The departure of Assam Congress leaders Bhupen Borah and now Pradyut Bordoloi, which has added to the challenges of the Congress ahead of the state election, has sparked an internal debate in the state unit on why the party's senior leaders could not prevent it. While many question the role of the state party chief, others question how such an event could transpire under the watch of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Sources close to her have pointed out that the senior leader has been serving as the Chairperson of the Screening Committee and her role has been limited to the selection of candidates.  Bordoloi, often called Shashi Tharoor of the northeast for his erudition, resigned from his Lok Sabha seat yesterday and is now set to contest the assembly elections on a BJP ticket. He is the last in a long line of leaders from Assam Congress who have made a beeline for the BJP since Himanta Biswa Sarma changed camp.  Though Bordoloi has said his decision was the result of a slow estrang...

US Intelligence Chief Tulsi Gabbard, presenting the intelligence community's 2026 Annual Threat Assessment, said that Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and Pakistan are the most significant nuclear threats to the United States.  While testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, Gabbard said, "The intelligence community assesses that Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan have been researching and developing an array of novel, advanced, or traditional missile delivery systems, with nuclear and conventional payloads, that put our homeland within range." Gabbard said that China and Russia are developing advanced delivery systems that are capable of penetrating or bypassing US missile defences.  "North Korea's ICBMs can already reach US soil, and it is committed to expanding its nuclear arsenal," she added. The intel chief highlighted that North Korea is deepening its ties with Russia and China, a shifting alignment she suggested...

India's T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav has revealed that he personally apologised to New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell after he was hit by an Arshdeep Singh throw during the recent World Cup final as he wanted to set an example of good leadership. Arshdeep was fined 15 per cent of his match fee and handed a demerit point by the ICC for throwing the ball that hit Mitchell on his pads. The pacer did not immediately apologise which prompted Mitchell to confront him, leading to an intervention by Suryakumar and the on-field umpires. Arshdeep eventually issued a public apology and the two players shook hands at the end of the match that India won by 96 runs to retain the trophy. Asked about the aggression on display in that moment during a podcast interview with PTI Videos, Suryakumar made light of the incident. "Heat of the moment mein kabhi kabhi ho jaata hai (It happens in the heat of the moment sometimes). At that time you don't fully understand what is happening. But late...

If you have been thinking about adding an electric cooktop to your kitchen, you have probably already run into the induction versus infrared question. Both sit behind a flat glass surface, both run on electricity, and both look almost identical on a kitchen counter. But they work in completely different ways, and for Indian cooking specifically (everything from a high-heat tadka to a slow-cooked dal, a deep-fry in a kadhai to a Phulka on a tawa), the differences matter a lot more than they would for a kitchen that mostly does pasta and scrambled eggs. Here is a proper breakdown of what each cooktop actually does, how it handles the demands of Indian cooking, and which one makes more sense for your home. How They Work: The Fundamental Difference This is the part most people skip, but it explains everything else. An induction cooktop does not generate heat in the cooktop surface itself. Instead, it uses electromagnetic energy to generate heat directly inside the base of the cookwar...

A private school operator allegedly jumped from the 23rd floor of a residential building with his two-year-old daughter in his arms here on Monday, killing both, police said. Police said Rahul Vijayran (35), from Delhi's Nangloi area, lived in Tower 9 of the residential society, but he jumped from another tower, which makes the case suspicious. According to Vijayran's family members, he had lost his sight in one eye after contracting coronavirus during the COVID-19 pandemic and was distressed due to this. The incident took place at a housing society in Sector 102 around 7.30 am. On Monday morning, while Neetu Dahiya was cooking at home, her husband Vijayran took their daughter Vamika to play in the society park. He later went to the 23rd floor of Tower 5 and allegedly jumped with his child, police said. Upon hearing commotion, when Neetu went out, she found a man and a girl lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Residents took the two to a private hospital, where doctors d...
