In an era where supernatural thrillers are finding an increasingly curious audience, actress Sheena Chohan is all set to play an unconventional character in the upcoming film Justice and Death. Playing a ghost who is on an unusual search for her own colourful coffin, Sheena steps into a mysterious world that is unlike anything she has explored on screen before. Starring Sheena Chohan alongside Rajshri Deshpande and Bidita Bag, Justice and Death is directed by Bappaditya Bandopadhyay and produced by Homemade Films, with Shankar Dey. The film brings together three interconnected stories, each exploring different dimensions of justice, human relationships, faith, mortality and the supernatural. What makes Sheenas character particularly intriguing is her unusual journey. She portrays a young woman who exists in the supernatural realm and finds herself searching for her own colourful coffin, while sharing an unconventional connection with a gravedigger. Blending mystery, eccentricity and emotional depth, the character takes her into an entirely different performance space, demanding a unique understanding of physicality, psychology and expression. Talking about what drew her to the character and why she chose to take up this unusual role, Sheena Chohan said, I was immediately drawn to how unusual and unpredictable this character was. I have never played anyone like her before, and that was precisely what excited me. Playing a ghost searching for her own coffin is such an unconventional concept, but beneath that supernatural exterior lies a fascinating emotional world. It challenged me to move beyond my usual understanding of a character and explore a completely different side of performance. I learnt that sometimes the most unusual characters have the most human emotions. It was an opportunity to experiment, take creative risks and discover something new as an actor. Speaking about her preparation and the process of inhabiting this mystical character, Sheena added, My theatre training played a huge role in helping me approach this character. I spent time researching, understanding her psychology and exploring how to inhabit someone so mysterious and otherworldly. I wanted to find the human emotions beneath the supernatural exterior and develop her physicality, energy and silences. We shot in the hills of Cherrapunji, and I remember staying alone in an old, almost haunted bungalow. The atmosphere of that place was incredibly evocative. I genuinely felt its mysterious aura, and it became a wonderful source of inspiration, helping me absorb the energy of the surroundings and bring an authentic sense of mystery to my performance. I had tremendous fun discovering and creating her. With its three parallel narratives and unconventional storytelling, Justice and Death aims to be a distinctive cinematic experience. For Sheena, the film marks an addition to her filmography, allowing her to experiment with a character that challenges conventional ideas of life, death and everything in between. Justice and Death is all set to release soon on a leading OTT streaming platform.

Punjab Congress launches campaign against drugs, crime
Digital Desk | Mohali, Nov 11 (IANS) Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Legislative Assembly, Partap Singh Bajwa, and state Congress chief Pargat Singh on Wednesday participated in a series of engagements in Mohali, near here, focusing on the issues confronting the state and the partys roadmap for the states revival. Continuing the momentum of Rahul Gandhis Insaaf Rally, Bajwa joined Pargat Singh in flagging off the Punjab Mangda Insaaf campaign. The campaign aims to build a collective movement against the growing menace of drugs, crime, corruption and the deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab. The initiative will reach out to different sections of society, particularly families affected by drug abuse and criminal violence, and provide a platform for people to raise their concerns and demand justice. Through public interactions and grassroots mobilisation, the campaign will seek to hold the government accountable for its failures and highlight the urgent need to restore safety, dignity and justice in Punjab. Later, Bajwa interacted with representatives of the industrial sector and held detailed discussions on the opportunities and challenges facing Punjabs industry. He assured the industry representatives that a Congress government in 2027 would formulate a progressive, investor-friendly and effective industrial policy aimed at addressing the concerns of entrepreneurs, facilitating investment, promoting innovation and generating employment. He emphasised that Punjab must regain its position as a leading industrial destination and that the states entrepreneurs should receive the policy support and enabling environment necessary to compete at national and international levels. Reviving industrial growth, he said, would be central to rebuilding Punjabs economy. Bajwa and Pargat Singh also addressed a meeting of Congress workers here, interacting with party leaders and grassroots workers. They discussed organisational strengthening, public outreach and the need to take the partys message to every constituency and section of society. Both leaders reiterated their commitment to working collectively to restore Punjabs progress, protect peoples rights and build a prosperous, secure and equitable future for the state.

Bunker Roy (1945-2026): A Compassionate Revolutionary in Tilonia Assuming Planetary Significance
SANJIT BUNKER ROY , the founder of Barefoot College and one of India's best-known and globally acclaimed grassroots development workers, was a splendid example of an Indian whose life and work represented a passionate and arduous striving for uplifting village people and ensuring them their legitimate entitlements in tune with Mahatma Gandhis vision of heralding renaissance across vast swathes of rural India. His sad demise on November 10, 2026, at his home in Tilonia, Rajasthan, in the presence of his illustrious activist wife, Aruna Ray and several villagers underscored his enduring legacy of exemplary service to village people till his last breath. He was 81, and his extraordinary constructive work for the rural folks constituted a shining example of revolutionising the lives of villagers in a compassionate manner. Born into a prominent Brahmo upper-middle-class family from Kolkata in 1945, Roy had the privilege of being groomed with a secular outlook and educated in the elite Doon School in Dehradun and St Stephens College in Delhi. His own self-critical evaluation of his education was best expressed when he said, I went to the wrong school, wrong college and came back with a lot of arrogance. After my education, he said, I had a lot of fancy degrees and was told that I could overcome any problem. What transformed his life and outlook was his visit to famine-ravaged Palamu in Bihar (now Jharkhand) in 1966 and his utter inability to cope up with life in a village there in spite of studying in excellent educational institutions and securing high distinctions as a bright student. Apart from his excellence as a student, he proved himself to be an accomplished sportsperson by becoming Indias squash champion thrice. But the inner driving force silently guiding Bunker was an irresistible yearning which could be best described by employing the caption of an article Wanted Rural Mindedness authored by Mahatma Gandhi. He deeply realised that in spite of getting schooled in the best of educational institutions, he was incapable of placing himself in a rural setting marked by the absence of essential conditions for acquiring social and educational capabilities to lead a dignified life. Therefore, he preferred to stay in a village and resolved to improve the lived experience of villagers by establishing the Social Work and Research Centre (SWRC) in Tilonia, Rajasthan. The organisation was reckoned with great admiration across the world as Barefoot College emerged as a nucleus for harnessing the invaluable skills of village dwellers which they never got through the formal process of schooling in any educational institution, be it an institute of technology or engineering. What he did through that College for augmenting the human development indices of the village by liberating them from the whirlpool of deprivation and discrimination is worthy of emulation for our time, marked by the accelerated process of urbanisation and AI-driven algorithms mocking peoples traditional skills acquired through the process of living by using locally available resources. Bunker Roys articulations in the context of Tilonia and Barefoot College that Every failure is a beginning. Everyone had a chance in Tilonia. This is a place for cop outs, drop-outs and washouts embodied the optimism of Gandhi, who famously said that he would harness the ability of dumb millions to liberate India from the clutches of the mighty British Empire. That was the reason why Roy, while drawing on the strength of village people devoid of formal educational qualifications, brought together the most ordinary village people, a large segment of which consisted of women. It was fascinating to see such women, never having attended school, emerge as engineers to harness electricity from sunlight and hailed as Solar Mamas for their contributions in bringing clean energy to thousands of houses and even communities located in distant parts of the world. Women from the villages were initially trained as handpump istrys, excelled as solar mamas and forged their tryst with empowerment and set an example for the rest of the country and indeed the world. Its model placed technical knowledge in the hands of people who were often excluded from discussions about technology and development. Education was another important part of Roy's work. Barefoot College established night schools for children who could not attend regular classes because they worked or helped their families during the day. The initiative recognised that conventional schooling did not always accommodate the circumstances of rural children. The institution also worked on rainwater harvesting, healthcare and traditional crafts, linking its programmes to the everyday requirements of village life. When, in 1986, he was conferred with Padma Shri, the citation catalogued his precious work in employing the phrase, Tilonia Movement, and remarking that the idea was to start a process of generating awareness and at the same time demystifying technology, making it simple, effective, inexpensive and accessible. In the Thinkers Category listed by Time Magazine in 2010, he figured as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Several other prestigious awards such as the Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Application of Science and Technology for Rural Development (1985), the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement (2004), the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship (2005), the Blue Planet Prize (2011) and the Clinton Global Citizen Award in 2013 testified to his glorious legacy rooted in his enduring services driven by the passion to uplift rural areas by adopting sustainable paths of development. A year back in 2025, King Charles III of the United Kingdom referred to the precious work done by Roy and remarked, I am constantly singing your praises whenever I can, especially in Africa. There is much to discuss as I have many initiatives going on around the world Roys advent in the rural setting and his adventure in finding the worth of extremely ordinary village folks need to be seen in the context of his wife Aruna Roys pathbreaking work as the president of the National Federation of Indian Women and founder of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan. She quit the IAS and engaged in relentless struggles for mobilising workers and farmers to secure their entitlements for minimum wages and their right to hold the Government to account. The epic struggle for the Right to Information, combined with manifold movements for transparency and the Right to Food and education, originated against the backdrop of Roy's seminal work in Tilonia as a compassionate revolutionary. Aruna, in her memoir, The Personal is Political, acknowledged, The need for an RTI law was built brick by brick, incident by incident. If the IAS showed what should not be, Barefoot College SWRC gave me a platform to evolve what should be. Bunker Roys legacy is of enduring significance in the context of the calamitous consequences humanity is confronting as the spectre of man-made global warming and climate change is wreaking havoc on the planet. The statement issued by his family after his passing away said, Bunker Roy passed away peacefully at 6.15 am with Aruna (wife and activist Aruna Roy) and others around him. He went as he wanted to, in his own home in Tilonia, surrounded by some of the countless people who loved and cared for him deeply and admired him for his lifelong contribution to people, society, India, and the planet. He was truly a planetary citizen and his life and work would shine for ever leading the weary humanity to appreciate the meaning and significance of sustainable development in this Age of Anthropocene defined, among others, in terms of too much of human activity disproportionately using the energy and resources of the planet and imperilling it.

Kerala HC says mere fear of crime no ground to restrict late-night DJ parties
Digital Desk | Kochi, Nov 10 (IANS) The Kerala High Court on Tuesday ruled that the police cannot impose their own time limits on DJ parties at hotels holding valid liquor licences that permit them to operate beyond normal closing hours. Setting aside notices issued to Kochi's Radisson Blu hotel, Justice M. Purushothaman held that the police cannot curtail the extended operating hours granted to an FL-3 licenced hotel by the Excise Department, unless there are special grounds for doing so. The hotel is entitled to operate till 3 a.m. during the financial year 2026-27, except on the eve of a statutory dry day, under the extended permission granted by the Excise Department. The court said the mere possibility of criminal activities at such events was not enough to justify restrictions under the Kerala Police Act. The hotel had approached the court challenging police notices restricting its bar operations to midnight and DJ programmes to 11 p.m. It had paid Rs 5 lakh for permission to operate till 3 a.m. under the amended Foreign Liquor Rules. The police had defended the restrictions, citing a rise in late night entertainment venues and concerns over drug use, violence and offences against women. An affidavit by the Kochi Police Commissioner referred to criminal cases linked to DJ events. The police maintained that the extended liquor licence did not give hotels an unrestricted right to conduct late night entertainment programmes. They said the restrictions were aimed at controlling large gatherings and high decibel music, and not the sale of liquor. Rejecting the blanket restrictions, the court said the police must take action under the law if they have reason to believe that drugs or other criminal activities are taking place under the cover of DJ parties. However, the court clarified that the police can act against noise pollution. The Police Commissioner can issue preventive directions if DJ music violates prescribed night time noise limits or ambient noise standards. The ruling thus draws a distinction between the licenced operating hours of a hotel and the police powers to deal with crime and noise violations.
