Published: Jan 15 2025, 9 pmeznews.inIn a tragic incident in Delhi, three men chose to steal a motorbike from a bleeding accident victim rather than assist him. On January 11, Vikas lost control of his bike on the Mehrauli-Gurugram road around 3 am, resulting in severe injuries. While he lay on the road, Uday Kumar, Tinku, and Parambir, residents of Fatehpur Beri, stole his vehicle and fled, leaving him to bleed to death. In a twist of fate, the trio soon suffered an accident themselves; Uday is now in a coma while Tinku and Parambir are injured but stable. The police have identified the men as drug addicts and have seized CCTV footage from the area for investigation. This incident echoes a similar case from 2023, where a filmmaker was also left to die after a collision, with bystanders reportedly failing to help and stealing his belongings.

The DEO emphasized the commitment to impartiality and adherence to Election Commission guidelines. This incident follows AAP's earlier allegations against the Election Commission for inaction regarding BJP candidate Parvesh Verma, who was accused of violating the Model Code of Conduct by distributing shoes to voters.

Published: Jan 15 2025, 10 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has reinstated stringent pollution controls in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) as dense fog and low temperatures cause the air quality index (AQI) to soar to alarming levels, reaching 396 by Thursday evening. Just days after lifting previous restrictions, the CAQM invoked measures under GRAP-3 and GRAP-4 due to the AQI surpassing the 350 and 400 thresholds, respectively, as mandated by the Supreme Court. The new regulations include restrictions on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel vehicles, potential bans on physical classes for students, and limits on government office attendance. Truck traffic into Delhi is largely banned, except for essential services. The severe weather has also disrupted air travel, with over 300 flights delayed and several trains running late, as residents contend with worsening pollution and visibility issues.
Published: Jan 15 2025, 7 pmeznews.inIndia marked a significant milestone on Wednesday by commissioning three indigenously developed naval vessels: the stealth frigate INS Nilgiri, the guided missile destroyer INS Surat, and the attack submarine INS Vaghsheer. This unprecedented simultaneous induction underscores India's commitment to military self-sufficiency and its strategic response to regional rivalries, particularly with China and Pakistan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that this move strengthens India's maritime capabilities and aligns with the government's 'Make in India' initiative, with over 75% of the warships developed domestically. The INS Nilgiri features advanced stealth technology, while the INS Surat is noted as India's first AI-enabled warship. The INS Vaghsheer, part of the Scorpene class, is designed for versatile combat roles. This commissioning is part of a broader effort to modernize India's military, with plans for an additional 62 warships and submarines currently under construction.
Published: Jan 15 2025, 7 pmeznews.inBengaluru-based space startup Pixxel has made history by launching India’s first private Earth imaging satellite constellation, named 'Firefly'. Founded in 2019 by Awais Ahmed and Kshitij Khandelwal while studying at the Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pixxel has raised $95 million, positioning itself as a leading player in India’s burgeoning private space sector. Three 'Firefly' satellites were successfully launched into low Earth orbit using a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket, with three more set to follow later this year. The 'Fireflies' are touted as the world's highest-resolution commercial-grade hyperspectral satellites, offering unprecedented five-meter resolution and advanced imaging capabilities. This milestone not only underscores India’s growing innovation in space technology but also aligns with the government’s push for private sector involvement in space exploration. Pixxel aims to expand its fleet to 24 satellites, targeting a share of the $19 billion satellite imaging market projected by 2029.
Published: Jan 15 2025, 7 pmeznews.inA recent study has revealed that Earth's mantle is divided by the Pacific Ring of Fire, a geological feature that mirrors the formation and disintegration of the supercontinent Pangaea. The research indicates that the mantle beneath the African domain, which spans from Asia to North America, contains a richer diversity of elements and isotopes compared to the Pacific domain. This distribution is a result of two supercontinent cycles over the past billion years, specifically the emergence of Rodinia and Pangaea. The study highlights how subduction processes have transported continental materials into the mantle, concentrating elements beneath the supercontinents. Even after Pangaea's breakup, its geochemical signatures persist in both deep and shallow mantle regions. The findings, published in *Nature Geoscience*, offer insights into the relationship between Earth's mantle and surface, emphasizing the importance of plate tectonics in cycling essential elements and the unique nature of Earth as the only planet known to exhibit this phenomenon.
