Indias indigenous long-range unmanned strike capabilities received a boost with the successful flight trial of KAL, a reported 1,000-kilometre-range one-way attack drone, at the Pokhran Field Firing Range in Rajasthan.

UP: Police arrest man for rape of six-year-old child in Sitapur
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. The accused allegedly lured the girl to a sugarcane field before committing the heinous crime. He opened fire at the police team that had gone to nab him and sustained a leg injury in retaliatory firing. The little girl underwent a medical examination to confirm the rape, while the Superintendent of Police had announced a reward of Rs 25,000 for information leading to the accused Avadh Ram alias Bhole Shankar's arrest. CO (Mahmoodabad) Kapoor Kumar said police teams were formed under the directions of the Sitapur Superintendent of Police to conduct continuous raids and trace the accused. Today, on September 22, based on specific information provided by an informer, the accused was spotted early in the morning near Berra village. When our police team and the Mission Shakti team arrived on the road near Berra village to conduct a raid, the accused opened fire at the police after seeing them. In self-defence, the police retaliated, Kumar said. He sustained injuries during the firing and has been sent to hospital. We recovered a revolver, two live cartridges and Rs 350 in cash from him. Further legal action is being taken, he added.

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.

CBSE Talkathon stresses awareness, support to keep youth drug-free
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) Experts and students came together in a CBSE Talkathon to discuss the growing challenge of substance abuse among school students and ways to prevent it. The interactive session featured Alka Awasthi, Principal of Mayur School, Noida; Prof. Nand Kumar from the Department of Psychiatry at AIIMS, New Delhi; Anish C, Additional Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau; and Class 12 students Samya and Rohit from PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalayas. CBSE Talkathon, a series of live virtual sessions conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, allows specialists to speak directly to students and teachers about issues related to well-being and learning. One prominent edition centred on the Nasha Mukt Yuva (Drug-Free Youth) campaign, aimed at building awareness to combat substance abuse. Nand Kumar explained that drugs first affect the brain by hyperactivating its reward circuit, creating intense pleasure that normal life experiences cannot match. This leads users to seek the substance repeatedly and eventually become dependent. He added that while alcohol damages the liver and stomach and cigarettes harm the lungs and throat, the brain is always the first target. Responding to the myth that occasional alcohol use does not cause addiction, Anish cautioned that even sporadic consumption opens the door to dependency. The brain begins to associate the substance with relaxation, gradually replacing healthy coping methods. Principal Alka Awasthi reinforced that no amount of drug use is safe, as it creates a temporary coping mechanism that ultimately leads to addiction. Addressing concerns about sudden cessation, Nand Kumar said mild changes in attention, concentration, focus, and sleep are normal signs of dependence and indicate the need for professional support. He also debunked the belief that substances improve concentration, calling it a dangerous myth. On helping friends influenced by harmful habits, Awasthi advised young people to show empathy and patience while clearly expressing concern. If a friend does not respond, they should involve parents, school counsellors, or peer educators. CBSE schools already have peer ambassadors and educators who monitor classmates and report concerns. The experts agreed that strong friendships and supportive school communities create positive peer pressure that encourages refusal of drugs. Nand Kumar shared a refusal technique called CALM: clearly declare, I will not take it; Leave the situation immediately; use an Excuse if needed; and stay Mindful. Nasha Mukt, Anish explained, means understanding drugs and saying no so that demand falls and substances stop reaching young minds. The session sent a strong message: academic or social pressure is never a justification for substance use, and seeking help should never be a source of shame.
