Chirag Paswan criticises own government in Bihar: 'Gopal Khemka's murder worrying'
Union minister Chirag Paswan on Sunday criticised the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government in Bihar over the murder of businessman Gopal Khemka in Patna's Gandhi Maidan area. Union minister and LJP chief Chirag Paswan.(ANI) "If such an incident happens in a posh locality of Patna, then we can only imagine what is happening in villages," Chirag Paswan, whose Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) is part of the NDA government in Bihar and at the Centre, said. Paswan called Gopal Khemka's murder "worrying" and said strict action needs to be taken to set a precedent. Also Read: 'The police came..': Gopal Khemka's guard contradicts cops' version, flags three-hour delay 'It is worrying to see such incidents occur under a government that was known for good governance; then the opposition will have a chance to speak up. Strict action needs to be taken to set a precedent so that such a thing is not repeated,' Paswan said. The statement comes following the killing of Bihar-based businessman Gopal Khemka outside his house in Gandhi Maidan locality at 11.40 pm on Friday. Khemka, who was reportedly associated with the BJP, was shot dead by an unidentified armed assailant when he was about to alight from his car. Khemka's murder comes seven years after miscreants had gunned down his son in Hajipur. Following the murder, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar convened a meeting on Saturday to review the law and order situation and instructed officials concerned to complete the investigation into the killing of Khemka at the earliest. Also Read: Who was Gopal Khemka, BJP leader and Patna businessman shot dead outside home Opposition leaders, including RJD's Tejashwi Yadav and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, also attacked the Nitish government over the law and order situation in the state. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the incident has once again proven that the BJP and CM Nitish Kumar have together made Bihar the "crime capital of India". The Congress leader also asserted that in the upcoming polls, the vote will not be just to change the government, but to save the state. Tejashwi also attacked the NDA government saying that law and order has collapsed in Bihar and went on to claim that the state has witnessed "65,000 murders" in the last couple of decades.

Dalai Lama's 90th birthday: Rituals, VIPs in Dharamshala; highlights from celebration
AP photo NEW DELHI: The 14th Dalai Lama , Tenzin Gyatso, marked his 90th birthday on Sunday with a large celebration in Dharamshala, his home in exile since 1959. Despite heavy rain, monks, nuns, and followers from across the world gathered at the Tsuglagkhang temple complex to honour the Tibetan spiritual leader. The courtyard was filled with red-robed monks, traditional music, and heartfelt tributes. Tibetan artists played drums and bagpipes, and senior lamas struck cymbals as the Dalai Lama arrived dressed in a traditional maroon and yellow robe. 'I live my life in the service of other sentient beings,' he told the audience, reflecting on his journey. 'When I look back on my life, I see that I have not wasted it at all.' Union Ministers Kiren Rijiju and Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh represented the Indian government. Among international guests was Hollywood actor Richard Gere , a long-time supporter of the Tibetan cause, who called the Dalai Lama 'the most extraordinary man to ever walk on this planet.' Messages also poured in from global leaders. Prime Minister Narendra Modi described him as a symbol of 'love, compassion, patience, and moral discipline.' US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Dalai Lama continues to inspire unity and compassion, while former US presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton also shared personal tributes. Celebrations in Dharamshala followed a week of events, including the Dalai Lama's announcement that the spiritual lineage would continue after his death, ending years of uncertainty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Across Himachal Pradesh, tributes continued. In Shimla, monks at the Dorjidak Monastery offered long-life prayers, led by Nawang Tashi Rapten, a young monk recognised as the reincarnation of Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche. He also cut a ceremonial cake. Tibetan monk Kunga Lama called the birthday 'a celebration of identity and unity,' saying the Dalai Lama is not only the spiritual head but also 'the guide for the entire Tibetan culture of peace and compassion.' Celebrations were also held in Nepal and in Tibetan settlements around the world, with prayers, chanting, and traditional dances. Born Lhamo Dhondup in 1935 in northeastern Tibet, the Dalai Lama was recognised as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama at age two. He took full spiritual and political authority by 1950 but fled to India after Chinese crackdown in 1959. He has since become a global advocate for non-violence, interfaith harmony, and human rights.

Where to find affordable housing and studio rentals in UAE 2025: Best picks for bachelors, newcomers
In 2025, bachelors and newcomers can find studio rentals in the UAE ranging from Dh20,000 to Dh40,000 annually in key affordable areas./ Image composite: Property Finder, Marketplace With its ever-growing appeal to young professionals, job seekers, and first-time expatriates, Dubai continues to experience a surge in demand for affordable living options. In particular, bachelor-friendly studio apartments have become a top choice, offering newcomers a cost-effective way to settle in the UAE's bustling metropolis. However, with rental regulations tightening, especially on illegal partitioned spaces, finding affordable yet legal housing is becoming a challenge. Experts from Damac Properties and Keycraft Real Estate recently shared their perspectives on where to find affordable housing in Dubai and its neighboring emirates, such as Sharjah and Ajman. These insights will help those new to the UAE and budget-conscious individuals navigate their options in 2025. Key Affordable Studio Rentals in the UAE: What You Need to Know As rental prices continue to climb in Dubai, the search for budget-friendly housing can feel overwhelming. In a conversation with Gulf News, two industry experts, Roel Lacuesta, General Manager at Keycraft Real Estate, and Zaid Hamed El Khatib, Executive of Business Development at Damac Properties, shared their insights on affordable studio rentals for bachelors and newcomers in 2025. Lacuesta explained that studio apartments in Dubai generally range from Dh28,000 to Dh37,000 annually, offering a reasonable entry point for those looking to start fresh or job-hunt in the city. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo Meanwhile, El Khatib noted that studios in more budget-friendly areas typically range from Dh20,000 to Dh40,000 per year. These areas offer a mix of affordability, accessibility, and livability, making them attractive to young professionals and first-time renters. Lacuesta also emphasized that, with Dubai continuing to attract young professionals, it's essential to choose neighborhoods that offer both budget-friendly rents and good connectivity to the city. Some of the most popular and cost-effective areas for studio rentals include: International City: Dh26,000 – Dh36,000 – Known for its diversity and affordability. Deira: Dh20,000 – Dh35,000 – Offers central location and vibrant cultural experiences. Al Warsan & Al Warqaa: Dh22,000 – Dh32,000 – Quieter, emerging areas with affordable studio options. Dubai Sports City: Dh24,000 – Dh35,000 – Popular with students and active professionals. Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO): Dh28,000 – Dh45,000 – A tech hub offering modern infrastructure. Al Nahda, Al Qusais & Bur Dubai: Dh32,000 – Dh40,000 – Well-connected areas with central access. Even in more premium neighborhoods like Damac Hills 1 and Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), where amenities are more luxurious, studios still remain relatively accessible at about Dh50,000 annually. The Importance of Location and Public Transport Accessibility Location plays a crucial role when selecting affordable housing. Lacuesta emphasizes that proximity to public transport is one of the most important factors for budget-conscious renters. 'Affordable options for bachelors and job seekers tend to be in older or outer communities, where rents are lower. However, access to public transport is still essential. Living near a Metro or bus station can make a significant difference in convenience and reduce commuting costs,' said Lacuesta. He highlights the following neighborhoods for their excellent transport connectivity: Dubai : International City – Affordable, with good bus access. Al Qusais – Close to the Metro, older buildings with lower rents. Muhaisnah (Sonapur) – Very affordable, with many labor accommodations. Satwa, Deira, Al Rigga – Central locations offering shared accommodations. Sharjah : Al Nahda, Al Majaz, Rolla, Al Qasimia – Popular with newcomers commuting to Dubai. Ajman : Al Nuaimiya, Rashidiya, Al Jurf – Some of the cheapest rents in the UAE. Affordable living in these areas allows renters to maintain proximity to the heart of the city while reducing their transportation expenses. Flexible Living and Shared Spaces: Catering to Newcomers and Expats In 2025, flexible leases and shared living spaces are becoming more common, providing a viable option for newcomers who may not yet want to commit to long-term contracts. El Khatib mentions that co-living operators are filling the gap in the market for transient workers and expats. Areas like Dubai Marina, JLT, and Business Bay now feature monthly or quarterly rental agreements that often include furnishings, Wi-Fi, and utilities. 'Startups like Hive Coliv, Nomad Homes, and The Cohost are addressing the growing demand for flexible, community-based living options,' said El Khatib. "These setups are especially attractive to young professionals and expats who need short-term housing without a long-term commitment." Lacuesta agrees, noting that platforms such as Dubizzle, Property Finder, and Facebook Marketplace are flooded with listings for shared apartments, rooms, and even weekly stays. For those who are not yet ready for an annual lease, these options offer much-needed flexibility. For those seeking furnished, serviced co-living spaces, Nest by Arada and Uninest in Sharjah and Ajman offer fully furnished units with flexible terms. These spaces cater specifically to students and young professionals, providing a hassle-free living experience. What to Expect in Budget Studio Rentals When renting a budget studio, tenants can expect basic amenities and furnishings. According to both experts, typical budget-friendly studios include: Basic furnishings such as a bed, wardrobe, and kitchenette. Air conditioning (either split or window units). Utilities such as DEWA and internet are usually not included and are charged separately. Some buildings may offer shared amenities like gyms or swimming pools. Renters may need to pay a security deposit equal to one month's rent, which is usually refundable. A typical unfurnished budget studio can cost anywhere from Dh1,500 to Dh3,500 per month, depending on the location. For instance, Deira offers studios ranging from Dh2,800 to Dh3,500, while Sharjah's Al Nahda offers more affordable options, starting at Dh1,800 per month. One great deal found on Property Finder is a studio in Al Murar, near Diplomat Hotel, available for Dh26,000 per year. This unit is just 10 minutes away from the Metro and is surrounded by essential services like banks, restaurants, and clinics, making it ideal for job seekers looking for convenience and affordability. Key Considerations: Avoiding Illegal Partitions Both experts caution against opting for partitioned rooms, which are often found in high-density neighborhoods but may not meet safety standards or municipal regulations. These makeshift setups typically involve curtain partitions, violating housing codes and presenting safety risks. 'Always ensure that the property is Ejari-registered,' said Lacuesta. "If you're renting a full unit, confirm with the landlord whether partitions are officially approved." Final Thoughts: Balancing Budget and Accessibility Dubai's rental market continues to evolve, offering a wide range of affordable housing options, flexible lease terms, and community-focused living spaces. Whether you're a bachelor, job seeker, or newcomer, there are plenty of affordable neighborhoods and rental solutions available to suit your needs in 2025. Quick Tips for Newcomers: Use reliable platforms like Dubizzle, Property Finder, and Bayut to find verified listings. Prioritize living near Metro stations or bus routes for easy commuting. Consider co-living spaces for short-term flexibility. Always verify that shared rooms or units are Ejari-registered and meet safety codes. By being mindful of location, rental terms, and the amenities offered, you can find the right balance between budget and convenience in your new home in the UAE.
