In a significant spiritual gesture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Veerbhadra Temple in Lepakshi, Andhra Pradesh, a place of profound importance in the Hindu epic Ramayana. This pilgrimage comes just days before the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony of the much-anticipated Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

In response to the recent chaos caused by fog-related flight disruptions at Delhi airport, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued new guidelines to address denied boarding, flight cancellations, and delays. The standard operating procedure (SOP) empowers airlines to cancel flights that are likely to be delayed or "consequentially delayed" beyond three hours.

In a shocking incident, a passenger onboard an IndiGo flight (6E-2175) from Delhi to Goa physically assaulted the aircraft's co-captain while he was addressing passengers about delays caused by heavy fog. The assailant, identified as Sahil Kataria, was promptly arrested and later released on bail.
