Matrimony is not a one-sided right to be enforced, but a shared covenant of emotional support, fidelity, responsibility and care, where the rights of one are always tied to the duties they owe to the other.” Referring to the case, the bench said intentional maintenance of distinct lifestyles, separate domiciles and total cessation of marital interaction for over 15 years established a de facto abandonment of the marital covenant by both sides.“When wife and husband have been living separately for over 15 years and all efforts for reconciliation have failed, it will not be possible for the parties to live together,” the bench said, dissolving the marriage under Art 142.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’I Saw Four Bodies At One Spot’: Local Hero Recounts Horror Of Delhi Fire | Watch’Did Not Tell Me…’: RJD MP Breaks Silence On Helping Cockroach Janta Party In Holding Presser’Whatever I Am Today Is Because Of Mamata’: Humayun Kabir Offers Rejinagar Seat To TMC Chief’We Are No More In INDIA Bloc, Will Not Attend June 8 Meet’: DMK After Congress ‘Betrayal’ In TNHijab, No Music, Separate Timings: Kerala’s ‘Islam-Friendly’ Gym Sparks Row, BJP Slams CongressAfter TCS Nashik Case, Ex-Wipro Pune Employee Alleges Religious Conversion, Forced ResignationNo Woman In Karnataka Cabinet: Margaret Alva ‘Deeply Disappointed’ Over DK Shivakumar Oath CeremonyPune IT Firm Abruptly Closes Operations, Over 700 Employees And Interns Left JoblessCongress Tells Cadre To Ignore CJP, Stay Focused On NEET-CBSE AgitationWhy IRCTC Is Verifying 6 Crore Users And Deploying AI Cameras In 800 Kitchens123Photostories5 most venomous sea snakes travellers should know aboutWant melt-in-the-mouth mutton dishes? 5 lesser-known secrets to follow at homeSambhavna Seth breaks down in tears as she welcomes twins via surrogacy with husband Avinash Dwivedi; cuts her babies’ umbilical cords, Says ‘Family Complete Ho Gayi’6 lakes in India with fascinating myths about their origins3 types of people you should remove from your life, as per Gauranga DasMMA legend Conor McGregor’s Las Vegas mansion is a millions-worth property defined by world-class luxury, private elevator and Strip viewsThe 5 numbers cardiologists want every adult to know before it’s too lateChild behavior expert says these 5 common phrases parents say to their children can hurt them psychologically8 words that women hate from the core of their heart: Which one can YOU not standGetting married soon? 10 common questions women should ask themselves before tying the knot123Hot PicksDelhi Restaurant FireLauren FryerAbhishek BanerjeeLos Angeles Airport DetentionAuston MatthewsSean StricklandKylian MbappeNuclear Scientist DeathNHL Trade RumorsTop TrendingDelhi Malviya Nagar Restaurant FireBengaluru MurderK AnnamalaiAnnapurna BhandarFirhad HakimDK ShivakumarKerala MonsoonAbhishek BanerjeeMamata BanerjeeKoyambedu Baw Brawl Shia LaBeouf gets probation after pleading guilty to punching bargoers during Mardi Gras Virgo Horoscope Today, June 5, 2026: Make one bold work decision, but double-check every figure before confirming Supreme Court NEW DELHI: Observing that differences are a part and parcel of married life and may result in non-communication betw-een partners, Supreme Court has said that a husband cannot be convicted of cruelty merely on the ground of not talking to his wife for a few days.A bench of Justices J K Maheshwari and Atul S Chand acquitted a man who was convicted by trial court and Madras high court under Section 498A of Indian Penal Code for subjecting his wife to cruelty and sentenced to a three-year jail term. He had not been on talking terms with his wife for 13 days, which led to her dying by suicide.The court said, “Therefore, in absence of any material, mere non-communication with the deceased for thirteen days, without substantiating the same with cogent evidence, cannot, in any stretch of the imagination, fall within the ambit of cruelty in the facts of this case…”The case was not even one where there was some quarrel between appellant and the deceased, due to which appellant could have been convicted by trial court, SC said. There was insufficient evidence to prove allegation of cruelty against the husband, something the high court judgment failed to take into account, it said.The court said that what needs to be determined is whether the gravity or seriousness of the act is of such a nature that it is likely to drive a woman to die by suicide or cause injury or pose danger to her mental health. In order to establish cruelty, the wilful conduct of the accused must be of a compelling nature.”In this regard, persistent harassment within a close proximity of time of lodging the complaint may be a relevant factor. It is, further, clarified that a petty quarrel cannot be termed as cruelty to attract charge under Sec 498A. It is incumbent upon Courts, therefore, to analyse the facts and circumstances, the act on the part of the accused and gauge its impact,” bench said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’I Saw Four Bodies At One Spot’: Local Hero Recounts Horror Of Delhi Fire | Watch’Did Not Tell Me…’: RJD MP Breaks Silence On Helping Cockroach Janta Party In Holding Presser’Whatever I Am Today Is Because Of Mamata’: Humayun Kabir Offers Rejinagar Seat To TMC Chief’We Are No More In INDIA Bloc, Will Not Attend June 8 Meet’: DMK After Congress ‘Betrayal’ In TNHijab, No Music, Separate Timings: Kerala’s ‘Islam-Friendly’ Gym Sparks Row, BJP Slams CongressAfter TCS Nashik Case, Ex-Wipro Pune Employee Alleges Religious Conversion, Forced ResignationNo Woman In Karnataka Cabinet: Margaret Alva ‘Deeply Disappointed’ Over DK Shivakumar Oath CeremonyPune IT Firm Abruptly Closes Operations, Over 700 Employees And Interns Left JoblessCongress Tells Cadre To Ignore CJP, Stay Focused On NEET-CBSE AgitationWhy IRCTC Is Verifying 6 Crore Users And Deploying AI Cameras In 800 Kitchens123Photostories5 most venomous sea snakes travellers should know aboutWant melt-in-the-mouth mutton dishes? 5 lesser-known secrets to follow at homeSambhavna Seth breaks down in tears as she welcomes twins via surrogacy with husband Avinash Dwivedi; cuts her babies’ umbilical cords, Says ‘Family Complete Ho Gayi’6 lakes in India with fascinating myths about their origins3 types of people you should remove from your life, as per Gauranga DasMMA legend Conor McGregor’s Las Vegas mansion is a millions-worth property defined by world-class luxury, private elevator and Strip viewsThe 5 numbers cardiologists want every adult to know before it’s too lateChild behavior expert says these 5 common phrases parents say to their children can hurt them psychologically8 words that women hate from the core of their heart: Which one can YOU not standGetting married soon? 10 common questions women should ask themselves before tying the knot123Hot PicksDelhi Restaurant FireLauren FryerAbhishek BanerjeeLos Angeles Airport DetentionAuston MatthewsSean StricklandKylian MbappeNuclear Scientist DeathNHL Trade RumorsTop TrendingDelhi Malviya Nagar Restaurant FireBengaluru MurderK AnnamalaiAnnapurna BhandarFirhad HakimDK ShivakumarKerala MonsoonAbhishek BanerjeeMamata BanerjeeKoyambedu Baw Brawl HDFC agents to stop mobilising government funds Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau introduce their children ahead of first anniversary; relationship grows serious | El Nino has set in, the latest update from the European weather agency indicated on Thursday. According to it, temperatures in the rapidly warming Pacific Ocean crossed the 0.5°C threshold of El Nino in May. This is likely to set in motion changes in atmospheric conditions that are projected to deeply impact global weather – including the Indian monsoon – in coming months.The release from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is the first update in June from a major global weather agency on the state of the Pacific Ocean. Most agencies had said last month that El Nino was on the verge of setting in, with US govt institutions putting the probability of it forming in May-July period at 82%. “The latest chart from ECMWF shows that the 0.5-degree threshold has been crossed. Officially, an El Nino event will be declared only when these changes persist for at least three months. But that’s of academic interest. Changes in the atmosphere associated with an El Nino are already being seen and its impact being felt,” said M Rajeevan, veteran meteorologist and former secretary of the earth sciences ministry.The ECMWF update came on the day the monsoon arrived over the Indian mainland (Kerala), three days later than its normal date of June 1. IMD chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said the monsoon is likely to march into more parts of the western coast and Karnataka, move into Andhra and cover TN in the next two-three days. “The intensity of rainfall in these areas is not likely to be high,” he said.As for El Nino setting in, Mohapatra said updates from other agencies should be awaited to get a clearer picture. US govt agencies and IMD are likely to release their forecasts within a week or so. IMD has forecast below-normal monsoon this year at 90% of the long period average, bordering on ‘deficient’ (below 90%). The Australian weather bureau had late last month stated that the warming in the region known as Nino 3.4 – the area in mid-east equatorial Pacific most often tracked for El Nino – was 0.67 °C above normal. This is above the 0.5°C threshold most agencies use for the onset of El Nino. The Australian bureau’s criterion is 0.8°C.According to the latest ECMWF seasonal forecast, temperatures at the end of May crossed 1°C above normal in the Nino 3.4 region.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’I Saw Four Bodies At One Spot’: Local Hero Recounts Horror Of Delhi Fire | Watch’Did Not Tell Me…’: RJD MP Breaks Silence On Helping Cockroach Janta Party In Holding Presser’Whatever I Am Today Is Because Of Mamata’: Humayun Kabir Offers Rejinagar Seat To TMC Chief’We Are No More In INDIA Bloc, Will Not Attend June 8 Meet’: DMK After Congress ‘Betrayal’ In TNHijab, No Music, Separate Timings: Kerala’s ‘Islam-Friendly’ Gym Sparks Row, BJP Slams CongressAfter TCS Nashik Case, Ex-Wipro Pune Employee Alleges Religious Conversion, Forced ResignationNo Woman In Karnataka Cabinet: Margaret Alva ‘Deeply Disappointed’ Over DK Shivakumar Oath CeremonyPune IT Firm Abruptly Closes Operations, Over 700 Employees And Interns Left JoblessCongress Tells Cadre To Ignore CJP, Stay Focused On NEET-CBSE AgitationWhy IRCTC Is Verifying 6 Crore Users And Deploying AI Cameras In 800 Kitchens123Photostories5 most venomous sea snakes travellers should know aboutWant melt-in-the-mouth mutton dishes? 5 lesser-known secrets to follow at homeSambhavna Seth breaks down in tears as she welcomes twins via surrogacy with husband Avinash Dwivedi; cuts her babies’ umbilical cords, Says ‘Family Complete Ho Gayi’6 lakes in India with fascinating myths about their origins3 types of people you should remove from your life, as per Gauranga DasMMA legend Conor McGregor’s Las Vegas mansion is a millions-worth property defined by world-class luxury, private elevator and Strip viewsThe 5 numbers cardiologists want every adult to know before it’s too lateChild behavior expert says these 5 common phrases parents say to their children can hurt them psychologically8 words that women hate from the core of their heart: Which one can YOU not standGetting married soon? 10 common questions women should ask themselves before tying the knot123Hot PicksDelhi Restaurant FireLauren FryerAbhishek BanerjeeLos Angeles Airport DetentionAuston MatthewsSean StricklandKylian MbappeNuclear Scientist DeathNHL Trade RumorsTop TrendingDelhi Malviya Nagar Restaurant FireBengaluru MurderK AnnamalaiAnnapurna BhandarFirhad HakimDK ShivakumarKerala MonsoonAbhishek BanerjeeMamata BanerjeeKoyambedu Baw Brawl Mehta contests Sebi order on Rs 15L cr inflated revenue Leo Horoscope Today, June 5, 2026: Your health looks good, and enthusiasm carries you forward NEW DELHI: Union ministers Ravneet Singh Bittu and George Kurian do not figure among the 11 Rajya Sabha candidates named by BJP for the June 18 polls, a development that adds to the buzz about a reshuffle in the council of ministers.Kurian, the only Christian minister in the PM Modi-led govt, and Bittu are outgoing MPs from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan respectively and did not find a place in the list from their state.The buzz over the reshuffle has now further grown as two other junior ministers, Pankaj Chaudhary and Harsh Malhotra, have already been vested with organisational responsibilities. Chaudhary is UP BJP president while Malhotra was recently made head of Delhi BJP. None of the outgoing RS MPs has been renominated. Debashish Samantaray, who quit BJD to join BJP, has been fielded for the Odisha bypoll.In 2022, ministers Naqvi and RCP Singh quit before RS terms ended, weren’t renominatedIn fact, none of the outgoing Rajya Sabha MPs were repeated by the governing party. A number of organisational functionaries, including national general secretary Tarun Chugh and BJP’s former Rajasthan state president Satish Poonia, have been picked for their likely debut as parliamentarians.BJP is yet to name its candidates from Jharkhand and Karnataka, where it is guaranteed one seat each, keeping open the possibility that it can yet renominate either of the two ministers. The two ministers can retain their office for six months in case they are no longer MPs after their term ends on June 21.In 2022, Cabinet ministers Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and R C P Singh had quit before their Rajya Sabha term was over and later were not renominated to the House.An overhaul of BJP’s team of national office-bearers is also due after Nitin Nabin took over as the party president in Jan and has been rather active since, touring across states to gather feedback and tone up its organisational machinery.Among the RS candidates, BJP has named its state president A Sharda Devi from Manipur and former state chief Tai Tagak from Arunachal Pradesh. From Gujarat, it has picked four new faces, including three relatively young functionaries — Rajubhai Shukla, Mukeshbhai Rathwa, Mansingh Parmar and Jitendra Kanzariya — with a focus on OBC and tribal communities.After appointing a Jat Sikh — Kewal Singh Dhillon — as its Punjab president to reach out to his community, not seen as the party’s core voters, BJP’s Rajya Sabha choice of Chugh caters to its traditional voters in the state, where polls are due early next year.The decision not to renominate Bittu, also a Jat Sikh and grandson of former CM Beant Singh, has surprised political circles, but there is a view that he may be asked to focus on the coming polls. Kurian, a seasoned BJP member from Kerala, lost in the assembly poll held recently in the state.In Rajasthan, where Congress has been active organisationally, the governing BJP has sought to appeal to two numerically strong OBC communities. Debashish Samantaray, who had quit BJD to join BJP, has been fielded for the Odisha bypoll, triggered by his resignation from the House.Outgoing BJP MPs include Rambhai Mokariya, Amin Narhari and Ramila Bara from Gujarat, Leishemba Sanajaoba from Manipur, Rajendra Gehlot from Rajasthan, Nabam Rebia from Arunachal and Sumer Singh Solanki from Madhya Pradesh.BJP is all but certain to seal all 10 seats — four from Gujarat, two each from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, and one each from Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh — besides the lone bypoll seat from Odisha due to its numerical strength. It is in office in all these states. Elections to 24 seats and bypolls to one are due on June 8.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’I Saw Four Bodies At One Spot’: Local Hero Recounts Horror Of Delhi Fire | Watch’Did Not Tell Me…’: RJD MP Breaks Silence On Helping Cockroach Janta Party In Holding Presser’Whatever I Am Today Is Because Of Mamata’: Humayun Kabir Offers Rejinagar Seat To TMC Chief’We Are No More In INDIA Bloc, Will Not Attend June 8 Meet’: DMK After Congress ‘Betrayal’ In TNHijab, No Music, Separate Timings: Kerala’s ‘Islam-Friendly’ Gym Sparks Row, BJP Slams CongressAfter TCS Nashik Case, Ex-Wipro Pune Employee Alleges Religious Conversion, Forced ResignationNo Woman In Karnataka Cabinet: Margaret Alva ‘Deeply Disappointed’ Over DK Shivakumar Oath CeremonyPune IT Firm Abruptly Closes Operations, Over 700 Employees And Interns Left JoblessCongress Tells Cadre To Ignore CJP, Stay Focused On NEET-CBSE AgitationWhy IRCTC Is Verifying 6 Crore Users And Deploying AI Cameras In 800 Kitchens123Photostories5 most venomous sea snakes travellers should know aboutWant melt-in-the-mouth mutton dishes? 5 lesser-known secrets to follow at homeSambhavna Seth breaks down in tears as she welcomes twins via surrogacy with husband Avinash Dwivedi; cuts her babies’ umbilical cords, Says ‘Family Complete Ho Gayi’6 lakes in India with fascinating myths about their origins3 types of people you should remove from your life, as per Gauranga DasMMA legend Conor McGregor’s Las Vegas mansion is a millions-worth property defined by world-class luxury, private elevator and Strip viewsThe 5 numbers cardiologists want every adult to know before it’s too lateChild behavior expert says these 5 common phrases parents say to their children can hurt them psychologically8 words that women hate from the core of their heart: Which one can YOU not standGetting married soon? 10 common questions women should ask themselves before tying the knot123Hot PicksDelhi Restaurant FireLauren FryerAbhishek BanerjeeLos Angeles Airport DetentionAuston MatthewsSean StricklandKylian MbappeNuclear Scientist DeathNHL Trade RumorsTop TrendingDelhi Malviya Nagar Restaurant FireBengaluru MurderK AnnamalaiAnnapurna BhandarFirhad HakimDK ShivakumarKerala MonsoonAbhishek BanerjeeMamata BanerjeeKoyambedu Baw Brawl ‘Look at India as a base and not just a market’: Piyush Goyal Aditya Dhar gets legal relief as court rejects filmmaker Santosh Kumar’s plea against Dhurandhar 2 OTT release amid plagiarism claims | Hindi Movie News Monsoon arrives in Kerala, after 3-day delay | India News NEW DELHI: Amid ongoing Indian efforts to diversify its oil supplies, PM Narendra Modi met Venezuela acting President Delcy Rodríguez and discussed ways to deepen the energy partnership.The Latin American country, which tops the list of countries with largest proven oil reserves, has emerged in recent weeks as one of India’s top crude suppliers.While no agreement was signed, both sides focused on securing long-term energy contracts citing “perfect complementarity” in the energy sector. The PM said in a post on X that they had extensive discussions on expanding cooperation in not just energy but also critical minerals, tech, agriculture, health and people-to-people ties.As India looks to diversify, Venezuela pitches in: Great opportunities existAs a valued partner in Latin America, our close cooperation with Venezuela holds immense importance for the Global South. We will continue to work together for the mutual benefit of the people of our nations,” said the PM.After having effectively taken control of Venezuela’s oil industry, the US had pushed India to resume procurement from the country. India was one of the largest importers of Venezuelan crude in 2020 when it halted purchases because of US sanctions.US secretary of state Marco Rubio had first announced, ahead of his visit to India last month, that Rodriguez would soon be visiting India. According to officials, the message from Rodriguez was that Venezuela is open for business, and there are great opportunities for India as it looks to diversify its supplies at a time the Strait of Hormuz remains choked by the US-Iran conflict.“Venezuela sees India as a stable demand for many years to come. Therefore, there exists a perfect complementarity for both to work in the energy sector, upstream as well as downstream,” said MEA secretary (east) Rudrendra Tandon, adding Venezuela has already emerged as the third largest supplier for India this month in terms of spot purchases.The discussions also focused on expanding cooperation in areas like mining, agriculture, critical minerals, and pharmaceuticals. Asked whether the payment for the crude would be made directly to the US or to the Venezuelan govt, the official said the actual work will be done by commercial entities, both in public as well as the private sector.“All these companies operate at the global level in global markets. So, they will have to consider the existing payment methods that are going to be adopted when you do economic activity in Venezuela,” said Tandon.On details of the energy partnership both sides are looking to forge, the official said oil exporters realise the importance of India as a stable and long-term buyer. “So, it is in their interest to enter into long-term contracts rather than do spot buying. We hope that at some stage, we move forward to long-term secure supplies from all our suppliers,” said the official, adding that the Indian refining industry is well equipped to handle Venezuela’s “hard” crude.The MEA said during her five-day working visit to India, Delcy Rodriguez will visit several sites connected with energy, pharmaceuticals and auto sectors to gain insight into India’s technological and industrial capabilities and to explore opportunities for collaboration.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’I Saw Four Bodies At One Spot’: Local Hero Recounts Horror Of Delhi Fire | Watch’Did Not Tell Me…’: RJD MP Breaks Silence On Helping Cockroach Janta Party In Holding Presser’Whatever I Am Today Is Because Of Mamata’: Humayun Kabir Offers Rejinagar Seat To TMC Chief’We Are No More In INDIA Bloc, Will Not Attend June 8 Meet’: DMK After Congress ‘Betrayal’ In TNHijab, No Music, Separate Timings: Kerala’s ‘Islam-Friendly’ Gym Sparks Row, BJP Slams CongressAfter TCS Nashik Case, Ex-Wipro Pune Employee Alleges Religious Conversion, Forced ResignationNo Woman In Karnataka Cabinet: Margaret Alva ‘Deeply Disappointed’ Over DK Shivakumar Oath CeremonyPune IT Firm Abruptly Closes Operations, Over 700 Employees And Interns Left JoblessCongress Tells Cadre To Ignore CJP, Stay Focused On NEET-CBSE AgitationWhy IRCTC Is Verifying 6 Crore Users And Deploying AI Cameras In 800 Kitchens123Photostories5 most venomous sea snakes travellers should know aboutWant melt-in-the-mouth mutton dishes?

The reality is that no injustice is being done to any minority community,” Rijiju said while addressing a programme organised by minority affairs ministry to mark reforms undertaken during the tenure of PM Narendra Modi, who completes 12 years in office on June 9.He added that some resort to propaganda from outside the country as they are jealous of the development happening in India. “They want to weaken the country by resorting to propaganda to divide people,” Rijiju said.Sharing data on schemes at the programme titled ‘Reforms Utsav’, minority affairs secretary Srivatsa Krishna said that in 2014, the ministry’s budget was Rs 1,949 crore, “today it is Rs 4,115 crore, doubling in the last 10 years and marking a 111% increase, yet we face this criticism which I feel is unfair and misplaced”.“Meanwhile, it will be one year since govt launched a central portal under Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, on June 6, on which all waqf properties were mandated to register within six months. However, many state waqf boards have secured extensions from tribunals under the amended law that allows for up to a six month extension to upload property details,” Krishna said.Uploading process of details of 4.96 lakh waqf properties has been completed on the Umeed central portal-2025 while the uploading process around 2.45 lakh properties is in various stages, as per the ministryThe ministry said that details of around 55% of waqf properties have been uploaded on the portal so far. Efforts are on, in coordination with state waqf boards, to ensure that the remaining are able to upload their details, as many don’t have the complete and necessary documents, it said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’I Saw Four Bodies At One Spot’: Local Hero Recounts Horror Of Delhi Fire | Watch’Did Not Tell Me…’: RJD MP Breaks Silence On Helping Cockroach Janta Party In Holding Presser’Whatever I Am Today Is Because Of Mamata’: Humayun Kabir Offers Rejinagar Seat To TMC Chief’We Are No More In INDIA Bloc, Will Not Attend June 8 Meet’: DMK After Congress ‘Betrayal’ In TNHijab, No Music, Separate Timings: Kerala’s ‘Islam-Friendly’ Gym Sparks Row, BJP Slams CongressAfter TCS Nashik Case, Ex-Wipro Pune Employee Alleges Religious Conversion, Forced ResignationNo Woman In Karnataka Cabinet: Margaret Alva ‘Deeply Disappointed’ Over DK Shivakumar Oath CeremonyPune IT Firm Abruptly Closes Operations, Over 700 Employees And Interns Left JoblessCongress Tells Cadre To Ignore CJP, Stay Focused On NEET-CBSE AgitationWhy IRCTC Is Verifying 6 Crore Users And Deploying AI Cameras In 800 Kitchens123Photostories5 most venomous sea snakes travellers should know aboutWant melt-in-the-mouth mutton dishes? 5 lesser-known secrets to follow at homeSambhavna Seth breaks down in tears as she welcomes twins via surrogacy with husband Avinash Dwivedi; cuts her babies’ umbilical cords, Says ‘Family Complete Ho Gayi’6 lakes in India with fascinating myths about their origins3 types of people you should remove from your life, as per Gauranga DasMMA legend Conor McGregor’s Las Vegas mansion is a millions-worth property defined by world-class luxury, private elevator and Strip viewsThe 5 numbers cardiologists want every adult to know before it’s too lateChild behavior expert says these 5 common phrases parents say to their children can hurt them psychologically8 words that women hate from the core of their heart: Which one can YOU not standGetting married soon? 10 common questions women should ask themselves before tying the knot123Hot PicksDelhi Restaurant FireLauren FryerAbhishek BanerjeeLos Angeles Airport DetentionAuston MatthewsSean StricklandKylian MbappeNuclear Scientist DeathNHL Trade RumorsTop TrendingDelhi Malviya Nagar Restaurant FireBengaluru MurderK AnnamalaiAnnapurna BhandarFirhad HakimDK ShivakumarKerala MonsoonAbhishek BanerjeeMamata BanerjeeKoyambedu Baw Brawl What Trump’s Green Card changes mean for millions of Indians seeking permanent residency in US New bill by Chip Roy targeting H-1Bs seeks to end lottery, OPT: Put America’s white-collar workers first 5 most venomous sea snakes travellers should know about Who is Tommy Paul’s fiancée?
