IISER Kolkata Develops ‘Friendly Bacteria’ To Combat Cancer From Within Patient’s Body

Posted on by
Reply

Kolkata: A team from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata has developed a “friendly bacteria” that can safely and effectively fight cancer from within the patient’s body, the premier institute announced in a statement.

Alongside this breakthrough, the team is also developing a detection system capable of monitoring the progress of the therapy. Together, these innovations mark a new frontier in the combined therapeutic and diagnostic approach to cancer treatment, IISER Kolkata said.

Their project, titled ReSET (Reprogramming the Suppressive Environment of Tumour Microenvironment), addresses one of the biggest barriers in cancer therapy. According to the statement, “Cancer often hides behind special immune cells called T regulatory cells (Tregs), which suppress the body’s natural defence system. This makes standard therapies like immunotherapy or chemotherapy less effective.”

Taking a bold and innovative approach, the IISER Kolkata team is engineering probiotics that can detect tumors and disrupt Tregs activity, reactivating the immune system against cancer. In simple terms, they are converting friendly microbes into living, targeted medicines that could one day work from inside the patient’s body to make cancer treatment safer and more effective.

Moving beyond the lab, the students have integrated human practices into their design by engaging with oncologists, surgeons, cancer survivors, and NGOs. They have also organized outreach programs in schools, cancer awareness campaigns, and collaborated with hair donors and patient support groups. These dialogues helped shape the therapy to be scientifically sound, ethically responsible, and socially relevant.

The team emphasizes that their work is not only a scientific prototype but also a proof of concept demonstrating that India’s youth can drive world-class research. “By targeting the Tregs pathway with engineered bacteria, we hope to bring forward a completely new class of cancer therapeutics, one that will revolutionize the way we treat cancer,” the team noted.

The group of 11 undergraduate students from IISER Kolkata will represent their institute and India at the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Grand Jamboree 2025, the world’s largest synthetic biology competition, to be held in Paris in October this year.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday reiterated his government’s focus on improving Mumbai’s infrastructure and enhancing the Ease of Living, as he prepared to inaugurate two of the city’s most significant projects: Phase 1 of the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) and the final phase of Mumbai Metro Line 3.

Taking to X, the Prime Minister wrote, “On the way to Navi Mumbai to take part in the programme marking the inauguration of Phase-1 of the Navi Mumbai International Airport. With this, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region will get its second major international airport, thus boosting commerce and connectivity. The final phase of the Mumbai Metro Line-3 will also be inaugurated. We are committed to enhancing Mumbai’s infrastructure and boosting Ease of Living for the people of this dynamic city.”

Speaking about the inauguration of Mumbai Metro, he added, “Phase 2B of the Mumbai Metro Line-3 is a significant enhancement to Mumbai’s infrastructure! Metro connectivity is essential for a city’s growth. This project will have a positive impact on the lives of the people of Mumbai.”

### Navi Mumbai International Airport: India’s Largest Greenfield Aviation Project

Developed at an estimated cost of ₹19,650 crore, the Navi Mumbai International Airport represents a major step in India’s journey towards becoming a global aviation hub. Built under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, it is India’s largest Greenfield airport project and the second international airport for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

Spread over 1,160 hectares, NMIA has been designed for maximum efficiency, with the capacity to handle 90 million passengers and 3.25 million metric tonnes of cargo annually. The airport will feature an Automated People Mover (APM) connecting all four passenger terminals for smooth inter-terminal transfers, along with another landside APM linking city-side facilities.

Environmentally conscious in design, NMIA incorporates Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) storage, 47 MW of solar power generation, and electric bus services for city-wide connectivity. It will also become India’s first airport connected by a Water Taxi service, enhancing accessibility while reducing carbon emissions.

### Metro Line 3: Mumbai’s First Fully Underground Metro

Alongside the airport inauguration, PM Modi will also inaugurate Phase 2B of Mumbai Metro Line 3, stretching from Acharya Atre Chowk to Cuffe Parade. Built at an estimated cost of ₹12,200 crore, this milestone will allow the Prime Minister to dedicate the entire Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) to the nation.

Constructed at a total cost of over ₹37,270 crore, this project marks a monumental leap in Mumbai’s urban mobility network. The city’s first fully underground metro line, Metro 3 is expected to transform daily commuting by providing faster, cleaner, and more efficient travel between North and South Mumbai.

By connecting major business, residential, and transport hubs, Metro Line 3 promises to ease congestion, reduce pollution, and redefine public transport for millions of Mumbaikars.

**Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar Raises Objections to Title ‘Chandni Bar Returns’; Producers Claim Legal Rights Secured**

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has raised objections to the use of the title *Chandni Bar Returns* by producer Sandeep Singh and director Ajay Bahl. Bhandarkar, who directed the original *Chandni Bar* (2001) starring Tabu, has filed a complaint with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA), alleging that the makers of the sequel are using his registered title without consent.

The 2001 drama, which won multiple National Awards and firmly established Bhandarkar’s place in Indian cinema, remains one of his most acclaimed works. In his complaint, he claimed that the title *Chandni Bar* belongs to him and accused Singh and Bahl of proceeding without proper authorization.

Following his grievance, IMPPA has reportedly instructed the makers to halt using the title until the matter is resolved.

### Producers Respond With Legal Clarification

In response, Sandeep Singh’s Legend Studios issued an official statement countering Bhandarkar’s claims, asserting that they hold all necessary rights to proceed with the project. The studio clarified that it acquired the option rights to the title from the original producers of *Chandni Bar*, represented by the late R. Mohan’s wife, Lata Mohan Iyer, who is listed as the proprietor in the Government of India’s Trademark Registry.

Co-producer Vishal Gurnani stated:

> “Sandeep Singh’s Legend Studios has acquired the Option Rights of the said title from the Original Producers, who are also the owners of the Registered Trademark and IP owner of the original cult classic *Chandni Bar* (2001). We want to state that no other banner can legally make the said film. Our IP lawyers are replying to the concerned trade associations and are taking all necessary steps to validate and protect our legal rights.”

The studio also shared the official trademark certificate (Application Number 1662053, Class 41), listing Lata Mohan Iyer as the proprietor, thereby substantiating its claim to the title.

### The Road Ahead for *Chandni Bar Returns*

Despite Bhandarkar’s objection, Legend Studios has confirmed that the sequel is moving forward. The film, directed by Ajay Bahl, is slated for a worldwide release on December 3, 2026.

The makers describe the project as a reimagined sequel that will retain the essence of the original while presenting a modern, gritty narrative for contemporary audiences. Legend Studios maintains that it is committed to honoring the legacy of the 2001 classic while ensuring that the production of *Chandni Bar Returns* remains legally compliant and respectful of its predecessor’s cultural impact.

Kerala High Court Slams Centre Over Refusal To Waive Loans For 2024 Wayanad Landslide Victims

Posted on by
Reply

Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Wednesday expressed strong disappointment with the Central government over its refusal to waive loans of people affected by the 2024 Wayanad landslides.

The disaster, which occurred on July 30, 2024, decimated four villages, injured hundreds, claimed over 200 lives, and left 32 people still missing.

A Division Bench of the High Court criticised the Union government for what it described as “bureaucratic babble” and a failure to stand by the citizens of Kerala in a time of crisis.

During the hearing, the Bench told the Central government’s counsel, “Please tell the Union Government it has failed the people of Kerala. We had made it very clear that it is not a situation where the Union is powerless to act. By this affidavit, you’ve again shown that you are hiding behind this argument of powerlessness. Why is that being done?”

The Bench was responding to the Centre’s contention that there is no legal provision for waiving bank loans for natural disaster victims.

“This is just bureaucratic babble. It is not about whether the Union can act, but whether they are willing to act. If you are unwilling, have the courage to say it. Who are you trying to fool?” they asked.

The Court further emphasised that the government should be transparent about its position.

“Please tell your government that these kinds of tactics are not going to carry the day. If they have the courage, let them say that they are not willing to help. At least the people should know that in moments like these, the Union government has failed them,” said the court.

“Having said all this, we can’t be behaving like them. Our sense of Constitutional morality requires us to respect in regard the principle of separation of powers and therefore, we will not issue directions to the Union government. That is because of our magnanimity and as a body, an integral part of the State, which respects the Constitution. Enough is enough. We don’t need the Union’s charity,” it remarked.

The Court thereafter asked for a list of banks and financial institutions controlled by the Union.

It also noted that, as far as some of the state government-controlled banks are concerned, the loans are waived off.

Noting banks such as Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, and some others, the Bench orally observed that it would implead those banks and issue notices to them while staying the recovery action for the time being.

“We will give them the opportunity to seek a modification of this interim order after filing a counter-affidavit, where they will say whether or not they will waive or not the entire loan. If they are not going to waive the loan, either entirely or partially, then let them give reasons as to why they are insisting on this despite this calamitous situation,” the court added.

The case was posted for further hearing after two weeks.

**Elderly Man Assaulted by Youths in Azhikode Over Minor Traffic Dispute**

Azhikode (Kerala): In a disturbing incident reported from Azhikode, a 77-year-old man named Balakrishnan was brutally assaulted and verbally abused by a group of youths following a dispute over not giving way to a car. The shocking attack has garnered widespread attention after a video of the assault went viral on social media.

**Details of the Incident**

The assault took place on Sunday evening at around 4 pm, right in front of Balakrishnan’s residence on Shivaji Road, Mundachali, Azhikkal. According to the victim, while he was sitting inside his car, two young men approached him, asked something, and suddenly struck him on the back of his head without any apparent reason.

Balakrishnan later came to understand that the altercation stemmed from a disagreement related to not moving his car out of the way. “There was space for another car to pass. I still don’t know why they assaulted me,” he stated.

**Attack Captured on Video**

The video footage circulating on social media shows two youths punching, pushing, and slapping the elderly man while hurling verbal abuses. Another young man was seen recording the entire incident, which further spread the video online.

**Repeated Confrontation**

The victim also revealed that about half an hour after the initial attack, the same youths confronted him again near a shop by the Azhikkal Boat Bridge, where they assaulted him once more. Additional footage showing one of the youths threatening Balakrishnan in front of his house has also surfaced.

Balakrishnan has reportedly claimed that he does not know the attackers and remains clueless about their motive. The assailants are believed to be between 20 and 25 years of age.

The Valappattanam police have registered a case against one individual in connection with the assault and are actively investigating the matter.

‘Deposit ₹60 crore’: Bombay High Court tells Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra amid plea seeking permission to travel abroad

Posted on by

**Bombay High Court Demands ₹60 Crore Deposit to Consider Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s Plea to Travel Abroad**

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday demanded a ₹60 crore deposit to consider the plea filed by actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra seeking permission to travel abroad, according to reports by news agencies.

This order comes after the couple approached the High Court to quash a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against them in connection with an FIR relating to an alleged ₹60 crore fraud case.

**Details of the Fraud Case Against Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty**

The case originates from a complaint filed by businessman Deepak Kothari, who accused Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra of inducing him to invest ₹60 crore in their now-defunct venture, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd, between 2015 and 2023. Kothari alleged that the funds were later diverted for personal use.

Raj Kundra has already been questioned by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police. The LOC against the couple was issued at the request of the EOW.

On Tuesday, Shilpa Shetty was questioned by EOW officials for approximately four and a half hours in connection with the ₹60 crore fraud case.

**What Was the Couple’s Plea?**

In their petition, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra claimed that Shilpa resigned from the company in 2016. They emphasized the need to travel abroad for professional commitments and argued that denying them this opportunity would amount to a violation of their fundamental rights.

The Bombay High Court’s demand for a ₹60 crore deposit highlights the seriousness of the case as it continues to unfold.
