Two persons tested positive on Tuesday and 4-5 patients are hospitalised. There hasn’t been any Covid-related death amid the recent surge, he said.Speaking to the news agency, Bharadwaj said, “In Delhi, we have started RT-PCR testing and around 250 to 400 RT-PCR tests are being conducted daily.

Urging the people not to panic, he said, “I have written to the health secretary asking him to share the genome sequencing reports of the positive cases. We don’t know the variant yet but even if it is the new variant, there is no need to panic as the patients are manifesting mild symptoms.”Earlier on Tuesday, the minister had said the positivity rate in Delhi stood at 1 percent and asked the people to follow precautions during the festive season."The new variants are not dangerous but people should not become lax and (they must) follow precautions. People should not panic and think that the virus is spreading and people are dying. But people should be cautious during this time of the festival season," news agency PTI quoted Bharadwaj as saying.Six persons tested positive for the new sub-variant JN.1 taking the total number to 69.

Rakhi Sawant’s ex-husband Adil Khan Durrani denied all the allegations made by the reality TV star and accused her of physical violence and cheating.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 21 Aug 2023 03:40 PM (IST)
Rakhi Sawant’s ex-husband Adil Khan Durrani denied all the allegations made by the reality TV star ( Image Source : Instagram/@iamadilkhandurrani )New Delhi: Rakhi Sawant’s ex-husband Adil Khan Durrani denied all the allegations made by the reality TV star and accused her of physical violence, cheating, and levelling wrong charges against him. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Adil opened up about what transpired between Rakhi and her and presented his side of the story. He also denied Rakhi’s miscarriage claims and said that the actor couldn’t get pregnant as she had undergone surgery to remove her uterus due to ‘age-related issues.’ In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Adil said that Rakhi gave false news to the media about the miscarriage, and he was present with her during her surgery to remove the uterus. “6-7 din hua tha, natak chal raha tha, Adil aur mera bacha gir gaya, humara miscarriage hogaya (For around 6 to 7 days this drama was going on.) But how can she be pregnant? When she was admitted, I was sitting at the hospital with her when she had to get her uterus removed because of age-related issues. She can’t get pregnant.” In the interview, Adil also spoke about the rape charges against him by an Iranian woman. He said that the Iranian woman was her friend and Rakhi knew him. He also alleged that Rakhi paid her money to file a false rape complaint. “Mera vakil bohot acha argument karta hai aur arguent ke baad mujhe judicial custody de di. Judicial custody jaate hi I can apply for bail. Jab police custody main hote hai toh bail ke liye apply nahi kar sakte. Judicial custody mili toh mujhe ek step win mili thi. Toh Rakhi ji ne kya kiya, she took a flight aur seedha mysoore gayi. Jab bohot acha business chal raha hai toh dushman toh rahenge. Rakhi ne mere saare dushmanon ko ikhatta kiya aur uss Irani ladki ko. Main bohot baar milwa chuka hoon Rakhi ko ki meri achi dost hai. She told this girl ki ek rape case karke do and she paid her Rs 3 lakhs. She told her ki main Bollywood mein tumhe supermodel banaugi. Ye sab jhase phasaya. Uss ladki ko commissioner of police ke pass leke gayi in Mysore aur mujhe pe Article 376 jo rape ka ilzaam lagaya.” he told Bollywood Bubble. After her mother’s death, Rakhi spoke about her troubled relationship with Adil and accused Adil of cheating, fraud, and domestic violence. Rakhi had also accused Adil of her mother's death and said she would have been alive today had she been given medical treatment on time. Adil also spoke about it and said that he was very close to Rakhi’s mother, and she loved him a lot, and he used to meet her weekly. He also claimed he used to give Rs 30000 every month to her mother.

The report recommends that heat hazards in India must be defined based on local conditions, and that heat action plans should be strengthened by using available scientific data.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 28 Mar 2023 10:02 AM (IST)
According to the report, thresholds to declare heat waves do not adequately consider local conditions such as built-up area ratio, type of land surface, and density of vegetation, and do not incorporate indicators like humidity and hot nights. ( Image Source : Getty )Heat action plans, which are guidance documents designed to prepare for, respond to, and recover and learn from heat waves, must perform the important task of defining the localised conditions under which heat becomes a hazard. These action plans must define a maximum threshold temperature at which there are significant increases in mortality rates in a given biogeography, says the report on the first critical assessment of heat action plans in India. The Centre for Policy Research, an independent institution dedicated to conducting research that helps address issues impacting life in India, assessed 37 heat action plans across 18 states published between 2016 and 2022, to understand how well-prepared the country is to deal with heat waves. Factors which define how extreme heat affects a particular regionThe report says that daily maximum temperature is not the only factor that has significant implications for the experience of heat waves, heat-related stress, morbidity, and mortality, but concurrent hot days and hot nights, relative humidity and indoor temperature also play an important role in defining how a particular region and the people living there will be impacted by extreme heat. Heat hazards must be defined based on local conditionsThe report recommends that heat hazards in India must be defined based on local conditions, and that heat action plans should be strengthened by using available scientific data. This will help understand the changing nature of the hazard, based on heat and humidity interactions, the compounding of heat with other hazards such as drought and forest fires, and impacts across sectors beyond human health.ALSO READ | Most Of India's Heat Action Plans Fail To Identify Vulnerable Groups, Are Underfunded, Says Report On Heat Wave AdaptabilityThresholds to declare heat waves do not adequately consider local conditionsAccording to the report, thresholds to declare heat waves do not adequately consider local conditions such as built-up area ratio, type of land surface, and density of vegetation, and do not incorporate indicators like humidity and hot nights. Of the 37 heat action plans assessed as part of the report, 24 plans indicate the need to use localised temperature and mortality thresholds. However, only ten heat action plans listed thresholds different from the national threshold set by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). But it is unclear which variables were used in determining these thresholds. Some heat action plans recognise factors such as urban heat island effect, UV indexAccording to the report, some heat action plans also acknowledge parameters such as heat index value, which refers to what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with air temperature, urban heat island effect, and UV index, which is a measure of the level of ultraviolet radiation. As many as 12 heat action plans consider daily variations in temperature, the report says. However, most heat action plans focus on seasonal variability, depicted through pre-heat, heat, and post-heat periods. Heat action plans of Gujarat and Odisha recognise all local parametersThe report says that the state heat action plans of Gujarat and Odisha, and the city heat action plans of Rajkot and Bhubaneswar recognise the importance of all parameters in preparing a response plan.How heat action plans can be strengthenedLong-term heat action plan actions can be strengthened by using localised mediums to strengthen long-term heat projections. This means that the heat action plans must focus on localised factors to project how a particular area will be impacted by heat waves. Heat action plans focus on secondary sourcesThe report states that all the reviewed heat action plans rely on secondary sources to understand the nature of climate change. The plans have cited anthropogenic climate change as the primary reason behind increasing temperatures and rising intensity of heat waves. Several plans rely on past temperature trendsA drawback of several heat action plans is that they report past temperature trends based on observed data to inform their planning. The exceptions are the heat action plans for Himachal Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh, which use 'Providing Regional Climate for Impact Studies (PRECIS)' model-based projections of temperature and rainfall change in their plans.Some plans recognise that heat waves occur in conjunction with other hazardsThe report says that heat action plans can help governments prepare for unexpected heatwave consequences by systematically identifying cascading secondary impacts. As many as 21 heat action plans recognise that heat waves either occur in conjunction with or result in other hazards such as drought, forest fires, high levels of water stress and high winds. As many as 18 heat action plans note the cascading impacts of these hazards on sectors such as water supply, education, power supply, public transport, and animal husbandry, among others. The report says that thresholds to declare heat waves are not adequately tailored for local conditions in cities or habitations. Also, the thresholds do not adequately incorporate indicators like humidity and hot nights, among others.Heat action plans must use climate projectionsThe report suggests that thresholds to declare heat waves must be adequately tailored for local conditions in specific Indian cities, and incorporate indicators such as humidity and hot nights. The report warns that India is projected to see increased frequency and intensity of heat waves, along with hotter days and nights, and seasonal shifts with heat coming earlier and staying longer. Therefore, heat action plans must use the high-resolution climate projections available for India, and not just focus on past temperature trends, the report suggests.How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Cheryl Orange stayed at a motel in Brownsville, Texas, and grew concerned after she did not hear from the group that left for Mexico.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 09 Mar 2023 10:51 AM (IST)
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador giving a press conference on the kidnapping of four US citizens, two who have been killed, in the border city of Matamoros, State of Tamaulipas, at the National Palace in Mexico City, on March 7, 2023. ( Image Source : AFP )New Delhi: The effort to rescue four Americans taken captive in Mexico in a kidnapping that left two dead came after a woman travelling with the group contacted police when they did not return to the U.S. side as expected.Cheryl Orange, who decided to stay behind with the luggage, was expecting three out of four people to return within 15 minutes, after dropping off their companion, Latavia McGee, for cosmetic surgery in the Mexican border city of Matamoros, Orange told the Associated Press. Orange stayed at a motel in Brownsville, Texas, and grew concerned after she did not hear from the group that left for Mexico, when she called their phone was switched off. Orange told police she didn’t cross the border because she didn’t have her identification.On Thursday, five friends drove to the southern tip of Texas in a rented minivan from South Carolina, according to a police report based on Orange’s account, reported AP. Four of them – Latavia McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Eric James Williams – left Friday morning around 8 am to go to Mexico.Orange told AP that the friends went on the trip to accompany McGee for cosmetic surgery.“She simply went for a cosmetic surgery, and that’s it. That’s all, and this happened to them,” Orange was quoted as saying by AP. Two US citizens missing since their abduction last week in the northern Mexican border city of Matamoros have been found dead and two others are alive, the state’s governor said Tuesday. One of the surviving US citizens was wounded and the other was not.Mexican security forces on Tuesday morning, found the bodies of two of the four travellers in a wood shack southeast of the border city of Matamoros meanwhile, McGee and another friend whisked back to a US hospital. The attack in Matamoros also left a Mexican woman dead due to a stray bullet.Eric Williams, one of the two surviving Americans suffered a gunshot wound to his leg that was not life-threatening, while Latavia McGee, was not injured. Americans Zindell Brown and Shaeed Woodard died in the attack. A 24-year-old man guarding them at the shack in the rural Ejido Tecolote area east of Matamoros on the way to part of the Gulf area called “Bagdad Beach,” was arrested at the scene.The four American friends were kidnapped on Friday just after they drove into northeastern Mexico. Cheryl Orange who had stayed behind contacted the police after they did not return as expected. Mexican authorities said on Friday, the group was fired on and they crashed their van soon after they crossed into Matamoros by drug cartel factions. The Americans were taken away in a pickup truck, and Mexican authorities frantically searched as the cartel moved them around — even taking them to a medical clinic — “to create confusion and avoid efforts to rescue them,” the region’s governor, Américo Villarreal said Tuesday."We're very sorry to have this happen in our country and we send our condolences to the families of the victims, their friends, to the people of the United States," President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told an earlier news conference, as per Reuters.Mexican officials pledged to work with the US to find the perpetrators, but the incident threw a harsh spotlight on gang violence in Mexico and sparked angry reactions from some US lawmakers critical of Mexican efforts to fight crime.

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT63 SE is the first super hybrid from AMG and one of the fastest cars that you can buy. Know the first look review in terms of styling and performance numbers.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Somnath Chatterjee | Updated at : 08 Apr 2023 11:33 AM (IST)
Styling-wise, the AMG GT four-door is a big car with a coupe-like design while the low-slung look makes it a jet fighter on the road. ( Image Source : Somnath Chatterjee )Electrification has changed our mass-market cars but also has an equally big impact on performance cars. Electricity adds instant performance and torque while the petrol engine continues to be the heart and soul of performance cars. Hence, how about both? Enter the AMG GT63 SE Performance, the first super hybrid from AMG and its fastest or even one of the fastest cars that you can buy. We had a first look and it sure is a stunner - both in terms of looks and performance numbers!The AMG GT63 SE Performance uses a high-performance battery developed in-house and an electric motor which adds more power to the already powerful 4.0 litre V8.Hence, the 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine and electric motor generate a system output of 843 hp and a maximum torque of more than 1,400 Nm. That is more than some supercars right now and beats much more expensive two-door cars.The performance claims indicate that with a 0-100 km/h time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 316km/h. 200 km/h takes place in under 10 seconds!The other interesting bit is that above the exhausts, there is a charging flap and the electric motor with 201hp is positioned at the rear axle with an electrically shifted two-speed gearbox. It even has an EV-only range of 12km while you can charge it via a 3.7kw AC charger or a household socket.It uses Formula One tech and is a lesson in how to combine electricity and petrol to generate huge amounts of performance. Being a plug-in hybrid, the car starts silently in electric mode while there is a four-stage selectable regeneration modes along with "Electric", "Comfort", "Sport", "Sport+", "RACE", "Slippery" and "Individual" driving modes. The gearbox is an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT-9G transmission and it gets air suspension too along with being all-wheel drive of course.Styling-wise, the AMG GT four-door is a big car with a coupe-like design while the low-slung look makes it a jet fighter on the road. The AMG styling bits add to the presence including an AMG-specific radiator grille, an electrically extendable and retractable spoiler, twin exhausts and E Performance badging.Inside, the cabin is a mix of Mercedes luxury and AMG sportiness. There is an AMG performance steering wheel and an MBUX system with hybrid-specific displays. With four doors, you get proper space at the back for two passengers too.To be launched in a few days, the AMG GT63 SE Performance would be one of the fastest cars that you can buy in India but something which can also scare your family and friends!ALSO READ | Toyota Halts Bookings Of Innova Hycross Hybrid Top-End VariantCar loan Information:Calculate Car Loan EMITesla EV Factory In Gujarat Could Change India Market, Musk Expected To Announce It In Jan SummitXiaomi Debuts Its First Car, The All-Electric SU7 Sedan: All You Need To KnowMaruti Jimny To Hyundi Exter: Top SUV Launches Of 2023Tata Curvv EV Expected Range DetailsBest of 2023: Top Facelifted Car LaunchesJD(U) President Lalan Singh Steps Down, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar Likely To Take Over PostStock Market Breaks Rally, Sensex Drops Over 200 Points, Nifty Trading Below 21,800Israeli Soldiers Mistook Cries For 'Help' As 'Deception Attempt' During Gaza Hostage Shooting, Probe Says'Rahul Gandhi Should Become Prime Minister': Karnataka CM Even As Mamata, Kejriwal Pitch For KhargeCanada: Shots Fired At House Of Hindu Temple Chief's Son In Surrey, Probe Launched - Report/body>

May God bless the fortune for me to bless your Mangalyam (marital necklace, mangalsutra) as it goes around in the coconut tray in the auspicious marital ritual!

" ---மன்சூர் அலிகான்In a media interaction, Mansoor Khan, who had a cameo in the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial Leo' starring Vijay, made derogatory remarks about not having any “bedroom scene with Trisha” during the film's shoot schedule in Kashmir. "When I heard that I was acting with Trisha, I thought there would be a bedroom scene in the film. I thought that I could carry her to the bedroom just like I did with other actresses in my earlier movies. I have done rape scenes in a number of movies and it's not new for me. But these guys didn't even show Trisha to me on the sets during the Kashmir schedule," Khan had said.A case was registered against him by Nungambakkam police under sections 354A and 509 of IPC.

"A recent video has come to my notice where Mr. Mansoor Ali Khan has spoken about me in a vile and disgusting manner. I strongly condemn this and find it sexist, disrespectful, misogynistic, repulsive, and in bad taste. "He can keep wishing but I am grateful never to have shared screen space with someone as pathetic as him and I will make sure it never happens for the rest of my film career as well. People like him bring a bad name to mankind," she wrote on X. Mansoor Ali Khan is perhaps best known for his role in ‘Captain Prabhakaran’ which led him to stardom. In addition, he has also done movies in Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam though he primarily acts in Tamil films.Trisha who has gathered massive acclaim for her roles in films such as ‘96’, the ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ series, and ‘The Road’ among others will star in flicks such as ‘Vidda Muryarch’, and the Malayalam film ‘Ram: Part 1’.Rajinikanth's Wife Latha Rajinikanth Granted Conditional Bail In Forgery CaseAndhra Pradesh Police Get Complaint From Ram Gopal Varma About 'Reward For His Head'Shruti Haasan On Prabhas, Her Salaar Co-Star: 'Quite Chill & Friendly Off Screen'‘Neru’ Review: Rape Survivor Has No Reason To Feel Shame.

Discover the rich history of Buddhism in Odisha. With over 200 Buddhist heritage sites, Odisha boasts several notable locations, including Lalitagiri, Ratnagiri, Udayagiri, and the Shanti Stupa.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP Live Focus | Updated at : 10 Mar 2023 07:00 AM (IST)
Dhauli Shanti Stupa ( Image Source : www.odishatourism.gov.in )Buddhism began to gain a foothold in Odisha after Emperor Ashoka's invasion and the legendary Kalinga War – one of the bloodiest battles recorded in the annals of Indian history, which ultimately led the Emperor to embrace Buddhism, a religion known for its commitment to peace. The state of Odisha saw the construction of numerous monasteries and vital Buddhist settlements, often situated atop hills, which has become a unique characteristic of these sites. Today, these settlements and monasteries are well-known as significant Buddhist heritage sites.Amidst the tranquil and peaceful surroundings along the banks of river Daya lie the remnants of Odisha's rich history with Buddhism, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. The reciprocal influence between Buddhism and the cultural heritage of Odisha is a prime example of a symbiotic relationship, with the latter contributing to the spread of the religion to Asian countries.Buddhism has played a significant role in the cultural and historical development of Odisha. Tourists and Buddhists from around the world flock to the state to visit its many ancient forts and Buddha statues. With over 200 Buddhist heritage sites, Odisha boasts several notable locations, including the Chandragiri Buddhist Monastery, Ratnagiri Monastery, Udayagiri Buddhist Complex, Kuruma Buddhist Heritage Site, Lalitagiri Buddhist Complex, Dhauli Shanti Stupa, and the Padmasambhava Mahavihara Monastery.Get amazed by the treasure trove of the unexplored and untouched Buddhist Sites of Odisha. Here's our pick of a few TOP Buddhist Sites and destinations in Odisha. Scroll the list below and unearth Odisha's best rightly called India's Best Kept Secret Gems!The Diamond Triangle, one of the most popular Buddhist circuits in Odisha, is located approximately 100 km from Bhubaneshwar and comprises three closely situated heritage sites in Jajpur: Lalitagiri, Ratnagiri, and Udayagiri.Lalitagiri, the oldest of the three sites, boasts of the ruins of a monastery built in the 1st century AD, which served as a centre for both the Mahayana and Hinayana sects of Buddhism. The main stupa or Mahastupa, several Votive stupas, and prayer halls comprise the ruins. The museum here showcases a variety of artefacts, including statues of Lord Buddha, Tara, and Jambhala.Udayagiri, situated near Lalitagiri, contains the ruins of two monasteries, Mahastupas, excellent sculptures, and prayer halls. Visitors can view the great lion statue at the base of Udayagiri hill and may also spot a range of native bird species.Considered one of the best-excavated Buddhist sites in Odisha, Ratnagiri was once a rival of Nalanda. The unique monastery here features a Mahastupa, votive stupas, commemorative stupas, and several Buddha statues. Visitors can also admire the intricately carved entrance gate of the monastery.These three Buddhist heritage sites, Lalitagiri situated in the Cuttack district, and Ratnagiri and Udayagiri situated in the Jajpur district, are all located within 100 km from the state capital, Bhubaneshwar.The Shanti Stupa, also known as the Peace Pagoda, is located in Dhauligiri, which is about 7 km from Bhubaneswar on the way to Puri. The name "shanti" itself means peace, and this stupa was built on the site where the Kalinga War came to an end and King Ashoka adopted Buddhism, embracing peace and tranquillity. The famous rock edict of Emperor Ashoka can be found here and is a popular destination for Buddhist devotees. The Shanti Stupa was built by Japan Buddha Sangha and Nippon Kalinga Buddha Sangha to commemorate the mission of peace of King Ashoka after the Kalinga War which completed 50 years last yearAccording to popular legend, the Kalinga War was so fierce that it transformed Emperor Ashoka from a warmonger to a peace lover. The foundation of several stupas, chaityas, and pillars was laid by King Ashoka, and his edicts promoting peace, joy, and contentment can also be found here. The earliest Buddhist sculpture in Odisha, a rock-cut elephant, can also be seen.The stupa is in the shape of a dome, and stone panels display the Buddha's footprints and the Bodhi tree. There is also an image of Ashoka laying down his sword in front of Lord Buddha, symbolizing his complete abandonment of war. The Saddharma Vihar Monastery is located nearby and is popular among Buddhist devotees. The Dhabaleshwar temple, which was renovated in 1972, is also located a short distance away and is frequented by both Hindu and Buddhist devotees. A visit to Dhauligiri is a must to explore the various Buddhist attractions that add to its sacred significance in Odisha.Jirang is known to be the little Tibet of Odisha in India, which are also well-known as the abodes of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, but it has provided a home for Tibetan settlers since China invaded Tibet in 1959. Chandragiri, designated as Camp No. 4, was where the first batch of Tibetans arrived on 1st May 1963. Since then, they have not only made Chandragiri and the adjoining camps at Labarasingh, Mahendragadh, and Tankilipadar (all located within a radius of 4-5 km around Chandragiri) their home but have also added colour to the picturesque mountains of the Eastern Ghats in this part of Odisha through their enterprise and demeanour. The Tibetans have named this place "Phuntsokling" which means land of plenty and happiness.The Padmasambhava Monastery, also known as the Jirang Monastery, is the major attraction in this region. It is the largest monastery in Eastern India and was inaugurated by His Holiness The Dalai Lama in 2010. The monastery serves as a residence cum college for Buddhist monks who come from all over India to study here. Mahendragad's Avalokiteswara statue in a sitting position and the Monastery at Labarasingh are other popular attractions in the area. Don't miss the Peace Pagoda at the entrance of Camp No. 4. The Tibetan community is known for being helpful to outsiders and tourists, so please be polite when interacting with them.In conclusion, Odisha is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in exploring the rich Buddhist heritage of India.

Meanwhile, Ali, Yadav, Vaithilingam, and Natrajan opposed it. The investigation revolves around BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's allegations that Moitra received cash and favours for parliamentary questions, purportedly on behalf of businessman Hiranandani.Moitra, along with opposition MPs, previously exited a committee meeting, accusing Chairperson Sonkar of posing inappropriate questions.

Delhi Flood: In 1978, the water level of Yamuna had risen to an all-time record high of 207.49 metres, resulting in devastating floods in the national capital.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 12 Jul 2023 01:53 PM (IST)
Delhi Flood: Experts told ABP Live that there is a high likelihood of floods occurring in the regions surrounding the Yamuna river in the national capital if its water level breaches the 1978 flood level. ( Image Source : PTI )Delhi Flood: The Yamuna river flowing in Delhi has exceeded the 1978 record level of 207.49 metres. The current water level is 207.55 metres, according to ABP News sources. Thousands of people living in the river's floodplain are being relocated to safer areas in the east, north, northeast, southeast, central and Shahdara districts of Delhi, Saurabh Bharadwaj, Minister of Health, Urban Development and Water, Delhi government, said Tuesday, news agency PTI reported. Bharadwaj said that a flood is highly unlikely in Delhi and that the discharge of a huge quantity of water from Haryana caused the water level of Yamuna to rise. In 1978, the water level of Yamuna had risen to an all-time record high of 207.49 metres, resulting in devastating floods in the national capital. On Tuesday, a day before the Yamuna breached the 1978 level, ABP Live spoke to Dr Anjal Prakash, Research Director, Bharti Institute of Public Policy, Indian School of Business and IPCC Author; and Mr Praveen Tiwari, Co-Founder, Netsol Water Solutions, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and asked them about the likelihood of floods in Delhi if the Yamuna water level breaches the 1978 flood level. Both experts said that there is a high likelihood of floods occurring in the regions surrounding the Yamuna river in Delhi, if its water level breaches the 1978 flood level. They explained that the floods can damage infrastructure and may lead to deaths. Moreover, the potential floods can disrupt transportation and restrict access to essential services.“If the water level breaches the 1978 flood level in the Yamuna river, there is a high likelihood of floods occurring in the surrounding areas. Floodwaters can submerge low-lying areas, including residential neighbourhoods, agricultural fields, and infrastructure like roads and bridges. This can disrupt transportation, compromise access to essential services, and pose a threat to human safety,” Tiwari said.Dr Prakash explained that floodwaters can contaminate water sources, and cause widespread displacement, which is why it is important for authorities to monitor the water levels and issue timely warnings.“Flooding can result in significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and agriculture, along with potential loss of lives. Floodwaters can disrupt transportation, contaminate water sources, and cause widespread displacement. It is crucial for authorities to monitor the water levels and issue timely warnings to ensure that appropriate evacuation measures and emergency responses are implemented to mitigate the impact of potential floods,” Dr Prakash said.The amount of rain that caused the Yamuna river to reach record-high water levels in 1978 may not have the same impact on the river in 2023 because over the years, measures have been taken to divert and manage the river water.Dr Prakash and Tiwari explained that efforts have been made to implement water management strategies to mitigate the impact of heavy rainfall on the Yamuna river, and one such measure is the construction of reservoirs and dams upstream to regulate the flow of water. Canal systems have been built to divert water from the river for irrigation. “Reservoirs and dams are structures which help in storing excess water during periods of heavy rain and releasing it gradually to prevent sudden surges in river levels downstream. The stored water can be utilised for various purposes such as irrigation, drinking water supply, and hydroelectric power generation. Additionally, canal systems have been established to divert water from the river for irrigation purposes. This practice reduces the reliance on the river for agricultural needs and helps in balancing the water distribution,” Tiwari said.How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Sagar Sarhadi helmed 1982 drama, centered in Hyderabad, his directorial debut, exposes the reality of bride buying in India.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Priya Hazra | Updated at : 20 Oct 2023 12:25 PM (IST)
'Bazaar' was part of a new era in Hindi cinema that eschewed the extravagant and predictable approach of mainstream films. ( Image Source : YouTube )WHY 'BAZAAR' IS THIS WEEK'S PICK New Delhi: In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, a young girl, Ganga (Alia Bhatt), is sold into a brothel after being brought to Mumbai by her lover with the promise of marriage. In the same vein, though still in a different way, Najma (Smita Patil) is supposedly stopped from engaging in prostitution by her admirer with the promise of being married, which never actually materialises in ‘Bazaar’. Hindi cinema has tried to show the plight of sex workers in an array of ways, whether it be through the inclusion of aesthetic and lyrical portrayal in Bhansali films, with the crudeness of Anurag Kahyap's 'Dev D', or a more intimate narrative like Sudhir Mishra's directed 'Chameli'.However, Sagar Sarhadi's 1982 drama, centered in Hyderabad, and his directorial debut expose the reality of bride buying in India, a practice in which young girls are sold by desperate parents to opulent Indian overseas residents in the Gulf. The film is an intense romantic drama and, at times, an exploration of despair and hopelessness.The movie was part of a new era in Hindi cinema that eschewed the extravagant and predictable approach of mainstream films and sought to go beyond the hackneyed narrative and its melodramatic portrayal. ‘Bazaar’ starts off as the story of young Najma, the family's "golden hen," who succumbs to patriarchal norms and drags herself into sex work in a bid to uphold the honour of the Nawabi lineage.In one of the first scenes, Najma's mother tries to persuade her that getting a job will destroy their family's last vestiges of dignity, whereas prostitution, carried out discreetly in society's eyes, will keep them fed and retain their reputations. As absurd as it may sound, Hyderabadi parents allegedly auctioned their teenage, virgin daughters to the highest bidders, making this tale a reality. These hapless girls are then cursed to live their entire lives with much older 'husbands' in keeping with their whims.As the mistress of Akhtar (Bharat Kapoor), who has made vows of marriage but hasn't been able to follow through on them for different reasons, Najma (Smita Patil) has been staying in a modest Bombay flat for some time. She flees her home with the hope of marrying her beloved but ends up in another prison, where, ironically, she finds herself compelled to live the life she had intended to leave behind. Najma, an innocent target of a vicious tradition, unknowingly and reluctantly engages in the same practice so as to fulfill her lifelong desire to get a husband and start a family. She finds herself in a predicament where she must find Shakir Hussain (B.R. Chopra), a young bride. Hussain is an ageing NRI who secretly yearns to marry a woman like Najma in exchange for a hefty commission. She agrees to it despite her better judgement being clouded by greed, and Shakir Hussain locks in on a young teen named Shabnam (Supriya Pathak).Meanwhile, Shabnam, a cheerful teenager, has her life completely changed in a matter of seconds. Shabnam finds herself in a scenario where only she can lift her family out of poverty even though she dreams of marrying the love of her life, Sajju, played by Farooq Shaikh. Although Sarhadi packed his movie with intense scenes and stinging dialogue, a single moment that stands out is when Shabnam to give a measurement for her anklet prior to the wedding ceremonies. An accessory that is meant to beautify a woman's look instead symbolises her utter helplessness. She screams in agony as she pleads to be set free from the oppressive load of abiding by her family's demands and from being chained by the same anklet to lead a life she never desired. A tragic scene follows later when Sajju and Shabnam meet for the last time. Equally powerful is the scene at the Dargah where Shabnam seems to have come to retrieve the remains of her deceased desires.Supriya Pathak and Farooq Shaikh show the innocence of young teens who fall victim to society's detrimental practices, and they give a performance that is fitting for the storyline. The movie's standout actors, however, are without a doubt, Smita Patil and Naseeruddin Shah. Patil has a way of grabbing your gaze from the first frame when she enters the screen and breaks the fourth wall by peering right into the camera. She casts a probing glance as if striving to reach into the audience's conscience to question their own sense of morality. The movie has a terrific soundtrack to go along with its stellar cast of Smita Patil, Naseeruddin Shah, Farooque Shaikh, and Supriya Pathak. From Talat Aziz and Lata Mangeshkar's timeless song 'Phir Chhidi Raat' to Jagjit Kaur's sorrowful 'Dekh Lo Aaj Humko', But Dikhai Diye Yun, a notable song with moving lyrics and a ghazal sung by Khayyam and Mangeshkar, wins the song war with its melodic rhythms and vocals.'Bazaar' has a compelling overall premise as well as several noteworthy subplots that are all brought together through mindful narrative. It is hard to suppress the seething pity that grips those watching and makes them rue the misery of the innocent girls who are constantly abused in this inhumane trade.ALSO READ: Flashback Friday: Deepti Naval’s Saath Saath Depicts A Relatable Modern-Day RomanceShah Rukh Khan Says Dunki Hardest And The Most Demanding Film Among His 2023 ReleasesOn Salman Khan's Birthday, Karan Johar Hints At A Film With The SuperstarVicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur And Jaideep Ahlawat's Jaane Jaan: A Glimpse Into Bollywood's Transformative Performances In 2023Twinkle Khanna Starved Herself During Badshaah Shoot; Says She Felt Like A Gas Canister By Being On A Chickpea Exclusive Diet'National Crush' Triptii Dimri To Star Opposite Kartik Aaryan In Aashiqui 3 ?'Indo-Russian Ties Very Steady': Jaishankar-Lavrov Bilateral Talks Feature Political Cooperation, TradeMPhil Is Not A Recognised Degree, UGC Warns StudentsMamata Banerjee To Skip Ram Temple Event On Jan 22: ReportMallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi Meet Andhra Cong Leaders To Discuss LS & State Poll StrategyCovid Scare: Delhi Conducts 250-400 RT-PCR Tests Daily, No Death Amid Surge In JN.1 Cases, Says Minister/body>

Corrie Mattie painted a tribute to P-22, the recently deceased cougar, wearing a crown and the words "Long Live the King" with a stroke of her brush.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Dec 2022 08:42 PM (IST)
Artist Corrie Mattie paints a memorial of P-22, the cougar that recently passed away, along Melrose Ave. ( Image Source : Getty )A sweeping new street mural has been dedicated to the memory of one of Los Angeles' most renowned residents by an artist. P-22, the famed mountain lion that took up home in the city and was euthanized this weekend due to deteriorating health and injuries possibly caused by a car, was the subject.Corie Mattie has erected a tribute on the side of a building depicting the beloved large cat wearing a crown and the words "Long Live the King" with a stroke of her brush. She painted a different mural memorial to P-22 earlier this year, where residents placed flowers after the cougar died, news agency Associated Press (AP) reported. "He's still the king of the hill," Mattie said, "There will never be another P-22," the AP reported quoting KABC-TV. P-22 became the face of a campaign to build a wildlife crossing over a Los Angeles highway to provide big cats, coyotes, deer, and other wildlife with a safe route to the neighbouring Santa Monica Mountains, where they can wander freely.The cougar was frequently captured on security cameras wandering into residential neighbourhoods near his habitat in Griffith Park, a city sanctuary of hiking trails and picnic areas. P-22, who had been fitted with a tracking collar, was captured for examination in a home backyard on December 12, a month after killing a Chihuahua on a dogwalker's leash.P-22 was euthanized after doctors discovered he had a skull fracture and chronic conditions such as a skin infection and kidney and liver disorders, according to wildlife officials.He was a symbol, the face of a campaign, the subject of songs, and the source of inspiration for an entire community. But P-22, the most famous mountain lion in Los Angeles, if not the world, was also a cat, and the cat had grown elderly.P-22's death sparked an outpouring of grief and admiration for the wild influencer who rose to international fame. Mourners congregated in Griffith Park, the Hollywood Hills park he called home for ten years, and social media was swamped with condolences. The California governor stepped in, saying his "survival on an island of wilderness" had "captivated the world," as reported by The Guardian.The journey of P-22 to Griffith Park began many miles away in the Santa Monica mountains west of Los Angeles. P-22 was born in 2010 and his name was inspired by a study of mountain lions in the area. The letter P stands for puma, and the number refers to the specific animal being tracked by National Park Service scientists, as per the report. P-22 departed the Santa Monica Mountains in 2012 and embarked on a spectacular 50-mile trek that carried him across two major Los Angeles highways, evading traffic and human detection, according to the report. He ultimately found the wilderness of Griffith Park to establish his range, which at 8 square miles was arguably the smallest wandering territory of any known mountain lion (a male cat's territory is typically 150 square miles).According to the report, P-22 shot to prominence after being captured on camera in Griffith Park a decade ago. He was quickly fitted with a collar to follow his travels, and the city fell in love with him. P-22 would have been relocated or killed in any other region of the country, according to Pratt. He rose to prominence in Los Angeles. She had his visage tattooed on her arm and dubbed him "the Brad Pitt of mountain lions" because he was attractive, enigmatic, and unlucky in love (he never found a mate because he was cut off from his kind in the park).

Preconceived notions about how an "ideal man" should behave, and pressures imposed on them by society, causing men to refrain from expressing their mental health concerns.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 30 Jun 2023 10:18 PM (IST)
By increasing awareness about men's mental health problems, the gap in treatment of these disorders can be narrowed down, and more males will be encouraged to come forward and openly share their emotions, according to experts. ( Image Source : Getty )Mental health is a hugely overlooked subject, and men's mental health problems are rarely taken into account. The reasons are many, from preconceived notions about how an "ideal man" should behave, to pressures imposed on them by society, causing men to refrain from expressing their mental health concerns and seeking medical help to treat these problems. However, by increasing awareness about men's mental health problems, the gap in treatment of these disorders can be narrowed down, and more males will be encouraged to come forward and openly share their emotions.Since June is men's mental health awareness month, ABP Live spoke to Dr Meenakshi Jain, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad; Dr Sameer Malhotra, Director and Head, Department of Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket; and Dr Ashish Mittal, Medical Director, Athena Behavioral Health, Gurgaon, and asked them about the ways through which awareness about men’s mental health can be improved.ALSO READ | Are Mental Health Disorders More Prevalent In Women Than In Men? Experts Say It Is Not So SimpleAccording to Dr Jain, stakeholders, including the government and health organisations, must take multiple steps to improve men's mental health. She explained that raising awareness is the most important tool to reduce the treatment gap, especially for substance use disorders. "This can be done through community-based awareness programmes that utilise digital technologies such as social media, podcasts and mobile applications."ALSO READ | Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder — Mental Health Problems Men Are More Prone To Than WomenDr Mittal said that improving men's mental health and raising awareness about men's mental health problems needs a multifaceted approach. He explained that it is crucial to break the societal stigma surrounding mental health and create an environment where men feel comfortable seeking help. "Education and public campaigns aimed at promoting mental health literacy can play a significant role in fostering understanding and acceptance. In addition to general awareness, tailored initiatives targeting men's unique challenges can be beneficial. This can involve outreach programmes, support groups, and workshops that address topics such as masculinity, stress management, relationships, and emotional well-being. Encouraging open conversations and providing safe spaces for men to express their feelings can also be helpful."ALSO READ | Men's Mental Morbidity Is Over 6% Higher Than That In Women, Three Out Of Four Suicides Are In Males, Experts SayDr Malhotra said that a supportive environment, a healthy job environment, encouragement of healthy lifestyles, healthy sleep schedules, performing recreational activities, practising yoga and meditation, consuming a healthy and balanced diet, exercising, spending time with close people, avoiding drugs, and managing time appropriately can help improve men's mental health. "Timely recognition of distress and receiving support from family and friends will significantly improve men's mental health."According to Dr Jain, telepsychiatry can help deliver mental health services remotely, and may improve mental health problems and substance use disorders. She said that digital technologies and community-based awareness programmes can be used to reduce stigma associated with mental health disorders by providing education and information about mental health and substance abuse issues. "Peer support groups which provide counselling can also improve men's mental health. The government should make policies to ensure discrimination against those suffering from mental health illnesses are reduced, and workplaces must also take active steps."Dr Jain concluded that organisations must adopt mental illness screening programmes for early detection and management of mental illnesses.Check out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

As of September 13, 2023, the Antarctic sea ice extent is over a million square kilometres below the previous record low maximum set in 1968, according to the National Snow & Ice Data Center. This is surprising because it is currently winter in Antarctica, which is located in the Southern Hemisphere. This is a time when the sea ice cover grows.

Foxconn is likely to finalise the details of the partnership to manufacture both advanced and legacy node chips.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 14 Jul 2023 02:51 PM (IST)
Key Apple iPhone manufacture Foxconn is in talks with TSMC and Japan's TMH Group for a JV to set up semiconductor fab units in India. ( Image Source : Getty )As per the report, Foxconn is likely to finalise the details of the partnership to manufacture both advanced and legacy node chips soon. The company has been in discussions with TSMC and TMH Group for a considerable period. Taiwan's TSMC is one of the largest chip foundries globally, while TMH specialises in offering semiconductor-related solutions and the operation and maintenance of manufacturing equipment. TSMC's chips are widely utilised by numerous prominent semiconductor companies, including AMD, Apple, ARM, Broadcom, Marvell, MediaTek, and Nvidia.Taiwan's Foxconn pulled out of a $20 billion semiconductor-making venture with Vedanta Ltd earlier this week after being unable to secure a technology partner. The government had mandated a technology partner for the JV to avail financial incentives under India's ambitions India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) as both Foxconn and Vedanta were new to the chip manufacturing industry.During the joint venture period, Foxconn was also engaged in discussions with STMicro from Europe and GlobalFoundries from the United States for a potential technological partnership. According to the ET report, there is still a possibility for Foxconn to finalise a deal with either or both of these companies.Also Read: Gujarat Exploring Semiconductor Plant With Foxconn, Days After Vedanta JV Falls ApartHon Hai Technology Group, also known as Foxconn, had announced that it intends to apply for incentives under the government's semiconductor production plan.

As the US-China tech war intensifies, India is proactively encouraging tech giants to invest in the country. India simply needs to provide a congenial ecosystem for the tech giants to thrive.Related StoriesBy: Ranjit Kumar | Updated at : 12 Mar 2023 07:07 AM (IST)
It's advantage India as US-China tech war is intensifying. ( Image Source : Getty )The tech noose around China is slowly being tightened, and Chinese companies have begun to feel the heat of this action by the US and its allies in Europe and Asia. Chinese leaders have started to complain about this and warn the US and European companies of severe consequences. From 5G equipment to semiconductor chips, Chinese companies are in the US and European net on the allegations that they are stealing local data and transferring them to Chinese security agencies. It is strange that the US and its European partners took notice of the suspected Chinese spying through their high-tech equipment only when the Chinese began displaying their aggressive and offending behaviour in the international arena, especially in the maritime domain.The tech companies based in China, both domestic and international, suddenly find themselves in dire straits after the latest round of US and European sanctions. In fact, on the strength of these originally West-developed high-tech components and equipment technology, China could become a manufacturing giant and destroy the domestic industries of many developed and developing countries like the US and India. So rattled by the current round of tech bans the Chinese leadership is that President Xi Jinping in his last speech at the Chinese Communist Party meeting blamed the US for everything. Said Xi: “Western countries led by the US implemented all round containment, encirclement and suppression against us.” In order to prevent China from manufacturing advanced chips, the US has announced export restrictions. Presently, the advanced chips industry is dominated by Taiwanese firms. To encourage advanced chip manufacture in the US, the administration has legislated the US$53 billion Chips and Science Act. In addition to this move, the US hit hard on 31 more Chinese firms, research institutions and related groups by including them in the list of Bureau of Industry and Security, with the possibility of greater sanctions later. Among the affected is the Yangtze Memory Technologies Corporation (YMTC), China’s top memory chipmaker, which found mention in the Entity list, which restricts any business with American companies without clearance from the authorities.As a result of the strong action, US tech giant Dell said last month that the company would not use Chinese chips by 2024, while Hewlett Packard declared its decision to drop from the joint venture with Beijing-based semiconductor company Tsinghua Unigroup. Most notable is the decision by Apple to leave China. The iPhone manufacturer has decided to shift to India, where Taiwanese chipmaker Foxconn has also decided to invest over US$ 500 million. It is expected that these high-tech giants will inspire others to relocate their factories to India. It is now assessed that the technology ban on China will lead to the exit of many other US and European high-tech, IT and electronics companies from China. So, where will they shift their ventures? Is India ready to take advantage of this tech war between the US and China? ALSO READ | Australia To Create ‘Reliable’ Supply Chains Of Rare-Earth Minerals For India, Envoy O’Farrell SaysAs the tech war intensifies, India is getting proactive in encouraging the tech giants to look to India as an investment destination, which offers not only a huge market but also cheaper skilled manpower. For this, India is already engaged in a serious dialogue both at bilateral and multilateral levels. At the multilateral level, India is engaging with QUAD partners, through the QUAD Critical and Emerging Technology working group, which is focussing on countering Chinese influence in technology spheres — ranging from rare earth minerals to semiconductor chips and undersea cables. QUAD intends to shape the technology flows and regimes in the Indo-Pacific, which is of great relevance for India and other regional partner countries. During the March 8-10 visit to New Delhi, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said India and the US are sharing information about semiconductors manufacturing and its commercial opportunities between the two nations, and engage in a continuous dialogue around policies that would encourage private investment in the semiconductor ecosystem. The US and India are also looking for joint ventures or technology partnerships. Since both India and the US are implementing a semiconductor incentive programme, the two sides are also coordinating their investment programmes.Besides the US, India is also seriously engaged with the European Union with which a Trade and Technology Council was set up in April 2022. The TTC has further formed three working groups, one of which relates to strategic technologies, digital governance and digital technologies. The TTC is a high-level coordination platform to take this forward. It will allow India and EU to tackle strategic challenges at the nexus of trade, trusted technology and security and help implement political commitments in these areas. The QUAD has concurred on the need for trusted vendors, as well as global standards underpinned by democratic values. The quadrilateral group has also identified the areas for collaboration among the four partner countries, which include creation of a trusted and resilient supply chains for critical minerals, semiconductors, telecommunication equipment and undersea cables, and inclusive digital transformation encompassing future skills, cyber security capacity, APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients), and global governance of technologies that include data governance, cyber crimes and 5G standards. QUAD is also slated to announce measures for collaboration on semiconductor supply chains. These multilateral efforts will enable India to attract semiconductor chipmakers, rare earth miners, and telecommunication equipment producers etc to invest in India. As far as rare earth mining and production is concerned, Indian investors are looking for investment in Australia, which also presents an opportunity for India to be self-reliant in products made of rare earth minerals. Big Indian miners can also bring in foreign partners to invest in rare earth mining and production factories in India. Currently, China has a monopoly over production of rare earth minerals. India is also dependent on China for meeting its requirements of rare earth minerals for its electronic, auto, space and defence equipment sectors. During the Covid-19 pandemic, when the supply of semiconductor chips was hampered, Indian carmakers had to shut their workshops. As the US and its partner countries are facing same issues and problems of timely supply of semiconductor chips, rare earth materials, telecommunication equipment etc, India has entered into a cooperative arrangement with these advanced economies like the US, EU, Japan etc for becoming not only self-dependent in these high-tech components but also an important player in the supply chain system. India simply needs to provide a congenial ecosystem for the tech giants to thrive, to achieve its goal of becoming self-reliant in high-tech products.The author is a senior journalist and strategic affairs analyst.[Disclaimer: The opinions, beliefs, and views expressed by the various authors and forum participants on this website are personal.] India Not Part Of Any Multilateral Initiative On Read Sea, Says MEAFortifying Digital Defences: What Cybersecurity Challenges Will Be Like In 2047Indian Navy Unveils Chhatrapati Shivaji-Inspired Epaulettes For Officers — Details'Threats To India Can Be Better Mitigated': ISRO Plans To Launch 50 Satellites In 5 Years‘Looking Forward To Seeing Him In Russia’: Putin Invites PM Modi To Moscow/body>

The new IAF ensign has been crafted to better align with the values of the Indian Air Force including symbols like the Ashoka Lion and Himalayan Eagle as well as a verse from Bhagavad Gita.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 08 Oct 2023 01:26 AM (IST)
File Photo of Supreme Court Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari ( Image Source : PTI )The Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to mark a significant moment in its history on Sunday with Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari unveiling a new IAF ensign. This historic change in the insignia reflects a reaffirmation of its core values, the force stated. It further mentioned that the new IAF ensign has been crafted to better align with the values of the Indian Air Force by featuring symbols like the Ashoka Lion and Himalayan Eagle as well as a verse from Bhagavad Gita.The evolution of the IAF's ensign can be traced back in history. Originally, the Royal Indian Air Force (RIAF) ensign featured the Union Jack in the upper left canton and the RIAF roundel in Red, White, and Blue on the fly side. Post-Independence, the IAF's ensign was created by replacing the Union Jack with the Indian tricolour and the RAF roundels with the IAF tri-colour roundel in the lower right canton."08 Oct 2023 will go down as a momentous day in the annals of IAF history. On this historic day, the Chief of Air Staff will unveil the new IAF ensign. Going back in history, the RIAF Ensign comprised of the Union Jack in the upper left canton and the RIAF roundel (Red, White & Blue) on the fly side. Post-Independence, the Indian Air Force ensign was created by replacing the Union Jack with the Indian tri colour and the RAF roundels with the IAF tri colour roundel in the lower right canton. A new lAF ensign has now been created to better reflect the values of the Indian Air Force," the IAF statement read."This reaffirmation will now be reflected by the inclusion of the Air Force Crest in the top right corner of the Ensign, towards the fly side. The IAF Crest has the national symbol, the Ashoka lion on the top with the words “सत्यमेव जयते” in Devanagari below it. Below the Ashoka lion is a Himalayan eagle with its wings spread, denoting the fighting qualities of the IAF. A ring in light blue colour encircles the Himalayan eagle with the words “भारतीय वायु सेना”. The motto of the IAF "नभः स्पृशं दीप्तम्" is inscribed below Himalayan eagle in golden Devanagari," it informed.The statement further mentioned that the IAF motto has been taken from verse 24, Chapter 11 of the Bhagavad Gita and means "Radiant Thou Touchest Heaven" or in other words "Touching the sky with Glory".It's worth noting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi previously unveiled the new ensign of the Indian Navy at the commissioning ceremony of the aircraft carrier 'INS Vikrant' in September last year. During the ceremony, PM Modi highlighted that India had moved beyond its colonial past, shedding symbols of slavery, and embracing a new naval ensign inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.The new Naval insignia incorporated the royal seal of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, replacing the Saint George's cross that had featured on the Navy flag during the pre-independence era. 2024 Lok Sabha Polls: BJP To Give TMC A Tough Fight In Bengal?

Goa's Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Nilesh Cabral tendered his resignation on Sunday ( Image Source : ANI )Goa's Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Nilesh Cabral tendered his resignation from the cabinet led by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Sunday. The move paves the way for the inclusion of MLA Aleixo Sequeira, one of the eight legislators who switched allegiance from the opposition Congress to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state last year. In his resignation letter addressed to Chief Minister Sawant, Cabral expressed that he was stepping down to enable the party to fulfill its previously made commitments, news agency PTI reported.Chief Minister Sawant confirmed the resignation, mentioning that it has been forwarded to Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai for acceptance. He emphasised that the decision for Cabral to step down was taken by the party to accommodate another MLA in the cabinet.BJP MLA Aleixo Sequeira was sworn in as a minister in the cabinet in the presence of Governor P. S. Sreedharan Pillai and Goa CM Pramod Sawant."Earlier, I was an MLA, I was answerable to the people of my constituency. Now, being a minister, I am answerable to the whole of Goa... With your support, I hope I perform well," he said, as quoted by news agency ANI.Nilesh Cabral, a 51-year-old BJP legislator representing the Curchorem assembly constituency, held the portfolios of PWD, law and judiciary, and other departments in the Sawant-led cabinet.In his resignation letter, Cabral expressed his departure with a heavy heart from the esteemed position of the PWD minister, as well as the environment, legislative affairs, and law and judiciary departments. The letter stated, "As requested by you and senior members of the party, due to commitments you have previously made, I tender my resignation from your cabinet of ministers", as quoted by PTI.Speaking to ANI about his decision to quit, the BJP leader emphasised that his decision was taken "out of compulsion""BJP had made a commitment to some Congress MLAs who had merged into the BJP. When these people merged into the BJP there was a commitment made by the senior leaders. I was called by the senior leaders & they requested that to keep the commitment you will give a sacrifice. When senior and tall leaders of the BJP are making the statement I don't see why I should not listen to it. So based on their request I have resigned. I am a senior BJP leader, there is no doubt about my seniority. I am sure the party must have something in mind and in the interest of the party they asked me to resign," he said.Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, acknowledging Cabral's contribution, stated, "I appreciate Nilesh Cabral for taking this decision. He has contributed significantly to the party and the government.

Maualana Abul Kalam Azad | Courtesy: PIBNew Delhi: November 11 is observed as the National Education Day to mark the birth anniversary of the first education minister of Independent India, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. To commemorate the contributions of Azad towards education and nation-building, Pratibha Patil, the then President of India, announced November 11 as National Education Day at Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi in 2008. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad served as the Education Minister of India from August 15, 1947, till February 2, 1958.

Influenced by Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy, Azad, along with Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari, Hakim Ajmal Khan and others established Jamia Millia Islamia in Aligarh, which was later shifted to Delhi. The establishment of the first Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur is also credited to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. He also set up the apex educational bodies such as the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the University Grants Commission (UGC). Azad was also responsible for setting up the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), Sahitya Academy, Lalita Kala Academy, and Sangeet Natak Academy. On the occasion of National Education Day 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu, Congress senior leader Shashi Tharoor paid their tribute to the great leader.

Italy has withdrawn itself from China's Belt and Road Initiative after four years of signing up for the project.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 06 Dec 2023 10:35 PM (IST)
Italy formally withdraws from China's Belt and Road Initiative ( Image Source : Getty Images )Italy has formally withdrawn from China’s Belt and Road infrastructure initiative, reported AFP quoting a government source as saying on Wednesday. Italy, the only G7 nation to have signed up for the project, withdrew itself after four years and communicated its decision to China three days ago, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. A source placed in the Italian government, who confirmed the development to AFP without delving into details said it was done in such a way as to "keep channels of political dialogue open".The deal was supposed to renew automatically in March 2024 unless Rome opted out by the end of this year. Amid fears that withdrawal could provoke Beijing and trigger reaction against Italian companies, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said during the G20 summit in Delhi this year that leaving the project "would not compromise relations with China".ALSO READ: North Korea’s Kim Jong Un Breaks Down As He Urges Women To Have More BabiesBefore coming to power last year, Meloni had dubbed the decision by her predecessor Giuseppe Conte to sign up for the project in 2019 as a "serious mistake". In September this year, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said that the membership "has not produced the results we were hoping for".Launched in 2013 by Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Belt and Road Initiative aims to lay a new and upgraded network of railways and ports to connect China with Europe and other parts of Asia with an estimated cost of $ 1 trillion. But the United States has been a vehement critic of the project from the beginning terming it as an example of "debt-trap diplomacy". Washington has charged China's plans as having involved unsustainably large projects that countries are unable to finance, giving Beijing leverage for its own aims.ALSO READ: 'Where The Hell Are You': Netanyahu Asks Rights Orgs As Accounts Of Sexual Abuse By Hamas EmergeIndia has been repeatedly voicing its criticism against the project for its flagship China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) being laid through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) overriding New Delhi's sovereignty concerns. In October this year, New Delhi boycotted the summit of China's Belt and Road Initiative for the consecutive third time over sovereignty issues, as per a PTI report.India has also criticised the project saying that it should be based on universally recognised international norms, good governance, and the rule of law, and follow principles of openness, transparency and financial sustainability.How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Dementia is not a specific disease but is rather a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing day-to-day activities.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 31 Mar 2022 09:51 PM (IST)
Conceptual illustration of dementia | Getty ImagesNew Delhi: Actor Randhir Kapoor is suffering from dementia, his nephew Ranbir Kapoor said in a recent interview to NDTV. Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, did not remember the fact that his brother, Rishi Kapoor, is no more. Randhir recently watched 'Sharmaji Namkeen', the last movie of Rishi Kapoor, and asked Ranbir where Rishi is. Rishi Kapoor breathed his last on April 30, 2020. Dementia is not a specific disease but is rather a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing day-to-day activities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dementia can also be defined as loss of cognitive functioning, which includes thinking, remembering, and reasoning, to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. According to the United States National Institutes of Health, some people with dementia cannot control their emotions, and their personalities may change. The stages of dementia range from the mildest stage to the most severe stage.During the mildest stage, dementia is just beginning to affect a person's functioning. During the most severe stage, the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of living. Dementia is more common as people age. About one-third of all people aged 85 years or older may have some form of dementia. But dementia is not a normal part of ageing. About five million adults aged 65 years and above were estimated to have dementia in 2014. The figures are projected to be nearly 14 million by 2060. ALSO READ | What Is Alopecia Areata? Jada Pinkett Smith's Condition That Caused Her Hair LossWhen the neurons in the brain, which were once healthy, stop working, lose connections with other brain cells, and die, signs and symptoms of dementia start appearing. All persons lose some neurons as they age. However, the effect is more pronounced in people with dementia. The symptoms of dementia may include experiencing memory loss, poor judgement, and confusion; difficulty speaking, understanding, and expressing thoughts; wandering and getting lost in a familiar neighbourhood; trouble handling money responsibly and paying bills; repeating questions; using unusual words to refer to familiar objects; taking longer to complete normal daily tasks; losing interest in normal daily activities; hallucinating or experiencing delusions or paranoia, among others. Some people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can also develop dementia as they age. It could be difficult to recognise their symptoms.People with dementia have problems with memory, attention, communication, reasoning, judgement, problem solving, and visual perception beyond typical age-related changes in vision. They may forget the name of a close family member or friend. Depending on the rules of brain changes that may be taking place, the causes of Alzheimer's and related dementias may vary. Research has found that some changes in the brain are linked to certain forms of dementia. In a relatively small number of people, rare genetic mutations may cause dementia. The underlying mechanism is thought to be related to a build-up of proteins in the brain that interferes with how the brain functions or works, according to the University of California San Francisco, US. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as frontotemporal dementia, lead to abnormal protein build-ups in the brain. ALSO READ | Bruce Willis Has Aphasia, To Quit Acting. Know All About The Brain DisorderFor instance, proteins called beta-amyloid and tau are associated with Alzheimer's disease, while the protein alpha-synuclein is associated with Lewy body dementia, which includes dementia with Lewy body disease and Parkinson's disease with dementia. Dementia with Lewy body disease is a condition that causes changes in thinking, behaviour. Parkinson's disease dementia has similarities to dementia with Lewy bodies, but in the former, the movement problems start after the thinking and behaviour symptoms.Changes in the blood vessels in the brain may result in vascular dementia, which can cause problems with memory, speech or balance, and occurs as a result of damage to blood vessels, or reduction in blood flow to the brain. In a few cases, a reversible cause of a person's dementia can be identified and treated. The different types of dementia include Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, lewy body dementia, fronto-temporal dementia, and mixed dementia. Alzheimer's disease: This is the most common cause of dementia, and accounts for 60 to 80 per cent of cases. Caused by specific changes in the brain, the trademark symptom is trouble remembering recent events, such as a conversation that occurred minutes or hours ago. Difficulty remembering more distant memories occurs later in the disease.Vascular dementia: This form of dementia is caused by abnormal deposits of the protein alpha-synuclein, called Lewy bodies. About 10 per cent of dementia cases are linked to strokes or other issues with blood flow to the brain, according to the CDC. Some risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Vascular dementia progresses in a stepwise fashion, which means that symptoms will suddenly get worse as the individual gets more strokes or mini-strokes. Lewy body dementia: People with lewy body dementia may have movement or balance problems like stiffness or trembling. Many people also experienced changes in alertness including daytime sleepiness, confusion or staring spells, and may have trouble sleeping at night or experience visual hallucinations.Fronto-temporal dementia: This type of dementia most often leads to changes in personality and behaviour due to the part of the brain it affects. It is a rare type of dementia that tends to occur in people younger than 60 years of age, and is associated with abnormal amounts of the proteins Tau and TDP-43.A previously cautious person, for instance, may make offensive comments and neglect responsibilities.Mixed dementia: This is a combination of two or more types of dementia. Some people, especially those aged 80 years and above, may experience more than one type of dementia. For instance, a person may have both Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Dementia can be diagnosed through tests on attention, memory, problem solving, or other cognitive abilities to see if there is cause for concern. The underlying cause may be detected through physical exams such as blood tests, and brain scans like a Computed Tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).The cognitive and neurological tests are used to assess thinking and physical functioning, and include assessments of memory, problem solving, language skills, math skills, and sensory response.Brain scans can identify strokes, tumours, and other problems which can cause dementia, and identify changes in the brain's structure and functions.Blood tests provide details of the levels of beta-amyloid, a protein that accumulates abnormally in people with Alzheimer's. Doctors first assess whether the person has an underlying, potentially treatable condition that may relate to cognitive abilities. Psychiatric evaluation will help determine if depression or another mental health condition is contributing to a person's symptoms.A person's medical and family history can also be reviewed to obtain important clues about the risk for dementia. Genetic tests can help determine if a person is at risk for dementia due to their genes.The underlying cause determines the treatment of dementia. Neurodegenerative dementia like Alzheimer's disease have no cure, according to the CDC. There are certain medications that can help protect the brain or manage symptoms such as anxiety or behaviour changes. These medications may improve memory for a period of time, and may also be effective in treating mood disorders.Some commonly used medications include Donepezil, Rivastigmine, Galantamine, and Memantine. Leading a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly, and eating healthy may decrease the chances of developing chronic diseases and may reduce the number of people with dementia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the principal goals for dementia care include early diagnosis in order to promote early and optimal management; optimising physical health, cognition, activity and well-being; and understanding and managing behaviour changes, among others. The different risk factors for dementia include age, family history, ethnicity, poor heart health, and traumatic brain injury.For instance, Hispanics are 1.5 times more likely to have dementia than whites. Also, older African Americans are twice more likely to have dementia than whites.Check out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorZombie Deer Disease Found In Many US Animals, Scientists Worried Of Potential Spread To Humans.

All three players had an unfortunate outing, heading back to the pavilion without contributing to the scoreboard.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 25 Nov 2023 01:52 PM (IST)
Arshdeep Singh in action. ( Image Source : Getty )Team India pacer Arshdeep Singh shared a hilarious Instagram story featuring his teammates Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravi Bishnoi after the trio faced disappointing dismissals, securing ducks in the first T20I against Australia. Arshdeep used emojis representing a diamond and a duck for himself and Ruturaj Gaikwad, while Ravi Bishnoi got a gold and duck emoji.All three players had an unfortunate outing, heading back to the pavilion without contributing to the scoreboard. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Arshdeep Singh received diamond ducks, and Ravi Bishnoi faced a golden duck. Following the match, Arshdeep Singh shared a story featuring all three players that did rounds on the internet.Gaikwad's dismissal occurred due to a mix-up with his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, resulting in a run-out before facing a single delivery in the very first over of India's batting innings. Meanwhile, Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh were run out on the fourth and fifth balls of the final over, sacrificing their wickets to maintain a strike for Rinku Singh, who ultimately secured the win for India on the final ball.Australia posted a formidable total of 208/3 batting first, led by Josh Inglis' 47-ball century. While Arshdeep Singh remained wicketless and conceded 41 runs in his four overs, Ravi Bishnoi managed to dismiss Mathew Short but was taken for an onslaught by Josh Inglis, giving away 54 runs in his four overs.However, an explosive 112-run partnership between Suryakumar Yadav (80) and Ishan Kishan (58) propelled India's chase, followed by a crucial cameo from Rinku Singh (22), resulting in India achieving their highest-ever run-chase in T20Is and clinching victory by 2 wickets.Just three days after India's heartbreaking loss to Australia in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 final at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, India secured a victory over the same opponent. Australia's win marked their record-breaking 6th trophy triumph.

The SV version is the most exclusive and the most luxurious Range Rover that you can buy along with being the most expensive at Rs 4 crore plus.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Somnath Chatterjee | Updated at : 02 Jul 2023 03:59 PM (IST)
The Range Rover SV also comes with the long wheelbase version and it is huge with a lot of presence. ( Image Source : Clinton Pereira )The new Range Rover is now the choice for the elite amongst industrialists and Bollywood with almost every A-Lister having a new Range Rover parked in the driveway. Now there is an even more luxurious Range Rover with more personalisation, about 1.6 million configurations in-fact with the new Range Rover SV. The SV version is the most exclusive and the most luxurious Range Rover that you can buy along with being the most expensive at Rs 4cr plus too. However, the price at this segment does not matter but what does is the luxury element as we will show you. The Range Rover SV also comes with the long wheelbase version and it is huge with a lot of presence. The SV version adds in some small design changes though to make it stand out as the flagship version. The Range Rover badge is now black while the SV badge is finished in Ceramic at the back. There are bespoke exclusive colours but namely the SV Serenity design theme comes with a different grille finish while Bronze detailing is everywhere along with Silver Satin surround. The same is applied to the huge 23-inch forged wheels with Bronze satin inserts. The real deal is on the inside though as the SV is all about pure luxury plus getting more options while getting some standard, which are optional on the Autobiography. The front and rear have contrast dualtone designs while the luxury element is more enhanced. You have a wide choice of leathers or even going for a leather free cabin with a sustainable upholstery choice. Most owners would be in the rear seat and that is the place to be with its four-seat configuration having the Executive Class Comfort Plus seating. Alongside massive individual seats, there is a centre console which runs across the entire cabin. Everything is electric including an electrically powered Club Table which silently opens up and is made from Aluminium. Then via the touchscreen at the centre you can open the cupholders and even a fridge in the rear seat complete with its own SV branded glasses. Then there are the seats which are amongst the most comfortable with heating/massage/cooling and even some soft cushions to relax yourself in after a hard day's work. Everything is done via the touchscreen including the massive glass roof and yes, you can stretch out in style with a legrest. Oh, before we forget the SV also gets bigger 13.1-inch rear screens. Up-front you get ceramic finishes which again differentiates itself and feels more special. There are too many features here to list but the 32-speaker surround sound audio is like being in a concert hall. You also get soft close doors, leather headlining, active noise cancellation, Digital LED lamps and more. To drive, the Range Rover has a proper SUV driving position which gives you a superb view out and despite its size, it is quite easy to drive. The ride though is brilliant despite the massive 23-inch wheels and there is no noise at all. The suspension and the engine both are very quiet-as you expect. Even parking is not a hassle in a city like Mumbai thanks to the surround cameras. The engine though is a surprise with being a V8. It makes a serious amount of power at 530hp and that means it flies off silently while in Dynamic mode, there is a certain V8 burble which you can hear. Despite its size, you enjoy driving this SUV and the powertrain is part of that. The Range Rover SV is an indulgence and the V8 plus all of the luxuries are a part of that. This is for the buyer who wants the best and does not mind paying for it. Compared to other luxury SUVs, the Range Rover looks more imposing, isn't vulgar or it does not try too hard. It is quite possibly the ultimate luxury SUV that you can get right now.Car loan Information:Calculate Car Loan EMITesla EV Factory In Gujarat Could Change India Market, Musk Expected To Announce It In Jan SummitXiaomi Debuts Its First Car, The All-Electric SU7 Sedan: All You Need To KnowMaruti Jimny To Hyundi Exter: Top SUV Launches Of 2023Tata Curvv EV Expected Range DetailsBest of 2023: Top Facelifted Car LaunchesStock Market Breaks Rally, Sensex Drops Over 200 Points, Nifty Trading Below 21,800Israeli Soldiers Mistook Cries For 'Help' As 'Deception Attempt' During Gaza Hostage Shooting, Probe Says'Rahul Gandhi Should Become Prime Minister': Karnataka CM Even As Mamata, Kejriwal Pitch For KhargeCanada: Shots Fired At House Of Hindu Temple Chief's Son In Surrey, Probe Launched - ReportMizoram Govt Grants Consent To CBI For Probes, CM Says 'Govt Resolute In Eliminating Corruption'/body>

The Macan will be a fully electric car and will be followed by the launch of Porsche’s electric model of the 718.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 22 Aug 2023 04:47 PM (IST)
Porsche reported a 64 per cent growth in car delivery in India on a year-on-year basis, with 779 cars delivered in 2022. ( Image Source : Getty )Luxury Automaker Porsche AG expects electric vehicles to contribute to the majority of it’s sales in India in the next decade. The sports car maker said on Tuesday that it expects 80 per cent of it’s sales in the country to come from fully electrified vehicles (EV) by 2030.Porsche AG’s executive board member for sales and marketing, Detlev vo Platen, stated that the company is planning to introduce three new EVs in India by early next year. Further, Platen said, while in conversation with PTI, that the company is looking at strengthening its brand presence in India and focusing on GenZ customers along with startup entrepreneurs and women. The German carmaker has no plans to start assembling it’s vehicles in India in the short to medium term, it said. Platen added, “We announced that we want to be net carbon neutral by 2030. So, coming from a car manufacturer, which is more sporty-oriented, it was interesting to hear (that). By 2025, 50 per cent of our cars will be electrified, and by 2030, we expect close to 80 per cent of our cars to be fully battery electrified.”Elaborating on adopting electric mobility in India, Platen noted, “The adoption of electric mobility in India has been encouraging, giving the company confidence to do well in the segment.We were very happy to see that the (all electric) Taycan, which was also introduced to India, became very successful...and accounts for more than 10 per cent of our deliveries in India. We also see a good acceptance of the (EV) technology...and the Indian consumers are very keen on brand strengths of luxury brands.”Notably, Porsche reported a 64 per cent growth in car delivery in India on a year-on-year basis, with 779 cars delivered in 2022. Platen noted that the company’s upcoming launch in India is the Macan car, which is expected to be in the country in 2024. The Macan will be a fully electric car and will be followed by the launch of Porsche’s electric model of the 718. “We will have our first two-door sports car 718 fully electrified by the middle of this decade, and following the 718 is a Cayenne, which is very popular here in India, (it) will be completely a new model, which will also be electrified,” Platen added. The board executive noted that infrastructure developments like charging systems and such will decide how quickly India adapts to EVs. Platen, however, stated that Porsche remains ‘bullish about it’s future in India’. Also Read : Icra Estimates GDP Growth For Q1FY24 at 8.5%, Projects 6% Growth For FY24Talking about exploring the younger customer base in India, Platen said, “We are really looking at bringing Porsche in the context of the younger generation.

OpenAI's move comes days after ChatGPT was banned in Italy.OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed firm behind chatbot sensation ChatGPT, said on Tuesday that it would offer up to $20,000 to users reporting vulnerabilities in its artificial intelligence systems. OpenAI Bug Bounty program, which went live on Tuesday, will offer rewards to people based on the severity of the bugs they report, with rewards starting from $200 per vulnerability.Technology companies often use bug bounty programs to encourage programmers and ethical hackers to report bugs in their software systems.According to details on the bug bounty platform Bugcrowd, OpenAI has invited researchers to review certain functionality of ChatGPT and the framework of how OpenAI systems communicate and share data with third-party applications.ALSO READ: Ethics Of AI In India: Examining The Implications Of ChatGPTThe programme does not include incorrect or malicious content produced by OpenAI systems.The move comes days after ChatGPT was banned in Italy for a suspected breach of privacy rules, prompting regulators in other European countries to study generative AI services more closely.

To thrive in the Indian market, marketers must embrace and leverage the power of cultural resonance, align it with consumer needs, craft compelling content, and foster a strong brand identityRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 09 Aug 2023 07:13 PM (IST)
Marketers who connect with consumers through digital platforms and social media can tap into a vast and engaged audience. ( Image Source : Getty )By Gautam Reddy In a rapidly evolving world, the success of any marketing strategy hinges on the ability of marketers to connect the dots between culture, consumer, content, and brand. Nowhere is this connection more crucial than in India, a nation rich in diversity, tradition, and a dynamic consumer landscape. To thrive in the Indian market, marketers must embrace and leverage the power of cultural resonance, align it with consumer needs, craft compelling content, and foster a strong brand identity. This interconnected approach is pivotal in shaping a brand's influence and impact on the vast and varied Indian consumer base.India is a land of rich cultural diversity with 29 states, each having its unique traditions, languages, and customs. Understanding these cultural nuances is vital for marketers to create campaigns that resonate with specific regional audiences. A one-size-fits-all approach may not work in a country with such distinct cultural identities. A study by Google and Bain & Company revealed that 67 per cent of consumers are more likely to buy from a brand that showcases diversity in its marketing.Indians place a high value on cultural sensitivity. When marketers show an understanding and appreciation of local customs and traditions, they are more likely to gain the trust and respect of the target audience. On the other hand, cultural insensitivity can lead to alienation and backlash. For example, a report by Nielsen found that consumer preferences for food products, fashion, and entertainment can significantly differ across regions.Consumer behaviour in India can differ significantly from region to region and even across demographic segments. By connecting with consumers on a cultural level, marketers can gain insights into their preferences, needs, and aspirations, allowing them to tailor their offerings and messages accordingly. For example, a report by Nielsen found that consumer preferences for food products, fashion, and entertainment can significantly differ across regions.Brands that successfully adapt their content and messaging to local languages and cultural references can increase their relevance and relatability. Localisation goes beyond mere translation and involves embracing colloquial language and cultural symbols, forging stronger connections with consumers. A study by Common Sense Advisory revealed that 72.4 per cent of Indian consumers are more likely to buy products with information in their native language.Indians tend to have strong emotional connections to brands that understand and reflect their cultural identities. When a brand aligns its values and narratives with those of the consumers, it fosters a sense of belonging, leading to higher brand loyalty and advocacy. According to a survey conducted by Nielsen, 68 per cent of Indian consumers prefer content that is culturally relevant and resonates with their traditions and values.India's calendar is filled with numerous festivals and celebrations throughout the year. Marketers who tap into these occasions can create powerful campaigns that evoke joy and nostalgia, making a lasting impression on the target audience. According to a report by KPMG, during major festivals like Diwali, consumer spending in India increases substantially, providing marketers with unique opportunities to connect their brands with festive emotions.With the rapid growth of internet penetration and smartphone usage, India's digital landscape is flourishing. Marketers who connect with consumers through digital platforms and social media can tap into a vast and engaged audience.Word-of-mouth is highly influential in Indian consumer behaviour. When a brand successfully connects with its audience on cultural touchpoints, consumers are more likely to share their positive experiences with friends and family, amplifying the brand's reach.India's market is highly competitive, and brands must stand out to capture consumers' attention. A cultural connection can be a differentiator, helping brands carve a unique identity in the minds of consumers. A study by Kantar revealed that advertisements with emotional storytelling outperform rational ones in India, leading to higher brand recall and purchase intent.Understanding cultural norms is critical to avoid inadvertently promoting content or messaging that may be seen as offensive or inappropriate in Indian culture. A misstep in this regard can lead to severe reputational damage for a brand.In conclusion, in the Indian context, connecting culture, consumer, content, and brand is essential for marketers to build meaningful relationships with consumers, drive brand loyalty, and ultimately succeed in a diverse and vibrant market. Brands that embrace cultural sensitivity and create relevant, localized content can unlock the immense potential of the Indian consumer base and achieve long-term success.The writer is the founder and director, Hotcult.

Maharashtra BJP chief spokesperson Keshav Upadhye issued a clarification saying the old video is posted several times as the party workers take inspiration from it.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 28 Oct 2023 12:11 AM (IST)
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ( Image Source : PTI )New Delhi: Creating a fresh flutter in the state's political circles, the BJP's Maharashtra unit on Friday posted a four-year-old video of former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis saying that he will return to helm of affairs in the state. Taking to X, the state BJP posted a video of Fadnavis along with a caption “I will return for building a new Maharashtra.” However, the social media post was deleted later.Later, Maharashtra BJP’s chief spokesperson Keshav Upadhye issued a clarification saying the old video is posted several times as the workers take inspiration from it and there was no need to draw “any other conclusion”.हा व्हिडीओ सोशल मीडिया मर्यादित आहे जनादेश यात्रेतील हा व्हिडीओ आता पर्यत अनेकदा टाकला गेला आहे. त्यातून कार्यकर्त्यांना प्रेरणा मिळत असते.या आधीच माननीय देवेंद्रजीनीच स्पष्ट केले आहे की,एकनाथ शिंदे मुख्यमंत्री हेच मुख्यमंत्री राहतील आणि त्यांच्याच नेतृत्वात आगामी निवडणुका… https://t.co/zsXjSYdi66
“BJP’s stance is clear. This video has also been posted earlier on social media. Fadnavis has said the next state elections will be fought under Shinde’s leadership,” Upadhye told a TV channel.“There is no need for the Shinde group to be apprehensive (over the video). Shinde and Fadnavis share a good rapport and coordination. Shinde, Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar are working together for development of Maharashtra,” Upadhye added.It is to be noted that before the state elections in 2019, Fadnavis, then-chief minister, had said, “Mi punha yein” (I will return). He is now the deputy chief minister in Maharashtra.However, CM Eknath Shinde told a TV channel he is yet to see the video posted by BJP state unit.Meanwhile, after BJP posted the video, former CM and Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan wondered if there was a move afoot to replace Shinde as the chief minister.“Maybe Shinde is being made the scapegoat. Such a move may be because the government led by him has failed to tackle important issues,” PTI quoted Chavan as saying.Notably, the state BJP posted the video two days after Fadnavis visited New Delhi and met senior party leaders.'Hindu Dharm Ek Dhokha Hai': Swami Prasad Maurya's Remark Sparks Fresh Row, BJP Slams I.N.D.I.AGujarat: Toxic Gas Leak At Vadodara Pharma Factory Lands 4 Workers In HospitalFire Breaks Out In Empty Coach In Maharashtra's Nanded4-Year-Old Boy Kidnapped, Sold At Rs 2.95 Lakh In Jharkhand. 6 ArrestedBig Cat Napping On Wall In UP Leaves Crowd Awestruck: Watch'Spare 5 Minutes To...': Vinesh Phogat Tells PM Modi She Will Return Return Arjuna AwardDelhi: 'Blast' Near Israel Embassy Puts Police On High Alert.

The English team were asked to bat first after New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won the toss at the Narendra Modi Stadium.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 05 Oct 2023 08:08 PM (IST)
Joe Root during England's practise session. ( Image Source : Getty )In the World Cup 2023 opening game between England and New Zealand, the English batters created history at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. This is the very first time in the history of 50-over cricket, that all the 11 batters have scored in double digits in an innings. The former England skipper starred with the bat with a well-made 77, other batters Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali made 11 each which is the lowest total by a batter in the England innings in Ahmedabad.The English team were asked to bat first after New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won the toss at the Narendra Modi Stadium. England opener pair of Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow built a 40-run stand before getting out. The kind of start the English batters got, they failed to score a big total. Malan got out against Matt Henry who took the first wicket to fall in the World Cup 2023. English opener Jonny Bairstow also departed after making 33. Harry Brook also went out cheaply on a score of 25 from 16 balls to left-arm spinner Rachin Ravindra. New Zealand’s Glenn Philips got the procedure wicket of Moeen Ali and Joe Root and put pressure on English batters."Brilliant, obviously they got off to a flyer, but our spinners and seamers in the middle overs brought us back in the game, restricting them to 280 was pleasing. When Stokes was rested, one left-hander was taken out, but Latham used his other options well," Phillips said after his bowling effort. Skipper Jos Buttler however played at attacking knock of 42-ball 43 after coming in to bat at No. 6 but Matt Henry snared him in the 34th over. England somehow managed to post a total of 282 in 50 overs, kudos to the crucial contributions from the likes of Chirs Woakes, Adil Rashid, and Mark Wood.

Arindam Bagchi, Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs Friday said India values free movement of commercial shipping and Indian defence forces are taking necessary measuresRelated StoriesBy: Nayanima Basu | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 08:36 PM (IST)
INS Chennai, one of the four warships India has deployed in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the Arabian Sea. ( Image Source : PTI )New Delhi: India has clarified that it is not part of any multilateral initiative either on or around the Red Sea amid growing concerns of merchant ships coming under drone attacks even as New Delhi has mobilised defence forces as a deterrent measure, according to Arindam Bagchi, Outgoing Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs.“We value the free movement of commercial shipping, which is one of the fundamental principles underpinning global commerce. We are carefully evaluating all aspects of the unfolding situation in that region. Our defence forces are taking necessary measures in this regard,” Bagchi said Friday. He said, “India is not a part of any multilateral initiative or operation presently in or around the Red Sea.”This comes after India deployed four warships – INS Chennai, INS Mormugao, INS Kochi, and INS Kolkata – in its exclusive economic zone in the Arabian Sea for deterrence presence.According to Bagchi, India is coordinating with our countries also but New Delhi is not a part of any initiative but is not part of any global initiative of the Red Sea.This comes after two merchant ships – Liberian-flagged MV Chem Pluto and Gabon-flagged MV Sai Baba – having a significant size of Indian crew members were attacked by drone strikes or missiles as they got engulfed in the ongoing war in Gaza.Apart from the four destroyers, the Indian Navy has also dispatched P8I Aircraft, Dorniers, Sea Guardian drones, helicopters & coast guard ships to jointly counter the threats in the region.Initial investigations by the Indian Navy have revealed that the attack on MV Chem Pluto was indeed carried out by a drone. The US has said Iran-backed Houthi rebels are behind the attack, which Tehran has denied.On Tuesday, while commissioning the fourth Visakhapatnam class stealth-guided missile destroyer, INS Imphal, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, “Indian Navy has increased surveillance of the sea. Whoever has carried out this attack, we will find them even from the seabed and strict action will be taken against them.Meanwhile, the attacks have intensified in the Red Sea that have led the US to establish a naval coalition to counter the threats emerging there. Greece is the latest country to join the coalition.The Red Sea task force, also called Operation Prosperity Guardian, includes the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain.India Not Part Of Any Multilateral Initiative On Red Sea, Says MEAFortifying Digital Defences: What Cybersecurity Challenges Will Be Like In 2047Indian Navy Unveils Chhatrapati Shivaji-Inspired Epaulettes For Officers — Details'Threats To India Can Be Better Mitigated': ISRO Plans To Launch 50 Satellites In 5 Years‘Looking Forward To Seeing Him In Russia’: Putin Invites PM Modi To Moscow This website uses cookies or similar technologies, to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalised recommendations.

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin released an eleven-minute audio message following a mutiny that threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin's grip on power.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Jun 2023 09:29 PM (IST)
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin ( Image Source : Getty )In his first remarks after aborting a mutiny that briefly rocked Russia, Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Monday that his paramilitary group didn't march to overthrow President Putin's leadership, BBC reported.In an eleven-minute audio message, Prigozhin said, "We were on a march to demonstrate our protest, not to topple the government.""The aim of the march was to avoid destruction of Wagner and to hold to account the officials who through their unprofessional actions have committed a massive number of errors," he further said.Prigozhin said Wagner regrets "they had to hit Russian aviation" and they turned around "to avoid spilling blood of Russian soldiers".ALSO READ | The Wagner Group Rebellion: Unravelling The Rift Between Putin And PrigozhinSpeaking on the deal that was made to halt the Wagner revolt, Prigozhin claimed his outfit was "categorically against the decision to incorporate Wagner into the Defence Ministry".He said commanders refused to accept the request to sign contracts with the Russian Defence Ministry. He also claimed that 30 of his men "were killed by Russian attacks".The Russian Defence Ministry has denied Prigozhin's allegations that they killed some of his men in an airstrike.Prigozhin said Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko played a major role in the deal and "extended his hand and offered to find ways for Wagner to continue its work legally".Claiming that his outfit's march towards Moscow on Saturday revealed "serious security problems across the entire country", Prigozhin said his units had managed to block "all" Russian military units and airfields in their path.ALSO READ | Russian Defence Min Makes First Public Appearance Since Wagner Group Demanded His OusterHe also claimed that if Wagner's troops had carried out the first attack in Ukraine, "the special military operation" would have been over much sooner.The mutiny ended when the Kremlin said criminal charges against the mutineers would be dropped in exchange for their return to camps.However, the Kommersant newspaper and three Russian news agencies reported that the criminal case against Prigozhin remained open and was still being pursued.

Arindam Bagchi, Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs Friday said India values free movement of commercial shipping and Indian defence forces are taking necessary measuresRelated StoriesBy: Nayanima Basu | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 08:36 PM (IST)
INS Chennai, one of the four warships India has deployed in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the Arabian Sea. ( Image Source : PTI )New Delhi: India has clarified that it is not part of any multilateral initiative either on or around the Red Sea amid growing concerns of merchant ships coming under drone attacks even as New Delhi has mobilised defence forces as a deterrent measure, according to Arindam Bagchi, Outgoing Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs.“We value the free movement of commercial shipping, which is one of the fundamental principles underpinning global commerce. We are carefully evaluating all aspects of the unfolding situation in that region. Our defence forces are taking necessary measures in this regard,” Bagchi said Friday. He said, “India is not a part of any multilateral initiative or operation presently in or around the Red Sea.”This comes after India deployed four warships – INS Chennai, INS Mormugao, INS Kochi, and INS Kolkata – in its exclusive economic zone in the Arabian Sea for deterrence presence.According to Bagchi, India is coordinating with our countries also but New Delhi is not a part of any initiative but is not part of any global initiative of the Red Sea.This comes after two merchant ships – Liberian-flagged MV Chem Pluto and Gabon-flagged MV Sai Baba – having a significant size of Indian crew members were attacked by drone strikes or missiles as they got engulfed in the ongoing war in Gaza.Apart from the four destroyers, the Indian Navy has also dispatched P8I Aircraft, Dorniers, Sea Guardian drones, helicopters & coast guard ships to jointly counter the threats in the region.Initial investigations by the Indian Navy have revealed that the attack on MV Chem Pluto was indeed carried out by a drone. The US has said Iran-backed Houthi rebels are behind the attack, which Tehran has denied.On Tuesday, while commissioning the fourth Visakhapatnam class stealth-guided missile destroyer, INS Imphal, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, “Indian Navy has increased surveillance of the sea. Whoever has carried out this attack, we will find them even from the seabed and strict action will be taken against them.Meanwhile, the attacks have intensified in the Red Sea that have led the US to establish a naval coalition to counter the threats emerging there. Greece is the latest country to join the coalition.The Red Sea task force, also called Operation Prosperity Guardian, includes the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain.India Not Part Of Any Multilateral Initiative On Red Sea, Says MEAFortifying Digital Defences: What Cybersecurity Challenges Will Be Like In 2047Indian Navy Unveils Chhatrapati Shivaji-Inspired Epaulettes For Officers — Details'Threats To India Can Be Better Mitigated': ISRO Plans To Launch 50 Satellites In 5 Years‘Looking Forward To Seeing Him In Russia’: Putin Invites PM Modi To Moscow This website uses cookies or similar technologies, to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalised recommendations.

The companies that plan to reduce carbon emissions for three years are ACC, an Indian cement producer; Adani Energy Solutions; Adani Enterprises; Ambuja Cements; and the Indian Oil Corporation.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Sep 2023 10:51 PM (IST)
The sectors that aim to maintain carbon emission reduction targets for three years are that of petrochemicals, iron and steel, cement, and pulp and paper. ( Image Source : Getty )India is planning to set carbon emission reduction targets for four sectors that are dependent on fossil fuels. These sectors are that of petrochemicals, iron and steel, cement, and pulp and paper, news agency Reuters reported. The sectors aim to maintain these targets for three years. This is part of India's efforts to meet its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, a Reuters report said, citing two government officials. The companies that plan to reduce carbon emissions for three years are ACC, an Indian cement producer; Adani Energy Solutions; Adani Enterprises; Ambuja Cements; and the Indian Oil Corporation. Not only will these companies try to meet certain emissions reduction targets, but will also be the first to start carbon trading in India. MUST READ | India-Bhutan SAT: How India Is Helping Smaller Nations Like Bhutan With Space TechnologyCarbon trading is a practice that levies a carbon tax on emissions with the aim to curb the release of greenhouse gases into the environment. Companies that emit less can sell their carbon credits to firms that emit more greenhouse gases. These sectors intend to start carbon trading in April 2025. MUST READ | Science For Everyone: How Clean, Green And Renewable Energies Are Similar To And Different From Each OtherQuoting one of the government officials, the Reuters report said that the mandates for carbon emission reductions will be applicable from 2024-2025, and that carbon trade will begin in 2025-2026. India has submitted its emission intensity reduction goals to the United Nations, and based on these, the targets will be aligned. Emission intensity refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions emitted for every unit increase of gross domestic product (GDP), the report said.

The Indian Parliament cleared the Energy Conservation Amendment Bill last year. This includes provisions for putting in place a carbon market. A carbon credit sold outside the country cannot be used for meeting the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the originating country, according to the framework set by the Bill. Carbon pricing can help the world achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. By assigning a cost to each tonne of emitted carbon dioxide, carbon pricing incentivises businesses and encourages them to adopt greener alternatives.MUST READ | Fossil Fuel Treaty Necessary For 'Just And Socially Equitable' Clean Energy Transition: Experts On How To Achieve Net Zero By 2050How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Hypothyroidism Signs And Symptoms: Nearly 1 in 10 people in India suffer from a thyroid problem. Yet, it is a condition which often goes undiagnosed or untreated due to a lack of awareness.Screening And Treatment Of HypothyroidismRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Aug 2022 10:23 AM (IST)
Signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism ( Image Source : Getty )Written by Dr Priyamvada TyagiExperiencing excessive hair loss? Feeling tired and uneasy or gaining weight despite following a healthy lifestyle? It might be time to get your thyroid levels checked.Nearly 1 in 10 people in India suffer from a thyroid problem. Yet, it is a condition which often goes undiagnosed or untreated due to a lack of awareness. In fact, most people do not know about their thyroid condition unless they get specifically tested for it.The thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ, resting at the interior part of the neck is seemingly tiny but is critical to the core functions of our body. It produces the important triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4) hormones under the influence of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the pituitary gland. The thyroid hormones influence how fast energy is produced or used by the body, and hence, impact important functions such as our heart rate, breathing, muscular function, reproduction, digestion, mood, and functioning of the brain. Deficiency of the thyroid hormones leads to hypothyroidism. It can be either primary or secondary. Primary hypothyroidism occurs when the functioning of the thyroid gland is affected by autoimmunity or medical interventions (e.g. surgery, radiation). Secondary hypothyroidism takes place due to reduced activity of other glands such as the pituitary. Hypothyroidism is a lifelong condition and inadequate secretion of hormones can dysregulate metabolic function and lead to several symptoms like decreased energy levels, excessive hair loss and weight gain. Other early signs of hypothyroidism can include:-Dryness of skin and brittle nails-Muscle weakness-Brain fog and poor concentration levels-Mood swings-Decline in gut health, constipation-Facial puffiness and swelling-Menstrual irregularities and fertility issues-Insomnia or troubled sleeping patternsSymptoms of a thyroid disorder can manifest differently in people. It can cause no symptoms as it is slowly progressive or cause complications in some cases. Majorly, these symptoms tend to be non-specific and overlap with other conditions, which makes it difficult for an individual to detect them in time by consulting a doctor. This is one of the reasons it is important to check your thyroid levels regularly.Hypothyroidism is highly prevalent in India, and more commonly reported amongst women. Yet, a majority of women remain clueless about the condition and do not get screened in time. Since this condition can impact a woman at all stages of life, it is advisable for women to monitor their thyroid health regularly in consultation with their doctor.Early detection is key to effective management and doctors usually advise a comprehensive check-up. While a physical check-up can identify visible symptoms like an enlarged thyroid gland, abnormal reflexes, swelling, discolouration in the skin or a change in body temperature, specific blood tests measure the levels of TSH and T4. High TSH levels with low or normal T4 levels reflect hypothyroidism.It is a common misconception that thyroid disorders are difficult to treat. One can lead a normal and healthy life after detection, as oral medications can help control abnormalities and related symptoms. These medicines contain a synthetic version of the thyroid hormone and help in the proper functioning of the gland. Besides this, patients are often advised to avoid certain foods that contain 'goitrogens' such as soy-based products, tofu, excess tea or caffeine, alcohol, and certain fruits to avoid exacerbation of the symptoms. However, food options like eggs, meat, gluten-free grains and seeds, iodised salts, and green veggies are potent and beneficial in managing hypothyroidism. Diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications are also recommended.Since hypothyroidism develops slowly, one may not observe the signs or symptoms for months or years together. Therefore, it becomes vital to screen for thyroid function, preferably once every year, stay alert to warning signs and consult the doctor in order to manage hypothyroidism effectively.The author is DM Endocrinology, MD, Consultant Endocrinologist, Max Patparganj, Sushrut Healthcare and Hormone India, Noida.Check out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorZombie Deer Disease Found In Many US Animals, Scientists Worried Of Potential Spread To Humans.

Kotak General Insurance's market share in the non-life market by premiums stood at 0.52 per cent as of SeptemberRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 02 Nov 2023 12:08 PM (IST)
Zurich is a leading multi-line insurer, having a presence in over 200 countries and territories, and its parent Zurich Insurance Group is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange. ( Image Source : Getty )Switzerland's Zurich Insurance is set to acquire a 51 per cent stake in Kotak General Insurance for Rs 4,051 crore, its parent Kotak Mahindra Bank said on Thursday. The Swiss insurer's investment in the eight-year-old domestic company will be through a combination of fresh growth capital and share purchase, as per a regulatory filing by the listed lender.It will follow up with an additional 19 per cent stake purchase, which will happen within three years of the initial acquisition, the filing said.Kotak General Insurance's market share in the non-life market by premiums stood at 0.52 per cent as of September. Its gross written premium for FY23 stood at Rs 1,148.30 crore, and the share sale values the general insurance company at Rs 7,943 crore on a post-money valuation."India is one of the world's most important markets with immense potential, and we are pleased to be making a significant commitment with an excellent partner," Tulsi Naidu, Zurich's chief executive for Asia Pacific, said."The combined expertise and resources of the respective firms will enable us to provide innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers," Kotak General Insurance's managing director and chief executive Dipak Gupta said.Kotak Mahindra group's physical and digital distribution strength and Zurich's global capabilities in digital assets and both B2C and B2B formats will benefit the company, he added.Naidu exuded confidence that the partnership could bring innovation, know-how, and excellent customer experiences to the Indian general insurance market.Kotak Mahindra Bank and Kotak Mahindra General Insurance Company have entered into a definitive agreement for the stake sale with Zurich Insurance Company.The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India, and the Competition Commission of India.Kotak Mahindra General Insurance Company's chairman Gaurang Shah said the company has invested to create a multi-product franchise with strong fundamental building blocks, and hoped that Zurich will help Kotak General Insurance grow rapidly.Post-deal, Kotak General Insurance will cease to be a subsidiary of the bank, as per the filing.For the three months ended September 2023, the insurance company's loss narrowed to Rs 7 crore from the year-ago's Rs 17 crore. Its capital, reserves and surplus stood at Rs 379 crore as of September 30.It can be noted that a slew of global insurers have made strong bets on the country's insurance sector ever since it was opened for foreign direct investment and have also utilised the legroom to increase their shareholding to the majority when the policy allowed them to.Zurich is a leading multi-line insurer, having a presence in over 200 countries and territories, and its parent Zurich Insurance Group is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.The Kotak Mahindra Bank share scrip was trading 1.23 per cent up at Rs 1,744.90 apiece on the BSE at 1119 hrs, as against gains of 0.69 per cent on the benchmark.

The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) wants to increase its bets in India and is among parties that are in talks to buy into Reliance Retail Ventures LtdRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Jul 2023 02:05 PM (IST)
Reliance Retail also raised over $6 billion three years ago from series of major investors, including the sovereign wealth funds. ( Image Source : Getty )Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund is in early talks to buy a minority stake in Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd, citing sources familiar with the development told news agency Bloomberg. According to the report, the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) wants to increase its bets in India and is among parties that are in talks to buy into Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd. The stake may amount to $1 billion, one of the sources privy to the developemnt said. Other oil-rich Middle Eastern investors looking to diversify their portfolios are also keen to invest in Ambani’s retail arm, sources told the news agency.The deliberations are still at a preliminary stage and a deal may not happen soon, the sources added. The Financial Times first reported the discussions on Wednesday, citing three people with knowledge of the talks. Parent company Reliance Industries Ltd. rose as much as 2.5 per cent, the most since July 17, on Wednesday.

Calcium is needed for muscle movement, cardiovascular health and for nerves to carry messages from the brain to every part of the body.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 28 Feb 2023 02:34 PM (IST)
Calcium helps blood vessels move blood throughout the body and helps release hormones that in turn affect other bodily functions. When one does not get enough calcium, they are at risk of developing several disorders. ( Image Source : Getty )By Dr Ranjana SharmaCalcium is a mineral that is required to build and maintain strong bones and carry out many other important functions in the body. Calcium is needed for muscle movement, cardiovascular health and for nerves to carry messages from the brain to every part of the body. Calcium also helps blood vessels move blood throughout the body and helps release hormones that in turn affect other bodily functions.Early signs and symptoms of calcium deficiency Nearly 98 per cent of calcium is stored in the bones which act as a reservoir of calcium and maintain normal calcium levels in the blood (homeostasis). When you don’t get enough calcium, you are at risk of developing several disorders. It leads to reduced calcium in your bone, increases the risk of osteomalacia and contributes to osteoporosis. Calcium deficiency may not cause any symptoms at the early stages. However, symptoms start to develop when the deficiency becomes severe. A severe calcium deficiency can produce symptoms such as numbness and tingling in the fingers, muscle and bone tenderness, muscle spasms and abnormal, burning sensation around the mouth and fingers and seizures. Other symptoms include anxiety, low blood pressure, irritability, difficulty in swallowing, spinal or hip pain, brittle nails/hair and fractures. Long-term calcium deficiency can trigger permanent loss of bone which causes fragility, broken bones and even loss of mobility. Women need an extra dosage of calciumGirls reach their highest bone mass by adolescence and start to lose bone mass as they age. Therefore, adequate calcium intake during their teens helps prevent weak bones during adulthood. Calcium intake is very important during pregnancy and lactation. Since the foetus and the newborn are dependent on maternal sources for calcium, the skeletal density of the mother depletes. Adequate calcium consumption during this time is essential to increase maternal calcium storage and retain bone health. During menopause, too, the hormone oestrogen declines, causing low bone density. Globally, nearly 3 out of every 10 postmenopausal women suffer from osteoporosis. In India, almost 48.8 million women have osteoporosis. How much calcium do you need?The normal calcium requirement in adults is 600 mg per day with the requirement increasing to 1,200 mg a day in pregnant women. Some good sources of calcium include milk, curds, nuts, foxtail millet (Ragi) and green leafy vegetables. However, if you’re not getting enough calcium from your diet, supplements can be the right option for you after consulting with your doctor. Depending on your profile and calcium needs, the doctor will choose the right supplement for you.If you are concerned about not getting enough calcium, consult your doctor to boost your intake with the right calcium supplement.

The Enforcement Directorate is probing the BBC under the Foreign Exchange Management Act for irregularities in foreign funding.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 13 Apr 2023 03:22 PM (IST)
The ED is probing the BBC for irregularities in foreign funding ( Image Source : AFP )The Enforcement Directorate has filed a case against BBC under the Foreign Exchange Management Act for irregularities in foreign funding, news agency ANI reported. This comes nearly two months after Income Tax officials conducted surveys at BBC India offices across multiple locations. Officials had stated the survey was conducted over 'irregularities detected on certain tax payments'. A deputy managing editor of the news company has deposed before the agency.The ED has called for documents and the recording of statements of some company executives under provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), the officials said.The probe is essentially looking at purported foreign direct investment (FDI) violations by the company, they said.After the Income Tax survey was conducted, BBC issued an official statement claiming that it would continue to comply with authorities. “We will continue to cooperate with the authorities and hope matters are resolved as soon as possible," reads the official statement. “The BBC is a trusted, independent media organisation and we stand by our colleagues and journalists who will continue to report without fear or favour,” the statement further stated.The Income Tax department's marathon "surveys" at BBC's headquarters completed after nearly 60 hours, after authorities created an inventory of financial data from chosen personnel and gathered digital and paper data. y.According to officials, as part of the survey operation that lasted three days and 57-58 hours, tax authorities inventoried the available goods, recorded the statements of some personnel, and confiscated some papers.According to them, the survey was conducted to evaluate concerns with foreign taxation and transfer pricing of BBC subsidiary firms.The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the administrative body for the I-T department, had then said the income and profits shown by various BBC group entities were "not commensurate" with the scale of their operations in India and tax has not been paid on certain remittances by its foreign entities. "The CBDT said the survey found that despite substantial consumption of content in various Indian languages (apart from English), the income/profits shown by various group entities (of BBC) is not commensurate with the scale of operations in India." "...the department gathered several evidences pertaining to the operation of the organisation which indicate that tax has not been paid on certain remittances which have not been disclosed as income in India by the foreign entities of the group," the CBDT had said. The action had led to a sharp political debate with the ruling BJP accusing the BBC of "venomous reporting" while the Opposition questioned the timing -- weeks after the broadcaster aired a two-part documentary, "India: The Modi Question".'Nitish Kumar Convener And Prime Minister Of...': JD-U Pushes For New Party Chief As I.N.D.I.A's Choice For Top PostBreaking News Live — Mobile Internet Services Restored In Poonch, Rajouri After A WeekChhattisgarh CM Sai Allocates Portfolios, Deputy CM Vijay Sharma Gets Home Ministry'Cold Day' Alert Sounded In Delhi, Dense Fog Likely Over North India For Next 3 DaysCovid-19 LIVE: India Logs 797 New Cases, Highest In 225 DaysULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam Govt'Why Does Narendra Modi Hate Muslims': Asaduddin Owaisi On Sunehri Bagh Masjid Demolition ThreatShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: ReportIndia Has Sent Extradition Request For 26/11 Attack Mastermind Hafiz Saeed: MEAOut Of Favour India Star Rahane's 3-Word Post Goes Viral After India's Crushing Defeat To South Africa/body>

Lack of awareness and knowledge gap, coupled with myths around migraine, has led to under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of the chronic neurological disease.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP Live Focus | Updated at : 12 Jul 2022 06:11 PM (IST)
Migraine affects over 1 billion people across the world. ( Image Source : Getty )Migraine is a chronic neurological disease that affects over 1 billion people across the world. It is a common headache disorder, making up 16% of the total neurological disorder disease burden in India. Despite ranking consistently among the top 10 leading causes of years lived with disability, worldwide, the invisible condition remains poorly understood. “Most people do not realize that there is an entity known as migraine which requires treatment. So, if one is having frequent headaches, it is important to seek help from a neurologist rather than taking OTC products, as that can lead to complications in the long run. Women who are housewives, consider migraine as a headache due to routine household stress, while working women treat them as a ‘casual’ headache due to work stress. There is a huge lack of awareness leading to the low rate of diagnosis and treatment. Almost half of the patients come only when they are really in trouble,” says Dr Prashant Makhija, Consultant Neurologist, Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central. The lack of awareness and knowledge gap has also been accompanied with myths around this condition which has led to under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of this disorder. Here are key Migraine myths and facts so that one sees a doctor according to their conditions: Myth #1: The biggest mythpeople tend to believe is that there is no treatment for MigraineFact: With advanced therapies and lifestyle changes, migraine can be managed well, and people with migraine can lead normal lives. Myth #2: Women mainly think migraine is a part of normal life and that everyone gets headaches.Fact: Only 10-15% of women in the age group of 20-40 have migraine. Eighty per cent women do not have headaches, which means that it is not normal. Migraine is a definite disease, and it requires immediate medical attention. Myth #3: Headaches are usually linked with an eyesight number issue.Fact: Since headaches are looked upon as frivolous and go away in a few hours with short-term remedies, people tend to ignore the long-term treatment of the condition. They do not work toward tackling subsequent attacks to avoid the recurrent headaches.Myth #4: Environmental factors do not play a key role in headache triggers.Fact: Recurrent headaches, accompanied by nausea and vomiting that are triggered by light and noise, and other environmental factors are symptoms of migraine, and it is important to understand them to self-recognise the disorder. Myth #5: Migraine has nothing to do with genetics.Fact: Migraine is an inherited tendency and the predisposition to recurrent headaches is transmitted through genes.While core features such as triggering factors, family history, and recurrent and disabling headaches are the same among people suffering from migraine, there are other additional symptoms that may vary from person to person. Headaches also vary across age groups, one may suffer from a certain kind of headache in the early years, however, the headaches can be severe in the later years. Dr Jaydip Ray Chaudhuri, Consultant Neuro Physician, Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, said: “There is a significant gap in knowledge when it comes to managing migraine. Almost 5% of the patients are misdiagnosed as cervical spondylitis or infection in the brain. Therefore, there is a need to spread awareness around the preventive measures for this disorder. Migraine can be managed with simple lifestyle changes such as adequate sleep for 8 hours, eating timely meals, and refraining from stress.”While significant barriers to migraine diagnosis and treatment persist, experts believe, it is imperative to outline and address these roadblocks to limit disease burden and pave the way for a smoother patient journey for migraineurs in India.Check out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorZombie Deer Disease Found In Many US Animals, Scientists Worried Of Potential Spread To Humans.

Hardik Pandya could be replaced as the vice-captain for Asia Cup and World Cup.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 19 Aug 2023 11:47 PM (IST)
Hardik Pandya of India speaks to the media after a game against the West Indies at Broward County Stadium on August 13, 2023 in Lauderhill, Florida. ( Image Source : Getty Images )With not much time left for Asia Cup 2023 which is set to commence on August 30, all eyes are on the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) squad announcemet for the continental tournament which will be played in the ODI format. Among a lot of speculation regarding who all could be in the squad and who misses out, a recent media report suggests another big change which could be the way going forward into the ODI World Cup 2023.Notably, while it was all-rounder Hardik Pandya who has been the designated vice-captain to Rohit Sharma in ODIs, it now seems like with fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah back in the scheme of things, it could be the speedster who could give a tough fight to Hardik to be the vice-captain of the side."If you look in terms of leadership seniority, Bumrah is ahead of Pandya as he captained the Test team in 2022. He has also been ODI vice-captain before Pandya during the ODI tour of South Africa," a BCCI source was quoted by news agency PTI on conditions of anonymity."Don't be surprised if you see Bumrah being made ODI deputy to Rohit for both Asia Cup and World Cup. There is a reason why he was handed captaincy in Ireland instead of Ruturaj," the source added.The fact that India lose under Pandya's captaincy in the T20I series against West Indies could have a role to play in this decision. Even though the pace-bowling all-rounder has had a great record leading the Gujarat Titans (GT) side in the IPL, many reckon that much of that credit goes to coach Ashish Nehra instead.Meanwhile, a separate report suggests that India head coach Rahul Dravid could also be part of the selection meeting along with captain Rohit Sharma. This is for the first time that a coach would be allowed to be part of the selection meeting. While Team India have had some high profile namesas head coaches in the past- the likes of Ravi Shastri and Anil Kumble- even they were not allowed to be part of the selection meeting.IND vs SA 1st Test Live: Rain Causes Delay In Proceedings Of Day 2BBL 2023-24: Melbourne Stars End Sydney Sixers’ Winning Streak In Controversy-Marred MatchIND vs SA Boxing Day Test Lunch: India 91/3 As Kohli And Iyer Lead Recovery From Dismal StartIndia vs South Africa 1st Test: Debutant Nandre Burger Rattles India’s Top OrderAUS vs PAK Boxing Day Test: Australia Reach 187-3 On Rain-Marred Day 1, As It HappenedMamata Banerjee To Skip Ram Temple Event On Jan 22: ReportManipur to Mumbai: Eyes On 2024, Rahul To Lead 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' From Jan 14.

An undated photo shows tourist submersible belongs to OceanGate begins to descent at a sea. Search and rescue operations continue by US Coast Guard in Boston after a tourist submarine bound for the Titanic's wreckage site went missing off the southeastern coast of Canada. ( Image Source : Getty Images )After days of aerial and underwater searches, a robotic diving vehicle deployed from a Canadian ship discovered a debris field from the submersible Titan on the seabed 1,600 feet (488 metres) from the bow of the Titanic after the submersible went missing on Sunday. Tributes are being paid to the five people who are now believed to have been instantly killed in the “catastrophic implosion”. Coast Guard officials said that five major fragments of the 22-foot Titan were found in the debris field left from its disintegration, including the vessel’s tail cone and two sections of the pressure hull, The Guardian reported.“The debris field here is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vehicle,” Rear Admiral John Mauger of the US coast guard said, as per its report.The Titan, operated by the US-based company OceanGate Expeditions, had gone missing after it lost contact with its surface support ship on Sunday morning about an hour and 45 minutes into a two-hour dive to the world’s most famous shipwreck.In its tribute, the White House stated that the loved ones of the five men had endured a “harrowing ordeal” over the past week.“Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives on the Titan,” it wrote in a statement. “They have been through a harrowing ordeal over the past few days, and we are keeping them in our thoughts and prayers,” it added.The White House thanked the US coast guard along with Canadian, British, and French partners who were involved in the search and rescue operation.OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood, 48-year-old vice chairman of Engro Corporation, and his 19-year-old son Suleman are among the dead.OceanGate, the company that operated the Titan hailed the passengers as “true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans”. “We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew,” it addedFollowing the news of his death, Hamish Harding’s family remembered a “dedicated father” who was “a guide, an inspiration, a support and a living legend”.“He was one of a kind and we adored him. He was a passionate explorer – whatever the terrain – who lived his life for his family, his business and for the next adventure. What he achieved in his lifetime was truly remarkable and if we can take any small consolation from this tragedy, it’s that we lost him doing what he loved,” the statement read, according to The Guardian’s report.Harding’s family said they were “united in grief” with the families of the others who had died.UK foreign secretary James Cleverly described the event as “tragic news” and said the UK Government was closely supporting the British families affected.Shahzada Dawood and his Suleman’s family expressed their “profound grief” and said they were “truly grateful” to all those involved in the rescue efforts.“Their untiring efforts were a source of strength for us,” said the statement from Hussain and Kulsum Dawood, the parents of Shahzada Dawood, as quoted by the report. “The immense love and support we receive continues to help us to endure this unimaginable loss,” they added.Suleman’s aunt Azmeh Dawood said he felt “terrified” about the adventure, according to NBC news, but opted to go as the trip took place over the US Father’s Day weekend.More On It: 'Caught In A Bad Film': Aunt Of Pak Teen Who Died In Titanic Sub Implosion Says He 'Wasn't Up For It'Breaking News Live: Congress To Organise Rally On Party's Foundation Day Tomorrow In NagpurIsrael Asks Citizens To Stay Alert, Avoid Showing Israeli Symbols Openly After Blast Near Delhi EmbassyUS Shoots Down Multiple Drones, Missiles Fired By Houthis Over Red SeaHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Masarat Alam Bhat leads a faction of the banned Muslim League Jammu Kashmir and is currently in Tihar Jail for his alleged involvement in 2010 Kashmir protests leading to over 100 deaths.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 27 Dec 2023 08:08 PM (IST)
File Photo Of Masarat Alam ( Image Source : Getty Images )The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) designated the 'Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction)' (MLJK-MA) as an 'Unlawful Association' under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).Home Minister Amit Shah announced the decision through a post on X, stating, "This organisation and its members are involved in anti-national and secessionist activities in J&K supporting terrorist activities and inciting people to establish Islamic rule in J&K. The PM @narendramodi government’s message is loud and clear that anyone acting against the unity, sovereignty, and integrity of our nation will not be spared and face the full wrath of the law".

Masarat Alam, associated with MLJK-MA, played a prominent role in the pro-Azadi protests in the Valley in 2010. Subsequently arrested and released in 2015, his release strained the PDP-BJP coalition.The Union Home Ministry's decision to ban the association comes in response to its involvement in anti-national and secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir, intending to instigate terror in the country.READ | Muslim League Jammu Kashmir (Masarat Alam faction) An 'Unlawful Association' Under UAPA: Amit ShahMasarat Alam Bhat is known for his anti-India and pro-Pakistan stance. According to a report by Outlook, he assumed the chairmanship of the hardline faction of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference in September 2021 following the death of Syed Ali Shah Geelani.Raised by his grandfather and uncles after losing his parents at a young age, Bhat attended the Tyndale Biscoe missionary school in Srinagar. He was first arrested in 1990 at the age of 19, identified as the local chief of the Pakistan-backed terror group Hezbollah, according to a report by India Today.Bhat later shifted to separatism, becoming a protégé of Geelani. With 27 FIRs and 36 bookings under the Public Safety Act (PSA), he gained notoriety for his involvement in violent protests in Kashmir in 2010. He was accused of playing a key role in organising protests resulting in over 100 deaths.In 2015, Bhat's release became a source of contention in the PDP-BJP alliance when he was rearrested after allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans. He defended himself in an interview with Hindustan Times, saying, "People were killed by armed forces; youth were showered with bullets. If they say I instigated people, let there be an international probe". Known for using social media to spread his message and distributing anti-India CDs in mosques, Bhat has been a driving force behind protest calendars and the 'Quit Kashmir movement,' earning him the moniker 'new poster boy of the ISI in the Valley'. The Union Home Ministry, in its notification, said that the objectives of MLJK-MA include attaining "freedom for Jammu and Kashmir from India", merging it with Pakistan, and establishing Islamic rule. The ban, effective for five years, aims to curb the association's activities that pose a threat to the country's security and sovereignty.

Besides rioters, Congress ministers also stand strongly with those who commit crimes against women," said PM Modi in Rajasthan's Anta Baran."In the last 5 years, incidents of rape have increased in Rajasthan. Here, ministers close to the CM stand in the Assembly House and protect to these criminals.

Congress is the biggest symbol of these three evils," he added.On Rajasthan Elections, Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications, Jairam Ramesh, says, "I will not get into the game of numbers, I will only say what I felt after meeting people. People are not upset with the current govt, they are happy with our schemes...The kind of feedback I have got, I can clearly say that we will be getting a clear majority and this is the reason we have named our manifesto as Jan Ghoshna Patra 2. This is because our first Ghoshna Patra came in 2018 and this is in continuation to the previous one..."Congress MP Rahul Gandhi while addressing a public meeting in Vallabhnagar, Udaipur, said: "The question is, why is BJP spreading hatred in the country? I want to tell you two things, the reason for hatred is unemployment and inflation. The system of the BJP is taking away your attention from unemployment and inflation to hatred. The target of BJP and RSS is that the poor, labourers, farmers, tribals and Dalits be kept away from money. They want all the money to be given to a handful of billionaires..."Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the party "will definitely implement" its manifesto in Rajasthan.
