'SP link emerges in 90 pc of crimes': UP Minister on Jaunpur murder
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 13 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister Anil Rajbhar on Sunday launched a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) over the murder of a 22-year-old man in Jaunpur, after the victim's family accused a local SP MLA of shielding the prime accused, saying that whenever a crime takes place anywhere in the state, an SP connection is revealed in most cases. Vishal Yadav, a 22-year-old resident of Jaunpur, was allegedly brutally beaten to death with iron rods and sticks in broad daylight at the Ramdayalganj market in the district on September 11, 2026. The incident has sparked a major political controversy, with Vishal's family accusing Samajwadi Party MLA Lucky Yadav of protecting the alleged prime accused, Manish Yadav. Speaking to IANS, Rajbhar said, In the Vishal Yadav murder case, the victim's family has filed a serious complaint against the local SP MLA. The government will ensure strict action against the culprits by conducting an impartial investigation into the entire matter. Whenever a crime is committed in the state, an SP connection surfaces in 90 per cent of the cases, he said. Rajbhar said the state government had adopted a clear policy of taking strict action not only against those involved in criminal activities but also against individuals accused of providing protection or shelter to criminals. Action in such cases should be taken that sets an example for the future. The allegations made by Vishal Yadav's family will also be investigated seriously, he said. The minister further said that the government would continue taking action in the matter until the victim's family was completely satisfied with the steps taken by the authorities. The murder took place on September 11 when Vishal Yadav was returning home on a motorcycle along with his friend Sandeep after visiting a salon. According to the officials, a group of attackers intercepted the two at the Ramdayalganj market and knocked them off the motorcycle before allegedly launching a brutal assault on Vishal with iron rods and batons. Vishal sustained severe injuries in the attack and later died, triggering anger among his family members and residents. Following the incident, Vishal's family staged a protest by placing his body on the Jaunpur-Mirzapur highway, demanding action against those responsible for his death. Police have registered an FIR against 28 named accused and 50 unidentified individuals in connection with the murder. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack and the allegations levelled by the victim's family is underway. Vishal, who was the sole support for his family, used to earn a living by driving a trailer in Gujarat.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS) Union Social Justice and Empowerment Secretary Sudhansh Pant said that nearly 90,000 sewer and septic tank workers have been profiled and validated as part of an initiative to ensure dignity of sanitation workers and provide protective equipment, health insurance coverage and financial assistance. Pant added that out of 90,942 sewer and septic tank workers who have been profiled, 89,248 have been validated, according to an official statement issued on Sunday.

Tolerance is a wonderful virtue to have. Tolerance ultimately enables people from various walks of life and socio-economic and cultural backgrounds to live in harmony and also helps us respect and acknowledge differences. However, author Thomas Mann once warned, like anything, excessive tolerance, especially when it shields harmful behaviours in others, can become a hindrance and should never be tolerated.

AI can assist justice delivery, but cannot be decision-maker, says SC judge N V Anjaria
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Sep 13 (IANS) Artificial intelligence can help analyse large volumes of judicial data and identify trends that may escape the human eye, but it cannot decide what should be done in an individual case, Supreme Court judge Justice N V Anjaria said on Saturday, while stressing that AI must remain an aid, rather than a decision-maker, in the justice delivery system. Justice Anjaria was speaking at the inauguration of the India Digital ADR Summit-2026 at the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in Gandhinagar. He also launched the SAMYAK portal, a digital initiative of the universitys International Digital Dispute Resolution Centre (IDDRC). If AI is to be used on a large scale in arbitration or any judicial process, certain essential aspects have to be taken into consideration. AI can be part of the justice delivery system, but cannot be the decision-maker, Justice Anjaria said. He said AI could help understand what had happened across hundreds of cases and identify patterns and trends that might not be readily visible to humans. However, he made a distinction between using technology to assist in analysing cases and allowing it to determine the outcome of a particular case. Attorney General of India, R Venkataramani, who also addressed the gathering, spoke to law students about the importance of developing an investigative approach. Doubt, refutation and verification are the foundations of science and students must cultivate the habits of questioning, challenging and verifying information, he said. Venkataramani also described NFSU as having the potential to emerge as a global hub of excellence and said its early achievements would help establish its international reputation. Gujarat High Court Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal congratulated the IDDRC on the launch of the SAMYAK portal, describing it as a unique initiative. She said clear rules are needed for the incorporation of artificial intelligence into legal institutions. Such rules should clearly distinguish between tasks where AI could be used and those that must remain within the exclusive domain of human judgement and discretion in the dispute resolution process, she asserted. The summit was attended by former Supreme Court judges M R Shah and Rajesh Bindal, besides Gujarat State Human Rights Commission Chairman Dr K J Thaker, former Gujarat High Court Chief Justice Justice Soniya Gokani and former Chief Justice Justice Dr A C Joshi.

Coconut oil: What modern science is saying
Coconut oil is a common edible oil used in the diet by certain populations around the world, including India. It is extracted from the kernel of mature coconuts harvested from the coconut palm. There are two main types of coconut oil, namely copra oil and virgin coconut oil (VCO). According to an article published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (2019) both of these have similar fatty acid profiles, with VCO containing higher amounts of some nutrients (e.g., vitamin E) and dietary bioactive compounds (e.g., polyphenols). A recent review article in the journal Food Chemistry: X (2026) reported evidence of VCO as a functional food having antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and metabolic effects.

South Asian nations vow coordinated action against wildlife crime
Digital Desk | Kathmandu, Sep 11 (IANS) South Asian countries have pledged stronger coordinated action to prevent and combat illegal wildlife trade, including through intelligence sharing, financial investigations, anti-money laundering measures and the prosecution of organised criminal networks. The commitment was made in the Kathmandu Declaration adopted at the first General Assembly of the South Asia Wildlife Enforcement Network (SAWEN), held in Kathmandu on September 1011. SAWEN is South Asia's regional intergovernmental mechanism for combating illegal wildlife trade. Its member countries include Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bhutan. The member countries reaffirmed their strong political commitment to preventing, detecting and combating illegal wildlife trade and related forms of transnational organised crime. They said wildlife crime poses threats to the region's natural heritage and biodiversity, as well as to the rule of law, security and sustainable development. The countries agreed to address serious wildlife crime, particularly cases involving organised criminal groups operating across national borders, through coordinated criminal justice responses. These measures include intelligence-led and financial investigations, anti-money laundering measures, asset recovery and effective prosecution, according to the declaration. The countries also expressed their support for regional and global initiatives aimed at strengthening the recognition and treatment of serious wildlife crime as a form of transnational organised crime, the declaration states. We commit to strengthening information and intelligence sharing, coordinated enforcement action and criminal justice collaboration among Member Countries, consistent with national laws and applicable international obligations, it said. The South Asian countries also agreed to promote science, technology, innovation, research and regional knowledge sharing to strengthen their response to wildlife crime. Such cooperation will also focus on combating biopiracy, illegal access to biological resources and emerging threats, according to the declaration. The Assembly decided to observe January 30 every year as SAWEN Day, commemorating the formal launch of the network in Bhutan in 2011. The South Asian countries also adopted the SAWEN Implementation Plan 20262030 and endorsed a three-year programme of work and budget for 2026/272028/29. These plans will focus on regional enforcement and intelligence cooperation, criminal justice responses, capacity development, marine and freshwater wildlife crime, international cooperation, research and knowledge management, demand reduction, and institutional strengthening, Nepal's Ministry of Agriculture, Forests and Environment said in a press statement on Friday. A South Asia Illegal Wildlife Trade Landscape Workshop was also held on September 10, bringing together representatives from member countries to discuss national wildlife-crime landscapes, emerging trends, enforcement experiences and priorities for cross-border cooperation. The event also saw the release of the Zero Poaching Toolkit 2026, the photo book A Journey of SAWEN and the institutional film Evolution of SAWEN. The decisions have been made, and the direction has been given. Our responsibility now is to turn them into action, SAWEN Secretary General Krishna Prasad Acharya said.

Climate Justice is Disability Justice
Dear readers, I am coming to you a little less upbeat than usual. The news has been heavy and so has the work of making sense of it. I am writing this piece from a sweltering Kuala Lumpur. In a typical Kashmiri, dam chu sahi ( it is too humid). Extreme weather events like cloudbursts, heatwaves, flash floods and this years super elnino killed hundreds in the sub-continent in the past few weeks. I am invited to be part of the workshop, convened under Chatham House Rules, discussing climate resilience. I am representing Indias 27 million Persons with Disabilities. Kashmir lives on a Powder Keg Kashmir has always known rain. What it did not know was humidity that clings to the skin, flash floods that erase roads overnight or summers that feel less Himalayan and more tropical. Growing up in the Valley, summer evenings carried a familiar coolness. Ceiling fans gathered dust, and the idea of oppressive humidity belonged to distant cities on Indias coast. Today, the air feels heavier. The seasons no longer arrive when they should, nor do they leave when expected. Climate change, once something I reported on through statistics and scientific studies, has become something I can feel on my own skin. Every few minutes, my phone vibrates with another news alert. A cloudburst in Chenab and landslides in Pir Panjal range. Roads swallowed by flash floods in the Central part of Kashmir. Rivers overflowing down south. Families searching for missing relatives. Rescue teams racing against time. Every notification carries a question that rarely appears in newspaper headlines. Who cares for PwDs? When disasters strike, we measure rainfall, wind speed, heavy snowfall, damaged roads and economic losses. Television cameras focus on helicopters hovering above flooded towns or rescue workers carrying children to safety. These stories matter. But they often miss another story- the telling tale of PwDs who are not considered stakeholders in the first place because they are forgotten when policy makers write the disaster response plans. The wheelchair user whose home has become inaccessible long before floodwater reaches the front door. The deaf woman who never hears the evacuation siren. The blind commuter is stranded because public transport has stopped functioning. The person with epilepsy who watches their medication run out while roads remain blocked for days. The child living with severe ADHD whose parents cannot carry both their child and the assistive devices that make everyday life possible. Climate disasters do not create these vulnerabilities. They expose barriers that already existed. For persons with disabilities, climate change is not simply another environmental challenge layered onto ordinary life. It magnifies inequalities that society has long ignored. Every broken footpath, every government building without a ramp, every disaster warning available only in one format becomes more dangerous as temperatures rise and extreme weather becomes more frequent. Climate change does not affect everyone equally because society has never treated everyone equally. Does SDRF Kashmir possess the latest data of PwDs? What is their progress report? How do they rescue PwDs when any natural calamity strikes Srinagar? Persons with disabilities are up to four times more likely to die during natural disasters than people without disabilities. Healthy people on a sick planet? Indias Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 requires district disaster management authorities to maintain records of persons with disabilities within their jurisdictions. The idea is simple but profoundly important: before a flood, cyclone or landslide occurs, authorities should already know who may require additional assistance, where they live and what support they might need during an emergency. In practice, however, this remains one of the weakest links in disaster preparedness. In many districts, disability data is incomplete, outdated or simply unavailable. When flash floods wash away roads or cloudbursts isolate villages, local officials often do not know how many disabled residents remain trapped, let alone whether they need wheelchairs, oxygen support or sign language interpretation. Rescue operations become exercises in improvisation rather than preparedness. You cannot rescue people whom the system has never bothered to count. When disability is invisible in government records, it becomes invisible in disaster planning. When it is absent from planning, it disappears from budgets, emergency drills and evacuation protocols. Eventually, it disappears from public memory itself. What remains visible are the collapsed bridges, submerged houses and damaged highways. What remains invisible are the disabled people who spent hours waiting for someone to remember that they existed. Climate change exposes many inequalities, but perhaps none more starkly than the difference between those whom the state anticipates and those whom it remembers only after tragedy has struck. The toxic air we breathe Much of the conversation around climate change begins with dramatic images rivers bursting their banks, forests consumed by fire, murky waters entering our lanes and eventually our homes. But for many disabled people, climate change begins much earlier. It begins with the air we breathe. Air pollution is an invisible passenger. It enters through our lungs but travels throughout the body, damaging nearly every organ. It knows no borders. Five years ago, while researching at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), an environmental think-tank based in New Delhi, I learned that air pollution was responsible for an estimated 8.1 million premature deaths in 2021, making it the second-leading global risk factor for death. Yet its toll often goes unrecognized. Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, a nine-year-old girl from London, became the first person whose death certificate officially identified air pollution as a cause of death. Her death might have been prevented had her family understood the risks posed by the toxic air. When pollution remains invisible in public discourse, it becomes even deadlier. Now imagine breathing that same polluted air while living with a disability. A person with muscular dystrophy often has reduced respiratory capacity. Someone living with cerebral palsy may already struggle with recurrent respiratory infections. People with compromised immune systems, neurological conditions or chronic heart disease frequently have far less room to absorb additional environmental stress before their health deteriorates. Yet despite growing research on climate and public health, disability remains remarkably absent from the conversation. Disabled people, however, frequently disappear into statistical silence. We know polluted air harms everyone. We know disabled people often experience poorer health outcomes. What we rarely know is how these two realities intersect because disability is so often omitted from environmental research itself. That absence of knowledge has consequences. If governments do not understand how pollution uniquely affects disabled communities, they cannot design public health interventions that protect them. What goes unmeasured rarely becomes a political priority. Earth feels feverish Heatwaves are double-whammy for disabled population. During the record-breaking summer of 2024, Delhi crossed 49 degrees Celsius. Newspapers reported record-breaking temperatures, overloaded hospitals and soaring electricity demand. What received far less attention was what extreme heat meant inside the homes of disabled people. Imagine depending on an electric wheelchair during prolonged power cuts. Imagine medication that must remain refrigerated when refrigerators stop working. Imagine living alone on the third floor of a building without an elevator, unable to relocate to a cooling centre because simply leaving home requires assistance. You can beat the heat by jumping into your village canal, what option is left for your peer with a wheelchair? Heat hurts. I have reported from some Adivasi belts. I know some people with disabilities do not move an inch on their own in this unforgiving heat. Last year in Jharkhand, I saw women and children with disabilities living in abject poverty spending entire afternoons beneath tin roofs that trapped heat well after sunset. Elderly residents were unable to sleep because indoor temperatures remained dangerously high. Families who never appeared in official heat-related statistics because no one was looking inside their houses. For someone with limited mobility, home is not always a sanctuary. During a prolonged heatwave, it can become a prison. Public discussions often present air conditioning as the obvious solution. But adaptation cannot depend upon appliances that millions cannot afford. Persons with disabilities in India continue to experience significantly lower employment rates and greater economic insecurity than the general population. Cooling technologies remain financially inaccessible for many households already struggling to meet healthcare expenses. Even where air conditioning is available, widespread dependence on energy-intensive cooling creates another paradox. Individual homes become cooler while cities themselves become hotter. The solution for some cannot deepen vulnerability for everyone else. Climate adaptation that ignores economic inequality merely redistributes comfort rather than creating resilience. Natural disasters and mental health Climate calamities have made the life of PwDs extremely difficult sans proper disaster preparedness plans. Everyday life already involves negotiating inaccessible infrastructure, discrimination and bureaucratic indifference. Climate change layers another uncertainty onto that experience. It transforms ordinary anxieties into persistent fears. Have we ever paused to reflect on something nobody cares to notice: mental health of PwDs in natural disasters. It doesnt feature in disaster recovery. Recovery is measured by rebuilt roads, restored electricity and compensation packages. Nobody measures what it did to someone who cant speak his pain out. Eco-ableism As climate anxiety grows, we are increasingly encouraged to adopt environmentally responsible lifestyles: cycle instead of driving, walk instead of using vehicles, avoid air conditioning, and consume differently. Many of these changes are valuable. But they often assume that everyone has the same body. A wheelchair user cannot simply choose to cycle. A visually impaired commuter cannot always depend on inaccessible public transport. Someone living with chronic illness may require diets that do not fit neatly into popular sustainability campaigns. When environmental conversations ignore these realities, they unintentionally create a hierarchy of good citizens based upon physical ability. In trying to build a greener future, we risk reproducing the same exclusions that disabled people have spent decades fighting. Disability inclusion cannot become an afterthought within climate activism. It has to shape the movement itself. After all, accessibility is sustainability. Universal design is not merely a disability issue. It is climate adaptation. Climate justice must include disability justice India ranked 176th out of 177 countries in the environmental performance index 2026, placing it among the lowest performing nations globally. We deserve a thundering applause for this achievement. No? Truth be told, we have harmed earth beyond measure but there are reasons for cautious optimism. The Apex court has increasingly recognised extreme heat as a question of constitutional rights rather than seasonal inconvenience. In Beat the Heatwave and Climate Change vs Union of India, it directed governments to strengthen heat action plans, establish cooling spaces and prioritise vulnerable populations. The National Human Rights Commission has similarly urged states to improve preparedness before heatwaves claim more lives. These are encouraging developments. But meaningful change will not come only from courtrooms. Disabled people should not be consulted only after climate policies have already been drafted. They should help design those policies from the beginning. That means early warning systems available through text, audio, visual alerts and sign language. It means relief camps with accessible toilets, ramps and adequate lighting. It means district disaster authorities maintain accurate disability data before emergencies occur rather than searching for vulnerable residents after disaster strikes. It means ensuring uninterrupted access to medicines, electricity and assistive devices during extreme weather. Most importantly, it means recognising disabled people not as beneficiaries of climate policy but as experts in resilience. Outro The climate crisis is forcing us to rethink how we build cities, design transport, organise healthcare and prepare for disasters. It also demands that we rethink something more fundamental: whose lives are imagined when the future is planned. The floods will return. The heat will become more intense. The rains will grow more unpredictable. Nature will continue to test our resilience. Whether disabled people are once again left waiting, however, is no longer a question of nature. It is a question of political will. Of public imagination. And ultimately, of whether we believe every life is equally worth protecting before the storm arrives. Over 1.3 billion PwDs are among the most vulnerable to climate impacts yet remain the least represented in climate solutions and policy decisions. Climate justice cannot be achieved without disability justice. Inclusion is not optional. It is a necessity. Nothing About Us, Without Us.

Pakistan Cyber Crime Investigation Agency Probes Rizwan, Imam Over Suspected Financial Dealings
National Cybercrime Investigation Agency: Pakistan cricketers Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq appeared before Pakistan's National Cybercrime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Lahore over the alleged information leaks from the team's dressing room. The Pakistan Cricket Board had reportedly handed the two players' mobile phones to the relevant authorities in the aftermath of their removal, along with five other players from Pakistan's squad for the England Test series. As per a report in Pakistan-based The News International, the NCCIA is examining financial matters and suspected transactions involving the two players. The investigators are probing the financial dealings of the two players before and during the ongoing Test series, as their bank account details are also under scrutiny. The investigators are also looking at any bank account transactions during this period, and if they are found, they will be looking at the source of the funds. Rizwan and Imam were among the seven players released from the squad following the disastrous two Test matches against England. Those seven players were sent home, with the Pakistan Cricket Board injecting seven other players into the squad and later beginning an internal disciplinary inquiry. The two players had appeared before the NCCIA after being summoned in connection with the inquiry into the alleged leaks. The players submitted their written responses and sought additional time from the investigators to give full responses to the notices. The NCCIA is expected to question Rizwan and Imam further too. It quoted sources saying that the PCB took possession of the players' mobile phones and sent them to the NCCIA, as the devices will be unlocked and examined during the inquiry. The inquiry, it added, will be focusing on how sensitive team information might have surfaced during the series. Pakistan cricket seems to be in turmoil again after their poor performances in England. Following their heavy defeats in Leeds and Lord's, PCB removed seven players - Rizwan, Imam, Salman Agha, Ali Usman, Aamer Jamal, Awais Zafar, and Khurram Shahzad from the squad and sent them back home. The PCB also removed Test head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul from the squad. PCB chair Mohsin Naqvi spoke on the removals, stating the board was left with no option other than to remove the players. Every match of a series is important for us, and we are not left with any option if a player is not performing but to look for his replacement. The purpose behind these changes is not to axe players from contention, but just to replace them. Consider (Salman) Agha, who is a very good player, but he could not click because of some reasons. He was spoken to about it, Naqvi had told Geo Network. Pakistan cricket seems to be in turmoil again after their poor performances in England.
