India-Pakistan relations have deteriorated sharply following the 22 April tourist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, with India citing Pakistan's alleged involvement and announcing a freeze on political and cultural engagement. In response, Pakistan's National Security Committee indicated a departure from traditional crisis management. The situation raises concerns about the erosion of the Simla Agreement, established in 1972 to resolve disputes through bilateral negotiations, particularly concerning Kashmir. While Pakistan has historically sought international intervention, India maintains that the issue is an internal matter. The Line of Control (LoC), created by the agreement, serves as a fragile trust-building mechanism, and its potential abandonment could escalate tensions and conflict. Despite moments of adherence to the agreement, the current climate reflects a significant decline in diplomatic relations, with both nations facing challenges in finding common ground amid ongoing hostility.

May 06 2025, 3 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: The Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) 63rd PSLV launch, intended to deploy the EOS-9 surveillance satellite, ended in failure due to a drop in chamber pressure during the third stage. The launch took place at 5.59 am from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, following successful initial stages. ISRO chairman V Narayanan, who previously identified issues in the Chandrayaan-2 mission, confirmed the anomaly occurred in the solid fuel stage. The EOS-9 satellite, designed to enhance India's remote sensing capabilities and provide critical data across various sectors, was meant to orbit 500 kilometres above the Earth. In light of the failure, both ISRO's internal committee and an external government panel will investigate the incident, with findings expected in a few weeks. Despite the setback, four radar satellites and eight cartosats remain operational, though EOS-9's unique all-weather capabilities will take years to replace.

The launch, marking the 101st mission for the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, proceeded normally through the first two stages, but an issue arose during the third stage motor's operation. Narayanan stated that further analysis would be conducted before future attempts. EOS-09, a repeat of the EOS-04 satellite launched in 2022, is equipped with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to provide all-weather imaging for various applications, including agriculture, forestry monitoring, disaster management, urban planning, and national security. The rocket was scheduled to launch at 5:59 AM.

The PSLV-C61 performed normally until the second stage, after which an issue arose in the third stage, leading to the mission's failure. ISRO Chief confirmed the setback, stating, "We will come back after analysis." The EOS-09, designed for Earth observation with advanced radar technology, aimed to enhance surveillance for agriculture, forestry, and disaster management, and was equipped with deorbiting fuel for responsible disposal. Despite the excitement surrounding the launch, families who traveled to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre were disappointed as security concerns related to India-Pakistan tensions prevented public viewing of the event. Enthusiastic visitors expressed their aspirations to witness future launches and even dreamt of contributing to ISRO's mission.

May 17 2025, 11 pmeznews.inIndia has implemented port restrictions on imports from Bangladesh, specifically targeting readymade garments and processed food items, as per a notification from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade. These restrictions will prevent the import of specified goods through land ports, although they can still enter via the Nhava Sheva and Kolkata seaports. Notably, goods transiting through India to Nepal and Bhutan are exempt from these restrictions. The order follows a controversial statement by Bangladesh's interim government head, Muhammad Yunus, regarding India's northeastern states, which exacerbated tensions between the two nations. This move comes after India previously withdrew a transshipment facility that allowed Bangladesh to use Indian ports for exports to various regions. The ongoing trade relationship, valued at USD 12.9 billion in 2023-24, has been strained further due to concerns over minority rights in Bangladesh, particularly regarding attacks on Hindus.

May 17 2025, 9 pmeznews.inIn a heated exchange, the BJP has rebuked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for labeling the informing of Pakistan at the onset of Operation Sindoor a "crime." Gandhi's comments followed a video of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, who stated that Pakistan was notified during the operation, which targeted terrorist infrastructure rather than military sites. Gandhi questioned the authorization for this communication and raised concerns about potential losses to the Indian Air Force. The BJP swiftly countered, accusing Gandhi of spreading misinformation, referencing a Press Information Bureau fact-check that clarified Jaishankar had not implied Pakistan was informed before the operation commenced. The Ministry of External Affairs also emphasized that Gandhi misrepresented Jaishankar's remarks. Operation Sindoor involved strikes on multiple terror bases in Pakistan in response to a deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir, leading to a subsequent escalation of hostilities between the two nations.
