Hyderabad: Cream Stone, the popular ice cream brand, has announced that it will be distributing free ice creams across Hyderabad and 8 other cities today, on May 9, to celebrate the birthday of actor Vijay Deverakonda.
The actor, who has a massive following across India, on Monday visited Cream Stone’s Kondapur branch to flag off the ice cream trucks “Deverakonda Birthday Trucks” which will be travelling across India today. Not just this, the Liger actor even launched his own ice cream concept “Vijay Deverakonda Creation” in association with Cream Stone.
Speaking about the same, Sheetal Patil, CEO of Creamstone said, “There will be 9 trucks which are going across 8 Cities – that are – 2 in Hyderabad and in Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore, Vizag, Pune, Mumbai & Vijayawada. All the trucks in different cities will be starting from Cream Stone ice cream outlets”.
Patil further added, “As it’s summertime Cream Stone will distribute the famous Mango Rush Ice Creams across 8 Cities.”
Vijay Deverakonda, who shot to fame with the 2017 Telugu film “Arjun Reddy,” has become one of the most popular actors in India, with a massive fan following across the country. He made his acting debut with the film Nuvvila in 2011 and later Vijay has experimented with various genres and characters including Geetha Govindam, and Dear Comrade, among others.
On the work front, he will be next seen in an upcoming film, Kushi, with director Shiva Nirvana. It stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the lead role.
Hyderabad: Madhapur Special Operations Team (SOT) on Friday raided an ice cream manufacturing unit and arrested one person for adulteration of the product.
Serilingampally resident Srinivas Reddy was running an ice cream manufacturing unit in a small-scale industrial area for the last five years. The manufacturing unit was run with the help of ten workers.
Srinivas and his workers have been adulterating ice creams by mixing non-ISI brand premium milk powder, expired synthetic colors, chemical powders, stabilizers, and Glycerol Monostearate which can cause have adverse effects on the health of consumers, the police said.
The police investigation regarding the validity of the owner’s manufacturing license is going on.
Passed in 2021, the law requires that female sports teams at the state’s public middle schools, high schools and colleges be based on “biological sex.” Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 12-year-old transgender girl who was looking to try out for her school’s girls cross-country team, challenged the law. Pepper-Jackson has played sports on teams that match her gender identity during several sports seasons.
After the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the state from enforcing the law, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed an emergency request with the high court seeking to put it back into effect.
In a two-page opinion, Alito said the dispute raises “an important issue that this Court is likely to be required to address in the near future.” While acknowledging arguments that West Virginia moved too slowly in the case, he said state officials had the better legal position, at least at this juncture. Thomas joined Alito’s opinion.
Pepper-Jackson’s lawsuit argues that the law violates both Title IX protections against sex discrimination and equal protection rights found in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal lawyers had urged the high court to reject the state’s request, arguing that West Virginia could not prove that there was an emergency that necessitated the court’s intervention.
“We are grateful that the Supreme Court today acknowledged that there was no emergency and that Becky should be allowed to continue to participate with her teammates on her middle school track team, which she has been doing without incident for three going on four seasons,” the groups said in a statement.
This is the second time the court’s conservative majority has declined to weigh in on a high-profile case related to transgender students. In 2021, the court decided not to take up a case on transgender students’ rights to use bathrooms that match their gender identity.
At least 19 states have laws barring transgender women and girls from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity. West Virginia’s request had the support of more than 20 states, which urged the high court to vacate the injunction.
The Supreme Court’s decision comes as the Biden administration is pushing back on those laws by advancing a Title IX rule on athletics participation that is widely expected to safeguard transgender students’ right to play on sports teams.
Morrisey expressed disappointment that the justices declined to step in, but said he expects a different result if and when the appeal in the case reaches the high court for more regular review.
“This is a procedural setback, but we remain confident that when this case is ultimately determined on the merits, we will prevail,” Morrisey said, noting that the 4th Circuit has yet to issue a final ruling on the validity of the law. “We maintain our stance that this is a common sense law — we have a very strong case. It’s just basic fairness and common sense to not have biological males play in women’s sports.”
Alito’s opinion also lamented the fact neither the appeals court nor the Supreme Court’s majority explained their decisions to reject the state’s emergency request.

Khargone: Fifty-five people fell sick, two of them critically, due to food poisoning after eating ice cream at a religious function in Madhya Pradesh’s Khargone district, officials said on Thursday.
Those who took ill included 25 children, they said, adding the ice cream samples have been sent for testing.
These people ate the ice cream prepared and sold by one Dinesh Kushwaha on Wednesday night during a religious function at a temple in Chhatal village, 14 km from the district headquarters, Khargone’s Chief Medical and Health Officer Dr Daulat Singh Chauhan told PTI.
Fifty-five people, including 25 children, were admitted to the district hospital after they complained of colic, vomiting and upset stomach due to food poisoning, he said.
Two children were brought to the facility in critical condition. Their health condition is stable now, the official said.
The hospital’s Resident Medical Officer Dr Dilip Septa said 20 children and 10 other people have so far been discharged after treatment.

The researchers emphasized that the result is preliminary, as the ice cover may melt even more. The official result of the sea ice size will be published at the beginning of March.
Antarctica sea ice cover probably shrank to a record low last week, according to the US Snow and Ice Data Center NSIDC.
The ice sheet has never been this small in the past 45 years that its size has been monitored by satellite measurements.
According to researchers, the surface of the sea ice cover was 1.79 million square kilometers a week ago, which is 136,000 square kilometers less than the previous record result measured in 2022.
NSIDC researchers stressed that the result is preliminary, as the ice sheet may melt even more. The official result of the sea ice size will be published at the beginning of March.
The melting of sea ice is a problem because it accelerates climate change. White ice reflects up to 90 percent of the sun’s energy back into space. When the ice is replaced by a dark sea surface, the water binds a corresponding amount of the sun’s heat to itself.
The area of sea ice around Antarctica has hit a record low, with scientists reporting “never having seen such an extreme situation before”. The ice extent is expected to shrink even further before this year’s summer melting season ends.
The impact of the climate crisis in melting sea ice in the Arctic is clear in the records that stretch back to 1979. Antarctic sea ice varies much more from year to year, which has made it harder to see an effect from global heating.
However, “remarkable” losses of Antarctic sea ice in the last six years indicate that the record levels of heat now in the ocean and related changes in weather patterns may mean that the climate crisis is finally manifesting in the observations.
Scientists were already very concerned about Antarctic ice. Climate models suggested as far back as 2014 that the giant West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), which sits on the continent, was doomed to collapse due to the levels of global heating already seen then.
The increasing loss of sea ice exposes ice sheets and their glaciers to waves that accelerate their disintegration and melting, researchers warned. A recent study estimated that the WAIS would be tipped into gradual collapse – and four metres of sea level rise – with a global temperature rise as low as 1C, a point already passed.
“I have never seen such an extreme, ice-free situation here before,” said Prof Karsten Gohl, from the Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in the Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany, and who first visited the region in 1994.
Gohl, on board the research vessel Polarstern in Antarctica, said: “The continental shelf, an area the size of Germany, is now completely ice-free. It is troubling to consider how quickly this change has taken place.”
Prof Christian Haas, also at the Helmholtz Centre, said: “The rapid decline in sea ice over the past six years is quite remarkable, since the ice cover hardly changed at all in the 35 years before.”
Scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in the US have also said a new record low has been set. They said Antarctic sea ice extent fell to 1.91m square kilometres on 13 February, below the previous record set on 25 February 2022.

Sea ice melts away in the Antarctic summer before starting to grow again as autumn arrives. “In past years, the annual minimum has occurred between 18 February and 3 March, so further decline is expected,” the NSIDC researchers said. “Much of the Antarctic coast is ice free. Earlier studies have linked low sea ice cover with wave-induced stresses on the floating ice shelves that hem the continent, leading to break up of weaker areas.”
The German scientists said the “intense melting” could be due to unusually high air temperatures to the west and east of the Antarctic peninsula, which were about 1.5C above the long-term average. Furthermore, there have been strong westerly winds, which increase sea ice retreat. The result is “intensified melting of ice shelves, an essential aspect of future global sea-level rise”, the researchers said.
Historical records also show dramatic changes in Antarctica, they said. The Belgian research vessel Belgica was trapped in massive pack ice for more than a year in the Antarctic summer 125 years ago, in exactly the same region where the Polarstern vessel is now sailing in completely ice-free waters.
Prof Carlos Moffat, at the University of Delaware, US, and recently returned from a research cruise in the Southern Ocean, told Inside Climate News: “The extraordinary change we’ve seen this year is dramatic. Even as somebody who’s been looking at these changing systems for a few decades, I was taken aback by what I saw.”
