Anoushka Shankar recalls being harassed in public by man who ‘lifted’ her without consent | Music News

Published by Parlour News

Veteran sitarist and musician Anoushka Shankar recently shared on social media a deeply distressing and chilling experience she had, where a man grabbed her without consent and lifted her into the air as she was interacting with a few fans after a show. Maintaining that the incident happened so fast, Anoushka said she didn’t even have time to process what was happening. She also pointed out that such incidents, in which one fails to offer a ‘fitting’ response, can cause them to gaslight themselves into believing that the other person’s actions were without ill intent. She also maintained that these violations could reopen even childhood wounds that one believed had been healed. “A man picked me up last weekend. I mean, he physically lifted me. He asked if he could, but didn’t wait for an answer before I found myself suspended in the air, clasped in a stranger’s bear hug, my feet dangling. I had been meeting a few fans after a show, and it all happened so fast. I laughed awkwardly and asked to …

Airfare caps on domestic tickets to be lifted on March 23: MoCA sources

Published by Webster

The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) will lift temporary caps on domestic airfares from March 23, following the stabilisation of flight operations and restoration of capacity, sources told the ANI. The move will mark a return to market-driven pricing across India’s domestic aviation sector. The restrictions were introduced in December 2025 after widespread flight cancellations by IndiGo led to a sharp drop in capacity. This resulted in a surge in ticket prices on major domestic routes, prompting concerns over affordability. Sources indicated that the lifting of these restrictions will return pricing to a market-driven model. While removing the caps, the Ministry cautioned airlines to maintain reasonable, transparent pricing and warned of potential regulatory intervention if unjustified surges occur. Return to market-based pricing With operations now stabilised, the government has decided to withdraw the caps and allow airlines to determine fares based on demand and supply, according to the ANI. However, airlines have been advised to maintain reasonable and transparent pricing practices. The Ministry cautioned that any unjustified increase in ticket prices could invite regulatory intervention. …

However, it is important to note that GRAP Stages I, II and III remain in force. These stages continue to place restrictions on specific vehicle categories to …

BREAKING: Ban lifted, this IPL bowlers can use saliva to shine ball | Ipl News

Published by Webster

Bowlers can use saliva to shine the ball at this season’s Indian Premier League (IPL). The BCCI lifted the Covid-19 pandemic time ban that ICC came up with after the meeting of IPL captains in Mumbai on Thursday. “The captains were asked for suggestions and the lifting of the saliva ban was one among them. There was no opposition and it was unanimously agreed to do away with it. This was the BCCI’s domestic tournament and so we are not bound by ICC’s guidelines here,” a BCCI official informed. The Indian board is going to make an official announcement soon and also inform the stakeholders.. Earlier this month Indian pacer Mohammad Shami had appealed to the ICC to lift the ban. Since 2011, two balls have been used per innings in ODIs. This means that balls are not as scuffed up as they used to be. Add to this the prohibition on using saliva, generating reverse swing has gotten much more difficult. “We are trying to reverse, but you are not getting the use of …
