Cong assures support to Dalit, tribal detainees after Karchhana violence
Prayagraj: Senior Congress leaders, including Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai , Congress MP from Barabanki Tanuj Punia, and Allahabad MP Ujjwal Raman Singh, visited Naini Jail on Saturday to meet individuals from Dalit and tribal communities who were arrested following the recent Karchhana unrest. The leaders assured that the party will provide all possible support, including legal assistance, to those in custody. They emphasised that the party stands firmly with the marginalised and will continue to fight for their rights. Ajay Rai described the Karchhana incident as "deeply unfortunate" and said: "The way Dalit and tribal individuals were targeted is unacceptable. The Congress party will not leave them alone. We are committed to ensuring they receive justice." Ujjwal Raman Singh said the Congress has always stood with the oppressed and the underprivileged. "We will ensure these detainees face no further hardship and are granted a fair and speedy legal process," he said. Tanuj Punia said: "We believe these arrests were made with political bias. The Congress party is taking this issue seriously and will do everything possible to secure justice and support their release through legal means." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ford&Go.

Ford Italia Scopri di più Undo The leaders also demanded a fair and impartial investigation into the incident and vowed to pressurise the govt for strict action against those responsible. The Karchhana violence took place when supporters of Nagina MP Chandrashekhar Azad went on a rampage for over two hours, damaging about a dozen vehicles and pelting police with stones. They accused police of not allowing the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) chief to meet the family of a Dalit man allegedly burnt to death in Karchana and that of a "rape survivor" in the nearby Kaushambi district. The mob damaged three police vehicles, and cops resorted to baton charge to disperse them. About half a dozen persons were reportedly injured in the clash. Police, after registering an FIR against 53 named and over 500 unknown persons, roped in 15 teams to ensure the arrest of troublemakers.

5 one-pot high-protein meals for fitness enthusiasts
It's the end of a grind-and-sweat day, and the last thing you want is to face a pile of dirty dishes. Enter the one-pot high-protein meal—the answer to your craving for convenience without compromising on muscle-building power. These meals are like casting a mini culinary spell: one pot, a solid protein source, veggies, grains, spices, and you've got a satisfying dinner and minimal cleanup. Cheesy chicken broccoli quinoa skillet This is your classic comfort food meets gym fuel. Start by sautéing diced chicken breast in a big pan with a little olive oil, garlic, and onion until golden. Toss in rinsed quinoa, low-sodium chicken broth, and a pinch of black pepper. Let that cook for about 15–20 minutes until the quinoa fluffs up and the liquid's absorbed. Then comes the green stuff—toss in some chopped broccoli florets, cover the pot for 5 more minutes until they steam to tender perfection. Right before serving, mix in shredded cheddar or mozzarella (or both, live a little). It melts all over the chicken and broccoli, tying the whole thing together like a high-protein casserole in a skillet. You're getting around 35–40 grams of protein per serving, depending on how generous you are with the chicken. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ford&Go. Extra Bonus di € 1.500 e prima rata a ottobre. Ford Italia Scopri di più Undo It's filling, easy to meal prep, and way more exciting than your basic grilled chicken salad. One-pot Mediterranean chicken quinoa Imagine the beach in a bowl—this one's fresh, zesty, and packed with Mediterranean goodness. Sear boneless chicken thighs (or breasts if you prefer leaner) in olive oil with a sprinkle of oregano, salt, and pepper. Once browned, set them aside and toss chopped zucchini, red bell peppers, and artichokes into the pot. Stir around till slightly soft, then add rinsed quinoa, diced tomatoes (with juice), chicken broth, and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Nestle the chicken back on top and let everything simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes. When the quinoa's cooked and fluffy, top with crumbled feta, a handful of fresh basil or parsley, and boom—you've got a Mediterranean power bowl ready to go. Each serving clocks in with around 35g of protein, tons of fiber, and bright, clean flavors. Bonus: it reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep lunches that don't suck. Chicken, spinach & mushroom quinoa pot T his one's earthy, cozy, and totally satisfying after a heavy workout. Start by sautéing sliced mushrooms and onions in olive oil with a bit of thyme or rosemary. Add diced chicken thighs (they stay juicier than breasts), salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook till they're golden on the outside. Toss in rinsed quinoa and low-sodium broth, stir, then let it all simmer covered for 15–20 minutes until the quinoa is tender. Right before it's done, throw in a few big handfuls of baby spinach and stir until wilted. The mushrooms soak up all the savory goodness, the spinach keeps it light, and the chicken brings the protein punch—around 40g per serving. It's one of those meals where you feel like you're eating something indulgent, but it's secretly healthy. Plus, it's all done in one pan, so cleanup is a breeze. Big win for post-leg-day dinner. Chickpea spinach coconut curry If you're plant-based (or just want a meat-free night), this creamy, spiced curry is pure magic. Heat coconut oil in a big pot, add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger, and cook until fragrant. Stir in a tablespoon of curry powder, cumin, and a pinch of chili flakes if you want heat. Add canned chickpeas (drained), diced tomatoes, and full-fat coconut milk. Let that simmer for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld, then toss in big handfuls of spinach and let them wilt down. This curry is rich, cozy, and naturally high in plant-based protein and healthy fats. You'll get around 20g protein per serving if you pair it with a scoop of quinoa or brown rice. The best part? It tastes even better the next day. Make a big batch on Sunday and you'll have a dreamy lunch waiting all week. Zero animal products, all the flavor. Red lentil & quinoa stew This stew is like a warm hug in a bowl. It's thick, filling, and loaded with fiber and plant protein. In a big pot, sauté chopped onions, carrots, and celery in olive oil until soft. Add garlic, a little tomato paste, cumin, smoked paprika, and stir for that toasty flavor. Pour in rinsed red lentils, quinoa, veggie broth, and a can of diced tomatoes. Let it simmer for 25–30 minutes until everything breaks down into a thick, stew-like consistency. Right before serving, toss in some kale or spinach if you've got it, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. The red lentils melt into the broth, making it creamy without cream, and the quinoa adds a nutty texture and extra protein. You're looking at 25–30g of protein per bowl—no meat required. It's super budget-friendly and freezes like a dream. Ideal for busy weeks when you need to eat well without thinking too hard.

One-horned rhino strays into Sivasagar village, triggers panic
1 2 3 4 5 6 Dibrugarh: A one-horned rhinoceros caused chaos in the Demow area of Sivasagar district on Friday after it strayed into a village, triggering panic among locals. The rhino was first spotted roaming freely before entering the backyard of local farmer Dino Hazarika's house in Bhimpowa village and wandering through nearby paddy fields. The unexpected visit sent residents into a frenzy as the animal, seemingly agitated by the growing crowd, turned aggressive. Witnesses said the rhino damaged a parked motorcycle and even chased curious onlookers who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the rare visitor. "We were shocked to see a rhino near our homes. At first, people were excited, but when it started charging, everyone ran for safety. It was terrifying, no one expected a rhino to enter our village," said Bidyut Hazarika, a resident. Forest officials were immediately alerted, and a team was dispatched to safely guide the rhino back to its natural habitat. "We are monitoring the situation closely and taking necessary steps to ensure the safety of both the animal and the residents. Rhinos can become aggressive when stressed, so we urge people to maintain distance," a forest department official said. The rhino's presence has puzzled wildlife experts, as the nearest known population resides in Kaziranga National Park, located approximately 177 km away. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ford&Go.

The Indian rhinoceros, distinguished by its single horn, typically inhabits Assam's protected reserves, particularly Kaziranga National Park. However, wildlife authorities note that such human-wildlife encounters are occurring with greater frequency due to habitat destruction and seasonal flooding that drives animals to seek refuge on higher ground.

Sikh faith not a ground for less punishment: Indian-origin man jailed for crash that killed woman in Adelaide, he was driving at 160 km/hour
Bhupinder Singh was sentenced to over five years in jail in Adelaide for car crash that killed a woman. He claimed he was bullied for his hair, turban in jail during the remand. (Photo: 7News) 24-year-old Bhupinder Singh has been sentenced to more than five years in jail, but not a life sentence, for causing the death of Christine Sandford, a 40-year-old mother of two, in a high-speed crash in Adelaide. The accident took place in 2023 but the verdict was delayed as Singh pleaded for a home detention instead of jail as he said practising Sikhs face religious hardship in custody, including ridicule, dietary challenges and an inability to maintain their hair. Singh, however, pleaded guilty to causing death and expressed remorse. District Court judge Paul Muscat said the accident was caused by Singh's rash driving as the speed of the Ford Mustang that he was driving was 160kph 2.5 seconds before he crashed into Sandford. Sandford was in her car at a nearby petrol station just 500 meters away when Singh's car struck hers with such force that it pushed the vehicle 30 meters down the road. She died at the scene. "You were tailgating and flashing your high were swerving around other cars at high speed. The risk that you posed to other persons driving at the speed at which you did must have been obvious to you," the judge told Singh. "Christine Sandford's death was totally avoidable if only you had obeyed the speed limit," Judge Muscat said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ford&Go.

"There is a road safety message that is often repeated to motorists, for good reason, it reminds us all 'speed kills', sadly that is precisely what happened here." 'There are no winners' Father of Sandford said there are no winners in the case as his daughter would never come back. Sandford was preparing a meal at that time and went to get cooking oil when the speeding car of Singh's killed her. Singh was remanded for sentencing in May, lost 9kg in custody Singh came to Australia from India five years ago to study. His attorney told the court that when he was remanded for sentencing in May, he faced ridicule because of his turban. He lost 9 kg in custody, the court was told.

Officials ate 14 kilograms dry fruits at a single event in Shahdol village?
Representative photo BHOPAL: Six kilograms of 'kaju' (cashew), three kilograms of kishmish (raisins), five kilograms of 'badam' (nuts), more than nine kilograms of fruits, 30 kilograms of snacks—do you think this is the menu for a big fat Indian wedding? No, this was bought for a meeting attended by only a handful of officials at a nondescript panchayat in Shahdol district. This comes days after bills showing 168 labourers and 65 masons were deployed against the use of four litres of paint at a school, and 275 workers and 150 masons were deployed against 20 litres of paint at another school in the same Shahdol district went viral on social media. A village-level choupal was held at Bhadwahi village panchayat under Gopaharu Janpad of Shahdol district on May 25 under the Jal Ganga Samvardhan Mission—a drive aimed at water conservation. The choupal was attended by officials like the district collector, district panchayat CEO, SDM, and others. Bills for the food, tent, and other such things that were put up against this event by village panchayat officials have gone viral on social media. TOI is in possession of these bills. Bills of six kilograms of 'kaju' (cashew), three kilograms of 'kishmish' (raisins), five kilograms of 'badam' (nuts), five kilograms of sugar, six kilograms of milk, around five dozen bananas, three kilograms of 'anaar' (pomegranate), three kilograms of grapes, three kilograms of apples, 30 kilograms of snacks, and several other food items including 'poori-sabji' and tent bills worth more than Rs 85,000 have gone viral. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ford&Go. Extra Bonus di € 1.500 e prima rata a ottobre. Ford Italia Scopri di più Undo A total of nine such bills are making rounds on social media. TOI talked to the owner of 'Govind Gupta Kirana Store' situated in Bharri village whose bill has been used for dry fruits and 30 kilograms of snacks. 'No snacks were purchased from my store. Bills must be for other expenses,' Gupta said. When asked whether 13 kilograms of dry fruits (one kilogram of 'kaju' (cashew) was purchased from another firm) were purchased from his store, Gupta said, 'Maybe it was purchased in two-three instalments. ' District collector Shahdol, Kedar Singh, has ordered the Gopaharu janpad panchayat CEO to probe and submit a report. When TOI asked officials whether they ate this much dry fruit, the district collector, Kedar Singh, responded, 'I do not eat dry fruits and I didn't eat. I came out early. As these bills have come into my cognizance, I have ordered a probe by the janpad panchayat CEO. Appropriate action would be taken against those found guilty. It is good if locals who were also present at the event were provided food, but how come so much dry fruit be used?' Incharge district panchayat CEO, Mudrika Singh, who was also at the event, said, 'It was dark. I did not see those dry fruits. We are examining the bills; there were a lot of people there. Action would be taken against those found guilty.' Gopaharu Janpad panchayat CEO, Ved Mani Mishra, has asked the panchayat convener to examine the matter. 'The official went to the panchayat, but due to incessant rain, he could not go there today. He will be visiting on Friday. Action would be taken as per the findings.'
