Weapons from Pakistan arming gangsters in Punjab: Cops
Amritsar: Apprehensions of cross-border arms smugglers in Pakistan expanding their network in India continue to grow amid regular seizures of guns and ammunition along the neighbouring country's border in Punjab. Amritsar senior superintendent of police (rural) Maninder Singh said they had seized 170 weapons of different makes along the Pak border since Jan, with a bulk of the illegal firearms being dropped by drones. He said there were not many incidents when the supply of firerarms smuggled from Pakistan via Punjab was found in the insurgency-hit states of India or in the hands of Naxals. He, however, said that in the past, Telangana-bound improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were seized in Ambala. "But not many cases have come to light wherein arms were being sold to other terrorist-hit regions of India," he said. A police source said a majority of these weapons are smuggled to arm gangsters in Punjab. "Most of the gangsters in the region are armed with at least two-three pistols each, so the demand is high," said the source. Most of the small weapons, including Glock, Star, and Chinese-made pistols, have huge demand in Punjab, added sources. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like After Losing Weight Kevin James Looks Like A Model 33 Bridges Border Security Force Punjab frontier inspector general (IG) Atul Fulzele said BSF had seized 55 pistols, 89 magazines, and 323 rounds of ammunition in the past six months. "But I am not sure if these weapons are sold outside Punjab," he said. Some officers suspect some of these weapons are being diverted to insurgency-affected areas in India.

7 most loved dumplings in the world
1 2 There's just something about dumplings. That soft, warm outer layer — chewy or crisp — hiding a burst of flavour inside, feels like biting into a little gift. Whether you're slurping them from broth, dipping them into something spicy, or eating them straight from the pan, dumplings are pure comfort. Every place has its own version, and somehow they all bring the same joy — a mix of warmth, celebration, and serious flavour. What makes dumplings even better is how many ways there are to make them. Meat, veggies, cheese, even something sweet — they can be steamed, fried, baked, or boiled. And while they seem indulgent, most are actually pretty balanced, especially when they're made with good, fresh ingredients. Let's take a delicious trip across the globe to meet some of the most iconic dumplings that people love, crave, and keep coming back to. Momo (Nepal, Tibet, Northeast India) Momos are more than a snack — they're practically a love language across the Himalayas. Steamed and stuffed with meat or veggies, momos are juicy little pockets of comfort. They're almost always served with that spicy, garlicky red chutney that hits just right. Light enough to not weigh you down, but filling enough to count as a full meal — they're perfect for cold evenings, late-night cravings, or pretty much anytime you're hungry. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like After Losing Weight Kevin James Looks Like A Model 33 Bridges Undo And here's a win: the usual fillings like cabbage, onion, and ginger aren't just flavourful — they're also easy on your stomach and actually good for you. Gyoza (Japan) Gyozas are those perfect little dumplings with a crispy bottom and soft top — kind of the best of both worlds. They're usually filled with minced pork, cabbage, garlic, and chives, and honestly, once you start eating them, it's hard to stop. They're pan-fried, then lightly steamed — giving you the best of both textures. That garlic-ginger duo inside? It's not just for flavour; both are great for immunity and digestion. They're the kind of thing you accidentally eat twenty of, and regret none. Khinkali (Georgia) These Georgian dumplings are big, beautiful, and bursting with hot, peppery broth inside. You hold them by the twisted top, take a careful slurp of the soup, and then bite into the meaty filling. It's a whole experience. Hearty and bold, khinkali are made with spiced minced meat and lots of black pepper — perfect for warming you up from the inside out. Pierogi (Poland) Pierogi are straight-up comfort in dumpling form. They're soft, a little chewy, usually boiled first and then pan-fried in butter till they get those golden edges. Inside? You'll find stuff like mashed potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, or tangy sauerkraut. Basically, warm, buttery happiness. Some even go sweet with berries or jam. They're rich, filling, and wonderfully nostalgic — and when made with real, whole ingredients, they offer a pretty balanced bite of carbs, fats, and fibre. Also, fried in a little butter? Divine. Xiaolongbao (China) A dumpling with a built-in soup surprise. Xiaolongbao are a technical and culinary marvel — thin, delicate wrappers that hold hot, rich broth and minced meat. Bite in and the soup bursts out (in the best way). They're traditionally made with pork and collagen-rich stock that melts when steamed. Nutrient-wise, they're light, high in protein, and surprisingly clean for how luxurious they feel. Mandu (Korea) Mandu are Korea's take on dumplings — soft, juicy, and straight-up delicious. You can steam them, fry them, boil them, whatever mood you're in. Inside, it's usually a tasty mix of meat, veggies, tofu, garlic, and sesame oil that gives it that classic Korean flavour kick. They go great with soy-vinegar dip or even thrown into a hot, spicy soup. Snack or full meal, mandu just hits the spot. Empanada (Spain, Latin America, Philippines) Flaky outside, tasty stuff inside — that's an empanada. Could be spicy meat, melty cheese, veggies, or even sweet stuff like apple. Some are baked, some are fried, all of them are yum. They fill you up without making you feel super heavy. Simple, solid, snack win. Also, major bonus: they're easy to pack and eat anywhere. Road trip? Picnic? Random snack attack? Empanadas have your back.

Massive ETH surge ahead? New forecast predicts Ethereum to hit $15,000 by year-end
Ethereum is on a serious winning streak right now. As of Monday, July 21, 2025, the world's second-biggest cryptocurrency has surged to $3,812—its highest price since December 2024. This marks the ninth day in a row ETH has climbed, gaining over 25% in just one week and more than 50% since the start of July. The big question everyone's asking is: why is Ethereum going up—and can it really reach $15,000 this year? What's pushing Ethereum price up today? Ethereum's price jump isn't random—it's being powered by several strong drivers, especially from the institutional side.

Massive inflows into U.S.-listed spot Ether ETFs. According to Fundstrat, these ETFs pulled in a record $2.18 billion last week alone, a level of demand that's never been seen before. With so much ETH being scooped up, even Coinbase reserves are running low. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like After Losing Weight Kevin James Looks Like A Model 33 Bridges Undo Also, whales are jumping in. One large investor reportedly bought $50 million worth of ETH over the weekend at an average price of $3,714. And according to analyst Ali Martinez, whales have bought over 500,000 ETH in the last two weeks. That kind of quiet accumulation usually means something bigger is brewing—either major price action or upcoming developments on the network. Live Events Is this rally sustainable or just hype? Some traders are skeptical. Crypto Banter recently called it 'the most hated rally right now' because there's still a ton of bearish sentiment. CoinGlass data shows nearly $331 million in ETH short positions could get liquidated if the price hits $4,000. That could trigger a short squeeze—forcing short sellers to buy back in and potentially pushing ETH even higher. Still, analysts like Mark Newton from Fundstrat say the technicals support the move. He sees ETH reaching $4,000 before the end of July. The current price action is happening with real volume behind it, not just hype or meme coin-style excitement. Can Ethereum hit $15,000 by year-end? That's what Tom Lee from Fundstrat believes. He's called Ethereum 'Wall Street's preferred choice' for blockchain infrastructure, citing the use of ETH by companies like JPMorgan (for stablecoin projects) and Robinhood (for tokenization). Lee argues that Layer-1 platforms like Ethereum are similar to software firms—they power entire ecosystems. That's why he believes they deserve higher valuation multiples. His price target: $10,000 to $15,000 by the end of 2025. Other predictions: Mark Newton (Fundstrat): Short-term target of $4,000 by July end. Colin Talks Crypto: $15,000 to $20,000 within the current bull cycle. Moderate forecasts: $6,000 to $8,000 by December 2025. Why are big companies now buying Ethereum? A new trend is forming that echoes Bitcoin's 2020 rally—corporate treasuries are starting to hold ETH. Publicly traded companies like Bitmine Immersion Technologies and SharpLink Gaming have added ETH to their balance sheets. After announcing their crypto strategies, some of these stocks surged over 400%. According to crypto trader Pentoshi, some of these companies are 'just a month old' and are already trying to get their hands on as much ETH as possible—up to 1% of total supply in some cases. This kind of demand wasn't around in previous cycles and could add consistent buying pressure going forward. What does Ethereum's technical chart say? From a technical standpoint, Ethereum is nearing a critical breakout zone. On the weekly chart, ETH is approaching $4,000—an area that has rejected price advances three times before. This resistance overlaps with the 76.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 2021–2022 bear market. But this time could be different. The current rally has broken above a long-term trendline from the 2021 highs, and volume is supporting the move. On a larger scale, Ethereum is forming a massive ascending triangle on its monthly chart. The base of this triangle goes back to late 2018, when ETH was trading around $90. Now, that base is near $2,800, and the top of the triangle is close to $4,000. If ETH breaks above that ceiling, the pattern suggests a move to $6,000–$8,000 could be next. This setup is also supported by the 200-week exponential moving average (EMA), which ETH is currently trading 18% above. Historically, ETH has launched strong rallies from this level. Are retail investors still on the sidelines? Interestingly, retail sentiment remains low. Most of the current move is driven by institutions and whales. But that might be a good thing. In previous bull markets, institutional accumulation often came before massive retail FOMO kicked in. So, the fact that ETH is surging without much noise from everyday investors could suggest this rally still has legs. Ethereum price predictions: What's next for ETH? Here's a quick summary of where analysts see Ethereum heading in the short, medium, and long term: Timeframe Price Range Analyst Forecasts Short-Term (July-Aug 2025) $3,900 - $4,500 Mark Newton sees $4,000 by July-end; resistance at $4,200–$4,500 Medium-Term (Q4 2025) $6,000 - $20,000 Tom Lee: $10,000–$15,000; Colin Talks Crypto: up to $20,000 Long-Term (2025–2026) $8,000 - $18,000 Fundstrat's valuation model supports $15K; tokenization growth could push to $18K Why Ethereum's momentum might last Ethereum's rally isn't just about price—it's about structural shifts in how institutions and even corporations are treating ETH. The network now powers over 60% of tokenized real-world assets, according to Fundstrat, and nearly 30% of its supply is staked and off the market. As traditional finance builds more products on Ethereum's rails—whether stablecoins or tokenized securities—demand could continue to outstrip supply. While the $4,000 level may still pose resistance in the near term, a confirmed breakout could open the door to a move toward $6,000, $8,000, or even $10,000+ by year-end. Whether you're an investor, trader, or just watching from the sidelines, this is a moment worth paying attention to. Ethereum isn't just going up—it might be growing up into a new kind of asset class. FAQs: Can Ethereum really reach $10,000 or even $15,000 by the end of 2025? Yes, many experts believe Ethereum could hit $10,000 or even $15,000 by the end of this year. Analysts like Tom Lee from Fundstrat say Ethereum is benefiting from massive institutional support, especially through spot ETH ETFs that have brought in over $2.18 billion in just one week. That kind of buying pressure, combined with growing use cases like tokenization and corporate adoption, could drive prices much higher. While $15,000 may sound ambitious, analysts are using models similar to those used for tech companies—because Ethereum, like software firms, powers entire ecosystems. Why is Ethereum going up so fast right now? Ethereum is rising quickly due to a perfect mix of strong technical signals and real-world demand. The biggest driver is institutional buying—especially through newly launched spot Ethereum ETFs. At the same time, whales are quietly accumulating ETH, with some buying tens of millions worth in just days. Ethereum's supply on exchanges like Coinbase is also drying up, meaning there's less ETH available to buy. Add to that major companies announcing ETH purchases for their treasuries, and you've got a strong foundation for this ongoing price surge. Is this Ethereum rally sustainable, or is it just another bubble? This time, it looks more sustainable than previous bull runs. Unlike past rallies driven mainly by retail hype or meme coins, this one is led by serious money—like institutions, ETFs, and corporate treasuries. Also, Ethereum's price is supported by strong technical patterns, such as an ascending triangle forming over multiple years, and it's trading above key moving averages. While pullbacks are always possible, many investors see this rally as more mature and grounded in fundamentals compared to past cycles. What should I watch for before buying Ethereum right now? If you're thinking about entering the market now, it's smart to keep an eye on the $4,000 level. That's a major resistance point where ETH has been rejected before. If Ethereum breaks and holds above that level with strong volume, it could signal more upside ahead. But be cautious—markets often pull back after big runs. Use dollar-cost averaging if you're not sure about timing, and always set a plan in place before investing. Are companies really buying Ethereum for their balance sheets? Yes, and this is a big deal. Several public companies, including Bitmine Immersion Technologies and SharpLink Gaming, have recently added ETH to their corporate treasuries. After making these announcements, some of their stocks even jumped by 300% to 400%. Crypto trader Pentoshi pointed out that many of these companies are aggressively trying to secure large amounts of ETH—sometimes up to 1% of total supply. This mirrors the Bitcoin corporate treasury trend we saw in 2020 but seems to be happening faster with Ethereum. Is Ethereum still a good investment if I missed the rally? It depends on your investment goals and time horizon. While ETH has already gone up more than 50% this month, many analysts believe we're still in the early stages of this bull cycle. If Ethereum breaks above $4,000 and holds, it could potentially run toward $6,000, $8,000, or higher in the next 6–12 months. However, it's important to avoid FOMO (fear of missing out). Consider your risk tolerance and invest gradually if you're entering now. ETH is still volatile, and sharp corrections can happen even in a bullish market. What role do Ethereum ETFs play in this price rally? Ethereum ETFs are playing a huge role. Just last week, U.S.-listed spot ETH ETFs saw inflows of $2.18 billion. This is important because it allows institutions and regular investors to gain exposure to Ethereum without having to deal with crypto wallets or exchanges. It also brings Ethereum more into the mainstream financial system. These ETF inflows reduce circulating supply and create new demand channels—both of which support price growth over time. What's the biggest risk to Ethereum right now? The biggest near-term risk is price rejection at the $4,000 level. Historically, ETH has failed to break past this area several times—in 2021, 2022, and early 2024. If the market stalls again, we could see a pullback. There's also broader market risk tied to macroeconomic conditions, regulations, or any unexpected shocks that affect investor confidence. That said, many current buyers are long-term holders, especially institutions, which adds some stability to the rally. Is Ethereum still dominated by retail traders? Not anymore. In fact, this rally has shown how institutional the market has become. On-chain data shows that most of the recent buying has come from large wallets and institutions. Retail traders are still mostly on the sidelines, and that's often a sign the rally has room to grow. When retail starts jumping back in, we could see the next wave of upward momentum—just like what happened in Bitcoin's 2020 bull run.
