Kerala University faculty member's promotion: Syndicate defends body's decision
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A section of Syndicate members of Kerala University has defended the varsity body's decision to recommend promotion of assistant professor S Naseeb, also a pro-Left Syndicate member, to the post of associate professor. The decision was annulled by Governor Rajendra Arlekar in his capacity as Chancellor on Monday on the grounds that it was against UGC regulations. In a joint statement, 14 Syndicate members, most of them Left-affiliated, said the university has implemented the UGC regulation that valid contract service can also be considered for promotion. They said it was on directives of the Kerala High Court that Naseeb was permitted to apply for promotion. Besides, the Syndicate had also sought legal opinion on the matter before taking a decision. 'The Syndicate had only decided to inform the High Court that Naseeb's application for promotion can be considered based on earlier court orders on the matter and also on the basis of the report of the academic committee,' the Syndicate members said. However, the Vice-Chancellor unilaterally referred the matter to the Chancellor (governor), they alleged. In his order, the governor said it was found that Naseeb had included his tenure of more than a year as lecturer on temporary basis to his overall service period while applying for promotion. However, he was drawing remuneration lesser than a regularly appointed faculty at that time. According to the governor, this constituted a violation of UGC regulations. The governor reminded the Syndicate that it is bound to follow the norms fixed by the UGC and no power is vested with it to exempt or exclude such norms. Arlekar said he was annulling the Syndicate's decision by invoking the powers vested in him under Section 7(3) of the Kerala University Act.

'His touch should...': Hema Malini asked Baghban makers for a tightly stitched blouse, wanted Amitabh Bachchan to...
Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini's performance in Baghban left everyone teary-eyed. The pairing was a superhit, and fans loved the two as an on-screen husband and wife. Even before Baghban, the two featured in movies like Veer-Zaara, Sholay, Naseeb, Andhaa Kaanoon, and Baghban were special. The emotion of ageing parents, husband and wife deeply in love but separated due to their kids—this movie felt different. A few months ago, Renuka Chopra, the wife of late director Ravi Chopra, who helmed Baghban, opened up new aspects of the film. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Renuka revealed that Hema made a special request to the Baghban makers. The actress told the makers to get her blouse stitched much tighter than usual. The wife of the late director revealed that in one scene, Amitabh Bachchan had to fasten her blouse, and Hema wanted a specific look on her face. During the conversation, Renuka said, 'There was a scene where she was getting ready, standing in front of a mirror. At that time, Raj comes from behind and, upon seeing her, says, 'Wow.' Hema asked me to stitch her blouse a bit tight so that when Amit ji comes, he can fasten it tightly. She said, 'That touch would give me the look I want'—one that conveyed, 'He's touched me. After so many years of being married, it meant so much.' She is a very romantic person in real life.' In the same conversation, Renuka revealed that Hema was not the first choice for the role of Pooja Malhotra. Initially, the makers wanted to cast Tabu. However, the actress turned down the role, stating that she didn't want to play the mother of four kids at 36. With that, the role was passed to Hema, and the pairing of Hema and Amitabh turned out to be a huge hit.

Governor cancels Kerala University syndicate's decision to promote pro-CPM functionary
T'puram: Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has cancelled Kerala University syndicate's decision to promote pro-CPM teachers' union functionary S Naseeb as an associate professor, allegedly violating university and UGC norms. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The syndicate's decision to consider the contract appointment period of the candidate in Sanskrit University for the promotion had sparked controversy earlier. A special meeting of the university syndicate on May 5, convened to discuss the governor's show-cause notice regarding the appointment, decided to ignore the notice and stick to the decision to promote the candidate. However, the university vice-chancellor (VC) Mohanan Kunnummal and opposition members in the syndicate opposed the move. Kunnummal pointed out that accepting the contract appointment period as teaching experience for promotion, contrary to UGC regulations, would necessitate a retrospective review of many current teachers' promotions. Only previous teaching experience with a salary equivalent to the assistant professor position should be considered for promotion, according to the regulations, the VC pointed out. Naseeb's temporary appointment at the Sanskrit University was at a salary lower than that of an assistant professor. Meanwhile, Naseeb approached the high court questioning the VC's stance of not implementing the syndicate's decision, but the court directed the governor to make a decision. Save University Campaign Committee alleged that the decision to lower the qualifications for the post of pro vice-chancellor (PVC) from professor to associate professor in the recently passed university amendment bill was to appoint Naseeb as PVC. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Hence CPM members in the syndicate took a stand to bypass UGC regulations for promotion, the committee said. It also submitted a petition to the governor and VC requesting the prevention of Naseeb's unauthorised promotion. Meanwhile, the state govt submitted a list of candidates to Raj Bhavan to be considered for appointment as interim VCs of Digital and Technological universities. The high court recently ruled that the appointment of interim VCs should be made from the list of candidates prepared by the state govt. Former governor Arif Mohammed Khan appointed Ciza Thomas and K Sivaprasad as the interim VCs of Digital and Technological universities respectively against the state govt's preference.

Delhi Police busts inter-state narco syndicate, seizes charas worth Rs 1.10 crore
New Delhi [India], May 26 (ANI): In the fight against drug trafficking, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of the Delhi Police Crime Branch has dismantled a significant narco-syndicate involved in the supply of charas across multiple states, according to the official statement. The operation led to the arrest of three key operatives and the seizure of 2,124 grams of charas, valued at approximately Rs 1.10 crore in the international market. The contraband was sourced from Kasol in Himachal Pradesh and smuggled into the Delhi-NCR region, indicating a sophisticated inter-state supply chain. According to police, the syndicate's operations spanned cultivation, transportation, and local distribution, all of which have now been disrupted. DCP Apoorva Gupta stated that the operation began on January 8, 2025, following a tip-off received by ASI Yogendra regarding two individuals involved in narcotics distribution. Acting swiftly, a Crime Branch team raided Hotel Maharaja in the Old Market area of Timarpur, Delhi. According to the official statement, two suspects, Naseeb (25), a resident of Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, and Sandeep (40) from Mohali, Punjab, were arrested at the scene. A total of 1,428 grams of charas was recovered from their possession, classified as a commercial quantity under the NDPS Act. An FIR was registered under Sections 20 and 29 of the NDPS Act at the Crime Branch, Delhi. Further investigation led to the arrest of Inder Singh alias Indru, a resident of Chhalal village in Kasol, Himachal Pradesh. A search of his house resulted in the recovery of an additional 696 grams of charas. Police revealed that Inder Singh was responsible for cultivating the charas in remote mountainous terrain, with assistance from Naseeb. The fields used for cultivation are located in the hills of Chhalal, accessible only by an arduous eight-hour trek one that becomes nearly impossible during the snow-covered off-season. During interrogation, police learned that Naseeb oversaw the cultivation process and worked closely with Inder Singh to harvest and package the narcotics. Sandeep, who drove Naseeb to Delhi in his taxi, was responsible for transporting the consignment intended for sale in the capital and adjoining areas. The operation was conducted as part of Delhi Police's ongoing campaign against drug trafficking networks and under the larger umbrella of its zero-tolerance policy against narcotics, DCP Gupta added. Deputy Commissioner of Police Apoorva Gupta (IPS) reaffirmed the department's dedication to eradicating drug networks from the city. (ANI)

Many of Sinha's co-stars have spoken about his habit of being late on the set. This was also true for Rajesh Khanna though. When Poonam Dhillon had appeared on Kapil Sharma's show, she was asked about her co-stars. When she was asked about the tardiest hero she has worked with, Poonam said, "There were two top heroes; Govinda and Shatrughan Sinha. I've worked often with them both.

I would reach the set by 2:30 pm, but Shatru used to reach after 5-7 hours.
