8th Pay Commission: The Central Government has finally appointed the 8th Pay Commission Director, almost one year after the 8th CPC announcement. The delayed hiring decision has generated more anger and frustration than relief. Ashish Yadav has now been appointed as the 8th CPC director on a deputation basis.

8th Pay Commission-Hiring Order

The director’s hiring order has now been stated in the office memorandum issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).

The appointment has been made by the Central Government under the Central Staffing Scheme. The hiring order specifies that Ashish Yadav has to join within a period of three weeks else debarment proceedings would be initiated against him. The Federation is furious that at one time the government is acting strict on paperwork but the ground-level preparations at the same time appear to be bleak.

Federation Furious

Dr. Manjeet Patel, National President of the All India NPS Employees Federation, remarked that the basic infrastructure, office setup and staffing would now initiate after the director’s name has been finalized. Patel added it would take several months at this pace just to get started with work. He went on to remark that the ‘ease of governance’ exists only in speeches but not in reality.

Patel demanded direct and quick intervention from the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He commented that PM Modi should immediately issue directions so that the 8th CPC could start work at war footing else millions of central government employees and pensioners would not be able to get their dues on time.

Uttar Pradesh’s villages are now forging a new identity of cleanliness and innovation. Innovative experiments of road construction from plastic waste, door-to-door waste collection for compost production and revenue generation have made the state’s rural landscape hi-tech.

So far, 75 kilometre long roads have been constructed from plastic waste in the state capital Lucknow including Rampur, Amethi, Lalitpur and Eta, which are presenting a new model of development with environmental conservation.

Panchayati Raj Department’s Director Amit Kumar Singh said, “On Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s directions, master plan for waste management has been prepared in Uttar Pradesh.
Under this, door-to-door waste collection has been started in gram panchayats and vermi compost production is being done.

From this initiative, more than 3 crore rupees income has been generated so far. Meanwhile, additional earning of 29 lakh rupees has been made from plastic waste management units. Under this scheme, Panchayati Raj Department is working on ‘Waste to Wealth’ model in the state.

Under Swachh Gaon Maha Abhiyan being run by Panchayati Raj Department, waste is being converted into resource. These experiments of road construction by proper utilisation of plastic waste, compost production from organic waste and increasing panchayats’ income are proving to be milestone in direction of making every village of state clean, self-reliant and empowered.
Innovative experiments will be done in every village of state through this scheme.

According to Panchayati Raj Department’s Director Amit Kumar Singh, department is committed to strengthen gram panchayats through innovation.

Protein Test: Lab Results Reveal What’s Really Inside B Green Plant Protein – Orange Flavour Reviewed, Check Video!

Protein Test - B Green Plant Protein Orange Flavour Tested

Protein Test: If you’ve ever wondered what goes into your plant protein, today’s test might surprise you. Trustified, a well-known testing platform, recently shared detailed lab retesting results of B Green Plant Protein, focusing on their orange flavour this time. 

Protein supplements are everywhere, but how do you know what’s really inside? This lab test gives a clear picture of what you’re consuming.

After testing the chocolate flavour last year, Trustified decided to retest B Green’s product with a new flavour. The orange flavour wasn’t available from third-party sellers, so the testers had to order it directly from the brand’s website using two anonymous accounts. 

The uncut unboxing video shows exactly how the product arrived. Only one sealed product from the same batch number was sent to the laboratory for detailed analysis.

Protein Test Results: Nutritional Accuracy Results

The first level of testing looked at basic nutrition per serving. One scoop of B Green Plant Protein weighs 36 grams, and the company claims it contains 22.32 grams of protein. 

According to the lab report, each serving actually contains 23.8 grams of protein, slightly higher than advertised. Carbohydrate and fat content per serving were also tested and compared with the company’s claims, providing a full picture of the nutritional profile.

Further Testing Assures Heavy Metals Within Safe Limits

Level Two testing focused on the amino acid profile, but no significant signs were detected. Level Three checked for contaminants like melamine, and the results were below the detection limit. Heavy metal testing found only cadmium, which was within safe limits. Level Five testing for F-toxins also showed levels below detection limits. 

Finally, Level Six checked for pesticides, and most were either undetectable or below detectable limits. Only elemental copper was found, again safely within limits.

Narendra Modi: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has blasted TMC, Congress and Left parties by saying that they only want to stay in the power so their pockets stay full. Modi added that governments of these parties never focused on improving the lives of the common man in their states.

PM Modi commented that India today is the world’s third-largest economy. The NDA Supremo added that the country today is a confident India, brimming with prosperity, development and self-assurance.

PM Modi Blasts Congress

Modi commented that the Congress party never thought of the country and the welfare of its people. It was primarily because the party lacked the required vision to make a difference. Modi said this was the primary reason why India suffered so much all these years.

Narendra Modi Blasts Mamata Banerjee Government

PM Modi blasted the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) led by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Modi commented that leaders from their party tend to speak on many issues but never look at their own shortcoming. The Indian PM remarked Bengalis are suffering in the state due to the West Bengal government that is more focused on protecting infiltrators and preserving power.

Addressing the Rajya Sabha, Modi remarked that today’s India is progressively moving ahead and entering into future-ready trade deals with some of the biggest world economies like the 27-member European Union bloc, USA, Australia and more.

Modi also remarked that while almost every world economy is ageing, the Indian economy is booming with a young and talented population that is all set and ready to make a significant contribution to the welfare, prosperity and development of India.

Modi went on to remark that a significant majority of his NDA government’s precious time was lost correcting the blunders of the previous Congress governments.

MRK Panneerselvam: “Nafrat Ki Dukan….” Says Shehzad Poonawalla! BJP, AIDAMK, JD (U), SP and Congress Blast Derogatory Comment On North Indians

MRK Panneerselvam

MRK Panneerselvam: The recent comments by Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader MRK Panneerselvam against North Indians have received backlash from several political parties including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Janta Dal (U), Samajwadi Party (SP), All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Congress.

Paneerselvam while speaking to DMK partymen at an event in Chengalpattu remarked that workers from North India visit Tamil Nadu just to sell pani puri, clean tables and to work at construction sites because they have only studied Hindi.

AIADMK spokesperson Kovai Sathyan remarked that the comments of Paneerselvam were highly condemnable. Sathyan remarked North Indians visiting Tamil Nadu are beaten, raped and murdered even though all they do is to contribute to the welfare and development of the state’s economy           .

Meanwhile, DMK insisted that the comments of Paneerselvam were not wrong or derogatory. It was commented by DMK spokesperson T K S Elangovan that they only highlight the plight of how states ruled by BJP treated their own people.

BJP Spokesperson Responds To MRK Panneerselvam Comments

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala took to X saying that bad-mouthing about North Indians is not new to politicians from the state of Tamil Nadu.

Shehzad referred to the 2026 speech of DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran when he said North Indian girls are told to stay home, bear children and work in the kitchen.

Shehzad also referred to DMK minister Durai Murugan who referred to the culture of North India as filthy and disgusting involving multiple spouses. The BJP spokesperson also referred to DMK minister TRB Rajaa who had remarked that women in North India are first asked about the jobs of their husbands.

Politicians From Different Parties Blast Regressive Comments

Meanwhile, several politicians from different party lines blasted the regressive comments of Paneerselvam.

These included JD(U) MP Sanjay Jha, SP MP Awadhesh Prasad, Congress MP Tariq Anwar, BJP MP Darshan Singh and BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal to name a few.

Cholesterol Hack: Celeb Nutritionist Reveals How 5 Kashmiri Garlic Cloves Can Transform Your Heart in 1 Hour

Kashmiri Garlic for Cholesterol

Are you struggling to manage your cholesterol? What if I told you that a simple kitchen ingredient could help? Imagine lowering your bad cholesterol and strengthening your heart using just garlic. That’s what top celebrity nutritionist Shweta Shah recently explained in a social media video.

Whether you’ve tried different diets or are curious about home remedies, this simple garlic hack might be worth a look before considering medicines.

Celebrity Nutritionist Shweta Shah’s Remedy

Shweta Shah is a well‑known Ayurvedic nutritionist who works with top Bollywood actors and sports stars like Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Rakul Preet Singh and Sakshi Dhoni. Many trust her tips because she blends traditional wisdom with practical advice. In a recent Instagram video, she talked about a natural remedy for cholesterol that surprised many followers.

According to her, if you want to naturally support healthy cholesterol levels, forget taking many supplements. Instead, she suggests using Kashmiri garlic, which is a popular variety known for its strong flavour. Here’s the simple method she shared:

  1. Take about 5 small cloves of Kashmiri garlic.
  2. Peel them and crush them well.
  3. Boil the crushed garlic in water to make a decoction.
  4. Once boiled, drink the water.
  5. After drinking, avoid eating or drinking anything for about one hour.

Shweta Shah says this helps increase good HDL cholesterol and lower bad LDL cholesterol, which is important for a strong and healthy heart.

How Garlic May Support Healthy Cholesterol Levels

Many people know garlic as a tasty kitchen spice, but it also has health‑boosting properties. Scientific research suggests that garlic contains compounds like allicin that may help reduce total cholesterol and bad LDL cholesterol when consumed regularly.

For example, scientific reviews show that garlic consumption can significantly lower total and LDL levels, and some studies also report a slight increase in good HDL cholesterol with regular intake. Other clinical trials show similar results, with regular garlic lowering cholesterol in people with higher lipid levels.

However, it’s important to remember that while garlic may support better lipid profiles, its effects are modest compared to prescribed cholesterol‑lowering medications, and results vary among individuals.

Still, incorporating garlic into your routine  (especially in simple forms like the Kashmiri garlic decoction) can be a natural step toward supporting heart health, alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise.

If you’re curious about natural ways to improve your cholesterol, this garlic method from a celebrity nutritionist could be an interesting experiment. It’s simple, inexpensive and many people find it fits easily into their daily routine. Just remember to check with your healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions or are on certain medications before trying new remedies.

‘Hiding Behind Speaker….’ Priyanka Gandhi Refutes Speaker’s Claims On PM Modi, Says No Plan to Harm Prime Minister

Priyanka Gandhi
Google

On February 4, 2026, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla stated that he had advised Prime Minister Narendra Modi against entering the House due to intelligence reports of potential “unexpected acts” near the PM’s seat. Birla described the conduct of certain opposition MPs during the session as a “black spot” in the parliamentary chamber.

The comments followed disruptions during the Motion of Thanks debate, when PM Modi’s address was canceled amid protests by opposition MPs, including women MPs seated near the treasury benches. Birla’s remarks suggested that the decision to prevent the PM from entering the House was based on concerns for his personal security amid the unrest.

Priyanka Gandhi Rejects Speaker’s Claims


Reacting outside Parliament, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra strongly refuted the Speaker’s claims, calling them an “absolute lie.” She asserted that there was no question of harming the Prime Minister, emphasizing that the allegations were entirely unfounded.

Gandhi accused the government of “hiding behind the Speaker,” suggesting that Birla’s statements were made on instructions from higher authorities. She said the PM “did not have the guts” to face the House, particularly in light of the protests involving three women MPs near the treasury benches.

She also questioned why opposition voices, including Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, were barred from speaking or citing public sources during the session. Gandhi urged the media to scrutinize the events and statements surrounding the parliamentary session.

On Protests and Parliamentary Conduct


Priyanka Gandhi clarified that the protests in the Lok Sabha were part of parliamentary procedure and centered on MPs voicing dissent against what they considered irrelevant or incorrect statements in the debate. She stressed that the demonstrations were non-violent and that no plans existed to physically threaten any member, including the Prime Minister.

Realme P4 Power: Unmatched Supremacy! Will 10001mAh Titanium Battery, Power Saving AI Features and Affordability Disrupt The Market?

Realme P4 Power
Google

Realme has launched the P4 Power in India, featuring a 10,001mAh Silicon-Carbon “Titanium” battery, a first for the country. The battery promises over 32 hours of continuous YouTube playback and retains 80% capacity after 8 years or 1,650 charge cycles. With 27W reverse wired charging and military-grade durability, it targets content creators and endurance-focused users, offering uninterrupted performance for heavy daily use.

AI-Powered Efficiency and Performance


Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra (4nm) processor and a secondary HyperVision+ AI chip, the P4 Power manages energy efficiently while maintaining smooth performance. Gaming and streaming remain stable even under high-load tasks at 144Hz, demonstrating the phone’s ability to combine long-lasting battery life with high-speed performance.

Display and Camera Highlights


The 144Hz quad-curved AMOLED display delivers bright, crisp visuals up to 6,500 nits, ideal for gaming and content consumption. Photography is handled by a 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS main camera, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 16MP AI-enhanced front camera. While not flagship-level, this setup covers everyday content creation needs effectively.

Affordable and Durable Mid-Range Option


Running Realme UI 7.0 on Android 16, the P4 Power comes in Trans Silver, Orange, and Blue. Priced under ₹25,000 with bundle offers like a 4-year warranty, it challenges mid-range rivals by focusing on battery longevity, AI optimisation, and durability rather than flashy specs alone.

Market Disruption Potential


By prioritising endurance over peak benchmarks, Realme may reshape mid-range expectations in India. For creators and heavy users, the P4 Power eliminates battery anxiety, delivering 2+ days of use without aggressive throttling, making it a strong contender against Samsung, Oppo, and other budget-conscious options.

RBI Repo Rate: After FM Nirmala Sitharaman’s Infra Push Budget 2026, Will Top Bank Reduce RR?

RBI Repo Rate
Image Credit: Google

RBI Repo Rate: According to a report by Nuvama Research, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is likely to keep the policy repo rate (the interest rate at which RBI lends money to commercial banks in times of fund shortage) unchanged, maintaining a neutral stance in the upcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) review.

The report stated that the country’s top bank is likely to maintain a “neutral” stance on February 6, 2026. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of RBI would announce the policy review decision by Governor Sanjay Malhotra. Experts believe the repo rate may stay unchanged at 5.25 percent amid robust gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecasts of 7 percent and inflation around 2.0-2.25 percent.

RBI Repo Rate-No Change Possible

Keeping the repo rate unchanged would signal stability in a benign inflationary environment. This would also help in supporting economic growth without “overheating” the Indian economy to align seamlessly with the growth theme of Union Budget 2026-27.

Steady rates would ensure that borrowing costs remain predictable for all stakeholders, enabling private investment to complement government spending on schemes such as India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 and Biopharma SHAKTI.

The neutral stance keeping in mind the concept of Viksit Bharat 2047 and a $30-40 trillion GDP by 2047 could help in sustaining momentum in priority sectors such as energy transition and digital infrastructure. It would foster a positive and powerful environment for job creation via services growth and Yuva Shakti initiatives.

Would RBI Defy Odds To Hike Repo Rate? Impact Explained

Though highly unlikely, a repo rate increase to 5.5-5.75 percent would raise the borrowing costs for banks in India. This could translate to higher loan EMIs for cars, businesses and homes, curbing investment and spending.

It may tighten liquidity, potentially slowing down the growth of GDP to prioritize inflation taming of pressures rise from global tariffs or food prices, while strengthening the Indian rupee through foreign inflows. A repo rate hike could be effective to counterbalance tax incentives and aggressive capex by inhibiting demand-pull inflation, ensuring fiscal discipline and supporting long-term stability for Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.

What If RBI Decides To Cut Repo Rate?

A cut of 25 basis points by the Reserve Bank of India could translate to low lending rates to boost consumer spending, credit flow, housing demand and business expansions while giving a push to bank liquidity. However, it may end up risking higher inflation through import cost pressure from a weaker rupee and capital inflows.

All in all, unchanged rates offer the safest path, harmonizing Budget 2026’s capex surge with Viksit Bharat 2047 goals.

Om Birla: Big Breaking! Probability Of An “Unforeseen Incident” Forced Me To Stop PM Modi From Entering Lok Sabha, What Was Brewing?

Om Birla: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has remarked that he had received observations and intelligence within the Lok Sabha that Congress MPs were planning to approach the podium of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create a ruckus and do something untoward.

Birla said he feared that something bad could happen to the Indian PM. The Lok Sabha Speaker further remarked that the occurrence of such an event could have been highly unpleasant and a dark day for the Indian democracy. Om Birla added that it was him who prevented PM Modi from entering the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

Om Birla-The Incident

On Wednesday evening, women opposition MPs gheraoed the empty chair of PM Modi. The Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that it was all part of a premeditated plan to “attack” the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Now, the statement by Om Birla has lent support and weight to the allegations of BJP.

Yesterday, Birla issued a warning to the opposition party members that their continued march towards the treasury benches was in conflict with the House’s dignity. On Thursday, Birla adjourned proceedings of the Lok Sabha till 12 pm after he expressed anguish over the conduct and unruly behaviour of opposition MPs on Wednesday evening.

Lok Sabha Speaker Blasts Behaviour Of Opposition Parties

The Lok Sabha speaker added that such unruly behaviour and conduct by elected members of Lok Sabha and representatives of the country’s entire population is a shame. Birla added that such kind of a behaviour degrades the laid-down dignity and decorum. He went on to comment that such an environment makes it difficult for any Presiding Officer to run the Lok Sabha.

At the time of the incident as claimed by Om Birla, PM Modi was not present in the House. PP Chaudhary, a member from the BJP, was making remarks on the Motion of Thanks in the context of the Indian President’s Address when members of opposition parties start marching into the Well of the House.
