Womens Asia Cup: 'We Are Always One Step Ahead': Deepti Dismisses Advantage Over Pakistan
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Indias off-spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma dismissed suggestions that past dominance grants her side an automatic psychological advantage over arch-rivals Pakistan ahead of their 2026 Women's Asia Cup Group A match on Saturday, adding that India are simply focusing on remaining one step ahead. Saturdays fixture at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium marks the 18th T20I encounter between the two nations, a rivalry heavily tilted in India's favour with 14 victories from 17 meetings. The sides last met at the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup in Birmingham, where India claimed a 64-run victory, thanks to Smriti Mandhana's 68 and a five-wicket haul from Sharma. Look, there is no such advantage. The only thing is that whatever we have won against them, whether it is the Asia Cup or any other matches, we are always one step ahead of them and that's it. The more we can play good cricket as a team against them, that's all we want, Deepti told reporters in the pre-match press conference. Having already secured a spot in the semifinals, seven-time champions India enter the contest in commanding form via wins over Thailand and Hong Kong China, though Deepti stated that putting collective performance and maintaining winning momentum remain the squad's primary focus. Look, the whole team is performing well. If you look at the bowling unit or the batting unit, if I talk about this game against Hong Kong China, I think both things were balanced. The one who has a good day, she tries to do better and take the game further. Those around her, they try to tell them positive things so that they step up more in their game. Our team is also good and their bowlers are also good. We know that, but we focus more on the strengths we have. As I said, we want to play a good brand of cricket - that's what we are focusing on. India's top order enters the fixture in prime form following Smriti Mandhana's record-breaking century against Hong Kong China, though the middle order will look for extended time at the crease. Pakistan, meanwhile, remain under pressure to address top-order batting vulnerabilities despite their recent victory over Thailand. Asked about prospective playing eleven adjustments for the clash, Deepti felt selection decisions are best left to the management. Look, I can't tell you what the lineup and all will be. That's the call of the management. We just want to play good cricket. As a bowling and batting unit, the team has been compact with the way we played in the last two games and that's the mindset we wish to maintain. India's top order enters the fixture in prime form following Smriti Mandhana's record-breaking century against Hong Kong China, though the middle order will look for extended time at the crease. Pakistan, meanwhile, remain under pressure to address top-order batting vulnerabilities despite their recent victory over Thailand. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories But whenever she gets a chance to bowl, she is always one step ahead and is always on the hunt to find breakthroughs for the team.

J&K Intern Doctors Deserve Justice: Advocate Maroof Khan Demands Stipend Hike to 30,000
Srinagar, September 4 : Political Youth Leader and Advocate Maroof Khan has strongly urged the J&K Government to immediately enhance the monthly stipend of MBBS intern doctors from 12,300 to 30,000, terming their demand legitimate, reasonable and fully justified. Khan said it is deeply unjust that young doctors working round the clock, undertaking night duties, responding to emergencies and providing essential patient care continue to receive such a meagre stipend. This is not merely about money; it is about rights, respect and dignity. Our young doctors serve society with commitment, compassion and pride. Those who stand beside patients through the night and dedicate themselves to saving lives deserve fair compensation and the dignity they have earned, Khan said. He said the demand for 30,000 per month is justified in view of their demanding workload, professional responsibilities, extended working hours and rising cost of living. Recalling the sacrifices of doctors and healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Khan said, When the world was gripped by fear and uncertainty, our doctors stood courageously on the frontline and risked their own safety to save lives. Their sacrifices must never be forgotten. Khan urged Honble Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Health & Medical Education Minister to personally intervene and resolve the long-pending issue without further delay. Our young doctors are not asking for charity; they are asking for justice. I stand firmly with them and will continue to raise their legitimate voice until this genuine demand is addressed, Khan said.

Monkey Man choreographer Brahim Chab shares BTS videos with Taapsee Pannu from Gandhari; watch
Taapsee Pannu is set to be seen in another physically demanding role with Gandhari, which features several intense action sequences. Adding an international connection to the films action is Brahim Chab, who worked as the fight choreographer on Monkey Man. Chab has been involved in designing and choreographing Taapsees combat sequences for Gandhari. Known for its raw and intense fight sequences, Monkey Man featured hard-hitting hand-to-hand combat. Chabs involvement in Gandhari brings a similar focus on detailed action choreography to Taapsees character. Recently, Chab shared behind-the-scenes videos from his action choreography sessions with Taapsee, offering a glimpse into the preparation that went into the films combat sequences. The footage shows Taapsee training and performing parts of the physically demanding choreography, highlighting the effort involved in bringing the action to screen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Brahim Fight Design (@brahimfightdesign) Taapsee has previously taken on several roles that required physical preparation, including Baby and Naam Shabana. However, Gandhari presents her with a different kind of challenge as the action is closely tied to her characters emotional journey. In the film, Taapsee plays a mother who sets out to find her kidnapped daughter. Her character is driven by emotions such as desperation and anger, making the action sequences an extension of her circumstances rather than simply physical confrontations. With Chab bringing his experience from Monkey Man to Gandhari, the films action choreography is expected to play an important role in Taapsees portrayal. The newly shared BTS footage provides audiences with a closer look at her preparation and the physical work involved in bringing the character and its action sequences to life.

HH Pujya Mahant Swami Maharaj leads BAPS events for Paris temple launch
THE spiritual leader of BAPS, His Holiness Pujya Mahant Swami Maharaj, arrived in Bussy-SaintGeorges, France, last Saturday (29) ahead of the inauguration of a new temple on Sunday (6). His arrival marks the start of the Paris Mandir Mahotsav, a 13- day cultural festival organised around the opening of the BAPS Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir, a statement said. HH Pujya Mahant Swami Maharaj visited the newly completed mandir and the 10-acre festival site, known as Swaminarayan Village, set up for the celebrations. Devotees and volunteers from Europe and around the world gathered to greet him. He was formally welcomed by members of the BAPS Board of Trustees for the UK and Europe, the leadership of the BAPS Paris Mandir and others involved in the construction of the mandir and organisation of the festival. The temple was crafted in India and assembled in France. BAPS said it will be not only a place of worship, but also a centre for learning, culture and service, welcoming people from different faiths and backgrounds. More than 10,000 people are expected to visit during the festival, which will feature religious ceremonies, cultural programmes and activities for families. A Nagar Yatra procession will be held on Saturday (5), beginning at the Eiffel Tower and travelling through central Paris with more than 5,000 participants and performers. Traditional music and dance and 14 decorated floats showcasing Indian culture and values will be part of the event. Eleven decorated boats will travel along the River Seine on Thursday (3) as part of a ceremony highlighting Hindu traditions and India-France ties. BAPS began its activities in France in 1970. During the Covid-19 pandemic, its volunteers in Paris supported local communities by distributing food and essential items to elderly people, those in need and frontline workers. Paris-based volunteers later joined BAPS teams from the UK, US and elsewhere in Europe in responding to the humanitarian crisis following Russias invasion of Ukraine.

Shri Krishna Janmashtami Shobha Yatra taken out in Jammu
A day ahead of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, the J&K Dharmarth Trust on Thursday organised a grand and impressive Shobha Yatra, commencing from the iconic Shri Raghunath Ji temple in the heart of Jammu city. The Shobha Yatra was organised in collaboration with the Sanatan Dharm Sabha and Dharmik Yuvak Mandal. The procession featured beautifully decorated tableaux (Jhankis) depicting various significant episodes and important moments from the life of Lord Krishna, drawing large crowds of devotees and citizens along the route. The Shobha Yatra commenced after the Murti Poojan at Shri Raghunath Ji temple, which was attended by MLA Yudhvir Sethi, former minister Priya Sethi, former minister Ajay Sadhotra, president of Shri Sanatan Dharam Sabha Parshotam Kumar Dadeechi, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Jammu, Arun Gupta, president of J&K Dharmarth Trust Dr P S Pathania and secretary of the Trust Ashok Kumar Sharma, retired IPS. Thereafter, Rath Poojan and Dhwajarohan ceremonies were performed before the Shobha Yatra set off from the temple premises. The procession passed through several prominent markets and thoroughfares of Jammu, including Veer Marg, Shahidi Chowk, Rajinder Bazar, Kanak Mandi, City Chowk, Old Hospital Road, Purani Mandi, Link Road, Jain Bazar, Chowk Chabutra, Pacca Danga, Moti Bazar, Geeta Bhawan, Ranbireshwar Temple, Shalamar Road, City Chowk and Raghunath Bazar, before finally culminating at Shri Raghunath Ji temple. Thousands of devotees, along with prominent citizens, political leaders and representatives of various social and religious organisations, participated in the Shobha Yatra with great enthusiasm and devotion. Members of the Muslim community also accorded a warm and cordial welcome to the Yatra at various places enroute, reflecting the spirit of communal harmony, mutual respect and brotherhood that characterises Jammu's rich cultural ethos. Speaking on the occasion, president of the Dharmarth Trust, Dr P S Pathania, extended his greetings to the people on the auspicious occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami. He prayed that the sacred festival would usher in peace, progress and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir. Dr Pathania said that festivals formed an integral part of India's glorious cultural and spiritual heritage and play an important role in strengthening communal harmony, brotherhood and social cohesion. Such celebrations, he added, help reinforce the spirit of mutual respect and further enrich the secular and inclusive ethos of society. He prayed for peace, prosperity and the well-being of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Secretary of the Dharmarth Trust said that the Dharmarth Trust, under the patronage of its chairman trustee Dr Karan Singh and the trustees, remained committed to preserving and promoting Jammu and Kashmir's rich religious, cultural and spiritual heritage. He said that festivals such as Shri Krishna Janmashtami provide an opportunity for people to come together, celebrate their shared cultural traditions and strengthen the bonds of unity and brotherhood. The Secretary appreciated the collective efforts of the Sanatan Dharm Sabha, Dharmik Yuvak Mandal, volunteers, devotees, civil administration and police authorities for ensuring the smooth and successful conduct of the Shobha Yatra. Elaborate security and traffic arrangements were put in place by the district administration and Jammu Police across the city to ensure the smooth and peaceful conduct of the religious procession. Senior police officers remained present at various locations along the route and supervised the security arrangements to ensure that the event remained orderly, safe and incident-free.
Rajwar Handwara advocates protest dilapidated Handwara-Rajwar road
Handwara, Sep 3:Advocates from the Rajwar area of north Kashmir's Kupwara district on Thursday held a peaceful protest at Mian Chowk Handwara against the poor condition of the Handwara-Rajwar road, demanding immediate macadamization of the road. The protesters said that residents of dozens of villages in Upper and Lower Rajwar continue to face difficulties due to the deteriorating road, despite repeated assurances and claims of progress by the authorities. People have been suffering for years because of the poor road condition. We need concrete action on the ground, not just assurances and announcements, said Advocate Imran of Rajpora Rajwar. We want permanent macadamization of the road, which unfortunately has not been carried out for the last twelve years, due to which people from dozens of villages continue to suffer, said another protesting advocate of the area. The advocates urged the concerned authorities to expedite repair and improvement work on the road to provide safe and reliable connectivity to the residents of Rajwar. Meanwhile, an official of the Roads and Buildings (R&B) Division Handwara told Greater Kashmir that a tender worth Rs 49 lakh has recently been allotted to a contractor to carry out the necessary repairs until a permanent solution is made. He said that repair work on the road will be carried out soon.
Unchecked speeding tippers continue to pose threat to commuters in Srinagar
Two fatal road accidents within 48 hours, including one involving a speeding tipper at Bemina, have once again brought the menace of speeding heavy vehicles into focus, with commuters demanding stricter enforcement against tippers during evening and late-night hours, alongside sustained action against reckless driving by other motorists. On Tuesday evening, a scooty rider was killed after his two-wheeler collided with a tipper near Government Degree College Bemina. Police said the rider died on the spot from the deadly impact. The tragedy was followed by another fatal road accident on Thursday when 28-year-old research scholar Altaf Hussain Daded of Sangerwani, Pulwama, died after apparently losing control of his motorcycle and crashing into a shop at Shiraz Chowk in Khanyar. The back-to-back deaths have once again sparked concern over road safety and the need for stricter enforcement against dangerous driving. Residents said the Bemina accident has once again exposed the risks posed by speeding tippers, which continue to ply city roads after peak traffic hours despite repeated accidents and public complaints. Once evening sets in, many of these heavy vehicles move at alarming speeds. Smaller vehicles hardly get any space, and pedestrians are left frightened. Every day feels like a risk, said Irfan Bhat, a commuter from Bemina. Pedestrians said major roads in uptown Srinagar witness frequent movement of tippers and other heavy vehicles during evening and night hours, making daily commuting increasingly unsafe. We often step away from the roadside whenever these vehicles approach because many appear to be speeding. Drivers seldom slow down even in busy stretches. It only takes a moment for a tragedy to happen, said Shabir Ahmad, a pedestrian from Chanapora. Commuters alleged that apart from overspeeding, some heavy vehicles continue to operate with obscured or missing registration plates, making it difficult to identify offenders after accidents. People have been highlighting these violations for years. Some vehicles are seen with mud-covered number plates or plates that are barely visible. Enforcement should be consistent instead of being limited to a few days after a major accident, said Irfan Ahmad, a cab driver from Hyderpora. Greater Kashmir has, over the years, carried a series of reports highlighting concerns over speeding tippers, overloaded heavy vehicles and attempts by some drivers to conceal registration plates to evade enforcement. Previous incidents had also triggered public concern and demands for stricter regulation. Residents said the latest deaths also point to a broader problem of dangerous driving that extends beyond heavy vehicles. The Khanyar incident is equally tragic. Whether it is a tipper or a motorcycle, roads have become fatal. Authorities need to act firmly against rash driving, while parents must also ensure minors are not allowed to ride on public roads, said Mohammad Yaqoob, a resident of Downtown. Many commuters also called for stricter checks on underage driving, saying minors operating motorcycles and scooters have become a common sight in several city areas, putting both themselves and others at risk. A senior Traffic Police officer earlier said enforcement drives against speeding, dangerous driving and other violations are being regularly carried out across Srinagar. We regularly conduct drives against overspeeding and rash driving. Strict legal action is taken wherever violations are detected, and repeat offenders are dealt with firmly. Such enforcement will continue, the officer said. Residents, however, said enforcement against heavy vehicles should not remain limited to periodic drives following fatal accidents. They urged authorities to deploy more traffic personnel on routes frequently used by tippers during evening and late-night hours and maintain permanent surveillance to deter violations.
Handwara honours dedicated public servants, social contributors
Handwara, Sep 3: The Jammu and Kashmir Action Group Thursady organized a felicitation ceremony at Environmental Hall Handwara in north Kashmirs Kupwara district with an aim to honour government employees, educationists, authors, blood donors and social activists for their honesty, dedicated services and contributions to society. Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Action Group Mohammad Iqbal Dar said that the organisation felt to recognise individuals who have demonstrated honesty and commitment in their respective fields. Since corruption is increasing in society day by day, we wanted to promote honesty and that is why we organised todays programme. After thorough research, we identified officials who were felicitated for their dedication and honesty. The need of the hour is to promote honesty and dedication, which unfortunately is rarely witnessed in society, Dar said. Every government employee, as well as those working in the private sector, should perform their duties with honesty and sincerity, he added. Secretary of the Action Group Mir Firdous said that the programme was aimed at promoting goodness and encouraging people engaged in public service and welfare activities. Such a programme has been organised for the first time in North Kashmir to spread goodness in society. I am thankful to the volunteers who have always stood by us throughout the year in carrying out different welfare programmes, Mir added. International scholar and author of seven books, Dr Reyaz Towheedi, was also felicitated for his contribution to Urdu literature and the education sector. JK Action Group has been supporting needy people through various welfare initiatives, including financial assistance, marriage assistance for poor girls, free medicines for needy patients and educational support for deserving students, he added. Dr Towheedi also highlighted JK Action Group's initiative of providing suhoor to hundreds of attendants at Government Medical College Handwara during Ramadhan over the past two years. President Fruit Mandi Handwara Mohammad Amin was also honoured during the ceremony. He appreciated the JK Action Group for recognising individuals working with dedication and contributing to the welfare of society. Such initiatives will encourage more people to uphold honesty, dedication and a spirit of service in their professional and social lives, he added. A galaxy of intellectuals and achievers participated in the programme. At the culmination ceremony, cutting and tailoring trainees who have undergone six months training by JK Action Group were also provided certificates.
Lumpy Skin Disease outbreak sparks panic in Ganderbal
Ganderbal, Sep 03: A suspected outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) has triggered widespread anxiety among livestock owners in central Kashmir's Ganderbal district, with over 350 cattle reportedly infected across several villages. Local residents in areas including Shallabugh and the broader Sherpathri belt claim that at least 20 cattle have succumbed to the highly contagious viral infection over recent days. The sudden spike in infections has raised immediate concerns for the livelihoods of local dairy farmers and prompted frantic calls for urgent government intervention. Livestock owners report seeing symptoms characteristic of the virus, including high fever, skin nodules, discharge from the eyes and nose, and severe loss of milk yield. Over 350 animals are affected in our area alone, and nearly 20 have already died, said Bilal Ahmad, a resident of Shallabugh. This is devastating for families who rely entirely on dairy farming for their daily income. Many animals were vaccinated during previous outbreaks, so we are deeply concerned about how this is spreading again and whether the vaccines are still effective. Affected farmers are demanding immediate financial relief and compensation from the administration to offset the sudden loss of valuable livestock. In response to the growing distress, officials from the Animal Husbandry Department confirmed that specialized veterinary teams have been mobilized to inspect the affected belts, assess the situation on the ground, and administer symptomatic care. Officials stated that the teams will verify the reported infection and mortality numbers while implementing strict containment measures, including isolation protocols, fogging, and vector-control guidance to stop the virus from spreading to neighboring villages.
KNS holds workshopfor correspondents from Kashmir, Jammu divisions
The Kashmir News Service (KNS) group of publications on Thursday held its annual media workshop at the Convention Centre, Gulmarg, with correspondents from Kashmir and Jammu divisions, Srinagar city, senior editors and other journalists associated with the organisation participating in the day-long programme. The workshop, as per a statement, discussed the changing media environment and the challenges before professional journalists, particularly the spread of unverified information through social media. Speakers said the growing number of Facebook pages and anonymous news handles, many operating without any editorial mechanism, had made it difficult for readers to distinguish between verified news and unverified claims. They stressed that this had placed an added responsibility on professional news organisations to maintain accuracy and credibility. The participants emphasised that the rush to be first should not come at the cost of verification and that information circulating on social media should not be treated as news unless properly established. During the open session, correspondents raised issues related to training, field coordination and logistical support, particularly for those working in remote areas. They also suggested regular interaction between the editorial team and district correspondents to improve the flow and quality of news. The Editor-in-Chief assured the participants that the issues raised during the workshop would be looked into and necessary steps taken. Addressing the gathering, Editor-in-Chief Mohammad Aslam Bhat said a correspondent had a demanding job and that the quality of a news report depended largely on the accuracy of the information provided by the reporter.
Stipend row turns into NMC, Supreme Court flashpoint
Srinagar, Sep 3:With MBBS and BDS interns across J&K refusing to report for duty since August 31 in protest of the delay in stipend-hike, hospitals here are grappling with a severe crunch of working hands. The sudden withdrawal has left senior faculty and resident doctors stretched thin. The core of the matter is the debate on ethical work-load and commensurate emoluments to interns in view of the Supreme Court guidelines. At GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu, SKIMS Bemina, GMC Anantnag, GMC Baramulla and GMC Handwara and other institutions, interns typically form the first line of round-the-clock care. They form a significant proportion of the staff deputed in emergency rooms, managing wards, and staffing OPDs through the night. The withdrawal of services has significantly impacted emergency rooms, wards and outpatient departments, according to hospital officials. There is no single official headcount of interns currently undergoing the mandatory one-year Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) in J&K. It can be gauged from the 1100 MBBS seats that J&K had in the 2020-21 session. Since the batch now serving as interns, plus BDS graduates, the total would be running into several hundred to over a thousand young doctors. This is estimated to be the largest simultaneous intern walkouts. Interns say their stipend of roughly Rs 12,300, that has been broken down as Rs 400 a day, is inadequate to meet their basic needs and has remained unchanged for nearly seven years. Protesters have cited Odisha paying its interns Rs 44,319 a month, West Bengal paying Rs 43,099 and Assam Rs 35,000. In J&K a 2023-constituted committee had recommended raising the J&K stipend to around Rs 25,000. This was later cited in the 2026 Assembly session as Rs 26,300. However, apart from the recommendations and a file being stuck, no other communication regarding thei has been received from the government. J&K Health Minister Sakina Itoo recently called the demand justified and urged interns against striking. She expressed concern that the withdrawal of services could negatively impact patient care. The NMC, responding to a Union Health Ministry query on the stipend issue in February this year said its CRMI Regulations, 2021 already provide for payment of stipend to interns. The actual implementation and quantum are decided by respective states and UTs, the NMC said. This, it said, is based on their own financial capacity and budget provisions. Months later, in June 2026, it told the Supreme Court that non-payment persisted at only seven of 756 medical colleges nationwide. Hearing a batch of pleas, the apex court directed that year that Army College interns be paid Rs 25,000 a month from October 2023. In October 2025 the SC rebuked the Commission, observing that its conduct deserved to be deprecated since the stipend issue had been pending before the court for long. The matter remains under the court's active supervision. A nodal counsel has been appointed in June 2026 to compile a state-wise compliance chart. Under the CRMI Regulations, 2021, interns have a defined middle ground in hospital hierarchies, working under supervision throughout the internship. They are not permitted to practise independently. They may assist but cannot perform major procedures on their own. Thus J&K's interns could assist in OPDs, ward rounds, emergency-unit postings and night shifts. However, their shifts often stretches 24-36 hours. There also is compulsory rural postings, making their work demanding and exhaustive.

KNS holds annual media workshop in Gulmarg
Gulmarg, Sep 03 : The Kashmir News Service (KNS) group of publications on Thursday held its annual media workshop at the Convention Centre, Gulmarg, with correspondents from Kashmir and Jammu divisions, Srinagar city, senior editors and other journalists associated with the organisation participating in the day-long programme. In a statement, the group said that the workshop discussed the changing media environment and the challenges before professional journalists, particularly the spread of unverified information through social media. Speakers said the growing number of Facebook pages and anonymous news handles, many operating without any editorial mechanism, had made it difficult for readers to distinguish between verified news and unverified claims. They stressed that this had placed an added responsibility on professional news organisations to maintain accuracy and credibility. The participants emphasised that the rush to be first should not come at the cost of verification and that information circulating on social media should not be treated as news unless properly established. South Kashmir Bureau Head Tasaduq Rashid, while opening the session, spoke about the journey of KNS over the past three decades and the challenges faced by the organisation during this period. He said KNS had continued its work despite different pressures, financial difficulties and changes brought about by the digital media. Tasaduq said credibility remained the biggest strength of the organisation and had helped it sustain its position in the media landscape of Jammu and Kashmir. North Kashmir Bureau Head Mohammad Lateef Bhat spoke about KNS's contribution to journalism in J&K and the journalists who had started their careers with the organisation and were now working with different major media platforms. He suggested that similar workshops should be held at the district level so that reporters working in different parts of the region could benefit from regular interaction and training. Online Editor Sagar Firdous said traditional media needed to respond to the growing flow of unverified information by strengthening its own reporting and verification processes. He said the answer to social media noise was not to compete with it on speed but to offer readers information that was checked and reliable. Executive Editor Rahim Rizwan, Correspondent Aqib Khan and senior correspondents also participated in the workshop and shared their experiences. They discussed various aspects of reporting, newsroom functioning and coordination between field reporters and the editorial desk. During the open session, correspondents raised issues related to training, field coordination and logistical support, particularly for those working in remote areas. They also suggested regular interaction between the editorial team and district correspondents to improve the flow and quality of news. The Editor-in-Chief assured the participants that the issues raised during the workshop would be looked into and necessary steps taken. Addressing the gathering, Editor-in-Chief Mohammad Aslam Bhat said a correspondent had a demanding job and that the quality of a news report depended largely on the accuracy of the information provided by the reporter. He said credibility had always remained a priority for KNS and that the organisation had maintained the practice of verifying facts before publishing news. Bhat asked reporters to first establish the facts of an incident on the ground and then approach the concerned authorities for their official version. He also stressed the need for better coordination between correspondents and the editorial desk, saying this was necessary to avoid factual errors and ensure that only verified information reached readers. The workshop concluded with discussions on strengthening reporting practices, improving coordination between the field and newsroom and maintaining the credibility of the organisation.(KNS)
Film Heritage Foundations 4K restoration of Kamal Amrohis 1972 classic Pakeezah, starring Meena Kumari, is set to receive its global premiere at Frances Festival Lumire in Lyon, followed by a gala screening at the BFI London Film Festival. The restoration marks a significant step in preserving one of Indian cinemas most celebrated films. The restoration has been undertaken by Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) in association with the Amrohi family. The screening at the BFI IMAX in London will be presented by FHF director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur along with Kamal Amrohis children Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi and grandson Bilal Amrohi. The restoration took two years and presented several technical challenges, as the original camera negative was found to be almost melted and unusable. FHF subsequently worked with an interpositive, a CinemaScope print and a colour reversal internegative preserved by the NFDC-National Film Archive of India. Original film stills and memories shared by Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi were also used to help recreate the colour palette and visual consistency of the film. Speaking about the restoration, Shivendra Singh Dungarpur said, Restoring Pakeezah has been a long-held dream, and I am so grateful to Bilal Amrohi for being the moving spirit and encouraging the family to support the restoration and bring the film back to life. Pakeezah is a film that has been etched in my memory since I was a child when I watched it for the first time with my grandmother in a darkened cinema in Dumraon, Bihar. The restoration of Pakeezah took two years. It has been one of the most exciting yet one of the most challenging restorations I have worked on. When I went to inspect the original camera negative and saw that it had almost melted, my heart sank. And the other film elements we had to work with were not in good condition with faded colours, scratches and mould. In my minds eye, I could see each frame like a painting saturated with colours, the opulent sets and the luminous beauty of Meena Kumari and the songs of Ghulam Mohammed were ringing in my ears as if it was yesterday, but not a single cast or crew member survived from the film and I wondered how I would be able to restore Kamal Amrohis original vision with what I had to work with. During our research we discovered original film stills which helped a great deal and I also consulted Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi who had visited the sets and had vivid memories from the making of the film. I couldnt have asked for a better showcase for the restored Pakeezah than the Festival Lumiere in Lyon, the birthplace of cinema followed by a gala screening at the London Film Festival. Tajdar Amrohi recalled his association with the film and his fathers dedication to the project. He said, I was at the grand premiere of Pakeezah in 1972 with my father and Choti Ammi (Meena Kumari) and the film cans arrived at Maratha Mandir in a palanquin. I never imagined that I would be presenting the restored film with my family at the gala premiere in London fifty-four years later. I would like to thank Shivendra Singh Dungarpur and Film Heritage Foundation for restoring the film with so much passion and meticulous care and for bringing my father and his greatest work back to life so that new generations will see the unforgettable Meena Kumari and enjoy the beauty of the film. I remember when I was a child, my father was deep into the making of Pakeezah. Everything in our lives revolved around Pakeezah. My father had put in everything he had in the film and whenever we asked him for anything as children, his response would always be, After Pakeezah. Pakeezah was his lifes mission. I have so many memories of the film as I would regularly visit the sets on Floor No. 3 at Filmistan where much of the film was shot. The film has influenced generations of filmmakers and even today I am sometimes asked how he achieved some of the shots. Rukhsaar Amrohi also reflected on her fathers connection with the film and Meena Kumari. She said, Pakeezah was my fathers obsession, his dream, his oxygen that gave meaning to his life. No one else could have played the role of Pakeezah, but Choti Ammi (Meena Kumari). She was Pakeezah. My father nurtured the film for over fifteen years like a child till it was fully matured and ready to be presented to the world. As a thirteen-year-old, I witnessed the countless sacrifices my father made and the relentless dedication and perfectionism in the face of almost insurmountable challenges to make his vision a reality. I have preserved every bit of his legacy that remains in Amroha, but for years, I felt that my fathers legacy as a great master of cinema had been forgotten. I would like to thank Shivendra Singh Dungarpur for taking the initiative to restore Pakeezah with so much love and care. I only wish my father were alive to see his creation restored and reborn for the world to see fifty-four years after it was released. I cannot wait to see the restored film back on the big screen and I will be travelling to London to present the film. Pakeezah, which was released on February 4, 1972, underwent a production journey spanning nearly 15 years. Originally conceived in the 1950s, the film began shooting in black-and-white before moving to Eastmancolor. The production was interrupted several times, including after Amrohi and Meena Kumari separated, before being revived in 1969. The film went on to become one of the defining works of Indian cinema, with Meena Kumaris performance as Sahibjaan becoming central to its enduring legacy. She passed away on March 31, 1972, just weeks after the films release. The restored version of Pakeezah is presented in 4K with a 5.1 sound mix. The film runs for 153 minutes and features Meena Kumari alongside Ashok Kumar, Raaj Kumar and Nadira. The restoration was carried out by Film Heritage Foundation at LImmagine Ritrovata laboratory in association with Bilal Amrohi of Lionheart Cinema.

Over 5,000 Dropbox Accounts Compromised In Targeted Breach
A security vulnerability involving Lenovo ID single sign-on authentication resulted in unauthorized access to approximately 5,000 Dropbox accounts. The cloud storage provider notified affected individuals by email, confirming that unauthorized activity was detected on impacted accounts between August 4 and August 21, 2026. The security breakdown occurred due to an email verification flaw within Lenovos account registration system. Attackers discovered they could create a fraudulent Lenovo ID using a targeted victims existing email address without proper identity confirmation. Because of a legacy authentication integration between the two platforms, Dropbox treated the newly created Lenovo ID as a verified login for the associated Dropbox profile. This oversight allowed the hacker to bypass standard credential prompts and directly hijack existing accounts simply by knowing the users primary email address. so dropbox got hacked (never had a Lenovo account, haven't been to UK) pic.twitter.com/UoYRaJFuEC yoni | parser.eth (@yonilevy) August 31, 2026 The incident drew sharp criticism from cybersecurity observers, who highlighted the fundamental flaw of permitting third-party login linking to pre-existing user accounts without demanding proof of prior password ownership. The breach raised immediate privacy concerns given that Dropbox users routinely host personal documents, financial data, and sensitive corporate files on the platform. Despite the severity of the authentication oversight, the impact remained relatively isolated. Reports indicate that around 5,000 accounts were accessed, none of which had enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA) . The presence of two-factor verification successfully prevented account takeovers against users who had configured it. In response, Lenovo characterized the vulnerability as an issue tied to a legacy integration , stating that both organizations collaborated to resolve the underlying authentication process. To remediate the threat, Dropbox took immediate containment actions: Terminated and expired all active sessions that were authenticated via Lenovo IDs Completely severed the account integration link connecting Lenovo profiles to Dropbox Mandated direct password verification, preventing any Lenovo ID sign-in without a primary Dropbox password Dropbox additionally noted in customer notices that internal access logs showed no conclusive evidence that stored user files were downloaded or viewed during the intrusions.

Congress-NC alliance is not about one Cabinet berth, it is about J&Ks people: Ghulam Ahmad Mir
Srinagar, Sep 3: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir on Thursday defended the partys alliance with the National Conference, saying the partnership was not forged for a Cabinet berth or any individual political benefit but to safeguard the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking about the continuing discussion over the vacant Cabinet berths in the Omar Abdullah-led government, Mir said the Congress should not be viewed merely through the number of MLAs it has in the Assembly. We have supported the National Conference at this time. We did not give this support for a Cabinet berth or for any job. We gave it because of the way communal forces are looking at Jammu and Kashmir, their attacks and their desire, which they had earlier as well, to establish themselves here, Mir said. He said the Congress had a larger political role to play in Jammu and Kashmir and that its commitment to the alliance went beyond the question of ministerial representation. If the National Conference is still safe, it is because of the Congress party, because the Congress party is the only party which will never want to give the BJP an opportunity. This is a solid commitment, he said. Mir was responding to questions over the delay in the expansion of the Council of Ministers and reports that one of the three vacant Cabinet positions could go to the Congress. He said the issue had been under discussion for several months but maintained that the decision to induct or drop ministers ultimately rested with the Chief Minister. You have been hearing about Cabinet expansion and induction for three months. There is a date after date, but in practice it has not happened, because this is the sole prerogative of the Chief Minister. He will decide when and which MLA he wants to take and whom he wants to drop, Mir said. At the same time, he said the matter should not be reduced to a bargaining exercise over one Cabinet seat. The Congress is also a very big ocean, and Congress also has to look at the entire situation of Jammu and Kashmir. This is not merely about one Cabinet berth. The question is about the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the issues of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. Mir also cautioned against repeatedly referring to the Congress as a party with only six MLAs in the Assembly. If the National Conference looks at the Congress only according to the number six, if it weighs it on the basis that these are six people, then I think it is doing injustice to the Congress today, he said. He pointed out that the alliance had benefited both parties electorally and politically. It has to be weighed as a party. It is because of this party that the alliance happened and the National Conference benefited from it, and after that, if our party got six seats, Mir said. Government of India responsible for security situation Mir also criticised the Centre over the continuing security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Union government could not shift responsibility for the situation to the elected government in the Union Territory. Referring to threats against Kashmiri Pandits and recent militant incidents, he said the security situation had been one of the principal reasons cited for the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs constitutional and administrative status in 2019. The question arises that on August 5, 2019, citing these very threats, these very selective killings and these very incidents, the Home Ministry and the Government of India, without asking us, cut our neck and brought our state down, Mir said. He said the Centre had justified the move by arguing that it was necessary to improve the security situation and ensure that the entire law-and-order situation was dealt with by the Government of India. Now it is the seventh year. And even after the seventh year, we continue to see every year that killings are taking place, selective targets are taking place, and Kashmiri Pandits are also receiving threats, he said. Mir argued that responsibility for the situation therefore lay with the Centre. If this is a failure, then it is the failure of the Government of India, and all the agencies are in their hands, he said. He added that Jammu and Kashmirs security and law-and-order machinery was no longer under the control of an elected state government. Today, no person in Jammu and Kashmir has these security agencies or law and order in his hands. In the UT, the Lieutenant Governor is looking after it, and at the Centre, the Home Minister of India is looking after it. So definitely, if the voice is raised that threats are still being received, the responsibility goes to the Government of India, Mir said. Financial situation not so bad that children should be on streets Mir also backed the demands of protesting students and professionals seeking greater financial assistance from the Jammu and Kashmir government. He said the demands appeared genuine and that Jammu and Kashmir was providing significantly less support compared with other states. It is a human issue, clearly. Their issue should be resolved. We will also appeal to the Chief Minister because Finance is with him and he should take a call, Mir said. While acknowledging the Union Territorys financial constraints, he said the government should find a middle path. We believe that the financial situation of our state is not so good. But it is not so bad either that we should see thousands of our children on the streets. Some middle path should be found, he said. Mir warned that if the issue remained unresolved, the Congress would raise it with other political parties and seek a clear response from the Chief Minister when the House resumes. If they do not do it, then definitely, being the Congress legislature party in the House, we will talk to other parties as well, and from the 21st, when the House begins, if it is not resolved by then, we will definitely want, along with our other colleagues, that the Chief Minister give a solid answer on this and resolve their issue, he said. On Congress and possible political returnees Asked about speculation surrounding leaders who may seek to return to the Congress, Mir said the partys doors remained open to those who shared its ideology. Congress is an ocean. But Congress has its own ideology. For those whose ideology matches that ideology, or whose ideology aligns with the Congress ideology, the doors are open, he said. However, he dismissed speculation about some individuals returning to the party, saying some of them had left Congress decades ago. Some of those whose names you have taken left Congress after eating and drinking for 40-45 years, and their stomachs may not yet be full there, so why would they look back? Mir said, adding that much of the speculation was confined to social media. He also criticised the conduct of the two major political parties during a recent protest, arguing that issues affecting ordinary people had been sidelined. There was no issue of 14 million people in it. Both of them were for taking a chair and saving a chair. This was the first time in 80 years of democracy that the party in power was on the streets, Mir said. He said political parties should instead be taking up issues such as unemployment, rising electricity bills and the problems faced by young people. If tomorrow a forum is formed and takes up all these issues and says, Come to Srinagar, and five lakh people stand there, demanding answers from both governments, then will pellet guns be fired at that time? Will it be said then that they were anti-national? Mir asked.

Engineered for large properties, the S2 Max is capable of mapping and maintaining lawns of up to 15,000 square meters (approximately 3.7 acres). Departing from older outdoor robotic designs that rely on perimeter boundary wires or external RTK base station antennas, the system utilizes vision-based SLAM technology (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). As the unit navigates across open turf, it constructs a real-time 3D map of the environment and localizes itself dynamically without requiring supplemental hardware installations. At the center of its navigation architecture is an industry-leading 48 TOPS of onboard computing power . Rather than utilizing processing simply for wheel control and motor management, this high compute capacity is dedicated to real-time visual perception, situational decision-making, advanced object recognition, and immediate obstacle avoidance across dynamic environments. Mechanical and terrain-handling capabilities include: Edge-to-edge cutting system : Equipped with an extendable trimming arm engineered to trim closely against borders, fences, and walls, reaching areas commonly missed by standard mower decks. All-wheel drive traction : An integrated AWD powertrain ensures steady movement over uneven, wet, or muddy ground. Slope performance : The drive architecture enables the mower to tackle steep inclines of up to 80% slope (38 degrees) without losing traction. Through the combination of computer vision, high processing power, and robust mechanical traction, Eufy positions the mower as an autonomous outdoor platform capable of managing demanding landscapes independently. The Eufy S2 Max Robot Lawn Mower is scheduled to release in the European market in May 2027 . Official launch timing and retail pricing for the United States have not yet been determined.

JJ Smuts, Tom Curran Star as Edinburgh Rockers Beat Belfast Wolves by 59 Runs
Edinburgh Castle Rockers delivered a commanding all-round performance to defeat Belfast Wolves by 59 runs in Match 11 of the ETPL, with JJ Smuts near-century and Tom Currans historic hat-trick leading the way at Voorburg Cricket Club, Netherlands. The match also produced one of the most unusual moments of the tournament so far, with brothers Ross Adair and Mark Adair facing each other on opposite sides and both eventually playing a direct role in each others dismissals. Belfast Wolves won the toss and elected to bowl, but the Rockers quickly established control through JJ Smuts. The South African all-rounder produced a superb 98 from 60 balls, striking 11 fours and three sixes as he anchored Edinburghs innings while maintaining an impressive scoring rate, earning him the man of the match award. Ross Adair added nine before the first wicket fell at 19, but the dismissal carried a storyline of its own. Mark Adair removed his brother Ross, with Tim Tector completing the catch. It was the first of two occasions in which the brothers would be directly involved in each others dismissals. Andries Gous added 14 before Brandon McMullen shifted the momentum with a blistering 30 from 16 balls, including two fours and two sixes. Mitchell Santner then provided the finishing burst, smashing an unbeaten 25 from 13, as Edinburgh closed on 189 for five from their 20 overs. Belfasts chase began with immediate trouble. Trent Boult produced a superb opening spell, claiming three wickets for 16 runs. Tim Tector and Lorcan Tucker fell in successive deliveries, before Paul Stirling was dismissed for 25 from 13 balls as the Wolves slipped to 37 for three. Glenn Maxwell offered resistance with 35 from 23, while David Miller made 20, but Edinburgh continued to chip away. Jack Jarvis claimed two wickets and Mark Watt added another before Curran took centre stage. The Rockers all-rounder produced the defining moment of the match, taking the first hat-trick in ETPL history. Curran dismissed Fred Klaassen and Matthew Humphreys with his final two deliveries of the 16th over, before returning for the 18th over, where he bowled and removed Mark Adair to complete three wickets from three consecutive balls of his spell. He finished with outstanding figures of 4/20 from 3.1 overs. And once again, the Adair brothers were at the centre of the action. Mark Adair, who had earlier dismissed Ross, was Currans fourth wicket but the catch was completed by Ross Adair. Earlier, Mark had ended Ross innings, now Ross had a hand in ending Marks. It was a remarkable exchange between the brothers in a match already full of memorable moments. Belfast were bowled out for 130 in 17.1 overs, giving Edinburgh a comprehensive 59-run victory. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Smuts 98 provided the foundation, Boults three-wicket burst broke the Wolves chase early, and Currans historic hat-trick sealed the result.

Rotterdam Dockers produced another statement performance in the ETPL, chasing down 179 against Dublin Guardians to secure a seven wicket victory with eight balls remaining at Sportpark Westvliet. After winning the toss and choosing to field, the Dockers were set a challenging target as Dublin posted 178 for four from their 20 overs. James Vince led the way for the Guardians, remaining unbeaten on 95 from 54 balls, striking five fours and six sixes. Sanjay Krishnamurthi added 26 from 17, while Vijay Shankar provided a powerful finish with 26 from 13, including two sixes.

After Noah Croes fell for eight, Vince combined with Harry Tector for a 56-run partnership, taking the Guardians through the middle overs. Tector contributed 14 from 15 before falling at 78, after which Vince continued to anchor the innings. Partnerships with Daryl Mitchell, Krishnamurthi and Shankar then helped Dublin finish strongly, with the final total reaching 178 for four. But Rotterdam's response was even more emphatic. Michael Levitt immediately changed the tempo of the chase, smashing 35 from just 14 balls, with three fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 250. His explosive start combined with Faf du Plessis' experience gave the Dockers a 55-run opening partnership, bringing the required rate under control before Levitt was dismissed by Joshua Little. Faf then took complete command. The Rotterdam captain produced an outstanding 79 from 51 balls, striking nine fours and a six at a strike rate of 154.90. More than simply providing stability, du Plessis repeatedly found the boundary and ensured that the chase never lost momentum. Ravichandran Ashwin brought his T20 experience into the middle overs, looking to slow the Dockers scoring. However, Levitts explosive start and du Plessis control ensured the Guardians struggled to build sustained pressure. After Levitt's departure, Faf added 39 with Vikramjit Singh, who contributed 18 from 14 balls, before another partnership took the chase further. When Vikramjit fell at 94, Faf and Heinrich Klaasen put together a crucial 54-run stand, shifting the equation firmly in Rotterdam's favour. Klaasen then took responsibility for the finish. His unbeaten 34 from 28 balls included two sixes, while Ben McDermott remained alongside him as the Dockers closed in on victory. Klaasen and McDermott ensured there was no late drama, taking the Dockers to 179 for three in 18.4 overs. For his match defining innings, Faf du Plessis was named Player of the Match, capping a performance that combined leadership, control and attacking intent. Dublin had produced a substantial total and Vince's unbeaten 95 was an outstanding effort, but Rotterdam's response showcased the versatility of their batting unit. Four partnerships, Levitt and du Plessis, du Plessis and Vikramjit, du Plessis and Klaasen, and Klaasen and McDermott steadily dismantled the target.
