Charity Chaos: Harry Breaks Silence After Sentebale Investigation Ends
Prince Harry has broken his silence following the UK Charity Commission's investigation into Sentebale, the African charity he co-founded. While the Commission cleared him of any wrongdoing, finding no evidence of racism, bullying, or misogyny, Harry says the reputational damage is already done, and it's the vulnerable children who will suffer. Tensions within the organisation reportedly began after internal clashes with current chair Dr Sophie Chandauka. By March 2025, Harry and the entire board resigned, claiming they could no longer work with her. His team alleges she refused to step down and instead sued to retain her position. Though the final report blamed no one, it sharply criticised Sentebale's leadership for mishandling internal disputes.

SSC Defers CGL Exam 2025 To September, Orders Re-Test For 55,000 Candidates

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) on Friday announced that the Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGLE) 2025, originally scheduled to begin on August 13, has been deferred. The exam will now begin in the first week of September, and a revised schedule for CGL and other upcoming exams will be uploaded soon on the Commission's official website. This development comes amid SSC's shift to a revised model of Computer Based Examinations (CBEs), in compliance with directions from the Supreme Court in Writ Petition (Civil) 234 of 2018. As part of this change, Aadhaar-based authentication for both candidates and examination staff was introduced during the Selection Post Phase 13 examination held between July 24 and August 1 at 194 centres nationwide. Of the 11.5 lakh applicants, over 5.5 lakh appeared for the exam. However, the Commission acknowledged that "during the conduct of the above examination, there were disruptions to certain candidates in taking the exam, owing to technical factors and operational reasons." The SSC said many of these candidates were identified and rescheduled in alternate shifts until August 1. "In addition, on 2nd August 2025, exams were conducted in three shifts for more such candidates identified and about 8,000 candidates appeared for these tests," it added. Following this, a detailed post-exam analysis was carried out. "On analysis of the logs pertaining to all shifts held till 2nd August, about 55,000 candidates have been identified, in respect of whom, there are gaps in data and in order to set the record straight, these candidates deserve the benefit of doubt," the SSC said in its official notice. "Accordingly, the Commission has decided that for these candidates another opportunity would be provided to take their test on Friday, the 29th August 2025." Admit cards for the re-exam will be available from August 26, and communication will be sent to the affected candidates via their registered mobile numbers and email IDs. The SSC also clarified that these candidates' previous attempts will not be counted. Meanwhile, the Commission has initiated a comprehensive review of the examination platform and operational readiness, which has contributed to the decision to defer the CGLE 2025. In a related development, the SSC announced that the One Time Registration (OTR) edit window, which was previously disabled, will reopen from August 14 to August 31, 2025. Candidates will be allowed to update their OTR details during this period, after which no further changes will be permitted. Applications for upcoming examinations will begin in September 2025.

Commission orders Rs 8L relief after train passenger falls off coach, dies

Dharwad: In a significant verdict, holding the Railways accountable for service deficiency, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (DCDRC) has ordered South Western Railway (SWR), Hubballi, to pay Rs 8 lakh as compensation to the wife of a train accident victim. One Keertivathi, a resident of Keshavanagar in Hubballi, was travelling with her husband Sudhindra Kulkarni from Yeshwanthpur to Shivamogga by train. Around midnight, while Sudhindra went to use the washroom, he accidentally fell off the coach through one of its open doors. Keerthivathi, in her complaint to the Commission, alleged that SWR had collected money from the complainant for a reserved seat, but there was neither a TTE nor any security staff member in the compartment. The Railway staff had also failed to ensure that the compartment doors were properly shut, the complaint said, highlighting negligence on the part of the mass transporter. According to Railways rules, in the event of death in a train accident, the victim's family is eligible for a compensation of Rs 8 lakh. However, SWR argued that this compensation must be claimed through the Railway Tribunal, and that the Consumer Commission does not have jurisdiction to hear such claims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Challenging this argument, the complainant approached DCDRC, claiming that the refusal to provide compensation amounted to service deficiency under the Consumer Protection Act. After detailed hearings, the Commission comprising chairman Eshappa Bhute and member Vishalakshi Bolashetti held that since the deceased was travelling on a valid ticket and Railways was the service provider, the complainant was qualified as a consumer to file a case with DCDRC. Rejecting the Railways' claim that the matter was beyond DCDRC's jurisdiction, the Commission directed SWR, Hubballi, to pay Rs 8 lakh as insurance claim and an additional Rs 10,000 towards legal expenses within one month of the order.
