Javagal Srinath’s Namma Metro photograph goes viral

A photograph of former India fast bowler Javagal Srinath travelling on Bengaluru’s Namma Metro has been widely shared, with fans praising the 56-year-old’s low-key routine.

The picture shows Srinath standing in a coach with a trolley bag, in jeans and a light-blue shirt. India Today, The Economic Times and AajTak reported the image’s spread. Some outlets noted that the exact date the photograph was taken could not be independently confirmed.

Srinath, now an ICC match referee, took 236 Test and 315 ODI wickets for India. The viral post has been compared with other Karnataka cricketers known for an unshowy public life.

India and Uzbekistan elevate ties, work on long-term uranium supply

India and Uzbekistan have agreed to elevate their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, with a long-term uranium supply arrangement on the agenda.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on a two-day visit to Tashkent, told President Shavkat Mirziyoyev that the two countries would deepen energy cooperation. “We will also establish a long-term arrangement for the supply of uranium,” India Today reported him as saying, as New Delhi looks to source uranium for civilian nuclear power.

Talks also covered trade, investment, digital connectivity and defence. Bilateral trade is about $1.3 billion, with Indian companies running a project portfolio of more than $5 billion in Uzbekistan, as reported by Mint and India Today. From Tashkent, Modi travels to Bishkek for the SCO summit.

A Hindu who wants no Muslims in India ‘will not remain Hindu’, Bhagwat says in New York

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat told an audience in New York that a Hindu who believes Muslims should have no place in India would cease to be a Hindu.

Addressing the ‘One World, One Humanity’ gathering, Bhagwat recalled being asked in 2018 whether the RSS idea of a Hindu Rashtra meant Muslims would be driven out. “I said, no, that is not Hindutva. If any Hindu thinks that there should be no Muslims in Bharat, he will not remain Hindu,” The Hindu and Indian Express reported him as saying.

He said religions may differ but humanity is one, and that India’s tradition had been to give shelter irrespective of religious identity. The remarks came during the RSS centenary-year outreach in the United States, as reported by PTI, The Hindu and Indian Express.

FSSAI prohibits Everest and LG hing after samples fail quality tests

India’s food regulator has stopped the sale of compounded hing from two widely used kitchen brands after laboratory tests found the products did not meet prescribed standards.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India prohibited Everest Food Products and Laljee Godhoo and Company, which sells under the LG brand, from selling compounded asafoetida with immediate effect. Everest samples recorded an alcohol-soluble extract as low as 0 per cent, against a required minimum of 5 per cent. Yellow and black hing powder samples were also found sub-standard.

In LG’s case, FSSAI said compounded hing samples were sub-standard and misbranded, and that six varieties of raw hing contained starch of 15 to 32 per cent against a permitted maximum of 1 per cent. Both companies have been asked to submit action plans. The facts are as reported by the Times of India, CNBC-TV18 and India Today.
