Iran CAPTURES And Sells American Oil Ship In Daring Move; Big Reveal As Trump Turns To Sanctions
Iran says it has sold a seized U.S. oil cargo to compensate 771 Iranian patients suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), also known as Butterfly Disease. According to Irans Judiciary, the oil cargo was seized in the Persian Gulf in 2023 following judicial orders. After a court ruling determined that the oil belonged to the U.S. government, the cargo was sold and the proceeds deposited with Irans Judiciary. The case was brought by EB patients who accused U.S. sanctions of restricting their access to essential medicines. Tehran says the proceeds will now be distributed among the plaintiffs following a final court ruling.

Madras lingo on transportation
A traffic island becomes a roundtana, while Emden, the name of a German cruiser that bombed Madras in 1914, came to mean a bully or devious adversary. Tankuvar Arundudum meaning you lose control of a situation comes from tankuvaru, a Telugu term referring to a small piece of leather used to fasten the saddle to a horse. These are just some words and phrases used in and around Madras, which trace their origins to modes of transportation
When aircrafts took to the Madras skies on metal wings
DAngelis maiden flight in 1910 set in motion the aviation history of Madras. From a record-making 27-hour flight from London to Madras in a de-Havilland Dove and a night land that left the pilots trembling like a leaf to an air taxi that flew all the way to Burma and Alagappa Chettiars Jupiter Airways, the skies above Madras have surely never seen a dull moment
Getting around Madras on autorickshaws
From numbering around 200 in 1973 to around 1 lakh in 2026, autorickshaws in the city have come a long way, but so too has the love-hate relationship the residents share with this ubiquitous mode of transport. But if you are in a hurry, the autorickshaw is your best bet to reach your destination, traffic rule violations and all
How buses became the lifeline of Madras
Packed to the point of tipping over, driven rashly, and battered all over, is how one would describe the MTC buses that ply in the city. While buses were in use in Madras since the 1920s, they really took off only after the tram service met its demise in 1953. Since then, they have become an integral feature of the city and a lifeline for millions
How bicycles, motorcycles took over the roads of Madras
Bicycles first came to Madras sometime in the 1880s, and at the time, they had a modest start, with there even being demands for a separate lane for cyclists. And while cycles were riding onward, two-wheelers of the motor variety, not so quietly, took to the roads. Brands such as Royal Enfield even set up manufacturing units in the region. To this day, two-wheelers number among the most convenient ways for getting around in the city
Hauling about the Madras city on trains
Madras was the first place in India where trains were introduced. In 1856, Royapuram became the terminus for a line that ran to Walajah Road. On the suburban side, the ball began rolling in the 1900s, and while the network grew, it never quite rivalled those in places such as Mumbai. Then came the MRTS, which never realised its full potential. At present, Metro Rail is the citys latest attempt to get back on track

When yellow-black taxis cruised the roads of Madras
In the 1960s and 1970s, yellow taxis were a force to contend with in Madras. While this mode of transport was never as prolific as its contemporaries, it nonetheless had a presence, with the prepaid taxis at the airport being the chief representative. The yellow-black cab was gradually sidelined by services such as taxis on call and aggregator apps. By 2023, it has been reported that only 304 of them still ride around the city

Around Madras city in hand-pulled rickshaws
Hand-pulled rickshaws arrived in Madras early in the 20th Century from Japan, and quickly became a convenience despite its very apparent issues. These were later banned in 1973. Their role was replaced by the marginally better cycle rickshaw, which received a helping hand from MGRs 1971 blockbuster Rickshawkaran
When Madras first tramway took to the streets in the 1870s, it was horse-drawn. A little over two decades later, the city got its electric tramway system going, much before any other city in the country. Up until its demise in April 1953, the Madras Electric Tramways Company Limited was largely plagued by malfunctions, never once managing to turn a profit

Jolted about on carts drawn by oxen and horses in Madras
When animal-powered transportation was in its heyday in the Madras region, it came in multiple varieties. While businessmen preferred the fast-moving rekla, which were even used for races, the horse-drawn jhutkas, which became the first public transport of Madras, were in use as recent as 1969. At one point, these carts required a licence and were even exempt from taxes, at least the ones drawn by horses and bullocks
Masula boats and the fishermen who kept Madras afloat
Before the harbour came into being, arriving in Madras by ship meant making the last leg of the journey on masula boats. These boatmen, who were mostly fishermen from the coast along Madras, knew that they were a vital link in keeping the citys trade alive and made full use of the opportunity. But by the late 1890s, their era had all but come to an end
Of the time when people were carried in palanquins in Madras
Palanquins, the very word tracing its origins to the Sanskrit paryanka and the Tamil pallakku, were how the high and mighty got around Madras of the 17th and 18th Centuries. Even records of The East India Company contain details of hire charges of palanquin bearers, with rates higher than even hiring horses. Nowadays, this yesteryear means of transport is mainly consigned to museums

SC rejects plea to reopen CBSE portal for Class 12 answer re-evaluation
The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to direct the reopening of CBSE's portal for the re-evaluation of class 12 answer sheets for students with complaints with the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. CBSE's OSM evaluation system is a digital grading method where teachers assess scanned copies of physical answer sheets on a computer instead of checking physical paper scripts. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said the portal was opened for all candidates for a specified period and reopening could trigger fresh claims. Why should we direct them to open this window again for you? If you don't use the bus, you miss the bus. The window was open for everyone for a specified period, the CJI said. The counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted he was seeking only one week's time. The website crashed and many students could not apply for on-screen verification, he said.

In the late 1700s, a shipment of 1772 seeds sparked a significant invasion of non-native trees across southern U.S. forests.
