Former Armyman Rajbir Singh arrested in West Bengal’s Hasimara by Punjab cops for ‘leaking military information’ to Pakistan’s ISI.
Legacy media won't run this news during prime time.
They should pay from their salary.
Dehradun-bound flight operated by Trans Bharat Aviation Pvt Ltd (call sign VT-HCX), departed from the Badrinath helipad at approximately 1:14 PM amidst snowfall. It was flying over the Joshimath valley on its way to the Sahastradhara heliport when the tracking system lost contact near the Hathi Parvat (Hathi Pahad) area.
The snow was falling heavily over Badrinath at that time.
The decision to take off into an active snowstorm proved fatal. Within minutes of departure, the blinding snowfall completely destroyed the pilot's visibility, trapping the helicopter in whiteout conditions.
The helicopter lost radio contact near Hathi Parvat and crashed into the steep hillsides near Chai village, killing all six men instantly -
• Capt Himanshu (Pilot)
• Prathapa
• Arun
• Shankar Gowda
• Sudheer K
• HS Natraja
On Thursday evening, 29 October 2026, a glacial lake outburst flood struck Shintaphu Lake in Gasa district, at the source of the Mo Chhu River in Bhutan.
The surge completely destroyed facilities at the popular Gasa Tshachu hot springs.
Early evacuations prevented casualties in Bhutan.
Floodwaters then moved down the Punatsangchhu basin (known as the Sankosh River in India), prompting urgent flash-flood and evacuation warnings in West Bengal’s Darjeeling, Alipurduar and Jalpaiguri districts, and in Assam.
Opposition
48 seats
Arab
19 seats
Netanyahu-led
53 seats
Arab is all set to provide external support to Opposition.
Replying to @kachatterjee
The opposition most probably would have to align with Netanyahu as they had vowed before polls not to align with Arab parties and if they do they wld come under tremendous pressure..Netanyahu would surely take advantage of this and align with them and form govt..NYT news..sigh.
Box Office Reality Check: AI’s First Big-Screen Flop
China’s first fully AI-generated theatrical film, Sanxingdui: Future Past, bombed hard. Released on over 10,000 screens in late October 2026 after two years and a $1.5 million budget, it earned just $181,000 in its opening days, under $20 per screen.
Why it failed?
Uncanny valley problems: stiff AI actors, unnatural voices, and visual glitches that shattered immersion.
Audiences refused to pay theater prices for content they see as free short-form social media material.
Missing human spark: no emotional depth or real performance to connect with.
What it means ?
AI isn’t dead in film, it just won’t replace humans as the director. Expect it as a behind-the-scenes tool for VFX, pre-vis, and cleanup, not full movies. Pure AI films will stay on YouTube and TikTok. Theaters still want human storytelling.
97.2% counted so far.
Opposition bloc is at 37.7%, which means they could be at 45-46 seats.
Unaligned parties at 17.6% , they might end up with 17-18 seats.
If they come together, they can form the Govt.
Netanyahu-led bloc is at 43.7% and can end up with 53-54 seats.

Rayo Vallecano fans, primarily members of the Bukaneros ultra group, stopped to help victims of a serious train accident near Urda in the province of Toledo.
The supporters were returning to Madrid by train after watching Rayo Vallecano defeat Recreativo de Huelva 3–2 in a Copa del Rey match. When their train halted near the crash site, the fans got off, called emergency services, assisted with the rescue, and helped transport injured individuals to a local sports hall in Urda.
When the catastrophic collision between a Renfe train and an Iryo train occurred near Urda in Toledo, killing dozens and halting the surrounding rail network, the group of roughly 50 to 60 Bukaneros did not hesitate.
While initial assessments placed them closer, local emergency reports clarified that the fans actually walked roughly seven kilometers on foot along the tracks to reach the epicenter of the crash site and offer immediate aid.
Local Civil Protection authorities highly praised the group's effectiveness, noting that several of the Rayo fans were off-duty professional firefighters. Their training proved invaluable in coordinating early triage, managing chaos, and safely evacuating severely trapped or injured passengers from the shredded train carriages.
The fans directly assisted emergency services in transporting victims to the municipal sports hall in Urda, which local officials had hastily converted into a field triage hospital to treat those with minor injuries.
True to the club's grassroots ethos, after hours of grueling rescue work alongside the Military Emergency Unit (UME) and local responders, the fans quietly left the scene around 3:00 PM to finish their journey to Madrid, politely declining to give media interviews or statements about their actions.
Rayo Vallecano issued an official statement expressing immense "pride and gratitude" for the extraordinary human character shown by their traveling supporters.

The Tragic Eclipse of a Champion: The Allegations, Defense, and Systemic Failures that Defined Neeraj Yadav’s Final Years
The sudden passing of three-time Asian Para Games gold medallist Neeraj Yadav at age 42 has turned a harsh spotlight on his devastating late-2023 anti-doping ban. Once a national hero who overcame childhood paralysis, Yadav’s final years were defined by a grueling battle against sports bureaucracy.
1. The Allegation
In October 2023, just six days before flying out to the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, China, India’s National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) conducted a surprise test. Yadav's sample tested positive for stanozolol, an anabolic steroid. The resulting four-year ban stripped him of his medals, erased his records, and instantly froze his livelihood.
2. The Defense: Chaotic Testing & DNA Demands
Yadav adamantly maintained his innocence, pointing to multiple clean tests from the weeks prior. His defense exposed major procedural flaws:
• The "Crowded Room": Yadav revealed that seven para-athletes had their samples collected simultaneously in a single, cramped room at the Bengaluru training center.
• The Mismatch Claim: His legal team argued this chaotic environment led to a sample mix-up or cross-contamination.
• The DNA Fight: To prove the sample wasn't his, Yadav aggressively petitioned for and won the right to a DNA test of the urine sample in June 2024.
3. Why Critics Argue He Was Mistreated
Sports advocates point to severe institutional apathy toward para-athletes:
• Gross Negligence: Conducting sensitive doping tests in an overcrowded room violates basic international chain-of-custody protocols.
• Financial Ruin: Able-bodied sports stars often have the financial backing to weather long appeals.
For Yadav, the ban was an immediate economic death sentence, stripping him of all government cash awards and sports-quota employment needed to support his young family.
Mainstream athletes enjoy world-class testing infrastructure, while para-athletes are routinely subjected to compromised, under-resourced conditions, like the single-room testing chaos that derailed Yadav's career.
According to his coaches, the final blow came earlier in October 2026, when he was officially barred from the upcoming selection trials for Japan's Asian Para Games. The realization that his window for athletic redemption had closed left an insurmountable emotional toll.
How SC played a role in regime change in Bengal
#BREAKING: Justice Joymalya Bagchi: We HAVE NOT ADJUDICATED upon the legality of Logical Discrepancy list. We only allowed it as an interim measure in Bengal case. Remember it was not adjudicated upon in the Bihar SIR case. #SupremeCourt #SIR
Well well
#BREAKING Supreme Court has not upheld "Logical Discrepancy" category; in Bengal SIR, it was permitted only as an interim arrangement; Bihar SIR did not have LD category ,so it was not adjudicated, says Justice Joymalya Bagchi.

Two 'encounters' in 12 hrs: A rape accused in Gaighata, a murder accused in Dhulian. Both allegedly snatched service guns forcing officers to retaliate for 'self defence'. But a total 3 encounters in 4 months after BJP came to power leaves many questions.
