New Delhi , August 27 : As Nepal continues to grapple with a devastating flash flood from the Bhotekoshi River near the Nepal-China border in Rasuwagadhi, the Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday said 21 Indian nationals have been rescued from Nepal, while around 200 Indians stranded on the Chinese side have sought assistance for evacuation. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, while briefing the media here, said the 21 rescued Indian nationals are from Tamil Nadu and had travelled for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. As of 1300 hours today, we have been able to rescue 21 Indian nationals. This group of 21 people are from Tamil Nadu, Jaiswal said. He added that the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu is in touch with the rescued group and has assured them of all possible assistance. Our ambassador has spoken to people in the group and has assured all possible help. They are coming to Kathmandu, hopefully, and then arrangements will be made for their travel back home as soon as possible, he said. The MEA has also received information about Indian nationals who undertook the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and are currently stranded on the Chinese side of the border. Our embassy in Beijing is making all efforts for their safe evacuation. There are approximately 200 Indian nationals there who have sought our assistance for evacuation, Jaiswal said. Of these, 95 Indians are in Darchan and are currently proceeding towards Baisha to cross over into Nepal. Four are in Geelong city, while 13 are in Zutulpuk and are travelling towards the town of Saga, according to the MEA spokesperson. The Ministry said it has established a 24x7 special control room in view of the prevailing flood situation in Nepal to coordinate assistance and facilitate communication with affected Indian nationals. The control room can be contacted at +91 11 2308 8718 and +91 11 2308 8719. WhatsApp calls and messages can be made to +91 9968291988, while the email address is situationroom@mea.gov.in. The Embassy of India in Kathmandu has also issued emergency contact numbers: +977 985 131 6807, +977 970 910 7500 and +977 981 032 6117. The MEA further said that 288 Indian nationals remain uncontactable in Nepal, with communication networks in the affected areas severely disrupted. Jaiswal said the group includes 73 Indians working at the Trishuli 1 power project, with the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu in touch with the project's head to obtain further information. Other groups include 37 and 49 Tamil Nadu nationals who travelled for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through Samrat and Fly Everest Travels; 32 West Bengal nationals who travelled through Samrat Travels and were in Timure in Rasuwa district; 61 Indians from different states who travelled through Richa Tours; and 33 nationals from Kerala. Communication lines in that area are totally disrupted and therefore it has been difficult to get in touch with people on the ground, Jaiswal said. Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), in its search, rescue and relief update issued up to 2 PM (local time) on Thursday, reported 258 bodies recovered following the Bhotekoshi flood. According to the update, the casualties include 27 in Dhading, 12 in Nuwakot, two in Rasuwa, 20 in Gorkha, 62 in Nawalparasi East, 12 in Tanahun, 108 in Chitwan and 15 in Nawalparasi West in Nepal. NDRRMA reported 910 people missing or out of contact, including 28 Nepal Police personnel, 44 Nepal Army personnel, 13 Armed Police Force personnel, 15 Customs Office personnel and four Immigration Office personnel. The update also listed 161 people missing in Rasuwa, based on information from the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC), and one person missing in Nuwakot. A total of 517 foreign citizens were reported missing or out of contact, while 127 Nepali citizens living abroad who were visiting Nepal were also listed. Authorities further reported that 73 injured people, including 43 in Rasuwa and three in Dhading, with the casualty breakdown continuing beyond the portion of the update available. The flash flood struck the Bhotekoshi area near Rasuwagadhi on the Nepal-China border on Wednesday, prompting large-scale search, rescue and relief operations as authorities work to locate those missing and assist stranded nationals. The Indian government said its missions in Kathmandu and Beijing are coordinating with local authorities and continuing efforts to trace, rescue and evacuate Indian citizens affected by the disaster.

J&K Congress rejects cabinet berth, says restoration of rights prerequisite
Srinagar, Aug 27 : The Jammu and Kashmir Congress on Thursday rejected the National Conference's offer to join the Omar Abdullah-led government, saying it would not accept a cabinet berth until the Centre restores the rights of the people of the Union Territory. J&K Congress president Tariq Hameed Karra said the party had maintained its position on the issue for the past year and would not compromise on its demand for restoration of the rights that were taken away from the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Congress is on principal stand since the last one year and Congress won't accept cabinet berth until the Centre government will restore the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir which were snatched from the people, Karra said. Although we are a part of government in J&K, but won't accept cabinet berth at all, he said. The Congress' decision comes a day after the ruling National Conference approached the party with an offer to join the council of ministers ahead of a proposed expansion and reshuffle of the Omar Abdullah-led government. Karra had on Wednesday confirmed that the NC had reached out to the Congress and offered the party a berth in the council of ministers. The development had come amid Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's plans to expand and reshuffle his council of ministers. The Congress had been supporting the government without taking a ministerial position, maintaining that restoration of the rights of Jammu and Kashmir was central to its political stand.(KNS).

Would A Child Plan Or Term Plus SIP Still Fund The Goal If A Parent Dies?
Most comparisons between a child insurance plan and a term policy paired with a SIP focus on which one grows your money faster. That's the wrong question to lead with. The actual point of either option is to make sure a specific goal, say 50,00,000 for a child's education in 15 years, still gets funded if the parent paying for it doesn't make it to the finish line. Almost nobody actually stress tests that scenario with real numbers before choosing. Here's what happens to each option if the parent dies partway through. Why Is This The Wrong Comparison Most Articles Make? Comparing returns assumes the parent survives the entire term, which is the outcome nobody actually needs protection for. The real test of either structure is what happens in the scenario where protection matters, the parent dying mid way through the goal. If a plan performs beautifully as long as nothing goes wrong, it hasn't actually been tested. What Happens To A Term Plus SIP Combo If The Parent Dies At Year Five? Say the goal is 50,00,000 in 15 years, and to get there through a SIP growing at an assumed 10% a year, the required contribution is about 12,450 a month. By year five, five years of that SIP has built up roughly 9,60,750. If the parent dies at this point, the term insurance pays out a lump sum to the family, separate from the SIP itself. What happens next depends entirely on what the family actually does with that money and their own finances going forward. If they keep the 12,450 monthly contribution going for the remaining ten years, using income from the term payout or other sources, the existing 9,60,750 plus ten more years of contributions reaches almost exactly the original 50,00,000 target. The math works out. But if the family doesn't continue those monthly contributions, whether because the term payout gets absorbed into immediate expenses, debt, or simply because nobody kept managing it, that 9,60,750 just sits and grows on its own. By year 15, it reaches only about 24,91,945, roughly half the original target, a shortfall of about 25,08,055 on the goal it was meant to fund. What Happens To A Child Insurance Plan In The Exact Same Scenario? Most child insurance plans include a built-in feature, often called a premium waiver or payor benefit, that activates automatically if the parent paying the premiums dies. All future premiums are waived, the policy continues exactly as originally structured, and the full maturity benefit, the original 50,00,000 target in this example, still gets paid out on schedule. No family member has to remember to do anything, redirect any money, or make any investment decisions during what's already the hardest period of their life. That's the actual mechanical difference. It isn't about which option earns more. It's that one option requires a grieving family to execute a plan correctly for ten more years, and the other doesn't require them to do anything at all. Does That Mean The Child Plan Always Wins? No, and this is the part that gets left out when this comparison turns into a sales pitch. In the much more likely scenario where the parent lives through the entire term, a pure term plus SIP combination will very often build a larger corpus for the same monthly outlay, since a straightforward money saving plan invested in growth assets tends to outperform the blended, more conservative return most child insurance plans are structured to deliver. You're comparing two different things: a guarantee that costs you some growth potential, against growth potential that comes with no guarantee at all if things go wrong. What Should You Actually Weigh Before Choosing? Question Favors term plus SIP Favors a child insurance plan Will the surviving parent or family actually manage investments consistently for years? Yes, confident in this Not certain, or no one else is equipped to Is the term cover sized generously enough to also fund continuing the SIP? Yes Doesn't matter as much here Do you want the goal amount fixed and certain no matter what happens? No, comfortable with some variability Yes, certainty matters more than upside Is maximizing the final corpus the top priority if nothing goes wrong? Yes Growth is secondary to guaranteed floor Who Should Lean Toward A Child Insurance Plan For This Goal? If you're not confident a spouse or family member would keep a SIP running through years of grief, life changes, or simply losing track, or if there's genuinely no one positioned to manage that money on the child's behalf, the automatic premium waiver removes that entire risk from the equation. Who Should Not Rely On Term Plus SIP Alone For This Goal? Don't lean purely on term plus SIP if your term cover isn't sized to comfortably absorb both ongoing family expenses and continuing this specific goal's contributions. Underinsured term cover is the most common reason this combination fails in practice, not poor investment choices. If the payout barely covers a couple of years of expenses, there's nothing left to keep the SIP going, and the goal quietly falls behind. What Should You Actually Do? Size the term cover first, generously enough that continuing every existing financial commitment, including this goal's monthly contribution, is realistic without touching the core payout. If you're confident that discipline will hold, term plus SIP usually builds more toward the same goal. If you'd rather remove that dependency entirely, a child insurance plan with a premium waiver benefit guarantees the number regardless of what happens next. Many families split the difference, covering part of the target through a plan with a built in guarantee and the rest through growth investments, so the worst case still funds something close to the full goal, and the best case still leaves room to do better.

Washington, August 27: US President Donald Trump has stated that he believes Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive, though he suffered severe injuries during ongoing military operations, as mystery continues to shroud the appearance of the Iranian leader. Speaking in an interview with US commentator Glenn Beck, Trump addressed widespread speculation regarding Khamenei's fate following months of public absence. I don't think he's dead, Trump told Beck. He was very seriously wounded. The left side of his body, the arm, the leg, the whole thing. He was very seriously wounded, but I don't think he's dead. Trump added that if the Iranian leader is indeed incapacitated or deceased, Tehran is maintaining an elaborate deception. If he is, they're putting on a pretty good show because they talk about, you know, going back to talk to him all the time... to get a final blessing on things. But, you know, you make a deal with them, it's like--not to be--it's not the most honorable group. I will tell you that. Shifting focus to ongoing military and strategic operations, Trump lauded the performance of the US armed forces and the economic posture of the country. Highlighting recent maritime engagements, he noted, We took out 22 boats last night. We have people coming in, the blockade. Our Navy has been unbelievable. Our military has been unbelievable. Attributing success to broader national capabilities, Trump emphasised that American financial strength has scaled up dramatically over the past year and a half. Concluding his assessment, the President expressed absolute confidence in the trajectory of current campaigns, stating, Those things are going toward a very big victory. We had the victory in Venezuela, and we're going to have a big victory here. On Tuesday, Al Arabiya reported that Iran's Fars News released archival footage of the Iranian Supreme Leader. According to Al Arabiya, the footage was reportedly filmed before Khamenei became the Supreme Leader. He was seen surrounded by a group of people who offered prayers before beginning their discussions. Notably, this is the second time in August that a video of Khamenei has been released by Iranian media. Earlier in August, days after Israeli media claimed that Iran's Supreme Leader was in critical condition and had been rushed to a hospital, Iran's semi-official Mehr News agency released an undated video showing Mojtaba Khamenei appearing to be in good health. The video of Mojtaba Khamenei was published for the first time by Mehr, a semi-official news agency sponsored by the government of Iran and run by the Iranian government's Islamic Development Organisation, as an effort to negate mounting speculation over Khamenei's health and whereabouts. Previously, Israeli media reports had claimed that Khamenei was in an extremely critical condition. Channel 14, citing sources inside Iran, and an earlier report by The Jerusalem Post, quoting IranWire and sources close to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's administration, reported that concerns over his health were circulating within Iran's leadership. Shortly thereafter, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is completely healthy, dismissing speculations regarding his physical condition, according to a report by the ISNA news agency. Someone who can sit and discuss for seven to eight hours cannot have any health problems, the President said, noting that he had held a very good meeting with Khamenei earlier in August. Mojtaba Khamenei assumed the position of Supreme Leader after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in joint US-Israeli military strikes on February 28. Since assuming the role, Mojtaba Khamenei has not made any public appearances, communicating exclusively through written statements.
Police Register FIR Against Five Shopkeepers for Obstructing Public Movement at Jahangir Chowk
Srinagar, Aug 27: Police Station Shaheed Gunj has registered a case against five shopkeepers for allegedly obstructing the movement of the general public and vehicular traffic at Jahangir Chowk. According to officials, Today During a routine patrolling in the Jahangir Chowk area, it was observed that some shopkeepers had placed matting material on the road outside their respective shops.
