No smoke, no noise—just fresh air and pure effort. In today's time, when pollution is rising, activities like cycling help us feel more connected to nature and remind us to live a cleaner, healthier life. ' The Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri actor further adds, 'My bond with cycling goes back to childhood. Whether it was going to school, racing with friends, or simply riding through the streets, the cycle was always with me. I've fallen many times, got bruised knees, but never gave up riding. I still remember how excited I used to feel seeing my elder brother or neighbours riding a cycle—I wanted to do the same. Back then, we didn't think about its health benefits; it just felt fun. Now, even with my busy shooting schedule for Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, I make sure to include cycling in my workout. I may not always get time to cycle outdoors, but the gym's stationary cycle has become my best friend. Even 20–30 minutes a day helps me feel recharged and refreshed after a long shoot.' Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri is the story of Gauri, a brave and kind girl whose strong faith helps her face life's biggest problems. She is forced into a marriage and becomes the daughter-in-law of the Bundela family.

Kolkata Police arrests six for operating fake call centre
K olkata: The Cyber Police Station on Tuesday arrested six persons for allegedly operating an illegal call centre that targeted US residents through various tech support scams. The arrests were made between 4 am and 4:35 am at a ground floor facility on Diamond Harbour Road. The accused have been identified as Aman Sharma (25), Deepak Singh (26), Rahul Das (30), Avinash Singh (21), Sudhir Kumar Mahato (28), and Pratik Kumar Singh (27). The cops stated that the accused used organised money transfer routes and even cryptocurrency to trick their victims. According to police, the suspects posed as representatives of Microsoft and Norton, making Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls to US residents. They allegedly defrauded victims by gaining remote access to their computers and siphoning money from their accounts. "The group operated a sophisticated scam operation using advanced technology to appear legitimate to their victims," said a senior cyber police official who requested anonymity as the investigation is ongoing. Police recovered ₹3,50,500 in cash, five laptops, nine mobile phones, and three multimedia headphones from the premises. Additional evidence, including VoIP diallers and remote access software, were also seized. The accused have been charged under multiple sections of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and BNS Act, 2023, including provisions related to computer-related offences, identity theft, and cheating by personation. "This arrest highlights our ongoing efforts to combat cyber fraud operations targeting international victims," the official added. "We urge citizens to remain vigilant and never share remote access to their devices with unknown callers." The suspects were produced before the court on Tuesday with a police remand request. The investigation continues as authorities work to determine the full extent of the financial losses and identify potential additional perpetrators.

Unfair Weather Warriors
Aman Sharma is a student of environmental studies at the University of Pennsylvania. But this 21-year-old Delhiite has other interests too. He's been an avid birdwatcher since the age of 14, chasing rare birds across India's many national parks with his camera. However, birdwatchers like him are now reporting fewer sightings in India, particularly of migratory species, due to various factors including urbanisation, climate change, and habitat loss. Sharma is also the co-founder of the Re-Earth Initiative, a youth-led international NGO on a mission to make the climate movement accessible to all. Ask him what drives his high engagement with climate activism, and he says, 'There is so much anxiety about the unpredictability of the future right now, about losing the world as we know it and not being able to pass it on to our future generations. A divide has arisen across the world, where on the one side you have countries moving towards cleaner goals and on the other, there are countries dismissing climate action. The climate crisis is reaching its full potential, which is leading to eco-anxiety. But we need to channel that anxiety and use it for constructive work right now. That's what I'm doing.' A study conducted in 2024 by the Centre for Science and Environment, Delhi interviewed over 1,900 people between the ages of 14 and 25 years. 94 per cent of respondents attested to being directly impacted by climate change in a number of ways. That ranged from the closure of schools and colleges and limited outdoor activities to adverse effects on their family's livelihood and health. Over 50 per cent of those interviewed also admitted to feeling increased stress or anxiety related to climate concerns.
