MHA releases ₹25 cr for damaged houses due to Pak shelling post Op Sindoor
Three days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced additional compensation to the families whose houses in the border areas were damaged in Pakistan shelling post Operation Sindoor, Union home minister Amit Shah facilitated provision of release of ₹25 crore from his ministry for as many as 2,060 houses. The ministry of home affairs (MHA) said in a statement on Monday, 'Following the announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding additional compensation for houses damaged in border areas, Shah ensured swift action by facilitating an additional provision of ₹25 crore from the MHA for 2,060 houses.' While inaugurating the Chenab railway bridge, the world's highest single arch rail bridge, that completes the 272-km long Udhampur-Srinagar -Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, Modi said last Friday that stung by India's Operation Sindoor, a desperate Pakistan attacked innocent people including children in Jammu and Poonch. As a special case, Modi announced additional compensation of ₹2 lakh for each fully damaged house and ₹1 lakh for each partially damaged house. 'The MHA has ensured swift implementation of this decision. Similar compensation will also be provided in the border areas of Punjab,' the ministry said on Monday. Following operation Sindoor, several incidents of cross border shelling were reported in border districts of Jammu and Kashmir. 'Hundreds of families suffered due to cross border shelling on residential areas, schools, religious structures including gurudwaras, temples, mosques and commercial properties. The administration took proactive measures to anticipate possible events and ensure effective response. A total of 3.25 lakh persons were evacuated from the border districts, out of which about 15,000 persons were accommodated in about 397 shelter sheds or accommodation centres equipped with facilities like food, water, health care, electricity etc,' MHA said. It further said that 394 ambulances were deployed in all border districts to take patients to hospitals for treatment during the shelling, out of which 62 ambulances were deployed in Poonch district alone. 'A total of 2,818 civil defence volunteers were also deployed for services related to health, fire and emergency services, livestock, essential supplies etc,' it added. Operation Sindoor was India's direct military response to the April 22 terror strike at Pahalgam in Kashmir that killed 26 people in what was the worst attack on civilians since the 26/11 Mumbai strikes. Indian forces launched the operation in the early hours of May 7, bombing nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The pre-dawn strikes on May 7 --- in which at least 100 terrorists were killed --- sparked a series of attacks and counterattacks across the western border, involving fighter jets, missiles, armed drones, and fierce artillery and rocket duels. In one such counterattack on the night of May 9-10, the Indian Air Force struck targets at 13 Pakistani air bases and military installations. After four days of fighting, military hostilities were stopped on May 10 evening as the two nations reached an understanding. Earlier, Shah visited Poonch on May 29–30, during which he handed over appointment letters on compassionate grounds to the family members of those who lost their lives due to cross-border firing. 'As per the norms, compensation for the damages caused by cross-border shelling was provided immediately,' MHA said.

PM Modi to visit Cyprus in the middle of Turkiye-Pakistan solidarity
Prime Minister Narendra Modi (File photo) NEW DELHI: As India works to expand its footprint in Europe, PM Narendra Modi will visit Cyprus on his way to Canada for the G7 summit and Croatia while returning home. Both Cyprus and Croatia are members of the EU and the former will hold the rotating presidency of the EU Council for the first half of the next year. Modi was scheduled to travel to Croatia last month, along with the Netherlands and Norway, but the visit had to be postponed because of the military tensions between India and Pakistan. The G7 summit takes place at Kananaskis in Alberta from June 15 to 17, with Modi participating in the outreach session on the last day. The eleventh hour invitation by Canada means that PM's programme is yet to be finalised but government sources said efforts are underway to schedule bilateral meetings. The visit to Cyprus, only the 3rd by an Indian PM after A B Vajpayee in 2002 and Indira Gandhi in 1983, will also be followed closely as it comes in the middle of tensions between India and Turkiye over the latter's support to Pakistan - and the show of solidarity by President Recep Erdogan himself - during the India-Pakistan military clash last month. Ankara's recognition of the so-called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in the northern region that was seized by Turkish forces in 1974 and differences over gas exploration rights in the Eastern Mediterranean remain a constant source of tensions between Turkiye and Cyprus. India has consistently backed solution of what is known as the Cyprus problem through UNSC resolutions and international law. As Turkiye stands solidly with Pakistan, India has sought to strengthen ties with both Cyprus and Greece, focusing on defence and security cooperation. Modi became the first Indian PM to visit Greece in 40 years when he travelled to Athens in 2023. Both countries have supported India on issues concerning terrorism and also on Kashmir. According to the MEA, Cyprus has backed India on a number of significant issues like India's election to UNSC, the India-US Civil Nuclear Agreement, NSG membership and also the 1998 nuclear tests. Modi's visit to Croatia on his way back will also be the first visit by any Indian PM to the country. S Jaishankar became the first Indian foreign minister to visit the southeast European country in 2021 as the 2 countries looked to expand bilateral ties. Two years later, India and Croatia also signed an MoU for defence cooperation.

After Ajay Devgn & Mani Ratnam, Neha Dhupia supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand amid Sandeep Reddy Vanga row: 'We often get shamed or sidelined...'
Neha Dhupia has come out in support of Deepika Padukone and shared the issue as a working mother read more Deepika Padukone's recent exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit featuring Prabhas has been garnering headlines for quite some time now. The actress quit the project because the director refused to accommodate an 8-hour shift, as Padukone had recently embraced motherhood and wanted to spend time with her baby. The filmmaker replaced Deepika with Triptii Dimri in his film by sharing the news on his social media account. Now, Neha Dhupia has come out in support of Deepika and shared the issue as a working mother. Taking to her Instagram stories, she shared a note tagging the Pathaan actress and wrote, 'For work-life balance to go beyond conversations, new moms need practical support and consideration. Instead, we often get shamed or sidelined. As a working mom, I support @deepikapadukone's reasonable request for fair and considerate working hours.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Earlier Ajay Devgn also shared his support for Deepika Padukone and had said, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people. Most of the honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. And apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-nine-hour shifts.' Filmmaker Mani Ratnam had also supported Padukone by calling her demand valid and News18, 'I think it is a rightful demand. I'm glad she's in a position to ask for it. I think as a filmmaker, you will take that into consideration when you cast. It is not an unreasonable thing to ask, but an absolute necessity. I think that should be the priority. You have to acknowledge that, understand it and work around it.' On the professional front, Deepika Padukone recently came on board for Atlee's directorial featuring Allu Arjun, which is tentatively titled AA22xA6. Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures is bankrolling the film.
