Families of martyrs to be honoured on Kargil Vijay Diwas
Surat: A "Samarpan Gaurav Samaroh" will be held in the city on Kargil Vijay Diwas , Saturday. At the event organized by Jay Jawan Nagrik Samiti (JJNS), the families of martyrs who lost their lives while protecting the country will be honoured.

Most of these soldiers died while in service, while some were martyred while on missions. "We give assistance to the families of all soldiers who died in service, as martyrs' families receive govt assistance, but the financial condition of the other families is not good in most cases. Thus, we include as many as possible," said Kanji Bhalala, member of JJNS.

'Now, do the Epstein files': MLK's daughter knocks Trump over records release
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter called out President Donald Trump after his administration released a trove of records surrounding her iconic father's 1968 assassination. Roughly 240,000 pages of records were shared this week despite objections from the King family, who have said the FBI's surveillance of the Georgia-born minister, who led the 1963 March on Washington, was motivated by a political bias against civil rights. "While we support transparency and historical accountability, we object to any attacks on our father's legacy or attempts to weaponize it to spread falsehoods," the King family said in a July 21 statement. The documents related to the King assassination are the latest trove of materials made public through a January executive order by the president that also called for the release of materials related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy. King's children have also said they wanted a chance to review files before they become public and that the situation is deeply personal to them. "Now, do the Epstein files," Bernice King, Dr. King's youngest child, said in a July 21 post on X, formerly known as Twitter. Trump has been under intense pressure in recent weeks from several right-wing figures about the files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Prominent Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, have called on the administration to provide the public with more information. 'What I would say is just release it, let people see," DeSantis said in a July 20 interview with Fox News. But I do think there's a desire for justice because Jeffrey Epstein and (Ghislaine) Maxwell didn't just do this amongst themselves. I mean, there were obviously other people involved, and yet no one's been brought to justice,' Polling shows 63% of voters disapprove of the administration's handling of the Epstein case after the Department of Justice and the FBI released no new files and concluded that the disgraced financier died by suicide in his jail cell. Now, do the Epstein files.

New outdoor youth club in March attracts 'fantastic turn out'
An open air youth club set up five weeks ago to address concerns about anti-social behaviour in a town is attracting "a fantastic turnout".The club in March, Cambridgeshire, is organised by Junction Youth Project, and runs on Wednesday 11, said she enjoyed the free food, limbo dancing and drawing, adding: "We get to see our best friends and that's the best part."Organiser Katy Shroff said: "It's all about bringing our community together, making the youths of our town happy." "They've said they were bored and people were saying they've been anti-social, but we just need a different approach and that's what the Junction Youth Project is all about." Ms Shroff, 45, who has lived in the town all her life, added: "We've had a fantastic turnout, this is about kids and about them having a wonderful upbringing - they always say it takes a village to bring up a child and here we are doing that."She added she "cannot thank people enough" for the amount of support the project had attracted in the town. Nevaeh, 13, said she loved going along."It's better than sitting in the skate park or somewhere else - everything's so nice - and my parents are happy we're coming here," she added. The volunteer-run club, funded by Cambridgeshire County Council and the Clarion Housing Group charity, is based at the town's newly-pedestrianised Broad Street. Youngsters can try table top football, make jewellery, play pool and there are refreshments. Bricklayer Alfie Robinson, 24, one of volunteers, said: "I want to help give back and redirect them onto a better path, because I'm on that path now."But it's not just about whether someone's going on the wrong path, there's a lot of parents who haven't got money for bits of food - it's all free for them here."
