### Timeline for Road Reopening

“It will take two to three more days for the road to reopen for traffic. It is a cement concrete road, and curing work is currently underway,” said Jaideep More, Assistant Municipal Commissioner in charge of ‘A’ ward.

### Understanding the Road Curing Process

Road curing is a critical process carried out on freshly laid concrete to ensure the pavement gains strength and durability. “The road repair work started only after the water pipeline was fixed. Since it is a cement concrete road, the process takes time. If it were an asphalt road, the resurfacing would have been much quicker,” added More.

Bombay HC Seeks Maharashtra Police Response In YouTuber-Journalist Sneha Barve Assault Case

**Bombay High Court Seeks Response from Maharashtra Police in Assault Case of YouTuber-Journalist**

*Mumbai:* The Bombay High Court on Wednesday sought a response from the Maharashtra police while hearing a petition filed by a YouTuber-journalist who was allegedly assaulted in July this year and has since been receiving threats.

The court noted the rising incidents of harassment against journalists in recent times. A bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad remarked, “This is happening. We have this understanding that they are doing it with the journalists. Whoever reports something against them, they try to harass.”

**Details of Assault and Petition**

The petition was filed by Sneha Barve, who alleged that she was assaulted with an iron rod on July 4, 2025, while reporting on an alleged illegal construction in Pune. She had initially sought police protection but, after not receiving any response, approached the High Court.

During the hearing on Tuesday, the court asked Barve’s counsel, Mihir Desai, whether she was willing to pay for police protection. On Wednesday, Desai informed the bench that she was ready to bear the charges as per the state government’s policy.

He further explained that Barve sustained serious injuries in the July attack and has been receiving threats since. Despite writing three letters to the Superintendent of Police seeking protection, no decision has been taken, Desai added.

**Evidence and Court Observations**

When questioned by the court, Desai emphasized that there is video evidence showing Barve being assaulted with an iron rod during her investigation of the illegal construction site.

However, the court observed that the petition was not drafted properly and lacked submitted evidence. It noted that affidavits from witnesses to the threats should have been attached to the petition.

The court has asked the state to file its response to the petition and adjourned the hearing to September 29.

Americans Reject Trump/Sinclair/Nextar’s Censorship

Posted on by

Censorship ought to be the most reviled form of control over self-expression in a country like the United States. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free expression and should not be subject to what a president or a media conglomerate deems acceptable speech. Such control is both vile and un-American.

Last night, a popular late-night show returned to the air—well, at least in many regions across the United States. However, ABC affiliate stations owned by Sinclair and Nexstar Media Group refused to air the show. Additionally, President Trump has publicly criticized the late-night comedian’s return.

Despite this opposition, ABC’s parent company, Disney—which faced considerable criticism last week for pulling Jimmy Kimmel from the air—has posted Kimmel’s returning opening monologue online for everyone to watch.

Here’s what you need to know and how you can watch Kimmel’s opening monologue in full.

SYDNEY, Australia — Embattled Australian telco giant Optus was hit with a $66-million fine on Wednesday over “appalling” sales conduct as the firm grapples with fallout from a network outage linked to several deaths.

A federal court ruled the company — one of Australia’s top telecoms providers — should be punished for selling products to vulnerable customers in a manner deemed unacceptable.
