How safe is the food on your plate?
From street-food stalls and restaurants to five-star hotels and quick-commerce warehouses, food-safety violations can appear across the entire food chain. India has rules and a regulator, but gaps in inspections, manpower, testing and enforcement continue to leave consumers exposed.
Outlook’s latest issue, One Tukaram Is Not Enough, looks at why unsafe food continues to reach our plates—and whether stronger enforcement can fix a system stretched across millions of food businesses.

Rahul Gandhi is no longer where he was a few years ago. The ridicule and criticism have not disappeared, but he has moved closer to the centre of Opposition politics.
He has been more vocal on issues such as jobs, elections and the concerns of young Indians, while trying to step out of the shadow of the Gandhi surname. But political attention is one thing. Turning it into a stronger Congress on the ground — and more votes — is another.

Virat Kohli’s spokesperson has rejected as “completely false, baseless and factually incorrect” a claim linking ₹5 crore to the cricketer’s visit to Premanand Maharaj’s ashram in Vrindavan.
The allegation was made by Dinesh Sharma, popularly known as Falahari Maharaj, who claimed that ₹5 crore was spent to facilitate Kohli’s visit to the ashram. Kohli’s team said his visits were driven purely by his faith and reverence for Premanand Maharaj.
There is no publicly available evidence establishing that Kohli was paid ₹5 crore for the visit.

A complaint over an alleged dead rat found in a dosa at a Mumbai eatery has taken an unexpected turn. Police have booked two women for allegedly trying to extort ₹25 lakh from the restaurant owner after the incident went viral.
According to the hotel owner’s complaint, the women allegedly threatened to circulate the video further and pursue a police case unless they were paid. The demand was reportedly negotiated down to ₹7 lakh. The owner allegedly paid ₹1 lakh before approaching the police, who later set up a trap when the remaining amount was to be collected.
Police are investigating the case and the roles of those involved.

Dharavi is more than just a slum. Home to nearly 1.2 million people, it has an economy estimated at $1 billion to $1.5 billion a year, powered by thousands of small businesses, leather, pottery and recycling. Now, with the Dharavi redevelopment being carried out by Adani Navbharat Developers, part of the Adani Group, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has unveiled an Experience Centre showing what the new Dharavi could look like.

A 20-year-old corruption allegation linked to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has returned to focus after the Kerala government ordered fresh scrutiny of an earlier Vigilance inquiry.
The case dates back to 2006, when Kumar was serving as Kerala’s PWD secretary, and relates to allegations reportedly contained in a note linked to Malaysian engineer Lee See Been. The earlier inquiry did not establish criminal guilt against Kumar, and officials are now reviewing old records to determine whether a fresh investigation can legally proceed.

A thick plume of black smoke was seen rising near Russia’s Port of Sochi after reports of an explosion and fire in the area. The cause has not been confirmed, though local reports said a vessel at the port may have been involved.
The incident comes after a Ukrainian naval drone strike on the port on September 3 and fires near Sochi’s airport in the days that followed.
It also adds to concerns over shipping in the western Black Sea, where several Turkish-owned vessels have recently been hit in drone-related incidents near Romania and Bulgaria.
