Chandigarh: Gangster Goldy Brar, the prime accused in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case, is now officially among Canada’s top 25 most wanted criminals.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) listed him at number 15 among wanted criminals. This has come to light through the website of the Canada-based Bolo program, which disseminates information in the public interest from various law agencies.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has recently chargesheeted Brar and his associates Lawrence Bishnoi (in Bathinda jail), and Anmol Bishnoi (last seen in California, USA), claiming that they have links with terror outfits. India has on several occasions strongly asked the Canadian government not to allow criminals like Goldie Brar to use their soil for crimes and terrorist acts against India.

Toronto: According to a new survey, Olivia Chow has gone far ahead in the race for the post of Mayor of Toronto. But still the voters have not been able to make up their minds.

According to a survey conducted by the National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada (NEPMCC), Chow currently enjoys support from 16 per cent of voters.

With this modest increase, Chow has overtaken former Toronto police chief Mark Saunders and counselor Josh Matlow, who is getting 12 percent support. Councillor Brad Bradford and former Liberal MP Mitzie Hunter are currently backed by six percent of voters.

26 per cent of the voters who have already made up their mind are with Chow, with Saunders having the support of 20 per cent and Matlow with 19 per cent. 39 per cent of the voters are yet to decide which candidate they want to vote for and only 18 per cent of the voters say that they will vote for their candidate.

Meanwhile, a survey conducted by Mainstreet Research also shows the wind direction towards Chow. According to this survey, 26 percent of the voters are ready to vote in favor of Chao. Former councillor Ana Bailão, a close political aide to former mayor John Tory, is said to be second only to Chow with 21 per cent support.

Tory resigned in February 2023 after an affair with his own staff member came to light. Toronto’s by-election will be held on June 26.

New Delhi: Staying healthy in the summer is not as difficult as it seems. This time, the weather is also changing a lot in the summer season. Sometimes there are clouds for two to three days, sometimes there is continuous intense sunlight. And sometimes it starts raining without weather. So pay a little attention, make some things a part of daily life and stay healthy.

Hydration

Physically active

Sun exposure

Full sleep

The right diet

What are the symptoms of dehydration?

To know whether your body is fully hydrated or not, you need to know what are the symptoms of dehydration.

Frequent dry mouth

Constant feeling of urine pressure

The color of urine is dark yellow.

Passing urine by drop-drop

Pain in the head without talking

Feeling restless

Constipation

Feeling of tension in the muscles

Easy way to stay fit

To stay physically fit, you should either walk for 40 minutes every day or exercise for 25 minutes.

The walk should always start slow and then gradually increase the speed. Similarly, when you have to finish the walk, gradually reduce the speed and then stop. Do not stop walking suddenly.

Sun exposure

Fearing blackness, most people avoid going out during the sun. However, this attitude is not right at all. Because the body also needs sunlight.

If you protect the body from sunexposure for a long time, then mental health problems can occur. Sleep can be disturbed together.

It is not necessary that you apply sunscreen before going out in the sun. It is also important to get out without sunscreen so that the body can get vitamin D.

Tanning is not as bad a thing as the marketing of beauty products has made it. So change your thinking and stay healthy.

How to keep the brain healthy

You must get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every day. So much time is needed to relax the mind and heal the body. By sleeping for so long, the body remains healthy and the effect of heat does not disturb mentally.

Healthy diet

Some things must be included in your daily diet in the summer meal and they should also be taken care of the time of eating. For example, always eat yogurt at lunch time.

Take dry fruits for breakfast or at snack time.

Always eat fruits in the time between breakfast and lunch.

New Delhi: In the event of an irretrievable breakdown of marriage, the Supreme Court can order a divorce directly on its behalf. The legal obligation of waiting for 6 months for divorce by mutual consent will also not be necessary in such a situation.

A 5-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court has given this decision. The bench has said that the Supreme Court can give such an order by using the special power given under Article 142 of the Constitution.

Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, provides that if the husband and wife can apply for divorce by mutual consent, then the family court can apply for divorce. But due to the high number of cases in the family court, it takes time to come before the judge for hearing the application.

After this, the first motion of divorce is issued, but the second motion i.e. a formal decree of divorce has to wait for 6 months.

The Supreme Court had earlier ordered divorce on its behalf using Article 142 on the ground that it was impossible to continue the marriage in many cases. Article 142 provides that in the interest of justice, the Supreme Court can pass any order, bypassing legal formalities.
