Once native to Karnataka, cheetahs make a comeback

Published by Webster

Four cheetahs from South Africa arrived in Bengaluru early Saturday, marking a fresh push for wildlife conservation in Karnataka. The animals landed at Kempegowda International Airport shortly after midnight and were received by Forest, Ecology, and Environment Minister Eshwar B Khandre. Officials said the transfer was carried out under strict supervision, with veterinary teams ensuring the animals’ safety during transit. The cheetahs have been moved to Bannerghatta Biological Park, where they will undergo a mandatory 30-day quarantine. During this period, experts will monitor their health, diet, and adaptation to local climatic conditions. Authorities have prioritised preventing infections and minimising stress as the animals acclimatise to their new environment.

‘Some people are more native, but it’s a question of citizenship’: Hiren Gohain

Published by Parlour News

At 87, writer and activist Hiren Gohain, one of Assam’s foremost public intellectuals, shows no sign of slowing down. The Assam Nagorik Sanmilani, a citizens’ collective led by him and retired IPS officer Harekrishna Deka, was at the forefront of calls for Opposition unity and seeking judicial intervention over a “sustained pattern of hate speeches” by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. He discusses issues foregrounding the Assam election campaign with The Hindu. Edited excerpts: You were an adviser to the regional party Raijor Dal during its early days before dissociating yourself. Why then did you issue appeals for the Opposition to come together this Assembly election? I used to be adviser but Akhil Gogoi [Raijor Dal chief] refused to have any truck with the Congress, which allied with the AIUDF and other parties in the previous election. Since I was supporting the alliance, I felt it unethical to remain with Akhil Gogoi and resigned. Things have changed a lot since then. This time, I had this notion of an Opposition unity quite early. We had …

2 min readNew DelhiMar 19, 2026 01:29 PM IST Garmin smartwatches have long been the go-to choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, but they run on the company’s proprietary operating system. Because of this, app support has traditionally been limited, with popular apps like WhatsApp notably absent. That is now changing, as Garmin is now launching a new WhatsApp app for select models. Available for free in the Connect IQ Store, the new WhatsApp app is compatible with Fenix 8, Forerunner 970, Venu 4, Venu X1, Fenix 8 Pro, Forerunner 570 and Vivoactive 6. A report by WABetaInfo hints that watches like Enduro 3, Fenix E, Quatix 8, and Tactix 8 are also supported, but we suggest you to take this information with a grain of salt. To use WhatsApp on your Garmin watch, the company says users should update their app to the latest version and enable Bluetooth permissions for WhatsApp on their iPhone. Users are also required to update their Garmin app to version 26,10.105. Apart from being able to view and read …

Gemini App Now Supports Native Image Editing Gemini was fairly late to the image generation space compared to rivals such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Midjourney. While the feature was introduced in early 2024, the Mountain View-based tech giant had to pause and roll back the capability after several users found the chatbot to be generating inaccurate and offensive images. Google then re-added image generation in Gemini in December 2024 with Gemini 2.0 Flash. In a blog post, the tech giant announced that it is rolling out native image editing via Gemini to the Gemini app. The capability …
