However, the director revealed that convincing Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan to let Malaika be a part of the track wasn't easy. What's Happening Speaking to SCREEN , Abhinav Kashyap said that both Salman and Arbaaz initially had reservations about Malaika doing the number. According to him, Arbaaz wasn't comfortable with his then-wife being labelled an "item girl," while Salman raised objections over Malaika's outfits in the song. "Arbaaz and Salman, no matter whatever they say, are actually very conservative Muslims. Malaika also had her own differences with Salman over her outfits. They want their women covered up. So, they didn't want her to do the item song," the director shared. Abhi...

The weather office has issued a red and orange alert for parts of Assam and an orange and yellow alert for the rest of the northeast.

In Assam, five people were killed in landslides in the last 24 hours following incessant rain that led to floods in six districts, affecting over 10,000 people. 

The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) said all five deaths have been reported from the Kamrup Metropolitan district.

9 Killed In Arunachal Pradesh

In a devastating incident last night, seven people lost their lives after a landslide swept a Brezza car into a deep gorge along the NH-13 stretch between Bana and Seppa in Arunachal Pradesh. 

The vehicle was carrying two families. Family members present at the accident site confirmed the identities of the victims. Meanwhile, a Sumo vehicle was also caught at the edge of the landslide-affected road, but fortunately, no casualties were reported.

Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister, Mama Natung, who also represents the area, expressed his grief through a Facebook post:

"It's very painful to hear about the tragic loss of seven lives in my Assembly constituency due to a landslide on NH-13 between Bana and Seppa. My heartfelt condolences go out to the bereaved families during this difficult time. I urge everyone to remain vigilant and to avoid night travel during the monsoon season. My thoughts and prayers are with the affected families. May the departed souls rest in peace. Om Shanti Shanti."

Authorities are ensuring safety along the highway as the monsoon season progresses.

A major landslide struck the Cabbage Garden area and a nearby restaurant near Pine Grove in Ziro late last night, claiming the lives of two individuals - a man and a woman.

The victims, both from Lakhimpur, Assam, were working at the restaurant when the landslide occurred following hours of relentless rainfall.

According to DySP Ojing Lego, their bodies were recovered and handed over to their families.

Search and rescue operations were promptly carried out by the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), and residents.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...

US In Touch With China Over 'Spy Balloon', Says Pentagon Official

The United States has communicated with Beijing on the alleged Chinese surveillance balloon shot down on February 4, after Pentagon overtures were rebuffed for days, a defence official said Sunday. "There have been contacts made with the PRC on the high altitude balloon," Assistant Secretary of Defense Melissa Dalton told reporters, referring to the People's Republic of China. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asked to speak with Chinese counterparts shortly after an Air Force fighter shot down the Chinese balloon off the US east coast after it had traversed the entire country for days. But he got no response, even though the incident prompted Secretary of State Antony Blinken to cancel a long-planned diplomatic mission to Beijing. China said Thursday it refused the offer of a call with the US defence chief because of Washington's "irresponsible" decision to shoot down the balloon. "This irresponsible and seriously mistaken approach by the US did n...
