Dude, who took my road!. With BMC’s manic assault on the city’s roads under the guise of concreting, Mumbai resembles a war zone these days. Mumbaikars, already traumatised by the city’s traffic, pollution, heat and infrastructure work, are now faced with riskily navigating either mounds of rubble from the scraped up roads or strips of walkways that would require the dexterity of a ballet dancer.

Israeli forces release Palestinian prisoners in Ramallah following Truce deal

A group of released Palestinian prisoners were met with cheers in Ramallah on Thursday (February 27), following an overnight exchange marking the final swap as part of a fragile truce in Gaza. Hamas handed over the bodies of four Israeli hostages while it waited for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners to be released by Israel in return. Earlier, a bus carrying some of the freed prisoners was seen leaving Israel`s Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank. The group got off the bus to cheers from hundreds congregated outside, with some of the released men - clad in green jackets and keffiyehs - hoisted aloft by the crowd. The first phase of the ceasefire included the exchange of 33 Israeli hostages in total for around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from some positions in Gaza as well as an influx of aid....

KIIT suicide row: Heartbroken father calls for justice - Watch video

KIIT suicide row: Heartbroken father calls for justice - Watch video

Tension broke out on the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) campus in Odisha after the body of a third-year student from Nepal, Prakriti Lamsal, 20, was found in her hostel room. Authorities confirmed that the BTech student died by suicide. Following the discovery, dozens of Nepali students gathered and protested, later claiming they were evicted from the campus. Initially, KIIT instructed over 500 Nepali students to leave the campus, creating further distress, but later reversed this decision. Prakriti took her her own life due to a troubled relationship with a male student at KIIT. Social media posts have emerged suggesting that Prakriti Lamsal was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend Advik Shrivastav before her tragic death. Her cousin has also filed a complaint alleging that she was being blackmailed by a male student at KIIT, which led her to take her own life. On the evening of February 16, police apprehended Srivastava near Biju Patnaik International Airport, with reports indicating he was trying to leave Bhubaneswar. A flight ticket from Bhubaneswar to Kolkata, dated February 16 and bearing his name, surfaced online, fueling speculation that he might have been attempting to flee following Lamsal`s death. Srivastava has since been arrested and charged under Section 108 of the Indian Penal Code for abetment of suicide. The father of the deceased has now demanded justice for his daughter....

Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and resettle Palestinians stirs worldwide outrage

Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and resettle Palestinians stirs worldwide outrage

President Trump`s controversial plan to take control of war-torn Gaza and create a "Riviera of the Middle East" after relocating Palestinians drew strong criticism from international leaders. Trump proposed resettling Palestinians in peaceful areas, aiming to end violence. His plan faced swift condemnation, especially from Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the UK, all of whom support a two-state solution. China opposed forced Palestinian relocation, and France also criticized the idea. A Hamas spokesperson called it "ridiculous and absurd." Trump envisioned building a resort where international communities could coexist peacefully, following the devastation of Gaza after 15 months of Israeli bombing, which killed over 47,000 people. It’s unclear whether he will pursue this plan or use it as leverage.... [Read More]

In addition, Trump repeated his controversial call for Palestinians to leave Gaza and move to nearby countries like Egypt and Jordan, despite strong opposition from both the Palestinian people and those countries. His comments have sparked widespread criticism and rejection of the idea.... [Read More]
