The use of shredded tires as a base for light rail tracks offers a cost-effective solution for reducing noise. Many transit authorities have successfully implemented this method, leading to significant savings in construction costs. Additionally, using shredded tires prevents tires from ending up in landfills where they can pose environmental hazards.

Taking to Instagram, the Shararat actress reflected on how the occasion was no longer just about fasting or dressing up for a loved one, but also about recognizing the emotions, faith, and devotion behind the rituals. This year, Karwa Chauth felt different. My spiritual journey has been changing the way I look at festivals, helping me find meaning in the rituals and connect with the emotions and faith behind them, she wrote. Aditi added that the occasion made her reflect on the love and intention behind the traditions she had been following. Today, I realized that its not just about fasting or dressing up for someone you love. Its about understanding the love, devotion, and intention behind every little thing we do, she shared. Expressing gratitude for the personal transformation, Aditi thanked the Divine for giving her an opportunity to pause and reflect on the deeper meaning of celebrations. Thank you, Divine, for making me pause, reflect, and discover meaning in things I once simply celebrated. I know this journey has so much more to teach me, and I am grateful to be experiencing it, one day at a time, she added.

Sensex, Nifty extend gains for 2nd day as IT, pharma stocks lead rally
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 30 (IANS) Indian equity benchmarks closed in positive territory for the second straight session on Friday, driven by buying in IT and pharma counters, while broader markets remained under pressure. The Sensex advanced 308.49 points, or 0.42 per cent, to settle at 74,459.53, while the Nifty gained 116.35 points, or 0.51 per cent, to close at 23,053.10. Commenting on the Nifty technical outlook, experts said that after a few sessions of consolidation, the index witnessed a breakout, closing above the crucial 22,800 level and decisively reclaiming its 20-DMA. On the 3-hour chart, a symmetrical triangle pattern is developing, with a breakout above 23,250 required for confirmation. The short-term outlook remains positive as long as the index sustains above 22,800, analysts stated. Traders can consider booking partial profits near 23,250 while holding the remaining long positions with a trailing stop-loss of 22,950, market watchers stated. Market sentiment received a boost as the unwinding of crowded artificial intelligence-linked trades in global markets improved the outlook for domestic technology stocks. The strength in heavyweight IT companies helped Indian equities outperform most of their Asian counterparts during the session. Among the Nifty constituents, Trent, InterGlobe Aviation and Infosys emerged as the top gainers, leading the benchmark's advance. However, the broader market lagged behind the frontline indices. The Nifty MidCap 100 index declined 0.93 per cent, while the Nifty SmallCap 100 index fell 1.85 per cent. Sectoral performance remained mixed. The Nifty IT index was the best-performing sector of the day, supported by renewed buying interest in technology stocks. Pharma shares also witnessed strong demand, contributing to the benchmark gains. On the other hand, the Nifty Consumer Durables index ended as the biggest sectoral loser. Large-caps showed relative resilience, supported by IT, where selective buying emerged amid a rotation away from global AI plays, while pharma and healthcare gained on encouraging earnings and defensive demand, according to the market experts.
Star Cast: Ansh Duggal, Pragati Srivastava Director: Rahul Shanklya Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Synopsis: NAKHREWAALII is the story of a man who finds himself in a unique situation. Sumit Mishra (Ansh Duggal) lives in Hardoi and is heartbroken after his girlfriend, Sweety, dumps him and marries an engineer. Sumit shifts to Delhi for higher studies and also with the intention of becoming a playboy. He rents a room in the house of Batuk (Gopal Datt), who lives with his wife Rekha (Kanupriya Shankar Pandit) and their 22-year-old daughter Paridhi (Pragati Srivastava). Sumit and Paridhi hit it off quite well and soon fall in love. Sumit confesses to Batuk and Rekha that he wishes to marry Paridhi. Batuk makes it clear that he'll agree to the union only if Sumit manages to land a government job within a month. Otherwise, he'll get Paridhi married to someone else. Sumit tries his best but fails to find a job. Left with no other option, he decides to disguise himself as a woman and assumes the identity of Sumita. This helps him land the job of a junior public relations officer in the Department of Postal Services. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Nakhrewaalii Movie Story Review: NAKHREWAALII is adapted from Satya Vyas' book 'Dilli Darbar'. The story certainly has potential. However, Divy Nidhi Sharma's screenplay is weak. Several romantic and emotional sequences fail to strike a chord. Divy Nidhi Sharma's dialogues try their best to contribute to the humour and succeed, albeit only partly. Rahul Shanklya's direction is decent. To give credit where it's due, he keeps the duration in check (129 minutes) and ensures that the narrative moves at a steady pace. The humour also improves in the second half, resulting in a few genuinely funny moments. Some scenes that stand out are Sumit getting NSD actors to his office, Mihika (Aayushi Verma) being consoled by Paridhi in Sumit's room, etc. The scene where Paridhi and Sumita bond during the wedding trial is sweet. In the second half, interesting parallels are drawn between Sumit's equation with Mihika at the latter's house and his interactions with her father, Rai Jaichand (Kumud Mishra), in the same place. On the flipside, Sumit's character is written in such a manner that it's difficult to root for him. Even when he has a change of heart and goes to great lengths to marry Paridhi, one never gets the feeling that he has genuinely transformed. As a result, his emotional journey fails to make the desired impact. Moreover, the humour falls flat in most scenes in the first half. It finally begins to work post-interval, but by then, the film starts bearing an uncanny resemblance to DREAM GIRL [2019]. This also robs NAKHREWAALII of its novelty. The finale, meanwhile, is far too convenient and fails to deliver the intended emotional payoff. Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Performances: Ansh Duggal tries his best to deliver an authentic performance, both as Sumit and Sumita. However, the writing lets him down, and his character fails to leave a lasting impression. Pragati Srivastava makes a confident debut and gets her act right. The same applies to Aayushi Verma, who makes her presence felt in a supporting role. Gopal Datt is dependable as always, while Kumud Mishra lends able support. Akash Makhija (Jagat Singh aka Jhaadi) is fine as Sumit's sidekick. Kanupriya Shankar Pandit is decent, while Brijendra Kala (Invigilator) is fair in a cameo. Rana Pratap Singh (Sushil Tiwari) is aptly cast. Kajal Bhadana (Seema) and Devika Singh (Sudha), however, ham a lot. Nakhrewaalii movie music and other technical aspects: The songs are forgettable, but all the tracks the title track, 'Kona', 'Betuka' and 'Yeh Bawla Hai' are well woven into the narrative. Aman Pant's background score is quirky and complements the film's theme. Chirantan Das' cinematography is satisfactory, while Nikhil Kovale and Apurva Bhagat's production design is realistic. Ankita Jha's costumes are fine, although the outfits worn by Ansh Duggal as Sumit bear a striking resemblance to Ranveer Singh's wardrobe in BAND BAAJA BAARAAT [2010], especially in the scenes set at his home. Abhishek Anand's editing is functional. Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, NAKHREWAALII is let down by weak writing, unconvincing character development, humour that works only intermittently and a second half that bears an uncanny resemblance to DREAM GIRL. At the box office, the film stands virtually no chance of making a mark due to negligible awareness and its release during the dull pre-Diwali period.

4th T20I: NZ PM Christopher Luxon dons commentary hat at Eden Park, lauds Phillips' blitz
Digital Desk | Auckland, Oct 30 (IANS) New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon traded his political responsibilities for cricket commentary during Blackcaps' fourth T20I against India here at Eden Park PM Luxon took to social media to share the glimpses from the commentary box and lavished praise on Glenn Phillips for his batting masterclass and the team's overall batting effort. In the commentary box at Eden Park tonight for the @BLACKCAPS v India. Unreal innings from Glenn Phillips and a huge effort with the bat from the Blackcaps, the New Zealand PM posted on X. Phillips (107 from 49 balls), arguably the batter of the series so far, smashed his third T20I century, while Bracewell also hit 65 from 25 balls to help New Zealand pile up their highest-ever T20I total and also the highest by any team against India in the format. This surpassed New Zealand's previous highest score of 254/5, which they had smashed four years ago against Scotland, and is the most by any team against India, going past the previous 257/3 that England had hit in Southampton earlier this year. Phillips has been the batter of the series, having hit an 82 not out and 70 in the first two matches before his 107 in the fourth game. He was dismissed by Nitish in the final over when he miscued a lofted drive to Abhishek at deep extra covers, but the Kiwis have put up a record total against India as Nathan Smith finished with a four on the final ball. India have already sealed the five-match series comfortably after victories in the opening three games. In the third T20I, India openers Abhishek Sharma (113) and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (45) stitched together a powerplay display for the record books, piling on 118 runs in six overs as they chased down 199 runs off just 13.2 overs against New Zealand. This was the second-quickest chase of a 190-run target or more (with 40 deliveries remaining), second only to Estonias chase of 193 against Cyprus in 2024, which they completed with 42 deliveries to spare.

After winning the toss and electing to bowl, Pakistan initially struggled to contain Shashank Singh, whose 40 off just 11 deliveries kept India competitive despite the loss of wickets at regular intervals. India openers Rahul Tripathi and Nitish Rana started steadily, collecting 11 runs in the opening over. Muhammad Shahzad provided the breakthrough in the second over, dismissing Tripathi for nine off five balls. Shashank then launched an immediate counterattack, smashing 16 runs off three deliveries to push Indias total to 22 in the over. Pakistan captain Abbas kept Rana in check during the third over, conceding 11 runs while bowling four dot balls. India reached 44/1 at the halfway stage, with Shashank beginning to take control of the innings. The right-hander accelerated further in the fourth over, plundering 24 runs with three sixes and a boundary. Rana, however, struggled to match the scoring rate and was retired out in the fifth over after making 19 off 14 balls, bringing Rahul Tewatia to the crease. Pakistan seized control when Abdul Samad dismissed Tewatia for a golden duck before removing India captain Krunal Pandya for another duck on the very next delivery. Abdul conceded just 10 runs in the over, leaving India at 78/4 with one over remaining. Shashanks entertaining innings ended on the first ball of the final over when Ahmed Daniyal dismissed him. India added 12 runs from the remaining deliveries to finish at 88/5. Pakistans response was emphatic from the outset. Abbas and Nafay launched a relentless assault on the Indian bowlers, with the captain smashing five consecutive sixes against Krunal to help Pakistan collect 31 runs in the opening over. The onslaught continued against T. Natarajan in the second over, as Pakistan plundered another 28 runs to reach 73/1 after just two overs. India finally found a breakthrough when Shashank dismissed Abbas for 35, but the wicket did little to disrupt Pakistans momentum. Nafay continued to dominate the attack, striking two boundaries and five sixes during his unbeaten knock. Irfan Khan struck the winning runs as Pakistan reached 91/2 in 3.5 overs, completing a commanding victory over their neighbours. The result has also intensified the qualification battle in Group C. India will face the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday, with a victory potentially leaving all three teams level on points. In that scenario, the number of sixes hit will determine which team advances to the Cup category. Pakistan currently lead the Group C sixes tally with 23 across two matches, followed by the UAE with 12 in one match and India with seven in one match.
Bangladesh lifts hilsa fishing ban, but declining catches cloud supply hopes
Digital Desk | New Delhi/Dhaka, Oct 30 (IANS) Fishermen in Bangladesh resumed their efforts early Friday at landing what is largely the Bengalis most treasured fish after a 22-day ban imposed by the government to protect spawning hilsa during the breeding season that ended a minute before midnight, according to reports. Around 42,000 fishermen in Chandpur resumed fishing in the Meghna and Padma rivers as the ban on catching, selling, and transporting hilsa officially ended at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, reported Bangladeshs The Business Standard on Friday, adding their return was after weeks of hardship. Now the question is whether supply will be sufficient to satisfy the enormous Bengali appetite for hilsa. Hilsa migrates from the sea to freshwater rivers for spawning, and breeds mainly during the monsoon and winter seasons, thus limiting availability. Bangladesh ranks first in the world in hilsa production, being third in inland open-water capture fisheries, fourth in tilapia production and fifth in aquaculture overall, the report said further. Overall, Bangladesh is among the worlds top fish producers, where in 2023-24, it produced 5.02 million metric tonnes of fish, worth about $20.44 billion, according to a separate report. The fisheries sector accounts for 2.43-2.53 per cent of GDP and over 22 per cent of agricultural GDP, it said, adding that it provides nearly 60 per cent of the animal protein Bangladeshis consume each day and supports the livelihoods of 19 to 20 million people, directly and indirectly. Around mid-September this year, Bangladeshs Prothom Alo probed the reasons behind the high price of hilsa and found that its production, or catch, has declined for the past two years. The situation has raised concerns among researchers, the report stated. Hilsa researcher Md Anisur Rahman sought an investigation into the reasons behind the decline, sharing that what he has been witnessing for the past two years is alarming, blaming Both people and nature for being responsible. Researchers currently believe that the spread of nets with extremely fine mesh in the sea, excessive fishing, pollution and underwater shoals are contributing to the decline in hilsa production, concluded the report. Few fish command the cultural devotion hilsa enjoys among Bengalis on either side of the Ganga-Padma, especially the fish from Bangladesh. It is deeply intertwined with festivals, family gatherings, weddings and seasonal rituals. For many households, a meal featuring fresh hilsa is not simply food but an expression of identity and nostalgia. Bengalis continue to prize it despite its notoriously complex bone structure, to savour its flavour. Hilsa is said to possess a rich oil content that produces a distinctive aroma and buttery texture unlike most freshwater or marine fish. When steamed with mustard, cooked in a light broth or simply fried, the fish releases oils that create a layered taste combining sweetness, salinity and umami. Thus, the conservation measure has been based on the fact that hilsa needs a protected breeding window to reproduce successfully. Administrations in hilsa-producing regions have been imposing seasonal bans, sanctuary protection, and enforcement drives to ensure mature fish can spawn before being harvested. During this year's prohibition, authorities conducted extensive enforcement operations and seized large quantities of illegally caught hilsa and fishing nets, underscoring the scale of the challenge. Such measures reportedly affected the livelihoods of many fishermen who were already complaining that hilsa availability had been below expectations and that earnings were insufficient to sustain themselves and repay debts. The governments attempt to ease the burden through food-assistance programmes -- like hundreds of thousands of fishing families reportedly having received rice allocations this year during the closure period has been met with arguments that the support was insufficient. As in many spheres, the conflict between ecology and livelihood sits at the heart of the hilsa debate.
