Have performed there in the past, but will never visit Turkey again: Bhoomi Trivedi
Bhoomi Trivedi I have performed in Turkey multiple times. My last visit was in 2022 for a pre-wedding event and I had a good time, as it's a beautiful country. A vacation in Turkey was on my bucket list but after what has happened in the last few days, I will never visit Turkey again,' shares Bhoomi Trivedi. Talking about Turkey's support for Pakistan after Operation Sindoor, the singer adds, 'After the devastating earthquake in Turkey (in 2023), we did our best as a country to help them. While we don't expect anything in return, supporting a country (Pakistan) that has been funding terrorists to hurt India is unacceptable. One needs to be grateful in life, isn't it? I got some souvenirs from Turkey during my last trip. I was so angry and hurt when I got to know about their support for Pakistan that I immediately trashed them.' 'It's time to stay united and boycott countries that are against us' Talking about Indian tourists cancelling their trips to Turkey, Bhoomi says, 'I fully support it. Recently, I read about how 800 Gujaratis cancelled their Turkey trip and felt proud of them. We have the spirit to fight but can't go to the border. If Turkey wants to support the act of terrorism (by Pakistan), due to which our innocent civilians and brave soldiers have lost their lives, the least we can do as citizens is to stay united and boycott countries that are against us. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo That's what true patriotism is all about.' She adds, 'After the Pahalgam attack, India's response was very measured. We only targeted terror camps in Pakistan and did not intend to harm any civilians. But still, Pakistan launched an all-out attack, targeted our civilians, and Turkey supported them. I am grateful to our Armed Forces for always protecting us. A lot of Indians opt for destination weddings in Turkey. I would urge them to cancel those plans. Our country has so many beautiful destinations that can be explored. ' 'Extremely disappointed with Pakistani artistes saying bad things about India' Bhoomi recalls getting an invite in 2016 to perform in Lahore. She shares, 'In 2016, my team got an email invite, requesting that I consider performing in Lahore. Just as we were discussing what to do next, the Uri attack happened. My mom called me up and said, 'I know you have been invited to perform in Pakistan. But after what has happened in Uri, if you go there, you don't belong to us.' I had decided back then itself to never perform in Pakistan. ' She adds, 'I am disappointed that Pakistani artistes, who have worked here and received immense love from our audience, are defaming India for its retaliatory action against terrorists. Instead of condemning Pakistan's support for terror groups, they are criticising India.' Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Deshpande-led panel favours better management of govt.-run temples in Karnataka
The Karnataka Administrative Reforms Commission, headed by veteran Congress leader and MLA R.V. Deshpande, has proposed over 189 reforms in various departments, especially the establishment of a comprehensive framework for better management of the State's 34,500 temples. The commission has proposed the creation of a temple task force to handle crowd control, emergency responses, ticketing, and distribution of prasad during festivals and large special events at temples. Mr. Deshpande submitted the commission's eighth report to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday and new recommendations, aimed at revitalising key sectors such as temple management, food and civil supplies, government recruitment, healthcare to bring in better governance, transparency, and accountability in the delivery of public services. The panel is in favour of delegating the power to sanction new staff posts to the Endowment Commissioner, bypassing the current dependency on Finance Department approval in order to increase efficiency in temple operations and transparency. The temple staff salaries are funded by temple income and not the State Budget. So, the recommendation is expected to speed up appointments without additional financial burden on the government. To ensure transparency and check corruption in recruitment, and enhance the integrity of exams conducted by the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) and the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), the commission stated the installation of CCTV surveillance, mobile jammers, secure storage of question papers and answer sheets were mandatory, and a two-tier exam system to reduce candidate volumes and enhance monitoring. For providing digital governance, the commission recommended modernisation of frontline offices such as gram panchayats, primary health centres, raitha seva kendras, and police stations. The report noted that many of these offices currently lack basic infrastructure such as adequate hardware, Internet connectivity, and furniture. It has proposed streamlining the process of issuing ration cards through the integration of State-run platforms such as Bhoomi, Aadhar, Kutumba and Seva Sindhu. After submitting the report, Mr. Deshpande told reporters that the commission had previously made 5,039 recommendations in its earlier seven reports and 30% of them were implemented.
