The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has released satellite images of the widespread damages caused by the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar and rattled neighbouring countries on Friday.  Using its most sophisticated Earth imaging satellite, the Cartosat-3, which can help with images at a resolution of less than 50 centimetres, the ISRO has managed to capture photos from a 500 kilometre altitude above the earth. The images show how a huge bridge over the Irrawaddy River collapsed. The damages to the Mandalay University and collapse of the Ananda Pagoda are also highlighted. According to the space agency, Cartosat-3, which was launched in 2019, is a third generation agile advanced earth imaging satellite. ISRO rarely releases images from this highly sophisticated satellite. The National Remote Sensing Centre, a part of ISRO, said the post-disaster Cartosat-3 imagery was acquired on Saturday, over the cities of Mandalay and Sagaing in Myanmar. Additionally, Car...

The Chhattisgarh High Court has said that a woman cannot be forced to undergo a virginity test which violates Article 21 of the Constitution that guarantees her fundamental right to protection of life and liberty, including the right to dignity. The high court said granting permission for a virginity test would be against the fundamental rights, cardinal principles of natural justice and secret modesty of a female, emphasising that Article 21 is the "heart of fundamental rights". The observation by high court judge Justice Arvind Kumar Verma came in response to a criminal petition filed by a man who demanded his wife's virginity test alleging she was in an illicit relationship with another man, challenging a family court's order dated October 15, 2024, which rejected the interim application. The wife had alleged that her husband was impotent and refused to cohabit. The HC said if the petitioner wants to prove that the allegations of impotency are baseless, he can ...

A woman who gave birth to quadruplets was in shock due to her babies being premature and having low birth weight. She was brought to Hyderabad's Niloufer Hospital, where she and her babies spent a month in the intensive care unit before they found a happy ending. Reports say the treatment would have cost upwards of Rs 1 crore in any private hospital. Amrutha, 24, rushed to the hospital on February 22 with complaints of premature labour pain in the seventh month of her pregnancy. She was taken in for caesarean delivery on the same day. She gave birth to four babies - two boys and two girls. All four of them being very premature and low birth weight required ventilator support immediately after birth, the hospital said.

Yograj Singh, father of legendary India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh , is never one to shy away from a bold statement. In particular, Yograj has often commented about MS Dhoni and how Yuvraj's India career was hampered due to Dhoni's captaincy. Earlier, Yograj had stated that he would "never forgive" Dhoni for shortening his son's career at the highest level. Now, however, Yograj has come out with a contrasting statement, stating that he has never differentiated between Yuvraj and other Indian cricketers, not even Dhoni. Yograj's love for his son Yuvraj and the will to see him become a cricket great is well-documented. However, Yograj's latest statements differ from the emotion he has held towards Dhoni in earlier interviews. "I've never differentiated between Yuvraj and the others (in the Indian team), not even Dhoni," Yuvraj said, speaking on the 'Find a Way with Taruwar Kohli ' podcast. Yograj had earlier slammed MS Dhoni for cutti...

An inquiry was ordered after a pregnant woman in Madhya Pradesh's Ratlam district was allegedly turned away twice from a health centre and her newborn died after she delivered hours later while being rushed to the facility on a hand-cart by her husband. The incident took place in Sailana town in the intervening night of March 23 and 24, officials said on Friday.

The number of children living in poverty in the UK reached a new record, according to data published Thursday, as the government faces a storm of criticism over plans to cut welfare payments. Almost 4.5 million children were living in low-income households in the year ending March 2024, according to the Department of Work and Pensions -- the highest number since records began in 2002-2003. The figure rose from a previous record of 4.33 million in March 2023 to 4.45 million last year. A household is considered to be in relative poverty if it lies below 60 percent of the median income, or below 337 pounds ($435) per week. The record figures come after Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government announced cuts to disability welfare payments among other spending cuts. According to the government's own estimates, changes to the welfare system risk plunging 50,000 more children into poverty in the next five years. Meanwhile, 21 percent of the population, or 14.25 million people, w...

The US health department will reduce its workforce by around 10,000 full-time employees as part of a broader cost-cutting overhaul of the federal government, according to an official statement released Thursday.  Including early retirements and so-called "deferred resignations," the total downsizing will shrink the department from 82,000 to 62,000 employees. "We aren't just reducing bureaucratic sprawl," said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. "We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic."

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra was full of praise for Shreyas Iyer 's innings of unbeaten 97 off 42 balls in Punjab Kings' 11-run victory over Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2025 opener at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Chopra highlighted Iyer's ability to dominate the middle overs, particularly against spin, calling him India's best batter in that phase of the game. “It was just clean, crisp hitting—especially against spin. I believe he is the best Indian batter in the middle overs when it comes to taking down spinners. While most batters rely on stepping out to generate momentum before hitting over the top, Shreyas doesn't need to. This makes it incredibly difficult for bowlers to predict his next move," Chopra said on JioHotstar. Iyer's dominance was on full display as he expertly tackled Gujarat Titans' bowling attack, particularly against their spin duo of Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore . He dismantled Sai Kishore with two more boundaries immediately...

US President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs on auto imports Wednesday, in a move set to fuel tensions with trading partners ahead of further promised levies next week. "What we're going to be doing is a 25 percent tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States. If they're made in the United States, it is absolutely no tariff," he said at the White House. The move is set to take effect April 2 and impact foreign-made cars and light trucks, in addition to existing tariffs on those goods. Since returning to the presidency in January, Trump has already imposed tariffs on imports from major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China -- as well as a 25 percent duty on steel and aluminum imports. But he previously offered automakers temporary reprieve from the levies affecting North America. Uncertainty over Trump's trade plans and worries they could trigger a downturn have roiled financial markets, with consumer confidence also falling in recent ...

The grieving family of a medical aspirant who was found hanging in his hostel room here has appealed to the Rajasthan government to address the issue of student suicides in the coaching hub which has reported nine such deaths since January. "It is a slap on the state government's face that we leave our children in Kota to study but take back their bodies," said the 17-year-old NEET aspirant's uncle Rajiv Yadav, who spoke to reporters outside a mortuary. Harshraj Shankar, a native of Bihar's Nalanda district, was found hanging from an iron rod inside his hostel room in Jawahar Nagar on Tuesday, the police said. The body was discovered by the police who were called by the hostel caretaker after Shankar did not respond to repeated knocking on the door. No suicide note was recovered from the spot. However, according to the caretaker, "Sorry" was found written on the book shelf rack. The boy had been preparing for the medical entrance exam in a coaching ...

Russia said on Tuesday the US had agreed to help it lift restrictions on food, fertiliser and shipping companies in exchange for agreeing to a maritime security deal in the Black Sea. The United States further said it had also agreed with Russia and Ukraine to implement a ban on military strikes on each other's energy installations. If implemented, the deals would represent the clearest progress yet towards a wider ceasefire that Washington sees as a stepping stone towards peace talks to bring an end to Russia's three-year-old war in Ukraine. What Russia Gets The United States said it "will help restore Russia's access to the world market for agricultural and fertiliser exports, lower maritime insurance costs, and enhance access to ports and payment systems for such transactions". Russia said it had agreed with Washington "to ensure the implementation of the Black Sea Initiative, which includes ensuring the safety of navigation in the Black Sea, the non-...

The streets of Bengaluru were covered in a mysterious thick, snow-like white foam after a heavy rainfall on Saturday. While the rains brought relief from the scorching heat, the foam, seen in the NIMHANS Dairy Circle area, was a bizarre occurrence. The unusual sight was captured by an Instagram user Milan, who posted it to the social media platform with the caption: "Does anyone know what's happening?

A US journalist was inadvertently included in a group chat in which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance and other top American officials discussed upcoming strikes against Yemen's Huthi rebels, the White House confirmed Monday. President Donald Trump announced the strikes on March 15, but in a shocking security breach, The Atlantic magazine's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg wrote that he had hours of advance notice via the group chat on Signal. "The message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain," National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said. The White House said Trump "continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team," after the US president earlier said he did not "know anything about" the issue. The leak could have been highly damaging if Goldberg had publicized details of the plan in advance, but he did not do ...

They then drove him to a secluded spot where they slit his throat with a knife before fleeing. Police also attrib...

BJP Tamil Nadu president K Annamalai on Sunday claimed Hindi was the 'compulsory' third language during the Congress-led UPA regime and asserted it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who gave the option of studying any Indian language as a third language. Further, referring to the New Education Policy (NEP 20202), Mr Annamalai said Modi has also made "Tamil the compulsory medium of instruction from classes 1-5," apparently in the context of Tamil Nadu. Despite ruling Tamil Nadu for many years, the DMK never made Tamil medium of instruction compulsory, he claimed. Countries like China, Germany and Japan have become 'important' since they impart education to children in their mother tongue, he said addressing a public meeting here. In the first two education policies, Hindi was the compulsory third language and so was the case in the draft NEP 2020, he said. However, in May 2019, "for the first time in the country, Modi changed the third language from Hi...

In a video, Ms Konanki's father Subbarayudu can be seen fighting back tears as he says that authorities "on both sides", presumably from the US and the Dominican Republic, have told them that the waves were very high at the time of the incident and that the person of interest in the case, 22-year-old Joshua Riibe, was not a suspect.  With his wife, Sreedevi, sobbing beside him, Mr Konanki says, "Both sides of the authorities have shown us how high the ocean waves were at the time of the incident and both sides of the authorities have clarified that the person of interest was not a suspect from the beginning." Wiping away a tear from his eye, he continues speaking but gets only as far as "It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart..."...

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is likely to ponder over a new bonus points system during its board meeting in April which could give more weightage to bigger victories, especially overseas, during the next World Test Championship cycle. The 2025-27 WTC cycle will begin with India's five-match away Test series against England in June. As per the prevailing rules, the team winning by the smallest margin or by an innings gets 12 points, six points for a tie and four points for a draw. But this could see a change as the global governing body, as per a report in Telegraph, is considering awarding bonus points for innings victories or for a win above a certain big margin such as 100 runs. "In fact, issues such as giving bonus points for innings wins etc has been in continuous discussion from the beginning of the WTC, as many teams felt that due weight is not getting for wins against big teams," a source close to the development told PTI. "So, such topics have be...

US President Donald Trump signed an order Thursday aimed at "eliminating" the Department of Education, a decades-old goal of the American right, which wants individual states to run schools free from the federal government. Surrounded by schoolchildren sitting at desks set up in the East Room of the White House, Trump smiled as held up the order after signing it at a special ceremony. Trump said the order would "begin eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all." "We're going to shut it down and shut it down as quickly as possible. It's doing us no good," Trump said. "We're going to return education back to the states where it belongs." The Education Department, created in 1979, cannot be shuttered without the approval of Congress -- but Trump's order will likely have the power to starve it of funds and staff. The move honors one of Trump's campaign promises and is among the most drastic steps yet in ...

It was a turbulent IPL 2024 season for Hardik Pandya after he replaced Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians captain. The decision was not accepted by a part of the fanbase and following a number of disappointing results, the all-rounder was booed by a section of the crowd at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. However, Hardik bounced back from the poor IPL show to play a big role in guiding the Indian cricket team to the T20 World Cup 2024 as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Former Indian cricket team star Mohammad Kaif feels that Hardik Pandya was 'mentally tortured' during the 2024 season and said that he deserves a 'biopic' on how fought against the odds to mount a comeback. "He kept that pain to himself and went forward, and that has been Hardik Pandya's comeback story. It was a bad journey. Fans booed him, and people wrote him off.

Mr Tharoor had criticised India's stance when Russia attacked Ukraine and called for condemnation of the aggression. During an interactive session at the Raisina Dialogue here, the former minister of state for external affairs said, "I am still wiping the egg of my face because I am one person in the parliamentary debate who actually criticised the Indian position at the time back in February 2022." The Thiruvananthapuram MP said his criticism was based on the "well-known grounds that there was a violation of the UN charter, there had been a violation of the principle of inviolability of borders, of the sovereignty of a member state namely Ukraine, and we had always stood ...

As the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to announce its schedule parallel to the Indian Premier League (IPL), some clashes were bound to erupt. With players made to decide between the two franchise leagues, IPL was bound to be preferred because of multiple reasons -- ranging from better remuneration to exposure. South Africa's Corbin Bosch ditched his Pakistan Super League contract as 5-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians came calling for his services, as a replacement for the injured Lizaad Williams. But, those in the Pakistan cricketing spectrum are understandably not happy. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a legal notice to Bosch for breaching his contractual obligations with the board. Bosch, who incidentally made his debut for South Africa against Pakistan in the series earlier this year, was picked by Peshawar Zalmi in the Diamond category during the tenth edition of Pakistan Super League Players Draft, held in Lahore on January 13. Earlier this month Mumbai ...
