Jaishankar's security lapse in London angers India, sparks diplomatic tension with UK


<p>A security lapse during External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s visit to London has prompted a strong response from the Indian government. On Thursday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) strongly condemned the incident, terming it a provocative act by Khalistani supporters and extremists. The incident occurred as Jaishankar was walking towards his car after an event at Chatham House. A Khalistani supporter attempted to breach the security cordon and approach his car, while also disrespecting the Indian flag. This event has heightened diplomatic tensions between India and the UK.</p>



<p>MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal in a press conference, stated, “We have seen the footage of the security lapse during the External Affairs Minister’s visit to the UK. We strongly condemn the provocative actions of this small group of extremists and separatists.” </p>



<p>He further added, “Such elements are misusing democratic freedoms, which is unacceptable.” Jaiswal urged the British government to fully discharge its diplomatic responsibilities in this matter and expressed hope for stricter action against such incidents in the future.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What happened in London?</h2>



<p>Viral videos on social media clearly show a group of Khalistani supporters gathered outside Chatham House, shouting slogans against India and the External Affairs Minister. Jaishankar was participating in a discussion inside the building at the time. As he moved towards his car after the event concluded, an individual, carrying an Indian flag, breached the barricades. He attempted to damage the flag, after which the police present at the scene apprehended him. The police subsequently pushed the protestors to the other side of the road. However, the desecration of the Indian flag sparked outrage in India.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jaishankar on UK and Ireland visit until March 9</h2>



<p>External Affairs Minister Jaishankar is on a six-day visit to the UK and Ireland from 4 to 9 March. During this visit, he met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, discussing several global issues, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This visit is considered crucial for strengthening the strategic partnership between India and the UK. However, the actions of the Khalistani supporters created an unpleasant situation during the visit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India&#8217;s strong stance</h2>



<p>The Ministry of External Affairs has taken a serious view of this incident, considering it not only a security lapse but also an attack on national honour. Jaiswal said, “We expect the British government to ensure the safety of Indian diplomats within its territory.”</p>



<p>This is not the first time Khalistani elements abroad have targeted Indian interests. Similar incidents have occurred in countries like Canada and Australia, which India has strongly protested. This incident has once again sparked debate about the security of Indian officials abroad and the growing influence of Khalistani extremism. India has made it clear that it will not compromise on its honour and the safety of its citizens.</p>

Rajasthan Women&#39;s Day Offer: Free Bus Rides for Women, But There&#39;s a Catch!


<p><strong>International Women&#8217;s Day:</strong> International Women&#8217;s Day will be celebrated on 8 March. On the occasion of International Women&#8217;s Day, Saturday, 8 March, women and girls in the state will be able to travel free of charge on Rajasthan Roadways buses. Orders to this effect were issued on Wednesday following instructions from Roadways Chairperson Shubhra Singh.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Tickets on 8 March for Ordinary and Express Buses</h2>



<p>Women in Rajasthan should remain alert while travelling by Roadways on International Women&#8217;s Day. You may have to pay the fare after a certain distance. Here&#8217;s the situation: Rajasthan Roadways MD Purushottam Sharma stated that on the occasion of International Women&#8217;s Day, on 8 March, all women and girls travelling within the state&#8217;s borders on all Rajasthan Roadways ordinary and express buses (excluding air-conditioned and Volvo buses) will be provided free travel for one day (from 00:00 to 23:59).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here&#8217;s the Catch</h2>



<p>Now, the important point to understand is that &#8216;state borders&#8217; means, for example, if a woman is travelling from Jaipur to Delhi on a Rajasthan Roadways bus, the journey will be free from Jaipur to the last bus stop within Rajasthan. However, as soon as the bus exits Rajasthan, she will have to pay for the ticket from that point to Delhi. Similarly, fares will apply to air-conditioned and Volvo buses.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Facility Available Only Within Rajasthan</h2>



<p>Roadways Executive Director (Traffic) Dr Jyoti Chauhan stated that under this scheme, free travel will be provided to all women and girls in ordinary and express buses (excluding air-conditioned buses) operating within the geographical boundaries of the state of Rajasthan.</p>

IND vs NZ final: India&#39;s shaky ICC record vs New Zealand raises concerns


<p>Champions Trophy 2025 Final, India vs New Zealand: The Indian team will face New Zealand in the final of the Champions Trophy 2025 on 9 March. This match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium. India&#8217;s head-to-head record against New Zealand in ICC events hasn&#8217;t been impressive. </p>



<p>The two teams last met on 2 March, in a Champions Trophy match, for the first time since 2000, where Team India won by 44 runs, evening the score. However, that was a group-stage match, and despite the loss, the Kiwi team progressed to the semi-finals, where they defeated South Africa to secure their place in the final.</p>



<p>Now, on 9 March, India and New Zealand will clash at the Dubai International Stadium. Team India has been undefeated in this tournament so far, while New Zealand has only been defeated by India. However, Team India&#8217;s record in ICC event finals isn&#8217;t strong. The two teams previously met in the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2021, where New Zealand defeated India to win their first ICC event title. Furthermore, this same Kiwi team ended India&#8217;s journey in the semi-finals of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.</p>



<p>India has never beaten New Zealand in the ICC T20 World Cup. The two teams have faced each other three times, with the Kiwi team winning all three matches. In the history of the ICC Cricket World Cup, the two teams have met 11 times, with an almost even record. New Zealand and India have each won 5 matches, and one match ended in a draw.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Team India&#8217;s Biggest Strength</h2>



<p>Team India boasts match-winning batsmen like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, and explosive openers like Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. An all-rounder like Hardik Pandya provides support equivalent to an extra player. In bowling, the world&#8217;s attention is on Varun Chakravarthy, and if this bowler performs as he did in the group stage, nothing can stop India from winning. Furthermore, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel&#8217;s bowling and batting, along with their impressive fielding, significantly aid the bowlers. Team India is close to winning another ICC title; all the players need to give their 100 per cent.</p>

<p><strong>Smartphone addiction symptoms:</strong> Berlin. A study published in the journal <em>Computer in Human Behavior</em> reveals that abstaining from smartphone use for just three days can impact brain chemistry. Limiting smartphone use for 72 hours leads to changes in brain regions associated with feelings of ‘addiction’. </p>



<p>The research involved 25 young adults aged 18-30 who were instructed to use their smartphones only for essential tasks for three days. </p>



<p>During this period, fMRI scans of their brains showed changes in the levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, chemicals linked to addiction and craving, alongside a reduction in phone cravings. Smartphone use was restricted to essential tasks only.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Importance of a Digital Detox: Digital detox benefits</h2>



<p>According to researchers from Heidelberg and Cologne Universities, this experiment demonstrates that excessive smartphone use can negatively impact mental health. Taking short digital breaks, limiting notifications, and scheduling screen-free time can improve brain balance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Impact of a Smartphone Break on the Brain: Get rid of smartphone addiction</h2>



<p>Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans were conducted to understand the brain changes in participants. These scans revealed alterations in brain areas associated with reward and craving – patterns similar to those observed in studies on substance abuse.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brain Chemistry and Addiction: Dopamine and smartphone addiction</h2>



<p>The study found that abstaining from smartphone use altered the levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which regulate mood, emotions, and habits. This effect was observed even in individuals who were considered normal smartphone users.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technology and Mental Health: A New Direction</h2>



<p>This research clearly indicates that excessive smartphone use (Smartphone addiction) can have an addictive effect on the brain. Maintaining a balance in our digital lifestyle is crucial for mental well-being. So, are you ready to go three days without your smartphone?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Son Kills Mother After Being Told to Stop Using Mobile Phone</h2>



<p>Balaghat. In the Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh, a son beat his parents with an iron rod after they told him to stop using his mobile phone. The mother died in the incident, while the father sustained serious injuries. Waraseoni SDOP Abhishek Chaudhary stated that the son attacked his parents, teacher couple Pratibha Katre (40) and Kishor Katre (45), at their Housing Board Colony residence in Sikandra village. According to the police, on Tuesday evening, the son, Satyam (20), was scolded by his parents for playing on his mobile phone. Enraged, he attacked them with an iron rod, leaving them severely injured. The mother died at the scene, while the father was critically injured and admitted to a private hospital in Gondia district of Maharashtra. The accused has been arrested and sent to jail.</p>

</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reasons for the Surge in Gold and Silver Prices</h2>



<p>Experts say that the prices of gold and silver are constantly changing in the global market. Concerns about economic recession in the US and Europe, the strengthening dollar, and increasing investor interest are leading to a rise in gold prices. Meanwhile, domestic demand for gold remains high due to the wedding season, further pushing up prices.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is it the Right Time to Buy Gold?</h2>



<p>According to market experts, gold prices may rise further due to continued volatility in the global market. If you are looking to buy gold for long-term investment, this might be a good time. However, short-term investors are advised to exercise caution.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1423" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Gold-Price-Today.jpg?w=640" alt="lucknow gold silver price today" class="wp-image-19442172" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Gold-Price-Today.jpg 1423w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Gold-Price-Today.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Gold-Price-Today.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Gold-Price-Today.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1423px) 100vw, 1423px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Profitable is Investing in Silver?</h2>



<p>Silver prices also remain at record levels. Increasing industrial use and investment demand have strengthened silver prices. Experts believe that silver prices may rise further in the coming months.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Invest Wisely?</h2>



<ul>
<li>When buying gold, only purchase hallmarked and BIS-certified jewellery.</li>



<li>Compare online and offline gold and silver prices.</li>



<li>Consult experts before making large investments.</li>



<li>In addition to physical jewellery, you can also opt for gold bonds and digital gold investments.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impact of the International Market</h2>



<p>Changes in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the slowdown in the Chinese economy are causing fluctuations in gold and silver prices.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where are these rates available in Lucknow?</h2>



<ul>
<li>These rates apply to the major jewellery markets in Lucknow:</li>



<li>Aminabad Sarafa Bazaar</li>



<li>Chowk Sarafa Market</li>



<li>Hazratganj Gold Market</li>



<li>Alambagh Jewellery Market</li>
</ul>



<p>If you are planning to invest in gold or silver, this time may be suitable. However, given the price fluctuations, it is essential to seek expert advice.</p>

<p><strong>Indian Railways Group C:</strong> The Railway Board has taken a significant decision to cancel all departmental selections under Group ‘C’ category that were not completed by 4th March and whose approvals were pending. Instructions sent to the General Managers of all zones state that this decision to review these selection processes was taken in light of irregularities found in departmental selection processes in recent times. According to the Board, no new selection or examination process will be initiated until further orders.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RRB to Conduct Examinations</h2>



<p>Simultaneously, Indian Railways has decided to entrust the responsibility of departmental promotion examinations to the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB). The RRB has successfully conducted several large-scale examinations, such as for Assistant Loco Pilot, RPF SI, Constable, Junior Engineer, and Clerk positions. Examinations conducted by the RRB are considered transparent and secure; therefore, it was decided to adopt this system for departmental promotions as well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Indian Railways Group C: Senior Railway Officials Arrested</h2>



<p>According to sources, this step has been taken following a recent paper leak incident in the Loco Pilot promotion examination in the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Rail Mandal. In this case, the CBI took action and arrested 26 people, including two senior railway officials. Successful candidates in this examination were to be promoted to the post of Chief Loco Inspector (CLI).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Group C Exam: Approximately 1.3 Million Employees in Railways</h2>



<p>Approximately 1.3 million employees work in Indian Railways, and now their departmental promotion examinations will be conducted under the supervision of the RRB to ensure fairness and transparency.</p>

<p><strong>Jaipur.</strong> The Rajasthan government is reconsidering its proposal for child care leave for women employees. In the state assembly, Transport and Road Safety Minister Dr. Premchand Bairawa assured that the proposal to provide this benefit to women personnel working in the workshops of the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation will be reviewed again. However, this proposal was previously returned by the finance department. Currently, only women in service positions receive this benefit, but the possibility of amending the rules for workers and workshop employees is being explored.</p>



<p>Transport and Road Safety Minister Dr. Premchand Bairawa assured the assembly on Wednesday that the proposal to grant child care leave to women personnel working in the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation workshops will be re-examined. A previously submitted proposal on this matter was returned by the finance department. He explained that under the current service rules, only women employees in service positions in the corporation are granted child care leave, similar to state government employees.</p>



<p>The Transport and Road Safety Minister was responding to supplementary questions raised by a member during question hour. He explained that due to differences in service rules, workers and workshop employees are currently not receiving child care leave. Earlier, in a written reply to the original question by MLA Geeta Barbad , the Transport and Road Safety Minister stated that eligible women personnel in the ministerial cadre employed by the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation are entitled to a maximum of 730 days of child care leave during their entire service period. He placed a copy of the order issued by the corporation on the table of the House.</p>


<p>A significant issue concerning women employees has been raised in the Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly). The question of whether female employees will receive child care leave is currently under review by the government, which will conduct a re-examination of the policy.</p>
