Pradeep Ranganathan plays Vibe Vasi, who challenges the dating app LIK created by SJ Suryah.ETimes’ review for the film reads, “Set in 2040, Vignesh Shivan’s Love Insurance Company grapples with a question that feels intensely contemporary: Can technology really portray something as unpredictable and deeply felt as love? Despite its sci-fi trappings, LIC is fundamentally an old-school romance between two people who are shaped by opposing belief systems. The film is set in a vividly imagined, tech-driven Chennai. The story unfolds with confidence, with world-building that gives the story a bright, futuristic glow (a smart effort from DOP Ravi Varman, production designer Muthuraj and the VFX team), and a soundtrack (by Anirudh) that makes it live and young.“‘LIK: Love Insurance Company’ is written and directed by Vignesh Shivan. The film stars Pradeep Ranganathan, SJ Suryah and Kriti Shetty in lead roles, with Yogi Babu, Seeman, Gauri G Kishan and others in supporting roles. The music is by Anirudh Ravichander and the film was shot simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu.Disclaimer: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.

New Delhi: PM Modi on Saturday contacted leaders of all parties in both Houses and sought their support next week to unanimously pass the Women’s Reservation Bill, which aims to reserve one-third of the seats in the Lok Sabha and assemblies from 2029. Indicating his government’s intention to pass the bills during the session beginning April 16, Modi wrote, “After extensive deliberations, we have come to the conclusion that the time has come to implement the Nari Shakti Vandan Act in its true spirit across the country. It is imperative that the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and assembly elections be held with women’s reservation.”.. will be the fulfillment of an important responsibility towards the women of our country,” the PM wrote in the letter exclusively accessed by TOI.

BJP will need opposition’s support for two-thirds majority on Women’s Bill.

This outreach comes in the backdrop of opposition parties’ resistance to the government’s plans for faster implementation of the quota rather than waiting for the completion of the 2027 census: something that will almost ensure that women’s reservation is not implemented before the 2034 Lok Sabha elections.The BJP will need the support of opposition parties to get the required two-thirds majority to pass the constitutional amendment in Parliament.Emphasizing that the issue of women’s reservation in Parliament and state legislatures is more important than any one party or individual, Modi said, “This is the moment to demonstrate responsibility towards women and future generations. Since all political parties have long expressed the desire to increase women’s representation in politics, this is the right time to convert that aspiration into reality.”The Women’s Quota Bill seeks to delink the implementation of the women’s quota from the findings of the 2027 census and instead proposes to base it on the 2011 census.In his letter, the PM recalled the unanimous support for the women’s quota bill introduced by his government in 2023 and called it “a memorable moment that reflects our unity”.He also addressed the opposition’s objections about the timing of the passage of the bills, reminding that all parties had supported early implementation. He said, “During those discussions (in 2023)… there was a broad consensus that the provisions of this historic law should come into effect as soon as possible. Leaders of many parties were of the view…”As a result of the amendments, the number of seats in the Lok Sabha will increase from 543 to 816, of which 273 will be reserved for women. Earlier this week, the Union Cabinet had approved amendments in which three bills will be introduced: the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, the Delimitation Bill and a law to extend reservation for women in Union Territories like Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir and Puducherry, where there are legislative assemblies.In his letter, the PM said that constitutional experts have been consulted on this issue and the government is also in talks with political parties.She stressed that the proposed amendment is a “strong step” towards increasing the participation of women, who constitute half the population.

Kolkata: Seventeen-year-old Meena Jalal, who was subject to the SIR decision, never knew in her lifetime that she was eligible to become a voter. The voter from Chowringhee assembly constituency died on March 27, days before his name was to be named in the final list of April 9 by the Election Commission. Although she was eligible, her husband, Jalaluddin Ahmed Siddiqui, did not succeed in the adjudication process, nor did their son, Imran Zaki. Both have moved the tribunal. His three other sons and one daughter have qualified as “voters” after submitting enumeration forms. “She was ill and under mental stress as she knew she could not vote in the Assembly elections, but when the Election Commission cleared her name, she could not – this is the irony of fate. Social entrepreneur and educationist Imran Zaki said, “She had voted in all the elections before and this time she was a little worried… Since she was ill, the BLO came and collected all the documents.” “All our names were in the 2002 SIR, and even after sharing all the data and documents, we are being continuously harassed. They are not giving any reason why our names were removed. There should be transparency from the Election Commission. They are playing a game of hide and seek with ill intentions.” “Our family has been living on Weston Street in Bowbazar for more than seven decades, where our grandfather Nazir Ahmed, who was in the British police, lived and we are still living in the same building,” Zaki said. He said his father, an 81-year-old businessman and social worker, is “very worried” as he fears he will not be able to cast his vote this time. He said, “We belong to this country and have been associated with this city since the British era. How can they remove our name? It is a mockery of the democratic system. We hope that we will be nominated soon.”

CM announces withdrawal of forest cases against 4,000 Tharu tribals in Lakhimpur Kheri, many of whom were blind, disabled, elderly or even dead when the case was registered

Bareilly: CM of UP Yogi Adityanath announced on Saturday that forest cases registered against nearly 4,000 Tharu tribals will be withdrawn, bringing relief to poor villagers and their families who have been fighting the cases for more than a decade.This announcement made in Lakhimpur Kheri comes after months times of IndiaThe report, dated November 11, 2025, details how the forest department in 2012 had booked members of the Tharu community, including the blind, physically or mentally disabled, elderly villagers and even dead people.Without naming the Samajwadi Party, Yogi said that the previous government had given protection to mafias and habitual criminals while harassing the Tharu community during their struggle. He said, “The previous government used to promote mafias and habitual criminals in every city. They harassed the Tharu community by registering fake cases against them during their struggle, but now the BJP government will not allow this to happen.”“times of India had pointed out how many of those booked were poor and uneducated villagers, who continued to appear in court for years to stand trial for crimes they said they had never committed.Those named in the FIR also include Surdas Ram Bhajan, 40, blind since birth, who lives with his family in Saria Para, a Tharu village about 1.5 km from the India-Nepal border near the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve. “I have never even seen a forest,” he told TOI. “I walk with the help of my 70-year-old mother – she holds one end of the stick, and I hold the other. My younger brother, Rajjan, is mentally challenged and has been in chains since childhood, yet both of us were booked.“After the CM’s announcement, Surdas said that this decision has relieved the burden on his family for years. “I want to thank MLA Romi Sawhney and the CM for their gift,” he said. His mother Gulabu Devi said, “My sons never even went to the forest, but the department implicated them in false cases. But now we are happy that we are free.” 37 year old Rajjan was accused of illegal tree cutting.Another villager, Har Dayal Singh, 55, who suffers from chronic spine disease and cannot stand straight, was accused of climbing trees to destroy bird nests. “They say I’ve climbed a tree. I can barely stand,” he said after Saturday’s announcement. He had said that now he can live in peace without making rounds of the courts. In Sariya Para, where the population is around 1,500, at least 375 residents were booked under various provisions of the Indian Forest Act and Wildlife (Protection) Act.“I have been working on this for a long time but the TOI story gave a big boost to our effort and finally we are seeing the fruits of the efforts,” said Sahni, who represents Palia constituency.Tharu community members said their lives would now become easier, especially as the relief came with the recognition of their land rights. Tharu, an indigenous community of the Terai region Uttar PradeshUttarakhand, Bihar and southern Nepal have historically depended on farming and forest-related livelihoods. But after Dudhwa was declared a national park in 1977 and later a tiger reserve in 1988, many Tharu villages began to live within or around protected forest areas, limiting their traditional access to land and resources.Although the Forest Rights Act, 2006 was intended to recognize the rights of Scheduled Tribes and traditional forest dwellers over habitat, cultivation and forest use, many Tharu claims in Lakhimpur Kheri were either rejected or left pending.

​Namibia has refused to grant operating license to Starlink

Elon Musk’s space company Starlink recently posted an update on Satellite 34343, which it lost contact with late last month. The global internet company, owned by SpaceX, said the satellite “experienced an anomaly” while it was in LEO about 560 km above Earth. On March 30, 2026, the official Starlink X account announced that it had lost communication with Starlink satellite 34343. The post cited an “anomaly” as the cause, and added that Starlink and SpaceX will work on any “corrective actions” if needed.However, space technology company LeoLabs had a different explanation for the incident. LeoLabs released a series of posts following Starlink’s post, describing the disappearance of satellite 34343 as a “fragment formation event” that created at least “tens of objects in the vicinity of the satellite.”

What did Starlink say when the satellite disappeared?

On Sunday, March 29, Starlink satellite 34343 experienced an anomaly in orbit, resulting in a loss of communication with the satellite ~560 km above Earth. Latest analysis shows no new risks from this event @Space_Station for your crew, or the upcoming launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission. We will continue to monitor the satellite for any trackable debris and coordinate with @NASA and @USSpaceForce. The incident also posed no new threats to this morning’s Transporter-16 mission, which was designed to avoid Starlink, with payloads deployed either far above or far below the constellation. The SpaceX and Starlink teams are actively working to determine the root cause and will rapidly implement any necessary corrective actions.

What Leolabs said

LeoLabs provided further comments following Starlink’s post, adding additional context:LeoLabs detected a fragment formation event associated with SpaceX Starlink 34343 on March 29, 2026.1/ The LeoLabs global radar network detected tens of objects in the vicinity of the satellite shortly after the event, passing over our radar site in the Azores, Portugal for the first time. Additional fragments may arise – analysis is ongoing.2/ We described this event as likely being caused by an internal energy source rather than a collision with space debris or another object.Due to the low altitude of the event, fragments of this anomaly will fall out of orbit within a few weeks.3/ Our analysis indicates that this event is very similar to a previous event involving Starlink 35956 on 17 December 2025. These incidents illustrate the need for rapid characterization of abnormal events to enable elucidation of the operating environment.4/ Our team will continue to monitor the situation and provide ongoing data and insights in support of our customers and partners.

Starlink satellite captures ‘tumbling’ image in 2025

Starlink satellite 35956 suffered a serious anomaly in December 2025. Here’s how Starlink described the incident in a post on X:On December 17, Starlink experienced an anomaly on satellite 35956, resulting in a loss of communication with the vehicle at 418 km. The anomaly caused air to enter the propulsion tanks, rapidly decay by about 4 km in semi-major axis, and released a small number of trackable low relative velocity objects. SpaceX is coordinating with @USSpaceForce and @NASA to monitor the objects. The satellite remains largely intact, wobbly, and will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and be completely destroyed within a few weeks. The satellite’s current trajectory will keep it below the @Space_Station, posing no threat to the orbiting laboratory or its crew.As the world’s largest satellite constellation operator, we are deeply committed to space security. We take these incidents seriously. Our engineers are rapidly working to narrow down the root cause and source of the anomaly and are already in the process of deploying software in our vehicles that increases protection against this type of incident.

An Indian-origin man in Auckland says he has filed a police complaint and sought help from online safety authorities after a video of him allegedly dumping cardboard went viral, leading to abusive messages and public backlash.The man (name withheld) says he feels unsafe due to the incident after the footage was shared on social media. They also claim that the person who videotaped the confrontation damaged their vehicle and broke the rearview mirror during the episode.“I have apologized to the police, I have also told them that I am ready to pay the fine (if any) and apologize to the person who made our video,” the man told The Indian Weekender.As reported by Indian Weekender, police have confirmed that they have received a complaint related to the incident, which took place in Alfriston, Auckland on April 4. A spokesperson said, “Police can confirm that they have received a report regarding an incident in Alfriston earlier this month.”The man says he and a friend were attempting to dispose of three large pieces of cardboard before a planned ceremony at his home. He claims he checked recycling options in Manurewa and Papakura, but found the facilities were closed due to the public holiday.On his return, he tried to leave the cardboard in a grassy area, believing it would break down over time, before being confronted by a passing motorist.“Within 15 seconds, a car stopped in front of our car and a man came out with a phone camera, started recording and started abusing,” the man said.The confrontation turned tense on video, with the person recording shouting, “Don’t come to our country and spread filth”. The footage also captured the abuse.The video begins with the recorder saying, “You f**a**”, and shows the man apologizing and returning the cardboard to his vehicle after being confronted. In response, the recorder adds, “Don’t be sorry. Don’t come to our country and spread filth.”The clip has since gone viral, garnering thousands of reactions and comments. The man says he has also contacted NetSafe for assistance in removing the video from social media. However, he claims the organization is limited in what it can do.“Netsafe told me they wouldn’t be able to remove all videos because the videos don’t go against community standards,” the person said.“The video is viral in India also. NetSafe has been able to remove only a few videos,” he said.He says the footage has spread online due to pages seeking engagement and views, and says he regrets the incident.“I want to tell people that if you do something wrong, admit it and apologize immediately,” he said.
