Vaishno Devi Yatra Suspended Due To Weather Warning; Pilgrimage To Resume On Oct 8

Jammu, Oct 3 (PTI) The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board on Friday night announced the suspension of pilgrimage to the cave shrine atop Trikuta hills in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district from October 5-7 due to an inclement weather advisory issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). More than 1.70 lakh pilgrims paid obeisance at the Vaishno Devi temple during Navratri, with the Yatra going on smoothly, officials said. “In view of an inclement weather advisory issued by the India Meteorological Department, the Vaishno Devi Yatra shall remain suspended from October 5 to 7,” the Shrine Board said in a post on X. The Yatra will resume on October 8, it said, adding that devotees may stay updated through official channels. The Shrine Board has taken the step as a precautionary measure in view of the threat perception of landslides, flooding, and cloudbursts due to heavy rain. The pilgrimage to the shrine resumed on September 17 after remaining suspended for 22 days due to a devastating landslide along the track caused by torrential rain on August 26, which killed 34 people and injured 20 others.  (Disclaimer: This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

British Traveller Calls Delhi Metro Cleaner And Easier Than London Underground, Watch

The Delhi Metro, often regarded as the lifeline of India’s capital, has caught the attention of international travellers. In a viral video titled “Arriving in India was not what I expected”, British vlogger Islam Lewis documented his journey on the Airport Express Line from Indira Gandhi International Airport to New Delhi Railway Station. British Traveller Amazed by Delhi Metro Lewis was impressed by the system’s simplicity and cleanliness, describing it as “easier, cleaner and more user-friendly than London’s Underground,” which he personally found “confusing.” The video has already racked up thousands of views and sparked online discussion. Comparing Delhi Metro with London’s famed Underground, Lewis said: “Wow, this is so easy to understand. The London Underground, I find very confusing. Even though it’s all in English, I find it so confusing. And it’s mad to think that this system is way better. At least I actually know where I’m going just from looking at the signs.”           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Islam Lewis (@islamlewis) ALSO READ: WATCH: Australian Vlogger Sparks Backlash After Calling Dharavi 'India's Deadliest Slum' Describing his first steps onto the metro from the airport, he added, “It’s time to leave the airport. Where’s the metro? Metro, this way. Oh, I want to take the metro for the experience. I want to feel and see what the Indian metro looks like. Apparently Delhi has one of the best metros.” Cleanliness and Rules Impress Inside the train, Lewis further praised the metro’s upkeep: “Okay, let’s see what the Metro is like. Oh, it’s super clean and nice in here. Wow, this Metro is nice to be honest. It’s very clean in here. I saw on the board that if you spit in here, or if you get on without a ticket, then there are quite big fines as well. So, maybe that’s the reason why it’s so clean.” Social Media Reacts The clip, which has garnered over four lakh views, generated lively online reactions. Fans praised Delhi Metro’s efficiency and cleanliness, with one remarking, “Delhi Metro has set global standards in cleanliness.”

Solana Price Prediction — Best Altcoin to Buy as Momentum Builds Into 2025 ETF Rally Setup

Crypto investors are closely tracking Solana (SOL) as it experiences one of the most important moments in the market. With several spot ETF decisions expected in October 2025, institutional demand could arise, and the price outlook for SOL may change next year. As the crypto world has become excited about the upcoming bull cycle, which altcoins will perform best in the next? Some of the most-mentioned projects include Solana, a top-layer 1 network with solid fundamentals, and MAGACOIN FINANCE, a project that many analysts are now calling one of the best altcoins to buy during this accumulation phase. The two represent two sides of the same coin, with one already established and gearing up for a fresh wave of institutional flooding and the other poised to emerge early with a strong initial investor momentum. Solana Price Momentum and the Upcoming ETF Catalyst Solana has been one of the strongest-performing altcoins of the past two years, but its price recently took a pause. SOL price fell to $192 on Thursday, but an upcoming ETF decision may kickstart institutional investor demand and reset Solana’s price momentum. Solana slipped below the $200 mark on Thursday, erasing its recent rally to an eight-month high of $253. The 19% dip that unfolded in a week has rattled market momentum and raised questions about near-term strength. Yet, a looming catalyst may change the narrative. Grayscale’s spot SOL exchange-traded fund (ETF) faces its first approval deadline on Oct. 10. This decision could determine whether institutional capital flows begin to support SOL in a way similar to Bitcoin. While the REX Osprey Staking SOL ETF, launched in July, offers spot exposure, its structure is less significant than a pure spot product. A Grayscale spot ETF would allow for more direct institutional participation, potentially unlocking deeper liquidity and broader adoption. That decision is only the first in a series of rulings. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to review five additional applications, with a final deadline of October 16, 2025, including proposals from Bitwise, 21Shares, VanEck, Grayscale, and Canary. Collectively, the lineup underscored the growing institutional interest in bringing SOL into mainstream investment vehicles. Analyst Mentions: MAGACOIN FINANCE Enters the Conversation As Solana is the more mature side of the market, several analysts are also spotlighting new projects like MAGACOIN FINANCE as part of the best altcoins to buy as the bullish season gets heated in 2025. The project has been garnering attention for early-phase altcoin action and has shown solid community growth. It has an audited smart contract too, making it stronger than many early-stage tokens. MAGACOIN FINANCE has successfully raised millions of dollars in its ongoing sale process, while rapidly building a solid global investor base. Analysts say that such projects can serve as a supplement to larger stakeholdings, like Solana, by providing them the opportunity to grow faster. Though more volatile, they can deliver outsized returns if anticipation for launch becomes mainstream. Conclusion The price drop of Solana could be interpreted as the next set of price actions. Due to the several different ETF decisions expected in October, demand from institutions is likely to skyrocket, setting the stage for a possible rally into 2025. One of the most likely altcoins to rally due to its speed, adoption and market relevance, this is a strong contender for the next market cycle. Investor interest is shifting towards new projects, such as MAGACOIN FINANCE, while existing projects are also growing.  The market is now entering a new phase with large-scale adoption and early-stage opportunities helping shape the future of crypto investing.

'Not ours': Pakistan FM Ishaq Dar distances from Donald Trump’s Gaza plan; claims ‘changes made to our draft’

Pakistan has formally distanced itself from US President Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan, with foreign minister Ishaq Dar stating the final proposal was not endorsed by Islamabad. Dar clarified that Pakistan, along with other Muslim and Arab nations, had submitted a counter-draft emphasizing an immediate ceasefire and complete Israeli withdrawal.

HDFC Pension, Zomato Empower Gig Workers With Long-Term Financial Security

Zomato and HDFC Pension have collaborated to introduce 'NPS Platform Workers Model' for delivery partners of the food delivery platform, in a bid to provide them access to formal retirement benefits. The model was formally launched by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at an event organised by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) on October 1. "More than 30,000 delivery partners onboarded on Zomato have already generated their PRANs (Permanent Retirement Account Numbers) within 72 hours of this integration and the platform is committed to enable over 1 lakh delivery partners with their NPS retirement accounts within 2025," Zomato said in a statement. Zomato operates on a gig-first model, supporting an average of 5,09,000 independent monthly active delivery partners as of Q1 FY26. According to a NITI Aayog report, the number of platform workers in India is estimated to grow to 23.5 million by FY 2029-30. Currently, there exists a gap in terms of awareness as well as access to formal retirement benefits for these workers. Due to this reason, the retirement savings rate among this specific section of the workforce is negligible. The collaboration will enable independent gig workers onboarded on Zomato as delivery partners, to enjoy benefits such as long-term financial security in the form of a lump sum and a monthly pension at retirement, along with flexibilities such as making small, regular contributions. In addition, with a long-term view, the model also provides delivery partners the option of portability, allowing them to carry their benefits forward as they progress in their careers. Digital integration has been done to make the onboarding process smooth and hassle-free by using the existing KYC or eKYC of the gig workers, with their consent, at the PRAN (Permanent Retirement Account Numbers) generation level, Zomato stated. Additional details can be submitted by the gig workers subsequently. Sriram Iyer – Managing Director & CEO, HDFC Pension, commented,"Not all individuals have access to formal retirement planning instruments. Through the 'NPS Platform Workers Model', such individuals can now start planning for their retirement. This model not only enables them to plan for their retirement but also contributes towards bringing a larger section of our population under the umbrella of long-term financial security".  (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

No Galaxy S26 In 2026: Leak Suggests Samsung Could Drop Base Model Next Year

Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: The air is buzzing with leaks and rumours about Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, and the latest one is quite surprising. According to SamMobile, Samsung might skip the standard Galaxy S26 altogether. Instead, the lineup could start with the Galaxy S26 Pro as the base, followed by the Galaxy S26 Edge in the middle, and the S26 Ultra at the top. So, no standard S26, just Pro, Edge, and Ultra. What The Leak Says According to Android Authority's July report, the standard S25 model could be removed, and the S25 Plus might be replaced by the Edge variant. As a result, the S26 Pro will serve as the base model, likely placing it at a higher starting price than previous “standard” models. This big shift is pointing to Samsung's broader strategy to make every phone in the flagship feel premium, as reported b GizBot. Samsung Galaxy S26 Camera Rumours Camera leaks are already making waves. An X user named Out of Galaxy jokes that the S26 Pro will use the same camera as the S25, adding that Samsung has been doing this since the S22. CONFIRMED‼️‼️‼️Dear Samsung users, GREAT NEWS Galaxy S26 Pro is going to feature the EXACT same cameras as the S25 😍that got its cameras from the S24, that got its cameras from the S23, that got its cameras from the S22 Consistency is key!!!!!!!! 😍😍 pic.twitter.com/fqydNIZGXP — Out of Galaxy (@OutofGalaxyy) September 30, 2025 Another X user, Jukan, disagrees, saying the S26 Pro will actually have a new main sensor, a combination of Sony’s 50MP 1.0µm sensor and Samsung’s fresh 50MP sensor. Not true.The main sensor of the S26 Pro uses a new sensor compared to the S25 vanilla.The main sensor used in the S26 Pro will be a combination of Sony’s new 50MP 1.0µm sensor and Samsung’s new 50MP sensor, applied differently depending on the region. https://t.co/EzaOXDMjiW — Jukan (@Jukanlosreve) October 1, 2025 As always with leaks, take everything with a pinch of salt. Samsung hasn’t confirmed any of these details, and we’ll have to wait for the official launch to know what’s real and what’s just fan speculation.

Indian IT Sector Eyes FY27 Comeback, Long-Term Growth Pegged At 4–5%

The sustainable growth of India’s IT services sector is likely to be within 4 to 5 per cent, above the trendline of the past three years, a report said on Friday. Analysts assumed less macro volatility in the coming quarters and expected some recovery in growth in FY27, the report from HSBC Global Investment Research said. The IT services sector is unlikely to see a turnaround in Q2 FY26, with demand remaining soft amid macroeconomic uncertainty and the deflationary impact of artificial intelligence, it said. These factors may not "improve until FY27, in our view, as global headwinds provide a cushion to pricing pressure," the report added, providing a 'buy' rating on many IT stocks. Growth in the second quarter is expected to stay in line with the first quarter, driven largely by vendor consolidation and cost-rationalisation deals, which HSBC called a “zero-sum game.” "Sustainable growth rate for the sector is unlikely to be more than 4-5 per cent, though over the past three years growth has been below even this trend rate. While FY24 and FY25 were impacted by loss of share to GCCs, FY26 has been impacted by both AI deflation and an uncertain macro environment," the research firm said. Even though recent US corporate results are quite solid corporates are still holding back discretionary new initiatives, the report noted. Quarterly expectations indicate that large-cap IT firms are expected to achieve 0–2 per cent sequential growth in dollar terms. Mid-tier companies may experience a decline of 1 per cent to growth of 5.5 per cent, the firm forecasted. The firm, however, maintained that large-cap IT stocks are no longer five-year buy-and-hold compounding stocks and instead require active management around their cycles/volatility.

2025 Mahindra Thar Facelift 3-Door India Review: More Practical Now?

The Thar 3-door remains one of the most talked about cars and also one that divides opinion. However, the current gen Thar was a massive change for the brand name since it brought in a completely different meaning with being a lifestyle offering. Now, after the Thar Roxx, the Thar 3-door has again gotten an update which was needed. The earlier 3-door did have some impractical elements which affected its everyday useability and that has now been added. Does it look different? The new Thar 3-door does get a mildly tweaked grille with body coloured detailing plus the lovely new grey shade from the Roxx. Else, it remains practically the same and that's probably how its owners or potential owners will like it. The styling is butch, aggressive and maintains its classic design which in 3-door looks terrific. It's even better looking than the Roxx. What about the interior? That's where the changes lie. Getting in is easier thanks to a grab handle while on the inside, it is much better now thanks to several updates. The power window switches are now placed where they should have been in the first place- on the side door pad and there is a remote fuel lid opener. There is a rear wash/wiper, a dead pedal for the automatic and a new movable armrest which makes it much easier for long drives. The other big change is the new 10.25-inch touchscreen which is all new and gets a slick display along with a large rear camera display too. The display isn't as nice as on the Roxx but it is a welcome feature and is pretty clear. Other than that, the new look steering wheel is taken from the Roxx as well. Space is pretty much the same and the rear seat is better than what it looks like. Storage is pretty good too. How is it to drive? The engines continue and again nothing needed to be changed anyways. The diesel is the pick with its torque and the decent efficiency while it remains a powerful, fun car to drive. There is also a punchy turbo petrol which offers huge performance for the money. The 3-door Thar remains fun to drive and off-road it is incredible. That said, on-road it remains bouncy and the steering is a bit on the heavy side- we expected the electric steering from the Roxx to be offered here but the earlier steering remains while arguably this is better for off-road. Off-road it continues to be fun and is very capable as we tried it over an off-road track. Is it worth a buy? The Thar 3-door remains a desirable car and much more usable now thanks to the new updates including the bigger screen. It looks superb, goes fast and is hugely fun while off-road it remains a very good option. You can now drive it everyday without any issue save for the bumpy ride while it continues to offer a blend of looks/off-road/performance which no other car can give at this price which incidentally has been kept competitive since it starts under Rs 10 lakh. What we like- looks, new updates, more practical, better quality and off-road performance What we do not like- bumpy ride quality and heavy steering remains.

Watch: 'I Love Muhammad' Sticker Being Slapped On Vehicles In Mumbai

A controversy has started in Mumbai’s Kurla after videos showed people sticking “I Love Muhammad” stickers on bikes, rickshaws, and other vehicles without permission. The video was shared on Instagram by The Bharat Post on October 3. So far, there are no reports of police taking action against those involved. The incident has caught public attention and sparked debate over religious expression in public spaces. Counter Campaigns & Tensions The sticker campaign has caused tension between communities. In response, some Hindu groups are planning gatherings called “I Love Mahadev.”  They said it is to balance what they see as a provocative campaign by Muslim groups. A meeting was held at Aarey Milk Colony on September 24 to plan the next steps.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by The Bharat Post (@thebharatpost_) The Mumbai campaign is linked to an earlier issue in Kanpur. There, police registered cases against people for putting up “I Love Muhammad” banners on public roads, saying it hurt other communities’ feelings.  After that, Muslim groups in Mumbai put up banners outside mosques and on the streets to show their religious expression. Some right-wing groups, like Bajrang Dal, have said the banners could cause trouble.  Gautam Ravaria from Bajrang Dal said the banners may seem harmless, but they could have hidden motives and create unrest. Legal Concerns Muslim groups have said police action against banners is unfair. Raza Academy, a Mumbai-based group, wrote to President Droupadi Murmu on September 24.  They said police were acting for political reasons and violating people’s rights under the Constitution. They asked for a fair investigation and that officers who went beyond their powers be held responsible. The situation highlights how public displays of religious messages can quickly spark tensions.  Communities and authorities face challenges in balancing freedom of expression with public order, while keeping dialogue peaceful and respectful.

NextBigWhat’s Ashish Sinha Warns Sridhar Vembu For Arattai, Here's What He Said!

In a candid exchange on X, Ashish Sinha, the founder of NextBigWhat, offered significant advice to Zoho’s former CEO Sridhar Vembu on the future of Arattai, the company’s India-first instant messaging app. Sinha cautioned against building the platform on a nationalism-driven growth strategy, warning that such an approach risks short-term hype but rarely delivers long-term user loyalty. Sinha's Warning To Vembu Sinha began his message with praise, acknowledging Vembu’s influence on the Indian startup ecosystem. “I have a lot of respect for you – you inspire a whole lot of bootstrappers like me. Your recent hustle has been all the more inspiring!” he wrote. But the appreciation soon gave way to concern. He pointed out that several India-focused consumer apps in the past, including Koo, regional map platforms, and TikTok alternatives like Josh and Chingari, leaned heavily on nationalism as a go-to-market (GTM) strategy.  According to Sinha, while this tactic helps boost downloads, it does little to create a sticky user base. “These users rarely convert into long-term loyalists,” he warned. Product Excellence Should Be The Focus Sinha stressed that an over-reliance on patriotic sentiment pulls attention away from what really matters - delivering product excellence for mass-market users. “They push the narrative towards ideology, not product excellence,” he wrote, adding that eventually such strategies “drain focus away from solving for the actual mass-market user.” His advice to Vembu was direct. Acording to Sinha, Arattai had the potential to be an “India-first product in infrastructure, scale, and philosophy,” but the team should resist applause-driven validation and instead focus on building for the “silent majority who will stick around.” What Was Sridhar Vembu's Response? Vembu responded saying, “Thank you! Yes, we want Arattai to offer the best experience in the world, and be the most trusted,” he said. Arattai, which means “casual chat” in Tamil, was launched around 2021 and saw a sudden surge in September 2025, with traffic reportedly spiking 100× in just three days. Endorsements from government officials played a part in the growth, prompting Zoho to scale its infrastructure rapidly. Language And Identity Debates Alongside the debate over growth strategy, Arattai’s name itself has stirred conversation. While the Tamil word reflects Zoho’s cultural roots, some Hindi-speaking users have argued it is hard to pronounce, calling for a more generic identity to aid pan-India adoption. This, in turn, has reignited broader debates around language, identity, and digital adoption in India.

Konkan In Focus: Anand Mahindra’s Call To Discover Maharashtra’s Hidden Gem

Industrialist Anand Mahindra has sparked fresh interest in one of Maharashtra’s most underrated travel destinations - the Konkan coast.  Sharing his admiration on X, Mahindra posted captivating photographs of the lush monsoon landscape, urging travellers to look beyond India’s heavily touristed hubs and instead explore regions that remain relatively untouched. “These photos of the Konkan region in the monsoon were shared by @sandesh_samant along with the comment: ‘Maharashtra is so underrated and we have created no infrastructure for tourism.’ I wouldn’t agree that we created NO infrastructure. But his intentions are good, and his statement applies to our entire country. Breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. All underrated and all waiting for our appreciation,” Mahindra wrote.  These photos of the Konkan region in the monsoon were shared by @sandesh_samant along with the comment: “Maharashtra is so underrated and we have created no infrastructure for tourism.”I wouldn’t agree that we created NO infrastructure.

Netizens appreciated the raw beauty of nature, with one user saying, "Maharashtra is underrated indeed. I was at Satara last couple days, so scenic, wonderful chilly weather and landscapes of the seven hills that surround the city which is why it’s named ‘Satara’." Konkan’s Monsoon Magic Tucked between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats, the Konkan coast is a visual delight. Known for its endless stretch of coconut palms, cascading waterfalls, and emerald rice fields, the region offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural splendour. The districts of Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg, in particular, showcase the region’s raw charm, far removed from the bustle of Mumbai and Pune. During the rains, Konkan transforms into a living postcard. Mist-shrouded ghats, roaring rivers, and vibrant greenery create an irresistible setting for travellers seeking solace in nature. Local traditions add to the allure, whether it’s enjoying piping hot modaks, exploring centuries-old temples, or sailing across monsoon-swollen backwaters. Getting There The Konkan region is well connected by air, road, and rail. Mumbai and Goa serve as the nearest air gateways, while the Konkan Railway stretches across the coastal belt. Road trips along NH 66 promise breathtaking sea views and winding ghats, making the journey as memorable as the destination.
