In light of Rajkot and Delhi hospital fires, remembering similar tragedies, such as the Kerala temple fire of 2016 that killed 111 & Uphaar cinema fire of 1997 that killed 59.
The 1997 Uphaar Cinema fire case in Delhi was behind a smokescreen for decades — evidence went missing, Ansal brothers suddenly turned ‘poor’, judges recused themselves. A verdict has finally come.
The advanced age of the Ansals was considered while letting them buy their way out of a jail sentence. No one thought of the lives of my 17 and 13 year olds.
IAF is firming up plans to revamp airlift capabilities with medium transport aircraft that will be assembled in India & serve as its main workhorse. Embraer is leading contender as of now.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
