Russia Launches Largest Drone Attack Yet on Ukraine


<p>Recent events between India and Pakistan over the past month are well-known. The Pahalgam Terrorist Attack on 22 April resulted in 26 deaths and 20 injuries. Pakistani terrorists were responsible for this attack. In response, India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the early hours of 7 May, destroying nine terrorist bases in Pakistan. Over 100 terrorists were reportedly killed in the Indian airstrikes. In retaliation, Pakistan launched drone and missile attacks on several Indian cities, which were thwarted. India, in turn, carried out precise strikes on several Pakistani military bases, destroying them.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s Revelation</h2>



<p>The Pakistani government’s denials have been contradicted, most recently by Maryam Nawaz Sharif. Addressing a public gathering, she admitted that Pakistan suffered significant damage due to the Indian attacks. For context, Maryam is the daughter of former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif (Nawaz Sharif) and serves as the Chief Minister of Punjab province in Pakistan.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Criticism of the Opposition</h2>



<p>Maryam also criticised the opposition, specifically Imran Khan’s (Imran Khan) PTI (PTI) party, which is currently in opposition. She stated that the damage inflicted by India and the damage caused by the opposition party on 9 May were comparable. It is worth noting that on 9 May 2023, Imran Khan’s supporters rioted nationwide following his arrest. These riots involved arson, widespread destruction, and significant damage to public property. Over 3,000 of Imran Khan’s supporters were subsequently arrested.</p>

<p><strong>ISI Spy Arrest:</strong> A 28-year-old health worker employed in Gujarat&#8217;s Kutch district has been arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan&#8217;s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency. The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) announced the arrest on Saturday. This is the third such espionage case in the state in the last eight months, raising concerns among security agencies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accused&#8217;s Name and Role</h2>



<p>The arrested accused is Sahdev Singh Dipubha Gohil, who was employed as a contract Multipurpose Health Worker (MPH) at the Mata-na-Madh Primary Health Centre in Kutch district. According to the ATS, Gohil sent sensitive pictures and videos related to the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Indian Navy to an unknown female agent who identified herself as Aditi Bhardwaj.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Contact via WhatsApp, Cash Payment Received</h2>



<p>ATS officials stated that Gohil was contacted by Aditi Bhardwaj on WhatsApp in mid-2023. The woman identified herself as an agent of the Pakistani intelligence agency and asked Gohil to send pictures and videos of the BSF and Navy&#8217;s under-construction and recently built security establishments in the Kutch region. In early 2025, Gohil purchased a new SIM card using his Aadhaar card, activated WhatsApp on it, and handed the SIM card to Bhardwaj. He continued sharing sensitive information through this medium. The investigation also revealed that Gohil received ₹40,000 in cash through an intermediary in exchange for his espionage activities.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arrest Made with Technical Surveillance and Central Agency Assistance</h2>



<p>On 1 May, the ATS apprehended Gohil based on technical surveillance and intelligence inputs, followed by a formal arrest. A case has been registered against him under sections 61 (criminal conspiracy) and 148 (waging war against the government or assisting in waging war) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Several pieces of information were deleted from Gohil&#8217;s mobile phone, which has now been sent to a forensic science lab for data retrieval.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Activity of Pakistani Agents on Social Media a Matter of Concern</h2>



<p>ATS officials stated that in recent months, there has been an increase in incidents of Pakistani intelligence agencies enticing Indian citizens through social media. Agents often pose as women, targeting individuals who are emotionally or financially vulnerable. The official said, &#8220;They have a large database and contact different people. Some people fall prey to greed or emotional traps and end up sharing sensitive information.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Background of Previous Cases in Gujarat</h2>



<p>Prior to the Kutch case, in November 2024, Dipesh Batuk Gohil, a resident of Arambada village in Okha taluka, Devbhoomi Dwarka district, was arrested. He had worked on Indian Coast Guard (ICG) ships for three years and was apprehended for allegedly sending information about the ships to a Pakistani agent through a Facebook account named Sahima. He received ₹42,000.</p>



<p>Similarly, in October 2024, Pankaj Kotia of Porbandar was arrested for allegedly sending information about Coast Guard ships to a Pakistan-based female agent named Riya. He received ₹26,000 through various bank accounts.</p>

<p><strong>Ishan Kishan IPL Record:</strong> Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) registered a resounding 42-run victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 65th match of IPL 2025. This was SRH&#8217;s fifth win, although it doesn&#8217;t change their playoff-eliminated status. However, the victory dealt a significant blow to RCB&#8217;s hopes of reaching Qualifier 1. The match hero, Ishan Kishan, played a blistering 94-run innings, narrowly missing a century. This innings marked a significant milestone in his 10-year IPL career.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unbeaten 94 Runs off 48 Balls</h2>



<p>Against RCB, Ishan Kishan displayed an explosive batting performance, smashing an unbeaten 94 runs off just 48 balls, including seven fours and five sixes. His innings propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad to a massive 231-run total against RCB. Ishan was deservedly awarded the Player of the Match for his match-winning knock.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A First in 10 Years of IPL</h2>



<p>This was Ishan Kishan&#8217;s second Player of the Match award this season. Earlier, he had scored a whirlwind century against the Rajasthan Royals for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He was also named Player of the Match for that match-winning performance. This marks the first time in his 10-year IPL career that he has won two Player of the Match awards in a single season.</p>

<p><strong>Paresh Rawal Hera Pheri 3:</strong> A major update has emerged regarding ‘Hera Pheri 3’. Paresh Rawal has returned the advance payment, including interest, to Akshay Kumar’s production company, ‘Cape of Good Films’. The company had filed a ₹25 crore lawsuit against Rawal for leaving the film, claiming significant losses due to his sudden withdrawal.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The ‘Babu bhaiyaa’ Payment: Understanding the Issue</h2>



<p>According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Rawal’s total fee for the project was set at ₹15 crore. He has reportedly returned the amount already received.</p>



<p>The report states that Rawal had received ₹11 lakh for promotional shoots and other work. However, following his exit from the film, Akshay Kumar’s team demanded the return of this sum, along with interest. News now suggests that Rawal has repaid the entire amount with 15% interest.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reason for Leaving the Film</h2>



<p>It is understood that Rawal objected to a clause in his contract stipulating that his full fee (approximately ₹15 crore) would only be paid one month after the film’s release. With the film’s release tentatively scheduled for 2026 or 2027, this clause implied a lengthy delay in payment, which Rawal found unacceptable.</p>



<p>Currently, there is no official statement from the actor or his team regarding this matter. However, the dispute has halted filming, leaving the project in limbo.</p>

Amrit Bharat Station Scheme: Revolutionizing railway infrastructure, rivaling airports


<p>Amrit Bharat Station Scheme: The sweeping changes at railway stations across India are transforming them into rivals for airports. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated 103 Amrit stations for public use. These Amrit stations represent a significant step towards modernising railway infrastructure. The Amrit Station scheme aims to provide modern amenities while preserving and showcasing local heritage. The design of the redeveloped station buildings is inspired by local culture, heritage, and architecture.</p>



<p>The Dharwad railway station in Hubballi district, Karnataka, has been redeveloped under the Amrit Station scheme. This station strengthens Dharwad&#8217;s academic and cultural identity, given its proximity to Karnataka University, agricultural universities, Nuggekeri Hanuman Temple, Murugha Mutt, and Unkal Lake. Meanwhile, Ahmedabad station is themed around the Modhera Sun Temple, Dwarka station around the Dwarkadhish Temple, Odisha&#8217;s Balasore station around the Jagannath Temple, and Gurugram station around IT. The influence of Chola architecture is clearly visible at Kumbakonam station in Tamil Nadu.</p>



<p>Seoni railway station in Madhya Pradesh is dedicated to Mowgli, the famous character from Rudyard Kipling&#8217;s timeless work, ‘The Jungle Book’. According to the story, Mowgli was associated with the Seoni region, where he was raised among wolves. In remembrance of the story, the railway station features images of Mowgli, as well as Sher Khan, Bagheera, Baloo, and Akela. The theme of Seoni station brings Mowgli&#8217;s world to life.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deshnok Station: A Glimpse of Karni Mata Temple</h2>



<p>The architecture of Deshnok station reflects the Karni Mata Temple. The Bundi station showcases the local paintings and a glimpse of the fort. The Fatehpur Shekhawati station complex now displays the region&#8217;s Shekhawati-style paintings and architecture. Local culture has also been taken into account at stations like Gogamedi, Govindgarh, Mandawar-Mahuwa Road, and Mandal-Garh.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Focus on Passenger Amenities</h2>



<p>Amrit stations are prioritising passenger amenities. These include modern toilets, parking, porches, coach position display boards, water booths, signboards, platform shelters, etc. Separate gates have been arranged to streamline entry and exit. Facilities such as lifts, escalators, and free Wi-Fi are being added as needed. There will also be an improved signage and information system. Some stations will have executive lounges and dedicated spaces for business meetings. Special attention is being paid to making the stations accessible for people with disabilities.</p>


<p>Amrit Bharat Station Scheme: Under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, railway stations across India are being equipped with modern amenities, providing airport-like facilities. The designs of 103 stations are inspired by local culture and heritage, preserving regional identity. Read Shabad Ahmad&#8217;s special report.</p>

<p><strong>Why Freshers Fear Job Interviews:</strong> A curious situation prevails in India&#8217;s job market. While there&#8217;s intense competition for jobs among young people, many lack confidence in facing interviews. A survey conducted across India by the online platform apna.co reveals a widening gap between opportunities and candidate preparedness. Only 32% of job seekers feel prepared for interviews, while 68% shy away.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Candidate Interviews</h2>



<p>Interview preparedness is significantly low among freshers. Only 21% of candidates with less than a year&#8217;s experience and just 20% of freshers consider themselves interview-ready. In contrast, 49% of those with over six years of experience feel fully prepared. This report is based on interactions with over 10,000 job seekers across the country. It highlights a strong correlation between work experience and interview confidence; more experience equates to greater interview preparedness.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Job Interview: Age and Interview Confidence</h2>



<p>The report also reveals how interview confidence varies across age groups. The highest confidence levels were observed in Gen X (those aged 45+), with 54% reporting feeling well-prepared for interviews. Millennials (aged 25-44) showed lower confidence levels at 36%, and Gen Z demonstrated even less self-assurance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Experience and Interview Readiness</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">English Medium Candidates More Confident</h2>



<p>The report indicates that candidates from English-medium backgrounds exhibited the highest confidence levels, with 44% feeling adequately prepared for interviews. This compares to 34% from Hindi-medium institutions and only 26% from those educated in regional language schools. This suggests significant language-related barriers to interview success.</p>

IPL 2025: Crorepati Flops! Five Players Who Dragged Their Teams Down


<p><strong>Indian Players who flopped despite big price:</strong> The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is in its final stages. Only six league matches remain, and four teams have already qualified for the playoffs: Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Mumbai Indians (MI).</p>



<p>However, some teams underperformed this season. A major reason for their failure was the average performance of their star players, especially those acquired for crores of rupees in the mega auction. Let&#8217;s look at five expensive players who disappointed fans and completely flopped throughout the season.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ravichandran Ashwin (Chennai Super Kings) — ₹9.75 crore</h2>



<p>Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has retired from international cricket, returned to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after a long time this season. The franchise bid ₹9.75 crore for him. It was expected that Ashwin would repeat his magic on the spin-friendly Chepauk pitches.</p>



<p>However, the experienced spinner completely flopped this season. Ashwin took only 7 wickets in 9 matches, with a bowling average of 40.42. His economy rate was also disappointing at 9.12 runs per over. Due to his poor form, the team management dropped him from the playing XI in several matches.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mohammed Shami (Sunrisers Hyderabad) — ₹10 crore</h2>



<p>Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for a whopping ₹10 crore in this season&#8217;s mega auction. It was hoped that his experience and ability to swing the new ball would make him a key weapon for SRH. But Shami failed miserably this season.</p>



<p>In the 9 matches he played, Shami took only 6 wickets. His bowling average was a poor 56.16, while his economy rate was a worrying 11.23 runs per over. Due to consistently disappointing performances, the team management dropped him from the playing XI in recent matches. Shami&#8217;s season has been disappointing for both SRH and its fans.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ishan Kishan (Sunrisers Hyderabad) — ₹11.25 crore</h2>



<p>Ishan Kishan, who smashed a whirlwind century at the start of IPL 2025, had high expectations throughout the season. Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him for a hefty ₹11.25 crore. But after his initial explosive performance, Ishan couldn&#8217;t regain his form, and his season was mediocre.</p>



<p>He scored only 231 runs in 11 innings across 12 matches, at a modest average of 25.67. His strike rate was 140.85, reflecting his aggressive style, but a lack of consistency in scoring runs was evident. Despite the high price tag and responsibility, Ishan failed to lead his team to the top, causing SRH to suffer at crucial moments.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Venkatesh Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders) — ₹23.75 crore</h2>



<p>Venkatesh Iyer&#8217;s bid in the IPL 2025 mega auction surprised everyone. KKR re-signed him for a record ₹23.75 crore, putting immense pressure on him to perform. But the middle-order batsman&#8217;s bat remained very subdued throughout the season.</p>



<p>Iyer scored only 142 runs in 7 innings, at an average of 20.28 and a strike rate of 139.21. His individual scores of 6, 3, 60, 45, 7, 14, and 7 show that he only made an impact in two innings, struggling for the rest. Despite the huge sum, the team was only left disappointed by his performance. It was expected that he would stabilise the innings or score quickly in the middle order, but he lacked consistency and big scores.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rishabh Pant (Lucknow Super Giants) — ₹27 crore</h2>



<p>Rishabh Pant, the most expensive player in IPL 2025, was bought by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for ₹27 crore. The franchise hoped that Pant would not only win matches with the bat but also lead the team as an inspirational captain. But this season proved extremely disappointing for both Pant and LSG.</p>



<p>In terms of batting, Pant scored only 151 runs in 13 matches at an average of 13.72 and a strike rate of 107.09. These figures are shocking for a player once considered among Team India&#8217;s most explosive batsmen. His bat remained silent throughout the season, and he didn&#8217;t play any impactful innings.</p>



<p>Pant also failed as captain. LSG had a good start to the tournament, but the team lost at crucial moments and was eliminated from the playoff race. A lack of strategic decisions and Pant&#8217;s individual performance failure severely hampered the team&#8217;s prospects.</p>
