Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia speaks on surge in airline tickets

The India Saga Saga |

On Wednesday Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia spoke on the need of ensuring that airline ticket prices that have surged (for a plethora of reasons) ever since domestic air travel resumed post-Covid lockdown remain within a certain limit. He stated, “It must be made sure that maximum prices fall under a certain limit and we have also conveyed this message to the airlines in clear terms. The prices cannot be way beyond what should be rationally done. This should specifically be kept in consideration when we have certain instances such as the Go First situation or other circumstances or calamities. 

 

The announcement followed a meeting on Monday with the Airlines Advisory Group, where it was requested that the airlines self-monitor airfares, particularly on routes that were also served by the now-ground Go First. These routes are a few of those that have witnessed a great surge in ticket prices. Industry experts last month told Hindustan Times that the reason behind increased travel during the summer holiday season could have enticed airlines to hike prices yet again that too almost 50 per cent in some cases. This is after the hikes that happened due to factors like the war in Ukraine that led to the increased price of oil. The experts also cited Go First as a reason for an increase in fares as the collapse of the airline shrunk the number of tickets available and ultimately led to an increase in price. 

 

In recent times, complaints have increased about unfair ticket prices, particularly the number on social media where people are sharing their experiences. Amid this, Scindia was asked to give a response at a media event happening in Delhi this week. It was also brought to his attention that tickets for Delhi to Leh were only INR 4000 less than Delhi to Paris. However, the minister also noted that “it is an issue created by an unforeseen demand-supply imbalance” and said that the government is conducting a ‘full analysis’ of the situation.

Attacker was dressed as a lawyer and shot the gangster outside the UP court

The India Saga Saga |

In Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, a gangster was shot and murdered outside a courthouse, and a police officer was wounded, sparking new concerns about the situation of law and order in the region. According to reports, the shooter was dressed as a lawyer.

 

In a video, gang leader Sanjiv Maheshwari, also known as Sanjiv Jeeva, who oversaw a criminal organisation in western UP, could be seen slumped to the ground while medical personnel worked to stem his bleeding from bullet wounds.

 

Right now, it’s unclear if there were many shooters. According to reports, the solicitors in attendance at the court were able to hold onto one of the assailants and turn him over to the police. 

 

The criminal was fired at as he entered the courthouse while being hauled to a municipal court in the Kaiserbagh neighbourhood of the city. He was wearing a green shirt and blue jeans.

 

Sanjiv Jeeva was the leader of various criminal organisations in the state and was accused in a dozen criminal cases. According to estimates, there were at least 50 criminal cases against him in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand over the many years he had spent behind bars. 

 

According to some sources, he was also friends with the mafia from eastern Uttar Pradesh, such Mukhtar Ansari. It’s unclear how the assailant entered the courthouse with a handgun in tow. Two months have passed after mobster Atiq Ahmed was fatally murdered by police after being taken into custody. 

Germany proposes building 6 modern submarines in India under government’s strategic partnership

The India Saga Saga |

On Tuesday, during talks between German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to improve bilateral defence cooperation with a clear focus on stronger industrial partnerships, Germany proposed building six modern submarines in India under the government’s strategic partnership (SP) model, to increase the Indian Navy’s underwater strength. The project named P-75 will be one of the largest Make in India programmes. One of the officials asking not to be named stated, “The Germans are very excited about their contribution to making submarines in the nation. The Indian side welcomes their participation wholeheartedly.”

 

According to a statement from the Indian defence ministry, both leaders reviewed the ongoing bilateral defence cooperation and looked into measures to improve it, most prominently in defence-industrial partnerships. The German defence minister’s visit to India is the country’s first in eight years. To be sure, the P-75I was not included in the official announcement. The estimated 43,000 crore project was approved by India two years ago with the goal of enhancing the navy’s capabilities and advancing the government’s top priority of defence indigenization.

 

According to the SP model, a strategic partner from India would work with a foreign OEM to establish production facilities in the nation and build significant defence platforms domestically.”ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) is offering to sell us six submarines, but the process is not yet complete. In that, (P-75I) race, I believe the German industry is doing well, Pistorius told German reporters who were with him. He began a four-day tour to India on Monday. 

 

The defence ministry granted permission for two Indian and five foreign shipbuilders, including the German firm TKMS, to participate in P-75I in January 2020. L&T and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited are the Indian strategic partners that have been given the go-ahead to work with the foreign OEMs. The French Naval Group, Russia’s Rubin Design Bureau, Spain’s Navantia, and South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Company were among the international yards that received approval for collaborations.

7 Shot Outside Huguenot High School Graduation in Richmond, Virginia

The India Saga Saga |

In an unexpected turn of events, the joyous occasion of a high school graduation in Richmond, Virginia, turned into a scene of horror when seven people were shot there on Tuesday in Huguenot High School. The town was in a state of shock and amazement after the occurrence, which took place on a bright summer evening. The authorities said that two people were killed and a number of others were injured.

 

An 18-year-old guy and a 36-year-old male were the two people who lost their life, Chief Richard Edwards, the acting chief of Richmond Police Department, stated during the press conference. The victims’ names have not been made public by the authorities. He said that five further people were shot and among those one had life-threatening wounds. He also added that several other patients had been sent to nearby hospitals with wounds other than gunshot wounds, including one who had been ‘hit by a car during the melee.’ 

 

At a news conference on Tuesday night, Rick Edwards said that a male suspect aged 19, was in custody. He stated, “We believe the suspect knew at least one of the victims.” It was found that a second person who had been taken into custody earlier was not responsible for the shooting, thus, was released. 

 

The incident occured nearly at 5:15 pm outside the Altria Theatre. The interim chief of Police said that the officers inside the venue previously heard gunshots and came running to the scene, by much distress, they found many victimes of the shooting suffering severe wounds. 

 

Two people were killed among which is a 18-year-old male and a 36-year-old male, Chief Edwards told the sources. The authorities are refraining from releasing any identity of the victims.  As a happy event turned into a bloody one, people around the Richmond Monroe Park also got hurt while trying to leave the premise of shooting, including a 9-year-old girl who was hit by a car. Aside from 2 killed, five more people including – a 14-year-old boy and four men ranging in age from 31 to 58 suffered gunshot wounds. Four of those injured had non-serious injuries, according to Chief Police.

 

There was a statement issued on the website of Richmond Public Schools on Tuesday evening that addressed the families and staff members associated with the institute saying that after the Huguenot High School graduation ceremony, a shooting also took place in Monroe Park. This message declared that all the public schools in the city will select a cautionary measure starting Wednesday. 

 

Many people shared their views on the terrifying events that took place. Some even said that they were tired of seeing people get shot. People also reacted on how this community needs to stop with such massacres. 

It is not unknown that after every such mass shooting in America, the political drama mounts the battle. Democrats call out the government for not instigating strict gun control measures on the community such as prohibiting assault structured weapons and pointing out how this country is alone among the industrial nations that has a greater gun violence rate. 

 

While the counter point appears when Republicans claim the right to possess firearms is installed in the US Constitution and that the new gun contol legislation will be a counterproductive decision. After all this, the US government never seems to mend its ways on a national level. 

 

The conclusion drawn from this cause is that the political calculus commutes in Congress or among other states that are not agreeing with the gun-control legislation, it is important to understand how this battle will be a long one in the Courts.

Anurag Thakur: Government wants to talk about agenda with wrestlers who are protesting

The India Saga Saga |

Anurag Thakur, India’s Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, stated via Twitter that the national government is open to having a “discussion” with protesting wrestlers.

 

“The administration is open to talking with the wrestlers about their concerns. For the same, I have once more invited the wrestlers,” Thakur said on social media Wednesday night after midnight.

 

The declaration was made four days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah hosted a group of wrestlers who were protesting at his official residence in the city.

 

Olympic medalists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, as well as a number of coaches, reportedly attended the meeting, which reportedly lasted more than two hours and finished after midnight. “There was a meeting with the Home Minister. I can’t comment further,” Bajrang had told the sources. 

 

Several of the best wrestlers in the nation, including the bronze medalist from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, have been protesting in the nation’s capital for more than a month now. They are calling for the arrest of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the head of the Wrestling Federation of India, on charges of sexual harassment and misconduct. 

 

As this publication reported on Friday, two FIRs were filed against Singh by the Delhi Police on April 28. These two FIRs detail close to 15 instances of sexual harassment, including 10 instances of inappropriate touching, molestation, which includes running hands over breasts and touching the navel, and several instances of intimidation, including stalking. 

 

One Olympian, a Commonwealth gold medalist, an international referee, and a state-level coach are among the 125 potential witnesses from four states whose statements have been taken down by Delhi Police, according to some unknown sources, who also claimed that they have corroborated the claims of at least three female wrestlers.

 

The main topic brought up by the wrestlers at their meeting with Shah was the current state of the investigation into these charges against Singh, as we have learned. The wrestlers emphasised their need for a prompt filing of a substantial chargesheet. It is rumoured that the Home Minister stated that the proper procedure must be followed.
