Jaylen Brown Admits Personal Struggle Before Sending Clear Message to Celtics Locker Room
However, there’s also another piece to the puzzle. To set themselves apart, the Celtics need to be organized. Tonight, none of that happened. The Knicks outscored them 15-2 in fastbreak points. And they took over the game in the second after, after initially trailing 30-22. That happened because the Celtics are still learning. They have many new faces on the team. Aside from Brown, players like Derrick White and Pritchard also need to help out to build chemistry with the team. While it will take some time, Brown urged the players to operate with intention. Jaylen Brown asks his teammates to have urgency Everything about the Celtics from last season has turned upside down. Only two of their starters remain – Brown and White. The rest of the guys around them have different roles from last season. Sixth Man Pritchard has to dial up his offense, and White may have to contribute as a playmaker. It takes time for such elaborate changes to take effect. Jaylen Brown, as the cornerstone, understands the importance of staying patient. But he also wants the team to push themselves and discover their roles. “It’s both, I think patience and urgency. I think this is a good test for us to kind of see where we’re at… We just got to figure out how to put 48 minutes together. Um, so it’s urgency for sure, but it’s also a patience with this group. You know, it’s a lot of new guys on our team um that are, you know, figuring out how to be consistent, what our role is every single night,” Brown said about the adaptation process. It’s a good thing that the Celtics have faced two tough opponents in their opening encounters. They have competed, losing both games by fine margins. Moreover, with each game, they can recognize just where the team needs to improve. Right now, spacing and attacking the glass are priorities. Also, time will help Jaylen Brown unlock the mindset of being the mainstay on this team. The urgency comes from the culture within the Celtics. They have lost a lot, but are still eyeing a championship. That comes with being the Celtics. With 18 banners hanging above them, Mazzulla doesn’t want the franchise to shift its intentions under any circumstances. It’s clear from Brown’s words that the players agree with their head coach. How do you think the Celtics have looked over their first two games? Let us know your views in the comments below.

Railway Protection Force steps up video surveillance on general coaches
Amid rising concerns over crimes on board trains, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) has intensified surveillance and measures to manage overcrowding. The police have begun recording videos of passengers on general coaches as a step to prevent crimes and identify suspects if any offences are reported. The RPF have been recording videos from general coaches for about a month following an order from higher-ups in the Southern Railway, an official said. “The primary objective of the move is to deter people who board trains with criminal intentions from committing offences. It is expected that such individuals will abandon their malicious plans once they become aware that they are being watched. The number of offences has come down since we put in place this surveillance measure. Video surveillance also prompts passengers to be more alert to potential dangers,” the official added. The videos also help identify history-sheeters and usual suspects, as the footage is shared in WhatsApp groups of officials and squad members. The videos, mostly shot on tablets and mobile phones, are retained for a few days. “Crimes on board a train are usually reported within two to three days, so there is no need to keep the footage for a longer period,” the official said. The RPF initially recorded videos of passengers in general coaches on a random basis, but after finding the practice effective in preventing crimes, it was expanded and intensified across the Southern Railway. Along with this, RPF squads have also been advising passengers in both general coaches and reserved compartments to keep their valuables secure. The RPF has also taken preventive measures, such as restricting the issuance of platform tickets at crowded stations and instructing ticket examiners not to issue extra-fare tickets to passengers boarding reserved compartments without valid tickets during peak hours. In August, the Southern Railway awarded a contract to Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) to install a video surveillance system worth ₹90.64 crore at 484 stations to enhance passenger safety. The surveillance system includes IP-based CCTV cameras with networking, video monitoring systems, and video recording facilities.

Centre announces Rashtriya Vigyan Puraskar for scientific achievements
The Centre announced the Rashtriya Vigyan Puraskar (RVP) — its Padma-style national awards for scientific achievement — with 24 individual awards and one team award, on Saturday (October 25, 2025). Eminent physicist Jayant Vishnu Narlikar, who passed in May this year, was announced the recipient of the Vigyan Ratna, an award for lifetime contribution. This year, eight scientists were selected for the Vigyan Shri awards: Gyanendra Pratap Singh, Yusuf Mohammed Shaikh, K. Thangaraj, Pradeep Thapalil, Aniruddha Balchandra Pandit, Venkata Mohan, Mahan Mj and Jayan N. Recipients for the Vigyan Yuva awards: Jagadis Gupta Kapuganti, Satendra Kumar Mangrauthia, Debarka Sengupta, Deepa Agashe, Dibyendu Das, Waliur Rahman, Arkaprava Basu, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Shweta Prem Agrawal, Suresh Kumar, Amit Kumar Agrawal, Surhud Shrikant More, Ankur Garg and Mohansankar Sivaprakasam. The Vigyan Team award went to the CSIR Aroma Mission. Last August, ahead of National Space Day 2024, the inaugural RVP ceremony was held at Rashtrapati Bhavan, with President Droupadi Murmu presenting the awards to 33 scientists. This year, the announcement had been delayed for nearly two months. Last year, there were allegations that the award selection process was not fair and speculation that those scientists, critical of government policies, had been ousted at the last minute. An independent committee — the Rashtriya Vigyan Puraskar Committee, steered by the Principal Scientific Adviser — decides on award recipients and makes a recommendation to the Minister of Science and Technology. It is unclear if the Minister has a veto on the committee’s recommendation. The Vigyan Ratna aims to recognise lifetime achievements and contributions made in any field of science and technology. Vigyan Shri is awarded for distinguished contributions in any field of science and technology. Vigyan Yuva award is for young scientists under the age of 45 years to recognise exceptional contributions in any field of science and technology. Vigyan Team award will be given every year to a team, comprising three or more scientists, researchers or innovators.

Take part in ‘Bodh Gaya liberation movement’ in Delhi in large numbers: Monk
Bhante Vinachayra , a monk who leads the Mahabodhi Mahavihara Mukti Andolan, has appealed to the people of the State to participate in large numbers in ‘Bodh Gaya liberation movement’ to be held in Delhi on February 12, 2026, demanding that the government repeal the BT Act 1949 and hand over the Mahabodhi temple to Buddhist management. He was addressing a gathering at Dhamma-Dhwaj Panchasheel Dhamma Yatra conference here on Saturday. Bhante Vinacharya said that the fight for Mahabodhi was the fight for liberation and justice. It was the fight against brahmanism whose fundamental principles of inequality and discrimination directly posed a threat to the peaceful and equal societies that Buddhism tried to cultivate. Claiming that after Christianity and Islam, Buddhism was the world’s third largest religion, the monk said that unfortunately the Bodhi temple — one of Buddhism’s holiest sites — was managed by a committee that included members from Buddhist and Hindu faiths. Highlighting the uniqueness of the Bodh Gaya, Bhante Vinacharya said that the famous religious structures were solely identified either with the birth or death of saints or holy figures, whereas the Bodh Gaya was the sacred place where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment after meditating for six years continuously under the Bodhi tree. Recalling the traces of the Bodhi temple liberation movement, the monk said that the fight to “liberate Bodh Gaya from other faiths” campaign was led by Anagarika Dhammapala, a Sri Lankan Buddhist, in 1891. Later Devapriya Valisinha led the Bodhi temple liberation campaign under the aegis of Mahabodhi Society. During this period, he claimed that the Buddhist population was very negligible in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, while they were small but significant in States such as Karnataka, Odisha and West Bengal. He also lauded the contributions made by the Buddhists from Karnataka during the movement at its initial stage. He said Mahabodhi was the continuous thread in the history of Buddhism not only in India but throughout the Buddhist world. Mauryan emperor Ashoka adopted Buddhism in 263 BCE after the Kalinga war and Babasaheb Ambedkar embraced Buddhism in a ceremony called Dhamma Deeksha at Nagpur on October 14, 1956. Bhante Vinacharya appealed to Buddhists and followers of Ambedkar to join the Bodhi temple liberation movement in Delhi on February 12, 2026. “We need to foster solidarity among Buddhists throughout India for this cause,” he said. Bhante Payyananda from Latur, Maharashtra, Bhante Amarjyothi from Belamagi Buddha Vihar, Bhante Vara Jyothi from Anadur Buddha Vihar, Bhante Yash from Solapur, Bhante Dhamma Deepa and Bhante Sangharakshith from Bidar were present.

Image makeover: Dress neat and exude discipline, Karnataka police chief tells personnel in 18-point directive
To improve the image of the police department, the Karnataka police chief has instructed personnel “to maintain a neat appearance and proper uniform standards”. This is among the 18-point direction given by him to the rank and file. In a circular issued earlier this week, Director-General and Inspector-General of Police M.A. Saleem said that “a well-dressed officer commands respect in society and reflects discipline and professionalism”, urging ranks and file to take pride in their appearance. In the 18-point circular, Mr. Saleem emphasised on “creating a better perception and showcasing transparency, accountability and courteousness while on duty.” Not force, but service Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Saleem, said, “Police should not be seen as a ‘force’ but as a ‘service’. Every officer part of the service should have discipline, be courteous and transparent while performing his duty,” he said, while adding that the directions are also for the personnel who perform their duties in mufti (plainclothes). “Police personnel should behave courteously with the people visiting station irrespective of their status and redress their issue without delay. The police should have high moral standards even off duty, “ Mr. Saleem said. Treating women The circular, among other things, stated that women and children visiting stations should be treated with respect and care, and in case of inquiries, officials should refrain from summoning women to the station but should conduct inquiry at their residence in the presence of a woman police officer. The accused women should not be kept in the station at any cost beyond 6 p.m., and in case of arrest, she should be handed over to the state home for women. The State police head also reminded the police personnel to wear body cameras for transparency and accountability. Addressing the issue of police often turning away public saying that the complaint lies beyond their jurisdiction, the circular said that in such cases, a zero FIR should be filed at the station before being referred to the one concerned.
