In UP's Muzaffarnagar, a mannequin was dropped into the river as a part of the mock drill to check the preparedness of the divers which were on standby to rescue. The floating mannequin was immediately rescued.

VIDEO | Glasgow: The first person judoka Asmita Dey wanted to tell about her Commonwealth Games gold was the one person she no longer could do it. Her father, a cycle mechanic who earned barely Rs 300 a day and raised his family in a mud house in a small village in Tripura, died of a brain stroke seven months ago.

On Friday, as the 23-year-old became the first Indian judoka to win a Commonwealth Games gold in the women's 48kg category, the medal felt as much his as hers.

"When my father passed away, I thought everything had finished because he was the one who supported me," Asmita said, struggling to hold back tears after her historic triumph.

For a few moments, the celebrations gave way to memories of the man who had carried her dream long before it became India's dream.

"I am from a very small village in Tripura. People there don't dream this big. But Papa always supported me," she said.

"In a country (China) where inequality is immense, the exam is one of the few institutions that must be seen to be fair."

Food for thought by @pallaviaiyar in ToI today.

Two Nations Of The Exam
The ideas of India and China converge on public examinations, because these promise a fair shot in deeply unequal societies.

Irony just died again. The cleanest man in Indian politics did not need an SC certificate of his integrity. Instead it is those who sought to implicate him in these charges who ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Mark Zuckerberg warned that a US ban on Chinese ​AI models would not be "an effective solution" and suggested that US companies should instead "systematically" identify bottlenecks and roadblocks in order to better compete with Chinese AI firms. https://t.co/ffYqQ4S96b

Had a very productive and engaging meeting with US congresswoman @RepHoulahan (Dem, PA) over lunch today. We touched on a broad range of topics from regional affairs to emerging technology investments to politics in general. I articulated my strong position that #SriLanka as the centre of the #IndianOcean must punch way above our weight class in regional maritime issues and together with our friends leverage our enviable geo-strategic location to bring prosperity to our people and peace to the region. A @usairforce veteran and a memeber of the House Committee on Armed Services with a diverse professional background prior to politics; from a business and community leader to a high school chemistry teacher, I sensed Chrissy’s enthusiasm to build bridges of global cooperation to make the world a better place! I wish her well and hope this visit would help strengthen the ties between #America and #SriLanka. @USEmbSL @EmbassyofSL

Hilarious. I don't get the Hrithik Roshan analogy, but I like Saurav's grace and polish in the face of coarseness.😂Speaks volumes for just who's educated and who isn't.

I wish @NalinSKohli would be asked to teach good conduct to his fellow party members.

@PreetiChoudhry ji aap khud sadak pe jaake apni gaaliyaan aur kapde utarne ki aazadi kyu nahi dikhati? Dusaron ki betiyon ko gaali bakne aur kapde utarne ki aazadi keliye uksa rahi ho, aap pehle khud woh sab karke dikhao ya yeh sab nasihat sirf gareebon ke bachchon keliye hai ?
