For decades, scientists believed they understood how material moves deep inside the Earth. The basic theory seemed simple enough. Tectonic plates slowly shift across the planet, some slide beneath others, and the remains of these plates sink into the mantle and eventually disappear. Yet new research has revealed something unexpected far below the Pacific Ocean….

Comedian Kunal Kamra has sparked controversy with a social media post featuring a T-shirt seemingly mocking the RSS. The BJP has reacted strongly, with leaders warning of police action against such objectionable content. This incident follows Kamra’s previous clashes with political figures, including Prime Minister Modi and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra (Picture from X) NEW DELHI: Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has once again landed in controversy — this time over a photo he shared online wearing a T-shirt that appeared to mock the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The post quickly triggered outrage within the BJP, with the saffron party warning of police action.Maharashtra minister and senior BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule said the government would not ignore such posts. “The police would take action against anyone who puts out such objectionable posts,” he warned, responding to Kamra’s picture that showed a dog image alongside a reference to the RSS, the ideological parent of the BJP.Shiv Sena cabinet minister Sanjay Shirsat — whose party is a BJP ally — said the saffron party must respond strongly this time, recalling Kamra’s past potshots at both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde. “Earlier, he targeted Prime Minister Modi and Eknath Shinde, and now he has dared to directly attack the RSS. The BJP needs to respond to this,” Shirsat said.“We (Shiv Sena) responded to it (to Kamra’s critical comments on Shinde earlier this year). Now, he has mustered the courage to make an objectionable post against the RSS,” he added.This is not Kamra’s first clash with political leaders. In March, he sparked a storm after mocking Shinde during a show by tweaking the lyrics of a popular Hindi film song. Angered by his remarks, Shiv Sena workers later vandalised the Habitat Comedy Club in Mumbai’s Khar — the venue where Kamra had performed — as well as the hotel building it is housed in.Amid the fresh uproar, Kamra remained defiant. He clarified online that the photograph linked to the RSS reference was not “clicked at a comedy club,” pushing back against suggestions that the image was part of a performance.BJP leaders continue to call his post insulting and provocative.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.

CISF personnel displayed extraordinary courage, foiling a Pakistani retaliation that put the Uri hydroelectric plant under risk and nearby residents amidst intense shelling. Their swift actions led to the safe evacuation of 250 civilians and secured critical national assets. Nineteen CISF members were honored for their bravery during this high-risk operation following India’s retaliatory ‘Operation Sindoor’. (Source: NHPC) NEW DELHI: Pakistan’s retaliation put the Uri hydroelectric plant near the Line of Control (LoC) under significant risk during a high-risk security situation that unfolded after India launched Operation Sindoor. However, the CISF successfully foiled the attempted attack, protecting both the power project and the residents living nearby.On Tuesday, the CISF honoured 19 of its personnel with the director general’s disc for their extraordinary courage during this high-risk situation. The awards were presented at a ceremony in the CISF headquarters, where the leadership praised the team for safeguarding a critical national installation during intense cross-border shelling.Untold Bravery in Operation Sindoor: CISF Reveals It Foiled Pakistan Attack on Uri Hydro Power PlantThe CISF provided counterterror security cover to the Uri Hydro Electric Power Projects (UHEP-I and II), located along the Jhelum river in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district, located 8-10 kms from the LoC.The personnel have been honoured and recognise for their door-to-door evacuation of civilians in the time of high military tensions. The troops evacuated women, children, NHPC (national hydroelectric power corporation) staff and their families — amidst Pakistani shelling.”Their prompt and fearless actions ensured the safe evacuation of around 250 civilians, preventing any loss of life. Even as rounds landed dangerously close to the premises, the personnel continued to reinforce bunkers, maintain communication lines through POLNET and satellite systems, and provide emergency assistance,” the statement said.The troops also neutralised “hostile” drones targeting Indian installations and secured armoury stockpiles by quickly redistributing weapons to avoid potential destruction, it added.Throughout the crisis, the “integrity” of critical national assets remained protected due to the vigilance and preparedness of the CISF personnel, the statement said.Commandant Ravi Yadav, along with deputy commandant Manohar Singh and assistant commandant Subash Kumar, led teams at Uri-I and Uri-II in initiating immediate protective measures for the installations and nearby townships.The personnel recognised include constables, head constables, inspectors and sub-inspectors from both Uri units. Among them are Constables Sushil Vasant Kamble, Raziqe Ahmad Abdul Rafique, Wankhede Ravindra Gulab, Tridev Chakma, Sohan Lal, Mufeed Ahmad, Mahesh Kumar and Sandenaboina Raju; Head Constables Gurjit Singh, Manoj Kumar Sharma and Ram Lal; Inspector Deepak Kumar Jha; Sub-inspectors Anil Kumar and Deepak Kumar; and Assistant Sub-Inspectors Rajeev Kumar and Sukhdev Singh.According to the CISF, “They carried out real-time analysis of incoming shell trajectories, identified safe zones and organised the relocation of residents to bunker shelters.”India launched Operation Sindoor on the intervening night of May 6-7, under which 9 major terror hideouts were blown to bits in Pakistan and PoK. This counterterror action was taken as a strong retaliatory measure after a Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack in South Kashmir’s Pahalgam.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.
