Opposition afraid for its netas... we have seen files being signed from jail: PM Modi | India News

PATNA: In his first remarks on the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill proposing removal of PM, CMs and minister if they are jailed on serious charges, PM Narendra Modi said opposition parties, such as RJD and Congress, were against it as many of their politicians were either in jail or out on bail. “They fear if they go to jail, all their dreams will be shattered,” he said.“If a government employee is imprisoned for 50 hours, then he loses his job automatically, be it a driver, a clerk or a peon. But a CM, a minister, or even a PM, can enjoy staying in govt even from jail… Some time ago, we saw how files were being signed from jail and govt orders were given from jail,” Modi said at a rally in Magadh University, Bodh Gaya.”If leaders have such an attitude, how can we fight corruption? Some of these RJD and Congress members are out on bail, while some are entangled in court cases related to scams. And those roaming free on bail are opposing this law today. They fear that if they go to jail, all their dreams will be shattered,” PM Narendra Modi said at a public rally at Magadh University in Bodh Gaya. Once the bill becomes law, Modi said, any PM, CM, or minister who is arrested will be required to secure bail within 30 days.After inaugurating projects worth over a cumulative Rs 13,000 crore, Modi said RJD politicians always indulged in corrupt practices. “Our Rajendra Babu or Babasaheb Ambedkar could never have imagined that power-hungry people would engage in corruption and cling to their positions even after being sent to jail. But now the corrupt will go to jail and they will lose their positions. The resolve to free India from corruption is shared by millions across the country,” Modi added.He also raised concerns over rapidly changing demographic profiles of Bihar’s border districts, saying a demography mission, announced on Aug 15, would begin operations very soon.The PM said his govt had decided not to let infiltrators decide the future of the nation and they would not be allowed to snatch employment opportunities from Bihar’s youth. He urged the people of Bihar to remain vigilant against those within the country who support infiltrators.Referring to the Pahalgam attack, Modi recalled that it was from the land of Bihar that he had vowed to eliminate terrorism. “Today, the world is witnessing the fulfilment of that resolve taken on Bihar’s soil,” he said. “Bihar is the land of Chandragupta Maurya and Chanakya. Whenever India has faced challenges from its enemies, Bihar has stood as a shield for the nation.”Bihar CM Nitish Kumar lauded Modi for extending assistance to Bihar. “Previous state govts did not do any work in Bihar. When NDA govt came on Nov 24, 2005, development work began,” he said.

Fantasy Football 2025: Commanders RB race intensifies with Austin Ekeler and Croskey-Merritt post-Brian Robinson trade | NFL News

The 2025 NFL season is around the corner, and fantasy football managers are already recalibrating their draft boards. Washington’s decision to trade running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the San Francisco 49ers has opened a significant gap in the Commanders’ backfield, creating fresh intrigue and risk for fantasy players.

Austin greeting emerges as Commanders’ lead back after Brian Robinson trade

Austin Ekeler, entering his 30s, is the immediate beneficiary. A proven pass-catching back, Ekeler remains dangerous in space but is unlikely to shoulder a heavy workload at this stage of his career. Last season, he logged 733 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns in 12 games. He projects as a reliable flex option in PPR leagues, though Washington will be cautious with his snaps to keep him fresh across a long campaign. Fantasy managers can expect Ekeler to deliver consistent production in short-yardage and passing situations, making him a key piece in the Commanders’ offense.

Croskey-Merritt could be Washington’s 2025 Fantasy breakout

The real buzz belongs to rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who has asked teammates to call him “Bill.” A seventh-round pick, Croskey-Merritt has quickly become a preseason talking point after producing 72 rushing yards and a touchdown across two games. His limited college resume tempers expectations, but Washington’s decision to move on from Robinson suggests confidence in his potential. For fantasy managers, he represents a high-upside mid- to late-round pick, one who could seize the starting role if Ekeler is restricted to situational duties.

Who fills the gap behind Ekeler and Croskey-Merritt?

Beyond Ekeler and Croskey-Merritt, options are unconvincing. Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. will likely battle for rotational snaps, while Demetric Felton and Kazmeir Allen appear headed for practice squad roles. Neither group offers tangible fantasy value unless injuries create openings.Also Read: Cleveland Browns’ Dillon Gabriel eyes NFL breakthrough while fiancée Zo Caswell begins wedding dress huntThe Commanders’ backfield now revolves around two names. Ekeler provides stability and proven production, making him a safe selection for fantasy rosters. Croskey-Merritt is the wildcard — raw but explosive, and capable of becoming one of 2025’s breakout sleepers. Washington’s preseason usage patterns will be critical in determining how snaps are distributed, but for now, fantasy managers must weigh experience against potential. With Jayden Daniels at quarterback and Deebo Samuel joining Terry McLaurin at receiver, Washington’s offense looks primed for growth.

Authorities said some of the entrapped individuals may still be alive.The bus was carrying 52 people, including the driver, as per the passenger list shared by the tour operator. Translators have been called in to assist with communication, as many of the injured are non-English speakers, primarily from Indian, Chinese, and Filipino backgrounds, as quoted by the portal. The crash has shut down both directions of the New York State Thruway (I-90) near the site. Emergency response units, including helicopters and ambulances, are at the scene. Victims are being transported to Strong Memorial hospital in Rochester for treatment.New York governor Kathy Hochul described the incident as “tragic” and stated that “first responders are working to rescue and provide assistance to everyone involved.”The state’s department of transportation is also working to assist stranded motorists, with traffic disruptions continuing in the area.

National Conference spokesperson causes stir with photo 'diktat' | India News

SRINAGAR: A National Conference spokesperson caused a stir Friday after asking media houses to use her social media profile picture for quotes and interviews. Ifra Jan also warned of legal action if her “direction” was not followed.Ifra, who belongs to Jammu & Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah’s party, said a media house used a distorted picture of her while reporting a news story.“I request the media houses to use this photo while doing my stories, not distorted pictures of when I am in the middle of an interview. If the direction is not followed, I will proceed against the said channels legally,” Ifra said.As she faced flak over her ‘diktat’, she posted on social media, “Politics is a difficult field for women and I knew this when I joined. But I hadn’t imagined to what extent people can fall to pull you down. One thing I have faced over the months are distorted pictures of me being used while reporting news. Is it ethical?”She also alleged it was a tactic employed by rightwing websites across India to use “expressive images” of their opponents to undermine their credibility.“This is why I was forced to step in and say that if you can’t find a picture of me, use my profile picture. Unfortunately, it should have never come to it, but how else does one deal with a complete lack of ethics in media houses,” she added.

'Too harsh': Supreme Court modifies order on Delhi stray dogs - top quotes | India News

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday reversed the August 11 order on the relocation of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR, saying that the animals that are not rabid or aggressive will not be shifted to shelters but instead sterilised, immunised, and released back to their original locations.The court said that the “direction given in the order dated 11th August, 2025, prohibiting the release of the treated and vaccinated dogs seems to be too harsh.” It referenced Rule 11(9) of the ABC Rules, which mandates that once stray dogs have been sterilised, inoculated, and dewormed, they must be released back into the same locality from which they were picked up. A three-judge bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath, Justice Sandeep Mehta, and Justice NV Anjaria clarified that stray dogs must be released to their original areas after sterilisation, deworming, and immunisation, except for those infected with rabies, suspected of rabies infection, or exhibiting aggressive behaviour.Here are top quotes:

• “The provision in Rule 11(19) that the dogs, upon sterilisation and immunisation, should be relocated to the same locality from which they have been picked up, is scientifically carved out inasmuch as it serves two purposes. Firstly, the same prevents the scope of overcrowding in the dog shelters/pounds, and secondly, the picked-up stray dogs after immunisation and sterilisation are relocated to the same environment where they were living earlier, which is a compassionate treatment,” the court said.
• “The aggressive sterilisation would definitely put a curb on the rapid growth of the stray dog population, ultimately leading to its reduction. However, this is possible only in an idealistic situation, which seems unlikely in the present scenario,” the court said.
• The court said, “It was argued by some of the counsels appearing for the animal lovers that the process of sterilisation and inoculation has worked wonders in many towns across the country and has significantly brought down the population of stray dogs. To be specific, it was pointed out that towns like Dehradun and Lucknow, which have taken aggressive measures for sterilisation, etc., as per the ABC Rules, have seen a steady decline in the population of stray dogs. A suggestion has also been received that chemical castration is a safe, painless, and effective mode of sterilisation.”
• “A blanket direction to pick up all the strays and place them in dog shelters/pounds without evaluating the existing infrastructure may lead to a catch-22 situation because such directions may be impossible to comply with. We, therefore, feel that a holistic approach requires mollification of the directions issued vide order dated 11th August, 2025,” the court said.

The court also ordered a ban on public feeding of stray dogs and directed the establishment of dedicated feeding spaces. The Bench reiterated the August 11 order that no individual or organisation should obstruct municipal authorities from picking up dogs in accordance with the ABC Rules.The scope of the matter was extended beyond Delhi-NCR to a pan-India level, involving all States and Union Territories, Secretaries of Animal Husbandry departments, Secretaries of local bodies, and Municipal corporations for compliance with ABC Rules. The court also stated that it would transfer similar petitions pending in high courts to itself to formulate a national policy on the issue.The Supreme Court has supplemented and modified earlier directions on stray dog management, laying down fresh guidelines for municipal bodies:

• Municipal authorities must continue complying with previous directions, but the bar on releasing picked-up strays has been kept in abeyance. Stray dogs are to be sterilised, dewormed, vaccinated, and then released in the same area, except in cases of rabies or aggressive behaviour. Such dogs must be kept in shelters after treatment.
• Each municipal ward must establish designated feeding zones for stray dogs. Feeding on streets is prohibited, with violators facing legal action. Helplines are to be set up for reporting violations.
• No individual or organisation may obstruct officials implementing these directions; obstruction will invite prosecution.
• NGOs involved in the case must deposit Rs 2 lakh each, while individual dog lovers must deposit Rs 25,000 each, within seven days. These funds will be used for stray-dog infrastructure.
• Citizens may formally adopt stray dogs through municipal bodies, ensuring adopted dogs do not return to the streets.
• Municipalities must file compliance affidavits, detailing available facilities such as dog pounds, vets, capture staff, and vehicles.

7 early symptoms of cancer that often get dismissed as minor illnesses |

Cancer remains a leading global cause of death, often due to late diagnosis. Recognizing early symptoms is crucial for improved treatment outcomes. Unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, unusual lumps, chronic pain, skin changes, unusual bleeding, and frequent infections can be early warning signs. Prompt medical attention for these symptoms is essential for early detection and better prognosis.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. In 2018, cancer caused 9.6 million deaths according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This is 1 in 6 deaths globally. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach, and liver cancer are the most common types of cancer in men. In women, breast, colorectal, lung, cervical, and thyroid cancers are commonly found. What makes it one of the leading causes of death worldwide is late diagnosis. Recognizing the symptoms of cancer is crucial for better treatment options and outcomes. Here are some of the most common and early symptoms of cancer that are often dismissed as minor health issues. Take a look. Unexplained weight loss

Losing weight without even trying is a red flag. If you notice weight loss without any changes in diet or exercise, it is a cause for concern. Cancer cells can alter metabolism, leading to weight loss. Many cancers, such as the pancreas, stomach, esophagus, or lung, could cause this symptom. If you are losing 3-5 kg without any explanation, talk to your doctor right away.Fatigue

Do you feel tired all the time? If the fatigue exists even after proper rest, it should not be dismissed. Feeling unusually tired, despite a good night’s sleep, or other health issues, could be a sign of cancer, including leukemia, colon, or stomach cancer. If the fatigue persists and doesn’t improve with sleep, consult a doctor and find out the root cause. Unusual lumps or swellingAnother crucial sign is the presence of unusual lumps. Thickened areas in the breast, testicles, or elsewhere could be a warning sign of cancer. If you notice an unusual lump popping up, it is important to talk to your doctor and get it screened.Chronic pain

Ongoing pain without an explanation is a red flag. It could be a sign of bone, brain, or other cancers. If the pain lingers longer and does not respond to medications, it’s time to get it checked. For instance, abdominal pain is a crucial sign of colon cancer. This is why chronic pain should not be dismissed. Changes in skin

Changes on your skin, such as new molessores that don’t heal, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin), can be warning signs. Melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, often shows up as moles that are asymmetric and with irregular borders. If you notice any such new moles or any changes that cannot be explained, book your appointment with a dermatologist, and get to its bottom. Unusual bleedingWhether it’s blood in the stool, urine, or during coughing, you should consult a doctor. This unexplained bleeding could be a warning sign of cancer. For instance, colon cancer may present as rectal bleedingwhich leads to blood in the stool. Early diagnosis can reduce your risk of adverse events. Any abnormal bleeding requires immediate medical attention.

Frequent infections or feverDo you fall sick very often? Well, frequent infections or fever could be a sign of cancer. This could happen because your immune system is compromised. Persistent fever without an explanation, or getting sick very often should be investigated.
