680 Dolphins Spotted Off Gujarat Coast In Latest Census

National Dolphin Day is celebrated across India on April 14, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the ecological importance of dolphins, their conservation, and the protection of their natural habitats.

This year, the spotlight is on the western coast of the country, where Gujarat - home to India's longest coastline - has emerged as a significant hub for dolphin conservation.

With its 1,600 km-long coastline, Gujarat has a rich marine biodiversity. In the latest Dolphin Census conducted by the Gujarat Forest Department, approximately 680 dolphins were recorded across a 4,087 sq. km marine stretch - a promising outcome of sustained conservation efforts, as per government data shared today.

The coastal expanse from Kutch to Bhavnagar has been identified as a thriving habitat for dolphins.

The Marine National Park and Marine Sanctuary located in the southern part of the Gulf of Kutch, between Okha and Navlakhi, recorded the highest dolphin population: 498 dolphins in 1,384 sq. km.

The northern Gulf of Kutch saw 168 dolphins in 1,821 sq. km, while 10 were spotted in Bhavnagar and 4 in Morbi.

Experts highlight that dolphins are top predators in the marine food chain and play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. Their presence is often an indicator of a healthy ocean ecosystem.

Conservationists also credit coastal fishing communities, particularly from Kutch to Bhavnagar, for their growing awareness and cooperation in dolphin protection.

Among the species sighted along Gujarat's coast, the Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphin is the most prominent.

Recognised by its distinctive hump and elongated dorsal fin, this dolphin species is known for its acrobatic displays and friendly nature.

Found in shallow waters near estuaries, these dolphins feed primarily on fish, crabs, and shrimp.

India officially declared the dolphin as its National Aquatic Animal in October 2009, with the Ganga Dolphin symbolising the purity of the Ganges River.

Known for their intelligence and playfulness, dolphins continue to capture the imagination of tourists and researchers alike.

Several Cops Injured During Anti-Waqf Protest Rally In Tripura

Several policemen sustained injuries during a clash between the security personnel and the agitators who held a protest rally against the recently enacted Waqf (Amendment) Act in northern Tripura's Kailashahar under Unakoti district on Saturday afternoon.

The protest, organized by the Kailashahar Joint Action Committee, began from Tilabazar and proceeded towards Kubjhar area as they did not get police permission and decided to organise it outside the municipal area. 

However, upon reaching Kubjhar, the situation escalated allegedly after a shoe was thrown towards the rally, which then took an ugly turn and a clash with police personnel followed. Bricks, stones, and glass bottles were thrown at cops. 

This left Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Jayanta Karmakar, Police Inspector Jatindra Das, and several other officers injured. 

The situation turned chaotic, forcing the police to resort to a mild lathi charge to disperse the crowd. Protesters then fled the scene.

Police forces, including Tripura State Rifles (TSR) personnel and central paramilitary units, deployed in large numbers at the site included Kailashahar Police Station officer-in-charge Sukanta Sen Chowdhury, Irani Police Station OC Arundaya Das, and DSP Utpalendu Debnath.

Following the violence, the injured security personnel were rushed to a local hospital for treatment.

In the aftermath, Unakoti District Superintendent of Police Sudhambika R and Northern Range DIG Rati Ranjan Debnath visited the area to assess the situation. 

While the DIG later confirmed that the situation was under control, but some argument was seen between SP Sudhambika R and opposition Congress leader Md Badruzzaman who led the protest.

While DIG Rati Ranjan Debnath assured that peace had been restored in the area, protest leader Md Badruzzaman claimed that many protesters were injured due to police action and blamed the authorities for provoking the violence.

The incident has triggered fear and unrest across the Kailashahar subdivision, with police maintaining heightened vigil to prevent further disturbances.

President Droupadi Murmu gave her assent to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, on April 5, as announced by the Law Ministry in a notification on the same day.

The Bill was recently passed by parliament after intense and lengthy debates in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

The law seeks to improve governance by enhancing transparency in property management, streamlining coordination between Waqf boards and local authorities and protecting stakeholders' rights.

Video - "That's Not Breakfast": Delhi Police To Man 'Drinking' Inside Metro

A man was seen on camera chilling with a glass of 'liquor' and a boiled egg inside a moving Delhi Metro train.

The police took note of it after the video went viral and a passenger complained to them.

In the video taken by a passenger, the man was seen taking three swigs of 'liquor', looking from side to side to check if he would be caught. He took a bite of the boiled egg between the swigs.

The Delhi Police posted the video on X and explained what action they have taken for 'drinking' in public, that too inside the metro.

"Eggs and alcohol in the metro? That's not breakfast - that's a breach. Break the rules, face the consequences. Rules aren't suggestions - they are the law," the police said in the post.

The accused is a resident of north Delhi's Burari.

"The accused person admitted his offence and a legal action was initiated against him u/s 59 of DMRC Act," the police said.

However, the man claimed he was drinking the apple juice Appy Fizz, and making a video of it.

"... In the video, I was seen eating an egg and drinking 'alcohol'. It was not daaru (alcohol) but Appy Fizz," the man said.

"I did the wrong thing. I request everyone not to do any such thing. Today I have to face the law because of what I did. I seek forgiveness," he said in the video posted by the police.

While it may have been Appy Fizz and he may have made the video for views on social media, the video made it look like he was drinking in public and encouraging it.

Delhi Metro has seen social media influencers do all sorts of antics for views. Commuters say they are a nuisance during rush hours.

Massive Protests Against Waqf Law In Parts Of Imphal Valley

Protests against the amended Waqf law continues in Manipur and thousands of men women and children participated rallies in Imphal East on Tuesday. 

People from three major Muslim pockets -- Kairang, Khabeisoi and Khurai Khumidok belonging to two assembly constituencies (Khurai and Heingang AC) participated in the protest held at  Khumidok Bazar-Heikrumakhong area.

Protesters formed human chains, shouted slogans against the bill and held a rally. 

Protester Tayebur Rahman said personalised attack against BJP Minority Morcha president Asker Ali is condemnable. 

The community members are angry with the passage of the bill and democratic forms of protests will continue until and unless the bill is repealed, he added.

Other than Imphal East, continuous protests against the bill are being reported from different Muslim pockets including in Thoubal and Bishnupur.

Last week, an angry mob torched the house of BJP Minority cell chief Mohammad Asker Ali at Lilong in Thoubal district.

The authorities had to clamp down on curfew in parts of Lilong. Asker Ali later publicly apologised for hurting the sentiment of the community.

The bill - even before it was passed by parliament - was challenged in the Supreme Court. Around 15 petitions have been filed, which will be heard by the top court next week. 

The Waqf Amendment Bill came into effect on the weekend after it was passed by parliament and was signed off by the President. On Wednesday and Thursday, it was passed by the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha after marathon debates. 

The government has repeatedly underscored that the law is about property and its management, not religion. 

The Waqf bill, the BJP had declared, was developed after consulting a large section of people and it has received the support of non-Muslim minorities.

US Supreme Court Halts Order Reinstating Fired Federal Workers

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked a lower court's order requiring the Trump administration to reinstate thousands of fired federal probationary workers.

The conservative-majority top court said the non-profit organizations that filed the case seeking to halt the mass firings lacked legal standing to bring the lawsuit.

William Alsup, a district judge in California, ordered six federal agencies last month to rehire 16,000 probationary workers who were laid off as part of President Donald Trump's push to slash the size and scope of government.

Alsup said the justification of "poor performance" given for the mass firings was a "sham" and he ordered the departments of the Treasury, Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy and Interior to reinstate fired probationary employees.

The Supreme Court, in a temporary victory for the Trump administration, blocked Alsup's order while litigation in the case continues.

In a 7-2 ruling, the court said the judge's order "was based solely on the allegations of the nine non-profit-organization plaintiffs in this case.

"But under established law, those allegations are presently insufficient to support the organizations' standing," it said.

Since returning to the Oval Office in January, Trump has taken an ax to the US government, cutting spending programs and firing tens of thousands of the more-than two million employees on the federal payroll.

Florida To Execute Killer Of Newspaper Employee By Lethal Injection

A 48-year-old man is to be executed by lethal injection in the southern US state of Florida on Tuesday for the April 2000 murder of a newspaper employee who was abducted while on her lunch break.

Michael Tanzi is scheduled to be put to death at 6:00 pm (2200 GMT) at the Florida State Prison in Raiford for the murder of Janet Acosta, 49.

Tanzi would be the third Death Row inmate to be executed in Florida this year and the 11th in the United States.

Tanzi confessed to the murder of Acosta, an employee of the Miami Herald newspaper, and was sentenced to death in 2003.

He kidnapped Acosta while she was eating lunch in her van, forced her to withdraw money from an ATM Machine and sexually assaulted her before strangling her and dumping her body.

He also confessed -- but was never charged -- with the murder of another woman, and a police detective described Tanzi to the Miami Herald as a "fledgling serial killer."

Tanzi's lawyers have tried to halt his execution arguing that there could be problems with the lethal injection because he is "morbidly obese," but their appeals have been rejected.

His execution is one of two scheduled to be carried out in the United States this week.

Mikal Mahdi, 42, is to be executed by firing squad in South Carolina on Friday for the 2004 murder of an off-duty police officer.

Mahdi would be the second person executed by firing squad in South Carolina this year.

The vast majority of US executions since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976 have been performed using lethal injection.

There were 25 executions in the United States last year.

The death penalty has been abolished in 23 of the 50 US states, while three others -- California, Oregon and Pennsylvania -- have moratoriums in place.

President Donald Trump is a proponent of capital punishment and on his first day in office called for an expansion of its use "for the vilest crimes."

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced last week that federal prosecutors would seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, charged with the December 4 murder in New York of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Video: Hyderabad Man Attacks Pregnant Wife With Brick In Public, Arrested

A pregnant woman was brutally attacked with cement bricks in public, allegedly by her husband, who has since been arrested, police said on Monday.

A video of the incident has gone viral, triggering widespread outrage.

According to police, the accused, Basharath (32), an interior designer, and Shabana (22), a native of Kolkata, met in a shared auto during a visit to Ajmer Dargah in Rajasthan in January 2023.

They fell in love, and Basharath visited her home in Kolkata in May 2024. The couple got married in October 2024 in Kolkata.

Shabana moved to Hyderabad earlier this year, but the couple began facing family issues, a police release said.

On March 29, she was admitted to a private hospital due to weakness and vomiting. She reportedly informed hospital staff that her husband had been abusing her.

At around 10 pm on April 1, the accused arrived at the hospital to take her home, but she refused.

Following an argument-reportedly provoked by certain remarks-Basharath dragged her out and threw her onto the road near the hospital. He then struck her on the chest and head with two cement bricks, hitting her around 12-14 times before fleeing the scene.

Hospital staff who rushed to the spot identified her.

The accused was arrested on the night of April 2 and produced before a local court on April 3, the release added.

The woman, who was found unconscious, is currently undergoing medical treatment.

The police registered a case and began a probe, deploying multiple teams to arrest the accused.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (Taj Security) Syed Areeb Ahmed said, "A case was registered on the complaint of the foreign woman. Several teams were deployed to search for the accused. (Footage from) several CCTV cameras covering the area was scanned. After investigation, the accused Karan Rathore was arrested on Sunday."

The woman has identified Rathore as the accused and he has been taken into custody, the officer said.

Hope For "Zero-Tariff Situation" Between Europe, US In Future: Musk

US tech-billionaire Elon Musk said on Saturday he hoped in future to see complete freedom of trade between the United States and Europe, speaking days after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on trading partners.

Musk, a Trump adviser who has been working to eliminate wasteful US public spending, spoke via video-link at a congress in Florence of Italy's right-wing, co-ruling League Party.

"At the end of the day, I hope it's agreed that both Europe and the United States should move ideally, in my view, to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America," Musk said.

Under Trump's plans announced on Wednesday, Italy, which has a large trade surplus with the United States, will be subject to a general tariff of 20% along with other European Union countries.

Interviewed by League leader Matteo Salvini, Musk, who has repeatedly expressed support for right-wing parties across Europe, said he also hoped to see greater freedom of movement between Europe and the United States.

"If people wish to work in Europe or wish to work in North America, they should be allowed to do so in my view," Musk said, adding that this "has certainly been my advice to the president."

Musk, who has been close in the past to Italy's rightist Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her Brothers of Italy party, has also expressed support for Salvini's League.

Both groups have a hard-right agenda based on law-and-order, tax cuts and cracking down on irregular immigration.

Italy's Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti, who is from the League, said earlier on Saturday the government wanted "de-escalation" with the US following Trump's tariff announcement, and warned against imposing retaliatory tariffs.

Musk last month expressed gratitude to Salvini after the League chief said Italy should pick his Starlink company to obtain a system for satellite communications.

Russian Missile Strike Kills 12 In Ukrainian President Zelensky's Home City

A Russian ballistic missile strike on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's home city of Kryvyi Rig killed 12 people on Friday, including three children, authorities said.

Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of the city's military administration, said more than 50 people were wounded in the evening attack.

"Twelve people were killed in Kryvyi Rig," regional governor Sergiy Lysak said on Telegram.

He added later that this included "three children".

"The number of wounded is constantly increasing. This information will come later. A car and garages are on fire," he said.

Unverified video on social media taken from a distance showed a plume of smoke rising into the evening sky.

Kryvyi Rig, in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region, is about 60 kilometres (37 miles) from the front line but has regularly been targeted by Russian drones and missiles.

A Russian ballistic attack on the city on Wednesday killed at least four people and wounded more than a dozen others.

The strikes come as US President Donald Trump's administration pushes for a speedy end to the more than three-year war, holding talks with both Russia and Ukraine.

Moscow has rejected a joint US-Ukrainian proposal for an unconditional and full ceasefire, while Ukraine has accused Russia of dragging out talks with no intention of halting its offensive.

Lalu Prasad Yadav Admitted To AIIMS-Delhi For Treatment

RJD president and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad was on Wednesday admitted to AIIMS in Delhi for treatment, sources said.

The 76-year-old leader has been admitted to the Cardio Critical Care Unit of the Cardio-Neuro Centre under Dr Rakesh Yadav, Professor of Cardiology at AIIMS, they said.

A team of doctors is monitoring his condition, the sources said.

He was brought to AIIMS for treatment at around 9.35 pm after being admitted to a hospital in Patna for a brief period.

Talking to reporters in Patna, his son and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said Prasad had developed sores on his back and an arm, which he hopes to get operated upon in Delhi.

"Lalu ji had reached the airport in the afternoon to board his flight for Delhi. My mother Rabri Devi is accompanying him. A sudden drop in blood pressure was noted following which we rushed him to the Paras Hospital," the former deputy chief minister said.

According to Prakash Sinha, who led the team of doctors treating Prasad, "He was kept in the emergency ward where his condition improved after intravenous therapy. He wanted to know if he could go to Delhi in an air ambulance. We asked him to go ahead." Yadav, who is the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, said, "My father is a man of courage. He chose to travel by a normal flight".

The young leader, however, admitted that the family was concerned about the ailing septuagenarian, who has been a diabetic for many years and has also undergone heart surgery and a kidney transplant.

Prasad was convicted in fodder scam cases and has been out on bail for several years on health grounds.
