Rashtrapati Niketan, the Presidential Retreat in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, will open for public viewing starting June 24 as part of efforts to promote citizen engagement with the institution of the President and India’s heritage.
The opening of the 186-year-old 21-acre Estate is part of the initiative to increase citizen engagement with the President and the heritage of Rashtrapati Bhavan. Under this initiative, since 2023, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Rashtrapati Nilayam, Hyderabad, and Rashtrapati Niwas, Mashobra, have been opened up for public visits six days a week. From February 2025, the Change of Guard Ceremony started at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan in a new format with increased seating capacity.
President Droupadi Murmu will visit the Rashtrapati Niketan on June 20 to oversee the preparations for the Estate’s public opening. On the occasion, she will also lay the foundation stone for Rashtrapati Udyan, a 132-acre ecological park.
The Rashtrapati Niketan, earlier known as Rashtrapati Ashiana, was used by the President’s Bodyguards for the training of PBG horses. This heritage building now showcases a curated selection of artwork and offers a glimpse into its rich legacy. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the stables and horses of the President’s Bodyguard. The Lily Pond, Rockery Pond, Rose Garden, and Pergola will also be attractions for visitors.
In addition to the Rashtrapati Niketan, people can also visit the Rashtrapati Tapovan, a 19-acre dense forest trail on the Rajpur Road. The Tapovan offers a serene escape into nature with a rich canopy of native trees, winding trails, wooden bridges, elevated machans for birdwatching, and quiet spots for reflection and meditation. It has been developed with the aim of connecting visitors with the natural world through guided trails, seasonal flora, and eco-interpretive elements.
The Rashtrapati Udyan, which is scheduled to be open to the public next year, is planned to be developed as a dynamic environmental and recreational space, featuring thematic gardens, a butterfly garden, a scenic lake, an aviary, and a dedicated children’s play area. The park plan also includes a sports zone, walking tracks, jogging and cycling tracks, water conservation systems, and outdoor learning installations-creating a living classroom that encourages environmental awareness, active lifestyles, and family-friendly engagement in harmony with nature.

Following the all-party delegation’s visit to Russia, led by DMK MP Kanimozhi to Russia, Indian Ambassador to Russia Vinay Kumar said the visit sent a strong message reaffirming India’s “zero tolerance” policy towards terrorism.
Kumar said that Russian leaders understand the danger posed by terrorism linked to Pakistan and pointed out that many of the major terror attacks across the world in recent decades have connections to Pakistan. He highlighted that even Osama bin Laden was found living in a Pakistani military town, and that many other terrorists who operated in Russia had received training in Pakistani camps.
Speaking to ANI, Kumar said, “The first outcome of the visit is that there is full understanding of the threat that terrorism emanating from Pakistan poses to the larger international community, not only India. Second, there is a complete understanding that this threat needs to be tackled. There is unflinching support for the fight against terrorism. There is also an understanding that it cannot be business as usual, that there is a need to take a tough stand, and that we all want this problem to be resolved through political and diplomatic means. India has the right to defend itself…”
He said, “Her delegation’s visit to Russia in the first place conveyed India’s determination of zero tolerance for terrorism and what the new normal that the government of India, the Prime Minister, has talked about. There is nobody in Russia who actually has any doubt about the threat that terrorism poses as it emanates from Pakistan, because most terror attacks across the world in the last few decades have a signature or direct involvement of Pakistani actors. Not only was Osama bin Laden living in the military township, but also a large number of other terrorists who are very active in Russia itself, had got training from those institutions being run by the Pakistani establishment.”
Kumar noted that the visit will strengthen India-Russia cooperation, especially in the area of counterterrorism.
“Russia-India relations are very multifaceted and very wide. One aspect of that cooperation is counterterrorism. Russia was the first country with which we signed an MoU in 2002, and established a joint working group on counterterrorism. And within the framework of this, interagency consultations are held on a regular basis, and relevant information exchange of views takes place. So the visit of this delegation will further deepen those cooperations,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Kumar said that India’s message to Pakistan was “simple and clear” that any escalation would be met with a response.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, he said, “Our message was very simple and very clear that India will respond to any escalation by Pakistan. They had started with a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, and there had to be a response.”
Further, the envoy emphasised that “every action will have consequences.”
Highlighting India’s stance, he affirmed, “Our message was crystal clear to all the leaders who spoke to Indian leaders that if Pakistan wants to cease fire, if Pakistan wants to stop this, then they simply have to call the Indian military command.”
The delegation, led by Kanimozhi, includes Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Rajeev Rai, Capt. Brijesh Chowta of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Prem Chand Gupta of Rashtriya Janata Dal, Ashok Kumar Mittal of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and former Ambassador Manjeev S Puri. They arrived in Moscow on Friday.
On Saturday, the delegation members paid floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi’s statue at the Indian Embassy in Moscow, where they were warmly welcomed by Indian Ambassador to the Russian Federation Vinay Kumar.
They also held a meeting with the Russian State Duma and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Apart from Russia, the delegation will visit Slovenia, Greece, Latvia, and Spain to highlight Operation Sindoor and reaffirm India’s unwavering stand against terrorism. (ANI)

Actor Alia Bhatt made a breathtaking debut at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on Friday.
Decked up in a Schiaparelli cream gown, the ‘Highway’ actor stole everyone’s attention with her look.
She walked the iconic red carpet in an off-shoulder outfit made in ecru Chantilly lace, with organza and enamel flowers embroidered on the bodice.
The custom soft nude bodycon version, which was elevated with tulle ruffles at the hem, received a thumbs up from fashionistas.
“A vision in cream,” said fans.
“She ruled the red carpet,” another fan commented.
Alia was styled by Rhea Kapoor. She styled her hair in a neat bun with edges in a unique pattern. For the makeup, she kept it shiny and radiant.
Before hitting the red carpet, Alia took to Instagram and shared a sneak peek of her outfit on her Instagram Stories. In the black-and-white, she could be seen posing with a hand fan which had the L’Oreal quote ‘I’m worth it’.
Alia appeared on the red carpet with elan, striking stylish poses for the shutterbugs. She even greeted the paparazzi with a ‘namaste’ gesture.
Reportedly, Alia was supposed to make her Cannes debut during the opening ceremony. However, in the wake of India-Pakistan tensions, she postponed her travel.
On her birthday in March, Alia, during a press meet, confirmed her Cannes debut.
“This is going to be my first year when I’m going to Cannes. So I’m very nervous and very excited, and I’m also now trying my hand at new makeup looks and videos. I put up a makeup tutorial of my own at the beginning of the year. Now my, you know, my team is like, Why don’t we try something that you’ve never done before, like blue eyeshadow or pink eyeshadow or something like that?” she said. (ANI)
Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan returned to Mumbai on Friday night after representing India at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
She was accompanied by her daughter Aaradhya, and the duo was seen greeting the paparazzi warmly outside the Mumbai airport.
Aaradhya, holding onto her mother, also smiled at the crowd as they made their way to the car.
The mother-daughter duo coordinated their outfits, both dressed in black.
Aishwarya wore a sleek black top paired with matching tights and a stylish coat, while Aaradhya donned a black top, denim jeans, and a black jacket.
At Cannes, Aishwarya continued her legacy of iconic red carpet moments. On the first day, she embraced a traditional look, wearing a regal ivory saree with a dramatic pallu and lace trail.
She completed the ensemble with a layered ruby necklace and a dash of sindoor, adding a cultural touch to her appearance.
For her second outing at the festival, she made a bold fashion statement in a custom creation by designer Gaurav Gupta.
The ensemble featured a striking black shimmer gown accompanied by a voluminous white cape.
The Banarasi brocade cape was handwoven in Varanasi. The cape stood out not just for its rich texture but also because it was inscribed with a Sanskrit shloka from the Bhagavad Gita.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya was last seen in ‘Ponniyin Selvan: II’ (2023), directed by Mani Ratnam, where she starred alongside a stellar cast including Vikram, Karthi, Trisha Krishnan, and Sobhita Dhulipala. She has not yet announced her next project. (ANI)
Actor Mukul Dev, known for his work across Hindi, Punjabi, South Indian cinema, and television, has passed away at the age of 54.
The news has shocked the Indian entertainment industry, with colleagues and fans expressing deep sorrow over his untimely demise.
Born on September 17, 1970, in New Delhi, Mukul Dev was a well-known face across multiple film industries.
He began his acting career in 1996 with the TV series ‘Mumkin’ and made his film debut the same year in the thriller ‘Dastak’, starring alongside Sushmita Sen. His career spanned over two decades, during which he appeared in numerous films across Hindi, Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam cinema.
Mukul’s diverse filmography includes iconic roles in popular movies such as ‘Son of Sardaar’, ‘R…Rajkumar’, and ‘Jai Ho’.
Following the news of his death, tributes began pouring in from across the entertainment industry.
Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who worked with Mukul in the 1996 film ‘Dastak’, shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.
“It’s impossible to put into words what I’m feeling. Mukul was a brother in spirit, an artist whose warmth and passion were unmatched. Gone too soon, too young. Praying for strength and healing for his family and everyone grieving this loss. Miss you meri jaan…until we meet again. Om Shanti,” Bajpayee wrote.
Actor Vindu Dara Singh also expressed his grief over the actor’s demise in a post on X.
“Rest in peace my brother #MukulDev ! The time spent with you will always be cherished and #SonOfSardaar2 will be your swansong where you will spread joy and happiness to the viewers and make them fall down laughing!,” he wrote. (ANI)
A 55-year-old woman from the National Capital Region has been tested positive for COVID-19, marking the first case in Uttar Pradesh’s Noida amid the recent surge in cases in India, as per the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Gautam Buddha Nagar.
According to the CMO, Narendra Kumar, the woman from Sector 110 in Noida has been placed under home isolation, with her husband and maid, who are part of the household, testing negative for the virus.
He further added that the woman had travelled by train a few days back.
Earlier, AIIMS Rishikesh had reported three COVID cases, adding to the recent surge in cases across the country. Speaking with ANI, Rishikesh AIIMS Director Meenu Singh informed that one of the three patients has already been discharged.
“Three COVID patients have been reported in the AIIMS… One has been discharged… Another patient is one of our residents. She has been kept in isolation. Another patient is from Gujarat who came here for the Badrinath Yatra,” Dr Meenu Singh said.
Dr Singh also mentioned that this variant of COVID is not very harmful, but people should be cautious.
“The state has kept us on alert. We have implemented COVID-appropriate behaviour in our institute… This variant is not very harmful, but if someone has any comorbidities… then they should get themselves checked,” she said.
Meanwhile, in view of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in various parts of the country, the Delhi government has issued an advisory directing all hospitals to ensure preparedness for the availability of beds, oxygen, medicines, and vaccines.
However, according to the experts, the situation is under control.
Dr Suranjit Chatterjee, Senior Consultant in Internal Medicine at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, said on Friday, “At the moment, the situation is under control. There are, at most, sporadic cases, which are also rare. Even the present cases are being managed very easily.”
“They are not being hospitalised. This is what we were expecting: that when COVID happened, it would remain a seasonal flu which could be treated very easily. The situation is not one of panic…” he further said.
“We haven’t seen any hospitalised or ICU Covid-19 cases in the hospital. Only hype has been created, but there is no need to panic,” he said.
As of May 19, the number of active COVID-19 cases in India stands at 257 – a very low figure considering the country’s large population. Almost all of these cases are mild, with no hospitalisation required. The government also has a robust system for surveillance of respiratory viral illnesses, including COVID-19, through the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) and the ICMR. (ANI)
Condemning the recent instances of language-based harassment in some cities, Bangalore-based Ambika Nair says language should open hearts, not close doors. Her views:
From childhood, we’re taught to be like sponges—amiable, absorbing, and assimilative. I was raised in such an environment, where being different was not just accepted but embraced. Growing up in Calcutta, where my parents were also born, it felt completely natural to speak multiple languages. In fact, I spoke Bangla before I became fluent in English.
Calcutta had this beautiful spirit of inclusivity—you could be of any religion, speak any language, and it was all completely normal. Studying in a convent school, we were surrounded by children speaking all kinds of languages. So we grew up without ever feeling the need to differentiate. When that becomes your foundation, you carry that value system with you into adulthood. And if I can pass that on to my children, I know they’ll imbibe the same ethos of acceptance and respect.
Another thing we’ve always been told since childhood is to learn a foreign language—French, Spanish, German—because it’ll help if we study or travel abroad. And it’s true. If you visit countries like France or Germany, you’ll see how strongly people hold on to their language. They may even hesitate to help you if you don’t speak it. In fact, when we seek employment in countries like France, Japan, or China, we willingly learn their language to adapt, to integrate, and to be respectful. Then why hesitate to learn and converse in the local language when we move to a different state or city within our own country? Especially when we go there to live, work, and grow alongside its people.
So I don’t see any harm in making an effort to learn Kannada if you’re living in Bengaluru or Marathi if in Maharashtra. It’s a small gesture—just a few words scattered in your sentences—but it matters. The people here are simple and warm. What they appreciate is the effort, the intention to connect. Even a simple “Madi” (do it) can make a difference.
I loved the initiative of an autorickshaw driver in Bengaluru, who displays a leaflet titled “Learn Kannada with Auto Kannadiga” in his vehicle. It lists everyday Kannada phrases with English translations to help passengers learn the basics—like greetings and how to ask for payment. That’s the kind of positive cultural bridge we need. I’ve personally begun weaving Kannada into my routine because of efforts like these.
I sometimes wish the staff working in my home spoke Kannada. Ironically, many of them don’t—especially in more elite residential areas—because speaking Hindi opens up better employment opportunities for them. But had they spoken in Kannada, I know I would have picked it up quickly, just like my sister who lived in Banashankari. There, Kannada was the only way to get by. She lives in Delhi now but still proudly speaks the language when she visits Bengaluru.
My husband is Malayali, and after marriage, I found myself in a completely new linguistic environment. Initially, I couldn’t understand a word around me. Thankfully, my in-laws spoke English, so it wasn’t too tough. But I’ve seen friends in similar situations struggle for years. It’s hard not understanding what’s being said around you. I felt like a foreigner on many occasions. But I made a conscious effort to learn basic Malayalam words and phrases—just enough to get by—and it made a huge difference.
Language is such a beautiful gateway to shared existence. When you try to speak someone’s language, even brokenly, it brings an undeniable sweetness to the relationship. It shows respect and effort.
Now, when it comes to artists being asked—or forced—to perform or sing in the local language, I have a simple view. Many legendary singers like Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and S. P. Balasubrahmanyam have sung in multiple regional languages with ease and respect. Their voices transcend boundaries. But no one should be compelled. If a singer chooses to perform in a local language, wonderful. If not, that’s their right. Let’s keep politics and sensitive regional issues like Pahalgam out of music and performances. After all, the artist is there to entertain, not make a statement.
A few years ago, “Kannada gothilla”, (I don’t know Kannada ) was a standard response from newcomers. But now, I’ve seen it evolve into a warmer “Try madthini”” (I am trying). Just saying that brings a smile to people’s faces. And that’s the essence—it’s about trying.
At home, we always prioritised our mother tongue before anything else—even before English. And I believe that’s how people across India are protecting their languages, which is completely valid and beautiful. Because language should open hearts, not close doors and learning that language is not just about words—it’s about respect and a quiet act of belonging.
Right-hand batter Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new Test captain for India while wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant will serve as his deputy in the longest format, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced squad for the highly anticipated five-match Test series against England on Saturday.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia and the Men’s selection committee attended the meeting at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.
Right-arm seamer Jasprit Bumrah was also considered a potential candidate for the Test captaincy; however, recurring injury concerns in recent times have diminished his prospects. Another name in contention was middle-order batter KL Rahul, but at 33, his age is seen as a limiting factor for a long-term leadership role.
India has added Abhimanyu Easwaran to the Test squad. He has been a domestic cricket stalwart for Bengal, with 101 first-class games, 7,674 runs at an average of 48.87, 27 centuries, and 29 fifties behind him. He had a disappointing tour to Australia last year, where he scored just 36 runs in four innings.
Following Kohli’s retirement from the longest format of the game, a couple of budding and solidified figures like Sai Sudarshan and Karun Nair have been added to the middle-order.
Sudarshan has bided his time in India’s domestic circuit and has carved out his name as a future all-format prospect, standing out as one of the prominent names to fill the everlasting void left by Virat.
The 23-year-old Tamil Nadu batter ran rampant with his sizzling batting display and mustered up 304 runs in three Ranji Trophy matches at 76.00, including a double-hundred, a century and a fifty each. When one dives deeper, Sudharsan has featured in 29 First-Class fixtures, racked up 1,957 runs, averaging nearly 40, glistened with seven centuries and five half-centuries.
Karun, who asked for a second chance with a heartfelt tweet in December 2022, made the most of the opportunity while representing Vidarbha domestically. The man who is just the second Indian to blaze his way to a triple hundred exhibited quintessential form and has pushed a case for his return to the Indian team since his last Test in 2017. He was the fourth-highest run-scorer in last season’s Ranji Trophy with a staggering tally of 863 in nine appearances at 53.93.
In the bowling department, right-arm seamer Jasprit Bumrah will be leading the unit on England soil. Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh and Shardul Thakur are the other fast bowlers in the squad.
Clearing the air on right-arm pacer Mohammed Shami’s inclusion in the squad, BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said, “Unfortunately, Shami is not available right now due to fitness reasons.”
The Indian cricket team is set to tour England in 2025 for a five-match Test series, part of the 2025-2027 ICC World Test Championship.
The series will take place from June to August 2025, with matches at Headingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Lord’s (London), Old Trafford (Manchester), and The Oval (London).
This will be India’s first bilateral series since both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from Test cricket earlier this month.
India’s Test squad for England series: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
