Punjab: SGPC panel meets Takht Patna Sahib mgmt over edict dispute
In an effort to resolve the ongoing controversy stemming from the rejection of an edict issued by the Akal Takht, a delegation from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) met with the management committee of Takht Sri Patna Sahib on Thursday. The meeting aimed to address the discord caused after the Panj Pyare (five beloved ones) of Takht Patna Sahib opposed the directive from the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhism. The SGPC delegation included senior vice-president Raghujit Singh Virk, members Gurcharan Singh Grewal and Gurbachan Singh Karmunwala, and assistant secretary Jaswinder Singh Jassi. The team was constituted by SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami specifically to engage in dialogue with the leadership of the Bihar-based Takht and seek a resolution to the conflict. Speaking after the meeting, SGPC member Gurcharan Singh Grewal stated that the differences following the Akal Takht's edict had significantly impacted the Sikh community. 'To address the situation, the SGPC chief formed this committee to hold discussions with the Takht Patna Sahib management. The aim is to restore harmony through dialogue,' he said. Grewal added that the Takht Patna Sahib committee had expressed its support for the edict issued by its Panj Pyare. 'We conveyed the SGPC's position, which aligns with the Akal Takht's directive. Despite the disagreement, both sides are committed to resolving the issue amicably,' he stated. The SGPC committee will now prepare and submit a detailed report of the meeting to the SGPC president for further action.

Khan Sir marries in quiet ceremony, reveals wife's name, 'photo' to students in viral video
Popular YouTube educator Khan Sir has revealed in one of his videos that he got married in an intimate ceremony earlier this month, according to viral clips circulating on social media. In one of the clips, the well-known educator from Bihar shared with his students that he opted out of a big celebration due to India-Pakistan tensions following Operation Sindoor. "I got married while India-Pakistan tensions were still rising. I did not tell anyone. You [my students] are the first to know about this because I am who I am today because of my students. I'm planning to host a feast for you all on June 6," he said. The educator, whose real name is reported to be Faisal Khan—though he has never confirmed it—said that while his wedding date was set, his family chose not to hold a grand celebration amid the rising tensions. Khan Sir also revealed that his family arranged the marriage. "My younger brothers and mother got the wedding done. I couldn't say no to my mother," he added. In several viral clips where the teacher shared the news with his students, loud cheers were heard as many asked him to show a photo of his bride. Never missing a chance to joke with his students, the educator quickly turned around and drew a woman's face with curly hair, saying, "Ditto, like this. She looks exactly like this, same to same. Do you think I don't draw well?" he quipped, as his students laughed and cheered. While the Bihar-based educator tends to keep his personal life private, he did share the name of his bride: AS Khan. Earlier this year, Khan Sir joined protests over the cancellation of the 70th Combined Competitive Examination (CCE), conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC).

Maoist commander killed in police encounter in Jharkhand's Latehar
RANCHI: Maoist commander Manish Yadav, who had a bounty of ₹5 lakh on his head, was killed in an encounter with security forces in Latehar in Jharkhand late Sunday night. Meanwhile, another wanted Maoist, Kundar Kherwar, who carried a reward of ₹10 lakh, was arrested from the encounter site. According to police officials, the gunfight took place in the forests of Karamkhad and Dauna under the Mahuadanr Police Station in Latehar. An intensive search operation is underway in the area to locate other Maoists believed to be hiding in the jungles. Police sources said the encounter began late Sunday night and continued until Monday morning. During the post-encounter search operation, the body of a Maoist was recovered and later identified as Manish Yadav. Palamu DIG Y.S. Ramesh confirmed the incident. "Following a tip-off that Maoist Manish Yadav had been seen in the forest with his squad, a police team was formed, and a search operation was launched. However, as soon as the Maoists spotted the security forces, they opened fire. The security forces retaliated, killing Manish Yadav on the spot," said DIG Ramesh. Two automatic rifles and other daily-use items were recovered from the site. With the elimination of Manish Yadav, the leadership of Bihar-based Maoist units in the Budha Pahad training center has effectively ended. A resident of Chhakarbandha in Gaya district, Yadav was considered the last top Maoist commander from Bihar active in the Budha Pahad region. He had been operating in the area for over a decade. Manish Yadav began as an ordinary cadre in the Maoist squad and gradually rose to the rank of sub-zonal commander. His in-laws reportedly live in the same area where the encounter occurred. This marks the second major success for the Jharkhand Police in recent days. On Friday night, Jharkhand Jan Mukti Parishad (JJMP) commander Pappu Lohra and sub-zonal commander Prabhat Ganjhu were also killed in an encounter. Lohra and Ganjhu had bounties of ₹10 lakh and ₹5 lakh respectively on their heads.

‘This is how we learned to eat food': Dubai's viral kadak chai toast brings a nostalgic twist to classic desi snack
Social media is brimming with reels and videos showcasing the latest food trend taking over timelines, Dubai Chai Toast. Following the viral success of kunafa chocolate, this warm and gooey twist on the classic chai-toast combo has become the new sensation. Known also as Chai Malai Toast, the dish has sparked curiosity and cravings, with Instagram videos highlighting its rich, comforting texture and nostalgic appeal.

Typically, buttered toast is lightly dipped in tea, creating the perfect balance of crisp and softness in every bite. However, the version going viral is a completely different take. Rather than simply dipping the toast, this snack involves pouring hot chai directly over a malai-filled bread sandwich. The trending dish consists of three primary ingredients: kadak chai (strong milk tea), malai (fresh cream), and sliced bread. In the viral recipe, fresh cream is sandwiched between two slices of bread. Then, hot tea is poured over the sandwich until it's completely soaked, making the bread soft enough to be scooped up with a spoon. The result is a warm, rich, and nostalgic snack that's gaining traction everywhere.
