KGMU warns nursing students of disciplinary action over protest, attendance impact
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 29 (IANS) The King Georges Medical University (KGMU) administration has warned nursing students participating in a renewed protest that disciplinary action could be taken against them if they remain absent from scheduled teaching and training activities. In a letter addressed to the parents of nursing students, the university said students participating in the protest and remaining absent from their academic and training duties could face action under applicable rules and regulations. According to the letter, students were participating in the protest from 8 a.m. on September 28 and were absent from their prescribed teaching and training activities. The administration said participation in protests that disrupt teaching, training and essential patient-related work was inconsistent with university discipline and students academic responsibilities. The letter specifically warned that disciplinary proceedings could have consequences for students academic records and examinations. Such action may include, as per rules, an adverse entry in the character record/file, impact on eligibility to appear in examinations and other prescribed punitive action, along with a monetary penalty, the letter said. The university further cautioned that such action could adversely affect students academic record and future career. KGMU appealed to parents to ask their sons and daughters to immediately withdraw from the protest and return to their scheduled teaching and training duties. It warned that failure to comply with the universitys directions could result in disciplinary proceedings under the applicable rules. The renewed protest follows the death of a 2025-batch B.Sc. Nursing student in Varanasi. The incident had earlier prompted nursing students to stage protests on August 21 and 22, according to the KGMU letter. The administration said that following the earlier protest, the Vice-Chancellor had met the students and considered their concerns and demands. The university also said that necessary action had been taken and a separate Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) had been issued concerning students safety and facilities. However, the latest letter states that despite these measures, some nursing students again participated in a sit-in protest on September 28 and remained absent from their scheduled teaching and training activities. KGMU said students have academic responsibilities that include teaching, training and essential duties related to patients. It maintained that participation in protests that interfere with these responsibilities would not be considered consistent with university discipline. The warning comes as the university seeks to enforce attendance and academic requirements while students continue to raise concerns over issues affecting nursing students. The administration has made clear that students who do not follow the universitys directions may face disciplinary proceedings, including possible adverse entries in their records, consequences for examination eligibility and financial penalties, as provided under the applicable rules.

DCP Md Mustaque said that an intensive checking drive had been ordered, and police teams were deployed accordingly in the Krishna Nagar police station area. Tonight, an order was issued for an intensive checking drive. In line with that order, under the Krishna Nagar police station area, our police team stopped a few suspects. Among them, one accused fired at the police. In self-defence, the police team retaliated, during which one accused sustained a gunshot wound. He was immediately taken to the hospital for medical treatment, the DCP said. He added that preliminary inquiry established the identity of the accused as Bhola and that he was wanted in connection with the murder of a woman.

Anushman Jha: I make movies to connect, my attempt has never been transactional
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 28 (IANS) Actors Soni Razdan and Raghubir Yadavs Om Ka Hari is to have its special screenings for over 50 Army centres in India. The films producer Anshuman Jha calls it the old-school way of connecting with audiences and added further that he makes movies to connect. Anshuman will travel across 15 cities from Monday onwards, including Delhi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Agra, Jaipur, Bengaluru and Patna to host special screenings. Anshuman said in a statement: This is the old-school way of connecting with audiences, not just selling a film to them. I make movies to connect, and my attempt has never been transactional; it has always been emotional. So I am willing to keep working harder and going further to reach my audience. Charlie Chaplin used to take his films from city to city. I want to do that with Om Ka Hari. I want to sit with audiences, watch the film with them, hear what they feel, and have conversations with them. He said that the love for Om Ka Hari is real, and he wants to keep walking that extra mile to take the film to more people and, hopefully, spread the message at its heart: express your love to your parents while you still have the chance. With 25 cinemas retaining the film into Week 2 and 50+ Army Centre screenings lined up across India, Om Ka Hari is now entering its second week with continued word-of-mouth momentum. The Army Centre screenings are expected to bring the film to thousands of viewers nationwide, with over 50 centres hosting screenings. Om Ka Hari explores the complexities of the father-son relationship through comedy, drama and the things families often struggle to say to one another. Directed by Harish Vyas, Om Ka Hari stars Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav in the titular roles of Om and Hari. The film follows a stubborn father and his independent-minded son, whose relationship is shaped by generational differences, disagreements and deeply held expectations. When Hari believes he has only a few days left to live, he decides to make a journey to Varanasi, with Om accompanying him. What begins as a journey marked by conflict gradually becomes an opportunity for the two to confront the love, hurt and things left unsaid between them.
