In a significant move towards digital healthcare enhancement, the Delhi government announced the rollout of a Health Management Information System (HMIS) across all hospitals, as stated by Health Minister Pankaj Singh. This initiative will establish a centralised healthcare control room featuring a dashboard to monitor real-time data, including bed availability, medicine stocks, and diagnostic trends, aimed at improving decision-making and governance. In a separate incident, a 20-year-old Nepalese student at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar was found dead in her hostel room, raising concerns following a similar suicide case of another Nepalese student just two and a half months prior. The student, pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science, was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan, although her identity remains unconfirmed. Police have stated the incident appears to be a suicide, but KIIT authorities have yet to comment. 
Published: May 02 2025, 2 ameznews.inPrime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks during the inauguration of the Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerala have reignited scrutiny of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's position within the party. Modi referenced Tharoor, suggesting his presence would "disturb the sleep" of some, highlighting the MP's growing individual stature in the face of a "leadership vacuum" in Kerala's Congress. Tharoor's decision to personally welcome Modi at the airport, despite delays, further caught public attention. His recent comments acknowledging the Modi government's achievements, including India's vaccine diplomacy, have been interpreted as tacit endorsements, prompting discussions about his future in Congress. While the party leadership projects unity, Tharoor has expressed dissatisfaction with the state leadership and has not ruled out exploring other options. The Vizhinjam seaport, a significant infrastructure project costing Rs 8,867 crore, aims to enhance India's maritime capabilities and is expected to become a vital transhipment hub.
Published: May 02 2025, 1 pmeznews.inIndia's first mega transshipment terminal, the Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerala, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking a significant step in reversing the country's annual revenue losses of $220 million due to reliance on foreign ports. This Rs 8,900 crore project is designed to accommodate large cargo vessels, enhancing India's global trade position and logistics efficiency. Located 10 nautical miles from key shipping routes, Vizhinjam is set to become the subcontinent's primary transshipment hub, reducing costs for Indian exporters and importers by $80 to $100 per container. Its strategic advantages include minimal littoral drift, which lowers maintenance costs, and excellent connectivity to rail and road networks, with National Highway 47 and Trivandrum International Airport nearby. Modi emphasized the port's potential to bring economic stability to both Kerala and India during the inauguration attended by various dignitaries.
Published: May 02 2025, 1 pmeznews.inThe Supreme Court of India has temporarily halted the deportation of Ahmed Tariq Butt, an Accenture employee from Bengaluru, and his family, who were ordered to leave the country despite holding Indian passports. This decision comes amid heightened diplomatic tensions following a terror attack in Pahalgam, which prompted the Indian government to cancel visas for Pakistani nationals. Butt, who arrived in India from Pakistan in 1997 and has since obtained Indian citizenship, contested the government's order, claiming it falsely stated that he and his family had overstayed their visas. The Supreme Court has mandated a verification of their documents and prohibited any coercive action against them until this is resolved. The court acknowledged the "human element" in this case but clarified that its ruling should not set a precedent for similar cases, as reports emerge of other Indian nationals, particularly those with Muslim names, facing deportation.
Published: May 02 2025, 12 pmeznews.inThe Modi government's decision to include caste enumeration in the upcoming population census marks a significant ideological shift from its Hindutva vision, aimed at uniting Hindus beyond caste divisions. This move follows the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) disappointing performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, particularly concerning its core OBC (Other Backward Classes) voter base, which has shown signs of erosion. Key allies, including Chirag Paswan of the Lok Janshakti Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), have expressed support for the caste headcount, emphasizing its potential societal benefits rather than political exploitation. Amid rising tensions with Pakistan and internal party conflicts in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP hopes that the caste census will help mend relations with disaffected OBC voters. This strategy echoes past political maneuvers, notably by former Prime Minister VP Singh, raising questions about its long-term implications for the BJP's identity and electoral strategy.
Published: May 02 2025, 12 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded industrialist Gautam Adani during the inauguration of the Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerala, humorously suggesting that Adani might face discontent from Gujarat residents for building a port of such magnitude in Kerala. The port, situated in Thiruvananthapuram district, was completed at an estimated cost of Rs 8,867 crore and aims to lessen India's reliance on foreign ports for transhipment. Developed by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) under a public-private partnership with the Kerala government, the port is set to bolster India's maritime capabilities. The commissioning ceremony was attended by key figures, including Kerala Governor Rajendra Arlekar and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. PM Modi also conducted an aerial survey of the site and toured the operational facilities, highlighting the port's readiness for commercial operations following its certification last December.
Published: May 02 2025, 12 pmeznews.inThe National Investigation Agency (NIA) has released a preliminary report on the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley, which resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, primarily tourists. The report suggests a coordinated effort between Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in orchestrating the attack. Sources indicate that the conspiracy was developed within LeT, allegedly under the guidance of senior ISI officials, and formalised at the group's headquarters in Pakistan. Key perpetrators identified as Hashmi Musa (alias Suleman) and Ali Bhai (alias Talha Bhai) are confirmed to be Pakistani nationals. Interrogations of detained operatives revealed that the attackers were in regular contact with handlers based in Pakistan, receiving detailed instructions regarding the attack's timing, logistics, and execution.
Published: May 02 2025, 11 ameznews.inThe inauguration of a new Jagannath temple in Digha has sparked a heated dispute between Odisha and West Bengal, primarily over the West Bengal government's designation of the temple as "Jagannath Dham." This title is historically reserved for the 12th-century Puri temple, a key pilgrimage site in Hinduism, leading to objections from Odisha's religious scholars and devotees who argue that such a claim distorts tradition. The temple, built on 22 acres at a cost of Rs 250 crore, aims to attract both religious visitors and tourists. Criticism intensified following promotional materials from the West Bengal government that appeared to appropriate symbols associated with Puri. Additionally, political tensions have emerged, with West Bengal's opposition leader questioning whether the site is a temple or cultural centre, raising concerns about public funding for religious infrastructure. The controversy is further complicated by upcoming assembly elections, as the ruling Trinamool Congress seeks to appeal to Hindu voters.
Published: May 02 2025, 11 ameznews.inResidents of Gurugram have turned to humour in the face of severe rain and flooding that struck the Delhi-NCR region on Friday, dubbing waterlogged streets as a makeshift waterpark. Social media was awash with jokes and videos highlighting the chaos, including one shared by a user who quipped about the city’s infrastructure issues, stating, "Few hours of rain and Gurgaon turns into a waterpark." As traffic snarls ensued and waterlogging disrupted daily life, users compared the conditions to a public pool and even referenced mythological rivers. Despite the laughter, many expressed frustration over the ongoing infrastructure problems, with one user noting that even brief rain leads to significant flooding. The heavy rainfall also caused flight delays at Delhi Airport, with around 200 flights affected. Tragically, a tree fell on a family in Dwarka, resulting in the death of a woman and her three children.
Published: May 02 2025, 11 ameznews.inThe Delhi High Court has upheld its ruling mandating Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale to pay Rs 50 lakh in damages to former diplomat Lakshmi Puri for defamation, rejecting his petition for a delayed appeal. The court dismissed Gokhale's request, citing a lack of valid explanation for the 180-day delay in seeking relief. Puri, who previously served as the United Nations Assistant Secretary-General, accused Gokhale of making false allegations regarding her financial dealings, specifically claims about property purchases in Switzerland. Gokhale had called for an investigation by the Enforcement Directorate, which Puri argued was baseless as she was not in public office at the time. The court had previously ordered Gokhale to remove defamatory tweets and publish an apology, yet Puri's subsequent action was prompted by his failure to comply with the judgment.
