लखनऊ में मीडिया से बात करते हुए योगी आदित्यनाथ ने विपक्षी दलों पर तीखा हमला बोला. उन्होंने कहा कि संसद में खासकर महिला आरक्षण विधेयक को लेकर कांग्रेस और अन्य विपक्षी दलों का आचरण गलत रहा है. सीएम योगी ने आरोप लगाया कि विपक्ष ने इस बिल के खिलाफ साजिश रची और जनता अब इस बात को समझ चुकी है. उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि यह मुद्दा महिलाओं के सम्मान और अधिकार से जुड़ा है, जिस पर राजनीति नहीं होनी चाहिए.

महिला आरक्षण पर विपक्ष की सोच पर सवाल
सीएम योगी ने कहा कि भारतीय राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस ने महिला आरक्षण विधेयक का विरोध किया, जो उनकी संकीर्ण सोच को दर्शाता है. उन्होंने कहा कि नारी शक्ति वंदन अधिनियम महिलाओं के सशक्तिकरण के लिए एक प्रगतिशील कदम है और इसमें किसी पुरुष का अधिकार नहीं छीना जा रहा है। इसके बावजूद विपक्ष ने भ्रम फैलाने की कोशिश की.

शाहबानो और तीन तलाक का जिक्र किया
सीएम योगी ने कहा कि जो लोग आज मुस्लिम महिलाओं की बात करते हैं, वे शाहबानो मामले के समय कहां थे. उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि उस समय की कांग्रेस सरकार ने मुस्लिम महिलाओं के अधिकारों को कमजोर किया था. तीन तलाक कानून का जिक्र करते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि कांग्रेस ने भी इस कानून का विरोध किया था.

प्रधानमंत्री के विचारों का जिक्र किया
सीएम योगी ने कहा कि 2014 में सत्ता संभालते समय नरेंद्र मोदी ने देश की चार प्रमुख जातियों- महिलाओं, गरीबों, युवाओं और किसानों की बात की थी. उन्होंने कहा कि यह सोच उन लोगों के लिए चुनौती है जो जातिवादी राजनीति करते रहे. उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि विपक्ष देशहित के फैसलों में बाधा डालता है.

नारी शक्ति वंदन अधिनियम की दी जानकारी
सीएम योगी ने कहा कि नारी शक्ति वंदन कानून 2023 में पारित हुआ था. महिलाओं और सामाजिक संगठनों की मांग पर इसे 2034 के बजाय 2029 में लागू करने की दिशा में कदम उठाया गया. इसके लिए संसद का विशेष सत्र भी बुलाया गया और सभी दलों से चर्चा की गई.

दक्षिणी राज्यों को भी दिया आश्वासन
उन्होंने कहा कि इस कानून के तहत लोकसभा और विधानसभा में 33 फीसदी आरक्षण के लिए अतिरिक्त सीटें बढ़ाई जाएंगी. कुछ दक्षिणी राज्यों ने अपनी हिस्सेदारी को लेकर चिंता जताई थी, लेकिन केंद्र सरकार ने साफ कर दिया कि 2011 की जनगणना के मुताबिक सभी राज्यों में समान अनुपात में सीटें बढ़ेंगी और किसी के अधिकार कम नहीं होंगे.

विपक्ष पर फिर साधा निशाना
सीएम योगी ने कहा कि कांग्रेस, समाजवादी पार्टी, राजद, टीएमसी और डीएमके जैसी पार्टियों ने इस मुद्दे पर गलत राजनीति की है. उन्होंने कहा कि देश की आधी आबादी अब इस व्यवहार से नाराज है और जनता सब समझ रही है.

Investigators said the setups were deliberately located near IT centers to avoid suspicion and enable uninterrupted operations.

Gurgaon: Police investigating a SIM box cyber fraud racket operating from rented houses in the city have identified an India-based handler linked to operators in Cambodia and the Philippines, pointing to a cross-border network.The development follows a crackdown over the past few weeks, during which police destroyed several SIM box setups operating from rented accommodation in Chakkarpur and U-Block. Five people have been arrested so far from locations in Gurgaon, Haryana; Jalgaon, Maharashtra; Ahmedabad, Gujarat; And Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh.During the raid, police recovered 15 SIM boxes, seven Wi-Fi Tapo cameras, seven routers, seven inverters, 42 batteries, 29 Tapo Wi-Fi switches, 28 Ethernet cables and 504 SIM cards.Investigators said the setups were deliberately located near IT centers to avoid suspicion and enable uninterrupted operations. In many cases, landlords had limited involvement beyond renting out the premises and were later made part of the investigation as complainants.However, even as the cyber police continue to crack down on the SIM box racket, a key gap is emerging in the investigation – while local operators are being arrested, the handlers controlling these networks from abroad are hiding behind coded identities.According to a senior official, foreign handlers linked to countries such as Cambodia and the Philippines operate using aliases, making it difficult for investigators to establish their real identities. “They do not disclose who they are. They work through code names, which becomes a major hindrance in pursuing the investigation.”The investigation has also revealed that the people arrested in such cases are well aware of the fraud. Police said that the accused were fully aware of their role. “They know what kind of scams these systems are used for, but they continue because of the money involved,” the official said.Recruitment in these cyber networks is often done through telegrams and personal contacts. “They look for targets who are looking for easy money or who do not have a job,” police said.The accused, mostly young men, were paid around Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 per month to operate the devices, which routed international calls through local SIM cards to make them appear as domestic numbers – a key element in such frauds.While the Gurgaon Police has been able to dismantle many such setups, the financial scale of the fraud involving SIM box operations is still being assessed as part of the ongoing investigation.Officials said the findings highlight a layered network in which local operators form the operational backbone, even as the masterminds remain out of immediate reach.“We are thoroughly investigating the case to nab the Indian handler,” an official said.

Connor Colquhoun, better known as CDawgVA, has completed his 2026 Cyclethon after another long and demanding ride across Japan. This year’s event raised approximately $1.5 million for the Immune Deficiency Foundation. By the time they crossed the finish line, donations had reached nearly $1,470,000, making it again one of the largest donation streams on Twitch.The goal of the event is simple but powerful. This money is used to help people with primary immunodeficiency. Over time, the ride has grown into much more than just cycling. It has become an annual moment where online communities come together and give back in a big way.

This year’s cyclethon lasted for 15 days. Connor traveled to different parts of Japan while broadcasting the trip live. He was not alone. Along with a number of guests appearing during various stages of the ride, familiar faces such as Chris Broad joined them again.What makes this event special is how it has grown every year. The first cyclethon in 2022 raised more than $300,000. A year later, it surpassed $550,000. Then kept climbing. In 2025, the fourth edition brought in more than $1 million. Now, with Cyclethon 5, Connor has brought the total amount raised across all events to over $5 million.There is also a personal reason behind this effort. Connor’s close friend Ironmouse lives with an immune condition. His story has played a big role in shaping this fundraiser and keeping it focused on real impact.The timing of this finale made things even more interesting. The Sidemen Charity Match that same weekend raised over $8 million for charity. This means that two major creator-driven fundraisers were happening at the same time, which shows just how much influence online communities now have when it comes to helping others.Connor kept things simple when speaking to viewers during the final stream. “This is something we build together every year and it’s getting bigger because of all of you,” he said.

Pahalgam: A year after the terrorist attack that rocked Kashmir’s beautiful hill town, tourist footfall in Pahalgam has declined sharply, reducing the vibrancy of one of the busiest holiday destinations in the region.Before the attack, the city regularly received 3,000 to 5,000 visitors per day. Today, the numbers tell a different story. Official data obtained by TOI from the local tourism center showed that from May 2025 to April 15, 2026, Pahalgam recorded 4,30,495 domestic tourists, a sharp decline from earlier years, when annual tourists were between 12 to 15 lakh, with a monthly average of around 1 to 1.1 lakh visitors.The decline is particularly impressive when compared to April 2025, the month of the attack. By April 22, when the attack occurred, about 1.37 lakh tourists had visited the city in 22 days.The decline in tourist footfall in Pahalgam can also be gauged by comparing the number of tourists visiting this picturesque town from January to April 2025, when the total number of visitors during these four months had reached 463,390. In contrast, data from January to April 2026 shows a steep decline with only 254,930 tourists across all months, nearly 45% less than the same period in 2025. The cumulative decline of more than 200,000 tourists suggests a significant negative trend.Yet, amid the recession, a new and sad milestone has emerged. A martyr’s memorial, established by the Jammu and Kashmir government near the popular “selfie point” of Pahalgam on the banks of the Lidder river, has become a focal point for visitors. The memorial bears the names of all 26 tourists who lost their lives in the attack.For many, the trip is less about leisure and more about recollection.On the banks of the river, tourists gather as usual, some standing on stones to take photographs, some sitting in small groups having breakfast, some dipping their feet in the cool water.However, as they approach the monument, their expressions reveal what has changed in a year. His mood changes. Some people stand silently and read each name written on the monument. Others raise their phones to capture the tragic moment.The list of 26 starts with Atul Srikant Mone. It ends with Yatish Bhai Sudhirbhai Pamar. Number 22 is that of Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a local pony rider who was killed while trying to save tourists during the attack.Ravi C, a tourist from Karnataka, said this was his first visit to Pahalgam and despite what had happened last year, he had come here. He was taking pictures of his young child, who was saluting the monument.Ayaan from Mumbai, who was traveling with his family, said the violence has not kept him away. “Incidents keep happening,” he said.Driver Kuldeep Singh from Punjab had brought the visitors from Punjab. They were also reading the names. Kantrajpa, a retired army officer from Bengaluru, said he wanted to see the place for himself. The attack hasn’t stopped him, he said.Tourism department officials at the tourist welcome center across the road said tourists have started returning to Pahalgam. He said there were almost no tourists at the resort in the four months after last year’s attack. “The hoteliers had closed their hotels. But with the continued efforts of the government, things have started improving,” an official said.Tourism infrastructure in the area remains adequate, with about 107 hotels, 100 guest houses and an equal number of homestays registered by the tourism department. However, officials say a large number of unregistered lodges are operating outside formal records.
