India’s maritime security system has got new strength. Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) has started ‘Port of Refuge’ for the first time in the country. Through this initiative, ships facing emergency at sea will now be able to get safe haven and quick help.

Till now, there was no such formal system in the Indian maritime area, under which the situation could be controlled by immediately bringing the ships in distress to a safe place. The introduction of this new facility will be of great help in the safety of ships, saving the lives of crew members and protecting the environment from harm.

What is port of refuge?
According to the guidelines of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), ‘Ports of Refuge’ are places where ships stranded in case of accident, technical failure or bad weather can stop temporarily and handle the situation. This system is already implemented in many developed maritime countries but now it has been institutionalized for the first time in India.

Two important sea bases were developed
APSEZ has developed two important marine bases under this scheme. Dighi Port located on the western coast will serve as a support for ships heading towards the Arabian Sea and Gulf countries, while Gopalpur Port on the eastern coast will play the role of a relief center for ships operating towards the Bay of Bengal and the Strait of Malacca. Modern facilities like fire fighting, pollution control, debris removal and rescue operations will be available at these ports to deal with emergency situations.

To provide global support to this initiative, APSEZ has tied up with SMIT Salvage, Royal Boskalis Westminster NV and Maritime Emergency Response Centre. This will ensure fast, coordinated and expert assistance during any maritime accident.

Company CEO Ashwani Gupta said that this initiative is an important achievement in strengthening the maritime preparedness of the country. At the same time, according to Director General of Shipping Shyam Jagannathan, this will enable better response and coordination in emergency situations, thereby ensuring safety of life, property and environment.

This step is considered very important in view of India’s long coastline and busy sea routes. Experts say that with the introduction of ‘Port of Refuge’, India will not only come closer to international maritime standards, but will also strengthen its participation in global trade.

According to the new rules of the Central Government, if you are traveling with family or friends on the same booking, then the concerned airline will now have to ensure that you all sit together in the flight. Apart from this, the airline will also have to try to get seats adjacent to each other.

It will be easy to bring sports equipment and musical instruments
Apart from passenger seats, airlines will now have to make clear and transparent policies on carrying sports equipment and musical instruments. Along with this, the rules for carrying pets with passengers will also have to be clearly stated.

All rights of passengers protected in case of delay-cancellation
According to the new rules of the Central Government, now if the flight is delayed, canceled or if the airlines are prevented from boarding, then in all these cases the airlines companies will have to strictly follow the passenger rights. Apart from all this, airlines will have to clearly mention the rights of passengers everywhere on their websites, mobile apps, booking platforms and airport counters.

Now these departments can also get content removed from social media, big decision of Modi government

In view of the ongoing crisis in Iran, the central government has formed a three-member group of ministers to closely monitor the situation and deal with the possible impacts. This high level committee will be headed by Home Minister Amit Shah. However, the government says that right now no significant impact is being seen on the country. The government is leaving no stone unturned and already seems to be in a preparation mood.

Who is included in the committee?

Apart from Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah, this group of ministers also includes External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri are also included. While the Foreign Ministry will review the situation at the diplomatic level, the Petroleum Ministry will analyze the impact on the global oil and gas supply chain. Especially to deal with the possible shortage or supply disruption of LPG, alternative sources and supply management are also being considered.

Why is this committee special?

However, there is a shortage of LPG cylinders in many areas and people are facing difficulties due to this shortage. The government has indicated that advance preparations are being made to ensure that domestic consumers do not face any inconvenience. Oil companies have been instructed to maintain adequate storage and keep the distribution system smooth. This Group of Ministers will continuously review the situation in collaboration with other concerned ministries, so that the crisis has minimal impact on the energy security of the country and the needs of the common people.

Indian ships will pass through Hormuz Strait

Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar spoke to Iranian Foreign Minister Syed Abbas Araghchi over phone, after which Iran gave permission to Indian ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. These two ships are transiting between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. This is a big relief amid the increasing oil shortage in India because since the start of the war, most of the ships are stuck there and the traffic has almost stopped. With the release of these two ships, the oil shortage in India will end to some extent.

Preparations for Bihar assembly elections 2025 are going on in full swing. All political parties have intensified their loud trials. On the one hand there is a tough fight between India alliance and NDA, on the other hand, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has intensified its justice journey in Seemanchal. AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi held a press conference in Purnia on Friday (September 26, 2025) and surrounded the Modi government for the match with Pakistan.

Owaisi said that we stood in Parliament and congratulated the success of the army in the debate of Operation Sindoor and said do not play the match. PM Modi had said that water and blood cannot flow together. We stood in Parliament and said that your conscience has died, why should you play cricket?

‘What is the price of 26 people’s lives 3000 crores’
Attacking the Modi government, Owaisi said that if cricket is to be played then why stop the trade, why was the water stopped. This is hippocracy. What is the cost of the life of 26 people, tell the people of the country.

What did Owaisi say about contesting elections in Bihar
On the question of contesting elections alone in Seemanchal, Owaisi said that the game is still left. He further said that love goes on in films, one -sided love does not work in politics. On the question of I Love Mohammed, Owaisi said that this is very good. What is Anti National matter in this? When the word love is coming, what is the problem, it means you are against love.

Exclude Sheikh Hasina first- Owaisi
Regarding the question of infiltration in Bihar, the AIMIM MP said that to defame the people of Seemanchal, there is a gift like intruder. Amit Shah comes here, tell me what you were doing. This is your failure. Those who are sitting from Bangladesh (Sheikh Hasina), do it out first. Why is she living in Delhi?

What did Owaisi say about Gen Z
Regarding the vote percentage of youth in Bihar, Asaduddin Owaisi said that 58 percent of the voters in Bihar are under 25 years (GEN Z). He raised the question and said that if the voter of Gen Z is 58 percent in Bihar, then the government should think whether the benefits of the schemes reached these youth or not. Owaisi has earlier put PM Modi, Amit Shah, Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Congress all in the dock on the issue of Seemanchal.

Congress Parliamentary Party President Sonia Gandhi attacked the Modi government at the Center over the Palestine issue. He has strongly criticized the government’s stand by writing articles in The Hindu on Thursday (September 25, 2025). He wrote that India needs to demonstrate leadership on the issue of Palestine, which has now become a fight for justice, identity, honor and human rights.

Sonia Gandhi said that this style of personal diplomacy is never acceptable and it cannot be a guide to India’s foreign policy. Efforts to do so in other parts of the world, especially in the US, have failed the most painful and derogatory manner in recent months. He said that the action of the government seems to be mainly inspired by personal friendship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, not by the constitutional values ​​of India or its strategic interests.

‘India supporters of two countries solutions’
Sonia Gandhi said that India has taken theoretical stance for a long time on the serious and sensitive issue of Israel-Pilistine. Emphasis has been laid on its commitment to peace and security of human rights. He said that India was one of the countries recognizing Palestine Mukti Organization (PLO) in 1974 and has been supporting 2-country solutions continuously.

India supported several UN proposals
He said that India accepts peaceful co-existence with Israel and gives its approval to become the kingdom of Palestine. India has for years has supported several United Nations resolutions that confirmed Palestinian rights and condemn the expansion of occupation of the west coast. Also, India has also maintained diplomatic relations with Israel. India has also provided humanitarian assistance to Palestine, including scholarships, education and health help for students and capacity building for institutions of Gaza and West Coast.

‘India now almost abandoned its role’
Sonia Gandhi accused the Modi government that India has almost abandoned its role since the hostility between Israel and Palestine since October 2023 in the last two years. More than 55,000 Palestinian citizens have been killed since the attack on Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023, including 17,000 children. Gazivasis have been pushed into a famine -like situation, where the Israeli army is also obstructing extremely essential things like food, medicine and other help.

He said that both the deep silence of the Modi government, both humanity and morality are abandoned. It seems that the government’s action is inspired by personal friendship between the Prime Minister and PM Modi rather than the constitutional values ​​of India. This style of personal diplomacy is never acceptable nor can be a guide to India’s foreign policy.

Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivkumar targeted the Modi government fiercely on Tuesday (September 23, 2025). He said that there are pits in the roads in many places including the Prime Minister’s residence in the national capital Delhi. He insisted that the state government is working day and night to fill the pits in Bengaluru.

Bangalore Development Minister DK Shivkumar told the media, “We are all pits filling. We are working despite the rain. Every corporation is filling 200 pits daily in the area. About 1,000 pits are being filled in Bangalore in a single day.”

DK Shivkumar gave advice to journalists
DK Shivkumar said that I went to Delhi, so I saw the pit there. I appeal to you that you tell your journalists in Delhi to go and see how many pits are in front of the Prime Minister’s residence. I want to say the same to big IT companies. These problems are everywhere. He further said that this problem is in the whole country, it is our duty and we are doing it, but it is not right to show it only about Karnataka.

Target BJP
Taking a dig at the BJP, the Deputy CM of Karnataka said that the problem of pits in Bengaluru remained during the BJP rule. He further said that if the BJP had maintained the roads properly then this situation would not have happened. He did not do so, but we will do our work.

Let us know that the problem of pits in the IT capital of the country made headlines at the national level, when prominent people of the Indian industry expressed concern over the roads and traffic problems of Bangalore. Blackbuck CEO and co-founder Rajesh Yawaji announced that the logistics firm has now decided to go out of Bellandur after 9 years.

What did Blackbuck CEO say
He said in a post on X that it is very difficult to stay here now. We have decided to leave from here. Citing the reasons behind this big decision, he said that my colleagues take more than one and a half hours in one -way journey. Roads are full of pits and dust and there is no desire to get them fixed. There is no change in it in the next 5 years. However, Blackbuck CEO later dismissed the news of his firm leaving Bengaluru.

‘Election watchman woke up, watching theft’
Taking a dig at the Election Commission, Rahul Gandhi said that the election watchman kept awake, watching theft and saving the thieves.

He said that the Election Commission is deliberately targeting the votes of the Congress and deleting their names.

Election Commission called the allegations wrong and baseless
Rahul Gandhi also brought with him such voters from Karnataka on Thursday, whose names were deleted from the voters list. The Congress leader alleged that India’s Chief Election Commissioner Dnyanesh Kumar is protecting those who have ruined Indian democracy. He said that this is happening in Maharashtra, Haryana and UP. At the same time, the Election Commission has described Rahul Gandhi’s allegations as wrong and baseless. The Commission said that no common citizen can delete anyone’s vote online. Before deleting someone’s vote, the person concerned is given an opportunity to speak

The Modi government at the Center has taken a tough step immediately and has blocked the social media account of Austria leader and economist Gunthir Fahalinger in India. Let me tell you that Fahaulinger had recently said to break India by doing a controversial post.

During the discussion with Khalistanis, Gunthi Fahalinger also shared the map of Khalistan. He posted on X and wrote that I call for India to end and make EXIndia. Apart from this, he also said that Narendra Modi is a Russia man and we need friends for the freedom of Khalistan.

Account disabled in India
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, considering this post as serious, instructed X to block the related account in India. After this, this account has been disabled in India.

Who is Gunthir Fahalinger Yahn
Let us know that Gunthir Failinger Yahn is the President of Austrian Committee for Nato Membership of Ukraine, Kosovo, Bosnia and Austria. He is also a board member of the Regional Economic Integration Action Group of South Balkans.

What did the officer tell about Fahloinger
When the Ministry of External Affairs was asked whether the issue would be raised before the Austrian government in Vienna, a senior official said why should he be given so much importance? He is a mad person and not in any official position.

Indian users have also reacted strongly after the post of Gunthhar Fahalinger. Many people called it an attack on India’s sovereignty and unity. Please tell that Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a historic visit to Austria in July 2024. This was the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister after 41 years. PM Modi reached there on the anniversary of India-Austria’s 75-year-old diplomatic relations.
