Only 3-4 countries operate hydrogen trains; India's is worlds most powerful: PM Modi
Jind (Haryana), July 17: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India's first hydrogen-powered train, flagged off between Jind and Sonipat, is the world's most powerful hydrogen train, asserting that the country's indigenous railway technology has placed India among a select group of nations operating hydrogen-powered trains. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi flagged off India's first hydrogen-powered train between Jind and Sonipat, marking a significant step towards clean and sustainable mobility in the railway sector. He also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth around Rs 14,700 crore in Jind in the presence of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Addressing a public gathering in Jind after flagging off the train, Modi said hydrogen train technology has emerged globally only in the last seven to eight years and is currently operational in only three or four countries. Hydrogen trains have only recently arrived on the global stage. They came into existence just seven or eight years ago. Currently, only three or four countries possess the capability to operate hydrogen trains, and even in those nations, the technology is still in its early stages. However, hearing about the capabilities of India's hydrogen train will fill you and every Indian with pride, the Prime Minister said. He said the hydrogen train flagged off from Jind is powered by a 3,200-horsepower propulsion system, making it the world's most powerful hydrogen-powered train, and added that it is also India's longest hydrogen-powered train. The hydrogen train running from Jind is the most powerful hydrogen train in the world. This train is 3,200 horsepower, and it is not only the most powerful but also the longest hydrogen train in India, Modi said. Drawing a comparison with the evolution of railway technology, the Prime Minister said the 19th century belonged to steam engines, the 20th century to diesel and electric trains, and the 21st century would be defined by hydrogen-powered rail transport. Highlighting the transformation of Indian Railways, Modi said only around 30 per cent of the country's rail network had been electrified between 1925 and 2014, whereas nearly 99 per cent has been electrified over the past 12 years. He said the expansion of electrification has ensured uninterrupted railway operations despite global conflicts and oil supply disruptions. The electrification of Indian Railways began in 1925, meaning about 100 years ago. From 1925 to 2014, in about 90 years, only about 30% of the country's rail network could be electrified. 70% of the region ran on diesel. But in the last 12 years, about 99% of India's rail network has been electrified. In Haryana, the rail network has achieved 100% electrification. Because of this, even despite conflicts and oil crises, India's trains have not stopped; India's vehicle of development has not stalled, said PM Modi. The Prime Minister also highlighted the inauguration of key infrastructure projects in Haryana, including the Haryana section of the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway, the Jind-Gohana National Highway and the Ambala-Kala Amb four-lane road, saying improved connectivity would further accelerate development in the state. Be it rail or road... such connectivity work not only provides convenience but also multiplies the pace of development several times over. Today, Jind is connecting to so many highways. From this platform, three major projects have just been launched. The inauguration of the Haryana section of the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway has taken place, and the Jind-Gohana National Highway has also been dedicated to the nation. In addition, the Ambala-Kala Amb four-lane road will provide great convenience to the people of Haryana and Himachal, he said. Referring to his recent visits to Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand, Modi said India would work closely with Australia and New Zealand in areas such as the sports industry and athlete training to benefit athletes across the country, particularly in Haryana. He also highlighted initiatives such as the National Sports Policy, the 'Khelo Bharat' policy, the Khelo India campaign and the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS), saying they are providing athletes with unprecedented support and opportunities. You all know that I returned from a trip to Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand just a few days ago. There, India signed several agreements, which have been widely discussed. However, there is one subject that has not been discussed as much. This subject is related to the youth of my country, and especially of Haryana. That subject is sports. I had extensive discussions with the governments of Australia and New Zealand regarding sports. Together with these two countries, we are going to do a lot of work in areas like the sports industry and athlete training, which will greatly benefit the athletes of the country and Haryana, said PM Modi. Our government has also created a new National Sports Policy... the 'Khelo Bharat' policy. From the 'Khelo India' campaign to the TOPS Scheme, today athletes are receiving unprecedented facilities. I had extensive discussions with the governments of Australia and New Zealand regarding sports. Together with these two countries, we are going to do a lot of work in areas like the sports industry and athlete training, which will greatly benefit the athletes of the country and Haryana, he added.

London, July 17: Actor Aamir Khan has clarified that his 2009 blockbuster '3 Idiots' was not inspired by climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, while also expressing concern over Wangchuk's ongoing hunger strike. Speaking at a public event hosted by the London Indian Film Festival, Aamir addressed the long-standing assumption that Wangchuk's life inspired the character of Phunsukh Wangdu in '3 Idiots'. That's not true. That is a misconception. I didn't know about Sonam Wangchuk at that time while we were working on the film '3 Idiots'. I recently saw the video of Chatur. He is wrong. Maybe that is what Chatur was thinking. But neither Rajukumar Hirani nor Abhijat Joshi, who were the two writers, really know about Sonam Wangchuk, Aamir said, while referring to a video message recently shared by co-star Omi Vaidya. During the interaction, Aamir was also asked about Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike. The actor expressed concern for the activist's health and said he hoped the fast would conclude soon. All of us are very concerned about his health and his life. We hope that it ends well. All of us are hoping that he ends his fast, the actor said. The London Indian Film Festival has returned for its 17th year with a rich array of cutting-edge new cinema premieres from India and around South Asia. Actor Aamir Khan attended the event on July 16 in London, where he engaged in a special on-stage conversation. Actor Omi Vaidya, best known for his performance as 'Chatur' in Aamir Khan starrer '3 Idiots', recently shared his concerns over Wangchuk's health deterioration. Noting that he doesn't want 'Phunsukh Wangdu' to die, Vaidya, in a video message, shared how Aamir Khan's '3 Idiots' character is based on real-life Sonam Wangchuk. I've met this guy. He's a pretty interesting character. He has done some incredible stuff in his life, and he seems pretty humble. I suggest you look him up and see what he's up to because right now he is on a very long hunger strike, he said in the video. Wangchuk, an engineer, education reformer and climate activist from Ladakh, has been on an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to press for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan following nationwide examination irregularities and the high-profile NEET paper leak controversy. Meanwhile, Wangchuk's health parameters as of 9:30 am on July 17 showed his weight at 56.55 kg, a reduction of 350 grams in 24 hours. Blood pressure was 108/68, blood sugar 70 mg/dL, and pulse rate 72 per minute. (ANI)

We want more!: Singaporean envoy to India Simon Wong welcomes 1st shipment of J&K cherries, plums
New Delhi, July 17: Singapore High Commissioner to India Simon Wong on Friday welcomed the arrival of the first shipment of cherries and plums from Jammu and Kashmir to Singapore, hailing the expansion of agricultural trade between the two countries and expressing hope for such exports. In a post on X, Wong said, Following Litchis and mangoes, Singapore is finally getting its first taste of cherries and plums from #Jammu #Kashmir. Thank you @APEDADOC and Hon'ble @CM_JnK. We want MORE! The High Commissioner thanked the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for facilitating the export of the fruits. Earlier on July 13, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that India's agricultural and processed food exports are expanding their global footprint, with products from different states entering new international markets and helping farmers secure better returns. In a social media post, Goyal highlighted a series of export achievements spanning fresh fruits, millet-based foods and processed food products, saying India's produce is increasingly finding acceptance across global markets. India's exports are on a roll. From local farms to international shelves, India's finest flavours are winning hearts worldwide, the minister said. According to Goyal, fresh Amrapali mangoes from Jharkhand made their international debut in the United Kingdom and Dubai. The mangoes were grown by an all-women farmer-producer company, helping women farmers earn 180 per cent higher returns. He shared that the botanical-infused millet functional foods from Karnataka were exported to New Zealand, adding that India's traditional millet-based products are now gaining popularity in international markets. He also highlighted that the premium Areco cherries and Centros plums from Jammu and Kashmir reached Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE, enabling farmers to earn up to 120 per cent higher returns. In another first, Himalayan litchis from Uttarakhand were exported to Italy, opening a new market for the state's fruit growers. He shared that the fresh litchis from Punjab also entered the Oman market under the India-Oman Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), while GI-tagged Tezpur litchi from Assam reached Dubai, fetching premium prices for growers. Minister also pointed out that the GI-tagged Rewa Sundarja mango from Madhya Pradesh was exported to the UAE, with farmers receiving around 40 to 50 per cent higher prices than those available in local markets. According to the minister, premium Banganapalli mangoes from Andhra Pradesh were transported to Singapore by sea for the first time, demonstrating the growing acceptance of Indian fruits in overseas markets. From the farms of Assam to the orchards of Kashmir, from Varanasi's food industry to Karnataka's millet innovators, the world is embracing the taste of India, the minister noted. (ANI)

CJP Protest: I will stay alive till July 20 at any cost, says Wangchuk; Pawan Khera visits agitators
New Delhi, Jul 17: Educator and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk on Friday asserted that he would stay alive till July 20 at any cost, even as his indefinite hunger strike entered its 20th day amid a warning from doctors that his prolonged fast has reached a critical stage. As the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) agitation at Jantar Mantar against alleged examination irregularities entered its 28th day on Friday, Congress leader Pawan Khera became the latest political leader to visit Wangchuk and other protesters to express his solidarity. Addressing supporters at the protest site, Wangchuk acknowledged his weakening physical condition but said his resolve remained unshaken. I am weak from the outside but very strong inside. I am sure all of you are strong from the inside, and outside too. We need this energy for July 20, when we will take out a peaceful march to Parliament. We will go together and present our plea in the temple of democracy, he said. I will stay alive till July 20 at any cost. If you don't come and July 20 is not successful, I will come back as a ghost, he said in a lighter vein, drawing cheers from the gathering. Wangchuk lost another 350 grams over the last 24 hours, taking his cumulative weight loss to about 9.5 kg. According to the health bulletin issued by the medical team attending to him, Wangchuk now weighs 56.55 kg. His blood pressure was recorded at 108/68 mm Hg, blood sugar at 80 mg/dL, pulse rate at 72 beats per minute and oxygen saturation at 96 per cent. Doctors said he showed signs of mild dehydration but remained mentally alert. On Thursday, doctors had warned that his condition had entered a critical stage due to the prolonged fast and that the next phase could be alarming, with the possibility of organ damage if the hunger strike continued. Wangchuk, however, had refused to call off the fast, saying that ending it without any response from the government would send a wrong message. He maintained that the focus should now be on making the July 20 Parliament march a success. The issue has also reached the Delhi High Court, which directed authorities to monitor Wangchuk's health daily and provide medical assistance if his condition deteriorates. The health of others on hunger strike has deteriorated as well. The CPI(ML) Liberation-affiliated All India Students' Association (AISA) said the condition of its activists Neha, Manish and Aameen, who have also been on an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, had reached severe stages. According to the organisation, Aameen is at risk of hypovolemic shock due to dehydration, Neha's blood sugar level has dropped to a dangerous 49 mg/dL and Manish has lost more than 10 per cent of his body weight. AISA said the three students would continue the fast in solidarity with Wangchuk despite their worsening condition. Political support for the CJP's agitation continued to grow, with Congress leader Pawan Khera visiting Wangchuk and other protesters at Jantar Mantar on Friday. Khera's visit came a day after Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav met the hunger strikers and urged the Centre to initiate dialogue, and after Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, Trinamool Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav reached out to express concern over Wangchuk's health and extend support to the proposed Parliament march. Over the last week, the agitation has also drawn support from actor Prakash Raj; former Delhi chief minister Atishi; TMC MPs Mahua Moitra and Sagarika Ghose; CPI(M) MP Amra Ram; veteran CPI(M) leader Subhashini Ali; former Kerala ministers K K Shailaja, Thomas Isaac, K N Balagopal and P Rajeev; Tripura Leader of Opposition Jitendra Chaudhury; Samajwadi Party MPs Pushpendra Saroj and Priya Saroj; Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant; NCP MLA Rohit Pawar; and Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Gurnam Singh Charuni. A group of eminent citizens, including writer Arundhati Roy, actors Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah, economist Jayati Ghosh and several academics, have also backed the protesters' demands while appealing to Wangchuk to end his fast. The CJP has been demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Rs 1 crore compensation for the families of students who allegedly died by suicide over alleged examination irregularities. The outfit has called for a peaceful march to Parliament on July 20, coinciding with the opening day of the monsoon Session. The CJP protest began on June 20, while Wangchuk joined the agitation on June 28 and has remained on an indefinite hunger strike ever since.
