App-based carpooling banned in Bengaluru, fine up to ₹10,000 to be imposed

App-based carpooling services have been banned in Bengaluru after taxi unions complained against them to the government.

The Karnataka government has announced a ban on app-based carpooling services in Bengaluru.
A fine ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 will be imposed if anyone is found violating the government order.
Many ride-hailing apps like BlaBla Car, Quickride, Rideshare, Commute Easy and Carpool Adda were running carpool services.
The ban comes after taxi associations complained to the government that the carpooling services are affecting their daily earnings.
The taxi associations and the autorickshaw drivers' unions recently staged a bandh in the city.
The city often witnesses massive traffic jams. Only days ago, Bengaluru residents were left frustrated after getting stuck in a massive traffic jam. The congestion led to a delay of 5 hours for some commuters.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's 'wagh nakh' or the 'tiger claw' is set to return to India in November from a London-based museum.

Shivaji's 'tiger claw' set for return to India from London museum

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's 'wagh nakh' or the 'tiger claw' is set to return to India in November from a London-based museum.

The Victoria and Albert ( V and A) Museum is all set to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Maharashtra government next week, which will see 17th century &lsquo;Tiger Claws&rsquo; weapon believed to have belonged to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj make a journey back to India for an exhibition.
During a protracted military engagement in 1659, the legendary Maratha leader held metal claws, or wagh nakh, concealed in his hand and is said to have disembowelled his opponent Afzal Khan &ndash; the commander of the opposing Bijapur army.
It is believed, though unverified, that the set of claws then came into the possession of James Grant Duff, an officer of the East India Company who was appointed Resident or political agent of the Satara state in 1818 and gifted to the V and A by a descendant.
&ldquo;The V and A looks forward to welcoming senior leadership from the Maharashtra government, to sign a memorandum of understanding,&rdquo; a V and A spokesperson said.
&ldquo;The story of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj&rsquo;s triumph over Afzal Khan is legendary, so we are delighted that the &lsquo;Tiger Claws&rsquo; will return to India as part of the 350th anniversary events where they can be enjoyed as part of the celebrations. We hope that their display might also enable new research into their history and look forward to working in partnership with colleagues in the months ahead as we develop plans for their display,&rdquo; the spokesperson said.
The MoU, expected to be signed on Tuesday, coincides with Maharashtra&rsquo;s 350th anniversary celebrations of the coronation of Chhatrapati Shivaji. It is then expected to be dispatched to India later this year for an agreed period.
According to the V and A, the weapon is accompanied by a fitted case made after Grant Duff returned to Scotland. The inscription on the case reads: &ldquo;The 'Wagnuck' of Sivajee With Which He Killed the Moghul General. This Relic was given to Mr. James Grant-Duff of Eden When he was Resident at Satara By the Prime Minister of the Peshwa of the Marathas".
According to historical accounts, Shivaji and Afzal Khan had arranged a truce after political upheavals in order to meet in a tented enclosure, virtually alone.
The V and A description of the history of the 'Tiger Claws' explains: &ldquo;Both came armed: Shivaji wore mail under his clothes and metal skull protection under his turban. He also held a metal &lsquo;Tiger Claws&rsquo; weapon concealed in his hand. The two men fought, and Shivaji disembowelled his opponent.
&ldquo;The last Peshwa (Prime Minister) of the Marathas, Baji Rao II, surrendered to the British in June 1818 after defeat in the Third Anglo-Maratha War and was banished to Bithoor near Kanpur. It is possible he also surrendered this weapon to Grant Duff. It has not been possible to verify whether these tiger claws are the ones used by Shivaji nearly 160 years earlier.&rdquo;

A Sikh businessman in UK has claimed that his car was shot at and vandalised by Khalistan supporters.

A Sikh restaurant owner, who earlier received threats from Khalistani elements for being vocal against them, has now claimed that his car was shot at and vandalised by the extremists in West London.
A video posted on X by Insightuk2, which describes itself as a social movement of British Hindus and Indians, claimed that some unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire at the car of Harman Singh Kapoor, adding that his family has been subjected to constant threats of violence and rape by alleged Khalistan supporters.
However, there has been no formal statement from the UK police on these claims.
Notably, the claims came to the fore on the very day elements from outside Scotland deliberately disrupted a planned interaction organised for the Indian High Commissioner, Vikram Doraiswami.
&ldquo;They were threatened and abused by these elements. In an effort to prevent any potential altercation, the HC and CG decided to leave the premises shortly upon their arrival,&rdquo; India&rsquo;s High Commission to UK said in a statement.

Abhishek Banerjee dares Centre as TMC gets ready for 2-day Delhi showdown

Abhishek Banerjee who reached Delhi on Sunday said he is putting that challenge right across from the soil of Delhi again.

Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee reached Delhi on Sunday ahead of the party&rsquo;s planned protest against denial of MGNREGA and housing scheme funds to Bengal government in the national capital.
Forty-nine busloads of TMC supporters are slated to reach Delhi on Monday.
The TMC will hold a peaceful sit-in by its MPs and state ministers at Rajghat on October 2, and a peaceful rally of the MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme) job card holders the next day, party officials said. Both the programmes will be live streamed.
The buses were mobilised by the regional party after the Indian Railways refused to rent out special trains to take the workers to Delhi pleading unavailability of rakes.
The TMC claimed the denial of trains as well as cancellations of a flight to Delhi were part of an attempt by the ruling BJP party to scuttle its demonstration.
Speaking to reporters at the NSCBI Airport here before flying to New Delhi, Banerjee said, "The agitation will continue till the rightful dues of the people of Bengal are released by the Centre".

</ul>

Five people, including four children, suffered burn injuries after a &lsquo;helium&rsquo; balloon burst into flames after coming into contact with an electric wire. The incident occurred during a birthday party in Bengaluru on September 30.&nbsp;
The injured have been identified as HAL employee Vijay Aditya Kumar, 44, Dhyan Chandra, 7, Ishan, 2, Sanjay, 8, and Sohila, 3, the Indian Express reported.
Neighbours rushed the victims to a hospital following the incident.&nbsp;
A police officer said that there was a sparkling candle in the room and as the balloon burst, the fire spread.&nbsp;
An official suspected that the balloon may have been filled with hydrogen, instead of helium.
&ldquo;Helium is an inert gas and does not react with any other substance. Even if it comes into contact with a flame or heat source, the balloon will just pop like any other ordinary inflated balloon. Whereas, hydrogen is a flammable gas and it spreads fire,&rdquo; the officer said.
