New Rail-Port Corridor Different From China's Belt And Road? Minister Explains

The proposed India-Middle-East-Europe Corridor, which is seen by many as a rival to China's Belt And Road Project, will be substantially different, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told NDTV today. Compared to the Chinese project that has pitched some of its host nations into a debt trap, the G20 project will bring in revenue and be bankable, he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.   "PM's vision of taking everyone along is important part of this corridor... PM's vision of sabka saath sabka vikas is very clearly ingrained in this one from conception," the minister said. Ever since it was announced, the US-backed project, dubbed by many as the new Spice Route, has been seen as a counterweight to China's ambitious Belt And Road Initiative that aimed to roughly revive the ancient Silk route. But 10 years down the line, the European nations are doubtful. The only G7 nation to sign up for it, Italy, is likely to drop out, reports say. And there are increasing

Tafajjal Hossain: Meet BJP's Face In Tripura

BJP's Tafajjal Hossain, who wrested the minority-dominated Boxanagar Assembly seat in Tripura's Sepahijala district from the CPI(M) in the by-election by more than 30,000 votes is now the new poster boy of the saffron party. More than 66 per cent of the voters in the Boxanagar Assembly constituency belong to the minority community and the constituency was a CPI(M) stronghold. Mr Hossain's win in the minority-dominated Boxanagar Assembly constituency in Tripura is seen as politically important for the BJP, who are accused of ignoring the interest of minority people in the northeastern state. Tafajjal Hossain polled 33,849 votes in the by-election to the Boxanagar seat while CPI(M)'s Mizan Hussain got only 3,884 votes. For the first time in 25 years, the Communists lost their stronghold Boxanagar. Riding on the aggressive campaign led by Chief Minister Manik Saha and his cabinet colleagues, the BJP defeated the CPI(M) in its bastion. "For the past 40 years, the

New Zealand Couple Demand Fare Refund After Being Seated Next To Farting Dog On Flight

A couple from New Zealand is requesting a refund of their airfare from Singapore Airlines, as they had to endure approximately 13 hours seated beside a dog that was slobbering, farting, and whining throughout the journey. According to New Zealand's Stuff media , the Wellington couple Gill and Warren Press were travelling back to New Zealand from Europe in June and had boarded the 13-hour flight from Paris to Singapore when they were surprised to discover a dog was accompanying the passenger in the seat beside them. "I heard this noise-a heavy snorting," said Gill Press. "I thought it was my husband's phone, but we looked down and realised it was the dog breathing. I said, 'I'm not having this sit next to us the whole trip.'" The news outlet also stated that the couple asked for a seat change, but the cabin crew informed them that the only available seats were located at the rear of the economy class section. Not wanting to downgrade, they ult

"Very High On My Priorities": UN Chief On Countering Terrorism

Terrorism is absolutely "unjustifiable" and the time has come for the international system to combat it seriously, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Friday while noting that India naturally has its own concerns over the menace. In an exclusive interview to PTI, Antonio Guterres said combating terrorism must be a "fundamental priority" for "all of us" and that it is something that is very high in his priorities. "This is something that is very high in my priorities. The first reform I made when I came to the United Nations was exactly to create the Office of counter-terrorism," he said. His remarks came when asked about India's concerns over cross-border terrorism and what the United Nations can do in terms of collaborating with the member states in the fight against terrorism. The UN Secretary General said terrorism has become a global phenomenon and that India "naturally" has its "own concerns". "Ter

Former UK Cops Admit Sending Racist Messages About Meghan Markle, Royals

Five former London police officers on Thursday admitted sending grossly offensive racist messages to each other on WhatsApp, which included references to Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and other members of the royal family. The five officers, who have all retired, were charged after an investigation by BBC's Newsnight programme which discovered the men had sent the messages between August 2018 and September 2022, a period when they had all left the police. Three of the messages featured racist comments about Meghan, the wife of King Charles' younger son, Prince Harry. Meghan's mother is Black and her father is white. One of these messages also included a picture of the late Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip, while others referenced Charles' eldest son and heir Prince William and his wife Kate, along with Rishi Sunak, Britain's first prime minister of colour. The former officers, aged in their 60s, pleaded guilty to sending offensive messages at a hea
