Suzuki Access 125 Launched with Single-Channel ABS at Rs 92,328

Maruti-Suzuki-Grand-Vitara
Google

Suzuki Motorcycle India has launched the Suzuki Access 125 with single-channel ABS, making it one of the most affordable scooters in India to offer ABS. Priced from Rs 92,328 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the update marks a significant step towards improved rider safety in the mass-market 125cc scooter segment.

With this launch, the Suzuki Access becomes the first mass-market 125cc scooter in India to feature ABS, a safety feature previously limited to larger and more premium scooters.

Suzuki Access 125 with ABS: What’s New?

The key highlight of the update is the addition of single-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS), which is available exclusively on the top two variantsRide Connect ABS and Ride Connect TFT ABS.

Until now, ABS has largely been seen on 150cc-plus scooters such as the Yamaha Aerox 155, TVS Ntorq 150, Aprilia SR 175, and Hero Xoom 160, where it is mandated by regulation. Suzuki’s decision to introduce ABS on a smaller and more affordable scooter is a voluntary move, aimed at enhancing rider safety.

Variants and Pricing

The Suzuki Access 125 with ABS is available in the following trims:

  • Ride Connect ABS – Rs 92,328 (ex-showroom)
  • Ride Connect TFT ABS – Rs 98,378 (ex-showroom)

These variants command a premium of Rs 3,601 and Rs 4,501, respectively, over their non-ABS counterparts. Despite the price hike, the Access continues to remain among the most affordable ABS-equipped scooters in the Indian market.

No Mechanical Changes

Mechanically, the Suzuki Access 125 remains unchanged. It continues to be powered by a 124cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that delivers 8.4hp of power and 10.2Nm of torque. The engine is known for its refinement, fuel efficiency, and reliability, which have contributed to the scooter’s strong sales performance over the years.

Segment Impact

The Suzuki Access is one of India’s best-selling 125cc scooters and Suzuki’s highest-volume product. The addition of ABS strengthens its appeal, especially for safety-conscious urban riders. Industry experts believe this move could prompt other manufacturers to introduce ABS in smaller-capacity scooters as well.

Safety Gets a Boost in the 125cc Segment

With the introduction of single-channel ABS, Suzuki has raised the safety benchmark in the 125cc scooter category. The update reinforces the Access 125’s position as a well-rounded family scooter offering comfort, practicality, reliability, and now enhanced braking safety.

Bhagwant Mann Government Installs Air Conditioners in Government Schools to Provide Relief During Summer

In a significant step towards improving infrastructure in government schools, the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government has begun installing air conditioners in state-run schools to ensure a comfortable learning environment for students and teachers during the summer season.

Bhagwant Mann Government Installs Air Conditioners in Government Schools

Under this initiative, Cabinet Minister Dr. Baljit Kaur inaugurated the installation of air conditioners at a primary school in Ward No. 6 and a government school in Ward No. 10 of the Malout constituency. The move is part of the government’s broader effort to equip government schools with facilities comparable to those available in private institutions.

The initiative aims to provide relief from extreme heat, which often affects classroom learning and teaching efficiency during peak summer months. By improving classroom conditions, the state government hopes to enhance students’ focus, attendance, and overall academic performance.

Students and teachers at the beneficiary schools expressed happiness

Students and teachers at the beneficiary schools expressed happiness over the new facilities and thanked the Punjab government for prioritising their comfort and well-being. Educators highlighted that a better classroom environment directly contributes to improved teaching outcomes and student engagement.

The Aam Aadmi Party government has consistently emphasized strengthening public education by upgrading infrastructure, introducing modern facilities, and creating a student-friendly atmosphere in government schools across Punjab. Officials stated that similar upgrades will be carried out in other government schools in a phased manner.

This initiative reflects the Mann government’s commitment to quality education, equity in facilities, and the welfare of students and teachers, reinforcing the vision of making government schools a preferred choice for parents across the state.

Bhagwant Mann Govt launches year-long state-wide celebrations marking 649th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji, groundwork laid for historic 650th in 2027

Punjab News

The Bhagwant Mann Government on Wednesday infused Sri Khuralgarh Sahib with devotion, resolve, and historic intent as it formally launched state-level celebrations of the 649th holy Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj, setting in motion a year-long, state-wide observance leading up to the landmark 650th Parkash Purab in 2027. From the sacred soil of Sri Khuralgarh Sahib, revered as the birthplace of Sri Guru Ravidas Ji, the Bhagwant Mann Government signalled that the celebrations would extend far beyond a single congregation, carrying Guru Ji’s timeless message of equality, harmony, and human dignity from this historic shrine to every village and household in Punjab.

The three-day state-level event, marked by deep spiritual fervour and wide participation, will culminate on February 6 with the Bhog of Sri Akhand Path Sahib, when Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann will pay obeisance at Sri Khuralgarh Sahib and offer prayers for peace, prosperity, harmony, and brotherhood across the state.

The commencement of the state-level celebrations witnessed the presence of a large number of revered saints and spiritual leaders, underscoring the spiritual and social significance of the occasion. Among those present were Sant Kewal (Tap Asthan Sri Khuralgarh Sahib), President Sri Guru Sadhu Samparda Society Punjab Sant Nirmal Das Ji, National President Adi Dharm Mission Sant Satwinder Hira, Sant Dayal Nath Samundra, Sant Jagir Singh Nandachaur, Sant Dharmpal of Dham Chanan Puri Sahoura, Balkar Singh of Taggar Barara, Sant Ramesh Das of Sherpur, Sant Manpreet Das of Cheta, Sant Balwant Singh of Dhingrian, Satnam Singh of Pandori Sadhan, Sant Kuldeep Singh of Bassi Maroof, along with several other saints and spiritual figures.

Several senior leaders and dignitaries also paid obeisance, including Cabinet Ministers Harpal Singh Cheema, Tarunpreet Singh Sond, Harjot Singh Bains, Dr Ravjot Singh, and Lal Chand Kataruchak, Deputy Speaker Jai Krishan Singh Rouri, Chairman of the Punjab SC Commission Jasvir Singh Garhi; MLA Chabbewal Dr Ishank Kumar; Advisor to the Department of Culture and Tourism Deepak Bali; and other prominent personalities.

Addressing the media after paying obeisance, Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said, “The Punjab Government has resolved to celebrate the 650th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj in 2027 on an unprecedented and historic scale.”

Minister Harpal Singh Cheema stated that, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Punjab government has already launched a year-long series of programmes beginning with the 649th Parkash Purab, aimed at taking the teachings of Guru Ravidass Ji to every household.

He said, “The core objective of the year-long celebrations is to ensure that the life, philosophy, and message of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji reach every section of society. As part of this initiative, students across all schools, colleges, and educational institutions in Punjab will be sensitised to Sri Guru Ravidass Ji’s teachings, ideals, and contribution to social reform.”

Minister Harpal Singh Cheema reiterated the Punjab Government’s full commitment to propagating Guru Ji’s teachings and said that special educational, cultural, and social programmes are being planned across the state throughout the year.

Deputy Speaker Jai Krishan Singh Rouri highlighted the profound historical and spiritual importance of Sri Khuralgarh Sahib, stating that congregations held at this sacred site play a crucial role in strengthening social unity and harmony. He said that the teachings of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj give humanity a timeless message of equality, brotherhood, love, and collective welfare, and that the state-level event at Khuralgarh Sahib would further reinforce these values in society.

Cabinet Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond stated, “Sri Khuralgarh Sahib is a major centre of faith not only for devotees from Punjab but from across the country. He noted that Sri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj’s teachings instil the spirit of equality, compassion, and selfless service.”

He assured that comprehensive arrangements have been made for the convenience of the Sangat and added that the Punjab Government is planning multiple programmes throughout the year as part of preparations for the 650th Parkash Purab in 2027.

Cabinet Minister Harjot Singh Bains said that the life of Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj symbolises struggle, simplicity, and dedication to human welfare. “Guru Ji’s teachings continue to guide society towards truth and righteousness and added that the state government remains committed to the development of religious places and the creation of better facilities for devotees,” he added.

Cabinet Minister Dr Ravjot Singh stated that Sri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj gave society the powerful message of rising above caste, discrimination, and social hierarchy to serve humanity selflessly. “Guru Ji’s ideas are even more relevant in present times and appealed to the Sangat to adopt these teachings in their daily lives,” he added.

Cabinet Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak said that the Punjab Government is firmly committed to promoting goodwill, brotherhood, and equal opportunities for all sections of society in accordance with the teachings of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj.

Chairman of the Punjab SC Commission Jasvir Singh Garhi said that Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj’s teachings are a strong foundation for social justice, equality, and human welfare. “Guru Ji gave society the message to eradicate discrimination and inequality and added that sustained efforts are being made to translate these ideals into action through effective implementation of welfare schemes aimed at the social, educational, and economic upliftment of Scheduled Castes,” he added.

Chabbewal MLA Dr Ishank Kumar said that the state-level congregation being held on the sacred land of Sri Khuralgarh Sahib serves as a powerful centre of spiritual energy for the Sangat. “The teachings of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj inspire people to follow the path of truth, compassion, service, and devotion. An egalitarian and strong society can only be built by embracing Guru Ji’s ideas,” he asserted.

AAP Punjab Slams BJP Over Modi-Trump “Secret Deal”; Warns It Will Destroy Indian Farmers and Hand Over Nation’s Markets to America

Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab today launched a fierce attack on the BJP-led Central Government over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s alleged “secret trade deal” with US President Donald Trump, warning that the agreement is a direct conspiracy to ruin India’s farmers and destroy the country’s agriculture economy.

Addressing a press conference in Chandigarh on Wednesday, AAP Punjab Chief Spokesperson Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said it is shocking and humiliating that when the issue concerns India’s future and the livelihood of over 80 crore people, the details are not being shared by the Prime Minister in Parliament, but are instead being revealed through Trump’s tweets.

“Who is Trump to the people of India? He may be Mr Modi’s “friend”, but why is he announcing India’s policies on social media while the Prime Minister maintains silence? What deal has been struck behind closed doors, and why is it being hidden from the nation?” the AAP leader asked.

Dhaliwal warned that under this deal, the BJP is preparing to open India’s doors for American agricultural goods at zero tax, which will destroy Indian farmers by flooding the market with cheaper imported products. “This is not trade. This is surrender. This is BJP’s plan to finish the agriculture sector in India so that their capitalist friends can profit,” Dhaliwal said.

Dhaliwal reminded that farmer unions and several Chief Ministers had earlier warned the Centre that if any agreement is made with the US, agriculture must be kept out because Indian farming is already in deep crisis. “But BJP is again trying to bring the same ‘black farm laws’ back through the back door,” he said.

Dhaliwal also raised alarm over the health and food safety risks of chemical-heavy American produce and warned that the deal could also force India to stop purchasing oil from Russia and shift to costlier imports from the US, leading to massive inflation. “When fuel becomes expensive, everything becomes expensive. This deal will hit every household,” he stated.

Dhaliwal also cornered BJP’s Punjab leadership, asking why they are maintaining a criminal silence on an issue that directly threatens the state’s backbone – agriculture. The AAP spokesperson questioned whether BJP leaders in Punjab have the courage to tell farmers where they will go once American wheat, maize, soyabean, cotton, dairy, fish, meat and other products enter India at near-zero tax and destroy local markets.

“Punjab is a farming state. If this deal is implemented, what will happen to our wheat belt, our cotton belt, our dairy farmers, and our own fish markets? BJP Punjab leaders must answer, where will our farmers go, where will our agriculture go, and what future will be left for Punjab?” the spokesperson asked.

MLA Dhaliwal demanded that PM Modi immediately disclose the full agreement, including all terms and conditions, in the Lok Sabha and to the people of India.

Dhaliwal declared AAP will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with farmers and will fight this “anti-farmer, anti-Punjab, anti-India” deal both inside Parliament and on the streets until it is scrapped. “Punjab is the backbone of India’s agriculture. If this deal is implemented, Punjab will be devastated. AAP will not allow BJP to sell India’s farmers for political friendships and corporate profits,” the party asserted.

Bhagwant Singh Mann Govt sharpens investment drive to open new opportunities for Punjab’s youth

CM Mann

On the second day of the Mumbai Investment Roadshow, the Bhagwant Singh Mann-led Punjab Government stepped up its investment outreach with a clear and deliberate focus on translating capital inflows into jobs for the State’s youth, as part of its build-up to the Progressive Punjab Investors’ Summit 2026.

Beginning with high-level engagements and moving through sector-specific and financial discussions, the Government of Punjab presented a coherent chain of opportunities, from strengthening MSMEs and enabling their transition into large enterprises to attracting global investors in manufacturing, logistics, and emerging sectors.

The series of outcome-oriented meetings reflected a calibrated strategy to deepen partnerships with corporates and financial institutions, expand industrial capacity, and lay the foundation for sustainable, skilled, and long-term employment, positioning Punjab as a hub for youth-led industrial growth and entrepreneurship-driven economic expansion.

The delegation began the day with high-level one-to-one meetings with leading industry groups, including Sanathan Textiles and Mahindra Group, where discussions centred on opportunities in textiles, automotive, farm equipment, defence manufacturing, and supply-chain integration. The meetings explored possibilities for new investments as well as expansion of existing operations in Punjab, leveraging the State’s skilled workforce, industrial infrastructure, and policy stability.

A key highlight of the day was the CXO Roundtable with leading private equity firms and financial institutions, convened to deliberate on financing pathways, growth capital, and structured support for scaling Punjab’s MSMEs into large and globally competitive enterprises. Senior leadership from Baring Private Equity India Investment Managers LLP, JM Financial Ltd, Avendus Wealth Management, Neo Wealth and Asset Management, OAKS Asset Management, Alvarez & Marsal, and Think Law participated in the roundtable. Discussions focused on strengthening the MSME-to-large-enterprise pipeline through patient capital, governance support, and strategic market access, positioning Punjab as a preferred destination for MSME-led industrial growth.

During the roundtable, the CEO of Invest Punjab made a detailed presentation on Punjab’s reform-driven governance framework, the FastTrack Punjab single-window system, and time-bound approvals, while the Administrative Secretary, Investment Promotion, highlighted the State’s commitment to policy certainty and investor facilitation. The session concluded with an interactive open house and networking luncheon, enabling direct dialogue between investors and the Government of Punjab delegation.

Following the roundtable, the delegation held focused meetings with UAE-based DP World to discuss logistics, rail-linked inland terminals, and multimodal infrastructure aimed at strengthening Punjab’s export competitiveness. This was followed by interactions with Avenue Supermarts, UPL Limited, and the International Institute of Sports Management, covering sectors such as organised retail, agri-inputs, food systems, and sports education and infrastructure. These engagements underscored Punjab’s diversified sectoral opportunities across manufacturing, services, agri-business, logistics, and emerging industries.

A representative from Invest India also participated in the day’s engagements alongside the Government of Punjab delegation, reinforcing collaborative efforts to attract domestic and global investments into the State and align Punjab’s investment outreach with national investment promotion initiatives.

The Mumbai Investment Roadshow continues to serve as a strong platform for engaging institutional investors, industry leaders, and financial partners, while formally extending invitations for their participation in the Progressive Punjab Investors’ Summit 2026. The engagements showcased Punjab’s readiness to scale businesses, promote research and development, and integrate with national and global markets through a stable and investor-friendly ecosystem.

Skoda Kylaq’s Game-Changing Safety, 7 Airbags and Hill-Hold for Ultimate Kid Protection, Check Features

Skoda- Kylaq
Google


The Skoda Kylaq, a compact SUV designed specifically for Indian roads, has achieved a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating for both adult and child occupant protection. This recognition highlights the brand’s commitment to family safety without compromising on style or performance.

Comprehensive Safety Features

Every Kylaq variant comes equipped with six airbags, including front, side, and curtain airbags. Safety is further enhanced with ABS paired with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), and traction control, ensuring the vehicle remains stable on city streets and highways alike. A notable feature is hill-hold control, which prevents rollback on inclines, providing extra confidence during urban driving, particularly when carrying children.

Additional technologies such as tyre pressure monitoring, rear parking sensors, and multi-collision braking add layers of protection, making the Kylaq a reliable choice for families who prioritise safety in everyday driving conditions.

Child-Focused Safety

The Kylaq is thoughtfully designed for younger passengers. It comes with ISOFIX child seat anchors and top-tether mounts, allowing for secure and simple installation of child seats. Parents can also deactivate the front passenger airbag when using rear-facing seats, significantly reducing the risk of injury in the event of a collision. These features make the Kylaq especially appealing to families looking for a compact SUV with comprehensive safety coverage.

Why the Skoda Kylaq Stands Out

By combining high-end safety technology, family-oriented features, and practical urban driving aids, the Skoda Kylaq delivers peace of mind to drivers and passengers alike. Its 5-star Bharat NCAP rating positions it among the safest options in its segment, catering to Indian buyers who seek reliability, security, and comfort in a compact SUV.

The flats are available across all categories, making the scheme accessible to a wide range of government employees. Notably, 1 BHK flats under the scheme have already been sold out, indicating strong demand.

Karmayogi Awaas Yojana aims to acknowledge the contribution of government employees

According to DDA, the flats are situated in Narela A1–A4 (Pocket-9) and have been developed with a focus on planned urban living, connectivity, and essential civic infrastructure. The homes are ready for immediate possession, allowing beneficiaries to move in without construction delays.

The Karmayogi Awaas Yojana aims to acknowledge the contribution of government employees by providing them with affordable and secure housing in the national capital region. By offering freehold properties, DDA has ensured complete ownership rights for buyers, adding long-term value and security.

The scheme will remain open for applications until March 31, 2026. Interested applicants can complete the booking process through the official DDA e-services portal. DDA has urged eligible applicants to apply well in time, considering the rapid uptake witnessed in certain flat categories.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday conducted a detailed review meeting of the Housing and Urban Planning Department in Lucknow, focusing on long-pending residential and commercial allocation matters across the state.

CM Yogi Adityanath Reviews Housing and Urban Planning Department

During the review, the Chief Minister instructed officials to implement the One Time Settlement Scheme (OTS–2026) to ensure swift resolution of cases related to delayed, disputed, and outstanding allotments. The scheme aims to provide a time-bound, transparent, and citizen-centric solution to issues that have remained unresolved for several years.

Yogi emphasized that prolonged pendency in housing

CM Yogi emphasized that prolonged pendency in housing and commercial allotments causes unnecessary hardship to citizens and affects public trust in governance. He directed department officials to simplify procedures, ensure accountability, and eliminate avoidable delays while executing the scheme.

According to officials, OTS–2026 will facilitate the settlement of old dues and disputes through a structured framework, offering relief to allottees while safeguarding government interests. The Chief Minister underlined that the scheme should be implemented with complete transparency and fairness, ensuring that eligible beneficiaries receive timely relief.

Reiterating his government’s commitment to efficient urban governance and public welfare, CM Yogi stated that development initiatives must directly benefit citizens and strengthen ease of living in urban areas. He also instructed officers to closely monitor the progress of the scheme and submit regular reports to the government.

The review meeting reflects the state government’s continued focus on administrative reforms, urban development, and responsive governance, aligning with Uttar Pradesh’s broader development roadmap.

Small Phone, Big Specs? Vivo X300e Emerges as Potential Value-Focused Flagship, Check Leaks

Vivo- X300e
Google

Vivo is reportedly preparing a new addition to its premium X series, with the Vivo X300e surfacing in the GSMA IMEI database. This marks the first “e” variant in the lineup, signalling a more affordable take on the compact flagship concept. While official specifications remain scarce, the IMEI listing confirms active development and regulatory testing alongside the Vivo X Fold6.

Compact Flagship Context

The X300e follows the recently launched Vivo X300, which impressed users with its 6.31-inch LTPO 1.5K display, MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, 200MP ZEISS main camera, and a 6000mAh battery. The X300’s slim 7.95mm body and high-end features make it a favourite for users seeking “small phone, big specs.” Industry observers suggest the X300e could offer similar advantages at a lower price point.

What the “e” Variant Could Bring

Leaked information indicates the X300e may target value-conscious users without compromising key features. Vivo has experimented with “e” or FE models in past series to broaden access to flagship experiences. While details like display, camera, and battery remain unconfirmed, the model is expected to balance performance with cost, possibly trimming premium hardware to make it more accessible.

Pricing and Availability

Early rumours place the X300e around ₹59,990 in India, making it a potential competitor for other compact flagship devices. No official launch date is currently available, but the appearance in the IMEI database often precedes announcements by several months. Users and tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting leaks on chipset details, camera capabilities, and possible design tweaks.

Multiple raids were conducted simultaneously at identified hotspots to disrupt supply chains and prevent further circulation of narcotics.

143 Smugglers Arrested on Day 339 of ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’

Beyond enforcement, the campaign continues to focus on rehabilitation and social reform. Forty individuals were motivated and guided towards de-addiction and rehabilitation programmes, reflecting the state government’s dual approach of strict action against traffickers and compassionate intervention for victims of substance abuse.

According to official data, the cumulative impact of the campaign over 339 days has been substantial. A total of 47,435 drug smugglers have been arrested so far, highlighting the consistency and intensity of Punjab Police’s efforts to curb the drug menace.

CM Yogi Adityanath: India–US Economic Partnership to Strengthen Uttar Pradesh’s Defence Manufacturing and $1 Trillion Economy Vision

The growing India–United States economic partnership is set to play a crucial role in strengthening Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath’s vision of a $1 trillion economy, while giving fresh momentum to the state’s defence manufacturing sector. The collaboration is expected to boost investment, technology transfer, and employment generation across key industrial regions of the state.

CM Yogi Adityanath: India–US Economic Partnership to Strengthen Uttar Pradesh’s Defence Manufacturing

According to the Government of Uttar Pradesh, this strategic partnership will significantly accelerate the development of the UP Defence Industrial Corridor, positioning the state as a major hub for defence production in India. Enhanced cooperation with the US will open doors for advanced defence technologies, global best practices, and increased foreign direct investment.

A major outcome of this collaboration will be the creation of high-skilled employment

The Defence Industrial Corridor, spanning key nodes such as Jhansi, Lucknow, Kanpur, Aligarh, and Agra, is expected to evolve into a network of technology-driven manufacturing hubs. These regions will witness the establishment of modern production units, research facilities, and innovation centres, strengthening Uttar Pradesh’s industrial ecosystem.

A major outcome of this collaboration will be the creation of high-skilled employment opportunities, particularly in engineering, electronics, and aerospace sectors. The focus on advanced manufacturing and technology integration is expected to generate quality jobs for skilled youth, aligning with the state government’s employment-driven growth strategy.

The partnership will also provide a significant boost to the MSME sector, enabling small and medium enterprises to integrate into the defence supply chain. This inclusion will enhance local manufacturing capabilities, promote entrepreneurship, and ensure wider economic participation across districts.

Officials noted that the India–US economic cooperation reflects Uttar Pradesh’s emergence as a preferred destination for global investors, driven by policy reforms, infrastructure development, and ease of doing business initiatives under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership.

With sustained investments and technology expansion, the defence manufacturing push is expected to give Uttar Pradesh’s economic growth a new trajectory, reinforcing its role as a key contributor to India’s industrial and strategic capabilities.

Weight Loss: Delhi Doctor Exposes 5 Surprising Daily Mistakes Secretly Draining Your Energy And Packing On Fat

Weight Loss Mistakes: Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, the weight just won’t budge? Or that you’re constantly tired, even after a full night’s sleep? In a video on his YouTube channel Healthy Hamesha, Delhi doctor Saleem Zaidi reveals why this happens, and it’s not because you lack effort.

According to him, most people unknowingly make a handful of daily mistakes that silently sabotage their energy, metabolism and body shape. Once you know them, you can fix them without extreme dieting or exhausting workouts.

Weight Loss Mistakes You Must Know

Mistake 1: Eating Like You’re 20

One of the most common traps is continuing to eat the same way you did in your twenties. Dr Zaidi explains that our metabolism naturally slows with age and overeating (or consuming too many processed foods) can quickly lead to fat gain. The solution isn’t starving yourself. Instead, adjust your portions, prioritise protein, reduce junk foods and avoid liquid calories like sweet tea, coffee, soft drinks and fruit juices. Eat until you’re just slightly hungry and your body will respond better.

Mistake 2: Taking Sleep For Granted

Sleep is not a luxury. It’s a foundation for weight loss and overall health. Many adults ignore their sleep needs, thinking they can survive on 4-5 hours. Over time, this leads to fatigue, poor focus and slower metabolism. Dr Zaidi recommends creating a sleep-friendly routine: keep your room dark and cool, switch off screens an hour before bed and maintain consistent sleep and wake times. Quality sleep helps your body recover, burn fat efficiently and restore energy

Mistake 3: Ignoring Strength Training

Walking and cardio are helpful, but they aren’t enough. Without strength training, you lose muscle mass, which slows metabolism and reduces fat-burning capacity. Dr Zaidi emphasises 3–4 sessions per week of resistance exercises, using weights, resistance bands, or even household items. Strong muscles support joints, maintain body shape, and boost energy naturally.

Mistake 4: Relying On Motivation Alone

Motivation fades quickly. The key to lasting weight loss is discipline and systems, not temporary inspiration. Keep your environment supportive: remove junk food, keep workout gear ready and make healthy habits frictionless. Over time, these small systems lead to automatic, sustainable results.

Mistake 5: Ignoring Hormones

Hormonal imbalances are often mistaken for “normal ageing.” Low testosterone, thyroid issues, or estrogen-progesterone imbalance can slow metabolism, reduce energy and increase fat storage. Many of these can improve naturally through proper sleep, strength training, stress management and a clean diet. In some cases, medical intervention is necessary.

Weight loss isn’t about punishing diets or endless cardio. By avoiding these five daily mistakes, you can burn fat, build muscle and regain energy naturally. Small, consistent changes in eating, sleep, exercise and habits can transform your body (no extreme measures needed).

MP Viral Video: In a heart-wrenching incident that has ignited outrage across Madhya Pradesh and the country, an 80-year-old grandmother was allegedly abandoned at the bustling Mandsaur bus stand by her own grandson. The elderly woman can be seen in a now viral video feeling helpless and crying.

MP Viral Video-What Led To The Incident?

The video revealed that the grandmother was stranded because the wife of her son and she had a minor fight. After the fight, the son’s wife asked her husband to throw the elderly woman out of the home. Unable to defy his wife, the son reportedly delegated the cruel task to his son, the grandson, who executed it coldly.

Visibly distraught, the grandmother could be seen sobbing and sharing her plight with people who came to assist her.

Reactions Of Social Media Users

Netizens felt angry on the grandson who had made her grandmother an object of family neglect. Eyewitnesses at the Mandsaur district bus station reported that the elderly woman was accompanied by a man. The man offloaded the belongings of the elderly woman before speeding away, leaving the woman stranded at the Mandsaur bus stand.

The MP viral video has amassed thousands of views on platforms such as Instagram and X (previously Twitter), sparking heated debates on family values and elder care in India.

A social media user commented, “Shame on such a son”. Another commented, “It’s surely the start of Kalyug”. A user commented, “This is pathetic, hope I don’t have this kind of useless children”.

Local authorities, including Mandsaur police, have taken cognizance after the video surfaced. According to media reports, Mandsaur police is now investigating the incident under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.

This Mandsaur grandmother abandoned case has exposed the dark side of modern day family dynamics, where disputes turn toxic in seconds and elders bear the brunt.

Delhi Dehradun Expressway: Opening Date Locked? Here’s How Baghpat And Shamli Residents Will Benefit?

Delhi Dehradun Expressway

Delhi Dehradun Expressway: The Delhi Dehradun Expressway is all set to be inaugurated in the month of February 2026. Once fully operational, the 210-kilometre corridor would reduce travel time between Delhi and Uttarakhand’s Dehradun to just 2.5 hours from the existing 6-7 hours.

The Expressway starts near Akshardham in Delhi. A large portion of the expressway is designed starting near Geeta Colony in Delhi as an elevated corridor. The expressway’s first toll plaza would be located in Loni where highway patrol units and ambulance services would be stationed. Users can access help via the highway helpline number 1033.

The Delhi Dehradun Expressway would pass through Delhi, Baghpat, Shamli, Muzzafarnagar and Saharanpur before it enters Uttarakhand. A dedicated link at Baghpat would connect the Delhi Dehradun Expressway to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. The highway would be classified as a greenfield corridor beyond Baghpat.

Delhi Dehradun Expressway: Toll Plaza Fees

The maximum speed limit would be set to 80 kilometres per hour for trucks and 100 kilometres per hour for cars. Commuters can cross 4 toll plazas by paying a fee of just Rs. 60 with a FASTag annual pass. Without the FASTag annual pass, the cost would be around Rs. 500.

How Baghpat And Shamli Residents Will Benefit?

The expressway would benefit Baghpat and Shamli residents in countless ways. For instance, it would boost the growth and development of industries such as factories, warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing units across strategic locations. It would also help in attracting thousands of retailers from Delhi NCR to expand their base in Baghpat and Shamli.

It would also help investors looking for investment avenues to purchase plots and other regional properties.

The expressway would also benefit villages such as Kashmabad Urf Dudbha, Alawalpur, Mukarampur, Katha, Kamrudin Nagar, Fugana, Rajpur Chhajpur, Kasampur, Khiyawadi, Halgoya Mushtakam, Baduli Naya Gaon, Nainsob Mushtakam, Rasoolpur Kheri Ahtmal and Jainpur Mushtakam.

Leg Strength After 40: Stairs Feel Hard, Walks Exhausting? Harvard Doctor Warns You’re Losing It, Shares 5 Moves To Regain Power

Leg Strength After 40 - Signs of weakening, ways to regain power

Leg Strength After 40: For many people over 40, simple tasks like climbing stairs or walking long distances start feeling harder. You might think it’s just normal ageing, but there’s more to it. Harvard-trained doctor Saurabh Sethi recently shared a warning on Instagram.

Weak legs after 40 can quietly put your health and independence at risk. This isn’t just about looking fit, but also about survival.

Why Leg Strength Matters After 40

Dr Sethi explains, “Ageing doesn’t automatically take away independence -weak legs do. After 40, losing leg strength quietly increases the risk of falls, fractures, loss of independence and even early mortality.” Strong legs not only keep you mobile but also protect your entire body.

For instance, Hip fractures carry a 20–30% one-year mortality rate in older adults. Leg muscles make up over half of your total muscle mass and act as your body’s largest metabolic engine. Most blood sugar is cleared by skeletal muscles after meals, especially the legs. Weak leg muscles can lead to poor glucose control, higher insulin and more visceral and liver fat. Building strength in your legs can help with fatty liver, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, triglycerides and inflammation.

Leg strength also benefits your brain. Higher leg strength is linked to better memory, slower cognitive decline and lower dementia risk. In short, your legs do more than move you. They keep your body and mind healthy.

Signs You’re Losing Leg Strength

It’s not always obvious when leg strength is declining, but there are warning signs you should never ignore:

  • Stairs feel unusually hard
  • Getting up from the floor is difficult
  • Long walks leave you exhausted

These aren’t just normal signs of ageing – they indicate that your muscles are weakening and action is needed.

5 Simple Moves To Build Strong Legs

Dr Sethi suggests easy exercises you can start at home to rebuild leg strength:

  1. Squats – Basic bodyweight squats strengthen thighs and glutes.
  2. Lunges – Forward or walking lunges improve balance and coordination.
  3. Step-ups – Use stairs or a sturdy platform to work quads and calves.
  4. Walking uphill – Adds resistance naturally and strengthens lower body muscles.
  5. Stairs daily – Regular stair climbing improves endurance and leg power.

Even bodyweight exercises or resistance bands work well. Combine these with proper nutrition, regular movement and recovery to see the best results.

Strong legs aren’t just about fitness. They are the foundation of health, independence and longevity.

Manipur News: The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has lifted the President’s Rule in Manipur with immediate effect.

Tarun Chugh, the BJP’s central observer for selecting the party’s Manipur leader, has remarked that the name of Yumnam Khemchand Singh as the state’s Chief Minister was suggested by former Chief Minister N Biren Singh. In another development, Nemcha Kipgen, a former Minister and senior Kuki leader, has been selected as Deputy Chief Minister.

Singh would meet Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla to stake his claim to form the state government. Yumnam Khemchand Singh would take the oath of Manipur CM today at 6 pm.

Manipur News: Latest Developments

The 62-year-old Yumnam Khemchand Singh, who is a black belt in Martial Arts, would replace N Biren Singh who resigned last year after which President’s Rule was imposed on February 13, 2025. In August last year, the President’s Rule was extended for another six months.

About Yumnam Khemchand Singh

Yumnam Khemchand Singh is the first Indian ever to receive a 5th Dan Black Belt in traditional South Korean taekwondo, a prestigious rank reserved for the art’s custodians and senior masters. Last year in Seoul, the honour for Yumnam Khemchand Singh came when Mayong Suk, Vice President of the Global Traditional Taekwondo Federation, handed him a signed certificate by 6 grandmasters led by Jun Lee, the Federation’s President.

Khemchand, a Meitei MLA, visited the two relief camps of the displaced Kukis in Ukhrul and Kamjong districts that are dominated by Nagas. Khemchand successfully interacted with the Kuki inmates to end the conflict that had kept the state on the boil since May 2023.

His constant efforts for peaceful dialogues and reaching out to the Nagas and the Kukis were pivotal in him being promoted over Biren Singh as the next chief minister of Manipur.

In 2022, Khemchand was also a strong contender for the post of Chief Minister but Biren Singh was choosen over him for the second term.

Shark Tank India 5: ‘Daily Soap Jaisa Laga…’ Neha Marda Accuses Makers Of Over-Dramatising Her Pitch By Editing The Episode

Balika Vadhu actress Neha Marda got the idea for her business after struggling with body odour post-pregnancy. When she appeared on Shark Tank India 5, she asked for an investment of Rs 1.8 crore in exchange for 1% equity. Neha did get a deal, but with a condition – she had to pay Aman Gupta and Anupam Mittal three times the royalty, amounting to Rs 5.4 crore.

For those unaware, Neha Marda pitched her personal care brand Phitku on Shark Tank India 5. The brand offers a premium alum-infused underarm roll-on inspired by her own postpartum body odour struggles.

Her pitch began with a creative qawwali performance. The Sharks put her under intense scrutiny. Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta questioned the product’s “fragrance-free” claim, asking if it was just a “gimmick.” Namita Thapar challenged the Rs 999 price, doubting whether Indian consumers would pay so much. Amit Jain raised concerns about the transparency of their finances and their ambitious Rs 180 crore valuation.

Despite the tough questioning and some Sharks dropping out, Neha secured a deal. She received a combined Rs 3.6 crore from Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta. This was for 1% equity plus a royalty.

In a media interview, Neha and her brother Sumit shared their thoughts on how their pitch was edited and discussed the royalty decision.

Neha Marda Shares Her Shark Tank India 5 Experience

Talking about her experience on the show, Neha said, “Aisa laga jaise ek hi samay mein 10th aur 12th board ka exam de rahe ho. Maine bahut saare producers se paise liye hain, lekin kabhi bhi investors ko apna business pitch nahi kiya.”

Sumit added, “Maine pehle bhi kai investors ko pitch kiya hai, lekin yahan yeh alag tha. Sirf investors se baat karne se hi poora ecosystem badal jaata hai. Wahan makeup hota hai, lights hoti hain aur paanch sharks ek saath aap par sawalon ki bochhar karte hain. Jab aap ek ka jawab khatam karte ho, to agla sawal aa jaata hai. Maine bahut saare investors se paise liye hain, lekin yeh alag tha.”

Their Reaction To The Edited Episode

Neha Marda expressed disappointment over the edited episode. The actress said, “Episode ek daily soap drama ke telecast jaisa laga jisse main khud ko jod paayi. Hum Shark Tank mein lagbhag do ghante the aur aapne jo dekha woh lagbhag 17 se 20 minute ka tha. Isliye bhale hi yeh ghatna itni badi lag rahi ho ki sharks ne itne saare sawal uthaye, lekin itni zyada charcha kabhi nahi hui thi. Jis hisse mein unhe baat samajh mein aayi, woh telecast nahi hua.”

Sumit added, “Yeh pehli baar tha jab maine experience kiya ki music aur editing ek daily soap mein kitna bada farq la sakte hain. Jab humne episode dekha, to hum bhi soch rahe the, oh, aage kya hoga.”

Neha further said, “Ad aane se thik pehle aisa laga ki hume deal nahi milegi aur mujhe hairani hui ki kya hua, kyunki hume ek pal ke liye bhi aisa mehsoos nahi hua tha. Humne shuru se hi socha tha ki hume deal mil jaayegi.”

Sumit concluded, “Amit ke sawal real the aur agar do top sharks ne business mein invest kiya, to yeh zahir hai ki sab kuch clear tha, isliye unhone invest kiya. Lekin haan, ise thoda zyada dramatize kiya gaya, jo asal mein aisa nahi tha.”

Shark Tank India 5 continues to air fresh episodes from Monday to Friday on SonyTV and SonyLIV.

Ghaziabad News: A new twist has emerged in the triple suicide case of three girls in Bharat City Society, Indraprastha Yojna in Ghaziabad.

The Hindu father of the girls had married two sisters and all of them were living together, in contravention to the Hindu Marriage Act. Chetan Kumar, the father, is a trader by profession and did not have any children from his first wife. He then married the younger sister of his wife and went on to have three children. In the meanwhile, he also had two children with his first wife.

Ghaziabad News-What Happened?

Three minor sisters [Nishika (16), Prachi (14), and Pakhi (12)] living in Flat No. 907 in B-1 Tower of Bharat City Society committed suicide after jumping from their 9th floor home around 2:15 am.

Nishika was the daughter from Chetan’s first wife while the other two were daughters from the second wife. For the last two years, the girls were not attending school because of financial issues and poor academic performance.

Police suspect that the three girls were addicted to an online task-based game called “Korean Lover.” that they all had been obsessively playing since the COVID-19 period. Many believe that the girls were glued to Blue Whale Challenge also known simply as the Blue Whale. The 14-year-old Prachi (the middle sister) was the game’s leader.

The girls were getting impatient and furious because their parents had refused to give them mobile phones. This prompted them to commit suicide. All three had jumped off before residents and the security staff could rush to save them. All were taken to a hospital in Loni immediately but all of them were declared brought dead.

In a suicide note, they apologized to their parents and detailed their gaming activities.
