Goods train derails at Panvel near Mumbai; railway traffic hit
Due to the derailment, the movement of trains on the Mumbai-Goa and Mumbai-Panvel-Karjat routes was affected
As chaos over mass cancellations continues, an IndiGo flight from Madinah to Hyderabad was diverted to Ahmedabad on Thursday following a bomb threat, PTI reported. PTI reported that the aircraft landed safely at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport around 12:30 pm, and all passengers and crew were deboarded for a thorough inspection, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 4) Atul Bansal said. Bansal said an email sent to IndiGo claimed a bomb had been planted on the aircraft. As Ahmedabad was the nearest airport, the pilot sought an immediate landing as a precaution. Local police rushed to the airport to assist the CISF and NDRF after receiving the alert. Nothing suspicious was found during the initial search, officials said, says the PTI report. IndiGos operational disruptions continued for a second day on Thursday, with widespread cancellations across major airports after more than 200 flights were scrapped on Wednesday amid crew shortages and a slowdown in the SITA check-in software. IndiGo hit by fresh wave of cancellations, day after scrapping over 200 flights While the airline did not share day-specific numbers, airport sources told TNIE that Delhi saw 91 cancellations (44 departures, 47 arrivals), Bengaluru around 70, Mumbai 86, and Chennai 26. Hyderabad reported 18 cancellations, with more expected through the day, prompting flyers to complain of delays stretching up to 12 hours and poor communication. Airport authorities in Jaipur, Chennai and Delhi added seating, counters and support staff to manage crowds. Aviation data earlier showed IndiGo had cancelled 1,232 flights in November, including 755 due to crew and FDTL constraints. Sources also pointed to an ongoing Emirates recruitment drive in Delhi and Mumbai, adding pressure on IndiGos staffing. IndiGo said the disruptions were caused by multiple operational challenges and that stabilisation measures will remain in place for 48 hours. The DGCA has summoned the airline today to present its mitigation plan.

MUMBAI: Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Nitesh Rane on Thursday wondered why environmentalists opposing the felling of trees in Nashik ahead of Kumbh Mela were never seen opposing the slaughter of goats on Eid. Rane's remarks came amid protests by civil society members against the Nashik civic body's plan to cut down more than 1,700 trees in the Tapovan area to build a 'Sadhu Gram' (settlement for religious leaders) ahead of the Kumbh Mela, which will begin in October 2026. The environmental activists who oppose tree felling at Tapovan in Nashik, were never seen opposing goat sacrifice. All religions equal? Rane said in a post on X. Meanwhile, the Opposition NCP (SP) Lok Sabha member from Dindori in Nashik district, Bhaskar Bhagare, expressed disappointment over the proposed tree felling. We are already witnessing erratic rains, flooding and extreme weather conditions in the last few years. In such a situation, cutting down so many trees is unacceptable, he said, adding that he has written to Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav on the issue. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said the government would ensure no harm to the environment. He said some people are trying to create hurdles for the Nashik Kumbh Mela, while certain individuals have suddenly become environmentalists for political reasons. Notably, actor Sayaji Shinde, a member of the Deputy CM Ajit Pawars NCP, which is part of the ruling coalition, has said he would oppose the government if it were adamant on removing the trees. Pawar on Wednesday called for a conciliatory approach to resolve the issue, saying that maintaining environmental balance is as important as development. Local Hindu organisations along with political parties have also joined the protests against the planned tree felling in the Tapovan area of Nashik. Activists of the Hindu Mahasabha recited the Hanuman Chalisa in Tapovan a few days back, while the supporters of some other Hindu organisations pasted posters with the slogan `Jai Shriram, Jai Hanuman' on the trees marked for removal by the Nashik Municipal Corporation. Some of them also invoked the local belief that Lord Ram and Sita lived in Tapovan during their exile, and called for protecting the trees for the sake of religious sentiments. School children staged demonstrations in Tapovan on Wednesday, carrying placards with pro-conservation messages. Local leaders and workers of the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also joined the agitation.
Bombay HC grants bail to former DU professor Hany Babu in Elgar case after five years
MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Thursday granted bail to former Delhi University professor Hany Babu, more than five years after his arrest in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case. A division bench of Justices A S Gadkari and Ranjitsinha Bhosale allowed the bail plea of Babu. The detailed order was not available yet. The HC refused the request of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to stay the bail for enabling it to appeal before the Supreme Court. Hany Babu had sought bail primarily on the ground of prolonged incarceration without trial. His counsel, Yug Mohit Chaudhary, had also argued that the charges were yet to be framed and their discharge application was still pending before the trial court. The NIA has accused Hany Babu of being a co-conspirator in propagating Maoist activities and ideology on the instructions of leaders of the banned CPI (Maoist) organisation. He was arrested in July 2020 in the case and was lodged at the Taloja prison in Navi Mumbai. The case relates to alleged inflammatory speeches delivered at the Elgar Parishad conclave, held at Shaniwarwada in Pune on December 31, 2017, which police claimed triggered violence the next day near the Koregaon Bhima war memorial located on the city's outskirts. One person was killed and several others were injured in the violence. The case, in which more than a dozen activists and academicians had been named accused, was initially probed by the Pune police and later taken over by the NIA.

IndiGo hit by fresh wave of cancellations, day after scrapping over 200 flights
Disruptions to IndiGo's operations continued on Thursday as the carrier cancelled services across several airports, a day after it scrapped more than 200 flights and delayed many others amid a nationwide crew shortage. As many as 33 outbound and 35 inbound IndiGo flights are expected to be cancelled from Hyderabad on Thursday, according to sources at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. More than 30 flights scheduled to depart from Delhi were also cancelled early Thursday, while Bengaluru airport said 73 IndiGo services were scrubbed and several flights were dropped in Mumbai as well. IndiGo cancelled 19 flights from Hyderabad on Wednesday. We have been at Hyderabad Airport from yesterday at 6:00 PM until today at 9:00 AMover 12 hourswith no action taken by IndiGo regarding the Pune flight. This situation has caused significant inconvenience, a netizen said in a post on Thursday. Total chaos at Hyderabad airport today... flights delayed 12+ hours. To not give accommodation, they kept pushing it by just 2 more hours every single time for 12 hours. Same excuse: crew is coming soon. Unacceptable, another flyer said. The RGAI in a statement on Wednesday said some IndiGo flights at the airport have been impacted due to airline-related technology and operational issues, resulting in delays and cancellations. Requesting the passengers to contact IndiGo's customer service team directly for the latest updates on flight status, the airport, however, said operations at RGIA remain normal. The airline, which operates over 2,200 flights daily, has scored a mere 35% on the punctuality front in operations on December 2 (Tuesday), reveals data released by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. This is the worst score among all the leading airlines assessed. An official release from the aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday said a total of 1,232 flights had been cancelled by Indigo in November with 755 of them cancelled due to crew and Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) constraints. Sources The New Indian Express spoke to stated that Indigo is facing a severe shortage of both cockpit and cabin crew and said it is due to a massive recruitment drive by international airline Emirates at Delhi and Mumbai this week. However, Indigo attributed the significant disruption to multiple reasons, including unforeseen operational challenges. Pilots say IndiGo's pay freeze, winter route expansion without new hires caused current woes

Chocing it up to taste: craft chocolate festival in Bengaluru to celebrate homegrown brands
The rich, creamy taste of chocolate melting on the tongue blends with the sweet memories of birthdays, Valentines days, anniversaries and holidays we hold dear whether your treat of choice is bitter and dark, creamy and milky or nut-filled and full of surprising textures. While most people may think of Belgian or Swiss chocolates as being the best you can get, in recent years, Indian craft chocolate has emerged and wooed the palates of Indian chocolate lovers. The Indian Cacao and Craft Chocolate Festival, set to be held this weekend, seeks to bring together craft chocolate brands from all over the country. But what makes craft chocolate so special? Ketaki Churi, the co-founder of The Indian Cacao and Craft Chocolate Festival answers that it lies in making an ethical choice while also prioritising health and quality. There is an abundance of nuanced flavours that get overwhelmed in mass produced chocolate because of heavy sweetening and artificial flavouring. Cacao is also a superfood with numerous health benefits; craft chocolate makers often use the highest quality beans purchased at higher prices from farmers, compared to the lower quality beans purchased at cheap prices by mass brands. She adds, The festival is a celebration where one can experience how chocolate is made, try different kinds of chocolate from brands across India and stock up on chocolate for the whole year! The chocolate available at the festival is bean to bar (brands who purchase cacao beans) and farm to bar (brands that grow their own cacao), with over 50 workshops catering to everyone from cacao farmers, chocolatiers, culinary students, to curious kids and Bengalureans with a sweet tooth. This is with the aim of facilitating an understanding of the processes behind craft chocolate and cultivating an appreciation for it, apart from just sampling the treats. Some highlights are a cheese and chocolate tasting session and a tea and chocolate pairing session. There are also a lot of events specifically for kids so they can understand what real chocolate is all about, says Churi. Other workshops include ones on making your own craft chocolate, tracing the history of cacao, and learning how to start your own chocolate brand. Over four years, the festival has grown into a place for people involved in different steps of the chocolate making process to collaborate. This year will showcase the fruits of two of these collaborations. Pascati from Mumbai and Grover Wines from Bengaluru are collaborating on a new chocolate bar which they will launch at the festival and which people can taste only here. We also have a brand called Bon Fiction from Andhra Pradesh collaborating with Dona Aideau, a tea sommelier from Assam, to make tea-infused chocolate, also available only at the festival. Pastry chefs are also coming in with desserts made with craft chocolate that are usually not available on their menu or their shops. (The festival will be held at Sabha, Kamaraj Road on December 5, 6, and 7. Timings vary. For details and tickets, visit craftchocolateindia.com)
