States Ambassador to India Sergio Gor on Wednesday indicated that Washington may review its travel advisory for Jammu & Kashmir, citing improved security conditions and describing the region as an important part of India. Gor made the remarks during his maiden visit to Kashmir since taking charge as the 27th US ambassador to India in January 2026. He arrived in Srinagar and met Chief Minister Omar Abdullah at his residence on Gupkar Road amid full media glare. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Gor said the United States regularly reviews its travel warnings and that the advisory concerning J&K could be reconsidered. The US puts out travel warnings and every so often we re-evaluatethose travel warnings.I cannot make any big announcements today, but it is something we are going to look at, he said. The US envoy said New Delhi, the J&K administration and the local government had taken significant steps to improve the security situation. We willbe looking to see if the travel warning that is imposed and recommended by the US is something thatshould be downgraded, he said. Calling Kashmir a beautiful destination, Gor added that many Americans would enjoy visiting the region and exploring its beauty and opportunity. The United States has maintained travel advisories for J&K for decades amid security concerns since 1989. In June 2025, following the India-Pakistan military confrontation after Operation Sindoor, the US had listed Kashmir among high-risk areas and advised its citizens against travelling to the region. Gor described his meeting with Omar Abdullah as very good and cordial and said there would be follow-up discussions in Washington and New Delhi. We just had a very good meeting. We have some follow-ups, so we hope to take that back to Washington, back to Delhi, he said. The ambassador also made a significant reference to Jammu and Kashmirs status, saying, It is a pleasure to be here. This is an important part of India, and some of us are visiting for the first time. Gor said he was thrilled to be in Kashmir and praised the region for its natural beauty. The US envoy is scheduled to travel to Ladakh on Thursday after spending the night in Kashmir. CM Omar Abdullah said the meeting focused on India-US relations, particularly the scope for greater American engagement with J&K. We had an opportunity to discuss relations between the two countries with a specific focus on what the US can do in J&K. There are certain legacy issues that over time we will be working to resolve, he said. The Chief Minister expressed hope that engagement between Jammu and Kashmir and the United States would expand in the coming years. But we look forward to taking this conversation further. This is a conversation that will take place both between Gor and Washington and me and the government of India in New Delhi. But we are hopeful and optimistic that the engagement between the USA and J&K will widen and deepen in the years ahead, he said. Earlier, Abdullah had said he would discuss the situation in Jammu and Kashmir with Gor but ruled out taking up internal political issues with the US representative, saying such matters could only be resolved by the Government of India. Gors visit assumes significance as it comes amid efforts to deepen India-US engagement and growing calls within Kashmirs tourism sector for the relaxation of international travel advisories. However, the envoy did not announce any immediate change in the US advisory, making it clear that Washington would first review the existing warning before taking a decision.

A smart cancer drug activating primarily in cancer cells could replace chemotherapy
New Delhi, Aug 19: A new smart cancer drug designed to switch on and work only inside cancer cells can replace traditional chemotherapy, which in many cases also harms healthy cells. Cancer treatment often damages healthy cells along with cancer cells, causing significant associated adverse effects and side effects. This has created a need for targeted therapies that remain inactive in normal tissues while it travels through the body and become activated specifically at tumor sites. Scientists have taken an important step toward making this idea a reality. Collaborative research led by Dr. Asis Bala from the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST), an Autonomous Institute under the Department of Science & Technology (Govt. of India), and Dr. K.P. Bhabak from the Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati has developed a new smart cancer drug called RK-251. RK-251 is designed to activate primarily in cancer cells and does not harm healthy cells. Cancer cells often produce high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are harmful molecules. When RK-251 enters a cancer cell, the high ROS levels trigger the drug's activation, releasing a powerful anticancer compound called NBDHEX. This compound blocks target proteins that many cancer cells use to survive and resist treatment. In preclinical studies, RK-251 showed strong activity against aggressive triple-negative breast cancer cells, with much less effect on healthy cells. The behavioral study of the developed candidate drug in zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) also showed no obvious signs of toxicity and exhibited the desired fluorescence in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting the drug may be safe for further research and validation. More studies are needed before this technology can be tested in patients.
