The northeastern states would join in the nationwide civil defence mock drill on Wednesday.

The mock exercise is being conducted at more than 244 locations across the country on the directive of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) as part of heightened security measures following the April 22 terror attack at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 innocent civilians, mostly tourists, were killed.

As per the MHA directives, the civil defence mock drill would be conducted in 52 districts in eight northeastern states.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will carry out intensive aerial operations in Rajasthan as part of its regular operational preparedness efforts. The exercise will begin at 3.30 p.m. on May 7 and continue until 9.30 p.m. on May 8, during which airspace in the region will be restricted to ensure safety and operational integrity.

The move comes in the wake of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam last month, which claimed the lives of 26 people, most of them civilians. The assault was carried out by four terrorists affiliated with The Resistance Front, a known proxy of the Pakistan-based and banned terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl first in Match 56 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday.

Gujarat Titans have made one change in the playing XI with Arshad Khan coming in for Washington Sundar. Mumbai Indians are unchanged from their last match.

He said, though Kagiso Rabada was available for selection, he would take a couple of sessions to get into the groove.

Gurugram Police have returned 609 mobile phones that were lost or stolen from January to April 30 this year, to their owners on Tuesday, police said. The estimated value of these mobile phones is around Rs 1.52 crore.

"Our cyber cell teams of different zones have tracked these mobile phones and recovered 609 of these handsets. The recoveries also include costly high-end mobile phones. The phones were either stolen or lost in various parts of the city," Dr Arpit Jain, DCP (headquarters), said.

In view of the inconvenience caused to mobile phone users due to the loss of their sets, the Gurugram Police Commissioner had directed the police to immediately lodge a non-cognizable offence report in such cases and return the phones to the owners after finding help from technical support.

"As per the instructions of the Commissioner of Police, Gurugram Police is doing a commendable job of finding and recovering people's lost mobile phones with the help of the CEIR (Central-Equipment-Identity-Register) portal and police technology," he said. "For most people, mobile phones are more important than their monetary value due to saved data, including contacts, passwords, bank details, and personal information. Police have made it a priority to trace lost or stolen phones with the help of technology," he added.

The British government is planning to restrict visa applications from students of various countries, including Pakistan, as they are considered most likely to seek asylum after reaching the United Kingdom. The move comes as the Keir Starmer-led government looks to bring down annual net migration and restrict inflow from countries whose students apply for student visas but become asylum seekers later.

People who voted for Prime Minister Starmer's Labour Party have expressed anger and frustration over many issues, including illegal immigration. This has prompted the government to formulate a policy document, or a White Paper, which it plans to publish during the coming week.

One97 Communications Limited, the parent company of Paytm, on Tuesday reported a 15.7 per cent drop in revenue to Rs 1,911.5 crore for the January-March 2025 period (Q4 FY25), compared to Rs 2,267.1 crore in the same quarter of the last fiscal (Q4 FY24).

This is only slightly lower than the Rs 550.5 crore loss in the same period last fiscal, according to its stock exchange filings.
