New Delhi: In a shocking incident, a youth was brutally attacked, stabbed and made to run by half a dozen armed assailants who also opened fire in the air in East Delhi’s Mayur Vihar.
The entire incident was captured in CCTV footages which have been accessed by the IANS.
The police said that the incident was reported on Sunday morning.
A police source stated that the victim was stabbed nine times by the assailants who fled from the crime scene leaving the victim in a pool of blood.
The victim was later on moved to a nearby government hospital where his condition is stated to be critical by the doctors.
A case has been lodged in this respect. The police have formed a team of its elite officials to nab the accused. Further details are awaited.
Coimbatore: The National Education Policy (NEP) is not a document containing few pages but has lot of new features for the benefit of students, said Union Education and Skill Development Minister Dharmendra Pradhan here on Saturday.
Though education is in the concurrent list of the States, the Centre expects Tamil Nadu to accept NEP, he said.
The Union government is open to ideas and new methods when it comes to NEP, Pradhan said while addressing the 34th convocation of Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women in the city.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphatically said that all should learn mother tongue and the NEP will help to learn, read and write in mother tongue in foundational years, he said and added that the government has asked the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to publish books in all Indian languages from this academic year onwards.
The holistic development of the children will be better if they study in mother tongue and India’s education focuses on employability, empowerment and enlightenment, he said.
Stating that technology was new disrupter, the Union Minister said millions of people use mobile phones. “Internet and smart phones are basic requirements and we were dependent on foreign technologies like android or ios. However, IIT Madras has developed technology for the indigenous 5G a few days ago,” he pointed out.
Referring to COVID-19 vaccines, Pradhan said, “Indians have taken the vaccine, but no one in the world got certificate within a few seconds after taking it like our country. It is such type of technology we are developing in India.”
Highlighting about women empowerment, the Union Minister said, “Tamil Nadu is much more ahead of rest of the country and the State has highest number of working women in the country. India is the mother of democracy and Tamil Nadu the epicenter.” During India’s G20 Presidency this year, “I expect discussion and deliberation takes place about it in the university,” he said.
Later, replying to a question on decreased budget allocation for NEP, the Union Minister said that it was a wrong information. “The government and Finance Ministry were extending full support to the new education policy and in the next budget more funds will be allocated,” he said.
Hyderabad: On a gleeful Saturday morning scores of people can be seen thronging a recently inaugurated supermarket even before doors open.
Spread around 26,000 sqft area, the Red Rose Mart located in Falaknuma was launched by Home minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali and animal husbandry minister T Srinivas Yadav on January 14.
The video, of a large number of Hyderabadis, gathered outside the supermarket as the doors open, surfaced and has been doing rounds on social media.
The shop consists of goods like fast-moving consumer products, a coffee shop, a meat store, a vegetable, and fruit corner, a sweet meat store, cosmetics, imitation jewellery, and a pharmacy.
The mart also holds daily lucky draws for shoppers who shop for above Rs 1000. A bumper draw post 45 days is also being organised where the winner will take away a Toyota Glanza vehicle along with a TV, washing machine and other accessories.
Red Rose Group owners Zia ur Rahman and Syed Zeeshanuddin came up with the idea of the ‘Red Rose Mart,’ a supermarket in the city that has thrilled the citizens to rush to the store and shop, in the latest ambience of a grocery store.
Zia ur Rahman, said, “This is just the beginning, we are coming up with new stores in the city soon.”
“Under one roof you will get a lot of things at reasonable rates with good quality products. Apart from the supermarket concept we have tied up with Apollo Pharmacy followed by Barfi Sweet House and a coffee shop outside the supermarket”, he said.
The Red Rose Group of Industries has amassed a tremendous amount of trust and esteem. Red Rose succeeds in several industries with prosperous endeavours, from real estate and FMCG to hotels and medical equipment. By joining the retail industry, it hopes to diversify its line of work and offer a new kind of service to its clientele.
The Red Rose Group of Industries is prepared for a sustained and prosperous existence in the retail sector. In order to upend the successful industry, it plans to open more than 100 new locations over the next ten years.
Novak Djokovic was not aware Andy Murray was about to be beaten on another court. He was still on Rod Laver Arena, having survived the pain of his troublesome hamstring and then thrived despite it to see off Grigor Dimitrov 7-6 (7), 6-3, 6-4. As far as he knew, he and Murray were the only grand slam champions left in the men’s draw. Two 35-year-olds battling their own bodies as much as their opponents.
“Thirty-five is the new 25, you know,” Djokovic said, jesting as if he had not just grunted through more than three hours of probable torture and a medical timeout to get the job done. “Look at Rafa, look at Andy. They’re all playing at an extremely high level.
“Every season counts now, when you come to the last stage of your career. You start appreciating and valuing every single tournament more because you know you might not have too many left in the tank. It’s been almost 20 years of professional sport, so I can’t be more grateful than I am.”

A minute or so before Djokovic was feeling grateful, he and Dimitrov played a 31-point rally until the latter overcooked a shot to give the Serb two match points. Djokovic closed his eyes and raised his arms above his head in a clapping motion, corralling the crowd into his orbit for the next big moment.
Loth to miss out, Dimitrov did the same, mimicking his close friend, who was about to beat him. Teasing? Not sure, but it was funny. Then Djokovic served and Dimitrov’s 50th unforced error ended the match and his campaign.
Djokovic is still standing, the only major winner remaining, with his mindset on that coveted 10th Australian Open title, even if his body is not. If there exists such a thing as a gruelling straight-sets win, this was it. The hamstring injury is common knowledge. After defeating France’s Enzo Couacaud in the second round he said it was getting worse, that “it’s not good at all” and he was apprehensive about this third-round tie.

On Saturday night he was limited in what he could accomplish physically, unable to run for balls he would usually track with no issue, limping at times and even falling dramatically after dragging himself to the net for a drop shot that won him a shaky first set. He had an early break and appeared well on his way before Dimitrov fought back to 5-5 and almost broke Djokovic’s serve a second time while up 6-5 but for three precision aces that forced a tie-break.
The Bulgarian world No 28 had an extra pep in his step, but he could not poke enough holes in Djokovic’s game to drain dry the man he has beaten once in their 11 meetings – as a 21-year-old in 2013. Djokovic was world No 1 then. He is not any more but still knows how to play like he is. How to turn a precarious contest into a regulation win, with one heavily taped leg buckling beneath him, as if it is just the normal thing to do? Part of the result came down to Dimitrov’s inability to exploit the hampered movement of his adversary and his big-point management ceded several opportunities.
But this is the spell of Djokovic, who is four matches away from a 22nd grand slam title. The next will come on Monday against the Australian , the local hope whose legs are very much intact. “De Minaur is one of the quickest players on the tour, the quickest guy,” he said. “He has improved a lot, has Lleyton [Hewitt] in his corner – that’s a great team.”
De Minaur, who has never played Djokovic, was “ready for the battle”. “I’m not going to read into too much of that injury,” De Minaur said after beating Benjamin Bonzi. “Ultimately, he’s one of the best players in the world and I’m just going to have to take it to him and not shy away from the occasion.”

Every few years, without fail, a new group of young players emerges ready to consolidate the Czech Republic’s reputation as one of the dominant nations in women’s tennis. At the Australian Open, the process is unfolding once more. On Saturday, the 17-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova reached the fourth round of a grand slam tournament for the first time, defeating her compatriot Marketa Vondrousova, a former Czech prodigy herself, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 to advance.
As both players struggled with physical problems in the final stages of a dramatic encounter, Fruhvirtova sealed victory by playing clear and focused tennis in the decisive moments as she recovered from a break down in the third set.
The victory marks another step forward for one of the most promising young players on the tour. Last year, Fruhvirtova broke through by defeating Victoria Azarenka en route to the fourth round of the Miami Open. After qualifying for her first grand slam main draw at the US Open, she won her first WTA title in Chennai in September. She is now the youngest player inside the top 100.
Czech teens have already marked some of the biggest stories of the year so far. The 2023 season began with a surprise run from Fruhvirtova’s junior teammate Linda Noskova, 18, who reached the final in Adelaide from qualifying, beating two top-10 players along the way.
As Noskova fell in the first round of qualifying at the Australian Open, fatigued by her efforts in Adelaide, two other Czech teenagers stole the spotlight by reaching the main draw: the 16-year-old Sara Bejlek and Fruhvirtova’s younger sister, Brenda, who became one of the youngest players to qualify for the main draw of a slam at 15.
While Linda was establishing herself inside the top 100 last year, Brenda built her ranking by tearing through the lower-level ITF events, winning eight $25,000 titles. Now projected to rise to 129th in the live rankings, Brenda is progressing at an even quicker rate than her elder sister and it is only a matter of time before she joins her inside the top 100.

In the fourth round, Linda will face Croatia’s Donna Vekic for her first grand slam quarter-final. Earlier, Vekic easily defeated Nuria Párrizas Díaz of Spain 6-2, 6-2. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka reinforced her status as one of the favourites as she tore through Elise Mertens, the 26th seed, 6-2, 6-3 to reach the fourth round.
After suffering from serving problems through much of last season, Sabalenka has served confidently and efficiently as she started the year by winning her 11th career title in Adelaide. She still has not dropped a set in 2023.

The quarter-finals of a grand slam has been for Alex de Minaur what platform nine and three-quarters is for mere humans – impossible to get in. Aside from last year’s US Open, when he made it that far in a draw reduced by Covid 19, the fourth round has been the Australian’s ceiling.
He is on the verge again at Melbourne Park, after making the fourth round here for a second consecutive year, except that the draw has handed him Novak Djokovic. And he does not think the nine-time Australian Open champion’s hamstring problem will make his assignment any easier.
“Look, I’m not going to read into too much of that injury,” he said. “Ultimately he’s one of the best players in the world, and I’m just going to have to take it to him and not shy away from the occasion. I’m going to make sure I make it as tough as I can, and just bring the recent experience I’ve had on court and how I’ve been feeling.”
De Minaur, the 22nd seed and Australia’s only remaining men’s hope after Alexei Popyrin’s loss to the American Ben Shelton, wasted no time surging into the second week on Saturday, dispatching Benjamin Bonzi in straight sets. The 23-year-old broke his French opponent seven times on Rod Laver Arena in a regulation 7-6 (7-0), 6-2, 6-1 victory lasting only two hours and eight minutes.
“I’m very happy, I can’t lie,” De Minaur said. “Honestly, as a kid, this is what you train for, to be playing on this court in front of you guys on the biggest stages in the world. Every time I get out here I’ve got to pinch myself.”
De Minaur has never faced Djokovic, but he has speed on his side against a player who was visibly hampered by injury in his win over Grigor Dimitrov and afterwards described De Minaur as “one of the quickest players on the tour”.
He also has morale-boosting form on his side, having beaten reigning champion Rafael Nadal in this month’s United Cup and last year’s runner-up, Daniil Medvedev, in November. “These are the matches you want to be playing,” he said. “You don’t want a walkover into the final of a slam. You want to be playing the best in the world. That’s what I’ve got.
“I’m going to probably have the best in the world in front of me, and I’m ready for the battle. I want to take it to them and show what I’m made of in the biggest of stages and just test myself out there and really take it to them.”
