Lizards in your home? Follow this step-by-step guide to get rid of them
Lizards seek shelter in dark, undisturbed areas. Keep your home tidy by removing piles of clothes, papers, and other clutter where lizards can hide.4. USE NATURAL REPELLENTSCertain smells deter lizards. Spray a mixture of water and cayenne pepper or chili powder around entry points and corners. Alternatively, place crushed garlic or onion in areas where lizards are frequently seen.5. INSTALL REFLECTIVE SURFACESLizards are wary of bright, reflective surfaces. Hang CDs, aluminum foil strips, or mirrors near windows and doors to create an environment that discourages lizards from entering.6. UTILISE NATURAL PREDATORSCats are natural hunters and can help keep lizard populations in check. Having a cat in your home may discourage lizards from settling in.7. MAINTAIN OUTDOOR AREASTrim overgrown vegetation and remove debris from around your home. This reduces potential hiding spots for lizards and the insects they feed on.8. USE COMMERCIAL REPELLENTSIf natural methods are ineffective, consider using commercial lizard repellents available in the market. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe and effective use.By implementing these strategies, you can create an environment that is less inviting to lizards, ensuring a more comfortable and hygienic living space.- EndsMust Watch

India's 1st animal stem cell biobank, lab to boost regenerative medicine & therapies for livestock
New Delhi: India on Saturday got the first animal stem cell biobank and animal stem cell laboratory that will focus on regenerative medicine and therapies for livestock. Inaugurated by Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology, Dr. Jitendra Singh, the biobank and lab is situated at the National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB), Hyderabad. The cutting-edge facility of Animal BioBank is spread over 9,300 sq ft and has been constructed at a cost of RS 1.85 crore. The laboratory is equipped with a stem cell culture unit, 3D bioprinter, bacterial culture lab, cryostorage, autoclave rooms, advanced air handling systems, and uninterrupted power backup. It will advance research in disease modelling, tissue engineering, and reproductive biotechnology. With support from the National Biopharma Mission (NBM) of DBT–BIRAC, the facility will be expanded to enable biobanking of animal stem cells and their derivatives. 'We had such facilities for human stem cells, but hardly any for animal cells. The best of NIAB, and the best of Indian biotechnology, is yet to come,' Singh said, adding that these facilities will contribute "to making India future-ready". 'We will not lag behind when the next industrial revolution—driven by biotechnology—takes over. The economy will shift from manufacturing to regenerative and genetic processes, and India has already initiated this transition,' he added. The Minister also laid the foundation stone of a new hostel block and Type-IV quarters at NIAB, approved by the Department of Biotechnology at a total cost of Rs 19.98 crore. The infrastructure will cater to the needs of research scholars, faculty, and staff, fostering a vibrant academic and innovation ecosystem. In addition, Singh launched innovative veterinary diagnostic tools designed to revolutionise animal health management and support the 'One Health' approach. These include a field-deployable, DIVA-capable diagnostic kit for early and accurate detection of Brucella species; a cost-effective on-site diagnostic assay for subclinical and clinical mastitis in dairy cattle; a portable antimicrobial sensitivity testing device providing results within two hours to promote responsible antibiotic use; a sensitive and specific test for Toxoplasma gondii infection in animals; an indigenously developed rapid strip for large-scale surveillance of Japanese Encephalitis in animals and humans. 'These innovations will boost agriculture-linked GDP, enhance livestock productivity, and pave the way for an 'Evergreen Revolution' in the animal husbandry sector,' the Minister emphasised. On the agricultural front, 'these releases mark a new phase of animal-based agricultural productivity -- an 'Evergreen Revolution'. With 18 per cent of GDP from agriculture and 60 per cent of our workforce depending on it, innovations in veterinary health will have a transformative impact,' he said. 'One rupee spent on agricultural research yields a return of Rs 13, and linking industry partners from day one ensures these technologies reach the ground,' Singh added.

What Rahul Gandhi's vote ‘chori' allegations reveal about our democracy
On August 7, Rahul Gandhi addressed a press conference about vote chori executed in the Mahadevapura assembly segment of Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency. The evidence presented is based on an independent investigation conducted by the Congress party's research team, which painstakingly analysed voter data to unearth a story the public deserved to know. As revealed, in this assembly segment, 1,00,250 fake votes were planted by the BJP with the help of the Election Commission of India (ECI) to win the Lok Sabha seat in 2024. Given the magnitude of this fraud, it is hard to dismiss it as 'clerical error'. Instead, it hints at a deliberate and systematic manipulation of the voter's list. In Mahadevapura, thousands of voters are registered at house number 'zero'. Octogenarians are registered as 'first-time voters' on rolls meant for 18-year-olds. Phantom residents of breweries and commercial spaces are enrolled en masse. Thousands of electors had blurred/missing/too-tiny-to-identify photos on voter rolls. Thousands of others are registered to vote at multiple booths, sometimes across states, and they also vote more than once. This has raised critical questions about the credibility of the ECI, the sanctity of the electoral process, and the legitimacy of each and every elected representative across India. If the referee is not neutral, there is no sport. If the Election Commission is not impartial, there is no democracy. And if there is no democracy, there is no India as we claim to know it. Potentially, India is being ruled by the unelected, imposed through fraud. The question that haunts the Indian public is: If it happened in Bangalore Central, what's the guarantee it didn't happen everywhere? The answer is none. The scope of this scam is impossible to assess, given the limited resources. The only way to audit the electoral rolls of the entire country is to automate the process. In order to be able to do so, we would need digital/machine-readable electoral rolls of all the constituencies. Then, an unbiased, apolitical computer programme can analyse the electoral rolls — constituency after constituency — to produce an indisputable report card on their accuracy. If proven correct, it will immensely enhance the credibility of the ECI that maintains these rolls and the BJP, which happens to be in power at the centre and in the majority of the states/ UTs. The ECI and the ruling party should welcome this idea. Why? Because any democratic institution that trusts its functioning and processes should not be threatened by scrutiny. On the contrary, the ECI has left no stone unturned to make independent scrutiny increasingly difficult. It proposes to destroy CCTV footage from polling booths — the very evidence that could confirm or disprove these allegations. It has categorically refused to release digital electoral rolls despite the fact that such data exists in digital form. What they have given us instead are multiple 7 ft tall stacks of paper rolls for one assembly seat. We could still have extracted the data through Optical Character Recognition (OCR), a technology that recognises text within a digital image and would make it considerably easier for us to digitise the paper rolls supplied by the ECI. But the ECI deliberately provides non-machine-readable rolls that are immune to OCR. This only solidifies the apprehensions that the ECI, indeed, had something to hide. Otherwise, why else would it try tooth and nail to rule out any possibility of an independent scrutiny? Consequently, our team, which was earlier determined to analyse the electoral rolls of multiple constituencies, was forced to sift through the electoral rolls of just one assembly segment in one Lok Sabha seat because it had to be done manually – line by line – a process that took six months and thousands of man-hours. This seat, we found, was rigged with a lakh fake votes. When the results of a people's election are treated as proprietary property, we are no longer talking about open competition. We are talking about a scoreboard hidden from the very citizens who make the game possible. Retrospectively, it also became clear why the ECI has been resisting sharing digital/machine-readable data. Instead of engaging with hard evidence, the ECI is resorting to half-baked reactions. It first sought that Rahul Gandhi submit documentary proof of all 1,00,250 fake votes, under oath. Even the ECI is certainly unsure about the rule under which this oath has been demanded. Nevertheless, the BJP had hoped that it would use this oath as a smokescreen to launch a mudslinging operation against Rahul Gandhi in the media and the social media. Many BJP functionaries, godi media personnel and influencers jumped the gun. Some discredit the evidence-backed investigation by peddling disinformation and misinformation, and still others dismiss the prospect of any independent investigations into the functioning of the ECI. Much to the BJP's horror, however, this exercise is no longer confined to the Congress party alone. In fact, it has already spilled far beyond partisan boundaries. Concerned citizens, journalists, digital influencers, domain experts, and members of civil society have voluntarily stepped in, taking ownership of the process. They are independently examining electoral data, cross-checking official records, and publicly challenging the BJP's narrative — essentially turning this from a party investigation into a people's investigation. A striking example came on August 8. BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya posted photos on X of three voters of a family holding their EPIC cards. Rahul Gandhi had spoken about this family in his press conference as part of thousands of voters on the Mahadevapura rolls who had indistinguishable photos, and hence were likely to be bogus voters. Malviya's point was that these voters did indeed exist in real life. But his attempt backfired. Independent users on social media quickly noticed that the EPIC numbers on the cards in Malviya's photos did not match the EPIC numbers on the electoral rolls for people with the same details, leaving Malviya red-faced. But more importantly, Malviya's defence of the indefensible only incriminated the Election Commission further. This is what the BJP has forever feared — an informed citizenry that is empowered to think independently and ask questions. Guardianship of democracy must extend beyond Parliament — to courts willing to interrogate procedure, technologists capable of exposing manipulation, media that are still committed to truth-telling, and citizens who know that without verifiability, the vote is theatre. That is the invitation now — not to save democracy, but to reinvent it. To demand digital/machine-readable voter data. To insist on CCTV preservation and procedural audits. To refuse to let the vote be stolen in silence. Because this is no longer about one party, one election, or one seat. It is about every Indian's right to vote.

Budihal reaches historic Asian Surfing Championship final
Ramesh Budihal rode the waves of history on Saturday, becoming the first Indian surfer to reach the final of the Asian Surfing Championship, taking place at the iconic Point Break in Mamallapuram. Despite the challenging conditions, Budihal secured the second place in his semifinal heat with two crucial rides of 5.50 and 5.93 for a total of 11.43 points. The Indian edged China's Shidong Wu (9.03) and compatriot Kishore Kumar (8.10) to enter the last four. Indonesia's Pajar Ariyana (13.83) claimed the top spot. 'I'm really grateful to be in the final. I wasn't expecting myself to get through,' Budihal said. 'My start wasn't good, and it was difficult to get the flow back. But I knew I needed to reset my mind in the last few minutes, pick the right wave, and go for it.' Budihal's journey began in Kovalam, Kerala, where he joined the Sebastian Indian Social Project (SISP) and started surfing with the Kovalam Surf Club. 'I didn't get much support at first. My family was afraid of getting lost at sea and worried about my future. But when I started winning events, they began to support me.' Budihal has steadily built his game over the last few years. He has consistently ranked in the top three of the National Surf Series, and in 2024, he finished the season as India's No. 1 male surfer. 'Budihal has always had the potential. He was one of the early sparks we had,' Arun Vasu, president of the Surfing Federation of India (SFI), told The Hindu. Tough competition Budihal now faces tough competition from Indonesian stars Mega Artana and Ariyana, and South Korea's Kanoa Heejae, all vying for the crown. He has already contributed valuable points for India to secure additional quotas for the 2026 Asian Games.
