18 Dead in Illegal Rat-Hole Coal Mine Blast in Meghalaya

At least 18 people were killed after a powerful blast ripped through an illegal rat-hole coal mine in Meghalaya’s East Jaintia Hills district on Thursday. The explosion occurred during mining operations, triggering a major rescue effort as authorities fear more workers could still be trapped underground.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, assuring full central assistance for rescue and relief operations. The state government has ordered a probe into the incident, while rescue teams continue search operations at the site.

Rat-hole mining, banned by the National Green Tribunal, remains a serious safety concern in Meghalaya, with repeated incidents highlighting gaps in enforcement and worker protection.

Waratahs’ Pre-Season Form Sparks Optimism After Beating Brumbies and Reds

The NSW Waratahs’ impressive trial wins over the ACT Brumbies and Queensland Reds could signal a major shift in the team’s approach and confidence ahead of the upcoming Super Rugby Pacific season. While pre-season results are often taken cautiously, the Waratahs showed sharper execution, improved cohesion and attacking intent in both matches.

The performances suggest the Sydney-based side may be moving away from recent struggles, with new combinations clicking early and younger players stepping up. Coaches will be encouraged by the energy and structure on display, even as defensive lapses remain areas to refine.

As the regular season approaches, these trial victories have boosted optimism that the Waratahs could be more competitive and consistent in 2026, setting the tone for a potential turnaround campaign.

32-Hour Chaos on Mumbai–Pune Expressway Finally Ends After Gas Tanker Accident

Traffic on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway was restored after nearly 32 hours of chaos, following a major disruption caused by an overturned propylene gas tanker near the Adoshi tunnel in the Khandala Ghat section. The incident forced authorities to shut the Mumbai-bound carriageway as a safety measure, leading to massive congestion stretching over several kilometres.

Thousands of commuters were stranded in their vehicles, with many reporting no access to water, food or toilets during the prolonged standstill. Emergency teams, including NDRF and SDRF, worked overnight to safely remove the tanker and contain the gas leak. Traffic movement resumed in the early hours of Thursday, though delays persisted due to vehicle backlogs.

What Is Korean Love Game? Police Probe Online App in Ghaziabad Case

The Korean love game refers to a task-based online mobile game inspired by Korean culture, which police believe the three Ghaziabad sisters were addicted to. According to investigators, the girls had been playing the game for nearly two to three years, spending long hours completing tasks and engaging in role-play.

The game reportedly involved imaginary characters and emotional immersion, with the sisters believing they were “Korean princesses.” Police found diary entries and drawings linked to Korean themes, suggesting deep psychological involvement. Authorities are still analysing their phones, and the exact name of the game has not been identified.

The case has raised serious concerns about online gaming addiction among minors and the mental health impact of immersive digital content.

Melinda Gates Calls Latest Epstein Revelations “Beyond Heartbreaking”

Melinda French Gates has reacted strongly to the latest documents linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, describing the renewed allegations as “beyond heartbreaking.” The files, which have resurfaced public scrutiny over Epstein’s past associations, once again mention her former husband, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

Speaking in a recent interview, Melinda Gates said the disclosures brought back painful memories and made it clear that questions surrounding Epstein and those named in the documents should be answered by the individuals involved, not her. She also expressed deep sympathy for Epstein’s victims, calling their suffering devastating.

Bill Gates has previously acknowledged meeting Epstein but has denied any wrongdoing and said he regrets the association. Melinda Gates, who divorced Gates in 2021, said she has moved on from that chapter of her life and remains focused on her philanthropic work.
