  • One Year After Pahalgam: The Long Road Back for Tourism

    A year after the horrific Pahalgam attack, Pahalgam, one of the most popular tourist spots in South Kashmir, has lost its charm as tourists fear to visit it again, yet the picturesque valley continues to survive, waiting to welcome tourists. Following the April 2025 terror strike, tourism in the region collapsed almost overnight, bookings dropped by 90–95 percent, and the administration shut down 48 of 87 tourist spots, including routes to places like Baisaran meadow. The impact rippled across livelihoods, forcing layoffs and pushing many out of the tourism economy altogether. To restore confidence, authorities have reopened 39 locations with heightened security, QR-code vetting for pony wallas and guides, and an increased presence of patrols. Yet recovery remains uneven. Pony wallas wait for customers who arrive in trickles, while former hotel workers improvise to get by; their futures tied to uncertain footfall.

  • Who Is Marie-Louise Eta, Union Berlin's 'Football Goddess'

    Fighting for survival in the top tier of German football, Union Berlin sacked Steffen Baumgart and appointed Marie-Louise Eta as the interim head coach, making the 34-year-old the first female coach in charge of a men's team in the Bundesliga. Eta was appointed as interim coach with five games to go before the end of the season. Now it's four, after the 1-2 defeat at home against Wolfsburg. Her arrival at Alten Forsterei for the match, however, was a moment to savour. Berlin fans roared "Fussballgottin!” -- Football Goddess. Eta previously became the first female assistant coach in the men’s Bundesliga in 2023, also at Union, and had been coaching the under-19 men's team. Now, she's the first female coach across the top divisions of the “big five” European leagues. Before her, Helen Nkwocha became the first woman to coach a men's European top-division team in 2021 when she took over as head coach of Tvoroyar Boltfelag of the Faroe Islands.

  • Bengal Universities Function From Temporary Campuses Years After Launch

    Several universities announced in West Bengal since 2017 continue to operate without permanent campuses, relying on temporary arrangements. Dakshin Dinajpur University runs from a B.Ed. college, while Harichand Guruchand University holds classes in a government school despite allocated land. Hindi University in Howrah functions from an abandoned civic building, even as a new campus remains unused. In Singur and Mahishadal, land lies largely undeveloped, reflecting slow progress in building infrastructure across these institutions.

  • Brighton 3-0 Chelsea, EPL: Blues' Torrid Run Continues With Another Defeat

    Chelsea’s season slumped deeper into crisis after a 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Tuesday left its hopes of Champions League qualification hanging by a thread. The result leaves Chelsea seventh in the Premier League and seven points adrift of fifth place Liverpool having played a game more. The top five qualify for the Champions League, but with just four more rounds of the season to go, Chelsea is on the verge of being cut adrift. Goals from Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck at the AMEX Stadium did not reflect Brighton’s dominance on the night. Victory saw it leapfrog Chelsea and move up to sixth in the standings and boosted its own pursuit of European soccer next season.
