New Delhi: National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Wednesday directed all banks issuing FASTags to undertake “immediate” validation of vehicle registration numbers (VRNs) linked to the smart tags issued by them. The banks have been directed to blacklist FASTags that are found linked to incorrect or invalid VRNs.The decision follows some complaints that VRN captured by FASTag readers did not match with the registration number displayed on the vehicle’s number plate. “Such discrepancies have the potential to undermine enforcement mechanisms and may lead to evasion of govt revenue and also attract penal provisions under Motor Vehicles Act,” the highways authority said.It said that a considerable number of such mismatches are associated with FASTags that were issued prior to the integration of tags with Vahan database.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’India In Talks With Many Countries Over Hormuz’: MEA Amid US’ Naval BlockadeTamil Nadu elections 2026: Freebies war heats up between DMK, AIADMK & rivals’Not Shehbaz Sharif’: Ex-Minister Fawad Chaudhry Calls Asim Munir ‘De Facto Leader Of Pakistan’TCS Row Explodes: Horrific Details Of Sexual Abuse, Conversion Claims Rock India’s CorporateWomen’s Reservation Bill A ‘Trick’ To Hike Lok Sabha Seats? | Delimitation | Slam Dunk With TehseenIndia Bloc Backs Women’s Reservation But Opposes Delimitation, Flags Risk Of Political Power Shift‘Completely Unacceptable’: Jaishankar Slams Attacks On Merchant Shipping At Azec Plus MeetWomen’s Quota Bill: Govt Clarifies 850-Seat Lok Sabha Plan, Opposition Flags Delimitation ConcernsIndian Delegation To Visit Washington Next Week To Resume Talks On India-US Trade DealDelimitation Row Escalates As TN CM Stalin Warns Of Statewide Protests123Photostories8 ’90s baby names making a comeback with Gen AlphaChef Vikas Khanna makes it to 100 Most Influential People of 2026: 5 success lessons to learn from his culinary journeyFrom growing up in a conservative family to shooting her debut music video without informing them: Naagin 7’s Kanika Mann opens up about her journeyChandigarh’s Billionaire Lanes: 5 premium regions where the city’s rich live6 desi Indian dishes among Top 32 Rice Puddings in the WorldRanveer Allahbadia’s girlfriend Juhi Bhatt is redefining traditional wedding dressing with contemporary elegancePriyanka Chopra recommends this must-try street food from Mumbai, and it’s not Vada PavFrom ‘Fleabag’ to ‘Arrested Development’: Some of the best dark comedy dramas to add to your watchlist5 iconic modern architectural buildings in India shaping contemporary cityscapesCountries named after people you probably didn’t know about123Hot PicksIran warDisney layoffsPurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingTaylor Swift Wedding DressCanada Citizenship GarbaUK Migrant Gay ClaimsCBSE Class 12 ResultNirav ModiOmar Tricolour RowKargil Statehood DemandIPL Points TableIran crude oilMeenu Batra

Why your ‘squeaky clean’ hand-washed dishes might not be clean at all |

Visually clean dishes don’t guarantee actual cleanliness, as handwashing often fails to remove invisible residues and bacteria. Studies reveal that manual methods, limited by water temperature and soap chemistry, can even relocate contaminants. There’s something about dishwashing in the kitchen sink with your hands buried in hot water that is very calming – especially after…

NEW DELHI: Around 12 lakh households across 11 states and Union Territories have self-enumerated so far for the houselisting operations (HLO) phase of Census 2027. More than half of these households availed of the self-enumeration facility in the past four-five days.With the conclusion of the 15-day self-enumeration window on Wednesday across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Goa, Karnataka, Odisha, NDMC and cantonment areas of Delhi NCR, Mizoram, Sikkim and Lakshadweep, the census field operations, involving house-to-house visits by the enumerators, in these eight states/UTs will begin on Thursday.The field operations will last a month – till May 15. Given that 12 lakh households who have enumerated so far are only a minuscule percentage of the total population of the eight states, enumerator visits will be crucial to capturing the complete and accurate data on housing conditions and household amenities. The HLO phase forms an essential foundation for evidence-based planning and formulation of welfare and development programmes, a home ministry spokesperson said.The self-enumeration window is open till April 19 in Gujarat and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu and till April 24 in Uttarakhand.

Rajnath Singh (ANI image)  Karandighi (WB): Hitting the campaign trail in West Bengal, defence minister Rajnath Singh Wednesday slammed CM Mamata Banerjee for deindustrialisation of the state, alleged a reign of fear and appeasement on her watch and projected the polls as a fight for land and existence by the local population against infiltrators.”You want fear or security, corruption or development, intimidation or democracy,” he asked an enthusiastic crowd at Kumarganj in South Dinajpur and then said, “…time has come for you to vote for BJP for justice and development.”His assertion that a BJP govt will identify and expel infiltrators and reference to “bulldozer action” against criminals drew loud cheers from the crowd at another meeting in North Dinajpur. While Mamata accuses BJP of being outsiders, she considers infiltrators as her own, he said, citing the efforts of the Modi govt to bestow high honours on Bengali icons like Subhas Chandra Bose and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and the party’s association with Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee to emphasise its connection with the state.In Dakshin Dinajpur, he expressed confidence of BJP coming to office in the state but cautioned voters that if they miss the chance to vote out the “corrupt” and “lawless” TMC govt, then Mamata will take West Bengal back to the stone age. TMC now stands for “total misrule and corruption”, he said.He charged the TMC govt with appeasement of Muslims, raising the issue of its inclusion of 75 Muslim castes among 77 communities included in the OBC category and its emphasis on infra development done in minority-dominated areas. While decrying development guided by caste and religious priorities, he assured Muslims, who are nearly half of the population in North Dinajpur, that a BJP govt will be guided by justice and humanity. It will appease no one, he added. TMC has presided over a “corrupt” system where victims of crimes find it hard to receive justice. “A reign of fear and insecurity prevails under TMC and the state has been put on a ventilator,” he said, contrasting this with the country’s overall economic growth under Modi.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’India In Talks With Many Countries Over Hormuz’: MEA Amid US’ Naval BlockadeTamil Nadu elections 2026: Freebies war heats up between DMK, AIADMK & rivals’Not Shehbaz Sharif’: Ex-Minister Fawad Chaudhry Calls Asim Munir ‘De Facto Leader Of Pakistan’TCS Row Explodes: Horrific Details Of Sexual Abuse, Conversion Claims Rock India’s CorporateWomen’s Reservation Bill A ‘Trick’ To Hike Lok Sabha Seats? | Delimitation | Slam Dunk With TehseenIndia Bloc Backs Women’s Reservation But Opposes Delimitation, Flags Risk Of Political Power Shift‘Completely Unacceptable’: Jaishankar Slams Attacks On Merchant Shipping At Azec Plus MeetWomen’s Quota Bill: Govt Clarifies 850-Seat Lok Sabha Plan, Opposition Flags Delimitation ConcernsIndian Delegation To Visit Washington Next Week To Resume Talks On India-US Trade DealDelimitation Row Escalates As TN CM Stalin Warns Of Statewide Protests123PhotostoriesGauranga Das shares 3 ways to deal with toxic family membersChef Vikas Khanna makes it to 100 Most Influential People of 2026: 5 success lessons to learn from his culinary journeyFrom growing up in a conservative family to shooting her debut music video without informing them: Naagin 7’s Kanika Mann opens up about her journeyAre you about to get fired? 3 warning signs to watch out for and 5 ways to save your job, shares Ankur WarikooChandigarh’s Billionaire Lanes: 5 premium regions where the city’s rich live6 desi Indian dishes among Top 32 Rice Puddings in the WorldRanveer Allahbadia’s girlfriend Juhi Bhatt is redefining traditional wedding dressing with contemporary elegancePriyanka Chopra recommends this must-try street food from Mumbai, and it’s not Vada PavFrom ‘Fleabag’ to ‘Arrested Development’: Some of the best dark comedy dramas to add to your watchlist5 iconic modern architectural buildings in India shaping contemporary cityscapes123Hot PicksIran warDisney layoffsPurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingTaylor Swift Wedding DressCanada Citizenship GarbaUK Migrant Gay ClaimsCBSE Class 12 ResultNirav ModiOmar Tricolour RowKargil Statehood DemandIPL Points TableIran crude oilMeenu Batra
