Meerut Delhi Expressway: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced toll hikes on the Meerut–Delhi Expressway, opening the doors for more daily commuters to instead opt for Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).

Connecting Meerut to Sarai Kale Khan, the Meerut Delhi Expressway toll hike has once again brought the cost of road travel into focus for thousands of daily commuters. The revised toll rates would come into effect from March 31, 2026 (midnight) and the increase would see a price hike of Rs. 5 to Rs. 45.

Meerut Delhi Expressway-Toll Hike Details

The toll would be increased to Rs. 175 from Rs. 170 for light vehicles such as vans, cars and jeeps. If the vehicle makes a return within 24 hours, the existing charges of Rs. 255 would now be Rs. 265.

Toll prices for mini buses would be Rs. 285 instead of Rs. 275 and the return journey would be Rs. 425 from Rs. 415. Heavy vehicles like trucks and buses would now have to pay Rs. 595 instead of Rs. 580 and return journey within 24 hours would now be worth Rs. 890 instead of Rs. 875.

Multi-axle vehicles would now pay Rs. 645 instead of Rs. 630, Rs. 1130 instead of Rs. 1105 and Rs. 930 instead of Rs. 905. If the vehicle crosses the toll plaza within 24 hours, they would be paying Rs. 970, Rs. 1700 and Rs. 1395, respectively.

Would Delhi–Meerut RRTS Emerge As A Viable Alternative?

Also known as the Namo Bharat train, the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) has been designed as a high-speed regional transit system. One of the biggest advantages of RRTS is its cost efficiency.

Commuters using the RRTS don’t have to worry about fluctuating fuel prices, especially with the Middle East crisis causing panic buying and inflated fuel prices in the last few weeks. They also don’t have to worry about vehicle maintenance or parking fees. Moreover, they are not burdened by congestion and other unpredictability associated with road travel.

Basmati Rice Test - India Gate Fails Safety Test

Basmati Rice Test: Basmati rice is a staple in millions of Indian homes. From kids to elders and gym-goers, everyone consumes it daily for energy, nutrition, and easy digestion. Among packaged rice brands, India Gate is the number one choice for its long grains, aroma and premium image. But how safe is it really?

A recent Basmati Rice Test by Trustified, India’s first 100% blind food testing certification program, reveals surprising results that every consumer should know.

India Gate Basmati Rice Is Popular But Not Without Risk

Trustified tested India Gate’s Feast Rozzana 1 kg variant (priced at Rs 100) across multiple safety levels:

  1. Heavy Metals: Lead, mercury and tin were below detectable limits. Arsenic and cadmium were found but remained within safe levels.
  2. Aflatoxins: B2, G1 and G2 were under limits, but B1 was detected—still within safety standards.
  3. Microbiological Safety: No harmful bacteria were detected, indicating proper hygiene and storage practices.
  4. Pesticides: Eight pesticides were found, but one (thiamethoxam) exceeded safe limits. The detected amount was 0.051 mg/kg, above the FSSAI limit of 0.02 mg/kg.

Experts warn that washing or cooking rice cannot fully remove pesticides absorbed into grains. This makes pesticide testing a crucial step for food safety.

What This Basmati Rice Test Means For Consumers

The Basmati Rice Test results show that even trusted brands can have hidden risks. While most safety parameters were within limits, the excess thiamethoxam is concerning. Consumers should consider:

  • Washing rice thoroughly before cooking reduces surface pesticides.
  • Buying organic rice when possible limits chemical exposure.
  • Checking trusted lab tests for brand safety information.

According to Trustified, blind testing helps identify these hidden dangers and empowers consumers to make informed choices. The full report is available on their website, showing which products pass or fail.

Alireza Tangsiri: Top IRGC Navy Commander Shot Down! Will Strait Of Hormuz Situation Send Shivers Down Markets Yet Again?

Alireza Tangsiri: Top Navy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) who ran the Strait of Hormuz has been killed today in Israeli strikes.

Who Was Alireza Tangsiri?

Alireza Tangsiri served as the IRGC Navy Commander and was known as an expert in asymmetric warfare tactics. Tangsiri’s primary expertise lied in formulating plans for swarm strategies, fast-attack craft and control over virtual maritime chokepoints. A powerful hardliner, Tangsiri was a staunch advocate of the Iranian policy of asserting dominance over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Under the leadership of Tangsiri, the IRGC Navy frequently conducted military drills and seized foreign vessels in the region. His untimely demise would be a symbolic blow to the strategic posture of the Islamic Republic of Iran in one of the world’s most sensitive energy corridors.

How Will Markets React?

Incidents in the past such as tanker attacks or confrontations between Iran and Western force have resulted in a surge in oil prices. Typically, investors respond with a “risk-off” approach, moving their funds into safe-haven assets such as gold, silver and US Treasury Bonds.

If tensions escalate following the reported death of Tangsiri, financial markets across the world could once again witness a similar pattern. However, it is highly unlikely as of now though the possibility could not be completely ruled out.

Iran may now respond by engaging in a series of military exercises signalling readiness for escalation, proxy attacks in neighbouring regions, increased harassment of commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and cyber operations targeting infrastructure. For now, one thing is clear that the Strait of Hormuz is once again at the centre of global attention and markets are watching closely, bracing for what might come next.

A confirmation of Tangsiri’s death, coupled with Iran’s response, will determine whether this incident remains a localized shock or escalates into a broader geopolitical crisis.

Pesticides In Your Food: Are THESE Common Fruits And Veggies Slowly Poisoning You? Mumbai Doctor Warns About Hidden Neurotoxins

Pesticides In Your Food Are THESE Common Fruits And Veggies Slowly Poisoning You Mumbai Doctor Warns About Hidden Neurotoxins
Photo Credit: Created with Gemini

Many people assume fruits and vegetables are always healthy. But according to a Mumbai doctor, some common produce can carry pesticides that may be harmful to health. 

Dr Manan Vora, an orthopaedic and sports doctor, says three foods in particular often show multiple pesticide residues. These chemicals can stick to the surface, especially on delicate leaves or tight clusters. While this does not mean you should stop eating fruits and vegetables, it does highlight how common pesticide exposure can be through our daily diet.

Eating fresh produce is important and scientists and doctors generally encourage it. But knowing where and how pesticides appear can help you make smarter choices at the grocery store and in the kitchen.

Key Produce With High Residues Of Pesticides

Dr Vora points to three types of produce that often contain higher levels of pesticides:

  1. Spinach – Its large surface area makes it easy for pesticide sprays to cling to the leaves.
  2. Delicate‑skinned fruit or vegetables – Soft skins make it difficult to remove residues by peeling.
  3. Grapes – Tight clusters allow pesticides to settle in hard‑to‑reach spots.

Tests of many conventional samples show that up to 90 per cent of them carry residues from more than one pesticide. Similar monitoring lists also often include apples and other popular produce. Washing and choosing organic options when possible may reduce exposure, but it does not guarantee pesticide‑free food.

What Research Shows About Pesticide Levels

According to data from the Environmental Working Group, produce like spinach and grapes rank among the items with higher pesticide residue levels, often because their texture or skin type traps sprays used in farming. In the United States, spinach remains one of the most pesticide‑contaminated vegetables tested by the USDA, with many samples showing insecticides that are banned in other regions due to health concerns.

Scientific studies also find that many fruits and vegetables contain detectable pesticide residues at levels above safe limits in some cases. A global analysis of market produce showed that over 40 per cent of fruit and vegetable samples had pesticides, and some exceeded maximum legal limits meant to protect consumers.

How To Reduce Exposure To Pesticides

Even though pesticides are common, there are practical steps you can take to reduce how much of these chemicals you consume:

  • Wash produce thoroughly under running water before eating.
  • Peel skin when appropriate, but know that some nutrients are in the skin.
  • Choose organic products when possible, especially for items known to carry higher residues. As per food safety experts, organic produce generally has lower synthetic pesticide levels than conventional produce.
  • Balance your diet with a mix of produce, including fruits and vegetables that traditionally carry lower pesticide residues.

Pesticides are used to protect crops from pests and disease, and strict limits exist in many countries to keep them below levels considered unsafe. But knowing which foods are more likely to have residues (and how to clean them) can help you make health‑minded choices without cutting healthy foods out of your diet.

Uttarakhand News: School Bus And Van Fare Rate List Released! Would The Reduced Burden Help Families During Today’s Energy Crisis?

Uttarakhand News: The Uttarakhand government has announced considerable relief to families and households in the state whose travel to and from schools and educational institutions via school buses and vans.

The Pushkar Dhami government in Uttarakhand announced that fares for school vans and buses have been revised by the State Transport Authority.

Uttarakhand News-Revised Fares For School Vans And Buses

Going forward, school administrations would now be able to charge (for buses) ₹3,200 for distances ranging from 20 to 30 kilometres and ₹2,200 for distances ranging from 1 to 5 kilometres. In contrast, the charges for distances ranging from 10 to 20 kilometres will be ₹2,700. For a distance of more than 30 kilometres, the fare has been fixed at ₹3,700.

For school vans, the fare would be ₹2100 for a distance of 1 to 5 kilometres, ₹2500 for a distance of 5 to 10 kilometres, ₹3000 for a distance of 10 to 20 kilometres and ₹3500 for a distance of more than 20 kilometres.

The Pushkar Dhami government also announced that buses that are presently being operated by the Garhwal Motor Owners would now be allowed to operate from Rishikesh and Haridwar to Dehradun.

Impact On Families During Today’s Energy Crisis

The decision by the Uttarakhand government to revise school bus and van fares comes at a time when families across India are grappling with rising living costs and an ongoing energy crisis.

In recent weeks, the energy crisis across the world has resulted in increased fuel prices. School buses and vans, which rely heavily on diesel or petrol, have seen operating costs rise significantly over the past few years. These costs are often passed on to parents in the form of higher fees, making daily school commutes a growing financial concern for many households.

For middle-class and lower-income families, even modest reductions could free up funds for other essentials such as utilities, food and education-related expenses such as tuition and books. By setting clear limits, the government has introduced a level of stability that can be especially valuable during uncertain economic times.

Jaipur Viral Video: Empowered Girl Destroys Bike After Minor Brush! Netizens Ask Hooliganism Or Gender Shield Activated?

Jaipur Viral Video: A new viral video from Jaipur has ignited a fierce debate across social media platforms. In the video, a woman could be seen angrily smashing a man’s motorcycle after a minor brush.

Jaipur Viral Video-Turn Of Events

In the video, a woman could be shouting and aggressively damaging a parked bike, allegedly after a close call or minor collision. The man involved decided not to retaliate and look stunned. A significant majority of social media users said that destruction of property and public aggression cannot be justified under any circumstance, regardless of gender.

It is important to be clear that condemning such behaviour is not anti-women. It is anti-violence and pro-accountability.

Social Media Comments

A social media user commented, “Breaking someone’s property over a minor issue is not empowerment. It is reckless behavior that should be called out. If roles were reversed, the reaction would be very different. Equality means equal accountability, not selective outrage.” Another user commented, “This is not strength, this is public disorder. Empowerment should uplift behavior, not justify aggression. We cannot normalize such actions in the name of gender. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it.”

A user wrote, “Smashing a bike does not prove confidence. It shows lack of control and respect for others. Calling this empowerment is misleading and dangerous. We need to stop glorifying such incidents.” Another user commented, “If empowerment means avoiding consequences, something is wrong. This is a clear case of hooliganism. Gender should not be used as a shield. Accountability must remain consistent.”

Another user wrote, “This incident sends the wrong message to society. Empowerment is about responsibility, not rage. Destruction of property is never justified. We need to draw clear lines.” A user commented, “There is a difference between standing up and acting out. This clearly falls into the second category. Such behavior damages the credibility of real empowerment. It deserves criticism, not applause.”

The broader strategy of the Delhi government is to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, integrate technology seamlessly to enhance service delivery and expand reach.

After Hyping Dhurandhar 2 For Days, Ram Gopal Varma Uses It To Create Buzz For His Next Film: ‘Want To Wipe Out My Entire Past And…’

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has once again praised Dhurandhar 2, but this time, he has also used the film to create excitement for his upcoming project. The director, who repeatedly praised Aditya Dhar’s action thriller on social media, said watching Dhurandhar 2 made him feel like his entire past work no longer mattered. He even added that he wants to be REBORN as a filmmaker after seeing the movie.

Varma has admired Dhurandhar 2 for its storytelling, performances, and technical brilliance. His latest statement grabbed attention because he linked his praise for the film with his next project, Syndicate. Many feel he is using the hype around Dhurandhar 2 to build curiosity for his own film. He also issued a dramatic warning to other filmmakers, suggesting they must learn from the new style of cinema or risk being left behind.

Ram Gopal Varma On Dhurandhar 2 And His Next Film Syndicate

Sharing his thoughts on X, Ram Gopal Varma revealed that Syndicate will explore a dark and intense theme. He wrote, “Syndicate is based on a premise – What if the entire law and order of India collapses in just one single day? It will be almost like a horror film, not because of any supernatural elements, but because it will bare open the horrors that exist in some human minds, which they can enact terrifyingly. Syndicate is about the rise of an organisation so powerful, so integrated, and so maniacally driven that it threatens the very existence of India. I believe that Syndicate is something which will match up to the post-Dhurandhar 2 era, and that is the reason for my decision.”

He explained why Dhurandhar 2 changed how he sees his own career. He said, “Here’s my take on why I want to wipe out my entire past and be a newborn or a reborn director post watching Dhurandhar 2… In effect, we all keep getting reshaped from time to time because of newer and newer experiences, which keep on elevating our benchmarks as they should. My benchmark films were The Sound of Music (Rangeela), The Exorcist (Raat, Bhoot) and The Godfather (Satya, Company, Sarkar). In my entire career, I was making films derived from those benchmarks and mainly from The Godfather.”

Ranveer Singh Starrer Sets A New Benchmark, Says RGV

Varma said that after watching the film, his earlier works now feel outdated. He shared, “But now, after seeing Dhurandhar 2, all my earlier films look like nothing. If The Godfather was my earlier benchmark in this genre, I now felt Dhurandhar 2 is like Godfather’s Godfather in the way, it redefined and reinvented everything, whether it’s craft, storytelling style, character design, background music, laying out emotional landscapes, artistes’ performances, action choreography, etc. So it’s common sense that I need to abandon the lessons learnt from the old schools of Coppola and join the new school of @AdityaDharFilms and that’s the only way one can stay updated.”

He concluded with a strong warning for other filmmakers and said, “It will be a suicidal blunder on the part of any filmmaker/writer/star, not to shed their egos and do an intensive academic research study of #Dhurandhar2 and then take a deep relook and then rework on whatever they believed so far, and drastically adapt. By not doing so, and if you all will still stick to the same old cinematic beliefs, which were brutally killed on March 19 th 2026, you too will die.”

About Dhurandhar 2

Talking about the film, Dhurandhar 2 stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role and is set in Lyari, Karachi, an area known for gang wars and turf battles. The film follows covert intelligence operations and shows the transformation of Jaskirat Singh Rangi into spy Hamza Ali Mazari. The cast also includes Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal.

Vaping and Health: A Stepping Stone to Freedom or Addiction? Physician Weighs In

Vaping and Health

Vaping and Health: For many years, vaping has been marketed as an amicable choice to replace harmful cigarettes and other forms of nicotine. This is one of the biggest reasons why there was a massive surge in the count of users of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in recent times. However, many health experts believe that vaping simply opens the door to another form of dependency instead of a stepping stone toward freedom from nicotine addiction.

Watch the video here.

Vaping and Health-The Pros Considered by Prospective Vapers

Among the most popular reasons cited by prospective vapers, the following are the most common:

  • Switching to vaping would reduce their exposure to harmful chemicals and reduce the risk of smoking-related diseases.
  • Vaping is often seen as a more socially acceptable option than smoking in certain settings. Moreover, the absence of ash, cigarette butts and smoke odour may appeal to some.
  • The ability to gradually taper the strength of nicotine provides smokers with a sense of control and authority over their addiction, which may be psychologically motivating.

Side Effects And Health Concerns

The side effects of vaping may vary from mild to severe. Short-term side effects include mouth and throat irritation, nausea, dizziness and coughing. Some users may experience increased blood pressure and heart rate following nicotine inhalation.

In rare cases, vaping may result in severe respiratory distress and the condition known as EVALI (e-cigarette or vaping-associated lung injury), which is primarily associated with certain unregulated vaping products.

The Risk of Dual Addiction

This may come as a surprise to many for first-time vaping users but people often end up vaping as well as smoking. Instead of serving as a bridge to complete cessation, vaping may sometimes perpetuate nicotine addiction. Dual users (vaping and smoking users) may expose themselves to compounded health risks, as they continue inhaling harmful substances from cigarettes while also introducing new chemicals through vaping.

Vaping may be a stepping stone to freedom from cigarettes for some, but without careful oversight, it can just as easily become another form of dependency.

Weight Loss: Do Green Chillies Help You Get Rid of Stubborn Abdominal and Visceral Fat? Certified Nutritionist Weighs In

Weight Loss: Losing body weight is undoubtedly a big challenge. But what if someone tells you that losing weight naturally is possibly with green chillies? Yes, you read that absolutely right! Green chillies can help you lose stubborn abdominal and visceral fat.

Weight Loss-Understanding Abdominal And Visceral Fat

Abdominal fat refers to fat that lies around the abdomen region, it is relatively less dangerous from a health perspective when compared to visceral fat.

On the other hand, visceral fat refers to fat that gets accumulated around body’s vital organs such as liver, intestines and pancreas. It could cause severe and debilitating health complications such as Type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases.

Green Chillies: A Spicy Tool in Weight Management

Green Chillies are rich in a compound known as capsaicin that plays a crucial role in fat burning and metabolism. Capsaicin helps in stimulating thermogenesis, the process by which the body burns calories by generating heat. The mechanism helps in increasing overall energy expenditure, which is essential for fat loss.

How Green Chillies Work Against Abdominal Fat?

  • Capsaicin increases the core temperature of your body that prompts it to burn more calories to maintain normal body function, resulting in fat loss.
  • Capsaicin could help in reducing hunger and cravings, especially for high-fat and high-sugar foods. This helps create a caloric deficit that is important for losing visceral fat.
  • Capsaicin enhances fat oxidation that is useful to reduce visceral fat deposits that are metabolically active and respond well to targeted interventions.
  • Capsaicin may positively influence gut microbiota, indirectly affecting weight regulation and fat storage.

Best Ways To Use Green Chillies For Weight Loss

  • Include green chillies in meals. To get started, slice or chop them and add to curries, salads or stir-fries. Cook them lightly so capsaicin could be retained while making green chillies easier to digest.
  • You may infuse them in herbal teas or water.
  • Alternatively, you may blend them with high-protein foods such as lean meats, yogurt and lentils or with fibre-rich foods like vegetables and whole grains.
