Kerala intensifies Nipah hunt; forest department joins NIV to trace bat source

KOZHIKODE: Forest department has joined hands with the National Institute of Virology (NIV) in a mission to identify the source of the deadly Nipah virus in the state. The move comes as Kerala is grappling with another Nipah outbreak in the Palakkad and Malappuram districts. The plan is to conduct extensive tests and collect samples from bats, which have long been suspected as the primary reservoir for the virus. Forest Minister A K Saseendran has pledged the departments support, ensuring NIV officials access to the forest areas. Forest personnel will actively assist in the meticulous collection of bat samples, a critical step in understanding the viruss prevalence and transmission pathways. The chief wildlife warden has already issued directives to all circle chief conservators and DFOs across the department in this regard. Despite recurrent Nipah outbreaks in Kerala since 2018, which have often resulted in high fatality rates, the precise point of spillover from bats to humans has frequently remained unclear. The confirmed Nipah cases in Palakkad and Malappuram, with samples dispatched to NIV Pune for validation, have amplified the need for this comprehensive investigation. Previous surveillance efforts have detected Nipah virus RNA and antibodies in Pteropus medius bats (fruit bats) in affected regions. Experts from NIV highlight that bats are known reservoirs of numerous highly-infectious viruses, including Nipah, Ebola, and Marburg. The transmission of Nipah from bats to humans typically occurs through the ingestion of fresh date palm sap contaminated with Nipah virus (NiV), consumption of partially eaten fruits, or contact with infected domestic animals.

Mortal remains of Flt Lt Rishi Raj Singh, who died in Jaguar crash, consigned to flames in Pali

The mortal remains of Flight Lieutenant Rishi Raj Singh, who died in a crash of a Jaguar fighter plane during a routine sortie near Churu in Rajasthan, were consigned to flames at his ancestral village in the state's Pali district on Thursday evening amid full military honours and slogans. Twenty-three-year-old Singh was one of the two Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots who were killed in the crash on Wednesday. He was flying with Squadron Leader Lokendra Singh Sindhu, who hailed from Kheri Sadh village in Haryana's Rohtak. Singh's mortal remains first reached Jodhpur Air Force station from Suratgarh on Thursday afternoon. Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat offered floral tributes at the Air Force station. From Jodhpur, the mortal remains were taken to Sirohi by a helicopter and then to his village by road, where the entire Khivandi village including family members, relatives, Air Force officers and administrative officials gathered in solemn grief to receive him for the final rites. For the inconsolable mother and father, it was hard to believe their eyes that the son, for whom they had been searching a suitable match and dreaming of seeing him on horseback in his 'barat' (wedding procession), now lay motionless on the pyre amid the flames. Those present called it the most cruel joke of the Almighty. As the news of Singh's martyrdom spread, relatives and villagers began assembling at his village house from Wednesday to console the parents, who are yet to come to terms with the rudest shock. He was the pride of our family. With his career firmly in place, we had begun preparing for the next chapter of his life, hoping to see him married within a year or two. But now, everything has come to an end, said his uncle Hitpal Singh. Holding age-old fighter planes responsible for the loss of pilots, he questioned why such old machines are being allowed to be operated at the cost of Indian pilots. He termed the loss both personal as well as national. According to a family member Pratap Singh, Rishi Raj Singh was fascinated by fighter planes from childhood and always wanted to become a fighter pilot. He was brilliant in studies and after completing his schooling from Jodhpur, he appeared in the entrance examination for NDA. After selection, he went on to join NDA in Pune and chose the Air Force to realise his dream to become a flyer, he said. Rishi Raj Singh is survived by his father Jaswant Singh, a hotelier; his mother Bhanwar Kanwar, a homemaker; and his younger brother Yuvraj Singh, who is pursuing his senior secondary education in Jodhpur. IAF pilot Lokendra Singh Sindhu killed in Rajasthan jet crash had become a father a month ago

Armys first regiment of long-range ATAGS artillery guns to be ready by February 2027

PUNE/AHMEDNAGAR: The Indian Armys plan to induct long-range indigenous artillery systems are in advanced stages, with the Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) ready for its first product model test, while the Mounted Gun System (MGS) technology demonstrator is awaiting trial. The first gun system is ready for the mandatory first of product model test. The first regiment of 18 ATAGS will be inducted within a year thereafter, said RP Pandey, Project Director (PD) of ATAGS, speaking to The New Indian Express . The gun has a proven range of over 45 kilometres and can be deployed in 85 seconds, Pandey said at the DRDOs Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) in Pune. He added that the gun can be deployed in 90 seconds and has been tested up to a range of 48 kilometres. Its wider arc of fire enables more destructive capabilities. The procurement of this system marks a significant milestone in the modernisation of the Armys artillery regiments and is expected to enhance operational readiness. In March, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) signed contracts for the procurement of 307 ATAGS 155mm/52 calibre guns and 327 high-mobility 6x6 gun towing vehicles, at a cost of around 6,900 crore. The ATAGS and towing vehicles will be procured from Bharat Forge Limited and Tata Advanced Systems Limited, respectively. The ATAGS will replace older, smaller calibre guns and enhance the Indian Armys artillery capabilities. The ministry said, ATAGS, renowned for its exceptional lethality, will play a crucial role in bolstering the Armys firepower by enabling precise and long-range strikes. Taking the proven capabilities of ATAGS further, DRDOs Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (VRDE) in Ahmednagar has developed the first technology demonstrator of the Mounted Gun System. The MGS is a cross-country truck-mounted heavy artillery system (based on the 155mm/52 calibre ATAGS) with shoot-and-scoot capability. It has been developed indigenously with contributions from Indian industry, defence PSUs, and premier academic institutions, under DRDOs leadership. Artillery systems are typically used for indirect fire and are crucial in modern military operations due to their ability to strike targets deep inside enemy territory, operate in all weather conditions, function day and night, and use various types of ammunition. However, once fired, these guns can reveal their position and become targets for enemy artillery. Mobility is therefore key. By adding mobility, the guns can fire and relocate quickly a shoot and scoot capability enhancing both survivability and lethality. Bharat Kushwaha, Design Leader of the MGS project, told The New Indian Express that high-mobility artillery was a technology gap which needed to be addressed. The Mounted Gun System (MGS) was a viable solution. A vehicle carrying the Mounted Gun System technology of the Indian army is seen here. To that end, VRDE undertook a technology demonstrator project to design and develop a 155mm/52 calibre MGS based on ATAGS. The gun has been adapted onto an 8x8 cross-country wheeled vehicle with stabilisers and supporting interface structures. The project has introduced state-of-the-art technologies in carrier vehicles, stabilisers, armoured cabins, ammunition handling cranes, on-board power systems, and integrated compact electronic controllers. The MGS offers high mobility, including gradient, side-slope, trench-crossing and cross-country capabilities, and can operate in both desert and mountainous terrain. This system can be rapidly deployed with mechanised forces, destroy enemy targets, and move before facing retaliatory fire. Both ATAGS and MGS have over 80% indigenous content. Except for the auto gun alignment and positioning system, muzzle velocity radar, and some types of batteries, everything else is indigenous, said an official. The ATAGS can be deployed in 90 seconds to fire its first shell, while the MGS can do so in 80 seconds. Army requirements are expected to grow. G. Ramamohana Rao, Director of VRDE, said, Initially, the Army needs 300 such guns, but the total requirement may rise to 700. With the modern systems now ready for induction, DRDO has begun working on indigenising remaining components and developing advanced ammunition. This includes shells fitted with ramjets and inertial guidance systems to improve range and precision

According to doctors, the Plus-II student was brain dead when she was brought to the hospital. As many as 43 healthcare workers who came in contact with the girl have been quarantined. The patient from Palakkad is currently on ventilator support. The woman developed fever nearly 20 days ago and sought treatment at two places a local clinic near her home in Palode and a facility in Karingillathani. Her movement across multiple clinics has expanded the scope of contact tracing and risk assessment, said a senior health officer from Palakkad. According to the health department, 211 people from Malappuram, 91 from Palakkad and 43 from Kozhikode are in the contact list of the two persons. Nipah: High alert in Malappuram, Kozhikode and Palakkad districts Amid concerns of the virus spread, the health minister said any unnatural deaths reported during this period must be thoroughly investigated to rule out possible Nipah links. To strengthen surveillance and containment efforts, 26 rapid response committees have been formed in each of the three districts. Police assistance will also be sought to prepare detailed contact tracing lists. Public announcements have been mandated in all containment zones to inform residents about restrictions and precautions. The district collectors have been directed to lead local containment and monitoring operations. Both state and district-level helplines will be activated for public aid and updates. As a precautionary measure, Kozhikode Collector Snehil Kumar Singh, who is also the chairperson of the District Disaster Management Authority, has ordered allocation of a section of a pay ward at the Kozhikode MCH to admit suspected Nipah patients.

Serving over the rainbow: queer badminton league in Bengaluru this weekend

A lot of queer people dont get the chance to play sports in their childhood because of issues like bullying, stigma, or strict gender roles and grow up thinking they cant play sports, points out Sunil Kumar, one of the organisers at Game Point. Born from this experience of being othered in sports, this group of queer Bengalureans and allies get together each weekend to play badminton together in a safe and inclusive environment, redefining their relationship with sports. Queer Badminton League, set to take place on July 5 and 6 at Game Theory, Indiranagar, is a crowning moment for a year of their efforts. As Kumar explains, Some of us could have been sportspeople, but that reality will never be realised. We started the league to give people that experience of professional sports. Eight seven-member teams are set to compete across singles, doubles, and trump matches, in the league which is in its third edition. While professional leagues are cut-throat and priortise the best players, Kumar notes that this community leagues priority is to give every player a chance. Its not just the best players who get to play, and are winning every time the idea is to form a team of seven or eight people from our pool with a mix of amateurs and really good players. This community spirit also comes through in the groups open door policy for both members of the queer community and allies. We call ourselves a queer badminton group but at the meeting itself, nobody is asked about their sexuality, because it can be a very fluid thing. People can have difficulty in explaining where they belong and labels can be quite confusing. Our motto is that everybody is allowed to participate be it as volunteers, the audience, or sponsors, asserts Kumar. While it started out as a local event with players from different areas in Bengaluru, the league has grown to include players from different states, some travelling to take part. We started locally with just people from Whitefield and Indiranagar playing together. But this year, we have people coming from seven cities smaller cities around Karnataka, Chennai, Vijayawada, Pune, Mumbai, and one person from Indore, notes Kumar. With each team sponsored by a different queer-owned business or businesses who are allies to the community, and part of the proceeds going to two causes supporting individuals with HIV and the deaf community, the league aims to both build relationships within the community and also give back to it. Reflecting on the impact this space has had, Kumar says, People who had just started playing in the first or second season, have been regular in practising throughout the year. I know a lot of people who have been living in the city for years but have no friends. But once they start playing, they form teams, and affirm casual connections as well as close relationships. Its an important aspect of community building.
