Digital Desk | Sitapur, Sep 22 (IANS) Police on Tuesday arrested Avadh Ram alias Bhole Shankar within 12 hours after he allegedly raped a six-year-old girl in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh.

Delhi-NCR to remain dry as IMD forecasts clear skies; mercury to touch 34 degree Celsius
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 22 (IANS) The national Capital is likely to witness clear skies and relatively pleasant weather on Tuesday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a minimum temperature of around 24 degree Celsius and a maximum of nearly 34 degree Celsius. According to the weather agency, Delhi is expected to remain largely dry throughout the day, marking a change from the cloudy conditions and occasional showers witnessed recently. The forecast of clearer skies could provide some relief from the persistent humidity experienced across the city over the past few weeks. The relative humidity is likely to remain around 60 per cent, while weather conditions are expected to be generally comfortable for residents. However, temperatures are likely to rise during the afternoon before easing later in the day. Among the weather stations in the national Capital, Palam is likely to record a minimum temperature of around 23 degree Celsius. Lodi Road and Ayanagar may register minimum temperatures of 24.3 degree Celsius and 24.2 degree Celsius, respectively. The Ridge could witness a comparatively cooler morning, with the minimum temperature expected to settle at around 22.5 degree Celsius. While Delhi-NCR is likely to remain dry on Tuesday, several other parts of the country are expected to experience rainfall and thunderstorms in the coming days due to a weather system developing over the Bay of Bengal. Odisha is likely to witness some of the most intense weather activity as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal becomes more organised. The system is expected to move towards the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast and reach the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal near the coast around the morning of September 23. The IMD has issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall exceeding 20 cm in Kandhamal, Gajapati, Ganjam and Puri on September 23. A similar red alert has been issued for Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Rayagada for September 24. Rainfall is expected to remain active across Odisha until September 27, with different districts placed under red, orange and yellow alerts depending on the anticipated intensity of rainfall. Kerala is also likely to experience wet conditions during the week. Light to moderate rainfall has been forecast in several areas between September 21 and 25, while isolated heavy showers are possible in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur. The IMD has advised residents in areas vulnerable to waterlogging and landslides to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities. Weather activity is also expected to increase across parts of the Northeast and eastern India. Assam and Meghalaya may experience thunderstorms and lightning on September 22, followed by heavy rainfall between September 23 and 25. Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim could witness thunderstorms, lightning and squally conditions on September 22. Heavy rainfall is likely in these areas on September 23 and 24, while very heavy showers are possible on September 25. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to see increased rainfall activity from September 24, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions. Similar weather is likely to develop over West Uttar Pradesh from September 25. In contrast, Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, is unlikely to receive significant rainfall on Tuesday. The region is expected to remain predominantly dry as the southwest monsoon continues to withdraw from northwest India. However, weather conditions could become more active towards the end of the week, with the IMD forecasting thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi between September 25 and 27. The developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to remain the primary factor influencing rainfall and thunderstorm activity across several parts of the country in the coming days.
Max Noida launches exclusive oncology OPD services in Srinagar
Max Super Speciality Hospital, Noida, has launched exclusive Oncology OPD services at Arshad Farooqs Clinic in Karan Nagar, Srinagar, to provide specialised cancer consultations and treatment guidance to patients in Kashmir. The services were launched in the presence of Dr. S.M. Shuaib Zaidi, Principal Director and Unit Head, Surgical Oncology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Noida; Dr. Arshad Farooq, Managing Director of Arshad Farooqs Clinic; and Gazzanfar Hameed, Director of the clinic. Dr. Zaidi will be available at the clinic on the third Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to noon for primary consultations and follow-ups. Dr. Zaidi said lack of awareness often leads people to ignore early cancer symptoms and seek medical attention only after the disease has progressed. He stressed the importance of preventive measures, lifestyle modifications, regular self-examination and timely screening, saying early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life. With advancements such as minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, cancer surgeries today offer greater precision, faster recovery and improved outcomes, he said. Dr. Zaidi said the OPD would provide consultation and treatment guidance to patients with symptoms such as lumps, vomiting blood, difficulty swallowing and unexplained weight loss, among other concerning conditions. He said the initiative was aimed at helping more patients access timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment guidance. Max Super Speciality Hospital said the initiative is part of its efforts to expand access to specialised cancer care through healthcare partnerships and provide patients with comprehensive oncology services.

Students, experts stress friendship, passion and safe spaces to build Nasha Mukt Yuva
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) Friendship, positive peer influence, and the pursuit of genuine passions emerged as powerful tools against substance abuse during a CBSE Talkathon that brought together school leaders, medical experts, narcotics officials, and students. The session featured Principal Alka Awasthi of Mayur School, Noida; Prof. Nand Kumar from AIIMS New Delhis Department of Psychiatry; Anish C, Additional Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau; and Class 12 students Samya and Rohit. Nand Kumar explained that every drug hijacks the brains reward circuit, creating intense pleasure that ordinary activities cannot match. He stressed that supportive environments and the courage to say no protect young minds more effectively than lectures alone. Class 12 student Rohit said a true friends responsibility is to understand the reasons, mental stress or peer pressure, that push someone toward substances. He added that friends should offer quiet support and, when needed, involve trusted adults or school authorities. Student Samya emphasised that condemnation only isolates users further, while reassurance such as You are not alone; we will support you helps build community and resilience. Principal Alka Awasthi and students showcased posters designed by schoolchildren with messages like Healthy Youth Equal to Strong Nation, Break the Roots of Habit Before They Break You and Wipe Out the Drugs Before They Wipe You Out. The panel noted that student-led campaigns carry greater credibility among peers. Anish advised that the real kick in life should come from sports, creative pursuits and extra-curricular activities. He warned that illicit drugs today are often synthetic and highly potent, with even a single use capable of severely damaging developing brains. On the social normalisation of alcohol, hookah and vapes at parties and weddings, experts observed that adolescent brains are still developing impulse-control capacities. Exposure at this stage interferes with healthy growth. They suggested schools begin age-appropriate conversations early, so young people themselves influence adults to change harmful practices. The panel repeatedly stressed the need for safe spaces where children can ask questions and seek help without fear of harsh consequences. Non-verbal gestures of support, such as a reassuring presence, often open doors more effectively than words. Students were reminded that willpower to refuse strengthens when they are surrounded by friends who respect boundaries. The Talkathon concluded with a strong message to advance the vision of a Nasha Mukt Yuva for a developed India. By combining awareness, strong friendships, early reporting through channels such as the NCB helpline 1933, and the courage to seek help without embarrassment, stakeholders can protect young minds and futures.

Samsung Offloads DDR5 Module Output To Shield PC Market From AI Shortages
If you have been reading the news in the last couple of months, probably you saw what is happening regarding the RAMmageddon , with memory prices going up given the shortage caused because the AI companies are buying massive loads of them. Trying to shield the PC Market from this shortage , Samsung Electronics has decided to outsource the expanded production of its DDR5 memory modules and solid-state drives (SSDs) to third-party manufacturing partners across Asia. This strategic shift allows the South Korean semiconductor manufacturer to concentrate domestic factory capacity primarily on high-bandwidth memory (HBM) tailored for artificial intelligence workloads. Domestically, Samsung is retooling its advanced packaging facilities located in Cheonan and Onyang . Conventional production lines at these South Korean sites are being converted into advanced packaging setups dedicated specifically to high-density HBM fabrication. In addition to reallocating existing infrastructure, Samsung has initiated construction on a dedicated HBM fabrication facility at the Onyang campus, backed by an estimated 6 trillion won investment. Concurrently, a $1.5 billion processing plant currently under development in Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam, will be reserved exclusively for testing legacy memory formats, including DDR4 , LPDDR4 , NAND flash , and UFS storage . To offset the domestic transition, Samsung is scaling outsourced operations across key regional partners: Dreamtech (India): Converting its Noida Plant 1 into a dedicated memory module assembly site, targeting an annual output capacity exceeding 50 million units . Hanyang Digitech (Vietnam): Allocating over 31.5 billion won during the first half of the year to integrate process automation and boost assembly throughput. SFA Semicon (Philippines): Receiving specialized DDR5 assembly and testing machinery transferred directly from Samsungs Onyang facility to its Philippine manufacturing base. The strategic transition capitalizes on distinct technical requirements between product categories. Standard DDR5 memory modules rely on surface-mount technology (SMT) , a mature and less complex process that third-party packaging and testing subcontractors can readily execute at scale. In contrast, next-generation HBM architectures demand specialized thermal control and vertical packaging techniques requiring dedicated in-house resources. The realignment enables Samsung to secure manufacturing yields for upcoming high-bandwidth developments, including future HBM generations , while maintaining global supply for consumer-grade DDR5 and SSD components. In theory, this wont make the memory prices go down but, at least, it will make it harder for them to go up, since the supply would going to be able to follow the demand.

Didn't know he was related to Nithari killings case, says man who helped Surendra Koli get job
Digital Desk | Haridwar, Sep 18 (IANS) Dharmender, a local, who helped Surendra Koli land a job at a tea stall in Uttarakhand's Haridwar, said on Friday that he was not aware that the latter had been an accused in the sensational Nithari killings case. This comes hours after Surendra Koli committed suicide by hanging himself. His body was found at the tea stall. Speaking to IANS, Dharmender said: I met him 15 days back when he begged me for a job. He had told me that he knows cooking, so I arranged for him to work at the tea stall at my guarantee...Only today I got to know that he is Surendra Koli and was related to the Nithari case. About whether Koli was asked for any identification proof, he said: Just yesterday, I had asked him for his Aadhar card for verification, to which he said that he did not have it here but would get it. So, I had given my Aadhar card to the owner (of the tea stall) and asked him to keep him here on my guarantee. Today morning I saw customers were sitting outside the shop but the shutter was closed. As soon as I attempted to knock, I realised that the shutter was already open. Upon opening it, I saw that he (Surendra Koli) had hanged himself. Dharmender said that Koli was under depression. He (Surendra Koli) was also suffering from low sugar, he added. Meanwhile, Shishupal Singh Negi, Circle Officer (Haridwar City), said that Koli's family has been informed about the incident and investigation is underway. Talking to IANS, Negi said: Surendra Koli has been frequently in the news as he was an accused in the Nithari case, which is why people recognised him. His family members have been informed and should be arriving soon. An investigation is underway, and any further updates will be shared as facts emerge. Whether he (Surendra Koli) was facing trouble at home will only be known once his family arrives. For now, it remains a matter of investigation, he added. In November last year, Koli, who was given the sobriquet Butcher of Nithari, was set free by the Supreme Court, which allowed his curative petition, giving a formal closure to a saga of botched-up probe and media trial built on theories of cannibalism. The 2006 Nithari killings captured public attention after the disappearance of minors from the village was linked to the discovery of human remains in a drain outside Moninder Singh Pandher's home in Noida's Sector-31, which became infamous as House of Horrors.
