Zodiac signs that are great at telling lies
In astrology, every zodiac sign has its strengths and weaknesses. While honesty is a valued trait, some signs are naturally better at bending the truth when needed. Whether it's to avoid conflict, protect themselves, or simply charm their way through situations, certain zodiac signs are more skilled at telling lies convincingly.
This doesn't always mean they lie with bad intentions—it can sometimes be about adaptability or cleverness.
Gemini
Gemini is often considered the most skilled liar of the zodiac. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Geminis are quick thinkers and excellent talkers. They can easily switch stories, change tones, and adjust their expressions to suit the situation. Their dual nature allows them to see both sides, which can make their lies sound more believable.
Geminis don't always lie to hurt others—many times, it's just to keep things interesting or avoid drama.
Scorpio
Scorpios are secretive by nature and highly strategic. They may not lie often, but when they do, it's hard to catch them. They are excellent at hiding their true intentions and maintaining a calm and serious face while doing so. Scorpios usually lie only when it serves a deeper purpose or protects their emotions.

Their mysterious nature makes others believe them without question.
Libra
Libras value harmony and often lie to avoid conflict. They don't enjoy hurting others and may tell white lies to keep the peace. Libras are charming, smooth talkers, and socially intelligent, which makes their lies hard to detect. Their main aim is usually to maintain balance, not to deceive for personal gain.
Pisces
Pisces live in a world of emotions and imagination. Sometimes, they blur the line between reality and fantasy, which can lead to unintentional lies. They are good at creating emotional stories that sound convincing. Pisces may lie to avoid confrontation, protect their feelings, or escape from harsh realities.
While these signs may be more naturally gifted at telling lies, it's important to remember that lying is a choice, not a destiny. Many use their communication skills for positive and creative expression rather than deception.

Gujarat's tree cover records 17% decline over six years
Ahmedabad: Gujarat's tree cover has recorded a stark 17% decline over six years, falling from 8,034sq km in 2015-16 to 6,632sq km in 2021-22, in sharp contrast to other industrialised states, most of which reported substantial gains in the same period. According to data presented in a Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) report, Maharashtra led the growth with a 47.7% growth in tree cover — from 9,831sq km to 14,525sq km. Andhra Pradesh recorded a 42.3% expansion, Karnataka recorded a 36.1% increase, while Telangana, Haryana and Tamil Nadu saw their tree cover grow by 31.8%, 19.6% and 15% respectively. All these states have substantially industrialised. A senior forest official from Gujarat revealed the state's tree cover has experienced a long-term decline — shrinking from 8,358sq km in 2013 to 6,632.29 sq km, as per the latest Forest Survey of India (FSI) 2023 report, marking a 20.65% decrease over seven years. "The steepest fall came between 2019 and 2021 when the cover shrunk from 6,912sq km to 5,489sq km, largely due to diversion of reserve forests and open lands for industrial projects, including solar power," the official said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Even as the overall forest cover in Gujarat declined, the situation improved since 2021, according to forest officials. "We registered the highest increase in tree cover in the FSI 2023 report compared to the FSI 2021 report. Gujarat's tree cover currently stands at 3.38% of its geographical area, up from 2.8% earlier," said A P Singh, principal chief conservator of forests. In fact, Ahmedabad City, he added, has been the biggest loser of green cover among major cities in Gujarat since 2011. Environment experts blame it on rapid urbanisation and industrialisation. Environmentalists attribute the loss to rapid urbanisation and unchecked industrial growth. "The pace of industrialisation in Gujarat has been extremely rapid in recent years," said Mahesh Pandya, environmental engineer and director of Paryavaran Mitra. "As a result, forest land was often diverted for industrial use. Replantation and greening efforts haven't kept up with the pace of loss. Though we saw some recovery from 2021 to 2023, earlier gaps caused lasting depletion. What is urgently needed is focused, long-term intervention from the govt, complemented by community participation." Pandya also flagged future risks tied to ecological degradation. "Our mangrove belts are not dense enough to provide strong natural barriers. While survival rates of plantations improved, earlier negligence left coastal areas vulnerable. In the event of cyclones, the impact on the land side could be severe, with increased risk of salinity ingress," he warned. Environmental experts say Gujarat must urgently adopt a more decentralised and sustained greening approach to address climate vulnerabilities and ecological loss.

Experts flag indiscriminate vegetation removal along Vishwamitri
Vadodara: The group of experts appointed by the Gujarat State Human Rights Commission (GSHRC) to monitor the Vishwamitri river project has raised concerns over the indiscriminate removal of vegetation along the riverbanks. The group also noted that a comprehensive plantation plan for the river is yet to be developed. In its recent report submitted to the commission, the committee shared observations based on field visits, meetings with officials, and information provided by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) and other stakeholders. The report highlighted issues related to vegetation loss and riverbank stabilisation. It pointed out that vegetation had been unnecessarily removed from several areas along the riverbanks, even where there were no signs of debris or solid waste. This removal has resulted in steep to vertical slopes, making the banks vulnerable to erosion during the monsoon season. The report further noted that the clearing was carried out despite prior recommendations against disturbing such areas. A supplementary report later submitted by the group emphasized that several stretches on the eastern banks of the river had healthy vegetation and no visible debris. It recommended that these areas should remain untouched. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo At the same time, the report called for the systematic removal of invasive plant species along the river. The experts also noted the ecological importance of emergent and floating vegetation in the river, particularly for crocodile hatchlings. They advised that such vegetation should not be removed. The report added that biodiversity-rich islands have emerged in the river as a result of ongoing work and should be preserved. A high-level committee appointed by the state govt for flood mitigation in the city had earlier suggested initiating plantation efforts along the river. The GSHRC-appointed group echoed this recommendation but pointed out that, despite repeated suggestions, a scientifically designed plantation plan has yet to be prepared. The report recommended engaging an ecological consultant to develop, implement, and monitor such a plan in a systematic and scientific manner.

Badibata to mark repoening of schools across Andhra Pradesh today
Vijayawada: As the 2025-26 academic year begins on Thursday, schools across Andhra Pradesh are buzzing with excitement. Following instructions from State IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh, the education department has made elaborate arrangements to mark the reopening day with a grand celebration. As per the official date, a total of 58,950 schools, including 44,617 govt schools, 13,249 private recognized schools, and 84 private-aided schools, will simultaneously reopen on Thursday. To welcome students back, the govt has launched a statewide programme called 'Badibata.' As part of this initiative, teachers will greet students with enthusiasm and provide them with specially prepared school kits containing textbooks, notebooks, uniforms, shoes, belts, and other essential supplies. Teachers will also introduce students to the new class curriculum through orientation sessions. In addition to the festivities, the education department is taking steps to address the issue of school dropouts. Headmasters and class teachers will conduct a review of admissions and dropouts, verifying how many new students have joined and investigating reasons behind any withdrawals. A week-long school dropout survey will also be conducted, where teachers will visit students' homes to understand the cause of absenteeism and counsel parents to re-enroll their children. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I lost my wife, now my son is in danger, please help him!

Lists of non-recognized schools will be publicly released in each district. Guntur DEO CV Renuka emphasized that the approach will be child-friendly, focusing on making the transition from vacation to school enjoyable and stress-free. "We want school reopening to be memorable for every child," she said. "Our approach is child-friendly—gradually introducing students to learning through games and songs."
