The Stray Dog Menace in India| India Vs World: A Crisis Needing Urgency

The Dog Menace Crisis in India has reached alarming levels, with over 2 million dog bite cases and dozens of rabies-related deaths reported annually. The Dog Menace Crisis is not limited to urban slums but affects rural and semi-urban regions alike. The Kerala government has permitted local bodies to conduct euthanasia of diseased stray dogs under the provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Animal Husbandry Practices and Procedures) Rules, 2023. From policy failures to poor waste management, a systemic overhaul is needed to tackle this growing public health emergency. #DogMenaceCrisis #StrayDogIndia #RabiesAwareness #PublicHealthEmergency #ProtectOurChildren #DogMenace ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~PR.282~

India BLASTS 'Twisted' U.S Report On Air India Crash, Denies Pilot Fuel Cut Claim As ‘Baseless….’

Fresh controversy has erupted over the fatal Air India crash in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad last month. A Wall Street Journal report claims a cockpit recording reveals the captain cut off the aircraft’s fuel midair, moments after takeoff. The first officer, reportedly panicked, questioned the captain’s move, as per the leaked cockpit transcript. Both pilots, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, were killed along with 240 others onboard and 19 on the ground—only one person survived. While the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's (AIIB) preliminary report confirms both fuel switches were turned off within a second, it doesn’t state whether the action was accidental or deliberate. India’s Civil Aviation Minister urged restraint, saying no conclusions should be drawn yet. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has strongly condemned the US media report, calling it speculative and harmful. Meanwhile, Air India completed checks on the Fuel Control Switches in all Boeing 787s with no issues found. #AirIndiaCrash #PilotControversy #FuelCutAllegation #787Dreamliner #AviationProbe #FlightBlackBox #AirIndiaNews #WallStreetJournal #Boeing787 #IndianAviation #AhmedabadCrash #PilotLastWords #CivilAviationIndia #CrashInvestigation #PlaneCrashUpdate #CockpitRecording #FlightDisaster #AviationSafety #DGCAIndia #PilotBodyCondemnsReport ~ED.102~GR.124~HT.96~

Italy's Migration Crisis: EXCLUSIVE REPORT on the Harsh Realities of Migrant Life | Migrants Speak

In an exclusive report from Rome, the Chief of the Gurudwara warns Indian families about the harsh realities of migrant life in Italy. With the Italian government’s announcement of issuing 500,000 work visas, hopes are high, but the struggles remain real. While speaking to our correspondent Paridhi Bhanot, Indian migrants like Mehul and Pammi, who have travelled thousands of miles from Punjab and Gujarat in search of a better life, are now caught in the uncertainty of visa issues and exploitation. The Gurudwara plays a pivotal role in their survival, offering support and hope, but the risks are undeniable. Head Priest Inderjeet Singh urges parents not to send their children to Italy, especially girls, highlighting the vulnerability migrants face in a foreign land where exploitation and broken dreams are all too common. A stark warning against the cost of migration, urging people to think carefully before risking everything for the 'foreign laddoo.' #ItalyMigrantCrisis #MigrantCrisisEurope #EuropeanMigrantCrisis #MigrantsInItaly #ItalyMigrants #MigrantCrisis #EUImmigrationCrisis #MigrantsCrossingItaly #EuropeMigrantTensions #ItalyBorderCrisis #MigrantCrisisUpdate #RefugeeCrisisEurope #MigrantSurgeItaly #ChicagoMigrantCrisis #EUMigrantsCrisis ~PR.152~HT.408~

Pakistan Faces Severe Water Crisis As Indus Waters Treaty Still In Abeyance | Punjab Hit Hardest

Pakistan is staring at a water disaster as India holds the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in abeyance. The flow of water from rivers like Chenab and Jhelum has plummeted, with Punjab province the worst affected. Water availability in the Indus system is down by over 10%, raising alarm for the approaching kharif season. Pakistan's key dams—Tarbela and Mangla—are also below optimal levels. The crisis follows India’s suspension of the treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack, and Pakistan has warned that blocking water flow could be considered an "act of war." #PakistanWaterCrisis #IndusWatersTreaty #IndiaPakistan #PunjabDrought #ChenabRiver #IRSA #WaterWar #TarbelaDam #ManglaDam #KharifSeason #IndusRiver #JhelumRiver #WaterShortage #CrossBorderTensions #Geopolitics #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #ClimateCrisis #SouthAsiaCrisis #BreakingNews ~HT.318~GR.122~
