    Kerala High Court Pressures Government on Disaster Fund Clarity”

    Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala): The Kerala High Court is not happy with how the state government is handling money for disasters. They were discussing a serious landslide in Wayanad and asked the government to explain how much money is in the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF). The state told the court there is Rs 677 crores left in the fund.

    The court wanted to know if there is a yearly report on how this money is spent. They questioned why the government is asking for money if they can’t provide exact numbers. The judges were frustrated and asked, “Who are you trying to fool? You don’t even know how much of the Rs 677 crores can be used for urgent needs!”

    The court warned the state not to play blame games, which make the people of Kerala look bad, especially those in Wayanad. When asking the central government for help, the state must give clear and accurate numbers.

    The judges also pointed out that the government isn’t sure if the Rs 677 crores is really available. The lawyer for the state said that even without disasters, they need around Rs 700 crores each year for the SDRF to cover other expenses. They also said they need more money for recovery efforts.

    The court ordered the government to prepare a detailed report but the state asked for more time. The next court hearing is set for December 12.

  • Travis Head Scores 140 as Australia Leads Against India in Adelaide Match

    Travis Head Scores 140 as Australia Leads Against India in Adelaide Match

    Travis Head Shines Again in Adelaide Match

    In Adelaide, Travis Head is showing he has two different careers in cricket. His first stretch was from December 2018 to December 2020, where he played six matches against India and scored 299 runs, averaging 29.90. Then he took a break and returned on February 17, 2023. Since then, he has played six more matches and scored 656 runs with a much better average of 65.60. This difference is very noticeable, especially against India. Head often steps up when playing against them, like in the ODI World Cup final and the World Test Championship final.

    As he walked out to bat in his hometown of Adelaide, the crowd cheered loudly, even though Australia had lost a few quick wickets. They knew he was a strong player, and he didn’t disappoint them. While India has great bowlers, they often struggle to deal with Head’s aggressive batting style.

    On the first day of the match, India scored 180 runs, and Australia ended with 86 runs for 1 wicket. On Day 2, Australia reached 337 runs before getting all out, thanks to a brilliant innings from Head, who scored 140 runs from 141 balls. Meanwhile, India found it tough again and ended Day 2 at 128 for 5.

    India’s bowling coach, Morne Morkel, praised Head, saying they bowled well at first, but Head quickly took control of the game. He noted that India struggled to switch from their plan when Head started scoring quickly, especially in the last 10 overs before the new ball.

    After 50 overs, Australia was 143 for 3, and Head decided it was time to pick up the pace. From the 50th to the 82nd over, he scored a fantastic 119 runs, which helped Australia gain a big advantage.

    Head felt good about how he began his innings and knew he needed to take on the bowlers before the new ball arrived. There was some luck too—he was dropped at 76 runs. But once he got going, India couldn’t keep up with him.

    The match isn’t over yet—India is just 29 runs behind with five wickets left. Rishabh Pant needs to step up, but he might not have enough support. Australia is informed about their lead but knows Pant could be a threat. Head said, “It’s crucial to take a couple of quick wickets in the morning to hold onto our advantage.”

  • Mamata Banerjee’s Ambition: Can She Lead the INDIA Bloc?”

    Mamata Banerjee’s Ambition: Can She Lead the INDIA Bloc?”

    Kolkata (West Bengal): West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has hinted she might lead the opposition group called the INDIA bloc. BJP leader Locket Chatterjee responded by saying that Congress is losing its power, which is why Mamata wants to step up as the main opposition leader. Chatterjee told ANI that we shouldn’t trust anything Mamata Banerjee says.

    He pointed out that after Congress lost important elections in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand, the party is becoming less significant. Chatterjee believes Mamata is trying to take advantage of Congress’s struggles.

    Earlier, BJP’s Tarun Chugh said that both the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi are holding the alliance back. He claimed they are more of a burden than a help and that the main goal of the INDIA bloc is to protect corrupt leaders.

    On December 3, TMC MP Kirti Azad commented on how Mamata Banerjee could lead the INDIA bloc, highlighting her track record of working well with others. He noted that whenever Prime Minister Narendra Modi has failed in West Bengal, Mamata’s support has grown.

    On November 26, another TMC MP, Kalyan Banerjee, suggested the need for a strong leader to guide the INDIA bloc, especially after Congress’s recent losses in Haryana and Maharashtra. He emphasized that the opposition needs to be united to challenge the BJP effectively.

  • US Denies BJP’s Claims of Conspiracy Against India’s Leaders

    US Denies BJP’s Claims of Conspiracy Against India’s Leaders

    On Saturday, the US government rejected claims from India’s ruling party, the BJP, which suggested that some US organizations were trying to create chaos in India. The BJP accused foreign groups of targeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and businessman Gautam Adani. A spokesperson from the US embassy said these claims were disappointing and emphasized that the US supports media freedom around the world.

    The BJP pointed to recent attacks by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who used information from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) to criticize the Adani Group, claiming it was too close to the government.

    The US embassy official explained that the US works with independent groups to help journalists improve their skills, but this does not affect what those groups write about. OCCRP, which is based in Amsterdam, focuses on stories about crime and corruption.

    The BJP also mentioned a French report claiming that OCCRP is funded by the US State Department and influential figures like George Soros. However, the US insists that a free press is vital for democracy, helping people discuss important issues and hold leaders accountable.

    Last month, Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar, and others faced charges in the US for allegedly paying over $250 million in bribes to Indian government officials. This money was supposedly for winning solar energy contracts that could earn more than $2 billion in profit. After these accusations, the Congress party called for a serious investigation and accused the government of protecting Adani. In response, the Adani Group labeled the charges as false.

  • Samajwadi Party Exits Maha Vikas Aghadi Over Controversial Comments

    Samajwadi Party Exits Maha Vikas Aghadi Over Controversial Comments

    In a surprising move, the Samajwadi Party (SP) announced that it is leaving the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance in Maharashtra. This decision came after a close aide of Uddhav Thackeray, the Shiv Sena UBT leader, praised the demolition of the Babri Masjid, a mosque that was destroyed over 30 years ago.

    Abu Azmi, the head of the Samajwadi Party in Maharashtra, stated on Twitter that they cannot support the communal ideas of the Shiv Sena UBT while being part of the MVA. He mentioned that the Samajwadi Party has two MLAs in the 288-member state Assembly and is ready to work on its own if necessary.

    Azmi explained that the party’s decision was influenced by an advertisement from Shiv Sena UBT that celebrated the mosque’s demolition. He highlighted a social media post from an MLC of Shiv Sena UBT, Milind Narvekar, which included a quote from founder Bal Thackeray, saying he is proud of those who tore down the mosque.

    Azmi further questioned the difference between the Shiv Sena UBT and the BJP if they continue to speak in such a manner.

    The Babri Mosque, a building with a rich history, was demolished in 1992 by supporters of a Hindu group. The Supreme Court eventually ruled in favor of building a Ram temple at the site, allowing for a mosque to be built elsewhere.

  • Bumrah Thrives in Australia: Four Wickets and Injury Concern

    Bumrah Thrives in Australia: Four Wickets and Injury Concern

    Jasprit Bumrah is having an amazing tour of Australia! After taking eight wickets in Perth, he got 4 wickets in the first innings of the day-night Test match in Adelaide while using the pink ball. Bumrah’s great performance has helped India take a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and his skills are key to India’s chances in the series.

    Glenn McGrath, a famous former Australian bowler, praised Bumrah for how he changed his bowling style to become one of the best players today. During a broadcast, McGrath shared, “I saw Jasprit when he was younger. He bowled quickly but had a different technique. He had a short run-up and would jump out a lot.”

    McGrath suggested that Bumrah should use a longer run-up, but Bumrah struggled at first. However, after facing a knee problem, he worked hard to change his technique. Now, he runs straight through the crease, which helps him bowl faster and better. Bumrah has taken 183 Test wickets with an incredible average of 19.99.

    McGrath emphasized that Bumrah’s bowling is unique and that his style can’t be taught easily. “He has a smooth run-up, and at the end, he powers through to bowl in the right areas,” McGrath explained. He also mentioned that Bumrah is flexible in his joints and has excellent control over the ball, which moves in different directions.

    In the Adelaide Test, Bumrah took 4 wickets, including both opening batsmen and the important wicket of Steven Smith. However, he experienced a groin problem during his spell, which raised concerns for Indian fans about his condition for this match and the rest of the series.

  • Teen Stabbed to Death Over Toilet Argument in Delhi

    Teen Stabbed to Death Over Toilet Argument in Delhi

    A tragic incident happened in Govindpuri, South Delhi, where an 18-year-old scrap shop worker named Sudheer was allegedly killed by his neighbors during a dispute over a shared toilet. The fight began late Friday night between two families living in the same building.

    The trouble started when Bhikam Singh’s youngest son used the common toilet without flushing it properly. Sudheer complained about this, which led to a heated argument. In the chaos, Bhikam Singh, his wife Meena, and their three sons attacked Sudheer and his two friends with a kitchen knife and other objects.

    Sudheer suffered serious injuries and later died because of them. His brother, Prem, is still in the hospital, while their friend Sagar has been treated and sent home.

    After the fight, Bhikam’s family told the police they were being attacked, but witnesses say it was Sudheer and his friends who were in danger. This incident raises serious concerns about safety in the area, especially after another recent shooting involving a police officer. Sudheer had only moved into the neighborhood 45 days earlier from Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, where he paid a rent of ₹3,000 and lived with his brother, who drives an e-rickshaw.

As her hair falls forward, Nagarjuna kindly holds it back for her, and Sobhita smiles softly. This caring gesture warmed the hearts of many fans, with some saying he acts like a father figure to her.

    Swiss Air Flight Scandal: Video of Couple Causes Major Outrage!

    A video of a couple having sex on a Swiss Air flight has upset many people online, leading to an investigation by the airline. The incident happened in November on Flight 181, which was traveling from Bangkok to Zurich. The footage was recorded by security cameras in the airplane’s kitchen area.

    A user on social media shared a blurred image of the video and said, “A couple joined the mile-high club in the first-class galley while being secretly recorded by the pilots.” It was also mentioned that the pilots are being investigated for sharing the video in group chats, which then became very popular online.

    Swiss Air is looking into the situation because the couple’s privacy was violated. The airline has promised to find out who filmed the video without permission and to take appropriate action against those involved.

    Meike Fuhlrott, a spokesperson for Swiss Air, explained that filming someone without their consent and sharing that footage is against their rules and data protection laws. She also said the crew should have stopped the couple instead of recording them.

    The sexual activity was caught on a live camera meant for cockpit security, which is used to ensure the pilot’s safety. The airline said the video and the comments shared about it on social media are disrespectful to the passengers.
