PM Modi’s guarantee for West Bengal – 7th Pay Commission, corrupt TMC members will be sent to jail
New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday unveiled a set of “six guarantees” for West Bengal, saying the BJP government will take strong action against illegal infiltration, implement the 7th Pay Commission and ensure that no “TMC goon” or “goon” is spared from the law.Addressing a public rally in Haldia, PM Modi exuded confidence of political change in the state, saying, “Bengal has decided to overcome every adverse situation this time. There is going to be change in the whole of Bengal.”
He launched a scathing attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress, saying “this ruthless government is certain to go.”“TMC is dragging Bengal down,” he alleged, claiming corruption and criminal patronage were deeply entrenched in the system. He further alleged that illegal activities like animal smuggling are flourishing under the current system.
six guarantees
Underscoring his guarantees, PM Modi said the BJP will ensure strict implementation of law and accountability if voted to power:
- The BJP government will bring confidence by changing the atmosphere of fear and restore faith in the rule of law.
- The administrative machinery will be fully accountable to the public it serves.
- All files of every scam, every act of corruption, every injustice against daughters and every rape case will be reopened.
- Whoever has committed corruption in TMC rule is in jail. “Whether it is a minister or a watchman, the law will hold everyone accountable. No TMC goon will be able to escape the law now.”
- Refugees will be given every right and privilege guaranteed by the Constitution, while infiltrators will be driven out and will not be allowed to reside in India.
- The 7th Pay Commission will be implemented as soon as the BJP government is formed.
‘Double engine government’ for Bengal
PM Modi stressed that the best interest of West Bengal is for the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister to work together, making the “double engine government” necessary for the state.He said, “The best interest of Bengal is not in hostility towards the Prime Minister; rather, the people benefit most if both the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister work together. That is why a double engine government is absolutely necessary for Bengal. The double engine government will make Bengal self-reliant in the fisheries and seafood sector.”
Boost to fisheries sector
The Prime Minister highlighted the Central Government’s steps towards promoting the fisheries sector across the country, including the creation of a separate Ministry of Fisheries – a first since independence.PM Modi said, “After decades of independence, our government for the first time created a separate Ministry of Fisheries to cater to the needs of fishermen, their families and the blue economy as a whole.”He said the BJP has allocated a record budget for the welfare of fishermen, provided access to the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) facility, and offered insurance coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh for fishermen, the benefits of which have already been availed by lakhs of people.He said that central schemes face opposition in the state due to political reasons. “This increase in fish production has received significant support from the PM Matsya Sampada Yojana. However, they have a problem with it because it has a ‘PM’ tag,” he said.PM Modi said, “TMC leaders may hate me, but in that hatred they have not even left the word ‘PM’.”Voting for the 294-member West Bengal Assembly will be held in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with counting taking place on May 4. The rally is seen as crucial to the BJP’s efforts to retain its political influence in the region, which has emerged as a central battleground in its contest with the TMC.
Uk: Unseasonal rains caused heavy damage to the farmers’ ready wheat crop.
Unseasonal rains and strong winds have caused huge damage to farmers’ ready wheat crop. The harvested crop spread in the fields for drying got wet while the standing wheat fell due to gusts of wind and reached the verge of destruction. This rain at the time of harvesting has ruined months of hard work of the farmers and now the danger of crop failure is looming. The wheat crop has suffered 15 to 30 percent damage due to unseasonal rains. However, farmers are saying that there is more than 50 percent loss.
Wheat crop is produced in approximately 19 thousand hectares in the district. At present the wheat crop is standing ready in the fields. Farmers in the surrounding areas including Panchayat Ghar, Belbaba and Gaulapar have harvested the crop and spread it in the fields for drying. Due to the rain from Tuesday till Wednesday afternoon, the wheat crop kept for drying in the fields got wet while the standing crop has fallen on the fields due to strong gusts of wind. Farmers say that if the weather does not clear up soon, the crop will get spoiled.
I had sown wheat in 15 bighas. A crop of 10 bighas was harvested by employing labourers. The harvested crop got wet due to rain. If sunlight does not come in time, the grains will turn black. -Mohan Joshi, farmer, Haripur Motiya
About one and a half acres of wheat crop was harvested and kept for drying. There was no sunshine on Tuesday and it rained on Wednesday due to which the crops got wet. I thought I would get the fight done in two-three days. -Narendra Singh Mehta, Gaulapar
Due to rain at the time of harvesting, the crops standing in the field have been damaged. Wheat crop in four bighas was destroyed. This time good profits were expected but unseasonal rains ruined everything. -Madan Chandra, Okhalkanda
Can get relief from insurance scheme
Chief Agriculture Officer in-charge Gitanjali Bangari says that the farmers who have taken crop insurance under the Prime Minister Crop Insurance Scheme will have to inform the insurance company about the loss within 24 hours. After this, assessment will be made and compensation will be given. Based on the joint report of Patwari, Agriculture and Horticulture Department from Tehsil, the damage investigation report will also be prepared and sent to the government.
15 to 30 percent wheat crops have been damaged in the plains and hilly areas. The Revenue Department is assessing the loss and preparing a report. Compensation will be given as per the rules as per the report. – Ritu Tamta, Chief Agriculture Officer
Fruit flowers fall, vegetables get damaged
Unseasonal rain and hailstorm in Nainital district has ruined the hard work of the farmers. The flowers in the fruits have fallen. Seasonal vegetables have also been damaged. DM Lalit Mohan Rayal said that damage to fruit and potato crops has also been reported. He has instructed the Agriculture and Horticulture Department to conduct a survey of the affected areas. Teams of the Agriculture Department will soon reach every village and assess the damage.
Vegetable farming has been damaged due to unseasonal rains. There is a possibility of fruit yield also decreasing due to flower fall. Rain accompanied by hailstorm has increased the concern of farmers in Bhimtal, Dhari, Okhalkanda, Ramgarh, Dhanachuli, Mukteshwar and Betalghat areas. Harendra Singh, Narendra Bisht of Mukteshwar told that the fruits of peach, plum, apricot and pear have fallen. Crops of wheat, gram, lentils and barley have been completely destroyed in dozens of gram sabhas including Kaladhungi, Kotabagh, Bailpadav. Dialogue
Boon for mango litchi
While the unseasonal rains in Ramnagar have proved to be a boon for the mango and litchi crops, the wheat crop has been ruined by the rains. In Ramnagar, litchi is grown in 1100 hectares while mango is grown in 900 hectares. Horticulture Officer AS Parwal said that in this season, along with dust, dirt also accumulates on the trees. Due to this, there is a possibility of many diseases occurring in the trees. The risk of disease has reduced considerably as the mango and litchi trees were washed clean by the rain on Tuesday. This is expected to produce better crops.
Dhanachuli area has been inspected to assess the damage. Crops and fruits have been damaged. A report is being prepared on the basis of which compensation will be given. – Prema Rana, Chief Park Officer
Is BTS’s Jin dating Shin Se-kyung? Viral photos and ‘clues’ are fueling massive fan speculation.
BTS really needs no introduction. In the world of K-pop, the group has long been a global phenomenon, and its members are household names among Korean music, culture, and fans alike. Each Beatle-like personality in the lineup has carved out a distinct identity, and over the years, some have quietly stepped into the spotlight through dating rumors, brief public moments, and quiet interactions that fans love. Recently, attention has turned to one of the biggest and most beloved members, Jin, after a wave of images and speculations linked him to actress and singer Shin Se‑kyung.The discussion began when candid stylized photos of Jin and Shin Se‑kyung appeared online, showing them together in a way that seemed unusually close and comfortable. The two appear comfortable, almost as if they are used to being in the same frame, and the photos quickly went viral on Korean forums and fan communities. Some fans interpreted the photos as innocent meetings or coincidences; Others saw them as subtle evidence of a personal relationship. The big question that followed was simple but fraught: Is Jin actually in a cool, real-life relationship with Shin Se‑Kyung, or is this just another episode of fans’ imagination running ahead of the facts?
Till now no clear answer has come from either side. Neither Jin nor Shin Sekyung have confirmed anything publicly, and their respective agencies have remained silent, not releasing any official statements regarding the photos or dating rumors. This silence has only increased the discussion, not quelled it. On platforms like Nate Pan and small fan pages, posts linking the two have collected thousands of clicks, showing how much interest there is in their possible connection.One of the most talked about “clues” is the viral claim that Shin Sekyung was seen wearing a similar jacket to one of Jin’s concerts. Fans pointed out that in one photo, she is seen in a black T-shirt with a jacket and a brown mask, and in the other photo, Jin is seen in a beige coat, which is very similar to the coat she was wearing. The same jacket appears in different contexts – concerts, recording sessions and promotional settings – leading fans to speculate that perhaps the two are quietly matching clothes, perhaps even leaning into a subtle “couple code” that only regular followers will notice.For those who have followed their conversations for a while, the connection feels even more layered. Years ago, Shin Se‑Kyung appeared in Jin’s solo music video Don’t Say You Love Me, a highly emotional piece about letting go of the person you love most. The chemistry between them was praised for its raw, vulnerable quality. At the time, Jin himself admitted that he was nervous about working with a professional actor, saying in an interview that it was his first time acting in a music video with such an actor. He described feeling awkward, clumsy, and unsure of how to navigate the scenes, but was also grateful for Shin’s passionate performance.He said, “It was my first time acting with an actor, so I was very awkward and clumsy.” “I was so nervous that things didn’t go as well as I had imagined. Still, I’m grateful for Shin Se‑kyung’s passionate performance. If you look closely, you’ll notice that I’m acting weird.”That humble, almost childlike honesty made their dynamic on-screen experience even more honest. Now, with recent photos circulating, fans are re-watching that video, revisiting their expressions, and wondering if any of that nervous energy off-screen might have turned into something more personal.Public reaction to the rumors has been mixed. Comments from Korean fans, which dominated much of the initial discussion, suggest that many considered the photos to be nothing more than coincidences or friendly, professional encounters. The idea is that two people can look “cute” together without being romantically involved. At the same time, an equal or even more vociferous section of the fanbase is quietly supporting the pair, praising their looks together and calling it a “harmless, sweet scandal” compared to the darker, more poisonous rumors that sometimes swirl around celebrities. Some fans also joke that without major off-stage drama for a long time, Jin’s rumored relationship with Shin almost seems like a soft, heartwarming story rather than a scandal.The way Jin and Shin are connected now is a combination of old and new elements. The emotional depth of Don’t Say You Love Me created a cool chemistry that fans never quite forgot, and the new images stir that memory, making it feel like a narrative thread is quietly being picked up again. Plus, online sleuths are busy piecing together small details — shared jackets, similar incidents, close body language — that collectively feel like a story, even if it’s not official yet.For now, the honestest conclusion is also the simplest: fans have found a story that resonates with them, and the truth probably lies somewhere between coincidence, genuine friendship, and perhaps, if the universe is kind, a quiet, private romance that both of them can choose to keep to themselves. The Internet loves details, patterns, and “evidence,” but in the end, only Jin and Shin know what’s really going on between them. Until there’s an official statement, the viral photos will remain what they started – photos that spark conversation, imagination and a little hope that two people who seem so emotionally connected on screen can, perhaps, also be quietly connected in real life.

हाईकोर्ट: बेरोजगारी कोई बहाना नहीं, बच्चों का भरण-पोषण करना होगा – हाईकोर्ट ने साफ किया कि बेरोजगारी कोई बहाना नहीं; बच्चों को अवश्य प्रदान किया जाना चाहिए
उत्तराखंड हाई कोर्ट ने एक अहम फैसले में साफ कर दिया है कि कोई भी सक्षम और योग्य व्यक्ति सिर्फ बेरोजगारी का हवाला देकर अपने नाबालिग बच्चों के भरण-पोषण की जिम्मेदारी से नहीं बच सकता। अदालत ने कहा कि एक सक्षम व्यक्ति को आय अर्जित करने की क्षमता माना जाता है और जानबूझकर बेरोजगार रहना कानूनी जिम्मेदारी से बचने का आधार नहीं हो सकता है।
मामला पारिवारिक न्यायालय, हरिद्वार के आदेश से संबंधित है, जिसमें पिता को अपने दो नाबालिग बच्चों को प्रति माह 6500 रुपये का भरण-पोषण देने का निर्देश दिया गया था। इस आदेश को चुनौती देते हुए पिता ने अपनी कमजोर आर्थिक स्थिति और बेरोजगारी का हवाला दिया, जबकि बच्चों की ओर से भरण-पोषण राशि बढ़ाने की मांग की गई. कोर्ट ने सुनवाई के दौरान पाया कि पिता योग्य एमसीए ग्रेजुएट हैं और उनके पास कार्य अनुभव भी है। यहां तक कि उसने पहले एक विदेशी कंपनी में नौकरी का ऑफर मिलने और करीब 64 हजार रुपये मासिक आय होने की बात भी स्वीकारी. ऐसे में कोर्ट ने बेरोजगारी के दावे को झूठा और बेईमानी माना.
कोर्ट ने साफ किया कि मां की कमाई से पिता की जिम्मेदारी कम नहीं हो जाती. बच्चों का पालन-पोषण करना पिता की स्वतंत्र और कानूनी ज़िम्मेदारी है, खासकर तब जब बच्चे माँ के साथ रह रहे हों और वह उनका दैनिक खर्च वहन कर रही हो। कोर्ट ने कहा कि प्रति बच्चे 6500 रुपये का गुजारा भत्ता उचित है. इसे बढ़ाने या घटाने की कोई जरूरत नहीं है.

Dubai News: Dubai Humanitarian Aid delivers 96 tonnes of medical aid to Afghanistan: UAE-led effort to aid 250,000 beneficiaries | world News
Dubai has strengthened its role as a global humanitarian hub; Dubai Humanitarian airlifted 96 metric tons of critical medical supplies to Afghanistan.The shipment departed from Al Maktoum International Airport and arrived in Kabul as part of a coordinated response including key international agencies. World Health OrganizationMédecins Sans Frontieres and UNICEF.The cargo includes emergency health kits, essential medicines and primary health care supplies designed to maintain hospitals and clinics operating under severe constraints. Officials confirmed that the shipment is expected to support more than 250,000 people for three months, helping to maintain continuity of care in critical areas.
UAE led operation
The airlift represents a highly coordinated logistics effort involving government officials, humanitarian agencies, and supply chain partners. Dubai Humanitarian acted as the central hub, enabling the consolidation, storage and dispatch of supplies within a short operational period.According to Giuseppe Saba, CEO and board member of Dubai Humanitarian, the mission demonstrates how integrated logistics platforms can ensure fast, reliable and uninterrupted delivery of aid even in complex and high-risk environments.Dubai’s infrastructure allows humanitarian partners to pre-arrange supplies and deploy them quickly as the crisis escalates. The hub currently connects approximately 80 international organisations, including UN agencies and global NGOs, making it one of the largest humanitarian logistics hubs worldwide.For Gulf audiences, it highlights how the UAE is not only a donor, but also a major enabler of global relief operations, linking supply chains between continents.
Afghanistan crisis explained
The latest shipment comes as Afghanistan faces a deep and prolonged humanitarian crisis, with its health care system under sustained pressure.Medical facilities across the country are dealing with:
- Shortage of essential medicines and medical consumables
- Limited funding and operational capacity
- Increase in patient load due to economic hardship and displacement
In many areas, access to health care remains inconsistent, making external assistance critical. Without regular supply flow, hospitals risk a reduction in services, which has a direct impact on vulnerable populations, including women, children and the elderly.Humanitarian agencies emphasize that timely delivery of medical supplies is critical not only for emergency care but also for routine treatment, vaccination, and disease control efforts.
Dubai’s humanitarian response
The Afghanistan airlift is part of a broader surge in activity led by Dubai. Over the past two weeks, Dubai Humanitarian has helped deliver more than 140 metric tons of aid to several areas facing crisis.These operations include:
- Air Cargo Mission to Afghanistan
- Overland medical aid delivery to Gaza
- Ground convoy support to Lebanon
This multi-channel approach ensures that support continues to flow even if some routes are disrupted. By combining air, land and logistics coordination, Dubai maintains continuous humanitarian access into unstable areas.The scale and speed of these efforts underline Dubai’s growing importance as a global logistics gateway for emergency response, capable of providing life-saving assistance within hours of mobilization.
What does this mean?
The latest operation reflects a broader shift in humanitarian response towards faster, more coordinated and logistics-driven interventions that can adapt to rapidly evolving crises.Dubai’s model is built on speed and scale, where pre-emptive supplies, centralized coordination and multi-agency partnerships come together to ensure assistance without delay. This approach is becoming increasingly important as conflict, climate events and economic instability place pressure on traditional supply chains.As global crises become more complex, the ability to deliver aid within hours rather than days is no longer an advantage, but a necessity. Dubai’s expanding humanitarian network shows how strategic infrastructure and international cooperation can translate that urgency into action on the ground.For the UAE and the wider Gulf region, this goes beyond relief efforts. It signals a deeper, more influential role in shaping how humanitarian aid is delivered around the world faster, better, and with far greater reach.
Not ‘Chasemaster’ Virat Kohli! David Miller, KL Rahul lead this IPL record. cricket news
New Delhi: Batting while chasing is considered one of the toughest tasks in cricket and those who perform well under pressure are often ranked among the best players in the world. The first name that comes to mind when discussing chase is none other than ‘Chessmaster’. Virat Kohli. The Indian talisman has single-handedly won many matches while chasing the target and scored a mountain of runs. Indian Premier League No exception, as Kohli leads the league in scoring most runs while chasing with 4027 runs in 125 innings. This is slightly less than 50% of his record 8758 IPL runs. However, in terms of best average while chasing, Kohli does not even feature in the top five among the 231 batsmen who have batted at least 10 times while chasing. In fact, the Royal Challengers Bangalore star is ranked 10th with an average of 41.51.David Miller, who has been in the news since Wednesday night when he refused to take a single off the last ball which led to Delhi Capitals’ one-run loss to Gujarat Titans, tops this exclusive list. Despite that costly moment, Miller’s reputation as a finisher remains intact, and his numbers underline his dominance in chasing.Miller has scored 1,816 runs in 67 innings at an impressive average of 49.08 and strike rate of 142.54, which includes 12 fifties and one century.His DC teammate KL Rahul, whose 92 off 52 against Gujarat Titans went in vain, is second in the list with an average of 47.92 in 66 innings. While chasing the target, Rahul has scored 2,636 runs at a strike rate of 138.22, which includes 25 half-centuries.Kohli’s RCB teammate Phil Salt is third with an average of 46.92 in just 16 innings. He has scored 657 runs at an impressive strike rate of 178.04, which includes eight fifties.Former Mumbai Indians batsman Lendl Simmons is in second place with an average of 46.22, having scored 416 runs in 11 innings, which includes one century and three fifties.Sai Sudarshan completes the top five with 908 runs at a strike rate of 141.43 while chasing an average of 45.40 in 22 innings, which included one hundred and five fifties.
