A viral video shows the difficulties of walking on Indian footpaths. Content creator Caleb Friesen struggled with a baby stroller in Bengaluru, encountering numerous obstructions. His post humorously ranked these obstacles, placing pedestrians last. The video has sparked conversations about footpath accessibility across Indian cities. Friesen aims to raise awareness about these issues. Screengrab from viral video (Image/X) NEW DELHI: A video showing the challenges of walking on Indian footpaths, especially for parents and pedestrians, has gone viral on social media. The 32-second clip, posted on Thursday by Canadian content creator and podcaster Caleb Friesen, shows him navigating a baby stroller along a footpath and highlighted the reality of being a pedestrian parent in India.In the video, Friesen struggles to manoeuvre the stroller around obstacles including electrical poles, power junction boxes and other common footpath obstructions. Shots Fired At Kapil Sharma’s Cafe In Canada For Third Time; Bishnoi Gang Claims ResponsibilitySharing the video on X, he sarcastically listed the “descending order of importance” for things found on Indian footpaths, placing pedestrians and parents with strollers at the bottom. The list goes as: Power junction boxesElectrical polesHoardingsFood stallsDarshini overflowParked vehiclesTreesPotted plantsPedestriansParents with strollers/differently-abled in wheelchairsFriesen confirmed that the location was a footpath on 100 Feet Road in Bangalore. Explaining the issue further, he told one user that the problem was not the bollards, which prevent two-wheelers from entering the footpath, but the massive power junction boxes occupying half the space.The post has drawn widespread attention, garnering over 230K views. Many users empathised with Friesen’s experience, sharing their own struggles navigating uneven or blocked footpaths in Indian cities.One user wrote, “It’s brave of you to do this experiment. Last week in Pune, my father tried to roll a suitcase on the footpath and slipped because it got stuck in a pothole. Tier-1 cities don’t even provide a seamless 100m path.” Another user cautioned him, “For your kid’s safety, please avoid walking on the footpath. Better safe than sorry.”This is not Friesen’s first post highlighting footpath hazards. Last month, he shared a video of his 2.4 km walk from Majestic bus stand to a nearby Starbucks, pointing out obstacles such as tunnel juice, barbed wire, desire paths, bushwhacking, pavement pudding and a stairwell into a drain.Despite his wry commentary, he emphasised that his intention is not to criticise India but to raise awareness.

A Belgian court on Friday ordered the extradition of fugitive Mehul Choksi to India, news agency PTI reported citing officials. Choksi faces charges related to the massive Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case.”The order has come in our favour. The court has termed his arrest by the Belgian authorities on India’s request valid. The first legal step in getting him extradited is now clear,” a senior official told PTI.Belgian Court Clears Fugitive Jeweller Mehul Choksi’s Extradition To IndiaOfficials stated that the order marks a significant validation of India’s efforts to secure Mehul Choksi’s extradition, although he still has the option to appeal the decision in a higher Belgian court. Prosecutors argued before the court that Choksi poses a flight risk and should not be released from custody, the officials told PTI. Choksi, who relocated to Belgium in 2023 after leaving Antigua and Barbuda, was arrested there in April following India’s extradition request. He and his nephew Nirav Modi are accused of defrauding the bank of over Rs 13,000 crore.India had earlier assured Belgian authorities that if extradited, Choksi will be housed in Barrack No. 12 at Arthur Road jail, Mumbai, with adequate space and no risk of overcrowding or solitary confinement. The Union home ministry, in a September 4 communique, confirmed that the cell meets the Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) of Europe’s minimum space standards.Also read: How India plans to keep Mehul Choksi in Mumbai jailChoksi fled to Antigua and Barbuda, where he acquired citizenship, before being apprehended in Belgium. India’s agencies swiftly coordinated to secure his extradition. The cell assigned to Choksi measures roughly 20 by 15 feet, with a separate toilet, ventilation, and security measures. Inmates receive daily cleaning, fresh water, outdoor exercise, board games, yoga sessions, and access to media and telemedicine. Weekly family visits and daily legal consultations are permitted.What is the case against Mehul Choksi?Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi are accused in a Rs 13,000 crore fraud involving fraudulent Letters of Undertaking issued by Punjab National Bank. Nirav Modi, a declared fugitive economic offender, is currently jailed in London and contesting extradition. The CBI’s extradition request cites the UN conventions against corruption and organised crime, supported by arrest warrants from Mumbai courts. The fraud involved PNB issuing 165 LoUs and 58 Foreign Letters of Credit in 2017 without limits or proper records, leading to massive losses covered by the bank.Authorities allege that loans were obtained from overseas banks across locations including Mauritius, Hong Kong, Antwerp, and Frankfurt based on these fraudulent guarantees. When the companies failed to repay, PNB was forced to pay over Rs 6,300 crore, including interest, to these foreign banks.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: Authorities in Ladakh’s Leh district have reimposed restrictions over concerns about potential threats to public peace and order, officials told PTI. This comes just a day after restrictions were lifted following a 22-day curfew triggered by violent protests demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh. The earlier unrest left four people dead and over 80 injured.Prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) were first imposed on September 24, banning gatherings of five or more people. District Magistrate Romil Singh Donk had lifted the curbs on Wednesday, citing a report by the Senior Superintendent of Police indicating no imminent threat.Ladakh Statehood Violence: BJP Blames Congress While Sonam Wangchuk Says Gen-Z Led The ProtestsEarlier today, the Centre moved to address a key demand of protesting Ladakh groups by announcing a judicial inquiry into the violent clashes that took place on September 24 in Leh. The violence, which resulted in the deaths of four individuals, including a 1999 Kargil war veteran, had escalated tensions in the region.The inquiry will be led by retired Supreme Court judge Justice B.S. Chauhan, and is tasked with investigating the events surrounding the clashes, police actions, and the resulting fatalities. The probe aims to address the concerns raised by local groups, particularly regarding the need for an impartial investigation.The violence occurred amid a protest by residents demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh, and it left 90 others injured.

. New Delhi: Raising questions on the state’s “involvement and interference” in conversion procedures under the UP Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act and terming it conspicuous, Supreme Court Friday quashed criminal proceedings under the law against the vice-chancellor and other officials of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Science after finding infirmities in the probe.Without going into the validity of the UP law, which is pending in the apex court, a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra touched upon the interplay of privacy, the right to freedom of free profession and practice of religion, and the role of govt authorities. It said an individual’s autonomy is supreme in the choice of faith and belief that are intrinsic in matters such as marriage and in which the court has prohibited the state as well as the law from controlling the choice of choosing a partner or even limiting or regulating the ability to decide on such matters. “The constitutional validity of provisions of the Act does not fall for our consideration in the instant case. Nonetheless, we can’t help but observe that the provisions of the Act pertaining to the pre-and post-conversion declaration seem to introduce a very onerous procedure to be followed by an individual seeking to adopt a faith other than the one he professes, the bench said.It said, “The involvement and interference of state authorities in the conversion procedure is also conspicuous, with the district magistrate having been legally obliged to direct a police enquiry in each case of intended religious conversion. Further, the statutory requirement of making public the personal details of each person who has converted to a different religion may require a deeper examination to ascertain if such a requirement fits well with the privacy regime pervading the Constitution.”The bench quashed the multiple FIRs filed in the case on various grounds, including that the UP law mandates that only an aggrieved person or their relative by blood, marriage or adoption can lodge an FIR with respect to acts of unlawful conversion and the case cannot be filed by a third party.This story had continued from a page 1 story in the newspaper.

. New Delhi: “The success against Maoist terrorists, who committed unspeakable atrocities against Dalits, tribals and the youth, has been the cause of immense satisfaction in life,” PM Modi said on Friday, emphasising that this was the first time that he was speaking on the success of operations against left-wing extremists.“During the last 50-55 years, thousands of lives were lost due to Maoist terror. A large number of security personnel were killed. They would not allow construction of schools and hospitals, would not let doctors work.

The President had framed 14 questions related to jurisdiction of SC and the ambit of its exclusive powers under Article 142 after a two-judge bench led by Justice J B Pardiwala had on Apr 8 granted deemed assent to 10 TN bills pending for months before the governor.Appearing for TN, senior advocates A M Singhvi and Mukul Rohatgi said the governor cannot scrutinise the bills clause by clause to declare its repugnancy to central laws and refer it to the President.“If the governor was to test the repugnancy of bills, then he should be sitting in SC and not in Raj Bhavan,” Rohatgi said.Solicitor general Tushar Mehta said governors, since the coming into force of the Constitution in 1950, have been testing the repugnancy of bills and it is not a recent practice. Moreover, he presented statistics before the court to show that only a minuscule of the bills sent to governors have been referred to the President.He said of the 6,942 bills sent to governors in all states since 2015, assent has been granted in 6,481 bills, 50 have been returned with a message to assemblies, assent has been withheld in 11 and 381 bills have been reserved for consideration of the President.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBelgian Court Clears Fugitive Jeweller Mehul Choksi’s Extradition To IndiaPortfolios Allocated To Gujarat’s New Ministers After Major Cabinet ReshufflePakistan Seeks Trump’s Intervention After Afghan-Taliban Forces Humiliate Pak Army In Border ClashDense Chhattisgarh Forests No Longer Safe For Naxals, Over 200 Maoists Lay Down ArmsChina Breaks Silence on Border Clash, Follows India To Tell Pakistan, Afghanistan to End CrisisPakistan-Afghanistan Border Tensions Explode Ahead Of Ceasefire Deadline: Blast Kills 7 Pak Soldiers‘Jungle Raj’: Amit Shah Slams RJD For Fielding Shahabuddin’s Son In Bihar ElectionsAir Power, Tech Will Define Future Wars: Defence Secretary Rajesh Singh at Tejas Mk1A Showcase EventHAL Celebrates Maiden Flight of the First Tejas Mk1A Fighter Jet Manufactured at its Nashik FacilityRahul Gandhi Meets Family of Lynched Dalit in UP, Claims Govt Threatened Them and Calls for Action123 Photostories Hindi parallel cinema gems that reshaped storytelling with power, purpose and heart7 types of rotis, their digestion time, and the right weather to eat6 essential skills you need to outsmart AI and stay ahead in the future of workMorning-after rescue: Natural remedies to recover from Diwali drinksDhanteras 2025: 5 minimal gold ring designs perfect for daily wear10 mind-blowing superpowers of chameleonsFrom Archana Puran Singh’s nostalgic Dehradun Diwali to fun housie nights with staff – Archana and Parmeet Sethi’s cherished family Diwali memories3 superfoods to control cholesterol and the right way to consume them6 ways to set healthy boundaries without pushing others awayFun facts about ‘Alpha’ star Sharvari Wagh123Hot PicksGold Silver PriceRiyadh AirBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays OctoberBank Holidays OctoberTop TrendingCardi BCarson WentzTrevon DiggsJustin HerbertStephen CurryJoel EmbiidLeBron JamesCarolina HurricanesLeon DraisaitlStephanie Lachances

. New Delhi: A Belgian court on Friday upheld the arrest of fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi by Belgian police on India’s request and approved his extradition to face trial in Rs 13,000 crore bank fraud case. This significant development comes after Choksi’s arrest in Antwerp in April this year.Choksi, uncle of another high-profile fugitive Nirav Modi who is in jail in UK, can appeal the order in a higher court in the next 15 days. However, officials in India expressed satisfaction over the development saying that Belgian court’s order marked an important step towards his return to India.

. NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Friday sought to know from the ministry of home affairs and CBI what pan-India action was required to unearth cybercrime syndicates extorting money from people, especially senior citizens, by threatening them with digital arrest.“We are of the prima facie view that stern action on panIndia basis with coordinated efforts between central (agencies) and state police is required to unearth the full extent of this criminal enterprise involving forgery of judicial documents, cyber extortion and cyber arrest of innocent people, especially senior citizens,” a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said. Microsoft SharePoint HACKED: Global Cyber Threat Explained! The order came in a writ petition registered suo motu by SC after a septuagenarian couple from Ambala alleged that fraudsters forced them to part with over Rs 1 crore by displaying forged SC orders through WhatsApp and video conferencing. “We are aghast that the fraudsters fabricated judicial orders in the name of SC and various other documents,” the court said. The bench said ordinarily it would have ordered the Ambala cyber cell to expedite the probe but when judicial orders and judge’s signatures were forged with impunity, and the crime appeared to be spreading to many parts of the country, coordinated investigation was required. It requested attorney general R Venkataramani to assist the court in the matter. “Forgery of documents and brazen criminal misuse of the name, seal, and judicial authority of SC or (Bombay) HC is a matter of grave concern. The fabrication of judicial orders bearing forged signatures of judges strikes at the very foundation of public trust in the judicial system, besides the rule of law,” SC said. “Such acts constitute a direct assault on the dignity and majesty of this institution; therefore, such grave criminal acts cannot be treated as ordinary or routine offences of cheating or cybercrime.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosBelgian Court Clears Fugitive Jeweller Mehul Choksi’s Extradition To IndiaPortfolios Allocated To Gujarat’s New Ministers After Major Cabinet ReshufflePakistan Seeks Trump’s Intervention After Afghan-Taliban Forces Humiliate Pak Army In Border ClashDense Chhattisgarh Forests No Longer Safe For Naxals, Over 200 Maoists Lay Down ArmsChina Breaks Silence on Border Clash, Follows India To Tell Pakistan, Afghanistan to End CrisisPakistan-Afghanistan Border Tensions Explode Ahead Of Ceasefire Deadline: Blast Kills 7 Pak Soldiers‘Jungle Raj’: Amit Shah Slams RJD For Fielding Shahabuddin’s Son In Bihar ElectionsAir Power, Tech Will Define Future Wars: Defence Secretary Rajesh Singh at Tejas Mk1A Showcase EventHAL Celebrates Maiden Flight of the First Tejas Mk1A Fighter Jet Manufactured at its Nashik FacilityRahul Gandhi Meets Family of Lynched Dalit in UP, Claims Govt Threatened Them and Calls for Action123 Photostories Dhanteras 2025: 5 best AI prompts to generate gold jewellery looks for the festive seasonHindi parallel cinema gems that reshaped storytelling with power, purpose and heart7 types of rotis, their digestion time, and the right weather to eat6 essential skills you need to outsmart AI and stay ahead in the future of workMorning-after rescue: Natural remedies to recover from Diwali drinksDhanteras 2025: 5 minimal gold ring designs perfect for daily wear10 mind-blowing superpowers of chameleonsFrom Archana Puran Singh’s nostalgic Dehradun Diwali to fun housie nights with staff – Archana and Parmeet Sethi’s cherished family Diwali memories3 superfoods to control cholesterol and the right way to consume them6 ways to set healthy boundaries without pushing others away123Hot PicksGold Silver PriceRiyadh AirBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays OctoberBank Holidays OctoberTop TrendingCardi BCarson WentzTrevon DiggsJustin HerbertStephen CurryJoel EmbiidLeBron JamesCarolina HurricanesLeon DraisaitlStephanie Lachances
