The bulletin focuses on the controversy around the teaser of Yash’s upcoming film Toxic and the status of censor clearance. The key point cited from CBFC sources is: 'they have not yet certified any content from Yash's film Toxic' because 'The teaser was released only digitally which does not require certification from the censor board.' The report says the film, trailer, or other promotional assets are yet to be submitted for certification. It also states that the Aam Aadmi Party women’s wing in Karnataka has filed a complaint with the Karnataka state women’s commission, alleging objectionable scenes, including an intimate moment and violence, and seeking warnings or review on social media platforms.

The political landscape in Tamil Nadu is shifting ahead of the 2026 elections, with actor-politician Vijay and his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), at the center of new developments. A political row has emerged over the delayed censor certification for Vijay's film 'Jananayakan', with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi supporting Vijay and calling the move an 'attack on Tamil culture'. This occurs as Vijay returned from Delhi after a seven-hour CBI questioning regarding the Karur stampede that claimed 41 lives. Meanwhile, alliance talks are evolving, as AIADMK's Edappadi K. Palaniswami hints at new parties joining the NDA. Concurrently, the Congress party's demand for power-sharing within the DMK-led alliance has been rejected by senior DMK leaders, who affirmed Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's stance against a coalition government.

In this news bulletin, an unidentified speaker reports on a significant policy shift for e-commerce and food delivery platforms in India. Following the intervention of Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, major brands including Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy, and Zomato have reportedly agreed to remove the '10-minute delivery' promise from their advertisements and social media platforms. The speaker notes, 'Blinkit will now remove the 10-minute delivery promise from all its brands.' This move comes after sustained pressure from gig workers and associations who highlighted serious safety risks and financial penalties associated with ultra-fast delivery timelines. The report details how the removal of these strict time limits is expected to reduce road accidents and alleviate the immense pressure on delivery partners. While the companies have assured the government of these changes, the programme raises questions about the future impact on consumers who have become accustomed to rapid delivery services.
