Jackie Shroff remembers Sanjeev Kumar on his death anniversary: Always in our hearts
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 6 (IANS) Bollywood star Jackie Shroff remembered late actor Sanjeev Kumar on his death anniversary with a social media tribute. He shared a monochrome picture of the celebrated actor and wrote, Always in our hearts. Jackie also used the soulful track Beeti Na Bitaai Raina from the 1972 film Parichay for the tribute. Sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Bhupinder Singh, the song featured Sanjeev Kumar alongside Jaya Bachchan. Born Harihar Jethalal Jariwala on July 9, 1938, in Surat, Gujarat, he went on to become one of the most versatile actors of Hindi cinema. Sanjeev Kumar, unlike many leading actors of his generation, was comfortable playing romantic leads, comic characters, fathers and older men. His breakthrough came with Khilona, after which he delivered a string of acclaimed performances. He won the National Film Award for Best Actor for Dastak and Koshish, the latter seeing him portray a deaf-mute character. His performance in Koshish remains one of the most brave and exceptional examples of his acting skills. He went on to become part of many landmark films, including Sholay, where he played the iconic Thakur Baldev Singh, Angoor, in which he essayed a memorable double role, Aandhi, Mausam, Trishul, Seeta Aur Geeta, Namkeen, Anamika, Pati Patni Aur Woh and Naya Din Nayi Raat. In Naya Din Nayi Raat, Sanjeev Kumar famously played nine different characters that showcased the remarkable range that became synonymous with his career. Sanjeev Kumars personal life, meanwhile, remained as talked about as his acting career. He never married, despite being romantically linked with many leading actresses. His relationship with Hema Malini is among the best-known chapters of his personal life. Reportedly, Sanjeev Kumar was serious about marrying her. His health was another major concern throughout his later years. Heart disease had a history in his family. His father died of a massive heart attack when Sanjeev was only 11. Sanjeev himself suffered heart attacks and underwent bypass surgery in the United States. Despite undergoing surgery and being advised to take care of his health, Sanjeev Kumar died prematurely on November 6, 1985, at just 47. Many of his films were released after his death, including Love and God, Haathon Ki Lakeeren, Qatl, Baat Ban Jaye, Namumkin and Professor Ki Padosan, with the latter arriving in 1993.
Enhancing peacekeeping priority for India in seeking UNSC election
Digital Desk | United Nations, Nov 6 (IANS) India has said enhancing peacekeeping is a priority for it in seeking election to the Security Council with a firm commitment to bolstering the operations and protecting peacekeepers. It is because we regard peacekeeping as irreplaceable to this institution's core purpose that India has identified it as a priority for our candidacy for the Security Council for the term 2028-29, Colonel Tarunendra Pratap Singh, the military adviser at India's mission, said on Thursday. The elections to the Council for that term will be held next year. We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to UN peacekeeping and to a peacekeeping architecture that is better resourced, better protected, and more representative of the world it serves, he said. India has deployed more than 300,000 troops across 50 missions, which makes us the largest troop contributor till date, he pointed out. Singh spoke at the annual debate on the comprehensive review of peacekeeping operations held at the Assembly's Fourth Committee, which deals with special political and decolonisation matters. He recalled India's leadership when it was the Council's president during its last term in ensuring the safety of peacekeepers and bringing those attacking them to justice. During its presidency in August 2021, Singh said India piloted the Council resolution calling for accountability for crimes against peacekeepers, and it will continue its leadership on the issue. The resolution said the targeted attacks on peacekeepers were a major challenge to UN operations and asked all countries hosting peacekeeping operations o promote accountability for the killing of, and all acts of violence against United Nations personnel serving in peacekeeping operations. The UN's blue helmets oday face asymmetric and technologically enabled threats and those who attack peacekeepers must be held accountable, Singh said. India upholds the safety and security of peacekeepers as one of the most important aspects of peacekeeping, he said, pointing out that 184 Indians have made the supreme sacrifice in UN operations.. Singh said that roop and police contributing countries should have a structured voice in shaping the mandates the Council sets for them. It is necessary to have an institutional mechanism for consultations with troop and police contributing countries before mandates are adopted or reviewed, he said. Peacekeeping operations are most likely to succeed when there is a roader political process with a clearly envisioned political outcome and commensurate resources for peacekeepers, he said. We should ensure capability enhancement and commensurate resources at the point of authorisation, he added.

Visakhapatnam replaces New Delhi as venue for first India-Sri Lanka mens ODI
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Visakhapatnam has replaced New Delhi as the venue for the first mens ODI between India and Sri Lanka, to be played on December 13, said the BCCI on Thursday. The series opener will now be played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, with the date and start time unchanged. The venue change has been made following a request from the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), in view of the potential weather disruption and the proposed renovation work at the stadium, further said BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia in his statement. IANS had previously reported on September 25 that the game could be moved out of Indias national capital because of a planned major overhaul of the drainage system at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. As part of the work, the stadiums soil-based outfield will be converted into a sand-based one, apart from the pitches being relaid and recultivation of grass in the outfield. The ongoing renovation work previously led to Delhi shifting its Ranji Trophy matches to the Air Force Ground in Palam, while its hosting of the league stage matches of the ongoing Senior Womens T20 Trophy was handed over to Surat. IANS also understands that the post-Diwali air pollution in New Delhi was also another cause of concern, especially with the Air Quality Index (AQI) going upwards of 350 in December, thus posing huge risk to well-being of the players. During the drawn India-Sri Lanka Test held in New Delhi in December 2017, play was repeatedly disrupted as several Sri Lankan players were seen vomiting on the field due to poor air quality. After the ODI series opener in Visakhapatnam, further matches will be played in Bengaluru on December 16 and Ahmedabad on December 19. It is followed by three T20Is taking place in Rajkot on December 22, Cuttack on December 24 and Pune on December 27. All three ODIs will begin at 2 pm, while the T20Is are scheduled to start at 7 pm.

Gujarat: 38 fake doctors detected in 15-day statewide drive, FIRs filed against 35
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Nov 3 (IANS) The Gujarat Health Department has identified 38 suspected fake doctors during a 15-day statewide crackdown on unauthorised medical practitioners, with FIRs registered against 35 of them, Minister Praful Pansheriya said on Tuesday. The drive involved 298 teams formed by the department, which conducted inspections across all districts in coordination with local police, Crime Branch and Special Operations Group (SOG). The operation was carried out under the supervision of Additional Chief Secretary (Health) Rajiv Topno and Health Commissioner Ratankanvar Gadhvi Charan. Rajkot reported the highest number of cases, with 17 suspected fake doctors identified, followed by Surat with nine, Gir Somnath with three and Surendranagar with two. The remaining cases were reported from other areas, with one each, taking the total number of FIRs registered to 35, the minister said. Pansheriya said district-level committees had also been constituted under earlier government directives to identify and take action against people practising medicine without recognised qualifications. The committees use information from local informers to identify suspected practitioners and conduct raids. The committees comprise the Taluka Health Officer, Medical Health Officer, police sub-inspector and head constable of the concerned area, a multipurpose health supervisor, a senior clerk from the taluka health office and the talati-cum-mantri of the village or area. During the drive, officials also found that some suspected practitioners had shut their clinics and dispensaries and fled before the joint teams could reach them. The Health Department and police have continued searches and surveillance to trace them and initiate legal action, Pansheriya said. He added that the campaign would continue after Diwali and the festive period, and appealed to citizens, non-governmental organisations and local representatives to report anyone suspected of practising medicine illegally without a recognised degree. Complaints can be made to the nearest primary health centre (PHC), community health centre (CHC), police station or SOG. The minister also urged people to seek treatment only from registered practitioners holding recognised qualifications, including MBBS, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy or other government-approved medical courses. Government hospitals, CHCs and PHCs provide free treatment, medicines and laboratory diagnostic tests, he said, adding that treatment by unqualified practitioners could cause permanent harm to patients and put their lives at risk.

(Initially, Kareena and I weren't talking much at that time. We were just being polite co-stars. Then someone suggested, 'Why don't you ask her for a bike ride? She really likes motorcycles.' At that time, I had hired a bike. The roads in Ladakh are very beautiful, so I used to ride to the shooting location wearing headphones. Then they suggested, 'Why don't you take her on a bike ride?' So I asked her, 'Would you like to go on a bike ride?' And she said, 'Yes, I... you know, I would love to, I love bikes.' So I said, 'Come on, let's go) Recounting how Kareena got frightened during the ride, the actor said, So I took her on a little ride, and every two seconds,... she dug her nails into me and said, 'Stop stop stop stop! Roko roko roko roko..' You know, I was like, 'But...' So I was driving again, she said, 'Stop, stop, not so fast, not so fast..' And after a while she said, 'No, I hate bike rides..' (So I took her on a little ride, and every two seconds, she dug her nails into me and said, 'Stop, stop, stop, stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop.' I was like, 'But...' I started driving again, and she said, 'Stop, stop, not so fast, not so fast.' After a while, she said, 'No, I hate bike rides) Concluding the amusing anecdote, Saif shared what went through his mind after Kareena repeatedly asked him to stop. He said, So I said, 'Then why are we on this bike?' Then I thought, 'Ah... okay, maybe there is something else to it.' So I think we liked each other, but she did not like the bike.. For the uninitiated, Saif and Kareena's love story blossomed on the sets of Tashan, which also starred Akshay Kumar and Anil Kapoor. The two eventually fell in love while filming the action entertainer and went on to become one of Bollywood's most celebrated couples. They also worked together in films such as Omkara, Kurbaan and Agent Vinod. Saif and Kareena eventually tied the knot in October 2012. The couple are now parents to two sons, Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan.
