    Modi’s ₹40,000 Crore Project to Connect 11 Rivers in Rajasthan!”

    Surat: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to launch a big project worth around ₹40,000 crores to connect 11 rivers in Rajasthan. This project aims to turn Rajasthan into a water-rich state, according to Union Jal Shakti Minister C R Patil. At the opening event of a semiconductor plant by Suchi Semicon, Patil encouraged companies to invest in water-saving techniques to help with the future water problems.

    Rajasthan is facing serious water shortages. Modi will announce this project on December 17, which is expected to provide plenty of water for the state. Patil highlighted that while people have saved enough money for generations, it’s equally important to save water for future generations.

    Earlier in January 2024, the governments of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh made an agreement with the Ministry of Jal Shakti to develop detailed plans for the Modified Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal (MPKC) link project alongside the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP). This project aims to alleviate the water crisis in both Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

    The MPKC link project will involve major rivers like Chambal and its smaller rivers: Parbati, Kalisindh, Kuno, Banas, Banganga, Ruparail, Gambhiri, and Mej. The project will provide water to 21 new districts in Rajasthan such as Jhalawar, Kota, Bundi, Tonk, and others, as well as to various districts in Madhya Pradesh like Guna, Shivpuri, and Gwalior. The main goals of this project are to supply drinking water, support farming, and meet industrial water needs.

  • Israel Closes Dublin Embassy Over Tensions With Ireland

    Israel Closes Dublin Embassy Over Tensions With Ireland

    Israel has decided to close its embassy in Dublin because of Ireland’s strong stance against it. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar mentioned that this action is a reaction to Ireland recognizing Palestine as a state and its support for taking legal steps against Israel.

    Back in May, Israel recalled its ambassador from Dublin after Ireland made its statement about Palestine. Recently, Dublin supported South Africa’s claims against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which involves serious accusations like genocide.

    Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris expressed disappointment over Israel’s decision, saying, “I completely disagree that Ireland is anti-Israel. We stand for peace, human rights, and international law.” He emphasized that Ireland wants a solution where both Israel and Palestine can coexist peacefully.

    Moreover, Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin stated that while the World Court will decide on allegations like genocide, the attacks by Hamas on October 7 and the events in Gaza reflect a serious violation of humanitarian laws.

    In a separate update, Israel’s foreign ministry announced that it will open a new embassy in Moldova.

  • Steve Smith’s Grit: A Century Against Doubt and Struggle

    Steve Smith’s Grit: A Century Against Doubt and Struggle

    During Day 2 of the Test match in Brisbane, fans saw how Steve Smith has been changing his batting style in different matches of the Border Gavaskar Trophy series. In Perth, he covered his stumps; in Adelaide, he stood at a leg stump, and in Gabba, his stance was more open. He even changed how he moves before hitting the ball. Many people were worried he was struggling. Some thought he was a great player, but his best days were behind him.

    At 36 years old, Smith scored 110 runs at Lord’s last June but hadn’t reached 100 runs again in 24 innings. Although he has been considered one of the best players since Don Bradman, many feared his time was over.

    For most of the day, it seemed like everyone’s worries about Smith were true. He was missing a lot of balls and getting hit, and runs weren’t coming easily. But he didn’t give up. Great players often show their true character by working hard and trying again.

    During one over by Akash Deep, Smith was beaten four times, and bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were challenging him. It was a tough inning, but sometimes great players need a little luck too. Fortunately, that luck helped Smith score a determined century.

    “I feel like I’ve been batting well the last month,” he said. “I just stuck to my game plan, and the luck turned in my favor.”

    When he started to bat well again, it meant trouble for India. Toward the end of his 101-run effort, he showed some of the old brilliance we all admire. Based on statistics from CricViz, Smith had 20 times when he almost missed hitting the ball, which is one of the highest numbers for him in any home Test.

    What about those changes in his batting style? Smith said he’s always been a tinkerer. “I’ve changed my setup in every game for the last 15 years. It isn’t new for me,” he explained. He always seeks the best ways to play according to the pitch, and in this match, he adjusted to tackle the bouncy ball by staying slightly out of the crease.

    Despite not scoring centuries for a while, Smith kept his focus and understood that things can change if you work hard. Akash Deep made him miss 28% of the time, while Bumrah and Siraj made him miss too. How did he survive all this? Sometimes on your day, things just work out well. “I’ve played long enough to know that the game turns around,” said Smith. If you work hard, things will improve.

    Smith’s journey teaches us a lesson: the only thing we can control is our effort. This is something we see with him and also with players like Virat Kohli. They strive to be the best while also staying focused.

    In the end, the day was a testament to Test cricket. It showed us a legend struggling before finding his way again. That fight back is what makes watching cricket special, and it’s worth every moment.

  • Rohingya Migrants in Delhi: A Controversial Blame Game

    Rohingya Migrants in Delhi: A Controversial Blame Game

    In a recent statement, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi accused Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri of being inconsistent about the Rohingya migrants in Delhi. She claimed he was either lying before or is lying now. Atishi insisted that the Central government is to blame for the Rohingya migrants living in various areas of Delhi. She said the Central government let them enter India illegally. These migrants traveled through multiple states to reach Delhi, where the government helped them find homes.

    Atishi expressed that if there are problems or crimes involving these migrants, the Central government should take full responsibility. Earlier, Minister Puri criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Atishi for spreading false information about the Rohingya issue. He stated that he had already shared the facts regarding Rohingya migrants in a tweet, which he claimed AAP ignored on purpose.

    Puri tweeted that no Rohingya migrant had been given a government house and accused AAP of allowing illegal migrants to settle in Delhi. He also claimed they provided these migrants with electricity, water, and financial support.

    In her letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Atishi said the Central government settled many illegal Rohingya migrants in Delhi without telling the state government. She pointed out two previous posts by Puri to show that this has been happening for years. Atishi requested that the Union government share a complete list of the Rohingyas and their addresses. She also demanded that no more Rohingyas be settled in Delhi without consulting the city’s government and its residents.

  • DJ Yesong Sentenced to 8 Years for Fatal DUI Accident in Seoul

    DJ Yesong Sentenced to 8 Years for Fatal DUI Accident in Seoul

    Ahn Ye Song, who was a member of the K-pop girl group INSTAR and is now a DJ called Yesong, has been sentenced to 8 years in prison. This comes after she drove her Mercedes-Benz SUV while drunk and caused the death of a delivery worker in his 50s. Reports from South Korean news today confirm her punishment after the Supreme Court made its decision on December 10.

    Initially, Yesong was sentenced to 10 years because she left the scene without helping the victim. However, the sentence was reduced to 8 years after she showed regret and settled with the victim’s family. The prosecutors had suggested a longer sentence of 15 years because they felt she did not show much remorse, especially when her lawyers tried to blame the victim for what happened.

    Yesong’s lawyer stated that she understood the seriousness of what she did. She admitted to drinking heavily at a work event before driving and has no memory of the accident. Yesong recognized that she needs help for her drinking problem. Although she accepted her guilt, her team claimed that the victim should also share some blame, suggesting that the accident might not have happened if the victim had chosen a different road.

    In her follow-up comments, Yesong took back her earlier claims. She explained that she was under financial stress due to not getting enough work, which led her to drink at an important event. She said, “I am very sorry for the pain I caused to the victim, and I’m thinking seriously about my actions.”

    The accident occurred in February when Yesong was driving with a very high blood alcohol level of 0.221%, which is way over the legal limit. She hit a motorcyclist in Gangnam, Seoul, after trying to escape from an earlier crash.

  • How Drones Are Revolutionizing Weddings in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh

    How Drones Are Revolutionizing Weddings in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh

    Ballia (UP): In a small town in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, young men are impressing everyone with their drones at weddings. One of them is 20-year-old Sumit Kumar, who has quickly become popular for flying drones. He started out helping photographers but saw a chance to use drones for capturing amazing aerial photos of weddings.

    Sumit’s tricks are making weddings extra special. He not only takes beautiful pictures but also delivers garlands to the couple using his drone. At a recent village wedding, guests were amazed when sumit flew his drone over a lotus-shaped stage to drop garlands for the bride and groom. The crowd erupted in cheers as the groom took the garland from the drone and put it around the bride’s neck. It was such a magical moment that many guests grabbed their phones to record it.

    Sumit has a friend who helps him carry the drone on a motorcycle to different wedding events in Ballia and nearby areas. Drones have become a hot trend in local weddings, and Sumit charges between Rs 8,000 and Rs 40,000 for his services, depending on how long he works at the event.

    Awdhesh Singh, who sells drones, says more people in rural areas are noticing how fun drones can make weddings. They give stunning photos and create excitement, all while costing less than hiring dancers.

    During the quiet times of the year, Sumit and other drone pilots, like Pushkar Kumar, also take jobs for festivals and political events. However, weddings are still their best work, attracting clients from nearby towns and cities like Varanasi.

    Pushkar enjoys working in villages because it’s easier to get permission to fly the drones there, and people are really excited to see them. He dreams of making drone flying his full-time job and hopes that government programs to support rural women with agricultural drones will also help drone photographers like him.

    Experts say these programs are about tapping into the growing love for drones among young people. India’s drone market is predicted to jump from USD 2.71 billion in 2022 to USD 13 billion by 2030.

    Sumit, who learned to fly drones for Rs 15,000 at a school in Delhi, believes drones can do much more than just take photos. He thinks there’s a bright future ahead for drones and plans to start his own drone training school in Varanasi.

    Viral Party Celebrates Arrest of CEO Murder Suspect Luigi Mangione

    A Disney-themed dance party has caused a big stir online. Videos from the event show people cheering as images of Luigi Mangione were displayed on a giant screen. Mangione was recently arrested for allegedly killing Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

    At the Bop to the Top tour in Boston, Massachusetts, people danced to fun Disney songs while a DJ played music. Many attendees cheered when they saw Mangione’s pictures, which made a lot of people online confused. Although Disney is not connected to this event, the crowd seemed excited about Mangione, with some even calling for justice on his behalf.

    Brian Thompson was shot outside a hotel in New York by a masked gunman. He was taken to the hospital but sadly passed away.

    Social media reacted strongly to the party. One user said, “They were cheering when they showed his mugshot. They were probably happy he was caught.” But others felt differently, noting the crowd seemed to support Mangione, with some fans creating pages to help raise money for his bail.

    Since his arrest, Mangione has gained unexpected popularity online. Many memes and posts are calling for his release, and some are even trying to help him bail out. Old videos and pictures of Mangione are now trending, including a video of him jumping off a cliff into water.

  • Israel Faces Ongoing Threats from Syrian Rebels After Assad’s Ouster

    Israel Faces Ongoing Threats from Syrian Rebels After Assad’s Ouster

    Israel’s Concern Over Syria’s Rebels Remains

    Despite the change in leadership in Syria, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warns that Israel still faces threats from the country’s rebels. This warning comes after the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad, leading to new military actions by Israel to protect its borders.

    Ahmad al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, who now leads the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), claims that Israel is using fake reasons to justify its attacks in Syria. Although he says he wants to focus on rebuilding Syria rather than getting into new fights, he acknowledges the ongoing tensions.

    Since the leadership change, Israel has entered a demilitarized area established after the 1973 war, including the Mount Hermon region that overlooks the capital, Damascus. Israel insists that its presence there is temporary, aimed at ensuring security and preventing attacks. They have conducted numerous airstrikes on military targets in Syria to eliminate weapons that could be used against them.

    Some Arab nations, like Saudi Arabia and Jordan, have criticized Israel’s actions in the Golan Heights border area. Sharaa noted that Syria still needs to focus on recovery and stability instead of starting new conflicts, suggesting that diplomatic talks are the best path to peace.

  • Man Stuck in Chimney While Trying to Escape Police in Massachusetts

    Man Stuck in Chimney While Trying to Escape Police in Massachusetts

    Kids everywhere look forward to Santa Claus sliding down chimneys to deliver gifts on Christmas. But in Fall River, Massachusetts, a man took the holiday spirit too far when he tried to hide from police—and got stuck in a chimney!

    The trouble started when police arrived to search a home for drug-related crimes. When people living there saw the police, they panicked and tried to escape. Two men ran up to the roof. One man jumped down onto a parked car and got away. But the other man, Robert Langlais, decided to hide inside the chimney instead.

    At first, Robert thought he had a clever plan, but soon he found out he was trapped! Ironically, he had to call for help from the very police officers he was trying to run from. They came to his rescue.

    Langlais, 33, tried to be like Santa, but ended up getting stuck. The police humorously noted that they had to save him. The local fire department and emergency medical team also showed up to help get him out. After he was freed, Langlais was taken to the hospital to make sure he was okay and was cleared by doctors.

    But things didn’t end there. Langlais faced serious charges, including drug possession and some old warrants. Another person at the house, Tanisha Ibay, 32, was also arrested for drug possession but without the dramatic chimney escape.

  • Atul Subhash’s Tragic Death Sparks Nationwide Men’s Rights Protests

    Atul Subhash’s Tragic Death Sparks Nationwide Men’s Rights Protests

    On December 9, Atul Subhash, a 34-year-old tech worker in Bengaluru, ended his life, sparking discussions about men’s rights across India. Karnataka’s Home Minister, G Parameshwara, said Atul’s tragic death has brought attention to how men’s rights are often overlooked compared to women’s rights.

    Atul, originally from Bihar, left behind a video and a 24-page note blaming his wife, Nikita Singhania, and her family for making him feel so hopeless. He mentioned harassment from false legal cases and attempts to extort money from him. Sadly, he had sent his note to a men’s rights group before he died, but help arrived too late.

    His death created a wave of anger, with people in cities like Mumbai and Delhi protesting for justice, echoing Atul’s last message: “Justice is Due.” This pressure led the Bengaluru police to search for those he named. The police later found and arrested Nikita in Gurugram and her family in another city.

    Atul’s family is also blaming the judge who handled their case. Meanwhile, there’s growing pressure on the tech company Accenture to take action regarding Nikita, who is one of their employees.
