Assam govt demolishes IHM campus to clear waterbody in Guwahati
Guwahati, Jul 21 (PTI) The Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) was demolished on Monday to free Silsako Beel (lake) in Guwahati city, officials said. The administration is eyeing to clear the natural waterbody from various structures, both private and government, to mitigate flood problems in the state capital, said Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah. 'This is a difficult yet necessary decision. While IHM has served the city in the education sector, the pressing need to safeguard Guwahati from devastating floods demands urgent action. We are acting for the greater good of the city's future," he told reporters here. The IHM, a central government institute and spread over 15 bighas (almost five acres), is being relocated to a temporary building on GS Road, Baruah said. 'We have allotted 30 bighas (almost 10 acres) to IHM in Sonapur area. We will construct their infrastructure and hand it over to the institute," he added. Baruah said that eviction and clearance work at IHM marks an important development in making the 800-bigha reservoir project at Silsakoo, envisioned to address the city's chronic urban flooding. Demolition of the IHM campus started with classroom blocks. Hostel structures and other ancillary facilities will be dismantled in the coming days, he added. 'This is the largest single institutional demolition within the reservoir zone. We aim to complete the process within 15 days, carrying out shifting and demolition simultaneously," he said. Earlier, the government had evicted the Omeo Kumar Das Institute of Social Change and Development (OKDISCD) and Institute of Cooperative Management (ICM) from Silsako Beel. 'The remaining two facilities — one tennis court and Ginger hotel — will also be evicted from the location. We are in discussion with them right now," the minister said. He said the reservoir site, spread across approximately 800 bighas (over 264 acres), is expected to be excavated during the upcoming dry season. The government in 2008 had declared Silsako Beel, surrounded by Chachal, Hengerabari, Pathar Quarry and Satgaon areas, a protected waterbody in Guwahati through an Act and prohibited any construction or settlement in around 1,800 bighas (over 595 acres) of lake area.

Meet actor who has married three times, 10 months with first wife, 2 years with second, considers this heroine lucky for him, he is...
The television industry often serves as a stepping stone for actors to transition to film. Many popular actors, including Late Sushant Singh Rajput, Ankita Lokhande, Vidya Balan and Mrunal Thakur, began their careers in television. Today, we will focus on one particular actor who also commenced his journey in TV and later moved to the film industry. Bollywood Actor Karan Singh Grover Here we are talking about actor Karan Singh Grover, who was born on February 23, 1982, in New Delhi, into Sikh Punjabi family. In his early years, he relocated to Saudi Arabia, where he completed his education. Later, Grover pursued a degree in hotel management at the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) in Mumbai. Upon graduating, Karan worked as a marketing executive at the Sheraton Hotel in Oman. After returning to India, Karan sought to explore modeling and began his career in that field. This led to his first significant role, which was also his debut in the MTV India show Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi in 2004. Following his debut, Karan experienced success and starred in several hit TV serials as the main actor, including Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, Dill Mill Gayye, and Qubool Hai over the past two decades. Karan Singh Grover's Failed Marriages With… His first marriage was to actress Shraddha Nigam. The two met through a common friend and got married in December 2008. But the relationship didn't last long. It ended after just 10 months. They officially got divorced in 2009. According to rumours circulating in the industry at that time, Karan's affair with his Dil Mil Gaye co-star Jennifer Winget was the reason for the divorce. Second marriage with Jennifer: In 2012, Karan married his co-star Jennifer Winget, who was said to be the reason for his divorce from his first marriage. Fans were happy to see their on-screen chemistry in real life as well. However, this marriage did not last long either. After two years, the two separated in 2014. Although the real reason for the breakup was not officially revealed, their silence spoke volumes. Bollywood beauty Bipasha Basu came into Karan's life in 2016. The two met on the sets of the horror film Alone (2015) and started dating immediately. Eventually, Bipasha's family gave the green signal and the celebrity couple got married in a grand manner in April 2016. Their family was even happier with the birth of their daughter Devi Basu Singh Grover in November 2022. Karan openly says that Bipasha Basu has changed his life. He believes that her positivity and courage have helped him grow mentally and spiritually. With the support of his wife, he has also taken up painting as a new hobby. Karan says that Bipasha has brought balance to his life; now he wakes up early, enjoys nature and feels more connected to himself than ever before. After a hiatus of nine years, Karan returned to Bollywood with the film Fighter, which featured Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. The film was a moderate success, earning Rs 358 crore at the box office.

Artichokes, a beloved Mediterranean vegetable, are a true culinary gem
Artichokes, a beloved Mediterranean vegetable, are a true culinary gem. With tender hearts and meaty leaves, they offer a subtle, nutty flavour perfect for antipasti, dips, pasta, and gourmet salads. A staple in Italian, French, and Spanish cuisine, artichokes can be grilled, stuffed, steamed, or marinated — adding elegance and depth to even Indian dishes. Preparing and eating them may take effort, but it's a labour of love your taste buds will thank you for. Once you remove the leaves and the choke, you'll reach the prized heart — a delicious reward for your patience. Cutting artichokes can seem tricky at first, but with a little practice, it becomes much easier. Medicos and dieticians alike praise artichokes for their abundance of antioxidants, fiber, and essential nutrients. They are known to support digestive health, liver function, and heart wellness. Dr Poonam Tiwari, Head of the Department of Dietetics at RMLIMS, highlights, 'Artichoke helps to regulate cholesterol levels and, as it contains cynarine, it supports bile production. It's low in calories and high in vitamins. Artichokes are both a nutritious and delicious addition to a healthy diet. Don't overcook or fry it to retain its authentic flavours.' Due to their preference for a Mediterranean climate, artichokes aren't widely cultivated in India. However, they are occasionally grown on a small scale in cooler regions like parts of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. They can be spotted in gourmet stores, with prices reaching up to ₹4,000 per piece. Despite their limited availability, the increasing interest in global cuisines is paving the way for artichokes to become a more common sight on Indian tables. Mediterranean Artichoke & Quinoa Salad Chef Mohd Shavez Ahmad, faculty at IHM, shares his recipe for a popular salad: 'Combine cooked quinoa with chopped canned artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley. Toss with a light dressing made of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This salad is packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants, making it perfect for a nourishing, cool meal during hot days. It's easy to prepare and offers a delightful balance of flavours and textures.' For a refreshing summer option, Chef Shavez offers an easy raita recipe: 'Try a Chilled Artichoke & Cucumber Raita — a refreshing twist on a classic Indian side. Made using readily available canned or marinated artichoke hearts (found in gourmet stores or online), chopped cucumber, hung curd, mint, and a dash of roasted cumin powder, it's light, cooling, and perfect for hot summers. This fusion raita pairs beautifully with grilled dishes or can be enjoyed on its own as a healthy snack, blending global taste with local ease.' Artichoke & Watermelon Chaat Ranjan Thakur, Executive Chef at Fairfield Marriott, suggests a gourmet twist for summer snacking with Artichoke and Watermelon Chaat: 'Combine juicy watermelon cubes with chopped canned artichoke hearts, a sprinkle of chaat masala, lemon juice, black salt, and fresh mint. This fusion salad offers the familiar tang of Indian street-style chaat with the delicate, nutty flavour of artichokes — perfect for warm climate. It's quick to prepare, hydrating, and ideal for those looking for something tasty yet healthy and unique.'
