Residence certificate for ‘Dog Babu' in Bihar raises eyebrows amid SIR row
Screenshots of the certificate, carrying the photograph of a golden retriever listed as 'Dog Babu,' have gone viral on the Internet, leaving social media users in splits. The document lists his parents as 'Kutta Babu' and 'Kutiya Devi' and his address as Mohalla Kaulichak, Ward No. 15, in Nagar Parishad Masaurhi, which falls under the Patna district.
The certificate was reportedly issued last week in the Masaurhi circle, falling under the eponymous subdivision, apparently as part of a scramble for such documents during the SIR exercise. The move has prompted a red-faced administration to lodge an FIR against the applicant, the computer operator and the officer who issued the certificate.

Viral video: Smugglers ‘slingshot' opium over Afghanistan-Pakistan border; netizens call it ‘resourceful ingenuity'
A video of a group of men, allegedly smugglers, 'slingshotting' opium over the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, is going viral on the Internet, and the netizens are impressed by the 'ingenuity'. In the viral video, three men can be seen pulling a large slingshot, which has a small packet attached to it, with all their strength. They then let the slingshot go, catapulting the packet to the other side. It reportedly depicts a method of drug smuggling unique to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. This technique has been employed for years due to the border's challenging terrain and security measures, a Vice article noted. Sharing the video on X, the user wrote: 'Opium being smuggled through a slingshot over the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.' Disclaimer: LiveMint could not independently verify the video. According to media reports, Afghanistan has been a major opium producer since the mid-1950s, with production shifting from Pakistan in the 1980s. Despite witnessing a significant drop in cultivation by 2023, smuggling activities persist, as reported by the United Nations and Iranian officials. The use of such innovative smuggling techniques also highlights the ongoing challenge of border security, which has been exemplified by Pakistan's construction of a 1,100 km trench in 2016 to curb unauthorised movements, including narcotics, militants, and refugees, reflecting the complex interplay of geopolitics, economics, and crime in the region. Social media users were thrilled to see the effort the smugglers were putting into delivering a single packet and made several jokes about it. 'Resourceful ingenuity, but risky business,' a user said. A user quipped: 'Simple yet effective!' Another added: 'They're really creative tho' 'That's convenient,' said a user. Another added, 'Very creative solution i must say.' A user said, 'It would be cooler if it were a catapult, to be honest.' 'This is the greatest vid of the day!' exclaimed a user. 'I respect the hustle, but damn... I hope people on the other side wear helmets,' a netizen joked. Another added: 'Imagine you're having a picnic with the family and you get whacked in the side of the head by a bag of heroin going 140 mph. Lol.' 'They should smuggle people to the US this way,' suggested a user.

RS adjourned till Monday amid Opposition protest over Bihar voter list revision
New Delhi, Aug 1 (UNI) Unrelenting protests by the Opposition over Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) forced repeated adjournments in Rajya Sabha today, eventually leading to the suspension of proceedings for the day. The House will reconvene on Monday, August 4. This marks the second consecutive week in the ongoing monsoon session during which zero hour has been disrupted, with no substantial legislative business conducted in the Upper House. As soon as the House convened for the day, Opposition members raised slogans demanding an urgent discussion on the alleged irregularities in the Bihar voter list revision. The uproar led to an early adjournment till 12 noon. When the House reassembled, the protests resumed, prompting Deputy Chairman Harivansh to adjourn proceedings for the day. Harivansh informed the House that he had received 30 notices from members across party lines under Rule 267 seeking suspension of business to allow discussions on a range of issues. Among them were Prof Manoj Jha (RJD), Tiruchi Siva (DMK), Neeraj Dangi, Rajni Patil, and Renuka Chowdhury (Congress), Sagarika Ghosh (Trinamool Congress), and John Brittas (CPI-M), all of whom sought debate on the Bihar SIR. Additional notices were submitted by members on diverse issues: rising violence against women in Odisha (BJD members Niranjan Bishi, Sultadevi, Sasmit Patra), alleged discrimination against Bengali workers in other states (Trinamool MPs Sameerul Islam and Mausam Noor), the arrest of two nuns in Chhattisgarh (AA Rahim, CPI-M), US tariffs on Indian products (Sanjay Singh, AAP and Ramjilal Suman, SP), and layoffs in the IT sector (V. Sivadasan, CPI-M). The Deputy Chairman clarified that none of the notices met the procedural requirements and were therefore disallowed. As Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal (AAP) was called to speak during zero hour, Opposition members stormed the well of the House, raising slogans such as 'Stop Vote Theft' and 'Raise Your Voice on SIR'. Harivansh appealed for order, reiterating that the Election Commission is a constitutional authority and the matter is sub judice before the Supreme Court. 'The conduct of the House is governed by rules, and the nation is watching,' he remarked, before adjourning the session. Earlier in the day, Congress MP Manickam Tagore submitted an adjournment motion describing SIR as a 'mass disenfranchisement of 65 lakh voters in Bihar' and an 'assault on democracy and the Constitution' by the Modi government. Meanwhile, MPs from the Opposition INDIA bloc staged a demonstration near the Makar Dwar in Parliament, demanding a detailed debate on the issue. The protest follows a resolution passed by the bloc on Thursday to escalate its opposition both inside and outside the House, particularly in light of the Election Commission's scheduled release of the draft electoral rolls for Bihar. With the disruption persisting through the day, no legislative business could be taken up, and the Rajya Sabha was adjourned until August 4. UNI AJ PRS
