Beyond the Stigma of Infertility: Making Space for Mental Health

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with infertility that rest and relaxation cannot fix. It is the exhaustion of waiting, hoping, grieving, and having to pick yourself back up quietly to try again. It is the anxiety that comes with every appointment, every blood test, every ultrasound, and every phone call with results that could change the course of your life.

The exercise included a simulated counter-terror response, area sanitisation and assessment of casualty management and emergency medical arrangements. Community policing also remained a focus, with Thana Diwas meetings held at different police stations.

Run for Unity events were held at Garoora, Hajin, Sumbal and other locations, while the main district-level run was organised in coordination with the District Administration and 3rd Battalion CRPF from Mini Secretariat Bandipora to Chitternar. Pledge ceremonies were also conducted at all police stations and police posts. At District Police Lines, SSP Tahir Saleem-JKPS administered the Ekta Diwas pledge, followed by a ceremonial march past. The event was attended by officers from the civil administration, police and CRPF, besides students.

Lucknow SIM box racket: Crime Branch intensifies technical probe; 192 e-SIMs, Chinese-made devices under scanner

The Lucknow Crime Branch on Monday intensified its technical investigation into an illegal SIM Box network unearthed recently in the Uttar Pradesh capital, leading to several key revelations, police officials said. In earlier operations, police had busted multiple hideouts and seized six illegal 32-port SIM Box devices, along with routers and VPN Gateways. According to officials familiar with the probe, technical analysis of the seized hardware revealed 192 active e-SIMs embedded in the setup. Investigators also found that the recovered telecom equipment bore Made in China markings. In a bid to evade surveillance and law enforcement scrutiny, the accused avoided conventional CCTV setups and instead installed Wi-Fi-enabled smart face-detection doorbells to monitor movements outside their premises discreetly, investigators noted. Preliminary investigations also suspect that the sophisticated SIM Box devices were smuggled into India disguised within sound amplifier components. Police ha...

Guwahati hotel shooting: Accused taken to crime scene for recreation of incident as probe intensifies

Digital Desk | Guwahati, Nov 2 (IANS) Assam Police on Monday took Ghanakanta Gogoi, the prime accused in the October 26 shooting at Hotel Bilas Inn in Guwahatis Ulubari area, to the crime scene for recreation of the incident as part of the ongoing investigation into the killing of five people. Gogoi was brought to the hotel in the morning, where investigators are expected to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the shooting and verify the accuseds version against the evidence collected during the probe. The incident occurred around 9 p.m. near Bora Service on GS Road on October 26, leaving five people dead and one injured. The deceased were identified as Helena Bharali, her son Debarshi Ishan Kashyap, his wife Rinika, Helenas brother Bhudev Bharali and Narayan Das, reportedly a caretaker of Bhudev. Satyendra Pathak, the driver of the family, sustained injuries in the firing and was admitted to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for treatment. Gogoi was arrested within an hour of the shooting. Police also recovered a .32-calibre pistol allegedly used in the crime. During the preliminary investigation, police examined a possible dispute surrounding the renewal of the lease agreement of Hotel Bilas Inn. Allegations of pending rent and electricity dues also emerged as investigators sought to establish the circumstances behind the deadly confrontation. In another development, Gogois wife was questioned by police at Paltan Bazar Police Station until midnight on November 1. During questioning, she reportedly spoke about conversations with her husband following the shooting. According to her account, Gogoi contacted her shortly after the incident and allegedly told her that several people had been putting pressure on him. He also reportedly cautioned her to remain careful and ensure the safety of their daughter. Police are examining these claims alongside other evidence to establish the sequence of events, the motive behind the shooting and whether anyone else was involved. The crime scene reconstruction is expected to be an important part of the investigation as police attempt to piece together the circumstances surrounding one of Guwahatis deadliest shooting incidents in recent times.

Cybercrime and Drug Addiction

Two dangers are increasingly testing families and communities: cybercrime, which exploits trust and technology, and drug addiction, which can erode health, dignity and hope. They may appear to belong to separate worldsthe screen and the streetbut both thrive where awareness is weak, support arrives late, and accountability is absent. Cyber fraud has become harder to recognise. A convincing call, message or link can trick people into sharing passwords, bank details or one-time codes. Older people, students and first-time digital users may be especially exposed, but no one is immune. The response cannot stop at warning people to be careful. Banks, telecom companies and digital platforms must make reporting simpler, act swiftly on suspicious accounts and help victims limit losses. Police cyber units need adequate staff, training and public-facing guidance so complaints are not lost in confusion or delay. Prevention begins at home and in schools. People should be taught not to share verification codes, to check a sender before clicking, and to report fraud promptly. But awareness campaigns must be practical and regularnot a poster seen once and forgotten. Victims also need reassurance. Shame and fear of blame can keep them silent, allowing offenders to target others. Drug addiction demands the same seriousness, but a different kind of response. It is not merely a law-and-order problem; it is a public-health and social challenge. Enforcement against those who traffic in drugs is essential, yet people struggling with addiction need timely treatment, counselling and a path back into education, work and community life. Treating every affected person as a criminal can drive the problem underground and make recovery harder. Families should be able to seek help without stigma. Schools, colleges, health centres and community organisations can identify warning signs early and direct people to qualified support. Treatment services must be accessible, confidential and sustained; a single intervention cannot substitute for follow-up care. At the same time, authorities must pursue those who profit from addiction, focusing on supply networks rather than simply displaying arrests as evidence of progress. Both crises expose the cost of delayed action. Cybercrime requires stronger safeguards and faster reporting; addiction requires prevention, treatment and firm action against traffickers. Neither can be managed by one department alone. Government agencies, educators, health professionals, families, technology providers and civil society must share responsibilityand measure success by whether people are safer and help is easier to reach. Kashmirs response must be compassionate without being complacent. Protecting people online and helping them recover from addiction are not separate tasks; they are part of the same duty to safeguard lives, livelihoods and the future.

The invisible hazard of home radon

Radon gas is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive noble gas that serves as the leading environmental cause of cancer deaths and the second-leading cause of lung cancer worldwide after cigarette smoking. It can accumulate undetected in residential spaces, posing a severe and preventable threat to public health. A new observational cohort study published in Neuroepidemiology (2026) that followed close to 160,000 postmenopausal women from the Womens Health Initiative for an average of close to 18 years has identified a new association of home radon with brain cancer. Though the research about this association is in its infancy, there are other known harms of home radon.

Text of the Resolution For The Public Impeachment Of Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, Chief Election Commissioner Of India

THE MEMBERS OF Parliament of the INDIA Janbandhan (Peoples Alliance) representing over 60% of the population of India and citizens assembled in New Delhi on October 31, 2026, affirming their firmest commitment to universal adult franchise as enshrined in Article 326 of the Constitution of India that is under the gravest threat by the actions of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, hereby resolve that he be impeached on the following charges: Charge I : The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, has overseen and participated in a devious and malevolent criminal conspiracy orchestrated by the BJP to steal National and State elections. He has willingly broken the rule of law by allowing them to access voter rolls, to delete and add voters at will and manipulate the outcome of the elections. He is guilty of operationalizing a premeditated attack on the electoral process that is the very foundation of Indias democracy. This is a criminal act and an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India. Charge II: The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, is directly responsible for a manipulated, truncated and destructive Special Intensive Revision of the Electoral Rolls. He has ensured the intentional deletion of 13.2 crore voters, depriving them of the fundamental right to vote guaranteed to them by the Constitution of India, in a manner that is partisan, opaque and flagrantly violative of natural justice. This is a criminal act and an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India. Charge III : The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, is guilty of illegally, without Parliamentary oversight or knowledge, having amended Form 6 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, thereby entering into a criminal conspiracy to prevent the enrollment of first-time voters and stealing from them the fundamental right to vote guaranteed by the Constitution of India effectively negating their rights as citizens of India. This is an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India. Charge IV : The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, is guilty of illegally centralizing control over the electoral rolls in the ECI, through the malicious use of the ERONET/ECINET software, with the aim to delete voters and to prevent local EROs from adding legitimate voters. This is a criminal attempt to tamper with the process of free and fair elections upon which the democratic framework of India is founded. It is an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India. Charge V : The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, is guilty of having willfully violated the law along with seven associates in the Election Commission of India while deliberately and unlawfully excluding the other two Election Commissioners from decision making, prompting them to place no less than 14 objections on record. This is a clear infringement of the mandate of the Election Commission as laid down by the Constitution of India and an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India. Charge VI : The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, has breached his constitutional mandate to act in an independent capacity to ensure free and fair elections and uphold the Constitution of India. He has repeatedly attacked the opposition, denied it hearing, locked the Election Commission of India to prevent leaders from pleading their case and watched in silence as opposition leaders were illegally disqualified, prevented from fighting elections and brutally assaulted on the streets outside his office. In return for this shameful compliance with the ruling BJP, several of Mr. Gyanesh Kumars family members have received benefits and considerations including by way of plum postings and unprecedented opportunities for remuneration. By acting brazenly against his constitutional mandate at the behest of the Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi and Home Minister, Mr. Amit Shah, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar has betrayed the trust and faith of the Indian people. He has willfully undermined the rule of law and participated in a criminal conspiracy to manipulate and falsify the results of democratically held elections that are the bedrock of Indias democracy. These are acts of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India. In the light of the above facts, it is clear that lifelong legal protection provided to the Chief Election Commissioner Mr. Gyanesh Kumar by Prime Minister Narendra Modis government in December 2023, were intended as a cover for the criminal activities enacted by him against the nation and the Constitution of India and that he must be removed forthwith. The Members of Parliament of the INDIA Janbandhan representing over 60% of the population of India and citizens assembled in New Delhi on October 31, 2026, resolve that for this gross betrayal of the people of India the Chief Election Commissioner Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, must be tried for treason in a court of law in accordance with the legal framework of the Constitution of India.

He said the police would elaborate separately on the measures being undertaken to address these concerns, stressing that the occasion was dedicated to celebrating national unity and integrity. The Kashmir Police chiefs remarks came as security forces, police personnel, students and young people gathered at Lal Chowk to participate in National Unity Day celebrations marking the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Describing Lal Chowk as a historic witness to the celebrations, Kumar said the gathering had provided an opportunity for people in Kashmir to join the nationwide observance of Rashtriya Ekta Diwas. Today, we celebrated Ekta Diwas at historic Lal Chowk. We witnessed the live broadcast of the Ekta Diwas parade from Kevadia in Gujarat, where the Prime Minister addressed the nation, he said. The IGP said Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, personnel from Jammu and Kashmir Police and Central Armed Police Forces, schoolchildren and Kashmiri youth participated in the programme and listened to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address. Referring to the Prime Minister's message, Kumar said the occasion had reinforced the responsibility of citizens and security agencies to protect the country's unity and integrity. The Prime Minister has given us the responsibility of safeguarding the unity and integrity of the country. Whatever challenges come before the police and security forces in the coming days, we are prepared to face them, he said. Asked specifically about the growing threat of cybercrime and the steps being taken to counter it, the IGP acknowledged the seriousness of the challenge but said a detailed discussion on the issue would be held separately. He also referred to the narcotics problem and activities threatening national security, indicating that the police were approaching these challenges with renewed focus. Kumar, however, emphasised that the immediate significance of the day lay in celebrating the country's unity and collective commitment to national integrity. Today is the day of national unity, the day of the country's togetherness. We should celebrate it. I extend my greetings to everyone on National Unity Day, he said.

PM Modi slams Oppn, says India must unite against forces dividing nation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday attacked the Opposition, saying it had turned into Avrodh Paksh (obstructive force) rather than Virodh Paksh (opposing group), underscoring that the country needs to stay united.
