Harbhajan Singh was shocked to see the squad and took to his social media handle to express his disappointment.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 05 Sep 2023 06:26 PM (IST)
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh was shocked to see India's squad for the World Cup. ( Image Source : Getty )Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh was surprised to see the exclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal from the Indian squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup. On Tuesday, the BCCI announced the 15-member Indian team for the 50-over World Cup slated to take place in India. Apart from Chahal, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was also ignored from the squad. Harbhajan Singh was shocked to see the squad and took to his social media handle to express his disappointment."Surprised not to see Yuzvendra Chahal in the World Cup squad for Team India. pure Match winner," Harbhajan said.Surprise not to see @yuzi_chahal in the World Cup squad for Team India. pure Match winner
India's young batter Tilak Varma, pacer Prasidh Krishna, and wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson are the other big names who failed to make a cut to the Indian squad. Rohit Sharma will be leading the side while the star all-rounder Hardik Pandya named as the vice-captain. Post the team selection, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said that there were no surprise eliminations made in the team."There are no surprises and you can get only 15 in. Some of the guys will be disappointed. I have gone through it and I know how it feels. We have good all-round options and this is best 15 we could get," Sharma said."I have not thought about plans yet. Problem of plenty is a good problem to have. We have to see who is in form and who our opposition is. We need to see what the best possible combination could be. If someone misses out, then so be it. This keeps happening. You have to make tough calls for the team," he further added.It has been a while since Chahal and Ashwin have been out of favour from the ODI squad. While Chahal is usually under consideration in the T20I format while Ashwin is a permanent name in the Test team.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 HappenedManipur to Mumbai: Eyes On 2024, Rahul To Lead 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' From Jan 14.

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav won hearts by accepting that he has performed badly in ODIs and has no shame in accepting it.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 09 Aug 2023 11:52 AM (IST)
Suryakumar Yadav won player of the match award for his batting heroics in India vs West Indies 3rd T20I. ( Image Source : PTI )IND vs WI: Team India's star middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav has established himself as one of the best T20 batters of modern-day cricket. For almost a year, the right-hander has maintained his healthy lead at the top of the T20I rankings for batters but his form in One-Day-Internationals has been pretty ordinary. Suryakumar has so far scored 511 runs with an average of just 24.33 in 26 ODI matches for India, with just two half-centuries, compared to 14 fifties and three tons in 51 T20Is. In his latest international outing, Suryakumar won player of the match award for his fiery knock (44-balls 83) that helped India beat West Indies in 3rd T20I, keeping the visitors alive in five-match T20I series.What any star cricketer would rarely do, Suryakumar won hearts by accepting that he has performed badly in ODIs and has no shame in accepting it."To be very honest, my one-day numbers are absolutely bad and there's no shame in admitting that. We all talk about honesty and you have to be, but how you can improve is more important. Rohit (Sharma) and Rahul (Dravid) sir have told me that this is the format that I do not play much so you have to play it more and think about it. If you are batting in the last 10-15 overs, think about what you can do for the team. It is in my hand now how to change the responsibility into an opportunity," Suryakumar Yadav said during post-match press conference after India's 7-wicket win.Surya's latest innings against West Indies in the 'do-or-die' match might have raised his chances of bagging a spot in India's ODI World Cup 2023 squad.Speaking about his ordinary form in ODIs, Surya said, "We have played a lot of T201s, so it's become a habit. We play T20 regularly, and all we need to do is express ourselves. But we do not play a lot of one-dayers, and ODI is a challenging format. This is because you have to bat as per the situation. For example, if wickets fall early, then you need to spend time in the middle (play like Test cricket), then in the middle play run a ball, and then towards the end, approach it like a T20 game.""Now whatever the team management has told me that I am following and trying to apply in ODI cricket, to take my time, and then play my game." he said.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.

ENG vs NED HIGHLIGHTS, World Cup 2023: England finally seemed to arrive at this tournament, long after the qualification for semis boat had sunk.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 08 Nov 2023 09:33 PM (IST)
Ben Stokes of England celebrates his century during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup India 2023 between England and Netherlands at MCA International Stadium on November 08, 2023 in Pune, India. ( Image Source : Getty )England beat Netherlands by 160 runs in match number 40 of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. The Three Lions whose title defence had already come to an end with them having no chance of entering the knockout stage after having lost six of their first seven matches did come to the party at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune where they finally had the result going their way.After winning the toss and electing to bat first, it looked like it would be another close game when the Dutch had the Englishmen down to 192/6 in the 36th over. However, that wasn't to be as Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes put on 129 runs for the seventh wicket in 89 balls to make sure they end up with a competitive total. Stokes slammed a hundred (108 off 84) while Woakes made 51 off 45 as England made 339/9.In response, the Dutch, never really got going and were eventually bundled out for 179 with Moeen Ali (3/42) and Adil Rashid (3/54) being the pick of the bowlers for the Jos Buttler-led side. David Willey picked 2 for 19 off his 7 overs while Woakes picked 1 for 19 after his heroics with the bat to give England fans some respite as they still have a Champions Trophy place to play. Their win has taken them straight to the seventh position which is where they need to be to ensure they qualify for that ICC tournament scheduled to happen in 2025 in Pakistan.🏴 Back to winning ways! 🏴Well played, lads 👏 #EnglandCricket | #CWC23 pic.twitter.com/AGKtrhAo0U
The Men in Orange, meanwhile, move to the last place in the ten-team table and become the latest team to get officialy knocked out of the race to the semis. Even though they have the same number of points as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and England, their net run rate is the worst standing at -1.635.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.

Your health depends to a great extent on what you eat in the morning. Let's know what experts say about this.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 17 Sep 2021 02:45 PM (IST)
chai_featureNew Delhi: What you eat on empty stomach in the morning has a huge impact on your health. When you eat anything after an overnight break, it has a direct impact on your health. This is especially for people whose day doesn't start without tea or coffee. Avoid these things in addition to tea, coffee or caffeine.Caffeine Loss –When you have tea or coffee on empty stomach, it is very likely to increase acidity. When acidity increases, the amount of hydrochloric acid increases, so don't have tea or coffee or any other carbonated drink when you wake up in the morning.Alcohol –Alcohol damages if taken in large quantities at any time, but in the morning, even its small amount is enough to cause problems. The alcohol taken at this time is rapidly mixed with blood to reach all organs of the body and damages kidneys, lungs and liver.Bubble gum –Eating bubble gum in morning is also not a good habit. Chewing it makes your digestive system develop more acid which damages the lining of the stomach.Don't even do shopping –It sounds little strange but the logic behind it is absolutely right. When you go shopping on an empty stomach, you do too much shopping, as well as you purchase those food products that are not needed. Actually, when you are hungry, you are unable to think sensibly.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.

International Youth Day 2023: Traditionally associated with older adults, there is a concerning rise in cardiovascular disease risk factors and occurrences among today's youth.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 12 Aug 2023 07:00 AM (IST)
Sedentary lifestyle, poor dietary habits, stress and inadequate physical education are impacting cardiovascular health ( Image Source : Getty )(Written by Dr Abhishek Gupta, Assistant Professor of Adult Cardiology at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad)International Youth Day 2023: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have traditionally been associated with ageing populations. However, there is a growing concern regarding the prevalence of CVD risk factors and manifestations among today's youth. Sedentary lifestyle, poor dietary habits, obesity, smoking, substance abuse, stress, and inadequate physical education are impacting cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, and stroke, are the leading cause of mortality worldwide.The aim of this article is to shed light on the cardiovascular health challenges faced by young individuals and their implications for public health.Modern technology and societal changes have contributed to sedentary lifestyles among youth. Prolonged periods of sitting and reduced physical activity have been linked to increased body weight, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and endothelial dysfunction. These factors collectively contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and the early onset of CVDs.Unhealthy dietary patterns, characterised by high intakes of processed foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, and saturated and trans fats, have become prevalent among today's youth. Such diets are associated with obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. These metabolic abnormalities further amplify the risk of CVDs in early adulthood.The global obesity epidemic has reached alarming proportions, affecting both developed and developing nations. Childhood obesity, in particular, has risen significantly. Obese children are at a higher risk of developing CVDs, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The adverse cardiometabolic effects of obesity often persist into adulthood, further exacerbating the burden of CVDs.Tobacco use remains a major preventable cause of CVDs. Smoking in youth is associated with endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, accelerated atherosclerosis, and an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Furthermore, substance abuse, including alcohol and illicit drugs, poses additional cardiovascular risks, such as arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, and infectious endocarditis.Psychosocial stressors, such as academic pressure, social media influence, and family conflicts, are prevalent in the lives of many young individuals. Chronic stress activates the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and inflammation. Prolonged exposure to stress can contribute to the development of hypertension, atherosclerosis, and adverse cardiac events.Reduced emphasis on physical education in schools has resulted in limited opportunities for structured physical activity among youth. Inadequate physical education programmes contribute to reduced cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and endurance. This, in turn, increases the risk of obesity, metabolic abnormalities, and CVDs in young individuals.Excessive screen time, including television, computer, and smartphone use, has become a significant health concern. Increased screen time is associated with sedentary behaviour, decreased physical activity, and unhealthy snacking habits, all of which can negatively impact cardiovascular health.Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive approach involving parents, schools, healthcare professionals, and policymakers. Strategies may include promoting healthy eating habits, increasing opportunities for physical activity, implementing comprehensive physical education programmes, educating youth about the risks of smoking and substance abuse, and promoting stress management techniques. By addressing these challenges early on, we can help improve cardiovascular health outcomes among today's youth.(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 CalculatorZombie Deer Disease Found In Many US Animals, Scientists Worried Of Potential Spread To Humans.

Internet sensation Orry, aka Orhan Awatramani, who knows almost everyone from Bollywood, recently held a Reddit AMA session and answered questions about many celebrities.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Dec 2023 05:23 PM (IST)
Orry, aka Orhan Awatramani, who knows almost everyone from Bollywood, recently held a Reddit AMA session ( Image Source : Instagram/@orry1 )New Delhi: Internet sensation Orry, aka Orhan Awatramani, who knows almost everyone from Bollywood, recently held a Reddit AMA session and answered questions about many celebrities. When asked about the rudest celebrity, Orry took Shruti Haasan’s name and also called Jacqueline Fernandez the most genuine person in the industry. He was asked, “Hi Orry has there been a celebrity who has shown you an unnecessary attitude while posing for a photo?? If you can’t take a name just give hints..” Orry replied, “Shruti Hasan. Not for posing cause I never asked her, but she was very, very rude to me at an event that I had actually got her into and I don’t even know her! Felt very bad, but there was probably some misunderstanding cause I am good with her husband and I adore him. This will get sorted out in time. However, I heard from the rumour mill she called me a ‘Pune’ like a spot boy or smth.” When asked about “the most pretentious and most genuine person in industry?” Orry replied, “That random miss universe who’s name I can’t remember .. and most genuine, Jacky, doesn’t have a mean bone in her body.” Orry on Sara Ali KhanOrry also spoke about his ‘equation with Sara’. He said, “Let me tell you something about Sara Ali Khan, we were best friends in college 🤢ew🤮I know right ? And then suddenly we drifted apart over night after we graduated .. but suddenly came back together during lock down where we were attached by the hip and people would say ‘inseparable’.. shortly after I moved to the UK to farm (yes that’s true) and she stayed in India to pursue her career in acting… and I guess when I came back we were both different people with different motivations and ambitions, on different wavelengths but 100% still dear old friends. There has never been a phone call that she has not picked up of mine and vice versa.” Janhvi Kapoor is Orry's closest friend from the industryHe called Janhvi Kapoor his closest friend from the industry. “My closet from the industry is Janhvi Kapoor, I think JK has part timer as my therapist, my advisor, my teacher, my guru, my life coach, my cheerleader, my support system, etc etc she has always been the real deal to me. Says it how it is and says it with love. There was a time 3 years ago, I hit a very dark rock bottom in my life, and I kid you not, this girl has sat with me on the phone (we were in different countries) and baby sat me for days, weeks, months. Between sets, between meals, between sleep. I would have been so traumatised if I was her, but she is such a strong girl, the life raft of my life. I would not be where I am, or even how happy I am if JK did not have my back, back then and today. I may sound like a suck up/a fan/or even a minion, but idgaf credit where credit is due dude. There has not been a moment I have been conscious, scared, embarrassed to share any detail of my life with her, no matter how low or humiliating it could be,” he said in the Reddit session. Orry on Nysa DevgnOrry rated her friendship with Ajay Devgn and Kajol’s daughter Nysa 11/10. “11/10. Lots of ppl misunderstand her and jump to conclusions.. and cause she’s so private + no public insta she has no way of shutting down rumours and nonsense .. it must be annoying .. and media lives to tear apart little girls,” he wrote.

( Image Source : PTI )Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chief Swati Maliwal on Thursday wrote to Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar demanding the creation of a separate database of government officials who are accused of crimes against women and children. This comes days after Women and Child Development (WCD) director Premoday Khakha was arrested for allegedly raping a minor girl. On X (formerly known as Twitter), Maliwal said in their inquiry they found that three cases are already going on in the High Court against the rape-accused WCD officer. Hence, she sent her suggestions to the Chief Secretary of Delhi to ensure no such incident takes place in the future.हमारी इनक्वायरी में पाया गया कि बलात्कार आरोपी WCD ऑफिसर के ख़िलाफ़ पहले से तीन मामले हाई कोर्ट में चल रहे है। इस घटना और भविष्य में ऐसी घटनाएँ ना हों उसके लिए दिल्ली के मुख्य सचिव को सुझाव भेजे हैं। 1. आरोपी अफ़सर को Terminate किया जाए, महज़ suspension काफ़ी नहीं 2. सभी ऐसे… pic.twitter.com/zk4u5NmxxU
In her letter to Kumar, Maliwal said the panel had issued a notice to the Department of Women and Child Development and Delhi Police over the incident.She said, "The commission has been informed that four complaints regarding sexual harassment at the workplace were lodged against the accused person earlier. It is learnt that three complaints were submitted by three separate women while the fourth complaint was anonymous. All three complainants approached the High Court of Delhi.”The letter also mentioned that one of the applications was disposed of by the high court as the remaining two are pending.Maliwal also wrote, "It appears that the accused might be a serial offender and it's scary to imagine the access he had to women and children at large, having been posted in the sensitive department of Women and Child Development.”Notably, Maliwal recommended that the accused "needs to be terminated with immediate effect". She further said a database of government officials accused of crimes against women and children should be created irrespective of the nature and status of the complaints.In the letter, she said, "This database should also be shared with the Delhi Commission for Women. All these past and pending complaints should be re-examined by a committee of senior most officers and gender experts, and a decision should be taken on every officer as to whether the concerned person is fit to be posted in sensitive departments like the Women and Child Development, Social Welfare, Education...where they may have access to women and girls at large.”She also said all such databases of all officers with crimes against women and children should also be shared regularly with the commission along with the decision taken in each of the cases.Meanwhile, she also demanded that the government should set up a new robust Internal Complaints Committee under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act with more external experts from leading NGOs working on gender issues.The committee must examine all such pending complaints of sexual harassment at the workplace against officers posted in the Delhi government and submit its report urgently to the government as well as the commission.Thai came after Premoday Khakha was suspended from his post as deputy director in the Women and Child Development (WCD) department following a direction from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal earlier.Khakha is accused of raping a minor girl many times and impregnating her. His wife, Seema Rani, is also accused of giving the girl abortion pills to terminate her pregnancy.'Will Quit Politics If...': Bhagwant Mann Slams BJP's Claim Of CMs' Photos On Punjab, Delhi TableauxBreaking News Live — Mobile Internet Services Restored In Poonch, Rajouri After A Week'Why Does Narendra Modi Hate Muslims': Asaduddin Owaisi On Sunehri Bagh Masjid Demolition ThreatCovid-19 LIVE: India Logs 797 New Cases, Highest In 225 DaysCovid Cases In India: Nation Sees Single-Day Spike Of 797 Infections, 145 JN.1 Patients Diagnosed So FarULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam GovtShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: ReportIndia Has Sent Extradition Request For 26/11 Attack Mastermind Hafiz Saeed: MEA'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>

Max Verstappen echoed Lewis Hamilton's thoughts on the new F1's qualifying format introduced at the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 22 Jul 2023 01:12 PM (IST)
Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing RB19 and Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes and England on the podium after the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 09, 2023 in Northampton, England. ( Image Source : Getty Images )Lewis Hamilton has joined arch rival Max Verstappen in criticizing F1's new qualifying format introduced at the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix. Both the drivers felt it was a shame they couldn't deliver more to the spectators. This is because they had to save tyres and couldn’t drive at full pace which resulted in two tedious practice sessions.F1 has just implemented a new qualification format. Each team will be issued 11 sets of tyres, 4+3+3 of soft, medium and hard compound and must use each compound at least once during the Grand Prix weekend. Although it was originally scheduled for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, it was then moved to the Hungaroring because of the cancellation of the Imola event due to flooding in the region.Also on ABP Live | Hungarian Grand Prix 2023 Live Streaming, Teams, Date, Schedule - All You Need To KnowThe first and second practice sessions on Friday clearly demonstrated how the new rule has affected the drivers and their pace. There were no fast outlaps or aggressive pushes which was done mostly to preserve the tyres compounds for Qualification sessions. As the practice sessions were tedious, Hamilton and Verstappen recognized that it had been a tough day for spectators attending the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring circuit.Verstappen and Hamilton React Negatively to the New Rule Change In a post-practice interview, the seven-time world champion stated, according to Mercedes AMG News, "It wasn't a very good format this weekend. They limited our running on the track, which drew the attention of the spectators. They throw a lot of wet tyres following racing weekends; perhaps they should investigate."The British driver finished a lowly 16th in FP2 While the two-time world champion and current championship leader said in the post-practice interview, "We had some limitations due to the new qualifying format, so we didn’t want to waste too many sets of tyres to get ready for tomorrow. That’s a shame because so many people were in the grandstands, and we didn’t give them much away." The Dutch driver finished an out of form P11 in FP2. The New F1 Qualification RuleTeams are limited in the compounds they can utilize in dry circumstances during qualifying. Teams must employ the hard compound during Q1, the medium compound during Q2, and the soft compound during Q3. F1 and Pirelli, the sole tyre supplier for all F1 teams, are calling this the "Alternative Tyre Allocation" system.If race officials deem track conditions to be "wet", teams have their choice of compounds.As per reports, Pirelli and F1 have introduced this new ruling in order to reduce the number of tyre sets brought into the race weekend. This is being done to reduce the burden on the logistics team and to reach F1’s carbon neutral goals.IND vs SA 1st Test Live: India Nears 250-Mark, Currently At 245/9 After 67 OversVirat Kohli To Neeraj Chopra: Indian Athletes Who Brought Us Joy In 2023'Spare 5 Minutes To...': Vinesh Phogat Tells PM Modi She Will Return Return Arjuna AwardBBL 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 StartMamata Banerjee To Skip Ram Temple Event On Jan 22: ReportManipur to Mumbai: Eyes On 2024, Rahul To Lead 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' From Jan 14.

Shah Rukh Khan said the whole 2023 was the best for him. ( Image Source : Getty Images )New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who reclaimed his 'King of Bollywood' title in 2023 with three consecutive hits in "Pathaan", "Jawan" and "Dunki", on Wednesday said the whole year was the best for him.The actor held an #AskSRK session with his fans on X as the comedy-drama completed a week of its release.

The growth of E-rickshaws on Indian roads back the upward trajectory in the acceptance of EVs for the overall public good.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Ajay Kumar | Updated at : 11 Jul 2023 09:40 AM (IST)
A typical E-rickshaw uses four rechargeable lead-acid batteries which last six-to-eight months. ( Image Source : Getty Images )The world at present is looking for a future that is free from the environmental chaos it is dealing with now. The environment is the key through which the gate to a sustainable future can be unlocked. A lot of damage to the climate has already been done and every effort to restore it are now invaluable. India is attempting to lead the change by cutting its carbon emission, going electric, and fuelling its wheels on ethanol rather than petroleum outputs. Cashing in on the revolution, E-rickshaws arrived as a cheap-and-clean mode of mobility in the country addressing various issues at once. The change is massive but it took years, and today the streets of the national capital are abuzz with these three-wheelers. E-rickshaws are also a preferred mode of transport for many. However, it has become important to see how the drivers are dealing with the current development. It is quite known to all that any kind of electric vehicle is not pocket-friendly. The prime reason is the cost of the battery. Since India does not manufacture batteries on its own, every type of E-vehicle in the country is bound to become expensive. However, Central and various State governments, banks and companies have introduced several types of subsidies to help people buy the E-Rickshaws and become a part of the electric revolution in the country.As for price and budget, one can purchase an E-rickshaw for as low as Rs 60,000. However, if the budget allows, one can have a better one (with better fittings and features) for Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 lakhs. Whereas, an E-rickshaw battery can range from Rs 7,000 to Rs 1 lakh (if one chooses a Lithium-ion battery) and comes mostly with a six-month warranty after which it can be sold to registered dealers at half the price. However, the battery still remains the biggest concern — before or after the purchase of the E-rickshaws. ABP Live talked to some of these drivers in Delhi who shared how they manage their E-rickshaw and battery. One of the E-rickshaw drivers, Diman, said that on average, the three-wheeler vehicle travels around 80 kilometres per day, adding that this distance reduces along with the life of the battery. As far as charging is concerned, those who have their houses nearby charge it at their homes while many others use the dedicated parking stations. These stations have charging points for the convenience of E-rickshaw drivers across Delhi-NCR.Interestingly, Shailesh, another E-rickshaw driver, said that he sold his previous battery at 50 per cent cost to the battery dealers.Well, the science behind this is that a typical E-rickshaw uses four rechargeable lead-acid batteries which last six-to-eight months. E-rickshaw drivers said that they sell it afterwards to dealers, who then recycle these in factories. Unlike other metals, lead can be infinitely recycled without loss of quality and hence the e-rickshaw drivers get a fair resale price for this. Some of them told ABP Live that they have nearly fixed their dealers, yet they try to see who can get them a better price.Recently, the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) said it will resume the free E-rickshaw services at Sector 52 metro station of Blue Line of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to allow passengers a smooth change of services from DMRC to NMRC or vice-versa. This has become another reason for commuters to trust these eco-friendly vehicles in the metro city.As part of its aim to penetrate 30 per cent of the vehicle segment with electric vehicles by 2030, and to give a push to the same, the Centre and state governments have initiated various schemes and incentives. For this, under The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 2020 Department of Heavy Industry under the Government of India formulated a Scheme viz. Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) Scheme in the year 2015 to promote the manufacturing of electric and hybrid vehicle technology and to ensure sustainable growth of the same.Under FAME-India Scheme, incentives are provided to buyers of electric vehicles in the form of an upfront reduction in the purchase price of electric vehicles. The incentive is linked to battery capacity i.e. Rs 10,000/kWh for e-3W and e-4W with a cap of 20 per cent of the cost of the vehicle, according to an official release of the Ministry of Heavy Industries.The Government on May 12, 2021, approved a Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the manufacturing of Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) in the country in order to bring down the prices of batteries in the country. A drop in battery price will result in cost reduction of electric vehicles.Also, the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) announced that battery-operated vehicles will be given green license plates and be exempted from permit requirements.The Government of India approved Phase II of the FAME Scheme with an outlay of Rs 10,000 Crore for a period of 3 years commencing from 1st April 2019. As per an official statement, out of total budgetary support, about 86 per cent of the fund has been allocated to Demand Incentive so as to create demand for electric vehicles in the country. This phase aims to generate demand by way of supporting 7,000 Electric Buses (e-bus), and five lakh Electric Three Wheelers (e-3W) among others. This shows the focus continues to remain on an equal proportionate basis on all modes including the E-rickshaws.DelhiIn 2020, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that his government aims to constitute 25 per cent of E-vehicles by 2024. He also announced a subsidy of up to Rs 30,000 subsidy on two-wheelers, up to Rs 1.5 lakh subsidy on Cars, Rs 30,000 subsidy on Auto-rickshaw and Rs 30,000 subsidy on freight vehicles.Apart from these, the announcement followed a separate section for the E-rickshaws. Kejriwal announced a subsidy of up to Rs 30,000 subsidy on E-Rickshaw, a waiver on registration fees and road tax for E-Vehicles. The CM mentioned that 200 public charging stations would be set up for the E-rickshaw drivers, and there will be a scrapping incentive, and low-interest loan on the purchase of E-Vehicles among others.AssamThe Electric Vehicle Policy of Assam, 2021, aims to improve air quality by enabling EVs to contribute to 25 per cent of all new vehicle registrations by 2026. One can get a subsidy of Rs 50,000 for electric three-wheelers. MeghalayaIf one purchases a 3-wheeler EV here, the person can get an incentive of Rs 4,000 per kWh for the first 200 EVs. The ex-factory price of the vehicle should not exceed Rs 5 Lakh. Uttar PradeshSimilarly, the Uttar Pradesh government has also taken a step towards promoting EVs. The Yogi Adityanath-led government announced to exempt road tax and registration fees for three years on the purchase of EVs, effective from October 14, 2022. Notably, the benefit will be extended to EVs manufactured in the state as well, with a validity of five years.As per the Uttar Pradesh Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Mobility Policy 2022, a 100 per cent tax breather will be provided on EVs sold and registered in Uttar Pradesh from October 14, 2022, to October 13, 2025. As per the policy, in the fourth and fifth year of the effective period of the policy, from October 14, 2025, to October 13, 2027, a 100 per cent rebate on EVs manufactured, sold, and registered in the state will be given.A similar kind of rebate is available in many other states and even with municipal bodies across the country.Car loan Information:Calculate Car Loan EMITesla EV Factory In Gujarat Could Change India Market, Musk Expected To Announce It In Jan SummitXiaomi Debuts Its First Car, The All-Electric SU7 Sedan: All You Need To KnowMaruti Jimny To Hyundi Exter: Top SUV Launches Of 2023Tata Curvv EV Expected Range DetailsBest of 2023: Top Facelifted Car LaunchesJD(U) President Lalan Singh Steps Down, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar Likely To Take Over PostStock Market Breaks Rally, Sensex Drops Over 200 Points, Nifty Trading Below 21,800Israeli Soldiers Mistook Cries For 'Help' As 'Deception Attempt' During Gaza Hostage Shooting, Probe Says'Rahul Gandhi Should Become Prime Minister': Karnataka CM Even As Mamata, Kejriwal Pitch For KhargeCanada: Shots Fired At House Of Hindu Temple Chief's Son In Surrey, Probe Launched - Report/body>

Mahatma Gandhi's ideas and philosophies were more geared toward the battle for liberty, which is why he is regarded as the nation's tallest leader of the independence movement.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 24 Sep 2022 10:13 PM (IST)
Golden statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Gandhi Park, Port Blair, South Andaman Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. ( Image Source : Getty )New Delhi: Gandhi Jayanti is an Indian national holiday observed on October 2nd. This day commemorates the birth of the nation's Father, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, often known as Mahatma Gandhi or Bapuji. This day is also known as the International Day of Nonviolence because Gandhiji was a preacher of non-violence and was a symbol peace and honesty.Gandhi Jayanti 2022: Who was Mahatma Gandhi?Gandhi was a pivotal figure in India's liberation struggle. His nonviolent approach supported and inspired various civil rights groups across the world, where he worked to make significant changes in society.Mahatma Gandhi was perhaps the only Indian leader who impacted Indians regardless of their language, caste, or faith. He was a strong supporter of equality and firmly believed in the abolition of casteism, bringing him closer to people from all across India. He so motivated men and women across the country to engage in the independence battle that ladies even gave their mangal sutras to help support the cause.Born on October 2, 1869 in Porbandar, he was always vocal about his patriotism and yearned for a unified India. His ideas and philosophies were more geared toward the battle for liberty, which is why he is regarded as the nation's tallest leader of the independence movement.He then moved to South Africa to study law and launched a statewide campaign for farmers and labourers when he was younger. Among his numerous efforts and battles, he was against caste inequality and advocated for greater women's rights.Meanwhile, he led the Dandi Salt March in 1930 and the Quit India Movement in 1942 in India. These two movements were among the reasons that Britishers were forced to leave India.Gandhi Jayanti 2022: Significance:This particular day is observed throughout the country to honour and pay homage to the Nation's Father. On this day, people recall Gandhi's indispensible contributions to India's independence cause. Furthermore, Gandhi's groundbreaking ideals and ethics of ahimsa and swaraj are recognised by all Indian institutions. His lessons and wisdom are being spread via numerous initiatives by people and organisations aimed at improving our surrounds and the country.Gandhi Jayanti 2022: How it is usually celebrated?Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated throughout India with prayer services and tributes, notably at Gandhi's monument, Raj Ghat, in New Delhi, where he was cremated. Prayer gatherings and commemorative celebrations in many cities by colleges, local government institutions, and socio-political institutions are popular activities. Painting and essay contests are held, and the top awards are given to initiatives in schools and communities that promote a peaceful way of life while also commemorating Gandhi's contribution to the Indian independence cause. Bhajan Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, Gandhi's favourite, is generally performed in his honour.Mahatma Gandhi statues are decked with flowers and garlands around the country, and some individuals refrain from consuming alcohol or eating meat on the day.

Langer revealed the details of the incident between Kohli and Smith which happened before the start of the day's play on Saturday (June 10). ( Image Source : PTI )Former Australia coach Justin Langer is currently working as a commentator for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final being played between India and Australia at the Oval in London on Sunday. Australia's former coach Langer bore witness to and described what he saw as a "magic moment" between Virat Kohli and Steve Smith. He disclosed that he heard Kohli sledging Smith and even the former Australian captain gave an epic response to the right-handed batter.Langer revealed the details of the incident when Kohli was batting during the Indian second innings on Day 4 after they were set a daunting target of 444 runs to win in the fourth innings. Team India started off on the positive note before a controversial decision went in favour of Australia as Cameon Green's catch was deemed clean and Shubman Gill had to walk back out caught on the bowling off Scott Boland. After that a brief little partnership developed between Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara. However, both batters departed in quick succession. Post that though Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane ensured that no further damange is done. It was during this passage of play when Langer was on air that he narrated this incident. As Kohli walked past Smith and Langer before the start of the day's play on Saturday, he made a remark about the way Smith got out on Day 3. However, the ex-Australian opener was surprised by Smith's response."Virat Kohli walked up to Steve Smith and said ‘rubbish shot yesterday’,” Langer said on air on Channel 7. "Steve Smith just looked at him. If anyone else would have said it he would have gone ‘whatever’. But he said, “that’s right, it was a rubbish shot’. If 99.9 per cent of the population said that to Steve Smith he would go ‘whatever’. But coming from Virat, one genius to another, he goes ‘OK, fair enough’," he added.Out Of Favour India Star Rahane's 3-Word Post Goes Viral After India's Crushing Defeat To South AfricaWatch: Mitchell Starc Shares A Beautiful Moment With Young Fan In Boxing Day TestMS Dhoni Advises Fan To 'Go To Pakistan For Good Food', Video Goes ViralIPL 2024: Major 'Knee Injury Update' On CSK Legend MS DhoniWatch: Simon Taufel Explains Why Pat Cummins Was Ruled Out Despite Gap Between Ball And BatULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam Govt'Why Does Narendra Modi Hate Muslims': Asaduddin Owaisi On Sunehri Bagh Masjid Demolition ThreatChhattisgarh CM Sai Allocates Portfolios, Deputy CM Vijay Sharma Gets Home MinistryShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: ReportBreaking News Live — Mobile Internet Services Restored In Poonch, Rajouri After A Week/body>

In an open letter to the governing body of the university, Ashoka University professors have threatened the university administration with faculty exodus, if professor Sabyasachi is not reinstated.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 16 Aug 2023 10:28 PM (IST)
Ashoka University professors write open letter to University's governing body demanding reinstatement of Sabyasachi Das ( Image Source : ashoka.edu.in )Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Ashoka university and one of its Economics professors, another Economics faculty ‘Pulapre Balakrishnan’ has resigned from his position at the university. Besides Balakrishnan, other professors have strengthened their voice demanding the reinstatement of sacked professor Sabyasachi Das. Colleagues of professor Sabyachi have also written a letter to the governing body of the university, demanding the reinstatement of professor Sabyasachi. The professors have also threatened the university administration with faculty exodus, if professor Sabyasachi is not reinstated. Besides Economics, professors from the English and Creative Writing department have also extended solidarity with professors of the Economics department. “The offer of resignation by our colleague Prof. Sabyasachi Das and its hasty acceptance by the University has deeply ruptured the faith that we in the faculty of the department of Economics, our colleagues, our students, and well-wishers of Ashoka University everywhere, had reposed in the University's leadership,” the letter reads. “Prof. Das did not violate any accepted norm of academic practice. Academic research is professionally evaluated through a process of peer review. The Governing Body's interference in this process to investigate the merits of his recent study constitutes institutional harassment, curtails academic freedom, and forces scholars to operate in an environment of fear. We condemn this in the strongest terms and refuse as a collective to cooperate in any future attempt to evaluate the research of individual economics faculty members by the Governing Body,” the letter further adds. Also Read: Watch: TN Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin Calls Teachers and Students To Join Protest Against NEET On Aug 20Notably, professor Sabyasachi Das, a faculty at the Department of Economicas, Ashoka University resigned after his paper titled ‘“Democratic Backsliding in the World’s Largest Democracy“ stirred controversy. Professor Das’ research paper argued that the BJP won a disproportionate share of closely contested parliamentary seats in 2019 Lok Sabha polls, especially in states where it had a ruling government back then. The research paper soon got traction online and started drawing criticism from various corners. Seeing the controversy around the research paper stirring up, the university was quick to sideline itself from professor Sabyasachi’s paper. “After making extensive efforts to dissuade him, the university has accepted his resignation… Dr Das’s paper on Indian elections was the subject of widespread controversy after being shared recently on social media, where it was perceived by many to reflect the views of the university… The university does not direct or moderate the research conducted by its faculty and students. This academic freedom also applied to Dr Das.” the university said in a statement.

The country also reported 2,34,281 new Covid 19 cases and 3,52,784 recoveries in the last 24 hours.Active case: 18,84,937(4.59%)Daily positivity rate: 14.50% Total Vaccination : 1,65,70,60,692Union Health Minister Mansukh Madaviya informed that more than 75% of the eligible population in the country is now fully vaccinated.Maharashtra on Saturday reported 27,971 new coronavirus positive cases, including 85 Omicron infections, and 61 pandemic-related deaths, the state health ministry said in its press release.With the new additions, the overall caseload in the state mounted to 76,83,525 and the death toll to 1,42,522.The case fatality rate stood at 1.85 per cent in Maharashtra.With 50,142 patients being discharged, the total number of recoveries in Maharashtra went up to 72,92,791, leaving the state with 2,44,344 active cases, the department said.The case recovery rate in Maharashtra now stands at 94.91 per cent, according to the state health department.Of the 85 new Omicron cases, 44 were from Pune city, 39 from Mumbai and one each from Pune rural and Akola, the department said. The number of COVID-19 cases reported in Delhi has reduced significantly in the last one week from over 11,000 cases logged on January 22, but the containment zones count remains over 40,000, according to official data, as mentioned in a PTI report.A containment zone is created by authorities to check the spread of infection if at least three cases of coronavirus are recorded in a household or in a neighbourhood.The surge in Covid cases in Delhi during the third wave of the pandemic are due to the Omicron variant of the virus which is highly transmissible.Many families in a large number of neighbourhoods had tested positive, but medical experts have said that since the infection had happened at the same time, the recovery too will be quicker for the community as a whole, and there is less chance of more spread of infection as people are largely home isolated with a very little number of patients needing hospitalisation this time.According to official data shared by the Delhi health department, the number of containment zones in the city stood at 41,095 on Friday, a fall from 42,388 on Thursday.

All About Some Unique Restaurants Around The World (Representational Image) ( Image Source : Getty )Embarking on a gastronomic exploration provides a splendid chance to uncover the myriad flavours and cultures that grace our global tapestry. From hidden gems nestled in bustling cities to havens tucked away in remote corners, the culinary landscape offers a fascinating array of unique dining experiences. Each of these dining establishments is a work of art, mixing innovation, environment, and, obviously, mouth-watering dishes. Join us as we dive into the area of those one-of-a-kind eating places, promising an indelible and palate-pleasing escapade that goes beyond the everyday.1. Pomze, Paris, France Where can you find a creative and top-notch dining experience in Paris without the discomfort of feeling overly full? A hidden gem awaits near Saint Augustin Church on Boulevard Haussmann – it's Pomze, a true culinary delight. The concept is refreshingly unique, centred entirely around apples, or "pommes" in French. Every aspect, from the restaurant's design and the ground-floor gourmet shop to the cider cellar and menu offerings, draws inspiration from Daniel Dayan's genuine passion for apples.2. The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders, Tokyo, JapanJapan is renowned for its impeccable dining experiences, where errors are a rarity and customer satisfaction is paramount. However, the Tokyo pop-up Restaurant of Mistaken Orders defies conventions. Unlike typical establishments, this unique eatery celebrates imperfection. “You might think it’s crazy. A restaurant that can’t even get your order right,” notes its English introduction. The staff, individuals living with dementia, might occasionally err, reflecting the realities of Japan’s ageing population and the growing prevalence of Alzheimer’s Disease. This distinctive concept sheds light on a societal issue while challenging traditional norms, offering a new perspective on dining and empathy.3. Human-Free McDonalds,Texas, USATexas is no stranger to distinctive McDonald’s venues, boasting zoos and colossal Happy Meal-shaped exteriors. Yet, one eatery stands out by embracing the future. Situated near Fort Worth, the world’s premier automated McDonald’s redefines convenience. Pioneering technology like conveyor belts facilitates swift in-and-out experiences, promising unrivalled efficiency. This innovative Texan gem sets a global precedent, utilizing automation to streamline service and revolutionize fast-food dining. 4. Akasha, Ubud, BaliIn a bio-architected environment designed to nurture creativity, guests are invited to partake in a vibrant culinary spectacle. The menu at this graceful establishment excludes gluten, soy, corn, dairy, and other allergens. It caters to diverse diets—gluten-free, vegan, raw, keto, or carnivore—with inclusive offerings. Expert curation ensures dishes provide both exceptional taste and nourishment. Employing food combining for digestion, activating nuts and seeds, and utilizing sustainable ingredients such as free-range chicken and locally sourced fish, the kitchen emphasizes scratch cooking with premium organic and pesticide-free components. Beyond visual and flavour appeal, the aim is to evoke a sense of vitality and well-being.5. Cell #9, Fnaitees, KuwaitCell #9 is an unconventional restaurant known for its prison-themed ambiance and surprisingly delicious food. While real prisons are infamous for their unappetizing meals, Cell #9 stands out with its unique concept featuring cells, chains, and bars. Although it might not attract former inmates, it has become popular for those seeking novelty or a taste of its creatively named dishes like Extortion Sliders, Reeper Chicken, Arson Fries, and the Predator Chicken Burger. The restaurant's blend of novelty and tasty offerings has drawn crowds looking to enjoy its criminally delicious menu.6. Van Goghi, Tbilisi, Georgia "Van Goghi," a newly launched fusion eatery near Rustaveli metro, infuses Georgian influences into its offerings. Honouring the artistic genius Vincent van Gogh, the restaurant ponders, "What if Van Gogh thrived in Georgia?" The décor showcases Van Gogh's work with a Georgian twist. Dishes feature Georgian elements, elevating their flavours. The menu boasts an array of cocktails inspired by Van Gogh's Georgian travels and an exclusive wine selection, rare in Tbilisi's dining scene. The minds behind Tbilisi's popular David’s Garden cafe spearheaded the venture, adding another culinary gem to the city's landscape.7. Supperclub Tube, Victoria Line train, LondonIn the bustling London tube, conversations are rare and expectations for good food are low. However, in East London, a unique experience awaits in the form of the Supper Club Tube. Housed in a decommissioned 1960s Victoria line carriage at the Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum, it offers vibrant Latin-American cuisine by chef Beatriz Maldonado Carreño. The stationary vintage tube, complete with original features, transforms into a communal dining space every Thursday to Saturday. Engaging seating arrangements encourage mingling, creating an opportunity for memorable interactions. With a rotating six-course menu, wine, and cocktails, the Supper Club Tube promises an unparalleled, intimate gastronomic journey.Lights, Camera, Virality!

( 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 new protein therapies have been designed computationally and refined in the laboratory. They fight against Covid-19 infection by interfering with the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to enter host cells. Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 20 Apr 2022 07:55 AM (IST)
Representative Photo | Credit: Getty ImagesNew Delhi: An international team of researchers have developed a new protein-based antiviral nasal spray, which is being advanced toward Phase I human clinical trials to treat Covid-19.The new protein therapies have been designed computationally and refined in the laboratory. They fight against Covid-19 infection by interfering with the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to enter host cells. The study, led by researchers at Northwestern University, University of Washington, and Washington University in St Louis, was recently published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. According to the study, the top protein neutralised the virus with similar or greater potency than antibody treatments with Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) status from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Another interesting finding was that the top protein neutralised all tested SARS-CoV-2 variants, which is something many clinical antibodies have failed to do.The study authors administered the treatment to mice as a nasal spray, and observed that the best of these antiviral proteins reduced symptoms of infection. The antiviral proteins also prevented infection.Initially, the scientists used supercomputers to design proteins that could attach to vulnerable sites on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, targeting the spike protein. The findings were originally reported in 2020 in the journal Science. In the new study, the researchers reengineered the proteins, which are called minibinders, to make them more potent. The minibinders do not target just one site of the virus' host machinery, but simultaneously bind to three sites. This makes the drug less likely to detach, according to the study. In a statement issued by Northwestern University, Michael Jewett, one of the study authors, said SARS-CoV-2's spike protein has three binding domains, and common antibody therapies may block just one domain.He explained that the minibinders sit on top of the spike protein like a tripod and block all three. The interaction between the spike protein and the antiviral developed by the researchers is among the tightest interactions known in biology. Jewett said that when the team put the spike protein and the antiviral therapeutic in a test tube together for a week, they stayed connected and never fell apart. Since SARS-CoV-2 has mutated into new variants, some treatments have become less effective in fighting the virus, which keeps evolving. The FDA halted several monoclonal antibody treatments last month, due to their failure against the BA.2 Omicron sub-variant, the statement said.The antibody treatments failed to neutralise Omicron. Unlike them, the new minibinders maintained potency against the Omicron variant of concern. The new antiviral blocks the virus' spike protein, and prevents it from binding to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, which is the entry point for SARS-CoV-2 to infect the body. Since the novel coronavirus and its mutant variants cannot infect the body without binding to the ACE2 receptor, the antiviral also should work against future variants, the study said.Jewett explained that to enter the body, the spike protein and ACE2 receptor engage in a handshake. The antiviral developed by the researchers blocks this handshake, and as a bonus, has resistance to viral escape.Current antibody therapies come with several problems, including losing effectiveness. Moreover, they are difficult to develop, expensive, and require a healthcare professional to administer. Also, they require complicated supply chains and extreme refrigeration, which is often unavailable in low-resource settings, according to the study.The new antiviral is a boon because it solves all these problems. Monoclonal antibodies are made by cloning and culturing living mammalian cells. Unlike them, the new antiviral treatment is produced large-scale in microorganisms like Escherichia coli.This makes the new antiviral treatment cost-effective to manufacture. The new therapy is stable in heat, and this could further streamline manufacturing and decrease the cost of goods for clinical development. The therapy also holds promise for being self-administered as a one-time nasal spray, bypassing the requirements for medical professionals, the study said.The researchers believe that the nasal spray could soon be available at the pharmacy and used as a preventive measure to treat Covid-19 infection.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?

The Science Of Health: This week, in ABP Live's health column, we discuss the instances in which head and neck cancers metastasise, or spread to other regions and cause tumours to grow there.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 31 Jul 2023 07:35 AM (IST)
Head and neck cancers, which can occur in the squamous cells lining the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck, that include the oral cavity, throat, and voice box, and nerves in the head and neck, may metastasise to different locations. ( Image Source : Getty/ABP Live )Cancer metastasis: Welcome back to "The Science Of Health", ABP Live's weekly health column. Last week, we discussed how the brain stores memories, and the significance of a memory's location in the brain in determining how useful it will be for future situations. This week, we discuss the instances in which head and neck cancers metastasise, or spread to other locations in the body and cause tumours to grow there. Head and neck cancers, which can occur in the squamous cells lining the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck, that include the oral cavity, throat, and voice box, and also in the mucosal surfaces of the paranasal sinuses and salivary glands, and nerves in the head and neck, may metastasise to different locations. These include lymph nodes in the neck. However, squamous cell carcinoma may sometimes develop in the lymph nodes of the upper neck even when there is no head and neck cancer elsewhere. This could be because the original primary tumour is too small. The cancer that develops in the lymph nodes in such a case is known as metastatic squamous cell carcinoma with occult primary, according to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). ABP Live spoke to Dr Vikas Talreja, Medical Oncologist, Regency Hospital, Kanpur, and Dr Kanury V S Rao, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, PredOmix, a Gurugram-based health-tech company, and asked them about the instances in which head and neck cancers may metastasise. The experts explained that regional lymph nodes, distant lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bones are the most common sites of metastasis.“Metastasis to regional lymph nodes is a concerning pattern, as it signifies the spread of cancer beyond its primary site. Lymph nodes act as filters, and cancer cells can get trapped and grow there. From the lymph nodes, cancer can further spread to distant organs, especially the lungs and liver, through the lymphatic system or bloodstream,” Dr Talreja explained.He said that proximity of the affected structures to the primary cancer site, and the extensive network of lymphatic and blood vessels in the head and neck region are some potential factors responsible for the spread of head and neck cancers. "The invasive nature of some head and neck cancers contributes to their ability to infiltrate nearby tissues and spread."Dr Rao explained that metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the primary tumour in the affected area and travel to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and may happen at various stages of the disease.MUST READ | EXCLUSIVE: India Has A Very Long Tradition Of Particle Physics, Says CERN Physicist Archana SharmaSince regional lymph nodes are located in close proximity to the primary tumour, head and neck cancers may travel through the lymphatic system and manifest themselves in the nodes. When head and neck cancers enter the bloodstream and spread to distant organs and tissues in the body, the occurrence is known as distant metastasis. “Common sites of distant metastasis include the lungs, liver, bones, and brain,” Dr Rao said.When head and neck cancers are at an advanced stage, the tumours can grow extensively and invade nearby structures, such as the throat, jaw, sinuses, or base of the skull. This is called local invasion.“Delayed diagnosis and neglected treatment can allow cancer cells to grow and metastasise to other regions before medical intervention occurs,” Dr Rao said.The type and stage of head and neck cancers may determine their potential to spread. Dr Rao explained that some types of head and neck cancers are more aggressive and prone to metastasis than others. “Advanced stages of cancer are more likely to have already spread to other regions compared to early-stage tumours.”Smoking, alcohol consumption, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are unhealthy lifestyle practices that can increase the likelihood of cancer spreading, Dr Rao said. “Unhealthy lifestyle factors can impact the aggressiveness of the tumour and its ability to metastasise.”ALSO READ | What Are Dark Matter And Dark Energy? Here's What A CERN Scientist SaysIn order to prevent metastasis, or to manage the spread of tumours, patients should adopt certain practices. These include early detection and appropriate treatment, regular screening, prompt management of primary tumours, and targeted therapies, Dr Talreja said. Such measures can help improve outcomes and reduce the risk of metastasis. It is also important to closely monitor regional lymph nodes to detect early signs of metastasis, and to allow for timely intervention.Dr Talreja suggested that people must adopt a healthy lifestyle, avoid tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption, and practise safe sexual behaviours to reduce the risk of head and neck cancers. “Regular check-ups and screenings can help detect cancer at an early stage when treatment is more effective.”ALSO READ | Oppenheimer: The Manhattan Project, And How It Developed The Atomic BombAccording to Dr Rao, not all head and neck cancers will spread to other regions, and the likelihood of metastasis varies from person to person. Therefore, regular follow-up care is important to manage head and neck cancers, and reduce the risk of their spread.According to the NIH, there is an increased risk of a second primary cancer developing in people who have been treated for head and neck cancers. The second primary cancer usually occurs in the head, neck, oesophagus or lungs, and its risk of developing depends on the site of the original cancer. However, people who consume tobacco and alcohol are at a greater risk of developing a second primary cancer, compared to others. ALSO READ | Oppenheimer: Father Of The Atomic Bomb, And The Subject Of Christopher Nolan FilmTherefore, people must quit tobacco in order to reduce the risk of developing head and neck cancers. Also, patients who have had head and neck cancers in the past must refrain from consuming tobacco to reduce the risk of developing a second primary tumour.Check ABP Live's stories explaining the science behind various health phenomena, and the articles appearing in the weekly health column here.Check out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorCovid Scare: Delhi Conducts 250-400 RT-PCR Tests Daily, No Death Amid Surge In JN.1 Cases, Says MinisterCovid Highlights: Karnataka Records 74 Fresh Cases, 2 FatalitiesWhy Is India Seeing A Concoction Of Covid, Cold, And Flu?

Actionable Feedback At ScaleSophisticated, Data-Driven Teacher TrainingFocus On Creativity, Not ProficiencyTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 05 Sep 2023 05:09 PM (IST)
AI in education is the next exciting frontier.By Yogesh Bawane
There’s been a lot of talk lately about what teaching will look like in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). I know that many in my profession are reeling from the existential crisis of increasingly human-like AI. The ‘uncanny valley’ effect — or the unsettling feeling most of us experience as a response to androids or AR/VR simulations that mimic humans, but are not completely realistic yet — is a hotly discussed, but also widely joked about topic among robotics and AI practitioners.
Given that educators are also responsible for constantly looking at everything from the lens of how it could help or harm a child. That ‘uncanny valley’ feeling now seems like a thing of yesterday, with AI almost perfectly mimicking human responses in many scenarios.
So I get the 3am anxiety about human educators becoming redundant in the months and years to come. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t hyperventilated about it too – yes, even as a robotics and AI educator! My solution? Go back to the basics. It’s a lesson we teach all our students while nudging them to try a different approach to a problem they’ve been trained endlessly to think of in a particular way.
And it’s this: Change is difficult and often uncomfortable. But it can also be exciting if we open our minds to its possibilities.
Isn’t it funny how we sometimes forget to act on the very lessons we try so hard to teach our students?
AI is inevitable. And I don’t mean that in a doom-and-gloom Thanos-esque way at all!
I simply mean that AI in education is the next exciting frontier, and if we focus on deploying it in an ethical and equitable manner, it can be the force that finally – at long last – closes the widening chasm between the ones with the most resources in our world and those with the least.
Most of us instinctively and wholeheartedly believe that education is every child’s basic human and life right. And yet, here’s a technology that could help this right become a lived reality, and we’re focusing on all the wrong questions, instead. Or most of the wrong questions anyhow.
Apart from the ideological and philosophical considerations, there’s also a very practical, everyday benefit to embracing the power of AI within the process of teaching to amplify the impact that human educators can have in improving learning outcomes.
Only a fool would deny that effective learning can take place without cutting-edge teaching. Is there a teacher on the planet who doesn’t aspire to avant-garde learning? But the reality of the matter is that with classrooms becoming bigger with more students per teacher and individual student time shrinking, most educators are over-extended.
This is a necessary evil if the goal is to make learning more affordable and accessible to kids at the lowest possible price points. Learning is also a two-way process – teachers need to engage with students for them to actually learn what is being taught, but in a classroom of 20, can a human teacher be expected to start and engage in 20 simultaneous conversations on a topic?
Neural networks, with their shocking ability to generate human-sounding text on almost any topic can help engage students in Socratic dialogue and prod them to look beyond their pre-set assumptions on a topic. And to me, that’s the whole point of teaching to begin with.
This is a massive benefit even in 1:1 learning, because the ability to endlessly challenge and engage in an intellectual duel supported by AI helps teachers harness and expand the powers of their students’s creativity. I’ve witnessed this live in action in my own class.
We often forget that while teaching is a calling, it is also a learned art – a muscle you have to constantly exercise for it to stay healthy and strong. So in many ways, good teachers are also forever students.
Now imagine AI helping teachers get better at their craft by simulating students with different learning styles, providing real-time feedback that is rooted in the latest global innovations and best practices, thanks to deep learning from extraordinarily large data sets from around the world. Which teacher would not be a hungry student of AI?
Ask any educator and they’ll tell you that so much of a student and teacher’s time is spent on the pursuit of nailing the rules of a discipline. Like say grammar for instance. One school of thought is that spell check and tools like Smart Compose have robbed humans of the ability to remember spellings or form their own sentences.
Another (which I belong to) is that now that students no longer need to memorize the millions of spelling rules within the language or use up their time or mental space in writing the same mundane filler lines that most functional writing entails, they are free to focus on higher-order tasks such as infusing originality into the ideas of what they are creating.
For one, it’s a more efficient use of time. And, more importantly, the gatekeeping around writing suddenly vanishes now that it’s accessible to anyone with ideas, but lacks the ability to spell, for whatever reason.
AI can help this transition in what we value – proficiency in rules, or creativity in what we imagine can be created. Every time I think of this question deeply, I’m reminded of the Danny Dunn series of 15 books, published in the 1950s and 60s, which deal with a young boy’s misadventures with science and technology. Danny Dunn, the young boy, is forever trying to invent things to either make his life simpler, just within the spirit of exploration or to get out of doing homework. And, satirically, his master strokes often come to him when he’s trying to get out of doing something boring and repetitive like writing punishment (which he gets a lot of) lines.
I could go on and on, but I will end by saying that it’s not that AI in education does not require deep reflection and examination. It’s just that we need to focus on better questions. Like how do we ensure that AI output authentically reflects the world’s diversity, instead of becoming another exclusionary tool by learning from and repeating only the narratives of those with unlimited access? Or how do we optimise models to engage in furthering the dialogue instead of delivering answers as soon as possible – I believe many world-class educational institutions have made significant strides on this front by training their models extensively.

PM Modi interacts with BJP booth workers from Bhopal ( Image Source : ANI )Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that Madhya Pradesh has a big role to play in making Bharatiya Janata Party the largest party in the world as he interacted with booth workers of BJP from Bhopal. He congratulated the people of Madhya Pradesh as he inaugurated the Vande Bharat Express trains saying journey from Bhopal to Jabalpur will be faster and more comfortable now. "Today, I am virtually addressing around 10 lakh booth workers of the BJP virtually. No such virtual programme in such an organised manner has never taken place in the history of any political party," he said. Bharatiya Janata Party national president JP Nadda and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan were also present at the event. Here are the top quotes from his address: Ahead of his interaction, Modi took to Twitter to inform regarding the same. "I will get an opportunity to interact with lakhs of dedicated workers under 'Mera Booth Sabse Mazboot' programme. This opportunity will further empower their resolve for a developed India," Modi said in another tweet in Hindi.

Amid the clashes between PTI supporters and police outside the court complex in Islamabad, a judge cancelled former Pakistan PM Imran Khan's arrest warrants in the Toshakhana corruption case.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 19 Mar 2023 08:49 AM (IST)
File Photo of former Pakistan PM Imran Khan. ( Image Source : Getty Images )Amid the clashes between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters and police outside the court complex in Islamabad, a judge on Saturday cancelled former Pakistan PM Imran Khan's arrest warrants in the Toshakhana corruption case and allowed him to go home without indicting him, as reported by the news agency PTI.Khan arrived at the Islamabad Judicial Complex from Lahore to appear before the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal to attend proceedings on a complaint filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan for allegedly concealing details of gifts in his assets declarations.Judge Iqbal after waiting for hours for the 70-year-old chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party to reach the court agreed with the suggestion by his lawyer to get the signature of the former premier on the attendance sheet in his vehicle to comply with the court orders of in-person presence.The judge allowed Imran Khan to go back to Lahore after marking his attendance outside the Islamabad Judicial Complex where he was set to be indicted in the Toshakhana case."The situation as it is, the hearing and appearance cannot proceed that is why all those who have gathered here should disperse after marking attendance. There is no need for shelling or pelting, the hearing cannot be held today,” the judge was quoted as saying by Dawn newspaper. The Judge also cancelled the arrest warrants issued against Khan in the Toshakhana case and adjourned the hearing till March 30 due to the chaos after the clashes between police and PTI workers.The people inside the courtroom were facing difficulties due to the effects of the teargas while PTI party workers pelted stones at the court complex. Senior PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi confirmed to the media that all legal formalities regarding Khan's appearance in the court had been fulfilled and he was leaving the premises. Thus, Khan went away without his indictment in the case, as reported by the news agency PTI.Khan earlier reached the court premises but his efforts to reach the courtroom were thwarted due to the deteriorating law and order situation. Earlier, clashes erupted between security forces and Khan's supporters outside the judicial complex ahead of his appearance before the court.Islamabad police chief Akbar Nasir Khan told the media that Khan's supporters resorted to violence, pelted stones at the police and also set on fire a police picket. "Our force is tackling the situation with patience," he said, as quoted by PTI. He further said that Khan was just five minutes away from driving to the court. Stringent security measures were implemented outside the judicial complex in Islamabad’s G-11, where Khan appeared.A large contingent of police was deployed to the area to provide security for Khan. He arrived in Islamabad from Lahore to appear before the court. He was accompanied by his supporters in a convoy. At least three vehicles in his convoy also met with an accident near the Kalar Kahar area on the M-2 motorway but no casualties were reported.According to PTI, Khan appeared before Lahore High Court on Friday and assured that he was ready to present himself on Saturday before Judge Iqbal handling the corruption case against him. He has been in the dock for buying gifts, including an expensive Graff wristwatch, he received as the premier at a discounted price from the state depository called Toshakhana and selling them for profit.The cricketer-turned-politician was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in October last year for not sharing details of the sales, PTI reported. The top electoral body later filed a complaint with the district court to punish him, under criminal laws, for selling the gifts he had received as prime minister of the country.Khan’s Lahore residence remained a battlefield between his party workers and police and Rangers for two days earlier this week over his "arrest operation" in the case. The PTI workers, however, succeeded in foiling his arrest attempt and the operation was halted on the Lahore High Court’s order earlier this week.

Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander and Pragyan rover have made groundbreaking scientific discoveries and performed breakthrough experiments in just a week of starting operations on the Moon.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 01 Sep 2023 01:59 PM (IST)
From creating the first temperature-depth profile on the Moon's south pole, to confirming the presence of sulphur there, from discovering that the lunar plasma environment is sparse, to detecting a potential lunar quake, Vikram and Pragyan have made interesting discoveries. ( Image Source : ISRO )Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander and Pragyan rover have made groundbreaking scientific discoveries and performed breakthrough experiments in just a week of starting operations on the Moon. Both Vikram and Pragyan started operations on August 24, 2023, the day after Chandrayaan-3 successfully soft landed on the Moon's south pole, making India the first country to softly land a spacecraft on the lunar south pole. The Vikram lander is equipped with four payloads: Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE), Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA), Radio Anatomy of Moon Bound Hypersensitive ionosphere and Atmosphere-Langmuir Probe (RAMBHA-LP), and Laser Retroreflector Array (LRA). The LRA, developed by NASA, is the only Instrument onboard Chandrayaan-3 that is not indigenously developed. ALSO READ | Aditya-L1 Will Be Placed 1.5 Million Kilometres From The Earth. Know The Significance Of This DistanceChaSTE, ILSA, and RAMBHA-LP have already made interesting discoveries on the Moon's south pole. The two payloads onboard Pragyan are: Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS). Both APXS and LIBS have discovered the presence of sulphur on the Moon. ALSO READ | Aditya-L1: When Will India's First Solar Mission Reach Its Destination? What Path Will It Take? All You Need To KnowFrom creating the first temperature-depth profile on the Moon's south pole, to confirming the presence of sulphur on the lunar south pole, from discovering that the lunar plasma environment above the south pole is sparse, to detecting a potential lunar quake, the payloads onboard Vikram and Pragyan achieved several milestones in less than a week. Here is the complete list of scientific discoveries made on the Moon by Chandrayaan-3's payloads. On August 27, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Vikram's ChaSTE payload has generated the first temperature-depth profile of the lunar surface on the Moon's south pole. In order to understand the thermal behaviour of the Moon's surface, ChaSTE measured the temperature profile of the lunar topsoil around the south pole. ChaSTE's temperature probe, which is capable of penetrating to a depth of 10 centimetres into the lunar surface, and is equipped with 10 individual temperature sensors, made measurements which generated the first temperature-depth profile of the lunar soil on the Moon's south pole. The penetration mechanism of the temperature probe can be controlled. The probe recorded the variation of temperature with changing depth in the lunar surface and near-surface lunar regions. ALSO READ | Chandrayaan-3 Produces First-Ever Temperature-Depth Profile Of Moon's South Pole.

Pragyan's LIBS payload has confirmed the presence of sulphur in the lunar surface region near the Moon's south pole. The instrument performed the first-ever in-situ measurements on the Moon's south pole, ISRO said on August 29. LIBS has unambiguously confirmed the presence of sulphur on the Moon's south pole. According to ISRO, instruments onboard orbiters sent to the Moon in the past could not have conducted these measurements.

Apart from sulphur, LIBS also detected elements such as aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon, and oxygen on the lunar south pole. The presence of these elements on the Moon's south pole was expected. MUST READ | Aditya-L1: What Makes India's First Space-Based Solar Observatory To Study The Sun UniqueNow, LIBS is conducting experiments to detect the presence of hydrogen. LIBS irradiates lunar materials with intense laser pulses to analyse their composition. Lunar materials include rocks and lunar soil. When LIBS focuses a high-energy laser pulse onto lunar materials, an extremely hot and localised plasma is generated. Plasma refers to a mixture of ionised particles.ALSO READ | Chandrayaan-3's Pragyan Rover Payload Confirms Presence Of Sulphur On Moon's South Pole. Know MoreDetectors such as charge coupled devices onboard LIBS detect the plasma, and spectrally resolve it. This means that the detectors define the wavelength intervals of the plasma radiation emitted by the material. When an element is in its ionised state, it emits a characteristic set of wavelengths of light, and analysing this set of wavelengths helps determine the elemental composition of the material. ALSO READ | Everything About Aditya-L1ISRO also released a graph which shows the wavelengths of the plasma light emitted by a certain material on the lunar surface against arbitrary units. The Y-axis represents the relative intensity of the light emitted by a lunar material. The regions in the graph where there is a large peak indicate a greater amount of a certain element, and the areas where there is a smaller peak indicate a smaller amount of the element. By analysing the wavelengths, one can determine the elements emitting the plasma light. When an element is irradiated with a laser pulse, it emits a characteristic spectrum of wavelengths.

Know What Happens At The Mission's EndAPXS is the second Pragyan rover payload which has confirmed the presence of sulphur on the Moon's south pole. However, it used a technique different from that used by LIBS. APXS also detected elements such as aluminium, silicon, calcium, and iron. By analysing the lunar soil and rocks on the Moon's south pole, APXS will provide insights into how this region is different from other highland areas.

Since the plasma above the lunar near-surface region is subject to charging and ionisation due to fluctuations in solar space weather conditions, measurements by the probe will help scientists obtain more insights into the mechanism of charging in the lunar near-surface region.ALSO READ | Chandrayaan-3's Vikram Lander Payload Makes First-Ever Measurements Of Plasma Environment Over Lunar South PoleILSA, which is a first-of-its-kind instrument on the Moon, has recorded the movements of the Pragyan rover, and also the vibrations of an event which appears to be a natural one, potentially a lunar quake.

Mass whale strandings are generally witnessed in Australia and neighbouring New Zealand due to large colonies of pilot whales living in the deep oceans surrounding both island nations.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 28 Jul 2023 08:06 PM (IST)
Pilot whales stranded on Australian beach ( Image Source : @WayneTechSPFX/Twitter )In an unfortunate incident, more than 50 pilot whales died after stranding on a remote beach in Western Australia. Close to 100 long-finned pilot whales were first spotted swimming on Tuesday morning near Cheynes Beach east of Albany. But as the day progressed, the pod of whales were seen creating a heart-shaped colony before getting stranded on the beach. By close to evening a large stretch of the shoreline was covered in beached whales. The event was captured in a drone footage and shared on the internet.#AUSTRALIAUNDERATTACK Biochemical. Air. Water.

"Sadly, 51 whales have died overnight after a mass stranding," Western Australia Parks and Wildlife Service said in a statement, reported news agency Reuters."(We) are working in partnership with registered volunteers and other organisations to try to return the remaining 46 whales to deeper water during the course of the day," the officials said further.ALSO READ: Blue Whale Found Washed Up At Meghavaram Beach In Andhra Pradesh. WatchAccording to marine experts, pilot whales are notorious for their strong social bonds, so when one whale gets into difficulty and strands, the rest usually follow. The unusual behaviour could also indicate stress or illness within the pod, some experts opined. Mass whale strandings are generally witnessed in Australia and neighbouring New Zealand due to large colonies of pilot whales living in the deep oceans surrounding both island nations. However, it remains a mystery as to how these whales get trapped on beaches.A pilot whale is estimated to be almost 1000 kg and can be nearly 4-metre-long.ALSO READ: PM Modi To Mamata Banerjee: AI Artist Gives 'Barbie' Makeover To Indian PoliticiansBig Cat Napping On Wall In UP Leaves Crowd Awestruck: WatchMan Loses AirPods In Kerala, X Unites To Get Them Back For Him From GoaLights, Camera, Virality!

Israel-Hamas War: Israeli soldiers ignored pleas for "help" before killing three hostages in Gaza, as revealed by a recent Israeli military investigation.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 08:45 AM (IST)

( Image Source : Getty Images )In a serious revelation, an Israeli military investigation report released on Thursday disclosed that Israeli soldiers ignored cries for "help" when they stormed a Gaza building, where three hostages were later killed by mistake. The soldiers reportedly heard shouts of "hostages" in Hebrew on December 10 but interpreted it as a "terrorist deception attempt" by Hamas operatives, according to the probe, news agency AFP reported.The building in the Gaza City district of Shejaiya was believed to be rigged with explosives, leading the soldiers to exit and subsequently kill five Hamas operatives attempting to escape.According to AFP, the investigation revealed that the hostages likely fled the building on December 15 and were shot by Israeli soldiers after being mistakenly identified as a threat. Two hostages were killed instantly, while the third fled, leading soldiers to hold fire in an attempt to identify him.Despite cries for help and pleas like "they're shooting at me," the surviving hostage was shot dead by two soldiers who reportedly did not hear the order due to noise from a nearby tank. Notably, all three hostages were shirtless, and one was carrying a white flag, AFP reported.On December 14, an army drone identified distress signals such as "SOS" and "help, three hostages" on a building close to where the fatal shooting occurred.ALSO READ | US Shoots Down Drone, Anti-Ship Missile Fired By Houthi Rebels In Red SeaIsraeli Army Chief Herzi Halevi admitted failure in the mission to rescue the hostages, stating in a released statement, "The three fatalities could have been prevented."Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed sorrow, stating that the incident "broke my heart" and "broke the whole nation's heart." The three hostages were identified as Yotam Haim, Alon Shamriz, and Samer El-Talalqa, all in their twenties, AFP reported.The tragic killings have triggered protests in Tel Aviv, where demonstrators are demanding a new plan to rescue the remaining 129 hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. The hostages were taken during Hamas's October 7 attacks in Israel, resulting in approximately 1,140 deaths, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.Vowing to dismantle Hamas and retrieve the hostages, Israel initiated a massive military offensive against the Palestinian Islamist movement, causing widespread destruction in Gaza.

Jay Shah confirmed only the date and timing of a few matches will be changed with the venues remaining the same.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 28 Jul 2023 03:47 PM (IST)
Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will get to host several high-profile World Cup fixtures this year including the India vs Pakistan game as well as the final. ( Image Source : Getty Images )Days after reports claimed that the India vs Pakistan ODI World Cup 2023 fixture is likely to be rescheduled to avoid clash with the start of Navaratri, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has confirmed that there will be changes made to the schedule of the marquee event. However, his remark suggests that the India vs Pakistan match will not be the only one which will be played at a different date as three member nations have written to the International Cricket Council (ICC) for a change in their World Cup schedule.Meanwhile, Shah also confirmed that only the date and timing of a few fixtures are expected to change with the venue remaining the same. The new schedule will be made with aim to reduce the gap to 4-5 days between matches for certain teams. However, the 34-year-old did not name the member nations who have asked for a change in their schedule.Also Read | No Ball Or Fair Delivery?

Changes will happen in consultation with the ICC," Shah told reporters after meeting associations hosting World Cup games on Thursday.When asked about the change in the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan World Cup fixture, currently slated to be played on October 15 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, he said: "As I said earlier, only a few member boards have written to the ICC and a decision will be taken soon." He maintained that "security is not an issue" for the high-voltage game in Ahmedabad.

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.

Social media influencers, with their carefully crafted images and on-screen lifestyles, create an aspirational halo that surrounds them.Impact Of Social Media Influencers On Consumer BehaviourSocial Media Influencers: Beneficial Or Detrimental?Social Media Influencers: Changing Future Of Buying PreferenceRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: Ritesh Ujjwal | Updated at : 09 Jun 2023 03:47 PM (IST)
It is safe to say that social media influencers wield immense power, revolutionising consumer behaviour. ( Image Source : Getty )The rise of social media has certainly revolutionised various aspects, including how we connect, share, and consume information. The emergence of influencers is one of the most significant changes brought about by social media in the realm of marketing. However, the influencer is not a buzzword anymore. Considering macro and celeb influencers, today's new-gen celebs, these individuals can significantly impact the psychology of potential consumers through their recommendations, opinions, and ideas, thereby shaping their purchasing decisions. Furthermore, with their substantial online followings and persuasive skills, they have emerged as critical players in determining consumers' buying behaviour. One of the key psychological phenomena that emerged in this transformation is the halo effect. From a marketing perspective, this effect occurs when individuals perceive an influencer positively in one area and extend that constructive perception to other aspects of the latter's life. Social media influencers, with their carefully crafted images and on-screen lifestyles, create an aspirational halo that surrounds them. As a result, when they endorse a product or service, their followers are likely to associate it with positive attributes, increasing the chances of a purchase.Today, social media influencers have become excellent communicators and opinionators, assisting people in perceiving a brand more favorably by providing honest feedback. When users consume influencer content, they assume credibility in the creator's opinions, especially for niche products and brands. It is safe to say that social media influencers wield immense power, revolutionising consumer behaviour and prompting businesses to embrace unconventional strategies. Their massive online followings and captivating content have become catalysts for boosting brand preferences and the transformation of consumer behaviour as a whole. With their huge fan base, these influencers create brand awareness, acquaint consumers with overlooked products, and pique their inquisitiveness. In addition, by being authentic, these new-age celebs foster trust, resulting in the likelihood of consumers embracing their recommendations. However, it is essential to note that the impact of influencers on consumer behaviour is not always positive. Concerns related to transparency, unrealistic standards, and ethics may arise, such as undisclosed sponsorships or misleading content. Thus, to tackle these issues, consumers should approach influencer recommendations critically, discerningly evaluating them and considering multiple sources of information before making purchasing decisions. Having established the impact, let's delve into some of the merits and demerits brought about by the rise of social media influencers in the marketing industry.Enhance Brand Awareness: When it comes to building and enhancing the brand's name, trust and credibility play an important role. Since influencers have amassed a loyal following, their feedback on products is perceived by users as knowledgeable and trustworthy. Furthermore, influencers not only have the power to gain the trust of consumers but also possess the ability to enhance brand awareness among vast audiences significantly. The new-age celebs help brands by promoting products or services to their large and engaged follower base, generating substantial attention and interest. This exposure can increase sales and brand recognition for the products, thereby enhancing brand awareness among consumers. Authentic and Relatable: Influencers are perceived as genuine and relatable compared to traditional celebrities or advertisements, as they frequently engage with their followers through comments, messages, reels, live streaming, and vlog sessions. These interactions foster a sense of community and connection, making consumers feel more engaged and personally relatable to their audience. When a modern-day celeb harmonizes with a brand and its users, this connection allows consumers to feel a closer affinity with the influencer, leading them to have faith in their recommendations and make purchasing decisions based on them. Social Proof and Peer Influence: Influencer recommendations serve as robust validation for the products or services they endorse. When followers witness influencers using or recommending a specific brand, it offers confirmation and assurance regarding the product's high quality and value. This social proof exerts a compelling influence on consumer purchasing behaviour, making them experience the fear of missing out (FOMO) with brands or products endorsed by influencers. Influencers hold the power to shape various stages of the consumer decision-making process; they create awareness and interest in a product, provide information, impacting the evaluation and purchase stages.Lack of Transparency: The lack of transparency within the realm of influencers raises significant concerns. There are instances where influencers fail to disclose their partnerships and financial arrangements with brands, resulting in potential ethical quandaries and deceptive practices. This lack of openness puts consumers at risk of being exposed to biased or misleading content, eroding trust in influencers and impacting their purchasing decisions. Unrealistic Standards: Influencers have mastered showcasing idyllic lifestyles with extravagant vacations, opulent possessions, and flawlessly curated appearances. This portrayal tends to set unattainable benchmarks for their followers, fostering a sense of inadequacy or FOMO, birthing an unrelenting desire to attain similar levels of luxury. Consumers may feel compelled to make purchases to emulate the influencer's lifestyle, even if it is not financially or practically feasible for them. Authenticity and Quality Concerns: While influencers play a vital role in promoting products, there is a risk of compromising authenticity and quality. Influencers may endorse products solely for monetary gain without genuinely believing in or using them. This raises questions about the integrity of product recommendations, as consumers often end up with subpar or unsuitable items based on influencer endorsements. Furthermore, vying for attention and endorsements, the soaring numbers of social media influencers have led to a saturated market. This saturation can result in content overload for consumers, making it challenging for brands to stand out and effectively connect with their target audience. The repetitive nature of endorsements can also lead to skepticism and disinterest among consumers, diluting the impact of influencer marketing.It is undeniably true that, in our digitally dominated world, influencers have made great strides in all spheres of interest. Growing at an unprecedented rate, influencer marketing as a whole is now an essential aspect of strategies executed by contemporary marketers. According to Statista, the influencer marketing industry in India is expected to reach 28 billion Indian rupees at a CAGR of 25 per cent by 2026. Given how influencers drive the purchasing decisions of new-age customers, both positively and negatively, marketers must build effective campaigns to reach a large audience. Their ability to increase brand awareness, establish trust, and facilitate targeted marketing is undeniable, in addition to challenges such as transparency issues and unrealistic expectations. This is where to favorably and successfully influence consumers' purchasing decisions, brands and influencers must collaborate in order to uphold ethical standards, maintain transparency, and provide consumers with value.

India and Australia will play ODIs on September 22, 24 and 27.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 15 Aug 2023 02:34 PM (IST)
Cummins said he would probably assess his role as ODI captain after the World Cup. ( Image Source : Getty Images )Recovering from a left wrist injury, Australia captain Pat Cummins on Tuesday said he is eyeing a return to international cricket during his side's three-match ODI series against India in late September, ahead of the World Cup. Cummins, who fractured his wrist during the fifth Ashes Test at the Oval (July 27-31), has been advised rest for six weeks. The pace bowler is set to miss Australia's five-match ODI series against South Africa between September 7 and 17. Australia will play ODIs against India on September 22, 24 and 27.“I'll head over to South Africa at the back-end of that leg. But we're probably looking more at those one-dayers (against India) ahead of the World Cup.“It shouldn't be too bad. Another few weeks and it'll be right,” said Cummins, sounding hopeful of him playing in the World Cup to be held in India from October 5 and November 19.Cummins said he would probably assess his role as ODI captain after the World Cup."The captaincy for the ODIs, we've kind of shared around a little bit. We'll get over there, and have a look at that,” he said.Cummins said Mitchell Marsh, who has been appointed as Australia’s T20I captain, is the logical choice to succeed him in the role of the ODI leader.“The good thing is we have a few options. (Mitchell Marsh) is probably the most obvious one if he's doing the T20s as well. Off the field, he's just a great people-person. His energy's infectious, he's great to hang around with, always good fun.” Cummins had taken over as Australia’s 50-over format captain last year from Aaron Finch but since then he had led only in two of the six ODIs they played.He missed one match against England as Josh Hazlewood stepped in.Steve Smith led Australia in a three-match ODI series against India earlier this year as Cummins returned home following the death of his mother.

Rajasthan Election 2023: Protests against ticket distribution are not confined to Rajsamand alone as dissident BJP supporters also demonstrated in Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Kota, Jaipur, Alwar, and Bundi.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 22 Oct 2023 11:59 PM (IST)
BJP workers staged a protest over the party ticket being given to BJP leader Deepti Kiran Maheshwari from Rajsamand Assembly constituency. ( Image Source : X/@ANI )The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Rajasthan finds itself in the midst of a growing internal challenge as supporters of dissident leaders express their discontent over ticket distribution for the forthcoming assembly elections. This unrest has culminated in widespread protests across various regions of the state. In Rajsamand district, supporters of BJP dissidents were seen vandalising furniture at the party's office and set campaign-related material ablaze on the streets, alongside burning tyres, news agency PTI reported.Their grievances centre around the selection of Deepti Maheshwari as a candidate for the elections. Notably, no formal case has been registered in connection with these incidents, as confirmed by the local police, reported PTI.The BJP's state disciplinary committee reacted swiftly to these acts of indiscipline, suspending four members from the primary membership of the party. Devi Lal Jatiya, Himmat Kumawat, and Mukesh Sharma are among those who faced suspension. The committee's chairman, Omkar Singh Lakhawat, conveyed this decision in a letter to Rajsamand district president Ajay Prajapat.Protests against ticket distribution are not confined to Rajsamand alone. Dissident supporters in Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Kota, Jaipur, Alwar, and Bundi also took to the streets, where they burned effigies in vocal opposition to the party's candidate choices. This marks the second round of protests, with similar demonstrations occurring when the party released its initial list of candidates, as per PTI's report.In Rajsamand, the discontent manifested as a group of local BJP contenders, including Dinesh Badala, Ganesh Paliwal, and Mahendra Kothari, and their supporters entered the party office. The protestors raised slogans against Deepti Maheshwari and inflicted damage on the office's furniture. A video capturing these events has since gone viral.Deputy Mayor Paras Singhvi, a contender for a ticket from Udaipur, also expressed his displeasure after being denied candidature. He accused Assam Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, a former MLA, of meddling in Udaipur's political affairs. Singhvi went on to issue a warning that if the party does not reconsider its decisions, it could face severe consequences, the report stated.Protests were not limited to Udaipur, as BJP's sitting MLA Chandrabhan Singh Akya's supporters demonstrated once more. This comes after the party denied him a ticket for the Chittorgarh seat. The protestors burned the effigy of the party's state president, CP Joshi, and urged the party to field a local candidate. Akya, who had previously represented the seat in 2013 and 2018, accused Joshi of settling old scores against him. The BJP has selected Narpat Singh Rajvi, the son-in-law of five-time MLA Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, for the Chittorgarh seat.The BJP leadership, including CP Joshi, reiterated that candidate selection is a collective process and not the result of individual decisions. Joshi expressed confidence in the party's candidate list and suggested that any resentment will be addressed amicably, as all party members are part of a larger family.Leader of the Opposition Rajendra Rathore emphasised that decisions are made collectively and that the state president has not harbored grudges against anyone. Efforts are ongoing to communicate with dissenting MLA Chandrabhan Singh to facilitate understanding.Protests and opposition also surfaced in other regions. In Jaipur, supporters of sitting BJP MLA Ashok Lahoti protested and set tyres on fire after the ticket was allocated to party's state general secretary Bhajanlal Sharma. In Kota South, Vikas Sharma's supporters demonstrated and voiced their objections to Sandeep Sharma's candidature for the seat.The discontent extended to Alwar, where supporters protested against Sanjay Sharma, who secured a ticket. They called for the nomination of a new face. In Bundi, a similar protest unfolded against BJP's Ashok Dogra, with supporters advocating for fresh representation, PTI reported. A total of 200 assembly seats are at stake, with BJP having announced candidates for 124 of them thus far. Voting is scheduled for November 25, and the results will be disclosed on December 3.Will BJP's Alliance With JD(S) In Karnataka Boost Its 2024 LS Poll Prospects?

Our skin is often exposed to the scorching sun, dry air, and smoke from raging traffic on the roads and a whole lot of dust. All of this settles on our skin and makes it tough for it to breathe. Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 08 Nov 2022 03:30 PM (IST)
(Representational Image) ( Image Source : Getty )The closing of the festive season after all the days of cleaning, binge eating oily foods and sweets, wearing make-up every day for long hours, and skipping skincare routines definitely leaves your skin affected. More importantly, as the season changes and the fragrant winter makes its way, so does the rising level of pollution. Our skin is often exposed to the scorching sun, dry air, and smoke from raging traffic on the roads and a whole lot of dust. All of this settles on our skin and makes it tough for it to breathe. “If your exposure to these elements is high and your skin isn’t protected well, it can cause great impact on your skin barrier, starting from pigmentation problems to uneven skin tone and dullness. Pollution can also promote premature skin ageing. People with sensitive skin types are even more susceptible as they have a compromised skin barrier to start with, making it ever more important to ensure your skin is taken care of”, says Dr Aakriti Mehra, Resident Dermatologist at Kult app. So, how do you revive your skin? Dr Aakriti details how you can give your skin the extra attention that it deserves and protect it from the effects of pollution.Cleansing, Toning & Moisturizing (CTM)Your face gives away everything. So before you look towards any special treatments or spas - make sure to rigorously follow the Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturizing (CTM) regimen. These three steps are the Holy Grail to healthy, glowing skin. This regimen ensures a total cleanse and complete removal of any dust and dirt from the surface of your skin. Hydration Is KeyWhen your skin is saturated with pollution, it is screaming for hydration before anything else. While a wide range of cosmetics aim to cater to hydrating your skin externally, consuming more water every day can be a game changer. Additionally, you can also consume fruits with high water content like citrus fruits and watermelon, which make for a quick, refreshing snack. This will help your skin maintain its elasticity.ALSO READ: Winter Hair Care Tips Try These 10 Winter Hair Care Tips To Keep Your Hair In Great ShapeVitamin C PeelApplying vitamin C to the skin can promote the growth of new collagen that makes your skin look rejuvenated and fresh. Antioxidants found in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) are believed to make your skin feel young and beautiful. It aids in removing free radicals and improves tissue healing. This is why a vitamin C peel is a fantastic way to repair the skin and boost skin cell growth. It also helps in fading pigmentation and acne scars, revealing clear and radiant skin.ALSO READ: What is Vitamin B12 Deficiency? Know Its Symptoms And CausesSheet MasksThe most convenient way to enhance skin health is with a sheet mask. Giving you some extra hydration for a long-lasting glow, it serves as the perfect option for serums and special creams. In fact, a sheet mask can help moisturise your skin to give it a supple bounce and to make it more radiant. Depending on how dry your skin is, use sheet masks two to three times a week, in addition to your usual skin routine, after cleansing and toning. Sun Protection Make sure to never ever forget sunblock. You don’t want your cleansed skin to be fried in the scorching sun. Not only are UV rays super harmful to your skin but added with the pollution and dust around, the lack of sun protection can make your skin look way duller. Also, remember to always use a scarf/a pair of sunglasses when you go out. Most importantly, select multipurpose cosmetic products such as moisturisers with SPF for a quick, simple, and effective skincare regimen.Lights, Camera, Virality!

Gupta had accused Banerjee of disrespecting the national anthem and demanded that an FIR be registered against her under the Prevention of Insults to the National Honour Act.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 30 Oct 2023 11:16 PM (IST)
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. ( Image Source : Getty Images )Mumbai: A court here on Monday dismissed the complaint against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly showing disrespect to the national anthem at an event here in 2021, citing that "no offence is made out".Vivekanand Gupta, a functionary of the Bharatiya Janata Party's Mumbai unit, had approached the magistrate court with a complaint, alleging that Banerjee did not stand when the national anthem was played at the event during her visit to Mumbai in December 2021.Gupta had accused Banerjee of disrespecting the national anthem and demanded that an FIR be registered against her under the Prevention of Insults to the National Honour Act.The complaint was dismissed by Metropolitan Magistrate (Mazgaon court) S B Kale. The detailed order was not available yet.According to a lawyer, who attended the hearing on Monday, the court while dismissing the complaint said, “no offence was made out” against Banerjee.Taking cognisance of Gupta's complaint, the magistrate court had in February 2022 issued a summons to the West Bengal chief minister.The magistrate had at the time said that it was evident from the complaint, Gupta's verification statement, and video clips on YouTube that Banerjee had sung the national anthem and stopped abruptly and left the dais.This prima facie proved that the accused had committed an offence punishable under the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, it had stated.The magistrate court had also ruled that no sanction was required to proceed against the chief minister, as she was not discharging official duty.However, Banerjee moved a review petition before a special court against the magistrate's proceedings.A special judge, after hearing both prosecution and defence, had in December last year set aside the summons against Banerjee and remanded the case back to the magistrate.The judge had observed that the metropolitan magistrate “was not justified” in issuing a summons to Banerjee.The proper course would be to remit the matter back to the metropolitan magistrate with direction to comply and adhere to the procedure mandated under the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), the special court had said.

Tomar is a seasoned organisation leader who has held various positions in the party including the post of Madhya Pradesh's party president. As per the news agency PTI, he is considered to be a low-key profile leader who enjoys cordial relations with various regional satraps.

The BJP-ruled state is likely to witness its State Assembly Elections later this year along with other states such as Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram, reported PTI.Recently, the Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan made the headlines for washing the feet of a tribal labourer Dashmat Rawat.

New Variant Deltacron: Researchers from Cyprus have sent their findings to GISAID this week. According to reports, they have received 25 cases of Deltacron worldwide.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 11 Jan 2022 09:08 AM (IST)
Deltacron variant of coronavirus | GettyNew Variant Deltacron: Cases of coronavirus infections are once again growing rapidly in the country. These increasing cases are not only a matter of concern and stress for the country but for the entire world. On the other hand with every passing day new variants of covid-19 crop up creating fears and uncertainty about this pandemic.In fact, when the whole world is trying to protect itself from the claws of the new variant of the coronavirus, Omicron, in the meantime Cyprus scientists have detected a new strain. This variant is said to be a mix of Delta and Omicron variants and is named Deltacron. In fact, The Jerusalem Post citing the Cyprus Mail in one of its reports stated that Deltacron has the same genetic background as the Delta variant but also has mutations of the new covid variant Omicron. Omicron Fastest Spreading VariantIt should be noted that Omicron is said to be the fastest spreading variant compared to other covid-19 variants, while due to the Delta variant hundreds of people from all over the world lost their lives last year and therefore detecting a variant that is a mix of Omicron and Delta is creating scare amongst people. 25 Deltacron Cases Claimed To Be Found Cyprus researchers have sent their findings to GISAID this week. GISAID is a database that tracks universal Coronavirus infections.According to reports, they have received 25 cases of Deltacron worldwide. However, no country has officially confirmed patients of this new variant so far. Dr. Leondios Kostrikis, head of the Laboratory for Biotechnology and Molecular Virology of the University of Cyprus, said that they found in the research that the frequency of mutation among patients admitted for treatment of Corona was more, indicating that cases of new variants of Corona have been found in hospitals.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.

Meta's latest memo, circulated among managers, indicates that teams will be reorganised.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 19 Apr 2023 11:02 AM (IST)
Meta's move comes amid a wave of job cuts across Silicon Valley. ( Image Source : Getty )Meta Platforms, the parent company of social media giants such as Facebook and Instagram, is gearing up for another round of companywide layoffs as it works to achieve greater efficiency. The company has announced plans to cut 10,000 positions across its various brands, including Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Reality Labs, the arm of the company responsible for virtual reality efforts and Quest hardware. The latest round of cuts, which will be announced on Wednesday, is part of a broader cost-cutting push that began last year when the company cut around 11,000 jobs, as reported by Bloomberg.The latest memo circulated among managers indicates that teams will be reorganised, and some employees will be reassigned to work under new managers. This will enable the company to rebalance its ratio of technologists and engineers to business and administrative staff. Founder Mark Zuckerberg has previously spoken about his desire to make the company leaner and more efficient.In light of the news, Meta will ask all North American employees who can work from home to do so on Wednesday, in order to have time to process the news. The company spokesperson declined to comment on the layoffs, citing Zuckerberg's previous statement in March, which said that the company expected to announce restructurings and layoffs in its tech groups in late April, followed by business groups in late May.ALSO READ: Meta Looking To Reduce Remote Working: CEO Mark ZuckerbergThe move comes amid a wave of job cuts across Silicon Valley as companies grapple with the ongoing economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Meta has also extended a hiring freeze through the first quarter of this year, which has contributed to the company's cost-cutting efforts. While the layoffs will undoubtedly be a blow to affected employees, Meta hopes that the move will enable the company to become more efficient and better positioned to weather any future economic challenges.iPhone 15 Pro, Pixel 8 Pro, OnePlus Open, More: Best Smartphones Launched In 2023OnePlus 12, Galaxy S24, iPhone 16, More: Top Smartphones To Look Forward To In 2024Fortifying Digital Defences: What Cybersecurity Challenges Will Be Like In 2047Reliance Jio Teams Up With IIT Bombay To Develop 'Bharat GPT': What We Know So FarBest Games To Look Forward To In 2024: Star Wars Outlaws, Tekken 8, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, MoreULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam Govt'Why Does Narendra Modi Hate Muslims': Asaduddin Owaisi On Sunehri Bagh Masjid Demolition ThreatChhattisgarh CM Sai Allocates Portfolios, Deputy CM Vijay Sharma Gets Home Ministry'Cold Day' Alert Sounded In Delhi, Dense Fog Likely Over North India For Next 3 DaysShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: Report/body>

A Cambodian farm owner was attacked and killed by around 40 crocodiles of his farm after he fell into the enclosure of reptiles.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 27 May 2023 01:47 PM (IST)
Crocodiles rest at a reptile farm in Siem Reap, after a 72-year-old man was killed by the animals in the enclosure. ( Image Source : Getty Images )In a shocking incident, around forty crocodiles killed a Cambodian farmer on Friday while he was attempting to wrangle one of his reptiles, reported New York Post. According to the police chief of Siem Reap, as reported by the website, the crocodiles pounced and attacked the man until he was dead. The gory incident has left the people on the farm in shock. The 72-year-old victim, identified as Luan Nam, had reportedly entered the enclosure so he could remove one of the crocodiles from a cage where it had laid eggs. Things became ugly when the beast attacked the stick and made the farm owner fall into the enclosure, according to Savry as reported by New York Post. The crocodiles swarm in ripping his body apart and leaving the entire enclosure filled with blood. Videos show dozens of reptiles leaving the paddock in blood while officials remove the man’s remains from the area. His body was covered with bite marks and he reportedly lost both arms and a leg, which the crocodiles had swallowed, reported New York Post. His severed body was later transported to the family home. According to a CBS report, Nam had reportedly been urged for years to quit the business. He was also president of the local crocodile farmers’ association. Notably, farmers in Cambodia often breed and sell crocodiles to buyers in China, Thailand and Vietnam where their skin can be made into leather and other products. The reptiles are kept for their eggs, skins and meat as well as the trade in their young. New York Post reported that Siem Reap is the second largest city in Cambodia and it is home to the Angkor Wat Buddhist temple complex, which is considered the world's largest religious structure. In 2019, DailyMail reported, a two-year-old girl was killed and eaten by crocodiles when she wandered into her family's reptile farm in the same village.

Delhi-NCR experienced third earthquake in the last one month. Here's what is causing frequent tremors in the national capital and other adjoining areas in the northern parts of the country.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 04 Nov 2023 01:15 PM (IST)
Delhi-NCR and other regions in north India have been experiencing frequent earthquakes recently. ( Image Source : Getty Images )The national capital and the adjoining areas along with other parts of north India once again experienced tremors jolting people out of their homes in panic. This is the third incident in the last one month when tremors hit Delhi-NCR. On October 15, an earthquake of magnitude 3.1 on the Richter scale hit the national capital with an epicentre located 9 kilometres east of Faridabad. On October 3, strong tremors were felt in Delhi and NCR after two earthquakes of magnitude 4.6 and 6.2 hit Nepal at an interval of 25 minutes. The quake was felt in parts of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow, Hapur and Amroha, lasting for nearly 40 seconds.ALSO READ: Nepal Earthquake: Toll Rises To 128, Rescue Ops InitiatedNational capital’s proximity to the Himalayas is one of the main reasons for frequent earthquakes in the Delhi-NCR, and adjoining parts of north India. The Himalaya range, which is roughly around 300 kilometres from Delhi, were formed due to collision between Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The ongoing tectonic activity is what triggers tremors making the region including Nepal, Uttarakhand and the adjoining Himalayan region prone to earthquakes. While Delhi-NCR is not located on a fault line, it is in proximity to Himalayan tectonic plate boundary,where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide which is majorly responsible for the seismic activities in the national capital. The Himalayas in Nepal are made of different seiesmotectonic setting which keeps on storing strain energy. When The sharing strength exceeds, the zone rock ruptures which causes tremors that we feel. "...Nepal Himalayas consist of different seismotectonic settings. There are different faults that are seismogenic faults...When one earthquake occurs it releases the strain energy," National Center for Seismology (NCS) Director OP Mishra told ANI. "That strain energy accumulates somewhere. And it keeps on accumulating and keeps on increasing. So once is the sharing strength or bearing strength of the rock material exceeded, then that zone or that zone rock ruptures and then an earthquake happens," he told further. ALSO READ: Nepal Earthquake: PM Modi Assures All Help To Prachanda As Toll Mounts To 128Proximity to the Himalayan region places Delhi under seismic Zone IV whereas the Himalayan regions fall under seismic Zone V which implies highest risk of damaging earthquakes. In India, eight states along with Union Territories come under Zone V, prone to the risk of earthquakes with highest intensity. According to Government of India data, around 59 per cent of the country's land mass is prone to earthquakes of different intensities. Approximately, 11% of the country’s area falls in zone V, 18% in zone IV, 30% in zone III and remaining in zone II.Important cities in seismic zone V: Bhuj (Gujarat), Darbhanga (Bihar), Guwahati (Assam), Imphal (Manipur), Jorhat (Assam), Kohima (Nagaland), Mandi (Himachal Pradesh), PortBlair (Andaman and Nicobar), Sadiya (Assam), Tezpur (Assam). Parts of Uttarakhand, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, and New Delhi fall under Zone IV.

SEBI has regularly been working on developing and strengthening the regulatory framework and procedure for both of these products.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 20 Aug 2023 01:32 PM (IST)
REITs and InvITs were introduced to give investors an opportunity to get exposure to real estate and infrastructure projects respectively. ( Image Source : Getty )The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is planning to introduce policies to promote real estate investment trusts (REITs) and infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) in the market, the regulator stated in it’s annual report for 2022-23. SEBI is looking at bringing in norms for follow-on offers by REITs and InvITs. According to a PTI report, SEBI stated that it will focus on developing the market for REITs and InvITs in the upcoming years to utilise their full potential in developing the Indian infrastructure market. Introduced to give investors an opportunity to get exposure to real estate and infrastructure projects, REITs and InvITs respectively, aimed at providing diversification of risks for the investors. The report noted that REITs are typically invested in completed and rent-generating real estate projects. While privately held InvITs can be invested in under-construction projects along with completed and revenue-generating projects, public InvITs invest majorly in completed and return-generating projects. SEBI has regularly been working on developing and strengthening the regulatory framework and procedure for both of these products. Earlier, SEBI reduced the allotment and listing time after the closure of issue for the public issues of REITs and InvITs. It reduced the allotment and listing time for REITs from 12 to 6 working days, and for privately placed InvITs, from 30 to 6 working days. The regulator stated that these measures were aimed at increasing the liquidity of the market and bringing about parity with equity instruments. The report further noted that SEBI made available the OFS mechanism for unitholders or sellers of listed REITs and InvITs to allow them to offer their holdings through the stock exchange. Notably, the banking regulator also introduced special rights to unitholders of REITs recently. These rights allow the unitholders to nominate their representatives on the boards and the regulator also brought in the concept of a self-sponsored REIT. Also Read : E-Commerce Policy In Final Stages, Awaiting Approval From Top Authorities: Government OfficialNDR InvIT Managers’ CEO, Krishnan S Iyer, added, “Given the capital requirements needed for the growth of infrastructure, it is very important that both domestic institutions, mutual funds, and of course retail investors increasingly participated in it. These are well-structured, regulated, and transparent vehicles that give them an avenue for developing a perpetual stream of cash flows,” as quoted in the report. Lately, REITs and InvITs have seen an increase in interest from the market. 3 new InvIT registrations and 1 new REIT registration took place during the last fiscal year. Now, the total registered InvITs has increased to 20 and the number of total registered REITs stands at 5. Further, the complete net asset value managed by REITs was Rs 70,614 crore as of March 2023. The value for InvITs stood at Rs 1,76,957 crore.

Cricketers Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Kane Williamson engaged in a candid conversation with global pop icon Dua Lipa.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: IANS | Updated at : 15 Nov 2023 07:34 PM (IST)
The interaction unfolded just before the crucial World Cup semi-final clash. ( Image Source : Instagram (bipashabasu) )New Delhi: In a rather unexpected and surprisingly delightful event, cricketers Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Kane Williamson engaged in a candid conversation with global pop icon Dua Lipa with both of them asking her some strange questions which actually caught her a bit off-guard.The interaction unfolded just before the crucial World Cup semi-final clash where India would be facing off New Zealand. Just before this crucial event, K L Rahul asked her about her favourite jersey number, while Shubham Gill asked her what song would she pick if she were to perform at a cricket match.KL told her: “Jersey numbers are really important to us players. So my jersey number is one because I feel I must be number one at whatever I do, and win.”Liking KL’s reasoning, she said: “I really like that. KL, if I had to pick a number then I’d say 22. It is my lucky number.”Shubman Gill however threw an ultimate curveball, asking Dua which song from her catalogue would she use, if she were to perform at both the beginning and the end of ICC World Cup 2023 closing ceremony.Taken somewhat aback by this question, Dua nonetheless answered by saying: “I think because it is a sporting event, I’d have to go with ‘Physical’ because it is only fitting. And then ‘One Kiss’ always seems to go well at matches. Then there are also some of my new songs.”She was also asked about her favourite song by Kane Williamson. In response, she said: “I think it really changes, night after night. Obviously ‘Levitating’, and ‘Don’t Start Now’, and ‘Physical’ are songs that are a lot of fun performing. But then I’d say that my favourites from my last tour have to be ‘Pretty Please’, and ‘Love Again’. Those were really fun ones.”Currently Dua's latest track 'Houdini', which is a disco-inspired sound and features several iconic dance moves has now gone viral on the net. Following its success, this track has now become a ‘global chartbuster’, and it was able to garner 27 million views in just five days.For fans of both Dua Lipa and cricket everywhere, this was indeed a special moment as it saw giants from two different fields coming face to face with one another.The World Cup airs of Star Sports and Disney+ Hotstar.(This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Italy legalised same-sex civil unions in 2016, but due to opposition from the Catholic Church, it refrained from granting homosexual couples the right to adopt, according to AFP.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 19 Mar 2023 12:01 PM (IST)
Protests erupt in Italy as Giorgia Meloni-led government restricts same-sex parent rights. ( Image Source : Getty )New Delhi: Massive protests broke out in Milan on Saturday as hundreds of people took to the streets in protest against moves by Italy's new right-wing government to restrict the rights of same-sex parents, news agency AFP reported."You explain to my son that I'm not his mother," read one sign, as demonstrators waved rainbow flags across the city to express their anger over the decision.According to AFP, Italy legalised same-sex civil unions in 2016, but due to opposition from the Catholic Church, it refrained from granting homosexual couples the right to adopt.Decisions have instead been made on a case-by-case basis by the courts, as parents take legal action, although some local authorities decided to act unilaterally.Moreover, Milan had been registering children of same-sex couples conceived overseas through surrogacy, which is forbidden in Italy, or medically assisted reproduction, which is only available for heterosexual couples, AFP reported.But its centre-left mayor Beppe Sala revealed this week that this had stopped after the interior ministry sent a letter insisting that the courts must decide."It is an obvious step backwards from a political and social point of view, and I put myself in the shoes of those parents who thought they could count on this possibility in Milan," he said in a podcast, according to AFP.Elly Schlein, the newly elected leader of the centre-left Democratic Party, was among opposition politicians who attended the protest Saturday, where many campaigners railed against the newly elected federal administration."Yes to natural families, no to the LGBT lobby!" Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, whose far-right Brothers of Italy party came top in September elections, said in a speech last year before her election at the head of a right-wing coalition that includes Matteo Salvini's anti-immigration League.Earlier this week, a Senate committee voted against an EU proposal to require member states to recognise the rights of same-sex parents granted elsewhere in the EU.Breaking News Live — Mobile Internet Services Restored In Poonch, Rajouri After A WeekCanada: Shots Fired At House Of Hindu Temple Chief's Son In Surrey, Probe Launched - ReportRussia-Ukraine War: Moscow Launches Over 100 Missiles In 'Unprecedented' BarrageGaza War: Oldest Woman Held Captive By Hamas Dead, US President 'Devastated'Pakistan PM Bans New Year Celebrations To Show Solidarity With Palestinians Amid Israel-Hamas WarULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam GovtShah 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 Prediction/body>

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his bid for re-election in 2024, seeking a fifth term, as he looks to extend his grip on power into the 2030sRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 08 Dec 2023 09:57 PM (IST)
Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks at the Grand Kremlin Palace during the award ceremony, marking the Heroes of Russia Day on December 8, 2023, in Moscow. ( Image Source : Getty Images )Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed on Friday his intention to seek re-election in the 2024 presidential race, marking a bid to extend his lengthy tenure into the 2030s. Putin, who has led Russia since the early 2000s, made the announcement during a Kremlin event attended by army personnel, including those involved in the Ukraine offensive ordered by Putin in February last year, news agency AFP reported."I will run for the office of president of the Russian Federation," declared the 71-year-old leader, responding to Lieutenant Colonel Artyom Zhoga who urged him to run for the presidency."I won't hide it, I've had different thoughts at different times, but this is a time when a decision has to be made," Putin remarked, as quoted by AFP.Zhoga expressed gratitude for Putin's decisions, stating, "Thanks to your actions, your decisions, we have gained freedom. We need you, Russia needs you."According to AFP's report, analysts predict that Putin is unlikely to face significant challengers, aiming to secure a substantial mandate to suppress domestic dissent over the Ukraine conflict. Following a controversial constitutional reform in 2020, Putin could potentially remain in power until 2036.Rights groups express concerns about the electoral process's transparency, citing past irregularities and media restrictions imposed by Putin. The 2024 election is scheduled over three days from March 15 to 17, a move criticised for complicating transparency efforts, the report mentioned.Only five major parties, all supporting the Kremlin and the Ukraine war, have been permitted to submit candidates without collecting signatures, as per AFP.ALSO READ | 'Impossible To Imagine That Modi Could Be Forced To...': Russian President Putin Praises PMPutin's key opponent, Alexei Navalny, currently serving a 19-year prison sentence on contested charges, urged Russians to vote for "any other candidate" and criticised the elections as a "parody" of electoral procedure, as per the report.The Kremlin has faced widespread criticism for a crackdown on dissent following its Ukraine offensive, with thousands detained and a mass exodus of citizens fleeing potential conscription. Despite unprecedented sanctions from Western nations, Russia's economy has proven resilient, and Putin's domestic approval ratings remain high.Putin's decision to run for re-election comes amid a shift in fortunes, with Western support for Ukraine dwindling and Kyiv's counter-offensive facing challenges, according to analysts cited by AFP.The Kremlin seems to employ a strategy similar to the 2018 election, framing the vote as a battle against perceived Western values, evident in a November court ruling that labelled the "international LGBT movement" as extremist in a broader culture war narrative.Subscribe And Follow ABP Live On Telegram: https://t.me/officialabpliveHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

A soldier in Kerala was allegedly attacked, and 'PFI' was painted on his back by unidentified assailants. (Representational Image) ( Image Source : Getty Images )A soldier was reportedly assaulted in the southern district of Kerala on Sunday night by a group of six individuals, who subsequently painted 'PFI' on his back with green paint, according to police sources cited by news agency PTI on Monday (September 25). The incident is said to have transpired near the soldier's residence in Kadakkal, Kerala, as he was returning home on his motorcycle.The police have disclosed that personnel from the Military Intelligence have arrived at the scene and will oversee the investigation into the alleged attack on the soldier, who serves in the Indian Army's Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME) Corps.The purported incident occurred on the soldier's last day of vacation, as he hails from Kerala.An FIR has been filed during the day against six identifiable individuals under sections 143 (unlawful assembly), 147 (rioting), 153 (provocation with intent to cause riot), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 341 (wrongful restraint) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), as confirmed by the police, the report said. At present, it remains unclear if any particular organization or group was involved in the alleged assault, according to the police.According to the soldier's complaint, as reported by an officer from the Kadakkal police station, he noticed a group of individuals near his residence while returning on his motorcycle. Upon inquiry, they informed him that someone was inebriated and lying in a nearby rubber plantation, questioning if he knew the individual in question, as per PTI report. The officer recounted, "He said that he accompanied the men to the rubber plantation, and upon reaching there, someone kicked him from behind. The assailants proceeded to tie his hands and assault him. Subsequently, they inscribed 'PFI' on his back using green paint."It is important to note that 'PFI' typically refers to the Popular Front of India, an organisation that was banned by the central government last year.Police reports indicate that the soldier sustained no physical injuries during the attack. As of now, the soldier, who had been scheduled to return to his unit in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan today, is currently recuperating at home after being discharged from the hospital.Kerala HC Directs Travancore Board To Ensure Water, Other Facilities To Sabarimala DevoteesKerala: Many Hurt After Temporary Bridge Set Up For Christmas Collapses In Neyyattinkara'Land Of Goondas': Congress Calls Kerala CM 'Sadist, Coward' Over Police Action During ProtestKerala Logs 128 New Covid Cases, 1 Death.

“There is zero tolerance towards malpractices. Any such issue will always be dealt with the strictest measures in accordance with the law,” ANI quoted Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia as saying."The President in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-rule (1) of Rule 10 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, hereby places the said Capt. Anil Gill posted in Directorate of Aerosports under suspension with immediate effect," a statement issued by DGCA said.According to reports, Gill, former Director of Flying and Training Division (DFT) at the DGCA, allegedly misused his authority to obtain three aircraft as bribes from flying schools.According to the complaint registered against Gill, he used his authority to force the pilots and flying schools to pay kickbacks to businesses associated with him. In exchange, his company would turn a blind eye if a pilot was discovered to have violated any regulation. It is also alleged that the flying training organisations that could not pay the bribe that Gill sought had to sell their aircraft at "nominal prices" to the companies associated with him. The complaint against Gill was submitted to DGCA on October 25.“It is further ordered that during the period that this order shall remain in force the headquarters of Captain Anil Gill, Director should be New Delhi and the said Captain Anil Gill shall not leave the headquarters without obtaining the previous permission,” the DGCA statement added.TMC Accuses Bengal BJP Chief Of 'Insulting' Swami Vivekananda, Sukanta Rubbishes Claim'Brazen Waste Of Taxpayers Money': Congress Chief Kharge Slams Modi Govt Over PM's 3D Selfie BoothsBreaking News Live — Navy's MiG-29K Aircraft Suffers Tyre Burst At INS HansaDelhi: 'Blast' Near Israel Embassy Puts Police On High Alert.

During the pandemic, chip stockpiling by smartphone and PC makers led to excess inventories as consumers cut back on purchases due to rising inflation.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 27 Apr 2023 12:38 PM (IST)
The market is said to have responded positively to Samsung's announcement of a production cut. ( Image Source : Getty )Samsung, the South Korean tech giant, has reported a sharp drop in operating profit in the first quarter of this year due to falling memory chip prices and weak demand. The company's revenue for the first quarter was 63.75 trillion Korean won (roughly $47.6 billion), which is consistent with Samsung's own guidance, but slightly below the 63.9 trillion won expected by analysts.Operating profit for the first quarter was 640 billion Korean won (roughly $478.55 million), a significant decrease from 14.12 trillion Korean won in the same period last year, making it the company's lowest operating profit since the first quarter of 2009. In response to the downturn, Samsung plans to cut its memory chip production, following the example of smaller rivals like SK Hynix and Micron.According to SK Kim of Daiwa Securities Capital Markets, the market has responded positively to Samsung's announcement of a production cut. However, data from the International Data Corporation shows that PC shipments have fallen by 29 per cent YoY, leading to a drop in prices of memory chips due to high inventories and lack of demand.ALSO READ: Google-Parent Alphabet's Q1 Earnings Beat Expectations, Board Authorises $70-Billion Share BuybackDuring the pandemic, chip stockpiling by smartphone and PC makers led to excess inventories as consumers cut back on purchases due to rising inflation. Samsung expects demand to recover gradually in the second half of the year, with the launches of new smartphones, PC promotions, and expansion of new CPU adoption boosting memory chip demand.Daniel Yoo, head of global asset allocation at Yuanta Securities Korea, believes that a recovery is coming, citing strong results from Big Tech companies like Meta and Microsoft.Meta's shares saw a rise of 12 per cent in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after the company reported a surprise increase in sales for the first quarter and better-than-expected guidance for the current quarter. The company's earnings for the first quarter came in at $2.20 per share, surpassing analysts' expectations of $2.03 per share, as per Refinitiv. Meta's revenue for the quarter stood at $28.65 billion, exceeding the expected $27.65 billion. Microsoft's shares rose by 9 per cent after the company issued better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter and quarterly guidance. According to Refinitiv, Microsoft's earnings per share (EPS) were $2.45, beating the analysts' expectations of $2.23.

According to a press statement issued by Ocugen, the vaccine candidates was developed by Bharat Biotech.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 06 Nov 2021 12:34 PM (IST)
Representational Image. (File Photo)New Delhi: Bharat Biotech's US partner Ocugen has said that it had asked the United States (US) authorities for emergency use authorization for the Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin in the US, for children in the age group of 2-18 years, ANI reported. While talking about the merits of using Covaxin as a covid-19 vaccination for children, Bharat Biotech's clinical lead for Covid-19 vaccines, Dr Raches Ella on his Twitter handle writes, "We are pleased to announce our EUA filing to the US-FDA through our partners- Ocugen."Due to a tolerable safety profile, COVAXIN is ideally placed for children. We are pleased to announce our EUA filing to the US-FDA through our partners- Ocugen. https://t.co/xu6CyLds8H
According to a press statement issued by Ocugen, the vaccine candidates was developed by Bharat Biotech and was studied in an immuno-bridging clinical trial conducted in India with children between 2-18 years of age. It further claimed that the covid-19 vaccine has been used in 17 countries under emergency use authorization. "Covaxin™ (BBV152) is a whole-virion, inactivated vaccine, manufactured using a Vero Cell manufacturing platform, as has been used in the production of the inactivated polio vaccine for the past 35 years, as well as of other traditional childhood vaccines," reads the press statement. In order to evaluate the "safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity," a Phase 2/3 multicenter study along with a paediatric clinical trial was conducted in India from May to July 2021. The study was conducted under three age groups i.e. 2-6 years, 6-12 years and 12-18 years. The volunteers received two doses of Covaxin with a gap of 28 days between the doses. In the pedantic clinical trials, 526 volunteers between 2 to 18 years old participated and it was observed that no adverse effects such as "deaths, hospitalizations, myocarditis, pericarditis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia or anaphylactic reactions" was found in the study. “Filing for Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S. for pediatric use is a significant step toward our hope to make our vaccine candidate available here and help combat the COVID-19 pandemic,” Dr. Shankar Musunuri, Chairman of the Board, CEO, and Co-Founder of Ocugen said in the press statement. “Our research suggests that people are seeking more choices when selecting a vaccine, especially for their children. Having a new type of vaccine available will enable people to discuss with their child’s physician the best approach for them to lower their child’s risk of contracting COVID-19. The inactivated virus platform has been used for decades in vaccines for the pediatric population and, if authorized, we hope to offer another vaccine option to protect children as young as 2 years," he adds.

These cancers primarily originate in the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced, and can manifest in various forms, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Utsa Ganguly | Updated at : 08 Sep 2023 04:11 PM (IST)
Blood Cancer In Children And Teens ( Image Source : Getty )Blood cancer in children and teenagers, often is a devastating diagnosis that affects not only the young patients but also their families. These cancers primarily originate in the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced, and can manifest in various forms, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. During this time, supportive care and antibiotics helps manage side effects and improve the quality of life for patients. Dr. Susanta K Badatya MBBS, MD (Neonatology and Pediatrics) at Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital- Moti Nagar, New Delhi shared the symptoms of this cruicial condition:Dr. Susanta said, "The treatment of blood cancer in children and teenagers is a complex and multi-faceted process. It often involves a combination of therapies tailored to the specific type and stage of the cancer." Blood cancer's impact on the lives of children and teenagers is profound and far-reaching, affecting their physical health, emotional well-being, social interactions, and educational pursuits. These young warriors and their families confront unimaginable challenges, demonstrating strength, courage, and unwavering determination.Dr. Santanu Sen, who is a Consultant, Paediatrics, Paediatric Hematology, Oncology & Stem Cell Transplantation at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital Mumbai said, "The disease exerts a considerable toll on the young patients' bodies. Unrelenting fatigue and weakness become constant companions, often leaving them unable to partake in the activities they once relished. Pain and discomfort, stemming from the disease itself and the treatments, frequently take centre stage, disrupting the normalcy of their lives."He also went on to speak about the impact blood cancer has on the education of young minds.He said, "Education, an integral part of a young person's life, is frequently disrupted by blood cancer and its treatments. Missed school days, difficulty keeping up with coursework, and the need for specialized educational support are common challenges. The toll extends to their peer relationships, with many feeling isolated from friends and struggling to maintain social connections."Talking about families, he said, "Families shoulder a significant burden as well. The significant cost of cancer treatment often strains financial resources, jeopardizing the family's stability. Parents grapple with the emotional turmoil of their child's illness, while siblings may feel neglected or emotionally impacted by the shifting focus. Caregiver roles change dramatically, potentially disrupting employment and family dynamics."Dr. Santanu also threw light on the after effects of blood cancer on children. He said, "Even after conquering blood cancer, young survivors may continue to wrestle with its effects. Late effects of treatment, such as growth problems, fertility issues, and the heightened risk of secondary cancers, cast a long shadow. Psychosocial challenges, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress, can persist well into adulthood.""Yet, amid this sea of adversity, children and teenagers demonstrate remarkable resilience. They craft coping mechanisms and lean on support networks, including family, friends, healthcare providers, and support organizations, to navigate the turbulent waters of blood cancer," he concluded.Dealing with a severe illness like blood cancer is an immense challenge, particularly for children. In addition to the physical hardships and demanding treatments, young ones facing this condition also grapple with significant mental and emotional hurdles. It is imperative to comprehend and address their mental well-being, as it plays a pivotal role in their overall recovery and quality of life.In this regard, Dr. Nandini Choudhury Hazarika, who is the Lead Consultant, Dept of Pediatric Hemato-Oncology and BMT, at Madhukar Rainbow Children’s Hospital, New Delhi said, "A blood cancer diagnosis can be a profoundly traumatic experience for a child and their family. Emotions like fear, anxiety, and sadness are common, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead can cast a heavy shadow over their tender minds. Moreover, children often find it difficult to adjust to the disruption of their normal lives, as frequent hospital visits, treatments, and medication routines become the new norm.""However, in the case of very young babies and toddlers, it's often the family and caregivers who require more substantial psychological support. This is because very young children typically lack the capacity to grasp the concept of uncertainty or fear in the same way that older individuals do. Offering emotional support, fostering friendships, and equipping families with coping skills are all vital elements in ensuring the survival and flourishing of the young ones," she continued.Furthermore, she said, "Among many challenges that young children face at this time is the profound sense of isolation. Engaging in support groups and connections with peers who share similar experiences can be profoundly beneficial. Such interactions allow them to express their feelings and fears among understanding companions, effectively diminishing the sense of solitude and nurturing resilience.""Providing counselling and guidance to family members and caregivers is of utmost importance, starting from the moment of diagnosis and extending throughout the lengthy treatment process, which can span nearly two years for blood cancer, followed by a five-year follow-up period. Through counselling and education, families can be empowered to serve as steadfast pillars of support for their children," she 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.

The event was organised by Solidarity Youth Movement, the youth wing of the organisation Jamaat-e-Islami on October 27 in the Malappuram district of the southern state.BJP state president K Surendran had condemned the rally and said it was "alarming" that such a thing happened. He also questioned what CM Pinarayi Vijayan and the state police were doing. Taking to X, for, formerly Twitter, Israel envoy to India Naor Gilon called the event "unbelievable", adding that it took place "under the slogan ‘Uproot bulldozer Hindutva & Apartheid Zionism’."Unbelievable😮! #HamasTerrorist Khaled Mashal speaks from Qatar in a #Kerala event under the slogan ‘Uproot bulldozer Hindutva & Apartheid Zionism’.Mashal calls participants to:1. Take the streets and show anger. 2. Prepare for jihad (on Israel). 3. Support Hamas… pic.twitter.com/RH7nyAkEbN
At the rally, focusing on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Mashal spoke about Palestine and said, "Together, we will defeat Zionists and we will stand united for Gaza, which is fighting for Al Aqsa (mosque). Israel is taking revenge on our residents.""Houses are being demolished. They have destroyed more than half of Gaza. They are destroying churches, temples, universities, and even UN institutions…" he said, as quoted by the Indian Express. Here's all about the Hamas leader.Khaled Mashal was born in the West Bank in 1956. His family left the place after the 1967 War between Israel and Arab states that led to Israel's occupation of the West Bank, the Indian Express stated.Once referred to as "The Man Who Haunts Israel" by Time Magazine, Mashal is a founding member of the Hamas politburo who headed the group's main policy body from 1996 to 2017, Hindustan Times reported. He became Hamas's political leader in exile in 2004. As per the IE, he also lived in Kuwait between 1967 and 1990. He also led a Palestinian Islamic movement at Kuwait University.According to a BBC profile, Khaled Mashal became Hamas's political leader in exile in 2004. He never lived in Gaza and operated from Jordan, Syria, Qatar and Egypt, HT reported. It added citing Israel's foreign ministry that Mashal is now based in Qatar and has a net worth of $4 billion.According to the Indian Express report, in a 2017 interview with Al Jazeera, he said, "I am one of the founders of the organisation. I was there since day one. I was part of the founding and launch even before Hamas was officially declared in 1987… Therefore, I was a member of its consultative council and leadership structures since day one."Hamas emerged in the early 1990s after it differentiated itself from the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO). This organisation was a secular body that favoured a more conciliatory approach towards Israel, India Express stated. Hamas started suicide bombings against Israeli civilian targets in 1994. Mashal echoed the militant group's resistance towards Israel and demanded that territories that existed prior to the establishment of Israel in 1948 should be recognised as Palestine.In the 2017 interview, Mashal said, "For us, the principle of negotiations or not is not something set in stone. It is a matter of politics and it is dynamic… Currently, Israel is not interested in peace… When we are strong enough to create a reality that will force Israel to reconsider its positions against us, only then negotiations will have value and meaning for us. Look at, for example, the PLO’s negotiation experience with Israel. It got them nowhere after decades of futile talks with Israel." The Indian Express report stated that when Mashal was living in the Jordanian capital of Amman, he became the target of an Israeli assassination attempt in September 1997. This was ordered by PM Benjamin Netanyahu who was then serving his first term.An account in Time Magazine states that two agents of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad waited outside Mashal's office. As he approached, one of them sprayed the painkiller fentanyl into his ear."The Israelis had hoped that their lethal dose of modified fentanyl — up to one hundred times more potent than morphine — would send Mashaal into a nap from which he would never awake, and that the agents would slip away, leaving no evidence of foul play," it said, quoted Indian Express.The event unfolded in a massive row as while Mashal was being rushed to hospital, Jordanian King Hussein threatened to cut off relations with Israel “by midnight.” Dennis Ross — then US President Bill Clinton’s chief Middle East negotiator — received had to intervene after Netanyahu's call Later, Netanyahu had to provide an antidote formula to Jordanian doctors for Mashal’s treatment, the report in Time stated.ALSO READ | US Talking To Israel At 'Highest Level' To Protect Gaza Civilians As Bombing Continues: Top PointsHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

According to the American Heart Association, e-cigarettes negatively impact the heart's blood flow, possibly more chronically than regular cigarettes. Experts say e-cigarettes cause acute lung injury.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 31 May 2023 10:43 AM (IST)
A study published in the American Heart Association Journals found that e-cigarette use is associated with coronary vascular dysfunction, the effect being possibly worse than from smoking traditional cigarettes. ( Image Source : Getty )World No-Tobacco Day: Tobacco smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, is responsible for a large number of diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and increases the risk for illnesses such as autoimmune diseases, eye problems, tuberculosis, depression and anxiety. However, smoking is not just limited to the use of traditional cigarettes, but also involves electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). Using e-cigarettes is also known as vaping. The Indian government banned e-cigarettes in September 2019, in the interest of public health, because beyond the issue of nicotine addiction, the ingredients used in flavouring agents and additive agents such as propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine can be harmful for health, a 2020 study published in The Lancet Public Health, said. Additive agents such as propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, when heated, can produce various compounds, including formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. These are carcinogenic to humans. Since the increased use of e-cigarettes among adolescents was of particular concern, the Indian Council of Medical Research recommended through its white paper that e-cigarettes be completely prohibited in India.However, the study said, Indian authorities are struggling to regulate the use of e-cigarettes in particular due to black market, which is threatening the country's efforts to control tobacco. A 2023 study published in the journal Preventive Medical Reports said that e-cigarettes are a continuing public health challenge in India despite comprehensive bans. This is because e-cigarettes are available to young people in India. Surprisingly, those with higher levels of education are among those most likely to vape, while low prevalence of daily vaping was found among educated young adults, the study said. The study authors noted that vapers sourced e-cigarettes from retail outlets such as vape shops and tobacconists, and their social networks. ALSO READ | About 80% Of Autoimmune Disease Cases Are In Women. Experts Explain Reasons Behind Increased Prevalence In FemalesAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, e-cigarettes produce an aerosol by heating a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavourings such as diacetyl, and other chemicals such as ultrafine particles, volatile organic compounds, cancer-causing chemicals, and heavy metals such as nickel, tin and lead, that help to make the aerosol. The aerosol is then inhaled into the lungs. E-cigarettes are also known as "electronic nicotine delivery systems", or ENDS. Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive, can harm adolescent and young adult brain development, is toxic to developing foetuses, poses a health danger to pregnant adults and their developing babies, harms the heart and lungs, raises one's blood pressure, increases adrenaline levels, raises the heart rate, increases the chances of having a heart attack, and is linked to chronic lung disease and asthma. ALSO READ | Are Mental Health Disorders More Prevalent In Women Than In Men? Experts Say It Is Not So Simple“E-cigarettes or vapes don't contain tobacco. But, they contain nicotine, which is the main addictive substance in tobacco. Nicotine impacts the lungs, heart, blood vessels, and gastrointestinal system in a bad way. It increases the chances of asthma, lung diseases, coronary artery disease, stroke, and gastric ulcer, among others. Nicotine has very high addiction potential and can act as a gateway to other drugs, or smoking tobacco,” Dr Akshat Malik, Senior consultant- Surgical Oncology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, told ABP Live.According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, e-cigarettes are just as addictive as traditional ones, but many e-cigarette users get even more nicotine than they would from a combustible tobacco product, because they either increase the voltage of the e-cigarette to get a larger amount of nicotine, or buy cartridges with a higher concentration of nicotine. According to the CDC, e-cigarette aerosols contain cancer-causing chemicals and tiny particles that reach deep into the lungs, and acute nicotine exposure is extremely toxic. There are also chances of children and adults being poisoned by breathing, swallowing or absorbing e-cigarette liquid through their skin or eyes. ALSO READ | The Science Of Health: Which Diseases Are Women More Prone To Than Men? Here's What Experts SayThe American Heart Association said in a 2019 release that e-cigarettes negatively impact the heart's blood flow, possibly more chronically than traditional cigarettes.Two separate studies whose findings were presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2019 showed that e-cigarette smokers had more negative heart disease risk factors, which are total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Also, e-cigarettes reduce blood flow in the heart. Both studies were published in the American Heart Association Journals.ALSO READ | Science For Everyone: Why Colonising Mars Is Still Far From RealityOne of the studies compared cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose levels in healthy adult non-smokers, traditional cigarette smokers, e-cigarette smokers, and dual smokers, and found that total cholesterol and bad cholesterol were higher in sole e-cigarette users than non-smokers. The other study found that e-cigarette use is associated with coronary vascular dysfunction, the effect being possibly worse than from smoking traditional cigarettes. ALSO READ | World Schizophrenia Day: Schizophrenia Is Beyond Hallucinations And Delusions. Know Its Unusual SymptomsIn the statement, study author Florian Rader said in smokers who use traditional cigarettes, blood flow increased modestly after traditional cigarette inhalation, and then decreased with subsequent stress, but in smokers who used e-cigarettes, blood flow decreased after both inhalation at rest and after physiologic stress. This indicated that e-cigarette use is associated with persistent coronary vascular dysfunction at rest, even in the absence of physiologic stress. Quoting study co-author Susan Cheng, the statement said e-cigarettes may confer potentially even more harm to users, than traditional cigarettes, especially to patients at high risk for vascular disease.ALSO READ | World Schizophrenia Day: Hidden Signs To Diagnose Schizophrenia In Patients Who Are Unaware Of Their Condition“There are studies of people being admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU), and requiring oxygen and ventilator support because of using e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes contain nicotine, which can produce harmful vapours and can cause severe lung injury. This can lead to a condition called ARDS which is a very serious condition,” Dr Vikas Mittal, Associate Director - Pulmonology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, told ABP Live.ARDS refers to acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is a life-threatening condition where the lungs cannot provide enough oxygen to the body's vital organs, due to fluid buildup in the lung alveoli.Dr Mittal explained that the common notion that e-cigarettes are less harmful can make people more attracted to its use, leading them to using it more frequently.“Since e-cigarettes were initially promoted as harmless by manufacturers, and because it just contains nicotine vapours, the younger generation is attracted to it. Many teenagers vape in school, which is a major cause of concern. So, not only should the government look into this matter, but also make stricter rules to ensure that these vaping instruments and e-cigarettes are not available on any e-commerce websites, or any other source. People should be made aware about the harmful effects of inhaling nicotine in vapourised form, and the lung injury it can cause. This can be very dangerous, and can lead to acute lung injury. This makes e-cigarettes more dangerous than traditional cigarettes, which usually cause a long term injury,” Dr Mittal said.As experts said, spreading awareness among people, especially the youth, about the harmful effects of vaping, and stringent measures by the government to ensure that e-cigarettes are not obtained by citizens through any source can help reduce the use of these products.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.

On the occasion of World Music Day, in a candid conversation with ABP Live Yashraj Mukhate shared his journey of producing mashup videos, the impact of technology on Indian music, and many more.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Utsa Ganguly | Updated at : 21 Jun 2023 01:01 PM (IST)
World Music Day 2023: Yashraj Mukhate Shares His Inspiration Behind Creating Mashups. ( Image Source : Instagram/Yashraj Mukhate )New Delhi: Do you remember the popular 'Rasode Mein Kaun Tha' video, the viral mashup that took the internet by storm a few years back? Not just that, netizens also got hooked to 'Pawri Ho Rahi Hai' soon after. Numerous memes did the rounds on social media using these lines from the mashup videos. Yes, you guessed it right- we are talking about none other than Yashraj Muskhate. Creating a buzz on social media with his previous videos, Yashraj also made a song out of Shehnaaz Gill's dialogue from Bigg Boss and that too became an instant Internet meme. Speaking of Yashraj, he is a music producer, composer, lyricist and a social media influencer known for his outstanding and relatable mashup videos. On the occasion of World Music Day, in a candid conversation with ABP Live Yashraj shared his journey of producing mashup videos, the impact of technology on Indian music, and many more.Here are some excerpts from the interview:Can you share with us the story behind your journey into music production and creating viral mashup videos? Music has always been a part of my life since childhood. I learned it from my dad. I started experimenting and making music on social media by adding dialogues to my track from 2018 and in 2020 my first video got viral, which was 'Rasode Mein Kaun Tha'.Your mashup videos, particularly the 'Rasode Mein Kaun Tha' and 'Pawri Ho Rahi Hai' have become incredibly popular. What inspired you to create these unique and catchy compositions? Meme pages are my main source of content where I find all these weird/funny dialogue pieces and I love to sample them. But my primary goal was to make a track which will sound like a proper song if you remove the dialogue. If you listen closely, all my tracks are treated as proper songs which have a structure- an intro, a verse, a bridge and a chorus. That's why people find it easy to learn and they remember it word by word.Did you face any criticisms while creating these mashups? If yes, how did you deal with them? Not really, I'm very fortunate that most of the people who watch my videos really like them. There is always one out of the thousand good comments, which I can easily ignore.Can you highlight the impact of technology in the current scenario of Indian music? Technology has drastically changed the process of making and consuming music. It has become extremely easy to learn to create music. In addition to this, the number of platforms that provide free music streaming has also increased. This immense level of access has definitely had an impact on Indian music. With the help of auto tune, nowadays, almost everyone can sing. How is this affecting the music industry? I find it extremely fascinating that one can make themselves sound good with the use of a plugin like the autotune. It's like the filters you use to make yourself look good in your Instagram story. It's a tool one can use to make better stuff, which I think is pretty cool. I believe it is just assisting young music producers in creating melodious tunes. Besides mashups, would you like to work more on original compositions? What can the audience expect from them? Absolutely! This year is going to be full of original songs.What advice would you give to someone who wants to pursue a career in music production or creating viral content? Consume more content, especially the right kind of content. If you want to learn music, like and engage with music related content on the internet. Let the algorithm know what you like and it will help you back by recommending useful stuff. By doing this, you get to learn the craft and get an overall idea of the things that work and things that don't. Would you like to give any message on World Music Day? I'd just like to request my audience to listen to the music that I'll be releasing in the coming months. It's pretty cool. I've really enjoyed making it, I hope they like it too.Lights, Camera, Virality!

The probe was initiated following allegations made by Sanjay Bhandari, who claimed to have acted as a middleman in assisting Thales to win the contract. ( Image Source : Getty )French prosecutors are investigating defence company, Thales SA, for alleged bribery in relation to a $2.5 billion contract it won in 2011 to modernise the Indian Air Force’s fleet of Dassault Mirage 2000 fighter planes, reported Bloomberg. The investigation pertains to allegations made by Fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari, the report said. A person privy to the probe told Bloomberg that the investigation was initiated following allegations made by Sanjay Bhandari, who claimed to have acted as a middleman in assisting Thales to win the contract. The case focuses on whether payments to Bhandari were hidden bribes. However, a company spokeswoman said that Thales has never been questioned by prosecutors on the subject and it "strongly disputes" the charges regarding alleged payments made by the company in connection with the project. The Bloomberg report also stated that at 3.11 pm in Paris, Thales shares fell 3.5 per cent to €132.00, while Dassault Aviation SA, which produces the Mirage planes and holds a 25 per cent stake in Thales, saw a 2.6 per cent drop to €168.10.Also Read: Cash-Strapped Go First Cancels All Flights Till May 12, Full Refund To Be IssuedEarlier on Friday, France Info reported on the bribery investigation involving Thales. The report stated that Sanjay Bhandari had filed a lawsuit claiming that Thales owed him money for his role in securing the contract. However, a French commercial court dismissed this claim in October.According to the France Info report, Sanjay Bhandari seeking a settlement of €11 million, which he claims he was promised in exchange for his assistance in securing the contract for the modernisation of the Mirage-2000 fighter planes in India. Thales, along with Dassault (the major shareholder of Thales, along with the French State), won the $2.4 billion (1.6 billion euro) global contract on July 29, 2011.Thales claimed that it had no contract with Bhandari or his companies in connection with this project.

Sanjay Bhandari’s extradition was ordered in connection with a money laundering case probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The probe agency was fighting the case in a UK court on behalf of the Indian government.Bhandari came under investigation by the ED after the Income Tax authorities lodged a complaint against him under the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015. On June 1, 2020, the ED filed a chargesheet in the case against Bhandari and other individuals involved in the conspiracy, including several companies established by Bhandari in foreign jurisdictions. The ED alleges that Bhandari, an arms dealer, concealed illicit funds overseas with the help of his accomplices in order to evade taxes, causing significant financial losses to the national treasury.Direct Tax Collections On Path To Touch Rs 19 Lakh Crore In FY24ACC Higher Secondary School, Kymore Marks Centenary CelebrationsIndian Government’s Fiscal Deficit For April-Nov Narrows To Rs 9.07 TrillionBank Holidays In January 2024: Branches To Remain Closed For 16 Days, Check State-Wise Holiday ListMeesho Reports Maiden Profitable Quarter In FY24, Loss Narrows By 90% In First HalfULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam Govt'Why Does Narendra Modi Hate Muslims': Asaduddin Owaisi On Sunehri Bagh Masjid Demolition ThreatChhattisgarh CM Sai Allocates Portfolios, Deputy CM Vijay Sharma Gets Home Ministry'Cold Day' Alert Sounded In Delhi, Dense Fog Likely Over North India For Next 3 DaysShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: Report/body>

India vs Bangladesh, Cricket World Cup 2023 HIGHLIGHTS: Virat Kohli slammed a hundred as India beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets. Shubman Gill also scored a half-century.
India vs Bangladesh, Cricket World Cup 2023 HIGHLIGHTS: Virat Kohli slammed a hundred as India beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets. Shubman Gill also scored a half-century. Top StoriesBy : Saurabh Ganguly | Updated: 20 Oct 2023 12:08 AM (IST) Another great day on the field for Team India as they register their fourth win on the trot. They have eight points from four matches but are second on the table, tied on points with New Zealand, their next opponent in the league stage who have a better net run rate than them at this moment. India ticked plenty of boxes but Hardik Pandya's injury would be a major area of concern which could force them to make some changes, given that the New Zealand game is not too far away on Sunday (October 22). For now, it's thank you and good night from all of us at ABP LIVE. We will be back with our coverage of other World Cup 2023 fixtures.So that's that from the action on the field. Bangladesh had a good start but couldn't convert it to a big total despite being in a good position. The Indian bowlers once again found a way to come back. Ravindra Jadeja (2/38) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/40) were the stand out. In response, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill helped India off to a flier with Rohit falling for 48 and Gill making 53 but then it was Kohli who finished off the chase with a terrific innings, finishing off the match with a six. He remained unbeaten on 103* off 97. KL Rahul 34* off 34 and Shreyas Iyer- 19 were the other contributors with the bat. For Bangladesh, other than their openers Tanzid Hasan (51) and Litton Das (66), Mahmudullah also scored 46. With the ball in hand, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Hasan Mahmud were the wicket-takers but that wasn't enough as India beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets to taste their fourth win in a row this World Cup to go to 8 points from 4 matches.SIX from Kohli to get to the hundred and get India past their target. India win by 7 wickets. Fourth win in a row this World Cup for India. They remain undefeated in this tournament.He is into his 90s. Rahul has refused the single, knowing if Kohli gets all the runs, he will have another hundred to his name. Kohli goes four, six and a single off the final ball off that over. India need 8 to win, Kohli needs 8 for a hundred. IND- 249/3 after 40 overs.END OF OVER 39. IND- 238/3. IND need 19, Kohli needs 19 for a hundred.So India closing In On their Fourth Win of the tournament. They are unbeatean so far and the only other team that is unbeatean is New Zealand who they will face in their next match on October 22 (Sunday) in Dharamsala. Six singles off the 38th over. IND- 229/3. Virat Kohli- 73* off 77, KL Rahul- 33* off 33.Rahul wanting an early finish now. Probably the net run rate (NRR) on his mind.

They need 34 from 78 balls.3-run over from Mehidy Hasan Miraz but no wickets which is what Bangladesh would want , otherwise it's an easy win for India from here on.

IND- 171/2 after 27 overs.IND- 164/2 after 26 overs. The Hosts need 93 runs from 24 overs to go top of the table.A boundary and three singles from the 25th over.

Rohit Sharma- 41* off 37, Shubman Gill- 27* off 29 deliveries.Gill has upped the ante, probablt realising that it is the final over of the powerplay. He has smashed Nasum for two straight sixes in that over. India get 13 off that. After 10 overs, IND- 63/0.Fifty comes up for India. At the end of 9 overs, that's precisely what India's scoreboard reads for the loss of no wickets. Rohit- 37*, Gill- 13*.Spinner slipping in a quick over. 5 off it. A boundary and a single from Rohit off the first and final ball off the over.Despite a boundary which came off the edge of Gill's bat, India get 6 off that over. IND- 43/0 after 7 overs.Hasan Mahmud, right-arm medium, comes into the attack.A boundary and five dots in that Nasum over against Rohit.

IND- 26/0 after 3 overs.So after 2 overs, IND- 14/0. 8 coming off the first, 6 off the second.Mustafizur Rahman from the other end for Bangladesh. But it has been a flurry of boundaries to begin India's run chase. Two from the bat of Rohit in the first over, one from Gill to start the second over.The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma started the innings with a bang. A booming cover drive came out of his willow against Shoriful Islam in the very first over. What a way to get a boundary. Rohit did the same again, and got another boundary. So Bangladesh end their innings at 256/8. Good comeback once again by India after a record-breaking opening stand by Bangladesh openers Litton Das (66) and Tanzid Hasan (51). The duo added 93 for the opening wicket but after that India picked 4 for 44 to make a comeback ultimately restricting Bangladesh to 256 despite Mahmudullah's 46 off 36 and Mushfiqur Rahim's 38 off 46. Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/38 and 2/41 respectively. Mohammed Siraj also scalped 2/60. Kuldeep Yadav (1/47) and Shardul Thakur (1/59 off 9) were the other wicket takers. Hardik Pandya injured himself midway through his first over which had to be completed by Virat Kohli and did not feature in the rest of the innings. There is still no clarity on whether he will be able to bat in India's 257 run-chase but from what it looked like, it seems unlikely with the all-rounder having already been taken for scans.SIX over the covers to end the innings and Bangladesh manage 256/8. Shoriful Islam the batter who nailed that shot off Bumrah but India would be overall pleased with that performance on what is a belter of a surface.Boom Boom Bumrah!! What a peach of a delivery from Bumrah to get rid of Mahmudullah. It hit the bull's eye. Perfect yorker and the batter departs for 46 off 36 balls.BAN- 248/7 after 49 overs. Bumrah to bowl the final over.What a shot! That is what Mahmudullah is capable of. In his arc and out of the park for a maximum over deep midwicket. 8 off the first three balls. Three more balls remaining in the over.As expected, Siraj bowling the 49th over. Good thing for Bangladesh is that Mahmudullah is on strike.Despite a boundary, India concede just 5. Mahmudullah (37* off 30) somehow needs to find a way to keep more of the strike. BAN- 238/7 after 48 overs. 12 legal deliveries remaining in this innings.BAN- 233/7 after 47 overs. 3 overs to go. Bumrah will bowl 48th and 50th, Siraj, the 49th. Can Bangladesh cross 250? Siraj after being taken for two boundaries, gets a wicket. Just a heave from Nasum but manages an edge to the keeper. BAN-233/7 after 46.5 Overs.Should be Siraj and Bumrah to finish off from here for Team India. Siraj bowling his ninth and the 47th over of the innings.Mahmudullah targets Shardul and rightly so. Bangladesh get 15 runs off that over. A four and a six from the Bangladesh finisher. He is playing a good hand in this innings. BAN- 225/6 after 46 overs.Shardul Thakur into the attack. This could be his last over in the innings, given India need just one more him from him after Hardik having to walk off the field.End of another tidy over from Bumrah. After 45 overs, BAN- 210/6.So 44 overs have been bowled, BAN- 205/6. Kuldeep finishes with 1 for 47 off his 10 overs.Kuldeep Yadav will finish off his spell now. 9 overs, 1 for 43.Nasum Ahmed the new man in now for Bangladesh. After 43 overs, BAN- 201/6. WICKET! Another superb catch from Team India on the field. First it was KL Rahul behind the stumps, now it is Ravindra Jadeja at point with a beauty of a catch off the bowling of Bumrah to remove Mushfiqur Rahim. BAN- 201/6 after 42.3 Overs.Jadeja completes his quota of 10 overs. He finishes with 2 for 38. BAN- 199/5 after 42 overs.Good over for Bangladesh.

After this, Rohit Sharma will have the option of having five fielders guarding the fence.A boundary from the bat of Mahmudullah to end the over. Superb drive a much-needed stroke for Bangladesh. After 39 overs, BAN- 186/5.Mohammed Siraj bowling his eighth over from the other end.Mahmudullah has joined Mushfiqur. 3 singles and a wicket from that Thakur over. BAN-181/5 after 38 overs.Shardul picks up a a wicket. Hridoy, batting on 16, tried to take on probably India's weakest link in the attack but departs. Gill takes an easy catch inside the circle. Hridoy never looked settled and departs after scoring 16 off 35 balls without a boundary. Two overs off that fifth bowler remaining and so it is Shardul Thakur who returns.Bangladesh get 8 runs in that over without a boundary. After 37 overs, BAN- 178/4.Mohammed Siraj will have a spell now. Bangladesh looking to get some momentum into the innings after their run rate slumped below 5.5 runs off that Bumrah over then with the help of a boundary and a single from Mushfiqur. BAN- 170/4 after 36 overs.Bumrah to continue. Probably his last over of this spell or will he bowl another?Just a single off Kuldeep's eighth over. BAN-165/4 after 35 overs.

Another wicket for India and much like the game against Pakistan, despite a solid platform set by the opposition, the Indian bowlers have found a way to come back into this match.

BAN: 118/2Rohit hands the ball to Siraj for a second spell.So not a good news at all as Hardik Pandya will not feature in the remaining of this innings.

BAN-114/2 after 22 overs.Half-Century comes up for Litton Das. He gets there off 62 deliveries. END OF OVER 21.

BAN- 96/1.So end of a successful over from Kuldeep. He is so crucial to this team's composition and he has proven his utility once again removing Tanzid Hasan for 51 off 43 balls.

A ball which was quicker through the air and Tanzidm who was looking so good, tried to sweep it and missed. The ball crashed on to his pads and the umpire raised his finger straightaway. BAN- 93/1 after 14.4 overs.India probably under pressure for the first time this World Cup. The Bangladesh openers have put on 90 already and to add to their worries Hardik Pandya has been sidelined with an injury. There is no update yet but from what it looked like he might not return this innings. Their second all-rounder Thakur hasn't been at his best either and his 3 overs have gone for 28 without a wicket.Fifty comes up for Tanzid Hasan. Gets to the landmark off 41 balls. What a fine innings this from the left-hander. BAN- 90/0 after 14 overs.India still looking for their first wicket as Kuldeep Yadav concedes 10 runs off his second over.

Bangladesh openers have been superb in this game so far.Kuldeep Yadav into the attack then ahead of Ravindra Jadeja as India look for a breakthrough.End Of Powerplay. What a start this for Bangladesh. After 10 overs, BAN- 63/0. Tanzid Hasan- 40* (30), Litton Das- 21* off 30. Not looking good for India at the moment.It's Shardul Thakur who has come in to bowl the next over but he is being taken to the cleaners. He has gone for 0,6,4,6,0 off his first five balls. Tanzid Hasan the batter who has played some gorgeous strokes in this innings so far.Three good balls to end that over from Kohli. Not the most ideal circumtances under which he got the ball but boy did he deliver three decent deliveries. After the end of 9 overs, BAN- 47/0.While Hardik tried to complete his over, unfortunately it seems serious and he is having to get off the field. The crowd goes berserk as Virat Kohli steps in to complete his over. He has conceded 0,4,4 off his first three balls.Not the most ideal news for Team India, all-rounder Hardik Pandya seems to have twisted his ankle midway through his first over in the match. The physios are out in the middle and are treating him. If this is serious, then could be a massive blow to the Men in Blue.The story so far: Well a Shakib Al Hasan-less Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first. Their openers respected the conditions early on and were cautious to begin with their score 10/0 after 5 overs. However, they have now started to get a bit of a move on with a flurry of boundaries first off Mohammed Siraj and then Hardik Pandya who has come in first change and is bowling the ninth over.Thank you so much, Ashish Satyam. For the next phase of this match, it will be me, Saurabh Ganguly, trying to bring in every major update from the IND vs BAN World Cup 2023 match at the MCA Stadium in Pune.Tanzid Hasan hammered a massive six against Bumrah. That's a good shot!! Litton Das has smashed a terrific boundary against Siraj. He found a bit of room and hit it over the point fielder for a boundary. Bumrah is bowling at some serious pace. The Bangladesh openers are clueless as to how to face him.Siraj conceded a boundary against Tanzid Hasan. It was a full delivery and Tanzid played an uppish cover drive and got the result.Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das start batting. Bumrah bowls the first over.Players of both teams have arrived on the field for their respective national anthems.Rohit Sharma: I would have bowled first. It's working at this point of time, don't see any reason to change it. That's important in this WC, keeping everybody in good space. The boys are in good shape, good mental space as well and enjoying the cricket. So far so good, we want to continue this momentum, Same team.Najmul Hossain Shanto: Proud moment for me and my family. We'd like to bat today. Looks a fresh wicket. If we put some good score, it'll be good for the team. He (Shakib) is struggling a bit, Nasum is coming in for him. We have some great memories against India, hopefully we continue our form. I hope it'll be a great match. We love to see the crowd, hopefully they'll support both teams. Hasan comes in for Taskin.Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Nasum Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam.India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first. "It's a good pitch, has a history of lot of runs. It's a pitch where the seamers wouldn't mind bowling first up or maybe under lights as well. I don't see a turner. Definition of true pitch - you can bat really well, if you are a quality fast bowler, you get something out of it as well. It's a black soil pitch, there's grass covering which is not green. It'll hold the pitch nicely. High-scoring pitch for sure. I'll use the bouncer very regularly on this pitch. You can plays shots on the up", Sanjay Manjrekar and Irfan Pathan said.The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has collected 738 runs in 16 ODIs against Bangladesh at an outstanding average of 56.76 including 3 centuries.In the last four ODI games, Bangladesh have defeated India thrice.

Hyderabad-based Megha Engineering and China's BYD's joint venture proposed to set up an EV manufacturing plant in Telangana with a joint investment outlay of $1 billionRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 24 Jul 2023 06:30 PM (IST)
India received $2.5 billion FDI equity from China from April 2000 to March 2023. ( Image Source : Getty )The Centre has rejected a $1 billion investment proposal of Chinese electric car maker BYD and its Hyderabad-based partner Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL) to set up an electric vehicle manufacturing plant, citing sources privy to the development PTI said. According to the report, domestic infra major MEIL and BYD's joint venture proposed to set up an electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in Telangana with a joint investment outlay of $1 billion (around Rs 8,200 crore).Sources told the PTI that the proposal was submitted to the commerce and industry ministry which was circulated for necessary scrutiny and approval from the ministry of heavy industries, the ministry of external affairs and the home ministry. It was discussed and decided not to approve the proposal, they said.India received $2.5 billion FDI equity from China from April 2000 to March 2023. Comments from BYD could not be obtained as an email query remained unanswered. MEIL also did not respond to an e-mail seeking its comments on the development.
