As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end, Muslims around the world prepare to celebrate Eid Ul Fitr 2026, one of the most important festivals in Islam. Along with Eid prayers, greetings, and festive meals, there is one important religious duty that must be completed before the Eid namaz — Zakat-ul-Fitr. This special charity holds deep spiritual meaning and plays a key role in ensuring that everyone can celebrate Eid with dignity.

During Eid Ul Fitr 2026, Muslims are reminded that the festival is not only about celebration but also about helping others. This is why giving Zakat-ul-Fitr before the Eid prayer is considered an essential part of the festival.

What Is Zakat-ul-Fitr?

Zakat-ul-Fitr, also known as Fitrana, is a compulsory form of charity that every eligible Muslim must give at the end of Ramadan. It is different from regular Zakat because it is a fixed donation given on behalf of every member of the family, including children and dependents.

Traditionally, Zakat-ul-Fitr is given in the form of staple food such as wheat, rice, barley, or dates, though many people today give the equivalent amount in money so it can be distributed to the needy.

Islamic teachings say that this charity has two main purposes:

To purify the fast from mistakes made during Ramadan

To help poor and needy people celebrate Eid without hardship

Scholars explain that the Prophet Muhammad made Zakat-ul-Fitr obligatory so that those who fasted could be spiritually cleansed and the less fortunate could also enjoy the festival. Because of this belief, giving Fitrana is an important part of Eid Ul Fitr 2026 preparations.

Eid Ul Fitr 2026: Why Zakat-ul-Fitr Must Be Given Before Eid Namaz

One of the most important rules about Zakat-ul-Fitr is the timing. It must be given before the Eid-ul-Fitr prayer (Eid namaz). If it is given after the prayer, it is counted as normal charity (Sadaqah) and not as Zakat-ul-Fitr.

There is a strong reason behind this rule. The charity is meant to reach poor families before Eid so that they can buy food, clothes or essentials and join the celebrations happily. If the donation is delayed, the purpose of helping them prepare for Eid is lost.

Islamic scholars also state that Zakat-ul-Fitr can be given during the last days of Ramadan, but it should be completed before people leave for Eid prayers. This ensures that the act of charity becomes part of the Eid worship itself.

Zakat-ul-Fitr also reminds Muslims that Eid is not only about celebration but also about compassion, equality, and gratitude. By giving charity before Eid namaz, believers make sure that no one in the community is left behind on the day of joy.

This is why, before offering Eid prayer in Eid Ul Fitr 2026, Muslims are encouraged to complete their Zakat-ul-Fitr so the festival begins with kindness, generosity and blessings for all.

Uttarakhand News: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has received a letter from Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu that the air service between the border town of Pithoragarh and Dehradun, the capital city of Uttarakhand, would commence soon.

Kumaon Would Get Its Air Services

It has been notified by the Union Government that the required formalities are being pursued by Skyhop Aviation Private Limited to initiate air services on the route under the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS).

The company has been handling operational and regulatory work regarding the route, including acquiring aircraft and obtaining the flight operator certificate. Once the formalities are completed, Skyhop Aviation would start regular flights on the route. Other airlines have also been contacted by the Central Government to commence services on the route.

Uttarakhand News-Present Day Operations From Dehradun

Presently, flight services from Dehradun include Delhi, Shamshabad (Telangana), Jaipur, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune and Kullu.

Previously, a detailed framework for the resumption and expansion of air services between Dehradun and Pithoragarh was successfully completed by the Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Development Authority (UCADA). Ashish Chauhan, the Chief Executive Officer of UCADA, had confirmed that all the required approvals have been secured for the flight operations.

The new route would significantly enhance regional connectivity while also promoting tourism, trade and commerce between the cities. It would help individuals and entrepreneurs cover the distance of 11 hours in less than an hour. The flight service would connect the state’s eastern regions to Dehradun including Sahastradhara, New Tehri, Almora, Chinyalisaur, Gauchar and Haldwani.

The Uttarakhand government is also contemplating the development of Joshimath, Mussoorie, Nainital, Dharchula, Haridwar and Ramnagar heliports in the near future. The state government is also likely to initiate air services from Champawat, Lansdowne, Munsiyari, Bageshwar and Triyogi Narayan Heliports.

Noida International Airport: The Wait Is FINALLY Over! Narendra Modi To Inaugurate On March 28, Here’s How It Will Prove a Gamechanger For UP

Noida International Airport: The much-awaited opening date of the Noida International Airport has been set to March 28.

Noida International Airport-Inauguration

The Jewar Airport would be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that an invitation has been sent to PM Modi to inaugurate the Noida International Airport on March 28, 2026.

Noida International Airport-Benefits For State Economy

The inauguration of the Jewar Airport would be a turning point for the state of Uttar Pradesh and adjoining regions. Over its full development cycle, the airport would become one of the country’s largest airports. It is likely to be the much-awaited infrastructure push that could decisively transform western UP’s economic and connectivity landscape.

The Noida International Airport (NIA) at Jewar would feature 28 aircraft parking stands, 10 aerobridges and a runaway that would be capable of handling approximately 30 flight operations every hour. It would feature a cargo hub characterized by an initial capacity of 2.5 lakh tonnes every year, expandable to 1.5 million tonnes in later phases.

Boost To Air Connectivity In Western UP

The Jewar Airport is likely to revolutionize air connectivity for the state’s western districts and beyond. The airport would directly serve Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida, Aligarh, Mathura, Vrindavan, Agra, Bulandshahr and surrounding areas that have been largely dependent on Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) by road.

Engine for Jobs And MSME Growth

Airports across the world have been known to be powerful economic multipliers and the Jewar Airport would be no exception. It would create thousands of direct as well as indirect jobs with many industry experts claiming that millions of jobs would be created within the next 3-5 years and more so going forward. Direct employment roles would range from airport operations, security, retail, hospitality, catering, facility management and ground handling.

The airport is also likely to accelerate the movement of people, goods, services and capital in Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas. This would turn the state into a magnet for both foreign and domestic investment. The “airport effect” around Jewar would also boost the creation of hotels, mid-rise and high-rise housing, commercial complexes, amusement parks and warehousing parks.

Over time, expressways, metro extensions and bus links would integrate Jewar into a larger regional growth network, making western UP one of the most infrastructure-rich pockets in the country. The airport can help correct historical imbalances in regional development. For years, Gurugram raced ahead of Noida despite both being part of the NCR, largely because of its immediate proximity to Delhi airport.

Chaitra Navratri 2026 - Do not offer these items to Goddess Durga
Photo Credit: Created with Gemini

Chaitra Navratri 2026 begins on March 19 and is one of the most important festivals dedicated to Goddess Durga. The nine-day festival is known for fasting, prayers and special rituals performed to seek blessings for health, success and peace. According to Hindu beliefs, Navratri starts on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada and ends on Ram Navami.

During Chaitra Navratri 2026, devotees will perform Kalash Sthapana on the first day and offer bhog to Maa Durga every day. Religious experts say that worship should be done carefully because offering the wrong items can make the puja incomplete. Some foods and objects are considered inauspicious and should not be offered to the Goddess, especially on the first day of Navratri.

Following the right rules is believed to bring blessings, while mistakes in rituals may reduce the spiritual benefits of the festival.

Things You Should Not Offer On Chaitra Navratri 2026

Experts suggest avoiding certain items during Durga puja to keep the worship pure and sattvic.

1. Onion And Garlic

Food prepared for bhog should be sattvic. Onion and garlic are considered tamasic, so they should not be used in prasad or meals offered to Maa Durga.

2. Certain Flowers

Not all flowers are suitable for Durga Puja. Doob, madar, harsingar, bel and tagar are believed to be inauspicious for offering. Always use fresh and clean flowers during worship.

3. Stale Or leftover Food

Bhog should always be fresh. Offering stale food is considered disrespectful and may reduce the positive effect of the puja. Devotees should prepare fresh prasad every day.

4. Broken Or Damaged Items

Broken idols, cracked utensils or damaged diyas should not be used in puja. Clean and proper items are preferred during Chaitra Navratri rituals.

5. Unclean Clothes Or Body During Puja

One should bathe, wear clean clothes, and keep the mind calm before performing Navratri puja. Worship without purity is believed to remain incomplete.

Why The Festival Is Considered Spiritually Powerful

Chaitra Navratri 2026 is a time when divine energy will be very strong. Each of the nine days is dedicated to a different form of Goddess Durga. Worship done during this period may give long-lasting results.

Religious traditions say Navratri is not only about fasting but also about purity in food, thoughts and actions. People who follow the rituals with discipline are believed to receive peace, prosperity and protection from negative energy.

Because of this, be careful about what you offer to Maa Durga during Chaitra Navratri 2026.

Delhi News: Rs. 1635 Crore Cleared, July Deadline In Sight! Would Mayur Vihar And Noida Residents Reach IGI Airport In A Jiffy?

Delhi News: Mayur Vihar and Noida residents travelling to Sarai Kale Khan, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Indira Gandhi International Airport are for a delight.

Rekha Gupta, the sitting Chief Minister of Delhi, has approved ₹1,635.03 crore budget for the Barapullah Phase-III elevated corridor. This would set a final completion deadline of June 2026, ensure signal-free and uninterrupted travel between East and South Delhi. This would also ease congestion on one of the busiest arterial roads of Delhi.

Delhi News Updates

The project was initially approved in December 2014 and construction started in 2015 and the delivery was scheduled to be completed in 2017. However, several deadlines were missed because of the arbitration disputes, pandemic, delays in shifting utilities and land acquisition challenges.

Originally, the approved cost was ₹1,260.63 crore but the project cost was then revised upward by ₹374.40 crore.

According to officials, the Barapullah Phase-III elevated corridor once completed would help in plugging a vital missing link in the Barapullah Corridor that presently connects Sarai Kale Khan in East Delhi to Central as well as South Delhi. The corridor is extensively used by passengers as an alternative uninterrupted route during peak traffic hours.

How Would It Benefit?

As of now, the journey to AIIMS from Mayur Vihar takes approximately 40-50 minutes during peak hours. The new link would help in reducing the journey time to 15-20 minutes, benefiting millions of daily commuters. The Phase III project would also ease traffic and congestion at some of the most-troubling bottlenecks for commuters, including Ring Road, Sarai Kale Khan, NH-24 and the Delhi-Noida Direct (DND) Flyway.

An official remarked that the Delhi government has set a completion target by June 30 this year. The three-lane flyover would offer 4 loops each in Mayur Vihar and Sarai Kale Khan along with dedicated cycle tracks. It would also improve access to a multi-modal transit hub that includes ISBT, DMRC, Indian Railways, NCRTC and the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway.

Assam Politics: Shot in the Arm For Himanta Biswa Sarma! Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi Quits INC, Joins BJP, Can THIS Impact Assembly Election?

Assam politics has taken an interesting turn as Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi has officially quit the Indian National Congress (INC) and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This move has sent ripples across the political landscape of Assam and is being seen as a significant boost for Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the ruling BJP ahead of the upcoming assembly elections.

Who is Pradyut Bordoloi?

Pradyut Bordoloi is a senior Congress leader and former MP who has been a prominent face of the party in Assam. Known for his political experience and influence in the state, his defection to BJP is being viewed as a strategic gain for the ruling party, especially in areas where Congress had maintained a stronghold.

Why Did Bordoloi Join BJP?

While Bordoloi hasn’t shared every detail publicly, insiders suggest that differences within the Congress party and the desire to contribute to Assam’s development under the current government played a role. His move indicates a growing trend of political realignments in the state, with leaders opting for parties that align with their vision or provide better opportunities to serve the public.

Impact on Assam Assembly Elections

  1. Boost for BJP in Congress Strongholds: Bordoloi’s influence in traditional Congress constituencies could help BJP make inroads where it previously struggled.
  2. Psychological Advantage: High-profile defections like this create a perception of momentum and confidence for the ruling party.
  3. Congress Setback: Losing a senior leader can weaken organizational structure and morale among party workers, affecting campaigning and voter outreach.

Himanta Biswa Sarma’s Strategy

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has been actively consolidating support and strengthening BJP’s position in Assam. Bordoloi’s inclusion is seen as part of this broader strategy to ensure that the ruling party has strong leadership in key constituencies, increasing the chances of success in the upcoming elections.

Dhurandhar 2 Review: Aditya Dhar’s much-awaited film Dhurandhar The Revenge will release on March 19 and the buzz around the movie is already huge. The film had paid previews from the evening of March 18 (today), and early reactions have started coming in. While official critic reviews are still not out, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has already shared his thoughts after watching the film.

His Dhurandhar 2 review quickly went viral on social media because of the strong and over-the-top praise he gave to the Ranveer Singh starrer. Many fans are now even more curious to see the film after reading his reaction.

RGV took to X (formerly Twitter) and called the film a cinematic revolution. He said the impact of the movie is so big that even the greatest films made in the past may look small in comparison. His wild statement created a lot of discussion online.

Dhurandhar 2 Review By RGV Goes Viral 

Sharing his review, Ram Gopal Varma wrote, “After last nights watch of #Dhurandhar2 in terms of it’s sheer cumulative impact in every which way, whether on it’s expected collections, audience euphoria, social influences, cinematic grammar breaking, and above all the psychological audio visual impact, it will be a SHOLAY x 100 level magnificence and is bound to make all the greatest films made so far starting from MUGHAL E AZAM onwards look like TV SERIALS (sic).”

The filmmaker continued praising the film and director Aditya Dhar in his Durandhar 2 review. He said that Dhurandhar 2 marks the start of a completely new era in cinema. According to him, the movie is so powerful that even top international directors should not miss it.

RGV wrote, “In the previous world of cinema, the very spelling of the word DIRECTOR will start from @adityadharfilms name, and it will be prudent and wise for even STEVEN SPIELBERG and CHRISTOPHER NOLAN to drop everything they are doing, and catch #Dhurandhar2 FIRST DAY FIRST SHOW (sic).”

After RGV’s tweet, social media users started reacting with mixed opinions. Some fans got excited after reading his review, but many others felt the praise was too much. Several users even trolled the filmmaker for comparing the movie with classics like Sholay and Mughal-E-Azam.

Read some user comments below:

“What are you smoking?”

“Calm down brother. The movie will still be great and at the Pinnacle even if Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg do not watch it. More important is that Bollywood directors watch it and learn to make better movies from it.”

“RGV calling Dhurandhar 2 the extinction of old cinema is stupid when his own movies are the reason people started watching South films instead. Meanwhile, Sholay still running in single screens 50 years later. Sit down uncle.”

“Enough of your sick Joke. Comparing Aditya Dhar to Steven Spielberg or Christopher Nolan! Are you gone nuts?”

“Yes, u r right. Your movies are looking like a joke in front of his, and you’re considered the ace of Indian cinema for such movies. Dhurandher has changed everything.”

“Reading this tweet reminded me of a Sprite ad some years ago that said “logon ko paise do, kuch bhi bol dete hain”

“Mr RGV either you are on the payroll, of whoever produced this tolerably well-made film ( and nothing more )  or you are in need of serious help. To put @AdityaDharFilms.and Steven Spielberg in the  same sentence is a sacrilege.”

Box Office Expectations Of Sequel

The film’s box office expectations remain very high. Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge continues the story of undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh, who lives under the identity of Hamza Ali Mazari. The story shows his dangerous mission inside Pakistan’s terror and political network as he tries to stop threats against India.

The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan and Sara Arjun, with Yami Gautam appearing in a cameo role. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the movie is getting a massive release with more than 17,000 shows across India in five languages.

Trade experts are expecting a record opening. Early reports suggest the film may earn over Rs 100 crore nett in India on the first day. With paid previews already crossing around Rs 47 crore, the worldwide opening could reach Rs 225–250 crore, which may become one of the biggest openings ever for a Bollywood film.

Anxiety: Can Stress Impact Your Erectile Function? Fertility & Advanced Andrology Expert Weighs In

Anxiety

Anxiety: For decades, erectile dysfunction (ED) has been considered a purely physical complication. However, anxiety and chronic stress are two of the most common psychological triggers of erection problems, particularly in otherwise healthy men.

Role Of Anxiety In Male Body’s Natural Sexual Response

Several studies have demonstrated that the male body’s natural sexual response could be disrupted significantly when mental pressure related to work, sexual performance or relationships piles up. This could cause difficulties in maintaining or achieving an erection. It may also cause problems in satisfying the partner or suffering from premature ejaculation. Therefore, it’s important that all men should break this cycle to restore sexual confidence.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction could be defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection. All men face occasional challenges but things may suggest a deeper and different issue when it becomes frequent.

Erectile function depends on countless interactions between the brain, blood vessels, hormones and nerves. Anything that interferes with this system such as psychological stress could manifest as erectile dysfunction.

How Anxiety Affects Erections?

Anxiety triggers the body’s fight-or-flight response, releasing stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones are known for preparing the body for danger instead of pleasure, narrowing blood vessels and redirecting the flow of blood away from the genitals and move toward major muscles and the heart. This reduces the supply of body required for an erection, making it challenging to stay hard or become aroused.

Tips To Manage Anxiety‑Related ED

  • Visit a certified and trusted mental health or ED specialist. During the visit, be truthful and engage in open communications with the medical professional.
  • Mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga and deep breathing could help calm the nervous system while also reducing anxiety before, during and after physical intimacy sessions.
  • Regular exercise such as cycling, brisk walking or strength training could be useful to support both cardiovascular health and sexual function.
  • Poor sleep, excessive alcohol, smoking and high caffeine intake could worsen anxiety and erectile function, and hence best avoided.

Priyanka Chopra Nick Jonas Type 1 Diabetes - Is it dangerous

Priyanka Chopra has opened up about her personal experience with Type 1 diabetes after marrying singer Nick Jonas, who has been living with the condition since childhood. While promoting diabetes awareness in India, the actor spoke about the fear she felt in the early days of their marriage and why awareness about the disease is still very low in the country.

Priyanka, who is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film Varanasi, has been actively supporting health campaigns related to diabetes. She was recently featured on National Geographic’s list of celebrities who are using their influence to spread awareness and encourage early diagnosis. During her interaction, the actor stressed that India has one of the highest numbers of diabetes cases in the world, yet people still do not fully understand the seriousness of the condition.

Speaking about the situation in India, PeeCee said, “awareness is really low.” She added that better education about the disease can help people avoid dangerous complications.

Priyanka Chopra Recalls Fear After Learning About Nick Jonas’ Diabetes

Priyanka also shared a personal moment from the early days of her marriage. She admitted that she was anxious when she first learned about Nick Jonas’ Type 1 diabetes and did not fully understand how serious it could be.

Talking about her fear, she said, “I used to wake up in the middle of the night sometimes, just to see if he was breathing.”

The actor said that learning more about the condition helped her become more confident and supportive. She encouraged people not to panic after diagnosis and to focus on proper treatment and lifestyle changes.

Sharing an important message, she said, “Don’t be afraid of the diagnosis… You can handle and live with this condition – and actually thrive with it.”

Doctors Explain Why Type 1 Diabetes Can Be Dangerous If You Don’t Treat It On Time

Health experts say Type 1 diabetes is a serious medical condition, but it can be controlled with proper care. According to medical guidelines, the disease happens when the body’s immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Without insulin, sugar stays in the blood instead of being used for energy, which can lead to serious health problems.

Doctors warn that if the condition is not treated, it can become life-threatening. One of the biggest risks is diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition that happens when the body starts breaking down fat for energy because it cannot use sugar properly. This produces acids called ketones, which can build up in the blood and may lead to coma or even death if not treated on time.

Experts also say that long-term uncontrolled diabetes can damage many organs. High blood sugar over time may affect the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves and blood vessels. This can increase the risk of heart disease, kidney failure, vision loss, nerve damage and infections. In severe cases, it may even lead to stroke or amputation.

However, doctors also stress that Type 1 diabetes is not a death sentence. With regular insulin, a healthy diet, exercise and routine check-ups, people can live a long and active life. Early diagnosis and awareness play a major role in preventing complications.

Ashwagandha: Does The Natural Stress Buster And Fertility Herb Cause Liver Damage? Expert Gastroenterologist Weighs In

Ashwagandha: Revered in Ayurveda as a fertility booster and stress reliever, Ashwagandha has been facing intense scrutiny over potential liver risks. Several gastroenterologists and hepatologists have claimed that being a natural herb does not translate to a safe option for everyone.

Ashwagandha-Fertility and Wellness Benefits

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an excellent adaptogen that helps your body manage stress, anxiety and depression by reducing the levels of cortisol (the stress hormone).

Several studies have demonstrated that the natural herb improves male fertility by boosting sperm count, health and motility while treating low testosterone in men. It may also be recommended to women as it improves ovarian function and cycle regularity, aiding conception in those with infertility issues.

In addition, Ashwagandha supports thyroid balance in subclinical hypothyroidism, reducing thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) while raising T3 and T4 hormones. It also helps in stimulating muscle recovery, sleep and anxiety reduction.

Is Ashwagandha Safe For Everyone?

Though a safe and natural herb, Ashwagandha may not be for everyone. Medical experts have suggested that long-term abuse or extremely high dosages could result in glutathione depletion, oxidative stress on mitochondria or liver damage in rare cases.

Who Should Strictly Avoid It?

Ashwagandha is not usually recommended to pregnant women as it could stimulate uterine contractions that may increase the risk of miscarriages. It is also not advised to individuals with thyroid disorders. The herb is also not advised to those with existing liver, kidney or prostate issues.

Ideally, you should use this herb only after the advice of your medical practitioner. You should only buy genuine Ashwagandha from a reputed provider of natural herbs. A dosage of 300-60mg a day of Ashwagandha root extract may be used in cycles of 8-12 weeks. Moreover, you should regularly track liver enzymes to ensure your safety.

Uttar Pradesh has witnessed significant changes over the past nine years under the leadership of CM Yogi Adityanath, with the government highlighting improvements across sectors such as investment, law and order, and education.

9 Years of CM Yogi Adityanath Govt

One of the biggest shifts has been seen in the investment landscape of Uttar Pradesh. The state has attracted large-scale domestic and global investments through initiatives like investor summits and policy reforms. The government claims that better ease of doing business, improved infrastructure, and faster clearances have helped position UP as a preferred investment destination.

From Investment Push to Law & Order, UP Sees Major Transformation

Law and order has been another key focus area. The government states that stricter policing, action against organized crime, and improved surveillance systems have strengthened public safety. Officials highlight a decline in major crimes and an increased sense of security among citizens as a major achievement during this period.

In the education sector, multiple reforms have been introduced to improve quality and access. The government has worked on upgrading school infrastructure, promoting digital learning, and ensuring better teacher accountability. Efforts have also been made to increase enrollment and reduce dropout rates, especially in rural areas.

Infrastructure development has played a crucial role in the state’s transformation. Expressways, airports, and connectivity projects have been expanded rapidly, boosting economic activity and regional development. These projects are also seen as key drivers for job creation and industrial growth.

The government has also focused on welfare schemes targeting different sections of society, including farmers, women, and youth. Financial assistance programs, skill development initiatives, and housing schemes have been implemented to improve the standard of living.

Officials say that the combined impact of these efforts is helping reshape the image of the state. From being seen as a lagging region, Uttar Pradesh is now positioning itself as a fast-growing economy with improving governance and infrastructure.

The government maintains that the focus will remain on development, investment, and public welfare in the coming years, aiming to further strengthen the state’s growth trajectory and provide better opportunities for its people.
