Israelis abroad expected to fly home to vote in high-stakes election
For two decades since leaving Israel for Canada, Yael Natra said, she didn't consider returning to vote in her home country's elections. She felt it wasn't right to cast a ballot in a place she no longer lived. But now, after seeing the far right gain power, Natra, 61, said she believed she had no choice. Ahead of Israel's election on Tuesday - the first since the 2023 Hamas-led attacks and ensuing wars in the region - Natra spent thousands of dollars to travel nearly 6,000 miles from Toronto to Tel Aviv to be in the country and vote, she said. Israeli law generally requires citizens to vote in person in the country, with narrow exceptions for diplomats and certain official emissaries abroad. Natra said she plans to cast her ballot for parties not aligned with the current government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israel that I grew up in is disappearing, she said in an interview from Toronto, citing an eroding democracy and deeply divided society. If something won

The Odisha government on Sunday stepped up preparations, mobilising personnel and equipment in vulnerable areas, as a severe cyclonic storm is likely to hit the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh coast on October 28, officials said.

Lawyers protest against demolition of chambers in Lucknow
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 25 (IANS) Several advocates in Lucknow on Sunday staged a sit-in on a street to protest the demolition of more than 200 lawyers chambers by the city's Municipal Corporation following a High Court order. Earlier on Sunday, police and administration officials arrived at the site to conduct the demolition, drawing strong objections from the lawyers, who began a sit-in on the road against the proposed action and demanded an alternative arrangement to continue their legal practise. Speaking to IANS, advocate Balram Jakhar said, They are acting arbitrarily. First, provide us with an alternative arrangement, and then demolish the chambers. At least 2,000 advocates are suffering. Diwali is such a major festival, yet we are being left in darkness. How can this government function like this? It is behaving like goons...our homes (chambers) are being snatched in front of our eyes. How can we tolerate this? Expressing frustration over not being provided alternative arrangements, he said, They (administration) are only after demolishing the chambers and are not making efforts in providing us an alternative...either break us or send us to jail, then demolish our chambers, otherwise we will strongly oppose it. Asserting that the lawyers won't allow the demolition, Jakhar said: We will do whatever it takes to stop this. Further, he alleged that administration officials and the police are trying to remove the protesting lawyers from the site, saying: They are trying to suppress us. If they demolish our chambers, we will have to practise on the roads, so we have already taken it to the streets, he added. While acknowledging that the action is being taken on the orders of the High Court, the advocate said: We respect the court orders, but there should have been a way out. There is complete arbitrariness, and no one is willing to hear us out. We are lawyers, not goons or mafias, who can be subjected to such torture. We are an important section of society who ensure justice for people, he stated. Earlier, a similar controversy had erupted in Uttar Pradesh over the demolition of an illegal mosque located within the Saharanpur Collectorate complex. The demolition had taken place after the Muslim sides appeal was rejected by the court.

Oil companies step up petrol pump toilet checks to improve customer service
Clean toilets at petrol pumps may seem like a small amenity, but oil marketing companies are seeking to make them a visible measure of customer service, with senior executives personally leading inspections of washrooms across the country and QR codes inviting travellers to rate their experience.

India's heatwave tag flags global adaptation finance gap ahead of COP31
As India officially recognised heatwaves as natural disasters nearly three months ahead of the UN climate change conference (COP31) in Turkiye, officials and experts have pointed out that the move exposes a stark reality of a global climate finance system that pushes vulnerable nations to pay for immediate climate survival entirely on their own. This task would have been much simpler if we had a good amount of international assistance that allowed us to access funds for various heat adaptation measures, Krishna S Vatsa, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) member and Head of the Department, told PTI Videos in an interview. Stressing that the resources available for adaptation are inadequate and unpredictable, Vatsa emphasised the need to improve access to the right kinds of technologies, including those required for efficient cooling.

India strongly hit back at Pakistan's attempts at the UN to paint a propagandist picture of New Delhi, saying Islamabad's Form 47 government can dare not override instructions from the country's real rulers, the Pakistani military. Form 47 is an official election document in Pakistan that records the provisional, consolidated results of voting in a constituency.
