WITH just a day left before UP Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh hangs up his boots, all eyes are now on the Centre's decision regarding the state government's request for extension of his tenure by a year.

A video clip purportedly showing IAS officer Rinku Singh Rahi doing sit-ups while holding his ears amid a protest by lawyers in Shahjahanpur went viral on social media on Tuesday. It sparked not only a buzz in administrative circles but also culminated in his removal from the post of SDM and his being attached to the Revenue Board in Lucknow late Wednesday evening.

The incident took place after the 2022-batch IAS officer, who was transferred to Punwayan tehsil in Shahjahanpur as SDM on July 24 from Mathura, had spotted a lawyer's clerk urinating in the open. Offended by the act, the officer allegedly reprimanded the clerk and made him do sit-ups, triggering a backlash from the lawyers who gathered in protest and allegedly forced Rahi to do the same.

Parties' love for Vijay: Genuine or strategy?

THE recent comments of former Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, who is leading the AIADMK Cadres Rights Retrieval Committee, DMDK treasurer Premalatha Vijayakant, and AMMK general secretary T T V Dhinakaran about the possibility of Vijay creating an impact in the 2026 poll have triggered speculation about whether it's genuine outreach by these parties to the TVK headed by the actor or if they are just trying to increase their bargaining power for more seats with the DMK or AIADMK blocs for the Assembly election due in eight months.
