VK News Today https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html At 87%, Bengaluru tops Indian cities in dowry cases, says NCRB report KOLKATA: With rain clouds looming over the city, round-the-clock preparations are underway at the Brigade Parade Ground to make the sprawling venue rain-proof for Saturday’s oath-taking ceremony of Bengal’s first BJP government.Heavy showers on Thursday and Friday left large sections of Maidan slushy and waterlogged, forcing the authorities and event planners to rapidly scale up rain-protection measures to ensure that the mega event proceeds without any disruptions. As a contingency measure, the BJP has also kept Netaji Indoor Stadium ready as an alternative venue.At the centre of the preparations is a massive 3 lakh square feet waterproof hangar tent erected to provide cover in case of rain. Additional tarpaulins have been kept ready to expand the covered area, if needed.More than 1,000 workers are working continuously in shifts to restore the rain-hit ground. Seating capacity has been increased from 50,000 to 80,000 barely a day before the ceremony. The main dais has been divided into three sections – one will accommodate Modi, Shah and CMs and deputy CMs of BJP-ruled states. Another section has been reserved for the governor and official formalities, while the third will host CM-designate Suvendu Adhikari and his ministers.About the AuthorTamaghna BanerjeeTamaghna Banerjee, a reporter from Kolkata, covers crime, aviation, human rights and politics.

T. V. Dhinakaran that the document was forged amid the fast-moving government formation battle in Tamil Nadu.The row erupted after Dhinakaran rushed to Lok Bhavan to meet Governor Rajendra Arlekar and submitted a letter asserting that AMMK’s lone MLA-elect remained loyal to the NDA and AIADMK alliance. He also backed AIADMK chief Edappadi K. Palaniswami as the alliance’s chief ministerial candidate.However, TVK dismissed the allegations and released a video claiming it showed Kamaraj voluntarily writing the support letter.“These are the video visuals of AMMK MLA Kamaraj voluntarily and happily writing a letter expressing his support for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. He had stated that he was extending support to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam with the approval of AMMK General Secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran,” the party said.TVK further alleged that false information was now being circulated to discredit the development. “However, the information now being spread that he did not write the letter is completely false and contrary to the truth. It is essential for everyone to clearly understand this. Concealing all these facts, T.T.V. Dhinakaran is continuing to spread false news and misinformation,” the statement added.The Vijay-led party also insisted it was not indulging in political bargaining to secure support. “The public should understand that the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam has no need to bargain or negotiate with anyone,” it said.TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the 234-member Assembly with 108 seats, falling 10 short of the majority mark. The party has since been seeking backing from smaller parties and independents to stake claim to form the government.Congress, which won five seats, along with CPI and CPI(M), which secured two seats each, have already extended support to TVK, marking a dramatic political realignment in the state and putting pressure on the long-standing DMK-Congress alliance.Congress MP Manickam Tagore accused political rivals of attempting to block Vijay’s path to power despite what he described as a public mandate.“Those who were defeated by the people are once again rearing their heads and attempting to prevent Mr Vijay from becoming Chief Minister,” Tagore wrote on X, adding, “Power may delay the people’s verdict, but it can never suppress it forever.”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.

However, unlike Covid-19, the infection does not spread easily and generally requires prolonged close exposure.“Hantavirus is a rodent-borne viral infection that can affect the lungs and kidneys. In severe lung involvement, known as cardiopulmonary hantavirus disease, mortality can reach 30-50%. However, unlike Covid-19, it is not highly contagious and is mainly transmitted through contact with infected rodent saliva, urine or droppings,” said Dr G.C. Khilnani, Chairman, PSRI Institute of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine.He said India has so far seen only sporadic cases and there is no immediate public-health threat. Dr Khilnani advised people to keep homes rodent-free and use wet cleaning instead of dry sweeping in contaminated areas because infected particles can become airborne during cleaning.Medical literature from India has documented rare hantavirus infections earlier too. A case report published in the Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine described Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in a Mumbai woman shortly after childbirth. Doctors had initially suspected dengue or leptospirosis because the symptoms overlapped before hantavirus antibodies were later detected.Dr N.K. Ganguly, Chairperson, Department of Biotechnology and Research at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said the Andes strain had earlier been linked to outbreaks in Argentina and may initially resemble a Covid-like respiratory illness.“Patients may first develop fever, body ache, malaise and mild respiratory symptoms before some rapidly deteriorate and require intensive care,” he said.Dr Ganguly added that India’s healthcare system is now better prepared after Covid-19, with advanced hospitals capable of detecting hantavirus through respiratory virus testing panels. Suspected patients would be isolated and managed under respiratory infection protocols, though no proven antiviral treatment currently exists.A senior health ministry official said WHO is coordinating international response measures under the International Health Regulations mechanism, including diagnostic support, epidemiological assessment, and arrangements for safe disembarkation of passengers and crew.The Public Health Emergency Operations Centre under IDSP-NCDC has also held a high-level review meeting to assess the situation and preparedness measures. The Union health ministry is maintaining close coordination with WHO and other international partners, the official added.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

Several other buildings, including the Assembly House, Kolkata Collectorate and Akashvani Bhavan, will be similarly decked with orange hues from around 5.30 pm.Many state govt buildings received a blue-and-white makeover after Mamata Banerjee assumed office in 2011, but a few heritage buildings like Writers’, the state secretariat till 2013, and the Kolkata Collectorate retained the red and off-white shade.Inside the Writers’ Buildings, where the new CM Suvendu Adhikari is expected to step in around afternoon after taking oath at Brigade Parade Ground followed by a trip to the Raj Bhavan to complete formalities, work was underway at a furious pace to complete a makeshift Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) for the symbolic visit.

And without a registry to officially quantify how many suffer from it, patients and their families are struggling to get it included as a rare disease. Caught in this chicken-and-egg situation, the Huntington Disease Society, India – formed by families of persons suffering from the disease, doctors and researchers – gathered in the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology to discuss advances in treatment options and ways of making them accessible to patients in India.Unlike most rare diseases included in the official list which are paediatric diseases, the symptoms of Huntington’s disease, caused by a genetic mutation inherited from a parent, typically appear between 30-50 years of age and the symptoms progressively worsen over 15-20 years. The National Policy for Rare Diseases (NPRD), 2021, was updated in Aug 2024 when the list of diseases listed under it was expanded from 55-63 with diseases such as Laron syndrome and Glanzmann Thrombasthenia being added. This has made the Huntington Disease Society hopeful.”Recognising Huntington’s Disease under NPRD and ensuring PMJAY coverage will reduce catastrophic out-of-pocket expenditure and provide long overdue policy visibility,” stated the society’s letter to the Union health minister pointing out that the disease imposed lifelong multidimensional burden on affected individuals and families.”At least if the condition gets added, the ICMR can start a registry. NIMHANS has treated more than 500 patients in more than a decade. AIIMS must have treated a similar number. But without a registry, the patients remain invisible to the system. Such a registry will also help in research into the disease and its treatment modalities. We also need regional centres of excellence so that it becomes easier for patients to seek treatment,” said Venkateshwara Rao Koushik, chairman of the society, whose wife is afflicted.Dr Mohammed Faruq, senior principal scientist at IGIB, held out hope for treatment to be developed through consistent research into gene therapy, which has shown promise.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVijay Claims Support Of 118 MLAs, Likely To Take Oath As Tamil Nadu CM TomorrowTN Political Crisis Deepens: Stalin Pushes Governor For Swift ActionAir India AI 171 Crash Probe In Final Stage, Report Likely Within A MonthTwo States, Two Big Winners: Suvendu Gets Bengal, Vijay Eyes Tamil NaduShah Hails BJP’s Historic Bengal Victory, Credits People’s Faith In ModiBJP Names Suvendu Adhikari As West Bengal’s First BJP Chief MinisterViral MLA Preference List Shows KC Venugopal Claiming Majority Support As Kerala CMTMC Leader Kunal Ghosh Says Bengal Violence Must Be Viewed From Two Different PerspectivesCongress-DMK Split And TVK Support Trigger Fresh INDIA Alliance TensionsPakistan’s Bizarre ‘Why Speak English?’ Reaction After India Details Op Sindoor Strikes123PhotostoriesThe Parenting Style of Every Zodiac Sign Mom5 Incredible animals with no cordsThink crocodiles are just dangerous?

A poor murder convict, who was left abandoned by family and was not given proper legal advice, challenged the trial court’s order of his conviction and life imprisonment after nine years delay in Orissa HC which refused to decide his plea on merit and dismissed it on ground of delay. The convict had to spend another 10 years in jail before SC came to his rescue.Terming the HC’s order, passed in 2016, “very disturbing”, a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Ujjal Bhuyan invoked extraordinary power granted to SC to complete justice under Article 142 and directed the convict be released as his conduct in jail has been satisfactory and he had spent 22 years in jail and did not come out of prison even once .”The HC, while declining to condone the delay, ought to have considered the fact that the petitioner was already undergoing sentence past 12 years. the HC ought to have also considered that it was an appeal through jail. This itself was sufficient for the HC to take a practical view or rather a sympathetic view of the matter and at least ought to have condoned the delay so as to give one opportunity to the petitioner to argue his criminal appeal on merits. As on date, the petitioner has undergone almost 22 years of sentence,” the bench said.Court said the petitioner has not been released even once on parole or furlough and in such circumstances condoning the delay and asking the HC now to hear the criminal appeal on merits will be a futile exercise.”We are convinced that we should release the petitioner on bail in the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case. Thus, in exercise of our jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution as an exceptional case, we order that the petitioner be released on bail on executing a personal bond of Rs.10,000 to the satisfaction of the Jail Superintendent,” the bench said.The bench directed the district legal services authority, Koraput to help him in preparing an appropriate representation, seeking remission of sentence.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVijay Claims Support Of 118 MLAs, Likely To Take Oath As Tamil Nadu CM TomorrowTN Political Crisis Deepens: Stalin Pushes Governor For Swift ActionAir India AI 171 Crash Probe In Final Stage, Report Likely Within A MonthTwo States, Two Big Winners: Suvendu Gets Bengal, Vijay Eyes Tamil NaduShah Hails BJP’s Historic Bengal Victory, Credits People’s Faith In ModiBJP Names Suvendu Adhikari As West Bengal’s First BJP Chief MinisterViral MLA Preference List Shows KC Venugopal Claiming Majority Support As Kerala CMTMC Leader Kunal Ghosh Says Bengal Violence Must Be Viewed From Two Different PerspectivesCongress-DMK Split And TVK Support Trigger Fresh INDIA Alliance TensionsPakistan’s Bizarre ‘Why Speak English?’ Reaction After India Details Op Sindoor Strikes123PhotostoriesThe Parenting Style of Every Zodiac Sign Mom5 Incredible animals with no cordsThink crocodiles are just dangerous?

While monitoring investigations, the bench declined to comment on the merits of the Anil Ambani Group (ADAG) case, citing past collateral damage to reputations. The CBI has filed nine FIRs totaling Rs 27,337 crore against ADAG entities. NEW DELHI: A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi said, “SC has repeatedly said it will be extremely shy of directing arrest of any individual. Importance must be given to collection and preservation of evidence and protection to witnesses …”“While monitoring investigations, we do not express any opinion on correctness of arrest or non-arrest of any person. For effective investigation, the agencies are best suited to determine how to proceed…” CJI Kant said.The bench turned down ADAG’s plea to insert a line in the order to convey that SC had not formed an opinion on the merits of the case and that the court monitoring the probe does not mean the opposite.SC said continuous mandamus jurisprudence devised during monitoring of CBI probe into the Jain-Hawala scam in the Vineet Narain case in the 1990s is a principle of which the court should be proud of. However, the observations made during the court monitoring of investigations caused immense collateral damage to the reputations of many. “The consequences were devastating. That is why we are not commenting on the investigations,” Supreme Court clarified.Appearing for CBI, solicitor general Tushar Mehta said CBI has so far registered nine FIRs against different ADAG entities and that in seven FIRs, the total sum involved is Rs 27,337 crore. He narrated the broad contours of the investigations and the progress made, and said four people have been arrested and 31 lookout circulars issued.When Bhushan persisted with his complaint of the agencies not arresting Anil Ambani, the latter’s counsel Kapil Sibal said the only agenda seems to be to get Anil Ambani arrested. “He has cooperated with the investigation and is not a flight risk,” he said.Senior advocate Shyam Divan, for ADAG, said attachment orders against two companies — Reliance Power and Reliance Infra — have caused loss of reputation to the two. Sibal and Divan repeatedly tried to persuade the bench to write one line in the order — “SC has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case …” The bench did not accept Sibal’s request.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVijay Claims Support Of 118 MLAs, Likely To Take Oath As Tamil Nadu CM TomorrowTN Political Crisis Deepens: Stalin Pushes Governor For Swift ActionAir India AI 171 Crash Probe In Final Stage, Report Likely Within A MonthTwo States, Two Big Winners: Suvendu Gets Bengal, Vijay Eyes Tamil NaduShah Hails BJP’s Historic Bengal Victory, Credits People’s Faith In ModiBJP Names Suvendu Adhikari As West Bengal’s First BJP Chief MinisterViral MLA Preference List Shows KC Venugopal Claiming Majority Support As Kerala CMTMC Leader Kunal Ghosh Says Bengal Violence Must Be Viewed From Two Different PerspectivesCongress-DMK Split And TVK Support Trigger Fresh INDIA Alliance TensionsPakistan’s Bizarre ‘Why Speak English?’ Reaction After India Details Op Sindoor Strikes123PhotostoriesThe Parenting Style of Every Zodiac Sign Mom5 Incredible animals with no cordsThink crocodiles are just dangerous?

The smartwatch, procured by the Haj Committee of India and supplied by Delhi-based firm Sekyo Innovations, was positioned as a safety measure. But pilgrims who have since departed say the device is not turning on, not holding charge, and not “actually tracking” anyone. The ‘Haj Suvidha Smartwatch’ is a required safety device for Indian pilgrims this year. The decision, implemented by the Haj Committee of India, was centred around pilgrim safety, but has triggered questions over cost, execution and necessity. Each pilgrim has effectively paid Rs 7,000 for the device, deducted from their Haj deposit-one of seven main cost heads in the standard Haj package including meals, accommodation, and conveyance. For families already bearing a total outlay that can exceed Rs 4 lakh per person, and reeling from a sudden Rs 10,000-per-head airfare hike announced in late April, the watch has become a flashpoint. The watches were procured through a fast-tracked tender process in 2025.More than 1.2 lakh devices were ordered. Sekyo Innovations, a Delhi-based firm, operates on a hybrid model – designing and assembling the watches in India while sourcing critical high-tech components, including GPS modules, sensors and chipsets, from Hong Kong, China and Canada. According to members of the Delhi State Haj Committee, the smartwatch is included in the Haj kit distributed to pilgrims before departure: “Every year, some changes are made. The departure kit typically contains passport stickers, luggage tags, boarding passes, ID cards, and now, for the first time, a GPS-enabled watch,” a member told TOI. Haj is one of the world’s largest religious gatherings, with millions congregating in and around Mecca. Managing crowds, preventing stampedes and ensuring no pilgrim is lost are longstanding challenges. This year, 1.7-1.9 million people are expected to participate. Unlike India, other major Haj-sending countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan rely instead on traditional group management systems and mobile-based coordination. The rollout of the smartwatch that was designed to track Indian pilgrims and provide emergency assistance has been far from smooth. Usman Ansari, a pilgrim from Old Delhi, told TOI that many of the travellers – particularly elderly and less tech-savvy individuals – are struggling to use the device. “They told us the watch would be activated in Saudi Arabia, but most people don’t know how to operate it.”… Around 70% haven’t even been able to switch it on because some update or the other is required,” he added.About the AuthorIsmat AraAt The Times of India, Ismat Ara covers politics, people, and societies, with a focus on accountability, justice, and lived experience.

Just because they have travelled across border without valid documents or no documents, it does not become a terrorist act without any other overt action that would qualify as terror acts.”CJI Kant said, “India shares a porous border with Bangladesh. There are a large number of Bangladeshis staying in India despite immigrating illegally.” The bench granted bail to Das, but asked him to report to the Bengaluru NIA officer once a week. It asked the counter-terrorism agency to verify the place of stay of the accused.Karnataka HC, while declining bail, had said, “Appellant is a Bangladeshi and material on record clearly discloses with regard to the alleged creation of document of Aadhaar card on the same day at Karnataka as well as Assam, and on perusal of the same, it discloses insertion of photo and obtaining the Aadhaar card and passport is also obtained based on those documents and travelled five times to Bangladesh.”Accepting the prosecution’s stand that if bail is granted to the accused, there is a chance of him fleeing from justice, the HC had rejected his bail plea. BJP, which had a blistering election campaign against alleged facilitation of Bangladeshi nationals to enter Bengal, had said ‘ghuispaithiyas’ (infiltrators) were a threat to national economy and security. The party on Friday vowed to keep its poll promise.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosVijay Claims Support Of 118 MLAs, Likely To Take Oath As Tamil Nadu CM TomorrowTN Political Crisis Deepens: Stalin Pushes Governor For Swift ActionAir India AI 171 Crash Probe In Final Stage, Report Likely Within A MonthTwo States, Two Big Winners: Suvendu Gets Bengal, Vijay Eyes Tamil NaduShah Hails BJP’s Historic Bengal Victory, Credits People’s Faith In ModiBJP Names Suvendu Adhikari As West Bengal’s First BJP Chief MinisterViral MLA Preference List Shows KC Venugopal Claiming Majority Support As Kerala CMTMC Leader Kunal Ghosh Says Bengal Violence Must Be Viewed From Two Different PerspectivesCongress-DMK Split And TVK Support Trigger Fresh INDIA Alliance TensionsPakistan’s Bizarre ‘Why Speak English?’ Reaction After India Details Op Sindoor Strikes123Photostories5 Incredible animals with no cordsThink crocodiles are just dangerous?
