Mumbai women hang on to footboard of moving train after Kalyan Ladies Special delayed by 40 mins. Watch
In a shocking incident, a group of women were seen travelling in a local train in Mumbai, not inside but outside of it. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), an account named Mumbai Railway Users posted the brief clip sharing details of what prompted the women to travel in such a manner.
In the video, the women held onto the train as they stood on a footboard hanging outside. One of them was also heard screaming. Another woman quickly turned her face away when she saw they were being recorded. As per the post, the Kalyan Ladies Special was delayed by 40 minutes forcing them to take this step. The train plies between Kalyan and Mumbai CST.
The video was shared with the caption, "#ViralVideo #CRFixLocalTrainDelays Today's Ladies Special from Kalyan was delayed by 40 mins, forcing women to hang on the footboard—an unsafe and risky commute. Railways term this dangerous, yet delays continue. @AshwiniVaishnaw, pls review the delay data." The official account of Railway Seva wrote, "For necessary action escalated to the concerned official."
A person commented, "It is a daily chorus of bona fide passengers and taxpayers, @AshwiniVaishnaw. Hon'ble Minister should take appropriate actions to save the life and Lifeline of MMR citizens." A comment read, 'No one forced them. They just value their life less. There is always a next train late to waise bhi hua hai.'
A tweet read, "This is a very serious issue every mumbaikar has to survive due to the delay of all the trains." Another person asked, "Why do local trains move at all if they are overloaded. It's the Railways and @grpmumbairesponsibility to ensure Passenger safety. This has always been overlooked. And it's time to change."
A tweet read, 'What is happening nowadays daily local trains are running late, and after asking on social media their is no answer from railway authority?' A person tweeted, 'This is not just a delay, this is the everyday scene.'
Another news about the railways emerged a few days ago, when a YouTuber was reportedly assaulted by pantry staff at night. He had allegedly filed a complaint about overpriced food.
The Ministry of Railways wrote on X, 'After a detailed investigation into the incident involving the mishandling of a passenger on Train No. 14609 Hemkunt Express by the on-board catering staff, @IRCTCofficial has terminated its catering contract with Hotel Rajasthan with immediate effect.'

Chopper To Kedarnath Makes Emergency Landing On Highway, Passengers Safe
Kedarnath: A helicopter, with five passengers onboard, made an emergency landing in the middle of a highway on today. The chopper, which was owned by Kestrel Aviation Private Limited, was en route from Rudraprayag to Kedarnath in Uttarakhand. The chopper took off at 12:52 pm from the Badasu (Sersi) helipad and landed immediately at the main road in Guptkashi, Rudraprayag district. It experienced a technical snag during take-off, with the collective control getting stuck. The pilot, Captain RPS Sodhi, landed the chopper on the highway adjacent to the helipad to avoid any mishaps. In the video, released by news agency ANI on X (formerly known as Twitter), we can see the helicopter parked in the middle of a road with locals rushing towards the site. A car was damaged in the incident. The pilot sustained minor injuries during the emergency landing and was taken to the hospital, district tourism development officer Rahul Chaubey said. All passengers are safe and unharmed, Mr Chaubey added. Speaking to ANI, Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority said that the rest of the shuttle services are proceeding as normal. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DCGA) has been informed about the matter, UCADA added. According to the DGCA, Kestrel Aviation's AW119 (Reg. VT-RNK) helicopter made a hard landing on the road. 'A team from DAS(NR) is being sent for onsite assessment,' the agency said. This is the latest in a string of helicopter-related incidents reported on the Chardham Yatra route in the past month. A few weeks earlier, an air ambulance helicopter made an emergency landing in Kedarnath due to a technical snag. The chopper reportedly suffered a malfunction in its tail rotor, leading to difficulties in landing. The ambulance had come to Kedarnath to rescue a pilgrim who was reportedly suffering from respiratory distress. The 'Sanjeevani' helicopter ambulance was operated by the Rishikesh branch of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), as reported by news agency PTI. Two doctors and the pilot inside the craft were safe, district tourism development officer Rahul Chaubey said. On May 8, six people, including a pilot, died after their helicopter crash near Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi. The chopper was flying from Dehradun to Harsil helipad. Five of the people who lost their lives were female tourists- Kala Soni (61), Vijaya Reddy (57), Ruchi Aggarwal (56), Radha Aggarwal (79) and Vedavati Kumari (48).

From Rs 5 to Rs 2,300: India's humble Parle-G is a luxury in Gaza; a father's viral post shows war reality
NEW DELHI: In India, Parle-G biscuits are synonymous with simplicity, a nostalgic tea-time snack, a budget-friendly staple found in almost every household. In war-ravaged Gaza, however, the iconic Indian biscuit has taken on a grim new identity: a luxury item, symbolising the desperation of a population teetering on the brink of famine. A viral social media post by Mohammed Jawad, a Palestinian living in Gaza, has spotlighted the stark realities of wartime scarcity. The video shows his young daughter, Rafif, clutching a pack of Parle-G biscuits, a rare treat in a region suffering from an acute food crisis. Jawad revealed he paid more than €24 (approximately Rs 2,342) for the packet, which usually costs less than Rs 5 in Indian markets and around Rs 100 in international grocery stores. 'Even though the price jumped from €1.5 to over €24, I just couldn't deny Rafif her favorite treat,' he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), capturing hearts — and shock — across the globe, particularly among Indian users for whom Parle-G is an enduring symbol of affordability and childhood. His post quickly went viral on social media with many Indian users tagging government officials and the Parle company for help. A user wrote: "India sent Parle G to Palestinians as an Aid but Aid trucks get captured by Hamas and they sell the food and medicines in black to the hungry Palestinians. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¿Tienes $105?

This is the real face of the so-called resistance exploiting the misery of innocents." Replying to the post, Jawad said, "Some people think the aid that comes for the people of Gaza is distributed fairly. But the truth is that the occupation has recruited many agents and thieves to steal this aid and sell it on the market at sky-high prices. For example, flour is sold for around $500, and sugar is sold for about $90 per kilogram. All basic goods are sold at insane prices. Some people, who can't afford to buy, risk their lives just to get what they need. Meanwhile, others steal large quantities and sell them in the market for huge profits." This extraordinary price spike is a direct result of the ongoing humanitarian disaster unfolding in Gaza. Since the breakdown of a ceasefire in March, Israel has imposed a near-total blockade on aid entering the Palestinian enclave. The restriction has triggered a sharp surge in malnutrition rates, especially among children, and has devastated local supply chains. According to a UN report released on Thursday, the rate of acute malnutrition in children under five in Gaza has nearly tripled since February. Of nearly 50,000 children screened in late May, 5.8 per cent were diagnosed with acute malnutrition — up from 4.7 per cent just weeks earlier. The figure marks a dramatic rise from the situation in February, when a temporary pause in hostilities had allowed for freer aid flow, news agency Reuters reported. The UN-backed "nutrition cluster" also noted a spike in cases of severe acute malnutrition, a deadly condition that leaves children extremely vulnerable to infections. Treatment centers in northern Gaza and Rafah have reportedly been forced to shut down due to lack of medical supplies, damage from the ongoing conflict, or targeted attacks — claims Israel denies, maintaining that some facilities are used by Hamas for military operations. Doctors donating blood, children dying of starvation In a harrowing statement, the international medical NGO Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said doctors in Gaza are now donating their own blood to treat patients, following incidents where dozens of civilians were gunned down while trying to access food aid. Palestinian officials reported at least 29 starvation-related deaths, mostly among children and the elderly — in just a few days last month. These figures come amid growing scrutiny of aid distribution mechanisms and mounting criticism of Israel's restrictions, even as Tel Aviv insists it vets all aid to prevent diversion by Hamas, a charge the group denies.

Did Miley Cyrus Shade Ex-Husband Liam Hemsworth? Subtle Nudge to Fan With Same Name Creates Buzz
Miley Cyrus is once again making headlines, this time for a subtle message that many fans believe was aimed at her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth. During a recent meet and greet, a fan named Liam asked Cyrus to sign his vinyl copy of her new album, Something Beautiful. The pop star responded with a personal note: 'The best Liam.' The message was shared online by the fan, who posted a photo of the signed vinyl to X (formerly Twitter) on June 4. The writing, in black cursive on the album sleeve, caught fans' attention almost immediately. Given that the fan shares the same first name as the Hunger Games actor, many interpreted it as a light jab at Hemsworth, whom Cyrus was married to for two years before finalizing their divorce in 2020. The fan added to the humor by posting a photo of himself with Cyrus at the event. In the picture, both are smiling widely with the signed vinyl placed on the table between them. He captioned it, 'Me when I'm the best Liam,' leaning into the subtle shade that fans are now discussing across social media. Miley Cyrus has largely kept her split from Liam Hemsworth private in recent years, but she hasn't shied away from referencing the emotional challenges she faced during that time. Just last month, while previewing Something Beautiful for fans in New York, she reflected on a turning point in their relationship. 'When my house burned down,' she said on May 6, as reported by PEOPLE, 'a lot of my relationships also burned down.' The couple's Malibu home was destroyed in the November 2018 California wildfires, and Cyrus has since described the incident as a major shift in her life. The singer shared that while it was a painful time, it ultimately pushed her toward healing and growth. 'I think what I would have told my younger self is to appreciate those darker times,' she added. 'Because, like I said, they are only leading you into the light.' Cyrus has since moved on both personally and professionally. She is currently dating musician Maxx Morando and continues to explore her music with her latest project, Something Beautiful. The album touches on personal themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
