UPSC Result 2025: In a now viral video, the grandfather of 113th rankholder Shikha Singh who achieved great result in the recently concluded Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Service Examination (CSE) could be seen weeping on the success of his granddaughter.
Govt job still carries a lot of weight in Indian families. And when ones cracks civil services, saying is family's seven generations are sorted. A elderly man in UP's Bulandshahar breaks down over her granddaughter securing 113th rank in civil services. pic.twitter.com/Gm2DNJuwPr
A resident of Ambedkar Nagar in the Kotwali Nagar area of Bulandshahr, Shikha is from a humble financial background. Her father, Prem Chand, works as a fourth-class employee at the Indira Gandhi Kanya Inter College. Financial situation of the family was extremely poor. Shikha’s father never asked her to stop pursuing educational dreams and Shikha continued so she could become financially independent.
In the video, the grandfather of Shikha who had previously worked as a peon could be seen sobbing while talking about her journey and success. Shikha achieved the feat in her second attempt.
Shikha completed her high school examination from Bada Village’s Chaudhary Veerpal Singh Inter College. She went on to complete intermediate studies from Gandhi Bal Niketan Kanya Inter College in 2013 and graduated with a BSc degree from IP College in 2016. In 2018, she completed her Basic Training Certificate (BTC) course from IP College.
Shikha’s elder sister works in Baharaich’s upper primary school as a teacher. Another sister works as a teacher in the state of Bihar while her younger sister is preparing for the UPSC examination. Her brother works as a wellness coach and mother is a homemaker.
Social Media Reactions
A user commented, “Thats the Hope of “Livelihood” and “Overcoming Generations of Poverty” of many families in Rural India, especially Bihar & UP.” Another user commented, “The victory of hard work is just like this… Tears in Grandpa’s eyes and the officer’s star on his granddaughter’s shoulders.”
Another user commented on social media, “If there’s a desire for something in your heart and you devote day and night to attaining it, success will surely come. Heartiest congratulations to sister Shikha Singh.”
Rapper and music producer Badshah (whose real name is Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia) has been booked by Panchkula police over alleged objectionable content in his recently released Haryanvi song “Tateeree“. The song, which was released on March 1, has sparked controversy for its lyrics and visuals, particularly a school-themed video sequence that many found offensive.
Panchkula DCP Srishti Gupta confirmed that Badshah has been booked under Section 296 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for obscene acts and songs, along with Sections 3 and 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
Badshah Faces Legal Action For Distasteful Lyrics And Obscene Visuals In ‘Tateeree’
The complaint, filed by Chaudhary, states that the video shows girls in school uniforms in what he described as inappropriate scenes. The video also refers to the school as “Badshala,” a distorted form of the word Pathshala (school), which Chaudhary said portrays an educational setting in a derogatory manner.
He further alleged that using these visuals alongside the song’s lyrics sends a wrong message to society and is disrespectful towards women. The complainant demanded that the content be removed from social media platforms and that strict legal action be taken to prevent its circulation.
Police have said that the video and related content will be examined as part of the investigation, which is being handled by Sub-Inspector Desraj from the Cyber Crime Police Station, Sector 20, Panchkula.
Badshah’s Previous Song Controversies
This is not the first time Badshah has faced legal or public backlash over his music. In 2020, his song “Genda Phool” was accused of plagiarism for using lyrics from the Bengali folk song “Boro Loker Beti Lo” without crediting the original creator, Ratan Kahar. Following social media outrage, Badshah provided Kahar Rs 5 lakh in financial assistance as a gesture of respect.
Later in 2020, he was also investigated for allegedly buying fake YouTube views for his song “Paagal“. Mumbai Police claimed he paid roughly Rs 72–75 lakh to purchase 7.2 crore fake views in an attempt to set a world record. Badshah denied the allegations, saying he was cooperating as a witness rather than a suspect.
More recently, Badshah faced disputes over the song “Baawla” and a long-standing rivalry with Yo Yo Honey Singh regarding song credits, including hits like “Brown Rang” and “Angrezi Beat“. These disputes continued until mid-2024, when the feud was reportedly settled publicly. The investigation into “Tateeree” is ongoing. Officials will examine the video and lyrics to determine if they violate Indian laws. Meanwhile, the controversy has reignited debates on artistic freedom versus societal responsibility in music videos, placing Badshah once again in the spotlight.
Dhurandhar 2 Trailer: The Dhurandhar franchise is back with a bang as the trailer for the sequel, Dhurandhar The Revenge, has been released. Fans are eager to see Ranveer Singh reprise his role as Hamza Ali Mazari in a darker and more intense story.
The Dhurandhar 2 Trailer shows glimpses of violent action, high-stakes espionage and Hamza’s rise as the new king of Lyari, taking over from Rahman Dakait’s legacy.
What Happens In Dhurandhar 2 Trailer?
The nearly four-minute Dhurandhar 2 trailer immediately sets the tone for the sequel. Ranveer Singh returns as Jaskirat Singh Rangi an undercover R&AW agent operating under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari. The footage references the IC-814 hijacking from the first film and quickly shows Hamza asserting power in Karachi’s Lyari neighbourhood.
The trailer shows Hamza’s transformation into “Lyari ka badshah” as he navigates Pakistan’s criminal and political underworld to dismantle terror networks. It also hints at a personal journey, exploring Jaskirat’s backstory and his evolution into a spy seeking revenge for major terror attacks, including 26/11.
Dhurandhar 2 trailer also features Arjun Rampal as the nemesis Major Iqbal, Sanjay Dutt as a police officer, and R Madhavan as a moral anchor. The action-packed sequences are accompanied by a remixed version of “Ari Ari” and end with the line – “India will decide the future of Pakistan.”
Dhurandhar The Revenge Release And Pan India Plans
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge will release worldwide on March 19 in five languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. Advance bookings start soon with paid previews on March 18.
The film continues the story of Hamza and explores the power vacuum left by Rahman Dakait. The sequel was originally expected to clash with Yash Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grownups, but that film’s release was postponed, giving Dhurandhar The Revenge the festive window of Eid, Gudi Padwa and Ugadi.
Produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar under Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the sequel aims to reach audiences across India with its intense action and spy-thriller plot.

Israel USA Iran War: United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has remarked that Indians had been exceptionally good actors, following the directions of the Donald Trump administration as and when told. Bessent remarked that the United States asked India to stop buying Russian crude oil and then obliged. The US Treasury Secretary also stated that Trump has now issued an order “allowing” India to temporarily buy crude oil from Russia for 30 days without any sanction.
After Trump, now US Treasury Secretary also insulted India —
“Indians are very good actors, we had asked them to stop buying Russian oil & they did. Now we have given them ‘Permission’ to get Russian oil”
Bessent stated that India has been an essential partner of USA and the Trump administration is hopeful that India would swiftly ramp up US oil purchases. Bessent went on to add that the stop-gap initiative would help in alleviating pressure that has been faced by global economies by Iran attempted to take global energy sources as a hostage.
Israel USA Iran War: Conflicting Statement By Energy Secretary
In contrast, United States Energy Secretary Chris Wright commented that the United States “requested” India to buy Russian oil so that oil prices could be reduced. Wright commented that USA reached out to its “friends in India” so they purchase stored crude oil from Russia. The US Energy Secretary also added that the measure would help pull oil into the refineries of India to release pressure on other global refineries.

“We have reached out to our friends in India to buy stored Russian oil. That pulls oil into Indian refineries and releases pressure on other global refineries,” says US Energy Secretary Chris Wright. pic.twitter.com/hEkwUjF1Ou
Wright added that Indian refiners could help the world refine the Russian crude oil and move the finished stocks into the global markets at a swift pace. He added that this would be beneficial to make sure that a free flow supply of oil is maintained globally to ease pressure amid the ongoing Middle East crisis.
Russia Stands With India
In another development, Russia has remarked that it would be happy to deliver as much supply of crude oil as India wants to ensure that its long-time ally doesn’t face any form of energy crisis.
Shashi Tharoor said India is unlikely to be dragged into the conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. However, he emphasized that India cannot remain indifferent because the situation could affect global stability, oil prices, and the safety of Indians living in the Middle East.
Rising Tensions in the Middle East
The ongoing conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has created serious tensions across the Middle East. As the war intensifies, many countries around the world are carefully observing the situation and deciding how to respond.
India Unlikely to Be Dragged Into the War
According to Shashi Tharoor, India is unlikely to get directly involved in the military conflict between Iran and the US-Israel alliance. He emphasised that India traditionally prefers diplomacy and peaceful solutions rather than becoming part of international wars.
Impact on Indians Living in the Gulf
One of the biggest concerns highlighted by Tharoor is the large number of Indians living and working in Gulf countries. Millions of Indian citizens depend on jobs in the Middle East, and any escalation in the war could disrupt their lives. He noted that projectiles and rising tensions have already disrupted travel and business activities in the region.
India’s Diplomatic Strategy
Tharoor also explained that India has chosen a balanced diplomatic strategy during this crisis. The country has not openly supported the military actions of the US and Israel against Iran, but it has also avoided strong condemnation. This cautious approach allows India to maintain communication with all sides while encouraging de-escalation and dialogue.
Oil and Economic Concerns
Another important factor discussed by Tharoor is the conflict’s impact on global energy markets. War in the Middle East often leads to uncertainty in oil supplies and rising fuel prices. The United States recently announced a temporary waiver allowing India to continue purchasing Russian oil without facing sanctions.
Ranbir Kapoor starrer Ramayana has once again grabbed attention after a fresh shooting update surfaced online. The actor has reportedly returned to the sets of the mythological epic, and the news has quickly gone viral among fans.
Interestingly, the update has also revived conversations about another much-discussed project, Brahmastra Part Two – Dev. The sequel to Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji, has been on hold for a long time. Now, some fans believe the success of Ramayana could help bring the Astraverse project back on track.
Reports suggest that Ranbir Kapoor has started filming important portions of Ramayana Part 2 in Mumbai. The actor will reportedly spend the next few months completing key scenes for the big-budget film.
Earlier, Ranbir was supposed to start shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s Love And War in March. However, the project was delayed due to the filmmaker’s health issues. The film is now expected to begin production around May 2026. Because of this delay, Ranbir has shifted his focus back to Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana.
Ramayana Schedule Update: Ranbir Kapoor Shoots Major Scenes
According to reports, Ranbir Kapoor plans to complete a major portion of the shoot between March and May. A source quoted by Pinkvilla said, “RK aims to complete a significant portion of his shoot for the mythological epic between March and May. At the moment, Ranbir is sporting a clean-shaven look as part of his transformation into Lord Ram. The look aligns with the visual continuity planned for the film, which is expected to expand the scale and storytelling established in the first part.”
Ranbir plays Lord Ram in the epic, and his look has already created curiosity among fans. Soon, Sunny Deol, who plays Lord Hanuman in the film, will also join the schedule. The actor is expected to start shooting around March 20.
The upcoming schedule will feature several important scenes between the two characters. The source added, “Ranbir has already begun filming his portions in Mumbai and Sunny Deol is expected to join the shoot around March 20. This schedule is particularly important because it includes multiple combination scenes between Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman, which are pivotal to the narrative.”
Can Ramayana Success Revive Brahmastra 2?
The shooting update has also sparked fresh debate online about the future of Brahmastra Part Two – Dev. Many fans believe that if Ramayana becomes a huge box-office success, it could help revive the long-delayed sequel. However, the conversation quickly shifted towards the possibility of Ranveer Singh playing the antagonist Dev opposite Ranbir Kapoor.
Read some user comments on Reddit below
“Is it safe to assume now that we’re not gonna get Brahmastra Part-2? I was so excited to see DP in it.”
“Change the director. Also, Ranveer vs Ranbir in Brahmastra 2 would be more fun.”
“Yeah, but RK must be shit scared that RS will eat him in a negative role of lesser span. But I so wish it to happen. The only way Karan can revive Dharma’s lost money and charm.”
“It will indeed happen because Ayan doesn’t have any project in hand other this .He has one project apart from this is by RK studios which is still a rumour; nothing is finalised.”
“No normal production house like Dharma or Jio is gonna produce it. Maybe if Namit becomes a full fledged producer in bollywood, he will make heavy VFX films under his production house. So that may lead to greenlighting Brahmastra 2.”
About Ramayana and the Astraverse
Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is being planned as a two-part mythological epic. The first film is scheduled for a Diwali 2026 release, while the second part is expected to arrive in Diwali 2027.
The film also stars Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The music of the film has already created buzz because it brings together two legendary composers Hans Zimmer and A.R Rahman.
Meanwhile, Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev remains one of Bollywood’s most awaited yet uncertain sequels. Ranbir Kapoor had earlier assured fans that the film was definitely happening. The sequel is expected to explore the powerful character Dev and his connection to Shiva. However, there has been no official update on the project for a long time. For now, all eyes remain on Ramayana. If the film becomes a massive hit, it could bring fresh momentum to the Astraverse once again.
LPG Prices Hike: From March 7, oil marketing companies raised the price of the 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder by ₹60, citing rising global energy costs linked to the geopolitical crisis in the Middle East. After the revision, the price of a non-subsidised cylinder in Delhi has increased to around ₹913, up from ₹853 earlier.
The increase comes after nearly 11 months without a major revision, making it the second price hike within a year.
Commercial LPG Costs Have Increased
The impact of rising costs is not limited to residential customers; commercial customers also face increased prices for Propane. Commercial propane (19kg) was up around Rs. 115. The new price in Delhi is around Rs. 1883 per commercial 19kg cylinder.
This price increase is expected to increase the operational costs of businesses that depend on gas for cooking, such as restaurants, etc. The food industry insiders expect that eventually this entire cost will be passed along as a price increase to consumers.
Reasons for the Increase
Insiders attribute the recent increases to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which has disrupted energy supplies and raised fuel prices on a worldwide basis. A large part of India’s LPG supply is imported; therefore, an increase in world prices will increase the cost of domestic LPG.
The government has asked refiners to increase the production of LPG in order to avoid shortages since the conflict has created uncertainty in respect to supply lines/transportation and the delivery of all forms of energy.
For now, the government has reassured that India has adequate fuel reserves and is monitoring the situation closely to ensure supply stability.
The LPG price hike marks the first visible economic impact of the West Asia conflict on Indian households and businesses. With cooking gas becoming costlier and global oil markets under pressure, experts warn that the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether other fuel prices in India also move upward.
Ind Vs NZ T20 World Cup 2026 Final: After a month of power-packed and intense cricket matches, the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup is all set to come to an end. The final between India and New Zealand in Ahmedabad on March 8 would bring down the curtains on one of the most successful events in the history of world cricket.
Team New Zealand would be aiming to win their first ICC T20 Cricket World Cup trophy while the defending champions India would like to repeat their last year’s superlative performance.
Ind Vs NZ T20 World Cup 2026 Final: Players Expected To Shine
Ishan Kishan’s Explosive Opening
For years, Ishan Kishan has been India’s most solid openers. He became the first Indian wicketkeeper to score a valiant T20 World Cup fifty with 61 off 24 balls (6 fours and 5 sixes) against Namibia. In bilateral T20s, Kishan recently smashed 76 off 32 (second-fastest Indian T20I fifty vs NZ) and a maiden 103 off 43. With a scintillating strike rate of more than 200, Ishan Kishan is all likely to win crowds in Ahmedabad in the final quest against Team New Zealand.
Jasprit Bumrah’s Death-Over Mastery
If there is one bowler in both teams that anyone could trust for death bowling, it is Jasprit Bumrah hands down. Bumrah presently owns the T20 World Cup records for India, topping with 33 wickets in 22 matches, eclipsing R Ashwin’s 32. In the semi-final match against England, Jasprit Bumrah hit 500 international wickets, conceding just 33 runs in death overs to seal victory.
Daryl Mitchell’s All-Round Threat
Daryl Mitchell could be the biggest challenge against Team India in the finale. Mitchell may not have enjoyed the best ICC T20 World Cup till now but he has always been a thorn in India’s victories. His seam-up medium pace could also help New Zealand exploit the top order of India while his middle-order power-hitting could target Jasprit Bumrah in the death overs.
Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has stirred debate ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 final. The ex-paceman believes India may face unexpected hurdles when they meet New Zealand in the title clash.
Akhtar’s comments came soon after former Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir also shared his thoughts on the high-pressure encounter. While India enters the final as one of the strongest teams in the tournament, Akhtar feels the venue and past memories could create psychological pressure for the hosts.
The much-anticipated final will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, one of the largest cricket venues in the world.
Memories of 2023 World Cup Loss Still Fresh
According to Shoaib Akhtar, India’s defeat to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final at the same stadium could still linger in the minds of players and fans.
He pointed out that playing in front of a massive home crowd often creates a unique challenge. The expectations become enormous, and even experienced teams sometimes struggle to cope with that level of pressure.
Akhtar suggested that if New Zealand start strongly, the emotional weight of the occasion could make things difficult for the Indian side.
New Zealand Could Be a Dangerous Opponent
The former fast bowler also praised New Zealand for their calm and disciplined approach in major tournaments. Over the years, the Black Caps have built a reputation for performing well in high-stakes matches.
Akhtar noted that New Zealand’s balanced bowling attack and composed batting lineup make them a dangerous opponent in a final.
“They know how to stay calm under pressure,” he hinted while discussing the matchup.
India Still Strong Contenders
Despite highlighting possible roadblocks, Shoaib Akhtar did not dismiss India’s chances. In fact, he acknowledged that India remains one of the favourites to lift the trophy.
The team has displayed impressive form throughout the tournament, combining aggressive batting with a strong bowling attack. If they manage the pressure well, India could still dominate the final.
With two strong teams set to clash, the T20 World Cup 2026 final promises to be a thrilling contest for cricket fans around the world.
Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon starrer Cocktail 2 is already creating buzz even before its first teaser arrives. The romantic drama has started trending online after reports claimed that its teaser will be attached to the theatrical release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which hits cinemas on March 19, 2026.
The strategy is reportedly planned to take advantage of the strong buzz around the Ranveer Singh-starrer action film. By attaching the teaser to a big theatrical release, the makers want to give audiences their first glimpse of the much-awaited sequel on the big screen.
However, the teaser update has also sparked another big question online. Are the makers planning to prepone the release of Cocktail 2?
Cocktail 2 Teaser To Play With Dhurandhar The Revenge
According to reports, the teaser of Cocktail 2 will be shown in cinemas along with Dhurandhar 2 (Dhurandhar The Revenge). The film is directed by Homi Adajania, who also directed the original Cocktail released in 2012.
The teaser is expected to reveal Shahid in a fresh new look. It will also offer a quick glimpse into the complicated relationship between the three lead characters played by Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna.
While the teaser will reportedly debut in theatres, it is still not clear when it will be released digitally for fans online.
At the same time, speculation about the film’s release date has grown after a cryptic post by Maddock Films started circulating on social media. A tweet that read, “Agar Cocktail 2 Jaldi release ho jaaye toh….” quickly went viral on Reddit and sparked discussions among fans.
Some fans believe the makers could prepone the film because of Rashmika Mandanna’s busy upcoming schedule. The actor will also appear in the pan-India film Ranabaali, which is expected to release in September too. Releasing Cocktail 2 earlier may help avoid clashes.
Cocktail 2 Release Buzz Triggers Debate Among Netizens
The teaser update has also triggered strong reactions online. Many users started debating the box office pull of the film’s lead actors.
One user commented, “Considering how lord shahid’s last venture was and with the ongoing surge in seeing Rashmika and Kriti everywhere – yeah, I think they will mint some money if they prepone it.”
Another wrote, “Shahid did get a lot of praise for his performance and it was not an outright flop like Shaandaar or Jersey…It won’t affect BO in a negative way.”
However, some users were not convinced about the film’s potential. One comment read, “Cocktail 2 is a sequel that no one asked for and that too with a new cast. Shahid, Kriti, and Rashmika don’t have strong box office pull.”
Another user added, “Kriti and Rashmika have box office pull but Shahid can’t bring audiences the same way. He has had only four CLEAN HITS in his career.”
At the same time, several fans defended the strategy of attaching the teaser to a big release. One comment said, “Attaching the teaser to Dhurandhar is a very smart strategy. It will reach the maximum audience possible.”
Others also pointed to the recent success of the female leads. A user wrote, “Kriti and Rashmika’s last few movies have done well in the box office, so that is just incorrect to say they have no pull.”
Unlike the original film, the new movie is described as a “spiritual sequel” that explores modern relationships and emotional conflicts.
According to industry buzz, the story may focus on a same-sex relationship between the characters played by Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. Shahid Kapoor’s character is said to become the third angle that complicates their bond.
If the rumours turn out to be true, the film could bring a fresh and bold narrative to mainstream Bollywood romance.Cocktail 2 wrapped production in January 2026. The teaser expected later this month may finally reveal the film’s official release plan and storyline.
Global crude oil prices may witness a sharp surge amid escalating tensions linked to the Iran–Israel conflict, with Qatar warning that prices could rise from around $87 to nearly $150 per barrel within two to three weeks. Such a spike in global energy prices could have significant economic implications for India, one of the world’s largest crude oil importers.
Rising Oil Prices Could Impact India’s Economy, Trade and Households
India imports nearly 85 percent of its crude oil requirements, making its economy highly sensitive to fluctuations in global oil prices. Any sharp increase in crude rates raises the country’s import bill, putting pressure on foreign exchange reserves and widening the trade deficit.
Higher crude prices also directly affect fuel prices in the domestic market
Higher crude prices also directly affect fuel prices in the domestic market, including petrol, diesel and cooking gas. This can lead to increased transportation costs, which often result in higher prices of goods and services across sectors, contributing to inflation in the economy.
Industries that rely heavily on fuel and transportation—such as logistics, aviation, manufacturing and agriculture—could face rising operational costs. For example, airlines may increase ticket prices due to higher aviation turbine fuel costs, while freight companies may pass on increased transport expenses to consumers.
Rising oil prices also put pressure on the Indian rupee, as higher imports require more dollars to pay for crude oil. A weaker rupee can further increase the cost of imports, creating a cycle that amplifies economic stress.
The government may also face challenges in balancing fuel taxation and subsidies. If international oil prices rise sharply, authorities may have to consider reducing excise duties or providing subsidies to shield consumers from steep price increases, which can affect government revenues.
Experts say prolonged high oil prices could slow economic growth by increasing production costs and reducing consumer spending power. At the same time, the situation highlights the importance of expanding renewable energy and reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Despite these challenges, policymakers in India closely monitor global energy markets and geopolitical developments to manage potential shocks and maintain economic stability.
The online registration for the Char Dham Yatra 2026 began on Friday, receiving an overwhelming response from devotees across the country. More than 1.24 lakh pilgrims completed their registration on the very first day, reflecting strong enthusiasm for the annual pilgrimage in Uttarakhand.
Over 1.24 Lakh Devotees Register Online on First Day for Char Dham Yatra 2026
According to officials, the highest number of registrations were recorded for the shrine of Kedarnath Temple. The temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and located in the Garhwal Himalayas, remains one of the most visited destinations of the Char Dham circuit every year.
Char Dham Yatra consists of four prominent shrines
The sacred Char Dham Yatra consists of four prominent shrines—Yamunotri Temple, Gangotri Temple, Kedarnath Temple and Badrinath Temple. Pilgrims undertake the journey through the Himalayan region to seek spiritual blessings and participate in traditional rituals at these revered temples.
Officials from the state government said the online registration system has been strengthened to manage the increasing number of pilgrims, ensure better crowd management and maintain safety during the yatra season. Registration is mandatory for devotees planning to visit the shrines.
Authorities have also made several arrangements to facilitate pilgrims, including improved transportation routes, better medical facilities, and enhanced disaster management systems along the pilgrimage route. These steps are aimed at ensuring a safe and smooth experience for visitors travelling to the high-altitude temples.
Tourism and pilgrimage activities linked to the Char Dham Yatra play a crucial role in the local economy. Thousands of people in hill districts depend on the yatra season for employment through hotels, transport services, shops, and other tourism-related businesses.
With such a strong response on the first day itself, officials expect the number of registrations to increase steadily in the coming days as devotees from across India prepare to undertake one of the country’s most significant spiritual journeys.
Bhagwant Mann Government’s ‘Mahila Udyami Samman Program’, launched to celebrate the spirit of women entrepreneurship on the occasion of International Women’s Day, is witnessing remarkable enthusiasm from women across the state. The initiative reflects the commitment of the AAP government to promote women’s empowerment and support women who are creating their own identity through entrepreneurship.
The first phase of the program was organized in all 117 Assembly constituencies of Punjab from March 2 to March 6, where women working in different forms of business and self-employment were honoured for their achievements and contributions. Each constituency honoured 100 women entrepreneurs, from villages or urban areas, received recognition for their efforts toward self-reliance.
The initiative has received an overwhelming response, with more than 28,000 nominations submitted through the Punjab State Rural Livelihood Mission (PSRLM) portal. The large number of nominations highlights the growing participation of women in entrepreneurship and their determination to become financially independent.
So far, award ceremonies have already been successfully conducted at the constituency level, where women entrepreneurs were felicitated in the presence of local representatives and community members. District and state level ceremonies are next, celebrating the achievements of women who have established themselves in fields such as small businesses, home-based enterprises, agriculture-related ventures, and various service sectors.
The recognition process under the program is being carried out in multiple stages. At the constituency level, around 11,700 women entrepreneurs are honoured. From these, 2,300 women will be selected to receive recognition at the district level across 23 districts, where 100 women from each district will be honoured for their outstanding contributions.
The final stage of the program will take place at the state-level ceremony on March 18, where the top 100 women entrepreneurs from across Punjab will be honoured by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Each of these selected women will receive a cash award of ₹25,000 in recognition of their entrepreneurial achievements.
The Punjab Government is celebrating International Women’s Day not merely as a single-day event on March 8 but as a month-long celebration dedicated to women’s empowerment. Through initiatives like the Mahila Udyami Samman Program, the government aims to encourage more women to step into entrepreneurship and become leaders of economic change within their communities.
The initiative is being widely appreciated as a meaningful step toward recognizing women’s contribution to the state’s economy and inspiring thousands of others to pursue self-reliance and innovation.
The Indian automobile manufacturer Tata Motors has released its refreshed Tata Punch Electric Vehicle (EV) facelift model. It promises to have some new visual updates and updated technology. The Punch EV is an urban-focused, efficient, and practical compact SUV that was launched in February 2026 to help Tata improve its market share in the booming electric mobility industry.
The new Tata Punch EV facelift has a starting price of ₹9.69 lakh (ex-showroom), and its target customers are primarily urban residents needing a practical, well-equipped, and efficient electric vehicle for everyday use and occasional long-distance driving.
Refreshed Exterior
In terms of exterior design, the new Tata Punch EV facelift incorporates multiple exterior changes that enhance the rugged nature of the Punch, while still being true to the original rugged style. These changes include new front and rear bumpers, new lighting, including new connected LED taillights, which give the Punch a new, modern and sleek look.
New exterior colours have also been added (brown and yellow), making the individual compact SUV stand out in urban settings. The Tata Punch EV continues to possess its unmistakable EV styling cues, including the unique charge port cover and LED daytime running lights.
The side profile of the Punch remains very similar to its predecessor; vibrant, yet compact, while maintaining a strong SUV stance.
Battery, Range and Performance
The Tata Punch EV facelift is offered with two battery pack options. The first option is a thirty kilowatt hour battery pack, while the larger version uses a forty kilowatt hour lithium iron phosphate battery pack.
The larger battery pack delivers a certified driving range of up to four hundred sixty-eight kilometres under standard testing conditions. Real-world driving range is expected to fall between three hundred thirty-five and three hundred fifty-five kilometres, depending on driving conditions.
The vehicle also supports sixty-five kilowatt direct current fast charging, which allows the battery to charge from twenty per cent to eighty per cent in about twenty-six minutes. A fifteen-minute fast charge can add approximately one hundred thirty-five kilometres of driving range.
Features and Technology
Higher variants of the Punch EV facelift offer a wide range of modern features. These include a twelve-point-three-inch touchscreen infotainment system, advanced driver assistance systems, ventilated front seats, a voice-controlled sunroof, a three-hundred-sixty-degree camera, and wireless charging.
Safety features include six airbags, electronic stability control, and hill hold assist as standard across variants.
