Gill was not a blood thirsty crazy. When policemen’s families started being killed by the terrorists he responded with equal brutality. He understood the Jat Sikh better than you do. Without him Punjab would have burned for another decade.
Look at how human traffickers operate in plain sight, without any fear of the law or a shred of humanity:
On June 18, a minor girl in Sriganganagar boarded an e-rickshaw from her friend's house to her home. The driver, who was on the payroll of human traffickers, was tasked with identifying, manipulating, and earning the trust of vulnerable girls among his passengers. He would then deliver them to specific hotels designated by the traffickers in exchange for money. The traffickers would subsequently sell these girls to clients as part of an organized prostitution syndicate.
This e-rickshaw driver, Rambabu, delivered the girl to Hotel Joy Inn, trapping her in a horrific, multi-day criminal network. Over the following five days, the hotel owners repeatedly handed the minor over to different individuals, forcing her to endure horrific rape by up to six men daily. This totaled an estimated 32 perpetrators, who drugged her with alcohol to suppress her cries.
Though police initially suppressed the case to shield high-profile suspects, leaking details sparked massive public protests. Under pressure, authorities arrested 12 individuals, including hotel managers, and exposed over 150 illegal, unregistered hotels operating district-wide.
150 hotels doing this in just one city! Just one small city! Horrific to even think whats happening nationwide in this country.
(Kindly don't post girl's video from the hospital bed in replies without blurring the face. It's against the law to post minor rape victims pictures and videos).
Tomorrow’s programme in Balotra will be historic, marking the inauguration and laying of foundation stones of works worth over Rs. 1.06 lakh crore. This includes the dedication of the integrated refinery-cum-petrochemical complex at Pachpadra. This project will boost India’s energy and petrochemicals sector. It will also provide employment opportunities to several people.

#Alpha: WEAK.
Rating: ⭐️½
Weakest film in the #YRFSpyUniverse... Brilliant action set pieces, stunning visuals, and a few well-executed sequences, but the writing simply doesn't connect... Missed opportunity! #AlphaReview
When you walk into the auditorium to watch #Alpha, it's impossible not to carry the #Dhurandhar duology with you... Those films have set a new benchmark for spy thrillers rooted in patriotism.
#Alpha follows the familiar #YRF template of gloss, glamour, and high-octane action, but the patriotic emotion that should have been its strongest pillar is largely missing, despite the #Pakistan angle.
Director #ShivRawail had an interesting concept on hand, but the execution feels too Western in its approach... The emotional identification and relatability are missing.
#AliaBhatt tries hard, but looks miscast in a role like this... #Sharvari is relegated to the background... #AnilKapoor and #BobbyDeol deliver competent performances in their respective roles.
#HrithikRoshan's cameo feels forced and doesn't work.
⭐ Final word? #YRF needs to reset and reboot the #YRFSpyUniverse and bring back the believability, emotional connect, and relatability that got audiences hooked on these films in the first place.
The Pakistani I&B Minister now claims that Pakistanis are the children of the Indus Valley Civilization.
First it was the Arabs, then the Iranians, then the Chinese, then the Turks. Now, they're changing their dad's name for the fifth time.
Please give them some water 😂😅
"He has to go play."
Says the mother, clutching the bat of her son, Vihan, 11, who died after a tree fell on the school bus he was travelling in, in Mumbai. She says her son will return and go play, just as he did every day after school.
All of you, especially those who have children, can imagine the unbearable pain she must be going through. You bring a life into this world. You love them, nurture them, teach them values, witness their first smile, their first word, watch them run into your arms when you come home from work, and create countless precious memories. Once you become a parent, your children become your entire world. The thought of losing them is something no parent should ever have to endure.
This fate would still have been understandable had it been a truly unavoidable accident. But, as usual, there were warning signs. Residents of the area where the tree fell on the bus had repeatedly complained to the BMC about the condition of the trees.
In fact, the Garden Dept of BMC had also warned the Road Dept of BMC that road excavation was damaging tree roots, making the trees vulnerable to collapse during the monsoon. It asked them to stop digging near roots, remove the debris and warned it would be held responsible if any tree fell. But it wasn't taken seriously.
Now, the mayor has ordered an inquiry. Now, tree pruning will begin. Now, every necessary action will be taken. Sarkari kaam hota hai, lekin balidaan ke baad. Vihan ne balidaan de diya hai. Ab kuch dino tak sab kaam honge.
India’s tiger population has more than doubled in a decade, marking one of the greatest wildlife conservation comebacks in modern history.

BREAKING: 6 DEAD IN GERMANY MASS SHOOTING
A 45-year-old Turkish muslim man opened fire at a facility for pregnant women and young mothers near Hamburg; 6 dead and many injured. Suspect in custody.
Germany has some of the world's strictest gun laws.
In 1990, Sarla Bhat, 27, was working as a staff nurse at Srinagar’s SKIMS hospital to support her family, even as fear forced her community to flee.
On April 15, 1990, Sarla was abducted from her hostel. For four agonizing days, JKLF terrorists subjected her to brutal torture and sexual assault. When her body was dumped in Mallabagh on April 19, her killers had carved the acronym "JKLF" directly into her flesh from a knife.
The horror continued for her family. When Sarla’s bullet-ridden body returned to Anantnag, the neighborhood was already a ghost town emptied by the exodus. Marooned and helpless, the grieving family could not find enough people to carry her to a funeral pyre. As they attempted her final rites, a grenade was hurled at their home. This targeted terror forced the last remaining Hindu families to flee.
Systemic apathy followed. Though a police complaint was filed in 1990, the file was buried. It took until 2025 for a Special Investigation Agency to reopen the case, naming four terrorists. Two are dead, one is absconding, and one is imprisoned: Yasin Malik, who was once pampered as a Damaad by New Delhi, invited to the high table as one of the esteemed "stakeholders in the Kashmir peace talks." Yesterday, chargesheet was filed in this case.
Sarla’s case is not isolated. Thousands of women faced similar brutality in Kashmir during the late 1980s and 1990s, leaving behind stories that have been completely erased from the records today.
