Locals are already calling it a lifesaver for pilgrims, because the ride trims what used to be a bone-shaking slog into an easy, air-conditioned glide. The scheduled time savings alone-pushing off in the cool morning and sliding into Katra before lunch-&mdash;feels almost indulgent.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The people of <a title="35 Years Since the Kashmiri Hindu Genocide: Lalit Ambardar reflects on what happened in the valley on Jan 19, 1990, and how far justice has come" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/years-since-kashmiri-hindu-genocide-lalit-ambardar-reflects-what-happened-valley-january-1990-how-far-justice-come">Kashmir</a> have experienced a semi-high-speed Vande Bharat streak through their valley before, so yesterday&rsquo;s launch already feels historic in ways statistics can&rsquo;t capture. One single dash beneath the mountains now replaces half a day spent winding up narrow roads, and the difference in comfort is plain even to die-hard bus fans. For thousands chasing blessings at the temple's doorstep, that extra hour or two suddenly opens up space for another cup of chai and at least a little more quiet reflection.</p>

<p>Mrs. Rajni Bector, Punjab's first woman to get Padma Shri and founder of Mrs Bector&rsquo;s Food Specialities, in episode 2 of <a title="ScoopOut with Khyati" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/home-hobby-padma-shri-how-ludhianas-mrs-bector-turned-her-backyard-ice-cream-unit-7000-empire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ScoopOut with Khyati</a>, narrated an untold chapter of Indian banking history. Mrs Bector, who is the brain behind Cremica, revealed an untold story about her brother R.K. Talwar, former Chairman of the State Bank of India. Mrs. Bector detailed how his brother R.K. Talwar chose to resign rather than bend to the political will of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Below is what Mrs Bector revealed-&nbsp;</p>
<p>Emphasizing the ingrained honesty within her family in the podcast, Mrs. Bector detailed how he chose to resign rather than bend to the political will of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.</p>
<p>"My father was a riser because of his honesty. Then my brother was the chairman of the State Bank of India. He left his job when 8 years were still remaining. He left his job because Indira Gandhi wanted undue things to be done that he refused to do. He said Give it in writing, then I will do it; otherwise, I will not do it. After 2 days, he was going to become the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. Then Morarji Desai came and he brought him back, saying I will not do such things. You come back."</p>
<p>"He became the IDBI Chairman, and he was declared the <strong>best banker in the world</strong>. When Morarji Desai died, Indira Gandhi came back to power. He handed his resignation over to her. I was awarded State Bank of India a few years back in Mumbai. Nobody knew about my ancestors. When I was giving my speech, I said I am the sister of Mr RK Talwar. I got a standing ovation from thousands of people. The Chairman and everyone told me how you never told us. We were not aware that you were his sister. Even last year, Nirmala Sitharaman talked about him in the Parliament. &nbsp;Because honesty is really in our blood, even in my children."</p>
<p>For the unversed, RK Talwar was the chairman of the State Bank of India, and he stepped down from his post during the Indira Gandhi government's rule. It happened in the emergency in 1976, when he refused to grant loans to people favoured by the government.</p>

Recalling a pivotal moment in Indian banking history, Mrs Bector revealed how his brother, RK Talwar, resigned during the Emergency in 1976 after refusing to comply with political pressure.

<p>Social media has been on a buzz for the past few days ever since it has been reported that the Reserve Bank of India has given a deadline of September 30, 2025 to the banks and has asked them to ensure that 75 percent of all ATMs must dispense Rs 100 and Rs 200 notes from at least one cassette by then. Following the RBI's direction, multiple users on YouTube started writing posts and making videos that the RBI has planned to phase out Rs 500 currency notes, just like it did with <a title="Rs 2000 currency notes" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/rbi-brings-huge-update-inr-000-notes-here-what" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rs 2000 currency notes</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In fact, a Chartered Accountant (CA) also claimed via X (formerly Twitter) that the RBI has instructed all banks to stop dispensing Rs 500 banknotes from ATMs by September 30. The goal is to reduce the circulation of Rs 500 banknotes from all bank ATMs by 75% initially, and then by 90% by March 31, 2026. Not only this, but Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu also urged the Centre to withdraw Rs 500 currency notes in a bid to clamp down on corruption.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Truth behind RBI withdrawing Rs 500 notes from September 2025</h2>
<p>Centre's Press Information Bureau's Fact Check unit debunked the viral claim, stating that the RBI is not withdrawing Rs 500 currency notes. PIB shared a video on X and wrote, "Is the ₹500 note set to be phased out by 2026? A #YouTube video on the YT Channel 'CAPITAL TV' (capitaltvind) falsely claims that the RBI will discontinue the circulation of ₹500 notes by March 2026.&nbsp;#PIBFactCheck&nbsp;@RBI has made NO such announcement.&nbsp;₹500 notes have NOT been discontinued and remain legal tender. Don&rsquo;t fall for such misinformation. Always verify news from official sources before believing or sharing it!."</p>

Apple, during WWDC 2025, made multiple key and lucrative announcements. From new updates for Apple Intelligence, a set of capabilities for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe that will work on devices and in the cloud to Siri, ChatGPT, and auto-summarisation in Mail and Safari are all examples of how Apple is determined to pace its AI game and bring in some meaningful updates to its ecosystem. Keeping a plethora of announcements aside, phone lovers are now querying about the iPhone 17 launch date and, iPhone 17 price. Continue reading to know all about iPhone 17-&nbsp;</p>
<h2>iPhone 17 launch date</h2>
<p>Apple generally launches its flagship phone every year in the month of September 2025. As per reports, Apple is expected to follow the trend. Reports further suggest that the iPhone 17 series could be announced between September 11 and 13.</p>
<p>Reports have claimed that this time the company will provide fast wireless charging, which will charge the battery in less time.&nbsp;Apple can update the MagSafe charger, with the help of which users will get fast charging feature. This can be a 50W fast charger, this charging capacity is about three times the current MagSafe charging capacity.</p>
<p>The power banks coming under MagSafe charging technology stick to the back panel of the handset, in which magnetic field is used. Once the power banks are connected to the headset, the phone starts charging. Charging takes some time now, but the time taken during 50W wireless charging can be reduced.</p>
<p>Reports further suggest that iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to bring a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR, display with Ambient light sensor and Proximity sensor. It is likely to come with triple camera set up- 48MP main camera, 12MP Telephoto camera and 48MP Ultrawide camera. On the front, you get a 12MP camera. The phone will support wireless charging.</p>
<p>Apple hasn't officially announced the iPhone 17 Pro Max yet, but their WWDC hints make it pretty clear that this phone will cost a lot.
