We are distributing flyers to the populace informing them that there is no alternative. We made an effort to voice our concerns and speak in parliament. However, the government didn't offer us any chance. For the first time in this nation's history, 146 MPs were suspended.

PORTLAND, Jan 6: Not long after takeoff, a window and a portion of the fuselage of an Alaska Airlines aircraft blew out in midair, forcing an emergency landing in Oregon on Friday. A photo of a massive hole in the airplane's side next to the passenger seats was sent to KATU-TV by a traveller. It was unclear right away if anyone had been hurt. According to the airline, the aircraft, carrying 174 passengers and 6 crew members, landed safely. The airline said via email that "Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 from Portland, Oregon to Ontario, California experienced an incident this evening shortly after departure." The airline promised to provide more details as soon as they were made available.Flight tracking data indicates that the plane was diverted approximately six minutes after takeoff at 5:07 p.m. after reaching a height of 16,000 feet (4,876 metres). At 5:26 p.m., it landed once more. The crew reported a pressurisation problem, and the plane landed safely, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The organisation promised to look into it. In a post on X, the National Transportation Safety Board stated that it was looking into an incident that occurred during the flight and would provide updates as soon as they became available. Online FAA records show that the Boeing 737-9 MAX was certified and flown off the assembly line just two months ago. Boeing said it was aware of the incident, was attempting to obtain additional details, and was prepared to assist with the investigation.Boeing's venerable 737, a twin-engine, single-aisle aircraft that is widely utilised on domestic flights in the United States, has a new model called the Max. The aircraft was put into operation in May 2017. All Max 8 and Max 9 aircraft were grounded globally for almost two years after two crashes in 2018 and 2019 claimed 346 lives. Only after Boeing modified an automated flight control system linked to the crashes did the aircraft go back into service.

editor January 6, 2024Leave a comment

NEW DELHI: The crew members of the Indian-owned vessel MV Lili Norfolk expressed their gratitude to the Indian Navy for saving them. Off the coast of Somalia, the Indian Navy successfully evacuated the hijacked ship MV Lila Norfolk on Friday. The crew members are seen thanking the Indian Navy and chanting "Bharat Mata ki Jai" in a video that the Navy posted. "We were stuck for 24 hours," stated an Indian who was saved by the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy arrived to save them, so we were relieved." "Proud of the Indian Navy," remarked a second man. On January 6, 2024, the Indian Navy's marine commandos freed 21 crew members—including 15 Indians—from the hijacked MV Lila Norfolk, which was flying the Liberian flag.After armed pirates attempted to take over the ship, the crew members were saved in a quick operation in the North Arabian Sea. The Indian Navy said, "Indian Navy's Swift Response to the Hijacking Attempt of MV Lila Norfolk in the North Arabian Sea," in a statement published on X on Friday. The 21 crew members—including the 15 Indians—safely left the citadel. The hijackers' absence has been confirmed by MARCOs' sanitation efforts." The statement stated that the pirates' attempt at hijacking was likely abandoned after receiving a strong warning from the Indian Navy, MPA, about possible interception by Indian Naval warships. INS Chennai is close to the MV and is providing assistance to restart the power generation and propulsion so that the vessel can start her journey to the next port of call.

Cold wave-like conditions in Kashmir; thin sheet of ice over Dal Lake

editor January 6, 2024Leave a comment

SRINAGAR: As a cold wave-like weather pattern descended upon the region on Saturday, officials reported that a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of Dal Lake here and other bodies of water in Kashmir. On Friday night, the minimum temperature in a few areas of the valley fell below minus four degrees Celsius. The 40-day severe winter "Chilla-i-Kalan" that is currently affecting Kashmir causes temperatures to plummet, causing pipes and bodies of water to freeze. During this time, there is a greater chance of snowfall, and most places—especially the higher reaches—get a lot of snowfall. According to officials, the minimum temperature in Srinagar city on Friday night was minus 5.4 degrees Celsius, which was a decrease from the previous night's reading of minus 3 degrees Celsius. It was reported that on Friday night, the minimum temperature at the ski resort of Gulmarg in north Kashmir was 4.5 degrees Celsius, slightly lower than the minimum recorded the night before in Qazigund, which recorded a low of minus 4.6 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature of minus 6.3 degrees Celsius was recorded in Pahalgam, in the Anantnag district of south Kashmir, which is one of the base camps for the yearly Amarnath Yatra. This is a decrease from the previous night's minus 4.5 degrees Celsius, according to reports. In Kokernag town, the lowest recorded temperature was -2.9 degrees Celsius, while in Kupwara, it was -5.4 degrees Celsius. It was difficult for the occupants of the houseboats at Dal Lake to break through the layer of ice covering the lake to get to the banks. In the Kashmir valley, pipes' water also froze in some areas. Due to the protracted dry spell that Kashmir has been experiencing, there was a 79% rainfall deficit in December. The majority of Kashmir's plains have not seen any snowfall, while the upper valley has seen less snowfall than normal. Up until January 12, the meteorological department has mostly predicted dry weather. The last day of "Chilla-i-Kalan" is January 31. After that, though, there will be two more rounds of cold: a 10-day "Chilla-i-Bachha" (baby cold) and a 20-day "Chilla-i-Khurd" (small cold).
