Weight loss, increased thirst and appetite, and tiredness are the warning signs of type 1 diabetes. Meanwhile, type 2 diabetes is silent, experts say. There are no risk factors for type 1 diabetes.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 22 Jan 2023 11:33 PM (IST)
Type 1 diabetes occurs due to an autoimmune reaction which affects the ability of the body to produce insulin, while type 2 diabetes occurs when the body is unable to use insulin well, resulting in high blood glucose levels. ( Image Source : Getty )Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects the ability of the body to produce energy from food. This is because diabetes affects the ability of the body to produce adequate insulin, as a result of which most of the glucose remains in the bloodstream, and is not utilised for energy generation. Diabetes is of three types, namely, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs due to an autoimmune reaction which affects the ability of the body to produce insulin, type 2 diabetes occurs when the body is unable to use insulin well, resulting in high blood glucose levels, and gestational diabetes can occur in pregnant women who never had diabetes. About 90 to 95 per cent of diabetics have type 2 diabetes. Diabetes can be prevented if one identifies the warning signs and takes action on time. Warning signs of type 1 diabetesType 1 diabetes usually affects children and young adults, and five to 10 per cent of diabetics suffer from this type. “In some cases, type 1 diabetes can occur in older people as well,” Dr Harish Kumar, Clinical Professor and Head, Centre for Endocrinology and Diabetes, Amrita Hospital, Kochi, told ABP Live. “Usually, there is a sudden onset of type one diabetes. The patient may be feeling unwell only for about two to three weeks, and then run up to the diagnosis. Usually there will be some degree of weight loss, increased thirst, increased appetite, general tiredness and so on. So, the patient must have been feeling sick for about two to three weeks prior to the blood sugar levels having risen,” he added.

Here’s WhyWarning signs of type 1 diabetes in children are weight loss, increased thirst and urination. “The patient develops something called ketones in their blood, that comes out through the urine. This condition is called ‘Diabetic ketoacidosis’. This is common in type 1 diabetes. These children are usually lean and thin, and generally do not have a family history of diabetes. There is a very quick onset of type 1 diabetes,” Dr Dheeraj Kapoor, Chief, Endocrinology, Artemis Hospital, Gurugram, told ABP Live. “Type 1 diabetes symptoms that should get the bell ringing are increased thirst, increased urination, increased appetite and on top of that, weight loss. These are the four cardinal signs,” Dr Kapoor added. Warning signs of type 2 diabetesType 2 Diabetes is generally very silent, Dr Kumar said. The vast majority of patients who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes find out that they have the condition when they undergo a blood test, because the symptoms are silent. “However, patients can experience a number of symptoms such as weight loss, feeling tired, increased urination, and respiratory infection or a urinary tract infection. Various symptoms like these can be present in a number of patients, but the majority of patients are asymptomatic,” Dr Kumar added.Patients with type 2 diabetes may have had high blood sugar levels for some months or even years prior to the diagnosis. So, type 2 diabetes, unlike type 1, is a smouldering kind of diabetes which shows no warning signs,” Dr Kumar said. “Almost every Indian is prone to diabetes, but those who have a family history of diabetes, are obese, have a bulging belly, have had PCOS or pregnancy-induced diabetes are at much higher risk of having diabetes as compared to others,” Dr Kapoor said.How to distinguish between the warning signs of type 1 and type 2 diabetes?Type 1 diabetes occurs suddenly. The patient will be significantly ill, experience sudden weight less, feel exhausted, and could suffer from infections, Dr Kumar said. “Type 2 diabetes is a quiet disease. Patients often unexpectedly find out that they have diabetes. The symptoms of type two diabetes are much milder. These patients may experience some degree of tiredness, weight loss, and increased thirst, but not like those in type one diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is dramatic in its presentation and short in its duration,” Dr Kumar added. Risk factors for type 1 diabetesThere are no particular risk factors for type 1 diabetes. It might be triggered by a viral infection, Dr Kumar said. “Type 1 diabetes can sometimes be idiopathic, which means that there is no particular cause, and it happens out of the blue. So, there is no real risk factor for type 1 diabetes,” Dr Kumar added. Risk factors for type 2 diabetesType 2 diabetes has clear-cut risk factors. “If one has a family history of diabetes or obesity, then they are quite likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Also, if one leads a very sedentary lifestyle, puts on weight, and has associated conditions like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and increased body weight, they are likely to develop type 2 diabetes. So, there are people who live in what we call a diabetogenic environment. This is an environment where an individual’s propensity to develop diabetes comes out,” Dr Kumar explained.“If one eats a lot of junk food, and high-calorie food which they should not be consuming, and leads a very sedentary life and has put on weight, they are likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes. If one has a family history of type 2 diabetes, then they are quite likely to develop the condition. On the other hand, if the same individual, despite having a family history of type 2 diabetes, takes care of his diet, exercises regularly, and ensures he or she does not put on weight, then the person can actually prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. So, these are all clear-cut risk factors,” Dr Kumar added.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.

Representational Image. ( Image Source : Getty )An official stated that at least 16 pupils from a civic-run school in Mumbai's Govandi neighbourhood were hospitalised on Friday after becoming unwell from suspected food poisoning, news agency PTI reported. Around 9.45 a.m., students in Classes 6 and 7 at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's school in Anik village were fed their mid-day meal. After half an hour, several of them complained of stomach aches, he claimed."Nine boys and seven girls were admitted to the BMC's Shatabdi Hospital. They are undergoing treatment and their condition is stable," he was quoted by PTI in its report.According to the official, the Maharashtra Food and Drugs Administration gathered samples of the noon meal and submitted them to a forensic laboratory.In a similar incident in August, as many as 70 pupils were ill after ingesting mid-day meals at a government school in New Delhi. Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya School Durgapark, Sagarpur, reported the incident. After consuming soya milk during the mid-day meal, pupils' health began to deteriorate. Following that, they were rushed to the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital.

Bacteria (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli), viruses (e.g., Norovirus, Hepatitis A), parasites, or poisons can all cause it. It's important to note that food poisoning is generally caused by eating contaminated food. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea are the most frequent symptoms of food poisoning.The majority of food poisoning is caused by one of three principal agents: bacteria, parasites, or viruses. These infections can be found on practically all foods consumed by humans. Heat from cooking, on the other hand, normally eliminates microorganisms on food before it reaches our plate. Because raw foods do not go through the cooking process, they are typical causes of food illness. Delhi: 'Blast' Near Israel Embassy Puts Police On High Alert.

Raj Kundra is apparently planning to work on a film about the alleged pornography case. ( Image Source : Instagram (theshilpashetty/urf7i) )New Delhi: Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra recently ran into Uorfi Javed. Kundra is famous for making public appearances while wearing a mask over his face. The paparazzi has gotten used to seeing him like this, but on Tuesday Uorfi's dress also hid her face during their encounter.Uorfi spotted leaving a venue as Raj entered one, and they both greeted each other as they did so. However, the two refused the paparazzi's request for them to take a photo together. Netizens loved the coincidence of Raj Kundra and Uorfi Javed's similar attire despite the fact that they didn't pose together.Raj Kundra recently made his stand-up comedy debut, and in one of his gags, he made a nod to Uorfi's wardrobe. Uorfi, however, did not take this well and slammed him in a post on her Instagram stories.Made in Heaven season 3 ♥️, ft: @onlyrajkundra and @uorfi_ #rajkundra #urfi #uorfijaved #urfijaved #ShilpaShetty pic.twitter.com/XjAPqhH1PS“Agar mujhe kisi ne pyaar kia hai na pichle do saal mein, toh woh hai paparazzi.

An investigation into galaxies that existed 500 to 850 million years after the Big Bang found that early galaxies were very good at creating bright, massive stars which pumped out ultraviolet light.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 06 Jun 2023 10:54 PM (IST)
The world's most powerful space telescope, also called Webb, has captured an image which shows 45,000 galaxies at the same time, and has helped scientists decode interesting mysteries and secrets of the early universe and stars. ( Image Source : NASA/ESA/CSA )James Webb Space Telescope has been surprising the world with its jaw-dropping images since July last year. Now, the world's most powerful space telescope, also called Webb, has captured an image which shows 45,000 galaxies at the same time, and has helped scientists decode interesting mysteries and secrets of the early universe and stars. The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), which is one of the largest programmes in Webb's first year of science, and will use at least 32 days of telescope time to discover and characterise faint, distant galaxies, has already discovered hundreds of galaxies that existed in the early universe, when it was 600 million years old. The JADES team has also found galaxies which were bubbling with young, hot stars. In a NASA statement, Marcia Rieke, co-lead of the JADES Program, said with this survey, astronomers want to answer questions such as how the earliest galaxies assembled themselves, how fast they formed stars, and why some galaxies stop forming stars. ALSO READ | Robot Chef Prepares Dishes After Learning From Videos. WATCHAn investigation into galaxies that existed 500 to 850 million years after the Big Bang, a time known as the Epoch of Reionization, found that early galaxies were very good at creating bright, massive stars which pumped out torrents of ultraviolet light. The Epoch of Reionization was an era which occurred more than 13 billion years ago, when the gas between galaxies was opaque to energetic light, making it difficult to observe young galaxies. Then, some unknown events caused the fog to clear and the universe to become completely ionised, or transparent, which is why astronomers mostly find "clear" conditions in much of the universe today. This phenomenon of disappearance of the universe's fog is called reionization. It is not yet clear whether galaxies full of hot, young stars, or active, supermassive black holes were the primary reasons behind reionization. The investigation was led by Ryan Endsley of the University of Texas at Austin. Endsley and his colleagues studied galaxies as part of the JADES program, using Webb's Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) instrument. They used the instrument to search for signatures of star formation, and found hot, young stars in abundance. In the NASA statement, Endsley said almost every single galaxy from the early universe they found using NIRSpec shows unusually strong emission line signatures which indicate intense recent star formation. According to NASA, the torrents of ultraviolet light pumped out by bright, massive stars transformed the gas from opaque to transparent by ionising the atoms, or removing electrons from their nuclei. The early galaxies had a large population of hot, massive stars, and these may have been the primary driver of the reionization process. Later on, the electrons and nuclei reunited, and this produced the strong emission lines observed by NIRSpec.There were some periods when the young galaxies rapidly formed stars, and some quiet periods when fewer stars were formed, the investigation found. Since the galaxies had to capture huge clusters of gaseous raw materials to form stars, it is likely that the quieter periods occurred during the preparation phases. Another reason behind the quieter phases could have been the fact that massive stars quickly explode, because of which they are likely to have injected energy into the surrounding environment periodically, and the energy may have prevented gas from condensing to form new stars. Not only is the JADES Program searching for early galaxies with young stars that existed 500 to 859 million years after the Big Bang, but also looking for galaxies that existed when the universe was less than 400 million years old. The aim is to explore how star formation in the early years after the Big Bang was different from the process seen in current times.Due to the expansion of the universe, the light from faraway galaxies is stretched to longer wavelengths and redder colours in a phenomenon known as redshift. Astronomers can determine how far away a galaxy is by measuring its redshift. With the help of the JADES Program, astronomers have discovered about a thousand extremely distant galaxies. As part of a JADES investigation, Kevin Hainline of the University of Arizona in Tucson and his colleagues identified more than 700 candidate galaxies that existed when the universe was between 370 million and 650 million years old, using Webb's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam).How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Rahul Gandhi met some wrestlers in Haryana's Jhajjar district on Wednesday.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 10:11 AM (IST)
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with wrestler Bajrang Punia and other wrestlers at Chhara village, in Jhajjar district. ( Image Source : PTI )Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who met some wrestlers in Haryana's Jhajjar district on Wednesday, shared a video of his interaction on Thursday. During his interactions with the grapplers, the Wayanad MP discussed the issue pertaining to their demand for action against Singh who has been accused of sexual harassment and wrestler Bajrang Punia's announcement of returning his Padma Shri award.During his visit to the 'akhara', Gandhi alo tried his hand at wrestling. Sharing the around-seven-minute-long video clip on X, the Congress leader said, "Misbehaving with talented daughters of the country, betrayal of sportspersons who made the country proud, what kind of tradition is the BJP setting? Dignity and respect, that is all India's wrestlers ask for."अब होगा ‘न्याय का दंगल’!भारत की होनहार बेटियों के साथ दुर्व्यवहार, देश का गौरव बढ़ाने वाले खिलाड़ियों को धोखा - BJP क्या ये विरासत दे रही है देश को।स्वाभिमान और सम्मान - भारत के पहलवानों की बस इतनी सी मांग है। pic.twitter.com/pFveDY6bb9
Last week, Punia announced returning his Padma Shri award in protest against the election of Sanjay Singh, a loyalist of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, as the president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). On Tuesday, Vinesh Phogat also decided to return her Arjuna Award and Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna.In the video, Punia can be heard saying that if the sisters and daughters are not safe, then what will he do with the awards."I didn't feel like keeping it. If our sisters and daughters are not safe, what will I do with the awards... Wrestling has given us everything. If its future is not safe, there is no point," Punia said. Punia and coach Arya Virendra Dalal said that the voice against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was raised in 2012 and 2014 as well, but no action was taken then."No one had the courage to raise a voice against Brij Bhushan Singh. Our sisters had that courage," Punia said during his interaction with Gandhi. One of the young wrestlers was heard saying that they wanted Sanjay Singh's removal as WFI chief to ensure that their future is safe.

The future of museums is bright, and AI is a key player in preserving and interpreting cultural heritage for generations to come.Enhancing Visitor ExperienceMaking Museums Accessible To AllAllows Data Collection For Present And Future Aiding Museum Design And Reconstruction Giving A Voice To All Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Saurav Bhaik | Updated at : 16 May 2023 03:03 PM (IST)
Visitors check out a service robot at the Museum of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Architecture in Beijing. ( Image Source : Getty )Have you ever wondered why the majority of the Indian population seems to prefer visiting shopping malls and arcades over museums? While museums often top the list of best places to visit in Europe, they may not enjoy the same popularity in India. Despite being home to a wealth of cultural treasures, museums in India often struggle to attract visitors and stay relevant in the digital age. That's where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in. With its power to transform museum exhibits into dynamic, interactive experiences, AI is no longer an option but a necessity for museums looking to meet the evolving expectations of ‘New’ India. From bringing art and history to life in exciting new ways to creating personalised experiences for visitors, the possibilities are endless.ALSO READ: Bus Ride Through Time: How 'Rohtang' VR Project Plans To Tap Into India’s 'Soft Power'Outlined below are key facets that showcase the indispensability of AI in museums:AI has revolutionised the way museums offer a personalised experience to their visitors, enhancing customer satisfaction and engagement. By analyzing visitor behaviour and preferences, AI can help create a custom route map for the audio guide software, enabling visitors to explore the museum in a way that suits them. This personalised approach ensures that visitors are able to make the most of their museum experience by focusing on the exhibits that interest them the most, without feeling overwhelmed or rushed.In addition, virtual assistants and chatbots powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) offer visitors real-time information about exhibits based on their location within the museum. These tools provide personalised recommendations, answer questions, and enhance visitors' understanding and appreciation of the exhibits. Information collected through AI-powered tools can also be used to improve exhibit curation and design, helping museums better understand their visitors' interests and preferences.AI has the incredible potential to revolutionise accessibility and inclusion in museums. By utilising advanced technologies like image recognition, facial recognition, lip-reading recognition, and text summarisation, AI can break down barriers that hinder individuals with special abilities from fully enjoying museum exhibits. For example, real-time captioning or translations can be provided to visitors who don't speak the language, making museums accessible to people from different states or even countries. This is made possible through the integration of multiple language-based APIs into the museum's audio guide software, allowing visitors to engage with exhibits comfortably in their preferred language. AI has the ability to extract individual elements from digital object records with a speed that would take humans ages to generate. AI algorithms can then process this data and generate data visualisations of all the object dimensions. This not only makes it easier for museums to manage their collections but also provides new ways for visitors to interact with them. It also brings ease to traditional data analysis including audience segmentation, visitation predictions, market research to target prospective members, and visitor experience evaluation. This brings new possibilities in the examination of these existing datasets and facilitates the gathering of new data for further exhibits.AI can be used to enhance the reconstruction of damaged or lost artifacts, by analyzing historical records, photographs, and other data to create accurate and detailed digital models. This enables museums to recreate and display priceless artifacts and works of art that might have otherwise been lost to history, offering visitors a chance to experience them in stunning detail. By leveraging AI in museum design and reconstruction, cultural institutions can preserve and present history and culture in new and innovative ways, engaging and inspiring visitors like never before. AI also aids in the creation of "time-gap" pictures, which show visitors how historical figures might have looked at different ages, or how they may have aged. AI holds great potential in assisting government bodies with policy-making by mapping visitor behaviour. For instance, the exhibit titled "Vision of India 2047" at the Pradhanmantri Sanghralaya in New Delhi is a prime example of how AI can be leveraged to map visitor aspirations and help in drafting policies that align with citizen needs, making governance more effective and responsive. Through AI-powered tools, the government can analyze the large amounts of data collected from visitors and gain valuable insights into their thoughts and ideas. With AI, museums have become more than just a place to admire art and history; they have become a critical tool in shaping the future of the nation, promoting inclusivity by creating a platform for people from diverse backgrounds to participate in the decision-making process.In conclusion, the integration of AI in museums marks a turning point in the way we interact with cultural institutions. With its potential to revolutionise the museum experience, AI offers the opportunity to create exhibits that are not only informative but also deeply engaging and immersive. By embracing the latest technological advancements, museums can keep pace with the dynamic and technologically progressive society we live in, meeting the evolving expectations of visitors and remaining relevant in the digital age. The future of museums is bright, and AI is a key player in preserving and interpreting cultural heritage for generations to come.(The author is the Founder and CEO of Tagbin, a tech-experiential company that specialises in creating unique and unforgettable experiences)Disclaimer: The opinions, beliefs, and views expressed by the various authors and forum participants on this website are personal and do not reflect the opinions, beliefs, and views of ABP Network Pvt.

Healthy collagen levels in collagen-containing cells make them appear robust and youthful. Continue reading to learn how to improve it.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 28 Nov 2022 07:11 PM (IST)
Tips To Boost Collagen Level In Your Skin ( Image Source : Getty )Collagen is the protein that the body uses the most. In addition to other sites, it may be found in tendons, fat, and ligaments. In addition to being essential to the stability of our bone structure, it aids in the fit of the various parts of our body. Healthy collagen levels provide collagen-containing cells with a robust, young look.Collagen is unique in that encouraging its growth has a cascading effect. The more collagen you have, the more your body can generate and keep it. According to Dr Saru Singh, Aesthetic Physician, here's how you may encourage your body to produce collagen naturally:Hyaluronic acid is synthesized with the help of vitamin C. Hyaluronic acid has received praise for shortening healing times and easing aching joints. Your body won't benefit fully from meals that contain hyaluronic acid if you don't consume enough vitamin C. According to Dr. Saru, a Skin doctor and Aesthetic Physician, hyaluronic acid may aid in increasing the body's synthesis of collagen. Although hyaluronic acid is created by the body naturally, it declines with age. Both hyaluronic acid and collagen, which are critical for healthy skin, may be found in higher concentrations in the body when diets high in vitamin C and amino acids are consumed. Oranges, red peppers, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, and other foods are all high in vitamin C.Consuming a diet high in protein-rich meals, whether they come from animal or plant sources, will help meet your needs for these essential amino acids. Copper, vitamin C, and zinc are other minerals that help with the formation of collagen. Thus, supple skin is a buddy of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals. The amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are used to form collagen, are found in several high-protein diets, and this is thought to encourage collagen synthesis. They consist of soy, dairy, legumes, meat, poultry, fish, and eggs.A skin care technique with little to no damage is microneedling. The top layer of your skin is punctured by your healthcare practitioner using delicate needles. Your skin creates more collagen and elastin as a result of the injury because it is stimulated to mend. These proteins maintain the firmness and radiance of your skin.Laser energy devices today are revolutionizing the world of beauty. It's amazing to say how technology can help us look our best selves. There are very good quality lasers available today that not only help in collagen induction but also help with common issues like acne, rosacea, dark marks, and pigmentations. Talk to your skincare expert and get the best plan made for you for longer and better results. There are also a lot of unnecessary stigmas attached to lasers which I feel must be cleared. One can truly benefit from this technology.Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that are present in some foods. They can help to control the skin's oil production, enhance balanced hydration, control acne, and lessen the appearance of aging. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids can soothe dry, chapped skin and relieve itching and dermatitis.Lights, Camera, Virality!

Marsh struck a blazing century in Leeds to guarantee his spot, leaving Murphy as the fall guy with Green coming back into the side to give captain Pat Cummins five pace bowling options.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: IANS | Updated at : 19 Jul 2023 08:05 AM (IST)
Pat Cummins in action. ( Image Source : Getty )Old Trafford (Manchester), July 18 (IANS) Fast-bowling all-rounder Cameron Green and pace Josh Hazlewood made their return as Australia announced their Playing XI for the fourth match of the ongoing Ashes 2023 series, with visitors to go into a Test without a specialist spinner for the first time in over a decade.Scott Boland and Todd Murphy make way for Green and Hazlewood from the side that lost by three wickets at Headingley. Fit-again Green, who missed the Leeds Test with a hamstring injury, has been listed to bat at seven, behind Mitch Marsh at No.6, with wicketkeeper Alex Carey to come in at No.8 as the Aussies rejigged the balance of their side to squeeze in their two all-rounders.Marsh struck a blazing century in Leeds to guarantee his spot, leaving Murphy as the fall guy with Green coming back into the side to give captain Pat Cummins five pace bowling options. Skipper Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will lead the pace pack with Marsh and Green doing the support job. Part-time spinners are available in the squad in the form of Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head.Meanwhile, David Warner has been retained despite speculation over the opener's position after being dismissed for single-figures in both innings by his nemesis Stuart Broad in the third Test."Davey didn't have his best game last week at Headingley, but prior to that, he has looked really good. He has had three 50-run (opening) partnerships, which can be rare in England," said Cummins.Australia have not gone into a Test without a specialist spinner since January 2012 when they played India at the WACA with four specialist seamers, which came before Nathan Lyon had truly established himself in the side. With Lyon now out of this series with a calf injury, Australia are again at a point where their spinner is not an automatic pick.Murphy, who played four Tests against India earlier this year alongside Lyon, held his own on Ashes debut at Headingley as he dismissed Stokes in the first innings before only being given two overs in the second. While Cummins said that Australia were excited about Murphy, he pointed out that the 22-year-old isn't exactly a like-for-like to Nathan Lyon."Nathan Lyon is the greatest off spinner we've ever had so it's not quite apples for apples. We are really excited by Todd, we think he's fantastic. I would have loved to use him a bit more last week, (but) conditions just favoured pace bowling," said the 30-year-old skipper."We played a Test in Hobart last year in the Ashes where Nath didn't bowl an over. It's all condition based. We are really excited by Todd, we think he's a gun, we love having him around, he's got a big future. It was more conditions the way I used him, as opposed to how he bowled," he added.Meanwhile, England too have confirmed their XI for the fourth Test with James Anderson set to return for Ollie Robinson in the only change from the winning team that played at Headingley last week.Australia XI for the fourth Test: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (c), Josh HazlewoodEngland XI for fourth Test: Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Moeen Ali, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jonny Bairstow (wk), Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Stuart Broad, James Anderson(This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

The Court of Appeal of Qatar has reduced the death sentence given to the eight retired Indian Navy officers days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Emir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al ThaniRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: Nayanima Basu | Updated at : 28 Dec 2023 03:54 PM (IST)
The Court of Appeal of Qatar has dropped the death sentence given to the eight retired Indian Navy officers who are currently imprisoned there on charges of espionage, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Qatar’s Emir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on the margins of the COP28 meet in Dubai.New Delhi: The Court of Appeal of Qatar has dropped the death sentence given to the eight retired Indian Navy officers who are currently imprisoned there on charges of espionage, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on the margins of the COP28 meeting in Dubai.“We have noted the verdict today of the Court of Appeal of Qatar in the Dahra Global case, in which the sentences have been reduced. The detailed judgement is awaited. We are in close touch with the legal team as well as the family members to decide on the next steps,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a press release Thursday.It said, “Our Ambassador to Qatar and other officials were present in the Court of Appeal today, along with the family members. We have stood by them since the beginning of the matter and we will continue to extend all consular and legal assistance. We will also continue to take up the matter with the Qatari authorities.”The MEA added, “Due to the confidential and sensitive nature of proceedings of this case, it would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this juncture.”The death sentence was handed out to the eight ex-Indian Navy personnel on October 26, 2023. They were arrested in August 2022. The former Navy officials were working with a private firm there named Al Dahra Global Technologies and Consultancy Services, headquartered in Doha.This comes after Prime Minister Modi met the Emir on December 2 in which he raised the issue of the death sentence handed to the eight Navy veterans as New Delhi has urged Doha to halt the death penalty.ABP Live had reported first that Modi would be discussing the issue with the Qatari Emir and requesting him to reduce the sentence.So far there have been three hearings in Qatar's Court of Appeal – 23 November, 30 November and 7 December. In the meantime, Ambassador Vipul got consular access to the navy officers, Arindam Bagchi, the outgoing spokesperson of the External Affairs Ministry said last week.The eight navy veterans — Captain Navtej Singh Gill, Captain Birendra Kumar Verma, Captain Saurabh Vasisht, Commander Amit Nagpal, Commander Purnendu Tiwari, Commander Sugunakar Pakala, Commander Sanjeev Gupta, and Sailor Ragesh — were arrested in August 2022 on charges of espionage on behalf of Israel, providing it with sensitive information regarding Qatar’s military submarine programme.The Qatari authorities had rejected their bail pleas several times while extending their detention.Commander Tiwari (retd.) was working as the Managing Director for Al Dahra Global Technologies and Consultancy Services before being arrested. He has been a decorated Navy officer who has commanded several warships of the Indian Navy. He had even received the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman in 2019.After the death sentence was handed down, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met the family members of the veterans and assured them of the government’s efforts to bring relief to them.PM Modi To Visit Ayodhya On Dec 30, To Unveil Infrastructure Projects Worth Over Rs 11,000 CroreParliament Security Breach: Delhi Cops Seek Court's Nod For Polygraph Test On Accused'If Sangh Govt Remains In Power...': Congress Sounds Lok Sabha Poll Bugle At Nagpur RallyBreaking News Live: 6-Year-Old Boy Found Dead Behind House In UP Village'Congress To Conduct Caste Census Once Elected To Power': Rahul Gandhi On Foundation DayPriyanka Gandhi Named By ED In Money Laundering CaseBeyond Controversy: A Deeper Look At 'Animal' & The Collective ShadowDMDK Chief Vijayakanth Passes Away, Was On Ventilator Support After Testing Covid PositiveElon Musk's Grok AI Is Now Available In India At Nearly Double The Price Of ChatGPT PlusIND vs SA 1st Test LIVE: South Africa End Their First Innings On 408/9 This website uses cookies or similar technologies, to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalised recommendations.

The flood situation in the state is unlikely to improve soon as the weather has predicted more rains in the region in the next few days.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Pallav Bora | Updated at : 14 Aug 2023 06:50 PM (IST)
The flood waters continue to inundate over 5,743 hectares of cropland across affected districts in Assam. ( Image Source : Pallav Bora )Guwahati: The flood situation in Assam continued to remain grim on Monday with two more people losing their lives and over 65,000 people still being affected due to the deluge. A total of 316 villages across eight districts; Dhemaji, Sivasagar, Chirang, Darrang, Dibrugarh, Golaghat, Kokrajhar, and Sonitpur are still reeling under flood waters. Both deaths due to drowning were reported from the state’s Sonitpur district, taking the total number of deaths in floods this year to 14.The flood situation has however improved marginally in some districts as the major rivers showed a receding trend though rivers Brahmaputra, Beki, and Disang continue to flow above the danger mark at Barpeta, Sivasagar, Tezpur, and Jorhat districts. Dhemaji continues to be the worst-affected district where 31,087 people are still suffering, followed by Sivasagar with 29,383 people still facing severe difficulties due to the floods. The district authorities have set up 27 relief camps across the affected districts where as many as 1,329 people are being provided shelter. nortRelief materials are being distributed to the flood-affected people through 20 relief distribution centres. The flood waters continue to inundate over 5,743 hectares of cropland across the affected districts.The floods have also affected a total of 22,889 domestic animals and poultry, besides damaging hundreds of houses, roads, bridges, culverts, irrigation canals, and embankments. Major roads have been damaged due to floods in Jorhat’s Teok, Chirang’s Bijni, and Sonitpur’s Chariduar while several embankments have been breached at Nazira in Sivasagar district.Assam witnessed one of the worst-ever floods in 2022 as over 88 lakh population was affected and 181 people lost their lives.Almost all of the then 35 districts, before the merger of a few districts of the state, were ravaged by the floods with people being forced to take refuge on the National Highways.According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), a total of 838 people died in the floods in the state during 2013-2022, of whom 181 died in 2021, which is the highest human death toll in floods in a year.The flood situation in the state is unlikely to improve soon as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more rains in the region in the next few days.Subscribe And Follow ABP Live On Telegram: https://t.me/officialabpliveULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam GovtMizoram Govt Grants Consent To CBI For Probes, CM Says 'Govt Resolute In Eliminating Corruption'Centre, Assam Govt Likely To Sign Peace Accord With ULFA's Pro-Talks Faction On FridayAfter Multiple Blasts In Assam, Security Forces Arrest 2 ULFA Militants In TinsukiaTribal Woman, Mother Of 3, Burnt To Death Over Witchcraft Suspicion In AssamShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: ReportIndia Has Sent Extradition Request For 26/11 Attack Mastermind Hafiz Saeed: MEACovid-19 LIVE: India Logs 797 New Cases, Highest In 225 Days'BJP To Offer Narendra Modi As Hindu Hriday Samrat': Shashi Tharoor's 2024 LS Poll PredictionIndia Not Part Of Any Multilateral Initiative On Read Sea, Says MEA/body>

European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans, embracing implementation, said: "The EU stands ready to update our NDC reflecting this higher ambition."Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: IANS | Updated at : 15 Nov 2022 11:04 PM (IST)
COP27: European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference ( Image Source : Getty )Sharm El-Sheikh (Egypt), Nov 15 (IANS) At the UN climate summit, European Commission Vice President Franz Timmermans on Tuesday announced that the EU is ready to update its climate target for 2030, with a new Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) that climbs two points -- from 55 to 57 per cent, which, despite showing a modest improvement, would still not be in line with what the bloc's equitable contribution to the Paris Agreement should be: at least 65 per cent emission cuts.Timmermans, embracing implementation, said: "The EU stands ready to update our NDC reflecting this higher ambition."However, CAN Europe, supported by strong scientific evidence, has for long asked the EU to honour the Paris Agreement with at least 65 per cent emissions reductions and removals accounted additionally and separately.This goal is not utopian and contributes fairly to limiting temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius, as the EU has historically emitted much more greenhouse gases compared to many countries in the Global South, that are the most impacted by a problem they have little contributed to create."The climate emergency we are in doesn't deserve breadcrumbing from the EU. The two points increase from 55 to 57 per cent on the EU's commitment to reducing net emissions by 2030 is far from the dearly needed at least 65 per cent, which is the minimum equitable share that the EU should commit to globally limiting temperature to the 1.5-degree threshold that means at least smaller harm for people on this planet than overrunning it," said Chiara Martinelli, Director at CAN Europe."This small increase announced today at COP27 doesn't do justice to the calls from the most vulnerable countries at the frontlines. If the EU, with a heavy history of emitting greenhouse gases, doesn't lead on mitigating climate change, who will?"The EU showing it is committed to deliver and reduce more our greenhouse gas emissions is a positive sign. But one can't really present oneself as a top student when the stakes are too low. We need much higher ambition. That could also inspire other countries to step for the mitigation work programme which governments are expected to adopt at COP27 and to implement from 2023 onwards," said Sven Harmeling, International Climate Policy Expert at CAN Europe.The announcement at COP27 comes after the EU passed three important pieces of climate legislation in the past two weeks, included in the 'Fit for 55', a package that aims to bring the EU to 55 per cent net emissions reductions by 2030.After the trilogue negotiations of the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR, cuts at national level), the LULUCF (carbon sink) and the CO2 standards for cars, and before other legislative proposals are agreed in the coming weeks, the EU Commission considered it is doable to achieve 57 per cent.If the EU is serious about cutting emissions, the Commission should feel the pressure to phase out fossil fuels subsidies by 2025 and ensure that a strong language on that is included in the COP's cover text or political declaration.Precisely because of the current fossil fueled war in Ukraine, which made more evident than ever the need to move away from fossil fuels and their imports, there is no time to delay calling out the villains and acting on the root-cause: fossil fuels and the governments supporting them.The EU's recent and coming announcements with countries in Africa to expand gas infrastructure are deeply disturbing and cynical, against global climate action and taking the energy colonialism road.At the same time, the EU needs to increase its energy targets for 2030, an essential tool that can make the bloc reach higher climate targets and wean itself of fossil fuel dependence.Two pieces of legislation are currently being discussed and CAN Europe urges co-legislators to take higher energy targets into account during the current trilogue discussions on the Renewables and energy efficiency, namely an EU binding energy efficiency target of at least 20 per cent (compared to the EU Reference Scenario 2020) and a renewable energy target of at least 50 per cent by 2030.Catastrophic climate change is happening more rapidly and with greater intensity than their grimmest warnings.--IANSvg/pgh(This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Chhattisgarh Election 2023: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth Rs 26,000 cr in Chhattisgarh.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 03 Oct 2023 02:11 PM (IST)
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. ( Image Source : PTI )Chhattisgarh Assembly 2023: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday dedicated to the nation and laid the foundation stones of several projects worth over Rs 26,000 crore, including the NMDC's steel plant, at Jagdalpur city in poll-bound Chhattisgarh. It is the fourth visit of the PM to the state in the last two-and-half months, where assembly elections are due by this year-end. PM Modi also flagged off the Tadoki-Raipur rail service in Jagdalpur.Addressing a rally here, the Prime Minister launched a scathing attack at Congress and said, "The entire country is watching the condition of Chhattisgarh that the Congress has done in the last five years. Corruption is rampant all across the state. Chhattisgarh is among the leading states in terms of killings. It seems like Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan are competing with each other over more murders, loots and crimes against women.VIDEO | "In Chhattisgarh, development is visible either on posters and banners, or in the coffers of Congress leaders," says PM Modi in Jagdalpur. pic.twitter.com/qAcSPgmaZF
"In Chhattisgarh, development is visible either on posters and banners, or in the coffers of Congress leaders...Corruption and crime are at their peak in Chhattisgarh; the state is competing with Rajasthan on these two fronts," the Prime Minister said.Intensifying his attack, he said, "Congress has made 'Loktantra' as 'loottantra' and 'prajatantra' as 'Parivartantra'..."#WATCH | Chhattisgarh: At Bastar's Jagdalpur PM Modi says, "Congress has made 'Loktantra' as 'loottantra' and 'prajatantra' as 'Parivartantra'..." pic.twitter.com/DZykmRrkBa
The Prime Minister also took a swipe at the party over its demand for a caste census in the country. Recalling former PM Manmohan Singh's statement that 'minorities have first right to country's resources, Modi asked if the Congress wants to decrease the rights of the minority."Since yesterday, Congress leaders are saying 'jitni aabadi utna haq'... I was wondering what the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would be thinking. He used to say that the minority has the first right to the country's resources... But now Congress is saying that the population of the community will decide who will have the first right to the country's resources... So now do they (Congress) want to decrease the rights of the minority?" he said.#WATCH | Chhattisgarh: At Bastar's Jagdalpur PM Modi says, "Since yesterday, Congress leaders are saying 'jitni aabadi utna haq'...

So, should the Hindus, who have the largest population, come forward and take all their rights?... I am repeating Congress party is no longer being run by Congress people. Senior leaders of Congress are sitting with their mouths shut, neither are they asked, nor do they dare to speak after seeing all this. Now Congress has been outsourced...." the PM said. Addressing a 'Parivartan Mahasankalp' rally of the BJP earlier, the PM said that the vision of developed India will be fulfilled when every corner of the country will be developed. "...Today multiple development projects worth more than Rs 27,000 crore have been inaugurated here..." the PM added.#WATCH | Chhattisgarh: At Bastar's Jagdalpur PM Modi says, "The vision of developed India will be fulfilled when every corner of the country will be developed...

He said that physical, digital and social infrastructure should be in accordance with the future needs to ensure a developed India. "This is the reason why our government has, in the last nine years, increased the expenditure on infrastructure to Rs 10 lakh core" PM Modi added.VIDEO | "Physical, digital and social infrastructure should be in accordance within the future needs to ensure a developed India.

The Prime Minister also said that the rail budget of Chhattisgarh has been increased by nearly 20 times as compared to 2014."In the state after the electrification of the railway network, Vande Bharat train is also being operated....In the upcoming years, all the stations of the state will be developed and transformed by the Central government..." he added.Incidentally, the Congress has called for a 'bandh' (shutdown) in the region during the PM's visit alleging that his government wants to privatise the steel plant, as per PTI. 2024 Lok Sabha Polls: BJP To Give TMC A Tough Fight In Bengal?

World Cup semifinal qualification scenarios: Pakistan remain in contention for the semi-finals, but they need to beat England in their final match and rely on result of the NZ vs SL WC match.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 05 Nov 2023 01:56 PM (IST)
ODI World Cup Semifinal Qualification Scenarios: A closer look at what to expect in the remainder of ODI World Cup 2023 tournament. ( Image Source : PTI )ODI World Cup Semifinal Qualification Scenarios: In the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, Pakistan, after four consecutive losses, found themselves on the verge of elimination. Their survival in the tournament hinged on a crucial seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh, but even then, they needed a miracle to advance to the semi-finals. The situation appeared even more dire when New Zealand posted a massive total of 401/6 at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the first game of a Saturday's double-header. This extraordinary total was achieved primarily due to Rachin Ravindra's 94-ball 108 and the return of skipper Kane Williamson, who contributed a 79-ball 95. Pakistan's chase got off to a rocky start, losing their first wicket with just six runs on the board.However, opener Fakhar Zaman and captain Babar Azam refused to give up. They went on to establish one of the most memorable partnerships in recent memory. Fakhar Zaman delivered a blistering 63-ball century, which stands as Pakistan's fastest in World Cup history, ultimately remaining unbeaten on 126.Babar Azam provided valuable support, staying unbeaten on 66, and together, they built an unbroken partnership of 194 runs for the second wicket. This partnership allowed Pakistan to reach 200/1 after 25.3 overs before rain interrupted play, and no further action was possible.Since Pakistan's chase had surpassed the 20-over mark, the winner could be declared based on Net Run Rate. Pakistan was found to be 21 runs ahead of the par score, ensuring their continued participation in the 13th edition of the tournament.In the second match of the Saturday double-header, Australia defeated England by 33 runs at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium.Here's a closer look at what to expect in the remainder of ODI World Cup 2023 tournament:- South Africa have officially become the second team to qualify for the semi-finals following Pakistan's victory.- England have been officially eliminated from the semi-final race after their defeat against Australia, joining Bangladesh as teams knocked out of ODI World Cup 2023 tournament.- Pakistan remain in contention for the semi-finals, but they need to beat England in their final match and rely on the result of the New Zealand vs. Sri Lanka match. Pakistan will also hope that Afghanistan do not surpass them in the points table.- Despite four consecutive losses, New Zealand (+0.398) still hold an advantage over Pakistan (+0.036) in terms of Net Run Rate. A victory over Sri Lanka in their final group stage match should secure their spot, unless Pakistan can overtake them in NRR with a substantial victory over England.- Afghanistan needs significant victories over Australia and South Africa in their remaining matches to surpass Pakistan and New Zealand in NRR, provided those teams also win their matches.- Sri Lanka and Netherlands remain mathematically in the tournament's running, thanks to Pakistan's victory.IND vs SA 1st Test Highlights: India Finish Day 1 at 208/8 After Rain Abandoned Further PlayBBL 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 HappenedManipur to Mumbai: Eyes On 2024, Rahul To Lead 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' From Jan 14.

Siddaramaiah commended Rahul Gandhi for the Bharat Jodo Yatra and said that nobody had done something like that.

Now, he (Rahul Gandhi) is taking up the Bharat Jodo Yatra's second version - the Nyay Yatra.

Siddaramaiah urged a collective effort to bring the Congress party back to power, regardless of whether someone like Rahul Gandhi or Narendra Modi assumes leadership, emphasising the significance of unity and the party's return to governance. Ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha polls too, Siddaramaiah had pitched for Rahul Gandhi as PM.The Chief Minister remarked on the discourse around "soft Hindutva," clarifying that Hindutva is Hindutva, and he identifies as a Hindu. The CM highlighted the prevalent practices within Hinduism, citing examples of building Ram temples in villages, participating in Rama worship, and engaging in devotional singing (bhajans). "Hindutva is Hindutva. I'm an Hindu. Hindu and Hindutva are different...Haven't we built Ram temples in our villages? Don't we worship Rama and do bhajans?

The commission had previously announced that the MPhil degree programs offered by all universities would no longer hold legitimacy.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 27 Dec 2023 02:22 PM (IST)
The warning comes as many universities are offering the MPill degree despite the university body's cancellation. ( Image Source : twitter/@ugc_india )The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released a cautionary notification alerting students about certain universities still offering admissions to MPhil courses, even though the MPhil degree is no longer recognised. Despite the previous cancellation of this course by the university body, some institutions continue to invite fresh applications for MPhil programs.The commission previously stated that the legitimacy of MPhil degree courses across universities would be discontinued. Higher educational institutions were instructed to cease offering MPhil programs. Additionally, university officials have been urged to promptly halt admissions for the upcoming 2023-24 academic year for the MPhil program.Furthermore, universities were directed to halt admissions to the MPhil programme for the academic year 2023-24.

Senior Congress leader Sushil Kumar Shinde has said the seat sharing of the Maha Vikas Aghadi for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will be decided on merit.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 23 May 2023 02:30 PM (IST)
The Lok Sabha elections are due in 2024, and the Maharashtra Assembly polls are also due in the later part of next year. ( Image Source : PTI )Senior Congress leader Sushil Kumar Shinde has said the seat sharing of the Maha Vikas Aghadi for the Lok Sabha elections will be decided on merit. Earlier, it was reported that the Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders were contemplating the formation of a committee that would comprise two members from each of its parties to finalise candidates for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, as disclosed by Ajit Pawar, a leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).The MVA, consisting of the NCP, Congress, and Shiv Sena (UBT), has been motivated by the BJP's loss in the Karnataka Assembly polls and is now poised to jointly contest against the ruling party in Maharashtra during the upcoming national elections.“Each party will perhaps nominate two leaders to discuss Lok Sabha candidates. The three main parties will hold talks on a seat-sharing formula,” Pawar was quoted by PTI in its report. In the state, the BJP emerged victorious in 23 out of 48 Lok Sabha seats during the 2019 elections, while the previously united Shiv Sena secured 18 seats. The NCP emerged victorious in four seats while the Congress managed to secure only one.He stated that during the meeting, they reached an agreement on the locations for holding ‘Vajramooth’ rallies by MVA. Furthermore, he mentioned that there are speculations that Lok Sabha elections and state polls might happen simultaneously.According to the NCP state leader Jayant Patil, the 'Vajramooth' rallies of MVA have been suspended temporarily and will recommence when the intensity of summer diminishes.The recently concluded Karnataka elections saw the Congress securing 135 out of 224 seats, with the ruling BJP and Janata Dal (Secular) led by former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda securing 66 and 19 seats respectively.Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar has said he is not in the race to become prime minister and asserted the Opposition wants a leadership that would work for the betterment of the country. "I am putting efforts to get the Opposition together. I am not in the race to become the prime minister as I am not contesting the next (Lok Sabha) election," he told reporters.The Lok Sabha elections are due in 2024, and the Maharashtra Assembly polls are also due in the later part of next year.Amit Shah To Attend BJP Meeting In Telangana To Chalk Out Roadmap For 2024 PollsCongress To Kickstart 2024 LS Poll Campaign With Mega Rally Tomorrow In NagpurCongress Strategises For LS Polls Prior To Bihar Seat-Sharing Talks With RJD, JDU On Dec 29Will BJP's Alliance With JD(S) In Karnataka Boost Its 2024 LS Poll Prospects?

‘Animal’ serves as a case study on a neglected child growing up to become an adult with an underdeveloped psyche.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP Live | Updated at : 28 Dec 2023 04:54 PM (IST)
Ranbir Kapoor in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal.' ( Image Source : IMDb )By Debasmita ChatterjeeOut of the 32 films I watched in 2023, the one that resonated with me the most was ‘Animal’. If you're cringing already, allow me to explain. This film has not only shaken the Indian intelligentsia but has also deeply stirred me. If you're still with me, let's dive in.I want to talk about the most controversial aspect of this film. What is the message it carries? Does it glorify misogyny and toxic masculinity, or is it a celebration of hyper-masculinity? Every viewer seems to take away a different message, and that's the beauty of it. Here's my interpretation: ‘Animal’ serves as a case study on a neglected child growing up to become an adult with an underdeveloped psyche.To provide some context, I view films as expressions of collective consciousness. Some part of the consciousness, whether seen or unseen, finds expression in art. In the case of ‘Animal’, the film represents a manifestation of a collective shadow, pointing towards an impending paradigm shift. If all that feels gibberish to you, bear with me. If it’s going too deep, I can’t help. Depth is my middle name, feel free to skip if it’s not your thing.My feelings echo the words of the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung- “All art intuitively apprehends coming changes in the collective unconsciousness.” The paradigm shift, I perceive, revolves around the end of blind worship of our parents as superheroes and recognizing them as flawed human beings with their share of limitations. This extends beyond parents to anyone we put on a pedestal — teachers, authority figures, celebrities, romantic partners. We invest a significant portion of our lives protecting the image we put on the pedestal, only to find that many of them fail us.Psychologists would concur that this occurs when the brain, lacking a healthy parental figure in childhood, creates an image needed for a sense of safety. Most of us grew up with parents shaped by a dysfunctional culture and their traumas, substituting time, attention, and love with material possessions obtained through money. Just as overwatering can kill a plant, this substitution doesn't work. Unmet needs lead to specific emotional and coping mechanisms in a child.Watching closely, the protagonist of ‘Animal’, Rannvijay (portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor), prematurely lets go of his childhood, emulating his idea of an ideal adult. This abrupt transition stunts his natural development, creating a split in his psyche. One part clings to the fantasy that his father will see and appreciate him, while another part becomes invested in embodying the alpha male as per the child's understanding. Psychologists would call him a parentified child. Rannvijay grows up to be someone who feels deeply. When his ideals and boundaries are violated, he expresses his emotions intensely (no, I am not endorsing or justifying extreme actions like a massacre; consider incidents such as taking a gun to college to protect his sister as a metaphor). However, juxtaposed with these intense reactions, he also reveals himself as a caring partner. For instance, he actively supports and cares for his wife during childbirth. His character is layered – bringing a gun into the bedroom to express anger when his wife touches a psychic wound, yet in the very next moment, rushing to comfort the sleeping children in his arms, assuaging their fears.Rannvijay is outrageous yet rooted. He believes deeply in himself and his intelligence, strategizing for his goals. He may be wiser than his father, who never fully appreciates him.He has made peace with the sadness of not feeling seen by his father, stating that “Happiness is a decision”. However, the anger and rage make him fly to another country to avenge an attempt on his father's life, releasing pent-up violence. When Rannvijay slit Abrar’s throat, I remembered me slitting my wrist with similar ferocity in 2011. At that point, I did not know how to regulate my emotions, and the anger and pain of growing up with an emotionally absent, gaslighting parent was indeed overwhelming. Returning to his father, Rannvijay narrates the pain he has endured, finally letting go of grief. Now, he is anyway about to lose his father whom he tried too hard to protect. Trying to protect him is beyond his powers now. However, does this free his psyche from the fantasy of the "Hero" he clung to? We don't know, and perhaps the director doesn't have an answer either.In my eyes, the film's climax remains a poorly constructed part compared to the rest. Ideally, having freed up energy, Rannvijay would embark on a journey of individuation, manifesting the hero within his psyche. The child would parent himself from a space devoid of fragmentation, developing a healthy inner authority. Perhaps, Rannvijay would develop that through parenting his son, who knows? After all, the Rannvijay within our psyche is faced with a choice, particularly considering the acknowledgement of their repressed part on screen. Only at this juncture can we perceive the world through the eyes of an adult who no longer demands perfection from everything but takes what works for them and discards the rest. The uproar surrounding ‘Animal’ reveals that we are a nation full of adult children. Rannvijay's story resonates with those who have concealed their sensitive, unfulfilled child—those harbouring anger and rage from unhealthy parenting. Some could not bear seeing this depiction on screen, dissociating themselves and engaging in criticism. The triggered “woke” minds screamed "toxic" and "hypermasculine," but if observed closely, misogyny was present in Abrar's character, and his story might warrant another article.As for toxicity, ancient wisdom from Ayurveda suggests that excess of anything is toxic. As part of evolution, our collective consciousness has accumulated toxins, and witnessing them on screen makes the cleansing process easier for those willing to do so. In that way, it might be said that the film unintentionally serves as a tool of catharsis, potentially doing a significant service to the collective. However, it's essential to acknowledge that director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's primary intention was likely to tell a story and explore the theme of so-called toxic masculinity with honesty. While he has room to grow as a director, I hope that he continues refining his authentic voice. In an era dominated by streaming platforms, artificial intelligence-generated stories, and an internet overflowing with content, the real need isn't just for more narratives but for genuine voices. Authentic voices telling stories might give us, the doom-scrolling addicted collective the deep nourishment we are longing for.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrestles with Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia. ( Image Source : @RahulGandhi )New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited Virender Arya Akhada in Haryana's Jhajjar district and tried his hands at wrestling with Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia on Wednesday. His visit comes amid a fresh controversy over the election of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Sanjay Singh and the subsequent suspension of WFI after Singh announced hosting the U-15 and U-20 nationals by the end of this year.Sharing photos of his visit on X, Gandhi captioned it on the ongoing row and wrote in Hindi, “There is one question - if these players, the daughters of India, have to leave the fight in their arena and take to streets to fight for their rights and justice, then who will encourage their children to choose this path? These are innocent, straightforward and simple people from farmer families. Let them serve the tricolour. Let them make India proud with full honour and respect.”वर्षों की जीतोड़ मेहनत, धैर्य एवं अप्रतिम अनुशासन के साथ अपने खून और पसीने से मिट्टी को सींच कर एक खिलाड़ी अपने देश के लिए मेडल लाता है।आज झज्जर के छारा गांव में भाई विरेंद्र आर्य के अखाड़े पहुंच कर ओलंपिक पदक विजेता बजरंग पूनिया समेत अन्य पहलवान भाइयों के साथ चर्चा की। सवाल… pic.twitter.com/IeGOebvRl6
The photos show Rahul Gandhi and Bajranj Punia trying out some wrestling moves as the latter pins the Congress leader on the mat. Both are seen smiling as several people watch them.Speaking to news agency ANI, Punia said, “He came to see our wrestling routine...He did wrestling...He came to see the day-to-day activities of a wrestler.”A post shared by Congress (@incindia)
Notably, the grapplers who accused former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment were miffed over the election of Sanjay Singh, who is believed to be very close to Brij Bhushan. As a mark of protest, several wrestlers returned their awards. Sakshi Malik announced her retirement from wrestling, Vinesh Phogat said she would return her Khel Ratna and Arjuna Awardm while Bajrang Punia returned his Padma Shri.Breaking News Live: Massive Fire Breaks Out At House In MP's Khandwa Due To Gas Cylinder BlastUjjwala Gas Cylinder In Rajasthan Gets Rs 50 Price CutCovid-19 LIVE — 109 JN.1 Variant Cases Reported In Country Till December 26: ReportWho Is Masarat Alam, Whose Muslim League Faction Has Been Banned By CentreCovid Cases In India: Delhi Reports First JN.1 Variant InfectionRajnath Singh Urges Army To Avoid 'Mistakes', Assures Justice To Families Of Civilians Killed In PoonchMPhil Is Not A Recognised Degree, UGC Warns Students'Indo-Russian Ties Very Steady': Jaishankar-Lavrov Bilateral Talks Feature Political Cooperation, TradeMamata Banerjee To Skip Ram Temple Event On Jan 22: ReportShah Rukh Khan Says Dunki Hardest And The Most Demanding Film Among His 2023 Releases/body>

Vaccination limited to the persons with known exposure to the monkeypox virus may not be an effective strategy for preventing infection, the study suggests.How The Study Was ConductedFindingsRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 16 Aug 2022 09:00 PM (IST)
Scientists have detected the monkeypox virus in anal samples taken from asymptomatic men who have sex with men (MSM). This means that asymptomatic infection may be a cause for concern in the monkeypox outbreak, according to a new study. ( Image Source : Getty )Scientists have detected the monkeypox virus in anal samples taken from asymptomatic men who have sex with men (MSM). This means that asymptomatic infection may be a cause for concern in the monkeypox outbreak, according to a new study. Vaccination limited to the persons with known exposure to the monkeypox virus may not be an effective strategy for preventing infection, the findings suggest. The study describing the results was recently published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Researchers from Bichat-Claude Bernard Hospital, Paris, France, collected anorectal samples as part of a sexually transmitted infection screening programme, and tested them for monkeypox virus. According to French guidelines, this type of screening is performed every three months among MSM with multiple sexual partners who are either taking HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or living with HIV and receiving antiretroviral treatment. PrEP is a medicine people at risk for HIV take to prevent getting HIV from sex or injection drug use, and can stop HIV from taking hold and spreading throughout the body. So far, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two daily oral medications for PrEP, and a long-acting injectable form of PrEP.The first case of monkeypox virus infection was identified in France on May 19, 2022. After this, screening was halted in patients who had lesions suspicious for monkeypox virus. The study authors report on asymptomatic MSM who tested negative for N gonorrhoea and C trachomatis on monkeypox virus anal swabs collected at the Infectious Disease Department and the Sexual Health Clinic of Bichat-Claude Bernard Hospital, from June 5 to July 11, 2022. The median age of the 213 participants whose anal swabs were collected was 38 years. A total of 213 asymptomatic persons were screened as part of the study. The persons were negative for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Of these, 13 samples were PCR-positive for monkeypox virus. Later on, two of these persons developed symptoms for monkeypox. Of the 187 asymptomatic participants who tested negative for monkeypox virus, three presented to the authors' clinic more than three weeks after the initial monkeypox virus-negative anal swab with symptoms suggestive of monkeypox virus infection, and tested positive, the authors note. The study documents positive monkeypox virus PCR results from anal samples in asymptomatic MSM. However, it is not known whether this indicates viral shedding that can lead to transmission. The authors state that the practice of ring postexposure vaccination around symptomatic persons with probable or confirmed monkeypox may not be sufficient to contain the spread. Ring vaccination is a vaccine strategy in which the people who are most likely to be infected with a disease are vaccinated to inhibit the spread of the disease. The authors conclude that recent French recommendations have advised vaccination for all MSM with multiple partners. Scientists do not know yet whether or not asymptomatic infection will play a role in the transmission of monkeypox virus. However, the current worldwide monkeypox epidemic and the mode of human-to-human transmission may suggest that asymptomatic or preclinical spread can occur.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.

(Clockwise from left) Covid-19 Self Test Kits: Angcard (Photo: Angstrom Biotech); COVIFIND (Photo: merillife.com); Mylab CoviSelf (Photo: coviself.com); Abbott Panbio (Photo: amazon.com)New Delhi: When the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, getting to know if you are carrying the virus was a long process. The available test methods were all regulated by the government authorities, before private labs were allowed to do the tests. As the world grapples with the latest wave of the pandemic, it is now much easier to get an antigen test done — sitting at home, without even having to call anyone from a lab. Covid-19 self-testing kits have become handy, and there are at least seven brands that have received approval from the Indian Council of Medical Research. Six of these are nasal swab tests. The test kits are: Mylab Discovery’s Coviself (Pathocatch) COVID-19 OTC Antigen LF device, Abbott Rapid’s Panbio COVID-19 Antigen rapid test device, Meril Diagnostics’ CoviFind COVID-19 Rapid Antigen self test, Angstrom Biotech’s Angtech COVID-19 home test kit, Healgen Scientific Limited’s CliniTest COVID-19 Antigen self test, SD Biosensor Healthcare’s ULTRA Covi-Catch SARS-CoV-2 home test and Nulife Care’s AbCheck Rapid Antigen self test.A positive test result by the devices is considered accurate. But if symptomatic people get a negative result, ICMR advises them to get a RT-PCR test done. ICMR says RATs could miss a positive case presenting with a low viral load.The ICMR approves home testing kits if they have been validated in India, according to an official notification dated June 18, 2020.Moreover, domestic validation requirement of an ICMR test kit is not needed if it has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), WHO Emergency Use Listing (EUL) procedure, Japan’s Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) and Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).Manufacturers of these kits must make sure that each kit consists of the required material for sample collection, testing and disposal along with a usage instruction manual, interpretation and disposal of the test kit. The tests should be equipped with an inbuilt system of data storage using mobile apps or mobile phone-based softwares.The ICMR said in its notification that the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) may be approached for approval once the compatibility is ensured. In case the manufacturers do not have a system or are are unable to liase the data flow with ICMR, their test kits will be rejected by the apex medical research body. The requests from manufacturers who are not likely to be considered for marketing permission under the category of home-based testing solutions are also rejected. This self-test kit is based on nasal swabs. Avalable in two and three-pack sets, each kit contains a pre-filled buffer tube with cap, a sterile swab, a test device, an instructions manual and a disposal bag. User need to download the COVIFIND app, as mandated by ICMR, and fill in the required credentials after collecting samples.The credentials asked are full name, gender, date of birth in DD/MM/YYYY format, nationality, address, state name, disrtict name and mobile number.Price: A 2-pack set is available for Rs 487 on Amazon.Step-By-Step Guide This kit can be purchased from both Amazon or online Coviself store.

Both teams entered the Bangalore clash seeking to reverse their fortunes and secure a win to stay in contention for a semi-final spot in the 2023 ODI World Cup.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Oct 2023 10:54 PM (IST)
England had not managed to defeat Sri Lanka in the World Cup since the 1999 edition. ( Image Source : Getty )Sri Lanka extended their impressive winning streak against England since 2007, securing an 8-wicket victory in the 25th match of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 on Thursday, October 26, in Bangalore.Before this encounter at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, both teams had clashed in the World Cup on 11 occasions, with England holding a 6-5 advantage in the head-to-head record. However, England had not managed to defeat Sri Lanka in the World Cup since the 1999 edition, when they won by eight wickets. They didn't face off in the 2003 edition, and in 2007, Sri Lanka won the match by two runs. In 2011 and 2015, Sri Lanka secured comprehensive victories over England, winning by 10 and nine wickets, respectively.Both teams entered the Bangalore clash seeking to reverse their fortunes and secure a win to stay in contention for a semi-final spot in the 2023 ODI World Cup.England's captain, Jos Buttler, won the toss and opted to bat first. However, England's batting performance was dismal, as they were dismissed for a mere 156 runs in just 33.2 overs, marking the lowest all-out total ever recorded at the Chinnaswamy stadium. Ben Stokes was the only batsman to surpass 40 runs, but his wicket fell in the 31st over, effectively ending England's hopes of posting a competitive total. Except for Stokes and Jonny Bairstow, who scored 30 runs, none of the English batsmen could stay at the crease for an extended period.Sri Lanka, under the leadership of Kusal Mendis, made quick work of England's top and middle order, delivering a strong bowling performance. Angelo Matthews, in his first ODI of the ongoing World Cup 2023, took a couple of crucial wickets, significantly contributing to England's downfall.Despite a shaky start, Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama forged a remarkable 137-run partnership that eventually led their team to victory and kept their World Cup 2023 campaign alive. England now faces an uphill battle to make it to the semi-finals and will square off against India, the only undefeated team in the tournament, in Lucknow on Sunday, October 29.IND vs SA 1st Test Highlights: India Finish Day 1 at 208/8 After Rain Abandoned Further PlayBBL 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 HappenedManipur to Mumbai: Eyes On 2024, Rahul To Lead 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' From Jan 14.

Prime Minister Modi said, "The LIGO-India will include us in one of the few countries to have such observatories in the world. It will give our students and scientists new and advanced opportunities"Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 11 May 2023 01:37 PM (IST)
LIGO is a physics experiment that detects cosmic ripples called gravitational waves. ( Image Source : Getty )Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday laid the foundation stone of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory – India (LIGO-India), placing the nation among a handful of countries that have a Gravitational-Wave observatory. The Prime Minister also announced multiple projects related to scientific and technological advancement in the country, worth more than Rs 5,800 crore on the occasion of 25th National Technology Day. PM Modi, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh, inaugurated the programme marking National Technology Day 2023 at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.The projects for which the foundation stone was laid include Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory-India (LIGO-India), Hingoli; Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Jatni, Odisha; and Platinum Jubilee Block of Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai.During his address, the Prime Minister said, "The LIGO-India will include us in one of the few countries to have such observatories in the world. It will give our students and scientists new and advanced opportunities."LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) is a physics experiment that detects cosmic ripples called gravitational waves, which carry information about their origins and provide clues to the nature of gravity. It derives its foundation from the theories of Albert Einstein. According to Einstein's theory, when two massive objects collide, they create a ripple or a disturbance in the fabric of space and time. This disturbance propagates in all directions from the source, like waves of undulating space-time. These waves are known as gravitational waves.Gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, and they carry information about their origins, which could help us learn more about the nature of gravity. Physicists believe that the most potent gravitational waves are generated by cataclysmic events, such as the collision of black holes, exploding stars, or colliding neutron stars. By detecting and studying these waves, scientists can gain insight into some of the most fundamental questions about the universe.In February 2016, the government granted in-principle approval for the construction of LIGO-India, an advanced gravitational-wave observatory that will form part of a global network.Last month, the Union Cabinet gave the green light for the project to proceed, with an estimated cost of Rs 2,600 crore and a completion date of 2030. LIGO-India is a collaborative venture between Indian research institutions, the LIGO Laboratory in the US, and international partners. The observatory will feature a 4 km interferometer arm length and will be highly sensitive to gravitational waves generated by the merging of massive astrophysical objects like black holes and neutron stars. The Department of Atomic Energy and the Department of Science and Technology will oversee the construction of LIGO-India in partnership with the National Science Foundation of the US, as well as national and international research and academic institutions. The US will provide key components for the facility valued at $80 million, equivalent to Rs 560 crore.The LIGO-India Observatory will significantly improve the capability of the global scientific community in the field of gravitational-wave astronomy and astrophysics. It will also advance Indian science and technology in a wide range of cutting-edge fields, including lasers, optics, vacuum, quantum metrology, and control systems. Mega-science ventures like LIGO-India provide ideal learning platforms to create seamless ecosystems that connect academia, laboratories, and industry on a national and global scale.Other projects announced on National Technology Day include Fission Molybdenum-99 Production Facility, Mumbai; Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Plant, Visakhapatnam; National Hadron Beam Therapy Facility, Navi Mumbai; Radiological Research Unit, Navi Mumbai; Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Visakhapatnam; and Women & Children Cancer Hospital Building, Navi Mumbai.Samsung Galaxy S24 Base Model May Launch With UFS 3.1 StorageGenerative AI Can Complement Aadhaar, UPI To Make It Safer, More Efficient.

On Sunday night, the actor seemed was seen sporting a bald look when he arrived at a restaurant for attending a party. Several photos and videos of the actor from the event are going viral on social media.Salman was seen arriving at the restaurant in his automobile with a bald appearance in a video posted on Instagram by a paparazzi. The actor donned black trousers and a black shirt. He was welcomed by someone at the location. After shaking hands with him, the actor entered the restaurant.Salman's fans went gaga over his new look and rushed to the comments section of the post to express their views on the actor's new look.

Salman has previously chosen to wear his hair in this style. In 'Tere Naam' and 'Sultan', he appeared bald. On Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in 2021, Salman had mentioned about going bald for his film.He had stated, "Not many people know but there's a very interesting story behind my look in Tere Naam," as reported by Indian Express. When Sunil Manchanda, Tere Naam's producer and a dear friend of mine, approached me when I was filming for another movie, he told me that I would need to become bald in order to fit my character. Due to the fact that I was working on a film at the time, I wasn't really sure.""I still recall that the day I had a fever, the director of the other movie kept nagging me to come to the shoot. Out of annoyance, I went to the washroom and shaved my head. The following day, I phoned Sunil ji and informed him that I had shaved my hair and was ready to sign up Tere Naam."On the work front, Salman Khan will next be seen in 'Tiger 3' also starring Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi.

Ayurveda uses a variety of natural remedies, including herbs, dietary changes, detoxification techniques and lifestyle recommendations to address the root cause of ailments.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Utsa Ganguly | Updated at : 20 Jul 2023 07:00 AM (IST)
(Representational Image) ( Image Source : Getty )New Delhi: Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine and science of life that originated in India which considers life to be an understanding of the body-mind-spirit complex and health to be a balance among them. It is part of the 'Atharvaveda' and offers a holistic approach to wellness. Ayurveda uses a variety of natural remedies, including herbs, dietary changes, detoxification techniques and lifestyle recommendations to address the root cause of ailments rather than just treating the symptoms. In this regard, S.C Sharma, who is a Co-ordinator Therapist and Naturopath expert said, "As a physician, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of Ayurveda in improving the overall well-being of people. Ayurveda emphasizes a balance between the body, mind and spirit and recognizes that true health is achieved when these elements are in harmony. This holistic approach includes personalized treatment plans that take into account each individual's constitution, lifestyle and environment.""By restoring balance and harmony to the body, Ayurveda not only alleviates physical ailments, but also promotes mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual growth. It empowers individuals to take charge of their health by making conscious choices that support their overall well-being," he further added.According to Sharmilee Kapur, Co-Founder & Director of Atmantan Wellness Centre, "An authentic and traditional Ayurveda treatment is one where the body’s personality type or ‘Prakruti’ (Dosha based) along with the health concerns or ‘Vikruti’ are analyzed and diagnosed." "Following this diagnosis, a detailed treatment protocol along with a dosha-specific diet is planned. This together takes the body on a balancing journey that starts with the preparatory stage and progresses into the cleansing stage followed by the final stage of rejuvenation. This journey of discovery and the awakening of the natural healing energies within us is the kind of deep holistic wellness one benefits from with Ayurveda," she further added.Let us know more about the doshas:Panchamahabhuta and Doshas :It states that all of nature, including our body, is made up of five elements - Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jal), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu) and Space (Aakash) and that each individual has a unique body-mind constitution that comprises of the ‘Doshas’. Doshas are biochemical and physiological forces that combine these five elements and run throughout the body. These are ‘Vata’, ‘Pitta’ and ‘Kapha’.‘Vata’ Dosha - A combination of Air (Vayu) and Space (Aakash) elements, it is responsible for any kind of movement within the body. The presence of Vata helps us breathe, speak, move and excrete. An imbalanced ‘Vata’ results in a series of issues often associated with gas, flatulence, migraine, fatigue, jumpiness or pain anywhere in the body.‘Pitta’ Dosha - A combination of Fire (Agni) and Water (Jal) elements, it is responsible for metabolism, digestion, purification of blood, and transformation within the body. An imbalanced ‘Pitta’ can lead to a build-up of excess heat in the liver, leading to anger, aggression and frustration. It also causes acidity, liver and gallbladder disorders, inflammation and dryness in the hands.‘Kapha’ Dosha - A combination of Water (Jal) and Earth (Prithvi) elements and is responsible for structural development and lubrication within the body and governs the growth of the ‘dhatus’ (bodily tissues) - the blood, fat, muscles, bones, marrow and other fluids. An imbalanced Kapha leads to water retention in the body, sluggishness, drowsiness and a lack of motivation to move.According to Akshi Khandelwal, who is the founder, CEO of Butterfly Ayurveda, "These doshas are present in each and every cell of the body and determine the body frame, weight, structure, bone density, digestion, metabolism, likes and dislikes and the disposition etc. of each individual. Usually, two or more doshas are predominant in an individual’s constitution and make for the ‘Prakriti’, i.e. Ayurvedic constitution of the person. Gaining an understanding of one’s “Prakriti" empowers one to make better decisions with respect to every aspect of life.""Most health problems and lifestyle-related disorders today are a result of psychosomatic disturbances. Treating psychosomatic disorders have always been a part of Ayurveda and practices such as Yoga (which is the ‘union’ of the body and mind), meditation, ‘Pranayama’ (breathing exercises), marma therapy and herbal treatments prescribed in Ayurveda help remove such disturbances while aligning overall health needs and well being," she further added.She also spoke about the therapies that have been used for centuries to promote physical, mental and emotional well-being. Here are a few listed by her:Ayurveda And Wellness:Throughout the ancient ages, wellness has always held a prominent position in India, especially due to our association with Ayurveda, Yoga, and Buddha. Ayurveda, renowned for its numerous benefits, strengthens the immune system, reduces stress, improves gut, cardiovascular, and neurological health, prevents diseases, and restores balance to our bodily pathways.To embark on a journey towards wellness, one can adopt simple Ayurvedic habits, as suggested by Sharmilee Kapur such as:Lights, Camera, Virality!

Women's Day 2023: A hot flash is one of the most common symptoms of menopause. They are characterised by a sudden heat dissipation response, often accompanied by profuse sweating and internal heat.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 06 Mar 2023 06:38 PM (IST)
Women's Day 2023: Despite being a common symptom, many myths surround hot flashes during menopause. Some people believe that since they are short-lived, there is no need to seek medical help. ( Image Source : Getty )By Dr. Teena SinghAs a natural biological process, menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. While it is a normal part of life, the symptoms of menopause can be difficult to manage and can be a challenging time for some women. A hot flash is one of the most common symptoms of menopause. They are characterised by a sudden heat dissipation response, often accompanied by profuse sweating, internal heat, flushing, and chills. Sweating usually occurs on the face, neck, and chest, and it can last for 1–5 minutes. Some women may experience mild hot flashes that are easy to manage, while others may have severe hot flashes that interfere with their daily activities and sleep. Hot flashes are caused by a deficiency of the oestrogen hormone, which makes the body's hypothalamus (thermostat) more sensitive to changes in body temperature. They can occur in women experiencing natural menopause or surgical menopause (removal of the ovaries), and oestrogen therapy can effectively treat them.Despite being a common symptom, many myths surround hot flashes during menopause. Some people believe that since they are short-lived, there is no need to seek medical help. However, while the average duration of hot flashes is two years, they can last for up to 20 years. Another myth is that hot flashes only occur in women in their 50s, but they may begin in their 30s.Additionally, some believe that consuming soy products and wine containing phytoestrogens can relieve hot flashes, but overindulgence can be harmful to overall health.Another misconception is that cooling the face by spraying cool water or ice can alleviate hot flashes. However, cooling tools may trigger more hot flashes, and it is better to maintain a stable body temperature by avoiding heat spikes and air conditioners. Fortunately, there are several treatment options available for hot flashes during menopause, depending on the severity and frequency of the symptoms, including pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic options.It was once believed that hormone replacement therapy was the only effective treatment for hot flashes. However, there are now several pharmacologic options available, such as hormone replacement therapy with an oestrogen and progestin combination (as progestins prevent uterine cancer and oestrogen given alone can cause breast cancer), antidepressants, clonidine, oxybutynin pills or patches, nerve blocks, and more. Non-pharmacologic therapies, such as small lifestyle changes like maintaining a stable temperature, avoiding hot and spicy foods, caffeinated beverages, alcohol, and smoking, practising meditation and deep breathing exercises, and losing weight, can also help reduce the frequency of hot flashes.It is essential to be cautious about the information found online or from friends, as it may not be accurate. There are various treatment options available for managing hot flashes and improving quality of life during menopause. Hot flashes can be a challenging and disruptive symptom of menopause, and it is important to consult a doctor for guidance through the ups and downs of menopause and determine the best course of action.[The author is a senior consultant, gynaecologist, and obstetrician at Daffodils by Artemis.][Disclaimer: The opinions, beliefs, and views expressed by the various authors and forum participants on this website are personal and do not reflect the opinions, beliefs, and views of ABP News Network Pvt Ltd.]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?

In an industry where unattainable aesthetic standards have long been the norm, actresses are coming forward to normalise all kinds of sizes, and shapes, and promote self-love.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 24 Aug 2022 07:34 PM (IST)
Vidya Balan has spoken out against body shaming on social media and other platforms. ( Image Source : Instagram )New Delhi: Stereotypes are the "typical generalisation" that society as a whole generates by adhering to a general pattern and creating a generalised perspective. One of the many stereotypes existing in our society is the quest to achieve a perfect body shape, especially for women, or the idealistic notion of attainment of an ideal female body shape. Body shaming which is referred to as the action or practice of humiliating someone by making mocking or critical comments about their body shape or size has been unnoticed for a long time in our society, it is now that prominent television and film figures are leading the stage to raise a concern about the issue. Due to her weight gain, Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu recently had to endure online bullying. Even though she did not mind her weight, she recently admitted to People magazine that the online abuse bothered her."I was bullied for gaining weight. I found it quite unsettling and shocking to watch how individuals began to voice their thoughts, which shouldn't really matter. She was reported in the journal as saying, "It's not about how you appear; it's about who you are from the inside, how you treat people, and what you believe in.The Chandigarh beauty pageant winner referenced an old video of Brook Antoinette Mahealani Lee, popularly known as Brook Lee, from her Miss USA 1997 competition, which she won and went on to claim the title of Miss Universe that year, in a now-unavailable Instagram story uploaded earlier this week.She posed a question concerning weight gain during the Miss USA competition, and her famous response that night ensured her victory. "[The reigning] Miss Universe has recently drawn a lot of press attention over her weight," the broadcaster had questioned her. How would you respond if anything like this occurred to you?To this, Lee replied, “I think I would take a good hard look at myself and I’d look from the inside out and I would know I was the same girl that was crowned that day and it really didn’t matter what I look like on the outside, because I won for what I was in here. So if I go up, I go down, I get taller, I get shorter, my nose gets bigger, smaller, I’m still who I was when that crown was on my head and I am a good representative no matter what.”Miss Universe 2021 posted the video beside a text, “Just a reminder!” Earlier, Bollywood actresses like Huma Qureshi and Vidya Balan have also spoken out against body shaming on social media and other platforms.Recently, Vidya Balan shared a brief but crucial occurrence on social media that made her think about the importance of body acceptance and self-love. She was at an event when a girl approached her and asked respectfully if she would take her picture. Minutes later, the girl came rushing back for another picture, saying, “Galat side se liya, main achchi nahi lag rahi ,yeh post nahi kar paungi.”The girl chased the actress through the crowd to her car because she was so determined to have the ideal shot with her. Vidya gave in to her constant requests, but it brought back memories of her earlier struggles with her body and her "profile issues".The star also admitted that she frequently used crash diets "simply to lose weight" during an interview with businesswoman Namita Thapar on her show 'Uncondition Yourself with Namita Thapar' earlier in the month of May of this year.She continued by saying that despite being at her thinnest, she would "feel fat" due to her struggles with body image issues. "In my early years, I experienced rejection in the South film industry, which I believed was caused by my weight. I felt overweight even when I was the thinnest," she admitted.Actress Huma Qureshi described very similar experiences in an interview with Mid Day, recalling that women encounter such kinds of issues on a daily basis. Body shaming affects all women, not just those who appear in front of the camera. The issue is pertinent. She's been approached by numerous women who have all told her that. She has a personal connection to Double XL size as well because she was fat-shamed for years. For a long, it has been believed and practically followed that in order to be an actress one has to maintain a shape, an ideal female body shape. In an industry where unattainable aesthetic standards have long been the norm, actresses are coming forward to normalise all kinds of sizes and shapes that exist, ultimately it's hard work and commitment towards work that matters.

The Punjab-based batter has got out four times in six innings against spinners during the series against West Indies.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 05 Aug 2023 07:55 PM (IST)
Nayar also talked about Rinku and said selectors should give him a long rope. ( Image Source : Twitter/@abhisheknayar1 )Former India cricketer Abhishek Nayar has witnessed both Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh from close quarters while giving his services as the assistant coach for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Gill has already sealed a spot in the Indian team after showing immense potential at the international level while Rinku on the other side managed to get a spot during India’s tour to Ireland for three T20Is later this month.“I have absolutely no doubt about their tremendous potential. With the amount of competition in cricket these days, it is not easy to get opportunities and they need to maximise the chances that come their way. Yes, it’s all about that mental push,” Nayar told PTI here on Saturday.However, Gill has not been in his best of forms as he was spotted struggling during the ongoing series against West Indies, often getting dismissed by the spinners. The Punjab-based batter has got out four times in six innings against spinners during the series against West Indies.“I am not worried about Shubman as he has got a strong base and culture. It’s tough for a young cricketer to play so much cricket and be that consistent. You need to cut him some slack and say that he’s going to fail.”“He’s playing in the West Indies, not the easiest of conditions for batting… low-scoring games. This experience is going to make him better. I think he’s going to have a terrific World Cup,” said Nayar.Nayar also talked about Rinku and said selectors should give him a long rope, considering his skills of attacking bowlers while coming in at No 6.“There’s a possibility that he may take a little more time (to adapt to international cricket), you know, because of his upbringing. But he is a terrific player. Anyone who averages 60 in First-Class cricket, 50 in List A and 30 in T20 is a terrific player,” he said.“So, I would love to have a long rope for him and, hopefully, the selectors will keep faith in him. Rinku is also someone who will add so much value to the team with his overall attitude,” said Nayar.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.

Jaideep Ahlawat admitted that he agreed to watch 'Raazi' only because Meghna Gulzar and Alia Bhatt threatened to block his number. He also shared that he is often unable to watch himself on screen ( Image Source : IMDb )New Delhi: Jaideep Ahlawat, who was most recently seen in 'Jaane Jaan' has opened up about a rather crucial time of his life. In a recent chat, he admitted that he agreed to watch 'Raazi' only because Meghna Gulzar and Alia Bhatt threatened to block his number. Jaideep also shared that he is often unable to watch himself on screen because he gets disappointed by his own performances. In a conversation with his 'Jaane Jaan' co-star Saurabh Sachdeva, Jaideep shared his experience on 'Raazi' and said that for the first time in his life, he began having nightmares because of work. "It’s normal to be affected by work. With me, I started having nightmares during Raazi for the first time ever. I never used to have nightmares. But because I was so entrenched in the world of espionage at the time, because I had read up so much on the subject, I got scared. For the first time in my life, I would wake up with a start at night. I would see people running from guns and bombs.” he shared in Hindi.Also adding that he has not seen almost 80% of his finished work, he said in the same interaction, "I watched Raazi only after Meghna and Alia threatened to block my number. I went for the fourth screening."Jaideep also recalled an anecdote from the set. He said that on the final day of shoot in Patiala, they were running out of time and he had to perform a close-up shot. Meghna Gulzar could not watch it on the monitor, and he was told that would shoot three different takes and was confident he would nail it. He said that the pressure put him in a different gear.In 'Raazi', Jaideep Ahlawat played a spy's handler and Alia Bhatt played the spy. The film marked a critical moment of success in Alia Bhatt's career as the film became a box office and critical success.

Canada is likely to arrest two suspects in the murder case of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a report said adding that the two never left the country and were placed under surveillance.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 28 Dec 2023 11:11 AM (IST)
Canada is likely to arrest two suspects in the murder case of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a report said adding that the two never left the country and were placed under surveillance. ( Image Source : X/@BCSikhs )Canadian police are close to arresting two men believed to be responsible for the fatal shooting of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in the British Columbia province in June and are still in the country, according to a media report.According to The Globe and Mail newspaper, the suspects are currently under police surveillance and are expected to be apprehended "in a matter of weeks." According to three anonymous sources quoted by the newspaper, the two suspected killers did not leave Canada following Nijjar's assassination and have been under police surveillance for months.The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist Nijjar outside a gurdwara in Surrey city on June 18.India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020. India has rejected Trudeau's allegations as "absurd" and "motivated".The report on Wednesday said that police will unveil details regarding the alleged involvement of the assassins and their connection to the Indian government when formal charges are filed."Within the community, there's a sense of closure that might come with the two people being arrested like it's being said," the Global News quoted Moninder Singh, spokesperson of BC Gurdwaras Council, as saying.According to the report, the integrated homicide investigation team said it was aware of the reports of imminent arrests in Nijjar's murder but won't comment because it's an active investigation.The Canadian allegations were followed by a US indictment in November outlining a foiled plot to kill a Canadian-American Sikh activist, the report said.In November, the US federal prosecutors charged that one Nikhil Gupta was working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill a Sikh separatist, who holds dual citizenship of the US and Canada. Though the separatist Sikh leader was not named, media reports identified him as Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the leader of the Sikhs for Justice, an organisation banned in India.India has already constituted a probe committee to investigate allegations by the US prosecutors.External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told the Rajya Sabha earlier this month that Canada has not shared any specific evidence or inputs with India.Days after Trudeau's allegations in September, India temporarily suspended the issuance of visas to Canadian citizens and asked Ottawa to downsize its diplomatic presence in the country to ensure parity.India resumed some visa services in Canada last month, more than a month after they were suspended.(This report has been published as part of an auto-generated syndicated wire feed.

Low concentrations of a particular compound in commercial mouthwashes suppress the infectivity of four variants of SARS-CoV-2.Which compound in mouthwashes suppresses SARS-CoV-2?How does the compound work against the novel coronavirus?Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 06 Oct 2022 05:41 PM (IST)
Mouthwashes available in the market contain antibiotic and antiviral components that act against microorganisms in the mouth. One of these components is cetylpyridinium chloride. The compound has been found to reduce the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in the mouth. ( Image Source : kreatikar/Pixabay )Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), or novel coronavirus, is the causative organism of Covid-19. The virus is airborne, and transmitted via aerosols, which are spread from the oral and nasal cavities. Not only does SARS-CoV-2 infect cells in the respiratory tract, but also the cells along the lining of the mouth and the salivary glands. Mouthwashes have an antiviral effect on SARS-CoV-2 and may suppress Covid-19, a new study reports. This is because some mouthwashes contain the chemical cetylpyridinium chloride, low concentrations of which have an antiviral effect on the novel coronavirus. The study, led by researchers at Hokkaido University, Japan, was recently published in the journal Scientific Reports. Mouthwashes available in the market contain antibiotic and antiviral components that act against microorganisms in the mouth. One of these components is cetylpyridinium chloride. The compound has been found to reduce the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in the mouth, by disrupting the lipid membrane surrounding the virus. ALSO READ | Nobel Prize 2022: Relationship Between Humans And Extinct Relatives – Discoveries That Won Swedish Geneticist Physiology NobelThe advantage of cetylpyridinium chloride over other chemicals with similar effects is that it is tasteless and odourless. The scientists studied the effects of cetylpyridinium chloride in Japanese mouthwashes, which typically contain a fraction of the compound compared to previously tested mouthwashes. The researchers studied the effects of cetylpyridinium chloride on cell cultures that express trans-membrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2). This is required for SARS-CoV-2 entry into the cell. The researchers tested four variants of SARS-CoV-2, namely alpha, beta, gamma and the wild strain. The effects of cetylpyridinium chloride were found to be similar across all the strains. ALSO READ | Physics Nobel 2022: The Mysteries Of Quantum Entanglement, And Their Relevance For The FutureThey observed that within 10 minutes of application, thirty to fifty micrograms per millilitre of cetylpyridinium chloride inhibited the infectivity and capability for cell entry of SARS-CoV-2, the study says. Also, commercially available mouthwashes that contain cetylpyridinium chloride performed better than the compound alone. The researchers showed that saliva did not alter the effects of cetylpyridinium chloride. The study authors are currently assessing the effect of mouthwashes with this compound on viral loads in saliva of Covid-19 patients. Low concentrations of cetylpyridinium chloride in commercial mouthwashes suppress the infectivity of four variants of SARS-CoV-2, the study concludes.ALSO READ | Chemistry Nobel 2022: What Are Click Chemistry And Bioorthogonal Reactions?

When it comes to skincare, there is always something new around the corner to become obsessed with and there is help without chemicals or expensive surgeries.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2022 07:55 AM (IST)
New Year 2023: Five Natural Items To Include In Your Daily Skin Care Regime ( Image Source : Getty )New Delhi: Often, time leaves its impact on our bodies and taking good care of our skin is extremely important. 2022 was all about covid recovery and with 2023 just around the corner, you can consider adding these items to your skincare regime if you haven't already. A hectic lifestyle featuring long working hours has become more common leading to a visible impact on our skin. This year there were a few skincare ingredients like pataua oil, ghee, tulsi, etc that were star performers and showed great results. Hence, they were featured in numerous formulations. When it comes to skincare, there is always something new around the corner to become obsessed with and if that can be without chemicals or expensive surgeries, it's even better. So, we have curated a list of 5 such natural items that created a massive impact on the skincare industry and became the need of the hour.Pataua oil: This oil has skin-firming properties because of the high levels of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and amino acid protein. Pataua oil is a potent moisturiser with a high oleic acid content and unique properties such as light texture and ease of skin absorption. It is widely used in skin care as a nourishing moisturiser, and it is especially beneficial for those with ageing, oily, or seasoned skin. Also, the oil has outstanding moisturising qualities that assist to recover dry skin by forming a lipid film on the epidermis. Kumkumadi: It is a natural moisturizer that uses Sesame oil as the base oil. Because of its Vata pacifying properties, it balances dry and rough skin. As a result, Kumkumadi is beneficial to dry skin. Regular and proper use of it results in luminous, youthful, and healthy skin by regenerating and renewing skin cells.Swiss Glacier Extract: An expedition was launched to a glacier in Valais, Switzerland, to discover and harvest novel microorganisms that can be used in cosmetics. Microbes that were previously hidden beneath layers of permanent ice are now accessible, as glaciers have shrunk over the last few decades. It contributes to the improvement of correct protein folding, reduces stress and stimulates energy production in vitro. Swiss glacier extract energizes tired skin and powerfully reduces wrinkles. Also, it increases radiance despite a hectic lifestyle and builds your own moisture reservoir.Ghee: It is nutrient-rich and has maximum hydrating effects, along with reversing the effects of ageing. This contributes to 24-hour hydration in the body. Body butter and ghee-based oils penetrate the skin's deepest layers, hydrating it inside and out. These products not only hydrate but also soften and brighten the skin. One of the most common wintertime complaints is dry and flaky skin. Protein molecules in ghee are broken down into smaller molecules with each wash, resulting in easier absorption and a smoother feel on the skin. Tulsi: Tulsi, according to tradition, can help to treat acne and reduce skin inflammation. Because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, it naturally combats acne and skin irritation. It also contains essential vitamins that aid in the fading of dark spots and acne scars. Lights, Camera, Virality!

We will also continue to take up the matter with the Qatari authorities.”The MEA added, “Due to the confidential and sensitive nature of proceedings of this case, it would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this juncture.”The death sentence was handed out to the eight ex-Indian Navy personnel on October 26, 2023. They were arrested in August 2022. The former Navy officials were working with a private firm there named Al Dahra Global Technologies and Consultancy Services, headquartered in Doha.This comes after Prime Minister Modi met the Emir on December 2 in which he raised the issue of the death sentence handed to the eight Navy veterans as New Delhi has urged Doha to halt the death penalty.ABP Live had reported first that Modi would be discussing the issue with the Qatari Emir and requesting him to reduce the sentence.So far there have been three hearings in Qatar's Court of Appeal – 23 November, 30 November and 7 December. In the meantime, Ambassador Vipul got consular access to the navy officers, Arindam Bagchi, the outgoing spokesperson of the External Affairs Ministry said last week.The eight navy veterans — Captain Navtej Singh Gill, Captain Birendra Kumar Verma, Captain Saurabh Vasisht, Commander Amit Nagpal, Commander Purnendu Tiwari, Commander Sugunakar Pakala, Commander Sanjeev Gupta, and Sailor Ragesh — were arrested in August 2022 on charges of espionage on behalf of Israel, providing it with sensitive information regarding Qatar’s military submarine programme.The Qatari authorities had rejected their bail pleas several times while extending their detention.Commander Tiwari (retd.) was working as the Managing Director for Al Dahra Global Technologies and Consultancy Services before being arrested. He has been a decorated Navy officer who has commanded several warships of the Indian Navy. He had even received the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman in 2019.After the death sentence was handed down, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met the family members of the veterans and assured them of the government’s efforts to bring relief to them.PM Modi To Visit Ayodhya On Dec 30, To Unveil Infrastructure Projects Worth Over Rs 11,000 CroreParliament Security Breach: Delhi Cops Seek Court's Nod For Polygraph Test On Accused'If Sangh Govt Remains In Power...': Congress Sounds Lok Sabha Poll Bugle At Nagpur RallyBreaking News Live: 6-Year-Old Boy Found Dead Behind House In UP Village'Congress To Conduct Caste Census Once Elected To Power': Rahul Gandhi On Foundation DayPriyanka Gandhi Named By ED In Money Laundering CaseBeyond Controversy: A Deeper Look At 'Animal' & The Collective ShadowDMDK Chief Vijayakanth Passes Away, Was On Ventilator Support After Testing Covid PositiveElon Musk's Grok AI Is Now Available In India At Nearly Double The Price Of ChatGPT PlusIND vs SA 1st Test LIVE: South Africa End Their First Innings On 408/9 This website uses cookies or similar technologies, to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalised recommendations.

Hafiz Saaed has been imprisoned in Pakistan since 2019 after being convicted in various terror finance charges along with other JuD leaders for several years.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 05:09 PM (IST)
26/11 Attack Mastermind Hafiz Saeed. ( Image Source : Getty )India has formally asked that Pakistan hand over Hafiz Saeed, the architect of the Mumbai terror attacks on November 26, MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, news agency ANI reported. Even as his son, Talha Saeed, has announced his intention to run in the upcoming Pakistan's general elections, the infamous figure, Hafiz Saeed remains a wanted terrorist in India. Hafiz Saaed has been imprisoned in Pakistan since 2019 after being convicted in various terror finance charges along with other leaders of the outlawed Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) for several years.On extradition request to Pakistan to hand over 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said: "The person in question is wanted in numerous cases in India. He is also a UN-proscribed terrorist. In this regard, we have conveyed a request along with relevant supporting documents to the Government of Pakistan to extradite him to India to face trial in a particular case. We have been flagging the issue of activities, that he's been wanted for. This is a recent request."#WATCH | On extradition request to Pakistan to hand over 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi says, "The person in question is wanted in numerous cases in India.

Hafiz Saeed has been imprisoned and freed multiple times in the last decade, although he denies being involved in armed activities. The JuD, founded by Hafiz Saeed, is the front organisation for the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is accused of carrying out the 26/11 Mumbai assault in 2008, which murdered 166 people, including six Americans.The LeT terrorist group had been active in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan, for years.Notably, India has frequently requested Hafiz Saeed's extradition from Pakistan in order for him to stand prosecution for the Mumbai attacks, but the lack of an extradition treaty between India and Pakistan complicates matters.A Pakistani court sentenced Hafiz Saeed to 31 years in jail in two charges of terrorism funding in April 2022.Saeed was found guilty of many violations in both trials, but it was unclear how much jail time he would face given his present detention and the sentences running simultaneously, according to Al Jazeera.

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar is set to take over as JD(U) president after Lalan Singh stepped down from the postRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 01:29 PM (IST)
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and JD(U) National President Lalan Singh convene the party's national executive meeting, in New Delh. ( Image Source : PTI )Janata Dal-United or JD(U)’s Lalan Singh has stepped down as party president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is set to take over the post after a national executive meeting of the party. The development comes after a national executive meeting began on Friday at the Constitution Club in Delhi which was attended by CM Nitish Kumar, now former JD(U) national president Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh, and other party leaders. Lalan Singh is yet to reveal the reason for his resignation.#BREAKING | ललन सिंह ने दिया JDU अध्यक्ष पद से इस्तीफानीतीश बन सकते हैं नए अध्यक्ष- सूत्रदेखिए '12 से 2- पॉलिटिकल शो' @awdheshkmishra के साथhttps://t.co/smwhXUROiK | @kumarprakash4u#JDU #NitishKumar #Delhi #Bihar #LalanSingh pic.twitter.com/J7Dvzia4xk
Following the announcement, JD(U) workers raised slogans enthusiastically and stated that 'the country needs a prime minister like Nitish Kumar'. The workers said that there is no difference between Nitish Kumar and Lalan Singh. However, they said the change has been made because of the Lok Sabha elections, and that the I.N.D.I.A bloc would like to take CM Kumar along. Senior party leader KC Tyagi said Bihar CM Nitish Kumar was elected as JD(U) president at the party's national executive meeting.Bihar CM Nitish Kumar elected JD(U) president at party's national executive meeting, says party leader K C Tyagi

Earlier in the day, Choudhary dismissed all reports and said that Lalan Singh was working fine and would remain the national president. Choudhary further conveyed that the matter would be discussed within the party, addressing any potential concerns raised by the agenda during the meeting.On Thursday, JD(U) quashed all reports that suggested a likely change of guard in the Party Leadership, according to ANI. Rajeev Ranjan (Lalan Singh) had said, "The National Executive is a regular meeting of the JDU. There are meetings of the national executive often. Nitish Kumar is our supreme leader and the JD(U) is one and will always remain one."Meanwhile, KC Tyagi also emphasised that the meeting would be a regular one where alliances in states would also be discussed.Subscribe And Follow ABP Live On Telegram: https://t.me/officialabplive75th Republic Day Parade Rehearsal Kicks Off As Dense Fog Shrouds Delhi — WATCHBreaking News Live — Explosions In Ukraine's Capital Kyiv, Countrywide Air Alerts, Say AuthoritiesAmid JN.1 Scare, India Logs 797 New Cases Of Covid-19, Highest In 225 DaysCovid-19 LIVE: India Logs 797 New Cases, Highest In 225 DaysIndian Navy Unveils Chhatrapati Shivaji-Inspired Epaulettes For Officers — DetailsStock 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' This website uses cookies or similar technologies, to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalised recommendations.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched the Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Nyay Yojana in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur and addressed a public rally.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 25 Sep 2023 03:12 PM (IST)
Rahul Gandhi launches Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Nyay Yojana in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur ( Image Source : X/@INCIndia )Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre over the issue of caste census saying the survey was conducted by the Congress party but Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not want to show its data to the public. Rahul launched Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Nyay Yojana (MGANY) in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur. Speaking at the event, the Wayanad MP reiterated his claim that there are currently only 3 secretaries out of the total 90 to the Government of India who belong to the Other Backward Class. "They make only 5 per cent of representation. Are there only 5per cent OBC in the country? This is a big question, answer to which can be given by caste census," he said. "Caste census is India's X-ray." During his speech, he also alleged that whenever he would talk about the caste census in the recently-concluded special session of the Parliament, "the camera would pan to the opposite direction".The housing scheme is aimed at providing financial assistance to the homeless and families having kutcha houses in the rural areas. At 'Awas Nyay Sammelan', Gandhi and Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel disbursed the first instalment of Rs 25,000 each to 1,30,000 beneficiaries for the construction of houses. The total 1.30 lakh beneficiaries include 1 lakh of those who listed on the Permanent Wait List (PWL) under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY- rural), but are yet to get the benefit of the Central scheme, an official told news agency PTI. During the event, Rupees 5 crore were also transferred to the accounts of 500 beneficiaries under Mukhyamantri Nirman Shramik Awas Sahayata Yojana (MNSASY), launched in May this year. Gandhi and Baghel inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of the development and construction works worth Rupees 524.33 crore in Bilaspur district and also distributed appointment letters to 2,594 newly recruited teachers. On the directions of Chief Minister Baghel, the Chhattisgarh State Socio-Economic Survey 2023 was conducted between April 1 and April 30 this year in which 10,76,545 families to be having either kutcha house or were homeless. Under MGNAY, those homeless families who were left of the survey list of the Socio-Economic Caste Census -2011 (SECC-2011) have been given financial aid by the Chhattisgarh government.

Ron Brand has slammed the "unproven" claims made against his son and suggested the media are pursuing a "vendetta".Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: IANS | Updated at : 18 Sep 2023 05:41 PM (IST)
Russell Brand's father has defended his son against "unproven" charges of abuse. ( Image Source : Getty Images )New Delhi: Comedian and actor Russell Brand's father has defended the comic against "unproven" allegations of abuse and suggested the media are pursuing a "vendetta" against his son.Ron Brand has slammed the "unproven" claims made against the 'Get Him to the Greek' actor -- who over the weekend was accused of sexually, emotionally and physically abusing four women at the height of his fame -- and suggested the media are pursuing a "vendetta" against the 48-year-old star, reports femalefirst.co.uk.Ron told MailOnline: "Is this seriously the most important thing happening in this world? Immigrants? Cost of living? 10s of thousands killed in Ukraine? Who is prioritising at BBC News. Who is really driving this vendetta?"With many struggling to pay bills. The unproven accusations of 15 years ago take lead on BBC News?"The 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' star previously credited Ron for his "rapacious" sexual appetite after his dad paid for him to lose his virginity to a prosititute while he slept with two sex workers in a bed next to him during a trip to Hong Kong when Russell was 17.The comedian wrote in his autobiography 'My Booky Wook': "During the rest of that holiday I f***** loads more prostitutes and never wore a condom… it had hardened me… my sexuality had morphed for ever from bewildered innocence into something more complex and rapacious."One woman has alleged Russell raped her in his Los Angeles home, while another accused him of grooming her as they were involved in an allegedly "emotionally abusive and controlling relationship" for three months when she was just 16 and still at school, and he was 31.A third accuser claimed the comic sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles, and that he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation, and a fourth detailed the alleged sexual, physical and emotional abuse she was subjected to.Ahead of The Times publishing their report, Russell shared a two minute, 45 second video on YouTube and X strongly denying the claims and arguing the allegations were part of a “serious, concerted agenda” to control “spaces” such as his online outlet.(This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

The consumer price index based retail inflation spiked to a 15-month high of 7.44 per cent in July 2023, with specific food commodities mainly driving the increase.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 22 Aug 2023 12:36 PM (IST)
The monthly report from the finance ministry's Department of Economic Affairs further said that the agricultural sector is picking up momentum with significant advancement in monsoon and kharif sowing. ( Image Source : Getty )The finance ministry of Tuesday said the inflation in food items is likely to be transitory as preemptive measures by the government and arrival of fresh crops will cool prices, even though global uncertainty and domestic disruptions may keep inflationary pressures elevated for the coming months.In its Monthly Economic Review for July, the ministry said going forward, while domestic consumption and investment demand are expected to continue driving growth, enhanced provision for capital expenditure by the government in the current fiscal is now leading to crowding in of private investment.The consumer price index based retail inflation spiked to a 15-month high of 7.44 per cent in July 2023, with specific food commodities mainly driving the increase. Core inflation, however, stayed at a 39-month low of 4.9 per cent.Cereals, pulses and vegetables exhibited double-digit growth in July compared to the corresponding period last year. Disruption in domestic production also aggravated the inflationary pressures. Interruption in the supply chain of tomatoes due to white fly disease in Kolar district, Karnataka and the swift arrival of monsoon in northern India caused a surge in tomato prices. Tur dal price also inflated due to deficient production in kharif season 2022-23, the ministry said."The government has already taken preemptive measures to restrain food inflation which, along with the arrival of fresh stock, is likely to subside price pressure in the market soon... The price pressure in food items is expected to be transitory," the report said, adding, global uncertainty and domestic disruptions may keep inflationary pressures elevated for the coming months, warranting greater vigilance by the government and the RBI.Though food inflation in July is perhaps the third highest since the new CPI series began in 2014, only 48 per cent of food items have inflation of above 6 per cent, and this includes 14 food items with inflation in double digits.Items like tomato, green chilli, ginger and garlic witnessed inflation of more than 50 per cent. Hence, the abnormal increase in prices of certain specific items led to high food inflation in July 2023."Tomato prices are likely to decline with the arrival of fresh stocks by the end of August or early September. Further, enhanced imports of tur dal are expected to moderate pulses inflation. These factors, along with the recent government efforts, can soon materialise moderation in food inflation in the coming months," the Ministry said.Russia's decision to terminate the Black Sea Grain deal, along with dry conditions in major wheat-growing areas, caused the price spike in cereals. While domestic factors like white fly disease and uneven monsoon distribution exerted pressure on vegetable prices in India, it added.The RBI's interest rate setting committee had earlier this month decided to keep policy rates unchanged and remained focused on the withdrawal of accommodation to ensure that inflation progressively aligns with the target while supporting growth.The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) expected vegetable prices to correct in the coming months, but flagged the presence of uncertainties on the domestic food price outlook due to sudden weather events, possible El Nino conditions in August and beyond, and the firming up of global food prices. In this context, the MPC revised its inflation projection for current fiscal from 5.1 per cent to 5.4 per cent.Also Read : Piyush Goyal Reassures Onion Farmers About Fair Remuneration; Sets Price At Rs 2,410 Per QuintalCumulative rainfall during this year's southwest monsoon season till August 18, 2023 has been deficient by about 6 per cent compared to long period average. As on August 18, 2023, farmers have sown 102.3 million hectares, which is similar to the corresponding period last year's level and 1.1 per cent higher than the average of the last five years.The monthly report from the finance ministry's Department of Economic Affairs further said that the agricultural sector is picking up momentum with significant advancement in monsoon and kharif sowing. The procurement of wheat and rice has been progressing well, increasing the buffer stock levels of food grains to ensure food security in the country.With regard to investment, the report said the government's continued emphasis on capital expenditure is expected to drive growth in the coming years. The Union government in FY24 budget increased the capital outlay by 33.3 per cent, raising the share of capital expenditure in total expenditure from 12.3 per cent in 2017-18 to 22.4 per cent in 2023-24 (BE).Measures implemented by the Union government have also incentivised states to increase their capex spending. States capital expenditure increased by 74.3 per cent YoY in Q1 of FY24 to complement Centre's capex increase of 59.1 per cent in the same quarter."Enhanced provision for capital expenditure by the government is now leading to crowding in of private investment, as evident in the performance of various high-frequency indicators and industry reports which highlight the emergence of the green shoots of a private capex upcycle," the report said.The monthly review further said that the external sector requires monitoring for further strengthening the prospects in the face of active pursuit of industrial policies globally. Services exports continue to do well and are likely to continue doing so as the preference for remote working remains unabated, typically manifested in the proliferation of global capability centres.At the same time, from a medium-term perspective, it is important to monitor the impact of new technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, on the external demand for Indian services exports and the consequent impact on employment, it added.

The Brazilian president, who is in New Delhi for the G20 Summit, was in conversation with a leading online portal when he was asked to name an Indian film he liked watching.In his response, Lula said:"RRR'. It's a three-hour feature film and it has funny scenes and very beautiful dance. There is a deep critique to British control over India."And I believe it should be making success because anybody I meet, I ask them 'Have you watched the three 'R' film?' The political side I enjoyed and the dance and the joy that was shown in the film. The critique is perfect as they use humour. So, I congratulate the director and artists because it enchanted me." "RRR", a pre-independence fictional story, follows two real-life Indian revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Jr NTR) – in the 1920s. The film, which collected over Rs 1,200 crore in reported earnings worldwide, also became the first Indian production to win the Best Original Song Oscar for its foot-tapping Telugu track "Naatu Naatu" earlier this year.On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi handed over the ceremonial gavel to Lula to mark transfer of G20 presidency. Brazil officially will take over the mantle of the presidency of the elite grouping on December 1 this year. (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Akshay Kumar has changed the title of his upcoming movie, which was previously titled 'Mission Raniganj: The Great Indian Rescue',Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 06 Sep 2023 08:58 PM (IST)
Akshay Kumar's movie has had its name altered amid the online debate on renaming India to Bharat. ( Image Source : Instagram (akshaykumar) )New Delhi: The action-packed rescue thriller 'Mission Raniganj' starring Akshay Kumar is about to hit theatres. The movie is scheduled to premiere on October 6. The actor has changed the title of his upcoming movie, which was previously titled 'Mission Ranigan: The Great Indian Rescue', amid the ongoing discussion over changing India's name to Bharat. Akshay Kumar's movie has had its name altered amid the online debate on renaming India to Bharat after the government proposed it at the forthcoming special session of Parliament. On Wednesday, the actor released the motion poster for Mission Raniganj, but the internet quickly noticed a few changed references to 'Bharat' in his Instagram post. The Great Indian Rescue was the working title of 'Mission Raniganj'. The internet couldn't help but note how the tentative title appeared on the poster right beneath the final title.Check out the post here:A post shared by Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar)
The movie was based on a true story that happened at the "Raniganj Coalfield" and was inspired by Late Shri Jaswant Singh Gill's bravery in leading Bharat's coal mine rescue operation. In November 1989, Gill played a major part in the heroic rescue of all the miners still alive who were stranded in a flooded coal mine in Raniganj. 'Mission Raniganj' stars Akshay Kumar, Parineeti Chopra, Kumud Mishra, Pavan Malhotra, Ravi Kishan, Varun Badola, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya. The rescue drama has been directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, and it is produced by Pooja Entertainment, the venture of Vashu and Jackky Bhagnani.When President Draupadi Murmu sent official banquet invitations to heads of state and chief ministers during the G20 Summit in New Delhi, the word "India" was changed to "Bharat," which sparked a controversy.ALSO READ: G20, India-Bharat Row, Sanatan Dharma: PM Modi Gives Instructions To Ministers At MeetShah 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>

On Threads' settings, users can choose to delete or deactivate their profiles, clicking on a dedicated option to not delete their Instagram account as well. Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 14 Nov 2023 01:52 PM (IST)
Threads faced criticism for its initial lack of features typical of text-based social media platforms. ( Image Source : Getty )In a bid to address user concerns, Meta's new microblogging platform, Threads, has unveiled a new feature that enables users to delete their Threads profile without affecting their linked Instagram account. Since its launch in July, Threads users had expressed dissatisfaction with the inability to remove their presence from the platform without deleting their entire Instagram account.Responding to user feedback, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the update to the social media site.The first update caters to the long-standing request for the ability to delete a Threads profile independently of the associated Instagram account. Previously, Threads profiles were intrinsically linked to their corresponding Instagram accounts, leaving users with no option to eliminate their Threads presence without sacrificing their entire Instagram presence.On Threads' settings, users can choose to delete or deactivate their profiles, clicking on a dedicated option to not delete their Instagram account as well. The second update focuses on enhancing user control over the visibility of Threads posts across Meta's social platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook. Initially, Threads posts were automatically visible on these platforms, a strategic move by Meta to drive engagement. In response to privacy concerns raised by users who lacked control over the display of their Threads posts, the update introduces an opt-out feature. Users can now access this option in the Privacy section of the Settings menu, allowing them to choose whether their Threads posts appear on platforms outside of Threads.Despite its explosive debut in July, Threads faced criticism for its initial lack of features typical of text-based social media platforms. The platform recently addressed some of these concerns by introducing a Web version in August, catching up with competitors like X (formerly Twitter).After achieving a record-breaking 100 million downloads within days of its launch, Threads experienced a significant drop in user retention in subsequent weeks, losing over half of its initial user base. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged the challenge and expressed the company's commitment to improving user retention. Despite the setbacks, Threads has continued to roll out updates, including the introduction of an edit button and a Voice Threads feature in the past month, allowing users to edit posts within a five-minute window and share recorded voice messages as Threads posts, respectively.Samsung Galaxy S24 Base Model May Launch With UFS 3.1 StorageGenerative AI Can Complement Aadhaar, UPI To Make It Safer, More Efficient.

The domestic luxury car volumes stood at around 40,000 units in 2019, the best ever dispatches recorded by the industry in a year so farRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 15 Aug 2022 03:27 PM (IST)
Currently, luxury car volumes account for less than 2 per cent of the overall passenger vehicle sales annually and the sector has been more or less at the same level for the past decade. ( Image Source : Getty )Leading luxury carmakers expect 2022 to turn out to be the best ever in terms of sales, bettering the 2019 volumes, as the demand remains robust for high-end models.The companies also expect the ongoing festive season to be robust in terms of dispatches despite the chip shortage woes continuing.The domestic luxury car volumes stood at around 40,000 units in 2019, the best ever dispatches recorded by the industry in a year so far."The industry has become more resilient and with the third wave of Covid not being so severe, there has been a steady revival," Lexus India President Naveen Soni told PTI in an interaction.ALSO READ | Ola Electric Car With 500 Km Range Set To Arrive In 2024: Bhavish AggarwalThe luxury car market is on V-shaped recovery path with strong demand from the luxury consumers mainly attributed to change in consumer behaviour, more successful start-ups, younger affluent consumers and local production leading to a higher sense of value, he added.Soni noted that the current year has started well, both for the industry and for Lexus India."We are hoping that the demand for luxury cars will exceed the pre-pandemic level of 2019, which was the highest ever while the demand for Lexus in India has crossed our highest ever demand this July since the launch of operations in 2017," he added.When asked about festive season sales Soni stated: "We are looking at demand for Lexus cars to be three times of the best demand we have seen since the brand launch in 2017." Lexus cars being hybrids are high on technology with higher dependence on semiconductor availability, however, the brand is trying its best to deliver cars to customers on time, he added.Mercedes-Benz India MD & CEO Martin Schwenk said the company expects the strong sales momentum from the second quarter to continue in the coming festive period, as the customer sentiment remains very positive."The challenges, however, continue to be on the supply side, as we expect the semiconductor shortage to sustain during the festive period," he added.The company's product launches however remain unchanged and it will bring in the much awaited EQS luxury sedan this festive period both in its AMG and series versions, Schwenk noted.Echoing similar sentiments, Audi India said the demand in the last few months has grown steadily and the carmaker expects this to continue in the period ahead."We are working relentlessly with our HQ to get additional allocations for India, to fulfil this growing demand," Audi India Head Balbir Singh Dhillon stated. Having said that, one cannot disregard the fact that waiting period for company cars have gone up owing to demand and supply mismatch, he added."It is also important to mention that the prevailing global challenges are not only impacting adequate supply of new cars, but also instilling a pressure on the prices," Dhillon stated.The company expects good growth on the back of sustained demand models like A4, A6, Q5,Q7 and Q8, he added. Besides, it expects the recently launched A8 L and new Q3 to also witness strong pull during the period this year.Currently, luxury car volumes account for less than 2 per cent of the overall passenger vehicle sales annually and the sector has been more or less at the same level for the past decade.Luxury models in India attract the top GST slab of 28 per cent with an additional cess of 20 per cent on sedans and 22 per cent on SUVs, taking the total tax incidence to up to 50 per cent.

Rahul Gandhi met some wrestlers in Haryana's Jhajjar district on Wednesday.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 10:11 AM (IST)
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with wrestler Bajrang Punia and other wrestlers at Chhara village, in Jhajjar district. ( Image Source : PTI )Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who met some wrestlers in Haryana's Jhajjar district on Wednesday, shared a video of his interaction on Thursday. During his interactions with the grapplers, the Wayanad MP discussed the issue pertaining to their demand for action against Singh who has been accused of sexual harassment and wrestler Bajrang Punia's announcement of returning his Padma Shri award.During his visit to the 'akhara', Gandhi alo tried his hand at wrestling. Sharing the around-seven-minute-long video clip on X, the Congress leader said, "Misbehaving with talented daughters of the country, betrayal of sportspersons who made the country proud, what kind of tradition is the BJP setting? Dignity and respect, that is all India's wrestlers ask for."अब होगा ‘न्याय का दंगल’!भारत की होनहार बेटियों के साथ दुर्व्यवहार, देश का गौरव बढ़ाने वाले खिलाड़ियों को धोखा - BJP क्या ये विरासत दे रही है देश को।स्वाभिमान और सम्मान - भारत के पहलवानों की बस इतनी सी मांग है। pic.twitter.com/pFveDY6bb9
Last week, Punia announced returning his Padma Shri award in protest against the election of Sanjay Singh, a loyalist of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, as the president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). On Tuesday, Vinesh Phogat also decided to return her Arjuna Award and Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna.In the video, Punia can be heard saying that if the sisters and daughters are not safe, then what will he do with the awards."I didn't feel like keeping it. If our sisters and daughters are not safe, what will I do with the awards... Wrestling has given us everything. If its future is not safe, there is no point," Punia said. Punia and coach Arya Virendra Dalal said that the voice against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was raised in 2012 and 2014 as well, but no action was taken then."No one had the courage to raise a voice against Brij Bhushan Singh.

Shubman Gill of India bats during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup India 2023 match between India and New Zealand at HPCA Stadium on October 22, 2023 in Dharamsala, India. ( Image Source : Getty Images )Shubman Gill has made history by becoming the fastest batter to reach the 2000-run mark in ODI cricket. He achieved the feat while representing Team India. He accomplished this remarkable milestone in just 38 innings, surpassing the previous record held by former South African opener Hashim Amla, who achieved the feat in 40 innings for the Proteas.Gill's latest achievement comes on the back of his stellar performance in the previous match, where he scored his maiden half-century in the competition, contributing 54 runs to give India a strong start in a challenging chase at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune. Gill got out for 26 off 31 against the Kiwis.Gill won the ICC Men's Player of the Month for September 2023 Throughout this year, the opening batsman has displayed exceptional form, amassing 1300 runs in 22 innings in 2023. He has notched up five half-centuries and as many centuries during this period and is considered a key player for the Indian team in the ongoing competition. His exceptional form won him the ICC Men's Player of the Month award for September 2023.Prior to the match against Bangladesh, Gill emphasised the importance of maintaining a stable mindset and adhering to the basics to achieve success in the quadrennial tournament. He shared his thoughts before the game, stating, “It is very important to stick to my basics and do what I regularly do, especially leading up to the match. Have a good mindset and that is what I am doing."He also added, "Experience was great, played my first match against Pakistan. It was a big match for us. We have the right momentum with us, hopefully we can keep it going."As far as the ongoing clash between India and New Zealand in Dharamsala is concerned, Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to field first, putting New Zealand, led by Tom Latham, in to bat. New Zealand faced a rocky start as Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami claimed a wicket each, limiting New Zealand to just 34 runs in their first 10 overs.However, a resilient partnership between Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell helped New Zealand recover from their early troubles, with Mitchell achieving his 5th ODI century.

BGMI also received new enhancements, including the addition of a new tropical map called 'Nusa'.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 05 Sep 2023 03:08 PM (IST)
"As an artist, I find gaming to be an extension of my creative expression," said Ranveer Singh. ( Image Source : Krafton )Krafton, the developer of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), has revealed Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh as the official brand ambassador for the popular mobile game. This announcement comes after much anticipation and speculation, with a 15-second teaser video teasing the collaboration shared on YouTube. The teaser video serves as a precursor to the upcoming "Play Pure" campaign, set to launch in the near future. Krafton had previously hinted at a Bollywood actor collaboration during a media conference held on August 31 but had kept the actor's identity under wraps until now. Singh will step into the shoes of Rajkummar Rao, who had earlier collaborated with Krafton last year. Commenting on the collaboration, Singh said, "As an artist, I find gaming to be an extension of my creative expression. The dedication, the competitiveness, the camaraderie and the team spirit in the gaming world resonate with me deeply. BGMI has evolved into a cultural phenomenon by creating a platform that brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds, transcending borders through their shared passion for gaming. I am thrilled to be part of this journey and look forward to exciting interactions with the Indian gaming community.""We are elated to welcome Superstar Ranveer Singh to the BGMI family. His magnetic persona and unrelenting spirit align seamlessly with the essence of BGMI," said Krafton India CEO Sean Hyunil Sohn.

This collaboration opens up a new avenue to bring exciting and engaging content that will resonate with gaming enthusiasts across the nation. Stay tuned as we embark on a new era of gaming entertainment."Krafton has been actively working to promote BGMI in India since its re-launch in May, following a government ban last year due to security concerns. To address concerns about gaming addiction, the company introduced measures such as restricting daily playtime to three hours for users under 18 and six hours for others. Parental controls and spending limits for minors were also implemented. In addition, Krafton rewarded BGMI fans with four free and permanent reward outfits.Furthermore, BGMI received enhancements, including the addition of a new tropical map called 'Nusa' featuring abundant supplies, elevators, blazing huts, tactical crossbows, and ziplines. The introduction of the 'Super Recall' feature allows players who meet an untimely demise to swiftly rejoin the battlefield in both single and duo modes.As Krafton continues to invest in BGMI's development and popularity in India, the collaboration with Ranveer Singh as the official brand ambassador is expected to further cement the game's position in the hearts of Indian gamers.

Houthi rebels have targeted vessels in the crucial Red Sea shipping lane, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza. However, on Thursday, US intercepted a drone and an anti-ship ballistic missile.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 08:12 AM (IST)
The Houthi rebels has frequently targeted vessels in the crucial Red Sea shipping lane. ( Image Source : Representational Image/Getty )The United States on Thursday intercepted a drone and an anti-ship ballistic missile launched by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, as reported by AFP. The militant group has frequently targeted vessels in the crucial Red Sea shipping lane, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza.In a statement, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that the USS Mason (DDG 87), a guided-missile destroyer, successfully shot down both the drone and the anti-ship ballistic missile in the Southern Red Sea. CENTCOM noted that none of the 18 ships in the vicinity suffered damage, and there were no reported injuries. This incident marks the 22nd attempted attack on international shipping by the Huthis since mid-October.This development follows a day after the US military forces thwarted more than a dozen attack drones and several missiles fired by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, as disclosed by the Pentagon on Tuesday. The US Central Command reported no injuries during that particular incident.ALSO READ: US Shoots Down Multiple Drones, Missiles Fired By Houthis Over Red SeaAccording to the AFP report, these attacks pose a threat to a transit route responsible for transporting up to 12 percent of global trade. In response, the United States established a multinational naval task force earlier in the month to safeguard shipping in the Red Sea. The Houthi rebels claim responsibility for these attacks, asserting that they target vessels associated with Israel or Israeli interests, aiming to apply pressure to cease the offensive in the Gaza Strip.The recent escalation in the Israel-Hamas conflict began with a surprise cross-border attack by the Palestinian militant group from Gaza on October 7. This attack resulted in the death of approximately 1,140 people, predominantly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on figures provided by Israel. Subsequently, the US swiftly provided military aid to Israel, which has conducted extensive attacks in Gaza, resulting in the reported deaths of at least 21,320 people, mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry, as per AFP.These deaths have sparked widespread outrage across the Middle East, serving as a catalyst for armed groups opposing Israel to intensify their attacks.

Robust cybersecurity measures help prevent unauthorized access, tampering, and manipulation of these systems, minimizing the potential for disruptions and physical damage.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 16 Aug 2023 05:08 PM (IST)
Many countries have regulations and standards in place that mandate certain levels of cybersecurity for critical infrastructure operators. ( Image Source : Getty )By Zakir HussainCybersecurity plays a paramount role in protecting critical infrastructure, which comprises the essential systems and assets that are vital for a country's security, economy and public well-being. It is important for sectors including energy, water, transportation, healthcare, finance, communication, and more. As these sectors become increasingly interconnected and reliant on digital technologies, the importance of cybersecurity in critical infrastructure protection becomes even more pronounced. Critical infrastructure systems are often interconnected and controlled by digital systems. A cyberattack could disrupt essential services, damage equipment, and even cause physical harm. Robust cybersecurity measures help prevent unauthorized access, tampering, and manipulation of these systems, minimizing the potential for disruptions and physical damage. Cyber threats pose operational risks to critical infrastructure. Effective cybersecurity helps identify vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors, allowing organizations to implement proactive measures to mitigate these risks. This includes continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response planning.Critical infrastructure systems often process and store sensitive data, including personal information, financial data, and operational details. Cybersecurity safeguards this data from theft, unauthorized access, or exposure, preventing potential breaches that could lead to identity theft, fraud, or other malicious activities. Many critical infrastructure sectors directly impact public safety. For instance, transportation systems, emergency services, and healthcare facilities rely on digital systems. A cyber incident could compromise the safety of citizens. Robust cybersecurity practices ensure these systems are resilient and capable of maintaining public safety, even in the face of cyber threats. The disruption of critical infrastructure can have significant economic consequences. Downtime, lost productivity, and the cost of recovery can impact a country's economic stability. By implementing cybersecurity measures, organizations can reduce the likelihood of cyber incidents that lead to operational disruptions and financial losses.Many countries have regulations and standards in place that mandate certain levels of cybersecurity for critical infrastructure operators. Adhering to these requirements ensures that essential services are delivered securely and reliably. Public confidence in critical infrastructure systems is crucial. Any breach or cyber incident could erode trust in these systems, leading to panic and reduced usage. Implementing effective cybersecurity measures helps maintain public trust by demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding these critical services.In conclusion, as critical infrastructure becomes more digitized and interconnected, the role of cybersecurity in protecting these essential sectors becomes increasingly vital. Implementing robust cybersecurity measures helps prevent disruptions, ensures public safety, protects sensitive data, and contributes to economic stability and national security. It's essential for governments, organizations, and individuals to work collaboratively to address the evolving cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure.(The author is the CEO of BD Software Distribution Pvt.

The gaming industry has written to the PMO, MeitY, and I&B Ministry asking them to make a clearer distinction between video games and real-money/fantasy games.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Jul 2023 04:26 PM (IST)
The video game industry said that due to the usage of an overly broad term like “Online Games” different industries are unjustly clubbed together, leading to widespread confusion. ( Image Source : Getty )A consortium of more than 45 Indian video game companies requested government clarification on GST exemption for video games. This comes after Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra on Tuesday said that the 28 per cent GST rate is not applicable to "recreational games." The Goods and Service Tax (GST) Council in its 50th meeting last week decided to impose 28 per cent GST on online gaming, horse racing, and casinos. The Council is scheduled to meet on August 2 to make a conclusive decision on the issue. Meanwhile, the gaming industry has written to the PMO, MeitY, and I&B Ministry asking them to make a clearer distinction between video games and real-money/fantasy games."The government's decision applies only to Real Money Games and Fantasy Sports, as it involves 'users staking money for winning cash rewards based on the outcome of the game.' Video games do not have a staking/wagering element and are thus excluded from the 28 per cent GST bracket," industry leaders said in the statement. Adding that the Indian video games industry (valued at $812 million as of 2022) is unaffected by the recent developments on the GST as these sectors continue to be taxed at 18 per cent and supported by the government through the planned AVGC-XR Policy. Anurag Khurana, CEO and founder of Penta Esports said, "While the revised GST of 28 per cent will be levied on 'Online Games', it certainly does not apply to esports. It should be made clear that the 28 per cent GST is for games which involve staking/wagering of money. Esports inherently does not involve any form of the staking/wagering elements and hence has no impact." ALSO READ: Online Gaming GST FAQs: Are Any Games Exempt From 28% Tax? How Will It Impact Players’ Wins? All Your Questions AnsweredOn Tuesday, in an interview with NDTV Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra said, "There is a lack of communication. We are not taxing recreational games. Where there is no money involved, taxes will remain at 18 per cent."In the letter to the government, the video game companies said, "Regardless of clear statements from the Government following the GST row, there are campaigns that associate Real Money Games (RMG) and Fantasy Sports with Video Games and Esports, both in front of domestic and international media as well as gamers. These campaigns project a homogenous image and suggest that the entire games industry of India is adversely affected by the Government’s imposition of 28 per cent GST."They said that due to the usage of an overly broad term like “Online Games” different industries are unjustly clubbed together, leading to widespread confusion."Globally, irrespective of skill or chance a clear distinction is drawn between games involving wagering (categorised as 'iGaming') and games without wagering (categorised as 'Video Games'). Unfortunately, in India, these mutually exclusive categories have been consolidated under the common umbrella of Online Games," the companies further said. The statement added that this confusion has resulted in a negative perception of video games associated with monetary wagering, leading international companies to hesitate in investing in Indian video game firms due to regulatory uncertainty.Also Read: Online Gaming Tax: GST Council Said To Meet On August 2 Over Gaming, Casino, Horse RacingThe companies have requested a meeting with the government to share their views of the Video Games industry in detail. "Our earnest desire is to actively engage in a dialogue to work with the regulators to establish policies that recognise the unique characteristics of Video Games, promote investor confidence, and enable a safe and secure ecosystem for Indian gamers engaging in interactive entertainment arts," the letter said. Biprajyoti Chakraborty, Co-Founder at DIOSC Gaming said, "In a country like India where video gamers are still very young and new, it is really important for the government to clarify the necessary laws and rules associated with it to create a sustainable environment for the industry to thrive. Misinformation and unclear rules & regulations can lead to the destruction of the Indian gaming industry which has the potential of becoming the industry leader in game production."

Pakistan's chief selector, Inzamam ul Haq did not take part in the meeting due to a medical emergency.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 21 Sep 2023 11:21 PM (IST)

( Image Source : Twitter/@TheRealPCB )Pakistan Cricket Board will soon be declaring their squad for the upcoming 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup after a review meeting of its recent Asia Cup performance, said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday. The Men in Green came out to play the Asia Cup 2023 with the tag of being a top-ranked ODI side but then they could not manage to reach the final after they lost the game against Sri Lanka. The PCB management met with Pakistan's team coaching staff led by Mickey Arthur, captain Babar Azam, vice-captain Shadab Khan, and former captains Misbah ul Haq and Mohammad Hafeez to assess the side’s performance in the Asia Cup 2023 on Wednesday evening.Pakistan's chief selector, Inzamam ul Haq did not take part in the meeting due to a medical emergency but then he met Ashraf on Thursday afternoon and shared his insights. After the review meeting, Inzamam has decided the Pakistan squad for the mega event which will be announced on Friday morning in a press conference to be organised at Gaddafi Stadium."I am glad we had a good positive review session and are on the same page. We are confident that the experience gained in the Asia Cup was a learning curve and will help prepare for the ICC Men's World Cup."Our team is filled with talent, and we believe they have the capability to compete and win at the highest level. We have world-class batters and bowlers and are committed to providing them with the necessary support and resources to ensure they are well-equipped ahead of the mega event,” said Ashraf in a statement.Head coach Grant Bradburn, batting coach Andrew Puttick, and bowling coach Morne Morkel were also asked to join the meeting in order to report on the team’s recent performance. The meeting was also graced by Dr Sohail Saleem to brief about players’ injuries and the way forward for players' rehabilitation programs."The philosophy behind this review was to create an atmosphere of open discussion and develop consensus. The idea is to have everyone on board and debate about performances, identifying the problems and their solutions. We have to debate strengths and weaknesses so that we are clear about what and where we need to invest for the betterment of our team."Discussion revealed that the previous management had allowed a lot of players to play league cricket which caused them to fatigued ahead of their national duty.

Global warming: The annual average temperature shifted 1.1 to 1.2 degrees above pre-industrial levels which were measured between 1850 and 1900, revealed EU satellite data.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 11 Jan 2022 04:23 PM (IST)
Signage warns of extreme heat danger at the salt flats of Badwater Basin inside Death Valley National Park on June 17, 2021 in Inyo County, California | Photo: AFPNew Delhi: Amid calls for climate crisis action, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has revealed some shocking details. Data released by the EU satellite system reveals that 2021 was the fifth warmest year, with some areas receiving record-breaking heat. What adds to the concern is the fact that the amount of warming gases in the environment, such as carbon dioxide and methane, is just increasing.The Copernicus Data is derived from the constellation of Sentinel Satellites that are present to monitor Earth from its orbit along with the measurements taken at the ground level.The last seven years were the warmest on record, with 2021 5th but with a small margin to 2015 and 2018.

The year 2021 was warmer than 2015 and 2018 by a little margin, making it the fifth-hottest year on record, according to the Copernicus Data. Taken together, the agency further explained, the past seven years were the hottest by a clear margin. The annual average temperature had shifted 1.1 to 1.2 above pre-industrial levels, which were measured between 1850 and 1900, revealed C3S.The agency also said that the beginning of the year had relatively low temperatures as compared to recent years, but from June onwards the temperatures had started to rise and the monthly temperatures were at least among the warmest four recorded. This has been the case despite the cooling effects of the La Nina.The impact of climate change is being witnessed all over the globe with Europe experiencing its warmest summer to date. The temperature records in the western US and Canada, Africa, and the Middle East also broke by several degrees. “These events are a stark reminder of the need to change our ways, take decisive and effective steps toward a sustainable society and work towards reducing net carbon emissions,” a BBC report quoted Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, as saying.C3S further explained that the concentration of two gasses contributes to climate change, which aggravated in 2021. The carbon dioxide concentrations have reached 414.3 parts per million in 2021. But the methane concentrations increased even more to an unprecedented 1,876 parts per billion, approximately. Scientists have revealed that it is more important to reduce methane concentration in the environment as it is more potent than carbon dioxide.Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentrations have continued to rise in 2021 . This preliminary analysis of satellite data, shows that the methane growth rate was particularly high.
