  • Thiruvananthapuram Airport To Halt Flights For 5 Hours On Nov 9 – Here’s Why | Mobility News

    Thiruvananthapuram Airport To Halt Flights For 5 Hours On Nov 9: Flight services from the international airport at Thiruvananthapuram will be suspended for five hours on November 9 to make way for ‘Alpassi Arattu’ procession of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple here, TIAL said on Saturday. The annual procession is traditionally taken on a route crossing the runway.

    The Thiruvananthapuram International Airport Ltd (TIAL) said the flight services would be suspended from 4 pm to 9 pm on November 9. It said the updated timings of the flights are available with the respective airlines.

    “The runway at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport remains closed twice a year for the Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple procession to pass through. The practice of the procession traversing the current path to reach the Shangumugham Beach for the holy bath of the idols began centuries ago.

    “This ritual continues even after the airport was established in 1932, ensuring that the culture and traditions of the region remain intact,” TIAL said in a release.

    The airport has been pausing operations and rescheduling flights twice every year for decades to enable the bi-annual, centuries-old ceremonial procession of the shrine to pass through the runway.

    When the airport was constructed here, the then Travancore King Sree Chithira Thirunal had made it clear that the facility would be open to public for 363 days in a year and two days for Lord Padmanabha, the titular deity of the royal family, historians say.

    The royal era ritual has been continuing even after the Adani Group took over the management of the airport. The airport issues a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) twice every year before the runway is closed during the bi-annual Alpassi festival which falls in October-November and the Painkuni festival in March-April.

  • Why Meta-Owned WhatsApp Bans More Than 8.5 Million Accounts In India In September?; Know Reason

    Whatsapp Bans Indian Accounts: In a significant move, Meta-owned WhatsApp has imposed bans on numerous accounts in India, aiming to enhance user safety and combat the misuse of its platform. This action comes amid rising concerns over privacy and security, prompting the messaging giant to take a firm stand against abusive practices.

    To avoid such malicious actions, the instant messaging platform banned more than 8.5 million “bad” accounts in India in September for violating its policies. Between September 1 and September 30, the company banned 8,584,000 accounts, of which 1,658,000 were proactively banned before any reports from users, according to the social media platform’s monthly compliance report under the new IT Rules 2021.

    The popular mobile messaging platform, which has more than 600 million users in India, received 8,161 grievances from the country, and the records “actioned” were 97. The term “actioned” refers to complaints where WhatsApp took remedial action.

    WhatsApp also received two orders from the Grievance Appellate Committee in the country and complied with both, according to its monthly compliance report.

    “We will continue with transparency to our work and include information about our efforts in future reports,” said the company. It employs a team of engineers, data scientists, analysts, researchers, and experts in law enforcement, online safety, and technology developments to oversee these efforts.

    “We enable users to block contacts and to report problematic content and contacts to us from inside the app. We pay close attention to user feedback and engage with specialists in stemming misinformation, promoting cybersecurity, and preserving election integrity,” said WhatsApp.

    The abuse detection operates at three stages of an account’s lifestyle: at registration, during messaging, and in response to negative feedback, which we receive in the form of user reports and blocks.

    A team of analysts augments these systems to evaluate edge cases and help improve our effectiveness over time. Between August 1, 2024 and August 31, 2024, 8,458,000 WhatsApp accounts were banned, 1,661,000 of these accounts were proactively banned, before any reports from users.

    It also received 10,707 grievances from the country in August, and the records “actioned” were 93. (With IANS Inputs)

  • ‘Infiltrators Luring Our Daughters…’: Shah Attacks Hemant Soren At Jharkhand BJP Manifesto Launch |

    Union Home Minister Amit Shah unveiled the Bharatiya Janata Party’s manifesto for the upcoming Jharkhand elections in Ranchi today. Shah arrived in the state capital last night. He introduced the ‘sankalp patra,’ which details 25 pledges symbolising 25 years since Jharkhand’s formation. 

    At the launch of the BJP’s manifesto in Jharkhand, Shah launched a scathing attack at Chief Minister Hemant Soren, saying that women and tribal communities are unsafe under the ruling JMM’s regime.  

    Amit Shah blamed Hemant Soren for ‘infiltrators surge in Jharkhand’, saying, “During Hemant Soren’s government, the tribals of Jharkhand are not safe. The number of tribals in Santhal Pargana is decreasing at an alarming rate. Infiltrators are coming here and luring our daughters into marrying them and occupying their land. 

    He further emphasised that the BJP is moving forward with the slogan “Roti, Beti, Maati” to ensure the security of Jharkhand’s pride and identity that the Hemant Soren-led government has failed to do. 

    The union minister credited former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for creating the identity of state and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for driving its growth. He claimed that Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s government, which took over five years ago, stalled many initiatives started by Modi’s administration. “Our former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee created Jharkhand,” Shah stated, “and Prime Minister Modi focused on developing it.”  

    The Congress party was not spared from Home Minister’s sharp attacks, “Whenever I speak about the ‘Sankalp Patra,’ it’s clear that the BJP stands apart from other political parties. The BJP is the only party in the country that truly delivers on its promises. Every time we’ve come to power, whether at the Centre or in the states, we’ve made good on our commitments,” Amit Shah added. 

    Jharkhand BJP’s Poll Manifesto

    Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is elected to power in Jharkhand, it will generate 500,000 job opportunities, including 287,000 government positions. The party presented 25 resolutions to commemorate 25 years since the state’s establishment. Notably, the “Gogo Didi” scheme is set to provide women with a monthly allowance of ₹2,100. 

    “Our government will introduce UCC in Jharkhand but tribals will be kept out of its ambit. The JMM government is making false propaganda that UCC will impact tribal rights and culture, which is totally baseless as they will be kept out of its ambit,” Shah said in Ranchi. 

    The state’s 81-member Assembly election will be held in two phases, scheduled for November 13 and 20, with the vote counting and results set for November 23.
