This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 20th of May and here are the headlines.1. India's Global Anti-Terror Diplomacy DriveIndia has launched a major diplomatic outreach, sending seven multi-party delegations to 32 countries to highlight its fight against terrorism, particularly from Pakistani soil. Briefed by the Ministry of External Affairs, the teams will explain India's military response after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. PM Modi framed the doctrine as part of a global anti-terror campaign, stating there will be zero tolerance for terror sheltered by “nuclear blackmail.” The goal: convince the world not to equate India, a terror victim, with Pakistan, a terror perpetrator.2. TMC Replaces Yusuf Pathan With Abhishek BanerjeeAfter initially rejecting the Centre's move to include Yusuf Pathan in its foreign outreach delegations, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has nominated Abhishek Banerjee instead. The switch came after Union Minister Kiren Rijiju spoke to TMC chief Mamata Banerjee. Abhishek, the party's general secretary, will now join the anti-terror diplomatic push. Separately, TMC is sending its own delegation, led by Manas Bhunia, to Jammu and Kashmir to support victims of cross-border terror. Earlier, Pathan, a cricketer-turned-MP, had been named without TMC's consultation, prompting the initial protest.3. Heavy Rains Disrupt Bengaluru; Red Alert IssuedBengaluru faced severe disruptions on Tuesday after intense pre-monsoon thundershowers caused widespread flooding and traffic chaos. The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for the city and Karnataka, forecasting heavy rain, thunderstorms, and lightning through May 26. Commuters struggled, with some taking two hours to travel just 7 km. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre has echoed warnings of extremely heavy rainfall and advised caution. The relentless downpour left several areas waterlogged, reigniting concerns over the city's poor infrastructure and monsoon preparedness.4. Veteran Nuclear Scientist M R Srinivasan Dies at 95M R Srinivasan, former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and a pioneer of India's nuclear program, passed away on Tuesday at age 95. He is survived by his wife and daughter. Srinivasan played a key role in developing India's indigenous nuclear capabilities, working alongside legendary scientist Dr Homi Bhabha. Honoured with the Padma Vibhushan, his death marks the end of a historic era in Indian science. District Collector Lakshmi Bhavya Tanneeru paid floral tributes to the distinguished scientist's mortal remains.5. Netanyahu Offers Conditional End to Gaza WarIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he's willing to end the Gaza war if Hamas agrees to strict terms, including disarming. His statement comes amid rising international pressure, with the UK, France, and Canada threatening sanctions over Israel's latest Gaza offensive. Netanyahu slammed these nations for demanding a Palestinian state, calling it a reward for “genocidal attacks on Israel.” In a joint statement, the Western leaders criticized Israel's denial of humanitarian aid to Palestinians, warning that it could violate international law if continued.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 14th of April and here are today's headlines.Mehul Choksi Arrested in Belgium After India's Extradition RequestFugitive diamond trader Mehul Choksi has been arrested in Belgium following an extradition request by India, according to sources. Choksi is wanted by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate in the ₹13,000 crore Punjab National Bank fraud case. He had been residing in Antwerp on a residency card after previously living in Antigua and Barbuda. Earlier this year, India, via the Ministry of External Affairs, formally requested Belgium to extradite him.

Police suspect the child was also raped, though a post-mortem report is awaited. The incident occurred when Kumar allegedly tried to attack police while attempting to escape. He was shot in the leg and back, then declared dead at a local medical college. Kumar had been working in the city for 2–3 months. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the child's death.Fresh Death Threat Sent to Salman Khan via WhatsAppBollywood actor Salman Khan received another death threat early Sunday through a message sent to the Mumbai police traffic department's WhatsApp number.

Nello stato del Karnataka, in India, in una città in rovina abbandonata da cinque secoli, c'è una statua di Narasiṃha, l'uomo leone, impressionante manifestazione del dio Viṣṇu. È seduto a gambe incrociate, adorno di una corona. Il suo sorriso è terrificante, i suoi occhi sporgenti e senza pupilla ci fissano. Ma se un praticante di yoga osservasse la statua, sarebbe un'altra cosa a colpirlo maggiormente: le ginocchia dell'uomo leone sono tenute strette da una cinghia da yoga.Molti degli attrezzi che si usano nello yoga posturale moderno, i cosiddetti props, hanno origini molto recenti, ma il caso della cinghia da yoga è sicuramente unico. Un tempo simbolo stesso della pratica dello yoga, quando questa consisteva principalmente nello stare seduti immobili molto a lungo, la cinghia ha attraversato una rinascita che è coincisa con la rivoluzione contemporanea dello yoga. Ma anche se i suoi usi sono diversi, ora, in questo semplice strumento è conservata una tradizione davvero secolare, un lungo cammino durante il quale la cinghia ha sempre fatto da supporto alla disciplina dei praticanti.Potete ascoltare questo episodio, come sempre, su Spotify, su Apple Podcast, su Substack, su YouTube o sulla vostra piattaforma audio preferita.Buona pratica, e buon ascolto,Francesco & AliceI miti dello yoga è un podcast che cerca di svelare, raccontando una storia, cosa si nasconde dietro gli āsana fatti sul tappetino.

Send us a textStep into the streets of Bangalore as veteran storyteller Arun Pai reveals how he transformed from corporate consultant to the city's premier walking tour guide. After six years in the business world, Arun boldly decided to create something entirely different—a premium walking experience that would reveal Bangalore's forgotten histories and global connections.What began as a simple observation during his time in London—that quality historical walks didn't exist in Indian cities—evolved into a two-decade passion project. Through meticulous research and countless hours exploring the streets, Arun uncovered fascinating stories that challenged the popular narrative about Bangalore's origins. "Bangalore has always been a global city. Always," he explains, pushing back against the idea that the city's significance began with the tech boom of the 1980s.Arun's methodical approach to entrepreneurship offers powerful lessons for anyone considering an unconventional path. Rather than seeking investor funding during the dot-com bubble, he committed to building slowly with his own resources, testing his concept with 100 participants before officially launching. For over a decade, he conducted walks every Sunday at 7 AM without fail, creating consistency in an industry where it didn't previously exist.The conversation explores how Bangalore's geography as a crossroads city shaped its development, why premium pricing signals value, and how Arun's specialized knowledge eventually led to representing Karnataka during India's G20 presidency. His journey embodies the philosophy he borrowed from cricket legend Rahul Dravid: "Just keep batting and things fall into place."Ready to discover the hidden stories beneath your feet?

Investors are wary of US President Donald Trump's April 2 tariff deadline, which triggered sell-offs in Asian and European markets. Nifty 50 faces key support at 23,263 and resistance at 23,737, with analysts predicting volatility ahead. Meanwhile, concerns over a potential US recession (35% probability per Goldman Sachs) and FPI outflows are adding to uncertainty. IGL's Solar Bet Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) is entering renewables through a ₹2,066 crore joint venture with Rajasthan Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RVUNL) to develop a 500 MWp solar project in Bikaner. With IGL holding a 74% stake, the project aligns with its ambition to build a 1 GW green energy portfolio within four years. The company, known for city gas distribution, is now expanding beyond Delhi into Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Vodafone Idea's Lifeline Vodafone Idea (Vi) received a major boost as the government converted ₹36,950 crore of spectrum dues into equity, reducing its statutory burden by 66% over three years. This frees up ₹40,000 crore in cash flow, easing Vi's liquidity crisis as it seeks ₹25,000 crore in bank funding. However, long-term challenges remain, with annual payments of ₹43,000 crore due between FY28-31. Without tariff hikes, Vi could require further government intervention, potentially making it a public-sector telecom operator. SEBI Cracks Down on Finfluencers India's market regulator SEBI is tightening oversight of financial influencers, especially those registered with AMFI, as part of a broader crackdown on misinformation. With help from Meta and Google, SEBI has removed 70,000 unregistered digital financial advisors. The issue is pressing—82% of social media-driven investors act on influencer advice, yet only 2% of these influencers are SEBI-registered. SEBI is exploring ways to increase the number of registered investment advisors while experts push for stricter monitoring of financial content. Telecom Expansion Faces Roadblocks Telecom firms warn of service disruptions as 13 states, including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, have yet to implement the Centre's 2024 Right of Way (RoW) rules. High municipal fees, multiple approval layers, and delays in clearances are stalling 4G and 5G rollouts. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is pushing for compliance, with a centralized RoW portal expected soon. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) is urging swift action to prevent network congestion. These developments highlight India's evolving business landscape, with markets bracing for volatility, industries pivoting to new opportunities, and regulatory shifts shaping the investment and telecom sectors.

In this deeply enriching episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we delve into the transformative journey of Trishala Ashok—an award-winning jewelry designer turned conservation filmmaker and founder of True Story Media Productions LLP. Through an inspiring and heartfelt conversation, Trishala takes us on a voyage that beautifully bridges creativity and science, forging a path that is not just about capturing wildlife through the lens, but about safeguarding it through purpose-driven narratives. From the forests of Karnataka to the banks of the Girwa River and the unseen corridors of airport security, Trishala's commitment to ecological filmmaking has established her as a pioneer in the realm of biodiversity conservation.Her story begins in the world of shimmering gemstones and 3D-printed designs, but a fateful encounter with a tiger in Jim Corbett National Park changed everything. That single moment stirred something within—a deep calling that led her away from the glittering world of fashion to the raw, untamed wilderness of India's biodiversity hotspots. What followed was a courageous decision to abandon a successful business in jewelry design, and leap into the unknown world of conservation without a roadmap—armed only with passion, empathy, and an unwavering desire to make a difference.In this episode, Trishala opens up about her early experiences with wildlife rescue in Bangalore, where she worked with monkeys, black kites, lorises, and snakes. She shares riveting accounts of her collaborations with the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau and Karnataka Forest Department, tackling wildlife trade and urban wildlife rescues. These foundational years, filled with on-ground exposure and grassroots outreach, eventually gave rise to the storyteller in her—a voice determined to counter deep-rooted misconceptions about wildlife, particularly snakes, through the power of conservation filmmaking.Trishala's first film, DEFANG, born out of a need to debunk snake-related myths like the existence of the mythical "nagamani," marked her official entry into wildlife documentary filmmaking. Created in partnership with the Karnataka Forest Department and Kalinga Center for Rainforest Ecology, DEFANG not only garnered support from the highest forest authority but also signaled the beginning of her journey into biodiversity filmmaking. It's not just the subject matter that makes this documentary unique—it's the impact-driven storytelling that weaves science with empathy and curiosity with community action.From there, Trishala's work continued to evolve. One of her most notable contributions is a public service announcement featuring Gauri Shankar, a renowned herpetologist, and a young boy from a rural village. This short film reached thousands across Karnataka and successfully altered local perceptions about snakes—encouraging empathy, curiosity, and coexistence. In a moving anecdote, Trishala recalls returning to the village a year later to find local children guarding a burrow of snake eggs, a testament to the behavioral shift her work helped inspire. This moment solidified her belief that wildlife filmmaking can do more than just document nature—it can mobilize communities, change narratives, and ultimately protect species.Trishala's philosophy is rooted in the idea that storytelling should not end with the credits; instead, it should catalyze action. This belief inspired her to found True Story Media Productions LLP, a media platform focused not only on nature documentaries and sustainable filmmaking, but also on social change. At True Story, storytelling transcends screen time, extending into conservation outreach campaigns, policy change, and educational efforts. Whether working with schoolchildren or policy-makers, the mission remains the same: inspire action through compelling narratives grounded in truth.One of True Story's recent standout projects is Girwa ke Gharial, a short film blending fiction with conservation messaging to spotlight the critically endangered gharial in Uttar Pradesh. Featuring local children and forest officers as actors, the film connects audiences with the riverine ecosystem in a relatable and accessible way. Through engaging storytelling and community inclusion, the project helped redefine public attitudes toward gharials—prompting viewers to see them not as obscure reptiles, but as proud icons of their region's natural heritage.But Trishala's commitment to conservation extends beyond rivers and forests. In a groundbreaking new project titled Hidden Routes: Detecting Wildlife Crime Through Airports, she explores a darker, lesser-known side of conservation: wildlife trafficking. With a focus on training customs officers to detect illegal wildlife trade, this non-public film represents a pioneering step in biodiversity management. Drawing from nearly a decade of work with the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau and other enforcement agencies, Trishala's investigative lens now serves as a vital tool in safeguarding endangered species from organized crime syndicates.Another fascinating initiative she shares is an upcoming wildlife documentary on marine mammal strandings along the Indian coast. This film, made in collaboration with marine mammalogist Dipani Sutaria, is designed to educate coastal communities and fisheries departments in both Malayalam and English. By providing clear, culturally grounded guidance on how to handle strandings, the project exemplifies Trishala's unique approach to sustainable filmmaking: hyper-local, inclusive, and rooted in both science and storytelling.Also in the pipeline is a passion project centered on the enigmatic Indian chameleon. After three years of research and development, Trishala is finally moving into production on this highly anticipated 4K video that will highlight the ecological significance and conservation needs of this visually stunning yet vulnerable reptile. Through this project, she hopes to draw attention to a species that often goes unnoticed in mainstream conservation conversations.Throughout the episode, Trishala also reflects on the challenges and joys of being a female filmmaker in a niche, often under-resourced field. She talks about the technical hurdles of filming in remote locations, the difficulties of acquiring permits, and the unpredictable nature of shooting in the wild. Despite these challenges, she maintains that filmmaking—when done with integrity, vision, and community collaboration—can drive real-world impact.For aspiring filmmakers, she offers invaluable advice. She emphasizes the importance of knowing your gear inside out, even when projects are few and far between. She encourages budding storytellers to explore all aspects of ecological filmmaking, from scriptwriting to editing, directing to producing. By honing a broad range of technical and narrative skills, young filmmakers can build sustainable careers that both support and advocate for the planet.What sets Trishala apart is her refusal to compromise on emotional truth, even when facing logistical hurdles or skepticism from peers. In a moment of doubt during the production of Girwa ke Gharial, mentors advised her to simplify the project. But she stuck to her creative instincts, refusing to dilute the story for convenience. That leap of faith paid off when the film deeply resonated with its target audience—young children and local villagers who had never before seen their culture and environment reflected so vividly on screen.One particularly heartwarming story she shares is from her time volunteering with the Kalinga Center for Rainforest Ecology. While accompanying a film crew to document a king cobra, she spent days engaging with a family who initially wanted the snake removed. By the end of the week, their fear turned to fascination. One villager even suggested leaving curd rice at the snake's burrow, a traditional Indian gesture of care. This moment, rich in cultural nuance and personal transformation, exemplifies the kind of impact conservation filmmaking can have when it's rooted in empathy and respect.From addressing climate change to amplifying underrepresented voices in conservation, Trishala's work embodies a powerful synergy between media, science, and community. Her films are not just stories—they are instruments of change. With each frame, she invites us to see the world not only as it is but as it could be: interconnected, thriving, and deeply worth protecting.So whether you're a student of environmental science, an aspiring wildlife photographer, or simply a lover of stories that matter, this episode is for you. Join us in this immersive conversation with Trishala Ashok as we explore the evolving landscape of biodiversity conservation through the lens of one of India's most passionate and visionary storytellers.#conservationfilmmaking #conservation #wildlifephotography #wildlifefilmmaking #filmmaking #femalefilmmaker #naturedocumentary #wildlifedocumentary #biodiversity #sustainablefilmmaking #biodiversityhotspots #conservationoutreach #biodiversityfilmmaking #4kvideo #ecologicalfilmmaking #climatechange #biodiversityconservation #biodiversitymanagementMeet the HostAnish Banerjee: https://x.com/anishwildlifeThink Wildlife Foundation: https://thinkwildlifefoundation.com/Meet the GuestsTrishala Ashok: https://trishalaashok.com/Recommended Wildlife Conservation BooksWildlife Conservation in India by HS Pabla: https://amzn.to/3Ypx9ZhIndian Mammals: A Field Guide by Vivek Menon: https://amzn.to/4fhMiCLAt the Feet of Living Things by Aparajita Datta: https://amzn.to/3BZmtsN Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain. Today is the 10th of March and here are the headlines.Proceedings in Lok Sabha resumed after being adjourned due to chaos over the PM SHRI scheme. Speaker Om Birla urged MPs to be seated and respect Parliament or face action. Meanwhile, the opposition staged a walk-out in the Rajya Sabha. Tensions are rising between the government and opposition, with concerns over electoral roll manipulation, violence in Manipur, and India's handling of the Trump administration. The government aims to secure Parliament's approval for grants, the Manipur budget, and the Waqf Amendment Bill.A fashion show in Kashmir's Gulmarg has sparked controversy, with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah saying his government had no involvement. The event, held during Ramzan, was criticized by Kashmir's chief cleric, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who called it “outrageous” and “obscene.” Abdullah, responding to the criticism, expressed that the show disrespected local sensitivities during the holy month. The fashion show, organized to mark the 15th anniversary of designer label Shivan & Narresh, took place on snow-covered slopes of Gulmarg on Friday. Kannada actor Ranya Rao, arrested for smuggling 14.2 kg of gold worth Rs 12.56 crore, has links to a land deal in Karnataka. Rao was the majority shareholder of Ksiroda India, a company that received 12 acres of industrial land in Tumakuru from the BJP government in February 2023. Rao, also known as Harshavardini Ranya, was arrested at Bengaluru airport on March 3 by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). A special court later handed her over to DRI custody for further investigation. Mark Carney, former central banker in Canada and the UK, has won the Liberal Party's leadership race and will replace Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada. In his victory speech, Carney stated, “America is not Canada,” stressing the differences between the two nations. He criticized the U.S. for its resource-driven ambitions and vowed that Canada would never be part of the U.S. Carney's comments on Canadian sovereignty highlighted his commitment to protecting the country's identity and way of life. Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, vowed to hunt down Bashar al-Assad loyalists after over 830 civilians were killed in brutal massacres on Syria's west coast. The deaths occurred from Friday to Saturday and targeted Alawite communities. Sharaa, whose rebel group, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), overthrew Assad's regime in December, promised to hold those responsible for the violence accountable. His speech, broadcast on TV and social media, marked a firm stance against Assad loyalists amid escalating violence in the region.  This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

What if the key to understanding life's biggest questions had been passed down for centuries—but nearly disappeared along the way?In this episode of Wellness Curated, host Anshu Bahanda sits down with Manish Modi, a custodian of Jain literature and the great-grandson of Pandit Nathuram Premji, a pioneer in Jain publishing and social reform. Manish continues this legacy through Hindi Granth Ratnakar Karyalay, a prestigious publishing house founded in 1912. His passion for preserving and sharing Jain teachings has led him to translate, publish, and lecture extensively on the subject.But these texts weren't simply written and preserved. They survived secrecy, memory lapses, and even opposition from within the Jain community itself. What happened when knowledge was entrusted to memory alone? Why were ancient manuscripts hidden away in Karnataka for centuries? And how did a group of determined scholars convince a wealthy patron to fund their revival instead of another temple?Beyond their history, these scriptures hold profound lessons about how to live with purpose, balance, and clarity. Mahavir's teachings weren't just for his time—they speak to challenges we all face today. Join us as we uncover how these ancient insights continue to shape lives, offering wisdom that remains as relevant as ever.For a transcript of this show, go to https://wellnesscurated.life/the-agamas-of-jainism-lessons-that-still-matter-2/If you liked our episode, you can subscribe to our podcast on any of the major podcasting platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.

KD Kempamma, infamously known as Cyanide Mallika, was India's first convicted female serial killer, preying on vulnerable women in Karnataka between 1999 and 2007. Disguising herself as a pious woman offering spiritual guidance, she lured victims with promises of divine intervention before poisoning them with cyanide-laced prasad or water. Her chilling crimes, driven by greed, ultimately led to her arrest and a historic death sentence, marking one of India's most shocking serial killer cases.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Conceptualised in 1941 and approved in 2005, the Polavaram project has encountered significant delays, cost overruns, and challenges like coffer dam leaks and diaphragm wall damage. Designed to irrigate 7.2 lakh acres and stabilise water for over 23.5 lakh acres, it plans to interlink the Krishna and Godavari rivers, promising water to Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh. As the central government releases over ₹2,300 crore to revive the Polavaram project and Andhra Pradesh moves closer to completing this massive irrigation initiative, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta and Deputy Editor Moushumi Das Gupta discuss the timeline and significance of the project. #cuttheclutter episode 1591 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read ‘Budget windfall for Naidu with Amaravati aid, Polavaram commitment. ‘TDP sold public short' — YSRCP': https://theprint.in/budget/budget-windfall-for-naidu-with-amaravati-aid-polavaram-commitment-tdp-sold-public-short-ysrcp/2187654/ Read ‘Understanding the D-Wall: Polavaram Project | Megha Engineering' here: https://theprint.in/india/governance/unfinished-after-20-yrs-andhras-polavaram-dam-plagued-by-technical-issues-funds-crunch-politics/1971332/ Watch '20 years & Rs 21,000 crore later, why Andhra's Polavaram project is still not complete' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6rSne_MVcU Read ‘Calling Jagan a ‘curse', Andhra Pradesh CM Naidu releases white paper on stalled Polavaram project' here: https://theprint.in/politics/calling-jagan-a-curse-andhra-pradesh-cm-naidu-releases-white-paper-on-stalled-polavaram-project/2153269/ Watch 'Understanding the D-Wall: Polavaram Project | Megha Engineering here': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO2YVxYIGDY 

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 10th of December and here are the headlines.No-Confidence Motion Against Vice-President DhankharIn a historic move, the Opposition today introduced a no-confidence motion against Vice-President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, marking the first such action in India's parliamentary history. The motion, supported by 65 signatures, aims to protest the alleged denial of speaking opportunities in the House. While the motion is unlikely to succeed due to the ruling party's strength in the Rajya Sabha, it signals growing dissatisfaction with the Chair's conduct. The Opposition had considered such a motion back in August as well, highlighting its ongoing concerns.Rajya Sabha Disruptions Over George Soros and AdaniFor the second consecutive day, the Rajya Sabha was disrupted, with Congress's alleged ties to billionaire George Soros sparking heated exchanges. The Opposition rebutted these accusations, demanding a debate on the BJP's alleged ties to industrialist Gautam Adani. The House was first adjourned due to protest slogans, and when it reconvened, BJP's JP Nadda accused the Opposition of serving external forces aiming to destabilize India. This led to a further uproar, underscoring the rising tensions in the House over these political charges.Former Karnataka CM SM Krishna Passes AwaySM Krishna, the former Karnataka Chief Minister and key figure in Bengaluru's rise on the global stage, passed away at the age of 92. He died early Tuesday from age-related issues. With a career spanning nearly six decades, Krishna served in multiple high offices, including as chief minister, governor, and external affairs minister. He joined the BJP in 2017 and retired from active politics in 2023. Krishna's legacy in Indian politics, particularly in Karnataka, is marked by his transformative leadership and contributions to state development.Mumbai's Tragic BEST Bus AccidentIn a tragic incident in Mumbai, a BEST bus crashed into 22 vehicles, killing seven and injuring 49. The accident took place near Anjuman-E-Islam School in Kurla West around 9:30 pm. Investigators revealed that the driver, Sanjay More, hit cars, two-wheelers, and even a police van. Police are still determining whether more vehicles were involved. The accident, one of the city's worst, has shocked locals and raised questions about traffic safety in crowded areas.Syria's Power Shift After 13 Years of ConflictAfter 13 years of civil war and decades of Assad family rule, Syria's rebel group, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has taken control of the country's governance. A meeting between rebel leaders and outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali confirmed the handover of power to the rebel-led Salvation Government. This momentous shift offers hope to Syrian refugees abroad, although uncertainty looms over the country's future stability as it transitions from decades of autocratic rule. The situation remains fragile, with global eyes on Syria's next steps.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 22th of November and here are this week's headlines.Karnataka's Anti-Naxal Force shot and killed fugitive Naxal leader Vikram Gowda in a gunbattle on Monday night in Udupi. The 44-year-old had been a key member of the banned CPI (Maoist) group, considered one of the last remaining major Naxal leaders from Karnataka. His death follows the 2021 arrest of another top leader, B.G. Krishnamurthy. With Gowda's death, the remaining underground Naxals in Karnataka come down to just seven, including four women.Delhi's air quality hit alarming levels early Tuesday, with an AQI of 492, placing the capital in the "severe-plus" category. Certain areas, including Alipur and Anand Vihar, surpassed the 500 mark. This means Delhi residents are breathing in pollutants equivalent to 50 cigarettes a day, posing serious health risks to everyone, not just those with pre-existing conditions. The government has implemented its highest emergency measures, and the Supreme Court has ordered these actions to remain in place until further notice. Additionally, Delhi's Environment Minister Gopal Rai announced a 50% work-from-home policy for both private and government offices due to severe air pollution.As polling concluded in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, urban voter ahpathy remained a challenge for the Election Commission, which frequently ran campaigns to encourage people to come out in large numbers and vote. Despite being the state's largest city and the country's financial and entertainment hub, Mumbai recorded the lowest vote turnout at 51.27 per cent, just 1 per cent higher than 48.4 per cent turnout in 2019. Meanwhile, Gadchiroli saw the highest turnout at 69.63 per cent. In Jharkhand, Jamtara recorded the highest turnout at 76.16 per cent, while Bo-ka-ro had the lowest at 60.97 per cent. After casting his vote in Thane, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde expressed his confidence in securing a thumping victory in the ongoing Assembly polls. Shinde said, quote “People have seen their two-and-a-half years of rule vis-a-vis the work done by us in the same amount of time. People will vote for development and for the work done by us,” unquote.In a major legal development, US prosecutors have indicted Gautam Adani, the chairman of Adani Group, along with seven others, accusing them of orchestrating a $250 million bribery scheme. The charges allege the group bribed Indian officials to secure power contracts in India. Alongside the indictment, the US SEC is seeking penalties and a jury trial for Adani and his associates, citing their operations in the US and impact on American investors. The political war over the Adani bribery case heats up as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accuses the Indian government of supporting Gautam Adani, who was indicted in the US for allegedly offering over $200 million in bribes. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra hit back, accusing Congress of destabilizing Indian markets with false propaganda. He questioned why Congress-ruled states had welcomed Adani's investments despite the controversy.On the global front, Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from its southern Astrakhan region in an attack against Ukraine. Kyiv's air force said this is the first time since the war broke out that Russia has used a long-range missile. Meanwhile, Ukraine on Wednesday said that Russia hit it with a “a massive information-psychological attack” by dispersing fake warning, alledgedly from Ukrainian military intelligence, about an imminent mass air attack. Following the Main Directorate of Intelligence's statement Reuters reported, quote “This message is a fake, it contains grammatical errors typical of Russian information and psychological operations,” unquoteThis was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Certain areas, including Alipur and Anand Vihar, surpassed the 500 mark. This means Delhi residents are breathing in pollutants equivalent to 50 cigarettes a day, posing serious health risks to everyone, not just those with pre-existing conditions. The government has implemented its highest emergency measures, and the Supreme Court has ordered these actions to remain in place until further notice.Political Tensions Escalate in Maharashtra Ahead of PollsTensions flared in Virar, Maharashtra, just a day before state elections, as Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) workers accused BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde of distributing cash to sway voters. Election officials recovered nearly Rs 10 lakh from Tawde's hotel room.
