The city, located in Gujarat, historically lacked strong liberal or left-leaning movements outside a few activists. Protests like Navnirman Andolan in 1974 involved Sangh affiliates, and early segregation was visible in the centuries-old pols. The textile industry's caste hierarchy and subsequent collapse marked a downturn in communal peace. Consequently, the attacks on book readers are seen as unsurprising in a culture where caste inquiry is common. 📚 https://memews.com/news/medical-student-stipend-ruled-tax-free-by-itat-delhi-cmu3zkoir8474cc6x 2026-09-16T10:00:00.000Z 0.6 Times of India en 2026-09-16T10:00:00.000Z Medical student stipend ruled tax-free by ITAT Delhi https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-134284425,width-1280,height-720,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-600/photo.jpg Medical student stipend ruled tax-free by ITAT Delhi A postgraduate medical student received an Rs 18.34 lakh stipend from Aligarh Muslim University during her PG Medical course.

These objects were found by researchers studying data from within the first two billion years post-Big Bang. Specifically, the Virgil Galaxy showed evidence of a massive black hole that challenges current cosmological models. One theory suggests these 'overmassive' black holes might be obscured by dense gas cocoons. Scientists plan to get deeper mid-infrared data to better understand these cosmic mysteries. 🌌 https://memews.com/news/iranian-strikes-damage-us-bases-in-middle-east-cmu3u3xfn1ugdhbsu 2026-09-16T07:14:00.000Z 0.6 Times of India en 2026-09-16T07:14:00.000Z Iranian Strikes Damage US Bases in Middle East https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-134281012,width-1280,height-720,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-600/photo.jpg Iranian Strikes Damage US Bases in Middle East New photos reveal extensive damage inflicted upon several US military bases across the Middle East following Iranian missile and drone attacks.

Fibre is now seen as crucial for overall health, supporting digestion, blood sugar, and heart function for women. Nutrition experts suggest most adult women should aim for 25 to 30 grams of fibre daily. This intake supports hormonal health and helps manage oestrogen metabolism through the gut. Focusing on variety from whole foods is key, rather than hitting an exact daily number. Gradually increasing intake is advised to avoid discomfort like bloating. 🍎 https://memews.com/news/iphone-duo-is-an-air-jordan-18-pro-is-gel-kayano-cmu3rvn5gzjapd2rp 2026-09-16T06:56:49.000Z 0.6 Hindustan Times · Tech en 2026-09-16T06:56:49.000Z iPhone Duo is an Air Jordan, 18 Pro is Gel-Kayano https://www.hindustantimes.com/ht-img/img/2026/09/16/1600x900/logo/1_1789541644209_0KoZ_1789541659311_yxoj_4561d51d-72b3-44a9-8a10-25ace9471bd3_RoC7.jpg iPhone Duo is an Air Jordan, 18 Pro is Gel-Kayano Anand Ahuja compared Apple's new iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro to iconic sneakers like an Air Jordan and Gel-Kayano.

This mechanism was observed in lung epithelial cells, where CsA induced IFN-λ mRNA and secretion. At concentrations like 10 µM and 25 µM, significant IFN-λ induction occurred, alongside a dose-dependent rise in IFN-β. This effect was functionally validated in mice treated with CsA, reaching relevant blood concentrations. The findings suggest CsA works as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent through this dual mechanism. 🧪 https://memews.com/news/itc-raises-prices-on-gold-flake-and-classic-connect-cigarettes-cmu3tl3yh1815cpbee 2026-09-16T02:59:28.000Z 0.6 Google News · Business en 2026-09-16T02:59:28.000Z ITC raises prices on Gold Flake and Classic Connect cigarettes https://memews.com/news/drunk-biker-caught-overtaking-minister-s-convoy-in-pune-cmu3lfh3mtn1xzf4lq 2026-09-16T02:53:44.000Z 0.6 NDTV en 2026-09-16T02:53:44.000Z Drunk Biker Caught Overtaking Minister's Convoy in Pune https://memews.com/news/agarkar-s-last-call-could-shape-rohit-s-future-cmu3tw7wg1fbwhnmo 2026-09-16T02:53:29.000Z 0.6 Google News · Sports en 2026-09-16T02:53:29.000Z Agarkar's last call could shape Rohit's future https://www.hindustantimes.com/ht-img/img/2026/09/16/1600x900/logo/rohit-agarkar_1789545986497_kuLZ_1789545986700_79Cp_1669e9e7-abd4-4b42-a8ad-b0bc15c8a51b_08Pg.jpg Agarkar's last call could shape Rohit's future The BCCI selection committee, chaired by Ajit Agarkar, is meeting in Delhi to name the 15-member squad for the West Indies ODIs starting September 27.

This breakthrough was achieved by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology and Institut de Biologie Structurale. The enzyme, nitrogenase, from the deep-sea archaeon Methanocaldococcus infernus works above 90 °C. This finding sheds light on how nature breaks the strong N₂ triple bond, crucial for fertilizer production. Future uses could involve crops getting nitrogen directly from the atmosphere. 🧪 https://memews.com/news/cheaper-smaller-lasers-are-on-the-way-cmu3dpja7mgoyw17h 2026-09-16T00:36:20.000Z 0.6 Google News · Science en 2026-09-16T00:36:20.000Z Cheaper, smaller lasers are on the way ⚛️ https://img.chemie.de/Portal/News/6aa908ff28062_8W0Zdux5s.png?tr=w-3306,h-2479,cm-extract,x-99,y-0:n-xzoom Cheaper, smaller lasers are on the way ⚛️ Researchers successfully operated a laser-plasma free-electron laser in a stable, high-gain regime for the first time.
