Educational Institutions In Kashmir Shut For 2nd Day Due To Flood-Like Situation

Srinagar: Educational institutions in Kashmir remained closed for the second consecutive day on Thursday due to the flood-like situation following heavy rainfall in the valley over the past two days.

In a statement, an official spokesperson said, “In view of adverse weather conditions and as a precautionary measure, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Anshul Garg, ordered the closure of all educational institutions, including schools, colleges, universities, and coaching centres across Kashmir on Thursday, 4th of September, 2025.”

The institutions had also remained closed on Wednesday due to incessant rains which posed a significant flood threat in the region.

While the water levels in the Jhelum River and its tributaries started receding since Thursday morning, some areas in Anantnag, Budgam, Kulgam, Pulwama, and Shopian districts were affected due to spillover of water at certain locations.

Palghar News: 1 Devotee Killed, 6 Injured As Car Carrying Pilgrims To Lalbaugcha Raja Crashes Into Truck On Mumbai–Ahmedabad Highway

**Tragic Accident on Mumbai–Ahmedabad Highway Claims One Life, Injures Six**

Palghar: A devastating accident occurred on Wednesday evening when a car carrying pilgrims from Vadodara to Mumbai’s famous Lalbaugcha Raja collided with a stationary truck on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Highway. The mishap resulted in the death of one devotee and left six others injured.

According to police reports, the group of seven devotees from Vaghodia village in Vadodara district was traveling in a car (GJ 06 PR 3019) en route to Mumbai for Ganesh darshan. Around 7:30 p.m., near the Fountain Hotel area under Naigaon jurisdiction, their vehicle crashed into a truck (MH 03 CV 6268) that was parked along the highway.

The deceased has been identified as Ketulbhai Hiteshbhai Patel, aged 32. The injured passengers include Chirag Rajubhai Patel (39), Nirali Narendra Sharma (27), Damini Bharat Prajapati, Jaivini Ashok Rana (25), Megha Mangeshkumar Shalekar (28), and Antima Sharma (24). All six are currently receiving medical treatment at a private hospital in Mira Road.

Police have revealed that the truck driver, Suryabali Tiwari, had parked the vehicle without activating hazard lights, indicators, or reflectors. This negligence made it difficult for the approaching car driver to spot the stationary truck in the dark.

A case of negligence has been registered against the truck driver under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Authorities have urged drivers to exercise caution and ensure proper safety measures to prevent similar tragedies on highways.

Survey Reveals 40% Of Gen Z Women In Mumbai Rely On Social Media For Fertility Advice

**Mumbai: New Survey Reveals Significant Gaps in Fertility Awareness Among Gen Z Women**

A recent reproductive health survey has highlighted notable gaps in fertility awareness and reproductive health management among Gen Z women in Mumbai. The survey, conducted by Motherhood Hospitals and Nova IVF Fertility across metros and tier-1 cities, polled over 200 women aged 23–30.

For context, “Gen Z women” refers to the demographic born roughly between the mid-1990s and early 2010s.

### Key Findings on Hormonal Health

In Mumbai, the survey found that:

– 35% of respondents believed they had no hormonal issues.
– 40% reported having hormonal issues but said they were managing them.
– 25% admitted to being diagnosed with conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or endometriosis but were not managing them effectively.

These findings shed light on how young women perceive fertility timelines, available options, and their sources of reproductive health information.

### Sources of Reproductive Health Information

The survey revealed a strong reliance on informal channels for reproductive health advice among Mumbai’s Gen Z women:

– 40% relied on social media.
– 35% sought advice from friends.
– 15% depended on TV or movies.
– Only 10% turned to family for information.

Experts have raised concerns that this dependence on informal sources, coupled with a lack of proactive health management, can have serious long-term consequences.

### Expert Insights on Awareness and Testing

Dr. Rita Modi, Senior IVF Consultant at Motherhood Fertility and IVF, Kharghar, emphasized the existing knowledge gaps:
“Over 50% of women have heard of the AMH test, yet many don’t understand its significance. This knowledge gap, combined with untreated lifestyle-related issues such as obesity, PCOS, and thyroid disorders, poses serious risks for future parenthood.”

Dr. Sneha Sathe, Fertility Specialist at Nova IVF Fertility, Chembur, added:
“While 55% of women believe fertility declines only after 35, problems can arise much earlier. Tests like AMH, semen analysis, and ultrasounds provide valuable insights. Alarmingly, 40% of respondents didn’t know what AMH was, and only 20% believed fertility tests should be part of routine health check-ups.”

### Changing Attitudes Towards Parenthood

The survey also reflected evolving views on parenthood among Mumbai’s young women:

– 27% planned to delay having children due to career or financial readiness.
– 18% expressed no desire to have children at all, illustrating the growing popularity of the “DINK” (Double Income, No Kids) lifestyle.

### Call for Increased Awareness and Support

With India’s fertility rate steadily declining, experts are calling for:

– Stronger awareness campaigns on reproductive health.
– Workplace fertility benefits, such as egg freezing.
– Proactive reproductive health education to help young adults make informed decisions about their futures.

As reproductive health becomes an increasingly important topic, addressing these gaps and misconceptions is crucial for empowering Gen Z women in Mumbai and beyond.

MAFS UK struck by cyclone chaos as awkward couple stuck in hotel room

**EXCLUSIVE: MAFS UK Struck by Cyclone Chaos as Awkward Couple Stuck in Hotel Room**

Married At First Sight UK newlyweds Bailey and Rebecca were forced to get creative after a Class 3 cyclone hit the area where they were staying for their honeymoon, leaving them stuck in their hotel rooms.

When Rebecca walked down the aisle, she was initially unimpressed with Bailey, revealing that she was looking for an “alpha male.”

“I’m not sure if he’s alpha or not. He’s not my type,” the 32-year-old said in a confessional.

However, Bailey seems to have won her over with his romantic gestures during their honeymoon trip. When the hotel restaurants shut down due to the cyclone, he organised a sweet date for the two of them.

In a first look clip shared with The Mirror, Bailey is seen throwing rose petals onto the bed while Rebecca finished getting ready in the bathroom.

“Because of the cyclone, the restaurants are all closed in the hotel tonight, so Bailey has told me to get dressed up and he’s going to sort it,” Rebecca said in a voiceover.

Bailey placed a plate of food in the middle of the bed, lit a few candles, and poured them two glasses of rosé wine. When Rebecca emerged from the bathroom, she was clearly impressed.

“Wow, this is so nice. It’s so nice to see him being really romantic and gentle and go to loads of effort for the date,” she told the cameras.

“Is this what you do for all your first dates?” she asked her new husband after they took a sip of wine.

He cheekily answered, “No, only for you.”

Before their wedding ceremony, Rebecca had discussed her ideal partner, stating:

“I’m attracted to the alpha male. I’m attracted to the big man that can lead me by the hand.”

She added, “My standards are very high, I like to be in order and I like things to look nice. I won’t settle for anything less than perfection in my life and I feel the same about my relationships.”

Rebecca further described her preference: “I’m attracted to the alpha male. Somebody tall, confident and who’s sure of themselves,” before expressing hope that such a man would be waiting for her at the altar.

“I’m picturing a man who’s got stature about him, I want him to be a dominant figure. I’ve walked away from something before because I didn’t want to settle. If they don’t tick enough boxes for me straight away, I will say how I feel,” she explained.

However, when she finally met her new husband, Rebecca admitted, “Alarm bells are going off in my head. He’s not my type.”

This move provides an opportunity for these stakeholders to divest a portion of their holdings in the company.

RBI should opt for 25bps repo rate cut, says SBI

**RBI Should Opt for 25bps Repo Rate Cut, Says SBI**

*By Dwaipayan Roy | Sep 28, 2025, 04:49 PM*

A recent report by the State Bank of India (SBI) has recommended a 25 basis points (bps) cut in the repo rate ahead of the upcoming Reserve Bank of India (RBI) monetary policy meeting. This suggestion comes amid expectations of benign inflation in the near term.

However, despite SBI’s recommendation, most economists anticipate that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will maintain the status quo when it announces its decision on October 1.

### Rate Reduction: The ‘Best Possible Option’

The SBI report describes a 25bps rate cut as the “best possible option” for the RBI at this stage. Earlier this year, the central bank had already slashed the key short-term lending rate (repo) by 100bps in three installments since February, responding to a decline in consumer price index (CPI)-based inflation.

Nevertheless, some experts believe the MPC may opt to hold the current rates steady during the upcoming policy review, weighing various economic factors.

### Upcoming MPC Meeting

The MPC, headed by RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, will convene from October 1 to 3 to discuss the policy rate. This meeting takes place against a backdrop of ongoing geopolitical tensions and recent US-imposed 50% tariffs on Indian shipments.

In its August bi-monthly monetary policy review, the central bank chose to keep rates unchanged, carefully assessing how these external factors might impact India’s economy.

### Expectations and Economic Outlook

Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist at ICRA, noted that GST rationalization could reduce headline CPI inflation by 25-50 basis points during Q3 FY2026 and Q2 FY2027. She also expects that October-November 2025 could mark a new low for CPI inflation, although an upward trend may resume afterward.

Meanwhile, Dharmakirti Joshi of Crisil Limited expects a repo rate cut as early as October, citing lower-than-expected inflation numbers and sustained strong demand.

As the MPC meeting approaches, all eyes will be on the RBI’s decision and its implications for India’s monetary policy trajectory.

Pune Crime: Techie Beats Father-In-Law In Hinjawadi After He Refuses To Withdraw Domestic Violence Case

**Man Assaults Retired Father-in-Law Over Domestic Violence Case in Pune’s Hinjawadi**

Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad: On Friday night, a man allegedly assaulted his retired 62-year-old father-in-law in the Hinjawadi area of Pune. The motive behind the attack was the accused’s demand that the senior citizen pressure his daughter—who is also the accused’s wife—to withdraw a domestic violence case she had filed a few months ago.

Swamirao Bappaji Jagtap (62) of Wakad lodged a complaint with the Hinjawadi Police Station. Following the complaint, a case has been registered against Sandesh Pundalik Jadhav (40) of Tathawade. The accused has been booked under relevant sections of the BNS for physical assault.

According to police reports, Jadhav married Jagtap’s daughter several years ago. After the marriage, he reportedly subjected her to constant physical abuse and suspected her character. Following years of suffering, the woman confided in her father about the domestic violence. In response, Jagtap took his daughter with him and encouraged her to file a legal complaint against her husband.

A police official detailed, “The accused works in the IT sector in Hinjawadi and has previously displayed aggressive behavior in public. His wife had earlier alleged domestic violence not only by him but also by his family. Recently, he visited his father-in-law’s home demanding that his daughter be sent back to him or that a divorce be granted. When the father refused and stood up for his daughter, the accused physically assaulted and verbally abused him. The senior citizen sustained minor injuries.”

Senior Police Inspector Balaji Pandhare, in charge of Hinjawadi Police Station, informed The Free Press Journal, “A case has been registered based on the complaint. The complainant has alleged domestic abuse of his daughter. We have initiated an investigation and are looking into the matter further.”

The police have assured strict action will be taken as the case progresses.
