Washington: The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to enforce a controversial new deportation policy that could see migrants removed from the country with as little as six hours’ notice, even without guarantees of safety from the receiving nations. This marks a sharp departure from past practices, sparking widespread concern among immigration advocates, legal experts, and human rights groups.

The ruling effectively allows the U.S. government…

NEW DELHI: As investigations continue into last month’s devastating Air India Boeing 787-8 crash that claimed 271 lives, including 30 on the ground, both the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and aircraft manufacturer Boeing have stated that the aircraft’s fuel control switch locks are safe and do not warrant any design changes or regulatory directives.

PANAJI: Union Minister and North Goa MP Shripad Naik strongly defended the naming of the newly launched RoRo ferries Gangotri and Dwarka, calling them symbols of Indian culture and heritage. Responding to criticism allegedly made by the Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) President, Naik said, “Gangotri and Dwarka are respected worldwide, not just in India. These are not outsider names; they belong to our own Hindustan.” Naik further added that if the GPCC President considers such names to be “outsider,” then “he’s not worth calling an Indian.” The remarks come amid political friction following the launch of the two zero-emission…
