Why Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal avoided going to Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj?

Why Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal avoided going to Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj?

Experts say that Yogi’s claim about the Maha Kumbh providing Rs 3 lakh crore turnover to the state economy will surely benefit thousands for whom this event was a big source of earnings. Maha Kumbh will surely give a boost to UP’s economy, and Prayagraj will emerge as a top tourist destination. The successful completion of Maha Kumbh has brought the Sanatan Dharma to centre stage for the second time in two years.  Last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi consecrated the idol of Ram Lala at the grand temple in Ayodhya, where celebrities from all spheres were invited. Maha Kumbh marked the assertion of the Sanatan faith by more than half a billion Hindus who came to Sangam on their own, as pilgrims. The Ram Lala Pran Pratistha event was ceremonial, but the Maha Kumbh was a grand event for all commoners. Celebrities and VIPs also came to Maha Kumbh, but they were practically lost among the multitudes of devotees. Crores of people came from all corners of India to the Maha Kumbh, which became …

Could have been avoided: India on deportation of illegal immigrants in shackles

Could have been avoided: India on deportation of illegal immigrants in shackles

New Delhi on Friday said it has registered concerns with the United States (US) over the deportation of illegal immigrants to India in shackles and conveyed that this kind of treatment could have been avoided. The remarks of Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri came amid uproar over the deportation of illegal Indian immigrants by the US in handcuffs during their 40-hour flight onboard a military aircraft. “We do make our concerns known to the United States that this kind of treatment can perhaps be avoided,” the foreign secretary said in response to questions on the deportation. Misri said there are as many as 487 presumed Indian citizens with final removal orders from the US authorities and details of 298 people have been shared with India. He said the information shared by the US authorities was being verified. He said the US policy of deporting illegal immigrants in restraints has been in place since 2012. “I don`t think there was any protest. We don`t have any record of any protest having been made about it,” the foreign secretary …

Susan Polgar on Magnus Carlsen vs FIDE feud over wearing jeans: ‘This could have been avoided’ | Chess News

Chess legend Susan Polgar said the feud between Magnus Carlsen and FIDE “could have been avoided,” if the rules from the chess governing body were more clearer. Magnus Carlsen pulled out of the FIDE World Rapid and Blitz tournament on Friday night after he was fined by the global governing body of the sport for wearing jeans. While Magnus Carlsen was offered the option by FIDE of changing his attire, he opted to stop playing at the year-end event calling it a “matter of principle”. For/against every single time! The problem was not about the jeans! I have read countless comments and posts about the “jeans” incident that took place yesterday at the World Rapid Chess Championships. Just like any major chess incidents in the past, there are clearly 2 sides.… pic.twitter.com/ui4kuPoNmn — Susan Polgar (@SusanPolgar) December 28, 2024 Susan in a long post on X pointed out how the situation could have been diffused.

Chandrayaan-2 Lunar Orbiter Avoided Collision With Danuri Spacecraft in September, Reveals ISRO

Chandrayaan-2 Lunar Orbiter Avoided Collision With Danuri Spacecraft in September, Reveals ISRO

India’s Chandrayaan-2 lunar orbiter performed a manoeuvre in September to prevent a close encounter with the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), officially known as Danuri, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The adjustment carried out on September 19, 2024, was necessary to avoid a potential collision between the two orbiters, which was projected for two weeks later if no changes were made to Chandrayaan-2’s trajectory. Following this, on October 1, 2024, another orbital modification was implemented to maintain separation from other lunar orbiters, including NASA‘s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), as per an ISRO report. Frequent Collision Risks Among Lunar Orbiters Around the lunar poles, orbiters such as Chandrayaan-2, Danuri, and LRO share a similar near-polar path, increasing the likelihood of close approaches. Over the past 18 months, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), which operates Danuri, reported having received over 40 collision alerts for interactions among Danuri, Chandrayaan-2, and LRO. These alerts, referred to as “red alarms,” underscore the growing risk of accidental collisions as multiple international agencies operate missions in close proximity around …

Bollywood has a big Diwali with two major releases including Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again and Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

Could India have avoided whitewash if Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli had played Duleep Trophy matches | Cricket News

Could India have avoided whitewash if Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli had played Duleep Trophy matches | Cricket News

This isn’t a wake-up call. Nor this is a freak, one-off series where India got the worst of the conditions. A 0-3 whitewash at home for the first time in its history was a sign of things to come for India. The signs were coming over the last two home seasons where unheralded spinners had Indian batsmen wanting in their own conditions. Having lost only two Test matches from 2013 to 2020, they had lost three between 2021 to 2024 when Bangladesh and New Zealand were lined up for their home season. It would have been a good time for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to go back to the domestic fold when Duleep Trophy fixtures were out. Rohit hasn’t played a Ranji Trophy fixture since 2015. Kohli has not played since 2012. Playing Duleep Trophy would have been an ideal preparation. But they chose a break. And it isn’t a mere coincidence that Rohit and Kohli endured a season to forget, averaging 13.3 and 19.2 in 10 innings against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Their …

The Israeli military have also taken down seven high-ranking Hezbollah militants over the past week in the airstrikes, including its the group’s chief Hassan Nasrallah. The latest incidents have raised fears of a full-blown war in the Middle East, which could potentially involve the likes of Iran. Biden did not mention when he planned to speak with Netanyahu. The Israeli Prime Minister had warned Iran in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly this month that if Iran strikes Israel, the Jewish country will hit …

Shah Rukh Khan has avoided the media since 2021 for this reason: ‘He’s mad for what they did to his son’ | Bollywood

There was a time when actor Shah Rukh Khan, known for his media-friendly nature, stopped making public appearances, and in fact avoided getting clicked with the help of a black curtain or an umbrella.
