Why tenants choose to move out in connection with renovation
One in three tenants who moved out of a municipal rental apartment in Gothenburg in connection with renovation said the renovation was a main reason for their decision, and many of them moved out even before construction began. A new study from Chalmers University of Technology shows that concerns about disruption, uncertainty and unclear information can be just as important as rent increases.

Punjab BJP seeks justice for Dalit youths family, questions police action
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 2 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Punjab on Friday demanded justice for the family of Sanamdeep Singh, a 23-year-old Dalit youth from Kanoi village in Sangrur district, who died by suicide on September 26. The BJP also alleged that the Punjab Police cremated the body without the consent or presence of family members. Addressing the media in Chandigarh along with members of the victims family, Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon alleged that the incident reflected a deteriorating law-and-order situation in the state and the failure of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government to protect the rights of Dalit families. State BJP media head Vineet Joshi and the partys Sangrur district president, Daman Bajwa, were also present. Members of the affected family, including Sanamdeep Singhs brother Ravi Singh, father Paramjeet Singh and cousin Vikramjeet Singh, shared their account of the events. Punjab is presently going through a very difficult situation. We are receiving regular complaints of atrocities and discrimination against Dalits under the AAP government, Dhillon said. He added that despite Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann belonging to Sangrur district, such incidents continued to be reported from the area. Dhillon further alleged that the law-and-order situation had deteriorated to such an extent that the cremation of the victim could not take place in his own village and in the presence of family members. He alleged that the police cremated the body in the absence of the family and without their consent. The BJP leader also alleged that the victims mother had been taken away by the police and claimed that police personnel were acting under pressure from AAP minister Aman Arora, whom he described as being close to the village sarpanch. Dhillon said the BJP was demanding justice for the affected family and alleged that the Punjab government had turned a blind eye to the matter. We have also urged senior police authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident, he said. He added that the party had sought information regarding the whereabouts of the victims mother and demanded that she be reunited with the family.

Srinagar , October 2 : National Conference President Farooq Abdullah on Friday accused the BJP of wanting to enslave people of Jammu and Kashmir, as the opposition party termed the proposal for statehood as unconstitutional. Speaking to reporters, Farooq Abdullah stated, The BJP has long wanted to enslave the people of Jammu and Kashmir. This is nothing new. Following the Autumn Session of the Legislative Assembly, he said that questioning and targeting the Chief Minister is part of the legislative process, asserting that the purpose of the Assembly session is to discuss issues, highlight the government's errors and seek its response. Abdullah said, The very purpose of the Assembly session is to hold discussions, bring the government's errors to light, and have the government respond to them. Targeting the Chief Minister is part of this process. Whoever holds this office has to face these things. On September 28, a fresh resolution for restoration of the statehood was passed in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. Restoration of statehood has been on the National Conference's agenda since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, and recently, the ruling party in the Union Territory has rallied for the demand, taking it even to the national capital. The BJP had protested against the resolution, which was passed amid uproar in the House. The party termed the resolution as a lack agenda and accused Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of suppressing the voice of the opposition. The BJP also staged protests across Jammu and Kashmir against the Omar Abdullah-led JKNC government. The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly's autumn session was held from September 21 to September 30, according to the official Assembly portal. The seven-sitting session saw legislators raise issues including employment, reservation, regularisation of workers, power tariffs and other public concerns.

ACC Chief Naqvi To Skip Asian Games Men's Cricket Gold Medal Match Between India And Pakistan
ACC Chief Naqvi: Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi will not attend the high-stakes Asian Games men's cricket gold medal match between India and Pakistan due to prior commitments. The ACC confirmed Naqvi's absence ahead of the marquee final, to be played at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, as he extended his best wishes to the teams competing for the medals. Before the gold medal game, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will face each other in the bronze medal game. ACC President, Mr Mohsin Naqvi, will miss Finals Day at #AsianGames2026 due to prior commitments, but sends his very best wishes to all four teams ahead of the Gold and Bronze Medal Matches, the ACC said in a statement posted on its social media accounts on Friday. India and Pakistan will met in a high-stakes Asian Games gold medal clash after emerging victorious in their semi-final fixtures on Thursday. Pakistan overcame Bangladesh by six wickets in a rain-curtailed 13-over contest, while a ruthless India thrashed Sri Lanka by 124 runs in the second semi-final. As per the recent precedents, the customary post-match handshakes are unlikely to take place, in continuation of the lingering diplomatic strain that brought both nations to the brink of war in 2025 post the Pahalgam terror attack. Since then, India have refused to exchange handshakes with Pakistani players in global cricketing events across genders and age-group games or receive tournament honours from Pakistani dignitaries. During India's successful Men's T20 Asia Cup campaign in 2025, captain Suryakumar Yadav and his team beat Pakistan three times, including in the final, without exchanging handshakes and refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi. Since then, India have refused to exchange handshakes with Pakistani players in global cricketing events across genders and age-group games or receive tournament honours from Pakistani dignitaries.

New York governor removes DA from Cornell rape case amid 'serious questions'
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Thursday she had lost faith in the district attorney overseeing the Cornell University rape case and appointed a special prosecutor to replace him. Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten has come under mounting pressure in recent days over his decision not to prosecute anyone when the initial allegations were made in 2024. Newly released information continues to raise serious questions about the investigation conducted by the Cornell Police Department and the decision by the Tompkins County District Attorney not to prosecute an alleged sexual assault on Cornell Universitys campus in October 2024, Hochul said. This has, in turn, undercut my faith, and the publics faith, in the District Attorneys ability to effectively investigate and prosecute the case at this time. Hochul appointed the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James as the special prosecutor to oversee the investigation. The case has drawn nationwide attention after a civil lawsuit was filed last month against the school and seven current and former fraternity members at the university. The woman, a former student identified as Jane Doe, said that she was the victim of a gang rape at the Chi Phi fraternity on Cornell's Ithaca, N.Y., campus on Oct. 19, 2024. She said she was already intoxicated when she arrived and was given ketamine before and during the alleged assault. She reported the incident to campus police three weeks later. Van Houten, who reopened a criminal investigation into the case based on new information in the lawsuit, said in a statement the woman's first account to police didn't include allegations that she was drugged against her will or gang raped. It has since been reported that Jane Doe told the school's investigators that she felt like bait on the night of the alleged assault. I felt like lions around me, she said during a 2025 hearing, according to ABC News . It just was a totally debilitating place to be in. The comments were included in a 99-page report prepared by the university as part of its Title IX investigation, per ABC. The report also included comments from a fraternity member who Cornell's investigation concluded did not engage in the assault but was found responsible for attempted sexual exploitation. I was sorry that maybe if it wasn't consensual and she was victimized, I was sorry for not stopping it, the fraternity members said, according to ABC. On Tuesday, CBS New York published excerpts from a Nov. 14, 2024, interview with police, in which Jane Doe asserted, I can say with 100% confidence I was raped. Cornell University Police vehicles are seen on campus on Sept. 29. Reuters / REUTERS Two of the men have released statements through their lawyers denying they participated in a sexual assault, according to the Associated Press. Van Houten said he was not provided with a transcript of her interview with campus police before his office decided not to pursue charges. I'm going to follow up on this because this is news to me, Van Houten told CBS. If she had said those words, we certainly would want to have explored that more. Like I said, that wasn't provided to me. In a lengthy statement released on Monday, Van Houten announced that he had reopened the investigation and would present the case to a grand jury. He also sought to explain why he initially decided not to prosecute them. According to Van Houten, Jane Doe did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang raped in a six-page sworn statement to campus police in November 2024. On the contrary, Jane Doe's statement described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual, Van Houten said. My office obviously did not and could not have based our November 2024 decision on the allegations in a civil lawsuit that would not be filed until nearly two years later. Van Houten did not immediately return a request for comment. Cornell University issued a statement on Monday saying it supported the district attorney's decision to reopen the case while pushing back against claims that the school did not thoroughly punish those involved in the alleged assault. Any suggestion that the university did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false, the university said. A continuation of the false narrative that there were minimal consequences in this case is irresponsible, will make survivors feel less safe and supported, and will perpetuate the underreporting of sexual assault. Hochul announced on Wednesday that Cornell had agreed to initiate an independent review of its initial response to the allegations. What does the lawsuit allege? The Chi Phi fraternity house at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., is seen on Sept. 28. AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth On Sept. 14, Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit against Cornell University and seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity, alleging that she was the victim of a gang rape at the fraternity house when she was incapable of consent and that the school failed to protect her from sexual predators on its campus. The defendants named in the lawsuit include Cornell, the seven fraternity members, the Chi Phi fraternity, the woman's own sorority, Delta Delta Delta, and an off-campus bar that allegedly served her alcohol. She is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages resulting from sustained psychological injuries, severe emotional distress, along with pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. According to her lawsuit, Jane Doe was a 20-year-old student at the school in October 2024 when she went to visit a friend at the fraternity house on Cornell's Ithaca, N.Y., campus while intoxicated. Shortly after arriving, Jane Doe alleged that she was pressured by two fraternity brothers into snorting what they said was ketamine before sexually assaulting her. One of the men then allegedly sent a message to the fraternity's Snapchat group suggesting that she was available for sex. A screengrab of part of the chat was included in the lawsuit. According to the complaint, multiple other members of the fraternity showed up, and she was raped for hours. The Snapchat was disgusting and vulgar and immoral, Van Houten told ABC News. But the question that we analyzed was, did Jane Doe consent to what happened? And the law in New York state is clear: That if you are voluntarily intoxicated, or under the influence of drugs such that your judgment is impaired, that does not legally under the penal law constitute your inability to consent. During the alleged assault, the fraternity members began pouring lines of Ketamine all over her body and snorting them, according to the complaint. At around 5:45 AM, this assault concluded and Plaintiff lost consciousness, the lawsuit stated. About three weeks later, on Nov. 8, 2024, Jane Doe reported the incident to the university's police department. According to ABC News , Jane Doe told police in a sworn statement on Nov. 15, 2024, that the incident felt like coercion, and that at one point she said no to the foursome one of the fraternity brothers had proposed. She also stated: I felt like I was unable to make any decision because of how intoxicated I was. According to the New York Times , she told Cornell's Title IX investigators that she did not consider herself a victim until she saw the incident being discussed in an online forum. Are Chi Phi brothers Crips or Bloods because I hear they have been doing hell Gang Banging? one user wrote. They do drugs and gang r*ped a sophomore, wrote another. That's the first time I had ever heard the narrative change that I wasn't a whore and that I was assaulted, Jane Doe told investigators, per the Times. One of the accused mens lawyers told NBC that his client made an immature comment on Snapchat, but did nothing else. What was Cornell's response? A student walks past a Cornell University sign in Ithaca, N.Y., on Sept. 28. AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth Cornell's months-long Title IX investigation included at least 12 hearings, according to the lawsuit, which said that the accused fraternity members were afforded the opportunity to mitigate their conduct by submitting essays to Cornell. Two of the seven accused fraternity members were ultimately expelled, while the others received lesser sanctions, according to the complaint. Jane Doe dropped out of school. According to CBS, two were suspended for at least two semesters. Cornell denies that students only had to write essays as a disciplinary measure. Last week, Cornell issued a statement saying that it had concluded its Title IX investigation but would not disclose individual sanctions, citing federal privacy laws. The Cornell Office of Civil Rights and the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards investigated and adjudicated the allegations consistent with university policies. The Xi chapter ofChi Phifraternity remains barred from our campus, the statement said: Federal privacy law prohibits Cornell from disclosing specific information regarding individualstudents and we therefore are unable tomakea public statement on any other disciplinary response.Violations of university policies could lead to sanctions up to and including suspensionor expulsion.We will respondin detailthrough the legal process. The university also pointed out that it launched a task force on campus sexual assault in the wake of the incident and issued a report in March with recommendations for an environment that fosters sexual health and safety. Several of the recommendations have already beenimplemented, while others are in development with oversight by a university implementation committee, Cornell said. According to USA Today , more than 1,200 incidents of sexual assault, domestic and dating violence and stalking were reported to Cornell University's Title IX from 2018 through 2024. Of those, 14 cases resulted in suspensions, while seven ended in expulsion or dismissal, per the paper. Cornell takes each report seriously and, to the greatest extent possible, honors a complainant's decision not to pursue resolution, Rebecca Valli, a Cornell spokesperson, said in a statement to USA Today. The university provides support and resources regardless of whether the respondent is subject to our conduct processes, and regardless of whether a complainant consents to an investigation. Reactions to the allegations Florence Pugh attends an event for Netflix's East of Eden in New York City on Sept. 27. Jason Mendez via Getty Images The harrowing allegations revealed in Jane Doe's lawsuit prompted reactions from several celebrities, including Florence Pugh, who posted a lengthy response on Instagram calling for men to speak out against sexual violence. This is really the moment where we need our men to be as horrified and as sickened as us, Pugh wrote. You need to be leading conversations about how we change the allowance and complicity of this behaviour as much as we are. How can you expect us to trust that it's 'not all men' when in moments like this, many of you stay quiet? In an expletive-laden Instagram post , actor Josh Gad tore into Cornell, seizing on allegations in the civil lawsuit that the fraternity members were required to write essays as part of the adjudication process. When we start setting a precedent that our girls and women can be brutally raped, and the resulting disciplinary action is to hand out (checks notes) ESSAYS (like it's Bart Simpson being a lil' rascal), about why it was wrong to brutally violate an innocent girl, we have lost our f***ing minds, Gad wrote. Toby Morton, a former South Park writer, launched a website, TheCornell7.org , dedicated to holding the school and the accused fraternity members accountable.

At a town hall in Ithaca, N.Y., earlier this week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, said that the culture of rape, sexual assault and pedophilia is protected in elite institutions across the United States, including Cornell. Jane Doe, that survivor, lost her education because you can't stay in school when something like that happens to you, Ocasio-Cortez told the crowd . She had to lose her education, and those men were protected by an institution and granted an Ivy League degree as a reward. Never again. She also had a message to Jane Doe and other survivors of sexual assault. I want you to know that you are not defined by the things that have happened to you, Ocasio-Cortez said. You are bigger than that. You are stronger than them. And they will never define you for your entire life. And that you can achieve anything that you want to achieve, from one survivor to another.

Indore water tragedy: Cong raises questions over missing documents, administrative delay
Digital Desk | Indore, Oct 2 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh Congress on Friday questioned the disappearance or non-availability of crucial engineering records and prolonged administrative delays in Indore's Bhagirathpura drinking water crisis, saying the issues flagged in the judicial inquiry demanded clear accountability from the government. Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar said the judicial inquiry report raised questions not merely about water contamination but also about how the city's water and sewerage infrastructure was planned, maintained and monitored. Important engineering records were not made available before the commission. The government must explain why such records were unavailable and who will be held accountable for this lapse, Singhar said at a press conference in Indore. The one-member commission headed by former Madhya Pradesh High Court judge Sushil Kumar Gupta examined the causes of contamination, illnesses and deaths, besides administrative and technical shortcomings. The report was submitted to the High Court in August. According to the findings, cited by the Congress, sewage entered drinking water pipelines in Bhagirathpura, rendering the supplied water contaminated and unfit for human consumption. The report also examined delays in sewerage and wastewater pipeline-related works, including tendering, file movement and execution. Singhar said the absence of basic technical documentation was particularly serious because records such as layout plans, blueprints, design drawings and pipeline alignment maps are critical for understanding and maintaining an urban water network. The Congress also focused on the movement of a file connected with the sewerage infrastructure work. Singhar said the file remained pending for 66 days for the Mayor's signature and sought an explanation for the delay. How did deaths occur due to contaminated drinking water in the country's cleanest city? he asked, saying the episode raised serious questions about the safety of drinking water and the functioning of the civic administration. The commission, however, did not fix personal responsibility on the Mayor merely because the file had been pending for his signature, according to the findings cited in media reports. The question raised by the Congress relates to administrative responsibility for the delay. The inquiry examined 36 deaths and, according to the report details cited by Singhar, 22 were considered related to contaminated water. The figure has been presented with attribution amid differing public accounts of the number of deaths linked to the episode. Singhar also demanded implementation of the commission's recommendations for compensation and assistance to affected families and patients. The recommendations include Rs 10 lakh for the families of those who died and financial and medical assistance for affected patients. The people of Bhagirathpura deserve transparency, accountability and justice, Singhar said, demanding that the government disclose when the recommendations would be implemented and compensation released. The Bhagirathpura tragedy, caused by contaminated water supply, came to light in December 2025 after residents began falling ill after drinking contaminated water. The judicial commission found bacteria, including E. coli and total coliform, in water samples and said contaminated water caused water-borne illnesses, including gastroenteritis, vomiting, diarrhoea and dehydration. The commission examined deaths associated with the outbreak. According to the report details cited in recent reports, 22 deaths were considered possibly related to the contaminated-water incident, while local residents and the Opposition have cited a higher overall death toll. The inquiry also concluded that timely replacement of damaged pipelines could have prevented the tragedy, making the issue of administrative delays central to the findings.
