Major attack on I-Day thwarted in Tripura as police arrest 2 with explosives
Agartala, Aug 15 (PTI) A major attack on Independence Day was thwarted in Tripura as two persons were arrested with explosives, police said on Friday. Acting on a tip-off, a vehicle was intercepted at Vanghmun in North Tripura on Thursday evening, they said. Two suspected members of the Tripura United National Force (TUNF), a newly-formed outfit, were arrested from the vehicle with 14 electric detonators and neogel explosives, SP Avinash Kumar Rai told PTI. Those arrested were identified as Dhananjoy Reang of Katlichhera in Assam and Sadai Nanda Reang of Kasko in Damchhera in North Tripura, he said. 'Preliminary enquiry suggests they had hatched a conspiracy to destabilise the state, with intent to kill police personnel, damage police vehicles, snatch arms and ammunition in the run up to Independence Day celebrations to grab the attention of the public," Rai said. 'The swift operation averted a major security incident," he said. PTI PS SOM view comments First Published: August 15, 2025, 09:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

One injured as bridge under construction collapses in Kerala
KOZHIKODE: A portion of the under-construction Thorayikadavu bridge, which connects the Koyilandy and Balussery constituencies, collapsed on Thursday afternoon, injuring a worker. The incident occurred over the middle of the river when a newly installed beam tilted and gave way, causing the concrete structure to collapse along with it. The incident has sparked widespread concern and prompted immediate action from authorities. Local residents and political workers have alleged that substandard construction practices may have led to the collapse — an allegation that is now under official investigation. The injured worker was identified as being part of the construction crew and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The Thorayikadavu bridge is designed to connect the Pookkad and Atholi riverbanks. The project, funded by KIIFB (Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board) with a budget of approximately `23.82 crore, is being constructed by the Malappuram-based PMR Group. The bridge is planned to be 265 metres long and 12 metres wide. The construction work is overseen by the PWD Kerala Road Fund Unit. According to local resident Ajay Bose, several construction workers narrowly escaped serious injuries when the beam collapsed during concreting work. 'It's a miracle more people weren't hurt,' he said, highlighting the dangerous nature of the incident. Following the collapse, a higher official with PWD demanded an urgent report from the project director. He stated that further action would be taken once the report is received. Congress workers expressed outrage over the collapse, calling it a textbook example of negligence and corruption. They demanded a thorough probe and strict action against the construction company. 'This is not just a structural failure; it's a failure of responsibility,' said a local Congress leader, who preferred to remain anonymous. 'The public deserves to know why a project of this magnitude, funded by public money, was allowed to be compromised.' Residents said the bridge was seen as a vital infrastructure project that would improve connectivity and boost the local economy. They are demanding accountability from the construction firm, PMR Group, and have called for an urgent and transparent inquiry.

Review: In ‘Tehran', an Indian police officer inserts himself into the Iran-Israel conflict
In the Hindi movie Tehran, a high-ranking Delhi Police officer tries to out-Mossad Mossad. Arun Gopalan's thriller on ZEE5 marries the rule-breaking cop valourised by Indian filmmakers with the espionage dramas that emerge out of Israel with predictable regularity. In 2012, Iranian agents carry out bomb attacks on Israeli diplomats in three cities, including Delhi. Special Cell unit member Rajeev (John Abraham) is pained by the deaths of Indian bystanders, especially a girl who sells flowers. Rajeev vows that he will not allow terrorists to use India as a staging ground for such attacks. Until their very hands are cut off, nobody will take India seriously, he declares. Although described by his superiors as 'insane' and a loose cannon, Rajeev has friends in the right places, including Research and Analysis Wing officer Sheilaja (Neeru Bajwa). Accompanied by Divya (Manushi Chhillar) and Vijay (Dinker Sharma), Rajeev embarks on an unsanctioned covert operation to punish the perpetrators of the blast, much to the horror of his boss Neeraj (Alyy Khan) and RAW chief Himadri (Qaushik Mukherjee). Rajeev's antics could jeopardise a crucial gas deal between India and Iran, so both governments are understandably outraged too. The Israelis, not so much. While the diplomats officially distance themselves from Rajeev, Mossad thinks he might be useful. After Rajeev is disowned by India and hunted by Iran, an Israeli agent helps him on the sly, a mark of admiration for a man who doesn't follow the rules of combat. Tehran is purportedly inspired by actual events. Based on a story by Bindni Karia and a screenplay by Karia and Ritesh Shah, the movie wades into a diplomatic quagmire from which it is unable to extricate itself. The film tries to be wise about and up-to-speed with geopolitics in Asia and the Arab world in the early 2010s. Gritty and fast-paced, with chunks of Farsi dialogue, Tehran attempts to appear authentic but operates in the same realm of fantasy from which emerge tall tales of Indian agents matching the prowess of their Western counterparts. Tehran is out at a time when Israel's relations with Iran are in tatters and Israel's brutal offensive in Gaza has surpassed all limits of morality. Given the deadly serious realities of the moment, it's hard to care for Rajeev's kill-or-be-killed mentality, his bizarre quest to destroy ties with India's allies, his Rambo-like tendencies, or even his anguish at being abandoned by his government. Explicit links are made in the film between the Iranian militant Afsar's support for the Palestinian cause and his murder of a rabbi – a 'Free Palestine' banner hangs in the background as Afsar (Hadi Khanjanpour) brutally slays the rabbi. Mossad's decision to use Rajeev is surely this Indian cop's dream come true. John Abraham plays Rajeev with quiet ferocity – a mien the actor has previously adopted in Batla House and The Diplomat. Among the supporting cast, Alyy Khan and Qaushik Mukherjee are compelling as government officials who do stick to the rules, and with good reason. Play
