  • Delhi Schools in Crisis: Ongoing Bomb Threats and Police Challenges

    Delhi Schools in Crisis: Ongoing Bomb Threats and Police Challenges

    Over the past nine days, more than 100 schools in Delhi have received bomb threats, causing a lot of panic. Police officials say the problem is that people are using tools like VPNs and proxy servers to hide their real identities, making it hard to catch them. Since May, around 50 threat emails have not just targeted schools, but also hospitals, airports, and airlines in Delhi. Despite their efforts, the police have not arrested anyone yet.

    Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has expressed his worries about the situation and has asked why the police haven’t caught the person responsible. Police have reached out to companies like Google and Outlook.com for help in tracking down the email senders. They’ve found some clues, but the actual locations are still unknown. The emails are being sent through VPNs, which can hide a user’s real IP address by bouncing it through multiple servers overseas.

    Police have assigned a special team to investigate these threats seriously. They’ve conducted checks at schools after receiving the bomb threat emails. So far, they haven’t found anything dangerous, but they are taking every threat seriously and following all safety rules. Since the first threats were reported in May, some government places, like Tihar Jail, also received bomb threats.

    A cyber law expert, Dr. Pavan Duggal, explains that India doesn’t have strong laws to control VPN usage. This makes it tough for police to get information from VPN providers that are based in other countries. Even though India’s Information Technology Act allows for some action against foreign VPNs, police are struggling to enforce it.

    Researchers warn that many secure email services, like ProtonMail, make it even harder for police to trace threatening emails. These services don’t keep track of users’ IP addresses, making it nearly impossible to identify who sent the threats. Additionally, using VPNs and tools like Tor adds even more layers of secrecy.

    Experts agree that to fight against these cybercriminals, the police need better tools and more cooperation with global cybersecurity organizations. They stress that solving these cases requires a mix of advanced technology and teamwork across borders.

  • Pradhan Slams Congress Over Treatment of Ambedkar: A Political Showdown

    Pradhan Slams Congress Over Treatment of Ambedkar: A Political Showdown

    In New Delhi, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan criticized the Congress party for allegedly not respecting Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. He said that Congress has always had a negative attitude towards Ambedkar, even mentioning that in a 2012 textbook, there was an unfair cartoon showing Pandit Nehru “whipping” Ambedkar.

    Pradhan claimed that the Congress party is now pretending to care about Ambedkar, calling their concern “crocodile tears.” He pointed out that when the BJP opposed the cartoon, the then Education Minister, Kapil Sibal, apologized and agreed to take it out of the book.

    Pradhan suggested that such a cartoon could not have been published accidentally and that it was approved by people in charge at that time. He also added that while Prime Minister Modi honors Ambedkar, the Congress party struggles to accept it.

    A heated debate took place in Parliament regarding this issue, with opposition parties demanding action against Union Minister Amit Shah for some remarks he made about Ambedkar. Some BJP members were injured during arguments in Parliament, including Pratap Sarangi, who was allegedly pushed by Rahul Gandhi.

  • Nomura Invests in Vishal Mega Mart: A Strong Start for Shares!

    Nomura Invests in Vishal Mega Mart: A Strong Start for Shares!

    The Nomura India Investment Fund has recently bought a big chunk of shares in Vishal Mega Mart, which just went public. They spent Rs 324.96 crore, purchasing 3 crore shares at Rs 108.32 each on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Vishal Mega Mart’s shares hit the market on Wednesday, opening at a higher price than expected—33.3% more at Rs 104 on the NSE and 41% more at Rs 110 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). By the end of the day, the stock was up by 43.5% from the initial price.

    Even though the entire sale was from existing shareholders, many investors showed interest, especially big financial institutions, who bid more than 85 times the available shares. On the other hand, ordinary retail investors were a bit cautious since the sale was entirely from existing investors.

    Vishal Mega Mart aims to serve the middle and lower-middle-income groups in India, focusing on areas that lack good retail options. They offer a wide range of products at affordable prices, which helps them attract and keep customers.

    Experts believe that because the market is looking better and other factors are in play, the company’s shares could rise by 20-25% from their starting price. Prashanth Tapse, a senior research analyst at Mehta Equities, suggests that cautious investors who got shares should think about selling if prices go up by 25%. Long-term investors might want to hold onto their shares despite any ups and downs in the market. Those who didn’t get shares now could consider buying them if prices fall after the initial excitement fades.

    By around 11:20 AM, Vishal Mega Mart’s shares were down by 3.12%, trading at Rs 108.46 on the BSE.

  • Political Chaos in Parliament Over Amit Shah’s Ambedkar Remarks

    Political Chaos in Parliament Over Amit Shah’s Ambedkar Remarks

    A big disagreement in Parliament started after Amit Shah, India’s Home Minister, made comments about BR Ambedkar. This upset many people in the Opposition, and they protested by gathering at a place called ‘Makar Dwar’. In the commotion, two members of the ruling party, BJP, got hurt, and one of them, Mukesh Rajput, is now in serious condition at a hospital.

    The trouble began when Amit Shah said that Congress leaders should focus more on God instead of just saying Ambedkar’s name. He joked that if they had mentioned God as many times, they would reach heaven. This comment angered the opposition, especially since they want Shah to apologize or even resign.

    During the protest, Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the Congress party, and his sister Priyanka Gandhi joined others with signs asking for an apology from Amit Shah. Some BJP members claimed that Rahul Gandhi pushed another MP during the protest, which led to injuries. In their frustration, Congress leaders also shared videos showing their struggles to get inside Parliament.

    Ashwin Retires from International Cricket, Aims for IPL 2025!

    Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin surprised everyone by announcing his retirement from international cricket just a day after a tough Test match in Australia. The 38-year-old spinner explained that this decision felt right to him and came from his gut feeling. He arrived back home in Chennai and shared his thoughts.

    He admitted that thinking about retiring had crossed his mind for some time, but he decided to make the announcement right after the rain-affected match at Gabba that ended in a draw. Ashwin said he first felt ready to retire on the fourth day of the match when teammates showed great fight to avoid losing badly, and he waited until the match finished on the fifth day to share the news.

    When asked if it was hard to announce his retirement, he said it was not difficult for him. “It’s emotional for many people, but for me, it felt like a relief and satisfaction. I had thought about it for a while, but it came from instinct. I felt it on day 4 and made the decision on day 5,” he explained.

    Before making the announcement, there were no hints in the news. However, there was a touching moment when Virat Kohli hugged Ashwin in the dressing room right before the match ended. Ashwin then joined captain Rohit Sharma to talk to the reporters, briefly confirmed his retirement, and left without answering questions.

    But there’s good news too! Ashwin will continue playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) starting in 2025. He made it clear that he is not done with cricket and will keep playing as long as he can. “I’m going to play for CSK, and don’t be surprised if I keep trying to play for a long time. I think my time as an Indian international cricketer is over, but Ashwin the cricketer is still here,” he finished.

  • Ferry Capsizes Near Elephanta Island: 13 Lives Lost, 100+ Rescued”

    Ferry Capsizes Near Elephanta Island: 13 Lives Lost, 100+ Rescued”

    A fun trip to Elephanta Island turned into a disaster on Wednesday when a ferry called Neelkamal flipped over. It was struck by a fast naval speedboat near Butcher Island. This boat was testing a new engine when it accidentally went out of control, according to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

    The crash happened at 3:15 PM, and chaos followed. Families and children were thrown into the sea as the ferry capsized. A viral video showed the naval boat spinning out of control before crashing into Neelkamal.

    Brave Rescuers Save Lives

    Nearby was a CISF patrol boat named Shera 1. When they got the emergency call, Constables Amol, Vikas, and Arun rushed to help. They arrived just ten minutes later, but by then, the ferry was already underwater.

    Sawant, one of the rescuers, said, “We found nine or ten children. The first one we saved was just three years old. Our main job was to help all the kids.” Although their boat could only hold a few people, they managed to rescue 30 passengers and took them to a nearby port. Many were unconscious, and they provided CPR before transferring them.

    The rescue operation quickly grew bigger. Four naval helicopters, eleven Navy boats, a Coast Guard ship, and three Marine Police boats joined in the effort. Survivors were taken to nearby docks and hospitals. There were six people on the naval speedboat, including two Navy members and four company representatives.

    By 7:30 PM, 101 passengers had been rescued, but sadly, 13 people lost their lives, including two children and a Navy member.

    Government Promises Support

    Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that families of those who died would receive ₹5 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. There would also be an investigation by state police and Navy officials to see what caused the accident. Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised ₹2 lakh to help the victims’ families.

    A passenger named Ganesh recalled, “The naval boat was spinning in the ocean. I thought it might hit us, and it did in seconds.” Another eyewitness saw people falling into the water and nearby boats coming to help. “People were screaming, and kids were crying,” Sawant said.

    The naval speedboat was testing its new engine, which reportedly got stuck, making it impossible for the driver to control it. Neelkamal was a well-known ferry for tourists visiting Elephanta Island, famous for its ancient caves. As officials investigate, everyone is questioning how this accident could happen near civilian boats. This rescue operation showed how important it is for agencies to work together quickly to save lives.
