Kerala: TTE gets down mid-bridge to release air brake of train after passenger pulls emergency chain
KOCHI: When the situation turns dire, the brave take the reins. Something along the lines happened on the Aluva Railway Bridge over the Periyar River on Tuesday, when a young Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) on board the Ernad Express got down to release the air brake that got applied after a passenger pulled the emergency chain. Speaking to TNIE , Ben Thampy, the young TTE on board Thiruvananthapuram-Mangaluru Central Ernad Express, says, I was on duty along with a senior TTE on the train up to Shornur. It so happened that when the train entered the Aluva Bridge, it came to a sudden halt. Following this, the locopilot got down and started inspecting the train to identify where the brake got applied. During the inspection, it was found that the chain had been pulled in the AC coach. According to Ben, once the emergency is applied, the only way to release it is to go to the specific coach and do it manually. And as per the standard protocol, the process has to be done by the guard. However, in this situation, the guard got isolated and couldn't reach the said coach. So, I contacted the senior TTE and sought permission to rectify it. Ben Thampy Ben was told that the process would involve removing the plate over the connection between two coaches, getting in between the small space and then releasing the brake. However, what made the entire process very risky was the fact that the train was a top of the bridge and there were big gaps. The fact that it was raining made the matter even worse. The chances of slipping and falling through the gap were high. But I was able to do the job by following the instructions passed on by the guard, he added. Ben's timely action ensured that the train didn't get delayed by much, and even the Vande Bharat Express that was coming in behind it also could keep its running time. According to Ben, every TTE is given training in the basic technical mechanics of the train to enable them to take care of situations like this.
Devdutt Padikkal Becomes Most Expensive Player At Maharaja Trophy T20 Auction For Fourth Season

Abhinav Manohar and Manish Pandey followed closely behind, attracting bids of Rs 12.20 lakh each from the Hubli Tigers and Mysuru Warriors respectively. Among the bowlers, Shivamogga Lions went big for pacer Vidwath Kaverappa at Rs 10.80 lakh while Bengaluru Blasters shelled out Rs 8.30 lakh for strike bowler Vidyadhar Patil, underlining the premium on wicket-takers this season. Mysuru Warriors placed a strong emphasis on all-rounders with the addition of K Gowtham for Rs 4.40 lakh, while Yashovardhan Parantap, was roped in for Rs 2.00 lakh.

They secured strike bowler Vidyadhar Patil for Rs 8.30 lakh. They continued to stack their batting with the fluent Rohan Patil (Rs 2.70 lakh) and spent big on spin by securing Rohan Naveen for Rs 4.25 lakh, followed by the exciting 16-year-old Madhav Prakash Bajaj for Rs 3.15 lakh. Hubli Tigers, holding the biggest purse going into the day, made big moves with the signings of Devdutt Padikkal and Abhinav Manohar. The experienced Mohammad Taha was brought in to strengthen the top order for Rs 4.60 lakh, while young pacer Samarth Nagaraj joined the ranks for Rs 3.20 lakh. Gulbarga Mystics targeted key roles with precision. They brought in wicketkeeper-batter KV Siddharth for Rs 6.10 lakh to shore up the middle order and added right-arm fast bowler Monish Reddy for Rs 4.65 lakh, giving their pace unit a boost. The Mystics were the most active in the final phase of the auction, scooping up last seasons top wicket taker, Lavish Kaushal for Rs 7.75 lakh and Nikin Jose for Rs 1 Lakh. Shivamogga Lions also made a significant investment in young all-rounder Aneeshwar Gautam for Rs 8.20 lakh. They reinforced their squad with the addition of experienced Anirudha Joshi (Rs 3.60 lakh), and leg-spinner Deepak Devadiga (Rs 1.20 lakh). Mangaluru Dragons were active from the outset, leading their haul with the high-profile signing of Shreyas Gopal for Rs 8.60 lakh. They showed faith in Melu Kranthi Kumar, splashing Rs 5.60 lakh on the all-rounder.

Months after testing negative, two Nipah survivors remain in coma in Kerala
KOZHIKODE: Emphasising the agonising nature of Nipah outbreaks in the Malabar region, two individuals, once hailed for surviving the deadly infection, remain in a vegetative state, months after being declared virus-free. The cases have raised profound concern among families and healthcare professionals, revealing a terrifying, often unseen, aftermath of the battle with the virus: A brain that simply refuses to wake up. These arent just statistics; they are lives suspended in a cruel limbo, highlighting the devastating and often unpredictable long-term neurological impact of Nipah. The region, still reeling from outbreaks in August 2023 and May 2025 across Kozhikode and Malappuram districts, now faces a new, agonising question: What does survival truly mean when the mind remains trapped? Tito Joseph is a 25-year-old Malayali from Mardala in Mangaluru. For 19 agonising months, Tito has been confined to a hospital bed, a silent testament to Nipahs insidious power. His brother, Shijo, voices the familys despair. We thought the worst was over when the virus test turned negative. My brother has not opened his eyes in over 19 months. We just want to know, will he ever wake up? Titos case is particularly perplexing. During his initial month of Nipah treatment, he endured the ordeal alone, showing no severe health concerns apart from fleeting high temperature. Our family was relaxed, Shijo recalls. But the post-Nipah period completely changed our lives. We have been living in the hope of seeing him return to life. According to doctors treating Tito, his condition is believed to be the first of its kind in the country for a Nipah survivor. Adding to this sombre reality is the case of a 42-year-old woman, whose family, seeking privacy, has chosen to keep her identity hidden. She remained on ventilator support in the intensive care unit of EMS Memorial Hospital, Perinthalmanna, before being transferred to her residence. Despite receiving two doses of monoclonal antibodies and other critical medicines as part of the states Nipah treatment protocol, her condition remains stable, with no signs of improvement or deterioration. Nipah patient remains in critical care; daughter tests negative Nipah leaves a lasting impact on brain: Doctor Both patients, after initially testing negative for the virus and being declared clinically stable, astonishingly showed neurological deterioration, slipping into a unresponsive, coma-like state. Medical teams have categorised their condition as a persistent vegetative state. While the two no longer carry the active virus, the damage inflicted by Nipahs assault on the brain and nervous system appears to be long-lasting and severe. The virus may trigger a post-infectious immune response or cause direct, irreversible damage to brain tissue, explains Dr Priya Menon, a neurologist at a private hospital in Kozhikode. The swelling or haemorrhage in certain parts of the brain can lead to coma. In some cases, despite being cured virologically, the brain does not recover. Dr Rajesh Raveendran, a prominent infectious disease expert, elaborates. Nipah is not like most viruses. It not only causes respiratory failure and encephalitis but also leaves a lasting impact on the brain. In some survivors, delayed-onset or relapsing encephalitis can occur even months later. The emotional and financial toll on these families is immense. Their initial relief at a negative virus test has been replaced by a gnawing despair, as they witness their loved ones in an unresponsive state. The state government, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), is reportedly working towards building a Nipah-specific recovery framework. Vegetative state A 42-year-old woman from Valanchery in Malappuram tested positive for Nipah in May 2025 She turned negative after 2 weeks of hospital treatment Currently, she is in a vegetative state, and takes treatment at a hospital in Perinthalmanna Tito Joseph, a nurse, contracted the virus in August 2023 while caring for a Nipah patient at a hospital in Kozhikode He tested negative in Sept 2023 After completing his quarantine in November, he started experiencing headaches and other discomfort In December 2023, Tito developed encephalitis and went into coma stage. He has been hospitalised for the past 19 months

Airlines in India hugely impacted by Middle East crisis, Air India flights taking detour via Egypt
NEW DELHI: Even as airlines are grappling with the closure of airspace in Pakistan post the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, the Israel-Iran conflict has put further stress on them. Cancellation of flights or circuitous routes has become the norm since June 13 after Israel announced the closure of its airspace. An Air India official said, The closure of airspace by Pakistan followed by Israel, Iran, Iraq and then Jordan has forced us to take a roundabout route via Egypt, which involves an additional 45 to 60 minutes travel for every flight. On the day Israel announced the closure of its airspace, we had to divert 16 flights when they were airborne. The official said, We operate an average of 50 flights (inward and outward) daily from India to the US and Europe. All of them have to go down south and fly through Egyptian air space. It has definitely increased the turnaround time for all our flights. Air India has flights to Vienna, Copenhagen, London, Zurich, Milan, Paris and Frankfurt in Europe. It also has flights to Los Angeles, Newark, New York and San Francisco in the US. Making operations tougher are the stringent tests ordered by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in the aftermath of the Ahmedabad flight accident. These tests take anywhere between four and seven hours, an official said. Operation Sindhu: First evacuation flight with Indians from Iran to land early Thursday Air India Express cancellations Though its subsidiary Air India Express does not operate beyond Iran, it was also impacted because of the crowded airspace in Dubai. An Air India Express spokesperson said, We cancelled four flights totally today. We operate two pairs of flights daily between Mangaluru and Dubai. We cancelled one pair today. There was no other reason except the heavy congestion in the air space in Dubai. Due to the closure of the Iran air space, most international airlines are now flying through the Dubai airspace. They are planned cancellations and the passenger are intimated in advance before they leave their homes, the spokesperson added. Air India Express cancelled flights on Thursday between Sharjah and Kochi, Mangaluru and Dubai, Thiruvananthapuram and Dubai, and Sharjah and Indore. IndiGo refused to reveal details about its cancellations or delayed flights and asked this reporter to speak to the Civil Aviation Ministry about it.
