goods from sea and land routes and the drug money was changed through hawala operations, Singh said.“These syndicates have been smuggling goods to India through maritime as well as land border routes wherein heroin was smuggled in with various legitimate goods. Heroin was later extracted from those goods by the Indian counterparts with the help of some Afghan nationals. Several raids were conducted and are still going on to bust the entire network.

7 IndiGo Pilots Found Abusing Over Emergency Frequency, Probe On: Report
Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR
Congress Preparations For 2024 Lok Sabha Poll Without Prashant Kishor Now that the poll strategist Prashant Kishor has finally dissociated himself from theCongress Party plans for the next state assembly elections culminating into the Lok Sabhapolls in March/April 2024, the Congress Party has to focus fully on how to make optimumuse of the strategic planning for defeating the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections in cooperationwith other anti-BJP parties.PK has submitted a blueprint many parts of which have theendorsement of the Congress high command. Those can be implemented by the Congressleadership itself provided the state leaders including the present chief ministers are fullyutilised to implement the programme in practice.There are three elements in PKs election strategy which the Congress leadership must havetaken note. The first is, the Congress has to bring out massive improvement in thegrassroots organisation in the states where the Party is the major challenger to the BJP inthe elections. This means these are the states where the Congress performed miserably inthe 2019 Lok Sabha polls and without big improvement in the tally from these states, theCongress will never be able to cross the figure of 120 which is the minimum base mark forthe non-BJP opposition to come to power after 2024 Lok Sabha elections.In last 2019 Lok Sabha elections, out of the 52 seats won, the Congress got only 6 seats outof the 250 seats where it challenged the BJP on its own. These are one in UP with 80 seats,one in Bihar with 40 seats, one in Madhya Pradesh with 28 seats, one in Jharkhand with 14seats, and two in Chhattisgarh with 11. In other states of this 250 seats group, the Congressdrew blank in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. InHP, however in a later by election, the Congress won the Mandi Lok Sabha seat. So rightnow, the tally is 7 out of 250 block of fighting BJP singlehandedly.Secondly, there are 543 Lok Sabha seats. The perfect strategy for the Congress should beto vastly improve its tally in these block of 250, in some states like MP, Rajasthan, Gujarat,Chhattisgarh on the basis of its own strength and in some others like Jharkhand andHaryana and Bihar, to explore for alliances against the BJP. The target should be to win atleast 80 seats from this block. This is a tall task but it can be achieved. Congress have gotleaders like Bhupesh Baghel and Kamal Nath. They have the capacity to increase the seattally substantially provided full infra support is given. The Congress will never be in thereckoning in the post poll scenario if its tally is less than 100 seats.Thirdly, there will be some states, where the regional parties are the dominating parties andthe Congress can only be minor part. The Party has to be prepared for that and should notbargain for more not warranted by its ground level strength. he prime objective to minimizethe areas of differences over seat allocation so that the non-BJP votes are not divided. Thenthere are states where the Congress will have to work for long term organizational expansionwithout hoping for much results in the immediate future like Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Now what about Southern states? Out of 53 Congress seats now in Lok Sabha, 28 are fromSouth. There are 15 from Kerala, eight from Tamil Nadu, three from Telangana, one eachfrom Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry. In South, the Congress tally may go down in Keralaand the Party may lose Puducherry. In Karnataka, the Congress has to tie-up with JD(S) andbid for more seats. Karnataka is the only state from where the Congress can hope to bridgethe deficit due to its loss of seats in Kerala. In AP and Telangana, it is a tough fight, TRSchief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is in a strong position and he will not allow theCongress to have any fresh break through. He is now equally fighting BJP in his turf. So theCongress will have a tough task on hand in both Telangana and AP. It will be difficult for theCongress to stick to the current tally of 28 in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from theSouthern statesLet us look at Eastern India. In Odisha, BJP is the main party fighting the BJD led by thechief minister Naveen Patnaik who is still comfortable in his position as the latest municipaland rural polls showed. The Congress state leadership is divided and the organisation atgrassroots level is in a very bad shape. The BJP has worked very hard - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara in the state and the RSS cadres.

At least seven IndiGo pilots were allegedly found using offensive language over salary issues on a frequency used for emergency communications, sources said on Thursday. On April 9, these pilots were allegedly found venting their ire over low salaries by using offensive language on 121.5
MHz frequency, which is used for emergency communications only for the aircraft in distress. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched a probe in the matter. IndiGo is yet to issue a statement on the development, the sources said. Frequency 121.5 MHz, used for emergency communications, has to be compulsorily monitored by the air traffic controllers who are in the vicinity of the aircraft.For air-to-air communication among the pilots of different aircraft, 123.45 MHz frequency is used, which is not monitored by the air traffic controllers. Days before the incident, IndiGo had suspended a few pilots who were planning to hold a strike on April 5 against the pay cuts effected during the COVID-19 pandemic.During the peak of the pandemic, the airline had cut the salaries of its pilots by as much as 30 per cent.

Russia has deployed an army of dolphins to protect its naval base in the Black Sea. According to the US Naval Institute (USNI), two floating dolphin pens have been placed at the entrance of the Sevastopol harbour, Russia’s most significant naval based in the Black Sea.The USNI report is based on satellite images of the Russian naval
base. It said that dolphins were moved there in February, just before the start of the Ukraine war. According to Newsweek, dolphins have been selected to protect the naval base because they possess natural sonar, which they use while navigating through the ocean. Called echolocation, dolphins’ natural ability is so precise that it can determine the difference between a golf ball and a ping-pong ball based solely on density.The ships that are anchored at the Russian naval base are out of range from the Ukrainian missiles, but could face an underwater attack.

Oil Hits 7-Year Peak On Political Risks, Supply Crunch Agency News: New Delhi Oil prices rose to a more than seven-year peak on Friday and recorded their sixth straight weekly gain as geopolitical turmoil exacerbated concerns over tight energy supply. On a weekly basis, the benchmark contracts notched their longest run of gains since October. Brent futures rose 69 cents to settle at $90.03 a barrel, after hitting $91.70, the highest level since October 2014. U.S. crude closed 21 cents higher at
$86.82 per barrel, after hitting a seven-year peak of $88.84 during the session.Tight oil supplies pushed the six-month market structure for Brent into steep backwardation of $6.92 a barrel, the widest since 2013. Backwardation exists when contracts for nearterm delivery of oil are priced higher than those for later months, encouraging traders to release oil from storage to sell it promptly.Major producers in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies led by Russia.
