Do This Every Morning Wellnee Undo On Friday, a Supreme Court bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said the filmmakers appeal against the high court order staying the release was infructuous as they accepted the July 21 order of the Centre clearing the release of the film subject to six cuts in its scenes and modifications in the disclaimer. The bench further had said it has not expressed any opinion on merit and the high court can adjudicate the issue of stay of release of film. Live Events It also directed Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind president Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, who is an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, to move the high court against the Centre's decision. The Delhi High Court had stayed the film's release on a Madani's plea on July 10, invoking powers of the Central Government under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, till the representation is decided by the Central Government, for which the high court granted one week time. The filmmakers claimed to have received a Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate with the board suggesting 55 cuts and the film was due to be released on July 11. Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal was murdered in June 2022 allegedly by Mohammad Riyaz and Mohammad Ghous. The assailants later released a video claiming that the murder was in reaction to the tailor allegedly sharing a social media post in support of former BJP member Nupur Sharma following her controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed. The case was probed by the NIA and the accused were booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act , besides provisions under IPC. The trial is pending before the special NIA court in Jaipur. (With agency inputs)

Lieutenant Jules Ngongo, army spokesman in Ituri, did not comment on the toll but confirmed the attack to AFP, stating that "the enemy is believed to have been identified among ADF" rebels. The bloodshed comes after months of calm in the region of Ituri, bordering Uganda. The last major attack by the ADF was in February, leaving 23 dead in Mambasa territory. The town of Komanda in Irumu territory is a commercial hub linking three other provinces -- Tshopo, North Kivu, and Maniema. The ADF, originally Ugandan rebels who are predominantly Muslim, has killed thousands of civilians and ramped up looting and killing in northeastern DRC despite the deployment both of the Ugandan army alongside Congolese armed forces in the area. At the end of 2021, Kampala and Kinshasa launched a joint military operation against the ADF, dubbed "Shujaa", which has so far been unable to dislodge the group.

'Not found suitable' clause weaponised against SCs, STs, OBCs to deny them job opportunities: Congress
New Delhi: The Congress on Sunday slammed the Modi government over vacant reserved posts for SCs , STs and OBCs in central universities and alleged that the "not found suitable" clause was being "weaponized" against these categories to deny them fair employment opportunities. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh cited a written reply in Parliament by Minister of State for Education Sukanta Majumdar last week to attack the government.

For assistant professor, out of 1,370 posts for SCs, 1,180 had been filled; out of 704 posts for STs, 595 had been filled; and out of 2,382 posts for OBCs, 1,838 had been filled, the Union minister had said. Live Events In a post on X, Ramesh said that in its reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, the Modi government has revealed the staggering level of vacancies among SC, ST, and OBC reserved faculty positions in Central universities. "80% positions for OBCs, 83% positions for STs, and 64% positions for SCs at the Professor level are vacant. In the general category, the vacancies are 39%. 69% positions for OBCs, 65% positions for STs, and 51% positions for SCs at the Associate Professor level are vacant. In the general category, the vacancies are 16%. "23% positions for OBCs, 15% positions for STs, and 14% positions for SCs at the Assistant Professor level are vacant. In the general category, the vacancies are only 8%," he said. While the government has claimed that it does not centrally collect data on the prevalence of "not found suitable" (NFS) during the recruitment for faculty positions, the data is unequivocal, Ramesh said. The distinctly higher level of vacancies among reserved positions as compared to general category positions clearly points to a much higher prevalence of NFS for these candidates, he contended. "This is clear evidence of the issue that @Rahul Gandhi has raised -- that NFS is being weaponized against SC, ST, and OBC candidates to deny them fair employment opportunities and to subvert the Constitutional provision for reservations in public employment," Ramesh said. Gandhi on Friday also attacked the Modi government over vacant reserved posts for SCs, STs and OBCs in central universities and said this is not just negligence but a "well-planned conspiracy" to keep "Bahujans" out of education, research and policies. The leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha had demanded that all such vacant posts be filled immediately and 'Bahujans' be given their rights, not "Manuwadi boycott".

Govt works on plan to deregulate licensing requirements to transform Delhi into an 'investment destination'
In a push to enhance ease of doing business in Delhi , the Centre has urged the Lieutenant Governor to implement reforms aimed at easing licensing norms and establishing a single-window clearance system to position the capital as an 'investment destination', reported ToI. A major proposal under consideration is the elimination of mandatory health trade, general trade, and factory licences currently issued by the MCD and NDMC to commercial establishments across the city.

Sources told TOI that the Centre has described these as "low-hanging fruits" that can be quickly "fructified" through executive orders or notifications, without the need to amend existing laws. The push comes days after LG VK Saxena cleared a proposal withdrawing Delhi Police's powers to issue licences to seven categories of businesses — swimming pools, eateries, hotels, guest houses, discotheques, video game parlours, amusement parks and auditoriums. Live Events Officials said a recent presentation was made to the Prime Minister, highlighting reforms already introduced by the Lieutenant Governor to streamline business regulations in Delhi. Impressed by Saxena's efforts, the PM directed officials to ensure that traders are no longer entangled in bureaucratic red tape while setting up operations. According to officials, the deregulation cell conducted an extensive review of existing laws and held multiple rounds of consultations with representatives from the Delhi government, MCD, NDMC, DDA, RERA, and the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. These discussions, along with an analysis of best practices from other states, shaped the final set of recommendations aimed at untangling the regulatory web created by overlapping agency jurisdictions. One of the reforms — exempting GST- or FSSAI-registered businesses from mandatory Shops and Establishment Act registration — can be implemented via a labour department notification, reported TOI. To streamline the process, the cell has suggested designating either MCD or NDMC as the nodal agency for all business-related licences. It has proposed that applicants be required to visit only one office for all approvals. It further recommended transferring powers to issue FSSAI and weights and measures licences to the civic agency and designating the MCD commissioner or NDMC chairperson as commissioner of food safety and controller of legal metrology. "Any other licence for commercial activity currently handled by Delhi govt should also be brought under MCD to ensure a single point of contact," the cell said. The recommendations noted that these reforms would pave the way for a truly effective single-window clearance system. The Lieutenant Governor has been advised to bring all key stakeholders — including MCD, NDMC, FSSAI, GST, ESIC, EPF, fire services, and the DPCC — onto a unified platform to streamline approvals and coordination.

NYC's air turns unhealthy from Canada wildfires; how long will it stay?
Smoke drifting south from wildfires in Central Canada has triggered air quality alerts across the Northeastern United States. On Saturday, July 26, both New Hampshire and New York declared air quality action days, warning that conditions could be unhealthy, especially for sensitive groups. In New Hampshire, the Department of Environmental Services issued the alert after detecting elevated smoke levels. Clockwise wind circulation is pushing smoke from Canada's wildfires into the state. According to David Healy, as quoted by 9 News, chief scientist at the Air Resources Division, this type of action day happens a few times each summer.

Scientists finally explain it's not just age or sun exposure, it's physics 'When that type of thing happens, we need to inform the public that air quality could be unhealthy for certain groups,' Healy said. Live Events State officials use data from monitoring stations to assess air conditions. Once a threshold is reached, they issue forecasts and public advisories. Medical professionals have also been alerted, as hospitals tend to see a spike in respiratory complaints during poor air quality events. Advisory for New York City and beyond In New York, the state Department of Health issued a similar air quality health advisory on Saturday, covering New York City, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and the Adirondacks. As per a CBS report, the Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to range from 100 to 135, a level considered 'unhealthy for sensitive groups.' Officials are advising residents to avoid strenuous outdoor activity and keep windows closed. Air purifiers are also recommended if available. The advisory comes amid a hot weekend and possible Sunday storms, which may affect how long the smoke lingers. The alert is active from noon to midnight, but could be extended if conditions persist. Smoke's reach and health impact Wildfires in Canada, particularly in British Columbia, have already burned over a million acres this season. The resulting smoke contains fine particles that can irritate the lungs and worsen asthma or heart disease. The impact stretches from dense cities like Manhattan to quiet rural trails in the Adirondacks. The National Weather Service suggests seeking medical attention if symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath worsen. This is not the first time Canadian wildfire smoke has affected the region. In June 2023, similar events caused New York's AQI to spike above 200, turning skies orange and prompting school closures. This weekend's situation is less severe but still a concern. Both New York and New Hampshire are drawing on past experiences to respond quickly and protect vulnerable populations.
