Last Updated:December 05, 2025, 20:54 IST The disruptions have largely affected specific airports and dates, with Friday being the worst-hit day, when over 1,000 flights were cancelled. IndiGo aircrafts at the Kempegowda International Airport, in Bengaluru, Karnataka. (PTI photo) IndiGo is still selling tickets even as it cancels hundreds of flights daily, raising questions about how bookings continue amid ongoing disruptions. The reason is simple: despite the widespread cancellations, the airline has not grounded its entire fleet or stopped all of its more than 2,200 daily domestic and international flights. The disruptions have largely affected specific airports and dates, with Friday being the worst-hit day, when over 1,000 flights were cancelled, including all domestic departures from Delhi. While parts of IndiGo’s network remain in crisis mode, many routes, such as Kolkata-Guwahati and Chennai-Coimbatore, as well as connections between non-metro cities, are still operational, though often with delays and reduced frequency. As a result, flights on these unaffected routes continue to be open for booking, NDTV reported. Airlines rarely cancel flights weeks in advance unless there …

Farallon Slab Beneath Midwest Pulls Crust Downward, Causing Widespread Thinning

Farallon Slab Beneath Midwest Pulls Crust Downward, Causing Widespread Thinning

An underground structure beneath central United States has been observed dragging surface materials deep into the Earth. This movement has been linked to an old piece of crust lodged far below the Midwest. Researchers have said this action is pulling rocks from across the continent towards a funnel-shaped region. It is believed this process is causing parts of the crust to thin as material is drawn downward. This phenomenon has been found to affect areas beyond the immediate region. Underground slab tied to crust loss beneath Midwest According to the study published in Nature Geoscience, the phenomenon has been tied to the remains of a long-subducted tectonic plate known as the Farallon slab. This slab, which sits around 660 kilometres below the surface, was identified as the driving force behind what scientists refer to as cratonic thinning. Cratons are known to be the stable core regions of continental crust and upper mantle that usually do not undergo change. The seismic mapping project was led by Junlin Hua during his postdoctoral work at The University of …

Windows CLFS Vulnerability Could Lead to ‘Widespread Deployment and Detonation of Ransomware’

Windows CLFS Vulnerability Could Lead to ‘Widespread Deployment and Detonation of Ransomware’

Image: nicescene/Adobe Stock Microsoft has detected a zero-day vulnerability in the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) being exploited in the wild to deploy ransomware. Target industries include IT, real estate, finance, software, and retail, with companies based in the US, Spain, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-29824 and rated “important,” is present in the CLFS kernel driver. It allows an attacker who already has standard user access to a system to escalate their local privileges. The individual can then use their privileged access for “widespread deployment and detonation of ransomware within an environment,” according to a blog post by the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center. The CFLS driver is a key element of Windows used to write transaction logs, and its misuse could let an attacker gain SYSTEM privileges. From there, they could steal data or install backdoors. Microsoft often uncovers privilege escalation flaws in CFLS, the last one being patched in December. In instances of CVE-2025-29824 exploitation observed by Microsoft, the so-called “PipeMagic” malware was deployed before the attackers could exploit …

With over 500 cases in every district, Kerala’s drug menace is widespread and escalating

Students of the Government Polytechnic College, Kalamassery, take a pledge as part of an anti-drug campaign | Photo Credit: THULASI KAKKAT Over the past three years, there has been a sudden surge in drug abuse in Kerala, sparking widespread concern. In March, the Kerala High Court warned of the “poisonous fangs of the drug mafia”, while the Governor met with university Vice-Chancellors to address student drug use. The State Higher Education Department launched a ‘Love-a-Thon’ campaign against substance abuse, and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan urged new Sub-Inspectors to take a lead in combating the drug trade. Last month, the State Assembly suspended regular business to discuss the growing crisis. The reactions are well-founded. Chart 1 shows the State-wise number of cases filed under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, between 2017 and 2024.
